Connor, thank you very much for carving out a few minutes on this very busy and exciting draft day.

How are we doing today, man?

Good.

Ready.

Long day, man.

I got this giant cup of coffee here in the car.

I'm ready, man.

Nice.

This is the fun part.

Craziness is fun.

Yes.

Let me start with the jet decision because it's simple.

The giant one, there's a lot of complications.

Could go this way. It does seem like we're down to two guys in David Bailey and Arvell Reese. Where do you

stand? Here we are nine hours before the moment of decision on where they're going to go at number two.

All right. So I've said this a couple times times like with people that have asked me this and i've

learned it throughout my career is that going to a team and asking the team no matter how

close you are with them no matter how good of a relationship you have they're either never

going to tell you what they are going to do or they are not going to tell you the truth.

And I don't claim them or fault them for that at all because it's the draft man. They don't want to leak anything. Like I totally understand it. Like I get that. So the benefit of doing this job as long as you do it and the more people you get to know, your spider web grows. So, like, the coaches that you get to know, they leave, they go elsewhere, the scouts, the agents, they enter.

And you just create a little spiderweather people you can to know, your spider web grows. So, like, the coaches that you get to know, they leave, they go elsewhere, the scouts, the agents, they enter, and you just create a little spider web of people you can go to. And while teams hate talking about themselves, they have no problem talking about everybody else. The coaches and the executives and the scouting people and the general managers that I have talked to have continued to tell me that it's going to be Reese. And the reasoning for it, when they get down into the nitty-gritty football sense of it all, is that when they really go into the weeds, is that they already have a player very similar to Reed, or I'm sorry, a player very similar to Bailey and Will McDonald, a pass rushing specialist who can't really play the run. the basis for a lot of people thinking, and they might still end up going Bailey, like, again, these are not Jeff Stores who's telling me this. They might still end up going Bailey, but they already have somebody like that. And if you're going to put forth a defense, can you really draft somebody second overall to pair with the guy who you're about to pick up the 50-year option on and Will McDonald,

when in all likelihood those two players, because of their inefficiencies against the run,
