The Drive with Big Al & DMac LIVE in studio! Von Miller says he’s happy to be a Bronco & knows he’s the best player around. Earl Boykins joins the show to talk about the beef between Russell Westbrook & Patrick Beverly, and says Beverly won the argument because the Rockets won the series. The Drive’s Mock Draft 2.0 for 2017 gets underway, and DMac cringes at the thought of who Big Al is going to take at No. 1 overall.
DMac leads off with the ESPN firings, and ponders if he and Big Al are making the right decisions in their industry. The guys don’t want to speak for Stink, and are baffled at the direction of today’s media, and wonder where the new best place to catch highlights is. Earl Boykins joins the show to talk about the beef between Russell Westbrook & Patrick Beverly, and says Beverly won the argument because the Rockets won the series. Also, DMac asks Earl if he met the Pope, what he would give him.
Can you have a chip on your shoulder if you were the second pick in the draft? Dmac asks Al that question, and the guys hear audio from Dove Valley as Von Miller remembers getting drafted at No. 2 overall in 2011. Big Al remembers playing for the Bengals & Broncos, and says he couldn’t see himself playing anywhere else. Al says you can’t have a huge sack total on a team that’s always losing. The thought of John Elway moving on as GM of the Denver Broncos is very real with the guys, and Big Al says there are more capable GMs out there. Also, what makes for a shoe-in Broncos Hall of Famer & if players like Aqib Talib and Von Miller fit the mold, and the guys take calls on the Broncos pick at No. 20 overall.
A good-looking 2017 NFL Mock Draft kicks off with Leonard Fournette going at No. 2 overall to DMac and the 49ers. Mike Williams draws a laugh as he teams up with Cam Newton and the Panthers, and the Bills let Reuben Foster slip. DMac doesn’t think the Cardinals need a QB, and Big Al can’t believe who DMac takes at No. 20 overall for the Denver Broncos. Also, what Big Al doesn’t like about DeShone Kizer.
