Victor roots don't expect -- guy motivate -- some sort weather update. -- buffalo was a -- a lot of -- I don't know island New York, New York even regular city right.

I -- you got your children out there are are clear how will have no really been whether it is just difficult to teacher look at outside at all ratio windows like kidding that you guys actually just building.

You know your -- FL like we're doing this for years Steve's an expert an expert we're going to work him this weekend you an -- of next my name is revert

pressure will be totally and I don't know I don't know -- good. I don't have we're probably hanging out at the draft.

With our two experts we have a day off. -- I spent the last 12 weeks researching his draft inside out and take into his --

don't you know the draft Tuesday's second most I would sporting event. It's called supporting him in the second most current events torched pollution global.

That that would not surprise this got the -- covered by the way these guys are pitching of that. They're viewed around these parts is lesser tears now there are no longer I would. Analysts -- the loss that goes yes I'd. I would rather.

I have to shape and and it you know that two forward toward the river this week very. Unbelievably great party for the grand opening. Approach these student -- these -- Edmonton Oilers and they had you know seeing these guys in the east so much I mean there -- he had -- And and it just it didn't seem -- that they were well dressed. And civilized and they actually looked like a restaurant tour relationship they look like they were indoors not out of their element in -- on the me.

I don't know about you let you put it in the suit he's still sweat but that's all it. What I saw a lot of them splitting I wasn't sweating just practicing Ivan Radenovic you go with who knows anybody you were you surprised myself please Woodward.

I well so -- just -- yeah yeah which is it is incredibly that you don't. I think it can look at guys like for a guy guys like Fred do you just to basically perfect guy to appeal is supposed to be every -- type -- man and this is not in every match at a -- placed on the situation strewn through week sophisticated. Hi -- I'd pictured corporate meetings in America are sitting on the road and I can still struggled or ever will stick to their promotional whether I'd be (%expletive).

I get a get a -- if I was I'd like you were shocked when I first went down there. Outlook of the Hamburg okay that's -- offense that's not expecting.

And different guys they would need. Recalls it -- mirror you know. Somebody behind them yeah with a big right floor we have let's have a job that's all without -- I was -- I didn't see that guy everybody can just you know expression outspoken. In in total I didn't need and you know I important -- actually different it's English. Phenomenal exhibit because it is going to be -- all that you can't do that restaurant probably would be a good deterrent with a well let's just beautiful typical so. And in all of derrick Rick it's got they have great food preparation period from.

I let's get to the NFL draft -- have you're down there -- we know what's going bunt. Eyes bizarre we thought they would -- a couple of hours ago. And they of course of toothpicks lower the first round at 2428 and he said that everybody seems to be calling to drop now. And there are many takers right now what are you yep there.

I've been hearing that yes there does -- match moved to try to. Do you suppose it is top ten spots to distract. Trying to get took -- the next panel -- to the very bottom or just pick up additional second and third rounder Justin camps and it's not going to happen because there are. There's too much demanded not enough -- willing takers at the other end to blow up because they don't want to do this you know -- do this for a full week and the other dynamic to -- history of -- draft is is -- struggles that teams are having to really get food and orange around understanding -- All the you know the quality of talent from it truly is the first round of the truly should be go to -- should go -- these the first day eccentric. And it really really getting a feel for what did you tell us about what I what I want I left let the morning after the year's grand opening more litmus test earlier that we expect at Logan Airport. I'm waiting from my point conversion walking you know -- about a quarter after reading from a place of it and -- work -- Peoria and it was clear that he was doing something. You know kind of a last minute checking and so -- and I can just see that that if you're to a -- due diligence. You're going to defined industry -- if you're not a traditional line and maybe what you think you know you're going to have a problem.

What's making people you know what's causing a hiatus from the topics this year with the raiders might do.

There's a lot of uncertainty -- and you're right about the greatest at a point where hubbub about the student discipline you know strict and so should not that -- The guy next -- longtime league employee terms treats us. -- evolution might not take -- And I look at at a much you really think that's going to bureaucratic finished logical upstairs to go to my -- my -- going to cost -- finished. He -- take take a miracle it is going to take quite. And then replica helmet and then about five seconds let me go so well that we approach people attracted no. He's been out there stick with what to do an obstacle and Russell I sit down and I give it to about it should have -- might midafternoon -- fabrics. Got a high school career perimeter ticket Kelton judge opposition in a nutshell guys sums up to leadership certainly.

Well as a multi person -- that would. At -- what's your gut feeling that we think the raising him not logical thing what you -- that knew how do you think it's going to piano

GI acknowledge it yet to figure this value to him just adequately at all. Sort of way of thanking him and I thought -- sort of really revealed where he was coming from and distressed his starched. -- the league meetings so last month in Arizona one if you are talking about in a lobby and he's just got action about it produced about controversial he just talking about him in terms of I have in the big arm strength. Why can't John Elway he's he's Kevin like always position change any -- he can throw across his body he could do almost. Incredible doubles remarkable things at the very few quarterbacks in this game to do. And he's got that talent and he's he does have good instincts and should we can -- Really make him into a great quarterback could you only did you know won't. Rear chances to get -- and after last year after they passed up by the chance to get -- liner to go over the safety experts and I you know he can you really afford to miss just trying one more year.

Affect you view you can talk detail about. About when he and I talked about it about -- Evaluate a player of present system -- more for old style house right jolly thinks it -- going to be a -- stuff and.

Absolute church -- couldn't be more emphatic about his you know it is his his opinion about Clinton as 1 of the PG you can gradually -- third best quarterback in the league right now. Before he even puts out an NFL uniform -- Tom Brady and after treatment in order. That's what he told. It is the third best guys right now and he said prefer more furcal and should be the fourth. Overall pick up the floor that -- should be able to go sort of a map and he should do and I you know I I have driven my -- mock draft at night -- doesn't agree with I'm just putting up with a team and -- have -- practically now forced to Miami and I'm just putting -- with a team that I think it's. Puts him in the best situation to succeed. You go to post like Cleveland they've got it done no question -- coordinator rod trojans can you would been there before he backed. And now he's going to run this offense and I don't know that that's going to I think he's going to benefit from they're could be another coaching change we all know that you know that Romeo Crennel is is really kind of taken by a thread this season -- could be a turnover in Cleveland again. And I just think you know to get the most out of that kid. He has to be in this specific system with the right teacher with a right if you don't instructions that he got had in college.

Mean what what I'm hearing and reading though. Victor oh does seem like Cleveland is very high on him Packard obvious smokescreen but -- okay and is -- the owner looking its -- all yep.

They could be and and and it might not be -- PR standpoint. It would provide to you know that the hometown guy Ohio born guy. Cool little -- over the browns -- brown uniform you know that story can. Could be written again and the classic -- for dusty not tell if I was a local guy lives in Akron and and then met them you know it probably got something maybe there you have your go to guy named you know -- jerk him around local kid made good. Now you know you can you can go back to that story can introduce you different cannot fully but if you went six games is that going to be enough to create or afford games. Is that going to be enough to sustain hopefully your fan base which has grown so so restless.

You know we're is that we're we're losing. Bob Lewis Matt Millen -- if you draft.

Well it's -- Little to lose at this time for the 107 at a time acquired out pac bell and -- I don't think they are going to -- Kelvin Johnson with the second -- that is what I don't think it's with the intention of keeping jobs that I think it's with the intention of sticking to your board -- This is the best player in the entire draft they -- it -- don't take him which I think would be good you know I don't think they will pick up and and he's still sitting there. That he has to be taken with the second pick based on value. But then you are. -- constantly that I understand because as we are speaking better and complications the lions we have to Tampa Bay Buccaneers for probably some other teams maybe a little work with the intention of you know swapping places and I think ideally they'd like to do with the box because the buccaneers move into that spot to get Johnson to. Diaw glides over before they get the -- they really want who is Gaines Adams from Clemson but taking -- event but taking him in the number two spot. There's probably two.

Cricket is that. Invite all over analyzes draft -- just not as good draft does have seen in in the past and I told --

I think you forever analyze that I would I think it's just could I don't think it's any worse than test trips to. And I hear that talk now that well after dinner after point -- it might not match surely be so good. I think it's it's it's a very good draft -- man I'm not saying miss this you know -- if you put. You know -- is it is put talk prospect as could be had and and he's not going to be -- first contact. Put there are other players like that I keep hearing more more excitement over the players who are going to be taken in the latter part of the first day. Early part of the second date you know around you know that term mr. irrelevant taken a guy at the very end of the draft. I think we almost have to do away with that because I don't think there's anything irrelevant about he will be in the -- travel anymore because I think those players as you go to -- contributing.

Well and at 14 X -- was -- 14 day there was some good it was a middle round pick did you happen to talk about -- to an ignorant.

I -- I here you know nothing but good things about. You know although the -- basic elements of skeleton lets put put aside the qualities so it is -- character there's intelligence of -- evolved. -- lead the of the things that that you we will expectancy of a player I want to see it apart it's sick but the on athleticism it is time especially in the short shuttle. Where he was a sub four eight times in the year awards support a 37 arrangement if they have them.

Right arms poetry -- bad bad bad staff jumped out a lot of scout I talked to because short area explosiveness and order your agility. Is what you want to see and that reactive position of what dark.

Who had to do -- particularly in the third round and know what's called open complained.

I hit right I had him -- top tried inside linebacker -- And and I know he's inside or outside and I picked it might be a substitute you can do you -- better as an outside but that is really in the I have to be older. Teams -- kind of want a bigger taller -- for that position which is -- their false maybe -- somebody who's who's just a little more compact. But you're the versatility if I have an -- the fifth spot among Iraqis and I'll take our regular complaints constantly via email. For a lot of things should mostly my looks. I think it opens New England people were not -- that were put on me for having Jack connect grouping of -- nobody thought we should you should have someone else third. And I probably couples complaint to just about every other position that I now.

Adrian Peterson -- running back from Oklahoma suddenly teams it's like he's one of those guys that -- flies all over right now that you dropping down and that was because of this called Romo problem. Pretty shy -- shied away from it from lifting and doing some other things how badly as it damaged his stock.

I don't know that it's damaged -- all that tremendously I mean I think this is one of those late two things that someone who would love to get Peterson below the top five pick kissed his try to put up there and and try to. -- emphasized to cause a little bit of freefall children will fall right took them well this totally espionage it goes out every year you know you can I still remember one of the best was Dan Marino and you know the rubber to use of marijuana. And they're -- utility -- Not cage admired.

He should have been a patriot --

Shouldn't they actually should have been Pittsburgh steeler little they were afraid of him in the fortunes of the Steelers in the fortunes of relatively short term crucial torturous -- dolphins. When opposite directions they can be directly traceable. To attempt to them not getting Republican that's I think if you look at you look at it Peterson. Still you know -- talent and enough medical people that teams I I talk to teams who have told me what their medical steps upset about him. Haven't talked to doctors about this but. Getting it second hand there're there're all getting no real alarms that that he can still this kid. There's to a guy who could -- between the tackles behest -- fiesta over the shoulders and he can run outside he can catch the football still an extremely talented guy and operation defensive kind of guy -- we we talked with them yesterday -- don't want to hear the annual draft watchers. And he was the one getting he handled himself really well he was getting the harshest questions about commercial --

You wonder when you talk about the team's playing games out -- how much of this stuff actually goes on and -- Recently brought recently or read a piece were that the team executive was saying there are certain players that they're -- stated very high on it in the draft. But they don't even invite them. Into their into their recipe that didn't bring them again because they don't because they report will pick up on it. They're afraid that that team's been around him in the draft. Are going to put them on the board as a team that they've got to be careful if they want to get deployed.

Gelatin is -- so outrageous and the era of the Internet where information and teams can use a lot of remember the teams can use a lot of this information. Well this just distribute distribution dissemination of information to their advantage. By putting out there what they want not you know a lot of reporters. And and I I try to keep my guard retired they camp but every now that I get I get tickets smacked in the irishman -- But you've you've -- all of us argument and and 11 mister -- mr. Personnel go higher head coach you know cautioned Barrett real quick. It's just kind of sure that's what if we could look at themselves don't children that it and we seat and it's a -- think he's either. That it and there's something wrong with that and we don't like just and we did an out of out of that injured getting this stuff finish elevate because you're getting -- Inside info from the draft -- When you know that you know this isn't like -- a decision be broadcast services and what a wild one competition. And in your next thing you could billion that at all before your -- triggered go to the keyboard. And you start writing this stuff and assistant stuff that you keep posted. On the big sites such as kind of throwback to obvious Keyaron Fox and so forth. And on a lot of these doubles satellites -- sort of speak. Where they're cottage industries of people who analyze the draft and pretty soon and this stuff to spread like wildfire and does affect opinions should -- But it's being done for the sake of making the needle -- one way or the other shall -- that's really and I -- I'll say this to -- typical player who visits should not do this because of tracking. There's this service is out there that are trekking that detailed numbers of the private jets that teams sent out so they could figure out where they planted so they could figure out. Who's -- and they connect city to city -- that must beat you know mr. -- middle linebacker visiting this --

Or the jets today equipment.

I'm sure yeah sure they would know I don't know what else would do that

who have you heard of steam it can be used to put that in the bigs right. Stuff happens down.

Yeah -- did that that's that's a good one I've I've been trying to I haven't seen it happen to too much in this draft but it has been happening a little bit. I would have to tell you you know it's it's hard to believe -- one point Jo Thomas was talked about it frantically as the number two technology could end up still. In the top five that would exactly be -- freefall -- the cardinals but I think that's that's one guy maybe a look at a lot of talk to Alan branch it's. The tackle from Michigan the more people have looked at him playing a question he cutting his work habits and so forth they're -- Consistent he really hear how hungry he really maybe 200 but trust me for the -- yeah exactly if he's fallen and Ted Ginn junior you know being here is a guy that was -- to be. May be a top ten guy may be higher than that the foot injury that he suffered during celebrations in that did national championship game has its limited what he did it -- workouts and and you see kind of -- no one can really get a true feel and I don't worry at all about.

Let me just one last question when you look me in the united the statement you made a mistake though Williams. Feed me what one Q any guy cigar talk about the growth.

No I -- I would give the guy -- office I should. You've got a --

That's salary filming what he's tenacious and he said demand that was shot that's. I was shocked about this is I was elected president of on the house rules that and the atmosphere was great -- greatly atmosphere was was good. He said to me they're going to leave -- all become like Press Secretary listed for. -- is built up this terrific career is. I get a great attention. You know he's got them on the website on the TV the whole works why the hell would he do that and he said to me going looked me in the eyes and he believed everything I said. I started laughing -- movement and Steve's -- in and we through it which which we can smart way.

Nationals -- in the kittens can stay expected drop.

Yes yes ask us yeah it was it's of the day. Of the senators -- She should've just show them today we will lose I'd pick is always it's great haven't got the program have a good -- new president mimic the -- an excellent
