1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's still going to be the same scheme. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 2: I mean we've been with Davis three years. It's not 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 2: like he's just coming from you know, another team, and 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 2: so we kind of know. 5 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: We know what we're looking for, you know, as a team. 6 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: You know, position standards, prototype, what we're looking for at 7 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 2: offensive line receivers. 8 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: So we kind of know that's not going to change much. 9 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: There may be a tweak here or there, but nothing. 10 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 2: You know, it's Shawn's offense really and and and they're 11 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: putting it together and and so really doesn't change much 12 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: what we're looking for. 13 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 3: The process this year a bit accelerated, I guess is 14 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 3: so go to the AFC Championship. Good problems to have, right, 15 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 3: But what new challenges is that presented to you? As 16 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 3: a general medical. 17 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: It's not much. I mean, you prepare, our scouts prepared. 18 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: Our scouts have been. Man, they've been at the All 19 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: Star Games, they've been and all these schools in the fall. 20 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: They've they're ready. It's just you know, the season goes later. 21 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: So coaches get the week off and then they come 22 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: back and then you got you've got a week and 23 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: a half to get your call, you know, your draft meetings, 24 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: your free agent meetings, you know le Bronco meet you know, 25 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: we have two weeks actually, but so it's just accelerated. 26 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: It's fine. It's a good man. 27 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: We would we'd be up for this every year, you know, 28 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: even one more week. 29 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: So it's pretty. 30 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: Cool, no doubt. 31 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Uh. 32 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 4: You know, a couple of years ago, when we talked 33 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 4: to you a lot of about the defensive line, you 34 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 4: said you wanted to be better against the run. You 35 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 4: guys worked really hard at building up that room. So 36 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 4: what did you think about how that all came together 37 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 4: and then what went into the decisions to extend DJ, 38 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 4: Zach and Malcolm before this offseason. 39 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the defense. We we did talk about 40 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: the run game. I think we were second league in 41 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 2: run defense, you know, and so that that was important 42 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: that you know, we've talked about offensive line and defensive 43 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 2: line since Johns Shawn arrived, and we wanted to build that. 44 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: I mean that started, you know with the offensive line. 45 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: It was that twenty four free. 46 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: Agency with McGlinchey and and Powers and we had we 47 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: had minors and and then Zach Allen. 48 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: But getting back to those three d linemen, it was 49 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: really important. 50 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: I mean DJ all those guys, man, they're just they're 51 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: they're the heart and soul of our team. That d 52 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: line Zach we're fortunate to get as a free agent. 53 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: And he played, I mean he played even better here 54 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: in Arizona. He's taking his game to a new level. 55 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: They're all in their primes. They're all really good players. 56 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: If we don't reward them, who rewarded, you know? 57 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: And so we've done ten extensions in eighteen months, you know, 58 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: six since August. I think all those players are really 59 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: good players, are core players. And just think if we 60 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: didn't get them done, what would be facing in free agency. 61 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: So it's a credit to Richard Toddo and and you 62 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: know Rob Simpson and his group who do these deals. 63 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: You know, he mentioned the offensive line there. Sean mentioned 64 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 3: the offensive line twice during his during his offensive lines 65 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: have key turnarounds for teams. Sobody say, so Detroit has 66 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: DUMBI so we've done Obviously here in Denver, you've got 67 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 3: a couple of tackles that are getting into the thirtiesist 68 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 3: So Broncos Country hasn't seen a tackle drafted since I 69 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: believe Garrett Bowles. Is there a possibility, you guys can 70 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: be looking. 71 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: At toss, but you always want to add we like 72 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: our starters, I mean bowls as all Pro mcalinsay played 73 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: really well. They are getting some age, you know, like 74 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: we're going to take the best player. 75 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: You know, we've said that. 76 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: You know, last year we took a corner and that 77 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: was maybe our deepest position. But you don't want to 78 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: age at the same time in the offensive line. Now 79 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: we have youth in the you know with miners and 80 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: yet but like the way crumbs come on Paul Cho 81 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 2: and so we do have some young guys that we 82 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: got as college free agent, so I count those as 83 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: draft picks. 84 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 4: All right, last couple here for you. I want to 85 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 4: ask you about the running backs here because last year 86 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 4: you guys went until after the draft to get JK. 87 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 4: Dobbins because you drafted RJ. Harvey. How does this running 88 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: back free agent class as well as the draft class 89 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 4: stack up, and how aggressive you're going to have to 90 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 4: be to get a running back. 91 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: Well, we know we need one just because JK is 92 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: a free agent, and so we know we need one. 93 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: That's that's a that's a must. And we like man, 94 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: you know, we like RJ. What he as a rookie, 95 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: what he did, the dynamic ability he has. But Day, 96 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: we have guys under contract we like, but we know 97 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: we need one and so where does that come from. 98 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: We'd like to get JK back. We'll see how that goes. Obviously, 99 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: there's others in free agency. The draft are still working through. 100 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: I think it's solid and much. 101 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: You know, I don't. There's a dynamic guy up top. 102 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: You know he won't be there at thirty so unfortunately, 103 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: but we'll keep sorting through it. 104 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, you how difficult is it on draft day? You 105 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 3: see a player like jah A last year? Right, you 106 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: guys had a top ten grade on what you're watching 107 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: him come down? It gets past the Dolphins and the 108 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: Cardinals teams. You know, you thought we're in the market 109 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: for a corner. How difficult is it to sit there? 110 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: Maybe a case of the tight cheeks. As you're watching 111 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: and seeing this, your eyes start to get big. 112 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: Or well, I mean it Seawan's probably a little more 113 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: impulsive than me and he but he you know the 114 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: boat Nicks, you know, when that was like we had 115 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: some other options if j Day wasn't there, he was 116 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: the one we wanted. You do get a little nervous 117 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: do we move up. We felt like once he's passed 118 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: a certain point, you know, we were we were good. 119 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 2: You know, If not, hey we may bail. 120 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: You know. 121 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 2: So you always, I mean, the draft's a whole different program, 122 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 2: but you always we've gone through so many mocks, you know, 123 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: with just our team, we kind of we kind of 124 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: figured so it's it's a fun. 125 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 4: Process, all right, last one and now you have ten 126 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: picks later, right, so you're picking the thirty so you 127 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 4: have to continue to watch that. How does that go 128 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 4: into the process of getting ready for this draft? And 129 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 4: and that mixed in with the fact that you do 130 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 4: have your full coverboard for the most part here at draft, 131 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 4: Like by the time we get to the draft, we 132 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 4: know the board so well and we've we've we've talked 133 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: to so many teams, we've talked to. 134 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: Agent, we've done them, you know, we've done everything. 135 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: We have our grades, and so we kind of know 136 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: where a player is valued across the league. 137 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: And we felt like. 138 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: I mean, our j was our target at the time, 139 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 2: you know, but yet we felt like other teams didn't 140 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: value him as much, and so we moved back twice, 141 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 2: you know, And yet we were able to get some 142 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: capital Harvard, I mean, Pat Bryant, we felt man, we maybe, 143 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 2: but we didn't want to get cute and can we 144 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: move back? 145 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: And so that's kind of how you weigh it. 146 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: I mean, we moved back later in the draft to 147 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: get two players instead of one. 148 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: We were able to get the CROSSHAF and. 149 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: A loaner, you know, And so that's just how you 150 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: work the board. You always try to work it, whether 151 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: it's move up, move back, and yeah, it's fun.
