Speaker 4 (01:49):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
It was the debut of the Aaron Rodgers experience with
the New York Jets. A Rodger met with the media yesterday.
He had everybody with the Jets in the front office,
whatdy Johnson, the owner, Robert Sala, everybody there in attendance
as he met with the media yesterday and his introductory
press conference, and amongst several of the items that Rogers

(02:10):
talked about, it was his excitement to be in New
York and also what the future could look like with
the Jets.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
The reason I take care of myself is to allow
myself to continue to play into my forties, and I
had always dreamt about being a starter at forty. I'll
turn forty in December of this year. But I'm going
to be here for the foreseeable future. I think it's important. Obviously,
I know the scheme that Hack's putting in. There's some tweaks,
but I want to get to know the guys and
be around the facility. I think I can just fit

(02:37):
in perfectly. I'm not here to be a savior of
many kind. I'mber is here to be the best quarterback
I can be, to lead authentically and to inspire the
guys around me to raise their level of play.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
So I'm talking about I'm in. Come on, Aaron Rodgers
with the Jets.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Relax, They're probably going to win.

Speaker 7 (02:59):
Yeah, yeah, No, I mean this team is in a
position now where I know Bill's Maffield will get upset
about it, and they probably want to see the Jets
do it first.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Go back to last year. Didn't they split with the Bills?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I believe so.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
Yeah, And you've got a team now that it's much
better because of their quarterback play, light years better because
of their quarterback player with Aaron Rodgers. So they're in
a different stratosphere right now in regards to how they
should be feeling and thinking about this upcoming season because
Aaron Rodgers comes in and immediately solves all of those

(03:34):
potential issues that you had. And I'll go a step
further and saying he's not a better team. The Jets
roster is a better roster than what the Packers had,
and he's so he's on a better team and they're
gonna even though they're in a tougher conference and in
a tougher division, I still think they are to the

(03:56):
top or right out there at the top of the
s East, if not, you know, tied with the Buffalo
Bills for odds to win the division in my mind.
And so I give them every benefit of the doubt
of not only making the playoffs, but making a run.
And I love the fact that I think initially when
he was asked about, you know, past this year, he

(04:16):
was noncommittal, which you know, given his contract situation.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
I think the Jets are going to own about one
hundred million over the next two years.

Speaker 7 (04:24):
You know, you you kind of want to be noncommittal
because you don't know how things are going to restructure.
And at this point in his career, this is his
leverage point, and I don't know that he wants to
jump to another team after this and pull like a
farv then with.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
The Minnesota Vikings.

Speaker 7 (04:37):
You know, maybe I'm wrong, but I think you use
that as your leverage point as you get towards the
end of your career to say to a team, look,
I'll come back, but you know, you got to make
it financially worth my while, and you figure out what
that number is as you work through this kind of
first year. But he later on said he's not just

(04:57):
you know, here for a for a one year thing,
which I I think should give Jets fans a lot
of hope, a lot of optimism for this is not
just being a one year flash in the pan thing.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
This could be two three years of really really fun,
good football.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
For the New York Jets. You know what I find
to be interesting. And I know it's like, it's like,
why is this even relevant? But I think it's relevant
that Aaron Rodgers is he's used to inclement weather conditions.
I think that plays like playing in New York, you
realize very quickly that the weather can play a major

(05:34):
role in the success of the team. And and so
you're not only bringing in a proven quarterback that is
tremendous in what he brings to the table, skill set, wise,
he's he's played in worse weather conditions for his entire
pro career, and so when you you add that, and

(05:56):
I know you might, you we could look at, you know,
the media aspect of it. I think he's that's a
foregone conclusion that no matter how bad it gets with
the New York media, I think Aaron Rodgers is the
type of personality that won't get rattled by that media.
It won't bother him to be on the tabloids, and

(06:19):
I think that he'll always have a response that will
be fitting for who Aaron Rodgers is and what we've
come to know. I think that could be a tremendous positive. Obviously,
if you're winning, that's a tremendous positive. If you're losing,
it could run. It could run short. I mean, it
could get interesting with the way the media is there.
But I think he's the perfect type of person to

(06:42):
be able to handle that. But I just think in
looking at just purely on the field, what he's going
to be able to do. You take the elements of
his familiarity of the play caller, you take the personnel groupings.
The only thing that I would say is if you
were bringing him from somewhere like Miami or from California

(07:02):
or something to that effect, or Texas. You know, you're
going to wonder and you're going to ask yourself is
he able to acclimate to the climate conditions that he's
going to be subjected to? And I just think that
if you're looking at any of the concerns that could
be there, if the only concern, the only true major concern,

(07:25):
is his motivation to play for how long is he
going to play? Like, what is he thinking in terms
of amount of time? If that's the only concern that
you have coming into this, you gotta believe that even
if it's just for one season, this one season is
going to be a pretty freaking interesting season for that

(07:48):
Jets team.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
And I also think like the Farv comp When Farv
got to the Jets, they were the same age, they
were thirty nine years old. He wasn't playing at the
level that Rogers has been playing at and he was
a little big up last year, but you know, back
to back MVP seasons, Rogers strikes me as a type
of guy who he's not making this move just for
the one year just to say he did it. He

(08:10):
seems really really motivated to want to show like, Okay,
I mean you guys, you know we're ready to move
on for me after I came out of the darkness,
and you know, we can get into that stuff later on.
As far as their communication and all that, I just
I never looked at this and thought, all right, this
is a one and done, like this is a guy
who keeps himself in good shape, as he pointed out,
and he's going to go there for multiple years because

(08:32):
I think he understands it's tough to go to a
new place and win right away. But at least give
him a couple of years and I think they're gonna
have a ton of success.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
I think he's going to give them at least three
wins that they didn't have last year. At least that
gets them the ten. I mean, we don't have the
schedule yet. We talked about this yesterday, but that gets
you into the playoffs. Once you get in the playoffs,
to me, experience is huge. You know, you want a
quarterback who's been there before. He understands that it's an
elevated speed of game. Everything is that much, you know,

(09:00):
greater magnified when you get out there, so you know,
all all those things he's going to be very comfortable with,
confident with, and be able to help a lot help
a lot of the young guys who you know, aren't
aware of all that. He looked like he was energized,
Like it was almost as if, you know, this new
opportunity is kind of like revamped or you know, reinvigorated.

(09:23):
Maybe his feelings towards the game, you know, of having
a group of people the New York Jets, And I
don't just go as far as saying this, I don't
know that the timing could have been any better for
Aaron Rodgers or the New York Jets. The Jets have
the longest playoff drought of any of the four major

(09:44):
sports in the US of any professional team, and so
he comes to them at a time where they have won.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Of Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 (09:51):
Since Super Bowl three, they haven't been to the playoffs and
what going on thirteen years now, and you get now
a guy who's fe like he's been wrong. And as
you touched on, we can get into the lack of
communication or what happened between him and Green Bay, but
I think there was a sense of when they drafted
Jordan Love that the clock was started and I think

(10:13):
every single day it sat at his desk in the
quarterback room went.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tic tic tic tic
tic tick tick tick tick.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
And eventually, you know, he won an MVP, won another MVP.
But it probably got exhausting having to sit there and
look around at an organization that was waiting for you,
just waiting for the first instance, for you to stumble
and for you to not be able to play at an.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
MVP level to go.

Speaker 7 (10:38):
He beat them to the point yep, yep, time to go,
Time to thanks for everything you did here.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
We we'd like to move on.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
And that's I think the reality that he was living
for the past few years. And you know, and at times,
I'm sure through COVID and everything else, there was other
things that came to light that people tried to focus on,
but that weight was constantly on his shoulders ever since
they drafted Jordan Love.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
And that's a tough thing to deal with when you
sit there.

Speaker 7 (11:05):
And have to go to work every day and look
at the guy who's gonna be replacing you and they're
just waiting for you to fail, They're waiting for you
to stumble.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
That's tough.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Now you get to a place where they're rejoicing. I mean,
everyone's there to greet you as soon as you walk
in the door. I mean he had Woody Johnson after
kind of the awkward introduction, just introduced Darren Watchinson's sad down.
He's got the odor popping back up out of his
seat to go shake his head after he made a joke.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Was supposed to shake a hand or something. Is in
this how this works?

Speaker 7 (11:34):
I mean, that's how excited I think everyone is, and
they should be that the Jets are now relevant in
a serious way. It's not fluff, it's not hype and
whatever the Zach Wilson hype was last year. This is
real and he doesn't have to worry about looking, you know,
looking at a guy sitting in the room that they're
excited about replacing him. They brought him in because of

(11:55):
the guy they had in the room they weren't excited about.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
And now they really have a chance of making a
run here.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
And also he's a pretty Aaron Rodgers, a pretty calculated guy,
as we've seen over the past couple of years. I
don't think he makes this jump unless he's one hundred
percent confident he's ready for it. He's going to be good.
They're going to be good, and everybody's going to be
able to just move. And also with Nathaniel Hackett being there,
I can imagine that just makes his transition that much easier.

(12:24):
So just seeing all that, I don't know how this doesn't.

Speaker 7 (12:26):
Work, that's the that's the most difficult part of any transition,
for for an athlete and probably even for like someone
in business.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Right you've moved to a different company.

Speaker 7 (12:34):
You know, they've got different acronyms for things, whether it's
within their culture, whether it's their processes, whether it's just
even even the landmarks on their campus or whatever their headquarters.
You know, you got to learn, like like the language
of how people speak. I mean, that's what it is
when you're talking about speaking a different offense. When you
go to a new team, like people always are like,
oh man, it didn't work out well. The guys played

(12:55):
in three different offenses in three years. What do you expect.
It's like, try to do your job speaking one day
in English, the next day in French, then and then
or excuse me, the next year in French, next year
in Spanish. It's hard to be able to master that
unless you've been in that system for a while, and
so he's gonna be able to step in there right
away week you know, day one today, because he's going

(13:16):
to practice with the team and he'll know all the plays,
and more so than that, he'll already be sitting at
the line of scrimmage changing those plays. And so for
a team that had a top five defense last year
and a bottom five you know offense based on you know,
yard or scoring, and you know yards was a little
bit better than that, he's going to give a huge

(13:36):
boost to a team that I just I think they
you have to consider them part of that kind of
Super Bowl contending team. If there's eight to ten teams
you think can win a Super Bowl, the Jets are
definitely not.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
One of them.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah, I think so as well too. It is two

You can get him on Twitter at Albert Breer, Big Al,
Happy Draft Day. What the hell's going on?

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Yeah, big Al?

Speaker 5 (15:38):
Thanks, thanks for the music too. I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Not us man, and I don't know why anybody want
to put you in a bad mood this early in
the morning, but.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
Hey, at least you'll have an Ohio steak guy go
off the board before Michigan guy.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
Yeah. How many?

Speaker 8 (15:52):
How many Michigan guys have been going the first round tonight?

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Probably one? If that I mean Mazzie Smith?

Speaker 8 (15:57):
Right maybe maybe right right right? And I think up
three in the top half of the first round. So
no excuses next year, Brady.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
No excuses, all right?

Speaker 3 (16:05):
So Albert, we got to know the Houston Texans at two?
What are you hearing? Has to be speculation?

Speaker 8 (16:13):
Yeah, you know, I think this is sort of down to,
you know, a defensive player and a quarterback. And I
know that sounds simplistic. I think it's Tyree Wilson versus
whichever quarterback, and I'm not sure exactly which one it is,
but you know, I think at the beginning of this
process and when they started to really drill down on
the prospects site, you know, I've heard Tmiko Ryan sort

(16:35):
of advocated for the idea of taking the detensive player.
And if you look, you know at where he's coming from.
And you know what they were able to accomplish in
San Francisco when they went up and got a quarterback
it was Trey Lance. And yet they went to three
NFC title games in the lot four years with two
quarterbacks not named Trey Lance. So and then you know
when they spent when they spent, when they spent a

(16:57):
pick high and a defensive player was Nick Bosa. So
you know, I think the Miko's only message, there's just
not to force it. And if the best player there
and the biggest difference makers a defensive player, consider that.
And I'm not sure they're settled on in either guys.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
They've kept a really.

Speaker 8 (17:13):
Tight surfer when it comes to this and so my
guess would be be Tyrie Wilson or CJ. Strave.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
We'll see the knight.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
The interesting thing about Tyrie Wilson, and not a lot
of people have talked about this, is he's coming off
what I think is a Liszt Frank injury, isn't he
he is?

Speaker 8 (17:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (17:27):
Yeah, which is I mean, like I dealt with it.
That's a serious deal. It can impact you and the
way you move, you know, moving forward. But the only
other thing that doesn't make sense to me if Demiko
Ryans is taking that stance is let's just think about this,
because if we're going to say, well, they traded up
to take Trey Lance and they've been able to have
success getting deep into the playoffs without him, you can't

(17:48):
just go well and look, we spent a first round
pick on Nick Bosa, and look who the results are.
First off, you spent a first round pick on Eric Armstead.
You originally had spent a first round pick on DeForrest Buckner.
You spent a first round pick on Nick bos You
spent a first pick a Javon Kinlaw. I mean, you
spent first round picks on every single defensive player that
has essentially been on your d line for the past,
but five years wherever it's been like, you can use

(18:11):
that strategy, but then you're gonna have to wait another
four years of you accumulating all this defensive talent up front,
or you can go get a quarterback that's going to
help improve your level of play in a guy like
c J. Stroud right away. How does that make any
actual logical sense when you think about it.

Speaker 8 (18:25):
Yeah, I'm with you, Brady, And I think part of
it too, is like if you want to come out
of this with a quarterback and an edge rusher, right,
I think part of it is the argument like it
might be harder to get an edge rusher with a
twelve pick or trading up from the twelve pick, then.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
It would be to get a quarterback.

Speaker 8 (18:40):
And let's say your guy isn't CJ. Stroud, right, Let's
say it's Anthony Richardson, or let's say it's well Levice. Well,
then maybe you think, you know, with a twelfth pick
you can get that quarterback. That's that's the logic I've
heard on.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
It, you know.

Speaker 8 (18:53):
Or if you think the quarterbacks are close, if you
have those three guys ranked close or two of the
three ranked close. Maybe look at it that way. Now,
I'd argue like that when it comes to quarterbacks, you
probably shouldn't get cute with it, you know, like because
there's a good chance if you get cute with it
that you're gonna wind up.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
Losing your guy.

Speaker 8 (19:11):
But you know, I think that's part of the logic here.
And I mean, look, they got two first round picks
next year too. I think we all know about the
quarterbacks that are going to be coming out next year.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
That's part of it.

Speaker 8 (19:20):
And I'm with you on Tyree Wilson's foot, Like, I
think that's a real concern, and I know some teams
have failed him. My understanding is the Texans pass him
on the physical so I think they're okay with it,
but it's at least going to limit him in the
spring of the summer and he's gonna you know, again,
like as you just kind of alluded to their Brady,
those foot injuries, especially the Liz Frank can be really

(19:42):
tricky and they can later.

Speaker 7 (19:43):
I can't wear shoes that are like I mean, I've
got to get like wide shoes. Everyone says I look
like quasi moto. I'm embarrassed for sandals. I mean, I'm
telling you people that Liz Frank thing like that'll jack
you up. I mean not only with your foot selection,
but like even your self esteem the rest of your life.
It's it's a miserable injury to go through.

Speaker 8 (20:05):
Yeah, And I think it's certainly something that is inconsideration,
like teams that are up there in the top ten
and I think he goes somewhere between two and eight
if I had to guess, But it's a consideration for
every single team.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
And again, like there are teams that have failed them.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
What's the story your highest so on going into the draft.

Speaker 8 (20:25):
I just think, how the I mean, I know it's
the easy one, LeVar, but it's it's how the quarterbacks
come off the board.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
And you know, I think, you know, there's a scenario.

Speaker 8 (20:33):
Where and we all talked about the possibility that like,
you know, four come off in the first five picks
or something like that.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
I think, you know, one or two of them could
could have.

Speaker 8 (20:42):
A little longer night, you know. And I just think
part of it is you can poke holes in every
one of them. I think part of it is the
classes coming next year, and if you have some job
security and you're not like one hundred percent sold on
these guys that maybe it makes sense to wait. So
I think all four of them are going to go
in the first round. I just don't know that it's

(21:03):
gonna be like bang bang bang bang like that. You know,
that'd be one storyline that I think is gonna be
interesting to follow the night, and then the other one,
you know, there's this cliff Like so, I think you've
got eight players in the draft, eight non quarterbacks that
are above everybody else. Right, So you got the three
pass rushers and Tyree Wilson, will And Anderson and and
Jalen Carter, the two corners where they're spooning Gonzalez, the

(21:24):
two offensive linemen in Paris Johnson, Peter Skeronski.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
And then Vijon Robinson.

Speaker 8 (21:30):
And I think what that's done having that group and
then maybe there's not a big difference between like the
eleventh tick and the fifty first pick create this cliff.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
And so I think those teams like eleven.

Speaker 8 (21:42):
Twelve, thirteen, fourteen are both going to be looking at
going up and going down.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
And I can tell you you know, the Titans.

Speaker 8 (21:49):
The Texans, the Patriots, those teams have all made calls
about both going up or going down. Basically with the
logic beings, we either want to get up in that
top group or we just don't think the values there
were sitting.

Speaker 5 (22:01):
So we're gonna, We're gonna, let's move back.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Albert Brier joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, senior
NFL reporter at the MMQB. You can get him on
Twitter at Albert Brier. All Right, So, hottest rumor you've
heard of the past twenty four forty eight hours in
the first round of the draft is what?

Speaker 8 (22:20):
You know? I I think like the Will Levis stuff
is so all over the place, Like it's like, I
feel like he could really Like a week and a
half ago, I thought he was gonna I thought he
was really gonna slide.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
It's all like he was thinking like a stone.

Speaker 8 (22:35):
And then there was a pivot point and then the
Peyton Manning stuff came out, and then he started getting
connected to the Colts, and I just think, like, you know,
Peyton Manning and Jim Mersey, like that connection there, like
everything that you're hearing on on Will Levis, you.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Know, has just been i mean really really crazy, you know.

Speaker 8 (22:54):
And and then I'd say with with Anthony Richardson. It's
just this idea that team's higher than you think might
really like him. So like, I just think the intrigue
with those.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Two, I think it's really interesting.

Speaker 8 (23:08):
And then you know, I think the idea that some
veteran players could move, like that the Commanders will listen
to offers on Chase Young, not say they're going to
trade him, and I don't know if they'll getting off
but moving him, but that the Commanders could listen on
Chase Young, that the Broncos could listen on Courtland Sutton
and Jerry Judy, that the Vikings could listen on Dalvin Cook.
Like I think once we get past the first round,

(23:31):
you know, and teams have an idea of like, Okay,
here's what we got with our first round pick, here's
who we're looking at taking the second and third round.
Maybe you see some movement with some of the veteran players.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
You know, Albert, I was going to ask you about
Hendon Hooker.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
He's a guy that from all accounts I know he's
older but really had a couple of prolific years at Tennessee.
He is coming off an ACL injury, but we saw
video of him yesterday throwing. It seems like he might
be ready for September. And he's a tremendous young man.
For anyone who had a chance to listen to speak,
Is there a chance of team maybe back getting in
the first round something like that would take Hennon Hooker.

Speaker 8 (24:06):
Yeah, you know, I I there's some interesting scenarios there, Brady,
Like I think like you could see a team kind
of at the top of the second round that maybe
didn't get a quarterback trading back up into the bottom
of the first round.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
We've seen that before, of course, happened with you know.

Speaker 8 (24:21):
With with with Teddy Bridgewater years ago.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
You know, so I could certainly.

Speaker 8 (24:26):
See where, you know, maybe a team that that that
doesn't feel comfortable taking one in the top ten, or
maybe a team that missed on one of the top ten,
like let's say Indianapolis. Let's say Stroud goes second to
say Stroud goes second to Houston, and then let's say
they're not wild about Levi Bridges. And I'm not saying
that's the case, but let's just say that if that

(24:46):
scenario plays out, well, the Colts did a lot of
work on Hendon Hooker. They had him in at the
very beginning of the process on a thirty visits, and
so they could potentially be a team that's like looking
at the top of the second round and saying, you
know what, let's just aggressive, go get our guy, get
the fifth year option on Hendon Hooker, and be done
with it. I really feel like, but if he was

(25:06):
healthy and twenty two years old, he'd probably even mixed
with these other guys, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
it just it just feels like the fact that he's
a little older. I believe he turns into twenty He
turns twenty six, I think in January, right, So, like
if this year's a washer a red shirt year because
of the knee, maybe you're not getting a full year
out of him until you know, the year he turns

(25:27):
twenty seven. But quarterbacks play longer now acl injuries aren't
what they used to be, and so I think, you know,
it could be interesting at the bottom of the first
round with him.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Aby and looking at this year's draft, there's always someone
who impacts their their draft status, you know, under the radar.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Oh, I thought you meant like the gas mask bong thing.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
This year.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
I wanted to stay positive and not take it negative.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
But please have that comeback for one more year, please.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Well, since you brought it up and it was funny,
who who has impacted their draft status positively or negatively?
Has there been any, because it seems like it's been
pretty quiet.

Speaker 8 (26:19):
Yeah, So, like I'll give you a couple of names,
you know, and like I think last year, if you
look like last year, I think the guy who was
the cleanest was Trent McDuffie, right, Like, I remember people
just being allowed by like how he came off in
meetings and the type of kid he was right like,
and so it was like, you are not going to
miss him, this kid, and sure enough he winds up.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Being a starter for the Super Bowl champions.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
Right. So I think that kid this year's Devin Weatherspoon
from Illinois. It feels to me, and Brady might be
familiar with him. I don't know if he came across
him like during the season in the Big Ten, but.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Just watch this tape. He's a stud.

Speaker 8 (26:55):
Yeah, so like he he has apparently been a home
run in all of his meetings and just the type
of kid where like he's small and that's question.

Speaker 9 (27:04):
Him and so you look at oh no, yes, we had,
we need this, we needed you had such a great
street gav damn it it came to just now you're
like Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
You have cell phone issues at your house apparently.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Man, oh no, no ports again, I'm not in the car.
I'm in my ports.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Can you hear it's better now? Yeah, it's better now?

Speaker 5 (27:32):
Okay, all right, damn it, damn it those three.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
Historical so uh so No, I say, Devin Witherspoon is
like a kid who checks every single box except for size, right, like,
and he's done great in his interviews, and I think
he's really really helped himself through the process. I think
the corner from Mississippi State who is freaking tying, he's
like one hundred and sixty pounds. But he's another one
who's really helped himself, you know. I I think Will

(28:00):
Levis has been I'd say the reviews had been mixed
in his interviews. And I don't know how much Jalen
Carter has helped himself. Like, I think there are teams
that are still enthralled with the talent, and what you
hear coming out of the interviews is they're okay with him,
like they think they can handle him, but you don't
hear like, oh wow, he really turned it around on them.

(28:22):
So like I think, you know, the Seahawks, the Lions,
the Bears, the Eagles, they've all grappled with this, you know,
Like I think the Eagles could potentially go up for him,
but I think they're all sort of kind of trying
to wrap their heads around can we get this kid
in the right path? And I think, like you see

(28:43):
the teams that all those teams like, right except for Chicago,
the three others really have like some establishment in their programs.
Right Like in Seattle, you see like some veteran players
in that lock on the Eagles feel like they could
absorb them, having like Jordan Davis and na Kobe Demon
and a bunch of veterans locker room Detroit. Of course,
Dan Campbell, it looks like he's really kind of turned

(29:03):
that locker room around, you know.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
I'd say with Jalen.

Speaker 8 (29:07):
Carter, it's not that he has really changed many people's
opinions on him in the interviews. It's more okay, like, well,
we feel all right with this based.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
On the talent that he brings to the table.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
All right, Albert, before we let you go, we got
about twenty seconds. Yeah, do you anticipate him and just
you know, off the top of my head, just kind
of you know, spitball in here. Do you anticipate there
being more or less than three and a half Ohio
State football players selected in the first round tonight?

Speaker 5 (29:34):
I would go under. I see it's gonna be the three.

Speaker 8 (29:36):
Yeah, I would go the three. I would just say,
I mean, I think CJ and Jackson and Paris Johnson,
I think they all go in the first half of
the first round. If I had to guess right now,
If I had to guess right now, and you guys
can hold me to this, I'd say, I'll say CJ
to the Colts, I'll say Paris Johnson to the Raiders.
I'll say Jackson spit and jig bit of the Jets.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
How about that?

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Think what there's no way he falls to fifteen.

Speaker 8 (30:04):
I'm I think I think there is a way, Brady.
I mean, he could go to the Packers at thirteen.
I actually think the Packers have Texans their eyes on
The Packers have.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
Their eyes on your Notre Dame tight End.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Of course they do. I mean he's fine this year.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
I mean, you need that security blanket as a quarterback,
especially for Jordan Love.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Not Dame, notre dame. Sort of tight end you, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (30:27):
You with your guy for something.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, I think we just got a lot of tight
ends though we got we got one.

Speaker 7 (30:32):
We've had every starting tight ends since two thousand and four,
notre ends been drafted, every single one.

Speaker 4 (30:38):
I think we've had it too well. No, not that
far back, not that far back, but pretty far like.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Don't don't, don't don't.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Your last two tight ends have been good.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, because last three you're sicky Jesse James friar Mouth
from now we've got Brenton Strange in this one.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
I mean a tight end though, yes, no, don't do that.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
I just want to do.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Don't do that.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Don't do that, do that.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
All of the little shot to the ribs from his
porch as we have shot Albert, we appreciate it. Get

Speaker 10 (33:30):
I have been losing you, Ryan low Lifetamily, the gen.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
It's over under, alright, lead to lap.

Speaker 10 (33:37):
What do we got the over under? Everyone's got their
eye on over unders. Total number of quarterbacks are drafted
in the first round four and a half.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Over over, Let's take over to.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Hey, can I throw that? Can I throw scenario?

Speaker 2 (33:52):
You guys?

Speaker 7 (33:53):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Team to watch that could trade up in the first
round to take Hendon Hooker? Yeah, Tennessee Titans. What bring
him home? You got a new stadium getting built.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
In years three?

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Quarterbacks? Who is it there? Vito?

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Who there.

Speaker 10 (34:16):
Another quarterback?

Speaker 5 (34:19):
That that being?

Speaker 10 (34:20):
Anthony Richardson is over under his four and a half.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Over? Huh? Over?

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Who's that?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Verdo?

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Hey are fifteen?

Speaker 5 (34:33):
Baby?

Speaker 4 (34:37):
This is tough. I'm gonna say the over. And the
only reason I say that is he's got the most
ability of any quarterback in this draft class. But he's
also only got one year of experience.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
So maybe there's going to be a team like the
Raiders Tennessee you just mentioned They've got a couple of
guys who he doesn't have to play right away and
could learn the system and eventually they could put him in.
So I want to say the over, but I could
see him going higher on that.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
I mean, it looks like there's gonna be two defensive
players going in the top five, so that would kind
of leave him the outside.

Speaker 7 (35:17):
Look at it, yes, even Seattle, though you know, I
mean with with Gino there, it's essentially a one year deal.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
They could draft him and let him sit for a
year and learn.

Speaker 10 (35:26):
So, guys, we've talked about a different conference every day.
Today's the SEC number of SEC players drafted in the
first round is at eleven and a half.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Over Jesus, you know, they've led Flick the past decade
or so.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Like you just think about that, a third of the
entire first round will be from one conference Like that,
that's how dominant they are.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
All the fringe guys, too, are essentially like SEC guys.

Speaker 7 (35:53):
Like back in the first round, you know you've got
like a bj O Jilari, you know, who's an edge rusher,
and Manuel four Sue came up as one of the cornerbacks.
He's undersized ou Mississippi State, but he's really long for
being like really slight a frame. But there's there's like
plenty of fringe guys who are like all SEC guys
right or even like Jamior Gibbs hasn't been getting as

(36:13):
talked about as much as the first round pick. A
running back very much able to be looked at as that,
and he's obviously from Bama.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
So I think over.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Also, don't sleep on your fellow irishman. O Cyrus Torrence
out of Florida, The Guard.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Why is he a fellow irishman.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
He's got an apostrophe in his first O Cyrus.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
So anyone with an apostrophe in their first name is
Irish for this show, Yes, oh oh, that's how it works.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Berto, No, I mean.

Speaker 10 (36:45):
Guys, only thirty one picks on the first round. Number
of picks Jay Glazer gets right on Draft Night Live
thirty and a half over over.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
I can't believe Jonas did not get the button that
it's crazy. Thank you, thank you, I mean it.

Speaker 10 (37:00):
With any mispronunciations by Roger Goodell Tonight out a half
Yes over over.
