| 0:00.0 | All right. I want to get to the people. For me, it's offensive line or nothing. For Rico, it's more varied. There are more needs. But the reporting, and again, it's draft season. There's a lot of BS. You take it all with a grain of salt. The league knows what you need. You've done more work on tackles than anybody else, and you got reporting from McShay and |
| 0:21.5 | Rappaport saying there's a target on your back at 17, the teams at 15 and 16 are listening |
| 0:26.7 | to move down, and teams like Philly, San Francisco, Carolina, et cetera, they're all moving up |
| 0:32.8 | to get a tackle. So does it change your perspective? Because I'll tell you this, I'm either moving up or |
| 0:39.0 | moving down. I'm not going to sit there at 17 and just eat the gruel. Mike, let me add another |
| 0:44.1 | log to the fire of moving down. What's been for the last two season, the one thing that has really |
| 0:49.9 | sunk this team was the lack of depth. Even when you went 15 and 2, we all kind of knew |
| 0:55.7 | it was a little bit of smoking mirrors because you were just patchworking people in on |
| 0:59.9 | the defense. You didn't have enough bodies. It caught up to you. Last year, you didn't have |
| 1:05.5 | enough bodies. It caught up to you. You didn't make the playoffs. I understand for people who wanted to go get that one guy, |
| 1:12.8 | but the guy you were in love with, I promise you, |
| 1:15.6 | Brad Holmes is not. |
| 1:17.5 | He's got somebody else in mind. |
| 1:20.2 | And if he's had a couple people, trade back, |
| 1:23.4 | get more equity, get more picks, get more bodies, |
| 1:26.4 | so that you don't repeat the same |
| 1:28.4 | thing that has happened in the past two seasons where you just run out of people on your 53-man |
| 1:33.3 | roster. |
| 1:35.0 | To the people. |
| 1:36.1 | And we start with a former Parlay legend, a now broken Lions fan. |
| 1:41.3 | He's a man named Mark in Rochester. |
| 1:43.1 | Mark, how are you, sir? |
