| 0:28.1 | Welcome to Good Morning Football. |
| 0:29.7 | We are live in New York City. |
| 0:31.2 | It's Tuesday, April 5th. |
| 0:34.4 | My name is Jane Slater, alongside Kyle Brandt, Peter Shreger. |
| 0:38.3 | And we've got him back to time Pro Bowl wide receiver and Super Bowl champion. |
| 0:53.0 | Amen. Let's go! Let's go. You made it back. How was the alarm going off the second day? The first day, you've kind of got the adrenaline, and you're excited. The second day, it kind of catches up with your game. Yeah, it's smooth. It's smooth. I'm energetic. I'm ready to roll. You ready to roll? |
| 1:14.1 | The plan today for the show is we are going to watch what happens live right here at the table. That's the plan, Slater. Take us away. Come on now. I'm obsessed. I did get to go to a taping with Andy Cohen. I did the whole New York City thing last night. And John Mayer was the surprise bartending guest. So I went full fan girl mode. Good news. Security didn't come in and remove me. |
| 1:12.0 | And I'm here this morning. Excited to do. Thank goodness. Let's go. Time for the lead block. Time for the lead block. All right. We got a huge trade yesterday between the Eagles and Saints with big implications for the first round of the draft. Peter, break it down for us because I was texting people going, what's the upside here? What's going on? Leave that screen up for a second because that's hard to digest. Like, what is all that? And you said huge trade. In a year where we've seen Russell Wilson and Devante out of trade, there's ain't a huge trade, but it is a trade nonetheless, okay? It is a trade. Trade. From From the Eagle standpoint, let me explain their thinking here. This is a huge, huge push and vote of confidence for Jalen Hertz. They had three first-round picks. They weren't really active in the quarterback market the last few weeks. And a lot of people thought all along when they had these three picks, they're going to package that and get a big quarterback. They're going to be the |
| 2:02.9 | Russell Wilson ones. They're going to be the Sean Watson. They kind of sat back and waited, waited, waited, waited. And this one, they get a first round pick for next year, meaning they likely did not see a quarterback in this draft class that they thought was worthy of using those picks to trade up for. And I don't think they're looking and saying, okay, |
| 2:18.5 | with these two first round picks and the teens, we're going to get the first quarterback off the board. So if anything, this is the Jalen Hertz vote of confidence. I would also add that this pick that they traded was from the Carson Wentz deal that they did last year with the Colts. So they're almost kicking the can and trading that for it. They now have two first-round picks next year, which, by the way, has at least a couple quarterback prospects. One of them, Bryce Young, the other one in the Ohio State quarterback to everyone says, would most likely be a first-round pick this year. Jalen Hertz, I think it's another year at quarterback for the Eagles. Howie Roesman still has 10 picks in this year's draft. |
| 2:51.8 | And for the same side of things, there might be a player they like in that range. |
| 2:55.2 | We don't know, I don't know, they're reasoning there. But I do know that Philadelphia, this was essentially a, hey, Jalen Hertz, you're our QB1 for the 2020 season. Okay. Now look, I cover the Cowboys |
| 3:04.7 | 98% of the time here |
| 3:06.8 | which, Kyle, I know you've got opinions. |
| 3:08.5 | The best. |
| 3:09.7 | But even though the Eagles in the division, the Saints is the other team I cover. So that was one of my alarms went off. Well, what's going on here? Because even though they got Andy Dalton in the all season, of course, they've got James Winston, I got to think they're still not done at quarterback. In other words, you've got to start thinking about the future and drafting guys behind him. |
| 3:27.0 | So could it be a guy like... I got to think they're still not done at quarterback. In other words, you've got to start thinking about the future and drafting guys behind him. |
