Intro & Draft Highlights
00:00:00
Speaker
All right, everybody. Welcome back to the Savage Boston Podcast. We're here on May 1st. We are one week post the NFL Draft. We're obviously, you know, the Patriots selected Drake May. I think a good place to start the podcast tonight is obviously kind of going over the draft. I'm here with my friend Brett.
00:00:21
Speaker
and we're going to talk about who the Patriots drafted and then maybe finish up with some Celtics talk. This is literally half time at the Celtics game right now so definitely a good time to get a quick pod in and then go back and watch the Celtics hopefully finish out the heat which they should do tonight.
00:00:41
Speaker
Yeah, so obviously we reacted live last week to the Drake may pick, which was pretty awesome. Because, you know, actually, we had a lot of people listen, which was cool. A lot of people checked in on the pod. Good, good stuff. True live reaction. And so what I want to do first is obviously we can go kind of like pick by pick for a minute and just see kind of what what we think. I'm not crazy into grades. I know it's everyone
00:01:07
Speaker
Loves loves fucking grades give everything a B and F and a it doesn't matter Just just just give you take the grades don't matter because you know Probably you could find someone who gave Nikhil Harry and in a out there in the past and we saw how that worked out So so, you know so far one week
Drake May's Impact
00:01:26
Speaker
later. I love the Drake may selection Love it still love it
00:01:32
Speaker
Very excited. He's gonna be a Patriot I think after he got drafted. I like it even more Loving the stuff coming out about how his attitude and it's just his swagger. It's a confident kid He's pretty much good at everything he does and he's a competitive guy So very excited about the Drake may pick so Brett why don't you give me your kind of week later thoughts? Well, how are you still feeling?
00:01:57
Speaker
So I got to agree. I mean, we talked a lot about Drake may going into the draft. And it was great that come draft night, it actually came to fruition, right? We, uh, had so much speculation around it leading up to it. And, you know, it was shitty to have to go through all of that, but it was, you know, it was great to finally seal the deal. And I agree. I think the guys got a ton of potential.
00:02:22
Speaker
know, I like the reports coming out about some of the offers were coming up and we basically said no, this is our guy and this is who we're going to take and, you know, good on them for identifying it sticking to it and getting their guy out there. You know, so I think he's got a ton of potential. I like the early stuff coming out with him and how he's going, you know, going to fit in here. I think he's
00:02:46
Speaker
You know, he's got, obviously he's, he's got a lot of raw skillset there and got to be developed, but, uh, you know, I liked the prospect of them. And then, you know, I love what they did after that within the draft with the offensive side of the ball. Now, you know, Polk wasn't really my first choice up there at two, you know, they, uh, they clearly felt like it was a good pick because they traded back to get him and felt confident in getting him. But.
00:03:16
Speaker
You know, I wasn't like in love with Polk at first, but now I'm going to kind of buy in towards
Jalen Polk Discussion
00:03:22
Speaker
it. I do like the leadership qualities coming in from Washington, but.
00:03:26
Speaker
You know, my concern there is he's not really a separation guy, but hopefully he'll be that guy that kind of fills in that slots, get some good, um, you know, good, good receptions and traffic type locations. But I just, um, I dunno, I thought we could have gotten a little more flash there. Uh, and just didn't happen for whatever reason. It's weird though, the amount of, uh, negativity.
00:03:52
Speaker
uh for that pick you know like I know we could they they could choose any pick but like Felger and Mavs right like everyone admits that Drake May was obviously the most important one right that was the that was the pick you had to make you had to get Drake he was the the one you had to do and I'm happy they had the conviction to do it but afterwards you know the Jaylen Polk thing you know
00:04:14
Speaker
If you believe him, they're saying that was, that was their guy. Like that's who they wanted. That's the guy they wanted. So, um, I'd like to believe him. It's not like he's crazy slow. He runs a four or five, almost a four or five flat. He's got great route running. Like you said, good leadership. He he's a dog, as they say, he was on a great high level offense. Um, he's a competitor. So.
00:04:38
Speaker
I think he's going to be a really productive receiver and probably, and he's a great route runner. So I don't know. I mean, like these guys love to shit on pecs, but like, you don't know. I mean, again, this is Elliot Wolf now, not Bill Belichick. So for all the positives that came with Bill Belichick and his coaching and his defensive strategies,
00:04:56
Speaker
You know, the downside, as we know, from Bill Belichick, is he doesn't know how to evaluate wide receivers in the draft. That's clear. I mean, extremely clear. It's like his one knock on Bill. He can't draft wide receivers. So I'm hoping Elliott Wolf, who's coming from the Packer Tree that drafted Devontae Adams and drafted Jordy Nelson and a couple of those guys, like, they've had some good picks. So I hope he's the next one up. Maybe he can beat you, Kobe Myers.
00:05:24
Speaker
And if he's Jacobi Myers, are people mad?
00:05:27
Speaker
Like, that doesn't make me mad. Like, yeah, of course you want someone who's like, elite this, elite that, but Jacobi Myers was pretty good here. He was the only bright spot for a long time. So, I think if you combine Bourne, who's really solid, you know, Polk, who can maybe be solid, Demario Douglas in the slot, and then we don't know, we'll talk about J. Von Baker, but like, these are guys that I think could be pieces around Drake May, and hopefully you can see kind of what you have. So, I'm a little higher on Jaylen Polk, I suppose.
00:05:58
Speaker
To bring it back really quick to the Drake May selection, I was surprised that the Vikings didn't offer more. And say with the Giants, I thought the Giants really wanted Drake, and I think they did. They thought somehow they weren't going to have to offer up a lot, but they offered I think next year's first.
00:06:18
Speaker
and it's just it's just not enough and then um the vikings wanted you to pick swap with them like next year's first and like a couple of your mid-rounders this year and i was like what do you even want the player you know so so i don't know what did you think about the um the trade offers by the vikings and the giants
00:06:37
Speaker
Yeah, it was kind of funny looking at the Vikings. It's almost like they were trying to muddy it up because there was a whole lot of like pick swaps, right? It wasn't like this big, hey, splash, we want this guy, so we're going to trade up kind of like what happened with the Carolina Chicago. And really, I knew it wasn't going up to first, but I felt like based on things going in, I mean, it had to be something similar to that.
00:07:03
Speaker
And when you saw the reports coming out for the Minnesota and the Giants offer, it was clearly, you know, no, this is not going to be the case. But like I said, I think the one that I thought was kind of funny was the Minnesota one. Cause it was, it was kind of weird. It was just a whole lot of different swaps for different picks throughout the draft and different rounds. And it just made it sound better than it probably was. So.
00:07:29
Speaker
Yeah, again, I like the fact that they just stuck their ground and got the guy because really, this is what you got to shoot for when you when you identify the quarterback. And in this case, they clearly believe they do. They did. You just get them. I mean, it doesn't even matter what you're going to offer up for futures.
00:07:48
Speaker
If it's the guy, you get him because this could be the guy for the next 15 plus years.
Trade Critique
00:07:54
Speaker
So why didn't why didn't the Giants do more? I mean, serious question about them, like they're clearly they just they just don't have the fucking balls. Like, I don't know what it is. Like, honestly, like, did the Giants just not have the balls to pull it off? Because you got a team that hates Daniel Jones. I mean, their entire fan base doesn't like him. He's somehow getting paid a crazy like 50 million or 45 million
00:08:17
Speaker
40, whatever, a large contract to be a very underachieving quarterback. I mean, he's a bottom five, bottom 10 quarterback in the league, and you have an opportunity to go reach and get a guy who has really great potential. So I don't know why the Giants wouldn't offer more.
00:08:37
Speaker
I mean, what is it? Same with the Vikings too. Like Vikings, the only thing holding the Vikings back was they wanted JJ McCarthy and the Giants didn't want JJ. The Giants wanted Drake May. The Vikings also wanted Drake, but they said, all right, we can make this work. We have Kevin O'Connell, like we can make this work with JJ McCarthy. So that's what they did, right? They held back. The one pick that was fucking outrageous was the PENEX pick.
00:09:03
Speaker
You know, hold on, I didn't even mean to talk about this, but like, what are your thoughts on the panics, on the panic spec before I go off? It was. It's probably going to go down as one of the most idiotic like picks at that period. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense. You have a quarterback out of all the quarterbacks that was the most quote unquote pro ready. He's older.
00:09:32
Speaker
And he's coming out into the draft that like you decided to jump up and get him knowing that you have Kirk Cousins that you've just gave a monster contract to that you like are pretty much committed to at minimum of two years. And you're probably not going to see panics on the field for at least two years, maybe three. So now you're going to bring panics in.
00:10:01
Speaker
maybe like year three going into year four and you got to make a decision whether or not you extend them on your contract and you're really only going to get like a one year a real play sample to figure that out and on top of that yeah they got young talent but they're going to have to sign that young talent so it's just
00:10:21
Speaker
was such a stupid pick. Anyway, you slice it any rationale you use you're like, all right, cool. Okay, they wanted to draft him to develop him and put him behind Kirk was like, okay, well, then why did you just sign a veteran 36 year old QB who's supposed to win a Super Bowl now for four years and pay him a ton of guaranteed money? Like when you want to draft someone who can help that team win now with eighth overall, like a pass rusher that you desperately need.
00:10:50
Speaker
So that argument's out the window. There's no, I don't know what the argument is. I mean, what is the argument? Because even if you tell, Kirk didn't even know. They didn't tell him. They were like, yeah, we called him during the draft. We're like, yeah, we're going to take panics. And he's like, oh, you risk alienating the guy that you just spent all this money on. I don't know what Terry Fontenot is, or Fontenot is doing.
00:11:18
Speaker
It's a confusing pick like sure it could work out or maybe Kirk Cousins goes off the deep end and doesn't want to play for you because you drafted his replacement.
00:11:27
Speaker
Or, you know, you let panic sit and he starts playing when he's 29 years old. I mean, there's, it's, it's, it's not J. Jim Carthy. He's not 21. I don't know. It feels like an unbelievably weird pick, no matter which way you slice it.
New Picks: Wallace & Robinson
00:11:40
Speaker
So I just thought that was like the most hilarious thing in the planet. Um, aside from that moving on to relevant things. Um, so yeah, we, we, we touched on Jalen Polk. I, I like Polk.
00:11:53
Speaker
I hope he's a dog. I think he's going to be a dog. He's going to be a great route runner. He's going to work his tail off. He was really good with Washington with panics, really good and a dunes, a talented team. So we'll see how that turns out. I think he's going to be solid pick third overall. So this is where it gets a little interesting. I think this pick was a reach and everyone thinks his pick was a reach when they took him. I was like, you know, got really scared at the moment because there was a ton of offensive tackles running off the board.
00:12:21
Speaker
So this was Caden Wallace from Penn State, 6-5, 3-15, and here's the deal. They think this guy, I think, can play left tackle. Now, if this kid can play left tackle and he balls, because he's really athletic, then you win.
00:12:38
Speaker
then you have great analysis, you're smarter than everyone. You say, because he got overshadowed by the other. Oh yeah, Olaf Hashanah, right? So he got overshadowed, right? So no one notices Kayden Wallace. So they think, Elliot Wolf thinks he's smarter than everybody. Great, let's see. If you put this kid at left tackle and he balls, then you're a smart fucking guy. So this is a big wait and see pick for me. How do you feel about Kayden Wallace?
00:13:06
Speaker
I actually really liked this pick because of the fact that I mean, I, I knew we needed to get a tackle going into this draft. And, uh, you know, you look at it and you said, all right, quarterback wide receiver tackle, and it could have gone quarterback tackle wide receiver. I would have been.
00:13:25
Speaker
happy either way with that, but I'm glad they went one, two, three getting those needs. But even just like the pick itself with Caden, wasn't he the guy that came up with like he only had like one sack and like a ton of like two years of dropbacks for like passing like he just never let up a sack or anything like that.
00:13:44
Speaker
Um, good. You had some good numbers. Yeah. It was like a ridiculous stat line that came up for that. Where it's like, he, he'd let up one sack and like two years. I swear it was that or something else. I'll have to look it up, but, uh, I, you know, I do think there's some potential there. I mean, a guy that is clearly a tackle size guy, uh, played against some really tough, uh, defenses on the other side, you know, playing, playing at Penn state.
00:14:13
Speaker
You're playing some good, tough competitors on the other side of the ball. I think he's got the experience there too. He's not a younger guy. He's been there for a little while now, but I like the pick. I think it's a good pick for a good guy that can have a good amount of potential there.
00:14:33
Speaker
Yeah, it's just another we'll have to see and that's kind of your point at the beginning with draft grades It's so stupid today, you know, yeah, this is an a this is a B I know you either you either like the idea of the pick or you don't like the idea of the pick to Like the player it's kind of hard and I know I just said I like the player but that was really just kind of like the ridiculous stat line and the concepts behind them but
00:14:57
Speaker
Yeah, I like to take I like to pick if he plays left tackle like if you give him a go attack and yeah I like to pick you know, I mean like 68th overall still pretty high That's a good you expect some production out of your third round picks like that's a solid pick After third round things get real scarce The next pick another another offensive tackle laden robinson this to me again total question mark
00:15:24
Speaker
It's kind of like picking city so who ended up being a pretty good player Or Mike and when who who Mike and when it was obviously an absolute baller, you know So you don't know how these guys are gonna turn out. I mean you really have no clue So so I mean that's a big wait and see for me the next one I really want to talk about more is J. Von Baker who is 6 1 2 0 8 from Central Florida UCF fourth round 110th overall
00:15:54
Speaker
I think this is a great pick. Everyone thinks this is a great pick. It's like a very high, upside, fast kid pick. Do we know if this is gonna work out? No clue, but there's no problem with loading your team with talented people versus clearly the offense has had a lack of talent in the last few years. So how do you feel about J. Vaughn Baker?
00:16:21
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I definitely think he's what I liked about Baker and Polk is that they're, they're big guys, right? So Baker's definitely a big guy. He's a, he's a down the field threat type guy too, which was another real evident trend that they went with. You know, they went with guys with big arms by getting, you know, may obviously, but then Milton later on, which I liked the idea of just getting another quarterback, but both of them big arms. And then they got,
00:16:50
Speaker
uh, Baker and Polk, but Baker's definitely that like over the top kind of no guy that's going to go for those big yardage. And, um, yeah, I look at that and say, well, there's a lot of potential there. Cause I don't see that on our roster. So I think it's a, it's a player that we need just because we don't have it on our roster. Yeah. I wonder honestly, like how many, we have like something like 11 wide receivers in the roster right now.
00:17:18
Speaker
Um, and you're going to have like six make the team, you know, go through them a little in your head now between, uh, Polk and Baker who just got drafted. Um, you know, you're gonna have, uh, born, you know, pop Douglas that's for, um, you know, probably like Jalen Rager cause he'll do some special teams too. And, um, no, I know I'm missing someone else who's probably say Osborne.
00:17:46
Speaker
Oh, yeah, KJ Osborne. So yeah, so I mean, that's five, right? So that's Osborne, Bourne, Pop Douglas, Baker and Polk. There's five guys right there that can be solid players. Aside from that, like, they almost like have to cut juju. And everyone online is like, Oh, you gotta, you gotta trade juju. Okay, trade them. Who you want to trade them for?
00:18:09
Speaker
Who are you trading him to? Does anyone want juju? Like, like you gotta think there's two parts. Everyone's just so quick to be like on Twitter is like a trade juju trade to who? Who wants juju? His knees fucked up. He can't move. Probably runs like a four nine. I mean, no one has any idea what's going on. Like he can't play right now. He's he's he's injured.
00:18:31
Speaker
And I don't think he's coming back. So to me, it's not as simple as just saying, trade Juju.
Roster Cuts Debate
00:18:38
Speaker
So that to me, it's gonna cost you a lot of dead money, something like $7 million in dead cap, but you're gonna have to get rid of him. And so yeah, so other than that, I mean, it'll be interesting who they get rid of. Get rid of Horton.
00:18:54
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, well, again, like Taekwon, right? All this, this is why everyone looks at the draft. This is what pisses me off about the 40-time shit. Everyone looking at Taekwon Thor, and they're like, oh, dude, like, we dropped him, and we ran like a 4-2-9 or something. And in the draft, they're like, wow, Taekwon, he should have never been a second-round pick. He was only a second-round pick because he ran that 40-time. But like, who the fuck evaluated that player? Was that Belichick?
00:19:22
Speaker
because clearly. Well, I mean, I mean, it's like so bad to go Nikhil Harri to Taekwon. How do you miss that bad twice? I mean, the first and second round Taekwon last year running routes was horrible. I mean, he ran some a truck. I shared clips like it was terror. I'm sure he's a nice kid. He can't run routes, man. And if you can't like versus you watch clips of Jalen Polk, you're like, that dude looks like a legit receiver.
00:19:52
Speaker
So I mean, we'll see, but I'm willing to bet that Taekwon probably is not going to make this roster. I hope it just doesn't cost you that much like in dead cat. So you want to you want to touch up on because I know he just mentioned Belichick. Belichick comments on May.
00:20:11
Speaker
there on the draft. What were your thoughts there? Yeah, yeah. So that was interesting. I really liked Belichick draft commentary. I thought it was good. But I mean, what Bill Bill's going his old classic critique mode. He's like, all right, I'll look at your feet. You know, look at his feet here. He's getting antsy moving too quick from the pocket. But like, that shit that we think is all correctable.
00:20:34
Speaker
And the approach in the last week, we can analyze this, but the approach with Mack Jones was you get a guy with the high floor who's got the intangibles. Yeah, he's missing the arm. Yeah, he can't really run. Yeah, he can't throw on the run. And we're like, but we can, you know, he's got all the other stuff. And so we thought that would be a good approach. And clearly that worked horrifically.
00:20:55
Speaker
So this time around, we said, let's get the opposite of Mack Jones, where we're going to take a kid who could fucking ball. This kid can throw off one foot, backpedaling 50 yards on a flick. He's got a sick arm. You know, Josh Allen asks, he's got a lot of talent.
00:21:11
Speaker
Now, now you take the guy without, you know, Drake May doesn't have the footwork. Everyone talks about it. Doesn't have the intangibles. You don't know what kind of mindset this kid has. He could get in this this offseason, his pocket and be like, like work his tail off and be a pretty legit first year quarterback. He could play day one. He might play day, you know, game eight, but he could play. What if he what if he smokes percent in camp?
00:21:38
Speaker
Like what if he smokes him and you're like, this kid's ridiculous. So I'm just saying like, let, you know, Belichick is clearly doing the Belichick thing where it's being having critique, critique, critique. That's what he does. It only fucking work because you had Tom Brady, who's a psychopath for perfection. That's why it worked. Tom just got so angry and people critiqued him that he had to perfect his game. And I hope Drake may has a similar killer mentality.
00:22:04
Speaker
That would be awesome. But but let's wait and see. I'm very high on Drake. I'm excited. We got a young QB, you know, and Belichick is just going to Belichick. That's what he does. He's a critical guy. So how did you feel? Well, I mean, it was definitely it was comical listening to him talking about how like
00:22:25
Speaker
Yeah, he's a big talent guy. He thinks he's like Josh Allen or there are people comparing or Josh Allen with like, I don't know. Josh Allen's pretty special guy. And then he talks about how like he doesn't have a lot of experience and needs to learn how to read defenses, get in there, recoverages, and you're bailing out in the pocket. He's just ripping the kid apart, which is just not what you'd normally hear on draft days, right? A lot of the time, which is funny because
00:22:54
Speaker
Most of the time, these these draft guys that come up there, they're so hyperbolic about this guy's a franchise guy going to come in and really be a tone setter and all of those cliche things that they all say. And majority of them don't actually work out. But then you get Belichick up there. It's just like, yeah, no, this this kid's got a lot of a lot of talent, but he's got a lot of work to do. Well, here here's a quick update. That was that was ridiculous. Here's a quick cap update. So
00:23:22
Speaker
If you cut Juju Smith's Schuster pre-June 1st, which they won't do, it costs you $12 million in dead money and costs you $1.9 million a cap. If you cut Juju post-June 1st,
00:23:34
Speaker
It's 9.6 million in dead money, but he actually saved $600,000 in cap. So I'm willing to bet that they're going to cut Juju post June 1st. That's my impression. Now, it doesn't look like there's too many other people that if you cut are going to save you a lot of money and they frankly don't need to save a ton of money at this point. But like, you know, Davon Gacha, for instance, if you don't want Gacha on your team, they might because he's a good player.
00:24:04
Speaker
If you caught him post June 1st, you're saving $8 million on the cap and you only have $3 million of dead money, so that's not bad. So there are some guys you could cut to save money if you really wanted to, but honestly, you don't have a ton of horrible contracts on this team right now. They really shed a lot of those bad contracts.
Off-season Successes
00:24:24
Speaker
So they're not going to cut juju because of like creating cap space. They would cut juju because they have like eight guys on their roster right now and they're not going to carry AY receivers. So.
00:24:40
Speaker
And you know, he's definitely washed up goods. But you know, one thing that we haven't touched upon yet, which I know we've talked about in the past is the signing of bar more love that signing fucking love that signing. Yeah, that was so needed. You got a young guy top 10 D tackle at a fairly good price point. You know, it's almost like a discount just getting over a little over 20 million a year per for four years. And you know,
00:25:09
Speaker
looking at that, knowing the calf's going to go up. Like that's, that feels like a fucking steal. And I'm so glad we signed it. I mean, going into this off season, we knew we needed to, we looked at, we said we need on went out because we just don't have a lot of depth on the offensive line. We planned on getting a young quarterback. So we need to make sure we have something short up there. And then on top of it, we had a young guy in Baltimore who was, you know, becoming eligible.
00:25:37
Speaker
and really playing at an elite level and a premium position, you got to sign them up. And then I liked the Duggar signing, but I felt like those two guys going into the off season were so fucking critical that I'm glad we kept them. Now, I still felt like we should have gone out in free agency and got either a wide receiver or a tackle because I think there were options out there. But internally, I felt like those two guys were like must signs.
00:26:07
Speaker
I mean, it's really like, you probably really have one fail this off-season, right? Like only one, and it's the miss on Calvin Ridley. Just one fail. The rest of everything that they tried to do, they did. Everything, I mean, Unwendoo, you know, like par more. I mean, at some point, they're probably gonna give a raise to Matthew Judon, or you trade him and get him to a contender. I don't know what they're gonna do. They, I've heard rumors they might trade him. But like, you know, Matthew Judon could start getting extension talk. Maybe he doesn't wanna get,
00:26:37
Speaker
I don't know if he's going to want huge money somewhere. I'm not sure. I think he likes playing here too. And I liked you done as well, but they pretty much succeeded on everything except Calvin Ridley. Now the draft is here. They quote unquote weaponize the offense a bit. You added some young talent. Like, like you said, there's two areas still that you have pretty huge question marks other than literally quarterback. Of course, well, we know that's going to take time.
00:27:03
Speaker
The two areas still are left tackle, which maybe that's that third round pick. The other area is still number one wide receiver. Let's see how it goes. I mean, you got question marks of the three biggest positions still. Number one wide receiver, left tackle and quarterback. So it's not like we're coming in expecting miracles this year,
Future Focus: Drake May's Development
00:27:22
Speaker
but if you could find a way to be Houston, if you could somehow be like,
00:27:26
Speaker
you know CJ Stroud and we make the playoffs or we're like a nine and eight or something like people are going to be really high on this team and you need Drake May to grow with these wide receivers and you just need I mean they'll be good the Patriots will be back if you just have Drake May develop that's it he just needs to develop into the quarterback we want him to be
00:27:50
Speaker
And if he does that, then we're on to the next chapter, man, and we can really start to add to the roster. But if not, we're in this weird limbo now where it's like we are at the bottom of the rebuild other than, you know, the defense is actually still kind of nasty. Aside from that, we're at the bottom of the rebuild and we have to kind of work our way up. And that the priority is obviously getting Drake May to play the quarterback position well. So that's it. Oh yeah. Hit on the quarterback.
00:28:19
Speaker
A lot of other problems get solved real quick. Uh, you know, I, I think right now there's, there's enough talent on the wide receiver core and tight ends and running backs from a weapons perspective that it's not like a total like gap. Uh, I don't think our wide receivers cores elite, but I think there's potential in there and there's solid talent in there, but.
00:28:47
Speaker
It's still to me, it's the offensive line that I think is the one biggest question mark for me going in towards it. How are they going to hold up? How are they going to look? Uh, we got a bunch of new guys and then some guys that are there that I, I just don't know. I mean, we'll see. That's the one biggest question mark for me. And that's where I get hesitant with Drake may where I'm saying like, yeah, the guy could be showing like the right footwork, making the right decisions, but.
00:29:14
Speaker
I don't want to put a young guy out there and get crushed if our offensive line sucks. So I'm okay with what they did with Brissett, knowing that we basically signed him as the starter from the beginning to cover the young guy. But we'll see. I mean, I'm thinking maybe weeks eight or nine, we could see something happen, but let's see. There's no schedule out yet.
00:29:40
Speaker
Um, right. There's no like, yeah, everything's to be determined. So I'll put it this way. Once a schedule drops, I think then we can look closer and say, what would be a good opportunity for Drake to play? And so maybe I'm hoping that the league front loads, you know, the Patriots with some bad match ups. And then you'll come weeks seven, eight, nine, you say, all right, it's, it's time.
Conclusion & Celtics Game
00:30:06
Speaker
And then a year full commit. And I just think everyone would just be so much more interested in watching Drake play and develop that it'll be exciting no matter what. You just get to watch a kid, watch a kid ball. Again, the goal for all this is to be the Houston Texans, which is funny to say, but that is your goal. You need to be CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans who just Stroud came in and said, fuck you all. I'm just going to ball out the season. And that's what he did. So.
00:30:33
Speaker
All right, we'll finish up now so we can go watch the end of the Celtics game, which they're stomping the heat. Hopefully they absolutely destroy the heat. I'm sick of that team franchise and those fake fans. So I had enough of that. So we will see you guys next week. Go Celtics, go Bruins. Yeah, let's go. Peace.
