00:00I'm against drafting Ty Simpson at 16.
00:02I am against drafting Ty Simpson in the first round of this NFL draft.
00:05When we get to the second round, third round, fourth round, fifth round,
00:08obviously, I think all bets are off.
00:10I don't think Ty Simpson is falling that far,
00:12so I think his name will not be mentioned
00:13when we're talking about the Jets drafting a quarterback project,
00:16like a Drew Aller.
00:17I think that's later in the draft.
00:19Third or fourth round.
00:20But I'll tell you my reasoning, and it sucks.
00:22I hate my reasoning, but it's true.
00:24I went into the history of the NFL, and I started analyzing.
00:28I've made the argument on this radio station long before I knew you.
00:31For many years, Joe had the same argument,
00:33which is, you know what we should do?
00:35Take a quarterback every year.
00:38And you laugh, and then when you think about it,
00:40I mean, it makes sense until you find yours,
00:43but you're also wasting picks.
00:45Well, is it a waste if you're looking for the key to your future?
00:48And as we talked about earlier with those top ten teams,
00:50having a franchise quarterback is the key.
00:52So I've always said that on the radio.
00:54Joe has said that.
00:54Callers have said that.
00:55Here are the facts.
00:57Other than the Arizona Cardinals in a unique situation
01:01of Josh Rosen into Kyler Murray,
01:04do you know how many times in the last 30 years
01:07a team has taken a quarterback in the first round in back-to-back years?
01:11You'll want to guess.
01:13Twice.
01:14My research says zero.
01:16Yeah, I would say none.
01:17Even though the Commanders took two quarterbacks.
01:21In the same draft.
01:22In the same draft.
01:22Now, that was different.
01:23Hold on, the Cardinals.
01:24I just said the...
01:26I'm sorry, you said accept the Cardinals?
01:27I said outside of...
01:29Oh, my bad.
01:30It's okay.
01:30I love you.
01:31Outside of the unique situation,
01:34I also name-checked who they took of the Arizona Cardinals
01:38drafting Josh Rosen and then saying,
01:40hey, let's blow the whole thing up.
01:41We're picking number one.
01:42We're going to take Kyler Murray.
01:43It doesn't happen.
01:44Now, the argument to me could be,
01:46but Evan, they could blow it up.
01:48And they could.
01:49But my gut right now is they're not blowing it up.
01:51Like, Aaron Glenn may be gone, but Darren Mugey's going to be here.
01:54And so, I think it's unrealistic as much as I can scream into the microphone,
01:58hey, draft one this year.
02:00Draft one next year.
02:01They're not doing that.
02:02Right.
02:02And if you take that at face value that they're not doing it
02:05and you're on the fence about Ty Simpson,
02:07you're not sure about Ty Simpson,
02:09in a quarterback draft next year, that is loaded.
02:12Right.
02:12With the Jets featuring three first-round picks,
02:14potentially their own, being a top-five pick.
02:17How could you use that bullet if it's not going to be used next year,
02:21right now on a quarterback that you're not even fully sold on?
02:24So, I hate to be a prisoner of history,
02:27but I just gave you the history.
02:29It kind of matters.
02:30It never happens.
