This is the Dan Levitard Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Are we still locked into the draft tonight? Last night was only the first round. Dolphins have one pick tonight in the second round. They got two picks tonight in the third round. They're going to mess it up. Dave, you're locked in, right, tonight? Round two, three, you're in? Well, sure. I'm obviously going to be watching. It is, again, I don't want to beat the dead horse or dead dolphin, but the idea, again, that they're kind of sort of starting from square one that you don't value the quantity of picks is strange. To deal away third-round picks, I mean, those are viable options. that could turn into human beings that are potentially good at football.
They can definitely turn into human beings. Yes. Right. Well, I mean, they almost every single time that there's a draft pick made, it's a high chance. But speaking of that, though, see what will not continue into the second round is the hugging of the guy who just got drafted, the one who's physically there. They embrace, as you know, because who is the second guy who takes over for Goodell? Like, Goodell only makes the main event. He doesn't stick around to glad hand with second round or shame the devil. My question is, though, for you, Zazz, if you come out, it's a fraught kind of situation to do what I'm going to say here. Would you, though, hug Roger Goodell if you came out onto the stage? I, yeah, I think I would like that.
It seems to be a rite of passage for these guys where they want to get to the point like you're working so hard in high school, you work hard in college. I want to be able to hug Roger Goodell on the stage. Is that a thing now? I think so. It's interesting because for me, it feels plainly like Roger Goodell is trying to ingratiate himself at the player level. Clearly he is against them. Right. He's against the players union. He's for the owners. But this is his little make good and it makes him look good. It makes him look down to earth. Why do I got to play ball with you, Goodell? I don't owe you nothing except. He is kind of, sort of, even though you're on opposite ends of the labor stuff, he is kind of, sort of, your boss, so you do have to hug him, or else now you're a ne'er-do-well, right out of the gate.
Refuse the hug, but you would also, the football community would also enjoy it, too, if you stiff-armed Roger Goodell. I'm not here to play grab-ass, I'm here to play ball, right? Like, if afterward they asked him, why didn't you hug the commissioner, he says, I'm not here to play grab-ass. That's exactly what I'm saying to you, right? That would be a statement by itself to say that. No, but they come across very excited, though, to hug him. It's not like the commissioner, hey, come here, give me a hug. They're excited. But then they sway back and forth slowly like an old couple celebrating their golden anniversary kind of thing. It's uncomfortable for me to look at. Ty Simpson to the Rams at number 13 was a pretty polarizing pick.
I think it's a great spot for Ty Simpson, all right? You get to be the backup with no prep. Normally a quarterback gets selected number 13 overall. You're going to say, hey, by what game this season is he going to be the starter? That's not the case with Ty Simpson. He's going to get to chill and learn and be behind an MVP and a Super Bowl champion, Matt Stafford. And the best part is when it's eventually your turn, Sean McVay. Like, Sean McVay is going to be your head coach, and whatever you think about Ty Simms, it's like, alright, but that guy, Sean McVay, you know, kind of similar with Sean Payton, where he took Bo Nixler. It's like, alright, we didn't think Bo Nixler was going to go this early, but Sean Payton kind of knows what he's doing with quarterbacks, and I think you probably have to feel the same with Sean McVay.
And so last night... at the Rams availability after they made the pick you got the general manager Les Snead you got the head coach Sean McVay they're up there answering questions about the pick which
