| 0:00.0 | All right, amidst our derby weekend fun and playoff hoops, there's still time for, you know, seven minutes of football. |
| 0:05.9 | We'll do that right now. David, go ahead. |
| 0:08.7 | Gentlemen, let's play a little game. |
| 0:11.4 | It's now time for the teams to realize what are you going to do with that fifth year option? |
| 0:16.1 | Do you keep your player, or you're going to trade your player, or are you just going to let that player go? |
| 0:20.6 | So we'll just say, we'll play this game, fifth year option and keep or fifth year option and trade. |
| 0:28.2 | We're going to go through a list of the players from that draft. |
| 0:31.1 | We'll start off with Philly, just exercise Nolan Smith, Jr. |
| 0:36.5 | Is this somebody that's going to be part of the long-term plan for Philly, |
| 0:40.2 | or should they pay him the fifth year and then try to let him go? |
| 0:43.5 | Pay him the fifth year. |
| 0:44.9 | I just don't think they're in a position not to. |
| 0:47.0 | I mean, if he's healthy and he's right, he can be a really impactful player. |
| 0:51.3 | They just traded for Grenard. |
| 0:53.5 | I'm giving him the fifth year. At this point, because you always need edges, go ahead and just, yeah, pay the fifth year, keep him and see what happens. Worst case, you keep him. He has a good year. You don't want to commit to him. You still get the comp pick. Correct. That's what all these teams do, man. That is very smart at that too. They play that game. Let's go with Dalton Kincaid tight-in Buffalo Bills. Oh, absolutely. Now, again, health availability, it has been a factor. But when Kincaid is right, that offense is different. He's outstanding. Yeah, no, I'm picking it up for sure. Yeah, for a team that really hasn't invested in their wide receivers, then that means you have to do the fifth year for Dalton Kincaid. You just have to. Mike, I'm going to lean on you for this, Deontay Banks Giants. Nope. Guy should be bagging groceries. |
| 1:44.9 | The POS. |
| 1:48.9 | Absolutely, bar none, one of the worst first round picks of New York Giants in modern history. |
| 1:50.7 | An absolute waste of skin. |
| 1:52.9 | Horrible in every way. |
| 1:54.8 | The team would be better playing 10 on 11 |
| 1:56.9 | than having him on the field. |
| 1:59.3 | Horrific. |
