This isn't your average podcast.

This pot is about to be crazy. I don't even know what's going to happen. This is full send. It's just like a boy's scrap. Join the party. We threw like a spontaneous party. Out of nowhere was crazy. And we pulled off a crazy prank. Pranks, parties and viral culture at its wildest. Just seeing like the guys that you brought in and like seeing their different personalities and stuff. It's been entertaining, dude.

0:21.9

This could be the greatest content build of all time, bro. The full send podcast. Dude, let's get ready to rumble. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Let's do it. And we're going to spend this hour with our buddy, Joseph Hoy. He covers the Cowboys for the Dallas Morning News. he's usually on with us every single Friday at 1015, but it is draft season. And I don't know if I know of a bigger draft nerd than Joseph Hoard. And I mean that in the nicest of ways, Joe. I really truly do. And he's in studio with us also. So welcome, Joe. How are you doing, man? I'm doing good, man, and I don't take any

0:54.2

offense to that. I think nerdum is like just being fascinated and obsessive, and I'll be honest with you. I've been that way for a long time with the draft, so I'm ready to roll. Yeah, now, what kind of drew you to the draft as far as wanting to get all the complexities and everything about it. Yeah, no, I remember when I was younger, it was 2005,

1:11.9

and, you know, I just, I was so obsessed with the Alex Smith, Aaron Rogers kind of conversation.

1:18.1

And at the time I was, hopefully this doesn't, I was 12. And I was just like so intrigued by

1:23.0

by everything. And then when they took Alex Smith, I was shocked. And then watching the fall with Aaron Rogers, seeing Fabian Washington get selected by the Raiders before Aaron Rogers, I was like, this is the ultimate drama. Like, this is reality TV unfolding. And since then, we've seen so many crazy instances, man. I mean, things just happen that you'd never expect. And I think that's the fun of it. Like right now, we all know exactly what the Cowboys are going to do, right? We all think we do.

1:48.1

Yeah. things just happen that you'd never expect. And I think that's the fun of it. Like right now, we all know exactly what the Cowboys are going to do, right?

1:47.0

We all think we do. Yeah, we'll see what happens. We want to pretend, right. Yeah, and that's where I think this draft, we were talking about this earlier. Everybody knows, barring shock, Mendoza's going to go number one. then it really kind of feels like it's Reese or Bailey,

2:00.5

the two edges that are going to go number two.

2:03.4

Then after that, depending on, to go number one. Then it really kind of feels like it's Reese or Bailey, the two edges that are

2:01.5

going to go number two. Then after that, depending, I mean, Arizona could go offensive

2:06.1

linemen, Arizona could trade, Arizona could go with the leftover Bailey Reese. Nobody seems to

2:12.3

really have a good vibe. And man, this is, of the drafts that I can remember, it feels about as wide open as the top from three to 12 go that we've seen in a really long time.

2:24.2

Oh, 100%. I think it's dripping with chaos potential.

2:26.7

Like, I think that there's so many, not only even in the top 12.

2:29.6

Yeah, yeah.

2:30.4

I think if you look at 20 with the Cowboys, like I was talking about this with someone else earlier today, you could probably name 25 guys that would make sense at 20. Truly. Like, and that's where I think if you're talking about the idea of potentially trading back for the Cowboys at 20, I think that that's why it makes so much sense because the guy you might take at 20 might be there at 39 if you traded back with Cleveland and did a pick swap to go from 12 to 6 as well. And I think that the fact that there's no other quarterbacks that are going to be in this top 11, the fact that now there's so many teams that want to trade back, there's maybe teams I want to trade up for receivers. That's kind of been the one of the rumor mill kind of things going around is that multiple receivers might go in the top 11. I think that there's going to be so much chaos where I keep coming back to this idea. If you're the Dallas Cowboys, you put things in your own hands and you move up and go get someone that you can count on. And it feels like that's the consensus. And this is Joseph Hoyt. Covers the Cowboys for the Dallas Morning News in studio with us, talking draft and Cowboys. Because I feel like they've wanted to make a sexy pick.

3:26.5

Not a sexy pick, but a sexy move here.

3:29.4

In free agency, trade market and all that.

3:32.0

They tried with Max Crosby, and it fell short because that was a line they didn't want to cross.

3:36.5

And the Kobe Dean, I don't know how sexy you think that is.
