The Fumblerooski Podcast - Reach For It -Ep 182 The Fumblerooski Podcast

Episode Date: April 28, 2023

Is it possible Houston was too bold trading up for the 3rd overall pick? How much will it hurt the Lions that they reached on both their first-round picks? Adam Wright, CJ Medeiros, and Justin Tucker host special guest Aaron Wise to discuss these topics as well as the many reaches in the first round!

Here's Edelman broken up and the pass is no sign yet. Edelman comes down with a football and they're saying it's a catch. It's in. Oh! It's in! Sideline! Touchdown! Unbelievable! well the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft has come and went, and plenty of twists and turns throughout the whole thing that we will cover. You are listening to the Fumble Rooski Podcast by Power 88 and Secret Weapon Consulting. I'm Adam Wright. As always, I'm with CJ Medeiros and Justin Tucker.

We have a lot to unpack from yesterday's draft. Wow. So first, we're going to start off with the Texans getting bold in the top end of the draft and the Lions getting even bolder with their picks and just overall first round reaches because there were a lot of them cj right and joining us to cover all of these topics we have special guest for the millionth time we have aaron wise our jet fellow jets fan who is jumping for joy after the uh air they uh traded for aaron rogers but aaron welcome back to the show yet again why don't you introduce yourself to some of our new listeners well i'm aaron wise from illinois

nice that's all you need to know and he's a jets fan and you will learn that very very quickly um all right so i wanted to start off talking about the Texans. And so they had the number two overall pick. And a lot of people were thinking, us included on our mock draft, that the Texans would pass on C.J. Stroud and take Will Levis. Well, not only has Will Levis not been drafted yet, but also they went for C.J. Stroud. They came to their senses like we wanted them to. And on top of that, it doesn't even stop there. The Texans got bold and they drafted up from their next pick, number 12, with the Cardinals and they selected at number three,

going with Will Anderson. So you can make an argument. They got not only the best offensive but defensive players in the draft with back-to-back picks. They got bold. Now, they still need a wide receiver because their wide receiving room is they're a bunch of fossils. They're old. But I would say these, I mean, I don't know what you guys think cj i'll throw it to you first actually i'll go i'll go with aaron

our uh our guests first they this has to be they have to be my winners right i mean okay so so yesterday when i saw the draft yesterday with the Texas second-order pick, some people thought they were going to draft a quarterback. I was kind of like – I mean, it wouldn't really surprise me they do draft one because Davis Mills is kind of mid. But I think the Texas got a little bit too aggressive, man. I don't think they need to do all that. I just – I don't know.

Like give all those picks. Why is that? I don't think they need to do all that I just I don't know like give all those picks why's that I don't know it's just okay it makes sense but also doesn't make sense I think it makes sense because the tickets the tickets have a lot of holes I gotta fill up because they were pretty bad but me personally I would have kept those picks just just stay in one spot, really. That's just me. Okay. CJ, was this the right move or not the right move for Houston? I believe it was. This move, moreover than getting, in my opinion, the best quarterback in the draft,

and beyond a shadow of a doubt the best defensive player in the draft, this sent a message, a message to the other teams that said, these are not the Texans of yore. These are the new look Texans, new head coach, new philosophy, new everything. They came out, they came to their senses and took C.J. Stroud, and they got the best defender in the draft in will levis i mean oh my god will anderson sorry yeesh so i'm sorry i think this is a win for

them and i am definitely gonna make the case that they won the first round yeah well our boy nick casario the former patriots g, has been nailing his picks. And all the pickups, just free agency trades, all of it. And, I mean, it showed through this draft. They got aggressive and they took the best offensive and defensive players of this draft. But, Tuck, good or bad for the Texans? I think it's good because it's a step in the right direction. I just don't know what long-term implications they have for the future.

They still haven't chosen a weapon for C.J. Stroud. They got rid of Brandon Cooks, their former weapon that they had. So I don't know how they'll look on offense. They're just going to have to rely on Damon Pierce just heavily. But I think they're taking steps in the right direction. I obviously don't think they're going to be competing right now, but in time, if they get a few more pieces later in the draft,

maybe some day to day three fixes on defense, I think they could be, it's a step in the right direction and they can build upon this next year. But obviously I don't think there'll be contenders, anything like that but i think it's a step in the right direction for what they want to be in the future yeah so it's also important to understand so when they traded with cleveland um they got three first round picks out of it so they used their they used their first from last year um they used it this year by trading it away to trade up and they have and

they traded next year's uh their own pick in order to trade up as well so they traded for two firsts in order to go from uh from 12 over to three but they still have that last first next year so they didn't give up their entire future just yet. I also believe they gave up their only second. I'm checking right now to see if they still have a day. They might have a day to pick. I don't know if they have a second anymore, but they didn't. It wasn't that bad.

It really wasn't that they didn't give up too much to trade up, which was encouraging. And they still have a first, first pick next year. So they can use that on a wide receiver. And I think we're also forgetting that they still have Dalton Schultz. They signed Dalton Schultz. They got Robert Woods, who, I mean, who knows if he has anything left. He's, he didn't seem right after that ACL tear. But they also have Noah Brown, who had a career year this past season as their wide receiver three. But it's something.

You're not moving me, Adam. You're not moving me with these names. Okay. Well, how about the fact that they have one of the better offensive lines in the league? Good young offensive line, two bookend tackles. They took a guard in the first round last year. And, you know, they have one of the better offensive lines in the league.

So I think just being able to get protection for C.J. Stroud gives them enough time to find these pieces that they have. These guys who have been, who are, most of them are have-beens, but they could be, they could bounce back if they have enough time to, if Stroud has enough time to throw to them. So I think that's important, to be able to have time to throw. The offensive line makes receivers, receivers actually believe it or not i'm not gonna if they had like a true number one i would like the pieces around him a lot more but since i don't see it like a true number one guy that they have i'm struggling to like be like

be excited for the texans like for like receivers and for the long term right now it's definitely going to be a weakness don't get me wrong and they they will definitely need to find a number one but I'm just saying like Robert Woods you Robert Woods we forget how good Robert Woods once was and Noah Brown had a very good year this past season and Dalton Schultz still has it at the tight end position so So I think they will have something over there. And they still have Damian Pierce in the backfield. They can still throw to him. I don't think they'll be, their offense will be functional. I'll say that much, but they did, they, I agree with you. They will need that wide receiver, but what would you

rather have the wide receiver or the best defensive end in the draft? The best defensive player in the draft, Will Anderson. That's good. Are you asking me if I got a true number one or I would have a DN? So Jackson Smith and Jigba or Will Anderson. Who do you take? Will Anderson. There you go. So they took the best player available, which is good. You want players on both sides. And when you have a defensive-minded head coach in D'Amico Ryans,

then that's going to help them. It's going to help them because, I mean, it's good to build up an offense, but you also want a defense to back it up. All right. So we spent some time praising the Texans or, you know, with mixed feelings about it. The Lions, though, they got bold in their own right, good or bad, for better or worse. And we'll get to that next. This is the Fumble Rooski Podcast. with a football. They're saying it's a catch. It's caught. It's a catch.

Skyline. Touchdown. Unbelievable. Swings it way down the field. The one catch. Sammy Watt takes for the touchdown. This is the Fumble Ruski podcast by Power 88 Secret Weapon Consulting. Adam Wright, Justin Tucker, CJ Medeiros, and special guest Aaron Wise.

So the Lions had two first-round picks, and we've been praising them a lot this offseason and even during the season last year. They've had a good couple of years in their rebuild. It's been pretty successful thus far. This past night was a bit of an exception. So if these picks work out, they work out. They weren't really positions of need. So their number 12 overall pick, when they traded with Arizona to get up there,

they used that pick on Alabama running back Jameer Gibbs. Now, forget the fact that he went in the first round. He went top 12, which is like he was arguably a day two pick. And he went top 12 which is like we we he he was arguably a day two pick yeah and he went top 12 on top of that with their other first round pick it was 18 right yes yes 18 just making sure um they took a linebacker jack campbell now if he was a late round first a late first round draft pick then that would make sense but jack campbell a linebacker out of iowa those just seem like reaches and they weren't real that it wasn't that big of a need for them. I mean, they kind of need linebacker, but they have the 34th pick in the draft in round two.

Why didn't they address it there? That just seemed like a problem. But the Lions are still in good shape, but I don't know what you guys thought about it. I understand why they took Jameer Gibbs and Jack Campbell. I don't understand why they took them where they took them. Apparently, if you read reports about Jameer Gibbs, he's getting comparisons to Alvin Kamara and Christian McCaffrey.

That's where I was like, okay, I see why people took him where they took him. And judging by that Detroit offense, I think he's going to get a lot of touches, number one. And number two, DeAndre Swift will barely touch the field. That's the way I see it going. And as far as Jack Campbell, I believe he'll help the defense, obviously. I think he's a tremendous talent. But I wouldn't have taken him with the 18th overall pick.

I would have traded back if that's the player that I wanted, if I'm Detroit. I think they'll both be helpful, but I'm not sure that they'll match up to the player that I wanted, if I'm Detroit. I think they'll both be helpful, but I'm not sure that they'll match up to the value that they've been picked at. Yeah, I mean, listen, Jameer Gibbs is going to be a good player. But I've always just been firmly against running backs going in the first round at all. I barely even had Bijan Robinson going in the first. I mean, we did at number eight. That's what I'm saying, but I don't agree with it.

I would have liked Bijan Robinson in the first round. It would have been an exception if he went to the right team and towards the end of the draft. I feel like Bijan Robinson to Buffalo is a match made in heaven. They need their running game to get going, and they have a late first-round pick. That's one of their last pieces to the puzzle because that offense starts to slow down in the months of December because they play in the cold weather of Buffalo,

so it would make sense. But they... Jameer Gibbs at 12. And I'm sorry, if you didn't go running back in the first round for Detroit, it wouldn't have been the end of the world. Even if they just didn't go running back at all. You still have David Montgomery, and you still have DeAndre Swift.

So you're kind of fine at that position. You didn't need Jameer Gibbs. What you needed was some other pieces on defense, namely on that interior defensive line. Yeah. Honestly, they should not have traded back with the sixth pick. They should not have done that. They should have held onto it and drafted Jalen Carterter that would have been the better pick for them i thought it

was a slam dunk but another reach which is why the the nfl draft is a complete crapshoot and um yes we did get only one pick right in the top 10 so that was actually two because there was uh bijan robinson who went eight just like we thought but it doesn't mean we agree with it still a stupid pick they should have taken smith and jigba but um cj give me uh what are your thoughts i want to start with a report from tom pelissero who said the Lions confirmed that they quote would have been comfortable selecting Jameer Gibbs at their original selection of number six yeah they traded back to 12 to get Gibbs and so yeah Tom Pelissero confirmed that Detroit still would have taken Gibbs at number six. Now, I mean, at least they traded back.

Imagine if they took Gibbs at six. If they took over Bijan Robinson, it would have broken the internet. It would have broken the internet. Because I actually kind of agree with Bijan Robinson going in the first round. Granted, not that late. But Jameer Gibbs, not only going in the first round. Granted, not that late. But Jameer Gibbs, not only going in the first round, but going before Robinson. Oh, my God. That would have been insane.

But, Aaron, do you have any other thoughts before we move on here? All right. I just got some thoughts on the line situation. So this Jameer Gibbs guy, whatever, I think personally why they picked him is because I heard that there's teams around the NFL, they're engaging trade talks with the – what is his name? Sidney Swift. I forgot his name.

DeAndre Swift. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, him. Yeah, him. I heard there's some trade talks with him. So maybe it all could work out if they could get rid of him or something like that. But also, too, I do agree. I personally wanted Jeff running back in the first round. I would just wait in the later rounds to get running back, to be honest.

I mean, Ramondre Stevenson was taken in the first round, and he's been awesome for New England. Yeah. Fourth round. I meant to say fourth. Oh, oh, oh. Andre Stevenson was taken in the fourth round, and he worked out pretty well. Better than Sonny Michel, who was taken in the first round. So just saying.

Yeah, yeah. He's a talent in the later rounds with running backs. For example, like Kamara, Christian McCaffrey, just to name those guys. Yeah, yeah. You know, like they kind of proved that you don't need to find – it's not find – that you don't need to draft running backs in the first round. Like on like Saquon Barkley. That was insane though.

McCaffrey went round one, by the way. Oh, round one? Oh, okay. McCaffrey went round one, by the way. Oh, round one? Oh, okay. McCaffrey went round one, yeah. And I believe – well, Kamara didn't go round one. He went round three, which is still fairly early. I mean, it's kind of early. It's not bad.

That's not bad. It's acceptable taking a running back with a day two pick, taking him fourth overall like a Saquon Barkley or a Leonard Fournette or a Ezekiel Elliottnette or a uh uh ezekiel elliott bit of a reach yeah fournette fournette kind of burned out pretty fast to be honest because now because i eat just slow yeah but yeah but yeah that's all i got there yeah not not huge on running backs going early jameameer Gibbs was a huge reach. Jack Campbell would have been fine if they took him later.

Maybe if they traded back and they decided, we just want Campbell, that would have been fine. But you took him 18th, which was just really, really odd. All right, so we kind of talked about some reaches with the Lions picks alone, but it was kind of an issue throughout the entire draft. In fact, so much so that there were players who still haven't been picked yet, who should have been picked yesterday and they will probably,

their names will probably be called in the second round. We're going to get to that next. This is the f is no sign yet. Edelman comes down with a football. They're saying it's a catch. It's a catch. It's caught! It's a catch! Skyline!

Touchdown! Unbelievable! Swings it way down the field to Watkins! Sammy Watkins for the touchdown! Welcome back to the Fumble Rooski Podcast. Adam Wright, Justin Tucker, CJ Medeiros, special guest Aaron Wise. So, as I mentioned when I teased this segment, first round reaches were a problem. So much so that there are players

whose names were supposed to be called last night are probably going to be called tonight. Because teams just decided to get too cute. And now CJ, our draft guy over here, wanted to run point on this segment. So please, CJ, the floor is yours. Now, Adam and Justin and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the first round. And, oh, my God, if you could have seen our faces for some of these picks, this was insane. So we all know about the Lions, so we're not going to touch on them.

All right? I think we can all agree on that. We're also not going to touch on the Falcons or B. John Robinson because, you know, that's actually something we predicted. But the Chicago Bears doing a pick swap with Philly. So they're going back to number 10, right? The Bears took Darnell Wright, the offensive tackle from Tennessee. Now, I know it fills a need, but with Peter Skowronski and Broderick Jones on the board,

you go Darnell Wright in the top 10? I'm sorry. On the high side, that's a C-plus pick. And Aaron, you might want to look away because we might have to talk about your Jets. At 15, they got edge rusher Will McDonald from Iowa State. I don't think I even saw him going in that high, let alone in the first round in any mock draft that I saw towards the end. And I for sure didn't see it coming.

We didn't see it coming. I didn't even have a first-round grade on him. I had like an early to late second first round grade on him i had like a early to late second round grade on him it's just with all due respect i feel like that was a panic pick for the jets because i think they wanted broderick jones but new england traded back with pittsburgh and pittsburgh leapfrogged the jets to take jones so but if the Jets, why don't you just trade back? Also, 13, we have Green Bay getting Lucas Van Ness with Jackson Smith and Jigba on the board. You know, you need a receiver. So, of course, they go defense. Well, Jordan Love, you are officially getting the Aaron

Rodgers treatment. And then I will give a brief shout out here to the Washington commanders taking Mississippi State corner Emmanuel Forbes. That fills a need, but arguably the best corner in the draft, I said arguably, Christian Gonzalez went one pick later to New England. Why did you take Forbes over Gonzalez? And then Tampa getting Kalijah Cancy. That's strange, especially with Brian Breesy on the board. And the Cowboys getting Mozzie Smith, the defensive tackle from Michigan. Huge reach. And then we're going to end with pick number 31.

The Kansas City Chiefs, your Super Bowl champions, take Felix and Adike Uzama from Kansas State? If you really want to get an edge rusher and you're that close to the second round, why not get B.J. Ojolari? I just – I guess that's why I'm not a GM. I just don't understand half of these picks. Also, Jalen Hyatt was available and – Josh Downs.

And Josh Downs. And Josh Downs. And wide receiver was a need for Kansas City. I'm not saying draft Jalen Hyatt if he wasn't going to go in the first round, but at least trade back with the pick and go on day two with it, and you get an extra asset and your guy Jalen Hyatt. That part just didn't make sense to me. Yeah, and as a result, we've seen quite a few good players fall out of the first, even though we're not high on them.

Will Levis, he was projected to go in the first round. Joey Porter Jr., Michael Mayer, Darnell Washington, Cam Smith. Huh. Interesting. That's all I have to say about that What do you guys think? I forget, who took Miles Murphy? The Bengals

Wait, I got one thing What's up? So did the Ravens get Zay Flowers? Yes we did Okay, okay, okay Here's one thing about Zayn Flowers. I'm glad the Ravens got Zayn Flowers because I ain't going to

Kansas City, man, because my holes was working out with them, and I don't like the Chiefs, man. So I'm glad they didn't get him. Can I give you one thought on the Patriots here? Listen, I'm not... Listen, I'm not not gonna say I don't love what happened where they

were able to get Christian McCaffer uh Christian Gonzalez in fact I am so it's I am so shaken that the Patriots that a player fell to the Patriots and they actually took that player that fell to them. Usually they just trade back and they do something dumb, like take a tackle or a guard, something like that, even though that would have worked out if they took that. But listen, the fact that we are calling it an A++ move, that they took a guy who they should take is a little bit of a problem the fact that bill didn't do something stupid is a little like of course you need to take him and also i between between christian gonzalez the more i've let this marinate the more i believe this

between christian gonz Smith and Jigba. Listen, they've been fine at cornerback, no matter what they do. And they have found, they have found late round gems. They have gotten guys in signings, trades, all the whole nine yards. So I kind of trust Bill Belichick in that sense to the point where I don't believe you really need to take a corner that early. And honestly, I would have taken Jackson Smith and Jigba. I think that's a bigger need for them. And if they took him, it would have made a little more sense because Bill struggles with the wide receiver position. And if you take the sure thing at wide receiver, you get Mac Jones' weapon,

and you're going to be fine at the defensive back position because you always are. And it's Bill. He's a defensive guy. He always figures it out. I know in Bill, we trust has kind of lost a lot of its, of its, uh, uh, luster in the past few years, blanking on was blanking on the name there, but on the defensive side, I do trust him there. I do trust him, especially in the secondary. He's been doing a marvelous job there. Go back in the past 10 years even. First, you had Devin McCourty. Then you had Aqib Talib. Then you brought in Rivas for a year. Then you had Malcolm Butler. Then you brought in Revis for a year. Then you had Malcolm Butler. Then you brought in Stephon Gilmore. Then you had J.C. Jackson.

Then you have Jack Jones. The list goes on. He always finds the number one guys. And honestly, Jack Jones and Marcus Jones, they might have something in them. Those guys might not be done developing. Hold on. Adam, first of all, let me explain something. With Bill Belichick's history of developing wide receivers,

Jackson Smith and Jigba, especially coming off a season-ending injury, is far from a sure thing. Meanwhile, Christian Gonzalez is bigger, stronger, and faster than every corner we have on the roster. Christian Gonzalez is the only corner on this team that is above six feet tall. They would have been fine. No, no, no. Would they really have been fine?

Or were the others just playing up to the competition, playing over their heads? I lean toward the second one. Jack Jones, he's had a good year. JC Jackson, he was a pretty good corner. Malcolm Butler was a pretty good corner. I mean, just the list goes on. They find these guys off the streets.

It always works out for them. And honestly, and Akut Tali... Aren't you the one that keeps saying arguments like it always works out or just always doesn't work out, not analytical? Aren't you the one that's always saying that? Just refreshing. Well, it's analytical to think that when you keep having something work out over and over again that it must be something going on there.

Well, Jason Jackson was 2019. Then we picked up Miles Bryan. And that has worked out well. How exactly? It's always worked out. Their defense has been pretty good over the past few years. It's been good. I don't – I'm not worried.

True corner one because can you see Jack Jones or Jonathan Jones or any of the Joneses matching step for step with Tyreek Hill, Stephon Diggs, Garrett Wilson? No. the joneses matching step for step with tyreek hill stefan diggs garrett wilson no you can i think you can find ways to to contain them in some way i mean no one's going i'm sorry christian gonzalez isn't doing it either yes he is we don't know that stronger and faster than digs we have we have gone past the day and age where corners can just make a make a wide receiver disappear this is a wide receivers league now they they just don't do that anymore the days of the revis island are behind us and yeah you might find very good corner or something to say about that and so does tarik woolen we might find very good corners and i'm not even saying that christian christian

gonzalez is a bad pick It's a very good pick. I just probably would have preferred they go on the offensive side of the ball because that is where Bill has struggled. That's where I want them to do that early. So you want him to continue to struggle? You keep saying that he's going to struggle, so yeah, let's just double down on that. Jackson Smith and Jigba was far from a sure thing. He literally came off a season-ending injury, and is it any wonder that he kept falling

past us the earlier you draft the more of a sure thing you you can that the player is going to be that's going that's the way it's going to work oh oh yeah i think isaiah win begs to move on isaiah win isaiah win worked out but yeah and he's not on the team now and no one else has picked him up i disagree you said you said yourself it was because he was hurt his last couple years yeah exactly and that's funny because you said it didn't matter i didn't say it didn't matter you literally did not on the show but you said it before i didn't say it didn't matter i never said that i mean literally in the car you're like oh yeah well injuries yeah i did not say injuries don't matter injuries matter i just i might have said you can't predict injuries which is true because

isaiah win worked for a few years before he got hurt a few years he didn't play his own rookie season he worked a few years before he got hurt he Yeah, he did get hurt his rookie year, but then once he got back and he was healthy, he worked out for a couple years. Did he even play a full 16, 17 games? A lot of players don't. Okay, yeah. But no, see, your argument, that's a red herring.

No, no, don't do this. Answer the question. We got to go. We got to get going. That's the most long-winded one here. All right, fine, whatever. We got to move on. You're the most long-winded one here. All right, fine, whatever. We got to move on. You're the most long-winded one here.

No, no. Yeah. Literally every viewer we've had that I've spoken to disagrees, but whatever. About what, me? Yes. Guys, either stop or I'll meet you both. All right, fine. Listen, we got to move on,

and we are going to get to Aaron Rodgers' guest segment where he is going to talk about newly acquired Aaron Rodgers and possibly the Jets expectations now that they acquired the player. That's next. This is the Fumble Rooski podcast. Here's Edelman broken up and the pass is no sign yet. Edelman comes down with a football and they're saying it's a catch. It's a catch! Oh! It's a catch! Side-line! Touchdown!

Unbelievable! This is the Fumble Rooski podcast by Power 88 and Secret Weapon Consulting. Adam Wright, Justin Tucker, CJ Medeiros, and special guest Aaron Wise. So Aaron, our guest for the How Many Times, has a guest segment where he is going to talk about his Jets and their expectations next season where they have just acquired Aaron Rodgers. So, Aaron, what do you got? Okay, so the Jets. I keep on being insane right now. We actually got expectations, you know.

So the expectation this year is make the playoffs and make it right at the Super Bowl. Like we basically got to do it because we have a top-ten defense. Our offense last year could have been better if we had, like, a functional quarterback that could throw a forward pass consistently, but that didn't work out. But, you see, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, it just seems like a dream. Like, I don't know. I'm still trying to get used to it because

I'm so used to bad quarterbacks every single year. I'm used to sucky, so I'm not used to the winning mindset now. It's taking me some time to get used to it. I did saw the restructuring contract, Van Rodgers. I think this year we're paying him

$43 million, and if he plays next year, we pay him $107 million. I don't know. The $107 million next year sounds a little bit kind of whack, but I don't know if that's 100% accurate with the $107 million, but that sounds kind of a little bit too much, especially for a 40-, 41-year-old. But I don't know. I'm pretty excited, but also, too, I also got to remind myself that we are the Jets at the end of the day.

But yeah, I think the Jets could easily win the division this year. I know it sounds crazy, but we're not going to be last place no more. I think the Patriots can be last, Miami 3, Bill second, the Jets first. I keep saying it, but I really think we can win the whole division.

I say 10 or 11 wins. To be honest, it's not a bad thing to say. I'm going first because I am. But to be honest, I think I could see the Jets winning the division. They have a top-ranked defense, and you're surrounding Aaron Rodgers with weapons. They have quality play at quarterback, and they were 6-3 at one point in time heading into Week 10.

They were a playoff-caliber team, and they gave the Bills a run for their money. So all in all, I could see them potentially making the playoffs, being successful, and then getting to the AFC championship or the Super Bowl because I think they have the pieces around them. They finally have their guy at quarterback. They finally have weapons surrounding their quarterback, and they have the defense to work with.

I think they may need a little bit more help on the O-line because I'm not sure what Makai Becton is. Hopefully he can come back around and actually be the Provo town that we actually think he is. But outside of the O-line and their struggles, I think that this team has pieces around it to actually

be a playoff caliber team. I don't think it's crazy. Yeah, yeah. I don't think it's... Oh, there's Joe. That's okay. Sorry. I definitely think this is a playoff caliber roster and i think at its full capacity they are a super bowl contending team that goes there goes tuck i think he had to go um but this at at its full potential and i say full potential heavy emphasis on that because they are the Jets, but at their best,

they could be Super Bowl contenders. It would have been nice if they took a tackle in this draft. That would have helped them a lot. But they still have the talent to contend with anyone in this division and honestly anyone in the afc as well so i think i would go that far because they just have talent everywhere you look on that team um and now they have talent at the linebacker position i guess but yeah well i'll i'll digress there but yeah you have anything else to add before we end the show tonight?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a little more. I'll just say with the pick, though, I was not a big fan of Will McDonald before. I really was not expecting that. And the Jets fans weren't really expecting it because some Jets fans are like, was this a glitch? Like, was this an accident or what? I was expecting like, I don't know, a lot of people were expecting receiver.

Some people were expecting all this tackle or like through somebody from all this line, which that's what I was expecting. I was expecting one of those. I wasn't really expecting us to draft the edge rusher. I don't know. Maybe I think the reason why the Jets might have drafted an edge rusher. I don't know. Maybe, I think the reason why the Jets drafted an edge rusher is because maybe the Jets plan on cutting Carl Lawson or somebody else

because of the contract situation because we do got to pay Quinn Williams to have Monsha contract. I think that's probably why we drafted him because he's going to be caught, because he's going to be so expensive. That's why I think why we drafted him. Other than that, That's why I think why we drafted him.

Other than that, I don't really know why we drafted him. But, yeah, I think tonight the Jets should use their second round pick and just trade back and get more picks instead of just staying in that one spot because we only got one pick tonight. So that's my thoughts on that. All right. There you go so the uh new york jets probably the most competitive they will be um in recent memory i mean they haven't made the playoffs in over a decade so we'll see how that goes but aaron thanks a lot for joining us always always a pleasure to have you, and we'll see if day two is better for us than day one,

at least for the Jets. Yeah. All right, man. Well, that'll do it for us tonight. Thank you for listening to us. We have new episodes out on Tuesdays and Fridays at 7.30 p.m. Eastern time.
