| 0:48.5 | We go around the league. |
| 0:50.0 | It's time to go around the league. |
| 0:54.3 | Yeah, and we just spent a lot of time on the Giants and Jets, so we don't have to hang around too much there. But I do want to point out, we got Mel coming on later. Friend of Arjay. That's right. Big friend of R.J. texting him off the clock all the time, free drink at the bar situation. Love it. So the letter grades for the Giants and Jets from Mel got an A-minus for the Jets and A-B-plus for the Giants. All right. Very good. Any analysis of those letter grades, how he got there? I could pull them up if you like. I would love that. Why B-plus? Why A-min minus? Why not an A? Why not an A minus? |
| 1:28.2 | So the Jets, he gives them positive fulfilling the needs at quarterback wide receiver |
| 1:35.8 | and edge rusher. |
| 1:39.1 | He gives them. |
| 1:40.6 | Made the case that they should have... |
| 1:44.4 | They should have taken Arval Rees because of the high upside, but he likes what Bailey brings to the table. |
| 1:50.3 | So he's happy with that. |
| 1:52.3 | He loves the Omar Cooper pick. |
| 1:54.4 | I know how you couldn't. |
| 1:55.1 | He's a big DeAngeli Pons guy, too. |
| 1:56.6 | Yeah, he's also a big DeAngeli Pons. |
| 1:58.6 | Speaking of, did you see the War Room reaction when they pulled up the Aaron Glenn comp for DeAngelo Ponce? And how happy that made them? It was great. That was pretty cool. I like seeing that. And listen, I loved Aaron Glenn as a corner. Like, just. Aaron Glenn was a terrific player. He was a pro bowler. Played bigger than his size, and DeAngelo Pons does the same thing. It's the coaching that seems to be getting him here. DeAngelo Pons knocked out Ty Simpson and the Rose Bowl. Cracked his rib. That is correct. Yeah, the best point I heard on him is he is short, but he is not small. He tackles. He is a tackler. a tackler RJ do you look at yourself in the pond's shadow a little bit Why do you got to go there Pons in a tank He's gonna drive his tank right over your feet Listen if I were to be I think I yeah I would be in his shadow If I were to follow in his footsteps Those are good footsteps I love way he plays. And then for the Giants, he had mocked, he thought that they had a shot of Jeremiah Love and Jordan Tyson. He actually wanted him to go offense with both picks initially, but he loves Reese, obviously, as we pointed out. Even if the Giants have, you know, all these edge rushers, he thinks Reese was the best defensive player in the draft. He thinks he'll developed an extraordinary player. Loves Maui Noah, protecting Jackson Dart, opened up in rushing lanes. That's going to be key. The only issue he has is, of course, the Caleb Downs factor. So that that'll be a thing. But he loves the Colton Hood pick. That's an excellent pick for the Giants in the second round. Malachi Fields is a good receiver. |
| 3:25.4 | It could slide right into number two. |
| 3:29.3 | So you're in pretty good shape on both counts. |
