Here we go, hour two. We are rolling. Draft is Thursday. Boy, tonight is an unbelievable NBA playoff night. Lakers tonight. Houston in trouble. Is Katie going to play?
What strategies should the Lakers employ against the Rockets?
Atlanta roars back and beats the Knicks. Minnesota giving Jokic some issues. And if Jokic is struggling or off his game a little, Denver's in trouble. So the draft is Thursday. Again, in the last decade, and this is hard to do, the NFL is not college sports, where the better you are, the better recruiting class you have. In the NFL, if you're awful, the league tries to help you out, giving you better draft picks. And yet the Jets and the Giants in the last decade have the two worst records in the league. Almost impossible. Almost impossible. And when I suggested something this weekend, oh, it was method outrage. Or I said, listen, in the last five drafts, you've drafted one Pro Bowl player, Malik Nabors, and now he's hurt.
In 2019, you had three picks. One, Dexter Lawrence hit. One was a total bust. I think he's out of the league for years.
How does the NFL Draft affect team strategies this year?
And the other one, Daniel Jones, wasn't ideal. So my take on this draft is number five pick, just make a statement, best player in the draft. But with your number 10 pick, either take the Penn State interior offensive lineman or a tackle. Make it a long-term. This is what Jim Harbaugh did. I'm taking Joe Walt, not a receiver. Like, I'm getting a guy that can play left or right tackle. And the Giants are like, hey, we're good at tackle. Oh, really?
Okay.
Okay. Well, I love Andrew Thomas, too. He's averaging nine and a half starts the last three years. And I think he's terrific when he's on the field. So your right tackle is going to have to go over and play left.
What insights does Nick Wright provide about the Giants' draft picks?
I would go get Freeling from Georgia, who's an insanely athletic 6'7 tackle. Probably doesn't need to start this year. But by next year, you're looking at a big-time player. I mean, athlete can run down the field like it's a tight end.
