Russian to be there that's I was there -- what it's been it's probably been more years enough Mike mayo wants accounts since being a defensive standout at Boston College. I just figured out baseball Boston -- well now with the NFL network Mike Matt Jones on the ball -- morning. Good boy all right I loved that Boston accent I really benefit were you what any good baseball.
I think people probably argue about that I look at and a BC baseball people that probably wasn't very good.
Really your captain. I had was widely Beckett threatened I didn't read some of the baseball Sergio Garcia guy a you -- from spent some time around -- might revert parochial earlier in Boston and generally we go right to the patriots are going to pick at number seven but. Boston College as as a dog in this fight as well let's go to the top of the draft them looking your mock draft. You have up Matty Heisman -- on number one.
It took me. Worst case scenario we go to number eight the Baltimore I know the Baltimore people pretty well I know they've been all -- for over a year now but I think he -- either one the Miami. Read what Lana who really need a franchise quarterback could be eight squeaky clean yeah franchise quarterback. Or worse case scenario and what might be best for -- career debate would be slightly to number eight Baltimore.
Yeah -- he'd he'd certainly be safer there and at the top with with Parcells. It doesn't strike me the Parcells has the patience to groom a young quarter bike back like Matt for three or 45 years and still be around to see the rewards.
Well I mean not. Bill has stripped the franchise quarterback -- guys know that you know what Drew Bledsoe. You know he was at a younger Bill Parcells -- the I'm but I would question whether match really that far away number one's in. Meteors might feel Matlock I -- to -- quite cool he's from the Philadelphia area where I live. It all all. John walker was the quarterback at Boston college and it got hurt that allowed that -- play and -- and I -- college roommate did. So -- see -- for years I've gotten to know the cute and some people might say that -- prejudiced however I would tell those people. No we keep better than anybody but all the -- so.
I don't think he's going to slip to eight I wish she would -- would you market they could be better off there in Baltimore but. Given the choice Miami your land which is the better situation for him.
I think my enemy is and and the only reason I say that is I I played football ourselves. I know he's trying to do I understand that program. Whereas when you talk about Atlantic you're talking about a new general manager the -- off who you guys -- Velarde went. You're talking about a new head coach and to meet just a little bit of the fear of ya know. You're not sure what those two guys you're going to do now that they officially have the power to bill. Though to meet no one bat like I -- like that he would be there in Miami war in ball.
No matter where he ends up Mike do you think there's any chance or or horse. Small -- what percent of -- think there is that that Matt Ryan would be unsuccessful would be a bust in the NFL.
If you will what pretty eclectic Matt competes so good and and I almost franchise quarterback -- and I don't use that very easily. Is because I think he's got the work ethic. And the passion for the team that Peyton Manning goes so it pump fake and a guy in adopted and especially the quarterback position. You know we can all put that they wanted to die wade look on -- work that Turkey cat right. I walk I walk with a net -- what I want to -- god apparently put all of the most important thing it is light. And -- intelligence and talk that the war epic all come into debt and and that committee. Is why Mack -- will not -- and in barring injury you know people talk about they picked smaller kind of stuff that Matt had nineteen interceptions he EP -- that stuff in there. I'd bet that al format right.
Hey Mike what will be the harder adjustment for him to make the physical aspect of the game being so much faster than it is at the college level with a mental aspect of everything he thinks he seeing these really announcing at all.
You usually I would say the latter I'm a big believer that the ball old mental part of it even what makes it so fast. When you initially get there especially the quarterback position it is illegal. I would need to what the NFL asks quarterback processes are instantaneous information within about a second half. But in about a two year time frame I think Matt Wallach felt that so. It's the most difficult piece of the possible probable for quarterback but I think it's what eat dog passed so. It I think what's going to happen at the end but the Miami pulled sit on the bench about -- year. And -- that I'd bet he'd start to gel a little bit. You know both -- to work him in the lineup in the second half the.
In your latest -- might have derrick Harvey -- that's a bit from Florida going number seven to the patriots. What if will tell us why you you like Harvey to the new coming in New England. And also what if Vernon Golston from Ohio State would have he's still on the board.
Yeah I do that those -- two requested. Keep in mind and a mock draft obviously there's no treaty involved we gotta find people I'm Mata down the back guy and I see it -- so you might know that he's not even in my top it's. It if he ends up in that top and uncalled that are somebody could have -- the Oakland takes make that instead of -- in. He could fly a couple -- and I think -- to -- need to make the most sense for waiting on our Chris long and Bernie called it. And you know Vernon -- it is about as talented. Russia outside linebacker would be that's bandit type team come out a lot reminds me a lot of Sean Murray when he came to an explosive well off all of you put the tape all of Michigan or Wisconsin yet except for those two games now you've probably put the tape want to Kent State in Italy and always on the field. So you have to -- indicated explosive but he he's athletically superior but he doesn't show up every play worth Chris long. Is also an athletic freak even know people want to put that boulder you know what a great motor what he -- that great motivate awful freak.
You have them going six which is almost seven which is going to get some people on here excited that. A milk diapers and on number one. In my hand what.
huge Chris long period as a matter fact his father and I IE his father was might preclude it off in college when I was a freshman. Well I've known al only for thirty years now I've known -- also felt.
What are closed the deal you couldn't get how income that Chestnut Hill.
I I don't verbal commitment that we can't have a critical to deal that. -- the -- a lot of leagues I don't comment I don't know people you guys that but but.
Is looking at this lawyers take on Chris also -- he could slip to seven -- people run in go crazy.
Let let me I don't think he's -- that -- when he -- team -- he looked assumed that right goes for spoke back. I think saint Louis said the choice to make and I think they're going to take the double. Now it wouldn't surprise -- they took -- but then you go to Atlanta. And it you know Vick when did beat but the -- is probably more important in the heat of the -- didn't they took a -- that's event last year. In the first round Jamaal Anderson. Oakland I don't think they're going to take that long I've really go I don't think he's in the next. -- up but the wind helped more than anything they're going to try to treat you know they want to trade down and get him out -- if Chris long. The storm aborted life. Don't be surprised that the patriots are looking to trade up to -- to get ahead of me -- Okay they also took up the third round pick in the united Barrett wore the first ninety or record books and they've got a little bit of ammunition moved in swat. But but like -- Criss might all all the way to seven now. What they can what you just did move it -- to -- together yeah I don't an inept atypical for bill Scott they'd rather go the other way trade.
Talk with Mike mail from the NFL network and Mike times aside weights aside measurements aside even -- performance aside. Which which guy coming out is the most NFL already the guy that's going to make the most impact as a rookie with whatever team he ends up --
It it comedy I would spend a quick walk yeah late in every little effect basically that is because. He can provide impacted so many different ways and we take a look what the giants did do you guys in the superbowl. And that -- even versatility would eat at lineman flashed linebacker can blooper into the ground or stand up -- They've just been talking movement mediate gap in create a mismatch. Chris long is the only guy in this threat -- at 340 cents I could -- up in all seven position. I don't think I've ever been able say that about any player.
What's your opinion of dominate Roger is Cromartie you've got to met ten in your top ten going of the saints they'll cut is going to come here to New England -- The best corner on the board.
He's not my operated corner I think wielded the elbow and Torre is about a quarter today quicker I mean he would be great -- he's the return specialist he's physically stop quote Marty might have the most upside of any quarter in the drafted and build towards that make me nervous -- You know -- ourselves and say potential means you -- Dunlop and yet. And and that's kind of what it -- with Dominik rider scored -- 180 -- al east so eating when he turned sideways cute thing. He's got but he's got an explosive both. At -- good ball skills. And -- ridiculously well he changes direction ridiculously well but I'd want my caddie out with and is dead at Tennessee State eat it did anybody adult.
We can't -- his name managers -- two -- about it but I'm ready to go all in front of long it's nice and short what how far Mike do you think. McFadden could potentially slip along with ESPN have liked the camera and his baseball he sweat it out on draft day.
Well first of -- don't forget camp. We've -- bit quiet also.
That's well be would you open and we have Adam schaeffler on every week we -- everything that's a don't want. And we love we love with the -- as -- who he works with he works with the world and all. The other -- and neither. The young lady got Kara Henderson Garret Anderson are brightly during one night -- she is we just remember it it just shows and game which he looks like at the how far does the defense slipped potentially.
Well yeah I'll take a lot of heat because the oldest but but. I'm not a bad guy obviously I don't think it's up by a beat your top ten older. In your word about anywhere from fifteen to thirty million dollars in guaranteed money. Given you all the fuel situation in and I don't think he's as good on the field before they even -- given the all the -- potential problem. I wouldn't take him back on the money itself. They get your question Oakland is a real possibility for him war. I think beating -- would beat tenth it is -- but but I don't think he's going to go with the debate character reader. -- I could see and slide all the way to Chicago with fourteen and Chicago happen to make a decision and I think the other caveat in their. He Jerry Jones just sit back there point 82148 the Arkansas grad. I don't think he's going to trade up into the top six or seven the trying to get him but at the it bad and sparks fly at all lob Brady Quinn I think Jones -- that triggered it up and get.
In my final question for me speaking of Jerry Jones is speaking of bad character and off the field guys that's a newspaper yesterday said them. A number of teams handled teams showing at least some level of interest in suspended quarterback at pac man Jones. Who wants to play for the cowboys give this guys history leave it at that. Do you think there will be more than one or two idiots who are willing to bring this guy into their into the locker room.
Well I. I'm going to quote on my favorite people market they do it is almost quoted an inflated -- the urge all of you beat both.
It.
And it and it the end of the day unfortunately he's he's a really talented that are. And and probably a couple briefly in the legal look at it and go convince themselves that they structure a contract the right way to mitigate. Problems given off the field but. What I would see -- back loaded contract with somebody says that you basically. You play well eat -- you know you don't get any trouble down the road you get more more money.
That's heard quotes from deep throat and I recognize.
Asked if he'd you know what it is not what people but it certainly could be optical.
woman could be every guy wants Detroit's Mike Jamie Silva is not your top five for safeties are you of the school one scout called in the next Pat Tillman does he have a chance for that.
I loved being soul and you -- not been easy he's not my top five. He got a 48 European Cup plus the mind that each of the football player and I'd with a practiced -- east west game. As for two days and and out -- spotlight happened because. People told me the want the competition level increased it yet to cover wideout and you know he would be able to make plays only did was make two with three interceptions that day in practice and make plays so. He's the kind of kid and I told the city park and I think Gaby you're gonna have to -- the hard way. If you're gonna have to embrace special teams you're gonna happen -- like a media act like you all are and will make every tackle on special -- pitcher on the initial -- And then two to three years from now only going to get hurt or something's gonna happen you're gonna get a chance the spark -- you won't give up the doppler ten year so. He he's the kinda cute there can be only expect that all is way low blow up there and ultimately play a lot of years and public.
as as a guy who played for Belichick give us just your gut instinct where does this whole Matt Walsh. Potential scandal where does it go from here what do you think's going to happen when he finally gets in -- the finding gets and is allowed to speak.
You know they -- what the point where I don't really care in -- from Philadelphia and then there's this certain senator in the state of Pennsylvania that's driving all the great year he turned the radio more than. You know there's this guy just won't speak your voice in I think it's -- which -- and in really you know the -- I think the commissioner's power to do he's job. I don't really like my tax dollars be locked up outside of the trying to help the commissioner of the whose job I'm just really anxious to have -- umpire.
We call Mercury Morris -- around here at at at. -- got from the NFL network thanks that's not we appreciate your input today. Eight I -- great -- I'd like -- up with Dennis and Callahan
