Former NFL GM Rick Smith on Drafting J.J. Watt & Moving on From David Carr | LGND

We are back for Season 2 of Legend Talk! Today, we’re bringing you an incredible perspective from the front office as we sit down with former Houston Texans General Manager and Denver Broncos executive, Rick Smith. Rick gives us a masterclass on how NFL teams truly evaluate talent at the Combine, how he managed the "war room," and the tough decision to move on from quarterback David Carr. He also shares the legendary, behind-the-scenes draft day story of trying to trade up for Patrick Peterson before ultimately standing pat and landing Hall of Famer J.J. Watt! Then, Ken Hamlin shares one of the wildest free-agency stories ever told: suffering a sudden, terrifying seizure right in the middle of a meeting with Saints GM Mickey Loomis, and how Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones swooped in to fly him to Texas. We also tackle the biggest topics in the league today, from CeeDee Lamb's franchise tag leverage to the Raiders' quarterback dilemma. #NFLDraft #HoustonTexans #RickSmith #KenHamlin #DallasCowboys #NFLCombine #LegendTalkPodcast
