00:00Vrabel has to want to make a move.

00:02He cannot be the guy that wants to take Will Campbell.

00:04Do you really believe that that's Vrabel wanting this?

00:07No.

00:07He wants to do something exciting.

00:08He wants to be aggressive.

00:10I think he wants to win, and if you have a left tackle that can protect Drake May, then I think that's okay.

00:14Yeah, if you have a left tackle.

00:16Will Campbell is not the—but Will Campbell is not the Elliott Wolfe or Robert Kraft pick.

00:20I think there are enough minds in there now that are doing the cost-benefit analysis,

00:26and they just keep landing on the safest scenario being reach in terms of evaluation of talent

00:34because people have Will Campbell anywhere between 7th best and 12th or 13th best.

00:38So how is Vrabel signing off on that?

00:39If he's got all the power—

00:40And solve a prop, but it has been such a glaring issue, Ken,

00:45since they walked off the field champions of Super Bowl 53.

00:48From the Marshall Newhouse era to the Chuck Sikorafor experience,

00:52it has been an unmitigated disaster.

00:54Well, how are you in this position that you didn't get a tackle yet,

00:57and you're taking—Mel Kuyper had—Will Campbell was the 9th best player in the draft.

01:01You're picking four, and you're taking the 9th best guy.

01:03Nick, honestly, like, I sit back and we heard everybody talk about

01:08Josh McDaniel's brother coaching Steph Diggs with the Texans.

01:12That was, like, the number one pull-out quote about why they knew they did their due diligence.

01:17Yep.

01:17So you have Tunsell just sitting there.

01:19It's just, you know, a third-round pick, I think, and money.

01:22You could have traded effectively.

01:23It was more than that.

01:24It was more—it was a whole package of picks and a lot of money,

01:26and I don't think the money had anything to do with it.

01:29I would bet you that Washington was so hyper-aggressive,

01:32because, Curtis, look to what—look to the way they went about their offseason last year.

01:35Adam Peters, Dan Quinn wasted no time in free agency.

01:40They got, like, what, 10 starters between free agency and the draft?

01:42Like, they absolutely myrtleized both.

01:45They have been hesitation-free, and following that wild run of Jaden Daniels

01:50all the way to the NFC Championship, they are pot-committed this year.

01:54And they're, like, not wearing sunglasses, not ordering a drink,

01:57not smoking cigarettes at the table.

01:58They're just like, nope, we are going after everything we want.

02:01We're overpaying for it because this is our year.

02:03But why wouldn't Casario—I understand what you're saying.

02:06That makes perfect sense.

02:07Casario has better relationship with the players—the people within the Patriots organization.

02:12Couldn't he say, hey, you want in on this?

02:14Like, and try and drive—I mean, to me, that is inexcusable.
