them correct that's probably true all

4:22

of our draft predictions on today's

4:24

show for all the major players

4:26

that every position which is a

4:28

lot of fun we got the

4:30

news but we got to get

4:32

into our quick question it's an

4:35

important one wait a minute we're

4:37

going at the top of the

4:39

show I look we we promised

4:41

you a story two episodes ago

4:43

we said hey production team put

4:45

it in our show doc remind

4:47

us that we need to tell

4:49

the story of what happened here

4:51

with the Falcon who's sitting over

4:53

there in in kind of a

4:55

muddled shame shadowing his face and

4:57

Guess what? We forgot to tell

4:59

you about this story. No, no,

5:02

no, no. Because... Oh, okay, okay.

5:04

Because... The guilty party... No. Did

5:06

you not hear this part? What?

5:08

He took it out of the

5:10

show dog. Are you kidding me?

5:12

And he's done it three times.

5:14

Why is he not been fired?

5:16

We are the most gracious... Just

5:18

grace-filled employers of all time. This

5:20

man should not... We're so humble,

5:22

this man should not be working

5:24

here. The real team, the real

5:27

crack team. He really deleted it

5:29

in it? Oh my gosh. We

5:31

thought the Ducers were messing up,

5:33

but no, the Falcon was stealing

5:35

it out of the show doc.

5:37

Oh, hoping that if you did

5:39

it. Speaking of stealing from this

5:41

company, that's the story. So the

5:43

great story is Jason and Mike,

5:45

we're out of town. They were

5:47

in Chicago keynoting the podcast evolutions

5:49

conference just trying to move our

5:51

company forward so we can for

5:54

all of our employees. We're away

5:56

from the families. We're like, we're

5:58

putting, working hard for the podcast

6:00

industry for to employ people like

6:02

the Falcon. And we get a

6:04

message from Andy. Here's the truth.

6:06

I try to be a really

6:08

fiscally responsible leader of the company.

6:10

Again, just so I can provide

6:12

for our employees, though we can

6:14

be efficient and effective. And I

6:16

just happen to, now, one of

6:18

the things that we do here

6:21

every day, it's how we build

6:23

the team is we. We buy

6:25

lunch for everybody every day and

6:27

most of the time that's through

6:29

Dordash. So we, we, every day

6:31

everybody puts an order in, we

6:33

got, you know, the Falcon and

6:35

Papa Josh and Al and the

6:37

three of us and our Dev

6:39

team and Jake and you know,

6:41

we're ordering every day Dordash, Dordash,

6:43

Dordash, Dordash, Dordash, and I, you

6:45

know, I go and I look

6:48

at our credit card statement. I'm

6:50

like, these are just, you know,

6:52

Dordash, Dordash, Dordash, Dordash, and then

6:54

I go, and then I go,

6:56

wait a minute. Something's wrong! Yeah,

6:58

there's some weird... Charges and I

7:00

start asking poor Al over there

7:02

I go are you accidentally using

7:04

the company card for your personal

7:06

home door to I were you

7:08

doing that? No, sir. Yeah, we

7:10

were in Chicago we get the

7:12

message hey my Andy did you

7:15

guys order whatever it was Shake

7:17

Shack? Yeah, some some places that

7:19

I don't I remember getting them

7:21

for lunch. Shake check next to

7:23

me I wish did we ever

7:25

get Shake Shack next to me

7:27

I wish did we ever get

7:29

Shake Shack Shack here at the

7:31

office? No, never got Shake Shack.

7:33

There's a bunch of Shakeick was

7:35

certainly ordered on our order on

7:37

our card on our card on

7:39

our card. and a bunch of

7:42

places well and so then Andy

7:44

just goes to work it's like

7:46

i gotta find well who's who

7:48

is this yeah these two orders

7:50

someone ordered on our company card

7:52

two times couple times which shake

7:54

shack and and some places like

7:56

the pokey bar like that has

7:58

that it definitely happens to us

8:00

yeah and we're like we you

8:02

cut you do when it's the

8:04

three of us we have a

8:06

walk of shame like I owe

8:09

the company 60 dollars and we

8:11

go put it on the whiteboard

8:13

like And we pay the company

8:15

back. I mean, we're we're we're

8:17

stand up guys stand up guys.

8:19

And then suddenly it begins to

8:21

unravel. You know who knows all

8:23

of these places? B.J's restaurant, pokey

8:25

bar and shak shak. There's one

8:27

individual in the office, huh? That

8:29

does know. I like all those

8:31

places. He's like, I'm very familiar.

8:33

Turns out, foot clan. The string,

8:36

Andy just kept pulling on the

8:38

string on the sweater. The string

8:40

of fraud. And I keep pulling

8:42

it and lo and behold, for,

8:44

this is as of like two

8:46

weeks ago, all the way back

8:48

to last August, the Falcon has

8:50

somehow left our company card in

8:52

his personal door dash. Somehow. For

8:54

six months. Forty-eight orders. 40 it's

8:56

not like you how did you

8:58

not be like man this is

9:01

free I've never getting charged two

9:03

thousand eighty two dollars and thirty

9:05

six cents you used our card

9:07

48 times and didn't notice it

9:09

would have been 48 more guys

9:11

oh if thousand more I mean

9:13

he clearly does not pay attention

9:15

I found this much to his

9:17

benefit Because he, to his, you

9:19

know, he cut us a check.

9:21

Yeah. The next. Yeah, he was

9:23

loaded. He's like, man, I've had

9:25

free food for months. Yeah, that's

9:28

an easy check to write. But

9:30

imagine if this had happened and

9:32

it would have been hard. It

9:34

would have been hard to see

9:36

because we ordered Dordash for the

9:38

company every day. Yeah, and that

9:40

you know and lo and behold

9:42

so we we definitely gave him

9:44

a hard time We found out

9:46

which places he orders that he

9:48

most often ordered 34% of his

9:50

orders were Monday. Oh, yeah, we

9:52

charted this up and Sunday was

9:55

20% of his orders What was

9:57

the most possible? the restaurant there.

9:59

It was Shake Shack. Shake Shack.

10:01

Shake Shack. Drive 20 minutes to

10:03

it now. So I get that.

10:05

There's a lot of interesting things

10:07

on here, which I'm going to

10:09

call out the most shameful. Uh-oh.

10:11

Four and a half percent is

10:13

McDonald's. Yeah. And I'm not clowning

10:15

on McDonald's. But there's got to

10:17

be. pretty close to you yeah

10:19

it's not far five point six

10:22

percent taco bell i mean i

10:24

promise you're two minutes away from

10:26

both of those places you can

10:28

just go get it right now

10:30

and i mean yeah but then

10:32

he would have to use his

10:34

real card right that's true he

10:36

doesn't have our company card on

10:38

him so that's a no question

10:40

because it's been two weeks since

10:42

you were outed have you put

10:44

our company card back on your

10:46

account yet Not yet. Okay. He

10:49

has also stopped ordering. I think

10:51

it was more of an intervention

10:53

that happened because I think he

10:55

deleted the app. Oh, good. All

10:57

together? Good for you. It wasn't

10:59

even his company card. It was

11:01

mine. That's right. They'll never catch

11:03

me. They'll think it's Jeremy. They

11:05

wanted to bury you. I guess

11:07

Andy was asking if it was

11:09

my wife. He's like, is any

11:11

chance? I was like, what? Did

11:13

this? Does your wife order 48

11:16

times? How was he working here?

11:18

We, you know, we looked into

11:20

it and he's just an idiot.

11:22

Yeah, that is what. Nothing. The

11:24

investigation yielded. The results that guilty.

11:26

That's being a moron. That wasn't

11:28

nothing nefarious. Right. Just dumb. He's

11:30

just dumb. Any final words? I

11:32

mean, do you have anything you

11:34

want to weigh in on for

11:36

the hundreds of thousands of people

11:38

that are watching you get bodied

11:40

right now? Nah, I'm an idiot.

11:43

So there's your story and here's

11:45

some news. News and notes from

11:47

around the league. He was deleting

11:49

it out of the show doc.

11:51

He did not want his shame

11:53

brought to the surf. I didn't

11:55

even know that. I was like,

11:57

how did we keep forgetting? He

11:59

deleted it. Oh, I mean, crafty

12:01

crafty guy. All right, a schema

12:03

a schema Yeah, hopped up on

12:05

McDonald's All right, we have some

12:07

news Christian McCaffrey participating in the

12:10

off-season program with no restrictions Okay,

12:12

George Kittle not reporting for voluntary

12:14

OTAs once he might want some

12:16

schmunk the schmone wants some contract

12:18

adjustments some contract adjustments and Purdy

12:20

is not yet under contract adjustments

12:22

and Purdy is not yet under

12:24

a contract adjustments Pretty is in

12:26

camp though. Yeah, he did show

12:28

up to the volunteers. Which is

12:30

a good sign that negotiations are

12:32

getting close. James Cook did not

12:34

report. Once that's money. Yeah. It's

12:37

that time of year. Hold on

12:39

it guys. These are, oh wait,

12:41

what? What do we have? Breaking

12:43

news. We have an additional little

12:45

tidbit coming in from another employee.

12:47

This is coming in from one

12:49

of our dev team. Apparently the

12:51

Falcon tried to bribe Schneider to

12:53

remove the slack reminder. So we

12:55

wouldn't mention it on the show

12:57

today. Oh my God. What was

12:59

the bribe? A free round of

13:02

golf. Oh my goodness. Oh my

13:04

goodness. Oh it's a real bribe.

13:06

Unfortunately, due to us taking his

13:08

ability to buy free food, he

13:10

has no money to bribe with.

13:12

The rest of us being honorable

13:14

men. All right, the saints picking

13:16

up the fifth year option on

13:18

Chrisolave. Jaylon Warren who we expected

13:20

to signed a one-year 5.3 million

13:22

dollar contract He had been a

13:24

restricted free agent with a second

13:26

round two round tender. Yeah, and

13:29

then We have Diana Racini reporting

13:31

the brown Steelers and Vikings are

13:33

the most likely suitors for Kirk

13:35

cousins. I can't believe the Vikings

13:37

are even being mentioned there Yeah

13:39

it is it is surprising in

13:41

that in that mention it was

13:43

said that that's the least likely

13:45

of the destinations he wants to

13:47

go I mean it's it's been

13:49

reported that you know he has

13:51

to basically approve the destination. He

13:53

doesn't want to go to a

13:56

place with a young, promising quarterback.

13:58

He doesn't want to be benched

14:00

for a second year quarterback. Yeah,

14:02

he doesn't want what happened this

14:04

last year to happen again. So

14:06

maybe that's why I know Andy

14:08

you think that this is pretty

14:10

much a done deal to the

14:12

Browns. You've been saying this for

14:14

a long time. Just setting up

14:16

my own moment on the show

14:18

to be wrong. But yeah, or

14:20

to be right. But when I

14:23

read this report, I was thinking.

14:25

You know, it makes a lot

14:27

of sense. If you're Kirk Cousins

14:29

and you have to approve the

14:31

destination to say, let's wait till

14:33

after the draft. I don't want

14:35

to go get traded to the

14:37

Browns and then they pull the

14:39

trigger, you know, Shador slips to

14:41

the second round and they pull

14:43

the trigger on that, you know,

14:45

it's like. Well, time only benefits

14:47

the teams that are trying to

14:50

add Kirk Cousins as their starter.

14:52

because it wears down the demands

14:54

of the Falcons and how much

14:56

salary compensation. Because the last thing,

14:58

I mean the Falcons can play

15:00

hardball, but the last thing on

15:02

earth they want is backup crocuzzins,

15:04

legitimately, because that is a huge

15:06

problem, distraction, turmoil in the locker

15:08

room, what happens if Pinnock struggles

15:10

to start the season, all of

15:12

that stuff, that is, Kirkuddins will

15:14

not play for the Falcons this

15:17

year. So. Depending, that I

15:19

am fairly sure of. So whether

15:21

it's the Browns or Steelers, see

15:23

what happens in the draft, the

15:25

Browns probably not gonna draft a

15:27

quarterback. Steelers very well could move

15:29

forward with a rookie. They might

15:31

be. Zach Moss, back to the

15:33

Bangles, restructured deal. It was a

15:35

season ending neck injury. It was

15:37

scary. The chance of him playing

15:39

at full capacity, I wouldn't say

15:41

it's guaranteed yet. It's not a

15:43

guarantee, but this one is, I

15:45

think it is interesting that. They

15:47

went back and I'm assuming that

15:49

Moss is taking less money, something

15:51

like that, to stay on the

15:53

team, where the Bengals had been

15:55

doing multiple visits with high profile

15:57

running backs. I wonder if they

15:59

were under the assumption like well,

16:01

like Moss won't be okay, we

16:03

don't like the money anyways, but

16:05

maybe they've kind of patched that

16:07

up and Bengals will not be

16:09

on running back watch, who knows?

16:11

We shall see, we're going to

16:13

take a very quick break. Oh,

16:15

by the way, Patrick Mahomes did

16:17

say he wants to get back

16:19

to explosive passing plays. Yeah, we

16:21

all want you to get back

16:23

there. Does he have Tyricu? He

16:25

doesn't have Tyree Kill but last

16:27

year he didn't have Hollywood Brown

16:29

and Rushie Rice for you know

16:31

the majority of it. So he's

16:33

got a he's got a competent

16:35

wide receiver group this upcoming season.

16:38

I mean if you've got Rushie

16:40

Rice and Xavier Worthy looked good

16:42

towards the second half of last

16:44

year and Hollywood Brown. Worthy would

16:46

be the key to the deep

16:48

passing game. Yes. So it'll be

16:50

interesting. I think every fantasy player

16:52

is kind of like, show us.

16:54

All right, we'll take a break

16:56

and then it's right into the

16:58

draft predictions for all the major

17:00

offensive players that we expect to

17:02

see drafted over the next couple

17:04

of days. Well,

17:28

that's new. That one's not for

17:30

you guys. That's new. Plenty of

17:32

people are very excited right now.

17:34

All right. I mean, I think

17:36

it's for us. We liked it.

17:38

It was fine. It was a

17:40

little different. Yeah, I think the

17:42

inspiration is unknown for us. You're

17:44

scared. No, of course it is.

17:46

Yeah, we're on cultured swine. Yeah,

17:48

it was probably some video game

17:50

that was released only in one

17:52

country in 1988. What? Look, last

17:54

year we competed on the NFL

17:56

draft 2024 predictions. I'm gonna be

17:58

honest. I asked you guys today

18:00

who won. Like, I thought I

18:02

won last year. You didn't. I

18:04

didn't. You guys got sick. You

18:06

guys tied with six correct predictions.

18:08

For this game? That's a lot.

18:10

And I had five. Which I

18:12

think on a normal year. I

18:14

feel like that would have won.

18:16

Yeah. But you guys, you guys

18:18

outpaced me. So. away we go

18:20

the quarterback position will start there

18:22

cam ward we all have him

18:24

going number one of the titans

18:26

sometimes you get a layup one

18:28

you know one of all of

18:30

our answers last year was you

18:32

know Caleb at the 101 so

18:34

we'll move on to the sports

18:36

book line is minus 20,000 to

18:38

go which if you if you're

18:40

not sure what that means yeah

18:42

that means if you want to

18:44

make a hundred dollars on your

18:46

bet you would have to and

18:48

get it correct you would have

18:50

to pay twenty thousand dollars and

18:52

risk that to get a hundred

18:54

bucks yeah yeah um shadour sanders

18:56

let's let's move forward we got

18:59

we'll talk about sanders dart and

19:01

mill row in our predictions this

19:03

shadour is a really tough one

19:05

his decay sports book line is

19:07

ten and a half is the

19:09

over under on where he's gonna

19:11

go that's down a little bit

19:13

more from where it was a

19:15

few weeks ago shadour like back

19:17

at the combine was the odds

19:19

on favorite for the number one

19:21

pick. Like in terms of the

19:23

markets. There was a lot of

19:25

like Camward versus Sanders who would

19:27

get the knot. Yeah, and then

19:29

it was, okay, it feels like

19:31

Camward is the one, but will

19:33

Shador go two or three? You

19:35

know, and I know every patriot

19:37

fan out there. was really really

19:39

really really hoping that Shador was

19:41

a second or third pick you

19:43

know to one of those two

19:45

teams ahead of them because you've

19:47

got Abdul Carter and you've got

19:49

Travis Hunter they want one of

19:51

those guys I got to get

19:53

them. I'm going to go with

19:55

the Saints. You guys went with

19:57

the same team. I'm going with

19:59

the Saints, whether it's at nine

20:01

or whether they are persuaded to

20:03

move back a couple of spots

20:05

by Dallas moving up, Chicago moving

20:07

up, even the Colts maybe for

20:09

a tight end. I think the

20:11

Saints are in too desperate a

20:13

situation to not pull the trigger

20:15

in the first round. and fix

20:17

the situation that looks very broken,

20:19

Derek Carr, the shoulder. You know,

20:21

some people don't think that they

20:23

like Sanders very much. I think

20:25

that when push comes to shove,

20:27

they'll take him. Yeah, I mean,

20:29

I've got them going to a

20:31

team that, did you change yours,

20:33

Mike? We both had these. Mike

20:35

and I both have them going

20:37

to the Steelers. There's a team

20:39

who has about as bad a

20:41

depth chart at quarterback as humanly

20:43

possible. they have good wide receivers

20:45

now with you know as as

20:47

of today no draft trades happening

20:49

decay metcalfe and George Pickens on

20:51

the roster and it's funny because

20:53

i watched an interview recently wishadore

20:56

Sanders who's talking about the great

20:58

tandems and he the way he

21:00

was talking about those two and

21:02

he's like he's like whoever that

21:04

quarterback is it's gonna be really

21:06

happy It's kind of like when

21:08

Cam Ward said that Tajj Spears

21:10

and Tony Pollard are the best

21:12

two running backs in football. Exactly.

21:14

Did, Andy, did you say his,

21:16

the line? It has moved. Yeah,

21:18

I said it was 10 and

21:20

a half, it's now 14 and

21:22

a half. So it is. Just

21:24

checking in, looks like 15. It's

21:26

moving down. But yeah, I've got

21:28

him to the Steelers with their,

21:30

with their first round pick at

21:32

21. Well, flippity, floppy, Mike. Jackson,

21:34

Mike. I definitely believe the Steelers

21:36

will take a quarterback. We just

21:38

have different ones. Jason, I like

21:40

yours as well. You have the

21:42

Giants. Yeah, I think that I'm

21:44

not as high on Jackson Dart

21:46

as a lot of people, so

21:48

I have him slipping a little

21:50

further. behind Sanders. And if that's

21:52

the case, you could either get

21:54

to the New York Giants pick

21:56

at 34 or they're at the

21:58

very top of the second. So

22:00

I think it would be likely

22:02

and probably smart to get that

22:04

fifth year option to trade up

22:06

into the back of the first

22:08

and grab your quarterback there. So

22:10

I've got him as a giant.

22:12

So three different picks there Steelers

22:14

for myself, Giants for Jason, the

22:16

Saints for Mike and then Jaylin

22:18

Millrow. This one's much more of

22:20

a prayer. Yeah, a dart throw

22:22

a dart throw for all of

22:24

us because it's not going to

22:26

be a first round pick most

22:28

likely and I'm going to go

22:30

with the Dolphins. I think maybe

22:32

a player that they can bring

22:34

in and have ready knowing that

22:36

two can go down in a

22:38

moment's notice. That would be great.

22:40

I really do hope that they

22:42

address their backup quarterback position. I

22:44

have them being a backup quarterback

22:46

as well going to the Jets,

22:48

someone that can run the same.

22:50

uh... system is just in fields

22:53

being that mobile runner if fields

22:55

were to go down and also

22:57

you know plan for the future

22:59

because fields might not be it

23:01

yeah i i originally did have

23:03

the jets as well and it

23:05

like you know the millros play

23:07

style of him being a rider

23:09

millros place oh baby oh i

23:11

was like did i say it

23:13

no no rose place yeah we're

23:15

gonna stick yeah uh... the both

23:17

of it and i were like

23:19

did we did we are predicting

23:21

Millrow's place right now. We, oh

23:23

man, this is so good. Yeah.

23:25

We talked about a good amount

23:27

on this week's dynasty podcast of,

23:29

I'm getting a little more excited

23:31

about the potential for Jaylon Millrow

23:33

long term, not an immediate start

23:35

because I don't think he's going

23:37

to go in the first round,

23:39

but I'm sending him in the

23:41

second round to the Cleveland Browns.

23:43

The Rams is also another interesting

23:45

place was in Los Angeles. So

23:47

if you know like Jason this

23:49

is very astute with Matthew Stafford

23:51

they got to start playing No,

23:53

it's not about that. Well, what's

23:55

funny is I was genuinely between

23:57

the Jets and the Rams. Those

23:59

were the two teams that I

24:01

was deciding on. Are you formally

24:03

changing it? I'm going to formerly

24:05

change. I'm going to the Rams.

24:07

I'm going to Millrow's place. Let's

24:09

go. I hope you have Rams

24:11

later. Just totally screwed everything up

24:13

for you. No. All right, we've

24:15

got. Runningbacks and this is where

24:17

we get juicy. It's exciting because

24:19

it's it's rare when a player

24:21

is expected to go in the

24:23

top 10 and we have three

24:25

different destinations, but that's the way

24:27

it is right now. Ashen Gente,

24:29

I believe it. Oh man, you're

24:31

buying it. I think he's going

24:33

to Jacksonville at pick five. Which

24:35

I was terrified to put in

24:37

here. Then I saw Mr. Pat

24:39

Schrager come out with his mock

24:41

this morning, which also had him

24:43

to Jacksonville to Jacksonville. So I

24:45

will. I'm gonna stick with it.

24:47

Almost everyone has the jaguars focused

24:50

on offense and I think because

24:52

of Liam Cohn coming in they

24:54

want a skill position addition so

24:56

whether they take the the tight

24:58

end the wide receiver the running

25:00

back it makes sense I just

25:02

I don't believe that they'll I

25:04

don't I don't think they'll do

25:06

it with Travis ETN and take

25:08

bigs to be on the roster

25:10

I'm gonna take the the next

25:12

team So this will be like

25:14

the domino for us right because

25:16

it affects what other teams have

25:18

availability. I'm going to take them

25:20

going to the Raiders and I

25:22

am saying both the jags and

25:24

the Raiders are doing smoke coverage.

25:26

They're trying to get other teams

25:28

to move up for Ashton Gente

25:30

who is like the bell of

25:32

the ball for the running back

25:34

position but I have them making

25:36

it to 10 and the Chicago

25:38

Bears taking Ashton Gente and the

25:40

people with the 101 in your

25:42

rookie drafts are. They

25:44

are so excited. Yes, Josh. I'm

25:46

talking about you of those three

25:48

to chime in Josh of those

25:51

three destinations Jaguar are you listing

25:53

the show? I'm just trying to

25:55

just save it. Okay. Of those

25:57

Jaguars Raiders bears bears order those

25:59

for fantasy. I mean bears would

26:01

be one. Bears Raiders jags probably.

26:04

I think so. I would put

26:06

it to. But excellent excellent excellent.

26:08

Yeah. He's gonna be fine. You're

26:10

gonna hope it doesn't work out

26:12

your way. You're gonna hope you

26:14

will see if you're later how

26:17

I have it working out. You'd

26:19

be very excited. All right we're

26:21

moving to who's next. O'Mararian Hampton.

26:23

I went with Dallas. Oh, are

26:25

you going? Are you going 12?

26:27

I think so. Oh man, you

26:30

Hampton people. I love Hampton. I'm

26:32

taking the, I'm taking the Gibbs

26:34

surprise angle here. His over under

26:36

is 19 and a half. Yeah,

26:38

so that'd be very under. I

26:40

think Ginty's gonna be gone and

26:43

I think, look, no one saw

26:45

Gibbs going at 12 or what

26:47

was it? Was it 12? 11?

26:49

That sounds right. To the lions.

26:51

I think when push comes to

26:53

shove for the cowboys. They

26:56

don't have a running game. And I

26:59

think this is going to be too

27:01

tantalizing. And I think it's the right

27:03

pick. They are going to take a

27:06

running back and they're going to take

27:08

a wide receiver and they're going to

27:10

try to find one that is good.

27:12

You know, a real difference maker. If

27:15

it wasn't for the depth of running

27:17

back in this draft class and the

27:19

dearth. So if you could find a

27:21

word that starts with D. that means

27:24

shallow, that'd be great. Of the wide

27:26

receiver position, I think they're going to

27:28

take a wide receiver with the first

27:31

round. Grab one later. I've got them

27:33

dropping to the Broncos. An inadequate supply

27:35

or scarcity. Okay, that works. That works

27:37

exactly right. Okay. So the dearth of

27:40

wide receivers in this draft class, I

27:42

think we'll take the Cowboys drafting one

27:44

in the first. I'm going to take

27:46

the Broncos at one in the first.

27:49

I'm going to take the Broncos at

27:51

20. His over under is 19 and

27:53

a half because that's that's right where

27:55

like will he go and I have

27:58

him going still in the first round

28:00

I got him going to the Manders

28:02

but contractually I cannot predict O'Marion Hansen

28:05

to be drafted before Trevian Henderson. Due

28:07

to your obligation to... To Henderson, yes.

28:09

To Henderson. Which you have... That's what

28:11

we're talking about next. I'll just jump

28:14

in. I have him going to the

28:16

Broncos. I do too. Yeah. I have

28:18

the Broncos for Trevian. He's such a

28:20

perfect fit for what they want to

28:23

do on offense. He's a perfect fit

28:25

there. I think this could be where

28:27

you guys win over me if you

28:30

get to the Broncos. I don't think

28:32

he'll go past him But Mike where

28:34

I said I think you're gonna like

28:36

how mine goes I have the Gibbs

28:39

surprise that Andy brought up where it

28:41

was really shocking when it was at

28:43

12. I've got the Bears assuming Gente

28:45

is not on the board I think

28:48

the bears at 10 would consider Travion

28:50

Henderson, even though that's way higher than

28:52

where he's projected to go. That's how

28:55

I have it going. A surprise top

28:57

10 pick Travion Henderson. If the most

28:59

explosive, the highest explosive rush rate in

29:01

the entire class. So that's, yeah, place

29:04

of 10 or more yards. If I

29:06

had projected, if I didn't send Genty

29:08

to the bears, if I had done

29:10

him, you know, you know, five or

29:13

six, Henderson would have gone at 10

29:15

for me too. All right, Quinchon, Judkins,

29:17

I am going to the Giants, Jason.

29:20

I've got him, I'm going to the

29:22

Cowboys in the second round. Mike? I'm

29:24

going Raiders second round. Okay, there you

29:26

go. Caleb Johnson, we do have a

29:29

shared name here, myself and Jason. See

29:31

Caleb Johnson arriving on Cincinnati's offensive. You

29:33

guys clearly were not up to speed

29:35

with the Zach Moss news. I saw

29:38

the Zach Moss news did not scare

29:40

me. Don't care. You clearly, this is

29:42

Zachary Moss. You clearly aren't up to

29:45

date with the fact that Caleb Johnson

29:47

is a Cincinnati boy, born and raised

29:49

a fan of the Bangles, wants to

29:51

go home. They've brought in a couple

29:54

top 30 options. I think Caleb Johnson

29:56

and Tucker. Yeah, did not realize that

29:58

the team you want to go to

30:00

is the place that you get drafted.

30:03

When you are a family run organization

30:05

like the Bangles, it's like, oh, that's

30:07

a hometown kid. Oh, man. I can't

30:10

wait to draft him and not pay

30:12

him later on. Exactly. I'm going with

30:14

Pittsburgh who has made several visits with

30:16

running backs, but I think that they

30:19

will. They can wait a little bit

30:21

into the back of the second or

30:23

maybe even a little later. All right,

30:25

Cameron. It's time. Oh man. I like

30:28

you went with the Bangles. I was

30:30

not aware of the Zach Moss news.

30:32

Yeah, but this is Bangles in the

30:35

sixth round. This is Bangles. This is

30:37

Camp Scadaboo falling in the draft when

30:39

I do not think he should. He

30:41

should not. But I think that he's

30:44

going to be a value pick for

30:46

whoever wants him in the Bangles. I

30:48

should have learned Zach Moss news off

30:50

the news. That would have done the

30:53

best service for... the show i have

30:55

the chargers the new home for camp

30:57

scattaboo oh man i would love that

31:00

that would be if that happened i

31:02

can't imagine any other player going to

31:04

any other destination where i would be

31:06

more excited you know what pick it

31:09

would be oh that's good enough for

31:11

me or later probably beyond that if

31:13

they took him in the second round

31:15

that's what it be yeah i have

31:18

him going to the giants they're looking

31:20

for a bruising First and second I'm

31:22

back now, Cam's great. As a past

31:25

catcher. That's why I took Judkins there.

31:27

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Makes sense. All

31:29

right. So chargers, giants, bangles for Camp

31:31

Scataboo. We are going to take a

31:34

quick break and then we'll talk about

31:36

whiteouts. All

31:44

right, it's time to talk about draft

31:46

predictions wide receivers Travis hunter browns browns

31:48

browns browns We all have him going

31:50

at number two to the browns and

31:52

it seems like he's gonna be a

31:55

wide receiver Yes, it does man. He

31:57

sure hopes so he should be and

31:59

yeah, look if Kurt Cousins goes to

32:01

the Browns. You've got some, you've got

32:03

some weapons there. He's, he's too good.

32:05

I mean, three months ago, it was

32:07

basically a foregone conclusion that he was

32:10

a cornerback and might cycle in as

32:12

a wide receiver because that's the only

32:14

thing that's ever happened in history. But

32:16

he is just, he's too good at

32:18

wide receiver to not play wide receiver

32:20

for your team. All right, I might

32:23

make up a live pivot here. Oh.

32:25

But why don't you guys talk about

32:27

where. Tetoro McMillan's gonna go. Teamak has

32:29

been falling in a lot of mock,

32:31

sometimes being the first wide receiver off

32:33

the board still in the 20s, and

32:36

that could happen, but because the wide

32:38

receiver draft class doesn't have a lot

32:40

of studs, I think teams are going

32:42

to overdraft, and I've got them going

32:44

to the jets at seven. That is

32:46

spicy. Seven? Yeah, I mean, it's it's

32:49

one of those picks where you've got

32:51

Garrett Wilson, I was looking at their

32:53

depth chart, and it's like... You got

32:55

Garrett Wilson and oh, I'm hot they

32:57

need garbage. They absolutely need and you

32:59

could see Tyler Warren going here I

33:01

Really hope he doesn't he that would

33:04

just that would make me very sad

33:06

Because I don't think he'd be good

33:08

here. I think he should go to

33:10

the Jets, but anyways, I've got T-Mac

33:12

I'd I really thought for just the

33:14

longest time like I'm gonna send him

33:17

to the cowboys. It makes so much

33:19

sense at 12. They really need another

33:21

wide receiver a guy who can complement

33:23

CED lamb But I think that the

33:25

Cowboys are going to fall in love

33:27

with a different trait. So I got

33:30

T-Mac dropping a bit and the Green

33:32

Bay Packers... At 23? Changing though their

33:34

strategy of like they don't take wide

33:36

receivers this high but I think that

33:38

that all the chatter out of the

33:40

team of we need a true number

33:43

one wide receiver they're going to go

33:45

get one. I could see if he

33:47

were to get to the Packers pick

33:49

and I don't think he will but

33:51

if he gets there I could definitely

33:53

see that's what they need this like

33:55

real kind of alpha prospect. It's very

33:58

interesting to me. I went charges. The

34:01

pick right before the packers the

34:03

chargers at 22 so Mike and I

34:05

have them dropping a little bit

34:07

Yep, okay Matthew Golden you guys have

34:09

a shared team. Yeah, this was

34:11

what I was talking about of the

34:14

cowboys are gonna see the speed

34:16

so you have the cowboys taking Matthew

34:18

Golden over T-Mac I do see

34:20

if they were both there in mine

34:22

because I have T-Mac going at

34:24

seven That's why I've got him taking

34:27

Matthew Golden I think if they

34:29

were both on the board they'd go

34:31

T-Mac They should. This is this

34:33

is more of a left field one

34:35

for me. I don't mind it.

34:37

I'm gonna go to the Lions. I

34:40

think Matthew Golden to the Lions.

34:42

You've got a contract situation coming up

34:44

for Jamieson Williams. Trade rumors? Yeah,

34:46

trade rumors. Trade rumors. I think it's

34:48

all it's all related. What's the

34:50

long-term future for him on that organization?

34:53

Matthew Golden, it could happen. So

34:55

I think the Lions. I'll make the

34:57

pick there. Amika. I'm going Raiders.

34:59

Oh, that would be great. So you

35:01

have him dropping hitting his over

35:03

on because he's 29 and a half.

35:06

He is 29 and a half.

35:08

He's not that old. Nice. You, sorry.

35:10

You can, yeah, that's fine. Right

35:12

now they have picked 37, I think

35:14

they could use, they could move

35:16

up as well, but I have a

35:19

booka to the Raiders. I've got

35:21

him still going in the first round

35:23

to the Texans. The loss of...

35:25

Stefan Diggs and the current health with

35:27

Tank Del, they need another weapon. Yeah.

35:30

Of course they need office belonging

35:32

to. Yeah, every time I kept putting

35:34

one of these wide receivers of

35:36

the Texans, like, they need a, they

35:38

need to play it. And like,

35:40

oh, they need to fix other stuff.

35:43

I got Abuka going to the

35:45

chargers in the first round. Just so

35:47

slightly under his 29 and a

35:49

half. And then we've got Luther Burden

35:51

the third. I have

35:54

the Titans as his home. I

35:56

think the Titans. Oh, Cam Ward.

35:58

Yeah, they're gonna be wide receivers.

36:00

They're going to give Camward somebody.

36:02

And so this is my pick

36:04

of the somebody that they're going

36:06

to give him. Makes sense. Jason,

36:08

I like this pick for, you

36:10

know, your selection here. It was

36:12

tempting with Golden or somebody else.

36:14

You were at the 49ers. I

36:17

went with the 49ers as kind

36:19

of the debo light replacement. They

36:21

need wide receivers there with Brandon

36:23

Ayuk's injury, debo gone. So yeah,

36:25

and I think he can slip

36:27

to them in the second. And

36:29

then Sean McVeay. He's got Devante

36:31

Adams, they got Puka, they need

36:33

a guy who can go there

36:35

and be a slot player, the

36:37

replacement for Cooper Cup. So I

36:39

got the Rams figuring out a

36:41

way to get burden on the

36:43

team. All right, it tied in,

36:46

Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland could

36:48

both, they could both be really,

36:50

top 10 picks. They could both

36:52

be top 10 picks. In fact,

36:54

Mike. Thanks, Brock Bowers. Mike, you

36:56

have these two guys have got

36:58

to be just calling up Brock,

37:00

Brock, be like, dude. Thank you

37:02

so much for what you did

37:04

last year. They're hot and bothered

37:06

about both of these guys. And

37:08

Mike, you have picked seven. Yeah,

37:10

I got Warren going inside the

37:12

top 10 for sure, because I

37:15

got him going to the Jets.

37:17

I could see it. I was

37:19

tempted. I went cults. Jason, you

37:21

went cults as well. Yes, sir.

37:23

Which is what? Pick right now,

37:25

12? No. 14. Okay. And then

37:27

Colston Loveland. I took a shot

37:29

here. Oh, I think I think

37:31

these these Mark Andrews discussions are

37:33

not You know, there's smoke fire

37:35

Mark Andrews says he expects to

37:37

be on the ravens. Yeah, that's

37:39

a great great endorsement Don't you

37:41

put that evil on me if

37:44

I'm taking the ravens if they

37:46

trademark Andrews Please don't draft a

37:48

replacement. Because I've got Isaiah likely.

37:50

Just let the man shine. Give

37:52

him his time in the sun.

37:54

I honestly, I'm going to be

37:56

wrong on this pick. He's just

37:58

not going to fall as far

38:00

back as where the ravens are.

38:02

If they could move up a

38:04

few picks, maybe. He'll probably go

38:06

higher. got him going a few

38:08

picks higher to the chargers who

38:10

really do need another offensive pass

38:13

catcher. If the big, you know,

38:15

if TMac and those type of

38:17

wide receivers are off the board,

38:19

they can fill it in with

38:21

Colston Loveland. Mike's just going to

38:23

be right on both of these

38:25

guys. I have the colds taking

38:27

the second option. It's going to

38:29

be worn at seven and Loveland

38:31

at 14. I like this confidence.

38:33

I don't know why I'm picking

38:35

these other names. Because it's fun.

38:37

I think Kyle put some stats

38:39

in there, but my live pivot

38:42

might have messed them up a

38:44

little bit. But according to Kyle,

38:46

based on the current odds for

38:48

all of these players, Jason has

38:50

the highest odds to win at

38:52

37%. I'm not surprised. We call

38:54

him chalk around here. And then

38:56

Mike at 33% I've hit 31%

38:58

and there you go. You like

39:00

that nickname? You've been surgeon for

39:02

a nickname for a nickname for

39:04

years. That seems good. Chalk. Chalk.

39:06

Chalk. Chalk is a bad name.

39:08

That's not a great name. No.

39:11

Chalk. Get over here, Chalk. Let's

39:13

not have that one stick. Double's

39:15

duff. It's not relevant anymore. Yeah.

39:17

You're only single stuff. We're searching.

39:19

Yeah. Okay. There you go. We've

39:21

got a draft coming up shortly.

39:23

39:35

39:37

the word out on the live

39:40

stream. Look, if you need a

39:42

party catered, something to eat, he's

39:44

got a great way to do

39:46

it. Yeah, yeah. It was one

39:48

of the greatest things ever happened.

39:50

Normally when an employee steals $2,000

39:52

plus dollars from you, it's not

39:54

a good thing. It was the

39:56

greatest thing that could have ever

39:58

happened. We were only able to

40:00

give him crap on slack from

40:02

Chicago, but I just kept hearing

40:04

from Andy. You know, Andy's very

40:06

empathetic and he's just like, the

40:09

guys here are destroying him. He

40:11

was being, he's in a sweaty

40:13

puddle. He was being destroyed. And

40:15

I've just never been more proud

40:17

of the team. Oh my gosh.

40:19

Then when they were. Oh, there

40:21

wasn't a, I didn't hear the

40:23

AI song. There was a quote

40:25

from the girlfriend that we can't

40:27

share on this podcast. Yeah, his

40:29

girlfriend was not compassionate in the

40:31

traditional sense. She did the right

40:33

thing. She was honest. Al Borlin

40:35

made an AI song that's not,

40:38

you know, it was well done.

40:40

It was a bop. I mean,

40:42

look, it's not appropriate. So we

40:44

can't play it. Yeah, well. 48

40:46

orders on the company's time is

40:48

not appropriate. Oh, it's not inappropriate.

40:50

Oh, yeah. I mean, there you

40:52

go. Maybe we'll share it on

40:54

social at some point. Let me

40:56

ask you a couple other quick

40:58

draft questions before we close it

41:00

out because I'm just curious. Is

41:02

there people want to know who

41:04

we want Arizona to take? I

41:07

think it's a good destination because

41:09

his comp to me has always

41:11

been between like, like when I've

41:13

watched him, it's a James Connor

41:15

or a Marchion Lynch type of

41:17

play style. And so if we

41:19

already have a team that kind

41:21

of fits his style of play,

41:23

it would be nice to have

41:25

him like be next in line.

41:27

The issue with that is, I

41:29

really believed in Trey Benson. Like,

41:31

I don't want that mess. That

41:33

sounded like a past tense statement.

41:36

That was a believed yeah, so

41:38

you no longer believe I What

41:40

does try Benson not have that

41:42

been Senate has? Oh that being

41:44

a tight end like being a

41:46

tight end if you don't do

41:48

a bunch your first year that's

41:50

okay also you got to see

41:52

Trey Benson yeah we were disappointed

41:54

by what we saw I saw

41:56

plays from him yeah I just

41:58

it's you guys wanted him to

42:00

take over and James Connor he's

42:02

not about that that is correct

42:05

he's like no thank you I

42:07

was saying of for I don't

42:09

I wish I saw more out

42:11

of Benson but a draft pick

42:13

of Camp Scataboo is not a

42:15

full declaration of whoops on Benson

42:17

but it's I would just I

42:19

would love starting that letter. So

42:21

he loved for Scataboo to be

42:23

a day two. Here's your silver

42:25

lying on Trey Benson for what

42:27

it's worth. And I don't I

42:29

don't think the carnals take a

42:31

running back because of it. But

42:34

I think the team really likes

42:36

Trey Benson. He still he still

42:38

ran for 4.6 a carry. He

42:40

was hurt two different times during

42:42

the year. Wow. That's so much

42:44

higher than I remember. So he

42:46

actually he had plays. He flashed

42:48

at times. It was just his

42:50

utilization was so small. He only

42:52

had 63 carries on the year.

42:54

We just didn't get to see

42:56

a lot of him because he

42:58

was hurt. I guess what I'm

43:00

remembering is like week two. Well,

43:03

maybe that's what's standing on my

43:05

head. You mean the 11 week

43:07

carries for 10 yards? Exactly. Yeah,

43:09

it wasn't great. It's week two

43:11

11 carries here. I know it's

43:13

week two 11 carries here. I

43:15

know that was the blowout game

43:17

against the RAM. You know he

43:19

was 5.5 a carry from that

43:21

point on in the whole season.

43:23

All right, we're back. Is

43:26

there any blockbuster trades you want

43:28

to see happen? Anybody wants to

43:30

move right away? I certainly want

43:32

Kirk. George Pickens. You want George

43:34

Pickens gone. Do you have DK

43:36

MacF? Is that one? No, I

43:38

have George Pickens. Oh, okay. I

43:41

want him to a team that

43:43

is going to adequately throw the

43:45

ball. I want Kirk Cousins to

43:47

become a starter in the NFL

43:49

because if he is a starter

43:51

after the draft, then that just

43:53

helps more wide receivers for fantasy.

43:55

That's a huge one that I

43:58

would love to see. What about

44:00

you Andy? Any any any dreams

44:02

floating around in there? I mean,

44:04

I'd like to see Mark Andrews

44:06

traded for very little. Oh, you

44:08

just watched him. You do, you

44:10

hate Mark Andrews. It's so weird.

44:12

I just want to trade him

44:15

for nothing. I just want him

44:17

out of the league. Like a

44:19

seventh rounder and then have the

44:21

team cut him immediate. I want

44:23

it publicly acknowledged that it's done.

44:25

It's not done. He's 29 years

44:27

old. He's so done. He's so

44:29

done. You're going to leave the

44:32

burger on so long you're not

44:34

even going to like the bite.

44:36

I mean, this coming from Mr.

44:38

Well done over here. I've seen

44:40

new order burgers. Not order well

44:42

done burgers. Oh yeah, you burn

44:44

those things to a kriff. Medium

44:47

well burger. What's wrong with that

44:49

is a normal burger. Medium well

44:51

might as well be charred. Medium

44:53

well is the standard. Well, that's

44:55

the standard. Yes, it is. Medium

44:57

is the standard. Yes, it is.

44:59

Medium is the standard. Not for

45:01

a burger, no. Medium. No? Yeah,

45:04

yeah, versus medium well. Yeah, little

45:06

pink. I want a little pink.

45:08

That's medium well. Medium well is

45:10

not a little pink. Yes, it

45:12

is. I'll go medium rare, brother.

45:14

There's no pink in a well-done.

45:16

Just slap that meat up. Grind

45:18

it up. That's all I need.

45:21

You don't need to cook it.

45:23

Just make sure. I'll bite a

45:25

live cow. You want your burger

45:27

done a little bit. Okay, well,
