00:00That's Nick, right? First things first is the lines of the second best roster in football.

00:06John, the team he had with the best roster in football will be opposite them on Saturday,

00:11the Kansas city chiefs. And we've been having that discussion off air. We've brought it

00:14to the air. I agree. Kansas city roster for roster is better. They had a top two defense.

00:22They have an alien at quarterback. They're better on special teams. Three of the top

00:26players in the sport, according to the players themselves. While I think the lions are right

00:31there at number two, I know that will be unpopular to say they're not number one.

00:35I would rather have Kansas city's roster. I don't think it's on here in this city. No,

00:39I know because I think people are, are, are fairly realistic, even though yes,

00:43the lions did beat them at the beginning of the season last year. And we wanted to see that

00:48rematch in the super bowl. I think every, I think people believe that this could be a super bowl

00:52championship team. Doesn't mean that it's, it's always the best roster in football that wins the

00:57super bowl. True. So I think people are fairly realistic and it, and it sometimes in my opinion,

01:02goes to how much weight do you put on the quarterback, simply Patrick Mahomes.

01:07And if you're going to wait, that is, Hey, that's the reason I get it. And you should,

01:10I'm not going to argue that. Yeah. But I also look at, and if it's just for this year,

01:15maybe that's one thing. But if you're looking down the road, I think the lions are built

01:20to have a better run future years because Chris Jones, how many more years does he have at that

01:28level? How many more years does Travis Kelsey have at that level? You look at the lions roster

01:35and you could start looking at all of the guys that are young, that are just entering

01:39that second contract or just entering the possibility of a second contract that you want

01:44to resign. I think the lions are looking pretty darn good, but I get it. Why Nick Wright would

01:50have them at two in Kansas city at one. I know why you would have them, you know,

01:53Kansas city at one. I'm just talking about the possibility of looking at it with the future in

02:00mind. And then I also would look at, you know, some of the other teams that are the threats to

02:06the lions, right? We've talked about those and, and I'm not going to sit there and talk about

02:10the Packers or the bears or any, but this, what do you, when you look at the Eagles roster,

02:16yeah, I think they are a team. And I didn't, I don't remember where Nick Wright had them ranked.

02:22I think it was San Francisco was three. He had the bears in his top five. He's doing the weird

02:27bears thing, whatever. There's some weird stuff going on with this whole bears love around hard

02:33knocks and Caleb Williams, number one pick. I know we've talked about it. I don't see it the

02:37way other people see it. But anyway, when you talk about the Eagles, Jalen hurts at quarterback

02:41Saquon Barkley in the backfield, AJ Brown, Devante Smith, Paris Campbell, some, some talented

02:48receivers, top five, O-line top five, top probably top three O O-line and Dallas got her to tight

02:54end. Like I'm not going to put him in, you know, with Sam Laporta, but I think he's he's quality

02:58top 12 position. Maybe something like that. Defensively, you start to get into some of

03:02the argument regarding yes. Age is a factor and Brandon Graham. All right. He's at the end of his

03:09career, but you have two defensive tackles and Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. We talked a lot

03:14about Jalen Carter the last couple of years and you know, possibly being a lion didn't work out

03:19that way, but they're a team that I think they don't compare to the lions. I wouldn't swap rosters

03:29with them, but I think they're one of those teams. When you start to think about the threats to the

03:34lions in the AFC, obviously it's the chiefs in the NFC. I think it's the Eagles. When you start

03:42talking about depth and talent and the roster along with the Niners depth and talent and roster,

03:49but there's always that caveat of this is not just a one-off for the lions because they are so young

03:56and all of their studs, all of their star players are young. TicketTexture says this whole conversation

04:03is traitorous. Why are we doing a hypothetical about what we can't have and don't want? Well,

04:08blame John Jansen. He's the one being traitorous. He brought this up. Traitorous. You're the one.

04:12I actually think you brought this up so that I would say Kansas City has a better roster than

04:16the lions. So people would judge me even though it's the right tape. Can I ask a quick question?

04:19So you're both have already agreed that the Eagles have a better roster than the lion or the

04:24lions have a better roster than the Eagles? Yeah. I disagree. Okay. Make your point. Because it isn't.

04:35O-line push, quarterback push, skill positions, the Eagles. Secondary, the Eagles. Defense,

04:43the Eagles. Wait, wait, wait. Secondary, the Eagles. Darius Slay, Evante Maddox,

04:49they drafted two corners as well. And, um, but CJ Carter Johnson can't stay healthy. He's not

04:57even healthy now. Okay. I would, I would still say, I, this is one where we let it play out

05:06and see what it actually is for the lions. There's a lot of question marks. And I get right now,

05:12why you're saying they have a more proven track record for some of their players.

05:15But if you're going to sit there and talk about their draft picks versus the lions draft picks,

05:21I'd take the lions draft picks right now. I mean, look, there's no right answer here. I mean,

05:26Paul said it like it was fact. That's what made it funny there. Uh, I, I think the thing with the

05:30Eagles, Jalen Carter's going to determine a lot of what happens with them in the next couple of

05:35years. If he ends up being the player that people thought he's going to be, they're going to be

05:40a real problem for the lions. They are, they're getting some love on the ticket. Texas one says,

05:45I think the Eagles actually have the shot to be the best roster in all of football.

05:48Uh, that's one of the ticket texts that we just got in. Another one says guys,

05:52their biggest issue is their coaching staff. And in John's scenario, where we're trading

05:56out coaching staffs, if you just plop the Eagles roster into a better coaching situation,

06:01that's the argument on the ticket text as well. Two, four, eight, five, three, nine, 97, 97.

06:05Honestly, if we take the quarterback out of the equation, there's not a roster in the league.

06:09I'd rather have over the lions. Problem is we can't take the quarterback off the roster.

06:14Problem is my homes is Michael Jordan and you have to take him no matter who the rest of the

06:17roster is. So yes, Kansas city would be the one roster that they would trade with the lions.

06:24I mean, it's hard to fault that it is hard to fault that. I mean, that's why I wanted to have

06:28the discussion because I wanted to hear from people. Where do you believe the lions are?
