I would stake my reputation on Kenneth Murray being a successful NFL player

I'll give you one that I would take a pay cut for... linebacker Kenneth Murray from Oklahoma is just going to be a really, really good player. His wiring and intelligence, competitiveness, all that stuff—off the charts. He's just got too many things lined up for him not to be successful.

Murray was a first-round pick and has been a consistent starter in the NFL, though he hasn't reached elite All-Pro status. Jeremiah's prediction of him being 'really, really good' is generally correct.

Jerry Krause deserves credit for the Bulls dynasty but his ego was a detriment

[Jerry] Krause deserved more credit than he got but wanted more credit than he deserved. So he's constantly stuck in that spot where he is like, 'I should be getting more credit.' And he probably, in a weird way, should, but he wanted so much credit that it then became a detriment and a galvanizing force for those Bulls teams.

Subjective assessment of Krause's legacy and management style.

Kobe Bryant was the closest player to Michael Jordan in terms of his competitive mean streak

I think Kobe [Bryant] gets interviewed for this and... he was the closest thing to MJ after MJ in terms of that competitive mean streak. At all costs, like 'I will do anything it takes to do it.'

Subjective comparison of competitive drive between two all-time greats.

Leaked Wonderlic scores are a smokescreen designed to hurt Tua Tagovailoa's draft stock

They were also incorrect leaked Wonderlic scores all that which tells me it's smokescreen season for someone out there. Like someone wants the rest of the NFL to believe that Tua is dumb because they gave Tua a 13 in the first Wonderlic score. It's not true at all. That's not what he got.

Tua's actual score was reported as an 18 or 19 by most reliable sources, proving the '13' report was likely inaccurate or a rough draft leak.

The 2025 NFL Draft class is full of starters but lacks true star power

I've just been saying it's starters not stars... last year we had six quarterbacks... and this year when you've got, you know, Cam Ward seems locked in at one, Travis Hunter seems locked in at two... there's not really that juice there at the top.

This is a long-term assessment of a draft class.

Jackson Dart's career trajectory and play style is similar to Jalen Hurts

To me, [Jackson] Dart, my comp on him was kind of off the walls... but he reminded me of Jalen Hurts. Just from the standpoint of they kind of built similarly. They're like strong, sturdy, tough guys. They got better each and every year in college. I think you're kind of buying into the kid and the competitiveness.

A scouting comparison is inherently an opinion and can only be judged by the long-term success of Dart's career.

Trayveon Henderson is arguably the best pass-protecting running back to come out of college in decades

Trayveon Henderson for me from Ohio State... he's arguably, and I have to go back through my notes like from way back in the early 2000s, I don't recall off the top of my head a better past protecting back coming out of college. Like he's unbelievable at it.

Pass protection quality is subjective but verifiable through NFL performance metrics over time.
