Transcripts

play00:00

Justin fields and potentially trading

play00:01

out of number one overall I I just I I

play00:04

heard the reports that were out there

play00:06

that also said that the Bears could have

play00:09

the framework in place for a Justin

play00:11

Fields deal at the end of the combine

play00:14

this week so how do you see this

play00:16

situation playing out in terms of

play00:18

understanding what the Bears plan at

play00:20

number one overall is going to be moving

play00:22

forward I think they've pursued parallel

play00:24

tracks like what can we get for the pick

play00:26

and what can we get for Justin fields

play00:28

and you know if one of those answers is

play00:31

much much much much better than the

play00:32

other then they have to consider it

play00:34

right like if if what you're getting for

play00:35

Fields is a second round pick and what

play00:38

you're getting for for the one pick is

play00:40

three first round picks so you have to

play00:42

at least think about that right how far

play00:43

back are we moving can we use those

play00:45

picks to build around Fields do we

play00:47

believe in him long term I still think

play00:49

the strong likelihood is that they stay

play00:51

put and make the pick and trade Fields

play00:53

but I I knowing Ryan Po's their GM and

play00:57

how deliberate he is and how considerate

play00:59

he is of of all his options and how

play01:01

appreciative he is of having this

play01:02

opportunity for the second year in a row

play01:04

to have this asset this number one

play01:05

overall pick I think he wants to make

play01:07

sure and maximize it and that means he

play01:09

will explore all possible options before

play01:11

making a final decision and talking

play01:13

about Kyler Murray and Justin Fields I'm

play01:15

thinking about your job right now

play01:17

specifically this time of year when it's

play01:18

line season people are throwing out

play01:20

different theories and smoke what's that

play01:23

like for you as an information person in

play01:25

the NFL trying to navigate through all

play01:26

of this uh it's miserable the the um

play01:29

Jeff Darlington put it really well a few

play01:31

years ago he said uh the problem with

play01:33

with the draft is as a reporter like

play01:36

everything people are telling you that

play01:37

they're okay with you reporting is is a

play01:39

lie and everything they're telling you

play01:41

that's true they don't want you to

play01:42

report so like it it's just really um it

play01:45

it can be difficult you just have to I

play01:47

mean Chris Mortenson taught me a long

play01:49

time ago to grade my sources right like

play01:51

to to keep track of who's telling me

play01:53

what and whether they turned out to be

play01:54

right and how often uh it's difficult to

play01:57

do that but you try at least mentally um

play02:00

to take those notes and you know to me

play02:02

it's just I I feel like the

play02:04

responsibility unless you have hard news

play02:06

you can report which is great I think

play02:09

the responsibility is you want your

play02:10

reader or listener to be prepared for

play02:13

whatever is going to happen right like I

play02:15

don't I don't know what the Bears are

play02:17

going to do I I don't I know what I

play02:18

think they're going to do but I don't

play02:20

know what they're going to do so I don't

play02:22

want to sit here and say oh they're

play02:23

definitely staying put in drafting Caleb

play02:25

Williams Because if I know if Ryan poles

play02:27

shows up in Indianapolis today and and

play02:30

gets you know five first round picks

play02:32

offered for the not the that's not

play02:34

possible but like for the number one

play02:35

pick like he's he's going to change his

play02:36

mind right so so I think it's important

play02:39

just to lay out the scenarios and and

play02:41

give the particulars you know in terms

play02:43

of free agency in terms of things like

play02:45

you know Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson

play02:47

like like tell people what we do know

play02:49

which is what the contract looks like

play02:50

and what that probably means in terms of

play02:53

what the teams and the players can do

play02:54

about it and and um you know stick to

play02:57

what you do know instead of trying to

play02:59

throw darts talk with Dan Graziano ESPN

play03:01

NFL reporter here and un Sportsman like

play03:03

presented by Progressive Insurance

play03:04

another thing we saw on social media

play03:05

yesterday Kurt Cousins on a tennis court

play03:07

not playing tennis but throwing the

play03:09

football that means what to you I uh

play03:12

he's inventing a new sport I I don't I

play03:14

don't know

play03:15

like like in your mind he's cleared he's

play03:17

ready to go like why put that out I

play03:19

think he's I I think he wants everybody

play03:20

to see you know that that he that he's

play03:22

moving around okay and throwing the ball

play03:24

okay I mean he's if the Vikings don't

play03:26

resign him he's going to be a free agent

play03:28

so it behooves him to have that out

play03:30

there like look at me I can I can move

play03:31

around I'm recovering from my Achilles

play03:33

injury there's obviously no way he'd be

play03:35

ready to play now but he didn't have to

play03:37

right I mean we're months and months

play03:38

away from the season so if he does hit

play03:40

the market and teams are interested in

play03:43

him that's one of the first questions

play03:44

they're going to have is what kind of

play03:45

shape is that Achilles in and how soon

play03:47

would we have you so yeah I don't know

play03:50

why it had to be on a tennis is he I

play03:52

guess he's in Minnesota so it's probably

play03:54

cold uh so they're looking for an indoor

play03:56

place to throw but um yeah I I I don't I

play03:59

don't know why it had to be on a tennis

play04:00

court but yeah I think that's that's the

play04:02

message here is look I'm I'm moving

play04:04

around okay hey we saw Aaron Rogers do

play04:06

it Weekly right during the season show

play04:09

up like wait for all the cameras to get

play04:10

out there and then show up and throw um

play04:13

before the games right uh so so this is

play04:15

just Kirk doing that I think just less

play04:17

you know

play04:20

obnoxious well done uh Dan besides from

play04:24

the shrimp cocktail at St Elmos who who

play04:26

are people in NFL circles looking

play04:28

forward to seeing when they get to Indie

play04:31

what Prospect do they want to get their

play04:32

eyes on so there's a number of different

play04:35

answers that touch on aspects of why

play04:37

that why the combine's important for

play04:39

instance uh Michael penck uh right like

play04:41

he his medical evaluation is going to be

play04:43

important because of his injury history

play04:44

I think teams are going to be very

play04:45

interested to hear what the doctors have

play04:47

to say about you know what kind of shape

play04:50

he's in what likelihood of of recurrence

play04:52

of injuries you know going forward that

play04:53

kind of thing so it's a big week for him

play04:55

from that aspect JJ McCarthy is a player

play04:58

that a lot of teams really really like

play05:00

as a prospect but they would all tell

play05:02

you we really haven't seen him do a lot

play05:04

right cuz he didn't have to at Michigan

play05:06

like they were they were playing defense

play05:07

they running the ball he did everything

play05:09

they asked but there are NFL things that

play05:12

that he wasn't asked to do in college

play05:13

and and they want to talk to him about

play05:15

you know processing and how fast he he

play05:18

could do and then want to watch him

play05:19

throw and and and imagine what he's like

play05:21

in situations where he's under duress

play05:23

which we didn't see a whole lot and then

play05:26

you know I mean a lot of the top guys

play05:28

aren't going to run obviously but it

play05:31

soundss like McCarthy and nicks and

play05:33

penck will throw so how do you sort out

play05:35

that have we heard on May yet is he is

play05:38

he going to throw so so yeah that's an

play05:40

opportunity for him because I think

play05:41

there's a big question about him and

play05:43

Jaden Daniels who would be the second

play05:44

quarterback off the board so I think

play05:46

those are you know the quarterbacks and

play05:48

then there are you know it doesn't you

play05:51

don't hear a lot about the defensive

play05:52

guys in this draft but there are some

play05:53

Edge rushers I think people want to sort

play05:55

through uh I think the offensive tackles

play05:58

people like a lot so you know what's

play06:00

your poison there at the top of the

play06:01

draft if you're like the Jets and and

play06:03

and you get to the 10 pick and one or

play06:05

two of those guys is already gone what

play06:06

are you looking for and and uh and what

play06:09

kind of traits do they have so yeah I

play06:11

think it's um I think there's it really

play06:13

depends on the player and the team and

play06:15

the situation but I think uh especially

play06:18

at the quarterback position there's

play06:20

still some things to sort out after

play06:21

Caleb Dan some NFL head coaches are not

play06:24

going to be attending the combine is

play06:25

this a big deal or is it them simply

play06:27

delegating these responsibilities to

play06:29

other people on their staff so I go back

play06:30

and forth on this because I kind of

play06:32

understand their point like at the

play06:33

combine it is difficult to to walk 20t

play06:36

without being stopped by somebody and if

play06:38

you're the head coach of an NFL team the

play06:40

most visible person in your organization

play06:42

the most recognizable person like

play06:45

everybody everybody you walk past

play06:46

whether it's an agent or a somebody

play06:49

looking for a job or someone like me

play06:51

right like you can't do the stuff you're

play06:53

there to do because there's so much else

play06:55

going on so I get why these guys are

play06:57

going to say well we can watch watch it

play06:59

on TV we can do the interviews over zoom

play07:01

and and we're not going to be distracted

play07:03

by all this other stuff so I see their

play07:05

point but I also I also get to the idea

play07:08

that like the kids the prospects are all

play07:11

there you know getting tested and you

play07:14

know drug tested and poked and prodded

play07:16

and weighed and it it it can be kind of

play07:18

like this sort of dehumanizing exercise

play07:21

right and if you're asking these guys to

play07:22

go through it and you don't feel like

play07:24

you have to show up that feels a little

play07:26

bit sort of you know uh insult ing right

play07:30

it feels a little disrespectful and so I

play07:32

I I kind of go back and forth on that I

play07:34

I see why they don't want to go because

play07:37

of of everything else that goes with it

play07:39

but it feels like it would be a small

play07:41

price to pay to to show up and and and

play07:43

go through the process and and and tell

play07:45

these guys that you're thinking about

play07:47

drafting that you're subjecting to all

play07:49

these other sort of physical and mental

play07:51

tests that you're willing to endure a

play07:52

little bit of discomfort as well so the

play07:54

players it's

play07:58
