Let's go to Nate in South Carolina.

0:40.5

What's going on, Nate?

0:42.4

Hey, guys, thanks for having me on.

0:44.0

Appreciate it.

0:44.5

Sure.

0:45.7

Hey, I know this sounds crazy, but number one picks don't come around often.

0:49.6

If the Giants get the number one pick, what do you think about taking Mendoza?

0:52.8

And the reason I'm saying that is Jackson Dart, I don't know who's going to make it through next year. He's already said he's not changing the way he plays. He's concussion prone and we end up with nothing next year. Yeah, I'm not doing it, Nate. I've heard this a lot. I understand maybe yesterday you're thinking he played poorly in the first half. I had to go back into the tent the tent. There is something about this guy I'm not backing off on now. And, you know, I didn't like the pick at the time. It's been well documented here. I'm happy to say that it looks like I'm going to be wrong about that. He's got a swagger to him. He's got all the things that you want a leader of the franchise and a young man to have. I immediately became the leader. And I'm just not doing that. I mean, unless there's some sort of absolutely devastating injury, which I, God, hope there isn't to Jackson Dart. I'm sticking with Jackson, darn. I've got the number one overall pick. I'm trading back, getting a hole, and getting more picks to build this roster. That to me is an easy one. I think the Giants

are in the, if they remain either at one or two, they remain perfectly situated to be able

1:55.6

to rebuild this roster and rebuild it very quickly and spend some money in free agency and get the right guys in here.

2:02.5

And I think with Jackson Dardis, their starting quarterback, you have the most important

2:07.7

ingredient that a team needs at this point in the young man's career. You have money available,

2:13.8

you have high draft picks, you can trade picks for more picks.

2:21.0

I mean, it's everything that you could ask for if you are a giant fan.

2:24.6

That's the way I look at it, and that would be keeping Jackson Dart.

2:29.1

And if we did have the number one, they did have the number one pick, definitely trading it.

2:31.9

And trading it to get more picks and more players.

2:38.6

And you may even be able to get a quality starting player, like a Kenny Clark, like what they got from Michael Parsons down in Dallas.

2:39.4

Yeah.
