00:00So according to Jeremy Fowler, the Raiders left tackle Colton Miller is not currently

00:07participating in voluntary offseason programs and is seeking a contract extension, a.k.a.

00:12he either wants to get paid or get traded for happened to play for Josh McDaniels in

00:19Vegas.

00:20Maybe he didn't hate Josh McDaniels as much as some of the other players.

00:23And there's a chance you could go acquire a guy.

00:25The Patriots this past offseason clearly were under the impression that they wanted to

00:31go out and acquire guys that they were familiar with.

00:34A lot of the guys outside of Milton Williams, almost every other acquisition was a guy they

00:38were familiar with, and they could bring a guy in, which may then in turn assuage some

00:43of the fears that people have about drafting Will Campbell at No. 4.

00:48You have far more options if you were to trade for Colton Miller.

00:51You trade for Miller, give him a bit of a contract extension since you still have a ton of cap

00:55anyways.

00:56And then you can have options at 4.

00:59You could go Ashton Gentry.

01:00You could do what Wiggy wants.

01:01You could go Tyler Warren.

01:03You could go Jalen Walker if you really want another pass rusher.

01:06So now you have, you could even still take Will Campbell and then, you know, have the option

01:12of having him at tackle or guard when you need him and have that flexibility.

01:15It seems like the Gentry at No. 4 for the Patriots talk is heating up.

01:20I, Greg, I will spontaneously combust in a good way.

01:25Why is it heating up?

01:27I don't know.

01:27It seems weird.

01:30But again, like, Vrabel has shown you that he wants to play that kind of football.

01:35He wants to take some of the burden off the quarterback.

01:38He wants to be able to run the ball effectively.

01:40And Ashton Gentry is the best running back in this draft by a bullet.

01:45And, like, I would put him on par with, like, Ezekiel Elliott coming out of Ohio State.

01:51That's kind of how I comp Ashton Gentry.

01:53So you would love that pick?

01:54I would.

01:55I would be over the moon.

01:56I would.

01:57Because I think a lot of people will hate it, which I partly love.

02:00And then I just, I love Ashton Gentry as a player.

02:03I think he's awesome.

02:04All right.

02:04I mean, that'd be interesting.

02:05He had a great career at Boise State.

02:08What do you, Sean, what do you have to give the Raiders to get that deal done?

02:13Because he wants a contract extension and probably wants out, I wouldn't think it's that much.

02:18Maybe give him the third round pick.
