| 0:00.0 | This is the athletic football show. |
| 0:15.4 | Welcome to the athletic football show. |
| 0:17.6 | I'm Robert Mays and joining me for a very special reaction episode today. |
| 0:21.7 | It's my good buddy, Mike Sando. Mike, how are you? I'm doing well, Robert. We actually scheduled this |
| 0:28.0 | right after the trade of the four diners made. And then there was another big trade between the, |
| 0:35.4 | what, 20 minute period? I mean, I don't even know if it was 20 minutes. |
| 0:38.7 | This is fantastic. |
| 0:39.8 | This is the exact type of reason that I love this job. |
| 0:42.3 | Reacting to this sort of stuff is the most fun we ever have in this business. |
| 0:46.6 | And who knows what's going to happen in the 20 minutes that we're recording this podcast. |
| 0:49.9 | So it is currently 1251 central standard time on Friday. |
| 0:55.3 | The dolphins traded with the Niners with the third and 12 picks. |
| 0:59.4 | If we get any of these details wrong, I apologize. |
| 1:01.4 | There's a lot of numbers and picks flying around here. |
| 1:04.7 | But what we know as of right now, the Miami Dolphins have moved back from 3 to 12, |
| 1:10.4 | and the Niners have moved up from 12 to 3. |
| 1:13.3 | And to do that, the Niners gave up two future first round picks in 2022 and 22 and 23, and a third round pick to make that move. |
| 1:21.4 | The Dolphins then moved from 12 up to 6 and traded away one of those future first round picks to the Eagles who moved back from |
| 1:30.1 | six to 12. So that is what we currently know. I hope all of those details are right. Where do you want to |
| 1:38.2 | start with this, Mike Sando? Let's start with the first one, which was San Francisco moving up, obviously |
| 1:44.0 | with a deal with mind of it. But for San Francisco, this whole offseason has been, look, they've moved on mentally from Jimmy Garoppolo, and then you get the pushback. Look, Garapolos, they'd be fine with Garoppel. And I've always sort of said. They keep trying to sell that, by the way. They're still trying to sell that right now. |
| 1:58.6 | And I think they would be if nothing else they could do worked out. They might go with him. But now all sorts of things coming to play. Gropolo could be in New England, right, or somewhere else. But the 49ers' intentions now, let's start with that. The 49ers have the third pick in the draft for right now. What are their options? And I see a few. I mean, I see Deshaun Watson, too, in play for this. So I think there's a lot of things that could happen. Let's start there. The Niners always made sense to me as a team that could make this sort of move. If you were looking at the chess board and the way it was aligned, first of all, I always thought Miami was a candidate to trade out there. |
