00:00of text messages one for you shy i'm following up on the discussion that we had
00:05uh as a part of your lead i'll read it verbatim oh a running back might last five years in the
00:14league if lucky why waste the number four pick on a running back um i don't think they only last
00:20five years i mean saquon barkley's on his second contract that means he's lasted five years and
00:25he's going real strong derrick henry derrick henry is in into his 30s i mean look some guys are just
00:32built different and i i just think ashton jenthy is one of those guys i just i mean the guy led the
00:39nation in yards after contact he not only did he have 2600 yards rushing after contact last year in
00:48college football he had 1900 yards rushing this guy is just awesome i don't know what it is against
00:54ohio state was that ohio state who do they play in the playoff they play oregon right or over 100
01:00yards yeah he was not non-factor in that game entire non-factor well the first oregon game you
01:05almost rushed for 200 i think in a lot of cases experience informs the decisions that you make
01:11as you go through life right and certainly mike vrabel had success with an extraordinary running
01:17back right so i maybe maybe that's why there's smoke there there's maybe there is fire around
01:24that smoke that they're suddenly interested in taking him in number four and you can get away
01:29with a guy like him especially like when you look at the running backs that are successful other than
01:35mcafree excuse me you can get away with those having a good running back when you have a quarterback
01:41that you can sprinkle in some runs so like if you look at saquon barkley you bring up jalen hurts
01:47so you have to defend for the quarterback as well same with derrick henry and lamar jackson so if you
01:53can say hey we're going to utilize drake may's legs so not only you're going to have to defend drake may
01:59in the running game but you're also going to have to defend uh ashton jenty that's going to make things
02:05easier for jenty because they're not just going to be able to key on him
02:09i just would ask what team like first round running backs that helped lead a team to a super
02:15bowl like oh to a super bowl like i just think about that position it's a luxury like i think
02:20it'd be great i'm sure first round when you look at the talent level of the rest of the players in
02:24the draft i would rather just get the best player available than like take a random swing on a guy
02:30well i would give you the first you said first round running backs that led their team to a super
02:34shaquan barkley right but he was not that's not the team he was drafted by is what i'm talking
02:39about like on the team that you're on the team they've been drafted by because you're you know
02:44the purpose is to draft them and turn them into a champion yeah and you just you know you look at
02:49a guy like sony michelle but the patriots would have won without sony michelle i mean any other
02:52running back could have done that it's just if you have questions on will campbell like if you trade
02:56for colton miller you have your left tackle so you're not drafting a guard at four and then if you
03:01have questions on tet mcmillan or you have questions on jalen walker you just take the
03:06best player on the board and it's ashton genti right i'm just looking at guys like naji harris
03:11travis etienne like i just i don't see it i don't see the guy that's gonna be so much better than
03:17those two guys he's so much better than bijon robinson i think he's better than bijon robinson
03:21yes he's pretty good bijon robinson so much better i don't think so why i wouldn't say like so much
03:27better but like i think he's i think he is much better yes bijon robinson's good though so if you
03:31had a guy like bijon robinson who plays for the atlanta falcons and he went in the top 10 i believe
03:36he went seven uh i think when you look at this it took to kind of like all right if shine wants to go
03:43with trading for the left tackle now if you're sitting there at number four and we're saying
03:47travis hunter and abdul kata are gone are both gone yep i i guess i could live with that i mean me
03:53personally i i could live with that i like tyler warren i i mean i just want to get yeah you have
04:00been all over them drafting yeah then i would drop down a little bit to get tyler warren pick up an
04:05extra draft but i i don't know it just seems like the last 24 hours that's what you're hearing right
04:12but you're gonna have to get a skill player right so let's say they go the shine route and they trade
04:16for that offensive lineman at number four you're either gonna go wide receiver you're gonna go
04:22running back or you would go to you're gonna have to go offensive skill player and so out of
04:27the offensive skill players maybe sean's right ashton genti might be the best available one but
04:32even if we were we were we were to redraft the 2018 draft you would have said the giants would
04:37have been far better off taking josh allen over saquon barkley even though saquon barkley's had a
04:42probably statistical better nfl career yeah yeah but you don't need the quarterback we're talking about
04:47you're there at number four you you got your tackle what do you take if you're there at number
04:53four and shy and you you know great you brought this up and i hadn't heard it that they're interested
04:57in genti what would you take you take genti do you take tetaroa mcmillan do you take my guy tyler
05:05warren so i think you would take and if you are looking at skill plays he's probably the best
05:10available skill player left this is david hello david hi good morning guys great show as always
05:16thank you so i think we're all about looking the power of a running back marcus allen on his second
05:23year right the first second year okay went to the super bowl so don't dismiss a good running back
05:29maybe not the first year yeah i mean was that was that was that before or after he smashed oj's wife
05:37good question okay i mean walter payton i think i think overall curtis's point is generally right
05:46it's just with this draft and you have to take every draft on a case-by-case basis like
05:50there's just i don't think there's a better player to take i would be fine with trading down if you
05:56would rather do that i'm okay with that but if you're sitting at four i think you just take the
06:00best player available if you've already traded for your left tackle and the running backs are starting to
06:05uh come back when you start to look at value of having a really good so you're starting to see
06:14a lot of teams if one guy is like legit like we brought up bijon robinson they're starting to
06:20utilize their top 10 picks on running backs all right
06:23that there's even like a lot of teams that I got they're not um kind of igna where we're sad things
06:29all right
06:31just SERVE
06:32so
06:33because feel like you'll be like right in the 90s
06:37this that is a sore one you want or anything
06:39and does it just make sense to to get a good game
06:43you want to make sure if some bén someone else's way
