00:01All right, it's a wild card.
00:03I don't know what the hell we're going to.
00:04David hit the music.
00:05Surprise me.
00:33All right, gentlemen, as we're probably about a little over a month away
00:39from the trade deadline, I just want to go over some people
00:44that are the highest to probably get traded.
00:48Also, along with that, I got some names that have been linked
00:51with the Detroit Lions.
00:52So, Michael, I'm going to help make your day.
00:54What do you want?
00:55Dealer's choice.
00:56What would you like to hear?
00:57Jonathan Taylor.
00:59Jonathan Taylor.
01:00Jonathan Taylor, Michael.
01:02He is a guy that is out there to be traded, and the Giants
01:06and the Seattle Seahawks are the two teams most linked to him.
01:10If you're Seattle, let me ask you this question.
01:12You're trying to go back-to-back.
01:14You let K-9 out the door.
01:16I understand Charbonnet's back at practice this week.
01:18Fine.
01:19Do you dare give up a first-round pick to go get Jonathan Taylor?
01:24Sam Darnold clearly cannot function without an elite running game
01:27because he's a ginger idiot.
01:29I'm asking the question.
01:30It's easy to say a second-round pick.
01:32Would you outbid everyone and give up your first-rounder this year
01:35to get Jonathan Taylor on your team?
01:38I would.
01:39Here's why.
01:40Very simple.
01:43The NFC is down.
01:46There's really only one team standing in your way,
01:48and you just played them to a dogfight.
01:50Correct.
01:51Without him.
01:52So imagine what happens if you actually had a running game
01:55to match up with Sam Darnold and JSN.
01:59Absolutely.
02:00Because the Rams have collapsed,
02:02and there's really nobody else in the NFC to fight.
02:05Paulie, go ahead.
02:06No, I wouldn't do that.
02:08They just used a first-round pick on a running back in Jadarius Price.
02:11Yeah, but he stinks, and then it's hurt.
02:13Yeah, so you're going to go with another one.
02:15Yes.
02:16And that's assuming that Darnold can relive what he did for you last year,
02:20because so far this year, not so much.
02:22No, but again, that's why last year was Trent Dilfer.
02:27Last year was Magic Flacco.
02:29Last year was Jeff Hostetler's fever dream.
02:32He's still Sam Darnold.
02:33He's a ginger.
02:34See, I think that, Paul, if he had a running game,
02:36you would have to respect that,
02:38because right now it's just JSN and who?
02:42Yeah, I kind of feel like they're self-aware enough.
02:45To not go all in on a year where they're probably not going to win the Super Bowl again.
02:52Oh, okay.
02:52David, I thought maybe you were going to say something.
02:54I love the, between you two.
02:55Good.
02:57Another name that is out there, linked to your Detroit Lions,
03:02is Buda Baker, safety, Arizona Cardinals.
03:04Love it.
03:05Just don't think they'd ever do it.
03:07Buda's been a very good player.
03:09He's in his 10th year, a little long in the tooth.
03:11I don't have belief that Kirby will be able to stay healthy.
03:15But are they going to give up the type of draft capital that would take?
03:18I just hesitate from that.
03:20But I love him as a player.
03:22He's also a decent blitzer.
03:23He's a playmaker.
03:25But, you know, Paulie, go ahead.
03:26It's like, yes, I would love it.
03:27I just, I'd be shocked.
03:29No, I'd have no issue with it.
03:31He's a different type of safety than Kirby, though.
03:33He's more of like with branches, really.
03:35So you'd have two Brian branches,
03:36a guy that could do a little everything, play in the slot, blitz.
03:40That's optionality, as we like to call it.
03:42Yes, he'd be a great player for them.
03:43I don't know if they'll do it, though, to Mike's point.
03:46Okay, let me give you something that maybe the Lions would.
03:49Maybe that name's just a little too out there for the Lions.
03:52But let's go to the cornerback position,
03:53where they obviously need some help.
03:55I got a list of names.
03:56I have four names that you could tell me if you think that this,
04:00they could end up becoming Lions.
04:02One, Dante Jackson, Chargers.
04:06Yeah, I mean, possible.
04:10I just think more backups like Christian Fulton or, you know.
04:14Christian Fulton is on the list.
04:16Greg Newsome from your team.
04:18Oh, from the Giants?
04:19Yeah.
04:19Whatever, you can have him.
04:21Zion McCollum.
04:22Yeah, I think that's more in the classification
04:25of what Brad would be comfortable with, yeah.
04:27You know, like the other one that's interesting to me
04:29is like, would you take a look at Reek Wollin?
04:30He's on a one-year deal with the Eagles.
04:32They might be in fire sale.
04:34But that's more of the Brad Holmes shopping bin to me.
04:38I'll stand on it.
04:39I think they really effed up not getting Porter Jr.
04:42All right, I'm going to go to the other side of Somerset Mall.
04:45I would say like Keeley Ringo is another guy
04:48that's been sort of on the depth chart for the Eagles
04:50that wouldn't cost a lot.
04:51That might be a Brad Holmes type move,
04:53along with like Reek Wollin, like Mike said.
04:55I think another guy to be interesting to see
04:58is because he was already here,
04:59and we all know Brad likes familiarity.
05:01Amik Robertson trading and getting him back
05:03from the Commanders, they're not going anywhere.
05:05No, and he's been their best corner.
05:06Yeah, and he's actually been really good.
05:08He's had a really good season so far.
05:09Okay.
05:10It's weird.
05:11They could have paid him seven to keep him.
05:12They decided we'll go bargain basement
05:14and pay McCreary a mil.
05:16Which to pay for.
05:17They've let guys walk
05:18and then replaced them with far less.
05:20Correct.
05:20Like they let Davis leave,
05:23replace him with the worst player.
05:24They let Robertson leave,
05:25replace him with the worst player.
05:26Mm-hmm.
05:28Okay.
05:28A couple other safeties linked to the Lions.
05:32Derwin James and Amani Hooker.
05:36I mean, I think both guys are too good for Brad Holmes.
05:39I don't think you're giving up what it would take.
05:42I mean, Derwin James is going to require
05:43a hell of a lot more than a third-round pick
05:45unless I'm out of my mind.
05:46No.
05:46They're good players.
05:47I would love to have more playmakers in the secondary,
05:50but I think your previous list,
05:52that felt like the Brad Holmes aisle.
05:54I know.
05:55Sorry.
05:56No, no.
05:56That was the settle list.
05:57This was the, let's dream list.
05:59Okay.
06:00Paul, go ahead.
06:00Well, no.
06:00Derwin James, that's a,
06:01you got to give up at least a two
06:03and probably plus that.
06:04And more.
06:05Plus, yeah, two and something else.
06:07I don't think Brad Holmes would do that.
06:08Okay.
06:09He's hurt a lot, though.
06:10That might turn Brad on.
06:13Your hamstring's sore?
06:14Wait a second now.
06:16I got a couple of other names,
06:18not linked to the Lions,
06:19but just big names in the NFL.
06:21So we could have some fun with that.
06:23Okay.
06:23We're not going to be hamstrung by Brad.
06:25Okay.
06:26I guess the,
06:27one of the top trade baits would be
06:29Jeffrey Simmons from the Titans.
06:32Immediately, I think Buffalo.
06:34I think Green Bay.
06:38I don't want to say it because it'll anger me,
06:40but I know somehow you'd have the voodoo
06:42to do it with the salary cap.
06:43I'd love to see him on the Niners.
06:46I think that that's just another acquisition you make.
06:48But look, if you're Buffalo or Green Bay,
06:50those would be the two for me.
06:52Green Bay lost an all,
06:53a pro bowl defensive tackle
06:54and Buffalo just hasn't gotten it right.
06:57And I know Ed Oliver's been banged up.
06:59If I put Jeffrey Simmons next to Ed Oliver,
07:01boy, that looks different.
07:02Those would be the two I'd immediately think about.
07:04A name to,
07:05a team to watch out for
07:06that they're saying Chicago Bears.
07:09That could work too.
07:10Sure.
07:11I thought DeForest Buckner
07:12would be interesting as a bear.
07:14Shorter term commitment,
07:15less draft capital,
07:16over the age of 30,
07:18Colts might be selling,
07:19I thought DeForest Buckner.
07:20Again, Bears, Niners, Bills, Pack.
07:22Those would be like the four I could rattle off.
07:25And then one more, David, if I may,
07:26Vita Veya.
07:32Right now, the team's enlisted,
07:34just for time,
07:35Packers, Bears, Niners, Raiders,
07:38and the New York Giants.
07:40Yeah, I mean,
07:41the Giants have a need.
07:42You got to pay him, though.
07:43This is a guy that's very similar to Porter Jr.
07:46You got to give him a contract.
07:48He's unique, man.
07:49They just don't make defensive tackles like him.
07:52Right.
07:52He's very similar to Simmons.
07:54You're going to pay a premium there.
07:55What that is,
07:56I don't know.
07:56But yeah,
07:57look,
07:58my fear in all of this
07:59is while you're busy shopping
08:01at the dollar store,
08:02like if the Packers come home with Buckner
08:04and the Bears come home with Jeffrey Simmons,
08:06you're going,
08:08who we got?
08:09Christian Fulton.
08:10Who are you?
08:10Right.
08:11So go ahead, Paul.
08:15No,
08:15I was going to say,
08:16like to me,
08:16like Vita Veya on the Lions.
08:20I mean,
08:20that's like him,
08:22Tyreek Williams,
08:23and Paul Long.
08:24Yeah,
08:24but Tyreek's been good this year.
08:26He's dirt cheap.
08:27That's a rotation that's unbelievable.
08:29And I know I'm in the minority.
08:30I know the Lions defensive line
08:32is the best unit.
08:34Make your best unit better.
08:36Go out and get a player
08:37and make it lights out.
08:39Don't just sit back and say,
08:40oh,
08:41we're good here.
08:42That's your NFL Blitz 97.
08:44One.
