00:01So this is stuff that's going to be draft related. We'll have some rumors, we'll have some stories, we'll have
00:05a lot of things here.
00:07This first one here, you have to give me some time because there are layers to it with multiple teams.
00:12Let's first start here with the New York Jets. They have the number two pick and there are some rumors
00:18and reports out here.
00:19They are shifting away from Arville Reese to David Bailey.
00:23David Bailey is believed to be the better prospect there in the draft and they may be moving to him,
00:31which leads me to the other side of this because that will affect Arizona.
00:36Arizona has been rumored to want Jeremiah Love, but that seemed to be maybe trade bait for them because they
00:44want to trade out of three.
00:46And if Bailey is there at three, they could trade out. Cowboys and Rams are monitoring that trade up possibility.
00:55The Cowboys are at 12 and the Rams are at 13. There's a lot there. You can comment on any
01:00of it.
01:01So you're saying Bailey goes at two. The rumor is the Jets may be switching to Bailey, but if they
01:06don't, Bailey's there at three.
01:08Arizona trades out. Cowboys, Rams are looking for that possibility.
01:11Okay. I got you. Okay. I don't know. Trading out is always the best option because these teams are nowhere
01:18close and there's no quarterback to take.
01:20So I'm, what am I going to say? But it never happens. You got the other teams got to want
01:24what you don't want. It's kind of a faulty premise.
01:26Well, not necessarily. I mean, the Rams benefited from that before they got the, when they traded with the Falcons,
01:33they saw something that they wanted.
01:35The beauty of it is if you're Arizona, you're walking away with two first round picks because you're going to
01:40swap this year. Plus you get another one. Mike, you're right.
01:44You're you're the only team worse than you. I feel like our is the Jets and the Dolphins. So yeah,
01:50if you're the Cardinals get as much as you can. If you, for that third pick, don't take the running
01:55back.
01:56Yeah. I don't understand that part of it. I don't believe it at all. Just to be honest with you.
02:01I don't believe it. I think that's just smoke.
02:03It's because they know Tennessee wants love and they're sitting at three. It's just cheap smoke. Yeah. That's all it
02:09is.
02:09The problem is only Tennessee wants love. So nobody's going to trade up. We got to get him before Tennessee.
02:15Nah, we good.
02:17Oh, this next one is not a rumor. Just a question that I have for you that Fernando Mendoza, he
02:23has been known to be the number one prospect drafted by the Raiders for months since he won the national
02:29championship in Indiana.
02:30So does that help him? Because a report here says from Daniel Jeremiah, he reports that Mendoza has been working
02:39out with Brian Greasy and says that's not just the other thing.
02:43They are installing the Raiders offense in their workouts that help him in the process of preparing for a rookie
02:50season already installing the offense.
02:52I mean, it does. But let's be real. If you're the Raiders and you're smart, you don't throw him out
02:56there for week one.
02:57That's why you went and got Cousins. I don't know when their schedule is going to come out. It's sometime
03:02in May in May, but you're looking at the bye after the game after the bye week is when I
03:07expect to see Mendoza out there for the first time.
03:10Unless for some reason, Cousins has him at a no, but I don't think he will. So bring him along
03:17slowly. Get him learning the offense. It's smart because yeah, who else are you going to pick?
03:22I don't care. Next question. Honestly, I mean, what do you want me to say? It's April. He's a rookie.
03:29The team blows. Yeah, it's great. They're putting the offense in. He's going to just throw 50 touchdowns next.
03:35The next rumor here when it comes to the draft regarding Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, that he doesn't just go
03:43in the first round, but he lands somehow in the top 10.
03:47Ty Simpson is becoming that player that we see every year that starts out of the first round and then
03:55he has this great workout, whether it's the combine or it's pro day.
03:58It was the pro day for him. And now everybody's starting to say, Hey, I could be the smartest person
04:03in the room and move up to get him.
04:06Somebody's going to take him in the first round, David. I don't think it'll be top 10. I think it'll
04:11be the jets with their second first round pick.
04:15I don't think he goes in the first round. He shouldn't go in the first round.
04:19I think it'll be one. It'll be the same day to an old hairspray. He'll be out there. Oh, this
04:26guy. It'll be Mel Kuyper's best player available.
04:29And some broke bleep team will take him in the top of the second round. I don't know. Whatever.
04:36I agree with you there. He will still be on the board. Everyone will be talking about him going into
04:41day to someone will trade up.
04:43Mel's top five. Well, maybe, maybe we'll put it on the board because the way people are talking, I think
04:49somebody is going to be stupid enough to take him in the first round.
04:53Next rumor here for the NFL draft is related to the New York Giants and a wide receiver.
04:58Does the New York Giants take Cardinal Tate at five?
05:03Kill me. I'd hate it, but whatever. I hate the whole team.
05:06Rico, it's just raw stupidity, but go ahead.
05:10It kind of flow charts back to the last one.
05:13Like, yes, teams do dumb things because they want to say we're the smartest person in the room, but I
05:19mean, maybe this is where Harbaugh wants to go.
05:22He wants to fortify that offense and give.
05:26I wouldn't do it, especially with all those, I think, potentially good defensive players sitting there at five.
05:33If anything, trade down.
05:36If you really want him that badly, trade down, gain extra picks, and then get him, but don't take him
05:42at five.
05:44A question here regarding the draft here and regarding a team.
05:50A lot of rumors were out there with A.J. Brown.
05:54What happens with him on draft day, or is this a day two type thing?
06:00I mean, I think it would probably be more of a day two type of a draft pick where he'll
06:05go for maybe a second or third round pick.
06:08If you're Philly and you can work out some type of a deal for him, but I don't think it
06:13looks going to be on day one.
06:14I don't think you're getting a first round pick for him.
06:17I don't know.
06:18I can't figure it out.
06:19I don't even know how he's still there.
06:21I don't even understand how they didn't trade him, how it didn't already happen.
06:25But then you read the reports.
06:26They want first round picks.
06:28Sure.
06:29The only team that wants him, I think, is New England.
06:32So the deal should have already been consummated.
06:35But I'm with Rico.
06:36I'm not giving up a first round pick for this guy.
06:38Have you looked at A.J. Brown's contract?
06:40What you're on the hook for?
06:43No.
06:43I'll give you a three.
06:44But even money-wise, when he comes to your team, he's got this shelf life of probably about a year
06:49and a half before he becomes cancerous and starts destroying your team.
06:55One more, I wouldn't say rumor here, but a discussion here regarding the Indianapolis Colts, who have no first round
07:02selection in this draft.
07:04And they are looking for a wide receiver to replace Michael Pittman Jr.
07:07The rumors are they are looking at an in-state replacement in Elijah Surratt, day two.
07:15That match with the Indianapolis Colts there.
07:18I mean, you're paying Alec Pierce $8 billion.
07:21Yeah.
07:21They need a rookie who makes no money, and they pay him in mashed potatoes.
07:25What I'd like to see in that offense a little bit more, though, I'd like to see a little bit
07:30more slot weapons.
07:31And I know Tyler Warren can be that, but I'll say this name again.
07:35I'm not trying to be repetitive with it, but he's a dog.
07:38And he's great at the short game, the crossers, the screens.
07:41Casey Concepcion from A&M.
07:44That's a late first, early second round guy.
07:47That's the type of guy you put around Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce and Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren.
07:52You kind of need a trinket.
07:53Yeah.
07:55But whatever.
07:56I don't think he'll last that far in the second round, so you're going to have to either trade up
08:01to get him if that's what they want.
08:05Local kid, but yeah, I think, as you're right, Concepcion is a better play.
08:09But I guess we'll have to wait and see.
08:13I got something real quick.
08:16Yes.
08:17Mike, David, Texans, they exercised a fifth-year option on C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson.
08:23Smart move.
08:24Stroud set the sign for basically $26 million.
08:28Anderson for about $21.5 million.
08:31Buddy, smart or not, it probably needs different wording.
08:35I think it's the only thing they could do.
08:37I mean, if you don't pick up the fifth year, what are you going to do?
08:40You're going to go in like lame duck, and then he explodes, and then you end up in the giant
08:44situation with Daniel Jones?
08:46Will Anderson's going to get paid.
08:48No, no.
08:48Anderson, yeah.
08:49But Stroud, I feel like they had to.
08:52You couldn't pay him, but the option is the move.
08:55Anderson, yeah, he's going to reset the defense, the edge rusher.
09:00He's going to reset that.
09:01But, yeah, it was just the C.J. Stroud, like, were you forced to pay him?
09:07Because, yeah, I mean, I don't know how good he's going to be.
09:11So, yeah, okay, $26 million.
09:14This is the only choice they had.
09:15You could not give him a huge contract.
09:18You let him go into this year and prove it to get that contract.
09:21That's all they can do.
09:22Yes.
09:23That is your NFL Blitz 97.1.
09:27That's all they can do.
