All right, so what I said on Simmons' podcast last week was that I don't think he's going to go in the first round, and yet you're not going to hear that being vocalized. Like, it's just not worth it. The juice is not worth the squeeze.

And what I meant was, look, we don't know that, so it's safer to put any quarterback in the first round when they're being rumored as a first-round quarterback, even if you're hearing you don't have a team necessarily. And in the case of Shador – I think a lot of people were pulling for him to go in the first round in the media. And I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody else.

I just know Dion has been an icon for all of us growing up. He's also been a colleague of many of the people in the media. He worked at NFL Network for 15 years. He also has been with CBS. He's worked with ESPN. He's got a documentary on Amazon. He does stuff. He does his own show with Tubi. He does a lot of interviews. So it's like, what's the win if you think- He does barstool. Of course he did.

No joke. I've totally forgot about that. The college stuff that you guys did with him. So it's like you start thinking about it and you're like, all right, so he's a borderline first round pick. And I do a mock draft. I put him 21 to the Steelers. I do one mock draft. And you would have thought I had put him going in the seventh round, the response. And it wasn't from Dion.

But the media started believing that, all right, he'll go somewhere in the first round. But my job is different than Lewis Riddick or Mel Kriper or Daniel Jeremiah. My job is to get on the phones and get things from the teams. And I did not have a single team who was like, if Shador falls to us, we're taking him. Right. So... I went through the different teams that needed quarterbacks.

I put them to the Steelers on a hope and a prayer. And I went on get up on Thursday morning and said, guys, I literally put a blindfold on and pointed to the Steelers and said, if any coach can unilaterally say like, he's my guy, I'm taking him. It's Tomlin. They needed a quarterback. And I know his meeting went really well with them two weeks ago. Like, I know it. He went there Friday.

He was there for five hours. They loved him. And Arthur Smith liked him. Tomlin liked him. So I'm like, it makes sense. But in the same breath on that episode of Get Up, guys, I was like, or he's not getting drafted in the first round. Right. And then it starts. Now, that's all good. I never, never thought he would slip to day three.
