Okay AJ Brown has continued to show why he is still 18 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,340 One of the best receivers not only in just the NFC, but in the league as a whole 19 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,360 he is one of those receivers where if you don't have a 20 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:52,080 A physical corner that can really you know go strive for stride with him and contest those 50-50 balls 21 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,840 He's gonna get it.

Okay? I remember 36 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,080 Leading up to the draft in his draft class specifically 37 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,740 Christian Barmore was considered a first-round pick 38 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,360 But the only reason why he fell out of the first round was allegedly he had attitude problems 39 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,780 And he couldn't take corrective criticism correctly some something crazy, you know 40 00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:38,780 But um, you know congrats to him and now for the third that's right third bag alert right third bag alert 41 00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:46,400 All-pro future Hall of Fame one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history Travis Kelsey 42 00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:53,660 Yes, Travis Kelsey ain't a two-year 34 point 25 million dollar deal to stay with the Chiefs 43 00:03:54,740 --> 00:03:59,220 17 of that is guaranteed at signing which averages around 44 00:03:59,220 --> 00:04:01,460 17.12 million dollars 45 00:04:02,140 --> 00:04:05,060 Let's just be real here folks Travis Kelsey 46 00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:10,700 Continues to be one of the most dominant and one of the most consistent tight ends 47 00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:13,220 in the NFL right now 48 00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:20,480 They game in and game out he continues to show up when the receivers are getting locked up left and right 49 00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:28,620 Well, Holmes can always trust Travis Kelsey.

All right 51 00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:43,040 Now that we've gotten over all of the bag alerts and congratulations to those three players for their bag alerts 52 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,520 Let's talk about this Brandon I you and Deebo Samuel Trey talk. Yes. Yes 53 00:04:48,980 --> 00:04:50,500 those two players 54 00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:57,260 Now during the draft there were reports starting to circulate that the 49ers were also receiving calls 55 00:04:57,260 --> 00:05:03,540 For both Brandon I you it and Deebo Samuel originally it was just calls for Brandon I you it 56 00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:06,020 But I guess they wanted to see 57 00:05:06,780 --> 00:05:11,240 What would be the market like if they were to include Deebo Samuel as well? 58 00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:14,500 Also, we knew the one of them got traded. However 59 00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:22,660 At this point, I would not be surprised if one of the other does get traded. Let's be real here folks 60 00:05:22,660 --> 00:05:28,560 The 49ers are in a position where one or two things can happen 61 00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:36,660 Either they can trade away Deebo Samuel and then you know be able to pay Brandon I you it or vice versa one of those two 62 00:05:37,180 --> 00:05:44,960 But we cannot say right now that both of those players are going to be are still going to be on the 49ers 63 00:05:45,460 --> 00:05:46,780 especially 64 00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:51,940 With with what the 49ers drafted in the first round. They drafted Ricky pierce all so 65 00:05:51,940 --> 00:05:59,060 You you now have Ricky pierce all you have Brandon I you it Deebo Samuel and Juan Jennings 66 00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:07,060 That's a lot. That's a lot of receivers and it's only one ball. So someone is going to have to get the axe and 67 00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:11,900 I wouldn't be surprised if it's Deebo Samuel only because 68 00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:20,800 Now that the reports have come out that you know the 49ers were receiving, you know calls for Deebo Samuel that moneys things up 69 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,360 They just paid him and now essentially, you know, they're just going to move off of him 70 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:32,120 So he's in his mind. He's probably like, you know what forget about it. I just want out at this point 71 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:41,120 Not to mention. I think teams will be more open to trading for him simply because his contract is a little bit more 72 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,400 It's more easy to digest compared to 73 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,120 You know giving up high draft draft picks 74 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,880 For Brandon are you and then paying him top dollar? 75 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,320 Especially with how the receiver market has basically blossomed 76 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,480 Within the last few days with both AJ Brown getting his deal and a mom Ross ain't brown getting his deal 77 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,000 And as well as Rashad beaming getting his deal as well 78 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,160 So that the the number is going to continue to rise 79 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:20,040 So at some point they're they're gonna have to make a decision on if they're on on if they're gonna have to pay him now or 80 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,520 Just get rid of him altogether 81 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600 When you take a look at Deebo Samuel's contract 82 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200 He signed a three-year 83 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,320 71.5 million dollar deal with a 24 million dollar signing bonus 84 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,520 41 million of that was guaranteed at signing 85 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,680 58.1 of that money was is in total guarantees now 86 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:48,080 Here is the part where teams might be a little bit more interested if he was traded before 87 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,960 May 1st, which I think is tomorrow 88 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,420 The new team would carry on two years thirty nine point four million 89 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,440 21.9 million of that will be guaranteed in 2024 and 90 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,120 17 and a half million 91 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,560 guaranteed for his average salary for 2025 and the 49ers will only take a 92 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,920 21.7 million dollar dead cap hit but would save 93 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:20,840 $6.8 million so honestly speaking here if a team gave up enough draft compensation 94 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,020 I think the 49ers would be more willing to 95 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,880 Absorb some of that money while the you know the team that does get Deebo Samuel 96 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:36,440 They would just have to tag you know take the rest which is a little bit more easier compared to you know 97 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,400 creating a whole new contract for a player like Brandon I you would because 98 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,960 According to spot-rec this and this was before a Marase Brown got his deal and AJ Brown got his deal 99 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,200 Brandon I you its market at that time was on was a four-year 100 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,280 99.8 million dollar deal which would 101 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:03,720 Average around twenty four point nine million dollars a year that was before 102 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:11,360 Marase Brown got his deal and AJ Brown getting his deal that number has changed dramatically now 103 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,680 And so you know some teams might not be willing to to sell out a whole lot of money to Brandon 104 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:25,320 I you would because whether we want to admit it or not before that tree is official officially processed 105 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,560 Brandon I you was is gonna want to talk about money 106 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,640 There is going to have to be a deal in place 107 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,880 That both Brandon I you it and the team can agree upon before that trade is official 108 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,360 Otherwise there will not be 109 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,440 any movement at all now 110 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,720 Is it is it wise for 49ers to probably move one of these players? 111 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,560 Yes 112 00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:57,520 And no at the same time and the only reason why I say that is because 113 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:04,480 Yes, at the same time, you know, it's it's good to to move off of you know disgruntled players 114 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,960 But at the same time 115 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,120 Who is to say that you would get the draft compensation that you want right because 116 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,840 At this point the trade market is it's it's crazy. It's a little bit crooked at this point 117 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:28,680 You're seeing, you know all pro pro bowl players who are getting traded for basically pennies on the dollar 118 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,840 Okay, perfect example, right? 119 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,520 when 120 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:39,880 Jaylee Ramsey was traded from the Rams to the Dolphins everyone everyone was thinking oh 121 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,440 The dolphins are gonna have to give up a whole lot just to get Jaylee Ramsey. No, they didn't 122 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,200 when the Texans traded for 123 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,960 Stefan digs they didn't have to give up a whole lot and even then they avoided 124 00:10:53,600 --> 00:11:00,120 The remaining years of Stefan digs his contract and basically pushed the money that he would have made 125 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:06,920 Next year to this year basically making him a free agent once this upcoming season is over with 126 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,200 So when you have those type of things in place 127 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,800 it can mess it can mess up the trade market and 128 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,880 Right now, you know what players that were at one time, you know worth maybe 129 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:29,280 Multiple first-round picks or you know multiple picks are now being you know just shipped around for maybe a third or four for a 130 00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:34,560 Fifth a six maybe a conditional second any of those things at this point 131 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:42,840 So we all have to factor in those type of things before a deal of this magnitude could probably occur now 132 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,000 Now that we're done talk about that. Let's talk about this draft. Yes the draft 133 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,840 The draft the draft the draft. Oh, man. This the draft 134 00:11:53,960 --> 00:12:02,360 Definitely had well, it was like a roller coaster. Okay, it started off really slow really slow really slow up up up up up up up 135 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,680 Up and then once it got to the point it just went down 136 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,280 Okay, as fast as you could possibly think it just went down 137 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,480 Now 138 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:20,240 From the Chargers drafting Joe Alt to the Falcons drafting Michael Pinnick's to the Chiefs being able to get Xavier worthy 139 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:27,320 To the Steelers getting Troy Photonu. It was a good draft for a lot of teams now 140 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:35,800 We have to really analyze certain teams that won a little bit more than what other teams did for instance 141 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,760 Me personally, I feel like the Eagles definitely won 142 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,360 They got two players who 143 00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:48,760 Leading up to the draft were mocked to be you know in the top 10 top 15 range, right? 144 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,560 And they dropped Cooper D'Ajean was drafted in the second round 145 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:58,040 Quinion Mitchell dropped all the way down, but a lot of that was because 146 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,800 There were so many teams that wanted to get all of those quarterbacks, right? 147 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:10,680 Not to mention you had a lot of teams that were also trying to get those offensive linemen specifically the tackles as well 148 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:17,120 So when you have a mixture of those two elements in place a lot of players are going to fall 149 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,720 The first defensive player that was drafted was lot to lot to and he went to the Colts. So 150 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,520 I say all that to say this 151 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,360 Yes, mock drafts are good to look at they are there 152 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,600 They they create a lot of conversation create a lot of debates all that different type of stuff 153 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,960 But just because there is a mock draft and you know 154 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:44,560 There's a specific player that you may like and it keeps on showing that you know your team is probably going to get them 155 00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:46,160 Don't believe it 156 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,400 Don't believe it 157 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,560 If you would have told me that Brock Bowers would have went to the Raiders 158 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,240 Michael Panix going to the Falcons Cooper D'Ajean falling out of the first round 159 00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:02,400 Quinneas mental dropping as lowest he did and Nate Wiggins dropping as lowest he did and Troy Fatah new 160 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,800 I would have called you a liar. I really would have 161 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,220 You are talking about you know those three put those four players alone who? 162 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,920 By all means 163 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,200 We're probably high on a lot of teams boards 164 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:23,320 Okay, but the only the only knock to one of those players Cooper D'Ajean for example was 165 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,040 Cooper 166 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,040 Didn't get cleared 167 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:36,240 For a long time and by the time he was getting cleared a lot of teams and GM's they have already did their rounds and went to you 168 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:44,560 Know pro days and private workouts and did whatever homework that they needed to do on whatever player that they really wanted to draft 169 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:52,320 So when you have that mixed with you know his private workouts being as late as they were in the season in the offseason 170 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,320 It probably made a lot of teams not really interested in him 171 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,360 beforehand, okay 172 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:06,220 But when you have teams like the Eagles who recognize that they do need 173 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:13,320 To get their secondary to be a little bit younger, of course, they're gonna double dip and it worked it worked 174 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,320 They were able to get Quinn y'all Mitchell who is 175 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,360 By all regards probably the most balanced corner out of this cornerback draft class 176 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,960 you're talking about someone that can play both man and 177 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,400 Zone coverage and does it very well not very handsy 178 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,760 His technique is phenomenal great coverage just all around great player 179 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,160 And then you have Cooper D'Ajean who can play both corner and safety 180 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:46,160 But I think the eels will probably use him more in the safety position compared to corner position, right? 181 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,560 and when you look at teams for instance like the Falcons 182 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,920 Because we are gonna talk about it. We are about this for a while. I really did have to sleep on this now to talk to 183 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,520 My friends about this shout out to move shut out to Shane 184 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,180 On one hand, it was a bad move. It really was 185 00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:08,180 simply because 186 00:16:09,020 --> 00:16:12,060 you have all these other pressing needs on the team and 187 00:16:12,940 --> 00:16:16,260 That that could have waited honestly speaking here 188 00:16:16,980 --> 00:16:18,980 Because now what you see is? 189 00:16:19,660 --> 00:16:22,740 Unnecessary drama that is going to linger into the offseason 190 00:16:23,580 --> 00:16:30,020 Into the summer into OTA's into training camp into the preseason and eventually into the regular season. Okay? 191 00:16:30,020 --> 00:16:35,980 Not to mention the Falcons just signed Kirk Cousins to a long-term deal now 192 00:16:35,980 --> 00:16:42,380 I understand there are there are people that are going to say well Kirk Cousins is coming off of a major injury and he's up in age 193 00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:45,340 Yes, that is true. That is very true. However 194 00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:51,160 That doesn't mean that you use your first round pick to address that problem 195 00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:58,780 You could have waited into the second third or fourth round to address that position you could have you still have Michael Pratt 196 00:16:58,780 --> 00:17:01,540 You still had Jordan Travis. You still had 197 00:17:03,020 --> 00:17:09,100 Spencer rattler you had Joe Milton you had a plethora of different quarterbacks that still would have been 198 00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,500 Available in the later parts of the draft 199 00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:19,900 So for you to draft Michael Penix that high was unnecessary not to mention. He is an older prospect 200 00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:25,020 He is a player right now that is ready to start day one 201 00:17:25,020 --> 00:17:31,380 He doesn't have time to be waiting to three four five maybe six years 202 00:17:31,780 --> 00:17:35,820 He doesn't he's already an older player anyway, so 203 00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:43,820 You're already creating drama because now anytime Kirk Cousins doesn't make the right play 204 00:17:44,820 --> 00:17:49,540 Doesn't throw the right pass doesn't execute the right play whatever the case may be 205 00:17:49,540 --> 00:17:55,620 They're all gonna say oh get in Michael Penix kicking get in Michael Penix get a man bring a man bring a man bring a man 206 00:17:55,620 --> 00:17:57,620 They're all gonna do that and so now 207 00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:04,260 Kirk Cousins is basically, you know looking over his shoulder because he realizes at some point 208 00:18:04,260 --> 00:18:10,500 If I go through a stretch where I'm not being you know the Kirk Cousins now that I was with the Vikings 209 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:14,420 Where I'm not being as productive where I'm not putting up, you know 210 00:18:14,940 --> 00:18:18,740 Touchdowns and making big plays and whatnot. Oh, they're gonna bench me 211 00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:21,980 They're gonna bench me not only are they gonna bench me 212 00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:27,180 They're probably gonna find a way to get off of my contract and so 213 00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:34,160 You you just don't make that type of move. You just don't you don't I don't care who you are 214 00:18:34,940 --> 00:18:37,660 As a GM who is not on the team right now 215 00:18:38,420 --> 00:18:40,820 Who has you know gone through this situation? 216 00:18:41,780 --> 00:18:47,700 Himself, you just don't make that type of move. You don't you just do not make that type of move 217 00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:55,980 There were so many other holes on the Falcons roster that needed to be addressed and quarterback wasn't 218 00:18:56,340 --> 00:18:58,340 Okay, you could have instantly 219 00:18:59,660 --> 00:19:06,660 Boosted up that defense by getting one of those corners by getting a terry on Arnold or Kool-Aid McKinstry or Cooper Dijine 220 00:19:06,780 --> 00:19:09,620 Or a Johnny Newton or a Tavondre sweat 221 00:19:10,380 --> 00:19:12,900 Whoever you could have addressed that position 222 00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:17,540 You could have but instead you wanted to say, oh, we're gonna get Michael Pennings 223 00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:22,340 There's nothing that you can say as a GM as an owner 224 00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:30,380 Whoever there's nothing that you can say that can justify that pick nothing and if I'm the GM on the Falcons 225 00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:32,380 I 226 00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:38,660 Have to pray and hope that this goes in my direction because if it doesn't 227 00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:43,340 I'm basically going to get fired my job is on his job is on the line at this point 228 00:19:43,340 --> 00:19:44,940 It is 229 00:19:44,940 --> 00:19:52,540 Because you don't make that type of move when you just signed a veteran quarterback to the type of money that they just signed 230 00:19:52,740 --> 00:19:58,820 Curcussing you only make that type of move when you have already had a veteran quarterback in place 231 00:19:58,820 --> 00:20:05,660 And now they're at the tail end of their career and they're you know, it's just time for a fresh start 232 00:20:05,660 --> 00:20:11,380 Other than that, you don't make that type of move you steadfast you figure out what you need to do 233 00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:14,420 You dress certain holes and just move forward honestly 234 00:20:15,820 --> 00:20:20,340 But enough about the Falcons because just thinking about it just irritates my soul 235 00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:24,620 Let's talk about let's talk about some of the winners and losers 236 00:20:25,220 --> 00:20:32,620 Of the draft honestly speaking here. So for me personally and this is just me. This is just my analysis. I could be wrong 237 00:20:32,620 --> 00:20:38,700 We can talk about you know, we can talk about this for the next two or three four weeks doesn't matter to me 238 00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:42,140 Me personally I feel like the Bears one of course 239 00:20:42,860 --> 00:20:46,740 Simply because they drafted their quarterback because we all knew they were gonna get Caleb Williams and 240 00:20:47,460 --> 00:20:53,300 They added another receiver to that stack offense ladies and gentlemen 241 00:20:53,300 --> 00:21:00,420 I don't think people realize how stacked that offense is they have they now have Kayla Williams 242 00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:06,940 They have Kenan Allen DJ Moore now Roma Dunes a they still have equineerious 243 00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:11,500 St. Brown. I'm excuse me if I am pronouncing your name wrong. I am so sorry 244 00:21:12,460 --> 00:21:16,460 They still have cold commit and they got Deandre Swift 245 00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:25,800 That's a good offense right there. That is an offense that can you know when some games with the Lions with the Packers 246 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:31,120 With the Vikings honestly speaking here. You have the commanders who? 247 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,720 They did get one of the best 248 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:40,120 Quarterbacks and especially within their division now they're in a place where you know 249 00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:46,120 If they if they maybe make a few more trades and whatnot and if they continue to stay on this path 250 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,640 They could definitely be in a place where they could compete 251 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,520 Against the Eagles 252 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,520 they really can't a 253 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,360 Up next is the Steelers. Yes, the Steelers did draft very well, okay? 254 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,080 Their their first two picks definitely address 255 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,960 Pressing needs on the offense and they got the players that they have really been eyeing for 256 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,680 Since you know since the offseason, okay? 257 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,520 If you would have told me that Troy Fatah new would have dropped to 20 258 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,520 I would have called you a liar, but it happened, okay? 259 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:27,520 And you know that was a great pickup. He's probably be moved over to right tackle, which is perfectly fine 260 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:34,760 I'm all here for it and then with them getting exact Frazier as well. That was an amazing pickup 261 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,520 This guy can do it all. Okay? 262 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,960 great player great mindset great leadership 263 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,360 You know basically walked off the field after 264 00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:55,440 Basically breaking his leg just just so the team doesn't avoid getting a penalty. All right 265 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,920 That is a different type of mindset, especially for center and not to mention 266 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:08,720 He has said that he models his game after Creed Humphrey. So let's see what this happens 267 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:16,440 Steelers fans. Let's see what happens now. I see I did it. I did it wasn't bias wasn't bias. Nope 268 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:23,840 I lied. We are going to be amazing this year folks. Okay, we are going listen any 269 00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:32,080 Ravens fan any bangles fan any Browns fan that says all the Steelers aren't gonna do anything. Guess what you're lying 270 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:38,560 You're lying you are lying. Let us not get one of these receivers 271 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,080 Okay, let us 272 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:46,520 Not be the powerhouse that we used to be. Oh my god 273 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,680 We're going to create some noise. You got Broderick Jones at left tackle 274 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,480 You got Isaac see a model at left guard. You got Zach Frazier in the middle 275 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:03,160 You got James Daniels on the right side and then you got Troy for Tom new at right tackle. What are you gonna do with that? 276 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,040 Nothing, there's nothing that you can do about not to mention 277 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:15,920 You got the two headed monster and in Jalen Warren and in Najee Harris and you got move 278 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,640 What are you gonna do? 279 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,120 What are you gonna do now? 280 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,840 moving forward 281 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:33,480 Moving forward. Um now going on to the Saints. The Saints definitely won. They definitely address a very 282 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:41,480 Pressing need that has suddenly emerged with Ryan Ramcheck basically on the verge of medically retired retiring 283 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,080 You know, they drafted Talibis Foucault, which he was regarded as one of the best 284 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,240 Right tackles in this draft class. So I'm all in all a very great pickup 285 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:00,280 Cowboys. Yes, Cowboys fans. I'm talking about you guys in a positive way. You can start clapping now 286 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,320 Um, the Cowboys decided to draft Tyler Guy, which I mean 287 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,920 When you look at the Cowboys history, they have always produced 288 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:16,720 Good great and elite offensive linemen. If you don't believe me look at their history books 289 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:19,120 They have produced 290 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,880 Offensive linemen very very very well within the last 15 or 20 years 291 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:30,800 However, they have not gone to the Super Bowl since 1995 just have to put that in there. Sorry Cowboys fans moving forward 292 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:39,200 When you look at the Eagles as I said before earlier on the Eagles are one of the few teams that definitely 293 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:48,360 Have a plus grade in my book simply because you drafted Cooper D'Ajean and you got Queen Yaw mentioned not to mention 294 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:53,240 They got Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Which is you know great story 295 00:25:54,400 --> 00:26:01,920 That defense right now is looking really scary really really really scary. Okay, you got Darius lay 296 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,520 Quinn Yaw Mitchell James Badbury 297 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,040 CJ Garner Johnson Cooper D'Ajean Jeremiah Trotter Devon white 298 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,880 Nicoby Dean Jalen Carter Jordan Travis Brandon Graham Joss sweat and Bryce Huff 299 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:24,760 Listen, the Eagles are gonna make some noise this year folks. They're gonna make some noise 300 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,280 Noise I tell you noise 301 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,480 Moving on to the Chiefs Chiefs are the Chiefs basically they got Xavier worthy 302 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:38,400 Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to you utilize him 303 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,520 Sort of like an a Tyree kill-esque type of way 304 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,840 Simply because Andy Reed, you know is the mastermind that he is 305 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,280 So, you know only time will tell with that 306 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,040 Jets I 307 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,520 Yeah, I would say so 308 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,940 With them drafting a little a little for Sean you you know, that was definitely a great pickup 309 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,280 It allows him to learn from Tyron Smith as well 310 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,380 It's just a matter of will he 311 00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:13,520 Go and play right tackle or will he sit on the Tyron Smith for one year and learn? 312 00:27:14,340 --> 00:27:19,340 The next team the Ravens. Yes, the Ravens the Ravens 313 00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:26,900 Stood still they stayed patient and in doing so they got Nate Wiggins. Okay, one of the fastest corners 314 00:27:27,260 --> 00:27:30,300 In this draft class. Let's face it here folks 315 00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:33,220 with the 316 00:27:33,220 --> 00:27:38,100 History that the Ravens have shown when it comes to their secondary. This was a good pickup 317 00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,500 This was a really good pickup now 318 00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:47,100 They have a corner who can go strive for strive with the likes of Tyree kill who can go strive for strive with the likes of 319 00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:50,940 Jalen waddle and other faster receivers not to mention 320 00:27:51,180 --> 00:27:58,500 He also has the length to go one-on-one with a lot of these taller receivers as well 321 00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:01,020 So all in all great job for the Ravens 322 00:28:01,020 --> 00:28:06,620 Moving on the Vikings the Vikings definitely won because they were one of the teams that were very aggressive 323 00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:13,020 They wanted JJ McCarthy. They got JJ McCarthy and on top of that they got Dallas turning 324 00:28:13,340 --> 00:28:19,420 Dallas Turner as well. So all in all great job for them. Bucking nears. They got grand Barton 325 00:28:19,940 --> 00:28:25,620 Since Ryan Jensen has retired. They definitely have been trying to find, you know that next 326 00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:29,500 Great center and so now they have grand Barton 327 00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:33,580 You know, I definitely wanted the Steelers to get grand Barton 328 00:28:33,580 --> 00:28:36,300 But I think him going to the bucket nears might be a better 329 00:28:37,100 --> 00:28:45,720 Choice for him now moving on to the Lions. Lions did a really good job as well. They did they definitely did a great job 330 00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:50,140 With them drafting Tarion Arnold 331 00:28:50,660 --> 00:28:55,060 in replacement for camera signing with the whole you know ongoing 332 00:28:55,620 --> 00:28:57,620 investigation with him and his 333 00:28:57,620 --> 00:29:05,300 Allegations Tarion Arnold, you know, definitely will play a very big role in that secondary 334 00:29:05,300 --> 00:29:12,660 You're talking about somebody whose technique is very refined very just all around really good corner 335 00:29:13,020 --> 00:29:20,860 You know can play can play man can play zone, you know, just Alabama corners, you know, just doing their thing all around 336 00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:23,420 this guy is 337 00:29:23,420 --> 00:29:29,420 Someone that's just gonna be all over the field. Okay, he is gonna go mano a mano 338 00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:36,220 With the best receiver on the opposing team and most likely he is going to get the job done 339 00:29:36,220 --> 00:29:41,620 Okay, now the next team is the Jaguars. Yes, they drafted Brian Thomas, Jr. 340 00:29:42,020 --> 00:29:47,220 If you would have told me that Brian Thomas would have fallen the way that he did to the Jaguars 341 00:29:47,220 --> 00:29:49,220 I would have called you a liar 342 00:29:49,220 --> 00:29:56,740 All in all great receiver great physical receiver can definitely go up there and get those 50-50 balls 343 00:29:57,580 --> 00:29:59,580 Just all around 344 00:29:59,820 --> 00:30:03,540 a great weapon to add to the Jaguars offense 345 00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:09,220 Now on to the losers of the draft here we go 346 00:30:09,940 --> 00:30:17,020 Of course, the Falcons have to be first if you want a team to mess up a draft 347 00:30:17,020 --> 00:30:20,620 Here is the team the Falcons, of course 348 00:30:20,980 --> 00:30:26,380 They had one job all you had to do was just draft somebody that was gonna help out with the defense 349 00:30:26,420 --> 00:30:32,700 Since the offense was in a good spot, but no, what did they decide to do? We're gonna draft Michael Pinnick's 350 00:30:33,140 --> 00:30:35,300 Case point not gonna say anything else about it 351 00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:41,380 When you look at the Raiders the Raiders definitely needed a quarterback 352 00:30:41,380 --> 00:30:47,340 Aiden O'Connell is not going to get the job done folks, especially in a division 353 00:30:47,780 --> 00:30:52,860 That has Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. I'm sorry. It's just not going to happen 354 00:30:53,340 --> 00:30:59,660 Them getting Brock Bowers. I mean that is another weapon, but unless they're gonna go after 355 00:31:00,220 --> 00:31:03,580 Another quarterback, you know with a trader anything like that. I 356 00:31:04,420 --> 00:31:09,620 Don't know about this personally. Um the Broncos. Yes the Broncos 357 00:31:09,620 --> 00:31:11,500 Um 358 00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:16,180 Bolniks is sort of in the same situation as Michael Pinnick's I'm an older prospect 359 00:31:16,420 --> 00:31:22,300 Many people did not view him as a first round pick a lot of people viewed him as a second round pick 360 00:31:24,260 --> 00:31:28,900 He is entering into a situation where he's not he doesn't have a whole lot 361 00:31:29,740 --> 00:31:36,100 Around him, especially with the with the trade rumors going around that Cortland Sutton might be getting traded soon 362 00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:38,860 He's in a situation where 363 00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:44,620 His only receiver is gonna be Tim Patrick and Troy Franklin. That's it 364 00:31:46,180 --> 00:31:50,860 But you know only time will tell with that situation of the Panthers 365 00:31:51,460 --> 00:31:55,280 Yes, the Panthers on one hand. I 366 00:31:56,100 --> 00:32:03,900 Understand the move of getting Xavier Leggett. Yes great move. You know, they they definitely have surrounded Bryce young with a lot of weapons 367 00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:05,900 However, I 368 00:32:06,540 --> 00:32:11,180 Do feel like it. I'm not saying this because I'm a big person is for the offensive line 369 00:32:11,340 --> 00:32:16,660 But I do feel like they should have possibly tried to get a offensive lineman 370 00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:20,580 It's it's okay to have all the weapons in the world 371 00:32:20,580 --> 00:32:24,320 But if you don't have any protection, you can't throw it to anybody, right? 372 00:32:24,940 --> 00:32:29,940 Especially with him being a smaller statute quarterback. He needs to be protected 373 00:32:29,940 --> 00:32:33,780 That's the only way he's gonna be able to feed it to Xavier Leggett 374 00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:39,940 Deontay Johnson and company. That's the only way that this experiment works. Okay? 375 00:32:40,460 --> 00:32:48,420 And finally the main loser of the 2024 NFL draft is Malik neighbors. Yes, Malik 376 00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:51,060 neighbors 377 00:32:51,660 --> 00:32:52,900 Oh 378 00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:58,060 Man, if you guys have not seen the video that I'm talking about I'm getting ready to talk about 379 00:32:58,060 --> 00:33:00,820 Going YouTube and you will find it 380 00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:07,460 So when he came to the Giants, you know to visit the facility meet the coaches and whatnot 381 00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:11,980 He gave sort of that face where it's like, okay, you know what? 382 00:33:12,380 --> 00:33:14,820 Why am I here? Why am I? 383 00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:21,940 Why did this team drafted me? I should have dropped down to the other teams. I want to be on a playoff team 384 00:33:21,940 --> 00:33:23,940 I don't want to be on this crappy team 385 00:33:23,940 --> 00:33:28,700 Those were the vibes that Malik neighbors was giving off now 386 00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:37,700 Unfortunately, you are stuck with the Giants for the next, you know five years and unless they go and make a swing on a quarterback 387 00:33:37,820 --> 00:33:42,900 Or whatever the case may be you're stuck with them. My boy. I'm sorry, but you are 388 00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:50,900 But before I end this podcast, I have to give recognition as well as their flowers 389 00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:53,460 former Broncos 390 00:33:53,460 --> 00:33:58,740 Chargers and Saints cornerback Chris Harris has announced his retirement from NFL 391 00:33:59,020 --> 00:34:05,900 If you guys don't know who Chris Harris was Chris Harris played a very pivotal role in the no fly zone defense for the Broncos 392 00:34:06,140 --> 00:34:10,540 That ultimately won a Super Bowl with paint Manning and Super Bowl 50 393 00:34:10,860 --> 00:34:15,900 He has decided to walk away from the NFL altogether.
