- 0:34Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan is here. My name is Chuck Powell. We
- 0:37Speaker 2: just had a great time watching the NFL Draft Day
- 0:40Speaker 2: number one yesterday kind of made all that draft is
- 0:42Speaker 2: hard work worth it.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Oh, Absolutely, it's nice when it all when it pays off,
- 0:46Speaker 3: and you go through the whole month just planning and
- 0:48Speaker 3: prepping and getting the whole house excited, and then on
- 0:52Speaker 3: Draft miss day you all get to be cozy and
- 0:55Speaker 3: you know, in your pj's by the fire.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Yeah, makes all that hard it all in worth while.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I'm so glad they didn't cancel it. You know, you
- 1:03Speaker 2: and I put in all that effort, and then if
- 1:04Speaker 2: I would have found out yesterday they were just like,
- 1:07Speaker 2: you know what, couldn't get enough people here calling off
- 1:12Speaker 2: the worst. Yeah, the band, the band had to cancel.
- 1:15Speaker 2: So we're going to cancel the whole operation.
- 1:17Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you can't have a year without draft, miss.
- 1:21Speaker 2: I know, I know. Three hundred and twenty thousand people
- 1:26Speaker 2: showed up in Pittsburgh's that's considered a small market. Yeah,
- 1:30Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty thousand people showed up. They shut
- 1:33Speaker 2: down a bridge, a major thoroughfare to accommodate the draft
- 1:38Speaker 2: last night in Pittsburgh, and no one complained because they're like,
- 1:42Speaker 2: why is the bridge shot? I'm trying to get home. Oh,
- 1:44Speaker 2: the Steelers are doing a big party in the Oh,
- 1:46Speaker 2: that's fine. Yeah.
- 1:47Speaker 3: And again, kids did virtual learning. It was virtual learning yesterday.
- 1:51Speaker 3: It is the same thing today. Because how many people
- 1:54Speaker 3: are in Pittsburgh.
- 1:55Speaker 4: For the draft?
- 1:55Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:56Speaker 4: Yeah, but no, it's not a big deal. The NFL
- 1:58Speaker 4: Draft not a big one.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Wy are you guys talking about There's nobody cares.
- 2:00Speaker 4: About this, No one cares.

- 2:29Speaker 2: the day to get you set for the weekend, to
- 2:31Speaker 2: recap the week as well. It is your full service,
- 2:34Speaker 2: one stop shop for news and information, water cooler talk
- 2:38Speaker 2: that you're gonna need all week in long, especially now
- 2:41Speaker 2: that you're hanging out with the buddies around the barbecue
- 2:43Speaker 2: pit more frequently.
- 2:45Speaker 4: That's right, get around that pit.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Were of course, going to start with the NFL Draft,
- 2:49Speaker 2: where the Seahawks decided last night to stick and pick
- 2:52Speaker 2: at number thirty two. Dylan, when you're ready, stage is yours?
- 3:02Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 3:04Speaker 3: That's wrong?
- 3:05Speaker 4: This kid is the best, Yez.
- 3:09Speaker 2: I'm so excited to be here. Who represents the twelve
- 3:13Speaker 2: oh and no.
- 3:18Speaker 5: Es in.
- 3:22Speaker 4: You got excited?
- 3:28Speaker 1: And with that, with.
- 3:30Speaker 2: The thirty second bick in the twenty twenty sixth NFL Draft,
- 3:35Speaker 2: the Seattle Sea Hawks select Jdarian Bryce notre name running back.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Oh uh Dylan, Yeah, I was Dylan Seahawk fan. Was
- 3:48Speaker 2: that there were there two make a wish? He was
- 3:50Speaker 2: a make a wish.
- 3:51Speaker 4: He was a make a wish he is.
- 3:52Speaker 3: He has beaten cancer twice, including the brain tumor. Yes,
- 3:56Speaker 3: and the excitement. I was like, man, if you aren't
- 3:59Speaker 3: pumped after they could have picked anyone.
- 4:03Speaker 4: Dylan had me so fired up. I did not care.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Three things stood out to me about it. That Ashley
- 4:09Speaker 2: loved it so much. He was, you know, texting last night. Yeah.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Number two, how Terry Ryan and every engineers slash stage
- 4:17Speaker 2: manager you'd be like, don't grip the.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Money, don't grip the money, take it away from your face,
- 4:21Speaker 3: take it away from your face. But he was just
- 4:22Speaker 3: so anormal and so excited, and I love that he
- 4:25Speaker 3: like he just had it together when he was like,
- 4:27Speaker 3: oh man, the raining, I mean, he was in it.
- 4:31Speaker 2: And then the third thing that struck me is that
- 4:33Speaker 2: no one in Pittsburgh could boo the kid because he'd
- 4:36Speaker 2: survived cancer twice, even though you know, they did not
- 4:39Speaker 2: want to hear him scream at the top of his lungs. Yeah,
- 4:43Speaker 2: that the Seahawks were champions so they had to just
- 4:46Speaker 2: take it.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the best.
- 4:47Speaker 3: And then the fact too that he goes from Super
- 4:50Speaker 3: Bowl champions and with that and it's like so business,
- 4:55Speaker 3: good job Dylan.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Yeah, he just crushed it. It was awesome.
- 4:59Speaker 2: The pick was Jadarian Price, running back out of Notre Dame.
- 5:02Speaker 2: I mean, if you followed along at all with the
- 5:04Speaker 2: draft story, the one the Seahawks we've narrated here in
- 5:09Speaker 2: the last month leading up to last night, then you
- 5:11Speaker 2: certainly were familiar with the name. Jadarian Price might have
- 5:14Speaker 2: been the guy we discussed most frequently on these airwaves,
- 5:18Speaker 2: considered by the strong consensus of draft analysts to be
- 5:22Speaker 2: the second best running back in the draft, but he
- 5:25Speaker 2: was never anything more than a backup running back in college.
- 5:28Speaker 2: He just happened to be backing up the best running
- 5:31Speaker 2: back in the country and maybe the best player in
- 5:33Speaker 2: the country. It marks the first time an NFL draft
- 5:36Speaker 2: history that the top two running backs taken in the
- 5:38Speaker 2: draft were from the same school. Price will finally get
- 5:41Speaker 2: his chance to be a RB one and it'll happen
- 5:44Speaker 2: in the pros. And one of the things about that,
- 5:47Speaker 2: there are a couple of things about that. On the
- 5:49Speaker 2: positive side, plenty of tread on those tires. He didn't
- 5:53Speaker 2: get used and abused at the college level, where an
- 5:57Speaker 2: NFL team would have been I don't know, you're going
- 6:00Speaker 2: to hit the wall earlier than most. If you're drafting him,
- 6:04Speaker 2: you're getting somebody fresh as a daisy. If you're John Schneider.
- 6:08Speaker 2: He has not really taken the abuse that running backs
- 6:12Speaker 2: of this caliber tend to take because of the unique
- 6:15Speaker 2: situation that he was in at Notre Dame. On the
- 6:18Speaker 2: downside of that, something that Hugh Millen was talking about
- 6:22Speaker 2: last night in our draft coverage, he weighs only two
- 6:24Speaker 2: hundred and three pounds. That's ten pounds lighter than ken Walker,
- 6:28Speaker 2: who wasn't exactly a big running back, And of course
- 6:32Speaker 2: ken Walker had his injury issues here, and so what
- 6:36Speaker 2: you have is a guy that's slightly under what you
- 6:39Speaker 2: would want out of a RB one in terms of
- 6:42Speaker 2: his size. Plus the mystery that can this guy get
- 6:48Speaker 2: a lot of carries? Because he never has we've never
- 6:51Speaker 2: seen him take abuse. How do we know he will
- 6:53Speaker 2: be able to take the abuse of the National Football League?
- 6:56Speaker 2: How do we It's not that we don't think he's durable,
- 6:59Speaker 2: We just don't have any proof that he is.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Durham, right, we don't know what we don't know.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but draft experts, all of them like him. Yeah,
- 7:08Speaker 2: there's no way that doesn't like him. And the selection
- 7:11Speaker 2: certainly satisfies what many believed to be the World Champion's
- 7:14Speaker 2: biggest hole on its roster following the loss of Walker.
- 7:18Speaker 2: But although the price might have been right, he may
- 7:22Speaker 2: not have been the showcase showdown. John and Mike thought
- 7:27Speaker 2: that they were bidding on the Hawks, had a plan
- 7:30Speaker 2: to trade down from thirty two the entire time, and
- 7:35Speaker 2: yet that got foiled. Here's GM John Schneider after the draft.
- 7:40Speaker 6: Yeah, great player, great person. We thought we had some
- 7:43Speaker 6: opportunities for a minute, they fell apart. There's a lot
- 7:46Speaker 6: of like there's a lot of trading going on there,
- 7:48Speaker 6: and like we're ahead of us. But I mean, he
- 7:55Speaker 6: was he cast it alone, great player, the persons, outstanding,
- 8:00Speaker 6: the competitor, he's just a yeah.
- 8:02Speaker 2: I mean he's a seahawk.
- 8:03Speaker 6: It's it's it's really cool. And we were kind of
- 8:06Speaker 6: actually concerned that people were gonna go ahead of us
- 8:08Speaker 6: because it was I felt like it was just so
- 8:10Speaker 6: out there, you know, in terms of like mock drafts
- 8:12Speaker 6: and what have you.
- 8:13Speaker 2: John Schneider hates mock drafts.
- 8:16Speaker 4: You could hear in terms of mock drafts, he hates it.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I don't know why.
- 8:20Speaker 4: I mean, speculation that's half the fun.
- 8:22Speaker 2: It's fun, it's building up the hype. You don't have
- 8:25Speaker 2: to make some snotty comment every year that they don't
- 8:28Speaker 2: know what they're talking about, and you do. You've got
- 8:32Speaker 2: two super Bowl rings. We all know that you know
- 8:35Speaker 2: what you're talking about. Let us have our fun.
- 8:37Speaker 4: Yeah, let us play calm down. Yeah, you know, it's
- 8:41Speaker 4: like fantasy football for the NFL Draft. It's just fun.
- 8:44Speaker 2: It's fun. Well, the Hawks were expected to trade down
- 8:47Speaker 2: from the last pick in the round all along, but
- 8:51Speaker 2: as he mentioned, there were six trades within the span
- 8:55Speaker 2: of like eight picks at leading up to the Seahawks pick.
- 8:59Speaker 2: So all of the possible trade partners that the Seahawks
- 9:03Speaker 2: were engaged with undoubtedly over the last few weeks, Like
- 9:07Speaker 2: I'm sure they knew a lot of candidates for wanting
- 9:10Speaker 2: to trade up into the first round, and they probably
- 9:13Speaker 2: had some tentative stuff planned with them. And that was
- 9:16Speaker 2: supposed to be at thirty two, like an easy phone call,
- 9:19Speaker 2: all right, we got to pick, we got your guy,
- 9:21Speaker 2: we don't want him, let's move down, And instead all
- 9:25Speaker 2: of those teams moved up ahead of them, and it
- 9:28Speaker 2: went bang bang bang bang bang. There were six trades
- 9:31Speaker 2: and the span of actually it was six picks. I
- 9:34Speaker 2: mean two teams traded twice. Yeah, in the span of
- 9:36Speaker 2: six picks, And so all of a sudden, John's watching
- 9:40Speaker 2: before his eyes all of those second round trade dance
- 9:45Speaker 2: partners kind of just dissolve. And the next thing he knew, Man,
- 9:50Speaker 2: it's more valuable just to stick and pick and get
- 9:53Speaker 2: our guys stay and play here at thirty two. Let's
- 9:57Speaker 2: not mess around with this. I don't want to have
- 9:59Speaker 2: to trade too far down into the second round because
- 10:01Speaker 2: I might miss out on my pick that I want.
- 10:04Speaker 2: So we went ahead, stuck with a pick he goes
- 10:07Speaker 2: with Jadarian price.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm glad they did.
- 10:09Speaker 3: I mean, if it wasn't going to work out in
- 10:11Speaker 3: the perfect plan of what we all thought was going
- 10:14Speaker 3: to happen, moving to thirty four and then still getting
- 10:16Speaker 3: your guy, okay, well, at.
- 10:17Speaker 4: Least we got our guy.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Yeah. And the Ty Simpson thing as well, that was
- 10:20Speaker 2: supposed to be a guy crazy they were supposed to
- 10:22Speaker 2: be available to them in the rams. Comedically, yeh ruined
- 10:27Speaker 2: that possibility as well. So look, you just got to
- 10:30Speaker 2: look at it as you got a guy you wanted,
- 10:34Speaker 2: and maybe you didn't get everything out of that process
- 10:38Speaker 2: that you wanted to get out of it. But you
- 10:40Speaker 2: landed somebody that you liked, satisfied a need, and so
- 10:45Speaker 2: I think you should feel happy about it. There was
- 10:47Speaker 2: some criticism that John and Mike sounded subdued and almost disappointed,
- 10:51Speaker 2: but it had nothing to do with the player. It
- 10:53Speaker 2: had everything to do with the process didn't work out
- 10:56Speaker 2: the way they.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Hoped, right, and they I mean, they're both very smart.
- 10:59Speaker 3: They probably thought they had it all planned out perfectly
- 11:01Speaker 3: and it was going to go that way, and when
- 11:03Speaker 3: it didn't and it just went to chaos, I think
- 11:05Speaker 3: they were surprised.
- 11:06Speaker 2: Well, now we get ready for day number two of
- 11:09Speaker 2: this three day extravaganza. Tonight you'll have rounds two and
- 11:14Speaker 2: three that will be held. No, I'm just getting warmed up,
- 11:18Speaker 2: that's right. And then on Saturday we'll have rounds four
- 11:22Speaker 2: through seven, and you've got complete coverage right here at
- 11:25Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, Seattle currently has
- 11:28Speaker 2: just three picks remaining, sixty four ninety six and one
- 11:32Speaker 2: eighty eight. The remaining needs, we all seem to agree,
- 11:36Speaker 2: are defensive back and an edge rusher, at least edge
- 11:40Speaker 2: rushing depth and so that's what they seem to be
- 11:43Speaker 2: after now it should be worth noting, well, just now
- 11:46Speaker 2: trade down. Okay, sure you can trade down from sixty four.
- 11:49Speaker 2: You can trade down from ninety six. Hell, you can
- 11:50Speaker 2: trade down from one eighty eight. But the longer you
- 11:53Speaker 2: go into the draft, the least less valuable that pick becomes.
- 11:57Speaker 2: So their most their best opportunity unity to trade down
- 12:01Speaker 2: and get some extra draft capital, was at thirty two.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Thus the frustration, the disappointment that you heard in their
- 12:08Speaker 2: voices last night. They can trade down from sixty four,
- 12:11Speaker 2: but you're probably going to get a fifth rounder at
- 12:13Speaker 2: the best or sixth rounder thrown in there, and that's
- 12:17Speaker 2: just not as valuable as what you could have had
- 12:19Speaker 2: by trading down at thirty two. So Greg Bell told
- 12:22Speaker 2: us a couple of hours ago his expectation is that
- 12:25Speaker 2: they stay at sixty four, and they stay at ninety
- 12:27Speaker 2: six and satisfy those two other big needs that they
- 12:30Speaker 2: seem to have to us, which is edge and also cornerback.
- 12:36Speaker 3: It was surprising to me, though, that Greg said this
- 12:38Speaker 3: morning that he thought Brandon Seasick could still be an
- 12:40Speaker 3: option at sixty four, because I wouldn't I would have
- 12:43Speaker 3: thought it.
- 12:44Speaker 4: But the way everyone's fallen.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Yeah, the way that the cornerbacks fell and are continuing
- 12:49Speaker 2: to fall. I think there were only two taken in
- 12:53Speaker 2: the entire first round, if I'm not mistaken, Chris Johnson
- 12:56Speaker 2: Miami and then Delon to the Chief. Yeah, I think
- 13:00Speaker 2: those are oser. Yeah, man sword delayne delayne Delaney. I
- 13:04Speaker 2: heard it pronounced by somebody from New Orleans who Dallana,
- 13:08Speaker 2: which is what that's my preferred pronunciation, but I think
- 13:11Speaker 2: he goes by just Delaine. But anyway, the cornerbacks did
- 13:15Speaker 2: drop last night, so maybe Ceas could be there by
- 13:18Speaker 2: the seashore for the Seahawks to pick. At sixty four.
- 13:22Speaker 2: We shall see Rob Ring's gonna join us at eight thirty.
- 13:24Speaker 2: We'll get his thoughts on what happened last night and
- 13:27Speaker 2: who he thinks could be available at sixty four at
- 13:29Speaker 2: eight thirty. Hugh's gonna join us at nine o'clock, so
- 13:32Speaker 2: we'll have nearly a full hour with Youhugh at nine o'clock,
- 13:35Speaker 2: breaking it all down. Draft coverage Day number two on
- 13:38Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ A RFM. Same
- 13:41Speaker 2: thing on Saturday as well, with Ian and myself hosting
- 13:44Speaker 2: on Saturday so Ian and I will be working on Saturday.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Mike Rabel will not be working on Saturday. So yeah,
- 13:53Speaker 2: so it just be it'll be just the just the
- 13:55Speaker 2: two of us. Rabel did announce yesterday that apparently some
- 14:02Speaker 2: well not apparently, some new information has come out. Turns
- 14:06Speaker 2: out that the Mike Vrabel Diana Russini relationship affair has
- 14:11Speaker 2: been going on for a long time, and at that
- 14:15Speaker 2: point Rabel he Patriots PR had to remove him from
- 14:21Speaker 2: the scene. So he announced yesterday in a press conference
- 14:25Speaker 2: that he's not going to be involved on day three
- 14:28Speaker 2: of the draft, and spoke in a press conference right
- 14:32Speaker 2: before the draft.
- 14:33Speaker 3: So last two and a half weeks, we go from
- 14:35Speaker 3: your original statement about you know, any situation the.
- 14:37Speaker 7: Voters or anything other than it was lapable to your
- 14:40Speaker 7: comments Tuesday to now deciding to go to counseling.
- 14:43Speaker 2: What is that process.
- 14:44Speaker 5: Well, that's that's a private and personal matter. I don't
- 14:47Speaker 5: think that those comments. I think that that was, you know,
- 14:52Speaker 5: always in an attempt to protect your family.
- 14:54Speaker 2: And I would never.
- 14:57Speaker 5: Be dismissive, but I think my family and this football
- 15:01Speaker 5: team but the most important thing, and that's that's what
- 15:04Speaker 5: I plan to do. And I'm excited about the the challenge.
- 15:09Speaker 2: You're trying to protect your family. You wouldn't had a
- 15:11Speaker 2: seven year affair with somebody that a lot of your
- 15:15Speaker 2: peers have been with.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Well yeah.
- 15:17Speaker 3: And also to say that's laughable when people ask about photos.
- 15:22Speaker 3: It wasn't like someone just saw them and said, oh,
- 15:24Speaker 3: I saw these people and then you say, oh, that's laughable. No,
- 15:27Speaker 3: there was photo evidence, and so you come out and
- 15:30Speaker 3: you say that's laughable.
- 15:31Speaker 4: No, that is actually dismissive.
- 15:32Speaker 3: So to say that wasn't supposed to be dismissive, What
- 15:34Speaker 3: was it supposed to be because you were one hundred
- 15:37Speaker 3: percent dismissive.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Well, not to mention I don't like the argument that
- 15:40Speaker 2: might have been me trying to protect my family. No,
- 15:43Speaker 2: you're trying to protect yourself from your family.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Your family is the last people you've been thinking about
- 15:47Speaker 3: this whole time.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that story's not over, man. It just keeps
- 15:51Speaker 2: getting more convoluted. And if I were to follow Instagram
- 15:56Speaker 2: and TikTok and lead, that's all we would be talking
- 16:01Speaker 2: about today, because it seems like that's all anybody's talking
- 16:04Speaker 2: about everywhere. Yeah, so we at least had to put
- 16:06Speaker 2: it in the OCHO, but I'm not going to spend
- 16:09Speaker 2: a lot of time on it because I still have
- 16:11Speaker 2: stuff from a great first day of the NFL Draft
- 16:14Speaker 2: to get to his item number five and our eight
- 16:16Speaker 2: item OCHHO. We haven't even talked about the rest of
- 16:19Speaker 2: the teams in the National Football League in the OHO.
- 16:22Speaker 2: And perhaps the biggest surprise that happened last night was
- 16:26Speaker 2: at pick thirteen, with the thirteenth pick in the twenty
- 16:29Speaker 2: twenty sixth NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams select Ty Simpson,
- 16:36Speaker 2: quarterback Alabama. Now we were all surprised. This added some
- 16:41Speaker 2: juice last night, and my reaction to it was good
- 16:45Speaker 2: on Ian Rappaport because he was reporting on this relationship
- 16:48Speaker 2: between less Need and the Simpson family all day long,
- 16:51Speaker 2: and I'm like, good for him. He really had that story.
- 16:54Speaker 2: I didn't hear anybody else talking about it, so that's
- 16:56Speaker 2: what I went with. And then I'm like, well, obviously
- 16:58Speaker 2: the Rams really like this kid all along, and they
- 17:02Speaker 2: traded away their thirtieth pick, and so if they were
- 17:04Speaker 2: going to get him, they only had the thirteenth pick
- 17:06Speaker 2: to use in order to get him. But it was
- 17:08Speaker 2: still the wow moment because all the talk by the
- 17:12Speaker 2: end of the draftness process was that he might not
- 17:15Speaker 2: even go in the first round, and the Rams end
- 17:17Speaker 2: up taking him at thirteen. Overall that then it gets
- 17:21Speaker 2: really fun because apparently Rams general manager Les Snead did
- 17:27Speaker 2: not consult with his head coach Sean McVay on the
- 17:30Speaker 2: matter at all. He made the pick. Sean McVay has
- 17:34Speaker 2: never spoken to the kid. When asked about it by
- 17:38Speaker 2: Kay Adams in an interview a couple of weeks ago,
- 17:41Speaker 2: McVeigh said, no, we won't be taking Ty Simpson. I've
- 17:44Speaker 2: done no work on him at all. Oh perfect, And
- 17:47Speaker 2: then Snead, it feels like cook Simpson because he told
- 17:54Speaker 2: the Simpson family that he's a first rounder. Simpson left
- 17:59Speaker 2: college and now all of a sudden, Sneed looked like,
- 18:02Speaker 2: oh no, I misled that family he's not going to
- 18:04Speaker 2: get drafted in the first round, so he decided to
- 18:07Speaker 2: take him anyway. I mean, he obviously really likes him, right,
- 18:10Speaker 2: but his head coach does not. And in the post
- 18:13Speaker 2: game or post draft press conference, McVeigh look noticeably agitated,
- 18:19Speaker 2: very short with his answers, and he hammered home two things.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Number One, Matt Stafford's our quarterback for as long as
- 18:26Speaker 2: he wants to be and number two our backup is
- 18:29Speaker 2: Stetson Bennett.
- 18:30Speaker 3: Yeah, and why would you the thirteenth pick on not
- 18:34Speaker 3: making your team better?
- 18:35Speaker 4: Right now?
- 18:36Speaker 3: You are not far off from being Super Bowl champions yourself.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Now that's what paces him all.
- 18:40Speaker 4: Yeah, you did something that doesn't help you at all.
- 18:42Speaker 2: This year or next year next year are probably the
- 18:45Speaker 2: following its baffling. Fernando Mendoza did go number one to Vegas.
- 18:48Speaker 2: The Jets did choose David Bailey over Rvel Reese, who
- 18:52Speaker 2: ended up falling five to the Giants. Miami. Rubin Bain
- 18:55Speaker 2: Junior probably was the biggest slip to fifteen in Tampa Bay.
- 18:59Speaker 2: He was angry about it. He shouldn't be. That's a
- 19:01Speaker 2: good fit for him. And defensive tackle Caleb Banks was
- 19:04Speaker 2: probably the biggest reach last night at eighteen two Minnesota.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Most people had him as a second round value pick.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Mackay Lemon Philly and host Pittsburgh created some drama last
- 19:15Speaker 2: night as well. As Lemon was on the phone with
- 19:18Speaker 2: Pittsburgh the Steelers telling them they were going to take
- 19:22Speaker 2: him at twenty one. Philadelphia moved up ahead of them
- 19:26Speaker 2: and grabbed Lemon in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys.
- 19:29Speaker 2: So some great drama last night. Just a great night.
- 19:31Speaker 2: It was just a great draft. Yeah, all right, we
- 19:34Speaker 2: got other items. There are other things going on in
- 19:36Speaker 2: the sports world, including the Mariners heading to my old
- 19:39Speaker 2: neck of the Nape. Yeah, headed to Saint Louis, rebuilding.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Saint Louis Is off to a fourteen and ten start
- 19:46Speaker 2: that didn't make sense. Defending AL West champs and AL
- 19:49Speaker 2: Pennant favorite seattles off to an eleven and fifteen start
- 19:52Speaker 2: that didn't make sense either. So hopefully we prove that
- 19:56Speaker 2: all of those preseason predictions are accurate and and we
- 20:00Speaker 2: start turning the tables on the Saint Louis Cardinals. George
- 20:04Speaker 2: Kirby starts tonight. Andre Pallant right hander. Good news, he's
- 20:08Speaker 2: right handed.
- 20:09Speaker 4: Oh okay, we got this.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna pitch for Saint Louis. First pitch from
- 20:12Speaker 2: Saint Louis at five fifteen. The NBA Playoffs. It was
- 20:16Speaker 2: a night for the underdogs, not that anybody watched it
- 20:19Speaker 2: because they decided to put all the games on a
- 20:21Speaker 2: streaming channel against the NBA Draft. I hope four people
- 20:25Speaker 2: watched the NBA Playoffs last night. But the Atlanta Hawks
- 20:29Speaker 2: are starting to make things really interesting.
- 20:31Speaker 4: On the miss.
- 20:32Speaker 2: If there is one and you're gonna be able to
- 20:34Speaker 2: rebound it, get it in McCollums. Fire Hawks take the
- 20:42Speaker 2: lead one O nine.
- 20:45Speaker 1: What a week.
- 20:46Speaker 2: He's made two game winning shots within the last ten
- 20:49Speaker 2: seconds of the game already in this series.
- 20:52Speaker 4: Wow.
- 20:52Speaker 2: CJ. McCollum. The next biggest nightmare man if I can
- 20:56Speaker 2: get before the end of the weekend. Sean mcmade a
- 20:59Speaker 2: punch us need and the Mix to get knocked out
- 21:04Speaker 2: of the first round of the playoffs. That would be amazing.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs look fun. Wish we were at that party.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Jason Bottrel this week, of course, was the latest person
- 21:18Speaker 2: within the krack An organization to apologize that the krack.
- 21:22Speaker 7: And have not yet gotten it right. Well, I think
- 21:24Speaker 7: the future of the Seattle Cracking.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Is very bright.
- 21:28Speaker 7: Bottom line is is we're not where we want to
- 21:30Speaker 7: be after five years. It's an important time for our franchise.
- 21:37Speaker 7: We have a strong foundation here, but changes need to
- 21:41Speaker 7: be made. When I was introduced last year as GM,
- 21:46Speaker 7: we were very clear that I would have final say
- 21:48Speaker 7: in hockey operations decisions. We may change us on and
- 21:53Speaker 7: off the ice, to our players, to our coaches, to
- 21:56Speaker 7: strengthen this team. When I reflect back on this season,
- 22:00Speaker 7: there are moments that I was very proud of. We
- 22:05Speaker 7: talked at the start of the year but wanting to
- 22:06Speaker 7: be in the playoff hunt. We were, but ultimately we
- 22:11Speaker 7: fell short.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Jason Botrel earlier this week, and man, they're saying the
- 22:17Speaker 2: same things. I'm not going to say the right things.
- 22:20Speaker 2: They're saying the same things now organizationally over there. For
- 22:24Speaker 2: those that thought, oh man, he sounds a little uncomfortable,
- 22:27Speaker 2: sounds like there are a few pauses, pregnant pauses in
- 22:29Speaker 2: between those words. Well, if you ever had to speak
- 22:32Speaker 2: while being directly over a hot seat, it's uncomfortable. It's
- 22:37Speaker 2: very uncomfortable. So they got this is a really important
- 22:41Speaker 2: offseason for a lot of people, and Jason Botrill included.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Buffalo won over Boston last night three to one. They're
- 22:47Speaker 2: up to one Carolina and Ottawa. There's been a great
- 22:50Speaker 2: series and poor Ottawa they've lost all three, but they
- 22:53Speaker 2: have gone toe to toe with one of the best
- 22:55Speaker 2: teams in the NHL. Colorado also has had a little
- 22:58Speaker 2: bit of difficulty with the Kings, and yet they're three
- 23:00Speaker 2: to zero tonight Tampa Bay at Montreal, Las Vegas at Utah,
- 23:03Speaker 2: Edmonton at Anaheim. All of those series are tied at
- 23:07Speaker 2: one goal apiece. And then let me throw in a
- 23:09Speaker 2: ninth item with the O show here today Sounders in
- 23:11Speaker 2: FC Dallas tomorrow at seven point thirty and that will
- 23:14Speaker 2: be at Loomin Field, all right, coming up next. Rob
- 23:17Speaker 2: rang joins us his thoughts on Day one of the
- 23:20Speaker 2: NFL Draft and who he thinks the Seahawks might get
- 23:23Speaker 2: in day two. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
- 23:35Speaker 2: That's another thing about draftness that might have an advantage
- 23:39Speaker 2: over our old friend Christmas. Sanna has never had to
- 23:43Speaker 2: conduct a press conference. He just drops off his presents
- 23:47Speaker 2: and leaves. He doesn't have to answer for it. It's
- 23:49Speaker 2: not like, hey, you got me ties and cologne.
- 23:53Speaker 4: I asked for a PlayStation A you know what what.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Gives big Man? Yeah? No on Schneider Schneider Claus has
- 24:01Speaker 2: to answer for it. And look at Saint Pickolas. Saint
- 24:04Speaker 2: Pickolas himself, I'm gonna do all of that work for
- 24:07Speaker 2: you during Draftmas, to talk to you about who should
- 24:10Speaker 2: go where. And yet once the picks start being made,
- 24:14Speaker 2: who's here, but Saint Pickolas, that's right right at our doorstep. Yeah,
- 24:18Speaker 2: ready to share with us all of his vast knowledge
- 24:22Speaker 2: that he's gained over the years being a powerful entity
- 24:25Speaker 2: during the Draftmas holiday season. Yeahlis, thank goodness our Draftmas.
- 24:29Speaker 2: Joining us on the program is our NFL Draft expert
- 24:32Speaker 2: from Fox Sports, Rob ring Is with us. Good morning, sir,
- 24:37Speaker 2: Good morning. It was a fun night last night.
- 24:39Speaker 1: I was.
- 24:40Speaker 2: I was just talking about this with Ashley Ashley a
- 24:42Speaker 2: little bit earlier. I don't care if the draft is
- 24:45Speaker 2: a down year for talent, what does that matter. There's
- 24:48Speaker 2: still the same drama. There's still thirty two kids. Last
- 24:53Speaker 2: night they got to see a dream come true. Still,
- 24:56Speaker 2: all the things that we love about the draft, the
- 24:58Speaker 2: trades ups and the trade down, they all happened. Whether
- 25:01Speaker 2: it's a down year for talent anyway, I thought it
- 25:03Speaker 2: was fantastic last night.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Well, I have one hundred percent agree with you. I
- 25:08Speaker 1: just think that the drama of a draft, any draft,
- 25:12Speaker 1: it could be the WNBA a couple a week or
- 25:14Speaker 1: so ago, or the NFL or any other sport. I
- 25:18Speaker 1: just the realization of dreams. As you just mentioned the
- 25:22Speaker 1: fact that the are of course in Super Bowl champions,
- 25:26Speaker 1: and I thought that they addressed their biggest area of concerns.
- 25:31Speaker 1: So I think that yak fans should have slept well
- 25:33Speaker 1: last night and at the same time should be very
- 25:36Speaker 1: excited about the you know, scheduled two picks that they
- 25:39Speaker 1: have today. To me, today is the day for the
- 25:43Speaker 1: twenty twenty six NFL Draft, because, as you said, Jackson,
- 25:46Speaker 1: it's not necessarily a draft class that is just teeming
- 25:50Speaker 1: with superstar talent, but there are a lot of good
- 25:53Speaker 1: starters available. The fact that the Los Angeles Rams in
- 25:56Speaker 1: San Fransco forty nine ers are kind of clearly planned
- 26:00Speaker 1: for the future rather than for playing right now, I
- 26:03Speaker 1: think that the Seahawks are playing for right now, and
- 26:06Speaker 1: whatever gap that the Rams may have narrowed, I think
- 26:11Speaker 1: that the Seahawks, you know, basically just kind of ran
- 26:14Speaker 1: back away with it with this selection of Jendary m
- 26:16Speaker 1: Price number thirty two overall last night.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Yeah, we added to our team. They decided not to
- 26:22Speaker 2: last night, which maybe we'll get into here in a
- 26:24Speaker 2: little bit. But Rob rang is with us. Let let's
- 26:27Speaker 2: talk about Price, because I don't know, I talked to
- 26:30Speaker 2: a lot of people in the last month. I'm not
- 26:32Speaker 2: sure I talked to anyone that was as high on
- 26:34Speaker 2: Jadarian Price as you are. So what is it that
- 26:38Speaker 2: you've liked so much about him and why do you
- 26:41Speaker 2: see him as such a good fit for the Hawks.
- 26:44Speaker 1: Well, I just it's funny when you know that there's
- 26:48Speaker 1: so many drag analysts out there who, frankly, I think,
- 26:52Speaker 1: are watching an awful lot of the scat boxes and
- 26:57Speaker 1: how many opportunities players have instead of watching the ape.
- 27:01Speaker 1: And I think if you watch the tape, you're going
- 27:03Speaker 1: to fall in love with with Jadarium Price and just
- 27:06Speaker 1: his instincts as a runner. I know that it was
- 27:10Speaker 1: perceived as a bold take when I said on your
- 27:12Speaker 1: show that I think that he's going to wind up
- 27:15Speaker 1: becoming a better or at least a more productive running back.
- 27:19Speaker 1: Running back then Jeremiah Love. Of course, the accomplished you know,
- 27:25Speaker 1: notre Dame back that went number three overall the Arizona Cardinals.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Of course, SEAUK fans are going to get their share of,
- 27:31Speaker 1: you know, views of him. I just think JERRYM. Price
- 27:35Speaker 1: is as a back that really anticipates holds very very well,
- 27:40Speaker 1: and that his four point four to nine second forty
- 27:44Speaker 1: yard dash time is doesn't really reflect how explosive of
- 27:48Speaker 1: a runner that he is on the field. And so
- 27:52Speaker 1: given the fact that sele does have a quality offensive line,
- 27:56Speaker 1: they do have quality at receiver at quarterback, then he
- 28:01Speaker 1: is going to be asked to kind of be a
- 28:03Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle, whereas some of the other players
- 28:06Speaker 1: drafted earlier, like Jeremia Love are going to be basically
- 28:09Speaker 1: asked to kind of carry the load. And I think
- 28:12Speaker 1: the geneman Price has the skill set as a runner,
- 28:15Speaker 1: as a receiver, as a returner. Obviously Sile has a
- 28:18Speaker 1: dynamic returner already in Rashi chihib but you always want depth.
- 28:22Speaker 1: I just see superstardom with Jim Price, and then, frankly,
- 28:27Speaker 1: had he not been the backup most of his college career,
- 28:30Speaker 1: I think that he would have starred elsewhere and not
- 28:33Speaker 1: been anywhere close to available at number thirty two.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Overall, just choked on my own spit. Rob getting ready
- 28:39Speaker 2: to ask a question. Rob rang is with us here,
- 28:43Speaker 2: all right, So sixty four and ninety six give me
- 28:46Speaker 2: an idea of what you think the Seahawks need to
- 28:49Speaker 2: accomplish tonight.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Well, they're going to be going for corners and edge
- 28:53Speaker 1: rushers and to me that that was always the play,
- 28:57Speaker 1: is that he had three areas of concern. That's the
- 29:00Speaker 1: three positions. Of course that you lost down some really
- 29:03Speaker 1: good players in free agency, and so that's the strength
- 29:08Speaker 1: of what is left. I think that it's, you know,
- 29:11Speaker 1: as predicted, at least in my opinion, that Seattle would
- 29:14Speaker 1: recognize that their running back talent was going to drop
- 29:18Speaker 1: off significantly. And I'll put it this way. I have
- 29:20Speaker 1: zero running backs among my top thirty two still available,
- 29:25Speaker 1: where if they have seven cornerbacks, I have seven edge rushers.
- 29:30Speaker 1: And obviously those fourteen players could be the very first
- 29:33Speaker 1: fourteen picks off the board here and Seattle, you know,
- 29:37Speaker 1: weighing thirty two more picks before they're going to select.
- 29:40Speaker 1: They could be left out in the cold in that regard.
- 29:42Speaker 1: But I don't think that's going to be the case.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I think you're going to see a number of wide
- 29:45Speaker 1: receivers and you know, defensive tackles off ball linebackers, and
- 29:49Speaker 1: so I do think that you're going to see an
- 29:51Speaker 1: edge rusher or a cornerback b Seattle selection at number
- 29:54Speaker 1: sixty four overall, or I would not be surprised at
- 29:57Speaker 1: all because of the depth. If this is the pick
- 30:01Speaker 1: at sixty four. Overall, that the Seahawks are able to
- 30:05Speaker 1: trade back a little bit more and get acquire some
- 30:07Speaker 1: more selections for Day three.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe get two Day three picks and then an
- 30:12Speaker 2: extra pick, excuse me, two round three picks and then
- 30:15Speaker 2: an extra day on day number three. What was your reaction.
- 30:19Speaker 2: I'm not sure in the moment that you could have
- 30:23Speaker 2: when you were providing draft coverage, understood everything that was
- 30:27Speaker 2: going into that Ty Simpson pick at thirteen with the Rams.
- 30:31Speaker 2: But I'm guessing that you've seen the reaction from Sean McVay.
- 30:35Speaker 2: He doesn't look too pleased about the selection. Your thoughts
- 30:40Speaker 2: on what our division rivals did at thirteen grabbing Ty Simpson.
- 30:45Speaker 1: I was surprised by it, There's no question about that.
- 30:48Speaker 1: I do think that Ty Simpson is an excellent fit
- 30:51Speaker 1: in Sean mcvay's offense. You know, it's one of the
- 30:54Speaker 1: articles called asked to write right before the draft is basically,
- 30:58Speaker 1: you know, the quarterback tears and who would they be
- 31:02Speaker 1: good fits for their NFL systems? And I lifted the
- 31:05Speaker 1: Arizona Cargos in the Los Angeles Rams as my favorite
- 31:08Speaker 1: fix for Ty Simpson. That said number thirteen. Overall just
- 31:12Speaker 1: felt like opportunity for the general manager left snead to
- 31:16Speaker 1: give Rams head coach Sean mccagh, of course, a weapon,
- 31:21Speaker 1: you know, somebody that might be able to narrow whatever
- 31:25Speaker 1: gap there is between the Seahawks and the Rams. And
- 31:28Speaker 1: that could have been a tass rusher like a ruben Bain.
- 31:30Speaker 1: That to me would have been terrifying from a Seattle
- 31:33Speaker 1: perspective of the idea of ruben Bain and Jared Verse
- 31:36Speaker 1: and Braden Fisk and you know, I mean, it just
- 31:39Speaker 1: would have been a pretty formidable defensive line or another
- 31:44Speaker 1: playmaking wide receiver. I was kind of pounding the table
- 31:47Speaker 1: for Rashid Shaheed just because to me, he brings the
- 31:49Speaker 1: same kind of dynamic receiving and return ability that the
- 31:54Speaker 1: Seahawks had have With Rashid Shahed, I thought those were
- 31:58Speaker 1: going to be easy picks the Rams. So when they
- 32:00Speaker 1: went with Tys Simpson, that did surprise me. Obviously is
- 32:05Speaker 1: a plan for the future with the Rams, but you know,
- 32:08Speaker 1: they traded away Jared Goff for the whole idea was
- 32:11Speaker 1: to have a quarterback who has the just absolute cannon
- 32:15Speaker 1: that Matthew Stafford offers and to basically take a step
- 32:18Speaker 1: right back to the quick game here with Tys Simpson
- 32:23Speaker 1: is you know, it is surprising, and I think it's
- 32:26Speaker 1: all it's going to do with anger Matthew Stafford that
- 32:29Speaker 1: much more, and it just speaks to the franchise's concern
- 32:32Speaker 1: about how much Matthew Stafford has back left.
- 32:36Speaker 2: All right, I got about a minute left, and I
- 32:38Speaker 2: want to get two things in, So give me about
- 32:40Speaker 2: twenty five seconds on each one. Who had your favorite draft?
- 32:43Speaker 2: Which team last night?
- 32:46Speaker 1: Favorite draft last night? I am a little Kannessity Chiefs,
- 32:49Speaker 1: Mansor Delaine, and then coming back with the defensive tackle
- 32:52Speaker 1: Peter Woods. To me, I think it's an underrated quality selection,
- 32:56Speaker 1: quality selection Chiefs.
- 32:57Speaker 2: All right, and then tonight give me somebody the Seahawks
- 33:00Speaker 2: will draft tonight.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Well, I mentioned the seven corners. I'm gonna go with. Yeah,
- 33:09Speaker 1: Malik Mohammad, the cornerback from Texas. I just think his length,
- 33:13Speaker 1: his agility, and the level of competition he's faced both
- 33:18Speaker 1: during game day and then certainly in the practices. I
- 33:21Speaker 1: think it's gonna make him very well suited to come
- 33:24Speaker 1: in to the to the Seahawks facility and be able
- 33:27Speaker 1: to make an impact. Immediately.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Did everybody treat you well last night? I mean, I know,
- 33:31Speaker 2: things get a little dirty over there in the draft room.
- 33:34Speaker 2: He didn't bite you or anything, Ian didn't insult you.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Everything went well, Everything went well.
- 33:41Speaker 1: You know, there were a couple of kicks under the table,
- 33:43Speaker 1: just because you know, other people were pushing for different players,
- 33:46Speaker 1: different positions, and I've been, you know, kind of pounding
- 33:49Speaker 1: the table for price this entire time. I feel like
- 33:51Speaker 1: Bob Barker up there, you know. But the price was right,
- 33:56Speaker 1: and and I'm always treated with such a great kindness
- 34:01Speaker 1: by everybody involved with the media and the yachts organization.
- 34:04Speaker 2: All right, well, I will see you tomorrow, have fun tonight,
- 34:07Speaker 2: and appreciate you joining us here this morning.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Always a pleasure, shuck, Thanks, look forward tomorrow.

- 34:43Speaker 4: I mean it's a three out of three or three

- 35:24Speaker 2: Maybe you'll end up running into him at Tlala Resort Casino.
- 35:28Speaker 2: I mean I doubt you'll run into Rabel and Russini there.
- 35:34Speaker 4: Casino days are done, I think.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. But maybe maybe he'll be there
- 35:38Speaker 2: and you can laugh at him for less need going
- 35:41Speaker 2: behind us.
- 35:41Speaker 4: Back and how angry he seems. It's very entertaining.
- 35:44Speaker 2: I mean, it's not the reason you would go to
- 35:46Speaker 2: Tulayla p Resort Pastina. Monus could be a perk. Yeah,

- 36:10Speaker 2: So go to everything to leylup dot com. Oh man,
- 36:14Speaker 2: it is this story just keeps getting better for me.
- 36:17Speaker 2: This Rams Sean McVay less need Ty Simpson story from
- 36:23Speaker 2: last night. I thought it was a bit. It was
- 36:26Speaker 2: certainly the wow moment of the night. Wow, the Rams
- 36:29Speaker 2: just took Ty Simpson. I guess the rumors were true.
- 36:32Speaker 2: They really really liked Ty Simpson. See the end of
- 36:35Speaker 2: the line with Matt Stafford and they want to do
- 36:37Speaker 2: a little baton handoff. When Matt's done, let's give it
- 36:41Speaker 2: to a guy who probably needs a couple of years
- 36:43Speaker 2: of developments and then he runs with it and we
- 36:45Speaker 2: don't have to skip a beat. I mean, that's what
- 36:47Speaker 2: I'm thinking. Still a wow moment, but I'm like rationalizing. Okay,
- 36:51Speaker 2: I guess, I guess Sean McVay really likes him, and
- 36:55Speaker 2: then we found out Sean McVay doesn't like him, and
- 36:58Speaker 2: maybe at all. In his postgame press conference with snead
- 37:02Speaker 2: and McVeigh behind microphones pretty much, Sean McVeigh had one
- 37:07Speaker 2: message that he kept hammering home.
- 37:09Speaker 8: And clearly, this is Matthew's team and you get a
- 37:12Speaker 8: chance to be able to address you know, the backup quarterback.
- 37:14Speaker 8: You know, we've got stets in. We've talked about the
- 37:17Speaker 8: importance of Jimmy, so to be able to add somebody
- 37:20Speaker 8: that you can evaluate a body of work where he
- 37:22Speaker 8: was asked to play the position and a lot of
- 37:24Speaker 8: things that do translate in terms of concepts, reading with
- 37:27Speaker 8: his feet, some of the different things in the drop back,
- 37:30Speaker 8: in the play action game, the movement game. So there's
- 37:33Speaker 8: a lot of things that Coach Grubb did that's very
- 37:36Speaker 8: similar to kind of how we operate. So it made
- 37:38Speaker 8: it an easier evaluation to be able to kind of say,
- 37:41Speaker 8: all right, what would that look like if you did
- 37:43Speaker 8: translate it to our level. But there was a lot
- 37:45Speaker 8: of players that we liked, and there was a lot
- 37:47Speaker 8: of thought that kind of went into it, and we
- 37:49Speaker 8: do feel really fortunate that when you look at the
- 37:51Speaker 8: thirteenth pick, we were able to get that where you know,
- 37:55Speaker 8: Atlanta had any interest in getting a player last year,
- 37:57Speaker 8: we would have taken Ferguson with our first round last
- 38:00Speaker 8: year to move back to still get the guy that
- 38:02Speaker 8: we wanted, and then to basically be able to get
- 38:04Speaker 8: an extra pick and then, oh, by the way, with
- 38:06Speaker 8: your original one, go get a player like Trent McDuffie.
- 38:09Speaker 8: So a lot of different things, but we're always going
- 38:12Speaker 8: to make decisions that we think are best for the short.
- 38:14Speaker 1: And the long term.
- 38:15Speaker 8: But you know, we'll be excited to be able to
- 38:18Speaker 8: get to work with him, and and that's.
- 38:20Speaker 6: Where we're at.
- 38:22Speaker 4: It's real excited.
- 38:23Speaker 2: And there were some other audio things. You have to
- 38:26Speaker 2: just kind of read the body language.
- 38:27Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the problem is like some of them, he's
- 38:29Speaker 3: just so short and angry that you can't see it.
- 38:33Speaker 2: The thing and she's not talking stature wise, he's short.
- 38:37Speaker 2: It's short, his comments for short. Yeah, but he wasn't
- 38:42Speaker 2: even in the room when they called Simpson. Snead had
- 38:44Speaker 2: to call him in, yeah, for the phone call, and
- 38:47Speaker 2: then you know, and he was angry as he got
- 38:49Speaker 2: to the phone, and then once he got to the
- 38:51Speaker 2: phone he put the smile on that that response that
- 38:55Speaker 2: we played though, I mean, if I could interpret it,
- 38:58Speaker 2: and maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm want
- 39:00Speaker 2: to interpret it this way, but there's awful lot of
- 39:03Speaker 2: talk about this here today. It just sounded like, Hey,
- 39:07Speaker 2: I've got to do this young man a solid here.
- 39:11Speaker 2: I've got to play this off for his sake, that
- 39:17Speaker 2: we got a really good player. He does fit our
- 39:20Speaker 2: system because I know he's heard less need tell him that.
- 39:23Speaker 2: And so he did that. And then on the phone call,
- 39:25Speaker 2: he welcomed him and he didn't want to ruin Ty
- 39:28Speaker 2: Simpson's night.
- 39:29Speaker 4: Right, He was very pleasant to him.
- 39:31Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, but that whole we had the thirteenth pick,
- 39:34Speaker 2: there were a lot of guys that we liked. We know,
- 39:38Speaker 2: we traded we got this kind of thirteenth pick. We
- 39:42Speaker 2: were very fortunate to have had it, and it felt
- 39:44Speaker 2: like a luxury pick. And to me My response is
- 39:47Speaker 2: I would have used that much differently than a quarterback
- 39:51Speaker 2: of the future.
- 39:51Speaker 3: Well, he talked more about what they could have gotten
- 39:53Speaker 3: last or would have gotten last year, and what they
- 39:55Speaker 3: got by trading m h.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Yeah. It felt very much to me like I don't
- 40:02Speaker 2: need another quarterback. Stafford's not at the end of his rope.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I really like Stetson Bennett. Because he kept talking about
- 40:10Speaker 2: stets and Bennett last night. We don't and I have
- 40:13Speaker 2: three quarterbacks already that I like. We don't want a
- 40:16Speaker 2: room of four. Some teams only have two.
- 40:19Speaker 4: We need an immediate impact.
- 40:21Speaker 2: And I didn't. We didn't win the NFC West last year,
- 40:25Speaker 2: we didn't win the Super Bowl. And the team that
- 40:30Speaker 2: was better than us a year ago, we need to
- 40:33Speaker 2: do make moves to get better than them this year.
- 40:36Speaker 2: And here we sit with a thirteenth overall pick and
- 40:39Speaker 2: we're spending it on a quarterback of the future three
- 40:43Speaker 2: years down the road. When I've told you over and
- 40:45Speaker 2: over less, I like Stetson Bennett. Yeah, that's how it
- 40:49Speaker 2: came across to me, how it's come across to a
- 40:52Speaker 2: lot of people out there, and then people just like
- 40:56Speaker 2: they've done with Rabel and Russini are digging up things
- 40:58Speaker 2: from the past. Was an interview he did with Kay
- 41:01Speaker 2: Adams where he said he told Kay Adams, I haven't
- 41:04Speaker 2: done any homework on Yeah. That was like two weeks ago,
- 41:07Speaker 2: like three weeks ago. They hadn't done any homework on him.
- 41:11Speaker 2: And then Greg Bell told us this morning that Sean
- 41:13Speaker 2: McVay never even met Ty Simpson. Can you imagine?
- 41:16Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy.
- 41:17Speaker 2: It sounds very much to me like the general manager
- 41:21Speaker 2: wrote a check that his ass couldn't cash. He told
- 41:25Speaker 2: Simpson's family when they asked him and they consulted with him,
- 41:29Speaker 2: should our son come out because he goes seven year,
- 41:32Speaker 2: seven million dollars of nil money if he stays. Is
- 41:35Speaker 2: he ready to come out? And Sneed told them he
- 41:38Speaker 2: is for sure a first round pick. And then by
- 41:40Speaker 2: the time we got to draft night, it didn't look
- 41:43Speaker 2: like anyone else in the National Football League felt like
- 41:45Speaker 2: he was a first round pick except less Need. Yeah,
- 41:49Speaker 2: and he didn't have the thirtieth pick overall anymore because
- 41:52Speaker 2: he traded it for McDuffie. So the only pick that
- 41:55Speaker 2: I have to make good on my word to the
- 41:57Speaker 2: Simpson family is to take him my even though I
- 42:01Speaker 2: know it's going to piss off my head coach.
- 42:03Speaker 4: Just absolutely insane.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Oh I love it.
- 42:05Speaker 4: I do too, because it's not us.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Right and because our biggest competitor, yeah, in the division
- 42:13Speaker 2: and probably for the Super Bowl repeat this year, decided
- 42:17Speaker 2: to take with their thirteenth pick something that will help
- 42:20Speaker 2: them three years from now, while with our thirty second pick,
- 42:24Speaker 2: we plugged our only hole.
- 42:26Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, thank you, that's fun.
