Start chitchatting about like well if you pay a wide receiver a bunch of money like they’re going to have to and I guess they paid Tyreek and you still got Tua who is the top five pick but like if you’re going to pay Justin Jefferson you’re not going to be paying a

Quarterback then right that’s what we’re assuming there Dan are you assuming the same thing yeah I mean if you’re Minnesota I I’ve said for like a year now dude like what’s the number one way to keep Justin like that’s the only thing that matters and that’s why I

Think you’re going to at some point have to make a jump with quarterback as good of a player as Kirk is but you’re not going to be able to avoid or afford both Justin at a high number and Kirk Cousins at the number that he’s probably going

To be able to command in for AG they’re saying 40 million a year or something like that for Justin for Kirk at least a minimum how many years you think three probably three with the whole fully guaranteed thing again $50 million I think closer to 50 than 40 35

Coming off coming off that in just got 55 her got what you’re saying you can’t you can’t put yeah but that’s the market that’s the market but Kirk we had a great year great year KK Play Kirk played at a high level but K’s fresh out of the quarterback series too he looks

Awesome not million they don’t when has KK ever signed a deal and we’re like oh that was less than what we expected it’s always like Minnesota’s going to have to make a move at quarter like last year they tried to go up to get Anthony and

At least that per reports I don’t know if those are 100% accurate but they tried to go get Richardson I could see them moving up again this year I saw someone maybe it was Chris long or Kyle long said entertaining of trading Justin Jefferson to somebody New England yeah

And going up and getting a quarterback for that like trading Justin for that high pick and going to get a quarterback so what’s New England they’re not getting a quarterback oh yeah you’re the guy that says they don’t need a quarterback up there in New England they got the number three overall pick

There’s alleged three NFL guys you think quarterback’s going to save New England buddy they haven’t had a quarterback the Savior start the comeback before a $35 million receiver would what happened with the Chargers Dan they they had guys were scoring that would score Less on that quarterback Carnival than everybody

Else that was out there playing quarterback up there I could probably they got bayy zappy up there he couldn’t even get it to the four they were saying they could even get the ball to the four they didn’t have no they just stunk that offense just stunk worst I mean it’s the

Worst offense of the league they they were the first team ever to hold three straight teams to 10 or less points and lose all three games like you need a quarterback there we could have Randy Moss and Justin Jefferson but who gives a if we don’t have a guy that can

Throw and this the first time they’re at three yeah this is the highest will ever be I’m I’m with that but that offense didn’t stink just because the quarterback I agree so it’s if taking a quarterback at three I say this all the time give me the last top five

Quarterback that flipped a bad football team CJ strad okay Joe burrow that year they’ve happened recently Cam Newton cam cam didn’t do it immediately in Carolina I saw him yesterday six wins rookie of the year and then a couple years got to 2015 it just doesn’t happen that much

Andrew Luck Andrew Luck but that wasn’t a bad team that was the Payton Year we’re number 32 we’re number 32 out a 32 it was on a t-shirt I saw it I seen the shirt I still got it that was the Payton year that was was that that was the pton

Year you think pton was the only one that was cut from that team they painted the walls brother you weren’t there they’re all cut there were 40 guys in that first team meeting that’s all that was left you can have 90 in that offseason program we had 40 guys in that

Room yeah so you already say CJ sh yeah St Stroud luck Joe just doesn’t happen that often that’s what I’m saying it’s like for all the quarterbacks that do get picked in the top five more often than not like those guys are those aren’t the saviors that maybe their

Talent it should allow them to be because the team around them is so poor all right Darius Butler golfed with Drake May yesterday for four and a half hours and give me some thought on his personality love him love him but be a guy I think guys rally around uh loves

You know loves ball not really caught up in a lot of the other you know won’t be high maintenance you know not to say that you know the other guys are will be but um awesome awesome awesome he said number one he said number one overall

Pick he said take some number one I know how you guys feel in the media about Caleb Williams you’ve probably seen him play more than I have uh but after spending that time with him once he get in the build obviously he has the skill set the personality traits I think when

You’re coming into because when you come into a locker room as a top three pick which we assume he’ll be a lot of things gonna be handed to him you’re going to be the quarterback of the team you’re G to have to be in that leadership role um

So I just think kind of like those things I think he fits that bill when teams sit down with him and the people around him as well his family his his representation I think they’ll fall in love with him as I’ve said for months now don’t lock Caleb in at number one I

I just I honestly believe that because as talented as Caleb is I think there’s stuff that teams are going to be you know like diving into to figure out I called some of Drake’s games in college he’s Big Ben to me me like he is he’s 65

Big Boy 225 230 now and still you can tell he’ll beat put on 20 lb EAS he’s a like like one of those athletes when you watch him move you’re just like he’s a little bit not refined he’s sloppy mechanically at times um but he is a

Freaking good or bad though is that good because you can take him and yeah I mean I think that’s always good because you can’t you can’t teach the stuff that Big Ben had you can’t teach the stuff that Josh has you can always get guys mechanically to be more consistent CJ

Patrick Mahomes all these like he’s Drake may I believe great basketball player as well I think baseball player as well so like all the off-script plays I think he can also make which Caleb is what everybody’s kind of putting over so much it’s like this dude 6’5 235 lbs and

Once you see like his his family his brothers are all massive I think the consensus amongst a lot of the decision makers at least are like hey if you do pass on Caleb Williams and he ends up being you know this generational talent because you got

People on record on whack saying hey i’ take him over pton man if if they were in the same draft Andrew Luck of that ilk so that’s his you know potential which is wild to say in my opinion but I think I think he still goes one because of those things you

Don’t want to be that part think team’s legit I the dumbest thing in the world I think plays does it happen though hey I we look terrible happen Curry yeah it just happened with PR young I don’t think Carolina took Bryce young because they were scared

That he was going to be really good if he went to I think Bryce Carolina took Bryce young you were so high on that coaching staff and every piece that they surrounded Bryce with right totally yeah like you were there you were you almost took a job with him right yeah I had

Convers I was shocked at that coaching staff glad you didn’t I bet yeah I bet you’re pal God you two last night you should feel good about that too I was just shocked at that it was so bad so quick you know and I think part of it was the the offensive line

Underperformed in Carolina at such a such a shocking level like that that offensive line was going to be or thought to be so much better and the offense never changed throughout the year schematically I hate when coaches go from you call plays to you call plays

Back to you calling plays um I still think Bryce is going to be a really good player absolutely you believe in canelos you know well I don’t know him well I do know this I like the fact that cuz everyone automatically goes like hey what’s he going to do for Bryce young I

Don’t even think it’ll be about Bryce I think it’ll be about the offensive line I think the thing that he did with Baker was they didn’t hold the ball like they got the ball out of Baker’s hands they don’t stress the offensive line in that capacity you guys know that so not

Stressing the offensive line it be a big deal but I I’ve said this coach 2025 don’t talk to me about Bryce young till 2025 that roster is offensive line wise needs to be rebuilt nobody wants to that when you go when you go number one nobody wants that no doubt you know mean

No doubt but that’s why that we get impatient Dan Dan what don’t you think what CJ strad did down there in Houston is going to set an unrealistic expectation for every fan base for instance the Colts look at Anthony Richardson down there he’s a rookie the

Same year as CJ strad good he had five touchdowns in the first four weeks and we never saw him play football again beat he was hurting four out of five of the games never saw him play football again very excited for him to come back and will he survive we don’t know we’ll

Find out we hope so we certainly hope so but we’re looking down there at CJ Stout Houston were like oh the next 10 years in Houston are a problem you’re saying that that is not a real thing we should label on anybody like Bryce young should not have that expectation because look

At that Houston roster yeah roster is way better than that Carolina roster now it is but it was crop every no name wide receivers we had no idea who those guys were before the year started no we had no who anybody was well I think part of

It is and they became well part of it is we didn’t know who tank Dell was going to be who was obviously a really part important part of the football team Nico Collins went from this you know like I think Nico was a fourth or fifth round

Pick to I mean he’s played himself into being a number like a real number one conversation wide receiver the thing that schz SCH schz was a good player in Dallas I think the thing that like got lost in the conversation offseason wise of Houston was that offensive line was

So much better than Carolina’s they got tonsil their interior three are freaking awesome and their right tackle who stayed healthy finally was a really good player so like that’s the the difference slck too right doesn’t he deserve it that there was unknown of how good Bobby

Slowick was going to be an yeah but can’t they make the offensive line better Houston offense coordinators yes oh yeah somewhat but that’s still a good group like that offens line potato group You’ write it on your hand right on your hot potato know what you used to write on

Yours Hot Potato get that ball out get it Out
