say toute. Yeah. You guyssee shots when flights are going during the
super Bowl and they have those shotson social media where it's like ninety nine

of the movie like her and MatthewMcConaughey, and nobody knows it with the
sass that you just dispabed. Yes, I do tell you, Wedding Planner

movie that Jay Love's in that Ithought was ever remotely good. There's no
way you like that. Selena AllTimer I never saw. Yeah, I
heard she was good in that.That's good. No, I'm telling you

you better have the television cameras readywhen we have wheat night at Bernie's Wednesday,
this happens. And I know you'regonna want to interview him, so
we'll see you're gonna want him onyour tu Look, I've had I don't
(04:48):
know what. Two weeks I justreally struggling to sleep. Took a just
a pile of melawtnin about four daysago. Yeah. Yeah, you're supposed
to take like five or ten milligrams. I just basically took a handful like
they were gummy bears. And Ineed to be out, like if exactly
if somebody wants me, they'd belike, he's committee, he's got me,
he's there melatonin. Anyway, thisis I know people's dreams stories are
(05:12):
the worst. I'm gonna make thisten seconds. About four or five nights
ago, I had a dream thatI ran into Terry Kaiser, like on
a beach somewhere, and it waslike, dude, you're gonna be at
the weekend at Bernie's thing in likeJuly with the power Trip. And he
couldn't have been a bigger dick.I'm like, I'm just saying, no,
I'm a fan, I'm gonna meetyou in July, and he was
like, I don't care, andhe walked away, and I was panicking
(05:33):
at the resort trying to find youguys, going, guys, we got
to call this off. Terry's ajerk. That's how I spent my night.
My sleep was Terry Kaiser big timingme and us panicking, trying to
call off the Saints. Spit,what do I do? Well, I'll
tell you this. So you tookenough melotone in that you might kill somebody
(05:56):
and you're gonna end it, andthen you dreamt about a dead guy.
I dreamt a Terry Kaiser treated meice cold, and then I didn't want
to do the same. Spit.Now here's the other thing. And I
wasn't in your dream. Well,I was looking for you. I was
trying to We moved resorts and Idid the Simpson The second you turned around.
We loved we saw you talking toTerry Kaiser. We were so embarrassed.
(06:19):
I was so excited to meet him. God and melatonin, Yeah,
yeah, CBD is better, yes, yeah, I agree, wait way,
but yeah, nature is ambient thanthan CBD. But that uh,
that melotonin and then any sort ofniquill title l PM can't cannot do it
(06:41):
too trippy, it's way too trippy. I think the hangover the next day
is yeah the worst. Yeah,I just I don't dream now if I
don't take melatonin actively. Of course, they say, obviously you dream every
night I don't actively dream though,unless I take melotone. Say you dream
every night? Everybody one hundred percent? Yeah, everybody dreams every night.
You just don't. You just rememberyou can't die in your dream? Where
else you die in real life?What do you That is fact? That's
(07:08):
not true. I'm not lying abouta year ago, I had a dream
where I fell to my death.But you can't die. You woke up
before you hit the ground. Ihit the ground, Yes, I hit
the ground then, and I thoughtto myself, that's it. Is this
it I'm dead, and then Iwill then will I did wake up?
(07:31):
So you can't be sure that yousuch a lie. It's not a Tommy
thinks there's rules to dream. Thereis. It's like a scientific fact.
Am I talk to Terry on abeach because I know you can't die in
your dreams? I think I don'tdream share not scientific? Is? It
says here that you can die indreams and death and dreams is really about
(07:55):
some kind of change or ending you'redealing with in your real life. It
also says if you are dreaming,if you're dreaming in that you're speaking to
somebodey and they're not responding or they'rebeing a dick to you. That's because
you're a douchebag. God. Itwas a way better explanation than Tommy's Okay
(08:20):
you can't Okay, I'm done.No, it's just this is the hill
you're gonna die on. You evergot I thought this is like from fourth
grade. I've thought this my home. I've gotten massive arguments about this.
You argued about this in fourth grade. Yeah, well he was a senior,
brilliant. I'm reading a scientific articleright now to see if if I
(08:45):
can find I can't confirm nor deny, because I think if you wake up,
then you don't know if you diedor not. Right. How many
how many lucid dreams have you guyshad where you can where you know that
you're dreaming and you can contry roll. Only a handful I've had that.
Yeah, there was a Yeah,there was a stretch for it was like
almost every night. No. Yeah, they're terrifying, really, they're terrifying.
(09:07):
Yeah, I really remember like twoin my life. Now, that
was the coolest about sleep paralysis.I think saucy. Oh yeah, that's
talking about where you're you find youhave the awareness you're like oh, I'm
dreaming, and then you can startcontrolling what you're doing. Yeah, I've
had really bad sleep paralysis. Yeah, that's the worst, terrible, that's
terrifying. Yeah, was p Didiinvolved? Oh? Good point? Is
(09:28):
there a worst feeling when you're dreaming, when you have that moment of like,
oh, I'm I'm asleep. Thisis fantastic. Now I know I
can make choices. And then youwake up and you're just like, God,
no, put me back in there. I no, I haven't used
again. Let me go. IfI'm superman, I can do whatever I
want. I gotta get back in. And of course then you're tossing and
(09:48):
turn in for an hour and ahalf trying to get and then you're you're
never getting back in. Then whenyou fall asleep, you don't have power
anymore, and you're done the worst, and you're like, what am I
gonna do with this thing? Now? This thing that was dreaming? You
you're kind of awake and you canlie to yourself that you're sleeping is make
it up in your head? Andwow, that's called daydreaming, Tommy thinking,
(10:16):
that's called thank god, this isthe final thing. You know,
what one more thing about this.Uh, I'm glad I played the news
sounder because we didn't do any newsat all, but at least a sponsored
I mentioned. Well, we talkedabout weekend at Bernie, which is Wednesdays
at the University of Minnesota. Itook some class I can remember which one
(10:37):
it was, and we did thisthing ben where if you draw like a
spot or something on your hand andyou leave it on there, and every
now and again, when you lookat it and notice there's like a black
dot in your hand, you remindyourself, oh yeah, I'm awake.
Okay, Eventually, when you're sleepingand you're dreaming, you'll look at your
hand in your dream and realize there'sno spot there, and that will trigger
the idea that you are not.So that's probably why Christopher Nolan used those
(11:01):
things in inception, right, likeif the top falls over, then you
know it's exactly right. So itdid not work for me, but apparently
it can work if you put adot on your hand and just look at
it. You don't have to consciouslydo it. If you just see it
during the day say oh yeah,I'm awake, or just have a birthmark
and keep looking at it. Thatcould be it too interesting? Yeah,
so that's the way that you canmaybe fall into a lucid dream. Exactly.
(11:22):
You're saying, that's what That's whatthe idea was, that you can
make yourself have lucid dreams if youdid that. So give it a shot.
Mann. You can't hurt nothing,right, Yeah, greasy? I
like that. I'm gonna try thatnext time I pull on have a lucid
dream. I just have to remindmyself google Carrie Russell's address so I know
exactly where to go. Maybe justput her name on your hand. Here
you go. I have it onmy hand most of the day anyway.
(11:45):
Yeah, well it usually gets rubbedoff. Okay, just I hope she
doesn't. Good. I'm gonna haveto tell her. Look, I'm controlling
this dream. You ain't going toSubway for my entire life for this moment.
Don't eat a bunch of mayo beforewe start make it out? That
gross Tommy, what the hell out? You gotta go, dude, have
(12:09):
the best time in Vega. Whosebachelor party is this? Jake Merkle,
Yeah, he's getting married in abouta month. Passed away, Jak Thomas.
Yeah. No. Questions asked ifyou need bail, just text me.
I'll give you, guys a call. Is it a merkle like a
move is a murkin? Is asa fake? Uh patch of hair?
(12:33):
I'm sure Jake will love you,love you. Yeah, all right,
you're the best. Bye bye,all right, Saustudent Sports when we get
back, and then the Power Tripmock Draft starts in about fifteen minutes on
That's f fan Hey Morning Show,second twenty one. All right, one
(13:01):
segment away from the beginning of itall, the sixty nineteen year old NFL
mock draft on the Paltrip. BenLever's here. The experts are starting to
assemble. Tommy just left that luckystun of a bitch. Yeah, let
me tell you right now, it'snever been more appropriate than this. The
juice. He is gone, andhe is all juiced up. He is,
(13:22):
He's ready to go. It's theVegas mentality. Pre Vegas is the
happiest a human being can be.Absolutely right, Yeah, absolutely right.
I would. I would probably agreewith that. You guys love Vegas way
more than I do. But Ilove I love the idea of the pre
Vegas excitement. Yeah, when youland in Vegas, do you guys,
I'll tell you a secret. AndI think I even told you guys this
(13:43):
when we were going to Vegas thisyear. I wasn't that excited until we
were walking through the airport in Vegas. Yeah, and I was like,
I am suddenly so excited. Ican't take it. Yep. You can
smell the you can smell the andspretzels right around the corner there at that
terminal. Then you go down thebig escalators, yeah, to your point,
to the tram to go to thebaggage claim and you say, this
(14:03):
is going to be the best fourdays of my life. And that,
to your point, lasts about twentymone. It lasted less than that for
me because I'd already lost four thousanddollars before I got my baggage back.
Happens, and that might not bean understated It's time for Fan five on
the Power Trip, presented by AllAround Property Preservations Awesome Around, Thank You.
The Minnesota Twins have now won threestraight games after they beat the White
(14:28):
Sox six to three. The Twinsscored four in the first two innings and
then they never looked back. TheTwins will look for a sweep today and
a four game winning streak. SimeonWoods Richardson goes for your Twins. That
is Twins News, brought to youby Quantum Fiber. The White Socks are
currently three and twenty one. Yeah, they're the worst. Are they the
(14:52):
worst team in Major League Baseball?Yeah? By oh, by far?
Yeah? And they are on paceto be the worst team of all time
if they can keep this streak,they are. They are the worst team
in baseball by three games. TheRockies have six wins and the Miami Marlins
also have the Rackies. So howthe Iraies? How does that happen?
Though? Are they intentionally trying totank? Is this one of those things
(15:13):
like let's just have a bad seasonand be bad for this year and get
the number one pick? I waslike, or it just happened? Like
let me even paying attention to theWhite Sox probably both, I mean,
just such a clown show. Theyare at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
starting tomorrow. The Twins right onegame again against the White Sox today,
So you have a three game setat the Angels, then you go to
(15:33):
the White Sox for three more Soif the Twins want to get back in
this, yeah, get the fourgames sweep. Today do we gotta do
against the Angels? And you getto go play the White Sox again?
Yeah, and then we get ourguys healthy back and we get our lineup
to just like shake out the wayit's supposed to. We'll be fine.
Guys will be fine. Rosie byRosie. H morning, Rosie, you
(15:54):
batch a lot of baseball on yourday. How bad are the White Sox?
They might be the worst team I'veever seen in Major League Baseball.
I'm not kidding. I mean,I've watched the last couple, you know,
not every inning because it's it's impossibleto watch them, but they have
guys that just really it's disrespectful todouble A teams and single A teams.
I don't know what they were thinking. No one's going to go to their
(16:17):
ballpark this year. They always incompetition with the Cubs, and now they're
really, how do you how doyou are You're so bad at this part
of the season and we're still inApril. They still they don't they don't
want to show up to the ballpark. They're in April and they're like,
this season, yeah, man,it's historical. It could be as biblically
bad as common las to call it, but it's it's it's dreadful. Hey
(16:38):
rose yesterday or on Monday. AlShaver passed away, amazing legendary north Star's
voice. Yeah, he was kindof before all the games were televised,
and I'm looking at Zach right now, and you know he was our voice
to kind of go to sleep.And they were playing in the West Coast
and we've listened to Al Shaver andobviously started out as a team lessing to
(17:00):
him. And then when I gotyou know, got to work in the
same business and getting to know theman. What a gentle, wonderful human
being. And uh, just youknow, his descriptions of the north Stars,
good and bad, he wasn't afraidto criticize him, were well he's
he's Al Shaver. And uh lovedlove walking up those steps at the old
(17:21):
Chicago Stadium where they had no elevatorand he'd take you like an hour to
get up to the stuff of thesteps. But he was he was a
beauty and uh and he and TomReid of course had a great relationship over
the years in Louis and everybody else. But he was a special man.
A great announcer. Uh and Uh, I was a pleasure to know him,
well said, Yes, my lifewhile lived. That's a good run.
(17:42):
It was retired in Vancouver and obviouslythe press box is named after him
at the X. And just youknow, anyone who grew up with Al
Shaver knows that voice, that's forsure. Uh. Naz Reid Maxell won
sixth Man of the Year. He'sthe first Wolf to ever win the award.
Yeah, he's so deserving of it. And I'm looking at Hawk right
(18:03):
now. I mean he's so emotional, like his hands are in his face
right now. He's so emotional becausehe just loves Nasri's journey. I was
so pleased to find out he playedfor us for your friend, your friend,
Yeah, my friend find that out. That's good man, that's awesome.
I mean, did you guys seethe picture of the country guy what's
(18:23):
his name, Tim MCGRAWA. Youknow who gave him that flag? Haley?
Haley Haley handed it to him onstage. She died. Oh no.
It was a close vote too.With nas they say a part of
the basketball expression was not a slamdunk CLO three forty two. The only
difference was two first place votes fornas Over, good for him. The
(18:48):
Wolves will battle the Suns tomorrow inPhoenix at nine to thirty. Pregame starts
right here at nine, right hereon the fan. They are currently plus
three and a half, depending onwhat's sportsbook you look at, Yeah,
tomorrow's I mean, you could reallyjust officially break the Suns back with a
three to zero lead tomorrow. Andthe thing about the Suns is, obviously,
(19:08):
outside of their Big three just goingcrazy, which they have the potential
to do, obviously, they don'thave a lot of strategic moves that they
can make. They are one ofthe least deep teams in all of the
NBA, especially in this playoff run. So it's either their big three all
drops twenty plus or they go arethey going to be done? Pretty much?
(19:30):
But then go down three zero.So they will still have moves that
they can make, but there's nota lot the Suns can do outside of
hero ball, especially with the statusof Grayson Allen. Right, his ankle
looked really bad the other night,and if you can't push off that ankle,
and he's the only legitimate, reallyconsistently three point shorter that they have
Without Grayson Allen, they don't havea point guard. They don't really have
anyone that can take his spot sowell and Max the way I understand it,
(19:55):
aren't they saying that the Suns themselvesare just starting to show their age
a little bit. And it's it'shard to say, hey, guys,
freshen up and just be more athleticon Friday night. Yeah, he just
can't become more athletic. You justcan't find youthful legs, especially in the
playoffs after a long season. Soif we can continue to play where the
way we're playing, with the tenacitythat we have and the energy that we
(20:15):
have, there's no way they canmatch the energy. No, they're they're
they're relying on a thirty five yearold that's been playing in the NBA since
he was like twenty to be theirhero basically, because Devin Booker has almost
nothing for the Wolves and he's shownthat throughout the regular season in the postseason,
so it's it's either Kevin Durant,Bradley Beal do something or that's that's
about it. That's all that theygot right now. And like Rosie said,
(20:37):
no Grace and Allen, he's thebest three point shooter in the league
this year. So I mean again, I respect the Sun's three top end
players, three top twenty five players. They're definitely liable to get one.
But I honestly think the Wolves havea realistic chance out a switep in here,
and they're basically in a standing eightcount right, you just they're they're
they're wobdily. Just knock him outone more. Think about how the Skills
(21:00):
were tipped in their favor before thisseries started. Everyone was looking at Phoenix
going, man, they just smokedthe Wolves by fifteen at home. They've
beaten him by fifteen at least everytime they've played him this year. Oh,
I don't know if the Wolves canget out of the first round.
It would be just a disaster ifthey couldn't. Blah blah, And all
of a sudden, here we areon the verge of taking a three to
zero lead. They can win thetomorrow and in Phoenix. Who do you?
(21:22):
But all that matters, hogs Daddyis Today is draft day, the
mock draft for the Power Trips.Right after this, it's the absolute best
draft day. Whales Sauce. Alittle over an hour ago, your lovely
wife, Kelly tweeted, Oh yeah, as Paul walked out of the house
today, I could hear him saying, I'm jacked to the tees the tea
word, I'm jack to the tees. Where's my Dark Star hat? I
(21:45):
said? All of that said,she stands by all that I stand.
This is I'm Jack to the tees? Where's my Dark Star hat? A
I got up at three forty five? Isn't it earlier than normal? Yeah?
I get a four four oh five. This is Dark Star's actual hat.
(22:07):
My dad bought it at the uhrush. What's the sale after somebody
the estate sales? It's my luckyhat and I've got my Ale's breakfast sweatshired
on. I'm jack to the t's. Here's what I like about her tweet,
though, just very subtly. Shedoesn't say Paul said this to me,
She said. I could hear Paulsaying, which means you said it
to yourself. Thousand percent. Iwas talking. You're just talking to yourself.
(22:30):
I'm Jack to the d's. Where'smy next star? You were in
the front of the mirror and you'relike adjusted your hat. You're like,
I'm Jack to the t's. Boy. I walked out of the bathroom,
walked through our bedroom, walk throughour living room, and I just said,
I'm jack to the tea words,where's my dark star hat? And
I couldn't find it because it's mylucky hat and I need it today for
the one billion time. Kelly isa saint. Yes, she deserves all
(22:53):
of the awards versus Kevin McAllister.Yeah. Correct, I've never said I'm
Peter Pan. I've never had togrow up, and I'm very look up
when you get up in the morning, especially if you get up at three
forty five, which, by theway, I love how you looked at
Corey when you, like, Igo, is that normally when you wake
up you looked like Corey? Like, yeah, I get up like at
four four or five if as ifCorey is your alarm clock or something,
(23:15):
I don't know. I don't know. I'm still sleeping at that point,
dreaming about Murray, I like lookingfor it. So you get up up
three forty five, a little earlierthan normal today and you're just fine.
You just wake up your lovely wifelike she no, no, she was.
Sometimes in the middle of the nightwe have to switch beds because we
have a large dog that sleeps inthe middle of the whinny. Yeah,
(23:38):
so one of us normally in themiddle of the night leaves and yeah,
I just had that bag packed sincethe day. Yeah. I walked out.
She said, Happy draft Day,which was wonderful, and then I
started talking to myself. She said, Happy draft Day. Here's my lawyer's
number. This is my dad's dumbYeah. He took her side. Of
(24:00):
course. My guess is when youwalk out of the house and you're talking
to yourself and you say, I'mJack to the tas, where's my dark
star hat? My guess is shejust steers into the darkness for about three
hours. Oh yeah, asks herselfa lot of questions. Yeah, she
said, remember when I used tosay something else about Jack and ts.
She loves me, Darren. Itpop the power Trip, mock draft,
Yeah, hockey, my Pep's drafthouse is next. It is next.

kiper Junior, but they're hamsters thatare more accurate than mel kiper Junior.
I don't think I say it alot. Hey, can we do one
(25:36):
thing with Charge before we move on? Can you play this SoundBite that we're
all debating. In Charge himself cansay whether it's his voice or PA's voice.
I will if you admit that nobody'sdebating it. But like two people,
it is weird. Here we go. It's this could be. This
could be the end of the debate. Correct if charge says that's me or
that's not me, this could beit. Oh good, that's not me.

of a sickness. It's been asickness for decades. So yeah, no,
I'm fired up. This is theweirdest draft in a long time for
the Viking. Yes, because there'sso many really brutal decisions to make.
Yes, Well, let's see whichone they make tonight. Ben Leber is
here. Hi, Benjamin Leber,Good morning, guys. And I'm going
(27:30):
to treat this like the initials game, where I'm going to shout out a
potential sponsor, and it's not asponsor, it's just a thank you.
I brought on cheesecake for a body. If you guys don't see that,
those cheesecakes out there for everybody inthis room plus everybody here in this building.
It's from my friend Vanessa at CheesecakeFunk. Oh so we have We've
got we've got peanut butter, we'vegot fresh blueberry, and we have espresso.
(27:51):
So please help yourself after you makeyour selection. You're part of the
broadcast tonight, and I'm a yes. I will be at us Bank Stadium,
which I heard is going to bepacked packed, sold out, is
going to be just thousands of Vikingsfans. Oh yeah, crazy, So
I cannot wait. Mark Rosen ishere. You might remember him from Channel
four. Yeah, I'm looking forwardto it. I'll be over the US
(28:12):
Bank as well, kind of documentingI think what Ben just talked about,
maybe some fans reaction. I'll postsome stuff on social media, and of
course send everyone over to the fanto listen to our great broadcast tonight to
the in depth analysis of what's goingto happen. And many drafts as I've
covered, I can't recall one that'shad more anticipation, more angst, more
(28:33):
handwringing than this one for Viking fansbecause it's there's so much on the line,
and yet everything will be determined tonight, and nothing will be determined tonight
because I think they have their startingquarterback for the opening game already in tow,
so that'll be fun. Max ishere and his Titans have a top
ten pick, So what perfect timingfor Max? Amongst all these draft experts,
(28:56):
I kind of feel like two kidsstanding on each other's shoulders with a
trench co pretending to be an adult. But I'm honored to be a part
of the draft. Well, youare the star of the Timberwolves coverage on
the Kfan Radio Network here, sowe thank you for also lending your expert
knowledge to the NFL Draft. You'rewelcome, Brother meets as Paul Lambert is
here. This is his Christmas.Just a handful of hours ago, he
(29:18):
said, I'm Jack to the teas. Where's my Dark Star hat? A?
I found my dark Star hat andAl Stilson yep, yep, AI
found it, and I'm still Jackto the tea words. This is the
best day of the year. Ilove every second of this. I can't
wait. Let's hope the Vikings canfind themselves at quarterback and if they don't,
I think all hell fire will raindown the head Cheese himself from in
(29:41):
the Zone, Packers preview and more. Dave Sindekonndave, Hey, guys,
just great to be here. It'salways fun to follow a team that drafts
quarterbacks when they're not desperate to draftquarterbacks. So I'm going to enjoy the
show. Okay, never mind andthe other room over there, Paul Charging,
We've already talked to you. Charge. Thanks for joining again. As
all. I'm glad to be here. I'll be playing the role of the
(30:03):
Patriots Colds and Steelers Patriots pretty criticalto this mock draft and all drafts.
Eric nord Quiz is back there.Nordo from nine to noon joins the Power
Trip Mock Draft or the I don'tknow Billion, and of course the great
Paul Allen will be joining us aswell. Now here's the thing, guys,
As always in the sixty ninth AanielPowertrip Mock Draft, no trades,
(30:26):
right, Okay, that's number oneand number two, PA will be picking
for the Vikes. Now here's howit will go. PA will pick for
the Vikes both times. PA willpick according to how our draft goes,
and he'll also tell us what hethinks will really happen, so we'll get
a little reality thrown in there aswell. And then of course we'll all
discuss what we think is really goingto happen. But again, PA is
(30:47):
going to pick according to how it'sgoing according to us, and then give
us this reality break. Got it? Everybody? Got it? We do
this. Welcome to the sixty nineannual Power Trip NFL Mock Draft. The
first pick is the Chicago Bears.This is the pick that they got because
of the Carolina Panthers completely sucking withBryce Young, So the Bears have pick
(31:14):
number one, and we are givingthat pick to Ben Lever. Hi Ben,
Good morning, everybody. Thank youSauce for giving me the most boring
pick of this whole draft. Butyou know it's fine. Somebody has to
make this selection, so I'm happyto kick this whole thing off. And
as much as I you know,we have to kind of weigh the options
here, like who's the best quarterbackand all this other stuff, and we
all know they're going to take CalebWilliams. I really want to desperately take
(31:37):
Jayden Daniels just because I don't loveCaleb's personality. I think it is going
to be a problem. But there'sno there's no denying his physical traits and
what he can do as a pocketpasser with that rocket arm, and also
the way he can create next stemsand plays. So I am going to
select Caleb Williams. You brought upthe one thing that we think mentioned about
(32:00):
a week ago that everybody's worried about. It. Maybe Drake May is going
to be a bust. Maybe JJMcCarthy's going to be a bus Almost no
one's talking about the obvious that there'sno guarantee for Stanla Williams at all.
Yeah, and it all is betweenthe ears for him. I think he
has all the physical talent I mean, and I think that when you when
you watch him on film, hehas a lot more talent inside the pocket
(32:20):
than people want to give him creditfor. And he's addressed that as well.
He's like, look, man,I'm I'm more than just a guy
that can run around and escape andmake some plays with my legs. I'm
actually a pretty good pocket passer.And the tape will tell you that.
I just think that, you know, there there are just some personality quirks
and traits that I think are questionable. And let's see that if he can
(32:42):
be the leader of a of abillion dollar franchise that's you know, hoping
to have a lake front stadium withhis face on it, what do you
think, charge Ben? You doyou worry at all about the entitlement?
I mean, that's the word thatgets tagged to him a lot, because
he's been the big man on campusand he's he's had, you know,
he's been expected to be the firstoverall player taken now for like three years
(33:04):
in this draft, and a lotof people worry that Caleb will Williams has
an entitlement issue. What do youthink? Yeah, I think I think
that's all legit arguments. And youknow, I know that he was a
younger player, but how much doyou how much do you weigh the fact
that he couldn't beat out Spencer Rattlerat Oklahoma. He instead of instead of
using that as motivation, be like, you know what, I'm gonna You
(33:27):
know, I'm gonna beat this guyout. I'm gonna do this, and
that I'm going to come back evenstronger. He's just like, now I'm
packing my bags and leaving, youknow. And and I know that he
ends up in a great situation withhis former coach as his new head coach
and USC, but I don't know. The thing is like I think we
we magnify it because it's the startingquarterback and it's Caleb Williams. But that
is the life we live now withcollege athletes. Like if you don't like
(33:50):
something, then I'm just I'm justgoing to take a long and go home
and I'm just gonna leave. Sothat that argument, that argument could be
made for a lot of guys.It's just I think we we over evaluate
it when it's a guy like Caleb, along with all the other things that
I think have kind of popped upwith him. Speaking of meet Sass,
you have the second selection, CalebWilliams off the board. He goes to
the Chicago Bears. Washington on theclock pick number two. The Washington Commanders
(34:13):
have probably, next to the Bears, the second easiest pick in this draft,
and I'm going to give them JadenDaniels because I like a guy who
goes on a four person meeting whenthe Commanders bring all those quarterbacks in and
throws a fit because it's not abouthim. So Jaden Daniels is my kind
of guy. He dominated at LSU, threw forty touchdowns, he ran for
ten. He's a dynamite player.He will be very good with Washington as
(34:37):
long as they can put an offensiveline around him. And I know they've
got some decent receivers charts, butJaden Daniels is the number two pick to
the Washington Commanders, potentially more upsidethan Caleb Williams has. If it all
comes together for Jaden Daniels, youget the amazing deep ball and the mobility
that is really hard to find inone person, the escapability, the big
plays the solid fundamentals. There's alot to like about Jade and Daniels,
(35:00):
and I think that's the likely selectionthat Washington will make tonight. Can I
ask you guys, as somebody who'snot as familiar as you guys are with
these players, just watching them,the eye test tells me he's better than
Caleb? What what do people?I know? That's why I'm like,
if if I really, if Itruly am am acting like the Chicago Bears
and like, I don't know,they've already overplayed their hand. They already
(35:21):
everybody knows they're gonna take Cayleb.But I would have, you know,
come down to the very end andsay, like it's a toss up between
these two, like there's no guaranteethat we're taking Caleb, because I think
you really have to consider Jaden andwhat he's done. And before I passed
the mic on, everybody wants totalk about Jayden and what he can do
as a creator. He had ahistoric year last year. His passer rating
when he was a passer set thehighest mark in college football ever for interceptions,
(35:45):
yes four, So don't sleep onhim as an actual passer. One
other thing too, because you guystalk about their abilities and personality traits.
Of course, I'm interested in thegambling part of this. Remember about a
week go Sauce, Drake May andJayden Daniels were pretty close for that second
overall pick. The numbers were startingto kind of shrink and get pushed together.
(36:07):
Now, as of draft morning,Jadeen Daniels the heavy favorite to go
with pick number two minus one thousandon Draftking, so one to ten.
Basically, that's a a virtual lock. Reg Daniels is skinny, He's a
slight player. If he gets hita lot, he's very likely to get
hurt. I think there's some comparisonto Kyler Murray here the facts, but
(36:30):
I think he's smarter than Kyler Murrayis. But you know, there's people
this is the problem with this draft. There's people who think that he's the
second best guy. There's people whothink Drake May is the second best guy.
There's people who think JJ McCarthy's thesecond best guy. There's no there's
not a ton of consensus here.I think Corey's betting angle is probably as
good as any, but it's reallyhard to say this guy is better than
(36:51):
that guy and who's better than thatguy? Unless you're on the power Trip
mock draft and we're the ex exactlycorrect, speaking of experts, Charge,
you're on the clock. I amNew England's quasi general manager, Elliott Wolf.
My team needs look like this afteryears of ruinous drafts by the worst
general manager in the history of theNFL, Bill Belichick. My team needs
(37:12):
are all the Vikings fans would likethe Patriots front office to take the position
that they should trade this pick toMinnesota and give up on solving their own
quarterback problem to conveniently help the Vikings. That is not going to happen.
We are going to get our quarterbackand then we'll find we'll build around him
in subsequent drafts, not the otherway around. Look at Houston last year
(37:34):
as an example. Get your quarterbackwhen you have the opportunity and you're at
the top of the draft. We'regonna do that here. We're gonna take
Drake May. Drake May is thedraft Kings favorite as well minus two forty.
JJ McCarthy second at plus one ninetyto go char Wingland. I love
charge pick. I thought it wasI had a lot of insight. We
love the fact that he overcame alot of obstacles on his own offense,
(37:58):
including a terrible offensive line, widereceivers that didn't get opened very often.
Love the mobility, keeps his eyesdownfield on broken plays. I like the
processing. I like the strength fundamentalsare good people ding him for a slow
release, and that he misses someeasy throws. The slow release does worry
me a little bit, but I'llwork through easy throws. I mean,
if that's what I have to overcomewith my quarterback, is getting him to
(38:21):
make the easy throws, I'll workwith that. That's a challenge accepted charge.
How many teams are going to beringing that phone of the Patriots in
those ten minutes that they have tomake that selection to try to pry that
pick out of their grasp. Iknow it's a contrarian viewpoint, but I
just I think most teams know thatthe price to move to get him is
going to be too high, andI don't think there's going to be a
(38:43):
lot of action here. And doyou think the Patriots are going to hold
that pick? Yeah? And Ilike the fact that you're supporting the idea
that I had to as well,is that if you've got a quarterback,
You're in the draft at number three, and it is a quarterback heavy draft.
Why wait, right, Why gambleand wait and trade down and wait
till next year, and like,hold on, we got to build all
the pieces around you before we getthe quarterback. I hope they go the
(39:07):
way that you're thinking as well aslike the get just get the quarterback,
and then we have a bunch ofdraft picks still this year, and we
can still build next year through freeagency and the draft. It might be
a little bit of a process,but get the quarterback now. Caleb Williams
one, Jaden Daniels to Drake Maythree. That brings pick four the Arizona
Cardinals and greg Sweedburg and their phoneis ring too, and there's people wanting
(39:30):
this pick. The Giants have beentrying to fake interest in this pick.
I don't think the Giants really haveinteresting I think the Giants want to pick
a wide receiver Mark correct and they'dreally like to have the Vikings trade into
here to pick up a quarterback,so they're guaranteed one of the two good
receivers. But since we're not tradingpicks here, and again, the whole
point of this draft is trading,right. That's that's really what's going to
(39:52):
be important tonight. The easy pickhere is probably the real best player in
the draft, Marvin Harrison Junior.The Cardinals need a wide receiver. He's
I mean, it's been mocked andit's so funny all the pre draft steam
people when trying to downgrade this guy. You can't. He's too good.
And for the Vikings fans who keepssaying, well, let's just trade Justin
(40:13):
Jefferson to Arizona for this pick,why would Arizona do that? Because you're
gonna get a player every bit asgood as Justin Jefferson. Then you're get
it for five years and the idea, and then you don't have to pay
him thirty two million dollars. SoVikings fans calm down on trading JJ for
this pick, because it's a stupidtake charge. This is the probable pick
(40:34):
Marvin Harrison. If it's not him, some people think the league neighbors will
go here, but I think Greg'sreally hit it on the head. This
is a team that desperately needs widereceivers and you've got what looks like in
generational talent in Marvin Harrison maybe thebest prospect to come out in a decade
at the position. Some people thinkhe's the single best player in this draft,
and in fact, a lot ofpeople do. League Neighbors is going
(40:55):
to go here. You should beton it because on DraftKings, Harrison's minus
two fifty heavy favorite, Neighbors twentyto one to go forth. Yeah.
Wow. I really think it comesdown to personal preference. You as a
team, you as an offense.Do you do you want a six to
three receiver? Do you value thatmore than a six foot receiver? Do
you like suddenness and start and stopthat would be more like Malik Neighbors.
(41:19):
Do you like more of a guythat can go down the field with vertical
threat? I mean, I thinkthe guys, both those guys are going
to be great. I know peopleare gonna nitpick at certain attributes, but
they're two different types of players.And but I agree I think that he
is. He is a top ofthe draft as far as best available overall,
and this is going to be ahome run selection for them. Pick
number five is the Los Angeles Chargersof Anaheim and Eric Nord Quiz from nine
(41:45):
to noon. Good morning, gentlemen, fantastic Happy Draft Day. By the
way, this is amazing, andI must say this Hawk as a hat
guy, I rarely see you withoutYou look terrific without a hat on this
morning, so I absolutely love that. Thank you the Chargers here. So
whether it's DraftKings, it's FanDuel.A lot of people have them trying to
(42:05):
upgrade Apple Valley, Minnesota's finest TreyPipkins, but in an off season of
shedding offensive talent, replacing them withhis brother John Harbaughs leftovers in Gus Edwards
and JK. Dobbins. They're gonnamake a splash here with the right with
the new head coach, and they'regoing to take now Marvin Harrison Junior,
(42:25):
he's gone. They're going to takewide receiver Malik Neighbors LSU and get somebody
for other than Josh Palmer and whathas so far proven to be a mediocre
receiver in Quinton Johnston. They're gonnagive mister Herbert somebody to throw and score
some points with. So a chargebefore we go to you quickly. This
is the first one that would goagainst DraftKings, but not by a bunch.
(42:46):
JC Latham is the favorite at plustwo seventy five. Neighbors is fifth
most likely at plus three fifty,so pretty close. But to charge,
sorry Nordo's point charge. I knowthey have a lot of offensive line options
at pick five year, but hegoes with the wide receiver. What do
you think of mylik neighbor is goingto Jim Harbaugh. I think this is
the right pick and the offensive line. Remember the Charges have gone offensive line
(43:09):
in the first round last year andthe year before. You know, I
don't think they're going with another offensiveline. And it's granted, Jim Harbaugh
loves his offensive lines, but Ijust the need is not nearly as severe
as the need is a wide receiver. Now, granted, they put a
first round or into a wide receiverlast year, Quentin Johnson. He looks
like a great a bust. Sothat's a position. It's a position of
(43:30):
need, and the next best playeron the board is myliite Neighbors. I
don't think that's gonna happen, butif it does, all of a sudden,
now the Giants are in the JJMcCarthy business, they have to at
least think about it this day becausethe two good receivers are gone. Well,
Roma Doonsay is a monster as well. I mean it's one, A,
one B one. See, he'sthat good there. There's hot runners
that the Cardinals may really like aDounesay, and that's why they might trade
(43:52):
down that they could get a Dunesayat eight or nine. Pick six is
the New York Giants Dave Sitikin.Well, this is a on pick all
of a sudden. We'd like tomake the theme of this pick the apology
segment. We want to apologize JJMcCarthy for bringing him in twice for meetings
and show that we loved him.We want to apologize to the Viking fan
base for freaking you out to makeyou think that we want a quarterback.
(44:14):
At the bottom line is our ownershipsaid, wait, you just paid Daniel
Jones forty million last year and hegot hurt, and now you're going to
just throw him to the curb,and you brought in Drew Lock and you
got the Italian stallion. No,no, you can wait a year on
a quarterback. Why don't you giveDaniel Jones a chance to be somebody,
to be a contender. We reallywanted the league neighbors. We thought he
would be there, but we willtake the consolation prize. A Larry Fitzgerald
(44:37):
clone, a captain, a physicalpresence, a guy that's going to win
the fifty to fifty ball, achampion in your locker room. We are
thrilled to add Roma Donzey to theGiants football team this evening, right,
George Giants d wide receiver as well, and Roma Dunsay is a totally valid
selection here. Love that he isa physical beast who wins all those contested
(44:59):
catches, the elite tracking skills,all the big plays on tape. It's
there's a lot to love about Romadonsay. You know, this is a team
that needs a lot of things.They could go tight end, they need
one now. They they could gooffensive line. They've been struggling to get
an offensive line going going for adecade. But Romadonsay makes a ton of
sense. No problem with that selectionby Sinny. And if the draft falls
like this, where it goes WilliamsDaniels May and then those three wide receivers
(45:22):
in a row. You look atseven through ten, that's the four teams
ahead of the Vikings, Titans,Falcons, Bears, and Jets. Unless
the Jets troll Aaron Rodgers and takea backup quarterback right in JJ McCarthy to
back him up. It's actually asmart play. But but if which they
could, they could but the rightBut those four teams don't need a quarterback
(45:44):
unless those teams trade out of there, right, So you could have a
McCarthy fall to eleven if nobody tradesup. But the Broncos are lurking to
for sure. In the Railers,there's teams that want to move, teams
below the Vikes that are very interested. Yep, you have to say what
you had a think about moving upinto correct field? Yates drafted ESPN basically
says this is where the Likes willtrade into. Is this reign? Seven,
(46:07):
eight, nine, ten, gotit? More of the Power Trip
mock draft after this on the fan
Welcome back. You should see thelooks on the faces in the main studio
right now as they prepare for theNFL mock draft, these sixty ninth Annuel
Power Trip bock Draft less than ahalf hour away. Thomas is here,
Ben is here. Thomas, areyou stick around for the Power Trip NFL?
This is my last segment here,so I know you are. Yeah,
(00:35):
figure out a lot of stuff.Yeah, correct that bid job before
we go to Vegas. Here's theworst I'd like the busiest day ever,
like and think trying to like actuallydo one test today seems like the hardest
thing in the world. And youknow what makes it easier? What's that?
What time is your plight? Sixthirty? So one of he's something
cool. So my my buddy,he's like obsessed with the bacons, like
(00:55):
obsessed the and uh interesting. We'reall sitting in the same row across the
six deep and the flight takes offat six thirty, so we're watching the
draft together on the delta flight.That's the way to be hammerk. That's
what I have so many drink voltureson the old delta that point, dude,
you're gonna your your phone out becausemy guess is this is a Minneapolis
(01:17):
flight right going to Vegas. There'sgonna be a lot of Vikings fans probably
flight. Can you imagine the momentthat either the trade is announced or the
quarterback? Yah, the whole planeexplodes. Not that I mean in celebration
should we scold slods and celebrations celebration? Should we scold Champ? But it's
gonna be the whole plane is goingto be watching the draft. Watch So
(01:45):
I'll have like hangover or something andI've been watching the draft. I'm gonna
guess that you will probably impersonate MartinMoys to you. You'll to everybody on
the plane and nobody will know whatyou're doing. Yeah, They'll they'll just
say toute. Yeah. You guyssee shots when flights are going during the
super Bowl and they have those shotson social media where it's like ninety nine
(02:08):
percent super Bowl and like one guy'swatching Maide in Manhattan talk how to lose
a guy in ten days? You'relike, what are you doing? Put
the super Bowl on you? Jackasked, made Manhattan phenomenal so good?
Just stop it is that? Yeah, I don't know. You tell me
all time film, All Time film. It's top top all your top ten.

Nobody knows that, I'm telling you. And they dance at the end
of the movie like her and MatthewMcConaughey, and nobody knows it with the
sass that you just dispabed. Yes, I do tell you, Wedding Planner
(03:19):
is an all time I'm not exaggerating. I don't think I can name one
movie that Jay Love's in that Ithought was ever remotely good. There's no
way you like that. Selena AllTimer I never saw. Yeah, I
heard she was good in that.That's good. No, I'm telling you
she's a phenomenal actor. Okay,enough enough when she's like a badass mom.
(03:40):
Great, I have no idea.I actually that was good. That's
good. That's that's the most recentfilm that she was in, right,
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, gee, hawk loved that. Yeah
that's Isn't that like the worst filmof all time? No, that's misreported?

(07:31):
So you can't be sure that yousuch a lie. It's not a Tommy
thinks there's rules to dream. Thereis. It's like a scientific fact.
Am I talk to Terry on abeach because I know you can't die in
your dreams? I think I don'tdream share not scientific? Is? It
says here that you can die indreams and death and dreams is really about
(07:55):
some kind of change or ending you'redealing with in your real life. It
also says if you are dreaming,if you're dreaming in that you're speaking to
somebodey and they're not responding or they'rebeing a dick to you. That's because
you're a douchebag. God. Itwas a way better explanation than Tommy's Okay
(08:20):
you can't Okay, I'm done.No, it's just this is the hill
you're gonna die on. You evergot I thought this is like from fourth
grade. I've thought this my home. I've gotten massive arguments about this.
You argued about this in fourth grade. Yeah, well he was a senior,
brilliant. I'm reading a scientific articleright now to see if if I
(08:45):
can find I can't confirm nor deny, because I think if you wake up,
then you don't know if you diedor not. Right. How many
how many lucid dreams have you guyshad where you can where you know that
you're dreaming and you can contry roll. Only a handful I've had that.
Yeah, there was a Yeah,there was a stretch for it was like
almost every night. No. Yeah, they're terrifying, really, they're terrifying.
(09:07):
Yeah, I really remember like twoin my life. Now, that
was the coolest about sleep paralysis.I think saucy. Oh yeah, that's
talking about where you're you find youhave the awareness you're like oh, I'm
dreaming, and then you can startcontrolling what you're doing. Yeah, I've
had really bad sleep paralysis. Yeah, that's the worst, terrible, that's
terrifying. Yeah, was p Didiinvolved? Oh? Good point? Is
(09:28):
there a worst feeling when you're dreaming, when you have that moment of like,
oh, I'm I'm asleep. Thisis fantastic. Now I know I
can make choices. And then youwake up and you're just like, God,
no, put me back in there. I no, I haven't used
again. Let me go. IfI'm superman, I can do whatever I
want. I gotta get back in. And of course then you're tossing and
(09:48):
turn in for an hour and ahalf trying to get and then you're you're
never getting back in. Then whenyou fall asleep, you don't have power
anymore, and you're done the worst, and you're like, what am I
gonna do with this thing? Now? This thing that was dreaming? You
you're kind of awake and you canlie to yourself that you're sleeping is make
it up in your head? Andwow, that's called daydreaming, Tommy thinking,
(10:16):
that's called thank god, this isthe final thing. You know,
what one more thing about this.Uh, I'm glad I played the news
sounder because we didn't do any newsat all, but at least a sponsored
I mentioned. Well, we talkedabout weekend at Bernie, which is Wednesdays
at the University of Minnesota. Itook some class I can remember which one
(10:37):
it was, and we did thisthing ben where if you draw like a
spot or something on your hand andyou leave it on there, and every
now and again, when you lookat it and notice there's like a black
dot in your hand, you remindyourself, oh yeah, I'm awake.
Okay, Eventually, when you're sleepingand you're dreaming, you'll look at your
hand in your dream and realize there'sno spot there, and that will trigger
the idea that you are not.So that's probably why Christopher Nolan used those
(11:01):
things in inception, right, likeif the top falls over, then you
know it's exactly right. So itdid not work for me, but apparently
it can work if you put adot on your hand and just look at
it. You don't have to consciouslydo it. If you just see it
during the day say oh yeah,I'm awake, or just have a birthmark
and keep looking at it. Thatcould be it too interesting? Yeah,
so that's the way that you canmaybe fall into a lucid dream. Exactly.
(11:22):
You're saying, that's what That's whatthe idea was, that you can
make yourself have lucid dreams if youdid that. So give it a shot.
Mann. You can't hurt nothing,right, Yeah, greasy? I
like that. I'm gonna try thatnext time I pull on have a lucid
dream. I just have to remindmyself google Carrie Russell's address so I know
exactly where to go. Maybe justput her name on your hand. Here
you go. I have it onmy hand most of the day anyway.
(11:45):
Yeah, well it usually gets rubbedoff. Okay, just I hope she
doesn't. Good. I'm gonna haveto tell her. Look, I'm controlling
this dream. You ain't going toSubway for my entire life for this moment.
Don't eat a bunch of mayo beforewe start make it out? That
gross Tommy, what the hell out? You gotta go, dude, have
(12:09):
the best time in Vega. Whosebachelor party is this? Jake Merkle,
Yeah, he's getting married in abouta month. Passed away, Jak Thomas.
Yeah. No. Questions asked ifyou need bail, just text me.
I'll give you, guys a call. Is it a merkle like a
move is a murkin? Is asa fake? Uh patch of hair?
(12:33):
I'm sure Jake will love you,love you. Yeah, all right,
you're the best. Bye bye,all right, Saustudent Sports when we get
back, and then the Power Tripmock Draft starts in about fifteen minutes on
That's f fan Hey Morning Show,second twenty one. All right, one
(13:01):
segment away from the beginning of itall, the sixty nineteen year old NFL
mock draft on the Paltrip. BenLever's here. The experts are starting to
assemble. Tommy just left that luckystun of a bitch. Yeah, let
me tell you right now, it'snever been more appropriate than this. The
juice. He is gone, andhe is all juiced up. He is,
(13:22):
He's ready to go. It's theVegas mentality. Pre Vegas is the
happiest a human being can be.Absolutely right, Yeah, absolutely right.
I would. I would probably agreewith that. You guys love Vegas way
more than I do. But Ilove I love the idea of the pre
Vegas excitement. Yeah, when youland in Vegas, do you guys,
I'll tell you a secret. AndI think I even told you guys this
(13:43):
when we were going to Vegas thisyear. I wasn't that excited until we
were walking through the airport in Vegas. Yeah, and I was like,
I am suddenly so excited. Ican't take it. Yep. You can
smell the you can smell the andspretzels right around the corner there at that
terminal. Then you go down thebig escalators, yeah, to your point,
to the tram to go to thebaggage claim and you say, this
(14:03):
is going to be the best fourdays of my life. And that,
to your point, lasts about twentymone. It lasted less than that for
me because I'd already lost four thousanddollars before I got my baggage back.
Happens, and that might not bean understated It's time for Fan five on
the Power Trip, presented by AllAround Property Preservations Awesome Around, Thank You.
The Minnesota Twins have now won threestraight games after they beat the White
(14:28):
Sox six to three. The Twinsscored four in the first two innings and
then they never looked back. TheTwins will look for a sweep today and
a four game winning streak. SimeonWoods Richardson goes for your Twins. That
is Twins News, brought to youby Quantum Fiber. The White Socks are
currently three and twenty one. Yeah, they're the worst. Are they the
(14:52):
worst team in Major League Baseball?Yeah? By oh, by far?
Yeah? And they are on paceto be the worst team of all time
if they can keep this streak,they are. They are the worst team
in baseball by three games. TheRockies have six wins and the Miami Marlins
also have the Rackies. So howthe Iraies? How does that happen?
Though? Are they intentionally trying totank? Is this one of those things
(15:13):
like let's just have a bad seasonand be bad for this year and get
the number one pick? I waslike, or it just happened? Like
let me even paying attention to theWhite Sox probably both, I mean,
just such a clown show. Theyare at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
starting tomorrow. The Twins right onegame again against the White Sox today,
So you have a three game setat the Angels, then you go to
(15:33):
the White Sox for three more Soif the Twins want to get back in
this, yeah, get the fourgames sweep. Today do we gotta do
against the Angels? And you getto go play the White Sox again?
Yeah, and then we get ourguys healthy back and we get our lineup
to just like shake out the wayit's supposed to. We'll be fine.
Guys will be fine. Rosie byRosie. H morning, Rosie, you
(15:54):
batch a lot of baseball on yourday. How bad are the White Sox?
They might be the worst team I'veever seen in Major League Baseball.
I'm not kidding. I mean,I've watched the last couple, you know,
not every inning because it's it's impossibleto watch them, but they have
guys that just really it's disrespectful todouble A teams and single A teams.
I don't know what they were thinking. No one's going to go to their
(16:17):
ballpark this year. They always incompetition with the Cubs, and now they're
really, how do you how doyou are You're so bad at this part
of the season and we're still inApril. They still they don't they don't
want to show up to the ballpark. They're in April and they're like,
this season, yeah, man,it's historical. It could be as biblically
bad as common las to call it, but it's it's it's dreadful. Hey
(16:38):
rose yesterday or on Monday. AlShaver passed away, amazing legendary north Star's
voice. Yeah, he was kindof before all the games were televised,
and I'm looking at Zach right now, and you know he was our voice
to kind of go to sleep.And they were playing in the West Coast
and we've listened to Al Shaver andobviously started out as a team lessing to
(17:00):
him. And then when I gotyou know, got to work in the
same business and getting to know theman. What a gentle, wonderful human
being. And uh, just youknow, his descriptions of the north Stars,
good and bad, he wasn't afraidto criticize him, were well he's
he's Al Shaver. And uh lovedlove walking up those steps at the old
(17:21):
Chicago Stadium where they had no elevatorand he'd take you like an hour to
get up to the stuff of thesteps. But he was he was a
beauty and uh and he and TomReid of course had a great relationship over
the years in Louis and everybody else. But he was a special man.
A great announcer. Uh and Uh, I was a pleasure to know him,
well said, Yes, my lifewhile lived. That's a good run.
(17:42):
It was retired in Vancouver and obviouslythe press box is named after him
at the X. And just youknow, anyone who grew up with Al
Shaver knows that voice, that's forsure. Uh. Naz Reid Maxell won
sixth Man of the Year. He'sthe first Wolf to ever win the award.
Yeah, he's so deserving of it. And I'm looking at Hawk right
(18:03):
now. I mean he's so emotional, like his hands are in his face
right now. He's so emotional becausehe just loves Nasri's journey. I was
so pleased to find out he playedfor us for your friend, your friend,
Yeah, my friend find that out. That's good man, that's awesome.
I mean, did you guys seethe picture of the country guy what's
(18:23):
his name, Tim MCGRAWA. Youknow who gave him that flag? Haley?
Haley Haley handed it to him onstage. She died. Oh no.
It was a close vote too.With nas they say a part of
the basketball expression was not a slamdunk CLO three forty two. The only
difference was two first place votes fornas Over, good for him. The
(18:48):
Wolves will battle the Suns tomorrow inPhoenix at nine to thirty. Pregame starts
right here at nine, right hereon the fan. They are currently plus
three and a half, depending onwhat's sportsbook you look at, Yeah,
tomorrow's I mean, you could reallyjust officially break the Suns back with a
three to zero lead tomorrow. Andthe thing about the Suns is, obviously,
(19:08):
outside of their Big three just goingcrazy, which they have the potential
to do, obviously, they don'thave a lot of strategic moves that they
can make. They are one ofthe least deep teams in all of the
NBA, especially in this playoff run. So it's either their big three all
drops twenty plus or they go arethey going to be done? Pretty much?
(19:30):
But then go down three zero.So they will still have moves that
they can make, but there's nota lot the Suns can do outside of
hero ball, especially with the statusof Grayson Allen. Right, his ankle
looked really bad the other night,and if you can't push off that ankle,
and he's the only legitimate, reallyconsistently three point shorter that they have
Without Grayson Allen, they don't havea point guard. They don't really have
anyone that can take his spot sowell and Max the way I understand it,
(19:55):
aren't they saying that the Suns themselvesare just starting to show their age
a little bit. And it's it'shard to say, hey, guys,
freshen up and just be more athleticon Friday night. Yeah, he just
can't become more athletic. You justcan't find youthful legs, especially in the
playoffs after a long season. Soif we can continue to play where the
way we're playing, with the tenacitythat we have and the energy that we
(20:15):
have, there's no way they canmatch the energy. No, they're they're
they're relying on a thirty five yearold that's been playing in the NBA since
he was like twenty to be theirhero basically, because Devin Booker has almost
nothing for the Wolves and he's shownthat throughout the regular season in the postseason,
so it's it's either Kevin Durant,Bradley Beal do something or that's that's
about it. That's all that theygot right now. And like Rosie said,
(20:37):
no Grace and Allen, he's thebest three point shooter in the league
this year. So I mean again, I respect the Sun's three top end
players, three top twenty five players. They're definitely liable to get one.
But I honestly think the Wolves havea realistic chance out a switep in here,
and they're basically in a standing eightcount right, you just they're they're
they're wobdily. Just knock him outone more. Think about how the Skills
(21:00):
were tipped in their favor before thisseries started. Everyone was looking at Phoenix
going, man, they just smokedthe Wolves by fifteen at home. They've
beaten him by fifteen at least everytime they've played him this year. Oh,
I don't know if the Wolves canget out of the first round.
It would be just a disaster ifthey couldn't. Blah blah, And all
of a sudden, here we areon the verge of taking a three to
zero lead. They can win thetomorrow and in Phoenix. Who do you?
(21:22):
But all that matters, hogs Daddyis Today is draft day, the
mock draft for the Power Trips.Right after this, it's the absolute best
draft day. Whales Sauce. Alittle over an hour ago, your lovely
wife, Kelly tweeted, Oh yeah, as Paul walked out of the house
today, I could hear him saying, I'm jacked to the tees the tea
word, I'm jack to the tees. Where's my Dark Star hat? I
(21:45):
said? All of that said,she stands by all that I stand.
This is I'm Jack to the tees? Where's my Dark Star hat? A
I got up at three forty five? Isn't it earlier than normal? Yeah?
I get a four four oh five. This is Dark Star's actual hat.
(22:07):
My dad bought it at the uhrush. What's the sale after somebody
the estate sales? It's my luckyhat and I've got my Ale's breakfast sweatshired
on. I'm jack to the t's. Here's what I like about her tweet,
though, just very subtly. Shedoesn't say Paul said this to me,
She said. I could hear Paulsaying, which means you said it
to yourself. Thousand percent. Iwas talking. You're just talking to yourself.
(22:30):
I'm Jack to the d's. Where'smy next star? You were in
the front of the mirror and you'relike adjusted your hat. You're like,
I'm Jack to the t's. Boy. I walked out of the bathroom,
walked through our bedroom, walk throughour living room, and I just said,
I'm jack to the tea words,where's my dark star hat? And
I couldn't find it because it's mylucky hat and I need it today for
the one billion time. Kelly isa saint. Yes, she deserves all
(22:53):
of the awards versus Kevin McAllister.Yeah. Correct, I've never said I'm
Peter Pan. I've never had togrow up, and I'm very look up
when you get up in the morning, especially if you get up at three
forty five, which, by theway, I love how you looked at
Corey when you, like, Igo, is that normally when you wake
up you looked like Corey? Like, yeah, I get up like at
four four or five if as ifCorey is your alarm clock or something,
(23:15):
I don't know. I don't know. I'm still sleeping at that point,
dreaming about Murray, I like lookingfor it. So you get up up
three forty five, a little earlierthan normal today and you're just fine.
You just wake up your lovely wifelike she no, no, she was.
Sometimes in the middle of the nightwe have to switch beds because we
have a large dog that sleeps inthe middle of the whinny. Yeah,
(23:38):
so one of us normally in themiddle of the night leaves and yeah,
I just had that bag packed sincethe day. Yeah. I walked out.
She said, Happy draft Day,which was wonderful, and then I
started talking to myself. She said, Happy draft Day. Here's my lawyer's
number. This is my dad's dumbYeah. He took her side. Of
(24:00):
course. My guess is when youwalk out of the house and you're talking
to yourself and you say, I'mJack to the tas, where's my dark
star hat? My guess is shejust steers into the darkness for about three
hours. Oh yeah, asks herselfa lot of questions. Yeah, she
said, remember when I used tosay something else about Jack and ts.
She loves me, Darren. Itpop the power Trip, mock draft,
Yeah, hockey, my Pep's drafthouse is next. It is next.

on Twitter, she over heard mesaying, I'm Jack to the T words,
and I'm Jack to the T words. We have an entire cast of
NFL great minds, including behind meand to my right, back into the
(25:15):
left, Paul chargin Charge, goodmorning, and yeah, you are our
resident better than mel kiper Jr.We're glad to have you. Thank you
for always being a part of her. Well, I'm more accurate than mel
kiper Junior, but they're hamsters thatare more accurate than mel kiper Junior.
I don't think I say it alot. Hey, can we do one
(25:36):
thing with Charge before we move on? Can you play this SoundBite that we're
all debating. In Charge himself cansay whether it's his voice or PA's voice.
I will if you admit that nobody'sdebating it. But like two people,
it is weird. Here we go. It's this could be. This
could be the end of the debate. Correct if charge says that's me or
that's not me, this could beit. Oh good, that's not me.
(26:00):
Of course it's not. It's notyou, that's not my voice.
Dave Sincon just goes, that's church, Church, what's happening? You don't
have headphones again? Play one moretime? Oh good, it's this isn't
the weirdest sound in the history ofthe of KFA, And I don't understand
(26:23):
why it's so polarrizing. Our ownvoices always sound weird to us, but
that doesn't sound like me to me? Oh good? I agree that good?
Oh good? Okay, Now Igotta say it just like that.
Oh good, Not like you're makinga recipe. Try to take said okay,
(26:45):
oh good, o good, ohgood. Definitely p a, Definitely.
It's settled. Now now we getto business. We have again a
giant cast of characters. Corey,would you please introduce everybody lover. Greg
Sweatberg is here. He is eventuallygoing to fall in the program passed Ford
Invitational, but for now he's pairedwith chart. Congratulations, Greg, you
(27:07):
love the NFL draft? You likefollowing this stuff? Yeah, I'm kind
of a sickness. It's been asickness for decades. So yeah, no,
I'm fired up. This is theweirdest draft in a long time for
the Viking. Yes, because there'sso many really brutal decisions to make.
Yes, Well, let's see whichone they make tonight. Ben Leber is
here. Hi, Benjamin Leber,Good morning, guys. And I'm going
(27:30):
to treat this like the initials game, where I'm going to shout out a
potential sponsor, and it's not asponsor, it's just a thank you.
I brought on cheesecake for a body. If you guys don't see that,
those cheesecakes out there for everybody inthis room plus everybody here in this building.
It's from my friend Vanessa at CheesecakeFunk. Oh so we have We've
got we've got peanut butter, we'vegot fresh blueberry, and we have espresso.
(27:51):
So please help yourself after you makeyour selection. You're part of the
broadcast tonight, and I'm a yes. I will be at us Bank Stadium,
which I heard is going to bepacked packed, sold out, is
going to be just thousands of Vikingsfans. Oh yeah, crazy, So
I cannot wait. Mark Rosen ishere. You might remember him from Channel
four. Yeah, I'm looking forwardto it. I'll be over the US
(28:12):
Bank as well, kind of documentingI think what Ben just talked about,
maybe some fans reaction. I'll postsome stuff on social media, and of
course send everyone over to the fanto listen to our great broadcast tonight to
the in depth analysis of what's goingto happen. And many drafts as I've
covered, I can't recall one that'shad more anticipation, more angst, more
(28:33):
handwringing than this one for Viking fansbecause it's there's so much on the line,
and yet everything will be determined tonight, and nothing will be determined tonight
because I think they have their startingquarterback for the opening game already in tow,
so that'll be fun. Max ishere and his Titans have a top
ten pick, So what perfect timingfor Max? Amongst all these draft experts,
(28:56):
I kind of feel like two kidsstanding on each other's shoulders with a
trench co pretending to be an adult. But I'm honored to be a part
of the draft. Well, youare the star of the Timberwolves coverage on
the Kfan Radio Network here, sowe thank you for also lending your expert
knowledge to the NFL Draft. You'rewelcome, Brother meets as Paul Lambert is
here. This is his Christmas.Just a handful of hours ago, he
(29:18):
said, I'm Jack to the teas. Where's my Dark Star hat? A?
I found my dark Star hat andAl Stilson yep, yep, AI
found it, and I'm still Jackto the tea words. This is the
best day of the year. Ilove every second of this. I can't
wait. Let's hope the Vikings canfind themselves at quarterback and if they don't,
I think all hell fire will raindown the head Cheese himself from in
(29:41):
the Zone, Packers preview and more. Dave Sindekonndave, Hey, guys,
just great to be here. It'salways fun to follow a team that drafts
quarterbacks when they're not desperate to draftquarterbacks. So I'm going to enjoy the
show. Okay, never mind andthe other room over there, Paul Charging,
We've already talked to you. Charge. Thanks for joining again. As
all. I'm glad to be here. I'll be playing the role of the
(30:03):
Patriots Colds and Steelers Patriots pretty criticalto this mock draft and all drafts.
Eric nord Quiz is back there.Nordo from nine to noon joins the Power
Trip Mock Draft or the I don'tknow Billion, and of course the great
Paul Allen will be joining us aswell. Now here's the thing, guys,
As always in the sixty ninth AanielPowertrip Mock Draft, no trades,
(30:26):
right, Okay, that's number oneand number two, PA will be picking
for the Vikes. Now here's howit will go. PA will pick for
the Vikes both times. PA willpick according to how our draft goes,
and he'll also tell us what hethinks will really happen, so we'll get
a little reality thrown in there aswell. And then of course we'll all
discuss what we think is really goingto happen. But again, PA is
(30:47):
going to pick according to how it'sgoing according to us, and then give
us this reality break. Got it? Everybody? Got it? We do
this. Welcome to the sixty nineannual Power Trip NFL Mock Draft. The
first pick is the Chicago Bears.This is the pick that they got because
of the Carolina Panthers completely sucking withBryce Young, So the Bears have pick
(31:14):
number one, and we are givingthat pick to Ben Lever. Hi Ben,
Good morning, everybody. Thank youSauce for giving me the most boring
pick of this whole draft. Butyou know it's fine. Somebody has to
make this selection, so I'm happyto kick this whole thing off. And
as much as I you know,we have to kind of weigh the options
here, like who's the best quarterbackand all this other stuff, and we
all know they're going to take CalebWilliams. I really want to desperately take
(31:37):
Jayden Daniels just because I don't loveCaleb's personality. I think it is going
to be a problem. But there'sno there's no denying his physical traits and
what he can do as a pocketpasser with that rocket arm, and also
the way he can create next stemsand plays. So I am going to
select Caleb Williams. You brought upthe one thing that we think mentioned about
(32:00):
a week ago that everybody's worried about. It. Maybe Drake May is going
to be a bust. Maybe JJMcCarthy's going to be a bus Almost no
one's talking about the obvious that there'sno guarantee for Stanla Williams at all.
Yeah, and it all is betweenthe ears for him. I think he
has all the physical talent I mean, and I think that when you when
you watch him on film, hehas a lot more talent inside the pocket
(32:20):
than people want to give him creditfor. And he's addressed that as well.
He's like, look, man,I'm I'm more than just a guy
that can run around and escape andmake some plays with my legs. I'm
actually a pretty good pocket passer.And the tape will tell you that.
I just think that, you know, there there are just some personality quirks
and traits that I think are questionable. And let's see that if he can
(32:42):
be the leader of a of abillion dollar franchise that's you know, hoping
to have a lake front stadium withhis face on it, what do you
think, charge Ben? You doyou worry at all about the entitlement?
I mean, that's the word thatgets tagged to him a lot, because
he's been the big man on campusand he's he's had, you know,
he's been expected to be the firstoverall player taken now for like three years
(33:04):
in this draft, and a lotof people worry that Caleb will Williams has
an entitlement issue. What do youthink? Yeah, I think I think
that's all legit arguments. And youknow, I know that he was a
younger player, but how much doyou how much do you weigh the fact
that he couldn't beat out Spencer Rattlerat Oklahoma. He instead of instead of
using that as motivation, be like, you know what, I'm gonna You
(33:27):
know, I'm gonna beat this guyout. I'm gonna do this, and
that I'm going to come back evenstronger. He's just like, now I'm
packing my bags and leaving, youknow. And and I know that he
ends up in a great situation withhis former coach as his new head coach
and USC, but I don't know. The thing is like I think we
we magnify it because it's the startingquarterback and it's Caleb Williams. But that
is the life we live now withcollege athletes. Like if you don't like
(33:50):
something, then I'm just I'm justgoing to take a long and go home
and I'm just gonna leave. Sothat that argument, that argument could be
made for a lot of guys.It's just I think we we over evaluate
it when it's a guy like Caleb, along with all the other things that
I think have kind of popped upwith him. Speaking of meet Sass,
you have the second selection, CalebWilliams off the board. He goes to
the Chicago Bears. Washington on theclock pick number two. The Washington Commanders
(34:13):
have probably, next to the Bears, the second easiest pick in this draft,
and I'm going to give them JadenDaniels because I like a guy who
goes on a four person meeting whenthe Commanders bring all those quarterbacks in and
throws a fit because it's not abouthim. So Jaden Daniels is my kind
of guy. He dominated at LSU, threw forty touchdowns, he ran for
ten. He's a dynamite player.He will be very good with Washington as
(34:37):
long as they can put an offensiveline around him. And I know they've
got some decent receivers charts, butJaden Daniels is the number two pick to
the Washington Commanders, potentially more upsidethan Caleb Williams has. If it all
comes together for Jaden Daniels, youget the amazing deep ball and the mobility
that is really hard to find inone person, the escapability, the big
plays the solid fundamentals. There's alot to like about Jade and Daniels,
(35:00):
and I think that's the likely selectionthat Washington will make tonight. Can I
ask you guys, as somebody who'snot as familiar as you guys are with
these players, just watching them,the eye test tells me he's better than
Caleb? What what do people?I know? That's why I'm like,
if if I really, if Itruly am am acting like the Chicago Bears
and like, I don't know,they've already overplayed their hand. They already
(35:21):
everybody knows they're gonna take Cayleb.But I would have, you know,
come down to the very end andsay, like it's a toss up between
these two, like there's no guaranteethat we're taking Caleb, because I think
you really have to consider Jaden andwhat he's done. And before I passed
the mic on, everybody wants totalk about Jayden and what he can do
as a creator. He had ahistoric year last year. His passer rating
when he was a passer set thehighest mark in college football ever for interceptions,
(35:45):
yes four, So don't sleep onhim as an actual passer. One
other thing too, because you guystalk about their abilities and personality traits.
Of course, I'm interested in thegambling part of this. Remember about a
week go Sauce, Drake May andJayden Daniels were pretty close for that second
overall pick. The numbers were startingto kind of shrink and get pushed together.
(36:07):
Now, as of draft morning,Jadeen Daniels the heavy favorite to go
with pick number two minus one thousandon Draftking, so one to ten.
Basically, that's a a virtual lock. Reg Daniels is skinny, He's a
slight player. If he gets hita lot, he's very likely to get
hurt. I think there's some comparisonto Kyler Murray here the facts, but
(36:30):
I think he's smarter than Kyler Murrayis. But you know, there's people
this is the problem with this draft. There's people who think that he's the
second best guy. There's people whothink Drake May is the second best guy.
There's people who think JJ McCarthy's thesecond best guy. There's no there's
not a ton of consensus here.I think Corey's betting angle is probably as
good as any, but it's reallyhard to say this guy is better than
(36:51):
that guy and who's better than thatguy? Unless you're on the power Trip
mock draft and we're the ex exactlycorrect, speaking of experts, Charge,
you're on the clock. I amNew England's quasi general manager, Elliott Wolf.
My team needs look like this afteryears of ruinous drafts by the worst
general manager in the history of theNFL, Bill Belichick. My team needs
(37:12):
are all the Vikings fans would likethe Patriots front office to take the position
that they should trade this pick toMinnesota and give up on solving their own
quarterback problem to conveniently help the Vikings. That is not going to happen.
We are going to get our quarterbackand then we'll find we'll build around him
in subsequent drafts, not the otherway around. Look at Houston last year
(37:34):
as an example. Get your quarterbackwhen you have the opportunity and you're at
the top of the draft. We'regonna do that here. We're gonna take
Drake May. Drake May is thedraft Kings favorite as well minus two forty.
JJ McCarthy second at plus one ninetyto go char Wingland. I love
charge pick. I thought it wasI had a lot of insight. We
love the fact that he overcame alot of obstacles on his own offense,
(37:58):
including a terrible offensive line, widereceivers that didn't get opened very often.
Love the mobility, keeps his eyesdownfield on broken plays. I like the
processing. I like the strength fundamentalsare good people ding him for a slow
release, and that he misses someeasy throws. The slow release does worry
me a little bit, but I'llwork through easy throws. I mean,
if that's what I have to overcomewith my quarterback, is getting him to
(38:21):
make the easy throws, I'll workwith that. That's a challenge accepted charge.
How many teams are going to beringing that phone of the Patriots in
those ten minutes that they have tomake that selection to try to pry that
pick out of their grasp. Iknow it's a contrarian viewpoint, but I
just I think most teams know thatthe price to move to get him is
going to be too high, andI don't think there's going to be a
(38:43):
lot of action here. And doyou think the Patriots are going to hold
that pick? Yeah? And Ilike the fact that you're supporting the idea
that I had to as well,is that if you've got a quarterback,
You're in the draft at number three, and it is a quarterback heavy draft.
Why wait, right, Why gambleand wait and trade down and wait
till next year, and like,hold on, we got to build all
the pieces around you before we getthe quarterback. I hope they go the
(39:07):
way that you're thinking as well aslike the get just get the quarterback,
and then we have a bunch ofdraft picks still this year, and we
can still build next year through freeagency and the draft. It might be
a little bit of a process,but get the quarterback now. Caleb Williams
one, Jaden Daniels to Drake Maythree. That brings pick four the Arizona
Cardinals and greg Sweedburg and their phoneis ring too, and there's people wanting
(39:30):
this pick. The Giants have beentrying to fake interest in this pick.
I don't think the Giants really haveinteresting I think the Giants want to pick
a wide receiver Mark correct and they'dreally like to have the Vikings trade into
here to pick up a quarterback,so they're guaranteed one of the two good
receivers. But since we're not tradingpicks here, and again, the whole
point of this draft is trading,right. That's that's really what's going to
(39:52):
be important tonight. The easy pickhere is probably the real best player in
the draft, Marvin Harrison Junior.The Cardinals need a wide receiver. He's
I mean, it's been mocked andit's so funny all the pre draft steam
people when trying to downgrade this guy. You can't. He's too good.
And for the Vikings fans who keepssaying, well, let's just trade Justin
(40:13):
Jefferson to Arizona for this pick,why would Arizona do that? Because you're
gonna get a player every bit asgood as Justin Jefferson. Then you're get
it for five years and the idea, and then you don't have to pay
him thirty two million dollars. SoVikings fans calm down on trading JJ for
this pick, because it's a stupidtake charge. This is the probable pick
(40:34):
Marvin Harrison. If it's not him, some people think the league neighbors will
go here, but I think Greg'sreally hit it on the head. This
is a team that desperately needs widereceivers and you've got what looks like in
generational talent in Marvin Harrison maybe thebest prospect to come out in a decade
at the position. Some people thinkhe's the single best player in this draft,
and in fact, a lot ofpeople do. League Neighbors is going
(40:55):
to go here. You should beton it because on DraftKings, Harrison's minus
two fifty heavy favorite, Neighbors twentyto one to go forth. Yeah.
Wow. I really think it comesdown to personal preference. You as a
team, you as an offense.Do you do you want a six to
three receiver? Do you value thatmore than a six foot receiver? Do
you like suddenness and start and stopthat would be more like Malik Neighbors.
(41:19):
Do you like more of a guythat can go down the field with vertical
threat? I mean, I thinkthe guys, both those guys are going
to be great. I know peopleare gonna nitpick at certain attributes, but
they're two different types of players.And but I agree I think that he
is. He is a top ofthe draft as far as best available overall,
and this is going to be ahome run selection for them. Pick
number five is the Los Angeles Chargersof Anaheim and Eric Nord Quiz from nine
(41:45):
to noon. Good morning, gentlemen, fantastic Happy Draft Day. By the
way, this is amazing, andI must say this Hawk as a hat
guy, I rarely see you withoutYou look terrific without a hat on this
morning, so I absolutely love that. Thank you the Chargers here. So
whether it's DraftKings, it's FanDuel.A lot of people have them trying to
(42:05):
upgrade Apple Valley, Minnesota's finest TreyPipkins, but in an off season of
shedding offensive talent, replacing them withhis brother John Harbaughs leftovers in Gus Edwards
and JK. Dobbins. They're gonnamake a splash here with the right with
the new head coach, and they'regoing to take now Marvin Harrison Junior,
(42:25):
he's gone. They're going to takewide receiver Malik Neighbors LSU and get somebody
for other than Josh Palmer and whathas so far proven to be a mediocre
receiver in Quinton Johnston. They're gonnagive mister Herbert somebody to throw and score
some points with. So a chargebefore we go to you quickly. This
is the first one that would goagainst DraftKings, but not by a bunch.
(42:46):
JC Latham is the favorite at plustwo seventy five. Neighbors is fifth
most likely at plus three fifty,so pretty close. But to charge,
sorry Nordo's point charge. I knowthey have a lot of offensive line options
at pick five year, but hegoes with the wide receiver. What do
you think of mylik neighbor is goingto Jim Harbaugh. I think this is
the right pick and the offensive line. Remember the Charges have gone offensive line
(43:09):
in the first round last year andthe year before. You know, I
don't think they're going with another offensiveline. And it's granted, Jim Harbaugh
loves his offensive lines, but Ijust the need is not nearly as severe
as the need is a wide receiver. Now, granted, they put a
first round or into a wide receiverlast year, Quentin Johnson. He looks
like a great a bust. Sothat's a position. It's a position of
(43:30):
need, and the next best playeron the board is myliite Neighbors. I
don't think that's gonna happen, butif it does, all of a sudden,
now the Giants are in the JJMcCarthy business, they have to at
least think about it this day becausethe two good receivers are gone. Well,
Roma Doonsay is a monster as well. I mean it's one, A,
one B one. See, he'sthat good there. There's hot runners
that the Cardinals may really like aDounesay, and that's why they might trade
(43:52):
down that they could get a Dunesayat eight or nine. Pick six is
the New York Giants Dave Sitikin.Well, this is a on pick all
of a sudden. We'd like tomake the theme of this pick the apology
segment. We want to apologize JJMcCarthy for bringing him in twice for meetings
and show that we loved him.We want to apologize to the Viking fan
base for freaking you out to makeyou think that we want a quarterback.
(44:14):
At the bottom line is our ownershipsaid, wait, you just paid Daniel
Jones forty million last year and hegot hurt, and now you're going to
just throw him to the curb,and you brought in Drew Lock and you
got the Italian stallion. No,no, you can wait a year on
a quarterback. Why don't you giveDaniel Jones a chance to be somebody,
to be a contender. We reallywanted the league neighbors. We thought he
would be there, but we willtake the consolation prize. A Larry Fitzgerald
(44:37):
clone, a captain, a physicalpresence, a guy that's going to win
the fifty to fifty ball, achampion in your locker room. We are
thrilled to add Roma Donzey to theGiants football team this evening, right,
George Giants d wide receiver as well, and Roma Dunsay is a totally valid
selection here. Love that he isa physical beast who wins all those contested
(44:59):
catches, the elite tracking skills,all the big plays on tape. It's
there's a lot to love about Romadonsay. You know, this is a team
that needs a lot of things.They could go tight end, they need
one now. They they could gooffensive line. They've been struggling to get
an offensive line going going for adecade. But Romadonsay makes a ton of
sense. No problem with that selectionby Sinny. And if the draft falls
like this, where it goes WilliamsDaniels May and then those three wide receivers
(45:22):
in a row. You look atseven through ten, that's the four teams
ahead of the Vikings, Titans,Falcons, Bears, and Jets. Unless
the Jets troll Aaron Rodgers and takea backup quarterback right in JJ McCarthy to
back him up. It's actually asmart play. But but if which they
could, they could but the rightBut those four teams don't need a quarterback
(45:44):
unless those teams trade out of there, right, So you could have a
McCarthy fall to eleven if nobody tradesup. But the Broncos are lurking to
for sure. In the Railers,there's teams that want to move, teams
below the Vikes that are very interested. Yep, you have to say what
you had a think about moving upinto correct field? Yates drafted ESPN basically
says this is where the Likes willtrade into. Is this reign? Seven,
(46:07):
eight, nine, ten, gotit? More of the Power Trip
mock draft after this on the fan
