Yeah, we did draft week. One thing that we also did do is wear shirts of a similar color. And it's not like we have a blue background.

Oh, wait, not to overreact to anything, but we didn't plan this, you know. In person, it is different, but on our YouTube channel, it looks it looks very similar, very deep blue. I agree. But and unlike unlike you, mine doesn't bring anything out my eyes. Is that weird? Start the podcast this way. Not weird.

OK, cool. You know what? We're going to Green Bay, Wisconsin. All all the rest of this week, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. The flagship show will be emanating from Green Bay. Can't wait. And we've got a great guest list. It's going to be awesome. We're very excited. Seth Rollins is on the program.

Hey, now, has he made any news? The main event champion will be on Friday, a Bears fan in Wisconsin. So how's that going to go?

Well, I mean, I guess he's going to turn heel when he goes to to Wisconsin. I mean, too late. So lots to talk about, however, about the subject at hand. And it is time to hit it. Hit it. That was terrible. That was crap. That was garbage. This place sucks.

Overreaction Mondays, Monday on a draft week. Nice. Great. OK. All right. How you doing, man?

You ready? Dude, I'm pumped. I said this to Suze the other day.

As I'm getting ready to go, I might repeat this on the flagship. So, you know, you don't have to act like you didn't hurt it before. You also know, too.

I turn around. I'm like, do you know this is my 22nd draft that I'm hosting? It seems like a lot.

When you say it, it's a lot. It's 22. Yeah, it was 22 drafts ago that I was sitting in the NFL Network Studios, the old one that I first met you in Culver City, Culver City, right down on Washington Boulevard.

Now it's across the street from SoFi. But at any rate, where we did the draft, not pick by pick, but just paying attention to the first round in our studio. And that was the draft prior to which Mike Mayock, our Monday flagship guest, said, Hey, Alex Smith is going to be first overall, but I'm saying Aaron Rodgers drops all the way to 24 and Green Bay is going to take him. And we were sitting in our NFL Network Studios, honestly, like, what is he saying? Like, that's Brett Favre, who's not missed a game and is not showing any signs of slowing down. Right. And so the Packers are going to take a quarterback and not just any quarterback, one that a lot of people think is worthy of the first overall pick.

And not only is he not going to go to San Francisco, which is his hometown team, he's going to drop all the way to 24 and Green Bay is going to take him. And he was right. And we were just all blown away and just blown away by just we're actually covering a draft. And now here we are. It's our 22nd one of these.

And I can't wait. We've been talking so much about Aaron Rodgers and this isn't a take or anything coming up, but do you think if he had gone number one, he'd have more than one Super Bowl? I, I don't know how that would have gone.

Like it's such a sliding door moment for the league. Because, again, Alex Smith was, was, was taken by a team that had Mike Nolan as their head coach and they were about to churn through a bunch after Harbaugh. How would Harbaugh have handled Rodgers? How would Rodgers and Harbaugh have vibed?

What about, as you know, nature versus nurture? And we're about to get started on this pod here. But just this quick point about it, that Cam Ward's going to go first overall. And the question is, is Tennessee going to be the right fit for him? And if he struggles in year one, does Tennessee bounce Brian Callahan? And suddenly now he's on a second coach and a second coordinator.

Do they churn through people? Are they going to have the right team around him to nurture him? Or is he just so spectacularly talented?

Doesn't matter. And there's always a combination of those two things that leads to a great career. Mahomes is obviously the most recent example of it. Josh Allen being one to look at as well. So Rodgers going to San Francisco is an interesting thought. Would they have ever drafted Kaepernick? Would they have ever taken him?

Yeah, probably not. So, well, because we're assuming Rodgers would have immediately succeeded in a way that Aaron Alex Smith had not so or did not. So I don't know the answer to that question. You've been talking so much about Rodgers the last few months. I don't know.

But that is just something to keep in mind is where people land. What happens? Sam Darnold, perfect example. He winds up with the Jets. Now he's on his fourth team, finally getting paid closer to 30 than he is to 20. And there's still so many question marks about whether he's good or not. Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff are two other quarterbacks that needed to find a new spot before they actually landed their generational enriching contracts.

So Goff more than Baker. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance, fiscally responsible financial geniuses, monetary magicians.

Yes, sir. It's too quiet. It's too quiet right now. Something insane is going to happen on Thursday, and it could be a star player being traded, but I'm ready for something huge. I think the insane that's going to happen Thursday is right now, if I had to peg it. Because and it's not that insane, but it would be based on the fact that we've been saying the same things over and over again for three, four months, and the mock drafts over the last three, four weeks have been kind of lockstep about this. But number one on my list of crazy things, the first crazy thing to happen on Thursday night would be that number five, Jacksonville does not take Mason Graham, and they do have everybody not named Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, who I'm hearing is going to be a New England patriot.

Mm hmm. And that leaves Jacksonville with a position of doing something not Mason Graham, and that would kind of mess with the order of things, unless you would you consider Jalen Walker, fifth overall being a messing with the order of things? You've heard a lot of speculation about him being in the top 10.

You see him in eight to Caroline. I would just that would just wreck Carolina's world. It would keep Mike has talked about him.

So I mean, does he go for that would be kind of a shock. But right now I'm hearing Will Campbell is your pick. Yeah. Yeah. You keep hearing that.

But I guess there's still a lot of time between now and Thursday. Correct. But in terms of something insane, something insane going to happen would be Chador dropping out of the first round entirely, right, or going third. I think both of those are kind of equally insane.

Well, Chador winding up in New York City third overall after all of this. Right. Would be would be an eye popper because that would reorder things. I think Will Campbell would not be a patriot.

I think Abdul Carter would be right. And then we would see what Jacksonville does. So but I don't I don't know if that's going to happen. I'm not particularly hearing that. You know, Giants are are I mean. We'll talk about we've got Mayock and Todd McShea on the flagship on Monday. And I'm hearing the Giants really like Jackson.

Dart could take him top of round two, which is a reason why Dart's not going to be in Green Bay. Interesting. So put it all together. These are the top rumors I'm hearing going into this week. It's so funny. We're just like we're skating around the surface of so many of these topics here without saying them outright. Let's go to the number one. What would you like me to say? Nothing.

Nothing. I'm going to get to it. I was hoping you just don't want to, you know. OK, keep going. OK, that was a an out of nowhere, awkward moment. No, no, I'm just saying we're just like dancing around stuff.

I'm like, oh, I have the actual topic. Let's just go. Let's blow our powder. You know, I mean, the Titans, which, as you know, number one on the clock breaking news, they're going to take Cameron Ward seemingly right.

Ninety nine point nine percent. I think it's going to happen. I think this is a huge mistake. They should make a deal.

Trade for Kirk Cousins and take Travis Hunter first over. This is not an overreaction. You know how I feel.

You're just spinning the Lord Charles in the zone for me, man, and just hanging it for me to just take it out of the park and have an umpire call a foul, even though Aaron Judge's home run was fair on Sunday. Wait, do we know that? I have yet to see a camera angle where it showed that I'll show it to him. We're off. OK, great. There's two of them.

Interesting. So back to the subject matter hand. It's not the long term answer at quarterback. So if the Tennessee Titans are going to say we want a long term answer at quarterback with a guy with a high ceiling that we know we can coach up and who we know we like and can get along with and in vibes with our our personality. And we don't want to be this high anymore. And this also potentially opens up the fact that we are attached to the hip.

We get a couple more years of runway, blah, blah, blah. That's the reason to do Cam Ward. And I understand, again, Cam Ward going from incarnate word to Washington State to the U and then the U, he doesn't even make the college football playoff when there's 12 teams to actually make it.

That's what kind of undercuts Cam Ward is really he's like no doubt about it. First overall pick of the draft at quarterback, because that's what Andrew Luck was, that's what Trevor Lawrence was. And you can go down the list of first overall drafted quarterbacks. Cam Newton. Right. And these are not the same feelings you get when you see Ward.

Joe Burrell. Right. So we're not the ones in the building. We're not the ones grinding the tape.

We're not the ones who met him. They're not the ones putting our jobs on the line to say we're going to take him. So I just wanted to preface what I'm about to say by saying I understand why they're taking Cam Ward, OK, or why you're doubtful enough to say this is the way they should go. Kirk Cousins is not a long term answer. Kirk Cousins also isn't potentially an answer. We saw what happened in Atlanta last year. Well, I like he wasn't healthy, but I hear what you're saying.

You could say he wasn't healthy or he is flat out degrading in front of our eyes. Both could be true. OK, so. That's why that's a risk.

But I don't think Travis Hunter is a risk at all. He's without a doubt, Daniel Jeremiah, who's going to be on our show Thursday, my my guy who I will be spending an inordinate amount of time with. Yes, sir. Very rarely in the television business do I get to say I'm going to be hanging out with somebody on the air more than you. I know.

OK, we do a lot of TV together. We do. So he came up with his top 150 list. He doesn't do a final mock draft Wednesday. So he kicks off the week with his top. I haven't seen it yet. Is Travis under number one?

It isn't. Absolutely why he should be. He is indeed. He's the best player in this draft. I think he's the safest pick in this draft. I do not doubt it. And as a matter of fact, like I said, you draft two people when you draft him.

Exactly. You fill two positions. I think he's going to be so good. And look, how many quarterbacks have gotten coaches fired in the history of the way we've been doing the draft in the last 20 years? If you miss on this pick, you will be fired. Let me say this to you. I'm so looking forward to Travis Hunter's career. Right.

Oh, me too. And I and I'll repeat this throughout the week, but this first time I'm saying it one day we will potentially because he will be so good that the team that drafts him will not know how to sign him to an ex contract. And there will be no value that you can potentially agree to put on him because there is no one like him.

And there's been no one like him in this era of football either. That there will be a major to do when they slap a franchise tag on him and choose the lower of the two, probably wide receiver will be lower than corner. And he might be like the full on corner, but play enough wide receiver to basically say, oh, yeah, he's a wide receiver. That's the way his career could go.

That's how sure fire I believe that he is. Is so this has to be something that has been discussed in the Tennessee Titans, draft rooms, ownership suites, management offices, whatever you want to call it. But they clearly have gone.

They clearly have decided that's not the way they're going to go. No, but think about something as basic as Jersey sales. I guarantee you, Travis Hunter sells more jerseys next year than Cam Ward. You could also say that you can make up a home Jersey. For the wide receiver version of him and the away Jersey, I mean, for the cornerback version of him, or you're going to have a home in the way anyway, I'm just what you can come up with is an alternate third Travis Hunter Jersey. You know, I don't and that's going to outsell Cam Ward.

I'm just that basic. You knew I would not say this is an overreaction. This is absolutely push back on the cousins. I would push back on that by saying, I understand why you're saying first overall pick, we're going to take the kid that had a knack for comebacks, a knack for throwing off platform, who's got a massive ceiling, exciting player. And if I'm Brian Callahan, I can coach that kid. I got it.

We got this thing. We're not going to take somebody that's a ball dependent and on offense and is somebody that might not get thrown at on defense, even though, as we know, that has a massive, massive halo effect on the rest of your defense. Certainly we already got Lageria Snead on the other side. A corner has never gone number one, right? And we've only seen what one wide receiver, Kishongo first. We've never seen a wide receiver in corner.

It was both right, of course. And now he's only one hundred and eighty eight pounds. And people are telling me he'd be the lightest first overall pick ever. Whatever, whatever, whatever.

Did you watch them play this year? He's sick. I would take him first.

What's next? We've been talking about this team a lot in the last few months because they don't have a quarterback. Well, due respect to Mason Rudolph.

Okay. And they're in this weird place, right? The place that you don't want to be twenty first over twenty first overall, which is a way of saying, look, they're not good enough. We don't know one thinks this deal is going to win the Super Bowl, but they're also not going to miss the playoffs to be bad enough to be able to totally reset their franchise. So the Steelers need to tank in twenty twenty five for a top tier quarterback next year, namely Arch Manning. No, that's absurd. What are you going to get by going ten and seven and losing in the first round of the playoffs this year?

I get it. The quarterback draft is supposedly so deep next year. I mean, and you. So why wouldn't you just roll with Mason Rudolph, go for this man on the screen? By the way, those who are listening, it's Mike Tomlin. You're going to tell this guy to tank.

You think this guy, you could spot him, you could spot him three of the letters in tank and he wouldn't spell it. Well, I think that's a huge organizational failure. You need to bottom out in the NFL to be able to fully rebuild and be great again. The issue here. OK, the issue here is that since Big Ben has left, there has been a flailing. At. Evaluating this position. And that would be my concern here. If I'm in the ownership suite as much as you know, I love Tomlin, you know it.

Of course. OK, and Omar Khan and they draft. Well, I am I am walking around thinking, are we do we not have the right people to recognize who the quarterback needs to be here? You know, they drafted Pickett, which was, I think, a smart play based inside the draft, but again, but that was available, right, right. They drafted a kid who's knows the building, knows the position, knows the position in that building, in that town.

Right. And and give him a shot. And then decide he ain't it. And then go Ross Justin Fields. And then don't really give Justin Fields much of a shot to to develop.

And then go to Ross and. The way it ended was exactly the way that everybody thought it would end, which is poorly, which is we've seen enough. We don't need to see more.

As a matter of fact, we'll let you walk. So now we're going to figure out in this draft who the quarterback is going to be or next draft, who the quarterback is going to be. Because it certainly doesn't appear to be the the the catbird seat when you're going to take back a veteran who you let walk to Tennessee and who you chose Mitchell Trubisky over in his last year before you in in your town, before you handed him a mop towards the end of the season, and then he cleaned it up well enough to actually lead the team to the playoffs or finish the season to get them to the playoffs. And wait for Rogers at age 41 to decide if he wants to take a one year deal. Right.

And then what? You're right back where we are in one or two years. If you are and then you're deep down in the draft, it's entirely possible to find and plus they could take one in the second round, third round this year while the second round, they don't have their pick, but they can take one and see how it works. Tanking is just not happening, bro. You're not you're not looking at you're not looking at Cam Hayward and saying we're tanking. You're not looking at T.J. Watt and saying we're tanking. We're not looking at T.J. Watt.

You get your second round pick back that you lost. I agree. We love Cam Hayward. He's at the end of his career. He's not going to be here for the new quarterback and the new the new regime and the new way of going forward. They need to they need to bottom out and they're never going to. And they're going to be stuck in this purgatory.

And every year we're going to have the same conversations about. Should they fire Tomlin? No, they should. They not. Should they keep it going? So you just go nine and eight and ten and seven. And you're right back where you start. Listen, I understand your general premise is they got to try something else because what's doing what they're doing isn't working for a decade.

I understand it. But what they need to do is find the young kid and stick with them. That's it. They probably gave up on Kenny Pickett too early. Maybe so. Maybe so. I don't know. But again, they know in the building. They know in the building.

So I will I will I will call this an overreaction. The Pittsburgh Steelers do not tank.

Stream next day on Max. Three great topics here. You have possession to start to sell. Excellent. Thank you. Thank you. I choose to receive. Well, actually, you're giving, but it's okay.

Okay, great, sir. The toughest evaluation in this draft issued or Sanders. And I think it's fair to say that because you hear from all the information people and Adam Schefter said today, several GMs don't even have them as a first round grade and then he could go third overall the Giants spent more time at Colorado games, working him out than any other team. So he could go conceivably anywhere from thirty to thirty three.

We have no idea. I think he's going to be drafted by a team that doesn't immediately need him. I think he's going to end up sitting for a lot.

I don't think that's an overreaction. And that would mean that he he gets drafted by a team in the in in the 20s. He gets drafted late first round by a team.

That's good. I think that's kind of what I mean. The ranch could be that team, right? Steelers could be that team. He's going to and I think Tomlin really like, and I think he needs to sit, to be honest, maybe so, and he needs to kind of learn and develop and get those NFL traits because, you know, hear people talk about him. And the only trait that, you know, that really stands out as elite is his toughness, and that's because he got his ass kicked for two seasons.

He sure did at Colorado. So, you know, he can learn and develop and really be a successful quarterback in this league because, like Tom Brady has said it, these guys need to sit and learn and watch the NFL game. And I think Chidor could could really benefit by that.

And guess what? The concept Stephen A. kind of even brought it up when I was on first take last week. The concept that as Dion as LeVar Ball, that you draft Chidor, you're going to get the dead up your ass creating problems, talking about your business publicly. I don't think Dion would have a single problem of Chidor being drafted by a team at the end of the first round and sitting him as long as he thinks that they've got the right plan in place.

Right. And I think Mike T, Mike Tomlin being the coach or Sean McVay, what Dion's going to chime in from Boulder, Colorado, because he's brash. It's absurd.

It's positively absurd. Going to a team like that with stability, there's no threat of the first take topic bar of should Dion just be the coach, which I think could happen if he goes to other places. Which he's never going to. Cleveland, New Orleans, I mean, New Orleans has a new coach. Let's give Kellen Moore a chance. But these other spots, by the way, there's the threat of Dion becoming the head coach. I think Dion would be thrilled if Chidor wound up in New Orleans.

Thrilled. If Chidor was ninth overall, Kellen Moore's first draft choice in New Orleans in a division that is clearly not discussed for right reasons as the toughest division in football. He also, I think he obviously knows that division very well. He knows that rivalry. He knows that New Orleans is a great town for football and for Chidor to go there. I think he'd be thrilled if but again, looking at this through the prism of Dion is something that I was just saying moments ago is not significant in terms of whether he succeeds or not. Because Dion's not going to be a LeVar ball type presence in the program. Well, I mean, LeVar was running his own business, too.

But I guess his son was the employee number one at the time. Listen, Chidor clearly doesn't want to have a long night Thursday night. Nobody does. Absolutely not a soul in this draft that thinks they could have a short night. Wants to have a long night. And certainly doesn't want to have a long night morph into a long overnight wait for a Friday night drafting. That is just we'll ask, we'll love us, right? Geno Smith.

So nobody really wants that at all. And Jalen Milrose going to be in Green Bay. He could have that sort of long night maybe into Friday. That said, ask Lamar Jackson how he's doing. Really ask the two time arguably should have been three time MVP of this league. Ask that guy how good he's doing. Sitting there on top of his stacks for a franchise that loves him so much that he could demand a trade, clown the coach just as he's sitting down at an owner's meeting by hitting send on a tweet saying, I've asked for a trade. Okay. All of that.

That's kind of forgotten. See him and he's clearly with a franchise that with him and with their stability and coach who they just resigned and general manager who knows how to build a team. We'll have Lamar Jackson in a Super Bowl winning position every year for the foreseeable future. Ask him how he's doing after his long first draft night. So that's just my way of front loading by saying this is not an overreaction.

What else you got? You mentioned Lamar Jackson. How was he acquired? The Ravens traded back up into the first round to get him to get a 50 year of contractual control. I think multiple teams will trade up in the first round to take a quarterback. Listen, pal, this is not an overreaction as well. When you see the Friday night order of drafting, having quarterback needy teams first up and you want to have a fifth year of contractual control.

You do indeed. So it's fascinating to me that the lower ten of the first round has a better shot of having somebody knock on the door to trade up than the top ten big time because you look at the lower ten. There are teams that just made the playoffs. There are teams that just had a successful season stability quarterback and stability quarterback, which is why again, the Rams, everyone's thinking they could take one because Stafford is, they got stability quarterback for after two seemingly unstable conversations that wound up with Stafford being. Well, I mean, this was actually last year was a summer.

This year was this year was first up like the new year needed to have this done so there could be some order of events. Seems like another sliding door. What if Stafford had gone to the Giants? Well, dude, this whole draft, the ultimate sliding door is what if Myles Garrett didn't come to terms with the Browns? Oh, man, we were talking about it last week when we played Andrew Berry sound bites on the flagship show about how calm he was. So, yeah, I mean, you know, Travis Hunter's Otani and, you know, I mean, phone calls are different.

It would if we would be off the charts. Nuts about Myles Garrett's on the trading block. He's still pissed. But he would definitely be forcing the issue in the medium. Wisely so. Oh, yeah.

Talk about sliding doors. But this makes complete sense that multiple teams will trade up with Milrose sitting there and Chuck sitting there. And maybe Jackson Dart is sitting there going to the draft. I think is an indication to me that he is going in that late 20s. I don't know. Again, I enjoyed meeting him through our show.

It could also be him just saying, hey, it doesn't matter. I'm drafted. I'm going to take my friends and my family to the draft. This is dream come true stuff.

That's true, too. I'm happy to sit in the green room. Roger Goodell's cheese cubes, you know, to go. Let me just write that down. Roger, you know, the NFL charcuterie board. Good fantasy sitting there.

I mean, why wouldn't you? It's very nice in the green room. Very nice.

Very, very nice in that code. Do we know how is it going to be a super long walk? Remember, Mac Jones walked for like 20 minutes. That's part of our Wednesday rehearsal.

Good. We rehearse the draft choices. And it's some human being sitting in the green room seat as the prospect gets up. And the camera follows this prospect as they put on the hat thing and look in the mirror and make a few moves and then step out and walk out. And we rehearse. Oh, that's awesome, because we have no idea how long it takes.

And these stand ins or walk ins are told to walk slower, walk a little fast. Absolutely. That's great. We do this.

Are they wearing normal clothes or are they? I will let you know on Thursday's show, because Wednesday night is our our NFL network run through. I am excited to hear that. I don't have an answer, but that's your behind the scenes sausage making right there. All right. Last one.

Last one. And you mentioned this kind of in the beginning, that Jacksonville is kind of an unknown, right? They could kind of do something different. Just assuming they're taking Mason Graham and Sharpie that and keep moving on. Right. I think Ashton Gente is going in the top five.

I think he could, too. That's not an overreaction. Best players in the draft, right?

Yeah. Travis Hunter is one. I think this kid is number two. Let me get this out here, because Daniel Jeremiah texted me just the stats from his year last year, nearly three thousand yards.

And then the number two rushing total was Ashton Gente after contact. Here's Daniel Jeremiah's top five players on his draft board. Okay, this is his draft board revealed.

Love it. Number one, overall, Travis Hunter number two. And again, this is not a mock draft.

This is just top players on the board. But talent wise and risk wise and upside and all of it in one medical, everything together top five, like if Daniel Jeremiah, Mr. Scout himself for the Ravens and Eagles back and all these teams, Travis Hunter, one Abdul Carter to number three is Ashton Gente.

There you go. Number four is Mason Graham. And then number five is Jalen Walker. Everybody keep going. Jalen Walker.

Yeah, let's finish the number five. I mean, listen, man, Jalen Walker, I know Mayock who's on the flagship. He says he's got a higher grade on him than he does. Abdul Carter likes him better than Carter. Number six, Tyler Warren. Number seven, Colston Loveland. Interesting out of Michigan. Tight end.

Dude, I'm just telling you, obviously, I covet what I see. Sure. That kid was unbelievable. Eight, there's Cam Ward. OK, Armand Membu is nine and Jada Barron is ten.

OK, so Membu the first tackle. Yeah. According to DJ, it would be.

But I mean, there's system fits and stuff. Of course. Keep going here. Will Campbell, 11. Jihad Campbell, 12. Omarion Hampton, 13.

Interesting. Matthew Golden, 14. Nick Eamonn Warry, 15. I saw him at the combine. I'm like, that is that's a power forward.

Yeah, I don't want to be hit by him. No. Will Johnson out of Michigan, 16. Tyler Booker, the lineman. Pardon me. No, the the inside linebacker. Oh, no, the inside lineman.

Pardon me. Tyler Booker of Alabama, Emeka Ibuka out of Ohio State. I love him. He has him as his top wide receiver, one above 19. Ted McMillan. Second, right. He's mentioned Matthew Golden. Third, pardon me, pardon me.

And then number 20. Here we go. There's Chidor Sanders. OK, right there. So if it goes right down right there for the Steelers to have a chance, if Chidor drops and the Steelers are on the clock, that will be that will be a party on our network. And again, I don't want anybody to drop for or sit here and go, oh, the kid drops. It's great for our ratings or whatever. Now I'm just talking about, again, you know, no, no, you know, I deal in narratives.

That's what I deal in. And once again, long night. So you can do the math if you are 20th. That's like a she's that's like a two and a half hour wait. Right. Ten minutes a pick.

And, you know, these teams take the whole damn thing. So you're right around. You're right around a three hour wait. And maybe there's a trade and then ten more minutes get tacked on.

So three hour wait. And for Chidor sitting at the crib, he's not going to be. He's going to be. He's going to be in Texas.

Right. And telling you, man, this would be a great spot for him up in Pittsburgh is and as Mike Tomlin's handpicked quarterback potentially go against Burrow twice, potentially learning from Lamar twice. And if Rogers still goes, sure, you got a nice year to sit and learn. And whoever Cleveland takes. You know, Chidor could be twice a year throwing at Travis Hunter.

Okay. This is the good stuff. And the Steelers having Chidor Sanders would be great for Chidor Sanders. It would just be a long night for him to get there. Once again, just to bring it all full circle, ask Lamar Jackson how that worked out in particular, Jalen Hurts, ask him how it's working hurts.

The current MVP of the Super Bowl waited two nights. Good stuff. Good stuff. Can't wait. Green Bay, Wisconsin is going to be the site of the Rich Eisen show all this week. Let me tell you our guest list right now.

Do it. I will call it up and it's great. We're very excited about our guest list. Wednesday show, Jamie Udall will be there. She's not there for just good morning football, but she's conducting the on stage interviews for NFL Network, as long as there's someone in the green room.

Meaning, I think she'll have a second night of work. Adam Schefter will be joining us on Wednesday right after him. Brian Gudekunz, the general manager of the Green Bay Packers.

This is all in studio in our studio that we're having there. Awesome. Tom Pelissero and Charles Davis wrap up Wednesday, Thursday. Ian Rappaport, Daniel Jeremiah, the head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Matt Lafleur will join us. And then Kurt Warner, Joel Klatt and WWE superstar and main event winner of WrestleMania 41, Seth Rollins will join us. And we're also adding guests as the lags rolls on.

Good stuff. Christopher, Chris, I'm rich. The next time you'll hear us in this venue will be the Monday after the draft for a post NFL draft edition of an over reaction Monday. But for the Rich Eisen show on Monday, we've got we've got lots to talk about right there with John Beck. The quarterback guru will be in studio. We'll get the last pre draft words from Todd McShay of the ringer and Mike Mayotte from our world and class Campbell will join us with his very husky voice.

He's the nicest giant for Chris. I'm rich. See you later. That's overreaction Monday. Enjoy the NFL draft, everyone. Bravo TV star Lala Kent holds nothing back.
