We are closing in on the NFL draft and every year, especially for the listeners that

have been listening to this show before it even was a stuffy small show,

knows that there is someone that we need to have on every single year before the draft leading

up to the draft and that's Jason Gold. Find them on Twitter at JasonGold24 and you'll

have to tell me all about it at NFL underscore gold. How are you? I want to hear all about the NFL

gold. Tell me about where people just subscribe. We also have another like a companion too.

So I'll do a little quick picture so I kind of started this as a side project so you can

subscribe to my sub stack NFL gold. All sorts of off season bets going on over their interesting

articles to just find things that I find interesting within the NFL draft or the NFL in general.

And then yeah, I built two side tools for the NFL draft. One is the NFL draft trade machine.

Just go on there if you're looking for, if you're a fan of the commanders and you want to trade

down, you can kind of mix and match and see what your team might be able to do in the draft.

That's kind of a fun tool. And then the tradebet.com, which basically is comparing head-to-head odds

based on underdog mock draft data. You can also search those against Kalshi, any sort of bet

that you want to put together that'll give you kind of an idea of what sort of edge you have on any

sort of NFL draft bet. That's awesome. So everyone needs to go check that out. I need to check it out

even more as we're closing it. I was just kind of saying Orion the week before the draft is where

a lot of people can get caught like with their pants down because a lot of bullshit starts coming

out. And it's a really easy way to play some bets that ultimately you're just leaning into a lot

of bullshit. Is there anything that you've heard the last couple of days you're like just this

is ridiculous? I think most of what you hear a week out is like the turn off your brain season.

Like you can connect a lot of dots, but a lot of it's just kind of smoke and movement right now.

So I wouldn't really be betting too heavily into all the rumors that you're hearing. Unless you

want to play the prediction market game, which is if you hear a rumor, go bet it quickly and then

sell out of it when the rest of the rat race gets to it. Now you're selling five cents at a time.

But there is a way to make a profit on doing that and just rumor monitoring. So if you want to take

that angle, go for it, but you got to be on it full time. Yeah, I think one of, you know, you're

hearing about the jets nonstop. Do you have a take on this smoke? No smoke? Where are we at with

what the jets are doing? If I knew the answer to that, I would be a much richer person coming next Thursday.

So this is a really tough one. You know, I trust the national insider guys a lot on this and they seem

to be leaning towards Bailey, although Daniel Jeremiah walked it back a little bit today. So I think

it's a true 50, 50. I do think that if our Val Reese is there at three, I think the Cardinals would

go that direction instead of trying to trade out potentially if David Bailey's there. My hunch is

that whichever edge is there, that's where Erasm is going to go over going for a right tackle. I just

see a team trading up to three. So you're talking about like the Cowboys or the Rams or the dolphins

or someone like that trading up to three. I think that's ideally what Arizona would like to do.

I just don't think that they're going to get the package. So I think that whatever edge doesn't go

to will go three. So then the question is we've got to get the right order there. I've been on

Reese the entire time. I still think it should be Reese. I think that their GM Moghi is doing a great

job and he should not be taking into account at all. Aaron Glenn's job being safe or not when making

this pick. Now I understand if they want to just plug and play someone, David Bailey is the guy.

If they want someone who's going to be a leap for 2026 or at least better, I understand why they

would go Bailey. But you look at what Aaron Glenn built in Detroit and you can really utilize that

hybrid role really well. So I still think it makes sense to go Reese. I think you go for the guy

who could be wearing a Hall of Fame jacket at two over Bailey who I don't think is that quite that

prospect. But again, this is not about me. This is about reading the tea leaves about what I think

they're going to do. And I would say we're right now 6040 Bailey, but I don't feel firm about

anything there. Yeah. I think the next question comes into play is going to be with Jeremiah Love.

I saw him lucky, Rebel. When I did the show last week, his draft physician market was at four and a

half. It's actually it actually got pulled down at one point. And now it's back up at five and a

half. The over is plus 125 under is minus 165. Like with with love, where's the earliest and where's

the latest that we see him go using? I'm not buying the smoke on him at three to Arizona. I don't see

that one. They brought in Tyler Algier. They still have James Conner. They have a lot of other

needs. I understand you know, Michael force system getting running back in there kind of makes

some sense, but I don't think that's the direction they'll go. I think Tennessee's real. I think

that that's possible. There's a reason he's minus one 10 in the market right now to be the fourth

pick. I can definitely see that. I do think that they have other needs. I would say he's probably

yeah, maybe a true 5050 to go there. I do think that they're interested in sunny styles. I could

see them going offensive line. So giants at five. I think is real also. I would pay that more

like at 25%. I think that styles is interesting. I think downs is interesting. And I think that

you know, your right guard right tackle situation is also potentially interesting there as well.

I had bet previously on delaying to be the pick at five. I'm going to lose that bet. That's fine.

It was plus 1831. I bet it. But I don't think that's in the running anymore. I think it'll

be either they'll have state defenders or it'll be right guard right tackle or love.

I can see six being a spot that he goes in a trade-up or seven to the commanders or the commanders

trading out. So if someone that range, I think that if I had to bet right now, I'd probably take that

under five and a half thinking that either the giants are tight and stick them slightly

towards that. But I don't don't feel great about that. I've had this thing in my head the entire

time that I think that the Rams are going to come up for Jeremiah Love. If he gets the six and the

Browns, I think that is a trade that makes a lot of sense for them to jump the commanders and go

up and get love. They've been tracing. They first of all, they've been way too quiet in this draft

process, which means less need in Chameleon if they are planning something. The last two drafts,

they have tried to trade out for Brock Bauer's and Tenoro and McMillan. They clearly want another

playmaker there. Everyone asks, well, why do they need to run back? They absolutely don't need to

run back. But this is less need in Chameleon. They do weird shit that always seems to work out for

them. And I think that's very much in play for him to be the sixth bet.

Okay. So now I'm going to the Rams. We're going to jump all over the place at this point here.

What about Sadiq there? Like, is there any way that they go and take a tight end? I mean, they love

they would they love their tight ends. And then after Puka and, you know, having another playmaker

there and especially getting one that is a good run blocker is solid hands. He's only turning what?

21. I think in March, he's very young guy. I mean, could we see him go to the Rams?

Yeah, I tweeted this earlier. They love having teammates that have chemistry. So both their

cornerbacks came over from Kansas City. They obviously know how to play well together. They drafted

specifically Jerry versus Braden fist from Florida State. They were on the same defensive line.

They traded up to get Braden fist because they wanted those two with their chemistry.

Now you're talking about their first pick last year of Terrence Ferguson, the tight end from

Oregon. Now you have Sadiq potentially there. Those two obviously had played together and worked

together in 12 and 12 personnel sets at Oregon. I think that that is an interesting pairing.

Ultimately, I don't think that that is what they're going to do. I do think that that decision

comes down to either a trade up for Jeremiah Love or one of the wide receivers or potentially going

offensive line at 13. I think the reason that they don't go Sadiq is that you're in this very tight

window with Sean with Sean McVey and Matthew Stafford right now, where the tight ends

traditionally take a little bit of time to develop. Even like a Tyler Warren came out blazing,

he fell off a little bit at the end. He still has some development. Coastal Loveland didn't

really show up until the end of that season. The only one who really broke out your one was Brock

Bowers. For as much as I love my Oregon ducks, Sadiq is not that sort of player. I think he's going

to take some time to develop in the NFL. And I don't know if the Rams can wait on someone to develop

like that. Yeah. And I see someone in the in the chat saying Sadiq to the chiefs and I talked

about this. I gave out the chiefs to take a tight end at 10 to one. If you're going to play Sadiq,

that's the way to do it. But do the chiefs do that? Now I'm also growing on the cornerback route.

Like chiefs wise, I don't have them pegged any which way. Do you have you bet the chiefs market?

Where are you at with them? I haven't really bet the chiefs market specifically. I just have them to

take a tight end at 10 to one because I, you know, I could see it there. But I think we're going to

end up seeing some trades ahead that might impact what they knew there. Given the fact that they never

pick it nine and they need help immediately. That's kind of the same thing with Sadiq. Like,

yes, they need a replacement for Travis Kelsey at some point. I don't think Sadiq helps

all that much this year there in winnow. So I think it'll be someone more immediate would be my

guess. I think that they're, they could, you know, if like Arvel Reese is there at three,

could they make a massive move up and go get Reese? Potentially. But if you're sitting at nine,

I'm thinking that they're going in some order, their board would be

wide receiver. So Jordan Tyson's getting a lot of smoke to nine. I could see that.

Last 325 there for them to take away our receiver. I don't think Tate's going to be there at nine.

And then Delayne makes obviously a ton of sense for them. They've done a really good job of

developing cornerbacks later in the draft with SPAG. So I think that they feel pressure because

they traded away their cornerbacks that they need to do that. And I think the one that kind of

sticks out like a sore thumb is you have Patrick Mahomes back there coming off of an injury. You'd

need a right tackle. Is it, you know, Maui Noa or Fauna or whomever you feel comfortable with

it right tackle there at nine. That's kind of the one that is sticking in my head where, okay,

premium position, need now. You got to protect your best asset. That one kind of makes sense to me.

So then there's also going to be a lie. This talk and it's easy, you know, you know, you can say

whatever joke you want, a caricature concern players where they end up. You've got Bane here.

If Bane is sitting there, like are we at like Bane's line to think I will like eat in a half

I think. Yeah, yeah. Over is my S320. The under is plus 230. I still, I still feel like he is

going to go over the eight and a half. Will I get there by next week because I'm letting

everything get into my head. Maybe, but are the chiefs an option for Bane to go there.

My last mock draft I had Bane at nine. I think that does make a lot of sense.

Since then, more news has come out about his car and off the field stuff.

Do they really want to go through something like that after having Rishi race?

I'm not sure that they want to go down that route, but he certainly would fit what they want on

defense. You know, he's kind of a better version of, you know, George Parloff just kind of had

those short arms to kind of the same ice. So I could see them being very interested. I would not

be surprised. I do like the over eight and a half. I think the only place where you get into a

concern about the eight and a half is New Orleans. And I just see them going, I see New Orleans going

in a different direction there. So I would, I did play. I have played the over eight and a half. The

juice is probably a little bit too much at this point, but yeah, I definitely is, but I like

directionally. I, I like that. And I think the first place that he comes off the board is

nine, 10, something like that. It reminds me a lot of last year. I know they're very different

situations in their own way, but it reminds me a lot of Pierce Jr. And I, that line was different.

This, the market tells me that they think he's going over. It was a little bit different for Pierce

Jr. last year. But I just, I don't foresee a team taking that risk there. Like it's, I understand

the teams have known. I understand the family said this. I also understand that there's a chance.

Maybe the family is also waiting for him to get paid when he gets drafted. You know, I mean,

like there's so many levels to it. So for me, I don't know that I'm even, you know, plus two 30s,

not enough for me to take the under here. Yeah. And I mean, specifically for the chiefs outside

of the cornerback spot, I think that they have to do whatever they have to do to maximize that

offense because that's really, that's really how the chiefs are going to end up winning more

super balls. They got to super power their offense a little bit more. America's privately owned

When you sign up with Code Smalls, I've done a very good job betting on the Saints,

the last couple drafts here. I will hand up at Mitt. I'm a little unsure where I think they're

going to go this draft. I think Cornerback is something that they could take a look at there.

Is it going to be why I received her, though? I have where my question comes in,

is are they going to bring in a guy with medical, you know, whatever the medicals are in Tyson?

Well, they already have a lobby on the roster with also medical problems.

Like, are we really going to have that BRY receiver room?

Like, it's a hard sell for me.

I do not think, unless Tyson has his test tomorrow morning,

if he tests well and does all the tests,

yeah, I could see this being a top 10 pick.

Otherwise, I don't really see it right now.

I think that if Tate was there at 8, he would probably be the pick.

I think the order of their board probably goes Tate and then Mansour Delayne and then Ruben Bane

and then probably Jordan Tyson. That would be my hunt right now how they're stacking their board.

I, there's no delay in your opposition line out, right?

Like, does no one know where this guy is going?

Is that what's going on?

I assume that it will be, you know what circa might have put one on there at 10 and a half.

I think that just came out today, which is about the number that I would think that he would go.

Yeah, I would have set that number probably at nine and a half just because I think that

the decision becomes between the chiefs and the bangles depending on where Caleb Downs goes.

If Downs goes ahead, I think that Delayne would be the pick at 10.

If Delayne and Downs are both on the board, I think that he,

that Downs goes 10 to the bangles and Delayne goes 11 to Miami or 12 to the Cowboys.

Okay, I talked a lot about this so, and I'll just get your take on it.

I kind of, I tweeted about it today because I wanted to get commanders fans input on it and why

they seem like they would be kind of upset with secondary for at their pick.

For me, I don't, I don't fully understand that.

It seems like they're kind of split 50.

A lot of them still very much think they're getting locked and I just don't believe that's occurring.

I think that they are so dead set on three players.

I'm talking for the fan base here.

They want carnal tape.

They want Jeremiah Love and they want sunny styles.

I think that those are the three players that they're dead set on.

One of them's probably, I would assume likely to be there.

One of the three will be there unless they go, you know, four, five, six, which I guess is possible.

I would not be surprised to see them go with Man sort of Delayne.

But I would think that he's probably fourth on the board.

I'm assuming that those other and also like a trade out.

I think a trade out is a real possibility there.

If those three guys are gone and it's Delayne on the board is their number one player,

I would not be surprised at all if they trade out to whether the Rams want to come out,

one of the Cowboys want to come out.

Well, Cowboys Washington probably won't happen.

But something like that, maybe Miami wants to come up for an offensive lineman.

I could see that happening.

Yeah, and I was looking too, because I don't know.

McCoy kind of feels a little bit more commandery.

But they've done really no work like with him at all.

They have done a lot with lemon.

So I think if they trade back, that might be a direction that they potentially know.

Yeah, potentially.

Washington has been a team that cares a ton about testing and their RAS scores.

So you're looking for and specifically younger players.

So that's kind of the direction that I would go.

These high RAS guys, especially like sunny sows is like perfect.

Like he was like a 10 RAS guy.

That's going to be like, they go Bane.

I don't think so, because he doesn't have the requisite size that you're talking about.

That's true, that's true.

I would be very surprised if Washington ended up with Bane.

Okay.

Ty Simpson, we got to bring it up.

You know what's crazy about Ty Simpson?

Is this is like classic draft where like there was a burst of all of a sudden.

Like he's going first round, he's going first round.

You haven't heard really a peep about him the last like 10 days.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on with that situation.

It feels like it's a done deal that he's going to end up on Arizona one way or another.

It doesn't seem like anyone else is truly interested.

Now it becomes, well, is there a surprise team?

No, not at least in the first round or early second round that I can see doing it.

The Jets, I don't think that they're going to end up pulling the trigger on that deal.

So if you're Arizona, maybe Cleveland at 24, that's where the line is set, but it's heavily

juicy the over.

I don't think that Cleveland's going to be interested in that this year.

So if it is Arizona, the question is, are they trading up in the first round?

Do they have to?

And does it behoove them to do so to get that extra year on the contract?

Generally, it does.

Generally, those teams come up like they did for Jackson's art last year.

And then you're talking about teams that would trade out.

So you know, 26 with Buffalo makes a lot of sense.

28 with Houston makes a lot of sense.

32, just to swam, you know, one or two spots with Seattle makes a time of sense even though that's

in with with individuals.

So I do think ultimately he probably ends up in the first round, but that over 24 and a half,

I just can't see anyone trading up that high to beat out the Browns to take him.

Because I don't think the Browns would take him at 24.

I don't force it would be very surprising to me, you know, you're hearing a lot like the Jackson

Dart situation. I don't know that any team loves him the way that like the Giants loves Jackson

Dart either. Like I don't think that that's the situation that we have going on here.

And I think no one's going to really want to trade up for him unless it is like when those last

couple spots there.

I mean, I can tell you that the Jets are hoping that he doesn't go in the first round.

So that someone has to trade to 33 to get him.

If this number was like 33 and a half for Ty Simpson, I would hit the I would double click the

under so hard. I can't see him getting past the first pick in the second round.

I placed the bet today. Jacksonville Jaguars to take a Y receiver at plus 800. Hunter is no longer

going to be playing Y receiver. They said they're going to have some packages for him,

whatever it is. Why wouldn't they keep up with you know, they have holes and they don't have holes

on the roster. Their roster is pretty good. Like it's a good roster and they're not having a lot of

turnover here. Could they go Y receiver? Totally. They're picking what like 55 in the second round,

something like that. It totally makes sense. It's probably going to be a good range. There's going

to be a lot of good Y receivers in the second round. They also have a ton of third round picks.

So if they want to move up to the top of the second round, they can easily do so.

So right now they're Y receiver Brian Thomas, who I'm assuming is going to be on the team.

I don't think they're going to trade them. Parker Washington, Jacobi Myers,

you know, it's not a huge need, but it is definitely something that they could utilize.

They could also go offensive line. I mean, there's other places they can go, but for what price

did you get? I'll see 100. Yeah, so for that an 8 to 1 shot that they go Y receiver, I don't

think that that's a bad bet at all. Yeah. Talk to me here about Caleb Downs. I mean, his

draft position line, nine and a half, the overs plus 135, the under is minus 180 kind of.

Another guy that you weren't hearing a lot about again, and now he's peeping back into the news as

we're like closing it on the draft here. A lot of people are pinning him to the giants. Where are you at?

So I bet the over nine and a half, then the market moved, seemed way up because of minus 330

on the over. And now with the mock drafts that came out yesterday, now we're looking at the under

being seemed way the other way. So really interesting market. I think it's a true 50 50. I think

it's lined right. I lean towards the over. I just don't see a great spot where other players wouldn't

be ranked ahead of him on the board. I don't see the giants doing it. I think that one of their

other guys is going to be there. Six doesn't make sense. Seven. I think there's going to be other

guys for Washington or trade out. Eight. I don't think that safety is their number one priority.

Nine. I haven't heard anything about the chiefs and downs for a while. I think that 10 is the

spot that ultimately he goes. And I think that if he's on the board for the Bengals, they would

jump at the opportunity to get them in less something crazy happens and someone's on the board that

we're not forcing at this point. If he somehow gets past 10, I have to imagine that Miami

and Dallas are going to battle it out for him. But I don't think that's like my dream for Jerry

Jones. It's like if he was there without having a tree, that is absolutely just the

lead tree for Jerry Jones. Yeah, so I think I think down just goes 10. I've been firm on him going

10 for a long time. I think it makes sense for the way the draft board's going to work out. So I

would slightly into the over probably wouldn't bet at this point given the mock drafts that came out.

But that's the way I would be. America's privately owned freight railroads keep the nation on track.

what I need to to finish about it. What are some of your favorite bets for the draft that maybe

people could still get value on or even just your favorite bets that you placed in general?

I mean, I've placed a lot of bets so far. I would say that this week is kind of the week where I

kind of take my foot off the gas of actually betting stuff and just kind of seeing where the market's

going to go. I think once Monday starts, Monday to Thursday is going to be like you're actually

going to see where the board's going to break. So I would bet a lot then. A lot of the stuff that I

have now is like longer shots and round one guys has been like my biggest bets so far this

draft season. So concepcion, I got it minus 200. I still think that's good. You can bet that one.

Chris Johnson is probably my favorite one on the board that everyone can bet right now. I saw

between minus 150 minus 185 earlier. My numbers have this close to about 80 85%. So you're talking about

a much higher juice number. I really, really like that one. I think he's going to be the third

cornerback off the board. If you can get Jacob Rodriguez to be the second linebacker drafted,

I got this yesterday on Calche at 525. I think that number's gotten seen, but I do think he's

going to be the second linebacker taken in the draft. So I like that one. And some longer shots

that I have bet recently. Let's see. Mansor delay number eight at 550. Oh, I'll also say this.

Numbers and I still like out there. Mansor delay and to be cornerback one minus 250.

I like that. I don't think that McCoy is going to be jumping over the lane. I think the latest

to the lane goes just 12 and I don't really see a spot from McCoy unless the bangles do something

crazy at 10. Dylan Thiniman, if you still have it out there under 18 and a half, I bet that

I think that 12 12 the Dallas 18 to Minnesota is a good spot. Longer shot out there. Oh,

Emmanuel McNeil Warren first round pick. He's still holding like that minus 250. I think he's going

to go depending on what your number is at your individual book over two and a half safeties might

be a less juice number there. It's essentially the exact same bet. So look for the juice on that.

I was looking at that. Yeah. So I definitely think that he's going to be a first round pick

at this point. Longer shots that I have bet recently as in like the last couple days.

Kenyans to Deak to Minnesota at 18. This is not one that I have seen very often. I do think,

given their situation with no general manager, I think the Kevin O'Connell has a large voice in

that room right now. I know most people have gone defense for them and that's probably the favorite

for a reason. But I do think that if he's the one calling the shots, there's a good chance with

TJ Hawkinson's injury history and the way that he wants to play offense and having Kyler Murray

who's done well with tight ends before getting a guy that Kenyans to Deak in there might be interesting.

That one was 1500 plus 1500. I bet. I bet the Vikings first pick in like some crazy world that

the Vikings trade up and take love is like the craze probably my craziest long shot that I could

kind of see happening. I know that Jones, I think they just gave him like a little bit of an

extension, but it was just like a friendly team friendly type deal. Like I wouldn't write that off.

Like I don't I don't I'm not writing off them. Take trying to do something crazy and take love.

They got no GM. So if it's on the code, you don't care about the graphics. Exactly. So I can definitely

say something crazy with Minnesota. I would not rule that out at all. Texans first pick to be a

cornerback plus 2200. You would think that the Texans are definitely going offensive line. It's

definitely their biggest need. If secondary to that defensive line, we've talked a lot about a

Cade McDonald being their pick at 28. They have sneakily brought in Chris Johnson and Colton Hood

who are obviously both going to be at first run picks or early second round draft picks.

I would not be surprised at the Texans who have committed all this money directly and are probably

not going to pay any of their other other secondary players a lot of money to bring in a cornerback

and solidify that defense. So I have a bed that pick a Y receiver is a long shy. I think I got

16 to 1 or 14 to 1 on that. That would surprise me just because they took the two Iowa State

running Y receivers last year. Yes. But given the range that they're drafting and at 28,

that's probably going to be like a good spot for it. So it's possible. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.

Like I bet at some point, Kenyan Cadeak to be there at plus 2800 just because I have that. I

take it on that too. Shultzes, you know, he's not that guy. Like he's there. He's competent. But like

Cadeak would be a real difference maker. And if you're trying to figure out,

oh, I'm going to give C.J. Stroud 16 or 18 year. Right. Yeah. Let's figure it out. So I can see that.

Right. Absolutely. Any other bets, any other thoughts about the draft that you want to throw out

here before wrap up and let you get out of here? Well, yes. Please God let the Rams do something crazy

undrafted. Crazy. This is what I'm sorry. I have this theory that they've been too quiet.

They're going to do something. I don't know if it's going to be offense or defense. You would

assume offense. But if they're all in and they have this 13th pick that they traded for last year.

And by some miracle, they're picking this high. And there are six or seven blue chip prospects in

this draft and three or four teams that want to trade down. And this is the ultimate FU or FM picks team.

They just struck me as a team who's going to go up and do something weird. So that's what I'm

looking forward to. And if you can figure out what that is, there's probably a big profit to be made

somewhere. I kind of love it. Kind of love it. Need to figure out. Sometimes they have some birdies

in my DMs that know some RAM stuff. Maybe I need to just put some feelers out and see what I can

figure out. Let's see. Let's see what I can figure out. Let's see what we can brew up.
