This is the best of the Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hello, welcome inside, Happy day one of the NFL Draft.
We made it The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Caleb Williams live from the Tirac dot Com Studios
Direct dot com. I hope you get there at unmatched election, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended installers tirack dot com. The way tire buying should

(00:50):
be well first round is in the books. And boy
did we have fun drama. We had unexpected drama. We
had a couple of teams go wait, wait, wait, what
what are you doing? What's happening? Wait? Waits, what's going
on here? I think the best thing to do is
let's work backwards. Okay, let's work back. We just finished
the first round. Great job listener, Rob Stone and Steve

(01:11):
Khim and Jay Glazer who busted ass out of here
gone to get to the airport to get to his wedding.
Like he was out of here so fast, like Jay's
is forty time getting out of the studio and into
his car. I mean he was. It was like watching Tyreek.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Hill run lean and mean drafts. He was like watching
Xavier Worthy in those highlight reels that we saw.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Usually we see Jay Stobbs like, hey, guys, hot, you
doing what I'm gone by, and he just kept walking away. Ferry,
we was gone. Uh. But we saw the first round
of the draft just and then let me let me
start here because this is this is a there's two
big things that that are gonna own the night, and
the first one is this. Near the end of the
first round, we just saw the Bills trade with the Chiefs. Yeah,

(01:53):
Bills were picking at twenty eight. They let the Chiefs
move up to take Xavier Worthy. Really good wide receiver,
incredible fast, as you mentioned, out of Texas. A lot
of people like him. There's a lot of talented wide
receivers on the board. Number One I don't get why
the Bills didn't draft him, because you know, the Bills
have no wide receivers. They let Stefan Diggs got that

(02:15):
wide receivers. Okay, so they should have drafted them, but
not only that. Secondly, how the hell do you help
the Chiefs? Don't get how the hell do you help
the Chiese. You know, if my ex girlfriend's boyfriend new
boyfriend calls me and says, hey, I'm in a pickle,
can you give me your ride to the airport, I'm
not saying yeah, I'll be over to get No, get
yourself friends, doesn't matter, doesn't matter. I mean, I don't know.

(02:41):
I mean, you're a nice guy.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
You might have a couple of minutes find out what
what it's so different about him that No.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Get bent, get yourself to the airport, taken uber, get
bent him a sandwich. There's no why would I do?
It's no way. There's no way. Man. Heys as my
daughter tells me, is that they go through like how
everybody is in high school. Now, there's there's alphas who
are leaders of a group and betas who are followers.
Sigmas are lone wolves, and omegas are ones who just

(03:12):
hang out by themselves. I am not a beta. I
am not following, and that's I'm not going oh yet. No,
why would you Why would you help the Chiefs? Why
would you help the Chiefs. It's one of the dumbest
things I think. Why would anybody help them? Hey, we
get to move up thirty slots in the fourth round.
If you were, if you were the figure round whatever,
that is the biggest bottom feeder in the NFC. I

(03:36):
can see making a trade with the Chiefs because you
could say, well, we're in the other conference. We stink,
so yeah, all right, we got to make ourselves We're
not worried about the Chiefs. We had to make ourselves better.
But the bill you are, you have just watched the
Chiefs end your season season the bo Nowns. Yeah, and
you say, yeah, we're gonna move back with you. Really,
you're gonna trade. We're gonna trade with the Super Bowl

(03:56):
champions and help them get better. They already brought in
Hollywood Brown. Now they got that Xavier Worthy. If Roushie
Rice figures his thing out, suddenly this is the best
group of wide receivers Patrick Mahomes has had since Tyreek
Hill left. And you you gave it to him. You said, here,
I'm knocking on your door with brownies. I'm your neighbor
from across the street. It's like it's the movie where

(04:17):
the single divorced dad moves in. Who's good looking, like
Jamie Denton or somebody like that, and you really just
go Jamie. I did go Jamie dwtow. And then like
you know, a housewife from across like Desperate Housewives come
from across the street. Oh, I made this platter of
food for you. Hey, can we be friends? That one
not doing that Murphy Highway? Why would you do that?
I don't understand why you would help the Chiefs. I
don't get that. That's the team you're chasing. That's the

(04:39):
team that's gonna get to three of the next six
Super Bowls most likely, and you just said, hey, here's
something else to help you get there.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Because you know, what I did immediately was all right,
what did they get? Is there something that's not being communicated?
You know that that somehow we didn't have here, that
wasn't on the television. It's like, was it cut off
the graphic? Did they get some other player her some
of the rights. I don't know because just the transfer
of then the swapping of picks made absolutely zero sense

(05:08):
for a Buffalo squad trying to maximize whatever's left of
Josh Allen's peak years, and you're.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Not doing it by trading down and not drafting on.
They traded out again. They traded. Not only did they
trade there, they traded with the Panthers at the final pick.
Maybe people won't notice or pay attention if we trade
the pick again, Maybe they'll forget that we're the ones
that traded with the Chiefs to begin with.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
I don't when they sees Xavier Worthy running past him,
because that's gonna show up on the damn graphic every time.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Hey, you know how they got him? Look Bills. And
here's the thing. And here's the thing about wide receivers
in the draft. Yes, you could say, well, if Xavier
Worthy was that good, he would have been drafted earlier.
And I understand that. But every year in the draft,
the wide receivers are better and better. There may be
no difference between Xavier Worthy and Romo Dunes. When it's
all said and done, you get five or five or

(06:00):
six rookie wide receivers jump in every year and they're
good ask anybody who plays Fantasy Boy, these rookie wide
receivers where you go right and if you were look
if the Jets wanted to sure, okay, you Jets, you'll
screw it up because whatever you do is wrong. But
I don't get how you trade with Jay Davis is gone.

(06:22):
I don't under Von Diggs is gone. Guess what you
need a guy to go run under the ball? I
really I don't. I don't understand how you how you
do that? I really don't. Now as far as things
I don't understand. Yeah, that was that was. If that's
on the metal stand.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
That's but that's that's at the end of the round,
at that point where I don't know there's a coma
or something.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I don't know. There's a metal stand of things that
I didn't get. There's three definite things in your first
round of draft that I go, oh boy, this made
no sense. And that's on the metal stand right to
congra It's not gold medal though, but it's it's it's
it's a bronze or silver. It's hey, you're getting flowers.
They you know, you bend over, they put the metal
around your neck and you do the whole thing. I
bite it like a look like it's real. That's on

(07:01):
the metal stand. We shall do that the fifties. No,
that's a whole thing. Like you do. You pretend to
bite them like it's real gold or real silver chocolate
like that. You Well, if you gave me a chocolate
metal I think it wouldn't make it. Hey, didn't Jason
Smith win a silver medal? Yeah, but it was made
of chocolate. No, he ate it before the pictures did
it wasn't supposed to find out. Weren't they taking pictures
the same time they put it around his neck. Yeah,
he just shoved in his mouth and started chewing. Look

(07:23):
at him there, he's just chilling.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
All of a sudden, there's you know, a bunch of
orange people running bike calling you a gush, just.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Glum, and my hand would be out like Homer Simpson.
More more, just doing them more more.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
You start biting anything and everything near you, like you're
in the land of chocolate.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh no, the dog runs by, he picks it up
and bites it. The other thing is it's gonna be
very difficult because I know who the hardest working people
are right now in show business, and well it's not
James Brown. The hardest people working right now, you get it, well,
you gotta go to the dead. Get No, James Brown
is not dead. The hardest working guy in show business
is James Brown? Is this the former Fox and CBS guy?

(08:00):
Heard that about him? No, hardest working guy in show business?
James Brown. That what he tags himself. That would know
someone tagged him with that, and that's what he's been
James Brown. No, No, James he was a enor year
he was living in America. Yeah, I didn't bring up
his seat. And you say me, otto, bring up the
dead guy? You did? You brought up a dead guy
that we weren't even talking about.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
You weren't talking about that James Brown, Right, I was
the hell would you bring that?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
James?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
I was talking about James Brown, the former Texas quarterback. Yes,
that's who I was talking about. No, James Brown, hardest
we you never hurt, seriously, and you not for that,
James Brown. It was for the other. It was for
the singer. Even Tyshert knows that's his nickname. And now
Tyshert knows nothing about sport, absolutely nothing. I think if
you took a poll, he doesn't know hours of teams.
And I'm telling you, is James Brown hardest working guy

(08:41):
in show business. That's it. That's it. That's been his
moniker for like twenty five years. I don't believe you.
What have you been doing? Where have you been? It's
like you've been hiding somewhere, like you've been with Keimny Schmidt,
like under under the you know, finally you get out,
like hey, time ago, okay.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
In the past, hanging out with Brendan Fraser in his
nineteenftis baseball cards.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
The hardest working people in show business right now, not
James Brown, are is everyone who's trying to come up
with a hot take for tomorrow on TV or the
radio where they can say, I really want to defend
the Falcons taking Michael Lennox Junior. I really want to
How can I defend it? Now? I can defend it

(09:23):
for him because there's a silver lining for taking Penix,
which we'll get to in a few minutes. But why
the Falcons would take a quarterback? It baffles It doesn't
make sense on any level. And you've already seen Kirk
Cousins is upset. His agent said, Hey, we didn't know
that the Falcons would be taking a quarterback until it
actually happened on the draft. It was an insane moment

(09:45):
and the biggest what just happened moment in the draft
the last few years. Easy. The Falcons signed kirk Cousins
to a four year contract. Right, they're paying them a
lot of money, and they go and they signed Michael
Pennix Junior. I get what they're thinking. We're the smartest
people in the room. Kirk Cousins is older. We're gonna
do exactly what the Packers did. We're going to motivate

(10:05):
kirk Cousins to play well the next couple of years,
and then in three years or so, we'll replace him
with Michael Pennock Junior. And it's Jordan Love and boy
aren't we smart? Patting ourselves on the back. There's only
one problem with that philosophy. Oo is it the tagline
we've been using the last week. No, there's only no,
there's it's not no at all. There's only one problem
with that philosophy. Ask me what it is? What is it?

(10:28):
There's only one problem that philosophy. It's stupid. That's the
only stinks to It's stupid. It's to these the head
coach Raheem Morris GM, everybody else who drafted Michael PENNOCKX
and the players that are playing on the Falcons now
are not going to be around by the time he

(10:50):
ascends to being the starting quarterback. You're trying to win now.
And I get why Kirk Cousins is frustrated because he says, boy,
I would have liked to get a pick now to
win something. And that was the whole issue with Jordan Love. Hey,
Aaron Rodgers is pretty good. You picked Jordan Love, do
you really need to? But we motivated him by pick Okay,
but I think you would have rather had a guy
there that might have helped you win. You could have
had a franchise player. Especially if you're picking in the

(11:13):
first round, you get a franchise player there potentially that
could help you win more. When you're picking at number nine,
you can get a franchise player for whatever your draft
needs are. Because I guarantee you I'll look at all
the thousands of Falcons mock drafts that are out there,
dirty Bird mock draft, Falcon mock draft Falcon and Eagle
mocked out. Whatever is not one is gonna say one
of their needs is quarterback. I forget the Falcon and

(11:33):
the snowman. Not what Oh yeah, that's right de Niro
and Sean Penn. No, that was Timothy Hutton was the Falcon.
He was the falcon. He was a snowman. Who was he?
Who was the falcon? Penn was the snowman because of
the drugs? Okay, and he was the falcon because he
flew superhero movie. No, he flew in. No, no, he

(11:55):
flew in, got the drugs, flew out. It's been a
minute since. Why you wouldn't take that number nine pick
to get a franchise type player? Because here's what up
that philosophy. You signed Kirk Cousins, who is in his
mid thirties. You are trying to win now. You are
trying to win now, and you took somebody that, in
theory isn't going to see the field for three years?

(12:18):
Why would you do that? Why would everybody else in
that locker room, all the Falcons players are going, what
the hell are we doing? Yeah? I get that they're
planning for the future. It's a future that I'm not
gonna be here for because in three years I'm gonna
be playing somewhere else. Now A couple of people will
get the long term contracts, but likely I'm gonna be
someplace else. And we're supposedly trying to win. We have
a good nucleus. All they need is Kirk Cousins. We

(12:39):
are winning now and winning now. Suddenly they decided, no,
we're gonna take this quarterback because we want to take
care of our quarterback room for the next ten years.
That's just stupid. This is the Falcons getting two full
of themselves thinking we're the smartest guys in the room.
Look at us. Win the draft and we get a quarterback. Now, yeah,
you may have a quarterback for the next for seven
to ten years, but maybe not if you're wrong. You

(13:02):
know how much this sets the team back because as
years go on, you're not drafted the quarterbackcause you're waiting
for Michael Penix, waiting for Michael Penix, waiting for Michael Penix.
There's nothing in this move that is correct. There is
nothing in this move that's correct for the Falcons. I
get why Kirk Cousins is mad. I get why the
players are mad. I don't know how happier said Raheem
Morris is, but he can't be that happy. I'm sure

(13:22):
he wants a player because he knows he's not gonna
be around by the time Michael Pennix Junior becomes a quarterback.
There's nothing right about this move by the Falcons, and
it's the biggest and there's a reason why it's gonna
be really hard for anybody to get on the other
side and go I really like what the Falcons did.
Let me look at the clicks on Twitter. Look at this.
Look everybody telling me I'm an idiot. Oh I love that.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, no, I'll tell you how they're gonna make that
argument right now. First off, go back to the Packers.
I defended the Jordan Loves selection when we came on
that night, and I defend it now because you'd had
situations whereby you had a team that was a team
that could win and Aaron Rodgers has gotten hurt. Remember
when you had to go to remember that year? Great start? Yeah, sure,

(14:03):
and then it went to hell, you know, kind of like.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Your Jets lest you. But well, because we kept that.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
The other thing is, you know, Jordan Love at that
point was like twenty one and a half as opposed
to he's twenty four going on twenty five and now
we're gonna wait another three years potentially to kick the
can down the road. But the argument people will make
is you've got a team that's assembled and is ready
to win. You brought in Darnell Mooney, you already had
Drake London, you already had Kyle Pitts. So thinking that

(14:29):
Kirk Cousins brings the best out of him, Rodendell Moore
and remember Bjehn Robinson. This was the best joke of
at all. Hey, for the second year in a row,
the Falcons drafted a guy they're not gonna use. So
you have Bjehon Robinson and Tyler Olgy year there. So
Captain Kirk mid thirties coming off a big injury, looking
around the division and saying, if Captain Kirk either isn't

(14:52):
ready to go or he gets hurt again, we got
a guy that's gonna be learning and gonna be ready
to be plugged in. That's how they're making the argument.
They're looking at the rest of the division really saying
he's going to be able to be that guy if
they need.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Him to be. So that's the argument. But remember you
gave Kirk Cousins one hundred and sixty million dollars. But
here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Dollar cost averaging sixty you're not paying Panics that much
and as as we know from draft day, it doesn't
count against the cab.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
That's seven million dollars will help our salary cap problems.
Wait a go Shan McBride working on my shy McBride.
If that was pretty good, Yeah, that would help us
all our salary cap. Tell me you didn't watch it
at least once. I watched it last night. Yeah, and
you know I forgot my favorite line is I'm like, okay,
because there's so many great one liners, but I think
my favorite line, because I watch it today, is when
they bring Frank Langela to the draft and you know

(15:39):
he's gonna sit at the table where the people helping
the introduced. They go, hey, hey, uh, here's you know,
so and so is helping us jumping numbers. So and
so he's helping us. Great, great, great, and Frank Langella goes,
I'm not sitting here. No, no, no, no, you're with
the cushire. You're you're in the lounge. Yeah, just tell me,
nods at both those people and goes, I'm not sitting
here and points to the table like this about exit

(16:01):
out by the Fresco exit Swallen Doll. We're just getting
started with the Falcons and Kirk Cousins. The move makes it,
doesn't make it. You're trying to win. Now, you sign
a thirty five year old quarterback. You gave him a
lot of money, But no, now you really I'm telling you,
I want to see. I want to see who really
really leans into that tomorrow as he really leans and

(16:22):
I'll hit you with a fastball. You're gonna have a
You're gonna have the stitches marking up your arm like
they do in it. Oh, it's just gonna bounce off
by triceps. So it's fine. So we'll have more on
that and the other big questionable move on the metal
stand tonight from Round one of the NFL Draftkeeper right here,
Jason said Mike Harmon, We're just getting started. This is

(17:57):
get to the other bit of the metal stand of
the the three most questionable ridiculous things in the first
round of the NFL Draft, let me just say this
because also in the Middlestown we talked about the Bills
trading with the Chiefs, which is just stupid. You know,
it's bad enough they didn't, Like I said, it's bad enough,
they didn't draft a wide receiver when they have a
crying need for one, right because they don't have percent body, right,

(18:18):
I mean that's what you need to say. No, no, we're
gonna trade out of the first round entirely, Like what
the hell is going on? Suddenly again, I feel great
about winning the AFC east Man Jets Jets Jets, Jets, Jets,
Jets Jets, Yeah, I feel great, But like you trade
with the Chiefs, I'm like, Okay, you know what, you
couldn't just keep you know, you couldn't just screw yourselves, right,
You couldn't just say you had to screw everybody else too.
You had to screw me and my team, and the

(18:40):
Packers fans and the forty nine Ers fans and the
Dolphins fans and everybody else, everybody out just screw everybody
else by saying, oh, we're gonna trade with the Chiefs.
Just if you're gonna screw your team, stick to yourselves, right,
don't don't don't get outside your sandbox and screw other
teams because now, okay, now, oh now, I gotta look
at the Chiefs and go, this is the best wide
receiver room they've had in years. Okay, great, thanks a lot, Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, I'm gonna quote the the late great Matthew Perry
as Chandler bing, I'm going down.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
I'm taking all of you with me. Could that be
any more of a stupid pick?

Speaker 3 (19:12):
So if my so on my run, I'm trying to
win not only a division challenge towards a Super Bowl
appeiance is going to go to hell. I'm taking all
of you with Why how about a mass conspiracy right here?

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Why did you do that? Look?

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Why why are they fixing things for the Chiefs? Eight
seven seven?

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Xavier Worthy may wind up being great, he may wind
up being Canarious Tony, but he's got a great pedigree,
and there are great wide receivers coming, like got five
or six wide receivers. Nothing else. Your safety has to
pay attention to him streaking down the field. The Bill
what what what are the Bills doing? If we can't
win the Super Bowl? You can't win it either? Like
is that like maybe that's you're saying with Dob, Hey,

(19:54):
we're we are window is closed. We have ruined Josh
Allen's career. But now we're ruined yours like you like you,
like you. Hey, if you can rise up from last place,
you're cool.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
We're out.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Like who was the college football coach they said that
about a couple of years ago, like a guy that
was like five and five or six and five, five hundred,
he approaching a big school, and the big quote was, Hey,
this guy can ruin his season, and he can ruin
your season like he can be He could suck and
beat his own team, but he can beat your team.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Sure play spoiler. Just good enough to be dangerous, right,
we say that all the time. Right, you have a
little bit of knowledge about something, I'm good enough to
potentially really screw this up if it goes south. And
that's exactly what the Bills did today. I'd love to
hear their explanation tomorrow. I mean, they can't do Frank Langelo,
we had a great day.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, No, they can't. They can't lie to anybody. Son
Sonny is gonna talk to me. I'm gonna be back
in the headquarters in an hour and a half. He
will talk to me that my planes leaving Teeterborough in
a half hour. H Okay, So you're going to the draft.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
No, I'm going to Spider Man, keep on, you know,
turn off the dark.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
So metal stand. We have the bills and the trade
with the Chiefs. We have the Falcons and ridiculously taking
Michael pennixter Right now, we have this and I've been
waiting for this one because I've been waiting to give
you this. Chris Berman won right, waiting to give you this.
How would Chris Berman announce this pick? The Chargers take

(21:27):
Joe Alt offensive tackle at number five, right, great player,
great player. But I would say something like this and TJ.
I'd like to hit control Alt delete on this pick
for the Chargers. TJ. I really would, because what did

(21:47):
I tell you last night? I was scared the most
for the Chargers. They would screw up their draft because
they need a wide receiver more than anything. They don't
have anyone, and their best player is Justin Herbert saying
anything that is not true. Their best player is Justin Herbert.
Their number one need is wide receiver because they have
nobody nobody. But my fear was if they don't take

(22:09):
Marvin Harrison Junior or Romodunze or elite neighbors, if they
don't get a big game breaker at five. This tells
me not that okay, we'll get somebody, but when this
is your number one need, this tells me that my
biggest fear for Jim Harbaugh is coming true. That they're
gonna play hardball ball, which means it's gonna be the
Michigan offense where they're gonna try to run the ball

(22:31):
with a couple of running backs and they're going to
de emphasize the quarterback position, which is really weird that
Harbaugh talks about how great JJ McCarthy was, because maybe
he'll let him throw more passes if he really believed
in them. But the Charger are now going to say, hey,
we're gonna put the ball on our offensive line and
two Jag running backs right, because that goes Look, JK.
Dobbins can't stay healthy. Gus Edwards, he's a Jag. But

(22:53):
this is how they're gonna win because Hardball's scheme is
going to do it. And I knew that if they
didn't take a wide receiver, you know, now this is
what they're gonna do. They're gonna try to run the
football a ton, and all of a sudden, justin Herbert's
pass attempts are gonna go way down, and they're gonna
minimize a contribution from their best player. Tell me when
that's worked for anybody in the NFL. Where who's your
best player? Yeah, we're gonna put less on his shoulders.

(23:15):
Wait what, Yeah, we're gonna do that. Well, I don't
know that that's gonna work. Yeah, we're gonna do it
because we haven't won this way. This is my way.
And schemover player on offense is a horrible choice. Defense. Yes,
you can scheme over player on defense. You can find
a lot of guys. You know, you had a rotation
on defense with the defensive line. You can find guy.
You can do that. Scheme over player on defense. There's

(23:36):
enough talent out there. But offense is about the players
and the playmakers, and when you get a great one,
that's the guy you gotta ride. And you can't scheme
over player on offense. Look at what happens. Look at
what happens with the Jets. Right, schemeover player. We're gonna
run the same offense with Zach Wilson. We're gonna run
with Aaron Rodgers. Hey ain't gonna work. Why because Zak
Wilson is not Aaron Rodgers. What happened? The Jets were
so unbelievably godly awful on offense. You can't do that.

(23:59):
But yet that's what's Harbaugh seems like he's gonna do.
I knew that pick. I'm going, Okay, hey, it's great.
You picked an offensive line and that's great. And Justin
Herbert can sit back and say, wow, they got a
protective for me, and that's great, Yes, awesome. But he
needs somebody to throw the football too, and he's going
he's really gonna succeed to go from Keen Allen, Mike
Williams to Quinton Johnston and maybe Charlie Joyner, John Jefferson,
Kellen Winslow Senior. I mean, that's gonna work.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
I think Gates can still run a couple of five
and Al Malcolm Floyd is gonna come back that his
toes will. I mean that the rest of them might.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
That tells me that I am out on the charges
right now. Well, I'm so out on Harbaugh and the charges.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Now.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
We talked about your fear yesterday and it came to
fruition a lot of smoke over the course of the
day as to whether they get an offer good enough
to trade back. Now they do pick thirty seventh, so
we're gonna see them in pretty short order here in
the second round. And there's still plenty of value at
wide receiver. Yeah, not one of those three heavyweights jumping

(24:54):
off the board.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
But to some of the.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Logic, and this is why, you know, in my half
assed art throwing competition, I had them taking Latham thinking,
right tackle, maybe you re signed Pipkins because you like him,
but you don't love him. You move him inside or
he's available, and then you bring in Latham instead, they
go for alt the more celebrated of the two, with
his notre name and all American nods and all of

(25:19):
that fun stuff. But the idea of if we're gonna win,
Justin Herbert has to stay up right. I need to
have a guys to throw him to throw you, no
question about it. But in the end, if he's on
his ass or it gets knocked out, we're not going anywhere.
And you had the reclamation projects coming out of Baltimore
that you signed to your backfield. Austin Eckler's gone, so

(25:43):
power running and the protector for Justin Herbert, thinking there's
an active marketplace for wide receivers, right, not just the
ones you got rid of, right, you traded Keenan Allen
and Mike Williams went away. And now you can replenish
that because there's plenty of dissatisfied and salty receivers. Because
that was the other talk of the day. That was
the thing I was most surprised about. The only veteran

(26:04):
wide receiver news we got was aj Brown getting a
giant bag. Otherwise a lot of speculation of guy's getting
dealt he hasn't happened.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
He's twenty seven, He's gotten three huge contract for him.
That's I mean, that's something's a wizard like that.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
And to be disgruntled, Yeah, all sorts of reports that
you are a pain in the assid might have been
a problem, oh for your team sinking in the second half,
and yet you still get a ninety four million dollar extension.
That guy's on my metal standard Heroes of the day,
But legitimately talking about the forty nine ers wide receivers

(26:38):
made so many of the veterans Courtland Sutton, even though
Denver says, eh, we're not gonna maybe maybe if the
price is right, you're there. And again you've got two
picks coming up here in short order thirty seven and
then I think like sixty sixty nine. So there you
go round three. So still some value in the draft
board that you think maybe you can find a guy

(26:58):
or two to help augment thing. But I really that's
that's the need, that's the need that there's no bigger
need they had than wide receiver. None, because they let
everybody you're talking about, Joshua Palmer and Quenton Johnston are
your two guys. And Joshua Palmer is just a guy,
and Quentin Johnson was awful last year, like one of
the biggest wide receiver busts in recent history.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Awful. Now, maybe you see the puff pieces working this offseason. Yeah.
You know, what you know when you work hard is great.
Catch the ball in the game. That's what that's catch
the ball in the game. That's that's what I think about. Hey,
you know what, can you show me you can catch
the ball in the game. Oh no, you can't do
that till September? Okay, got it, got it, Okay, show
me catch ball in the game. I mean, that was
one of the all time worst seasons by a wide receiver.

(27:40):
It was awful and this week you're gonna go in
with again, which tells me they don't care because this
is the offense that hardball is gonna run. Because he
thinks I'll put my Michigan offense out there and we'll
beat Washington, we'll beat Alabama. But yeah, not gonna work.
Not when you don't take advantage of your best player,
and Justin Herbert is your best player. You know what
we're gonna get to do it about a month's time?
What's that play the schedule game? When loss? When can

(28:05):
they bully this team around? Maybe? Yeah, it's coming soon enough?
National Holiday? Oh Man, Twitter it out about a Fresco.
Mike gets swollen down The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Carmen live from the tire rack dot
Com Studios. Now to a guy who we thought was
gonna go in the first round tonight, but he has
slipped entirely out, so he's doing updates for us tonight

(28:26):
and maybe comes off the board early tomorrow. In the
second round, it's Steve Disager.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
It's gonna be Ada and I Mitchell kool Aid, mckinstrey
and then.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Me, Yeah, there you go a metal stand baby, do
you want to get picked before after kool Aid, Like,
what what do you want?

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Like, yeah, it's gonna be a mess afterwards because kool
Aid doesn't he always break through the wall.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Stains y. Yeah, you can actually use that to dye
your hair. No, my kids used to do that. You
cannot get cool.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
You get kool Aid in something, you may as well
just pour the rest of it on there and make
it look like he did it on purpose. Eye your
hair blue or red or purple. It's a tight eight shirt? Really, yeah,
would you tieye with kool Aide?

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Okay, great.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
People are hearing that and saying, oh yeah. Meanwhile, I
hear that jj McCarthy is the first Michigan quarterback taken
in the first round of an NFL draft since Jim Harbough,
quarterback from Michigan taken by No Not the Jets. Vikings
moved up a spot at number ten to take McCarthy,
and also at twelve, a quarterback was selected Oregon's bow

(29:25):
Nicks by the Denver Broncos, which meant we had six
quarterbacks taken in the top twelve tonight. So Stuart Mandel
from The Athletic point out that after the first round
ended seventy five percent of the first rounders tonight or
from schools that will be in the Big Ten or
the SEC this fall. My first reaction is, I think
seventy five percent of the college football team starting next

(29:46):
year in the Big Ten or the SEC.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
You think there'll be a separate NFL draft next year
for just Big ten SEC players. Then the next week, Hey,
these are for all the other guys coming in.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
It's the equivalent of that new tournament that's going to
replace the Yeah. Kind of like that. Seven wide receivers
were taken in the first round. That ties the record.
No running backs yet taken in this draft, by the way,
that hasn't happened but once in the last decade, when
Breece Hall was the first running back selection a couple
of years ago when he went thirty sixth overall, But

(30:20):
the top three were quarterbacks as expected, USC's Caleb Williamston
the Bears, LSUQB Jayden Daniels to Washington, North Carolina quarterback
Drake May to New England. Also, quarterback Michael Pennix from
Washington went to the Atlanta Falcons at eight overall, and
then Washington receiver Roma doonze to the Bears at nine. Overall,

(30:40):
things wound up with a couple of wide receivers late
first round, San Francisco getting Florida Gators receiver Ricky Pearsol
and then South Carolina Xavier Laguette went to Carolina, which
traded up for that. The Eagles gave wide receiver aj
Brown a three year extension worth eighty four million dollars guaranteed.
As for MLB action, The late game had ow OAKLN
beating the Yankees three to one in New York. Dodgers

(31:02):
Today a two to one winner at Washington, the win
to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the save to Evan Phillips his seventh
year under one at Kansas City, a five inning game
due to rain. Royal's edge Toronto two to one. NHL Playoffs,
Florida and Carolina each one on the road, each up
three games to none in first round series, Florida with
a five to three win at Tampa Bay and two

(31:24):
seed Carolina with a three to two victory at the Islanders.
In the NBA playoffs, things started with Orlando dominating Cleveland
one twenty one to eighty three, worst playoff loss in
Cavs history. In fact, Orlando led by forty three in
the fourth quarter, so the Cavaliers lead in this first
round series is two games to one. Then Philadelphia got
fifty points from Joel Embiid and beat New York one

(31:46):
twenty five to one. Fourteen. Nicks lead the series two
games to one and Denver's up three games to none.
They've just beaten the Lakers in LA. In imagine this
another comeback one twelve one oh five. Lakers get out
to an eight to zero lead, they're up to two.
Well first half and good start to the second half
of the Nuggets and the Lakers. I mean the Nuggets
were not good from three point range five of twenty eight.

(32:07):
Lakers were five of twenty seven, including some makes late.
But for the longest time, no Laker guard had made
a three pointer.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
They had won three in the first half.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
At one point, the guards were oh of thirteen from
long distance. As the Lakers are on the verge of elimination,
can we just say out loud? Lebron James has had
six seasons as a Laker, notably was Finals MVP when
they won the title in the Bubble in twenty twenty.
But the year before that under five hundred missed the
playoffs entirely, and the year after that out in the

(32:38):
first round, and the year after that a couple of
years ago, missed the playoffs entirely. Swept by the Nuggets.
Last year, could be swept by the Nuggets first round.
This year, four out of his six years as a
Laker could be, to say the least, not worth writing
home about.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve. The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Carmon live from the tire
rack dot Com Studios. Ye, that's more in the NBA.
Coming up in a bit again, the Laker. We told
you the Laker season was over after Game two. This
is just telling you even more it's over. Hey, DiAngelo
scored as many points as I did tonight. That's good.
You did. And the thing is, you have a better
shooting percentage I did. You didn't take a shot at right,

(33:14):
You didn't take a shot at all. But coming up next,
one of the biggest things that happened in the draft
tonight was a team that didn't take a quarterback. That's next,
Radio Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Hello and welcome in side final hour tonight to the
Jason Smith Show with my bes friend Mike Harmon, live
from the Tirack dot Com Studios. You know him has
brought in some champagne today. You did, really? I almost did.
Drinking on the air is never well. I've caught a
ten to fifty five and change that we'd be okay, eh, yeah,

(33:57):
and then we'd be driving, so that would be mean. No.
I think that's a to lose for everybody. That's an
l all the way around.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
I was just gonna try to celebrate a day where
the Bears didn't overthink things.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
I don't think they had any prayer counsels before Caleb
Williams went out there.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
And your jets are the jets. You think if Caleb
Williams they should have had to go up there and
actually read off the plans for the new stadium. I
ain't that better? Will you all help me be the
best I can be by funding the extra two point
three billion dollars for this stadium. And here it is,
and he's got the big unfolds a piece of paper.
This is what our stadium is gonna look like. We

(34:35):
just need money for it. We just need cats. Started
passing the hat. Take a picture with me a hundred bucks. Now,
outside of the top two, there's a definitive quarterback pick.
I like the most out of all of them. But
let's let's deal with Caleb Williams and Jayden and Daniels
here for a second. Now, this was no secret. We
knew for a long time. Caleb Williams is going number
one overall, and we knew for a good amount of
time Jaden Daniels was going number two. And what really

(34:59):
cements And I know that there's gonna be the inevitable
Kayleb Williams backlash and all the prince stuff this week.
But again, if you're gonna get called prince, I mean,
why don't you talk compared him to somebody who sucks tonight,
who is eccentric and that nobody liked. You're a star
and I'm the big dipper. No no, no, no, no,
no no no no. Usually when you see a shiny

(35:24):
new toy like Jaden Daniels, right this, this shows you
how good the league thinks. Caleb Williams is and everybody
knows Caleb Williams is for all the people are gonna
pick apart at in the next twenty four hours are
gonna be really difficult for him. Uh. Usually when that happens,
there's some kind of discussion or debate and the teams
take it serious that hey, maybe this shiny new toy

(35:47):
is the number one overall pick. Right, because Caleb Williams
didn't have the year Jaden Daniels did. Right, He had
a year that was filled with controversy, right, whether people
wanted to get upset about how he painted his nails
or I'm hugging my mom after a game, whatever it was,
it was not a good year for Caleb Williams as
it was for Jaden Daniels. The guy is insane. He
was a stat machine Heisman Trophy. Usually a guy like

(36:07):
that eats into the number one presumed overall pick and
there's at least a debate, who do you take number
one overall? I remember when when it was Andrew Luck
and RG three, it was boy, Andrew Luck is great,
but wow, RG three, it was sure, who are we
taking number one? And it was a big debate and
it was talked about and there was a lot of
research that went on and teams went back and forth.
I don't know what this guy, but this tells you

(36:30):
how good Caleb Williams is. Is that as good as
Jayden Daniels is. There was never a debate that he
was gonna go ahead of Kayleb Williams. There was never hey,
who would you rather have? Right? And I know the
opening in the draft to night on ESPN, I forget
it was saying I'm gonna go the other way and
I'm gonna take Jaden Dangles because I want people to
tell me I'm an idiot on social media, but there
was no real ever and I forget who it was.
It's Lewis, I don't know why. I don't want to

(36:51):
say it was, but it was somebody. So I'm gonna
go the other way. I'm gonna say, take Jadan Daniels
number one. Overall, okay, fine. There was never any serious
debate or questions from anyone that the Bears should pick
anyone but Caleb Williams at number one. The only debate
was is Caleb Williams really want to plays? He really
upset about playing?

Speaker 2 (37:06):
There?

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Is he not?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
What signals is he sending? Where that was the only
thing that was up in the air. But there was
never from anyone, from any analyst, from any insiders that, yeah,
this is a guy you should look into. Take in
Jade and Daniels ahead of Caleb Williams. Just if you
didn't know anything about the guys and you watch the
highlight packages from these two guys tonight, you see, Yes,

(37:28):
Jayden Daniels a terrific player, throws great from the pocket.
Right then mel Kiper talked about how accurate he was
from the pocket. Jade, I love Jayden Daniels. He's a
phenomenal player. But you see some of the throws that
Caleb Williams makes, some of the plays he makes, how
he sees the field, and it's like, there's Jaden Daniels
and then this is a guy operating at a different level.
And for the Bears to not overthink it is great. Look,

(37:49):
it seems like the easiest thing in the world to
take a guy number one overall, But just ask Sonny
Weaver Junior, who traded for the pick, traded away from
the pick he traded second round picks, got his picks back.
It did not the easiest thing to do. When you
have so much time, and you're being told this guy
likes this, this guy might like this, what about this guy?
Look how good this guy is. But you just see that,
you know the difference between Caleb, the different between Williams

(38:11):
and Daniels and May and the other quarterbacks. We talked
about that a few minutes ago. There's a huge level
like it was those three and then it was the
next three. But the difference between Caleb Williams and Jayden
Daniels is absolutely huge.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Well, you go through the process, and obviously we had
the extra year of Caleb Williams in the spotlight. I
had already had a monster season and was coming back again.
And obviously many things went wrong for USC this year
when you talk about how porous and just deplorable the
defense was, and his coach did him no favors. Right

(38:45):
when postgame press conferences after loss has become optional, Who's
gonna lose off that not Lincoln Riley, No, it becomes
a question of Caleb Williams and fair to ask, but
he kind of had it answered over the last month,
certainly with a lot of the chatter. Once Justin Fields
got traded kind of solidified that and you watched Williams

(39:10):
at the combine and being there for his teammates. You
saw even tonight right taking pictures with the fans in Detroit,
finding the Bears fans, and his excitement for Adonza being drafted.
All of those things you lean into. But heading into
this draft process, there was nothing except some noise all

(39:30):
outside and usually squashed pretty early. What Dad's demanding, what
people around him, what I'm hearing, does he want to
be in Chicago? And then retractions within twenty four hours, mean, look,
you we'll call what it is. It was across all
networks where you had some of that. It's like, I
don't know about this guy here, and look, in Chicago,

(39:51):
you're going to have a certain faction of the fans
that will immediately go to the fingernail paint and everything
else as soon as he throws us for interception or
makes his first bad decision and the Prince's concept. You know,
you can joke about it in a million ways. I
think it just comes to the fact that you don't
really know this guy as well as you think you do,

(40:13):
and that's good. He's not a guy living necessarily in
social media, except when he finally clapped back. It's like,
all right, yes, adversity, here's what it means, and here's
what my year looked like. Did you not watch any
of it? You saw me battle with this squad this
last year. So with Daniels, you didn't have that extra
year to pick apart, right, even with the transfer or

(40:33):
whatever else, he wasn't the guy at the top of
the heat. So Caleb Williams has already been dissected every
which way till Sunday, right, And with Jayden Daniels, he
got it in the last two weeks. Was he unhappy
when there were three other guys there? His agent and
what he had to say didn't seem like Drake May
was ever in the same category. It's the here's one,
here's two, and then we you know, take that deep

(40:56):
step off and not quite the Bill Belichick analysis of
Drake May right before the pick was made, where he yeah, dissrated.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Him, Yeah, yeah, sort of not a fan but not
a fan.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Yeah, Hey, the Patriots are gonna pick him though, right,
a kind of thing, but yeah, that drop off, But yeah,
Jayden Daniels will we'll probably get a little more of
that dissection from the media out there questioning those same things.
Does he want to be here? Does he want like
this team? Does he want to be around these guys?

Speaker 1 (41:22):
The Jason Smithson with Mike Carmon live from the TIREC
dot Com studios. So if that just shows you just
the difference between Williams and Jaden Daniels of the rest
of the quarterbacks taken right outside the top two, because
clearly those are the two guys I want the pick
I like the most and I like the match, and
this is the guy I would take out of the
other four quarterbacks was b Nicks, And I kind of

(41:44):
liked that bon Nicks was kind of falling through the
first round of it, so I could say bos falling
and nobody knows why, Like, just like it's draft did
he run out of the room?

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Would he have done that for us once just for
giggles and have his agent chase him?

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Hey, did you see that? I need you to get
back in there. Although Draft Days kind of a tough
movie to be showing on TV now considering what's going
on with puff Dad, Like, yeah, can you show that
on TV anymore? I get take here, but just how.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
We can do it like they do the pictures in
my hallway back in my old high school and blacked
the guy out.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
There's a problem. X him out when something happens that
I mean with Ai, we can we can put a
new agent there. Sure, yeah, sure, okay, get sure we
can replace him really fast. Uh, just just have a
little bit, you know. Jonah from VEEP comes in and says,
you're not gonna believe what's happening. Now. Hey, everybody's to
get scared off of Bow. No one knows why Bow
is falling through. The first route bon Nix to the
Broncos is perfect for the longest leading up to the draft.

(42:39):
When I was looking at who fits where, I read
a lot of Bonnicks to the Broncos. But you know
that could have been a smoke sing because when you're
picking that low that smoke screen time, it's okay, does
do they really like Bonnicks? Do They're not? Sometimes it's real,
Sometimes it isn't. And you could tell obviously that that
love was there and for him to get picked there
is not only do I like bow Knicks in his

(43:01):
skill set, but I love that he's now with a
quarterback friendly coach and there may be no more quarterback
friendly coach outside of Andy Reid in the NFL in
the last twenty years than Sean Payton, which again tells
you about Russell Wilson. But you know, mel Kiper was
talking about bow Knicks. He kind of compared him to
Drew Brees a little bit, so, you know, Breeze's arm
strength a little bit here, but that I don't think

(43:23):
brow Knicks can be Drew Brees. But could he be
a Drew Brees light, Yeah, he can, because you know
bow Knicks. You know, he's got a lot of big strengths.
And I like what he does, and I like it
more than some of the other guys. You know. I
like that he's accurate, he's got a good arm, it's
not a great arm. He runs the offense well, he's solid.
He may need He may be a guy that the
first few games of his NFL career a little rough,

(43:46):
but then he sort of gets it and he turns
into a pretty good quarterback. Now, is he gonna be
a big franchise Fantasy thirty five touchdown a year guy? No,
probably not. Will he be a good enough quarterback and
he make enough players with his arm? Yeah? You saw
it did Oregon and this this kid's come really far,
because when he was at Auburn, I said, wow, he
went from being the one of the big quarterbacks of
the future.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Too.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
He's not even gonna start there. Then he goes to
transfers to Oregon, and all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
it's a match made in Heaven for me. Right. So
it tells you about guys and they transfer at quarterback
in college that hey, sometimes you know, if they look
really bad doesn't mean they're bad. But this match of
him there in Denver, where they had just spent so
much money on Russell Wilson, it didn't work. They're starting over.
Denver is absolutely the bottom of the barrel. They've already

(44:27):
moved on from a couple of guys. Bo Nicks is
gonna have time to grow into this role. It's not
gonna be worth throwing you in and expecting you to
compete right away and win. It's hey, you're gonna get in.
You're gonna get a lot of the reps. Maybe you
don't start right away. Maybe it's Jared sin him for
a little while, and then and then and then we
get to maybe Zach Wilson starts. But eventually you're gonna
be the guy. You're gonna play a lot this year
because first round picks have to play, and he's gonna

(44:48):
get time to grow into the role. And it may
be a little bit of time. And Sean Payton's gonna
I don't know how many times you're gonna say, trust me,
trust me, trust me. But you know he signed off
on that pick one hundred and fifty percent, so all
that bow Nick's love. You know, Sean Payton said, I
can win with that guy. If he's there, let's get him.
I can win with him.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
I think he fits in a million ways. You talk
about the Breeze comparisons have done some Sunday shows with
Jeff Schwartz, obviously a proud Oregon Duck, talking about it
and his breakdowns, and you know, one of the things
we talked about a couple of weeks ago was the
the idea that Nicks was kind of a dink and dunk,
you know, just short intermediate passing attack without much of

(45:30):
the arm strength and aptitude to get it down and
fit it into spots. And there's plenty of evidence to
the contrary. And you have a guy like Sean Payton
who's gonna take out some of those hitches in your
decision making. Right, it's gonna get sped up. And we've
seen it right in small sample sizes, and not to

(45:50):
the same degree of breeze. I mean that would be foolhardy.
And yes, it has been a while since he's won.
But you talk about a rejuvenation. You bring a guy
in that had the accolades that he did, You have
a good wide receiving group. You haven't gotten rid of
Sutton yet. That's still one of those things to watch
for day two. They say they're not going to, but
you've got a decent receiving cord there, and you know, offensively,

(46:15):
even in its worst terms with Russell Wilson, they still
put some points upon the board when things clicked, once
they got right, once they got the timing right. And yes,
again it shows how much they really wanted to get
rid of Russell's.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
I mean everything, are we ever going to do a
story where it doesn't We can't look back and say,

get rid of Russell Wilson.

Speaker 3 (46:38):

What else is there that it was that bad? Did
you see D'Angel Russell tonight didn't score against the Nuggets?
Does Denver have that kind of performance if Russell Wilson
is still the quarterback of the Broncos. No, I think
you can credit getting rid of him with what the
Nuggets did to the Lakers tonight.

Their ability in second half adjustments all ties back the abdication.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
That's how bad they wist his contract. Michael Malone saying,
we would have never beaten up three nothing against the
Lakers if we still had Russell Wilson on the brock.
Our guys would be thinking about it a lot.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
No, we would really weigh down on them in the
playoffs if they were still wondering who was shepherding our
beloved Broncos this coming season.
