Kyle Pitts is the safest pick of the 2021 NFL Draft

I think the safest pick of the draft, Kyle Pitts.

Pitts had a massive rookie season (1,000 yards) but has since struggled with usage and injuries, though his talent remains undeniable.

The 49ers created the best smokescreen in NFL draft history

I would not put that past Kyle Shanahan because this is the best smokescreen that I think I've ever seen in the NFL draft [leading people to believe they wanted Mac Jones].

The Niners did successfully keep their pick secret until the end, with many experts incorrectly predicting Jones to SF at #3.

The 49ers shouldn't have traded up to 3 for Mac Jones if he was available at 15

The point was the 49ers traded a lot to get up to 3, and you shouldn't take a guy at 3 that you could potentially have at 15 like the Patriots got.

The 49ers took Trey Lance at 3 and Jones fell to 15, so the value assessment was factually supported by the draft board, though subjective in terms of player quality.

Aaron Rodgers will go to the Broncos

I think [Aaron Rodgers] is going to go to Denver, and it's got to be an awesome life to be a Broncos fan. Because it's like, yeah, you get a couple seasons that are mixed in here and there, but then you just get good quarterbacks that just want to come to you. And Aaron Rodgers sounds like he wants to go there.

Rodgers did not go to Denver; he stayed with the Packers for two more seasons before being traded to the Jets in 2023.

The Ravens' fourth-quarter problems are moving earlier

Historically, the fourth-quarter Ravens have not been a great team. That fourth-quarter Ravens has started to creep its way into the third-quarter Ravens. And I think eventually it's going to keep creeping earlier and earlier in the game. I don't think it's going to get better because the defense does not look good.

This is a season-long assessment that can only be judged against Baltimore's eventual 2026 performance.

Baker Mayfield has a real revenge game against Cleveland

This is like a big Baker revenge spot too. This is not a made-up Baker—I have a perceived slight against me because some team didn't trade for me when I was on the market. This is Baker Mayfield against Stefanski, and they haven't talked since he left Cleveland.

Whether the personal history materially affects the game is subjective, though the stated public grievance is part of the episode's context.

The NFL should reduce the season to 16 games

I'm going to say it. I think that 17 games is too much. I like the scarcity. I like if you brought it back to 16, because the NFL's also been playing this game for a long time where they have to find safer-looking ways to do a dangerous activity.

The preferred NFL schedule is a policy judgment, though the player-safety rationale is grounded in the discussion's cited study.
