Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in

0:06

partnership with iHeartRadio.

0:22

Good Morning Football.

0:24

I can't believe it.

0:25

We're under a month at this point. Charles Davis,

0:27

he put out his latest mock draft. It looks

0:29

good so far. I feel like that Brock Bauers

0:31

pick to the Jets. That's a consensus for sure.

0:34

And then obviously Caleb Drake

0:36

and then Jade and Daniels. Drake May is

0:38

kind of the one that's a little bit of a wild card

0:41

and is kind of moving up and down

0:43

different boards, going to different teams with different

0:45

mocks. But I think that he's going to be the one

0:48

big surprise come draft day. So let's

0:50

do our own right now, out the entire

0:52

Brock by the way, all of

0:54

the experts here at the breakfast table.

0:56

All right, here we go.

0:58

We're gonna go team by team.

1:00

You guys have your GM hats on. We're gonna

1:02

do the top twelve picks here, twenty

1:04

seconds per pick.

1:05

You ready, rock and roll.

1:07

You're up.

1:08

Let's go first over, I.

1:09

Have the first pick.

1:10

You do.

1:10

Oh, this is so exciting And now I love New

1:12

York sweatshirt. You're picking for the Bear. Yes,

1:15

I should have a Bear's Dicka sweater on.

1:17

Huh.

1:17

But this one, you know, we lost

1:20

a lot of sleep about this one. No, we didn't.

1:22

We're going to draft a quarterback number one

1:25

overall. It's something that Bears have so rarely done

1:27

over their history. They're not going to trade the number one pick.

1:29

They're going to look to the great State of California

1:32

as a lot of people around these parts we're doing right

1:34

now, and they are going to draft. They're going to

1:36

draft with the number one overall pick in the GMFB

1:38

mock draft, Caleb Williams, quarterback

1:41

from the University of Southern California.

1:43

I don't care what color his nails are. I care

1:45

what his tape is. I care what his mind is, I care

1:47

what his arm is. Sorry, guys, Lions,

1:50

Vikings, Packers, the Bears are no longer yours to

1:52

push around. I'm going to take Caleb Williams number

1:54

one. This is the thing that changes everything for the

1:56

Bears. That's off the clock. Who is the number

1:58

two pick?

1:59

I have the number two pick.

2:00

I am representing Adam Peters, the general manager

2:02

for the Washington Command, And there's so

2:05

much talk has gone into what we're going to do

2:07

at the two pick. You've heard our head coach Dan quint

2:09

said, you know what, we're thinking about going

2:11

with a quarterback. But if somebody comes with

2:13

the bag to give us some nice picks,

2:15

we might be willing to trade out

2:17

of it. But not doing that today.

2:20

The number two pick, I'm looking at two quarterbacks.

2:22

Well, a lot of back and forth, but

2:24

when it all came down to it, we're going

2:26

with Jadeen Daniels at the number

2:29

two pick out of ls.

2:31

All right, he is our guy.

2:32

He's going to make a difference with the running and

2:34

passing ability that he gives to our team.

2:36

Cliff Kingsbury gets a gym.

2:38

I like it.

2:38

With the number three pick, I have the

2:40

New England Patriots and I'm

2:43

scrambling a little bit. We had Jaden Dam's

2:45

at the top. No, I'm going to text

2:47

Gerard Mayo. See what he says.

2:49

Did he say trade down?

2:51

Please tell me not he's saying trade down.

2:53

I told him, no, we're not doing that.

2:56

We're in.

2:56

We're in.

2:57

He just text me back.

2:58

With the number three overall pick,

3:01

the New England Patriots draft Drake

3:03

Man. We got Carolina quarterback

3:06

to New England.

3:08

The future is now let's go.

3:10

Okay, I'm up now, I got the Cardinals. I

3:12

am Monte Austin Fort and I've

3:15

just been waiting for this phone to ring,

3:18

ring, ring, ring, but no one is calling. It's

3:20

like, do I have this one?

3:21

Do not disturb?

3:22

No, I don't know. Got

3:24

to pick money?

3:25

Can it more?

3:26

And I don't need a quarterback at

3:28

this point, that's not an issue. We have Kyler

3:30

Murray, so I'm going to go ahead and

3:32

get him a number one wide receiver.

3:34

Give me Marvin Harrison.

3:35

June he gone, he gone

3:38

to the desert. I like

3:41

that pick Kyler at the Martin Harrison sounds great.

3:43

The Chargers have the fifth

3:45

overall pick. There's only the three quarterbacks taken.

3:48

Am I up with the Chargers?

3:49

Yes, you are the coach, JJ,

3:52

I know exactly.

3:53

You know.

3:54

It's a good interesting thing. Joe Wartz, what will you

3:56

do?

3:56

Imagine if Harbor had the onions to

3:58

say, listen, JJ's sitting there. I had

4:00

to get him, justin Herbert something

4:03

like that. Should I just do it? No?

4:05

I can't tell you how little I care about the buzzer in

4:07

this show or any other show. I

4:09

can't tell you can hit that thing. A thousand times. I'm gonna

4:11

sit here talking about whatever I want and checking my phone.

4:14

Mott Laura's is laughing. You know what we're gonna do.

4:16

We're gonna We're gonna build around Justin

4:18

Herbert. We're not gonna trade. Give me Roma Dunza.

4:21

I'm gonna take him right now. We need some wide receiver.

4:23

Eckler's gone, Keenan's gone, Gerald Everett's

4:25

gone. Instead of doing the unthinkable,

4:28

Jim Harbaugh does the practical, which he almost

4:30

never does. He goes by the beat of his own DRUMA. I'm gonna take

4:32

Rome Adunza to go to Los Angeles,

4:35

Jason. A lot of things going to Los Angeles.

4:36

A lot of things going on in Los Angeles.

4:39

But I'm gonna go with the New York Giants to

4:41

stay right here on the northeast side of the

4:43

country. And when the New York Giants have the number six

4:45

overall pick and you guys have heard

4:47

that ownership is okay if we decide

4:49

to go with a quarterback.

4:51

We've done all of our homework and.

4:52

We study all of these guys from Cayleb

4:54

Williams all the way down to the Bowl. Nixes the

4:57

Michael Pennocks and with the number

4:59

six overall pick your favorite.

5:01

New York Giants are going to draft Jay

5:04

J.

5:04

McCarthy quarterback controversy

5:08

beginning finally

5:10

begun, JJ.

5:12

Welcome to the Giants. Rightful?

5:15

Wow?

5:15

I mean now boards are changing. I

5:17

have the Tennessee Titans' seventh overall

5:20

pick.

5:20

We're on the clock. We just got

5:22

Calvin Ridley. We have DeAndre Hopkins,

5:25

but no nom moa league neighbors is sitting there.

5:27

You're gonna get him, and we're like, we just can't

5:29

do it because we gotta protect the

5:31

quarterback.

5:32

And we go with Joe All

5:35

it's in the bloodline.

5:37

Bring in our stud left tackle to

5:39

take us into the future.

5:41

Here we go, Will Levis, we got protection for you

5:43

all right, here we go.

5:45

But do you got Collin Falcons?

5:47

Falcons?

5:48

And this for me, it's

5:50

gonna be the first defender off the board.

5:52

Finally, this team has needed a pass rush

5:54

for so long, and honestly,

5:57

you could go anywhere on defense because the needs

5:59

are all there. But for me, I'm

6:01

gonna go the young man from Alabama.

6:04

Give me Dallas Turner going

6:06

to Atlanta. That will

6:09

absolutely upgrade that defense.

6:11

Immediately, and it's something that they.

6:12

Need to two time All American at

6:14

Alabama. And he's gonna be good. Is that makes

6:17

any plays?

6:17

All right?

6:17

He is off the clock. And guess who's back

6:20

on the Chicago Bears who had the

6:22

number one overall pick. I'm going to take the number nine

6:24

pick and we are going to run a four

6:26

to one forty running in to deliver the card.

6:29

Malik Neighbors, Welcome to Chicago, Illinois.

6:31

We have another wider. You know what I thought?

6:34

Defense And I'm just like I've been saying this all

6:36

week. Nesting is what they're doing for

6:38

Kleb right now. Nesting. They're

6:40

bringing in the white noise machine and

6:42

the comfortable blank and a little mobile and the beautiful

6:44

paint that's supposed to be calming and soothing. Theyk

6:47

KYLEI could take an edge rusher shirt. Neighbors

6:49

sitting there, can you imagine the first time Kayleb

6:51

breaks the huddle. He's got DeAndre, He's got Kennie,

6:53

he's got DJ. Morey's got co Comette's got Gerald

6:55

Ever, he's got Melak Neighbors.

6:56

He's got It's all yours.

6:58

Buddy's taken from here. The Bears are done. Let's start

7:00

the party.

7:01

I am next and I have the tenth overall

7:03

pick, and I will be representing the New

7:06

York Giants. I mean the New York Jets. I'm

7:08

sorry, just did the Giants for the Jets.

7:09

You look at it.

7:10

We gotta find more protection for

7:12

Aaron Rodgers, our quarterback is coming off an

7:14

Achilles injury. We have to do that and

7:16

protect him or get somebody on the

7:18

outside.

7:19

So with the.

7:20

Tenth overall pick, we're going

7:22

to draft Michael Pennix

7:25

junior.

7:27

Future. Yeah, with two older

7:29

quarterbacks roster. What

7:32

comes next?

7:32

You we got We've already secured

7:34

the offensive line through free agency. We

7:36

win got Mike Williams as a receiver on the

7:39

outside. We need to know what comes

7:41

in line next. Michael Penick Jr.

7:43

Welcome in. You can learn from Aaron.

7:45

You see him run. I mean, Pennis can fly.

7:49

They said he had to show the world he's not a bumm. He's an

7:51

athlete.

7:52

Real.

7:52

I love it.

7:53

But with the eleventh overall pick,

7:55

the Minnesota Vikings are on the clock. They

7:58

let Kirk Cousins go to Atlanta, so

8:01

they brought in Sam Darnold.

8:02

Everyone's you gotta get a quarterback for the future.

8:05

But we're gonna let Sam Donald Cook. We're

8:07

gonna let him go. And you know what we said.

8:10

Twelve personnel, two tight ends. Let's

8:12

go Bronco. Right, University

8:15

of Georgia, you with TJ. Hockinson,

8:17

Let's take over.

8:19

Scow All right, well, guys,

8:21

you know what that means. All right, bring the Broncos

8:24

are on the class the big one now, I

8:26

mean, Monty was waiting for

8:28

the Broncos to call because Broncos

8:30

kind of need a quarterback at this point.

8:33

But instead of reaching, because they're

8:35

not gonna do that, they're gonna go ahead

8:37

and roll with Jared Sidham and Ben Denucci

8:40

quarterback position.

8:41

And instead they're.

8:42

Gonna go with the young man here.

8:45

Oh god, I'm already out of time, Florida State.

8:47

I'm gonna go Jared Verse Christmas

8:49

one on the edge.

8:51

He gets a Premier.

8:53

We get after those AFC quarterbacks

8:55

named not named Jared Stidham.

8:57

So, yeah, this is.

8:58

Interesting because in real life this happens.

9:01

Okay, they sit there and they don't make the move.

9:03

Everybody else in all the quarter backs are gone, Like,

9:05

what what are the Broncos doing? You know what I'm saying,

9:07

Like it's almost like they better move or you're

9:09

going with your stead. Yeah, this is

9:11

interesting that you.

9:13

Can see Colleen scrambled.

9:17

Ju She's scrambling like Steve Young like

9:19

you I've never seen. God,

9:22

let that be a lesson of the Broncos like that. Look

9:24

what just happened.

9:25

My career starts for the quarterbacks

9:28

on their roster.

9:30

Is not at all amongst

9:32

both of those guys.

9:33

Right there, be good.

9:51

Here's what new Patriots running back Antonio

9:54

Gibson had to say about his initial impressions

9:56

of his new head coach.

10:00

Sitting down with him, you know, we had good conversation.

10:03

Definitely a different vibe

10:05

from a head coach just from the one

10:07

day I met him. And you know, nothing against coach Vera, but

10:10

he like he sat down and just having like

10:12

like just different conversations. He didn't even sound

10:14

like not to not to you know, put him under it, but like

10:16

it didn't sound like a coach that he sounded like he was

10:18

talking to one of the guys. And you know,

10:20

I feel like that's that's something you know that might

10:22

be a positive thing in the locker room for him to be able

10:24

to relate and communicate like that and

10:27

you know, kind of understanding both.

10:28

Sides of it.

10:29

Also, Man, he showed my daughter

10:31

a hell of a time, brought him to the office

10:33

and you know, just just treated her with

10:36

love. And I appreciate that for sure, especially

10:38

the first time meeting him.

10:40

Open door policy, family vibes

10:43

different feel perhaps in New England.

10:45

What do we make of how the Patriots have gone about

10:47

their off season so far? Peter, You could start all the way

10:50

back in that crazy forty eight hours of Belichick

10:52

moving on and then it was the drag mail

10:54

era.

10:55

Yeah, and nervous thought that maybe they'd bring in Vaible.

10:57

Saw the news over the weekend.

10:58

Fable's gonna work as a consultant with the Cleveland brous this

11:00

year. And that's where Verbele ends up and they go with Mayo, they

11:02

go from the institution and they bring them up. Quiet

11:06

offseason for the Patriots, a lot of rumors of they're

11:08

gonna go big on Calvin Ridley. They didn't land Calvin

11:10

Ridley, whether they were in the talks or not, there's a lot

11:12

of rumors they're gonna go big on a big free agent

11:14

defensive player.

11:15

They didn't.

11:16

They got the Ouch deal on a bargain

11:18

from what it seems like. But I look at

11:20

this Patriots roster right now, and I

11:22

don't know did they not have any interest in justin

11:24

fields to me that

11:26

at this point in the stage of where New

11:28

England's at, are they so sold on

11:31

one of these quarterbacks at number three? Because if you've number three,

11:33

you don't determine which quarterback you get.

11:35

You get delta quarterback. You know the Bears

11:37

will take one. Either Washington or whoever moves

11:40

up to two is gonna take one, and then you're

11:42

given the third pick. So you got to try

11:44

to convince yourself we love may we love Daniels, and

11:46

we love both of them no matter what it is, or

11:48

are you like we're so blown away by Marvin

11:50

Harrison.

11:51

I'm looking at that roster right now. I'm looking at that team.

11:53

They have kept to the Belichick

11:56

mantra even without Belichick there of being fiscally

11:58

sound and not making a major splash.

12:01

I give it an incomplete for their offseason

12:03

right now. And I don't know what Rod Mayo and his coaching

12:05

staff is going to bring, but I'd like hearing

12:07

Antonio Gibson saying what a positive conversation

12:09

they had. But you're telling me Antonio Gibson is the big

12:12

free agent signing. It's it's not Calvin

12:14

Ridley. That's that's not trading

12:16

for Brian Burns, and that's certainly not going

12:18

out and getting a major quarterback like other teams

12:21

went and did. I think they were linked to everyone from cousins

12:23

to fields to you name it. And they

12:25

ship mac off for what I said was a ham sandwich

12:27

and a bag of baseball. So that's what they got in exchange,

12:29

and then they didn't make anything else on the quarterback

12:32

weve except Kobe Brissett, who they know what he is, and he's

12:34

a nice number one until you have your roarchy

12:36

quarterback ready to go.

12:37

He's a great veteran leader who guys loves.

12:39

So I'm not necessarily doing flips

12:41

over the Patriots off season, and yet I don't want to great it

12:43

yet until I see after the draft what they bring in at

12:45

quarterback.

12:46

I think the type of Deli sandwich is important when Peter

12:48

kind of qualifies.

12:49

Like what Mack j.

12:51

Yeah, it's like, really it's basic. The

12:54

bag of balls has actually changed from football.

12:56

To baseball at times.

12:57

But like, now it's baseball.

12:58

Yeah, but basic Deli sandwich

13:00

season for pack Jones.

13:02

On the transaction wire, I said, mac Jones was traded for a Hamson.

13:05

I can only I'm a reporter.

13:07

All I can do.

13:08

It's baseball season right now. I

13:10

look at the Patriots and to your point, you

13:12

think about it, for the past two decades

13:14

has been Bill Belichick, and he's been

13:16

the voice of the New England Patriots. And I kind

13:19

of mirrored us to this young kid. You've been kind

13:21

of under your dad's rule, and your dad

13:23

always would say to you, Hey, as long as you're under my roof,

13:25

you're gonna live by my rules. If you don't like it,

13:27

you can get out on your own and figure out life for

13:29

yourself. And you're that young kid that you know

13:31

what you finally get from under the thumb

13:34

and now you're out on your own and you're telling all your

13:36

buddies like, oh, you know, we're hitting the club, We're staying

13:38

out as late as we want, We're having house parties.

13:40

We're going to go all in. And that was

13:42

Jermeo at the beginning of his tenure.

13:44

He said, Hey, we have cash to burn,

13:46

and you're fired up.

13:47

You're excited.

13:48

You can't wait to see what the night life is

13:50

going to hit for and then all of

13:52

a sudden, you get there and you start looking at the rundown

13:55

of the utilities and everything you got going off,

13:57

and how much furniture costs and what the tax

13:59

is going to be. Like you like, hey, fellas, about

14:02

that club. We're not gonna be able to do table

14:04

service, no bottle service. We're gonna have to go in through

14:07

general admission just twenty dollars.

14:08

And you look up and you're like, you know what, we were responsible.

14:11

It was a good month.

14:12

And now it's a Friday night and you look around and you're just

14:14

like, whoa, this is what we're dealing with. And I

14:16

feel like that's the Patriots right now, because

14:18

that voice is still in their head of like, all right,

14:20

we got to be responsible. We're gonna make the necessary

14:23

picks and moves to build our team.

14:25

And I think that started with them kind of taking

14:28

care of some of their own transition,

14:30

tagging Kyle Duggar offensive

14:32

lineman, Big Michael Winnell keeping him

14:35

there in New England. Those are the moves that

14:37

we've kind of seen throughout the years from

14:39

the New England Patriots, of keeping guys

14:41

of their own, a Devin mccordy, a Dante

14:44

high Tower, a James White, a Julian

14:46

Edelman, a Rob Goerkowski, keeping

14:49

those guys in there to build your

14:52

organization around those centerstones,

14:54

those centerpieces, guys that do it the

14:56

exact right way.

14:58

Who am I to say that that's the wrong.

15:00

Way to go.

15:00

They've had a lot of success doing it that

15:02

way. Yes, it's gonna be a different vibe in

15:04

a building, which we heard from Antonio Gibson

15:07

talking about who Jerai Meo is as

15:09

a person beyond just a coach, and how

15:11

personable he is. That's going to be a different

15:13

vibe of Bill Belichick. But I look

15:15

at their offseason moves and you're just like that

15:17

Friday Night.

15:19

I don't really know they didn't really do anything

15:21

to.

15:21

Move the needle at all. I like the Jacoby

15:23

Brissett move. He's a veteran, he's a leader. But

15:26

I don't know that there's enough in that locker room for

15:28

whether it's Jacoby Brissett, whether it's Jaydeon Daniels

15:30

or Drake May to really do anything

15:32

in the AFC East this year. But

15:34

I feel like they're looking at it as like, you know what, we're gonna

15:37

be responsible and we're gonna build for the future when

15:39

I just go out and spend a ton of cash and just

15:41

bring guys in and make moves. But it's

15:43

a rough Friday night right now, Kyle, I don't know what

15:45

you're looking like at which her prospects all for

15:47

the weekend.

15:48

Those utilities hit though, don't they.

15:50

Jay.

15:50

If you look at the Patriots, you're like, look,

15:53

that's very nice that you're being prudent

15:55

and or frugal. You know how bad

15:57

we were last year. Maybe maybe I'm not

15:59

saying we Bruno Mars this thing,

16:01

you know, but that's a

16:04

little more aggressive. I looked

16:06

at the Patriots fans right now. You know what I would say to them.

16:08

I'd say, well, the Celtics are really good. I

16:10

get excited about that just to like basketball

16:13

in Boston because the Celtics are really good.

16:15

Here's why I look at the Patriots is that they're clearly

16:18

going to be looked at as the fourth team

16:20

in the AFC East, All right, yeah, Dolphins,

16:22

Bills, Jets. I don't know if there's another team

16:25

in any other division that is looked at

16:27

as far down as the number four

16:29

team in their own division as the Patriots are,

16:31

and that includes the Panthers in relation to

16:33

the rest of their division. This is going to be a

16:35

dead bottom fourth team. And look,

16:38

you're excited about Drod Mayo, sure,

16:40

but this offense was unbelievably

16:43

bad. Do you remember last year? Where's

16:46

the documentary on this the Patriots

16:48

season where Dennis Allen

16:51

went into Foxborough in front

16:53

of the banners and shut out the

16:55

Patriots. Where's the documentary

16:57

on where Brandon's Staley went

17:00

into Foxborough in front of the banners

17:02

and shut out the Patriots were

17:04

shut out twice last year by

17:06

guys who shouldn't be shutting teams out. All

17:09

right, so it's fine. It happened and fell apart.

17:11

Belijek needed to go, fine, so go

17:13

fix it.

17:14

My god.

17:14

I love Antonio Gibson as much as the next

17:17

person. He's always that guy you like. I guess

17:19

I'll start him during the bye week. I'm

17:22

happy for him and his kids, and I'm glad

17:24

that coach Mayo was very friendly to him. Are we gonna

17:26

score any points? Because the Jets are gonna

17:28

be reloaded. The Dolphins are the Dolphins and the

17:30

Bills and the Bills? Who are you? You can have

17:32

an adjustment period, everybody does,

17:35

but what are you doing to adjust? I can't

17:37

believe this. I can't believe we're supposed

17:39

to be excited. Look, Kobesett's a

17:41

great guy.

17:42

What are we doing?

17:43

I guess they're gonna draft a quarterback. That's great. What

17:45

is he gonna show up to? We've seen recently

17:47

what happens to these quarterbacks. You draft really high

17:49

and there's nothing to show up to. Justin fields

17:52

Rice Young. Robertkraft has never had

17:54

a top three draft pick ever since he bought

17:57

the team, he has never had it. He has it now.

17:59

Just know that, like you got it. You gotta put some furniture,

18:02

you gotta have some food in the fridge. When they get there, it's

18:04

not to go well. I just can't believe it. They

18:06

were so bad last year and they're going to draft a quarterback.

18:08

That's great, But what is left for him? I can't see

18:10

a team across the NFL that is further down as the

18:12

number four team the division. That's the Patriots.

18:15

Yeah, the Patriots, Kyle, to your point, might

18:17

lead the who are you? Conversation? The

18:19

most this offseason because we can't quite figure them out.

18:21

And a lot of that has to do with you watch a team go

18:23

through free agency, you're like, I think I'm starting

18:25

to understand your identity and then maybe the draft

18:28

solidifies that assumption. But because

18:30

they've kept their cards so close to the vest and they

18:32

won't show us who they are now we're waiting for

18:34

the draft and to find them. I'm curious

18:36

about their coaching staff and the who are you capacity

18:39

and mccordial A'll lean on you here. What

18:42

from what you know of these guys and

18:44

their personalities and knowing

18:47

Gerrod and he is the one that's bringing in

18:49

a Dante Hi Tower. Ben McAdoo

18:52

as a senior offensive assistant, talk

18:54

to us about just the nature of this coaching room

18:56

and.

18:57

What these meetings are like.

18:58

As you look on this list, a lot of these guys

19:00

are new that are being brought in that

19:02

are already on the website. I think there's going to

19:04

be some holdovers of guys that were on that staff

19:07

a year ago, especially on the defensive side of

19:09

the ball with DeMarcus Covington taking

19:11

over, that will remain there.

19:12

But when you look offensively, it's a

19:14

lot of different guys.

19:16

And you mentioned Dante high Tower is a guy that

19:18

played for a long time there. He's a young guy.

19:20

Taekwan Underwood came from college as

19:22

an assistant wide receiver coach.

19:24

He's a young guy.

19:25

Tyler Hughes as a guy brought back that

19:27

was in New England before. But I also

19:29

think when you're bringing in some of this young coaching

19:31

staff to the effect of what Gerard

19:34

Meyo is, you have veterans like mcadoon,

19:36

like Van Pell who have been around him for a long

19:38

time, specifically on the offensive

19:40

side of the ball, that's going to try to help create

19:43

change. And you look at Van Pell and Jacoby

19:45

Brissett. Those two guys were together in Cleveland

19:47

the year Deshaun Watson was suspended for all

19:49

of those games and Jacobe was handed the keys

19:52

of the organization, and everybody in that locker

19:54

room talked about his leadership and what

19:56

he provided for that team throughout that time.

19:58

I think that's some of what they're looking for. But

20:01

it is a lot of new coaches and I think that's

20:03

what Gerard Meyo is try to do of saying,

20:05

you know what, yes, we want to build off

20:07

of what the Patriots were and the success that they've had,

20:09

But we're going to have a brand new way of doing

20:12

it and a lot of that his new voices in the coaching

20:14

room.

20:14

So the draft brings the opportunity to be brand

20:16

new. As we look forward to the draft in New

20:18

England, as comments and holds the third

20:21

overall pick, not making any big splashes and pree

20:23

agency, Patriots, do you need

20:25

to do you have to at that number three

20:27

spot draft to quarterback or do

20:29

you trade down and a mass more picks considering

20:32

the lack of movement they made in freegency?

20:34

Or do you take Marvin Harrison and get a number one wide

20:36

receiver and do what the Cardinals did a way back when

20:38

when they were like, look there's a lot of quarterbacks

20:40

and we need a quarterback. But Larry Fitzgerald's on the board

20:42

and we're taking him. It's like one of those rare prospects.

20:44

How high do you rank Marvin

20:47

Harrison on your board where he would be worthy of a third

20:49

overall pick when you're so desperate for quarterback.

20:52

I can't imagine them passing on quarterback

20:54

at three, though, especially unloading mac

20:56

Jones the way they did for what I said the aforementioned

20:59

compensation of a hand sandwich in a bag of baseballs

21:02

and then choosing to go Perseet, who is a

21:04

steady veteran leader but is not looked

21:06

at as one of the QB ones of the league

21:08

over the last decade, He's always been a great QB

21:10

two who could step in in a pinch. And last year

21:13

Brissette was awesome for Washington once

21:15

they finally put him in this set of Sam Howell.

21:17

He led them against a giant comeback against the Jets

21:19

and was competitive against the Rams. All that said,

21:22

you're looking at a quarterback rich draft. To Kyle's

21:24

point, Robert Craft inherited

21:26

Drew Bledsoe. He's never had a top

21:29

three pick. I think this is a quarterback

21:31

draft, and you take mayor Daniels, and you roll

21:33

the dice, and you convince yourself, whether you like it or

21:36

not, that those are one of the two guys that are going to be the quarterback

21:38

for the foreseeable future. And if you really want to make the argument

21:40

for McCarthy and someone falls in love with JJ McCarthy,

21:42

do that too. I don't think with the situation

21:45

of their roster, with the situation

21:47

of their owner now and during this part of his life

21:49

cycle and wanting to win again, and with the situation

21:52

on fan base just so hungry for anything exciting.

21:54

I don't think you can pass on a quarterback and

21:56

make the argument, well, for team building purposes,

21:58

we actually need to do X, Y and Z. Let's hold off on

22:01

quarterback for another year.

22:02

See.

22:02

I wouldn't be surprised if they do that.

22:03

I to your point, I look at what they've done

22:06

in free agency and you're saying, I think it

22:08

kind of matches up with the fact of roster

22:10

building and looking for to trying to build

22:12

a team that can actually compete to win a Super Bowl. I wouldn't

22:14

be surprised if they looked at it. And Elliot Wolf

22:16

the kind of GM that is right now, does

22:19

he look at jayde and Daniels and does he look at

22:21

Drake May and say, you know what, I can see

22:23

these guys with the confetti falling around

22:25

them and us winning a Super Bowl? Because

22:27

if not, if you see a guy like Amarvin

22:30

Harrison Junior or one of these offensive

22:32

tackles strigs that you've talked about, this draft

22:35

is so heavy of Joel

22:37

going in that first round. Do you see

22:39

one of those guys as potential cornerstones

22:41

of your organization, and maybe a year

22:43

later or two years later, you see the quarterback

22:45

that fits or is it a quarterback later on in the draft

22:48

that you think you can develop over time.

22:50

I look at the moves they've made so far, and I

22:52

wouldn't be surprised to see them possibly

22:54

take a guy. I don't think they trade back, but take

22:57

a guy at that number three spot. They didn't think we'll be

22:59

a Patriot for his entire career in the next

23:01

ten to fifteen years. What they've done in the past,

23:03

I would not be so real.

23:05

Question what from your talk of all your

23:07

Patriots buddies over the years, and of course you follow

23:09

the game and we do the show every day, is there

23:12

a preference between Daniels and may you

23:14

think for Patriot fans or from the people on the Patriot

23:16

Your brother was Patriot for fifteen years ye opinion.

23:18

Yeah, I think there's some excitement around Jayde and

23:20

Daniels.

23:21

I think the dual threat of it.

23:23

For so many years being in that building,

23:25

would always talk about those type of

23:27

quarterbacks with the hardest to defend, guys

23:29

that you had to keep them in the pocket, but then

23:31

they can still beat you with your arms. So I do think

23:34

Jayden Daniels brings a lot to the table.

23:36

It just a matters if they see him truly

23:38

as a like that position we just talked

23:40

about, I'm all putting your careers at on the stage twenty

23:43

one and the twenty two draft of quarterbacks no longer

23:45

being on their ross that we're given an opportunity.

23:47

You just had that with Matt Jones who's no longer there.

23:50

Do you truly see one of those guys that are going

23:52

to be there and be your franchise guy.
