2:10

I know we are very much hashtag no free

2:12

pub podcast, but C4

2:16

just came out with the

2:18

the popsicle like you know the

2:20

old-school popsicles When the white

2:23

wrapper that you take out They

2:25

have the Hawaiian pineapple flavored

2:28

Wow popsicle This

2:31

is not a good development for you It's a brand new development

2:33

for me Like I thought I was getting a different flavor and

2:35

grab two of them and then I got in the car and

2:37

I was like Oh, these are new

2:39

never had this and I'm happy to report

2:41

that it is good So

2:44

expect to see a lot more Hawaiian pineapple

2:46

on the YouTube channel. All right Yeah,

2:48

we know that you got to get that sip in

2:50

right right at the beginning. You know what I mean?

2:53

Yep, so it's part of my filibuster while you get

2:55

into the yeah the cold open and the break and

2:57

your introduction and The first

2:59

90 seconds happy busy. I gotta look busy right

3:01

right. I get it. I get it like George

3:03

Costanza, right? I just look annoyed all the time

3:05

people think I'm busy We should we should get

3:07

the the crab slide where I just put me

3:09

on the screen for the beginning and then all

3:12

of a sudden When I

3:14

get done with the title read here's Kyle

3:16

crabs Like I'd

3:18

have to work on my Collins worth. Yeah

3:23

Like the chairs not really wheelie enough to pull that

3:25

off to us a high success rate So we'll probably

3:27

just stay with what we're doing and I'll just my

3:29

beverage and go well

3:33

team needs NFC

3:35

we did the AFC yesterday Where

3:38

I follow the same pattern start in the West free

3:41

agency It's not fair to

3:44

say the worst first wave is done But

3:47

the flurry is over Right,

3:49

you'll still get some signings. I Like

3:52

to think the first wave is done like

3:54

I think there's that that initial Yeah, the

3:56

first few days is pretty crazy and then

3:58

it I think you get to

4:00

a second tier and now you're kind of like into like more

4:02

value and guys that are kind of waiting it out. I'd

4:06

say. I'd say so. Okay.

4:09

I thought maybe we at least give it a full week. And

4:13

move fast. New cycles move fast, man. Yes,

4:16

they do. So if

4:18

we're assuming the first wave is done, then

4:21

this is kind of where teams

4:23

transition into the next

4:26

hurdle, which is the draft. And

4:29

obviously drafting for need is a

4:31

big conversation with pros

4:33

and cons and teams have had success in

4:35

pursuing drafting for need or drafting for need

4:37

ahead of time or drafting

4:39

best player available, all that stuff. But

4:43

you'd love to fill your need with

4:45

your drafting. So objective today

4:47

is to look at what

4:49

the biggest remaining team need is for each

4:52

NFC squad starting in the SUS with the

4:54

NFC West champion San Francisco 49ers.

5:00

I have offensive line down for them, Kyle.

5:02

And I feel like you can certainly look

5:05

at their group and everyone's back. They brought

5:07

back Feliciano. They got every, everyone's

5:09

back. I just feel like for

5:11

as much as they've gotten by with the players

5:13

that they have for this offensive line. I

5:16

think the biggest problem for them in that Super

5:18

Bowl against Kansas City was that the

5:20

chief's defensive line beat up on them. And I

5:23

think it's passable is something

5:26

they need to evolve from. I think they need to get some dudes. They

5:28

need to get some, some guys that can be

5:32

like upside building blocks for the offensive

5:34

line. I think that's what they need.

5:36

So they're serviceable. They're passable, but

5:39

I think they need some, an infusion of talent here. That's

5:41

what I have down to. And I think that's the

5:43

interesting part about this ideology and

5:45

scheme. And we won't dive

5:48

deep into all the teams like this, but you

5:50

look in Miami

5:53

with Mike McDaniel and Kyle Shanahan in

5:55

San Francisco. And you know, the point

5:57

of emphasis is other spots. the

6:00

skill players has

6:02

taken the priority over the offensive

6:05

lineman as far as like premium investments.

6:07

And you contrast that with what's

6:10

now happening in LA with the Rams. And we

6:13

can bounce around a little bit, but we can

6:15

at least go to them next.

6:18

As a segue, they're also in the West with

6:20

Sean McVey who's off the same coaching tree, but

6:23

they spent big on Jonah Jackson, they

6:25

spent big retaining Kevin Dotson. They

6:28

have a second round pick in Steve Avila

6:31

for that three-headed monster

6:34

group. And they're

6:36

still paying, he didn't materialize as

6:38

a starter the way that they thought he would, but like

6:40

Joe Nopum still being there with

6:43

a reasonable vet contract, they've

6:46

made a lot of investments, particularly in

6:48

the interior, which I think is in contrast.

6:52

Haven seems a paid right tackle as well. And I

6:54

think you can apply a lot of that to Houston.

6:56

Look at what Houston again, that same coaching tree with

6:58

Bobby Sloak, offensive line investment has

7:01

been like their biggest priority under

7:03

this new brass. So I think

7:06

it's pretty smart. And I think the

7:09

49ers should fall in line. So

7:11

let's go to the Rams. I

7:13

have the offensive line as well for San Francisco.

7:18

Defensive tackle, interior defensive line,

7:21

defense in general, I think has a

7:24

lot of youth that you could say,

7:26

Hey, there's upgradeable opportunities here amidst developing

7:28

players. But the departure of Aaron

7:30

Donald, like Aaron had the floor for that

7:32

defensive unit at a certain place. But

7:35

now without Aaron Donald, that

7:37

absence is going to loom large when you look at the

7:39

rest of the depth chart defensively for the Rams. Yeah,

7:42

I think the D-line is a concern. I think

7:44

secondary talent, I think they can certainly use some

7:46

more impact there. So defense

7:48

in general, I think

7:50

I probably because I'm more of

7:52

a trenches guy, I would lean to the defensive line, but

7:55

secondary as well, I think can use some bodies. The

7:58

Seattle Seahawks, our next team. They

8:01

added speaking of defensive line Jonathan Hankins

8:03

joining their ranks this week was

8:06

a nice ad for them Yeah, I think they

8:08

desperately needed that kind of player. They had a lot of small-body

8:10

guys up front last year Yeah, I like that.

8:13

I think they need some help with this interior

8:15

offensive line but their entire trio is gone from

8:18

last year and maybe Olu

8:20

olu what Tommy was like a

8:22

head against that he might be

8:24

one of their starters But like I I'm

8:26

not content with either guard situation right now.

8:29

So I think they need some

8:32

so you make George fan signing there They

8:36

had so many injuries that tackle I Mean

8:40

maybe are we concerned about Lucas? I feel like some of the

8:42

people in with Seattle are very

8:45

concerned there Mmm, so

8:47

I think you need a hedge there. I don't know I I

8:50

still think you need help at at it guard

8:53

I Go

8:56

front seven I think I

8:58

think finding the interior offensive line Outlook

9:01

is is easier especially when you consider you do have

9:03

a fourth round pick from 2023 in Anthony Bradford and

9:07

Ole, Latini is a capable player of stepping in.

9:09

We'll see if he's an asset or not but

9:13

just the you think about Mike McDonald in

9:15

that defense and That

9:17

why it was so good in Baltimore part of the reason it

9:19

was so good is they were so physical in

9:22

the front seven And I

9:24

was just watching Seattle last year. They every

9:26

time I turn on that defense. They they

9:29

got knocked around up front They

9:32

got knocked around defensively So is

9:34

it more about put this

9:36

all coming together because I feel like they

9:38

have names like there's they're gonna get

9:40

in Wosu back boy a mafia Geron

9:43

Reed Draymont Jones Leonard Williams Haman's low

9:45

sue because some of those young guys

9:47

on the edge really got pushed around

9:49

last year, right? I I

9:52

just it just occurred to be that Mike

9:54

Morris is reunited with Mike McDonald. Yeah, Darrell

9:57

Taylor like they sign our

9:59

line backer, Jerome Baker Tyrell Thompson.

10:02

I think then the actual product last year

10:04

did not meet what your hope would be

10:07

for the investments that had been made there.

10:09

Yeah. I, I think maybe Clint hurt was

10:11

over his skis a little bit too. Um,

10:14

but so, all

10:16

right, you get some work to do, uh, Arizona.

10:20

It's wide receiver, man. Like

10:22

they have a ton of needs, but

10:25

Michael Wilson, Chris Moore and Greg Dorches, your

10:27

top three is an unserious trio, right? This

10:31

is bears defensive line territory for

10:34

where they entered the season. Last

10:36

year out there, you slander Jeff Smith

10:38

and Zach Pascal like this. I'm so

10:41

sorry. And Dan Chisenna, right. And

10:43

Andre Bacellia. Come

10:46

on, man. Wide receiver. Although,

10:49

although that defense

10:53

looks like it needs some help too. Oh,

10:55

yeah. Credit to them

10:57

going out and getting Justin Jones

10:59

and by little Nichols and Murphy

11:02

bunting, they made some nice additions in

11:04

free agency. But

11:08

the wide receiver group is

11:10

I think where they're hurting the most. I would agree with you. All

over to the NFC South

12:27

and the South champion

12:30

Tampa Bay Buccaneers are first up in

12:33

our spotlight of updated

12:35

team needs. I am inclined

12:43

to say wide receiver. Really?

12:47

I know they brought Mike Evans back. I

12:50

know Trey Palmer flashed a little bit

12:52

and has some speed. You

12:55

want to go with the edge group? Edge

12:58

groups probably more appropriate answer for me.

13:00

I, I, yeah, I would, I would agree

13:02

there. I, the bucks were

13:04

a little bit like the chargers to me yesterday

13:06

where I, as I studied them this morning in

13:08

advance of this recording, I

13:11

felt like they had a little bit more to

13:13

do than they probably want. I think corner

13:16

is a concern for me. I

13:20

know that they just signed Tavir Thomas, but like Jamel

13:22

Dean and Zion McCollum, I don't know. I'm not in

13:24

love with that. I think it's

13:26

a lot, right? So I think they have slot

13:28

between Azeem and Thomas. I think they have their

13:30

slot figured out, but I think they need, I

13:32

mean, this is a four first round corner destination.

13:34

In my opinion, I think they need a

13:36

running mate for Levante David. I think they

13:39

need edge rush and I think they need an

13:41

interior offensive line where like Sua

13:43

Opeta, who they just signed, who has

13:46

been a reserve for Philadelphia

13:49

is their pencil than starter at left guard. Like I, I,

13:52

we want to see this team run the football better

13:55

than they have. Um, I don't know. I just feel

13:57

like there's more holes than I

13:59

anticipated looking at. This bucks roster Well,

14:02

let's go to the Saints How's

14:05

like, uh, yeah all of that Yeah,

14:08

well, you know, we just being mindful of time. We

14:10

got two divisions. We gotta get here, too New

14:15

Orleans signs chase young to a

14:17

one year 13 million dollar contract that

14:20

had like eight million dollars of it Like

14:23

per game active incentives.

14:25

Yeah so

14:28

that I guess that's that's how you as a team

14:30

like New Orleans with where they're at in their Life

14:34

cycle can land some talent

14:36

in that way. It's an interesting team though. Joe,

14:39

I think you again look at the

14:41

penciled in starters And

14:44

you feel pretty good about a couple or

14:46

the majority spots. There's a couple spots you can point to

14:48

be it What the

14:51

left tackle situation with is it James

14:53

Hurst or Trevor Penning or is it

14:55

all the odo? One

14:57

of those guys gonna have to play guard is sitting

14:59

as Nick solid The very ready to step up and be

15:02

the left guard is a fourth round pick from last year

15:05

Wide receiver after Olave and shied is

15:07

a little lean Where

15:10

you want to put all your eggs in I

15:13

want to ask you a question Okay, do

15:15

the New Orleans Saints in 2024 have

15:17

the capacity to win the Super Bowl Well

15:23

Why are we signing chase young to a one

15:25

year 13 million dollar deal and adding four years

15:27

to the back of it including a nine Million

15:29

dollar void year in 2025 is they don't they

15:31

don't what is the point of this Kyle? What

15:34

is the point? We're

15:37

just gonna continue to like I think

15:39

we went seven to nine games like yes

15:43

and until there's a Like

15:46

fundamental change with how they do business. It's just gonna

15:48

be like Because

15:51

they did it last year and Then

15:55

they restructured it's like man their car like kind

15:57

of hit kind of miss. And

16:00

then they restructured of and put all the warriors on the back in the

16:02

that the or. Athena

16:05

so desperately just wants to get into the

16:07

playoffs and by either winning a bad division, sneaking

16:09

in as the Seven Seas and just like being

16:11

totally satisfied with the first round exit like

16:13

that they just continue to tell us that

16:15

over and over to. I

16:18

don't. I don't get it man. At

16:21

some point, take your medicine right? Like. Ray.

16:24

Is if you have as if you've been given the

16:26

trust. And the

16:28

least to do what you've done for as long as you

16:30

have a look. Void. Years or a

16:32

weapon in the Nfl, right? And it's part

16:35

of team building that either you use. Are.

16:37

You don't and everybody else does and you're gonna

16:39

be at a competitive disadvantage. I. Get

16:41

it? But. At some point in

16:44

us enough for hate as and the

16:46

dare dare just. Hold on

16:48

for dear life. That. They

16:50

can get back to that eleven twelve

16:52

when. Cycle that they had if to

16:54

resist your quarterback in his prime. Yes, very good.

16:56

You can do that. Guess guess what? They do

16:59

not worry, it's true. But. Ah,

17:03

I'm I think into your Office of Wine

17:05

be of James Hearses are starting left guard

17:07

tremor Penny of any animal man I'd I'd

17:09

I'd been seen upgrading that last signed off

17:11

insulin. Ago

17:14

offensive line as well particularly the. So.

17:18

Somebody is going to step in at left guard and they are going

17:20

a new left tackle. Whether. It's petting her.

17:22

stir him. Somebody. Safety as

17:24

well together the whole there but. The.

17:29

Atlanta Falcons are next. Teen.

17:31

It's been very busy filling needs. Yeah, I'm.

17:34

In. Free Agency. Or you positions them

17:36

wealth to really focus more on the defense with

17:38

the draft edge rusher. I still think they've had

17:40

some young and vet investments there, but do they

17:42

have a dude? You know? if they feel like

17:44

there's do that they can pick and eight. I

17:46

love ya about that even corner. Yeah, I still

17:48

think yeah. Running mate raising to rallies is something

17:51

we're still looking for. That's where I

17:53

I land with Atlanta. Before

18:01

I answer Atlanta, Atlanta

18:04

is a top blank offense in the NFL in

18:06

2024. Oh, that's

18:08

fun. I

18:11

think I have to be mindful of the newness, right? Like

18:13

there's still, it has

18:15

to come together. Everything's new in terms of

18:17

coordinator. We have a new quarterback. We're incorporating

18:19

Darnell Mooney. I think

18:21

there's going to be somewhat of a curve. I

18:24

don't think any worse

18:27

than 12 with a ceiling to be much higher. I

18:29

think they're top eight. I

18:32

wanted to be a little bit mindful of the curve and Kirk

18:35

coming into a new situation and off

18:38

of an injury like I have high expectations

18:40

for Atlanta. They're probably going to be my pick to

18:42

win this division. I'll

18:47

go, I'll go

18:50

to the linebacker, be it inside

18:52

or outside linebacker? For Atlanta?

18:54

Yeah. I think

18:56

about, you know, Kate Nellis is a bit of a hybrid type player.

18:59

They paid him. Nate

19:01

Landman. Troy Anderson's

19:04

got to take the leap. Lorenzo

19:08

Carter, DeAngelo Malone. They got some,

19:10

they got some young guys here, like you said. If

19:12

I put all that in a bucket, I feel like I can

19:15

point to and say, okay, there's enough here where I'm going to

19:17

say this is. We've identified

19:19

all three levels of the Atlanta defense. Yeah. Get

19:22

some use in that defense here. And

19:24

get some early hits and let's rock and roll. Yeah.

19:29

We'll go to the north, the Detroit

19:31

line. Kyle, I know the Panthers. Oh,

19:34

the Panthers. Sorry. They're

19:37

still here. Unfortunately.

19:43

Edge, man. Edge. Just

19:45

traded Brian Burns. You didn't have any

19:47

in there anyway. No.

19:49

Your other two top guys last year were Gross

19:51

Mottos and Marquise Haids and they're not on the

19:54

roster. So it's like they signed

19:56

DJ Wanam and Caleb on Chason. We need

19:58

more. We're gonna

20:01

need more for sure on the

20:03

edge Now

20:06

let's go to the Detroit Lions who

20:09

have Infused

20:12

a lot Carlton

20:14

Davis by trade DJ

20:17

Reader at nose tackle versus Benito Jones

20:21

So you went Kindle Vildor to

20:24

Carlton Davis? You

20:26

in Benito Jones to DJ Reader You

20:30

went who was the other

20:32

edge last year? I Mean

20:35

Pascal still there Kaminsky you upgraded

20:37

Kaminsky to theoretically upgraded Kaminsky to

20:39

Marcus Davenport. You still have Kaminsky,

20:42

right? Zitler

20:45

stepping in for Jonah

20:49

Jackson at guard very

20:51

expensive Dude

20:53

and Zitler was one for set one for six.

20:55

Yeah. Yeah Everything else

20:58

everything else is chalk You would swap Zitler

21:00

for Jackson so that you can get reader

21:02

writer in plus whatever other guys you want

21:04

to point to Yeah, correct Fan

21:07

of that this team's better Yeah,

21:11

and from a needs perspective I

21:15

go wide receiver either wide

21:18

receiver depth or offensive line depth Are

21:21

the two spots? I think

21:23

if they can get a I think they need a guy that

21:26

can play on the line of scrimmage Like they need a true

21:28

outside perimeter wide receiver because I think I'm in Ross ain't Browns

21:31

slot right and then like James and Williams. Yeah, like I

21:33

feel like you just kind of need a More

21:36

dynamic version of what you had in Josh Reynolds is a

21:38

good player And I I'm

21:40

still curious with Donovan people's Jones who they got back for

21:43

a you know modest deal But I think adding

21:45

like if they were able if they were in

21:47

position to get like a Brian Thomas type player

21:49

That's that any money in the bank Any

21:53

get to the Brian talk myself he'll he'll

21:55

bite off some these more He Mitchell ain't blocking anybody's

21:57

got effort issues. You think that guy's a lion No

22:00

chance 80 Mitchell's aligned. So there you

22:02

go. I like print the jerseys Alright,

24:14

Bay Packers. Fascinating

24:17

team. Successfully did

24:19

the youth movement and

24:22

came out the other side with a winning record, a

24:24

playoff berth and playoff win. Or

24:27

a greenback. Must be nice, right?

24:30

Right. Like, oh, of course that's what happens.

24:32

That's what we do. I'm

24:35

gonna say offensive tackle. Oh, yeah. Rashid

24:38

Walker is not a serious option at left tackle, right? Yeah.

24:42

Could you see them rolling with Rashid Walker?

24:44

He played some snaps for him last year.

24:48

Of course I can. They've been on there and

24:50

justifiable. Elton Jenkins can play tackle if we need

24:52

him to and Zach Tom's a flexible player. So,

24:55

like, I don't feel like they're boxed into a corner.

24:57

But if I look at the roster and I

24:59

ask, where's the obvious upgrade opportunity? It's

25:01

left out. Yeah, I

25:04

think safety opposite Xavier McKinney deserves

25:06

some consideration. But if

25:08

I'm a Packers fan, I'm kind of tired of all the moving parts

25:10

of the offensive line. Like, I would love to just

25:12

have a front five that guys

25:15

stay in the same spot and you're not always

25:17

having to move them around and get by. Like,

25:19

their depth has been stressed for the last five

25:22

years in insane ways. So, I'd

25:24

want to get what they had

25:26

in Bakhtiyari before the injuries just

25:28

became impossible for him to continue

25:30

to overcome. Right. I

25:33

agree. Which then takes

25:36

us to Minnesota. Yeah,

25:38

I think the other two teams in this division are so

25:40

easy. It's quarterback. Both of

25:42

them. Yes, it's quarterback, man. Sam

25:45

Donald and Tyson Bajan. And

25:48

look, we're big Tyson Bajan fans, but CrossFitter

25:51

Tyson Bajan. Is he really?

25:53

Yeah. Oh, his dad's CrossFit gym owner. They said if

25:55

he wasn't going to make it in the NFL, he

25:58

was just going to CrossFit his life away. So

26:00

outstanding. Good

26:03

you do. We are just me. I'm a senior bowl. But.

26:07

Yet, Chicago moves on from Justin

26:09

Fields preemptively getting. Whatever.

26:11

They could. For. Just did. Why

26:13

are you buying that that he they wanted to

26:15

do right by the player and the hours a

26:17

night. Out have a justification we

26:19

can be kemal we got like same house get more

26:21

on the market for for just all fields. Yes,

26:24

As and it was like. In

26:27

the city offers for like

26:29

and significantly larger. For.

26:31

The other teams. Are

26:34

we to significantly? wasn't even that they took

26:37

less was that they took significantly less. Descend

26:39

just into a place where you compete. On

26:43

I think that's more likely to be true

26:45

then the Josue chasing. Leaving. Ten

26:47

million dollars on a table. Coming.

26:49

Out of his rookie deal? Yeah, I for one

26:51

year. three. Of

26:57

just. Quit touch of point on Minnesota

26:59

though. It: I'm busy in free

27:01

agency Her. They. Have.

27:05

And Jihad Ward I think yesterday signed. Like

27:09

he can't go play for the Michigan Wolverines

27:11

with with link Martindale source and find a

27:13

new way to make it the Nfl. Go

27:16

play for flow. They emit branding grin are.

27:19

Big. Money. Then. Kinkel on

27:21

the edge. Late. Cashman.

27:26

Aaron. Jones and in on the office size

27:28

of all. Trencher feel. Heard

27:32

about. Sacrifice.

27:34

In a corner. My.

27:37

Be others, are Loki good ad for them? Yeah

27:39

he's a sacrament. I feel like is is like

27:41

the last couple years. Ever since

27:44

if I let the on jacksonville right. Davey.

27:46

On Clowney of course. If. Year

27:48

deal everywhere. he's gonna bang somewhere. It might

27:50

be this year with Right of War as.

27:53

right? Make.

27:55

Sense a job word Found a home with

27:58

Brian Florists who's probably the most comparable. Into

28:00

a wink Martin now. right? Ah,

28:04

the. Nfc, East Dallas

28:06

Cowboys. Thought. Mental

28:08

Imam. You. Know

28:10

you don't like Tj Bass Brock Hoffman in

28:12

you know, Turn Steel. Three years starters with

28:14

our parents. way last year can go to

28:17

war would a man can. We.

28:19

Need some answers here? We the least two starters.

28:22

Yeah. As a good news is, it's

28:24

a good year for. Tackles.

28:26

And it's a good year for centres. So.

28:29

It's just a question of how do they choose

28:31

job to prioritize that and who do they have

28:33

confidence is gonna get to them and what's by

28:35

step back. Don't. Miller Cowboys guy had

28:37

a good tweet this week. He said it's

28:40

can be really hard for the cowboys to

28:42

screw this up Epic Twenty four. Gas.

28:46

Attack tackle their graves keep playing

28:48

Tyler Smith guard right. Just come

28:50

on. You. Gotta find any. it's enter

28:52

their. Draft. Jackson Power South Bank

28:54

Right like. It. Sets them up to

28:57

just kind of do what Dallas is done in

28:59

the draft. Did they find some offensive line answer

29:01

early and it works out in the just gotta

29:03

do it again. Honorable. Mention a running

29:05

back. Who. Do

29:07

it. Who is it? Rico.all right now what's has

29:09

his way. I don't do to swallow the top

29:11

to run back. Not oh baby. Oh

29:14

I'd love to see it. What's. Wrong with

29:16

that. Yeah complimentary skill sets. Late round picks it

29:18

and I brought back thou I liked I want

29:20

to build our our down to I think we

29:22

did. He gave them. We gave him a shout

29:25

out as a Sli burrow into the running back

29:27

line of code. Step. Of

29:29

the Philadelphia Eagles. Joseph.

29:33

Or an ordinance. Gonna. Need.

29:35

Some use who needs of as he can run

29:38

yeah. The.

29:41

Rainbow. Rick's job. No.

29:44

Brother Alabama, Alabama Park. Every overhyped

29:46

Se Si corner over the last

29:48

three years has found itself. On

29:51

this roster. Yeah.

29:54

Yeah we we are We There was once part

29:56

time. Job. Was a third round

29:58

take. There was once upon a time Rex was. First

30:00

round pick those ones but I windows

30:02

top ten Pick. You up is. Because he

30:04

was six, three, Ran. A four,

30:07

three and. I'm. At a pick six

30:09

in the national championship team. Now do it. He.

30:11

Is in the first round pick for a month

30:13

and as I don't season and. Ah

30:16

yes, Corner feels like the appropriate spot.

30:19

Although if they. Do.

30:21

Play. Yeah. I'll stay

30:24

color as you say if they do play musical chairs

30:26

and moves on. these guys are at as you could

30:28

justify it with Brandon Graham coming back on a one

30:30

year deal. but. Even if

30:32

they move reddit date they've apparently recommit to

30:34

Sweat Design, Josh Huff and infer from Pick

30:36

Lasher Nord Smith. so. Honorable.

30:41

Mention to right guard. The.

30:45

Done in the domino effect of Chelsea's retirement.

30:47

Yeah, what's interesting? They have like a couple

30:49

of. Recently high picks.

30:53

Scheduled. To step in their right.

30:55

Like with right So. We'll.

30:57

See if if they had the. Foresight,

31:00

Are not right foot you italy the work out her own.

31:03

So. We're. On his New York

31:05

Giants. Who are shotgun

31:07

shelling their. Offensive. Line. With.

31:10

Just bodies runyon. Standing.

31:13

Alumina for. Slot. Men:

31:16

Let's. Hope it works. Twenty. Nineteen

31:18

Bill Strategy. They. Sign eleven unrestricted

31:20

free agents that offensive line Sigurd about

31:22

a get some roster blue eyes work

31:24

out for that. kind of like that.

31:26

So. Trade for

31:28

bribery. It's. Really?

31:31

The defense's I guess it's interesting thing the the

31:33

additions in the defense a sizable for the Giants

31:35

have been jail mills in train for bribery. It's

31:39

It or the Elses single Terry Drew

31:41

Lock Mean Hearns. As. A

31:43

Mackenzie. The. Smooth off into wine

31:45

infusion. Do.

31:48

You. Feel like he got enough on

31:50

the line now. Is.

31:52

He does the youth. Prevent. You from

31:54

going back to that well again where

31:56

yet? I'm at wide receiver for the

31:58

Giants like what's our topic? Jaylen

32:00

Hyatt, Slayton

32:04

and... One Dale? Yeah, we

32:07

gotta get a wide receiver. They

32:10

need one of those top three receivers. That's what

32:12

they need in this draft. Honorable

32:16

mention of corner? Yes, it's exactly

32:18

what I have written down, 100%. I

32:20

mean, obviously last year's first round picking Deontay Banks, you got

32:22

a couple of young guys, Holmes came back,

32:25

I believe to assign a new deal

32:27

with the Giants for

32:29

competition for the nickel, but

32:31

the cloud, Trey Hawkins, Aaron

32:33

Rodden, Cornell Flott. We

32:36

gotta get something there. You gotta get better on the perimeter. Yep.

32:40

And the Washington commanders are easy because it's

32:42

quarterback. Honorable mention left tackle. Oh,

32:46

they got a lot of honorable mentions, to be honest with you. They

32:48

got a lot of draft picks and they have a lot of cap

32:50

space, so... But

32:53

their free agent spending

32:55

strategy was... Interesting.

32:59

I think that's maybe a team that we can get into, but I

33:02

mean, just... They

33:04

got meaningful additions to almost every

33:06

room on the roster.

33:10

Yeah, I think they've... That were brought in. They've

33:13

signed eight new starters in free

33:15

agency and there's probably more coming.

33:17

Allegretti, Beatas, Yep.

33:20

Ertz, Yep. Echler.

33:25

Yeah, I... Sure. Okay.

33:28

Bobby Wagner. Yep. Frankie

33:30

Louvou. Yep. Dorrance Armstrong.

33:33

Yep. One of Cleland

33:36

Farrell and Dante Fowler. Yep. Jeremy

33:40

Chin have a chance to be a starter? Yeah, I think

33:42

he's gonna be their marquee spell player. Michael

33:45

Davis. Dude, yeah. That's

33:49

10. Okay, so that's why

33:51

I said at least eight, right? So there's a

33:53

couple of maybe... Oh, by the way, McManus and

33:55

Tyler Ott added on special teams. Yeah.

33:59

Different stuff going on. on here, which you'd expect with

34:01

a new head coach, new general manager. This is what

34:03

they do. And they, what a great opportunity for them

34:05

with all their resources. Washington hat going into this off

34:08

season. And you know, you know, what's really tough about

34:10

that though, is that you mentioned left tackle is the

34:12

need. This team

34:14

spent a third round pick on Ricky Stromberg last off

34:16

season, a fourth round pick on Braden Daniels. There's

34:20

two reasonably

34:22

invested offensive

34:24

linemen and

34:27

the turnaround of response was we got to sign Alec Redding for

34:29

agency. And we got to sign Tyler Bialison for agency and we're

34:31

probably going to draft the guy per year old. Adam

34:33

Peters didn't draft those players, Kyle. I

34:36

know, but that's the latest

34:38

cautionary tale of stability

34:44

and look, the change needed to happen in

34:46

Washington. But for those individual players,

34:48

for individual players like Ricky Stromberg and Braden Daniels, you

34:50

got to look at them and you'd be like, yeah,

34:53

it's hard to know what, what maybe could have been here. We'll

34:56

add Quan Martin in the manual forms to

34:58

that. It's like their top four picks. And

35:01

yeah, like what's the path here? You got, I

35:03

think you should be concerned about all of that.

35:05

Like Quan Martin might be their most likely hit

35:07

there as a true nickel. Cause

35:09

I think that path is going to be there for

35:11

them in this Dan Quinn defense. That's

35:15

tough, man. So

35:19

you want to fire your GM? You want to fire your

35:21

coach folks? This is kind of, this is kind of like

35:24

fifth round pick KJ Henry. You

35:26

signed three starting, three edge guys with

35:29

starting experience. It's going to be a

35:31

bad screenshot in a few years. When we look back at

35:33

a 2023, manors draft class. Yes,

35:35

we are. Yeah, that's unfortunate.

35:38

But that's, that's the, the

35:41

other side of this team building coin is

35:43

when these big picture changes happen,

35:45

the domino effects for young players that get swept up,

35:48

I'd be calling about some of these guys. Oh

35:51

yeah. Yeah. Hey, hey, you guys had a

35:53

ton of money to spend. You spend a bunch of money and buried some

35:55

of your young guys down the depth chart, you want to, you want to

35:57

send them over. Yeah,

35:59

I think. I think that's always a smart thing to do

36:02

is when as a new regime change look at

36:04

that talent on that roster probably available

36:07

Well and especially in this year's draft class where

36:09

it's generally perceived after the first four or five

36:11

rounds Like if you got fifth six seventh round

36:13

picks You might the

36:16

general perception is you're getting an early head

36:18

start on you DFA's. Yeah Because

36:21

you don't have the depth in the class Call

36:23

on these guys 100% I Can

36:27

I get on can I send you five for brain Daniels if

36:29

I strike out on the offensive line class and

36:31

I like brain Daniels Food
