the intrigue will begin with the
Washington commanders on the
clock. With the first pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Chicago
Bears select Caleb Williams,
quarterback, Southern California . There he is, a Detroit cheer
for Caleb Williams, hugging his
family. And he is the first overall pick in the NFL draft.
Kid who went from Oklahoma to
USC when his coach, Lincoln Riley, went there, followed him
to USC immediately. He won a
Heisman Trophy this past year. Wasn't the way he wanted it to
go in terms of wins and losses
and things of that nature, but his talent is undeniable and
bears fans, yes, he's about to
put a bears hat on and introduce himself to the world and head to
Michigan Avenue. He might not
have ran a 40 in Indy, but he's running one here. I mean, he is
flying up there. He's excited to
get this journey started when you see all the things that come
with Caleb Williams, people have
talked about the nail polish and the flair that he, you know, the
way that he dresses and he made
so much money in nil. I can tell you from experience, this guy
has a competitive fire in his
eyes. And ever since I talked with him as a true freshman when
he was at Oklahoma, this is what
he has been dreaming of. Not only this moment, but being the
number one pick. This has been
his goal. He wants to go to an organization and as he told me,
change the culture. He wants to
be that engine for the Chicago Bears. Do you remember the name
Johnny Lujack at all? Johnny
Lujack was the last great quarterback. Excuse me, Sid
Luckman, that's the name, the
last great quarterback the bears had that was consistent. Sid
Luckman you got to go back a
long way for that. They thought they had it in Jim McMahon. It
didn't happen except for one
season when they won the Super Bowl. They thought they were
going to get the long term run.
This is where they think the long term run starts starts here
with Caleb Williams. Well, I
asked the guys in their personnel department what did
you learn about Caleb Williams
from the end of the season to when you really got to spend
time with him to now? And they
said a couple of things. Number one, we talked to all of his
teammates at Oklahoma and at USC
and they love him. That's right. That was the first thing. The
second thing was, I don't know
if anybody's had more noise and more chaos around him, more
negative attention. And he was
so steely, focused. He did not get sidetracked. It didn't even
bother him. He just powered
right through it. Kind of ironic that his career begins getting
booed by 150,000 people here in
Detroit. He wasn't he wasn't very bothered by that. He'll get
booed in Detroit often in his
career. That's he might as well get used to it. And of course,
it'll be up to him to quiet the
crowd as bears fans are hoping that he will do at the controls
of an offense that has DeAndre
Swift and Keenan Allen new to QUARTERBACK.
BEFORE THAT, REX GROSSMAN. WILL THIS PICK REPRESENT THE
NEXT QUARTERBACK TO LEAD THE CHICAGO BEARS TO THE PROMISED
LAND? WE GO BACK TO THE PODIUM. >> WITH THE FIRST PICK IN THE
2024 NFL DRAFT, THE CHICAGO BEARS SELECT CALEB
WILLIAMS. >> THERE IT IS, THE WIRE TO WIRE
PROJECTION AT NUMBER ONE IS NO LONGER A PROSPECT.
CALEB WILLIAMS IS A PROFESSIONAL AND THE NEXT QUARTERBACK OF THE
CHICAGO BEARS. HE MAKES THAT WALK, GETS A
LITTLE HIGH FIVE FROM JADEN DANIELS WHO COULD BE MAKING THAT
WALK NEXT. CALEB MAKES THE WALK OUT.
HE WILL CROSS THAT STAGE AND BECOME THE FUTURE OF THE
CHICAGO BEARS. THIS IS A GUY WHO HAS BEEN AT
THE SPOTLIGHT SINCE HE TOOK OVER MIDWAY THROUGH THE 2021 SEASON
AS A MEMBER OF THE OKLAHOMA SOONERS AND FOLLOWED
LINCOLN RILEY AND NOW YOU GET THAT OUTBURST OF EMOTION.
THAT IS WHAT THIS NIGHT IS ABOUT, THE CELEBRATION.
AFTER THE MYSTERY AND CHAOS, CALEB WILLIAMS IS THE NUMBER ONE
OVERALL PICK, HEADING TO CHICAGO.
>> HE HAS TAKEN ON SOME WATER WITH HIS PERSONALITY.
I LIKE THE ENERGY HE BRINGS TO THE TABLE.
HE IS A CREATIVE PLAYMAKER. WHICH YOU ARE LOOKING AT, HE HAS
THE DRAMATIC ABILITY TO BE A PLAYMAKER INSIDE THE POCKET AND
OUTSIDE THE POCKET. THE DEEP TOUCH SETS HIM APART.
THE ABILITY TO THROW ACROSS, THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE
SOMETHING A QUARTERBACK COACH LIKES A LOT, BUT HE CAN GET AWAY
WITH IT. HE CAN RESET ON THE MOVE AND
CREATE A NEW POCKET OUTSIDE. FINALLY, HIS ABILITY AS A
DYNAMIC RUNNER. HIS ABILITY TO NOT JUST WIN
INSIDE THE POCKET BUT TO GET OUTSIDE OF THE POCKET AND MAKE
BIG PLAYS HAPPEN AS SOMETHING THAT SETS HIM APART.
>> CALEB WILLIAMS, THE era. And who is the first pick
of Washington tonight with the
second pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Washington Commanders
select Jayden Daniels,
quarterback, LSU. So it is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner,
second out of the green room
after his predecessor winning that award. Jayden Daniels is
the choice of the Washington
Commanders DJ this has just gone from an unwatchable offensive
product to must see TV. When you
put this playmaker at the helm of this offense going to be led
now by Kliff Kingsbury. He did
this the hard way, guys. This was not someone who just jumped
on the scene in college football
and took college football by storm. He earned his way. He got
better. He changed schools. You
talk to the folks at LSU first 1 in 5 o'clock in the morning.
He's bringing wide receivers in.
They're using the virtual reality to be able to study
coverages, study route
combinations. All of that hard work culminates in a Heisman
Trophy. And now he's a second
pick of the draft. What I love about Jayden Daniels is that
path that you just spoke about.
I covered him when he was at Arizona State and there was so
much optimism and hope for Herm
Edwards. You remember in that staff. And then all of a sudden
Covid kind of derailed that
program that the Pac 12 did not deal with Covid very well. They
had a half season. Their team
fell way short of expectations. And he bore the brunt of a lot
of that criticism. So the change
of scenery was perfect for him. And CD, I think it was that
change of scenery. Obviously he
was able to mature as both a person and a player, but it's
paid off in spades. Not just
this change of scenery, the coaching he gets. Brian Kelly,
one of the toughest quarterback
coaches in the country, to help elevate him there. But you
talked about the path 185 pounds
when you met him as a freshman. 207 now last year, Bryce Young,
that was a big issue. But Bryce
Young was water weight at 204. Jayden Daniels is a legit 207
210 and has a chance to add more
weight and be smarter about how he runs the football. Highest
drafted quarterback by this
franchise since they took another Heisman Trophy winner,
second overall in the draft in
2012. Robert Griffin, the third. As you can see, Kaylee Hartung
is about to well, as I'm seeing,
I guess off camera, Kaylee Hartung is standing by right now
with Jayden Daniels, the newest
Washington commander. Jayden just last week, the commanders
invited for quarterback
prospects to Washington. When >> THE WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS HAD BEEN LINKED
TO JUST ABOUT EVERY QUARTERBACK. WOULD THEY PONDER A TRADE UP TO
NUMBER ONE? WAS IT DANIELS OR DRAKE OR COULD
THEY FAVOR J.J. McCARTHY? IT IS IN FACT THE HEISMAN TROPHY
WINNER. THE LAST TO GO BACK-TO-BACK.
CALEB WILLIAMS WON AND NOW JADEN DANIELS.
JUST SHY OF 5,000 YARDS IN 2023. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ATHLETE
WITH A BIG TIME ARM AND UTILIZE SOME BIG-TIME WEAPONS.
YOU WILL HEAR THEIR NAMES CALLED SHORTLY.
THIS THE HAT IS ON IN THE NEW ERA IS ON THE WASHINGTON
COMMANDERS. ANOTHER OUTBURST OF EMOTION AND
BIG HUGS. JADEN DANIELS BECOMES THE NEXT
QUARTERBACK TO PILOT THE WASHINGTON COMMANDERS.
WHEN JADEN DANIELS IS NEW QUARTERBACK.
>> IT IS RARE YOU FIND A GUY WHO HAS A PLUS RUNNING SKILLS.
HE IS A UNICORN. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HIM, THREW HIS
TIME AT LSU, HE DISPLAYS THAT AND CONSISTENTLY DROPS THE BALL
ON THOSE THROWS. HE CAN THROW WITH ANTICIPATION.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN DOING HIS TENURE AT LSU.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST PLAYMAKER ON THAT OFFENSE.
HE CAN CREATE IMPROMPTU RUNS. HE HAS ALL OF THAT BUT THE
ABILITY TO STAY IN THE POCKET AND MAKE THOSE PLAYS.
THIS IS A NEW SCHOOL QUARTERBACK.
IT IS A DYNAMIC ATHLETE AND A REFINED POCKET PASSER.
>> THE THING THAT STANDS OUT TO ME, YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
FOOTWORK. is about to read off right now.
So trade talk might be happening
between Arizona and other teams or they might stick and pick.
But at least we're about to hear
who the latest new England Patriot is. With the third pick
in the 2024 NFL draft, the New
England Patriots select Drake may, quarterback North Carolina.
So it is the 21 year old from
North Carolina that is going to New England. As we all know in
2021, the last time we saw three
quarterbacks taken in a row to start a draft like tonight, the
Patriots chose Mac Jones 15th
overall in that draft, an excellent rookie season for him.
He did appear in the Pro Bowl
that year. The next two years devolved. He is now in the
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
room, backing up Trevor Lawrence, meaning this is Drake
May's future in New England. The
kid from North Carolina coming to the AFC East where Josh Allen
resides. And that is a kid who
he idolized. That's a quarterback he idolized growing
up here. He is the New England
Patriot quarterback, third overall. Drake may well, it
feels like for two decades
everyone was chasing Tom Brady in that division. Now
everybody's chasing Josh Allen
and they got a big, rugged, physical, athletic quarterback
in New England. Now that's going
to give them a chance when they find themselves in some of those
high scoring affairs. This is an
unbelievable athlete here. And Drake Maye as we go to the video
size athleticism anticipation

CHANGE THAT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHERE HE HAS
BEEN AT HIS BEST, JOHNNY MANZO, A RUN PAST ATHLETIC QUARTERBACK.
MURRAY HANDPICKED HIM. I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHO WOULD BE
GREAT? KINGSBURY WOULD JADEN DANIELS.
>> THE PATRIOTS, WHO ARE THEY READY TO PAIR WITH THEIR NEW
HEAD COACH? ELLIOT LEADING THEIR PERSONNEL
CHARGE AFTER THE DEPARTURE OF BILL BELICHICK.
WE WILL SEE WHO THE NEXT NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS IS.
NEW >> WITH THE THIRD PICK IN THE
2024 NFL DRAFT, THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS SELECT DRAKE MAY,
QUARTERBACK, NORTH CAROLINA. >> THERE IT IS.
>> I AM A TAR HEEL. I AM REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE THIS
IS A GREAT KID. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STATE OF
THE GAME AND WHAT HE DID AT NORTH CAROLINA, HE LIVED UP TO
THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE TEAM. TO ME, HE IS THE PROTOTYPE.
HE HAS IT ALL. THE ONLY THING HE DOESN'T HAVE
IS THE EXPERIENCE. THE INEXPERIENCE LEADS TO
INCONSISTENCY. IF HE IRONS THAT OUT, YOU ARE
TALKING A SUPERSTAR. >> YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE FIT
CHECK BEFORE YOU ARE ON THE CAMERA WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
I AM WITH YOU. IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW.
ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU GET THAT NEW ENGLAND
PATRIOTS UNIFORM ON. THERE IT IS.
HE IS SHOWCASING THOSE PATRIOT THREADS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
MATT JONES OFF THIS SEASON AND NOW IN, DRAKE MAY.
>> SIZE AND ATHLETICISM, HE HAS THE BIG ARM, UNQUESTIONABLE
TALENT. THE OTHER THING THAT STANDS OUT,
HE IS FEARLESS. HE HAS GUTS.
SOMETIMES THAT TURNS INTO MISTAKES AND HE HAS TO GET THAT
UNDER CONTROL. HE HAS PLENTY OF GO.
HE HAS GOOD TOUCH AND ACCURACY ON THE THROWS INTO THE END ZONE.
THAT IS SOMETHING HE NEEDS TO WORK ON.
HE IS ALSO A CREATIVE PLAYER. decided to do by sticking and
picking. While the Chargers are
already a minute and a half into their clock with the fourth pick
in the 2024 NFL draft, the
Arizona Cardinals select Marvin Harrison, junior wide receiver,
Ohio State. Well, a maserati is
about to hit the showroom floor here in the Motor City. Marvin
Harrison Junior, one of the more
talented quarterbacks ever at Ohio State, hugging his head
coach Ryan Day as he makes his
way out here on a draft night to go to Arizona and become the
prime target for Kyler Murray in
the NFC West. I'm all for trading down and getting depth,
but I'm more into getting dudes.
You have your depth. I'll take my dudes. This is a big time,
big time playmaker. They need
blue chip difference makers on this roster for the Arizona
Cardinals, there aren't many,
and Kyler Murray is grinning from ear to ear. He has a number
one wide receiver, and not two
years from now, three years from now, this is a number one wide
receiver. This year, he's going
to be ready to roll right when he gets on the field on the
whiteboard. His X's and O's
right Joel. That's right. This is an X that comes to life and
is an X factor. And Kyler Murray
has to have this guy in order to get this offense going. The
organization says Kyler Murray
is our quarterback. Give him some people. They give him a
chance to make those plays.
Marvin Harrison does it, by the way. He didn't run the 40. He
didn't do the didn't need to.
Why he was training to be a football player. That's exactly
right. And that's what he is.
Let me take you guys back a couple of years. You guys all
know how many Ohio State games
that Gus and I call, right? All of them. I think you did all of
them. I think you really
accurate. I think you miss a Youngstown State game. That's
about it. You know, we do our
best CD. There's no doubt you even throw out the Maserati.
Rich, you know. So it's a shout
out. Shout out to Gus. You've been listening. That's right. By
the way, Gus is from the D. So,
guys, three years ago, he's a true freshman. That's having a
hard time breaking into the wide
receiver room because it's Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, and Jaxon
Smith-njigba. And I would ask
those guys amongst the three of them, hey, who's the best among
the three of you? And they would
all look at me and say, oh no, no, no, he's the best one.
Marvin Harrison Jr, who wasn't
even on the field yet. He proved it in that Rose Bowl. You
remember against Utah as a true
freshman. And he's been the best receiver in college football
ever since. The highest drafted
wide receiver for Arizona since drafting Larry Fitzgerald third
overall in 2004. Welcome to
prime time presented by nationwide. Kaylee, take it
away. Well Marvin, you represent >> CALEB WILLIAMS, JADEN
WILLIAMS, DRAKE MAY, MARVIN HARRISON, THIS IS HOW WE THOUGHT
IT WOULD GO. >> MALIKA NEIGHBORS WAS GAINING
TRACTION. HE IS THE NUMBER ONE PLAYER ON
THE BOARD OVERALL, BUT FOR THE ARIZONA CARDINALS, THIS BIT THEY
HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SINCE JERRY FITZGERALD LEFT.
>> HE IS BIGGER THAN MALIKA NEIGHBORS.
YOU HAVE A READY-MADE. YOU TAKE THE PACKAGING OFF OF
YOUR OCULUS OR WHAT EVER VIDEO GAME YOU HAVE OR WHAT YOU
ARE DRINKING, YOU TAKE THE PACKAGE OFF AND IT IS GOOD TO
GO. HE IS GOING TO BE SOMEBODY WHO
CAN WIN. HE NEEDS THE WIDE RECEIVER.
THE THING YOU LIKE ABOUT MARVIN HARRISON JR., HE CAN WORK ALL
THREE LEVELS. THERE IS NOTHING HE CANNOT DO.
HE IS A ROCK SOLID PLAYER AND I AM GLAD HE DIDN'T TRY TO TRADE
BACK. AT SOME POINT, YOU DON'T PASS UP
ON GREAT PLAYERS. >> GOING ALL THE WAY BACK, THIS
FRANCHISE MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. MARVIN HARRISON JR. IS VERY
SIMILAR TO HARRISON. HE WAS A PRO'S PRO FROM ONE.
JEFF HAS AN ABILITY TO MANNED THE POSITION.
HE IS EVERYTHING YOU LOOK FOR IN A WIDE RECEIVER.
HE WILL HAVE A LOT OF SUCCESS. >> AFTER THE CATCH, SOMETHING WE
SAW OFTEN FROM HIM. LOOK AT THE SMOOTHNESS AND THE
TOP OF THE ROUTE. THAT IS WHERE THAT CRAFT COMES
IN. >> JUST IMAGINE WHAT THOSE
CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN LIKE SINCE HE FIRST STARTED PLAYING
THE GAME. HE HAS ALL OF THAT STUFF AND THE
ADVANTAGES HE MAY HAVE IT WHEN HE STEPS INTO AN NFL FACILITY.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS STEPPING INTO.
>> HE HAS A LOT OF THAT SMOOTHNESS AND BODY CONTROL BUT
IN A BIGGER FRAME. I HAD A CHANCE TO WATCH HIM
TWICE IN PERSON. FIRST TIME HE MADE THE GREATEST
CATCH I HAVE EVER SEEN AND A COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME.
IT WAS ON THE SIDELINE WHERE HE GOT IT WHERE YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT
IT TO COME INBOUND. I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT WHEN I
SAW IT. TWO TYPES OF PLAYS HE MADE WEEK
IN AND WEEK OUT. YOU TALK TO PEOPLE INSIDE THE
BUILDING, HE IS A WORKER LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE.
HIS DAD WAS SAYING YOU NEED TO Jim Harbaugh never traded down
in the first round once, and he
didn't do it tonight either. So the coach of the championship
college team in Michigan is
about to make his first choice as a Chargers HC. I see what you
did. Thank you brother. With the
fifth pick in the 2024 NFL draft , the Los Angeles Chargers
select Joe Ault, tackle, Notre
Dame. So they do take the left tackle from Notre Dame, even
though Rashawn Slater is their
all pro. But for the moment, let's give Joe Ault his flowers.
Well, Joe Ault went from a tight
end to a tackle within two years. Was the fifth pick in the
draft. I think he'll be okay.
Moving from left tackle to right tackle. He'll be able to pull
that off. He is extremely long.
You saw the dimensions. He's almost six foot nine. This is
Jonathan Ogden type height at
left tackle. Length and range. You can't get into his chest. He
does a great job of keeping his
chest clean. You can't overpower him that way in the run game.
For a big guy, he can roll his
hips, get low and create a lot of movement. You want to climb
to the second level, which
you're going to be doing a lot with. Jim Harbaugh in this
offensive system with the
Chargers, he does that as well. They are going to protect Justin
Herbert, and they are going to
give Justin Herbert a running game. Two areas and two issues
that have been there for the
Chargers since he entered the league. That's a fan cam right
there presented by Rocket
Mortgage, showing the moment that the Ault family is
essentially back in the national
football League. Right. So there he is Joe Ault going to Los
Angeles to protect Justin
Herbert and start road grading for Jim Harbaugh. He made some
great points, Daniel, about what
they're going to do. I think Joel, you were anticipating that
if this pick somehow that
Arizona had passed on Marvin Harrison Jr. Had gotten out that
might have been the wide
receiver that would have been discussed right there because
Jim Harbaugh saw him for those
years at Michigan. But it makes WAY.
HOW DOES THAT BLEND TOGETHER. >> HE TOLD US AT THE MEETING.
THE OFFENSIVE LINE IS PARAMOUNT. I AM INCLINED TO TAKE YOU AT
YOUR WORD. LET'S SEE IF THAT IS THE WAY
THEY GO. >> WITH THE FIFTH PICK IN THE
2024 NFL DRAFT, THE LOS ANGELES CHARGERS SELECT GEO, TACKLE,
NOTRE DAME. >> JOE AULT IS THE FIRST OFFENSE
OF LINEMAN. HE IS THE CHALK FROM THE O-LINE
GROUP. >> HE IS AN EXTREMELY SAFE
PLAYER. HE HAS SIZE, ATHLETICISM.
WHAT THEY MEAN BY RANGES THE ABILITY TO SET OUT.
FOR A TALLER CENTER, A TALLER TACKLE, HE DOES A NICE JOB OF
GETTING THE PAD LEVEL DOWN. A LOT OF TIMES THEY HAVE A HARD
TIME GETTING THE PAD LEVEL DOWN. THEY GET AFTER IT.
THEY GET THE PAD LEVEL DOWN. HE IS ONE OF THE SAFER PICKS IN
THIS DRAFT. HE IS SAYING WE ARE GOING TO
BEAT YOU UP, UP FRONT AND LET draft. This moment is. With the
sixth pick in the 2024 NFL draft
, the New York Giants select Malik Nabers, wide receiver, LSU
. So they do go wide receiver
from LSU. Just like back in the day. Odell and it is Malik
Nabers coming to the Giants fold
and bringing his remarkably dynamic style of play to the NFC
East and an offense that
currently will be quarterbacked by Drew Lock until Daniel Jones
is healthy as it currently
stands as he walks to the stage right now. I talked to Brian
Daboll before last year's draft.
I said, what do you need to get accomplished? He said, we might
be the slowest team in the
league. We've got to get faster. We've got to get more dynamic.
They made an effort with that
last year with Jalen Hyatt. Big time speed they've added and now
they get the most electrifying
wide receiver in this class. Not the most polished, but a big
play waiting to happen that can
be throwing the ball 60 yards down the field. That can be
literally handing him the ball
and watching him run 60 yards down the field. Well, you just
mentioned what they had to do
and they've got all that in terms of the speed and
everything else, the dynamic
dynamism. But here's the thing for me, Joel, it's the
competitiveness. If you've been
around Brian Daboll and been around his ball club, they
always have competitive periods,
ones versus ones and the day with a competitive thing. Who
won, who lost. He wants all of
that. That's Malik Nabers that fits Brian Daboll. Remember
Brian Daboll was in Buffalo when
they acquired Stefon Diggs. And he came out and was dynamic
right from the beginning under
Brian Daboll. That fits perfectly in terms of who they
are, who Brian Daboll is as a
head coach and what his team needs if they want to start
getting back on that mission to
try and win the NFC East, you see that competitiveness. Guys
show up with the ball in his
hands. You know when he's running, you can see just the
urgency that he has in creating
some of those big plays. DJ you've said during this project
he's got like a jet pack on his
back. I mean, that's how he plays, whether he's running
route down the field or he's got
the ball on a screen, tunnel screen and please let the Giants
and the Jets do some preseason
scrimmages because we're going to have to have a necklace off
between Leek and sauce, and
they'll go at each other every day in practice, it's called the
Snoopy Bowl every single year.
Yeah, but let him I want him to have some of those practices and
get at it. Last thing, Daniel
Jones. You can take those >> HAVE THIS TREMENDOUS SUCCESS,
AND GOING INTO MINNESOTA, WIN A PLAYOFF GAME AND THE WHEELS FALL
OFF THE BUS AFTER DANIEL JONES STRUGGLES TO THE HELP SET AND
GETS THE ACL INJURY. LET'S SEE IF THAT IS THE PICK
THAT CONTINUES TO SUPPORT DANIEL JONES IN THE QUEST TO GET BACK
TO THE RELEVANCY. ANOTHER COMPETITIVE DIVISION, AS
IT ALWAYS IS. THE PICK, THE NEW YORK GIANTS,
AT NUMBER SIX, IS READY TO BE ANNOUNCED.
>> WITH THE SIXTH PICK, THE NEW YORK GIANTS SELECT MALIKA
NEIGHBORS. WIDE RECEIVER, LSU.
>> AFTER ALL THE TALK OF DRAMA AND CHAOS, IT HAS NOT BEEN.
>> THIS GUY IS SO TALENTED. HE HAS INCREDIBLE SPEED, BUT THE
WAY HE GLIDES ON THE FIELD, TRULY SETS HIM APART.
IT DISGUISES HIS INCREDIBLE SPEED.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS A PLAYER WHERE THERE COULD BE
A LOWER CEILING WITH HIM. HE IS NOT AS POWERFUL AS MARTIN
HARRISON JR. HE HAS ELITE SPEED AND
COMPETITIVENESS AND WHAT I REALLY LOVED, IT IS A BIG WEAPON
TO WORK. THE X, THE SEA, THE SLOT.
HE CAN WORK ANY OF THOSE SLOTS. >> ONE WORD.
HE HAS ALL OF THE COMPETITIVE FIRE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR IN AN
ELITE PLAYMAKER. YOU WATCH HIM AND HE CAN RUN
EVERY ROUTE IN THE PLACE. HE IS TERRIFIC WITH THE BALL IN
HIS HAND. HE HAS THE ABILITY TO TURN THIS
GAME UP AND DOWN. THIS IS A BIG TIME PLAYMAKER.
HE CAN TURN THOSE SHORT PASSES INTO BIG GAME.
>> PUT HIM IN THE SLOT. THEY RAN THAT SLOT TO DEATH DOWN
IN DEATH VALLEY AT LSU AND HE WAS SO SUCCESSFUL ON IT.
PUT THE BALL IN HIS HANDS AND WATCH HIM.
HE JUST SHOWS UP. >> YOU LIKE THAT.
>> YOU GET THAT NOD AND GO, YOU ARE DONE.
IF YOU MISS STEP ANYTHING HE pick of this Detroit draft. With
the seventh pick in the 2024 NFL
draft by the Tennessee Titans, select JC Latham, tackle,
Alabama. Well we had tackles go
at five and seven. Not a surprise either. Spot the
Tennessee Titans. This was a
glaring need for them. Will Levis needs some help, needs
some protection. They were tied
for 28th in sacks allowed last year. Latham is a mammoth human
being played at right tackle
there. He's also played inside at guard. I believe he'll he'll
be a left tackle in the NFL.
Charles. The upside with him in terms of what he he can become
big time recruit, big time
talent. I think there's still more there for him. He's like
those things at the airport.
He's an APM automated people mover right. But here's the
other part. Bill Callahan was
the coach in Cleveland when they drafted Jedrick Wills out of
Alabama, right tackle his
college career. They converted him to left tackle. Bill
Callahan is now the offensive
line coach for the Tennessee Titans. If you're talking about
converting a guy from right
tackle to left tackle, and they were going to do it last year,
but Michael Proctor was there
and he decided to just leave JC Latham. Guess what? He's going
to make the move now under one
of the best offensive line coaches in NFL history. Well,
they needed help up front.
There's no doubt about that. This guy's an and he is athletic
and has been for a long time.
Could dunk a basketball in middle. Oh here we go. He's got
the back surfer hold on hold it.
Is it. Oh wow Raj is wincing up there. Oh my goodness okay okay
let's take a breath I think he's
okay. Looks like he's all right I don't know. He's fighting
through it. Stretching My neck's
stretching right now. You have to come out early. My next note
literally was like, can be a
little too aggressive at times. WHO IS A BIT RAW?
AN OFFENSIVE LINE AND, DO WE SEE ONE COME HERE OR DO WE GET THE
THIRD WIDE RECEIVER OR DOES THE PICK COME OUT OF LEFT FIELD?
ROGER GOODELL IS COMING OUT, GETTING READY.
>> WITH THE SEVENTH PICK, THE NFL DRAFT, THE TENNESSEE TITANS
SELECT J.T. LATHAM, TACKLE, ALABAMA.
>> YOU CALLED IT. >> HE HAS RARE SIZE.
HE HAS THE GREATEST LEAN MASS NUMBERS THEY HAVE EVER HAD FOR
AN OFFENSIVE LINE MAN. JC LATHAM IS POWERFUL.
IT DOESN'T PREVENT HIM FROM GETTING OUT, BUT WE WILL GET
BACK TO THAT IN A SECOND. THIS IS A TEAM THAT HAS BEEN
BUILT ON THE RUNNING GAME FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
THAT IS WHO THEY ARE. IF YOU PROTECT HIM WITH A
RUNNING GAME AND GOOD PASS PROTECTION, YOU ARE IN GOOD
SHAPE. HE CAN PLAY RIGHT TACKLE, BUT IF
THINGS DON'T GO WELL. >> HE IS PUTTING HIS STAMP ON
THE TEAM. THE TENNESSEE TITANS ARE STILL
GOING TO PLAY BULLY BALL. >> THERE IT IS.
THE FIRST MONSTER HUGGED OF THE NIGHT.
>> THEY CAN PLAY THAT FOOTBALL THEY WANT TO PLAY.
THEY ARE SAYING WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DOMINATE THE POINT OF
ATTACK. JC LATHAM HAD BEEN MAKING A PUSH
AND WE THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE THE FIRST ONE OFF THE BOARD.
>> HE HAS STRONG HANDS. WHEN HE GETS HIS HANDS ON YOU,
YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT GETTING AWAY.
YOU SEE HIM GET WIDE WITH THE BASE.
HE HAS THE ABILITY TO DEAL WITH PASSES.
THE RUN GAME IS WHERE HE SHINES. do this and whatever happened to
the edge rusher I thought that's
what we were going with Atlanta. Here we go. With the eighth pick
in the 2024 NFL draft the
Atlanta Falcons select Michael Penix Jr. Well there it is. Wow
Washington that is the first
surprise. Hey now of the NFL draft to say the least. The
fourth quarterback off the board
is Michael Penix Jr. He is a top ten selection. And he is going
to the place that just made a
very expensive investment in a veteran quarterback. And it's
kind of wild that Kirk Cousins
arrives in Atlanta. He signs in Atlanta. He leaves Minnesota to
go to Atlanta. Minnesota is
sticking around. And with this selection, having J.J. McCarthy
get one more pick closer to them
with the bears on the clock, the Jets after them, and there is
the Vikings. But again, placing
that aside, Michael Penix Jr is going to Atlanta. And this is a
huge arm. You see, Joe Flacco's
name on the bottom the way the ball spins out of his hand, it
is very reminiscent of Joe
Flacco. And you talk about Justin Herbert just spinning the
football. It is ridiculous with
his arm strength. This is from the Texas game attacking over
the top down the field. He can
play on top of the coverage. This was a question mark in the
Texas game. He answered it. His
ability to navigate around some pressure move around within the
pocket. Look at this placement
to Rome. Odunze down the field. Beautiful ball again. Outside
the numbers. He's fantastic.
Over the top. He's fantastic. And when you need to fit the
ball in tight windows, watch him
beat the safety with this throw again it looks like he's
throwing a Nerf ball. Yeah he
has got a ridiculous arm. Now there's injuries. That's
something that some teams were
concerned about. His four seasons at Indiana all ended in
injury. But the last two years
he's been healthy the last two years and he's played out of his
mind. But this is fascinating
because we were talking about he's a little bit older. Do you
want to get him on the field?
He's not getting on the field with Kirk Cousins in that
contract right now. Well I'll
tell you when he gets on the field. All right. You said he
throws a great deep ball I would
agree. He throws the best deep to intermediate pass in this
draft. But it's more than just a
throw. It's a pass. The ability to pass the ball with leverage
down the field. When you watch
him everything is always away from the defender. We talk about
5050 situations with wide
receivers. Well, he gives his wide receivers better odds than
that because the ball is always
in the proper spot down the field. And I think that's an
incredibly rare trait. He's got
long arms, big hands and he spins it as well as anybody.
When you just look at a guy that
takes the ball and is in the pocket and controls the game
from the pocket, there was
nobody better in this draft. ESSENTIALLY DALLAS TURNER HERE.
COULD THEY LOOK AT AND ALL OFFENSIVE LINEMAN?
I THOUGHT THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL TRADE-IN.
BYRON MURPHY IS 1 OF 1. HE IS THE ONLY DEFENSIVE TACKLE
WHO IS A DEFENSIVE PLAYMAKER IN THIS FIRST ROUND.
HE COULD BE THE PICK BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE SENSE.
>> LET'S GO BACK OUT TO DETROIT AND CHECK IN WITH ROGER GOODELL
AS WE AWAIT THE FALCON PICKED TO SEE IF THAT DOES GET THAT FIRST
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OFF THE BOARD. TURNER HAS BEEN THE MOST POPULAR
NAME ASSOCIATED WITH THE FALCONS BUT MURPHY HAS BEEN GAINING
STEAM. >> WITH THE EIGHTH PICK IN THE
NFL DRAFT, THE ATLANTA FALCONS SELECT MICHAEL PENIX.
QUARTERBACK, WASHINGTON. >> LET'S GO.
CHECK OUT THE FAN CAM. HE IS AN ATLANTA FALCONS.
THE SURPRISE OF THE DRAFT. THE FOURTH QUARTER BACKED OFF
THE BOARD TO A TEAM NOBODY EXPECTED TO TAKE THE
QUARTERBACK. >> NOBODY EXPECTED THEM TO TAKE
A QUARTERBACK IN THE TOP TEN BUT IN ATLANTA, YOU THINK ABOUT KIRK
COUSINS, YOU NEED A BIG TIME PLAYMAKER, SOMEONE WHO CAN THROW
THE BALL. NO ONE IS BETTER THROWING THE
BALL THAN MICHAEL. WE GO BACK AND WE LOOK AT THE
PLAYOFFS. WE TALK ABOUT THIS DUDE,
SURGICAL PRECISION. of the night. And it's just the
ninth overall pick with the
ninth pick in the 2024 NFL draft , the Chicago Bears select Rome,
Odunze wide receiver Washington.
So the guys who came on the same flight from Los Angeles
commercially are going to hop on
air. McCaskey to go to Chicago together. And Caleb Williams,
drafted first overall into an
offense that already had Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore, will have
Rome Odunze at his disposal this
this fall. What a windfall for the Chicago Bears. Caleb
Williams one. Rome, Odunze nine
Caleb Williams has already been throwing with Roman Downs and
Keenan Allen. Maybe he saw the
future of where this thing was going. But you talk about
transforming an offense and one
off season. I don't know if there's a bigger transformation
than the one that's taking place
in Chicago right now. Remember the discussion going in
offensive tackle. Remember
Oldyou Fasano played there with Caleb Williams in high school?
Could he come in and solidify
the tackle spot? And as Odunze NUMBER ONE OVERALL AND THE NEXT
PICK, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER SHOULD BE ABOUT SUPPORTING THE ULTIMATE
SUCCESS OF THAT YOUNG QUARTERBACK.
THIS DOES THAT. ROME ODUNZE, ARGUABLY, WHAT IS
THE BEST WIDE RECEIVER TRIO IN FOOTBALL?
>> WHAT I LOVE, HE FITS THE PROFILE THEY HAVE.
PHYSICAL PLAYMAKERS, EXPANDS THE STRIKE ZONE FOR THE QUARTERBACK
AND HE CAN PLAY EVERY POSITION ON THE PERIMETER.
IT ALLOWS THEM TO FIGURE OUT HOW HE WANTS TO GET THE LINEUP.
YOU THINK ABOUT KEENAN ALLEN BEING THERE, HOW LONG IS HE
GOING TO BE THERE? IT ALLOWS ROME ODUNZE TO START
OUT AS AN APPRENTICE BEFORE HE TAKES OVER AS THE REAL DEAL.
I LIKE WHAT THE CHICAGO BEARS ARE DOING.
>> UNDERRATED, KEENAN ALLEN COMING INTO THE LEAGUE.
ROME ODUNZE, ONE AREA OF IMPROVEMENT, FINE-TUNING.
THE FOOTWORK, WHEN HE WANTS TO, HE IS OUTSTANDING.
IT IS LEARNING TO PLAY TO HIS TOP SPEED.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT KEENAN ALLEN, HE IS ABLE TO PLAY FASTER THAN
HIS TOP SPEED. ROME CAN WORK FROM EVERY
POSITION. HE HAS AMAZING BODY CONTROL IN
THE AIR. YOU WILL ALWAYS SEE THE ARM
EXTENSION AND GOING TO CATCH THE trade. The Minnesota Vikings
moved up one spot with the Jets.
They flipped the Jets a fourth and a fifth on Saturday for the
right to move up one spot, and
we are assuming it is to take J.J. McCarthy because Michael
Penix was selected by the
Falcons about 20 minutes ago. Here's the commissioner to make
it official to help make the
Minnesota Vikings selection. We are honored to have with us the
surviving mother, brothers and
nephew of fallen hero, United States Army Sergeant Zachary
Ewing. Zachary died after a
battle with cancer, a cancer that was discovered after he was
injured during his second
deployment to Iraq. We salute him and thank his family and
taps the Tragedy Assistance
Program for survivors, which offers care to those grieving
the loss of a military loved
one. I'm now going to turn this over to Sergeant Ewing's nephew,
Asher, who will announce the
pick in honor of his uncle, Commander. Everybody okay? Great
With the 10th pick in the 2024
NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings select J.J. McCarthy,
quarterback, Michigan. And a
huge ovation from the Wolverine heavy crowd here in Detroit just
down the road. And as you can
see in Van Buren Township, Michigan, he is going to
Minnesota. And he is the
quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings, joining a room with Sam
Darnold who is signed earlier in
this off season. And a guy who I AM GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO
SERGEANT EWING'S NEPHEW, WHO WILL ANNOUNCE THE PICK IN HONOR
OF HIS UNCLE. >> WITH THE TENTH PICK IN THE
2024 NFL DRAFT, THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS SELECT J.J.
McCARTHY. >> A GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT, A GREAT
EMOTIONAL MOMENT ON THE STAGE AND INSIDE THE HOME OF J.J.
McCARTHY, THE NEW QUARTERBACK OF THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS AFTER
ALL. THE VIKINGS CREW SIT THERE AND
WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE ANTSY. LET'S MAKE SURE WE GET
McCARTHY AFTER WE LET KIRK COUSINS WALK.
>> WHERE YOU GO MATTERS. GOING TO NEW ENGLAND, THAT IS A
TOUGH REBUILD. YOU COULD GO TO THE GIAS.
THAT IS TOUGH AS WELL. THIS IS TAILOR-MADE.
THE THING THAT STANDS OUT, TEAMS LOVE THE FACT HE WAS 63 AND
THREE DATING BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL AND THROUGH COLLEGE.
HE HAS BEEN A WINNER. HE HAS GREAT COMMAND AND
CONFIDENCE. HE PUTS EVERYTHING IN HIS MEMORY
BOX. HE TRIES TO GET IT BACK SO HE
CAN RUN THE BALL OUTSIDE OF THE POCKET, SO HE HAS THAT ABILITY
TO THROW WITH ANTICIPATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND HE
IS A QUARTERBACK WHO DOES A NICE JOB OF THROWING ON THE RUN.
INCREDIBLY ACCURATE. THAT COULD BE FROM MIKE
SHANAHAN, GARY KUBIAK. HE HAS PLAYED THE PROSTYLE
OFFENSE. THIS IS THE PERFECT PICK FOR THE
MINNESOTA VIKINGS. THIS ONE MAKES SENSE.
FOR J.J. McCARTHY, WITH THE WIDE RECEIVER OUT THERE, I DON'T
KNOW IT COULD BE BETTER THAT YOU JUST PICK A QUARTERBACK BETTER
THAN THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS. >> WE HAVE SEEN THE
QUARTERBACKS.
