Jaguars Happy Hour Draft Preview: Boselli/Prisco

I'm in the backyard. Well because I didn't have uh as many books as you and uh Pete hadn't for the background, I mean, it's a it's a complete facade. You guys are trying to sell tho us that you actually read. I know Pete can't read. By the way, my picture there's my bobble head that my wife had made for me a couple of years ago. I don't look anything like me. You know what this is, though, Tony, This bubble head, just from being in this room knows more about the game than you do. So I mean

it has that much going. Well, you know what. You know why that doesn't look like you at all because it has a neck. But it's it's it's really a thin me little taller than you. Pete too, I don't know it is. I think I think it's I'm up to its waists when I stand there side. But let's talk Jaguars fellas. We'll get to the draft and your thoughts and what's gonna happen tonight coming up a little bit later, but let's start with the big news on social media this week, Unique and got Way and Tony

Cohn going back and forth on Twitter. It caused to stir certainly around Jacksonville. I know it did around in the league as well. When you have a co owner talking to a player during a contract dispute, Pete, that's always noteworthy. Well it's noteworthy, but it's it's not a good look for either side, to be honest with you. Um. But you know, Unique went in there and he was looking for a fight and he got one. So I think when you when you ask for a fight and

you get a fight, you're a little surprised. I don't think he was. He was a little shocked. I thinking, Uh, the bottom line is what are his options and what is he angry about? I asked that question all the time. What are his issues with the organization. If it was Tom Coughlin, he's gone, So what's his issue? Not like Doug Marone, he hasn't said take the money. He was offered eighteen and a half million dollars. When he take that right now? Probably not. He would be foolish if

he didn't take that. Well. I think the interesting thing is it's I think, yeah, you never like to look from either side, Pete. You're correct there. I think it was worse for Unique because if you're a team and you're watching this back and forth and engagement on social media. I'm not saying it stops you from taking them, but it's like, man, this is this is this a headache that we're gonna be taken on? And I've never known Unique to be that. That's why I was a litt

bit surprised by the interaction. Um but you're you and I on the same page. I mean, take the money, Um I I we've talked about this and and I'm curious. I'd like to know, Pete. Maybe you've heard, is the issue where they haven't moved them because no one's willing to give them the one that they're asking for. Or is it because no one's willing to pay unique what he wants. It's a combination in the two tony you have. I he's been out there, the rumors have been out there.

He's anybody wants to come get him. Nobody's coming got him. I mean because nobody's given up a one and something, and I think that's what they want, a one and something. And and because if you give up a one and something, then you also have to pay him. And if he's not happy with the eighteen and a half million they offered him here, what's he gonna be happy with in another spot? So I think it's it's working against him.

And in the end, I'll be honest with you, I think he's gonna have to be He's gonna have to play for the tag. And people say, well, he's not gonna play for the tag. He's made four of him right, he's made four and a half million dollars in his career and he can make a almost eighteen in one year. If he gets his place not to play, then his agents should be fired on the spot. Yeah, that's that's why.

It's the life changing money. I mean, that's the generational money right there, and that's why he should I mean, and we never really knew what the final offer was last year because there's so many different reports out there. But if he's you know, if it's an average of eighteen eighteen and a half nineteen million dollars with you know, fifty or anywhere near fifty guaranteed, I mean, that is like,

that's generational wealth. That and he's still a young man, and so if he plays well, he's gonna get paid big again. I think they overextended their hand a little bit, Tony. I mean, look, Fowler had eleven and a half sacks last year, more than more than he did, and he got fifteen I think, or fifteen or sixteen on an average. So Clowney was asking for twenty two and they left at him and he's way down now. So they over extended their hand. Now they have to go back and

try and regroup and get the a team. Pete Prisco Tony Boselli with US Jaguars Happy Hour rolls along. The other big topic this week before the draft at least, is the status of Leonard four Nette and is he a name that is under consideration for being moved before or during the draft. That was reported earlier in the week What are the chances of this happening Tony? Could he go before the draft? Could he go during the draft? Is this a done deal and we're just kind of

hearing about it? What do you think talking? Yeah, I think it's I mean, where they're smoke, there's fire in this situation. I think he is being shopped out there. Um. And again I think it's about the compensation. What do what do the Jaguars want? My guess is, uh, they're not getting higher than the three I wouldn't expect because it's his last year. I mean, maybe you can take the fifth year. Um, but you know, a third fourth rounder? You know, do you move him? If you're the Jaguars

he is in his last year of his contract. I do not see them if he stays taking that fifth year. And uh, I think, you know, I wonder what Leonard thinks. I mean, is it maybe just time for both sides to move on to another opportunity. But it would not surprise me at all. But I think the deal needs to get done before the draft because you know, after that then there's no the sense of urgency is not there any longer, because now you're talking about picks, picks

for next year. I'd give up a third for I mean I if they if some team offered the third, form might take it in an instant. Yeah, I don't think they get it. I don't think they'll get a third though. No, I don't either. I think it'll be a five fourth. Yeah, would you take a five for him? I don't know. If I would make him, might make him play the year. The problem is clearly you want to get them out of there for other reasons as well. Let's be honest, Well, there's all those reports that came out,

and that's not good either. I mean because you don't want uh, I mean because teams No, I mean it's not just it's you know, this isn't a static uh issue. I mean, it's when you trade for a player. It's not like all the stuff he was dealing with and you know, the issues the other team had with him disappear. It's not like all of a sudden, everything's fine now.

And so when that information starts, when you talked about and other issues and everything else, teams take all that no different when they than when they draft a player and want the background information off the field, how the teammate house in the locker room, YadA, YadA, YadA. Um. So it'll be interesting to see what what a team

would be willing to offer. But right now, I when you think about it, you got to the better players probably that you'd expect going into next year for your team, both on the training block, and uh, it's gonna it's an interesting offseason right now. Pete Prisco, Tony but Selly with US Jaguars Happy Hour un Draft Night. Eight o'clock the start time tonight for the NFL Draft first round, and the Jaguars have the ninth overall and twenty overall picks in this first round. I know that there's a

lot of picks before the Jaguars around the clock. Guys, when I ask each of you, though, what is your gut? What's going to happen at nine and twenty in a perfect world? People start with you for the Jaguars, well, are they going to be a lot of picks before they pick? That's a good question. I mean, would they be moving up to maybe go explore the possibility of taking a player they have their eye on. I mean

that's always in the cards too. They have ammunition, they have a ton of picks, and people will say, well, why would you go up? Well, if you have an idea you're like one of the quarterbacks, maybe you go up. I think that's a possibility. If they're stuck at nine and the draft board goes the way I think it will go, I think they'll have a decision to make between the corner probably C. J. Henderson or a Kuda, because people in the league like Henderson more than a Kuda.

One of the left tackles. I think that's gonna be their situation, or kid Law, and you keep here in kid Law. Kid Law has some stuff and his you know, injury issues that would be concerning. He plays high. I think he's got a great upside, but could they swing and take that chance with him? So I think they play it safe in the most scenarios, and I think they take C. J. Henderson slash left tackle who was

ever on the board. Yeah, I'm similar there at nine, I would say, you know, I think that Derek Brown, if he's there, will be there. You know, I don't think he's gonna be there. I think that's who they like. But we didn't think Josh Allen would be the seven last year, and he felt now because of a series of things. I pe, I get what you're saying, but I do agree. I mean, I think the corner is probably where they need to go and find some one

opposite Trey Herndon. They have a lack of depth at that position, the starting and they have a lack of starting caliber players at that position. UM. I'm still intrigued with these tackles. But I think it's a pretty deep tackle draft, and maybe in the second round a guy like an Austin Jackson from USC who's very talented. I didn't play up to the level of his ability while

at USC, but super talented. Uh, maybe you get a guy like that in the second round to fill that tackle position At twenty UM, I think they go and find someone who can score touchdowns for him. I think they need weapons. Um, And you know, I don't. You know, it's it's really hard to tell who's gonna be there. It's because when does the run on receivers start. I actually think the run on tackles will be first. Um, but wait and see. But I think it's a guy

who scores touchdowns. Tony, I know you haven't been as into this draft for obvious reasons as you normally have. You watched the tackles very little, Pete, just because you know, uh, just all the reasons, you know what I mean, with COVID and everything else, they're not having the access to the uh stuff that I usually would. Um. I've watched a little bit. I like the Beckham or Becca backup kid uh Louisville, just because I think he's freakish. His

upside is huge. Uh, He's such a big man. Positive at the combine. That's a concern though, not because he smoked pop, but because he was foolish enough to test positive at the combine. Right, Well, I mean that's an issue. I don't disagree, but I mean Larry Tunsel was had a gas mask on, you know, the night of the draft or whatever. Yeah, he's do just fine. Um. I mean,

Thomas is probably the safest of those guys. I don't know if he has the upside of the vectum from Louisville, but he is really good athletic playing the great systems of great conference against great competition, So I don't think you'd go wrong there. But I do think it's a deep draft. I'm interested to see where the kid from USC goes. I mean, obviously because I'm partial, and I watched him during the year. Um, I think he's athletic, but you know, obviously didn't perform at the level those

other guys did. Yeah, I think there's not much difference between the top four tackles, like, for example, if you took back the one or back in four. I don't think it would surprise anybody because Wills is pretty good. But he plays right tackle worst as good. He's played both right and left. I think he's a right tackle too. But then you dropped down you mentioned Jackson. I'm not sure he's going to the first round, Tony, you mentioned

being a project. I'll give you a name that probably will go in the first round, Ezra Cleveland from Boise And I went back and watch them against Florida State, because you know Florida State. You know you're sorry, I watched it. I watched it. He's good now, he's a good player player. Ye. So, but I think Jacksonville will take a tackle at some point in the first two rounds,

don't you agree? I I do agree, and I think that I think that a guy like Austin Jackson will be could be there at the top of the second um and maybe you take him there because I do think I think it's probably if I'm a betting man at nine, it's corner. I just think they gotta address that. And if Henderson or Acuta is there, I think they take one of those. Less Brown is there, Brown's are all better off. You're taking Brown. But your point, you know,

I mean, I'm saying, what are these things gonna happen? Right? I mean, I said last year, they take Josh Allen if he's there, but I didn't think he's gonna be there, and you know they took him. Um, And then I do think they go to guys someone who score touchdowns. You gotta get guys who score justin Jefferson might be there because I don't think that. I think the run on the receivers will happen like early twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen. The first three guys will probably go who

do you like best? Who do you like like? Rugs is he's Tyreek killed and you let me ask you this. Feet you're sitting in twenty Ruggs is on the table still at sixteen seventeen, trade Jacks go get him, Yes, I do. Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, here's I mean, this is a team we're talking about. Your unique might not be here. Leonard Fordett might not be Your Clays is gone. Um iford you know you tight end, but

it's a fifty fifty. What's gonna man? I mean, this is a team where some of your best players are gone or age or whatever, and you need to you need to hit on this draft and you need guys who can help you this year. If you expect to try to make a run and uh improve over the last year's schedule, think about this. If if jan is gone and for Nett is gone, the two of the best, maybe the two best players on the team are Alan and Taylor, right, yeah, no, I mean yeah they are

the obviously. Yeah, but I would say, I mean, if you're looking, okay, fair, yeah, okay, it's one of those three. Two of them are two of the more second year players. So the youth factor fellas. Thank you very much, Pete Briscoe's CBS Sports senior writer Tony WASSELLI proud of the Jaguars left tackle. Great to see you guys, and I think this is the first time I know we've all three of been on the air, but I thank you two of it on the air together since the season.

So thank you. Yeah, so Pete, I'll see you. Uh, I'll see you in uh seven months, seven months? Where's that? Yeah, that's when we started the show again. Isn't it six months? Five months? When do we start the show? Lose your ability to count to? Yeah, you're listening, No wonder why you no wonder why you're saying you're thirty pounds lighter. You're lying about that. You don't not account to thirty. Yeah, I gotta go see you see Yeah,
