00:002-4-8-5-3-9-97-97 is the telephone number.
00:07Yesterday also, opening day in baseball,
00:11Mr. Livvy Dunn, otherwise known as Paul Skeens,
00:16pitched two-thirds of innings.
00:19Oh, my bad.
00:22Anyway, forget about that.
00:25We'll bring that up a little later in the show.
00:27You know, David, take it away.
00:36Let's get right to it, guys.
00:38We are less than a month away from the NFL draft,
00:42so we have some bold decisions that will happen in the draft,
00:49some bold predictions here for the draft.
00:51Let's see if you agree with it or not.
00:54Let's start with number 10.
00:56And I don't really consider this a big, bold decision here,
00:59but it says the Raiders will provide Mendoza with a weapon in round two.
01:04Players like Tennessee's Chris Brazell, receiver,
01:07Notre Dame's Malachi Fields, or Elijah Surratt
01:10will be options for them in the second round.
01:13That's not kind of bold, though.
01:14That's smart.
01:14Yeah, it is smart, but I'd still do more.
01:17Even though they got, what's-his-face, Linderbaum,
01:20I'd still try to bulk up the offensive line for a rookie quarterback.
01:25And see, that's why I think it is bold,
01:27because you need to protect him.
01:30So you need to surround him.
01:32You need to go out there and get him as many offensive linemen as you can,
01:36and then add the toys a little bit later.
01:39But I could easily see that, David.
01:41Malachi Fields is interesting because I've seen him as high as the first round.
01:46Yes.
01:47I've seen him in some mock drafts in like the fourth or fifth round.
01:50So big receiver from Notre Dame, Surratt, we saw him playing for Indiana.
01:57So there are receivers out there.
01:59You know me.
01:59I think there are a lot of good receivers that you can get.
02:03You don't have to waste a second-round pick.
02:05I'd rather take that second-round pick and get the best blindside tackle
02:11that you can find.
02:12Chris said there's the kid from what, Arizona State,
02:14who'll probably be available in the second round.
02:16Well, let me get to that one here because this bold one says,
02:21and that's Jordan Tyson is who you're speaking of.
02:23No, no.
02:24I'm talking about an offensive lineman.
02:25Yeah.
02:26Oh, the lineman.
02:27Okay.
02:27Yeah.
02:28I'll get to the Jordan Tyson one.
02:29He is also from Arizona State.
02:31It says Jordan Tyson gets drafted before Carnell Tate.
02:35No.
02:35No.
02:37I think Carnell Tate.
02:38I mean, you just look at the lineage from that university at that position.
02:45Now, granted, Marvin Harrison Jr. has been a little bit of a disappointment.
02:49But you know what?
02:50I wonder if it's because you put two weird people together.
02:53Yeah.
02:54And him and Kyler Murray because Marvin Harrison, he's not the, you know,
02:58you can't have two weird people.
03:00Right.
03:00But, yes, what you're saying, Stoney, the lineage,
03:03you're going to take that Ohio State.
03:04Right.
03:05You're looking at what JSN just did.
03:06Yeah.
03:07You got Chris Alavi who's been really good.
03:09Before he went, loco Michael Thomas as well.
03:13The guy I'm talking about is Max Iekinar, the offensive tackle from Arizona State.
03:20Yeah.
03:20So, that would be second round.
03:22That would be second round.
03:23There are some people have him maybe late first,
03:25but I think he's more of a second round guy early.
03:28And they'll have the first pick of the second round.
03:30So.
03:31Next one here.
03:32This one, maybe you consider bold.
03:34Maybe you don't.
03:35It says Jeremiah Love finds himself drafted in the top five.
03:39And it specifically says the Tennessee Titans.
03:43It says while they have Tony Pollard,
03:45they also have head coach Robert Sala who saw what McCaffrey did for the 49ers.
03:50And their offensive coordinator is Brian Dayball who saw what Saquon Barkley can do for him.
03:54Bingo.
03:55You know, they don't have, you know, Derrick Henry anymore.
03:58It makes sense.
03:59But, especially on this show, you don't draft a running back that high before.
04:04It's going to be interesting if they don't to see what Mike's New York Giants do.
04:09Because, you know, they have decent running backs, but you put him on that team.
04:14Scottobo's about to talk himself out the league.
04:16I know.
04:16Their wide receivers are very promising.
04:19You know, assuming neighbors gets back healthy.
04:23You got, you know, you got a running back like Jeremiah Love with Jackson Dart.
04:28You know, things look pretty good.
04:30I just don't think they would take him there.
04:32If you're the Giants, you'd be ridiculous to take him over Caleb Downs, over Sonny Stiles,
04:38over all of these people who can help your defense out.
04:41He is a running back.
04:42And you know what, David?
04:43If he doesn't go to Tennessee, he may fall.
04:46It may be like the Aaron Rodgers where he could fall into like the late 20s,
04:51maybe even going to Seattle.
04:53No, no.
04:53Well, the draft I saw this week had him going seven to the Commanders.
04:58Because here's the thing.
04:59Do you, is he a want or is he a need?
05:02For a lot of people, he's a want.
05:04He's not a need.
05:05That's why I could see him dropping all the way to Seattle.
05:07Well, they're like, well, we just got rid of our running back.
05:10We'll take him.
05:12Yes.
05:12But Tennessee could afford to do this because I don't think there's any expectation for Tennessee right now.
05:17New coach.
05:19Second year quarterback.
05:23And aren't they getting ready to go into a new stadium?
05:26Next year, yes.
05:27The thing is, though, that what everybody seems to think, and it's this argument as far as economics versus ability,
05:36that Jeremiah Love, if not the best, he's the second best player in the draft.
05:41A lot of people believe that.
05:43Yes, they do.
05:43A lot of people believe that.
05:44You all, Brenton, the New York Giants, let's get to them with a bold draft decision here.
05:49It says the New York Giants trade out of number five.
05:53It says, yes, Caleb Downs could be there, but it's smart for them to trade out of that pick,
05:59get more picks early in the process to improve the overall roster depth.
06:05And it mentions two teams here that may be a possibility depending on how far they want to fall.
06:10It says the Rams, who are at 13, the Lions, who are at 17.
06:18To move up to five?
06:19Could you see the Lions trade in with the five?
06:21And if they do, who are you going to get?
06:25Oh, you know who you're going to get?
06:27You're going to get...
06:27I think you're going to get Mauiaga, if he's still there, the offensive lineman from Miami.
06:35Right?
06:35Yeah, either that or unless you want to go D-line.
06:39But, you know, I take that back.
06:41Brad thinks his D-line is okay.
06:43So, I guess, Carnell Tate.
06:48No, they're not...
06:49Well, let me get to my next bold one.
06:52It would make sense if they would take, you know, well, Bain won't be there, but...
06:56That's costing you a first-rounder next year.
06:58Or a second, definitely.
07:00No, that's two first-rounders.
07:01I think they move up to five?
07:03Well, because you're moving from 17 to five, it probably would cost you a future first.
07:07But let me ask you this, because the next bold one here for the draft, and you mentioned them,
07:12it says, Georgia's Monroe freely emerges as offensive tackle number one, is what they believe.
07:19So, if that's the case, and the Lions are trading up from 17 to five to get him,
07:25is the extra first-round pick, the future pick, worth it to get him?
07:30No.
07:31I'm going to say no.
07:32I'm going to agree with you, Stoney.
07:34I'm going to say it's no because you didn't make moves in free agency.
07:39So, it's not like he is that last piece of the puzzle.
07:42You're going to need that first-round pick next year as well.
07:46So, there's a lot of decisions here that kind of, you know, touch and help each other.
07:51The Giants here, but maybe the Lions are trading up with that, you know, whole Monroe-Freeling situation.
07:58So, there's a lot of bold decisions here, and that is your NFL Blitz 97.1.
08:05So, let's get started.
