That's Z-A-C-H G-E-L-B. I got Stuart Kovacs. I got Carlos with a K. Carlos Ortiz rocking and rolling with me all the way up until 6 p.m eastern 3 p.m pacific today. We are a day away from the 2024 NFL draft with the first round beginning tomorrow evening. We will have three prospects join us today coming up 20 minutes from now. Edge rusher out of Alabama. Dallas Turner will stop by. Joe Alt the offense alignment out of Notre Dame projected to go in the first seven picks of the draft. He's going to swing by at 4 p.m eastern 1 p.m pacific and then the final hour of the show Brian Thomas Jr. the excellent wide receiver out of LSU. I know we've talked a lot about Jaden Daniels and Malik Nabors. Brian Thomas Jr. I will be surprised if he's not selected in the first 20 picks.

Probably he will go in the top 15 as well and obviously it is a Winkler Wednesday so Bart Winkler will stop by at 4 40 p.m eastern time today. I'll get to some of this Brandon Aiyuk trade speculation in just a second. However, as we are a day away from the draft and everyone has their mock draft and everyone gives you their thoughts and opinions, I truly do believe when you examine the first six picks that this will go either one of two ways. Option one bears Caleb Williams, commander Jaden Daniels, Patriots Drake May at three, Cardinals taking Marvin Harrison Jr. at four, trade up Vikings move with the Chargers and Minnesota lands JJ McCarthy and then the Giants take Malik Nabors at six. That's option one.

Option two and I think you'll see something here from option one to option two the first four picks are the same. Caleb Williams one, Jaden Daniels two, Drake May three, Marvin Harrison Jr. four and then Chargers don't pull the trigger on a trade. Someone does not jump the Giants to go get a quarterback. Malik Nabors goes to the Chargers and then the Giants ends up taking JJ McCarthy. That's what I think right now and I do find it funny. Here's a big difference between Samter and Carlos when we work with either one and obviously Samter's here usually five days a week but he's on vacation today. Carlos, he wears his emotions on his sleeves where Samter, you could just tell he's annoyed but he won't react to what you say. Carlos like like word for word imitates my intro that we do and then when I was going through option one Carlos like looked around he was like yeah I'm good I'm good with what Zach said Malik Nabors to the New York football Giants and then when I read option two and I said JJ McCarthy Carlos just went oh my god no oh terrible that was accurate so you said very low by the way you kind of look like Samter geez why do you sit so low to the ground well first of all you're a big guy you're a tall guy proper representation for Mike who's not here but as well as I think I've explained this before I like a low center of gravity in case I need to be able to uppercut somebody through that door I thought it was just because you were a larger fella and sometimes we don't have the best chairs here and I've been in some of those chairs but where you sit in the chair and then all of a sudden it's the humiliation of just the chair going which I have been through plenty of times in the morning but I like this chair but that's where I'm at right now where I fully believe the first four picks Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake May and Marvin Harrison Jr after that though that's where I think it gets very fun in this quest for someone to try to jump the Giants to go make sure that there are four quarterbacks off the board now the Patriots and the Cardinals could be players in trading back but I don't really think unless there is this crazy type of offer which maybe it comes together in the next 24 hours when teams start to get really serious I still believe that the Patriots are taking a quarterback and I don't believe the Cardinals are trading back two years in a row so that Chargers spot is a prime spot where I could see the Chargers definitely trading the pick or I could see the Chargers taking the next best player available which in option two was Malik Nabors before I get to Brandon Ayuk though and talk about a team that needs to trade for him I'm just wondering Carlos you representing the giant fan and on a national landscape probably the most polarizing prospect in this draft is JJ McCarthy yep you have a lot of people that are in the know whether it's GMs or scouts raving about JJ McCarthy and then it's the public it's us who are saying and don't really love JJ like my team needs a quarterback and I've said this before I believe Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels are the two best quarterbacks in this draft class and the next tier of guys if you're saying someone that has the best chance of being elite it's Drake May now Drake May I think it depends where he goes if he plays right away I don't feel good about him reaching his potential like Drake May goes to the Patriots I don't think Drake May should be on the field in year one Drake May goes to the Giants you know day ball with what he did with Josh Allen could make sense but you throw Daniel Jones to the wolves for one more season for one more season you don't play him right away he goes to the Vikings I think it's tough to make him sit but they have enough around him where even if he's not NFL ready yet he should be able to succeed when you have Aaron Jones when you have Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison you know McCarthy I think the fit is the biggest part he goes to the Giants he goes to the Patriots I'll be surprised if JJ McCarthy is a very good pro he goes to the Vikings though I think JJ McCarthy could have a very good career Michael Penix Jr I think fit is big for him too he had the two big wide receivers at Washington so the Giants draft to Michael Penix Jr the Patriots to Michael Penix Jr I don't feel great about it he goes to Minnesota though we know he is pro ready he should be able to have success especially with the deep ball ability that they have there and he's the best deep ball throw out of this class because of the wide receivers that you have too so I'm just wondering since I don't despise JJ McCarthy I love JJ McCarthy in college obviously being a Michigan guy I look at JJ and I just think his ceiling is a good quarterback at best but you being at six your team not having an answer at quarterback because Daniel Jones is not the dude and he's too banged up he suffered way too many injuries and we know the Giants want to move on from him eventually in due time like this is gonna be here's the hot take of the day this is gonna be Daniel Jones's last year on the Giants so you having a team that needs a quarterback and look like you're about to scream and curse me out for saying JJ McCarthy possibly to the Giants at six you give me the argument Carlos why you aren't a JJ McCarthy guy you already had it in your explanation JJ McCarthy ceiling is good we have that already we are Daniel Jones is good no but but we've seen what we can see already in three years of Daniel Jones coming out of Duke people weren't in love with his ceiling and his prospects when they traded up they thought Daniel Jones at six was a reach when they drafted him last year so it's just history repeating itself at no point that most Giants fans last year look at JJ McCarthy and think he was the sixth best prospect in all of college not even the fourth quarterback but sixth best player period so to me and a lot of fellow Giants fans who had to sit through Daniel Jones getting paid off of his best season which was 15 touchdowns we would just be watching the same rehearsed thing of JJ McCarthy coming in and at best being a serviceable quarterback Giants fans are sick of quarterbacks that fit the the mold of a Giants guy of someone who can just you know not screw it up you need a quarterback that's going to be a franchise game changer there's teams that have him and the Giants have not had that since Eli and even Eli wasn't that guy yeah and Eli won you two championships so that's why Eli's gonna get into the Hall of Fame but I don't ever think a lot of Giants fans who tried to run Eli Manning out of town ever thought that they had one of the top three quarterbacks in the sport and at least you're in the NFC where there's a lot of question marks at the quarterback position but if you're an AFC team I think your argument plays even more of a factor where you think a guy just could be good and not great you better have like a team like the 49ers around him for someone like a Brock Purdy who I think is very good but obviously benefits with the talent around him Brock Purdy showed a lot of good things this past year but in the AFC you know for the foreseeable future Mahomes ain't going anywhere Joe Burrow as long as he stays healthy isn't going anywhere and Josh Allen's still there and you have the development and the year one breakout stardom of CJ shroud too so and and who knows what Herbert like I think Herbert's gonna be really good for a long time Rogers is still in the AFC for two years so that's the tricky part that I think a lot of fans are in where you don't want to just take a quarterback to take a quarterback but you need a quarterback in this league and you know the guy on your roster isn't the guy so yes you may be drafting guy that you may say hmm I don't know if he's great or maybe he's just good but there's a lot of times where us as fans we've been terrible more times than not we are more wrong than right in evaluating these quarterbacks and you're kind of damned if you do damned if you don't because if you don't then it's like okay it's another punted season with Daniel Jones going out there but if you do then you have the flip of the coin where it could work or it may not work finding a quarterback it's the toughest thing to do in sports so I gave you how I thought two options had the first six picks are going to play out I remember a few years ago you had AJ Brown who wasn't getting a long-term contract in Tennessee and then on draft night we're sitting there in the first round and Tennessee trades AJ Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles and they gave them back a first round pick I don't know if that happens tomorrow I do I would feel comfortable if I'm a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers giving up pick 20 for Brandon Aiyuk and paying him but Brandon Aiyuk may end up getting traded for a second round pick and I understand he played last year like he was a first round wide receiver with 1400 yards and you could say he benefited the system but he's still balled out you know it does make it easier when teams are more focused on McCaffrey and Deebo when you prepare for the 49ers but I look at Brandon Aiyuk as a bona fide number one wide receiver in the league like Brandon Aiyuk compared to Deebo Samuel Deebo Samuel is the better all-around player but from a receiving standpoint Brandon Aiyuk is a better receiver than Deebo Samuel and I know that the 49ers kind of pooh-poohed the whole thing that they're not trading Brandon Aiyuk but Brandon Aiyuk keeps on stirring the pot on social media he clearly wants a new contract and if he is going to get traded I think it happens either tomorrow or on Friday at the absolute latest and a team like the Steelers who right there's been flirtations before they should absolutely pounce because look at the Steelers right now they have a solid team they got a great defense on offense Justin Fields is the backup right now Russell Wilson will be the starter you have George Pickens you got rid of Deontay Johnson with him getting traded to the Panthers you still have Pat Fryer mute the tight end you got Najee Harris and you got Jalen Warren you go add though Brandon Aiyuk for a first or a second round pick and you could put Brandon Aiyuk George Pickens one-two punch with the complementary other pieces in your backfield being the two running backs and Harris and Warren and then Fryer Muth is tight end like that's more than enough for Justin Fields or Russell Wilson to have an abundance of success even in a tough division and a tough conference in the year of 2024 and let's be real the Steelers offense has been trash for a while and whenever the defense is humming the offense is just inefficient whenever the offense is humming the defense thinks you have a chance this weekend and this week to close the gap from where the defense is and to where the offense is and I don't want to say make them equal but make them close to equal so that's why I look at a team like the 49ers and I don't think they should trade Brandon Aiyuk but business may make them trade him like I personally for the Bengals and the 49ers even if you're not going to re-sign T Higgins and Brandon Aiyuk long term I keep them for this year because you're all in to win a Super Bowl and you have a legitimate chance to win a Super Bowl but if you say to yourself you want to pick up a first or pick up a second and you know you're not going to give a long-term contract then teams like the Steelers need to come calling the Patriots who need a wide receiver need to come calling I know Indianapolis just paid Michael uh uh the wide receiver uh well why can't I think of his name right now out of USC Michael Pittman Jr but they could use another piece for a young quarterback in Anthony Richardson the Bills we think they're going to go get their wide receiver via via the draft but what happens if like Buffalo ends up trading for Brandon Aiyuk that would be awesome and then I saw the Lions give two deals today to Penacul and Amman Ross St. Brown maybe that motivates the Packers who do have Dobbs and Watson to maybe go get a piece as well for their young quarterback in Jordan Love so Steelers Steelers Steelers that's something I'm watching can they find a way on Thursday or Friday to execute a trade for Brandon Aiyuk 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27 this is that Gelb show on the Infinity Sports

trusted png brands like old spice to help them be ready for anything as they begin their pro careers we know the nfl draft comes your way tomorrow evening and some of that will hear their name in the first round out of alabama is dallas turner and he's kind enough to join us right now on the zach geld show on the infinity sports network dallas appreciate the time thanks so much how you been man i'm blessed and thankful thanks for having me well we appreciate you jumping on board with us so a lot of people are going to tell me how you should be used at the next level i know that you'll be willing to do whatever a team tells you but how do you think you should best be used as a edge rusher in the nfl i mean you said it probably rushing the quarterback would probably be you know the most prominent thing but you know i still gotta be a football player in the day we all know that it's an adjustment going from college to the nfl what kind of immediate impact do you think you could bring to whatever team calls your name uh coming up tomorrow evening i think we're uh dallas can you still hear us i'm here the immediate impact what do you think you could bring to a team right away uh to the nfl well i could definitely bring the energy you know the energy to the team you know i could definitely bring a good positive mindset into the locker room but really just uh the football mindset you know just being all about ball you know just willing to work hard and just you know just so uh you know really just inspire the guys you know hopefully be inspired by my teammates you know to be better every day so we know that a lot of guys come from alabama they end up having successful careers dallas turner we just saw recently will anderson have a very successful rookie season when you were with will together at alabama where'd you able to learn from him it was i learned a lot more from will from his mindset and how he carries himself from his practice habits to his treatment regiments to you know even the time he even goes to sleep at night so like really just about how serious he took the game and how dedicated he was on and off the field to take care of his body you know really just to give him back to the game stuff like that so i'll probably say that for sure yeah he was an incredible leader you know it's rare where you see a rookie be able to be a captain on an nfl team and that's what uh he had the honor bestowed on him last year how do you kind of describe your leadership capabilities because hey you go in the top 10 people not only expect you to dominate on the field but then also be a leader on and off the field yeah for sure i mean you know uh being around the great leaders i've been around the university of alabama like you know like bryce young will hinterston jordan battle uh harry toto just to name a few uh you know i kind of know what it takes to be a leader in a way you know i kind of know the responsibility that come with that and i kind of know how to do it in a way so you know being named captain myself last year so you know it'll definitely be a good opportunity you know to go into the organization you know and just pushing god in the right direction also even though i'm going to be doing stuff like that you know still bring good energy to the team you know i'm still going to be positive to my guys and stuff so dallas turner is my guest you know a year ago everyone was talking about bryce young and we all know he was the number one overall pick and this year didn't go the way that him or the panthers wanted it to go what do you say to people that are doubting if bryce young could still be a great nfl quarterback tell him keep doubting tell him keep down for sure but no bryce everything oh bryce bryce bryce is not a person he knows how to play his cards real well you know i feel like you know that's how to do that bryce is and how hard he works you know just all the the working time that he puts into the game and hits his body as well you know every game going to pay off eventually but you know you know ron wasn't doing one night so you know nothing to take the time for him you know to develop him and his team you know and to be a real franchise so you know but really uh yeah he's a he's a dog for sure just give us a job i want to ask you about about your quarterback from this past year jayla milro because he had the rough spot but at the end of the year uh he started playing some really damn good football what do you think jayla milro uh could really turn into as he continues his college journey at alabama in my life in my mind i want to be surprised that he was higher than my opinion just from knowing from how hard he works so last year you know was jamie the real first year you know starting a quarterback playing quarterback you know his real first game experience of being a quarterback for the university alabama so but all of that starting may june when this man was coming to 630 workers at 430 to get extra working so me being me i like i like to come to the facility early so i like to be the first one there uh so 630 lifts i will try and get there at 5 45 5 30 so i'm there at 5 35 45 a whole hour before and his car is already there and he's not in it he's actually in there working out already doing this stuff and so he started that and june may may or june was yeah either one of those too much and it transpired to the end of the season so he was doing this from could i stop like once the 630 like what's up 630 was 630 to when school started this school started like during the summer you know you're gonna grind and play football and stuff like that but like i was going to 630 like but he was real consistent and making sure that he put his work in and being the first guy in the last guy out like that's what i seen him and so him and so since i seen that in the summer and seen him carry that into the ceiling i kind of was never like i never had no doubt in my mind that he was gonna get better at the quarterback and he was gonna grow real fast because he worked and was willing to learn and you know just be a sponge everything so you know it was really just a i always i was always at this point i always had it better no matter what i was sitting down and that always my quarterback so yeah i can't wait to see what he does this year with with kalen deboir who's a brilliant offensive mind but i gotta ask you about your ball coach from college and nick saben how did you kind of process what was the initial reaction when you found out that okay this is actually happening nick saben is retiring i mean you should have gone but uh really it was uh it was a surprise at first but it wasn't at the same time you know it was just something that you gotta keep in the back of your mind but uh you know it definitely was shocking at first you know finding out the social media and twitter and stuff like that probably the same way you did and uh you know it was just like oh wow like your coach you know you have a very good uh sharp worker that you know winning and being a dominant program wherever he was at and so you know i feel i really feel like you know he's gonna fill in those shoes very well you know and create his own legacy there so yeah do you have an idea uh a dallas turner where you think you're gonna go tomorrow evening i mean if you know let me know it feels like a lot of people are saying atlanta it feels like the bears have you had a lot of conversations with those two teams i mean yeah you know a lot of the teams that i visited on you know it was a it was a lot of the teams that were possibly picking me up but you know you know last year we're seeing well supposed to go at three to the cardinals you know houston i'll trade up go get them you know anything that happens so you know this is more of a just go with the flow and so you know i'm going with the floor right now so just curious since you did go up against uh jaden daniels uh quite a few times in college what would you tell a team that's thinking about maybe taking jaden daniels as a quarterback he threw for 350 yards and ran for over 250 yards in the sec game that's all you got to say yeah man i can't wait to see what he does he he reminds he reminds me like lamar jackson except just with a better arm i feel like he i love the ld my favorite quarterback he got potential to be better than him i can't name a lot from from what i've seen but yeah he's definitely you know i've been i've been up here cooling with him in the league and brian so you know it's been really large all right yeah i know you got to run but before we let you run tell me what you're doing today uh with png and also old spice oh you know uh real happy decided you know for nfl drag you know take this next step uh you know a lot about changing you know a new team a new team a new home a new city but you know i love png you know has the same as i need to be ready for anything so but you know you know just going into this season you know they just came out with a new old spice told a lot of deodorant you know i had my back heading into anything so you know it's gentle enough to use all over you know and it gives you that 24-7 freshness you know wherever you spray that from head to toe you know uh to make sure that you fresh the other day so yeah so they helped me a lot throughout this presence absolutely love it dallas turner good luck we appreciate it thank you yes sir real time there you go dallas turner joining us on the zach gilb show on the infinity sports network um you know that's something i'm going to be curious about how many defenders end up going in the top 10 because i just gave you how i think the first six picks are going to go and i gave you my my one or two options that i threw out there you know i feel like joe alt is going to join us coming up at the top of the hour that they're going to see him go to tennessee at seven that eight or nine range with atlanta and chicago is when you start to think maybe defense i got to think of dunes a goes either eight or nine i would be surprised if the jets go defense maybe the jets trade out i got to think of the jets stay there though they're going to take an offensive player like a brock bowers but i gave you the two options on the first six picks williams daniels may marvin harrison jr one two three four staying put vikings trading up for mccarthy at five and the malik neighbors going six to the giants and the other option was caleb williams jaden daniels drake may marvin harrison jr once again one two three four chargers getting malik neighbors and the giants taking jj mccarthy i don't think the giants are going defense you know the chargers i don't think are going defense the cardinals aren't going defense obviously one two three it's going to be quarterback quarterback quarterback and then it's like could tennessee go defense i guess but i think they're going to beef up their line so then you look at teams like atlanta and chicago but it's not inconceivable that one of them takes a doomsday and the other maybe goes offensive line as well so there's a real chance that a defensive player doesn't go in the top 10 i would bet though one does go in the top 10 and you have right dallas turner being mentioned jared verse uh the ucla edge rusher uh defensive player as well like to latu and those seems like the the first three names that people are talking about with the defense in this draft all righty this is that gilb show on the infinity sports network we'll take a time out we'll come on back update some of the biggest stories in the world of sports with some audio with the news brief update time first though here he is dextre henry all right it is the zack gilb show on the infinity sports network it's time to ask the pros where you the listener gets to ask us a question and it's brought to you by o'reilly auto parts simply tweet your question at inf sports net or at zack gilb using the hashtag ask the pros be listening later in the show when we might answer your question think o'reilly auto parts for all your car care needs get guaranteed low prices and excellent customer service from the professional parts people at o'reilly auto parts am i supposed to say inf sports net on the twitter handle i guess right that would be it stu and carlos are like looking around as if this is a serious question it's not a serious question guys i feel like when i just read that though uh in like a promo read like that i'm compelled to say simply tweet your questions at sports net what are you ron burgundy like if we put a question mark in the wrong place you're gonna read it too yeah you go bleep yourself san diego that's a i saw that i'm like i know i'm supposed to say inf sports net but when they don't have it with like dashes in between i want to just simply say simply tweet your questions at sports net it's like i'm a tennis player a sports net i'm sure uh people use those sounds and say that there are different noises uh as well i remember when i saw al lighter once pitch in a spring training baseball game at port st lucy he would always uh grunt when he would throw the ball so he maybe we could get him to do some reads for us hey i'm al lighter when i used to pitch i used to sound like this listen to sports net sounds like a dj boof what are you building the beat all righty let's get to uh a news brief edit brief edit time for your daily news brief we get you caught up on the rumors reports and reconnaissance from the day in sports all righty on sports net news brief let's start off with jerry jones we will do a a lot of jerry jones sound today they get wackier and wackier let's play the most sane jerry jones sound that we have and uh he says the team still has the same all-in mentality even though he said they were going to be all in this off season and they've signed like two free agents and you couldn't even uh figure out who those two free agents were listen up we feel great about what we've been in free agency all in all in all in all in we're all in with these young guys coming on and we're all in with this draft you have to rookies contribute or you aren't getting the value that you need to have these these are your lesser paid as far as the other relative to veterans they're gonna the good ones are gonna get paid to have other days of more pay but that's got to melt in with the overall management or it doesn't work because you've got 10 9 10 players getting 70 of the money i'm sitting here and i'm trying to figure out how i should respond to this and i'm paid to speak into a microphone and i have nothing like that was just 45 seconds of incoherent rambling where you can't just say yeah i said we were gonna be all in but we don't have the reflection that we actually are all in i i'm trying to figure out what he was trying to say and i'll use what he said on the back end where when you have so many players that take up so much of your salary cap space that you can't go that you can't go all crazy in free agency but one problem you haven't got a new deal done with dak Prescott uh cd lam did you get a new deal done with him oh no how about michael parsons did you get a new deal done with him no so you've been all in on being like a couch potato pretty much and doing nothing that's that's wacky and that's the same sound from jerry jones wait until we play some lackier audio later here is uh payton manning on his conversation with carlos Ortiz's favorite quarterback jj mccarthy this is on stokely and josh on denver sports actually had a conversation with jj mccarthy the other day i texted him so after the national championship uh i never met him but we invited him to our to our football camp and like hardball wouldn't let him miss a workout so he didn't get to go and so i just reached out and said hey man congratulations you know wish you the best of luck in your next chapter and i guess he thought i was a prank because he never he never called me back so i texted him monday you know from the same number and he's like oh it really is you i thought that was somebody was pranking me and so i just kind of wished him luck and he said i love to ask you some questions so he called me back and uh i'm quite impressed to talk to and uh i know denver is very interested in him and it sounded like you know this is the place he'd love to come to so uh but it's a little bit out of his control carlos how old are you just wonder 38 so you're 38 i'm 29 jj mccarthy is in his early 20 i think he's 22 i want to say with jj mccarthy so you know obviously yeah jj mccarthy's 21 he turns 22 in jd so you have a big age difference 38 to 21 i have somewhat of a big age difference with uh jj mccarthy turned 30 in august to him being 21 if someone texted you that was very famous and said hey this is so and so want to congratulate you on your success blah blah blah and you didn't believe it was them what would you do someone texted you that what would you do i think there's one answer here i'd still text back i wouldn't text them i'd pick up the phone and pick up the phone and call them because if they're famous they have a recognizable voice it's paid a manning you know what he sounds like oh my so he probably picks up the phone i would just call him or facetime him to confirm that it's actually him because i could text back and be like hey number 18 sheriff is this really you and i could say yes and you could uh basically i'm not gonna say that's gonna turn into like a man-tied tail situation because you know jj mccarthy wouldn't be dated payton manning but you had this relationship via text and it's like one of those things where you can't confirm if that person's actually real or not so i would have picked up the phone if i was jj mccarthy at the time and would have called payton manning back uh here is uh payton manning he thinks uh change of scenery could be very good for zack wilson zack wilson how the new ish quarterback with the denver broncos i don't know if i'll ever start but he is getting an opportunity to be on the roster in denver once again soklee and josh in denver sports the change of scenario for zack wilson i think is going to be a good one i don't know how many coordinators he had in the time he was there but i want to say there's at least two i might have been three stoke as you know for a young quarterback the best way to really i think screw our young quarterback up is to change coordinators on them every single year and it drives me crazy look i was very fortunate i had an old school coach named tom moore who was the coordinator the entire time i was there in indianapolis right tom brady had different coordinators right charlie wise joshua daniels bill o'brien but it was the same system right bellacheck said hey we're running the same exact system that drives me crazy and so look uh i think it's a great uh chapter two uh for zack uh he will get coached hard here uh by sean payton and their staff uh which is important for young quarterbacks to be coached hard yeah you're getting an improvement on the head coach but it doesn't mean that he's going to be any good because like zack wilson this past year and i don't love the jets coaching but he had enough around him to show that he could be competent and outside of the kansas city game there weren't really any memories that you go oh zack wilson looks like he could be a player so i i get it payton manning right he's he's missed the bronco now so he's not gonna say anything negative about zack wilson going to denver because in all reality it's really a non-story i don't think anyone believes zack wilson's gonna go on to be a 10-year starter with the denver broncos here is uh adam shefter shefty as they like to call him on get up on the idea that the chargers with jim harbaugh loving jj mccarthy could go qb in the draft when they have some fella they just paid by the name of justin herbert the way it was told to me a month ago was that no new money in justin herbert's contract is kicked in to trade it would cost them well over a hundred million dollars which would be the largest cap charge in history you'd be absorbing the largest cap charge in nfl history to trade one of the elite young quarterback talents like it it doesn't make sense for as much as you would get back and i don't understand how those odds have gone up like that is this some sort of gimmick is this some sort of thing where they're trying to track people to get some big i gotta understand it it's the dumbest thing i've ever heard like even if you don't fully believe in justin herbert we could all acknowledge he's a good quarterback you may not think he's great i think he can be great the money is really where it's already a non-talking point but the money even makes it more of a non-talking point and then also let's say you get four first round picks for justin herbert are any of those guys gonna be as good as justin herbert like if you can get two or one all right maybe but i don't know justin herbert's coming out of college this year it's probably the first pick in this draft and i like caleb williams a lot i like jayden daniels a lot so what are they running out of things to talk about on getup this morning that they're going to that jeez here is ryan clark also on getup he reacts to some great news that i saw today that reggie bush they're finally doing something smart the heisman trophy trust they said bleep the ncaa we're giving him his heisman trophy back reggie bush is one of the greatest football players to ever grace a college football field ever he's one of the best we've ever seen he captivated an entire nation and nothing that happened to reggie bush's family nothing that they may have think reggie bush was given had to do with what that man did on the football field he deserves to not only have his trophy but he deserves to be a part of everything all of those other players get he deserves to have his name mentioned amongst the great that have played our game amongst the college ranks i am so excited for reggie bush and more than anything for him there has to be a relief that something he earned is now back in his possession i wonder why they ended up changing this and why they gave it back now like someone could say oh well nil and i don't think that's the reason there's two potential reasons one is what i think is more likely the other it's twitter speculation who knows if it's actually true number one would be johnny manzel said he wasn't gonna do the heisman trophy presentation they give him his heisman trophy back i had rg3 on rg3 said hey rg3 said hey maybe and i know rg3 host the ceremony but maybe some of us talk to johnny and maybe others join in right that would be a bad look for the heisman trust when you're giving out the trophy people that won the trophy are protesting the event because reggie bush doesn't have his heisman trophy back the other and i don't think this is true but when oj simpson passed away who's a heisman trophy winner the heisman trophy trust tweeted out like a notice that oj simpson passed away people were like wait oj a lot of people think he murdered people he could still have his heisman trophy when he was living but reggie bush can't because his mother took some money in like an apartment now i've always said this when it comes to people doing wrong and let's keep it in terms of money not with oj um i don't care if coaches cheat i don't care if players take money or their families take money i'm not saying it's right but it doesn't take away from what they did on the field and that's my problem with the hall of fame and major league baseball when they try to not put people like barry bonds in which is steroids it's totally different than this or with the heisman trophy trust that took away reggie bush's heisman that they finally are giving him back to now you're trying to erase history it's like vacating wins in college basketball like louisville didn't win a national championship a few years ago heck i saw it i don't understand when people try to vacate and take away things that happen in history uh finally let me play a little jaden mcdaniels sound as uh the timberwolds are up 2-0 and uh he was asked if there was any added pressure when anthony everett said hey they got kd but we got jaden mcdaniels listen up to jaden mcdaniels not not really i mean and know what he's talking about so just i mean we love love to compete so it's just something for me just to kind of have a chip on my shoulder knowing that like i still gotta go out here and show people that i can play defense i can do rkd and just i can score as well so just being myself really you know a lot of us believe that it's going to be celtics up against the nuggets in the finals there's not a team in the east right now that i think is going to take down boston you know i i think the nicks could give you six or seven good games we're not going to be boston the Sixers aren't healthy milwaukee isn't healthy right now with the honest onto the kupo now playing in that series tied up 1-1 against the Pacers in the west i think there's some teams you could buy stock in right now like minnesota is a team you could buy stock in you know thunder they're the one seed right now how about dallas with the dynamic duo with luka doncic and kyrie irving that series is at 1-1 i still think denver is going to get there and i believe that i've been saying this for the entire season no one's going to beat denver this year but you have some fun potential matchups in the western conference when the east it's kind of all right none of us love boston but you think boston's going to get there denver you love them but they're starting to be some serious challengers and the personality of uh anthony edwards man i would love i would love love love love to see minnesota get to the nba finals but i do ultimately think it will be denver okay we'll take a timeout we'll come on back you will hear from joe alt out of notre dame he is projected to be the first offensive lineman selected in the draft he's selected to go in the top 10 and almost
