00:00So according to Jeremy Fowler, the Raiders left tackle Colton Miller is not currently
00:07participating in voluntary offseason programs and is seeking a contract extension, a.k.a.
00:12he either wants to get paid or get traded for happened to play for Josh McDaniels in
00:19Vegas.
00:20Maybe he didn't hate Josh McDaniels as much as some of the other players.
00:23And there's a chance you could go acquire a guy.
00:25The Patriots this past offseason clearly were under the impression that they wanted to
00:31go out and acquire guys that they were familiar with.
00:34A lot of the guys outside of Milton Williams, almost every other acquisition was a guy they
00:38were familiar with, and they could bring a guy in, which may then in turn assuage some
00:43of the fears that people have about drafting Will Campbell at No. 4.
00:48You have far more options if you were to trade for Colton Miller.
00:51You trade for Miller, give him a bit of a contract extension since you still have a ton of cap
00:55anyways.
00:56And then you can have options at 4.
00:59You could go Ashton Gentry.
01:00You could do what Wiggy wants.
01:01You could go Tyler Warren.
01:03You could go Jalen Walker if you really want another pass rusher.
01:06So now you have, you could even still take Will Campbell and then, you know, have the option
01:12of having him at tackle or guard when you need him and have that flexibility.
01:15It seems like the Gentry at No. 4 for the Patriots talk is heating up.
01:20I, Greg, I will spontaneously combust in a good way.
01:25Why is it heating up?
01:27I don't know.
01:27It seems weird.
01:30But again, like, Vrabel has shown you that he wants to play that kind of football.
01:35He wants to take some of the burden off the quarterback.
01:38He wants to be able to run the ball effectively.
01:40And Ashton Gentry is the best running back in this draft by a bullet.
01:45And, like, I would put him on par with, like, Ezekiel Elliott coming out of Ohio State.
01:51That's kind of how I comp Ashton Gentry.
01:53So you would love that pick?
01:54I would.
01:55I would be over the moon.
01:56I would.
01:57Because I think a lot of people will hate it, which I partly love.
02:00And then I just, I love Ashton Gentry as a player.
02:03I think he's awesome.
02:04All right.
02:04I mean, that'd be interesting.
02:05He had a great career at Boise State.
02:08What do you, Sean, what do you have to give the Raiders to get that deal done?
02:13Because he wants a contract extension and probably wants out, I wouldn't think it's that much.
02:18Maybe give him the third round pick.
