Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

Right now we're joined by our NFL insider that you want them to turn here's your one of our guys -- Of one of our other guys is our buddy Vic Richey from NFL that cal in the NFL network mr. -- GO you today. Do walk -- could be -- They victims only one real question and -- asked -- this one. When they come and to take Al Davis away.

Well. I don't know. But also addressed it. If had changed and order figure under distributors that is on that -- the competitive so he's he's all about speak it's another receiver that. Natural gas and I want that guy and he said that I'm traffic yet through all his years of autograph football.

So is their entire extensive scouting basically the Columbine and what guys -- the forty yen is that if I mean they avoided details.

I'm sure that they actually ordered everything else. -- our audit that it is for directors receiver with that probably exceptional speed that it. They were very happen. Is going to have a better chance of getting sick over. What -- what else -- the Patricia Madrid. Michael Crabtree and and and -- back a lot fact that entry. Exceptionally fast before the age which.

It was there you heard at the draft that stuff that would jumped off the off the charts that would've been just a a great story -- it seems like right now. The -- stealing. As Pete said the Oakland dealing because there's been a lot of chuckles out there but the jets to the real gamble -- up to a five. Was there anything out there that you heard that -- really made today.

Well I I I think they've admitted that there are post true almost flush it out there really good pitcher. And by elder tree and and it up with well equally good as a text all. And and -- traits being executed a -- they keep they keep visit. But -- I think that's were trying to capture or I would distressed about stature as Trey. Gave it. There's the excitement and start futile -- topless. And get rid of all I want and usually took place where it's gonna. The the car -- before that. Where. -- It tool you know big basketball being everything or keep doing this -- the jets all -- went to as but he won't. The -- ticket such entrenched and Arctic media and education is a large -- I think they gave up too much because I think what they gave up. Record -- as the duke lost their courage and do well. No solution for peace stiffer compare -- That's eighty but if it's if it could be -- which gave up. As well as being executed is at quarterback gave a little bit shorter -- okay expert right. About all they are educated people legitimate contender. Street got a quick.

A victim when you look at that the run up to the draft in the BJ -- you rumors which -- way to -- but he didn't test positive for marijuana at the Columbine. -- have and he still goes to point to Andre Smith that. Forgettable sure it was run around -- felt. In the and he goes number six. Do you are you a point like I kind of AM to wear. The over sensationalism. Suppose it missteps. We spend too much time on in in the and they don't really matter that much.

I I agree. Take a lot more attention is cute too that it's actually the church of a question about. Every show that I think it also by -- like a statement about distressed. At what it. It'll be talent that I thanks so much focus which. Periphery. Can't add much more. An actual you know actual player or. -- is it easier user all the guys can help team and I and I figured if statement I'll treasure. -- The way to treat each other challenged. Treated. Tell retreat out pretty well -- from -- we players this year. And it's a case that's it asked if she. Accumulating extra pictured here.

In the -- fourteen seasons pick which one of 31 round quarterbacks we'll have been to a pro war which while we sit. Earlier period what -- and 34 by the is down the road which all in March. My approval. Which will be approval planet which one will be sitting and --

which. You're -- Roddick and their big guys and the guy of the tree that I think. Probably has the most natural ability and and should should do the bulge over the course of time window bigger despite cup. I political what you Agence I think -- because it because the program each -- from. The the media arbitrary he got there the because route to cure all and and -- program and also. Wanted to look at or portrait he's had I think -- is point to thank. Considerable -- to mr. To considerable. You know it'll go all out to make this guy exit as well Russia amber what they're trying to do and I think with at least effort which are treated. I have bigger question marks about what they're getting into in addition to the question marks about beer. Overall --

The last three years yankees you look cute you know JaMarcus Russell with the raiders Matt Ryan with the -- now staffer with Detroit. Take away Matt -- each year last year you know take away the great here that he had Atlanta going into the draft -- those three top to bottom one being the best. Who's the top guy coming out of those three whose source.

And and you broke up before that the -- are.

Matthew's Matthew Stafford who JaMarcus Russell. In Matt Ryan not knowing what Matt -- would've died while you're going into the.

Or I stole. What shall at the top. I because I think he had them all natural biggest -- All of the actual skill at all poll if -- put in the best situation this strategic started which jaw by reaching question about it. You know the wisdom of the text and what they've done right on the quarterback but but it should that's about the part of their -- is -- Affair just got to academics such maybe cut -- which he extra difference. There are a lot of other things over to that all the cheap -- of the player I'd put I'd put shall first. And what are Wichita about what I'd do it last year support and and advanced effort.

I what do you know where does that Julius Peppers situation. Stand in Carolina is agent doesn't seem to be talking right now. They've got a mini -- coming out later on in the week which they're not sure he's going to attend. He still hasn't signed the tender offer which Belichick came on this program and said that. It's hard to do business with a mentally signs that a tender -- what happens here that.

It should have pretty. You know and a couple of extra expect to point out. That aren't. Text editor -- agent has been Jewish underground for a now almost all of and and has had Austin straight straight out my eye opener -- lot of people try to reach out to you would preacher daddy. For awhile and that his thoughts on but the -- the well -- so and the deal to you tend to eat and do something to possibly secure. It is well I achieved with her life that is straight up and I'm beginning to wonder I I thought it was or intrigue to the story beginning to doubt thank. Or ergo I'm beginning to -- thank you note that maybe the people bottle tributes it is agent. Judge don't have temple on what they want to period and I've I've just question thing kind of a decision. Because it has to be question because at Carolina there's. The printers and anyone else I hope. By giving this -- off their hands if you expect at this stressed it's over so. Do you really have a should should church structures and -- 2010. Picks -- out there are now. But but but but I'd -- the one thing that shocks -- it I thought we would've had. They -- solution to what he established his captors really -- and no receipt for. You know for the captors to -- article and GM -- All we expect we expect we expect to have that ought to expect all of -- why it's the a lot like what they just have about the tender just move forward.

The funny thing -- he has no reason to hold that's the most puzzling thing. And when you ask people why do you think -- get sixteen point six. Why do you think he wants to leave the Panthers which is a playoff team. They said well the conjecture has always been in North Carolina elves live -- change of venue there is no real injustice that. That's what I gather exactly know why does he want to go someplace else.

Yeah I I on the 04 minutes in advance have really great point I don't know what what were missing. Because they're Belichick should be. They were mystic Indian tribe that analysts.

What do people think about bill Belichick's clients and trading note is and the patriots. Over the course of the last few years and why don't more teams employ that strategy. That the patriots do because it's it's not as if having you -- the Cleveland Browns do it -- patriots have been doing a few years. What do other teams think of it and why don't more teams to.

Yeah I I think. You know I would have argued that. It is what is. First bought figure you'd have to talk of out what -- was or what and what what was a draft order would do lead players and I think. That the driving force behind I'll patriots Campbell but I I think if if the -- defined group argue over all all. That's an it would have been active but I don't of cubic seven trade I think betrayed the outward movement and an accumulation of Lauren. -- text is much more reflective which reflect the two things out of an absence did in India -- didn't want agreed to -- where's the game. Apparently players available they want and I also think it's reflective. Of our economy of what it all you always are gonna all of which that and in perhaps you're gonna take too much money for for routers or routers. And make its way to maybe making -- statement about that if you actually built but but he that you could go to your order we have up on a side. -- Dimension number and 41 million dollars -- netted. That you don't spend money at -- that's what we're gonna load up or shoppers took trappers extra aware that we're a load up the war. Fire ball out of that and and the patriots are one if you keep this week. That kit that doesn't have the like what it's as great players -- good player or stock or platters where there's to be found. Wait a direct.

How much of it though is if you're real good football team and they're real good football team you can do something like this. If beauty that's sexy pick if you need to sell tickets you need to sell some marketing. You can't necessarily do this because it takes too long for these guys that developers and is. You need to have something flashy on drafting to be able actually market to.

I agree with that I mean you do -- you can't you can't. Where securabit secured a position where you got -- but still got to fight topic itself next much the -- to the -- when they one at -- It -- got a call it's but but as far as power -- can position warrior this good. It's consistently good draft -- making right decisions scouting you're Peter that which -- that -- Where now that you could sort of was she can afford to do this on which surely have direct question and they'll. I'm not so sure that. Splashy moves. Make up for. It it make it Buick short term ability yourself think it's a battle that could also.

It's funny and he talked about -- missing this the first year where the cowboys aren't a player in the draft that seems like every year. You know the number one cameras in their their war room and -- brought up the point they are good team delicately team the cowboys are good team yet still Jerry needs the fact that new stadium. He needs to get luxury boxes sold. I'm not -- in -- what are they happy whether -- not close TO right.

Now I. I think they -- quarterback and and also I think when you've got when you've got a church quarterback in their view with Tony Romo. Some some complementary talent. With him what you gonna -- as they -- pretty good. Yes secure approach and -- a terrific college approaches dressed like this. You know very shortly that would interest that they that they did picture of the outward movement. And and they are they admittedly said what we this year with get special -- we will work round pick ourselves -- baker tricky do you really strong. And again that's sort of -- that that's you know it didn't have. Desperate whole host of old but yet to -- opposite they do. They're not -- that oh if they don't PepsiCo had a field this year I don't think -- a game. This is changing. Making it would make it and earlier that she's here for this doubles for expects larger -- going to have to -- church just feel.

We've talked enough but the jets what about the other two teams in the AFC east and and specifically buffalo I thought those weeks at number eleven. We think about Miami and in buffalo both in this draft.

I didn't -- the bill stripped that I didn't I didn't hate it I just thought it was okay I think there may be in may make sense for them. You know. Not to take it got -- that -- rushed essar. And and be good physical -- in terms structure for. That quick. I took it stretched all eyes that. Dick Jauron papers but there will be a lot of -- over the fact that they passed over Michael horrible I think there are going to be paid as a -- to tackle. Yes or the fourth of of the -- probably it for real beer got. But take it a battle which probably reached that what they decided they value on the other picture word. And treaty India that feature. Kate you know sort of which acted diet for different spots I like they're like offered -- it would -- out of comfortable. When you've got to keep big spot on your quiet city while this government which might regard to attack I. But what I do think that the pick that that could prove to be the best of all of this year. Is Sean Nelson. The plate and -- four. I think real value choice who a guy who could probably up directly to catch.

If you look at what the dolphins did you know. -- They ran the wildcat last year smoked the patriots with that they take pat white in the second round so he's going to play quarterback we're -- see Dan -- Take this thing a step further this year at certain Escude in. With the Saudi out of it but.

Yeah and all I I think you have to first while while -- You -- all -- can't stated at that aggregate the coaching -- credit forge creativity for certain forward thinking. That they're not going to. Peach stagnant weather and I think this election -- Provide. The versatility it the ability to. It -- to make use of him quickly. If he's not ready to ignored and I don't expect to appeal to -- way to core package one but he can be a dynamic retriever. Effect but he can't control all. Create some very into -- there for their offense putting -- on the old. If you assuming -- mission accomplished on September it is going to war -- point forced it expenses. To have. Something. -- think about in addition while -- or or or at least think that the oil kept quite -- progression for.

It's not about some things to talk about what. Cut off the -- from your thought and -- last week by the commission was talking about moving its Super Bowl possibly London I -- tell you -- I think it stinks he's -- cents. Yeah well I know he said it now because it's been a lot of pressure but I just think to take that biggest -- out of -- countries' economies ridiculous that the that it's and he did and spoke to begin with and it's crazy.

I called -- all in. I'm not as good as it's ever gonna ever happen. Right. I'd be pretty shepherd all about it -- Opening. Achievement it is a lot of logistics. To all arbitration that would need to be result in. I think it's almost throw out there you it's in the.

But I don't understand why. Why why move this country -- the biggest event this country every year out of the country I don't -- that -- invention knowledge that probably says in an hour that he says known doesn't want the polls this week.

I would just tell you that -- It would if you're doing the worst possible thing as an organization Little League -- kind of you know broad term global but he. Try to I waste at a merger and what can better thing they do that -- that this is the met the much that it actually -- a look at every possibility. But a lot of possibilities of the -- and -- the year's comedy. -- that I hope they don't act that -- and so on.

According you here where is Jason Taylor other any other teams other then Miami. And new England and is Miami. Is Bill Parcells willing to take him back right now or is that Jason Taylor not wanting to leave home.

I I think he -- You know I don't all all what. He has or I think they've made the mountains -- early. I know I don't be I think that it really doesn't want to be whispered to strict training camp anywhere. I don't know how much that's going to be a problem I certainly don't want to -- what -- up they told me this is about. It after the Nazis keep but I doubt and then there is going to show up for camp at some point about. Could be the likelihood is that it would be -- it by every because that's probably where you want they have to get one done. Scriptures -- you liked the export -- that he answered is doing and that he could fit well not I'm record they are. He had one of his seasons as an outside linebacker and that I -- the again I think just watch and in Albany outreach --

A -- real quick what were your impressions of the press briefing and do you think that the CBA gets done and labor strife is averted did before next year -- we going to have to put up some drama.

I think there's a art which opened this bid again which somebody's bigotry it will not -- which is but how did you. College -- in the bigger -- will repeat were kept up 41 but it I'll throw that into the pot. But but I also think that seems to me ought to pretty level headed guy I don't think he's about opera itself accused of burglary. In the -- aborted plot with all at. Or title of he has an alarmist perspective. He dealt an attorney said I've been involved where it. -- Crimes they could beat street murder such. (%expletive) let's prevent perspective. Working on here -- football professional sports and his body that can negotiate on. In in ten. Context. It's chopping at him. -- it's not a big deal but he's unity and bigger deal should work.

my friend it's always great talking to you won't do it again zone thanks neck are accurate -- NFL dot count the NFL.

Work are you in the big show.
