Today's a very important day because we are two weeks away from the NFL draft.

0:04.1

And the joke is in politics when someone endorses a presidential candidate, it usually means nothing.

0:09.7

So I will confirm that our endorsements probably won't impact the decisions of the Jets and Giants.

0:16.0

But today's endorsement day, we've had enough time to do research, We've had enough time to do the studying. We've

0:21.6

had enough time to read mock drafts. Two weeks out of the NFL draft, I'm not asking you

0:26.5

what you think the Giants and Jets are going to do. I'm asking you what you think they should do.

0:32.7

Yes. Now, what they will do, what they should do. Today is endorsement day. The Jets are picking at 2 and 16.

0:38.9

The Giants are at 5.

0:40.4

Tiki Barber has been just studying this draft like it's, I, pick the comparison you want.

0:47.2

Pick the religious document you want.

0:48.9

Right.

0:49.5

1:13.8

1:17.0

The linebacker position has lost talent, aged out last year.

1:22.9

They had injury to Michael McFadden last year.

1:27.3

He's back, but he's not the elite player. He's a very

1:31.2

good player. He's not an elite player. The New York Giants need to draft an impact linebacker,

1:37.5

someone who is going to be a captain, someone who's going to be dynamic and around the ball,

1:42.1

no matter where it is in that front five to seven level. So to me, the only draft pick for the New York Giants is Sunny Stiles. The only draft pick? The only one at number five is Sunny Stiles. Do you think democracy ends if they don't draft Sunny Stiles? No, it doesn't. They'll make do. It'll be what it is.
