Welcome in! What's Right With Nick
0:14
Wright, Episode 232 on honestly
0:18
one of the biggest sports days of
0:20
the year. You have
0:22
three NBA playoff games. Well two and
0:24
a half because magic caps. But
0:27
Lakers Nuggets season on the brink,
0:30
Sixers Knicks season on the brink.
0:33
This is that pivotal game three where
0:37
home team one, games one
0:39
and two, if the
0:41
team down O2 who's now at home
0:43
wins game three, we have a series
0:46
and game four becomes
0:48
massive or if the team
0:51
down O2 loses at home
0:53
series over. So we either
0:55
get great series or walkovers.
0:57
That is all happening under the
1:00
backdrop really of the NFL Draft. So
1:02
we will do all of that also.
1:04
We stated a goal on this show.
1:07
We had a goal, we have a goal to get to
1:10
150,000 subscribers to the YouTube channel before the
1:17
end of the NFL Draft. We
1:19
are 900 shy. So
1:22
if we could pick up a thousand
1:24
subscribers between now and our next show,
1:26
I'll say we met that goal. So
1:29
if you're watching, if you're listening to the
1:31
podcast, subscribe to the What's Right Show on
1:34
YouTube. If you're already listening or watching on
1:36
YouTube, I appreciate you being a viewer. If
1:38
you're not a subscriber yet, subscribe and
1:41
hit the bell so you get notified when
1:43
we go live. Speaking of getting notified and
1:45
we go live, I was
1:47
so busy talking to DeMonday about Clippers
1:50
Mavs that I forgot to retweet the link
1:52
to the show. I just did that. Let's
1:55
get right into what missed the cut for
1:57
today's show. Detroit gives a monorail Saint
1:59
Brad's. and Penais Sewell, massive
2:01
amounts of money, good for both
2:03
of them. Caitlin Clark signs with
2:06
Nike and Damaze, classic
2:09
category one take, instantly
2:11
right about the big
2:13
three thing. Yeah, it
2:15
was like a month later. It
2:18
was almost exactly what you saw
2:21
though. Exactly what I said, which
2:23
is yes, it's millions of
2:26
dollars in stuff
2:29
and not necessarily millions of
2:31
dollars in cash in hand. And Reggie
2:33
Bush has his Heisman returned, which is
2:36
one of the most bizarre stories I
2:38
can remember from 18 years
2:41
ago, which was when they said, no, no
2:43
bro, we're taking your Heisman back. It's
2:46
the Heisman trust, not the
2:48
feds. Why did he give it back?
2:51
Why didn't he just say, no, you
2:54
can take my name off the record books,
2:56
but you can't come in my house and
2:58
take the trophy. I'm not giving you the
3:00
trophy. He
3:03
gave it back to him. He
3:05
gave it to him. That's my point. If
3:08
you say no, I don't have a coming
3:10
to my house. What are you going to
3:12
do? You're going to send
3:14
Barry Sanders over there to take it from
3:16
him? No, you're not. And
3:19
I never understood at the time because
3:21
Reggie to his credit had a long
3:23
NFL career and has a very successful
3:25
broadcasting career, but you never know where
3:27
your career money's going to go.
3:30
What's Reggie Bush's Heisman at auction worth?
3:33
Couple hundred grand. So you
3:35
want me to give this thing back to you
3:37
when it's kind of like a really good store
3:39
of value, break glass in case of emergency. If
3:41
everything goes wrong for me, at least I have
3:44
this thing to sell. Like I thought
3:46
I had in my Kobe
3:49
Bryant rookie card that I
3:51
kept under my bed in college for because I
3:53
knew I would one day go broke gambling and
3:55
I had like five super valuable basketball cards in
3:57
a case under my bed. And
4:00
then one day I did go broke gambling and I was
4:02
like, oh, this is so sad I have to go sell
4:04
these cards because I owed a guy a thousand bucks and
4:06
I went to the place sell the cards and They were
4:08
all together worth like a hundred and forty dollars and I
4:10
was just crushed Okay. Well,
4:12
it's a little different from the Reggie Bush situation
4:14
But well, but I'm yeah, it is a little
4:16
different But my point is you try to hold
4:19
you hold on to something thinking I don't want
4:21
to ever have to sell this But I might
4:23
one day and then for
4:25
me that's a story for another
4:27
day that 40
4:30
bucks for five cards Five. Yeah,
4:32
buddy that led to That
4:36
was that led to a sequence
4:38
of just awful decisions
4:40
because again, I'm not going to get into
4:42
it We have too busy of a show
4:45
but if you always scary person a thousand dollars and
4:47
you have no money and Then you
4:49
think you're gonna be able to pay them off with this and
4:52
then you end up being only having less You
4:55
know about a hundred and fifty dollars in percent
4:58
Yeah, well again 21
5:02
year old me Owing
5:04
someone a lot of money Having
5:07
four days to turn a hundred and forty dollars
5:09
into a thousand So not a lot of ways
5:12
to do that. There's a couple tried and true
5:14
ways to do that One
5:17
of which I'm not built for
5:19
and I found that out in very
5:21
quick order That's a story for another
5:24
day now DeMonte before we get
5:26
to the draft. Let's get to the game last
5:28
night. Go ahead Yes,
5:30
so my Celtics lost last night
5:32
at home to the Jimmy Butlerless
5:35
Heat the Lakers and the 76ers
5:37
are back at home trying to drop to 0 3 But
5:40
it's draft day. So we're gonna run through some NBA
5:43
stuff really quickly. We could talk more about the Nuggets
5:45
sweep on Tuesday Okay, the
5:47
Nuggets aren't alright. So let's start. Let's start with
5:49
your Celtics little denial
5:52
from Joe Missoula and the
5:55
Celtics players after the game saying Basically,
5:58
we defended the three well they
6:00
just hit shots 23 wide open threes 23
6:02
well I understand that Miami was crazy
6:07
hot from three I get that they hit the
6:09
most threes they've ever hit in a playoff game
6:11
but when half of the shots
6:14
are classified as wide open no defender
6:16
within five feet that's that's
6:19
a problem they're gonna read
6:22
you a Vincent or no Martin
6:24
they're Darrin Martin you
6:26
know and that's what they did in
6:28
the Eastern Conference Finals last year and
6:30
Caleb Martin had the series of his
6:32
life then he went back to being
6:34
Caleb Martin and now he's playing
6:37
the Celtics and he's good again I'm gonna
6:39
read you a tweet from Kevin O'Connor who
6:41
writes and pods for the ringer he's
6:43
great and is the
6:45
opposite of a flamethrower when it
6:47
comes to takes he is measured
6:49
he is you know
6:52
he is not out here trying to
6:54
like get reaction from people Kevin
6:56
O'Connor last night at 949
6:59
p.m. the Celtics
7:01
would get swept by Denver
7:04
maybe take one game due to a
7:06
hot shooting night but they have no
7:09
chance if it's the Nuggets in the
7:11
NBA Finals zero oh
7:14
boy this is where to monsieur
7:16
Celtics are in a weird spot you
7:19
win the conference by a dozen games you
7:22
get a round one matchup that would
7:24
get your attention because of the heat
7:27
success against you but Jimmy Butler's out
7:29
so it's easy to kind of sleepwalk
7:31
through it next round you're
7:33
gonna get Cleveland who is
7:35
not going to be able to score with you and
7:38
then all of a sudden like
7:41
you're it's a six-month season
7:43
that's going to start in
7:46
the beginning of month five or
7:49
beginning of month six I should say actually
7:51
in the conference finals and so
7:53
do I think the Celtics are gonna lose
7:56
to the heat obviously not but that's
7:58
a terrible loss That
8:00
is by a point spread
8:02
standpoint the
8:05
biggest upset in
8:07
the playoffs since the
8:12
Clippers Patrick Beverly
8:14
Lou Williams young SGA
8:16
Clippers beat the 2019
8:19
Warriors in Katie
8:22
was healthy at the time. They were
8:24
the back-to-back defending champs that led to
8:26
the Kevin Durant doing the I'm Kevin
8:28
Durant press conference That's
8:31
a brutal loss just a
8:33
brutal brutal loss and I'm curious your
8:36
confidence level right now in your Celtics
8:38
to mazay To
8:42
win the finals or together
8:45
the series series
8:47
make the finals win the
8:50
championship I Don't
8:53
I have got I'm not so I've got
8:55
no fears of them losing this series Agreed
8:58
I think that a lot I think a lot
9:00
of things went in the heats favor like I
9:03
don't think that that will be repeated Bam
9:05
out of bio was just hitting shots that
9:08
Martin was hitting shots. It's all out of ball
9:10
watching I think I need to see Jason Tatum
9:12
be a little bit more aggressive, but
9:15
uh, but no so I But
9:17
they get to the finals and they see the
9:19
Nuggets and I don't think that well my confidence
9:22
for us having an answer For Nicole Yokij if
9:24
we end up seeing him in the finals not
9:26
great But if any other team ends up getting
9:29
there, but I feel like we can make
9:31
work of that. That's you know, that's fair and Your
9:35
guys you guys are built very
9:37
similarly to Denver in this regard
9:40
extraordinary starting five Like
9:42
one guy off the bench you trust
9:45
But that's actually good for the postseason in
9:47
theory because your starters are gonna play more
9:49
minutes It's just a bad
9:51
loss and here's the thing It
9:55
hasn't happened yet, I guess
9:57
you could argue who is it who
9:59
wasn't it night before last. Oh,
10:02
Grayson Allen hurt his ankle. But
10:04
we were yet to have the Oh,
10:06
man, key player from championship
10:09
contender, not not best player on the
10:11
team, but you know, your third or
10:13
fourth best guy goes down for a
10:15
couple weeks with a playoff injury. That
10:18
inevitably is going to happen to one or
10:20
two teams, right? It just does. It's just
10:22
sports. That's
10:25
why now
10:28
having this series go a minimum
10:30
of five, and honestly, it
10:32
could go six because Miami could get one
10:34
at home. You just
10:37
you just extend the amount of
10:39
time that something funky could happen.
10:41
You know what I mean? There's
10:43
more games now that you got
10:46
to play more and
10:48
more instances of guys crashing and falling
10:50
around. And it's one thing if it's
10:52
like, Oh, we're in a brutal first
10:55
round series, you know, it's gonna go
10:57
long also getting a little he's getting
10:59
real chirpy. I'm noticing like
11:01
it there started. I think there's like a little bit of beef
11:04
brewing, but in the series. Well,
11:07
I mean, it's it's gonna be each other. Yeah,
11:10
so like, I mean, you got to keep
11:13
in mind, here's Jason Tatum's Jason
11:15
Davis been in the league since 2018.
11:17
Right? So his
11:20
first as a
11:22
rookie, they play LeBron fine. You know,
11:25
they're up three to LeBron has two
11:28
brilliant games, and they win. But
11:30
they're even though they were the favorites. Nobody's given
11:32
Tatum a hard time about that. At
11:35
2019, they lose to
11:37
Giannis, whatever. But once
11:39
Tatum's been a star, they
11:42
play in 2020 Eastern Armaments Finals
11:45
in the bubble. They
11:47
lose to Miami. 2020. 2022.
11:49
They play in the Eastern Armaments
11:51
Finals. Seven
11:56
game series goes down to the
11:58
final shot. lose to Miami
12:00
or they beat Miami 2023 seven game series
12:03
they're up 3-0 it goes to
12:07
seven games they lose to Miami
12:09
Miami's been you know
12:11
what I mean a massive part of Jason
12:13
Tatum's NBA postseason career playing
12:15
them in the conference finals as often
12:18
as they have now to the two
12:20
games tonight I don't want to spend
12:22
on draft night a ton of time previewing series
12:25
I listen this is a little
12:27
heart a lot of head I I think
12:29
both home teams win I think
12:31
the Lakers get it to 2-1 I
12:33
think the Sixers get it to 2-1 and
12:36
then we'll see what game 4 looks
12:38
like in both those series I also really
12:40
hope the Sixers win because I'm going to
12:42
game 4 in Philly and game
12:44
4 with it 2-1 and this
12:47
you know what I mean could be a
12:49
great game but game 4 at 3-0 is
12:51
gonna feel like yeah you know what
12:53
I mean like what are we kind of what
12:55
are we doing here okay now
12:57
to the NFL
13:00
draft DeMonte go ahead yeah
13:02
so before we get into a couple draft
13:05
games let's get the audience up to speed
13:07
on your mock draft 4.0 aka the
13:09
culmination of mock drafts 1 through 4,000 my
13:13
question is has Brett Veach blocked
13:15
your number yet so
13:17
I actually have left Brett Veach
13:19
alone throughout this
13:21
process and I
13:23
I also have been focusing not just on the
13:26
Chiefs like it was last year but on the
13:28
whole league I did mock
13:30
draft 4.0 Monday on television
13:33
there is one major change
13:36
to it that I have made so this kind of mock draft version
13:38
4.1 and I am going
13:41
to try as quickly
13:43
and as efficiently as possible go
13:45
through all 32 teams
13:48
here and talk about why I have
13:50
them drafting who I have them drafting
13:53
and the analysis behind
13:55
it so the
13:58
first overall pick we all know Everyone
14:00
knows is going to be Caleb
14:02
Williams. That is not a question
14:04
That is not a debate that
14:07
that has been locked in stone
14:09
for quite some time Well,
14:11
listen, you guys know how high I
14:13
am on Caleb Here
14:15
is where my change comes from Monday
14:18
to now. I Did
14:21
have the
14:23
new the Washington commanders taking
14:26
Drake, May I Now
14:28
have seen the Vegas odds drop enough
14:31
have heard enough people I trust and I'm
14:36
not gonna reveal any Sources
14:39
publicly I'm gonna text
14:42
Damanze right now so he
14:45
can react but don't say who it is
14:47
to monte. I Just
14:49
want to see your live reaction of the
14:52
person someone a high
14:55
level NFL
14:57
figure who
14:59
might have some level of insight on The
15:04
commanders or their coaching staff or
15:07
their front office or someone Text
15:10
me after mock draft 4.0 and said
15:13
no chance. They're taking
15:15
Drake over Jayden No
15:17
chance and then we had a
15:19
whole little draft conversation back and forth. It was quite nice
15:22
Okay, but I nice that is that was enough
15:28
For me to go back and say, you know what?
15:31
The commanders did hire Cliff Kingsbury
15:34
Kingsbury's College
15:36
quarterbacks were Patrick Mahomes and
15:38
Caleb Williams Want a
15:40
more of a dual threat option? Jayden
15:44
I think is probably the pick Here
15:46
is my concern on Jayden Daniels
15:50
He is old and he is skinny Okay,
15:53
and I and we'll go through this
15:55
full top ten But you can see it on your screen for
15:57
watching on YouTube right now But I want to stay on Jayden
15:59
Daniels for a moment old
16:01
and skinny is not
16:03
a good recipe. Damanzi, how much do you
16:05
weigh? Do you know? Do you mind saying?
16:07
About 190. About
16:11
190. And you are a shade
16:14
under 6'3", right at 6'3",
16:16
a shade over 6'3"? Whoa,
16:19
I think I'm about 6'4", that's what the doctors tell
16:21
me, but probably 6'3". Okay,
16:23
so my bad, a shade over 6'3". Okay,
16:28
so you're 6'3", 190. Do
16:32
you think you
16:34
have the body to
16:37
be an NFL quarterback? Because
16:40
I do not. I think you would get
16:42
hurt a lot. It
16:44
sounds awesome. Jamie Daniels
16:46
is 6'4", a
16:49
true 6'4", weighed
16:51
in at 210 when he was trying
16:53
to weigh as much as possible, which
16:55
means he really weighs 198. He's
16:59
too skinny, man. He's just
17:01
too skinny. And
17:04
so you add that to the fact
17:07
that he is the
17:10
same high school class as Sam Howell.
17:12
6'4", that intent isn't that bad, is
17:14
it? I feel like that's... It's... body,
17:17
it is too... I'm gonna... so I'll send
17:19
and maybe we can get it. This
17:22
is probably impossible to get on this show.
17:26
So Caleb is... but Caleb is 6'1",
17:28
he's 1.5", and he weighs more than 210. That's kind of my
17:31
point. So
17:36
there... like, I'm gonna send a picture. I used it
17:38
on TV. I'll send it as a group chat. I
17:40
don't know if we can get it on the show
17:42
or not. But I
17:44
want you to see it, DeMonday, and
17:47
we can show it whenever. Caleb...
17:49
er, I'm sorry, Jayden yesterday talking. Look
17:51
at your phone. Look at this guy.
17:55
He's gonna get annihilated, man. I mean,
17:57
he's just... He's
18:01
just too skinny and
18:03
everyone's like, oh he's gonna put on weight
18:06
if he could he would If
18:08
he could put on weight, he would put on
18:10
weight and then there's the age factor Well, I
18:12
want to be that he ever had to put
18:14
like it was Absolutely mandatory that he
18:16
put on weight. I think now he's going to the
18:18
NFL is what they're saying. Okay I
18:21
mean I get that but you got a weight
18:23
room I mean, I
18:25
mean when we show that picture
18:27
like he has he just has
18:29
a slight frame And then
18:32
there's the age factor and people misconstrue
18:34
when I'm talking about age It's
18:37
not that oh because he's
18:39
two years older than Drake May His
18:43
career is gonna be shorter that has nothing
18:45
to do with what I'm talking about. It's
18:47
gotta hit his pride Correct
18:51
It's yes. So like I don't
18:53
think Sam Howells very good, right?
18:56
But Sam Howell is the same draft
18:59
or high school classes Jayden Daniels
19:01
How would Sam Howell have looked if
19:04
the last two years he was playing college
19:06
football? probably freaking
19:09
awesome and these and so
19:11
I That's Jayden
19:13
Daniels and so we can show you
19:15
the picture so you guys know what
19:17
I'm talking about people and say there's
19:19
a bad angle I don't know man
19:21
that guy looks like a snapped collarbone
19:23
waiting to happen And so it just
19:25
concerns me and so is that the
19:27
and the age part of it concerns
19:30
me just does and
19:32
so But I think he's gonna
19:34
go number two in that circumstance.
19:37
I Believe the
19:39
Patriots are pretty clearly drafting
19:41
a quarterback. I think that
19:43
they are going to end up Taking
19:46
Drake May number three and then
19:48
the draft gets really interesting Are
19:53
the Cardinals going
19:55
to trade out or are they going to
19:58
stay right? Where they are
20:00
they are. The Cardinals need
20:02
great players. They have
20:04
an expensive quarterback. Marvin Harrison
20:06
is sitting right there. I think
20:09
they will take him. There
20:11
was a ton of smoke right
20:13
when the Vikings traded for their
20:16
additional first-round pick that they are
20:18
doing this to move up for
20:20
JJ McCarthy. Since then
20:23
that seems to have cooled off.
20:26
I actually think that's going to happen. I see a
20:29
ton of mock drafts this morning that have the Chargers
20:31
staying there and drafting JC
20:33
Latham. I don't think that's going
20:36
to happen. I think that
20:38
the Vikings are going to move up
20:40
package their two firsts this year and
20:42
their first next year to get JJ
20:45
McCarthy. Then the Giants
20:50
probably have to run it under this
20:52
scenario, run it back one more year
20:54
with Daniel Jones. They haven't had a
20:56
great receiver since the beginning of Odell.
20:59
Some people have Malik neighbors number one
21:01
as their receivers. I think they take
21:03
neighbors. Joe Alt to
21:05
the Titans is the most obvious
21:08
pick in this draft. Every
21:10
single mock I have done and every single
21:12
mock I have seen has that happening. Probably
21:15
means it won't but I believe it will.
21:17
The top offensive lineman off the board goes
21:19
to the Titans. The
21:22
Falcons are in a unique spot because
21:25
they have to draft defense. They have
21:27
a decent offensive line. They have spent
21:29
top 10 picks on a tight end
21:31
wide receiver and running back the last
21:33
three years and they just signed Kirk
21:35
Cousins. They could sit at
21:38
pick eight and take the
21:40
number one defensive player on their board
21:42
because the first seven picks of this
21:44
draft are going to be offense. Now
21:46
maybe they trade down but I think
21:49
they're going to take Dallas Turner the
21:51
edge out of Alabama and
21:53
that then puts the Bears in a unique spot.
21:56
Do they want to go left tackle to
21:59
protect Caleb? Do they want to
22:01
go interior defensive line and go Byron
22:03
Murphy or do they want to get a?
22:06
stud receiver I
22:08
think they go stud receiver take Roma
22:11
doomsday and Caleb as DJ more on
22:13
the big contract Keen Allen is the
22:15
aging vet and Roma doomsday is the
22:18
stud on a rookie contract And
22:20
then I just think the Jets aren't gonna be able
22:22
to help themselves. They should go
22:24
left tackle here They should buttress the
22:26
offensive line instead. They're gonna hope and
22:29
pray that the old offensive
22:31
lineman that they acquired this offseason stay
22:33
healthy and the one Major hole from
22:35
a skill position perspective on their offense
22:38
is tight end They go Brock Bowers
22:40
to make Aaron Rodgers help happy now
22:42
we can show the next 10 picks
22:44
I think we have them if not
22:47
I can yeah, we do have them all right So
22:52
this is where my mock is gonna be
22:54
different than most There is
22:56
a ton like I said of JC
22:59
Latham to the Chargers at
23:01
five smoke Under
23:03
this scenario JC Latham the left
23:05
tackler the tackle from Alabama is
23:08
available at 11 I
23:10
still think to least FUAGA the
23:13
right tackle out of Oregon State is better
23:15
I think it's more
23:17
likely that Jim John Hart Jim Harbaugh
23:19
drafts him they have their left tackle
23:21
They have the right tackle and
23:24
then the Broncos reach massively
23:26
on Bo Nicks Because
23:29
Sean Payton's got to have a quarterback.
23:31
He is not going into the season
23:33
with Jared Stidham and with
23:36
The guy Zach Wilson. It's just not
23:38
happening So now could the Broncos
23:40
be a trade back and then
23:43
draft Bo Nicks candidate sure but
23:45
if they think he's worth a first round pick then
23:47
just secure him at 12 a Lot
23:50
of people think the Raiders will take panics at 13
23:54
I don't think panics given his age and
23:56
his injury history is a first round pick
23:59
so Raiders Antonio Pierce
24:01
has come out and said the
24:04
Mahomes rules and all this stuff
24:07
get another edge along opposite Max
24:09
Crosby Latu from UCLA makes the
24:11
most sense. The
24:14
Saints have to go
24:17
offensive line here. This is
24:19
a spot where maybe I'll get the player wrong
24:22
but I am certain they're going offensive
24:24
line. Trevor Penning who
24:26
they traded up for in the first round a
24:28
couple years ago has not worked out Ryan Ramchek
24:31
might have to retire due to injury so I
24:33
think they're going for
24:36
Foshanu to give him
24:38
a plug and play tackle on the offensive
24:40
line to tackle out of Penn State, also
24:42
one of the younger players in the draft.
24:46
I think the Colts would
24:48
love if the draft fell
24:51
this way. If they're sitting
24:53
at 15 and
24:56
only two defensive players have gone
24:58
off the board and
25:00
they're both edge rushers and they have
25:02
their pick of any corner in the
25:04
draft they will go corner. I am
25:07
confident in that. I think they go
25:09
Quinion Mitchell out of Toledo. Now
25:11
to the second half or I guess the end
25:14
of the first half of the first round. Troy
25:17
Fotnoe, he's listed as tackle. He
25:19
probably plays interior on the NFL.
25:21
He's down the street from the
25:23
Seahawks playing at the University of
25:25
Washington. That to me is an
25:27
obvious pick. Now to
25:30
the second half of the draft. The Jags
25:32
got to take a receiver because
25:34
they thought they were going to have Ridley and they don't.
25:38
I do not like Adni
25:40
Mitchell as the
25:42
fourth receiver taken in this draft. But
25:45
the Jags front office led by
25:48
Trent Balke loves going
25:50
galaxy brain on the draft and
25:52
going the position everyone thinks they're
25:54
going to do but a different
25:57
player see Trayvon Walker Over
25:59
a. Who. The Edge
26:01
that went to Michigan. That place for the
26:03
lines now ain't Hodgkinson. So.
26:05
I think they could take add Nine Mitchell, their.
26:08
The. Bangles Eat. A replacement for
26:10
Dj Murphy are Dj Murphy, Dj
26:12
Reader. So. Their ability to
26:14
get Byron Murphy the first deed
26:16
tackle off a on everyone's were
26:18
bored Him and Johnny Newton I
26:20
think that makes a lot of sense.
26:23
The Rams Some people of the
26:25
Rams taking a quarterback here. To.
26:27
Back up, Sapper, The.
26:29
Rams haven't had a first round pick in
26:32
eight years. I don't think
26:34
they're gonna spend one on a guy they
26:36
don't expect to play. They. Still need
26:38
help in the secondary. Terry an Arnold
26:40
is a lot of people's cornerback one
26:42
in this draft. I think that makes
26:45
sense and the Steelers are going off
26:47
and of line now. Maybe if he's
26:49
there they go jc late them but
26:51
the reports out of Pittsburgh from our
26:53
for an Andrew Bill a bony connected
26:55
them do a Marius Memes sizing A
26:57
Marius Memes makes a lot of sense
26:59
for them. Now. We'll get to the
27:02
final twelve pics of the draft quickly here. Johnny
27:04
Newton the deed tackle from the
27:07
dolphins are from Illinois. The Dolphins
27:09
last Christian Wilkins that makes a
27:11
lot of since they're this Eagles.
27:14
Need. Secondary help Cooper seen
27:16
can play safety can play corner
27:18
template nickel corner and is gonna
27:21
be our first wife corner in
27:23
the Nfl and twenty some years
27:26
the Eagles take him at twenty
27:28
two. The. Chargers. This.
27:30
Is a tough one. Because. You
27:33
feel like. Harbaugh.
27:35
Is gonna want to build up the often
27:37
have a deep sense of lines First and
27:39
foremost. However, You.
27:42
Lost: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.
27:45
If Bryan Thomas' their you feel
27:47
like they have to take him.
27:50
Off. The. cowboys would be thrilled
27:52
of gray embark new played tackle at duke would
27:54
come play all five spots on the orphans of
27:56
line as they are given the guys they lost
27:58
when we often sublime Then I
28:00
have Latham falling further than just about anyone
28:03
the Packers would sprint this pick in taking
28:05
JC Latham They have a seventh-round pick right
28:07
now slated to play left tackle That doesn't
28:10
make sense even though Latham is probably gonna
28:12
play on the right side The
28:15
the box needs secondary help all over
28:17
the place aside from one great safety
28:20
Nate Wiggins out of Clemson makes a lot
28:22
of sense for them there Jared verse the
28:25
Cardinals need Impact guys some people have
28:27
Jared verse going in the top 15
28:29
I think he's available there and then we get to
28:31
some really fun final five six picks of the first
28:34
round The Bills
28:37
have to draft a wide receiver Now
28:41
there is some smoke they could move
28:43
way up in the draft to get
28:46
a receiver I Would
28:50
love if the Bills mortgage more
28:52
future capital to move up if
28:55
they don't Troy Franklin
28:58
the 6-3 receiver out of Oregon makes
29:00
a lot of sense Some
29:03
people have speculated they would take Xavier
29:05
worthy the guy who set the record
29:07
at the combine I think
29:09
worthy is going either 28 or
29:11
29 if he's there. I
29:13
don't think worthy is getting to 30 Now
29:16
worthy I have concerns with as well.
29:18
You know why it's 155 pounds and Every
29:22
people's I understand the bond day Smith
29:24
was super slight But the month the
29:26
bond day Smith at a 1800 yard
29:28
season in college We saw him deal
29:30
with it people when I talked about
29:32
Xavier worthy people were like oh That's
29:35
what they said about tank Dell. Did
29:37
you see his rookie season? Yeah? I
29:39
saw tank Dell have an amazing rookie
29:41
season until he got his legs snapped
29:43
in half on a regular block because
29:46
he's tiny like this is I
29:48
I Don't
29:51
I feel badly about this sometimes, but
29:54
I don't think I'm wrong in my
29:56
belief footballs
29:58
for big people And
30:00
if you're not a big person, I have
30:02
concerns. And so Xavier
30:05
Worthy would scare me, but
30:07
the Lions have been looking for a speedster
30:09
since they traded up for Jamo Williams, and
30:11
that hasn't quite worked out, so I like
30:13
that pick there. The Ravens getting
30:15
Chop Robinson feels like a Ravens pick, I've
30:18
mocked this in the last couple drafts. The
30:20
Niners getting the best true center in the
30:22
draft, Jackson Powers shots it out of Oregon,
30:24
when they had troubles on the inside of
30:27
their offensive line make a lot of sense,
30:29
and I think the Chiefs are going tackle,
30:32
and Jordan Morgan's the best tackle left. Now could
30:34
the Chiefs trade up again? Not
30:38
a wide receiver, here's why. I
30:42
don't think Rishi Rice is going to be suspended
30:44
for more than four games max. I
30:47
think it's probably one or two games, but
30:49
you also don't make your draft picks based
30:51
on length of oaths. If they
30:53
were like, oh he might be banned from the league,
30:55
but there's that. They
30:58
signed Hollywood, they
31:00
have Rishi, they don't
31:02
yet have a left tackle, and
31:05
so I think they're going tackle. Now
31:07
Jordan Morgan, you're gonna laugh at
31:09
me on this DeManse, the concern with
31:11
Jordan Morgan is he does have short
31:13
arms, and I know
31:16
that sounds ridiculous, but for left tackle you want
31:18
really long arms, because you want to be able
31:20
to keep guys off you. But
31:24
there are going to be, under
31:27
this scenario, let me just explain another
31:29
reason why I don't think the Chiefs
31:31
have to go wide receivers. He
31:34
encourages body dysmorphia by the way. Well,
31:38
yeah, it just is what it is.
31:41
Now I'd love
31:44
Lad McConkie there, the
31:46
slot receiver from Georgia,
31:49
I think he would be great with Mahomes.
31:52
But the reason I think that the Chiefs have
31:54
to go tackle is under
31:56
this version of the muck, the
31:58
following receivers are... are not first round
32:01
picks. Lad McConkie, Keon
32:03
Coleman, Roman Wilson, Ricky Persol,
32:05
Xavier Laguette, Jalen Polk, that
32:12
is six wide
32:14
receivers that are
32:16
potentially second round talents, or
32:19
late first or not can be first
32:22
round picks, but six wide receivers that
32:24
could be any of those six theoretically
32:27
could be available when the Chiefs are drafting at
32:29
64. And
32:32
what you can do if you're the Chiefs is,
32:34
if you take a tackle at 32 and then you see a
32:38
run on wide receivers happening in the second round,
32:40
you can do what they did last year to
32:42
get Rashee Rice, move up a few spots in
32:44
the second round to secure your receiver. So
32:47
that's what I think they're doing. Under
32:50
this version of the draft, the
32:52
best players who end up not
32:54
being first round picks to
32:57
name them so people have them in their
33:00
head. Kool-Aid, the corner
33:02
from Alabama, who I
33:04
could theoretically see the Patriots drafting.
33:07
I'm sorry, the Patriots, certainly the
33:09
Patriots are their first second round
33:11
pick, but the Chiefs drafting. Tyler
33:14
Neuban, the safety from Minnesota, Peyton
33:16
Wilson, the linebacker. Where
33:19
did he go? Did he go to NC State?
33:21
Yeah, the linebacker from NC State. And
33:23
then Zach Frazier, the center
33:26
from West Virginia, along with
33:28
a few corners like Mike
33:30
Sanderstil and
33:32
who's the other corner? I don't even remember. Those
33:34
are the guys who would be kind of at the top
33:36
of the second round. So that's how I see the draft
33:38
going. I am
33:41
doing a Ravens, Lamar Jackson
33:43
trade up for Michael Pinnix with the
33:45
Chiefs. Yes.
33:49
So that's the other thing that the
33:51
Chiefs have going
33:53
for him, so to speak. If
33:56
there is a quarterback available, if Pinnix
33:58
is still there at third. There
34:02
is a real chance a team pays
34:04
a super
34:06
high premium to
34:09
move up to get him because teams
34:12
love that fifth year option for
34:14
quarterbacks So once you
34:17
become that's only available for first-round
34:19
picks so the difference between drafting guy 32 and
34:21
33 is contract structure and So
34:25
yeah, but I could
34:27
see the Chiefs trading back I think the
34:29
Chiefs are more likely to trade back then
34:31
trade up and
34:33
so the
34:36
that's where that's where I fall on this
34:39
and I got one
34:41
more question history. You had yeah, go ahead in
34:43
this walkthrough after you've got five quarterbacks going in
34:45
the first round How many of them do you
34:47
think will be hits in the NFL? history
34:51
tells us it'll go like this one
34:54
star One
34:58
good player One
35:02
below average starter and two
35:05
busts That's what history
35:07
tells us History tells us
35:09
there'll be one great player one fine
35:12
player one
35:14
guy Then and
35:16
then two guys that are backups or you know
35:18
what I mean don't have long careers at all
35:21
That's that's what is so this
35:23
idea that you're going to get
35:27
Three or four franchise quarterbacks. It's not
35:29
that it's never happened Eli
35:31
Rivers Big Ben were one draft
35:35
Obviously, I think it was Elway Kelly
35:38
Marino were one draft it has happened.

what to do before the clock runs out Okay,
38:09
let's do it Who's first? Oh
38:16
All your umbrella checks draft room, okay good.
38:18
Go ahead. Hey Nick Yeah, it's me Elliott
38:20
wolf the kind of GM of the Patriots.
38:23
Yes. This is your draft line Our
38:26
favorite quarterback Drake may is still on the board
38:28
and a lot of teams want him We
38:30
can kickstart our rebuild with a trade, but
38:32
who knows when we'll draft this high again Do
38:35
we stay at three or trade back from multiple
38:37
first rounders? 60-second starts
38:39
now Okay,
38:41
so this is what you do Elliott. I Understand
38:44
that you're getting calls from the Vikings you're
38:46
getting calls from a bunch of teams You
38:48
call up Joe Shane in the New York
38:51
Giants right now And
38:53
you tell Joe Shane in the New York Giants that
38:56
they can go from six to three There
38:58
is precedent for this right? Once
39:00
upon a time the Colts moved up or
39:03
the Jets moved up from six to
39:05
three They gave up the six pick
39:07
and three second rounders you call Joe
39:09
Shane You want to go
39:11
wild? But you want
39:14
the six pick you want
39:16
his third rounder this year and
39:18
next year's number one Okay,
39:20
you call him. He's gonna say yes
39:22
today. So he does that
39:24
now You Time
39:27
you have the six pick. Well, no,
39:29
I get another 60 seconds now. Now.
39:31
I have the six pick So now
39:33
that we can now I'm still I'm
39:35
still talking to you. Elliott I'm
39:38
gonna keep going So
39:41
here's the deal Elliott it's gone perfectly
39:44
they have moved the Giants have moved up they've
39:46
taken Drake may the
39:48
Cardinals have drafted Marvin
39:50
Harrison jr. And The
39:53
Chargers as many people have
39:55
suspected they might have taken an offensive
39:58
line now You
40:00
are sitting there at number six
40:04
You have the choice you can take
40:06
JJ McCarthy. It's or
40:09
You call up Minnesota
40:12
and you tell Minnesota. Hey
40:15
your guy is here I
40:17
will give him to you for the 11th
40:20
pick the 23rd pick and next
40:24
year's number two Minnesota's
40:27
gonna say yes So
40:30
now what you have ended up with you have
40:32
turned the third pick into the 11th My
40:34
lights just went out. I think because I'm short on
40:36
time you have turned You
40:40
have turned the the sixth the third
40:42
pick into the 11th The
40:44
23rd a third rounder and the Giants
40:46
number one pick next year All
40:48
of that is very important looks like the mother's
40:51
lights went out to where's having a whole lighting
40:53
there you go. Demons expect Okay,
40:55
so that's what we've done By
40:58
the way, I'm gonna holler at Jake to
41:00
see if he can fix these lights But you demand that
41:02
you we can go on to the next thing we
41:05
forfeited our pick It's
41:12
the Giants all around the phone no, I like
41:14
it. I do not know my own name So
41:16
don't ask I've got her on the
41:18
line and they're interested in moving down to number
41:21
six So we can move up for
41:23
JJ McCarthy or we can stay at
41:25
number six and be guaranteed one of the top three
41:27
receivers Do I trade up for JJ or
41:29
do I stay in and pick a wide
41:31
receiver? 60-second starts now
41:35
Okay, if you're the Giants that
41:38
the smart move Would
41:40
be stay at six and
41:43
then hold a little mini auction
41:46
For the six pick but if
41:48
nobody is willing to make the trade that I
41:50
just laid out if the Vikings don't want to
41:52
move up Now ideally
41:54
what you do is you call
41:56
Denver and you say we'll move
41:59
from six This is a big fan
42:01
of Francisco Giants though. Okay,
42:03
stop it. If you move from 6 to 12,
42:06
you will then, if Denver
42:09
wants to include next year's number one, you'll
42:11
do that because Denver's gonna be terrible. That's
42:13
a move you make. If
42:15
not, you stamp at your draft
42:18
Malik neighbors and you just say,
42:20
we finally have a stud receiver.
42:23
If you can't get Denver to pay through
42:25
the nose, or Minnesota to pay
42:27
through the nose, send in Malik neighbors. Go
42:29
ahead. Alright, that
42:32
works out. Thank you, sir. Yeah.
42:37
One more poem, move to the next one. Good job. Oh,
42:40
I appreciate it. Oh, this
42:42
is really worthwhile watching on YouTube.
42:45
This is great. We're now in the Bears draft room. GM
42:48
Ryan Pols from Chicago here. We have
42:50
a conundrum. Caleb Williams is
42:52
already making demands. He said today he
42:55
wants us to draft tackle Olu Vashanu,
42:57
his high school teammate. Peroma Dunesay is
42:59
still sitting here. Should
43:01
we drive Caleb's buddy or the best far receiver?
43:05
Here's the thing. Caleb is going to be
43:07
happy with either of these picks. What you
43:09
don't want to do is
43:11
take defense. You
43:13
want to support the offense. Now,
43:16
I understand the want to draft Olu and
43:18
I get it and it makes sense. But
43:21
Caleb also has spent a lot of time
43:23
with the Dunesay. He will not be unhappy
43:25
with the Dunesay and
43:27
with the explosion in
43:30
wide receiver salaries, getting
43:33
Roma Dunesay for five years on a
43:35
discount deal. You drafted a tackle in
43:38
the top 10 last year, so you don't
43:40
need to do it again. So I like
43:43
Roma Dunesay at nine. Hold on.
43:46
I've got a call coming in from the
43:48
49ers. They're calling about Brandon Ayuk.
43:52
For the ninth pick, hang up on him. Hang
43:55
up on him. Tell him to go to hell. He
43:58
stopped the John Lynch ninth pick. with
44:00
the extended the roma doomsday pic seven
44:03
seven the roma doomsday pic cala will
44:05
be happy at the meeting go
44:07
ahead that
44:11
was the the great game i love
44:13
you go ahead hope
44:17
you they really brought a bunch of bones
44:19
out my goodness all
44:22
different types of all that's an old-school
44:24
play it showed us with
44:26
the jets calling for war room it's
44:29
a dark history somewhere in south america
44:32
i'm trying to get in touch with my boss erin
44:34
rogers but i can't see him currently he
44:36
wants brought powers but here's the thing jay

45:14

45:16
twelve-year-old is getting spotted with our
45:18
history no no no this is
45:20
important broccos draft capitol only only
45:23
good i was already for this
45:25
broccos traffic they've got all
45:27
my goodness gracious i'm running out
45:29
of time broncos twenty twenty four
45:31
draft you want the
45:34
twelve pick from denver and
45:36
the seventy six pick and
45:38
a fifth you want those three
45:41
picks so they can move up from twelve
45:43
to ten you move back the vikings at
45:45
eleven won't draft the tight end because they
45:47
have hockinson you get powers in twelve anyway
45:51
pick up two free picks trade
45:54
with denver end
45:56
up with your guy anyway oh man that
45:58
was close i need to have the bright because i knew that All right, we
46:00
got one more go ahead It's
46:07
your buddy Brett Beach with Kansas City. I'm
46:10
in our row. I'm in our war room
46:12
located in Andy Reed's closet I'm
46:14
gonna pickle. Thank God you texted me all those mock
46:16
traps. So I knew exactly what it call Chicago
46:19
is offering Caleb Williams and their first round
46:21
pick in perpetuity from a Holmes. We
46:24
have 60 seconds to decide What should
46:26
we do? Hang up on them? Hang up
46:28
on them. Hey, it's the dumbest idea ever
46:30
Hang up on them until Ryan Paul's you'll
46:32
never deal with him again for insulting you
46:34
like that now that first round pick in
46:37
Perpetuity thing is an idea I
46:39
had years ago It turns out it's against the
46:41
NFL rules But I said
46:43
when I was on the radio in Kansas City
46:45
a decade ago, or I guess longer
46:48
than that 12 years ago I said
46:50
that the Chiefs when they had the number one
46:52
pick of the draft that they should offer this
46:54
for Aaron Rodgers They should say here's the trade
46:57
We will trade you the number one pick
46:59
and the first round pick our first round
47:02
pick every year Rodgers is on our roster
47:05
For Aaron turns out that's not allowed But
47:08
so but they're not trading Patrick Mahomes. What's up?
47:11
Demons? You have two phone calls going on now?
47:14
Yeah, does some other guys
47:16
calling about some other trades?
47:18
Sorry. Okay. No, you're fine So
47:25
Veatch I
47:27
think is because they signed Hollywood
47:29
Brown The Chiefs
47:31
are in a really good position to truly
47:34
be able to take best player That
47:38
they might take a corner. They absolutely
47:40
could take Kool-Aid They could take
47:42
a wide receiver and they could take a tackle Also,
47:45
whatever the producers are trying to get you to do to
47:47
them on they don't let them peer pressure I
47:49
can tell that you don't want to do it. Don't worry
47:51
about it. Uh People
47:54
are asking should you watch the draft of
47:56
the NBA? Listen tonight's one of those nights
47:59
that you need to be able to
48:01
have a multi-tv setup. If you don't have
48:03
a multi-tv setup, here's what I would
48:05
tell you. Go
48:08
TV for basketball, computer
48:10
screen, or phone screen
48:12
for draft. Because draft is
48:14
an informational thing, not
48:17
necessarily you need to see every nuance
48:19
of it. So you can only have
48:21
one big screen, obviously put the big
48:23
screen on the NBA, but the
48:25
draft is honestly what I'm most excited
48:27
for tonight. Even though the way this
48:30
times out, the Chiefs are going to
48:32
be drafting like mid fourth quarter of
48:34
the Lakers game, which is potentially which
48:37
is going to really put me in
48:39
a blender. Alright, let's do listener questions
48:41
next. What's right? Alright
48:49
welcome back in. What's right with Nick Wright episode
48:51
232. What's up, DeMonte?
48:53
Sorry. Oh no, no, no, no, I was
48:55
just going to take, I was going to give you a
48:57
second. You seem to be doing
49:00
some. No, I'm good. I'm just looking.
49:02
I'm trying. Here's a weird thing. I
49:05
think in New York, for
49:07
some reason you can't bet on
49:10
certain types of things. So
49:12
like in FanDuel
49:15
in New York or
49:17
DraftKings, I can't see any
49:19
of the draft odds because
49:22
you're not allowed to bet those types of bets
49:24
in New York. It's weird. I don't totally get
49:26
it. And so I can't
49:30
follow some of these draft odds. But let's get
49:32
to the listener questions. So
49:34
you're trying to bet on the draft right now? No,
49:37
I read the first question
49:40
and you'll understand it. Oh, Neil,
49:42
Gary, Pinnix and Nick's go around going
49:45
round one, two, you get quarterbacks and
49:47
round one plus five and a half
49:49
wagers in. Yeah. So
49:51
I was trying to see what the odds were that at
49:54
least six quarterbacks were going round one, but I can't see
49:56
the odds. I
49:58
don't think we're going to have six quarterbacks in round
50:00
one. I hope we do. What's
50:03
best for the Chiefs
50:05
is as many quarterbacks
50:10
and D linemen
50:14
go in round one
50:16
as possible. Like
50:18
what the Chiefs want is for
50:20
them to have their pick of
50:22
wide receiver tackle corner. And
50:25
so that's what you want positions
50:27
you're not going to draft to
50:29
be the highly drafted positions. All
50:31
right next. Kai
50:34
Jaru asks a question Nick during the
50:36
offseason when sports news have slowed down
50:38
would you have considered doing poker maybe
50:41
twice a month doing a poker show.
50:43
Sorry I'm learning how to play and I think
50:45
it will be cool. I
50:48
don't think a poker show would actually
50:50
be interesting is the problem. Like there
50:52
are you know there's a lot of
50:54
poker like learning tools and there's classes
50:56
and stuff like that. Now
51:00
I have there is
51:02
a poker based actual
51:05
show that I've thought about trying
51:07
to create for a long time where
51:11
it is basically the
51:13
model of the shop where
51:16
it's you know famous people
51:18
sitting around talking but instead of
51:20
it being premised around a barber
51:22
shop it's around a poker table
51:24
with whole card cams so it's kind of both
51:27
but that's a heavy lift to get that
51:29
off the ground but maybe one day. They're
51:33
saying six six quarterbacks in round one
51:35
is going at plus 180 by the
51:37
way six plus corner makes.
51:41
That's wild. All right next. Eric
51:44
Allen asks what do you think the biggest mistake
51:46
of the draft tonight will be? Sounds
51:48
like you trade enough to get JJ McCarthy. I think
51:52
trading up to get JJ McCarthy. So it'll be by
51:54
the Patriots? Well
51:56
they wouldn't have to trade up they could sit there
51:58
but I just think I. I just don't think JJ
52:00
McCarthy is a great player. Next.
52:04
Knack real. If the Lakers win the next two
52:06
games, what percentage do you give them to win
52:08
the series? They're
52:13
gonna, I haven't changed my pick, guys. I
52:15
had Lakers in six, I'm halfway there. They've lost
52:17
two, they always had to lose two to lose
52:19
in six, give me a break. All
52:22
right, next. All right,
52:24
Matt asks, how was the surface on
52:26
the banana phone? Wasn't
52:28
great. That's what
52:30
I imagined. Keep going,
52:32
let's run through these. LG
52:34
said, can't believe we'll never see DeMonte back
52:36
in the shades. I, I. You
52:39
will at some point. I need to send him through. A little
52:41
bit, yeah. A little different flow of the show, so
52:43
I didn't wanna throw in the shades. I've been thinking
52:45
about it as well, but I'll have them all next
52:47
time. All right, that's
52:49
fair. But I. Go ahead. Gun
52:52
to MJC, my guy Nick Wright dressed
52:54
like an Albanian drug dealer. That's
52:57
what I'm going for. That's the aesthetic I'm going for,
52:59
and I appreciate that. All
53:03
right, go to Austin Tapp's question. Austin
53:06
Tapp asks, why do you use passer
53:08
rating to evaluate quarterbacks instead of quarterback
53:10
rating? Does the passer rating provide
53:12
a more accurate? No, no, hold on. He
53:15
said, why do I use passer rating
53:17
instead of QBR? So QBR is ESPN's
53:19
proprietary stat, go ahead. Does
53:22
the passer rating provide a more accurate depiction
53:24
of their performance, or is the quarterback, or
53:26
is the QBR skewed by stats that aren't
53:29
relevant? Neither
53:31
is a perfect stat. Passer
53:33
rating is just very straightforward, even though the
53:36
maximum score is 158.3, which is weird. It's
53:40
not normalized to a 100 scale, but
53:42
it's 25% yards per attempt, 25% touchdowns, 25%
53:46
interceptions, 25% completion percentage. That
53:50
gets you passer rating. QBR is
53:53
supposed to incorporate situation,
53:56
rushing, a lot of other
53:58
things. It theoretically, is
54:01
a better stat but
54:03
it also to me has
54:05
a lot of
54:07
noise in it and the numbers
54:10
are so close together
54:13
that it's there
54:16
is I just don't like it
54:18
as much so I don't think there is a
54:20
perfect catch I don't think EPA I
54:23
don't think CPOE I don't think
54:26
there is a perfect singular catch-all
54:28
passer evaluation stat
54:32
maybe I should give QBR a
54:34
little more love it's just it's
54:36
ESPN's proprietary
54:41
thing so we don't use it on TV that
54:44
often and so I just I've always done passer
54:46
rating all right I'm gonna go
54:48
this was a great show Damanze you
