If you had to rank them, what would be the number one spot?

Opening, I should say.

It’s not, it’s not like an amazing group, But I’m just curious.

No.

I think, uh, I think Cleveland is poisoned.

I think the, Yep.

I think that Atlanta is just really tough.

No first-round pick.

It’sit’s hard.

Yeah.

How excited are you about… By the way, is anybody excited about Michael Penix except the two guys that they Just kicked out the door?

You know, I mean, That he’s ahe’s going to beright.

After he came off another ACL.

… 26 years old this offseason, third re- third reconstructed ACL, and I think I know about as much about how good he is, he is as an NFL quarterback now as I did, you know, a year ago.

So, I… that’s just a really tough one.

They’re… they’re…

They’re one where I don’t think either of the two quarterbacks who took snaps from them this They are going to start week one.

And we’re talking about a team without a First-round pick and all these questions at quarterback this year.

And this is really tough.

I think Arizona, you can squint at it and it’d be interesting, and I do think that I’m ready to see a new offensive vision for That particular roster.

Yeah, yeah.

I think the best opening might be the Raiders.

And I think the Raiders were abhorrent.

I thought the product was terrible this year.

And I’ve said it a lot on this show.

Right.

Uh, very often.

And yet, I kind of like Spitek.

I think Brady is at least…

Uh, I know that he’s getting a lot of crap.

For the way this has gone this year, that’s fine.

You, youhe’s gonna be more engaged.

Yeah.

He’s going to be more engaged, and it’s okay if you don’t hit a home run on your first swing.

It’s… it’s fine.

You know, like, it’s a Right.

… Job that I think you need to learn a little bit Here.

I’m still interested in that.

And regardless, they have the first overall pick.

If this is a one-quarterback draft, guess what?

Ain’t nobody fighting you for that one quarterback.

So, I do think that is really a good setup there.

And they have some young talent.

They have Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer.

They have, uh, Ashton Gentry, of course, And I still think that there are some other young, intriguing players that they took.

In this draft, they can obviously sit here and say, “Hey, the coaching staff didn’t even try to maximize these guys.”

I think that this whole setup this year for the Raiders, Pete Carroll: forced marriage with Spitek, forced marriage with Chip Kelly.

It was just, like, too many cooks in the kitchen.

It’s fascinating, it… What I said about the Raiders, It’s a fascinating thing to talk about in the offseason.

And then you get into the real games, and the product is abhorrent.

I think there’s a chance that if they just get everyone, like, just rowing in the same, Rowing in the same stream here, rowing in the same direction.

I think that we could actually get a pretty…

I don’t know.

I want to say good football team here, but I think we can get something going.
