What it do? Baby, you know that bank of a B by now, right? You know that is the intro, the theme, the sound. Of the college football function. You know the voice right now. You should know the voice by now. It is C.M. Funk AKA, the host that knows the most about the NCAA action. It is C.M. the black sheep of the family. Mr. Stilio, girl. Mr. Take your grandma. Mr. Love-de-boe. Mr. Right. Just Mr. and Mr. How about that? I hope you're doing well. I am here, of course, to give you guys a couple of more prospects to dive into getting ready, of course, for the upcoming draft. We are in the single digits. We are-- it is right around the corner. The draft, like I said, I'm not going to say-- I'm not going to say what David is, because like I said, I've recorded a couple of episodes the last couple of weeks. And I'm combining them. And I'm going to send them off. And Mike can kind of publish them and get them up and running whenever he deems whatever works for him, right? So whatever works between them. You also don't want one of my shows to kind of conjunctivize one of their shows. Like, you don't want me to talk about cornerbacks. And then Mike and them have talked about cornerbacks through the last show. You're a little corner backed out, right? You want another position. So I am here, of course, breaking down another double-banger of an episode. I've got two positions I'm going to break down on both sides of the ball, as I always do. I'm going to do linebackers and quarterbacks. Definitely one of my favorites for sure, linebacker for sure. Definitely a position I wish I could have played. When I played ball back in the day, more of an outside linebacker, edge, defensive end type player. But I always wanted to be a middle linebacker. And NCAA video games and Madden, I always love to be a middle linebacker, being the captain of the defense, being the quarterback of the defense, right? So it's only fitting I do linebackers and quarterbacks. And these are all going to be mostly multi-positioned linebackers. What do you think of linebackers? This is yet, again, another position that's kind of fell off. They're the Luke Kekeles of the world and Brian Erlockers and Zach Thomas's. And those days are gone. Like I said, I remember Mike talking about that. The position has changed. You can't just have a big, nasty, ugly dude, five yards in front of the center. And he has to do one or two things. Stop to run and keep things from going across this face. Nowadays, linebackers have a multifaceted things that they have to do. They have to be able to blitz. They have to be able to cover a tie-dye and cover running back. Decipher misdirections, decipher counters, and so on and so forth. There's so much things that have to be going on in the linebacker position that's just completely changed the position, how the game has changed. Same way with the running back position. That's changed the game as well. You don't have Adrian Peterson's in the game anymore. Derek Henry is a unicorn. I understand that. That's what people probably say. Well, there's still Derek Henry. Well, there's not a whole lot of them anymore. The Adrian Peterson's and Todd Gurley's and Adrian James's and stand up, stand alone running backs, or Diamond Dozen nowadays. You got to have multifaceted running backs. You have to have guys that can pass buck, guys that can catch the ball. Go north to south and east to west. And then with linebackers, it's the same. You have to have every single position laid out. You have to be able to play will. You have to be able to play Sam. You have to be able to pass rush. You got to be able to drop in coverage. Cover a tie-dye and man coverage, so and so forth. It's just so much that goes on in the linebacker position nowadays, and it's so hard to recruit too as well. Not just recruit, but also look at prospect breakdowns. It's are these guys more of a run-stopping linebacker? Are they more of a will linebacker? I'll talk more a little bit about that. I'll break that down just a little bit later. I am going to start with the linebackers, but I'm doing the quarterbacks as well. Definitely a long list. I got a lot of people to do. So let's get into it. Like I said, I want to do linebackers first. I'm going to start with my number one linebacker. This is a guy that I don't think he's going to be picked. The very first linebacker off the field. I mean, draft day, he's not going to be the first linebacker picked. I'm sorry, he's not. But his name is Peyton Wilson at ANSI State. This is a multi-slotted linebacker. He can play different spots. If he has to, ran a 4-4-4-40. This is a guy that's fast, saying 6-4 or 2-33. I see a lot of Jack Campbell in him. I'll definitely do this a lot with some of these prospects, some prospects don't have comps. Some prospects do. I just see somebody and I remember their game, and I'll go, man, he looks a lot like X. And I'll throw that in. Am I right? Am I wrong? It's just what I see in my breakdown of tape and stuff of everything I've seen about some of these players. You must be a Jack Campbell. Last time I checked, Jack Campbell was a stud linebacker for the Detroit Lions that got drafted pretty high in the first round last year. So like I said, don't be surprised. Peyton Wilson's got NC State. Very tough. As a violent tackler, he is a coverage aware linebacker. He's a freak athlete. This was a guy that was a wrestler in high school. Love that about the guy. Very high linebacker instincts. He has a very high linebacker IQ. Love that about him. This is a guy that will fit multiple schemes. 3-4, 4-3, 3-3-5. Hell, you never know what some of these defenses are going to do, but he fits anything you put him into. This is a play diagnosis. This is a guy that's very, very smart. He sees things before it. Quick read, react, twitch, so on and so forth. A nose for the ball. Bad thing about him is his injuries. This is a guy who's had an ACL injury too. That's definitely big red flags, especially when you're a linebacker. You've got to be fast. You've got to be able to put that foot in the ground and make decision really, really fast and have any medically fixed ACL. It's not good, but I just still love this guy. This is a guy that's his size is yet to be admired. I love his size, but they're not saying he's a prototypical linebacker size. And his age, he's going to be an older rookie. He's kind of got that pin X bow Nix. Been playing ball for a while. He's going to be 23, 24 years old. You know, maybe his first season, he might only be, he might turn 25. Be a rookie. So that's definitely something they're saying. Maybe he doesn't have as much tread on his tires. It's pretty much all they're going to say. But that's still my number one guy. Would love him in a Carolina Panthers uniform. And if you get him on your team, you should be very, very happy. That's Peyton Wilson at NC State. Next best guy. I got Edger and Cooper out of A&M. This is another multi-faceted linebacker. He can play different positions. He ran a 4-5, stands 6-2, 2-30. This guy reminds me of Nolan Smith. Baller, of course, you know. Baltimore Ravens, Georgia Bulldog. He's got a lot of those same qualities. Is he Nolan Smith? Yet to be seen, but he reminds me of him. He just flashes little bitty bits and parts of his game remind me of Nolan Smith. Same thing with Jack Campbell and Peyton Wilson before. Does he, do I say he's going to be the next one? No, but he's got a lot of the same qualities. Now, Edger and Cooper, great athlete. This is a guy that is very good in man and in coverage. This is a guy who is also a pass rusher as well. He's got a lot of OLB in him. He's got some pass drushing him. This is a guy that had 10 sacks in 2023. More of a will-style linebacker. He's going to be a will-sideline week-side linebacker. Sorry. MLB, of course, middle linebacker, will-week-side linebacker. Sam would be your strong sideline backer, of course. It's also going on the offensive scheme, where you line up. But this is a prototypical will. That's probably what he will play in the second level. This is a consistent playmaker. Bad sides about him, though, is he's got to bulk up. Definitely needs to get bigger. He needs to work on his zone discipline. He knows when and where to go and do whenever he's in his own type scheme. And his power run game, this is a guy that's just-- he's not a run-stopper. He's just not. He's definitely just going to have to work on that, though. But he goes up against a power run game. This is a guy that can-- they will point at that guy and they will run at him all day. But it's something that he can work on. Like I said, him being a will-style linebacker, they traditionally don't always run to him. But there's also counters and things like that, misdirections. You don't always want to run to the strong side. You want to run-week-side as well. If you want to be a good offense, for sure, that's Edgerin Cooper out of A&M, my next best linebacker. Next guy, junior Colson out of Michigan. This is another multi-positional linebacker, ran a 4-5. Again 6-2-2-38. This is a guy that's impressive in coverage. This is a coverage-style linebacker. Run defender is very good. This is a coach/communicator. This is a guy that could have a green dot on his helmet, calls the plays, makes the audibles, gets the guys in the right position based on what he sees. Consistent tackler, and he's very instinctual. This is a guy that's quick-twitch fast, what to do when you get there. He diagnoses plays very, very fast. Batting is his zone run. He can get suckered up and be in the wrong position. Zone run tends to get him in trouble. This is a guy that gets beat outside faster running backs, will beat him to the point. He gets run by. He can get faster, for sure, in the backfield linebacker, he doesn't have that quality. He's not a pass rusher. This is not something that he has in his repertoire. You know, it could be something he could add to his game, absolutely, but you do not see junior Colson in Michigan tape very often in the backfield. He's just not that style of linebacker, it is what it is. Like I said, a lot of these guys have all the qualities, some have stronger qualities in one thing and weaker in the other. Like I said, to be a pro-style linebacker is very, very hard nowadays, and you have to have all these things working for you to be drafted very, very high. Moving on. Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. at a Clemson ran a 4640 stand 6'2"28". Got another guy, another guy that's got a little comp to him. Nick Bolton. I know that's very, very bold for me to say, and Nick Bolton being one of the best linebackers in the game, for sure, for the Kansas City Chiefs. I see a lot of him in him, for sure, Jeremiah Trotter. Good coverage linebacker. This is definitely one of his strong suits. He's a dependable blitzer though, great speed, good power combination, his agility and his instinctual playmaking opportunities are up there along with the best bloodline. Jeremiah Trotter, everybody knows Jeremiah Trotter, Sr., you know, I do believe he played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Thumper, you know, there is always something to say about sons of pro athletes, whether it be baseball, basketball, you know, Patrick Mahome, Christian McCaffrey, they're so Marvin Harrison, Jr., typically these guys have been around, none of this stuff is going to be new to them, they've been around it their whole lives. That definitely translates, I do, I believe it translates because daddy played, you play, you're going to be good too, and you're going to learn the little ins and outs and some of these things that, you know, have other guys don't really have the opportunity to go through. Bad thing about him is his run defense, he's definitely a lighter, you know, style running, I mean, linebacker, he's just going to have to work on that. He can't be too dependable on one side of the ball, he's going to have to learn to get in those run lanes and make some tackles and be a run stopper, not just a pure, you know, coverage linebacker, say his size, he's more of a bulked up safety than he is a linebacker. And that could be interesting, you never know, they might draft this guy to be a safety and just kind of slim him down a little bit, because he plays a lot like a strong safety, build wise and size wise, his feed wise, but definitely he could be Swiss army knife, you know, he could be a Dion branch, a guy that you can play nickel as well. There's a lot of opportunities in the NFL game for multifaceted type players and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. fits that as well, I know he's coming out as a linebacker, but definitely going to have to hone some of these things and get bigger if he wants to play linebacker, but he can also play a couple of different off the other positions I can honestly see. Cedric Gray is my next guy, North Carolina, this is another multifaceted linebacker running for six, stands six to two 34, this is a three year starter, love that about this guy. I love seeing three, four year starters, that means they get experienced, think at high IQs, they stay on the field, very explosive. This guy is a cover ground, rapidly type guy, sidelines and sideline, good in coverage, this guy can blitz, bad thing about him is his tackling consistency, he definitely needs to work on that and his block shedding has yet to be admired, his friend defense definitely is something he can work on and his man coverage refinement can be worked on as well. And a lot of those things can be fixed with snaps and coaches, that is Cedric Gray at North Carolina, another good linebacker, Javan Solomon out of Troy, this is more of an outside linebacker, four seven six one two forty six, acceleration, pass, rusher, sacks and tackles for loss, this is more of an edge type guy, this could be a will Sam, go and get the being a backfill, tight linebacker, straight up baller, bad thing about him is he shorter on the shorter side, six one, his run defenses yet to be admired and he gets pushed around a lot more by long armed tackles, goes against a long arm tackle, he can be null and void, you know, he could be taken out of a play, but that is just one of the good things about that things about Javan Solomon not to believe he's got a lot of good qualities, could be a pass rusher, he's got a lot of good things going for him and that is Javan Solomon out of Troy, sorry.

Hell, you never know, they might just do that, but complex offensive schemes that he's going to run into in the NFL, that could hurt him, you know, him being inexperienced at linebacker, some of these experienced linebackers have problems converting to the NFL complex offensive schemes. If a guy that is very inexperienced with college offenses, how is he going to translate into the very, very complex NFL offense, that's going to be his biggest red flag, this is a guy that someone's going to take a chance on, but they're going to have to have some really good linebacker coaches and some good defensive coordinators for sure, because this guy is going to need some more for sure, but I still see a lot of good things about him, moving to safety, he's more confident at safety, he's more of a safety style player too for sure, moving on, Tommy Eichenberg got a Ohio State, ready for 640, stand 62, 233, this is a epitome of a run stopping linebacker, that's what it is, run defense, he is his game, he's a thumper, a disruptor, a lane clogger, this is a sound tackler with a high IQ, he has that read, react, quick twitch, know where to go and when and how to get there as fast as possible. The bad thing about him is his coverage, like I said, most run stopping linebackers, they're not going to be good in coverage, they don't have that speed that they're going to necessarily need, going to have to work on his man coverage skills, block shedding and adapting to play action, definitely a guy that can get manipulated by misdirection and play action and things like that, but if you need a good run stopping linebacker and you're in a more of a run style division, there's a lot of teams that like to run the ball, AKA, AFC North, and a good outside linebacker that likes to stop the run, and that's one of his good things about him, let's look at Mr. Tommy Eichenberg at Ohio State for sure. This guy, Maurice Lafau, had a Notre Dame, ran a 4640, stands 6-2-2-34, 2-34, sorry, I got a comp to him, he reminds me a lot of Henry Toto, the stand up linebacker at Alabama, I do believe he isn't Houston, if I'm not mistaken, up the top of my head, I don't really have that wrote down, but sounds familiar, he's got a lot of good game, he reminds me a lot of Henry, very natural in coverage, this is a capable blitzer, he has closing speed, he's very tough, a violent tackler, has a very high motor, this is a guy that's not a threat on the edge, that is definitely something that will be used against him in the second level, he lines up on the edge, most of the time he's not going to come after the quarterback, so that's definitely something that offensive tackles will be like, I don't know, I'm going to touch him, so it definitely takes a knife away at a Swiss Army knife in his linebacker game, if I'm going to kind of numb it down just a little bit, during the run he has a hard time finding the ball, I know that's a very bad quality to say that a linebacker has because a linebacker should always have that nose to the ball, that instinctual always being at the right spot at the right time, this guy with the run, it's hard to find, he sometimes is out of the play, for sure, so definitely needs to work on that, in his size, he doesn't have the size you ideally would want, but like I said, some of these things could be worked on, absolutely, that was Maurice Laafau at a Notre Dame, Tyron Hopper at a Mizzou, oh sorry about that, let's see here, this is a multi guy, this guy can play multi positions on the linebacker position, ready for five, stand six two two thirty one, this is a guy that's very good in zone coverage, it's his strength, very agile, this is a defensive back and a linebacker body, love that about him, he's a efficient pass rusher, he's good in man, this is a guy that finds the ball, bad thing about him is he's very raw, his coverage awareness definitely needs to be worked on, and this is a guy that has not a violent hitter, I know you probably think of linebacker, she'd think of Thumper, she'd think guys that tackle hard, hit you hard, this guy doesn't have it, does he have the aptitude, does he have the size, does he have everything he needs to do it, it's just too many times I saw, is he's a grab and dragger, instead of inflicting his will and being the stronger, faster meaner guy, he's a grab and dragger, is it a bad thing, I'd say no, but I want my linebackers to be nasty, I want my linebackers to thump, I want my linebackers to knock the shit out of people, that's what I want, and that's maybe a mean streak type deal, maybe that's something he can work on, I'm not saying he's soft, I'm not saying that at all, I love the guy, if I'm talking about him that means I like him, it's just I want my linebackers that's a little more mean, I want my junkyard dogs, that's just for all I'm gonna say, but that's Tyrone Hopper at a Mizzou, I still think he's a great guy, but could definitely work on some things, next guy, Curtis Jacobs at a pin state, this is more of a coverage style linebacker, ran a 458 40, stand 6-1, 2-41. I comped him to Nick Hampton, if you don't know who Nick Hampton is, he's a pretty decent linebacker, I didn't believe he got drafted last year, I want to say the Los Angeles Rams, I want to say competent, competent player, he was a late round guy, there's nothing wrong with a late round linebacker, and if I'm talking about Curtis James right now, if I've already talked about a whole lot of linebackers, this is a late round guy, backfield disruptor, this is a guy that gets back there and makes problems in the backfield, he is a Reed React guy, I love that about him, good blitzer, this is a fast guy, this guy could be an outside linebacker, this guy could be an edge type player, bad thing about him is his counters and next direction definitely seems to bug him sometimes, real complex offensive schemes, play action counters, things like that, things that get linebackers to spin their head and pay too much attention to the backfield instead of what they're supposed to do, that definitely gets him in trouble sometimes, it's like a guy who overruns his plays, overruns plays sometimes, sorry about that, it definitely needs to work on his own refinement, where to be, when to be there, so on and so forth, run defenses yet to be admired and another guy that needs to bulk up for sure, steel chambers, the best name out of this whole prospect, I love that, the name steel chambers at Ohio State, ran a 48, 458 40 sorry, 61 226, this is a run defender, this is a zone effective player, he plays fast, he's very instinctual, he finds the ball, bad thing about him is his pass rush is yet to be admired, he's not a real threat on the outside to go and get the quarterback, and this is a guy that misses more plays than he makes, it could not be something to be worked on, I believe so but it's definitely a red flag, it's definitely a reason why he's ranked outside the top 10 linebacker rankings, at least in my rankings as well, it's definitely a guy that just doesn't jump off the tape, he misses plays, takes plays off, or he just doesn't quite find the ball at appropriate times, can he be worked on, absolutely but I still think he's a great guy, definitely could be a late round guy if you need a run defender, kind of like an Eichenberg type guy, who's a little bit more prolific in the, you know, coverage zone style thing, but you know, just needs a little bit of refinement in some of these things, go after still chambers at Ohio State, this is a guy I think has a lot of potential, alright, my last guy in the linebacker position, more than likely is not going to hear his name, like I said, every one of these positions I want to give a long shot, I want to give a diamond in the rough, a lot of times it's a smaller school type guy too, it's not a guy from Clemson or the Longhorns or USC or Michigan or Ohio State, I want to shit a little light for the little guys, you know, those American conferences or Mac or WAC or, you know, some of these little guys, I want to give a little bit of love to these guys, this guy played for UTEP, his name is Ty Rice Knight, love the name, another multifaceted linebacker can play all the positions, stand six foot, 233, heavy hitter, thumper, run defense is his strength, he can stop the run, love that about him, great speed, this is a blitzer, dependable blitzer, his awareness and discipline, our top notch, this is a guy that flies around, he's got sideline to sideline speed, love this guy, bad thing about him, it's his pass rush is a little inconsistent at times and his speed could be worked on, he could be a little bit faster and is tackling, just needs to be brushed up on, that's why I see this guy is a late rounder, an undrafted kind of guy, but I like his strengths and I think his weaknesses can be fixed, so I like Ty Rice Knight out of UTEP as my long shot, so that does it for the linebacker position, I gave you, let's see here, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen guys, twelve and a long shot, you know, hell even still chamber, he might not even get drafted, but like I said, all these guys, it's, what kind of scoop of ice cream, like what kind of defense do you run, of course the Peyton Wilson, Edger and Cooper, and a junior Colson fit, more defensive schemes, you can put him at the position you need, absolutely, some of these guys in the middle like your Eichenberg, your La Fau, your Curtis Jacobs, maybe that's just that one position that you need, maybe you're, you know, in the trail mix, you need the pretzel and you have everything else, you just need the pretzel or you need the raisin, some of these guys are just raisins, I know it's a weird, weird thing to say, but sometimes you have everything else right, you just need that one little piece, the one that fits exactly what you're looking for, and you know, like I said, some of these guys will fit and like I said, all these guys will end up on somebody's team at some point and some time, so like I said, these are all guys that I am admiring and I really, really like, so Peyton, some of those guys want to come to the draft and free agency for sure, alright, let's get down to a fun fun position, one of my favorite positions, definitely one of the most admirable, most looked at, most dissected, most wanted positions this year and that is the quarterback, everybody knows this is a quarterback driven league, this if you don't have a good quarterback, you don't have shit, you're not going to host a Lombardi, you can look back in the fast, you know, 50 something Super Bowls, there's only been a couple of quarterbacks, hold up that Lombardi, most of the time, it's a stud, you're John Elway's, to your Brett Farves, to your Patrick Mahomes's, to your Tom Brady's, to you know, of course, you can name all the quarterbacks, you know, Terry Bradshaw, it's just people off the top of my head, but you have to have a good quarterback, and I do believe in this draft coming up in the next couple of days, the top three picks are going to be quarterbacks, might even be top four, and I'm not saying Arizona is going to draft a quarterback, somebody could go up to Arizona and give Arizona something good, give them the receiver that they might want, and they can go out and get their quarterback, I could say this is a very quarterback deep, this is another one of those, what kind of ice cream do you like, are you a chocolate guy, you a strawberry guy, you're a pistachio guy, I got everything you could possibly need, and unlike a lot of people, everybody sees Caleb Williams as being this can't miss type, you know, prospect, I don't see it that way, is he, have a higher ceiling and a lower floor, absolutely, does he check every box, absolutely, I just don't like his character, I don't like the twist between his heads, it's one of those things, if you don't learn from the past, you're doomed to repeat it, guys like Caleb Williams have come out, and it don't work, guys like Drew Locke and Johnny Manziel and Baker Mayfield and hell even well Levis, I know it's yet to be seen about him, but it's these kind of cocky show, look at me, look at me, immature kind of, I'm all about me type players, don't pan out in the NFL and Caleb Williams checks all those boxes and it worries me, do I want to be wrong, absolutely, I hope this guy has a great NFL career, I hope he wins multiple Super Bowls, it's just I want to catch something before everybody else catches it, you know, you always want to be the first person to, you know, find the diamond in the rough or point something out and it be right, and of course I'm going out on a limb and I could be wrong, and I'm fully aware of that, I'm fully fine with taking the, you know, the shit I'm going to get if I'm wrong, and like I said, do I, I don't want to be wrong, but if it happens, it happens, I'm a grown-ass man, I'm going to admit I made a mistake, but let's start off course with Caleb Williams, like everybody says, the most, the number one overall pick, I think it's almost, you know, it's in Sharpie, it's in Stone, this is a guy that's going to be playing for Chicago, one of the good things about him, 6-1-2-14, sorry, I, his size is yet to be admired, in my own opinion, I thought he was a little bit bigger than that, to be honest, but arm-talent clutch is threat to run, you always have to keep that on your side, very accurate, this is a guy that's effective on the run, this is what sets him apart from all the other guys, he's got that improv, he's got that arm size, he's got everything, he's got, he's supposedly the next Patrick Mahomes, not fair to the kid, I see it, but can he do it, that's going to be the difference, bad things about him is his size, I, I, 6-1-2-14, I, for some reason, I always thought he was bigger, I think he plays bigger than what he is, in my honest opinion, and he run a, a simpler offense, you know, he ran that, you know, wide open, kind of air raid style offense that sometimes doesn't translate, I know Patrick Mahomes ran it at Tech and Lincoln Riley, a lot of people don't know, but he learned a lot of those offensive styles and offensive schemes from Mike Leach when he coached under Mike Leach, he was a part of the Mike Leach tree, so that offense doesn't always translate to the NFL with a more complex, a more different, a whole lot more things going on in the NFL style offense, it doesn't translate, his mechanics can be definitely worked on, they're a little, he gets a little sloppy sometimes, you know, I definitely needs to work on that, and his ball security, this is a guy that probably turned over the ball a lot more times than a lot of people would like to admit, and this is another guy that when he's running, he's too damn free with the ball, I hate that about people that run with the ball, you don't hold that thing high and tight, he's one of those, yeah, loaf of bread when he's running it, and I can't stand that about a quarter back when they run, but he shows a lot of improv, he checks every single box, it's just, I gotta do my due diligence, I just don't think he's gonna do that great, like I said, I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong, but let's go down the line on what I think, and then we'll go from there, the next best quarterback that I do, this is what I'm going to do is draft day, the second best quarterback that's going to be drafted, everybody knows Kayla Williams is gonna go overall one, I'm gonna do overall next best, not in my honest opinion, I'm just going on what's going to happen on draft day, Jayden Daniels at LSU, stand 6-4-2-10, love his size, this is an athlete, good pocket awareness, arm strength, very good, his decision making, I love about Jayden Daniels, this guy loves to go for the big play, but he doesn't always do that, he, I love sometimes when he checks down, I loved about a quarterback, it's knowing when to pull the trigger, not always going for that six, you know, sometimes that little check down is better than an interception, everybody will tell you that a lot, definitely Patrick needed to learn that early in his career, is the low win to check down, this is a guy that's a leader, he has great mechanics, this is a guy that is definitely a run threat as well, his throwing motion, yeah, is yet to be admired, can that be worked on, can it be polished, absolutely, and this is a guy that just needs to stay in the pocket more often, he just got too dependent on the outside pocket runs, the bootlegs and so on and so forth, the improvisation of, you know, the game, he got too dependent on that, he's going to have to learn how to stay in the pocket and trust his offensive line, and if he goes to a team, probably in the talk too, you know, more than likely Washington, not real sure how good their offensive line is, so it might translate for him, it might be, you know, just pick that up and, you know, have to scramble, you know, make some plays, but it is what it is, Jayden Daniels definitely needs to learn how to get work on his pocket integrity, I'm going to call it that, the next guy that I do believe is going to be drafted, Drake May, North Carolina, six, four, two, 23, dual threat, definitely got who can run if he has to, Cannon, very accurate off his platform, he definitely got a lot of Caleb Williams in him for sure, accurate arm talent is there, this is a guy that played behind a very horrible off his line, definitely, I don't want to have a knock on him about that, but I also don't want to pat him on the bat for that, for what he did because he had a horrible offensive line, Patrick Mahomes had a horrible offensive line, and he didn't even fucking win at Texas Tech, and he's the best quarterback in the game right now, right, so another shit always translates into the NFL, just so you know, moving on, sorry, this is another guy with a bloodline, you know, it's a family thing, you know, Drake May is one of a brother, you know, his brother played for North Carolina, I do believe he was a basketball player though, but his dad played sports, you know, this is a guy that's going to walk into an NFL locker room, and is not going to be intimidated, he's going to have understood, he's going to know what's going on, and definitely have a leg up on some of his competitors for sure, bad things about him, is this slow decision making sometimes, he just doesn't pull the trigger fast enough for me at least, progressions, he needs to work on going through his progressions a lot faster, the NFL game is a lot faster than the college game, and it seemed like he was slow in the college game, I don't know if that's going to translate very well into the NFL, and I think that's why a lot of people are kicking Drake May, his can a little bit farther down, because they're thinking, man, he made a lot of mistakes in college, and his progression's not very good, and his decision making's not very good, his footwork's not very good, his turnovers aren't very good, his force throwing is yet to be admired, are those things that you all want to work on, and be a top three pick, and that's why a lot of people are saying Drake May is not as good as everybody really says he is, but I admire him, he's got to go to the right system though, this is a guy that's going to need some help, he's going to need a good offensive line, he's going to need some weapons, but I think this guy has got a lot to prove, and I'm thinking the whole him and Kayla Williams, one A and one B thing was very unfair to Kayla Williams, I don't think Drake May is as good as a talent than Kayla Williams, and I'm not high on Kayla Williams, if that says anything about Drake May, Kay and he ball out good, but I see a little Mac Jones man, and I hate to say it is he might go to New England, and it's scary, I mean it really is, Drake May is as not as a home run as you think, and I'm sorry to do that any Drake May fans, he's North Carolina fans, I'm just not real keen on his game, I don't like his weaknesses, some of his weaknesses, I don't think can be fixed.

But moving on, I'm going to go ahead and talk about my number one quarterback. And like I said, I've said before on this show, my number one quarterback, I don't think Chicago should draft him. It's just what I see in this guy, I think translates more, and I think he could be better fit for certain things. I think this is a guy that's going to open up some eyes and could possibly be rework of the year if he goes to the right team, right situation coach, scowl, scheme, yada yada yada, so on and so forth. Bonix, University of Oregon, 6-2, 2-14, not ideal size, I get it. Pocket presence is one of his strengths. He's very precise with his ball throwing. He extends plays when he needs to, and he keeps eyes downfield when the pocket starts breaking down. He's not one of these quarterbacks that's looking for a way out. No, he's looking where the heck do I need to get this ball out because I'm feeling it. I need to get this ball out. I need to make the right decision. I love that about him, how he keeps his eyes downfield. And at that same time, it manipulates a defense. When that, when that coverage thinks they're about to get that sack, a coverage sack, some quarterbacks, all they need is just that little bit of time, move that safety, move that quarterback, yada yada yada, bam, big play, first down, stay on the field. That is something a lot of people don't give bonix credit for. This is a guy with a very quick release. Love that. The guy with good arm angle, he's got that Patrick Mahomes in him. Bad thing about him though, as much as I love him, this is a sideline quarterback. This is a guy that was always looking to the sideline, which place to call so on and so forth, wind to audible. That's one of his knocks, is they don't think he can do it himself, is he's going to have to always be looking or always in his ear what play to do, what to do, so on and so forth. He's not instinctual quarterback, not a field general is what they're knocking on him. His improvisation is what's going to hurt him too at the second level, but they also said that about Patrick Mahomes. They're saying that about Caleb Williams, they're saying about about Jaden Daniels. Improvisation has to be a part of your game, but it cannot be a liability as well, but they're also saying that for him as a bad sign and it's footwork. Can that be fixed? I think so. This is a guy that's played a lot of football. He played at two major universities at Auburn and Oregon. Love his game. I think he goes to the right team, the right game. This is a guy that I'm telling you is going to open some eyes. This is a guy that also does not turn the ball over. This guy only threw three interceptions in 2023, only three, and he threw 47 touchdowns. This is a guy that doesn't turn the ball over. That's another reason why I love this guy, Bo Nix. Like I said, he gets a lot of knocks and I don't understand why. They say he's old. He's as old as Michael Pinnix. Michael Pinnix doesn't get that type of jawjacking. They're saying, you know, he's played for different schools. Michael Pinnix is the same thing. A lot of people forget he played it in Indiana before he went to Washington. It's I don't get the hate on Bo Nix. I really don't. I think the guy can ball and I do believe he's going to have a great career. Hear me now. All right. My next guy. This is a guy that I don't understand why he's getting the love he's getting. I talked about it in that mock draft, the two versus two, you know, WrestleMania style mock that we did. And that's JJ McCarthy. People will probably say, see him. You already have a soft spot for Ohio State. You hate Michigan. Absolutely. But when it comes to draft processes, I put shit away. I have Jonathan Brooks is my number one receiver running back right now. And he's out of UT. I had to demonstrate sweat. I was one of my best no no tackles defensive tackle. I hate the Longhorns. In the draft process, I got to put stuff away. I got to give love to teams and their players. I'm high on Blake quorum. You can't tell me I'm a Michigan hater. If I'm high on black quorum and I'm not high on JJ McCarthy, right? His shoe has to go on the other foot, right? So you have to hear me out. Okay, six, two, two, 19. Another guy, six, two, two, 19. He's about the same size as Bonix and Bonix is getting knocked for being too small. So I don't understand that. This is a guy I'm going to talk about his good things. I'm going to talk about his bad things. It's like I am with everybody else. This guy is very clutch with his arm talent. I love that about him. His pocket agility. He's definitely good with that. His deep ball accuracy is there. This is a guy who outperformed CJ Stroud two years ago. Definitely. It's another thing that they're bringing up about him. Sometimes that's not always a good thing to do. It hurts him almost a little bit, in my honest opinion, because he's had a big year, rookie year in his NFL. So they're thinking, oh, just because he beat CJ Stroud in college and he's going to have a better year in the NFL his first year. Bullshit. This guy's clutch. I love that about him. He's a leader. His potential is there. I see the potential. Don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking him completely. I see potential. But here we go. Bad things. Placement. This guy doesn't always put the ball where he needs to. Of course, not everybody else does. But this is also a guy that didn't throw the ball very much either. His touching loft definitely needs to be worked on. He needs to know when to throw it hard, when to throw it soft, put some touch on it, put some air under it, so on and so forth. Yet again, this is a guy that only threw for twenty seven hundred yards at Michigan last year. That's not very much moving on. This is a guy I noticed a lot. He doesn't throw to the right boundary very often. I'm wondering if he has a problem with that. If that's a glaring mistake or glaring something to me, I can guarantee you the NFL people already know that for sure. He telegraphs his throws. This is definitely a guy who eyeballs his receiver. Definitely that's a red flag. I don't like it when guys telegraph to the receivers and look at them while they're going to throw it to them or look at them while they're under their route. It's a quarterback's dream. That's a free safety's dream. He's watching a quarterback just either receivers, man. Very raw. Very raw. Complex defensive schemes in college gave him problems. He's going to have problems in the next level for sure. He needs to learn not to progressive his reads, progress on his reads for sure. Learn when to go to the second and third reads for sure. His pre-snap diagnosis. Post-snap is okay, but pre-snap. It's a run-to-play. He never got out of a play or determined what or when or where where someone was going. Someone that's so far changing the play, so on and so forth. He did not do that very often in Michigan. They almost had the right play for him every single time. That's going to bite his ass in the NFL. You got to learn how to change the play. No one to alert, no one to Omaha, no one to do all that stuff that these good quarterbacks do in the game and change it up just a little bit. All right. Next, next guy. Michael Pinnick Jr. Washington 6-2-2-16. Yet again, another guy about the same size as Bonix and JJ McCarthy. NFL arm. This guy has it for sure. This is a field general. This guy has a precision arm. His mechanics are good. This is a guy that finds mixed mismatches, a field general. He's got that Peyton Manning to him. He goes, "My guy will beat that guy. I'm throwing it to that guy for sure." Pocket mobility, of course, he's a run threat, so his pocket mobility and deciphering when to go and when to move in the pocket, so on and so forth. He has that for sure. This is a guy with a short memory. Those in interception makes a mistake. He seems to bounce back. He doesn't get in that quicksand that you see a lot of quarterbacks do nowadays for sure. He ran a pro-style offense at Washington. Definitely, that translates. Does that mean success in the NFL? Absolutely not, but it helps for sure. Knox on Pinnick's is definitely is accuracy. Definitely something he needs to work on for sure. His injury, history, a lot of people will forget. He was seriously injured a couple of years ago. I want to say it was at Indiana. A lot of people are pushing that underneath, but with a scrambling, running style comp quarterback to dual threat, I don't want a guy that's got some injury history for sure. A lefty. I know I hate that. I hate that this is a knock, but you almost have to mirror your offensive scheme when you have a lefty quarterback. You have to have instead of a strong left tackle, you need to have a strong right tackle to protect his blind side. You're going to need to have receivers that are lined up more on the left side of the offense. It's weird. I know, but look at Toa. They kind of changed the offense just a little bit to him because he's a lefty as well. You don't see very many lefty quarterbacks nowadays, and I know it shouldn't be a knock. It really shouldn't, but it is, and I hate that, but it is what it is. I'm not knocking the guy for being a lefty. A slow release. Definitely, he's going to have to work on that as mechanics with his arm motion and stuff like that, but like I said, a lot of that stuff he can work on for sure with good coaching and snaps. Michael Pinnox Jr. out of Washington. Next guy, Jordan Travis out of Florida State, stands six one two hundred. I see a lot of Max Duggan in Jordan Travis in the system play. Very improvisation, improvisational skills for sure. Cool, calm, collected. I love that about him. He always, he doesn't seem to get too high. He doesn't seem to get low. I love that about him. He always stays even killed. This is a guy who's definitely a run threat. Great throwing mechanics. I love that about him. Discipline footwork. Arm talent is there, and he's very mentally sharp. I love that about his game. That thing about him is his footwork. Definitely needs to be polished. Arm strength is not exactly what you would want in an NFL star quarterback. This guy gets two hesitant F times. Definitely creates problems that turns into turnovers, sacks, so on and so forth. Ball security and recklessness, definitely. And that goes with the improvisation, right? When you're trying to go for the big play, when you're trying to make something happen at a nothing, that's improv. And guys like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and stuff have thrived on that. Of course, it's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing, and they want to get you out of the bad situations of improv, knowing when to throw it out of bounds, when to throw it at somebody's feet, scramble out of bounds, things like that. Definitely got to learn on ball security and not being as reckless, and that's Jordan Travis out of Florida State. Still a very, very good quarterback. My next best guy is very surprising that this guy is not as highly touted as he probably should. I love this kid, Joe Milton III out of Tennessee, stands 6'5", 235, probably one of the biggest quarterbacks. He's bigger than Drake May. And size-wise, if you want the prototypical 6'5", 230 quarterback, this is your guy, Joe Milton has the great size, the arm strength, the zip. He gets that ball out, pocket awareness, effective runner. This is a guy that don't mind running it and toting the rock fast release. This is a guy, though, bad things about him. He's inconsistent at times. This is going to be a 24/25 year old rookie next year. Post-snap awareness definitely needs to be worked on. And this is a guy that's predictable when he gets pressure around him. They'll say, "Oh, he likes to spin left whenever he starts the packet, starts breaking down," or he'll duck right, or someone and so forth. They start noticing what you like to do when the pocket collapses or when you're about to run. Guess what? There's going to be a linebacker spy on either side of you or they're going to learn your tendencies, what you like. I guarantee you the NFL will find your weakness and they will exploit it. But Joe Milton III, I think he's got very good. His upside is very high. I think he has a very high ceiling. I think this is a guy that could go possibly in the second or third round, but he's going to go to a good, he's not going to be a day one. He's going to sit on the bench. I hope. Some of these guys, I think all of them, probably even Caleb will be in hell. He's going to start day one and say he was probably Jayden and Drake. But some of these guys, man, it doesn't always translate starting day one. But I think Milton would benefit going to a good quarterback that maybe only has a quarterback or a year or two underneath their belt, i.e. in Atlanta. Learn from a guy like Kirk Cousins and he would fit that style of offense for sure. And learn from Kirk Cousins for a year. And Joe Milton III, I think with the right coaching tutelage, so on and so forth, this will be a stud in the NFL one day for sure. Next guy, Spencer Rattler, South Carolina, six foot to 11. I have a comp to him in Brock Purdy. I see a lot of Brock Purdy in him. Is he going to turn out to be of Brock Purdy? Time is yet to be determined. Experience is definitely something that this guy has tenfold. Same thing Brock Purdy did. Brock Purdy was a three or four year starter at Iowa State. Spencer Rattler's been a starter at every place he's gone. I know he's been at a different couple of different schools, but this is a guy who's got a great experience. He's got good arm strength. On the move, throws are very good. He's very good in pocket as well. Ball placement is good. He's very accurate. He has very versatile and his rapid release is very, very good. Size, definitely one of his downsides. This is a guy that loves to throw off his back foot way too often and that is definitely why he is getting knocked further and further down the draft stock. As someone with as much experience and snaps as he has, he throws off his back foot way, way too much. Mechanical inconsistencies. He definitely needs to work on that. That's another thing with experience he should not have that many problems with. And this is the guy that stares down his primary receiver way, way too often. That's another thing with the experience factor. He shouldn't be doing that as often as he does. And they're also saying he has hit his ceiling. He is not going to get any better. He's only going to be a backup quarterback in the NFL that he's gotten all the talent squeezed out of him. He can't get no better. As a lot of people are saying, I don't say that, but I'm just going off what I hear. And I see it though. Someone who's been playing for four years makes these rookie mistakes too often. And I could see it. I definitely can see why these people say that. One of my sleepers right here, man, I love this guy. Michael Pratt out of two lane, of course, two lane. Definitely have a soft spot for the Green Wave and CM's heart for sure. Sam 62, 217. Good pocket passer. He has sufficient arm strength. He's got that baseball arm. He's got that side arm type style. Eyes forward. Love that about him. Fluid throwing mechanics and a quick deep ball recognition. He knows when to throw the deep ball and he throws it fast instead of waiting on it. Decision maker. Risk reward. I love that about him. Tutt, he's very tough. Sorry. And he's very creative. I love that about him. He makes nothing out of something for sure or something out of nothing. Sorry, backwards velocity. He definitely needs to get a, you know, more zip, you know, he whipped that ball in there when he needs to accuracy outside the numbers. He wasn't very strong at an NFL. You have to be accurate and have strong arm outside the numbers or that ball's going the opposite way every single time. And in the red zone, he just makes too much mistakes. He gets too dependent on the first route. He doesn't, you know, get out of plays too many times in red zone. He calls it his team points and that's definitely one of his bad signs. Next guy. Hold on.

Phillip has just lost the respect of the youth league football team he coaches. He was asked what New England should do in the draft and his answer was objectively terrible. The athletic just wrote a great article about this, but Phillip doesn't have the athletic or the respect of a boisterous group of 11-year-olds who once looked up to him. Learn from Phillip's error. Get the athletic and get the info you need to speak draft fluently. Six one two eleven. Got a comp on him. He's got a J. Kainer in him out of Fresno State. I do believe he was yet no Orleans. I'm not mistaken, but kids got game. Sam Hartman's got a good arm. This guy can hit all over the field. He can hit every spot. Ball placement is very good. This is a Yak quarterback. Those receivers open. He lets his receivers get yards after they catch the ball. This throwing mushroom on the run when he's a runner definitely needs to work on that. They say it's one of his highlights, but he gets too dependent on the run. He wants to do the run to scramble and the bootlegs and all that, and I don't like quarterbacks that like to do that too often. That's why I'm not real high on Sam Hartman. This is a guy that needs to stay in the damn pocket, man. He's big. He's big enough. Six one two eleven. He should stay in the pocket just a little bit longer. He just gets too dependent on the outside the pocket stuff, and that just bugs me when quarterbacks do that all the time. I'm not saying he does it all the time, but he gets too dependent on it, man. Stay in the pocket. Learn your reads, pocket presence, when to move, where to throw it. So on and so forth, he's definitely going to have to work on that in the next level. This is definitely a guy I really, really like. He's creeping up on my board. Devin Leary at a Kentucky. Sam six one two fifteen. Another guy, an all over thrower can hit every spot on the field. He has elite accuracy in the short and intermediate routes. Very mental, very smart, another field general. A play extender. Love that about him. He throws well on the run. He has a quick release, and this is a natural leader. This is a guy that has played at two schools as well. He owes that NC State. I do believe it goes to Kentucky and it becomes a leader at both. It is what it is. Love that about a guy. Average arm though, this is downside. He doesn't have an NFL cannon, and his deep throws can definitely be worked on. He needs to learn when to throw him, how to throw him, and throw him better, because in the NFL, if they don't, aren't scared of you to take the top off of you, you get more predictable, and definitely he needs to work on that for sure. But this is a guy. I think he's, he's a solid guy. Devin Leary at a Kentucky. I love the guy. Moving on. Keaton Slovis at a BYU, stands 6-2-2-23. Experience. Another guy that's got a lot of snaps under his belt. Very accurate in this short middle to intermediate throws. This is effective eyes kind of guy. He's got that bonette to him. He keeps his eyes down field. He manipulates the defense. He moves that safety, so on and so forth. I love that about Keaton Slovis. He has impressive mobility. He's not, he doesn't look like he'd be very mobile, but he is. This is a pro-style college quarterback. This guy played in a pro-style offense. Translates a lot better. A bad thing about him, his arm strength is not ideal. His deep ball accuracy needs to be brushed up more on his durability, and his footwork are yet to be admired. But I do believe with a lot of those things, besides the arm strength, can be fixed. I do believe Keaton Slovis at a BYU could be a very good quarterback in the next deal. In the next level, this guy could be a late round draft. This could be a second or third day, fourth or fifth round type guy. You need a quarterback. Keaton Slovis, man. This could be a guy at a BYU. Let's see here. Phil Jerkovich at a pit, pit panther. Love this guy's size, 6'5, 2'35. This is a field general. This is a leader. This guy who limits his interceptions. This is a confident passer, and he throws. He's confident with his rhythm throws. He loves throwing and rhythm. He's very accurate. His arm strength is very good. This is a guy that can be a dual threat. He can run if he has to. The bad thing about this guy is he throws off his back foot too often. He extends, plays, mechanics mechanically wise. He's not good footwork wise when extending plays and getting out of the pocket, but that's also something that he can learn. I don't know. It's very different. Very interesting. I'm sorry, I should say. Sometimes he's slow in his progressions. He definitely needs to learn when to pull the trigger and pull it faster and when to pull it. You know what I'm saying? But definitely some of these things can be fixed on. I like Phil Jerkovich as well from pit. This is definitely a guy that is growing on me. Austin Reed, another guy that's growing on me at a western Kentucky. This is a pocket passer. Solid arm. This guy is good field vision, good pocket awareness, good pocket manipulation. This is a rack quarterback. Definitely will throw those balls through these receivers and let them get yards after catch. You know, run after catch. Whatever you want to say it. This is another guy with deceives with his eyes. You know, looks downfield, moves his safeties, move his linebackers, moves the corner base. Does what he needs to get the ball down the field to the right player. Very solid runner. You know, he is dependable if he needs to. Another guy that's a very good playmaker. Oh, sorry, playmaker slash game manager. Now you hear that a lot. You hear big time quarterback and then you hear game manager. It's one or the other. This guy rides that line very fair. He knows when to be a playmaker, but he also knows when to be a game manager as in a K a checkdowns, taking those small gains, throwing the ball out of bounds, throwing the ball at somebody's feet, not going for the big play. That is a great quality. Oh, sorry, that can translate into the NFL. Austin Reed, western Kentucky, loved that about him. And he's very consistent. This is a guy that, you know, his numbers never really went up or down. He stayed very consistent at western Kentucky. I get it. Definitely the quality of play is not as high as, of course, some of these other guys coming from, you know, bigger schools, but being consistent at a lesser known school can possibly translate into the NFL. And some of these things I've been naming about him make me like him even more bad things about him though. His long throw yet to be admired. He wasn't a doesn't have the cannon, you know, so to speak. Turnovers sometimes can bite him the butt and then his footwork and mechanics. Those are just the bad things about him. I think some of those things could be fixed. And I do believe Austin Reed at western Kentucky could be a good NFL quarterback. Next guy, Colin Schlee, out of UCLA, stands 6-3-2-25. Good ball placement. He is an effective runner when he needs to. He's effective and accurate. And this guy is an NFL arm. He can make every throw that he needs. That thinks about him though. His footwork decision making definitely needs to be worked on. Pro snap decipher. Oh, he needs to decipher defenses faster. He needs to process. He needs to read, react a lot better. Sorry about that. I cannot read him on handwriting sometimes. Yeah, Colin Schlee, another guy, late round type guy. I think he's got a good arm. Like I said, he's got a lot of good things and some of the things that are bad about him. I do believe he can work on. So Colin Schlee at a UCLA. Tanner Mordecai, Wisconsin 6-2-18. Ball placement. He's very good at that. Good quick arm. He is a qualified runner. He will run when he has to. This guy has a strong arm. He can make all the NFL throws. He needs. Definitely needs to work on his touch. Set his feet a lot better. He's got that Spencer Ratler in him, Sam Hartman in him. He doesn't set his feet as well as he possibly should. Definitely needs to work on his downfield deep ball and definitely polish that and then very inconsistent with his deep and downfield throwing. He's a little all over the place. But it's also, I do believe that was a product of his system. This was a first year system. I do believe Tanner Mordecai, that was like his third school. I want to say he played at SMU in Texas. I could be wrong. I know for sure that was his first year at Wisconsin and under our first year head coach, probably a first year offensive system. Maybe that just didn't fit what they were trying to run with Tanner Mordecai. This is definitely another late round guy that I like and goes to the right system, my coach. Tanner Mordecai could be a baller. Now, that was my sleeper, my guy that possibly won't get drafted or go unrestricted on and so forth as Tanner Mordecai. Now, there's a guy on my list. I did scout him, did all that. Supposedly, a top 15 quarterback, possibly could get drafted. He goes by the name of Tahlia Tagovailair. And I have him on my do not draft list. And if he ends up on your team, I am sorry. I just, I don't, I don't like him. All right, here's some of the good things. All right. He stands 510-200. That's another thing. He's a little guy. 510-200-pound guy. Quarterbacks don't last. Look at his brother. His brother, you know, was seconds away from me in six feet deep. You know, I hate to be a little overly dramatic about that, but he's little. Quarterbacks are little need to be protected and they're one hit away from, you know, riding with crowns the rest of their life. You know what I'm saying? You know, I hate to be joking about that, but it is what it is. I do not like his size. Good things though. I'm going to talk about his good things. He's got good release. He's got good accuracy on his short throws. Of course, he's a little ball placement is good. And this is another guy that's elusive, you know, coming to relate the pockets there, you know, nowhere to run, you know, so on and so forth. But of course, he's a little guy. He can't see over the offensive line. Bad things about him though, like I said, height, his arm strength. He doesn't have that NFL arm. He doesn't have his brother's arm strength. And that's why to us still in the game, his mechanics are shaky at best. And this is another guy that is a backfoot thrower. I do believe that's because he's short. He's having to run and he's having to, you know, create angles to not get sacked and these guys do not knock the ball out of his hands. You know, it is what it is, but I just don't see this guy making it in the NFL. His brother barely makes it. I know I'm a, I'm probably a to a hater. He's a lefty. He's small. Does he got a game? Yes, but he's also writing a lucky streak that you can end in one play. You know, Hell, Patrick, my homes can get hit in one play and be out for the rest of his life, but we've already seen it with to attack a violin. Literally, he had what three concussions in a matter of a couple months, a couple of years ago. I know he had a great year last year and great weapons. The dolphins were great. And all and I know he was a big contributor to it, but I don't want that risk on my quarterback. I don't want my quarterback to be one hit away from not playing football again. And I know it's, if you're scared, you know, when you're worried about being injured in football, that's when you get injured, you have to play free. You have to play almost with a free mind and not worry about getting hurt because that's when you do get hurt. I know it's a weird thing to say, but it's the truth. And like I said, I just, Talia, Teggavalo, Adam Maryland, I would not draft him. I'm sorry if I had my last pick and I needed a quarterback. And he's only quarterback left. I'm taking somebody else. I'm sorry. I just, there's just too much. I can't, I can't draft him. And if he ends up on your team and he ends up being a stud, you know, I will eat my words. But like I said, I go on our limbs all the time for people and I will bash people and I will pat people on the back so on and so forth. But like I said, I just don't see it in Talia. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong, but it is what it is. All right, guys, I'm coming at you in another 70 minute show.
