Thanks for choosing Felger and Maz to entertain my nickname is Kloon and inform you in the afternoon.

The people who like licorice really like licorice.

985, the Sports Hub.

They drafted a running back in the first round, which only stupid teams do.

I'm sorry.

That's how I feel, and you're not stupid.

But it made me wonder if it was so bad that Josh Fitz-Daniels does have a say, because Josh likes to draft running backs. He's the reason you drafted Maroney. He drafted No Sean Moreno in Denver, and is he the next guy? And is he of influence it? Is he actually think you need to draft a running back in the first round to get talent? I think it was a putrid pick. The guard tackle? Fine. You know, like I have no, some guard tackles come in day one and are great and

really help you win and if the guy can play there's value there at 23 fine no problem running back

give me a break when you can find those guys on the street in the middle of the draft on your

practice squad which this team has done routinely over the years so i just hated that running

back well i have a problem with the other one, too.

If it's a guard. If he's a guard, I have a problem with it. Why was that a need? I thought Tooney was good and you got Mason. Why is that a need all of a sudden? I don't get it. And this idea now, like, see, I just get agitated with the flipping and the flopping on the draft. So like people tell me the Patriots don't draft for need.

But then they say, well, now they're going to draft defense. So they need defense. Right? They need, so today they will draft for need. Yesterday they wouldn't. I just, I'm sorry. I get here. I've been a pissy mood today. I can tell. Love it. Yeah. I'm in a pissy mood today, and this irritates the crap out of me.

Because the fact is that no matter what they did, no matter what the Patriots did, the toadies were going to sit there and say that they were good picks. Okay, that's all. I didn't think they needed a running back. I don't think they need a guard. so I'm supposed to now be happy just because what?

They added two players?

And I have to trust that he will play tackle, even though he's undersized. And I love the running back pick. I love the picks more than anything else because they weren't a quarterback at either of them. It wasn't Lamar Jackson, who many people like Jimmy Stewart were clamoring for. I don't want quarterbacks the rest of this draft, unless it's the fourth round and and beyond because it's about now. And those picks last night that they made proved they are about the now and surrounding Tom Brady with talent. And I love the Sony Michelle pick even more because it's a running back and you anti-backist like you, Felger, have to sit there until you're blue in the face. Why you're doing this is the first round. There's just too many facts on our side. Yeah, I'm going to waste a first round pick on a player that might make it three years because that's the average life of a running back in the national football good what do I care about the Patriots in five years from now oh the future oh how's your 401k I don't care about anything I care about Tom Brady and the now Tom Brady and the now that's what I care about the now, what you have left with Tom Brady. That's the only thing I'd give a rat's ass about with this team right now.

Murray, I thought the core Patriot philosophy was long-term building. We want multiple years in the AFC championship game in the Super Bowl. Not one year. Go for it. Yeah, well, that went out the window when they made the Garoppolo trade last year, even though I don't believe in him.

Obviously, the coach did, so when they made that decision, it's about now.

It's about the remaining time with Brady. So good. Well, then that violates everything that they stand for as an organization philosophy. No, I would also like to know when a running back became important to their offense. When did that become an important thing? Yesterday.

They're following the trends of the league, and these guys getting drafted high. They're important in the league now. And not winning. And not winning. Yes, teams are starting to draft these guys again in the first round, and you wonder why? Why? What does it matter if you don't have a quarterback? You don't have a defense. I gave it to you, Murray. I keep giving it to you. I know, Mike, I know.

What if these guys won?

And if you think... It's changed the Dallas Cowboys.
