WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:16.199 The Dallas Cowboys have traded the twenty fourth pick to the Detroit Lions. With 2 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.440 the twenty fourth pick in the twenty twenty four NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions 3 00:00:20.480 --> 00:01:15.439 select Terry and Arnold's defensive Bagum, yeah, I can hear you. I'm 4 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.799 not hearing anything. I just hear you all right. Now. I got 5 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.079 myself, but I can't hear the music. Now I got it, Now, 6 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:30.599 I got it. It's the morning after the first round. It's not 7 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.760 the morning after the draft. It's the morning after the first round. We 8 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:42.799 are here at Assend in Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort. This is x'es and 9 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.359 Bros. I'm Matt Shepherd. Glad you're with us. Here's the phone number 10 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:52.799 eight six six eight three eight forty eight forty three. You can text us 11 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.560 Sports Radio to twenty one thousand and you can get things rolling and start the 12 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.439 conversation if you so choose. My thanks to Tennis Fifthy and my friend who 13 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.319 filled in the last couple of days. We made our way up here for 14 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.919 a draft party here at a send at Soaring Eagle, and there were a 15 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.919 lot of people here. It was great. Not as many obviously, not 16 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:24.000 as many people as there were downtown two hundred and seventy five thousand. That 17 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:35.439 is a draft one round record. Every time you saw some type of overhead 18 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.319 shot, a drone shot, if you will, you're blown away by the 19 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.280 amount of people who were down there. If you were down there, you're 20 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.639 probably not up yet. But if you were down there and you can describe 21 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.960 the vibe and give us an idea of what it was like, I'd love 22 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.639 to hear from you eight six six eight three, eight forty eight forty three. 23 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.000 In the meantime, we will talk draft all morning long with you. 24 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.039 Whatever's on your mind. In the world of sports is a topic. But 25 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.759 I would guess most people will want to talk about draft picks, Lions draft 26 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.680 and other teams, for example New York Scott. I'm sure we'll call in 27 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:21.960 at some point to talk about, like neighbors, the Giants draft pick, 28 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.479 which I thought was dead on. I was sitting with a number of ex 29 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.639 Lions, one of them, Rob Rubik, will join us at seven point 30 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.759 thirty five. But I was sitting with Rob Rubik and George Jamison and Scott 31 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.080 Conover. We were kind of going over who we thought was going to go 32 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.479 where I'm sure you were doing the same thing with friends wherever it is you 33 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:50.879 may have been watching. I got the first six picks. I thought J. 34 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.039 C. Latham went to Tennessee at number seven. It doesn't surprise me 35 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.639 that they went offensive line. I actually was thinking that the Chargers might take 36 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.360 Latham six and forty two, huge hands. I thought that might have been 37 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.479 a draft pick anyway. So I missed on that, and obviously I missed 38 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.879 on Michael Pennock's. Others felt kind of the way I thought, although there 39 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.159 was a part of me that thought brock Bauers might go to the Jets. 40 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.639 But it was a good pick with Feshano out of penn State. We'll take 41 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.680 your phone calls at eight six, eight three, eight forty eight forty three. 42 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:30.439 There are a ton of a ton of draft records last night. For 43 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.800 example, it was the first time that six quarterbacks were taken in the first 44 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:43.639 twelve picks. The first fourteen players selected were offensive players. That's a new 45 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:53.920 record six quarterbacks taking in the first round ties a record. With the quarterback 46 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:59.120 class of nineteen eighty three, that's the Dan Marino, John Elway class, 47 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.399 Tony Easton, Todd Blackledge On and On Ken O'Brien. Twenty three first round 48 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:13.959 offensive players is a new record. The former record was nineteen. So that 49 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:19.160 tells you how offensively gifted they felt. This draft was number one and number 50 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:27.040 two. How desperate perhaps some teams were for trying to get offensive players. 51 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.040 So we've got a ton of things to break down for you, a ton 52 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.079 of things to let you know in case you didn't already know, and perhaps 53 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:41.120 you did because you were following along just like I was. This is the 54 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:46.720 second draft where all top ten picks were offensive. The other was twenty twenty 55 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.639 one, and then it obviously went on to fourteen, and it's the second 56 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.959 time ever with six quarterbacks in the first round. As we mentioned, it's 57 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:03.279 amazing. Fourteen first picks were defensive players. That's double the amount of the 58 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:09.680 previous record. Here's the other thing. There's a few things. When I 59 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.439 watched the draft coverage, it's really good. You know, depending on which 60 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.279 one you watch. NFL Network does a really good job. ESPN I think 61 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.560 does a really good job. It's kind of partial to NFL Network with some 62 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:27.160 of the insight that they give. I thought it was really good. The 63 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.600 interviews I thought on ESPN were very good. Holly McGrath did a really nice 64 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:35.879 job. So either way, I don't think you could go wrong. I 65 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:43.439 do like the nuggets, the informational nuggets given by NFL Network. I thought 66 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.639 a little bit more in tune with at least what I enjoy hearing about. 67 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.480 So we'll get to the NFL Draft for sure. Congratulations to the city of 68 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.959 Detroit early on. I get it, it's only the first round. They're 69 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.639 going to be there all weekend. But I thought like everything that Detroit had, 70 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:09.120 everything that was done, was top notch, first rate, and it 71 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.720 doesn't surprise me. It does not surprise me at all. Detroit has put 72 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:19.560 on some phenomenal events, the biggest events in the world sports wise, over 73 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:25.639 the years. They've had Super Bowls. Okay, now, one was at 74 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.399 Pontiac Silverdale a long long time ago, but the most recent one went off 75 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:36.720 without a hitch perfect. They've had All Star Games, okay, They've had 76 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:45.439 drafts, NBA Draft. They've had championship Series, Stanley Cup, NBA Finals. 77 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:47.560 Right, even if it's Auburn Hills, it doesn't matter. I mean, 78 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.360 it's still Metro Detroit, and you know the NBA comes in and takes 79 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.759 over. You still have to have hotels. I know it was a long 80 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.600 time ago, but still the point is they did it right. Grand Prixs, 81 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:09.920 Ryder Cups, Frozen fours, National Championships, very well done, excellent. 82 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.360 So the start was great, and I thought really important, and I 83 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:20.360 mean really important that you had good weather. That would have sucked for people 84 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:30.519 downtown in the entire area if the weather wasn't at least palatable. It wasn't 85 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.519 ideal. You'd love it to be a little bit warmer. But it was 86 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.279 great. So hats off to Detroit. At least in round one. I 87 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.200 would expect the same thing. Here's the one thing I wanted Detroit to do. 88 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.519 And it's not like I'm a fan of his, because I am not. 89 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:52.120 But everywhere Roger Goodell or any commissioner goes, they give booed. Even 90 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.919 Adam Silver gets booed in the NBA. I don't know what it is about 91 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.840 that position in sports, but everywhere where they go he gets booed. Roger 92 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.399 Goodell gets booted every draft. It would have been much different, much more 93 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:15.120 unique, if Detroit had actually cheered him. Now, maybe the NFL likes 94 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:16.399 it that way because it gives you something to talk about. I doubt it, 95 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.320 but I'll leave that open to discussion. I suppose I think I thought 96 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:24.000 it would been really cool had Detroit said, Hey, here comes Roger Dell. 97 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:31.759 Hey welcome, Big Midwest, Open, Big Midwest. Welcome. Now 98 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.039 not everybody is from Detroit. That's what made the selection. I think of 99 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.200 that city. Perfect driving distance to Chicago, driving distance from Indiana Indianapolis, 100 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.000 driving distance from Cincinnati and Cleveland and Pittsburgh. A lot of places where fans 101 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.519 could get there. We'll talk about it with you eight six six eight three, 102 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.240 eight forty eight forty three. Text the show Sports Radio to twenty one 103 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.159 thousand, jump into the conversation.

I would say most people, and 131 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:35.039 that's the audio from ESPN, I believe last night. I would say most 132 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:43.639 Lions fans, if not all hard to get a consensus, but most would 133 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:50.399 tell you they love this pick. Why do you love it? That's the 134 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:58.159 question. Welcome back, Exus and bros. Welcome to ascend at Staring Eagle 135 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.320 Casino and Resort. We're here with it till nine o'clock Monday through Friday, 136 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:07.559 six till nine not at Sarry Eagle, but definitely on X's and Bros. 137 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.440 And our phone numbers eight sixty six, eight three, eight forty eight forty 138 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:20.039 three physical corner ballhawk. Some would argue hard to believe this, but some 139 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.440 would argue he's almost too physical sometimes. I think mel Kiper said that last 140 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:31.200 night, which to me is ridiculous that somebody would have that label too physical. 141 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.639 The sport of football is all about being physical, right, But I 142 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.159 think when they say that, and I don't want to put words in their 143 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.360 mouth, I'm going to read, I'm going to interpret that little handsy at 144 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:48.960 times, that's okay. You got to get your hands on guys to slow 145 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.679 him down a little bit within five yards and as long as you're not holding 146 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.200 that will be key. Here's his numbers last year. Five picks seventeen breakups 147 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:03.120 for the University of Alabama in his career three year career with the Crimson Tide, 148 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.720 six picks twenty six breakups at one hundred and eight tackles. What does 149 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.000 that mean? You know what? Who knows? Honestly? Who knows? 150 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.799 You're not sure? And neither am I You know why? Who are the 151 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:26.440 past breakups against? Who are the interceptions against Is he being thrown at a 152 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.320 lot? How much did he help kool aid McKinstry, and how much did 153 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.799 kool aid McKinstry help him, How much did Dallas Turner help him? And 154 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.320 vice versa. Those are the things that scouts are supposed to know and recognize. 155 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.639 But we do know that he is widely viewed in this draft as one 156 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:50.200 of the best defensive players in the country coming out of college and one of 157 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:58.279 the best corners. Is he as good as Mitchell? I don't know. 158 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.440 Debating that last night, if you look at it and Queyon Mitchell was taken 159 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:11.720 twenty two overall by Philadelphia, he's out of Toledo. The thing you have 160 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.200 to I mean, how much a you're looking at who they're playing. Who 161 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.960 is Quinnon Mitchell facing in the Mid American Conference? And I'm a Mac guy. 162 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.480 It's no disparaging the Mac, but they don't have the same wide receivers 163 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:28.200 as the SEC. There's no league neighbors. Okay, in the Mid American 164 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:35.440 Conference. As much as I love the Mac, there just isn't. Sorry 165 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.279 it happens, doesn't mean he's not a good corner. I'm just wondering about 166 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:48.320 the type of challenges that he gets. There's no Brian Thomas, and Brian 167 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:54.600 Thomas was taken twenty third by Jacksonville. Explosive, high flying put a huge 168 00:15:54.679 --> 00:16:00.279 numbers, big vertical weapons, seventeen touchdowns. Those are big numbers, right, 169 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.399 so I think you have to take that into account. Mitchell's a good 170 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:11.159 sized kid, strong. They say he's smart. Nick Saban last night, 171 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:14.519 I think he was on NFL network and said or maybe it was a different 172 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.440 network, but he said that, you know what, everybody loves him. 173 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.600 He's a guy that used to come over to my house and watch, you 174 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:23.679 know, spend some time with us. Nick Saban's wife loved him. He 175 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:30.879 sat next to Nick Saban in the defensive meetings. Pays attention can break down 176 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:41.639 film all the things the Lions like about a player he has. Here's why 177 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.000 I believe Lions fans love it, and that could be wrong, So feel 178 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.200 free to give me a shout at eight sixty six eight three, eight forty 179 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.600 eight forty three and say no, I like it because of a different reason. 180 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:59.000 I think they like it because it feels in need personally. I like 181 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:06.440 it because it's two things that I've preached forever. When making a draft pick, 182 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.640 and that is you want to take the best player available, and in 183 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:17.519 a perfect world, you also fill a need the Lions did not reach. 184 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.400 The Lions filled a massive need no Cam Sutton. So you needed a cornerback. 185 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.240 You needed a really good one. You needed a guy who could probably 186 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.119 step in right away. That's really hard. At the NFL level. Cornerback 187 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.160 position is probably the second most difficult position to transition from college to pro. 188 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.119 So you filled a need, but you did it without reaching. You did 189 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:41.640 it with a really good guy. Do you like the fact that they moved 190 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.400 up five spots and traded a third round pick, got a seventh round pick 191 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:52.799 back. Sometimes that's what it takes. Why did they do it? I 192 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:59.440 didn't think Dallas was going to take a cornerback, but if they had him 193 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:06.920 rated, Dallas ended up taking who was it, Tyler Geyton. He's the 194 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:14.119 offensive lineman out of Oklahoma. I believe Dallas was kind of positioned to take 195 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:19.799 an offensive lineman. There had to be somebody there who, somehow, some 196 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:26.000 way the Lions felt was going to take him. I don't know if it 197 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:30.039 was Green Bay who ended up taking Jordan Morgan, the offensive tackle from Arizona. 198 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.880 I don't know if it was Tampa who ended up taking Graham Barton, 199 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:41.000 the duke interior offensive lineman, would it have been Arizona. They drafted Darius 200 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.599 Robinson. They had very few sacks a year ago, I think thirty three 201 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:49.599 sacks last year, so they needed to upgrade. Robinson had eight and a 202 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:56.440 half at Missouri, really elevated his stock at the Senior Bowl. Here's the 203 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:03.319 other question I have for people who at every draft you're going to get compared 204 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:10.640 to one player. The fan base is going to compare you to a specific 205 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:21.000 player. Who is it well for Detroit drafting Terry on Arnold trading up for 206 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:26.119 I think it's it's I don't think it's the next guy. I don't think 207 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.640 it's necessarily the Jordan Morgan draft pick for Green Bay. I don't think you're 208 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:36.440 comparing a cornerback to a tackle. I think it's Lions fans will move forward 209 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:38.880 and say, if you were going to move up and you're going to take 210 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:45.960 a corner why him? I get it. I think most fans get it 211 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.920 too. If they follow college football and they follow the draft, then you 212 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:56.440 know the the so called experts how much they like Terry On Arnold that many 213 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.359 people who follow this, who do this for a living, and I respect 214 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.160 their opinions because they put a lot of time and effort into it, most 215 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.759 of them. I mean, this is not Charles Barkley at the NCAA tournament, 216 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.519 you know. I mean Charles Barkley. He works for TNT when the 217 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.279 NCUBLEA Tournament goes on. You can tell. I mean, he has no 218 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.599 idea. He doesn't watch college basketball. He watches the NBA. He gets 219 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:23.039 told a few things, he says it. It's pretty generic, you can 220 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.319 tell. I mean, if you really pay attention, you watch it for 221 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:33.200 entertainment. You don't watch and take his opinion for college basketball for knowledge. 222 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.799 You just don't. So these guys, these guys do this year round. 223 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:44.039 They're following it right, So I respect it very much that many people having 224 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:48.960 him as either the first or second best cornerback in the draft can't be wrong, 225 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.799 can they. I wouldn't think so. I suppose it's possible, but 226 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.839 I doubt it. Everybody had him as one of the best cornerbacks. Him 227 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:03.480 and Mitchell fight it out one or two. I think he's going to get 228 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:10.599 compared to another player in this draft by Lions fans. I'll tell you who 229 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:14.440 that player is when we come back. Phone numbers eight sixty six, eight 230 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.240 three, eight forty eight forty three. You could text US Sports Radio to 231 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.880 twenty one thousand.

These fans gonna be crazy, man, God leave. 256 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:29.359 The Lions have announced themselves as Super Bowl contenders. What are you going 257 00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.400 to help this franchise get there? You already said it. I'm gonna help 258 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:48.680 him win a Super Bowl? Listen that what on? What up? Hey? 259 00:23:48.759 --> 00:24:07.960 It's amazing. Man. We're gonna go crazy. Man. That's the 260 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:14.839 newest Lion on ESPN last night. The newest Lion who is drafted twenty fourth 261 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:22.559 overall. He is Terry On Arnold. Lions moved up five spots to draft 262 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.640 him, gave up a third round pick, collected a seventh round choice. 263 00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.000 One of the scouting reports on Arnold he's an electric player. It's the first 264 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:40.079 team all sec great energy, he's physical. Many people feel like it is 265 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.279 another home run. Let me tell you another key thing that people have said 266 00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.240 about him. He loves football. Now it's easy for people to say I 267 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.880 love football. You have to show it, and he shows it. He 268 00:24:52.960 --> 00:25:02.960 allowed the fifth lowest passer rating in the NCAA last year. That tells you 269 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.839 something too. Now he said, you all got a star. Okay, 270 00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:15.319 I've said this for a long time about cornerbacks, especially cornerbacks wide receivers. 271 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:23.240 Cornerbacks must play with supreme confidence because they get challenged. Not just about every 272 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:29.799 play, They're gonna get challenged every game. For sure, somebody's gonna go 273 00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.720 after him. You have to have a short memory, you have to be 274 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:38.000 supremely confident, and he sure seems like he is. But every player in 275 00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:42.440 a draft by a fan base, I believe, gets compared to somebody else. 276 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.640 Are they going to be as good as this guy? Usually it's the 277 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.240 player taken right after him, because then you can play the game. You 278 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:57.000 could have had this guy, You could have had Aaron Donald. Remember, 279 00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:03.680 Lions fans, sure you okay? So who is it for you? And 280 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:10.799 in this draft for Terry on Arnold, Because like I said just before the 281 00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:15.559 break, it's not going to be Jordan Morgan. He was the tackle from 282 00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:22.599 Arizona who went to Green Bay Athletic powerful started thirty seven to forty one games 283 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.000 with the Wildcats. So who is it? I think it's Nate Wiggins. 284 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.559 I think it's Nate Wiggins because he's a pure cornerback. He played at Clemson, 285 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:41.000 he's super fast, and he was drafted by a franchise you greatly respect, 286 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:48.440 the Baltimore Ravens. He was taken thirtieth overall. I think when Lions 287 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:56.960 fans and analysts moved forward, as you measure one player against another, it's 288 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:02.559 bound to happen. It's okay, I mean everybody. You don't think people 289 00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:07.200 in Chicago are going to be doing that? Absolutely, they are could have 290 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.359 had Patrick Mahomes took Mitch Trubisky. Don't have a great history of drafting quarterbacks. 291 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.559 This, that and the other thing. They drafted Caleb Williams first overall. 292 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:23.759 Chicago Bear fans guaranteed will follow Caleb Williams so closely, but they will 293 00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:30.240 also follow Jaden Daniels, and they will follow Drake May, and they will 294 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:37.400 follow Michael Pennix, and they will follow JJ McCarthy. Because all those quarterbacks 295 00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:45.599 were drafted in the top ten. I doubt they'll follow bow Nicks, who 296 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:53.400 was drafted by Denver at number twelve overall, because he was never mentioned as 297 00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:56.359 the first quarterback taken. You know what, let me take the Pennox thing 298 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:02.759 back, because I don't think he was ever mentioned as one of the top 299 00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.559 four quarterbacks either. I think it's going to be Williams compared to Daniels, 300 00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:12.759 compared to May, and to a certain extent, I think compared to JJ 301 00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:19.559 McCarthy, even though he was taken behind Michael pennix. So I think that's 302 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:26.920 something natural that a lot of NFL fans do, and I think it's not 303 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.200 just NFL. I think a lot of people do it in other sports. 304 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:34.160 They just don't follow those sports in those draft picks quite as closely. For 305 00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:41.880 example, do you think Tiger's fans are monitoring how Austin Martin does? No, 306 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.119 they're not, and he's been traded a couple times already, but I 307 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.519 don't think they're doing that. But I think when it comes to especially first 308 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:55.319 round picks, I think NFL fans do that probably more than anybody. Our 309 00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:57.920 phone number is eight sixty six eight three, eight forty eight forty three. 310 00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.079 Let me give you some quick sports news in case you missed it, because 311 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:08.640 we're all wrapped up and rightfully so, in the NFL draft. Here's what 312 00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:11.119 else took place last night, and we'll go through the draft a little bit 313 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.640 with you. Happy to do that, Love doing that, Want the conversation 314 00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:22.599 to keep going. Last night in the NBA, the Nuggets came back and 315 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:27.759 beat the Lakers, And I've got a slight observation here, and I want 316 00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.079 to know if you're with me on it. But let me just say this. 317 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:36.720 No team has ever come back from being down three to nothing. They're 318 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.200 zero in one hundred and fifty one. The Lakers are the first team in 319 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.920 the last twenty five years to have a lead of twelve points or more in 320 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:51.079 each game and lose first team in twenty five years. To do that, 321 00:29:52.880 --> 00:30:03.559 Denver got Gordon, Porter and Jokic with double doubles. La Is Denvers, 322 00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:10.400 you know what, it's a good Metallica song. It ain't my blank. 323 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:18.079 They've won seventh straight playoff games against him, eleven games overall. Here's my 324 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:23.559 observation. There's a play last night, so a couple things. Lebron James 325 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:27.039 comes. Lebron James can do no wrong for basketball fans. I mean, 326 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:32.119 for some reason, people just think he walks on water. I don't know 327 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:38.039 if there's a bigger whiner slash baby in the entire league. He's an athletic 328 00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:44.200 freak, arguably the greatest player of all time. I'd take Michael Jordan, 329 00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:48.839 but Lebron James is in the conversation without a doubt. But nobody complains and 330 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:53.920 whins and throws their palms to the sky, shrugs their shoulders, rolls their 331 00:30:53.920 --> 00:31:00.599 eyes, chirps at the ref more than Lebron James. Nobody, absolutely nobody. 332 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:03.960 There was a play last night. He turned it over. He's dribbling, 333 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.400 it goes out of bounds. He turns around starts complaining he's the one 334 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:15.039 who dribbled it out of bounds, and then afterwards he and Anthony Davis and 335 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:19.839 their competitors. I love that about him. I wouldn't want to stand in 336 00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:26.920 front of reporters asking questions after losing a game either, especially when you have 337 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:32.880 blown double digit leads in each of the first three games. So him talking 338 00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:37.319 to reporters, I give him credit. I do neither he nor Anthony Davis. 339 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.079 The last game after Game two were happy. I mean they they had 340 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.640 a drop to mic moment, it was really quick and they left. Can't 341 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.359 blame him. Wouldn't like it if I was covering it as a reporter, 342 00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:55.480 because you know, that's part of my job is to ask questions. But 343 00:31:55.599 --> 00:32:00.880 I get it. I get why they're upset. Here's what he said last 344 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:07.960 night. He was talking about it's just basketball. It's just basketball. It's 345 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:15.920 just a basketball game. I cannot stand that argument. And the reason I 346 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.680 can't stand it is because if we ever said that to them after a win, 347 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:24.359 after a big moment, after a huge personal accomplishment, if I just 348 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:27.960 said to them, oh, you just want a championship, yah, but 349 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.920 it's just basketball. So what difference does it make? How pissed off would 350 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:38.319 they be? Have you ever seen the clip with Derek Anderson, the former 351 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:44.759 quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers and others, where somebody asks him 352 00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:49.640 about laughing on the sidelines. What were you laughing about when you're getting beat 353 00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.839 and so on and so forth? And he says, I wasn't laughing. 354 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.839 He said, do you know how much time and effort I put into this? 355 00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:58.720 Do you know how much film I watch? He went off on the 356 00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:04.000 reporter, went off find the interviewer. And you're like, oh, okay, 357 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:09.759 I mean it takes it personal. He's passionate. What if you said 358 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.799 that to Lebron James. He's in a scrum getting ready to play the Pistons 359 00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:19.079 at Little Caesars Arena after practice. You go in and you say, you 360 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.000 guys have won six in a row. What's been the key? Oh, 361 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:23.519 we're playing really well together. Where he got symmetry and so yeah, but 362 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:29.359 it's just basketball. What do you think he'd say to you, don't give 363 00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:32.279 me this. It's just basketball stuff. It's your livelihood, it's your career, 364 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.799 it's worth billions of dollars. It's a billion dollars, billions of dollar 365 00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:44.880 business. It's just it's such a such a double stand. It's such a 366 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:52.839 hypocritical stance. Orlando blew out Cleveland one twenty eighty three. Paulo bon Caro 367 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:57.640 had thirty one points fourteen rebounds. It's Cleveland's worst playoff loss in franchise history. 368 00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:04.359 Folks Orlando led by as many as forty three and wrote to their first 369 00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:08.039 home playoff win since twenty eleven. They led by as many as forty three. 370 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:12.880 I don't think they led in either of the first two games of the 371 00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:20.039 series against Cleveland. Sixers got fifty from Joel Embiid. They win one twenty 372 00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:25.559 five to one. Fourteen TA get on board in the series with the Knicks. 373 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.920 In hockey, Florida beat Tampa three too. They lead the series three 374 00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:36.119 games to none. Sam Reinhardt scored a goal. Matt Kuchuk scored a couple 375 00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:42.159 of goals. The Panthers have now won nineteen of their last twenty playoff games 376 00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:47.199 when they score three goals or more. Hello defense, Hello goaltending, Hello 377 00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:55.000 contention for cups. That's how you do it. Meanwhile, Carolina beat the 378 00:34:55.159 --> 00:35:01.039 Islanders and they lead the series three games to none. I set it after 379 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:07.320 Game two, when the Islanders were up three three nothing in the third and 380 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:15.320 Carolina scored five times, including three goals. I believe in about thirty seconds, 381 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:22.519 two goals within nine seconds of one another, that the Islanders are done. 382 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:27.800 I don't know how you come back from something like that. First of 383 00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:31.079 all, coming back from three games to none is one thing, coming back 384 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:37.159 after emotional. It's one thing physically. These guys who used to playing back 385 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:42.960 to back every other day, high intensity opposing barns that get really loud. 386 00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.280 But when you're up three to nothing in the third, you're twenty minutes away 387 00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:53.920 from taking home ice advantage, away getting even in the series. I'm not 388 00:35:53.960 --> 00:36:00.800 a big believer in momentum from game to game in a series, but there's 389 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:08.840 something about the mental aspect of postseason play that requires incredible strength, not physical 390 00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:12.880 but mental strength. I just don't know how they bounce back from something like 391 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:19.239 that. Tiger's is gonna Hosse Kansas City tonight. It's resouls and against Seth 392 00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.280 Lugo, who's by the way, three and one. Royals beat the Blue 393 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:30.000 Jays yesterday two to one. Here's the storyline. Salvador Perez is thirty three 394 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:36.440 years old. He had a first inning to run homer for the Royals. 395 00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:45.280 He leads the American League and runs bad at him and Kansas City is off 396 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:52.000 to a pretty damn good start. Sixteen to ten. They are seven and 397 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:59.320 three in the division, same as Detroit. It's twenty six games deep. 398 00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:04.320 Man, I'm not going to overreact and talk about this as a massive series 399 00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:12.079 because it's not yet. But when you have a team that is starting to 400 00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.159 feel itself a little bit, Kansas City's got some pretty good players. I 401 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:20.280 like a number of their young players, I really do. I mean, 402 00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:23.519 I know they were not good a year ago, all right, I'm talking 403 00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:30.400 about the team in general. Their pitching was awful and at times their defense 404 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:36.039 had a lot to be desired. The big reason why Kansas City was last 405 00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:38.320 in the division at fifty six and one oho six, they were a minus 406 00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:45.639 one point eighty three in run differential. Horrendous. Put that in perspective, 407 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:50.559 the Twins, who won the division last year, were a plus one to 408 00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:55.119 nineteen in run differential. The Tigers finished second, they were a minus seventy 409 00:37:55.199 --> 00:38:00.679 nine. The Twins were the only team with a run different parential as positive 410 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:06.519 the only team you want a key indicator on whether or not a team makes 411 00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:12.280 the playoffs. Look at that. There's not many teams that are minus in 412 00:38:12.320 --> 00:38:19.519 the run differential and reach the postseason. Miami did a year ago, Arizona 413 00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.519 did a year ago. Arizona was a minus fifteen. Though it's not a 414 00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:30.480 huge difference, but it's a pretty damn good indicator so far. So it's 415 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:32.239 I'm not saying it's the only one, but it's pretty good right now. 416 00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:37.039 Kansas City's a plus thirty nine, big reason why they're above five hundred and 417 00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:40.079 at least early on. Now. Can they sustain it? I don't know, 418 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:45.800 I really don't. I don't know enough about them. I know they're 419 00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:51.960 young core and guys are going to It's going to take some time for guys 420 00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.280 to learn the major leagues. You know. Bobby Witt Junior is still a 421 00:38:54.280 --> 00:39:00.960 really young player. He is a phenomenal player. Really like him. Vinnie 422 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:06.719 Pascentino, I really like, not a huge fan of MJ. Melndez. 423 00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:13.320 Don't think he's super good. Michael Massey seems like he's got some skill, 424 00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:19.199 but he's off to a struggling start. Kyle Isbel's a pretty good center fielder. 425 00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:22.840 So they've got some decent young players, not as many as Toronto, 426 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:30.320 but they just won the series with Toronto. Toronto's got Bashett Guerrero, Junior 427 00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:37.320 var Show, Alejandro Kirk. They've got some good players man and Kansas City 428 00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.760 just took care of business the last couple of games. So we'll take your 429 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:44.280 phone calls eight six six eight three, eight forty eight forty three. Love 430 00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:49.039 the text as well.

Whatever is on your mind, we're open 440 00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:38.039 to it. Lions with a really good pick yesterday, they move up, 441 00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:42.960 they trade with Dallas, they get Terry on Arnold, the cornerback from Alabama. 442 00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:46.440 The thoughts on that as well, I've already given you who I think 443 00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:52.679 he's going to be compared to. I like the draft pick a lot. 444 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:57.199 I like the fact that it addresses a need, but I love the fact 445 00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:01.840 that I trust the fact more than anything else. The Brad Holmes selected the 446 00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:08.800 player he had highest on his board. It's a philosophy. Not everybody shares 447 00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:14.440 it. I'm not saying it's completely right, but it's it's a philosophy they 448 00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:21.320 get overall. Depending on which draft guru you want to listen to, Terry 449 00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:23.639 On Arnold was considered the second best corner and he was drafted. He was 450 00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:28.840 the second corner taken and the eleventh best player overall, and the Lions got 451 00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:34.320 him at twenty four. I don't know if you pay attention to Matt Miller, 452 00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:37.440 mel Kiper, Daniel Jeremiah, whomever. For the most part, he 453 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:42.480 had a really high grade and that's where he rated.
