Desmond Ridder is the most pro-ready quarterback in the 2022 draft and is comparable to Marcus Mariota

A quarterback that can start right away. Kenny Pickett from Pitt? And it's like the most pro ready guy. I kind of like Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati... Cincinnati is like NFL comp is like Marcus Mariota.

Ridder did not start right away (Marcus Mariota actually started over him in Atlanta) and his career has struggled compared to Mariota's peak.

I want the Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies series to go to seven games because it is so competitive

I agree with you. I want this to go seven. I feel bad for the Timberwolves... this series is so competitive. Every game's a war.

The series ended in 6 games, so his wish for 7 did not come true.

The Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies series is the most fun series to watch because they are the two youngest teams in the NBA

There's a reason why this series is so fun to watch. Obviously you've got great players... [they are] the two youngest teams in the playoffs, two of the five youngest teams in the NBA, which means that you're going to see some guys that have the ability to do like incredible, amazing athletic stuff, but also make really, really stupid, awful mistakes.

The Timberwolves and Grizzlies were indeed among the youngest teams in the league/playoffs that year.

The 2021-22 Atlanta Hawks season ended in a gross way and their ECF run last year might have been a bad thing for the team's development

I think we go back, we revisit like, is it going to end up being a bad thing that they went to the Eastern conference final last year because they went into the playoffs and this whole season being like, we've, we've done something. We can do this. And their season ends in kind of a very gross way... That was a gross, gross ending for the Hawks.

Subjective opinion on team psychology and development path.

Liam Coen is the biggest snake in football for leaving the Buccaneers for the Jaguars

New Jaguar's head coach Liam Coen is the biggest snake in football today... My feelings were hurt when you left... I was a card carrying member. I was a Coenhead.

Whether someone is a 'snake' in this context is entirely subjective.

Trayvon Walker will be a bust

I want to say Trayvon Walker, just because like I'm a traits over production guy and that's what the whole draft is... we haven't seen it on field... What are we doing here? ... I would say if I would pick one bust, it would be him.

Travon Walker had a breakout 2024 season with 10.5 sacks and 61 tackles, his best year as a pro. He has not been a bust — he showed significant improvement and was a productive edge rusher.

Kayvon Thibodeau has red flags because he may not 'love football' due to his outside interests like cryptocurrency

The other flag that I would have, and there's a lot of smoke around this. Guy's Kayvon Thibodeau... I, I love hearing these... red flags around guys. Like, does he love football? This guy has like a ton of outside interest. He started his own cryptocurrencies.

Thibodeau has been a productive starter for the Giants, calling into question the 'doesn't love football' narrative.
