All right. Those are all the trades that happen ten in all
on, Deadline
deal day. Let's do a draft of the biggest winners at
the trade deadline. Anyone, you want, anyone, anyone
any way? You want to go player team coach, whoever go, you're
up,
I'm gonna go with, you know, the Ravens and Ravenswood
the row, Quan Smith deal. I think that's when I look at you, just
go to win, win for both there. That's where I love it. I mean,
in row, Quan in a place that values linebackers gonna get
paid the money. He wants to get let alone. Hey, it's
the Ravens.
We know the defense is coming along, it's going in the right
direction, they continue to get better but to me him with
Patrick Queen, they can stop the run, pretty good. Now he
gets they get to run around and
make tackles everywhere.
And you couple that with Kyle Hamilton, as a young guy,
Marcus Williams will be back Marlon, Humphrey. I mean they
got some things working there in Baltimore.
I think it helps them not only this year but you know, into
the future. That's why I love it.
10 deals done yesterday, were twelve names on that list
though because we included some of the others that happened
earlier this week. TJ Hawkinson is my first pick. He goes from
a one-in-six
team to a six in one team. Yeah hello
right. Talk about getting the ultimate reprieve. He's now
on a real Contender, he was lost and
a wasteland that he's been part of ever since he arrived
in the first round of the draft, a few years back so he's
a huge winner and the Vikings. Is also they get a replacement
for Smith. A guy that they can build around at the position
and a guy who just
he just
he's good. I mean you can't have enough good players and
the guy is good hashtag analytics. Yeah
well yeah he is he is good, there's no doubt and he fits
the style of football they want to play there so that's where
it's it all matches up,
you know. I'm going to go to one, then
didn't happen here recently, but I still think it's a game
changer. I'm going to, I'm going to
Jimmy Garoppolo and one of the biggest winners because of
the the Christian McCaffrey trade, am I allowed to do that? Is
that is that not classified? As if you want? Okay good whatever
you want. He's a winner in this to me.
No. Again we always talk about the 49ers and receivers and all
that. Well you know you get a receiver everybody. Then puts
the spotlight back on Jimmy G and it's like oh Kenny you
know, take advantage of that. And can he hit him when he's
open?
This is just fits in the Wheelhouse. So
you know protecting him,
you know, having it off. Offense that fits how he plays,
you know, Shanahan's ability to play
McCaffrey and Debo Samuel off of each other and then use them as
you know decoys at times to get the ball to kidal and I youkai
just look at that one to go. I look at the 49ers as a Super
Bowl team and I think that's one that's really going to help
their offense out when it's all said and done.
But they gave up a two or three or four and a five. Yeah, him.
And those four picks could have become other contributors and
if McCaffrey gets injured and Between now, and you're right
here, gonna be a lot. Less terrible train is off
the tracks and Susanna McCaffrey thing. We're not trying
to jinx him. It's the nature of the position
and that's relevant Chris, because
one of the things making the rounds today is, hey, look what
the Dolphins did with the three first-round picks, they got.
From the 49ers as part of the trail ants package and it
allowed them to get Jill and water allowed them to get Tyree
kill. A lot of them to get Bradley chub.
I'm a big believer in maximizing, your players and
not putting too many eggs in one basket. I'm going to say
Bears because they've been able to
Loki tank by dumping Robert Quinn and roll Quinn Smith.
They're not trying to win every single game. Now they're easing
in To a better bat, a draft position
and then they get Chase Claypool too.
To reverse the perception their tank. And even though claypole
isn't a moved, make them better this year and at least erases
The Superficial sense. They're not trying again,
he's not going to make a difference this year.
This is a 2023 and Beyond Type move for the Bears. Yeah,
I that's right. I love it too. And again it's one wearing, we
knew they're going to drop the receiver in the draft and they
just went. Let's not play the lottery of oh we think
the dry we draft is going to be better
like aka the Titans would Trail.
Burke over AJ Brown.
They're just gonna go. No, we know this guy's freaky
and we know what he is, and that's where I do like it.
All right. One more round. The biggest winners at the trade
deadline. Christopher, would he have? Well, the Dolphins, it's
hard. Not to go with the dolphins,
you know? It's a roster that we know is extremely impressive
and they're a team that,
you know, looks like they're the part
that have three losses, two of them and O'er of course,
without two or all three or without to it. So, So they're
looking at themselves going down, we're really good here.
We're going to make something happen.
Pass rushers in issue,
Bradley chub now, they get him. Maybe they don't have to be as
crazy and overly aggressive on defense. Like we've seen them
get burned with and the fact that they get Jeff Wilson
I know a guy that
you know that that fits Mike McDaniels and his offense
and I think fits you know how they want their running backs
to run so now they can go Mode. Start to Jeff Wilson and said
of Chase Edmunds, who I don't think was their cup of tea
total. They're so
they covered two holes there and they're on their team
yesterday. A great job by them.
The the boring pick here is the bills. They they upgraded their
running back position. They get in a heme Hines. They move Zack
Moss, conditional sixth-round pick. They didn't get much to
get better position where they, they perceived
to have a need, the more interesting pick and this is
kind of outside the box.
I'd say the Rams were winners because they weren't able to
make any deals. We know they were Stood, they know that
the F them picks machine
was revved up. I think it's smart at the end of the day
that it didn't happen because
I don't think it's going to make a difference in this year.
So hold back some of your picks Rams. You got to build a team
in the future. You can't just go all in in a year where it's
not going to make a die. I agree with you that I think it
was good. That the Rams
refrained from making them. They weren't a player away.
They're not a player away to your point. That's what you're
saying. There's a bunch of players they need and that one
guy wasn't going to fix it.
That's it for today. Have a great Wednesday. We'll see you
tomorrow. See you.
