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.
