00:00brad holmes uh what he had to say the most interesting stuff he had to say last night
00:03after the pick and next down we'll get into what we hope happens on day two with the detroit lions
00:08and uh 105 kang will make his pick as highly anticipated blake miller he called it yesterday
00:14248 539 97 97 the approval rating for this pick is very high 93.8 for the people who have
00:22been
00:22voting we'll read some of your tweets that have come in uh shortly but first let's go to zach
00:27who's next on 97 one what's up zach hi uh so i'm happy with the uh blake miller pick but
00:35i was
00:36kind of watching caleb downs uh fall down the draft board and i just seen miami i'm like there's no
00:42way miami's keeping that pick and i thought there's a possibility the lions could possibly
00:46move up to grab caleb downs he's more of a dream pick but yeah you're talking to a couple of
00:54guys
00:54here who are big caleb downs yeah and uh caleb downs is it was an exceptionally uh impressive
01:04collegiate player and i would i would i i hear what you're saying getting caleb downs would have
01:09been awesome i was i was so hoping that the cowboys were going to take reuben bain because that would
01:14have been interesting to see how the rest of the draft goes because i mean i was the dolphins ended
01:18up
01:18taking a lineman the the rams took a quarterback and the the ravens took a lineman so you get to
01:2415
01:26uh it's it's not that hard to move up a couple spots and it really isn't that that punitive in
01:31terms of what the draft capital was at least the prices last night didn't seem to be all that
01:35that expensive to move up in the draft but it didn't work out that way because dallas took
01:40caleb downs at 11 tried it up to get him right yeah it was i was kind of surprised that
01:46a little
01:46bit i thought honestly they were moving up for an edge rusher but uh yeah that's how it goes
01:52believe me uh caleb downs would have been awesome but you know what's crazy is i think going into the
02:00second round safety is one of the spots there's a lot of players i like like the way this is
02:06if they
02:06want a safety i think there are some good ones there i think yeah i think not only in the
02:11second
02:11round i think you might even be able to wait until obviously the lions don't have a third round pick
02:15but if they wanted to trade back in yeah i think there's there's a possibility there or maybe even
02:19still in the fourth round that you can get guys i feel like second round is every fan's favorite round
02:24because value i i just feel like value they feel like you could take more quote-unquote chances in the
02:29second round because it's not the first pick right it's the second pick where guys have fallen value i feel
02:34like second round is the favorite round for everybody so king let me ask you something real
02:38quick uh because you gave us the name isaac tesla on day two last year and you've kind of hinted
02:45that
02:45you're not sure that the guy that you think makes all the sense in the world is actually a second
02:51round
02:51pick no i think he's a lion's pick yes he's a lion's pick he could be picked today they don't
02:57have a
02:57three-round pick obviously they'd have to get into the third round either move back or move forward
03:01uh but yeah he could be a day three pick okay a little foreshadowing yeah two four eight five
03:06three nine 97 97 joe in detroit hi joe hey guys how's it going today what's up hey i don't
03:13know
03:13if you remember i called in yesterday i talked about that monroe freeling and uh the woe pick at the
03:18edge when you guys were out there comerica yeah um kang i remember listening as we turned it off and
03:24you did call blake miller and i was like there's no way we're really gonna go with him but we
03:28really did
03:28it i thought freeling being a teammate over at georgia uh would have solidified it but his
03:34experience i mean i had no idea he had probably like two seasons over uh freeling which is a good
03:38thing but i know you guys are still talking safety i think kang i mean i'm interested to hear what
03:43you
03:43guys say bro but i think edge is really like still in need like i think i think you gotta
03:47go tackle edge
03:48and then safety in the fourth i mean you could have two or three of them and i could really
03:52care less i
03:52feel like offense is pretty solidified at this point you don't need a running back you don't need a wide
03:56receiver maybe you draft a tight end in one of those rounds like the fourth or the fifth
04:00but i think you go you know edge then safety i don't think you should go safety then edge because
04:06like you guys said yesterday when you hopped off branch is still coming back joseph is still
04:10question mark we got mccreary we got izian and i definitely think you know draft another guy in
04:15the fourth round would help bolster that but i think edge is still more of a priority because
04:19those guys will be jumping at the quarterback before the ball's even getting that deep if you got
04:24two guys on each side you know that can really put an effort together i think it's going to really
04:28help that pass game and branch is going to come into a great situation when he's healed everybody's
04:32going to be in a good spot and if you take a safety in the fourth he's still going to
04:35be effective for
04:36what you're looking for i mean back in 24 we were signing guys off the street to compete in the
04:41vikings game and i think we can all agree on that so anything in the fourth is going to be
04:45a help at
04:45this point but i definitely definitely definitely think second round we still got a lock and an edge
04:49there's um thank you for the phone call the names are big i i don't love them some of these
04:58guys for
04:58the lions for a variety of reasons at the edge spot but um but we'll go over that next hour
05:04a little
05:04bit there's a couple that i think might make sense for them in terms of scheme in terms of fit
05:09that
05:09example like gabe ackis has been a outside linebacker edge in a 3-4 defense that i'm not sure you
05:17know they
05:17don't run that kind of defense they could but there's there's different ways you can go about
05:21it but um you know there's stuff like that that you have to consider and ackis is a like i
05:28love that
05:28he's a wrestler like i love yeah that just tells me like miller by the way yeah if if he
05:33gets his
05:34hands on you you're going down you're not you're not breaking free from that tackle yeah uh and blake
05:40miller perhaps has the most badass younger brother name in the draft his younger brother is named storm
05:46and he's a linebacker at texas a&m look out and i think i'm already on my radar yeah keep
05:53an eye
05:53out for storm miller linebacker texas a&m blake's little brother 2 4 8 5 3 9 97 97 did
06:00you did you
06:01see the shots of fernando mendoza and his family yes they all look the same the mendoza family every
06:06male on that family looks they all look like fernando yeah interesting no i didn't notice that
06:11but i can count on you my well you bring up storm i'm just bringing that's right
06:17you know what we're doing right now this is actually we're kind of emptying the bucket
06:23useless information that we learned about guys in draft preparation uh bill is next hi bill
06:30hey good morning guys how are you what's up uh i'm just calling to address the uh negative comments
06:36i've been seeing on some of the podcasters about picking blake miller i've been i've been researching
06:42this guy and i've been doing it for weeks championship wrestler in high in high school
06:47uh freshman start offensive tackle played four years for clemson and 54 games he played now who
06:55in the offensive tackle realm has got more pedigree than that i just don't understand any negative
07:03one one one guy rated him a c on the a to e scale i couldn't even believe c was
07:09right man i'm just
07:10i'm just bitching but you know well look these are all opinions the one guy called who said i'm no
07:16scout neither are we we're all of us are unqualified and we all love sports and we all do our
07:22best and
07:23and and and okay i shouldn't say all of us got the holmes whisper back there
07:32uh no seriously i get it so everybody's entitled to their opinion i don't want it don't let it bother
07:38you bill are you happy with the pick i'm absolutely i'm tickled and delighted and i couldn't believe
07:44that he would actually fall to where we could get him well i could because nobody i have a lot
07:50of
07:50tackles mock draft mock drafts are weird because they feel like they're a true representation and we
07:57know they're not of the way things are going to go so to say you know you can't believe it
08:04fell to
08:05him or me saying i expected him to be there why did i expect him to be there because guys
08:09just like
08:10us rank the players and who they thought they were going to go to and it has no basis in
08:14reality
08:15i shouldn't say no it has less basis in reality because you know who's not giving up information
08:20general managers aren't probably giving up real information well as i look at the 32 players
08:26selected in last night's you know first round there are only a couple i think out of those 32 that
08:32were
08:33like a little bit of a head scratcher like everybody else those are mocked in the first round but
08:37jadarian price the running back who yeah and simpson yeah two four eight five three nine 97 97 we got
08:44open lines we're going to second round picks for the lions next 97 one
