Hangin' With The 'Boys: Predicting The Schedule

you're joining us today? What now? I was out there talking to the kids, they were doing the Walk of Fame and the young lads explaining the ninety two Super Bowl run to him, and uh, she had most of the details right, she was nine percent right. But I gave him some deeper, deeper feel, you know what I'm saying, to go out and give him a full body massage and let them know. So we we started a little late because the Draft show, and it's this is there

when they still don't know who they're gonna draft. The Draft Show, this is their week to show building. So we let them, We let them go a little bit over their their time allotment and then then we got delayed because we were missing a team member. The team member, no, no, I'm not makes the show go. We together the baby. Nate's out in the hall. You never know what you're gonna get when you tour the Star. Nate's out in the hall. There there was a group of what about

thirty forty kids. Yeah, yeah, they're gonna walk past a little booth. Men. You wasn't here yet, men, Kurt, They're gonna walk past the booming everybody but something one older lady gonna walk and they just looked at us like, you know, I'm like, now, these kids spoke. How do they being raised these days? You coming to a man's dough man at least say hello, right, good morning, a good afternoon something. They just walked on something is straight.

Nate couldn't let that slide. So Nate follows him out in the hall and I come walking up and Nate's just listening. Yeah, and then you had to give them some history, give some some breakdown history. Man. Okay, how are you doing? How was your weekend? It was great? Wasn't a Wison a second round pick? Darren Wilson? Yeah, look at that trade. Wow, wasn't they out on the second round pick? Wow? Where you're going? Where you're gonna

great second round picks from in the nineties. Yeah, Darryl Johnston, he was a second round pick. And I'm just saying second round pick, bro, that is the key round. I mean, I know y'all ain't talking about the draft, but are you said it's the key round? You saying trade back? Huh? Are you saying trade back? You know? What I'm saying is, don't get projects. I live in the MEI. If you can put what I'm saying, well, we're gonna get into the drink. You know what, Kurt, Let's do this, Douglas

put this on? Or someone who pushes the buttons where the cameras are. Who's signed the bottom of that? Mister Jerry Jones. Wow, that's sweet. So we have some draft magazines that we want to give away this week. Um, how do you want to do this? Kurt? Have them tweet you directly the show is fine? Probably tweet what's easier for you? Tweet the show and then and then tag Kurt And what's your Twitter handle? Kurt at DC

Star editor? Okay, tweet at hw TB and then tag Kurt in it, and Kurt's gonna pick a few lucky people to receive this autograph copy of the draft magazine that has been autographed by the one and only mister Jerry Jones upstairs. That's sweet. Let's give some of those away and buy you a copy if you don't have one, because that's gonna come in real handy whenever they start breaking these guys down and these guys start flying off the board, you'll have some some background on who they

are and what they're doing. And I think brought us got all but what three or four people in the magazine that that got drafted last year. Yeah, he covers a bunch of them. Yeah, if they're not in there, it's a surprise. Yeah, So do that go get you one. How was your weekend, Kirk? You know, had an odd weekend because our internet went out, so we went a whole weekend without like we have connected TV. How was that well? I was you have to actually talk to

the kids. Well I was fine. I wouldn't my kids went through withdrawal, I think. But it was interesting. So we basically had no TV, no internet. Was awful. It was interesting. What you do? Well, you know, hung out. We did have some DVDs, watch some movies, but had to go old to go old school. Yeah, wow, would you do, Nate? So yeah, what you're saying is it was revolting trying to be a family. No, man, I enjoyed it. We actually had fun. We got out and

did some things. We had a good time. It was just different because we couldn't rely on that's where the world has come to. The Internet went out, so for about three hours, everybody just staring at each other. I did have to explain to my kids that, you know, I grew up this way. We didn't have internet, but it was we had was acid rock, kicked the can We put canes on the bottom of our shoe. Mom, run down the driveway. Wow, what did you do, Nate? Anything fun? Exciting? I went out to roar An oak

Man and did a little autograph signing. Man, Yeah, how was that? That was pretty That was pretty nice? Man. No, people were pretty good. You know. You know me, man, I'm excited by well, but I go I got on the mic and talk to the whole story and when people walk by, Hey all you are my shoppers. Glad you can make it today. I hope you find what you need? That man, who is that guy? I'm like, you, man, I know who I am. I'm just a friendly greet that's all. Did you wear the vest? That put on

the vest. But but they gave me a bottle of water, right, and I didn't drink it. So I go to walking out the store and it goes like, whoa this big syreene. There's little guys in the wheel chairs. Excuse me, sir. Rob looked back at him. You do, I had it. He was shook to his knee. You're like, I said, hey, man, he didn't know what to say because he couldn't get

me if he wanted to get me. Count I said, nah, man, I just did an autographs signed oh misnoo and I'm sorry, no no problem, bro, But next time you make that little people go off him and do something to you. The mines got on about you. What'd you do? I didn't do much of anything. I just kind of laid around. Yeah, I knew what he did. You want some water? I some tea? Okay, I mean I know what he did. Calls for rehydration. I did go. I did go for

a run run man Sunday. Yeah, um, yeah, I had a few, had a few cold pops, a couple of Miller lights. Yeah wow, nothing nothing excess it. Well, what's on? What's so today? I thought we definitely got to get into the draft stuff? Um, I thought we just did a draft show. They did. Okay, we're not gonna get all We're not gonna break it all down now. Now we're just we're gonna get into it a little bit, probably talk more about what's going on this week than

than actually breaking down the draft. But something else pretty important came out last week since we had our show. They released the two thousand and eighteen schedule. Oh yeah, you know what I want to say it man, thank you? I mean, good time to look at what we're gonna We're gonna look at it with you, Nate. We've known who the opponents were home and away for a while, but we didn't know the days, the times, um and all that good stuff. So, Kurt, how do you want

to do this? You just want to walk through it and we'll kind of talk a little bit about each game and then yeah, kind of have our favorites the schedule that works for me. All right, This is the first time I ever seeing the first nine games are all home away, home away. No, no consecutive road or consecutive homement's odd. I've never seen them, not until what mid November? Yeah, yeah, so that's pretty So it's balanced, is what you're saying. I guess, So I guess you'd

call that balance. Okay, Well, what's the amazing thing now that I look at him, what's the most amazing thing about this schedule? Um, we're not opening up with the Giant right right? We opened on the road and close on the road. Yeah, kind of different. Well, will you have this great prediction that you had last year with the Giants being out last opponent this season would be decided on the last game, was him? Yeah, Eagle, the Eagles would decided. Okay, yeah, we all. All it did

was screw up our draft. That's all that decided, was that we picked nineteenth instead of like, yeah, well who do we open up with? Kirk at the Carolina Panthers Sunday afternoon? So we get Cam Newton right out of the gate, right out of the gate and Carol. I've never been to Carolina. No, I'm pretty excited. There's two two stadiums we go to that I haven't been to. Yea, Carolina. The schedule, that's gonna be a tough game. It's gonna be it's gonna be more than a tough game. But

I'm toime it's pretty there. I've heard that chance to go away. I've heard that all of the North and South Carolina just beautiful, man, always beautiful. And uh play what afternoon game? Afternoon three twenty five Central time? So yep, okay, i'me timing. We're home Sunday night against the Giants. Got him. The second game didn't open up the first game, big game. I just knew we were going to open up at Philly the season opens. You know, they made a point now where the last game of the year is a

division game. I'm kind of surprised they don't do that for the first game of the year. Two just kind of sparks out. I just knew for ratings like this, I like it like this, do you yeah? I like you know? I like for the division get closer, getting closer to two weeks when I'm playing one didn't have his headphones on. Hey, Douglas Man. The reason I didn't put on my earphones, it's caused not today all right after that or at Seattle again Sunday afternoon, three twenty five.

Always tough. Yeah, we're at Seattle. Yeah, they're being they're they're kind of being rebuilt. Kind of a down yeah, down a couple of years. But man, that place though, that you can't beat that place. Whatever they started this last season when it mattered, true, Douglas. What what's this big ball in here? Oh? No, is that a three sixty camera? Yeah, that's some sort of ATNT promotion. Okay, are we are? We all are? We all know we're not using it right now. It's just sitting in here

staring at us like a Star Wars. It is ball floating around, Okay, in like three sixty, but like only one side of this room's worth looking at the restaurant. Yeah, the cameras the opposite side from us. All right, Kurt? Who we got a fourth game at home, a noon game against the Lion, the Detroit Lions and Matthew Stafford. They'll slinging around. Then another night game. Let's see, that would be a Monday night game at the Texans. That's gonna be a tough one. Who we got man Texas

at the Texans. That's the Sunday game yep, Sunday game. I'm sorry. Yeah, tough, tough. That's the other statement. I've been there for the Houston Rodeo, but I've never been there for a football game. Man, Do not let Clowney and j on the Texas. Let let hopefully our offensive line is healthy, because if you thought Atlanta was bad, brother, I'm gonna tell you something. I'm gonna say something. JJ Watts.

That's gotta be the coldest dude that seasons Lawrence Taylor. Man, you think I know, yeah, I know one I played against and one I watched, and he still ain't been stopped on the injuries to stop J J. Wats. You know what a bad day is for him? What's that one sack full hits, philosses and several harassments to your quarterback. That's a bad day for J. J. Wats. That makes most people's season. Bro. I'll tell you what if you get if you get a chance, go look at that

draft class the year that he was drafted. It was him that up man, We gotta look at him, Tyrann Smith von Miller, No man, I think Cam Newton was in that class, No man, man, Yeah, look that up curl. Oh wow, that was probably one of, if not the top draft classes, well at least defensive wise. They wow, hey, current, get the check done? No, you bet you? What year was that? Eleven? Uh? Yeah, I think so. That sounds right, twenty eleven. There you go. What read off the first?

Cam Newton, von Miller, Marcel Darius, AJ Green, Patrick Peterson, Julio Jones, Wild Jones, Alden Smith, Jake Locker, Tyrn Smith playing, Gabbert J. J. Watt eleventh, Wow, Robert Quinn later Mike Pouncing, Ryan Kerrigan. That was that. That was a nice draft. That was not base defensive linement and offensive linement. They touched a little bit everything. Excel in. Julio Jones was a wide receiver, right, So how many wide receivers in the first top and half top fifteen? AJ Green? Who

do you, Joe? Oh my god, yeah, you can just stop right there. Yeah, that's pretty decent. Who did who went nineteenth that year? Since that's what we're Prince Mukamara. Oh yeah, I remember league speculation of Cowboys might take him that year. Yeah, I think they made the right choice. He was h Yeah, he was highly touted in that draft. He actually had a couple of what two or three decent years in New York. Yeah, it was only decent. Luckily they had a pass. If they wouldn't do it,

bad bad news. Yeah, all right, Kurt, who do we have after we go to uh? I don't say it. After we go to here, don't say it. Back home Sunday afternoon, three twenty five game against the jagu Not an easy game, not a pushover anymore, not not not the butt of the jokes of the league because it'll be strength on strength our offense versus their decent defense. Barry Church will come back to AT and T Stadium, So all right? Next week at the Redskins, another three

twenty five game. Mhm, never easy. I think that's where Daz is going? You think so? I think? So? Where do y'all think he's going? Man, I don't know. Redskins wouldn't be a surprise. He's been working out with O. B. J Up in New York for the last week. But that's what I heard. I heard they came out and said we have no interest in him at this. Did you imagine those those things on those two together? Can

you imagine all the drama exactly? Yeah, on the field would be awesome off the field, I don't I don't know so much. Where do you think he's going, Nate, you got any opinions? Keeping them yourself? Baltimore big player in Baltimore is called I don't care. You don't play with the Dallas Cowboys. Don't care? Okay enough, fair enough. Let's see after the red Skins they have the bye week. What week is that? Eight week? Eight? Right right in the middle of the schedule. That's nice, come back home?

They play that night game? That must be. That's this Monday night game against the Titans, the Tennessee type. Not not a pushover anymore. Nate, would you rather have a bye in the middle or towards the end of the season when you play, you like a rut in the middle? First the first will be the middle, and then you know, you can't never foresee what's happening. But if you have a lot of the injuries, then round about the twelfth week so you can get healthy and make that run

for them last four games. But your first choice would be in the middle of the because you know, you go you you're taking a deep breath, yeah, you know, after eight games you're halfway home. You're taking a deep breath and now you get you guys healthy and at that point if everybody been healthy. Now you take a deep breath, gather yourself, re scout, and go to work. Yeah. When you when you twelfth week is it could be nice? Yeah? You know when you played, did you on the bye week?

Would you get a little trip, a little R and R in or would you stay around? I'd be here working out because I was I was a hungry eader all the time. Yeah, so I had to, you know, watch my weight all during the year, so I would not go out of town. So you would, so you would work out? Yeah, so you could eat? Yeah, that would be dead, instant death. All right. So I got after the Titans on Monday night. Then the meat of the schedule comes up. Now you're at back to back weekend.

You got You're at the Eagles Sunday night, followed by at the Falcons the next Sunday noon. So Sunday night at at Fletch Cocks at Fort your Cocks, and you're back at the Falcons the next week. So we're away and away in a way. Bro. That's the first the first time it doesn't switch up against two tough teams at both the Birds, did you come back with who? And you're back that Thursday against the Redskins. That's gonna

be thanks man. That that and you know it was I've listened to all the experts in and they think we got an easy schedule. I don't see that. I see what they see. You know, I really don't what what's your take on the Kurt? No? I agree? I think. I mean, the AFC South could be tough with the Jaguars and Texans, and I don't know, you never know about Tampa Bay. They kind of come in the Titans of showing some stuff too so and then you go what you think at the NFC South, which is could

be one of the toughest divisions out there. Yeah, finish, finish it out, okay, Redskins on Thanksgiving. Then you're back that Thursday night against the Saints at home. And you got a little mini But I say, Camara is a camaro because he rides hard. Oh oh my god, man, that's a Let me tell y'all something, man, What our schedule will be decided in week ten, eleven, twelve, third

team fourteen. That decided right there, bro After that's saying you're back home against the Eagles, you mean French and Cox spread his wings out over at and T Stadium. You know you can't mention the Eagles without Nate talking about, well, I'm right here and this is gonna be been a second year. The guy to Tennessee the thirteenth pick last year, so he should he he should not only be a pass for unser specialist, but he should see more time.

This dude got a motor, bro people said people people wondered about his flexibility and turning the corner and you know with that Ben and lean. Uh, but one thing to a man, he's got a motor that's undeniable. And uh, last year, you know, we didn't see a lot of him. But this year coming different story. He may he may press for that starting job. If you survived that gauntlet, you've got a couple of easier Hopefully you're at the Colts noon game on December sixteenth. Hey, that that weekend.

You know who's we're going to Indie. You know who's playing in Indie. Justin Timber late coincidence, did play Jerry's Hall of Fame party. Gonna get backstage or you I wish? And after the culture back home last home game of the year noon game against the Buccaneers on December twenty third, which I don't think that's gonna be a pushover either. When Jason Pierre Paul, he gonna push that defense. I think he'll take it to another level. I really do. And the regular season wraps up with a noon game

at the Giants on December thirtieth. If if they go out and get Barkley, there'll be the in draft a offensive lineman that a high caliber offensive linement that can can learn this game quickly, they're gonna be They're gonna be something to deal with when they got the second pick. But if they if they take a quarterback and they don't take it, ain't no offense, ain't but one office a linement. You're looking at them to take it that spot. And that's the kid from Notre Dame. You know you'll

be taking he. You know, I don't know if he's worth the second pick, but you need office a linement. Yeah. And uh, if you don't get Barkley, you don't get you don't get him Quentin Nelson the Garden. Yeah. Man, so we got five prime time games. Let me ask you, let me go down this list, and you guys chime in here and tell me, tell me if you the team that I say has the potential to make the playoffs, if you think they could possibly be a playoff team.

The Panthers, yes, yes, the Giants get no nope, Seahawks no, okay, Lions yeah, I do, okay, Texans yeah, Jaguars definitely, Redskin ends, I don't know, maybe okay, Tennessee yeah, okay, yeah, because they got better last year. Eagles absolutely right, Falcons they're coming back, the Man Redskins again, Saints, jew Brees, and that what is a kamara kamara chevallet uh indy, A man is just beginning back this year and he may I ain't play a whole season. But Tampa, that's a

wild cardold car, that's a wild card. We'll give them a maybe. Yeah, and then the Giants again. By that time, they'll be playing good at Giants. So you got nine teams that could be playoff teams and two that possibly could. Yeah, and then you got you gotta play the Eagles twice. So you're looking at ten, ten to thirteen. I see where everybody's saying, this is an easy schedule. I don't

get it. And then the ones that you're saying are are not playoff teams at Seattle, I don't care if they're having an office or not playing in that place is insane. And then you got at Indy Weill. Hell, you don't really know if Andrew Luck comes back and he's his old self at their place, and then you know the Tampa Bay, I don't Yeah, and at the Giants, that's always if he So I don't know, man, we don't know what happened to Nate. He just walked out the door. He either had to go to the bathroom

really bad or like he just walked out and fish. Yeah. Well it was either that or as I got to go, it was one or the other. But he gone. So I don't see this schedule being easy. Well, I'm sure we'll get into it a little bit more as we go and probably give our predictions, but um, I don't see it being a walk ofpe Yeah, hopefully you hope those last three or relatively easier and put those middle Yeah, six or so are they have for another year in

a row. They have the back to back Thursday night games, they have the Thanksgiving game, and then a thing it's like three years in a row, and I think it is three years in a row. So they have at Atlanta on the eighteenth of November, home against the Redskins on the twenty second, and then back at home again on the twenty night that night game versus New Orleans. Man, I wish that New Orleans a game was on the road. That's such a great trip. That's year old stopping people. Yes,

all right, let's take a quick break. When we come back, we'll get into some of this draft talk, since that's kind of a thing here in North Texas. This week on Hang You with a Boy.

What are your thoughts on the schedule, Nate? Nate wanted to know what you thought, Douglas? What do you think about the schedule? I think these days you have no idea what waits. Everything you think is going to happen. Every

team you think is gonna be good. I mean, we think the Eagles will be in the playoffs, but they Douglas, answer the question, what do you think about the schedule? I don't have any expectations for it. Doug Us on TV, Oh there I was. Don't have any expectations. You suck today. We give you a chance to voice your opinion, and you have you don't have one. Well, it isn't to cut your mic off? Cut your own mic off? Ah, Okay, all right, what's going on down over here on Thursday

kurtwn T Stadium. It's gonna be crazy, big draft coming up. I heard that they are expecting two hundred and fifty thousand people. Yeah, you know, I drove by the stadium this weekend and it's crazy how much they got set up just outside. Yeah, it's it's gonna be a party for sure. Two hundred and fifty thousand people. That's just sending on I like to think about it. Is Dallas turning down to Dallas Cowboys to build a stadium. Urban turning down to Dallas Cowboys to build a stadium makes

me sick. Has just laughing. They got not one, but two stadiums, right, brand new ones. Yeah, wow, Dallas, you don't want it. Bring it out here, Yeah, bring it out here. We'll be we'll be the fun city. We'll have all the fun out to make history, make some fresh and new history. I'll tell you what that place they're building something For those of you that don't know they're they're rebuilding the Rangers Ballpark, which by the way, is still one of the nicest ballparks in Major League Baseball.

They're building it basically right across the parking lot and they're building a some kind of live or something. Kurt. Yeah, it's just a little entertainment districts. And yeah, if you've ever been to like I think Saint Louis has one like that. I think Philly has one where it's a it's probably it's in one big building and it's probably a group of about what twelve or fifteen restaurants and

bars under one roof. And it's going to be right there in between at and T Stadium and the Rangers Ballpark, and that's going to be a nice little entertainment district. It'd be good for Cowboys fans too, and they be good. Yeah, be honest thing about Dad Dallas thinking about all right, the draft two hundred and fifty thousand people Thursday, it's going down. There's going to be all kinds of stuff.

The setup is, I believe they're having the stage about the thirty yard line, I believe on one end of the stadium, and they're opening all that up for fans that and then they're opening the doors right and then all the setup is that it kind of spills out into the plaza and then the parking lot across the street. They have all that blocked off and that's kind of where it's all happening, right, That's right. Yeah, they'll have a lot of across the street in the parking lot four.

I think it is. It is where a lot of the displays, the Hall of Fame stuff, games, that kind of thing will be out there, but it all, it all just kind of flows into the plaza, which I think is the West or East Plaza, and then yeah, those doors will be opened and right there will be the Draft. So they're expecting the largest crowd to actually inside to see the draft. But then even attending outside

is supposed to be here. Yeah, and aren't they doing it where each section's a different team, right, Like you registered for tickets online through some lottery and if you got them, your team's section as a certain section all the way around. Yeah, that's right. Even right, even though it's being hosted by the Cowboys, Cowboys don't get any more tickets than every other team. So yeah, eight million people that want to call me, Yeah, this is this

is ran by the NFL. Dude. I've had more people ask me for tickets to the Draft than I have the fifteen years I've been here. Probably all the games combine, and it's like it's an NFL event. It's just like the Super Bowl. They come in and take over the stadium. We have nothing to do with it. Did you refer them to the free ticket lottery? Oh absolutely, I did. And then they were still like, yeah, but do you can you get me? Can you they are free rigging

are coming to me? Yeah, because well it's a lottery, so they're not guaranteed tickets, so that that was the whole deal, as they wanted to make sure that they that they had a seat. So, but it's gonna be something else, man, the setup. You know, I would expect nothing less from from you know, this team, this family. It's gonna be awesome and everything from this stage to the green rooms to all that the fans, it's gonna

be a lot more I think interactive and just playing bigger. Yeah, two hundred and fifty thousand, I can't that blows my mind. We were in Chicago when we drafted Zeke, and I think they had sixty or seventy in Chicago, maybe maybe fifty, and it was it was crazy. And they had even more in Philly, right, they had like seventy five thousand, hundred thousand, so double that. That's I can't get my

head around that. So who we drafting Nate? A player that can come in and give us media not twenty yeah right, Yeah, And I was talking to Douglas, I don't want to receive from man. No, it is, But everywhere this draft points right to a receiver. Even when I talked to the guys you know that keep up with the Cowboys ex players and stuff. You know, even Diana sounds, I'm like, prime man, what you think man?

And this thing points to a wide receiver. I'm like, please, yeah, I don't want I was the Morning News did a thing where they've kind of collected all the different mode drafts and who's picking where they of that group, they had eight of those these experts. I thought the Cowboys would take the vander ash the linebacker. Yeah. Wow, that's nice to hear. Eight more thought they were going to

take Ridley, the wide receiver from Alabama. Nine thought they were going to take the DJ Moore kid from Maryland, the wide receiver, you know. Eleven, which I don't this surprised me. Eleven of these guys thought they were going to take the SMU wide receiver Portland Sutton. What Yeah, in the first round. There's more than there needs to be, that's for sure, you know what. Another ten thought they were gonna take that Darien Pain, the defensive tackle from Alabamama.

You know, what's amazing is and maybe maybe I'm wrong, you know, uh with his wide receiver deal, and they do get him and he come back, come in and really have a big impact. But I still think if you're gonna go into the playoffs, you got to have that player that has that capability. And I'm not saying the guy just gonna come in be a rookie dominated league, but you got to have that guy that can make that play right defensively to give you that extra possession

to stop a drive. Uh, you know, maybe d Lawrence is that guy that's gonna give us that play. Maybe Sean Lee stay health in and give us that play, you know, maybe David Irvan say, you know what, I'm I'm gonna get a cowboy or something. Really think about next year, you know, Uh, maybe Collins you know, can adjust to that one technique if we don't draft somebody that can, uh give him a shot at competing at the three technique again. You know, so maybe Jalen, maybe Jaalen.

You know, it's healthy enough and instinctive enough, you know, but we need the playmakers. I mean, we need a guy on defense that that has that potential, you know. And I'm like I said, I'm not saying a guy can just come right in out of the out of college and and turn out program around. But I just defensively, you can't every year think that your offense, Oh, offene is gonna told us, offense is gonna told us. Sometimes you're gonna need some type of defensive help. So I'm wow,

saw that last year need help? Yeah? What do you? What do you what's your gut? Tell you, Kurt, what what do you? Well? I'm like Nate, I think that they need to grab defense, and in particular linebacker. It seems like there's a pretty good crop of wide receivers. Yeah it is. Yeah, I'm with you. You could almost if you're gonna go wide receiver. I think you could almost trade down a little bit and still yeah, still pick up a DJ Moore and maybe get an extra

draft pick like that. But I don't. They already got ten, so they may not don't want to do that or not. But I worry about the defense and whether that's um Ben vander ash or Rashaun Evans or you don't have that Vida Vey guy via how you pronounced it. Yeah, I mean, if he's there, you got rope you got Smith, that's the top dolls. You got Rashad Davans, you got Josie Joel, you got the vander ash guy. You got a guy can pronounce the usc as senior. And you

got Maligue Jefferson. Maligue Jefferson, the grim can kid out of Central Florida, guy with the bad hand. You you got to have a special deal for him, you know, you you I don't know if he's four three guy, three four guy, but he can't. He's gonna find out. It's gonna be hard to take on guys in this league, you know, in his situation. I'm not saying he can't do it, because he does. He's gonna be the most talked about her. Yeah, and Revere guy in the world.

We all pray for him. He's a little bit more of a risk. Yeah, you're worried that the Cowboys already having risks. Yeah, we don't ever do that. And Malilie Jefferson out of Texas man, he can run, he can fight out run. But well, Broadness's role is he get he get hooked. H he get hooked. He gets hard for him to get off blocks. But these other guys, everyone we talked Smith Edmonds sew Evans Welles, Saint Josie's well g e w el, I'm gonna called do Josie

wells Uh. These other these other guys ahead of Malik. The's different guys. Even even Griffin, they different guys. They they guys that just get out flat and they can make adjustment. They can. They'll come into the league and you may mess with him in the first four or five or six games, you may fake them out a little bit with the little movements, but after that they ball hawking bro and uh it sounds like that Evans Vandersch. A lot of people think they're gonna be there if

the Cowboys want to take him at nineteen. Yeah, but you know he he the knock is one year, right, It's almost like here's another project. Yeah, they're not real sure. Yeah. The greatest thing is he lay one year. You know that that you look at it two ways with me. And that's where I think, if we're gonna go in the second round, where once again, uh guessing because all these guys are guests, but some of them a little

bit sure than others. But if we're gonna spend a second round on a guy that okay, well, he fell out of the first and man, uh he got a little slight problem. Let's package that up and move up to about number twelve, you know, and wherever we can get because a lot of these teams ain't giving it up. A lot of these teams are already gonna trade it to move up. At first eight nine picks, the folks ain't moving right. They prayed at a quarterback dropped in him.

You know, so would you move up for that safety? What was it we got in Florida state? Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. If you get a minute, go listen on the Draft show right before us today, they went through and and brought us, went through picked by I picked the first round of who who was going where? And it's actually really a really good listen, if for nothing else, just so you familiarize yourself with who these guys are, where they may go, and how high they kind of

have people on boards. And he brought us, had us taken vander esh at nineteen that he had Derwin James was off the board several picks before us. But it's a good listen if you if you go listen to the first part of the show, it's it's it's really good and give you some insight kind of on on where these guys might fall. So it seems if they do move up, it might be for this Derwin James. Yeah, yeah,

I'll tell you what. As you were you were talking about Malik and these other guys, think about our our defensive line. You're in a pretty good spot this year. I mean, if you think about how in shambles this line was two years ago. You got DeMarcus Lawrence on one side, right, you got you know, Tyrone Crawford. That's that's a workhorse that you know, probably could produce a

little bit better, but he's still a solid player. You got a couple of guys that when they've been able to get on the field, they've been great, Malik, Charles Tapper, David Irving. So I mean you got a lot of right, I don't know if Tapper whatever, he's been so banged up, but yeah, Irving, Kyle, you'd like to see a full season out of him. And Collins was so good his rookie year. He might have had a little bit of

a sophomore slump last year. Let me see this right here, and this is this is what makes me laugh Okay, the top guys Denzel Wore, meek Up, Fitzpatrick, Mike Hughes, Josh Jackson, the kid out of our Carlson Davis, Jared Alexander. This is this is what makes me smile is Denzel war Mica Fitzpatrick, Uh, Mike Hughes, and Jared Alexander. All four of them guys ain't going in the top ten picks. Right. Okay, you go to the linebackers we just talked about, Uh Smith, Uh.

Who's the other guy Tremaine? Uh? Johnson? Uh? And then the other guys Uh, I can't think of that's that's six guys. That's those six guys ain't all going before we get to number nineteen pick right, All these guys ain't going. One of these guys gonna fall to us. Some of those guys you mentioned there are cornerbacks. Do you think they're gonna go to the cornerback again? Up? Last year day something? Man, If you're not gonna get your linebacker and you're not gonna get you, you overload,

you know, pizza, that's crazy. Not not when you ain't, not not when you ain't You know, do you do you believe in Anthony Brown? I love him to death, homeboy. Everything. We took a step back because the coaching. Did he did he lose some confidence or did he get exposed? We don't know yet, We don't know. You can never have enough corners, You never have too many. Thank you, Rocan Smith, Tremaine Evans, Rashaan Evans, Josie Joel and Vander esh.

You think all of these guys, that's six guys. You think all of them going in the first round, that's six. That's twelve. Now we've picked up at nineteen. That's twelve guys I just mentioned. Okay, not counting the four quarterbacks we know going in the top twelve. Just thinking about you can't everybody don't need a quarterback. So some of these guys gonna drop down. And everybody that Stunn moved up, they moved up a month ago. They ain't giving up

their position. And lets you say, okay, I'm give you my first this year, next year, in the year out there, that's already gonna get that up. Yeah, so you got a running back in four quarterbacks you know, going in the top ten. Mm hmm. That's gonna leave how many

positions open? And if you can't fill them out. We're gonna have a guy gonna fall to us that can play, because you know, out of the the nine picks that are outside of the top ten, there's gonna be somebody that drafts somebody based on need instead of best best player available. So that's gonna drop another one down to All I'm saying is when this guy dropped us, is

there everybody gonna get them to say? Nine fellas. I know we may have wanted the wide receiver Hill, we may want to just this guy is the best week that this is the O guy. Now you should sure everybody to us and Lord Jesus, we come. I'm serious. I'm serious. Now, somebody gonna fall in this draft because and you know, the only thing can make it better. The only thing would have made this draft better for us two things it would have lost the Eagles, which

I don't subscribe to losing. That would have moves up to fifteen are Deshaun Watson when another got hurt and Lamar Jackson would have been gold. Lamar Jackson would have been gold. You hit me, Let's take our final break, and when we come back, we'll have to give one of them Church moves again. You know, how you put your hand up and go out to the church.

So we are back and we were having a discussion off the air what you think is going to happen? And we're just talking about hypothetical Yes, that's what we do on the show as we're dealing hypotheticals. And we were just looking at the players that are going to go before us, the players that are going to go after us. Would you stay put?

Would you would you package anything to move up? And man, I tell you what, just looking at the board and the way things may play out with all these you know, all the like Nate said, all these quarterbacks are gonna go before you. There's a running back that's definitely going before you from everything you're hearing. Bradley Chubb, the defensive end is going before you. Mica Fitzpatrick's going before So as these guys go before you, these other guys were

starting to fall. I think you've got, just my opinion, a handful of guys that are about the same talent level at different positions that you could move back several spots. This may be the year that I pulled the Patriots move and just trade back and go from ten picks to fourteen. In hell, you gotta hit something right in the later round. Man, This ain't this, ain't it. This ain't losing a lottery. Brother. We got fans, hearts and

souls we're dealing with. So what do you are you staying put at nineteen eight or I'm staying put because I think I think a player would drop, you know, to to you. But if Denzel Ward is sitting at fourteen, I gotta get green bell call, just gotta see looking at man. I gotta first and whatever and whatever. You know, first and the fourth. Man, you know there's trade picks and you know if that's fall in that way, you know, I gotta first in the third for you on this kid,

if if that makes sense. I don't know how to draft what equals what? But Denzel Ward is a guy that I would try that weird or called the red Skins. They may not want to deal with us, but hey, man, what would it take us switch spots and I get you a third or fourth. You know what I'm saying. And let's see, you know, And like I said, I don't know the values of these drafts, so I'm just throwing something out there. But those are two guys, Tremaine Etmans and Denzel Ward are two guys that I would

you know, I would move on. But Kevin Ridley, I'm not doing it. I'm I'm I'm move up for what right? I think the wifety might be the only one I would move up for, you know, but for what I mean. Everything gonna fall just as you needed the own. And like I said, ain't none of Quinton Nelson. He ain't falling nowhere. Uh Barkley, he ain't falling nowhere. The only wild card that I see broughtest them guys is Lamar Jackson.

That's a wild card. You know nowhere he's going. But about the day of the draft, will know, we'll know if they started making runs on these quarterbacks and people, and you saw getting rooms where people trying to bump up, trying to make things happen, they'll gobble these guys up. Even the guy from from Oklahoma State, Mason, He'll you'll find he'll be in the first round. He'll mess around

him be in the first round somewhere. I'm being honest. Yeah, because every this ain't basketball where you get two and three years the tank. This football where your fan base will really come at you for not trying to win. You know, Cleveland, Cleveland filling that pressure right now? Yeah? Yeah, what would you do, Kurt? You stay and put you

moving up? You're moving back? Um, Like I said, I think I'd only move up for the safety if he got close to the tenth or you know, later in the because you know, I've been hearing about the kid from from Seattle or the safety Earl Thomas. You know, Okay, you got to give up a first and first and or third maybe a first in or four. But you gotta sign him now, right. He ain't that nice guy. It ran over and hug Jason ain't gonna be nice

when he will get time to get his money. Yeah, so you got a him at least for three years. M So you gotta get him some type of signing bonus guarantee money. If you took the money, or if you knew you could sign him, would that be worth it? Would you rather have a first round Earl Thomas than or you know, a top earl Thomas in the first round draft. It depends on what we gotta give up. Yeah, I think they want to visit the second or third.

They're asking a lot. If they want to first in a fifth and I can sign him, you're doing it. I'm doing it. But if you want to first in the second, up, first and third, Now, let's package this first and second up and go get get get out or Denzel, let's go get him. Let's go get him, because, like I say, the Cleveland Browns, the Buffalo Bills, the Jets, the Cleveland Browns again, the Broncos, the Colts, the Bucks, and the Chicago Bears. Those eyes ain't going no where

unless you sell your soul. Them first eight guys I just mentioned ain't going nowhere unless you're witting to sell your soul. Yeah, we don't want to do that. They might, I don't think they got that crazy. Somebody gets aunty. The only thing that I think the only reason they would is if mister Jones wants to make a splash, since you we're hosting it. But I've got a little reputation as willing to take a risk, true saying Denzel

Ward ain't Denzel is. Denzel is the darn James who's projectedly go ten to the Raiders, and the Raiders are looking to get back defensively. So you you you got to give a first in a second for the Raiders to get at up. Yeah, a lot. Yeah, Well it'll be interesting. We'll be here. Where are you gonna be? Kurt? You be here? I think here? Where are you at? Nate? I'mna doing a lot of radio, a little bit of TV. I'nna be loving Are you here now? I'm not here.

I'm gonna be loving this because I start tomorrow night and go all the way to Sarad to morning. May. Well, next Monday, we will have we should have a lot. It's a lot to talk about. We will have some stories. Well, we may try to get a special guest on here. I don't know who that would be, but let's try to.
