00:00so uncle kirk to to vegas to be the mentor and maybe even starter right out of the gate
00:05the other one is malik willis to arizona quarterback needy team with a ton of cap space
00:09goes after the hottest commodity this in the free agency this offseason
00:14interesting your your uncle kirk to like say to mendoza if they draft mendoza first overall which
00:20by all accounts they will that's actually initially i'm like is he even does kirk want
00:26to be the mentor but mendoza is also a spiritual guy a connection kind of works there i went a
00:31different route i went with malik willis to the vikings because i always think the vikings have
00:36the most weapons and the quarterback would want to just step right in there and play plus your games
00:40are inside and you play one at least one other game every year inside of detroit so i go with
00:46uh with
00:47that linkage the other one mitchell trubisky to the detroit lions whoa beat a backup to jared goff
00:57miss trubisky hasn't done a whole lot of quarterback in the last couple years i think he'd be an upgrade
01:02over kyle allen uh probably doesn't cost you too much because i think people are kind of forgetting
01:06about mitchell trubisky but trubisky only plays well against the lions this also helps to make sure
01:13that he's not going to go against you but detroit has weapons and if mitch has some people around him
01:18he might actually be able to do something if uh you know the emergency break glass situation here
01:23in detroit all right so i don't want this to happen but i think kyla murray to the vikings for
01:28a veterans minimum would really scare me they already have a bunch of good weapons like justin
01:32jefferson and the other receivers and hawkinson but they got a great defense they just need something
01:36out of their offense justin jefferson with a competent mobile quarterback kevin o'connell
01:41designing offices catered to murray and his mobility and he could still throw the ball i know
01:45he's had some bad years in arizona being injured but i think under kevin o'connell's tutelage that
01:50could resurrect murray's career and they could get him at the veterans minimum i don't like that but
01:54i think it'd be perfect fit the other quarterback is malik willis to the jets i think aaron glenn has
02:00to win next year there's just no they don't coaches don't get any time anymore and it's worth the
02:05shot that malik willis can actually win them some games and get him a playoff berth maybe because he's
02:09got to win some games they don't have time for a young quarterback i don't malik willis can do it
02:12or not but that'd be the guy i got a ton of cap space yeah how's the gaming scene in
02:16minneapolis
02:16is it good oh yeah you can play online now gator so it doesn't matter you know i just want
02:21to make
02:21sure for kyler's sake yeah all right where is max crosby going to play for week one of the 2026
02:30nfl season
02:31i think it's going to suit up with the dallas cowboys i don't jerry just can't help himself he's
02:36going to go and give up some draft capital that he got back in exchange for micah parsons and throw
02:42that at the raiders i think uh i maybe some people might think the easy button is just to say
02:48the
02:48raiders but i don't i don't think he's going i don't think he's going back i think he wants out
02:51i think it's clear he wants out and the cowboys are more than willing to accommodate i've seen this
02:56script before it's just like miles garrett he will be in vegas they're not going to find a taker
03:00with the cap situation that it would cause that what you have to have to be able to take on
03:05max crosby i think the only realistic way he gets moved is if he rips up his contract and i
03:10doubt he's
03:11going to do that so i'm going to stick with vegas for max crosby i got the eagles aj brown
03:17two first
03:17round picks who says no i think the eagles are obviously ultra aggressive all the time they need
03:22a defensive end the raiders they need a play banker and draft capital i think the eagles somehow get it
03:28done again with a big name player all right what team ends up signing kenneth walker okay it's team
03:35that's a super bowl contender a team that is top two ball carriers last year are free agents it's a
03:41team that needs rb1 and it's a team with cap space i see a future adam shefter tweet that kenneth
03:47walker
03:48has signed with the kansas city chiefs oh interesting i uh i also look at a team that's got lots
03:55of cap space
03:56and this team has the most cap space in the nfl right now you look at their leading rushers last
04:00year uh accounted for 643 yards last year i'm going to go with the los angeles chargers
04:09and it's also a team that many people feel is a contending team and if you have kenneth walker
04:13in the backfield that's going to take some of that burden off of justin herbert maybe justin herbert
04:17can realize that potential i'm in the afc west as well but i'm going with the same team doug one
04:21with
04:22the chiefs i think they're clearing up cap space mahomes could use a running game canine really
04:26good running back i thought he could have handled the load all year by himself but they had charbonnet
04:30so they like to split carries over there but i think kenneth walker could be like kareem hunt was
04:34when they were you know when he was a really good running back with the chiefs i think this works
04:37out
04:37perfectly the matches up i like the chiefs
04:42all right trent williams he recently said that he would rather not go to the super bowl than go and
04:47lose
04:48quote i tell people all the time i rather not go than go and lose because the pain of losing
04:53last
04:53months i was under a rock for three to four months your thoughts on this well you see i
05:01everybody's going to have to treat this their own way so this is my thought and i would say i
05:04would
05:04disagree with that vehemently because i don't think you're you you truly know how bad you want it until
05:09you have that chance and you lose it so it should motivate you to be better you shouldn't be hiding
05:15under rocks but i'm not going to tell the big fellow what he's going to do because he kicked my
05:19ass but i i think you come back close you just want that opportunity again and and it's better to
05:26have loved have lost than never have loved at all right our perspective here is so different because
05:32it'd be totally worth the two weeks of just pinching yourself going oh my god we made it to the
05:36super
05:37bowl and if those are his authentic feelings okay fine but i'm not wired that way either uh one give
05:42me a
05:42shot at the crown and two the pain of losing could be a motivator he says three or four months
05:46under a
05:47rock i wouldn't be under a rock i'd be how do i change it how do we how do we
05:52how do we take that
05:53next step and win that last game i think how you answer this question is though guys if you know
05:59you're going to lose would you still want to go right and i think you're both your answers would
06:02probably be the same because i think that's how trent williams is saying if like i know i'm going to
06:05lose i'd rather just not even go i think it kind of depends on how you lose if you get
06:09blown out i think
06:10it's actually easier to take in the moment like hey we weren't good enough this other team was
06:13clearly better than us but if you blow a lead or it's a super close game all the what ifs
06:18start
06:18entering your mind what if this what if that and that stings and that could last for months like he
06:22was saying but in the end overall i think you want to go and even if you're going to lose
06:28second
06:28place sucks but it's still second place it's still better than every other team except for one
06:36all right one of the bigger stories out of the combine was reuben bain's arm length that's
06:40right it was a huge deal or not would you think this will matter when teams think about drafting
06:44bain well the data supports that guys with this kind of arm length don't make it at that position
06:50you ever heard of ricky elmore you ever hear a wyatt hubert you ever hear a tyree johnson 31 inch
06:57arms are shorter at the edge spot hasn't worked now none of those guys were considered the prospect
07:02that bain has and you got to find guys that bain is and you got to find guys in the
07:06league
07:07currently and say all right is there a comp there that works but as far as draftable process since
07:12they have measured arms these are unusually short and there hasn't been an example of it working so
07:18i think it will matter on draft day won't matter to everybody it takes 32 teams right somebody will
07:23say yes but um i'm sure some teams are scared off look there are guys i'd take ahead of reuben
07:29bain but
07:29i don't think it's because he has short arms i think you know if i look at aval reese or
07:35uh
07:35or bailey the other edge rusher yeah i'd take those guys ahead of bain but i did before i knew
07:40that bain had short arms i think bain is probably the third best pass rusher in this draft and i
07:46don't know it did it matter when he was terrorizing college football during his career that he had
07:51short arms he's going against guys going to be nfl players uh i mean i guess you can certainly make
07:57the case that it matters they've got data that backs it up and certainly the length is an advantage
08:01for an offensive lineman that's why they look for offensive linemen to have that great length
08:04but he's got speed and power that is really hard to replicate and to try to counter that if you're
08:12going to pass on reuben bain well that's good luck on because i think it's a mistake so bain's arms
08:18are historically tiny no pass rusher with arms as short as bain's has been drafted in the first round
08:23since 1999 and the nfl loves pass rushers but they're passing on guys with short arms for a reason
08:30so do i think it's a big deal for teams i actually do and i think he's a candidate to
08:34fall not necessarily
08:35fall out of the first round but i wouldn't be shocked if this guy starts falling and they start
08:38making it a big deal during the draft show
08:46give me your current mount rushmore of nfl quarterbacks i hate you this question is impossible
08:52it's really open-ended it's how you want to take it yeah i know and it's like so i went
08:57at this and i
08:57thought okay this is gonna be easy you got to come up four quarterbacks that's mount rushmore right
09:01here we go no problem well the first one was easy i came with josh allen no problem second one
09:08a little
09:08bit more thought but no no lamar jackson i'm not going to overthink this lamar jackson belongs on
09:12there and then it got really really freaking tough okay all respect due to joe burrow
09:19he can't stay healthy and until he shows he can stay healthy again and take his team
09:23where they need to be he's not on it all respect due to patrick mahomes who in the past is
09:29absolutely
09:29probably number one with a bullet on the mountain rushmore he's not he's been hurt the last couple
09:34years and suffered a serious injury last year and oh by the way looked real mortal last year too
09:40his quarterback rating would drop down to 89 hertz and darnold have both won super bowls but i'm not
09:47hitching my wagon either one of those guys my other two are matthew stafford and jared goff and it's because
09:53i mean goff in this offense he looks great stafford and his offense he looks great and he's actually
09:58one i hate king for this question wait who are you for lamar josh allen matthew stafford jared goff
10:07so my interpretation of mount rushmore is remembered historically so i had one easily and it's patrick
10:13mahomes then it's like empty space empty space and maybe stafford because i think the way you get
10:18measured remembered historically is by winning super bowls and so i'm going mahomes and if i have to fill
10:25in the empty spaces i'll fill it in with matthew stafford who's got a shot to win and then another
10:30guy that i've not given up on i think could win super bowls is josh allen and it's weird because
10:36i feel
10:37like he's got the buffalo stigma attached to him and then the fourth is obvious donald trump malik willis
10:42oh sorry malik willis somebody's gonna so like i said there was an unfair question because i didn't
10:49specify exactly like so you took it one way gator and doug you took it the other totally when i
10:53asked
10:53the question i asked it the way doug interpreted it and i'm going with mahomes for sure the other
10:59three were a little tougher super bowls do matter doug but i my second guy is lamar jackson he does
11:04have
11:04two mvps in this league one of the best quarterbacks in this league right and the other two i'm with
11:09rogers he's still in the league and matthew stafford stafford's won an mvp and a super bowl
11:14those are my four guys mahomes lamar jackson aaron rogers matthew stafford you must hate yourself too
11:18i do and there it is that concludes the y9 omaha four down around the league blitz thingy here on
11:2697.1
