00:02NFL draft eve. We've got a mock draft
00:04mania. John and I will alternate picks until we get to the Lions where we turn
00:08it over to you guys. Uh-huh. Number one pick
00:12in the draft. Las Vegas Raiders.
00:16And when I think of Las Vegas and Sin City, I think of
00:21Fernando Mendoza. Number one pick. Now, let's
00:24call it what it is. I don't know what he's going to be in the NFL, John.
00:28Nobody knows. A quarterback may be the biggest gamble there is.
00:31I think Tom made a joke. Kenny Pickett's going one in this draft. It's possible.
00:36Certainly not Andrew Luck, so somewhere in the middle, but there's your number one pick.
00:39Not a surprise. The Jets start off at number two
00:43and I believe, and there's some scuttle now. They go
00:48edge, and I think they go David Bailey. Edge out of
00:51Texas Tech. I think he's the most polished. I've talked about that. I think he comes in an instant
00:56impact. Aaron Glenn
00:58saw the impact of Aiden Hutchinson.
01:00Now, I don't think he's Aiden, but I don't know
01:02that you have that in this draft.
01:04Third pick is the Arizona Cardinals,
01:06and I think with Bailey off the board, they
01:08go with a different front seven
01:11missile in
01:12Arvel Reese. You could play him at the edge spot.
01:14You can play him at linebacker. Cardinals could use
01:16an upgrade on defense. He helps him in multiple
01:17areas. That'd be a good pick for him,
01:19and they need many good picks
01:21to get things off the ground there.
01:24I think the draft really
01:25begins at four
01:27or five, depending on what Tennessee does
01:29at four, because there's a lot of
01:31question marks. Obviously, Cam
01:33Ward, young quarterback, what are they going to do?
01:35Are they going to pair? Are they going to go offensive line to try
01:37and protect them? Are they going to give them more weapons?
01:39They go more weapons with Jeremiah Love
01:41running back out of Notre Dame, and
01:43a lot of the scuttle
01:45coming out of there is,
01:47hey, Robert Sala understands
01:49what Christian McCaffrey meant
01:51to the Niners.
01:53He had two opportunities
01:55to be in San Francisco, see that happen.
01:58The difference is,
01:59when Christian McCaffrey arrived there,
02:01they already had an offensive line.
02:02I was going to say,
02:04they don't in Tennessee.
02:05I don't know if I like that pick,
02:06but I could see it happening.
02:08That gets us to number five,
02:09the Giants, who have two picks in the top
02:11ten. I think they take their pick
02:12of two Ohio State
02:14defensive pieces,
02:16knowing that, yeah, they could probably get the other,
02:17the tackle at ten.
02:20I've got them going with Caleb Downs
02:22here, and I love the idea that
02:23Harbaugh has that chess piece
02:25for his defense in New York.
02:26Yeah, Caleb Downs,
02:28I think most people think
02:30he is the best
02:31in this draft.
02:33I don't think,
02:34I mean,
02:34obviously Mendoza's going one.
02:35It's the value of the quarterback
02:37versus the value of his safety.
02:38This is a little bit higher
02:39than you would normally take a safety,
02:40but he's that level of talent.
02:42The Browns are up next at six,
02:43and I think they go offensive line
02:45to protect
02:47the five quarterbacks
02:48that they will put on the field
02:49at one time,
02:49and that is
02:51the tackle
02:52out of the mountain of a man
02:53out of Miami,
02:56Francis Maui Noah.
02:57I really like him.
02:58So he is the first tackle
03:00off the board.
03:01At seven,
03:02the Commanders,
03:02they will take Sonny Stiles,
03:04linebacker out of Ohio State.
03:06Can never have enough
03:07players on that defense.
03:09No, and they play that
03:10three-four style of defense,
03:11and he's that linebacker,
03:13off-the-ball linebacker,
03:14edge defender.
03:15I think he fits that
03:16extremely well.
03:17New Orleans on the board
03:19at number eight.
03:19They go wide receiver.
03:21I don't know who they have
03:22throwing the ball to them,
03:22but they're going to go
03:23Carnell Tate.
03:24Okay.
03:25He's wide receiver one
03:26in this draft.
03:26Big body,
03:27go up and get it.
03:28Most people believe
03:29he's wide receiver one.
03:30Some have a different one up there,
03:32but we'll get to him
03:32in a little bit.
03:33Oh, okay.
03:34Now I'm interested.
03:35Are you some?
03:36No, I think he's
03:38the most polished receiver.
03:39I think that most people
03:40think the best upside
03:41is Jordan Tyson.
03:42Oh, okay.
03:42Yeah.
03:43I mean, get to it
03:44when we get to it.
03:44Pick number nine then?
03:46Yes.
03:46I got the Chiefs.
03:48This is a very popular
03:50Reuben Baines spot,
03:51but I'm going Spencer Fano.
03:52They need to build up
03:54that offensive line.
03:55You cannot have it
03:55where your quarterback's
03:56running for his life
03:57and he's your leading rusher.
03:58I think they need a tackle.
04:00Yep.
04:01I agree with you,
04:02and tackles are starting
04:03to scream off the board,
04:05and since the Giants
04:06went at number five
04:08with Caleb Downs,
04:10they got their tackle
04:11at 10,
04:12and I hate them for it
04:14because they take
04:15Monroe Freeling at 10.
04:18How could you?
04:19You're going to give that guy
04:20to Mike Valeni's Giants?
04:22I don't want to see it.
04:23Trust me.
04:24You're supposed to put a fix in
04:25and take some bum
04:25with a blown knee
04:26or something.
04:27Yeah.
04:27Well, trust me,
04:29I'd love to see it,
04:30but anyway,
04:32that puts out the Dolphins.
04:33I'm going to go
04:33Jordan Tyson here.
04:34I mean,
04:34everybody knows
04:35they need help.
04:35Pass catchers,
04:37you trade Waddle,
04:37there's no more Tyreek Hill.
04:39Yeah.
04:40Got to throw the ball
04:40to somebody.
04:41I think he's a very good
04:42player out of Arizona State.
04:44Yeah,
04:44and as I said earlier,
04:45there's a lot of people
04:45that think maybe in year one,
04:48he's not the number one
04:50receiver in this class,
04:51but years two,
04:52three,
04:52and four,
04:53as he continues to develop
04:54as an NFL receiver,
04:55that he may have
04:56the best career
04:57over Carnell Tate,
04:59and they have the time,
05:00the luxury,
05:01because nobody thinks
05:01they're going to be anything
05:02this year,
05:02and I agree,
05:03they're not going to be.
05:04Number 12,
05:06the Dallas Cowboys.
05:08They go with a cornerback
05:09out of LSU,
05:11Mansour Dillon.
05:13Number one corner,
05:14they need help
05:15in their secondary.
05:17Number 13,
05:18the Rams.
05:19I don't know
05:19what to do with this.
05:19Everybody says
05:20Makai Lemon,
05:21so I'm just not
05:22going to overthink it.
05:23Yeah,
05:24because you've got
05:25an aging Devontae Adams,
05:26you've got a receiver
05:30in rehab,
05:31you don't know
05:32what he's going
05:34to do.
05:34I think he'll probably
05:35be okay,
05:36but...
05:37And they hit the corner
05:37position aggressively
05:38in free agency.
05:39That was the other thing,
05:40I think,
05:41and trade,
05:41that you could look
05:42for here.
05:43Yeah,
05:43and so Reuben Bates
05:44still on the board.
05:46And I think he goes
05:47to the Ravens.
05:48come on.
05:48Of course.
05:49A defensive stud
05:51falls right into
05:52the Ravens' lap.
05:53Is there anything
05:53more Ravens
05:54than just,
05:55oh,
05:55hey,
05:55the guy everybody
05:56loves ends up
05:56in Baltimore.
05:57Right,
05:58yeah,
05:58well,
05:58I mean,
05:58yeah,
05:58everybody loves him
05:59except for his
06:00short arms.
06:01Yeah,
06:01Aiden had short
06:01arms too,
06:02though.
06:03Yeah,
06:03but,
06:04I mean,
06:04it's so,
06:05yeah,
06:05okay,
06:05so that's where
06:06Reuben Bain
06:06finally gets off
06:07the board.
06:0815,
06:08the Bucs,
06:09this is the spot
06:10for Kenyon Sadiq,
06:11the tight end
06:12playmaker
06:12out of Oregon.
06:14Yeah,
06:14and 16,
06:15who's got to pick
06:16at 16?
06:16I didn't forget,
06:17I failed to write
06:17that one down.
06:18The J-E-T-S
06:19Jets,
06:19Jets,
06:20Jets,
06:20Jets,
06:20yes,
06:21they go
06:22Jermond McCoy.
06:23He only falls
06:25a little bit
06:26in the draft,
06:27doesn't fall all
06:27the way because
06:28of the bone plug
06:29that everybody
06:30has this question
06:30about.
06:32Yes,
06:33that is actual
06:34facts.
06:35Bone plug?
06:36Bone plug,
06:37yes.
06:38And I believe
06:38it is,
06:39isn't that what
06:40people go to the
06:40hospital for?
06:42for the E-R?
06:44Sometimes,
06:45yeah.
06:45Okay.
06:46Or they mail
06:46those packages
06:47to,
06:47yes,
06:48we had that one.
06:49Yes,
06:50I'm not sure
06:50where the issue
06:52is.
06:52Apparently,
06:53it's in some
06:53tendon.
06:54Okay.
06:55But you have
06:55them going
06:55to the Jets,
06:56so that's
06:56Aaron Glenn,
06:57who's a
06:58defensive back
06:58by trade,
06:59sees the
07:00upside,
07:00the profile.
07:02By the way,
07:03there's some
07:04risk in making
07:05that pick.
07:05You don't know
07:05how long you're
07:06going to be
07:06in New York.
07:08Well,
07:09yes.
07:10And the
07:11issue is,
07:12defensively,
07:13they really
07:13struggled.
07:14And they've
07:14already got,
07:15I think,
07:15six new
07:16starters on
07:16defense because
07:17they've tried
07:17to remake
07:17that defense.
07:18If they go
07:19David Bailey
07:20at two,
07:20and then at
07:2116,
07:22they go
07:22Jermon McCoy,
07:23like maybe
07:23they'll actually
07:24get an
07:24interception this
07:25year.
07:26So who's on
07:27the board now?
07:28Okay,
07:28so here's
07:29where we
07:29turn it over
07:30to you guys.
07:31We want to
07:31know,
07:32what do the
07:32Lions do
07:33at 17?
07:34You still
07:35have Caden
07:35Proctor,
07:37Blake Miller
07:37is another
07:38tackle,
07:39Vega Ione
07:40is the
07:40big mauling
07:41guard if
07:41you want
07:41to stay
07:42on the
07:42offensive
07:42line.
07:42If you
07:43say,
07:43F it,
07:43I don't
07:44love those
07:44guys,
07:44I want
07:44defense,
07:45Akeem
07:46Mestador,
07:47the edge
07:48who can
07:49squeeze down
07:49and play
07:49D-tackle
07:50as well
07:50out of
07:51Miami.
07:52Safety.
07:52Safety,
07:53Dylan
07:53Thieneman
07:53is there,
07:54the number
07:54two safety
07:54in this
07:55draft
07:55behind
07:55only
07:55Caleb
07:56Downs.
07:56He was
07:56a great
07:57safety
07:57at
07:57Oregon.
07:58What do
07:59you want
07:59the Lions
08:00to do
08:00if the
08:01draft
08:01falls
08:02this
08:02way?
08:032-4-8-5-3-9-97-97.
08:08And I
08:09mean,
08:09that's
08:09obviously
08:09with three
08:10tackles
08:10off the
08:11board,
08:11already
08:11off the
08:12board.
08:12Maui
08:13Noah
08:13from
08:13Miami,
08:15Fano
08:15out of
08:16Utah,
08:16and Monroe
08:17Freeling,
08:17the guy
08:17that we
08:18want.
08:18And that's
08:18why I
08:19say I
08:19don't know
08:19that he's
08:20even on
08:21the board
08:21for the
08:23Lions at
08:2317.
08:24If he
08:25goes at
08:2510 to
08:25the
08:25Giants,
08:27that's
08:27too far
08:28for them
08:28to try
08:28and trade
08:29up.
08:29If they
08:29have fallen
08:30in love
08:30with
08:31Monroe
08:31Freeling,
08:31he's
08:32the next
08:32best guy.
08:33He fits
08:34a need.
08:34I just
08:35don't think
08:3610,
08:36they're able
08:37to give
08:37enough to
08:38jump up
08:39to 10
08:39and take
08:40him.
08:41Yeah,
08:41three tackles
08:41in the
08:41top 10
08:42is I
08:42think what
08:42puts them
08:43in this
08:43position.
08:45You want
08:46to take
08:46a stab
08:46at it?
08:48Yeah,
08:48the one
08:49that I
08:49would think
08:50that they
08:51would go
08:51with is
08:52a guy
08:52that started
08:52over 50
08:53games and
08:54let's go
08:54with Blake
08:54Miller.
08:56It may
08:56be a
08:57little bit
08:57high,
08:57but if
08:58you're
08:58trying to
08:59rebuild
08:59that
08:59offensive
09:00line,
09:00you want
09:01to
09:01establish
09:01that,
09:02I think
09:03he is,
09:04it may
09:05be
09:05overdrafting
09:05him a
09:06little bit,
09:06but you're
09:06taking
09:08lesser
09:11talent
09:11because
09:12this isn't
09:13a deep
09:14draft of
09:14high-end
09:15talent.
09:15I think
09:16he gives
09:16you everything
09:16you need.
09:17I think
09:17he's a
09:18great fit
09:19into the
09:19culture and
09:20personality of
09:20this team.
09:21He's
09:21dependable,
09:22he's
09:22reliable,
09:23he's
09:23aggressive,
09:24he's
09:24got a
09:24nasty
09:24personality.
09:25I think
09:26at 17,
09:27I'd take
09:27Blake Miller.
09:28So Freeling's
09:29Razz score
09:30was off the
09:31charts.
09:31Blake Miller
09:32was just
09:33a tick
09:34behind him
09:35and he
09:35played 50
09:36plus games
09:37of college
09:37football and
09:38the guy,
09:39not only did
09:40he not miss
09:40games,
09:41he hardly
09:41missed
09:42practice.
09:43There's a
09:44mean streak
09:44to him,
09:45the athletic
09:45profile's there,
09:46he plays
09:47right tackle,
09:48if you're
09:48moving Sewell
09:48to left
09:49tackle,
09:49John,
09:49I would
09:50take my
09:50bookend
09:51tackle and
09:51Blake Miller
09:52out of
09:53Clemson.
09:53But we
09:54leave it to
09:54you guys.
09:55There are
09:55guards,
09:55there are
09:55tackles,
09:56there are
09:56edge players,
09:57safeties.
09:58What should
09:58the Lions
09:59do?
09:59We'll get
09:59your feedback
10:00and your
10:00phone calls
10:01next.
10:0197.1.
10:02on.
10:02We'll get
