Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" Welcome back Dennis and Callahan as the NFL draft approaches this weekend who better to talk to -- NFL insider from the NFL network. By the way they'll be going wire to wire head manned by our friend -- after good morning Adam Loria. China you don't you're doing very well there yeah just now. No we don't -- about it and it's always a big challenges. Being able to control your Blatter for that long. And yeah that's a little commercials. -- And I just kept that in person just like to have run really quick. You know we do we just go in the studio -- this radio it's easier."

" You know -- what he does Jessica political cover for our young men are tremendous players dwindles you know about understand their deal at all. All of a sudden the black -- don't often get protection somebody's going to try to do your -- kind of stuck."

" Makes you wash your hands where you grab your black berries yeah you had. There are right Jake law has logged off the rams are on the clock that they hold the key to this draft does that happen after that."

" I -- I don't most rational -- I think that the -- explain it right now is. Jake long obviously went one I think when Dorsey going -- there was some debate Chris long was never over one of those two players. Ultimately come back to a couple things there were told to me over the course the past couple weeks and just in my heart of course knowing what I know I believe to be Glenn Dorsey. At least that's a nightmare scenario for the Atlanta Falcons. Because they would talk to Jake long or Glenn Dorsey would have been available number three I don't think that'll happen. In that case I think their pigeon hole and I -- deal which they can do with that particular point time is take your Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan. That's -- I think he's going now. If they're not as high on him as some people. Saying it is always possible they can auction off that -- To -- Kansas City Chiefs and now have added ammunition thanks to till late night trade of Jared Allen that. The Minnesota Vikings straight first round pick to -- takes a staggering price to -- front -- If you called Baltimore Ravens say what's it worth to you. The ravens lol Matt Bryant they'd love to get him what's the worst he used to come up to number three will you give you one next year. Particular one next year -- at that age and you get your quarterback for the future now. Baltimore I think Mike you want to do that and they are. Atlanta might move back and all that already has for the first forty page certificate seven of the first 103. Stick to themselves up in the stretch in the extra I think in the city of Atlanta. Has been a tremendous job positioning themselves with a plethora of -- here. And it can be dressed. They're absolutely -- not now that number four. And yeah."

" don't keep going them. Okay maybe it's okay yeah I don't know Israel occasionally to be included I. They're go to the bathroom that's not a good."

" Oakland I know everybody and their mother is taking the greatest Darren McFadden I am not that mind I don't believe it will be done that in. I think that basically al Davis is not going to go for running the equity get a premier pass rusher. I think Vernon Gholston has the take there I think at number five. Kansas City is leftist scenario under my initial scenario with Chris long as the ticket number five. I think at least the jets and patriots in the position that they are 67 and I think to jets obviously look at the tremendous amount of -- excited. So there are some issues there and and the jets are wrestling with them and whether they feel like it's worth the gamble because there are concerns and it number seven. You have to New England Patriots and other trying to figure them out and well have been able to do is now it down. To a couple of people that I think are legitimate candidates I think -- to people that I'm in my own mind to calling -- them going west. Our USG linebacker Keith rivers. And Virginia offensive lineman Branden Albert."

" Keith rivers or Brandon Albert not his Albertson guarded Virginia correct."

" Correct don't want to tackle."

" Could play tackle does it's like he was in need or do you think this mean do you think. -- the question is can a linebacker come and play in the system and contribute right away."

" What that something. You always say that. I don't know I'm talking about but I liked was the people who deal okay I don't put on the field extensively to sit and study key turnovers and give -- educated answer in that regard. I'm just going to need. -- sources that are coming down in that world. According to everybody that keeps speaking to and narrowing it down. In key. Educated fashion now how do you believe he delivers its -- system is definitely the side and that may say you know what he doesn't. It's not worked to get as desperately -- then maybe the past but I don't -- Derrick Harvey -- youkilis -- I don't typical quarterback adapt -- extinct as much -- they need a quarterback as much that like a quarterback. Quiet actually extracted they're not -- This seventh overall pick in the ballyhooed and starches fifteen to make."

" Adam how many people are telling you that the patriots will be involved in the -- draft day trade."

" I was sent. No loss -- talks going on right now and even if people are saying to me boy the patriots are going to be involved and -- which you know what the truth of the matter is. -- you just don't know and it really heats up here. In the next few days so okay and they don't get more and more intense as the draft approaches don't get more more interest at that point in time. Well right now considering that there are -- I don't know what did their very creative they're very smart they're very shrewd. I'd be surprised if there were not a number of options that they had that were available to that sort trade is always within the realm of possibility now. In the spot that I think that the jets are an and it semi awkward position they're kind of enormous -- premium price just. And you don't know that there's necessarily a guy a premium guy that pitched into your system that you really --"

" But it sounds like -- just aren't going to impact the patriots if indeed McFadden would be their choice that's not something the patriots are looking for correct."

" It is just -- decided. Corner it's really going to go do your particular submitted the patriots what do you -- brand -- gravity gets to so much money dropped and so finally. Can you do that again it's helped -- the -- yet but. I don't know what they don't you know I think if it's best and I don't know what I guess I don't know what -- guess if they make that decision. To protest Darren McFadden what do you deal."

" They can -- they could trade the patriots trade."

" The to get the and a corner where a quarter belongs either run Rodgers Cromartie are."

" Nobody should be used used to -- When you're talking about trading at that spot you to find somebody want to trade into that spot."

" All the McFadden is on the board or Ryan you're going to find someone enamored of him."

" So -- Bryant might be on the board I'd be shocked okay don't just really surprise -- if she goes to. Ryan is not on the board now if anything goes til that changes the equation and Ryan could be on the."

" These are sexy guys and I think people are more inclined to trade up -- sexy when -- McFadden or or over Ryan or even you know Dorsey goals than one of these guys slips. Then you might have some takers who and only going to trade down to what 171820 and you get the corner you best corner on the board."

" Yeah well yeah of course stuff to go I think it right they could -- calling -- was Baltimore they could start going I don't read them with special role those are the only relevant -- spots where corners I think to be looked --"

" said the jury before we went on the air as you know this the story that's out of Seattle that the Seahawks released former MVP Shaun Alexander isn't the reason you'd might not take McFadden at 456 or seven. Well I just the shelf life these these the."

" Yeah I'm not a little bit yeah and hopefully."

" Kennedy MVP the only one we're going to get MVP finished drafting you know they get a baby MVP coach -- okay."

" Eight you don't know that beat it's it's it's -- that I'm sure Parcells. Is slept well last night on the Jake long is going to be his guy and Manning that line for. You know double digit -- here."

" Actually looked -- no question about it okay. And and I think it was depicted -- the rams so he wouldn't make -- so you wouldn't make pushed so you could probably hit it right next."

" Vernon Gholston overrated or underrated because I've heard both and -- two weeks."

" all still okay and you hear people say boy can he sacked quarterback in -- he disappeared time -- which is the guy. And quite frankly. You look at a guy -- as I have to -- measurable so okay you just freak. And two big guys like brad. Always have a home and go to but I guess it out there's -- boats so it to -- Vernon Gholston wanted to."

" And ask you this if the patriots were on the board right now if they were picking second -- the rams who they take. Pick of the litter other -- obviously Jake long -- long you think so Chris long."

" Do my guess we kind of guy and it -- a million option have -- people so. I think again under my scenario Glenn Dorsey goes to right Chris -- is available number five if you of the New England Patriots and you know -- the jets at six or seven okay you -- 667. And and you have to crop of players that we discussed to keep -- reduced -- Darren McFadden sobriety and -- in the world okay. You're looking at those players at six in the Senate. It is not worth it to say to the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay I gave you a second round pick to move up to your spot right now. We're not disorder which is scored Jackson quote basically I was underage and -- talking about not taking -- division almost take him what sort --"

" Because that's an aerial fall to the wayside if Matt Ryan's available to the chiefs. In a five."

" Well nobody available -- but she's had a choice in the Big Ten. Well I hit the eyes of elbow then my guess is as long -- probably not yeah okay so. There's one of those options that I think -- going to come to let it isn't what talked about these scenarios and -- Bible okay. -- this information dress over and this is what they should -- are permitted to breakaway to go to the -- and."

" And any chance that. Ryan goes to the jets in your mind that."

" I don't see it happening I I would assume so yes but I don't and the reason I don't because I don't think he's just get too many places to get there he he's got three. Atlanta got five Kansas City he's got a heartbeat. Chomping to trade up to get out to get that got."

" What you said the same thing I'm sure about Brady Quinn."

" No I didn't I don't remember teaching him they would trade upfront about it Jones talked about quarterbacks it is just execution by I don't think. That there was keep the talk to people trading up for Brady Quinn slash I figured that now deck there was a question where he would fall -- during the draft this. Text messaging the dolphins think what you got you guys who the vikings to gauge it Peterson they kept him -- like not so fast switched. We talked about NFL network can and I know that there -- a lot of people were very surprised it was big special achievement of dolphins -- take did. But again -- he'd do it."

" Us in -- give us will going to write this down and keep track of this for like five years because it's tough one but the biggest bust the man is there a and Ryan -- for is there a."

" Yes okay Quentin into rule rules as. Look at them and."

" Are you got an extra sixteen sacks and defensive rookie of the year and and then maybe looked beautiful."

" I don't see him in the first round of the."

" Not a particularly particularly up defensive end Robert is Audrey Bruce this year outrageous dead people are some questions. Like off field questions I'm sure there's nothing more kids and their McFadden --"

" Some questions like why would -- make him my best of the dress."

" And well. Quentin groves of right meant that they I'm sure John beck the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins is feeling good today about what the dolphins did yesterday. Might that goal by the wayside when the dolphins picked will be 33 birdie at 232."

" We'll find out okay Miami has a lot of -- they really need guards they need linebackers they meet corners statement. They need playmakers they. Video lot of success they go I'd take quarterback they'll tell you that they don't believe much jump back but I feel that turnout -- I wish him. Then in the tradition have been just account for now give me a year and -- you visited the years that."

" who's your second favorite Q o's the second best QB in your mind is that Brohm the kid from Delaware."

" I would like get Chad Henne. Any of the -- yeah."

" So Chad Henne goes to Miami the second round on the."

" Yeah decimated showed up at the bottom of the first round you have for Chad Henne and and and and I believe that there they're could be recorded Mexico --"

" The dolphins -- 33 -- thirty say 32 if you pick somebody lost the first round forget who -- I forget why but I'm pretty sure someone for the late first rounder. So at 32. You know the Miami takes and."

" I don't know that any step that dirty joke."

" Adam how are sensitive and accurate is -- BS antenna this time a year with people tell you things on the phone. The -- do you ever get the sense that they want this out there and it's not necessarily the truth."

" Call me naive but I I just again I. Do things that you speculate on. They -- you know. And I think. You know tennis for a while now and I know there's a lot of conjecture a lot of speculation and I -- on an active part of that no one participant. But it seems like you that I know hey. What service station absolute terms when somebody says this. Completely -- decorate you can tell when there's an absolute truthful student being uttered and I believe that. Did this course Titus isowich trying to spin on the phone so many hours at work sorting place -- that. It allows -- to. So just threw some of -- stuff and I think and I might be completely naive and ignorant and arrogant about I I'd stick -- hearing. -- truthful things that I am not."

" Now do you think Jeff Ireland just had a slip of the tongue when it's -- discuss any part of our defense for years to come or was that calculated and pretty crafty."

" I think it was a total slip and I think that we all looked. We didn't sanction and then and encompassing in meeting machine. Didn't symbolic gestures that that don't exist he did you senate -- I mean. You know I support both -- same -- that he truly doesn't say it is going to hear about sometimes -- yeah that's --"

" Yeah yeah yeah they -- my call -- pac man Jones and said I will leave you alone for fifteen grand. The think you pay me to you income scary enough let's listen."

" take -- unless security is pitching -- don't you already noted that is my eyes."

" Think that if I -- TV guy like Q let's I want tracked down that guy -- the scariest guy that what about."

" You I highly doubt money I would be open is susceptible to listen to all offers."

" Lives 2000 miles away and he tells them that -- I'm going to kill you you know -- and Hackman. Pays them who is a bad news race for the guy hey you send them not one but two checks."

" They're so -- guys say something tells me that the we are glad that one."

" Two quick questions as we wrap this up Adam will Hackman play for the cowboys will Chad Johnson play for Cincinnati next year -- questions."

" News -- sister because in the activity being reinstated I think that is him when he plays he did it will be for Dallas. And Chad Johnson I would think will not play for Cincinnati. But they would not trade him I see that being a feud that only continues to grow in size and scope."

" You don't mean he's going to sit out not yet -- money billion."

" You know what I call me tonight and Abraham but feeling that he is so anger -- now and again. Don't say too much cancel long way away."

" He's got bills to pay out of."

" Yes yes he does yes he does and you know what -- a bit -- I was it was a I don't think they're trading at a hotel."

" after NFL network at the Red Bull and if you do you take half a gallon gallon milk carton cut the top off. In the put down underneath your desk."

" I'm going to get. Which set catcher took on -- forget about -- you -- my sort of adrift after an outline my."

" The big gulp cup and -- and Dunkin' Donuts coffee get like. You get these little wraps and I have."

" An appetite commission obviously he's got all -- to get it now a lot of -- it and it will be Watson thanks that's not good luck this weekend so much -- after the NFL network with a doesn't --"
