00:00Less than 35 hours away from the NFL Draft.

00:03Woo!

00:04That was quick math by me there, Keith.

00:06Just one more snooze.

00:07We've told you a lot about what we want.

00:09Today we're going to get to five guys we do not want.

00:12No.

00:12Not don't like.

00:13Don't want.

00:14We just don't want them.

00:15They might be very nice guys.

00:16They might want us.

00:17They might want to be Patriots.

00:18But too bad.

00:19We don't want them.

00:20Nope.

00:20Go somewhere else.

00:21This is our list.

00:22If you miss the five guys I want, that Keith wants,

00:25you can go seek that out on the Odyssey app, A-U-D-A-C-Y.

00:28Get that on your phone.

00:30Free.

00:30Easy.

00:31Take it with you wherever you go.

00:32We'll get to hate it or love it today.

00:33Tyler Warren, the prospect, we'll be discussing.

00:36He was part of both of our Players We Want list yesterday.

00:39So we'll do that at 11.45 on Tyler Warren.

00:42You can still vote in yesterday's option, Tetaroa McMillan.

00:45A lot of votes.

00:46People don't care for him.

00:47And a lot of hate.

00:48We also have Would You Rathers coming your way at 11.30.

00:51But without further ado, I'll give you the five guys I do not want in this draft.

00:55I'll go in reverse order, Keith.

00:56All right.

00:56Starting with No. 5, Shamar Stewart.

00:59Edge rusher out of Texas A&M.

01:00Zero production.

01:01He seems to be dropping, at least in the mock drafts out there.

01:04Not a player I'd be interested in at the end of the first round or pick 38, should the

01:08Patriots be in that vicinity.

01:10I'm also out on Jalen Walker.

01:11Number four on my list.

01:12Edge rusher out of Georgia.

01:14I think he's an edge rusher.

01:15I'm not really sure he has a position.

01:18And so you've made the point before.

01:19You can't really go wrong drafting Georgia players, especially on defense.

01:23This is one that I personally am not interested in, especially at four.

01:27Same thing for Mason Graham.

01:28We're going to read you Peter Schrager's mock coming up.

01:31Yeah.

01:31He's dropping like a stone.

01:32Sure is.

01:32In some of these mock drafts.

01:34Zero interest in him at pick four.

01:36The D lineman out of Michigan.

01:38The hated or love it yesterday.

01:39Number two on my list.

01:40Tetaroa McMillan.

01:42Don't care for him.

01:43Don't want him in the 20s.

01:45Don't want him at 38.

01:46If he fell there, definitely don't want him at four.

01:49And number one on the players I don't want list.

01:53Will Campbell.

01:53Oh, no.

01:54The offensive lineman out of LSU.

01:56Don't want him at four.

01:57Don't want him in a trade down scenario.

01:59Don't want him.

02:00So again, that's shocking.

02:01Stewart, Walker, Graham, McMillan, Campbell.

02:03That's my list.

02:04All right.

02:05My list starting at number five.

02:06I'm going with running back Omarian Hampton.

02:08Now, the reason I say that is if you're sitting at four, you can probably just take Ashton

02:14Gentty.

02:14So I don't want a scenario where you trade down or you trade back up and you pass on the best

02:19running back in the draft and then you still take a running back.

02:22So that's why he's on my list.

02:23Number four, Will Johnson.

02:25I only want a cornerback if he plays wide receiver.

02:28I don't want an only corner in the first round after spending money on Carlton Davis and

02:33you have Christian Gonzalez.

02:34Number three, Jalen Walker.

02:36Same kind of reasons that you mentioned.

02:38And number two, Tett McMillan, because that does feel like you'd be a guy that would

02:42be in the top 10.

02:43I love receivers, but I don't particularly like this one.

02:45I don't think I wouldn't want him in the first round either.

02:48I'm with you.

02:49There are other receivers that I think you could get a pick 38 that I like even more

02:53than Tett McMillan.

02:54And number one, the guy I outlined as being the worst case scenario would be staying on

02:59the board and simply taking Mason Graham.

03:01And now it seems like other people are kind of coming around to the fact that maybe he's

03:04not even worth a top five pick regardless of need.

03:07But when the team spends all of their free agency resources on defense, including some

03:13defensive linemen, I don't want to then pass up a bunch of offensive players just to draft

03:17Mason Graham.

03:18So five to one, Omari and Hampton, Will Johnson, Jalen Walker, Tett McMillan, Mason Graham.

03:23Okay.

03:24So a good amount of overlap there.

03:26Neither of us want Walker.

03:27No.

03:27Neither of us want Tett McMillan.

03:29Neither of us want Mason Graham.

03:31I want Will Johnson.

03:32He's on my list of players.

03:34I want you do not.

03:36You want Will Campbell.

03:37I do not.

03:39Also, Maury and Hampton and Shamar Stewart on that list as well.

03:44So those are five guys we do not want in the NFL draft for the New England Patriots.

03:48We gave you five.

03:49We want yesterday.

03:50Five.

03:50We don't want today.

03:51We'll give you a hate it or love it coming up at 1145.

03:55Real quick, I'm monitoring the Bruins press conference, which is ongoing.

03:58Yep.

03:59They're patting themselves on the back for all the good regular seasons.

04:02I'm waiting for some questions about Swayman.

04:05There's been a little bit about the coaching search.

04:07Joe Sacco is a finalist.

04:09He will get an interview, Keith.

04:10Congrats, Joe.

04:11Good for him.

04:12Sympathy interview for Joe Sacco for putting up with this crap-ass team down the stretch.

04:16I'm waiting for a Swayman question, and maybe people are angling up to it.

04:19I wouldn't expect much of an answer.

04:21As far as I can tell, I haven't seen one, but I'll continue to monitor for that.

04:25Anything interesting, we'll be sure to pass it along.

04:28We know the Bruins beat.

04:29You can count on.

04:30These guys are going to get in there.

04:32They're not afraid to mix it up, Keith.

04:33No, they're not.

04:34I mean, with other media members, they're afraid to mix it up with Sweeney and Neely and Jacobs.

04:37I mean, they're very much afraid to do that.

04:39No players there to kiss their asses.

04:40No, no, no.

04:41They can't do that today.

04:42They're afraid of their own shadow when it comes to that.

04:43They don't mind mixing it up with media members.

04:45True.

04:46Whether they're present media members or former media members, it doesn't really matter.
