1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.960
<v Speaker 1>When does the draft actually start? It used to start

2
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>at night. When does it start? Now?

3
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Six o'clock?

4
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, our time, six pe our time.

5
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

6
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Now, we don't normally talk about sports on the show,

7
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>but let's be real people. We live in Denver, Colorado,

8
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and on Thursday and Friday of this week, everyone is

9
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be a buzz with what the Broncos are

10
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>going to do. So, in an effort to help you

11
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>sound like you know what you're talking about, and more importantly,

12
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 1>help me sound like I know what I'm talking about,

13
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk to Anthony, who has been deep involved, steeped,

14
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>if you will, in the comings and goings of the

15
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Denver draft situation. Yesterday, Yeah, thanks to kind of a

16
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 1>crazy turn, rumors started getting out and being publicized that

17
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos were going to trade up to get a

18
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 1>running back. Yes, what do you think the chances of

19
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that actually happening are going to be?

20
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I think, unfortunately it's pretty low. And that is coming

21
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>from someone who really wishes that they had the capital

22
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 2>and the wherewithal do it. I just at this point,

23
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 2>especially with the news continuing, I mean, this is just

24
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.359
<v Speaker 2>the the week of smoke screens the week of all

25
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 2>the misdirections.

26
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask a question about this, because you know,

27
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I love the psychology of a good smoke screen. Yes,

28
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>what would be the benefit for the Broncos or anyone

29
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 1>else kind of shoving that that rumor out into the world.

30
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Are they waiting to see who's gonna call? Are they

31
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 1>waiting to see if anybody's interested in trading down?

32
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Could get people to call. It could also, just like

33
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Sean Payton did last year in getting the Vikings to

34
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 2>go get JJ McCarthy, it could get teams to give

35
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>up capital to go for players that they actually don't want.

36
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>That way they're boring falls their way, and the guy

37
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>they actually want that they wouldn't clearly ever really talk about,

38
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>falls right in their lap or within like distance to

39
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>go up and trade for.

40
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Let me just ask you, though, because this ownership group

41
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 1>seems very straightforward, very buttoned up, very squared away.

42
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>They don't.

43
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like an Al Davis move. What you're saying

44
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 1>right there? Are they really like? Is Sean Payton a

45
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 1>schooldugery guy? Is he a Shenanigan's man? That's not how

46
00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 1>I have always viewed him.

47
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 2>He is, and he plays chess in doing so, Okay,

48
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 2>he's very calculated. He knows exactly.

49
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's who he wants in this draft. I'm

50
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>guessing already.

51
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>And this goes back to last year and essentially he

52
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>was freaking out that someone like the La Rams were

53
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>going to take bo Nicks, for example. So he is

54
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 2>going to do whatever it takes to make sure he

55
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>gets his guy. And again, these misdirections are a part

56
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>of it. And yeah, you heard yesterday three independent sources

57
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 2>that are saying the Broncos are potentially one of the

58
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>teams that are looking to trade up, but it may

59
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 2>not be for running back. Ian Rappaport RNFL Net're getting tired,

60
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 2>said Koe Sports yesterday. He thinks that they were to

61
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 2>trade up, which is possible, he thinks it would be

62
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>for a wide receiver, not for a running back. And

63
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 2>we've all heard the Broncos say that they like their

64
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver room. So I mean Matthew Golden of Texas

65
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>as the guys that could go after Ted McMillan is

66
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>a guy that could go after At Arizona, there's a

67
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of good wide receivers, but I don't like the

68
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver class, and I don't ascessarily think that should

69
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>be the move. I think you should be for running back.

70
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>And and the problem is the rumors today that the

71
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Browns at two overall again the Broncos for those that

72
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>know the Broncos are at twenty overall, the Browns at

73
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>two overall, and the Giants at three overall. There's rumors

74
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>that they are fielding calls to move off of those picks,

75
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>potentially teams that are calling them and looking trade. Problem

76
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 2>is that could be for a couple players and they're

77
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>not quarterbacks. That could be for one Travis Hunter, who

78
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the Browns are play gonna take it two, or the

79
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 2>unfortunate one that I think it also could very well

80
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.199
<v Speaker 2>be because he is just astronomically risen up boards. I got.

81
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 2>That is my absolute number one dream scenario, and that

82
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>is Ashton Jancy, the running back out of Boise State.

83
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>There is now talks that first everyone's saying, okay, he's

84
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna go six to the Raiders. Sure, Then we're hearing

85
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 2>yesterday maybe five to the Jaguars. Now people are saying

86
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe the moving up to two or three could be

87
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 2>a team going that high to get him. So if

88
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>if that high five or six wasn't possible for the

89
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Broncos to get jant eight. I mean, it's just now

90
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>it's just further out of range.

91
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 1>So do you think there's any truth to this or

92
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>do you think it was just a smoke screen?

93
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I think there's I think there's I think there's

94
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 2>some a little bit of truth to it. I don't

95
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>say a lot, but I would like to think that

96
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 2>there's a little bit to it because I think the

97
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 2>Broncos are her position roster wise where they kind of

98
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 2>need instead of really the depth. And this is why

99
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 2>I hate the trade back situation in the scenario. I

100
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 2>think they need that those that game breaking talent. I

101
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>mean that's what all That's what everyone was literally telling

102
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 2>me out of the Super Bowl. Anyone I would talk

103
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>to would say, literally, just get bo Nick some weapons.

104
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>If you want to get them a weapon, get guys

105
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>that are the game changers, the difference makers, the Ashton

106
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Janet's of the world. There's are there's some wide receivers

107
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>that'll make a difference, but they need those top level

108
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>guys to take the roster up to the next level.

109
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 2>So I don't like the idea of trading back. I

110
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>love the idea of trading up. I think Ashton Janety

111
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to be on the range, but there's two

112
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 2>other running backs of Marion Hampton and Traveon Henderson, who

113
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>would be the number one, three down back on this

114
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>team immediately.

115
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>And I gotta tell you, after being a Miami Dolphins

116
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>fan during the Marino years and watching him never get

117
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>a Super Bowl because they never had a running game,

118
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 1>I am inclined to say, we've got to get the

119
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>running game just incredibly, incredibly good and let some of

120
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>our wide receivers who are very young come along a

121
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 1>little bit more. And I'm with you, I'd rather see

122
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>your running back. We'll find out though, on Thursday, and

123
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously the draft will go on all weekend through all

124
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the rounds, and we'll have all the coverage here on KOA.

125
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I know the guys on the afternoon show are ready

126
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday to just jump in, and it's exciting for

127
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>running
