Bowl flavor, smoke finish, made with real fruit. This spirit doesn't back down. Hard-hid, the original fruit whiskey, 86 proof. Not for the thin skin.

It's draft week, we made it! Kevin gives us his final mark. I hope you brought snacks and a pillow. Thomas!

Hey, that intro. Welcome to Saint Happy Hour podcast. We never trained up. There was a path to give up three first round picks to give Vayne Daniel.

I would do it. Just get out of here, J-A-head. Now grab a drink and enjoy the show. All right, everybody.

Welcome to another edition of Saint Happy Hour podcast. As always, we are presented to you by Hard-Hid, Pawn School, Strawberry Whiskey, and Bev Test's best flavor whiskey of 2025. Chunk County Peach Whiskey. I'm Ralph Mulber.

I'm joined by Dave, Kevin. Thomas, running the show back in Poland. Andrew May, or may not be, get here. Things happen.

What are you gonna do? Thanks everybody for joining us. I see a ton of people, Dave. I see Dustin J, who'd that call for Fresno State?

Jason Champagne, Dustin J, Bretton, Lafayette. Ton of people, thanks everybody for joining us in the chat. On tonight's show, draft week from Saints' Room is when we go through all of them. And I'm the Saints locked in to Jordan.

And Tyson and A, are they gonna trade up? Are they gonna trade down? What is going on? Kevin gets to do his final mock.

Tonight, Kevin, describe your draft in one word. Voluminous. Oh my God, I don't even know what that is. Did Dave get ahold of volume?

He's full of volume. He's full of volume, buddy. Volume. Plus, weekend story time that Dave is very excited about and it ends with him interacting with a celebrity.

Plus, listener questions. Not a celebrity. Not a celebrity. Dave, his, of, a Therit, communism, a Therit, what's the word I'm looking for, Kevin?

A authoritarian? That's the one. It's working. He's whipped you people into shape.

We have a formula to reach. Any other questions to get to. Hopefully we'll get to them all tonight. Or on the regular mailbag.

We'll see. The Italian. Yeah, the Italian. As always, we return $100 in donations.

I'll drink something horrible. The pages are sent me. I got 100 proof peanut butter and ice flavored brandy that looks disgusting. Thomas, how far away are we from Ralph's Cripple to run?

All right, so as we can see right now, we are on 140, big 140 week donation street. 16 weeks to go for Ralph's Cripple run. You can make it 15 and open. Heimer came back from behind and won last week.

And speaking of donations, we already had one big donation from hoo.gofa, a super chat with donation message. It's time for Kevin to shine 50 buckaroo donations. So we already have a way there. And by the way, don't give your money to YouTube.

Exclamation point donate in the chat to donate the best way possible. I look a little bit. $50 away from Mason Tipton. We are.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Little teaser who that offer.

Stick around for my story time. I think you're going to like this one. Stick around. All right, so, let's get into some of the Saints, the rumor stuff.

OK, suddenly all the momentum Dave is the Saints are on Arizona State and wide receiver Jordan Tyson. His tape is amazing. The conditions of his hamstrings, less so. Listen, the Giants Dave, now they have picks five and 10.

With that kind of flexibility, are you worried that the Giants may steal the person the Saints one at five? Jeremiah Lovey. Jeremiah Love or Tyson or whatever. How are we feeling about where the Saints are going to go and how the draft is going to fall?

How are we feeling? Look, I'll say first things first. We are now what's two days before the first round here. It's Tuesday evening.

And if you had to, if I've got to stick my sword in the ground or whatever and make a stand, I would go with Jeremiah Love. I just feel like that's who the Saints really love. I feel like that's who they want to get. I honestly feel like I might actually be happy because I don't know if I really want Jeremiah.

I understand all the hype around him. I've seen the tape. I've heard all the hype. I've seen the stats.

I understand that he could potentially be a game-changing running back. But I think we have plenty of needs at plenty of different areas. And I just think I kind of hope that maybe Jeremiah Love is gone. And that way, it takes him out of the equation.

And we can just kind of stand pat where we are and just take the best available guy, I think, in the long run. I think that might be one of those Mickey's saving himself from himself, from himself, situations where like if Jeremiah Love goes early, it prevents him from doing something where maybe it's not the best idea and maybe from trading up or something like that. So no, that's where I'm at right now. I think this is the best case scenario.

And this is what I want to have in Kevin. I want on Thursday night, really, later Friday morning, I want to read like a thousand word article from Nick Underhill that Nicki Loomis and Kellen Moore, they tried to trade up to four. They tried to trade up to three for Jeremiah. Love they tried to trade up for five and they couldn't get it done and they couldn't get the deal done and they had to turn in the card for Mansoor to Lane.

He was the last person that they wanted to take. They're not really, they're excited about it, but they're not really happy about it. It's not who they really wanted. And then in three years, we're like, yeah, Mansoor to Lane's the best corner in football.

Like that would be the most numerous, say, thing ever to happen. But I'm really scared, Kevin. And I'm going to plant my flag here. I think at pick four, the Saints are going to trade pick eight and 42 to the Tennessee Titans for pick three and pick 101.

And ESPN and the whole world is going to think, all the Saints, they're trading up. They're going to get Reese, they're going to get Bailey. And then they're going to turn the card and it's going to be Jeremiah Love and the whole world is going to be like, I can't believe in 2026, the New Orleans Saints traded up in the top 10 for running back. And it's going to be the story that I am going to crucify the Saints and Mickey Lewis is going to double bird the nerds and say, I got your positional value right here, nerds.

And it's going to break me and use heart. That's what I think. That's why I think all this is heading towards, Kevin. What about you?

What are you thinking the Saints are going to do on Thursday? Final chance to get your prediction feelings in before we get to your draft. I think they'll stand, Patty. Um, I think that I can see them maybe reaching out to somebody and just saying, Hey, what's up?

But, uh, I don't think they'll get a deal done. They'll stand, Patty. I think they may try and trade back from 42. No way.

But I mean, well, that's about it. I mean, they supposedly that the, what everything I've heard they want for the Saints want three starters out of this draft and they think to get three starters, they have to have four picks in the top 100. Um, so take that as you will. Um, Dave, how are as you, if you look at this draft and everybody says, Oh, this draft isn't that good and all that, but you can never know, right?

But here's my question. If I said to you, Dave, I guarantee you the Saints will get a Hall of Fame player. Yes. They have to trade up to three to do it.

Oh, would you do? Would you do? Would you make that deal? They have to trade up three, which reach, right, which means they give up.

What do they give up? They're giving up their second round. 42 and 73 is probably what. Um, yeah.

Yeah, I think I would. I think I really would. Uh, I maybe hate to say that and you're not, you're not guaranteeing me any position. Does not, you can not say whatever position you want.

Like you can pick a position. You can pick whatever position you want. You have to trade up the three. Here's a quick.

They have to be a Hall of Fame or with the Saints. Well, in this scenario, that's what you would get. You did a whole. Quick, quick, quick, interjection, if I will, the Saints draft capital for all their picks in this year's draft is 22 hundred 52 points.

That is according to the draft tech value chart. The third overall pick in this year's draft is worth 22 hundred points. So we've got a rookie Williams situation here. Well, we'll have to give up next year's first.

Now, I don't know. I don't know what next year's first would be. Yeah. Well, if we get a Hall of Famer, it could be 30 seconds.

Um, I, I still think I do though. And I mean, like, honestly, honestly, if you're telling me that I can pick what position it's at, I kind of want to say, I know this is crazy and I know this is blasphemous. Um, but I kind of want to take another quarterback and then you're guaranteed that I've got a Hall of Fame quarterback and, and it's not shook. And I hate to say that, but I mean, like, that's, it's, it's something to think about.

And some, you know, if you're presenting me with that situation, like you have to at least think about maybe taking a quarterback, you know, Mendoza or something. If that's the guy, if you know, he's going to be a Hall of Fame guy for the, you know, he's going to be on your team for 15 years. Um, because, because that's, because assuming that, assuming you've got a 15 year Hall of Fame quarterback, you've got one or two Super Bowls in there. You're guaranteed.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Certainly. Dan Marino went to the Hall of Fame. He went to one Super Bowl and didn't even win.

Dan Fauch went to the Super Bowl. Went to Hall of Fame. He didn't even get to a Super Bowl. Like, John Allen's going to go to the Super Bowl and everything played in the, uh, they're going to go to the Hall of Fame.

They're even playing the Super Bowl. So that's John Allen. That's very long. I mean, he's still more.

Yeah. He's getting straight. He's getting straight. Well, anyway, anyway, anyway, yes, yes, I would take that deal.

And I wouldn't use it on a quarterback since I love shock. I think shock might be his Hall of Famer in his own right. And so I would take, uh, it's certainly a Hall of Famer in my heart, at least. And, uh, I'll take, I don't know.

So this is, so I'm going to turn the question back on you. If you're presented with this situation, what position are you drafting third overall that you know is going to be a guaranteed Hall of Famer? I might take defensive end here. I might take defensive end.

And that way we can pair our Hall of Fame quarterback time was shot on one side of the ball with the Hall of Fame defensive end on the other side of the ball. I think that's a recipe for success and surely a Super Bowl victories. At least one, maybe, maybe two. I, it's tough because if you, if you, if you pick a running back Kevin or a wide receiver, you got to, you got to, you got to get Chris Alave, you got a chain, you got to bang an offense, right?

You got, you're immediately, I think you had a Hall of Fame skill position to the same top as you immediately have a top and offense. But I think Dave's right. Like if you picked Bailey and he's a Hall of Fame defensive end and you got Chase Young, like I got a unique pass rush and I just got a bet on Kellen Moore to like figure it out on offense. I think I, I think I agree with Dave, which I hate to do.

I think I go defensive end Hall of Famer. Yeah. Got him. Kevin's disgusted with this question.

I would say defensive end. Oh, sorry. I think I'm sorry. I think I'm trying to fight something off that I may have picked up in Vegas.

I don't know. Oh, I guess. Camellia. Camellia.

Oh, that's not familiar. No, no, no, actually, I mean, maybe it could appear on my face. Who knows? Um, but I could also see Sonny Styles or R.

Vell Reese just saying, like you've got the linebacker for the next 12 to 15 years. You know, I agree. I'm more inclined to say defense. Kevin, do you think if, if, if they could pick a Hall of Famer, do you think a defensive end would help him or like if you pick Sonny Styles, right?

And he's a lack or Luke Keekley. What what elevates the Saints faster? Do you think it probably would be the defensive end that would hurt? I was faster, but the linebacker, that's the case of, look, the guy shows up and he's an immediate player, but he's not going to, he's not going to lead the team in sacks.

He's just going to be a guy who harasses the quarterback, who helps facilitate turnovers, you know, gets a couple of interceptions, things like that. I think the answer is that Hunter guys, how many Panthers are in the Hall of Fame, don't we? Great guy. That's it.

Yeah. Imagine how good he would have to be to be in the Hall of Fame. You'd have like a punter looked up for 20 years and he would be fucking insane. I mean, I don't, I don't disagree with you, but it's just, it's not, it's just not making as much of an impact on an entire game.

Twenty years? Anybody that we're talking about in this situation, I think you're assuming is going to play for 12 to 20 years. Obviously, like I wouldn't expect a, you know, a defensive end to play for 20 years. That would be ridiculous.

But I think, and look, I, again, I don't want to undervalue punting, like field position. That's a huge part of it, but I just don't know. And I just, I just don't know if you get that much value out of the imagine for him to end up in the Hall of Fame as a punter. I'll go.

He would be, he would be the great. It would, I think you would be able to make it. I think that would be the greatest punter that ever played in the game. Here's the, here's the question, Dave.

If Ray Guy, the only punter in the Hall of Fame, if he played for the Saints in the seventies and eighties, would he be in the Hall of Fame? I don't think he would be. No. I think he's in the Hall of Fame because the Raiders won two symbols.

Yeah. I think you're just like a Hall of Fame punter. You're just betting that like the only way he's getting into the Hall of Fame is if the Saints win a crapped on a rings. Yeah.

Like, but anyway, before we get to Kevin's mock draft, I want to talk to you. I want to tell you people, hard, high-ponched steel strawberry whiskey is the best whiskey in the world.

It's your turn in the way. Let me do a quick donation update before. Chill out, man. Chill out.

You'll forget that. All right. So we had one donation from Jason champagne via stream elements 12.83 his trademark amount with the message, Paul, one in memory of my mum. Oh, well, geez, sorry.

We will. All right. So we'll shoot. I mean, that derail the entire body box.

Oh, it's right. Jason Dolises. Sorry. No, wait a minute.

No, I just have. I have just some preambles here. Look, I want to say, Kevin, I support you and your right to trade down. I am.

I have always been. I always have always felt like a second lieutenant in command of the trade down ship here. But you know, there is a this is by the way, so he's putting Thomas is putting it up on the screen here. We're calling this the Saints burning phone draft.

But look, there's a limit, though, on how crazy we can get. Is this now is this going to be realistic or is this going to be totally Kevin? Is this not really a game? I mean, I'm like 10 million.

That's right. That's right. Edible Kevin. They're like, Jeff, my point is I'm in support of trading down and all that kind of stuff as long as it's like within the realm of reality and possibility.

And but like if this is if this is never going to happen, then, you know, Kevin did it while he wasn't Vegas. Oh, boy, he was on the gummies. The screen says, Saint's quote burning phone, quote draft presented by me. You got to present yours.

Ralph got to present his. Andrew got to present his. I know, but we just in the realm of realism, though. I felt that we know I'm somewhat.

Not maybe you know what? Never mind. John, I'm not. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin.

Some artists do impressionism. Some artists do realism. Some artists do naturalism. I do something else in Marxism.

I like nudism. Newtism. I do. Brutalist.

It's a. Brutalist. Oh, shit. They're right.

Brutalist. Buckling in buckling in. Oh, the problem with aggression. Let's go.

We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not picking it.

Where are we picking at? Come on. Sorry. You don't know.

No, I don't know. So you're picking at eight. Who's available at eight? Yeah.

Let's see who's available at eight. Who's available at eight? He asks. All right.

Let's see. Oh, nice. We got Ruben Bain, Nancorda Lane and Caleb Downs. That's not Ruben.

Now you forgot Ruben's middle name, which is. Or seven picks. You forgot Ruben. You forgot Ruben Bain's junior's middle name, which is Ruben T.

Rex Bain, Junior. That's right. Whoa. Kevin, quick, quick thought.

This did not go well. The first seven pick like this is not how the saints or you would ideally want this to go. And Jeremiah loves not even a male. Um, one of the tackles went in the top seven.

That was the thing that I remember. OK, was Jordan Tyson? Was he taken? No, Jordan Tyson was still available.

OK, so I'm not. I will. I will tell you this. When the names show up on the screen, there is no I'm not doing a.

Oh, I'm picking somebody that's not listed here in the three. You know, you should be trading down, though, into a totally new selection of players. No. Yeah.

Are we are we firing up the breaking news? I don't know. We're making a pick. Right.

Right. I can't see Kevin is a sizes. He is a trade guy. I can't see him picking Ruben Bain here in the T-Rex arms, Dave.

Yeah. And I can't see him going to Caleb Downs. Because Caleb Downs is the same thing. You know, I don't razz and not measurements.

Don't really matter for safety, but Caleb Downs is an elite athlete. I think I think it makes the pick. It's going to be delayed, but I think we're going to do siren here. I agree.

I agree. I'm totally with you. What do we got? So what's the pick?

Play the breaking news, siren. Oh, Lord. There we go. Of course.

Here we go. Here we go. All right. They trade up.

Oh, I got a hold of the LA Rams. I gave them pick eight. And 93. OK, too much.

So we have gone from three top 100 picks to five top 100 picks. All right. Yeah, after two questions, don't the Rams already have. Oh, no, they're trying to never mind.

Never mind. My second question is. I forgot. Never mind.

Good. Good. Kevin, I want I want to crush you on this, but I have to say you want to what you can't. I can't because here's my thing.

I have planted my flag. I believe the Rams are trading up into the top 10 to get a wide receiver. I believe in my heart, Sean McVay is tired of missing out on rock buyers. He's tired of missing out on certain skill guys, right?

So I believe the Rams are going to trade up. So it might as well be with the state, but I'm going to say. And the Rams have another. This is a ridiculous overpay by the Rams.

Like the second round pick was plenty enough to get them to eight. They gave you 93. That's a crazy. That's like that's like a 20% mark up for them to move.

Yeah, they must have been. Yeah, that triggers. That triggers. That triggers my second question.

I forgot. I wanted to ask earlier. What are you using to do this? Which platform are you using to do this?

I am using PFF. OK, not PFF. Who did the straight? That I don't know.

The straight. Yeah, but the straight this trade was was approached to you by the Rams. You didn't initiate this. Yes, every single every time it came to me.

They were all they were a limited number of teams that were willing to offer me stuff. And I don't know. And so that's why I use PFF and I use PFS and I felt like I got a ridiculous amount of trade offers. And I don't know if you feel the same way, Kevin, but like now is that indicative of like just the draft this year and the position?

The Saints are in like are we should we actually be paying attention to this fact that like we keep getting all these trade offers on all these platforms? Like are we in this? Are the Saints in this sweet spot where other things want to be in and like which would mean if they don't trade down like it like all the years? This would be the years that you would think they would trade down because we keep getting all these offers on all these simulators.

We're getting all these offers from all these other teams to trade up. I will say. Yeah, go ahead. But is this draft there's really like eight or nine elite players, depending on how you want to argue it.

I know we hate losing to the Falcons, but I got to say that loss to the Falcons instead of picking like 11. And they're picking eight. Like I really do believe it's kind of a sweet spot David because teams are going to look at the book. I think there's going to be a lot of teams that go to the board and be like, Oh, crap.

There's only one guy left with the first round grade or two guys left. We got to get up to eight to get one of the last highly graded players we have left. Kevin, I think this sets up well for the Saints and I'm going to say if the Saints were ever going to trade down from eight, that would be the offer they were going to get like that is a it's not a first in twenty twenty seven, but it's as close to a Godfather offer as I think you're going to get for the Saints. Like that's that's a good 20% mark on what would you do if you found out that Mickey was offered this and passed on it.

And just say to me. Yeah. You you would have to take those headphones off. Or I mean, you wouldn't find out until like a week later.

Yeah, you would find out about it. So then whatever the next big show we record would be Ralph would do his intro. We'd read about his hard hide Pancha Tula strawberry whiskey, delicious American light whiskey age. You know, he'd do that and then it would just be me doing Sam Kennison yelling at Mickey Loomis for about 20 straight minutes until my voice died and then I would just you would just see me with the throat code staring angrily at the camera.

Yeah. I would be. All right. Now what do you got?

What do you got? We got. So 13, let's see who we have at 13. Oh, okay.

Okay. I'm Kevin. Why not CJ Allen linebacker. It's tempting choice.

Dylan. I want to say Tiananmen, but I know it's not Tiananmen. Exactly. Not Tiananmen.

I don't think there's an end in there. I think those are all ends. Yeah. No, that's an end.

No, I don't think it is. I think it's the end. Come on. Look at lemons again.

Look at the end at the end idiots. Look at the men as an end. In the middle. That is an end.

Fuck this font. Mark. Mark. Mark.

I lemon for different between M and N. F the spot. F the spot. Theanaman is how you say it.

Thean. Yeah. Thean. Thean.

Thean. Theanaman. I'm going to play the Star Trek theme on. I'm going to Kai Lemon.

I'm going to Kai Lemon. I'm going to Kai Lemon too. And I got to say, I kind of love this. Yeah, I don't know.

Because Kevin, the average people. But I love it. People argue over them like they're a hundred percent certain. But I'll just be honest and say, Tate, Tyson, lemon.

I have no idea which one's going to be good. So if the Saints take whoever they take, I would just trust them that they know what they're doing. If it's lemon, I like it. If it's if it's theanaman in C.J.

Allen. That's kind of gross. Thomas, make the pick. To us hit the breaking news.

Sorry. That's the fucking crust. Mr. President, a second trade has hit the draft.

Oh my God. I have traded pick 13 to the Minnesota Vikings for pick 18, pick 82 and pick 97. I have now gone. Yeah, we have now gone from five first round picks to seven first round picks.

No, first one. Right. First one. Yeah.

Kevin, you keep it. I know. I'm waiting. You keep this up.

You got to. If you got a five-perch round picks, that would be something. I will. I will be happy.

Keep this up. We're not going to have the Saints are not going to have enough roster spots to sign enough UDFAs for us to have an adopted Sony F.A. draft. Exactly.

Yeah. That's the point. Isn't it? Isn't that the point to prevent Andrew fighting his campaign again?

No, who's that? Who's that? Dean? God, hold on.

Hold on. Hold on. First of all, first of all, the trains off the tracks. This has not this has become already untenable and not realistic.

Second of all, Kevin, you have us talking about now. Players seven through nine prospects who have none of none of which have been drafted yet and you're wasting a lot of time here. So please tell me we pick one of these guys. I'm just picking 18.

Well, my son should have shown who's on here. Oh, my God. I'm just thinking that 30 times it's still available. I got to take you a title and Canyon City.

Kevin, if you don't make a pick and 18, I'm going to reach through the TV with my one good arm and I'm going to knock that hat off of your head. Thomas, and look again. And look again. Now again, I would still say if we can do this.

Ah, gentlemen, the Eagles receive picks 18 42 and 97 in exchange. I get 23 54 68 98 and 114. We are wheeling and dealing. Have we fixed me out of the top 100 now?

We now have eight top 100 picks. OK, now I was going to say I was going to say we know you can pull up. If you can pull off the first two treats, even though it's crazy as it is, and I don't even think it's possible. But if you can pull those off, I would have been off for that.

But if you can pull this off, I can't. I mean, I need I need Trump to stop the war in Iran. I need him to say it to Kevin's house and force him to make a pass. This is outrageous.

He might be like, I mean, I just want Trump might issue an executive order to stop this thing from doing all this like it's not. You could have picked Jordan's eyes. You could have picked you could have picked Jordan's. And made the States offensive line great.

But instead you're you let your pick that ish. Oh, yeah. Pickle your brain. And I'm disgusted Thomas who's available at 23.

Big faces. Kenyon's CD cash is how another dude with T. Rex arms and Kate Mcdonald. Kate McDonald.

We make a is the top rated defensive tackle in the graph. And he's a great he's a good player. He's a good player. Do we did we make a pick Thomas to us?

I don't know, man. I don't know. Play the beautiful breaking news sirens. Oh, Andrew, you just has no idea what he is missing.

The bills the Buffalo bills. Not on the board. They were jealous of seeing NFC teams reach out to me. I get their pick 26.

They're one 26 and they're twenty twenty seven third in exchange for pick 23 and pick one 32. I am saving this. Which is future right here, gentlemen. I feel like it's collecting everything.

They're going to be like Bitcoin. They're not going to be worth a damn thing. I'm like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. This is like this little monkey coin thing of a Bob's.

These are like these actually have value. Did you did you did you say no to any offers at all? Or did you just anybody that came anybody that came calling you were just like, anybody that came calling. I tried to maneuver.

I tried the lazy Susan the draft machine to see what I could get and do some things like that. Jason champagne is apple plexic here in the chat. Listen, Tomas, show these people the next three players because I think you guys are going to be pleased here. I mean, listen, you can pick came.

It's what broke. It's what broke again while Thomas was putting up his name. You can pick him in that nine thousand pick. So I guess you can start taking guys with that.

I've got better feet than him and I will have this over here. Let me make a pick. I was pleased with the first three guys I saw. And then you know what?

And I was pleased with the second three guys I saw. And then I was pleased with the third three guys that I saw. So tell me, tell me which one of these guys we pick him. There's our answers back.

You know what else is back to us? The breaking news. Sorry. One more time hit for me.

Oh, okay. So this is it. This is the last showdown. The Houston Texans.

Real hometown. Take picks 26 and 68 and 114 off my plate in exchange. I get 28, 59 and 106. I've moved.

I've moved on the second round and the fourth round. And I only lose two slots in the first. How many picks do the other? I'm confused.

I'm like lost. Hold on. I'm like you move. You move up.

Now imagine me making all those graphics, man. You move up in the second round and you move down to. I guess that's what I guess that's worth it. I mean, this is not we're just now we're just picking nits.

This is Thomas. Yes. You drove. That is the enemy this week.

He's like Kevin's working me to the bone. I'm like, that's why this is so cranky. I'm probably in rude to you. You deserve all the meats and cheeses.

My God. The man is earning his meat and cheese this week. So much. Show me the new show me this new crop of players that are available at 28.

Well, and I just want to go. Same three guys. I finally paid off gentlemen. The same three guys that were available before are still there from 26 to 28.

And let me tell you, I made a selection here. Oh, yeah. No more breaking news. Because I was going to say because you said play for one last time, play the breaking news.

I was sorry that that was the last. Oh, we got. We're getting. No, no, stop.

He's picking. He's picking Denzel Boston. And you know what? Obviously it doesn't matter who he picks because we're picking again at 54 and then we're picking again at 59 and then we're picking again at 61 and then we're picking again at 73 and then we're picking again at 82 and then we're picking again at 92 and then we're picking at 90.

Oh, these crimes, man. Doesn't really matter. I mean, I got to say, I got to say, you have so many picks, but you have as many picks as you have and to go 30 spots between picks. Not good allocation of resources.

Thomas, make the pick. All right. No, all right. All right.

I was hoping to do that. 28, 26 and it'll draft. So select. Caleb bags.

Defes. If I call floor from Florida. All right. I like.

No, no, no, six, six, 30. This guy giant of a man, six, six, 330 pounds, the 9.83. You can complain about about a broken foot. The broken foot will be fine over the summer.

Right. The foot injury will be fine over the summer in plenty of time to get training camp in plenty of time to get preseason in plenty of time for the regular season. I am fully prepared to roll with this guy into the regular season. The defensive tackle is a high position of need.

It is. And frankly, I don't think we need to like God, shout and then Christian Boyd as your two defensive tackles on the roster. No way. We need an injection of new blood and I like.

I like this pick because you're going to have a ton of other picks. So you mitigate the risk. But this is your number one guy, your draft class. I don't know.

And Dave, I still don't trust that. Lost a lot to you, man. And broken bones. I'm concerned.

Is six. I mean, he's 330 pounds. I mean, like that's definitely a number you want for your defensive tackle when you're running a three, four, but he's six, six though. That's obviously the breaking news.

He broke his foot again. But he's all right. He's six. I mean, that kind of spreads it out a little bit.

I mean, is he is he is he stout or big stout enough for this? His height, his weight, his hand size, his arm length, all of those are elite. His vertical jump was above average. His broad jump was above average.

Dave, if his feet, if his foot was not, if his foot wasn't made of porcelain, he'd be a top five. What about bone density? Kevin, bone density. No, no, no.

Wait, are you telling me that he has a history of foot injuries or does he just broke the foot? He broke the foot in November and then he broke it again at the combine. All right. Same foot.

The same foot. Okay. Yeah. That's okay.

That is the concern. All right, Thomas, what do we got at 54? He's got the rest with the broken foot. Yeah.

Open. Kevin did a line before the show. All right. Look, look, people look as far as like injuries are concerned, like I think we all we all love broken bones over soft tissue injuries, like broken bones, you know, they take six weeks, whatever they heal, you're back on, you know, it doesn't have, you know, but I guess I just am a little concerned that he's breaking the same foot twice in a short period of time.

There's a little bit of osteoporosis concern there. Yes, it is. I like it. It's a big activity for AJ Holsey LSU safety, uh, Jidarian, Bryce running back.

Notrodame, Jennings Dunker, tackle Iowa. Um, I don't know. I guess you get one at 51. Kevin Dunker.

Can you see? Can he get an operating? Can he get operation? Get operation.

Get these. Actually I'm off of that. I know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I didn't share my opinion yet. Okay. I think we mentioned earlier. He doesn't really have anything between 28 and 54 He's kind of a no-man's land there and he's got an abundance of all these other picks I think I think maybe I think maybe he trades up here What are you insane?
