Are the Mariners red hot despite their poor pitching, Marc lays it all out on the line. The NFL Draft is Thursday, and Marc pleads that the Seahawks don't draft a WR at 18, but he will be fine with a tight end, but is it a bad idea to draft a WR at 18 if the Seahawks take the best one? Nick Baumgardner, senior writer for The Athletic wrote a new story, "NFL Draft power rankings: Which teams made best picks over past 5 years,?" so where do the Seahawks rank... And we hit to all fields with audio from Klay Thompson and a jealous girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming off in Easter weekend, a NBA Playoffs weekend, an
NHL Playoffs weekend, and WrestleMania weekend. John Cena becoming the
WWE World Champion for the seventeenth time. I was pretty
shocked watching that last night. So a lot of things
to get to. We had some listeners in the MJ
(00:22):
and the Midday audience out in Vegas down at Allegiance
Stadium this weekend. But let's start with the Seattle Mariners,
who I won't say they're red hot, but they've won
nine of their last twelve games, and you know, and
they're doing it not because of their pitching, but in
(00:44):
spite of their pitching. Yesterday, Luis Castillo not quite having
a good season. To be nice, actually, he's kind of
having a really crappy season of all the pitchers in
the starting rotation, and but he was able to do
what he had to do to get control and help
(01:06):
the Mariners win yesterday over the Toronto Blue Jays eight
to three. And I like what I'm seeing. Obviously, cal
Rawley's coming on, you know, my feelings on Julio.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You know, eventually, April's gonna be May May's gonna be June,
and June's gonna be past the All Star breaks, so
we hope that he picks it up. But Luis Castillo,
despite the fact that he got to win and wins
me nothing amongst Major League Baseball players pitchers these days,
I mean absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Jacob de Gram won a Cy.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Young Award with a losing record, so it wins mean
absolutely nothing. He didn't have an awful game yesterday, but
he gave up ten hits in five innings, and that's
a lot. And you would heard his name mentioned time
and time again throughout the off season about him being
(02:09):
on the trading block, and it was a little surprising
for me in the sense that I just didn't, you know.
I was like, really, you're gonna trade Luis Castillo the
ace of your staff when he's the guy that you
(02:30):
need that has been lights out since you acquired him
from the Cincinnati Reds, his former team. Now I see
why it seems like he's hit that wall. And it's
not just yesterday that I'm going on for Luis Castillo.
It's really all season long. He's just not looked right.
(02:53):
Aside from a start here or a start there, he
just hasn't been the guy that you knew every fifth
day for the Mariners was going to come in and
was going to lead this team. And I go back to,
you know, every game this year, there's only one game
this entire season was against the Tigers or he lasted
(03:16):
more than five innings, and that was the second game
of well not the second game of the season, but
it was the second series of the season where he
went seven innings. And ever since then, there's just something off.
Maybe I'm making too much of it. I don't know,
(03:36):
but it feels sort of like, I don't know, we've
seen this before, and when a guy hits a wall,
he usually hits it. I watch him his velocities down,
and it just seems that there's just something off about
Luis Castillo. Hopefully I'm wrong about him, Hopefully I am,
(03:59):
but something just appears to be wrong where he's not
the guy that we have gotten and grown accustomed to
here in Seattle since coming over from Cincinnati. Am I
being too harsh on him? I don't think so, I think,
and I'm not being too too harsh. I just think
(04:19):
that I'm I'm looking at him right now and I'm
saying he's better than this, and maybe he will be.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Maybe he will.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But one start this season going past five innings is
a bad sign. He's made five starts so far, at
the end of March against the A's to start the year,
and then four and April against the Tigers, Astros Reds,
(04:49):
and then yesterday against Toronto. Something looks off, That's all
I'm saying. Something just it just doesn't the velocity he
isn't there, the controls a little bit of ratic at time.
His whip is won six to zero, which is seventy
fifth in baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right now, I don't know, I don't know. What do
you think?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It just to me, I'm looking at it and I'm
saying something doesn't look quite right for me.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
It just it just looks a little bit, you know
it is? What is now? Cal Rawley, what can you say?
He's tied for the major league leading home runs. He
clubbed his ninth to move into a tie, and he's bored.
Is he loved playing and feasting on the Blue Jays,
pitching his seventh in the regular season all time in Toronto.
(05:42):
Rowdy Telez, the guy who looks like he should be
playing and everybody's Sunday Slow Pitch YMCA Softball League. He
homered yesterday. He homered in every game in this series.
He had a solo shot on Friday, the Grand Slam,
which was just as soon as it left the bat, You're.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Like, gone, gone. Didn't even need to see the.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Uh the outfield cam to know that it was that
it was gone. So maybe rowdy is coming on right now.
I don't know, but this team is finding a way
to win. Now, what did I mention about guys going
six innings or more? Outside of Brian Wu, who had
(06:28):
a seven innings start on Friday, Seattle got just nine
to two thirds innings from both Logan Gilbert and Luis
Castillo the next two games.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What does that do? It taxes the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It makes things tougher on Dan Wilson because remember, going
into this season, we all said this team is only
as good as their starting rotation. So the starting rotation
has been okay except for Logan Gilbert and Brian Wu.
(07:05):
We don't know about Kirby because he hasn't pitched yet.
We'll find out about him coming up, but that to
me is just a little disconcerting. Outside of Wu has
gone six innings in all four of his starts. The
Mariners has just got two starts of six innings or more,
and there are other eighteen games Gilbert and Castillo with
(07:28):
seven innings one Spryce Miller has yet to go deeper
than five and two thirds innings and four starts Emerson
Hancock and Luis fail Castillo with Luis F. Castillo, Oh,
don't even get me started on him. I hope I
never see him in a Mariner's uniform again. So now
the bullpen has thrown the second most innings in baseball
(07:50):
at ninety. So it's been kind of a You've relied
a lot on Tacoma and having to bring guys in
and out and in and out, and Anto's and this
guy and that, and it's it's been a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's been a lot. But we'll see. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Obviously for me, Matt Brash, who's still rehabbing from Tommy
John surgery last season, Gonna need him back in a
big way. Definitely need to see him back in the
bullpen to set up to get things to Munyos, who
what can you say about Andres Munos? He's been nothing
(08:30):
short of spectacular, absolutely unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So I will say this about the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They were lights out for the most part this weekend
YEP twelve and two, twelve and one thirds innings, allowed
just two runs, one earn on six to six and
four walks. In the previous series against Cincinnati, they allowed
ten runs, ten earn runs, I might add, So the
Bullpenn's been good, which I didn't expect, especially without Brash
(09:04):
being in there. Maybe Thornton's starting to come around a
little bit right now, which is good. We need him
to get things going. So all in all, hey, I
said before they went on the road, six and three,
try to go six and three. They're four and two,
so they take two out of three against the Red Sox.
They get to that six and three, and that is
(09:26):
a win. See, Unlike Jerry Depoto, who's okay with fifty
four percent, I'm better with sixty eight percent. That's what
you should stry for. Sixty eight percent winning percentage. Then
you'll definitely be in the postseason. So all in all,
good year, a good season, well, good series. Excuse me,
(09:49):
in Toronto, in Cincinnati. Now they go to Boston. The
Red Sox are playing right now, and something they call
Patriots Day up in New England and the Mariners have
a travel day as they head to Beantown before they
come back for a six game homestand against the Marlins
(10:10):
in Angels. That'll be interesting to see how many people
show up to that series. Marlins can't even draw on
their own ballpark. They got six and a half thousand
people a week ago for their series against Arizona in Miami.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They like, just you know what, I'm waiting for baseball.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
To get the Marlins out of Miami and let the
Hurricanes take over. By the way, I don't know if
any of you know this. That is in kaya Ocho.
That is where they built that ballpark in the place
of where the Orange Bowl used to be.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And let's just basically make.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
That into a football stadium and get the Marlins out
of Miami. That's a whole other thing. Also, it's Draft week, folks.
It is Draft week, and.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
We are.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
We are ready, we are ready for We are your
best home for NFL Draft coverage. Hugh Millen's gonna join
us here in studio coming up on Wednesday, so we're
looking forward to that. We'll have draft guests looking forward
to booking perhaps some players this.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Week in.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Without any equivocation or hesitation, I hope and pray that
either Colston Lovelin or Tyler Warren is there at eighteen
on Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
One of the things that I've understood and even watching
from afar of John Schneider for nearly fifteen years, He's
the most unpredictable general manager to prognosticate what he's going
to do in the draft. We never know what Schneider's
going to I mean, you know, I don't have to
tell you anything you don't know. But if you're gonna
(12:07):
stay at eighteen and you can't trade down and out
of there and pick up more picks, I want a
tight end. I want Colston Lovelin. I want Tyler Warren.
I would take Mason Taylor, but I would do that later,
maybe in the second round, if he's still there at
fifty or fifty two. I'm also okay with Nick Ammin Worri.
(12:31):
This dude is a stud first team All American, first
Team All SEC from South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I wouldn't have an issue with that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I would also not have an issue with Tyler Booker,
the guard out of Alabama or the tackle out of
Texas Kelvin Banks Junior.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So there are a plethora.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Of options for John Schneider and the Seahawks, a plethora
of them.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I just hope he makes the right choice.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I would imagine if he doesn't go guard at eighteen,
you will definitely certainly see one at fifty and or
fifty two in the second round. I would venture to
say I cannot overstate this enough. The most monumental mistake
(13:29):
that John Schneider could make on Thursday night with the
eighteen pick in the draft is taking a wide receiver.
This team does not need a wide receiver right now.
I mean, do they sure, but they need other things
much worse, much, much worse.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It's a luxury pick for me.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And look who Sam Darnold had to throw to in
Minnesota as his tight end.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
TJ.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Hawkinson stud one of the best tight ends in the NFL.
I would say, let's make the tight end position great
again in Seattle. But it's never been great. And I
don't understand that even when you had my boy, my
former schoolmate from the you, Jimmy Graham, it can you
(14:19):
can never try to you can never find a way
to get the tight end and maybe, just maybe under
Clint Kobiak, that this is something that the Seahawks will
do for the first time in franchise history. Make the
tight end position relevant and hopefully make it prominent because
(14:42):
that's what we need here. That could be Sam Darnold's
best friend, the tight end, just like it was in
Minnesota with TJ.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Hawkinson.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now he also had Jefferson and Addison and you know
he had he had more weapons than then Hamas. Okay,
but that being said, we don't have those weapons justin.
Jefferson is not walking through that door here. You know,
I have a lot of faith in Jackson Smith and Jigba.
(15:15):
To get to that level, you've got to be the
less than one percent in the league.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
So from my standpoint, I'm saying, oh, I want to
tight end so bad.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
My biggest problem would be I don't think Lovelin or Warren.
I think one of them could be there, but there's
a chance that neither one of them will be there.
And if that's the case, then that is just oh man,
I just don't know. Like from I would be, I
(15:59):
will be over of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Thursday,
Softy Hugh and Dick will be out there doing the
show as well. Ian will be out there doing his
show from one to three. I will be so livid
if the Seahawks take your receiver at eighteen.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I can't even tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I just there isn't a guy, and I don't care
if Tetoroah McMillan drops to eighteen. If he drops to eighteen,
there's a reason why he dropped to eighteen. Okay, there's
a reason why. Do some background research, do some things
that might not come up, and you're going to I
(16:41):
live in my mother's basement and I'm forty three years old.
NFL draft dot Com. Do some research on Tetoroah McMillan,
find some things out that don't necessarily reflect in the
statistics column. I don't want him. I don't want him
here in Seattle. I don't want Luther Burnon, I don't
want Matthew Golden. I don't want any of them. I
(17:03):
want a tight end I would take if they take
Nick Emm and Warri, fine, you make one of the
top five defenses even better. And I think this guy's
got Studd written all over him. I don't have a
problem with that. If you took Shamar Stewart, who've I've
followed since coming out of A Miami Dade County Rick
Ross reference. I wouldn't have a problem with that coming
(17:25):
out of Texas A and M. If you took Walter
Nolan speaking to Texas A and M. Shamar Stewart's former
teammate at A and M who played this past season
for Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss, I don't have a
problem with that. Please, John Schneider, please do not take
a receiver. Don't need one right now, not in the
first round. Get Isaiah Bond later in the second round.
(17:48):
His stock is dropping big time. Get him later. Get
Isaiah Bond from Texas later, who could end up being
better than his teammate Matthew Golden. Isaiah Bond used to
be at Alabama, by the way, and he caught that
believable catch in the Iron Bowl against Auburn that won
Alabama the game a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So those are my thoughts. Take with that.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
What you will You want to leave a voice text,
Go to the new improved iHeartRadio app. Look for ninety
three to three KJR. Hit the microphone icon button. Do
it right there. You want to leave a normal text,
go to the unsponsored four nine four five one. Text
line four nine four five one.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
We have a lot to get to.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Am I? Am I making too much of a big
deal Luis Castillo? Or is he really hit a wall?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Speaking of John Schneider, where do the Seahawks rank over
the course of the last half decade amongst the teams
in the NFL in terms of where.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
They have drafted?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
That's next on MJ and the Midday ninety three to
three KJR FM didn't happen sooner.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I live for this.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I've covered three of them, four of them. I've been
at NFL draft headquarters, you know, during the Bill Belichick
Tom Brady era on Draft Night in New England at
Gillette Stadium, and I just love it, I really I
remember when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I was down in
Tampa when they had the number two pick in the
(19:27):
twenty ten draft and they took Jeral McCoy after the
Detroit Lions took and Dominkinsoue number one. And I remember
asking the coach at that time, Raheem Morris, would you
have taken Jeral McCoy if if you had the first
overall pick? And he said We're very happy with jeral McCoy. Now,
some people could argue he might have even had a
(19:49):
better career than a Dominkin sue he didn't win any
Super Bowls. But if you look at the numbers yet,
you don't know. But all I know is I can't
wait for this draft and you should. All this is
this to me is where if you get it right
in the draft, you don't have to make desperate financial
(20:10):
decisions later on overpaying for free agents. I don't have
a problem with adding free agents, but if you get
it right during the draft. Okay, Like I brought this
up last week, Bill Belichick, and I've cited examples. And
I was in Boston when Belichick was the coach of
(20:32):
the Patriots and the guy who ran the show. He
was the coach, he was the general manager, he's the
president of football operations. He did everything but sweep the
floors and clean the toilets in Foxborough. He can't pick
skilled position players in the first round.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Can't.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Dude picked Sony Michelle over Lamar Jackson picked Nikhil Harry
over AJ Brown, Deebo, Samuel DK metcalf and Terry McLaurin
picked Mat mac Jones to replace Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's the guy that he thought.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Bill Belichick wanted to prove that he could win without Brady,
so he picked mac efin Jones.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
How'd that work out?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Bill?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Maybe, Bill, that's why you're in Chapel Hill right now. Yes,
you got a twenty four year old girlfriend who's using
your clout on social media. But there's a reason you're
not coaching in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He can't pick offensive skilled players in the first round.
That's his biggest thing. And he could do some other
things in the first round. He's had good drafts in
the past. But if you get the draft right, it'll
set up your franchise for a decade and you can
contend for.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
The Super Bowl every year. All right, So there is
an article.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Our buddy the athletics, Nick Bombgardner wrote this article who
we had on last week, and I liked Nick a lot.
It's very interesting he took the time over the last
five years. Good fine by Christopher Kidd, Good fine by you, Chris,
who has the highest draft rankings of any team the
(22:23):
last five years. The top three don't surprise me. Maybe
you could switch them put. I would have thought that
Kansas City might have been number one, but they're number two.
Who's number one? The Detroit Lions. Top fifty picks twelve
of them Pro Bowls thirteen starting seasons thirty five. Today sewell,
(22:44):
I'm on raw, Saint Brown, Aiden Hutchinson, Jamiir Gibbs, Kirby,
Joseph Brian Branch, Sam Laporta. According to Nick bomb Gardner quote,
Detroit has put a masterclass on how to rebuild an
organization from the ground up.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Was he perfect?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
He took Jeff Acoud out of Ohio State in twenty twenty.
Nobody's perfect. Number two. The three the team who's won
three of the last six Super Bowls, The Kansasy Chiefs.
No surprise there, Brett viach Create Humphrey Trey Smith. Worst
pick Clyde Edwards Hilaire Number three. Baltimore Ravens, Eric DaCosta,
(23:36):
top fifty picks eight of them Pro Bowls eleven starting
season thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Best pick.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Kyle Hamilton, best value pick Nambi Madubuque Hamilton and Tyler
Lindebaum in twenty two was amazing for Baltimore. Worst pick
David Oja Yabu Edge Rusher, second round pick in twenty
(24:05):
twenty two, Number four. A team that I know all
too much about, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jason Light Top
fifty pick seven Pro Bowls, five starting seasons, thirty four
best pick, Tristan Wurf's best value. I love this guy,
and I love his name even more, Yaya Diabi from Louisville.
(24:28):
Wurfs is only twenty six and has become the first
player in NFL history to earn All Pro honors at
both right and left tackle. They also got a guide
by the name of Antoine Winfield in twenty twenty along
with Kaitott and Bucky Irving and Cody Mock. And I
will tell you to add to Nick baumb Gardner's analysis
and research the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If you go back
(24:50):
and look at last year's draft, they're the only team
in NFL history where all of their draft picks made
the opening fifty three man roster on opening Day. Never
happened before in NFL history. Jason Light, He's elite. Surprised
(25:11):
about this one, really surprised about this one.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
But okay.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Dallas Cowboys fifth, Top fifty pick six Pro Bowls fifteen
Best pick, Micah Parsons. Worst pick Mazzie Smith, I don't
even remember him. Best value, Deron Bland, Parsons, Ceedee Lamb,
Trevon Diggs, Tyler Smith were all elite picks from twenty
twenty to twenty two. All right number six to Miami Dolphins.
(25:40):
Top fifty picks eight Pro Bowls, two starting seasons, thirty
five best pick Jayalen Waddle, Worst pick, Noah, I'm not
even gonna try to pronounce your last name begins with
an eye. Best value Devon Aishad who wears the helmet condom?
Remember the helmet condom? Right number seven, the Cincinnati band.
(26:02):
We gotta listen. I want to get We got a
lot of good stuff coming up in hitting to all fields.
I'm just gonna run through the Cincinnati seven, Buffalo eight,
Philly nine Chargers, ten, Mark James, Christopher Kidd. Where are
our Seahawks? You just named the top ten the last
five years? Where are the Seahawks number eleven, Chicago Bears,
(26:26):
number twelve, Pittsburgh Steelers and drum roll, Christopher Kidd. Here
we go bang number thirteen, Seattle Seahawks grade of seven
point nine two Top fifty picks nine Pro Bowls for
starting season's twenty seven best pick, Devin Witherspoon, worst pick
(26:49):
Dwayne Eskridge, best value Reek one. Seahawks, according to Nick Baumgardner,
have made some to be determined selections Charles cross Boy
mafe but hit gold with Woolan and Witherspoon Wooland not
so much last season though, right, he did regress, right, Chris,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, a rough year. Rough here.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I think the ceiling is really high for him. Eas
I did too, and I think Mike McDonald's sees it
as well.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Okay, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
It says the results could be better, but they could
also be much worse. Number thirteen, So can I just
tell you what. We'll talk to Nick Bomgardner hopefully this
week as well. We want to get him back on
I like Nick. He was, uh, he's Nick's a funny
guy and he's good at what. He's really good at
his job. I just I think Seattle should be top
ten here. I think Seattle should be top ten. I
(27:37):
think they've done better than Chicago. I mean, you can't
give Chicago credit for taking Caleb Williams. They sucked bad
enough to get him that you can't give him credit
for taking Caleb Williams. No, they're better than Chicago. They've
been better than the Chargers. Chargers again, they sucked bad
enough to get Justin Herbert at number six. That doesn't
(27:58):
give I mean, no, no, that's my only issue. I
think the Seahawks should be close to top ten, close
to top ten. That's all Eagle. Oh, by the way,
I kind of glossed over the Eagles. Eagles at number nine.
Woo Howie Roseman playing chess while everybody else playing checkers.
Best pick Jalen Hurts. Now I'll top that. Maybe the
(28:22):
best pick Jalen Carter. Worst pick another Jalen Jalen Rieger.
They took him over Justin Jefferson. But then they went
out and they traded for aj Brown. Best value, Nakobe Dean.
Howie Roseman has continued to feast in just about every
area of the draft. Getting Jalen Carter at number nine
(28:43):
was this deal bringing in Cam Jurgens before Jason Kelsey's
retirement made for one of the best picks in the
last five years.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I would put the Seahawks a little higher, that's all
I'm saying, just a little higher.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Your thoughts on the Seahawks. Were they rank in the
last five years of the draft? Very interesting there. I
love when they when they great, I love it, absolutely
love it all. Right, Coming up next a question you
shouldn't ask an athlete after his season's over. And hell
(29:20):
hath no fury like an X scorned hitting all fields
MJ in the Midday.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Next on ninety three to three kJ rtem.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well, well, well, hell hath no fury like an ex
girlfriend scorned. Hannah Cavender talking trash about the guy who
will be the starting quarterback at the U will take
the place of the guy who will be the number
one overall pick in the NFL Draft this Thursday night,
mister cam Ward, And I'm speaking of Carson Beck, former
(30:06):
Georgia Bulldogs quarterback. So she ran into the President of
the United States of America's granddaughter, who is a tennis player.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, she's a No, she's a golfer. She's a golfer
at the U.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
She ran into her at her and her twin sister
ran into her at the UFC pay per view last
weekend in Miami, And Hannah Cavender just couldn't keep her
mouth shut about her ex boyfriend Carson Beck.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
So basically we.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Were supposed to like let me go to Nashville, right,
and they want to break.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Out all the shots yeah on his phone like this,
like you get this, but like does he have like friends,
like you wouldn't talk to you like an ego.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
He's like he wanted to stop them like take a
picture on the barn.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I'd be a rrass like I'm sorry, Like I'd be
like very embarrass like oh my god.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Yeah, and I feel like I broke up with him,
and I broke with him and like all these you know,
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I didn't break up with it. I broke up with
him because they're like who what kind of like I
had to do it like the most glow way because
that's the my friends.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
All I heard was the word like every other word but.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Like it he was like, And I was like, I'd
break it up because he was like gat me, I
broke up because like he has no friends, Hannah, move onward,
move on.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
He upgraded. He's already upgraded. Okay. He he came down
to Miami.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
And yeah, you got him down to the three oh
five and then he looked around.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
He's like I'm making four million dollars from the U.
I'm making another six million endorsements, and I got girls
that are twelves, not tens, not eleven's, but twelves coming
at me.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I think I'm gonna play the field, like, just just
move on.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Move on, keep Carson Beck's name out of your mouth,
let the man live, let them man if you move
onward and let him move on?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
And Chris, is this a lot of like come on, man?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Eh, some girls do that, right, right? I mean you
could tell she's a very young girl too, isn't young?
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (32:17):
He got a young one in the mindset, because there's
a lot of twenty one year old whatever age she is,
that wouldn't even think about going out there and saying
this type of stuff. Like you said, he just move on,
just move on, right, You don't have to talk bad
about the person or whatever the case may be. She
clearly doesn't do that, as you can as you can
tell what the auto we just played.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But like, how could you tell with her mannersms?
Speaker 4 (32:39):
How she's laughing, aggling, laughing like everything.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
So it just it's just funny to hear that. But
by the way, don't corrupt the president's granddaughter is a
freaking it's like eighteen years old.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
She I don't think she's graduated high school yet. Okay, yeah,
so even you.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Know what I mean, like, don't corrupt her and like
get but like like I was like, like she listen.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I've already predicted.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Miami has this stud kid who is a four star
prospect coming out of Atlanta named Luke Nicol.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He's awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
He will take over for Carson Beck when Carson Beck
is gone. Carl Luke Nicol will have be a power
couple with a president's granddaughter. Just just don't like, oh
god like should only be used as a verb.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
A verb. Chris, I gotta tell you a funny story.
One night what you got?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
So I was hosting the Jim Rome Show and I
had to drive all the way to freaking Orlando because
I didn't have a com Rex box, which I do
own one now, but unfortunately I left it in Florida
because I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Half Polish and I'm not that smart.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
So I didn't have a com rex box at the
time because it couldn't afford one, So I had to
drive to do Orlando.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I did do the Rome Show all week long.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
He was on vacation and I had to drive an
hour and forty five minutes each way from Saint Petersburg
to Orlando. And it was like a Wednesday night and
this girl who I was gonna go out with that
Weekend's like, oh, I want to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I want to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I'm like, listen, you know what's it's been a long week.
I gotta save my voice. It's just i'd rather not no, no, no,
I really want to talk to you. So we talked
in the phone on my way home. I was in
a very surly mood, and every word out of her
mouth the first time we talked to the phone was
like so. I was like, and she was like and
(34:20):
I was like and I was like oh oh, like
like like like oh, I.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Was like oh.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
She was like oh God, I'd be like oh.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
So.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I finally said to her, I said, do you know
you say the word like a lot? You would have
thought that I said that she was fat and ugly.
I didn't, but that's how she reacted. And you could
tell somebody in her life, probably her parents or somebody
in a very authoritarian position, had told her that whatever
(34:50):
her name was, let's call her.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Amy Amy. I don't remember her name, Amy.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
You should probably just kind of And we never went
out because I told you, I told you I did not.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I can't do it. I just can't do it.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
But I was like, and she was like, and he
was like, oh, I didn't break up with him because
like hee me, I broke up with like because like.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
He has no friends, and.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Like, oh god, oh my god, you did him a favor, Hannah.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
You did him a favor. Seriously, you did him a favor.
Trust me on that one.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Carson live your best life and Hannah lived your best life.
Please just keep his name out of it. And don't
post videos on TikTok about your ex boyfriend. It makes
you look petty, small and bitter. Which just move on,
all right. The Dallas Mavericks, they got that ass kicked
(35:48):
by the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Man, I wish I had. I didn't touch the game.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
God, I wish I would, I thought because Jah was questionable,
so I didn't know. You know, I'm like, I don't
want to take him if it didn't matter. They that
ass kicked it after the game. Let's just say the
media and you could tell Klay Thompson, former Warrior, former
four time world champion, wanted to answer this question, but
he just couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I know what you know now if you've made the
same ship for class on, who.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Try to do that to me? Don't do that.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
That's kind of a ridiculous question because like there's I
don't own a time machine, and I don't believe in
going back listening back, if I didn't have my whole career,
I would not be round at and I would have
been able to persevere it through two really hard injuries.
So I'm here in Dallas, and I enjoyed my time
and I'm looking forward to the future.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
The question was do you regret going to Dallas and
leaving Golden State? That look, do you regret it now now?
Seeing with the Luca being traded and everything. Oh, by
the way, I have an update and things are not
looking good for Nico Harrison. Can't piss off the owner
Patrick Dumont. Uh oh uh.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Oh uh oh, Nico uh oh. A lot of Nikos
making bad decisions.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Recently, Dallas Maverick's owner Patrick Dumont was reportedly frustrated with
Nico Harrison for not warning him how the fan base
would react to the Luka Doncicz trade quote. According to
Tim Cato, However, those team sources consistently express belief that
Dumont no longer sees Harrison as a figure with irreproachable
(37:24):
basketball expertise. Most notably, team and league sources say Dumont
has had frustration with Harrison not warning him or perhaps
even more dimmingly, being unaware of the fandom's outrage following
the trade. The same sources said it had some influence
over Dumont's decision to make Harrison appear for last week's
(37:45):
closed media event, which Harrison did not want to do.
End quote, what's the great century twenty one? It was
a lot of great twenty one? Zillow, Redfinn Nico. I
wouldn't be I wouldn't be owning in Dallas for much longer.
(38:06):
It doesn't appear that you will be around too much longer.
Former NFL executive, A guy who worked with the New
York Football Giants will join us coming up next, Mark
with a Mark Ross, Mark with a c Ross. Not
many guys you get on the show with Mark with
a c We will be joined by him next as
we get ready for Draft Week and your home for
the best NFL Draft coverage by Far and Away Sports
(38:31):
Radio ninety three to three kJ R FM
Coming off in Easter weekend, a NBA Playoffs weekend, an
NHL Playoffs weekend, and WrestleMania weekend. John Cena becoming the
WWE World Champion for the seventeenth time. I was pretty
shocked watching that last night. So a lot of things
to get to. We had some listeners in the MJ
(00:22):
and the Midday audience out in Vegas down at Allegiance
Stadium this weekend. But let's start with the Seattle Mariners,
who I won't say they're red hot, but they've won
nine of their last twelve games, and you know, and
they're doing it not because of their pitching, but in
(00:44):
spite of their pitching. Yesterday, Luis Castillo not quite having
a good season. To be nice, actually, he's kind of
having a really crappy season of all the pitchers in
the starting rotation, and but he was able to do
what he had to do to get control and help
(01:06):
the Mariners win yesterday over the Toronto Blue Jays eight
to three. And I like what I'm seeing. Obviously, cal
Rawley's coming on, you know, my feelings on Julio.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You know, eventually, April's gonna be May May's gonna be June,
and June's gonna be past the All Star breaks, so
we hope that he picks it up. But Luis Castillo,
despite the fact that he got to win and wins
me nothing amongst Major League Baseball players pitchers these days,
I mean absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Jacob de Gram won a Cy.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Young Award with a losing record, so it wins mean
absolutely nothing. He didn't have an awful game yesterday, but
he gave up ten hits in five innings, and that's
a lot. And you would heard his name mentioned time
and time again throughout the off season about him being
(02:09):
on the trading block, and it was a little surprising
for me in the sense that I just didn't, you know.
I was like, really, you're gonna trade Luis Castillo the
ace of your staff when he's the guy that you
(02:30):
need that has been lights out since you acquired him
from the Cincinnati Reds, his former team. Now I see
why it seems like he's hit that wall. And it's
not just yesterday that I'm going on for Luis Castillo.
It's really all season long. He's just not looked right.
(02:53):
Aside from a start here or a start there, he
just hasn't been the guy that you knew every fifth
day for the Mariners was going to come in and
was going to lead this team. And I go back to,
you know, every game this year, there's only one game
this entire season was against the Tigers or he lasted
(03:16):
more than five innings, and that was the second game
of well not the second game of the season, but
it was the second series of the season where he
went seven innings. And ever since then, there's just something off.
Maybe I'm making too much of it. I don't know,
(03:36):
but it feels sort of like, I don't know, we've
seen this before, and when a guy hits a wall,
he usually hits it. I watch him his velocities down,
and it just seems that there's just something off about
Luis Castillo. Hopefully I'm wrong about him, Hopefully I am,
(03:59):
but something just appears to be wrong where he's not
the guy that we have gotten and grown accustomed to
here in Seattle since coming over from Cincinnati. Am I
being too harsh on him? I don't think so, I think,
and I'm not being too too harsh. I just think
(04:19):
that I'm I'm looking at him right now and I'm
saying he's better than this, and maybe he will be.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Maybe he will.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But one start this season going past five innings is
a bad sign. He's made five starts so far, at
the end of March against the A's to start the year,
and then four and April against the Tigers, Astros Reds,
(04:49):
and then yesterday against Toronto. Something looks off, That's all
I'm saying. Something just it just doesn't the velocity he
isn't there, the controls a little bit of ratic at time.
His whip is won six to zero, which is seventy
fifth in baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right now, I don't know, I don't know. What do
you think?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It just to me, I'm looking at it and I'm
saying something doesn't look quite right for me.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
It just it just looks a little bit, you know
it is? What is now? Cal Rawley, what can you say?
He's tied for the major league leading home runs. He
clubbed his ninth to move into a tie, and he's bored.
Is he loved playing and feasting on the Blue Jays,
pitching his seventh in the regular season all time in Toronto.
(05:42):
Rowdy Telez, the guy who looks like he should be
playing and everybody's Sunday Slow Pitch YMCA Softball League. He
homered yesterday. He homered in every game in this series.
He had a solo shot on Friday, the Grand Slam,
which was just as soon as it left the bat, You're.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Like, gone, gone. Didn't even need to see the.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Uh the outfield cam to know that it was that
it was gone. So maybe rowdy is coming on right now.
I don't know, but this team is finding a way
to win. Now, what did I mention about guys going
six innings or more? Outside of Brian Wu, who had
(06:28):
a seven innings start on Friday, Seattle got just nine
to two thirds innings from both Logan Gilbert and Luis
Castillo the next two games.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What does that do? It taxes the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It makes things tougher on Dan Wilson because remember, going
into this season, we all said this team is only
as good as their starting rotation. So the starting rotation
has been okay except for Logan Gilbert and Brian Wu.
(07:05):
We don't know about Kirby because he hasn't pitched yet.
We'll find out about him coming up, but that to
me is just a little disconcerting. Outside of Wu has
gone six innings in all four of his starts. The
Mariners has just got two starts of six innings or more,
and there are other eighteen games Gilbert and Castillo with
(07:28):
seven innings one Spryce Miller has yet to go deeper
than five and two thirds innings and four starts Emerson
Hancock and Luis fail Castillo with Luis F. Castillo, Oh,
don't even get me started on him. I hope I
never see him in a Mariner's uniform again. So now
the bullpen has thrown the second most innings in baseball
(07:50):
at ninety. So it's been kind of a You've relied
a lot on Tacoma and having to bring guys in
and out and in and out, and Anto's and this
guy and that, and it's it's been a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's been a lot. But we'll see. We'll see.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Obviously for me, Matt Brash, who's still rehabbing from Tommy
John surgery last season, Gonna need him back in a
big way. Definitely need to see him back in the
bullpen to set up to get things to Munyos, who
what can you say about Andres Munos? He's been nothing
(08:30):
short of spectacular, absolutely unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So I will say this about the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They were lights out for the most part this weekend
YEP twelve and two, twelve and one thirds innings, allowed
just two runs, one earn on six to six and
four walks. In the previous series against Cincinnati, they allowed
ten runs, ten earn runs, I might add, So the
Bullpenn's been good, which I didn't expect, especially without Brash
(09:04):
being in there. Maybe Thornton's starting to come around a
little bit right now, which is good. We need him
to get things going. So all in all, hey, I
said before they went on the road, six and three,
try to go six and three. They're four and two,
so they take two out of three against the Red Sox.
They get to that six and three, and that is
(09:26):
a win. See, Unlike Jerry Depoto, who's okay with fifty
four percent, I'm better with sixty eight percent. That's what
you should stry for. Sixty eight percent winning percentage. Then
you'll definitely be in the postseason. So all in all,
good year, a good season, well, good series. Excuse me,
(09:49):
in Toronto, in Cincinnati. Now they go to Boston. The
Red Sox are playing right now, and something they call
Patriots Day up in New England and the Mariners have
a travel day as they head to Beantown before they
come back for a six game homestand against the Marlins
(10:10):
in Angels. That'll be interesting to see how many people
show up to that series. Marlins can't even draw on
their own ballpark. They got six and a half thousand
people a week ago for their series against Arizona in Miami.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They like, just you know what, I'm waiting for baseball.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
To get the Marlins out of Miami and let the
Hurricanes take over. By the way, I don't know if
any of you know this. That is in kaya Ocho.
That is where they built that ballpark in the place
of where the Orange Bowl used to be.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And let's just basically make.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
That into a football stadium and get the Marlins out
of Miami. That's a whole other thing. Also, it's Draft week, folks.
It is Draft week, and.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
We are.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
We are ready, we are ready for We are your
best home for NFL Draft coverage. Hugh Millen's gonna join
us here in studio coming up on Wednesday, so we're
looking forward to that. We'll have draft guests looking forward
to booking perhaps some players this.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Week in.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Without any equivocation or hesitation, I hope and pray that
either Colston Lovelin or Tyler Warren is there at eighteen
on Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
One of the things that I've understood and even watching
from afar of John Schneider for nearly fifteen years, He's
the most unpredictable general manager to prognosticate what he's going
to do in the draft. We never know what Schneider's
going to I mean, you know, I don't have to
tell you anything you don't know. But if you're gonna
(12:07):
stay at eighteen and you can't trade down and out
of there and pick up more picks, I want a
tight end. I want Colston Lovelin. I want Tyler Warren.
I would take Mason Taylor, but I would do that later,
maybe in the second round, if he's still there at
fifty or fifty two. I'm also okay with Nick Ammin Worri.
(12:31):
This dude is a stud first team All American, first
Team All SEC from South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I wouldn't have an issue with that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I would also not have an issue with Tyler Booker,
the guard out of Alabama or the tackle out of
Texas Kelvin Banks Junior.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So there are a plethora.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Of options for John Schneider and the Seahawks, a plethora
of them.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I just hope he makes the right choice.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I would imagine if he doesn't go guard at eighteen,
you will definitely certainly see one at fifty and or
fifty two in the second round. I would venture to
say I cannot overstate this enough. The most monumental mistake
(13:29):
that John Schneider could make on Thursday night with the
eighteen pick in the draft is taking a wide receiver.
This team does not need a wide receiver right now.
I mean, do they sure, but they need other things
much worse, much, much worse.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
It's a luxury pick for me.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And look who Sam Darnold had to throw to in
Minnesota as his tight end.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
TJ.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Hawkinson stud one of the best tight ends in the NFL.
I would say, let's make the tight end position great
again in Seattle. But it's never been great. And I
don't understand that even when you had my boy, my
former schoolmate from the you, Jimmy Graham, it can you
(14:19):
can never try to you can never find a way
to get the tight end and maybe, just maybe under
Clint Kobiak, that this is something that the Seahawks will
do for the first time in franchise history. Make the
tight end position relevant and hopefully make it prominent because
(14:42):
that's what we need here. That could be Sam Darnold's
best friend, the tight end, just like it was in
Minnesota with TJ.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Hawkinson.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Now he also had Jefferson and Addison and you know
he had he had more weapons than then Hamas. Okay,
but that being said, we don't have those weapons justin.
Jefferson is not walking through that door here. You know,
I have a lot of faith in Jackson Smith and Jigba.
(15:15):
To get to that level, you've got to be the
less than one percent in the league.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
So from my standpoint, I'm saying, oh, I want to
tight end so bad.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
My biggest problem would be I don't think Lovelin or Warren.
I think one of them could be there, but there's
a chance that neither one of them will be there.
And if that's the case, then that is just oh man,
I just don't know. Like from I would be, I
(15:59):
will be over of the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on Thursday,
Softy Hugh and Dick will be out there doing the
show as well. Ian will be out there doing his
show from one to three. I will be so livid
if the Seahawks take your receiver at eighteen.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I can't even tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I just there isn't a guy, and I don't care
if Tetoroah McMillan drops to eighteen. If he drops to eighteen,
there's a reason why he dropped to eighteen. Okay, there's
a reason why. Do some background research, do some things
that might not come up, and you're going to I
(16:41):
live in my mother's basement and I'm forty three years old.
NFL draft dot Com. Do some research on Tetoroah McMillan,
find some things out that don't necessarily reflect in the
statistics column. I don't want him. I don't want him
here in Seattle. I don't want Luther Burnon, I don't
want Matthew Golden. I don't want any of them. I
(17:03):
want a tight end I would take if they take
Nick Emm and Warri, fine, you make one of the
top five defenses even better. And I think this guy's
got Studd written all over him. I don't have a
problem with that. If you took Shamar Stewart, who've I've
followed since coming out of A Miami Dade County Rick
Ross reference. I wouldn't have a problem with that coming
(17:25):
out of Texas A and M. If you took Walter
Nolan speaking to Texas A and M. Shamar Stewart's former
teammate at A and M who played this past season
for Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss, I don't have a
problem with that. Please, John Schneider, please do not take
a receiver. Don't need one right now, not in the
first round. Get Isaiah Bond later in the second round.
(17:48):
His stock is dropping big time. Get him later. Get
Isaiah Bond from Texas later, who could end up being
better than his teammate Matthew Golden. Isaiah Bond used to
be at Alabama, by the way, and he caught that
believable catch in the Iron Bowl against Auburn that won
Alabama the game a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
So those are my thoughts. Take with that.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
What you will You want to leave a voice text,
Go to the new improved iHeartRadio app. Look for ninety
three to three KJR. Hit the microphone icon button. Do
it right there. You want to leave a normal text,
go to the unsponsored four nine four five one. Text
line four nine four five one.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
We have a lot to get to.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Am I? Am I making too much of a big
deal Luis Castillo? Or is he really hit a wall?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Speaking of John Schneider, where do the Seahawks rank over
the course of the last half decade amongst the teams
in the NFL in terms of where.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
They have drafted?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
That's next on MJ and the Midday ninety three to
three KJR FM didn't happen sooner.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I live for this.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I've covered three of them, four of them. I've been
at NFL draft headquarters, you know, during the Bill Belichick
Tom Brady era on Draft Night in New England at
Gillette Stadium, and I just love it, I really I
remember when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I was down in
Tampa when they had the number two pick in the
(19:27):
twenty ten draft and they took Jeral McCoy after the
Detroit Lions took and Dominkinsoue number one. And I remember
asking the coach at that time, Raheem Morris, would you
have taken Jeral McCoy if if you had the first
overall pick? And he said We're very happy with jeral McCoy. Now,
some people could argue he might have even had a
(19:49):
better career than a Dominkin sue he didn't win any
Super Bowls. But if you look at the numbers yet,
you don't know. But all I know is I can't
wait for this draft and you should. All this is
this to me is where if you get it right
in the draft, you don't have to make desperate financial
(20:10):
decisions later on overpaying for free agents. I don't have
a problem with adding free agents, but if you get
it right during the draft. Okay, Like I brought this
up last week, Bill Belichick, and I've cited examples. And
I was in Boston when Belichick was the coach of
(20:32):
the Patriots and the guy who ran the show. He
was the coach, he was the general manager, he's the
president of football operations. He did everything but sweep the
floors and clean the toilets in Foxborough. He can't pick
skilled position players in the first round.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Can't.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Dude picked Sony Michelle over Lamar Jackson picked Nikhil Harry
over AJ Brown, Deebo, Samuel DK metcalf and Terry McLaurin
picked Mat mac Jones to replace Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's the guy that he thought.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Bill Belichick wanted to prove that he could win without Brady,
so he picked mac efin Jones.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
How'd that work out?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Bill?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Maybe, Bill, that's why you're in Chapel Hill right now. Yes,
you got a twenty four year old girlfriend who's using
your clout on social media. But there's a reason you're
not coaching in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Bill.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He can't pick offensive skilled players in the first round.
That's his biggest thing. And he could do some other
things in the first round. He's had good drafts in
the past. But if you get the draft right, it'll
set up your franchise for a decade and you can
contend for.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
The Super Bowl every year. All right, So there is
an article.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Our buddy the athletics, Nick Bombgardner wrote this article who
we had on last week, and I liked Nick a lot.
It's very interesting he took the time over the last
five years. Good fine by Christopher Kidd, Good fine by you, Chris,
who has the highest draft rankings of any team the
(22:23):
last five years. The top three don't surprise me. Maybe
you could switch them put. I would have thought that
Kansas City might have been number one, but they're number two.
Who's number one? The Detroit Lions. Top fifty picks twelve
of them Pro Bowls thirteen starting seasons thirty five. Today sewell,
(22:44):
I'm on raw, Saint Brown, Aiden Hutchinson, Jamiir Gibbs, Kirby,
Joseph Brian Branch, Sam Laporta. According to Nick bomb Gardner quote,
Detroit has put a masterclass on how to rebuild an
organization from the ground up.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Was he perfect?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
He took Jeff Acoud out of Ohio State in twenty twenty.
Nobody's perfect. Number two. The three the team who's won
three of the last six Super Bowls, The Kansasy Chiefs.
No surprise there, Brett viach Create Humphrey Trey Smith. Worst
pick Clyde Edwards Hilaire Number three. Baltimore Ravens, Eric DaCosta,
(23:36):
top fifty picks eight of them Pro Bowls eleven starting
season thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Best pick.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Kyle Hamilton, best value pick Nambi Madubuque Hamilton and Tyler
Lindebaum in twenty two was amazing for Baltimore. Worst pick
David Oja Yabu Edge Rusher, second round pick in twenty
(24:05):
twenty two, Number four. A team that I know all
too much about, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jason Light Top
fifty pick seven Pro Bowls, five starting seasons, thirty four
best pick, Tristan Wurf's best value. I love this guy,
and I love his name even more, Yaya Diabi from Louisville.
(24:28):
Wurfs is only twenty six and has become the first
player in NFL history to earn All Pro honors at
both right and left tackle. They also got a guide
by the name of Antoine Winfield in twenty twenty along
with Kaitott and Bucky Irving and Cody Mock. And I
will tell you to add to Nick baumb Gardner's analysis
and research the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If you go back
(24:50):
and look at last year's draft, they're the only team
in NFL history where all of their draft picks made
the opening fifty three man roster on opening Day. Never
happened before in NFL history. Jason Light, He's elite. Surprised
(25:11):
about this one, really surprised about this one.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
But okay.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Dallas Cowboys fifth, Top fifty pick six Pro Bowls fifteen
Best pick, Micah Parsons. Worst pick Mazzie Smith, I don't
even remember him. Best value, Deron Bland, Parsons, Ceedee Lamb,
Trevon Diggs, Tyler Smith were all elite picks from twenty
twenty to twenty two. All right number six to Miami Dolphins.
(25:40):
Top fifty picks eight Pro Bowls, two starting seasons, thirty
five best pick Jayalen Waddle, Worst pick, Noah, I'm not
even gonna try to pronounce your last name begins with
an eye. Best value Devon Aishad who wears the helmet condom?
Remember the helmet condom? Right number seven, the Cincinnati band.
(26:02):
We gotta listen. I want to get We got a
lot of good stuff coming up in hitting to all fields.
I'm just gonna run through the Cincinnati seven, Buffalo eight,
Philly nine Chargers, ten, Mark James, Christopher Kidd. Where are
our Seahawks? You just named the top ten the last
five years? Where are the Seahawks number eleven, Chicago Bears,
(26:26):
number twelve, Pittsburgh Steelers and drum roll, Christopher Kidd. Here
we go bang number thirteen, Seattle Seahawks grade of seven
point nine two Top fifty picks nine Pro Bowls for
starting season's twenty seven best pick, Devin Witherspoon, worst pick
(26:49):
Dwayne Eskridge, best value Reek one. Seahawks, according to Nick Baumgardner,
have made some to be determined selections Charles cross Boy
mafe but hit gold with Woolan and Witherspoon Wooland not
so much last season though, right, he did regress, right, Chris,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, a rough year. Rough here.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
I think the ceiling is really high for him. Eas
I did too, and I think Mike McDonald's sees it
as well.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Okay, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
It says the results could be better, but they could
also be much worse. Number thirteen, So can I just
tell you what. We'll talk to Nick Bomgardner hopefully this
week as well. We want to get him back on
I like Nick. He was, uh, he's Nick's a funny
guy and he's good at what. He's really good at
his job. I just I think Seattle should be top
ten here. I think Seattle should be top ten. I
(27:37):
think they've done better than Chicago. I mean, you can't
give Chicago credit for taking Caleb Williams. They sucked bad
enough to get him that you can't give him credit
for taking Caleb Williams. No, they're better than Chicago. They've
been better than the Chargers. Chargers again, they sucked bad
enough to get Justin Herbert at number six. That doesn't
(27:58):
give I mean, no, no, that's my only issue. I
think the Seahawks should be close to top ten, close
to top ten. That's all Eagle. Oh, by the way,
I kind of glossed over the Eagles. Eagles at number nine.
Woo Howie Roseman playing chess while everybody else playing checkers.
Best pick Jalen Hurts. Now I'll top that. Maybe the
(28:22):
best pick Jalen Carter. Worst pick another Jalen Jalen Rieger.
They took him over Justin Jefferson. But then they went
out and they traded for aj Brown. Best value, Nakobe Dean.
Howie Roseman has continued to feast in just about every
area of the draft. Getting Jalen Carter at number nine
(28:43):
was this deal bringing in Cam Jurgens before Jason Kelsey's
retirement made for one of the best picks in the
last five years.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I would put the Seahawks a little higher, that's all
I'm saying, just a little higher.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Your thoughts on the Seahawks. Were they rank in the
last five years of the draft? Very interesting there. I
love when they when they great, I love it, absolutely
love it all. Right, Coming up next a question you
shouldn't ask an athlete after his season's over. And hell
(29:20):
hath no fury like an X scorned hitting all fields
MJ in the Midday.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Next on ninety three to three kJ rtem.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well, well, well, hell hath no fury like an ex
girlfriend scorned. Hannah Cavender talking trash about the guy who
will be the starting quarterback at the U will take
the place of the guy who will be the number
one overall pick in the NFL Draft this Thursday night,
mister cam Ward, And I'm speaking of Carson Beck, former
(30:06):
Georgia Bulldogs quarterback. So she ran into the President of
the United States of America's granddaughter, who is a tennis player.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, she's a No, she's a golfer. She's a golfer
at the U.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
She ran into her at her and her twin sister
ran into her at the UFC pay per view last
weekend in Miami, And Hannah Cavender just couldn't keep her
mouth shut about her ex boyfriend Carson Beck.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
So basically we.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Were supposed to like let me go to Nashville, right,
and they want to break.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Out all the shots yeah on his phone like this,
like you get this, but like does he have like friends,
like you wouldn't talk to you like an ego.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
He's like he wanted to stop them like take a
picture on the barn.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I'd be a rrass like I'm sorry, Like I'd be
like very embarrass like oh my god.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Yeah, and I feel like I broke up with him,
and I broke with him and like all these you know,
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I didn't break up with it. I broke up with
him because they're like who what kind of like I
had to do it like the most glow way because
that's the my friends.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
All I heard was the word like every other word but.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Like it he was like, And I was like, I'd
break it up because he was like gat me, I
broke up because like he has no friends, Hannah, move onward,
move on.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
He upgraded. He's already upgraded. Okay. He he came down
to Miami.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
And yeah, you got him down to the three oh
five and then he looked around.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
He's like I'm making four million dollars from the U.
I'm making another six million endorsements, and I got girls
that are twelves, not tens, not eleven's, but twelves coming
at me.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I think I'm gonna play the field, like, just just
move on.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Move on, keep Carson Beck's name out of your mouth,
let the man live, let them man if you move
onward and let him move on?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
And Chris, is this a lot of like come on, man?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Eh, some girls do that, right, right? I mean you
could tell she's a very young girl too, isn't young?
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Right?
Speaker 4 (32:17):
He got a young one in the mindset, because there's
a lot of twenty one year old whatever age she is,
that wouldn't even think about going out there and saying
this type of stuff. Like you said, he just move on,
just move on, right, You don't have to talk bad
about the person or whatever the case may be. She
clearly doesn't do that, as you can as you can
tell what the auto we just played.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But like, how could you tell with her mannersms?
Speaker 4 (32:39):
How she's laughing, aggling, laughing like everything.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
So it just it's just funny to hear that. But
by the way, don't corrupt the president's granddaughter is a
freaking it's like eighteen years old.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
She I don't think she's graduated high school yet. Okay, yeah,
so even you.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Know what I mean, like, don't corrupt her and like
get but like like I was like, like she listen.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I've already predicted.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Miami has this stud kid who is a four star
prospect coming out of Atlanta named Luke Nicol.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
He's awesome.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
He will take over for Carson Beck when Carson Beck
is gone. Carl Luke Nicol will have be a power
couple with a president's granddaughter. Just just don't like, oh
god like should only be used as a verb.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
A verb. Chris, I gotta tell you a funny story.
One night what you got?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
So I was hosting the Jim Rome Show and I
had to drive all the way to freaking Orlando because
I didn't have a com Rex box, which I do
own one now, but unfortunately I left it in Florida
because I'm.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Half Polish and I'm not that smart.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
So I didn't have a com rex box at the
time because it couldn't afford one, So I had to
drive to do Orlando.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I did do the Rome Show all week long.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
He was on vacation and I had to drive an
hour and forty five minutes each way from Saint Petersburg
to Orlando. And it was like a Wednesday night and
this girl who I was gonna go out with that
Weekend's like, oh, I want to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I want to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I'm like, listen, you know what's it's been a long week.
I gotta save my voice. It's just i'd rather not no, no, no,
I really want to talk to you. So we talked
in the phone on my way home. I was in
a very surly mood, and every word out of her
mouth the first time we talked to the phone was
like so. I was like, and she was like and
(34:20):
I was like and I was like oh oh, like
like like like oh, I.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Was like oh.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
She was like oh God, I'd be like oh.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
So.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I finally said to her, I said, do you know
you say the word like a lot? You would have
thought that I said that she was fat and ugly.
I didn't, but that's how she reacted. And you could
tell somebody in her life, probably her parents or somebody
in a very authoritarian position, had told her that whatever
(34:50):
her name was, let's call her.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Amy Amy. I don't remember her name, Amy.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
You should probably just kind of And we never went
out because I told you, I told you I did not.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I can't do it. I just can't do it.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
But I was like, and she was like, and he
was like, oh, I didn't break up with him because
like hee me, I broke up with like because like.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
He has no friends, and.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Like, oh god, oh my god, you did him a favor, Hannah.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
You did him a favor. Seriously, you did him a favor.
Trust me on that one.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Carson live your best life and Hannah lived your best life.
Please just keep his name out of it. And don't
post videos on TikTok about your ex boyfriend. It makes
you look petty, small and bitter. Which just move on,
all right. The Dallas Mavericks, they got that ass kicked
(35:48):
by the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Man, I wish I had. I didn't touch the game.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
God, I wish I would, I thought because Jah was questionable,
so I didn't know. You know, I'm like, I don't
want to take him if it didn't matter. They that
ass kicked it after the game. Let's just say the
media and you could tell Klay Thompson, former Warrior, former
four time world champion, wanted to answer this question, but
he just couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I know what you know now if you've made the
same ship for class on, who.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Try to do that to me? Don't do that.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
That's kind of a ridiculous question because like there's I
don't own a time machine, and I don't believe in
going back listening back, if I didn't have my whole career,
I would not be round at and I would have
been able to persevere it through two really hard injuries.
So I'm here in Dallas, and I enjoyed my time
and I'm looking forward to the future.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
The question was do you regret going to Dallas and
leaving Golden State? That look, do you regret it now now?
Seeing with the Luca being traded and everything. Oh, by
the way, I have an update and things are not
looking good for Nico Harrison. Can't piss off the owner
Patrick Dumont. Uh oh uh.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Oh uh oh, Nico uh oh. A lot of Nikos
making bad decisions.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Recently, Dallas Maverick's owner Patrick Dumont was reportedly frustrated with
Nico Harrison for not warning him how the fan base
would react to the Luka Doncicz trade quote. According to
Tim Cato, However, those team sources consistently express belief that
Dumont no longer sees Harrison as a figure with irreproachable
(37:24):
basketball expertise. Most notably, team and league sources say Dumont
has had frustration with Harrison not warning him or perhaps
even more dimmingly, being unaware of the fandom's outrage following
the trade. The same sources said it had some influence
over Dumont's decision to make Harrison appear for last week's
(37:45):
closed media event, which Harrison did not want to do.
End quote, what's the great century twenty one? It was
a lot of great twenty one? Zillow, Redfinn Nico. I
wouldn't be I wouldn't be owning in Dallas for much longer.
(38:06):
It doesn't appear that you will be around too much longer.
