0:00.0	I will say that I hope that tonight is the last time we are sitting around at an NFL draft talking about how the Jets and the Giants are picking in the top 10. I'm getting sick of it. It feels like it happens every year because we all suck. No, every year? Yes. I mean, they're in there a lot, but Evan, you shouldn't be rooting for that at all.
0:21.6	Oh, you're talking about next year?
0:22.6	Yeah, but they have three first round picks, so it doesn't matter. You could make the playoffs, you could still get your quarterback. That's my point. You work for the Colts to stink. I get your point and you're right. right, I think just in theory,
0:34.9	picking at the top of a draft usually
0:36.7	means you stink. Yeah. Unless it been every
0:38.7	year that one of us has been in the last. I mean, the Jets have certainly been there forever. The Giants have kind of as too as well. Yes. All right. I'll give you the numbers right now. So last year, the Giants picked three. We picked seven. Then you went up to 25. The year before you picked six, we were at 11. The year before that, congratulations. Thank you. The year before that was when we picked at 15, and I think that was the year we moved back because we got Aaron Rogers, right? And you guys picked the 24. Deonté Banks. The year before that was when the Jets picked 4-10, and you went 5-7. Right. The year before that was when the Jets picked 4-10 and you went 5-7.
1:12.7	Right.
1:13.4	The year before that, the Jets had Zach Wilson at number 2 and AVT at 14.
1:17.7	You picked Cadarius, Tony, at 20.
1:19.7	The year before that, the Giants were at 4 and the Jets were at 11.
1:23.7	The year before that, 2019, the Jets are at 3 and the Giants are at 6, 17, and 30. The year before that, 2019, the Jets are at 3, and the Giants are at 6, 17, and 30.
1:31.1	The year before that was the famous Giants at 2 with Sequin, Jets at 3 with Sam.
1:37.3	Dude, this is a decade running.
1:38.9	So there's basically just one year.
1:40.5	There was one year in there where we both were out of the top 10.
1:45.3	Yeah, the only year was 2023 and that was the Will McDonald-Diante Bankstraft. Wow. That's the only one. Oddly enough,
1:52.9	maybe the worst giant draft of all of them. Yeah. And if you go back further, then you got to go
1:57.4	back. You're ready to 2014 when the Jets picked Calvin Pryor at 18 and the Giants took Odella 12
2:04.4	because every other year, one of us was in the top 10.
2:08.1	So since 2014, like save one year.
2:11.0	Yes.
2:11.4	The Giants or the Jets are picked in the top 10.
