And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

Welcome to Move the Sticks.

I am Bucky Brooks, and my man, Mike Yam, who is sitting in for DJ, we just hosted how many

hours of coverage, almost five hours of coverage, many hours of coverage, like almost five hours of

coverage, four hours of coverage, and we saw the first round, and we're going to get into

everything that we saw in the first round. We're going to talk about the quarterback Shadur Sanders,

who is on the outside looking in. But let's get into it. It's time for hot or not, brought to you

by Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage.

Yammer, overall thoughts on the first round. I just got to get your take on. Okay, so can we just rewind for a second? First of all, I'm sitting in for DJ. So there's automatically, I'm like, what are we doing right now? What are you talking about? Then I find out I'm working with you. So obviously I'm excited because I get to feel it.

But then to take it another level, I'm used to run and point.

Yeah.

I just get out of the way. We put the headsets on bucks like, yo, I got you. I said, okay, okay. I'll step back here. This is awesome. Look, you and I were doing Machraff Live on NFL Network for a few weeks. So the fact that we get this first round and we get to actually see how it plays out and unfold, there wasn't a huge surprise. I think clearly the trades, I thought it was going to be relatively quiet. I didn't think there's a ton of splashes. And I do think in the scope, when you compare it to previous years, like there weren't really a ton of trades, but we saw aggressive moves, which I like.

The teams that decided to go and move up, like the Jacks, a team that you know really well,

because you're part of that radio broadcast.

They said, look, we're going to take a swing.

We're going to go and get Travis Hunter.

And I know you love him.

But then on top of that, the Giants and the Falcons, ATL was a little bit of a surprise, but I love what they did.

They took two big swings on the defensive side when they've had some issues. I love that. Try to get some dudes that can get after the quarterback. And then the Giants, you know, I love the Giants. Yeah, you rock with the Giants. So let's talk about all the trades, like right off the top. The Jackson and Jaguar is moving from five to two to get Travis Hunter.

The thing about the Travis Hunter pick is, and talking to people in the building, they said, like, look, there were three Jews that were on their board. They were really coveted. It was Travis Hunter. It was Ashton Genty. And then it was Ted McMillan. That was the way that they saw, like, offensively. They wanted to add somebody with some splash, some pizzazz to that offense. For them to make the move to get Travis Hunter. One, it tells me that Liam Cohen and James Glassstone are all in on trying to make this team better in a hurry. Two, they talked about James Glassstone. they talked about having the intangible qualities.
