Speaker 2 (00:13):
Ian.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Good afternoon, sir. You're all with Ryan Edwards and Ryan Harris.
How Aorry man?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
What's going on? How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We're doing great, very well. Obviously very interesting week every
year with the draft, but today you had multiple reports
this morning that the Broncos might be aggressive in the
first round and possibly moving up for a running back.
Or you hearing anything?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, I mean, first of all, if the Broncos were
aggressive in the first round, that wouldn't surprise me. I
mean Sean Payton. Well, one look, you always hear rumors
about everyone, and I do hear the Broncos have been
making calls about potentially moving up. One good thing about
Sean Payton is he's done it before. So when rumors circulate,
(00:56):
everyone knows, like, all right, like this is possible. At
least it's not nonsense. It's something that could absolutely be real. Right,
I'd be surprised if it as a running back. I
wouldn't be surprised if it was for a receiver. And
I know that they've sort of said like they're happy
with the receivers and all that. I just I just
(01:17):
sort of wonder, like, is there a receiver they like
enough where they say like it's not a great receiver group,
it's okay, not a great receiver group. Do they have
to trade up for one to get the kind of
quality they want? Maybe? Maybe would sort of fly against
the conventional wisdom and what they've said, But I think
back to last year kind of like knowing what they
said and then what they did, they're sort of like
(01:42):
two opposite things. So we'll see. But I wouldn't be
surprised if they spiced it up a little bit in
the first round. Now.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It always makes me think when people talk about trading
up or trading down, what's the best story they're telling
each other internally? So, Ian Rappaport, what's the best story
that comes to mind for you of a team trade
up and nailing it? Outside of Xavier Worthy and the Chiefs,
I don't know how they blitzed the bills like that.
Those guys, I couldn't believe that trade, But what's the.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Best to be totally fair, like, I'm not sure what
Exavier Worthy ends up being and correct, you know, he
had the off the field stuff this year and he's
not a traditional receiver, so like, you know, the jury's
still out on that, on that on that trade. But sorry,
So what you're wondering is the best.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
The best trade up story that you can remember and
the best trade down story you can remember?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, I mean I would say, uh, the best trade
up story always revolves around around quarterbacks. Now. I have
some personal good trade up stories that I like. See
It's like, you know, the trader for Josh Allen worked,
the trader for Mahomes worked. I mean, all of those
I think make a lot of sense. You know, I
would say that the story I like about trading up
(02:55):
did not work out for the team. I heard a
rumor that the Saints were trying to trade up, like
you know, six years ago or something like that, and
everyone thought it was for Lamar Jackson, and I had
a little birdie tell me it was from Marcus Davenport.
So I sat on the broadcast and everybody thought it
was crazy that the Saints could trade up for Marcus
Davenport and that's exactly what they did. And I was like,
(03:18):
all right, like I feel pretty good about that one,
you know, as far as as far as trading back,
you know, even like the one I think about is like,
you know, you're always giving up on a good player,
right because someone o good enough, somebody wants trade up for.
(03:39):
So when the Bills traded with the Chiefs, Chiefs came
up and took my homes great trade. They won the
trade times a million. The Bills took an all pro
corner in Tradious White. Now he ended up tearing his
achilles and had it sort of a shortened career. I
mean he's still playing a guess, but a shortened career.
But that was an interesting one because one team took
a franchise quarterback, the other team traded back, took an
(03:59):
all pro corner, got some big time draft equity that
they then used to select Josh Allen nice Ian.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
What are you hearing on shredor Sanders?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
The Giants have been very private, so I think everything
you're hearing hearing is based on speculation and non information, right,
So I I do not know what the Giants are doing.
Nobody knows what the Giants are doing. And even though
I'm a reporter and I want to know everything, I
(04:36):
would say I still do not know. But here's what
I know. If the Giants, no one has scouted the
Giants more than no one has scouted your door standers
more than the Giants. I'm not sure anyone scouted every
any prospect ever more than the Giants have scouted Shoue
door Standers. They've been to so many games, They've had
a pro Day, they had a visit at dinner with them,
(04:59):
They've been to practice is They've done everything. If they
think Shador Sanders is a franchise quarterback, they should take
him at three. If they don't, they should not take them.
But if they do, people say, oh three is early,
Like just take them like history shows you like a
guy enough. Just take it. It's quarterback. It's a crapshoot.
(05:19):
No one knows. And that's what I would say.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And Ian to you, are the Browns a lock for
abdual Carter at too? I just see that that would
be a nightmare for any offense. If you've got you know,
Miles Garrett on one side and abdual Carter on the other.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I don't know, but it feels to me like they're
more Travis Hunter than Abdua Carter. And look the draft,
so I catch everything by saying nobody really knows, but
that's just been my general feel and it's probably more
likely Hunter than it is Carter, which you know, then
if the Giants take Shador at three, like where does
(05:57):
Carter go? And that becomes the most interesting thing in
the draft.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
The last couple here for you Ian always appreciate the time.
Very busy week, I know for you guys. So yeah,
at the top of the drafts feeling pretty good about
cam Ward. There you talk about Travis and then I
guess it would be Abdul Carter, assuming that they don't
go shut door standers there for the Giants at three.
Number four with the Patriots is in a lot of ways,
I feel like maybe offensive line. So rumors reports that
(06:21):
Jacksonville might want Ashton Jenny at number five, what do
you do you buy any of that?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I buy some of it. I mean, he is a
great player. They have a team that could use really
great players. They have a quarterback that can use weapons.
I think there, if you're Jacksonville, you really just want
the best player you can get, and you know, maybe
it's genty, maybe it's a receiver, maybe it's probably not
(06:50):
a tackle, but just take the best, most explosive, most
fun player you can. So if it's Genty at five,
I would say, I don't see anything wrong with that.
Like if he could go six to the Raiders, he
could prosure go five to the Jaguars, right, So I
don't think that would be crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And Ian last one for me, I'm all, what are
you looking for on the periphery of the draft. I'm
always looking for like the uncle that steps in front
of the camera, you know. Ceedee Lamb had the great
moment where he took his phone back from a significant other, like, well,
what's the thing that you're looking for?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I will be curious, should door Standers is going to
have a party? Like what presidence does Dion have? The son?
Is he in the background? Just kind of like where
does it all fit in? How does he all fit?
And that's going to be one of those things I'm
(07:47):
looking for.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Well, now we are too, and that's a great point.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Hey, good stuff anyway, Ian, it's gonna be a lot
of fun. I know you guys got have some tremendous
covers there on NFL Network starting at six o'clock, and
we can't wait to check it with you next week
when it's all over with, the dust settles and we
get a chance to react to all of it. Really
appreciate the time my friends.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
All right, sounds good, guys, Take care all right, Thank you.
