The NFL scouting combine has wrapped up, and the discussion is heating up about top prospects like Fernando Mendoza and Jeremiah Love. Meanwhile, the quarterback situation in Minnesota is causing intrigue, with the Vikings potentially looking to acquire a veteran backup. Elsewhere, Mike Evans is expected to leave the Buccaneers, and free agency is just around the corner.

Now that the NFL scouting combine is in the books, we hurtle towards free agency, stuff already flying in the National Football League. Chris Brockman, along with Rich Eisen. Good to see you, Chris. How are you? What's up, man?

Congratulations. Another great combine in the books. It is over. We did it. Me just sitting down on a chair.

talking about people running and moving around. I mean It's still quiet in there, man. I gotta say, we went and checked it out on Thursday, and it was kind of like jarringly quiet. Yeah, I know. It's like a lot of library.

Yeah, I know. You're supposed to be quiet, but now there's fans in there too. And. Carson Beck has to work out to booze.

So much went down over the weekend. Overreaction Monday is back. Hit it, hit it. That was terrible. That was crap.

That was garbage. This place sucks. Overreaction. Mondays. Monday.

All right, Christopher, what do you have? Could you imagine you're at your job interview, law firm, doctor, whatever, and there's a boo no. It was crazy. And I almost wanted because the fans in the stands, we'll talk about it on the flagship later on. The fans in the stands.

Uh many of them have are broadcast.

So, I'm legitimately potentially speaking to them if I decided to address them. Like, hey, maybe tell me that I was like, okay, you made your point. And by the way, just check the scoreboard. Yeah, you won. You won the game.

He threw the interception to help you seal it. He's the one who had Ray Lewis come right up to him on the sideline and say, let's go. And he's got to be, he's the one who's got to go back to the bottom. In a weird way, they should have been cheering. They should have been like, hey, thank you.

Dude. All right. That's a lot. What do you got over here? Let's start with this.

And I think I know what you're going to say, but I want to get it out there because it kind of was the story of the first day of the combine, second day of the combine, not one, not two, not three, four. Ohio State players are going to go in the top 10 of the first round. I don't think that's an overreaction at all. Carnell Tate was the one who ran a 4-5-4 twice over. Um, according to all the metrics, now there might have been faster hand times by the scouts, but I don't think there's a single scout on the planet that's going to look at that and go, oh, Well, we got to knock him down a peg or two.

I don't know if you watched it live. On NFL network. No, okay. You might have been running around getting back into real life for yourself. But we had Brandon Bean, the general manager of the Buffalo Bills.

in our booth. as Carnell Tate. ran a 454 for the second time. And he's sitting there between me and Daniel Jeremiah. And as soon as he runs it, he says something to the effect of, man, I would definitely let him fall in the draft if I were, you know, I would definitely start overlooking him, was essentially the general gist of what he had to say.

I love that. And we just laughed because that's the only response you can possibly have. The tape doesn't lie. And, you know, you look at some other people who ran four, fives or above, CeeDee Lamb's one of them. I mean, is anybody sitting here talking about his 40 time?

Is he wide ass open out of it? No, no.

Okay.

So I don't think now Caleb Downs didn't work out, but his. uh conversations Apparently, with teams, we're off the charts. Everyone's raving about him. We had him on our show. He was beyond impressive.

He's already talking like he's a pro. Refused to talk about which teams he's interviewing with because Some kids don't like doing that. They might think it's like uh talking out of school or whatever. Um and I don't think he's falling out of the top ten. Arvel Reese looks like RoboCop.

He's not falling out of the top five. If he does, I think the commander is at seven. That is the lowest he's going to go in this draft, if at all. Then you look at Sonny Stiles and all those mocks of him. Being 12th overall for the Cowboys.

It's up in smoke. Yeah, I saw one Monday morning. I was curious how the mocks would react. And the first one I saw had all four guys going in the top 10. And I was okay.

Right.

Well, I mean, you just have to take a look. It had Tate at 10. The question is: who else goes in the top 10? Mendoza goes in the top 10. Love goes in the top 10.

I think Mauanoa, the left tackle of Miami, goes in the top 10. Right.

Or the tackle from Miami goes in the top 10. I think Yoanne, the guard, the interior guard of. of the uh Penn State Nittany Lions, I think he goes in the top 10. And You know, Bailey, Bailey goes in the top 10. I don't know about Bain.

Bain is an interesting question about his arms, dude. Yeah, I know. And, you know, because nobody with his shortness of his arms. Right.

Um Has been a top 10 pick. No one with the shortness of his arms has been a double-digit sack guy. I mean, so shortness of his arms. for his position. Uh uh that one is kind of up in the air.

I don't think this is an overreaction. Even though the only other time it's happened in the common draft was 1967, as I mentioned on the show on Friday, when Michigan State, with Bubba Smith going first overall, many people might remember him from Police Academy movies and the Miller Light commercials with John Madden back in the day. He led the pack first overall. Four Michigan State Spartans went in the top 10. That's it.

So I think we might see a record. I really do. I really think that's a good question. All right, let's talk about who's going first. Fernando Mendoza.

He didn't work out, obviously. Super impressive, though, when he did speak, mentioned Tom Brady. Fernando Mendoza is going to have a better statistical rookie season Then Tom Brady's 2001 year, his first year starter. That's 64% completions, 2,900 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, 12 picks. Um interesting.

I'll just say, sure, why not? I mean, it's just a bigger passing league now than it was then. Just really is. I mean, and you know, you say statistical because obviously Tom Brady won the Super Bowl in 2001. Don't think Mendoza is going to do that.

But I think, you know, as far as stats-wise, super impressive. They're built kind of the same: 6'5, 230. Maybe Tom's not that heavy, but I kind of like this guy, and I think he's gonna be a star. Raiders have lots of weapons. Bowers, I hear you.

Okay, I hear you. You know, Brady didn't have anybody like Brock Bowers. Definitely not. Did you see Mendoza said a team told him to get arrested so he could drop? I got to say, I'm sure that was tongue-in-cheek.

I thought that was hilarious. I think that's super funny. He said that some team said, you know, you should get arrested. It's the same with Brandon Beans. Like, yeah, that 4'5-4.

I wouldn't draft Carnell Tate if I were you. You know, I was there at 26. You know, I'd love to get Carnell Tate fighting. For Josh Allen. Maybe he wouldn't do it on the record.

Maybe if you call a Raider game this year, Rich, try to get that information. I want to know what team has a good enough sense of humor to tell him that. I don't deny it. I mean, just the mere fact that in this day and age, passing stats are through the roof. And I certainly hope, you know, for this kid and the Raiders fans that he is.

Everything as advertised, and he is as advertised. There was that moment when he. And I knew it was coming. I mentioned it on my uh on the top five. List of workouts that I was most eager to see at the Combine, that Mendoza was my one more, even though I knew he wasn't working out because I knew when he would walk into the arena.

That all the fans that were there, 15,000 fans came on Saturday. They were all the ones who were booing Carson Beck, were the ones who were excited to just get a glimpse of Mendoza. And there was a 40-yard dash being run by a wideout in the group before his. And as soon as he came out, and I think this is the photograph, those who are watching are our overreaction Monday. podcast on YouTube.

I believe this was the moment where he came out and he sat with a couple of His fellow group nine mates. And There was this massive applause, massive. Ovation for him. And we were just wondering what's happening. And, you know, our producer, Mark Teitelman, team man, gets in my ear, goes, Mendoza just walked in and they got a shot of him just sitting down.

And he's just like waving, you know, like he's a beetle, Terry. Honestly, and I think Raiders fans are going to fall in love with him just because of that and everything that he says, everything that he does, the way that he holds himself.

So you put it all together. I can't imagine we don't have this happening. I mean, obviously, anything can happen where he has an injury march season or whatever. I mean, I don't think Cam Hardpiece does. I mean, those numbers are attainable.

What else you got to do?

Okay.

Obviously, Mendoza didn't work out. And kind of being there on Thursday and throughout the weekend, a lot of guys didn't. It was kind of drawing the number of guys who are, you know, they're reading the list of guys who aren't working out. Obviously, saving it for the pro day. I think we need to come together collectively and figure something out so the combine becomes the place where guys work out.

College pro days should only be for players not invited to the combine. Oh, that's r no, that's not happening. That's not the question. This is not an overreaction, right? It is an overreaction.

Let me just give you numbers to back up what you're saying, first of all. Um Of the 320 players invited to the NFL scouting combine this year. Only 189 ran the city. That's the fewest at an NFL combine ever. The previous low was last year 201.

So there's fewer who did it this year than last year's low, previous low.

So yes, that is an issue. Secondly, for the broadcast, to be honest with you, it goes faster. Things go faster at the combine when fewer people run. There are some people who aren't running because they know they're going to run slow. They're dinged up.

They're this, they're that. They had a long season now in college football. you know, uh, if I'm not mistaken, um, I think next year's national championship game is is January 20 something. Because the same reason why the NFL Super Bowl is on Valentine's Day, because of Labor Day being late in the calendar year, everything's pushed deeper.

So you've got players who have longer college seasons. And and they have longer Rehabs for injuries, or at least injuries that occur later in the season.

So there's that. But I truly feel the incentive to run at the combine still is there. to be a aired on NFL network. And B, every single coach. or general manager that came to our booth.

when we were off camera. And I think a couple said it on camera too. That We were talking about, gee, do you see how fast everybody is out there? And they would say, yeah, if I'm the agent. I would say run at the combine because that's the fastest track.

On planet Earth.

Some of these turfs. Are on grass for your pro day.

Some of the turf. Could be, you know. Loose.

Some could be on a rainy day.

Some could be a day after a rainy day. Here you're on. You know, the home sideline of the Indianapolis Colts. Where by day three, day four. That thing is tamped down.

Like, that thing is hard as a rock. That thing, you can burn on it. And a lot of the official times got knocked down by one one-thousandth of a second. And so. I think at the end of the day, if you're going to run your 40, you should do it at the combine.

And then don't do anything else if you don't want to. Like that, Carnell Tate did that. He ran the 40 and then nothing else. Because some of the drills you might. You might, you know, get dinged up here, get dinged up there.

Anything can happen. when you're working out. But to basically say college pro day should only be for anybody that wasn't invited to the NFL scouting combine, there are some times when you're not. Uh, able to perform at the Combine. The pro days are there for that.

The pro days are there for the scouts. Everything that I understand that we're viewing the combine as a television event. Look who you're talking to. Sure, sure. Obviously, it's well, then, as I mentioned to the NFL network group, you know, before going on the air, just we were all talking about it.

Like this is the proudest achievement I think NFL Network has ever created. Which is the combine. Everything else that we've done for NFL Network or with NFL Network is in support. Of an event that already existed, or adding another option for your viewing pleasure for an event that's already existed. The combine is something we helped create out of whole cloth as a television event.

So I'm very proud that it's a television event. I know we're viewing it as such, but at the end of the day, the combine is for interviews between players and their prospective employers. It's for a medical evaluation that is a crucial component for whether someone gets drafted here or there, a measurement component, whether somebody gets drafted here or there. And at the end of the day, the workouts are televised because we're all keenly interested in just wondering how our team's going to get better. That's the beautiful part about the NFL and how its popularity keeps exploding is the level of interest.

So at the end of the day, college pro days are going to be there for people like Fernando Mendoza, who's like, you know what? If I'm going to do any workouts, I want to do it for some guys who aren't drafted at the, you know, who are invited to the combine. I want to be there with my guys and throwing to my guys because it's also better for him to do that rather than how you're going to throw to a certain spot. And a receiver you've never thrown to in your life isn't going to be there at the right time, and your ball suddenly looks like it's a misthrow. Which, by the way, scouts always say they can tell the difference.

That said, I'll just call this an overreaction. And appreciate your trying to support this as a television event, but ask you to move on. All right. All right. As you know, managing maintenance, repair and operations is never easy.

An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. Being placed under arrest, we had a killer amongst us.

Murderer at the U. Listen now. All right, competition, comps, player comps. That's what kind of this period is about right now. This guy, you mentioned the speed.

He was blistering in his 40. We talked to him. Jeremiah, I love this kid is awesome. And you know what? He's going to have a better 2026 season than last year's touted top 10 running back, Ashton.

I was just talking about. And I got to say, Ashton Genty's rookie year kind of gets a bad rap. 1,321 total yards, nearly 1,000 rushing, 55 catches, 10 total touchdowns. Those are big numbers. I'm going to say this, okay?

I was just thinking about that. We're talking about it with Coop this morning. And I drafted Ashton Genti in fantasy. I mean, and I dunno every week I could. And I regretted it.

I regretted it almost every week. And again, it wasn't like I popped it up. I'm not. Denigrating his talent.

Okay.

Anybody will tell you the number of times that he got hit behind the line of scrimmage, you lose track. It was every single time it was. It was just terrible. And obviously. Um Chip Kelly was an awful fit with a head coach that I'm sure laments many of his choices at the end of the day, looking back.

Okay.

But at the at the Eyesight Just looking at his abilities, his size and his abilities. and doing it for Notre Dame. Makes me think differently about Jeremiah Love if I have him in a fantasy draft. I just love talking to him. I love, he's just like, yeah, I'm talking mess about USC.

I'm talking mess to anybody. Big trash talker. You know, I love, you know, vaulting people. That was his favorite thing about his. About playing running back.

He said, I'll play gunner on special teams. I think he really meant it. He wanted to play special teams. Like, bro, you are not going to be out there on punt coverage. That's what I basically told him, right?

Um so he is Something else. And he's six foot. Genty's five and a half and an eighth. He's five, eight and a half. Yep.

Okay.

He's got Genty by a pound. Um his hand size is smaller. His arm length His arm length, he's got Agenti by almost three inches. And so you take a look at Genti Robinson and Jameer Gibbs are the last three running backs selected in the top 16. of an NFL draft.

Um and and his measurables are are up there actually with uh Robinson. With Bijan more than any of the other Three that I just mentioned. He's got to be taller than B. The only Notre Dame running back in the common draft era to be selected in the top 10 picks of the NFL draft is Jerome Bettis. Obviously, Bettis had him in wait.

and in hand, but he's he's taller than Jerome. His 4.3640 is the best 40-yard dash by a combine running back at least six inches tall. Since 2003, the others didn't do much in their careers at all. Mike Washington Jr., who's the Is the fastest. He's a combine mate of his.

The others are Darren McFadden. There's one. Isaac Garendo is the other. But his 40-time, loves 40-time. Here's the comparison.

It's crazy fast. 4.36. It's the same as Jameer Gibbs. And it's faster than Jamal Charles, Kenneth Walker, and Jonathan Taylor. That's all you need to know.

So you bet. Um I don't think this is an overreaction by any stretch of the imagination. I don't think Jeremiah loves getting out of the top five. How about that? Oh, Rich Eisen.

I like that. How about that? I mean, I don't know. I would, if I'm the Titans, I look at him and go, I think if you're Tennessee, yeah, yeah. And if you're the Giants, you got to sit here and think to yourself: how about this as a one-two punch with Scatterboo?

That Scataboo's not a 25-carry guy, I don't think.

Well, now he'd have to change kind of his mindset on that.

Well, he's not going to be. Jackson Thart isn't either. You already hear how he's talking coming out of the. Coming out of the season, about how I'm not changing my style. I'm always going to go for first downs and whatever.

The Giants have got to think about it. That's for sure. What else you got over there? Let's talk about another couple of guys who helped their, I got to say, first-round draft stock after these stellar combine performances. Tight ends, Rich, Kenyon Sadiq, Eli Stowers.

They're going in the top 20. Both. Yeah. Their top 20 talents. These guys put on a show.

They did. They did. I mean, Kenyon Sadiq had the best workout at tight end I've seen since Vernon Davis. I mean, that's, as you know, is the gold, gold standard of tight end workouts. Um and Stowers, um he he he was terrific as well.

Again, when you say this sort of thing, you have to take a look at who else is available. And pass rush is so crucial, and pass protection is so crucial that whoever is at the top end of those flowcharts.

Okay, whoever's at the top end of those lists of candidates. to draft are going to go. They're going to go fast. And some teams might even trade into the top 20 because they really covet one of them. And then you've got back end people.

The corners. You want to get a top corner, or you want to get a top tight end? These are choices that teams make. True.

So to say top twenty for both of them when there's Bailey and Reese and Styles and there's Downs and there's Tate and there's a handful of other receivers And then there's a handful of other linemen defenders and corners and safeties who are going crazy, in addition to Sonny Styles. I'll call this an overreaction, that it'll be really tough. I mean, one of them I can see. Both of them Is particularly bold. And by the way, how about I kind of gave you an overreaction topic by saying Jeremiah Love?

You did. Whoa, you almost got jealous. Like, how did you not think of that yourself? I know. I went with stats instead of draft spot.

That's not a bad one. I mean, it's not a bad one, but you know. That's good. I'm going to backpocket that later on. Back pocketed.

Because, I mean, we're going to be talking about this on Overreaction Monday all the way to Pittsburgh. For sure. But if you're Tennessee, you've got to sit there and think, Jeremiah Love, man, I. We can get him here. And we can get him next to Cam Ward, and off we go and run the ball and play defense for your new coach.

That might happen. I just like that, you know, this first round was seemingly lacking buzz, and then post-combine, here we are. You know, these guys had such great workouts, speed. And you're like, all right, this first round's got some juice now. Right.

That's nice to see. We know who the first quarterback is. Mendoza is going to be first off the board, Rich. A lot of talk about the second quarterback, probably going to be Ty Simpson from Alabama. I agree.

And I also think he's going to go in the first round and he's going to be starting week one for whoever takes it.

Now that's a bold prediction there. That's an overreaction. That's one. I'll be honest. I'm not.

I'm not, you know, Jordan Palmer or Yeah. Any I'm not Jason You know, back. I'm not any of these guys. Right.

I'm. I'm um I'm not a throwing coach by trade. But I could see how a ball spins and I could see how it jumps out of somebody's hands. And I thought Ty Simpson had a very nice workout on Saturday. I think he did.

Um, he's got a his facial features are very Delomian, don't you think? Delomian? I was gonna say him, he could be Garoppolo's cousin.

Okay, I gotcha. He's got good flow, good cheekbones. But Ty Simpson really had a a good Workout. I thought. I thought Carson Beck looked pretty darn good as well.

But I mean, Simpson looks the part. He's got the the the whole package. You just got to sit here and wonder what happened at Alabama. You know, what what Why can't a quarterback with a talent level that's potentially five stars? Yeah, like that might be the coach, that might just be the SEC being down.

By the way. With the Big Ten winning three straight, Big Ten. I don't know, but teams are going to have to sort it out. A first round draft choice is still a tall order. Daniel Jeremiah, you know, said on our show the last two weeks.

that he can't find a partner. He can't find the trade partner. He can't find the team with the need. You know, and there's two teams with a supposed need. you know stealers If you think Will Howard's not a guy in waiting.

Or if you think Rodgers isn't coming back.

Well, and the other one is the Rams, who's. at some point maybe going to get the next Stafford. Um when they identify him. But if you're The Steelers, and you're the Rams, and you've got Rodgers, and you've got Stafford. Get them some help for now.

Yeah, that's the way you draft. Yeah. You use this. this first round choice, certainly the one for the Rams. That's not their own, the one they got from Atlanta that's in the middle of the first round.

You could get yourself, I mean, everybody that we just mentioned. In the first, you know, in the beginnings and throughout this entire pod. That might force one of those tight ends, for instance, to be out of the top 20. The Rams can get themselves a really good defensive football player. And So I don't know where Simpson's gonna land, let alone get a week one start.

you know It's crazy that Jimmy Garoppolo might have a week one start instead of Ty Simpson. Hold on to that for a while. You know, because apparently the Cardinals are interested with Mike LaFleur coming from the Rams staff. But yeah, I'll just call that an overreaction, ask you to move on. What else you got?

All right, let's talk some quarterbacks here. A lot of talk in Indy about what's going on with the Vikings, who they might be interested in, what type of situation that is. I think the Vikings quarterback situation. is the most intriguing storyline of this entire offseason. Yeah, because you don't know what it is.

You don't know what it is. One giant shrug emotion. You don't know what it is, okay? Is it lack of belief in J.J. McCarthy?

Is it lack? Of a veteran presence that they definitely need because McCarthy might not answer the bell. last year. They were left shorthanded 'cause Carson Wentz Didn't survive. The first few weeks of the season.

By the way, Another reason why J.J. McCarthy was not available, and at times might have had difficulty. In his first few starts as a quarterback in the NFL, is the pass protection and the run blocking. behind an injured offensive line. Um That took down Wentz also might be part of the evaluation of J.J.

McCarthy. Oh, and also, was McCarthy soft-benched? He had a kid. There's like the Darnold of it all kind of factoring in the skinning over all of it. And then there's the way that he got memed because he was named himself, and you're wondering what's going on in his head.

Um he's You know, let me look this up. I think he's 22. He's one of the youngest players, you know what I mean, in the league, right? And so. This is the coach in Kevin O'Connell who came on this show.

He's 23. He will be uh he just turned 23 in January. This is the coach who came on our flagship show and said. that organizations fail young quarterbacks before the other way around.

So You know, and everything I heard at the Kanban is they still believe in him.

So if they get Geno Smith, which is a quarterback that. Should be out there to go acquire or sign that you are saying we have a much better veteran. Backup plan if J.J. McCarthy doesn't physically answer the bell. We have a much better plan because he's going to be in our system all.

Season long, all off-season long, as opposed to last year. Right.

when Carson Wentz was acquired practically at the last minute. You've got a better Setup. 100%. J.J. McCarthy is our starter.

He is our first weak guy. Unless you're going to say Let the best man win in a competition. They feel that's best for J.J. McCarthy, or do they feel like they don't believe in him?

So yeah. You want to talk about intriguing storylines? This one's up there. I don't know how. How you can you know, compare it to anybody else.

If they get Kyler Murray, That's a totally different story because Murray, I don't think, is going to go anywhere to be a backup, right? I don't think he's going to do that. Same thing with Tua as well. But Geno Smith is, you know, a veteran towards the back nine here. And he might also want to be that guy.

All right, am I back nine? I'll go. To the Minnesota system, I'll be that guy, and I'm definitely going to get some starts if McCarthy's not going to. Not going to answer the bell. That might be a good spot for him, potentially.

Um I don't know. How it's all going to shake out. But there's no other storyline in the NFL that has a 23-year-old quarterback who. started for the first time. uh two years into his career last year And the guy who started in his first year because he couldn't answer the bell physically.

He wins 14 games, then goes somewhere else and wins the Super Bowl, putting pressure on the decision makers who basically set this whole thing up from the minute they traded up for J.J. McCarthy without knowing what they've been creating for themselves at the time. And adding another quarterback. who is famous for doing something. for some other team.

as anybody else that could be acquired in the offseason and adding him to that mix. I don't know of another storyline that's as intriguing as that.

So I'll buy it. What else you got? All right, two more, Rich. You mentioned the handsome man, Jimmy G. He's going to have the Cardinals over 500 next year.

Hmm. If he goes to the Cardinals? Yeah. All right. I'll just call that an overreaction and ask you to move on.

Really? Just flat-out dismissal. I'm not dismissing it. I'm just like, he's not there yet. You're like front-loading, you're front-loading the.

Listen, I want this to be right in the worst way because Cooper's buddy Luke said that Jimmy G is going to have a starter's job next year. And he also said that one of them also said that Brees Hall was going to be a cardinal and lead the league in Russia.

So both things happen. That would be incredible. I'll take one of them. Just that any of the hot takes that I acquired from the Cooper's friends as I drove him to top golf on his birthday would be great if it's right. Yeah, the Michael Floor connection.

I mean, they've got good receivers. Receivers. Sure. And Jake Brisket was moving the offense all over the place. Yeah.

Um Jimmy G still left. What else you got one more? All right, last one. Free agency is going to hit soon, and one of the big names out there is Mike Evans. Doesn't seem like he's going to be back in Tampa.

I'm going to say Mike Evans is going to go further in the playoffs next year than the Bucs. You don't even know where he's going yet, huh? He's going to go to a contender. Mike Evans. Why is he down from the Bucs?

Because they don't want to pay him. Is that what it is? They don't want to pay him, and they've got a lot of good weapons there. Yeah, but you got to let Amir Abuka run free. I know Ameka.

You know what I mean? Omeka almost like full-grown. He's. He's really good, and Godwin, when he's got a fact fully helped it, and all those young jobs running all over the place. But this guy, even with his annual I have to miss four to six weeks injury, but I'm still going to get a thousand yards?

Yeah, he almost did. He almost did. Come on, man. Mike Evans wants one more shot at a ring. Don't think no-no of Tampa's the spot for it next season.

Is Kansas City the spot? I mean, how many years have we basically said that Mike Evans should go to Kansas City?

Well, is Buffalo. Buffalo would be a good one. Buffalo would be a really good one. My gosh, Mike Evans. With Josh and Allen would be great.

It would be like 15 touchdowns, book it.

So, sure. I'll say that's not an overreaction because if he's going to go ring chase, I think what he is, I will buy that. But you front loaded a couple of things. And before we head out, during this show, David Montgomery was traded to the Texans.

Okay.

So that whole business of him doesn't want to be there. He doesn't. He does want to be there. I guess at the end of the day, it didn't matter. They flip them to that's kind of fun.

I'll tell you, that's a great mix, man. That's kind of fun. Yeah, you could play that Joe Mixon role, right? Big time. With Woody Marks.

That's a nice one-two punch right there with a newspaper. Texas get a nice piece.

So things are already happening. Things are already happening. And we're one week away from the two-day. Window of tampering. Don't call the tampering windows open.

Negotiations.

So, for Chris, I'm Rich. Stay tuned to the flagship show for so much on Overreaction Monday and more with the newly gear and free agency hits. Thank you for taking in this show, and thank you for taking in our show all last week from Indianapolis at the Scouting Combine. Uh I'm not sure if I can do it.
