00:00i think it i think it rules the day more than we realize like people are non-conformist like they
00:07want if you are a non-conformist we'd be interested to hear from you but it feels like everybody the
00:13i mean 80 90 percent of the mock drafts is a tackle then there's the occasional guard and
00:19the rest of them are edges edge rushers brad holmes is just as likely to make a pick that
00:27makes you go whoa so we asked in our twitter poll do you think when you think about brad holmes
00:35do
00:35you think he will take a tackle do you think he will take an edge or do you think he'll
00:42make a pick
00:43that makes you go whoa
00:47right yeah so right now the voting 60 are saying tackle 35 are saying whoa yeah and 5 are saying
01:01edge so a couple things here what do you think he is going to do is your gut telling you
01:08tackle yeah
01:09yeah it's going to go along everybody's right it's going to be a tackle do you think it's going to
01:15be
01:15an edge rusher which gets considerable amount of discussion in detroit for oh i don't know 365 days
01:23a year or do you think he's going to do it again and make you go whoa i'm trying not
01:31to put my own
01:32bias on what i want to happen because the question is what's bragg gonna do not what you want him
01:38to
01:38do and and i'm trying real hard man trying real hard yeah however
01:45i think he trades back do you and my reasoning for thinking that he's going to trade back
01:51is because next year's draft is supposed to be loaded and they want to have more draft capital for
01:58next year so i think if they traded back it it's not likely for like hey we're trading back for
02:04a
02:04third round pick this year maybe it's a second round pick next year that they're trading back for
02:08if teams start to get desperate i think you and i've discussed it ad nauseum how we think there's
02:13a lot of depth at tackle of course we have no idea who they value but we think there's a
02:18lot and i think
02:19if you were to trade back you're still able to get a tackle or a player that should be someone
02:23who
02:23could plug and play right away whether it's a tackle at safety at corner at defensive end i think
02:30those position players are still there at say 27 if they even wanted to go back 10 spots so
02:35does that qualify as a whoa no uh if they stay at 17 gator
02:41tackle edge oh sorry so the question was stay at 17 i'm sorry i missed that part of you i
02:46didn't offer
02:47trade as a possibility no i guess you didn't uh if they stay at 17 i still set up the
02:52guardrails
02:53there for my guy circumventing so doug if they're gonna stay at 17 yeah i still think it's tackle do
03:02you yeah if i had to bet my life savings i'd probably bet it on a whoa and the question
03:10is
03:10what would the whoa be and i feel like it would be a safety
03:18i feel like if brad holmes does something and we already i've looked at some of the feedback some
03:24people are already saying well the smartest guy in the room move which is a passive aggressive
03:29insult right um but i heard somebody say that this morning yeah about smartest guy in the room stuff
03:35like you know taking running back at 12 is that a dumb thing it would it turned out you know
03:39what it's
03:39a bad it turns out and that is an example of actually being the smartest guy in the room
03:44because he did those picks jameer gibbs and jack campbell got him labeled right after that draft
03:51is look at him trying to be the smartest guy in the room and they're both and he was in
03:56that case
03:56kind of the smartest guy in the room but um what do you think if you think it's whoa what
04:02do you think
04:03the whoa pick would be two four eight five three nine 97 97 kang i actually i don't want to
04:10spill the
04:10beans here a little bit because we're going to get to you what you think they're going to do
04:16last year if people missed it a year ago the day of the draft ken said i think they're going
04:21to go
04:21ty link williams and we were and i think our response at the time was whoa and you were right
04:28then the next day on the on the two rather the second and third round day two you said i'm
04:34going to give
04:35you a name isaac tesla and we went whoa kang without telling us who it is do you have a
04:42first
04:43round pick in mind that you think brad holmes is going to do yes i do i i have a
04:50name a player that
04:52this is where i'm leaning towards brad holmes is going to come away from uh the draft today with
04:56okay i let's let's save that for 10 50 because i don't want to give it away whether it's a
05:02uh a tackle an edge or a wall can i give you my wall pick yeah let's go if they're
05:06going to do a
05:07wall i think it's for a corner okay so i i don't think the lane will be there at 17
05:14but uh mccoy
05:15mccoy would be okay a wall uh so i got safety gator if it's a wall pick you think it's
05:21a cornerback
05:23here's some of the feedback coming in uh from garth in scotland my prediction is that after tonight
05:31our gm will be known as brad wah holmes uh and he says garth in scotland facing a very long
05:39night
05:39from ryan i don't know how true it is but i heard this is a fairly deep draft when it
05:44comes to
05:45offensive linemen wouldn't mind them going edge or possibly even corner safety i just don't trust
05:51tarion arnold and dj reed from nubs get dubs i just have a hunch kenyan sadiq is the pick
06:00i voted whoa from nr mccoy is the perfect smartest guy in the room pick that's who brad holmes will
06:09take and here's a wall even though it's again it's not picking at 17 this person says he trades up
06:17for
06:17downs that's from i don't know if i should read that name on the air so i won't 248-539
06:22-9797 let's go
06:23to joe you're on 97.1 hello joe hey how are you guys doing today how's the weather over there
06:30in
06:30co-america oh it's good it's getting nicer and nicer by the minute hey gator i gotta agree with
06:36you uh before i get into my take i definitely agree basketballs are more night games than anything else
06:40these days i would have to agree with the only thing it should be a d game is a ball
06:44game so i'd have
06:44agree with you on that that's kind of weird but what about football what about the noon start in
06:50football well no okay yeah yeah i mean you definitely get the tailgating and get the drinks
06:54in you i think you know what you're talking about there yeah i was all used to that
06:59every saturday keep it brief yeah yeah no yeah we we know the culture out here in detroit and keep
07:06it
07:06gritty but um my woe pick i know everyone talks about but honestly i think a keen mesador
07:11would be the biggest woe pick i've really been saying that that guy is who would be your
07:16you know edge that everyone's been holding out for i mean the guy's 25 years old he's coming in with
07:22like some level of physical maturity when it comes to that like positional need uh obviously he doesn't
07:29have any professional experience though which is the biggest question mark but i think i gotta agree
07:34together monroe freeling is really the biggest one that we need right now i mean i had no idea until
07:40that kay adams interview is the guy was a former teammate of tate ratledge and i think if you talk
07:44about like continuity on offensive line you got tate to mentor the young guy coming in the jerry know
07:51he's six seven three hundred pounds behemoth of a human being you just signed kade mays was a very
07:58reputable center and you also got penne as the enforcer on there and you got borum scruggs so you you
08:05think you think he's gonna go mesador but you would take freely i would much rather it i would
08:12much much rather it that's what i'm saying as a fan but as we know with brad he's always thinking
08:19of something i mean kang i want to hear what you have to say obviously after the break but
08:23i would think that mesador would be his woe pick if you do take a safety again i really just
08:30think
08:30you're throwing all the needs of the team out the window like you either need an edge to back up
08:36aiden or you need a tackle to back up jared and give him that premier security you don't need wide
08:42receiver you don't need a running back don't they need a safety they kind of need a safety
08:48they need it but not as bad as they need a tackler edge not as bad i mean you have
08:52some guys
08:53i bet brad would look at it yeah i would say based on what they just did in free agency
08:58that
08:58they're maybe not looking at edge and tackle as as a screaming need even though we as fans would
09:04but looking at safety you don't have brian branch coming back till maybe halfway through the season
09:09and you don't know what's going on with kirby joseph and i don't think taking an edge at 17 is
09:13a
09:13wall pick i don't think it's a wall but for him it would be a little bit it'd be a
09:17little bit more
09:17surprising than tackle but but for him it is yeah uh let's go to monty your next 97 won the
09:22ticket
09:23hello monty hey gentlemen how y'all doing today we're great buddy all right here's my pick and
09:30somebody said it earlier but i can see it caleb downs is about the best uh athlete in the draft
09:37we definitely have a needed safety they said how they feel about borum at the tackle position
09:43everything else i'm saying that brad trades up to get the best player in the draft which is the
09:50safety caleb downs that's the wall pick so you know what's interesting about that is that i think
09:56is totally predicated on how far caleb downs falls and i if he falls at all if he if if
10:03he's if you
10:05need to trade up to four to get him i don't think you get him you get him but if
10:08you need to trade up
10:09to 10 to get him i don't know if the giants would trade out that pick but you you whatever
10:14he's got to
10:15slide a little bit deeper into the first round to make that true accessibility i think because i
10:21think the price tag is massive to get into the top 10 i think you're probably right but i mean
10:25that's
10:25absolutely the name i think of that if like you get to 12 and he's there yep if i'm brad
10:31holmes i'm
10:31probably picking up the phone and making an offer to move up to 12 to take caleb downs because i
10:36think that's just a wild card you wouldn't expect that he's there and there he is if he's there
10:42i'd do just about everything i could to try to secure him as a player because i think he is
10:46an
10:46absolute stud he's taking missiles a safety ball hawk he can cover he does everything and i'd love
10:54to have him on the team and someone's going to get an awesome player likely in the top 10 but
10:58again if
10:59he starts to slip out of that then i think the lions should strike okay the the much anticipated
11:06kang prediction last year he nailed tyleek williams and isaac tesla and both times people like whoa
