00:00I believe there's only two quarterbacks worthy of a first-round grade or selection
00:03in the 2025 NFL Draft.
00:06The oddsmakers say there will be three going in the first round.
00:10Jalen Milrow still set to attend the NFL Draft in Green Bay later this week,
00:15a plus-130 price.
00:17DRS, how many quarterbacks go in round number one?
00:21We're getting to at least three.
00:22I do believe that.
00:23And again, it all matters in the late first rounds
00:25because the reason why it's a little bit overloaded is
00:28it's not just the premise that quarterbacks get overdrafted.
00:30They do because you don't have a good quarterback.
00:32You're always reaching for a quarterback.
00:34That's what happens.
00:35But the difference between we could have, let's just say, a couple second-round grades.
00:39Well, they get busted up the first-round grades automatically
00:41because you get the extra year where it's like, you know what?
00:44He might be a little bit more of a project.
00:45We could sit him on the bench here.
00:46We control his rights for longer.
00:48So why would I wait till pick 38 when I can just trade up to pick 31 or 32?
00:52I'll have to spend some capital but get an entire extra year of control over that quarterback
00:57to see if he truly can be our franchise guy.
00:59That's why we take a look at the guys and say, well, they're not really first-round grades.
01:02It doesn't matter.
01:03The extra year sort of bumps that up.
01:05If you had no restrictions and everybody, Ben, was slotted with a five-year contract
01:09from round one to round seven, you wouldn't see those trade-ups into the first round.
01:13You would just wait to get them in the second round, lower pay slot, and be fine with that.
01:16But that's why I think we're going to have multiple quarterbacks outside just the top two
01:19we think are going.
01:20I do think there's going to be at least three quarterbacks taken in the first round,
01:24not because they deserve to be a first round or have a first-round grade on them, per se,
01:28but the fact that you get the extra year of control, somebody's going to slide into one
01:31of those 30, 31, or 32 slots and grab a quarterback.
