Welcome in! What's Right With Nick

0:14

Wright, Episode 232 on honestly

0:18

one of the biggest sports days of

0:20

the year. You have

0:22

three NBA playoff games. Well two and

0:24

a half because magic caps. But

0:27

Lakers Nuggets season on the brink,

0:30

Sixers Knicks season on the brink.

0:33

This is that pivotal game three where

0:37

home team one, games one

0:39

and two, if the

0:41

team down O2 who's now at home

0:43

wins game three, we have a series

0:46

and game four becomes

0:48

massive or if the team

0:51

down O2 loses at home

0:53

series over. So we either

0:55

get great series or walkovers.

0:57

That is all happening under the

1:00

backdrop really of the NFL Draft. So

1:02

we will do all of that also.

1:04

We stated a goal on this show.

1:07

We had a goal, we have a goal to get to

1:10

150,000 subscribers to the YouTube channel before the

1:17

end of the NFL Draft. We

1:19

are 900 shy. So

1:22

if we could pick up a thousand

1:24

subscribers between now and our next show,

1:26

I'll say we met that goal. So

1:29

if you're watching, if you're listening to the

1:31

podcast, subscribe to the What's Right Show on

1:34

YouTube. If you're already listening or watching on

1:36

YouTube, I appreciate you being a viewer. If

1:38

you're not a subscriber yet, subscribe and

1:41

hit the bell so you get notified when

1:43

we go live. Speaking of getting notified and

1:45

we go live, I was

1:47

so busy talking to DeMonday about Clippers

1:50

Mavs that I forgot to retweet the link

1:52

to the show. I just did that. Let's

1:55

get right into what missed the cut for

1:57

today's show. Detroit gives a monorail Saint

1:59

Brad's. and Penais Sewell, massive

2:01

amounts of money, good for both

2:03

of them. Caitlin Clark signs with

2:06

Nike and Damaze, classic

2:09

category one take, instantly

2:11

right about the big

2:13

three thing. Yeah, it

2:15

was like a month later. It

2:18

was almost exactly what you saw

2:21

though. Exactly what I said, which

2:23

is yes, it's millions of

2:26

dollars in stuff

2:29

and not necessarily millions of

2:31

dollars in cash in hand. And Reggie

2:33

Bush has his Heisman returned, which is

2:36

one of the most bizarre stories I

2:38

can remember from 18 years

2:41

ago, which was when they said, no, no

2:43

bro, we're taking your Heisman back. It's

2:46

the Heisman trust, not the

2:48

feds. Why did he give it back?

2:51

Why didn't he just say, no, you

2:54

can take my name off the record books,

2:56

but you can't come in my house and

2:58

take the trophy. I'm not giving you the

3:00

trophy. He

3:03

gave it back to him. He

3:05

gave it to him. That's my point. If

3:08

you say no, I don't have a coming

3:10

to my house. What are you going to

3:12

do? You're going to send

3:14

Barry Sanders over there to take it from

3:16

him? No, you're not. And

3:19

I never understood at the time because

3:21

Reggie to his credit had a long

3:23

NFL career and has a very successful

3:25

broadcasting career, but you never know where

3:27

your career money's going to go.

3:30

What's Reggie Bush's Heisman at auction worth?

3:33

Couple hundred grand. So you

3:35

want me to give this thing back to you

3:37

when it's kind of like a really good store

3:39

of value, break glass in case of emergency. If

3:41

everything goes wrong for me, at least I have

3:44

this thing to sell. Like I thought

3:46

I had in my Kobe

3:49

Bryant rookie card that I

3:51

kept under my bed in college for because I

3:53

knew I would one day go broke gambling and

3:55

I had like five super valuable basketball cards in

3:57

a case under my bed. And

4:00

then one day I did go broke gambling and I was

4:02

like, oh, this is so sad I have to go sell

4:04

these cards because I owed a guy a thousand bucks and

4:06

I went to the place sell the cards and They were

4:08

all together worth like a hundred and forty dollars and I

4:10

was just crushed Okay. Well,

4:12

it's a little different from the Reggie Bush situation

4:14

But well, but I'm yeah, it is a little

4:16

different But my point is you try to hold

4:19

you hold on to something thinking I don't want

4:21

to ever have to sell this But I might

4:23

one day and then for

4:25

me that's a story for another

4:27

day that 40

4:30

bucks for five cards Five. Yeah,

4:32

buddy that led to That

4:36

was that led to a sequence

4:38

of just awful decisions

4:40

because again, I'm not going to get into

4:42

it We have too busy of a show

4:45

but if you always scary person a thousand dollars and

4:47

you have no money and Then you

4:49

think you're gonna be able to pay them off with this and

4:52

then you end up being only having less You

4:55

know about a hundred and fifty dollars in percent

4:58

Yeah, well again 21

5:02

year old me Owing

5:04

someone a lot of money Having

5:07

four days to turn a hundred and forty dollars

5:09

into a thousand So not a lot of ways

5:12

to do that. There's a couple tried and true

5:14

ways to do that One

5:17

of which I'm not built for

5:19

and I found that out in very

5:21

quick order That's a story for another

5:24

day now DeMonte before we get

5:26

to the draft. Let's get to the game last

5:28

night. Go ahead Yes,

5:30

so my Celtics lost last night

5:32

at home to the Jimmy Butlerless

5:35

Heat the Lakers and the 76ers

5:37

are back at home trying to drop to 0 3 But

5:40

it's draft day. So we're gonna run through some NBA

5:43

stuff really quickly. We could talk more about the Nuggets

5:45

sweep on Tuesday Okay, the

5:47

Nuggets aren't alright. So let's start. Let's start with

5:49

your Celtics little denial

5:52

from Joe Missoula and the

5:55

Celtics players after the game saying Basically,

5:58

we defended the three well they

6:00

just hit shots 23 wide open threes 23

6:02

well I understand that Miami was crazy

6:07

hot from three I get that they hit the

6:09

most threes they've ever hit in a playoff game

6:11

but when half of the shots

6:14

are classified as wide open no defender

6:16

within five feet that's that's

6:19

a problem they're gonna read

6:22

you a Vincent or no Martin

6:24

they're Darrin Martin you

6:26

know and that's what they did in

6:28

the Eastern Conference Finals last year and

6:30

Caleb Martin had the series of his

6:32

life then he went back to being

6:34

Caleb Martin and now he's playing

6:37

the Celtics and he's good again I'm gonna

6:39

read you a tweet from Kevin O'Connor who

6:41

writes and pods for the ringer he's

6:43

great and is the

6:45

opposite of a flamethrower when it

6:47

comes to takes he is measured

6:49

he is you know

6:52

he is not out here trying to

6:54

like get reaction from people Kevin

6:56

O'Connor last night at 949

6:59

p.m. the Celtics

7:01

would get swept by Denver

7:04

maybe take one game due to a

7:06

hot shooting night but they have no

7:09

chance if it's the Nuggets in the

7:11

NBA Finals zero oh

7:14

boy this is where to monsieur

7:16

Celtics are in a weird spot you

7:19

win the conference by a dozen games you

7:22

get a round one matchup that would

7:24

get your attention because of the heat

7:27

success against you but Jimmy Butler's out

7:29

so it's easy to kind of sleepwalk

7:31

through it next round you're

7:33

gonna get Cleveland who is

7:35

not going to be able to score with you and

7:38

then all of a sudden like

7:41

you're it's a six-month season

7:43

that's going to start in

7:46

the beginning of month five or

7:49

beginning of month six I should say actually

7:51

in the conference finals and so

7:53

do I think the Celtics are gonna lose

7:56

to the heat obviously not but that's

7:58

a terrible loss That

8:00

is by a point spread

8:02

standpoint the

8:05

biggest upset in

8:07

the playoffs since the

8:12

Clippers Patrick Beverly

8:14

Lou Williams young SGA

8:16

Clippers beat the 2019

8:19

Warriors in Katie

8:22

was healthy at the time. They were

8:24

the back-to-back defending champs that led to

8:26

the Kevin Durant doing the I'm Kevin

8:28

Durant press conference That's

8:31

a brutal loss just a

8:33

brutal brutal loss and I'm curious your

8:36

confidence level right now in your Celtics

8:38

to mazay To

8:42

win the finals or together

8:45

the series series

8:47

make the finals win the

8:50

championship I Don't

8:53

I have got I'm not so I've got

8:55

no fears of them losing this series Agreed

8:58

I think that a lot I think a lot

9:00

of things went in the heats favor like I

9:03

don't think that that will be repeated Bam

9:05

out of bio was just hitting shots that

9:08

Martin was hitting shots. It's all out of ball

9:10

watching I think I need to see Jason Tatum

9:12

be a little bit more aggressive, but

9:15

uh, but no so I But

9:17

they get to the finals and they see the

9:19

Nuggets and I don't think that well my confidence

9:22

for us having an answer For Nicole Yokij if

9:24

we end up seeing him in the finals not

9:26

great But if any other team ends up getting

9:29

there, but I feel like we can make

9:31

work of that. That's you know, that's fair and Your

9:35

guys you guys are built very

9:37

similarly to Denver in this regard

9:40

extraordinary starting five Like

9:42

one guy off the bench you trust

9:45

But that's actually good for the postseason in

9:47

theory because your starters are gonna play more

9:49

minutes It's just a bad

9:51

loss and here's the thing It

9:55

hasn't happened yet, I guess

9:57

you could argue who is it who

9:59

wasn't it night before last. Oh,

10:02

Grayson Allen hurt his ankle. But

10:04

we were yet to have the Oh,

10:06

man, key player from championship

10:09

contender, not not best player on the

10:11

team, but you know, your third or

10:13

fourth best guy goes down for a

10:15

couple weeks with a playoff injury. That

10:18

inevitably is going to happen to one or

10:20

two teams, right? It just does. It's just

10:22

sports. That's

10:25

why now

10:28

having this series go a minimum

10:30

of five, and honestly, it

10:32

could go six because Miami could get one

10:34

at home. You just

10:37

you just extend the amount of

10:39

time that something funky could happen.

10:41

You know what I mean? There's

10:43

more games now that you got

10:46

to play more and

10:48

more instances of guys crashing and falling

10:50

around. And it's one thing if it's

10:52

like, Oh, we're in a brutal first

10:55

round series, you know, it's gonna go

10:57

long also getting a little he's getting

10:59

real chirpy. I'm noticing like

11:01

it there started. I think there's like a little bit of beef

11:04

brewing, but in the series. Well,

11:07

I mean, it's it's gonna be each other. Yeah,

11:10

so like, I mean, you got to keep

11:13

in mind, here's Jason Tatum's Jason

11:15

Davis been in the league since 2018.

11:17

Right? So his

11:20

first as a

11:22

rookie, they play LeBron fine. You know,

11:25

they're up three to LeBron has two

11:28

brilliant games, and they win. But

11:30

they're even though they were the favorites. Nobody's given

11:32

Tatum a hard time about that. At

11:35

2019, they lose to

11:37

Giannis, whatever. But once

11:39

Tatum's been a star, they

11:42

play in 2020 Eastern Armaments Finals

11:45

in the bubble. They

11:47

lose to Miami. 2020. 2022.

11:49

They play in the Eastern Armaments

11:51

Finals. Seven

11:56

game series goes down to the

11:58

final shot. lose to Miami

12:00

or they beat Miami 2023 seven game series

12:03

they're up 3-0 it goes to

12:07

seven games they lose to Miami

12:09

Miami's been you know

12:11

what I mean a massive part of Jason

12:13

Tatum's NBA postseason career playing

12:15

them in the conference finals as often

12:18

as they have now to the two

12:20

games tonight I don't want to spend

12:22

on draft night a ton of time previewing series

12:25

I listen this is a little

12:27

heart a lot of head I I think

12:29

both home teams win I think

12:31

the Lakers get it to 2-1 I

12:33

think the Sixers get it to 2-1 and

12:36

then we'll see what game 4 looks

12:38

like in both those series I also really

12:40

hope the Sixers win because I'm going to

12:42

game 4 in Philly and game

12:44

4 with it 2-1 and this

12:47

you know what I mean could be a

12:49

great game but game 4 at 3-0 is

12:51

gonna feel like yeah you know what

12:53

I mean like what are we kind of what

12:55

are we doing here okay now

12:57

to the NFL

13:00

draft DeMonte go ahead yeah

13:02

so before we get into a couple draft

13:05

games let's get the audience up to speed

13:07

on your mock draft 4.0 aka the

13:09

culmination of mock drafts 1 through 4,000 my

13:13

question is has Brett Veach blocked

13:15

your number yet so

13:17

I actually have left Brett Veach

13:19

alone throughout this

13:21

process and I

13:23

I also have been focusing not just on the

13:26

Chiefs like it was last year but on the

13:28

whole league I did mock

13:30

draft 4.0 Monday on television

13:33

there is one major change

13:36

to it that I have made so this kind of mock draft version

13:38

4.1 and I am going

13:41

to try as quickly

13:43

and as efficiently as possible go

13:45

through all 32 teams

13:48

here and talk about why I have

13:50

them drafting who I have them drafting

13:53

and the analysis behind

13:55

it so the

13:58

first overall pick we all know Everyone

14:00

knows is going to be Caleb

14:02

Williams. That is not a question

14:04

That is not a debate that

14:07

that has been locked in stone

14:09

for quite some time Well,

14:11

listen, you guys know how high I

14:13

am on Caleb Here

14:15

is where my change comes from Monday

14:18

to now. I Did

14:21

have the

14:23

new the Washington commanders taking

14:26

Drake, May I Now

14:28

have seen the Vegas odds drop enough

14:31

have heard enough people I trust and I'm

14:36

not gonna reveal any Sources

14:39

publicly I'm gonna text

14:42

Damanze right now so he

14:45

can react but don't say who it is

14:47

to monte. I Just

14:49

want to see your live reaction of the

14:52

person someone a high

14:55

level NFL

14:57

figure who

14:59

might have some level of insight on The

15:04

commanders or their coaching staff or

15:07

their front office or someone Text

15:10

me after mock draft 4.0 and said

15:13

no chance. They're taking

15:15

Drake over Jayden No

15:17

chance and then we had a

15:19

whole little draft conversation back and forth. It was quite nice

15:22

Okay, but I nice that is that was enough

15:28

For me to go back and say, you know what?

15:31

The commanders did hire Cliff Kingsbury

15:34

Kingsbury's College

15:36

quarterbacks were Patrick Mahomes and

15:38

Caleb Williams Want a

15:40

more of a dual threat option? Jayden

15:44

I think is probably the pick Here

15:46

is my concern on Jayden Daniels

15:50

He is old and he is skinny Okay,

15:53

and I and we'll go through this

15:55

full top ten But you can see it on your screen for

15:57

watching on YouTube right now But I want to stay on Jayden

15:59

Daniels for a moment old

16:01

and skinny is not

16:03

a good recipe. Damanzi, how much do you

16:05

weigh? Do you know? Do you mind saying?

16:07

About 190. About

16:11

190. And you are a shade

16:14

under 6'3", right at 6'3",

16:16

a shade over 6'3"? Whoa,

16:19

I think I'm about 6'4", that's what the doctors tell

16:21

me, but probably 6'3". Okay,

16:23

so my bad, a shade over 6'3". Okay,

16:28

so you're 6'3", 190. Do

16:32

you think you

16:34

have the body to

16:37

be an NFL quarterback? Because

16:40

I do not. I think you would get

16:42

hurt a lot. It

16:44

sounds awesome. Jamie Daniels

16:46

is 6'4", a

16:49

true 6'4", weighed

16:51

in at 210 when he was trying

16:53

to weigh as much as possible, which

16:55

means he really weighs 198. He's

16:59

too skinny, man. He's just

17:01

too skinny. And

17:04

so you add that to the fact

17:07

that he is the

17:10

same high school class as Sam Howell.

17:12

6'4", that intent isn't that bad, is

17:14

it? I feel like that's... It's... body,

17:17

it is too... I'm gonna... so I'll send

17:19

and maybe we can get it. This

17:22

is probably impossible to get on this show.

17:26

So Caleb is... but Caleb is 6'1",

17:28

he's 1.5", and he weighs more than 210. That's kind of my

17:31

point. So

17:36

there... like, I'm gonna send a picture. I used it

17:38

on TV. I'll send it as a group chat. I

17:40

don't know if we can get it on the show

17:42

or not. But I

17:44

want you to see it, DeMonday, and

17:47

we can show it whenever. Caleb...

17:49

er, I'm sorry, Jayden yesterday talking. Look

17:51

at your phone. Look at this guy.

17:55

He's gonna get annihilated, man. I mean,

17:57

he's just... He's

18:01

just too skinny and

18:03

everyone's like, oh he's gonna put on weight

18:06

if he could he would If

18:08

he could put on weight, he would put on

18:10

weight and then there's the age factor Well, I

18:12

want to be that he ever had to put

18:14

like it was Absolutely mandatory that he

18:16

put on weight. I think now he's going to the

18:18

NFL is what they're saying. Okay I

18:21

mean I get that but you got a weight

18:23

room I mean, I

18:25

mean when we show that picture

18:27

like he has he just has

18:29

a slight frame And then

18:32

there's the age factor and people misconstrue

18:34

when I'm talking about age It's

18:37

not that oh because he's

18:39

two years older than Drake May His

18:43

career is gonna be shorter that has nothing

18:45

to do with what I'm talking about. It's

18:47

gotta hit his pride Correct

18:51

It's yes. So like I don't

18:53

think Sam Howells very good, right?

18:56

But Sam Howell is the same draft

18:59

or high school classes Jayden Daniels

19:01

How would Sam Howell have looked if

19:04

the last two years he was playing college

19:06

football? probably freaking

19:09

awesome and these and so

19:11

I That's Jayden

19:13

Daniels and so we can show you

19:15

the picture so you guys know what

19:17

I'm talking about people and say there's

19:19

a bad angle I don't know man

19:21

that guy looks like a snapped collarbone

19:23

waiting to happen And so it just

19:25

concerns me and so is that the

19:27

and the age part of it concerns

19:30

me just does and

19:32

so But I think he's gonna

19:34

go number two in that circumstance.

19:37

I Believe the

19:39

Patriots are pretty clearly drafting

19:41

a quarterback. I think that

19:43

they are going to end up Taking

19:46

Drake May number three and then

19:48

the draft gets really interesting Are

19:53

the Cardinals going

19:55

to trade out or are they going to

19:58

stay right? Where they are

20:00

they are. The Cardinals need

20:02

great players. They have

20:04

an expensive quarterback. Marvin Harrison

20:06

is sitting right there. I think

20:09

they will take him. There

20:11

was a ton of smoke right

20:13

when the Vikings traded for their

20:16

additional first-round pick that they are

20:18

doing this to move up for

20:20

JJ McCarthy. Since then

20:23

that seems to have cooled off.

20:26

I actually think that's going to happen. I see a

20:29

ton of mock drafts this morning that have the Chargers

20:31

staying there and drafting JC

20:33

Latham. I don't think that's going

20:36

to happen. I think that

20:38

the Vikings are going to move up

20:40

package their two firsts this year and

20:42

their first next year to get JJ

20:45

McCarthy. Then the Giants

20:50

probably have to run it under this

20:52

scenario, run it back one more year

20:54

with Daniel Jones. They haven't had a

20:56

great receiver since the beginning of Odell.

20:59

Some people have Malik neighbors number one

21:01

as their receivers. I think they take

21:03

neighbors. Joe Alt to

21:05

the Titans is the most obvious

21:08

pick in this draft. Every

21:10

single mock I have done and every single

21:12

mock I have seen has that happening. Probably

21:15

means it won't but I believe it will.

21:17

The top offensive lineman off the board goes

21:19

to the Titans. The

21:22

Falcons are in a unique spot because

21:25

they have to draft defense. They have

21:27

a decent offensive line. They have spent

21:29

top 10 picks on a tight end

21:31

wide receiver and running back the last

21:33

three years and they just signed Kirk

21:35

Cousins. They could sit at

21:38

pick eight and take the

21:40

number one defensive player on their board

21:42

because the first seven picks of this

21:44

draft are going to be offense. Now

21:46

maybe they trade down but I think

21:49

they're going to take Dallas Turner the

21:51

edge out of Alabama and

21:53

that then puts the Bears in a unique spot.

21:56

Do they want to go left tackle to

21:59

protect Caleb? Do they want to

22:01

go interior defensive line and go Byron

22:03

Murphy or do they want to get a?

22:06

stud receiver I

22:08

think they go stud receiver take Roma

22:11

doomsday and Caleb as DJ more on

22:13

the big contract Keen Allen is the

22:15

aging vet and Roma doomsday is the

22:18

stud on a rookie contract And

22:20

then I just think the Jets aren't gonna be able

22:22

to help themselves. They should go

22:24

left tackle here They should buttress the

22:26

offensive line instead. They're gonna hope and

22:29

pray that the old offensive

22:31

lineman that they acquired this offseason stay

22:33

healthy and the one Major hole from

22:35

a skill position perspective on their offense

22:38

is tight end They go Brock Bowers

22:40

to make Aaron Rodgers help happy now

22:42

we can show the next 10 picks

22:44

I think we have them if not

22:47

I can yeah, we do have them all right So

22:52

this is where my mock is gonna be

22:54

different than most There is

22:56

a ton like I said of JC

22:59

Latham to the Chargers at

23:01

five smoke Under

23:03

this scenario JC Latham the left

23:05

tackler the tackle from Alabama is

23:08

available at 11 I

23:10

still think to least FUAGA the

23:13

right tackle out of Oregon State is better

23:15

I think it's more

23:17

likely that Jim John Hart Jim Harbaugh

23:19

drafts him they have their left tackle

23:21

They have the right tackle and

23:24

then the Broncos reach massively

23:26

on Bo Nicks Because

23:29

Sean Payton's got to have a quarterback.

23:31

He is not going into the season

23:33

with Jared Stidham and with

23:36

The guy Zach Wilson. It's just not

23:38

happening So now could the Broncos

23:40

be a trade back and then

23:43

draft Bo Nicks candidate sure but

23:45

if they think he's worth a first round pick then

23:47

just secure him at 12 a Lot

23:50

of people think the Raiders will take panics at 13

23:54

I don't think panics given his age and

23:56

his injury history is a first round pick

23:59

so Raiders Antonio Pierce

24:01

has come out and said the

24:04

Mahomes rules and all this stuff

24:07

get another edge along opposite Max

24:09

Crosby Latu from UCLA makes the

24:11

most sense. The

24:14

Saints have to go

24:17

offensive line here. This is

24:19

a spot where maybe I'll get the player wrong

24:22

but I am certain they're going offensive

24:24

line. Trevor Penning who

24:26

they traded up for in the first round a

24:28

couple years ago has not worked out Ryan Ramchek

24:31

might have to retire due to injury so I

24:33

think they're going for

24:36

Foshanu to give him

24:38

a plug and play tackle on the offensive

24:40

line to tackle out of Penn State, also

24:42

one of the younger players in the draft.

24:46

I think the Colts would

24:48

love if the draft fell

24:51

this way. If they're sitting

24:53

at 15 and

24:56

only two defensive players have gone

24:58

off the board and

25:00

they're both edge rushers and they have

25:02

their pick of any corner in the

25:04

draft they will go corner. I am

25:07

confident in that. I think they go

25:09

Quinion Mitchell out of Toledo. Now

25:11

to the second half or I guess the end

25:14

of the first half of the first round. Troy

25:17

Fotnoe, he's listed as tackle. He

25:19

probably plays interior on the NFL.

25:21

He's down the street from the

25:23

Seahawks playing at the University of

25:25

Washington. That to me is an

25:27

obvious pick. Now to

25:30

the second half of the draft. The Jags

25:32

got to take a receiver because

25:34

they thought they were going to have Ridley and they don't.

25:38

I do not like Adni

25:40

Mitchell as the

25:42

fourth receiver taken in this draft. But

25:45

the Jags front office led by

25:48

Trent Balke loves going

25:50

galaxy brain on the draft and

25:52

going the position everyone thinks they're

25:54

going to do but a different

25:57

player see Trayvon Walker Over

25:59

a. Who. The Edge

26:01

that went to Michigan. That place for the

26:03

lines now ain't Hodgkinson. So.

26:05

I think they could take add Nine Mitchell, their.

26:08

The. Bangles Eat. A replacement for

26:10

Dj Murphy are Dj Murphy, Dj

26:12

Reader. So. Their ability to

26:14

get Byron Murphy the first deed

26:16

tackle off a on everyone's were

26:18

bored Him and Johnny Newton I

26:20

think that makes a lot of sense.

26:23

The Rams Some people of the

26:25

Rams taking a quarterback here. To.

26:27

Back up, Sapper, The.

26:29

Rams haven't had a first round pick in

26:32

eight years. I don't think

26:34

they're gonna spend one on a guy they

26:36

don't expect to play. They. Still need

26:38

help in the secondary. Terry an Arnold

26:40

is a lot of people's cornerback one

26:42

in this draft. I think that makes

26:45

sense and the Steelers are going off

26:47

and of line now. Maybe if he's

26:49

there they go jc late them but

26:51

the reports out of Pittsburgh from our

26:53

for an Andrew Bill a bony connected

26:55

them do a Marius Memes sizing A

26:57

Marius Memes makes a lot of sense

26:59

for them. Now. We'll get to the

27:02

final twelve pics of the draft quickly here. Johnny

27:04

Newton the deed tackle from the

27:07

dolphins are from Illinois. The Dolphins

27:09

last Christian Wilkins that makes a

27:11

lot of since they're this Eagles.

27:14

Need. Secondary help Cooper seen

27:16

can play safety can play corner

27:18

template nickel corner and is gonna

27:21

be our first wife corner in

27:23

the Nfl and twenty some years

27:26

the Eagles take him at twenty

27:28

two. The. Chargers. This.

27:30

Is a tough one. Because. You

27:33

feel like. Harbaugh.

27:35

Is gonna want to build up the often

27:37

have a deep sense of lines First and

27:39

foremost. However, You.

27:42

Lost: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

27:45

If Bryan Thomas' their you feel

27:47

like they have to take him.

27:50

Off. The. cowboys would be thrilled

27:52

of gray embark new played tackle at duke would

27:54

come play all five spots on the orphans of

27:56

line as they are given the guys they lost

27:58

when we often sublime Then I

28:00

have Latham falling further than just about anyone

28:03

the Packers would sprint this pick in taking

28:05

JC Latham They have a seventh-round pick right

28:07

now slated to play left tackle That doesn't

28:10

make sense even though Latham is probably gonna

28:12

play on the right side The

28:15

the box needs secondary help all over

28:17

the place aside from one great safety

28:20

Nate Wiggins out of Clemson makes a lot

28:22

of sense for them there Jared verse the

28:25

Cardinals need Impact guys some people have

28:27

Jared verse going in the top 15

28:29

I think he's available there and then we get to

28:31

some really fun final five six picks of the first

28:34

round The Bills

28:37

have to draft a wide receiver Now

28:41

there is some smoke they could move

28:43

way up in the draft to get

28:46

a receiver I Would

28:50

love if the Bills mortgage more

28:52

future capital to move up if

28:55

they don't Troy Franklin

28:58

the 6-3 receiver out of Oregon makes

29:00

a lot of sense Some

29:03

people have speculated they would take Xavier

29:05

worthy the guy who set the record

29:07

at the combine I think

29:09

worthy is going either 28 or

29:11

29 if he's there. I

29:13

don't think worthy is getting to 30 Now

29:16

worthy I have concerns with as well.

29:18

You know why it's 155 pounds and Every

29:22

people's I understand the bond day Smith

29:24

was super slight But the month the

29:26

bond day Smith at a 1800 yard

29:28

season in college We saw him deal

29:30

with it people when I talked about

29:32

Xavier worthy people were like oh That's

29:35

what they said about tank Dell. Did

29:37

you see his rookie season? Yeah? I

29:39

saw tank Dell have an amazing rookie

29:41

season until he got his legs snapped

29:43

in half on a regular block because

29:46

he's tiny like this is I

29:48

I Don't

29:51

I feel badly about this sometimes, but

29:54

I don't think I'm wrong in my

29:56

belief footballs

29:58

for big people And

30:00

if you're not a big person, I have

30:02

concerns. And so Xavier

30:05

Worthy would scare me, but

30:07

the Lions have been looking for a speedster

30:09

since they traded up for Jamo Williams, and

30:11

that hasn't quite worked out, so I like

30:13

that pick there. The Ravens getting

30:15

Chop Robinson feels like a Ravens pick, I've

30:18

mocked this in the last couple drafts. The

30:20

Niners getting the best true center in the

30:22

draft, Jackson Powers shots it out of Oregon,

30:24

when they had troubles on the inside of

30:27

their offensive line make a lot of sense,

30:29

and I think the Chiefs are going tackle,

30:32

and Jordan Morgan's the best tackle left. Now could

30:34

the Chiefs trade up again? Not

30:38

a wide receiver, here's why. I

30:42

don't think Rishi Rice is going to be suspended

30:44

for more than four games max. I

30:47

think it's probably one or two games, but

30:49

you also don't make your draft picks based

30:51

on length of oaths. If they

30:53

were like, oh he might be banned from the league,

30:55

but there's that. They

30:58

signed Hollywood, they

31:00

have Rishi, they don't

31:02

yet have a left tackle, and

31:05

so I think they're going tackle. Now

31:07

Jordan Morgan, you're gonna laugh at

31:09

me on this DeManse, the concern with

31:11

Jordan Morgan is he does have short

31:13

arms, and I know

31:16

that sounds ridiculous, but for left tackle you want

31:18

really long arms, because you want to be able

31:20

to keep guys off you. But

31:24

there are going to be, under

31:27

this scenario, let me just explain another

31:29

reason why I don't think the Chiefs

31:31

have to go wide receivers. He

31:34

encourages body dysmorphia by the way. Well,

31:38

yeah, it just is what it is.

31:41

Now I'd love

31:44

Lad McConkie there, the

31:46

slot receiver from Georgia,

31:49

I think he would be great with Mahomes.

31:52

But the reason I think that the Chiefs have

31:54

to go tackle is under

31:56

this version of the muck, the

31:58

following receivers are... are not first round

32:01

picks. Lad McConkie, Keon

32:03

Coleman, Roman Wilson, Ricky Persol,

32:05

Xavier Laguette, Jalen Polk, that

32:12

is six wide

32:14

receivers that are

32:16

potentially second round talents, or

32:19

late first or not can be first

32:22

round picks, but six wide receivers that

32:24

could be any of those six theoretically

32:27

could be available when the Chiefs are drafting at

32:29

64. And

32:32

what you can do if you're the Chiefs is,

32:34

if you take a tackle at 32 and then you see a

32:38

run on wide receivers happening in the second round,

32:40

you can do what they did last year to

32:42

get Rashee Rice, move up a few spots in

32:44

the second round to secure your receiver. So

32:47

that's what I think they're doing. Under

32:50

this version of the draft, the

32:52

best players who end up not

32:54

being first round picks to

32:57

name them so people have them in their

33:00

head. Kool-Aid, the corner

33:02

from Alabama, who I

33:04

could theoretically see the Patriots drafting.

33:07

I'm sorry, the Patriots, certainly the

33:09

Patriots are their first second round

33:11

pick, but the Chiefs drafting. Tyler

33:14

Neuban, the safety from Minnesota, Peyton

33:16

Wilson, the linebacker. Where

33:19

did he go? Did he go to NC State?

33:21

Yeah, the linebacker from NC State. And

33:23

then Zach Frazier, the center

33:26

from West Virginia, along with

33:28

a few corners like Mike

33:30

Sanderstil and

33:32

who's the other corner? I don't even remember. Those

33:34

are the guys who would be kind of at the top

33:36

of the second round. So that's how I see the draft

33:38

going. I am

33:41

doing a Ravens, Lamar Jackson

33:43

trade up for Michael Pinnix with the

33:45

Chiefs. Yes.

33:49

So that's the other thing that the

33:51

Chiefs have going

33:53

for him, so to speak. If

33:56

there is a quarterback available, if Pinnix

33:58

is still there at third. There

34:02

is a real chance a team pays

34:04

a super

34:06

high premium to

34:09

move up to get him because teams

34:12

love that fifth year option for

34:14

quarterbacks So once you

34:17

become that's only available for first-round

34:19

picks so the difference between drafting guy 32 and

34:21

33 is contract structure and So

34:25

yeah, but I could

34:27

see the Chiefs trading back I think the

34:29

Chiefs are more likely to trade back then

34:31

trade up and

34:33

so the

34:36

that's where that's where I fall on this

34:39

and I got one

34:41

more question history. You had yeah, go ahead in

34:43

this walkthrough after you've got five quarterbacks going in

34:45

the first round How many of them do you

34:47

think will be hits in the NFL? history

34:51

tells us it'll go like this one

34:54

star One

34:58

good player One

35:02

below average starter and two

35:05

busts That's what history

35:07

tells us History tells us

35:09

there'll be one great player one fine

35:12

player one

35:14

guy Then and

35:16

then two guys that are backups or you know

35:18

what I mean don't have long careers at all

35:21

That's that's what is so this

35:23

idea that you're going to get

35:27

Three or four franchise quarterbacks. It's not

35:29

that it's never happened Eli

35:31

Rivers Big Ben were one draft

35:35

Obviously, I think it was Elway Kelly

35:38

Marino were one draft it has happened.

38:09

let's do it Who's first? Oh

38:16

All your umbrella checks draft room, okay good.

38:18

Go ahead. Hey Nick Yeah, it's me Elliott

38:20

wolf the kind of GM of the Patriots.

38:23

Yes. This is your draft line Our

38:26

favorite quarterback Drake may is still on the board

38:28

and a lot of teams want him We

38:30

can kickstart our rebuild with a trade, but

38:32

who knows when we'll draft this high again Do

38:35

we stay at three or trade back from multiple

38:37

first rounders? 60-second starts

38:39

now Okay,

38:41

so this is what you do Elliott. I Understand

38:44

that you're getting calls from the Vikings you're

38:46

getting calls from a bunch of teams You

38:48

call up Joe Shane in the New York

38:51

Giants right now And

38:53

you tell Joe Shane in the New York Giants that

38:56

they can go from six to three There

38:58

is precedent for this right? Once

39:00

upon a time the Colts moved up or

39:03

the Jets moved up from six to

39:05

three They gave up the six pick

39:07

and three second rounders you call Joe

39:09

Shane You want to go

39:11

wild? But you want

39:14

the six pick you want

39:16

his third rounder this year and

39:18

next year's number one Okay,

39:20

you call him. He's gonna say yes

39:22

today. So he does that

39:24

now You Time

39:27

you have the six pick. Well, no,

39:29

I get another 60 seconds now. Now.

39:31

I have the six pick So now

39:33

that we can now I'm still I'm

39:35

still talking to you. Elliott I'm

39:38

gonna keep going So

39:41

here's the deal Elliott it's gone perfectly

39:44

they have moved the Giants have moved up they've

39:46

taken Drake may the

39:48

Cardinals have drafted Marvin

39:50

Harrison jr. And The

39:53

Chargers as many people have

39:55

suspected they might have taken an offensive

39:58

line now You

40:00

are sitting there at number six

40:04

You have the choice you can take

40:06

JJ McCarthy. It's or

40:09

You call up Minnesota

40:12

and you tell Minnesota. Hey

40:15

your guy is here I

40:17

will give him to you for the 11th

40:20

pick the 23rd pick and next

40:24

year's number two Minnesota's

40:27

gonna say yes So

40:30

now what you have ended up with you have

40:32

turned the third pick into the 11th My

40:34

lights just went out. I think because I'm short on

40:36

time you have turned You

40:40

have turned the the sixth the third

40:42

pick into the 11th The

40:44

23rd a third rounder and the Giants

40:46

number one pick next year All

40:48

of that is very important looks like the mother's

40:51

lights went out to where's having a whole lighting

40:53

there you go. Demons expect Okay,

40:55

so that's what we've done By

40:58

the way, I'm gonna holler at Jake to

41:00

see if he can fix these lights But you demand that

41:02

you we can go on to the next thing we

41:05

forfeited our pick It's

41:12

the Giants all around the phone no, I like

41:14

it. I do not know my own name So

41:16

don't ask I've got her on the

41:18

line and they're interested in moving down to number

41:21

six So we can move up for

41:23

JJ McCarthy or we can stay at

41:25

number six and be guaranteed one of the top three

41:27

receivers Do I trade up for JJ or

41:29

do I stay in and pick a wide

41:31

receiver? 60-second starts now

41:35

Okay, if you're the Giants that

41:38

the smart move Would

41:40

be stay at six and

41:43

then hold a little mini auction

41:46

For the six pick but if

41:48

nobody is willing to make the trade that I

41:50

just laid out if the Vikings don't want to

41:52

move up Now ideally

41:54

what you do is you call

41:56

Denver and you say we'll move

41:59

from six This is a big fan

42:01

of Francisco Giants though. Okay,

42:03

stop it. If you move from 6 to 12,

42:06

you will then, if Denver

42:09

wants to include next year's number one, you'll

42:11

do that because Denver's gonna be terrible. That's

42:13

a move you make. If

42:15

not, you stamp at your draft

42:18

Malik neighbors and you just say,

42:20

we finally have a stud receiver.

42:23

If you can't get Denver to pay through

42:25

the nose, or Minnesota to pay

42:27

through the nose, send in Malik neighbors. Go

42:29

ahead. Alright, that

42:32

works out. Thank you, sir. Yeah.

42:37

One more poem, move to the next one. Good job. Oh,

42:40

I appreciate it. Oh, this

42:42

is really worthwhile watching on YouTube.

42:45

This is great. We're now in the Bears draft room. GM

42:48

Ryan Pols from Chicago here. We have

42:50

a conundrum. Caleb Williams is

42:52

already making demands. He said today he

42:55

wants us to draft tackle Olu Vashanu,

42:57

his high school teammate. Peroma Dunesay is

42:59

still sitting here. Should

43:01

we drive Caleb's buddy or the best far receiver?

43:05

Here's the thing. Caleb is going to be

43:07

happy with either of these picks. What you

43:09

don't want to do is

43:11

take defense. You

43:13

want to support the offense. Now,

43:16

I understand the want to draft Olu and

43:18

I get it and it makes sense. But

43:21

Caleb also has spent a lot of time

43:23

with the Dunesay. He will not be unhappy

43:25

with the Dunesay and

43:27

with the explosion in

43:30

wide receiver salaries, getting

43:33

Roma Dunesay for five years on a

43:35

discount deal. You drafted a tackle in

43:38

the top 10 last year, so you don't

43:40

need to do it again. So I like

43:43

Roma Dunesay at nine. Hold on.

43:46

I've got a call coming in from the

43:48

49ers. They're calling about Brandon Ayuk.

43:52

For the ninth pick, hang up on him. Hang

43:55

up on him. Tell him to go to hell. He

43:58

stopped the John Lynch ninth pick. with

44:00

the extended the roma doomsday pic seven

44:03

seven the roma doomsday pic cala will

44:05

be happy at the meeting go

44:07

ahead that

44:11

was the the great game i love

44:13

you go ahead hope

44:17

you they really brought a bunch of bones

44:19

out my goodness all

44:22

different types of all that's an old-school

44:24

play it showed us with

44:26

the jets calling for war room it's

44:29

a dark history somewhere in south america

44:32

i'm trying to get in touch with my boss erin

44:34

rogers but i can't see him currently he

44:36

wants brought powers but here's the thing jay

44:39

45:14

45:16

twelve-year-old is getting spotted with our

45:18

history no no no this is

45:20

important broccos draft capitol only only

45:23

good i was already for this

45:25

broccos traffic they've got all

45:27

my goodness gracious i'm running out

45:29

of time broncos twenty twenty four

45:31

draft you want the

45:34

twelve pick from denver and

45:36

the seventy six pick and

45:38

a fifth you want those three

45:41

picks so they can move up from twelve

45:43

to ten you move back the vikings at

45:45

eleven won't draft the tight end because they

45:47

have hockinson you get powers in twelve anyway

45:51

pick up two free picks trade

45:54

with denver end

45:56

up with your guy anyway oh man that

45:58

was close i need to have the bright because i knew that All right, we

46:00

got one more go ahead It's

46:07

your buddy Brett Beach with Kansas City. I'm

46:10

in our row. I'm in our war room

46:12

located in Andy Reed's closet I'm

46:14

gonna pickle. Thank God you texted me all those mock

46:16

traps. So I knew exactly what it call Chicago

46:19

is offering Caleb Williams and their first round

46:21

pick in perpetuity from a Holmes. We

46:24

have 60 seconds to decide What should

46:26

we do? Hang up on them? Hang up

46:28

on them. Hey, it's the dumbest idea ever

46:30

Hang up on them until Ryan Paul's you'll

46:32

never deal with him again for insulting you

46:34

like that now that first round pick in

46:37

Perpetuity thing is an idea I

46:39

had years ago It turns out it's against the

46:41

NFL rules But I said

46:43

when I was on the radio in Kansas City

46:45

a decade ago, or I guess longer

46:48

than that 12 years ago I said

46:50

that the Chiefs when they had the number one

46:52

pick of the draft that they should offer this

46:54

for Aaron Rodgers They should say here's the trade

46:57

We will trade you the number one pick

46:59

and the first round pick our first round

47:02

pick every year Rodgers is on our roster

47:05

For Aaron turns out that's not allowed But

47:08

so but they're not trading Patrick Mahomes. What's up?

47:11

Demons? You have two phone calls going on now?

47:14

Yeah, does some other guys

47:16

calling about some other trades?

47:18

Sorry. Okay. No, you're fine So

47:25

Veatch I

47:27

think is because they signed Hollywood

47:29

Brown The Chiefs

47:31

are in a really good position to truly

47:34

be able to take best player That

47:38

they might take a corner. They absolutely

47:40

could take Kool-Aid They could take

47:42

a wide receiver and they could take a tackle Also,

47:45

whatever the producers are trying to get you to do to

47:47

them on they don't let them peer pressure I

47:49

can tell that you don't want to do it. Don't worry

47:51

about it. Uh People

47:54

are asking should you watch the draft of

47:56

the NBA? Listen tonight's one of those nights

47:59

that you need to be able to

48:01

have a multi-tv setup. If you don't have

48:03

a multi-tv setup, here's what I would

48:05

tell you. Go

48:08

TV for basketball, computer

48:10

screen, or phone screen

48:12

for draft. Because draft is

48:14

an informational thing, not

48:17

necessarily you need to see every nuance

48:19

of it. So you can only have

48:21

one big screen, obviously put the big

48:23

screen on the NBA, but the

48:25

draft is honestly what I'm most excited

48:27

for tonight. Even though the way this

48:30

times out, the Chiefs are going to

48:32

be drafting like mid fourth quarter of

48:34

the Lakers game, which is potentially which

48:37

is going to really put me in

48:39

a blender. Alright, let's do listener questions

48:41

next. What's right? Alright

48:49

welcome back in. What's right with Nick Wright episode

48:51

232. What's up, DeMonte?

48:53

Sorry. Oh no, no, no, no, I was

48:55

just going to take, I was going to give you a

48:57

second. You seem to be doing

49:00

some. No, I'm good. I'm just looking.

49:02

I'm trying. Here's a weird thing. I

49:05

think in New York, for

49:07

some reason you can't bet on

49:10

certain types of things. So

49:12

like in FanDuel

49:15

in New York or

49:17

DraftKings, I can't see any

49:19

of the draft odds because

49:22

you're not allowed to bet those types of bets

49:24

in New York. It's weird. I don't totally get

49:26

it. And so I can't

49:30

follow some of these draft odds. But let's get

49:32

to the listener questions. So

49:34

you're trying to bet on the draft right now? No,

49:37

I read the first question

49:40

and you'll understand it. Oh, Neil,

49:42

Gary, Pinnix and Nick's go around going

49:45

round one, two, you get quarterbacks and

49:47

round one plus five and a half

49:49

wagers in. Yeah. So

49:51

I was trying to see what the odds were that at

49:54

least six quarterbacks were going round one, but I can't see

49:56

the odds. I

49:58

don't think we're going to have six quarterbacks in round

50:00

one. I hope we do. What's

50:03

best for the Chiefs

50:05

is as many quarterbacks

50:10

and D linemen

50:14

go in round one

50:16

as possible. Like

50:18

what the Chiefs want is for

50:20

them to have their pick of

50:22

wide receiver tackle corner. And

50:25

so that's what you want positions

50:27

you're not going to draft to

50:29

be the highly drafted positions. All

50:31

right next. Kai

50:34

Jaru asks a question Nick during the

50:36

offseason when sports news have slowed down

50:38

would you have considered doing poker maybe

50:41

twice a month doing a poker show.

50:43

Sorry I'm learning how to play and I think

50:45

it will be cool. I

50:48

don't think a poker show would actually

50:50

be interesting is the problem. Like there

50:52

are you know there's a lot of

50:54

poker like learning tools and there's classes

50:56

and stuff like that. Now

51:00

I have there is

51:02

a poker based actual

51:05

show that I've thought about trying

51:07

to create for a long time where

51:11

it is basically the

51:13

model of the shop where

51:16

it's you know famous people

51:18

sitting around talking but instead of

51:20

it being premised around a barber

51:22

shop it's around a poker table

51:24

with whole card cams so it's kind of both

51:27

but that's a heavy lift to get that

51:29

off the ground but maybe one day. They're

51:33

saying six six quarterbacks in round one

51:35

is going at plus 180 by the

51:37

way six plus corner makes.

51:41

That's wild. All right next. Eric

51:44

Allen asks what do you think the biggest mistake

51:46

of the draft tonight will be? Sounds

51:48

like you trade enough to get JJ McCarthy. I think

51:52

trading up to get JJ McCarthy. So it'll be by

51:54

the Patriots? Well

51:56

they wouldn't have to trade up they could sit there

51:58

but I just think I. I just don't think JJ

52:00

McCarthy is a great player. Next.

52:04

Knack real. If the Lakers win the next two

52:06

games, what percentage do you give them to win

52:08

the series? They're

52:13

gonna, I haven't changed my pick, guys. I

52:15

had Lakers in six, I'm halfway there. They've lost

52:17

two, they always had to lose two to lose

52:19

in six, give me a break. All

52:22

right, next. All right,

52:24

Matt asks, how was the surface on

52:26

the banana phone? Wasn't

52:28

great. That's what

52:30

I imagined. Keep going,

52:32

let's run through these. LG

52:34

said, can't believe we'll never see DeMonte back

52:36

in the shades. I, I. You

52:39

will at some point. I need to send him through. A little

52:41

bit, yeah. A little different flow of the show, so

52:43

I didn't wanna throw in the shades. I've been thinking

52:45

about it as well, but I'll have them all next

52:47

time. All right, that's

52:49

fair. But I. Go ahead. Gun

52:52

to MJC, my guy Nick Wright dressed

52:54

like an Albanian drug dealer. That's

52:57

what I'm going for. That's the aesthetic I'm going for,

52:59

and I appreciate that. All

53:03

right, go to Austin Tapp's question. Austin

53:06

Tapp asks, why do you use passer

53:08

rating to evaluate quarterbacks instead of quarterback

53:10

rating? Does the passer rating provide

53:12

a more accurate? No, no, hold on. He

53:15

said, why do I use passer rating

53:17

instead of QBR? So QBR is ESPN's

53:19

proprietary stat, go ahead. Does

53:22

the passer rating provide a more accurate depiction

53:24

of their performance, or is the quarterback, or

53:26

is the QBR skewed by stats that aren't

53:29

relevant? Neither

53:31

is a perfect stat. Passer

53:33

rating is just very straightforward, even though the

53:36

maximum score is 158.3, which is weird. It's

53:40

not normalized to a 100 scale, but

53:42

it's 25% yards per attempt, 25% touchdowns, 25%

53:46

interceptions, 25% completion percentage. That

53:50

gets you passer rating. QBR is

53:53

supposed to incorporate situation,

53:56

rushing, a lot of other

53:58

things. It theoretically, is

54:01

a better stat but

54:03

it also to me has

54:05

a lot of

54:07

noise in it and the numbers

54:10

are so close together

54:13

that it's there

54:16

is I just don't like it

54:18

as much so I don't think there is a

54:20

perfect catch I don't think EPA I

54:23

don't think CPOE I don't think

54:26

there is a perfect singular catch-all

54:28

passer evaluation stat

54:32

maybe I should give QBR a

54:34

little more love it's just it's

54:36

ESPN's proprietary

54:41

thing so we don't use it on TV that

54:44

often and so I just I've always done passer

54:46

rating all right I'm gonna go

54:48

this was a great show Damanze you
