That's right it is Go Birds Radio presented by Parks Casino in sports book The All New

0:25.6

Bette Parks Casino in sports book app has you covered and we are coming you live from the beautiful sports book at Parks Casino. It's going to be a wild night here at the sports book Elliott Sherp Parks. A lot of action tonight to get into here at the beautiful parts of the sports book today begins the day the sixers run to the finals.

0:42.8

Oh, buddy yesterday was the end of the Philly season. I don't even know if the flowers are still playing. So that's the current state of affairs for the other three teams currently.

0:53.1

Yeah, look, we'll get into the sixers. Obviously sixers play off start tonight. If you want to call in about that, we're having to take your calls and we'll get into it. But also it is Go Birds Radio. Yes, people might not know that about the show.

1:03.2

The big thing coming up. You know, you might heard the open go birds. That's our thing. And look, we are less than two weeks away. It's an approach. It's like snuck up on us. Yeah, Joe, Jillio was text me earlier in the week and he's like, oh, you know, the drafts like two weeks from today. And I'm like, that can't possibly be right. Now, look, and it is two weeks. Think about this.

1:20.2

Two weeks from today, we'll know what the Eagles did in the first second and third round. Like the ball of the draft. Unbelievable.

1:26.1

The draft will be over. Yeah, like four picks, four picks with me for huge picks, too. Massive. Like there will be four players who theoretically will be part of the core of the Eagles for the next five years.

1:37.2

Right. Yeah. And we have no idea they are. And they're going to be guys we root for it. I always think that's such a fun part of the draft is the idea. You know, especially as people who are so obsessed with this team and follow it so closely.

1:49.0

And obviously for our jobs, but but it's Eagles fans. You know, we're so obsessive about our team. We all know it's the most important team in the city. It's the thing that we care about the most.

1:58.0

It's always such an interesting thing to me that you know, you go into this draft and after you have these guys who are like, your guys now, there are guys. You know, we joked about this after they traded the last quarterback. Carson Wentz. But how often we talked and thought about cars.

2:13.3

Yes. Yes. How many times do we say his name would like thousands, thousands would a big part of our life he became. That's what's going to happen next week with these guys that they draft at 15 to 18. We'll be spending five, six years talking about these guys, whether they pay.

2:25.8

Or potentially. Yeah, you know, and I think on that note, when you go into this draft and you think about the pressure that's on how we like. I hesitate. Say it's the biggest draft of his career. People get sensitive.

2:37.5

Say it was type of thing, but it's a massive draft. I mean, it really is. I know he traded away one of his picks. But when you look at what they did last year, I think last year's season kind of saved them from the best.

2:49.0

Like once when they went four and 12, they fired Doug, we don't know from Carson. Things could have really like sloped down. They could have become the Jaguar.

2:56.0

It could have gotten really bad, right? Even when they were one in four, whatever they fell out to this past. Two and five at a certain point. They saved the ship last year.

3:03.2

Right? Like they kept it afloat. This draft is about saving it again. Right? Like this draft is about making sure what happened last year. Doesn't just completely fall by the wayside.

3:13.1

And with two weeks ago, I'm here to tell you the only way to do that is to focus on offense. And we spent time on this pod on the radio show saying they need to get this receiver. They need like, yes, when I look at what how the draft is shaping up number one.

3:30.6

And of course, I think we'll both start this by saying they need to take the best best players. Like you need guys who are at to our point we just made you need guys are going to be a part of this core for a while.

3:40.3

Let's get that boring caveat out the way. We all agree they should draft the best player. We all agree with that. But in a world where things fall kind of how they look like they're going to at 15 and 18.

3:52.2

There is a really good chance the best player on the board at both of those picks are receivers. And I am OK. I don't care that they use two picks on two first round picks on receivers.

4:01.6

These last two years. I'd be perfectly OK if they did like 15 James and Williams 18 George.

4:07.0

Oh, buddy 15.
