This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human. And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. What's up, everybody? Welcome to Move the Sticks. DJ Buck. Back with you. Buck. What is going on? Long time. No C, man. What up, DJ? I missed you, man. We haven't had a chance to have some good football conversations.

It's crazy because we have the run-up to the draft,

then we have the immediate reaction after the draft,

and we kind of go on vacation and kind of decompress.

DJ, I'm not going to lie, like last week after doing path to the draft the whole season, last week I didn't get, I didn't accomplish much, DJ, didn't do a lot. Can't say that I really accomplished a lot. I mean, I got up and worked out a little bit, but there wasn't a lot of work that was done. And then I'm starting to get back into it looking ahead the the next year, because everyone was talking about

the quarterback class.

Yeah.

So I was like, is a quarterback class really that?

So then I started digging in.

I was like, yeah.

I can see why there's a little excitement and why people might have punted on some first round

picks this year.

They have multiple next year because there's a very intriguing collection of quarterbacks that can hit the market next year. No doubt. It's that time of year, too, for me, where it's fun to like, okay, let the last draft settle a little bit. And we're going to get to some of the recap stuff because we didn't have a chance to talk a lot about it. So we'll get to that today. We're still going to revisit what we just saw. But like yesterday, I talked to my buddy at Ohio State because I was like, what's next? What's coming? You know, so like he kind of gives me a lay down and don't worry, Buckeye fans. I know you lost a lot of players. You're going to be just fine. So just kind of like making

those phone calls catching up with people. Like what's coming? Like who are some of the guys people were excited about? And then really truthfully, Buck, like, man, where is everybody? Like, where did people transfer? Like who's where? You know, like the, you know, the, you know, the Cal quarterback who's an interesting player. He's in Indiana now. So like trying to just kind of touch base of why, why do these people leave and why are they here and who are they with? And so it's kind of like, it's like opening up a new book is the way I would look at it. Like we kind of finished the last book. It was a great read. But man, this next one could be a thriller. I'm excited about this next class. Yeah, the class is different. And we are seeing some of the

fallout from NIO where people are staying in longer. Look, I think that is a good thing when it

comes to development. They've had so many guys staying. I think the opportunity to play more

ball brings about a polished player. And I'm going to say this. And I use this from my Jaguars

experience in terms of talking to people down there, how they're going about doing business.

DJ, there was that conversation about teams this year in the draft, really putting that

extra box on who really loves ball.

Because now that before, we used to talk about guys didn't get money until they got
