Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming up next is a man who's been a long
time NFL executive, worked with the New York Giants, two
time Super Bowl champion, was also a scouting director with
the Eagles and Bill's Princeton Educated. You can see him
on NFL Network and his mama did the right thing.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Spelled his first name with a sea just like yours. Truly.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
His name is Mark Ross and the big and plumbing
hotline Mark with a c Ross. Good to have you
here on MJ in the midday. I always thought that,
you know, I always wanted you, that I was pinning
for you, just so you know, back in the day
when the Panthers fired Marty Hernie in October twenty twelve,
(00:43):
I was pining for you as the afternoon drive host
in Charlotte to take over for the Panthers just so
you know.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Oh, Man, thank you so much. I appreciate that support.
This just because of the name, right this because.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, no, no, no no, because listen, you're smart guy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
You were part of the New York Giants.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You drafted Jason Pierre Paul you listen, man, I followed
your career. Listen, you were part of two times. Yeah,
so I'm like let's bring this guy down. And I'm
not gonna mention the guy's name, but there was a
general No, no, no, no, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Mention his name.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
But there was a guy who was currently at that
time working in the front office. And he got mad
because I said the Panthers would be stupid to hire
him as a general manager. Thankfully they never did, but
he's had success since then. So and he called me
in the office at Panthers' training camp to admonish me
and let me know that. But anyway, long story, short,
long story, short, Mark, we'll talk about that off the
(01:36):
air one time. Look, all right, Seahawks are sitting there, Mark,
they got five of the top ninety two picks in
the draft, but specifically, let's concentrate on number eighteen. I
will tell you I don't need to, you know, lead
the witness on the stand here. I want a tight end.
I want Coleston Lovelin out of Michigan if he's there.
(01:58):
But if you're John Schneider, what would you do? There
a lot of options. You know, obviously we all know
about the Seahawks O line, specifically the interior being the
weakness of the team.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So you could go there.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Nick Emmon Warri, who's a safety out of South Carolina
is a stud obviously, Walter Nolan out of Old miss
Chamar Stewart out of Texas A and m What would
you do there at eighteen if you're the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well, I'm trying to support and upgrade everything around that guy.
You just paid a whole bunch of money to come
on over from Minnesota to help him out, because you know,
it's all about Sam and making sure he thrives tight
end that will be an outstanding option on uugh level
and he'll be there. But you know, even a receiver
right in that spot. You know, Mason Taylor, whoeverbody needs
(02:46):
to keep an eye on, I think is one of
the most underrated players in the draft. The tight end
in a LSU with the hall of same bloodlines there
another tight end. So yeah, to me, when I just
look at the landscape of Seattle, they absolutely have to
do that for Sam because look, when he played well
last year, he really didn't not that he didn't do anything.
(03:06):
He played well in Spurts, but he had such a
great infrastructure around him with Justin Jefferson and Addison and
that o' line and then as the year went on
and people started figuring him out a little bit and
he had to do more. That's where he saw him
kind of fall apart in those last couple of games.
He wish everyone thinking, seatle wish is they could erase
those out of their memory. You know, you want that
earlier Sam, So it has to be we've got this
(03:28):
great infrastructure. I can kind of be the the point
guard of all this and not really have to be
the Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Right, so you're staying there.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
If Lovelin or Tyler Warren, which we highly doubt either
one of them or that, Yeah, right, but let's just
say Lovelin's on the board. If you're John Schneider, you
would take him with eighteen pick.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, for sure. Sure, you know it's yeah, he's you know,
he's the he's the in my view, the biggest downfield
threat of all the tight ends in this year's draft.
He and Warren are completely different type players, but in
the way Michigan and uses him, I mean they know
his strengths. Way that what they did. I mean, this
guy just go out run everybody and make some big
plays downfield. So I think that would be an outstanding
(04:08):
value picked.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
There, Mark Ross NFL networked analysts here on MJ in
the midday. When you look at some of the other
prospects in the draft, let's go look at Kelvin Bengs Junior.
I mentioned Nick em and Worry Walter Nolan, Shamar Stewart.
These guys are all you know, and there's there's many
more of them. If Loveland and we know Warren will
(04:30):
be gone too, if they're both off the board, what
do you do then, Mark.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah, then then you really just have to look at
the landscape and say who's who's the best value there?
And you can't force anything, Okay, you know you know
that being said where I said you're trying to help
Sam as much as possible. If there's just you just
never know how the draft is going to go. So
if those guys are all washed out and you're just
sitting there and saying, all right, well, who's the best now,
and it's a let's say a DT like we just
have to take him. And that's where teams get into
(04:56):
trouble where they chase the needs too much and over
value players because of needs. So I think they're in
a good spot where in my view this draft, there's
maybe two or three short fire players, and then after
that there's just a lot of I mean, from four
to thirty four to four to forty four, there's a
lot of parody in the quality and the value of
(05:17):
these players.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Mark, I heard even another analyst say that nineteen to
seventy five is pretty even.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Would you concur with that?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, And again I don't even think that the players
taking in the top ten are going to be that
much different then wow, those in the second round. Yeah,
It's just there's when I usually had go through drafts.
So you know, there's ten short fire people like I
feel great about, and really this year it's cam Ward
end Up, Dull Carter, and Travis and you know after that,
you know Tyler Warren of course, but there's some others
(05:49):
that were just well, they might be top ten picks,
and I just have a lot of concerns about their
viability or being you know, need some development and a
lot of question marks, whether it be on the field
or off the field. So just a lot a lot
of question marks, more so in this draft than I've
seen in a while.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Mark Ross, NFL Network analysts here on MJ in the
midday on Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Mark, take us inside the
audience in me as well, take us inside the war room,
and just not even on draft night, but even.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Prior to that, tell it like the whole process.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
What goes into how Mark Ross evaluate prospects and how
much did you have to put on character? Because remember
a couple of years ago, Jalen Carter stock fell to nine.
He kind of reminded me of a guy who came
out of the U back in ninety five by the
name of Warren Sap who stocked to fell on Draft Knight,
and a certain team in New York, not your former employer,
(06:42):
but a certain team in New York.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Picked Kyle Brady over him, and all the.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Jets fans in that right in that gallery at the
draft that Madison Square Garden all happened to know better
than the coach at the time, being Rich co Tight.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So what do you right that is?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
That is one of the funniest things ever with the fans,
no more than the actual gym. What do you look
at though, when you measure the totality of a player,
give me from like start to finish, what you look at?
What do you prioritize, Yeah, and then when you look
at character concerns or even medical concerns, you know, the.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Better player they are, the more leeway you're going to have.
You know, tolerance, production equals tolerance. So the more productive,
the more potential you have and you're the more you're
going to tolerate some of those off field things or
you let's say Jalen Carter went to nine, everybody said
he fell or is still the top ten pick, whereas
someone out of talent that is Jalen Carter might fall
the way down at twenty five or the second round,
(07:37):
and they'll be players like that in this year's draft
as well, where some concerns off the field and you
may see them fall out from where they usually are.
But it's really all about where your team is. And
just using Jalen Carter for an example, he went to
the right team. He went to the right environment. Now
if he would have went somewhere else, another team that
was in the top eight there and without the right infrastructure,
(08:00):
out a winning organization, without a great owner and the
GM and the head coach, then he might not be
the jail And Carter that we've seen, and he might
not have realized his potential. So we always looked at
it as Okay, this person's character, their concerns, whatever it
may be, can we handle that. And we were fortunate
enough for the most part that we could take on
some of those players with some concerns because we thought
we had a really good infrastructure with our organization, with
(08:22):
whatever players were in the locker room already, and other
teams may not have the ability to do that.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
A great point.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And he had some Georgia Kit guys there, Jordan Davis,
Nakobe Dean, and he had guys get hey, we played
with them. They won a national championship with him, and
pulled them aside and said, hey man, we got to
do this on this level, and we can do it.
Mark Ross joining us here on MJ in the midday.
So you look at one of your colleagues who's one
of the best in the business, Daniel Jeremiah, And I'm
(08:50):
looking at his mock draft right now, Mark, and I
can tell you I'm salivating. He has the Seattle Seahawks
with the eighteenth pick, taking Colston Loveland tight end out
Michig Kid, and I'm like, oh yes, And he says,
quote the Seahawks might have bigger needs, but values is
just too great to pass up Loveland at number eighteen.
He the tight end, joins Jackson Smith and Jigbutt and
(09:12):
Cooper Cup to give Sam Darnell an intriguing group of
pass catchers, which is awesome. Now, one of the things
I've learned, and Mark, I'm a Northeastern guy like yourself,
I've only been here less than three months, but one
of the things I've admired from John Schneider from AFAR.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He's one of the best in the business.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But I also look at that the fans here that
they haven't been able to quite protect the quarterback. This
goes back to Russell Wilson. Happened with Geno Smith? Why
has that that O line been such an achilles heel
here in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, it's just I think it's a combination of a
few things. You know, things are never either or there's
a lot of factors that go into it. And you
look at that line and say, well, they've actually tried
to address it. You know, they've invested a lot of
draft capital in to get the line better. But some
of those players have not panned out, and some of
them maybe might not be a little bit underachievers, and
(10:08):
some are just flat out misses. So you know, that's
the tough part where even when you try to address it,
sometimes you just miss on the evaluation and players don't
do what you want them to do. So and there
are certain organizations that just draft better at other positions
or certain gms. Thatt draft other some positions better than others.
And but I will say to his defense, in everyone
(10:30):
in the NFL, if you watch any NFL game, they're
pretty much talking about the line. Everybody's oh line is
the struggle outside of maybe the Eagles and a couple
other teams that everyone's there's just not enough of those guys.
There's not enough quality offensive lineman. And the better your
quarterback is, the more he absolves the old line of
(10:51):
their sins of not being that good. So in Seattle,
I don't know, maybe they'll get it right this year,
but for the most part, it really is a league
wide problem.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Wow, yeah, no, it does, because you see it in Houston, right,
you see I listen. I mean the Chiefs are supposed
to have a great online Look what happened in the.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Super Bowl exactly exactly. Even a team like that where
you're talking about, oh my gosh, it's the line just
got battered and bruised and destroyed, and they're, you know,
the Super Bowl runner ups.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Mark, How important is the draft for every franchise? That
to me, that's why I put so much stock on it,
because I feel that if you can, if you nail
the draft the way Jason light has done in Tampa
for years. I believe last year he was the only
general manager in the history of the NFL. Every one
(11:37):
of his draft picks, they didn't have a lot of them.
They had like only six, All six of them made
the opening day fifty three man roster. I don't think
that's ever happened in NFL history. So how important is
this process? So you're not overspending in free agency down
the road on guys that really could be great or
(11:57):
they could really kill your cap.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, and that's what you're trying to do. I laughed.
I forget. Someone came out and it was like, this
is not a draft for stars, but starters. You can
get four or five starters. Like, if you can do
that every draft, you'll be in the Hall of Fame.
You know, Like that's almost impossible. You're really trying to
get two. You got to hit on your top two guys.
That's number one, your first and second round picks. You
got to hit on those and they should be ultimate playmakers,
and then you're trying to fill in the roster from there.
(12:22):
But yeah, the draft, and everyone does the same thing.
Build through the draft. There's nothing ingenious about that. Everyone's
trying to do the same thing. It's just you got
to hit on your players, much like the Eagles have
done over the past four years. That's the end result
of When you hit on your draft picks, you can
win super Bowls, and when you don't hit on your
draft picks, you're going to struggle. So you have to
build that foundation of hitting on the draft picks, getting
(12:46):
a couple impact players, and then when free agency rolls around,
all right, we know we have a certain need. We
have to go attack that, and all teams kind of
do that. There's nothing revolutionary about it. So the eighty
percent found you got to get with the with you
with your draft, and after the draft, those free agents
that you sign, and then the league free agents you
(13:07):
got to you gotta really hit on that and spend
wisely on players you know can make it.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
How much has the game change do you think over
the course and well, now, it seems like every year
the cap keeps getting bigger and bigger, which is great.
It's great for the players, it's great for the league,
it's great for everybody. But how much do you think
that this has changed now in terms of or you know,
if you look back to your days with the Giants,
is it's still pretty much, you know, somewhat similar to
(13:34):
where when it was when you were there with winning
two Super Bowls with the Giants.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, I think, you know, for the most part, the
key tenants aren't going to change. You better get a
franchise quarterback. You get a great head coach, and if
you don't have that, all right, how do we build
our team? You better get a great defense because that's
really been the only reason the ways that teams that
want you either have to have that superstar quarterback where
your defense has got to destroy people and then you
can you make plays on off and the money is
(14:02):
going to keep going up. The more money that keeps
getting thrown around. Now you got the netflixes of the
world throwing their money into the hat Prime video. So
the NFL is just loving what's going on. So that's
the biggest thing that's changed, is that the money is
just out of this world and the ways to broadcast
the game, expansion of the game internationally, and it's really
(14:23):
still just kind of scratching the surface of where they're
trying to take the game and get these revenue streams.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Do when you go back and you look at a
lot of these guys, especially in this particular draft, Mark Ross,
is there any player that you might say that's a
buyer beware pick that you better there could be a
red flag on that guy.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
There's a lot. Just to mention two of the names
that you talked about with Shamar Stewart and Walter Nolan,
you know those two guys that me are very boom
or bus prospects. Where a guy like s Mark Stewart,
who number one recruit coming out of high school, you know,
all the accolades combine, the biggest fastest guy there is
(15:07):
and he's got a half a sack or three career sacks.
You know, well, there's a problem there, you know, when
you have players like that who are supposed to have
all of the talent and all of the size and
all of this, and they don't quite produce even a
Walter Nolan. You know, a guy that's been bounced around
at a few different high schools, a couple of different colleges,
a little up and down and inconsistent. You have to
(15:27):
kind of look and say, well, this is kind of
who he is, the personality of the inconsistencies. And so
definitely those two you mentioned them for Seattle and again,
get into the right environment, possibly flourish. Get around the
right infrastructure, possibly flourished. But at this point the talent enticing,
the enticing talent is a little bit more than the
(15:48):
actual production and play when you watch those guys.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Interesting, what about should Door Sanders? Is there anything that
concerns you about him?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah? I just don't think, you know, despite his name
was Bob jas or whatever, you know, I just overall
I just watch him play. He just looks as if
he's a He's just an average He'll be an average
NFL quarterback talent. Have some concerns with you know, not
just the arm and the movement and the playmaking, but
you know, some of even the timing aspects of the
(16:17):
way he plays the game. So it's I don't think
he's a sure fire Hey, I'm going to go train
change the franchise. He's more along the lines of a okay,
he'll be a seven and nine team or ten and
you know eight and eighteen eight nine team doing the
math here with the seventeen games. So that's kind of
where I see his talent.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Interesting. I don't disagree. And you mentioned before my guy
from the U, cam Ward. What do you see one
of your colleagues, Lewis Riddick, And I see what Lewis
was saying. It's just, you know, it's a little unfair
to cam and the guy he compared him to. He
said he has mahomes like tendencies. And I see what
he's meanking. I watched all his games, But Mark, where
do you stand on cam Ward?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I like cam and he's gotten that or last year
at this time, I watched it when he was at
Washington State when he was talking about coming out. I said,
he needs to stay. I mean, you saw, you saw
the flashes, but the inconsistencies were there, the accuracy was
a little bit off, the streakiness was and he has
gotten so much better. It was the best decision he
could have made to go to the U and play
this year, because he really improved a lot from last
(17:21):
year to this year with those aforementioned traits, the accuracy,
the decision making, and he does have it. You know,
you hate to label that with players, but no, the
playmaking that he has, he's so I've never seen anybody
that play so calm like he does. He's just kind
of hanging out in there and things just don't bother
him at all. But he turns it up when when
they needed at the end of games where you see
(17:42):
him kind of all right, now, I know this is
winning time, let me ratchet this stuff up. But for
the most part, I just love how he just doesn't
let anything affect him. And that's the sign of great
players in any sport, where they're controlling the game and
things around them, not letting the circumstance and situations control them.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And I'll give you a little statistic here on on
cam Ward. You can use this on the air in
the Hurricane because I went to I Love the U,
and I went to the U and their three losses.
Cam Ward eight touchdowns, zero interceptions and the three losses.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
It's like Mark, the next question is like, well, okay,
they got him they got Rastreppo, George Elijah Royal, How
did this team not make the playoff?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And you know, dese yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Defense was on the field, thought, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Not to mention when a mark I mean, listen, I've
never coached. You're in front office, guy, But let me
just ask you a question. Let me put you in
a scenario here. Okay, Miami's up twenty one nothing against
Syracuse a spot if you win this game, you go
to the twelve team playoff. You blow a twenty one
nothing lead to Syracuse, but you're down by seven with
two and a half minutes to go, fourth and fourth
(18:56):
and goal at Syracuse's nine yard line. The head coach
Mario Christobal, despite defect that the defense could not stop
Kyle McCord and Tremor Pana and Aronde Gatz in the second,
he elects to kick a field goal. Would you on
fourth and nine when you have the number one overall
pick in the draft and Elijah Royo and Rastrepo, would
(19:18):
you not have maybe just thrown up a jump ball
in the end zone and see if a PI flag could.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Have got right?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You would think, but uh oh.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah it does.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Was a little bit puzzling, Yes, when that went down.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, yeah, well let's do what's even more impressive about Cam.
He succeeded in spite of his head. Now he had
a great OC though his OC was phenomenal. But uh
and we'll find out this this this fall with Carson
Beck Mark Ross, NFL Network analysts. You'll see him on
the NFL Network as we get ready for the draft.
Princeton Edu kid, one of the smartest guys we'll ever
(19:54):
have on this show. Mark with the seed. We appreciate that,
Mark and look forward again to talking to you.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Soon any time, any time, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Mark Ross here on MJ and the Midday.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, oh, man, Mario cristiball Oregon fans, you know exactly
what I'm talking about. He's Mario Cristobal is uh. If
you're the fan of the team that he's coaching, he's
like an STD He's the gift that keeps on giving.
And I don't mean that in a good way. So
uh yeah, there's that. Uh oh, there could be some
(20:28):
trouble upcoming that you gotta be careful about who you
talk about on the air, especially.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
If they're not a public figure.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Someone could be sitting on top of a major lawsuit
against one of the two of the biggest entities in
sports media right now. We'll explain that next on MJ
and The Midday on ninety three to three kJ Rtham
and and like say pretty much that, Hey, this guy
(20:59):
could be as so many people are afraid to do
that these days.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
He did not. He's like, no, I should do her
Sanders average quarterback.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Okay, all right, Walter Nolan, Shamar Stewart, I like that
a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
There's a story going on right now that a young
woman at Ole, Miss the University of Mississippi, named Mary
Cape Cornett could potentially make millions of dollars from Barstool Sports,
ESPN and Pat McAfee.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
She decides to sue for defamation.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
According to Dob Kleiman, who retweeted this, per Spencer Cornelia
and if you don't know the story, well, for what
it's worth, there was a nasty rumor. I'm not gonna
say it on the air because I'm not going to
get you know, kJ har in any trouble. You can
look it up and see what the rumor is. It's
(21:54):
very nasty about her and Barstool talk about it. ESPN
talked about it, and they did it in a way
that was well, let's just say defamation of character. And
Mary Kay Cornett right now is sitting on a potential
(22:14):
gold mine because she is a private citizen. She's not
like Hannah Cavender, the ex girlfriend of Carson Beck. She
who's this social media public figure. She was just a
student who went to Ole miss and some false, absolutely
ridiculous rumor when out there about her. That pretty much
(22:38):
is something that no woman wants out there about them.
And she is now and she's gone on I believe NBC.
She was interviewed by I saw her on with her
parents and her attorney, and they are looking into legal
action and she could be sitting on a very big
defamation of character suit, which I will tell you in
(23:03):
this day and age, you need to be careful. And
you know, like for instance, when I'm talking about Hannah Cavender,
who says like every other word, she put herself out there.
She's a social media influencer, and she is not beyond
public ridicule. She made herself a public figure. She is
a public figure. She played basketball at the University of
(23:24):
Miami and all this stuff her in her sister or
twins and they have this whole social media following.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
So she's fair game.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
This young woman was not, and a lot of people
who are in high ranking, public profile positions are now
sitting on pins and needles in a bad way that
they more than likely, I believe she's.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Going to and she should.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
She should unleash a wrath of a civil lawsuit against
said media organizations for talking about this just not good.
It's something that you got to be very careful on
who you talk about. And you know, listen last week
when I had Nick Baumgardner on from The Athletic and
he was talking about Mason Taylor, all I mentioned is
(24:14):
you know when he said, eah, he's the son of
Jason Taylor. He's the nephew Zach Thomas. That oh, by
the way, Nick, he's also the nephew of Joy Taylor.
And we laughed, Well, there's things out there about Joy
Taylor that are you know, been printed by some pretty
reputable organizations. That why she was off the air for
a little bit, and she's involved in a lawsuit and
(24:35):
those she's a public figure. So Joy Taylor knows that, Hey,
Antonio Brown wakes up every day on his Twitter handle
a b ab eighty four. And let's just say that,
Antonio Brown, it's Joy Taylor's fair game, Hannah Cavender's fair game.
A young freshman at Ole Miss who's you know, someone
who's just going about her business. Who this thing that
(24:58):
was horrible thing that's been reported about her. You can't
do it. You just can't do it.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Now, this is not, this is not Dave Portnoy didn't
say anything about her, but somebody at Barstool did. And
now Deve Portnoy might have to fork over a lot
of money to settle out of court because somebody at
Barstool did. And I'm not gonna name the person who
did it, but be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Pal.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You want to, you know, talk about all these things
that are being said on the online about certain people,
and they come back at you. You know, hell, hath
no fury like someone who has been wrongfully and publicly
humiliated scorn And I am with this young woman and
mary Ka Cornett, you go get paid, get paid because
(25:47):
you deserve to get paid. And I hope your attorneys
do whatever they can to get you and your family
as much money as possible, because no young woman deserves
her to have her reputation sullying, specially when all of
it was completely false and untrue.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
As this gotta be careful in this day and age.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
So, like I said when I was just speaking to
Mark Ross, mock drafts and most of these mock drafts,
and by the way, all the hosts here at the
station Purple Sheet wants is to come up with our
own mock draft. So I'm doing mine right now, but
I want to stay for the record when I release
my mock draft, which will probably be released tomorrow or Wednesday.
(26:30):
I'm doing this based on what I believe the organization
should do, not what they predicting what they will do,
so I want you to know that. So I'm putting
myself in the seat of all thirty two NFL general managers, okay,
(26:51):
all thirty two of them, from Jason light to John Schneider,
you know, to every single GM that is out there
that is making these picks.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I'm doing it saying, like, who should we Mike Borganzi,
who's the new general manager of the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
We know what he's going to do at number one.
There's no surprise there.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
So that's what I It's not what they will do,
it's what they should do.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
And when I get.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
To the Seahawks at eighteen, you might be surprised. You
might not be surprised at who I have the Seahawks taking.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Granted, the Seahawks can only take based on what the
seventeen teams picking before them, And specifically, I'm talking about
a couple that could have a conflict of interest, that
might need the same thing that the Seahawks need at eighteen.
I'm talking about the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts.
(27:54):
That's what I'm worried about. That's who I'm worry And
I'm with Daniel Jeremiah. He's got the Seahawks taking Colston
Loveland at eighteen. I would be so happy if Loveland
is on the board. But you know what, the worst
thing I can envision happening. You ready for this, Chris.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I think, so what you got up your sleeve?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Let's just say Colston Loveland is on the board. You're
gritting your teeth.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Oh oh, you're bad.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh yeah. And I'm at the Virginia Mention Athletics Center.
Sold the comers and they take a receiver at eighteen.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
But I'm like, oh, no, no.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Who would you want at eighteen if they did take
a receiver? Like if you had to pick gun to
your head mark, you gotta pick this receiver or your
brand's gonna be everywhere.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Who you got? Oh, that's a great question. If I
you mean, I don't want a receiver, but if I had.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
To take, yes, meaning this on your board, obviously this
is the best receiver. And you're like, we gotta take him?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Who is it?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Because I know it ain't Nate Nate, Oh sorry, that's
not his name.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Tenor Rowe McMillan.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
No, I'm gonna go with Luther Burden, not a Missouri
because he's a dog and he's got that dog in
him and he's just he's just he's he's a guy
that you couple him, and I just I just feel
like that position has been somewhat solidified. If Jake Bobo
(29:23):
can step up and be a perhaps a number four
and spell Marcus Valdez scantling, and I just feel like
I want that tight end man I wanted.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
To, I wouldn't even have an issue.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And do I think that Mason Taylor being drafted at
eighteen would be an overdraft, yes, but based on if
the Seahawks aren't gonna move up from fifty to fifty two,
I wouldn't even have an issue if they took Mason
Taylor at eighteen seriously, just or like like I said,
I wouldn't even Here's here's what are acceptable to MJ
(29:57):
Mark with the C James nick em and Warri I'm
okay with it. Tyler Booker Guard Bama, okay, Kelvin Banks
Junior Texas, I'm all in fine, I'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
They take your receiver at eighteen.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Make sure the dumb button is ready, guys.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm just I will be beside myself, just like I
was when the Patriots had two chances to take Lamar Jackson.
They took Isaiah Win and Sony Michelle and I knew it,
and I knew it and people and people back then. Bolton, ooh,
you know more than Bill Belichick when it comes to
drafting offensive skilled position players in the first round.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I do I know more than.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Bill Belichick because I would have taken Lamar f and Jackson,
and I wouldn't have taken Lamar with their second pick
in the first round. I would have taken Lamar with
their first pick in the first round, which was about
twenty twenty one, where they took Isaiah Win. They had
two chances, had Lamar f and Jackson, a guy who
probably should have three MVPs right now.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
And they took.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Sony Michelle and I say win then two years later
or no, was it two years later?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
No, it was a year later.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Days gonna take a receiver in the first round, all right, yes,
Deebo Samuel stud at South Carolina, AJ Brown Ole, Miss
dk metcalf Ole, Miss Terry mcclaurin Auburn. And with the
whatever pick and the twenty nineteen NFL Draft in New England,
Patriots select Nikhil Harry, wide receiver Arizona State. Oh, Bill, Bill,
(31:43):
Bill Bill, Let's just say, Bill, good for you. You've
done a better job at picking girlfriends than you do
offensive skill position players in the first round.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh did I just say that on the air?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yes? I did.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yeah. Oh, by the way, there's an article out there.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Imagine this Bill's starting to ruffle some feathers down in
Chapel Hill. Gee shocker, Yeah, color be shocked on that
one there.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Uh yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, you know why because he doesn't want to be
there because he wants to be a head coach in
the NFL. That's why he's just doing this. Or his
son can take over. He can take over to be
the head coach. It's the only reason this. It's an
all song and dance he's doing. He is putting his cell,
his son in a position the way lebron has with Bronnie.
(32:37):
I will say this though, Steve Belichick is certainly more
worthy of being a head coach, maybe not at North Carolina,
but somewhere else than Bronnie James is in the NBA.
Steve Belichick has got He comes from good stock. He
learned under Bill with the Patriots. He came to Washington
last year, right he was a defensive coordinator for the Huskies,
(33:00):
did a good job, decent job for Jetfish, moved on
to North Carolina. I like Steve Belichick. Do I think
he should be a coach at a power for school?
Is his first head coaching? Tom f No, hell no,
But you know daddy's putting in a position to do it.
You know, nepotism is a funny thing. Tom Hanks came
out and said, whoa you know, if my son if
(33:21):
I ran a floor a flower shop.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
My son would be a florist.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Well, guess what, you're one of the Grace actors all time,
and your son became an actor. And by the way,
Colin Hanks is a really good actor. He's a really
good actor. So all right, I had a nice winning pick.
Did you take my advice on Friday night on that
playing game there?
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Did you take my advice on Friday night? Nailed that?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Nailed that? Mother?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Right on the oh. I was felt so good.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I put a lot of money on Friday night and
nailed that thing. I hope you took my advice. I
got a winner for you coming up tonight. Beat the
Book next on MJ in the midday, ninety three to
three kJ A at them. You ready for this Seattle?
Here we f and go tonight in the NBA, give
(34:11):
me the Miami Heat in Atlanta. Do you see what
they hit the Heat did to the Bulls the other night?
Do you see what Eric Sposer can do in a
one game scenario? Well, Eric Spolsher versus Quinn Snyder. I'll
take Spolstra, I'll take Tyler Hero out of Bio Wiggins,
and this heat team. They're gonna make it in the playoffs,
(34:32):
and they're gonna make it in as the A seed
to where they're gonna play the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well, if
you listen to me, you got another winner, man red
Hot on the NBA.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I got another winner for you tonight, all right, I listen.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
I couldn't believe lifelong, diehard New York Knicks fan, and
I did not like what I saw for about three
quarters on Saturday until the Knicks went on a twenty
one nothing run, A twenty one n run in the
fourth quarter of an.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
NBA playoff game. Chris, have you ever seen that? No?
I have, not, right, It's rare, never seen. What else
can we say?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Campaign like wow, Cameron Payne, good lord? I mean, and
og didn't even have that really great of a game.
And I'll tell you what though, Uh, Pistons look good.
They looked really good. And I agree with JB. Bickerstaff
what he said after the game. I thought we'd played
(35:34):
good until the twenty one nothing run they did.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
They were up by eight or nine going in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Pistons get six and a half tonight at Madison Square Garden.
I know Ben Stiller Tracy Morgan. Let's see who else
will be there. Sting was there the other day, the
singer most people you wouldn't remember who he is, a
great group called the Police back in the day. Let's
see who else we know. Spike Lee will be there.
It's the one team he does root for that he's
(36:01):
not a bandwagon fan of. Give me the Pistons plus
six and a half tonight. I'm not saying that the
Knicks won't win the game. Give me the Pistons plus
the points tonight. I like the six and a half.
That's all I'm saying. Give me Kate Cunningham, Malik Beasley,
give me one of the Thompson twins osor Thompson. I
(36:23):
believe his name is the tom. These guys are balling,
they are bawling, and I think tonight they strike back.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Pistons win the game.
And I've got somebody down in Florida, a good friend
of mine who will take my action, and I don't
have to drive to the casino anymore. So that's great
(36:45):
news too. I thought i'd report that, Nope, those days
are over. Go to cash my tickets after Oklahoma City
wins the NBA Finals. I'll go cash that one when
that's over. Oh how about that? I did give another
one out the other day. I gave out my anti
LA part Nuggets in t Wolves, Nuggets over Clippers, t
Wolves over Lakers. Oh what happened there? C K what
(37:08):
happened to the Lakers the other day? Holy ish?
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (37:11):
They didn't play basketball? Shout out to Jayden McDaniels.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Jaden from you dubbed from a Federal way right.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I was great to see. I know, I'm all for
it should be a fun series.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
But if the Lakers don't figure it out, we could
be seeing Minnesota taking on the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Absolutely, And how about this. Let me just say this, man,
I got a Lebron looked old the other day. The
other day. He did not look like himself. He looked
really old. I think he had a minus twenty three
in that game. It was really bad. He just I'm like,
what the hell is going on with this Lakers team?
(37:53):
Just it looked really bad, man, really bad. Yeah, you
better play. Here's the thing about it. You got six
more games to get your ish together. Okay, So get
six more games in and you can turn it around.
I mean I'm rooting for obviously the other side. I
want ant Man and the t Wolves. But Lebron was
the other day. Nineteen points eight of eighteen, one for
(38:15):
five from three point range, four turnovers, looking old, looking
a father, Time could be catching up.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
We'll see you better turn it around.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
So a lot of things by This has been an
action pack quick show on a Monday afternoon. Don't forget
we got to what do you say? Text of the day.
But it's official. It is official. How you turn two
and a half million dollars into nine hundred grand The
(38:47):
dumbest financial decisions since the careers of Antwine, Walker, Terrell
Owens and Allen Iverson and I Love Ai. That is
next on MJ in the midday on ninety three to
three KJR.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Sam
Coming up next is a man who's been a long
time NFL executive, worked with the New York Giants, two
time Super Bowl champion, was also a scouting director with
the Eagles and Bill's Princeton Educated. You can see him
on NFL Network and his mama did the right thing.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Spelled his first name with a sea just like yours. Truly.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
His name is Mark Ross and the big and plumbing
hotline Mark with a c Ross. Good to have you
here on MJ in the midday. I always thought that,
you know, I always wanted you, that I was pinning
for you, just so you know, back in the day
when the Panthers fired Marty Hernie in October twenty twelve,
(00:43):
I was pining for you as the afternoon drive host
in Charlotte to take over for the Panthers just so
you know.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Oh, Man, thank you so much. I appreciate that support.
This just because of the name, right this because.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, no, no, no no, because listen, you're smart guy.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
You were part of the New York Giants.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You drafted Jason Pierre Paul you listen, man, I followed
your career. Listen, you were part of two times. Yeah,
so I'm like let's bring this guy down. And I'm
not gonna mention the guy's name, but there was a
general No, no, no, no, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Mention his name.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
But there was a guy who was currently at that
time working in the front office. And he got mad
because I said the Panthers would be stupid to hire
him as a general manager. Thankfully they never did, but
he's had success since then. So and he called me
in the office at Panthers' training camp to admonish me
and let me know that. But anyway, long story, short,
long story, short, Mark, we'll talk about that off the
(01:36):
air one time. Look, all right, Seahawks are sitting there, Mark,
they got five of the top ninety two picks in
the draft, but specifically, let's concentrate on number eighteen. I
will tell you I don't need to, you know, lead
the witness on the stand here. I want a tight end.
I want Coleston Lovelin out of Michigan if he's there.
(01:58):
But if you're John Schneider, what would you do? There
a lot of options. You know, obviously we all know
about the Seahawks O line, specifically the interior being the
weakness of the team.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So you could go there.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Nick Emmon Warri, who's a safety out of South Carolina
is a stud obviously, Walter Nolan out of Old miss
Chamar Stewart out of Texas A and m What would
you do there at eighteen if you're the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Well, I'm trying to support and upgrade everything around that guy.
You just paid a whole bunch of money to come
on over from Minnesota to help him out, because you know,
it's all about Sam and making sure he thrives tight
end that will be an outstanding option on uugh level
and he'll be there. But you know, even a receiver
right in that spot. You know, Mason Taylor, whoeverbody needs
(02:46):
to keep an eye on, I think is one of
the most underrated players in the draft. The tight end
in a LSU with the hall of same bloodlines there
another tight end. So yeah, to me, when I just
look at the landscape of Seattle, they absolutely have to
do that for Sam because look, when he played well
last year, he really didn't not that he didn't do anything.
(03:06):
He played well in Spurts, but he had such a
great infrastructure around him with Justin Jefferson and Addison and
that o' line and then as the year went on
and people started figuring him out a little bit and
he had to do more. That's where he saw him
kind of fall apart in those last couple of games.
He wish everyone thinking, seatle wish is they could erase
those out of their memory. You know, you want that
earlier Sam, So it has to be we've got this
(03:28):
great infrastructure. I can kind of be the the point
guard of all this and not really have to be
the Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Right, so you're staying there.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
If Lovelin or Tyler Warren, which we highly doubt either
one of them or that, Yeah, right, but let's just
say Lovelin's on the board. If you're John Schneider, you
would take him with eighteen pick.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, for sure. Sure, you know it's yeah, he's you know,
he's the he's the in my view, the biggest downfield
threat of all the tight ends in this year's draft.
He and Warren are completely different type players, but in
the way Michigan and uses him, I mean they know
his strengths. Way that what they did. I mean, this
guy just go out run everybody and make some big
plays downfield. So I think that would be an outstanding
(04:08):
value picked.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
There, Mark Ross NFL networked analysts here on MJ in
the midday. When you look at some of the other
prospects in the draft, let's go look at Kelvin Bengs Junior.
I mentioned Nick em and Worry Walter Nolan, Shamar Stewart.
These guys are all you know, and there's there's many
more of them. If Loveland and we know Warren will
(04:30):
be gone too, if they're both off the board, what
do you do then, Mark.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah, then then you really just have to look at
the landscape and say who's who's the best value there?
And you can't force anything, Okay, you know you know
that being said where I said you're trying to help
Sam as much as possible. If there's just you just
never know how the draft is going to go. So
if those guys are all washed out and you're just
sitting there and saying, all right, well, who's the best now,
and it's a let's say a DT like we just
have to take him. And that's where teams get into
(04:56):
trouble where they chase the needs too much and over
value players because of needs. So I think they're in
a good spot where in my view this draft, there's
maybe two or three short fire players, and then after
that there's just a lot of I mean, from four
to thirty four to four to forty four, there's a
lot of parody in the quality and the value of
(05:17):
these players.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Mark, I heard even another analyst say that nineteen to
seventy five is pretty even.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Would you concur with that?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, And again I don't even think that the players
taking in the top ten are going to be that
much different then wow, those in the second round. Yeah,
It's just there's when I usually had go through drafts.
So you know, there's ten short fire people like I
feel great about, and really this year it's cam Ward
end Up, Dull Carter, and Travis and you know after that,
you know Tyler Warren of course, but there's some others
(05:49):
that were just well, they might be top ten picks,
and I just have a lot of concerns about their
viability or being you know, need some development and a
lot of question marks, whether it be on the field
or off the field. So just a lot a lot
of question marks, more so in this draft than I've
seen in a while.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Mark Ross, NFL Network analysts here on MJ in the
midday on Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Mark, take us inside the
audience in me as well, take us inside the war room,
and just not even on draft night, but even.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Prior to that, tell it like the whole process.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
What goes into how Mark Ross evaluate prospects and how
much did you have to put on character? Because remember
a couple of years ago, Jalen Carter stock fell to nine.
He kind of reminded me of a guy who came
out of the U back in ninety five by the
name of Warren Sap who stocked to fell on Draft Knight,
and a certain team in New York, not your former employer,
(06:42):
but a certain team in New York.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Picked Kyle Brady over him, and all the.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Jets fans in that right in that gallery at the
draft that Madison Square Garden all happened to know better
than the coach at the time, being Rich co Tight.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So what do you right that is?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
That is one of the funniest things ever with the fans,
no more than the actual gym. What do you look
at though, when you measure the totality of a player,
give me from like start to finish, what you look at?
What do you prioritize, Yeah, and then when you look
at character concerns or even medical concerns, you know, the.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Better player they are, the more leeway you're going to have.
You know, tolerance, production equals tolerance. So the more productive,
the more potential you have and you're the more you're
going to tolerate some of those off field things or
you let's say Jalen Carter went to nine, everybody said
he fell or is still the top ten pick, whereas
someone out of talent that is Jalen Carter might fall
the way down at twenty five or the second round,
(07:37):
and they'll be players like that in this year's draft
as well, where some concerns off the field and you
may see them fall out from where they usually are.
But it's really all about where your team is. And
just using Jalen Carter for an example, he went to
the right team. He went to the right environment. Now
if he would have went somewhere else, another team that
was in the top eight there and without the right infrastructure,
(08:00):
out a winning organization, without a great owner and the
GM and the head coach, then he might not be
the jail And Carter that we've seen, and he might
not have realized his potential. So we always looked at
it as Okay, this person's character, their concerns, whatever it
may be, can we handle that. And we were fortunate
enough for the most part that we could take on
some of those players with some concerns because we thought
we had a really good infrastructure with our organization, with
(08:22):
whatever players were in the locker room already, and other
teams may not have the ability to do that.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
A great point.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And he had some Georgia Kit guys there, Jordan Davis,
Nakobe Dean, and he had guys get hey, we played
with them. They won a national championship with him, and
pulled them aside and said, hey man, we got to
do this on this level, and we can do it.
Mark Ross joining us here on MJ in the midday.
So you look at one of your colleagues who's one
of the best in the business, Daniel Jeremiah, And I'm
(08:50):
looking at his mock draft right now, Mark, and I
can tell you I'm salivating. He has the Seattle Seahawks
with the eighteenth pick, taking Colston Loveland tight end out
Michig Kid, and I'm like, oh yes, And he says,
quote the Seahawks might have bigger needs, but values is
just too great to pass up Loveland at number eighteen.
He the tight end, joins Jackson Smith and Jigbutt and
(09:12):
Cooper Cup to give Sam Darnell an intriguing group of
pass catchers, which is awesome. Now, one of the things
I've learned, and Mark, I'm a Northeastern guy like yourself,
I've only been here less than three months, but one
of the things I've admired from John Schneider from AFAR.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He's one of the best in the business.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But I also look at that the fans here that
they haven't been able to quite protect the quarterback. This
goes back to Russell Wilson. Happened with Geno Smith? Why
has that that O line been such an achilles heel
here in Seattle.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, it's just I think it's a combination of a
few things. You know, things are never either or there's
a lot of factors that go into it. And you
look at that line and say, well, they've actually tried
to address it. You know, they've invested a lot of
draft capital in to get the line better. But some
of those players have not panned out, and some of
them maybe might not be a little bit underachievers, and
(10:08):
some are just flat out misses. So you know, that's
the tough part where even when you try to address it,
sometimes you just miss on the evaluation and players don't
do what you want them to do. So and there
are certain organizations that just draft better at other positions
or certain gms. Thatt draft other some positions better than others.
And but I will say to his defense, in everyone
(10:30):
in the NFL, if you watch any NFL game, they're
pretty much talking about the line. Everybody's oh line is
the struggle outside of maybe the Eagles and a couple
other teams that everyone's there's just not enough of those guys.
There's not enough quality offensive lineman. And the better your
quarterback is, the more he absolves the old line of
(10:51):
their sins of not being that good. So in Seattle,
I don't know, maybe they'll get it right this year,
but for the most part, it really is a league
wide problem.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Wow, yeah, no, it does, because you see it in Houston, right,
you see I listen. I mean the Chiefs are supposed
to have a great online Look what happened in the.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Super Bowl exactly exactly. Even a team like that where
you're talking about, oh my gosh, it's the line just
got battered and bruised and destroyed, and they're, you know,
the Super Bowl runner ups.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Mark, How important is the draft for every franchise? That
to me, that's why I put so much stock on it,
because I feel that if you can, if you nail
the draft the way Jason light has done in Tampa
for years. I believe last year he was the only
general manager in the history of the NFL. Every one
(11:37):
of his draft picks, they didn't have a lot of them.
They had like only six, All six of them made
the opening day fifty three man roster. I don't think
that's ever happened in NFL history. So how important is
this process? So you're not overspending in free agency down
the road on guys that really could be great or
(11:57):
they could really kill your cap.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, and that's what you're trying to do. I laughed.
I forget. Someone came out and it was like, this
is not a draft for stars, but starters. You can
get four or five starters. Like, if you can do
that every draft, you'll be in the Hall of Fame.
You know, Like that's almost impossible. You're really trying to
get two. You got to hit on your top two guys.
That's number one, your first and second round picks. You
got to hit on those and they should be ultimate playmakers,
and then you're trying to fill in the roster from there.
(12:22):
But yeah, the draft, and everyone does the same thing.
Build through the draft. There's nothing ingenious about that. Everyone's
trying to do the same thing. It's just you got
to hit on your players, much like the Eagles have
done over the past four years. That's the end result
of When you hit on your draft picks, you can
win super Bowls, and when you don't hit on your
draft picks, you're going to struggle. So you have to
build that foundation of hitting on the draft picks, getting
(12:46):
a couple impact players, and then when free agency rolls around,
all right, we know we have a certain need. We
have to go attack that, and all teams kind of
do that. There's nothing revolutionary about it. So the eighty
percent found you got to get with the with you
with your draft, and after the draft, those free agents
that you sign, and then the league free agents you
(13:07):
got to you gotta really hit on that and spend
wisely on players you know can make it.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
How much has the game change do you think over
the course and well, now, it seems like every year
the cap keeps getting bigger and bigger, which is great.
It's great for the players, it's great for the league,
it's great for everybody. But how much do you think
that this has changed now in terms of or you know,
if you look back to your days with the Giants,
is it's still pretty much, you know, somewhat similar to
(13:34):
where when it was when you were there with winning
two Super Bowls with the Giants.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, I think, you know, for the most part, the
key tenants aren't going to change. You better get a
franchise quarterback. You get a great head coach, and if
you don't have that, all right, how do we build
our team? You better get a great defense because that's
really been the only reason the ways that teams that
want you either have to have that superstar quarterback where
your defense has got to destroy people and then you
can you make plays on off and the money is
(14:02):
going to keep going up. The more money that keeps
getting thrown around. Now you got the netflixes of the
world throwing their money into the hat Prime video. So
the NFL is just loving what's going on. So that's
the biggest thing that's changed, is that the money is
just out of this world and the ways to broadcast
the game, expansion of the game internationally, and it's really
(14:23):
still just kind of scratching the surface of where they're
trying to take the game and get these revenue streams.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Do when you go back and you look at a
lot of these guys, especially in this particular draft, Mark Ross,
is there any player that you might say that's a
buyer beware pick that you better there could be a
red flag on that guy.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
There's a lot. Just to mention two of the names
that you talked about with Shamar Stewart and Walter Nolan,
you know those two guys that me are very boom
or bus prospects. Where a guy like s Mark Stewart,
who number one recruit coming out of high school, you know,
all the accolades combine, the biggest fastest guy there is
(15:07):
and he's got a half a sack or three career sacks.
You know, well, there's a problem there, you know, when
you have players like that who are supposed to have
all of the talent and all of the size and
all of this, and they don't quite produce even a
Walter Nolan. You know, a guy that's been bounced around
at a few different high schools, a couple of different colleges,
a little up and down and inconsistent. You have to
(15:27):
kind of look and say, well, this is kind of
who he is, the personality of the inconsistencies. And so
definitely those two you mentioned them for Seattle and again,
get into the right environment, possibly flourish. Get around the
right infrastructure, possibly flourished. But at this point the talent enticing,
the enticing talent is a little bit more than the
(15:48):
actual production and play when you watch those guys.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Interesting, what about should Door Sanders? Is there anything that
concerns you about him?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah? I just don't think, you know, despite his name
was Bob jas or whatever, you know, I just overall
I just watch him play. He just looks as if
he's a He's just an average He'll be an average
NFL quarterback talent. Have some concerns with you know, not
just the arm and the movement and the playmaking, but
you know, some of even the timing aspects of the
(16:17):
way he plays the game. So it's I don't think
he's a sure fire Hey, I'm going to go train
change the franchise. He's more along the lines of a okay,
he'll be a seven and nine team or ten and
you know eight and eighteen eight nine team doing the
math here with the seventeen games. So that's kind of
where I see his talent.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Interesting. I don't disagree. And you mentioned before my guy
from the U, cam Ward. What do you see one
of your colleagues, Lewis Riddick, And I see what Lewis
was saying. It's just, you know, it's a little unfair
to cam and the guy he compared him to. He
said he has mahomes like tendencies. And I see what
he's meanking. I watched all his games, But Mark, where
do you stand on cam Ward?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I like cam and he's gotten that or last year
at this time, I watched it when he was at
Washington State when he was talking about coming out. I said,
he needs to stay. I mean, you saw, you saw
the flashes, but the inconsistencies were there, the accuracy was
a little bit off, the streakiness was and he has
gotten so much better. It was the best decision he
could have made to go to the U and play
this year, because he really improved a lot from last
(17:21):
year to this year with those aforementioned traits, the accuracy,
the decision making, and he does have it. You know,
you hate to label that with players, but no, the
playmaking that he has, he's so I've never seen anybody
that play so calm like he does. He's just kind
of hanging out in there and things just don't bother
him at all. But he turns it up when when
they needed at the end of games where you see
(17:42):
him kind of all right, now, I know this is
winning time, let me ratchet this stuff up. But for
the most part, I just love how he just doesn't
let anything affect him. And that's the sign of great
players in any sport, where they're controlling the game and
things around them, not letting the circumstance and situations control them.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And I'll give you a little statistic here on on
cam Ward. You can use this on the air in
the Hurricane because I went to I Love the U,
and I went to the U and their three losses.
Cam Ward eight touchdowns, zero interceptions and the three losses.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
It's like Mark, the next question is like, well, okay,
they got him they got Rastreppo, George Elijah Royal, How
did this team not make the playoff?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And you know, dese yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Defense was on the field, thought, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Not to mention when a mark I mean, listen, I've
never coached. You're in front office, guy, But let me
just ask you a question. Let me put you in
a scenario here. Okay, Miami's up twenty one nothing against
Syracuse a spot if you win this game, you go
to the twelve team playoff. You blow a twenty one
nothing lead to Syracuse, but you're down by seven with
two and a half minutes to go, fourth and fourth
(18:56):
and goal at Syracuse's nine yard line. The head coach
Mario Christobal, despite defect that the defense could not stop
Kyle McCord and Tremor Pana and Aronde Gatz in the second,
he elects to kick a field goal. Would you on
fourth and nine when you have the number one overall
pick in the draft and Elijah Royo and Rastrepo, would
(19:18):
you not have maybe just thrown up a jump ball
in the end zone and see if a PI flag could.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Have got right?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You would think, but uh oh.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah it does.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Was a little bit puzzling, Yes, when that went down.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, yeah, well let's do what's even more impressive about Cam.
He succeeded in spite of his head. Now he had
a great OC though his OC was phenomenal. But uh
and we'll find out this this this fall with Carson
Beck Mark Ross, NFL Network analysts. You'll see him on
the NFL Network as we get ready for the draft.
Princeton Edu kid, one of the smartest guys we'll ever
(19:54):
have on this show. Mark with the seed. We appreciate that,
Mark and look forward again to talking to you.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Soon any time, any time, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Mark Ross here on MJ and the Midday.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, oh, man, Mario cristiball Oregon fans, you know exactly
what I'm talking about. He's Mario Cristobal is uh. If
you're the fan of the team that he's coaching, he's
like an STD He's the gift that keeps on giving.
And I don't mean that in a good way. So
uh yeah, there's that. Uh oh, there could be some
(20:28):
trouble upcoming that you gotta be careful about who you
talk about on the air, especially.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
If they're not a public figure.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Someone could be sitting on top of a major lawsuit
against one of the two of the biggest entities in
sports media right now. We'll explain that next on MJ
and The Midday on ninety three to three kJ Rtham
and and like say pretty much that, Hey, this guy
(20:59):
could be as so many people are afraid to do
that these days.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
He did not. He's like, no, I should do her
Sanders average quarterback.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Okay, all right, Walter Nolan, Shamar Stewart, I like that
a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
There's a story going on right now that a young
woman at Ole, Miss the University of Mississippi, named Mary
Cape Cornett could potentially make millions of dollars from Barstool Sports,
ESPN and Pat McAfee.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
She decides to sue for defamation.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
According to Dob Kleiman, who retweeted this, per Spencer Cornelia
and if you don't know the story, well, for what
it's worth, there was a nasty rumor. I'm not gonna
say it on the air because I'm not going to
get you know, kJ har in any trouble. You can
look it up and see what the rumor is. It's
(21:54):
very nasty about her and Barstool talk about it. ESPN
talked about it, and they did it in a way
that was well, let's just say defamation of character. And
Mary Kay Cornett right now is sitting on a potential
(22:14):
gold mine because she is a private citizen. She's not
like Hannah Cavender, the ex girlfriend of Carson Beck. She
who's this social media public figure. She was just a
student who went to Ole miss and some false, absolutely
ridiculous rumor when out there about her. That pretty much
(22:38):
is something that no woman wants out there about them.
And she is now and she's gone on I believe NBC.
She was interviewed by I saw her on with her
parents and her attorney, and they are looking into legal
action and she could be sitting on a very big
defamation of character suit, which I will tell you in
(23:03):
this day and age, you need to be careful. And
you know, like for instance, when I'm talking about Hannah Cavender,
who says like every other word, she put herself out there.
She's a social media influencer, and she is not beyond
public ridicule. She made herself a public figure. She is
a public figure. She played basketball at the University of
(23:24):
Miami and all this stuff her in her sister or
twins and they have this whole social media following.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
So she's fair game.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
This young woman was not, and a lot of people
who are in high ranking, public profile positions are now
sitting on pins and needles in a bad way that
they more than likely, I believe she's.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Going to and she should.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
She should unleash a wrath of a civil lawsuit against
said media organizations for talking about this just not good.
It's something that you got to be very careful on
who you talk about. And you know, listen last week
when I had Nick Baumgardner on from The Athletic and
he was talking about Mason Taylor, all I mentioned is
(24:14):
you know when he said, eah, he's the son of
Jason Taylor. He's the nephew Zach Thomas. That oh, by
the way, Nick, he's also the nephew of Joy Taylor.
And we laughed, Well, there's things out there about Joy
Taylor that are you know, been printed by some pretty
reputable organizations. That why she was off the air for
a little bit, and she's involved in a lawsuit and
(24:35):
those she's a public figure. So Joy Taylor knows that, Hey,
Antonio Brown wakes up every day on his Twitter handle
a b ab eighty four. And let's just say that,
Antonio Brown, it's Joy Taylor's fair game, Hannah Cavender's fair game.
A young freshman at Ole Miss who's you know, someone
who's just going about her business. Who this thing that
(24:58):
was horrible thing that's been reported about her. You can't
do it. You just can't do it.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Now, this is not, this is not Dave Portnoy didn't
say anything about her, but somebody at Barstool did. And
now Deve Portnoy might have to fork over a lot
of money to settle out of court because somebody at
Barstool did. And I'm not gonna name the person who
did it, but be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Pal.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You want to, you know, talk about all these things
that are being said on the online about certain people,
and they come back at you. You know, hell, hath
no fury like someone who has been wrongfully and publicly
humiliated scorn And I am with this young woman and
mary Ka Cornett, you go get paid, get paid because
(25:47):
you deserve to get paid. And I hope your attorneys
do whatever they can to get you and your family
as much money as possible, because no young woman deserves
her to have her reputation sullying, specially when all of
it was completely false and untrue.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
As this gotta be careful in this day and age.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
So, like I said when I was just speaking to
Mark Ross, mock drafts and most of these mock drafts,
and by the way, all the hosts here at the
station Purple Sheet wants is to come up with our
own mock draft. So I'm doing mine right now, but
I want to stay for the record when I release
my mock draft, which will probably be released tomorrow or Wednesday.
(26:30):
I'm doing this based on what I believe the organization
should do, not what they predicting what they will do,
so I want you to know that. So I'm putting
myself in the seat of all thirty two NFL general managers, okay,
(26:51):
all thirty two of them, from Jason light to John Schneider,
you know, to every single GM that is out there
that is making these picks.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I'm doing it saying, like, who should we Mike Borganzi,
who's the new general manager of the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
We know what he's going to do at number one.
There's no surprise there.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
So that's what I It's not what they will do,
it's what they should do.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
And when I get.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
To the Seahawks at eighteen, you might be surprised. You
might not be surprised at who I have the Seahawks taking.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Granted, the Seahawks can only take based on what the
seventeen teams picking before them, And specifically, I'm talking about
a couple that could have a conflict of interest, that
might need the same thing that the Seahawks need at eighteen.
I'm talking about the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts.
(27:54):
That's what I'm worried about. That's who I'm worry And
I'm with Daniel Jeremiah. He's got the Seahawks taking Colston
Loveland at eighteen. I would be so happy if Loveland
is on the board. But you know what, the worst
thing I can envision happening. You ready for this, Chris.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
I think, so what you got up your sleeve?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Let's just say Colston Loveland is on the board. You're
gritting your teeth.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Oh oh, you're bad.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Oh yeah. And I'm at the Virginia Mention Athletics Center.
Sold the comers and they take a receiver at eighteen.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
But I'm like, oh, no, no.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Who would you want at eighteen if they did take
a receiver? Like if you had to pick gun to
your head mark, you gotta pick this receiver or your
brand's gonna be everywhere.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Who you got? Oh, that's a great question. If I
you mean, I don't want a receiver, but if I had.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
To take, yes, meaning this on your board, obviously this
is the best receiver. And you're like, we gotta take him?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Who is it?
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Because I know it ain't Nate Nate, Oh sorry, that's
not his name.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Tenor Rowe McMillan.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
No, I'm gonna go with Luther Burden, not a Missouri
because he's a dog and he's got that dog in
him and he's just he's just he's he's a guy
that you couple him, and I just I just feel
like that position has been somewhat solidified. If Jake Bobo
(29:23):
can step up and be a perhaps a number four
and spell Marcus Valdez scantling, and I just feel like
I want that tight end man I wanted.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
To, I wouldn't even have an issue.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
And do I think that Mason Taylor being drafted at
eighteen would be an overdraft, yes, but based on if
the Seahawks aren't gonna move up from fifty to fifty two,
I wouldn't even have an issue if they took Mason
Taylor at eighteen seriously, just or like like I said,
I wouldn't even Here's here's what are acceptable to MJ
(29:57):
Mark with the C James nick em and Warri I'm
okay with it. Tyler Booker Guard Bama, okay, Kelvin Banks
Junior Texas, I'm all in fine, I'll be okay.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
They take your receiver at eighteen.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Make sure the dumb button is ready, guys.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I'm just I will be beside myself, just like I
was when the Patriots had two chances to take Lamar Jackson.
They took Isaiah Win and Sony Michelle and I knew it,
and I knew it and people and people back then. Bolton, ooh,
you know more than Bill Belichick when it comes to
drafting offensive skilled position players in the first round.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I do I know more than.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Bill Belichick because I would have taken Lamar f and Jackson,
and I wouldn't have taken Lamar with their second pick
in the first round. I would have taken Lamar with
their first pick in the first round, which was about
twenty twenty one, where they took Isaiah Win. They had
two chances, had Lamar f and Jackson, a guy who
probably should have three MVPs right now.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
And they took.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Sony Michelle and I say win then two years later
or no, was it two years later?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
No, it was a year later.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Days gonna take a receiver in the first round, all right, yes,
Deebo Samuel stud at South Carolina, AJ Brown Ole, Miss
dk metcalf Ole, Miss Terry mcclaurin Auburn. And with the
whatever pick and the twenty nineteen NFL Draft in New England,
Patriots select Nikhil Harry, wide receiver Arizona State. Oh, Bill, Bill,
(31:43):
Bill Bill, Let's just say, Bill, good for you. You've
done a better job at picking girlfriends than you do
offensive skill position players in the first round.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh did I just say that on the air?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yes? I did.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yeah. Oh, by the way, there's an article out there.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Imagine this Bill's starting to ruffle some feathers down in
Chapel Hill. Gee shocker, Yeah, color be shocked on that
one there.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Uh yeah, no kidding.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yeah, you know why because he doesn't want to be
there because he wants to be a head coach in
the NFL. That's why he's just doing this. Or his
son can take over. He can take over to be
the head coach. It's the only reason this. It's an
all song and dance he's doing. He is putting his cell,
his son in a position the way lebron has with Bronnie.
(32:37):
I will say this though, Steve Belichick is certainly more
worthy of being a head coach, maybe not at North Carolina,
but somewhere else than Bronnie James is in the NBA.
Steve Belichick has got He comes from good stock. He
learned under Bill with the Patriots. He came to Washington
last year, right he was a defensive coordinator for the Huskies,
(33:00):
did a good job, decent job for Jetfish, moved on
to North Carolina. I like Steve Belichick. Do I think
he should be a coach at a power for school?
Is his first head coaching? Tom f No, hell no,
But you know daddy's putting in a position to do it.
You know, nepotism is a funny thing. Tom Hanks came
out and said, whoa you know, if my son if
(33:21):
I ran a floor a flower shop.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
My son would be a florist.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Well, guess what, you're one of the Grace actors all time,
and your son became an actor. And by the way,
Colin Hanks is a really good actor. He's a really
good actor. So all right, I had a nice winning pick.
Did you take my advice on Friday night on that
playing game there?
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Did you take my advice on Friday night? Nailed that?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Nailed that? Mother?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Right on the oh. I was felt so good.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
I put a lot of money on Friday night and
nailed that thing. I hope you took my advice. I
got a winner for you coming up tonight. Beat the
Book next on MJ in the midday, ninety three to
three kJ A at them. You ready for this Seattle?
Here we f and go tonight in the NBA, give
(34:11):
me the Miami Heat in Atlanta. Do you see what
they hit the Heat did to the Bulls the other night?
Do you see what Eric Sposer can do in a
one game scenario? Well, Eric Spolsher versus Quinn Snyder. I'll
take Spolstra, I'll take Tyler Hero out of Bio Wiggins,
and this heat team. They're gonna make it in the playoffs,
(34:32):
and they're gonna make it in as the A seed
to where they're gonna play the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well, if
you listen to me, you got another winner, man red
Hot on the NBA.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I got another winner for you tonight, all right, I listen.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
I couldn't believe lifelong, diehard New York Knicks fan, and
I did not like what I saw for about three
quarters on Saturday until the Knicks went on a twenty
one nothing run, A twenty one n run in the
fourth quarter of an.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
NBA playoff game. Chris, have you ever seen that? No?
I have, not, right, It's rare, never seen. What else
can we say?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Campaign like wow, Cameron Payne, good lord? I mean, and
og didn't even have that really great of a game.
And I'll tell you what though, Uh, Pistons look good.
They looked really good. And I agree with JB. Bickerstaff
what he said after the game. I thought we'd played
(35:34):
good until the twenty one nothing run they did.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
They were up by eight or nine going in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Pistons get six and a half tonight at Madison Square Garden.
I know Ben Stiller Tracy Morgan. Let's see who else
will be there. Sting was there the other day, the
singer most people you wouldn't remember who he is, a
great group called the Police back in the day. Let's
see who else we know. Spike Lee will be there.
It's the one team he does root for that he's
(36:01):
not a bandwagon fan of. Give me the Pistons plus
six and a half tonight. I'm not saying that the
Knicks won't win the game. Give me the Pistons plus
the points tonight. I like the six and a half.
That's all I'm saying. Give me Kate Cunningham, Malik Beasley,
give me one of the Thompson twins osor Thompson. I
(36:23):
believe his name is the tom. These guys are balling,
they are bawling, and I think tonight they strike back.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Pistons win the game.
And I've got somebody down in Florida, a good friend
of mine who will take my action, and I don't
have to drive to the casino anymore. So that's great
(36:45):
news too. I thought i'd report that, Nope, those days
are over. Go to cash my tickets after Oklahoma City
wins the NBA Finals. I'll go cash that one when
that's over. Oh how about that? I did give another
one out the other day. I gave out my anti
LA part Nuggets in t Wolves, Nuggets over Clippers, t
Wolves over Lakers. Oh what happened there? C K what
(37:08):
happened to the Lakers the other day? Holy ish?
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (37:11):
They didn't play basketball? Shout out to Jayden McDaniels.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Jaden from you dubbed from a Federal way right.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I was great to see. I know, I'm all for
it should be a fun series.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
But if the Lakers don't figure it out, we could
be seeing Minnesota taking on the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Absolutely, And how about this. Let me just say this, man,
I got a Lebron looked old the other day. The
other day. He did not look like himself. He looked
really old. I think he had a minus twenty three
in that game. It was really bad. He just I'm like,
what the hell is going on with this Lakers team?
(37:53):
Just it looked really bad, man, really bad. Yeah, you
better play. Here's the thing about it. You got six
more games to get your ish together. Okay, So get
six more games in and you can turn it around.
I mean I'm rooting for obviously the other side. I
want ant Man and the t Wolves. But Lebron was
the other day. Nineteen points eight of eighteen, one for
(38:15):
five from three point range, four turnovers, looking old, looking
a father, Time could be catching up.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
We'll see you better turn it around.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
So a lot of things by This has been an
action pack quick show on a Monday afternoon. Don't forget
we got to what do you say? Text of the day.
But it's official. It is official. How you turn two
and a half million dollars into nine hundred grand The
(38:47):
dumbest financial decisions since the careers of Antwine, Walker, Terrell
Owens and Allen Iverson and I Love Ai. That is
next on MJ in the midday on ninety three to
three KJR.
