Transcript

00:00I was checking this out, Leroy.

00:01I was perusing around the old internet.

00:04And some people have mock drafts out already, which is funsies.

00:10So Yahoo Sports, they have their mock draft for the first few games here of the college season, NFL season.

00:20So let's see where everybody's at.

00:22And I was like, I open up.

00:25I'm like, all right, let's see what they got over here.

00:27I wasn't even going for anything.

00:30In particular, I was actually kind of curious.

00:31I was kind of curious where Carson Beck was in their thing.

00:35And I actually get to number one.

00:39And Ruben Bain.

00:40They have the New Orleans Saints taking Ruben Bain.

00:43Ruben Bain Jr., number one overall, which, man, I mean, he's been awesome this year.

00:49There's no doubt about it.

00:50But it's been, it's pretty incredible.

00:53The early buzz is already talking like this dude, number one player in the NFL draft,

00:59which, man, what a, what a, what a strong feather in the cap that would be to the Canes

01:04if they got two number one picks overall.

01:07Then the last team to do that was USC?

01:11I don't know.

01:13Not sure.

01:13I would, I would think.

01:18I'm not sure the last team to do it.

01:20But I was like.

01:20No, you know what?

01:21It's back-to-back Heismans.

01:23I don't know if they both went one.

01:24Pretty crazy.

01:25Oklahoma did that.

01:27What?

01:28Kyler and Baker?

01:29Yeah.

01:30Oh, they went, they went, yeah.

01:32And that would be more recent anyway.

01:35But, yeah, they said, this is from, who the hell is this author?

01:38Charles McDonald and Nate Tice.

01:41They say, uh, Ruben Bain started his college career strongly as a freshman for an early

01:45calf injury, led to an up and down sophomore campaign, started number 17 on the preseason

01:50big board.

01:51He has done nothing but launch up the rankings to the top spot of this mock draft.

01:56Bain's build and power reminds us of Brandon Graham.

02:00Uh, he can align and affect the game across the defensive line.

02:03He plays with a great motor light on his feet, man.

02:07He is, he is, he is the best player in the country this season.

02:10I think would have given him, huh?

02:13Oklahoma was also the last school to have back-to-back number ones.

02:16Baker and Kyler.

02:17Yeah.

02:17There you go.

02:18So, I would, I would say this.

02:21The thing that separates him from any other player at his position is not only his athletic

02:30ability, but the fact that that guy has a motor on him, he's caught interceptions because

02:37of tip balls because he was hustling.

02:39He's chased down running backs, chased down quarterbacks.

02:42He's all over the field.

02:44And when you see that energy, when you see a guy playing with that level of intensity and

02:51motor, um, that's an instant game changer, an instant game changer.

02:56Uh, for your information, Vlad, they have, uh, the Jets taking Fernando Mendoza from Indiana,

03:04Miami kid, uh, with, with the number two pick.

03:08Another quarterback, huh?

03:10Another quarterback.

03:11Wait, where's like, I'm just curious.

03:14Um, I mean, he can throw the, he can throw the ball now, but I'm curious what they think

03:18of is, um, who's the Castellano?

03:22Is he too young?

03:23No, he's probably just a little small.

03:27Oh, is he small?

03:28Yeah.

03:28Oh yeah.

03:29And nothing helps your cause than getting a couple of balls batted down in a football

03:33game.

03:33Right?

03:34Yeah.

03:35They have, uh, the dolphins.

03:38This is so sad.

03:39The dolphins at number five, taking Dante Moore quarterback from Oregon.

03:47Isn't he a little tic-tac-toe?

03:48Um, now he's six, three, you're not at that level yet.

03:58Well, that's maybe one more week, but you guys actually want, you're not at that.

04:03You're not looking at, you're starting to look at college football games.

04:07Like, Hmm.

04:08Let me start looking at these games.

04:09No, I'm not.

04:10I'd never do it.

04:10You're not at that point yet.

04:11I never do it.

04:13Jets fans.

04:13We know about that.

04:14That's in another two weeks.

04:15Once, once Columbus day weekend comes and passes, that's when we're looking at all the

04:19college games and looking for possible, um, draft prospects, but you guys aren't there

04:25yet soon though, but not there.

04:29Listen, Vlad, I know that first of all, let's be clear.

04:33What?

04:35I know everybody's going to be upset if the dolphins do end up with the number fifth pick, number

04:42or five pick, they would trade that pick for additional picks and ride to or for another

04:48year because of the money next year is guaranteed.

04:52And like, don't be, don't be upset.

04:54It is the right thing to do.

04:56You need to fill a bunch of spots.

04:59Don't double up on quarterback and not be able to afford other positions.

05:04That's all I'm saying.

05:05They, uh, just for, to finish up the local ties on this mock draft that Yahoo put out,

05:11Francis Maui Noah goes 19 to the Bengals.

05:15They need help.

05:17I mean, I don't know if Maui Noah is going to last that long, so we'll see.

05:22I will say this, like there's another situation, right?

05:28You know exactly what's wrong with your team and you didn't go all out to repair it.

05:35I don't care.

05:36Huh?

05:37They're cheap.

05:38It's like, come on, man.

05:39It's the Bengals.

05:40They could have, they could have, they, listen, let me ask, ask Joe Burrow, ask that offense.

05:47Would you rather give up T Higgins and get two off offensive linemen?

05:51Or would you rather keep T Higgins?

05:53Yeah, but we talked about this last year.

05:54You said no one's doing that.

05:55Like we talked about that.

05:56I talked about that with Tyreek last year.

05:57There's no offensive linemen available.

05:59I get that.

05:59No one's trading that.

06:00Nobody's trading offensive linemen, which means that maybe you should have put at some point

06:04when you see how scarce they are, you should have probably put a little more importance

06:08into it.

06:09That's all I'm saying.

06:10I'd love to see what Ruben Bain's notebook looks like for this week.

06:13I mean, he needs to post that.

06:15I don't know.

06:16We could.

06:16I know.

06:17I know what my notebook would look like.

06:19I don't know if we could show it or, you know, it could be aired or publicly seen without

06:24violating some type of law or, yeah.

06:31He could say some crazy things right now.

06:33Yeah.

06:34And it's 730.

06:36Ooh, it's a 730 game.

06:37Oh, man.

06:38By the way, you know the coach doesn't make a schedule, right?

06:41Yes, I know that.

06:42I did say, I did clear that up after I said, you know, Mario.

06:45I was like, I don't know if Mario makes the schedule.

06:48I think, what is it?

06:49The athletic director?

06:50Yeah.

06:51Of the school.

06:51So, yeah, because I tried to, I tried to get Ward to call Miami, schedule a game with

06:58Miami.

06:59Oh, but they're brokering games.

07:02Yeah.

07:03You got to love him.

07:04I want to see you guys.

07:05But here's the problem.

07:06Here's the problem.

07:08Like a lot of these, like a lot of these, a lot of these athletic directors are trying

07:16to set up their schedule accordingly.

07:18So they have some strength of schedule.

07:19But what happens is you set your schedule up five, six years in advance, right?

07:26And the teams that you think going to be a good series end up being a dud.

07:31It's happened.

07:32But you up in Michigan would be a great series.

07:34Come on.

07:35Who doesn't want to go to Miami?

07:36But when they played us at Michigan, we always thought that the following year we were going

07:45to go down there and they said, no, their stadium's too small.

07:50That's why Bo told you guys?

07:51Bo didn't want you guys to have fun in Miami.

07:54Huh?

07:54He just didn't want you guys to go to Miami and have fun.

07:57No, you don't.

07:57It's different in college, dude.

07:58You don't get no free time.

08:01You don't?

08:02Locked on Kansas.

08:03Florida was a huge dud.

08:05Yeah, but it still feels good.

08:06Yeah, I think we played Florida State one year, and we played Florida one year, and they

08:14were all like they weren't good at the time.

08:17Wow, that's disrespectful to the OB, man.

08:19I mean, think about it, though.

08:23We could get with the extra fans that we get than you guys get at the OB.

08:28We could pay y'all.

08:29So, it actually, you know, instead of you paying us, you ain't going to pay us enough

08:35because you ain't got enough fans.

08:39So, from the financial standpoint, Miami coming up there, keep up at the time.

08:44The commitment to football wasn't like it is now.

08:48Sounds like Bo was afraid of no blocky.

08:50No, we played him.

08:52No blocky.

08:52Yeah.
