Live in Chicago, it is the Herd.

big trade today. Rams give up a first to fifth, the sixth, and a third next year to get elite corner Trent McDuffie, the big hole, as JSA said and the Seahawks, had their way with that Rams cornerback secondary group. And the Chiefs are in a competitive rebuild, not a traditional rebuild, but they get a first, a fifth, the sixth, and Kansas City with two first round picks, I think they have to address right tackle, and then probably corner. It's a good offensive tackle draft in the first two rounds, and it's a decent corner draft in the first round. So there you go. So now, this is not a traditional mock draft.

They do this every year. I do one where, you know, I try to guess what teams do. But my take is, I don't know. Nobody does. Outside of the number one pick this year, everybody knows that. So I am going to draft based on what I would do as general manager, and I think it will look mostly like the first 15 picks. I'm going to go 15 picks.

So let's start with the number one pick. That's the easiest one. The Raiders need a quarterback. Fernando Mendoza is easily the best quarterback prospect. Is he Matt Ryan Plus? Heisman winner, 16 at 0 with a non-traditional power. Big arm, moves well, humble gratitude. and you get that rookie quarterback contract for the next four to five years.

So that's the easy one. He goes number one. My second pick is a little different than everybody else's mocked. I think the Jets draft David Bailey, the best pure edge. He'll walk into the Jets. On one side, you'll have Will McDonald on the other. It's David Bail. I hear about Arvel Reese.

R. Velrease projects. as an edge rusher. I don't trust the Jets to get that right. This guy is a plug-play guy. He will be starting the first week, David Bailey from Texas Tech. He went to Stanford. Then he was on the market. Texas Tech got out the wallet. He is an immediate play day one edge rusher. Number three, Arizona. I think Arizona should call on Fernando Mendoza, but their O-line is a wreck. They have a new offensive coach. What an offensive coach is like Ben Johnson do. Solve the offensive line. Francis Maui Noah from Miami. He can play Interior or tackle. They may use him at both. The Cardinals had the 26 ranked offensive line. He has

solved and run and pass blocking an offensive coach. They've got receivers and backs and tight ends. They have got to get that O line solved whether Jacobia Broussett or rumored Jimmy Garapolo as the quarterback. Number four, Arvel Reese. Now, again, many have him at two to the Jets. I don't trust the Jets. I do trust Robert Sala to use him in maybe a little bit of a hybrid Fred Warner, Nick Boser Roll. I trust. I think he's just too talented to fall. And again, he's 6'4, 240, 4-4. Titans only had one player with more than five sacks last year. So I think he's just too talented for Robert Sala to pass on. They've got their quarterback, and they've got other needs,

but I think they go get the Ohio State Edge. Number five, Giants, this is a good pick for them. They need secondary help, Caleb Downs. Best safety in the draft. I mean, he's pretty good in coverage. You can bring him, as you see here, on blitzes like Nick Amin Worry, who went to the Seahawks, second round of South Carolina. He's a tremendous player.

John Harbaugh is going to love him. You can play him probably special teams in defense day one ranked. Giants were an atrocious team last year, 31st against the run. This kid didn't even have to perform at the Combine. He is that good. Giants who I have projected as winning their division get the number one back-end defensive player in the draft, Caleb Downs, another Buckeye. Number six, Cleveland Browns, Carnell Tate, played at Ohio State.

They're receiving cores a mess. Shadour Sanders probably get, and Shadour. Shadour Sanders capable of throwing the ball down the field, but Jerry Judy is inconsistent, drop issues, maturity issues, Carnell Tate, kind of feels like a can't-miss guy to me. I mean, I don't think there's many can't-miss guys in the draft. I can't believe, if not for Cleveland, somebody else. A lot of Buckeyes at the top. I think he walks in, Jerry, Judy, one side, Carnell Tate on the other.

They had an atroche. I mean, their leading receiver last year was a rookie tight end from Bowling Green, Carnell Tate to the Browns. Number seven, best corner in the draft is out of LSU, Mansoor Delane. I think the commanders who have many issues, they were a really bad team was Washington against the pass. He excels outside the numbers in man coverage. I mean, LSU has always been a cornerback in a wide receiver factory. Great instincts, excellent length.

Best corner in the draft for a team Washington that needs it, he goes at seven. Number eight, Tider Shuck was surprisingly good for the Saints, rookie quarterback second round pick. I think they get Jeremiah Love. He's the Jemir Gibbs of this draft, a home run hitter. I mean, Alvin Kamara is now 30 and rushed for under 500 yards. And they were not a good run team. They were near the bottom 28th in the NFL against the run.

So Love is a, again, like David Bailey at number two, he's a plug-and-play guy. put him in run game with a second year quarterback they couldn't run last year alvin kamara's aging he goes to the saints at eight number nine the chiefs who made that trent mcduffey trade with the rams today they have two first rounders i think the chiefs go and get spencer funo out of utah right tackle so they've got their left tackle they don't have a right tackle he was i mean utah has arguably two of the best tackles in the the whole draft. They were 25th and rushing, 28th in pressure. So they've got a lot of needs right now in Kansas City, but I think number one is protecting Patrick Mahomes and getting that running game going. So if love falls to them, I could see them taking love from Notre Dame. If not,

they'll go with a right tackle from Utah. Number 10, Cincinnati, my guess is they'll take a Buckeye, Sunny Stiles, who had an unbelievable combine. Trey Hendrickson's out the door. He can play, I mean, Suddy Stiles is one of those guys. He was a Combine Monster. You know, on any other team, he would have been the best player easily, but on Ohio State he's a third or fourth best player.

You know, 6'5, 245, runs a 4-4, you know, typical Buckeye elite five-star level talent. So I think he stays in state. Number 11 dolphins, Ruben Bain, I think, drops to Miami. I think they'll have some pressure to go get a guy with short arms historically,

but he's just a ball or he's a playmaker, and the Hurricane fan base is going to absolutely love this. Miami doesn't get pressure on the quarterback. They were 25th in the NFL last year in getting pressure on the quarterback. And, you know, I don't know how good Rubin Bain is with the arm issue, but I know every time I watch Miami play,

he was unblockable, a relentless player, kind of a Max Crosby engine, kind of a game changer up front. think Miami grabs him. At number 12, and I think this will be one of the early steals in the draft, the Dallas Cowboys will get Keldrick Falk from Auburn. A great character guy, just got, he was like all-S-C freshman team. He's been good for years at Auburn, very good against the run, character guy in the building. And I think they're sensitive to that in Dallas, because I think, you know, Dak Prescott, high character guy, has always been somebody that Jerry Jones liked.

Micah Parsons' view is a little into Micah. This kid is great. They need an edge rusher. He can defend the run in the pass. He's a grinder. He's a character guy. I think he goes to the Cowboys, and they get themselves a little bit of a first-round steel. Number 13, L.A. Rams, I think they go Mackay Lemon.

Now, they've got needs at tackle, but Lemon can solve two issues. Devonte Adams is 33, so he's the heir apparent to Devonte Adams. This kid is unbelievable. If he gets his hand on it, he catches it. You know, there's a lot of these recruits that don't pan out. He has been sensational and over-delivered for the Trojans. And I think between Devante Adams' age, they also want to clean up their punt returning. He's got impeccable hands, almost 100 yards per game for the Trojans.

Number 14, I think the Ravens, they're going to have to pay Lamar Jack and they got to find some guys on that offense that don't cost much. Kenyon Sadiq from Oregon, who just had the fastest 40 time ever for a tight end. He's a little undersized. But remember, Isaiah likely the Ravens Tide End is a free agent. Mark Andrews is getting older. And they were top three in the NFL in 12 personnel. They like to use multiple tight ends.

You know, the Rams do, the Ravens do. So I think the Oregon tight end who's undersized, but a little bit of a bully. He's hard match up for corners and safeties. He goes to the Ravens. And number 15, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they've got several needs. Edge rusher, among them, Texas A&M, Cassius Howell, first team All-American at Texas A&M. It is a good edge rusher draft. He is a need of which they have, you know, they have a need at corner, linebacker, edge.

they've got to rebuild that defense. So there is my first 15 draft. J. Mack, I know I don't buy the Jets are moving up to take Ty Simpson even later in the first. I think Ty Simpson goes to the Steelers later. Any big pushback on this? Okay, I was taking notes throughout. Let's start with Dallas and Falk. I like that.

But we did see a report that Jerry was interested in Max Crosby. By pegging Falk here, do you think that means they do not go after Max Crosby? Well, I think they got a lot of mouths to feed. Dax contracts top of the market. C.D. Lamb talk of the market. Franchise tag, Peckins talk of the market. By the way, the cap hit for Kenny Clark and Quinnon Williams is not going backwards. So there's a lot of mouse to feed here.

And I think it is a good edge draft. I would go in that direction. Okay, so Sonny Stiles to the Bengals, he is the toughest guy to project. People are going crazy. They've got what people are calling Combine Fever. right? So you watch the combine, you see the stats, everybody gets excited. Meanwhile, turn back the clock during the season. Sunny South, he was very good. He wasn't like top 15 as a player and you don't take linebackers

at high. The Bengals need defense. Do you go linebacker? Well, I will say this. I have both the Browns and the Bengals drafting kids that play their college football in state. Ah. That makes sense. So I could see the Bengals saying he's a Buckeye. And dolphins. Ruben Bain obviously. I could see Cincinnati doing that.

Plus, when you lose Trey Hendrickson, you know, your best athlete on defense, I think Stiles is a looks the part, you know, All-American in the hotel lobby guy who just keeps getting better, crushed it at the Combine. I mean, Combine still has some value. So I see Cincinnati,

and Carnell Tate, similarly, there's not a lot of Can't Miss guy. I can't see Carnell Tate not working in the NFL. And I think Cleveland's receiving core, Jerry Judy, one good rookie tied-in. and not much else. I think they'll give Shadur a good teammate. Okay, so two more real quick.

So actually three. So Sadiq to the Ravens. Ravens are moving off Isaiah likely. They've still got Mark Andrews. A lot of needs on defense. Absolutely. And Jesse Minter, new head coach, defensive guy, and you have them going tight end?

I think they have several needs. Yeah. And I think they like the back end of their defense. I think they kind of like their pass rush. But let's be honest, as Lamar last year did not have the same electricity. Yeah. And it's like, okay, we need more Zayflowers, Sadiq, Mark Andrews. I think you got to give, I don't think Lamar, from what I could tell last year, didn't

look like the old Lamar. He's becoming more of a pocket threat on consistent basis than a running threat. Okay. and then Rams. So they've only had one draft pick they've used in like the last 10, 10, 15. Jared Verst, who was a superstar can't miss. Would you put Lemon in that kind of category? I mean, like, so that's what, Rams are a tough one.

Puka gets dinged up a lot. That's indisputable. He's great, but gets dinged up. Adams was hurt last year as well. Now, that's why some suspect they went into so much 12 personnel. Well, because Puka was dinged up. Cooper, when he got old, he's now Ciac, he got dinged up. They have struggled, you know, keeping the same wide receiver rotation, not running back, not tight end.

And he also solves the punt returning need. That was a big problem for them, his special team. So he kind of solves two problems. And we'll wrap up with Jets. David Bailey over Reese. I was looking into Aaron Glenn, his years in Detroit, his big thing in Detroit. his big thing in Detroit, which made him famous, was we're going to go cover zero blitz. We're mixing up the blitz is confusing.

Bailey's more of just like a traditional edge rusher. Rees is that hybrid. I can play linebacker. I'm going to delay my blitz. Here I come. You don't know where I'm coming from. So that's the only reason I give Reese the slight edge. I think Reese is probably who they draft.

It's not if I was GM who I would draft because I don't trust Aaron Glenn to figure out the Rubik's cube of Arvel Reese. That's it. Whereas Bailey comes in day one, edge rusher. You've got your edge guys set for the next five years. Turn him loose, yeah. So overall, listen, this is not bad. We got, what are we, two months out of the draft, something like that?

Maybe eight weeks, seven weeks? I love mock drafts. A little bit of a sickness. Albert Breers around the corner thoughts on the Chiefs' Rams deal this morning. Max Crosby to the Bears. Cowboys next. The herd. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally calling it.

one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean.

I'll bet you a paramedipausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that Ness was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.

Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How hard can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.

Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of My Cultura Podcast Network available on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before.

And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate. the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nasree. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night bases on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too.

Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. But like, you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry, our first ever human guest.

I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the parrot. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scoble and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers? Very good question.

No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops.

Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime lists on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Monday morning quarterback covered the NFL for over 20 years. And we have breaking news from a couple of hours ago, the Rams. It's not surprising what the Rams did. Less needed said during, you know, the last week, like, hey, we got to upgrade it corner.

They were either going to draft it or go get it. And they have never valued corners in terms of drafting, but they went out and acquired Jalen Ramsey. And now they acquired Trent Duffy. I think the bigger question, because we know why the Rams are doing it. It's the hole in their game. Are the chiefs basically doing, it's a rebuild of the highest order because they're reading Mahom. but by getting a first, a fifth, the sixth, and a third, and moving off McDuffie does not at signal the chiefs understand.

Broncos have a better roster. Chargers may. It's a little bit of a semi-rebuild. I think it's a little bit of acknowledgement that you can't pay everybody. And, yeah, look, like the Rams have a lot of guys who are on rookie deals right now that are integral parts of who they are, right? Jared, Verrhus, Braden Fisk, Kobe Turner, Byron Young, Pooka, Nakua, you know, you can go up and down that roster,

Kairn Williams just came off of a rookie deal, it gives them some more flexibility. The chiefs are on the other side of that. So, you know, they've drafted and developed pretty well the last few years. Yeah. And, you know, so that's meant negotiating new contracts with these guys. And some of them you get done and some of them you don't. And so they've gotten Creed Humphrey Dunn, Tray Smith,

Nick Bolton, George Carloftus. And, you know, I think they recognized last year. after Derek Stingley got his deal done, that doing a deal with Trent McDuffie was going to be difficult. So they didn't get it done last year. And I think going into this year, there's a recognition that the market was only going to escalate. So this sort of sets up like the Tyree Kill deal did, right?

Like where the Tyree Kill deal gave him an opportunity to reset a bunch of things in their roster. And they drafted really well in the aftermath of the Tyree Kill deal. If you remember that first draft after trading Tyree Kill was the Trent McDuffie, George Karloftus draft. Well, now they've got a similar sort of opportunity. And that'll start with the ninth and 29th picks in the draft. Okay, so one gambling outfit says Max Crosby is a Chicago bear. They're leading candidates.

I don't think the Cowboys, I think they go get it in the draft because it's a good edge draft to replace Micah, and they've got their interior D-Lyman, they need a corner, and they need the Cowboys doing an edge rusher. They're paying DAC and C.D. Lamb and George Pickens, and now the salary cap hit for Kenny Clark and Quinn and Williams, I don't think it's going to work with Max. Max to the Bears, though, they will have to draft the center because it drew Dolman's retirement at 27, but does Max to the Bears make sense to you? Yeah, it does.

And I think that this, a quarter of the league, at least, is shown some interest in Max Crosby. And obviously there are different levels of that, what you're willing to give up, to go and get him, whether or not Max is interested in you as a piece of the equation too. But Chicago will be right there with New England. You know, you mentioned Dallas is a potential one. Tampa, you know, has had an interest. Seattle, I believe, is backed off a little bit. But there are a lot of teams that are that are in the mix for Max Crosby.

And, you know, I think Chicago, if you look at where they're at, I think you're going to see some moving parts on their roster. And they're going to do some things creatively. DJ Moore, I think for the right price is available in trade. Tremaine Edmins is available in trade. So you see some guys going off the roster. Does that clear the way for you to bring some new guys onto the roster? They've sniffed around Tyler Linderbaum, which would be a really high end.

You know, acquisition at center moving off of Drew Dalman. Obviously, they couldn't control that one. And so, you know, I think, you know, Ryan Poles and his group and Ben Johnson are going to think creatively here. and the edge opposite Montez Sweat has been a problem for them. They haven't been able to get it solved, and obviously Max would solve it in a very big way. Okay. You know, the quarterback market is interesting.

I've said before, I would take an old Aaron Rogers, an inexpensive Mac Jones, Ty Simpson, and Malik Willis over Kyler Murray. Does Kyler Murray have any market at all? He does, and one of the things that he has going for him, Colin,

like quite honestly is his price is that he can come in and play for you on the minimum and this is one of the reasons why I think he wanted to be cut you know is because when you get cut like this and you have that much guaranteed money and nobody's going to pay you above your guarantee

well then you could just go play for the minimum wherever and stick your old team with the bill and so this allows for Kyle Lord Murray to make this a pure football decision and he's also going to have a good idea of you know who has interest in him you know, separate from the financials.

And so, you know, would Minnesota have an interest in him? You know, that's, you know, obviously, I think the most attractive, you know, landing spot for a quarterback, with the jets have an interest in them, where the dolphins have an interest in them. You know, I think the financial logistics of this make him a really interesting guy to look at. And, you know, I could just tell you this. The Vikings really did do a lot of work over the last few months to investigate different guys who could be reclamation projects.

we saw work for them a couple of years ago with Sam Darnold. It's worked with Baker Mayfield. It's worked with Gino Smith. It's worked with Daniel Jones. And so they've really, you know, taken a hard look at different guys that they could put into a competition with J.J. McCarthy that are out of that reclamation project bucket. And so I think there could be a marriage there between Kyler and the Vikings. Okay. So I put up, I want everybody to put up my mock draft of my top 15 picks.

And I guess the surprise here is I put Bailey at number two to the Jets because I think Aaron Glenn, it was such a bad season that I don't think the people upstairs want to hear Aaron Glenn assure them that, hey, I can take this project, Rvel Reese, and I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I think he's lost all his power in the room. And Bailey's a guy that you can just plug in place, a pure edge rock. and I think Sala will eventually have the smoke in the room and the leverage to go get Rvel Reese, who again could be a little Fred Warner, can be a little edge rusher. I don't think, I think Aaron Glenn wants Rvel Reese. My take is the Jets management doesn't trust him to take a project. Where are you on Bailey going second, not the popular pick Rvel Reese? I think what Bailey is just a little bit more certainty. You know, you don't have to have a plan for

David Bailey. He plays a very conventional role, a very conventional role. A very conventional. position, put his hand to the ground, and have him get after the passer. And I mean, he's, you know, probably out of the box, a guy who's got potential for 10 to 12 sacks. The comparison I heard that was pretty interesting on him was Nick Benito. Somebody else told me maybe a lighter version of Kaleo Mac. Kaleo Mac's so big and strong and stout. He's not quite that. But maybe, you know, like a little bit of the pass rusher profile of a Kaleo Mac. So, like, there's a lot to like there with David Bailey. What you have with Rvel Reese is a player

that, like you said, you have to have a plan for him, but the ceiling is through the roof. And maybe I mixed metaphors there, but the ceiling is, there is no ceiling. You know, I think, I like, but I think you look at Reese and you do have to have a plan for him and what we're going to do with him. And look, like, I

think, you know, for the Jets, that's something to consider. Like, if this is a guy you have to have a plan for and he's still raw as an edge rusher, and your job is on the line, does that come into the equation for Aaron Glenn, right? And if you're the Jets organization, do you look at it and say, well, if we draft David Bailey, he's going to be good regardless of the coach, where Reese might be sort of dependent on what the coach's plan is for him. So those are all, you know, sort of interesting things to consider,

but they're different players. You know, I think they're both worthy of going up there in the top five. But like you said, David Bailey is a much more conventional, you know, NFL, rusher, whereas Arvel Reese is somebody who's a little bit more like Micah Parsons, you know, a little bit more like, you know, Jehad Campbell was last year coming out like Jalen Walker was last year coming out like Abdul Carter was last year coming out where you've seen the edge rush stuff. He just hasn't done it on a full-time basis. So there's some question how you use it. So the Rams go get Trent McDuffie to sort of solve their issue and they are now

number one in the league, Super Bowl favorite. They were tied with Seattle. now they've left Seattle. And I look at Kenneth Walker of the Seahawks. And I could see Denver saying, listen, I like my own line. I like my quarterback. I like a play caller. Franklin, Cortland Sutton, I like the guys in the perimeter.

Kenneth Walker seems to me, I understand why Seattle would move off him. Again, you win a Super Bowl, he has been dinged up. But with Harvey there, a one-two punch with Kenneth Walker and Harvey and Denver, kind of feels like it makes sense. Where do you think Walker lands? Walker has got a robust market. I think there will be a handful of teams involved. I think Breece Hall being tagged

by the Jets helps his cause. Because once you get past those two, you're talking about Travis Atienne, who may not be like the same sort of every down guy that Walker and Hall are. And so I think, you know, there's going to be competition for his services. And I think you're going to have contenders

involved. So Denver, like, you said. Their one team I've heard would be involved. I know Houston had an interest. Obviously, they're off that market now after the trade for David Montgomery. And the Kansas City Chiefs are interesting here. I think I mentioned this deal last week from the Combine. You did. Trent Midduffy clears just under $14 million in cash and $14 million in cap space for the Chiefs. That's about what I think Kenneth Walker is going to cost. Interesting. So there's some interesting sliding doors there. And I just think that the

Chiefs are one to watch. The Broncos are obvious. I think that you're right on there. Like what they were getting from J.K. Dobbins, you know, early in the year before he got hurt. You know, you had the durability concern with Dobbins. You bring Walker in. You have less of that

concern and you're probably getting more of what Dobbins gave you. And you're helping Bo Nix out. So I think both those teams, you know, both those teams, the the Broncos and the Chiefs will be involved. And I would say that the Seahawks will be monitoring this too. Like, I don't think the Seahawks are completely out of it either.

It would be understandable when you do your mock draft if you just took mine and put your name on it because it does really. It's a lot of buck eyes. Sonny's a little low there, isn't he? Sunny a little low, a little low after that big, big, big couple days in Indy. We'll see. Good to see you, Albert. All right. I'm sending this, by the way, to my general manager friends who are already telling me I've got one guy way too high.

Well, you know, we'll see. We'll see. Our mock drafts, as my staff well knows, I mess around with them. Now I'm all fired up on the chiefs. Chiefs don't get two first-round picks. What are they going to do? I think they want love, but there's the Kenneth Walker situation. Isn't that funny? McDuffie's just about what the money would take for Kenneth Walker.

Here's J. Mack with the news. No, no, no, no, no. Turn on the news. This is the herd line news. I check my phone in case you loop me in on that GM text thread with the GMs, but nothing yet. Just keep me posting on it, okay? All right, let's revisit Trent McDuffie and the big trade this morning. Colin, I think it's a really big, awesome deal for the Rams.

It's a good, not great deal for the Chiefs. It's interesting that Breer floated, hey, does that mean the Chiefs are in on Kenneth Walker? Colin, does it make sense building a team to move off an all-pro cornerback to get in the business of a running back? It doesn't add up to me. I don't totally know what the Chiefs are doing. Warren Sharp had an interesting take that the Chiefs now have more draft capital than they've had in almost 20 years. That's right. However, this is considered a weaker draft.

Why are you loading up for this year's draft? Next year's draft is supposed to be much better, especially at the top. So very puzzling stuff out of Kansas City right now. And again, we keep talking blue chip talent. They broke down. Creed Humphrey, obviously. Patrick Mahomes, yes. Chris Jones.

I think the star is dimming a bit. I'm not saying he's not a star. He's really good. Is Travis Kelsey coming back? What do we do with Rishie Rice? Like, Colin, look at their secondary. It's a bunch of former third and fourth and fifth round picks. And Spagnolo's defense last year did not deliver.

I know. Kansas City Chiefs fan think I'm a hater. Well, no. Listen, if they get Kenneth Walker, and their first two picks are an offensive lineman, a right tackle, and a starting corner to supplant the loss. Then all of a sudden I've got legitimate top seven running back, issue solved, pick up a backup later in the rent. Because right now they've got two ones, a second, a third, a fourth, two-fifths. They've got a lot of draft capital.

And I think they can solve. Their primary need, it happens to be in the first round a good tackle and a good corner draft. And I think they can get a corner and a tackle in the first round. And Kenneth Walker in free agency, that plugs three holes. So, again, I think they're a viable playoff team. But in a division, you know, with Denver, I don't think they stack up quite to Denver yet. Okay, listen, I'm not out here. I know you're tight with the GM of the Chiefs.

Okay, I'm not here bashing him. I know they watch. So you're making it sound like all these picks they're going to nail. So last year, Josh Simmons missed, he only played eight games. He missed a bunch of games. did play. When Josh Simmons did play, it was very good. Okay. So their second round pick barely did anything. Played five games, had a non-factor.

Third round pick, total non-factor. Their other third round pick is a cornerback who they're now projecting as a starter. Their fourth, fifth, and seventh basically did nothing. Brashott Smith, I guess, was decent rotational piece. And you go back in 2024. A lot of whiffs. Colin, 23. Wanya Morris is already gone.

I mean, they, you know, you. look at the Chief's history. They have not been like Grand Slam home runs. We keep thinking of the Chiefs from those Super Bowl teams with like Tyreek Hill, Prime Kelsey. I mean, they had like Sammy Watkins. They had, uh, Ligerius Sneed, McDuffey. They've had so many good players.

They're all gone, bro. The cupboard is empty. I don't know how this win total is anywhere close to 10. Which we talked about, I think, last week, right? Yeah. I mean, what do you think? This is an eight and a half win team, Max? No, I think Kenneth Walker, a couple of.

corner and a tackle in the first round. That's three holes. I think they're a 10-win team. You're so optimistic, Colin. Boy, love it. This is my nature. My DNA. All right, let's go.

Let me see you be optimistic about this next topic. Kyler Murray, who flamed out in Arizona. And according to draft kings, the Vikings are the early favorites to sign him at minus 110, which is crazy. That must mean somebody knows something. The jets are second. Gosh, please don't let that happen. dolphins followed by the Browns and Falcons.

Vikings? Kevin O'Connell, you think he wants to get in bed with Kyler? I don't do my homework, Murray? Yeah, I wouldn't bet any of those. Now, we know that nobody's going to have to pay him because, you know, he's getting paid from the Cardinals. So he, listen, Kyleor Marie at $2 million is a deal, but we thought that with Russell Wilson, too, didn't we? Yeah, I just, I don't.

Listen, J.J. McCarthy already struggles with confidence. so I don't think bringing Kyler Murray into the room helps. Yeah, you think Kyler Marie is going to be like a hold of clipboard, be a leader, be silent. That doesn't seem like his nature, except a silent.

He just is not like a chatty guy. He's not like verbally a leader. That's been established. Buda Baker was the leader of those Arizona Cardinals seat. I would not bet that at all. Let's go to the final story. And that is Trey Hendrickson of the Cincinnati bungles.

Let him go for, it got nothing out of it. so poorly played. They could have traded him multiple times, never got what they wanted, and now he's gone. He made the Pro Bowl four out of five seasons. In the last five years, he ranks in the top five in pressure rates, sacks, and sacks resulting in fumbles. Why didn't they just trade him a year ago? Because they're not a well-run organization? Just a shot in the dark, I don't know. Just so, total buffoonery. And I know we have a staffer who loves the Bengals. I'm curious if he's piling on here. He's honest. Unlike you and the Jets, he gives you a straight.

take. No, he knows. He's frustrated. And I go back to, you don't think Joe Burroughs sitting there today thinking, you couldn't have gotten me a right tackle or another tight end? I mean, they got nothing for him. What's the point? Losing stars for nothing really hurts badly. And Tray Hendrickson is stone is prime. My guess is he's the consolation prize for whoever goes after Max Crosby and whiffs. Hey, let's go get Trey Hendrickson. I mean, he's still really freaking good. I don't know that He's a top five edge rusher, but top 10 for sure, right? Oh, absolutely. He's probably top five or six, yeah.

I mean, listen, if Buffalo can get him on the cheat? Oh, it'd be. That's a home run. You're not getting him on the cheap, but if you could get him, period. Well, does he want to go contend again? I think he's in the Micah Parsons class. I think he's probably a little better against the run than Micah. Are you down on Micah Parsons?

No, I'm just, Micah is kind of a splash player. Kind of a, David Mulligetta is going to text me after this. Can you get? Can you get Calgary? He's a bit of a splash player. I'm a Miles Garrett, Max Crosby. Those are Mike. You've planted your flag over there.

Give me Micah. Give me Micah. All right. Jay Mack with the news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The Herd Lie News. Yeah, I love sending my mock out and it gets crushed by everybody.

That's so good. Live in Chicago, it's The Herd. Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd, weekdays, in noon Eastern 9 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, FS1, and the IHeard Radio app. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time.

You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a parameda Pazzo chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my GenX squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex?

Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter. And dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, How Hard Can It Be?

I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of My Cultura podcast network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam, it's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what.

He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.

He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash will get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball.

Like, you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah. You figure it out real quick. Oh, yeah. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Crimless, we're joined by our first ever guest. Sorry. Our first ever human guest.

I don't think I could be in the same room with Shamrock the parrot. I'd be too nervous. That's right. The very funny Will Ferrell joins Rory Scovel and me, Josh Dean, for an episode dedicated to the many crimes committed by people also named Will Ferrell. They called to his fellow officer for the nippers. What are the nippers? Very good question.

No, I was thinking, would that be a good name for like a salad dressing? Simple assault. And it's a play on word, salt? Maybe not. I say we invest and we see. There's only one way to know. This did not amuse the cops. By the way, normally the cops are amused, but this did not abuse the cops.

Will even comes clean about some of his own crimes. I didn't get caught. You know why? If you don't want to be suspected of anything, you whistle as you walk. Listen to crime lists on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Friday at 8 Eastern. only on Fox. Terrick Scoobel, back-to-back Tsayung winner for the Detroit Tigers

favor to win a third straight. He will get his only world baseball classic start Saturday against Great Britain. Jazz Chisholm of the Yankees is their best player. And I asked him about Team USA's chances and how they're going to, you know, how is it going to be managed? Is it, will you be allowed to go

if you had a no-hitter into the seventh inning? How are they going to manage it? He talks about Team USA. With what we got going on to in the talent of arms that we have, I like our odds against anybody, you know, however those decisions get made. You know, I think there's going to be piggyback starters and starter goes here. We go to a reliever and then we give the next starter a clean inning. And then, you know, hopefully it's the seventh, eighth, ninth.

And I don't think anybody wants to face the guys that we got in the seventh, eighth or ninth inning. So it's going to be a ton of fun. You know, I also, and there you go, schedule Friday, Brazil. He's got what they call a turbo slider. Good luck, Brazil, Great Britain, Mexico, and Italy. I just want to watch. I just want to watch Brazil, Great Britain, Mexico, and Italy. I want to see their teams.

We all know this. In the NBA, the last several MVPs have been international players. Yokic, you know, SGA, Luca, you know, Janus, just an explosion of international talent. Everybody knows that to be true. Years ago, the reputation for international players is they were soft, but very highly skilled. They play fewer games, a lot more practice than domestic players, and they play against

older players if they're good and young. They can be 17, 18 years old. They're playing against 24-year-old men. So they come out highly skilled. Now, what's happened because of the N.I. NIL is American colleges can simply pay more because our economy is much bigger than Europe. And we can pay more and buy the best European kids. So Petino talked about over the last couple of years with NIL the influx of really high-end European players.

The Europeans, they used to ball movement, player movement. Who are the high post is the center? Find the back door cutter. set screens, pop out, the ability to shoot the three for the foreign players. On my team, I have a player from Austria, Sweden, Nigeria, Ghana, Portugal, Greece. So the foreign influence is here to stay, but it makes the game so much better because they really understand how to play. Now, most of them defensively can't guard me, but on the offense, they're great. So I think what we're seeing, I mean, I know over the last couple of weeks, I start to really watch college basketball when you get into late February, early March, the quality is unbelievable.

You go watch Michigan and Arizona play. They just have layers of talent. And Petino's, St. John's team, has split with Yukon, beat Georgetown last night. They're 18th in the country. size, good guard play, obviously a brilliant coach. But one of the things I talked to Patino about, Roy Williams retired, Coach Kay retired, Jay Wright retired, and here's Patino still plugging along, and I asked him kind of why he's endured. I think I can adjust to just about anything because you have to adjust today.

You see it all the time in the game. You have to change with the times because it's all different, no different than the NFL, the way the NFL game has played. He used to be running back off tackle, Jim Brown running off tackle and taking people with him, and now it's wide outs more than anything else. So all the sports change, the coaches that don't want to change get out. And I wasn't ready to get out because they took two years off, and my golf wasn't very good. Some of the things go into the racetrack, I was losing too much money.

so I like to keep the money in my pocket and coach basketball. And that's what he is doing for St. Jones, who, you know, they're playing a lot of their games at Madison Square Garden now, which is great. For years and years post-Louis Carnaceco, they couldn't get it right. So the story of the day, Patrick Mahomes put out the tweet, damn, Trent McDuffie on any Sunday next to Mahomes, as good a players as the Kansas City Chiefs have, they traded into the Rams who needed a corner. You know, people say it's a good draft, a bad draft. It depends.

Not Kansas City now has the most draft picks they've had in 20 years. And I think that the two or three things they need, it's a good tackle draft, a good corner draft in the first round and a good edge draft. That's exactly what the chiefs need. So if they could get Kenneth Walker from the Seahawks, they would solve, it's a bad running back draft. So get Kenneth Walker, get a tackle, a corner, and an edge with your first three picks, I think Kansas City will be fine.

they're in a kind of a soft rebuild where they've got the coach and the quarterback and some decent weapons but they're getting long in the tooth uh chris jones probably needs to have a bounce back here um here was albert brier not long ago on the mcduffy move walker has got a robust market i think there will be a handful of teams involved i think brie's call being tagged by the jets helps his cause and i think you're going to have contenders involved so denver like you said their one team I've heard would be involved. I know Houston had an interest. Obviously, they're off that market now after the trade for David Montgomery. And the Kansas City Chiefs are interesting here. I think I mentioned this deal last week from the Combine. Trent Midduffy clears just under

$14 million in cash and $14 million in cap space for the Chiefs. That's about what I think Kenneth Walker is going to cost. Pretty interesting. Makes a lot of sense. for Kansas City. Now, J-MAC is down on Kansas City. But again, I think between free agency, first of all, if you have the coach and the quarterback right, you're always viable. I mean, New England was awful. They get Vrable with Drake May, and Drake May is not even a finished product, and they're in the Super Bowl. So Kansas, I mean, I don't think Baltimore's going to be as good. I don't trust the Burroughs, let Hendrickson go. Buffalo didn't have a pro-bowler on defense. I think Denver's really, really good, but it's not.

Not everybody loves Bo Nix. So I think if they can solve running back, right tackle, get another corner, edge rusher. They got a lot of picks. I think they'll beat. I think they're a 10-11 win team. Yeah. I'm wondering, do you think they go, is there a world where the Rams decide? You know what?

Bleep it. Let's go all in. Let's go after Max Crosby. Or is that just, that's a little too much now that they got McDuffie? No. I, I, listen, drafting is impossible. I mean, John Snyder, what he's doing in. Seattle is insane that he's like nine for his last nine in the first two rounds. And he's been doing

it, by the way, middle of the first round, bottom of the first round. It's hard. It's hard to continue that, too. Yeah. So maybe the Rams strategy all along, forget the picks. It was a different F word that they said regarding the picks. But like it seems like it's a winning strategy for them. Now you have the quarterback, you got the coach, you're in good shape. You don't need picks. Well, I think with McVeigh, it seems like every offensive pick. I mean, Puka, fifth round. Kiron Williams, fourth or fifth round. I mean, they just kind of,

I don't know if it was. You know, he's been a disappointment. Most of their picks. Well, your point on the Puka Adams stuff with the Puka injuries and Adams being old, that's the only reason I think your lemon to the Rams in the first round could have some legs. They might need a third receiver.

We'll see you tomorrow. First, things first. starts next. Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick.
