Chapter 3: What insights does Colin provide on the Lakers' playoff performance?
The NBA since 2000 has been completely lopsided toward the West. There have been teams like the Raptors can win a title. Or the Celtics. But the West is so dominant. And so no Wemby for at least... Two more games? We're going back to San Antonio. I think we're going back to San Antonio. I think the Spurs will figure out a way to split on the road, but here's De'Aaron Fox on when be going down.
Obviously, that's a big piece that's going to be missing, but, you know, we've played games without him. We've played games without a plethora of guys. You know, you say next man up mentality, but the entire team has to step up because he leaves a big hole in the lineup, both offensively and defensively.
Obviously, we don't know how long he's going to be out, but we've got to be ready to play without him.
So De'Aaron Fox is their veteran. Coming into this playoff series against Portland, this was the concern. The starting lineup for the Spurs only had seven games of total playoff experience, and that was the Aaron Fox.
So it's the new kids on the block, and I think they could win a title, but they're not going to win a title without Wemby because they were fine after he got hurt in the second, in the third, beginning of the fourth. They had a comfortable lead, but this is what the playoffs do. This is why you saw old C.J. McCollum for the Hawks. You see old Marcus Smart and LeBron for the Lakers.
The old men, the old guys, these are the guys that can deliver. They don't get tight. They don't always win, but they don't get tight, and San Antonio did. JMAC, the Western Conference is nuts. Now, there are some rumors today from two different sources that Two plugged-in sources on the Dallas Cowboys being the team that trades up. Well, it's interesting. It's not who they're trading up for.
And I got to tell you, I don't like this at all. And I'm going to give people a reminder. Dallas... can sometimes be a fun house mirror, right? You're not sure you're really, you're kind of looking at the thing. Everybody's look, everything gets distorted a little because there's the Cowboys, but there is one thing you can say about him that most people don't.
And I think trading up is the opposite. of what they should do, and I'm going to address that next. Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays at noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, FS1, and the iHeartRadio app.

Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 was big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.
We also have eggs on the table right now.
Thank you for finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah.

Chapter 5: What are the Cowboys considering for the upcoming NFL draft?
He's the best receiver in the class. He is, and he had zero drops last year on 66 targets is what I was told, and I actually confirmed that the other day when I was talking about it another time. He is the prototype size. He goes up and gets the ball. He's got a huge catch radius, and 85% of his contested targets he comes down with. Here's the thing about Cornel Taito. He was a one-year wonder.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of trading up in the draft for the Cowboys?
You kind of heard about him. Everybody wanted to see him really develop. I shouldn't say one-year wonder, but he was a guy that really, they weren't quite sure he would be that first-rounder, but that's what happens with young players. He is without question the best receiver in the NFL draft.
There's a couple of offensive linemen that Miami's got one that, hey, he's a decent right tackle, but you can move him inside. Does that worry you? Do you? I mean, like to me. Spencer Fano from Utah, people say that's a right tackle. Well, they said that about Tristan Wirfs at Iowa, and now he's both, and he's great. So Andrew Thomas, I like with the Giants, he was a pure left tackle.
He struggles with health. So when you looked at offensive line, when you were at Ohio State, you guys were monsters up front. Is there a set of rules? I mean, what if a guy is a good tackle, a great guard? Did that ever concern you, or did you look at that as an ally, as a strength? I actually would get in an argument with the coaches about it. He's a better right tackle than a left tackle.
And I said, you know, what does that matter? To me, it's all about what's comfortable when he pops out of his stance. You know, it's not, you know, you put your worst tackle, right tackle. So what does that mean?
you're still facing a great defensive end you know and you still have the same issues so and they say the blind side i don't i don't buy that it's to me it's all that comfort level you put that player if he's a better lap down and a lot of people have done a lot of arguments about this but when i was a head coach i won the arguments if i'm going to put my best tackle at the position he's most comfortable not left tackle i've never bought that
Because it's all if he's right-handed, left-handed, and how he pops out of his stance. And you can tell that fairly early in a player. Yeah. What is, in your career, the hardest position to evaluate? I'm a GM. And most guys, you have a pretty good sense after three years at Ohio State what they are. But there are guys, I mean, Brock Purdy, seventh round, ends up being a high-level quarterback.
Puka Nakua, fifth round. Jawan Jennings. Omeron St. Brown, fourth round. What is a position that you found in your life that maybe matured older? Maybe you just you as a guy that was a great talent personnel guy, it sometimes even fooled you.
You know, I look at Joe Burrow, you know, Joe Burrow is a guy that has a competitive spirit from, as a young kid, he was a Denver state champion and I might've won the state championship in basketball. And he was just a late developer. And so you look at the kids that are late developers and you try to find as much data or information on just what kind of competitor, what kind of worker is.
If you would have told us Joe Burrow would be the arguably one of the top two, three quarterbacks in the NFL. Back when we recruited him as a junior out of Southern Ohio, people thought you're out of your mind. But there was something about that guy that he was the most competitive guy you've ever been around, toughest guy you've ever been around.
