Sounds like crap to me, too.
The simplest explanation is usually the best. Teams were trying to jump the Chiefs for a tackle, they stayed in touch with the 49ers to ensure that wouldn't happen, and outbid whomever tried to jump them to get their guys. |

That the Jets, for instance, would never call up Minnesota and say "Hey, we've got a team looking to jump to 10 and snag a guy in front of you, wanna make sure that doesn't happen?" I mean if the Vikings moving up 1 spot to take a QB when the Jets have Rodgers or the Chiefs moving up 1 spot to grab Kingsley doesn't disprove the hell out of that notion, I just don't know what could. Of COURSE they do that. Why in the world would they not? If you're not doing that, you're GMing wrong, IMO. |

I like that show for the most part but so much of Nates "insider scoops" feel like smoke screens or like his insider is a janitor just making shit up from cafeteria talk he over heard. You don't jump up to make someone feel good. You move up to make sure no one else gets the player. Pretty cut and dry. The Chiefs moved up from 29 to 10 to stroke Mahomes ego..

Taylor is entertaining for the most part (until he and Brisco get on their soapbox) but I doubt he has much more actual inside information than anyone here. The whol psy-op trade up angle is ridiculous. San Fran probably called and said that some other team was trying to trade into 63 and grab Kingsley and that if we wanted im we had to give something up.

The Rice episode was pretty reasonable because they just tossed the ball to Keysor and let him work. I'd like to think they learned their lesson from the Araiza shit. |

Which is a risk, for sure. But in a timed situation like that when you're looking at zero sum outcomes, you really can't let a team have a free hand like that. You need to put a deadline on that sort of offer. |

So while you have Lynch on the phone making hand signals to his lackey and saying "hey, what was that offer again...uh....my...uh...my phone is breaking up. I'm going through a tunnel, can you give me 45 seconds or so to get out the other side and run that by me again?" you're gonna get fairly impatient. |

I mean its a pod cast not a news cast. 99% of why I listen is for Seth though. Josh has no original takes, Nate seems like an iffy insider with a true fans understanding of the league and Seth while not always right is at least trying to dig up something in the film.
