with the first pick in the

2024

NFL

draft

, the Chicago Bears select Caleb Williams quarterback in Southern California, there is a joy of Detroit for Caleb Williams hugging his family and is the first overall pick in NFL

draft

, kid who went from Oklahoma to USC when his coach Lincoln Riley went there, followed him to USC, immediately won a Heisman Trophy last year, it wasn't the way he wanted it to go in terms of wins and losses and things of that nature, but his talent is undeniable and Bears fans, yes, he's about to do it. Put on a bear hat and introduce yourself to the world and head down Michigan Avenue.

He may not have run a strong one in Indie, but he's running one here. I mean, he's flying there. Be excited to start this journey when you see all the things. that come with Caleb Williams, people have talked about the nail polish and the glitter, he already knows the way he dresses and he made so much money at zero. I can tell you from experience that this guy has a competitive fire in his eyes and ever since. I talked to him as a true freshman when he was at Oklahoma, this is what he's been dreaming about not only right now but being the number one pick, this has been his goal, he wants to go to an organization and like he told me, change the culture he wants to be that driving force for the Chicago Bears remember remember the name Johnny L Jack Johnny Lujack was the last great fourth excuse me Sid Luckman that's the name of the last great quarterback the Bears had that was consistent Sid Luckman you gotta go A long time ago, they thought they had it in Jim McMahon, it didn't happen except for one season, when they won the Super Bowl, they thought they were going to get the long run, this is where they think the long run .

The race starts here with Caleb Williams when I ask the guys in your personnel department what they learned about Caleb Williams from the end of the season to the time they actually spent time with him so far and they said a couple of things, the number one. I talked to all his teammates at Oklahoma and at USC and they love him, that's right, that was the first thing, the second thing was I don't know if anyone has had more noise and more chaos around them, more negative attention and he was so focused . he didn't deviate, it didn't even bother him, he just got over it.

It's a little ironic that his career starts to get booed by 150,000 people here in Detroit. Detroit has been booed often in his career, but he better get used to it. Of course, it will be up to him to calm the crowd, as Bears fans hope he will at the helm of an offense that features DeAndre Swift. and Keenan Allen, new at number one, is no longer a prospect. Caleb Williams is a pro and the next quarterback for the Chicago Bears and as he makes that walk, he high fives Jaden Daniels, who could very well be next to make that walk, but Caleb makes the hug Roger Goodell and he will become the future of the Chicago Bears, and this is a guy who has been in the spotlight at USC and who has been in the spotlight of college football since he took over Midway. 2021 season replacing Spencer Rattler as a member of the Oklahoma Sooners Then he followed Lincoln Riley to USC and now you get that burst of emotion, the scream, the hug and that's with this moment, that's what tonight is all about, the celebration after all the drama. the intrigue the mystery the chaos Caleb Williams is actually the number one overall pick and he's headed to Chicago.

He's drinking some water with his personality or whatever. I like what I just saw from him. I like the energy he has. brings to the table and you have to remember something here, he's a creative playmaker, he says it right there, he's Twitchy, he's the home run hitter, but what you're seeing with Caleb Williams is he has the dramatic ability to be a playmaker in the pocket and a playmaker outside the pocket, he puts good air under the deep ball, as you can see here, that deep touch is something that sets him apart, the elite arm, the talent, the ability to throw through the body, which normally won't be a big deal.

The

quarterbacks

coach likes a lot of things, but he can get away with anything. He has the ability to reset on the move and create a new pocket outside or just throw it while he's on the move throwing left and right and finally the ability for him as a dynamic runner. says right here and I agree with this, his Bucky ability to not only win inside the pocket but also come out of the pocket and make big plays is something that really sets him apart so Caleb Williams from USC now to the Chicago Bears like the number one overall pick bucky is the easy pick put forward by budl yeah i mean look this one was easy it was easy since the fall this was a guy that was a presumptive qb1 of this draft class. all the way from the time he won the Heisman Trophy and it seems like he didn't have the year he wanted team-wise, but you still saw the flashes on the tape that separate him from the others outstanding arm Talent great IQ creativity is there and more Most importantly, he has The Moxy and the playmaking ability that every quarterback coach and offensive coordinator desires.

This is the guy the Chicago Bears have hit a home run for their quarterback, now they have to make sure they set him up for a lot of success. I'm going to give you a statistic, you talk about making key plays, a statistic that blew my mind when I was reviewing some of the data points from the last two years. He had 46 touchdowns to one interception in the Washington red zone tonight with the second pick. In the

2024

NFL draft, the Washington Commander selects LSU quarterback Jayen Daniels, making him the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, the second to emerge from the green room after his predecessor won that award. .

Jaden Daniels is the Washington Commanders DJ choice, this just went from unwatchable. Offensive product to watch on TV when you put this playmaker in charge this offense will be led. Now for Cliff Kingsbury, he did this the hard way, guys, this wasn't someone who just jumped onto the college football scene and took college football by storm. he earned his way he improved he changed schools you talk to the LSU people first at 5:00 in the morning he brings wide receivers using virtual reality to be able to study coverages combinations of routes studies all that hard work culminates with a Heisman Trophy and now He is a second draft pick.

What I love about J Jaden Daniels is that path you just talked about. I covered him when he was at Arizona State and there was a lot of optimism and hope for Herwood Edwards. Remember and that staff and then all of a sudden Co derailed that program, that Pack 12 didn't treat Co very well, they had half a semester, his team didn't meet expectations and he bore the brunt of much of that. . reviews, so the change of scenery was perfect for him on CD. I think it was that change of scenery, obviously he was able to mature as a person and as a player, but it was worth it at Spades, not just a change of scenery, the training that Brian receives.

Kelly, one of the toughest quarterback coaches in the country, helped elevate him there, but you talked about the 185-pound path when you met him as a freshman 207 now last year Bryce Young, that was a big problem, but Bryce Young was waterweight at 204 Dan Daniels. he's a legit 20 7210 and has a chance to add more weight and be smarter with the way he runs this franchise's highest

drafted

quarterback since they took another Heisman Trophy winner second overall in the draft in 2012, Robert Griffin, as you can see, kayy. H Hartong is about to get better, as I'm seeing it, I guess off camera, Kayy Hartong is waiting right now with Jaden Daniels, Washington's new commander, while Jaden Daniels makes his exit on stage another burst of excitement and a big hug and greetings. commissioner Roger Goodell and with that Jaden Daniels becomes the next quarterback to pilot the Washington Commander franchise this after they sent Sam Howell on his way, traded him to Seattle clearing the way for a new quarterback here Bucky and Jaden Daniels is that man, yes, Jaden Daniels. is that guy and the interesting thing about J Lance alluded to that: It's rare that you find a guy that has superior arm talent and running skills, but Jaden Daniels is a bit of a unicorn at the 12,000 plus 3,000 passing yard position. besides the rushing yards and what I love about him is the steady progression he made from his time at Arizona State to his time at LSU, touch accuracy, timing, showing that he consistently drops the ball in the bucket on those deep throws, He has a division where he can pitch. with anticipation and timing we saw him time and time again, doing his tenure at LSU, yes he has some talented playmakers around him, but he could have been the biggest playmaker in that offense, being able to break down the pocket, can create improvised runs designed for the quarterback. runs, he has all of that, but also the ability to really stay in the pocket and make those plays.

This is the new school quarterback, the prototypical quarterback we're looking at, he's a dynamic athlete who's also a polished pocket passer, excited to see what. Jaden Daniels does it in Washington. I think what really stands out for me is that you look at the footwork and it's important to him. I mean, he's really worked on it and you'll notice that the footwork is really good, he finds the platforms for him when he throws. he goes through progressions, a lot of people have criticized him for coming out of the pocket too quickly. I think if he sees an opening, he wants to go 25 yards and often he does and he can, and I don't think it's if.

You really watch him, he can go through the progressions, he can go three, four, deep, he can complete all of his progressions, he can sit there and put his feet in the way he needs to. I think you know, throw me out of the numbers he can do it. He can be a little problematic and sometimes when pushing a deep ball he sometimes turns on the gas a little bit, but I love his command of the offense and I love the way he protects himself at the line of scrimmage. scrimmage, which is a very underrated skill for

quarterbacks

coming out of college.

He commands the field like an NFL quarterback and that's what I really, yeah, he does. I didn't do it, but that's why you're in the front seat. funds, you missed it, pilot said, the Miss could be happening between Arizona and other teams or they could stay and pick, but at least we're about to hear who the latest New England Patriot is with the third pick in the NFL draft 20124, the New England Patriots select Drake May quarterback in North Carolina, so it is the 21-year-old from North Carolina who will go to New England, as we all know in 2021, the last time that we saw three quarterbacks selected to start a draft like the Patriots tonight.

drafted

Matt Jones 15th overall in that draft, great rookie season for him, appeared in the Pro Bowl that year, the next two years went by and now he's in the Jacksonville Jaguar quarterback room backing up Trevor Lawrence , which means this is Drake May's future in New England. the guy from North Carolina coming to the AFC East where Josh Allen resides and that's a guy I idolized is a quarterback I idolized growing up here is the New England Patriots' third quarterback Drake May, well , F feels like for two decades everyone was chasing Tom Brady in that division, now everyone is chasing Josh Allen and they have a great athletic and physical quarterback in New England, that will give them a chance when they find themselves in some of those high-scoring issues.

This incredible athlete here at Drake can As we move forward, how we feel, Bucky, so there's the chalk. North Carina is in the house, let's do it. I mean, I was born in Tar Hill. I'm a Tar Hill bread and more, but I mean, I'm very excited. because this is an all-time great guy and then when you look at the tape and the game and what he did at North Carolina, he didn't live up to expectations in terms of the team, but this guy was a stud. . Time arm Talent Big Time playmaker the comparisons to Josh Allen to me are real he is the prototype at the position arm size Talent IQ personality leadership skills he has it all the only thing he doesn't have is experience and inexperience leads to some inconsistencies, but if you fix that part, you're talking about a superstar in this league, well that's true because you know you should have that fit check before you're on the iso camera walking down the hall.

You had to make sure. everything was fine, but yeah, I'm with you Drake, there you go, it doesn't matter now man, because the only thing that matters is what you do when you put on the New England Patriots uniform and there's Drake May showing those threads of the Patriots for the The first time that MJones is out this offseason and now on Drake May, so Lance tells us what we love about the UNCC QB. His traits of this gentleman are due to the size and athleticism of the selected quarterback. He has a big arm, an unquestionable arm.

Talent, without a doubt. I think the other thing that really stands out when you look at Drake Mayus is Fearless, he's got guts now, like Bucky mentioned, at some point that turns into mistakes and he has to control it, but you'd rather say ouch than go like they say. He is a quarterback and has a lot of potential, he has good touch and accuracy at the B on throws to the end zone. I think that's something he really needs to work on is the short stuff, not throwing 100 miles an hour, but he's also a creative player and he's a guy that when he comes out of the pocket he's physical as a runner but he's not afraid to try. of finding a creative avenue to get the ball out.

I just mentioned mobility, I mean, it's a big part of who you are. You have to be in today's NFL, you have to be mobile enough that it's not a statute that makes teams recognize it. They're going to get hurt if they attack you and miss if you get close to the king, you better not miss, that's it. what Drake May hopes to show some people there in New England, but he's going to need time, Bucky, he's going to need it. time yeah he's going to need some time just because the inexperience like the last four years he only played football in two of those seasons he missed his entire senior season because he was playing behind Sam how he didn't have much time as a student at first year then.

He played the last two years in Carolina, so everyone has to understand that it's a work in progress, it's great that they have Jacobe Pret there, there is no pressure to put Drake May on the field, but if he joins with the talent and the characteristics. While the Chargers are already a minute and a half on their clock with the fourth pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Arizona Cardinal selects wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Ohio and a Maserati is about to arrive in the living room exhibition here in the Motor City. Marvin Harrison Jr, one of Ohio State's most talented quarterbacks, hugs his head coach Ryan Day as he arrives here on a draft night to go to Arizona and become Kyler Murray's top target in the NFC West.

I am totally in favor of the exchange. down and get depth, but I'm more interested in getting guys, you have your depth, I'll take my guys, this is a big time playmaker, they need top line difference makers on this roster for the Arizona Cardinals, There aren't many and Kyler. Murray is smiling from ear to ear, he has a number one wide receiver and not two years from now, three years from now, this is the number one wide receiver, this year he will be ready to roll when he steps on the field. white board is the X's and O's, Joel, that's right, this is an X come to life and it's an The organization says Kler Murray is our quarterback.

He give him some people. that gives him the opportunity to make those plays Marvin Harrison no by the way he didn't run until he was 40 he didn't do the comb why he was training to be a football player that's exactly right and that's what leaves me Let's go back a couple of years, y'all You guys know how many Ohio State games Gus and I called, right? I, y'all, think you did them all. I think you missed the Youngstown State game, that's all, you know. we, we make our best CD, there's no doubt that you even threw away the Maserati Rich, you know, so you're worth it because you've been listening, by the way, Gus is from the D, so guys, 3 years ago, he was a true freshman who was going through a tough time. bursting into the wide receiver room because it's Chris Olve, Garrett Wilson, Jackson Smith and Jiga, and I was asking those guys between the three of them, hey, who's the best among you three and they all looked at me and said oh no, no , No. he's the best Marvin Harrison Jr, who wasn't even on the field, but he showed it in that Rose Bowl you remember against Utah as a true freshman and he's been the best receiver in college football since he was the wide receiver for high draft for Arizona since Selecting Larry Fitzgerald third overall in 2004, welcome to Prime and what you like about Marvin har Marvin Harrison Jr is that he can also work at all three levels, so there's really nothing he can't do.

He's a rock solid player, Bucky, and he's a player for me that this pick. I'm really glad Monty Austin didn't get cute and try to trade again because at some point don't pass up the big players, the players on the

picks

in this one, yeah, the players on the

picks

and that's it. From the beginning, the match with this franchise made a lot of sense because to me, Marvin Harrison Jr was very similar to Larry Fer when Larry Fer was coming out, meaning that he was a Pros Pro from day one. Polished route. Running back, great ball and passing skills. the catch and the skill he just has the ability to fill the position as a number one, he has everything you look for in a wide receiver and I think he will have a lot of success at the next level, yes I am clearly referring to the yards after. the catch is something we saw a lot from him in Columbus, I mean look at the smoothness and the top of the routes, I mean that's where that ship comes in, right Buck, he's got it and when you have a father who is a guy in a gold jacket, Hall of Famer, imagine what those conversations have been like since he was little, since he started playing, he has all those things and I think the advantage he can have over others when he walks into the facility of the NFL won't be too much. big for him, he knows what he's going to be, he knows what he's getting into, what matters, in a way I've said it, he has a lot of that softness and body control that we saw from his father, but in a much more framework big one that I had.

I got to see him twice in person the first time I saw him in person he made possibly the best catch I've ever seen in a college football game and it was like an out route or an explosive route uh on the sideline where it stood like the foot that you wouldn't expect to come down within the limits, just within the limits. I didn't believe it when I saw it, it was so ridiculous, um, but those are the types of plays he made week in and week out in Columbus there during the Buckeyes and I mean an absolute player, um, you know, you listen and you talk to people inside his building and they say he's a worker like you wouldn't believe he's not involved, in fact, I mean, his father was. saying that you have to go in there and complain more about the ball, that's not his style, he's not the diva, no, that's not his style and, you know, I heard the hits against him, that Malik's neighbors have that dog that Marvin Harrison Jr. doesn't have.

I don't have that much of a dog, but the problem is that what I have is just going to watch the tape and just watching the production with CJ Stroud. He had a former production, which is an exception with a fourth that he had as a very similar production and it's almost. exactly exactly and you talk a lot about this guy needs a better quarterback or this guy it doesn't matter who the quarterback is, he's just productive in two losses against Michigan, he had 120 and 118 yards against Jim Harbaugh, both are losses, but touchdowns in both that just shows that the consistency is there and people shouldn't question a dog that had to live up to his father's name.

You better believe he took the best hit of them all and he has done it and done it. I won't do it tonight either, so the coach of the champion college team in Michigan is about to make his first pick as Chargers HC. I see what you did, thanks bro with the fifth pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Los Angeles Chargers select Joe. alternate tackle to Notre Dame, so they take Notre Dame's left tackle even though Rwn Slater is their All Pro, but for now let's give Joe Al his flowers. Joe Al went from being a tight end to a tackle and in two years was the fifth. drafted, I think he'll be fine moving from left tackle to right tackle, he'll be able to do it.

He's extremely long, you see the dimensions, he's almost 6'9, this is Jonathan Ogden type height at left tackle. and reach, you can't get on his chest, he does a great job keeping his chest clean, you can't overpower him like that in the running game for a big guy, he can turn his hips, get down and create a lot of movement . I want to go up to the second level, which you're going to do a lot with Jim Harbaugh and this offensive system with the Chargers, he does that too, they're going to protect Justin Herbert and they're going to give Justin Herbert a running game. two areas and two problems that have been there for the Chargers since they entered the league, that's a family cam brought to you by Rocket Morgage showing the moment the alternate family is essentially back in the National Football League, as well that there is Joe Al. to Los Angeles to protect Justin Herbert and start qualifying the road for Jim Harball.

He made some great points, Daniel about what they're going to do. I think Joel you were anticipating that if this pick somehow Arizona had passed on Marvin Harrison Jr. it would have come out. that might have been the wide receiver that would have been talked about right there because Jim Harbaugh saw him during those years in the Michigan group, we had talked about him as kind of a number one wire to wire, there was a late love of JC Lam in the streets there. but he's alt going to charger he's alt alt he's an extremely confident player when you look at the pedigree since dab was an NFL tackle he has size he has athleticism U the length as you mention here as you see right there range what they mean by range is the ability to go out and go catch those speedsters.

What I really think is also impressive about him is that for a taller center or a taller tackle, he does a good job of leveling the pad and driving from his core, so a lot of times with taller tackles they have a hard time getting down. the deck level, they tend to get planted as run blockers, he's a Notre Dame run blocker, which means they get after him and lower the deck level and Joe alt is. one of the safest picks in this draft and I think you know what you're basically saying now with the Chargers is we're going to beat you up front and then let our quarterback have you I know it might be a little easier , we're not going to make him carry the entire burden from now on.

This was the most transparent election we could get. I mean, this was something. I mean, Jim Haro takes over, he's always used offense. line to really lay the foundation for his rebuilding projects, he did it at Stanford, he did it again with the 49ers and he did it with Michigan winning a national championship title, there was no way he was going to deviate from the formula that he has had so much success. for him, he goes and gets Joe Alt so he can now go with Rushan Slater. Now they rebuilt this offensive line. He wants to make the game very easy for Justin Herbert.

They are going to run the ball and lean on their franchise. The superstar quarterback simply makes plays when they need him to make plays instead of just draining everything from them, the Chargers are on their way to building a bruiser. Because he believes bully ball works, and based on his history, he certainly has a lot of it. of success by doing it that way with the sixth pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the New York Giants select the LSU wide receiver, Malik's neighbor, to become a wide receiver for LSU like in the past Odell and Malik Neighbors comes to the Giants fold. and bring his remarkably dynamic style of play to the NFC East and an offense that will currently be led by Drew Lock until Daniel Jones is healthy as he currently is as he walks onto the stage right now.

I spoke with Brian Debal before last year's draft. said what do you need to do it said we could be the slowest team in the league we have to be faster we have to be more dynamic they made an effort with that last year with Jaylen hayatt Big Time speed they We have added and now they get the wide receiver more electrifying of this class, not the most polished, but a great play waiting to happen that can be throwing the ball 60 yards down the field, which can be literally handing him the ball and watching him run 60 yards.

On the field, well, you just mentioned what they had to do and they have all that in terms of speed and everything else, dynamic dynamism, but this is what for me, Joel, competitiveness is if you've been around Brian Dble and you have been. around the ballclub they always have competitive periods against each other they end the day with a competitive thing who won who lost he wants all that is Malik neighbors that fits Brian Deall remembers that Brian Deall was in Buffalo when they acquired Stefan Diggs and he went out and was Dynamic from the beginning under Brian Deol, that fits perfectly in terms of who they are, who Brian Deo is as a head coach and what his team needs if they want to start getting back on that mission of trying to win the NFC.

You can see that competitiveness. The boys appear with the ball in theirhands. You know, when he's running, you can see the urgency he has to create some of those big plays. DJ you said during this Pro, he has like a jetpack on his back. I mean, that's how He plays whether he's running down the field or has the ball in a screen tunnel and please let the Giants and the Jets do some preseason games because we're going to have to have a collar between the leak and the sauce and them. We'll face each other every day in the practice that's called the Snoopy Bowl every year, but let them, I want to have some of those practices and get to the last thing and I think this is a man, this guy has a lot of talent, I mean his glide speed.

He has incredible speed, but the way he slides down the field really sets him apart because he disguises his incredible speed. I think what we have here, what we are seeing now is a player with whom there could be a slightly lower ceiling. because he's not as polished as Marvin Harrison Jr, but what pushed him over Marvin Harrison Jr in my ratings was the fact that he has Elite Speed ​​Elite competitiveness and there aren't many things he doesn't do well, but what he really I love that it can work from the slot and I think it's a great weapon to work on the X and Z in the slot.

He can work at any of those wide receiver spots. Look dog, serious dog, one word, he has all the competitive fire and instincts that you do. What you're looking for is an elite playmaker. When you turn on the treadmill and watch him, he can run all the routes described in the book. He is excellent with the ball in his hands to run after catch and simply has the ability to improve his game. a level when he needs the comparison that I like with DJ Moore is real, but this is a great playmaker who will make the game easier for Daniel Jones because he can turn those short passes into big plays, of course, and like Lance, as you were saying, put it in the slot, he ran that slot.

He faded to death in Death Valley at LSU and he was very successful at that, uh, yeah, he put the ball down. in his hand looking, there it is, the slot fades away again, it just appears um and oh god, like that, take it again, you like that, let me tell you something, um, when he gives you that little nod and that's it, that's it is, it's a summary because If you get something wrong he shows you and he can also tilt the corners, that's one of the things I really like about him is that the Pole is not there as a road runner, he doesn't need to run a lot in space.

LSU, but man, when you see what he's able to do with his hips, his feet, the suddenness, the burst, his ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 is almost instantaneous and that's something for me, the groove fades again , it's another slot like no, that's what they called it. against T&M again you're going to see, you're going to see a lot of them, you're going to see a lot of them, but you know, he really was much more effective from the position, but he can work outside and something that I Another factor that I really think is discussed a lot with Malik's neighbors is that she talks about speed and roughness, but he is a competitive guy and competitive to catch you, he will pick you up, put you on his hip and extend his arm. go get him, you talk about the dog Bucky, the dog stuff shows up when it's 50/50 and he's got that dog in the balls 50/50 with the 7th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Tennessee Titans select JC leam tackle Alabama, well we had the tackles go five and seven, it's not a surprise to see the Tennessee Titans, this was a glaring need for them, Levis needs some help, he needs some protection, they retired at 28th and captures were allowed last year.

Leam is a gigantic human being who plays right tackle, there he is. He also played inside as a guard. I think he will be a left tackle in the NFL. Charles, the good thing about him in terms of what he can be. He recruits great talent. I think there is still more for him. That stuff at the airport, he's an APM automated people mover, but here's the other part. Bill Callahan was the coach in Cleveland when they recruited Jedric Wills from right tackle out of Alabama during his college career, converting him to left tackle. Bill Callahan is now the offensive line.

Tennessee Titans coach, if you're talking about converting a guy from right tackle to left tackle and they were going to do it last year, but Michael Proctor was there and they decided to leave JC Leam, guess what the move will do. now under one of the best offensive line coaches in NFL history, well, and they needed help up front, there's no doubt this one and he are athletic and have been for a long time, they could dunk a ball basketball in the middle, oh, here we go, he is. I got the swell behind me oh wow Raj is grimacing up there oh my god it's okay okay let's take a breath I think it's okay it seems like it's okay I don't know he's fighting it stretching Pon stretching right now he might have to get out early My next note, literally, was that he can be too aggressive at times.

JC Lam is incredibly powerful when you watch him on tape, although that doesn't stop him from coming out in the passing setup, but I think we'll get to the exos of him in a second. What this does for Tennessee is this is a team that has been built on the running game for years and years since Chris Jones, even when V was there, you go to Derek Henry for years and years and that's what they are and if you ask Will. Levis do too much. I think he will affect you if you protect him with a run game and with pass protection, which he can do both.

I think you're in good shape and what I love about him, Bucky, and you know this from being in the locker room or in the front office, he can play right tackle, but if things don't go well, he has Pro Bowl potential. as a guard, he absolutely has it. I think for me, this is Ran Carton, putting his stamp on the team knowing that he ran. pretty well, having watched running all his time, he's saying that the Tennessee Titans are still going to play Bully Ball even though they're surrounding the quarterback with a big pickup, it's his first monster hug of the night that It put him in a position of they're successful, they've got a big guy that can play that Smashmouth football that they want to play.

Bill Callahan endorsed this choice. JC Leam is only there because the offensive line coach says, "We want to make sure they get dominated at the second point of attack." The offensive lineman off the board is JC Leam, who had really been making it look like a push at least during the draft rumors in recent days and weeks, so we think he might end up being the first one off the board. Do we love this here Lance? Well, we love him. He has strong hands now that he puts his hands on you. He probably won't get away once he goes down.

I like the fact that he can anchor. You see it expand. with the base he unlocks the hips, knees and ankles, he has the ability, as you saw right there, to deal with turning movements and passing turns, so a lot of the things that we show are the aerial game, but I think the game Running is where he shines and that's why he's my number one tackle on the board. He is an elite R blocker. He plays here. He is a simpleton. He stays after he didn't catch you once. He wanted to come find you twice.

He has the attitude. to let you know that he's there to whip you at every turn and I think he's a good enough pass protector. I think he's maybe a little safer as a pass protector, but I think Leam is just as good as me. I talked to other offensive line coaches who had Le ahead of everyone, but he's close. I mean, they're both great tackles and good news for you, if you need a tackle this is a great draft, but Rett only has one more pick on the day. two in the second round, I think really when you look at where the tackles are going to go here and how much wide receiver talent is available second, yeah, it makes more sense to play it this way, the offensive line has better value now, while the receiver has better value. much better than the offensive line value at the top of the second round, probably part of the calculation here too, here we go with the 8th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Atlanta Falcons select Michael P Junor, well , there's Isington, that's the first surprise, hey, now of the NFL Draft, to say the least, the fourth quarterback off the board is Michael Penx Jr, he's a top 10 pick and he's going to the place that They just made a very expensive investment in a veteran quarterback and it's a little crazy that Kirk Cousins ​​is coming along.

Atlanta, signs in Atlanta, leaves Minnesota to go to Atlanta. Minnesota stays and with this pick, JJ McCarthy once again closes in on them with the Bears on the clock, the Jets behind them and there's the Vikings, but again putting that aside. Michael Penck Jr is going to Atlanta and this is a huge arm. He you see Joe Flaco's name on the bottom, the way the ball comes out of his hand, he's very reminiscent of Joe Flacko and you talk about Justin Herbert just spinning the ball. He is ridiculous. with his arm strength this is from the Texas game attacking high up the field he can play above coverage this was a question mark in the Texas game he answered his ability to navigate around certain pressure move inside the pocket in this placement for Romad Dun in the field, beautiful ball again outside the numbers, he is fantastic at the top, he is fantastic and when you need to put the ball in tight Windows, watch him beat the safety with this pitch again, it looks like he is throwing a Nerf ball He has a ridiculous arm now there are injuries, that is something that worried some teams.

His Four Seasons in Indiana all ended in injuries, but the last two years he's been healthy and he's played out of his depth, but this is fascinating because we were talking about he's a little older, do you want to get him on the field? He will not take the field with Kirk Cousins ​​on that contract at this time. Well, I'll tell you when he gets on the field. Well, you said he. he throws a great deep pass. I agree that he throws the best deep-to-intermediate pass in this draft, but it's more than just a throw, it's a pass and the ability to leverage the ball down the field when you look at it, it's all always. away from the defender, we're talking about 5050 situations with wide receivers, well he gives his wide receivers better odds because the ball is always in the right place on the field and I think that's an incredibly rare trait, he's got long arms, big hands and he spins it as well as anyone when you just look at a guy that takes the ball and is in the pocket and controls the game from the pocket there was no one better in this draft the Atlanta Falcons select quarterback Michael Penx Jr Washington last come on come check out the family cam brought to you by Icy Hot Michael penck Atlanta Falcon, OMG the surprise of the draft hands down, the fourth quarterback off the board for a team no one expected to take a QB, He has money, so no one expected him to take a QB. in the top 10 I thought maybe in the second round, but Michael Pennick Jr in Atlanta, you're thinking about Kurt Cousins, you're thinking about the guns that the Atlanta Falcons have, you need a great playmaker, someone who can shoot the ball down the field there.

Look, there's no one better in the draft to throw the deep ball than Michael Pennick, and when we go back and look at the playoffs, when we see him against Texas, we were talking about this guy being an absolute D deal, yeah, surgical precision. the way he handed them out didn't have the same type of play at Michigan. I feel like that affected the way people viewed him, but when you watch the super clean tape pushing the ball down the field, aware of the pocket, lead time, he's got it all. of that and if you want someone who can operate out of the pocket, Michael Pennick was your friend so it's early for some, but it certainly makes sense if you love the quarterback that can deal, look at my guy out of the pocket too, he makes some good moves.

Inside the pocket he showed you some athleticism at his pro day to put some of those injury concerns to rest. The guy ran a good 44 at his pro day and then was absolutely surgical throughout his entire career in Washington. He had a phenomenal connection with his family and his offensive staff. there with the Huskies he even goes back to his days in Indiana and now he is the franchise QB waiting for the Atlanta F and this is a guy who is 24 or 23 years old. I'm trying to figure out what we're doing here. ninth pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select Rome and wide receiver Washton, so the guys who came commercially on the same flight from Los Angeles will get on the plane to go together to Chicago and Caleb Williams he was selected first overall in an offense. who already had Keenan Allen and DJ Moore will have Rome adun at his disposal this fall what a gain for the Chicago Bears Caleb Williams 1 Rome adun 9 Caleb Williams has already been pitching with Rome adun and Keenan Allen maybe saw the future of where he is Things were happening, but you talk about transforming an offense in an offseason.

I don't know if there is a greater transformation than what is taking place in Chicago right now and remember theoffensive tackle discussion. Remember Olu Fashanu played there with Caleb Williams. in high school, kind of like what Chicago's carriers are doing with their first picks, they say what's really underrated here, Keenan Allen, known as one of the great route runners coming into the league and then as He's been in the league, he's one of the One of the areas of improvement is really fine-tuning the routes, but the footwork when he wants to is outstanding, he just does it consistently, he's learning to play at his top speed, but when you look at Keenan Allen, he's a guy who's capable of playing faster than his time speed.

What I really love with Romad Dun is that he can work from all positions including the slot, when the ball goes up he becomes about an 8020. He has incredible body control in the air. I always see the arm extension and he's going to catch the ball with strong hands outside the frame of him right there he showed you a little double move. He has better speed than you think because he doesn't always play at that top speed, that's what I saw right there that the little whip route shows the ability to become a more refined route runner in my opinion, but the tracking of the ball to win the ball, when the ball goes up, you can win the contestant's catches below, you can take the tilt and go and give. he gets you some yards out of the slot or he can just beat you down the field, which is something we saw a lot from Michael Pennick, his quarterback is, hey, throw it to Rome and let Rome do something with it and Rome usually did something with So how about the most prolific quarterback wide receiver duo in college football over the course of the last two seasons, consecutively selecting Penck at eight to the Falcons and now Odun at nine, whose new quarterback field shared a flight to Detroit with him?

The good news is that no souls perished. The Vikings moved up one spot with the Jets. They gave the Jets a fourth and a fifth on Saturday for the right to move up one spot and we're guessing they'll take JJ McCarthy because Michael Penx was drafted by the Falcons about 20 minutes ago here's the commissioner to make it official and help make the selection of the Minnesota Vikings. We are honored to have the surviving mother with us. Brothers and nephew of the fallen hero. United States Army Sergeant Zachary Ying Zachary died after a battle with cancer. that he was discovered after he was injured during his second deployment to Iraq.

We salute and thank his family and take advantage of the tragedy assistance program for survivors that offers care to those grieving the loss of a military loved one. I will now hand this over to Sergeant Ying's nephew, Asher, who will announce the pick in honor of his uncle, let's go according to the 10th pick in the NFL of 2024. select the Minnesota Vikings, select JJ McCarthy, return to Michigan and a standing ovation from the huge The Wolverine crowd here in Detroit, just down the street and as you can see in Vanen Township, Michigan, he's going to Minnesota and he's the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings. a room with Sam Darnold, who signed before cold weather, tough rebuild, tough split, um, you could go to the Giants, that's a tough rebuild too, he goes to Kevin, OK, Connell's offense, this is Taylor Made and What really stands out about JJ McCarthy, you.

I started with intangible equipment. I love the fact that I was 63 and 3 years from high school and through college. He has been a winner and when I say winner he should not be taken lightly because he has great control and confidence on the field. he takes every slight, puts it in his little box of memories and goes out and tries to get you back so he can run the ball out of the pocket, so he has that ability, he has the ability to really throw. with anticipation in the middle of the field, I think he's a quarterback that does a very good job throwing on the run, incredibly accurate on passes P and that could be some old school, uh, Mike Shanahan, Gary Kubak, action of boot under the center. because he has played in the pro style offense there at Michigan, so I think this is the perfect pick for Kansas for the Minnesota Vikings of all the quarterbacks.

I think this one makes sense and for JJ McCarthy, frankly, from an appropriate standpoint with J Jett. out there as a wide receiver, I don't know if it could be better if you had picked a better quarterback-needy team than the Minnesota Vikings. I really like the pick and I like the pick because Kevin Oconnell routinely sets his quarterbacks up for success. and with Sam Darnold there, there's not necessarily a rush to get J McCarthy on the field right away. This is a chance for them to fully build the offense and last. What I liked about what you talked about about his intangibles and winning attributes, we see that.

Time and time again, this guy is a great playmaker, he made the plays necessary to get it done, but when your team is up and beating everyone, you're not going to compile a lot of godly stats, he just knows how to get the team for The Winner Circle what matters in this league is not the lack of elite plays, it's the lack of elite play volume and that's not McCarthy's choice or his fault, it's that they played offense and he was an expert at running the game. offense led the Michigan Wolverines to the top of the mountain in college football and is the fifth quarterback selected, that is, the first time five quarterbacks have been in the top 10 in the common draft era, which has been missing from the top 10 defense.
