00:00I try my best to look at players and see their day.

00:04I don't care what number they go.

00:07You know, people have made teams that were drafted last pick of the 12th round

00:12when they had 12 rounds.

00:13And people have been drafted in the first round and got released in a year or two.

00:17So I've tried not to get caught up in what people are saying

00:20because what I know is what I coined it, lying season.

00:25There are people telling the guys that get all information out

00:30fibs or stuff just to get it out.

00:32Hey, you want this information?

00:33I need you to put this out too.

00:34They all do it.

00:35Sure.

00:36So I don't get too hyped up about it.

00:38But when I start looking, like what I've noticed,

00:41when something is negative said by a player,

00:44that gets blown out of proportion.

00:46But when something positive is said by the player, people just ignore it.

00:49So I don't, why would I go with the negative?

00:52You're not going to discuss the positive.

00:53So it's just like for me, this draft is going to come down to the other positions,

00:57which normally make a team even better.

01:00It's interesting because I'm not even like Washington doesn't pick until 29.

01:08I'm not even at this point.

01:11Anybody that's trying to overly focus on what the commanders are going to do,

01:15you're probably doing yourself a disservice.

01:18They have no idea what they're going to do.

01:20Adam Peters and Lance Newmark spoke at length yesterday in Ashburn.

01:24We're going to play you a ton of that audio.

01:26And repeatedly, Peters, I made a point of listening to it today.

01:30I read the transcripts yesterday.

01:33They repeatedly, Peters is like, yeah, man, you know,

01:38we're going to see how the board comes to us.

01:40We're going to make some calls before and after,

01:42but we're going to see what happens and kind of just take it from there.

01:46Of all things, they're being connected with two different Texas A&M edge rushers.

01:57No idea if any of them will come to fruition, but like that's where this is at.

02:04There's going to be a ton of options for them at 29.

02:08I still think trading back is the preferred course of action.

02:17Not to say it'll definitively happen.

02:20To trade back, you also need someone that wants to trade up.

02:24And they have to be willing to be offering something that makes sense.

02:28You don't trade back just to trade back.

02:29You want to trade back and still get positions in right places

02:33to where you can still make your team better.

02:35I, like I said earlier, I think they did so much in the off season

02:39that they now are going to sit back and just see how it goes.

02:44I don't think they're looking at any particular position or person

02:50that they have to get.

02:51I totally agree.

02:53And at 29, they probably got some guys they like.

02:58They had guys in for their visits.

02:59I mean, clearly there are people that they've been watching,

03:03but at 29, dude,

03:05you can't be locked in on somebody.

03:07Like, it's, you're so far down the board.

03:11But see, this is the thing though, Jay.

03:13We have been so far up the board

03:16and having a bad team so long,

03:18we don't understand how the good teams do it.

03:21The good teams are looking at people

03:23that's going to fit in and make their team grow and get better.

03:27We were looking for someone that we can have to focus on

03:30to be able to now have people want to come even play here.
