Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL

0:06

in partnership with iHeartRadio.

0:22

Good Morning Football.

0:24

All right, well, welcome back to Good

0:27

Morning Football. I'm Jane Slater and we are

0:29

thrilled to be with Jace mccordy and Kyle Brant

0:31

and Peter Schrager. Let's just go ahead and get

0:33

right into it. We were trained into a

0:35

six pack of quarterbacks.

0:37

Pretty interesting.

0:38

Let's get into it. Let's recap it.

0:41

With the first pick in the twenty twenty

0:43

four NFL brand.

0:44

Chicago Bear select Caleb Williams

0:48

Caleb Rose on the wrong.

0:49

Touchtow he is

0:51

the first quarterback in the country.

0:54

Washington Commander select Jayden Daniel

0:57

Good and.

0:58

There he goes again, Jana and Daniels.

1:00

He he's got another touchdown.

1:02

The New England Patriots select.

1:03

Drake May taking

1:06

a shot.

1:08

The Alena Falcons like Michael

1:10

wow Junior.

1:12

Lofside Pedix touchdown,

1:14

Michael Fannix, j J.

1:16

McCarthy party on

1:18

the round.

1:20

Bone Knicks.

1:21

Six quarterbacks in the first dozen

1:24

picks, Bone Nicks, you have me six,

1:30

all right.

1:30

I gotta ask you and we'll start with you, Peter. Which

1:32

rookie quarterback situation is the most intriguing.

1:35

I saw a really funny thing on Twitter. It was a Sports

1:37

Illustrated cover and it was people

1:39

trying to side if Cam Newton, Jake Locker,

1:41

or Blaine Gabbert were going to be the guys.

1:43

We put so much stock into these rookie

1:46

quarterbacks, so many expectations, especially when

1:48

they're picked so high in the first round. Which

1:50

one stands out to you the most.

1:51

Let's go from the back to the front on

1:53

this one. I'm gonna go with the twelfth overall

1:55

pick in the last of the quarterbacks.

1:57

No, that would be bone Nicks, who I had

2:00

in my mock draft yesterday, going

2:02

to the Denver Broncos twelfth overall and got a lot

2:04

of pushback saying, well they like

2:06

him, sure, but they're gonna trade back

2:08

and they'll they'll move back and then they'll get bon

2:10

Nicks. I'll tell you this, Sean Payton

2:13

was not getting cute here. Sean Payton wanted

2:15

bo Nicks, and when he was still on the board at twelve,

2:17

they made the pick and they were happy with it. Here's

2:20

so many stories about combine visits

2:22

and pro days and Top thirty visits. Peyton

2:25

wanted to test the metal of Bo

2:28

Nicks's ability to

2:30

devise a game plan and be able to

2:33

comprehend what his offense was.

2:35

When they had their workout with bo Nicks

2:37

the night before, they offered him three

2:40

different sheets of paper with a bunch of different

2:42

concepts.

2:43

They said, you can study this and then we're gonna

2:45

want to.

2:45

Quiz you on it. The next day, Nicks came.

2:47

In and had it and was absolutely nails.

2:50

Sean Payton talking to him last night, he said,

2:52

look, Shrake's he's the most accurate

2:55

quarterback in college football history.

2:57

That's what we're getting here. He's the guy that I think

2:59

I can run my offense with. And oh, by

3:01

the way, we still have Zach Wilson, we

3:03

still have Jared Stidham. It's going

3:06

to obviously be an interesting room of young

3:08

quarterback. I find it interesting that Nicks,

3:10

who played six years of college

3:13

ball, started sixty one different

3:15

college games, and his most accurate

3:17

quarterback, well, he's taken twelfth overall,

3:19

and people are like, they reach, they

3:21

reached. Look like we talked about with Pennix,

3:24

if you need a quarterback, if you want a quarterback,

3:26

it's really your own value because it is

3:28

by far the most important position on a

3:31

team. So they didn't trade back. They take him

3:33

at twelve. And I'll tell you the Broncos are ecstatic

3:35

to have bo Nix as their quarterback.

3:36

It's very exciting to answer Wes. It's going to be a rock and roll

3:39

next year. Let's talk about Drake May.

3:41

Let's do it, because all we heard about was the Patriots

3:43

may trade back.

3:44

They may trade back, they may not do it, they may go jj

3:46

this. They took Drake May.

3:47

There was a no doubt of the first three pictures went bang,

3:50

bang bang. You know what's so fun about this time right now

3:52

for us in the media is we did a lot of crossover

3:54

with ESPN.

3:55

A lot of NFL Network, ESPN Love.

3:57

I was watching Reheese Davis the other day, So

4:00

Reece Davis is sitting out with Rich and Rich

4:02

just says, you know what has your interest in the draft, and

4:04

Rees Daevisuno is probably more about college football

4:06

anybody alive, says, whoever drafts Drake

4:08

May wins the draft.

4:10

That's it.

4:10

He is the guy. I've never seen anything like it.

4:12

He was doing backflips for

4:14

Drake May, who, frankly, I think in the context

4:17

of this class has been a little

4:19

under celebrated because there's so many other shiny

4:21

objects that Patriot get

4:23

Drake May and I think Peter, I think they get him in

4:25

this nice time for May. Where's it's not post Brady,

4:28

that's all over. This is not Jay Field, liber

4:30

Payson Marino is a fresh start, fresh

4:33

coach. This is not the Belichick Patriots. It

4:35

is a huge, strong, corn

4:37

fed athlete. Now the

4:39

weapons are concerning, He's gonna walk in

4:42

there, He's gonna have to dodge this, dodge that, or maybe

4:44

Jacoby versettis play. I don't even know, but

4:46

I like that the Patriots made it desertively obviously,

4:49

you said Sean Payton, Lake Boonick Rod Mayo

4:51

liked Drake May and they have a new quarterback

4:53

in Foxborough.

4:54

He's huge, he's strong, and.

4:55

My favorite term this draft season has been big

4:58

game hunter.

4:59

Do you think the Patriots need a little big game hunting?

5:01

They were shut out twice last year at

5:03

home. We got big game hunter in New England. I

5:05

think it's very exciting.

5:07

It is very exciting.

5:08

Drake May is a guy that they fell in love with and we're

5:10

very comfortable taking him at three, assuming

5:13

that Jayden Dams were going second off the board,

5:15

and to your point, Kyle, I fully expect Jr. Kobe

5:17

Brissett to be the guy early on there

5:19

in New England as they continue to build

5:21

that roster around the quarterback position

5:24

before Drake May gets his opportunity to

5:26

get out there and play. I'm looking sure

5:28

you start all the way at the end in Bowl Nicks. I'm going

5:30

to JJ McCarthy in Minnesota because

5:32

this was a guy, a prospect that we all

5:34

talked about leading up to the draft and there were so many

5:37

questions about his production, what

5:39

he was actually do at Michigan.

5:40

Well, he's a.

5:41

Winner in tangible all of these things.

5:43

Does that result in him.

5:45

Being a cold football quarterback

5:47

that can go out there and win you games.

5:49

JJ McCarthy doesn't go in the top five.

5:51

He ends up going tenth to the Minnesota

5:54

FI because we move up just one spot to get him

5:56

there. For JJ McCarthy, you talk about intriguing

5:58

situations, how about getting drafted to the NFL

6:00

and having Justin Jefferson on one side, Jordan

6:03

Addison Hawkinson when he gets

6:05

healthy, and then oh yeah, we're going to bring in Aaron Jones

6:07

at the running back spot.

6:08

But what he was able to do at Michigan.

6:10

Now you give him a team that's loaded with guys

6:13

on the offense and his play caller and Kevin

6:15

O'Connell is huge. And what I love

6:17

when he got drafted is listening to the phone call

6:19

between him and Adophie Mensa

6:21

and also Kevin O'Connell talking about

6:23

him becoming their new quarterback. Yes, Sam Darnold's

6:26

there, but a lot of belief in JJ McCarthy.

6:29

He told those coaches, I promise you one

6:31

thing. If you brought me there, we were going

6:33

to win. And that's what JJ McCarthy has

6:35

represented. Let's see if he can do it in Minnesota.

6:38

Who's the team and who's the quarterback that you're rolling with.

6:40

I love all of your picks, I mean Bo Nicks when

6:42

we talk about JJ McCarthy, Drake May,

6:44

but I'm going with Caleb Williams. I know that seems

6:46

a little obvious, guys, but I'm going with him for a

6:48

little bit of a different reason. Typically, when you're

6:50

picking a guy number one overall, he's coming

6:53

in with not a lot of things in the cupboard, right,

6:55

Imagine this situation. Maybe you guys can

6:57

help me with a little bit of football history here, but

6:59

I can't think of a time where you've seen a quarterback

7:02

drafted number one overall walk into

7:04

with a guy like DeAndre Swift, Khalil Herbert,

7:07

DJ Moore, Keenan Allen Cole

7:09

commit. He's not walking into a

7:11

rebuild like guys like Trevor Lawrence, Zach

7:13

Wilson, Bryce Young, held justin Field,

7:16

Troy Aitman.

7:17

I have talked about this in years past.

7:18

You know, he talked about how brutal

7:21

his first two years in Dallas. So while

7:23

I's exciting it, imagine the pressure and expectations

7:26

when you're in your own thoughts are overwhelming. Most

7:28

competitors will say they love it, but it

7:30

is a lot of pressure. I do like

7:33

that. We heard one of his responses was when

7:35

it was you know, after you won the Heisman,

7:37

after you know, you did what you did with USC,

7:39

after going number one and overall in the draft, what

7:42

is your next line of

7:44

business? And he said to get to know all of

7:46

his teammates' names and their family members. And so

7:48

I think it's the right approach. It's the way to

7:50

endear yourself to the locker

7:52

room. But I am going to be really interested to see how this

7:54

plays out, because we should all expect him

7:56

to do great, but sometimes me and those expectations

7:59

are a little overwhelming.

8:00

It's true. And listen, I feel like we haven't heard from Bryce

8:02

Young since last year. You know what I'm saying. We were we

8:04

were covering the draft last year.

8:06

Same reaction.

8:07

Yeah, it's exciting we got him, but then what he showed

8:09

up for was very difficult. I think

8:11

Jane makes a great point that this.

8:13

Is not some terrible reth

8:15

of talent bears teams like Caleb walks

8:17

in and let's drive this thing now. I have

8:19

a lot of thoughts personally and what Caleb

8:22

means to Chicago.

8:23

He shows up in a loaded huddle,

8:25

just ready to rock.

8:26

And roll real quick. We started the show with Pennix,

8:28

where we've talked a lot about Pennix might have

8:30

been a shocking pick of all, but he's probably

8:32

not going to see the field right away. A lot of

8:34

these guys and you know they're gonna have to

8:36

figure it out, and Drake may is gonna probably wait behind their

8:38

trade.

8:39

But like bow Knicks could win that job.

8:40

He has played sixty one

8:42

college games and basically should have been a

8:44

four year player in the NFL already, and I think it's the same

8:47

age Aszach Wilson, Like there's gonna be expectation for all

8:49

of these guys. Caleb Williams right out of the shoot, like

8:51

you're starting day one, let's go.

8:53

We think, Jen, he's got to be out there and it's going to

8:55

be so much fun to watch.

8:56

And Jane, you said it.

8:57

He talked about caring about the people that are

8:59

going to be in that organization.

9:00

But he also got Rollma Dunes.

9:02

They had Nomber nine, and we talked about what they were going to go

9:04

and what they were going to do. They got another

9:06

receiver for him to go alongside

9:09

what we talked about in Keenan Allen and Dj

9:11

Moore. So it doesn't get any better

9:13

than that. And you talk about in the first round,

9:15

we said six quarterbacks go in the first twelve

9:18

picks. All six of them aren't going to

9:20

be fantastic football players, hall of famers

9:22

and.

9:22

All of that.

9:23

So it's really hard to say, all right, this guy's

9:25

going to be successful.

9:26

We have no idea what's going to happen.

9:28

But at the same time, it's awesome

9:30

to see Caleb Williams in the situation

9:32

that he's walking into and the weapons that he's going

9:35

to have around him, and a Bear team that

9:37

caught fire later in the season whose

9:39

defense was absolutely rolling as well.

9:41

I look at it this with Caleb and it's like

9:43

you've got to do and today. But you also add in Keenan Allen,

9:45

which you mentioned, you have DJ Moore, you have all

9:47

this stuff, that situation in the NFC North

9:50

for Caleb. If it doesn't succeed,

9:53

like they're gonna be expectations. This

9:55

isn't one of those where's Bryce Young and they are right

9:57

Carolina Chicago Bears.

9:59

So to me, this is all those solid It's

10:02

not going to be easy.

10:03

You can't have like the starter season where you're like

10:05

six and eleven. I will say this though, seven and five

10:07

last year at USC, like that might have been the best thing

10:09

for Caleb and this whole

10:11

pre draft process where people were tearing him down a bit,

10:14

because I almost would rather have a quarterback who's

10:16

been through a little bit adversity like Michael Pennix

10:18

with the knees and the whole like, Okay,

10:20

he's been there.

10:21

JJ McCarthy. We could do flips and everything

10:23

twenty seven and one, has never lost the game. It's

10:25

been this thing, smile, the Michigan man, the whole

10:27

thing. He's never had that seven and five season.

10:30

He's never had that that brutal have to overcome.

10:32

So all these guy situations are interesting, and for

10:34

Caleb Bllliams think the best thing that might have happened was

10:37

a seven and five season last year where people were trashing

10:39

them throughout the entire campaign.

10:40

And it's what we do.

10:41

We will always compare JJ and

10:43

Caleb, same draft class, same division, but.

10:45

At least twice a year. That's just what we

10:47

do.

10:48

Ten years from no, I'll be like, man, that guy

10:50

really won that one.

10:51

Maybe it's JJ. I don't know, But right now the

10:53

Caleb thing's very exciting. The video of him and a

10:55

Duneese like really cool.

10:56

That could be all timer or it could be all time

10:58

freezing cold takes. We don't know, but we have it. We're

11:00

gonna be seeing that for years.

11:02

I know it's hard for you and our boy, big

11:05

Cat. You guys are long suffering

11:07

Bears fans. Matt Eberflus

11:09

and Ryan Poles have really been through it. But

11:12

now there's this excitement we saw I mean, I don't

11:14

know if you guys saw the mock ups for the new stadium

11:16

right there on the lake with that incredible view

11:19

of downtown. My brother lives in Chicago, so I got

11:21

a free place to say to go check those things out.

11:23

But it's so fun to see some optimism

11:25

around that team.

11:26

You know what market. So I can't

11:28

hide money.

11:29

I can't hide mine because I don't have any guys.

11:34

It's like, where are they going to park at that stadium?

11:36

It's like, well, there's boat docks right there.

11:38

My brother's yat off.

11:39

We're good.

11:43

I wish

11:57

morning.

12:00

Every year we go through and it's called the Frenzy.

12:02

I like to hashtag my tweets regn

12:04

zy. And there's a flury of moves and sometimes

12:07

you're like, so many moves are happening at once, how

12:09

do I keep track? Some

12:11

moves on paper, you say, that's

12:14

great, they don't work out. Others they

12:17

do. I am gonna

12:19

go position by position in some key spots

12:21

and give you my free agent all

12:24

fit team. What's that mean? The players

12:27

who I think landed in the perfect spots.

12:30

And I'm gonna start with the quarterback position. My

12:32

best fit for any of the free agent quarterbacks.

12:35

Is a guy who's going back to where he played last year.

12:38

I think Baker Mayfield staying put in Tampa

12:40

Bay is a home run. This

12:43

was awesome. Last year, the Buccaneers had

12:45

no expectations. It was the post Tom

12:47

Brady era. Mike Evans was saying before the season,

12:49

he's done negotiating, He'll be somewhere

12:51

else at the end of the season. And yet Baker Mayfield

12:54

comes in and completely turns

12:56

things around. They started out red hot. They beat

12:58

the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota in Week

13:00

one. Then they went through a loll They lost

13:03

a bunch of games in a row, like the bloom

13:05

was off the rose. And then Baker found

13:07

a way to get to that second gear and get

13:09

them not only in the playoffs, but then to win

13:12

a playoff game. Baker Mayfield

13:14

an awesome Tampa Bay buccaneer. He

13:17

fits the culture of the team perfectly.

13:19

He's got all the weapons around him with

13:21

Godwin and Evans and the young running

13:23

back for Shad White, and he goes back to

13:26

where he belongs. I said this earlier on. There was

13:28

a real chance that Baker was going somewhere else.

13:30

There were some hairy moments in these negotiations

13:32

where Baker said, I want to test my market

13:34

on on the value on the market. I want to see

13:37

what I'm worth, and if you're not going to pay me x, I

13:39

might entertain those offers. Well.

13:41

Right before the start of the legal tampering

13:44

window, the Buccaneers made sure to keep

13:46

their guy in Tampa. I love this fit

13:48

for Baker, I love this fit for the Buccaneers.

13:51

I'm so happy that it continues for at

13:53

least the next couple of years. Quarterback

13:55

best fit out of all these signings is the guy who went

13:57

back to where he was. It's Baker

14:00

Mayfield. Next up

14:02

is the running back position. This one week,

14:04

give me Derek Henry Lamar Jackson in a back up. I know

14:07

this is gonna work. I know this is gonna be sensational.

14:09

And I thought on Monday it was wild running

14:11

back going here, running back going here, running back going there,

14:14

And then on Tuesday I

14:16

think this is such an awesome fit. I

14:19

think it's the team. I think

14:21

it's the culture of that team. I also

14:23

think it's the city. This is a team

14:25

that has gotten so close the

14:27

last few years. The Baltimore Ravens

14:30

they were the hottest team in football in nineteen. This

14:32

guy crushed their dreams. We go back four

14:34

years later, they get back to the Big Dance.

14:36

They win their playoff game against Houston. They

14:39

then host the Chiefs and they

14:41

completely abandon the run in the second

14:43

half. Are they abandoning the run? If this guy's

14:45

at running back, I'm not so sure. I

14:47

love Derek Henry as a player. I think he's a future

14:49

Hall of Famer. I really do think he's the best running

14:51

back of his generation. And you might say,

14:54

yeah, well look at McCaffrey. Now, yeah, McCaffrey, Now

14:56

you're talking about since twenty eighteen,

14:58

this guy has been putting a big season after

15:01

big season, and does he still have anything left

15:03

in the tank. Last year, in the final

15:05

game of the Titan season, next Gen

15:07

stats clocked this guy. He had a run

15:09

that was twenty two miles per hour. Still

15:11

go, He could still move, and he can still give

15:14

you that stiff arm right to the face. I love

15:16

this look. Sakwan goes to the Eagles,

15:18

We'll see Tony Poller to the Titans,

15:21

We'll see I love this fit. And

15:23

if Derrick Henry can get a Super Bowl ring

15:25

with Lamar Jackson by his side. How

15:28

cool would that be for one of the greatest running

15:30

backs of all Peter? How great is it gonna be?

15:32

The team intros in Baltimore? Like, I think you just

15:34

sent Lamar and Derek out of the tunnel and that's

15:36

it.

15:37

Like close, let's go, Let's

15:39

go down to the offensive line. Jonah

15:42

Jackson signing with the La

15:44

Rams is my call. I

15:47

love this dude right here, big boy number seventy

15:49

three goes to the raisbies. Like, who's Jonah

15:52

Jackson? Is just a wall, just

15:54

an enormous offensive guard. And

15:57

I was talking to the Rams guys after the signing

16:00

was announced. Here's the deal. It's

16:02

his fifth NFL season, all right.

16:04

He's six ' four, three hundred and

16:07

twenty pounds. He gave up just two total

16:09

sacks his last two years. And they have

16:11

him on one side, and they've got Dots

16:13

in the other guard who they got from Pittsburgh on the

16:15

other. And with the center, that's a thousand

16:18

pounds of just giant men

16:21

ready to maul and create holes

16:23

for Kieren Williams. And oh yeah, by the way,

16:25

keeping Matthew Stafford up

16:28

straight. Jonah Jackson had a big market.

16:30

He chooses to go to the Rams,

16:32

not a household name, and yet you look what

16:34

the Lion's success was. A lot of that had

16:36

to do with not only Pinney Sewell, not

16:38

only to do with Taylor Decker, but the guys inside.

16:41

Jonah Jackson was amazing last year for

16:43

them. It's been a very good Lion. He's had some injuries

16:45

at times, but I think with the Rams you're

16:47

gonna see immediate results. I love the fit.

16:50

Just keep Matthew Stafford upright and give the Rams

16:52

a chance to breathe. All right, next

16:54

position, we're going defense, and I'm

16:56

going the best fit for all the defensive

16:59

line inside guys is going

17:01

to be Christian Wilkins to the Raiders. I said it yesterday.

17:03

Has ever been a more Raiders signing

17:06

than Christian Wilkins. Antonio Pierce comes

17:08

out, He's like, we're going back to the Raiders' way. We're going back

17:10

to Al Davis. Might have to go

17:12

back to some things that you know, might be a little

17:15

bit unsavory at times for our opponents.

17:17

Well guess what that is? What he's all about.

17:20

He's a tremendous player, Don't get it wrong.

17:22

He is a tremendous player. He's also a tremendous

17:24

agitator. He loves getting under

17:26

your skin. Josh Allen's spoken about it.

17:29

Plenty of people who have been in this building on

17:31

our show have talked about it. It is a pain

17:33

in the butt to face Christian Wilkins. And

17:35

then he's going to do something afterwards, some extracurriculars

17:38

to get in your head. He Max

17:40

Crosby, Tyree Wilson.

17:43

We're talking. You've got the big boy inside.

17:45

You've got all of these guys that are coming

17:47

together, and all of a sudden, the Raiders defensive

17:49

line is one of the best in football.

17:52

Love what the Raiders did. And Jason, you so smartly

17:54

mentioned this yesterday. He goes to Vegas

17:57

and you're like, all right, took the money. He goes

17:59

to Vegas. I guess no. His

18:01

best season was with Patrick Graham as his defensive

18:03

coordinator in Miami. There's a familiarity

18:05

there. Patrick Graham is now the defensive coordinator

18:08

in Vegas. I love the fit. Christian

18:10

Wilkins. Congratulations, he got paid and

18:12

I think he went to the perfect place. All

18:15

right, So that's the How about d M? How

18:17

about off the Edge?

18:18

What you got.

18:18

How about our guy, Brian Burns. I gotta say

18:20

I went big yesterday. Giants fans are like hitting

18:23

me up, like really, really, Brian burg You're talking about

18:25

Brian Burns like he was Lawrence Taylor. I got, maybe

18:27

I went a little overboard, but you see

18:29

some of the moves that Brian Burns has off the

18:32

edge, and the fact that he's only twenty five years

18:34

old, and now you say you're putting him on a defense

18:36

with Thibodeau on one side, with Dexter

18:38

Lawrence in the middle, and the opportunities

18:41

are endless. Brian Burns to the Giants

18:43

a fantastic fit. Brian

18:46

Burns fits that New York Giants mantra

18:48

of let's stop the run, let's get to the quarterback,

18:50

let's run the ball, and let's win some

18:53

football games in the trenches. They've gotten away

18:55

from that in recent years. Burns brings that

18:57

there's been footage online. Go on your

18:59

Twitter and go on Instagram Burns'

19:01

spin moves. This guy is a technician.

19:04

And again I mentioned this, he is only

19:06

twenty five years old.

19:09

I thought this was a major bargain what they

19:11

got him for a second and a fifth and yes, they paid

19:13

him the money, but to me for

19:16

what the Rams were offering to get Brian Burns

19:18

a couple of years ago, and now for what the Giants

19:20

got him for. Hey, don't blame

19:22

him for Carolina struggles. The last two seasons.

19:25

That team has been an absolute mess. Brian

19:27

Burns, he has never said a bad word about that

19:29

franchise and he has been awesome. Bring him to the Big

19:31

Apple. Let's see him do some work, all right,

19:34

now, the linebacker spot. And after

19:36

all that rumors of like is he going to Seattle

19:38

where he's gonna be with Mike McDonald Patrick

19:41

Queen signs with the Steelers, really,

19:43

really the Steelers and I kind of like

19:46

it. You're not gonna pay me, put me on the

19:48

franchise tag, all this stuff. Let

19:50

me go to our arch rivals and

19:52

let me face you two times a year. But beyond

19:54

that, to be able to play with

19:56

not only TJ. Watt, but to play with high

19:58

Smith as well. And now you put him in the middle. And there's

20:01

such a rich tradition of

20:03

middle linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

20:06

You go through the years, whether it be the Lambert

20:08

and Ham era or even recently with Levon

20:10

Kirkland and Jason Gilden and all those guys

20:13

in the linebacker position. There is such a rich

20:15

tradition of great linebacker

20:17

play in Pittsburgh. Patrick Queen so

20:20

happy for him. He finally gets paid and he gets

20:22

his respect. Guys, I go to you at

20:24

the table. It's my all fit team. Guys

20:26

that just made sense and teams that made

20:28

sense for them. I love it.

20:30

And you start out that quarterback position. Baker

20:32

Mayfield, he stays home. Now, Kirk Cousins,

20:34

he joins the division. I'm fascinated

20:36

to see which team comes out of

20:38

that division for the playoff. Those two are going to match

20:41

up twice a year. I can't wait to see those two.

20:42

All agitator team might go to

20:45

the Raiders defensively, it is a little terrifying

20:47

to consider the Tyrie Wilson. Is it kind of a blank

20:49

slate when it comes to the NFL. Yet now the people that

20:51

are influencing his behavior in the field are Caryland

20:53

Wilkins at Max Crosby.

20:55

My god, yeah, and the guy inside is that guy Kootz

20:57

who I doesn't watch. Was a

20:59

mixed up last year. He showed up. They're super

21:01

excited guys. All fit team.

21:03

I love all of these fits for which one of these

21:05

is a very good job. We appreciate it. Good

21:12

morning football,
