now Now, back to You Better You Bet, with Nick Costos on Westwood One Sports.

I tell you, man, you love sports. I don't know how you don't love the show.

Joe Fortinball joined us to end last hour live from Las Vegas.

Fieldy H just joined us to start the hour. He's awesome. We continue the parade of amazing guests because joining us right now, one of my absolute favorites, one of your absolute favorites. I think the film work he does and posts on social media is incredible, and I think a lot of people agree because he has a massive following. Our friend, Ben Solac from ESPN, on Twitter at Benjamin Solek. My friend, one week away from the NFL draft, how you doing? I'm good. You're deep in the SPN bullpen today, man. You got to like the youngest arm out of double A's here at the bottom of the roster, excited to be on. Oh, no, you were called up to the majors quite some time ago, and it's great to have you here on the show one week out from the NFL draft. And we were having like a pretty fun conversation about the draft off air. We will attempt to continue the good vibes bringing it on the air here. And I guess I'd love to start with, you're an Eagles fan, correct? And I'm not saying that affects your, the way you cover the league.

But, too, like, I'm a Giants fan. Like, you like the Eagles, right? Curious what you think the Eagles are going to do with their first round pick is it feels like tackle or receiver. And if they take a receiver, does that kind of tip their hand that they're going to trade AGA Brown, which I think they're going to do? What about the Philadelphia Eagles, Ben, as we approach round one of the draft.

I strongly do not think they will draft the receiver. They have done a lot of work for agency in the trade market to make sure that they have enough receivers such that if they trade AJ Brown, they're not like up the creek without a paddle. You know, I'm not sitting here telling you Devonte Smith's wide receiver one, D'altabian Wix's wide receiver 2, and Hollywood Brown's wide receiver 3 is good.

I'm telling you it's good enough that they can do it if they trade AJ Brown. Now, Howie Roseman has always been about building through the trenches, and the Eagles are approaching like the sunset of this offensive line era, right? where the Super Bowl that they made in 22 and then the Super Bowl that they won in 24

were the result of the line, right?

We've done a lot of Gila Hertz Discord this offensive line era, right? Where the Super Bowl that they made in 22 and then the Super Bowl that they won in 24 were

the result of the line, right?

We've done a lot of Jayland Hertz discourse over the last month, a lot of AJ Brown narratives. It was about the line. And Lane Johnson is 34. He was considering retirement. He's coming off another ankle issue. Jordan Milada is approaching 30. You have the left guard, Landon Dickerson,

Center Cam Juergens, both at injury hampered seasons last season.

You do not know if either is going to come back healthy.

Right guard, Lana Dickerson, center, Cam Juergens, both at injury hampered seasons last season. You do not know if either is going to come back healthy. Right guard, Tyler Steen, is on a contract year. The Eagles line, as we know it, is beginning to deteriorate, which means that you've got to reload the coffers. And if there's anything Harry Roseman has done consistently in the draft, obviously outside of the draft, you know, trading, whatever, But there there's anything done consistently in the draft? It is invest heavily in the offensive line and be successful doing so. I believe very strongly as tackle at 23. The only way it's not as if they're positive, they have an AJ deal, which means that now you know you can draft receiver and you're not going to have a loaded room, or if they decide to be a Kenyan-Sadik team,

which I could kind of see, but I think they're still going to lean tackle over tight end. What is your opinion, Ben, of Kenyon-Sadik, the Oregon tight end as an NFL prospect? I love them, and it's bad for me. I know I shouldn't. I know. Like, you know, why shouldn't you? I love, by the way, did you see the movie one battle after another, that one best picture?

I've not seen a movie in. I know I shouldn't. I know. Why shouldn't you? And I love, by the way, did you see the movie one battle after another that won best picture?

I've not seen a movie in 20 years, dude. I can't. Like, people will be watching movies. That's great. That's great. They have so much time. I don't know who's time for all these TV shows? Dude, you know when I watch movies? literally when I'm on the plane like traveling somewhere. I watch them on the way to the Super

Bowl. So Sean Penn has a line in that movie. He when I'm on the plane, like, traveling somewhere. I watch them on the way to the Super Bowl.

So, Sean Pan has a line in that movie.

Like, he said, I love it the way you just said it about Kenyon, Sadiq. But please continue. So the reason why you have to be careful with Sadiq is because if you look at the last 15 years of first round tight ends, there's 13 of them. The lowest receiving yards per game for any one of those first round tight ends was OJ Howard, who did not work out.

He had 32 receiving yards per game for any one of those first round tight ends was
