Episode notes

NFC draft recap is full of fair-weather-fan accusations, absurd surgery language, Cardinals incompetence, and the crew's habit of roasting its own analysis.

ability like I think he is not going to work out these screen warriors in college don't translate to the NFL I I am guessing he will not be a good fantasy player but if he hits what his skill is is is you know it's it is the Tyreek Hill is kind of stop start that no one else can do and so should he hit It is, it's a scratcher ticket. You know, it's like you're probably going to lose, but if you win, you could win big. That's what a scratcher ticket's about. Which, to be fair, this year's draft. I can't win if you don't play. This year's draft in the, where he's going in the late second, third round of rookie drafts. Yeah, sure. It's all crap. Go for upside. Well, and that's where I'm letting quarterback situations determine my differentiator and a lot of rookie drafts where.

55:23 ↗

Yeah, Atlanta has two of them. You just talked about Antonio Williams. Well, you got Jaden, right? Like, at least there's that. And here I get like the double whammy of you got a hit and then you got a hit with crap at quarterback. Maybe, maybe. But probably, yes, you have crap. Tampa Bay, eight and nine. Fantasy winners for Tampa Bay. We didn't find another running back in this draft that is a benefit for Bucky Irving. We didn't. really have a whole lot else going on other than the third round selection of Ted Hurst. This is one of the deepest, even with the departure of Mike Evans, it's still one of the deepest wide receiver rooms in the league with Abuka and Godwin and McMillan and Tess Johnson. Kate Otten soaking up targets. I know you guys like Ted Hurst. I don't know if you need an injury to have a rookie season. I think it's bad news for, oh, no, no, I can't think of it. Tess Johnson.

56:17 ↗

Yeah. I think Tess will be the odd man out. I agree he would be the odd man out. I thought Tess played great last year. He was. He was very good. This is, like you said, this is a very deep wide receiver core, but it is not full of firmly established. You've got Godwin and you've got a Bucca. Those two guys aren't going anywhere based on draft capital and contract. And then they've got a lot of other talent, but it's not anyone that is so established that someone can't come in over the top. And be the three. Ted Hurst. Well, be the three this year, but Godwin, you know, at this age with the departure of Mike Evans. Ted Hurst is, I mean, he's obviously not a Mike Evans, but he's a taller field stretching guy that can do. Was he six four or something? Some of the same stylistic, you know, routes and, you know, losing Mike Evans matters for this team. And they went out and they said, hey, day two, we're going to, we're going to target Ted Hurst. They were hursty. That, oh, I like it. I'm going to take a drink on that one. I shouldn't. I'm, I'm Hursty.

57:14 ↗

Oh, man. Refreshing. Sometimes you say it. And then the reaction, you're like, man, I really wish I wouldn't have. There you go. I like Ted Hurst and I like the landing spot. You've painted the picture pretty well on an opportunity to break through. It's not like, you know, Tess had 22 catches. Jeremy Millen was hurt and came back and caught 12 passes. So it's not like those two guys were dominators. I think they're both good. But there is room for the size of a player like Ted Hurst to. establish some dominance. Carolina, offensive tackle, defensive tackle, third round pick of Chris Brazel the second. Brazel. Brazel. Brazzled, dazzle. Brazzled, dazzle. That's from Chicago. These, all my musical theater, people. Jeremy, you got me. He's like, yeah, you're right. He's like, you got it. Nerds. Chris Brasel, the second. Third round pick.

58:16 ↗

I did think Carolina would go after. I know. That's all it is. I like his film. I like his production. I like his measurables. And then he's from Tennessee. I'm out. What was that? That was the Adonai Mitchell and Xavier worthy? Jalen. No, they were Texas. Hyatt? Oh, that were both Texas. No, no. You're thinking of Jalen Hyatt. Yeah. What's wrong with that guy? For some reason, Tennessee. From last year, they just. Tennessee is able to produce a lot of statistics that somehow are manufactured well in college and doesn't translate. He's a good player. He is, and he's the son of a former NFL player, which, you know, so you know he's grown up knowing ball. Day 2 draft capital goes to the Carolina Panthers who really need another weapon outside of Tetaroa.

59:08 ↗

Yeah, they have Jalen Koker, who will be healthy this year and has been productive. They have Xavier League at your favorite player in football. He's still there. But there's an opportunity there for sure. Chuba Hubbard, like we said, they didn't go after a running back. It's good for Jonathan Brooks and Chuba Hubbard. Trevor E.T.N. is still there. AJ Dillon's still there. So that's going to be your backfield. Any of the thoughts on Carolina? I think it about does it. Okay. We got through it. We did it. NFC winners and losers in the books. What do we have coming up next week? Don't we have some overreaction episodes coming up? We do. We've got some things. Players to forgive. That's what I was going to say. You got some producers to forgive. What do you think Papa Josh isn't here today? We're not ready. Yeah, I have not. We're not ready to forgive him. He's certainly not on vacation with his family. Something he did. We went golfing today. We did. You got back on the course. People, I don't know why I didn't open with that.

60:07 ↗

You found the other half of your putter on whole nine. Yes. Like you pulled, he pulled it out of his bag. I was trying to put a club in my bag and I was like, what is blocking this? And then I reached in and the other half of my putter was in the long half. Yeah, the shaft. The shaft of the putter. And then you left it like on the ground by some bird feather. So it looked like you had killed. When we rolled up. Did you see that? We left it for you guys. Yeah. We rolled up and we were like, someone murdered a bird. Yes. That's what that's. We wanted you to believe that. We wanted you to see that I murdered a bird.

60:36 ↗

uh you you had a good time i had a better time adjusted expectations not statistically i had a better time emotionally i had fun golfing with you yeah it's good that's good you know there we've had quite a few people reach out since we've started i will say this you know because we're golfers now yeah i totally golf which by the way mike came out today for the first time and how long has it been since you golfed pre pandemic pre pandemic he he played great better than all of us or so i've been told i was not in his for some

61:04 ↗

But they're all bragging on it. Unfortunately, I was. And he played great. And how did you play out? I did not play well. This is what's unfortunate. Like we had a bet last week and about me versus you. And we both played pretty poorly. Yep. And I played the same this week. I did last week. But you played just. Much worse. Terrible. I would have smoked you. Apparently I'm really motivated by a $100 bill. Hold on. Your whole story right there was you played equally bad. Exactly. But you would have smoked him. Smoked him. If he had just played worse than you. Yes, like he did this week. Is that too much to ask? I don't know. I don't know what it is. I don't know what we do on the golf course. But it's getting hotter in Arizona. So who knows if we'll keep doing it. Get out there at 4 a.m.
