1:29

app. Yeah

1:33

you're right no winners and losers but

1:35

we do have some perception some look

1:38

at some things here. So let's start with

1:40

the quarterbacks. There were six quarterbacks taken in

1:42

the first 12 picks which was crazy last night.

1:44

Let's talk about a couple of them that I

1:46

want to focus on and I think the first

1:48

one you all know which one it is. It's

1:50

number eight. The Falcons take Michael

1:53

Pinnock's junior which was I mean

1:56

otherworldly it was ridiculous.

1:58

Cousins. Apparently was not

2:01

alerted about the pick was both shocked and

2:03

disappointed Just like everyone watching the draft last

2:05

night the Falcons GM said if you believe

2:07

in a quarterback You have to take them

2:10

and if he sits for four or five

2:12

years, that's a great problem to have your

2:15

thought Yeah, it's not 1975. It doesn't

2:18

work that way anymore and second of all

2:21

I'm not gonna sit here and like bring

2:23

a tiny violin out for Kirk Cousins, but

2:25

he has a right to be annoyed He

2:27

signed there as a free agent this year.

2:30

This is not an established QB Who's been

2:32

there for 15 years and is at the

2:35

end of his deal It's not even Aaron

2:37

Rodgers where you don't know if he's gonna

2:39

come back right because he's a malchitan a

2:41

darkness retreat Whatever he's on it

2:43

to take the air the other day It's

2:46

a false equivalency to compare this to what

2:48

the Packers did when they drafted Jordan love

2:50

or what they did when they took Rodgers that

2:52

was it like pick 28. This

2:54

was the eighth overall pick in the

2:56

draft. It is indefensible

2:59

it is because You're

3:02

basically, you know what it is. It's

3:04

what cookies won it last year draft

3:06

and stash Yeah, and I

3:08

think I could blank wanted to kill font. No

3:10

in the room did that now it gets worse

3:13

David Because I'm glad you brought this up. This

3:15

is one of the things I wanted to add

3:18

Here's how it got worse, you know

3:20

what cousins was doing last night He

3:23

was at their little draft thing firing

3:25

up the crowd Hyping

3:27

them up. He had no idea No

3:31

about the cut him at the knees.

3:33

Yeah, he was out there like yeah

3:35

Falcons fans. Let's go ATL Oh

3:38

dear. Yeah Little

3:41

do you know cutscene? Life

3:43

imitating art we're seeing the real-life

3:45

version of any given Sunday just

3:48

indefensible David Wow

3:51

That's unbelievable. Let's touch on the Denver

3:53

Broncos here. Yeah, you must have missed

3:56

that tidbit when you were doing a

3:58

Steelers podcast break

4:00

down that offensive lineman. The Denver

4:02

Broncos took Bo Nicks at number

4:06

12 quote from their head coach you pay

4:08

close attention to all the film study obviously

4:11

he's played a lot of football

4:13

but he stood out in that

4:15

differential turnover differential he was first

4:18

first first in this QB class.

4:21

Also on that pick at 12. The subtitles

4:23

to that is he

4:25

was all that was left we got

4:28

to the picnic late and all that

4:30

was there was that cola just straight

4:32

up cola didn't say coca-pepsi just cola

4:34

so we had to take something. Potato

4:38

salad right it beats going hungry.

4:43

So what if it has raisins in it? Well

4:45

did you see the other comment he goes this

4:48

is the most excited I've been about a quarterback

4:50

prospect since Pat Mahomes. Sean

4:52

Payton is on that ooey. You

4:54

know just come on man don't bleep on my head

4:56

and tell me it's right. He's also the same person

4:58

that said he can you know work with Russell Wilson

5:00

too. Look it's a quarterback

5:03

desperation move. I'm

5:05

not a Bo Nicks fan so like I'm not

5:07

gonna change my opinion now. Go ahead David. It

5:09

was it was simply yeah we got to take

5:11

a quarterback. Well let me

5:13

it leads me to a question here because

5:15

six quarterback. You asked this question on the

5:17

national radio show you did last night. No

5:19

no at that point David who

5:22

was your pick for a quarterback when it

5:24

came to either Russell or Justin. Six

5:28

quarterbacks in the first 12. They

5:31

jumped in I mean they're getting Bo

5:33

Nicks Michael Pinnix Jr. Does that tell

5:35

you anything about next year's draft class

5:37

at quarterback? We got Shador Sanders, Jalen

5:39

Milrow, Quinn Ubers. Do they not believe

5:41

in these guys? I don't believe in

5:43

Shador Sanders at all and I think

5:45

his father is a horrific influence on

5:47

him. When you talk about

5:49

Milrow it's not 1938 so I'm gonna

5:51

need to see a forward pass and

5:54

then Ubers has a lot of room to grow. I

5:57

think Ubers gives you the best shot but now David look

5:59

There. Will be quarterbacks like someone will rise

6:01

up. this year it'll even jersey or the

6:04

day off out. Just like we thought the

6:06

said say that twenty one class is this

6:08

great group of quarterbacks right as what they

6:10

were a day. But ultimately it's like what

6:13

we talked about like the Patriots I think

6:15

made a mistake taking a quarterback but the

6:17

owner demanded Robert Kraft said look. I

6:20

mean, I'll wake up tomorrow, but if I do,

6:22

I want to quarterback. So you just have a

6:24

desperation in a lot of these and it's not

6:27

going to change. It's a quarterback driven when. It

6:30

is a quarterback driven league and a team

6:32

that was on the outside looking in with

6:35

the wages and they decided to take Rock

6:37

Bowers was it's an example of you know

6:39

just taken the best player available that exists.

6:41

Return of the the The Raiders said you

6:44

know what we can still pull the rate

6:46

is hop off if we took what was

6:48

supposedly the best tiny and last year didn't

6:50

turn out there were getting another one. Gonna.

6:53

Run double tide was you can I mean

6:55

ones in in line tight and on ones

6:57

in space up my has bigger need. My

7:00

issue for them is Aden O'connell You did

7:02

nothing in the free agency period or trade

7:04

period to acquire a Qb. Exists

7:07

it doesn't add up your you're rolling

7:09

with a know com you actually believe

7:12

I know he's your guy. Good luck

7:14

with that in and help you can't

7:16

or won't eat. Have reports say in

7:18

the head coach wants to be aggressive

7:20

and getting a quarterback images do nothing

7:23

while yet but again the Patriots as

7:25

that the to the report is the

7:27

Patriots put a price tag that even

7:29

for the Giants to move from six

7:31

or Vikings to move from eleven the

7:33

price to get up and make that

7:36

move was three. First round picks.

7:38

They basically made it impossible for you

7:40

to deal with so Antonio Pierce in

7:42

the Raiders could say whatever they want

7:44

to say. They were not giving up

7:47

three first round pick and I think

7:49

if you were the Raiders you are

7:51

all set on bonus. Or

7:53

michael panic Now with screw them was

7:55

premise with the on at that point.

7:59

Yeah. We're not going to work, We're

8:01

not going to mortgage or future. For. One

8:03

of these two. If they fail

8:05

Gets you are stock or what? your team's

9:26

the A Michael get you into such a

9:28

a bit we want to hear your thoughts

9:30

on I want to hear America America Heard

9:32

them last night. We just wanna hear them

9:34

do their own of the as a Cat

9:37

speakers. The Forty Niners selected Ricky Peer Sale

9:39

Florida wide receiver with. Major.

9:41

Leagues, it's still on the board of the lot of

9:43

things. on the board. Your thoughts on what The Forty

9:45

Niners the last night? Rico. Look,

9:48

here's the funny thing about it. We talked about

9:50

Brad Home. yet a

9:52

high rascal he really did amongst wide

9:54

receivers now at first i thought that

9:56

this meant that one of those guys

9:58

are going to go us I think

10:00

he's an insurance policy. What

10:02

I think may happen, David, is this

10:05

time next year, I don't think all three will

10:07

be there. They may franchise,

10:09

tag, IYOOP, bring them back one

10:12

year, just kind of risk it all

10:14

for the title. And then after

10:16

that, they're gonna send everybody on their separate ways.

10:19

They like the fact that, I was

10:21

listening to Kyle Shanahan was saying that he

10:23

likes the fact that he plays with collision,

10:26

meaning he's not afraid to run into there

10:28

and get hit and get tackled, similar to

10:30

how Deebo plays. Not saying he is Deebo.

10:33

No, the good part, I mean, look,

10:36

if it's worth anything to Eureko or anybody

10:38

who cares, he makes some of the most

10:40

difficult catches you'll ever see. He's

10:44

a good football player. My one concern, you're taking a

10:46

kid who's 23, 24 years old now,

10:50

but I think it's goes to, you know

10:52

what? It's an offensive league. Maybe

10:55

if we bring in an extra receiver, that'll be

10:57

the thing that gets us past the Kansas City

10:59

Chiefs. And in some ways too, it's like let

11:01

Brad cook. You gotta let Kyle cook. Like

11:04

this is what this guy does, right?

11:06

Like, I mean, they know how to identify

11:09

players. And I think Ricky Pearsall's got the

11:11

ability to be a little bit of a

11:13

hybrid player like Deebo, as Deebo gets older.

11:15

Because this is one of those guys, had

11:17

he been taken with Detroit, you would've looked

11:20

at that rascal and said, oh, Brad

11:22

knows something. Well, here's the other

11:24

thing. Kittle's just about done. So

11:26

there's going to be a transition in this offense.

11:28

But no, it was interesting.

11:30

Go ahead, David. Now,

11:32

let's get to you, Mike. The Giants

11:35

took Malik neighbors. And my first question

11:37

in my head was why not trade

11:39

down? Then I saw a story about

11:41

how Ryan Poles for the Bears was

11:44

itching to trade up his assistant GM

11:46

preventing him from doing so. Why

11:49

didn't the Giants just let him? Wait,

11:51

wait, wait, wait. How does your assistant

11:53

GM prevent you from

11:55

trading up? That's the story he told to

11:57

the media. Ok. I

12:00

pick up for life. I look at. The

12:03

Giants. It didn't matter who they took their

12:06

terrible like they. There's so many holes on

12:08

this team now it's not about believe neighbors.

12:10

A lot of people had believed neighbors clear

12:12

number two receiver. There were several scouts in

12:14

the league who had him over Marvin Harrison

12:17

Junior on not tell against for like that.

12:19

That's correct, I'm just telling you that factual.

12:22

I'm fine with it. Because in

12:24

the end. Drafting

12:27

Jj at six wasn't gonna help this

12:29

football thing. we don't have pieces to

12:31

support Jj Minnesota does. I'm I'm fine

12:34

with it a bit smarter. Second office

12:36

of one know because think about as

12:38

they paid answer thomas hundred and fifty

12:41

mil. they drafted John Michael Smith in

12:43

the second round. They just paid big

12:45

money for a pair regards and ever

12:47

Neil they took number seven two years

12:50

ago where with what you gotta play

12:52

your guys I look were terrible. I'm

12:54

not upset about it, I'm not excited.

12:57

About it because my my quarterbacks in

12:59

a wheelchair wearing an x ray. Comfort

13:01

right? Have a feel that that's nice.

13:04

Yeah, stated it outside of what we

13:06

discussed already. what was the biggest Sat

13:08

good or bad in the draft to

13:11

you are the biggest shock May have

13:13

been the owner of the Panthers. Going.

13:16

Into a store good fit. As

13:18

a outs outside the store had

13:21

a sign saying please let the

13:23

Coach and Gm fix this year.

13:27

Care what? This is Real story.

13:29

Carolina Panthers owner David Zapper stopped

13:31

his car and when it's to

13:34

the store and basically confronted them

13:36

telling them he needs insecticide. This.

13:40

Really happening. is

13:42

maniac organ failure i thought the colts

13:44

pick was a little bizarre once the

13:47

medicals were out there by law to

13:49

is the guy to basically was like

13:51

medically deemed dead football wise you know

13:54

we've seen this where the giants hook

13:56

is easily hillary with a degenerative me

13:58

condition always always hurts Jarvis Jones,

14:00

which the Steelers took about ten years ago.

14:02

Hey, he's got a really bad medical on

14:05

his neck career was four years long Very

14:08

rarely does it work out when the

14:10

medicals that bad and you took the player

14:12

at 15 overall that was that's a little

14:14

tough for me Colts

14:16

be Colton Exactly.

14:18

I don't know that that's a thing. But all

14:20

right, and that is

14:22

in football today Okay,
