I am doing pretty dandy today, Seren. Are you? Are you excited about it being draft week? I'm excited for draft week. I'm excited for Royals week. And we've got Royals and draft with this weekend at the Truman Sports Complex, so I won't have anywhere to park for Friday and Saturday.

74.11 - 76.354 Sports Analyst

Oh, so it's all about you. It is all about me.

76.394 - 77.836 Matt Derrick

That is exactly what I'm saying.

78.076 - 79.318 Sports Analyst

Okay.

79.338 - 79.819

All right. All right.

80.322 - 108.261 Sports Analyst

Let's talk wide receivers real quick. Jazoo Jay was just calling in before you joined us. Do you have a wide receiver that is the guy you think would be the best fit for the Chiefs? Or maybe it's up at 9, maybe it's at 29, or a later round guy that you look at and go, oh, I like you. Because Jazoo Jay likes Jeff Caldwell from Cincinnati. who I've got to go a ways down here.

Chapter 2: Which wide receivers are potential fits for the Chiefs in the draft?

293.337 - 313.468 Matt Derrick

I don't know how much of what we're hearing right now, especially this week, is just gamesmanship and how much of it is just... One agent or one team, somebody's trying to get some information out there. So make somebody else second guess themselves. I don't understand it because I mean, you heard from Brett Veach last week. I mean, I think that most NFL GMs have their own opinion.

313.869 - 321.3 Matt Derrick

It's not like they're going to see something on ESPN and say to themselves, oh, my gosh, I can't be taking Ruben Bain at nine. I mean, this guy's got maturity problems.

0

321.854 - 329.525 Curious Host

But how much is what you see on ESPN? Are they actually hearing from these people in honesty? Exactly.

0

329.606 - 332.35 Matt Derrick

I don't know. Either one of these guys have maturity problems.

0

332.37 - 333.211 Curious Host

Exactly.

333.832 - 338.599 Sports Analyst

Well, there'll be a guy that all the mock drafts are putting in the first round that's sitting there in the third.

339.26 - 339.981 Curious Host

Yes.

340.045 - 361.176 Sports Analyst

I mean, it happens every year. They were just never that high on the board and the real teams. And so, therefore, we watch that happen always. I want to stay on Jordan Tyson because would you be comfortable with them taking him at 9?

361.696 - 379.868 Matt Derrick

I would. I mean, I think that this is, again, it's a pretty, I feel like, limited first round group. I think he is one of those players that I would have a first round grade on. So, yeah, and I wouldn't have that many. I mean, my first round grades would probably be about 12 guys that I think are legitimate in there.

Chapter 3: How do maturity issues affect draft decisions for players like Jordan Tyson?

807.746 - 812.633 Matt Derrick

Maybe they're not going to light the world on fire, but they're going to be good quality players for you.

812.95 - 831.485 Sports Analyst

Let's take a break. I want to talk about the Dexter Lawrence trade. I want to hear from Andy Reid as well. Matt Derrick is with us. He's brought to you by our friends at Gann Asphalt and Concrete.

All right, the Twin Peaks end of the hour answer. We're back into the 80s. Former Chiefs running back Theotis Brown, 69 today. He's probably rocking to this song then. Who did he say was his high school locker mate? Who was Theotis Brown's high school locker mate at, I think it was Skyview High School in Oakland? Wasn't a football player, but he is very famous.

858.505 - 859.066 Matt Derrick

MC Hammer.

859.606 - 859.726 Curious Host

No.

859.827 - 860.788 Matt Derrick

Good try.

860.808 - 861.008 Curious Host

No.

861.028 - 861.448 Matt Derrick

Good try.

861.909 - 862.009 Curious Host

Nope.

Chapter 4: What are the pros and cons of drafting a wide receiver at pick 9?

1088.728 - 1111.339 Sports Analyst

You sure did. Wow. Bang up job. Yep. That's why I love you guys. All right. Well, thank you, Matt. We love you, too. All right. So, Dexter. was traded from the New York Giants to the Cincinnati Bengals for the No. 10 pick. Let's start with this. We talked about this a couple of weeks ago. You said you wouldn't give up a first-round pick. It clearly would have taken No. 9.

0

1111.92 - 1116.611 Sports Analyst

So just to get you on the record, you would not... Would not. Would not have given up No. 9. No.

0

1116.851 - 1117.874 Matt Derrick

Okay.

0

1117.894 - 1118.475 Sports Analyst

And...

0

1118.455 - 1121.197 Matt Derrick

And then given the contract, no. No, no, no.

1121.278 - 1127.443 Sports Analyst

Yeah, what are the numbers on the contract? Have we seen dollar figures yet on what it is?

1127.463 - 1129.705 Matt Derrick

I hadn't yet, so I didn't know if I was just out of the loop.

1130.045 - 1144.018 Sports Analyst

He'll turn 29 this year. You know, to me, what this says more than anything is why didn't the Chiefs trade Chris Jones?

1144.098 - 1145.919 Matt Derrick

That's a fair question. Yeah, no.
