00:00
So let me ask you, they've obviously in that front office,
00:06
Shane and Dable, they have already decided it would appear to me
00:10
from what you're telling me that they're satisfied
00:12
with the quarterback room as it stands now.
00:16
And they're not worried about drafting Shador Sanders
00:19
because it's not happening.
00:20
And then I want to ask you, does this same group of people
00:25
believe in Thibodeau?
00:28
Like, what do they, you know, what do they think of him?
00:32
Is he going to get a new deal, some big fat deal?
00:35
Do you think he's been a great player?
00:38
Like, what is their thinking there?
00:40
Yeah, he's been a good player.
00:41
He's not been a great player.
00:42
I don't want to say he was overdrafted,
00:44
but there was a lot of hype around Thibodeau.
00:46
I do.
00:48
He's been a nice player.
00:50
He's not been great.
00:52
Now, I will tell you.
00:53
Nice don't cut it in New York or in the NFL.
00:56
Nice don't cut it.
00:58
By the way, if Travis Hunter goes at three,
01:01
if he does not go to the Browns at two,
01:02
which would be a surprise,
01:04
he's not getting past the Giants at number three.
01:06
I don't care that they've got good enough corners.
01:09
Travis Hunter is a game changer, okay?
01:11
Travis Hunter is a special football player.
01:14
And you and I will be talking about this closer to the draft.
01:16
This draft determines blue chip prospects.
01:20
This draft of the last 10 years probably has on paper
01:23
for the fewest amount of blue chip prospects to go in the first round.
01:27
It's just not a great first round.
01:28
But Travis Hunter in any draft is special.
01:31
There's no question about that.
01:33
So let me ask you this question.
01:35
So you know, being in Philly,
01:37
how great Howie is,
01:39
Roseman,
01:40
at running the Eagles to another ring
01:43
and another Lombardi.
01:44
These guys,
01:46
Shane and Dable,
01:47
have butchered their tenure in New York.
01:51
There's no getting around that.
01:53
And you're telling me
01:54
that they're going to,
01:56
they're not drafting a quarterback
01:58
and they're going to go with what they have.
02:01
What that says to me is
02:03
that both of those guys are doomed.
02:06
Understand this, Scott, though.
02:07
You can't win without quarterbacks.
02:09
They're quarterbacks all signed.
02:10
I hear you.
02:11
But let me address the situation.
02:14
The worst thing you can do,
02:16
and I hate to bring this guy up,
02:18
and I was there at that draft in 17,
02:19
but when the Bears reached for Mitch Trubisky
02:21
because they needed a quarterback,
02:23
that set them back.
02:24
Yeah, they made the playoffs with him,
02:26
but they never got there.
02:27
Mitch Trubisky,
02:28
no one would have criticized it
02:29
if he went in the second round.
02:31
Trudor Sanders does not have the value
02:33
to go at number three.
02:35
I know they need a quarterback.
02:36
They've got,
02:37
it's about this season with Russell Wilson,
02:39
okay?
02:40
No question he's going to be the starter.
02:42
Winston will back him up.
02:43
But the future they can get next year.
02:45
Now, I know some people are saying,
02:47
well, they're going to avoid a quarterback here
02:49
because if they took a quarterback,
02:50
they noticed that guy wouldn't play.
02:52
I know that's some thinking there,
02:53
but the bottom line is Trudor Sanders
02:54
is not good enough to go at number three.
02:56
He's a mid-to-late first-round pick
02:58
in true value,
02:59
but it doesn't mean he can't be a good quarterback.
03:01
That's not the point.
03:02
The point is when you grade the player,
03:06
he's got a lower grade,
03:07
and that's why he's going lower.
03:08
So, you know,
03:10
God forbid he ends up with the Steelers at 21.
03:13
Is that what's going to happen with this guy?
03:17
You know, it's so funny
03:18
because, you know,
03:18
they've been on Jackson Dart a little bit.
03:20
Jackson Dart to me is not a,
03:22
is a late first, early second-round pick.
03:25
Trudor Sanders to me is a better prospect.
03:27
In fact, it's not,
03:28
it's a fact.
03:30
I mean, Trudor Sanders is a better quarterback
03:32
at this point,
03:34
based on tape,
03:35
than Jackson Dart.
03:37
But that would be,
03:38
listen,
03:38
if you're,
03:39
if you're the,
03:39
if you're the Steelers,
03:40
I know cornerback for the future
03:43
is a need for them.
03:44
They got to start looking at edge rusher
03:45
because of T.J. Watts' age.
03:48
They got to look at running back.
03:49
They're going to need a receiver
03:50
down the line,
03:51
depending on what they do
03:52
with George Pickens.
03:53
But they also need to get
03:55
the quarterback situation solved.
03:56
Do they like Milrow
03:57
better than Sanders
03:59
is the question.
04:00
I doubt that.
04:01
I doubt that.
04:02
Milrow's,
04:03
Milrow,
04:03
that's a second round pick player,
04:05
by the way.
04:06
I know Milrow's an interesting player.
04:08
I know there's some steam there
04:09
with the Steelers of Milrow.
04:11
Milrow is not a first round
04:12
great quarterback.
04:13
He's just not.
04:14
How good is Kyle McCord?
04:16
Because I thought he was
04:17
a really good quarterback
04:19
at Syracuse.
04:20
I thought he was unbelievable,
04:21
but he gets no juice whatsoever.
04:25
He's a third to fourth round pick,
04:26
Scott.
04:27
That's,
04:27
that's what he is.
04:28
This draft,
04:29
Scott is like that.
04:30
That's what he is.
04:32
He's a mid-round quarterback.
04:34
This quarterback draft,
04:35
Scott,
04:35
and that's why you can't reach.
04:37
You can't push the panic button
04:38
just because you need a quarterback.
04:40
That's the point.
