David, a couple of texts will get with the people having a little draft discussion.

0:04.2

Team Rico, team Mike.

0:05.6

Look, I think if a draft sucks and you got certain executives saying there might not be 15 players with a first round grade,

0:13.2

move up, get the guy you want.

0:14.7

And I'm also afraid of the O line.

0:16.5

I just am.

0:17.1

I don't think they've done enough.

0:18.9

Mike, I think the draft sucks because there's no star power at the top, but I think there's a lot of volume. I think there's from the bottom half of the first round to probably the third round, a lot of the players are the same. So if that's the case, go out and get as many of those guys as you can, get a couple of starters in here or get some depth pieces so that we don't have to see the Legion of whom. So that if somebody, if the O line goes down, it's not trying to get Frank Ragnow out of retirement. That you actually have a viable option that you could say, hey, rookie, get in there. Show me what you got. You are aware they're currently starting Larry Borum at right tackle, right? No one has to get hurt for that to happen. Which is why you need to trade down. No. Volume. Get me. Brad. I need a tackle. Brad, get in the kitchen right now. David texts. So this next text is agreeing with Rico, but for the reasons you're saying,

1:13.9

though, Mike, in a little ways.

1:15.5

Team Rico, strictly because I want to stock up on draft picks for next year's draft.

1:20.3

Trade for a future first and a three and a four this year.

1:24.7

So he's saying trading back, but then you're trading back so far that you get your extra first for the next year's draft that's better than this year. So he's saying trading back, but then you're trading back so far that you get your extra first for the next year's draft that's better than this year's draft. Yeah, I don't think you're going to get that first round. I don't think so even. You're not a top 10 pick. You're not getting a next year's first round pick. Regarding JD, someone texts in and says, Jalen Durn is 22. He's younger than he acts.

1:44.4

Yet, you bozos act like he can't develop his game more,

1:47.9

like he has peaked.

1:49.5

I'll agree in today's NBA he needs to develop an outside game.

1:53.3

I guess I stress and look how far he has come

1:56.2

and can only improve his shooting from here.

1:59.0

Okay, I don't want to speak for all the bozos on this show,

2:01.7

but for this one,

2:04.9

I always hear that, well, he could develop.

2:06.7

Go develop.

2:08.3

Go get better.
