• 0:22
  rodeo continues, folks. I know it's been a while
• 0:26
  since I put out an episode, but I had to go through
• 0:28
  each and every team and evaluate all of their
• 0:31
  free agency moves. far because why? The first
• 0:34
  wave, okay? Yes, wave of free agency is over.
• 0:38
  Things have died down a little bit, so now we
• 0:41
  need to evaluate. All of this and more on the
• 0:44
  74th episode of the Football Junkies Podcast,
• 0:46
  okay? I am your host with the most. I am your
• 0:48
  chief, Bagro Damas. I am your chief, head of
• 0:51
  the table. Anything and everything related to
• 0:54
  the draft, the bag, truth bombs. All those things
• 0:58
  and more. I am that guy. I am your GM who currently
• 1:01
  is not on the team right now. But don't you worry
• 1:04
  about it, okay? Don't you worry about it. Because
• 1:07
  guess what? I am all these things and more, okay?
• 1:10
  But guess what? The most important title that
• 1:12
  you must remember, my fellow football junkies,
• 1:15
  is I am your host, Kale. You already know how
• 1:18
  these things are about to go. If you got to clean
• 1:20
  up your room, clean out your car, wash the dishes,
• 1:22
  clean the grill, whatever you need to do, this
• 1:25
  is the perfect. episode to get those tasks done
• 1:28
  okay while also learning more about your team
• 1:31
  and getting your weekly football junkies fix
• 1:34
  so guess what on three one two three let's lock
• 1:37
  in All right, folks, let's just get into the
• 2:04
  meat and potatoes of everything that is going
• 2:06
  on in the league right now. So let us get into
• 2:09
  these bag alerts, then we'll get into the grades,
• 2:12
  and then we'll get into the divisional rodeo,
• 2:16
  folks, okay? Stephon Diggs inks a four -year
• 2:19
  69 million with the Patriots, 25 million guaranteed.
• 2:22
  He'll be making 17 .2 million a year. When we
• 2:25
  look at his stats, 64 targets for 47 receptions
• 2:29
  for 496 receiving yards. three touchdowns, and
• 2:32
  10 .6 yards per session. My takeaway is the Patriots
• 2:36
  added a veteran receiver who is going to help
• 2:39
  mentor the young receivers that are already there
• 2:42
  in Javon Baker and Jalen Polk and whoever else
• 2:45
  is there. You have somebody who is gonna be able
• 2:48
  to open and expand the offense even more because
• 2:52
  everybody's gonna be focused on Stephon Diggs,
• 2:54
  which will then create... opportunities for Javon
• 2:56
  Baker, Jalen Polk, and Austin Hooper, and everybody
• 3:00
  else on the offense. So all in all, this is a
• 3:03
  really great signing because I would have thought
• 3:05
  Stephon Diggs probably would have asked more.
• 3:07
  But for him to take less, I mean, that's actually...
• 3:11
  Pretty good. Now, he probably took less because
• 3:13
  he wants to be in the division so that he can
• 3:15
  get his revenge on the Bills. Maybe. I don't
• 3:17
  know. I'm not going to speculate. But all in
• 3:19
  all, the Patriots have really shown that, hey,
• 3:22
  listen, we are not somebody that's just going
• 3:24
  to try to build things brick by brick. No, we
• 3:28
  are somebody who is going to allocate the funds
• 3:30
  to some ballers. to some playmakers, to some
• 3:34
  difference makers, so that we can try to make
• 3:37
  this team a little bit better than what it has
• 3:39
  been the last two or three years, which I can't
• 3:41
  blame them for. I mean, they literally have the
• 3:43
  most amount of cap space in the entire league,
• 3:46
  so they can continue to sign players to these
• 3:49
  big contracts and not lose an inch of sleep.
• 3:52
  Not to mention this benefits Drake May as well
• 3:55
  because he now has a reliable weapon that he
• 3:57
  can throw to. Let's be real here, folks. Stephon
• 4:00
  Diggs is still a very productive and consistent
• 4:03
  wide receiver in the league. He is still somebody
• 4:07
  that a lot of defenses still have to plan for.
• 4:10
  He is still somebody that a lot of corners are
• 4:13
  going to have a tough time dealing with because
• 4:14
  you have somebody that's a really good route
• 4:17
  runner, that's really good when it comes to contested
• 4:19
  catches. He can do it all. so all in all great
• 4:23
  job for the patriots this would be a plus just
• 4:26
  off this signing alone but we'll get into that
• 4:29
  part but let's get into the russell wilson conundrum
• 4:32
  okay so russell wilson inks a one -year 10 .5
• 4:34
  million dollar deal which can go up to 21 million
• 4:38
  based off of various criteria that are being
• 4:40
  met 10 .5 million guaranteed he'll be making
• 4:43
  10 .5 million a year so when we look at his stats
• 4:46
  last year 336 attempts for 214 completions for
• 4:50
  2 ,482 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, 5 picks,
• 4:55
  and 7 .4 yards per attempt. Here's the problem
• 4:59
  with Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson believes
• 5:03
  that he is still the Russell Wilson of old, and
• 5:06
  reality hasn't caught up to him yet. We literally
• 5:09
  saw somebody who was just waiting for the Steelers
• 5:12
  to call him back and to give him a deal. And
• 5:15
  the Steelers didn't want to do that. And a lot
• 5:18
  of that has to do with Russ. Because Russ's team
• 5:21
  leaked out a story to Pittsburgh Post -Gazette
• 5:25
  insider Jerry Dulac, alleging that there were,
• 5:28
  I would say, disagreement between Arthur Smith
• 5:31
  and Russell Wilson. And so the ripple effect
• 5:35
  that it caused was not only felt in the locker
• 5:38
  room, but it was also felt in the front office
• 5:41
  as well. And so in doing so, that probably fractured
• 5:45
  whatever little chance that he had left to go
• 5:47
  back to the Steelers. And so there were rumors
• 5:51
  that he may go to the Browns. That didn't happen.
• 5:54
  And so the only valuable choice was who? The
• 5:57
  Giants. Because the Giants have been looking
• 5:59
  for a quarterback. Now, we all know that they've
• 6:01
  been in the drama conundrum, whatever you want
• 6:04
  to call it, between Russell Wilson and Aaron
• 6:07
  Rodgers and any other veteran quarterback. For
• 6:10
  them to have two veteran quarterbacks already
• 6:13
  on their team, I don't know how is this really
• 6:15
  going to work. Not to mention, does this alter
• 6:18
  their draft plans? Because let's be real here,
• 6:21
  folks. Between the Browns, the Giants, and the
• 6:25
  Titans, somebody is going to get two of those
• 6:28
  quarterbacks. Somebody is going to have Cam Ward
• 6:31
  and Shador Sanders as their next quarterbacks
• 6:33
  for this upcoming season. Now, do I think it's
• 6:36
  going to be the Giants? No. Does this lower the
• 6:39
  priority for quarterback? No, because I still
• 6:42
  believe that they will draft a quarterback. I
• 6:44
  just believe that they'll either do it in the
• 6:47
  second or third round because not a lot of these
• 6:50
  quarterbacks are going to be taken pretty high.
• 6:52
  I think if they get someone like a Jalen Milrow
• 6:55
  or a Quinn Ewers or Riley Leonard or the quarterback
• 7:01
  from Ohio State, if they get any of those guys,
• 7:04
  I think it would still be. Pretty good because
• 7:06
  they can sit and they can learn from a Russell
• 7:09
  Wilson, from a Jameis Winston. Because right
• 7:11
  now the Giants are in a situation where they
• 7:14
  have to start winning more games. If they don't
• 7:17
  start winning games, Joe Shane and Brian Dable
• 7:20
  will be fired. John Mira has already let that
• 7:24
  be known. He's tired of being patient and he's
• 7:27
  tired of waiting for things to turn around, which
• 7:29
  I don't blame him for. But if we're being real
• 7:32
  here and if we're being really transparent here,
• 7:35
  A lot of this falls on Joe Shane's shoulders.
• 7:38
  And the reason why I say that is because his
• 7:41
  mishandling of the Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley
• 7:44
  situation. Here you are fighting tooth and nail
• 7:48
  with Daniel Jones to hash out a deal, but you
• 7:51
  didn't want to do the same thing for Saquon Barkley.
• 7:54
  And everyone told you that, hey. Maybe we should
• 7:58
  try to prioritize going after Saquon Barkley.
• 8:01
  And you didn't want to do that because your foundation
• 8:04
  was who's going to pay a running back $12 million
• 8:06
  a year. The Eagles didn't. And guess what? They
• 8:09
  got a Super Bowl for it. Meanwhile, you are trying
• 8:13
  to find somebody that can fill the void that
• 8:15
  Saquon Barkley had. not to mention you got off
• 8:19
  of Daniel Jones as well. Now, granted, I understand
• 8:22
  that Daniel Jones really has been playing the
• 8:24
  best, and that's for various different reasons,
• 8:26
  but the fact of the matter is you mishandled
• 8:29
  those situations so badly that if it was me personally,
• 8:33
  you would have been fired because why in the
• 8:36
  world would you let someone in a Saquon Barkley,
• 8:39
  as great as he is, just walk out of your door?
• 8:43
  You don't even fight for him. You don't even
• 8:45
  try to have negotiations with him. You just said,
• 8:48
  you know what? We'll let you test the market.
• 8:50
  Let us know what the market is telling you, and
• 8:53
  then we'll figure out if we can match the number
• 8:55
  or not. That was the dumbest thing that you could
• 8:58
  have ever did and said, because you just allowed
• 9:01
  him to dictate his future. And that's exactly
• 9:05
  what he did. Even if you would have traded him
• 9:08
  and you would have gotten at least a second or
• 9:09
  third round pick, at least you dictated where
• 9:12
  he wanted to go. And at least you got something
• 9:13
  back. You didn't get anything back from Saquon
• 9:16
  Barkley, but just you becoming a meme for all
• 9:20
  of Giants Nation. Because guess what? For the
• 9:24
  rest of Saquon Barkley's career, everyone is
• 9:27
  going to replay that clip of you sitting in your
• 9:30
  office. And John Mayer telling you, I'm going
• 9:33
  to have a tough time sleeping at night knowing
• 9:35
  that Saquon Barkley goes to the Eagles, as well
• 9:38
  as the other clips of the people on your staff
• 9:41
  who are basically saying, listen, we need to
• 9:44
  prioritize Saquon Barkley. Saquon Barkley plays
• 9:46
  a very pivotal role in this offense. And you
• 9:49
  just laughed and you smiled. So now you have
• 9:54
  to figure out exactly how you're going to turn
• 9:56
  this ship around. And signing Javon Holland.
• 9:59
  It was not the ideal situation, but we'll get
• 10:02
  into the grades when it comes to that. But all
• 10:05
  in all, Russell Wilson gets another chance to
• 10:08
  possibly be a starter, even though he's already
• 10:09
  let it be known that he will be the starter.
• 10:12
  So I don't know how that's going to work, but
• 10:15
  I can already see where this is about to go.
• 10:18
  Giants, you have a lot to deal with this offseason.
• 10:21
  Now on to Christian Benford. So he inks a four
• 10:24
  -year $76 million deal, $19 million a year. When
• 10:27
  we look at his stats, 63 tackles, one sack, and
• 10:31
  he was targeted against 60 times and only allowed
• 10:34
  36 receptions for 320 yards, four touchdowns,
• 10:38
  and had two picks. Christian Bedford is somebody
• 10:42
  who goes up against number one receivers as well
• 10:45
  as number two receivers. I have seen him go up
• 10:48
  against Marvin Harrison Jr. I've seen him go
• 10:51
  up against Jalen Waddle. He can hold his own.
• 10:53
  He's not somebody that... That gets a whole lot
• 10:57
  of media attention, but he probably should just
• 10:59
  because of how good he plays. You're talking
• 11:02
  about somebody that can hold his own, that can
• 11:05
  make the tackle, that can make the deflection,
• 11:08
  that can get the pick. He is that type of corner.
• 11:12
  Now, the thing is this. This raises the stock
• 11:15
  more for people like Isaiah McDuffie and Tyreek
• 11:20
  Woolen and anybody else that are going to be
• 11:22
  looking for deals after this season. because
• 11:26
  J .C. Horn got paid, and then Christian Bedford
• 11:30
  got paid. I know there was probably like one
• 11:31
  more corner. What's his name? What's his name?
• 11:34
  What's his name? Derek Stingley. So the price
• 11:38
  continues to go up for corner. So if you are
• 11:41
  a corner that's about to be a free agent, you're
• 11:43
  probably happy. Oh, and Byron Murphy as well.
• 11:46
  So it's been a pretty good offseason for corner.
• 11:49
  So, I mean, it's a good time to celebrate, but
• 11:53
  at the same time, This raises the expectation
• 11:56
  level for everybody because everybody wants to
• 11:59
  get paid, including a sauce, Tyreek Woolen. I
• 12:03
  think Joey Porter Jr. is going to have to get
• 12:05
  paid soon. There's a lot of good corners that
• 12:08
  are going to have to be getting paid soon, and
• 12:09
  the number keeps on rising. So if you're a GM,
• 12:14
  you might have a tough night, but it's going
• 12:16
  to be all right. Let's get into the, actually,
• 12:19
  you know what? Let's wait. Let's wait for the
• 12:21
  free agency grades because that's going to take
• 12:23
  a while. Let's get into the Aaron Rodgers saga.
• 12:25
  So, so far, here's what's happened with Aaron
• 12:28
  Rodgers. He unexpectedly decided to come to Pittsburgh,
• 12:33
  and in doing so, he calls the Steelers to cancel
• 12:36
  their meeting with the Michigan Pro Day, all
• 12:40
  right? And in doing so, he spent about six hours
• 12:43
  at the facility meeting with Mike Tomlin, Omar
• 12:46
  Khan, Aruni II, various coaches and whatnot,
• 12:51
  maybe a few players. He met with everybody, okay?
• 12:54
  He sat down with Arthur Smith, looked at some
• 12:56
  footage, basically had a brainstorming session
• 12:59
  between Arthur Smith and himself just to figure
• 13:03
  out exactly how things would work if Aaron Rodgers
• 13:06
  decided to sign with the Steelers. And so he
• 13:09
  left Pittsburgh without a deal. Well, agreeing
• 13:12
  to a deal specifically. And here we are once
• 13:15
  again. And so at this point. And I'm not saying
• 13:19
  this as a Steelers fan, but I'm just saying this
• 13:21
  as somebody that just wants to be transparent.
• 13:24
  I'm getting very tired of this story. I'm getting
• 13:27
  very tired of hearing about this story. I'm getting
• 13:29
  very tired of people speculating various things
• 13:33
  when they don't have any credible information.
• 13:36
  This morning, before I even recorded this episode,
• 13:39
  Mike Garofalo, he talked about on the NFL Network
• 13:42
  that, you know, DK Metcalf and Aaron Rodgers
• 13:45
  had a throwing session this past weekend at UCLA.
• 13:49
  And so to some people, they're like, oh, my God,
• 13:52
  they're doing something to do something. But
• 13:53
  it's like no real movement has really been made.
• 13:57
  And if I'm Aaron Rodgers, I probably am taking
• 14:01
  my time because do I really want to go to the
• 14:03
  Steelers? with all the problems that they have,
• 14:06
  you don't have a really good offensive line,
• 14:08
  and you're going to be playing in the cold. You're
• 14:10
  not going to be in the dome. There is not one
• 14:13
  stadium in the AFC North that has a dome. Nobody
• 14:16
  does. Cleveland always gets cold first, and Pittsburgh.
• 14:21
  Baltimore is probably the last team that actually
• 14:23
  gets really cold, all right? Do you really want
• 14:25
  to take that on? No. You're almost 42 years old.
• 14:29
  You don't want to take that type of punishment.
• 14:32
  Come on, man. Really? Really think about this.
• 14:34
  Really think about this. But if you're the Steelers,
• 14:37
  why do you want to continue to wait for somebody
• 14:39
  to make their decision? As Adam Schefter has
• 14:42
  said, either you want to play or you don't. It's
• 14:47
  a simple decision. Either you want to put on
• 14:49
  your shoulder pads and you want to practice in
• 14:51
  the summer and get everything together or you
• 14:53
  don't. That's just what it is at this point.
• 14:56
  Stop lilygagging and stop trying to beat around
• 14:58
  the bush. Either you sign the contract or you
• 15:01
  don't. Because right now, you are holding a team
• 15:05
  hostage with your actions. Now, me personally,
• 15:09
  I do not want Aaron Rodgers on the Steelers simply
• 15:12
  because I understand the baggage that comes with
• 15:16
  Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is not the type
• 15:19
  of quarterback who is going to rally around everybody,
• 15:23
  who's going to get everybody together, who's
• 15:25
  going to take the extra mile when it comes to
• 15:29
  really understanding his teammates. He is somebody
• 15:32
  that moves at the beat of his own drum, who does
• 15:35
  whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however
• 15:38
  he wants. That's who Aaron Rodgers is. We literally
• 15:42
  saw somebody who systematically destroyed a locker
• 15:48
  room within the Jets with his words. Not his
• 15:52
  actions, but with his words. We literally saw
• 15:56
  this man throw Mike Williams under the bus on
• 16:00
  the Pat McAfee show. We saw that. We saw somebody
• 16:03
  who continued to point the finger at everybody
• 16:08
  else except for himself. We looked at somebody
• 16:12
  who literally was supposed to be the beacon,
• 16:18
  the shining light for the Jets, a person that
• 16:21
  the younger players could look up to, and he
• 16:24
  failed to meet those expectations. Do you really
• 16:27
  want that in your locker room, Steelers fans?
• 16:31
  I don't think so. We've had maybe four to five
• 16:36
  years straight of just constant drama and just
• 16:41
  a whole bunch of just talking into the offseason.
• 16:45
  When can we just have just one quiet offseason?
• 16:49
  When? We all know that the minute that Aaron
• 16:53
  Rodgers touched down in Latrobe, every camera,
• 16:57
  every reporter, every... Channel whatever you
• 17:01
  want. It's going to be there covering every single
• 17:04
  little thing that Aaron Rodgers does. And I just
• 17:07
  don't want that personally. Because when it gets
• 17:10
  ugly, Aaron Rodgers is going to start name dropping
• 17:14
  and he's going to start pointing fingers. And
• 17:16
  I don't think nobody can handle that. We don't
• 17:19
  have a structure within the offense that can
• 17:23
  balance everything out. Because you're going
• 17:26
  to have to deal with the personalities. of DK
• 17:29
  Metcalf, George Pickens, and Aaron Rodgers. Now
• 17:34
  DK Metcalf, you probably don't have to worry
• 17:37
  about as much because it's more on field than
• 17:40
  off field. Whereas George Pickens, it's a little
• 17:44
  bit of both. It's the same thing with Aaron Rodgers
• 17:47
  as well. I was one of the people last year who
• 17:50
  was very critical of Aaron Rodgers' actions when
• 17:54
  he decided to go on a vacation, I think, in Egypt
• 17:58
  or wherever it was, instead of staying for OTAs.
• 18:02
  And my stance was, and I will continue to stand
• 18:05
  on it, was you should have stayed there so you
• 18:07
  could develop more chemistry with your players.
• 18:10
  Because had you did that, I think you probably
• 18:12
  would have seen a better outcome with the entire
• 18:15
  season. But instead... What did you want to do?
• 18:18
  You decided that you want to go on a quote -unquote
• 18:21
  pre -planned vacation. Unacceptable for somebody
• 18:25
  like an Aaron Rodgers. We're talking about somebody
• 18:28
  who is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer,
• 18:31
  somebody that's going to go down in history as
• 18:33
  one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time,
• 18:36
  as one of the greatest throwers of all time.
• 18:39
  And you are not living up to those standards.
• 18:42
  Now, me personally, I would rather want Aaron
• 18:46
  Rodgers to go, to either the Vikings or the 49ers.
• 18:51
  And the reason why I say that is because offensively,
• 18:55
  they have a structure to be able to support someone
• 18:58
  like an Aaron Rodgers compared to the Steelers.
• 19:01
  Not to mention the Vikings specifically, they
• 19:05
  have made the moves that they made this offseason
• 19:08
  for a veteran quarterback. Not to mention, there
• 19:13
  was a report that came out, I think, by Jordan
• 19:15
  Schultz a few weeks ago that said that Ryan Tannehill
• 19:19
  has been in discussions with the Vikings. That
• 19:23
  lets you know that the Vikings are thinking about
• 19:26
  adding a veteran quarterback. Now, me personally,
• 19:29
  I think the reason why they've been teetering
• 19:32
  the line so fairly is because they don't want
• 19:36
  to ruin whatever confidence that J .J. McCarthy
• 19:40
  has. They want him to be able to grow and to
• 19:43
  develop and whatnot. But at the same time, you
• 19:47
  have to realize that this is probably your best
• 19:50
  window of winning. Because think about this.
• 19:53
  You have probably a top five, maybe top 10 defense.
• 19:58
  You have Justin Jefferson, Jordan Adison, TJ
• 20:01
  Hawkinson. What's the running back's name? Aaron
• 20:04
  Jones. You have a really good offense. All you
• 20:08
  need to do is just thread the needle, which is
• 20:10
  what? Win. And who better to really win than
• 20:15
  Aaron Rodgers? We're talking about somebody that
• 20:17
  used to dominate the division. So I say all that
• 20:21
  to say this. Either Aaron Rodgers is waiting
• 20:24
  for a better opportunity or he just wants to
• 20:28
  retire. It's one of the two. I think he's trying
• 20:31
  to weigh things out. But at the same time, time
• 20:35
  is ticking. We are less than a month away from
• 20:38
  the draft. And the longer that this draws out,
• 20:41
  the worse it's going to look like for the Steelers
• 20:43
  because this will be the second year in a row
• 20:46
  where the Steelers have waited all the way to
• 20:48
  the end for somebody just for them not to get
• 20:52
  the reward. Really think about that. And there's
• 20:56
  another theory that I also have as well that
• 20:58
  I definitely want to share. I was going to save
• 21:00
  it. I was. I was going to save it for... for
• 21:05
  the divisional rodeo for the AFC North. But I
• 21:07
  think because of this situation, I think I could
• 21:10
  probably shed a little bit of light. And this
• 21:12
  is my theory. I think a lot of players now use
• 21:16
  the Steelers as leverage in order to go into
• 21:19
  a better opportunity. Now hear me out. Walk with
• 21:22
  me, all right? We saw with Brandon Iyuk. Brandon
• 21:25
  Iyuk was very disgruntled with the 49ers. He
• 21:27
  wanted more money. Guess what he did? He put
• 21:29
  out a list of the teams that he wanted to go
• 21:32
  to. The Steelers was on that list. The Steelers
• 21:36
  was the last team to fight tooth and nail all
• 21:40
  the way to the last minute for Brandon Iyuk.
• 21:44
  And guess what happened? Brandon Iyuk had a come
• 21:46
  to Jesus moment and he signed the contract and
• 21:48
  he stayed with the 49ers. Deebo Samuel, when
• 21:52
  word was coming out that Deebo Samuel was going
• 21:54
  to get traded, guess what happened? The Steelers
• 21:56
  was the first team that everyone said was going
• 21:59
  to pick up the phone and call for Deebo Samuel.
• 22:02
  And then there were even reports that were coming
• 22:04
  out and saying that Debo wanted to go to the
• 22:06
  Steelers. Guess what happened? He went to Washington,
• 22:10
  as I definitely predicted. Same thing with Aaron
• 22:13
  Rodgers. I don't think Aaron Rodgers really wants
• 22:16
  to go to the Steelers. I think Aaron Rodgers
• 22:19
  is entertaining the idea, but I think his heart
• 22:23
  really wants to go to the Vikings or to the 49ers.
• 22:28
  The 49ers, you're in a warmer climate, you really
• 22:31
  don't have to play a bunch of cold games, and
• 22:33
  you can be really dominant in your division.
• 22:35
  The Vikings, you're in a dome stadium. At best,
• 22:39
  you're only going to have to play two outdoor
• 22:41
  games. And that's with who? The Packers and the
• 22:43
  Bears. That's it. So I say all that to say this.
• 22:49
  Although I would love for this situation to be
• 22:51
  resolved now, I don't think it's going to be
• 22:55
  resolved for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised
• 22:57
  if this doesn't get resolved until maybe after
• 23:01
  the draft, maybe. That's just how slow Aaron
• 23:07
  Rodgers is dragging his feet with this situation.
• 23:09
  But when the news breaks, I'll be sure to let
• 23:12
  you guys know. I'll share my thoughts and all
• 23:15
  of that and more, okay? So let's get into these
• 23:17
  free agency grades, okay? Because the first wave
• 23:21
  of free agency is done. All right? It's always
• 23:24
  the first wave that's like somewhat of the biggest
• 23:27
  wave out of all of them. And then you have that
• 23:29
  second to third wave that happens post -draft
• 23:32
  where a lot of veteran players are just trying
• 23:35
  to see what opportunities are available for them.
• 23:37
  So let's just get into it. So let's start with
• 23:40
  the NFC North. All right? So with the Vikings.
• 23:44
  Actually, no. Lions. I have to start with them.
• 23:47
  So with Lions, I gave them a B. All right? Their
• 23:50
  positions of need. DB, Edge, Interior Offensive
• 23:53
  Line, Defensive Line. So they acquired DJ Reed,
• 23:57
  Roy Lopez, Grant Stroud, Avante Maddox, Kenny
• 24:01
  Yoba, Kyle Allen, Rakia Sin, just to name a few,
• 24:04
  all right? The people that left were Carlton
• 24:07
  Davis, Kevin Zeidler, Afitu Malafanu, Kendall
• 24:10
  Vildor, and Jonah Williams, just to name a few.
• 24:13
  So for me personally, I would say a B. And the
• 24:16
  reason why I say that is because the Lions are
• 24:20
  in a situation where they don't have to be super
• 24:22
  aggressive in free agency. Because their team,
• 24:25
  for the majority, is already assembled. They
• 24:28
  just have to fill in certain points on their
• 24:30
  team. And we all knew that the Lions were going
• 24:34
  to make some type of investment at corner to
• 24:37
  help with Terryon Arnold. And so getting DJ Reed
• 24:41
  was actually a pretty good deal. I think... You're
• 24:45
  dealing with somebody that can definitely be
• 24:47
  cornerback one or cornerback two. And so all
• 24:52
  in all, I think that was a really good signing.
• 24:54
  Now, everything else after that, it's more deaf
• 24:58
  pieces, you know, second or third tier type of
• 25:01
  players. Nothing really, you know, impactful,
• 25:05
  if that makes sense. So all in all, I would give
• 25:09
  them a B. For right now, I think their biggest
• 25:11
  move was DJ Reed. Everybody else was very smaller
• 25:15
  type of deals and whatnot. And when we look at
• 25:18
  the Vikings, on the other hand, I gave them an
• 25:20
  A. And the reason why is gonna be discussed shortly.
• 25:24
  So they acquired Will Fries, Jonathan Allen,
• 25:27
  Javon Hargrave, Ryan Kelly, Isaiah Rogers, Eric
• 25:30
  Wilson, Jeff Okuda, Taveri Thomas, Justin School,
• 25:34
  Tim Jones, and Rondell Moore, just to name a
• 25:36
  few, okay? Now, the people that left, Sam Darnold,
• 25:40
  Cameron Bynum, Daniel Jones, Cam Robinson, Patrick
• 25:43
  Jones, Garrett Bradbury, Trent Shurfield, Johnny
• 25:47
  Munt, Nick Mullins, and Jerry Tillery, just to
• 25:50
  name a few. So the reason why I gave them an
• 25:52
  A was because, for one, they addressed interior
• 25:55
  offensive line very well, as well as defensive
• 25:58
  line. Not to mention, they also added some really
• 26:02
  good depth pieces when it comes to corner as
• 26:04
  well. Because again, their positions of need
• 26:07
  is corner, interior linebacker, interior linebacker,
• 26:11
  inside linebacker, excuse me, safety, running
• 26:13
  back, defensive line, interior offensive line,
• 26:16
  and tight end. The only position that... I don't
• 26:20
  think they really addressed was tight end. And
• 26:22
  me personally, I feel like they'll definitely
• 26:24
  address that in the draft because I feel like
• 26:25
  the tight end draft class this year is actually
• 26:27
  really good. So I don't blame them for that.
• 26:31
  Now, defensive line, you got Javon Hargrave and
• 26:34
  Jonathan Allen. That is an instant upgrade. I
• 26:37
  don't care what anyone says. That is a better
• 26:39
  upgrade right now. So now your defensive line
• 26:42
  is going to be, what's his name? Dallas Turner,
• 26:46
  Javon Hargrave, Jonathan Allen. I forget who
• 26:48
  the other pass rusher is. That's really good.
• 26:50
  That's really, really, really good. Not to mention,
• 26:53
  you show up the interior offensive line as well
• 26:57
  with Will Fries and Ryan Kelly as well. So all
• 27:01
  in all, those are really good signings. And not
• 27:03
  to mention, you didn't break the bank for any
• 27:06
  of those deals. So that's even better. You bring
• 27:10
  in someone like Isaiah Rodgers who actually played
• 27:12
  really well with the Eagles. Jeff Okuda, he's
• 27:16
  still trying to find his way. I think coming
• 27:18
  to the Vikings, I think they could probably mold
• 27:21
  him into the first round corner that he was supposed
• 27:24
  to be a few years ago. Now, when we look at the
• 27:27
  Packers, though, I want to say a B +, but I'm
• 27:31
  a little bit on the edge about it. And the reason
• 27:34
  why I say that is because of who they acquired
• 27:37
  and whatnot. So right now, all they acquired
• 27:40
  was just Nate Hobbs, Aaron Banks, McCole Hartman.
• 27:43
  Who left was to Daryl Slayton, Eric Stokes, Eric
• 27:47
  Wilson, Josh Myers, Ballantyne, A .J. Dillon,
• 27:50
  and Robert Rochelle, just to name a few. So the
• 27:52
  reason why I say all of this is because for positions
• 27:57
  of need, sure, corner was on there, but you got
• 27:59
  a slot corner, which I feel like you may have
• 28:01
  overpaid just a little bit. Interior offensive
• 28:04
  line, Aaron Banks, I feel like you overpaid for
• 28:07
  that as well. Wide receiver, you got McCole Hartman,
• 28:10
  who... is maybe what wide receiver three at this
• 28:14
  point may be good when it comes to special teams
• 28:17
  and whatnot but that's probably about it edge
• 28:20
  you really didn't you didn't really address it
• 28:22
  and that could be because you're saving that
• 28:24
  for the draft or something else but i just really
• 28:28
  didn't like their signings i just feel like they
• 28:30
  probably added a little more a little bit more
• 28:33
  money to just secure those deals but i could
• 28:35
  definitely be wrong uh the bears a plus and the
• 28:40
  reason why We're going to be talking about that
• 28:42
  right now, actually. So they acquired Dale Odeon.
• 28:49
  I know I'm butchering your name, so I'm just
• 28:52
  going to say Dale. Dale O. I'm not trying to
• 28:55
  butcher your last name, dog. I'm really not.
• 28:57
  Grady Jarrett, Drew Dolman, Durham Smythe, Olamide,
• 29:02
  Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay, Nick McCloud. I forgot
• 29:05
  Joe Thune as well. And Grady Jarrett. I know
• 29:09
  I just said grade Jared again. I'm just so excited,
• 29:12
  guys. You guys don't understand how much time
• 29:15
  I put into this one episode when it comes to
• 29:18
  this grades because on one hand, I don't want
• 29:21
  to be super negative, but at the same time, I
• 29:25
  want to be able to really break down why I gave
• 29:28
  the grades for each and every one of these teams.
• 29:30
  Now, we will look at the players that left, okay?
• 29:33
  Coleman Shelton, Daryl Taylor, Tevin Jenkins,
• 29:36
  Jake Martin, Larry Bullrum, Jack Sanborn, Brian
• 29:40
  Kowar, Darrington Evans, Jalen Jones, DeAndre
• 29:43
  Carter, Matt Pryor, just to name a few. So me
• 29:46
  personally, all right, they addressed defensive
• 29:49
  line with Grady Jarrett. You addressed interior
• 29:53
  offensive line with Joe Tooney and Drew Dolman.
• 29:56
  All right, that was actually really good. Wide
• 29:58
  receiver, you get someone in Zaccheaus, who was
• 30:01
  actually really productive last season. And you
• 30:04
  also get Devin Duvernay as well, who's also good
• 30:07
  when it comes to special teams when he's healthy.
• 30:09
  So all in all, you addressed a lot of your positions
• 30:13
  fairly early. And that was actually really good.
• 30:17
  And you started things off with a defensive line,
• 30:20
  which to me, I just feel like that's just instant
• 30:22
  20 points, 20 bonus points, honestly. But the
• 30:26
  way that they did it was such a masterclass because
• 30:30
  you bring in Drew Dallman, you get Joe Thune,
• 30:34
  you shore up the offensive line as well as the
• 30:37
  defensive line as well. Because now on the defensive
• 30:39
  line, you're going to have Grady Jarrett, you're
• 30:42
  going to have Montez Sweat. I forgot who the
• 30:44
  other defensive lineman was. I know there was
• 30:46
  somebody else. I'm missing them. I know. I'm
• 30:49
  not trying to butcher. Wait a minute. Do I? I
• 30:51
  don't know. Forget about it. Just know the Bears
• 30:53
  are going to be better this year, okay? They're
• 30:55
  going to be a whole lot better this year. Now,
• 30:58
  when we go to the NFC South, okay? Panthers,
• 31:00
  B+. Now, when we look at the players that they
• 31:03
  acquired, Trevon Moe -Rigg, Tershawn Warren,
• 31:06
  Bobby Brown, not dancer, singer Bobby Brown,
• 31:09
  okay? Not that guy. Patrick Jones, Rico Dow,
• 31:13
  Christian Roseboom, and Sam Martin, just to name
• 31:15
  a few. The people that left, Xavier Woods, Lonnie
• 31:18
  Johnson, Johnny Hecker, Dane Jackson, Miles Sanders,
• 31:21
  Jordan Fuller, Vellis Jones, Felipe Franks, and
• 31:24
  Ian Thomas, okay? They're positions of need.
• 31:27
  Wide receiver, edge, and running back. So, on
• 31:31
  one hand, I wanted to give them an A +, but...
• 31:35
  They mainly attack the defense more than really
• 31:38
  the offense. And I really wanted them to address
• 31:41
  more on the offense just for Bryce Young's development.
• 31:44
  But when we look at the players that they acquired,
• 31:47
  Tremont Mulrigg, really productive player. Tershawn
• 31:50
  Warren, really productive player. Bobby Brown,
• 31:53
  Patrick Jones, really productive player. Patrick
• 31:56
  Jones is a sleeper of an edge rusher. Rico Dow,
• 31:59
  a really productive running back. Like these
• 32:03
  were some really productive signings. And so
• 32:05
  on one hand, yes, they were great. But at the
• 32:10
  same time, I wanted more from the offense only
• 32:13
  because the offense is still lacking, especially
• 32:16
  when it comes to receiver. Sure, you have Xavier
• 32:18
  Leggett, you have Adam Thielen, but you're going
• 32:21
  to need more. You're going to need somebody that
• 32:24
  can be very productive at this point. Maybe even
• 32:28
  tight. Well, you know what tight end they got?
• 32:30
  They got a few people that tight end, but I'll
• 32:32
  just leave it there, all right? Because if I
• 32:35
  don't, I'm just going to go down a wormhole,
• 32:36
  all right? Buccaneers, C+. I know Buccaneers
• 32:40
  fans, don't, please, don't find me, please, all
• 32:43
  right? So the people that they acquired, Hassan
• 32:45
  Reddick, Riley Dixon, Charlie Heck, Anthony Walker,
• 32:48
  and Kendall Vildor, just to name a few. The people
• 32:51
  that left, Robert Hainsey, Joe Tyron, Taveria
• 32:55
  Thomas, Justice School, Royce Newman, and KJ
• 32:59
  Britt. Positions of need, edge, interior offensive
• 33:02
  line, tight end, corner, safety. Hassan Reddick,
• 33:06
  I feel like, was overpaid. And I'm just going
• 33:08
  to be completely honest here, okay? He was definitely
• 33:11
  overpaid simply because... He did not show the
• 33:15
  Hasan Reddick that the Eagles had. He showed
• 33:18
  a version of Hasan Reddick that really wasn't
• 33:22
  involved in the game and really wasn't the playmaker
• 33:25
  and difference maker that he was with the Eagles.
• 33:28
  Granted, I understand that the Buccaneers only
• 33:30
  gave him a one -year deal, but the fact of the
• 33:33
  matter is, Hasan Reddick really hasn't played
• 33:36
  really well since leaving the Eagles. And then
• 33:39
  not to mention, he was holding out for what?
• 33:42
  A majority of the offseason and I think a little
• 33:46
  bit of the regular season as well. Like, no,
• 33:50
  no, no, no, no, no. Very unacceptable at this
• 33:54
  point. So I feel like that was a very bad signing.
• 33:57
  But at the same time, I understand that they
• 34:00
  wanted to address age. But I feel like you could
• 34:04
  have addressed that in the draft personally,
• 34:06
  because you already have Shaq Barrett. If you
• 34:09
  get someone like a James Pierce, if you get someone
• 34:11
  like a Jalen Walker, if you get someone like
• 34:13
  Shamar Stewart, for instance, those are upgrades.
• 34:17
  I don't see that with Hasan Reddick, but I could
• 34:19
  definitely be wrong. Riley Dixon was a really
• 34:22
  good signing. Charlie Heck, really good signing.
• 34:24
  Anthony Walker, really good signing as well.
• 34:27
  All in all, these were really good signings.
• 34:29
  They didn't really address a lot of their needs
• 34:32
  like how I thought they probably should have,
• 34:35
  but maybe they're saving that for the draft or
• 34:37
  whatever the case may be, all right? Saints,
• 34:40
  C plus. And the reason why I say that is because
• 34:43
  for one, you were strapped for cash, so you really
• 34:47
  couldn't make a whole bunch of moves. But at
• 34:49
  the same time, the moves that you did make, they're
• 34:52
  not, what's the word? What's the word? They don't
• 34:57
  move the needle. But it definitely is somewhat
• 35:00
  of an upgrade to what you already have. So they
• 35:03
  acquired Justin Reed, Brandon Cooks, Isaac Yatim,
• 35:07
  Will Clapp, Jack Stoll, Jonah Williams, Vellis
• 35:11
  Jones, and Dylan Ruddance. Hopefully I'm not
• 35:15
  butchering your last name. The people that left,
• 35:17
  Paulson Debo, Marquez Velding -Scantling, Will
• 35:21
  Harris, Peyton Turner, Lucas Patrick, Willie
• 35:24
  Gage, Jamar Jean. Now... Sure, they were able
• 35:28
  to re -sign Chase Young and whatnot, and they
• 35:31
  took care of a few players and whatnot, and Justin
• 35:33
  Reed was probably their big ticket signing, but
• 35:35
  the fact of the matter is that still isn't enough.
• 35:40
  Me personally, I would have thought a lot of
• 35:43
  those free agent Eagles players would have went
• 35:45
  to the Saints and followed Kellen Moore, but
• 35:47
  clearly that's not the case. C plus, I feel like
• 35:51
  that's definitely the best for them. I really
• 35:53
  couldn't give them a B because they really didn't
• 35:55
  address a lot of their other positions like how
• 35:57
  I thought they probably should have. Now, when
• 36:00
  we look at the Falcons, B. I was gonna give them
• 36:03
  a B minus. I wanted to give them a B plus. I
• 36:06
  really didn't know, so I just left it at B, okay?
• 36:09
  So their positions of need, defensive line, wide
• 36:11
  receiver, tight end, center, and safety. So they
• 36:15
  acquired Mike Hughes, Divine Diablo, Leonard
• 36:18
  Floyd, Morgan Fox, Michael Ford, Jordan Fuller,
• 36:20
  and Keith Taylor, just to name a few. The people
• 36:23
  that left, Grady Jarrett, Drew Dallman, Richie
• 36:26
  Grant, Lorenzo Carter, Eddie Goldman, Nathan
• 36:29
  Landman, Avery Williams, and Rondell Moore, just
• 36:31
  to name a few. So here's the thing. So Mike Hughes,
• 36:36
  really good signing. Divine Diablo, really good
• 36:39
  signing. Leonard Floyd was a sleeper of a signing.
• 36:43
  Believe it or not, Leonard Floyd, within the
• 36:45
  last three to four years, has actually been cleaning
• 36:48
  house. He's had, I think, two of the three last
• 36:52
  seasons, he's had double -digit sack seasons.
• 36:55
  So he's been really good. And then you get someone
• 36:59
  like a Morgan Fox, who's also a sleeper of a
• 37:01
  defensive lineman as well. I think that's actually
• 37:03
  really good, too. Mike Hughes, I think that was
• 37:07
  pretty good, too. Pair him up with AJ Terrell
• 37:10
  and whatnot. All in all, they made some significant
• 37:15
  moves, especially to shore up the defense. And
• 37:18
  they definitely addressed pass rusher because
• 37:20
  we all know that pass rusher was definitely a
• 37:23
  problem for them this past season. And so getting
• 37:26
  someone like a Leonard Floyd, I think that definitely
• 37:28
  shores up that spot. Everything else you can
• 37:32
  definitely debate about. But all in all, I think
• 37:36
  the Falcons definitely made some really good
• 37:38
  moves. Do I think they probably should have made
• 37:40
  at least one or two, like, really significant
• 37:42
  moves for the offense? Yes, but maybe they're
• 37:46
  probably going to do that in the draft. So, on
• 37:48
  to the NFC East, okay? The Giants. Yeah. No.
• 37:52
  Eagles. Eagles. Eagles first. E -A -G -L -E -S.
• 37:57
  Eagles. B. So they acquired Aziz Ojolari, Josh
• 38:03
  Uche, Adory Jackson, Kalen Granson, Charlie Huglett,
• 38:07
  A .J. Dillon, Harrison Bryant, Patrick Johnson,
• 38:10
  Kendall Lamb, Matt Pryor, and Avery Williams,
• 38:12
  just to name a few. The people that left, Milton
• 38:15
  Williams, Josh Sweat, Darius Slay, Isaiah Rogers,
• 38:18
  Oren Burks, Kenneth Gainwell, and Avante Max,
• 38:21
  just to name a few. Their positions of need,
• 38:23
  tight end, corner, defensive line, and linebacker.
• 38:26
  So Aziz Ojolari. Really productive pass rusher
• 38:30
  who he just has to stay healthy at this point.
• 38:33
  Josh Uche, very productive pass rusher as well.
• 38:37
  He was productive with the Patriots and then
• 38:40
  also with the Chiefs as well. Adory Jackson,
• 38:43
  he's been okay. I definitely feel like he probably
• 38:46
  could have been a little bit better, but I think
• 38:49
  last season he really didn't have a lot of suitors
• 38:51
  for him, so that's probably why he went back
• 38:53
  to the Giants. So I think that's a pretty good
• 38:56
  cornerback three type of move. Everything else
• 38:59
  is very debatable. But at the same time, the
• 39:03
  Eagles really didn't need a whole lot of stuff.
• 39:06
  So they're in a really good spot, believe it
• 39:09
  or not. And I wouldn't be surprised if they probably
• 39:12
  made one or two significant moves in the draft
• 39:14
  just so they can probably go and get their guy
• 39:17
  and then just trade down from everything else.
• 39:20
  Because again, the Eagles are still in their
• 39:22
  Super Bowl window. And their selling point is
• 39:25
  this. Come to us. We're still in our Super Bowl
• 39:28
  window. You have a chance of competing and winning.
• 39:33
  That's it. And that's for any Super Bowl team.
• 39:37
  Most players will be willing to take less just
• 39:39
  to be on the team. So the Eagles are not done.
• 39:42
  Trust me. Now we will look at the Giants, okay?
• 39:45
  Positions of need. Quarterback, receiver, corner,
• 39:48
  interior offensive line, interior defensive line.
• 39:50
  So they acquired Paulson Adebo, Javon Holland,
• 39:53
  Chauncey Golston, James Huston, Russell Wilson,
• 39:55
  Roy, Robertson Harris, James Winston, Chris Board,
• 39:59
  Jeremiah Ledbetter, Demetrius Flanagan Flowers,
• 40:03
  Zach Pascal, Jordan Humphrey, and then... The
• 40:06
  people that left were Aziz Ojolari, Payson Panak,
• 40:10
  Adory Jackson, Patrick Johnson, Tim Boyle, just
• 40:12
  to name a few. So for them, I gave them a B.
• 40:15
  Because on one hand, yes, they did address a
• 40:18
  corner with Paulson and Debo. Safety, I feel
• 40:21
  like they could have addressed in the draft,
• 40:23
  personally. I feel like going after Javon Holland
• 40:26
  and giving him the money that he got was a little
• 40:29
  bit excessive. I feel like they could have used
• 40:31
  that to get an offensive weapon for whatever
• 40:33
  quarterback was going to be playing for them.
• 40:37
  But what's done is done at this point. Everybody
• 40:40
  else, I feel like they're really good number
• 40:42
  two and maybe number three pieces on the team.
• 40:46
  But all in all, I feel like it was... pretty
• 40:49
  much of a solid first wave of free agent signings
• 40:54
  for the Giants. I think this actually shows that
• 40:57
  they're actually willing to be a little bit more
• 40:58
  aggressive and try to bolster up that defense
• 41:00
  even more because the defense is actually really
• 41:03
  good. I mean, they have Dexter Lawrence. You
• 41:05
  have Kayvon Thibodeau. You have Brian Burns.
• 41:07
  You now have Paulson Adibo. You have Javon Holland
• 41:10
  now. You have some pretty good pieces. Now, Dante
• 41:13
  Banks, I feel like he's definitely going to get
• 41:15
  traded just because... I think he's falling out
• 41:18
  of the good graces, but that's another story
• 41:20
  for another day. Commanders, B plus, okay? So
• 41:24
  the positions of need, DB, defensive end, wide
• 41:27
  receiver, tight end, D tackle, all right? So
• 41:30
  they acquired Remy Tunsil, Javon Kinlaw, Marcus
• 41:33
  Mariota, Will Harris, Jonathan Jones, Jake Martin,
• 41:38
  Nate Herbig, Eddie Goldman, Foster Sorrell, and
• 41:42
  then the people that left, okay? Jonathan Allen,
• 41:45
  Dayami Brown, Jeremy Chin, Dante Fowler, Cornelius
• 41:48
  Lucas, Benjamin St. Juice, Michael Walker, Alamed
• 41:52
  Zaccheaus, and Derek Forrest. So... On one hand,
• 41:58
  they actually did make some pretty good moves,
• 42:00
  okay? Larimi Tunsil, I feel like that was a major
• 42:02
  upgrade at tackle. Javon Killlaw, I feel like
• 42:06
  that was a little bit of a reach. I feel like
• 42:10
  if you're going to go after a quality edge rusher,
• 42:13
  go after somebody that can actually shed blocks
• 42:15
  and is actually pretty good at shedding blocks,
• 42:17
  okay? Just don't go after just the guy that's
• 42:20
  just available, personally. That's just all I'm
• 42:23
  saying, okay? Marcus Mariota, that was actually
• 42:25
  really good. Let's see, let's see, let's see,
• 42:27
  let's see, because I'm going around. Jonathan
• 42:29
  Jones, I really didn't like, only because he's
• 42:33
  at the tail end of his career. You know, I just
• 42:36
  don't feel like you make that type of signing
• 42:39
  for someone like him. And then plus, I would
• 42:40
  have just drafted. Even if it means that you
• 42:44
  have to double dip at corner, that's perfectly
• 42:47
  fine. And then even with safety, I would have
• 42:50
  thought that they would have tried to get...
• 42:52
  Jeremy Chin back, but clearly that wasn't the
• 42:54
  case. Or I would have thought they would have
• 42:56
  tried to get, you know, Cam Bynum or Trevon Mohrig
• 42:59
  or any of those safeties that were available
• 43:02
  in free agency, but clearly they didn't. Defensive
• 43:05
  line, I feel like they probably could have done
• 43:07
  more with that. But again, that might be a position
• 43:10
  where they address in the draft as well. Now,
• 43:12
  when we look at the Cowboys, see, and the reason
• 43:16
  why I say that is because for one, they really.
• 43:20
  They really can't make a whole lot of moves because
• 43:22
  they're strapped for cash. And then two, the
• 43:25
  moves that they did make, they are more. death
• 43:28
  pieces and number two pieces than like, you know,
• 43:32
  starter caliber pieces. Okay. And I'm going to
• 43:35
  explain why. So positions of need, defensive
• 43:38
  tackle, wide receiver, running back, offensive
• 43:40
  line. Okay. So they acquired Solomon Thomas,
• 43:43
  Dante Fowler Jr., Robert Jones, Javante Williams,
• 43:46
  Peyton Turner, Jack Sanborn. The people that
• 43:49
  left, Demarcus Lawrence, Jordan Lewis, Brandon
• 43:51
  Cooks, Chauncey Golston, Chuma Adoga, Cooper
• 43:55
  Rush, and Rico Dow. Solomon Thomas, not really
• 43:59
  high on, personally. I feel like he's a pretty
• 44:03
  good defensive lineman, but he's not like a number
• 44:08
  one or a number two. I feel like he's probably
• 44:09
  like a number three at best. Dante Fowler, the
• 44:12
  season that he just had, I would have thought
• 44:14
  he would have either stayed with the Commanders
• 44:16
  or would have went somewhere else and actually
• 44:18
  chased the bag low -key, but he didn't. He went
• 44:21
  back to the Cowboys. Why? I don't know. Robert
• 44:24
  Jones. A little bit on the fence about Javante
• 44:27
  Williams. I feel like there is some potential
• 44:29
  with that. I feel like ever since the injury
• 44:32
  that he suffered with the Broncos, I think he's
• 44:35
  still trying to find his footing and finding
• 44:37
  his way back into the other side of the league
• 44:41
  and whatnot because his rookie year, he came
• 44:44
  out guns blazing. Payton Turner, same thing,
• 44:49
  a little bit on the fence about. Same thing with
• 44:51
  Jack Sanborn as well. All in all, the Cowboys,
• 44:55
  I feel like they're trying to find a way to pay
• 44:58
  Micah Parsons. And so I think they've shifted
• 45:01
  a lot of their priority on trying to figure out
• 45:04
  a way to handle the Micah situation. But at the
• 45:07
  same time, you want to try to at least make at
• 45:11
  least two big -ish type of moves when it comes
• 45:14
  to free agency. Because you do have a lot of
• 45:16
  holes on your team that do need to be taken care
• 45:19
  of. And the players that you sign right now,
• 45:22
  they really don't do a whole lot of that. Now
• 45:24
  on to the NFC West, okay? So 49ers, I gave them
• 45:27
  a B. Positions of need, offensive line, defensive
• 45:30
  line, cornerback, linebacker, wide receiver,
• 45:33
  running back, okay? So they acquired Luke Farrell,
• 45:35
  Mack Jones, Demarcus Robertson, Sirian Neal,
• 45:38
  Jason Pinnock, Luke Gifford, Trey Brown, Richie
• 45:41
  Grant, John Weeks. The people that left, Aaron
• 45:44
  Baines, Tarverius Ward, Javon Hargrave, Jalen
• 45:46
  Moore, Talanua Hofunga, Dre Greenlaw, Leonard
• 45:49
  Floyd, Malik Collins, Josh Dobbs, Isaac Yedem,
• 45:53
  Elijah Mitchell, Charlie Heck, Brandon Allen,
• 45:55
  Demetrius Flanagan Flowers, Rakia Sin, Nick McCloud,
• 45:58
  and Eric Serbet. Here's the thing. So Luke Farrell,
• 46:03
  I feel like there was no need for you to sign
• 46:07
  him personally, especially with how good the
• 46:09
  tight end class is. Even if you didn't get a
• 46:12
  tight end in the first round, there's still going
• 46:15
  to be some really good options in the day two
• 46:17
  and day three slot for tight end. I think if
• 46:19
  you would have got Harold Fannin Jr. or you would
• 46:21
  have gotten the tight end from Miami. I know
• 46:24
  I keep on messing up his name, but I don't know
• 46:27
  why. Every time I think about him, I draw a blank.
• 46:31
  I don't know why. But you have Colston Lovell.
• 46:33
  You have options at tight end. Now, corner, I
• 46:37
  would have thought they probably would have tried
• 46:38
  to really try to... go after DJ Reed or, well,
• 46:43
  not Charverius Ward, but Carlton Davis or somebody
• 46:47
  else. Wide receiver, I'm a little bit on the
• 46:52
  fence about because on one hand, I feel like
• 46:55
  you could address that in the draft, but at the
• 46:57
  same time, what other receivers could you really
• 47:00
  get in free agency that wasn't going to cost
• 47:02
  you a whole bunch of money? Linebacker, I don't
• 47:06
  know what to say about that personally. Running
• 47:08
  back, I really don't know. Like, honestly, a
• 47:12
  lot of their positions of need, I feel like they
• 47:15
  could definitely address them in the draft. I
• 47:19
  don't feel like they should invest a whole bunch
• 47:21
  of money into, you know, in free agency. And
• 47:24
  it definitely shows. But, you know, the 49ers
• 47:27
  will be the 49ers, I guess. Cardinals, I gave
• 47:30
  them a B+. Now, when we look at their positions
• 47:33
  of knee, wide receiver, interior, offensive line,
• 47:36
  and linebacker, so they acquired Joss Sweat,
• 47:38
  Dalvin Tomlinson, Jacoby Brissett, Akeem Davis
• 47:41
  -Gaither, Mikel Walker, Simi Fajoko, and Jalen
• 47:45
  Jones. Chris Tonga, Naquan Jones, Victor Dumacuji,
• 47:52
  and Zach Pascal. So, well, you know what? On
• 47:57
  one hand, yes, I would say a B +, but I feel
• 47:59
  like a B - because, sure, you threw a lot of
• 48:02
  money at Josh Sweat. David Thomason is a really
• 48:05
  productive defensive lineman. Jacoby Brissett
• 48:08
  is a really good backup quarterback. He's somebody
• 48:11
  that, you know, if you need him to win maybe
• 48:15
  like two or three games, he could definitely
• 48:16
  do it. He's not somebody that can, like, you
• 48:19
  know, carry on the entire season. Just saying.
• 48:22
  Akeem Dase Gaither. Really good backup of a player,
• 48:26
  Mikel Walker, still trying to find his footing
• 48:28
  in the league. Semi Fajoko, those are probably
• 48:31
  like practice bodies for the summer and whatnot.
• 48:35
  So all in all, I feel like the Cardinals, they
• 48:40
  definitely hit with Josh Sweat. Everything else
• 48:42
  is debatable. I think I'll just leave it at that.
• 48:46
  Seahawks, C -. And the reason why I say that
• 48:49
  is because... For one, I think the Sam Darnold
• 48:53
  and the Cooper Cup and the D -Law signings, I
• 48:55
  feel like they were definitely reaching. So when
• 48:57
  we look at their positions of need, interior
• 48:59
  offensive line, tight end, cornerback, safety,
• 49:01
  receiver, okay? So they acquired Sam Darnold,
• 49:05
  Cooper Cup, Demarcus Lawrence, Marquez Valdez
• 49:08
  -Scanley, Josh Jones, De 'Anthony Bell, River
• 49:10
  Craft. I know I just put your last name. I'm
• 49:15
  sorry. Shamar Jean Charles, Stephen Sims, Eric
• 49:18
  Serbet. And then the people that left were Draymond
• 49:21
  Jones, Roy Robertson -Harris, Lakin Thomason,
• 49:25
  Trey Brown, Artie Burns, The Legend, Pharrell
• 49:28
  Brown, and Stone Forsythe. The Cooper Cubs signing,
• 49:32
  I really didn't like. I feel like that was a
• 49:34
  definite reach. On one hand, I understand that
• 49:36
  he wants to play for his hometown team and whatnot,
• 49:39
  but I just feel like he's reached because in
• 49:42
  recent years, he has not been able to stay healthy,
• 49:44
  and it definitely shows. And he is somebody that
• 49:48
  is hit or miss, honestly. Demarcus Lawrence,
• 49:52
  again, I feel like that's a miss because he really
• 49:56
  hasn't been as productive lately. You're talking
• 49:59
  about somebody who at one point was definitely
• 50:03
  one of the best pass rushers in the league. And
• 50:07
  lately, he really hasn't lived up to those expectations.
• 50:10
  Even the contract that the Cowboys gave him.
• 50:14
  and whatnot. I still feel like that was a reach
• 50:17
  as well. Now, when we look at Sam Darnold, I
• 50:21
  feel like that was probably a pretty good deal.
• 50:25
  And the only reason why I say that is because
• 50:28
  when you look at the structure of the deal, it's
• 50:30
  essentially a one -year deal. They can let him
• 50:34
  go next season and not face any consequences
• 50:37
  for it. That's probably the only reason why.
• 50:39
  Outside of that, You can debate about everything
• 50:42
  else. Marquez, Velding, Scantling, really good
• 50:45
  veteran receiver. He could be a two or a three
• 50:49
  or anybody else's team. Can definitely provide
• 50:52
  a lot of insight and mentorship to the receivers
• 50:55
  that are already with the Seahawks. So all in
• 50:57
  all, not really the best, but it's the Seahawks,
• 51:02
  I guess. I just don't understand how you let
• 51:06
  DK Metcalf go. and Tyler Lockett and Geno Smith,
• 51:11
  and then you bring in Cooper Cupp, Marquez Valdez
• 51:14
  -Scantling, and then Dan Darnold. I just don't
• 51:17
  see it personally. Seeing crazier things, okay?
• 51:21
  Rams, A+. So when we look at their positions
• 51:24
  of need, quarterback, wide receiver, tackle,
• 51:27
  linebacker, quarterback, defensive line. All
• 51:30
  right. So they acquired Devontae Adams, Puna
• 51:33
  Four, Coleman Shelton, Nathan Landman. And then
• 51:36
  the people that left Cooper Cup, Bobby Brown,
• 51:39
  Michael Holtz, Demarcus Robinson, Christian Roseboom,
• 51:43
  Hunter Long, Tyler Johnson, Neville Gillimore,
• 51:46
  Jake Hummel and Rashad Weaver. So Devontae Adams,
• 51:51
  I feel like that was an upgrade over Cooper Cup.
• 51:54
  And the reason why I say that is because Devontae
• 51:57
  Adams, even at this point of his career, is still
• 52:01
  a really productive receiver. You're talking
• 52:03
  about somebody that is still a number one receiver.
• 52:06
  Whereas Cooper Cupp, he is somebody that at this
• 52:10
  point is probably a two on a lot of other people's
• 52:13
  teams. Like even when the Rams are going to release
• 52:18
  him, I didn't believe that anybody was going
• 52:21
  to give him. probably well over like 18 or 19
• 52:24
  million a year i did not believe that but the
• 52:27
  seahawks were willing to write that check so
• 52:29
  that's on them puna ford is a sleeper of a defensive
• 52:32
  lineman he does not get the recognition that
• 52:35
  he probably deserves but puna ford is a really
• 52:38
  productive defensive lineman okay am i saying
• 52:41
  he's in the same conversation as you know a miles
• 52:44
  garrett and chris jones and whatnot no but he's
• 52:48
  probably that second or third tier when it comes
• 52:50
  to defensive linemen Coleman Shelton, really
• 52:54
  good signing. Nathan Landman, really good signing
• 52:57
  as well. All in all, the Rams, they didn't have
• 53:02
  to be as aggressive as what they needed to be.
• 53:05
  I feel like just going after Devontae Adams and
• 53:08
  Puna Ford definitely shored up a lot of things.
• 53:13
  I feel like the other positions could definitely
• 53:15
  be addressed and will be addressed in the draft.
• 53:18
  And maybe even in the second wave of free agency,
• 53:21
  just saying. And when we go to the AFC North,
• 53:24
  okay, Brown, C-, positions of need, quarterback,
• 53:28
  wide receiver, running back, tackle, edge, linebacker,
• 53:32
  okay? So they acquired Malik Collins, Cornelius
• 53:35
  Lucas, Joe Tyron, Tevin Jenkins, DeAndre Carter,
• 53:38
  Jerome Baker. The people that left, Dalvin Thomason,
• 53:42
  Juan Thornhill, James Hudson, Jameis Winston,
• 53:45
  Michael Ford. Charlie Huglett, D 'Anthony Bell,
• 53:49
  Bailey Zappi, and James Prochet. This was just
• 53:55
  not good for the Browns. And granted, I understand
• 53:57
  they have a lot of financial restrictions because
• 54:00
  of Deshaun Watson's contract and whatnot. But
• 54:04
  these aren't upgrades. These are more summer
• 54:09
  and practice squad bodies. And I'm not trying
• 54:12
  to be disrespectful. Like Joe Tyron. Former first
• 54:15
  rounder really didn't live up to the hype or
• 54:17
  the expectations with the Buccaneers. Finds another
• 54:20
  home with the Browns. Tevin Jenkins, he's a pretty
• 54:23
  good offensive lineman. He just hasn't been able
• 54:25
  to stay healthy. That's the one knock against
• 54:28
  him. When he's on the field, he's pretty good.
• 54:31
  But once he starts to get hurt, it's basically
• 54:35
  a lost cause. Jerome Baker. He's definitely floated
• 54:39
  around the league, you know, outside of, you
• 54:42
  know, those really good years with the Dolphins.
• 54:44
  He's basically been, you know, bouncing around
• 54:46
  everywhere. Cornelius Lucas, again, it's not
• 54:51
  something that moves the needle. It's not something
• 54:53
  where it's like, okay, he addresses this primary
• 54:58
  position and we don't have to no longer, you
• 55:00
  know, worry about it. Like, it's not like that.
• 55:03
  So I gave them a C minus. Now the Bengals, I
• 55:07
  would say a D. You know what? No, I'm not going
• 55:10
  to do it. I'm not going to do it. So positions
• 55:11
  of need. Interior, offensive line, edge, linebacker,
• 55:15
  safety, running back. Okay, so they acquired
• 55:17
  to Daryl Slayton, Oren Berg, Samaji Piran, Lucas
• 55:21
  Patrick. The people that left, Alex Kappa, Sheldon
• 55:24
  Rankins, Akeem Davis Gaither, Trenton Browns,
• 55:27
  and Khalil Herbert, as well as Jay Tuffley. They
• 55:31
  just really didn't do anything. And granted,
• 55:33
  I understand they were trying to, you know, hash
• 55:36
  out deals with. both uh jamar chase and t higgins
• 55:40
  that's perfectly fine but you needed to do more
• 55:44
  you needed to bring in at least a few other people
• 55:47
  and i feel like they didn't do it now granted
• 55:50
  they brought back bj hill but like does that
• 55:52
  move the needle i mean sure a little bit but
• 55:55
  it's nothing significant because right now you've
• 55:58
  allocated at least 50 maybe even more of your
• 56:02
  cap to three players so you have to try to fill
• 56:06
  in every other position on the team with smaller
• 56:10
  contracts. And even with the smaller contracts,
• 56:14
  they have to be productive players, not players
• 56:17
  that are going to be competing for roster spots.
• 56:20
  Now, granted, I understand the Bengals definitely
• 56:23
  wanted to prioritize taking care of their players,
• 56:26
  but... That is not an excuse for trying to upgrade
• 56:29
  certain positions on your team. You know that
• 56:31
  corner is a problem. You know that linebacker
• 56:34
  is still a problem because Jermaine Pratt still
• 56:37
  wants to be traded. You have a lot of positions
• 56:40
  that you need to fill. And there were some veteran
• 56:43
  players that you probably could have brought
• 56:44
  in. But I don't understand why. Maybe it's the
• 56:48
  Bengals being cheap. I don't know. The Ravens.
• 56:51
  I probably would say... A C, maybe. All right,
• 56:58
  when we look at their positions of need, interior
• 57:00
  offensive line, cornerback, edge, safety, kicker,
• 57:03
  interior linebacker, I keep on saying interior,
• 57:06
  inside linebacker, excuse me. So they acquired
• 57:09
  Cooper Rush, DeAndre Hopkins, Jake Hummel, and
• 57:13
  Chidobe Woosier. Here is my problem. Well, actually,
• 57:17
  no, it's not really a problem. The Ravens are
• 57:20
  in a situation similar to the Eagles where they're
• 57:22
  still in their Super Bowl window. So honestly
• 57:25
  speaking, they don't have to make a whole lot
• 57:29
  of moves. They're not in a rush where it's like,
• 57:31
  oh, we have to get this person. Oh, we have to
• 57:34
  get that person. Oh, we have to do this or we
• 57:36
  have to do that. Not really. They can just sit
• 57:39
  because players are going to want to play for
• 57:42
  the Ravens. We see it every single time. Same
• 57:44
  thing with the Eagles. Same thing with the Bills.
• 57:46
  Same thing with the Chiefs. OK, everybody's going
• 57:49
  to want to play for one of those teams because
• 57:51
  all those teams are still Super Bowl caliber
• 57:53
  teams. Not to mention the Ravens have had somewhat
• 57:57
  of like financial struggles. So they're still
• 58:00
  trying to, you know, give people extensions and
• 58:03
  figure things out from from a salary cap standpoint.
• 58:06
  So that's probably why they've been a little
• 58:09
  bit quiet when it came to the first wave of free
• 58:12
  agency. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be
• 58:15
  a little bit more aggressive in that second and
• 58:17
  third wave of free agency. Now, when we look
• 58:20
  at the Steelers, I wanted to give them a C -.
• 58:24
  Well, I want to give them a C-, but I also want
• 58:27
  to give them a B, but I feel like a C - would
• 58:29
  definitely do. Positions of need, cornerback,
• 58:32
  defensive tackle, running back, quarterback,
• 58:35
  tackle. So they acquired DK Metcalf, Malik Harrison,
• 58:38
  Darius Slay, Mason Rudolph, Brandon Echols, Juan
• 58:41
  Thornhill, Kenneth Gainwell, and Eze Otunwahu.
• 58:48
  I think I just butchered your name. I am so sorry,
• 58:51
  sir. The people that left, Dan Moore, Justin
• 58:54
  Fields, Russell Wilson, James Daniels, Larry
• 58:56
  Ogunjobi, Dante Jackson, Najee Harrison, Landon
• 58:59
  Roberts, Mike Williams, Van Jefferson, Nate Herbig,
• 59:01
  and Kyle Allen, just to name a few. DK Metcalf,
• 59:06
  that was definitely an upgrade. Malik Harrison
• 59:08
  did not like that move. And I will continue to
• 59:10
  say I didn't like that move because you could
• 59:13
  have gotten a Landon Roberts for probably around
• 59:17
  the same amount of money that he signed with
• 59:19
  the Raiders. But instead, you tried to kill two
• 59:23
  birds with one stone and get with somebody who
• 59:25
  has special teams experience, but he doesn't
• 59:28
  do the things that a Landon Roberts was able
• 59:31
  to do. Landon Roberts said he wanted to retire
• 59:34
  as a Steeler and you did not fulfill that wish.
• 59:38
  Why? I don't know. Darius Slay, I feel like that's
• 59:42
  a good of an upgrade over Dante Jackson personally
• 59:46
  because Darius Slay was still playing fairly
• 59:49
  well with the Eagles last season. And I think
• 59:52
  he would be a really good mentor role for people
• 59:55
  like Joey Porter Jr. And what's his name? What's
• 59:59
  his name? Corey Trice as well. Mason Rudolph,
• 1:00:02
  I feel like that was pretty good as well, especially
• 1:00:04
  with all the controversy going on with Aaron
• 1:00:08
  Rodgers and whatnot. Brandon Echols, really good
• 1:00:10
  slot option for them. Could be competition for
• 1:00:14
  Beanie Bishop. Hill, safety number three. Kenneth
• 1:00:18
  Gainwell, running back three slash special teams.
• 1:00:23
  Ezzie, on some wow. I just feel like that's like
• 1:00:28
  more of a death piece, honestly. That's probably
• 1:00:31
  it. Now let's go to the AFC South. Oh man, we
• 1:00:34
  still got a whole lot. And then we still got
• 1:00:35
  the Divisional Rodeo. Man, oh man, you guys are
• 1:00:39
  getting a loaded episode today. All right, so
• 1:00:41
  let's get to the AFC South. All right, so Titans.
• 1:00:47
  So when we look at their positions of need, quarterback,
• 1:00:50
  wide receiver, edge, safety, and kicker. So they
• 1:00:52
  acquired Dan Moore, Cody Barton, Kevin Zeitler,
• 1:00:55
  Draymond Jones, Xavier Woods, Sebastian Joseph
• 1:00:58
  Day, Van Jefferson, Brandon Allen, Lorenzo Carter,
• 1:01:01
  Johnny Hecker, Blake Lance, Tim Boyle, James
• 1:01:04
  Prochet, and Joey Sly. I think I pronounced your
• 1:01:08
  name wrong. I'm sorry. People that left, Harold
• 1:01:10
  Landry, Mason Rudolph, Nick Westbrook, Luke Gifford,
• 1:01:14
  Ryan Stonehouse, Jack Gibbons, Jadovia Woozie,
• 1:01:17
  Jerome Baker, and Dylan Runce. So Dan Moore was
• 1:01:22
  pretty good. Maybe a little bit of an overpay,
• 1:01:26
  just a little bit, but only time will tell. Cody
• 1:01:30
  Barton, I feel like was pretty productive. Kevin
• 1:01:32
  Zeiler, I feel like that's an upgrade. Draymond
• 1:01:35
  Jones, debatable. Xavier Woods. productive. Sebastian
• 1:01:39
  Joseph Day, I feel like is really productive
• 1:01:42
  on the defensive line. Van Jefferson, wide receiver
• 1:01:45
  three option. Lorenzo Carter, pass rush three
• 1:01:49
  option at this point. Everything else is really
• 1:01:52
  debatable. On to the Jaguars. I gave them a B,
• 1:01:57
  but I was a little bit hesitant to give them
• 1:01:59
  this B. Positions of need, interior offensive
• 1:02:02
  line, tight end, wide receiver, DB, running back,
• 1:02:05
  and defensive line. They acquired Patrick McCurry,
• 1:02:08
  Jordan Lewis, Robert Hainsey, Eric Murray, Dayami
• 1:02:12
  Brown, Chuma Adoga, Johnny Munt, Hunter Long,
• 1:02:16
  Nick Mullins, and Fred Johnson. The people that
• 1:02:18
  left, Evan Ingram, Andre Sisco, Luke Farrell,
• 1:02:21
  Mack Jones, Ronald Darby, Tim Jones, Jeremiah
• 1:02:24
  Ledbetter, Devin Duvernay, Blake Hintz, Ezi Oltemwalu,
• 1:02:29
  and Josh Reynolds. So Patrick McCurry was a little
• 1:02:34
  bit of a reach. And I only say that because,
• 1:02:36
  sure, he probably has versatility. But, I mean,
• 1:02:42
  you're just paying for his versatility. That's
• 1:02:44
  all you're paying for. You're not paying for
• 1:02:45
  anything else at this point. And if that's the
• 1:02:48
  case, well, then fine. You justified that deal.
• 1:02:51
  Jordan Lewis. For you to reset the nickel corner
• 1:02:54
  market for him, I probably wouldn't have done
• 1:02:58
  that personally. I just feel like personally,
• 1:03:02
  Jordan Lewis, I mean, he's a productive nickel
• 1:03:06
  corner, but he's not somebody where it's like,
• 1:03:09
  oh, we have to reset the nickel corner market
• 1:03:11
  for him. Just no. Eric Murray, pretty good signing.
• 1:03:17
  Dayami Brown, only time will tell. A lot of these
• 1:03:20
  signings are, you know, wait and see type of
• 1:03:24
  signings, honestly. Patrick McCurry, I feel like
• 1:03:26
  it was solid -ish, but we have to see where is
• 1:03:30
  he going to be placed at at this point because
• 1:03:32
  he can play any position on the offensive line,
• 1:03:35
  but there are certain positions that he's better
• 1:03:37
  at than others. Texans, C -plus. All right, when
• 1:03:42
  we look at their positions of need, offensive
• 1:03:44
  line, wide receiver, and D -tackle. So they acquired
• 1:03:47
  Christian Kirk, Cam Robinson, Tremont Smith,
• 1:03:50
  Nick Neiman, Sheldon Rankins, Justin Watson,
• 1:03:53
  Daryl Taylor, Lakin Thomason, Trenton Brown,
• 1:03:55
  Ronald Darby, Braxton Berrios, and Casey Tuhill.
• 1:03:58
  The people that left, I know it was Laramie Tunsell,
• 1:04:02
  it was Kendrick Green, and I know it was a few
• 1:04:04
  others, if I'm not mistaken. I just drew a blank
• 1:04:08
  for a moment. But with them... Ken Robinson was
• 1:04:11
  a reach. Ken Robinson did not play that well
• 1:04:15
  when he was with the Vikings. OK, I feel like
• 1:04:19
  if that's supposed to be the replacement for
• 1:04:21
  the Remy Tunsil, I feel like that's a that's
• 1:04:23
  a downgrade. That's not an upgrade. And at best,
• 1:04:26
  I would have said just trade up. Well, I mean,
• 1:04:29
  not trade up, but draft somebody. But we'll we'll
• 1:04:31
  we'll talk about that when we get into the division
• 1:04:33
  rodeo. OK, Christian Kirk, I feel like that was
• 1:04:36
  definitely a really good signing. Especially
• 1:04:39
  when it comes to what they had to give up to
• 1:04:41
  get him, which really wasn't a lot. I feel like
• 1:04:43
  that was pretty good. Everything else is debatable.
• 1:04:47
  You know what I mean? Sheldon Rankins, really
• 1:04:49
  good signing. Lakin Thomason, veteran guard,
• 1:04:52
  really good. Ronald Darby, really good veteran
• 1:04:55
  corner as well. Everybody else, like I just said,
• 1:04:59
  is more practice -deaf, summer camp body, fighting
• 1:05:05
  for the roster spot. Colts. Positions of need,
• 1:05:09
  DB, defensive line, offensive line, tight end,
• 1:05:12
  linebacker, edge. So they acquired Cameron Bynum,
• 1:05:15
  Charverius Ward, Daniel Jones, Corey Ballantyne,
• 1:05:18
  Herbert, and Neville Gallimore. The people that
• 1:05:21
  left, Will Fries, Dale Odeonbo, I think I just
• 1:05:27
  put your last name, I'm sorry, Ryan Kelly, Kylan
• 1:05:31
  Granson, and Grant Stort. God, you guys got some
• 1:05:35
  weird last names. I know I got a weird name,
• 1:05:37
  but like, man, these are weird. So for them,
• 1:05:41
  I wanted to give them a B plus. And I was a little
• 1:05:44
  bit on the fence about it. And I'll explain why.
• 1:05:46
  So Cameron Bynum and Charverius Ward, really
• 1:05:49
  good signings. OK, Charverius Ward, wide receiver
• 1:05:52
  one. Cameron Bynum, really good safety as well.
• 1:05:57
  Daniel Jones, that's competition for Anthony
• 1:05:59
  Richardson. We'll get more in depth about that
• 1:06:01
  when we get to the divisional rodeo. Corey Ballantyne,
• 1:06:04
  if you want to argue with it, argue with it.
• 1:06:06
  Don't really care. Khalil Herbert, I feel like
• 1:06:08
  that was a good signing as well. Neville Gallimore,
• 1:06:11
  I feel like that was a pretty good signing as
• 1:06:14
  well. So all in all. They're two big market signings
• 1:06:19
  where Cameron Bynum and Charverius Ward were
• 1:06:22
  actually really good. You get two really good
• 1:06:25
  productive DBs. which is actually one of the
• 1:06:29
  things that the Colts actually really need. Everything
• 1:06:32
  else, I feel like they'll probably address it
• 1:06:35
  in the draft, honestly speaking. I feel like
• 1:06:38
  they're in a state where enough draft picks where
• 1:06:42
  they can address all the other positions. On
• 1:06:45
  to the AFC East, okay? Let's see. Where are we
• 1:06:49
  at? Patriots, A+. This one is a lot. Positions
• 1:06:53
  of need. Offensive line, edge, corner, wide receiver,
• 1:06:57
  tight end, linebacker, running back, safety,
• 1:06:59
  DT. They acquired Milton Williams, Carlton Davis,
• 1:07:03
  Harold Landry, Stephon Diggs, Robert Spillane,
• 1:07:05
  Morgan Moses, Garrett Bradbury, Matt Collins,
• 1:07:09
  Josh Dobbs, Marcus Epps. Wait a minute. Oh, no.
• 1:07:12
  Oh, wait, I'm forgetting. Klaviyan, Chaseyon,
• 1:07:15
  Chris Tonga, Wes Schweitzer, and Jack Gibbons.
• 1:07:19
  So the people that left, Jacoby Brissett, Jonathan
• 1:07:22
  Jones, DeAndre Wise, and Joey Sly. So Milton
• 1:07:27
  Williams, a little bit on the fence about only
• 1:07:32
  because he really didn't play as much. But at
• 1:07:34
  the same time, when he was on the field, what
• 1:07:36
  was he doing? Making plays. Carlton Davis, that
• 1:07:40
  was a really good signing. You didn't overreach
• 1:07:43
  to seal the deal, but at the same time, you gave
• 1:07:48
  him a pretty good deal. And I think that's all
• 1:07:50
  that matters. Stephon Diggs, that was a really
• 1:07:52
  good signing. Wide receiver one. Okay, Robert
• 1:07:55
  Spillane, really productive tackling machine
• 1:07:57
  of a linebacker. Okay. He played with the Raiders,
• 1:08:01
  and he played fairly well with the Steelers as
• 1:08:03
  well. So Morgan Moses, you have a backup veteran
• 1:08:08
  tackle at best. Honestly, somewhat of an iron
• 1:08:12
  man. Gary Bradbury, that was an upgrade as well
• 1:08:17
  when it comes to guard. Mack Hollins, definitely
• 1:08:21
  of a sleeper of a signing. And the reason why
• 1:08:23
  I say that is because Mack Hollins doesn't get
• 1:08:26
  talked about as much. But when you need him to
• 1:08:29
  make a play, he is the guy to make a play. Sure,
• 1:08:32
  he might be a little bit weird with all of his
• 1:08:33
  superstitions and everything and whatnot. And
• 1:08:36
  sure, he doesn't wear shoes when he's going to
• 1:08:39
  the games and whatnot. But the fact of the matter
• 1:08:41
  is, this guy makes plays. This guy is a baller.
• 1:08:45
  Josh Dobbs, really good backup quarterback option.
• 1:08:48
  Marcus Epps, that was a good signing as well
• 1:08:51
  when it comes to safety. Everything else. is
• 1:08:55
  more, you know, summertime signings. Nothing
• 1:08:58
  is, you know, written in stone and whatnot. The
• 1:09:01
  Jets, I gave them a C, okay? So positions of
• 1:09:04
  need. Quarterback, tackle, outside linebacker,
• 1:09:09
  corner, tight end, safety. Defensive tackle.
• 1:09:12
  So they acquired Justin Fields, Brandon Steffens,
• 1:09:14
  Andre Sisco, Josh Myers, Chris Boyd, Derek Nandi,
• 1:09:18
  Brian Colward, Stone Smart, Tyra Johnson, Rashad
• 1:09:22
  Weaver, Jay Tuffley, and Josh Reynolds. So the
• 1:09:26
  people that left, Aaron Rodgers, Devontae Adams,
• 1:09:28
  DJ Reed, so far. So the only reason why I gave
• 1:09:32
  them a C is because, for one, Justin Fields,
• 1:09:37
  I don't feel like that really was an upgrade.
• 1:09:40
  I feel like that was somewhat of a stagnant move.
• 1:09:44
  And the reason why I say that is because we only
• 1:09:47
  saw him play for six games. And you paid him
• 1:09:50
  the amount that you paid him like he basically
• 1:09:53
  played an entire season. Not to mention, how
• 1:09:56
  is he going to work in this Jets offense? Because
• 1:09:59
  the offensive coordinator comes from... uh what's
• 1:10:02
  the dude what what's the what's the head coach
• 1:10:05
  for the bears him i forgot his name i just drew
• 1:10:08
  a blank but how was that how was that going to
• 1:10:10
  work with justin fields that i don't know brandon
• 1:10:12
  stephens that was a reach brandon stephens andre
• 1:10:15
  cisco is a really good well not i want to say
• 1:10:20
  really good but he's a good safety okay he's
• 1:10:24
  a good you know backup safety at best Everybody
• 1:10:28
  else is a little bit, you know, debatable. Derek
• 1:10:31
  Nnamdi, I mean, he was on those Super Bowl Chiefs
• 1:10:34
  teams. That's really it. Everything else is,
• 1:10:38
  you know, up in the air at this point. Bills,
• 1:10:40
  C+. And the only reason why is because they really
• 1:10:46
  haven't been active in free agency because they've
• 1:10:48
  been trying to take care of, like, you know,
• 1:10:50
  all of their current players, which I don't blame
• 1:10:52
  them for. So that's probably why their grade
• 1:10:54
  is so low. But when we look at their positions
• 1:10:56
  of need, cornerback, interior defensive line,
• 1:11:02
  safety, wide receiver, and running back. So they
• 1:11:04
  got Joey Bosa, Josh Palmer, Michael. Hoach, Larry
• 1:11:08
  Ogunjobi, Dane Jackson, Derek Forrest, Darrington
• 1:11:12
  Evans, and Kendrick Green. Joey Bosa, I feel
• 1:11:15
  like that was a reach because Joey Bosa has not
• 1:11:18
  been able to really stay healthy, and he has
• 1:11:20
  not been very productive in the last maybe three
• 1:11:23
  years. Josh Palmer, I do feel like that was a
• 1:11:26
  really good signing. I feel like that's wide
• 1:11:28
  receiver two right there, or maybe wide receiver
• 1:11:31
  three, depending on how big one has been and
• 1:11:32
  whatnot. Larry Ogunjobi is a rotational defensive
• 1:11:35
  lineman at this point. He is not somebody that
• 1:11:38
  you can rely on. He is not somebody that's going
• 1:11:40
  to give you five to eight sacks. He is somebody
• 1:11:42
  that, you know, if somebody gets hurt, you can
• 1:11:45
  definitely plug them in. Kendrick Green, that's
• 1:11:47
  a summer body at this point. Dane Jackson, debatable.
• 1:11:51
  Very debatable at this point. Yeah, I feel like
• 1:11:55
  any of the other positions that they did not
• 1:11:57
  address in this first wave of free agency will
• 1:12:00
  definitely be addressed either in the draft or
• 1:12:02
  in that second to third wave of free agency because
• 1:12:05
  people still want to play for the Bills because
• 1:12:07
  the Bills are still in a really good spot. Now,
• 1:12:10
  on to the AFC West, all right? So the Raiders
• 1:12:14
  gave them a B, all right? Positions of need,
• 1:12:17
  quarterback, wide receiver, DB. running back,
• 1:12:20
  linebacker. So they acquired Jeremy Chin, Alex
• 1:12:23
  Kappa, Eric Stokes, Alandon Roberts, Lonnie Johnson,
• 1:12:27
  Raheem Mostert, Ian Thomas, Leke Fultu, Devin
• 1:12:30
  White, and Geno Smith. So my takeaway from this
• 1:12:34
  was the Raiders, for one, prioritize quarterback
• 1:12:37
  by getting Geno Smith, which was which was really
• 1:12:40
  good. Then you go and you get Jeremy Chin and
• 1:12:43
  then you get Alex Capital. Like you're bringing
• 1:12:45
  in some veterans, some really good, productive
• 1:12:47
  veteran players, which is really good. Not to
• 1:12:50
  mention you're not paying them a whole lot of
• 1:12:51
  money, which is actually really good, too. So
• 1:12:54
  I think Landon Roberts provide provides that,
• 1:12:57
  you know, that mentorship role for the younger
• 1:13:00
  linebackers. And I think pairing him with Devin
• 1:13:04
  White would actually be really good because Landon
• 1:13:07
  is the thumper. And I think Devin White still
• 1:13:09
  has some athleticism to where he can, you know,
• 1:13:12
  play really good in coverage. Raheem Mostert
• 1:13:14
  is still a really, really productive running
• 1:13:16
  back. I mean, he can still probably give you,
• 1:13:18
  you know, a thousand rushing yards season. And
• 1:13:21
  I think that is really needed, especially with
• 1:13:23
  the Pete Carroll system. So I think pairing him
• 1:13:27
  with maybe like a younger running back would
• 1:13:29
  definitely, you know. do some damage. But all
• 1:13:34
  in all, I think they had a really solid free
• 1:13:36
  agent first wave. I do. I think the most important
• 1:13:40
  thing was them getting Geno Smith because they
• 1:13:44
  were in a position where they couldn't go and
• 1:13:45
  get either Cam Ward or Sador Sanders. They knew
• 1:13:49
  that. So what's the best thing to do? Get Geno
• 1:13:51
  Smith because why? Geno Smith had his best years
• 1:13:54
  under who? Pete Carroll. Looking at the Broncos.
• 1:13:57
  Now this one was difficult because I wanted to
• 1:14:00
  give them an A, but I feel like a B plus is like,
• 1:14:04
  it's just there. It's like, it's just right.
• 1:14:06
  I don't know. You let me know. So, positions
• 1:14:09
  of need. Defensive line, tight end, running back,
• 1:14:12
  receiver, and inside linebacker. So, they got
• 1:14:15
  Tolenoa Hufunga, Dre Greenlaw, Evan Ingram, Trent
• 1:14:19
  Shurfield, okay? And then the people that left,
• 1:14:22
  Cody Barton, Zach Wilson, Tremont Smith, Javonte
• 1:14:24
  Williams, Riley Dixon, and LaJordan Humphrey.
• 1:14:27
  So, Tolenoa Hufunga. That was a steal. Between
• 1:14:32
  that and Dre Greenlaw, those were steal signings
• 1:14:35
  because you have two really good players in their
• 1:14:39
  positions, okay? Dre Greenlaw was doing his thing.
• 1:14:42
  Him and Fred Warner, that was a deadly combination,
• 1:14:45
  okay? Talanoa Hafunga is a rising star of a safety.
• 1:14:49
  He is going to continue to get better and better
• 1:14:51
  as his career progresses. Evan Ingram, I think
• 1:14:55
  that was a sleeper of a signing as well. For
• 1:14:58
  the Jaguars to cut him and then he go to the
• 1:15:02
  Broncos, I think that's really good. I think
• 1:15:04
  that automatically eliminates tight end from
• 1:15:07
  a need when it comes to a drafting standpoint.
• 1:15:10
  Running back, I feel like they'll definitely
• 1:15:13
  address that in the draft for sure. Inside linebacker,
• 1:15:17
  you could add somebody else if you want to, but
• 1:15:19
  I feel like Dre Greenlaw and then Alex Singleton,
• 1:15:21
  I think that's more than enough. Defensive line,
• 1:15:25
  I feel like they'll definitely address that in
• 1:15:26
  the draft as well because I feel like they probably
• 1:15:29
  wasn't going to pay. 18 to maybe 25 million for
• 1:15:33
  a defensive lineman. I just feel like they wasn't
• 1:15:35
  going to do that. Chargers, B plus. So their
• 1:15:38
  positions of need, wide receiver, edge, defensive
• 1:15:41
  line, corner, tight end, interior offensive line,
• 1:15:44
  linebacker, running back. Okay, so they acquired
• 1:15:46
  Mekhi Becton, Dante Jackson, Najee Harris, Mike
• 1:15:49
  Williams, Tyler Conklin, Benjamin St. Juice,
• 1:15:51
  Deshaun Hand, Delshaun Phillips, Naquan Jones,
• 1:15:55
  and Andre James. The people that left, Joey Bosa,
• 1:15:58
  Christian Fultz, and Josh Palmer. Puna Ford,
• 1:16:01
  Nick Neiman, Morgan Fox, Sammy Fajoko, Stone
• 1:16:05
  Smart, and Foster Sorrell. So, Makai Becton,
• 1:16:11
  a little bit on the fence about. And the only
• 1:16:13
  reason why I say that is because if Makai Becton
• 1:16:17
  had did what he did for like maybe two or three
• 1:16:21
  years, then I would say that that's a good sign,
• 1:16:23
  right? But it was only just one year. And we
• 1:16:27
  don't know if he will be able to continue to
• 1:16:29
  do what he did with the Eagles as he's going
• 1:16:31
  to do with the Chargers. We don't know. He's
• 1:16:34
  still a question mark in my mind. Dante Jackson,
• 1:16:37
  I feel like, was a pretty good signing. It's
• 1:16:41
  just... Towards the end of the season, he just
• 1:16:43
  wasn't able to stay healthy because he was having
• 1:16:45
  back problems. Najee Harris, I feel like that
• 1:16:48
  was a solid running back signing. He's the bell
• 1:16:52
  cow that I think Jim Harbaugh really wants. And
• 1:16:55
  so I feel like putting him behind this offensive
• 1:16:59
  line, they are going to wreck shop. You are putting
• 1:17:04
  20, not 24, that shows you how old I am. You
• 1:17:08
  are putting new tracks on a tank. That's what
• 1:17:12
  it is. Mike Williams, love the reunions. I think
• 1:17:16
  Mike Williams along with, who's the receiver?
• 1:17:20
  Who's the receiver? Ladd McConkie. I knew it.
• 1:17:22
  Ladd McConkie and Mike Williams, I think that's
• 1:17:25
  pretty good. I think they still need to add maybe
• 1:17:28
  one or two more receivers personally because
• 1:17:30
  I think Quentin Johnson is not going to be staying
• 1:17:33
  with the Chargers anytime soon. Tyler Conklin,
• 1:17:37
  he's a pretty good productive tight end. And
• 1:17:41
  I'll just leave it there, honestly. Benjamin
• 1:17:43
  St. Juiced, I feel like that was not a really
• 1:17:45
  good signing. He got smoked by George Pinkins
• 1:17:49
  last season. But I remember that game. Somebody
• 1:17:56
  picked off George Pickens. And instead of him
• 1:17:58
  going for the tackle, he went straight for Benjamin
• 1:18:01
  St. Juice. That was hilarious. Back to everything
• 1:18:03
  else. All in all, I do feel like the Chargers
• 1:18:06
  definitely made some upgrades at certain positions.
• 1:18:09
  And, you know, all the other signings are just,
• 1:18:12
  you know, wait and see. Now on to the Chiefs,
• 1:18:14
  okay? So positions of need. Offensive line, wide
• 1:18:17
  receiver, running back, defensive line, inside
• 1:18:20
  linebacker. So they acquired Jalen Moore, Christian
• 1:18:22
  Fulton, Elijah Mitchell, Jerry Tillery, Gardner
• 1:18:26
  Minshew, Bailey Zappi, and Robert Rochelle. The
• 1:18:29
  people that left, Tershaw Wharton, Justin Reed,
• 1:18:31
  DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Watson, Josh Uche, Shamaji
• 1:18:36
  P. Ryan, McCole Hartman, Derrick Heath -Taylor.
• 1:18:39
  So Jalen Moore, I probably have to watch more
• 1:18:43
  footage of him, but... I understand that they
• 1:18:46
  wanted to address left tackle, but I feel like
• 1:18:48
  there's different ways of addressing it personally.
• 1:18:51
  Sometimes shelling out money to address a need
• 1:18:55
  can sometimes hurt you more than actually help
• 1:18:58
  you, but only time will tell. Christian Fulton,
• 1:19:00
  I feel like that was a pretty good signing. He's
• 1:19:03
  probably cornerback two or maybe cornerback three
• 1:19:06
  at best. Elijah Mitchell, backup running back
• 1:19:09
  option just in case. Isaiah Pacheco gets hurt
• 1:19:12
  or Isaiah Pacheco holds out because I think he's
• 1:19:16
  trying to get paid this season. Gardner Minshew,
• 1:19:19
  pretty good backup role. Same thing with Bailey
• 1:19:22
  Zappi. I think Bailey Zappi is probably like
• 1:19:25
  quarterback three at this point. Maybe he can
• 1:19:28
  use this time to develop and become better. But
• 1:19:31
  all in all, just like I said with the Eagles
• 1:19:34
  and the Ravens and the Bills. The Chiefs are
• 1:19:36
  in a spot where, yes, they are still Super Bowl
• 1:19:38
  contenders, so they really don't have to make
• 1:19:40
  a whole lot of crazy moves and whatnot. I feel
• 1:19:43
  like they're probably going to retool their team
• 1:19:45
  through the draft and whatnot. So let's get to
• 1:19:48
  the divisional rodeo, folks. You thought this
• 1:19:51
  episode was over? No, it is not. We are just
• 1:19:54
  beginning. Let us start with the AFC South, all
• 1:19:58
  right? Colts, Jaguars, Texans, and Titans, all
• 1:20:02
  right? So let's start with the Colts. So their
• 1:20:04
  salary cap, 21 .7 million with a rollover cap
• 1:20:07
  of 10 million. Free agents, Will Fries, Ryan
• 1:20:10
  Kelly, Adeo. Oh, you know what? I'll just say
• 1:20:15
  Dale. I'll just leave it there because I don't
• 1:20:17
  want to keep on butchering your last name. Kylan
• 1:20:19
  Granson, Grant Stroud, Mo Alleycox, Joe Flacco,
• 1:20:23
  EJ Speed, even though he signed with the Texans
• 1:20:25
  a few days ago, Julian Blackman, Ronnie Harrison,
• 1:20:28
  Mark Glanowski, and Trey Sermon. All right? So
• 1:20:32
  their draft picks. They have their first, their
• 1:20:35
  second, their third, their fourth, their fifth,
• 1:20:37
  their sixth. and they're seventh. So they have
• 1:20:39
  all their picks, okay? They don't have duplicates
• 1:20:41
  of any of their picks, which actually pretty
• 1:20:43
  sucks. Now their positions of need, DB, defensive
• 1:20:46
  line, offensive line, tight end, linebacker,
• 1:20:48
  and edge. Me personally, I feel like we could
• 1:20:51
  probably take DB off only because they have Jarvarius
• 1:20:54
  Ward and they have Cameron Bynum. But everything
• 1:20:57
  else, I feel like you could definitely address
• 1:21:00
  in the draft. And so here's my thing. So on one
• 1:21:05
  hand, You do want to bolster up this defense
• 1:21:09
  even more. But the question is, how high do you
• 1:21:13
  value defensive line? Because right now you have
• 1:21:16
  the 14th pick. So you could be in the sweepstakes
• 1:21:20
  to possibly get Kenneth Grant. I think if you
• 1:21:23
  get Kenneth Grant and you pair him with DeForest
• 1:21:25
  Buckner and Quiddie Paye and the other pass rusher
• 1:21:28
  that they have, which I literally forgot his
• 1:21:31
  name just now. I think that would be a ferocious
• 1:21:34
  defensive line because you're going to have somebody
• 1:21:37
  to get through because not everybody will be
• 1:21:40
  able to get double teams. So someone's going
• 1:21:42
  to get through, okay? Now, for all the other
• 1:21:45
  positions, okay, offensive line, I feel like
• 1:21:48
  you could address that maybe day two, maybe day
• 1:21:50
  three. Tight end, with the tight end class being
• 1:21:53
  as good as it is, you could probably address
• 1:21:56
  that maybe like the second round if you really
• 1:21:58
  wanted to because I feel like if they get Harold
• 1:22:00
  Fannin Jr., I think that would be great. Or you
• 1:22:04
  could get Colston Loveland. You know, you have
• 1:22:07
  options, honestly. Linebacker, I feel like you
• 1:22:10
  could address that in free agency. I know they
• 1:22:14
  still have Zaire Franklin, but I feel like you're
• 1:22:16
  probably going to need to either draft somebody
• 1:22:18
  or just get somebody. Now, with the linebackers
• 1:22:21
  in the draft, you'll have Chris Paul Jr., Jiha
• 1:22:23
  Campbell, Carson Swearinger from either Cal or
• 1:22:27
  UCLA. So you'll have some options. Edge. I feel
• 1:22:32
  like you could address that in the first round
• 1:22:34
  if you really wanted to, because with defensive
• 1:22:38
  line, OK, you can address it in the second and
• 1:22:42
  third round if you want to. I feel like Darius
• 1:22:45
  Alexander will still be there. Jordan Phillips.
• 1:22:47
  You'll still have some really good options in
• 1:22:50
  day two and day three for defensive linemen.
• 1:22:52
  But I feel like edge that may be. a more higher
• 1:22:56
  priority than defensive linemen. Now, I could
• 1:22:58
  be wrong. We can debate about it as much as you
• 1:23:01
  want, okay? But here is the problem right now
• 1:23:04
  with the Colts. Right now, they have to figure
• 1:23:07
  out exactly what are they going to do moving
• 1:23:09
  forward with quarterback. Because I feel like
• 1:23:12
  at this point, Anthony Richardson has fallen
• 1:23:15
  out of the good graces of the organization. And
• 1:23:19
  the reason why I say that is because the straw
• 1:23:23
  that broke the camel's back, was when he tapped
• 1:23:26
  out during i think the texans game and then he
• 1:23:29
  tried to say he was like tired or something that
• 1:23:33
  one situation created such a ripple effect that
• 1:23:38
  i think it rubbed a lot of people within the
• 1:23:41
  organization the wrong way i feel like a lot
• 1:23:44
  of players felt some type of way about it i feel
• 1:23:47
  like some of the coaches some type of way about
• 1:23:50
  it. And I feel like Shane Stuyton at this point
• 1:23:52
  is basically throwing his hands up and saying,
• 1:23:54
  I've done everything I could. He doesn't develop.
• 1:23:59
  There's nothing else I can do. But at the same
• 1:24:01
  time, if you're the Colts, you have to understand
• 1:24:03
  that you reached for Anthony Richardson. We all
• 1:24:06
  knew that Anthony Richardson was a project. We
• 1:24:09
  all know that he's very raw. He literally had,
• 1:24:13
  if I'm not mistaken, less than a year of playing
• 1:24:16
  experience. That's not enough for a quarterback.
• 1:24:20
  You're going to need at least two to maybe four
• 1:24:23
  years of experience, maybe even five if you want
• 1:24:26
  to go all the way, if you really want to. But
• 1:24:30
  the fact of the matter is, Anthony Richardson
• 1:24:33
  at this point is at a crossroads. And I think
• 1:24:36
  right now, depending on what happens at camp,
• 1:24:41
  will depend what's going to happen next year.
• 1:24:43
  I feel like personally, they are either going
• 1:24:47
  to get rid of Anthony Richardson and then pay
• 1:24:49
  Daniel Jones and make him the franchise quarterback,
• 1:24:52
  or they're going to draft one next year. Because
• 1:24:55
  right now, Anthony Richardson just... hasn't
• 1:24:58
  lived up to the hype nor the expectations that
• 1:25:00
  the Colts probably had for him. And I feel like
• 1:25:03
  bringing in someone like Daniel Jones, who is
• 1:25:05
  quote unquote competition, but in actuality will
• 1:25:08
  probably beat Anthony Richardson. I think, I
• 1:25:13
  don't know. I just feel like this is a very weird
• 1:25:18
  situation because on one hand, you want to point
• 1:25:21
  the finger at Anthony Richardson, but you also
• 1:25:23
  have to point the finger at the organization
• 1:25:25
  because They made the move to get Anthony Richardson.
• 1:25:30
  So, I don't know. The Colts have been weird the
• 1:25:37
  last few years. Ever since Andrew Luck, they've
• 1:25:39
  had a little bit of a carousel when it comes
• 1:25:41
  to quarterback. You've had Carson Wentz. You've
• 1:25:44
  had Phillip Rivers. You've had Matt Ryan. They
• 1:25:47
  had Joe Flacco as well. And they also are probably
• 1:25:50
  going to have Daniel Jones as well. So, the carousel
• 1:25:53
  just keeps on going, folks. But when we look
• 1:25:55
  at candidates for restructure extension trades
• 1:25:57
  and cuts, okay, quiddy pay extension question
• 1:26:01
  mark. And the reason why I say that is because
• 1:26:04
  do you want to get over with now or do you want
• 1:26:08
  to wait and see what happens when it comes to
• 1:26:11
  the season? Because the risk is you may have
• 1:26:14
  to pay two or three times more if he has a crazy
• 1:26:17
  season. Now, when we look at his market value,
• 1:26:20
  okay, it's four years. 59 .3 million, which is
• 1:26:23
  14 .8 million a year. That's not bad at all.
• 1:26:27
  Considering all the other pass rushers this offseason
• 1:26:30
  alone that have made a whole bunch of money,
• 1:26:32
  I think that's actually pretty good, all right?
• 1:26:33
  Same thing with Braden Smith. Do you want to
• 1:26:36
  give him an extension? Me personally, I feel
• 1:26:40
  like if you want to, go for it. But if not, then
• 1:26:44
  you need to find his replacement either in this
• 1:26:46
  draft or next year's draft. Samson Abukam. Maybe,
• 1:26:54
  maybe not. I don't know. I'm a little bit on
• 1:26:57
  the fence for him. Alec Pierce, I would say give
• 1:27:00
  him an extension. His market value is only two
• 1:27:02
  years, 9 .1 million, which is only 4 .6 million
• 1:27:05
  a year. That's not bad. Jelani Woods, that's
• 1:27:08
  up for debate. Khalil Herbert, there's no need
• 1:27:11
  to do that anymore because he signed somewhere
• 1:27:14
  else. Corey Ballantyne, no need for him to do
• 1:27:16
  that as well. Bernard Raymond. extension, possibly.
• 1:27:22
  His market value is only three years, 61 .9 million,
• 1:27:27
  which is 20 .6 million a year. I think at this
• 1:27:31
  point, do you want to prioritize keeping the
• 1:27:33
  offensive line? You may have to because you may
• 1:27:36
  have to draft a rookie quarterback next year.
• 1:27:39
  But all in all, the Colts, I feel like underachieve
• 1:27:44
  every single season because here you have this
• 1:27:48
  really good roster. And they just failed to meet
• 1:27:51
  expectations. They should be able to compete
• 1:27:54
  with the Texans right now to win the division.
• 1:27:57
  And so far, they really haven't. And they failed
• 1:27:59
  to meet expectations. Now, is some of that on
• 1:28:01
  the quarterback? Yes. Is some of that on the
• 1:28:03
  coaching? Yes. Is some of that on decisions that
• 1:28:06
  were out of their control? Probably. But the
• 1:28:09
  fact of the matter is, this Colts team could
• 1:28:11
  be a playoff caliber team if they start to figure
• 1:28:15
  out exactly what they want to do moving forward,
• 1:28:18
  okay? Now on to the Jaguars, okay? So your salary,
• 1:28:22
  $28 .8 million with a rollover cap of $15 .8
• 1:28:25
  million, which is actually pretty good. Your
• 1:28:27
  free agents, Brandon Scherf, Caleb Johnson, Dearness
• 1:28:30
  Johnson, CJ Beathard, Josiah DeGora, Josh Giles
• 1:28:36
  Harris, Deshaun Dixon. Devin Duvernay, Blake
• 1:28:41
  Hance, Josh Reynolds, Jeremiah Ledbetter, Ronald
• 1:28:44
  Darby, Andre Sisco, Matt Jones, just to name
• 1:28:47
  a few, okay? So your draft picks. You got your
• 1:28:50
  first, your second. You have two third -round
• 1:28:52
  picks. You have two fourth -round picks. You
• 1:28:55
  have a fifth. You have two sixth -round picks
• 1:28:58
  and one seventh -round pick, okay? Positions
• 1:29:01
  of need. Interior offensive line, tight end,
• 1:29:04
  wide receiver, DB, running back, and then defensive
• 1:29:07
  line. So here's the thing. So the Jags have had
• 1:29:10
  a lot of turnover lately in this offseason. You
• 1:29:13
  got a new head coach, a GM. You've let go of
• 1:29:17
  a few offensive weapons. You let go of Evan Ingram
• 1:29:20
  as well as Christian Kirk. So the question is,
• 1:29:23
  what is the direction of the team? Because right
• 1:29:27
  now, you are probably going to have to add some
• 1:29:30
  more offensive weapons for Trevor Lawrence. And
• 1:29:33
  so right now, all the positions of need that
• 1:29:37
  you have, could be addressed in the first round
• 1:29:40
  or could be addressed day two and day three.
• 1:29:43
  Now, the positions that I feel like that need
• 1:29:45
  to be addressed in the first round could be defensive
• 1:29:49
  line, DB, and maybe tight end. Well, you know
• 1:29:54
  what? Maybe even interior offensive line. And
• 1:29:58
  I know this may be a hot take, but I just have
• 1:30:00
  to drop this truth bomb for you. I do feel like
• 1:30:03
  Gray Zabel could be a really good pick. I feel
• 1:30:07
  like he is worth, you know, the top five pick.
• 1:30:11
  And the only reason why I say that is because,
• 1:30:13
  for one, he has positional flexibility. And two,
• 1:30:17
  he has the upside to be a potential all -pro
• 1:30:23
  offensive lineman. You're talking about somebody
• 1:30:26
  that, to me, I feel like he's a better, more
• 1:30:31
  refined version of a Troy Fatami. that's my comp
• 1:30:35
  for for grace able no i i could i could definitely
• 1:30:38
  be wrong but at this point i feel like the jaguars
• 1:30:42
  need to prioritize one protecting trevor lawrence
• 1:30:45
  while at the same time trying to maximize what
• 1:30:49
  you have with trevor lawrence because granted
• 1:30:51
  you gave him a boatload of money and he really
• 1:30:53
  hasn't lived up lived up to that deal so you
• 1:30:57
  need to figure out exactly what can what can
• 1:31:00
  the the jaguars do To be more competitive. Because
• 1:31:04
  at this point. They have a lot of pieces. To
• 1:31:07
  be a problem within their division. But the problem
• 1:31:11
  is. Those pieces either don't come together.
• 1:31:14
  Or they're just shipped away somewhere. So the
• 1:31:16
  Jaguars have to figure out. What direction this
• 1:31:18
  team wants to go. At this point. Because if you
• 1:31:23
  don't figure this thing out. It's going to be
• 1:31:25
  a waste. For Trevor Lawrence. It's going to be
• 1:31:27
  a waste for Trevon Walker. Josh Allen Hines.
• 1:31:30
  And a few other players. you know that you have
• 1:31:33
  in your team now when we look at candidates for
• 1:31:35
  restructure extension trades and cuts i feel
• 1:31:38
  like this is probably the shortest list that
• 1:31:39
  i've ever done for a team but here goes trevon
• 1:31:43
  walker extension you need to do this now because
• 1:31:48
  if you don't do this now you run the risk of
• 1:31:50
  having to pay him probably the the equivalence
• 1:31:53
  of a tj watt a max crosby or miles gary right
• 1:31:57
  now trevon walker is starting to show something
• 1:31:59
  right now trevon walker has had, if I'm not mistaken,
• 1:32:04
  two back -to -back double -digit sack seasons.
• 1:32:07
  If he has a third one, oh, that's over. That
• 1:32:11
  conversation is over. That conversation will
• 1:32:14
  start with dollars and cents. So it's better
• 1:32:17
  you be a little bit proactive. Bring them to
• 1:32:20
  the table now, because if you don't, you're going
• 1:32:22
  to regret it. The Bengals, they regret it. The
• 1:32:27
  Vikings, they regret it. You don't want to regret
• 1:32:30
  it. Devin Lloyd, question mark of an extension
• 1:32:33
  because when we look at his market value, it's
• 1:32:35
  only three years, $27 .3 million, which is only
• 1:32:38
  $9 .1 million a year. That's not bad. That's
• 1:32:41
  chump change for y 'all. Travis Etienne is a
• 1:32:44
  question mark because what direction do you see
• 1:32:49
  him going? Do you see him staying with the team
• 1:32:52
  or do you possibly see him as a trade candidate?
• 1:32:56
  Because me personally, I feel like with the running
• 1:32:58
  back class being as good as it is, do you want
• 1:33:01
  to bring somebody to pair along with him? Or
• 1:33:04
  do you want him to just to be the number one
• 1:33:07
  running back at this point? What do you want
• 1:33:09
  to do with Travis Etienne? Because right now
• 1:33:13
  his market value is four years, 32 million, which
• 1:33:16
  is 8 .2 million a year. You have a lot of tough
• 1:33:21
  decisions that you're going to have to make.
• 1:33:23
  this offseason, going into this season, as well
• 1:33:27
  as next season. So all in all, the Jaguars are
• 1:33:31
  at a crossroads. The Jaguars need to figure out
• 1:33:34
  exactly who they are while at the same time figure
• 1:33:38
  out... What can they do to clean themselves up
• 1:33:41
  to be more competitive, not only in their division,
• 1:33:45
  but as well as in the league and actually be
• 1:33:48
  taken seriously? Because I feel like a lot of
• 1:33:50
  times the Jaguars have been the laughingstock
• 1:33:52
  of the league because for the last, what, five
• 1:33:55
  to ten years, they're always one of the few teams
• 1:33:58
  that are always top five when it comes to the
• 1:34:00
  draft board. So hopefully that changes this season
• 1:34:05
  with the new head coach and whatnot. On to the
• 1:34:08
  Texans. Okay, so their salary, $5 .5 million
• 1:34:12
  with a rollover cap of $4 .8 million. Free agents,
• 1:34:16
  Shaq Mason, Robert Woods, Foley, Fotsky, if I'm
• 1:34:21
  not mistaken, Case Keenum, Jerry Hughes, Neville
• 1:34:24
  Hewitt, Irv Smith, Kadar Hallman, Miles Bryant,
• 1:34:28
  and Dalton Keene. So their draft picks, they
• 1:34:31
  got their first. They're second. They have two
• 1:34:33
  third -round picks. They don't have a fourth.
• 1:34:35
  They have a fifth. They don't have a sixth. And
• 1:34:37
  they have a seventh -round pick. Positions of
• 1:34:39
  need. Offensive line, wide receiver, D -tackle.
• 1:34:43
  So here's the thing. So you trade away Laramie
• 1:34:46
  Tunsell, and you brought in Cam Robinson. Like
• 1:34:50
  I said before, when we did the grades and whatnot
• 1:34:53
  for every single team, that was a downgrade.
• 1:34:56
  I feel like, at best, you probably should have
• 1:34:58
  just drafted one. Now, granted... you're not
• 1:35:02
  high enough to get one of those you know one
• 1:35:05
  of those blue chips when it comes to you know
• 1:35:09
  will campbell or calvin banks or any of those
• 1:35:11
  different types of guys but at the same time
• 1:35:13
  you still could draft one and you need to draft
• 1:35:18
  one because right now the number one problem
• 1:35:21
  with the texans was what the offensive line the
• 1:35:24
  offensive line was getting smothered Every single
• 1:35:27
  game and C .J. Stroud was fighting for his life.
• 1:35:30
  So at this point, you need to make it a priority
• 1:35:33
  to address the offensive line. I would not be
• 1:35:36
  surprised if they double dip at offensive line
• 1:35:38
  this draft class because right now. You did bring
• 1:35:43
  in Laken Thomason, which was pretty good. You
• 1:35:46
  still have Titus Howard, which is pretty good
• 1:35:49
  as well. But you still need to bolster up this
• 1:35:52
  offensive line even more. You still have to make
• 1:35:54
  it better. That is the only way that this team
• 1:35:58
  can go back to being what it was at least two
• 1:36:01
  years ago. Because right now, C .J. Stroud...
• 1:36:05
  Is that a point now where he could probably be
• 1:36:07
  the reason that they go to the AFC championship,
• 1:36:09
  that they go to the Super Bowl? But if you don't
• 1:36:14
  give him offensive line, that's not going to
• 1:36:16
  happen. Now, wide receiver. This one is a little
• 1:36:21
  bit hard for me to talk about only because of
• 1:36:24
  Tank Dell and his injury. He suffered a really
• 1:36:29
  bad leg injury and. On one hand, we all know
• 1:36:35
  he won't be available this season, but at the
• 1:36:38
  same time, this is like the second injury that
• 1:36:41
  he's had. And so you have to be a little bit
• 1:36:45
  concerned about it. And not to mention, we don't
• 1:36:49
  know how he's going to be after this injury because
• 1:36:52
  he basically tore every single ligament in his
• 1:36:56
  leg. Well, knee. He tore. his ACL, I think his
• 1:37:01
  MCL, I think he tore his meniscus as well. So
• 1:37:05
  on one hand, yes, you do need to address receiver,
• 1:37:09
  but do you need to address it high? No, because
• 1:37:11
  you have Christian Kirk and you still have everybody
• 1:37:14
  else as well. So I feel like you could get someone
• 1:37:17
  like a Jack Besch or Jaden Higgins or any of
• 1:37:21
  those day two or day three receivers. And I think
• 1:37:23
  that that still will be good. I feel like Jaden
• 1:37:26
  Higgins specifically. He has the upside to be
• 1:37:29
  a number one wide receiver, personally. But all
• 1:37:34
  in all, I think it's just a wait and see when
• 1:37:36
  it comes to the wide receiver position. Defensive
• 1:37:39
  line, as I've said before in all the other Divisional
• 1:37:42
  Rodeo episodes, you can address that day two
• 1:37:45
  if you really want to, right? You could bring
• 1:37:48
  in... Alfred Collins or Jordan Phillips or Darius
• 1:37:52
  Alexander or Aeneas Pebbles or JJ Pegasus or
• 1:37:56
  Yaya Black or any of those different types of
• 1:37:59
  defensive linemen, you can do that because the
• 1:38:02
  more dangerous you make this defensive line,
• 1:38:05
  the less that you have to worry about when it
• 1:38:08
  comes to everybody else's role on the team. Because
• 1:38:12
  right now, you have a two -headed monster in
• 1:38:14
  Will Anderson and Daniil Hunter. If you continue
• 1:38:17
  to build off of that, you could potentially have
• 1:38:20
  one of the most dangerous defensive lines in
• 1:38:23
  the entire league. Just saying. Now, this is
• 1:38:28
  going to be a little bit of a shocker, but I
• 1:38:29
  don't have anything for candidates for restructure,
• 1:38:32
  extension, trays, or cuts. Now, originally, I
• 1:38:34
  was going to put Derek Stingley, but that was
• 1:38:36
  before he got his deal. But right now, the Texans
• 1:38:41
  are in a situation where, yes, they are still
• 1:38:44
  competitive, but time is ticking. And the reason
• 1:38:49
  why I say that is because we all know once it's
• 1:38:52
  time to pay a quarterback, things get a little
• 1:38:54
  bit limited. And we all know that they also have
• 1:38:58
  Will Anderson that they're going to have to pay
• 1:38:59
  as well. And you won't be able to pay him like
• 1:39:02
  a pass rusher, too. You may have to pay him like
• 1:39:04
  a pass rusher one. All right. Not to mention
• 1:39:08
  the team is still fairly young. They still have
• 1:39:12
  to go through their bumps and their bruises.
• 1:39:14
  But all in all, they are still a really good
• 1:39:16
  team. Had the refs not cheated them, because
• 1:39:20
  they did, I don't care what anyone says, I don't
• 1:39:22
  care what any of you Chiefs fans say, had the
• 1:39:25
  refs not cheated the Texans last year in the
• 1:39:28
  playoffs, I feel like we probably would have
• 1:39:31
  saw something special. But I think the number
• 1:39:34
  one takeaway for this offseason for the Texans
• 1:39:36
  is you have to prioritize taking care of C .J.
• 1:39:40
  Stroud, and that starts with the offensive line.
• 1:39:43
  If you do not do anything else, if all of your
• 1:39:45
  draft picks are offensive linemen, I would not
• 1:39:47
  care because right now you have to protect C
• 1:39:51
  .J. Stroud. C .J. Stroud took too much of a beating
• 1:39:54
  last season and you don't want to continue to
• 1:39:57
  be a recurring problem with him. Now on to the
• 1:40:01
  final team, the Titans. Your salary, $36 million
• 1:40:06
  with a rollover cap of $14 .7 million. Your free
• 1:40:09
  agents, Harold Landry, Mason Rudolph, Nick Westbrook,
• 1:40:12
  Luke Gifford, Ryan Stonehouse, Jerome Baker,
• 1:40:15
  Jack Gibbons, Jadobe Woozie, Aquandre Diggs,
• 1:40:17
  Tyler Boyd, Nick Vanette, Daniel Brunskill, Nick
• 1:40:21
  Folk, Daryl Worley, Justin Hardy, and James Lynch,
• 1:40:24
  just to name a few. So your draft picks, we all
• 1:40:28
  know, we know, we know, we know, all right? So
• 1:40:33
  they got their first or second. They don't have
• 1:40:35
  a third. They have two fourth round picks. They
• 1:40:38
  have two fifth round picks and they have a sixth
• 1:40:41
  and a seventh round pick. All right. So positions
• 1:40:43
  of need, quarterback, wide receiver, edge, safety,
• 1:40:46
  kicker. OK, and this was this was prior to, you
• 1:40:50
  know, free agency and whatnot. So here's the
• 1:40:53
  thing. We all know that most likely they're going
• 1:40:56
  to choose Cam Ward at number one. Perfectly fine.
• 1:41:00
  But it's what you do after that that matters
• 1:41:03
  the most because right now you really need to
• 1:41:06
  build up this offense more. Sure, you have Tony
• 1:41:08
  Pollard. Sure, you have Calvin Ridley. But you
• 1:41:11
  still need more at this point. And I feel like
• 1:41:14
  they need to probably get at least maybe one
• 1:41:17
  to two receivers in this draft as well as another
• 1:41:19
  tight end. Because right now, Cam Ward is going
• 1:41:23
  to need all the help that he can get at this
• 1:41:26
  point. Sure, the offensive line, to me, I feel
• 1:41:29
  like it's really good. You have Lloyd Cushenberry,
• 1:41:31
  you have Kevin Zeidler, you have JC Latham, you
• 1:41:33
  have Peter Skowronski, and then you have Dan
• 1:41:35
  Moore as well. All really good signings. But
• 1:41:38
  now I'm for you to add more, all right? You need
• 1:41:42
  more receivers. You need just more weapons as
• 1:41:45
  a whole. Maybe even more running backs as well.
• 1:41:48
  Now when we look at edge. I feel like you could
• 1:41:52
  address that in the later parts of the draft.
• 1:41:54
  I still feel like there are some hidden gems
• 1:41:56
  at edge. There's an edge rusher actually from
• 1:41:59
  SMU that I haven't had a chance to look at that
• 1:42:03
  apparently he's actually pretty good. Within
• 1:42:05
  the last two seasons, I think he had like 18
• 1:42:07
  and a half sacks together. Pretty good. So I'm
• 1:42:09
  probably going to check him out there. I'll let
• 1:42:11
  you guys know about him. But safety. This one
• 1:42:14
  is a little bit tricky, okay? Because me personally,
• 1:42:16
  you know, I love Malachi Starks, you know, E
• 1:42:20
  -Man, Xavier Watts. Who else? Who else? Who else?
• 1:42:24
  Who else? Who else? Malachi Moore from Alabama.
• 1:42:27
  Like, you have options at safety. This safety
• 1:42:29
  class, believe it or not, is a sleeper. That's
• 1:42:31
  not getting a whole lot of attention that it
• 1:42:33
  probably should. I feel like, and this is my
• 1:42:36
  personal opinion, if they drafted a safety high,
• 1:42:40
  to replace potentially Armani Hooker, if they
• 1:42:45
  don't pay him, I still feel like that's a pretty
• 1:42:47
  good move. Just saying. We can debate about it,
• 1:42:50
  but just saying. Now, Kicker, you can address
• 1:42:55
  that sixth or seventh round. You can just sign
• 1:42:58
  somebody, honestly. But when we look at candidates
• 1:43:00
  for restructure, extensions, trades, and cuts...
• 1:43:04
  uh armani hooker extension question mark okay
• 1:43:07
  his market value is three years 1 .2 million
• 1:43:10
  which is 17 .1 million a year do you really want
• 1:43:14
  to pay that with this safety class probably not
• 1:43:18
  i may be a little bit more skeptical i'll give
• 1:43:20
  him an offer but i'm not going to like you know
• 1:43:23
  fight for him or anything no not when you have
• 1:43:27
  Nick Emanwari, Malachi Starks, Malachi Moore,
• 1:43:31
  Xavier Watts, Sebastian Castro, all these other
• 1:43:35
  safeties that you have. There's no need for you
• 1:43:37
  to want to go out your way to pay for a money
• 1:43:40
  hooker, but that's your decision. Arden Key,
• 1:43:43
  possible extension. His market value, three years,
• 1:43:47
  $40 .6 million, which is $13 .5 million a year.
• 1:43:50
  All in all, I feel like this is a very young
• 1:43:54
  team that's still trying to find its way. It's
• 1:43:57
  gone through a lot of changes. So, of course,
• 1:43:59
  it's going to go through its bumps and its bruises.
• 1:44:01
  But I think stabilizing the quarterback position
• 1:44:03
  would definitely help substantially. And I feel
• 1:44:07
  like once you do that, everything else would
• 1:44:09
  just fall into place. Now, do I feel like they
• 1:44:13
  could probably make some more significant moves
• 1:44:15
  to probably bolster things up a little bit more?
• 1:44:17
  For sure. But I think getting Dan Moore was pretty
• 1:44:22
  good. I understand there's a lot of people that
• 1:44:26
  probably feel some type of way about it, but
• 1:44:27
  for him to be able to hold his own against people
• 1:44:30
  like Trey Hendrickson and Miles Garrett and company
• 1:44:33
  definitely says a lot. So all in all, the Titans,
• 1:44:37
  you're going to go through your bumps and your
• 1:44:38
  bruises, like I just said, but you're going to
• 1:44:40
  be fine as long as you do the right thing. Now,
• 1:44:45
  this is a theory. Well, not really a theory,
• 1:44:47
  but this is an idea that I have. Walk with me,
• 1:44:49
  all right? We're going to take this walk. Just
• 1:44:52
  act like we're walking, all right? So what if
• 1:44:55
  you trade the first pick with the idea that you
• 1:44:59
  possibly get Archie Manning next year? Boom.
• 1:45:02
  I'll let you think about that in the next episode.
• 1:45:04
  But I'm going to end this episode here. If you

  rodeo with your team, okay? Let me know if I'm
• 1:45:46
  right, wrong, indifferent, whatever, and just
• 1:45:48
  explain it to me, all right? Let's have a healthy
• 1:45:50
  conversation, okay? Now, for my YouTube people,
• 1:45:53
  Football Junkies Pod, okay? Football Junkies
• 1:45:56
  Pod. When you go on there, there is a link tree.
• 1:45:58
  When you click on that link tree, it will take
• 1:46:00
  you to anywhere and everywhere that we have Football
• 1:46:02
  Junkies content. Now for my TikTok people, okay?
• 1:46:06
  Football Junkies Pod, all right? Football Junkies
• 1:46:08
  Pod. Most likely, once the divisional rodeo is
• 1:46:12
  done and I have me a little bit of time, I will
• 1:46:14
  probably start working on clips for all of the
• 1:46:17
  divisional rodeo episodes as well as episodes
• 1:46:19
  prior to that. All right. Now, for my Instagram
• 1:46:23
  people, football underscore junkies pod. OK,
• 1:46:26
  football underscore junkies pod. Junkies pod
• 1:46:28
  is not what? It is together, not space. OK, it
• 1:46:35
  is together, not. Spaced, all right? It is together,
• 1:46:40
  not spaced. Football underscore junkies pod.

  you guys the fix that you guys need. I love you
• 1:46:57
  guys. I appreciate you guys so much. I know I
• 1:46:59
  was supposed to put out this episode last week,
• 1:47:01
  but I had a lot of stuff going on and I had to
• 1:47:04
  really... do a deep dive when it comes to the
• 1:47:07
  grades and the analysis of all the free agency
• 1:47:10
  moves with all 32 teams. So I appreciate your
• 1:47:14
  patience. But as always, I love you guys. I appreciate
• 1:47:17
  you guys so much. We are close to almost 700
• 1:47:20
  downloads, guys. We're almost to 700 downloads.
• 1:47:23
  And we're not too far away from 80 episodes as
• 1:47:26
  well. So stay tuned. The summer is only going
• 1:47:29
  to get better. It's only going to get better
• 1:47:31
