What is going on it's Alex coming back at you with another video and today we're gonna be breaking
down the newest trade in the NFL. Matt Judon going to the New England Patriots for a third round pick.
Now this video we're going to be discussing the trade and its compensation, who won the trade,
but most importantly this is going to be developing into my deep dive series. I dropped
my Patriots and my Falcons videos so what we're going to be doing is evaluating the defenses
but we're going to be modifying the records predictions that have already been put in.
It might not change drastically, hint hint, I love Matt Judon he's going to add a game,
lose a game here and there, but for both these teams there's not very many super contentious
games but I think for the Falcons we might be seeing some shifts there. So super excited for
that again we're going to be reviewing the rosters in terms of the defenses for both teams as well
as revamping a records prediction so it's all going to be encapsulated in this video so stay
tuned for that. If you are new feel free to like comment subscribe do this stuff all the time going
to be getting content out pretty much every single day so super excited for that. Use the link tree to
get involved everywhere else. If you love the draft you need to follow my twitter because I post all
22 tape there all the time and then that evolves into content that I make an analysis I put on
this show so super exciting there we've got a couple actually we we definitely have one confirmed
but we actually might have a second top tier interview coming in for guys who are in my top
32 overall super excited for that as well. Use that underdog fantasy link because I they actually
have it for the season for NCAA they actually have like higher or lower and they're like really
really good like very like six out of the eight I chose I'm pretty much guaranteed on and that
instantly gets my money back so do it as soon as you can because that's great and then you get
$250 in bonus cash up to when you use that link so just go to link tree click that top link it
does all the work for you let's do it let's get right into this but speaking about this trade
a third round pick so I think it's a win for both sides maybe I think New England could have
squeezed out a second because Matt Judone is a damn damn good player he does not have a solidified
contract in place that might be one of the reasons why Atlanta doesn't have boatloads of cash to be
giving because they gave boatloads of cash to Kirk now I'm not saying like they're completely
tapped out of cash that's not true but there's a certain point when you start putting too many
dollars into too few places the team could get a little bit uneasy in terms of the balance so
it is what it is but I think it's great for Atlanta because they ended up taking their
first pick and passing on a pass rusher to go for a quarterback to sit and develop in a time where I
think they should be trying to win now this move confirms that that's what they probably should
have done but Michael Pennix we're gonna leave it as is we're gonna assume that that was a pick
that should have been made it wasn't but it still like at least they ended up getting their pass
rusher I still think they need to get a corner but we'll talk about the defenses in a second
are the Patriots again make a squeeze out that second round pick but be happy for Matt honestly
respect to this organization Matt deserves to be able to compete for a championship he's a class
act dude I haven't really seen him be a genuine douche nozzle he's been a leader on the team
and you guys did what's right for him you're in a developing phase and he wants a new contract he
wants to be able to compete for a Super Bowl and you're also sending him to the NFC so you're going
to be giving him a great opportunity to try to compete for the NFC with a rising team and he
actually gets to be able to be in a situation that's best for him and you guys get your
developing capital with that third round pick because third round picks honestly matter so
much more to these teams that are rebuilding because that's where you get your Caden Wallace
that could end up being your star tackle the future whereas a team that is ready to win now
that's kind of like depth in case of injury which is still super crucial but when you're talking
about a true starter like Matt Judon it works for both teams in terms of the vision so super
excited for that let's talk about the impact in terms of how this affects New England's defense
and it sucks because obviously going from Matt Judon to Anthony Jennings it's not like Anthony
Jennings is a bum you guys signed to what a three-year contract at like four million a year
like it's not like he's an absolute bum here but he is listed as the wheel linebacker per our lads
at the moment if things change things change however you know you have them for multiple
years now and Anthony Jennings is not a bum you don't pay a bum four million dollars a year
so it was certainly within the vision they did their risk analysis and they brought him on in
this past offseason for this specific reason so I don't think it massively hurts you I think it's
still like it's obviously a vacancy you went from a B to a B minus but like you still have many many
many pieces that can contribute and if you want to see a full breakdown of the defense outside of
Matt Judon part that I just talked about go to that original video where I actually broke down
the draft class the offense the defense and did the original record's prediction but this is solely
to really focus on the Matt Judon part but let's talk about the Falcons so Falcons by adding Matt
Judon technically he is listed above Arnold Ebiketti you could add him to that rotation
for I boost you from a B plus to an A minus easily I really like the edge core the way it is now
compared to what it was I think it is a massive boost not the biggest guy for
Alford or Hughes in the long run but I do like Clark Phillips being there not the biggest guy
on Richie Grant either DeMarco Hellam's on PUP at the moment so you know I do have my concerns here
and there but when you're looking at this team holistically their biggest gap was either corner
or edge rusher and they kind of work hand in hand if you have a good pass rush you help out the
you have good corners you could also help out the pass rush so I think that it's more translatable
to get a really solid pass rusher to help out the corners especially when you got some talented
corners like Clark Phillips sitting there who could play probably both nickel as well as boundary
corner so I really do like the move like it's definitely going to improve the team and let's
see actually how this ends up translating again if you guys want to see a full evaluation of the
defense minus Matt Judon go check out the video I dropped literally this week perfect timing right
but let's get on into it let's get that record records prediction going spoiler alert we already
have these records predictions in from my other videos so I guess you didn't really need to see
that part of those videos but I still think the analysis is really much more in depth over there
this was just definitely focusing on the Matt Judon aspect of things but the key is not we're
going to go over game by game the key is in the games where it is rolling the dice are we able to
flip some games here that's the big key because you're not going to be losing games we're going
to be doing New England as well key for that as well unfortunately maybe I should have started
out that way so we ended on a high note with the Falcons but you know it is what it is I started
off with the Patriots will end off with Patriots too when it comes to week number six you're coming
off a mini by I really like Carolina however I do think this does make that type of impact
the offensive line I don't trust for Carolina especially now that Matt Judon's in the division
do I think Matt Judon is like a top five edge rusher in the NFL no but I do think that it is
a marginal increase that is enough to overwhelm the Panthers here so you will also be seeing the
Panthers dropping to 6 and 11 so I like the Panthers but I do have my issues Charles Cross
had some issues man I certainly believe that if he faces Matt Judon especially Abe Lucas as well
both those guys have had their troubles this could end up being flipped for a Falcons victory
I'll leave it as is hoping that those tackles end up well Abe Lucas get healthy first but George
Fant theoretically is better statistically keep that in mind if you guys can't tell I was great
preparing to do a Seahawks video today but I do think that this is a game that I will leave
but it's certainly one that you could flip as well on the Buccaneers I'm gonna leave it split
this is one of the teams actually has a really good offensive line it is certainly one where
you can debate it but I do think in division splitting is you know pretty normal especially
when you they still have actually a relatively solid offensive line the offense isn't the problem
of the Buccaneers it's more so the defense that I have my concerns with and I mean I like the pieces
on your defense it's just not the same defense this game right here it's flipped I'm sorry Broncos
fans I mean you're dropped to 3 and 14 but I don't think you guys are gonna say that's too crazy
it's just gonna be one of those years and you know it sucks it really does suck but I think
that's where it's at I'm losing to the Raiders I think that's fine the Raiders are a gritty ass
but I think I'm very comfortable leaving it as is leaving y'all 12 and 5 I don't think that
unfortunately you are the quality of team that 12 and 5 like truly suggest because you do have
some easier opponents on in your own division however I do think this is a 10 to 11 win team
in most divisions it doesn't sound like a lot but every game really does matter and I feel like the
schedule is relatively cake apart from a couple early games so very excited about that for you
guys but let's end off on a relatively more pessimistic note the New England Patriots you
know are there any games that we won that we will be flipping Miami in New England they can they can
joust at each other I'm perfectly fine leaving that as is I don't think you're gonna beat the
Jets I don't I don't trust that I know this sounds crazy because you guys are probably like what the
but I think I will be flipping that Jets game I it just it doesn't make any sense they have a top
tier offensive line comparatively to your defensive line and to be fair you guys actually don't have
bad players but the Jets are just a superpower team they had to lose to somebody in like Matt
Judon could have been the x-factor there but removing him that just makes it very very difficult
I mean theoretically I'm definitely not changing this game I was actually
believing that I would flip it in your favor if this were pre-selected for the Cardinals but
I really like how that is honestly I do think Buffalo could be resting their starters in week
18 they could be for that reason I actually like to lean for more optimism I'm actually keeping
your record the same and telling the bills kind of the F off but like we'll see what when all
is said and done the majority like the most likely solution is that you're 2 and 15 but
we're gonna leave it at 3 and 14 RNG does happen it's just you guys got a lot of growing pains
and you lost one of your main pieces on defense especially your key veteran new leadership new
quarterbacking especially with Drake May probably going to need some more development in the fact
that you're not using him in the preseason like hello like like dude having the guys throw two
screen passes is not going to get him ready for full contact and full speed so hopefully
those practices and maybe increased usage as preseason goes on allows you to get a little
bit more juice but you have a tough ass schedule too you really do so that's going to be the video
I know kind of sucks to end on that note let's end on the positive note let's let's end on the
positive note um Falcons we'll leave it there thank you so much for watching love y'all see
the far side peace
