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.

Evaluating a single rookie's impact on a team that went 8-9 requires detailed analysis beyond available information.

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.

Baker Mayfield would be the NFL MVP if the season ended today

We were on that Fox show and they asked me who I thought the MVP would be and I said, if we did it today, it'd be Baker. And I just compare him to Brett Favre when we were in Green Bay. He brought life to the huddle.

Subjective mid-season evaluation.

Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year

Ty Simpson could win the Heisman Trophy this year. He's not making everyday throws now. He's pushing it down the field. He's getting outta trouble. He's got a soul about it, man.

Ty Simpson did not win the 2025 Heisman Trophy. Fernando Mendoza of Indiana won the Heisman in 2025.

The Steelers have arguably the best fourth-quarter pass rush in the NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers are another team that I'm really excited about. I think they have arguably the best fourth quarter pass rush. They got three ends that can kick your ass.

This is a subjective evaluation of a specific unit's performance.
