00:00Giants have signed Jameis Winston, Russell Wilson.
00:03He says if they like Shudderer Sanders, they'll still take him at three.
00:06So maybe that answers the question, Keith.
00:09But the Giants signed Russ Wilson yesterday.
00:11They have a competent-ish starter at quarterback and backup in Jameis Winston.
00:17The Patriots signed Stefon Diggs yesterday.
00:21So they have their number one receiver, if not an NFL number one.
00:24I'm skeptical about that.
00:26But they get certainly their best receiver.
00:29How do those moves in concert change the Patriots' approach at pick four?
00:33So I'm with Schefter on this one.
00:34I think the Giants definitely could still take a quarterback.
00:37We might be in the same situation.
00:39Because they just grabbed Russell Wilson now, like two weeks into free agency.
00:44They grabbed Jameis Winston before.
00:46Both guys at this stage of their career are kind of fringe starters, kind of holdover
00:51starters until the rookie is ready.
00:54And so especially if they don't think Shudderer Sanders is a week one starter, why not get
00:58him?
00:59But the Giants, who's your starter in 2026?
01:01You don't know.
01:02Yeah, probably not on the roster as of today.
01:04I think you could still get one.
01:07But also I guess it allows them to say, hey, maybe we just love Travis Hunter or Abdul
01:11Carter.
01:12We love them so much.
01:13We can go out and play a game.
01:14And we can kind of patchwork it.
01:15Now the thing with them is, they're not like a playoff team or even a fringe playoff team
01:20the way that it is.
01:21So they really need to think more long term.
01:24I think the Patriots, and this is a question that a lot of people were asking, is just
01:27real quick.
01:28The one thing it allows the Giants to do is say, you know what?
01:31We like Shudderer Sanders.
01:32We don't love him.
01:33Maybe we won't be great this year.
01:35We'll draft high next year.
01:36Next year's the year we draft our quarterback like it does allow them to do that.
01:39But if they love Shudderer Sanders, I still think they could take him to three.
01:42They can also circle back and take Jalen Milrow or one of those project quarterbacks in the
01:46later rounds, too.
01:47They could.
01:48I mean, if they grade those guys similarly, I just think last year what the Falcons did
01:51and it kind of blew up on him because Kirk Cousins just ended up being bad.
01:55But think about Kirk Cousins at this time last year was looked upon much higher than
02:00either Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston, and he got like ten times the money that those
02:05guys got, and they still drafted Penix in the top ten.
02:08So I always think quarterbacks get way overdrafted and teams go crazy for quarterbacks come draft
02:13time.
02:14So I think that they could.
02:15As for Steph Diggs on the Patriots, I don't think that stops them from drafting Travis
02:20Hunter because of the unique prospect that he is.
02:22It takes some of the pressure off forcing him to offense, though.
02:26Yes.
02:27You know, so to me, I would take Hunter either way if he's there.
02:30And you know, if it's him and Carter, I want Carter.
02:33If they're both gone, I want Gente.
02:35But I think Hunter is the most realistic at four.
02:37It takes the pressure off.
02:39He needs to be a receiver and it allows them to say, let's bring him in and see what he
02:43could do.
02:44Yeah.
02:45And let's split time and then we'll have him go where he fits, not where we need him.
02:49But I think that's important.
02:51I agree.
02:52I want him to try to play both ways, right?
02:54I don't want him to be just one side.
02:56And yeah, I guess you're right.
02:57If they don't have Steph Diggs, maybe they feel like that needs to be more of the focus.
03:01I always thought what would make him the best receiver, at least early in his career, possible
03:05would be having a guy better than him on the field.
03:07Like, you can't just be like, hey, you're the best guy we have.
03:10Also you're trying to play defense, whereas if he's out there and he's sort of the number
03:14two receiver, he's not playing every single snap, so maybe not like a prototypical two,
03:18but you have digs and then you can kind of work those other guys in.
03:22I think that's great.
03:23Now, I know some theorize that the Patriots saw the Russell Wilson signing and were like,
03:30Travis Hunter's not going to be there.
03:32I don't think that.
03:33I think the chances are the same, honestly.
03:36I think they're the same.
03:38They might still take Sanders.
03:40They may not.
03:41You know, Tennessee, I think everybody already has like Pencilton for Cam Ward, but the Browns
03:46should go quarterback, but they may not.
03:48They may go Carter to kind of pair him up with Miles Garrett.
03:50Maybe they surprise people and go with Travis Hunter themselves.
03:53The other way to look at it, Browns missed out on Russell Wilson, which makes them more
03:56likely to take a quarterback.
03:57So yeah, I mean, I could see it going that way as well.
04:00Bottom line, I mean, the Giants may not draft a quarterback, but I don't think this prevents
04:04them from taking Shadur Sanders, and you're hoping Travis Hunter drops to the pads if
04:08they get him.
04:09I think the pressure's off to force him at wide receiver, and I think that's a relevant
04:14move about Steph Diggs.
04:15You guys can jump in.
04:16617-779-7937.
04:17Alex is in New Hampshire.
04:20What's up, Alex?
04:21Hey, how's it going?
04:22I love the show.
04:23As always, I just have a tiny bone to pick with Keith.
04:26Yes.
04:27What do you got?
04:28Oh, boy.
04:29And I mean, no, I love the fact that we got Diggs.
04:33He is by far our number one wide receiver, and that's great.
04:36But I do hear you keep mentioning Kendrick Bourne.
04:39I just don't know what he's done lately.
04:42I think he's got...
04:43Yeah, Keith, why do you keep bringing him up?
04:45So Alex, I hate to correct you, but that was a Jones take.
04:49Listen.
04:50That was a Jones take.
04:51I am not high on Kendrick Bourne.
04:52I think he'll be fine.
04:54Joshua Daniels is back.
04:55I actually said yesterday we were guessing who the number one receiver is pre-Steph Diggs,
04:59and I said maybe Pop Douglas.
05:00Jones is the one...
05:01I said Bourne.
05:02I said Bourne.
05:03Classic mix-up.
05:04This takes the pressure off that, Alex.
05:05But thank you for listening.
05:06I apologize.
05:07Okay.
05:08So, Booty is our number two wide receiver going forward.
05:11I think Bourne is gone after this year.
05:13I love the show, you guys.
05:14Okay.
05:15Thank you, Alex.
05:16I hate to point that out.
05:17If your instincts were Jones was wrong, just stick with that, because you were right.
05:21I liked it better when he was picking a nit with Keith, quite frankly.
05:23I was like, sorry, I'm not the Kendrick Bourne guy.
05:26I like Kendrick Bourne.
05:27Great guest.
05:28I'd love to have him on the show again.
05:29Oh, he was our favorite guest last year.
05:31We liked him so much, the Patriots wouldn't give him back to us.
05:34Thank you, guys.
05:35I don't think we're getting Steph Diggs, but that'll...
05:37Oh, so this is maybe what we do.
05:39I thought he was going to needle you about how good Steph Diggs was in 2021.
05:43That's what I thought he was going to do.
05:44He's great.
05:45I did get a lot of that.
05:46I did get a lot of that on Twitter yesterday.
05:47Did you notice that?
05:48Yeah, I'm proud of you.
05:49A lot of guys on Twitter were like, this guy's perfect for Keith.
05:50He was good three years ago.
05:53But this probably needs to be our strategy.
05:56If we tell the Patriots we would love to talk to Diggs, we get no chance.
06:00What if we go the other way and go, we really don't want Diggs on the show?
06:02Whatever you do, Monday or Friday, we do not want him.
06:04Don't give us Steph Diggs.
06:05And then it's like 10 o'clock Monday morning, Patriots Monday, Steph Diggs, co-host for
06:10an hour.
06:12This should be...
06:13I forgot to run down the hall and ask Ken about this.
06:15This really should be in play for Patriots Monday and Friday.
06:17But Patriots, if you're listening, we don't want him.
06:20He wouldn't be...
06:21He would not be a good guest.
06:22It wouldn't be the kind of person we would want to talk to on this show.
06:25We definitely want Christian Gonzalez and not Stephon Diggs.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Yeah.
06:29No, more Hunter Henry.
06:30Now the Twitch chat is thinking that I said that about Kendrick Bourne.
06:33Don't get that started.
06:34Don't get that misinformation out there.
06:36Yeah, Keith.
06:37Fake news.
06:38We were all shaking our heads at it when you brought it up yesterday.
