00:00How in God's name are they going to draft a kid, nine, that has no arm in the first round of the NFL, the National Football League?
00:07You're kidding me, right?
00:09That they're going to draft some kid with no arm in that ninth pick and give him hundreds of millions of dollars?
00:15I'm going to have a stroke over here.
00:18No, I can't imagine it happening.
00:21But you started talking about Pittsburgh, and you started talking about Pittsburgh picking.
00:26You're talking about Shadur there, right?
00:27You're not talking about Dart there, are you?
00:29I'm talking about Dart earlier.
00:31There's talk of him going to the Saints, and then there's talk of this kid Sanders, and he doesn't have an arm either.
00:38It's all amazing to see that this draft, this quarterback draft, as we talked at the Super Bowl a little bit about it, it drops way off.
00:46Who is the second, or who is the third, quite honestly?
00:49I do believe Shadur is the second, Scotty.
00:51I really do.
00:52Wherever that is, there's a quarterback tax out there, and I know that bothers all of us, right?
00:57How far do you go up?
00:58I just feel like people are going to be trying to move into the back end of that first round a little bit, even with the uncertainties of this quarterback group.
01:06I just feel like in my bones that that's what's going to happen.
01:09But the Pittsburgh situation, if there's one coach out there that I think can really embrace Shadur Sanders and Coe, I believe it's your team.
01:19I know you don't want to hear that.
01:21I mean, so you think Tomlin is the guy to bring this kid back down to earth because there's been all this negativity about him, and his cockiness, and his showboating, and all this other stuff, and that he doesn't, he's not a good quarterback.
01:37In the last few days, this kid has taken a beating.
01:39Do you think that's fair?
01:43I don't, I mean, look, he has, he has positives, and he has his challenges like every quarterback does, right?
01:48When you're talking about a guy, remember this.
01:51When we drafted Julio Jones, this is way back, getting retro on you here.
01:55But when we drafted Julio Jones, one of the deciding factors was when Nick Saban told me, Thomas, he is unaffected.
02:02There is a positive side to Shadur Sanders where he is unaffected.
02:07He's not, he's not, he's not like run roughshy by the pomp and circumstance of everything, which I think is a positive, along with the fact that he has good accuracy, Scotty.
02:16You know, he's not the most mobile guy.
02:17Of course, there are things they're going to have to work on.
02:19They've got to put the right people around him to help him thrive.
02:22I'm a big believer, and I've told you this before, I like playing a quarterback out the gate.
02:28I don't, and I know they acquired, and I understand, you know, what they acquired there, and they have a free agent there to be working with for the time being when they get a young quarterback to grow there.
02:38But I just, I think you need to play a quarterback early.
02:41You need to surround him with the right people and grow with the darn guy.
