WEBVTT 00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:05.519 Triple bag alert, triple bag alert, triple bag 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:08.259 alert, folks. That's right. Stefan Diggs joins 00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:10.900 the Patriots. Russell Wilson heads to the Big 00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:14.439 Apple. Christian Benford stays in Buffalo. The 00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.739 Aaron Rodgers saga continues. Free agency grades 00:00:17.739 --> 00:00:22.379 and the state of the AFC South. Okay, the divisional 00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:26.179 rodeo continues, folks. I know it's been a while 00:00:26.179 --> 00:00:28.300 since I put out an episode, but I had to go through 00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:31.100 each and every team and evaluate all of their 00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:34.259 free agency moves. far because why? The first 00:00:34.259 --> 00:00:38.439 wave, okay? Yes, wave of free agency is over. 00:00:38.659 --> 00:00:41.219 Things have died down a little bit, so now we 00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:44.240 need to evaluate. All of this and more on the 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.159 74th episode of the Football Junkies Podcast, 00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:48.840 okay? I am your host with the most. I am your 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.780 chief, Bagro Damas. I am your chief, head of 00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:54.020 the table. Anything and everything related to 00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:58.000 the draft, the bag, truth bombs. All those things 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.759 and more. I am that guy. I am your GM who currently 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.560 is not on the team right now. But don't you worry 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.040 about it, okay? Don't you worry about it. Because 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.359 guess what? I am all these things and more, okay? 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.640 But guess what? The most important title that 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.159 you must remember, my fellow football junkies, 00:01:15.219 --> 00:01:18.079 is I am your host, Kale. You already know how 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.040 these things are about to go. If you got to clean 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.680 up your room, clean out your car, wash the dishes, 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.540 clean the grill, whatever you need to do, this 00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:28.750 is the perfect. episode to get those tasks done 00:01:28.750 --> 00:01:31.829 okay while also learning more about your team 00:01:31.829 --> 00:01:34.650 and getting your weekly football junkies fix 00:01:34.650 --> 00:01:37.170 so guess what on three one two three let's lock 00:01:37.170 --> 00:02:04.629 in All right, folks, let's just get into the 00:02:04.629 --> 00:02:06.829 meat and potatoes of everything that is going 00:02:06.829 --> 00:02:09.569 on in the league right now. So let us get into 00:02:09.569 --> 00:02:12.289 these bag alerts, then we'll get into the grades, 00:02:12.389 --> 00:02:16.030 and then we'll get into the divisional rodeo, 00:02:16.030 --> 00:02:19.110 folks, okay? Stephon Diggs inks a four -year 00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:22.250 69 million with the Patriots, 25 million guaranteed. 00:02:22.289 --> 00:02:25.310 He'll be making 17 .2 million a year. When we 00:02:25.310 --> 00:02:29.189 look at his stats, 64 targets for 47 receptions 00:02:29.189 --> 00:02:32.879 for 496 receiving yards. three touchdowns, and 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.580 10 .6 yards per session. My takeaway is the Patriots 00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:39.419 added a veteran receiver who is going to help 00:02:39.419 --> 00:02:42.680 mentor the young receivers that are already there 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.639 in Javon Baker and Jalen Polk and whoever else 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.580 is there. You have somebody who is gonna be able 00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:52.099 to open and expand the offense even more because 00:02:52.099 --> 00:02:54.060 everybody's gonna be focused on Stephon Diggs, 00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:56.969 which will then create... opportunities for Javon 00:02:56.969 --> 00:03:00.449 Baker, Jalen Polk, and Austin Hooper, and everybody 00:03:00.449 --> 00:03:03.150 else on the offense. So all in all, this is a 00:03:03.150 --> 00:03:05.590 really great signing because I would have thought 00:03:05.590 --> 00:03:07.689 Stephon Diggs probably would have asked more. 00:03:07.889 --> 00:03:10.710 But for him to take less, I mean, that's actually... 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.259 Pretty good. Now, he probably took less because 00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:15.099 he wants to be in the division so that he can 00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:17.620 get his revenge on the Bills. Maybe. I don't 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:19.680 know. I'm not going to speculate. But all in 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.400 all, the Patriots have really shown that, hey, 00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:24.819 listen, we are not somebody that's just going 00:03:24.819 --> 00:03:28.280 to try to build things brick by brick. No, we 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.639 are somebody who is going to allocate the funds 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.800 to some ballers. to some playmakers, to some 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.159 difference makers, so that we can try to make 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.439 this team a little bit better than what it has 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.500 been the last two or three years, which I can't 00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:43.659 blame them for. I mean, they literally have the 00:03:43.659 --> 00:03:46.080 most amount of cap space in the entire league, 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.319 so they can continue to sign players to these 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.800 big contracts and not lose an inch of sleep. 00:03:52.610 --> 00:03:55.030 Not to mention this benefits Drake May as well 00:03:55.030 --> 00:03:57.969 because he now has a reliable weapon that he 00:03:57.969 --> 00:04:00.550 can throw to. Let's be real here, folks. Stephon 00:04:00.550 --> 00:04:03.830 Diggs is still a very productive and consistent 00:04:03.830 --> 00:04:07.030 wide receiver in the league. He is still somebody 00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:10.110 that a lot of defenses still have to plan for. 00:04:10.409 --> 00:04:13.189 He is still somebody that a lot of corners are 00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:14.949 going to have a tough time dealing with because 00:04:14.949 --> 00:04:17.170 you have somebody that's a really good route 00:04:17.170 --> 00:04:19.709 runner, that's really good when it comes to contested 00:04:19.709 --> 00:04:23.449 catches. He can do it all. so all in all great 00:04:23.449 --> 00:04:26.449 job for the patriots this would be a plus just 00:04:26.449 --> 00:04:29.209 off this signing alone but we'll get into that 00:04:29.209 --> 00:04:32.009 part but let's get into the russell wilson conundrum 00:04:32.009 --> 00:04:34.829 okay so russell wilson inks a one -year 10 .5 00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:38.069 million dollar deal which can go up to 21 million 00:04:38.069 --> 00:04:40.670 based off of various criteria that are being 00:04:40.670 --> 00:04:43.329 met 10 .5 million guaranteed he'll be making 00:04:43.329 --> 00:04:46.529 10 .5 million a year so when we look at his stats 00:04:46.529 --> 00:04:50.939 last year 336 attempts for 214 completions for 00:04:50.939 --> 00:04:55.879 2 ,482 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, 5 picks, 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:59.660 and 7 .4 yards per attempt. Here's the problem 00:04:59.660 --> 00:05:03.100 with Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson believes 00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:06.779 that he is still the Russell Wilson of old, and 00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:09.360 reality hasn't caught up to him yet. We literally 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.980 saw somebody who was just waiting for the Steelers 00:05:12.980 --> 00:05:15.759 to call him back and to give him a deal. And 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.079 the Steelers didn't want to do that. And a lot 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.660 of that has to do with Russ. Because Russ's team 00:05:21.660 --> 00:05:25.579 leaked out a story to Pittsburgh Post -Gazette 00:05:25.579 --> 00:05:28.740 insider Jerry Dulac, alleging that there were, 00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:31.800 I would say, disagreement between Arthur Smith 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:35.300 and Russell Wilson. And so the ripple effect 00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:38.680 that it caused was not only felt in the locker 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.339 room, but it was also felt in the front office 00:05:41.339 --> 00:05:45.139 as well. And so in doing so, that probably fractured 00:05:45.139 --> 00:05:47.540 whatever little chance that he had left to go 00:05:47.540 --> 00:05:51.579 back to the Steelers. And so there were rumors 00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:54.000 that he may go to the Browns. That didn't happen. 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.120 And so the only valuable choice was who? The 00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.040 Giants. Because the Giants have been looking 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.759 for a quarterback. Now, we all know that they've 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.560 been in the drama conundrum, whatever you want 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.160 to call it, between Russell Wilson and Aaron 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.790 Rodgers and any other veteran quarterback. For 00:06:10.790 --> 00:06:13.250 them to have two veteran quarterbacks already 00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:15.370 on their team, I don't know how is this really 00:06:15.370 --> 00:06:18.850 going to work. Not to mention, does this alter 00:06:18.850 --> 00:06:21.850 their draft plans? Because let's be real here, 00:06:21.910 --> 00:06:25.610 folks. Between the Browns, the Giants, and the 00:06:25.610 --> 00:06:28.250 Titans, somebody is going to get two of those 00:06:28.250 --> 00:06:31.350 quarterbacks. Somebody is going to have Cam Ward 00:06:31.350 --> 00:06:33.750 and Shador Sanders as their next quarterbacks 00:06:33.750 --> 00:06:36.870 for this upcoming season. Now, do I think it's 00:06:36.870 --> 00:06:39.610 going to be the Giants? No. Does this lower the 00:06:39.610 --> 00:06:42.230 priority for quarterback? No, because I still 00:06:42.230 --> 00:06:44.910 believe that they will draft a quarterback. I 00:06:44.910 --> 00:06:47.410 just believe that they'll either do it in the 00:06:47.410 --> 00:06:50.410 second or third round because not a lot of these 00:06:50.410 --> 00:06:52.209 quarterbacks are going to be taken pretty high. 00:06:52.350 --> 00:06:55.990 I think if they get someone like a Jalen Milrow 00:06:55.990 --> 00:07:01.290 or a Quinn Ewers or Riley Leonard or the quarterback 00:07:01.290 --> 00:07:03.870 from Ohio State, if they get any of those guys, 00:07:04.009 --> 00:07:06.420 I think it would still be. Pretty good because 00:07:06.420 --> 00:07:09.279 they can sit and they can learn from a Russell 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.980 Wilson, from a Jameis Winston. Because right 00:07:11.980 --> 00:07:14.860 now the Giants are in a situation where they 00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:17.879 have to start winning more games. If they don't 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:20.839 start winning games, Joe Shane and Brian Dable 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.279 will be fired. John Mira has already let that 00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:27.120 be known. He's tired of being patient and he's 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.779 tired of waiting for things to turn around, which 00:07:29.779 --> 00:07:32.560 I don't blame him for. But if we're being real 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.720 here and if we're being really transparent here, 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.019 A lot of this falls on Joe Shane's shoulders. 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.279 And the reason why I say that is because his 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.259 mishandling of the Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley 00:07:44.259 --> 00:07:48.120 situation. Here you are fighting tooth and nail 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.720 with Daniel Jones to hash out a deal, but you 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:53.759 didn't want to do the same thing for Saquon Barkley. 00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:58.060 And everyone told you that, hey. Maybe we should 00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:01.019 try to prioritize going after Saquon Barkley. 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.360 And you didn't want to do that because your foundation 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.959 was who's going to pay a running back $12 million 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.240 a year. The Eagles didn't. And guess what? They 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.079 got a Super Bowl for it. Meanwhile, you are trying 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.959 to find somebody that can fill the void that 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.779 Saquon Barkley had. not to mention you got off 00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:22.220 of Daniel Jones as well. Now, granted, I understand 00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:24.399 that Daniel Jones really has been playing the 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.579 best, and that's for various different reasons, 00:08:26.660 --> 00:08:29.620 but the fact of the matter is you mishandled 00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:33.659 those situations so badly that if it was me personally, 00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:36.419 you would have been fired because why in the 00:08:36.419 --> 00:08:39.659 world would you let someone in a Saquon Barkley, 00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:42.840 as great as he is, just walk out of your door? 00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:45.200 You don't even fight for him. You don't even 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.440 try to have negotiations with him. You just said, 00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:50.700 you know what? We'll let you test the market. 00:08:50.940 --> 00:08:53.519 Let us know what the market is telling you, and 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.379 then we'll figure out if we can match the number 00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:58.139 or not. That was the dumbest thing that you could 00:08:58.139 --> 00:09:01.840 have ever did and said, because you just allowed 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.139 him to dictate his future. And that's exactly 00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:08.059 what he did. Even if you would have traded him 00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:09.639 and you would have gotten at least a second or 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.039 third round pick, at least you dictated where 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:13.980 he wanted to go. And at least you got something 00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:16.919 back. You didn't get anything back from Saquon 00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.519 Barkley, but just you becoming a meme for all 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.059 of Giants Nation. Because guess what? For the 00:09:24.059 --> 00:09:27.460 rest of Saquon Barkley's career, everyone is 00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:30.320 going to replay that clip of you sitting in your 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.399 office. And John Mayer telling you, I'm going 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.600 to have a tough time sleeping at night knowing 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.399 that Saquon Barkley goes to the Eagles, as well 00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.419 as the other clips of the people on your staff 00:09:41.419 --> 00:09:44.080 who are basically saying, listen, we need to 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.919 prioritize Saquon Barkley. Saquon Barkley plays 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.539 a very pivotal role in this offense. And you 00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:54.080 just laughed and you smiled. So now you have 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.039 to figure out exactly how you're going to turn 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.100 this ship around. And signing Javon Holland. 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.480 It was not the ideal situation, but we'll get 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.179 into the grades when it comes to that. But all 00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:08.059 in all, Russell Wilson gets another chance to 00:10:08.059 --> 00:10:09.940 possibly be a starter, even though he's already 00:10:09.940 --> 00:10:12.279 let it be known that he will be the starter. 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.700 So I don't know how that's going to work, but 00:10:15.700 --> 00:10:18.179 I can already see where this is about to go. 00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:21.179 Giants, you have a lot to deal with this offseason. 00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:24.080 Now on to Christian Benford. So he inks a four 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.919 -year $76 million deal, $19 million a year. When 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.809 we look at his stats, 63 tackles, one sack, and 00:10:31.809 --> 00:10:34.950 he was targeted against 60 times and only allowed 00:10:34.950 --> 00:10:38.870 36 receptions for 320 yards, four touchdowns, 00:10:38.870 --> 00:10:42.370 and had two picks. Christian Bedford is somebody 00:10:42.370 --> 00:10:45.950 who goes up against number one receivers as well 00:10:45.950 --> 00:10:48.309 as number two receivers. I have seen him go up 00:10:48.309 --> 00:10:51.230 against Marvin Harrison Jr. I've seen him go 00:10:51.230 --> 00:10:53.590 up against Jalen Waddle. He can hold his own. 00:10:53.769 --> 00:10:57.299 He's not somebody that... That gets a whole lot 00:10:57.299 --> 00:10:59.919 of media attention, but he probably should just 00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:02.460 because of how good he plays. You're talking 00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:05.679 about somebody that can hold his own, that can 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.460 make the tackle, that can make the deflection, 00:11:08.539 --> 00:11:11.399 that can get the pick. He is that type of corner. 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.840 Now, the thing is this. This raises the stock 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.220 more for people like Isaiah McDuffie and Tyreek 00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:22.620 Woolen and anybody else that are going to be 00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:26.930 looking for deals after this season. because 00:11:26.930 --> 00:11:30.190 J .C. Horn got paid, and then Christian Bedford 00:11:30.190 --> 00:11:31.909 got paid. I know there was probably like one 00:11:31.909 --> 00:11:34.629 more corner. What's his name? What's his name? 00:11:34.649 --> 00:11:38.230 What's his name? Derek Stingley. So the price 00:11:38.230 --> 00:11:41.049 continues to go up for corner. So if you are 00:11:41.049 --> 00:11:43.789 a corner that's about to be a free agent, you're 00:11:43.789 --> 00:11:46.009 probably happy. Oh, and Byron Murphy as well. 00:11:46.070 --> 00:11:48.830 So it's been a pretty good offseason for corner. 00:11:49.690 --> 00:11:53.570 So, I mean, it's a good time to celebrate, but 00:11:53.570 --> 00:11:56.389 at the same time, This raises the expectation 00:11:56.389 --> 00:11:59.730 level for everybody because everybody wants to 00:11:59.730 --> 00:12:03.590 get paid, including a sauce, Tyreek Woolen. I 00:12:03.590 --> 00:12:05.509 think Joey Porter Jr. is going to have to get 00:12:05.509 --> 00:12:08.009 paid soon. There's a lot of good corners that 00:12:08.009 --> 00:12:09.710 are going to have to be getting paid soon, and 00:12:09.710 --> 00:12:13.070 the number keeps on rising. So if you're a GM, 00:12:14.409 --> 00:12:16.309 you might have a tough night, but it's going 00:12:16.309 --> 00:12:19.899 to be all right. Let's get into the, actually, 00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:21.820 you know what? Let's wait. Let's wait for the 00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:23.779 free agency grades because that's going to take 00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:25.419 a while. Let's get into the Aaron Rodgers saga. 00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:28.980 So, so far, here's what's happened with Aaron 00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:33.000 Rodgers. He unexpectedly decided to come to Pittsburgh, 00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:36.799 and in doing so, he calls the Steelers to cancel 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:40.379 their meeting with the Michigan Pro Day, all 00:12:40.379 --> 00:12:43.419 right? And in doing so, he spent about six hours 00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:46.600 at the facility meeting with Mike Tomlin, Omar 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.879 Khan, Aruni II, various coaches and whatnot, 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.559 maybe a few players. He met with everybody, okay? 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.799 He sat down with Arthur Smith, looked at some 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.299 footage, basically had a brainstorming session 00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:03.679 between Arthur Smith and himself just to figure 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.559 out exactly how things would work if Aaron Rodgers 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.159 decided to sign with the Steelers. And so he 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.080 left Pittsburgh without a deal. Well, agreeing 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.559 to a deal specifically. And here we are once 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:19.980 again. And so at this point. And I'm not saying 00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:21.899 this as a Steelers fan, but I'm just saying this 00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:23.960 as somebody that just wants to be transparent. 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.600 I'm getting very tired of this story. I'm getting 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.980 very tired of hearing about this story. I'm getting 00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:33.299 very tired of people speculating various things 00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:35.320 when they don't have any credible information. 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.879 This morning, before I even recorded this episode, 00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:42.440 Mike Garofalo, he talked about on the NFL Network 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.580 that, you know, DK Metcalf and Aaron Rodgers 00:13:45.580 --> 00:13:48.440 had a throwing session this past weekend at UCLA. 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.059 And so to some people, they're like, oh, my God, 00:13:52.139 --> 00:13:53.539 they're doing something to do something. But 00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:56.940 it's like no real movement has really been made. 00:13:57.500 --> 00:14:01.000 And if I'm Aaron Rodgers, I probably am taking 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.100 my time because do I really want to go to the 00:14:03.100 --> 00:14:05.820 Steelers? with all the problems that they have, 00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:08.460 you don't have a really good offensive line, 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.919 and you're going to be playing in the cold. You're 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.120 not going to be in the dome. There is not one 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.840 stadium in the AFC North that has a dome. Nobody 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.460 does. Cleveland always gets cold first, and Pittsburgh. 00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:23.460 Baltimore is probably the last team that actually 00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:25.879 gets really cold, all right? Do you really want 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:29.720 to take that on? No. You're almost 42 years old. 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:31.039 You don't want to take that type of punishment. 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.320 Come on, man. Really? Really think about this. 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:36.899 Really think about this. But if you're the Steelers, 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.919 why do you want to continue to wait for somebody 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:42.940 to make their decision? As Adam Schefter has 00:14:42.940 --> 00:14:47.000 said, either you want to play or you don't. It's 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.399 a simple decision. Either you want to put on 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.259 your shoulder pads and you want to practice in 00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:53.980 the summer and get everything together or you 00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:55.779 don't. That's just what it is at this point. 00:14:56.019 --> 00:14:58.799 Stop lilygagging and stop trying to beat around 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.320 the bush. Either you sign the contract or you 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.320 don't. Because right now, you are holding a team 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.440 hostage with your actions. Now, me personally, 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.960 I do not want Aaron Rodgers on the Steelers simply 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.899 because I understand the baggage that comes with 00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:19.940 Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is not the type 00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:22.740 of quarterback who is going to rally around everybody, 00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:25.159 who's going to get everybody together, who's 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:29.240 going to take the extra mile when it comes to 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:32.549 really understanding his teammates. He is somebody 00:15:32.549 --> 00:15:35.690 that moves at the beat of his own drum, who does 00:15:35.690 --> 00:15:38.590 whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however 00:15:38.590 --> 00:15:42.110 he wants. That's who Aaron Rodgers is. We literally 00:15:42.110 --> 00:15:48.190 saw somebody who systematically destroyed a locker 00:15:48.190 --> 00:15:52.830 room within the Jets with his words. Not his 00:15:52.830 --> 00:15:56.570 actions, but with his words. We literally saw 00:15:56.570 --> 00:16:00.110 this man throw Mike Williams under the bus on 00:16:00.110 --> 00:16:03.830 the Pat McAfee show. We saw that. We saw somebody 00:16:03.830 --> 00:16:08.029 who continued to point the finger at everybody 00:16:08.029 --> 00:16:12.990 else except for himself. We looked at somebody 00:16:12.990 --> 00:16:18.090 who literally was supposed to be the beacon, 00:16:18.269 --> 00:16:21.549 the shining light for the Jets, a person that 00:16:21.549 --> 00:16:24.330 the younger players could look up to, and he 00:16:24.330 --> 00:16:27.470 failed to meet those expectations. Do you really 00:16:27.470 --> 00:16:30.350 want that in your locker room, Steelers fans? 00:16:31.019 --> 00:16:36.679 I don't think so. We've had maybe four to five 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.759 years straight of just constant drama and just 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.299 a whole bunch of just talking into the offseason. 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.019 When can we just have just one quiet offseason? 00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:53.379 When? We all know that the minute that Aaron 00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:57.200 Rodgers touched down in Latrobe, every camera, 00:16:57.379 --> 00:17:01.519 every reporter, every... Channel whatever you 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.599 want. It's going to be there covering every single 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.240 little thing that Aaron Rodgers does. And I just 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.680 don't want that personally. Because when it gets 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.299 ugly, Aaron Rodgers is going to start name dropping 00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:16.960 and he's going to start pointing fingers. And 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.400 I don't think nobody can handle that. We don't 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:23.819 have a structure within the offense that can 00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:26.279 balance everything out. Because you're going 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.329 to have to deal with the personalities. of DK 00:17:29.329 --> 00:17:34.529 Metcalf, George Pickens, and Aaron Rodgers. Now 00:17:34.529 --> 00:17:37.009 DK Metcalf, you probably don't have to worry 00:17:37.009 --> 00:17:40.529 about as much because it's more on field than 00:17:40.529 --> 00:17:44.130 off field. Whereas George Pickens, it's a little 00:17:44.130 --> 00:17:47.210 bit of both. It's the same thing with Aaron Rodgers 00:17:47.210 --> 00:17:50.619 as well. I was one of the people last year who 00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:54.420 was very critical of Aaron Rodgers' actions when 00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:58.160 he decided to go on a vacation, I think, in Egypt 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:01.940 or wherever it was, instead of staying for OTAs. 00:18:02.539 --> 00:18:05.059 And my stance was, and I will continue to stand 00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:07.619 on it, was you should have stayed there so you 00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:09.920 could develop more chemistry with your players. 00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:12.859 Because had you did that, I think you probably 00:18:12.859 --> 00:18:15.519 would have seen a better outcome with the entire 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.750 season. But instead... What did you want to do? 00:18:18.829 --> 00:18:21.309 You decided that you want to go on a quote -unquote 00:18:21.309 --> 00:18:25.289 pre -planned vacation. Unacceptable for somebody 00:18:25.289 --> 00:18:28.130 like an Aaron Rodgers. We're talking about somebody 00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:31.190 who is going to be a first ballot Hall of Famer, 00:18:31.269 --> 00:18:33.970 somebody that's going to go down in history as 00:18:33.970 --> 00:18:36.250 one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, 00:18:36.430 --> 00:18:39.150 as one of the greatest throwers of all time. 00:18:39.809 --> 00:18:41.910 And you are not living up to those standards. 00:18:42.990 --> 00:18:46.069 Now, me personally, I would rather want Aaron 00:18:46.069 --> 00:18:51.450 Rodgers to go, to either the Vikings or the 49ers. 00:18:51.569 --> 00:18:55.450 And the reason why I say that is because offensively, 00:18:55.450 --> 00:18:58.369 they have a structure to be able to support someone 00:18:58.369 --> 00:19:01.250 like an Aaron Rodgers compared to the Steelers. 00:19:01.509 --> 00:19:05.470 Not to mention the Vikings specifically, they 00:19:05.470 --> 00:19:08.089 have made the moves that they made this offseason 00:19:08.089 --> 00:19:13.059 for a veteran quarterback. Not to mention, there 00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:15.539 was a report that came out, I think, by Jordan 00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:19.619 Schultz a few weeks ago that said that Ryan Tannehill 00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:23.359 has been in discussions with the Vikings. That 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.019 lets you know that the Vikings are thinking about 00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:29.380 adding a veteran quarterback. Now, me personally, 00:19:29.660 --> 00:19:32.839 I think the reason why they've been teetering 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.220 the line so fairly is because they don't want 00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:40.180 to ruin whatever confidence that J .J. McCarthy 00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:43.900 has. They want him to be able to grow and to 00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:47.880 develop and whatnot. But at the same time, you 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.119 have to realize that this is probably your best 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:52.900 window of winning. Because think about this. 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.839 You have probably a top five, maybe top 10 defense. 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:01.579 You have Justin Jefferson, Jordan Adison, TJ 00:20:01.579 --> 00:20:04.359 Hawkinson. What's the running back's name? Aaron 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.029 Jones. You have a really good offense. All you 00:20:08.029 --> 00:20:10.369 need to do is just thread the needle, which is 00:20:10.369 --> 00:20:15.369 what? Win. And who better to really win than 00:20:15.369 --> 00:20:17.390 Aaron Rodgers? We're talking about somebody that 00:20:17.390 --> 00:20:21.710 used to dominate the division. So I say all that 00:20:21.710 --> 00:20:24.410 to say this. Either Aaron Rodgers is waiting 00:20:24.410 --> 00:20:28.569 for a better opportunity or he just wants to 00:20:28.569 --> 00:20:31.609 retire. It's one of the two. I think he's trying 00:20:31.609 --> 00:20:35.490 to weigh things out. But at the same time, time 00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:38.470 is ticking. We are less than a month away from 00:20:38.470 --> 00:20:41.470 the draft. And the longer that this draws out, 00:20:41.609 --> 00:20:43.990 the worse it's going to look like for the Steelers 00:20:43.990 --> 00:20:46.650 because this will be the second year in a row 00:20:46.650 --> 00:20:48.950 where the Steelers have waited all the way to 00:20:48.950 --> 00:20:52.109 the end for somebody just for them not to get 00:20:52.109 --> 00:20:56.190 the reward. Really think about that. And there's 00:20:56.190 --> 00:20:58.309 another theory that I also have as well that 00:20:58.309 --> 00:21:00.970 I definitely want to share. I was going to save 00:21:00.970 --> 00:21:05.000 it. I was. I was going to save it for... for 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.480 the divisional rodeo for the AFC North. But I 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.079 think because of this situation, I think I could 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.460 probably shed a little bit of light. And this 00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:16.319 is my theory. I think a lot of players now use 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:19.880 the Steelers as leverage in order to go into 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.319 a better opportunity. Now hear me out. Walk with 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.640 me, all right? We saw with Brandon Iyuk. Brandon 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.980 Iyuk was very disgruntled with the 49ers. He 00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:29.839 wanted more money. Guess what he did? He put 00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.319 out a list of the teams that he wanted to go 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.230 to. The Steelers was on that list. The Steelers 00:21:36.230 --> 00:21:40.410 was the last team to fight tooth and nail all 00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:44.349 the way to the last minute for Brandon Iyuk. 00:21:44.490 --> 00:21:46.829 And guess what happened? Brandon Iyuk had a come 00:21:46.829 --> 00:21:48.789 to Jesus moment and he signed the contract and 00:21:48.789 --> 00:21:52.009 he stayed with the 49ers. Deebo Samuel, when 00:21:52.009 --> 00:21:54.470 word was coming out that Deebo Samuel was going 00:21:54.470 --> 00:21:56.390 to get traded, guess what happened? The Steelers 00:21:56.390 --> 00:21:59.630 was the first team that everyone said was going 00:21:59.630 --> 00:22:01.670 to pick up the phone and call for Deebo Samuel. 00:22:02.509 --> 00:22:04.589 And then there were even reports that were coming 00:22:04.589 --> 00:22:06.410 out and saying that Debo wanted to go to the 00:22:06.410 --> 00:22:10.029 Steelers. Guess what happened? He went to Washington, 00:22:10.210 --> 00:22:13.730 as I definitely predicted. Same thing with Aaron 00:22:13.730 --> 00:22:16.890 Rodgers. I don't think Aaron Rodgers really wants 00:22:16.890 --> 00:22:19.369 to go to the Steelers. I think Aaron Rodgers 00:22:19.369 --> 00:22:23.849 is entertaining the idea, but I think his heart 00:22:23.849 --> 00:22:28.009 really wants to go to the Vikings or to the 49ers. 00:22:28.649 --> 00:22:31.049 The 49ers, you're in a warmer climate, you really 00:22:31.049 --> 00:22:33.549 don't have to play a bunch of cold games, and 00:22:33.549 --> 00:22:35.109 you can be really dominant in your division. 00:22:35.630 --> 00:22:39.230 The Vikings, you're in a dome stadium. At best, 00:22:39.230 --> 00:22:41.150 you're only going to have to play two outdoor 00:22:41.150 --> 00:22:43.890 games. And that's with who? The Packers and the 00:22:43.890 --> 00:22:48.150 Bears. That's it. So I say all that to say this. 00:22:49.450 --> 00:22:51.990 Although I would love for this situation to be 00:22:51.990 --> 00:22:55.079 resolved now, I don't think it's going to be 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.599 resolved for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:01.059 if this doesn't get resolved until maybe after 00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:07.000 the draft, maybe. That's just how slow Aaron 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.160 Rodgers is dragging his feet with this situation. 00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:12.960 But when the news breaks, I'll be sure to let 00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.859 you guys know. I'll share my thoughts and all 00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:17.779 of that and more, okay? So let's get into these 00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:21.039 free agency grades, okay? Because the first wave 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.009 of free agency is done. All right? It's always 00:23:24.009 --> 00:23:27.470 the first wave that's like somewhat of the biggest 00:23:27.470 --> 00:23:29.710 wave out of all of them. And then you have that 00:23:29.710 --> 00:23:32.849 second to third wave that happens post -draft 00:23:32.849 --> 00:23:35.470 where a lot of veteran players are just trying 00:23:35.470 --> 00:23:37.829 to see what opportunities are available for them. 00:23:37.950 --> 00:23:40.549 So let's just get into it. So let's start with 00:23:40.549 --> 00:23:43.930 the NFC North. All right? So with the Vikings. 00:23:44.650 --> 00:23:47.690 Actually, no. Lions. I have to start with them. 00:23:47.789 --> 00:23:50.289 So with Lions, I gave them a B. All right? Their 00:23:50.289 --> 00:23:53.849 positions of need. DB, Edge, Interior Offensive 00:23:53.849 --> 00:23:57.250 Line, Defensive Line. So they acquired DJ Reed, 00:23:57.509 --> 00:24:01.130 Roy Lopez, Grant Stroud, Avante Maddox, Kenny 00:24:01.130 --> 00:24:04.269 Yoba, Kyle Allen, Rakia Sin, just to name a few, 00:24:04.349 --> 00:24:07.430 all right? The people that left were Carlton 00:24:07.430 --> 00:24:10.509 Davis, Kevin Zeidler, Afitu Malafanu, Kendall 00:24:10.509 --> 00:24:13.369 Vildor, and Jonah Williams, just to name a few. 00:24:13.529 --> 00:24:16.690 So for me personally, I would say a B. And the 00:24:16.690 --> 00:24:20.430 reason why I say that is because the Lions are 00:24:20.430 --> 00:24:22.970 in a situation where they don't have to be super 00:24:22.970 --> 00:24:25.730 aggressive in free agency. Because their team, 00:24:25.750 --> 00:24:28.289 for the majority, is already assembled. They 00:24:28.289 --> 00:24:30.710 just have to fill in certain points on their 00:24:30.710 --> 00:24:34.289 team. And we all knew that the Lions were going 00:24:34.289 --> 00:24:37.849 to make some type of investment at corner to 00:24:37.849 --> 00:24:41.910 help with Terryon Arnold. And so getting DJ Reed 00:24:41.910 --> 00:24:45.140 was actually a pretty good deal. I think... You're 00:24:45.140 --> 00:24:47.119 dealing with somebody that can definitely be 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:52.099 cornerback one or cornerback two. And so all 00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:54.059 in all, I think that was a really good signing. 00:24:54.099 --> 00:24:58.500 Now, everything else after that, it's more deaf 00:24:58.500 --> 00:25:01.960 pieces, you know, second or third tier type of 00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:05.579 players. Nothing really, you know, impactful, 00:25:05.819 --> 00:25:09.000 if that makes sense. So all in all, I would give 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.990 them a B. For right now, I think their biggest 00:25:11.990 --> 00:25:15.470 move was DJ Reed. Everybody else was very smaller 00:25:15.470 --> 00:25:18.269 type of deals and whatnot. And when we look at 00:25:18.269 --> 00:25:20.769 the Vikings, on the other hand, I gave them an 00:25:20.769 --> 00:25:24.569 A. And the reason why is gonna be discussed shortly. 00:25:24.789 --> 00:25:27.650 So they acquired Will Fries, Jonathan Allen, 00:25:27.829 --> 00:25:30.509 Javon Hargrave, Ryan Kelly, Isaiah Rogers, Eric 00:25:30.509 --> 00:25:34.690 Wilson, Jeff Okuda, Taveri Thomas, Justin School, 00:25:34.950 --> 00:25:36.890 Tim Jones, and Rondell Moore, just to name a 00:25:36.890 --> 00:25:40.410 few, okay? Now, the people that left, Sam Darnold, 00:25:40.509 --> 00:25:43.470 Cameron Bynum, Daniel Jones, Cam Robinson, Patrick 00:25:43.470 --> 00:25:47.289 Jones, Garrett Bradbury, Trent Shurfield, Johnny 00:25:47.289 --> 00:25:50.089 Munt, Nick Mullins, and Jerry Tillery, just to 00:25:50.089 --> 00:25:52.549 name a few. So the reason why I gave them an 00:25:52.549 --> 00:25:55.769 A was because, for one, they addressed interior 00:25:55.769 --> 00:25:58.789 offensive line very well, as well as defensive 00:25:58.789 --> 00:26:02.079 line. Not to mention, they also added some really 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.779 good depth pieces when it comes to corner as 00:26:04.779 --> 00:26:07.000 well. Because again, their positions of need 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.220 is corner, interior linebacker, interior linebacker, 00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:13.799 inside linebacker, excuse me, safety, running 00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.259 back, defensive line, interior offensive line, 00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:20.309 and tight end. The only position that... I don't 00:26:20.309 --> 00:26:22.569 think they really addressed was tight end. And 00:26:22.569 --> 00:26:24.029 me personally, I feel like they'll definitely 00:26:24.029 --> 00:26:25.849 address that in the draft because I feel like 00:26:25.849 --> 00:26:27.690 the tight end draft class this year is actually 00:26:27.690 --> 00:26:30.910 really good. So I don't blame them for that. 00:26:31.150 --> 00:26:34.430 Now, defensive line, you got Javon Hargrave and 00:26:34.430 --> 00:26:37.710 Jonathan Allen. That is an instant upgrade. I 00:26:37.710 --> 00:26:39.829 don't care what anyone says. That is a better 00:26:39.829 --> 00:26:42.410 upgrade right now. So now your defensive line 00:26:42.410 --> 00:26:45.829 is going to be, what's his name? Dallas Turner, 00:26:46.069 --> 00:26:48.150 Javon Hargrave, Jonathan Allen. I forget who 00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:50.420 the other pass rusher is. That's really good. 00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:53.579 That's really, really, really good. Not to mention, 00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:57.180 you show up the interior offensive line as well 00:26:57.180 --> 00:27:01.279 with Will Fries and Ryan Kelly as well. So all 00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:03.859 in all, those are really good signings. And not 00:27:03.859 --> 00:27:06.619 to mention, you didn't break the bank for any 00:27:06.619 --> 00:27:10.119 of those deals. So that's even better. You bring 00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.519 in someone like Isaiah Rodgers who actually played 00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:16.430 really well with the Eagles. Jeff Okuda, he's 00:27:16.430 --> 00:27:18.490 still trying to find his way. I think coming 00:27:18.490 --> 00:27:21.589 to the Vikings, I think they could probably mold 00:27:21.589 --> 00:27:24.410 him into the first round corner that he was supposed 00:27:24.410 --> 00:27:27.950 to be a few years ago. Now, when we look at the 00:27:27.950 --> 00:27:31.910 Packers, though, I want to say a B +, but I'm 00:27:31.910 --> 00:27:34.789 a little bit on the edge about it. And the reason 00:27:34.789 --> 00:27:37.089 why I say that is because of who they acquired 00:27:37.089 --> 00:27:40.210 and whatnot. So right now, all they acquired 00:27:40.210 --> 00:27:42.829 was just Nate Hobbs, Aaron Banks, McCole Hartman. 00:27:43.450 --> 00:27:47.490 Who left was to Daryl Slayton, Eric Stokes, Eric 00:27:47.490 --> 00:27:50.089 Wilson, Josh Myers, Ballantyne, A .J. Dillon, 00:27:50.269 --> 00:27:52.910 and Robert Rochelle, just to name a few. So the 00:27:52.910 --> 00:27:57.589 reason why I say all of this is because for positions 00:27:57.589 --> 00:27:59.789 of need, sure, corner was on there, but you got 00:27:59.789 --> 00:28:01.670 a slot corner, which I feel like you may have 00:28:01.670 --> 00:28:04.190 overpaid just a little bit. Interior offensive 00:28:04.190 --> 00:28:07.309 line, Aaron Banks, I feel like you overpaid for 00:28:07.309 --> 00:28:10.890 that as well. Wide receiver, you got McCole Hartman, 00:28:10.930 --> 00:28:14.700 who... is maybe what wide receiver three at this 00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:17.200 point may be good when it comes to special teams 00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.279 and whatnot but that's probably about it edge 00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:22.380 you really didn't you didn't really address it 00:28:22.380 --> 00:28:24.799 and that could be because you're saving that 00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:28.500 for the draft or something else but i just really 00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:30.660 didn't like their signings i just feel like they 00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:33.700 probably added a little more a little bit more 00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:35.920 money to just secure those deals but i could 00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:40.240 definitely be wrong uh the bears a plus and the 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:42.859 reason why We're going to be talking about that 00:28:42.859 --> 00:28:48.319 right now, actually. So they acquired Dale Odeon. 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.480 I know I'm butchering your name, so I'm just 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.740 going to say Dale. Dale O. I'm not trying to 00:28:55.740 --> 00:28:57.420 butcher your last name, dog. I'm really not. 00:28:57.740 --> 00:29:02.220 Grady Jarrett, Drew Dolman, Durham Smythe, Olamide, 00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:05.140 Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay, Nick McCloud. I forgot 00:29:05.140 --> 00:29:09.109 Joe Thune as well. And Grady Jarrett. I know 00:29:09.109 --> 00:29:12.210 I just said grade Jared again. I'm just so excited, 00:29:12.250 --> 00:29:15.269 guys. You guys don't understand how much time 00:29:15.269 --> 00:29:18.609 I put into this one episode when it comes to 00:29:18.609 --> 00:29:21.789 this grades because on one hand, I don't want 00:29:21.789 --> 00:29:25.329 to be super negative, but at the same time, I 00:29:25.329 --> 00:29:28.269 want to be able to really break down why I gave 00:29:28.269 --> 00:29:29.910 the grades for each and every one of these teams. 00:29:30.109 --> 00:29:33.049 Now, we will look at the players that left, okay? 00:29:33.630 --> 00:29:36.309 Coleman Shelton, Daryl Taylor, Tevin Jenkins, 00:29:36.529 --> 00:29:40.230 Jake Martin, Larry Bullrum, Jack Sanborn, Brian 00:29:40.230 --> 00:29:43.349 Kowar, Darrington Evans, Jalen Jones, DeAndre 00:29:43.349 --> 00:29:46.650 Carter, Matt Pryor, just to name a few. So me 00:29:46.650 --> 00:29:49.710 personally, all right, they addressed defensive 00:29:49.710 --> 00:29:53.210 line with Grady Jarrett. You addressed interior 00:29:53.210 --> 00:29:56.349 offensive line with Joe Tooney and Drew Dolman. 00:29:56.430 --> 00:29:58.410 All right, that was actually really good. Wide 00:29:58.410 --> 00:30:01.849 receiver, you get someone in Zaccheaus, who was 00:30:01.849 --> 00:30:04.730 actually really productive last season. And you 00:30:04.730 --> 00:30:07.329 also get Devin Duvernay as well, who's also good 00:30:07.329 --> 00:30:09.309 when it comes to special teams when he's healthy. 00:30:09.569 --> 00:30:13.289 So all in all, you addressed a lot of your positions 00:30:13.289 --> 00:30:16.569 fairly early. And that was actually really good. 00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:19.940 And you started things off with a defensive line, 00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.700 which to me, I just feel like that's just instant 00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:26.779 20 points, 20 bonus points, honestly. But the 00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:30.660 way that they did it was such a masterclass because 00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:33.920 you bring in Drew Dallman, you get Joe Thune, 00:30:34.059 --> 00:30:37.180 you shore up the offensive line as well as the 00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:39.539 defensive line as well. Because now on the defensive 00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:42.000 line, you're going to have Grady Jarrett, you're 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.819 going to have Montez Sweat. I forgot who the 00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:46.519 other defensive lineman was. I know there was 00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:49.119 somebody else. I'm missing them. I know. I'm 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:51.640 not trying to butcher. Wait a minute. Do I? I 00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:53.359 don't know. Forget about it. Just know the Bears 00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:55.480 are going to be better this year, okay? They're 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:58.200 going to be a whole lot better this year. Now, 00:30:58.220 --> 00:31:00.839 when we go to the NFC South, okay? Panthers, 00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:03.900 B+. Now, when we look at the players that they 00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:05.859 acquired, Trevon Moe -Rigg, Tershawn Warren, 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:09.180 Bobby Brown, not dancer, singer Bobby Brown, 00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:12.799 okay? Not that guy. Patrick Jones, Rico Dow, 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.220 Christian Roseboom, and Sam Martin, just to name 00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:18.779 a few. The people that left, Xavier Woods, Lonnie 00:31:18.779 --> 00:31:21.220 Johnson, Johnny Hecker, Dane Jackson, Miles Sanders, 00:31:21.500 --> 00:31:24.700 Jordan Fuller, Vellis Jones, Felipe Franks, and 00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:27.019 Ian Thomas, okay? They're positions of need. 00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:31.339 Wide receiver, edge, and running back. So, on 00:31:31.339 --> 00:31:35.019 one hand, I wanted to give them an A +, but... 00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:38.619 They mainly attack the defense more than really 00:31:38.619 --> 00:31:41.519 the offense. And I really wanted them to address 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:44.279 more on the offense just for Bryce Young's development. 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.440 But when we look at the players that they acquired, 00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:50.859 Tremont Mulrigg, really productive player. Tershawn 00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:53.420 Warren, really productive player. Bobby Brown, 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.039 Patrick Jones, really productive player. Patrick 00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.460 Jones is a sleeper of an edge rusher. Rico Dow, 00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:03.230 a really productive running back. Like these 00:32:03.230 --> 00:32:05.690 were some really productive signings. And so 00:32:05.690 --> 00:32:10.289 on one hand, yes, they were great. But at the 00:32:10.289 --> 00:32:13.329 same time, I wanted more from the offense only 00:32:13.329 --> 00:32:16.390 because the offense is still lacking, especially 00:32:16.390 --> 00:32:18.910 when it comes to receiver. Sure, you have Xavier 00:32:18.910 --> 00:32:21.309 Leggett, you have Adam Thielen, but you're going 00:32:21.309 --> 00:32:24.269 to need more. You're going to need somebody that 00:32:24.269 --> 00:32:28.259 can be very productive at this point. Maybe even 00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:30.059 tight. Well, you know what tight end they got? 00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:32.859 They got a few people that tight end, but I'll 00:32:32.859 --> 00:32:35.180 just leave it there, all right? Because if I 00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:36.740 don't, I'm just going to go down a wormhole, 00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:40.359 all right? Buccaneers, C+. I know Buccaneers 00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:43.460 fans, don't, please, don't find me, please, all 00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:45.509 right? So the people that they acquired, Hassan 00:32:45.509 --> 00:32:47.910 Reddick, Riley Dixon, Charlie Heck, Anthony Walker, 00:32:48.150 --> 00:32:51.410 and Kendall Vildor, just to name a few. The people 00:32:51.410 --> 00:32:55.710 that left, Robert Hainsey, Joe Tyron, Taveria 00:32:55.710 --> 00:32:59.390 Thomas, Justice School, Royce Newman, and KJ 00:32:59.390 --> 00:33:02.329 Britt. Positions of need, edge, interior offensive 00:33:02.329 --> 00:33:06.109 line, tight end, corner, safety. Hassan Reddick, 00:33:06.150 --> 00:33:08.589 I feel like, was overpaid. And I'm just going 00:33:08.589 --> 00:33:11.029 to be completely honest here, okay? He was definitely 00:33:11.029 --> 00:33:15.150 overpaid simply because... He did not show the 00:33:15.150 --> 00:33:18.670 Hasan Reddick that the Eagles had. He showed 00:33:18.670 --> 00:33:22.309 a version of Hasan Reddick that really wasn't 00:33:22.309 --> 00:33:25.329 involved in the game and really wasn't the playmaker 00:33:25.329 --> 00:33:27.549 and difference maker that he was with the Eagles. 00:33:28.430 --> 00:33:30.609 Granted, I understand that the Buccaneers only 00:33:30.609 --> 00:33:33.529 gave him a one -year deal, but the fact of the 00:33:33.529 --> 00:33:36.250 matter is, Hasan Reddick really hasn't played 00:33:36.250 --> 00:33:39.329 really well since leaving the Eagles. And then 00:33:39.329 --> 00:33:41.869 not to mention, he was holding out for what? 00:33:42.509 --> 00:33:46.309 A majority of the offseason and I think a little 00:33:46.309 --> 00:33:50.289 bit of the regular season as well. Like, no, 00:33:50.549 --> 00:33:54.269 no, no, no, no, no. Very unacceptable at this 00:33:54.269 --> 00:33:57.549 point. So I feel like that was a very bad signing. 00:33:57.809 --> 00:34:00.750 But at the same time, I understand that they 00:34:00.750 --> 00:34:04.309 wanted to address age. But I feel like you could 00:34:04.309 --> 00:34:06.250 have addressed that in the draft personally, 00:34:06.369 --> 00:34:09.630 because you already have Shaq Barrett. If you 00:34:09.630 --> 00:34:11.690 get someone like a James Pierce, if you get someone 00:34:11.690 --> 00:34:13.750 like a Jalen Walker, if you get someone like 00:34:13.750 --> 00:34:17.289 Shamar Stewart, for instance, those are upgrades. 00:34:17.409 --> 00:34:19.909 I don't see that with Hasan Reddick, but I could 00:34:19.909 --> 00:34:22.630 definitely be wrong. Riley Dixon was a really 00:34:22.630 --> 00:34:24.489 good signing. Charlie Heck, really good signing. 00:34:24.630 --> 00:34:27.250 Anthony Walker, really good signing as well. 00:34:27.590 --> 00:34:29.449 All in all, these were really good signings. 00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:32.500 They didn't really address a lot of their needs 00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:35.079 like how I thought they probably should have, 00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:37.760 but maybe they're saving that for the draft or 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.360 whatever the case may be, all right? Saints, 00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:43.780 C plus. And the reason why I say that is because 00:34:43.780 --> 00:34:47.019 for one, you were strapped for cash, so you really 00:34:47.019 --> 00:34:49.380 couldn't make a whole bunch of moves. But at 00:34:49.380 --> 00:34:52.579 the same time, the moves that you did make, they're 00:34:52.579 --> 00:34:57.260 not, what's the word? What's the word? They don't 00:34:57.260 --> 00:35:00.699 move the needle. But it definitely is somewhat 00:35:00.699 --> 00:35:03.059 of an upgrade to what you already have. So they 00:35:03.059 --> 00:35:07.079 acquired Justin Reed, Brandon Cooks, Isaac Yatim, 00:35:07.219 --> 00:35:11.059 Will Clapp, Jack Stoll, Jonah Williams, Vellis 00:35:11.059 --> 00:35:15.280 Jones, and Dylan Ruddance. Hopefully I'm not 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.679 butchering your last name. The people that left, 00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:21.980 Paulson Debo, Marquez Velding -Scantling, Will 00:35:21.980 --> 00:35:24.099 Harris, Peyton Turner, Lucas Patrick, Willie 00:35:24.099 --> 00:35:28.070 Gage, Jamar Jean. Now... Sure, they were able 00:35:28.070 --> 00:35:31.170 to re -sign Chase Young and whatnot, and they 00:35:31.170 --> 00:35:33.230 took care of a few players and whatnot, and Justin 00:35:33.230 --> 00:35:35.489 Reed was probably their big ticket signing, but 00:35:35.489 --> 00:35:39.670 the fact of the matter is that still isn't enough. 00:35:40.929 --> 00:35:43.170 Me personally, I would have thought a lot of 00:35:43.170 --> 00:35:45.469 those free agent Eagles players would have went 00:35:45.469 --> 00:35:47.329 to the Saints and followed Kellen Moore, but 00:35:47.329 --> 00:35:51.179 clearly that's not the case. C plus, I feel like 00:35:51.179 --> 00:35:53.159 that's definitely the best for them. I really 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:55.059 couldn't give them a B because they really didn't 00:35:55.059 --> 00:35:57.039 address a lot of their other positions like how 00:35:57.039 --> 00:36:00.039 I thought they probably should have. Now, when 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:03.639 we look at the Falcons, B. I was gonna give them 00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:06.480 a B minus. I wanted to give them a B plus. I 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:08.900 really didn't know, so I just left it at B, okay? 00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:11.840 So their positions of need, defensive line, wide 00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:15.019 receiver, tight end, center, and safety. So they 00:36:15.019 --> 00:36:18.000 acquired Mike Hughes, Divine Diablo, Leonard 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:20.579 Floyd, Morgan Fox, Michael Ford, Jordan Fuller, 00:36:20.579 --> 00:36:23.760 and Keith Taylor, just to name a few. The people 00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.280 that left, Grady Jarrett, Drew Dallman, Richie 00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:29.260 Grant, Lorenzo Carter, Eddie Goldman, Nathan 00:36:29.260 --> 00:36:31.980 Landman, Avery Williams, and Rondell Moore, just 00:36:31.980 --> 00:36:36.280 to name a few. So here's the thing. So Mike Hughes, 00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.179 really good signing. Divine Diablo, really good 00:36:39.179 --> 00:36:42.639 signing. Leonard Floyd was a sleeper of a signing. 00:36:43.210 --> 00:36:45.650 Believe it or not, Leonard Floyd, within the 00:36:45.650 --> 00:36:48.489 last three to four years, has actually been cleaning 00:36:48.489 --> 00:36:52.909 house. He's had, I think, two of the three last 00:36:52.909 --> 00:36:55.429 seasons, he's had double -digit sack seasons. 00:36:55.909 --> 00:36:59.070 So he's been really good. And then you get someone 00:36:59.070 --> 00:37:01.789 like a Morgan Fox, who's also a sleeper of a 00:37:01.789 --> 00:37:03.750 defensive lineman as well. I think that's actually 00:37:03.750 --> 00:37:07.630 really good, too. Mike Hughes, I think that was 00:37:07.630 --> 00:37:10.769 pretty good, too. Pair him up with AJ Terrell 00:37:10.769 --> 00:37:15.769 and whatnot. All in all, they made some significant 00:37:15.769 --> 00:37:18.909 moves, especially to shore up the defense. And 00:37:18.909 --> 00:37:20.670 they definitely addressed pass rusher because 00:37:20.670 --> 00:37:23.030 we all know that pass rusher was definitely a 00:37:23.030 --> 00:37:26.670 problem for them this past season. And so getting 00:37:26.670 --> 00:37:28.690 someone like a Leonard Floyd, I think that definitely 00:37:28.690 --> 00:37:32.869 shores up that spot. Everything else you can 00:37:32.869 --> 00:37:36.309 definitely debate about. But all in all, I think 00:37:36.309 --> 00:37:38.050 the Falcons definitely made some really good 00:37:38.050 --> 00:37:40.789 moves. Do I think they probably should have made 00:37:40.789 --> 00:37:42.929 at least one or two, like, really significant 00:37:42.929 --> 00:37:46.250 moves for the offense? Yes, but maybe they're 00:37:46.250 --> 00:37:48.769 probably going to do that in the draft. So, on 00:37:48.769 --> 00:37:52.230 to the NFC East, okay? The Giants. Yeah. No. 00:37:52.369 --> 00:37:57.110 Eagles. Eagles. Eagles first. E -A -G -L -E -S. 00:37:57.349 --> 00:38:03.260 Eagles. B. So they acquired Aziz Ojolari, Josh 00:38:03.260 --> 00:38:07.500 Uche, Adory Jackson, Kalen Granson, Charlie Huglett, 00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:10.400 A .J. Dillon, Harrison Bryant, Patrick Johnson, 00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:12.619 Kendall Lamb, Matt Pryor, and Avery Williams, 00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:15.519 just to name a few. The people that left, Milton 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:18.300 Williams, Josh Sweat, Darius Slay, Isaiah Rogers, 00:38:18.579 --> 00:38:21.260 Oren Burks, Kenneth Gainwell, and Avante Max, 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:23.420 just to name a few. Their positions of need, 00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:26.480 tight end, corner, defensive line, and linebacker. 00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:30.849 So Aziz Ojolari. Really productive pass rusher 00:38:30.849 --> 00:38:33.210 who he just has to stay healthy at this point. 00:38:33.469 --> 00:38:37.230 Josh Uche, very productive pass rusher as well. 00:38:37.369 --> 00:38:40.050 He was productive with the Patriots and then 00:38:40.050 --> 00:38:43.190 also with the Chiefs as well. Adory Jackson, 00:38:43.610 --> 00:38:46.710 he's been okay. I definitely feel like he probably 00:38:46.710 --> 00:38:49.150 could have been a little bit better, but I think 00:38:49.150 --> 00:38:51.929 last season he really didn't have a lot of suitors 00:38:51.929 --> 00:38:53.590 for him, so that's probably why he went back 00:38:53.590 --> 00:38:56.300 to the Giants. So I think that's a pretty good 00:38:56.300 --> 00:38:59.900 cornerback three type of move. Everything else 00:38:59.900 --> 00:39:03.559 is very debatable. But at the same time, the 00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:05.780 Eagles really didn't need a whole lot of stuff. 00:39:06.260 --> 00:39:09.119 So they're in a really good spot, believe it 00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:12.119 or not. And I wouldn't be surprised if they probably 00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:14.619 made one or two significant moves in the draft 00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:17.059 just so they can probably go and get their guy 00:39:17.059 --> 00:39:20.039 and then just trade down from everything else. 00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.940 Because again, the Eagles are still in their 00:39:22.940 --> 00:39:25.389 Super Bowl window. And their selling point is 00:39:25.389 --> 00:39:28.730 this. Come to us. We're still in our Super Bowl 00:39:28.730 --> 00:39:31.309 window. You have a chance of competing and winning. 00:39:33.210 --> 00:39:36.409 That's it. And that's for any Super Bowl team. 00:39:37.010 --> 00:39:39.349 Most players will be willing to take less just 00:39:39.349 --> 00:39:42.030 to be on the team. So the Eagles are not done. 00:39:42.210 --> 00:39:44.690 Trust me. Now we will look at the Giants, okay? 00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.800 Positions of need. Quarterback, receiver, corner, 00:39:48.059 --> 00:39:50.119 interior offensive line, interior defensive line. 00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:52.780 So they acquired Paulson Adebo, Javon Holland, 00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:55.599 Chauncey Golston, James Huston, Russell Wilson, 00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.340 Roy, Robertson Harris, James Winston, Chris Board, 00:39:59.500 --> 00:40:02.820 Jeremiah Ledbetter, Demetrius Flanagan Flowers, 00:40:03.179 --> 00:40:06.469 Zach Pascal, Jordan Humphrey, and then... The 00:40:06.469 --> 00:40:10.570 people that left were Aziz Ojolari, Payson Panak, 00:40:10.670 --> 00:40:12.969 Adory Jackson, Patrick Johnson, Tim Boyle, just 00:40:12.969 --> 00:40:15.309 to name a few. So for them, I gave them a B. 00:40:15.789 --> 00:40:18.829 Because on one hand, yes, they did address a 00:40:18.829 --> 00:40:21.929 corner with Paulson and Debo. Safety, I feel 00:40:21.929 --> 00:40:23.610 like they could have addressed in the draft, 00:40:23.829 --> 00:40:26.800 personally. I feel like going after Javon Holland 00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:29.179 and giving him the money that he got was a little 00:40:29.179 --> 00:40:31.019 bit excessive. I feel like they could have used 00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:33.639 that to get an offensive weapon for whatever 00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:37.039 quarterback was going to be playing for them. 00:40:37.260 --> 00:40:40.360 But what's done is done at this point. Everybody 00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:42.639 else, I feel like they're really good number 00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:46.300 two and maybe number three pieces on the team. 00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:49.340 But all in all, I feel like it was... pretty 00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:54.800 much of a solid first wave of free agent signings 00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:57.380 for the Giants. I think this actually shows that 00:40:57.380 --> 00:40:58.980 they're actually willing to be a little bit more 00:40:58.980 --> 00:41:00.960 aggressive and try to bolster up that defense 00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:03.320 even more because the defense is actually really 00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:05.380 good. I mean, they have Dexter Lawrence. You 00:41:05.380 --> 00:41:06.960 have Kayvon Thibodeau. You have Brian Burns. 00:41:07.420 --> 00:41:10.760 You now have Paulson Adibo. You have Javon Holland 00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:13.820 now. You have some pretty good pieces. Now, Dante 00:41:13.820 --> 00:41:15.599 Banks, I feel like he's definitely going to get 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:18.460 traded just because... I think he's falling out 00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:20.960 of the good graces, but that's another story 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:24.099 for another day. Commanders, B plus, okay? So 00:41:24.099 --> 00:41:27.719 the positions of need, DB, defensive end, wide 00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:30.469 receiver, tight end, D tackle, all right? So 00:41:30.469 --> 00:41:33.170 they acquired Remy Tunsil, Javon Kinlaw, Marcus 00:41:33.170 --> 00:41:38.250 Mariota, Will Harris, Jonathan Jones, Jake Martin, 00:41:38.630 --> 00:41:42.030 Nate Herbig, Eddie Goldman, Foster Sorrell, and 00:41:42.030 --> 00:41:44.869 then the people that left, okay? Jonathan Allen, 00:41:45.090 --> 00:41:48.710 Dayami Brown, Jeremy Chin, Dante Fowler, Cornelius 00:41:48.710 --> 00:41:52.449 Lucas, Benjamin St. Juice, Michael Walker, Alamed 00:41:52.449 --> 00:41:58.159 Zaccheaus, and Derek Forrest. So... On one hand, 00:41:58.199 --> 00:42:00.239 they actually did make some pretty good moves, 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:02.619 okay? Larimi Tunsil, I feel like that was a major 00:42:02.619 --> 00:42:06.099 upgrade at tackle. Javon Killlaw, I feel like 00:42:06.099 --> 00:42:10.320 that was a little bit of a reach. I feel like 00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:13.099 if you're going to go after a quality edge rusher, 00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:15.019 go after somebody that can actually shed blocks 00:42:15.019 --> 00:42:16.820 and is actually pretty good at shedding blocks, 00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:20.940 okay? Just don't go after just the guy that's 00:42:20.940 --> 00:42:23.519 just available, personally. That's just all I'm 00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:25.260 saying, okay? Marcus Mariota, that was actually 00:42:25.260 --> 00:42:27.579 really good. Let's see, let's see, let's see, 00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:29.500 let's see, because I'm going around. Jonathan 00:42:29.500 --> 00:42:33.219 Jones, I really didn't like, only because he's 00:42:33.219 --> 00:42:36.639 at the tail end of his career. You know, I just 00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:39.000 don't feel like you make that type of signing 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:40.679 for someone like him. And then plus, I would 00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:44.119 have just drafted. Even if it means that you 00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:47.039 have to double dip at corner, that's perfectly 00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:50.139 fine. And then even with safety, I would have 00:42:50.139 --> 00:42:52.239 thought that they would have tried to get... 00:42:52.699 --> 00:42:54.659 Jeremy Chin back, but clearly that wasn't the 00:42:54.659 --> 00:42:56.480 case. Or I would have thought they would have 00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:59.920 tried to get, you know, Cam Bynum or Trevon Mohrig 00:42:59.920 --> 00:43:02.699 or any of those safeties that were available 00:43:02.699 --> 00:43:05.780 in free agency, but clearly they didn't. Defensive 00:43:05.780 --> 00:43:07.539 line, I feel like they probably could have done 00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:10.099 more with that. But again, that might be a position 00:43:10.099 --> 00:43:12.780 where they address in the draft as well. Now, 00:43:12.820 --> 00:43:16.340 when we look at the Cowboys, see, and the reason 00:43:16.340 --> 00:43:19.719 why I say that is because for one, they really. 00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:22.539 They really can't make a whole lot of moves because 00:43:22.539 --> 00:43:25.940 they're strapped for cash. And then two, the 00:43:25.940 --> 00:43:28.980 moves that they did make, they are more. death 00:43:28.980 --> 00:43:32.800 pieces and number two pieces than like, you know, 00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.820 starter caliber pieces. Okay. And I'm going to 00:43:35.820 --> 00:43:38.219 explain why. So positions of need, defensive 00:43:38.219 --> 00:43:40.599 tackle, wide receiver, running back, offensive 00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:43.500 line. Okay. So they acquired Solomon Thomas, 00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.539 Dante Fowler Jr., Robert Jones, Javante Williams, 00:43:46.860 --> 00:43:49.380 Peyton Turner, Jack Sanborn. The people that 00:43:49.380 --> 00:43:51.840 left, Demarcus Lawrence, Jordan Lewis, Brandon 00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:55.239 Cooks, Chauncey Golston, Chuma Adoga, Cooper 00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:59.000 Rush, and Rico Dow. Solomon Thomas, not really 00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:03.920 high on, personally. I feel like he's a pretty 00:44:03.920 --> 00:44:08.059 good defensive lineman, but he's not like a number 00:44:08.059 --> 00:44:09.800 one or a number two. I feel like he's probably 00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:12.739 like a number three at best. Dante Fowler, the 00:44:12.739 --> 00:44:14.300 season that he just had, I would have thought 00:44:14.300 --> 00:44:16.420 he would have either stayed with the Commanders 00:44:16.420 --> 00:44:18.179 or would have went somewhere else and actually 00:44:18.179 --> 00:44:21.320 chased the bag low -key, but he didn't. He went 00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:24.159 back to the Cowboys. Why? I don't know. Robert 00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:27.599 Jones. A little bit on the fence about Javante 00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:29.900 Williams. I feel like there is some potential 00:44:29.900 --> 00:44:32.920 with that. I feel like ever since the injury 00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:35.460 that he suffered with the Broncos, I think he's 00:44:35.460 --> 00:44:37.340 still trying to find his footing and finding 00:44:37.340 --> 00:44:41.300 his way back into the other side of the league 00:44:41.300 --> 00:44:44.519 and whatnot because his rookie year, he came 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:49.579 out guns blazing. Payton Turner, same thing, 00:44:49.579 --> 00:44:51.420 a little bit on the fence about. Same thing with 00:44:51.420 --> 00:44:55.110 Jack Sanborn as well. All in all, the Cowboys, 00:44:55.190 --> 00:44:58.789 I feel like they're trying to find a way to pay 00:44:58.789 --> 00:45:01.590 Micah Parsons. And so I think they've shifted 00:45:01.590 --> 00:45:04.849 a lot of their priority on trying to figure out 00:45:04.849 --> 00:45:07.750 a way to handle the Micah situation. But at the 00:45:07.750 --> 00:45:11.050 same time, you want to try to at least make at 00:45:11.050 --> 00:45:14.690 least two big -ish type of moves when it comes 00:45:14.690 --> 00:45:16.929 to free agency. Because you do have a lot of 00:45:16.929 --> 00:45:19.610 holes on your team that do need to be taken care 00:45:19.610 --> 00:45:22.199 of. And the players that you sign right now, 00:45:22.260 --> 00:45:24.800 they really don't do a whole lot of that. Now 00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:27.960 on to the NFC West, okay? So 49ers, I gave them 00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.519 a B. Positions of need, offensive line, defensive 00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:33.099 line, cornerback, linebacker, wide receiver, 00:45:33.260 --> 00:45:35.800 running back, okay? So they acquired Luke Farrell, 00:45:35.860 --> 00:45:38.059 Mack Jones, Demarcus Robertson, Sirian Neal, 00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:41.440 Jason Pinnock, Luke Gifford, Trey Brown, Richie 00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:44.440 Grant, John Weeks. The people that left, Aaron 00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:46.860 Baines, Tarverius Ward, Javon Hargrave, Jalen 00:45:46.860 --> 00:45:49.340 Moore, Talanua Hofunga, Dre Greenlaw, Leonard 00:45:49.340 --> 00:45:53.059 Floyd, Malik Collins, Josh Dobbs, Isaac Yedem, 00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:55.500 Elijah Mitchell, Charlie Heck, Brandon Allen, 00:45:55.659 --> 00:45:58.539 Demetrius Flanagan Flowers, Rakia Sin, Nick McCloud, 00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:03.380 and Eric Serbet. Here's the thing. So Luke Farrell, 00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:07.199 I feel like there was no need for you to sign 00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:09.840 him personally, especially with how good the 00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:12.599 tight end class is. Even if you didn't get a 00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:15.039 tight end in the first round, there's still going 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:17.219 to be some really good options in the day two 00:46:17.219 --> 00:46:19.619 and day three slot for tight end. I think if 00:46:19.619 --> 00:46:21.840 you would have got Harold Fannin Jr. or you would 00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:24.179 have gotten the tight end from Miami. I know 00:46:24.179 --> 00:46:27.000 I keep on messing up his name, but I don't know 00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:31.059 why. Every time I think about him, I draw a blank. 00:46:31.179 --> 00:46:33.360 I don't know why. But you have Colston Lovell. 00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:37.059 You have options at tight end. Now, corner, I 00:46:37.059 --> 00:46:38.519 would have thought they probably would have tried 00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:43.920 to really try to... go after DJ Reed or, well, 00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:47.340 not Charverius Ward, but Carlton Davis or somebody 00:46:47.340 --> 00:46:52.940 else. Wide receiver, I'm a little bit on the 00:46:52.940 --> 00:46:55.579 fence about because on one hand, I feel like 00:46:55.579 --> 00:46:57.380 you could address that in the draft, but at the 00:46:57.380 --> 00:47:00.079 same time, what other receivers could you really 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.480 get in free agency that wasn't going to cost 00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:06.320 you a whole bunch of money? Linebacker, I don't 00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:08.500 know what to say about that personally. Running 00:47:08.500 --> 00:47:12.809 back, I really don't know. Like, honestly, a 00:47:12.809 --> 00:47:15.550 lot of their positions of need, I feel like they 00:47:15.550 --> 00:47:19.030 could definitely address them in the draft. I 00:47:19.030 --> 00:47:21.889 don't feel like they should invest a whole bunch 00:47:21.889 --> 00:47:24.570 of money into, you know, in free agency. And 00:47:24.570 --> 00:47:27.789 it definitely shows. But, you know, the 49ers 00:47:27.789 --> 00:47:30.610 will be the 49ers, I guess. Cardinals, I gave 00:47:30.610 --> 00:47:33.719 them a B+. Now, when we look at their positions 00:47:33.719 --> 00:47:36.039 of knee, wide receiver, interior, offensive line, 00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:38.659 and linebacker, so they acquired Joss Sweat, 00:47:38.659 --> 00:47:41.840 Dalvin Tomlinson, Jacoby Brissett, Akeem Davis 00:47:41.840 --> 00:47:45.340 -Gaither, Mikel Walker, Simi Fajoko, and Jalen 00:47:45.340 --> 00:47:51.840 Jones. Chris Tonga, Naquan Jones, Victor Dumacuji, 00:47:52.019 --> 00:47:57.579 and Zach Pascal. So, well, you know what? On 00:47:57.579 --> 00:47:59.980 one hand, yes, I would say a B +, but I feel 00:47:59.980 --> 00:48:02.679 like a B - because, sure, you threw a lot of 00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:05.880 money at Josh Sweat. David Thomason is a really 00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:08.800 productive defensive lineman. Jacoby Brissett 00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:11.699 is a really good backup quarterback. He's somebody 00:48:11.699 --> 00:48:15.119 that, you know, if you need him to win maybe 00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:16.539 like two or three games, he could definitely 00:48:16.539 --> 00:48:19.019 do it. He's not somebody that can, like, you 00:48:19.019 --> 00:48:21.380 know, carry on the entire season. Just saying. 00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:26.679 Akeem Dase Gaither. Really good backup of a player, 00:48:26.780 --> 00:48:28.579 Mikel Walker, still trying to find his footing 00:48:28.579 --> 00:48:31.420 in the league. Semi Fajoko, those are probably 00:48:31.420 --> 00:48:35.300 like practice bodies for the summer and whatnot. 00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:40.219 So all in all, I feel like the Cardinals, they 00:48:40.219 --> 00:48:42.980 definitely hit with Josh Sweat. Everything else 00:48:42.980 --> 00:48:45.699 is debatable. I think I'll just leave it at that. 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:49.559 Seahawks, C -. And the reason why I say that 00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:53.050 is because... For one, I think the Sam Darnold 00:48:53.050 --> 00:48:55.650 and the Cooper Cup and the D -Law signings, I 00:48:55.650 --> 00:48:57.449 feel like they were definitely reaching. So when 00:48:57.449 --> 00:48:59.050 we look at their positions of need, interior 00:48:59.050 --> 00:49:01.829 offensive line, tight end, cornerback, safety, 00:49:01.949 --> 00:49:05.329 receiver, okay? So they acquired Sam Darnold, 00:49:05.469 --> 00:49:08.090 Cooper Cup, Demarcus Lawrence, Marquez Valdez 00:49:08.090 --> 00:49:10.710 -Scanley, Josh Jones, De 'Anthony Bell, River 00:49:10.710 --> 00:49:15.110 Craft. I know I just put your last name. I'm 00:49:15.110 --> 00:49:18.269 sorry. Shamar Jean Charles, Stephen Sims, Eric 00:49:18.269 --> 00:49:21.289 Serbet. And then the people that left were Draymond 00:49:21.289 --> 00:49:25.050 Jones, Roy Robertson -Harris, Lakin Thomason, 00:49:25.110 --> 00:49:28.070 Trey Brown, Artie Burns, The Legend, Pharrell 00:49:28.070 --> 00:49:32.210 Brown, and Stone Forsythe. The Cooper Cubs signing, 00:49:32.349 --> 00:49:34.110 I really didn't like. I feel like that was a 00:49:34.110 --> 00:49:36.570 definite reach. On one hand, I understand that 00:49:36.570 --> 00:49:39.409 he wants to play for his hometown team and whatnot, 00:49:39.530 --> 00:49:42.429 but I just feel like he's reached because in 00:49:42.429 --> 00:49:44.889 recent years, he has not been able to stay healthy, 00:49:44.969 --> 00:49:48.039 and it definitely shows. And he is somebody that 00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:51.900 is hit or miss, honestly. Demarcus Lawrence, 00:49:52.219 --> 00:49:56.880 again, I feel like that's a miss because he really 00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:59.739 hasn't been as productive lately. You're talking 00:49:59.739 --> 00:50:03.539 about somebody who at one point was definitely 00:50:03.539 --> 00:50:07.760 one of the best pass rushers in the league. And 00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:10.519 lately, he really hasn't lived up to those expectations. 00:50:10.900 --> 00:50:14.519 Even the contract that the Cowboys gave him. 00:50:14.889 --> 00:50:17.210 and whatnot. I still feel like that was a reach 00:50:17.210 --> 00:50:21.510 as well. Now, when we look at Sam Darnold, I 00:50:21.510 --> 00:50:25.309 feel like that was probably a pretty good deal. 00:50:25.650 --> 00:50:28.110 And the only reason why I say that is because 00:50:28.110 --> 00:50:30.969 when you look at the structure of the deal, it's 00:50:30.969 --> 00:50:34.150 essentially a one -year deal. They can let him 00:50:34.150 --> 00:50:37.230 go next season and not face any consequences 00:50:37.230 --> 00:50:39.530 for it. That's probably the only reason why. 00:50:39.670 --> 00:50:42.840 Outside of that, You can debate about everything 00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:45.980 else. Marquez, Velding, Scantling, really good 00:50:45.980 --> 00:50:49.659 veteran receiver. He could be a two or a three 00:50:49.659 --> 00:50:52.119 or anybody else's team. Can definitely provide 00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.460 a lot of insight and mentorship to the receivers 00:50:55.460 --> 00:50:57.940 that are already with the Seahawks. So all in 00:50:57.940 --> 00:51:02.280 all, not really the best, but it's the Seahawks, 00:51:02.300 --> 00:51:06.519 I guess. I just don't understand how you let 00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:11.570 DK Metcalf go. and Tyler Lockett and Geno Smith, 00:51:11.750 --> 00:51:14.650 and then you bring in Cooper Cupp, Marquez Valdez 00:51:14.650 --> 00:51:17.610 -Scantling, and then Dan Darnold. I just don't 00:51:17.610 --> 00:51:21.190 see it personally. Seeing crazier things, okay? 00:51:21.650 --> 00:51:24.409 Rams, A+. So when we look at their positions 00:51:24.409 --> 00:51:27.250 of need, quarterback, wide receiver, tackle, 00:51:27.510 --> 00:51:30.429 linebacker, quarterback, defensive line. All 00:51:30.429 --> 00:51:33.349 right. So they acquired Devontae Adams, Puna 00:51:33.349 --> 00:51:36.590 Four, Coleman Shelton, Nathan Landman. And then 00:51:36.590 --> 00:51:38.889 the people that left Cooper Cup, Bobby Brown, 00:51:39.170 --> 00:51:43.809 Michael Holtz, Demarcus Robinson, Christian Roseboom, 00:51:43.969 --> 00:51:46.690 Hunter Long, Tyler Johnson, Neville Gillimore, 00:51:46.949 --> 00:51:51.170 Jake Hummel and Rashad Weaver. So Devontae Adams, 00:51:51.349 --> 00:51:54.269 I feel like that was an upgrade over Cooper Cup. 00:51:54.750 --> 00:51:57.550 And the reason why I say that is because Devontae 00:51:57.550 --> 00:52:01.230 Adams, even at this point of his career, is still 00:52:01.230 --> 00:52:03.429 a really productive receiver. You're talking 00:52:03.429 --> 00:52:06.670 about somebody that is still a number one receiver. 00:52:06.690 --> 00:52:10.389 Whereas Cooper Cupp, he is somebody that at this 00:52:10.389 --> 00:52:13.969 point is probably a two on a lot of other people's 00:52:13.969 --> 00:52:18.210 teams. Like even when the Rams are going to release 00:52:18.210 --> 00:52:21.230 him, I didn't believe that anybody was going 00:52:21.230 --> 00:52:24.739 to give him. probably well over like 18 or 19 00:52:24.739 --> 00:52:27.320 million a year i did not believe that but the 00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.280 seahawks were willing to write that check so 00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:32.699 that's on them puna ford is a sleeper of a defensive 00:52:32.699 --> 00:52:35.199 lineman he does not get the recognition that 00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:38.059 he probably deserves but puna ford is a really 00:52:38.059 --> 00:52:41.119 productive defensive lineman okay am i saying 00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:44.980 he's in the same conversation as you know a miles 00:52:44.980 --> 00:52:48.519 garrett and chris jones and whatnot no but he's 00:52:48.519 --> 00:52:50.820 probably that second or third tier when it comes 00:52:50.820 --> 00:52:54.309 to defensive linemen Coleman Shelton, really 00:52:54.309 --> 00:52:57.230 good signing. Nathan Landman, really good signing 00:52:57.230 --> 00:53:02.210 as well. All in all, the Rams, they didn't have 00:53:02.210 --> 00:53:05.210 to be as aggressive as what they needed to be. 00:53:05.409 --> 00:53:08.809 I feel like just going after Devontae Adams and 00:53:08.809 --> 00:53:12.869 Puna Ford definitely shored up a lot of things. 00:53:13.110 --> 00:53:15.510 I feel like the other positions could definitely 00:53:15.510 --> 00:53:17.989 be addressed and will be addressed in the draft. 00:53:18.719 --> 00:53:21.579 And maybe even in the second wave of free agency, 00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:24.079 just saying. And when we go to the AFC North, 00:53:24.300 --> 00:53:28.579 okay, Brown, C-, positions of need, quarterback, 00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:32.599 wide receiver, running back, tackle, edge, linebacker, 00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:35.480 okay? So they acquired Malik Collins, Cornelius 00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:38.539 Lucas, Joe Tyron, Tevin Jenkins, DeAndre Carter, 00:53:38.699 --> 00:53:42.099 Jerome Baker. The people that left, Dalvin Thomason, 00:53:42.300 --> 00:53:45.480 Juan Thornhill, James Hudson, Jameis Winston, 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.780 Michael Ford. Charlie Huglett, D 'Anthony Bell, 00:53:49.900 --> 00:53:55.300 Bailey Zappi, and James Prochet. This was just 00:53:55.300 --> 00:53:57.739 not good for the Browns. And granted, I understand 00:53:57.739 --> 00:54:00.380 they have a lot of financial restrictions because 00:54:00.380 --> 00:54:04.300 of Deshaun Watson's contract and whatnot. But 00:54:04.300 --> 00:54:09.699 these aren't upgrades. These are more summer 00:54:09.699 --> 00:54:12.519 and practice squad bodies. And I'm not trying 00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:15.190 to be disrespectful. Like Joe Tyron. Former first 00:54:15.190 --> 00:54:17.590 rounder really didn't live up to the hype or 00:54:17.590 --> 00:54:20.150 the expectations with the Buccaneers. Finds another 00:54:20.150 --> 00:54:23.289 home with the Browns. Tevin Jenkins, he's a pretty 00:54:23.289 --> 00:54:25.530 good offensive lineman. He just hasn't been able 00:54:25.530 --> 00:54:28.030 to stay healthy. That's the one knock against 00:54:28.030 --> 00:54:31.170 him. When he's on the field, he's pretty good. 00:54:31.769 --> 00:54:35.750 But once he starts to get hurt, it's basically 00:54:35.750 --> 00:54:39.739 a lost cause. Jerome Baker. He's definitely floated 00:54:39.739 --> 00:54:42.360 around the league, you know, outside of, you 00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:44.260 know, those really good years with the Dolphins. 00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:46.019 He's basically been, you know, bouncing around 00:54:46.019 --> 00:54:51.360 everywhere. Cornelius Lucas, again, it's not 00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:53.880 something that moves the needle. It's not something 00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:58.039 where it's like, okay, he addresses this primary 00:54:58.039 --> 00:55:00.340 position and we don't have to no longer, you 00:55:00.340 --> 00:55:02.880 know, worry about it. Like, it's not like that. 00:55:03.260 --> 00:55:07.420 So I gave them a C minus. Now the Bengals, I 00:55:07.420 --> 00:55:10.099 would say a D. You know what? No, I'm not going 00:55:10.099 --> 00:55:11.780 to do it. I'm not going to do it. So positions 00:55:11.780 --> 00:55:15.280 of need. Interior, offensive line, edge, linebacker, 00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.739 safety, running back. Okay, so they acquired 00:55:17.739 --> 00:55:21.480 to Daryl Slayton, Oren Berg, Samaji Piran, Lucas 00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:24.500 Patrick. The people that left, Alex Kappa, Sheldon 00:55:24.500 --> 00:55:27.219 Rankins, Akeem Davis Gaither, Trenton Browns, 00:55:27.219 --> 00:55:31.559 and Khalil Herbert, as well as Jay Tuffley. They 00:55:31.559 --> 00:55:33.940 just really didn't do anything. And granted, 00:55:33.940 --> 00:55:36.039 I understand they were trying to, you know, hash 00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:40.170 out deals with. both uh jamar chase and t higgins 00:55:40.170 --> 00:55:44.070 that's perfectly fine but you needed to do more 00:55:44.070 --> 00:55:47.590 you needed to bring in at least a few other people 00:55:47.590 --> 00:55:50.070 and i feel like they didn't do it now granted 00:55:50.070 --> 00:55:52.150 they brought back bj hill but like does that 00:55:52.150 --> 00:55:55.409 move the needle i mean sure a little bit but 00:55:55.409 --> 00:55:58.369 it's nothing significant because right now you've 00:55:58.369 --> 00:56:02.550 allocated at least 50 maybe even more of your 00:56:02.550 --> 00:56:06.690 cap to three players so you have to try to fill 00:56:06.690 --> 00:56:10.030 in every other position on the team with smaller 00:56:10.030 --> 00:56:14.210 contracts. And even with the smaller contracts, 00:56:14.429 --> 00:56:17.530 they have to be productive players, not players 00:56:17.530 --> 00:56:19.369 that are going to be competing for roster spots. 00:56:20.070 --> 00:56:23.949 Now, granted, I understand the Bengals definitely 00:56:23.949 --> 00:56:26.289 wanted to prioritize taking care of their players, 00:56:26.389 --> 00:56:29.340 but... That is not an excuse for trying to upgrade 00:56:29.340 --> 00:56:31.460 certain positions on your team. You know that 00:56:31.460 --> 00:56:34.940 corner is a problem. You know that linebacker 00:56:34.940 --> 00:56:37.179 is still a problem because Jermaine Pratt still 00:56:37.179 --> 00:56:40.320 wants to be traded. You have a lot of positions 00:56:40.320 --> 00:56:43.239 that you need to fill. And there were some veteran 00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:44.679 players that you probably could have brought 00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:48.860 in. But I don't understand why. Maybe it's the 00:56:48.860 --> 00:56:51.579 Bengals being cheap. I don't know. The Ravens. 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:58.159 I probably would say... A C, maybe. All right, 00:56:58.159 --> 00:57:00.119 when we look at their positions of need, interior 00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:03.699 offensive line, cornerback, edge, safety, kicker, 00:57:03.719 --> 00:57:06.260 interior linebacker, I keep on saying interior, 00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:09.239 inside linebacker, excuse me. So they acquired 00:57:09.239 --> 00:57:13.239 Cooper Rush, DeAndre Hopkins, Jake Hummel, and 00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:17.079 Chidobe Woosier. Here is my problem. Well, actually, 00:57:17.139 --> 00:57:20.039 no, it's not really a problem. The Ravens are 00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:22.639 in a situation similar to the Eagles where they're 00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:25.820 still in their Super Bowl window. So honestly 00:57:25.820 --> 00:57:29.039 speaking, they don't have to make a whole lot 00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:31.139 of moves. They're not in a rush where it's like, 00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:34.199 oh, we have to get this person. Oh, we have to 00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:36.599 get that person. Oh, we have to do this or we 00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:39.840 have to do that. Not really. They can just sit 00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:42.280 because players are going to want to play for 00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:44.820 the Ravens. We see it every single time. Same 00:57:44.820 --> 00:57:46.739 thing with the Eagles. Same thing with the Bills. 00:57:46.900 --> 00:57:49.329 Same thing with the Chiefs. OK, everybody's going 00:57:49.329 --> 00:57:51.130 to want to play for one of those teams because 00:57:51.130 --> 00:57:53.309 all those teams are still Super Bowl caliber 00:57:53.309 --> 00:57:57.429 teams. Not to mention the Ravens have had somewhat 00:57:57.429 --> 00:58:00.570 of like financial struggles. So they're still 00:58:00.570 --> 00:58:03.429 trying to, you know, give people extensions and 00:58:03.429 --> 00:58:06.489 figure things out from from a salary cap standpoint. 00:58:06.489 --> 00:58:09.050 So that's probably why they've been a little 00:58:09.050 --> 00:58:12.429 bit quiet when it came to the first wave of free 00:58:12.429 --> 00:58:15.219 agency. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be 00:58:15.219 --> 00:58:17.179 a little bit more aggressive in that second and 00:58:17.179 --> 00:58:20.699 third wave of free agency. Now, when we look 00:58:20.699 --> 00:58:23.619 at the Steelers, I wanted to give them a C -. 00:58:24.860 --> 00:58:27.460 Well, I want to give them a C-, but I also want 00:58:27.460 --> 00:58:29.440 to give them a B, but I feel like a C - would 00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:32.460 definitely do. Positions of need, cornerback, 00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:34.880 defensive tackle, running back, quarterback, 00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:38.719 tackle. So they acquired DK Metcalf, Malik Harrison, 00:58:38.900 --> 00:58:41.440 Darius Slay, Mason Rudolph, Brandon Echols, Juan 00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:47.679 Thornhill, Kenneth Gainwell, and Eze Otunwahu. 00:58:48.639 --> 00:58:51.239 I think I just butchered your name. I am so sorry, 00:58:51.280 --> 00:58:54.079 sir. The people that left, Dan Moore, Justin 00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:56.420 Fields, Russell Wilson, James Daniels, Larry 00:58:56.420 --> 00:58:59.059 Ogunjobi, Dante Jackson, Najee Harrison, Landon 00:58:59.059 --> 00:59:01.599 Roberts, Mike Williams, Van Jefferson, Nate Herbig, 00:59:01.719 --> 00:59:05.880 and Kyle Allen, just to name a few. DK Metcalf, 00:59:06.059 --> 00:59:08.179 that was definitely an upgrade. Malik Harrison 00:59:08.179 --> 00:59:10.900 did not like that move. And I will continue to 00:59:10.900 --> 00:59:13.840 say I didn't like that move because you could 00:59:13.840 --> 00:59:17.400 have gotten a Landon Roberts for probably around 00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:19.699 the same amount of money that he signed with 00:59:19.699 --> 00:59:23.219 the Raiders. But instead, you tried to kill two 00:59:23.219 --> 00:59:25.400 birds with one stone and get with somebody who 00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:28.860 has special teams experience, but he doesn't 00:59:28.860 --> 00:59:31.300 do the things that a Landon Roberts was able 00:59:31.300 --> 00:59:34.969 to do. Landon Roberts said he wanted to retire 00:59:34.969 --> 00:59:38.349 as a Steeler and you did not fulfill that wish. 00:59:38.489 --> 00:59:42.349 Why? I don't know. Darius Slay, I feel like that's 00:59:42.349 --> 00:59:46.190 a good of an upgrade over Dante Jackson personally 00:59:46.190 --> 00:59:49.130 because Darius Slay was still playing fairly 00:59:49.130 --> 00:59:52.530 well with the Eagles last season. And I think 00:59:52.530 --> 00:59:55.449 he would be a really good mentor role for people 00:59:55.449 --> 00:59:59.570 like Joey Porter Jr. And what's his name? What's 00:59:59.570 --> 01:00:02.500 his name? Corey Trice as well. Mason Rudolph, 01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:04.880 I feel like that was pretty good as well, especially 01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:08.119 with all the controversy going on with Aaron 01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:10.760 Rodgers and whatnot. Brandon Echols, really good 01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:14.559 slot option for them. Could be competition for 01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:18.659 Beanie Bishop. Hill, safety number three. Kenneth 01:00:18.659 --> 01:00:21.840 Gainwell, running back three slash special teams. 01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:28.460 Ezzie, on some wow. I just feel like that's like 01:00:28.460 --> 01:00:31.630 more of a death piece, honestly. That's probably 01:00:31.630 --> 01:00:34.510 it. Now let's go to the AFC South. Oh man, we 01:00:34.510 --> 01:00:35.849 still got a whole lot. And then we still got 01:00:35.849 --> 01:00:39.050 the Divisional Rodeo. Man, oh man, you guys are 01:00:39.050 --> 01:00:41.809 getting a loaded episode today. All right, so 01:00:41.809 --> 01:00:46.650 let's get to the AFC South. All right, so Titans. 01:00:47.420 --> 01:00:49.760 So when we look at their positions of need, quarterback, 01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:52.679 wide receiver, edge, safety, and kicker. So they 01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:55.199 acquired Dan Moore, Cody Barton, Kevin Zeitler, 01:00:55.320 --> 01:00:58.400 Draymond Jones, Xavier Woods, Sebastian Joseph 01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:01.460 Day, Van Jefferson, Brandon Allen, Lorenzo Carter, 01:01:01.679 --> 01:01:04.280 Johnny Hecker, Blake Lance, Tim Boyle, James 01:01:04.280 --> 01:01:08.059 Prochet, and Joey Sly. I think I pronounced your 01:01:08.059 --> 01:01:10.679 name wrong. I'm sorry. People that left, Harold 01:01:10.679 --> 01:01:13.900 Landry, Mason Rudolph, Nick Westbrook, Luke Gifford, 01:01:14.019 --> 01:01:17.260 Ryan Stonehouse, Jack Gibbons, Jadovia Woozie, 01:01:17.380 --> 01:01:22.539 Jerome Baker, and Dylan Runce. So Dan Moore was 01:01:22.539 --> 01:01:26.239 pretty good. Maybe a little bit of an overpay, 01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:30.280 just a little bit, but only time will tell. Cody 01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:32.659 Barton, I feel like was pretty productive. Kevin 01:01:32.659 --> 01:01:35.139 Zeiler, I feel like that's an upgrade. Draymond 01:01:35.139 --> 01:01:39.940 Jones, debatable. Xavier Woods. productive. Sebastian 01:01:39.940 --> 01:01:42.360 Joseph Day, I feel like is really productive 01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:45.179 on the defensive line. Van Jefferson, wide receiver 01:01:45.179 --> 01:01:49.500 three option. Lorenzo Carter, pass rush three 01:01:49.500 --> 01:01:52.739 option at this point. Everything else is really 01:01:52.739 --> 01:01:56.929 debatable. On to the Jaguars. I gave them a B, 01:01:57.170 --> 01:01:59.429 but I was a little bit hesitant to give them 01:01:59.429 --> 01:02:02.190 this B. Positions of need, interior offensive 01:02:02.190 --> 01:02:05.710 line, tight end, wide receiver, DB, running back, 01:02:05.769 --> 01:02:08.869 and defensive line. They acquired Patrick McCurry, 01:02:08.989 --> 01:02:12.369 Jordan Lewis, Robert Hainsey, Eric Murray, Dayami 01:02:12.369 --> 01:02:15.989 Brown, Chuma Adoga, Johnny Munt, Hunter Long, 01:02:16.230 --> 01:02:18.449 Nick Mullins, and Fred Johnson. The people that 01:02:18.449 --> 01:02:21.690 left, Evan Ingram, Andre Sisco, Luke Farrell, 01:02:21.769 --> 01:02:24.210 Mack Jones, Ronald Darby, Tim Jones, Jeremiah 01:02:24.210 --> 01:02:29.550 Ledbetter, Devin Duvernay, Blake Hintz, Ezi Oltemwalu, 01:02:29.750 --> 01:02:34.369 and Josh Reynolds. So Patrick McCurry was a little 01:02:34.369 --> 01:02:36.369 bit of a reach. And I only say that because, 01:02:36.369 --> 01:02:42.150 sure, he probably has versatility. But, I mean, 01:02:42.230 --> 01:02:44.050 you're just paying for his versatility. That's 01:02:44.050 --> 01:02:45.429 all you're paying for. You're not paying for 01:02:45.429 --> 01:02:48.510 anything else at this point. And if that's the 01:02:48.510 --> 01:02:50.849 case, well, then fine. You justified that deal. 01:02:51.210 --> 01:02:54.199 Jordan Lewis. For you to reset the nickel corner 01:02:54.199 --> 01:02:58.440 market for him, I probably wouldn't have done 01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:01.780 that personally. I just feel like personally, 01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:06.960 Jordan Lewis, I mean, he's a productive nickel 01:03:06.960 --> 01:03:09.079 corner, but he's not somebody where it's like, 01:03:09.179 --> 01:03:11.679 oh, we have to reset the nickel corner market 01:03:11.679 --> 01:03:16.960 for him. Just no. Eric Murray, pretty good signing. 01:03:17.179 --> 01:03:20.239 Dayami Brown, only time will tell. A lot of these 01:03:20.239 --> 01:03:24.420 signings are, you know, wait and see type of 01:03:24.420 --> 01:03:26.719 signings, honestly. Patrick McCurry, I feel like 01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:30.719 it was solid -ish, but we have to see where is 01:03:30.719 --> 01:03:32.579 he going to be placed at at this point because 01:03:32.579 --> 01:03:35.139 he can play any position on the offensive line, 01:03:35.239 --> 01:03:37.400 but there are certain positions that he's better 01:03:37.400 --> 01:03:42.369 at than others. Texans, C -plus. All right, when 01:03:42.369 --> 01:03:44.510 we look at their positions of need, offensive 01:03:44.510 --> 01:03:47.750 line, wide receiver, and D -tackle. So they acquired 01:03:47.750 --> 01:03:50.329 Christian Kirk, Cam Robinson, Tremont Smith, 01:03:50.650 --> 01:03:53.469 Nick Neiman, Sheldon Rankins, Justin Watson, 01:03:53.710 --> 01:03:55.730 Daryl Taylor, Lakin Thomason, Trenton Brown, 01:03:55.929 --> 01:03:58.769 Ronald Darby, Braxton Berrios, and Casey Tuhill. 01:03:58.969 --> 01:04:01.849 The people that left, I know it was Laramie Tunsell, 01:04:02.070 --> 01:04:04.750 it was Kendrick Green, and I know it was a few 01:04:04.750 --> 01:04:08.889 others, if I'm not mistaken. I just drew a blank 01:04:08.889 --> 01:04:11.949 for a moment. But with them... Ken Robinson was 01:04:11.949 --> 01:04:15.570 a reach. Ken Robinson did not play that well 01:04:15.570 --> 01:04:19.409 when he was with the Vikings. OK, I feel like 01:04:19.409 --> 01:04:21.650 if that's supposed to be the replacement for 01:04:21.650 --> 01:04:23.929 the Remy Tunsil, I feel like that's a that's 01:04:23.929 --> 01:04:26.769 a downgrade. That's not an upgrade. And at best, 01:04:26.789 --> 01:04:29.110 I would have said just trade up. Well, I mean, 01:04:29.110 --> 01:04:31.789 not trade up, but draft somebody. But we'll we'll 01:04:31.789 --> 01:04:33.329 we'll talk about that when we get into the division 01:04:33.329 --> 01:04:36.150 rodeo. OK, Christian Kirk, I feel like that was 01:04:36.150 --> 01:04:39.690 definitely a really good signing. Especially 01:04:39.690 --> 01:04:41.610 when it comes to what they had to give up to 01:04:41.610 --> 01:04:43.630 get him, which really wasn't a lot. I feel like 01:04:43.630 --> 01:04:47.309 that was pretty good. Everything else is debatable. 01:04:47.530 --> 01:04:49.590 You know what I mean? Sheldon Rankins, really 01:04:49.590 --> 01:04:52.329 good signing. Lakin Thomason, veteran guard, 01:04:52.570 --> 01:04:55.849 really good. Ronald Darby, really good veteran 01:04:55.849 --> 01:04:59.789 corner as well. Everybody else, like I just said, 01:04:59.929 --> 01:05:05.130 is more practice -deaf, summer camp body, fighting 01:05:05.130 --> 01:05:09.199 for the roster spot. Colts. Positions of need, 01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:12.380 DB, defensive line, offensive line, tight end, 01:05:12.460 --> 01:05:15.599 linebacker, edge. So they acquired Cameron Bynum, 01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:18.099 Charverius Ward, Daniel Jones, Corey Ballantyne, 01:05:18.199 --> 01:05:21.559 Herbert, and Neville Gallimore. The people that 01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:27.619 left, Will Fries, Dale Odeonbo, I think I just 01:05:27.619 --> 01:05:31.000 put your last name, I'm sorry, Ryan Kelly, Kylan 01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:35.530 Granson, and Grant Stort. God, you guys got some 01:05:35.530 --> 01:05:37.710 weird last names. I know I got a weird name, 01:05:37.769 --> 01:05:41.030 but like, man, these are weird. So for them, 01:05:41.110 --> 01:05:44.250 I wanted to give them a B plus. And I was a little 01:05:44.250 --> 01:05:46.429 bit on the fence about it. And I'll explain why. 01:05:46.550 --> 01:05:49.050 So Cameron Bynum and Charverius Ward, really 01:05:49.050 --> 01:05:52.670 good signings. OK, Charverius Ward, wide receiver 01:05:52.670 --> 01:05:56.429 one. Cameron Bynum, really good safety as well. 01:05:57.269 --> 01:05:59.570 Daniel Jones, that's competition for Anthony 01:05:59.570 --> 01:06:01.230 Richardson. We'll get more in depth about that 01:06:01.230 --> 01:06:04.250 when we get to the divisional rodeo. Corey Ballantyne, 01:06:04.250 --> 01:06:06.949 if you want to argue with it, argue with it. 01:06:06.969 --> 01:06:08.750 Don't really care. Khalil Herbert, I feel like 01:06:08.750 --> 01:06:11.389 that was a good signing as well. Neville Gallimore, 01:06:11.510 --> 01:06:14.030 I feel like that was a pretty good signing as 01:06:14.030 --> 01:06:19.579 well. So all in all. They're two big market signings 01:06:19.579 --> 01:06:22.039 where Cameron Bynum and Charverius Ward were 01:06:22.039 --> 01:06:25.420 actually really good. You get two really good 01:06:25.420 --> 01:06:29.809 productive DBs. which is actually one of the 01:06:29.809 --> 01:06:32.329 things that the Colts actually really need. Everything 01:06:32.329 --> 01:06:35.949 else, I feel like they'll probably address it 01:06:35.949 --> 01:06:38.989 in the draft, honestly speaking. I feel like 01:06:38.989 --> 01:06:42.110 they're in a state where enough draft picks where 01:06:42.110 --> 01:06:45.030 they can address all the other positions. On 01:06:45.030 --> 01:06:49.110 to the AFC East, okay? Let's see. Where are we 01:06:49.110 --> 01:06:53.949 at? Patriots, A+. This one is a lot. Positions 01:06:53.949 --> 01:06:56.869 of need. Offensive line, edge, corner, wide receiver, 01:06:57.110 --> 01:06:59.110 tight end, linebacker, running back, safety, 01:06:59.250 --> 01:07:03.250 DT. They acquired Milton Williams, Carlton Davis, 01:07:03.469 --> 01:07:05.690 Harold Landry, Stephon Diggs, Robert Spillane, 01:07:05.750 --> 01:07:08.989 Morgan Moses, Garrett Bradbury, Matt Collins, 01:07:09.250 --> 01:07:12.329 Josh Dobbs, Marcus Epps. Wait a minute. Oh, no. 01:07:12.409 --> 01:07:14.969 Oh, wait, I'm forgetting. Klaviyan, Chaseyon, 01:07:15.329 --> 01:07:19.949 Chris Tonga, Wes Schweitzer, and Jack Gibbons. 01:07:19.949 --> 01:07:22.690 So the people that left, Jacoby Brissett, Jonathan 01:07:22.690 --> 01:07:27.829 Jones, DeAndre Wise, and Joey Sly. So Milton 01:07:27.829 --> 01:07:32.010 Williams, a little bit on the fence about only 01:07:32.010 --> 01:07:34.690 because he really didn't play as much. But at 01:07:34.690 --> 01:07:36.989 the same time, when he was on the field, what 01:07:36.989 --> 01:07:40.090 was he doing? Making plays. Carlton Davis, that 01:07:40.090 --> 01:07:43.849 was a really good signing. You didn't overreach 01:07:43.849 --> 01:07:48.469 to seal the deal, but at the same time, you gave 01:07:48.469 --> 01:07:50.530 him a pretty good deal. And I think that's all 01:07:50.530 --> 01:07:52.710 that matters. Stephon Diggs, that was a really 01:07:52.710 --> 01:07:55.329 good signing. Wide receiver one. Okay, Robert 01:07:55.329 --> 01:07:57.849 Spillane, really productive tackling machine 01:07:57.849 --> 01:08:01.059 of a linebacker. Okay. He played with the Raiders, 01:08:01.099 --> 01:08:03.320 and he played fairly well with the Steelers as 01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:08.659 well. So Morgan Moses, you have a backup veteran 01:08:08.659 --> 01:08:12.900 tackle at best. Honestly, somewhat of an iron 01:08:12.900 --> 01:08:17.819 man. Gary Bradbury, that was an upgrade as well 01:08:17.819 --> 01:08:21.420 when it comes to guard. Mack Hollins, definitely 01:08:21.420 --> 01:08:23.939 of a sleeper of a signing. And the reason why 01:08:23.939 --> 01:08:26.680 I say that is because Mack Hollins doesn't get 01:08:26.680 --> 01:08:29.520 talked about as much. But when you need him to 01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:32.039 make a play, he is the guy to make a play. Sure, 01:08:32.180 --> 01:08:33.899 he might be a little bit weird with all of his 01:08:33.899 --> 01:08:36.180 superstitions and everything and whatnot. And 01:08:36.180 --> 01:08:39.180 sure, he doesn't wear shoes when he's going to 01:08:39.180 --> 01:08:41.640 the games and whatnot. But the fact of the matter 01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:45.180 is, this guy makes plays. This guy is a baller. 01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:48.300 Josh Dobbs, really good backup quarterback option. 01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:51.800 Marcus Epps, that was a good signing as well 01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:55.180 when it comes to safety. Everything else. is 01:08:55.180 --> 01:08:58.159 more, you know, summertime signings. Nothing 01:08:58.159 --> 01:09:01.680 is, you know, written in stone and whatnot. The 01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:04.899 Jets, I gave them a C, okay? So positions of 01:09:04.899 --> 01:09:09.000 need. Quarterback, tackle, outside linebacker, 01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:11.859 corner, tight end, safety. Defensive tackle. 01:09:12.039 --> 01:09:14.659 So they acquired Justin Fields, Brandon Steffens, 01:09:14.699 --> 01:09:18.079 Andre Sisco, Josh Myers, Chris Boyd, Derek Nandi, 01:09:18.300 --> 01:09:22.760 Brian Colward, Stone Smart, Tyra Johnson, Rashad 01:09:22.760 --> 01:09:26.199 Weaver, Jay Tuffley, and Josh Reynolds. So the 01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:28.159 people that left, Aaron Rodgers, Devontae Adams, 01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:32.359 DJ Reed, so far. So the only reason why I gave 01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:37.180 them a C is because, for one, Justin Fields, 01:09:37.399 --> 01:09:40.359 I don't feel like that really was an upgrade. 01:09:40.909 --> 01:09:43.949 I feel like that was somewhat of a stagnant move. 01:09:44.430 --> 01:09:47.409 And the reason why I say that is because we only 01:09:47.409 --> 01:09:50.529 saw him play for six games. And you paid him 01:09:50.529 --> 01:09:53.050 the amount that you paid him like he basically 01:09:53.050 --> 01:09:56.350 played an entire season. Not to mention, how 01:09:56.350 --> 01:09:59.430 is he going to work in this Jets offense? Because 01:09:59.430 --> 01:10:02.899 the offensive coordinator comes from... uh what's 01:10:02.899 --> 01:10:05.220 the dude what what's the what's the head coach 01:10:05.220 --> 01:10:08.300 for the bears him i forgot his name i just drew 01:10:08.300 --> 01:10:10.539 a blank but how was that how was that going to 01:10:10.539 --> 01:10:12.960 work with justin fields that i don't know brandon 01:10:12.960 --> 01:10:15.979 stephens that was a reach brandon stephens andre 01:10:15.979 --> 01:10:20.920 cisco is a really good well not i want to say 01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:24.239 really good but he's a good safety okay he's 01:10:24.239 --> 01:10:28.550 a good you know backup safety at best Everybody 01:10:28.550 --> 01:10:31.590 else is a little bit, you know, debatable. Derek 01:10:31.590 --> 01:10:34.810 Nnamdi, I mean, he was on those Super Bowl Chiefs 01:10:34.810 --> 01:10:38.270 teams. That's really it. Everything else is, 01:10:38.390 --> 01:10:40.710 you know, up in the air at this point. Bills, 01:10:40.810 --> 01:10:46.470 C+. And the only reason why is because they really 01:10:46.470 --> 01:10:48.729 haven't been active in free agency because they've 01:10:48.729 --> 01:10:50.390 been trying to take care of, like, you know, 01:10:50.390 --> 01:10:52.430 all of their current players, which I don't blame 01:10:52.430 --> 01:10:54.229 them for. So that's probably why their grade 01:10:54.229 --> 01:10:56.890 is so low. But when we look at their positions 01:10:56.890 --> 01:11:02.210 of need, cornerback, interior defensive line, 01:11:02.409 --> 01:11:04.930 safety, wide receiver, and running back. So they 01:11:04.930 --> 01:11:08.789 got Joey Bosa, Josh Palmer, Michael. Hoach, Larry 01:11:08.789 --> 01:11:12.729 Ogunjobi, Dane Jackson, Derek Forrest, Darrington 01:11:12.729 --> 01:11:15.329 Evans, and Kendrick Green. Joey Bosa, I feel 01:11:15.329 --> 01:11:18.310 like that was a reach because Joey Bosa has not 01:11:18.310 --> 01:11:20.590 been able to really stay healthy, and he has 01:11:20.590 --> 01:11:23.489 not been very productive in the last maybe three 01:11:23.489 --> 01:11:26.210 years. Josh Palmer, I do feel like that was a 01:11:26.210 --> 01:11:28.470 really good signing. I feel like that's wide 01:11:28.470 --> 01:11:31.090 receiver two right there, or maybe wide receiver 01:11:31.090 --> 01:11:32.770 three, depending on how big one has been and 01:11:32.770 --> 01:11:35.390 whatnot. Larry Ogunjobi is a rotational defensive 01:11:35.390 --> 01:11:38.130 lineman at this point. He is not somebody that 01:11:38.130 --> 01:11:40.090 you can rely on. He is not somebody that's going 01:11:40.090 --> 01:11:42.649 to give you five to eight sacks. He is somebody 01:11:42.649 --> 01:11:45.409 that, you know, if somebody gets hurt, you can 01:11:45.409 --> 01:11:47.729 definitely plug them in. Kendrick Green, that's 01:11:47.729 --> 01:11:50.989 a summer body at this point. Dane Jackson, debatable. 01:11:51.630 --> 01:11:55.060 Very debatable at this point. Yeah, I feel like 01:11:55.060 --> 01:11:57.560 any of the other positions that they did not 01:11:57.560 --> 01:12:00.319 address in this first wave of free agency will 01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:02.699 definitely be addressed either in the draft or 01:12:02.699 --> 01:12:05.880 in that second to third wave of free agency because 01:12:05.880 --> 01:12:07.600 people still want to play for the Bills because 01:12:07.600 --> 01:12:10.359 the Bills are still in a really good spot. Now, 01:12:10.380 --> 01:12:14.079 on to the AFC West, all right? So the Raiders 01:12:14.079 --> 01:12:17.199 gave them a B, all right? Positions of need, 01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:20.739 quarterback, wide receiver, DB. running back, 01:12:20.899 --> 01:12:23.779 linebacker. So they acquired Jeremy Chin, Alex 01:12:23.779 --> 01:12:26.819 Kappa, Eric Stokes, Alandon Roberts, Lonnie Johnson, 01:12:27.060 --> 01:12:30.800 Raheem Mostert, Ian Thomas, Leke Fultu, Devin 01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:34.119 White, and Geno Smith. So my takeaway from this 01:12:34.119 --> 01:12:37.319 was the Raiders, for one, prioritize quarterback 01:12:37.319 --> 01:12:40.640 by getting Geno Smith, which was which was really 01:12:40.640 --> 01:12:43.000 good. Then you go and you get Jeremy Chin and 01:12:43.000 --> 01:12:45.060 then you get Alex Capital. Like you're bringing 01:12:45.060 --> 01:12:47.579 in some veterans, some really good, productive 01:12:47.579 --> 01:12:50.159 veteran players, which is really good. Not to 01:12:50.159 --> 01:12:51.779 mention you're not paying them a whole lot of 01:12:51.779 --> 01:12:54.619 money, which is actually really good, too. So 01:12:54.619 --> 01:12:57.600 I think Landon Roberts provide provides that, 01:12:57.659 --> 01:13:00.739 you know, that mentorship role for the younger 01:13:00.739 --> 01:13:04.199 linebackers. And I think pairing him with Devin 01:13:04.199 --> 01:13:07.060 White would actually be really good because Landon 01:13:07.060 --> 01:13:09.319 is the thumper. And I think Devin White still 01:13:09.319 --> 01:13:12.000 has some athleticism to where he can, you know, 01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:14.500 play really good in coverage. Raheem Mostert 01:13:14.500 --> 01:13:16.880 is still a really, really productive running 01:13:16.880 --> 01:13:18.659 back. I mean, he can still probably give you, 01:13:18.680 --> 01:13:21.260 you know, a thousand rushing yards season. And 01:13:21.260 --> 01:13:23.939 I think that is really needed, especially with 01:13:23.939 --> 01:13:27.659 the Pete Carroll system. So I think pairing him 01:13:27.659 --> 01:13:29.380 with maybe like a younger running back would 01:13:29.380 --> 01:13:34.270 definitely, you know. do some damage. But all 01:13:34.270 --> 01:13:36.430 in all, I think they had a really solid free 01:13:36.430 --> 01:13:40.869 agent first wave. I do. I think the most important 01:13:40.869 --> 01:13:44.250 thing was them getting Geno Smith because they 01:13:44.250 --> 01:13:45.949 were in a position where they couldn't go and 01:13:45.949 --> 01:13:49.310 get either Cam Ward or Sador Sanders. They knew 01:13:49.310 --> 01:13:51.630 that. So what's the best thing to do? Get Geno 01:13:51.630 --> 01:13:54.569 Smith because why? Geno Smith had his best years 01:13:54.569 --> 01:13:57.649 under who? Pete Carroll. Looking at the Broncos. 01:13:57.789 --> 01:14:00.229 Now this one was difficult because I wanted to 01:14:00.229 --> 01:14:04.029 give them an A, but I feel like a B plus is like, 01:14:04.170 --> 01:14:06.689 it's just there. It's like, it's just right. 01:14:06.829 --> 01:14:09.560 I don't know. You let me know. So, positions 01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:12.380 of need. Defensive line, tight end, running back, 01:14:12.539 --> 01:14:15.880 receiver, and inside linebacker. So, they got 01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:19.220 Tolenoa Hufunga, Dre Greenlaw, Evan Ingram, Trent 01:14:19.220 --> 01:14:21.899 Shurfield, okay? And then the people that left, 01:14:22.060 --> 01:14:24.619 Cody Barton, Zach Wilson, Tremont Smith, Javonte 01:14:24.619 --> 01:14:26.979 Williams, Riley Dixon, and LaJordan Humphrey. 01:14:27.039 --> 01:14:32.260 So, Tolenoa Hufunga. That was a steal. Between 01:14:32.260 --> 01:14:35.859 that and Dre Greenlaw, those were steal signings 01:14:35.859 --> 01:14:39.479 because you have two really good players in their 01:14:39.479 --> 01:14:42.659 positions, okay? Dre Greenlaw was doing his thing. 01:14:42.779 --> 01:14:45.079 Him and Fred Warner, that was a deadly combination, 01:14:45.340 --> 01:14:48.840 okay? Talanoa Hafunga is a rising star of a safety. 01:14:49.039 --> 01:14:51.920 He is going to continue to get better and better 01:14:51.920 --> 01:14:55.960 as his career progresses. Evan Ingram, I think 01:14:55.960 --> 01:14:58.880 that was a sleeper of a signing as well. For 01:14:58.880 --> 01:15:02.199 the Jaguars to cut him and then he go to the 01:15:02.199 --> 01:15:04.380 Broncos, I think that's really good. I think 01:15:04.380 --> 01:15:07.979 that automatically eliminates tight end from 01:15:07.979 --> 01:15:10.220 a need when it comes to a drafting standpoint. 01:15:10.939 --> 01:15:13.319 Running back, I feel like they'll definitely 01:15:13.319 --> 01:15:16.899 address that in the draft for sure. Inside linebacker, 01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:19.479 you could add somebody else if you want to, but 01:15:19.479 --> 01:15:21.579 I feel like Dre Greenlaw and then Alex Singleton, 01:15:21.739 --> 01:15:24.800 I think that's more than enough. Defensive line, 01:15:25.039 --> 01:15:26.500 I feel like they'll definitely address that in 01:15:26.500 --> 01:15:29.310 the draft as well because I feel like they probably 01:15:29.310 --> 01:15:33.670 wasn't going to pay. 18 to maybe 25 million for 01:15:33.670 --> 01:15:35.430 a defensive lineman. I just feel like they wasn't 01:15:35.430 --> 01:15:38.649 going to do that. Chargers, B plus. So their 01:15:38.649 --> 01:15:41.289 positions of need, wide receiver, edge, defensive 01:15:41.289 --> 01:15:43.949 line, corner, tight end, interior offensive line, 01:15:44.189 --> 01:15:46.449 linebacker, running back. Okay, so they acquired 01:15:46.449 --> 01:15:49.630 Mekhi Becton, Dante Jackson, Najee Harris, Mike 01:15:49.630 --> 01:15:51.810 Williams, Tyler Conklin, Benjamin St. Juice, 01:15:51.989 --> 01:15:55.409 Deshaun Hand, Delshaun Phillips, Naquan Jones, 01:15:55.710 --> 01:15:58.550 and Andre James. The people that left, Joey Bosa, 01:15:58.649 --> 01:16:01.720 Christian Fultz, and Josh Palmer. Puna Ford, 01:16:01.960 --> 01:16:05.619 Nick Neiman, Morgan Fox, Sammy Fajoko, Stone 01:16:05.619 --> 01:16:11.920 Smart, and Foster Sorrell. So, Makai Becton, 01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:13.939 a little bit on the fence about. And the only 01:16:13.939 --> 01:16:17.939 reason why I say that is because if Makai Becton 01:16:17.939 --> 01:16:21.300 had did what he did for like maybe two or three 01:16:21.300 --> 01:16:23.739 years, then I would say that that's a good sign, 01:16:23.880 --> 01:16:27.260 right? But it was only just one year. And we 01:16:27.260 --> 01:16:29.560 don't know if he will be able to continue to 01:16:29.560 --> 01:16:31.979 do what he did with the Eagles as he's going 01:16:31.979 --> 01:16:34.319 to do with the Chargers. We don't know. He's 01:16:34.319 --> 01:16:37.039 still a question mark in my mind. Dante Jackson, 01:16:37.300 --> 01:16:41.199 I feel like, was a pretty good signing. It's 01:16:41.199 --> 01:16:43.859 just... Towards the end of the season, he just 01:16:43.859 --> 01:16:45.699 wasn't able to stay healthy because he was having 01:16:45.699 --> 01:16:48.399 back problems. Najee Harris, I feel like that 01:16:48.399 --> 01:16:52.399 was a solid running back signing. He's the bell 01:16:52.399 --> 01:16:55.779 cow that I think Jim Harbaugh really wants. And 01:16:55.779 --> 01:16:59.100 so I feel like putting him behind this offensive 01:16:59.100 --> 01:17:04.079 line, they are going to wreck shop. You are putting 01:17:04.079 --> 01:17:08.560 20, not 24, that shows you how old I am. You 01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:12.689 are putting new tracks on a tank. That's what 01:17:12.689 --> 01:17:16.229 it is. Mike Williams, love the reunions. I think 01:17:16.229 --> 01:17:20.270 Mike Williams along with, who's the receiver? 01:17:20.390 --> 01:17:22.829 Who's the receiver? Ladd McConkie. I knew it. 01:17:22.909 --> 01:17:25.670 Ladd McConkie and Mike Williams, I think that's 01:17:25.670 --> 01:17:28.449 pretty good. I think they still need to add maybe 01:17:28.449 --> 01:17:30.729 one or two more receivers personally because 01:17:30.729 --> 01:17:33.649 I think Quentin Johnson is not going to be staying 01:17:33.649 --> 01:17:37.430 with the Chargers anytime soon. Tyler Conklin, 01:17:37.630 --> 01:17:41.170 he's a pretty good productive tight end. And 01:17:41.170 --> 01:17:43.210 I'll just leave it there, honestly. Benjamin 01:17:43.210 --> 01:17:45.229 St. Juiced, I feel like that was not a really 01:17:45.229 --> 01:17:49.510 good signing. He got smoked by George Pinkins 01:17:49.510 --> 01:17:56.619 last season. But I remember that game. Somebody 01:17:56.619 --> 01:17:58.920 picked off George Pickens. And instead of him 01:17:58.920 --> 01:18:01.140 going for the tackle, he went straight for Benjamin 01:18:01.140 --> 01:18:03.920 St. Juice. That was hilarious. Back to everything 01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:06.520 else. All in all, I do feel like the Chargers 01:18:06.520 --> 01:18:08.760 definitely made some upgrades at certain positions. 01:18:09.340 --> 01:18:12.119 And, you know, all the other signings are just, 01:18:12.119 --> 01:18:14.739 you know, wait and see. Now on to the Chiefs, 01:18:14.739 --> 01:18:17.789 okay? So positions of need. Offensive line, wide 01:18:17.789 --> 01:18:20.090 receiver, running back, defensive line, inside 01:18:20.090 --> 01:18:22.970 linebacker. So they acquired Jalen Moore, Christian 01:18:22.970 --> 01:18:26.409 Fulton, Elijah Mitchell, Jerry Tillery, Gardner 01:18:26.409 --> 01:18:29.130 Minshew, Bailey Zappi, and Robert Rochelle. The 01:18:29.130 --> 01:18:31.670 people that left, Tershaw Wharton, Justin Reed, 01:18:31.890 --> 01:18:36.029 DeAndre Hopkins, Justin Watson, Josh Uche, Shamaji 01:18:36.029 --> 01:18:39.090 P. Ryan, McCole Hartman, Derrick Heath -Taylor. 01:18:39.149 --> 01:18:43.010 So Jalen Moore, I probably have to watch more 01:18:43.010 --> 01:18:46.380 footage of him, but... I understand that they 01:18:46.380 --> 01:18:48.600 wanted to address left tackle, but I feel like 01:18:48.600 --> 01:18:50.619 there's different ways of addressing it personally. 01:18:51.260 --> 01:18:55.859 Sometimes shelling out money to address a need 01:18:55.859 --> 01:18:58.380 can sometimes hurt you more than actually help 01:18:58.380 --> 01:19:00.939 you, but only time will tell. Christian Fulton, 01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:03.279 I feel like that was a pretty good signing. He's 01:19:03.279 --> 01:19:06.460 probably cornerback two or maybe cornerback three 01:19:06.460 --> 01:19:09.600 at best. Elijah Mitchell, backup running back 01:19:09.600 --> 01:19:12.800 option just in case. Isaiah Pacheco gets hurt 01:19:12.800 --> 01:19:16.359 or Isaiah Pacheco holds out because I think he's 01:19:16.359 --> 01:19:19.279 trying to get paid this season. Gardner Minshew, 01:19:19.439 --> 01:19:22.739 pretty good backup role. Same thing with Bailey 01:19:22.739 --> 01:19:25.840 Zappi. I think Bailey Zappi is probably like 01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:28.439 quarterback three at this point. Maybe he can 01:19:28.439 --> 01:19:31.060 use this time to develop and become better. But 01:19:31.060 --> 01:19:34.119 all in all, just like I said with the Eagles 01:19:34.119 --> 01:19:36.640 and the Ravens and the Bills. The Chiefs are 01:19:36.640 --> 01:19:38.520 in a spot where, yes, they are still Super Bowl 01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:40.539 contenders, so they really don't have to make 01:19:40.539 --> 01:19:43.380 a whole lot of crazy moves and whatnot. I feel 01:19:43.380 --> 01:19:45.600 like they're probably going to retool their team 01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:48.359 through the draft and whatnot. So let's get to 01:19:48.359 --> 01:19:51.640 the divisional rodeo, folks. You thought this 01:19:51.640 --> 01:19:54.100 episode was over? No, it is not. We are just 01:19:54.100 --> 01:19:58.659 beginning. Let us start with the AFC South, all 01:19:58.659 --> 01:20:02.600 right? Colts, Jaguars, Texans, and Titans, all 01:20:02.600 --> 01:20:04.479 right? So let's start with the Colts. So their 01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:07.340 salary cap, 21 .7 million with a rollover cap 01:20:07.340 --> 01:20:10.659 of 10 million. Free agents, Will Fries, Ryan 01:20:10.659 --> 01:20:15.260 Kelly, Adeo. Oh, you know what? I'll just say 01:20:15.260 --> 01:20:17.060 Dale. I'll just leave it there because I don't 01:20:17.060 --> 01:20:19.920 want to keep on butchering your last name. Kylan 01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:23.300 Granson, Grant Stroud, Mo Alleycox, Joe Flacco, 01:20:23.500 --> 01:20:25.359 EJ Speed, even though he signed with the Texans 01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:27.960 a few days ago, Julian Blackman, Ronnie Harrison, 01:20:28.260 --> 01:20:32.600 Mark Glanowski, and Trey Sermon. All right? So 01:20:32.600 --> 01:20:35.020 their draft picks. They have their first, their 01:20:35.020 --> 01:20:36.939 second, their third, their fourth, their fifth, 01:20:37.079 --> 01:20:39.199 their sixth. and they're seventh. So they have 01:20:39.199 --> 01:20:41.760 all their picks, okay? They don't have duplicates 01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:43.199 of any of their picks, which actually pretty 01:20:43.199 --> 01:20:46.319 sucks. Now their positions of need, DB, defensive 01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:48.680 line, offensive line, tight end, linebacker, 01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:51.220 and edge. Me personally, I feel like we could 01:20:51.220 --> 01:20:54.279 probably take DB off only because they have Jarvarius 01:20:54.279 --> 01:20:57.600 Ward and they have Cameron Bynum. But everything 01:20:57.600 --> 01:21:00.420 else, I feel like you could definitely address 01:21:00.420 --> 01:21:05.539 in the draft. And so here's my thing. So on one 01:21:05.539 --> 01:21:09.840 hand, You do want to bolster up this defense 01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:13.659 even more. But the question is, how high do you 01:21:13.659 --> 01:21:16.739 value defensive line? Because right now you have 01:21:16.739 --> 01:21:20.020 the 14th pick. So you could be in the sweepstakes 01:21:20.020 --> 01:21:23.180 to possibly get Kenneth Grant. I think if you 01:21:23.180 --> 01:21:25.279 get Kenneth Grant and you pair him with DeForest 01:21:25.279 --> 01:21:28.899 Buckner and Quiddie Paye and the other pass rusher 01:21:28.899 --> 01:21:31.699 that they have, which I literally forgot his 01:21:31.699 --> 01:21:34.939 name just now. I think that would be a ferocious 01:21:34.939 --> 01:21:37.760 defensive line because you're going to have somebody 01:21:37.760 --> 01:21:40.300 to get through because not everybody will be 01:21:40.300 --> 01:21:42.039 able to get double teams. So someone's going 01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:45.819 to get through, okay? Now, for all the other 01:21:45.819 --> 01:21:48.680 positions, okay, offensive line, I feel like 01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:50.659 you could address that maybe day two, maybe day 01:21:50.659 --> 01:21:53.340 three. Tight end, with the tight end class being 01:21:53.340 --> 01:21:56.500 as good as it is, you could probably address 01:21:56.500 --> 01:21:58.500 that maybe like the second round if you really 01:21:58.500 --> 01:22:00.619 wanted to because I feel like if they get Harold 01:22:00.619 --> 01:22:04.760 Fannin Jr., I think that would be great. Or you 01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:07.159 could get Colston Loveland. You know, you have 01:22:07.159 --> 01:22:10.939 options, honestly. Linebacker, I feel like you 01:22:10.939 --> 01:22:14.140 could address that in free agency. I know they 01:22:14.140 --> 01:22:16.279 still have Zaire Franklin, but I feel like you're 01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:18.199 probably going to need to either draft somebody 01:22:18.199 --> 01:22:21.079 or just get somebody. Now, with the linebackers 01:22:21.079 --> 01:22:23.039 in the draft, you'll have Chris Paul Jr., Jiha 01:22:23.039 --> 01:22:27.439 Campbell, Carson Swearinger from either Cal or 01:22:27.439 --> 01:22:32.770 UCLA. So you'll have some options. Edge. I feel 01:22:32.770 --> 01:22:34.850 like you could address that in the first round 01:22:34.850 --> 01:22:38.250 if you really wanted to, because with defensive 01:22:38.250 --> 01:22:42.310 line, OK, you can address it in the second and 01:22:42.310 --> 01:22:45.329 third round if you want to. I feel like Darius 01:22:45.329 --> 01:22:47.449 Alexander will still be there. Jordan Phillips. 01:22:47.649 --> 01:22:50.449 You'll still have some really good options in 01:22:50.449 --> 01:22:52.390 day two and day three for defensive linemen. 01:22:52.409 --> 01:22:56.409 But I feel like edge that may be. a more higher 01:22:56.409 --> 01:22:58.449 priority than defensive linemen. Now, I could 01:22:58.449 --> 01:23:01.010 be wrong. We can debate about it as much as you 01:23:01.010 --> 01:23:04.750 want, okay? But here is the problem right now 01:23:04.750 --> 01:23:07.710 with the Colts. Right now, they have to figure 01:23:07.710 --> 01:23:09.149 out exactly what are they going to do moving 01:23:09.149 --> 01:23:12.409 forward with quarterback. Because I feel like 01:23:12.409 --> 01:23:15.770 at this point, Anthony Richardson has fallen 01:23:15.770 --> 01:23:19.210 out of the good graces of the organization. And 01:23:19.210 --> 01:23:23.310 the reason why I say that is because the straw 01:23:23.310 --> 01:23:26.149 that broke the camel's back, was when he tapped 01:23:26.149 --> 01:23:29.970 out during i think the texans game and then he 01:23:29.970 --> 01:23:33.949 tried to say he was like tired or something that 01:23:33.949 --> 01:23:38.649 one situation created such a ripple effect that 01:23:38.649 --> 01:23:41.109 i think it rubbed a lot of people within the 01:23:41.109 --> 01:23:44.270 organization the wrong way i feel like a lot 01:23:44.270 --> 01:23:47.289 of players felt some type of way about it i feel 01:23:47.289 --> 01:23:50.010 like some of the coaches some type of way about 01:23:50.010 --> 01:23:52.449 it. And I feel like Shane Stuyton at this point 01:23:52.449 --> 01:23:54.510 is basically throwing his hands up and saying, 01:23:54.590 --> 01:23:58.529 I've done everything I could. He doesn't develop. 01:23:59.130 --> 01:24:01.789 There's nothing else I can do. But at the same 01:24:01.789 --> 01:24:03.869 time, if you're the Colts, you have to understand 01:24:03.869 --> 01:24:06.390 that you reached for Anthony Richardson. We all 01:24:06.390 --> 01:24:09.970 knew that Anthony Richardson was a project. We 01:24:09.970 --> 01:24:13.529 all know that he's very raw. He literally had, 01:24:13.710 --> 01:24:16.510 if I'm not mistaken, less than a year of playing 01:24:16.510 --> 01:24:19.989 experience. That's not enough for a quarterback. 01:24:20.350 --> 01:24:23.890 You're going to need at least two to maybe four 01:24:23.890 --> 01:24:26.750 years of experience, maybe even five if you want 01:24:26.750 --> 01:24:30.630 to go all the way, if you really want to. But 01:24:30.630 --> 01:24:33.310 the fact of the matter is, Anthony Richardson 01:24:33.310 --> 01:24:36.789 at this point is at a crossroads. And I think 01:24:36.789 --> 01:24:41.229 right now, depending on what happens at camp, 01:24:41.390 --> 01:24:43.630 will depend what's going to happen next year. 01:24:43.829 --> 01:24:47.090 I feel like personally, they are either going 01:24:47.090 --> 01:24:49.770 to get rid of Anthony Richardson and then pay 01:24:49.770 --> 01:24:51.930 Daniel Jones and make him the franchise quarterback, 01:24:52.250 --> 01:24:55.189 or they're going to draft one next year. Because 01:24:55.189 --> 01:24:58.239 right now, Anthony Richardson just... hasn't 01:24:58.239 --> 01:25:00.979 lived up to the hype nor the expectations that 01:25:00.979 --> 01:25:03.659 the Colts probably had for him. And I feel like 01:25:03.659 --> 01:25:05.640 bringing in someone like Daniel Jones, who is 01:25:05.640 --> 01:25:08.600 quote unquote competition, but in actuality will 01:25:08.600 --> 01:25:13.520 probably beat Anthony Richardson. I think, I 01:25:13.520 --> 01:25:18.680 don't know. I just feel like this is a very weird 01:25:18.680 --> 01:25:21.560 situation because on one hand, you want to point 01:25:21.560 --> 01:25:23.199 the finger at Anthony Richardson, but you also 01:25:23.199 --> 01:25:25.739 have to point the finger at the organization 01:25:25.739 --> 01:25:30.430 because They made the move to get Anthony Richardson. 01:25:30.609 --> 01:25:37.130 So, I don't know. The Colts have been weird the 01:25:37.130 --> 01:25:39.170 last few years. Ever since Andrew Luck, they've 01:25:39.170 --> 01:25:41.029 had a little bit of a carousel when it comes 01:25:41.029 --> 01:25:44.310 to quarterback. You've had Carson Wentz. You've 01:25:44.310 --> 01:25:47.210 had Phillip Rivers. You've had Matt Ryan. They 01:25:47.210 --> 01:25:50.010 had Joe Flacco as well. And they also are probably 01:25:50.010 --> 01:25:53.470 going to have Daniel Jones as well. So, the carousel 01:25:53.470 --> 01:25:55.649 just keeps on going, folks. But when we look 01:25:55.649 --> 01:25:57.770 at candidates for restructure extension trades 01:25:57.770 --> 01:26:01.250 and cuts, okay, quiddy pay extension question 01:26:01.250 --> 01:26:04.310 mark. And the reason why I say that is because 01:26:04.310 --> 01:26:08.270 do you want to get over with now or do you want 01:26:08.270 --> 01:26:11.130 to wait and see what happens when it comes to 01:26:11.130 --> 01:26:14.170 the season? Because the risk is you may have 01:26:14.170 --> 01:26:17.470 to pay two or three times more if he has a crazy 01:26:17.470 --> 01:26:19.989 season. Now, when we look at his market value, 01:26:20.109 --> 01:26:23.710 okay, it's four years. 59 .3 million, which is 01:26:23.710 --> 01:26:26.710 14 .8 million a year. That's not bad at all. 01:26:27.369 --> 01:26:30.210 Considering all the other pass rushers this offseason 01:26:30.210 --> 01:26:31.989 alone that have made a whole bunch of money, 01:26:32.050 --> 01:26:33.550 I think that's actually pretty good, all right? 01:26:33.949 --> 01:26:36.270 Same thing with Braden Smith. Do you want to 01:26:36.270 --> 01:26:40.310 give him an extension? Me personally, I feel 01:26:40.310 --> 01:26:44.029 like if you want to, go for it. But if not, then 01:26:44.029 --> 01:26:46.569 you need to find his replacement either in this 01:26:46.569 --> 01:26:54.680 draft or next year's draft. Samson Abukam. Maybe, 01:26:54.680 --> 01:26:57.920 maybe not. I don't know. I'm a little bit on 01:26:57.920 --> 01:27:00.119 the fence for him. Alec Pierce, I would say give 01:27:00.119 --> 01:27:02.239 him an extension. His market value is only two 01:27:02.239 --> 01:27:05.260 years, 9 .1 million, which is only 4 .6 million 01:27:05.260 --> 01:27:08.680 a year. That's not bad. Jelani Woods, that's 01:27:08.680 --> 01:27:11.539 up for debate. Khalil Herbert, there's no need 01:27:11.539 --> 01:27:14.060 to do that anymore because he signed somewhere 01:27:14.060 --> 01:27:16.180 else. Corey Ballantyne, no need for him to do 01:27:16.180 --> 01:27:22.710 that as well. Bernard Raymond. extension, possibly. 01:27:22.909 --> 01:27:27.829 His market value is only three years, 61 .9 million, 01:27:27.970 --> 01:27:31.329 which is 20 .6 million a year. I think at this 01:27:31.329 --> 01:27:33.609 point, do you want to prioritize keeping the 01:27:33.609 --> 01:27:36.649 offensive line? You may have to because you may 01:27:36.649 --> 01:27:39.289 have to draft a rookie quarterback next year. 01:27:39.390 --> 01:27:44.630 But all in all, the Colts, I feel like underachieve 01:27:44.630 --> 01:27:48.189 every single season because here you have this 01:27:48.189 --> 01:27:51.140 really good roster. And they just failed to meet 01:27:51.140 --> 01:27:54.659 expectations. They should be able to compete 01:27:54.659 --> 01:27:57.000 with the Texans right now to win the division. 01:27:57.180 --> 01:27:59.659 And so far, they really haven't. And they failed 01:27:59.659 --> 01:28:01.779 to meet expectations. Now, is some of that on 01:28:01.779 --> 01:28:03.960 the quarterback? Yes. Is some of that on the 01:28:03.960 --> 01:28:06.859 coaching? Yes. Is some of that on decisions that 01:28:06.859 --> 01:28:09.140 were out of their control? Probably. But the 01:28:09.140 --> 01:28:11.939 fact of the matter is, this Colts team could 01:28:11.939 --> 01:28:15.539 be a playoff caliber team if they start to figure 01:28:15.539 --> 01:28:17.880 out exactly what they want to do moving forward, 01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:22.390 okay? Now on to the Jaguars, okay? So your salary, 01:28:22.590 --> 01:28:25.670 $28 .8 million with a rollover cap of $15 .8 01:28:25.670 --> 01:28:27.649 million, which is actually pretty good. Your 01:28:27.649 --> 01:28:30.470 free agents, Brandon Scherf, Caleb Johnson, Dearness 01:28:30.470 --> 01:28:36.189 Johnson, CJ Beathard, Josiah DeGora, Josh Giles 01:28:36.189 --> 01:28:41.649 Harris, Deshaun Dixon. Devin Duvernay, Blake 01:28:41.649 --> 01:28:44.930 Hance, Josh Reynolds, Jeremiah Ledbetter, Ronald 01:28:44.930 --> 01:28:47.949 Darby, Andre Sisco, Matt Jones, just to name 01:28:47.949 --> 01:28:50.670 a few, okay? So your draft picks. You got your 01:28:50.670 --> 01:28:52.810 first, your second. You have two third -round 01:28:52.810 --> 01:28:55.329 picks. You have two fourth -round picks. You 01:28:55.329 --> 01:28:58.510 have a fifth. You have two sixth -round picks 01:28:58.510 --> 01:29:01.210 and one seventh -round pick, okay? Positions 01:29:01.210 --> 01:29:04.029 of need. Interior offensive line, tight end, 01:29:04.109 --> 01:29:07.050 wide receiver, DB, running back, and then defensive 01:29:07.050 --> 01:29:10.500 line. So here's the thing. So the Jags have had 01:29:10.500 --> 01:29:13.960 a lot of turnover lately in this offseason. You 01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:17.159 got a new head coach, a GM. You've let go of 01:29:17.159 --> 01:29:20.640 a few offensive weapons. You let go of Evan Ingram 01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:23.779 as well as Christian Kirk. So the question is, 01:29:23.859 --> 01:29:27.260 what is the direction of the team? Because right 01:29:27.260 --> 01:29:30.239 now, you are probably going to have to add some 01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:33.699 more offensive weapons for Trevor Lawrence. And 01:29:33.699 --> 01:29:37.640 so right now, all the positions of need that 01:29:37.640 --> 01:29:40.829 you have, could be addressed in the first round 01:29:40.829 --> 01:29:42.909 or could be addressed day two and day three. 01:29:43.130 --> 01:29:45.729 Now, the positions that I feel like that need 01:29:45.729 --> 01:29:49.109 to be addressed in the first round could be defensive 01:29:49.109 --> 01:29:54.170 line, DB, and maybe tight end. Well, you know 01:29:54.170 --> 01:29:58.149 what? Maybe even interior offensive line. And 01:29:58.149 --> 01:30:00.449 I know this may be a hot take, but I just have 01:30:00.449 --> 01:30:03.909 to drop this truth bomb for you. I do feel like 01:30:03.909 --> 01:30:07.189 Gray Zabel could be a really good pick. I feel 01:30:07.189 --> 01:30:10.840 like he is worth, you know, the top five pick. 01:30:11.060 --> 01:30:13.239 And the only reason why I say that is because, 01:30:13.340 --> 01:30:17.680 for one, he has positional flexibility. And two, 01:30:17.880 --> 01:30:23.560 he has the upside to be a potential all -pro 01:30:23.560 --> 01:30:26.939 offensive lineman. You're talking about somebody 01:30:26.939 --> 01:30:31.119 that, to me, I feel like he's a better, more 01:30:31.119 --> 01:30:35.970 refined version of a Troy Fatami. that's my comp 01:30:35.970 --> 01:30:38.529 for for grace able no i i could i could definitely 01:30:38.529 --> 01:30:42.890 be wrong but at this point i feel like the jaguars 01:30:42.890 --> 01:30:45.930 need to prioritize one protecting trevor lawrence 01:30:45.930 --> 01:30:49.050 while at the same time trying to maximize what 01:30:49.050 --> 01:30:51.529 you have with trevor lawrence because granted 01:30:51.529 --> 01:30:53.829 you gave him a boatload of money and he really 01:30:53.829 --> 01:30:57.170 hasn't lived up lived up to that deal so you 01:30:57.170 --> 01:31:00.449 need to figure out exactly what can what can 01:31:00.449 --> 01:31:04.579 the the jaguars do To be more competitive. Because 01:31:04.579 --> 01:31:07.479 at this point. They have a lot of pieces. To 01:31:07.479 --> 01:31:11.460 be a problem within their division. But the problem 01:31:11.460 --> 01:31:14.159 is. Those pieces either don't come together. 01:31:14.399 --> 01:31:16.819 Or they're just shipped away somewhere. So the 01:31:16.819 --> 01:31:18.960 Jaguars have to figure out. What direction this 01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:23.119 team wants to go. At this point. Because if you 01:31:23.119 --> 01:31:25.260 don't figure this thing out. It's going to be 01:31:25.260 --> 01:31:27.199 a waste. For Trevor Lawrence. It's going to be 01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:30.619 a waste for Trevon Walker. Josh Allen Hines. 01:31:30.739 --> 01:31:33.189 And a few other players. you know that you have 01:31:33.189 --> 01:31:35.949 in your team now when we look at candidates for 01:31:35.949 --> 01:31:38.170 restructure extension trades and cuts i feel 01:31:38.170 --> 01:31:39.949 like this is probably the shortest list that 01:31:39.949 --> 01:31:43.670 i've ever done for a team but here goes trevon 01:31:43.670 --> 01:31:48.130 walker extension you need to do this now because 01:31:48.130 --> 01:31:50.970 if you don't do this now you run the risk of 01:31:50.970 --> 01:31:53.630 having to pay him probably the the equivalence 01:31:53.630 --> 01:31:57.590 of a tj watt a max crosby or miles gary right 01:31:57.590 --> 01:31:59.829 now trevon walker is starting to show something 01:31:59.829 --> 01:32:04.090 right now trevon walker has had, if I'm not mistaken, 01:32:04.289 --> 01:32:07.470 two back -to -back double -digit sack seasons. 01:32:07.869 --> 01:32:11.770 If he has a third one, oh, that's over. That 01:32:11.770 --> 01:32:14.010 conversation is over. That conversation will 01:32:14.010 --> 01:32:17.810 start with dollars and cents. So it's better 01:32:17.810 --> 01:32:20.829 you be a little bit proactive. Bring them to 01:32:20.829 --> 01:32:22.989 the table now, because if you don't, you're going 01:32:22.989 --> 01:32:27.550 to regret it. The Bengals, they regret it. The 01:32:27.550 --> 01:32:30.149 Vikings, they regret it. You don't want to regret 01:32:30.149 --> 01:32:33.659 it. Devin Lloyd, question mark of an extension 01:32:33.659 --> 01:32:35.899 because when we look at his market value, it's 01:32:35.899 --> 01:32:38.739 only three years, $27 .3 million, which is only 01:32:38.739 --> 01:32:41.520 $9 .1 million a year. That's not bad. That's 01:32:41.520 --> 01:32:44.100 chump change for y 'all. Travis Etienne is a 01:32:44.100 --> 01:32:49.199 question mark because what direction do you see 01:32:49.199 --> 01:32:52.539 him going? Do you see him staying with the team 01:32:52.539 --> 01:32:55.819 or do you possibly see him as a trade candidate? 01:32:56.520 --> 01:32:58.680 Because me personally, I feel like with the running 01:32:58.680 --> 01:33:01.060 back class being as good as it is, do you want 01:33:01.060 --> 01:33:04.119 to bring somebody to pair along with him? Or 01:33:04.119 --> 01:33:07.300 do you want him to just to be the number one 01:33:07.300 --> 01:33:09.960 running back at this point? What do you want 01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:13.279 to do with Travis Etienne? Because right now 01:33:13.279 --> 01:33:16.800 his market value is four years, 32 million, which 01:33:16.800 --> 01:33:21.579 is 8 .2 million a year. You have a lot of tough 01:33:21.579 --> 01:33:23.020 decisions that you're going to have to make. 01:33:23.560 --> 01:33:27.119 this offseason, going into this season, as well 01:33:27.119 --> 01:33:31.859 as next season. So all in all, the Jaguars are 01:33:31.859 --> 01:33:34.460 at a crossroads. The Jaguars need to figure out 01:33:34.460 --> 01:33:38.479 exactly who they are while at the same time figure 01:33:38.479 --> 01:33:41.140 out... What can they do to clean themselves up 01:33:41.140 --> 01:33:44.840 to be more competitive, not only in their division, 01:33:45.000 --> 01:33:48.199 but as well as in the league and actually be 01:33:48.199 --> 01:33:50.319 taken seriously? Because I feel like a lot of 01:33:50.319 --> 01:33:52.899 times the Jaguars have been the laughingstock 01:33:52.899 --> 01:33:55.739 of the league because for the last, what, five 01:33:55.739 --> 01:33:58.100 to ten years, they're always one of the few teams 01:33:58.100 --> 01:34:00.380 that are always top five when it comes to the 01:34:00.380 --> 01:34:05.239 draft board. So hopefully that changes this season 01:34:05.239 --> 01:34:08.949 with the new head coach and whatnot. On to the 01:34:08.949 --> 01:34:12.750 Texans. Okay, so their salary, $5 .5 million 01:34:12.750 --> 01:34:15.909 with a rollover cap of $4 .8 million. Free agents, 01:34:16.170 --> 01:34:21.810 Shaq Mason, Robert Woods, Foley, Fotsky, if I'm 01:34:21.810 --> 01:34:24.350 not mistaken, Case Keenum, Jerry Hughes, Neville 01:34:24.350 --> 01:34:28.369 Hewitt, Irv Smith, Kadar Hallman, Miles Bryant, 01:34:28.729 --> 01:34:31.489 and Dalton Keene. So their draft picks, they 01:34:31.489 --> 01:34:33.880 got their first. They're second. They have two 01:34:33.880 --> 01:34:35.479 third -round picks. They don't have a fourth. 01:34:35.619 --> 01:34:37.939 They have a fifth. They don't have a sixth. And 01:34:37.939 --> 01:34:39.739 they have a seventh -round pick. Positions of 01:34:39.739 --> 01:34:43.020 need. Offensive line, wide receiver, D -tackle. 01:34:43.420 --> 01:34:46.899 So here's the thing. So you trade away Laramie 01:34:46.899 --> 01:34:50.800 Tunsell, and you brought in Cam Robinson. Like 01:34:50.800 --> 01:34:53.340 I said before, when we did the grades and whatnot 01:34:53.340 --> 01:34:55.979 for every single team, that was a downgrade. 01:34:56.539 --> 01:34:58.899 I feel like, at best, you probably should have 01:34:58.899 --> 01:35:02.489 just drafted one. Now, granted... you're not 01:35:02.489 --> 01:35:05.909 high enough to get one of those you know one 01:35:05.909 --> 01:35:09.130 of those blue chips when it comes to you know 01:35:09.130 --> 01:35:11.750 will campbell or calvin banks or any of those 01:35:11.750 --> 01:35:13.710 different types of guys but at the same time 01:35:13.710 --> 01:35:18.689 you still could draft one and you need to draft 01:35:18.689 --> 01:35:21.270 one because right now the number one problem 01:35:21.270 --> 01:35:24.710 with the texans was what the offensive line the 01:35:24.710 --> 01:35:27.619 offensive line was getting smothered Every single 01:35:27.619 --> 01:35:30.199 game and C .J. Stroud was fighting for his life. 01:35:30.319 --> 01:35:33.699 So at this point, you need to make it a priority 01:35:33.699 --> 01:35:36.060 to address the offensive line. I would not be 01:35:36.060 --> 01:35:38.880 surprised if they double dip at offensive line 01:35:38.880 --> 01:35:43.609 this draft class because right now. You did bring 01:35:43.609 --> 01:35:46.850 in Laken Thomason, which was pretty good. You 01:35:46.850 --> 01:35:49.149 still have Titus Howard, which is pretty good 01:35:49.149 --> 01:35:52.130 as well. But you still need to bolster up this 01:35:52.130 --> 01:35:54.609 offensive line even more. You still have to make 01:35:54.609 --> 01:35:58.409 it better. That is the only way that this team 01:35:58.409 --> 01:36:01.069 can go back to being what it was at least two 01:36:01.069 --> 01:36:04.489 years ago. Because right now, C .J. Stroud... 01:36:05.069 --> 01:36:07.550 Is that a point now where he could probably be 01:36:07.550 --> 01:36:09.569 the reason that they go to the AFC championship, 01:36:09.689 --> 01:36:14.090 that they go to the Super Bowl? But if you don't 01:36:14.090 --> 01:36:16.850 give him offensive line, that's not going to 01:36:16.850 --> 01:36:21.930 happen. Now, wide receiver. This one is a little 01:36:21.930 --> 01:36:24.810 bit hard for me to talk about only because of 01:36:24.810 --> 01:36:29.310 Tank Dell and his injury. He suffered a really 01:36:29.310 --> 01:36:35.840 bad leg injury and. On one hand, we all know 01:36:35.840 --> 01:36:38.460 he won't be available this season, but at the 01:36:38.460 --> 01:36:41.619 same time, this is like the second injury that 01:36:41.619 --> 01:36:45.180 he's had. And so you have to be a little bit 01:36:45.180 --> 01:36:49.399 concerned about it. And not to mention, we don't 01:36:49.399 --> 01:36:52.180 know how he's going to be after this injury because 01:36:52.180 --> 01:36:56.600 he basically tore every single ligament in his 01:36:56.600 --> 01:37:01.609 leg. Well, knee. He tore. his ACL, I think his 01:37:01.609 --> 01:37:05.229 MCL, I think he tore his meniscus as well. So 01:37:05.229 --> 01:37:09.329 on one hand, yes, you do need to address receiver, 01:37:09.350 --> 01:37:11.829 but do you need to address it high? No, because 01:37:11.829 --> 01:37:14.390 you have Christian Kirk and you still have everybody 01:37:14.390 --> 01:37:17.649 else as well. So I feel like you could get someone 01:37:17.649 --> 01:37:21.350 like a Jack Besch or Jaden Higgins or any of 01:37:21.350 --> 01:37:23.390 those day two or day three receivers. And I think 01:37:23.390 --> 01:37:26.050 that that still will be good. I feel like Jaden 01:37:26.050 --> 01:37:29.100 Higgins specifically. He has the upside to be 01:37:29.100 --> 01:37:34.020 a number one wide receiver, personally. But all 01:37:34.020 --> 01:37:36.140 in all, I think it's just a wait and see when 01:37:36.140 --> 01:37:39.020 it comes to the wide receiver position. Defensive 01:37:39.020 --> 01:37:42.560 line, as I've said before in all the other Divisional 01:37:42.560 --> 01:37:45.520 Rodeo episodes, you can address that day two 01:37:45.520 --> 01:37:48.500 if you really want to, right? You could bring 01:37:48.500 --> 01:37:52.720 in... Alfred Collins or Jordan Phillips or Darius 01:37:52.720 --> 01:37:56.520 Alexander or Aeneas Pebbles or JJ Pegasus or 01:37:56.520 --> 01:37:59.079 Yaya Black or any of those different types of 01:37:59.079 --> 01:38:02.180 defensive linemen, you can do that because the 01:38:02.180 --> 01:38:04.960 more dangerous you make this defensive line, 01:38:05.199 --> 01:38:08.300 the less that you have to worry about when it 01:38:08.300 --> 01:38:12.060 comes to everybody else's role on the team. Because 01:38:12.060 --> 01:38:14.460 right now, you have a two -headed monster in 01:38:14.460 --> 01:38:17.420 Will Anderson and Daniil Hunter. If you continue 01:38:17.420 --> 01:38:20.699 to build off of that, you could potentially have 01:38:20.699 --> 01:38:23.079 one of the most dangerous defensive lines in 01:38:23.079 --> 01:38:28.020 the entire league. Just saying. Now, this is 01:38:28.020 --> 01:38:29.880 going to be a little bit of a shocker, but I 01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:32.159 don't have anything for candidates for restructure, 01:38:32.199 --> 01:38:34.939 extension, trays, or cuts. Now, originally, I 01:38:34.939 --> 01:38:36.840 was going to put Derek Stingley, but that was 01:38:36.840 --> 01:38:41.539 before he got his deal. But right now, the Texans 01:38:41.539 --> 01:38:44.659 are in a situation where, yes, they are still 01:38:44.659 --> 01:38:49.069 competitive, but time is ticking. And the reason 01:38:49.069 --> 01:38:52.449 why I say that is because we all know once it's 01:38:52.449 --> 01:38:54.470 time to pay a quarterback, things get a little 01:38:54.470 --> 01:38:58.390 bit limited. And we all know that they also have 01:38:58.390 --> 01:38:59.989 Will Anderson that they're going to have to pay 01:38:59.989 --> 01:39:02.430 as well. And you won't be able to pay him like 01:39:02.430 --> 01:39:04.909 a pass rusher, too. You may have to pay him like 01:39:04.909 --> 01:39:08.550 a pass rusher one. All right. Not to mention 01:39:08.550 --> 01:39:12.630 the team is still fairly young. They still have 01:39:12.630 --> 01:39:14.350 to go through their bumps and their bruises. 01:39:14.390 --> 01:39:16.250 But all in all, they are still a really good 01:39:16.250 --> 01:39:20.210 team. Had the refs not cheated them, because 01:39:20.210 --> 01:39:22.289 they did, I don't care what anyone says, I don't 01:39:22.289 --> 01:39:25.770 care what any of you Chiefs fans say, had the 01:39:25.770 --> 01:39:28.689 refs not cheated the Texans last year in the 01:39:28.689 --> 01:39:31.689 playoffs, I feel like we probably would have 01:39:31.689 --> 01:39:34.529 saw something special. But I think the number 01:39:34.529 --> 01:39:36.970 one takeaway for this offseason for the Texans 01:39:36.970 --> 01:39:40.170 is you have to prioritize taking care of C .J. 01:39:40.210 --> 01:39:42.670 Stroud, and that starts with the offensive line. 01:39:43.020 --> 01:39:45.859 If you do not do anything else, if all of your 01:39:45.859 --> 01:39:47.840 draft picks are offensive linemen, I would not 01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:51.000 care because right now you have to protect C 01:39:51.000 --> 01:39:54.119 .J. Stroud. C .J. Stroud took too much of a beating 01:39:54.119 --> 01:39:57.539 last season and you don't want to continue to 01:39:57.539 --> 01:40:01.920 be a recurring problem with him. Now on to the 01:40:01.920 --> 01:40:06.060 final team, the Titans. Your salary, $36 million 01:40:06.060 --> 01:40:09.319 with a rollover cap of $14 .7 million. Your free 01:40:09.319 --> 01:40:12.619 agents, Harold Landry, Mason Rudolph, Nick Westbrook, 01:40:12.720 --> 01:40:15.140 Luke Gifford, Ryan Stonehouse, Jerome Baker, 01:40:15.359 --> 01:40:17.760 Jack Gibbons, Jadobe Woozie, Aquandre Diggs, 01:40:17.880 --> 01:40:21.420 Tyler Boyd, Nick Vanette, Daniel Brunskill, Nick 01:40:21.420 --> 01:40:24.579 Folk, Daryl Worley, Justin Hardy, and James Lynch, 01:40:24.739 --> 01:40:28.460 just to name a few. So your draft picks, we all 01:40:28.460 --> 01:40:33.479 know, we know, we know, we know, all right? So 01:40:33.479 --> 01:40:35.460 they got their first or second. They don't have 01:40:35.460 --> 01:40:38.039 a third. They have two fourth round picks. They 01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:41.420 have two fifth round picks and they have a sixth 01:40:41.420 --> 01:40:43.979 and a seventh round pick. All right. So positions 01:40:43.979 --> 01:40:46.800 of need, quarterback, wide receiver, edge, safety, 01:40:46.899 --> 01:40:50.920 kicker. OK, and this was this was prior to, you 01:40:50.920 --> 01:40:53.859 know, free agency and whatnot. So here's the 01:40:53.859 --> 01:40:56.500 thing. We all know that most likely they're going 01:40:56.500 --> 01:41:00.060 to choose Cam Ward at number one. Perfectly fine. 01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:03.720 But it's what you do after that that matters 01:41:03.720 --> 01:41:06.100 the most because right now you really need to 01:41:06.100 --> 01:41:08.979 build up this offense more. Sure, you have Tony 01:41:08.979 --> 01:41:11.300 Pollard. Sure, you have Calvin Ridley. But you 01:41:11.300 --> 01:41:14.199 still need more at this point. And I feel like 01:41:14.199 --> 01:41:17.000 they need to probably get at least maybe one 01:41:17.000 --> 01:41:19.760 to two receivers in this draft as well as another 01:41:19.760 --> 01:41:23.539 tight end. Because right now, Cam Ward is going 01:41:23.539 --> 01:41:26.260 to need all the help that he can get at this 01:41:26.260 --> 01:41:29.180 point. Sure, the offensive line, to me, I feel 01:41:29.180 --> 01:41:31.000 like it's really good. You have Lloyd Cushenberry, 01:41:31.119 --> 01:41:33.600 you have Kevin Zeidler, you have JC Latham, you 01:41:33.600 --> 01:41:35.340 have Peter Skowronski, and then you have Dan 01:41:35.340 --> 01:41:38.359 Moore as well. All really good signings. But 01:41:38.359 --> 01:41:42.159 now I'm for you to add more, all right? You need 01:41:42.159 --> 01:41:45.579 more receivers. You need just more weapons as 01:41:45.579 --> 01:41:48.140 a whole. Maybe even more running backs as well. 01:41:48.460 --> 01:41:52.380 Now when we look at edge. I feel like you could 01:41:52.380 --> 01:41:54.619 address that in the later parts of the draft. 01:41:54.800 --> 01:41:56.340 I still feel like there are some hidden gems 01:41:56.340 --> 01:41:59.920 at edge. There's an edge rusher actually from 01:41:59.920 --> 01:42:03.159 SMU that I haven't had a chance to look at that 01:42:03.159 --> 01:42:05.180 apparently he's actually pretty good. Within 01:42:05.180 --> 01:42:07.520 the last two seasons, I think he had like 18 01:42:07.520 --> 01:42:09.960 and a half sacks together. Pretty good. So I'm 01:42:09.960 --> 01:42:11.260 probably going to check him out there. I'll let 01:42:11.260 --> 01:42:14.039 you guys know about him. But safety. This one 01:42:14.039 --> 01:42:16.659 is a little bit tricky, okay? Because me personally, 01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:20.079 you know, I love Malachi Starks, you know, E 01:42:20.079 --> 01:42:24.380 -Man, Xavier Watts. Who else? Who else? Who else? 01:42:24.500 --> 01:42:27.439 Who else? Who else? Malachi Moore from Alabama. 01:42:27.600 --> 01:42:29.579 Like, you have options at safety. This safety 01:42:29.579 --> 01:42:31.859 class, believe it or not, is a sleeper. That's 01:42:31.859 --> 01:42:33.500 not getting a whole lot of attention that it 01:42:33.500 --> 01:42:36.600 probably should. I feel like, and this is my 01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:39.920 personal opinion, if they drafted a safety high, 01:42:40.779 --> 01:42:45.159 to replace potentially Armani Hooker, if they 01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:47.840 don't pay him, I still feel like that's a pretty 01:42:47.840 --> 01:42:50.859 good move. Just saying. We can debate about it, 01:42:50.899 --> 01:42:55.659 but just saying. Now, Kicker, you can address 01:42:55.659 --> 01:42:58.239 that sixth or seventh round. You can just sign 01:42:58.239 --> 01:43:00.859 somebody, honestly. But when we look at candidates 01:43:00.859 --> 01:43:03.880 for restructure, extensions, trades, and cuts... 01:43:04.270 --> 01:43:07.529 uh armani hooker extension question mark okay 01:43:07.529 --> 01:43:10.729 his market value is three years 1 .2 million 01:43:10.729 --> 01:43:14.310 which is 17 .1 million a year do you really want 01:43:14.310 --> 01:43:18.210 to pay that with this safety class probably not 01:43:18.210 --> 01:43:20.550 i may be a little bit more skeptical i'll give 01:43:20.550 --> 01:43:23.930 him an offer but i'm not going to like you know 01:43:23.930 --> 01:43:26.850 fight for him or anything no not when you have 01:43:27.700 --> 01:43:31.460 Nick Emanwari, Malachi Starks, Malachi Moore, 01:43:31.659 --> 01:43:35.300 Xavier Watts, Sebastian Castro, all these other 01:43:35.300 --> 01:43:37.380 safeties that you have. There's no need for you 01:43:37.380 --> 01:43:40.420 to want to go out your way to pay for a money 01:43:40.420 --> 01:43:42.979 hooker, but that's your decision. Arden Key, 01:43:43.260 --> 01:43:47.420 possible extension. His market value, three years, 01:43:47.560 --> 01:43:50.859 $40 .6 million, which is $13 .5 million a year. 01:43:50.939 --> 01:43:54.640 All in all, I feel like this is a very young 01:43:54.640 --> 01:43:57.220 team that's still trying to find its way. It's 01:43:57.220 --> 01:43:59.300 gone through a lot of changes. So, of course, 01:43:59.300 --> 01:44:01.060 it's going to go through its bumps and its bruises. 01:44:01.180 --> 01:44:03.960 But I think stabilizing the quarterback position 01:44:03.960 --> 01:44:07.300 would definitely help substantially. And I feel 01:44:07.300 --> 01:44:09.279 like once you do that, everything else would 01:44:09.279 --> 01:44:13.140 just fall into place. Now, do I feel like they 01:44:13.140 --> 01:44:15.119 could probably make some more significant moves 01:44:15.119 --> 01:44:17.600 to probably bolster things up a little bit more? 01:44:17.739 --> 01:44:22.720 For sure. But I think getting Dan Moore was pretty 01:44:22.720 --> 01:44:26.109 good. I understand there's a lot of people that 01:44:26.109 --> 01:44:27.829 probably feel some type of way about it, but 01:44:27.829 --> 01:44:30.609 for him to be able to hold his own against people 01:44:30.609 --> 01:44:33.949 like Trey Hendrickson and Miles Garrett and company 01:44:33.949 --> 01:44:37.210 definitely says a lot. So all in all, the Titans, 01:44:37.329 --> 01:44:38.649 you're going to go through your bumps and your 01:44:38.649 --> 01:44:40.750 bruises, like I just said, but you're going to 01:44:40.750 --> 01:44:45.489 be fine as long as you do the right thing. Now, 01:44:45.550 --> 01:44:47.270 this is a theory. Well, not really a theory, 01:44:47.329 --> 01:44:49.789 but this is an idea that I have. Walk with me, 01:44:49.810 --> 01:44:52.140 all right? We're going to take this walk. Just 01:44:52.140 --> 01:44:55.140 act like we're walking, all right? So what if 01:44:55.140 --> 01:44:59.779 you trade the first pick with the idea that you 01:44:59.779 --> 01:45:02.060 possibly get Archie Manning next year? Boom. 01:45:02.479 --> 01:45:04.159 I'll let you think about that in the next episode. 01:45:04.319 --> 01:45:06.180 But I'm going to end this episode here.
