1:48
Play. Okay, The
1:50
draft is going to start with
1:52
quarterbacks met. We know that. Yeah,
1:54
I'm seeing some very strong trend.
1:57
Some surprising, some maybe not as
1:59
surprising. that just about all of the
2:01
people who are really plugged in are fully
2:03
believing and on board with, as
2:05
we are here now on draft morning, morning
2:07
for me, draft afternoon is where it's hitting
2:09
now for you on the East
2:11
Coast there. And
2:14
it starts with quarterback, we know it's Caleb
2:16
Williams number one, and really it feels now
2:19
almost locked into two and three with Jayden
2:21
Daniels and Drake May. Do you think there's
2:23
an opportunity for that to be shaken up
2:25
at all with the top three picks? That
2:27
being also that the Patriots probably not moving
2:29
out of that three spot and Drake May
2:31
is the guy they wanted there. Maybe if
2:33
May was gone at two, that's where we
2:35
could see the Patriots trade out and it
2:37
feels like it's not gonna go that way.
2:39
That's Daniels to Drake May three, nobody changing
2:42
draft slots in the top three. The
2:45
only one I wanna address is the Patriots.
2:47
I do think it goes Williams Daniels, of
2:49
course. Now by all accounts,
2:52
Bellachat, Big Bad Wolf, I mean,
2:55
boy, they make him sound like
2:57
he never did anything for the
2:59
organization and whatever. Are they gonna
3:01
hide the Lombardi's in a closet?
3:04
Right, right. You can't just play those anymore,
3:06
man. You couldn't operate anything with Bill Belichick
3:08
around. I didn't know anything. Anyway,
3:10
it sure seems like the crafts are
3:13
more and more involved in this. And
3:17
even Elliott Wolf, they never really gave him
3:19
the GM title. He's just doing GM stuff.
3:21
I never really realized that until the last
3:24
couple of days. So it does
3:26
sound like the crafts and Robert Kraft's
3:28
son, I guess is scheduled to take over a year
3:30
from now. So this is about to be his show,
3:32
are in charge. And
3:34
I think that's something we need to be really
3:37
relevant of or really aware of with all these
3:39
teams. Like Sean Payton's got all the power in
3:41
Denver. If he wants a quarterback, he's gonna get
3:43
one. The owners in New
3:45
England are taking their team back from
3:47
Bill and I think they're not going to leave
3:50
this without a quarterback. I just don't know if it's
3:52
gonna be McCarthy or May. And so,
3:54
and here's the difference. So Robert Kraft, you
3:56
know, and different
3:58
owners around the NFL got... into the NFL
4:00
in different ways. So if
4:02
you have a you know, a business man
4:05
who bought an NFL team and football wasn't
4:07
his first business, then
4:10
he might not be the case, right? And I
4:12
don't know, depot or Gillette or whatever, you know,
4:15
right, you know, he might try to implement business
4:17
things. We've seen how you know, sometimes that's very
4:19
difficult, whether it's David Tepper, or
4:21
you know, anybody, sometimes that's not it
4:24
doesn't translate as well, football
4:26
business to real business, as
4:28
far as personnel and on field stuff goes the other
4:30
business side of things, I'm sure is very similar marketing
4:33
and some other things. But but
4:35
I don't think you can run it like IBM, you know what I mean?
4:37
Right? But if you are the son
4:39
of a NFL owner and grew up in football,
4:42
you know, the football business. And
4:44
you can bet if I or my family owned
4:46
an NFL team, I would be the
4:48
GM, nothing would happen on draft day
4:50
without me saying so. And I would probably call
4:52
in the card. But that's me. And that's, you
4:54
know, and I do a football here. Right? Right.
4:56
And so I could see
5:00
very well that if you know, I was Bob
5:03
Kraft's son, and he's like, All
5:05
right, about to turn it over to
5:07
you next year, I would say, cool, it's gonna
5:09
run a lot more like say the Dallas Cowboys
5:11
with ownership in charge than it is maybe some
5:13
other organization. So I can absolutely see that changing
5:15
things quite a bit there in New England. And,
5:18
and it also like growing up
5:20
in football probably means you're a lot better at it
5:22
than maybe some other owners, too. So that's not a
5:24
bad thing, either. The Cowboys haven't
5:26
run their organization poorly, even though the Jones family
5:29
is the ones running the draft. In fact, they've
5:31
drafted pretty well top half the league, you know,
5:33
oh, yeah, one of the best a bad job
5:35
with that. But
5:37
before Al Davis lost his fastball,
5:40
the Raiders did a great job with that. And we're, you
5:42
know, ahead of the times in some ways, and then kind
5:44
of fell behind the times a little bit with, you know,
5:46
some of the weird picks, they were James
5:48
jet, and you know, these all speed, just
5:50
some weird stuff starting to happen there with
5:52
the with the drafts. But
5:54
all that is to say that, yeah, it's a different
5:57
era there in New England. But
5:59
when you have the opportunity, to draft a franchise quarterback,
6:01
you do it. They're not moving out unless
6:03
they don't like the options that are there.
6:05
And it really has felt all along like
6:08
Drake May was sort
6:10
of their their guy.
6:12
And if May went, they
6:14
would be willing to move out. And if
6:16
May's there, they drafted. And it's,
6:18
you know, and obviously, there's a, there's
6:21
a reason the Vikings are doing what they're doing. I think
6:23
it's gonna have to be picked four or five, the
6:25
Vikings move up to not three. I
6:27
tend to agree. I think that back
6:31
to my original point, these, the
6:34
more I get involved with teams and the older I
6:36
get, the more I realized these are 32 very
6:39
different entities, and they're all run
6:41
very, very differently. And so
6:43
in a lot of ways, they compete in a
6:45
lot of ways, they're a conglomerate, they're, you know,
6:47
a monopoly, monopoly go that,
6:50
you know, I'll keep the league rolling as
6:52
one and they hire this commissioner to keep
6:54
them all rolling as one. And the owners
6:56
do that. But every team's very different, you
6:58
know, like Tennessee's in a weird spot right
7:00
now. And Vrable being gone is kind of
7:02
like Belichick being gone. They're not going to
7:04
do things the same way. They don't want Derek
7:06
Henry and, you know, 350 pound guards anymore,
7:10
you know, I mean, like, all
7:12
these teams are a lot different. I think you need
7:14
to look at through that lens tonight. I think that's
7:17
a great point. And it really ties into the Los
7:19
Angeles Chargers, which is one of the ones I wanted
7:21
to bring up because people keep
7:23
pointing to Jim Harbaugh and saying, man,
7:25
he wants a he's a he wants
7:28
a physical team. He's going to draft
7:30
an offensive lineman. It's offensive tackler bust.
7:32
I am seeing J.C. Latham in
7:35
most of those insider mock
7:37
drafts this morning at pick five, not even after
7:39
a trade back because I love J.C. Latham at
7:41
11. Let's say they traded with
7:43
the with the Vikings, which I still think
7:45
would be my official mock draft, which I
7:47
might jump on my channel later and
7:49
just do a little last minute mock draft. I think it's going to
7:51
happen. I lay some five or late
7:53
from 11 after the chart.
7:56
Chargers move out of five with
7:58
the Vikings is probably how it happens. Marvin
8:00
Harrison before. That's what I think is
8:03
the likelihood today in this thing. Then
8:07
there's been some pushback on that idea because
8:09
people go back to his time with
8:11
the 49ers and say, well,
8:13
actually, if you look at it, they drafted a lot of
8:15
wide receivers. And then I think to
8:18
myself, well, it was a different structure
8:20
then. It was a GM who hired Jim
8:22
Harbaugh. The GM, Trent Balke at the time,
8:24
was making the picks, not Jim Harbaugh. And
8:26
that's why there was a lot of fighting
8:28
about stuff. I guarantee
8:31
you, Jim Harbaugh did not want to draft AJ
8:33
Jenkins. You know what I mean? Right. Good call.
8:35
Yeah. So that
8:38
said, now the structure is different. There's
8:40
one guy in charge and it's
8:42
Jim Harbaugh. And Ortiz, who the
8:45
GM is there now, obviously, is
8:47
going to have a big say in things. But there's
8:50
a different tip of the pyramid in all
8:52
of these structures. And is it
8:54
the coach or the GM? The
8:57
question. And it's for sure the
8:59
coach now in LA, which I
9:01
think is why everyone's throwing in
9:04
not only a tackle and not
9:06
Joel, but actually JC Latham, that's
9:08
the big run blocking massive
9:10
right tackle. Right tackle. Yeah. I agree
9:12
with everything you said, because my top
9:15
five would be the same as well.
9:17
I think Minnesota will get the five.
9:19
They'll get McCarthy there, maybe May, but I
9:21
don't think so. I think May probably ends up
9:23
in New England. And a lot of it's
9:25
because like we were saying before, and we've been talking about,
9:28
like Harbaugh's situation is so much
9:30
different than the Jets. The Jets have like
9:32
one year to get it right. Harbaugh
9:34
has got a leash. They just gave him a ton
9:37
of money in a sort of
9:39
a non-chargers like way. And you are
9:41
the czar of this whole thing. They
9:43
could go 0 and 17 next year and
9:46
he would still be safe. So I think if
9:48
you're Harbaugh, I want to
9:50
bring in as many of my guys as
9:52
possible. Am I turning my back
9:54
on a neighbor's or a Marvin? Yeah,
9:56
that's hard to do or an alt
9:58
or a Latham. But I would. want those
10:00
two first round picks from the Vikings. I want a future
10:02
pick maybe, you know what I mean? I want to bring
10:04
in 12 draft picks,
10:07
maybe four of them from Michigan, who knows.
10:09
But, you know, I want to
10:11
bring in my guys, my culture with talented
10:13
day two first round pick type guys. I
10:15
don't need to star right now. I don't
10:17
have to win it this year. Thanks
10:20
for the check here from
10:23
Jason in the chat. James Jett, undrafted
10:25
free agent, 256 receptions, 4,017 yards, 30
10:28
touchdowns. As soon as I said
10:30
I knew it was a bad example of what I was talking
10:32
about, I was just trying to think of fast guys that were
10:35
Raiders, right? Oh, yeah. I
10:38
appreciate that. I appreciate that, Jason. James
10:40
Jett, great, great, great, great undrafted free
10:43
agent. That's fantastic stuff.
10:45
All right. And appreciate everyone jumping into the chat

you're totally a twitter handle. Same for
13:13
me. You. to.com/at Bt. Peacock is over
13:16
time with Brand Peacock. Oh Tbp, I'll
13:18
be streaming live during the entire first
13:20
round. Don't know a lot on Forty
13:22
Matters. post pics throughout the draft as
13:24
well and doing those things and I'm
13:26
having a lot of on their on
13:28
the new channel A Call it over
13:30
time because you'll sometimes these locked on
13:32
podcast. There's their stuff the doesn't fit
13:34
in here and you want to go
13:36
get a little loose in and bill
13:38
longer do whatever supertax live chats just
13:40
have fallen with with not really any
13:42
structure so that's why I wanted aba.
13:44
A secondary and little extra tertiary
13:46
I guess to the Mario Luigi
13:48
jails locked on. Forty. niners peacock
13:51
moves and so i'll be doing that and into
13:53
right there from the studio like the guerra arena
13:55
yeah that's where i'm at the middle or i'll
13:57
be right in here for a lot of hours
14:00
weekend. Yeah, absolutely. And,
14:02
and not, this
14:04
is okay, the number one
14:07
rule of the NFL
14:09
Draft, especially round one, do
14:11
not spoil the picks. I will not be on
14:13
Twitter. It spoils
14:15
the picks. I will mute you.
14:17
I will block you. If you are a TV channel that
14:19
shows the guy on the phone while he, you know, before
14:22
it's been announced, and we don't know who the pick is
14:24
going to be, the
14:26
networks have done such a better job, Matt,
14:28
of not spoiling. It used to be, you
14:30
knew everything. Horrible. You knew the first pick
14:32
is already signed before the draft started. The
14:34
second pick's on the phone, you knew who
14:36
that was going to be. And I hated
14:38
that. Don't spoil picks. Don't ruin the time
14:40
for everybody else. If you're spoiling picks, you're
14:42
kicked out of the live chat, your channel's
14:45
off my TV, your account is blocked on
14:47
Twitter. So that's the number one rule for draft day.
14:49
Don't spoil the picks and just have a little bit
14:51
of fun as this thing goes. Because it is Christmas
14:53
time. You don't want to know what's in the box
14:55
before you unwrap it. Absolutely. Good stuff.
14:57
So real quick, this is in self promotion time. I
15:00
didn't mean that to, you know, take over this, but
15:02
I was just curious what you plan on doing. If
15:04
you just have to feed up, eating wings, hoping for
15:06
your favorite Niner or what all you were doing. If
15:09
anyone's interested, you can go to steelers.com. And
15:11
I am the only one that's on every
15:13
second of the draft that covers it. And
15:15
that's usually my role. It is once again
15:18
this year, I'll be at the facility right
15:20
next to the six Super Bowl trophies, huge
15:22
coffee machine that I hit hard and they
15:24
feed us like crazy. And if you
15:27
want to go to steelers.com or 970 local
15:29
here in Pittsburgh, I will be on every second
15:32
of the draft. Make sure you
15:34
get the marathon, dude. Make sure you get some
15:36
water and some tea, maybe some honey in there
15:38
as well with that. It's
15:40
like 22 hours. It's long. Yeah, but it's
15:42
loose too. It's fun now. Seventh
15:48
round gets a little rough,
15:50
you know, but I
15:52
can't wait. I'm going to tune in. I want to hear
15:54
those scouting reports on the seventh rounders, man. That's why I'm
15:56
there. Who
15:59
can we get the can talk about seventh rounders. Oh, Williams.
16:02
And this year, the Steelers don't even have
16:04
a seventh round pick. So you sit around,
16:06
but you can't even get excited about Spencer
16:08
Anderson in the seventh round, you know, we
16:13
get this question a lot and not we're gonna
16:15
get more into this stuff. But Michael asked the
16:17
question. My son wants to be a scout in
16:19
particular suggestions. Yes, there is one. It's who you
16:21
know, go make friends
16:23
with people in places. Other
16:28
don't get used to having money or you
16:30
know, eating well or living in a place
16:32
for a long time. Yeah, volunteer
16:35
every way you possibly can, you know,
16:38
pound on doors, be aggressive. But
16:40
one advantage you guys have that I didn't was
16:43
you could start your own YouTube channel. Like when I got
16:45
into stuff when I was 23 years old, that stuff
16:48
didn't exist. So at least you couldn't get
16:50
on Twitter and maybe stand out some way, shape or
16:52
form. I'm not saying you want to be media, but
16:54
I mean, it's at least you have a different outlet
16:56
than I did. Question
17:01
here from Ryan. He
17:03
says, Well, maybe it may more of a statement at
17:05
first. What a pleasure to see you. What
17:07
are the chances to see? Ryan, I went
17:09
to high school together. What's up, Chris? Oh,
17:12
no. What do you think? Why does fever
17:14
trade? There's a lot of heat. Um, that's
17:17
one of those things that I think
17:19
was, uh, Norris. Uh,
17:22
George Norris from underdog fantasy.
17:24
Which one of the fantasy?
17:27
He's from underdog.
17:29
Yeah. Underdog fantasy. He
17:32
said something very interesting. And by the way, he's like
17:34
mock draft champion. So he's really good. He won a
17:36
million bucks or whatever that one year. Yeah. They did
17:38
very good work over there. Did he win a million
17:40
dollars for that? Maybe more. He
17:43
was the grand prize winner. Like,
17:46
you know, it was like, worth anything other than
17:48
cloud. Okay. Wow. No, he was.
17:50
Yeah, he was the champ. Yeah, right. Um,
17:54
uh, he said what he heard
17:56
is that I use gone
17:59
like that's going to happen. And he
18:02
didn't elaborate much or who he heard it from. Steelers
18:06
Niners, could there be a thing there? We don't
18:08
want to spend time on this. We talk a
18:10
lot of teenagers, but that's out there. So
18:13
I think I'm on
18:15
Ross St. Brown signing yesterday of 30
18:17
million. All of a sudden,
18:19
just says, wow, the price of tea
18:21
in China has gone up, you know, for CD
18:24
lamb, let alone Justin Jefferson, IU. I mean, that's
18:26
going to be the jump off point for those
18:28
guys. And I don't know that IU could get
18:30
a ton more than St. Brown or, you
18:32
know, but Lambwell and Jefferson Shore will.
18:34
And the Bengals and Steelers aren't going
18:36
to work together on a T Higgins train.
18:38
No, right, right, right. So and I
18:41
probably IU robust if you're training for a wide receiver
18:43
for the Steelers. Yeah, I was going to throw this
18:46
out there, though. And this is what I've warmed up
18:48
to. And it's a consolation prize. But I
18:50
think Cortland Sutton is very much in play for
18:52
the Steelers. And I think at his price and
18:55
his age, he has two years left on
18:57
a deal. Cost you probably a fifth
18:59
round pick and then you draft Ricky Pearsall in
19:01
the second round. You know what I mean? Like that
19:03
to me makes more sense for Pittsburgh. Zane,
19:06
I like you quite a bit. Zane, you're worthy
19:08
wide receiver for Schrager, who's
19:10
another good mock drafter, who is plugged in,
19:12
talks to a lot of people around the
19:15
NFL, has worthy the highest now
19:17
I've seen in the mock draft season,
19:19
the morning of the draft, going all
19:21
the way up at pick 17 with
19:23
the Jacksonville Jaguars and the fourth wide
19:25
receiver off the board. I've been hinting
19:27
at this and I've been telling people,
19:29
look, dude ran four to one, he's
19:31
gonna go higher. He's not going to
19:33
go at pick 55 or whatever we're
19:35
seeing in these mock drafts. No, 17.
19:37
Can we see him
19:40
jump in and leapfrog the
19:42
Don I Mitchell's his teammate
19:44
and I
19:48
which Texas receiver you think goes first? I'm
19:50
leaning towards worthy. Oh, it's worthy 100%. Because
19:53
on the other side of things, it's the Don I
19:55
Mitchell and I haven't seen someone plugged in putting him
19:57
higher than 3132 in any mock. Now
20:00
recently and many times he's falling out of
20:02
the first round. I think there's character stuff
20:04
There's the medical medical is a
20:06
big part of this Matt if you're trying to
20:09
like what's the so what's the?
20:12
What's the resume of someone who's gonna go
20:14
higher than expected in the NFL draft? Well,
20:16
you were awesome in interviews. You were awesome
20:18
in workouts testing numbers. You're checking a lot
20:20
of boxes Yeah, what's the recipe for someone
20:22
to fall in the NFL draft bad interviews?
20:25
Bad reports from school about your character and
20:28
medical stuff And so I don't know medical
20:30
medical happening in opposite directions for the two
20:32
Texas wide receivers Hit
20:35
the the workout stuff Over
20:37
the fence the home run there, but everything else might
20:39
be a little bit worrisome for some teams right now
20:42
I've heard small little things too. You know,
20:44
Brian Thomas might have a shoulder Jackson
20:47
Powers Johnson might have concussion concerns And I
20:49
don't know if those things are true And
20:52
I always hesitate to even bring them up
20:54
because I don't think what you and I
20:56
say are gonna change their status I don't
20:58
want to hurt any young men's chances obviously,
21:00
but we know this long enough that when
21:03
Somebody falls to 50 that's been mocked at
21:05
25 ish. It's almost always medical
21:08
I mean it used to be like maybe he
21:10
failed the marijuana test at the combine now nobody
21:12
cared You know, I mean like we don't hear the thing That
21:15
used to be the big one right right? Well, he got caught
21:17
with the sack of weeds for the sack of weed two years
21:20
ago and nobody knew about it But all the teams did right,
21:22
you know that guy in our team. Yeah You
21:25
hit two of the names I wanted to mention let's get into those
21:28
next some of the In some of
21:30
the medical whispers we're hearing which is really the
21:32
the biggest thing that can drop prospects down You
21:34
know a guy's got bone on bone in his
21:36
knee that you don't know about or a new
21:38
condition Did you be generative condition that we don't
21:40
know about the team's medical found and medical rechecks
21:43
are are big part of this Real
21:45
quick on that and sometimes they didn't even
21:47
miss time, you know, like they played great
21:49
They never missed a game everyone thinks they're
21:51
durable But then they're like he's been playing
21:53
with very little cartilages knee. You're never gonna
21:55
get a second contract out, right? Okay, you
21:58
know, okay more on those potential followers some
22:00
surprises that could happen in the first round of the NFL Draft.
22:02

22:57
you hit on two of the names
22:59
that are commonly, commonly sliding now on
23:01
the insider mock drafts and it's Jackson
23:03
powers Johnson, which after the senior bowl,
23:06
I thought lock him in first period
23:08
offensive lineman first center off the
23:11
board, lock him into the first round. He's going to have
23:13
a first round grade on every team's draft boards. Trust
23:15
me sealers at 20 sealers, the twenties JP J's.
23:18
That's all I've heard. And you
23:20
know, he did have, I think it was just a hamstring or something.
23:22
And he still played through it, you know, which I thought was
23:24
even actually even more
23:27
beneficial to his
23:29
stock because yeah, he had a hamstring, but most guys that
23:31
have anything, a fingernail issue, they're not
23:33
showing up in the senior bowl. He came to
23:35
the senior bowl, dominated for a couple of days
23:37
before he left and said, okay, I'm out, got
23:39
the hamstring, but I showed you what I can
23:41
do. And I competed through an injury. Scouts love
23:43
that teams love that. I was like, this is
23:45
the dude he's big, but still athletic. He's
23:49
not some undersized guy who's forced into center. He's a
23:51
big, powerful guy who could play guard, but could be
23:53
an awesome center. You know, and now there's like some
23:55
cuts so can continue. I've
24:00
seen some interviews with him. guy.
24:07
Barton who's projected to be a center in the NFL. How
24:09
many centers are going to go in the NFL? I mean, I don't know. are
24:14
hearing. Yeah. over
24:17
20 years. than we thought.
24:20
And he has definitely been a little
24:22
too for
25:11
a while. It was a big one for me. I
25:13
was like, these guys are awesome. How can they be
25:15
falling in the draft? I
25:17
was like, well, they're bone on bone. They are not going
25:19
to have a long NFL career, so we're going to bypass
25:22
them. And a lot of things did. And guess what? Both
25:24
guys had shorter NFL careers, even if they were
25:26
really good at some point when they were on
25:29
the field early in their career. Those are great
25:31
ones. And miles Jack was just here with the
25:33
Steelers to never practiced on Wednesdays, you know, he
25:35
was like those whole career. You know, I mean,
25:37
manage them. Yeah, and you watch them on
25:39
tape when they're young and they're 21 years old and they're flying
25:42
around, you're like, how did this guy have a
25:44
medical issue? But you know, those internal
25:46
pictures and the bones aren't going to lie to you.
25:48
It's like, well, he's got a condition. So that's
25:52
going to happen for some prospects. And a lot of times we
25:54
don't hear about it until after the draft. And
25:57
you mentioned Brian Thomas. There's a labrum. The
26:00
injury potentially with an airplane
26:02
he's consistently now not. In.
26:05
The Top: Fifteen or twenty of these late
26:07
breaking mock drafts from Insiders. So and and
26:09
worthies go and hire. So that brings you
26:11
back to Worthy of Fit and Mitchell has
26:14
an issue. Thomas as a metro an issue
26:16
Who's most likely this fill that gap is
26:18
probably Worthy or the guys it ran for
26:20
to run. And. We may also
26:23
see like everyone loves the top three wide
26:25
receivers. it might be elite run on wide
26:27
receivers and everyone waits after those top three
26:29
guys are deposition. That's when all the dolphins
26:32
Wyman runs are gonna happen right? and
26:34
died as a player sort of writing. Forget
26:36
exactly another pieces of risers. Byron Murphy. He's.
26:39
Getting a lot burst at nine.
26:42
To the Chicago Bears I know Aber who's
26:44
loves to have him a a a mean
26:46
deep it's a tackle on that and like
26:48
that's huge for his defense. Just a couple
26:50
guys already last year that probably should shock
26:52
people that when also feels a little smokescreen
26:54
issue when they're like I we we want
26:56
no Dunes A to faultless the let's put
26:58
something out there with another player that's right.
27:00
like that I do feel like there's some
27:02
of that happening as well. I.
27:04
Could see Murphy at eight to Atlanta or
27:07
Nine to the Bears near me. As a
27:09
true three technique type, I don't think your
27:11
last a lot longer than that, but there's
27:13
also. Not. Many good landing spots for
27:15
him if he doesn't go to those. Do you
27:17
know unless there is moving around or whatever or
27:19
Minnesota can trade out the I got to get
27:21
there may be ends up with the bikes. they
27:23
don't get their quarterback one guy want to throw
27:25
offer though. Where's our by receivers. Is. Remained
27:28
burnt from Alabama I know he zoc going
27:30
in first round. he's been at like four
27:32
schools and six years go back debating the
27:34
see them like six and six years are
27:36
nearly of I think what I heard was
27:38
like six schools and eight years to have
27:41
our that know well my uncles and right
27:43
Aaron, Paul and Li will be before college
27:45
and so is like a wise you'd be
27:47
hard top. One. Hundred Top
27:49
Fifty Guy made universe. Wrong guy. Who knows
27:51
the idols? That though he may go undrafted
27:54
completely. I've no idea where he's a Leo.
27:56
I'm. a he he struck a
27:58
tennessee woman On the
28:01
field Tennessee woman fan like you can find it
28:03
on YouTube like that's fat so
28:05
but he'd more I watch him He
28:08
might be better than worthy I think he's right there with
28:10
Mitchell in these guys like I think he's one of the
28:12
top six or seven receivers in His class and
28:15
hey Chiefs fans Burton
28:17
ends up in Kansas City He's gonna be on my fantasy team
28:19
and they'll get him in like the fourth or fifth round as
28:21
opposed to the first Because they kind of look the
28:23
other way on some of the stuff and you read will look the other
28:25
way he will yeah Yeah, I just wanted
28:27
to throw him out there. He's a really good player My I
28:29
would bet he goes on drafted to be honest with you Just
28:33
you know There's some things that can't happen teams
28:35
don't even want our head is not even worth
28:37
it And that's kind of one of
28:39
those things when you're you're striking a woman. It's
28:41
on video, you know Yeah, you know other players
28:43
have come back from pretty nasty things. So no,
28:45
we'll see and you know in the end teams
28:47
are Competitive and trying to win. So so we'll
28:49
see what what happens with those kind of things
28:53
What's your prediction on nicks and panics? Yeah,
28:55
I want to go to the chat here real cool Because
28:58
Jason has a question on that he says my Raiders Need
29:00
to get a tackle at 13 so they can get
29:03
panics in the second round or how high would they need
29:05
to trade up? In the first to get panics. I'm seeing
29:07
panics and bow nicks a lot in these first round mock
29:09
drafts I don't know if I buy it but Going
29:12
back to Shraders mock. He has nicks at 12 and
29:14
panics 13. I Don't
29:17
think that's crazy Maybe
29:20
one of the two happens. But again The
29:23
Sean Payton care, you know, I mean I know
29:25
we're talk Raiders here But the Sean Payton care
29:27
what the cost is he's going to get a
29:29
quarterback. I mean, I think that's almost
29:31
set in stone I don't know if the Raiders are
29:33
going to get a quarterback but I think that the
29:35
buzz with them and panics is very very real and
29:38
Jason's right. They desperately need a right
29:40
tackle amongst some other things on defense
29:42
But if you take panics at 13 You'll
29:46
find somebody suitable at right tackle in the second
29:48
round Denver doesn't have a second round pick And
29:52
I don't know who the Raiders need leapfrog at
29:54
that point Like
29:57
I 13 I don't think they do or even in
29:59
the second round Like there's nobody who ahead of them
30:01
is going to have to quarterback because all the teams drafting
30:03
quarterbacks are going to happen already in round one. Is there
30:05
anybody at the top of the second round that even need
30:07
to come up giants? Maybe
30:10
they don't need to go up all the way to the first round
30:12
probably. So this might be more of a, uh,
30:14
and if I had to guess it probably more
30:16
of a, a, a levis situation where you wait
30:18
and you reshuffle the board overnight and you get
30:20
up into, you know, the second round, a few
30:23
pigs, you know, I don't think you need to
30:25
go all the way up into round one again
30:27
to get Penn X or Nick's. I don't think
30:29
so. And to be honest with you,
30:31
these teams are like, they
30:33
value their picks. They're not just throwing around
30:35
picks willy nilly. And, uh, I
30:38
like Penn X. I wouldn't
30:40
do it at 13 and I definitely wouldn't do Bo Nix
30:42
it at 12 either. Maybe
30:44
go down would be the move. All right.
30:47
Someone comes up or back or Bowers or
30:49
somebody like that. Maybe, I don't
30:51
know. I don't have a
30:53
great feel for this because this time last year,
30:55
I thought levis was going to go around 12 or
30:58
13 or 10 or whatever to, you know, another one
31:00
speaking of going down. I've seen a couple of other
31:02
of these, uh, a couple of
31:04
other, these, uh, mock drafts that
31:06
have the Eagles going up
31:08
with Denver Broncos and then Bo Nix
31:10
goes at pick 22 and
31:13
the Eagles get whatever their cornerback or,
31:15
you know, um, an offensive tackle or
31:17
whatever. Yeah. Denver's so crazy.
31:19
I keep bringing them up because Sean Payton's totally
31:21
in charge and they don't have
31:24
a second round pick. Like to me, that's a
31:26
great move for Denver. If you're going to do
31:28
it, go to 22, whatever, make a huge deal
31:30
with the bills, if a receiver falls, whatever. Get
31:32
second round picks, get future picks. You're not
31:34
winning anything this year, no matter who your
31:37
quarterback is that are possible. So get a
31:39
lot of stuff, but I've also heard some
31:41
people say Sean Payton might just adore JJ
31:44
McCarthy and he's going to trade certain
31:47
and 12 and go get him, you
31:49
know. And that's the other
31:51
thing. So if, if the Vikings aren't able to
31:53
go up into the top three, I
31:56
think things get really interesting because you know,
31:58
the, once you start talking. talking about pick
32:00
five and six and seven and eight. And if
32:02
those are the spots that teams are trading up
32:05
for, for a quarterback, that opens it wide up
32:07
for the Raiders or the Denver Broncos to get
32:09
in there too. Without
32:11
question. They can give you other stuff,
32:13
future picks, you know, a
32:16
couple of more notes of just
32:18
some, some trends I'm seeing. Uh,
32:21
one is Tyler Guyton might go higher for
32:23
sure than I have. Yeah.
32:25
He's going top 25 and almost every mock
32:27
draft from the insiders I'm seeing this morning,
32:30
so that's one to look out for. Um,
32:32
I think that's a cause of just all the tackles are going to
32:34
go high. And he's kind of the
32:36
next one up. So yeah, him and Mims are
32:38
right outside the next five. I'm like, there's six
32:40
and seven, I think. So everyone they're all getting
32:42
pushed up. Yeah. Lyle too, Lottie speaking of neck
32:44
injuries, you know, I don't know what the imaging
32:46
showed with him and that's going to be huge.
32:48
He could be the first defensive player off the
32:50
board. He could fall out of the first round
32:52
if his neck is not checking out for teams.
32:55
And who knows maybe different teams view him differently
32:57
with that, but that's, uh, that's one that's just
32:59
an X factor. And we don't know what those
33:01
medical reports look like on, uh, Lyle too. Lot
33:03
too, who had to quit football for awhile, but
33:05
it's come back from it. And apparently other players
33:07
have come back from the same, you know, neck surgery
33:09
that he's had. So I don't know
33:11
much on that, but I don't know if you noticed in the
33:13
McGinn thing about that, there was a couple of quotes about him
33:16
that law two has changed how he plays.
33:18
He keeps his head out of
33:20
the action a lot more since the next
33:22
surgeries, I guess. And as a
33:25
result, he hip drop tackles a lot
33:27
because he doesn't like drive through his opponent and
33:29
like, I mean, that's minor
33:31
things, but I found it
33:33
interesting that that was in there. You know, Ted,
33:37
by the way, hates the guy into the Steelers idea
33:39
might have to start getting used to it
33:41
if we're believing the insiders, I've seen him,
33:44
him and Barton of the two of 20,
33:46
I seen over and over lately, you know,
33:48
uh, one more potential slider and apparently there's
33:50
a medical recheck going on with Troy Foutano
33:52
out of Washington, which could be something that
33:54
makes him slide. And I'm seeing him more
33:56
in the twenties than in the teens than
33:58
I did a few. days ago.
34:00
So another one for potential slider, which
34:03
is interesting. And he's kind of
34:05
a guy that could fit for every team. But
34:07
he's also got a body type that maybe doesn't
34:09
fit for every team. So he's like, he's versatile,
34:11
but might only fit for a few teams. Because
34:14
some, like, for example, a team might say,
34:16
well, I want to six, seven tackle, not a six, three
34:19
and a half tackle, right? So maybe that's
34:21
why Guyton would potentially go over someone like
34:23
Foutano. And I think everyone thinks Foutano is
34:25
a better football player. But how do
34:28
you put him is the question. His tape might be
34:30
better than all. So I mean, I think it's as good as
34:32
any offense. I mean, this class. There
34:36
we go. That's what we're hearing. Yeah.
34:38
Thanks, everybody. For much different show tomorrow to
34:40
talk about. Oh, yeah, much different. Everything that
34:42
happens in the first round will be very
34:44
difficult to cover in one podcast, but we
34:47
will attempt to do so on
34:50
Friday's edition of
34:52
peacock and Williamson. Thanks everybody for being subscribed
34:54
up on YouTube and everywhere you get your
34:56
podcast, Matt and I back tomorrow. Be kind
34:58
to Williamson.
