Back-to-back years. They were starting quarterbacks and
Heisman Trophy winners and the first overall pick in the draft
Mayfield of the Browns, calamari to the Cardinals. They
both been in the news recently. So we decided we would do
a draft that they have the best Oklahoma players.
Currently in the National Football League Chris. You've
got a trivia question for me. All right, you ready? I think
you're going to know this one. What Oklahoma player?
Not just the first overall pick in the draft, but was also
the first ever pick. For his franchise.
Think about this.
Don't look at your computer first overall. Diamond. Yeah,
they were. I saw him. Yeah,
1976. Yeah. Bay Buccaneers. Yeah,
there is blue. I thought you'd get that.
Look at that. He's trying to get Phil.
Phil must have hands it off there.
That's not Phil. That's Brad Van Pelt. No, that's that's
know. It says, SI MMS, they had another quarterback. Now, I'm
most looking at the tackle. I thought the tackle is never
hang. Yeah, why would Brad Van? Pelt have been on the
field, right? Playing defense while the Buccaneers are
playing defense? Never mind. But remember they're well and
he Number 10, not 11. Year was Sims back there? Yeah. All
right,
boys, I guess I got to go collar. Murray. Let's go with calamari
calamari.
All right, Kyle Emery by you. I get that Lancer. Good one. I'm
going to go with Trent Williams first-ballot hall-of-famer.
Best apple and football. Have gone with him, huh? Yeah.
Wow. Yeah.
Now, it gets a little more difficult. Now.
We got five minutes so we can take our time. I can slowly let
it breathe, baby. It's Oklahoma. I hate this. Cool, by
the way, just so you know if we have time to breathe here.
I mean, I hate them because they own me in college,
you know, I mean, my Junior and Senior year, I started those
games, the Texas fans,
the Texas fans blame me for my sophomore year loss where I got
in the game and we were down, Twenty Eight, nothing, but they
don't want to put that on Major Applewhite, poor him. But yeah,
so move they dominated us and am, I mean they hurt
my draft stock. I'm in,
we were to they were three, we were one. They were two. They
beat us both times that I'm songs in my head there fight
song.
It sounds like the only thing that would have made it worse
is if Kyle Boller was their quarterback. Ha ha. Yeah,
right. There's Royal this role this one more time. Yeah. I'm
good.
Roy Williams. Superman comes. I mean, what could anyone have
done that and it was the perfect angle to hit
a left-handed quarterback. It was perfect. Yeah. He's perfect.
Best college player. I played against definitely, he was
amazing And he
as I've told you before he did that to me earlier in
the quarter and I ran up the middle for like 25. Five yards and
the legend is that the coaches told them when they called The
Blitz, don't dive. Don't do what you did again.
Mike. What's going to be so great about that play. This is
where so crazy about football. As I have my Roy Williams,
the receiver who's a top ten pick in the NFL draft. I'm throwing
him the ball because they blessed. It's one on one out
there.
So it's like going to be one of those where if I can get it out
there fast and then get it, he can make a guy Miss and it's
going to be watch out. And of course, that's not what
happened.
So, yeah. Now,
one of those days, one of these days, they're going to build
a statue of that moment. You're going to be part of a statue.
I'm in the Hall of Fame more than anybody in. Oklahoma. I'm
with there's more pictures of me than anybody.
Alright? Now, we've filled so we can get back to the draft.
I'll go see deal am. Just based on number one, what he's done
in number two, when I think he's going to do now that
Amari Cooper is gone and CD land becomes the number one,
receiver for the Dallas Cowboys. I have a feeling his
numbers are going to explode. Yeah. And
look a lot of great players from Oklahoma, but I think
I think it's CD lamb on the rise for the Cowboys this year.
Yeah, no defensive players from Oklahoma. That's the one thing
you've realized that this this draft. It's it. The Big 12.
They don't believe in
defense. Certainly. You're such a
w**** derp of skill position, guys. How dare you? Yes, you're
such a hoarder. All right, I'm going I got the best left
tackle football now. I think I'm going to add the best right
tackle to my team. I'm gonna go
Lane Johnson. I mean, I am Lynn Johnson is just, he is, he's
definitely in the conversation for top two or three right?
Tackle in the game.
He's phenomenal, it really is. And,
yeah, I'll go with him.
I guess. I got to go Joe Mixon,
Joe Mixon. I'm going to take another skill position players.
Yeah. I'm going to be a w****
derp. I'm glad. I'm glad we straighten that out. First
time. You talked about Jon Gruden being a quarterback
w****
without the dirt on the end. So I'm glad we've got that all
figured out, but I'll go Joe Mixon. Look, the key factor in
that Bangles offense, and I think underrated because we
get, so, Caught up with Joe burrow
and Jamar Chase and what the offense can do
from a passing standpoint, but
you know, they had a couple of games last year where they went
heavy with Joe Mixon and he had huge performance. Yeah, and
imagine if they could get an old line that can really open
up holes on a consistent basis. And yes, that's its can make
Cincinnati dangerous as they have.
They weren't able to rely
on that aspect of their game against the better teams in
football. So maybe this year, they can do that with some of
the improvements on the o-line. All right.
Damn man. Mark Andrews is on the Board. Wow! Creed Humphrey.
Arguably already. The best center in football. His
teammate makers on the board. I know that's cruel mall. I'm
going big boys here. That's the big boy draft for Chris, and
I'm going with my really, maybe my favorite left tackle in
football. Is my
Orlando Brown. I'm going with him. I am,
I love Orlando Brown.
I mean, he's the Stay Puft, Marshmallow, Man, but he's got
like ballerina feet and I love it. So, yes, I'll go with him
protecting Patrick Mahomes. He had a good year last. Sheer
better than what the stats are. The grading. Say
Mahomes is, got to help him out in the pocket. A little bit
interesting times coming for Oklahoma to, with the move to
the SCC. I can Riley, gone is the head coach, and the whole
ni L Dynamic. I think the bigger the city,
the bigger the market, the greater the opportunities to
shake money out of the pockets of people in the area who have
money. And I know for established schools. You've got
a bigger Alumni network. It's a greater.
Of private. It's going to change everything. I
it all happened. So fast last year, I don't think we had
a chance to really appreciate it. But the landscape of college
football and college sports General is going to change
dramatically. Yeah, dramatically, right. And some
of these programs that are
in or near big cities are going to have a chance to really cash
in because the more money, you can raise the more money. They
can funnel to the players. The better, the players they can
get no doubt in Texas and Oklahoma. They're going to be
good at that. They're going to be good as it got strong alumni
basis and they'll Won't take them long to infuse in the SEC
and
get up to speed and that way of life. They got to adjust their
team's. I mean, as you are seeing here, Oklahoma, there's
no defensive players in the Big 12. There's not a lot in
the draft ever either and the SEC is full of them, but
they'll adjust, there's a lot of talent in both states to be
had there.
