All right, let's get to the people.

Your day one review at Alliance, but also what do you want them to do tonight? I mean, you get one bullet to fire. You want a delinement? Are you going to go down with the ship demanding a pass rush? Whatever you got, I want to hear what you want because they got one last bullet. They just don't have a lot of capital. I mean, obviously, if somebody wanted to move up to your pick, would you move down? Depends what I'm getting. I mean, I'm not moving down for a fifth. I'm not moving down for a low fourth. Like, it would have to be something that gets me into the third round. Yeah, I was about to say maybe a pick swap in a third. Right. It would have to be something like that. For me, go to Eric, 971. Eric, how you doing, buddy? How are doing great? So, for me, a game one was good because there was enough tackles on the board that I think Brad got his pick of the litter. And we're talking like eight tackles. We're great at first round. I don't care who the guy is. I trust Brad on that. That he had his guy. As far as the second round, I agree with you. Like, corner, like, I would sit there if McCoy's available. I'd take him at that pick. If not, I would try and trade back, get back into the third. And a guy, I'm not trying to be a Michigan

1:14.7

sloppy, but Barnum looked really good for parts of this season

1:18.6

of the edge for Michigan. I would be comfortable taking him. I don't think you're being

1:22.6

a sloppy at all, Eric. Both Derek Moore and Barham are

1:26.4

day two or certainly day three picks.

1:28.8

There's no slappiness there. They're good football players. A little uneven performance, but

1:33.7

it's not crazy. If we've got to give up a fourth to get back into third with a pick swap,

1:38.1

I'm okay with that. I'm okay with taking something later in the second, trading back and getting

1:42.5

into the third because that's what we need starters. We have holes, and we have capital, but it's just a little bit later in the draft. Let me give you, for you, do you want the McCoy thing? No, go ahead. I want to give this to you. Here's what the issue is, right? You had asked, will he play day one? Sort of. So he ran a really good time

2:02.6

at Pro Day. But remember, he blew out in 24. He was supposed to be able to come back for 25. He

2:09.6

didn't play it down. Now, he runs at Pro Day, but here's why there's teams concerned. You make

2:15.2

of this what you will. Teams are concerned that the bone plug

2:18.9

used to address a cartilage issue in McCoy's knee might need to be replaced, which would

2:25.8

necessitate another knee surgery. So Tom Pelliserro reports that while McCoy's camp insists the knee

2:32.7

is good to go, the ACL is not actually the

2:35.9

concern.

2:36.5

It's that another knee injury, another knee surgery could be needed and in sooner rather

2:43.1

than later term.

2:44.6

So what are you getting yourself into?

2:46.6

You do with that what you want.

2:48.0

Well, I'm going to say no, and it's not his fault.
