Welcome Paris Johnson Junior to Arizona. We'll hear 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 6: from the sixth overall pick shortly, but first some initial 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 6: thoughts from us Craigriolu. Paul calvic here at the Dignity 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 6: Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center. This, Paul, is where I 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 6: watched in real time as the Cardinals bounced around from 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 6: three to twelve to six to Johnson, you out at 20 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 6: State Farm Stadium and Glinda with the rest of the 21 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 6: Bird gang. 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: What was there reaction throughout this entire process. 23 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 7: It was great energy from the start, just because you 24 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 7: were picking number three overall. Then the trade came down 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 7: and I was curious to see, Okay, how are they 26 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 7: going to react here? But you know what, there was 27 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 7: resounding applause because I think people know that, guess what, 28 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 7: you got a first round pick from Houston next year, 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 7: and we all know the state of Houston Texans football, 30 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 7: and if they're playing a rookie quarterback all next year, 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 7: that could be a big time pick. And then when 32 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 7: they came up to number six, you know, there was 33 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 7: that buzz, that murmur through the crowd. And then when 34 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 7: the offensive lineman Paris Johnson Junior was selected, I thought 35 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 7: maybe it might be a somewhat of a muted reaction 36 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 7: because you don't have you know, it's not like he's 37 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 7: a skilled position player with all the highlights and the 38 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 7: rep and how many people truly know offensive lineman. But no, 39 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 7: I think the red Sea is realized at this point. 40 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 7: You can have all the weapons you want an offense, 41 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 7: if you don't have at least a solid offensive line, 42 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 7: Guess what, your offense isn't going to go anywhere. And 43 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 7: so I think they appreciate the fact the Cardinals did 44 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 7: invest heavily and arguably the best offensive lineman in this draft. 45 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 7: And you talk about history Craig. Think about it, the 46 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 7: last fifteen drafts, in round one to round two. This 47 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 7: is only the third offensive line and the Arizona Cardinals 48 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 7: have selected in Round one or two over the last 49 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 7: fifteen drafts. DJ Humphreys, Jonathan Cooper, and al Paris Johnson Junior. 50 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: And don't forget. 51 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 6: The Cardinals also landed a third round pick next year 52 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 6: as well as part of that deal. So you move 53 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 6: three spots and you pick up a first, and you 54 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 6: pick up a third in next year's draft. I'll take 55 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 6: that every day of the week. 56 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 7: In fact, I was watching NFL Network and their draft 57 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 7: recap coverage late last night and this is Mark Ross, now, 58 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 7: former front office executive, spent a lot of years a 59 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 7: lot of NFL teams, in a lot of war rooms, 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 7: and there he was on NFL Network last night and 61 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 7: here's his quote. I thought Houston gave up weight much 62 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 7: end quote. 63 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 8: Good. 64 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 7: That's perfect, That's exactly what you want to hear. That's 65 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 7: exactly what Monty austin Ford was out to accomplish. Get 66 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 7: the guy they wanted all along in Paris Johnson Junior, 67 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 7: but not a number three. Go get him at number 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 7: six and then get that first round pick next year. 69 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 7: Make someone pay dearly for the right to come up. 70 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 7: So yeah, I thought it was very well played by 71 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 7: the Cardinals, especially by a rookie GM. And to do 72 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 7: that on the clock. Remember what Jonathan Gannon told the media. 73 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 7: I can't wait to see MONI work the phones on 74 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 7: Thursday night. Well, guess what two trades Paris Johnson Junior 75 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 7: in our first round pick plus the thirties you Satuday 76 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 7: next year? I think that qualifies as a double thumbs up. 77 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: All right, let's. 78 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 6: Touch on the player himself. Six foot six, three ten 79 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 6: pounds offensive lineman, the versatility to play both left guard 80 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 6: or excuse me, left tackle or right guard. Thirteen starts 81 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 6: last year at left tackle, thirteen starts the season before 82 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 6: at right guard. Don't know where he's going to play, 83 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 6: but the general manager and the head coach like versatility 84 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 6: at any position. 85 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 7: What's great is when you watch some of his film 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 7: and Polly Pencilneck here isn't exactly an expert in offensive 87 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 7: line play. Doesn't matter when you see him go against 88 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 7: Georgia's defensive line, when you see him go against Clemson, 89 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 7: when you see him go against Michigan's defensive front, and 90 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 7: just his ability to dominate at times, his ability to 91 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 7: really be that physical guy, yet at the same time 92 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 7: he gets out in space. He's athletic enough from a 93 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 7: left tackle and they're pulling him all the way to 94 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 7: the right side, he's getting out and he's getting to 95 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 7: the second level. So I think there are a lot 96 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 7: of different options. We had a chance to interview him 97 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 7: at the draft party. One of the questions I asked 98 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 7: him up on the jumbo tron because he's coming to 99 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 7: us remote from Kansas City, the site of the draft party, 100 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 7: was just about his positional flexibility, and he's fully on board, 101 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 7: whether he's playing tackle, whether he's playing interior O line. 102 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 7: Heck even heard him offer to be able to play 103 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 7: center if he needs to learn how to snap it. 104 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 7: So that's how willing he is to come in and 105 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 7: actually be a starter from day one. And let's face it, 106 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 7: he's going to be giving every chance to do exactly that. 107 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 6: A unanimous first team All American, First Team All Big Ten, 108 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 6: Academic Big Ten. This is all from last season, and 109 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 6: the versatility is something that is going to be interesting 110 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 6: to pay attention to where he begins his career. Maybe 111 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 6: they play him at multiple spots initially, just to figure 112 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 6: out where he best fits. Obviously, you look at tackle 113 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 6: DJ Humphries, Calvin Beacham, Josh Jones, Will Hernandez right now 114 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 6: at right guard. Do you slide him over to the 115 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 6: left side and put Johnson at right guard. There's a 116 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 6: number of different options, but right now I think the 117 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 6: excitement is just get him in the building, get him 118 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 6: acclimented to the pro game, and then figure out what 119 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 6: he can do and take it baby steps at. 120 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 7: First look, MANI Asiford will tell you you're drafting the 121 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 7: person as much as the player. And when you get 122 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 7: into Paris Johnson the human being. We had someone in 123 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 7: the war room tell us within the last twenty four 124 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 7: hours he has been one of the most impressive interviews 125 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 7: and has had one of the most impressive Top thirty 126 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 7: visits ever. I mean we're talking in recent memory. You're 127 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 7: talking about a guy who's a journalism major, graduated a 128 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 7: journalism degree. 129 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: And was a writer for the school paper. He had 130 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 2: his own beat. 131 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 7: He speaks multiple languages, Mandarin, Chinese, he's working on Portuguese 132 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 7: right now. Started a charity that would benefit veterans in 133 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 7: high school. So it was a really intriguing interview last night, 134 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 7: and we're going to get a sense everybody will in 135 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 7: this introductory press conference. You see his mom on TV 136 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 7: on NFL Network and a intervieweder and she called him 137 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 7: the gentle giant until he goes out on the field, 138 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 7: until he gets between the white lines. And I asked 139 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 7: him about that and he said, oh yeah. 140 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: He said, my. 141 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 7: Personality most definitely changes when I get out on that field. 142 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 7: And he talked about himself just trying to be the 143 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 7: most physical player on that field. 144 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: So you like the. 145 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 7: Mental makeup and the mature and I think, honestly, you 146 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 7: like the fact that he appreciates being an Arizona Cardinal 147 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 7: with the lineage, his dad being a former draft pick 148 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 7: nineteen ninety nine. 149 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, fifth round pick. 150 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 6: His father Paris Johnson, a safety, and now you've got 151 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 6: Paris Johnson Junior, who is an offensive lineman and the 152 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 6: draft profile NFL Networks Daniel Jeremiah when you talk about 153 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 6: that physical and just the nasty streak, this is what 154 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 6: Jeremiah wrote about Johnson as far as in the run game, 155 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 6: especially quote he flashes a nasty streak to finish to 156 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 6: the ground, and that's kind of what We've heard both 157 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 6: from Manty Austin Ford and Jonathan Gannon. They want those 158 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 6: physical players that maybe that switch does turn on when 159 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 6: they cross that white line. 160 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: Look, here's the reality. 161 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 7: You're in a division with Nick Bosa, You're they now 162 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 7: added Javon Hargrave. You're in a division with Aaron Donald. 163 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 7: You know the sort of pressure that Pete Carroll likes 164 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 7: to put on the quarterback. You got to solidify the 165 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 7: offensive line. Quarterback is number one, Get to the quarterback 166 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 7: as number two. Protect that quarterback is number three. And 167 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 7: we've talked about it. This reset of the Cardinals roster 168 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 7: is going to be done from the inside out. So 169 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 7: now you have a guy who could be a guard 170 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 7: in year one, could eventually move to tackle at any 171 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 7: point during his rookie season or beyond. But it's that mentality, 172 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 7: it's that skill set reminds me a lot of a 173 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 7: DJ Humphreys in some ways. D J Humphries is the 174 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 7: most gregarious, outgoing and funny personality you meet off the field, 175 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 7: but on the field, and I watched him his whole 176 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 7: career down on the sideline look out on game day. 177 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 7: DJ Humphries is a different dude, and he brings that 178 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 7: nasty and he'll finish blocks. And so all the scouting 179 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 7: reports say, have a very similar read on Paris Johnson Junior. 180 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 6: And it was Humphreys who was the last first round 181 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 6: pick of an offensive lineman by the Arizona Cardinals in 182 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 6: twenty fifteen. You brought up Kyler Murray. There is already 183 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 6: a connection between those two. First during Johnson's Top thirty visit, 184 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 6: and then you and I were outside as Johnson entered 185 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 6: the build for the first time, and who was the 186 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 6: first person he runs into, Kyler Murray, who had just 187 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 6: finished his workout, and they exchange high fives and hugs 188 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 6: as well. 189 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 2: And hey, you. 190 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 6: Keep the quarterback upright, you keep the quarterback happy, and 191 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 6: that's the job ball five of those offensive linemen. 192 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 7: And I love this story that Paris Johnson Junior told 193 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 7: to the media as he enters the pressroom right now, 194 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 7: just how much he appreciated meeting Kyler on his Top 195 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 7: thirty visit, how much that resonated with him. 196 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: Let's hear from gentle manager Money Austin Ford. 197 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 9: All right, welcome everybody.

So thank you. 228 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 6: All right, if you mais here and if you't identifying yourself. 229 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 10: Yes, Josh, you seen yesterday on them when we talked 230 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 10: to you after the draft that you had watched a 231 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 10: lot of him with Kyler playing with c J in college, 232 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 10: how did that prepare you to play with the quarterback 233 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 10: who's Kyler's ask? 234 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 8: Yes, So I would say the play style between the 235 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 8: CJ and K one is different, but I would say 236 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 8: again playing they're both elite quarterbacks, and yet my freshman 237 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 8: year I did have time to play with the justin Fields, 238 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 8: and I would say his game reflects the qualities that 239 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 8: you know Kyler has. So I think playing with two 240 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 8: guys who are elite guys at quarterback and then to 241 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 8: come here with another guy who is already established, again, 242 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 8: he has ability to stay in a pocket to make 243 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 8: crazy throws. But he has a big to extend plays 244 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 8: unlike any other quarterback in the league. So I mean, 245 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 8: so that transition from going from two league quarterbacks with 246 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 8: different play styles to having something with a blend of both, 247 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 8: you know, with a great speed and an athleticism. I mean, 248 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 8: but that's what you want as an offensive lineman, you 249 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 8: know what I mean. So I'm hype that's what you want, 250 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 8: you know. 251 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 11: Parents, Richard Scions, Foxton, Phoenix, Welcome, Welcome to the valley. 252 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 11: You talked about wanting to beat an Arizona cardin.

The pictures that 465 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 15: come up, you always meet the running back in the 466 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 15: end zone. Yeah, and then you're using like jumping on 467 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 15: his shoulders, getting like four feet off the ground. 468 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 8: Yeah. 469 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 2: Is that just your celebration when you score a touchdown? 470 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 8: Yeah? So one, I feel like the type of player 471 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 8: I am. I felt like I play with violence. I 472 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 8: feel like that's how I like to play. That's how 473 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 8: to set the tone, you know what I mean.

I'm not at three hundred and 476 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,239 Speaker 8: I'm not three hundred ninety pounds where I can just 477 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 8: walk towards you slowly and just maul you. I am 478 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 8: speed the power, you know what I mean. You'll generate 479 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 8: the power through This is the strength that I have, 480 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 8: and it's how I play the game, and I play 481 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 8: the finish, you know what I mean. The speed I 482 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 8: have that thought and I I played a finish to 483 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 8: drive you and I don't stop, you know what I mean, 484 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 8: ability to redirect. I think those are all the gifts 485 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 8: and the qualities that I have that to this game. 486 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 8: And honestly, I do have to show off a little 487 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 8: bit of athleticism when I try to run down of 488 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 8: MEI the running back try to jump over him, and 489 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 8: I always think, you know what, I want to hurdle 490 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 8: him because I'm getting high enough to hurdle him. But 491 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 8: I'm like, how unfortunate would it be if these your 492 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 8: thoughts out of my head, Like if I hurdled him, 493 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 8: and like I hit him in the back of the 494 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 8: helmet and he faced plants and he's out the game, 495 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 8: and that looks really bad. So that's why I just 496 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 8: jump on his shoulders and I just hop off, you 497 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 8: know what I mean. 498 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 3: No, Paris, With all the coincidences there have been, some 499 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 3: would say some are meant to be. What's the story 500 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 3: about when you were hearing your visit in the condo 501 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 3: they took a picture of and what that turned out 502 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 3: to be. 503 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, So we're just driving in to start to visit, 504 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 8: and I'm chilling and chilling in the front seat.

I take 507 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 8: some take a picture of it. Said to my mom, 508 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 8: I'm like, yo, you see his condo building has a 509 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 8: really distinct rooftop.

I played here, Like, to me, 515 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 8: that's so cool. And like something else last night, right 516 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 8: before this draft started, when all the players walk on 517 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 8: the stage, I'm chilling. I I'm in the line. I'm 518 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 8: in the line before we do national anthem and everything. 519 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 8: And we do that and then we like walk back 520 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 8: down and I see a Nias Williams. And to my dad, 521 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 8: he was a mentor to my dad when they played 522 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 8: here together for my dad's here five year and a half, 523 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 8: and he like com mentored my dad, tried to get 524 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 8: him involved in the community. He tried to get him 525 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 8: to stay disciplined on the field, you know what I mean. 526 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 8: And so I saw him, dapped him up. I said, hey, 527 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 8: what's going on. He was like, Hey, we're gonna do 528 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 8: this thing, right, And I looked at him. I was like, yeah, 529 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 8: you know, I don't know's. I was like, because this 530 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 8: is before the draft. My yeah, okay, okay. And then 531 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 8: I go back in the room and I then I 532 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 8: come back out. I walk across stage, I get the jersey, 533 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 8: and then I walked down and he's and he's one 534 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 8: of the people, like he's like kwako. He to the 535 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 8: where all the burg Gang fans are and I'm walking down. 536 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 8: He passed me on the back. He's like, told you 537 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 8: you know, so little stuff like that, Like for him 538 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 8: to be there for my dad, you know, my dad 539 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 8: wasn't that if anybody in the building was around, he 540 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 8: was here. He's not the best listener, you know what 541 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 8: I mean. So for me, I take it as a 542 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 8: less learned full circle moment. I think that's the guys 543 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 8: I build a relationship with him. Maybe that can be 544 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 8: a guy who can teach me about his experience fall Away. 545 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 8: He's a Hall of Fame dude. He's a legendary cardinal, 546 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So I think that full 547 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 8: circle mom like what are the odds out of all 548 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 8: the Hall of Fame dudes there are, he was the 549 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 8: only one that was right next to the stage of 550 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 8: the draft. He's the only one there, you know, with 551 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 8: a gold jacket on. So and thought was cool. 552 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 6: You'd been listening to Paris Johnson Junior his introductory press conference. 553 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 6: Some more photo opportunities as well, the number one on 554 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 6: the back of the jersey. Paris Johnson Junior all smiles 555 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 6: during what was almost a seventeen minutes press conference, and 556 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 6: you could certainly see and hear the energy in his 557 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 6: voice and the passion in which he won play the 558 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 6: game of football, loves the game of football, and then 559 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 6: the passion and love that he has for his family, 560 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 6: a number of family members in attendance, including his mom. 561 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 6: And let's just go back Paul real quick on just 562 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 6: the last response that we heard as far as what 563 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 6: he called a full circle moments. We've heard about the 564 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 6: story and we touched on it earlier that his father 565 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 6: was a fifth round pick of the Cardinals back in 566 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 6: nineteen ninety nine. Well, during Johnson's Top thirty visit, he 567 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 6: saw a condo with a with a what was it 568 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 6: with a distinguished rooftop sent it to his mom. Mom responds, 569 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 6: similar type of rooftop that her and Johnson's dad stayed 570 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 6: in when Johnson Senior was with the Cardinals and then 571 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 6: running into a Eneas Williams prior to the draft. Williams 572 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 6: a mentor to Paris Johnson Senior. Yeah, a full circle 573 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 6: moment here with the Arizona Cardinals. 574 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's destiny right there when you run into 575 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 7: Anias Williams right the gold jacket and all timer whose 576 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 7: name is in the Ring of Honor. Just look at 577 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 7: Paris Johnson right there with his family and team Paris. 578 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 7: That's that's great stuff. You can just feel the enthusiasm 579 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 7: to be in Arizona, to come full circle. As you mentioned. 580 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 7: You know, he talked about a little of everything. He 581 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 7: called it life changing was one of the first terms 582 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 7: he used. Off the top. Said the experience so far 583 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 7: has been both amazing and fast, is what he said. 584 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: Everything's been a blur. 585 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 7: I love the way he had some name dropping some 586 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 7: of the legendary offensive linemen that he has worked with, 587 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 7: from Willie Anderson to most recently Andrew Whitworth. So he's 588 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 7: been identified ever since he was in high school and 589 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 7: that Anthony Muno is award winner, as the question said, 590 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 7: you know, as a prodigy, as the next great offensive 591 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 7: lineman to come out of Ohio State. That's the stat 592 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 7: He's the first offensive tackle taken in the top ten 593 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 7: out of Ohio State since Orlando Pace when number one 594 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 7: overall in nineteen ninety seven. But maybe my favorite quote, 595 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 7: because look, it all comes down to game day, comes 596 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 7: down to Sundays. I know exactly where you're going because 597 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 7: I highlighted it as well, and so yeah, you can 598 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,719 Speaker 7: finish my thought. But I just you know, he had 599 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 7: a couple of staccato phrases describing his game, and I'm 600 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 7: quoting him now. I played with violence. I shock people 601 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 7: with my speed, my speed to power. I play to finish, 602 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 7: to drive you. And he says he likes to show 603 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 7: off his athleticism after they reach the end zone. But 604 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 7: just that mentality, you can understand how that is a 605 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 7: fit with Jonathan Gannon Amani asin Fort. That word violence 606 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 7: in a football sense was one of the four key 607 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 7: core words cited by Jonathan Gannon in his introductory press conference. 608 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 7: So you have that sort of that sink between the 609 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 7: head coach and the player and the mentality and you 610 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 7: understand when they're trying to reset the culture as well. 611 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 7: That okay, you can understand why this was very attractive 612 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 7: to the Arizona Cardinals and making this selection. 613 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 6: Another moment during that press conference that harken back to 614 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,479 Speaker 6: both when Manti Austin Fort was introduced and Jonathan Gannon 615 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 6: was Johnson talking about I'm here to help the team win. 616 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 6: It's all about the team. When he was asked about 617 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 6: where do you want to play? I just want to play, 618 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 6: and then he joked I'll play safety if asked, which 619 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 6: I don't know if it was MANI or JG in 620 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 6: the background, say no, no, I think I think we're good there. 621 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 6: You're very athletic. We just we need you upfront on 622 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 6: that line of scrimmage. But again, we're all interested, where 623 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 6: is he going to line up that first practice, that 624 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 6: first time he steps on the field, because he's got 625 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 6: to start somewhere. It just might not be where we 626 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 6: see him ultimately week one or week eight. 627 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 7: Hey, they've already moved Zave and Collins to outside linebacker, 628 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 7: so this team is going to put players in the 629 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 7: best spots possible to win. So whether that could potentially 630 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 7: be left guard against you with d J. Jumphries, whether 631 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 7: will Orn Andiz might go to left guard where he 632 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 7: spent so many years in the New York Giants. And 633 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 7: there's Paris Johnson Junior at right guard, where he started 634 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 7: two years ago all thirteen games. I liked his little 635 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 7: quick about pitching for his guy, Luke Whipler, who, by 636 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 7: the way, has been Ohio State starting center the last 637 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 7: couple of years and has been highly decorated. Do you 638 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 7: think this team still needs to answer the center. 639 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 2: Question without question? 640 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 7: So hey, I mean it was a fun little tidbit 641 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 7: in the press conference. Don't think it might not be reality. 642 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 7: I don't know what a realistic draft spot is for 643 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 7: Luke Whipler, but that would fill a big time need. 644 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 2: So there's that. 645 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 7: And then I was intrigued about how he talked about 646 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 7: blocking for a Kyler Murray and he said, in his 647 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 7: opinion his own Scotter report, you know CJ. Stroud and 648 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 7: Kyler Murray different quarterbacks. However, his freshman year he blocked 649 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 7: for Justin Fields, the current Bears franchise quarterback, and so 650 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 7: he does have some experience, you know, blocking for that 651 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 7: elite athletic dual threat type quarterback. And you know his 652 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 7: comment on that was just, you know how much he 653 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 7: looks forward to that because it really keeps a defense honest. 654 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 7: So okay, you know, obviously just the maturity everything he's 655 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 7: accomplished off the field, he certainly seems like he's ready 656 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 7: to go. 657 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 8: You know. 658 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 7: DJ Humphries was the last Cardinals offensive lineman taking a 659 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 7: round one, and let's face it wasn't nearly as mature 660 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 7: his first year as Paris Johnson Junior appears to be. 661 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 7: And DJ will be the first to tell you that. 662 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 7: And for that reason, he basically had a red shirt year. 663 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 7: DJ humphreyes twenty fifteen when he came in as a rookie. 664 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 7: Not the case with Paris Johnson Junior. He's gonna be 665 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 7: plug and play. 666 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 6: I believe, well, you're a top ten pick, you're the 667 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 6: sixth overall selection. The anticipate what the expectation is that 668 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 6: you're playing somewhere along that offensive line. There should not 669 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 6: be a red shirt season four. Paris Johnson Junior look 670 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 6: the football player. We can all see that on Saturdays. 671 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 6: Now we'll see it on Sunday. But we also saw 672 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 6: some of that personality as well when he retold the 673 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 6: story of running into Kyler Murray during the Top thirty visit, 674 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 6: and that once again, I think we're going to compare 675 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 6: a lot of Johnson with a DJ Humphreys because Hump 676 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 6: has that same personality, and then you referenced it earlier. 677 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 6: Once DJ walks onto that football field and the ball snap, 678 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 6: he is a different human being, difficult for players to 679 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,919 Speaker 6: turn it on and turn it off. But we've seen 680 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 6: it with DJ, and I think we're going to see 681 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 6: it with pairs. 682 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 7: And that's the question that really wasn't asked in this 683 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 7: press conference that I wish would have been, and if 684 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 7: we would have been in there, I would have thrown 685 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 7: that out there, because I did pose that question to 686 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 7: him at the draft party last night, and he got 687 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 7: deadly serious when he talked about his mentality on the 688 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 7: field when it's game day, when it's game time and 689 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 7: he's between the white lines. Like you said, that violent 690 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 7: side of him, that physical side of him, that desire 691 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 7: to not just block you, but finish you, drive you 692 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 7: into the ground. So don't think that doesn't go all 693 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 7: long way with the town evaluators in this coaching staff, 694 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 7: especially in an ultra physical division within Nick Bosas and 695 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,959 Speaker 7: Javon Hargrave and Aaron Donald and everything Pete Carroll tries 696 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 7: to do. So that's gonna go a long way. And look, 697 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,479 Speaker 7: let's face it, Kyler Murray's coming back from a knee 698 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 7: injury and he's got to be confident in his offensive 699 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 7: line and Craig We've seen it with every team in 700 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 7: this league at different times. When you're rebuilding an offensive line, 701 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 7: doesn't matter what you have for weapons, you're gonna have 702 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 7: the best set of receivers and running backs and tight ends. 703 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 7: If the offensive line isn't whole, if the offensive line 704 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 7: isn't reliable, it isn't stout, you're not gonna do much 705 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 7: of anything. Go back to two thousand and eight, Cardinals 706 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 7: had a Kwon Bolan and Larry Fitzgerald and Edgar and James. 707 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 7: But it's only until they got that offensive line correct. 708 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 7: And that same starting five played all year long, all 709 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 7: the way to Super Bowl forty three. They weren't the 710 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 7: best line in the league, but they were ultra reliable. 711 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 7: Everyone had confidence in that line. That's what you're trying 712 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 7: to achieve, at least in year one as this I 713 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 7: believe you know something they're gonna put more assets into 714 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 7: over the next couple of days. 715 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 6: Well ten different offensive line combinations a year ago, so 716 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 6: you're gonna want depth along that offensive line right now, 717 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 6: fifteen on the roster, counting Paris Johnson Junior. Is there 718 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 6: going to be another addition or additions as you look 719 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 6: ahead now to Day two and Day three of the 720 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 6: draft coming up? In round two, you got the thirty 721 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 6: third overall pick, that is the second pick in round 722 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 6: two and in three third round selections eighty one, ninety four, 723 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 6: and ninety six. My guess is, yeah, I think offensive line, 724 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 6: defensive line, edge rusher, cornerback. There's four positions right there. 725 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 6: You got four picks. Maybe you can check all every 726 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 6: single box. 727 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 7: And if Monti trades down from number thirty three overall, 728 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 7: I wouldn't be shocked either. There are a lot of 729 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 7: players that fell out of that first round that are 730 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 7: sitting there at top Round two. Cardinals have the second 731 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 7: pick in the second round. You gotta figure he's getting 732 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 7: a few phone calls, maybe not as many as last night. 733 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 7: I'm curious if he entertains though. 734 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 2: If not. 735 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, but Joey Porter Junior, is there a six to 736 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 7: two corner, Julius Brents out of Kansas State, a six 737 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 7: to three corner. I could see either one of those guys, 738 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 7: A Keon White out of Georgia Tech, the edge rusher 739 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 7: six five two eighty five with a lot of upside. 740 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 7: I think any of those players might make a lot 741 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 7: of sense at number thirty three, because you're right. 742 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 2: Look, you tracked it all the reports. 743 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 7: They had the top thirty visits, and it was between 744 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 7: the top thirty visits, the combine interviews, virtual interviews, Pro Days, 745 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 7: the Pro Days. The vast majority of the players the 746 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 7: Cardinals interviewed were offensive linemen, defensive lineman, slash, edge or corner. 747 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 7: There were some centers mixed in there. Round three. You know, 748 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 7: if you still have Steve Avola from TCU on the board, 749 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 7: I could see the Cardinals going center in round three. 750 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 7: I don't know how long John Michael Schmitz is gonna 751 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,439 Speaker 7: last from Minnesota, Juwe Scruggs out of Penn State. These 752 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 7: are all centers that the Cardinals might have their eyes on, 753 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 7: but there's no doubt I think that's the priority O line, 754 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 7: D line corner, and I think with these four picks today, 755 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 7: Cardinals probably hit every one of those position groups. 756 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,760 Speaker 2: Much more on the draft. 757 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 6: You can follow everything on asycardinals dot com and of 758 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 6: course on Saturday another Cardinals Draft Central show Myself, Paul, 759 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 6: Danny Surrek, the three of us will kind of recap 760 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 6: all three days. Will join you when the Cardinals with 761 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 6: their final pick of Day three, which right now is 762 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 6: two thirteen in the sixth round, we'll see if that maintains, 763 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 6: or again with two picks in the sixth round on 764 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 6: Day three, do you move up? 765 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 2: Do you move back? 766 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 6: Given what Money's done already, I've gotta be ready for everything. 767 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 7: What was the scoutnery Port going into this draft? No 768 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 7: one has any idea what the Houston Texans are going 769 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 7: to do, right, That was what that was the narrative. 770 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 7: No no one has any idea what the Cardinals are 771 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 7: going to do. What they did last night going from 772 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 7: three down to twelve back up to six. So once again, 773 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 7: everybody who has said that Hughson and gave up too 774 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 7: much good, that was the plan for the Arizona Cardinals. 775 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 7: Make somebody pay dearly for number three. Overall, still get 776 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 7: your guy in Paris Johnson Junior, and then just watch 777 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 7: and see if that first round pick isn't a top 778 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 7: three or top five pick next year. Right there, that's 779 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 7: just a big win in round one to me. My 780 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 7: overall takeaway, Paris Johnson Junior. Great, but man, that's gonna 781 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 7: pay off twofold when you have another really high pick 782 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 7: in round one next year. 783 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 2: Cardinals Draft Central. 784 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 6: Tune in on Saturday via the Cardinals Twitter account, YouTube channel, 785 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 6: Azycardinals dot com, or the mobile app until then.
