00:01Rams step up to the plate
00:02add Miles Garrett
00:04my question
00:05is this why the Lions won't win a Super Bowl
00:08that this is the blind spot
00:10of Brad Holmes
00:11he's not making this move before he pays
00:14his guys and now he's not making
00:16this move because he paid his guys
00:18they look at it very
00:20differently in LA
00:22they are of the belief we can
00:24quote go all in and not nuke our
00:26future they won the Super Bowl
00:28in 2021
00:30not a small feat right that's the whole
00:32effing point they win the Super Bowl
00:34in 21 and then what was
00:36supposed to be a wasteland of rebuilding
00:38has been more playoff wins
00:40than the Lions since
00:42the Super Bowl so they've somehow
00:44and by the way position better to win the next
00:46Super Bowl than the Lions so what is Brad
00:48doing he's doing a very
00:50nice job but he's doing the whole
00:52job and my question is is this
00:54what will keep them from winning a Super Bowl
00:56I don't think it will be the reason
00:59I mean the main
01:00reason I think the main reason
01:02that would keep them from winning a Super
01:04Bowl would be
01:06something that
01:08I know people don't want to hear about because
01:10he's the great Brad Holmes
01:13and I think Brad Holmes
01:14has done a terrific job as well but
01:16and I know it's early
01:18but they won't win a Super
01:20Bowl if his last two draft
01:22classes continue to be
01:24what they've been doing I mean
01:2624 was bad 25
01:28hasn't developed anything yet
01:30it's still only one year and who
01:32knows about this year
01:33okay yeah
01:34it's it's fair to point out less
01:37need has really done a good job
01:38backfilling yes
01:40consistently more
01:41consistently would you argue yeah
01:43than Brad how about this for the
01:45Rams first round picks
01:46since 2016
01:48they took Jared Goff who was
01:50eventually traded
01:52they did not make a first round pick in
01:542017
01:552018
01:572019
01:592020
02:002021
02:012022
02:03or 2023
02:04right they made a first round pick in
02:0624 Jared Verse who has since been
02:08traded
02:08they did not make a first round pick in
02:102025
02:12Ty Simpson is the only player
02:14that they've used a first round pick on
02:16that's still on the roster
02:17right because he knows he's he's got to
02:19get a quarterback and he they
02:21they wanted this so badly
02:24that that they
02:25Stoney
02:26what
02:26Ty Simpson could get traded for Joe
02:28Burrow in three years
02:29that's true
02:29my point is they don't view it like
02:31if we don't keep all our firsts
02:33that our future is like Brad has
02:36the philosophy of draft and develop
02:38and I've found some great all pro
02:39pro bowl players
02:41so have the Rams
02:42and the Rams have done the same thing
02:44while still being aggressive
02:46yeah I mean
02:47that that's the bottom line
02:49I think it all still comes down to
02:52acquiring the great players
02:53as far as the
02:54rain main reason you do
02:56or don't win the Super Bowl
02:58trust me
02:59I think the Brad Holmes philosophy
03:01about not making these moves
03:02if they are available
03:04is flawed
03:06but I still think
03:07he's got to get
03:08do better than his last two drafts
03:13you know to
03:14the thing about this is
03:15like people
03:16some people are thinking
03:17the Rams got Garrett
03:19for less than what they thought
03:20the market was
03:21I call baloney on that
03:22they gave up a first
03:23a second
03:24and a third round pick
03:25but they also gave up
03:26and what in my mind
03:27is a top ten
03:28first round pick
03:29in Jared verse
03:30yes absolutely
03:31so they gave up two first
03:32a second
03:32and a third
03:33would you have done that
03:35two first
03:36a second
03:36and a third
03:37to me that's pricier
03:37than people thought
03:38nah
03:39I don't know
03:40I think people thought
03:41it might have taken
03:42two first
03:43and like a third
03:44yeah
03:45I wouldn't have
03:46batted an eye at that
03:46but the Browns said
03:47no
03:48they wanted
03:49a proven commodity
03:50they wanted verse
03:51versus their prerogative
03:53yes
03:54but I know
03:54Les Snead
03:54wasn't going to take
03:55no for an answer
03:55if you listen to the reporting
03:57call call call
03:58like an ex
03:59just repeatedly
04:00blowing up your phone
04:01late at night
04:01I'm getting this deal done
04:02he was willing
04:03to give up
04:03tons and tons
04:04more
04:05even draft capital
04:06because he
04:06did not want to
04:08give up Jared verse
04:09and Cleveland said
04:10look
04:10forget it
04:12we want Jared verse
04:14and some draft picks
04:15and if you don't do that
04:16then Miles Garrett's
04:17going to stay here
04:18so and you know
04:19but I think this is
04:20a great text
04:21this is the reason
04:22the Lions can be good
04:23but never great
04:24they play it safe
04:25supposedly Parsons
04:26was impossible to get
04:28will not be dealt
04:29Miles Garrett
04:30keep dreaming
04:31radio losers
04:31he's never getting moved
04:33well
04:34he did
04:35they did
04:36and we have a
04:36last place team
04:37text ends with
04:38yeah Brad
04:39keep playing it safe
04:41it's a great point
04:42about these
04:43untouchable players
04:43it's fantasy land
04:45radio
04:45Miles Garrett's
04:46never getting traded
04:47Micah Parsons
04:48isn't going to be traded
04:48you just have to be happy
04:50with Marcus Davenport
04:52or rookies
04:52or rotations
04:53the whole trading thing
04:55you know
04:55different sport
04:56once Wayne Gretzky
04:57was traded
04:57that whole narrative
04:58went away
04:59right
05:00I mean that was a long
05:00freaking time ago
05:02you know
05:02the greats
05:03of the game
05:04can be traded
05:06and have been traded
05:07text coming in
05:09Charles and Dearborn
05:10the Rams do it differently
05:11how many firsts
05:12will outplay
05:13Stafford
05:13or Garrett
05:14etc
05:15Holmes overvalues
05:16his own first round picks
05:18he doesn't add this in
05:19but Terry and Arnold
05:20would be an example
05:21yes
05:21right
05:22if he traded up
05:23to get Terry and Arnold
05:24he should have traded up
05:25to try to get Jared Verse
05:26would you trade Terry and Arnold
05:27and Tyleek Williams
05:29to a first round pick
05:29you know what I'm saying
05:31everybody assumes
05:32they're always going to hit
05:33right
05:35no GM
05:35or owner in Detroit
05:37has the man juice
05:38to go for it
05:39and make an all-in move
05:40that's
05:41pretty accurate
05:43Lions are a joke
05:44not making that move
05:45LA is a better organization
05:46than our joke
05:47of a franchise
05:48how the heck
05:48did they fit him
05:49under the salary cap
05:50Rams might even get
05:52Donald back
05:52out of retirement
05:53signed Rob
05:54there's some
05:54speculating with that
05:56wow
05:56we'll take some phone calls
05:58and feedback next
05:5897-1
05:59let's go to the next one
