2:26

Croc, a lot going on today. We got

2:28

a new running back in-house running back Patrick

2:30

Taylor out of Green Bay. The 49ers are

2:33

not going to add tight end Brock Wright

2:35

from the Lions. The Lions have matched that

2:37

offer but first a big move

2:39

in the NFL and some ripple

2:41

effects that do affect the San Francisco 49ers

2:44

and the NFL Draft and that is Stefan

2:46

Diggs getting traded again in April.

2:48

This time going from Buffalo to

2:50

the Houston Texans. D'Amico Ryan's

2:52

building a little beast over there

2:55

in Houston and a second

2:57

round pick in 2025 is

2:59

going to Buffalo from Houston. It's

3:01

actually a part of the

3:03

trade that the Minnesota Vikings traded

3:06

up with the Texans

3:08

to get in the round one. They gave them one

3:10

of their second round picks in 2025. That second round

3:12

pick from Minnesota is the one that goes to Buffalo

3:14

for Stefan Diggs. A couple of day three picks on

3:17

their way from Buffalo to even

3:19

things out to the Houston Texans

3:21

side as well. So the Texans

3:23

going for going

3:26

for a wide receiver here and a veteran

3:28

wide receiver with their young wide receiver core

3:30

with their young quarterback in Stefan Diggs. First

3:32

of all Croc, what do you think about

3:34

Stefan Diggs where he's at at age 30

3:37

now in the NFL. He's fit with Houston

3:39

and we got to talk about how this

3:41

might affect the 49ers because of the value

3:44

involved in such veteran wide receiver trades. You

3:46

know I think a lot of people are making comparisons

3:48

to Stefan Diggs, his

3:51

situation, how productive he's been

3:53

really throughout the years and

3:56

how his trade and what they got

3:58

were kind of looked like. like they

4:00

got fleeced a little bit like a future second

4:02

round pick who knows where Minnesota is going to

4:05

be the got that pick from Minnesota but

4:07

that's next year's pick and then obviously some late

4:09

round swaps. It could

4:11

be with a pick actually Croc because the

4:13

Vikings are either going to start Sam Darnold

4:16

or a rookie quarterback this year. That

4:18

might be picked 33 in next year's draft so it

4:20

could actually be better than the second round where they

4:22

would get from Houston in this year's class but it's

4:24

also a year later and usually you knock down the

4:27

value so a second rounder next

4:29

year is worth a third rounder this year all

4:32

things being equal but interesting pick that could

4:35

be a big range of

4:37

what that pick could be in 2025 but yeah it's

4:39

a future second. Diggs

4:41

and when I originally read it I didn't see

4:43

the 2025 bar I just saw a second round

4:45

pick so I'm like oh that's a

4:47

really good pick because I think Minnesota is

4:49

probably drafting really high in the second this

4:52

year if they had one I know they're

4:54

picking high. Now this

4:56

is where it kind of gets a little interested.

4:58

I'm seeing social media this tanks

5:01

the draft stock of Brandon I

5:03

think or the compensation stock what the 49ers

5:05

would get he's not going anywhere because if

5:07

you want a first round pick no way

5:09

you get it if the the bills just

5:11

gave up Diggs for what they got and

5:14

my rebuttal to that is Stefan

5:17

Diggs has been kind of

5:19

this disgruntled receiver like he forced

5:21

him his way out of Minnesota

5:24

but he made it very quick like I don't want to be here and

5:27

I was with Kirk Cousins who is a good

5:29

quarterback works hard like doesn't come off as I

5:31

go having me kind of

5:33

weirdness to him or anything like that like

5:35

this is a good quarterback who Justin Jefferson

5:38

has feasted with to one of the best

5:40

starts in NFL career as a receiver and

5:42

Diggs like not good enough for me get

5:44

me out of here he goes to Buffalo

5:46

actually a big part of turning around how Josh

5:48

Allen is viewed right so we know this guy is

5:50

really good but then it's like you start to hear

5:52

these grumblings doesn't want

5:54

to be there in Buffalo like not get me

5:56

out of Buffalo I don't want to play with Josh

5:59

Allen I don't is cold anymore. You know,

6:01

so you get sent to Houston

6:03

where they have a second year quarterback. I'm interested

6:06

to see how that whole thing works out. But

6:08

you can't compare IU and Diggs

6:13

because they are on two different

6:15

trajectories, both terrific skill set, and

6:17

they play the game very well

6:19

from that standpoint. But you have

6:21

one guy who has not had

6:23

a contract yet, a second contract.

6:26

You have no issues with him on or off

6:28

the field. He actually wants

6:30

to be with the 49ers. And the 49ers want

6:32

him, they just have to figure out how they

6:34

can make it work from a financial standpoint. And

6:37

you have Diggs who's done everything to get out

6:39

of that situation, and he's 30 years old. So

6:41

you got, you know, five year difference

6:43

there, different trajectories in their careers. I

6:45

don't think you can compare what

6:48

Houston gave to what

6:50

someone might have to do. That was

6:52

kind of one of my initial ways

6:55

of kind of viewing the whole trade and the

6:57

process of that. Looking

7:00

at the compensation, yeah, I

7:02

think, and we just saw

7:04

Keenan Allen, who's a great player, but older, get

7:06

traded for a fourth round pick. We've seen the

7:09

Mari Cooper get traded for like a fifth round

7:11

pick, right? So the veteran players that are already

7:13

on big contracts, you're never going

7:15

to get as much as someone like Brandon

7:17

Ayuk, who's an ascending player, who hasn't hit

7:19

his prime yet, who still hasn't signed that

7:22

big contract that you'd be trying to sign him

7:24

to. If like, you just imagine the money Brandon

7:26

Ayuk would get as a free agent, essentially, he

7:28

would make more money than Stefan Diggs would get

7:30

as a free agent, he's more valuable. And

7:32

he's at least worth around more and what the

7:35

49ers would be asking. So if a future second,

7:37

it's at least a future first, which means it's

7:39

a current first, because it's going to be more

7:41

than that. So I think that's the,

7:44

first of all, it's not related. And

7:47

second of all, I think it

7:49

shows that Brandon Ayuk is clearly a first round

7:51

guy, if you're going to be trading

7:54

for him right now. And even the bills

7:56

first round, let's say the bill said, okay,

7:58

well, now we're going to to offer pick

8:00

28 for Brandon I you I'm

8:02

not even sure that would get it done like

8:05

John Lynch might say cool thank you for the offer but

8:08

that's not enough you know and the

8:10

the there's reports that the Niners asked

8:12

for pick 17 and a player they

8:14

Jones from the Jacksonville Jaguars

8:16

I don't know if those reports are accurate

8:18

but I could totally see that's what so

8:21

much would ask for in this

8:23

case so I don't think it is more likely

8:25

less likely than Brandon I you gets traded I

8:27

don't think it changes the market for Brandon I

8:30

you can what would be asked for what would

8:32

be given up by teams if Brandon I you

8:34

gets traded the Niners are getting a really good

8:36

premium draft pick it's a first round pick and

8:39

you know maybe they do the thing where they

8:42

give up another pick back to the other team to make

8:44

sure they get the highest pick possible now or something like

8:46

that but I just don't think it's gonna happen I don't

8:48

think anything happens with Brandon I you before the draft anyway

8:50

this is a this is summertime contract

8:52

that the 49ers are really

8:55

adept at doing I

8:57

think the big thing that's kind of missing

8:59

from the fans perspective with a lot of

9:01

this the 49ers are not shopping

9:04

Brandon I you know

9:06

they're just doing draft meetings Brandon I

9:08

use contract he's signed the

9:10

49ers will be like we'll talk about that later you're

9:12

under contract we've got draft stuff to do the 49ers

9:15

aren't worried about Brandon I use contract right now they

9:17

might have you know shared some numbers with the agent

9:19

and you know and

9:21

maybe the agent will try to use the

9:23

draft as leverage because you know deadlines make

9:25

deals sometimes we saw this with the debo

9:27

stuff as soon as the draft came and

9:29

gone and the Niners didn't trade debo it

9:31

was like okay

9:34

negotiate with us or that or nothing else there's no

9:36

other options here you're negotiating with us and we're gonna

9:38

sign you and that's where the 49ers are at with

9:40

this so as soon as the draft goes by then

9:42

it's like okay let's talk about this and then it's

9:44

then it just becomes do you show up to training

9:47

camp and OTAs without a new contract are you gonna

9:49

play on that fifth year option and I still think

9:51

that's probably what the conversation is gonna end up being

9:53

unless a team blows away the 49ers and makes

9:56

them better by trading Brandon I you and I just don't

9:58

see that happen A

10:00

lot of the conversation I'm seeing surrounding Brandon,

10:02

I in other fan bases and other people

10:04

talking about what it might take from a

10:07

compensation standpoint A second round pick a third

10:09

round pick like you're never gonna get that

10:11

trade done because the 49ers do not want

10:13

to trade them Right

10:15

if the 49ers if we wake up

10:17

tomorrow and the 49ers have traded Brandon

10:20

I you it's because it is a

10:22

trade that strongly

10:24

benefited them But

10:26

you you you would have to come with an

10:28

offer that they just can't refuse and then they

10:30

have to start looking at it From the standpoint of

10:32

well, okay, you know Does help us

10:35

get you know cheaper here and then we have more money

10:37

on the books for this and that and it would have

10:39

to Just make sense from that standpoint for the 49ers, but

10:41

they're not going it. They're not waking up today saying

10:43

art Okay, let's see what

10:45

teams we can call to see who's maybe

10:48

interested in Brandon I like that phone call

10:50

is not happening It's the other

10:52

teams that may say, you know, we need to improve

10:54

our wide receiver room We can

10:56

see us in there with a 49ers trade Brandon I

10:58

you but we are going to have to come

11:00

with a great offer if they're gonna move off for

11:03

guys that they do not Want to

11:05

move off of and I think a

11:07

better comp for Brandon I you could be whatever

11:09

happens with the T Higgins So T Higgins is

11:11

probably not gonna sign a deal. It looks like

11:13

with the Cincinnati Bengals They got big Joe burrow

11:15

money just like Josh Allen has big money with

11:17

the bills and that gets pretty serious and you

11:19

already got to try to Sign Jamar

11:21

chase if you're the Bengals, you're not gonna be able

11:23

to fit in another wide receiver So

11:25

when T Higgins gets traded which I think will

11:27

probably happen draft day or before the draft and

11:30

I think some teams might be waiting to see

11:32

how the the how

11:34

the prospects fall with wide receivers, you know,

11:36

but Carolina pick 33

11:38

the bills that pick 28 I could

11:40

see trading for someone like T Higgins We get a better

11:43

idea of what the market would be for for Brandon I

11:45

you could that point but at that point the

11:47

pick that you would trade for Brandon I you would have

11:49

already been used, you know what I mean?

11:51

So like as if it picked 28 happens They

11:55

trade it for or pick 33 Carolina Panthers. They

11:57

trade for T Higgins The

12:00

pick that the Niners would have asked for has already

12:02

been spent by the team They would have asked for

12:05

it from right so but I think if

12:07

it happens before draft day And let's say T Higgins gets

12:09

traded for pick 33 I you

12:12

because more valuable than T Higgins the any

12:14

team You know the market would would ask

12:16

for more than we believe no Okay, first

12:18

round pick because he begins went for a

12:20

high too and I don't know how much

12:23

more My T Higgins

12:25

has been very productive in even in games when

12:27

Jamar Chase Wasn't playing like Shagans

12:29

took over as like a wide

12:31

receiver one. Mm-hmm So and

12:34

he's been very productive as well Now

12:36

I think like Brandon I use best

12:38

year is better than Higgins best year,

12:41

right? But Overall without

12:43

no without looking at anything right

12:45

now. I don't have numbers in front of me

12:48

They got drafted the same year if

12:50

you took different offices, of course but if

12:52

you told me that T Higgins has more

12:55

yards and Touchdowns and

12:57

catches then Brandon I you like it

12:59

wouldn't it wouldn't shock me Yeah, I

13:01

think career wise he might because I

13:03

you started slower But I

13:06

use a better player currently and had a

13:08

better is coming off a better year wins

13:10

on all three levels Higgins is A

13:13

good player not a bad player at all, which is why I

13:15

think he's gonna get paid and get traded for I Do

13:19

think I you would be the more valuable guy

13:21

around the league Next

13:23

let's talk wide receiver draft

13:26

prospects Jevon Baker out of

13:28

14:43

guys, it's Joe Marino. Being around sports

14:45

media and a fan of the Buffalo

14:48

Bills for a lifetime has taught me

14:50

that sometimes it's exploring the sliding doors

14:52

moments and what if scenarios in sports

14:54

that can be the best part of

14:57

the fan experience. What if

14:59

the Seahawks let Marshawn run on

15:01

the one yard line with the

15:03

Super Bowl on the line or

15:05

could a coin flip have landed

15:07

Magic in Chicago, Michael in LA

15:09

and made Charles Barkley the first

15:11

black president. Enter Wondery's newest

15:50

right, Kroc, let's get into the prospects here. This

15:52

is wide receiver Javon Baker out of the University

15:54

of Central Florida. He's a former Bama wide receiver

15:56

and I didn't know that at first. And you

15:59

start watching him. And you're like, okay, this

16:01

dude's got some juice to him. And then

16:03

you realize, okay, he was an Alabama recruited,

16:05

wide receiver means you were a specimen

16:08

coming out of high school and you were

16:10

in demand, six, one and a quarter, 202

16:12

pounds. I'm

16:14

not gonna tell you it's 40 time crux. I know

16:16

you like to go through the tape before you learn

16:18

too much about the prospects and you'll want to color

16:21

your opinion. So I want to hear your opinions on

16:23

Jevon Baker first when you did put on the tape.

16:25

And if you think he is a future San Francisco

16:27

49er, but before I talk about some of the other

16:29

specifics about his workouts. Well, one of

16:31

the things you just mentioned was his speed. And you know, I

16:33

did not look it up six, one

16:35

and a quarter. So

16:37

probably like six, two in person, kind

16:40

of rising on my side, 200 pounds. As I was

16:42

kind of reading a lot like my size. Probably

16:44

listed at six, two for sure.

16:46

I'm sure college. Yeah, you're gonna get that bump

16:49

easily. One of the

16:51

questions I have was does he have long speed? So,

16:53

and that's just from watching,

16:55

when you're watching all 22

16:58

or even the YouTube colors. Do

17:00

you see a guy even when he's not getting the ball separate

17:04

vertically from defensive backs?

17:06

Everybody went different. So there are some guys

17:08

who will win at the catch point down

17:11

the field vertically, but maybe not be

17:14

a speedster, right? Like we've seen that.

17:16

And I think that skill set doesn't

17:18

translate from a consistency standpoint, as well

17:20

as guys who can actually just run away

17:22

from a guy. But I didn't quite see

17:24

him getting on top of defensive backs vertically.

17:27

That was a question that I had. I

17:29

thought he was very fluid. I thought he was twitchy. I

17:31

thought he was sudden between watching

17:34

his game film on the all

17:36

22 and then going and watching the

17:39

senior ball clips, what it

17:42

looked like with him fighting with defensive backs. I said,

17:44

man, this is a scrappy guy who understands leverage and

17:46

how to set guys up. So that kind of tells

17:48

me, it feels

17:50

like he's more of a four,

17:53

five, two type guy. Like

17:55

if I had to guess, that's what I would say.

17:58

He maybe ran in his 40. Interesting.

18:00

Okay. What are you wearing? You're

18:03

way off croc. You're off by by 0.02 is 454 in

18:08

the fourth. Oh Now

18:10

you nailed it. I mean that that's exactly it like He's

18:13

got ball skills. He's kind of medium height weight speed,

18:15

but that's Kyle Shanahan's wheelhouse, right? He'd like he likes

18:17

the medium got the medium sized guys 6 1 2

18:20

0 2 4 5 4 That's

18:24

a future 49er right there before even look at the

18:26

rest of of what his skill set is I

18:29

Know that I like the pace that he runs

18:31

his routes with so I think he does a

18:33

really good job of understanding how to change Pace

18:35

in routes. I think he

18:37

gets off the ball and explodes very well To

18:40

him, but he's still under control with everything that

18:42

he does and I have a

18:44

player comp And I don't know

18:46

if this is good or bad. Okay. All right,

18:48

but he comes off as

18:50

this player I would say

18:52

he he looks like he

18:55

may be a little

18:57

more Explosive like

19:00

and when I say explosive, I like I'm not

19:02

saying he timber rugs, but he just looks like

19:04

he has a little bit More juice. Mm-hmm. But

19:07

with how he moves his height

19:09

his weight and I'm

19:11

glad you said his height and weight. I didn't know that He

19:14

reminds me a lot of Riley really coming out

19:16

and I was high on Riley. I really liked

19:18

Riley really game But it was

19:20

a guy where you didn't quite see things

19:22

that were just like whoa How do you do that

19:24

right but you saw a lot of now like how

19:26

he does this I like how he does it man

19:28

Really good job catching the ball away from his body

19:31

here. Oh, man I like how he has like nice

19:33

suddenness, especially for a guy who you know, it's not

19:35

like he's tiny Right like six

19:37

one and a half 202

19:40

but still able to move very fluidly understand how

19:42

to change pace has twitch and suddenness to him

19:44

But man, there's a lot of really to his

19:46

game now really Knowing his

19:48

how he tested He

19:51

did not test well ran in the four sixes 30 inch

19:53

vert, you know So we're talking about

19:55

guy who you're showing a lack of

19:58

explosiveness that probably just doesn't quite typically

20:00

translate to the next level. You can find

20:03

a guy

20:05

from LSU with Odell Beck, Jarvis Landry.

20:07

You can find the Jarvis Landry, you

20:10

know, every once in a while. But

20:13

if you... Landry was like, Landry was so

20:15

specific too. He's an underneath guy, slot guy

20:17

all day, didn't win vertically. You know, he

20:20

had some ball skills even though he wasn't

20:22

the biggest guy, but you saw a lack

20:24

of athleticism. By the way, I think with

20:27

Landry, he was injured

20:29

and worked out worse than he even was

20:32

athletically. And even then, you still saw some

20:34

athletic limitations in the NFL that made him

20:36

such a specific player. By

20:38

the way, Riley Ridley, Calvin Ridley's little brother,

20:41

right? You know, those folks who don't remember, and

20:43

he washed out of the league pretty quick. But

20:45

I remember you liked his tape a

20:47

lot with his ability to get open and run

20:49

routes. He just... he lacked NFL juice.

20:51

And I think that's the difference with

20:53

Javon Baker is 4-5-4, which is fine, which is...

20:56

it's in the sweet spot to be honest with you. Between 4-4,

20:58

between 4-4-5 and mid

21:01

4-5s, like that's where most of the really good

21:03

wide receivers in the NFL run. So it's not

21:05

like he's slow at 4-5, but we see all

21:07

these crazy 40 times now. 4.54

21:11

is not too slow to be a

21:13

really good wide receiver and win vertically actually in the NFL.

21:15

As long as you have the other things like ball skills

21:17

and he's got 32 and a quarter inch arms. So he's

21:19

got longer arms. So he plays to a bigger size maybe

21:22

even than 6'1". 37 inch vertical,

21:24

which is something Ridley didn't have. It was

21:26

a little more of that explosiveness to go

21:28

get the football. Smooth route runner,

21:30

gets open on all levels, has ball skills to

21:32

finish at the catch point. Those are the things

21:35

I really liked about Javon Baker. And when you

21:37

see 4-5-4, I think he plays... if you see

21:39

6-1, 4-5-4, I think he plays bigger and

21:42

more explosive than just medium.

21:45

And this is where the 40-yard dash comes, where

21:49

it's a little overrated. When

21:51

you run a 4-5-4, it's

21:53

just gonna cost you money. It doesn't mean that people

21:55

don't like you or that you're not a good football

21:57

player. It's just like, well, he ain't run a... of

22:00

four, four, two. So we don't have to take them

22:02

in the first round. We may not have taken the

22:04

second round. Uh, okay. We're having four or five, four,

22:06

no other teams, maybe weren't off the charge. You use

22:08

the receiving and getting the third and fourth round. That's

22:10

all that means. And we've seen guys, you

22:13

know, throughout the draft that play very well.

22:15

Heck, we like, uh, uh, w don't

22:17

tell you that wicks that's his name, right? Actually,

22:20

that's a pretty good comp, right? For Javon Baker, Dontavian, the

22:22

wicks from last year's draft. We loved him. You were like,

22:25

dude, I liked this guy a lot. And I put it

22:27

on. It was like, oh man. Yeah. And

22:29

he only ran like four or five, seven, I think. So

22:31

pretty close. And he was a dude, he

22:33

might be the best wide receiver in the Packers or he's

22:35

right now. He started coming on. Like, you know, you just

22:37

started seeing it and he's trying to understand things. And,

22:40

uh, those guys that again, maybe

22:42

isn't straight line, super fast, but

22:44

understand pace, understand, you know,

22:46

how's that body control to run his routes

22:48

hard or fast. Kijic Borne was another guy

22:51

who, you know, he ran like four, seven,

22:53

but when you watch Kijic Borne from that,

22:55

you know, line of scrimmage to, you know,

22:57

16 yards, he

23:00

ran his routes with good pace. And, and, and

23:02

then he had the good changes direction. I had

23:04

a really quick, uh, you know, three

23:06

cone L drill, those things that college center hand

23:08

coverage and really liked. So, uh, not

23:10

sure Baker did any of those drills. A lot

23:13

of guys just aren't now, uh,

23:15

maybe they will come, uh,

23:17

his pro day. I got his combine numbers here.

23:19

I'll tell you what exactly he did. Uh, we're

23:23

pulling up right now. So four,

23:25

five, four in the 40 yard dash six,

23:27

one and a quarter, 202 pounds. He

23:32

32 and a quarter arms, which is

23:35

really good. Uh, one five eight 10

23:37

yard split, which is not great.

23:39

37 inch vertical 10, one broad

23:42

jump. Uh, no, no

23:44

agility drills. See 10, one broad

23:46

jump 37 inch vert to me. Those are

23:48

like, as far as like how

23:50

I would like it. Those are kind of like

23:52

my baseline numbers from an explosive standpoint. So, okay.

23:54

You know, run a great 40, but okay. 10,

23:57

one broad jump. You're into 10 you

23:59

pass the test. vertical jump you're over

24:01

36 you've had to test there for me.

24:03

Yeah so he has enough

24:06

athleticism at the next level even though

24:08

he you know the straight line speed

24:10

wasn't quite there on film and isn't

24:12

there on paper but the other areas

24:14

not knowing his three-cone and stuff like how

24:16

it moves and how he'll be challenged at

24:18

the next level but everything else kind of

24:20

checking out for this guy to be a

24:23

solid maybe late day

24:25

to pick. Late

24:27

day to yeah he checks the boxes he

24:30

size not extra credit but good size.

24:33

Speed not extra credit but fine speed.

24:35

Explosion not extra credit but he

24:37

checks all the boxes in in all these categories. Late

24:40

day three means you're talking about... Late day

24:43

two. I mean

24:45

late day two so it means

24:47

you're talking about third round more pick

24:49

94 then pick 63 in the second

24:51

round for you. For me now maybe

24:53

I watch more and come along on or

24:55

come around on him more but I think

24:57

that's still solid in a deep receiver class

24:59

maybe it can kind of get him bumped

25:02

up a little bit because all these other

25:04

receivers are flying off the board but

25:06

what Jefferson

25:09

receiver that got drafted by the Rams number

25:11

12 by the Florida? Yeah Van Jefferson. Van

25:14

Jefferson. Yeah. That in that mobile. Okay okay

25:16

I like that yeah he was a good

25:18

receiver route runner not dynamic as an athlete

25:20

who could get open can make plays kind

25:24

of dirty starter number two number three receiver

25:26

third round guy that all adds up so

25:28

there you go. Jevon Baker wide receiver out

25:31

of UCF potentially

25:33

future 49er I like that too not fighting to get

25:35

him in the second round still there in the third

25:37

round absolutely and

25:39

I think day two is the place and

25:42

Niners might be looking for another wide receiver

25:44

Niners trying to add other teams

25:46

restricted free agents no one

25:48

brought right yes on Patrick Taylor the running back

25:51

from the Ruby Packers next. Today's

Peacock. Yeah. So earlier in the

27:56

first segment, I said, you know, if you told me

27:58

T. Higgins had more. or catches,

28:00

yards and touchdowns and Brandon Iuk. I

28:03

wouldn't be surprised. It's

28:05

a clean sweep. Brandon Iuk, over him

28:07

in every single one of those categories.

28:09

Brandon Iuk, more catches, more yards, more

28:11

touchdowns by one, even more

28:13

rushing yards, even more yards per catch.

28:15

So it's a clean sweep for Brandon

28:17

Iuk. I apologize. Clean

28:21

sweep there, so. Disrespectful cross.

28:24

Better hair. I mean, just

28:26

the list goes on for Brandon Iuk. Higgins,

28:29

a better downfield receiver. That's the one thing, that's what he

28:31

is. And actually, the more that I think about it, I

28:33

think I like the fit for T Higgins and the Buffalo

28:35

Bills now, because they got those underneath guys. They

28:38

got Khalil Shakir. They just

28:40

drafted Dalton Kincaid, the tight

28:42

end, right? That downfield threat,

28:44

that vertical guy with Josh Allen in his

28:46

arm, that's the need to add. So Brian

28:49

Thomas Jr. in the draft, maybe A.D. Mitchell

28:51

could be that guy if they

28:53

made a swing, if they swung a deal for T Higgins.

28:57

That's a great fit there. The better

28:59

overall player, better overall receiver, more dynamic as a

29:01

runner after the catch, all three levels of the

29:03

field, I'm going Brandon Iyuz all day. I like

29:06

T Higgins though. Good thing for any of

29:08

these guys, right? Like any receiver

29:10

coming in, especially with expectations,

29:13

is just a hard transition and just kind of

29:15

slower. And it's on the team to kind of

29:17

bring the guy along the

29:19

best way for him. But

29:21

stepping into a situation where Josh Allen's

29:24

your quarterback and the Bills have such

29:26

high expectations, and all of a sudden you're asked

29:28

to carry this, you

29:30

don't always hit the ground running. Luckily for

29:33

the Kent City Chiefs, Roshae Rice, and he's in

29:35

some trouble of his own right now. He's like,

29:37

well, you got Travis Kelsey to kind of hold

29:40

it down until these guys, until Rice starts to

29:42

come along, which he did the second half of

29:44

the season. But if you don't have that luxury,

29:46

and Tincaid, I like him, but I didn't feel

29:48

like he was someone that was taking over games.

29:53

Whatever receiver goes to Buffalo, you're going

29:55

to be asked to be the

29:57

guy. So that might be more of a

29:59

veteran. I don't know if I go

30:01

to draft, I might go more T Hagan

30:03

to understand how to play the team at

30:05

the NFL level. By the way,

30:08

and Rache Rice just issued an apology to

30:10

everybody, teammates and saying he screwed up. Uh,

30:12

did you see the report though? I witnessed

30:14

account that Rache

30:16

Rice's former college teammate and

30:19

current 49er, Danny Gray was

30:21

with him. Did you hear that report? So

30:23

that was just an eyewitness thing. I don't, I

30:26

don't know. This wasn't like a shifter report or

30:28

anything. I don't know if there's any truth to

30:30

it, but I mean, they were college teammates at

30:32

SMU. So if someone's going to

30:34

be hanging out, you know, back in this happened in

30:36

Dallas, right? Um, Danny

30:39

Gray, I mean, I don't know. He

30:41

might be in war hot water with the 49ers now. And

30:44

he's already in the dog house as it is, uh, didn't

30:47

play even after he was healthy last year

30:49

with the 49ers at the end of the

30:51

season. So I

30:53

don't know if Danny Gray was part

30:55

of it, but apparently according to some

30:57

eyewitnesses, that's what they saw. Well, they

31:00

have a video of the guys walking away from the

31:02

scene. Did you see the video? Oh, no, that's, that

31:04

must be where it came from there. Yeah. And

31:06

people were like, Oh, that's Danny Gray. I think there's a

31:09

video and the guys like, you're just going to

31:11

leave the car. Like are they stolen? Which I

31:13

would, if I see some

31:15

young dudes getting out of a Lamborghini

31:18

Urus and all these other cars and

31:20

they just leave the scene, you

31:23

leave your car. It has sites. It's

31:25

registered to you. Like, I got just

31:27

20 years old, like bail from a car accident in

31:29

the Lamborghini. I'd be like, yeah, probably stolen. Yeah.

31:33

Like it has nothing to do with anything else other

31:35

than what do you think they're not going to know

31:37

whose car this is? They're not going to

31:39

know who got out. So, um, but

31:42

I'll go back to that video and see

31:44

if I, if I spot Danny Gray. Okay.

31:46

That that's where that came from. Then that's,

31:48

that's super interesting. Um, yeah, hopefully that's not

31:50

the case. Uh, by the

31:52

way. So Patrick Taylor running

31:54

back for the Green Bay Packers has

31:57

signed a Deal with the

31:59

same. This go Forty niners. I think

32:01

you're running back debts. Secret.

32:04

Turner. He had one hundred and forty one yards

32:06

on thirty two rushing attempts last season As the

32:08

back the Air and Jones and Green Bay just

32:10

the bottom of the roster player. The Forty Niners

32:12

maybe the like the the draft class at running

32:14

back meet you know they're They're probably the one

32:16

guy can compete as as a kickoff returner as

32:18

well as bringing in more. I'll do you mean

32:21

dating for a by on the roster at the

32:23

Mason so agitated and edition and the

32:31

other A report here in this story

32:34

for the Forty Niners is that they

32:36

will not add Brock right the block

32:38

First tied in from the Detroit Lions

32:40

three years twelve million was offer seat

32:42

beside him to and Wednesday was the

32:44

deadline and the Detroit Lions said nope

32:47

you're not sign and our guy we're

32:49

going to accept that same deal so

32:51

that offer see that he's I have

32:53

the Forty Niners is now his contract

32:55

with the Detroit Lions So. Blocking.

32:58

Titan clearly. A need for the North for matters

33:00

as we had toward the in the filter. It.

33:03

Not is a blocking side is either.

33:05

Think a legit tied into would you

33:07

talk about Buffalo Bill that doesn't contain

33:10

stuff. Another tight end of the I've

33:12

done knocks on door knocking lox doesn't

33:14

Nexia does does and knocked over the

33:16

next arc where you have a nice

33:18

little combination of of guys. they are

33:20

ones I've drafted, look at higher and

33:22

at you know. Of Zantac

33:24

Room a guy Greg genetics gripping early

33:27

as like brothers were just Allen and

33:29

as our views kincaid as someone who's

33:31

like Travis, Chelsea, it's like he expects

33:33

like it's groans. Is that what he

33:36

loves to kill after moving around? Or

33:39

33:43

you have doors to. And.

33:47

He's playing his they will come off have

33:49

a good year does yard pass catchers of

33:51

sees as a to allow blocking. I.

33:55

Sleazy. Need and we talked about this

33:57

book is a couple days ago. He

34:00

need for the Forty Niners to me to

34:02

have. A legit tied into they

34:04

how kind of search. For you thought maybe

34:06

joy to read are going to have that companies in

34:09

the guys but as like they never got to really

34:11

play together as a jewelry was are in a. Killer

34:14

was are in a jordan we got her in

34:16

any physically to okay back so. I

34:19

wonder if the Forty Niners are so as you

34:21

34:23

his are not. In they did not get it.

34:25

34:34

them jones him yards out miss out

34:36

34:40

nine as you guys described to Peacocks

34:42

34:51

that would not be forced is taking

34:53

the top tied in in the draft.

34:58

you like is a danger. Another started position.
