What up twin?

0

207.228 - 248.263 Clifford Taylor IV

I forgot his name. What's his name again? Titus. Titus. Hey chat, if you were to grade some of the, chat, if you were to grade the draft so far from A to F, what would you grade it? I mean, for me, I mean, everything has been A plus.

0

248.924 - 253.512 Tom Boak

Everything's been A plus for me. I think it's somewhat of a, I hate to use the word week.

0

Chapter 7: What are the biggest surprises from the first round of the draft?

253.532 - 260.699 Tom Boak

I hate to use the word week draft, but it's nothing comparable to some of the other drafts, some of the iconic drafts that we've had before.

0

261.199 - 271.029 Clifford Taylor IV

But it's been okay. Based on what we had available, I give it maybe a B plus so far. Somebody said a C. Yeah, a C is good.

0

278.156 - 283.87 Tom Boak

Damn, a D? Somebody got A's, A's, B's.

0

284.511 - 305.59 Clifford Taylor IV

I give it a B. I give it a B. That draft with, I think it was the Miles Garrett year, is iconic. The draft with, is it Miles Garrett year? Oh, chat. The Chargers are taking Akeem Mesidor.

0

Chapter 8: What predictions do the hosts have for the next rounds of the draft?

305.772 - 318.431 Clifford Taylor IV

Akeem Mesidor, University of Miami, Hurricane defensive end. So that's dope. That's both of the Miami defensive ends obviously going. One to San Diego, one to Tampa Bay.

0

319.092 - 325.362 Tom Boak

Akeem Mesidor to the San Diego Chargers. I mean, excuse me, LA Chargers. I'm talking about San Diego.

0

325.562 - 352.642 Clifford Taylor IV

The LA Chargers, yeah. The Canadian kid, right? From UM, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So that's three first rounders for them. That's dope. That's dope. 2D, two on defense and the offensive tackle. Still got a chance. Scott might sneak in the first round a little later. Cowboys on the clock, Ocho. All right, Cowboys. What you liking, Ocho? What you thinking? You know what?

0

354.304 - 383.153 Clifford Taylor IV

Hell, get that corner back out of Tennessee. You know what? They do need the corner to go with Bland, huh? Hell yeah. Cause Bland, Bland, he been living up to his name lately. He chicken with no season. Bland. Hey, come on. Hey, that's a good one. Chat, am I lying? I say they either, they go DB or maybe they, I don't know. Receiver? No?

0

383.373 - 428.649 Clifford Taylor IV

I'm saying D, I'm saying the guy Caleb Downs, go DB or go middlebacker. Middle backer. Is there a bit of backer with that? They got a great grata grade. That's worthy of that. Jamar McCoy. Or or you can't have enough pass rushes Ocho. That was their problem, consistently getting to the quarterback. Normally they had to bring extra pressure. Extra pressure means you gotta sacrifice the back end.

428.91 - 475.75 Clifford Taylor IV

When your back end is not up to par, you're vulnerable. And they got sacrificed too. They did. Dallas need offense, need defense. Colton Hood. And then the Browns are going to be on the clock. I'm going to get a wide receiver here. It might go get another offensive lineman. Sure that thing off the deck? No, I'm talking about the Browns. The Browns are on the clock next. Cowboys are counting down.

475.77 - 533.593 Clifford Taylor IV

They're under two and a half on the clock. Somebody said to take the Rodriguez kids out of Texas Tech. They definitely need to buy a middle backer. I don't know if he has that kind of grade on him to pick his end. Oh, yeah. McCoy, Tennessee. Any word? What are we looking like? What are we looking like? Jerry's on the phone. What about the Allen kid, the linebacker, Georgia?

534.154 - 558.749 Clifford Taylor IV

They need a middle backer, man. You know what? Yeah, because Logan Logan is gone. I mean, they bought him in from Cincinnati. He I don't know why I don't know why he he wanted out of Cincinnati and went to that. I'm like, bro, you're not like that. That's what's always puzzling to me. Ocho when a guy is he's a guy and congratulations, but I'm saying you like, oh, I want to go. So, huh?

560.311 - 561.473 Tom Boak

I'm trying to I'm trying to think.
