00:00So, what's the question of the day, boys?
00:02Well, there is an NFL draft today.
00:04Yeah, I've heard about this.
00:05So, let's brag and let's fall on the sword simultaneously.
00:09Who is the player you were most right about before an NFL draft and most wrong about?
00:16Okay, I'll give you mine.
00:17Mine is easily Johnny Manziel.
00:19I still wear that one to this day.
00:21Is that the right or the wrong?
00:22I wanted the Texans to use the first pick in the draft on Johnny Manziel.
00:26I was standing on the table for it.
00:28And I was like, look, the Browns got him at 22.
00:30And it turns out he was an even bigger headache than even a seventh-round pick would have warranted.
00:36The part that I can remember, I've gotten so many things right through the years.
00:40They really all just played together.
00:42I mean, I knew this would be a hard one for you.
00:44No, you know what it was?
00:45It was sort of a three-headed monster.
00:46It was that sequence of quarterbacks in the 2011 draft where Cam Newton was the first overall pick.
00:53And I thought Cam would be a good player.
00:55But in that draft.
00:57Was this like Jake Locker?
00:57Jake Locker went eighth.
00:59Blaine Gabbard went tenth.
01:01And Christian Ponder went twelfth.
01:03And I'm like, these guys all suck.
01:06I watch a lot of college football.
01:07Jake Locker is not accurate and never will be, and he never was.
01:11Blaine Gabbard is a pretty boy with flowing locks out of the back of his helmet who's soft.
01:16And then Christian Ponder.
01:17I think everybody knew Christian Ponder was going in like the middle of the second round in every mock draft.
01:21And for some reason, the Vikings took him at 12.
01:23I was like, these three guys are going to be terrible.
01:26That's right.
01:27I always know who you're talking about.
01:28Yeah.
01:30Yep.
01:30Yeah.
01:31And J.J. Watt went 11th in that draft.
01:33He certainly did.
01:33We were talking about this yesterday.
01:35That one's such a strong draft.
01:36It's probably the best draft that we've had in the last 30 years.
01:39And we had the question on whether or not it was the best draft.
01:41Like, it's coming up on possibly being one of the best drafts that we've ever seen in NFL history.
01:45Yeah.
01:45The 2011 draft.
01:46Yep.
01:46Because you've got, like, eight Hall of Famers in there.
01:48That's right.
01:49Well, both of mine were Texans, the first two that came to mind.
01:54I'm interested to hear, Seth, and you mentioned J.J. Watt.
01:58I was doing the draft show with Mark Vandermeer for the 2011 draft.
02:04Oops.
02:05So, it wasn't just I was wrong about it.
02:08I wasn't completely wrong, but I was wrong about this.
02:11But I was wrong on probably one of the most listened to broadcasts of the year.
02:16Oh, yeah.
02:17I was one of the analysts, you know.
02:19And when they drafted J.J. Watt, I was like, oh, man, this is really good.
02:23I just don't know what kind of pass rusher he's going to be.
02:26I know he's going to be really good.
02:29I know he's going to be really good against the run, and he's going to be a great guy, all
02:33this stuff.
02:33But I don't know about sacks.
02:35Well, he managed.
02:38He managed.
02:38That's a suspect take on many levels.
02:42I bet he ran precise routes as a tight end, I bet.
02:47That's right.
02:48The one I was right about, I continue to be right about, I was all, and you can go back
02:53and listen,
02:53I was all about Jalen Petrie from Baylor.
02:55I was all about that dude.
02:58How about you, Seth?
02:59My worst one by far, even though this didn't end up being my draft date,
03:03I thought, but it was that I entertained Tyree Wilson being better than Will Anderson for a while.
03:07Yeah.
03:08And I flopped.
03:10I flipped on it the week before the draft, but the fact that I even had that opinion for as
03:16long as I did,
03:17I'm still ashamed of it.
03:18So I don't even know.
03:20It's just as bad as if I had held it on through draft night.
03:23The one I was most right about, and even way more right about it than I thought,
03:27was that Trevor Penning was a fraud.
03:29Oh, yes.
03:30Oh, yes.
03:31Oh, yes.
03:34I was astounded that NFL people thought, that they fell for his BS act about being Joe Tough Guy,
03:42and he's just awful.
03:44He's an awful offensive lineman.
03:45Not only were you right, not only were you right, it was like a month-long bit.
03:49Like, it was, you were just all.
03:52Well, I just, because I talked to other defensive linemen about him.
03:54He's like the classic guy.
03:55You hate these guys who think they're tough, and it's college.
03:58It's fake college offensive line tough.
04:00Like, yeah, he's beaten up on a 235-pound Mack defensive lineman.
04:04Or, oh, look at that.
04:06He pancaked a safety.
04:08But when it came to actually playing against actually strong physical guys like Will Anderson in the NFL,
04:13Will Anderson just destroyed him.
04:14He's awful.
04:16And the Saints and anybody else who entertained drafting him in the first round, idiots,
04:21because he was just so obviously fake tough.
04:24You nailed that one.
04:25You nailed that one.
04:26He was the sixth offensive lineman for the worst offensive line in the league this year, the Chargers.
04:30Yep.
