The 20, 25 NFL draft is less than three days away. And while we'll be coming to draft last Thursday night, we wanted to do a last minute temperature check. Are there any hot takes on where certain players should go or any teams that should trade for a specific player, try to keep this brief, please. I'll say two things.
Number one, T-Mac, I think is a little overrated, the Y receiver from Arizona. I think there's gonna be other Y receivers that are gonna have better NFL careers than him. And number two, I really think the bear should try to get one of the top two running backs. And Amari and Hampton, is that his name?
You know, J-T? Or Gen-T? Yeah, North Carolina or Gen-T? They need to try to get one of those two running backs.
And can you win? In the first round? Yes. This is the bracket.
This is the bracket. It is, but those two guys are the most explosive running backs in this draft. And I think Amari on a little bit more than Gen-T has that homerun speed. But you pair that with the Andre Swift and the O line that they just rebuilt.
Because here's the thing, they didn't just go get guys that they think are gonna be good. They got guys as long as they say healthy, are great alignment. So I think that they are ready for a young running back to come in there and to help balance out that offense. And we saw, again, we saw what Detroit did.
So you got the guy that was the architect of that. With two running backs, go get you a top flight running back in the first round. We're gonna play quarterback. Ooh.
Ooh. Chicago, man. You're a good guy. I've had against people on that.
I feel like better than that. I feel like if Sanders doesn't get picked in the top three, I see the Steelers making a trade to get into the top 10. First, and I would be shocked if they don't, just because you don't want to, you know, the Saints have said they have no interest in getting Sanders. But like Kyle always says in our chat, everybody lying.
So to me, I would be shocked if Sanders falls. I was out of the top 10, especially when you have the Raiders and the Saints. No, you wouldn't. No, I always said, I was always arguing that I don't think he's a top three pick.
But I said, who's trading back? So I think the Giants, like whoever the Giants are in a position where I can see them trading back. Okay, well, hold on. But the thing is, is you say that if he gets past the Giants, so that means the Giants will be drafting somebody.
So if they draft somebody, not named Shadoor at number three, then you got the Patriots, the Jags, the Raiders, the Jets and the Panthers. So which one of those teams would you say would move back? You think the Patriots would? The Patriots would definitely to get more draft capital, especially if they, because the top three is going to be board, Travis and Carter.
So after that, it's kind of like, I don't really need to be in the top 10 anymore. You know what I'm saying? At that point, those are the blue chips of this whole draft. But moving down to 21, are they going to get the whole line in that the Patriots would want?
Well, I would say that I would say they're mostly moving down, not just to get the 21, but like get an extra first round pick. I mean, my take is like, I've been saying, I think the Cowboys, they should work. What? How?
I think you're going to do that. I think you sit, Shadoor, I want some Jordan loveship. Look, QQ, QQ, I wouldn't disagree if Shadoor was being drafted like 20 something, but being drafted, the Dallas Cowboys have the 12th pick and you have the highest paid quarterback. You can't have $300 million worth of quarterback.
You know what I'm saying? Oh, one roster, bro. Like that just don't make sense. I think that a lot of people look at Green Bay similar to the situation.
It's like, you just pay Aaron Rodgers wide draft. That's true. That's true. And I'm not saying that he is.
I understand. I don't think it's any different. I understand. I understand.
I just don't think that Jerry is pressed for money when you look at what Shadoor would bring to the Cowboys. I've been saying, like the Cowboys, I don't think they care about logic here. I think it's this is the on boy. What you got?
I just think Shadoor will get drafted before we have a chance to get him. As to what you were saying, I would take Shadoor over that, but he's not going to fall to us. It's not that that's like a fairytale thing in the sense of being a Cowboys man. Like some people got him wrong with the 20s, those, right?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Cowboys are not going to be the team that takes him off the board. It's not going to happen. Y'all need one of those running backs.
You need Hampton to be honest, but I don't think I don't think you do need to run it back. I want to do it. When you're taking a running back in the first round, it's going to be something like what they did for all these years building the teams, building the graphics. I don't think that Shadoor, I don't see that.
I don't see that. We have sleep half the teams. Give me the keys, bro. I think Shadoor is going to go to the Raiders, but I feel you don't know what Jerry is going to do, but I think the Raiders will take you to do.
Why is it so insane to think that 11 teams don't look at Shadoor and is like he's that guy? I think that if you have Dallas staring at Shadoor and is at number 12, I think Jerry's going to be fucking. That's not a bad theory because people said right now they're going to take team-ac team-ac and doing shit for the game season. I know what you are saying, Luke.
Who will wait? Team-ac. When I said he didn't watch no film. I know what it is.
It doesn't make sense to get a wide receiver where you can hit it Atlanta, hit it Green Bay like you said and invest your future now because that is on his last time without knowing. You can have back be there, have Shadoor sit behind him for a year or two. Let his ass go. He's gonna sit wherever he like I said even the ratings back.
He's gonna sit behind. Well, here's a question I have Spike cuz you've been taping for Sanders all year long Why you advocate are you saying that you were like them to take him? Yeah, just don't make sense if we could get if we could get rid of that I would take it 100% But I don't I don't see there. There's no way that we can get rid of that and half him as I started quarterback and that Work out for our franchise.
Can I make a case? Can I make a case if all right everyone on here listening to play quick scenario 30 seconds wearing the board wearing the Draft room. I'm Stephen Jones and Spike is gonna play Jerry and everyone else with the exact if I'm Stephen Jones I'm looking at everybody. I'm saying look we all don't fucking believe in his neck.
Okay, cool We already know that we paid him all this money and we fucked up So let's look at what the trends are with guys sitting behind Taylor hurt sat behind Carson Wentz for a year. Yeah, Jordan loves that behind Air Rogers for two years You have people at Brock Purdy who sat in the wings as Jimmy Garoppolo was fucking up for the franchise and they still were able to compete So it's really a win-win situation here guys We can go out there try to win with that and if you know it breaks a certain way that he gets hurt We have Shador Sanders and now people want to see what he's made up or if that goes You know along with the playoffs and we win we still have the franchise security set up So why wouldn't we if we really believe in this prospect just take take the talent instead of trying to go get a whole Line or go get a running back we don't get those guys around And then I'm looking down the field and at Deon Sanders may be coming to be a I was coaching a couple years who knows we got to leave everything open You said it's already gotten too much money if you Stephen Jones you ain't saying all that because anyway Jerry that you talked that much Now we've already given too much money to deck. There's no way that I can say oh, I'm gonna Let's do a come in to be quarter-back I'll follow the first round which is insane to be having this conversation I'm gonna go take a ride running back or receiving some shoes about the draper There's no high take running back or I receive a song like that It's going to help out this thing. They're just gonna take and you got nothing outside of the car boys.
No, let's see Okay, my heartache is that you're gonna see well first of all Jacksonville is the bar cart We don't know what Jacksonville is gonna do. That's where the draft is really gonna be. Yeah, I'm gonna hot take you talk about the Jaguars Right the draft hot take those little So for the draft that's what the drafts gonna start though. That's what you know, whoever they Select is gonna determine how everything else falls is driving and I think you're gonna see a huge
