1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: We are often running and what was the and what 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: is the most unique draft in NFL history? Thirty two 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: picks are in the books. The first round is complete 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: and you're listening to the Move the Sticks Recap podcast 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: presented by FedEx. Glad to be here with you, Rett Lewis, 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: along with my guy, our former NFL's count, Bucky Brooks, 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: we got a chance to watch DJ on the joint 8 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: broadcast with NFL Networking ESPN. Thought um for the challenges 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: that everyone had with that broadcast and getting everyone's voices 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: in and the technology that was used that they did 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: a great job. DJ did a terrific job there with 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: some of his analysis on those picks that we saw 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: plenty of intrigue here. Bucky didn't start until we got 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: really to the fourth pick kind of went chalk with 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: Borrow number one to the Bengals, Chase Young number two 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: to the red Skins, and then Jeff Okuda number three 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: to the Lions. And it was just at that point 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: it had been kind of tame, right. Yeah, it changed 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: certainly when uh Andrew Thomas went to the Giants, but 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: let's just talking about those first three. Like Joe Burrow, 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: we expected that to happen. Uh. We thought that he 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: would go number one, and he did UH at number two. 23 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: The expectation was Chase Young was going to be the 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: cornerstone franchise player for Ron Rivera, based on what we've 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: seen with him and Julius Peppers, the way that he 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: has a defensive background, in the way that you can 27 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: envision him building this team. That wasn't surprised. I will 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: say this, I am still a little bit surprised that 29 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions took jeff Acuda. Not necessarily because Jeff 30 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Acuta's talents don't marry him being uh the number three 31 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: overall pick, is just that in in essence, the Detroit 32 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: Lions traded away Darius Slay for Jeffer Couta, and for 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: a team that lives in and dies playing man to 34 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: man coverage, it just seems um odd that they would 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: entrust a lot of responsibility UH in a make or 36 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: break year to a rookie cornerback. And I get it, 37 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: and there's a belief, particularly from those people that come 38 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: out of New England. If you check New England, UH 39 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: get young cornerbacks play man to man, do all the 40 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: O t A s to minicamps or whatever for four 41 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: or five years and then never pay them because you've 42 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: kind of run all the legs out of them. But 43 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: man Darius Slave was planning at a high level for them, 44 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: So it's a bit of a surprise that, um they 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: moved on from him for basically Jeff Kuder, Yeah, I 46 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: think that's that's good analysis because we talked about that situation. Um. Now, 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: they did go and sign Desmond Trufont free agency, right, 48 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,839 Speaker 1: so they've got They've got him to pair there as 49 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: an experience veteran with the rookie. But um, I it 50 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: kind of connects another pick much later in the first round, 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: in fact, is the third pick that the Miami Dolphins made, 52 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: making Noah Igbanagheny the third first round pick at number 53 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: thirty overall. Um a corner to pair with a guy 54 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: who they just paid in Byron Jones, and a guy 55 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: that they kept in Xavian Howard. So I think philosophically, 56 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: we see the emphasis of those with a patriot background 57 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: and roots in that system to havingly to have guys 58 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: who they believe will be really good cornerbacks and to 59 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: have a deep cornerback roster. Puck. Yeah, I think it 60 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: even goes deeper than that. I think when you look 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: at the Dolphins pick um athletic playmaker, straight line speed, 62 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: track and field background. Mom and dad were both uh 63 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: well renowned like athletes. And he is a guy that's 64 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: very very accomplished in high school as a track star, 65 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: converted to dB after playing wide receiver early at Auburn. 66 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: And what you see in his game is to administrate 67 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: line speed, very explosive, has recoverability, not quite polished as 68 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: I would say like a traditional corner in terms of 69 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: being able to play off, but nose the nose man 70 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: to man, his speed is an asset. And if you 71 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: think about who they brought over Byron Jones, well, Brian 72 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: Jones is very very similar. When he came out of 73 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: Connecticut Um, he was a guy that had explosive trades, 74 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: but was not necessarily a polished cover corner. So now 75 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: in that secondary, your first three guys Xavian Howard, Bryan Jones, 76 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: and and Noah how Ig Banogni um Igbogne gives them that. 77 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe he's necessarily a guy that can kick 78 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: us out to the slot. I would think one of 79 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: those other guys would do it. But certainly, if you're 80 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: gonna play that much man to man, you have to 81 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: invest in the position, and that's what the Miami Dolphins 82 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: have certainly done this off season. Yeah, no question, And obviously, 83 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: well we'll fill in the gaps here for you. We 84 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: skipped from pick number thirty three to number thirty here, 85 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: but a lot happening in between. There was a philosophical 86 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: connection there, I thought, with Brian Floores roots in New 87 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: England as well and that being there picked there at thirty. 88 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: So uh, once we got Joe Burrow off the board, 89 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: it kind of went, uh, former Buckeye to former Buckeye 90 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: to former Buckeye there with the top three considering Burrows 91 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: roots there in Ohio and at Ohio State before transferring 92 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: to l s U. And then the quarterbacks we did 93 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: see come off at five and six, kind of as 94 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: we had anticipated, although late in mock draft season it 95 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: certainly appeared that more people were expecting Justin Herbert to 96 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: end up with the Dolphins and not to a tunnel 97 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: by loa. It ends up being switched. The Dolphins get 98 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: to it and the and the Ellie Chargers get Justin 99 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: Herbert from Morgan. So how do you like those fits 100 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: for those two quarterbacks, Buck, I like both fits and 101 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: I think both of them work really really well. When 102 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: you think about to a tag Bola going to the 103 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. The reason why it works, I think Chan 104 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: Gailey does a great job working with young quarterbacks. I 105 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: think the system that Shane Gailey prefers to use one 106 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: that is really spread and open, very simple in terms 107 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: of the verbage. The concepts are very very clean. I 108 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: think in it really gives a young order back an 109 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: opportunity to have success. If you think about Ryan Fitzpatrick 110 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: first in Buffalo with Chan Gailey and then coming down 111 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: he hasn't played for him in Miami yet, but Ryan 112 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick was able to kind of spread and shred and 113 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 1: have success. To a talking about La has explosive UH 114 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: quickness and twitch as a thrower. I think it works 115 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: really really well at him being in Miami for the Chargers. 116 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is the perfect stretch bootleg quarterback to play 117 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: in the system that Anthony Lynn wants to put in 118 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: place in l A. He wants to run the old 119 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: Shanahan system where they run the outside zone, encounter it 120 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: with the bootleg coming out the back door world. That's 121 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: what Justin Herbert does. He does really well those off 122 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: play action. If you saw him at the end of 123 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: the year. His best games at the end of the 124 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: year that we talked about, the PACKTV Championship Game and 125 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl, he utilized his legs and athleticism. Followed 126 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 1: it up with a solid performance at the Senior Bowl. 127 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: I think it's easy to envision him playing in a 128 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: system like that and having success, especially with the playmakers 129 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: that they have on the outside. I like both fists 130 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: for both young quarterbacks. I think that those are it's 131 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: a ton of great points, and you know, I think 132 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch those guys. 133 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: They're both in situations where they won't be pressed into 134 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: duty right away, as we mentioned with fits Magic there 135 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins and Tyrod Taylor for the l A Chargers, 136 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: So we'll see if they get some time to kind 137 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: of find their way, especially with whatever truncated offseason we're 138 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: going to have this year due to the Corona virus 139 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: pandemic and and of course, a big part of tonight's 140 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: draft festivities was the Draft a thon, and Rich Eyesen 141 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: hosted it. A terrific cause supporting six charities trying to 142 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: get donations for everybody to help, uh stop the spread 143 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen and help those that have been affected 144 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 1: so greatly by the COVID nineteen pandemic. So that's also 145 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: a terrific piece of turning this draft into good. Um, 146 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: and it's already one of the most hopeful days of 147 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: the NFL calendar, right every everybody's team has a shot 148 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: on draft day, and so uh it gives everybody hope. 149 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: And um, most everybody leaves here pretty happy, I guess 150 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: unless you're you're maybe Aaron Rodgers, and oddly enough, um 151 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: you And that's not because he thinks he is in 152 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: some sort of quarterback competition. Now that the Packers drafted 153 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: Jordan's Love number twenty six, fourth quarterback off the board, 154 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: isn't it interesting that the quarterback with the most intrigue 155 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: and the selection of a quarterback with the most intrigue 156 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: is in fact the fourth one off the board, the 157 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: last one to come off the board in the first round. 158 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: We talked about it as a possibility, Bucky, with the 159 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: Packers taking a quarterback they could groom under Aaron Rodgers 160 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: at thirty. They end up trading up to six with 161 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins to make that pick in reality to 162 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: make Jordan's Love a Packer. So what do you make 163 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: of the trade up to make sure they got him? 164 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: And then the fit and then we'll get into how 165 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers will react to all this. Uh a couple 166 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: of things. Brian Ludikis has talked about quarterback being a priority. 167 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: I began to read about stuff in January about the 168 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: quarterback that the Packers would take a serious interest in. 169 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: Looking at the quarterback position. You want to make sure 170 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: that you have a successor in place for Aaron Rodgers, 171 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: and it's really smart to do it while Aaron is 172 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: still available and playing, because what you don't want to 173 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: do is Aaron to retire and then you have to 174 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: go into the off seating needing one, and if it 175 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: just happens to be a year where there's not one, 176 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: you reach and you don't get the guy that you want. 177 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: Jordan's Love was appealing to the Packers in my mind 178 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: because he's talented, he has a big arm, he can 179 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: make plays on the move, and if you squint, he 180 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: thus play the game in a style that is reminiscent 181 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers. So much of the conversation and the 182 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: similarities have been on Pat Mahomes. But who was Pat 183 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: Mahomes compared to when he came out Aaron Rodgers. And 184 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: so for the Packers, they're getting a similar style quarterback 185 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: that they can develop in a system that he will 186 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: see one of the greatest play in. It makes too 187 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: much sense for the Packers not to invest the top 188 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: pick and a player that is a cousin playing style 189 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: wise of the quarterback that they have in place. Yeah, 190 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: and and now I thought it was interesting. David Baktari 191 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: was on the draft of THN with Rich Eisen and 192 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: reacted to the pick of Jordan's love At and said, 193 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: you are about to see Aaron Rodgers on fire, not 194 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: enraged with anger, but that he actually believes that whatever 195 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: his reaction to this pick is will drive him to 196 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: the very best of his game. Bat saying he's seen 197 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers upset and let's say, frustrated, and how it 198 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: it ends up bringing the best out of him. Do 199 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: you feel like that might be the case here? And 200 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: how do you see the interaction between Rogers and love Bucky? Oh, 201 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean I think the reaction is going to be 202 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: a little frosty at first. I think for all of us. 203 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean in any business, like when you put the 204 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: young person behind us, you always look over your should 205 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: a little bit, and you you do let some of 206 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: your insecurities play out. I think some of that will 207 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: come into play with Aaron Rodgers because the difference with 208 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: Jordan's Love coming in. It's different when the guy that 209 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: the young guy they bring in is a second or 210 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: third rounder. When you bring in a first round pick, 211 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: there are plans for the first rounder to be a 212 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: significant contributor to the team, and when he plays his quarterback, 213 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: the clock starts as soon as he walks in the 214 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: building with the rookie contracts in five years and all 215 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: of that other stuff. At some point, Aaron Rodgers has 216 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: to know they're going to hand the ball to Jordan's 217 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: Love and so how comfortable are you in your own 218 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: skin to share information to the guy that you know 219 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: is going to take your job. Takes a real man 220 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: to be able to do that kind of stuff. You 221 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: have to be a real one to really be able 222 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: to deal with that and continue to play at a 223 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: high level while also helping the gap behind you learn 224 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: how to play at the same love. But now the 225 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: relationship between Brett Favarn Aaron Rodgers was a little frosty 226 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: at the beginning to write, I mean this is this 227 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: is not something that that Rogers will be unfamiliar with. 228 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: I wonder if that changes the way he approaches this 229 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: interaction in this relationship with Jordan's love, knowing how um 230 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: it was like for him in that situation at the 231 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: beginning of his career. So the the other thing is, 232 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: like we had talked about Brandon ayuk Um perhaps being 233 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: a nice fit for the Packers who could use some 234 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver help outside of Davantae Adams, right, and he 235 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: ends up being the pick that the forty Niners end 236 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: up taking. I think they ended up going on what 237 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: one spot ahead at number twenty five, trading with the 238 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: with the Vikings. So um, so you know, maybe that 239 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: was something that the Packers were considering. But um, I 240 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: guess the idea of not support not continuing to surround 241 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: Rogers with talent. And again we haven't seen the whole 242 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: play and unfold yet. This is just night one, pick one, 243 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: so that that's just something to think about as the 244 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Packers get on the clock here in the second and 245 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: the third round tomorrow. Are they going to do something 246 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: then to try to make the most of Aaron Rodgers's 247 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: final few years here with the Packers. The thing that 248 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: I would say, like, haven't been around an organization, haven't 249 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: played there, haven't seen the developmental plan when it comes 250 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: to wide receivers. Read they typically don't take first round receivers. 251 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: Like typically the sweet spot for the Packers has been 252 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: defined their receivers in the second round or the third round. 253 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if you go all the way back, I 254 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: mean way way back, Antonio Freeman, Robert Brooks, h Greg Jordison, 255 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: They've always been able to find those guys. On Day two, 256 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: Davante Adams was the second round pick, and so to me, 257 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: I felt like the second round or the third round, 258 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: Day two is gonna be the sweet spy for them 259 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: to find some white house. And because this class was, 260 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: in my mind, was loaded with playmakers, I just I 261 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: just believe that they certainly you can find on a 262 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: playmaker just around and Rodgers with and yeah, I'm with 263 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: you on that. I'm with you on that as well. 264 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: So A good night for Jordan's love is the fourth 265 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: quarterback off the board, and especially good night if you 266 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: were an offensive lineman, particularly a tackle, if you were 267 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: a wide receiver in this draft, and if you were 268 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: a cornerback. And I think that's probably related a little bit, um, 269 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: because those were the positions where we saw the most 270 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: players off the board. Six apiece seven, I guess if 271 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: you include the offensive lineman and in the interior as well, 272 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: and suesar Ruiz who kind of surprisingly went off the 273 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: board at number twenty four in the New Orleans Saints. 274 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: But uh, let's just start there. As I get to 275 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: kind of the other notable storylines from the night, and 276 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,359 Speaker 1: it really to me, it starts with those positions, with 277 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: with those three as we talked about on the last 278 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: preview podcast we had here, those are gonna be the 279 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: positions of depth where we see the most players picked, 280 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: and that ended up bearing true. Yeah, so it's all 281 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: about out the transformation on the National Football League into 282 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: a passing league. Um. The first round is the round 283 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: where you really go after what we call those foundational pieces, 284 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: those pieces that are essential to building a championship program. Well, 285 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: in the past, we had always talked about our quarterback, 286 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: pass rusher cornerback and then offensive tackle, and those are true, 287 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: but increasingly the wide receiver position has gained prominence in 288 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: terms of how people view it in the team building process. 289 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: And so to see six wide receivers and then to 290 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: see six quarnerbacks, well, people are knowing if they have 291 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: these explosive wide receivers, we've gotta have guys that can 292 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: cover them. And because so many of the corners in 293 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: this class were over six foot, is very appealing and 294 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: attractive and the like. And then with the offensive tackles, 295 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: if we're going to put the ball up, we need 296 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: to make sure that we protect the quarterback. That's why 297 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: you're seeing it. I think it's fascinating and I think 298 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how it continues to evolve 299 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: and play out when we get to Day two. Yeah, 300 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. Let's get to some of 301 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: our favorite picks of Round one. What stands out to 302 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: you here in this category? Buck, your favorite pick from 303 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: the first round? Man favorite pick? There's so many to 304 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: choose from, like with all of the wide receivers that 305 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: are there. Um I mentioned justin Jefferson going to the 306 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings because he's a Stefan Digs clone. But I'm 307 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: gonna go a little before that. Let's go with Jerry 308 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: Judy going to the Denver Broncos. And the reason I'm 309 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: gonn point out Jerry Judy going to the Broncos is 310 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: not because I think it's a great situation with him 311 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: playing opposite Courtland Sudden is. Past Shermer as a play 312 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: caller was at his best in Minnesota when he had 313 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: Adam Feeling and Stefan Digs. Jerry Judy is a route 314 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: runner in that same class, polished, precise, does a great 315 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: job of getting open. When Past Shermer is putting in 316 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: this system, he is going to create some opportunities for 317 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy to be a dynamic playmaker. I love the fit. 318 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: I think Jerry Judy eventually becomes a number one receiver 319 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: with Coreland seven being the number two uh at sometimes Yeah, 320 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: and you talked about Justin Jefferson. I thought that was 321 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: a home run pick there for the Vikings at twenty two, 322 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: and it just so happens to be the pick that 323 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: they got in the Stefan Drake Digs trade. So you 324 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: get some salary cap value there, and a guy who 325 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: was a ultra productive wide receiver at l s U 326 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: this last year and a really good player, so to 327 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: pair there with Adam Feeling. Um, I gosh, I've struggled 328 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: with this. My favorite pick in this draft. I I 329 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: really think that it that it ends up being a 330 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: guy like Ceedee Lamb, who kind of fell down the 331 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: board just a little bit. I thought he might be 332 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 1: the first receiver off the board, ends up being the 333 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: third wide out taken. And it's the Cowboys who have 334 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: an elite playmaker with elite run after the catch skills 335 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: fall right into their lap there at seventeen. And that 336 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: was kind of a really hard selection for me to 337 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: make when I was mocking the draft, Um, like, what 338 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: are the Cowboys gonna do? The receivers are gone, the 339 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: edge rushers are gone, the top two corners are gone. 340 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: But here they come with Ceedee Lamb falling right into 341 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: their laps at seventeen. And credit to the Cowboys, who 342 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: I assume trusted their board here and took what was 343 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: the best player available, and they got a heck of 344 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: a playmaker to team up there with not only a 345 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: Marie Cooper, but with Michael Gallop, with Ezekiel Elliott. There 346 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: that is. I mean, what a fantastic trio of wide receivers. 347 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: They're gonna be able to trot out there puck. Yeah, 348 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: they have a lot of fun. Vine McCarthy's gonna have 349 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: a lot of fun with these guys and uh ritt. 350 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: I've been calling Ceedee Lamb DeAndre Hopkins plus throughout the 351 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: run up. But then when I go back and I 352 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 1: look at this and I think about Mike McCarthy's influence, 353 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: I think he does have some Davante Adams in his game, 354 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: maybe even a little more explosive. And when you playing 355 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's offense and offense that's really built on quick 356 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: rhythm passes, UH plays that are designed to get the 357 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: ball in the hands of the wide receiver quickly and 358 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: lift them UH feed off and run after catch. A 359 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: guy like Ceedee Lamb is going to absolutely crush it 360 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: in that And with the attention being placed on Amari 361 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: Cooper as the number one and Michael Gallup emerging as 362 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: a solid number two, Ceedee Lamb just kind of slotting 363 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: in there, um as the number three, you are the 364 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: slot receiver or whatever you want to call him. I 365 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: think it's gonna work well. And as you're building this 366 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: offense to really enhance what Dak Prescott does. I just 367 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: like surrounding him with playmakers. They can do a variety 368 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: of different things. I like what Dallas is doing, uh 369 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: and really building up this offense. Well, let's bring the 370 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: third member of our crew in here. Daniel Jeremiah is 371 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 1: on the broadcast tonight's of Night one of the draft 372 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: on the joint broadcast between ESPN and NFL Network, has 373 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: his favorite pick of round one. Let's get to that 374 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: right now, Nobile roll that tape. This is this is 375 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: outstanding by John Lynch. You trade the force Buckner, you 376 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: get the thirteenth pick, you trade back to fourteen, get 377 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 1: an extra pick, and you replace the forced Buckner at 378 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: the same position with a younger, cheaper player. John Lynch 379 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: putting that Stanford education to good use. So DJ, they're 380 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: complementing general manager John Lynch, who's no stranger to moving 381 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: up and down the draft board. Here did it again 382 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: at the back end of the first round, coming up 383 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: uh to get the receiver that they wanted in Brandon. 384 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: I you just a little interesting, but back to this 385 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: javon Kinlaw pick. Here, we we kind of thought this 386 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: might be the pick at thirteen. They end up moving 387 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: back one spot getting an extra believe it was the 388 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: third round pick to go ahead and make this deal 389 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Bucks and still get the guy 390 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: that that they probably wanted a thirteen in Javon Kimla, 391 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: who again just feels like a replacement for DeForest Buckner 392 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: who they sent to the Colts and then got this 393 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: very pick in return. So and I love the idea 394 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: of continuing to fortify a position that's already a strength 395 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: on your team. Buck Yeah, Bill strength on strength Um. 396 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine is really Um did a 397 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: great job of being able to ship off the Forest 398 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: buck Um before they really had to give him big, 399 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: big bucks, and then they get a replacement for him 400 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: that is very, very similar in terms of playing style, length, 401 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: the position that he plays, and everything. That's uncommon for 402 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: the board to fall like that where it really works 403 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: out for them, but it did, so kudos to them, 404 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: and then for them to go back and we've talked 405 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: about Brendon and yoke coming, I think the one thing 406 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: that played out um in the draft in the first round, Man, 407 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: if you just sit and take the best player available, 408 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: you're going to have an opportunity to get really good players, 409 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: and even though it may put you in a position 410 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: where you have a surplus, I e. The Dallas Cowboys 411 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: who didn't really need a wide receiver, but they took one. 412 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine is who already had four 413 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: first round picks on their d line, but they take 414 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: another one. Um. I just think it works. I think 415 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: just basically like the basic premise of I'm gonna rank 416 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: these guys according to the talent, and if one of 417 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: those guys are sitting in when it's time for us 418 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: to pick, we're gonna take them. I think it works. 419 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: And because of the conservative nature of how people had 420 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: their approach it, I think there were more teams that 421 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: are willing to stick to the b F the b 422 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: p A. Yeah, best player available um for the PBu 423 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: the primary backup, but a p p A works, do 424 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: ma man um. So those are a look at some 425 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: of our favorite picks a round one, and we could 426 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: have gone on and on. I thought Caleb and Chason 427 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: was a really good pick by the Jaguars at number 428 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: twenty took coupled with what ended up being a really 429 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: nice first round with C. J. Henderson at number nine. 430 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, if it was best player available, great, because 431 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: it's certainly aligned with need for the Jaguars. They needed 432 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: a corner after trading away everybody at the cornerback spot, 433 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: and the same thing with the edge rusher, depending on 434 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: what happens with Unique and goaqwa. Um. Now it happens 435 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: every year, right, we get some surprising picks, whether it 436 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 1: be where someone was taken, the team that took them, 437 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: or just the player in general sneaking into the first 438 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: round after being talked about more as a D two player. Bucky, 439 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: You're most rising pick and round one? How does that 440 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: sit for you? Okay, I'm gonna say I like to pick, 441 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna still say there's one of the more 442 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: surprising ones of the draft. And I'm saying, Damon Armnett 443 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: going to the Las Vegas Raiders. Um. The reason it's 444 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: surprised because he really wasn't on the grid when you 445 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,959 Speaker 1: look at the top five lists, so you look at 446 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: the top fifties, like he he didn't necessarily make an appearance. 447 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: But here's why I like it, because I'm going back 448 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at my notes, and in my notes, 449 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: what I wrote down was four year player, very experienced, 450 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: great eyes, great discipline and coverage, a guy who um 451 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: is a versatile technician, meaning he can play up, he 452 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: can play off, he can baild, he can play man 453 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: or his own, all those things. So when you listen 454 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: to that report, that report is a fairly glowing assessment. 455 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: In my notes I wrote down, I gave him a 456 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: mid the top of the second round grade, but I 457 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: put a plus by meaning that I could see him 458 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: going up. And when I took these notes, the notices 459 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: it from prior to the combine. And I think for 460 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: our Nette, he's just a solid player. And I think 461 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: the one thing that Mike Mayock and John Gruden have 462 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: done of late, they've really tried to get like these 463 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: blue ship players that are just solid all the way around. 464 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: UH football is first football as a priority, and they've 465 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: got him from big schools where you see the championship programs, 466 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: championship programs, and so as you're trying to change the culture, 467 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: I think it's very very important that you get guys 468 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: that understand how to win at the highest level. And 469 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: they have taken prospects that played at the highest level 470 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: in the collegiate game. Yeah, we saw it last year 471 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: with Cleveland Farrel at number four and then of course 472 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: going oh no, I mean Josh Jacobs and John Yeah, 473 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: they invested in guys that um kind of played at 474 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: at big programs and had a lot of success and 475 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,479 Speaker 1: has helped them kind of turn the corner. Yeah, so 476 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: they ended up going there with as you said, Damon Arnette, 477 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: his buddy Jeff Kuda ends up going I think of 478 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: what was it, sixteen spots ahead of them there at 479 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: number three overall to the Detroit Lions. Uh, surprising pick 480 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: for me, and I guess I can relate it back 481 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: to the forty Niners taking Javon kin Law at fourteen, 482 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: but the Saints taking Caesar Ruise at twenty four. Now, 483 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: you could consider the offensive line for the Saints already 484 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: a position of strength. You've got a guy that they 485 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: drafted in the second round last year and Eric McCoy 486 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: who graded out among the best rookie centers rookie offensive 487 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: linemen in the league last year. You've got two very 488 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: well compensated guards already in Larry Wharford and Andrew's Pete 489 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: who they just extended, and then two really good tackles 490 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: and Ryan Ramchick and Tehrn Armstead, and I'm just wondering 491 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: is there any room at the end for Caesar Louise, 492 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: the interior offensive lineman from Michigan. So, but that goes 493 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: back to what I was saying about the fort Niners 494 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: taking Kim Law. Go ahead and continue to fortify a 495 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: position of strength. And if we go back and we 496 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: look at years pasted with with New Orleans and we 497 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: look at their philosophy and trying to protect Drew Brees, 498 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: they have always made commitments on the interior offensive line. 499 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: You go back to Jarry Evans who ended up being 500 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl guard. You go back to Carl Nicks, 501 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: who was a Pro Bowl guard, and they ended up 502 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,479 Speaker 1: paying those guys a ton of money. Um. And then 503 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: Jonathan Goodwin was a really good player at center for 504 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: them for a long time, and then they traded for 505 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: Max Hunger and they made him a centerpiece of their 506 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: offense along that offensive line. The philosophy has always been 507 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: there to try and have really good players. Ben Grubbs 508 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: coming in from the Eagles at one point right um 509 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: to help out there at guard for the States. So 510 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: they have always placed an emphasis on getting those players 511 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: on the interior of the offensive line with its center 512 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: and a guard. And so I guess, to me, then 513 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: that makes sense with the pick of Ruise. The surprising 514 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: part of it is we kind of thought of him 515 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: more bucky as a Day two pick, right, Yeah, And 516 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: so like here's the thing where when we getting to 517 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: the bottom of the first round, I'll say this, like 518 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: guys rank from twenty to forty, they can find themselves 519 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: in or out of the first round just based on 520 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: UH need, based on style and how it fits within 521 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: the scheme. Ruise was a bit of a surprise. We 522 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: heard the buzz about him being a first round pick, 523 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: but when I looked at the tape, he didn't strike 524 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: me as um necessarily an elite player. I thought he 525 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: was good. I thought he did a great job in 526 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: terms of identifying, making calls. Um, he was a solid 527 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: position blocker in the running game and solid in the 528 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: past and pass protection. But I didn't get necessarily a 529 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: standout of premier player. But you know, in this league, 530 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: we're seeing UH beauties in the eye of the beholder 531 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: and Sean fad and obviously he saw something Ruise that 532 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: let him believe that he would be a starter early 533 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: because when we take a guy in the first round, 534 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: you expect them to start and be a key contributor 535 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: right out the gate. And so somehow as they Reacheduffle 536 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: that line, I would have to think that he gets 537 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: in there, so he could easily come in as a 538 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: sixth off to linement if need be. Um, although not 539 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: not a the tackle spot, and that's often where we see, 540 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: like if you're gonna use six offensive linemen at once 541 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: that it wasn't necessarily what I'm saying, but Um saying 542 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: is as a to come in both at the center 543 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: position in the guard position. Would you view Ruise or 544 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: McCoy as more likely to play guard in the NFL? 545 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: Any idea there? Who you know? Like, normally, when you're 546 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: evaluating those guys, typically, uh, they've had the practice at 547 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: all three spots, cross training center, they've been cross trained, 548 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: and so I think what you do, because man McCoy 549 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: was a young player has some success, I think you 550 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: kind of put the onus early on Ruise to see 551 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: if he can play guard, and then you just kind 552 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: of reshuffle the deck. Um. Normally, in these situations you 553 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: have those guys alternate or play different spots and just 554 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: kind of see which is what is the best combination 555 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: of five that we can put on the field, and 556 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: then let's try and put them in the right spots 557 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: so they can be effective. And so, uh, we'll see 558 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: how this plays out. Yeah, and again let's see Larry 559 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: Warford on the hook. Cap hit just under thirteen million 560 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: this year, but only five million in dead caps. So 561 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: there you go. You already made it, GM, you made it. 562 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: You already done made a call. I don't already made 563 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: it big. So now Larry Warford is listened to the podcast, 564 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: he's destraught because you've already told himbout. Hey, Larry, I'm 565 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 1: just letting you know June one, you're probably gonna get 566 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: a phone call. But first, but this is the last 567 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: year of his deal. He's an unrestricted free agent next year, 568 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: so they could just be continuing to think in the 569 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: future there with ruise. For the record, I loved Larry Warford. Um, 570 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: he was an original pick of the Detroit Lions when 571 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: my dad was there as the trainer. Uh. In a year, 572 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: they ended up starting Larry Warford as a rookie. I 573 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: believe he ended up being on the All Rookie team 574 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: and Adrian Waddle as a free agent that year at 575 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: right tackle in a really really good draft there for 576 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: Martin Mayhew with the Detroit Lions. Anyway, I digress um, 577 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: so that the that was my thought on a surprising pick. 578 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: Let's get DJ's thoughts on one of his surprising picks 579 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: of the night from the broadcast that we saw on 580 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: ESPN and NFL Network. Detrey started forty one games in 581 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: the SEC's played left tackle, he's played right tackle. You know, 582 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,959 Speaker 1: everybody had these tackles in a different order. For me, 583 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: he was my fourth offensive tackle. But I do feel 584 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: like he has a very high floor. You know exactly 585 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: what you're getting with him. He's gonna be able to 586 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: uprood people in the run game, and he's gonna have 587 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: a firm anchor in past protection to hold up there. 588 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: I did not see elite recoverability, elite quickness, or elite athleticism. 589 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: I think that they've got themselves a solid steady player, 590 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: but I thought there were better options on the board 591 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: at the position at this point in time. If they 592 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: were gonna go tackle. Yeah, you know, I thought that 593 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: was really interesting as well. DJ brought up the fact 594 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: that Andrew Thomas ends up being the first tackle off 595 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: the board. Certainly no surprise, Bucky that the Giants end 596 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: up ended up taking a tackle. A bit of a 597 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: surprise that it is Thomas, oftentimes mocked as the fourth 598 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: tackle off the board as we were leading up to 599 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: this draft. Why do you think Thomas was the fit 600 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: there for the Giants And were you surprised by that 601 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: at all? Uh? I can't say that I was necessarily surprised. 602 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: I think if you go back and you look at, uh, 603 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: Dave Gettleman's history, he typically kind of puts it right 604 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: in the middle of the fairway, like he just kind 605 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: of almost a bit of a safe pick. And Andrew Thomas, 606 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: to me, was safe because you watched him play forty 607 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: one games. He had forty one stars in three seasons. Uh, 608 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: you know exactly what you're getting. Like he he can 609 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: move people off the ball in the running game. He 610 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: saw it as a pass protector and for the Giants 611 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: to Jazz couldn't afford to have a blatant with And 612 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: even though some of the other guys had more upside 613 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: and potential, I think David Gettleman to a comfort in 614 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: just knowing, Hey, I'm just gonna take solid. If you 615 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: get a solid player, we will be fine. And I 616 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: think that's why you went in that direction. Let me 617 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: ask you this real quick as a follow up, because 618 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: we saw it a little bit with the Cleveland brown Owns. 619 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: But on the opposite side, the Browns ended up taking 620 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: Jeddrick Wills, a an absolute right tackle in this draft, right, 621 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: that's all he played at Alabama, and they had just 622 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: spent big money on a right tackle in Jack Conklin. 623 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: So got to assume they see the rookie as a 624 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: potential switch over to left. I'm wondering if that's also 625 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: what they're seeing here, at least early on in New York, 626 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: knowing that they have Nate Solder even though he hasn't 627 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: quite performed to the level that they probably expected when 628 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: they signed him to that big money deal a couple 629 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: of years ago. And then you take a guy who's 630 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: played left tackle at least the last couple of years, 631 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: but did start his Georgia career right Bucky at right tackle. 632 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: Did you see Angea Thomas starting at right tackle as 633 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: a rookie and then maybe eventually taking over for Solder 634 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: at left Yeah, I can see him playing right tackle. Um, 635 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: he has that in his game. He certainly has been 636 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: comfortable on this side. And if you can, you try 637 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: and get the young guy to move more so than 638 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: the ode gay and so Uh, Andrew Thomas, I can 639 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 1: see uh starting his career playing right tackle. And then 640 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: you figured out to go back to Jedrick Wills because 641 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: you mentioned this about Jeddri playing right tackle. Just remember 642 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: to talk about low up was a left end of 643 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: quarter blind blind sided protector. Actually he actually played on 644 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: his blind side, and so sometimes it can be weird 645 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: for guys to switch their stance and go to the 646 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: left side. I think he's athletic enough to do it. 647 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: I think he could feel that their role as a 648 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: left tackle if need be. I think you're right, Um. 649 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm just getting some reaction from 650 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: some of the uh some of my buddies who cover 651 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: the Saints um and the headline of one of their 652 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: articles here on the Athletic the Saints did not draft 653 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: Caesar Ruiz to be a backup. Interesting thought there, So 654 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: they're going to figure out a place for him to 655 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: end up the starting five. At least that's what the 656 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: thought processes down in New Orleans right now. Anyway, UM, so, okay, 657 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: so that we we hit the offensive lineman, we've covered 658 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: most of the storylines that we we see saw A 659 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,719 Speaker 1: night one certainly was interesting to see Clyde Edwards Hilaire 660 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: go number thirty two over all to end up the draft. 661 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: No DeAndre Swift in the first round, which means he's 662 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: available as we enter day To give me an idea 663 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: of what you think the Bengals are thinking, whether they're 664 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: gonna sit and pick. That's always a popular trade destination 665 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: right overnight as teams try to say, I gotta get 666 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: my guy that's available, now, how do I get that 667 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: pick from the Bengals? UM, give me a pick for 668 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: the Bengals there, and then maybe a couple of guys 669 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: that you see as your best available here heading into 670 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: day two, well, obviously we're started to Bengles with the Bengals. 671 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 1: I think he could be an offensive tackle. And so 672 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: there are two guys that are top of the board 673 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: that could be available, as are Cleveland from Boise State. 674 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: UM has certainly got an interest in games steamed of 675 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: late and in Joshua Jones from Texas from Houston is 676 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: also available. I think either one of those guys would fit. Um, 677 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: they have a bit of a need at offensive tackle. 678 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: They have Bobby Hart uh that is playing on the 679 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: rice app but certainly they can look to upgrade that. 680 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: They have Jonah Williams coming back off an injury he 681 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: missed most of his He missed all of his rookie season, 682 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: so maybe they go that route. A couple of the 683 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: guys to think about. DeAndre Swift obviously is a big name. 684 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: H J. K. Dobbins. The running backs, we should see 685 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: plenty of running backs fly off the board. Uh in 686 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: the second and third rounds Uh Zavian McKinney, Grant Delpit 687 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: to safety's safety regarded didn't go in the first round. 688 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: I think they could go UM and then Jalen Johnson, 689 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: the corner from Utah that we thought my bit of 690 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: a surprise round, a little bit of a surprise that 691 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: he didn't necessarily make it all the way in there. 692 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: But um, they're a ton of like where we are 693 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: right now. The second the second round, plenty of really 694 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: good players that you can get that can come in 695 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: and fit in for wide receivers. Pay close attention to 696 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: the wide receivers that are selected in this round. Coming 697 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: up in the second round because the last couple of 698 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: years we've seen the second round wide receivers have emerged 699 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: and popped as stars down the line. Te Higgins, Denzel Mims, 700 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: Laviska Channaults among those we expect to come off the 701 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: board very quickly in the second round here, um and 702 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: I think, Uh, I think you're right on those tackles 703 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: coming off for the Bengals. That would certainly make some 704 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: sense there. Um and Yeah, it was a bit of 705 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: a surprise to Nazee Jalen Johnson into Nazi Trayvon Diggs 706 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: when we had six cornerbacks in the first round. Also 707 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: a bit of a surprise to not see that second 708 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: tier of the edge rushers really developed with u tour 709 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: responsive Yeah, and and a j Epanessa if you believe 710 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: he was in that group as well. So those are 711 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: some of the names that we can expect to see 712 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,720 Speaker 1: uh in Day two, second round, in third round, starting 713 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: with the Bengals at pick number thirty three, And once 714 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: those picks are all wrapped up, we will be right 715 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: back here with you on the Move the Sticks podcast 716 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: to recap those Day two picks and get you set 717 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: for Day three as well.
