Hello everyone and happy the draft week from Matt Williamson. How you doing? I have an incredibly busy week, but I am recording this Sunday, which is not an incredibly busy day for me. I'm mowing along and doing things like that, so I don't

0:22.0

have to do it during draft week. So I wanted to talk to you guys about two things, two topics.

0:27.4

One is, the news in the NFL right now, Dexter Lawrence goes to the Cincinnati Bengals for

0:33.5

pick number 10. That's a wild move for me.

0:38.7

I think he's a phenomenal player in his prime.

0:42.4

Last year wasn't as good as two years ago,

0:44.9

but I'm not going to get into all the details about what they're getting in Dexter

0:48.5

Lawrence,

0:48.9

but I think he's the best nose tackle in the league.

0:52.5

And he has,

0:56.5

I've actually told, we've had some conversations about him because whenever, you know, people were asking me, should the Steelers trade for him.

1:01.0

I mean, the numbers, especially against the pass, are remarkable when he's on the field

1:06.5

as opposed to not. This is the perfect person for the Bengals to trade for, which blows me away

1:13.8

at they actually did it. I mean, I wonder, is this organization looking at things a little differently,

1:20.2

being more aggressive, pushing their chips in, maybe following Joe Burroughs lead that, hey, we need to be aggressive to keep up.

1:30.0

And here's a couple notes. First off, I think Cincinnati looked at pick 10 and thought,

1:35.9

man, there's like six or seven blue chip dudes in this class. I don't think we're going to get one

1:40.8

at 10. You know, downs probably won't last. We could be in no man's land. Maybe you'd get one of the corners, but Dexter Lawrence is going to help us way more, way more. I didn't know the Giants would get quite this return, but I understand it. We also know the Bengals don't like to trade around. They don't trade at all.

2:04.4

I mean, that's kind of my point here. They also don't trade around on draft day. So, I mean, they weren't going to be the team to go from 10 to 7. They just never do. Um, which is a narrow

2:10.6

minded way of looking at things. And I don't have great respect for this organization. However,

2:15.8

strangely enough, on Friday, I just pulled up on one of the betting

2:22.6

apps, MVP odds, and I put a couple bucks on Joe Burrow and thought, I might pick the Bengals
