The need at wide receiver. Welcome

0:06

bird Gang. On today's show, Paul Calvicy

0:08

joins me, if it's not the biggest need,

0:10

it's a close second wide receiver, a

0:13

true number one, or at worst someone

0:15

who can be paired with Michael Wilson. The

0:17

wide receiver talk is getting louder,

0:19

one because of who reportedly was in

0:21

town for visits this week, and two

0:24

the reported blockbuster trade that went

0:26

down Wednesday. It's Cardinals

0:28

Cover two, Episode seven one,

0:30

and it starts now.

0:34

Welcome to Cardinals Cover two.

0:37

Buda Baker, What Heart?

0:39

What rent?

0:40

This guy's unbelievable.

0:41

Cardinals Cover two is presented by

0:53

He's at a ten half of five. He's it again

0:56

some more hurry magic.

0:58

Whow Here's Craig

1:00

Creolo.

1:05

So we'll get to this Stefan Diggs trade

1:07

here in a moment, because I do

1:10

think this may affect the Cardinals both

1:12

directly and indirectly, especially

1:15

Paul, when it comes to something you've been talking

1:17

about, and that is, how does Monty

1:19

Austin fort value the wide

1:21

receiver position, because they do think teams

1:23

now have two extremes

1:26

on how they view that position. But we'll get

1:28

to that in a moment. First things first, the

1:30

final four is this weekend in

1:33

our building, does our credential

1:35

get us access Saturday

1:38

or Monday?

1:38

That's right? If I walk in with my sideline pass,

1:41

that should get me right court side, right pretty

1:43

dang close, right when. That ticket right now is

1:45

probably going for about five g's based

1:47

on what I've heard in terms of the

1:50

market value. So you know what my buddy

1:52

in Indiana lives outside

1:54

Indianapolis, who texted me earlier

1:56

this morning, a I'm looking for one

1:59

for Purdue. Oh absolutely

2:01

not, Sorry, John, Sorry, absolutely

2:03

not. You know, just telling you right now not

2:06

gonna happen.

2:07

Can just like drive down the ramp

2:10

fields, not in the way or anything like that, and

2:13

just drive down and say, hey, you know

2:15

what, I think I left something in the locker

2:17

room right week eighteen? Can

2:20

I go check real fast.

2:21

What I'll do is I'll show up and I'm gonna have a

2:23

hard hat and I'm gonna have a work belt on. I'm

2:25

say I'm here to work on the Cardinals casitas that

2:27

are under construction to go and then boom,

2:29

I'll just watch from the cheap seats over there. That'd

2:31

be good. That's not a bad idea'll

2:34

be That's a good plan.

2:35

By the way, seven years ago today,

2:37

that State Farm Stadium first hosted the

2:39

men's basketball National Championship game

2:42

North Carolina beat Gonzaga.

2:44

Do you know since it opened in two thousand

2:46

and six, I've been there for every single

2:48

Cardinals game. And I'm trying to think other

2:50

than no, actually I was

2:52

working that festival. I've never actually

2:55

attended a sporting event where I could

2:57

go up and buy a beer. I've never actually been a

2:59

fan in the building. I've worked

3:01

every single Cardinals game and

3:04

a handful of Fiesta Bowl games that

3:06

I've actually worked as well as a member

3:08

of the local media. So one of these days,

3:10

just one of these days, I want to go to one sporting

3:13

event and actually be a fan and grab

3:15

a beer and a dog and sit in a seat.

3:17

I think I've been a fan once Fiesta

3:19

Bowl Oregon Kansas State

3:22

sat in the stands. But outside of that, I'm kind

3:24

of like right there with you. Outside of concerts

3:26

and stuff like that, But as far as watching

3:29

a football game

3:31

as a fan, I think just the one time,

3:33

and I was at that final four weekend

3:36

in twenty seventeen, so but that was as

3:38

a media member. So yeah,

3:41

not many fan events in that building.

3:43

You know what concerts? You're right? Two three years ago saw

3:45

a tool shout out to Maynard Arizona

3:47

resident Maynard himself, Maynard James Keenan.

3:49

So that was the act of a show twenty twenty

3:52

one or so. And uh,

3:54

actually I check that you know what to edit that out? That

3:56

was the Coyotes Arena next door. I'm sorry, that's

3:58

how you know it was a good concert. I don't even exactly

4:01

remember the venue next Go ahead, COREG.

4:03

That might say something about hello, my

4:05

colleague here, Paul Calvicy. The

4:07

reason I bring it up is because Purdue

4:09

and Alabama both arrived on Tuesday,

4:12

and I wonder if that Alabama

4:14

charter also included a couple of football

4:16

players, because according

4:18

to reports, Paul cornerback Terry

4:21

and Arnold offensive lineman JC Latham

4:23

both visited the Cardinals on

4:25

Tuesday. Arnold arguably

4:28

the number one cornerback, and remember

4:30

he told reporters he went one on

4:32

one with Jonathan Gannon during their combine

4:35

visit a story. JG confirmed

4:39

and yes, cornerback is certainly a

4:41

top need or one of the top needs

4:43

for this Cardinals team, but maybe

4:46

not necessarily a need at number four.

4:48

So Daniel Jeremiah earlier

4:51

today put out his updated top

4:53

fifty draft prospects. This isn't

4:55

how he thinks they're going to be drafted. This is how

4:57

they are rated in his mind in terms

4:59

of just the players and the ability.

5:02

Number one is Caleb Williams. Number two is

5:04

Marvin Harrison Junior. In fact,

5:06

you have receivers two, three and four, Roma

5:09

Dunes A, Malik Neighbors. Then you go back to quarterbacks

5:11

Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels six, Brock

5:14

Bauers the tight end at number seven. You

5:16

know the Jets are going to take Brock powers and you

5:18

know it's gonna be the Kyle Pitts effect. It'll be totally

5:20

underwhelming. You just know that's gonna happen. And

5:22

then Joe walt Is at eight

5:25

nine is tearing on Arnold.

5:27

Interesting, Okay, I thought maybe

5:29

his stock would go down after the combine. He ran

5:31

the four to five, whereas a guy like Quinnan

5:34

Mitchell ran the four to three three. But

5:37

in terms of just being a player, Daniel

5:40

Jeremiah is still really high

5:42

on Terry on Arnold as the top

5:44

corner. Writing about him, he has

5:46

the ideal size, he's just over six

5:49

foot, play speed, instincts

5:51

for the position, great ball

5:53

skills. He had five picks seventeen passes

5:55

defense last season. You know he's

5:58

rugged. He doesn't shy away in

6:00

run force and coming up and tackling

6:02

and so what's interesting though, there

6:04

are two things. Number One, he went into Alabama

6:07

as a highly regarded safety prospect

6:09

who made the transition to corner. How often

6:11

do you hear that You always hear corner, Yeah,

6:13

it's usually the other way around, going to safety, So

6:16

that's interesting. It's a little bit curious.

6:18

And then again, the forty speed is

6:20

an elite, so to be the number

6:22

one corner, he must be a really good

6:25

player and really instinctual and have great

6:27

technique because he's not exactly considered

6:30

a burner.

6:31

Probably also the film, the quality

6:33

of competition you face at Alabama

6:35

versus what when you're on Mitchell faces

6:37

at Sharlto. That's why the Senior

6:40

Bowl was so big for Mitchell.

6:42

So I do think it's something to pay attention to. And

6:44

then you talk about Latham, a two year

6:46

starter at right tackle. However, he

6:49

began his college career playing

6:52

guard. Aha, not one

6:54

of the top two or three

6:57

potential offensive lineman that we keep seeing

7:00

and hearing. But if you're looking for

7:02

one of those later first round selections,

7:05

because I am not of the opinion, and

7:07

if I'm wrong, I'm sure you'll tell me, Paul.

7:10

Even though you selected or signed

7:12

Jonah Williams and gave him nineteen

7:15

million over two years, I do not think

7:17

that takes a tackle off the board. Maybe

7:20

it does at four, maybe it does

7:22

at eleven, twelve or thirteen should you trade down,

7:25

But in the last half of that first round, top

7:27

of the second round, I do not think one

7:30

bit, because now all of a sudden you've got someone

7:32

you drafted, and Williams

7:35

is here for two years one at

7:37

least. Yeah, and then it's your

7:39

three, four, five, and six that you've got that

7:42

young tackle that you compare with Paris

7:44

Johnson.

7:44

I mean, daydream for just a minute, what if

7:47

the Cardinals Week one went with an

7:49

offensive line left or right Paris

7:51

Johnson Junior at left tackle, J

7:54

C. Latham at left guard,

7:57

yelled a Froholt at center, although

7:59

maybe he a't some competition from

8:01

Evan Brown, right it coming

8:03

from Seattle started almost every single

8:05

game for the Seahawks last year at

8:07

center, will Hernandez starting

8:10

right guard, and then Jonah Williams starting

8:12

right tackle. Let's ball, let's

8:14

go out there, let's maul really

8:16

should be And those are some of the words that were

8:18

used about JC Latham six six three

8:21

point forty two. The first word in

8:23

his NFL dot Com Scott report

8:25

is bulldozer with elite

8:27

drive blocking ability. He's

8:30

they talk about his torque. That's always

8:32

a good word to use. I love that in an

8:34

offensive lineman, his ability to

8:36

tork and dump opponents. And

8:39

so yeah, they use the maller

8:42

word in there multiple times. And

8:44

it's not the first time we've seen JC Latham

8:47

attached to the Cardinals. I think there is significant

8:49

interest in the Bama right tackle.

8:51

Something to pay attention to. And again, according

8:54

to reports, those two players

8:56

were on visits on Tuesday. Arnold

8:58

though, by the way, they posted on social

9:01

media a quick video of him and

9:04

Malik Neighbors just outside

9:06

the Cardinals facility on Tuesday. So

9:08

we do know that you both were in

9:10

town and later on

9:12

this week, according to Adam Schefter, Marvin

9:15

Harrison Junior is scheduled to have

9:17

a top thirty visit with the Cardinals. Now

9:19

again big deal,

9:21

not a big deal, Yes, Cardinals.

9:23

Every other team doing their due diligence

9:26

figuring out which teams that you met

9:28

with in the Combine or the Senior Bowl, and

9:30

you want to have more time FaceTime.

9:33

Although you do think it does say who

9:36

you bring in to your building, whether

9:38

that's for a second visit or first visit,

9:41

and if it's not one of the top tier names,

9:43

because we've seen now five different wide receivers

9:46

reportedly in town for Top thirty

9:48

visits. Jacob Cowing from

9:50

U of A, Brendan Rice, USC,

9:54

Jerry Rice's son, Xavier

9:56

Worthy, Texas four

9:58

two, one forty at the Scouting Combine, not

10:01

first round names, but potentially

10:04

Day two picks, maybe even Day three picks.

10:06

But you're bringing in guys for a top thirty visit

10:09

for a reason, maybe just didn't get

10:11

a chance at the Scouting Combine or Senior

10:13

Bowl. But I do think it says how

10:15

a team values you, maybe

10:18

even more of the position if you're bringing

10:20

them in town for a top

10:22

thirty visit.

10:23

I think it also says the Cardinals

10:25

don't ultimately know where

10:27

they're going to draft. Yet

10:30

you don't know what's coming your way in terms

10:32

of a trade offer at number four,

10:35

And if indeed you believe that your

10:37

best offer will be when you're on the clock,

10:40

then guess what you have to be prepared

10:42

are is your first selection in this draft gonna

10:44

be at four? Is gonna be at six with

10:46

the Giants? Is it gonna be at eleven, twelve or

10:49

thirteen? Vikings, Broncos Raiders.

10:51

Are you gonna get multiple first round picks? Are they

10:54

gonna be this year or next year? Are you gonna end

10:56

up at twenty three or at twenty seven? Is that

10:58

going Are you going to bundle up twenty

11:00

seven with another pick to move on up? As

11:02

a lot of people speculate MONI might

11:04

pull a pull a repeat a last

11:07

year where you trade down then you trade back

11:09

up. So there's so many different

11:11

scenarios. Who's willing to pay?

11:13

What?

11:14

If you have at least four teams interested

11:16

in moving into the top four to go after

11:18

a quarterback, then what are they willing to pay?

11:20

Certainly more than you got last year? You

11:23

would think. And so with all that being

11:26

in mind, some of these names might be a little curious,

11:28

like really the bringing in that guy, well, you don't know

11:30

where you're gonna end up drafting just yet,

11:33

and so, but that's interesting. Those first two names

11:35

at the receiver position shows you just how deep

11:37

it is if you're going to use a top thirty on

11:40

Brendan Rice and Jacob Cowen,

11:43

and I mean beyond that's big three

11:45

receivers. I mean I have a running list

11:48

right now. I don't even have those guys on a list

11:50

that includes eighty Mitchell, Brian Thomas,

11:52

Ricky Pearsall, Keon Coleman, Troy

11:55

Franklin, Xavier Lagette out of

11:57

South Carolina who's getting some recent run, Lad

12:00

McConkie, who remember ran a four

12:02

to three nine forty and is one of the

12:04

better route runners and has great set

12:06

of hands, Xavier Worthy, mister four two

12:08

one forty, Malachi Corley,

12:10

he's the five eleven twoin fifteen,

12:13

Just Burner and Maler out

12:15

of Western Kentucky who they say could be a Day

12:17

one plug and play slot guy. Roman

12:21

Wilson who ran really well

12:23

and a lot of people think was underutilized. In

12:25

Michigan. Just like JJ McCarthy, those

12:27

two guys in the passing game were never featured as much

12:29

as they could have been at another school and another offense.

12:32

Think about how many different receivers could

12:34

be in play for the Cardinals day one or day

12:36

two.

12:37

And keep in mind that when you're having this Top

12:40

thirty visit, you're trying to get intel on a

12:42

number of different things. And it

12:44

does say something that five wide

12:46

receivers according to reports Top thirty

12:48

visits, four different cornerbacks according

12:51

to reports, have had a Top thirty visit.

12:53

And on the subject of wide receiver, I tease

12:55

it off the top Stefan Diggs getting

12:58

traded by the Bills to the Texan for

13:00

a twenty twenty five second round pick.

13:02

Texans are also getting a sixth round pick

13:04

this year and a fifth round pick next year.

13:07

My first thoughts were one, it's the Texans.

13:09

Cardinals don't play the Texans. Cardinals don't

13:11

need to even worry about the Texans at all,

13:15

but the Bills they are on the schedule.

13:18

Paul, you are going to Buffalo next

13:20

season, oh my goodness, And now the Cardinals

13:22

just cross off that number one wide receiver.

13:25

You don't have to worry about covering

13:27

Stefan Diggs, who at thirty one, is under

13:30

contract through twenty twenty seven.

13:32

It's an interesting move by the Texans who

13:34

are now loaded, and I think it says

13:36

even more about the Buffalo Bills,

13:38

who are definitely in that reset

13:41

mode even though they are perennial

13:43

playoff contenders. Dare I say championship

13:45

quality contenders, but they just gave

13:47

up their best offensive

13:49

weapon, not name Josh Allen.

13:51

I mean, if you're looking at the text at the

13:54

Buffalo Bills roster is currently constructed,

13:56

that receiver room, you have

13:58

Khalil Shakir, artist, Samuel

14:01

mac Hollins, kJ Hamler Justin

14:03

Shorter. I mean, you talk about a team

14:06

in needed receivers right now.

14:08

You're missing a name. Okay, there's

14:10

actually a couple of different names, but there's one name

14:12

in particular on that Bill's roster,

14:14

Andy Isabella Bingo, because

14:17

they lost Gabe Davis Night. He bolted

14:20

in free agency as well, so hey,

14:23

if he can't beat him, join them. And

14:25

Kansas City just showed if you have

14:28

the quarterback, then theoretically

14:30

you have enough in the receiver room

14:33

because the quarterback can make look at

14:35

Kansas City and what they've done since they got rid of

14:37

Tyreek Hill. So okay,

14:39

you put it on Josh Allen, especially if the chemistry

14:41

wasn't exactly there with Josh Allen and Stefan

14:44

Diggs and what was going on the second half of last season,

14:47

Especially if Josh Allen felt like

14:49

he had a force balls and targets to Stefan

14:51

Diggs which we saw at times with the Arizona

14:53

Cardinals and DeAndre Hopkins, did we not. Sometimes

14:56

that can be counterproductive to your

14:58

offense. Okay, maybe

15:01

a free up Josh Allen and his ability

15:03

to go through his reads and his progressions

15:06

and just find the open person instead of, you

15:08

know, targeting Stefan Diggs first and second

15:11

and then go into your third read. So

15:13

it's curious move, especially since they didn't

15:15

even get much in terms of how great

15:17

he has been an eye dynamic. They got a second round

15:19

pick next season, which you gotta figure

15:21

is gonna be a low round two pick considering how loaded

15:24

Houston is right now. So the direct impact

15:26

on the Cardinals is, Yeah, Cardinals don't

15:28

have to worry about Stefan Diggs on

15:30

the Bills this upcoming season. Another

15:33

direct potential impact Bills.

15:36

You just lifted off the number of wide receivers

15:38

they have, which they really don't have anyone

15:41

as far as any substance on their roster.

15:44

They now need a wide receiver. Bills

15:47

have eleven picks, twenty

15:49

eighth overall is their highest

15:51

selection. They have one second, none

15:54

in the third and two fourth round

15:56

picks. Wow, if you're the Bills at

15:58

twenty eight and now need a

16:00

wide receiver, whether that's one of the top

16:02

three or if you want to include the top four with Brian

16:05

Thomas, what's it going to take for them

16:07

to move up? And now, if you're the Cardinals,

16:10

are you not scared? That's the wrong word.

16:12

Do you have to play that game? Okay,

16:16

we'll trade down, can't trade

16:18

too far down. But if we trade down to

16:20

eleven, twelve or thirteen, well,

16:22

the Bills desperate need for a wide receiver,

16:25

might they move up ahead of us take

16:27

a wide receiver? Now all of a sudden, Cardinals

16:30

don't get that second choice, third

16:32

choice at the position. It's now

16:34

a bunch of moving pieces that general

16:36

managers are doing their own mock

16:38

drafts and trying to get as much information as possible.

16:41

But this is another team now. I think the Cardinals

16:43

have to take it. Look at as far as

16:46

the wide receiver position because it is

16:48

a position of need for the Cardinals,

16:50

and now it is for the Bills as well.

16:52

Yeah, Buffalo is definitely on the radar

16:54

if you're the Cardinals sitting right behind you. Now

16:57

to your point earlier, though, how many assets do

16:59

they really have that they'd

17:01

be willing to burn to move up and

17:03

jump the Cardinals. It's so deep

17:05

at receiver in this draft. So

17:08

and look, if the Cardinals is gonna end up with one of the big

17:11

three receivers either at number four or number six,

17:13

then it's a moot point. I don't think they go receiver again

17:15

as soon as twenty seven. They

17:18

might do it on Day two, second or third round

17:20

and go for another receiver. I could definitely see

17:23

that. But if you reverse engineer

17:25

a lot of the mock drafts for the Cardinals, I

17:27

think they are accurate in one regard.

17:30

The Cardinals have three dire

17:32

needs right now, wide receiver one,

17:34

cornerback one and an

17:37

edge. Yes, and so with that in mind,

17:39

if you can get that extra first round

17:41

pick and you can come away with those

17:43

three boxes checked, at those three

17:45

positions in round one. I can most

17:48

definitely see that as an ideal game

17:50

plan for Mantias and fort and companies.

17:52

So any mock draft that ends up with the Cardinals getting

17:54

in a corner, getting an edge and by the way,

17:56

in the top fifty rankings just updated

17:58

by Daniel Jeremiah, it was interesting

18:01

to see that players

18:03

twelve, fourteen, and sixteen

18:05

are all edge players Dallas Turner,

18:08

Jared Verse, Layatu Latu. So

18:10

if the Cardinals all of a sudden pull a

18:12

trade with one of those teams in the middle of the first

18:15

round eleven, twelve, and thirteen

18:17

in Minnesota, Denver and the Las

18:19

Vegas Raiders, I could most definitely

18:21

see them going edge with

18:24

that pick they would get in return for

18:26

trading out at number four.

18:27

We'll just go back to something we discussed

18:30

earlier this week Lanzerline's latest

18:32

mock draft three point zero. As far as

18:35

the Cardinals selecting Dallas Turner with

18:37

eleven after a trade with the Vikings,

18:40

you get another trade with the Seahawks to get

18:42

Brian Thomas Junior at sixteen, and

18:44

then at twenty seven kool Aid McKinstry

18:47

a cornerback, and that team again

18:49

Alabama. But now you've just answered

18:51

your top three needs.

18:54

You don't get Marvin Harrison junior, rumadoons

18:56

a Molik neighbors, but you answered your question.

18:59

You hope, Now this is all a projection,

19:01

but you hope at edge, at corner

19:04

and at wide receiver to pair with Michael

19:06

Wilson.

19:07

And then you have Cooper de Gene, the Iowa

19:09

corner rebounding from

19:11

his broken fibula which he suffered

19:13

in a practice. He called it a freak injury

19:16

late last season for the Hawkeyes. And

19:18

so he's going to work out and he's

19:20

gonna go at it. He's going to run. He's supposed

19:22

to have elite speed and athleticism.

19:25

So okay, because Cooper to Gene has been linked

19:27

to the Cardinals either at twenty seven or thirty

19:29

five in a lot of these mock drafts, he has

19:31

met with the Cardinals, at least that's what

19:33

he told the media at the combine. So all

19:36

right, But as we went out back and forth

19:38

on this whole cornerback position and

19:41

how you're envisioning it, if you're in the Cardinals

19:43

war room, Darren Urban and I and I told

19:46

Herbs, I said, look, d there are free

19:48

agent corners out there if you don't get

19:50

the guy you want, or maybe

19:52

you still need another corner.

19:54

Even if you get a rookie in round one or

19:57

a top round two. You have Sean

19:59

Murphy punting, you have Garrett Williams, and

20:01

then you have some other young guys. But if you were

20:03

to go out into the free agent market and

20:05

go after a Stefan Gilmour who

20:08

was still available right age thirty

20:10

three, but he started seventeen to

20:12

seventeen games last year, four time Pro

20:14

bowler, two time All Pro, he's out there. Steven

20:17

Nelson, who was the starter last year

20:19

for the Houston Texans, started sixteen

20:21

to seventeen games again, durable, reliable,

20:24

four picks, twelve passes defense, age thirty

20:26

one. What's he really going to cost? Maybe on a one year

20:29

deal. Dorri Jackson, age twenty

20:31

eight, started last year all season for the

20:33

Giants, was consistently put on an island

20:35

by Wink Martindale. Most say he had

20:37

a better season than you know, then

20:40

you might suspect just because he was relied

20:42

on so much in so many high leverage and pressure

20:44

situations. And then we saw a Kello Witherspoon

20:47

who I thought he had a fine season for the Rams, saw him

20:49

twice last year. He's still out there, great size as

20:51

a corner. Sixty two one ninety five aged twenty

20:53

nine, started all seventeen games three picks,

20:56

so he was considered the rams best corner

20:58

last season. But they've hit the red

21:00

button hun their's secondary. So the at least

21:02

there are at least four viable starting

21:05

corners who are out there in free agency

21:07

that I think after the draft might be potential

21:09

targets. Amanio support handful of edge

21:12

guys as well, and I think free

21:14

agency certainly has slowed down. It will pick

21:16

up post draft when teams look

21:18

at that draft board, look at the roster in

21:20

totality and say, all right, well, we didn't

21:22

quite address this need in the draft.

21:25

We're gonna need something to get us through this upcoming

21:27

season and then we can focus on that position

21:30

next season. Problem with cornerback, though,

21:32

if you do that, then that's

21:34

two seasons in which you really haven't

21:36

invested a top pick.

21:39

Garrett Williams. Yeah, Day two selection, but

21:41

coming off an injury, you would

21:43

have felt better if you selected him and he was

21:45

available the entire offseason maybe showed

21:47

you a little bit more consistent play

21:50

as a rookie, but

21:52

it is something that this Cardinals team needs to

21:54

focus on. Then you get back to the edge

21:57

rush position, and how does this team view

21:59

that edge rush when you only had thirty three

22:01

sacks. Do they view cornerback more

22:04

because quarterbacks are getting the ball

22:06

out so quickly to negate that pass

22:08

rush.

22:09

I think it's conspicuous by its absence

22:12

in the offseason. You didn't get

22:14

that big time free agent receiver. You

22:16

didn't get that big time free agent

22:18

corner Although Sean Murphy bunting is a fine

22:20

addition, I think we all agree cornerback two

22:23

would be his ideal position.

22:26

So I think that's telling right

22:28

there that the Cardinals obviously have designs

22:30

to go down swinging in the draft, early

22:33

in the draft of those two positions. If for some

22:35

reason it doesn't work out and you

22:37

don't have the guy you want and you go a different

22:39

direction in terms of positions than

22:41

all right, you maybe you go back to the free agent

22:43

Well, but I think

22:46

you if you're maniacid for and there's a big

22:48

reason why I do believe someone is going

22:50

to make up the Cardinals GM's mind for him at

22:52

number four, I think there will be an offer

22:55

he can't refuse. I think he will trade

22:57

down, trade out at number four, and whether

22:59

he goes down to six and still gets one of

23:01

the three big receivers or

23:03

just gets another pick or two, the

23:06

quarterback surcharge right the quarterback

23:08

kicker, because guess what you'd

23:10

love to come away round one with a

23:12

corner, an edge player, and

23:15

either an offense well receiver. Absolutely,

23:17

and then if you can go after one of the offensive tackles

23:20

a top with pick number thirty five, a

23:22

top round two, a guy who could theoretically

23:24

play guard man, that would

23:26

be an absolute home run. And it's hard not to

23:29

notice that seven offensive

23:31

tackles are in Daniel Jeremiah's top

23:33

twenty three. Think about that.

23:36

That's how loaded that position group is,

23:38

so all right, what does that mean? Is there going to be

23:40

a run on those guys? Because somebody

23:43

brought this up, and you know what, I think this was in astute observation.

23:45

Sometimes when a position group is so loaded,

23:48

teams will go after other position groups early

23:51

because they're supplied later, and

23:53

then all of a sudden there's a run late

23:55

Round one, top a Round two Cardinals

23:58

sitting there at twenty seven and thirty five. Maybe

24:01

that's where they get the receiver and

24:03

or the offensive tackle because a lot

24:05

of teams will wait and there's a lot of supply.

24:08

You figure, you know what, there's gonna be a guy,

24:11

a receiver or a tackle at twenty seven

24:13

and thirty five. Just be patient.

24:15

Once that first tackle goes off

24:17

the board, and then a second, then teams

24:20

start worrying. It was like, wait a second. Now, teams

24:22

are focusing on that position that has a lot of

24:24

depth, and we thought maybe we could wait. Do we

24:26

need to force the issue and get the guy

24:29

now as opposed to waiting, And that's another game

24:31

that general managers play. Not

24:33

sure how many saw it. I'm sure many

24:35

did because it was making the rounds once

24:37

again. Not sure why, but the

24:40

draft room video of Manti Austin Fort

24:42

working the phones with JG and Michael

24:44

Bidwell sitting in awe literally

24:46

then now is open smiling. That

24:49

video resurfaced on

24:51

social media on Tuesday,

24:53

and it does beg the question. We've been talking

24:55

about the trade down, haven't

24:58

really talked much about the trade back

25:00

up. Might we see a repeat

25:02

performance from Monni Hall going

25:05

from four to eleven

25:07

back up to seven, eight or nine.

25:10

It wouldn't be the first time. It does take

25:12

more work, and I think that's where the work is

25:14

being done now to where

25:16

you can be MONI, when you're

25:18

on the clock ten minutes to go, and

25:21

you can seem so calm

25:24

and have those conversations with

25:26

ease, whether on the phone, your

25:28

front office staff didn't seem

25:30

rushed, no panic whatsoever.

25:33

How much time I got a six minutes money,

25:35

Okay, let's take a look at this again. I'm

25:38

sitting there even watching it after

25:40

the fact, even a year later, you're like, what do

25:42

you do and make a decision? The time

25:44

is running down. I'm okay,

25:47

guys, relax, I've got it

25:49

covered. Well.

25:50

You said it, Craig at resurfaced. Well we know why,

25:52

because good content is

25:54

king right. A good movie never

25:56

gets old. You're gonna watch it infinite number

25:59

of times on read So you know what, that's

26:01

great video. It's all access, it's

26:03

behind the scenes. It's where everyone wants

26:05

to be in an NFL warroom. It's where we'll

26:08

never be in an NFL warroom. So

26:10

boom that video reservices and you

26:12

watch the Maestro. Although I like your nickname.

26:14

I forgot about that one. Monty Hall Haul

26:19

and Michael Bidwill team owner I think

26:21

described it perfectly when he said, yeah, MONI

26:23

had a bunch of spinning plates going, got a

26:25

bunch of different things in the opper simultaneously

26:28

in real time. But remember at

26:31

number three overall, what did Monni have. He

26:33

had Will Anderson Junior as the

26:35

default. What does Moni have at

26:38

number four this year? Theoretically he has Marvin

26:40

Harrison Junior as the default.

26:42

So if things get squirrely and

26:45

or off, teams try and pull a fast

26:47

one and not give you what you were expecting

26:49

or they're not giving you what you're demanding

26:52

in the moment. Ah, that's all right, you

26:54

know what I'm gonna go after Marvin

26:57

Harrison Junior. Thanks, but no thanks

27:00

Sean Payton, See you later, La Las

27:02

Vegas Raiders, See you later, Minnesota

27:05

Vikings. No, you're not getting Drake May. You're

27:07

not getting JJ McCarthy here. Sorry.

27:09

You can go ahead and call Jim Harbaugh and try and deal

27:12

with him.

27:13

So, by the way, full disclosure, I believe

27:15

it was our executive producer Jim Almahunter who

27:17

came up with that Monte hall nickname

27:20

a year ago, so all credit to

27:22

Omo and just watching

27:24

that video again, you kind

27:26

of forget what was the

27:28

trade packages moving down from

27:30

three to twelve because it's not much

27:32

different from going from four to eleven. Yep,

27:35

although the difference between last year and this

27:37

year. Last year there were two quarterbacks at the

27:39

top. This year we think

27:42

there are four, although Michael Penni's

27:44

junior now all of a sudden, visiting with the Raiders

27:46

who are sitting there at number twelve,

27:49

is he making a move up the board? Are there

27:51

more quarterbacks in line to be hearing

27:54

their name earlier in the draft than

27:57

a year ago when it was just two names.

28:00

So the Cardinals go from three to twelve

28:02

and get a second round which

28:04

was thirty third overall, plus a future

28:07

first and a future third from

28:09

the Texans. We all been talking about the Cardinals

28:11

going from four to eleven or twelve

28:14

for multiple first round picks

28:16

with the Vikings it's a swap and

28:19

then twenty three in

28:21

addition to potentially a

28:23

twenty five or a twenty six. Are

28:26

we asking or are we expecting too

28:28

much in a trade down? Whereas

28:30

the package from a year ago was considerably

28:33

less than what we're talking about in a

28:35

move with the Vikings. But is

28:37

that because it's to your point, it's Will Anderson

28:40

versus J. J. McCarthy, Drake

28:42

May, Michael Pennix. It's position

28:45

player versus quarterback who might be on board.

28:47

Yep. And that's one of three reasons why it is

28:49

more this year. The QB

28:52

surcharge the QB kicker. As

28:54

we said, I mean, what is a franchise QB

28:56

worth to your franchise? No quarterback?

28:59

No?

29:00

So guess what next year's draft,

29:02

if you haven't looked, by the way, is bereft

29:05

of any real good quarterback prospects.

29:07

So that also heightens the

29:09

urgency and raises the price tag

29:12

on getting a quarterback this year. Number

29:14

two. Just see what happened last year. Cardinals

29:17

went ahead and they traded with Houston, and all

29:19

of a sudden they took a massive leap forward.

29:22

So the Cardinals are taking a risk if you trade

29:24

out at number four, where exactly

29:26

is your first round pick in a land

29:28

if this quarterback is a guy you

29:30

think he is and he can elevate your team.

29:33

Look at the Raiders, for example, do you know what after

29:35

Antonio Pierce took over in Week nine,

29:37

they had the number one scoring defense the rest

29:39

of the season. Give them a viable quarterback,

29:42

look out right? And so look

29:45

in Minnesota two years ago they won eleven or twelve

29:47

games, or maybe it was thirteen games. They

29:49

won eleven to zero one score games just two

29:51

years ago. Give them a quarterback. After

29:53

the lost Kirk Cousins midway through last year,

29:56

what happens to the Vikings? So the Cardinals

29:58

are taking the risk they could end up with a

30:00

low first round pick next year, just like what

30:02

happened this year with Houston when CJ.

30:04

Stroud and Tamiko Ryans defied all

30:07

the doubters and defied NFL history really

30:09

as a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback. And

30:11

then number three is just inflation, Craig, have

30:13

you seen what your bills are these days? How much

30:16

Moria Kaine, whether it's at the grocery

30:18

store for your car and home insurance?

30:20

Right, everything has gone up. So guess

30:22

what rest of the NFL. If you want

30:24

number four, your price has gone up here in twenty

30:27

twenty four as well.

30:28

Speaking of inflation, are we inflating

30:30

some of these quarterbacks? Because I keep

30:33

hearing. I believe it was Daniel Jeremiah who

30:35

first mentioned it that next year's quarterback

30:37

draft class is not nearly as good

30:39

as this year's. Well, flashback

30:42

a year ago. How many of us had JJ

30:44

McCarthy in the conversation of being

30:46

a top five pick. Is there someone

30:49

Joe Burrow when he won, you

30:51

know, the Heisman Trophy and the national championship

30:54

at LSU, he was on No. One's

30:56

radar of the year before. Is there a

30:58

quarterback in twenty twenty fours

31:01

college season that, all of a sudden, we're talking about

31:03

in twenty twenty five, and well, maybe

31:06

those teams will take

31:08

advantage and be beneficial to

31:10

waiting till next season. I have no idea.

31:12

I haven't looked that deep into the twenty

31:14

twenty five draft class. But there's always

31:17

players who come out of nowhere and all of a

31:19

sudden, it's like, oh, this draft class is deep

31:21

compared to last year. Wait a second, We've got

31:23

five guys now that might hear their name called

31:25

in the first ten picks. Now you're telling

31:27

me that there are more for next year. I

31:31

think we're prisoners in the moment sometimes

31:33

about this and again it goes back to

31:35

well, the season ends in January, late February

31:38

for some, and we've got months

31:40

to talk about the draft, And what are we gonna

31:42

talk about while we're gonna talk about speculation, moving

31:45

up, moving down, and all these draft prospects,

31:47

they're all gonna hit, they're all gonna be all pros, they're all

31:49

gonna be future Hall of famers. It just doesn't

31:51

happen that way when you look back four

31:53

or five years later.

31:54

So NFL dot Com put out a question

31:57

and it went like this, will the first

32:00

four picks in the twenty twenty four

32:02

NFL Draft be quarterbacks for the

32:04

first time in league history? My

32:06

opinion, yes, a definitive

32:09

yes, and I think a lot

32:11

of it Craig, And look, history says

32:13

at least one, if not two, of those four quarterbacks

32:16

will be bus. There will be a Zach

32:18

Wilson, There'll be a Trey Lance, will be a Blake

32:20

Bordoles fill in the blank. Here's

32:23

the thing. If you're the Denver Broncos,

32:25

can you go into next season sell next

32:28

season to your fans? If you have Jared

32:30

Stidham as your starter. If

32:32

you're the Minnesota Vikings, can you really

32:34

tell your fans who actually had Super Bowl expectations

32:37

this time a year ago, coming off that

32:39

playoff run that Sam

32:42

Darnold is going to lead you to the promised

32:44

Land. It's almost like you're cashing

32:46

in the season before it ever starts.

32:49

So by taking a quarterback, in

32:51

some ways, it's a business decision

32:54

for these teams in that you're selling the

32:56

hope in the prospect. There

32:58

are a lot of fans who are waiting to see what their

33:01

team does because once again, no quarterback,

33:03

no chance. And then when you hear

33:06

the Giants for one and ownership signing

33:08

off John Maritel in the media during

33:11

the breakfast media sessions or the NFL

33:13

league meetings that he has given his blessing

33:16

to team leadership to go after a franchise

33:18

quarterback, you realize, okay,

33:21

there are some teams that are sick and

33:23

tired of looking at their own quarterback situation,

33:25

and the clock is ticking for a lot of these owners,

33:28

advanced in age, they want something to happen

33:30

yesterday. Hence that's why I

33:32

truly believe once again that Manasapford

33:35

is in the pivot seed of this draft.

33:36

Oh maybe why the Atlanta Falcons and Arthur

33:39

Blank went after Kirk Cousins as

33:41

hard as they did. Another article

33:43

up on NFL dot com which team most

33:45

needs to trade up in Round one? The

33:47

Broncos a popular choice

33:49

because, as you mentioned it, Paul, the quarterback

33:51

situation. Jeffrey Chadea

33:55

wrote, the Broncos have arguably the worst

33:57

quarterback situation in the NFL.

34:00

Acquiring one of the top four quarterbacks gives

34:02

the team direction and its fans

34:04

something to believe in. The Raiders another

34:07

popular choice. Vikings and Giants

34:09

mentioned as well, because you've got Jared

34:11

Stidham in Denver, you got Aidan

34:13

O'Connell in Las Vegas, Sam Darnold

34:16

in Minnesota, and Daniel Jones in New York.

34:18

Either those names just don't move the

34:20

meter for fans and for owners. Now

34:22

for general managers and everyone else like that different

34:25

story. But is there going to be a team

34:28

that the owner says this is

34:30

what I want versus

34:32

what a general manager thinks is best? Long

34:34

term?

34:35

It's the old adage, you know what, we believe what we

34:37

see more than what we hear out of the

34:39

mouths of these NFL decision makers. For

34:41

example, the Giants showed

34:43

up in mass for the Drake May

34:45

Pro Day. Really, why is

34:47

that the Giants sent

34:50

out their head coach, their GM and

34:52

their offensive coordinator to Seattle

34:54

for the Michael Pennix Pro Day. Interesting

34:58

The Denver Broncos, after

35:01

the pro day at Michigan for JJ

35:03

McCarthy, held their own private workout

35:05

the next day. For JJ McCarthy, Sean

35:07

Paytn was all too happy to talk about at the

35:09

breakfast meeting where he said, we sent JJ

35:12

a bunch of information, spent four or five

35:14

hours with him, made him throw all over again.

35:17

So and then when he says, when asked,

35:20

is it realistic, Sean Payne, you could

35:22

truly trade up from twelve and get that franchise

35:24

quarterback. And he immediately answers

35:27

yes, and then follows with the now famous

35:29

quote, It's good to be Mani ausen Fort. It's

35:33

in play. It's most definitely in play.

35:35

Will the trigger be pulled sometime

35:37

before Draft Day? Probably not, probably

35:40

not even until the Cardinals are on the clock. But

35:42

there's no doubt in my opinion that Mani

35:44

has Minnesota, Denver, the

35:46

Raiders, and the Giants right now

35:48

on four different phone lines, and he's

35:51

trying to leverage all of them against each

35:53

other.

35:53

Of course, Draft Knight, Manti Austin

35:55

Fort will come down and say, I don't know what you

35:58

guys are thinking. We were not going to do anything.

36:00

We were staying and picking and Marvin Harrison

36:02

Junior is our guy. Have you looked at our wide

36:05

receiver room. We think he's gonna be outstanding.

36:07

Kyler Murray and MHJ they're

36:09

gonna be key for years

36:11

to come. I think that's

36:13

a possibility that that could happen, could

36:16

be and that brings us full circle as far

36:18

as the trade of Stefan Diggs

36:20

to the Texans, because indirectly, I

36:23

think this might say something on

36:25

where certain teams view the wide receiver

36:27

position. When it comes to a second

36:30

or third contract wide

36:32

receivers, you need to get them young, and

36:35

I don't know based off of Tyreek

36:37

Hill Stefan Diggs. Now,

36:40

those wide receivers that are getting paid,

36:43

are they worth the money considering

36:45

the production? Yes, they're

36:47

producing, but are they getting

36:49

the teams to where they want to be? Deep

36:52

playoff runs. DeVante Adams

36:54

one championship game appearance, Stefon

36:56

Diggs one championship game appearance with

36:58

Buffalo, many Super Bowls, none

37:02

Mike Evans to my recollection.

37:05

Really the veteran receiver

37:07

with Tampa Bay to get that Super

37:09

Bowl ring after a lengthy

37:12

career, this is nothing to you know, Cooper Cup's

37:14

still young with the Rams. But those

37:16

veteran wide receivers who command

37:18

high dollars that second or third contract.

37:22

They're producing Diggs,

37:24

four time Pro bowler all four season

37:26

with the Bills, but are they uplifting

37:28

everyone else on their team? And I'm not sure

37:31

the wide receiver position for those guys

37:33

that are twenty seven to twenty eight, twenty nine, they're

37:36

going to see that money come down considerably,

37:39

especially if the Bills in twenty

37:41

twenty five advance and

37:43

play well and are moving the ball up and down

37:45

the field, and they do it without their

37:47

number one playmaker.

37:49

It's a good point. It's well said. It's

37:51

such a dependent position, right, If

37:53

you don't have the quarterback, your receiver's

37:55

not gonna eat. If they can't protect that quarterback,

37:58

there's not enough time to get you receiver of the ball.

38:01

So and now we've seen quarterbacks prove

38:04

hey, just give me a set of

38:06

average receivers. If you give me

38:08

a run game and you give me an offensive line,

38:10

I'll make it viable, I'll make it feasible.

38:13

We saw kurr Wonner do that at different

38:15

times. Even for the Arizona Cardinals. The key

38:17

was solidifying that offensive line. And

38:20

so all right, here you go. You

38:22

have this whole list of

38:24

seemingly twenty legitimate

38:29

day one or Day two receivers,

38:31

right, I mean, in the top three rounds, there's

38:33

gonna be probably twenty receivers taken.

38:36

Maybe a Baker's doesn't. But if

38:39

you can get one of those guys, whereas opposed to

38:41

like the other group that I thought just got stupid

38:43

money and free agency, were

38:45

the edge rushers. How many edge rushers

38:47

are in this draft? Supplying to man, where are you going to

38:50

get that edge rusher? That's why I'm convinced

38:52

the Cardinals that's gonna be the first

38:54

position they target if they trade out at number

38:56

four. If they trade out a number four, I think

38:58

the first position player they take will

39:00

be an edge because where else are you

39:02

getting that guy where you're not paying through

39:05

the nose. The other thing about the Texans

39:07

I forgot about. You brought it up before we cracked the mics.

39:09

Deneil Hunter is going to Houston Oh

39:11

my goodness. So Stefan Diggs a hated.

39:14

They have Nico Collins, they have Tank Deel.

39:16

They added Joe Mixon, who's a dude

39:18

at running back. That offensive

39:20

line is good enough. They've tried to

39:22

bolster that. I guess I'm imagining

39:25

they target that in the draft because it's very deep in

39:27

offensive line. And now they fortify

39:29

their front. And

39:31

then you saw what Derek Stingley Junior

39:34

was like as a corner the second half of last

39:36

season, once he got totally healthy and he got some reps

39:38

in the NFL. That is a

39:40

scary team on the up trajectory,

39:43

no doubt.

39:43

And they can do it because they hit on

39:46

their quarterback, the most important position.

39:48

CJ. Stroud showed them in

39:50

year one, we've got our guy.

39:53

And if you got your guy, then

39:55

you can do what the Texans did earlier

39:57

on Wednesday and then worry about

39:59

it down the road. But if you do make

40:02

that decision, then all of a sudden, you better

40:04

hit and you better have success. The

40:06

Bills four years ago acquiring Stefan

40:09

Diggs absolutely great move in

40:11

hindsight, Maybe not because you didn't

40:13

get that Super Bowl ring, let alone

40:16

a Super Bowl appearance with the number one

40:18

wide receiver. Again, it's the veteran wide receivers

40:20

that I'm talking about, not the young guys.

40:22

You need those wide receivers

40:25

that first contract, and I

40:27

think wide receiver, edge rusher, those

40:30

positions that cost you later on,

40:32

you find them in the draft, then all of a sudden,

40:35

you don't have to worry about it later on and

40:37

you can build around with other positions with that

40:39

money that you're not paying to the wide receiver

40:42

or edge position.

40:43

Yeah, exactly right, Nick Cassario,

40:45

the GM who, by the way, is very tight

40:47

with Mani asin Fork going

40:49

back to the New England days. It's not a fluke

40:51

that the Cardinals swung a deal with Houston last

40:54

year while on the clock in the first round.

40:57

So you look at Houston and you just hope that

40:59

is a blueprint for the Big Red

41:01

they You know, we talked about the Honol Lulu blue

41:04

print right Detroit and what the Lions did,

41:06

and they fortified the offense. The Lions shunned

41:08

the receiver spot early and went after Penny

41:10

Sewel. The Lions built

41:13

that offensive line because even when they

41:15

had Calvin Johnson, a Hall of Fame receiver,

41:17

What did it do for their postseason fortunes? Absolutely

41:20

nothing. So once again I'm preparing

41:22

myself for that same sort of mentality,

41:24

a mix of what the Lions did and

41:26

then combined with what the Texans did. The big

41:28

difference to your point is they have a quarterback

41:31

on a rookie contract, so they can go out. They can pay

41:33

through the nose for a denial hunter off the edge.

41:35

They can go out and pay big money nineteen million

41:37

plus to Stefan Digs to be your number one receiver.

41:40

They can go out and they can pay big

41:42

money to the running back position and Joe

41:44

Mixon because they have the rookie quarterback.

41:47

But kudos to them for being aggressive realizing,

41:50

oh boy, we got to do it at quarterback and

41:52

CJ. Stroud he was a Pro bowler

41:54

in year one only five interceptions,

41:56

how ridiculous. Led the NFL also

41:58

in yards passing per game. All right, guess what,

42:01

We're all in effective immediately because we saw

42:03

enough from our rookie quarterback and we're

42:05

gonna go for it while he's on that rookie contract.

42:07

That's smart football.

42:08

Hey, the Cardinals did it not that long ago. DeAndre

42:12

Hopkins yep, acquiring that major

42:14

playmaker that was going to send this

42:16

team into a deep playoff run. Again

42:18

hindsight didn't work. But you

42:20

had a quarterback under a rookie contract. You

42:22

had Chandler Jones as your head rusher under contract

42:25

who was bawling out. So everything

42:27

brought in JJ Watt. Everything fits

42:30

then, but it didn't pay off.

42:32

And that's what I think the Texans are doing.

42:34

You hope that it works, it makes sense,

42:37

But in five years from now you're gonna look

42:39

back and hopefully if you had that Lombardi

42:41

Trophy success. If you don't, it's

42:44

like, well, now we're back to square one,

42:46

and now you've got CJ. Stroud making

42:48

a lot of money, and now you need to supplement

42:50

around him with a lot of young talent.

42:52

You know, one of the low key great games next

42:54

year is when the Houston Texans visit

42:57

the Dallas Cowboys. That's

42:59

gonna be good theater, Houston

43:01

going up to Jered World into

43:03

Metro Dallas and you

43:05

know what here and if the Texans go

43:07

up there, whoop up on some Dallas

43:10

Cowboys? Right head gummet. All

43:12

of a sudden, you think

43:15

about Cowboy Nation and Jerry Jones

43:17

and what sort of uproar that'll cause if

43:20

they're not the king of NFL football in

43:22

Texas any longer. Because

43:24

it doesn't take a genius to see the Texans

43:26

are on the upswing and the Cowboys

43:29

might be in decline and even looking for

43:31

a new quarterback this time next year,

43:33

and that's going to be prime time football

43:36

to behold Houston going in, not

43:38

to mention Stefan Diggs potentially going against

43:40

his brother Trayvon Diggs right receiver corner

43:43

combo. So a lot of good storylines in that

43:45

one. I'm guessing that ends up in a very prominent

43:47

premier spot in the national TV lineup.

43:49

You also have the Bills facing the Texans

43:51

this upcoming season as well. That was

43:53

quickly pointed out after this trade earlier

43:56

on Wednesday. Oh, by the way, the Texans

43:58

and Bills, Yeah, they faced one another

44:00

this coming season. So Cardinals don't

44:02

have to worry about Diggs. They do wait,

44:04

yeah, they don't have to worry about Diggs. They do have to worry

44:06

about Josh Allen though, and Paul has

44:08

to worry about the weather. And hopefully when that

44:11

schedule gets released mid May that it's

44:13

an early trip to the East Coast

44:15

and not November or December.

44:17

There's a top three of potential

44:19

weather issues. There's Buffalo, there's

44:22

Green Bay. When are the Cardinals

44:24

going to Lambeau? And then there's Miami.

44:26

You're going to Miami? And if it isn't

44:28

the humidity of September, it could be the

44:31

torrential driving rain they faced

44:33

how many years ago? Yeah,

44:35

I think you might still be the rain that came

44:37

down in sheets at that last Dolphins

44:40

game. And Pat p just laughing

44:42

on the sideline because you're like, I grew up ten

44:44

minutes from here. Of course, this is nothing. I'm

44:46

like, So, yeah,

44:49

that's on the radar, those three games, Lambeau,

44:51

Buffalo and Miami.

44:52

What Paul has to worry about more recent,

44:55

and that is a dentist appointments

44:57

coming up on Wednesday, blink right

45:00

as well, there's.

45:01

A dentist pointment later today. And then there's the root canal

45:03

that's known as tax season. We'll

45:06

just better left that.

45:07

Maybe we have to go revisit this at

45:09

some point in the next couple weeks twelve days and counting

45:11

though, Paul, for everyone that's keeping track of

45:14

that date.

45:14

So once again, there'll be no disposable income

45:17

to speak of for any sort of Final Four tickets.

45:19

Stop texting me.

45:21

On that note, we will put a lid on this edition

45:23
