We're going to kind of go through the guys that,
the rumor board, I guess.
And the number one option here is Jonathan Taylor.
Nothing has happened as we're recording this.
It could happen by the time you're watching the show,
but we're still going to give you our thoughts here.
Thank
Josh, you mentioned, you know, a team like the Packers
being kind of that sneaky team to make an offer.
Like, where do you see Jonathan Taylor actually going,
if he even moves at all?
If he doesn't move, that's just a shame for him and for Colts fans.
Because I get it.
you.
Oh, we get to continue to watch him.
But you know, you will get more pieces for him
by far than anybody else that you have.
So if all of a sudden you say, oh, we're going to keep Jonathan Taylor,
but we're going to trade Daniel Jones.
So we got you a fifth round pick.
Don't you worry.
No, that's not going to be the case.
Jonathan Taylor should be a Packer or a Seahawk.
He should be one of those two spots.
I think those two would be the best fits for him.
Plus, those would really catapult either of those teams
as the team to compete with Chicago for the crown of the NFC.
Who has, but of those teams you named,
who has the stomach for that price?
Because you also got to remember,
the Colts are trying to make up for those picks
they gave up at Sauce Gardner, right?
So you're basically going to have to pay
the Sauce Gardner price.
And that's why I said, if he gets dealt.
Like, it's, you know, I know that the teams want him,
but in theory, it sounds great.
I can realistically see a trade similar
to what the Christian McCaffrey one was,
where it was something like, it was like,
well, like two seconds, a third and a fourth
or something like that, or maybe like a first.
They're going to ask for firsts.
And they should ask for firsts.
Jonathan Taylor is in his prime.
Because, I mean, if Jeffrey Simmons got two firsts,
Jonathan, I'm not, I'm not.
Jordan Davis got one.
Got a first and a second.
So.
Jonathan Taylor is worth a first and a second.
Jonathan Taylor is worth two firsts.
He's in the Jeffrey Simmons conversation
of how much of a swing he can be for your offense.
And if I'm Seattle, take the picks, man.
Take the picks.
Our defense is young.
Our running backs that failed us that we drafted.
And we know if we put...
If we put him and Charbonnet together,
we got a better version of what we took to the Super Bowl.
JSN is already paid and Darnold is paid.
And so to me, I think if you're Seattle
with the youth in that defensive side
and pretty much had all those guys, now you signed J.S.
And like you previously said, this is the finishing piece.
But the difference is the running back
as a finishing piece is never the
backbreaker financially because they don't make a lot of money.
So to me, I think I'm sorry.
I think Seattle has to pay whatever the King's ransom is.
If I'm Minnesota, I've got too many.
My major question is that quarterback.
So I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it at that price,
but I'm telling you,
I,
you see how that Colts owner behaves.
She wants retribution,
but that's all starting to fit.
He got cooked with the game on the line yesterday.
They want two first round picks
And don't you think Jonathan Taylor would love
to run behind Quentin Nelson again?
Oh yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So now that brings me to the other two pieces
that a lot of people are talking about.
Daniel Jones.
There's a lot of people say, well, they already said
that they're probably not going to trade him,
but I have to mention him anyways, because people are like,
whoa, you can trade for Daniel Jones.
That's not an upgrade.
I hate when people say this.
In what world is Daniel Jones upgrading your quarterback position?
And sure, for the Vikings, it may
be an upgrade because you have nobody.
Yeah, I was going to say,
if all the options that I mentioned before for the Vikings,
if all those go no, Daniel Jones is your last resort.
for a fifth round pick. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Yeah. They're not doing that, but they want
a real pick for that. And the fifth round pick
is not a real pick, a third day pick for
a guy who could, who was your starting quarterback.
That's embarrassing for you as an organization.
and then you go to the Josh Downs of the world,
the Garrett Wilson's of the world.
Now both teams seem pretty, I mean,
the Jets seem more hesitant. They've rebuffed a lot
a lot of interest.
Josh Downs, I feel like, is a guy that a lot of teams could use.
I feel like the Rams could really use him right now.
I think the Rams should go after him or BTJ.
But in any case, what are you guys' thoughts there?
Absolutely, Rams or Chiefs, I think,
would be great fits for Josh Downs,
Brian Thomas Jr.
And everyone's forgetting about good
old Calvin Ridley down in Tennessee.
Because, again, that's the one you'll get for the best bargain.
for the best bargain for a receiver
to just wrap it up since you've got injuries,
Again, that's better.
Who else do the Rams have at this point?
Because everyone's hurt.
Some things are in the bargain bin for a reason.
If you're the Chiefs, if you're the Chiefs.
I would call the Jets and see if they'll give me this kid
for a first-round pick, and that would give the Jets
four first-round picks in this draft.
So if I'm the Chiefs, I need to do that
because I need to save Patrick Mahomes
because he's looking shaky right now
with these liquor store wide receivers he got running around.
