B-Pod Studios And now, I'm just trying to spell it off the list. Felger and Mask. S-T-O-O-O-P-I-D. T-E-P-I-D. B-O-B, boom. Isn't that, Bob? Felger and Mask. Q-U-U-I-T-Q-ick. Okay, thank you. No, spell up for me too.

I'm an idiot.

985, the Sports Hub.

All right, hour two with Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal, joining us in the remote

Bedard location.

So this is what he was sort of alluded to it at the end of last hour, some of our

straw man arguments that he was not all that into.

He said, I don't know who's saying the Patriots were smart or brilliant by staying at

15 and taking Jones outside of the normal Bobos.

That's one.

Let me circle back to that.

The second thing was that somehow we believe that not

trading up to draft Jones was wrong. So I never said that. I don't think you ever said that.

I think what we're trying to imply, Greg, is that they didn't exactly target the player,

that the player wasn't the priority. And if they had drafted up to take them, that that would

have indicated that the player was a priority and a target like it feels to me they targeted Barmore more than they did Mac Jones. But I don't blame them if they liked the player and knew he was going to be available, but 15, I don't need them to trade up. So I never said that. I think you're confusing that thing. The first thing about people saying the Pats were brilliant for letting the quarterback thing come to them. That is a narrative out there, Greg. And I don't want to bash my fellow media people, but a lot of people have sort of written that. But Tom Kern has been saying that for days and weeks. Let it come to you. Let it come to you. I love how they let it come to you. Peter King wrote yesterday. He equated the Patriots approach at the draft with Mack Jones to them waiting out Pete Carroll in the Super Bowl. That's just the smart, patient, heady approach. You let everyone else sort of fall apart around you and then you pounce with the brilliant move, just where you're sitting

by being patient and letting it come to you.

And I, that to me, I don't buy that one bit.

And let me just tell you why.

And I'll wrap it up here.

And that is the implication there is that they're just as good with Davis Mills or

Kellen Mond or Kyle Trask as they were with Mack Jones.
