Speaker 1 (00:18):
From Broncos Park powered by Common Spirit.

Speaker 5 (00:21):
That's a Denver show.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
This is the Kowa Broncos Radio Network.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
Well, we've been waiting for this for a long time
and it's finally here.

Speaker 6 (00:36):
We welcome you to Broncos Park powered by Common Spirit.
It is time, indeed for the National Football League Draft,
and we are here to cover tight's first round action.
Dave Logan, Ryan Edwards, Benjamin Albright Benjamin of course our
NFL insider Fellas. We've been talking about this seemingly for
the last I don't know, five months or so, and

(00:58):
now it is finally here. Ben, you're feverishly working your
cell phone. Do you have any information you can heap
upon us early?

Speaker 7 (01:07):
Oh my goodness, there's just a lot of stuff going
around right now this draft. Because of the lack of
top tier, blue chip purple stick or whatever one you
want to call them, type players, there's gonna be a
lot of action here. It looks like his teams try
to jock you around, maybe get in the top ten
and get their guy if they believe that they can.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
Right now, we've got every network out.

Speaker 7 (01:26):
They're reporting that the Jaguars and Cleveland Browns are at
least in discussions that would put the Jaguars up to
two for Travis Hunter and probably put that fifth pick
into play, because I'm not sure that the Cleveland Browns
would be selecting Ashton Channy at that point. I think
they've probably been looking for an offensive tackle and be
willing to move back in an effort to get that.
So does that mean that all of a sudden, the
Denver Broncos have enough ammo maybe to try to get

(01:46):
up to five. That seems like a stretch to me,
but I you know, a stranger things have happened.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
We have Diana Rasiding right now saying that the Denver
Broncos are making an aggressive push to again inside the
top ten literally two minutes ago.

Speaker 8 (02:00):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Wow, that'd be a lot of ammunition.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
So we're talking about if they if they would move
from twenty into the top ten. We're talking about I
don't have I don't have the numbers in front of
me we're talking about probably next year's number.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
One, Oh absolutely, yes, and then and more.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Well obviously I was I was trying to finish. Second,
I think next year's number one, A two, and a three,
maybe the following I mean, how many draft choices. Let's
just play with their money for a minute, to move
from twenty to five.

Speaker 7 (02:34):
Well, that's never been done before. First of all, the
highest move up.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
I think you'd be looking at something like the Ricky
Williams deal. Basically that was Mike Ditta, right, yeah, Mike
dick is the Saints. I mean you're basically speaking of Saints,
but you basically be looking at the Ditka deal. To
do that. If you're looking at the points chart, man,
that is a I mean to jump here, like so
just going to ten and I'm looking at this value chart,

(02:59):
You're going you have eight hundred and fifty. You need
thirteen hundred for ten, so I mean, that's that's at
least a day too. I mean, that's your fifty one
for sure, and then and.

Speaker 7 (03:12):
Then the next year pick, which, by the way, the
next year value on the points chart, you do value
that by around for the next year, So maybe you
get away with two seconds.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
You're talking about next year's one and two seconds. No, no, no,
I'd say this year's one and two seconds probably mathematically
gets you. There may not be enough. It's an interesting
draft though, because in a lot of ways, I guess
we have the commissioner now, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Why don't we go to the podium in Green Bay to.

Speaker 9 (03:36):
The twenty twenty five NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
People said that Greenway was too small for this, with
a population of one hundred and.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Seven thousand, But we have over one hundred.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
And twenty five thousand people here and still county. Obviously
green Bay may be small, but it's mighty thank you
all for welcome us here tonight and.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Hope you have a great few days.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
So I'm wondering if the Commissioner is going to officially
open the draft.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Over the next three days, we will welcome in the
next generation of stars into the NFL and bring hope
to every NFL team, and we may have a few
surprises for you tonight. But first let's hear from some
I know your packer greats. Please welcome Clay Matthews.

Speaker 10 (05:09):
Jordy Nelson, Mason Crosby, Formercu, Putter.

Speaker 9 (05:23):
Kingstones, and Packer super fan lull Wayne.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Right, I'm gonna go off strip here real.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
Quick, Roger.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
But I just got off the phone with the President,
Donald Trump.

Speaker 11 (05:46):
He asked me to post the message alone tall thirty
two NFL franchisees.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
So let me tell you what it reads here.

Speaker 11 (05:55):
All right, this says my bottle Mountains, the blow still suck.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
Play Matthews.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Getting the crowd riled up, ed Lambeau.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
So the Packers have posted for the first time the
NFL Draft, and I'm still thinking that Roger Goodello is
going to announce that the clock is starting.

Speaker 12 (06:36):
It's time to get the show starting.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
Are you ready?

Speaker 5 (06:42):
It's like a rock concert. The twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
NFL Draft is now officially open.

Speaker 12 (06:50):
The Tennessee Titans that are on the clock.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
So you got to admit that the NFL certainly they
do it the right way if you like that kind
of show.

Speaker 7 (07:01):
Yeah, the theatricality is they certainly welcome all that. So
I guess a bit of almost a wrestling it felt
like with the intro there.

Speaker 6 (07:09):
So the Tennessee Titans around the clock. No, it'll be
no surprise here. More than likely it'll be cam Ward
and you're hearing continually been that the Browns and the Jaguars,
and you had this earlier in the day, are are
very close to having a deal made that would allow
the Jaguars to move up to the second pick.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
Yeah, that would be for Travis Hunter. The Jaguars have
coveted them throughout the process.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
I just didn't think they'd have the amo to go
from five to two and make that happen. I also
didn't think Cleveland would do it. But as it appears,
there's several people out there now reporting that the framework
excuse me, Jake Lazer there, so the framework of this
is at least in play, in place for once the
Titans select cam Wards, so the Jags know who they want,
and it would obviously not be cam Ward. Now that

(07:56):
that starts to change the calculus of everything else here,
because if that happens, now, all of a sudden, you've
got Cleveland sitting there at five, they're probably on a
trench's pick either either defensive line or offensive line. And
would they do that there at five or would they
seek to go back even further? And does that open
things up for Ashton Janty to maybe fall into a
comfortable range.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Where all of a sudden, the Denver Bronco's trying to
move up might have the ammunition. Yeah, that's what I'm
gaining right now. People are asking on not only Twitter
as well as on the text line, just asking, okay, well,
if you're trying to straight up inside the top ten,
what are you going for? Tyler Warren will be there,
I guess in that range. And then yeah, used to
sort of hope that you could maybe make another move

(08:36):
to get Ashton Janny. I mean, I just have a
hard time imagining he gets all the way to ten.
But you're saying this trade in itself might actually perpetuate
more sort of shifts and what we thought was gonna
happen in the top ten.

Speaker 7 (08:48):
Yeah, I mean, at that point, you know, you wonder
if the Raiders, who I think are you know, if
they're not taking Janny, and I think they love some
of the offensive linemen there. At that point, then you
start to wonder, Okay, you know the Panthers want to
move out at eight, how many cents off the dollar
would they be willing to take at that point to
get up there? Getting twenty to eight, you know, is

(09:09):
kind of a stretch. I don't know, I mean your
mortgaging the better part of the front end of two
drafts to do that, that would still be still represent
one of the largest leaps in NFL draft history in
terms of in terms of moving up, although I mean, wait,
the Chiefs when they traded up for Patrick Mahomes was
kind of I mean, they were coming from the low twenties.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
They went to ten at that point.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
Yeah, but I mean it gets exponentially tougher is at
the further into the end of the top if.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
That's for a quarterback, and that's obviously a premium you
pay for a quarterback you're moving up from, be a
tight end or a running back. We don't see that
very often. Yeah, And I mean moving up in the draft.

Speaker 7 (09:41):
Trading up in the draft generally does is a net
negative if you go by any number of statistics, career
justice value whatever versus the amount of points given up.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Moving up in the draft.

Speaker 7 (09:51):
Almost always is a net negative. Pat Mahomes is one
of the exceptions to that rule.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Dave, what do you think about cam Ward as the
first overall pick. Well, I think it's we've been talking
about it as a Yeah, I think happening.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
It's kind of a no brainer, right. I think I
think the interesting thing, and I think it fits into
the narrative that that we have talked about. It seems
to be the narrative for most people that cover the draft,
is that this year's quarterback class not nearly as proficient
as last year's. In fact, I've seen more than one

(10:25):
publication that said, had cam Ward come out last year,
he would have been the fifth or sixth quarterback draft that. Now,
keep in mind Bo Nicks went with the twelfth overall pick,
so for him to be the first pick in the draft,
it just tells you One, the league continues to be
starved four quarterbacks, and two there aren't There aren't many

(10:49):
NFL ready quarterbacks evidently in this draft.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
Mary Kay Kabb, by the way, he's saying that, yeah,
that the talks between the Browns and the Jags are
still happening, and she says she believes it will happen.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
She's about as tied into the Cleveland Browns as anybody
out there. So if Mary Kay Cabot said that it
looks like it's going to happen, then I would I'd
put I put my money on that.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
It's fascinating, right, because you think for Jacksonville. And it's
not to say that Travis Hunter is going to be
He's going to be sensational. I think that of all
the picks in the top of the draft here, if
I was going to bank on one of them being
exactly what we believe he will be, I think Travis
Hunter is that guy. But on the other side of that,

(11:32):
it's just the value. We just talked about the value
chart to trade from five to two, you're talking about
a future first rounder, I mean, even though it's only
three four spots, right, I mean, you're talking about a
massive jump in point value.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
So the only thing I can think of with teams
that would be willing to do that, I mean, obviously
they've identified the player that they think is going to
make the biggest difference for them moving forward, and number two,
they feel like they're they're not that far away from
being a team. And I think the Broncos would be
in this category as well. That if you had to

(12:06):
give up, which I'm not saying the Broncos are involved
in these kind of talks, but if you had to
give up a future number one, that number one is
going to become somewhere in the lower third of the
first round and Jacksonville to me to make this move.
I think Jacksonville has to be comfortable with that sort
of notion. The next year, the Jacksonville is going to

(12:26):
be a playoff team. I'm not sure I agree with that,
but it sure makes sense if they do that, they
would think about making this deal.

Speaker 7 (12:34):
Both the Giants and the Saints inquired about trading up
to number one with the Tennessee Titans. The Giants offered
first rounders this year and next year and were rebuffed.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
So the Giants were after their quarterback and they wanted
cam Ward. I think that would be what we would
take out of that kid bit of information.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
Cam Ward is. I mean, he's really good, right. We
watched him last year in Miami. He had an unbelievab season,
and honestly, if it wasn't for for Trivis Hunter and
Ashton Janney doing what they did, I think cam Word
would have a bigger conversation point for the Heisman. Of course,
he had a little bit of a stumble game down
the stretch, but listen, man, I you know you talk

(13:15):
about the numbers which are obviously eye popping. Last year
he had sixty seven percent completion rate four three hundred
and thirteen yards, thirty nine touchdowns, seven interceptions. I mean
I like this pick. I also could see where people
have been comparing last year's quarterback class to this year's
quarterback class, Dave and saying cam wardon might be like
the fourth guy awesome board. He is being reported the

(13:36):
Browns or trading the pick to the Jaguars.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
What's involved?

Speaker 5 (13:40):
I don't have I don't have that yet, but I
I did. He's being reported now by chef the pick. Okay,
I got. I got to think I have the details here.
So Browns are trading number two, a fourth round pick
one O four and a sixth round pick to the Jaguars.
So a two, four and a six was there? Number
two overall fourth and a six?

Speaker 6 (13:59):
Hey, hang on one second. We'll head back to the
podium and the commissioner Roger Goodell NFL draft.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
The Tennessee Titans select Cameron Ward quarterback.

Speaker 13 (14:09):
Miami cam War six foot two, two hundred and nineteen
pounds quarterback Miami.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
Now back in the Husky fourteen. War at Bumpfick works
out of a sap to the latnow S wretched up
the middle first out of the five under the en
zone touchdown.

Speaker 13 (14:31):
Miami quarterback Cam Ward's journey to the NFL Draft had
a number of stops. He began his career at FCS
school University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio. Ward
then moved down to Washington State, where he was named
Honorable Mentioned All Pack.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Twelve in each of his two seasons there.

Speaker 13 (14:46):
Ward then erupted last season in Miami, leading the nation
with thirty nine touchdown passes, winning the ACCS Player of
the Year awards, and being named a finalist for the
Heisman Trophy.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
So I think one of the interesting things about cam Ward,
and you just heard his career outlined right there. This
was the guy coming out of high school you talked
about four stars and five stars and some three stars.
He was a no star. He had one offer from
the FCS school in San Antonio and has developed his
career to the point now that he's the first pick

(15:24):
in the NFL Draft, which I think is is kind
of a cool story for kids. You don't have to
be necessarily a four or five star recruit coming out
of high school to realize your.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
Dream, absolutely, and you know the opportunity, and I think
this is an example also where the transfer portal can
work for you, Right, you moved to a new school.
I mean, look at bon Nicks, right, he was never
going to be a first round pick in his time
at Auburn. When he was at Auburn, we didn't have
any of those conversations about him until he moved to Oregon,
and then it was like, Okay, now I'm starting to

(15:55):
see why this guy could be a pro ready quarterback.
Going back to this trade that just happens. So we
got number two overall, the fourth rounder, and a sixth
rounder going that's going to the Jaguars. Jaguars are trading
the fifth overall pick, a second round pick, number thirty six,
a fourth round pick, and their twenty twenty sixth first rounder.

Speaker 7 (16:13):
They're trading a first round or to move up three
spots for a wide receiver corner.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Well, a first and a second. Yeah, Well, what I'm
saying is they're adding another they're giving up another round,
waring up that many spots for trade.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
It's gonna be for trasued again. The only the only
way that this would make sense, I think from Jacksonville's
perspective is if they're absolutely banking on and feel very
confident that next year that first round pick is going
to wind up being twenty five or lower.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
And I gotta be honest, they're banking on Trevor Lawrence
being that guy, which I again looks more like regression
right now, new coaching staff, so new eyes on him.
What we'll see going backwards?

Speaker 7 (16:51):
You know, we thought about a double trade back for Cleveland.
I think that's in play. If they don't, I believe
the pick will be Mason Graham for the Browns.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Okay, I believe they'll put him next to Miles Garrett.
I believe that's I believe that's gonna be the pick.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
So but before that, the Giants, right, the Giants would
have their choice of.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
Abdoll Carter or you know they wanted him, Will Campbell.
I think it'll be Adol Carter for the Giants. By
the way, congratulations been on being one for one on
year mock draft, big money what the cam Work pick
nailed it? Well, you're gonna get Travis Hunter here at too,
just not to the Browns. Wrong team. But I tried
to put places where I thought they'd go, and nobody saw.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
I mean, listen, I downplayed that potential of a trade.
I just didn't think the Browns we're going to do that,
even though it was floated out there. I'm wrong on that.
I don't think many people could have forecasted that Cleveland
with the second pick in the draft would trade down.
But they did.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Well there it is all right, So yeah, we go
be Cleveland. Jack Jacksonville's on the clock. They got it
on the screen and everything.

Speaker 6 (17:59):
Yeah, so we'll wait. We'll wait for Jacksonville's pick before
we take our break. By the way, right now, we
come to you on six thirty k how when the
Rockies game is done, it is done. It is done.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
But I don't know if they come from a.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
Boy to win.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
They did not.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Okay, when the Rockies game, the postgame is done, we
will be back on our flagship station and the Broncos
flagship station as well, eight fifty k away. So the
Jacksonville Jaguars are on the clock. Everybody here thinks that
it will it will be Travis Hunter, the All American
from the University of Colorado.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
I do by the way, cam Ward, I think is
the I'm not a hundred on this, but I think
he would be the first first overall pick to start
his career at the FCS level since add two tall Jones.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Oh, that's way back.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
I think. So I'm running thro the I'm running through
the picks in my head right now. I think that
if you're running through all the picks since nineteen seventy.

Speaker 6 (18:55):
Whatever, now Jones seventy. Yeah, it's just forty picks, I think.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
So I think that's it. I think that's the first
one to start his career at the FCS level. Sin
said two total. Somebody, fact, are you.

Speaker 6 (19:06):
One of these guys that like sits in a closet
and I could call at midnight and say who was
the first pick of the draft in like nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
Well, first of all, if you call me at midnight,
I'm de quiet on a call. But yeah, that's yeah,
I get a lucky that. So everybody is saying that
it is going to be Travis Hunter here. So that's
no surprise, no surprise that is being reported by every
outlet now that Travis Hunter will be the selection for
the Jacksonville Jaguars to a lot trade up. Will he

(19:33):
be a cornerback or a wide receiver for jackson.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Will be a wide receiver that I still think we'll
get some tick at corner A picture now, Travis Uh
looking great tonight sitting in Green Bay.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Dig the suit with his mother? Yeah, or the jacket
at least?

Speaker 6 (19:50):
Yeah, pink.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
If you're Travis Hunter, are you? I mean?

Speaker 7 (19:55):
And you played for Cleveland obviously, but you got now
you get Florida with those state tax are you you
maybe sell breaking that a little better?

Speaker 6 (20:01):
I'm not sure at this point in my career that
I need to worry about there being no state text
in Florida, because I've made enough money out that even
should my NFL career not be successful, I'm probably gonna
be all right.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
It's a lot to give up. That is a lot
to give up on tape.

Speaker 7 (20:20):
A first, Travis Hunter better be everything that Jacksonville think
he is, and I think we all think he's special.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
I do you know for sure?

Speaker 5 (20:27):
I'll tell you I was. When we were at the
Nick and I were at the Colorado Pro day.

Speaker 7 (20:30):
We were standing there with the former Titans general manager
Ran Cartson, and he just kept talking over and over
about Tray. He's like, whoever called that guy stiff hiped
is a receiver as an idiot?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
You know, somebody called traps, somebody.

Speaker 7 (20:40):
Somebody did, but because Carthen was on a rant about it,
and I never got the name that one never saw.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
They never got the name of who was. But he
kept he was, you know, basically calling them an idiot
over and over again.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
I would I would agree.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
There comes Roger Goodell making his way, showing out the
trade of this crowd and the second pick in this
year's draft.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
While we are here tonight to celebrate the thirty two
young men entering the NFL, I'm honored to take a
moment to recognize a player who's made a profound impact
on and off the field. The Walter Peyton NFL Man
of the Year Award, presented by Nationwide, recognizes one player

(21:24):
each year who best represents greatness and compassion, both on
and off the field and in the communities. Tonight, we
are proudly joined by the twenty twenty four Walter Peyton
NFL Man of the Year, Eric Armstead.

Speaker 10 (21:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
First off, let's go.

Speaker 14 (22:00):
I want to say thank you to the commissioner, Thank
you to the Peyton family in the NFL and nationwide,
and also too tonight I want to encourage each player
embarking on the NFL journey to identify a passion close
to their heart and act upon it. Use your platform
to make your community, the league, in this world a

(22:21):
better place. As we remember Walter Payton, strive to leave
a positive legacy.

Speaker 6 (22:27):
Of your own.

Speaker 5 (22:28):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
We have a trade.

Speaker 14 (22:43):
The Cleveland Browns have traded the second pick to the
Jacksonville Jaguars, and with the second pick in the two
twenty twenty five NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Hunter,
wide receiver defensive back from Colorado.

Speaker 13 (23:08):
Travis Hunter six foot eighty eight dB wide receiver Colorado.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Horris swinks up by sign that.

Speaker 12 (23:18):
Is picked off by Travis Hunter.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
You have got to be.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Kidding me what I just saw.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
He's superman.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
He's a superhero.

Speaker 13 (23:26):
He's not a human athlete is an understatement for this
two way player. Hunter is a big play performer with
great ball skills and superb anticipation. As a dB, he
is a wide receiver. Despite immense talent, he could improve
his technique. A legitimate question is can that frame of
his be dominant at the next level. The Heisman Trophy
winner has star power written all over it, but you

(23:47):
won't likely see the full package from Hunter on both sides.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Of the balls until later in his career.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
So there it is. Travis Hunter is now a member
of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he's on his way to
stage in Green Bay. He ran basically from the green room,
so to speak, all the way through the hallways to
get on stage. And Travis is a happy young guy.

(24:16):
Why would he not be?

Speaker 5 (24:18):
I listen him and then asked him as a wide receiver,
which I thought was cool.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
Well, I asked him and defensive back and.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Defensiveack, you're right, You're right.

Speaker 15 (24:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
And then according to Adam Schefter, they are expected to
play him both ways, him opposite Brian Thomas Junior. Oh
my godness, that is that is a lot of fun.
That is a lot of fun for Jacksonville. And now
I mean again, you know, you think about this in
years from now when it's those two guys dominating on
that side of the ball and whatever. You obviously can
work with him on the for defensive back, the picks

(24:47):
will mean almost nothing if you're going to win a
Super Bowl with Travis Hunter.

Speaker 7 (24:50):
By the way, on the points value chart, depending on
which chart you use, it would be anywhere from a
second rounder to a first round or net game for
Cleveland in that trade above the price tag.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
So so Cleveland will be able to certainly tell their
fans they've they've made a smart move, even though I
guarantee you there'll be plenty of fans in Cleveland that
we would have rather had Travis Hunter.

Speaker 7 (25:15):
Yeah, I mean, you know, the Cleveland if it felt
like the front office was selling the Travis Hunter thing
the whole the whole draft process.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
That's a fan base.

Speaker 7 (25:22):
That's that's got to Readjust now, because I'm told per
Sourcing that the new pick for Cleveland at five there
would be Mason Grahant.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
We'll see if that happens. Peter Scheger said that the
Browns phones are still wide open, and as you reported,
the trade back is.

Speaker 7 (25:36):
The second trade back is their top option there, and
that one I would say that I don't know if
Denver has the ammal for that, but I would say
that you know that you start looking there if you
really want Jenny. Five and eight would be the spots
to watch for Denver in my book. So we we
are two picks through.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
We've already had a big trade today as the Jacksonville
Jaguars move up from the fifth overall spot in a
trade with the Cleveland Browns at number two, and they
select the University of Colorado All American Travis Hunter. We
will take a very short time out. You're listening to
the Broncos NFL Draft on the KAWA Broncos Radio Network.

Speaker 16 (26:13):
The twenty twenty five NFL Draft continues presented by Kyler
Rodden's more Responsible Energy Development from.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Broncos Park, powered by Common Spirit.

Speaker 12 (26:23):
Let's sparentmever Rookie to rookie.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
This is the KOA Broncos Radio Network.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Within the third pick in the.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Twenty twenty five NFL job, the New York Giants. What
Abdual Carter defensive end.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
Pen Staate Abdual Carter.

Speaker 13 (26:47):
Six foot three, two hundred and fifty pounds, hedge head State.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Well Howard and this offer knows what to do.

Speaker 13 (27:02):
Carter, the unanimous All American selection in his final year
in Happy Valley, has great explosion at the snap and
attacks with intensity. The Big Ten Defensive Player of the
Year should excel as a pass rusher in the NFL.
Despite average size for his position, Carter could be a
little better with his hands during the pass rush, but
his agility and good spin moves will still.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Get him to the quarterback.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
So we welcome you back to Broncos Park, powered by
Common Spirit, Dave Logan, Ryan Edwards, Benjamin Alright, as we
cover the twenty twenty five NFL Draft. The Giants, as
you just heard the commissioner, have selected Penn State edge
rusher Abdul Carter with a third overall pick in the draft.
And again fellas that I think most people weren't agreement

(27:50):
there wouldn't be many, if any surprises in the first four.
We were surprised a little bit. The Browns engineered a
trade with Jacksonville and positions, but in terms of the
first four picks, with the fourth now being on the
clock and the Patriots up next, I don't think there's
been any surprises.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Yeah, I mean the players, no surprise. Certainly a surprise
and the shuffling of who's doing the trading. But the
players that's Chalk, kim Ward, Travis Hunder, Abdcarter, Will Campbell.

Speaker 7 (28:18):
Those were the betting favorites for that. The question now
becomes here at five, what the Browns do. The Browns
I'm told are not on the running back Ashton Janty.
I'm told that Mason Graham was that they are looking
at they're also listening, but potentially listening to move back
yet again.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
And if they do, all of a.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
Sudden, this opens the floodgates for Ashton Jenny to maybe
take a little slip and put him in range where
Shawn and George Payton cook ups some magic and maybe
get It's still a flying leap forward. It would be
one of the largest leaps forward in the first round
in NFL history.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
So let's say the Browns actually engineer trade back the
Raiders have the six pick. You don't think the Raiders
would entertain Ashton genty.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
I think it's possible. I think there's two offensive linemen
and Ashton Janty there.

Speaker 7 (28:59):
But I think once you get to like eight with
the Carolina Panthers, who have told everybody they want to
move out, I think once you get to that point,
now you're in. You're starting to get into the ballpark
of where it is that that is realistic for the
Denver Broncos to maybe make a move if they really
want to push all.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
That and Ryan the Jets have the seventh pick, and
I think it's being I would think we could assume
safely that they would not be in the running back
market either, you would think.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Not, although there's reports today that Breece Hall might be
on the move, But that would be more of a
day three kind of conversation than anything. No, I think
would be fascinating. I think the one thing you don't
want to be is in no man's land. So if
you get up to ten and then say Chancey and
Warren are gone, which again I'm not saying that that's
the targets, but why else are we getting up to ten?
What else is there that you are very interested in?
You may be caught in no man's land and then

(29:44):
you got to select somebody there that maybe you probably
could have gotten a little later on. Now, Sean will
never say that. In fact, he'll laugh at all of
us who were saying, do you think you could have
gotten him at twenty? But once again, you get a
player that you love, a player that you're gonna be
able to utilize right away. I mean, I think either
way you end up in good shape.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
Yeah, I see. I don't think they would make a
move in terms of going into as you said, no
man's land. I don't think they'll make a move unless
they know absolutely that one or two of those guys
are there, so I mean, I wouldn't see the Broncos.
Let's just say they want to move up and the
engineer trade let's say at nine with the Saints or

(30:22):
ten with the Bears. They wouldn't do that prior to
knowing exactly what the teams at five, six, seven, and
eight are going to do.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
You know, that's exactly right. That's a great point you
bring up. You don't need to make that move this moment.
You sort of wait how the board falls. And I
mean we had heard these rumors now for a little
over a week that they were actively making calls. Now
there's one thing to find out what the price tag is,
which George Payton is very good at. The other thing
is to be active, which again we're getting a lot

(30:51):
of reports, especially from Diana Rossini, saying that the Broncos
are very active trying to move up inside the top ten.
So something to monitor. By the way, Patriots are going
to take the offense of lineman Will Campbell here, so
he's gonna be the first O line author war, which
isn't too much of a surprise. I honestly don't know
if he's going to play offensive tackle at the next level, Ben,
I don't know what do you think you will start
a tackling Okay, but I think what he ends up

(31:12):
being is more of a guard.

Speaker 7 (31:14):
And there are people that believe he moves inside. Eventually
raybel will start him to tackle though. That's where that's
where he'll start.

Speaker 13 (31:19):
So listen.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
I like the pick so far. I mean, Bill Carter
for me is a lot as a kind of a
no brainer. You think the Giants might move back into
the first maybe for a quarterback at the end of
this thing. But the fact is, like you take a
good player, you just take you stack good players, especially
when you're a bad team.

Speaker 6 (31:35):
I think if you look at the first three picks,
Will Campbell Patriots officially on the clock, but it looks
like it's going to be Will Campbell there. But the
first three picks we know are Cam Wore, Travis Hunter,
and Abdull Carter. I think those are three pretty good
football players. And again, as we said in the last segment,
I don't think those guys in that order really surprised

(31:57):
anybody who has followed this draft.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Then called it.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
I'm told that the Browns are not going to be
trading out. Nope, you called it they're taking Mason Graham.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
So the Browns are gonna stay at five, and they
are they are not officially on the clock, or are
they I think they're.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
I think they're on the clock because the pick is
already in for for Campbell.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
So the pick's already in. We just haven't gotten the
podium announcement. And so now this opens the floodgates.

Speaker 7 (32:25):
Do the Raiders take Ashton Jenny If they don't, all
of a sudden, you could see him start to slide
into that range where you know again, And I'm not
an advocate of pushing all in for a running back
and moving up like that, but they're they're certainly in
the range if they believe he's the guy.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
I mean, we said for all the entire pre draft
process he's in his own tier. It's not to say
that you don't love the rest of the running backs
in this class. It's just an example of taking a
premier player in a draft where there aren't a lot
of premier players. You want to go to the podium here, yep,
Will Campbell, the LSU.

Speaker 6 (33:04):
Is a young man.

Speaker 13 (33:10):
Will Campbell offensive tackle LSU six foot six, three hundred
and nineteen pounds.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Sixteen yard Jane Williams powerful run.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
That's where they think they can have some success with
their outstanding set of tackles. Every jump them right, Will Campbell.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
On the left.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Durable, aggressive, and athletic.

Speaker 13 (33:30):
Campbell is a good downfield blocker with heavy hands, but
he can be beat by inside moves in past protection.
He needs to improve his balance and lateral moves to
avoid being shifted to the guard.

Speaker 6 (33:40):
Position at some point.

Speaker 13 (33:42):
He was voted the best offensive lineman in the SEC
while earning All American honors in twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
Four, So again no surprise there. Will Campbell, the offensive
lineman out of LSU now is a member of the
New England Patriots. I mean, when you think about it,
voted the best offensive lineman in the SEC. You're going
against SEC teams all the time, and I know that

(34:08):
there are plenty of college football fans. They get tired
of hearing about the SEC. The Big Ten has had
their moments in the Pac twelve, a couple of moments
in the Big twelve, but by and large still the
SEC is is loaded with NFL ready talent.

Speaker 7 (34:23):
Yeah, the Raiders now going to be on the clock
and I'm going to project at this pick will either
be Calvin Banks.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
Junior or Ashton Janty. I believe it'll be one of
those two. No'm my mock draft ahead on my membo,
but I believe that this is going to be Banks
or Janty here and I were.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
You've got to pick one. Ben. If you're in Vegas,
when you're at the roulette table, you don't get to
pick Give me black, can bet?

Speaker 5 (34:48):
I can bet on seventeen and thirty two Black and Red?
All right?

Speaker 6 (34:51):
I bet?

Speaker 7 (34:52):
I mean we like, I got a slight into Danty.
I think it's going to disappoint Broncos fans. I think
it's going to disappoint Broncos fans. But I got a
slight to Janty here over Banks, who, by the way,
might be the biggest disparity between how the league views
a player and how media and fans view a player.
Banks was a guy people didn't even have the first
round ten weeks ago, and as a guy that I
think is probably viewed as, if not the top tackle

(35:15):
in this draft pure tackle. I mean he could play
guard two, but if not, with Will Campbell going first,
the second best tackle in this draft by many teams, well.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
I'm with you on that. I think his floor is
really high, and I agree that a couple of weeks
ago he was not even in that conversation. I actually
like Membo better as far as an offensive tackle pure tackle. Yeah, yeah,
I like Membo better. But but again, I certainly understand
the Banks pick. I'm not Listen. I like Will Campbell.
I think he's a guy that doesn't get beat very often.

(35:43):
But once again, you're talking about seventy seven inch arms
as an offensive tackle. Just it doesn't do it for me.
But yeah, listen, if Janty goes here, then I sort
of feel like the Broncos are going to stay put.
That might I mean, that's my bold prediction here, that
the Broncos, if they see Janty go off the board
to the Raiders, they may just say, you know what,
I think that was fun.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
I think that would make sense. There's still I mean,
I think there are plenty of people, and I would
tend to be one of them that could see the
Broncos trading back more easily than moving up. Now, if
they have a chance to get Jenty at some point,
maybe they do move up, but I could see them
moving back.

Speaker 7 (36:18):
That was the one name I really felt move forward.
I know people talked about the tight end and all
that kind of stuff, but the one name that I,
you know, I really thought they'd move up for if
they were going to do it, was if the Janty
thing fell to a preposterous level you start to get eight, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve in that range.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
I think you got to kind of make a move.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
So Broncos Country holding their breath right now waiting to
find out if the possibility continues for Ashon Janty or
if they're gonna be facing him twice.

Speaker 5 (36:40):
A year as the Raiders are on the clock. Yeah,
that was the one thing that as far as the
rumors reports this week that I was kind of looking
forward to, is Jacksonville taking him because he wouldn't be
a division. Yeah, you know, that was like cok, I
can live with that. It'll be in conference, but not
in a division. And of course, by the way, Jacksonville
is coming to Denver, so we will see Travis Hunter
here in Denver when they play.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
That would be awesome. That would be awesome for sure.

Speaker 7 (37:02):
Uh yeah, I was just watching that interview with Will Campbell.
Let me talk about Ryan talking about his arms. I'm
surprised he could even reach out to white the tears
away when he was giving those measurements on his t
rex arms that.

Speaker 6 (37:11):
He did, said he he did, I think is exact
quote what he's got. He's got little bitt ass arms.

Speaker 5 (37:16):
A little video for for somebody like me saying that.
I'm just talking about you know generally. I mean, he
is the shortest arms I think of the entire offensive
tackling class. And we're talking about a guy going in
the first round top offensive line, and that's all. It's
just more of a discussion. But again, one thing you
love about him is he doesn't get beat like he
really almost never gets beat and and he and he
did that consistently out there at left tackle.

Speaker 6 (37:36):
To me, it's a little bit like the quarterbacks that
have the smaller hands. Sure you draft the guy that
has the bigger hands, and you didn't realize that he
was color blind.

Speaker 7 (37:45):
So which, by the way, remind me to tell you
the story he will play you can play. There was
the Giants one year got unprepared when a player got
taken in front of them. They wound up taking that
and end it was that at that was set blind
in one eye four round, get you the story a
little bit. It looks like it is going to be
Jandy to the Raiders.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
Okay, well there you go, and report coming here that
from Adam Schefter that Carolina's fielding. He calls about pick
number eight. But yeah, looks like it's yeah, Ashton, Jenny's
going to be the pick here for the Raiders. It's over. Yeah,
I dream. However, I hate I hate to see that,
to tell you the truth.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
So we're gonna do this Rino step aside in a
quick time out coming up. You're listening to the Broncos
NFL Draft coverage in the Kowa Broncos Radio Network.

Speaker 16 (38:29):
The twenty twenty five NFL Draft continues, presented by Kyler
Rodden's word responsible l energy development from Broncos Park, cowered
by common Spirits.

Speaker 12 (38:39):
Staring Denver ki Wikie.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
This is the Kowa Broncos Radio Network.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
Tweety pick in the twenty Cleveland Brown So Mason Graham tivs.

Speaker 14 (38:55):
A tacko What in.

Speaker 13 (38:59):
Mason six foot three two and ninety six pounds defensive
lineman Michigan.

Speaker 15 (39:08):
Marsh get the scooned at the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 6 (39:11):
Kiss me some Graham.

Speaker 13 (39:15):
Graham has a quick first step, as well as good
effort and leverage thanks to his wrestling background. Graham was
a unanimous All American for the Wolverines, exhibiting compact power
but lacks length For a player in this position, Graham
could be a solid pro and has the motor that
scouts law but others. Speley won't be dominant at the
next level after leading ann Arbor following his junior season.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
So Mason Graham the newest member of the Cleveland Browns
and the Las Vegas Raiders. That just made it official
they have selected Boise State running back Ashton Genti. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:54):
For those of you who pay attention to Pete Carroll's
Twitter feed, he actually leaked this out a little bit
earlier today.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
It was no similar to the pictograph that I that
I do. He did his own and it was Will
Smith with a magnifying glass looking at Most people thought
that that meant, uh, you know, Banks, Philip Banks, Calvin Banks,
you know, because from the show. But what it actually
meant fresh prince or royalty. Janty is actually means royalty.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
So he had Wow, that was you had to graduate
from m I T to be able to solve that issue.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
That was the clue there.

Speaker 7 (40:25):
And for those my pictograph is still holding up on
the puzzle for the draft.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
So we'll see, we'll see what happens. The Jets are
gonna take Membo okay here instead of Tyler Warren that
instead of Tyler Warrens and they're gonna go offensive line,
offensive tackle on a Miszoo. And I I mean I
like Nimbo a lot that that would probably be my
favorite offensive tackle in this draft class. But boy, that's
it's one of those deals, Dave, we talked about all
the time, like it say, sort of went in doubt.

(40:50):
Take a trench player to take a take a d line,
take an offensive lineman, especially for the Jets who probably
have a lot of holes to be looking at it.
Just take an offensive tackle.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
Yeah, and they did. And how you start to wonder
no tight ends taken in the first seven picks. And
let me just ask both of you, if Tyler Warren
should slip down past the Bears. Can anybody see the
Broncos interested enough to make a deal for Tyler Warren?

Speaker 5 (41:21):
Maybe I don't believe he'll get past ten.

Speaker 7 (41:23):
So I think now the pivot point here, if you're
a Broncos fan, and you want that you're looking at
the Panthers, Caroline. Panthers have made no secret of the
fact that they want to get out of eight and
they are willing to take less than the trade point
value to move out of it.

Speaker 6 (41:35):
So why would they make that clear they're willing to
take less than the trade point value.

Speaker 5 (41:39):
Because they're try to encourage somebody they really want to
move back in multiply picks.

Speaker 7 (41:43):
They believe that they need a total overhaul on defense.
They want to add some skilled position players for Bryce
Young on offense, the new order. Yeah, well, I mean,
Dave Tepper's been there a little bit, but they Dave
Canalys's you know, they want to add pieces around Bryce
Young because the second half of the season they felt
like he might actually he got better.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
Yeah, he got better. They said down for a minute,
and then when they.

Speaker 7 (42:01):
Brought him back, they were like, Okay, I think he's
got it now.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Now we can build around this.

Speaker 7 (42:04):
And so I think they recognize with the Gerald Vero there,
they need a whole new defense and they're going to
have to add some pieces to get Bryce Young going there.

Speaker 6 (42:12):
So so right with the Broncos and Ben would the
Broncos pick up the phone and call Carolina if Carolina
has already floated it out that hey, we are open
for business with the eighth pick. I guess my question
is you think the Broncos would have an interest that
big of interest in a tied end from Penn State.

Speaker 5 (42:30):
I think they should. I mean again, it's it's it's
sort of a discussion point, right because they added Evan
Ingram during free agency, they knew that they staid coming
into this offseason they were going to heavily invest in
that room, and that would certainly be that. The thing
I love about Tyler Warren, and we talked about it
on the show in k Sports, it's just he's the guy.
He's a guy that knows he's the guy, right He's

(42:51):
he's such a fixture in that office, especially this last year,
and bringing somebody and that kind of energy onto your
offense where it's like, get me the ball, get me
the ball. I'm going to find a way to be open.
I do think that George Kittle comps get a little
bit ridiculous, but because he's not as fast straight up
as George Kittle. But the fact is is he just
has a knack he's a knack to get open. You

(43:12):
can move them all over the place. You're looking for
that classic joker. That's really what he is.

Speaker 6 (43:16):
When he first when I went back and looked at
the USC game tape, and he had you know, everybody
knew just watching the game on TV. I think he
had like thirteen catches in that game. But if you
go back, they they put him in wildcat. They snapped
the ball to the tight end who then runs the ball. Yeah,
I mean you got to. You got to be a
pretty good athlete for a coach, I mean, like James

(43:38):
Franklin to put you back there as a big tight end.
They did.

Speaker 7 (43:41):
They did that several times, actually Multimore than just the
USC game, where they would put him back there in
a running back type situation or a running quarterback.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
He threw a pass too.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
They ran QB Power out of that with him as well,
so there was there were several different ways they deployed him.
He's a he's a heck of an athlete. I don't
think Warren's going to get past the Bears, and I
don't think the Broncos really have the Ambley in the
top ten.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
But with Chanty there, I think they might have exceeded
their exceeded what they want to to get there.

Speaker 5 (44:06):
I think if you're considering trading up, it's not for
just one specific player, right, I mean, I think if
you're if you're calling, I mean, yes, you're you're like
eyeing one. But I think that you have sort of
layers and levels to this. So again, we haven't since
the beginning of the draft, we haven't heard anything else
about them trying to trade up. I imagine they're still
working the phones, but that would be the player for me.
I know that people are floating Colston Loveland out there.

(44:27):
I'm not buying that.

Speaker 6 (44:29):
I don't think you trade up to get Colston Loveland.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
If it happens, then it happens, and I'll be wrong,
but I'm not buying that.

Speaker 6 (44:34):
From then and right, I would respectfully disagree with you.
I think if you do trade up, you get for
one player, and you know, by us consummating this trade,
we can get him. Sure, So I'm like you, I
agree with you. I I don't know that they'll do that. Again,
the strength of the draft, I think for most people

(44:56):
was somewhere between nineteen and t twenty and then all
the way through the second and even into the third
round with a lot of grades that were very, very similar.
In other words, some of these guys that are first
round picks tonight, maybe even at twenty and certainly down
to thirty two, they're grade by more than just a

(45:18):
couple of teams not significantly different than some of the
picks in the second round.

Speaker 7 (45:24):
If Carolina is unable to move out of eight, I
think that's the first spot that you could look at
the wide receiver from Arizona going. But Million, there aren't
a lot of teams that love him, but the ones
that do do and he's one that's one of the
teams that do love him.

Speaker 5 (45:39):
I've been a bigger fan of my mill in this
entire time. But I mean, we've talked about some of
his Quirks's personality. Quirks is not I mean the quote
that came out about him not really wanting to watch film,
and most.

Speaker 7 (45:51):
Things came out that once Jetfish left, he just shut
it down. He showed up when the scouts were air
and he shut it down the rest of the time.
Jetfish really kind of kept him going time time standard.
You need somebody who is a show coach to ride him.

Speaker 6 (46:03):
If that's true, You're gonna spend a first round draft
choice on the guy if you believe.

Speaker 5 (46:08):
You got the coaching staff that could ride that guy
and get the most out of him. I mean, presumably
as an organization, you've contacted Jed and said, hey, look,
you know what did you What did it take to
get you to keep him keep him motivated? Uh?

Speaker 6 (46:19):
And so that that would be I see, I would worry.
And maybe that's the old school part of me, but
I would worry, Like, listen, if I got to motivated
guy that I take in the top ten of the
first round in the NFL draft, I'm probably taking the
wrong guy.

Speaker 5 (46:32):
I'm with you on that. In a personal agreement, all
I'm trying to do is relay the inform.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
No, no, I believe you.

Speaker 5 (46:38):
On a personal level, I would like I wouldn't touch him,
like anybody who's that checked out on studying and that
you know that hit or miss on motivation to play
this game. I'm not bringing him into my locker room.

Speaker 6 (46:47):
Yeah, I would question really how smart it is for
him to make public the notion that I don't watch tape.
I don't like to watch tape.

Speaker 9 (46:57):
Back to the podium, the New York Jets select armand
mimboo Missouri.

Speaker 13 (47:05):
Taw armand memboom offensive tackle messer six foot four, three
hundred and thirty two pounds, Membo is a talented lineman
who is slightly undersized for a traditional NFL tackle, but
he makes up for it with his composed quickness and
great body control. His impressive performance in twenty twenty four

(47:27):
earning second team All SEC honors, but he really lit
it up at the NFL combine, where's forty yard dash
was the fastest for alignment his size in more than
twenty years.

Speaker 5 (47:36):
The twenty one year.

Speaker 13 (47:37):
Old is agile, powerful, and could provide a boost at
the guard or tackle spot.

Speaker 6 (47:47):
So armand Mimbo is now a New York Jets. Remember
the New York Jetsamuji.

Speaker 5 (47:54):
Makes his first pick goes offensive line. I love it.

Speaker 6 (47:56):
Yeah. I love when they say this is a guy
that is six four and three thirty two and he's
a bit undersized. Six four and three thirty two.

Speaker 5 (48:08):
Yeah, undersized, I.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
Guess undersized to play tackle, but he's such a good athlete.
I don't I mean, I think the guy is going
to play tackle.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
I don't think he's undersized to play the Hulk. Did
you did you see his forty time?

Speaker 6 (48:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (48:21):
He had the best four one big A man that fast, Jeff,
that big should move that fast.

Speaker 6 (48:26):
There's nobody at this table that could.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
I can't clear five anymore today, I can't clear five anymore.
Nine one, I can't clear five anymore. I'll tell you
that it is going to be Ted McMillan here for
the Carolina Panthers. Ben way to go. Ted McMillan going
to Carolina, which is again I think Jayleen Walker that
they wanted to move out of that spot. I really
thought Jaylen Walker would go here. I think you're going to.

Speaker 7 (48:47):
See him potentially with the next pick. It'll be in
the next four that he that I believe Jayalen Walker
will go could be potentially in the next pick.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
See once again, I like MS and used to slide
by the way he does. Yeah, because we thought the
Jets might be in on Tyler warrens.

Speaker 6 (49:04):
See if the Bears make that move now, No, so
you think the Bears might make a move on Tyler Warren.

Speaker 5 (49:10):
Yeah, they might perry with Cole Comett.

Speaker 7 (49:12):
You run twelve personnel there gives you the mismatch the
same way that they sort of had early on with TJ.
Hockinson and San La Porta with Ben Johnson. Had both
those guys there at the same time.

Speaker 6 (49:21):
I would have thought the Bears may be leaning towards
that offensive line.

Speaker 5 (49:25):
I think that's a possibility. But I think Warrens is
in the in their range two. Yeah, I would not
be surprised at Calvin Banks was their pick, but I
would not be surprised if Warren was either.

Speaker 6 (49:33):
We'll see. So we just have found out that the
Carolina Panthers at pick number eight are gonna select Tech McMillan,
the wide receiver from the University of Arizona, and we'll
come back. Pick number nine is going to be coming
up soon with the New Orleans Saints, but in the meantime,

(49:55):
we will take a very short time out. You're listening
to Broncos NFL Draft coverage on the KAWA Broncos radio network.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
This is the Kowa Broncos Radio Network, Rady eight Big.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
In the twenty twenty five NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers
select Cetero McMillan wide receiver, Arizona.

Speaker 13 (50:46):
Kettereroa McMillan six foot four to two hundred and nineteen
pounds wide receiver, Arizona.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
Say to McMillan, what back corner of the end zone?

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Touchdown?

Speaker 13 (51:00):
Arizona t mac How many times have we seen him
use that one hand to Arizona receiver. McMillan's last two
seasons were insane. He broke out as a sophomore in
twenty twenty three with standout performances against Washington and USC.
Then against Arizona State, he exploded for two hundred and
sixty six receiving yards in all time record in the
Arizona Ase rivalry. Over the last two seasons, he averaged

(51:23):
nearly one hundred and ten receiving yards per game, with
twelve one hundred yard games and three two hundred yard games,
including a three hundred four yard four touchdown performance in
the twenty twenty four opener against New Mexico.

Speaker 6 (51:39):
We welcome you back, second hour of our NFL Draft coverage,
again live from Broncos Park, powered by Common Spirit Dave
Logan along with Ryan Edwards and Benjamin Albright. Former Bronco
Nick Ferguson will join us in a moment KAYWAE Broncos
Radio Network. Draft coverage is presented by Colorado's for Responsible
Energy Development, developing Colorado's Energy building color Out of his

(52:01):
future details at cred dot org. That is cr ed
dot org. All right, first wide receiver, as we just
heard off the board. I know, Ryan, you you have
loved this guy like for a long long time. Uh
so you probably did. Did you see him going as
the first wide receiver?

Speaker 5 (52:21):
I thought he should go as the first wide receiver.
I know there was a lot of buzz on Matthew
Golden because of the four to two whatever. Yeah, that
he ended up running. But I just again, you know
you're six' five and you absolutely dominate at the college.
Level that's what you want to, see, right you want
to see a guy that dominates other college. PLAYERS i
know there was some questions about his route running as

(52:42):
far as his his care all the. Time there were
sometimes where he did seem to take some plays. Off
BUT i GUESS i looked at the other side of
that as he's managing because he was dominant when he
needed to be and they and, listen he didn't always
have great quarterback play, Either and that's for, me like
the true mark of a guy that should be going
this high is you're you're never knowing what quarterback situation
you're gonna go. To, here he's gonna Have Bryce young

(53:03):
throwing to. Him theoretically that's gonna be. Good but either,
WAY i just think this guy. Dominates was he your top, receiver,
well that would have been. No Travis hunter would, HAVE i,
guess been the. Top but, yeah not counting. That Matt
golden at twelve was WHO i. HAD i had McMillan
drop it all the way down to The, packers And
i'm gonna tell, you if he had not gone to The,
PANTHERS i do believe he would have fallen that. Far
we are gonna Get Kevin banks to The saints, Here,

(53:24):
okay so, no no. Quarterback, yeah The Jackson dart, THING
i would. NOT i expect The saints to come back
into the first round later and Take Jackson. Dart brian you,
KNOW i texted YOU i think it was back In
february that The Jackson dart was probably The saints, guy
not with that first, pick BUT i do believe that
they'll come back and get.

Speaker 7 (53:39):
Him we'll see if that happens a little bit. Later
something to keep your eye on as. Well what do
you think about, That. DAVE i, mean we talked about
it last year with Bone.

Speaker 5 (53:47):
Niggs it's like you send a message when you take
a quarterback at the beginning of the first, round, right
you send a message not only the franchise but the fan,
base to locker room moost kinds of. Things in this,
case you got off for an offensive tackle that you
would not have gotten at the end of the draft
or the end of the First there's no doubt about.
That but you, say, well we value this ahead of.
This there's a natural tendency for people to take it that.

Speaker 6 (54:07):
Way, YEAH i think, AGAIN i think it depends ON i,
mean you would at LEAST i would go after a
quarterback at that position IF i really liked the. Quarterback
AND i think with The saints not taking a quarterback,
here and by the, way The saints, HAVEN'T i don't
think taken a first round quarterback in AN nfl draft

(54:29):
since the early. SEVENTIES i Think Archie. MANNING i Think
archie may have been the last first round quarterback taken
by The. Saints, NONETHELESS i do think that it's. Smart you,
know unless you really love that, quarterback you get a
really good offensive. Lineman and goodness knows if anybody watched
or listened to The broncos game last year In New,

(54:50):
orleans The saints needed offensive.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Lineman Banks junior is one of the most decorated linemen In.

Speaker 6 (54:54):
So that's the commissioner right, there announcing that The New
Orleans saints have taken offensive LINEMAN. Kelp banks.

Speaker 5 (55:00):
Leave that's a third year in a. Row by the,
way it's another time Where Mickey loomis has not met
with a prospect and then turns around and drafts.

Speaker 6 (55:05):
Him seems to be a. Pattern seems to be a
bit of a.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
PATTERN i, mean, HONESTLY i think that the whole meeting
with prospects thing gets. Overblown, ANYWAYS i think you know
team you know different guys like us well, certainly but
like the top thirty, Visits, Ben you've talked about it for.
Years it's like some teams team to. See so he's
doing them.

Speaker 7 (55:21):
Anymore you've got some TEAMS i know one team in
this draft that only brought in teammates of.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
Guys are interested. In bears are Taking Colston. Loveland bears
are is Not Tyler? Warren The bears are Taking Colston. Loveland,
yes there it. Is SO i would say that that
that is off the. Board now all the people with The.

Speaker 7 (55:37):
Colston loveland stuff that can stop that probably Puts Tyler
warren to The colts at. Fourteen we'll keep our eye
on that as we continue to. Go but that puts
everybody on, uh it puts everybody on the. Uh the
the Blood broncos trading up For loveland thing that that's
that's officially, over.

Speaker 5 (55:54):
Wasn't wasn't there some shoulder concerns About Colston?

Speaker 6 (55:57):
Loveland there, are and he may not be ready for.

Speaker 7 (55:59):
Camp he's got shoulder and collar bone. Concerns he's The
bears must have must have cleared him on. That but
Interestingly loveland and Now cole Comet as, again is that
too tight end? Set that goes, back that harkens back
to What Ben johnson had In detroit when they HAD.

Speaker 6 (56:15):
Tj.

Speaker 5 (56:15):
Hockinson And Samuel orda. MAN i mean there's been a
certain segment of Draft twitter or Drafts, nicks whatever you
want to call, him that really Likes cole Said loveland
more Than. Warren what did you, Think? DAVE i, MEAN
i always Liked warren, better BUT i they're a little bit.
Different just based on tape THAT i.

Speaker 6 (56:37):
Watched WOULD i would Say, warren at least he on,
tape played. BIGGER i would Say loveland probably has a
little more WHAT i would call swivel to. Him you, know,
OBVIOUSLY i guess it depends on your grading system and

(56:58):
what you actually want from that. Position So loveland With
comet there becomes the move tight end or he's the
attached tight.

Speaker 5 (57:07):
End, well, yeah he becomes the attached tight.

Speaker 6 (57:10):
End.

Speaker 5 (57:11):
Uh lovely is not a. Blocker loveland's an off the.
Line why he was an average blocker at, Best so
he wouldn't be in my, vernacular then he wouldn't be.

Speaker 6 (57:18):
Attached he's the.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
Move he would be the. Move love would be the
move And comette would be the attached. To All, right
so we all know what picked a Little levin is
now to Mikeil williams is going to go to four.
Time that is not a.

Speaker 7 (57:27):
Surprise, yeah not a surprise to anybody there that that
should be once The saints passed on that you should
have put that one in.

Speaker 5 (57:35):
Ink what is this? Comedies what are we doing here
with the ON? Tv That's Cynthia freeland and somebody else looks,
like Maybe i'm? Wrong is That Cynthia?

Speaker 6 (57:44):
FREELAND i can't see from.

Speaker 17 (57:45):
HERE i don't.

Speaker 6 (57:47):
KNOW i don't. Know do we want to? KNOW i
would say that is NOT i WOULD i would say is?

Speaker 5 (57:52):
THAT i, mean we're all pausing For.

Speaker 6 (57:58):
I'm not sure THE nfl networks people getting some crimework
in some maritime so close To, loveland if you're just joining.
Us is taken tenth overall by The Chicago, bears and
we're now able to report That Mikeel Williams colling Wolfs
uh is taken at the number eleven spot by The

(58:18):
San francisco forty nine.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
Ers, oh so they're announcing THE nfl schedule released With,
Wednesday may. Fourteenth that's what they're Announcing may.

Speaker 6 (58:24):
Fourteenth.

Speaker 7 (58:24):
Yep Kaylen walker continues to continues to a little stunned by.

Speaker 5 (58:31):
That i'm Not i'm Not i'm not stunned by. It
i'm surprised by.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
IT i, Mean Matthew golden is still, Available Tyler warren
is still.

Speaker 5 (58:37):
Available we think The cowboys maybe it's, well it's either
gonna be offensive.

Speaker 7 (58:41):
LINE i would suggest there's two picks here for The,
cowboys And i'm gonna say that it's Either Gray's abel
Or matthew Gold.

Speaker 6 (58:46):
Did you not hear my my referencing the roulette thing
In Las? Vegas, WELL i thought we weren't tipping the.
Pick you want me to tip the? Picture, yes which
one do you think it? IS i think It's Matthew.
GOLD i do.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
TOO i think it's matt Gold THEY i would. Not but,
Again Gray's abel is the other. GUY i think that's
in the.

Speaker 5 (59:03):
Discussion but If i'm putting money on the, Table i'm
putting it.

Speaker 6 (59:06):
On so let's talk about The broncos right now at
number twenty before the pick is officially. Announced for The,
niners it'll Be Mike Hail, williams the edge Pass. Rusher
where do we think upstairs in this meeting? Room where
do we think Currently Sean payton And George peyton's mind might?

Speaker 5 (59:22):
Be, WELL i think you have to ask the, question
is this? Tight end thing.

Speaker 7 (59:26):
Serious do you really believe In Tyler? Warren if you,
do you need to go up with the dolphins here
at thirteen and make it. Happen if, not because the
cults are probably gonna. Takehim if, not then you sit.
Back if you've got guys you're comfortable with at twenty
and you think are going to be, there AND i
would suggest THAT i think there are two names THAT
i believe will be, there.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
THEN i think you sit pat and let the draft
come to. You and at the end of the, day
you didn't expend assets to go up and get so
you kept that you could probably do a little bit
better later.

Speaker 7 (59:51):
ON i wouldn't be surprised to see, again we've talked
about this. Before wouldn't he surprised you to move back
a little bit at twenty. Either here's the commissioner at the, podium.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
McMichael my heart is with the McMichael family during this
incredibly difficult.

Speaker 6 (01:00:05):
Time.

Speaker 5 (01:00:06):
Missy please know that you are in our thoughts and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Prayers mango's remarkable contributions.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
To the game and the community will never be.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Forgotten his legacy will continue to inspire generations to. Come
fifty years ago with the fourth pick in the nineteen
seventy FIVE Nfl, draft The Chicago bears selected one Of
Steven michael's teammates and closest, Friends Walter, payton running Back Jackson.

(01:00:39):
State walter would go on to rush for nearly seventeen
thousand yards and one hundred and ten touchdowns over thirteen,
seasons all with The Chicago. Bears as you heard, earlier

(01:01:00):
THE nfl continues to Honor sweetness not only for his
performance and excellence on the, field but also his commitment
to give back to his community with The Walter PAYTON.

Speaker 5 (01:01:12):
Nfl man of The Year.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Award so with the tenth pick in the twenty twenty
FIVE Nfl.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
DRAFT.

Speaker 9 (01:01:22):
A draft In Green bay Exect Coaston cleveland tight End
michigan Sid.

Speaker 13 (01:01:31):
Colston loveland tight End michigan six with six two hundred
and forty eight POUNDS.

Speaker 5 (01:01:39):
Jj bales out of their, right looking, Downfield he's gonna
Find colstan Loveld wine open at the third to the
twenty five to the twenty look back it's side at
the tag to the.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Episode loveland is a talented tight.

Speaker 13 (01:01:50):
End it plays like a big wide out because of
his ability to separate from man coverage and make. Plays
he missed some time with a shoulder, injury but was
still a finalist for The john mckew part given to
college football's best. Tidd some believe that with his athletic
and catching the, villains he has the chance to become
a high volume target and future pro.

Speaker 6 (01:02:09):
Bowler so there you have it with officially now pick number,
ten The Chicago bears select the tied end from The
university of Me, Chigan Colston. Loveland we've already told you
The niners on the, clock and we have word that
Mikeel williams will be the selection For San francisco And

(01:02:32):
Kyle shanahan the edge pass. Rusher that's a really good.

Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
PICK i mean, again he. PROFILES i, know like we
talked About Jayalen walker and some people think he's a
bit of a tweeter as far as a you, know
whether he's an inside linebacker and edge. RUSHER i think
he's an edge. Rusher but. Whatever But Michael, williams he
just he just looks the. Part Taking georgia defensive players,
ANYWAYS i think.

Speaker 6 (01:02:54):
You can't go wrong too many.

Speaker 5 (01:02:55):
Times, rights there's a. RECIPE i, mean you look at
what The Philadelphia eagles have been doing right for the
last few, years so this is just one of those
like kind of no. Brainer he was going to go
in the teens to, somebody and if you're the forty nine,
ERS d, line an edge is kind of where you
needed to. Sit, anyways that's THAT'S i, mean they've they've
had so many losses there that would be the. Pick

(01:03:15):
that's not obvious. ONE i did put out a, feeler
And carolina believes that they are going to be able
to Coach tat.

Speaker 7 (01:03:21):
McMillan all, Right So Brendan, CARROLL. P carroll's son is
on staff With Jed fish At. Arizona Nate, carroll his
brother saw staff With Dave canalis there In. Carolina they
had the pipeline. Already their brothers already had the pipeline.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
There. Huh, okay, listen stranger things have happened. AGAIN i
refer to my previously uttered. Comment it seems strange to
me you take a guy in the top ten in
the first round in THE nfl draft and you're having
to come up with a plan on how to get him.
MOTIVATED i don't, know maybe maybe Maybe tat McMillan turns

(01:03:56):
out to be just a, great great, player because he
certainly was a hell of a player at The university Of.
Arizona so The, niners we know it's going to Be Mikeil,
williams they have yet to announce. That so why don't
we do? This we will take a very short time
out is seven. Eighteen you're listening to The BRONCOS Nfl
draft coverage on The Kawa Broncos Radio.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
Network THE Nfl draft continues.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Presented By Kyler Rodden's More Responsible Energy development From.

Speaker 4 (01:04:28):
Broncos park powered By Common. Spirit look this.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
Here is The Kowa Broncos Radio.

Speaker 6 (01:04:37):
Network we are back At Broncos, park powered By Common.
Spirit dave looked by And Edwards Benjamin, albright OUR nfl
insider from Where. Bronco Nick ferguson is here and joins. Us,
now what's, Up? Nick what's going?

Speaker 18 (01:04:51):
On?

Speaker 5 (01:04:51):
Gentlemen anything so?

Speaker 6 (01:04:53):
Far surprise The ferguson.

Speaker 8 (01:04:55):
Clan uh, YEAH i mean from for, me it's the
aids in his. Draft and when you get those early,
trades what it. Does it screws up everyone is mock.
Draft when you had players sled it at certain, spots
it changes.

Speaker 6 (01:05:09):
Everything and so far it's done.

Speaker 8 (01:05:11):
That now everyone's waiting to see what The broncos are gonna,
do if they're gonna be any more, trades what's gonna
happen With Shador? Sanda so we just kind of wait
and see The Dallas.

Speaker 5 (01:05:19):
Cowboys we talked about an offensive. Lineman it's gonna Be
Tyler booker the. Guard that's a bit of a surprise
monster guard. Aul that's way further THAN i thought he would.
GO i thought he was heading for The.

Speaker 7 (01:05:29):
Ravens, potentially it is way further up THAN i thought
he would. Go But Tyler booker is gonna be the
pick To. Dallas and now things get interesting here at.

Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
Thirteen could you indeed see The Daniel jeremiah predicted trade
up to get in front of The colts with The.
Broncos could you see The rams trading up to thirteen
to Get Tyler. WARREN i know they're interested in the
tight end position as. Well something to keep your eye on.
HERE i, MEAN i really Love Tyler, booker and we
talked about it right before the. Draft he's a maller
right as an offensive. Guard but the thing about it
is he's a big. Human he's a massive. Human but

(01:05:58):
it's just one of those deals where it's like we
said going into this, draft there were probably give some
players that go in spots we didn't really predict OR
i think maybe a little bit earlier than what we.
Wanted and because it's a little bit of a pick
what you, need Right and for The, cowboys who just
recently had a massive Retirement Zach, martin they need interior offensive,
line they need just offensive way and they've been so.

(01:06:19):
Good i'll Give dallas credit for, this you, know and
a lot of people, saying, oh, Well jerry's gonna take
a wide receiver, Here he's gonna Take Matthew. Golden, Right,
instead he goes interior offensive line and that has really
paid off for them over the years doing.

Speaker 7 (01:06:30):
THAT i will, say There's matt Gold jerry Had Matt
golden at house during the.

Speaker 5 (01:06:34):
Visit he Brought Matt golden to the. House that says
SOMETHING i don't to.

Speaker 7 (01:06:38):
ME i wonder If dallas maybe trades back up into
the first, again if he falls far.

Speaker 5 (01:06:41):
ENOUGH i don't. Know that's that's interesting to.

Speaker 6 (01:06:43):
Me, well this doesn't change anything the WAY i see The.

Speaker 8 (01:06:45):
Cowboys if you go back a couple of years ago
when they Drafted Ezekiel.

Speaker 6 (01:06:48):
Elliott what was the thing that they did the.

Speaker 8 (01:06:51):
Most they built out their offensive line and they continue
to do this and you know this day everything saw
us in the trenches and with the team suffering and
you got a new head coach and they were suffering
with the run game trying to get.

Speaker 6 (01:07:02):
Established you have to take these type of.

Speaker 8 (01:07:04):
Chances and we're going to see a lot of guys
who were not predicted to go in the first round
all of a sudden jump in the first round because
of that early trade at the top of the.

Speaker 6 (01:07:14):
Draft let's talk a little bit about shad Or sanders at.
All No, steelers you think, it you think it twenty.

Speaker 7 (01:07:22):
One I'm i'm With nicholas when that was WHERE i
projected him at twenty. ONE i think if if that doesn't, happen,
THOUGH i think YOU'RE i think you're probably looking at
the second round OR i don't think anybody else is
coming up for.

Speaker 8 (01:07:30):
Him but even if he does fall to the second,
round is that the worst case? Scenario if he falls
to the right, team not a bad, play not a bad.

Speaker 6 (01:07:37):
Place.

Speaker 5 (01:07:38):
NO i, MEAN i THINK i think we all know
here that.

Speaker 6 (01:07:43):
You, know it's nice to go to a place that
understands with what you have and how to how to
make it. Work but we've seen guys that are not
drafted in the first round have really GOOD nfl. Careers
SO i just wonder do you think The giants would
think about moving back up into the first round For

(01:08:03):
Schadoor sanders if The steelers don't take, him.

Speaker 5 (01:08:08):
It would make a lot of. SENSE i MAINTAIN i
would be stunned if he made it to the second.
ROUND i, mean at this, POINT i said to the
let's said of the podium the, COMMISSIONER i, guess, oh we.
Don't we. Don't oh we have.

Speaker 6 (01:08:26):
Nick on as said of The commissioner's actually ahead.

Speaker 5 (01:08:29):
Of the game in that, regard sound your, turn go, ahead.

Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
Pick a pick is now.

Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
In you're gonna do your Best Roger goodell impression for.

Speaker 6 (01:08:37):
Us, NO i want to maintain my, Friendship so, No
i'm not Gonna The cowboys pick was just. Announced we
told you about, That Tyler, booker.

Speaker 5 (01:08:45):
Yep but, ANYWAYS i just don't See chaudor slipping out
of the first. Round it would Really.

Speaker 6 (01:08:51):
Then you didn't, answer do you think The giants might
be interested in moving if The steelers do not Take Chad,
sanders would The giants move back into the low first?

Speaker 5 (01:09:00):
ROUND i don't think for. HIM i think it's a,
competition a competition between The giants and The saints to
Get Jackson.

Speaker 6 (01:09:07):
Dark so you're, saying so if The steelers at twenty
one don't Take Shador, sanders you're saying he's gonna slide
into the second. Round even, then as we sit here
and play with somebody else's, chips who would be the right? Team,
WELL i, mean, look.

Speaker 5 (01:09:27):
That becomes the.

Speaker 7 (01:09:28):
Question now you start to look, Around you're, like, okay
wait a, minute we've got to Do The raiders suddenly
have him in the second. Round he's got the connection
To Tom brady with the. Mentorship The raiders don't really
have a whole lot outside Of. Gino they're at the quarterback.
Position they're looking to Trade ad and O'Connell. Away could
we See Shador sanders actually wind up with The raiders
as they pick Up Ashton janty in the first, round
they come back and get the door in the.

Speaker 6 (01:09:47):
Second the big part of.

Speaker 8 (01:09:48):
This, guys is it doesn't make a difference when you
GO i, MEAN i know for quarterbacks we make a
big hooplar about, it but it's where you. Go we've
seen a lot of quarterbacks get you in the first
round and they go to a team that really is
not a great fit For ardor and his skill. Set
it's about going to the right team that's going to

(01:10:09):
put players around. Him that's WHY i will be surprised
if once the stealers are on the clock they do
not Take Shudor.

Speaker 6 (01:10:17):
Sammers that would be a huge surprise for.

Speaker 5 (01:10:19):
Me what do you think The dolphins are gonna do
here At? BEN i believe there are a couple of
different ways to. GO i think you could go tight.
END i think you give offensive. LINE i think you
a corner as. Well baron is, There Will.

Speaker 7 (01:10:30):
Johnson Will johnson his knee, issues THOUGH i would not
be surprised to see him. Slide he's got serious degenerative knee,
issues AND i would not be surprised to see him.

Speaker 5 (01:10:37):
Slide everybody he was in the conversation to be the top, corner,
yeah Besides travis of, course AND i will as an,
ANECDOTE i will also Say mike McDaniel better win this
year because if he, Doesn't i'm telling you that locker
room the veterans in that locker room are already a
little on edge about his ability to be the daddy
in that locker.

Speaker 8 (01:10:54):
Room but with that being, said don't you think with
two of being your quarterback of choice you want to
help out the offense and maybe go tight.

Speaker 5 (01:11:02):
End i'm not opposed to it at all if it were,
Me and you, Know, miami we just Had we just
had a tight end Of Tyler warren's caliber following her. Lap,
YEAH i think he fits the. SCHEME i think he's
a phenomenal, athlete AND i think a guy Like mike
McDaniel can scheme things up to move him around.

Speaker 8 (01:11:16):
Too you know what's interesting you bring Up Tyler warren
because he reminds me a little Of George kidto with
the way that he. Plays and McDaniel's was with that
forty Nine ers coaching staff WHEN i was, there And
John imbrey did a great job coaching Up George kiddo
to being A Pro bowl. GUY i see that same
skill set In Tyler, warren SO i wouldn't be surprised
if they go that.

Speaker 6 (01:11:36):
Direction dolphins on the, clock and let's, SEE i THOUGHT
i saw the commissioner walking. BACK i did. Not so
we're speculating now The dolphins with the thirteenth overall. Pick
just to remind, everybody The broncos right now with the
twentieth overall selection in the first.

Speaker 5 (01:11:55):
ROUND i will tell you first, source The dolphins are
on the phone right. Now SO i don't know if
that's gonna get, done but they're on the. Phone. Interesting
you got some interesting, sources you. Do you, KNOW i
wouldn't Hate JOHN. A brown here, baron Sorry. Texas that
would be.

Speaker 7 (01:12:14):
They're gonna Trade Jalen, Ramsey so the corner does make
sense there if they do go that.

Speaker 5 (01:12:17):
Route, YEAH i Like joddy are a. Lot he's a
really good. Player go, Ahead. Kayla ramsey And mike McDaniel
have not gotten. Along they are there at the point
where they were completely at, odds and so he will
be dealt before the start of training.

Speaker 8 (01:12:28):
Camp but there's that move actually once again Help mike
mcdanie's offense and. Tour because when we talk about, quarterbacks
it's all about setting up that.

Speaker 5 (01:12:36):
Quarterback well watch you bet with the two best friends
of a, quarterback you get. RUN i got a strong,
run game of strong.

Speaker 6 (01:12:40):
Defense, well, damn WHAT i would say is you look
at the you look at the skill position players for The.
DOLPHINS i would feel pretty good about. Him if they
don't do anything, right just Damn pat don mean anything at.
ALL i Like Jayalen. Waddle uh tyreek. H i can't
think of the tight ends. Name so it used to

(01:13:03):
be Aaseacky now he's. Gone that's the other guy that
got there. Now, yeah we can't think of it. Either
the other.

Speaker 8 (01:13:08):
Guy this would be a great opportunity for the now
The Denver, bronkers but The Miami dolphins to go wide,
receiver they win defensive.

Speaker 5 (01:13:16):
Line Kenneth.

Speaker 7 (01:13:17):
Grantz The dolphins did that sort of looks, like, man
that's gonna Hurt Jim harboss.

Speaker 5 (01:13:22):
Feelings that is. Fascinating The colts aren't going to take
The cults are not going to trade out by the.
Way they will Take. Tyler they're gonna Take Tyler warren
for fourteen per per source if he's, There So dolphins
will go at fourteen and THAT i will tell. YOU
i don't believe The broncos have anything else to trade
up for at this.

Speaker 7 (01:13:37):
Point if you believe The Matt golden rumor that you
And rappaport had running around for a minute. There you,
know maybe there's, that BUT i think my my pick
there remains.

Speaker 5 (01:13:45):
Intact all, Right so, Yeah dolphins Taking Kenneth. GRANT i,
Mean i'm a Big Kenneth grant. FAN i don't THINK
i would have seen that one. Coming but once, Again,
david we talked about. Him, man you you get a
spot where maybe you can't trade. Out maybe they were
trying to see what's. Available taking a defensive. Lineman it's
just a smart.

Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
Play, YEAH i think once again to, me it speaks
to and we've talked about this ad nauseum ON Koi.
Sports but you've got thirty two, teams all of them
have scouts and A. Gm all of them watch.

Speaker 5 (01:14:20):
Tape it's the same tape that everybody.

Speaker 6 (01:14:24):
Watches and it's just amazing to me the discrepancy in
terms of what one scout or ONE gm or one
team might think about a really good. Player if you
go down and talk to teams see in that, equation
they don't see all those traits that the first group

(01:14:45):
of evaluators. See so it's what makes THE, NFL i,
think in terms of tonight and tomorrow And, SATURDAY i,
mean it makes it a really interesting three day, period
because you just don't know what teams are going to.

Speaker 5 (01:14:58):
Do do you are you gonna feel AND i imagine
any The colts are gonna Take Tyler warren, Here so is?
That how do you Think broncos fans are going to
react to the fact That Tyler warren got all the
way down to fourteen and The broncos probably could have
been in range for.

Speaker 8 (01:15:12):
Him, WELL i, mean once, again it Does it all
depends on what The broncos do at, twenty if they
take a running back at Twenty Trevion, Hennison Cushan. JENKINS
i don't think no one's gonna care at that particular
point because they already Have Everan ingram and The broncos
can always use one of the later picks and pick
up another tight. End SO i don't think anyone's gonna

(01:15:32):
lose their. Mind, OBVIOUSLY i would have loved to See
Tyler warren here in The broncos, uniform but it doesn't
look like that's gonna.

Speaker 7 (01:15:38):
Happen, yeah it's. Not The colts are gonna take. Him
that was that was that was the case as soon
As Colston loveland win at. TEN i don't know if
that's been announced, yet but it's gonna. Happen by the,
way if you're a if you're A, tyler you're an offensive.
Lineman how much do you expect To dallas to draft you.

Speaker 5 (01:15:56):
If you're what just random knows.

Speaker 6 (01:15:59):
Like going over under his Own Tyler's, now that was
like a floating.

Speaker 5 (01:16:03):
Question Chris paul De lane, HERE i didn't understand the.
Question i'm making quips About dallas draft and people with
a specific, name and then only you get the basketball
just went over the rim and it went over the.
Backboards The phil Schymer Hoffman, Fromman.

Speaker 6 (01:16:20):
I'm the guy sitting in the first row eating popcorn
saying did he shoot?

Speaker 5 (01:16:23):
That this guy shot his, hands, like oh my, goodness
good way to. Go so we're at pick. Fifteen, now
well we still.

Speaker 6 (01:16:33):
HAVEN'T i, mean, officially the commissioner's not announced that It's Tyler,
warren but he is in fact on his way to
the Podium.

Speaker 5 (01:16:39):
Miami uh, yeah he's still he's still l twenty FIVE
Nfl draft To.

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
Miami dope and Select Kenneth's grant Defensive Tackle.

Speaker 13 (01:16:51):
Michigan Kenneth Grant Defensive, Life michigan six hundred thirty one
pounds first, road.

Speaker 11 (01:17:01):
Tipped in the air and intercepted By michigan And Kenneth.

Speaker 5 (01:17:05):
Grant with the long arms at three forty in gulfing the.

Speaker 13 (01:17:09):
Ball Kenneth grant is a back to back member of
The All Big ten second team and Recorded michigan's only
second their twenty twenty Four National Championship game. Victory at his,
Best grant can use his intimidating frame the overpower lineman
with his pure strength from the nose. Tackle, However Scout
site his inconsistency is his biggest.

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
Question mark in THE.

Speaker 6 (01:17:29):
Nfl So Kenneth, grant now a member of The Miami,
dolphins a second Team All conference, player and he's the
thirteenth pick in the first. Round you Think michigan the
last couple of. Years of, course they played in the
championship game a year. Ago they've got two guys this,

(01:17:51):
year both defensive, linemen picked in the top thirteen.

Speaker 8 (01:17:54):
Picks that says a lot about how the league now
views interior.

Speaker 6 (01:17:59):
LINEMAN i didn't look at running, backs but there's a
lot about How Jim harbaugh, recruits.

Speaker 8 (01:18:05):
Not just how he, recruits but how they developed defensive.
PLAYERS i mean to have two guys on THE d
side of the ball go with this early in the.
Draft that says a. Lot and for, me we always
thinking about THE. Nfl the guy's going from college to THE.
Nfl but think about those guys who are sitting, home
who are high school, players who are interior defensive, linemen
who are trying to figure out where.

Speaker 6 (01:18:25):
DO i need to take my, talent because usually it's
to THE.

Speaker 8 (01:18:28):
Sec you don't have to go to THE sec anymore
to be drafted in the first. Round that's what these
two picksail. Me, yeah good.

Speaker 5 (01:18:34):
Point i'm a Big Kenneth grant, fan AND i mean
we've talked About Mason graham as, well AND i JUST
i liked him. Better BUT i think it's more about
WHERE i Thought Kenneth grant would, go which is maybe
this is a ticker early we talked about with The
chargers as a consideration there With Jim, Harbord BUT i
just like he's a wide body defensive. Lineman he eats up.
Gaps he's just a sound. Player maybe he's not the

(01:18:55):
flashy franchise face kind of, guy but he's a sound
defensive Tack.

Speaker 7 (01:19:00):
Uh The falcons being up here on the CLOCK i
believe this is going to be a defensive lineman or an.

Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
Edge the question is we said of a quarterback and Stee.

Speaker 7 (01:19:09):
YEAH i think the question here is because a lot
of the guys here are character. Guys it Was Jaylen,
walker who's, falling character Of Mike, green who's got two
sexual assaults off the.

Speaker 5 (01:19:20):
Field you Got.

Speaker 7 (01:19:21):
Walter nolan who's got some substance abuse. Questions you've got
several guys here THAT i think it could be the.
Pick but The Falcons Raheem morris has always been the
kind of guy who's willing to take chances on those
kinds of.

Speaker 5 (01:19:31):
Players it'll be interesting to see who the pick is
here at fifteen For.

Speaker 6 (01:19:34):
Falcons so at pick fourteen The Indianapolis, colts although The
commissioners not yet, announced it will Pick Penn state tight
End Tyler. Warren that will put The Atlanta falcons on The.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
The Indianapolis colts Select Tyler warren.

Speaker 5 (01:19:50):
Tight End Penn, State.

Speaker 6 (01:19:55):
Tyler, Warren.

Speaker 13 (01:19:57):
Penn state six and sixty five pounds quite.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Action allen Waits warts wait ros here quarter For.

Speaker 5 (01:20:05):
Warren he's, Down he's.

Speaker 13 (01:20:07):
Gone such stop pass sites The Swiss Army knife of
THE Nfl draft heads to the pros after a stellar
twenty twenty four campaign and Happy. Batley warren won The
john Mckew, award given the college football's best tight, end
and finished seventh in The heisman voting best for a
tight end in almost fifty. Years Expect warren to play

(01:20:27):
multiple spots in THE, nfl but his inline blocking does
need to get better at the next. Level above, All
warren will bring a contagious energy to his new teams
and can expect the ball.

Speaker 6 (01:20:37):
Early in all, So Tyler, warren now a member of
The Indianapolis, colts been the size of these tight. ENDS
i mean he. Is he is over sixty, five, yes
and right at two hundred and sixty pounds at.

Speaker 5 (01:20:54):
Twelve hundred receiving yards last year one hundred four. CATCHES
i mean that's LIKE i, said he and they move
them all. Around they'll put him in the backfield. TOO i,
MEAN i think there's an opportunity there For, indy who
again it's a little bit murky on what they're gonna
look like offensively this.

Speaker 7 (01:21:09):
Year no excuses now For Anthony richardson Or daniel Jo Michael.
Pittman you Got Alec, pearce who's got all the wheels
in the. World and you Got Tyler warren out, there
you got old speed to throw the football to one
of you, guys got to get the ball.

Speaker 6 (01:21:18):
To him as a former defensive.

Speaker 8 (01:21:20):
Player while you guys talk about all those great guys
for The, colts the one GUY i believe that this
is gonna be fit As Jonathan, taylor the running. BACK i,
mean now you are opening up the formation and now
you're creating a favorable. Box so now he has guys
that he could run. Through and If i'm, Him i'm
smiling right now because when you think About Tyler, warren
the versatility that he brings to the, game AND i

(01:21:42):
know that the comments was just, like, well he needs to.

Speaker 6 (01:21:44):
Work on his.

Speaker 8 (01:21:44):
Blocking, yeah that's a part element of his. Game he needs,
to But i've seen him take guys and position block
and drive them off the. Ball so great pickup for.
Them if you Are Anthony richardson Or Daniel, jones you
also are smiling his quarterbacks as.

Speaker 6 (01:21:59):
Well All, right we have next The Atlanta falcons at pick.
Fifteen The Denver broncos pick is getting closer as we.
Speak they right now at pick number. Twenty my original
forecast was for The broncos to trade. DOWN i know

(01:22:19):
your guy that you, picked and you'll make that public
here in a little. Bit that guy is still. Alive
do you do you think that's the direction they are
going at this. POINT i believe it. Is we'll.

Speaker 5 (01:22:29):
SEE i believe that that's the direction that it's.

Speaker 6 (01:22:32):
Going we'll.

Speaker 5 (01:22:33):
See we'll see if WHAT i CONVERSATIONS i, had we'll
see IF i read the tele's. Corrected. There The falcons
gotta go defensive line. Here, yeah it's got to be
a pass rusher and one way.

Speaker 7 (01:22:44):
Ago whether you're taking whether you're Going Walter, nolan whether
you're Going Jaylen, Walker Mike, green there's SEVERAL i THINK
i think.

Speaker 6 (01:22:52):
It's, hard, honestly And i'm all for second. CHANCES i
think it's, hard this this high in the draft to
justify The Mike green.

Speaker 5 (01:22:59):
PICK i hear, you that's one of.

Speaker 7 (01:23:02):
THOSE i think they wanted Mikel williams in, reality but
they knew he was never going to get, there and then,
that you, know they couldn't afford to move up and
give up more ammo after doing the double stacked quarterback
thing last. Year so this is gonna be it's gonna be.
INTERESTING i Don't i'm trying to look around at other.
Guys you can be around. Here maybe you go to
you Hot campbell and you Move ellis to the pass
rush to the, linebacker ALTHOUGH i know The bucks want.

Speaker 5 (01:23:23):
Him i'm just looking around at names here AND i
Just walker was gonna go much. Earlier, yeah there's some
character stuff there.

Speaker 8 (01:23:28):
Too i'm surprised neither of you guys are even talking
about wide receiver because that was a big issue for The,
falcons you, know later on in.

Speaker 6 (01:23:38):
The back, half like why did they beat The Washington?

Speaker 8 (01:23:41):
Commanders, Right jay And daniels moved the ball down the
field And Michael pennings had, opportunities but he had limited options.

Speaker 6 (01:23:48):
On offense side of the.

Speaker 5 (01:23:49):
Ball Drake london gonna, say, okay, well well. LOOSE i,
mean you got Pile, pits.

Speaker 6 (01:23:54):
But they used him late in the. Season, Rogers i'm
not Sure Kyle pitts is going to be Around. Atlanta
so If pitts is not, there you Got bijon once.

Speaker 8 (01:24:03):
Again if you don't move people off the line of,
scrimmage you're gonna be able to stack the line of
scrimmage Against. Bijeon So i'm thinking the best thing For
rahim right now is wide.

Speaker 6 (01:24:13):
Receiver you.

Speaker 8 (01:24:14):
Need you need a guy who can, separate guy who
can block on a, perimeter but a guy who's actually
an impact.

Speaker 6 (01:24:19):
Player so if in fact it's a wide, Receiver Matthew
golden is still that, available that would be the.

Speaker 5 (01:24:24):
One, yeah that would be the one you'd have to
go with here.

Speaker 8 (01:24:28):
Because would be, YEAH i, mean you can't go wrong
with either one of those, guys BUT i think matt
gold would probably be the better fit just based on, looking,
well look at what they.

Speaker 5 (01:24:37):
HAVE i don't know you. Could people are tweeting, out
is does The atlantago creepy here.

Speaker 6 (01:24:43):
Been listening to the.

Speaker 5 (01:24:44):
Show we're gonna step aside and take a very short time.

Speaker 6 (01:24:48):
Out The Atlanta falcons are on the clock with pick number.

Speaker 6 (01:25:38):
Viewers from the end.

Speaker 12 (01:25:39):
Zone stuff it by, time stuffs.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
Forward textra Sun Jaalen, walker the elite pass pusher got.

Speaker 13 (01:25:46):
There walker's glittering three season career At georgia began with
A Nashville championship in the twenty twenty two campaign and
culminated in twenty twenty four when he won The Fuckus
award as the nation's top, linebacker racking up six and
a half sacks and ten and a half tackles for.
Loss walker also stood out for his leadership. Ability in
addition to his, versatility is an edge rusher.

Speaker 5 (01:26:08):
And an off ball.

Speaker 6 (01:26:08):
Linebacker we welcome you Back Broncos, park powered by a common.
Spirit that's where we Are Dave, Logan Ryan edwards along
with OUR nfl Insider Benjamin albright Former Bronco Nick. Ferguson
we are here covering the twenty twenty FIVE Nfl, draft
and as you just, heard we are through pick number.

(01:26:30):
Fifteen now is The Atlanta falcons have taken from The
university Of georgia edge of pass Rusher Jalen. Walker you
think About, fellas including this, draft the last three, drafts
how Many georgia defensive players have been, Drafted AND i
mean in the top three. Rounds all you have to

(01:26:51):
do is look at the Roster philadelphia roster a third
of the league right, there and they told you exactly
what it's. About AND i go back to that game
when you to get after opposing quarterbacks with the only four.
Guys that changes everything that other teams will look. At
we know it's a copycat. League so The falcons picking
up a.

Speaker 8 (01:27:09):
Guy like, THIS i mean when you look at the,
size it's not that PREMIERE nfl, size but guys again
a smaller, noun, speedy more aerodynamic as you call, it
and being able to turn that.

Speaker 5 (01:27:21):
Corner If Jalen walker had Fallen toto The broncos at,
twenty that would have been kind of in the the
realm of a player THAT i would have been kind of.
Interested remember When sean was sharing that story in the
pre draft press, Conference remember.

Speaker 6 (01:27:35):
The segment things that make you go, yeah, yeah that
would have been.

Speaker 5 (01:27:39):
That that would have been. That, god he's just such
a fluid, athlete and once again there's been debate here
in the pre draft process whether he's an, edge whether
he's an off the ball. LINEBACKER i honestly think you
can line him up. Either BUT i think he's going
to start at, edge especially For. ATLANTA i mean that
makes a ton of. Sense AND i mean you talked about,
WELL i think he had like ten TFLs, yeah ten

(01:28:00):
and a HALF TfL six and a half, sacks and
that's the guy that didn't always play rushing in the
bats or you, know that's just. Impressive But i've been
such a big fan of.

Speaker 6 (01:28:09):
His cardinals are on the clock with pick number, sixteen
and again The broncos at pick number. Twenty so it's
The cardinals now The bengals at pick number, seventeen followed
by The seahawks at, Eighteen Tampa bay at, nineteen and
then The broncos at.

Speaker 5 (01:28:27):
Twenty yew His cardinals is going to be. INTERESTING a
lot of. Directions you could.

Speaker 7 (01:28:30):
Go you need a, corner you could go With, barnare
you need some offensive line. Help Josh simmons could, be
could be somebody you look at. Here Matt, golden the
wide receiver still slipping, there could be in play as.
Well a lot of different, directions LIKE, booka a lot
of different. Directions you could go here if You're, carolina excuse,
me if you're The. Cardinals there's A cardinals and they
have you, know they are a team that they believe

(01:28:51):
they're going to compete in THE Nfc west this. Year
they believe that the division is taking a step, back
is up For. Grams they believe they're in the in
the driver's seat in the.

Speaker 5 (01:28:58):
Division well.

Speaker 6 (01:28:59):
Believe in, reality it's two different. Things so you can
believe all you want, to but if you.

Speaker 8 (01:29:05):
Don't have the necessary players to go out there and
execute for THE nfl, season all of that is just
water under the.

Speaker 5 (01:29:11):
Bridge And nick on told me that he believed he
could dunk a. BALL i Believe nick used to be
able to dunk a. Ball i've Seen i've Seen nick
mex but working on he's in the.

Speaker 6 (01:29:20):
STUDIO i Know nick knocked people out in the middle
of the football. Field that's what he. Did do you
have a dunk a? Ball? NO i haven't you could?

Speaker 5 (01:29:27):
Dunk did you dunk A? Gatoray? Tables who do we?

Speaker 6 (01:29:34):
Have The cardinals taken, Fellows.

Speaker 5 (01:29:35):
Walter nolan he likes to. Ski you love saying that
he loves fresh. Powder this is my favorite defensive lineman
in the, draft AND i think it's as a matter
of just the explosive. Nature you, know sometimes you're taking traits,
players and the thing about him is the, motivation at
least from my, understanding you're gonna have to and that's
a weird thing to say about a football, player but

(01:29:58):
that's been the biggest complaint about him IS i need
the motivation to keep him playing at the highest level.
Possible but, again your Guy Jonathan, gannon that's that's he's
now tasked to do.

Speaker 7 (01:30:07):
That, YEAH i think they've got a good support system,
There Nick rolis at THE dc that they can they.

Speaker 5 (01:30:11):
Can keep an eye on.

Speaker 7 (01:30:12):
That but, yeah there's some substance abuse issues there and
something to keep your eye on with. THAT i Had
nolan going next to The Cincinnati. BENGALS i think they
were looking forward to. That so now that The bengal's
gonna be on the, CLOCK i believe we're looking a
defensive line or edge player. Here The, bengals who have
all their money tied up in their, offense have to
hit on these defensive picks and they've got to make
a bunch of them to fill in that.

Speaker 5 (01:30:31):
Defense it's a bunch of it's a bunch OF ufl. Players,
Ruster right, now.

Speaker 6 (01:30:34):
What do we think The bengals eventually would do With Trey.
HENDRICKSON i don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:30:39):
What they get a deal done.

Speaker 7 (01:30:40):
THERE i, think, HONESTLY i think IT'S i think it's
a BAD i, mean he's a great, player BUT i
think they've made a bad decision to put all this
other money into their.

Speaker 5 (01:30:49):
OFFENSE i don't think they had. THAT i think it they.
Can't they need to move him for picks and fill
out that.

Speaker 8 (01:30:54):
Defense That bengals defense was atrocious last, season and that's
he pulling it. Mildly so With Trey, Hendrickson, Agree, ben
you know already that you can't get a deal, done
so go ahead and move on from. Him hit some draft,
capital gets some young guys who are will keep you
under the salary cap because the majority of your money

(01:31:15):
is on your offensive side the, ball and you really
have to lean heavily on those guys as far as
being able to outscore opponents to kind of make sure
that you're in a lot of those.

Speaker 6 (01:31:24):
Games The bengals on the pick now with selection number
seventeen and again followed by The, seahawks The, bucks and
then The. Broncos can't Wait Broncos Radio. Network draft coverage
is presented By colorado's For Responsible Energy, development Developing Colorado's
energy Building colorado's future details at credit dot. Org that

(01:31:45):
a cred dot. Org so what do we Think cincinnati here?
Does and again we've talked About Shudeuah. Sanders once you
still hear in That pittsburgh is the play for, HIM i.

Speaker 5 (01:31:59):
Think that's where it. Starts unless somebody trades up in
front Of pittsburgh with The Denver broncos there at, TWENTY
i think the clock starts For Shador.

Speaker 6 (01:32:07):
Sanders let's just, say let's just say that. Happened who would?
THAT i, mean what teams do you think would have
an interest in doing?

Speaker 5 (01:32:13):
THAT i, MEAN i don't.

Speaker 7 (01:32:16):
Know The browns have the. Picks, now you could theoretically do.
That you've got to have a little. Competition we can't
he pick At Joe. Flacco if you believe in him,
enough The browns could do. It looking at other teams
that would be.

Speaker 5 (01:32:27):
There The, RAIDERS i think would be a team you
would watch FOR i don't believe that The saints would
be involved there at.

Speaker 7 (01:32:33):
All i'm pretty confident The giants would not be involved.
There SO I i, MEAN i think YOU'RE i think
you're The, raiders OR i think you're maybe The browns
and you're and you're looking at.

Speaker 5 (01:32:44):
That those are the ones that jump out at me.
Immediately you, know there's not really anybody else there that
sits there and, screams, hey this is this is a
move where we're. Making you, know maybe The rams sneaky
as a potential successor To Matt. Stafford now he doesn't
embody the McVey trade traits that you would think, of
which is get the ball out in a big. Arm
he's kind of the opposite of. That but you, know

(01:33:05):
maybe maybe they're sneaky in play there as. Well i've
seen a few mocks to twenty six where they've taken
a quarterback and just sort of Like. Rams, yeah The
rams just sort of an investment in the future kind.
Of but who have you Seen i've Seen Jackson dart
in some mock. DRAFTS i could believe that because he
embodies the trade and he's a big arm and you,
know gets gets a ball At chador is kind of
the opposite of the McVeigh. Archetype you, know he holds

(01:33:25):
it a little too long and he doesn't have the biggest.
Arm but if you're thinking in terms of What sean
McVay is looking at and, saying, WELL i can put
myself in position to get the quarterback bay THAT i.
Want maybe he's not available because you don't know What
pittsburgh is gonna do, it and you also don't know
what these teams coming in out of the second round
are going to. Do maybe you get aggressive here and
it's only trading up from twenty six to twenty and
that would probably be pretty good news for The. Broncos

(01:33:46):
if you believe that there are several players on the
board right now they, like AND i. DO i believe
it'll BE i believe it'll Be An, ed your defensive lineman.

Speaker 6 (01:33:54):
Here for The.

Speaker 5 (01:33:54):
Bengals we'll See we'll See.

Speaker 6 (01:33:57):
Cincinnati at pick number seventeen, again The, seahawks The, bucks
and then The. Broncos we come to your life From Broncos,
park powered By Common. Spirit out here with a number
of our media friends covering the twenty twenty FIVE Nfl.

Speaker 5 (01:34:12):
Draft in case she just joined. Us there was a
trade early in the first.

Speaker 6 (01:34:16):
Round in, fact the second overall, pick The Cleveland browns
moved down to the fifth, pick traded with The Jacksonville
jaguars and Selected Travis. Hunter So hunter goes as the second.
Pick he just doesn't go to the team that had
the second pick when the draft. Started he is a
member of The Jacksonville.

Speaker 5 (01:34:32):
Jaguars, well The Cincinnati bengals will take a defensive. Lineman
this is interesting, Though they're going to Take Shamar. STEWART
i had him a little bit later in the first.
Round he's a trades, guys all trade, guy but almost no.
Production when you go back and look looked a little
lost at.

Speaker 7 (01:34:46):
TIMES i guess they've Al golden believes he's going to
be able to coach him up there In.

Speaker 5 (01:34:49):
Cincinnati, yeah he was from Mar Stewart and that was
so funny talking to him out there at the combine
because he had the kind of the famous quote of
the rounds there he said stats are. Overrated he was
asked about his lack of production in. College he, said
stats are. Overrated just look at the. Tape and we
knew he would test off the books and he absolutely.
Did at the, combine he put up just unbelievable numbers

(01:35:10):
because he's that. Dude he's just that, physical free.

Speaker 8 (01:35:13):
How many, times and we've seen guys actually test out
of the, roof but the testing in the film don't don't.
Match and for, me WHEN i see, that that's a
red flag for, me right BECAUSE i think of that,
player what motivates?

Speaker 6 (01:35:29):
You you would think that this is the biggest moment
of your. Life you've been waiting for this for a.

Speaker 8 (01:35:33):
While you put your effort in that last, year your collegiate,
year and for to make a statement and throw people
off the. Set, well stats are kind of, overrated says
a person who doesn't have.

Speaker 6 (01:35:45):
A lot of.

Speaker 8 (01:35:45):
Stats so that would be DISAP i mean that would
be disappointing for me as a teammate of a guy
that's coming in defensively And i'm playing in the.

Speaker 5 (01:35:55):
Secondary, well and for, Me i'm looking at this, like
you're that, strong you're that, fast you're that. Big how
did you not dominate guys at that? Level and you're
expecting me to dominate guys at this?

Speaker 8 (01:36:03):
Level, well what if he were to, say, well you know,
WHAT i was so dominated that they double team and
someone else was able.

Speaker 5 (01:36:09):
To eat would pull up the clicker on the. Table
that's not, like all, right you showed me here when
you were double team and you couldn't just. Stop, yeah
he had four and a half sacks over three.

Speaker 6 (01:36:16):
Years that's.

Speaker 5 (01:36:17):
Horrible it's an edge. Rusher four and a half sacks.

Speaker 6 (01:36:19):
Over three, Years, DAVE i think both you're saying it's to, reach, Right.

Speaker 5 (01:36:22):
YEAH i think it's a workout. Warrior i'll put it
down By.

Speaker 8 (01:36:25):
STAVE i believe you AND i right now can go
out and at least get two sacks over for a.

Speaker 5 (01:36:30):
Career over he had four and a half for his career,
right four of his.

Speaker 6 (01:36:35):
Career, YEAH i think we get. Two. Yeah and the
seventeen games, schedule, YEAH i mean Somebody i'd come off the.
Edge somebody is bound to run into. ME i mean
on some sort of naked boot or. Something and the
quarterback's gonna run into, ME i think for. One So Shamir,
stewart the defensive, lineman goes to The Cincinnati bengals had

(01:36:57):
picked number. Seventeen The Seattle seahawks are on o'clock pick number,
eighteen followed by The Tampa Bay buccaneers and then The
Denver broncos at pick number twenty and then Maybe Shader,
sanders The university Of colorado quarterback at pick number twenty.

Speaker 5 (01:37:12):
One, Well seahawk's gonna be. INTERESTING i think this can
go a couple of different.

Speaker 7 (01:37:14):
Ways the interior offensive line is a big one, Here
Gray zabels who have put the mock, draft.

Speaker 5 (01:37:18):
AND i believe that could be a. Pick, however you
could also see wide receiver here as the team that's
moved on From Tyler, LOCKETT Dk. Metcalf they've Got Jackson
smith And jigban, now but they need to they need
to get somebody else over. There They Matt golden sitting right,
There Mika buka sitting right. There this is A kubiak,
offense you.

Speaker 6 (01:37:36):
Know so you Know, GOBIE i want tot run the, ball,
well BUT i play.

Speaker 5 (01:37:40):
Accident, Yeah they've they've got the and they've got the
backs for. That they've got you, Know Kenth walker.

Speaker 6 (01:37:43):
There this is a question for.

Speaker 2 (01:37:44):
Me if seventeen, pick here's the tradition FIVE Nfl, Draft
The Cincinnati bengals Select Chamar stewart defensive End TEXAS a and.

Speaker 1 (01:37:56):
M Chamar stewart defensive.

Speaker 13 (01:38:01):
Line The TEXAS a AND m six foot, five two
hundred and sixty seven, Bodies Texas territory baysack a Travel.

Speaker 1 (01:38:10):
Daddy Goes Shamar stewart on the sack loss of.

Speaker 13 (01:38:15):
Nine stuart is a, long athletic defensive end who sets
a strong edge and can.

Speaker 1 (01:38:20):
Play inside as.

Speaker 13 (01:38:21):
Well teams are impressed by his outstanding physical traits and
first step explosive, this but a big question exists Where
stuart posted only four and a half sacks in three
seasons with The. Aggies others focus on his potential upside
and a strong contribution to setting against the.

Speaker 6 (01:38:36):
Rush so even though he had only four and a
half sacks in his, career we were able to find
one of.

Speaker 5 (01:38:44):
Them And Shamar stewart is the worst Of for The Cincinnati,
Bengals we're gonna take a time out up on the clock.

Speaker 6 (01:38:51):
Now The Seattle seahawks.

Speaker 5 (01:38:53):
They owned to trade, down by the, way just a heads, up.

Speaker 6 (01:38:56):
Followed by The Tampa Bay buccaneers and The Denver. Broncos

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
Twenty twenty FIVE Nfl, draft The Seattle seahawks Select Graysabel
Gark North Dakota.

Speaker 13 (01:39:46):
State so, There gray sable interior offensive Lin North dakota
stick six foot, six three hundred and twelve. Pounds sabel
was the first TEAM Apfcs All american in twenty two twenty,
four starting all sixteen games at left tackle for the
twenty twenty FOUR scs Champion North Dakota. State his Brother

(01:40:08):
jet Joined North Dakota state as a tight end in
twenty twenty, four Leading. Gray have turned out significant nil
offers from other schools to stay and play with his.
Brothers disable has AN nfl ready frame with even more
room to. Grow disabel has played four of five offensive
line positions and is considered a tremendous run.

Speaker 6 (01:40:25):
Blocker so you just heard The Seattle seahawks of selected
offensive lineman From Northwestern Gray. Zabel welcome back To Broncos,
park powered By Common. Spirit we're here Live Dave, Logan Ryan,
Edwards Benjamin albright along With Nick ferguson as we cover
the twenty twenty FIVE Nfl, draft and it's getting down

(01:40:47):
to nitty gritty. Now the nineteenth, pick The Tampa Bay
buccaneers will be in the, clock followed by The Denver broncos.

Speaker 7 (01:40:54):
Getting close to quarterback trade up. Territory we'll go back
to Grey'.

Speaker 5 (01:40:57):
Zabel real, quick disable lefty pitcher who threw in the
in the low, nineties was considered a major league baseball,
product opted to go with his first love and football
pays off for. Him winds up in THE nfl, now
gonna be blocking on the interior that That seahawks.

Speaker 7 (01:41:09):
Line as far as The bucks, go My Mick, draft
they got to You Hot campbell. Here they were pretty
vocal early on in this process that they were looking
for linebacker in front seven help.

Speaker 5 (01:41:19):
Here it'd be interesting to me if they go a different.

Speaker 7 (01:41:21):
Direction entirely Possible Matt golden sitting, there BUT i would
not BE i would not be surprised to see Ja Hot,
campbell the the linebacker who's had some issues be the
pick here as.

Speaker 8 (01:41:30):
Well you know WHAT i love about the draft is
that you get into a lot of the player's. Stories
And zabel talked about before the pre draft process that
if he didn't get, drafted he was going to work
with his dad on the.

Speaker 6 (01:41:44):
Farm and here's a guy who already.

Speaker 8 (01:41:46):
Has a built in career POST nfl, career SO i
can see a lot of his money him using the.

Speaker 6 (01:41:52):
Boding, Couchs bosto, Livestock, yes fast, livestock no. Doubt, ryan
would you THINK i like?

Speaker 5 (01:41:58):
IT i, mean he played obviously left tackle there At
North Dakota. State he's gonna play. Interior in, fact one
of the things was fascinating is he got his first
opportunity to play center at The Senior bowl and he
did a, really really good. Job and we've seen players
do that where The Senior bowl gives them an opportunity
to sort of show. Out When miners is a, guy
they got a chance to really show out. There and,
YEAH i, Mean i'm not surprised he went this. High

(01:42:20):
he was considered one of the, best if not the,
best interior offensive. Lineman in, Fact i'm a little surprised
he went Behind, booker WHO i thought was gonna go
a little bit later. On The buccaneers are picking, here
so The broncos are on the. Clock so The buccaneers are,
selecting they're not trading, out and The broncos are on the.

Speaker 6 (01:42:36):
Clock The.

Speaker 5 (01:42:39):
Tampa is not trading. Out that they're not trading, out
but The.

Speaker 6 (01:42:42):
Broncos The broncos wouldn't be on the. Clock tampa makes.

Speaker 5 (01:42:45):
Up, effectively But chefter just sweet out that The buccaneers
are selecting a player, here they're not going to be trading.

Speaker 8 (01:42:50):
Out just to a on Zabel is and you appreciate
appreciate this. Too Uh and this fallows the line to
What alex gives one as an offensive. Lineman and you
think about the tree that you Know Clint kobiac actually comes.
From disable is one of those guys that you are,
latches steer. Guys you grab a guy and you just turn,
them put it in a, dirt and.

Speaker 6 (01:43:10):
You you're able to.

Speaker 8 (01:43:11):
Finish SO i expect for The stay out Of sea
all to not to have just great protection from the passing,
standpoint but also have a great, run you, know because
being able to create those holes and drive guys out
of spots.

Speaker 5 (01:43:23):
The buccaneers surprised everybody take A mecca At.

Speaker 6 (01:43:25):
BUKA i was just sitting here, Thinking Mike evans is
getting up in, years, yes BUT i was thinking it
might Be. Golden, yeah it's it's.

Speaker 7 (01:43:38):
A boca and that sort of. Fits when you look
at who they've, gotten you know there as. Well it
interesting to. ME i, Mean Baker mayfield's got a litany
of weapons throw to.

Speaker 8 (01:43:45):
Now but this is one of the reasons WHY i
thought when The falcons were on the clock looking at
who was inside the, division that The falcons would go
offense and not. Defense but that that that's a division
that is easily winnable By Tampa.

Speaker 5 (01:43:59):
Bay if you're The, BRONCOS i, mean are you pretty
thrilled about the way this has. FALLEN i, mean you
got you got your pick of the running backs Besides Ashton.
Janny you could Take Matthew, golden who's the fastest wide
receiver in this. Draft you could go defense if you
wanted to take take a look at some of the.
CORNERS i gotta be, Honest i'm pretty thrilled about. THIS
i MEAN i really liked The Mecca. BUKA i, mean
we've talked about him a ton. Day IF i really
like A, Mecca buca amazing floor as a wide, receiver

(01:44:23):
does the dirty, work does, blocking you play him in the.
SLOT i, mean and he's a guy that we talked.
About Tyler warren used to being the guy A mecca
is the all time receiving, receiver leading.

Speaker 6 (01:44:32):
Receiver i'm, trying he's the all time receiver. There you
go For Ohio state.

Speaker 5 (01:44:37):
Yards and, catches but he's never been the number. One
it's a fascinating. Thing, yeah he's he's a he's a
really good. Player AND i, mean obviously.

Speaker 6 (01:44:47):
Now The. Broncos once the commissioner walks to the podium
and announces That tampa has Taken abuca From Ohio, state
The broncos will officially be in the. CLOCK i think
the two picks, here the consensus would be the running
back From Ohio, state which would mean back to back buck,
guys OR i could see them trade.

Speaker 5 (01:45:10):
Back, well there's a lot of buzz out there On
twitter about The broncos receiving some calls, here so we'll
kind of see. AGAIN i think more of that is
speculation because of where The steelers are at than. Anything
so nothing official.

Speaker 6 (01:45:24):
Yet but that's so if somebody wanted the next quarterback
Taken denver slot would be the one that they want
to trade.

Speaker 5 (01:45:31):
For it'd be a really good.

Speaker 6 (01:45:32):
One, WELL i mean they, go they jump in front Of.

Speaker 5 (01:45:35):
Pittsburgh that's exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:45:36):
Right SO i mean it's it's the best spot if
they've identified Either, jackson dart Or hide Or sanders as their.
Guy so The Tampa Bay buccaneers to pick us in
and the commissioner will amble towards the podium and announce,
it and then officially for the draft In Green, bay

(01:45:57):
The broncos will be on the. Clock here you.

Speaker 2 (01:45:58):
Go The Tampa bayer select A Mecca, abuka a wide
receiver Oh oha.

Speaker 13 (01:46:06):
Stake that's a A Mecca abuka wide Receiver Ohio, state.

Speaker 1 (01:46:13):
Six foot, one two hundred and two, pounds fifteen yard
line accord with a step back to, throw looks middle
of the. Field it's A buka who waltzes into the
ends on untouched for Another Ohio state touchdown In Mecca.

Speaker 13 (01:46:24):
Ibuka abuka finished his record breaking career At Ohio state
with a second Straight All Big ten thirteen selection to
go with this national, Championship the former five star recruit
enters THE nfl after breaking The ohio state record for
career receptions with two hundred and five and receiving yards
with twenty eight hundred and sixty. Eight his explosiveness from
the slot should make him an instant, starter but questions

(01:46:47):
over his ability to be a true number one, remain.

Speaker 6 (01:46:53):
So buka goes to The Tampa Bay. Buccaneers The Denver
broncos are officially on the.

Speaker 5 (01:46:58):
CLOCK i Like travon. HERE i, MEAN i know we've
been talking about him a lot this week.

Speaker 6 (01:47:05):
Day, yeah get you.

Speaker 5 (01:47:06):
GOT i got the ry smile out of. You And
Ki SPORTS i think yesterday WHEN I sai his, name
because that's who been mocked to The. Broncos BUT i
like trading out they will make the.

Speaker 6 (01:47:16):
PICK i Like Kuishan. Jenkins you like, it oh really
better Than?

Speaker 8 (01:47:20):
Henderson, YES i, do because WHEN i See, JENKINS i
see two, Players Aba, kamara Who Sean bayton is quite familiar,
with And Jamiir, gibbs who plays running back for The Detroit.

Speaker 6 (01:47:31):
Lions do you Think jupkins is Like Jamir gibbs extraordinary?
Skilled the REASON i say that those perimeter, RUNS i
Think henderson's more Like Gibbs. JUDKINS i don't see him
being that type of. Guy that's just. Me that's just my.

Speaker 5 (01:47:48):
Perspective looking at giants are trying to trade back into
round one right.

Speaker 6 (01:47:51):
Now you don't think they're after a? Quarterback do?

Speaker 5 (01:47:53):
YOU i think they could.

Speaker 6 (01:47:54):
BE i think they. Are what else would the? Person
let's see what? Happened you want to bet one of
the steak? Dinners you owe me? That, No i'm only down, one,
Right i'm Giving i'm giving you a. CHANCE i would
give you a chance to. Pay it's been a four
year weight for. ME i told you get it become
a macy in this. Process it's FUNNY i was telling
the kids about. This you would know some up there
at the thing about. This there's anything collect on the state.

(01:48:16):
DINNERS i mean, No the point is to be able
to sit here in this.

Speaker 5 (01:48:19):
Conversation don's.

Speaker 6 (01:48:20):
Right so if The giants are trying to trade back
into the first, ROUND i would think it's for either
to do Or sanders Or Jackson. Dark The broncos are
on the clock and they're not rushing to make this.
Pick they may know exactly what they're, doing but they
haven't announced it. Yet of, course they have ten minutes
between each pick here in the first.

Speaker 5 (01:48:41):
Round, yeah, MAN i mean it feels like this is
a good. SPOT i, mean, well let's make your. PICK
i Did, travion that would be my. PICK i love
The marion.

Speaker 1 (01:48:52):
Two i'm GOING.

Speaker 6 (01:48:55):
I Think travon is their. Pick i'm going with their trading.

Speaker 5 (01:48:58):
Back, OKAY I m what are you? Doing i'm leaning
trade back with? You AND i like the combination of
the two trade back and here you go red or.

Speaker 6 (01:49:05):
Black it's like you're In Las vegas.

Speaker 5 (01:49:11):
Double. Zero put it all in double zerie red or.

Speaker 6 (01:49:13):
Black what are you? Taking oh?

Speaker 5 (01:49:14):
Man this deal?

Speaker 7 (01:49:17):
Done, Man i'm gonna say Tray. Okay If i'm wrong
on this in the, ENVELOPE i have the trade?

Speaker 6 (01:49:22):
Back all, Right, nick what do you have probably With Marion?
Hampton because he is NO i leave That i'll be
buy a basket of. Fries he, doesn't you, know in
the basket of.

Speaker 5 (01:49:33):
Fries just do, That.

Speaker 6 (01:49:34):
Okay but the REASON i say that because.

Speaker 8 (01:49:36):
He reminds me so much Of Deuce, McAllister another running
back who's spencing God com With Sean.

Speaker 6 (01:49:43):
Payton Deuce, Mcowister AND i say this lovingly is as
close to a hammerhead as any running back that has
ever played in the. League that dude would knock you
out with his.

Speaker 8 (01:49:55):
Head we, speaking, WELL i have true the life story
Because i've actually played against in and running.

Speaker 6 (01:50:02):
UP i think IT'S.

Speaker 5 (01:50:05):
I think it's going to Be. Henderson think it's going
to BE i think it's going to Be. Henderson, here
give me a. Second i'm NOT i haven't confirmed that.

Speaker 6 (01:50:10):
Yet so that would be basket of. Fries, well well.
Done well will you like a sweet potato? FRIES i
do like sweet potato. Fries oh, okay, yeah, YEAH i
try to eat. Healthy all.

Speaker 5 (01:50:18):
RIGHT i have not confirmed it, yet so don't you.
Know i'm waiting on. Them so The broncos still on
the clock with the twentieth.

Speaker 6 (01:50:24):
Pick, Overall broncos will be followed by The Pittsburgh, steelers
then The Los Angeles, chargers and The Green Bay. Packers no,
Confirmation no confirmation.

Speaker 5 (01:50:36):
Yet i'm.

Speaker 6 (01:50:36):
Waiting suckout you.

Speaker 5 (01:50:37):
There i'm. Here what are you here? For just look,
Good i'm just. Terrible, yeah do your. Job broncos are going.

Speaker 6 (01:50:46):
To pick.

Speaker 5 (01:50:48):
All, Right, yeah it's got to be running back, here.

Speaker 6 (01:50:54):
Good, spot no, Trade this is going to be a. Pick,
okay so it's. Trading i'm going to say It's. Henderson Ok,
YEAH i like that.

Speaker 5 (01:51:00):
Pick and again the way That sean's going to be
able to use, him that that's the most exciting. Thing
and he's more explosive Like omarion is is similar, speed
but he's not as. Quick AND i think that that's
really something probably What sean kind of fell in love.

Speaker 1 (01:51:13):
WITH i.

Speaker 6 (01:51:13):
DON'T i don't Think hampton is as good a receiver
out of the backfield As henderson is.

Speaker 8 (01:51:17):
Either see that's the difference Between jenkins And Trevion henderson
That juwkins.

Speaker 6 (01:51:22):
Is good good out of the back, well he can.

Speaker 8 (01:51:25):
Go when you look at which guy isa be better
catching out of the, BACKFIELD i think more of the inside.

Speaker 5 (01:51:32):
Loan, wow it is not they are not going running.
Back they Went JOHN. A Baron.

Speaker 19 (01:51:37):
Baron.

Speaker 1 (01:51:39):
Wow, wow that's a. STUNNER i, mean great, player.

Speaker 6 (01:51:46):
But huh, YEAH i gotta say that's that's a that's a.
Surprise you.

Speaker 5 (01:51:54):
Know JOHN. A baron was a guy THAT I i
thought could go much earlier in the, draft and you,
know as we're sort of watching where he would, FALL
i liked him a lot more Than Will, johnson especially
with the. Injury but, man you were in a spot
here that you could have traded. Back you could have
taken one of these running. Back, now it doesn't mean
that they can't trade back in and get one of
the running backs.

Speaker 6 (01:52:13):
Here but here's the deal about the running, backs it's
such a, deep deep class THAT i, think, again After Ashton,
GENTY i think there were a bunch of, PEOPLE i
don't know specifically if The broncos were amongst, them that
had a group of running backs ranked pretty close to being.
Dead even, SO i think The broncos can address the
running back situation clearly in the second. Round they've got

(01:52:37):
draft capital.

Speaker 5 (01:52:40):
Four, OBVIOUSLY i mean anything sub four five in the
THE nfl you have to Be but you had sixteen
passes defense this last, year two and a half tackles for.
Loss they can obviously play him, up but he had five.
Picks that's the thing that stands out there in. Maxas,
yes he's an absolute. Playmaker consensus All American Jim thorpe ord.
WENT i, mean he's the real. Deal there's no doubt about. That,

(01:53:04):
again LIKE i, SAID i expected him to be kind
of top.

Speaker 6 (01:53:07):
Twelve top, Thirteen so the pick is in back In Green.
Bay we'll hear officially The commissioner and THE nfl.

Speaker 2 (01:53:15):
Is proud to support the life changing wishes that make
a wish.

Speaker 5 (01:53:19):
Grants, yes.

Speaker 2 (01:53:24):
One of those wishes will be coming true right. Now
sam is a seventeen year Old broncos fan who has
bravely battled.

Speaker 5 (01:53:33):
Cancer sam rais that fish by.

Speaker 2 (01:53:42):
His wish is to announce the first round draft pick
for his favorite.

Speaker 5 (01:53:46):
Team please join me in cheering On sam as his
wish comes.

Speaker 1 (01:53:50):
True taking Away, Sam.

Speaker 5 (01:53:57):
Broncos gave all. Right with the twentieth pick in the
twenty twenty FIVE Nfl, draft The Denver broncos Select Jaday
BARON dB texas.

Speaker 6 (01:54:16):
So Ja Day, Baron Jaday baron not But, day Not.
Buday that Is Tyler. Bday, yes So Jah Day baron
is the newest member of The Denver. Broncos playmaker guy
that can really. Run uh BUT i GOTTA i gotta
say a little bit of. Surprise they Love.

Speaker 7 (01:54:37):
Texas DB's i'll say, that you know, Interesting this kind
of matches up with something they said at the combine
when they're talking about the corners and maybe maybe not
super happy with their slot corner production in the in
the you, know in the past, season and when we,
LOOKED i didn't think they'd go to the defense this,
early but you, know they certainly loved their dbs out Of.

Speaker 6 (01:54:54):
Texas last week when we were.

Speaker 8 (01:54:56):
Doing our breaking down of position, groups brought something up
to you AND i, said, WELL i listened to that
presser With George baden And Sean, payton And Sean payton
was pressed like three different times about Bow. Knicks how
can you help Bow? Knicks has Bow knicks come? In
and he said it three. Times he mentioned the way
that you helped Bow knicks is on the defensive side

(01:55:18):
of the. Ball AND i said to, YOU i wondered
if they would go defense at twenty based on what
he was saying and everything he was saying before that
was kind of throwing everyone off the. Set but this
speaks to the defensive side of the. Ball sixty three
sacks last season along a franchise, Record so he just
Gave Vance joseph another.

Speaker 6 (01:55:40):
Weapon and LIKE i told, YOU.

Speaker 8 (01:55:42):
I said this to you all, Seasoned, ryan and if
The broncos went, TWENTY i told my WIFE i was
prepared to say to you, Again god darn mcgiver coming back.

Speaker 5 (01:55:51):
At you didn't allow a touchdown in twenty twenty four,
also and this is something we've seen consistently for The.
Broncos he's a team, Captain so a team captain there
In texas didn't allow a touchdown in twenty twenty. Four
like we, mentioned a Ball hawk five. Interceptions he was
The Peach bowl DEFENSIVE. MVP i mean, again he's just
he's a, playmaker and we thought the slot might be

(01:56:13):
a spot that they end up kind of.

Speaker 7 (01:56:14):
Addressing, yeah coach By, Vance joseph's cousin down here In.

Speaker 5 (01:56:17):
Texas so, that's you know something.

Speaker 7 (01:56:19):
Else broncos obviously have an affinity For texas. Dbs you
look around at some of the guys that they've got very.

Speaker 5 (01:56:25):
Quickly The steelers did not go with Shoud Or. Sanders
they Went Derek harmon defensive tackle tackle right there at twenty.
One sorry to interrupt, You So.

Speaker 6 (01:56:36):
Ben with The steelers not taking a, quarterback you mentioned
If Shador SANDERS i think have led below twenty, one
he might slide in the second.

Speaker 5 (01:56:45):
ROUND i get out of the. ROUND i would say
the next trade up target would be The Minnesota. Vikings
they have.

Speaker 7 (01:56:50):
Very little draft capital in Straft harmon has some injury.
Concerns that's going to be a fascinating thing. There but
The vikings at twenty, FOUR i believe it is the
next trade out position if you're looking for. One, again
they have very very little draft capital in this, draft
and they were desperate to get out of twenty, four
probably taking sixty seventy cents on the dollar on the
point chart to get out of there in an effort

(01:57:11):
to try to maximize or multiply their.

Speaker 5 (01:57:14):
Picks you, know we're in an age of THE nfl
where you can continue to invest in certain. Positions we
talked a ton about defensive line coming to the. Draft
of the secondary is another one of, those, RIGHT i,
mean you really can't have too many high quality defensive,
backs and of course we're talking to one here With Nick.
Ferguson but it's just what the league. Is it's a passing.
League and you THINK i would think this is more

(01:57:35):
about Ja kwan McMillan than it is anything About Riley.
MOSS i Think Riley moss continues to have a pretty big.

Speaker 6 (01:57:40):
ROLE i don't think it's about either of those.

Speaker 8 (01:57:43):
Guys, okay it is just a telltale sign of where
the league has gone over the past couple of. Years
just look at the fact That Tyler warren went to
The colts Right coas And. Lovelin he was selected as.
Well this is the world that you're living in, now
and you need dbs that can. Come sometimes you may
have to put a multitude of different. Dbs and looking

(01:58:04):
at what happened To Riley, moss if you want to
throw him into the, conversation it was the fact that
he got. Injured and when you start to look, at,
well what are the guys you have in the, secondary
you can depend.

Speaker 5 (01:58:13):
On data back to the podium and the commissioner In Green.

Speaker 2 (01:58:17):
Bay Berck steelers Select Derek harman defensive, Tackle.

Speaker 13 (01:58:22):
Oregon Derek harmon defensive line Then. Oregon six foot, five
three hundred and ten.

Speaker 5 (01:58:30):
Pounds dan chucked in no running. Room Derek harmon clows
up the hall and It's oregon.

Speaker 19 (01:58:36):
Football when this ball came, Out harmon comes away with,
it ripped it.

Speaker 13 (01:58:41):
Away after being a two year starter At Michigan, State
Derek harmon Joined oregon's defensive line in twenty twenty four
and finished the season as a second TEAM Apl American
harmon can provide an imposing horse to the middle.

Speaker 1 (01:58:53):
Of ANY nfl defensive. Line, well he may not get
to the quarterback.

Speaker 13 (01:58:57):
Much harmon's impact comes in creating track and swarming the
pocket with agility and tough N, So Derrek.

Speaker 6 (01:59:07):
Carmon goes to The Pittsburgh steelers with the twenty first overall.
Selection just in front of, That Denver broncos kept their
kept their pick at number twenty And John Da baron
the corner who will play nickel corner more than likely
for The university Of texas now A Denver. Bronco THE

(01:59:31):
La chargers are on the clocket picked number twenty, two
followed by The packers and The. Vikings it strikes me
And ryan you made the point About baron being one
of the team. Captains it strikes me that When Sean
payton first took this, job he talked about and so
Did Greg, pinner by the, way the owner of The,
broncos talked about changing the culture of the franchise and

(01:59:52):
wanting to find players who love. Football. Right you're, Right
Sean payton's not a guy that suffers. Fools he's not
a guy that wants to spend a lot of time
motivat you, know players he didn't doesn't think he, had
you should have to do, that AND i would. Agree
and so if you look at these draft choices With
George peyton And Sean payton Since sean took, OVER i
think you will find high character guys that love. Ball

(02:00:16):
they're not, Divas they're good locker room. Guys they've been
leaders of their respective you, know college football teams in some.
CAPACITY i don't think that's. UH i, MEAN i think
that's done by.

Speaker 5 (02:00:28):
Design AND i also think that the pick of a defensive,
back Specifically, baron versus taking a running back is a
little bit telling. Too maybe The broncos When George payton
said multiple times we love the running back, depth we
can look at this thing two through five and think
we're gonna find one of these. Guys, now some of,
us including, myself, said, WELL i don't know if you
really mean that or if you're just saying. That so

(02:00:50):
we'll take the. Baits but maybe this is that indication
where they take a look at and they say this
guy is top on our, board and we said we
set the goal d like they're really big on their.
Board they do a lot of work putting that thing.
Together they, Say JOHN. A Bro barron was expected to
go much. Earlier they took him where they, did and
then now they're feeling like they're in a good position
to take one of these running backs.

Speaker 8 (02:01:09):
Later it's all about creating turnovers and making the most
out of those. Turnovers and for, ME i go back
to The cleveland game Watching Nick benito come off the,
edge Pickoff Jamis winston and race for a.

Speaker 6 (02:01:23):
Touchdown that was a. Game If i'm not.

Speaker 8 (02:01:25):
Mistaking The broncos head two or three interceptions in that particular,
game and.

Speaker 6 (02:01:29):
That's how you impact the game right. Away sean knows
this from his so many years in his. Career then
playing in THAT.

Speaker 8 (02:01:37):
Nfc south is, that, yeah you want to be able
to score, points but what's come down to is being
able to take away points in possessions from your opponent
and looking at the defense like That davids. Symbol based
on additions and free agency and With baron adding him to,
me The broncos are trying to make a. Run they're

(02:01:58):
looking at that last year's lost To buffalo and they, said,
well how can we make our team much? Better they
were pushed, around they were out Physical this gives them
an opportunity to really compete in THE.

Speaker 6 (02:02:08):
AFC i think.

Speaker 5 (02:02:10):
It's a it's a fascinating. Pick you, know certainly nobody
saw that when. Coming, nobody nobody locally had. That, yeah
what about your envelope, Here, BEN i MEAN i already
already a secret over. Though, yeah you already know who it.
Is we can do that on camera here a little.
Bit there's still a CHANCE i can Get Trevion. HENDERSON
i wouldn't be surprised if that still was the.

Speaker 7 (02:02:27):
Case obviously they need a running, back and that's gonna
be the question now is just, said what do you?
WANT i, Mean hampton And henderson are still, There they're
still out, there both those. Guys maybe maybe what of
them slides off into the second, Round maybe you have.

Speaker 6 (02:02:39):
A chance to do.

Speaker 7 (02:02:40):
THAT i think The broncos defense all of a, SUDDEN
i MEAN i was already already. Good like they're really
about making sure they're able to shut everything, down you, know,
defensively and go from.

Speaker 6 (02:02:50):
THERE i think also it's been pretty clear that Sint
Sean payton got. Here The Kansas City chiefs have been
in the sites of The. BRONCOS i mean he's just
come out and set. It and if you're going to
Be Kansas, city the two THINGS i mean from a
defensive standpoint that you absolutely have to. Have you have
to have an ability to pressure the quarterback and not

(02:03:13):
necessarily blitz to do. So and you gotta have the
ability athletically to cover.

Speaker 8 (02:03:18):
Guys here's WHAT i think we're going to see The
broncos run more. Of last year ran a bunch of different.
Coverages they ran kind of you, know match. Coverage but
based on this pick and the additions that they made an,
OFFSEASON i can see this team possibly running more man
coverage then they run over the past two years because
now you got guys who can man up across the.
BOARD i, mean think About Roley, moss say whatever you

(02:03:40):
want to say about, him and that That INGOs. Game
he's going to be better in year, two even THOUGH
i mean technically this is year three for. HIM i
don't count the first year because he was. Injured but
now you can be a little more. Aggressive and when
you think About hufunga and you think about you, Know Baron,
Jones we're going to see more pressure from those guys
from the second level two as.

Speaker 6 (02:04:00):
WELL i think also it should be Mentioned, ryan you had,
SAID i think About jakwon. McMillan i think the feeling
is he didn't have the kind of year last year
that he had the previous. Year, now you, know players
can disagree with, that BUT i think from the this

(02:04:22):
is this is my take on. This from the organization,
STANDPOINT i don't think they looked at the kind of
Year jaquon had last year and, said, yep that's exactly
what we. Wanted in, fact it was better than it
was the year, before not the.

Speaker 5 (02:04:35):
Case, see And i'm glad you brought that up because
we were out of the. Combine and, indeed REMEMBER i
told you one of the CONVERSATIONS i got into with
somebody out there was keep an eye on, slot keep
an eye on. Jque it's not to say that he's out,
here but they saw the same, thing especially towards the
tail end of the. Season and once, again you, know
in your position here in the first, round and we

(02:04:56):
See John elway do this for, years but we see
a lot of teams do, this especially The. Eagles drafting on,
strength you already consider to have one of the best
secondaries in THE. Nfl you have one of the best
defenses in THE. Nfl, Again i'm seeing a lot of
reaction For broncos fans On twitter and, otherwise and they're
a little surprised by this because everything seemed to fall
into place to take one of these running. Backs but
the fact is, is, again this is the guy that

(02:05:17):
would not be there for many more, picks and they're
drafting on. Strength that's why they did.

Speaker 6 (02:05:21):
This you, know this reminds me of let's go back
a couple of.

Speaker 8 (02:05:23):
Years remember when The broncos were in need of quarterback
And Justin fields was coming out And George payton, decided
you know, What i'm not going to take a.

Speaker 6 (02:05:32):
Quarterback i'm gonna Go patch Or tannam and go.

Speaker 8 (02:05:34):
Defense And broncos country they were, in they had a
fit about going taking that pick because they didn't go
and get a.

Speaker 6 (02:05:42):
Quarterback but to, me it's ticking to that.

Speaker 8 (02:05:45):
Mindset you know what side your bread is buttered, on
it's the defensive side of the, ball and the idea
is we're going to bring balance with the offense by
helping out our. DEFENSE i think that's kind of that the,
mindset and it goes back once. Again comby Ka lee
looking at What philly was able to do defensively Against Kansas.

Speaker 7 (02:06:04):
CITY, I george And, sean we're clear about it. TOO
i mean you go back and you think about it
through this lens now with the benefit of. Hindsight and
they said it to the presser the best things you
could do for a, quarterback the best things you can
do said about with a run.

Speaker 6 (02:06:15):
Game of the.

Speaker 5 (02:06:15):
Defense but they continue to add to the.

Speaker 6 (02:06:17):
Defense let me ask you a, question excuse, me AND
i don't have the answer to. It when's the last
time we've seen AN nfl draft that through pick And
i'm going to assume The chargers are not going to
take a, Quarterback so through pick number twenty two in
the first, round we've seen one.

Speaker 5 (02:06:36):
QUARTERBACK i think that would be THE Ej Manual. Draft
wouldn't were The bills TO Dj manuel by the, Way
chargers just to Took amari And?

Speaker 7 (02:06:43):
Hampton, okay all, RIGHT i mean that sort of makes.
SENSE i mean, that you, know with horriball that makes.

Speaker 5 (02:06:50):
Sense SO Ej manuel THE Ej manual. Drafteen, YEAH i
think that was the one because Didn't gino go in
the second in that it was the second round. PICK
i think that's the one before that you would have.

Speaker 7 (02:07:04):
Had, now two quarterbacks went in The tebow, draft But tebow,
was you know. Later i'm trying to think of what
else was That The Sam Bradford. DRAFT i remember remember that?
Draft Sam? Bradford was there? Another was there a second?
QUARTERBACK i Remember Sam. Bradford, YEAH i don't. Remember and
when the guys were taking to the first twenty two.
Picks so we're reporting that The chargers are going to

(02:07:26):
take a Maria On, hampton running back out Of North.
Carolina so the top, OH i shouldn't let me. Stop
maybe not the top two running.

Speaker 6 (02:07:35):
Backs Ashton genty the top running back The bronco fans
will see twice a year because he got drafted by The.
Raiders amara And hampton thought to be certainly a really
good player In North. Carolina you'll see him twice a year,
too because he just was picked by The Los Angeles.

Speaker 5 (02:07:51):
Chargers it's a great pick for. Them they did not
bring BACK. Jk, dobbins who thought running, back maybe even
tight end If Colson loveland had slipped that. Fall we
talked about defensive line With Kenneth. Grant this this also
kind of feels, like, hey it's a position of, need
maybe one of their top guys on our, board and
he's a three down. Back that's that's what he. IS
O Marion hampton is a three down, back AND i,

(02:08:12):
THINK i, again it's a good.

Speaker 6 (02:08:13):
DEAL i will be shocked if by the end of
tomorrow The broncos don't have at least one running back
in the.

Speaker 5 (02:08:22):
DRAFT i would agree with. THAT i would.

Speaker 8 (02:08:24):
Agree how about they pick at second round fifty first,
pick so they were here's WHAT i want to get
junkins there about this draft so, far because you said
they there's only been one quarterback taken off the, board
and every single year the conversation is dominated about what's
three or four quarterbacks are going to be taking.

Speaker 2 (02:08:42):
To pick in the twenty twenty FIVE nfl. Drafts So
Los Angeles chargers select O maria And hampton.

Speaker 5 (02:08:51):
Running Back North. Carolina so The broncos needed a running,
back go get a.

Speaker 7 (02:09:00):
Cornerback, MEANWHILE Afc west is loading up on running backs
for The chargers Taking hampton and now you're gonna have
to Face Ash chancey with The raiders as. Well sort
of fascinating that the rest of the league is the
rest of the division is picking up running backs right.

Speaker 8 (02:09:12):
Now it's almost like a reverse of fortunes because, before
LIKE i, said everything was about the. Quarterback now we
have two running backs taken in the first, round and
that was kind of an orthodox, decision like the idea
of TODAY'S nfl you don't take a running back in
the first.

Speaker 6 (02:09:30):
Round So, ben because you sort of think along these,
lines when's the last draft that we've seen two running
backs taken in the first round before two?

Speaker 5 (02:09:42):
Quarterbacks that would prey all the way back When Ronnie, Brown,
Cadillac williams and who's the third running back in that
one not, Drown who's the one The bears took When?
Brown and When brown went to The, Dolphins cadillac went
To tampa and The bears take a running back there,
too the big guy To.

Speaker 6 (02:09:59):
Texas, Uh? Cedric, Yeah, BENSON i think.

Speaker 7 (02:10:03):
That would be the first time the last time you
saw more than multiple running backs go before two.

Speaker 6 (02:10:06):
Quarterbacks what what your what draft was?

Speaker 5 (02:10:09):
That Oh man five six somewhere there for.

Speaker 6 (02:10:13):
Care the fact that you would come up with that
is that a bit worrisome to, me but but well.
Done So amari And. Hampton here's WHAT i don't. Understand
and and you know, What, Jim Jim harbo is getting
paid millions of dollars to understand this. Question do you
think of last year The chargers and the running? Back
AND i know he got hurt a little, bit he

(02:10:34):
got banged up a little, Bit but to spend a
say that, again we have We oh we?

Speaker 4 (02:10:41):
Do?

Speaker 6 (02:10:41):
Okay, uh why Don't why don't we head Down i'm
assuming we're heading down To, Austin texas and talk with

FOR i like that versatility speaks to something Best joseph
looks for. Too we've seen what he when he was
a head. Coacher we saw him as a defensive coordon down.

There arizona loves those versatile guys that can move around
in the secondary and give him to allow him to
give different.

Speaker 8 (02:16:15):
Looks but this is where players can add value both
on and off the, field because this organization historically has
done a great job in bringing in high character, guys
but also guys who are involved in the. Community and
you can listen to him talk about the hardships his,
mom what she gave, up what she. Sacrificed right now

Speaker 6 (02:18:06):
Life so.

Speaker 5 (02:18:08):
What a tremendous answer there From Jade baron as he
had joined us live here From Park Broncos park powered
By Common spirit for the twenty twenty FIVE Nfl. Draft
we're going to hear From Sean payton And George payton
coming up here in just a little. Bit we're gonna
hear From Rick lewis as, well and get his reaction
to the selection of a, cornerback AND i believe the

(02:18:29):
best corner outside Of Travis hunter in the Draft Benjamin,
Albright Ryan, Edwards Nick ferguson with you, again you, know
really quick, here, fellas and we got to take another
quick break because we kind of went a little bit
long there to get The broncos pick and then talk To.
BARN a lot Of broncos FANS i think a little
confused by this. Pick Ben why do you think it
was the selection they ultimately went. WITH i think that

(02:18:49):
was the best player. AVAILABLE i think they had a
limited number of purple, stickers you, know top, tier blue
chip type.

Speaker 7 (02:18:55):
Players baron was one of. Them you, know a lot
of people are asking why Not Will. Johnson Will johnson's
got any? Issues that's why he's probably not even gonna
be drafted in the first. Round AND i certainly didn't
have my mock draft in the first. Round But barrely
is a guy that they had a high rate on
and probably didn't think he was gonna get. There there
were quite there were a couple of, teams you, know
in the teams there where you kind of, thought, okay
corner corner could be.

Speaker 5 (02:19:15):
One, miami especially sort of be in that you, know
be in that. Spot and so you, KNOW i.

Speaker 7 (02:19:21):
Think, YOU i think you look at this thing AND
i think you, Say, okay they went best player, available
AND i think THERE'S i think there's something to. THAT i,
mean you you draft good, players you wind up having
a good. Team, right whether or not it's perceived need or,
whatever this is a deep running back. CLASS i think
they look at this and, said, well there's no other
corner in here we view as a. Starter we'd View
barren as a. Starter we could put him in the

(02:19:41):
slot right. Away we we upgrade, there and this allows
us to keep in line as we look for the
running back. Position we've got a set of grades that
we feel is within those. Parameters we can go get those.
Guys AND i think that's that's the thought process.

Speaker 8 (02:19:54):
HERE i think the game plan came down to a
couple of simple. Things you, Say, okay, well how can
you help Out?

Speaker 5 (02:20:01):
John trade back in really quick because wanted you, know
giants just trade with The vikings at twenty, four go for.

Speaker 6 (02:20:06):
IT i wonder if they're trading for a.

Speaker 5 (02:20:07):
Quarterback feels like they. Are by the Way Matthew golden
went to The packers finally a wide receiver traded in
with The. Vikings, yeah that's WHAT i just got an alert. On,
okay it's just traded back. In The vikings were looking
at the GUARD i mean they wanted out twenty. Five
they traded with The. Texans, okay, alright, apologies, apologies they
probably with The.

Speaker 8 (02:20:20):
Texans, well this whole move For, Barron for, me it
speaks to the trend of THE nfl and wanting to
get better on the defensive side of the, ball but
also make sure that you have adequate depth just in
case that you move on.

Speaker 6 (02:20:34):
From some guys in the. Secondary and for, me this
now gives The broncos potentially one of the better defensive
units in this.

Speaker 8 (02:20:44):
Draft and when you look at projecting for Boat knicks
down the, road you still have a lot of value.

Speaker 5 (02:20:49):
Defensively, There Thoughtova jackson From Ohio State Interior Offensive. Lineman
he went to The vikings, there The giants are now
in the clock picked twenty. Five will give you that
pick when we come. Back Henway's Bronco broncos radio network

coach there that somebody that actually truly loves his players
and he loves his. Craft he's always putting his players
to be in the best.

Speaker 5 (02:21:51):
Position that was the Newest Denver broncos selection Of Jade
baron joining us. Earlier we'll get the interview up A
kway Color. Com welcome back To Broncos, park power By
Common spear for the twenty twenty FIVE Nfl. Draft we're
gonna have the, Coach Sean payton as well As George
payton speaking with the media here in just a little.

(02:22:11):
Bit as the first round wraps, up we got a
trade that happened just a little bitgo The giants trade
back into the first round For. Jackson dart will tell
you more about that in just a, Moment but right
now we're gonna have to The Kiowa Common Spirit health
hotline and bring on color analysts for Your Denver Broncos Rick, Lewis,
rick my, friend what'd you think about the? Pick?

Speaker 19 (02:22:29):
Man, hey, guys you're doing a great. Job by the,
WAY i THINK i was as surprised as. ANYBODY i
thought going into this The broncos would take either a
running back or a wide. RECEIVER i thought they focus on.
Offense we talk about this all the, time how they
need to give some more weapons to Bow. Nicks, well,

(02:22:50):
man WAS i. WRONG i didn't see this pick. Coming
although the way you explained, It, BEN i do think
it looks like they took the best available player. There
he's a heck of a football, player AND i could
tell by looking at social. Media broncos fans not too
happy with the, pick but they should know that this

(02:23:11):
is a really good football. Player he's very, versatile.

Speaker 6 (02:23:14):
Got a big.

Speaker 19 (02:23:15):
Motor he's great against the. Run AS i, said he's
a good, tackler and the guy can play every position
in the defensive, backfield so he could even play. SAFETY
i think if you wanted them to play. There so
they got a really good, player AND i think they
must feel like they can get their running back in

(02:23:37):
round two or even round, three and there's certainly going
to be plenty of good ones available in those next two.

Speaker 6 (02:23:43):
Rounds, yeah that there.

Speaker 5 (02:23:46):
ARE i think this is just a best player available case.
HERE i think this is just a straight.

Speaker 7 (02:23:51):
Up they had a very high grade on, him AND
i think he just fell in the.

Speaker 5 (02:23:55):
LAP i don't think they expected that to be the.

Speaker 7 (02:23:56):
Thing you look at what they've said, before but the
slot position maybe want to upgrade, there and sure enough
they got the opportunity to do.

Speaker 5 (02:24:03):
That like you, mentioned he's versus we can move.

Speaker 7 (02:24:05):
Around we though HAVE Vss joseph values that he was
coached By Vas joseph's cousin there At.

Speaker 5 (02:24:09):
Texas you know that there's certainly a pipeline.

Speaker 7 (02:24:11):
There so you know the, interview you could tell he's
a sharp, guy AND i think all those things add
up to, say, hey, look you, know if you're not
going to you're going to continue to add to this
defense and we're going to make sure people can't score on,
us and then we're going to continue to grow this,
offense maybe with some later picks and and guys That
Sean payton personally.

Speaker 19 (02:24:29):
Picks, yeah they're loading up on, defense certainly with Green,
Law funga and Now, baron which is. Great the defense
was pretty damn good last. Year it's going to be
even better this year with the addition of. Him and
when it comes to running, backs it's a really cheap
running back. Class we all thought it was going to

(02:24:51):
Be hampton Or. HENDERSON i really Liked henderson the MORE
i watched tape on. Him but you look at guys
LIKE dj from K, State Devin neil From, kansas maybe
Even Cam scattaboo in the third. Round these guys are
all pretty high value, PICKS i think third and fourth.
Round And i'm sure they know what they're. Doing you

(02:25:15):
got to trust the, process you, know The peyton And
peyton then these guys have been good the last couple of,
years And i'm excited about the player they. Got let's
see if they can get the running back and AND
i do think they still need a wide receiver at
some point as.

Speaker 8 (02:25:29):
Well, rick what do you think a pick like this
says about the two guys you just spoke about As
Sean payton And George peyton being on the same page
to kind of make this particular. Move and the REASON
i say that BECAUSE i remember a couple of years
ago When george first got the job and The broncos
were devoid of a, quarterback he decided to go off

(02:25:52):
script and drab Patser Tan and to, me it seems
as though he's doubling down on that, again even THOUGH
i know you have Bow. Knicks but no one anticipated
this particular move Because Broncos Country run wanted the running,
back but he decided to go on the defensive side
of the.

Speaker 6 (02:26:08):
Ball what does that say about the mentality of these two.

Speaker 19 (02:26:10):
Men, well maybe they believe defense wins. Championships you, know
they used to say that in The National Football, league
and then the league pivoted to you, know scoring a
lot of points and you, know quarterbacks just throwing the
ball all over the. Field maybe they're going to start
leaning on that. DEFENSE i certainly think they need to

(02:26:33):
put some weapons around Bone nicks and we'll see what
they do here with the rest of their draft. Picks
but you, KNOW i Think Broncos country should know that
a lot of people Had John Ay, barron a high
first round. Pick and so the surprise is nobody In

(02:26:53):
broncos country saw this. Coming nobody THAT i knew of. Anyway,
so AS i said, before they got a really good football.
Player you wonder what they'll do with, them you, know
With Riley, Moss jakwan, McMillan as you guys talked, about
had a down, year which was a disappointment because he
was pretty darn good the year. Before maybe you'll see

(02:27:16):
him in the. Nickel but one of the best things about.

Speaker 6 (02:27:19):
This kid is his.

Speaker 19 (02:27:19):
Versatility and in that interview, Too, MATT i was really
impressed with. Him you could tell he's got great perspective on,
life very mature, sounding and he loves his. Mama he
made that very, clear and that's a good. Thing SO
i like this, kid.

Speaker 6 (02:27:35):

Speaker 5 (02:29:24):
Hi great stuff there From Color Analyst Rick lewis will
check back in with him in a little. While Broncos
park powered By Common spirit is where we're at for
the entirety of THE Nfl, draft The broncos Selecting Jade
baron a little bit, earlier as you heard some sound from.
Him we'll get the interview Up kwacolorado dot. Com we
vice to subscribe to THE Kai sports podcast on the

(02:29:44):
completely totally Awesome iHeartRadio App Ryan, Edwards benjamin All, Bright Nick.
Ferguson we're on until eleven o'clock. Tonight we're going to
hear from the coach and THE Gm Sean, Payton George
payton here in just a little, bit catching you up
on the. Picks AS i mentioned right before before going
to break AND i want to get you a good
reaction to This Jackson. Dart The giants did trade back

(02:30:05):
into the first, round As ben and you've been reporting
that they were wanting. To they did not Take Shador.
Sanders they Took Jackson. Dart that's who we, figured you.

Speaker 7 (02:30:15):
Know, again LIKE i, said the shoot door, thing if
he didn't get taken by The, steelers the slide to
the second round was probably was probably a lot at that.
POINT i would suggest that The raiders have the opportunity,
there you, know to take a look at, that and
and then you start to. WONDER i really firmly do
not believe it will Be New, orleans And i'm you,
know maybe The, browns you, know but it's AGAIN I.

Speaker 5 (02:30:40):
I that looks.

Speaker 7 (02:30:41):
Rough there's a potential That Jalen milroe could go before
him at this. Point that would be, ridiculous pretty wild.
Ridiculous that would.

Speaker 8 (02:30:49):
Be that would be, Ridiculous and it would say a
lot about the draft process within, itself because the WAY
i look at, it for, me it's no longer about
best player available or evaluating players or you, know breaking
them down based on their ability to play the. Game
it will kind of stroll over into something entirely. Different

(02:31:10):
NOW i hope that's not the. Case where we heard
before the draft took place that it had something to
do with his father and, thinking, okay well if you
draft your, door essentially bringing on his. Father but for,
me the WAY i look at, IT i would say
for a lot of those anonymous scouts or teams that
were fearful of, that that would say that those teams

(02:31:31):
were very cowie in my, mind because you have to
be able to look another man in his eyes and
give him the full truth about why you decided not
to take him and taking a path or saying well
it was because well you, know.

Speaker 6 (02:31:44):
You, know if we're drafting, you we're drafting your. Father to,
me that's a coward's way, out all.

Speaker 5 (02:31:49):
Right Malachi starks is going to go to The Baltimore. Ravens,
here let's go to the podium and listen To Roger.

Speaker 2 (02:31:53):
Goodell with the twenty seventh pick in the twenty FIVE
Nfl draft to, More ravens Select Malachi starts defensive Back.

Speaker 13 (02:32:05):
Georgia Malachi starks Safety georgia sixte hundred and ninety seven.

Speaker 1 (02:32:13):
Pounds Club Nick let's it Go deep.

Speaker 13 (02:32:18):
Is finnish sifting The American Malachai, Starts georgia's. Safety Malachi
starts college career began with a national championship in twenty
twenty two and a consensus first Team All american selection
after his sophomore. Campaign he finished his college career with
six interceptions and seventeen pass. Breakups starts that open eyes

(02:32:40):
at the, combine recording the top speed amongst safeties in
five different.

Speaker 5 (02:32:44):
Drifts LIKE i kind of want to be angry that
The ravens keep doing. This they keep they keep getting
away with, This like LIKE i, starks going to The
ravens isn't fair With Hamilton, paris With, hamilton you got To,
yeah you get to the two fastest safty in the. League,
starts of, course a high character. Guy baltimore loves that.

Speaker 7 (02:33:04):
Pick, yeah it's just you, Know ossie's somewhere smiling right
now from you, know from the.

Speaker 8 (02:33:08):
Couch for me being a football, fan this is a
perfect pick for The Baltimore ravens because he fits well
with their team attitude and it's, like we're gonna punch
you in the, face not literally but figuratively. Speaking and
when you look at the guy who was a leader
of That georgia, defense and when you talk about being
an aggressive tree hugger or aggressive, tackler.

Speaker 6 (02:33:29):
He was definitely one of those.

Speaker 8 (02:33:30):
Guys he's a guy THAT i would have loved to
play with both in college and the, pros BECAUSE i
would have been able to look and, say, well which
one of us are going to get the flag? First
at that type of tone setter And Baltimore, ravens that's
all they've been in the franchise, history just a bunch
of tone. Setters and you, say, well you missed mixed
up start With. HAMILTON i mean that's a combination of

(02:33:52):
duo in that back.

Speaker 5 (02:33:54):
End if you want to interact with the program of
your five six Six things zeros OR, ka we commis
Sparate health text. Line we'd love to hear you your
thoughts on The broncos Selecting Jade. Baron, again we're gonna
hear From George Peyton Sean payton in just a little.
Bit The Detroit lions are on the clock here as
we are flying through the first round of the twenty
twenty FIVE Nfl. Draft they're pick twenty, eight and once

(02:34:15):
again there's still some teams out there that might consider
trading up. Here ben if they want to to maybe
take a look one of a couple of these other.
Quarterbacks although it sounded like you think Maybe Tyler shuck
is the next guy and they don't have to take him. Here,
WELL i don't know if he's the next.

Speaker 7 (02:34:28):
Guy Mil Rose sugar are both guys that are. There
sanders obviously. THERE i Think sugar is the guy for The,
saints AND i don't think they need to trade up for.
Him as you look at some of these other you
Got detroit that's coming. Up you Got washington coming. Up
if you're still on The Trevon henderson, train you Got
washington And Kansas city coming. Up you need to watch
both of those two For Travon. Henderson buffalo coming, Up
James cook holding, out that might be another running back.

(02:34:48):
SPOT i Know buffalo would like to get out of that,
Pick so if you're trying to trade, up that'd be
a spot to get.

Speaker 5 (02:34:52):
Into all, right five six six ninion zero list to
here some of the reaction on. This the thing With
sanders is he doesn't come off like he really loves.
FOOTBALL i think he could take it or leave. It
and that's the read that all these teams are getting on.
HIM i don't know about. THAT i understand maybe that
there's a little bit of a swagger thing to, him

(02:35:12):
and it seems like maybe the. BRAND i guess that's
maybe the. Conversation but, again You're sanders first of, all and,
secondly you're one of the best quarterbacks in the country
who just threw passes to The heisman. WINNER i don't.

Speaker 6 (02:35:24):
KNOW i have a problem with anyone suggesting.

Speaker 8 (02:35:27):
That, okay because the REASON i have a problem with
it because when you draft the, player but more importantly
at the quarterback, position oftentimes we hear certain character drivers
what that guy has. Moxie so when you look At Shador,
sanders is there a problem with one of the talent
evaluators and interviews where he is seem to be a
little more confident in his? Ability to me is, like

(02:35:50):
how do you criticize and ostracize one guy for showing
that characteristic that is key to play in the quarterback,
position but then if another guy does coming to the
league with, that that's.

Speaker 6 (02:36:01):
Problematic so explain. That explain it to, me BECAUSE i
really don't.

Speaker 8 (02:36:05):
Understand because you want your, quarterback especially the young, quarterback
you're taking it in the first round you want him
to be able to come in and command that.

Speaker 6 (02:36:11):
Uddle once, again you're.

Speaker 8 (02:36:12):
Dealing with guys with, mortgages, right they had, wives some
of them have wive and a. Girlfriend but you know
you have to be able to come in and manage
those particular. Guys, Answer Doris sanders has shown constantly that
he has that ability to do.

Speaker 5 (02:36:28):
So Tyler williams is going to go, here which is
a good pick there for The Detroit. LIONS i thought
they'd go defensive line Ed. Rusher, yeah so that that
makes a lot of sense there for The Detroit. Lions
another text here and, LISTEN i think what you said
is absolutely. RIGHT i do think that's a little bit
aggressive to your perception of his. Personality that's nothing we've
heard from anybody ever talking about. Him but though the

(02:36:51):
entitled point does come up some.

Speaker 6 (02:36:53):
Time, Okay so the idea is that.

Speaker 8 (02:36:55):
We see a lot of players And i'm talking about
my stuff BECAUSE i was there.

Speaker 6 (02:36:59):
TOO i didn't grow up with a lot of.

Speaker 8 (02:37:00):
Money but the idea is to catch a young player
who is so desperate and eager and thirsty to be
in league that he's willing to accept and embrace almost.
Anything and we can't Criticize Shador sanders for growing up
the way that he grew up with A hall Of fame.
Father anyone doing, that to, me that's blasphemy and that's
wrong if you see.

Speaker 6 (02:37:19):
That happen a.

Speaker 7 (02:37:19):
Lot BUT i don't think it's the fact that he's
A hall Of fame. FATHER i think it's he has
a public, figure hall Of fame. Father and there Are
i'm not saying that this is the, right But i've
had it explain to me and that there are guys
that are nervous about the fact that he's got one
of the biggest microphones on the. Planet and if you're
having an off day and you're quite you, know and
this guy's going to go on McAfee and on the
end of AND i had his podcast and HIS tv
outlet and in His twitter that have eight millions of, Followings.

Speaker 8 (02:37:42):
And that can happen at any that can happen with
any player on any single, Team because it's.

Speaker 7 (02:37:46):
Way different If Jackson dart's dad has a problem with
what happened in the game plan that If Deon sanders,
does and you know, That but.

Speaker 6 (02:37:51):
That means that these, individuals in my, opinions they're not.

Speaker 2 (02:37:53):
Confident draft The Detroit lions like Ty league him defensive tackle.

Speaker 5 (02:38:02):
Sat drop drop a bad word, There that's. Great, Yeah
i'd be all Like Tyler williams is a good defensive
Tackle Ohio. State it's you know you did you go
to those schools we we talked about With georgia In,

(02:38:23):
alabama but more Specifically Ohio state defensive tackles have been
just good there for a long. Time we got four
picks left in the first. ROUND a couple more reaction
here on THE Kwa Commons Spary health text line five
six six nine. Zero and again we're gonna hear From
George payton And Sean payton in their post first round.
Reaction this, one, uh back to. BACK i gotta love.
This super disappointed in the. Pick nothing against the, player

(02:38:44):
but was not a position of need and our rivals
got the top running backs very next. One, uh this
young man sounds like a steal and his personality should
get along great With patser Tan. Uh if we were
to move up and Get henderson or another offensive, weapon
what would that look like? Like any chance we can
or decide to move to a pick in the first
round or early second? ROUND i mean certainly on that last. One,

(02:39:07):
YEAH i, mean of, COURSE i think that's just what
you're always you're always looking. For that's why you do
the pre draft. Process that's why you make all those phone.
Calls you find out what's the price on all of. It, so,
hey we're gonna stick a, Twenty we're gonna take a.
Player we're gonna go best player. Available and that's ultimately
WHAT i think they. DID i love the. Pick then
you go and you, say, okay when we did our

(02:39:27):
pre draft, conversations we checked in with all these teams
at the back end of the, draft With washington And
buffalo And Kansas city maybe as well as The, eagles and, said,
okay well it's gonna take the trade up from fifty
one to get a player if we like. Them and
you know that to see the.

Speaker 8 (02:39:42):
Text that you're, receiving and if some of the, responses
especially negative, responses tell me that most of these fans
they don't see Big, pitcher, right they just see. That
they look at it like their fantasy football. Team yeah
here's what we. Wanted now they kicking a screaming like
they didn't get what they want On, christmas, right understanding
it takes a lot to build a, team and you
have to make decisions and withdraw all the emotion out of.

(02:40:04):
It and that's WHERE i look at this move that
The broncos are.

Speaker 5 (02:40:07):
Made with all due respect to j Quimt, million he
gave up four hundred and thirty six yards after the
catch last, Year with all due respect to, him they
had to upgrade the slot corner position and they did.

Speaker 8 (02:40:16):
Well Let me let me tell, YOU i, know you
start with all due, respect and usually when someone started,
respect he's wist the one says that what comes after
is not a great. Thing And i've, HEARD i, mean
you've said some things About jakuan mcmollan and playing that slot,
position AND i know other members In broncos countries you
don't feel that. Way and for, me that's a hard

(02:40:39):
position to. Play we talk about quarterback being a hard
position to, Play, jim and let me tell, you when
you're playing in that slot and that guy has a
two way go and you're basically like a wheel, linebacker
you have to be great in. Coverage you also have
to be great as far as reading run. Fits that
is not an easy. Job that's a grown man. Position
so to sit here and say, Well jaquan McMillan gave

(02:41:00):
up some. Yards, yes you played that, position you're going
to give up some. YARDS i don't think it was
that awful where we say well this move Bringing baron,
in now that Puts yakwa McMillan somewhat on the. Outs,
no it just adds value to what the defense is
as a, whole and it just adds.

Speaker 5 (02:41:17):
DEPTH i think that's a perfectly said. Thing and he's Not,
yeah he's not, out he's just but if you're, thinking
like day, one who's starting for, you you'd like to
See baron out. There but, again you draft on. Strength
and this is my, opinion and we even said this
coming into the draft if they were going to consider
defensive line there where people are, like, look you just
brought BACK Dj jones and you know you'd really like

(02:41:39):
to maybe EXTEND jfm or maybe and you're obviously definitely
going to Extend Zach. Allen why would you take a
defensive Lineman because you, do you take a rotational, position
you can always have more depth. There and we said
it right when the pick came in and, said adding
to the secondary right now is what THE nfl is
it's a passing. League you can always have more dogs.

Speaker 6 (02:41:59):
Back, there it.

Speaker 8 (02:42:00):
Is and, understanding, well The Broncos Paige Jonathan, cooper now
we're waiting to see what's gonna happen With Nick benito
and coverage and pass. Rush they go hand in hand
like soaking, water, right they go hand in. Hand and
this gives The broncos an opportunity to just kind of
get better in so many. Areas and And Mi Sean
payton being A Bill parcells guy and me playing For

(02:42:22):
Bill Parcells parceales.

Speaker 6 (02:42:24):
Was huge on.

Speaker 8 (02:42:25):
Competition you want to make sure that no one falls
asleep at the world and things though my job is.
Safe so if you, say, well this is a wake
up call For jaquan, McMillan, right it just wake up.

Speaker 6 (02:42:36):
CALL i mean the die had. Mccash yet you still
have to go out there and.

Speaker 8 (02:42:40):
Play but, still this is gonna bring some, competition not
just for the two, players but me thinking big picture
for the offensive side of the ball as, well because
think about the wide receivers who are gonna have to
compete against those guys every single day in.

Speaker 7 (02:42:52):
Practice, YEAH i, think you, KNOW i think just tick
makes the team, Better LIKE i always, say if you
know you.

Speaker 5 (02:42:58):
Draft, draft good players are gonna.

Speaker 7 (02:42:59):
Mess aroun a good, team, right is it The is
it the the sexy player that you're gonna feed the
ball to And?

Speaker 5 (02:43:06):
Madden you, know, no but it. Is it is a very,
good a very solid. Player it does upgrade the.

Speaker 7 (02:43:12):
Team when you AND i did our corner bigs my number,
TWO i think he was your numer two as. WELL
i can't remember if you, yeah he's our number two
corner when we did our home papers right, Here, Yes
baron was our number.

Speaker 5 (02:43:21):
Two, corner you, know Behind Travis. Hunter so SO i,
mean like you, KNOW i think you, Know i'm Not
i'm not disappointed to. PICK i MEAN i have a
personal level of disappointment and not figuring it, out you,
know as far as that stuff. Goes but that's that's
beside the. Point like as far as the fan base,
GOES i.

Speaker 7 (02:43:37):
Think you should be excited ABOUT i, think AND i
think by the time people wake, up they will. BE
i think there's some people that right, now again you
know you wanted the skill position, player but give it,
time you know that they'll come.

Speaker 5 (02:43:46):
Around there's a lot Of denver media that are crapping
on it right. Now SO i think that's one of
the reasons why the reaction has been what it. IS
i would never do that here on the. Air, besides
does anybody listen to them, Anyways we're gonna Hear, washington
they're gonna Take Josh connery here and. Listen Josh connerley's
good offensive. TACKLE i think a lot of people think
about when he got beat up By Mike. Green we'll

(02:44:08):
get to.

Speaker 2 (02:44:08):
That the twenty twenty FIVE Nfl, draft The Washington commander
Select Josh, connery junior, Tackle.

Speaker 5 (02:44:16):
Oregon, yeah he's a good offensive, tackle considered a first round.

Speaker 1 (02:44:23):
Lock more or.

Speaker 5 (02:44:23):
Less we saw him at The Senior bowl and he
went virerule Because Mike green basically stole his. Soul, unfortunately
there's a lot of other good tape On Josh. Connery
so that's a really good, pick really solid pick there From.
Washington we're live here From Broncos power powered By Common,
Spirit Ryan, Edwards benjamin All, Bright Nick, Fergus we're gonna

(02:44:44):
take a very quick. Break we'll come back the first

Speaker 5 (02:45:51):
The opportunity to grant a wish for.

Speaker 2 (02:45:53):
A deserving young man to announce the first pick for
his favorite, Team. Tommy tommy is a sixteen year old

(02:46:14):
living with a neuromuscular disorder is a Huge Buffalo bills,
fan and he's here with me to make the announcement
for his Beloved.

Speaker 5 (02:46:23):
Bills go, Ahead, tommy.

Speaker 12 (02:46:33):
Let's Go. Buffalo with the thirtieth pick in the twenty twenty.

Speaker 20 (02:46:42):
FIVE Nfl, draft The Buffalo bills Select Maxell.

Speaker 1 (02:46:45):
Harrison let's.

Speaker 5 (02:46:46):
Go it's a thick speaking That Maxwell. Harrison, man he's
got the fastest guy at the combine a sub four
three forty get The navy is white. BACK i didn't think,
that you, know will preclude them from. Dbes that surely.
Didn't all, Right so we were winding, down and the
Reason i'm a little quieter here is good reading to

(02:47:07):
here From Sean payton And George. Peyton the media has
assembled in front of the desk in, here So sean
And george are going to be approaching in just a.
Second so The eagles at thirty one The chiefs at
thirty two are the final two. Picks Maxwell, Harston they're
going to The Buffalo, bills and LIKE i, said in
just a matter of moments and won't bring you all
their comments Here Sean payton And George peyton speaking with

(02:47:30):
the media as we're getting all set up for. That but,
Again broncos earlier on Selecting Jeanne baron cornerback out Of,
texas and as you guys talked, about you had him
ranked as the second best corner outside Of Travis. Hunter so,
again if you See Travis Hunter moore as a wide,
receiver then he might be the best corner IN.

Speaker 6 (02:47:48):
I, mean they straight.

Speaker 5 (02:47:49):
Upset don't trade the crystal for the, blender you, know
literally quote that was literally.

Speaker 7 (02:47:54):
Quote AND i think at the end of the, day
you know you got a purple sticker player instead of you,
know something.

Speaker 6 (02:47:58):
Else so.

Speaker 5 (02:48:01):
All, right, sorry we're just we're. Waiting they'll be coming
around the. Corner that's.

Speaker 9 (02:48:05):
It you.

Speaker 5 (02:48:05):
Know you talk about it, like take good players and
you're going to find out you're going to be eventually
a good. Team The eagle's been doing this for years.
Exactly the best teams in the league do. This they
draft on, strengths they continue to add talent and you
don't have to reach for players that you consider perceived.
Needs great teams do. That baltimore does, It philly does. That,
yes you draft good, players you mess, around you gonna
have good football. Team The baltimore is do you Think

(02:48:27):
ravens fans are whining about the selection Of Malachai. Starks they're, like,
no because we're used to, This we're used to taking.
Players even though we have our safety. Tandem we're in
pretty good shape. There you just say, no you Take
Malachi starks and we'll figure it. Out we'll find a
place for.

Speaker 8 (02:48:40):
Them but this tells you a lot about some of
the members Of Broncos country and sometimes how they overreact
to certain. Situations and once, again it's about thinking about
the conference as.

Speaker 6 (02:48:51):
A whole and thinking about your division as a whole as.

Speaker 8 (02:48:54):
Well so The broncos made an excellent, upgrade but they
also made this move thinking forward to the. Future if
some reason they don't want to extend To kwam, McMillan
then they have a plug and play piece that's ready to,
go a young guy who would therefore have had some, experience.

Speaker 6 (02:49:09):
And now you don't have any drop back on your.

Speaker 8 (02:49:11):
Defense SO i understand the, pick but it's gonna take
some time For Broncos country to count Of joe with
and and when the kids starts making, plays everyone's gonna forget.

Speaker 5 (02:49:20):
It, yeah you're gonna go buy his. Jersey and that's
exactly what ends up happening, like, oh this is a
fan paper passer Ten when he was selected at ninth,
overall how many people were whining about not taking a,
quarterback including the local. Media oh don't get me.

Speaker 6 (02:49:33):
Started on a local, media they cry like a bunch of.

Speaker 5 (02:49:35):
Babies Jod, campbell by the, way just went to The.

Speaker 6 (02:49:38):
Eagles that makes.

Speaker 5 (02:49:39):
Sense, yeah, yeah so the only the last you, know
The chiefs here could be On Trevion.

Speaker 7 (02:49:43):
Henderson if you're still on that, train this could be
one you want to you want to watch for all,
THOUGH i think they're on an offensive.

Speaker 5 (02:49:47):
LINE i could See simmons going.

Speaker 6 (02:49:48):
Here everything In Kansas city would go running. Back they did.

Speaker 5 (02:49:54):
Wed pick Was Clyde edwards. Hilarious BUT i think they'll
GO i think they go offensive. Line can you, imagine,
though just for a, second you have The raiders Taking ASHLEY.
J Melt out going to The, chargers and Then trayveon
going to The. Chiefs then there'd be a little bit.

Speaker 8 (02:50:07):
Of that would be a Full broncos country. Meltdown but
also can keep this in mind, Too Remember Isaiah bachenka
was a sixth round. Pick he was performing, well so they're, thinking,
okay well we can go back in the sixth.

Speaker 5 (02:50:17):
Round just having a tough time staying.

Speaker 8 (02:50:18):
Healthy, well, this this is another reason why they can
wait to go get because there's more running backs out,
there could be like a Cam scataboo.

Speaker 6 (02:50:26):
Guy.

Speaker 5 (02:50:26):
Yes, hey by the, way we just put this up
on our social. Channels you got to go check it
out right now with a chance to win a pair
of tickets to The broncos home game your. Choice talk
about a cool promotion that we're. Running go check it
out right. Now Kwait colorado On twitter or x whatever
you call, it as well As. Instagram go, there, retweet repost,

(02:50:47):
it as well as comment with a hashtag sweepstakes. Entry
that's a cool promotion that we just put out moments.
Ago shout out To Anthony rod who's doing a tremendous
job out here with the social. Stuff he's already got
some really cool videos our immediate reaction to the of
Jehan A baron as well as the interview With Jade
baron that's already up. Here and, again we can't really
do this without the entire. Crew Shannon scott out here

(02:51:08):
making everything work with the, Board Grant smith back at
the studio doing a wonderful. Job and then of Course Dave,
tepper our fearless, leader putting it all. Together but, again
in any, moment, Now Sean, Payton George, payton they're gonna
speak with the media about the Jade baron pick and
the selection. THERE i imagine we're gonna hear again to
your point then about not passing up the. CRYSTAL i

(02:51:30):
thought that's such a good. Quote i'm glad you brought that,
up because that's what this feels.

Speaker 7 (02:51:33):
Like, YEAH i, mean at the end of the, day
that's what this. Is it's a purple sticker player that
happened to be. There you thought he was gonna be gone.
EARLIER i THINK i mocked into The, dolphins IF i remember, CORRECTLY.

Speaker 5 (02:51:44):
I did see a single mock that had him slipping to. Twenty,
yeah you, KNOW i didn't see one had him fallen that.
Far so everybody expected him to go a little bit.
Higher he falls in their, lap and that's what you
that's what you kind of go. WITH i, mean you,
know LIKE i, SAID i, MEAN i.

Speaker 7 (02:51:55):
Hate to keep beating a dead horse, here but you,
know you draft good football, players then you're gonna wake
up and have a good football.

Speaker 6 (02:52:00):
Team very.

Speaker 8 (02:52:03):
Interesting what what? What what did you call him a
purb purple what purple? Sticker purple. Sticker i've never heard
the purple sticker. BEFORE i heard a purple. Label, yeah
that purple. Sticker, same, same same. DIFFERENCE i like your
tweet there by the, way maybe you stole that from.
ME i don't know the last time The broncos surprised
with the corner over other wellers wanted to pass their.

Speaker 5 (02:52:22):
Tan somebody just said that moments, ago and then you
decided to tweet it. Out, WELL i didn't EVEN i
could have quoted you and put per you, know Red
Birds radio, Say ryan brought up a really great. POINT
i wrote it down to my. DIARY i brought the.

Speaker 6 (02:52:34):

the best running backs in the. Class they're gonna good good.
Players it's the first. Round, LIKE i, mean, yeah you're
maybe you're thinking about in terms of what The broncos
could have. DONE i think To ben's, point there was
never a real chance of Getting Ashton. Jenny, no BUT
i MEAN i think they laid the groundwork for that
move if it were to. Happen that's what they.

Speaker 7 (02:54:26):
Did they're, like, okay if The raiders do go with
the offensive line, here we want to have the groundwork
laid to do. That but, no there was never any
serious trade up for a tight end or you know
that kind of stall at stuff that was out there
was just Junk.

Speaker 6 (02:54:38):
Ryan to that to, That, texter thanks for texting.

Speaker 8 (02:54:41):
End but the idea, is, though two teams in the
division picked up two, good solid running.

Speaker 6 (02:54:47):
Backs.

Speaker 8 (02:54:48):
Yeah the way you upset that is on the defensive
side of the ball with guys who have good. TACKLERS i,
Mean baron is a good tacklic great.

Speaker 5 (02:54:55):
Tackler you add that a line For james you.

Speaker 6 (02:54:58):
Had that The, broncos that changes a.

Speaker 5 (02:55:00):
LOT i think it's gonna Be, Simmons we'll.

Speaker 8 (02:55:02):
See that's how you neutralize runners like gent and and
A Mario. Hampton that's how you do.

Speaker 5 (02:55:07):
That so if you Take simmons, here that have such
great news for a lot Of broncos, Fans LIKE i,
said there would have been a full On milkasa Had
interersony here or.

Speaker 7 (02:55:16):
SOMETHING i, mean it would be it would you might
See broncos country.

Speaker 5 (02:55:19):
Out here with. Pitchforks you, Know i'd at least at
least have somebody to light my way back up to the. Car,
yeah that would Be.

Speaker 6 (02:55:28):
I'm just.

Speaker 5 (02:55:29):
Saying i'm just, saying but uh. Yeah and, Honestly, simmons
that's kind of a good. PICK i, mean if he
wouldn't have gotten.

Speaker 7 (02:55:34):
Hurt, honestly the medicals and what made him. Slide he
was gotta tell, You arizona really loved, him you, KNOW
i know. That, ULTIMATELY i think they got a guy
that fell to him And Walter.

Speaker 5 (02:55:43):
Nolan they didn't think it was gonna be.

Speaker 7 (02:55:44):
There but that's you, know fascinating fastening pick there because
The Kansas city really just kind of struggled at the
tackle position over the last couple of.

Speaker 5 (02:55:52):
Years and and so that that'll be that'll be. Interesting
five six sx nine zero Or Kway Common Spirit health text. Line,
again we're waiting For jor And sean to speak with
the media this. ONE i feel for, STANDERS i really. Do,
YEAH i did think he would go in the first.
ROUND i ultimately thought that a lot of this would
BE i don't. KNOW i, mean, again it's not to

(02:56:13):
Say Jackson dart isn't a good quarterback And i'm deserving
to be the second quarterback off the. BOARD i JUST i,
REALLY i, MEAN i came into the draft SAYING i
just don't see. IT i don't see him slipping out
of the first. Round but here we.

Speaker 8 (02:56:23):
ARE i, mean coming into this college football, season there
were only two quarterbacks that we were talking about as
far as being first.

Speaker 6 (02:56:30):
Rounders chador was one And Cam moore was the. Other
and as we went.

Speaker 8 (02:56:35):
Through the, season that continued to progress and get better
as that volume started to.

Speaker 6 (02:56:39):
Swell but it.

Speaker 8 (02:56:40):
Wasn't it wasn't only until after the combine that we
saw that, flip that switch flip and going to the
opposite direction where we were hearing so much About Jackson
DARK i, Mean ben AND i talked about it ON
vct AND i asked the, question how is it that
one player can elevate his status over another player and

(02:57:00):
no game has ever been? Played so that goes back
to the commentary from those in the media kind of
now talking about you, Know Jackson, dart AND i had
a conversation With danielowski and he, said, well the reason
that's happening is because now people who didn't Watch Jackson
dart's film during the pre draft process are now watching it.
Now AND i told, HIM i, said, well that means

(02:57:21):
is though those evaluators were really lazy because you watch
all the film all season. Long SO i don't know
the reason for. This could it be the coach prime
effect working Against? SHADOR i don't, know BUT i know
the young man is, talented AND i know whichever team
decides to select, him they're going to get a guy
who is had to fire in his, belly and with

(02:57:43):
the bravado that he, has he's going to be.

Speaker 6 (02:57:45):
Upset AND i hope he goes Scorch.

Speaker 5 (02:57:47):
Earth the bronc is going to have a chance if
they want. To and we saw this last year when
they traded up to Select Troy franklin on day, three
the right of the, beginning, REMEMBER i mean that was
where those, like we're barely into the draft on day,
Three oh it Is Josh simon's, great so, Yeah Trevon,
Hitterson Quin Shawn, Judkins Dylan. Samson, god there's a lot

(02:58:10):
of running backs that are available here on day. TWO
i mean, again only two running backs win the first,
Round so it's not like all of a sudden you
have missed the. Boat you missed this this swing of
players or running backs that you weren't able to.

Speaker 8 (02:58:22):
Get do you think that teams in the league thought
about not trying to kind of reset the idea on
running backs by having a run on running.

Speaker 7 (02:58:32):
BACKS i THINK i think they just people were just
kind of adapting to because of the disparity of grades
between pick you, know ten or, eleven twelve whatever and.
Picked there's a bunch of players in there that everybody,
had you, know different, grades AND i think everybody was
just kind of reactive to. THAT i think The broncos
got lucky h and a great player just happened to
fall in their lap just because of different grades.

Speaker 5 (02:58:51):
On, people and and you go from.

Speaker 7 (02:58:52):
There but he was trying to get those couple of tight,
ends trying to get those those couple of edge, rushers you,
know one, quarterback those kind of, things AND i think
it just laid right into their.

Speaker 5 (02:59:00):
Hand they wind up with with a pretty good corner.
HERE i like your tried to make him a returner
on me call people out on a little dynamite and
a fish. Tank, Yeah i'm a. FAN i could NEVER
i like this comment from. Profit he, said we took
an already amazing defense and made it. Better plenty of
solid running back talent on day two perfectly said AGAIN i,
look with all due respect to Ja quan mcmillion Before,

(02:59:23):
well here they, come they come to the. Podium all,
right here we, Go George, Payton Sean payton walking to the.
Podium we're going to hear from the general manager and
the head coach right.

Speaker 21 (02:59:30):
Now, hey you guys doing happy to take your questions,
Please Parker Gabriel Denver.

Speaker 6 (02:59:46):
POST i guess for each of you just what you
like about?

Speaker 22 (02:59:49):
Today and you said you thought you know the board
might come to you a little bit given how you
had players. Created what were you expecting him to get,
there and just what was your process sort of as
he went through.

Speaker 6 (03:00:00):
Evening oh, god we weren't expecting him to be.

Speaker 1 (03:00:05):
There you know he.

Speaker 5 (03:00:05):
Was he was pretty high up on our.

Speaker 21 (03:00:07):
Board you know what we liked about him is JUST i,
mean he's a, Playmaker he's a football.

Speaker 5 (03:00:12):
Player he's a fun.

Speaker 21 (03:00:13):
WATCH i, Mean, sean you, KNOW i did him during the,
season then after the, season And shawn AND i watched him.

Speaker 6 (03:00:20):
Last.

Speaker 5 (03:00:20):
Week, UH i, mean we just could stop watching.

Speaker 21 (03:00:22):
Him just the, instincts the, anticipation the route, awareness zone,
coverage really sticky In man doesn't give up any. COMPLETIONS
i don't think he gave up a. Touchdown we kept
looking the ball, skills you, know in the run. Game you,
know this guy's really good in the run, game really good,
tackler really good, blitzer and just he plays all over the.
Field this guy's got really good football. Intelligence so he

(03:00:45):
just kind of fits everything we're looking for in a.
PLAYER i, mean we talk about, versatility football, intelligence playmaking.
Ability he's just going to add to a really good.
Defense so we're excited to have.

Speaker 5 (03:00:54):
Him shaan And George Zack stevens from d n V.
R where do you expect him to initially play inside?

Speaker 6 (03:01:01):
Outside, well one of THE i think one of the
things that.

Speaker 23 (03:01:07):
Was real apparent when we studied, him and one of
the things that was attractive about the player is his. Versatility,
man you see snaps like you're follow him all around the.
Film you know his junior, year senior, year he's, outside he's.
INSIDE i think he's got great versatility That george hit on.

(03:01:28):
It his football I q is. Outstanding and then there's some.
Ties you, Know vance's brother.

Speaker 6 (03:01:36):
Was his position.

Speaker 23 (03:01:37):
Coach now he's now at The, saints but he, Was
he's been his position coach for you, know most of his.
Career so the versatility was was was something where you
don't have to pigeonhole him to one spot or. ANOTHER
i might add that we are at a max With texas,
players SO i don't care how good the Next texas player.

Speaker 6 (03:01:58):
Is someone one comes, in someone's got to. Go i'm the.
Left eric D Ailad deeverbronx Dot com.

Speaker 24 (03:02:06):
Coach you talked about him from a football, standpoint but
from a personal, standpoint getting to know, him what were those, Conversations,
LIKE i think an odd, tweet But matthew McConaughey said
that he's one of the best guys that he's gotten
to know At texas and just wondering personally icept.

Speaker 23 (03:02:20):
Him there's a ton of experience in that. ROOM i
Think george AND i are like pretty much on the
same year in the league as far as you're coming
in at the same. Time this many, drafts we have
scouts that have been in the room for forty five.
Drafts like a bright energy to him and for the first,

(03:02:43):
Time i've never had this happen where he politely, asked you,
know when when we're, finished could you guys put me on.
Speakerphone and after he finished With greg Mister, penner they
put him on. Speakerphone he thanked everyone in the room
for the process and talked about his mother in the
journey and, Uh i've never you, know He's i've never

(03:03:07):
had that.

Speaker 19 (03:03:08):
Happen so.

Speaker 6 (03:03:12):
The look you get various degrees of.

Speaker 23 (03:03:17):
Intel you have the football on film and then all
the other things with his coach Start vance's.

Speaker 6 (03:03:24):
Brother when you when you have these ties and and
you know he's a he was an a plus.

Speaker 23 (03:03:32):
Learned like in An elite, interview learn and then when
you watch the, film you're trying to minimize missus or
mistakes as best you.

Speaker 6 (03:03:42):
Can AND i could.

Speaker 23 (03:03:44):
UNDERSTAND i haven't seen any social, media BUT i could
understand why those.

Speaker 6 (03:03:53):
Would would feel that.

Speaker 23 (03:03:54):
Way Darren, rizzy his son is an ops there With.
Texas like the the amount of inf we were fortunate
enough to. Have, yeah we don't always get the same
with other with other.

Speaker 20 (03:04:06):
Players question For, George Chris thomas And denver is that
how much consideration did you have in taking a running
back at number twenty and not taking? One does that
increase the urgency to perhaps take one in round?

Speaker 6 (03:04:20):
Two?

Speaker 21 (03:04:21):
Yeah we there was you, know a runner that we
considered in that. Range you, KNOW i think that was
more of a trade back. Scenario we had some, opportunities you,
know to trade back and but we feel, good you,
know moving forward with you, know like we've said throughout the,
process there's a lot of runners in this, draft and
you know it's you never, know but we feel pretty

(03:04:42):
good we'll get a runner in this. Draft there's just
there's a lot of. Them if there's not, that you,
know we'll sign one after the, draft we'll sign a
free you, know, well it's there's a lot of good
players left in the.

Speaker 1 (03:04:50):
Draft and then we feel good with where we're.

Speaker 21 (03:04:53):
At you, know a lot of offensive, players a lot
of weapons, left and so we got a weapon on
defense the first.

Speaker 5 (03:04:59):
Round this is for COACH i try to rank with
the different.

Speaker 6 (03:05:02):
Posts this is for Coach.

Speaker 5 (03:05:03):
Payton, coach did you have any temptation to move up
as the tight end thing got a little? Different you And?
George was there any temptation to move up for?

Speaker 6 (03:05:12):
Anyone this was a year that.

Speaker 23 (03:05:18):
You, know it's interesting early in the. Process you, know
some of the early projections are where my guys. Go
but again that's hard to project before combine before like
all the in depth, evaluations and SO i think we
felt like this was a pick at our number or

(03:05:41):
possibly moved back year based on how the board.

Speaker 6 (03:05:45):
Set And george just alluded.

Speaker 23 (03:05:48):
To it that, man where you're at tonight, now in
the stretch, tomorrow in the next two, rounds there are
a lot of football players that would BE i think
as you went around the league would have similar. Grades
obviously the further out you go round, wise it's kind
of like. Buckshot then it, spreads BUT i think you're

(03:06:14):
hitting a little bit of maybe the honey hoole of
this draft in tomorrow's first and even into tomorrow's for.

Speaker 6 (03:06:21):
Tomorrow's, second and even into the third. Round and SO
i don't think forward.

Speaker 23 (03:06:29):
Every team up, there every team, was they were all
looking to come, back and the reason was really how
the board was, SET i think with most of the
teams in the.

Speaker 6 (03:06:40):
League, yeah, GUYS i THINK.

Speaker 25 (03:06:46):
I think the mock drafts were all for three hundred
predicting who are you going to take? HERE i think
one of the reasons why the surprises people didn't think
cornerback it, looked.

Speaker 5 (03:06:58):
You, know not really a position of, need our priority.

Speaker 25 (03:07:02):
Need was this simply taking the best player available rather
than drafting for.

Speaker 21 (03:07:07):
Need, YEAH i mean it's a premium, position you. Know for, One,
mikey you, Know i've said it. Before you can't have
enough good cover. GUYS i mean we lost you, know
we had a few injuries this year and you saw
what kind of, happened and so we can't have enough
good cover.

Speaker 5 (03:07:21):
Guys this guy was just, unique you know.

Speaker 1 (03:07:23):
For where he was on our.

Speaker 21 (03:07:24):
BOARD i talk about the football, player the playmaker once,
again but he was just too unique to pass. Up
and corners a premium position when you when you.

Speaker 23 (03:07:33):
Get into these spots that are past, rushers corners or
even offensive, lineman. Quarterback and you looked at this year's,
draft we felt like man when you it was it
was a thin year at some of the defensive back.
Positions we we watched film for the better part of

(03:07:55):
three hours. Today if we get this player, offensively all, right.

Speaker 6 (03:08:00):
Great if we, don't here's a, clump here's a clump.
Here there's depth in some other.

Speaker 23 (03:08:04):
Positions there's depth at running, back and so managing it
and looking at like.

Speaker 6 (03:08:09):
The grade.

Speaker 23 (03:08:12):
When george mentioned like there was probably six picks we
had to get past as he sat, there AND i
THINK i think it was, value but also knowing what
the what the next few days present relative to the other.

(03:08:33):
Positions so the mocks that you guys read for the last,
month you, know, what do you want me to? Say
that's embarrassing sometimes and but it's, entertaining and.

Speaker 6 (03:08:49):
But we read, them so you, know some of, them
we're gonna, do not all of.

Speaker 18 (03:08:54):
Them Andrew Mason Denver Sports sean from your person perspective
as an offensive play, caller and, coach how how would
you game plans somebody Like jeday?

Speaker 5 (03:09:09):
Like and how good is it to have someone With? Jay?

Speaker 23 (03:09:13):
No, no it's a good question because the first thing
we asked them with a complicated name before we call
him is how do we pronounce his?

Speaker 6 (03:09:19):
Name AND i might as. WELL i JUST i said HELLO,
jb BUT i think It's.

Speaker 18 (03:09:29):
Day so how good does it have like someone Like george,
said unique like? Him and how difficult can it be
to counter somebody like that who can go, slot, outside, safety,
box move around like.

Speaker 6 (03:09:44):
That, well in our ten, years.

Speaker 23 (03:09:47):
Call it the last fifteen, years with the rules in
the way the games, change the cornerback has been a premium,
position and then pretty soon the third, receiver the third,
corner then pretty soon the dime packages and more than
seventy percent of your game is spent in these sub.

(03:10:07):
Defenses and As george alluded, to when you're short, boy.

Speaker 6 (03:10:14):
That that makes it.

Speaker 23 (03:10:17):
Difficult these are these are premium, positions and, like this
type of player is less available.

Speaker 6 (03:10:26):
Than so many other.

Speaker 23 (03:10:27):
Positions you, know we, can, yeah it's just it's it's
harder to find these traits and what he does than
at other. Positions not only in the draft and, offseason
and so he provides great flexibility if if if you

(03:10:48):
want to play a third down snap and Put sirtan
on a certain, receiver travel him to, one Travel riley,
like there's a lot of.

Speaker 6 (03:10:56):
Flexibility J, mack the four of. Them it's it's.

Speaker 23 (03:11:04):
Real difficult if you're light, there and it would be
no different than twenty years ago if you were light
at just one of the two corner.

Speaker 6 (03:11:12):
Positions but.

Speaker 23 (03:11:15):
The value of these defensive backs in the last ten
years has really skyrocketed relative to how the game has.

Speaker 26 (03:11:23):
Changed you mentioned some of having the insight From, Darren
rizzy's son and From Vance. Joseph how much practical help
does that give you when you are evaluating a player to,
like how do you kind of apply.

Speaker 23 (03:11:36):
More it's more what's he like as a, teammate what's
he like in the? Classroom how does he? Practice does
he get along with does He it's not like we
see the, film it's all the other, things.

Speaker 6 (03:11:49):
You, know when how does he treat others in the.

Speaker 23 (03:11:54):
Building it's it's so it's not as much the, football
but it's more of all the other things that you're
really trying to.

Speaker 6 (03:12:01):
Grasp the day to.

Speaker 21 (03:12:03):
Day you, know what's the day in day? Out does
he have a lot of bad? Days are they mostly good?
Days those are the things you can't see on. TAPE i,
mean our scouts get a lot of, it but to
have someone inside you, know it's really.

Speaker 5 (03:12:13):
Important it's really.

Speaker 27 (03:12:14):
Helpful jeff, like, well THE espn for both of you,
guys given how much you're in the sub packages on,
defense where did tackling fit in the equation with with?

Speaker 23 (03:12:27):
Him, well it's it's it's a prerequisite meaning and it
sounds but like there's two things that make it. Difficult
if we're talking corners, nickels bad ball skills it's tough
because there's no repercussions when you throw it their. Way
and then poor tacklers because offensively we can make them.

Speaker 6 (03:12:52):
Tacklers so that it's kind of like that's one of the.

Speaker 23 (03:13:01):
Traits that that you have to be able to check
a box on and you can improve some guys, maybe
but this guy's this guy anticipates.

Speaker 6 (03:13:11):
Man.

Speaker 23 (03:13:12):
Again it was we had to watch and we were
in a room of eight maybe some of the scouts
AND i can't, recall but there was this just where
we looked at each, other and we're, like and then
let's keep watching. More and then the more and more we,
watched it was, like all, right let's be. Quiet you,
know let's so tackling it.

Speaker 6 (03:13:35):
Is it's. Important thank, you, yep thank you. Guys, okay
there you.

you go down the draft, board and Both George payden
And Sean payton talked about, it how so many people
got it wrong with their twenty Million mott draft two
point oh seven point. Oh but they identified a, guy

(03:16:50):
they looked at what they did defensively and they, said,
well how can we make our team?

Speaker 6 (03:16:54):
Better?

Speaker 8 (03:16:54):
Right and even though there's still going to be a
lot of members Of Broncos country who are upset that
The broncos didn't take a running back in the first,
round but The broncos still have more, picks there's still
more talent on the. Board but it was about playing.
Defense it was about being more. Aggressive it was about
creating more. Turnovers see all those, individuals beat, rioters individuals

(03:17:17):
on social, media those in the local media who are
voicing their opinion negatively.

Speaker 6 (03:17:22):
About, this they're gonna change.

Speaker 8 (03:17:24):
It once they see Bow nicks start to score more
touchdown they're gonna, say.

Speaker 6 (03:17:27):
Well how did that?

Speaker 8 (03:17:28):
Happen, oh let's let's rewind the, tape let's use these.
Receipts and mcgiver showed.

Speaker 5 (03:17:33):
UP i was, wrong by the. Way it was a blocked,
punt a fumble return and an interception return professionally can't use.

Speaker 6 (03:17:39):
It, WAIT i noticed how you Keep you're trying not
to acknowledge. Mcgiver, No i'm not.

Speaker 5 (03:17:47):
Going to why why you? Can't doesn't have the bullet,
man this is.

Speaker 7 (03:17:51):
GONNA i, mean look if he comes, up if if
he shows up here with a bullet, TOMORROW.

Speaker 6 (03:17:54):
I will Know ryan will never do.

Speaker 5 (03:17:59):
That BUT i won him For does that make Me
murdoch in this case very? Clearly, yeah, Yes i'm just
but that makes You Pete. Thorton we're really into the weeds.
Here this is Like Saturday contents on A thursday.

Speaker 6 (03:18:10):
NIGHT i just Want ryan for just this. Moment it
is a great day In broncos.

Speaker 8 (03:18:16):
Country it is but for you to openly over the,
airways this is your, moment your, Opportunity, okay to just
just say the word.

Speaker 6 (03:18:24):
Mcgiver that's ALL i need to, say. Mcgiver you don't
have to follow with anything.

Speaker 5 (03:18:27):
Else on THE koi commaspirital textly five six six nine.
Zero Could denver trade up to Get? Henderson and what
will it? Cost they don't have to pick fifty.

Speaker 7 (03:18:36):
One when you look at the players that are still,
available there's some there's some good players out there, still
you may not have. TO i think if you do move,
up you probably only need to move up roughly ten
picks to give or. Take and the cost there is
not that. MUCH i, mean moving up in the second
round is nothing like moving up in the first. Round
moving up in the first round is. Expensive you're paying
a premium for. It moving up in the second and
third round starts to get a little value to. It

(03:18:57):
and so you, Know i'm happy The broncos didn't move up,
today and then be optimistic that they can still come
away with some of the offensive playmakers THAT i think
they want to come away.

Speaker 6 (03:19:07):
With what would they one somewhat in the?

Speaker 8 (03:19:09):
Books just looking ahead to tomorrow and, beyond what are
the positions do you think The broncos at this particular,
point and you just talked about running back that they
need to address in this, draft THEN.

Speaker 5 (03:19:20):
I think tight.

Speaker 7 (03:19:21):
END i think you need somebody who can play in
line to, develop and THEN i think you need a
body in the receiver.

Speaker 5 (03:19:26):
Room again the, body, WELL i mean you need. Somebody
you need another one in the, pipeline, right you, know
maybe at the early day three gully At Jaalen, royals.

Speaker 7 (03:19:36):
There's you want to love size. Guys there's a kid
FROM TVU tcu whose names revel. That the other, one
the other wide, receiver the kid From tennessee who's extremely.

Speaker 5 (03:19:48):
Fast, WELL i always say You.

Speaker 7 (03:19:50):
Higgins BOTH i Was state guys are at. There But
i'm talking about you, know you Got Jalen royals out, there.
SOMEBODY i think they might look at Steveon williams FROM TCU,
uh and then the The Kyle williams From Washington. State
and we're talking About Jack Beck, NO i went To.
Bash i'm talking At sayle With. Williams and then you've
got the kid From tennessee whose name escapes me at the, moment.

Speaker 5 (03:20:08):
Straight, line super speed. Guy And i'm drawing a gigantic
Blanc oh not vrow, McCoy the other One Thomas Hyeah, Thornton, Yeah.
Thornton That's Dante. Thorton, Yeah Dante.

Speaker 6 (03:20:20):
Thorton what are your thoughts, On Jane? Higgins do you think.

Speaker 5 (03:20:22):
Those guys are?

Speaker 19 (03:20:23):
GOOD i don't.

Speaker 7 (03:20:23):
THINK i think those guys are gonna go pretty early.
TOMORROW i think you can see a run on RECEIVERS
uh to open it. Up AND i don't Think Luther
burton is gonna be one of the early. Ones taken
from WHAT i, understand AND i try to hint this
to people throughout the draft, Process Luther burton was vastly
overrated by.

Speaker 6 (03:20:37):
Media.

Speaker 7 (03:20:38):
Uh you, know he's a three route runner who doesn't
block uh and his, personality you, know quirks THAT i
think are probably not uh fit.

Speaker 5 (03:20:46):
Here and and and there's quite a few teams that
were kind of put off by.

Speaker 18 (03:20:49):
That.

Speaker 5 (03:20:49):
Uh but both Those Ayowa state.

Speaker 7 (03:20:51):
Guys you can have any Sup state Kid harris who go,
yeah you, know you could see those you could. Say
and Then Jack BASH i think HE'S i think The
rams are gonna take, him but we'll.

Speaker 5 (03:21:00):
YEAH i, again you know a lot of running backs,
Here Travion, Quin Shawn Caleb johnson At, Iowa Dylan, Samson
Devin neil out Of. KANSAS i think as you get
a little bit into this group, here whether It's Dylan,
SAMSON i think it's still A day two, Guy Devin,
NEIL Dj, Giddons Jordan. JAMES i think those are all
kind Of day three Early day three.

Speaker 6 (03:21:18):
GUYS R.

Speaker 5 (03:21:19):
J harvey's another, One, Uh basil touton that that guy
is tested out of The. Roof so there's a lot
of really good running backs still up. There but, yeah
The broncos wanted to go Get Traveon. HENDERSON i would
think that they'd probably have to get into the upper,
FORTIES i, think to really kind of put themselves in.
Position but, again you, know your the top of the draft.
Here you Think cleveland might be in the market for

(03:21:40):
a quarterback or running? BACK i think, so, HUH i
guess they didn't bring Back Nick.

Speaker 7 (03:21:45):
Chubbs, Yeah Caleb JOHNSON i think is somebody you might
you might see go there fairly. Early they could be
in the market for. Quarterback i'm not. Sure it feels
like they're they're picking Up amo for next. Year could
be you, know trading, batting putting you, know Once deshaun's
up in the first. Rounder, yeah we'll just make it
through this year and then tear off the, books will
you know that kind of.

Speaker 5 (03:22:01):
Thing that's what it feels like at this.

Speaker 8 (03:22:02):
Point not even though The broncos Added Drake greenlaw at
the linebacker, position you Have Alex singleton who's coming off of.

Speaker 6 (03:22:10):
Injury they signed Back Justin.

Speaker 8 (03:22:11):
Streanard i'm thinking that later on in the draft this
could be an opportunity for The broncos to add more
to their second level of the defense BECAUSE i don't
think that they are truly solid at the linebacker.

Speaker 5 (03:22:23):
Position, Yeah Drew, sanders don't forget about. THAT i, MEAN
i think they probably need a. Linebacker i'm just not
sure that there's anybody that caliber here that you. DRAFT
i think the guys that you're looking for probably guys
you can get On day.

Speaker 6 (03:22:34):
Three, well, no that's What i'm.

Speaker 8 (03:22:35):
Saying so that so The broncos should be in the
move for getting more defensive, players but more importantly with.

Speaker 5 (03:22:42):
Linebacker, YEAH i think that that's that is something you'll probably.

Speaker 8 (03:22:45):
Add up because we don't we don't know What Drew
sanders is going to do with The broncos as a
second level, defender because they, were you, know trying to
decide what direction do we put them if they put
them on the edge or we put them in the
middle of the. Field SO i would like to, say
see The broncos just add. Depth and once, again this
is not a position where you have to try to
take a guy in the second round because you have

(03:23:06):
other position of.

Speaker 6 (03:23:06):
Needs but to, me coming out of this, DRAFT i.

Speaker 8 (03:23:09):
Would be solely disappointed if The broncos don't choose a
linebacker at some.

Speaker 5 (03:23:14):
Point, okay a couple more texts here on THE Kwa
Commas Spirit health text line five six six nine. Zero once,
again we're on till eleven, o'clock so a plenty of.
Opportunity you can also tweet at us At ALBRIGHT nfl
at our average radio At Nick ferguson is an underscore twenty.
Five there you, go all? Right good this?

Speaker 1 (03:23:30):
One.

Speaker 5 (03:23:31):
Ben were there any other players at The broncos on
The broncos draft board that they expected to be there
at twenty but surprisingly. WEREN'T i think they probably Thought
Kenneth grant was going to be, there not that they
were going to necessarily going to take, him BUT i
think they thought he was going to be, there and
obviously he. Wasn't miami took, it and then that Allowed
baron to be. There they didn't expect to be. There,
yeah and then they confirmed by the way that the

(03:23:52):
only running back they didn't hit the, name but the
only running back that they were considering was actually more
of a trade. Back, conversation WHICH i thought was a
very eye opening point was brought up By.

Speaker 7 (03:24:00):
George, yeah the trade back for Potentially Trey Von. Henderson
SO i mean they didn't say the, name but so
that maybe just.

Speaker 6 (03:24:06):
Spoiler.

Speaker 5 (03:24:06):
Again argument there is that maybe o'marian wasn't seen as
high and then oftentimes that is the case right to
be a va mock via fans. Media otherwise we pump
up these. Guys, NOW O marion did go second and
the running backs off the, board but that doesn't necessarily
mean The broncos fellas high on. Him, YEAH i think.

Speaker 7 (03:24:25):
So you, know, again there's there's talented there's a bunch
of talented. Backs it's not just one guy they. Like
there's a lot of guys that they. Like BUT i
think they didn't Think baron was going to be. There
somebody they had a blue.

Speaker 5 (03:24:34):
Chip grade, on call them a premium, position, right premium,
position blue chip grade. Guy they didn't think he was
going to be. There he fell in their, lap and
so that changed.

Speaker 7 (03:24:40):
PLANS i, mean they The giants were trying to get
called them about trading up to, twenty and that was
to Get Jackson. Dart SO i think If baron hadn't been,
THERE i think they would have taken that. TRADE i
think they would have moved back AND i think they
would have Taken Trey Von.

Speaker 8 (03:24:52):
Henderson you know, what, MAN i think you use the
operative word like, right do you like? Something do you love?
It and that Change and there's nothing wrong with take
taking a pivot standing back thirty thousand foot of you
looking at the situation to, Say, okay well here's what
we thought we wanted to, do but here's a player
that who's high on our, board.

Speaker 6 (03:25:11):
Who was still, there so how can we not take?

Speaker 18 (03:25:14):
It?

Speaker 5 (03:25:14):
YEAH i was gonna date, her but THEN i didn't
Know City sween he was, gonna you, know call off
her engagements now HERE i, mean.

Speaker 6 (03:25:22):
But that but that's kind of the situation that you're in.

Speaker 5 (03:25:26):
That, YEAH i sort of one of those things, like you, know,
well we could do, this but this is something we,
want but it's probably not gonna Be, yeah.

Speaker 8 (03:25:34):
But the idea is that this is much better for
us right now in the short. Term but once, again
if we said that all the running backs were off
the board and there was only one running back remaining
and The broncos did, this THEN i can easily see
that someone In broncos country being upset about.

Speaker 6 (03:25:48):
It but there's still more running backs on the. Board
SO i don't.

Speaker 8 (03:25:52):
Understand the outrage the, frustration, right IT'S i, mean as
a former, PLAYER i just, Said i'm gonna choose my
words really. Wisely but it's taken me off because a
lot of individuals are not looking at it with an open.
Mind it's just it's a whole bunch of closed minded
people That ryan is reading.

Speaker 6 (03:26:12):
Off you, KNOW x and text.

Speaker 8 (03:26:14):
Messages, right you have to have an open mind and
try to see the big picture of what The broncos
are trying to.

Speaker 5 (03:26:20):
Accomplish, yeah AND i, thought not only you, there BUT
i thought they explained that. Perfectly and once again you
come back AND i think it's just a great quote
from What sean was talking. About And i'm trying to
remember who's the defensive lineman that they ended up taking
ahead of Mark ingram and then trade it back into
The Cam. Jordan, yeah so it was. Perfect he gave
that as an. Example, Right they had Mark ingram as their.

(03:26:41):
Guy they wanted Mark ingram the whole, time And Cam
jordan just fell in their. Life they did not expect that.

Speaker 6 (03:26:47):
To be the.

Speaker 5 (03:26:47):
Case and he's been a tremendous player for, them, right
no doubt about. It so they Were he, said you
don't pass up what is the china or the uh.

Speaker 7 (03:26:56):
You don't play ass up the china for the. Blender,
yeah the crystal for the, Crystal chris so.

Speaker 5 (03:27:00):
Crystal, yeah you don't pass up the crystal for the
blender knowing you need a, blender you, know but you
you got that Player and they said it's a premium
position once. Again go check out on our social channels

Speaker 1 (03:28:17):
Wikie this is THE Koa Broncos Radio.

Speaker 23 (03:28:21):
Network so the versatility was just something where you don't
have to pigeonhole him to one spot or, another right
energy to. Him and for the first, Time i've never
had this happen where he politely, asked you know, when
when we're, finished could you guys put me on, Speakerphone
and after he finished With greg Mister penner to put

(03:28:44):
him on, speakerphone he thanked everyone in the room for
the process and talked about his mother and the. Journey
And i've never had that.

Speaker 5 (03:28:51):
Happen that was such a cool. Moment as we heard
there From Sean payton speaking about The Johnny bear in,
SELECTION i just, yeah, again you don't hear those kinds of.
Things but we talked about it right off the. BAT i,
mean he's a team. Captain they're HIGH. Iq you Heard
sean talk about. That they were excited about his. Versatility

(03:29:11):
he did have a fun moment where he said that
we've reached Our max And texas, players so we can't
we can't take. Anymore if one one more comes, in
somebody's got to. GO i thought that was. Great they
felt they they felt like this was sort of as
a room as a group Because george talked about us
that we couldn't take our eyes off of him over
the course of last week as they're watching tape on.
Him it just felt like a consensus group. Pick they,

(03:29:34):
looked they looked at what was available to. Them, certainly
you run through all those, scenarios but we didn't Think JOHN.
A baron would be. There they didn't think he would be.
There and you got better, Today so whatever, People and
again we'll get more reaction here on The Kae Comma
Spirit heal text line five six six nine. ZERO i
think it's impossible to say. Otherwise you got better. Today,

(03:29:55):
yeah at the end of the, DAY i mean that's
that's what it. Is they didn't expect that player to be.

Speaker 7 (03:29:59):
There he fell to, him and you, know they weighed
taking a player they viewed as a blue chip player
versus maybe trading back and taking the running, back which
for those of you wondering what was in the, envelope
that's literally what was in the. ENVELOPE i don't know
if cameras ON i could open it up to show,
you but it was trade Back Travon. Henderson so we'll,
see we'll see if tomorrow they wind up getting running

(03:30:19):
back without having to do all.

Speaker 5 (03:30:20):
That, kyle let's get to some text reaction here on
The Kawe Common spirit heal text line five six six nine,
Zero Ryan Edwards Benjamin. Albright always lots of injuries in
the defensive, backfield you can't have too. MANY i think
it's a good.

Speaker 6 (03:30:32):
Pick.

Speaker 5 (03:30:33):
Agree we saw last, year for, Example Riley mosk went
down and you you were a different, defense not even
just different, secondary you were a different defense Without Riley.
Mosks you saw you Had Patser tan.

Speaker 7 (03:30:42):
With the ankle, issue you Had Riley moss who was,
out and that all of a sudden the defense started hemorrhaging.
Yards one of the clamp down defenses in the. League
the good thing About barrett is he can play the.
Nickel he can also play the. Outside he can play the.
Field so you, KNOW i think at the end of the,
day you get, better you get better, depth and you
just got stronger as a.

Speaker 5 (03:30:59):
Unit how happy are The broncos with their centers on the,
roster like the center From, georgia although they have bigger
needs of running back and tight.

Speaker 7 (03:31:06):
End, YEAH i think they're. FINE i, Mean wadberg was
somebody they really even IF i haven't believed in it,
necessarily they have AND i didn't think he was that
bad last. Year you, know, HONESTLY i felt like the
weak link on the offensive line was at the left
guard position or maybe right, tackle which is ironically where
most of the money. Is but you, KNOW i think
that THEY'LL i think they'll continue to look to improve.

(03:31:28):
That BUT i feel like they feel like they've got
a good an off offensive line this.

Speaker 5 (03:31:31):
ONE i THINK i understand why they did, it BUT
i don't think they need to work on the defense
that is already award. WINNING i think we need to
continue to Give nicks as many tools on offense as,
Possible but they're going to continue to do. THAT, i in,
FACT i go as far not so much a guarantee
What i'd say On day two with their second and
third round. Pick it wouldn't shock me. Whatsoever they're both

(03:31:52):
offensive players at this.

Speaker 7 (03:31:53):
RATE i, YEAH i think the next two could be offensive,
players just based on what's out there.

Speaker 6 (03:32:00):
NOW i don't think the the defensive.

Speaker 7 (03:32:02):
LINE i don't think there's guys there THAT i think
are necessarily leap you, know we got to have that
guy versus a guy about eighty picks. Later SO i
would suggest THAT i believe that skill position players will
probably be the next two picks for the never brocos.

Speaker 5 (03:32:17):
If henderson is the targeted running back And taylor is
the targeted tight, End i'm not sure they have the
amo to get. Both so who are some other names
that could be in the mix of those? Positions as From, Roger,
well you know tight, End you've got what A? Royal
Elijah royo is out. There i'll pull up the list
of what's it running backs you? Get you, KNOW i,
Mean Dylan sampson's out. There you've got The, judkins you
know they Title Elijah, Royal Mason, Taylor Terrence, Ferguson Gunner

(03:32:41):
Helm helm's a day three. Guy must those guys Like
muscleose Tight ends are day three. Guys, yeah, WELL i
think the first THREE i read are all going to
Do day two For.

Speaker 7 (03:32:48):
Yeah ferguson might be beyond. That, Yeah royo And taylor
will Be day Two fergusons and Maybe hell will Be day.
Three and those guys are All day three.

Speaker 6 (03:32:55):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (03:32:55):
Yeah running back as we mentioned, Earlier, trayveon Quinch On,
CALEB i don't Think scatabo is going day too. WELL
i don't think.

Speaker 7 (03:33:03):
So Jill sampson can Go day, Two Gidten's, neil those
guys ARE i, mean there's a good running.

Speaker 6 (03:33:07):
BACKS.

Speaker 7 (03:33:07):
Rj harvey is another ONE i think is going to
go higher than people. Expect dave And martinez In Bad
tuton's probably gonna go pretty pretty.

Speaker 5 (03:33:13):
High BUT i, mean you've think like A day three
just for a moment here and. AGAIN i don't know
if this helps anybody feel any better about their, life
because people are, frustrated and you're allowed to feel whatever.

Speaker 6 (03:33:22):
You want to.

Speaker 5 (03:33:22):
Feel if you're looking for receiving backs or running, backs
that certainly fit some of the traits That sean would
be looking for in a running back that gives them some.
Versatility Britchard smith had A Smu Laquent Allen alan wanted
to keep their eye on. There Jayden blue out Of
texas an. Go he fumbles a, lot BUT i mean,
again that's the thing they maybe they think about. It

(03:33:44):
But Oli, GORDON i mean out Of Oklahoma. State remember last,
year coming into the college football, season he was talked
about as the best running back in the. Country and
here we are on day three talking About Oli gordon
as a possible. Target but he's a good running. Back
he just had a bad, year partly because their offensive,
line because of the in my, opinion some of the.
Coaching but so many good players That Damian martinez and

(03:34:05):
To miami is still out. There some scouts really Like
Jordan james At. Oregon so and again that's A day three.
Guys SO i, mean we just listed probably seven guys
On day three that they could, get so they could double,
dip they could take. One here on day, two once
again they got three six round. PICKS i don't expect
them to take three six round. PLAYERS i think that
The broncos are still in the market to be moving. Around,

(03:34:28):
YEAH i agree with.

Speaker 7 (03:34:30):
That there's not that many open roster spots to be
having ten picks this year nine picks this. YEAR i
think you can use that to get around a little
bit and get who you. Want and, again the cost
to move up in the second, round it's not like you're.
Trading you, know you're not having to trade a second
and a third to move up in the second. Round
you're talking about two six to a seven to move
up a little bit in the second. Round so if
you can find somebody that you know that that's willing

(03:34:51):
to let you move, up you can get your. Guys
and they could very well come with Both Mason taylor
And Trevion Henderson tomorrow Or quinn shut you, know whoever
it is that you're that you're you're thinking could be the.
GUY i think they liked both those two. GUYS i
don't know if they come away with both or, either
BUT i think they like both of.

Speaker 5 (03:35:06):
THEM i would love either. ONE i, mean, Honestly Trevon
henderson or Quinch On. JUDKINS i think either one of
those running backs are just. Phenomenal so and, honestly there
was quite a few mocks that had The broncos Selecting
quinchewan at fifty, one AND i think he might be. There,
well we'll end up seeing if there's a little bit
of a run on running backs that could, change and
that always ends up being the. Case but there has
not been a run on running backs just. Yet The,
broncos LIKE i, said they considered one there at. Twenty

(03:35:28):
they laughed off a lot of mock drafts that had
them taking a running. BACK i wonder if the trade
up For Colston loveland was one of the. Favorites that's
what they're talking, about those kinds of things that came
out just. YESTERDAY i, thought, right there was a.

Speaker 7 (03:35:40):
Bunch of you, know there was a bunch of kind
of silly stuff about trading up for a tight there, Like,
look they were adamant to me that they were not
moving up the chanty. Thing they're, like we're gonna make
some calls and if this thing gets to a, point
then we could look at. That but they were adamant
to me that they were not trading, up that that
was not really and and sure enough they came out
and said that the pressor this was, look this is you,
know this was a stay pad or trade back kind of, draft.

Speaker 5 (03:36:02):
And they confirmed. That, Yeah, sean see that right there
is so telling because Even sean said that that wasn't
Even george out there, saying, hey this was a stand
pat or trade back. Draft it Was sean saying. That
so for all the, people AND i had people in
my mentions laying saying That George payton was too scared
to trade up For Ashton Jenny, police that's. Nonsense and

(03:36:25):
even that the head, coach who we know loves to be,
aggressive was, saying that's not what this draft. Was this
draft was we either pick a player at twenty or
we moved back and they took a player at. Twenty
they didn't think it was going to be there this.
One thank You ryan And. Ben this has been. Therapeutic,
YEAH i mean we're just having a. CONVERSATION i, mean
it Doesn't i'm not saying that we're. Right i'm not
saying that media members that are out there slamming The

(03:36:46):
broncos for this are. Wrong it's just to say that
this is our perspective on. It this is just WHERE
i thought the draft was going to. GO i will
say because when we, did because we had the live
video reaction That Anthony rodd put. OUT i was, surprised you,
know cause we'd Mentioned Johnny Brown baron a couple of picks,
before we, said, hey he's still out. THERE a little

(03:37:07):
surprised by, this and sometimes there's a reason, why Like Will,
johnson it's a reason why he's slipping in this. Draft
BUT i didn't Expect Jodny baron to be there at
twenty when WHEN i had been doing a lot of
the pre draft. PREP i just. Didn't, YEAH i didn't,
EITHER i certainly. Didn't we talked about it.

Speaker 6 (03:37:21):
Out of the.

Speaker 5 (03:37:22):
COMBINE i, REMEMBER, I, I, yeah talk about that when
you were you were talking about the slot and now
they you, know didn't need it upgrade and all that
kind of.

Speaker 7 (03:37:28):
Stuff we talked about that for for a while, Now
nick AND i have talked about that for a while.
Now it's it's one of those things where at the
end of the, day with the benefit of, hindsight not,
surprising surprised in the, moment but with the benefit of,
hindsight not not really that surprising relative to what they
said the whole. Time The broncs aren't they're sitting there
just lying to, people you. Know they they're pretty straightforward
with what it. Is that they're they're telling you that they're.

Speaker 6 (03:37:47):
Going to do.

Speaker 5 (03:37:49):
This WHEN i heard you guys say you'll be on till,
ten BUT i really see you found out you're an hour.
Ahead i'm so. Lost, yeah no WERE i, said we're
on till. ELEVEN i don't know where you're at texting
us from the two on, three but, yeah we're Ontil. Mountain,
yeah and same thing tomorrow. Night by the, way we're
on till eleven. O'clock tomorrow. Night our cover starts at three,
o'clock by the, way and The rockies play at. Six

(03:38:09):
just as a little bit of a programming, note so
that will also find you on k how starting at six,
o'clock and then we'll rejoin the k away this. One
our china cabinet was full of crystal and other nice.
Plates but when we go to make a, smoothie our
four blenders aren't capable of churning up a. BANANA i, mean,
LISTEN i appreciate taking that reference that way and making

(03:38:31):
it that that's pretty entertaining this. One, now the blenders
that are left are the hand me. Down that is
just not. TRUE i MEAN i just listened to several
running backs and you text her for what it's. Worth
if you'd have, said if The broncos did Take Trayvon,
henderson you'd be over the moon with the. Blender, yeah
you're telling me there's nothing.

Speaker 6 (03:38:48):
Left the player that.

Speaker 5 (03:38:49):
We all wanted a. TWENTY i think most of us
wanted twenty is still, there still, There SO i DON'T
i don't understand. That that's pretty. Funny Alli gordon is
my favorite day Scery. PICK i Love Alli. Gordon i've
been a Big Alli. GORDON i Like Ali.

Speaker 6 (03:39:01):
GORDON i don't.

Speaker 5 (03:39:02):
Fine, uh something said they hate that. SONG i don't
even know what you're talking. About whoever slamming The. BRONCOS
i got one thing to. Say let the boys be,
boys slam okay that AND i hate that. Song that.
Song yeah that's. Good that's. Good all, right five six
six nine. Zero you can keep sending in your text.
Messages so just an acknowledgement of some of the players

(03:39:25):
that are still out, there and then we'll talk about.
Tomorrow Kawa sports staring at three o'clock Mentioned Will Johnson
Mike green didn't get drafted in the first. Round nick emmn.
Worry WHO i like is the defensive?

Speaker 7 (03:39:35):
BACK i thought he could have. Gotten but the problem
with him is just he's kind of. Positionless you, know
he's kind of Hisener, yeah and so he's kind of.
Positionless he's just.

Speaker 5 (03:39:43):
A freak athlete that play, safety could play. Linebacker but,
yeah that that's what it. Is H donovan Is rock
who From Boston. COLLEGE i thought could go in the first. Round,
yeah he'll go. Early Darius alexander From Toledo, dallas keep
your eye on. Him, Okay Savon ravel coming off the,
injury but people said he could have been one of
the top cornerbacks if he wasn't hurt last. YEAR A

(03:40:03):
trey Von Shador. Sanders we talked a little bit about
him early. On Trey amos is another cornerback THAT i
was wondering if he's sneak into the first. Round marson
from Out Notre.

Speaker 7 (03:40:13):
DAME i wouldn't be surprised both those guys, before But
will john again. Him Will johnson's serious legitimate medical concerns
with the, knee and so THAT i, MEAN i didn't
even have him the first round my, mock and everybody's
calling me a.

Speaker 5 (03:40:23):
Clown and NOW i, guess you, know now we see
what's going on. There This we're gonna be. Fascinating Carson
swessinger another guy like. LOCKBACKER i don't, KNOW i don't you.
Know To nix's, point he was talking about. Linebacker i'm
not sure sure that's What i'd burned my day to pick. On,
YEAH i don't think that's the one that they are,
eyeball but we'll. SEE i, Mean george obviously loves AS
ucla guys and has the connection.

Speaker 6 (03:40:42):
There.

Speaker 5 (03:40:42):
Yeah, so as is always the, case always the, case
we get through the first round and there's THIS i
can't believe that guy is still out. There it happens
every single. Year so The broncos are are, targeting say
a running, back or they're targeting another position that there's
certainly an opportunity to move up from fifty. One they've
got their third, round AND i think that that's kind
of the mindset that they came into this draft. With,

(03:41:04):
anyways we have our full compliment of premium picks and
we're gonna use them effectively to get players that are
gonna help us.

Speaker 7 (03:41:11):
Now, yeah it'd be interest in the future. Too it'd
be interesting with The browns opening up with the first.
Pick you know who you think they Would they would go.
THERE i, mean you've got guys Like Mike green and
the kids FROM bc right. There you, know you that
To Mason, graham you had that To Shelby Miles. Garrett
all of a, sudden That Jim schwartz defensive lines, man
they you, know getting. Asked you could also see A
Caleb johnson. There you might even you, know they might

(03:41:33):
Go trainie And henderson all the.

Speaker 6 (03:41:34):
Way doubt.

Speaker 5 (03:41:34):
It Quinn Shawn judkins would would be somebody you might
look at. THERE i don't Know Ohio state guys there In.
OHIO i feel like they're perfectly. Positioned once, AGAIN i
personally just love taking players that make you. Better SO
i could even go to the quarterback position there right.
Right BUT i just coming back to the decision to Take,
baron AND i know we'll spend a lot of time

(03:41:56):
talking about it With dave tomorrow at three. O'clock it's
just the MORE i sit with, it the more i'm
it's exactly what we talked, about because we, said if
they don't go running back and they go, defense we
thought defensive line would be one of the directions we'd.
Go and and once, again for all the people out
there there, like why would you take a. Corner you
would have probably said the same thing about defensive, line

(03:42:16):
and yet that was mocked to The broncos a lot as.
Well defensive line was and its rotational position, sometimes like
corner tends to. Be it's, just you, know draft drafting strong,
players drafting from a position of. Strength you, KNOW i
don't know if people AND i don't remember If John
elway was crushed often for doing these kinds of, things

(03:42:37):
but the same, thing we've Taken Shane, ray you, know
he's an edge. Rusher at the, time Took Bradley, chubb
and a lot of people thought that that was kind
of a. Mistake Now Bradley, Chubb, yeah he had a
great rookie. Season he had some. INJURIES i, mean that's
that's part of what it. Is, sometimes, yeah have some,
misses but that doesn't necessarily mean it was a bad.
Pick at the, time he was considered one of the
best edge, rushers if not the best edge rusher in that. Draft,

(03:43:00):
ANYWAYS i don't want to be too much soapbox. REACTION
i just there's a certain amount of creativity that we
sometimes lack in these. Moments it feels like it was
either a running back or is a miss for a
lot of. PEOPLE i, mean, yeah more a wide. Receiver
that's the other. Thing, well, yeah but that was the
ONE i tried to, WELL i tried to caution people about.

(03:43:21):
That i've been telling.

Speaker 7 (03:43:23):
Them you, know they they love the wide receiver, corps
love the wide receiver. Corps you heard that again at the.
Combine they love the wide receiver.

Speaker 6 (03:43:28):
Corps you.

Speaker 7 (03:43:30):
KNOW i, AGAIN i think THESE i think that with,
fans sometimes it's difficult to see the, vision you know
WHAT i. MEAN i think sometimes they see what he
is and not what could. Be AND i think sometimes
these coaches see practice and they see what could, be you,
know they see What Devon valley's doing in, practice they.

Speaker 5 (03:43:46):
See what mar is doing in p and SO i
think that's part of it. TOO i think that you,
know the fans get their get their hearts set, on you,
know on certain, things and.

Speaker 7 (03:43:54):
And so when it doesn't go that, way they feel.
Disappointed SUPP i, say you, know here's here's What i'd
like to.

Speaker 5 (03:43:58):
Happen But i'm not. Trying i'm not sitting there like
this has to, happen and then just sitting there being.
DISAPPOINTED i tell you what THOUGH i like to be
a blindsided, TODAY i liked it to be sometimes there's
still mystery to.

Speaker 7 (03:46:11):
Thing, like that's the Reason i'm not sitting here melting
down Like i'm sure some other hot take artists out there.

Speaker 5 (03:46:16):
Are end of the, DAY i think you look at this,
thing you, say, well wait a, MINUTE a.

got a certain amount of. Cash he remember the last,
time you guys were melting, down so they Took pats

Watching patch to.

Speaker 15 (03:48:14):
Btain it's gonna be amazing just to be able to
learn from him and grow AND i can't wait to
be a very aptive for him and just just to
help around that.

Speaker 5 (03:48:22):
Defense incredible. Stuff you can again find that interview up
in a short amount of, time including a podcast of tonight.
People it's an interesting thing for me by the way
that people like to go and podcast and listen back
to our coverage of the first. Round but, AGAIN i
think that's kind of cool AND i think if you
can sort of fast forward to spots where you just

(03:48:43):
want to hear the, reaction the instant, reaction and it is.
VISCERAL i, Mean i'll certainly even, say like you AND
i we talked about it earlier this, hour we were
both surprised by The baron, pick and that was of
Course Jade, baron and we'll have continued coverage about that pick.
Tomorrow but, YEAH I i think there was just a
lot of. Scenarios you feel like you cover it over
the several months the pre draft, Process we go to the,

(03:49:05):
combine we go to The Senior, bowl you get a
sense you're talking to, people what will The broncos be interested?
In what are they going to be looking? For and
and as much AS i PREACH bpa AND i preach
just add good, players you can't, help but once in
a while frame it in a way that also addresses

(03:49:26):
needs and that and that maybe is a process for
me THAT i need to continue to check as we
continue to do this every. Year, WELL i think that's
the other.

Speaker 7 (03:49:33):
THING i think fans look at this through the lens
of what do we, need let's go fix, that instead
of looking at it the way that they look at,
it which, is you, know what's the best player that's available,
here and we'll figure it out once, well you, know
once we get good, player we'll keep stacking good players
and we'll figure it out as.

Speaker 5 (03:49:47):
Far as the rest of it.

Speaker 7 (03:49:48):
Goes and SO i think that that that mindset can
be a difficult adapt for some. People you, know you
look around your, life what's going on in your, life
your personal, life and you, say all, right well what
DO i need to fix and we'll fix, that all,
Right but that's not how this. Operates AND i think
that's that's a different lens you gotta look. Through and
once you do, that it makes it easier to understand
the thought, process.

Speaker 5 (03:50:07):
Right and they explained the thought processes, perfectly and it's
more or less what we thought was gonna be the
case after the sort of shock warhoff that they ended
up selecting a. Cornerback, yeah in the first. Round, LIKE
i was genuinely.

Speaker 7 (03:50:19):
SURPRISED i, think if you look at The anthony the
things get the video out, There SO i was definitely.

Speaker 5 (03:50:23):
SURPRISED i was. Definitely, Yeah, well somebody called me, out they, saying,
like you don't look like somebody that's that's excited about the.
Pick AND i said that just. Sunned, yeah that's what it.
Was i'm, like just, whoa because we were sitting there
in the waning moments of the clock and we're, thinking,
okay trade, back running, back maybe you Consider Matthew golden
here like like there was a few AND i know you.

(03:50:44):
Weren't i'm just, saying, like, DUDE i, mean here's the.

Speaker 7 (03:50:47):
Thing everything i'd been told was lining, up and everybody
been laughing at, me talking about that's. True they're gonna trade,
Up they're gonna do, this they're gonna do. That everything
that i'd been told lined up and was lining up
for exactly WHAT i thought it was gonna, be based
on the conversations THAT i, had and it line. Up
we're there at, twenty we're on the, clock and then
all of a sudden that you, know a player that
wasn't expected and they had a higher grade THAN i
THINK i, anticipated or MAYBE i didn't account for and

(03:51:10):
and went that. Way SO i you, know for, me
it was like there was a personal validation in that
moment before the, pick because all these, PEOPLE i mean
just everybody sitting, There Merciless Holley.

Speaker 5 (03:51:19):
Allbright's the only ones say they're not trading.

Speaker 7 (03:51:21):
Up look at all these, people and then they came
out and they told you, know they were never considering.

Speaker 5 (03:51:23):
It that wasn't a real. Thing there's a bunch of.

Speaker 7 (03:51:25):
Bunks so you, know for, me there was a validating
moment there followed by getting blindsided by who the pick.
Was so it was a combination of. Both AND i
LOVE i love the fact THAT i, AGAIN i love this.
JOB i don't ever want it to get old or feel.
Trite AND i love the fact THAT i could feel.

Speaker 5 (03:51:39):
Surprised, yeah and then they certainly got us as like
somebody that's been on the trail of this for. Months,
yeah they certainly got to do. It and he got.
Me AND i love the fact that they got me
because they you, know it's been a few, years And
i'll even, say like k sports, is we're covering. THIS
i didn't spend a lot of time talking about him
at pick, twenty and that's on me a little. BIT

(03:51:59):
i GUESS i just didn't think he'd be. There and it's,
AGAIN i love the. REMINDER i love the reminder THAT
i When i'm talking ABOUT bp And i'm truly talking ABOUT,
BPA i NEED i need to cover all of those.
BASES i briefly like addressed offensive line BECAUSE i think
you get to a point of it where you're you're feeling, Like,

(03:52:20):
okay NOW i need to REACH i need to think
about positions THAT i haven't. Considered BUT i Knew Will
johnson wouldn't be the. Pick, YEAH i never consider saw
that coming down the. Pipe we knew that wasn't gonna
Get AND i had somebody earlier arguing with, me, like
BECAUSE i said that for, me outside Of Travis, hunter
WHO i actually think is gonna be a wide receiver
in the pro, LEVEL i thought he was gonna be a,
corner but they're gonna use him at both they're In.

(03:52:41):
Jacksonville BUT i SAID I i considered him the best
corner in the.

Speaker 6 (03:52:46):
DRAFT i.

Speaker 5 (03:52:46):
DID i, did and and so you guys did. Too
is because you did your board and and somebody's, like,
whoa everybody did. THAT i was, LIKE i don't. Think
SO i got immediately pushed back, like, oh, well what
WOULD I Will? Johnson? Uh Will Will johnson a year
ago in the conversation as one of the best, corners
but he got, injured.

Speaker 7 (03:53:03):
And now there's an injury just that now they think
he's got a degenerate knee. Condition and you know there
was the people WHO i remember when what's his face
from The, rams the running back got drafted and hit
the arthritic knees and everybody's, like you're you're an.

Speaker 5 (03:53:15):
Idiot he's gonna get drafted high as. Going but his
career was cut. Shorts that Was Todd. GURLEY i think
it was cut, short you, know eventually because of our
friend knees and so that's you know, again there's SOMETIMES
i think for, ME i think the thing to understand
and to always approach every situation in, is no matter
how confident you are in the knowledge that you, have

(03:53:37):
you don't know what you don't. Know five six six nine.
Zeros we wrap up our coverage here live From Broncos,
park powered By Common, Spirit Ryan, Evergs benjamin Oal bridgen
And wi'll be back tomorrow three o'clock live from The
broncos facility. Here very excited to not only break down
what we what happened. Tonight there's still a lot of
other things to get, to but the the other thing

(03:53:58):
is is sort of look ahead what The broncos are
going to be doing this One sertan of the boys
are now the masters Of evil pronounced with a very
hard e and hard vill nice and make sure you
elongate your pronunciation and. Whispers you got toar your mustache, too, Right, yeah,
yeah of, course, yeah, man this IS i don't. Know
LIKE i, Said i'm pretty. Excited Will denver do A

(03:54:20):
jfm trade acquire a veteran player running back or tight?
End so oh? Yeah so like they did last year
On day three where they ACQUIRED. JFM i don't, know,
MAN i mean some some of that is not really.
Known LIKE i think we kind of knew THAT jfm
might be available because of The Hassan reddick, situation but

(03:54:40):
we didn't officially know, that and we didn't know The
broncos were in ON jfmil until it. Happened SO i,
guess you. KNOW i sort of quipped a little bit
earlier today About Brice. Hall we're finding out that that
he might be, available AND i say for A day three,
Flyer AND i, mean maybe he's at the tail end
already of his, career but he's coming off of an.
Injury he certainly struggled last, year but their entire offense

(03:55:02):
struggled last year with The. JETS i wouldn't mind a
flyer on him if you're going to do something like.
That but you got to see how the board falls
to you a little. BIT i think that that's that's
kind of what ended up happening with THE jfm trade
is they wanted to get better on the defensive, line
so they just kind of they added a lot of.
Guys they, added they Added, roach they ADDED. Jfm, uh

(03:55:23):
they just kind of kept adding to that group and
hopes to improve.

Speaker 4 (03:55:26):
It.

Speaker 5 (03:55:27):
Yeah the fact they got everybody back to BE, dj
BRINGING dj. Back we even see that one WITH Dj.
Jones you, KNOW i didn't think that was gonna be.
Feasible they managed to do. That so, YEAH I i you,
Know i'm interested to see what happens. TOMORROW i think
you're gonna see skill position players. PROBABLY i don't believe
wide receivers that you, know is the. Direction, again, GUYS
i do believe they'll add a body to the. ROOM
i don't believe it's a pressing.

Speaker 6 (03:55:47):
Priority.

Speaker 5 (03:55:48):
Uh AND i, KNOW i don't know WHY i keep
getting so many questions About Luther. Burden of all, people
he's a three route guy who's a light slot, guy doesn't,
Block like what do you, want what do He where
does he fit? Here he doesn't even Fit SO i,
LIKE i DON'T i don't know what to do with.
That somebody's call me a homer BECAUSE i liked the.

(03:56:08):
Pick oh well know, whatever right? Whatever, Man, yeah it's,
FINE i don't. Care five six six nine, zero okare
with Commas, Beard i'll text line all. Right so final
thoughts here on the on the first day of the,
draft you, know getting the big surprise that that that
popped earlier in the draft was the trade up to
number Two Travis hunter going To. Jacksonville but you said

(03:56:29):
that they really liked.

Speaker 7 (03:56:30):
Him, yeah we were talking about that for a few.
HOURS i didn't believe they were gonna get it. DONE
i knew it WAS i knew they were. Trying in the,
END i just did not believe they were going to
get it. Done they did get it, done and you.

Speaker 5 (03:56:40):
Know, dave we're all, talking we're all sitting here talking about.
THAT i was, like, Man i'm not. Sure i'm not.

Speaker 7 (03:56:44):
Sure i'm not, sure but they. Did they managed to
get it, done and you, know good for The browns
got a heck of a. HAUL I i you, Know
jvill Really jacksonville really paid to go Get Travis. Hunter
so it's gonna be. INTERESTING i, mean they paid the
price for getting two. Positions i'll put it that. Way
let's see. HERE i want to go look at the
draft the points by the points, chart they either gave

(03:57:05):
up a second or a first above asking price to
do that to move up three.

Speaker 5 (03:57:11):
Spots you were talking about The Jaane, Pierce James, pears The,
drafs and The, YEAH i was gonna say that The
James pierce was the biggest. REACH i don't. KNOW i
MEAN i had n't mocked in the first. ROUND i
JUST i, mean you gave up a future first to do, it,
yes you, know and the guys above you didn't have.
TO i may trade up for a, quarterback you, know higher.
Spot so, yeah you, KNOW i that wouldn't was kind

(03:57:31):
of weird to. ME i don't think there was any
other quote unquote reaches so. MUCH i thought it was
that was a little early For Tyler booker to The,
cowboys but once again he was guy to kind of
went expect to go in the first. Round you. Know
it is for all the fireworks that was sort of
projected that this draft might. SEE i don't know if

(03:57:51):
we saw that many you saw kind of what we described, as,
hey somebody would trade back in for a, quarterback and
sure enough The giants did.

Speaker 18 (03:57:58):
That.

Speaker 5 (03:57:58):
Yeah, Yeah Patty golden going to The. PACKERS i guess
that's a surprise because the backers never take wide. Receiver
but then you mocked them my receiver to, them SO
i thought it was going to be a receiver there
for them one way or the.

Speaker 6 (03:58:09):
Other.

Speaker 5 (03:58:09):
Yeah, NO i, mean in the, end this feels this
feels pretty. CLOSE i always like kind of a. Revet you,
know we'll have time to kind of go back over.
Tomorrow BUT i always kind of like rehashing a little
bit because, sometimes, again the consensus is not what the
rest of the league is. Thinking like we have a
consensus in the media and as draft, analysts but that

(03:58:31):
doesn't mean what the league tends to think about these.
Guys so now you're looking at this thaying a lot
of these guys actually had going in the first.

Speaker 7 (03:58:37):
Round maybe a couple, Here jackson is the highest guy
didn't have quite going in the first. Round, Okay, yeah
there's there's two guys in here THAT i didn't like
a DART.

Speaker 5 (03:58:45):
I, didn't you, Know, yeah but you didn't you acknowledge
that could. HAPPEN i acknowledged in the draft that could have.

Speaker 7 (03:58:50):
It the rest those, GUYS i THINK i had every
other single person in the first round in the first,
round so thirty out of thirty. Two as far as
first round, Picks i'll take a little pride in that
there were some exacts, there but mostly it, was you,
know LIKE i, said you had disparity of grade on
some of these, things and so teams Were jackie AND a,
right you, know, looking, okay DO i need to take
this guy or take this?

Speaker 5 (03:59:09):
