00:00We're here at the eighth pick with the New Orleans Saints,
00:02a team that I think could be interested in a Jeremiah Love.
00:06But really, you could probably sell me on.
00:10I do not know.
00:11I think of all the picks in the top 10,
00:14the Saints, Joe, are the one that you could sell me
00:17on the most different outcomes.
00:19I think wide receiver.
00:21I think offensive line.
00:22I think all three levels of the defense.
00:24I think everything is on the board for New Orleans.
00:27I settled on Jordan Tyson, though.
00:30As this team might think,
00:33Tyler Shuck could be a franchise quarterback.
00:35And if that's the belief,
00:37you're going to have to get him some more help
00:38in that wide receiver room.
00:39And I think Jordan Tyson can be a really, really impactful
00:42year one wide receiver.
00:44So that's where I landed ultimately with Kellen Moore,
00:47of course, their head coach, being offense first.
00:49I mean, it's right where Tett McMillan was
00:52for Carolina last year, Kev, right?
00:54Well, Tett was in eighth,
00:57and he had a fantastic first year with Bryce Young.
01:03I think New Orleans really showcased.
01:06Their defense was the strong suit
01:08at the end of the regular season.
01:10Tyler Shuck stepped up.
01:12And Kellen Moore did a fantastic job.
01:14This team may be one or two pieces away
01:17from being a contender.
01:19So what I would say truly, though, for New Orleans,
01:24and I'm very curious when these, you know,
01:25markets start to come out,
01:26this is, for me, a very much so be careful team.
01:30You know, I'm curious how...
01:32Joe, I think they could draft Reuben Bain,
01:36Sonny Stiles, Caleb Downs, Jordan Tyson,
01:39Jeremiah Love if he's there.
01:40I just think it's all on the board.
01:43I believe that for New Orleans.
01:46For Kansas City, who picks ninth,
01:49I think they'd be elated with the opportunity
01:51to draft Reuben Bain.
01:53This team needs help getting after the quarterback
01:55on the defensive side of the ball.
01:57And Reuben, now listen,
01:59you may be watching this and be like,
02:01wow, Kev, how do you not get Reuben Bain drafted earlier?
02:04It's not about what I would do.
02:06This is how the drafts work.
02:07There seems to be some worry around Reuben Bain,
02:10you know, arm length.
02:11But I think Kansas City, at nine,
02:14could just draft production
02:16and hope that that production translates, Joe.
02:19I think at nine,
02:20they would be pretty excited to get Reuben Bain.
02:24This is where you and I disagree.
02:26Okay.
02:27Because I think they would be stupid
02:30to not go all in for Jeremiah Love.
02:33But he's not on the board in this draft, pal.
02:35Well, yeah, I know in your draft,
02:40but my point, here's the thing.
02:42Yes, they get defense.
02:44Chris Jones is aging.
02:45That defense took a step back under Spagnuolo.
02:49And yes, it would help solidify that need.
02:51But again, this team,
02:53when we talk about home run hitters,
02:55they have it at the wide receiver position.
02:57They don't have it at the running back position.
02:59And when you look at Patrick Mahomes
03:01leading basically the team in rushing
03:03for the first half of the year,
03:05that's why they don't have success.
03:07That's why they're not explosive anymore.
03:09Coupled with the fact that thankfully
03:11Matt Nagy's now the OC in New York.
03:14That's another thing.
03:15But if they go defense, it's a good pick,
03:18but it's not going to move the needle.
03:19It'll help them.
03:21But their concern still,
03:23and I know it sounds crazy,
03:24they're on the offensive side of the ball though, Kevin.
03:26They needed a legitimate running back,
03:29a home run hitter.
03:31You can't just get by with Kareem Hunt
03:33and Isaiah Pacheco.
03:34I'm sorry, you can't.
03:36Yeah, I think they're certainly going to look
03:38to address the running back position, Joe.
03:40I think what would be the worry for Kansas City
03:44is it is a gamble
03:47that Jeremiah Love will be on the board at nine.
03:51I don't think any team is going to really be trading up
03:54for a running back.
03:55I think we're in a position right now
03:58where that's just not going to happen.
04:00So Joe, I tend to believe that Kansas City
04:02is going to, I think this is why we're doing this now.
04:05I think they're going to probably try and see
04:06if they can get a running back in free agency.
04:09Like, how would you feel if this team brought in
04:11Brees Hall, potentially?
04:16Brees Hall, Brees Hall's good.
04:18Doesn't excite you?
04:20He's, look, he's similar in my opinion
04:22to David Montgomery, a very productive running back.
04:25But if we're talking elite running backs,
04:28if we're talking Derrick Henry, Saquon, James Cook,
04:33I don't think he's the same type of running back.
04:36And when you see Jeremiah Love
04:38and you see the athleticism
04:40and you see the ability to catch the football
04:43out of the backfield
04:44and added dimension to the passing game
04:47that could benefit potentially Pat Mahomes,
04:50you got to go after it.
04:52You have to, when's the last time
04:54they had an elite running back, Kansas City?
04:56You have to go back years, Kevin.
