Donovan McNabb

Friday, April 28, 201710 takes

We break down the entire first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. What were the Bears thinking? Is John Lynch the greatest GM of all time? Was everyone trading up for Quarterbacks drunk? Vanny Woodhead update and the story of getting pulled over on the New Jersey Turnpike for being too swaggy (we actually had a busted headlight) . Former Philadelphia Eagle Donovan McNabb joins the show to talk about the draft, his draft memories, how he doesn't think TO should be in the Hall of Fame, allegedly puking in the Super Bowl and Mean Tweets ( - ). PR 101 Roger Goodell, Trouble in Paradise for the Knicks, Done or Finished, Seeing Red and Luck of the Irish, Panic Button for the Washington Capitols, and Jimbos of the Week.

Mitchell Trubisky will be good for the Bears

I'm going to spin zone it real quick. I think [Mitchell Trubisky] is going to be good, okay? And he gets to learn behind Mike Glennon and Mark Sanchez... He actually had, I read this stat because I was digging deep trying to sell myself on this. I have 66% completion rate under pressure. Highest of any quarterback drafted in the first round.

Mitchell Trubisky is widely considered a bust for the Bears, especially given they passed on Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.

Gareon Conley is better off in Las Vegas than Cleveland

Do you think that [Gareon] Conley's going to be better off getting away from Cleveland where there's all these nightlife and temptations and all that and going to a low-key place like Las Vegas? I think that'll keep him in line... The desert heat might dry you out. Stay out of trouble.

The joke is that Las Vegas is far more of a 'nightlife' city than Cleveland.

The Chiefs trading up for Patrick Mahomes was the worst pick in the draft

The worst pick, I think, in the draft was [Patrick] Mahomes at 10 and the Chiefs trading up 17 picks to get him? Do you think they did that because they're like, yo, Ryan Pace is going to get a lot of heat? Now's our time to just go under the radar.

Mahomes became a 3x Super Bowl winner and multi-time MVP, making the trade-up one of the best in NFL history.

Patrick Mahomes' arm is too strong for the Andy Reid offense

I also think it was a questionable move by Andy Reid. It doesn't really fit his system, which is throw the ball like four yards. His arm is too strong for the Andy Reid offense. He's just going to be overthrowing his receivers all day.

Mahomes and Reid formed the most dangerous deep-passing and creative offense in the league.

I would come out of retirement to play for the Browns for $15-18 million

If Cleveland offered you, let's just say $15 million a year, are you coming back? Absolutely... 15 to 18 a year. I'll be back.

The Browns never offered this, and McNabb remained retired.

Terrell Owens' locker room issues were his own fault

If it happens once, then it's kind of overblown. If it happens twice, let's kind of see what's going on. If it happens more than three times, then sometimes it's maybe not anyone else. It may be you... [His antics] wasn't such a problem until it hit the media. Then now he has to defend himself in the media.

This is a subjective assessment of a locker room dynamic.

Deshaun Watson is the best quarterback in the 2017 draft class

I like Deshaun Watson. I think Deshaun Watson has proven he can play in big games... I think Deshaun Watson is probably number one.

Mahomes turned out to be the best in the class, though Watson was very successful early on.

Coach Orgeron will have a five to ten year reign of dominance at LSU

I think that this performance by LSU's draft picks, that's going to push Coach O's recruiting over the top. I'm going to predict a five to ten year reign of dominance for Coach O by [Leonard] Fournette and Jamal Adams.

Orgeron won a title but was out of a job within 5 years of this prediction.

If Rajon Rondo is the linchpin of the Bulls season, that is a big problem

I even hate even more is people saying, oh, well, if Rondo was still in this series, the Bulls win. Yeah, probably right. But if Rajon Rondo is like the linchpin for your whole fucking season, that's a big fucking problem.

The Bulls lost 4 straight to the Celtics after Rondo's injury.

The Capitals are fine and will beat the Penguins

I'm not pressing the panic button on the Caps. The Caps dominated that game. The only stat that didn't go in their favor is the score... I'm throwing the panic button out the window. I'm not going to press it... I'm not worried at all. No, if you watch the game, it was dominance by the Caps.

The Penguins defeated the Capitals in 7 games in the 2017 playoffs.
