00:00So let me ask you, they've obviously in that front office,

00:06Shane and Dable, they have already decided it would appear to me

00:10from what you're telling me that they're satisfied

00:12with the quarterback room as it stands now.

00:16And they're not worried about drafting Shador Sanders

00:19because it's not happening.

00:20And then I want to ask you, does this same group of people

00:25believe in Thibodeau?

00:28Like, what do they, you know, what do they think of him?

00:32Is he going to get a new deal, some big fat deal?

00:35Do you think he's been a great player?

00:38Like, what is their thinking there?

00:40Yeah, he's been a good player.

00:41He's not been a great player.

00:42I don't want to say he was overdrafted,

00:44but there was a lot of hype around Thibodeau.

00:46I do.

00:48He's been a nice player.

00:50He's not been great.

00:52Now, I will tell you.

00:53Nice don't cut it in New York or in the NFL.

00:56Nice don't cut it.

00:58By the way, if Travis Hunter goes at three,

01:01if he does not go to the Browns at two,

01:02which would be a surprise,

01:04he's not getting past the Giants at number three.

01:06I don't care that they've got good enough corners.

01:09Travis Hunter is a game changer, okay?

01:11Travis Hunter is a special football player.

01:14And you and I will be talking about this closer to the draft.

01:16This draft determines blue chip prospects.

01:20This draft of the last 10 years probably has on paper

01:23for the fewest amount of blue chip prospects to go in the first round.

01:27It's just not a great first round.

01:28But Travis Hunter in any draft is special.

01:31There's no question about that.

01:33So let me ask you this question.

01:35So you know, being in Philly,

01:37how great Howie is,

01:39Roseman,

01:40at running the Eagles to another ring

01:43and another Lombardi.

01:44These guys,

01:46Shane and Dable,

01:47have butchered their tenure in New York.

01:51There's no getting around that.

01:53And you're telling me

01:54that they're going to,

01:56they're not drafting a quarterback

01:58and they're going to go with what they have.

02:01What that says to me is

02:03that both of those guys are doomed.

02:06Understand this, Scott, though.

02:07You can't win without quarterbacks.

02:09They're quarterbacks all signed.

02:10I hear you.

02:11But let me address the situation.

02:14The worst thing you can do,

02:16and I hate to bring this guy up,

02:18and I was there at that draft in 17,

02:19but when the Bears reached for Mitch Trubisky

02:21because they needed a quarterback,

02:23that set them back.

02:24Yeah, they made the playoffs with him,

02:26but they never got there.

02:27Mitch Trubisky,

02:28no one would have criticized it

02:29if he went in the second round.

02:31Trudor Sanders does not have the value

02:33to go at number three.

02:35I know they need a quarterback.

02:36They've got,

02:37it's about this season with Russell Wilson,

02:39okay?

02:40No question he's going to be the starter.

02:42Winston will back him up.

02:43But the future they can get next year.

02:45Now, I know some people are saying,

02:47well, they're going to avoid a quarterback here

02:49because if they took a quarterback,

02:50they noticed that guy wouldn't play.

02:52I know that's some thinking there,

02:53but the bottom line is Trudor Sanders

02:54is not good enough to go at number three.

02:56He's a mid-to-late first-round pick

02:58in true value,

02:59but it doesn't mean he can't be a good quarterback.

03:01That's not the point.

03:02The point is when you grade the player,

03:06he's got a lower grade,

03:07and that's why he's going lower.

03:08So, you know,

03:10God forbid he ends up with the Steelers at 21.

03:13Is that what's going to happen with this guy?

03:17You know, it's so funny

03:18because, you know,

03:18they've been on Jackson Dart a little bit.

03:20Jackson Dart to me is not a,

03:22is a late first, early second-round pick.

03:25Trudor Sanders to me is a better prospect.

03:27In fact, it's not,

03:28it's a fact.

03:30I mean, Trudor Sanders is a better quarterback

03:32at this point,

03:34based on tape,

03:35than Jackson Dart.

03:37But that would be,

03:38listen,

03:38if you're,

03:39if you're the,

03:39if you're the Steelers,

03:40I know cornerback for the future

03:43is a need for them.

03:44They got to start looking at edge rusher

03:45because of T.J. Watts' age.

03:48They got to look at running back.

03:49They're going to need a receiver

03:50down the line,

03:51depending on what they do

03:52with George Pickens.

03:53But they also need to get

03:55the quarterback situation solved.

03:56Do they like Milrow

03:57better than Sanders

03:59is the question.

04:00I doubt that.

04:01I doubt that.

04:02Milrow's,

04:03Milrow,

04:03that's a second round pick player,

04:05by the way.

04:06I know Milrow's an interesting player.

04:08I know there's some steam there

04:09with the Steelers of Milrow.

04:11Milrow is not a first round

04:12great quarterback.

04:13He's just not.

04:14How good is Kyle McCord?

04:16Because I thought he was

04:17a really good quarterback

04:19at Syracuse.

04:20I thought he was unbelievable,

04:21but he gets no juice whatsoever.

04:25He's a third to fourth round pick,

04:26Scott.

04:27That's,

04:27that's what he is.

04:28This draft,

04:29Scott is like that.

04:30That's what he is.

04:32He's a mid-round quarterback.

04:34This quarterback draft,

04:35Scott,

04:35and that's why you can't reach.

04:37You can't push the panic button

04:38just because you need a quarterback.

04:40That's the point.
