00:00I want to get your thoughts on the champs and on the Steelers.

00:04All right.

00:05So you said the champs and the Eagles, they took Campbell.

00:08Now, Jihad Campbell is interesting.

00:10Scott, he went to Alabama as an edge rusher.

00:13Due to necessity, he got moved to inside backer,

00:15where he played mostly the last two seasons and did a nice job.

00:19Now, he had labrum surgery, shoulder surgery,

00:21so he won't be able to have contact until August, most likely.

00:24But he's going to be cross-trained.

00:25They're going to start him at inside backer first when he's allowed to practice.

00:28He'll be in the inside backer room learning the classroom there

00:33about that position, the way that they're going to teach it here.

00:35So they felt that they did really well there.

00:37And they went with Andrew McCubbin in the second round,

00:40who's a corner, Scott, but he's a little bit slight of build.

00:43But he's very aggressive, good coverage player.

00:46They addressed a lot of needs as the draft went on.

00:51And you know what's funny about the Chiefs?

00:54The Chiefs were a team, when you really look at what they did, Scott,

00:57they addressed a lot of needs.

00:58I like what they did with Josh Simmons, who's going to play tackle for them.

01:03Norman Lott is a D-tackle where they were kind of light on depth.

01:07I love the kid Royals, who's a receiver at Utah State who could run pretty well.

01:11He's a playmaker.

01:12I thought they addressed some needs.

01:14But I thought the Bills did a phenomenal job, Scott.

01:17I thought the Bills, if we ranked them, were right up there.

01:21Hairston, the corner of Kentucky.

01:23Now, Scott, he's not the biggest guy in the world, but could flat out fly.

01:27I mentioned Landon Jackson, who I absolutely love.

01:30By the way, they're the class of that division.

01:33When you look at the future numbers, Scott, they're my number one team to win their division

01:37at minus 300.

01:40It's such a landslide.

01:41The Dolphins have got all sorts of problems with their offensive line.

01:45They were unable to trade Jalen Ramsey.

01:48The Dolphins are plus 550 to win that division.

01:50The Patriots are plus 750, which, by the way, is not as bad as you would think.

01:55And then, of course, the Jets are plus 1,500.

01:57Now, let's get to your division, the AFC North, where the Ravens are minus 135.

02:02I do like them at minus 135.

02:04But once and if the Steelers get Rodgers, and by the way, they're plus 600, Scott.

02:10They're plus 600.

02:11And the Bengals are plus 200.

02:13I would put the Steelers over the Bengals if they get Rodgers.

02:17They did get Will Howard, by the way, in the sixth.

02:20The Ohio State quarterback will vie for a backup job, and the Browns are plus 3,000.

02:24The Texans, they're another one that I really love.

02:27The Texans are plus 100.

02:29In fact, the fact that you could get them at plus 100 at this point, remember we said last

02:35May, get on the Steelers at over 7 1⁄2?

02:38That's how strongly I feel about the Bills and the Texans.

02:41The Texans are plus 100 to win their division.

02:43They have the best roster in that division.

02:45They're clearly the best team.

02:46Now, this is interesting.

02:48The Chiefs are only minus, Scott, 150 to win their division, the AFC West.

02:52The Chargers are getting some respect at plus 190, plus 290.

02:56They didn't draft a corner to me, which is surprising.

02:58They're still kind of weak at corner.

03:00Looking at the NFC East, I'm going to surprise people here.

03:05You and I have talked about this, Scott.

03:07The NFC East, no team has repeated that division, which only has four, by the way, since 2004.

03:12Okay, the Eagles are minus 175.

03:14They're the clear favorite.

03:16The Commanders are plus 225.

03:18They've had an outstanding offseason.

03:20They significantly helped their offensive line, which they know they needed help with.

03:24They addressed a lot of needs on defense.

03:26You saw what they did in that division.

03:28I know the Eagles smoked them in the playoffs.

03:30They got boat raced, no question about it.

03:32But the Commanders are starting to close that gap.

03:34And again, it's been 21 years since we've had a repeat winner, folks.

03:37I'm just saying.

03:37I know the Eagles won the Super Bowl, but if you're looking to get a really good value,

03:41the Commanders would be a great value, Scott.

03:43I think it's plus 225.
