Right now, it is football at four.

0:02.0

Adam Kaplan is pinch hitting today for Jeff Mosher, and we got a little bit of draft conversation. You're not going to want to miss with less than three weeks to go, Adam, until the NFL draft. What's going on, man? Yeah, two weeks from this Thursday. It's hard to believe, yes, we're getting there. We're certainly getting there with 15 days left. So, you know, so the subject of our show that's dropped this morning with Jeff

0:24.2

and I was, let's upgrade, let's update the needs, the top needs for this draft, and

0:29.1

they're, remember, we've said this, this is our ninth year, it's always about the future

0:35.6

for the draft. You're not really looking hard at this year. You're looking at future needs. So, look, some people, because I've looked at the YouTube comments, there are a lot of them that really, most of them there really aren't target. A lot of people want Lane Johnson's replacement to be that guy. I have no problem with that. Well, it's certainly a necessity, right? You don't know how much longer Lane is going to go.

0:54.9

We're going to take a look at some of the needs for this draft for 2026. And, you know, one spot

0:59.9

that they certainly, I don't know that at 23, you're going to get a player that will help you

1:05.5

or upgrade, which you already have at Edge, but that has got to be something on the list, right?

1:10.2

So we have it number one, but look, if you want to put up right tackle to get lane

1:16.0

shots of replacement, no problem if you want to get your corner up there because they don't

1:20.9

have a starter past the season up to Quinn Young Mitchell, safety, we totally get that.

1:25.5

They need a safety to play out to start for the future.

1:30.3

Next to McCuba, I get that.

1:32.0

But the Eagles told you what they thought of that edge position.

1:37.4

They were willing to pay Jailin Phillips handsomely.

1:39.7

So they already gave the answers to the test.

1:41.4

You don't need to guess.

1:42.2

They told you they wanted them back. They're paying big time. So they told you it was a major need to the test. You don't need to guess. They told you. They wanted them back.

1:44.4

They're paying big time.

1:45.8

So they told you it was a major need for the future. Well, unfortunately, sign with Carolina. So it's Donald Smith. It's Jaylickson. It should try on Sriinkin and Evacetti. After this season, Mike, technically, only one of those guys is on a contract. so they're telling you, Mike, that it's a major need for the future.

2:03.7

Eddrusher, we all agree on that one. And you're right. Last year, they went and got Phillip. So it tells you they think they need a better player than what they have currently. They're upgraded edge. No doubt about it. You mentioned right tackle. That would be, you know, Lane Johnson, we don't know how many more years.

2:21.4

But you wouldn't be surprised probably if they took any spot in the offensive line,
