This is the athletic football show.

Welcome, the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Join me today.

It's my good friend Nate Tyson.

How you doing, buddy?

I'm doing very well. This is the first time ever that I thought I was going to need to wear makeup before a podcast because my son gave me a shiner. You can't really say it's not too prominent. It looks like just an exaggerated ring under my eyes. I generally have rings under my eyes. But, man, took a water, took a bottle straight to the eye as we were watching Bluey, which, by the way, when you do have kids. Oh, Blue is great. I've watched Bluey. You watch Bluey are? Yeah. Last year, Fourth of July, I was at a cabin with like seven small children and Bluey was just out in the entire afternoon. So I got a lot of blueie exposure. It's good. It's good. It's a very good show. Now we're looking for the long dogs because now we've been watching these episodes about 40 times a day. So yeah, that's it. But I'm doing very well. Ready to jump into this. We're doing what we've done for the last couple Mondays here, last couple Tuesday shows, going through all kind of the team needs and mock draft scenarios for every single

pick in the first round.

Today is 11 through 6.

A little bit of different how we're going to handle this one because we're going to skip

11.

There's no need to have the same conversation we had about the Minnesota Vikings that

we had when we discussed them with the 23rd picks.

So if you want to go hear about the Vikings team needs, what they might do with the trade up, all of those possible scenarios, you can go listen to the show we did two weeks ago because it would be the exact same discussion.

They still have the same picks and nothing has really changed for this to actually work and for their plan to come together, they probably need to trade up and draft a quarterback. And that's the discussion we had two weeks ago. And if you're a Vikings fan going, but what quarterback should we talk about? What do they think about the quarterbacks? We have a quarterback show with Dane Bruebler. So there you go. So if you're a Vikings fan, want to hear what we think about it, want to hear about the quarterbacks as well. We got a couple episodes for you to listen to as well. I will admit that I've already talked about the Vikings way too much and what they might do. So there's no need to spend more time on it, even if we do find it interesting. So let's skip down to the 10th overall pick. that belongs to the New York Jets. As you were kind of stacking up the needs for the Jets as we get closer to this draft, where did you start? It's got to be a line, right? That's why I keep coming back to it. It's got to be, but then it's the Jets. And then I understand the past catcher thing, but the argument's the same with past catchers are aligned. It's where they found some stopgaps, but they also are kind of win now, but do you bridge their hurt guys for the one year to the future if none of this regime's going to be there? It's, yeah, it's a kind of naughty little thing going going on right now but it's the same argument i guess

besides i said they should go a line by i guess it depends who's making the call is it joe douglas

is it erin rogers as far as the timelines is it the bald bearded angel on one shoulder i think

they're on more similar timelines than it might seem though because if this doesn't go well

they're gone anyway so i think the win now urgency is true for the quarterback. It's true for the head coach. It's true for the general manager. And I do think that should be taken into account. I also wrote that down. If they sign a guy and maybe he's going to be a starter next year and he's more of an insurance policy right now, that's probably the smart way to do it. But that's not the mindset that they've taken into this for offseason. So I think there's a lot of layers to get through. Zach Rosenblatt, who covers the Jets for us, they did a, the athletic team needs for all 32 teams that we released. I think it was late last week. And a lot of the teams had positions, right? Zach just said insurance policies.

And I thought that was the correct way to handle it because they, like you said,

they need very similar stuff along the offensive line and at the past catching spots.

So let's go through this and let's start with the offensive line.
