The Jaguars fleeced the Browns in the trade to move up for the number two pick

The Jaguars trade was crazy. That was a pretty nuts trade. Fleeced, fleeced. I saw some of the different draft conversion charts. Some people were saying it was an all-time fleecing.

The trade details are part of a fictional scenario within the 2025 setting; the value is subjective based on player performance.

Travis Hunter is a sport-changing player who will alter the trajectory of the game

There are players you can target and acquire who will alter the trajectory of a game. There are players that you can target and acquire that alter the trajectory of a football team. There are very few, and it's rare to be able to target and prioritize a player who can alter the sport itself. This is a sport-changing player. So the game will never be the same.

Whether Hunter 'alters the sport' is an ongoing and subjective determination as his NFL career progresses.

The Browns made a smart move loading up on draft picks and taking Mason Graham

I love what the Browns did though, because the Browns getting more draft picks. They, they are in, you know, purgatory right now... Load up some draft picks and still get a stud with Mason Graham... I just like what the Browns did. Credit to the Browns.

Assessing a draft haul and the fit of a defensive tackle is subjective until the picks play out.

The Browns should take Shedeur Sanders in the second round to start their rebuilding process

In the second round, use one of these picks. Get Shedeur [Sanders]. Shedeur is gonna be extra pissed at the Steelers. They could still take Shedeur. They could take... That's what I'm going with here, Big Cat.

This prediction about the second round of the fictional 2025 draft is pending.

I would die for Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye

[Hank] was crying. Said he was gonna die for Drake Maye. I would die for Vrabel. That's pretty good, Hank. I fucking love him.

Armand Membou is the best offensive lineman in the draft, better than Will Campbell

Memes were saying essentially that the Jets got a much better offensive lineman than the Patriots got. Who's the best o-lineman in the draft Memes? Our guy... Armand [Membou].

Offensive line rankings are subjective and take years of NFL tape to resolve.

Jalen Green eating chicken alfredo before a game is the worst pregame meal ever

Jalen Green was incredible... but the big story about Jalen Green, it was shared during the broadcast. His pregame meal is chicken alfredo. I can't think of a worst game meal to have before playing a basketball game... Still a belly of chicken alfredo at any point is not physical activity... I can't think of maybe gnocchi... creamy alfredo and glass of red wine before I get out there on the court. Yeah, that'll do it.

Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart are two really good picks that change the Giants' dynamic

I love what the Giants did. I love what they did. They need a quarterback... The Giants got Abdul Carter who I think's a really good player. Now you got Brian Burns, you got Thibodeaux, you got Dexter Lawrence... And then they have the guts... they move up and they take Jaxson Dart. I think those are two really good picks for the Giants. And if they come through that, that changes their dynamic of their team.

The success of these picks is pending based on their NFL performance.

Travis Hunter will be a receiver in the NFL, not a two-way player

I just don't know what they're gonna do with [Travis Hunter]. I really think he's a receiver. I think he can impact the game and help their quarterback at receiver. I think you're whistling Zippity do do out your butt if you think he's gonna play both ways in the NFL... We really have to be crazy to think a rookie's gonna come in here and do that right away.

Hunter's usage in Jacksonville will determine if Gruden is correct that he ends up being primarily a receiver.

Malaki Starks is a clutch, game-changing player and a big pickup for the Ravens

Selfishly, I love what the Ravens did, man. I love Malaki Starks... He has this presence about him. He's a great communicator. He's big, strong, experienced. He's just a clutch game changing player. And for the Ravens to get him and pair him with Kyle Hamilton... I'm telling you, that was a big pickup for Baltimore tonight.

Starks' impact on the Ravens defense is pending.

James Pearce Jr. was a major disappointment this year for Tennessee

I want to love [James] Pearce. I don't see Pearce as a run defender yet... I thought he was a major disappointment this year for Tennessee personally.

Hunter Renfrow will be back on an NFL roster this week

Hunter Renfrow was a favorite draft pick of mine. He's gonna be back. He watch this week. You're gonna see a transaction. I love it. He'll be back in football. He belongs in the league.

Whether Renfrow signs a contract in the immediate wake of the 2025 draft is pending.

Alabama is officially a basketball school now

It was an interesting year. It's, we, we got a lot of spoiled Alabama fans... I hate what's going on in, in NCAA sports right now with the, the NIL and the transferring... But, you know, we're a basketball school now.

The first SB2K spring break trip was better than the second one

The first one was better. It was 2016 because it was our first time and it was, I felt like the, the next year we went like we wanted to do it, but it was, it felt like we like had to... It took away the, the fun of the, you know, the debauchery of a, of a boys trip of just playing golf and just, you know, drinking beers the whole time.

Having a stomach bug is one of the worst things that can happen to a human

Getting the stomach bug is by far the worst thing that can possibly happen to a human I think. Cancer, I feel like stomach bug's gotta be up there. Just kidding, just kidding... you feel like you're dying though. It's terrible.

This is an intentionally absurd hyperbolic comparison that cannot be factually evaluated.
