00:00The player that would be available for Washington to take at seven
00:05that you would turn down all offers to trade back for.
00:10Give me that name of the player that if he's on the board
00:14and they're on the clock, you do not want a trade back.
00:17You want that player selected.
00:20301-230-0980.
00:23I've got two.
00:23Max, I want your answer to this question.
00:26I'm going to give you my first now,
00:28and that would be David Bailey.
00:30I've talked about him since we started to talk about the draft.
00:33To me, I do value production.
00:39And number 31 for Texas Tech had production.
00:43He had 14 and a half sacks.
00:46He was legitimately at times unblockable
00:50and was just a major havoc-wreaking force.
00:55Now, he didn't have as many forced fumbles as his teammate number 10,
00:58Jacob Rodriguez had.
01:00Rodriguez is one of my favorite players in this draft.
01:02He had seven forced fumbles, but Bailey had three forced fumbles.
01:07And my guest yesterday pointed out the absolute truth,
01:11and that is their playoff loss to Oregon,
01:14and it was 23-0, had nothing to do with the defense.
01:19The defense was dominant.
01:21Texas Tech was in that game.
01:23Bailey and Rodriguez and company were dominant.
01:27I think I'm just looking up the –
01:30Bailey had a sack and two TFLs and two blocked passes at the line of scrimmage.
01:38Rodriguez was second on the team with 11 total tackles in the game.
01:42I mean, if you remember that game,
01:44Dante Moore and that Oregon offense couldn't do anything.
01:47It was Morton, the quarterback for Texas Tech,
01:51that just soiled himself over and over again.
01:54Turned it over, you know, three, four times in the game.
01:57Couple fumbles, couple picks, and Oregon took advantage of it.
02:01It was 6-0 at halftime.
02:04That was it.
02:06Texas Tech couldn't score.
02:07Their defense was awesome, and that was led by Bailey and Rodriguez.
02:12Bailey's number one for me.
02:14I don't think he'll be there at 7.
02:16If he is there at 7, I'll actually question why he's there at 7,
02:20because maybe there's something teams know about him personally
02:24or medically or whatever.
02:27I just can't imagine that the highest producing, other than Bain,
02:32you know, true edge pass rusher.
02:35I know that he's not great against the run,
02:38but give me somebody that's going to strike fear
02:40into an offensive coordinator's heart and mind,
02:45because I hope Owe develops into that.
02:47I hope.
02:48But I think Bailey can be that.
02:51So Bailey's number one for me.
02:53If he's on the board at 7, I'm not trading back.
02:57And by the way, the trade back is not something that's, like, crazy.
03:00It's just whatever the draft chart says you should pick up.
03:03You know, 7 to 16 is a second and a fourth in addition to, you know,
03:09the 16th overall.
03:117 to 25th would be something, you know, much greater in overall value.
03:17But don't tell me that, you know,
03:19with the exception of somebody offering three firsts to move,
03:23nobody's going to do that.
03:25So I've got two players.
03:27The first is David Bailey.
03:29If he's there at 7, I want them to take David Bailey.
03:33I've got one other one.
03:34Max, who's the player for you that you would turn down
03:38all tradeback opportunities and say,
03:40no, I want you to select that player at number 7?
03:43For me, and I keep going to one guy on each side of the ball.
03:47On the offensive side, it's Jeremiah Love.
03:49I do think that he can elevate this offense into a realm
03:54where we haven't kind of seen it yet.
03:56Pairing him with Jaden Daniels and that rushing ability,
03:58I think, would make this rushing attack second to none.
04:02But on the other side, I've staked my reputation on Caleb Downs
04:07and will continue to until proven otherwise.
04:11So it would be Jeremiah Love or Caleb Downs.
04:14Those would be the two that I would be sticking with.
04:17Yeah, I think for me, like I considered Downs,
04:20you know, I did not consider Jeremiah Love.
04:22I would be fine if they don't take Jeremiah Love at 7.
04:25I think it's too high for him.
04:27I know I'm in the minority on this.
04:29That's fine.
04:29I'm not changing my mind.
04:32I am now convinced because, look, I liked Sonny Stiles a lot.
04:39But the number of people that we've had on the show,
04:45especially people like Bobby Carpenter, former Ohio State linebacker,
04:49lives in Ohio, has known Sonny Stiles since, you know, he was a kid.
04:56The high character and then the high RAS score and then the smarts and the need.
05:03Like, I think if Stiles is there at 7, I think I'd want them to pick Sonny Stiles.
05:11Like, if he ends up being the next, you know, Bobby Wagner,
05:19I don't want them to pass on that.
05:21Too important in the Durante Jones defense.
05:25So I think those are the two.
05:29The downs thing is interesting for me.
05:31I'm a big Carnell Tate fan.
05:34But for me, it's David Bailey more than anybody else, but I think Stiles as well.
05:39I wouldn't trade back if either one of those two are on the board.
05:44All right, 301-230-0980.
05:46Let's start with Rod and Landover.
05:48Rod, give me the player that you would not trade back
05:51if he were still available on the board for Washington to take.
05:56Hey, Greg, what's up, Kevin?
05:59For me, it's Jeremiah Love, man.
06:02I mean, I think, you know, to me, this is still an offensive lead.
06:07You know, Seattle had a guy that went over 1,700 yards.
06:11The Eagles before them had a guy that went over 2,000 yards.
06:15You just got to have that guy on offense, and we do not have it.
06:20And I think, you know, with Jeremiah Love, the potential of him being that,
06:26striking fear in the defense with him and Daniels,
06:30I think will open up the passing game.
06:33For me, it's just Jeremiah Love.
06:35If Love is not there, I would consider trading back.
06:39You know, Kenneth Walker III, the first player that you mentioned,
06:44who's now in Kansas City, was selected in the second round.
06:47You know, just FYI, I know you know that,
06:51but Barkley was drafted number two overall, right?
06:54Two or three, whatever it was.
06:57The idea of drafting a running back that high was never a big deal,
07:03and then it became a big deal, and it rarely happened.
07:05And now it seems like when it comes to running backs, safeties, linebackers,
07:11people are kind of a little bit more relaxed on the positional lack of value
07:16with that position, especially with Detroit doing what they did
07:21with a linebacker and a running back a few years ago in the draft.
07:26But thanks, Rod.
07:27Appreciate it.
07:27I have a feeling Love's going to be the selection for a lot of you.
07:32I'm looking for the player that would stop you dead in your tracks
07:36and you would not even consider a tradeback opportunity
07:40because that player is on the board and you want that player.
07:43Brian, Eastern Shore.
07:45Brian, go ahead.
07:49Brian, you there?
07:53I didn't hear you, Brian.
07:54Start over.
07:55Sorry.
07:55I don't expect you to be there.
07:57Brian, I'm sorry.
07:58Start over.
07:59I missed the beginning.
08:01Oh, I said, I think you're definitely on.
08:03I think it's definitely David Bailey.
08:07And if my second choice would be Sonny Sal just like you.
08:11But I have a question.
08:12If we were to trade back and we picked up a mid-second round pick,
08:18do you think Jadarian Price would still be there?
08:23Early in the second round, maybe.
08:26Maybe, and I'll tell you, there's, I mean, are you going to take a running back?
08:31If you're not taking the back that you think ends up being great or Hall of Fame future,
08:38you know, elite, don't you think at that point you think your running back room's okay?
08:44I like Jadarian Price.
08:46Don't get me wrong.
08:46I actually like a couple of backs.
08:48I like Jonah Coleman from Washington.
08:53And there was one other one.
08:55I really like, Jonah Coleman struck me in that, watching Washington against teams like Ohio State,
09:02Maryland, and other teams, they had two NFL offensive players.
09:05Denzel Boston and Jonah Coleman.
09:07Where is Coleman projected?
09:09Is he like, is he night two or day three?
09:14Kind of a mixture of both.
09:16But Jadarian Price would probably be available for them if they traded back
09:20and they had an early second round pick.
09:23Yes.
09:23He's, I think he's projected to be the second running back taken.
09:27Two Notre Dame backs to go as the two running backs,
09:30the first two running backs in this draft.
09:33Thanks, Brian.
09:34Appreciate it.
09:35Let's go to Anthony in D.C.
09:37Anthony, go ahead.
09:39Kevin, in your opinion, who was the last superstar player that was a non-quarterback
09:45that wasn't here today, gone tomorrow type of thing that we've had?
09:51Wait, say, phrase the question again.
09:56In your opinion, the last non-quarterback that we had that was a superstar
10:03that wasn't a flash in the pan.
10:06That we drafted?
10:08Yes.
10:08Or just that overall?
10:10Yes, that we drafted.
10:12That was a true superstar?
10:15Yes.
10:17Do I have to go back that far?
10:21That's the whole point.
10:22I know it's the point.
10:23I mean, is it Sean?
10:29It's either Sean or Darryl.
10:34Well, no, it's Sean.
10:36Sean was a superstar talent and descending.
10:41Well, I'm just saying.
10:42I mean, did you want me to say Kirk?
10:45No, I'm not on that, Kirk, Trent.
10:49Oh, Trent Williams.
10:51Trent Williams.
10:51Yeah, Max just said it.
10:52Of course, Trent Williams.
10:54Yeah.
10:55I thought Sean was after Trent.
10:57Well, okay.
10:58No, no.
10:59What do you mean after?
11:00No, Trent came after.
11:01Trent was drafted in 2010.
11:03Okay.
11:04Sean passed three years before that.
11:06Okay, but that's my whole point.
11:08Yeah.
11:09We have to go back that far to identify a superstar that we've actually drafted,
11:16that actually performed over an extended period of time.
11:20Yep.
11:21So what I would like, I don't have a specific player because I don't,
11:27I can't identify the traits of the superstar the way that they can.
11:33But what I would like them to do is whoever is available when their pick comes up,
11:41identify if that person is Derek Thomas as in Bailey,
11:50J.J. Watt as in Bain, or some other player.
11:53If they don't see the potential in them to potentially become Derek Thomas or J.J. Watt
12:03or whatever, then don't draft them.
12:06I'm with you.
12:07I want them to draft the perennial all-pro superstar, regardless of position.
12:15I don't see Carnell Lake as a potential superstar.
12:20I don't see Cat Up Downs as a potential superstar.
12:25We need a hell raiser on either side of the ball.
12:33Okay, so what you're saying is that there isn't a player for you.
12:37No.
12:37You would trade back.
12:39No, no, no.
12:40I'm not saying trade back.
12:42Okay, if I had to pick one out of the blue, based on their physical ability,
12:48Sonny Stiles, Jeremiah Love, the lane, the cornerback.
12:57Okay.
12:58They have the physical ability, but does the team identify them as players that can be
13:03Deion, Darryl, Rod Woodson, somebody of that elk?
13:08If they identify that kind of player and those people, draft them.
13:13Otherwise, do whatever you need to do.
13:17But we need superstar players.
13:20I have, off the conversation that you and I have had here, I've already had two texts
13:25from people saying, how could you not mention Terry McLaurin?
13:29Well, for me, I didn't think that we were talking about really, really good players.
13:34I thought we were talking about superstar players.
13:37That would be my answer to that.
13:40Potential Hall of Fame players.
13:41Yeah, that's not Terry, all due respect.
13:44Bill Green, Trent Williams.
13:45Yeah.
13:46Sean Taylor was a future Hall of Fame player.
13:50Trent Williams is a Hall of Fame player playing right now.
13:55Okay.
13:55Thanks, Anthony.
13:57Appreciate it, as always.
