Speaker 1: thank yous. That's right. That's what you're supposed to be

27
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: able to read it. Yeah and find it. You know

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: you have the stuff out up over there. Well, I

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff just in case I need

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: to research. You know, when you get a little older,

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: you start forgetting things you're supposed to research before you though,

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: I've done some research as a matter of Look at

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: this page I spent yesterday morning of those cowboys are

34
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: drafting the ones in pink these are This is a

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: page of the free agent offensive linemen in the league,

36
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: and I went through to find out how many guys

37
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: have these, how many games of these guys started? What's

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: available out on the open market? Do you have to

39
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: take a guard in the first round? Can't take a guard?

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: That's right, you can't take a guard. So what are

41
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: the other options out there? If I mean, you can't

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: take any more than one position in the first round

43
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: unless you're going to trade your whole draft and get

44
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: up into the first round and you're only going to

45
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: take two players in the whole draft. H And so

46
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: I figure, you know what you need to see what

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: else is available out there, and these guys on this

48
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: sheet right here will probably well, there are there are

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: several guys on this sheet right here who are veteran

50
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: free agents who don't have jobs right now, who in

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two would do a better job playing left

52
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: guard for you than a guy that even that you

53
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: draft in the first round perhaps, and especially if they

54
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: don't have a job. On May first, that's right after

55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: the draft, and everybody's bringing in their guys and they're

56
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: all excited about him. And if you don't have a job,

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: you're knocking on the door right and saying, okay, I'm available,

58
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: and the price goes down. And I'm just talking about

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: for this year. Yeah, the first round, a first round pick,

60
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: you're drafted him not only for this year, but you're

61
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: drafted him for the next five years, correct, and then

62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: hopefully you're you wanted to sign him to a second contract.

63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: That's like a Maria Cooper. Does that sound like a

64
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper in what in what way we signed him?

65
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: He came on. Uh, well they didn't get we didn't

66
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: get him a one year deal. Yeah, we came we

67
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: bothered me in for the Hopes who having five years

68
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: with him, and then we signed it to another deal. Right. Yeah,

69
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about the rookie the second the second contract, which,

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: by the way that you brought that up. Cleveland redid

71
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: his contract the twenty million in health. Yeah, in production

72
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: or failure. Uh, they turned his twenty million dollars base salary.

73
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: They paid him eighteen point eight million in a restructured

74
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: bonus and spread that over five years. Okay, paid him

75
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: a one point uh one two base salary this year

76
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: and his cap hit his only four point nine million, wow,

77
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: and they spread it over the eighteen million they gave

78
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: him at signing bonus, So he gets that already. And uh.

79
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: And they put two voidable years on the on the

80
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: back end of the three years that remained on his contract.

81
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: And so while the Cowboys paid six million dollars in

82
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: dead money to get rid of them, they redid his

83
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: contract over basically three years, and so his cap hit

84
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: for this year for the Cleveland Browns four points four

85
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: point eight nine six million dollars. Yeah, so they reduced

86
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: twenty million to four point eight nine to six. So

87
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys could have done that save fifteen millions. They

88
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: could have if they want to, right, So it was

89
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: conceivable that for a four point nine million dollars a

90
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: hit on your salary cap right now, the Cowboys could

91
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: have redone that deal correct and kept him and kept him.

92
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: So it was why did they not do it? Was

93
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: their decision, you know. They can say, well it was

94
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: cap saving, but what it was was they didn't want

95
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: to invest more money in him down the road, like

96
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: push more money back down the road, you know. And

97
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: it's the same decision they made with Lele Collins, right,

98
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do that. They decided from a

99
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: cap saving standpoint, they can absorb his dead money and

100
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: then pay Terrence Steel no more than probably eight hundred

101
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and some thousand dollars to start at right tackle. I mean,

102
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: that was the conscious decision. Now, you got to be right, right,

103
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: because it's not like you know, you had your hand

104
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: twisted to do that. That doesn't make me feel any

105
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: better that it regl ass to Cooper. I wasn't trying

106
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: to make that saddens me. That saddens me that that

107
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, they had a chance to keep him and

108
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: didn't want to keep him. You know what that means

109
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: They've got somebody and more several guys that might be

110
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: available to them in this draft who they feel they'd

111
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: rather have right now and on into the future. And

112
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: free agency. You don't think so itself. We've got some

113
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: good free agents. I mean you you mentioned the offensive

114
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: linemen available and free. And see, if I had more

115
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: time this morning, I would have done wide receivers. Too

116
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: busy right now. Pretty I just knew he's gonna ask

117
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: me about wide receivers. I just didn't have time to

118
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: do it this morning. But there I can do the

119
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: same process on wide receivers. So there are receivers out there.

120
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to get my money right here. Um, Jarvis

121
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: Landry was visiting the Saints yesterday. Uh, five time pro bowler.

122
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: But again, when you talk about a guy like that,

123
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: it's like, well, how much how much is gonna cost?

124
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: Because his base salary in twenty twenty one was twelve

125
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: point five million, So he ain't he doesn't figure he's

126
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: coming cheap, right, We're not you know, bottom basement bargain

127
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: price here um. But again last year, for whatever reason,

128
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, he had fifty two catches for five hundred

129
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: and seventy yards and two touchdowns. So does he have

130
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: to this is his ninth season. Has he got to

131
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: re establish himself as a top wide receiver? And how

132
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: much are you gonna pay for that? And that's what

133
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: it comes down to those guys right now, right, how

134
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: much are you gonna pay? Which is a matter of

135
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: fact and will be careful how I say this with

136
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel asking for a trade, Well, here's why. I

137
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: heard people talk about it for ten minutes this morning

138
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: on the radio, and they didn't get to the reason why.

139
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: He's in the last year of his contract at three

140
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: point nine million, and he just saw these wide receivers

141
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: get paid thirty million, twenty eight and a half million, right,

142
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: and he's thinking, Hm, I'm maybe more valuable than they.

143
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: That reasoning never came up, and though, no, no, it

144
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: was like, I don't understand what happened. He had such

145
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: a good relationship there, and it's like, well, here's what happened.

146
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: And the last year of his base salary because he's

147
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: a second round pick, right, so he's only gets four

148
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: years that last year. There's no more guaranteed money, by

149
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: the way, So that's what this is all about. Yeah,

150
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: how could things have gone wrong? He was the guy

151
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: carrying the boom box on the field that stadium, was

152
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: the called his own number. He called his own number,

153
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: and yeah cowboy and if San Francisco watched the game,

154
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: he's the reason they beat the Cowboys. Right, So I

155
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: was just throw that out and and oh but but

156
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: he liked a tweet of a picture of him in

157
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: a Cowboys uniform with Ceedee Lamb in the picture. That's

158
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: that's good. That's that's where where we're living in today,

159
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: where you you've got you can push your own there.

160
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: They're very easy. Well, and it's in members of our profession.

161
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: Do you think he thought of all that by himself

162
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: for his age? Oh, there must be something to this

163
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: because he liked to tweet with him at the Cowboys uniform.

164
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: He wants to come play for the Cowboys. He also

165
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: want he also wants to make twenty five million dollars

166
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: a year. He ain't coming to the Cowboys. And it

167
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: just shows you how quickly social media can take this

168
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: thing over right, scrubbed his Instagram account. That's right, as Kyler.

169
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: As Kyler got his Instagram back, going, yeah, you don't

170
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: have to be a genius just to make a bunch

171
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: of crap up. And by the way, Kyler's about the

172
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: same boat that the debot is, right right, So um,

173
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: all right, so what what do you want to get

174
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: to on your legal pad? Well, um, I'm trying to

175
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: remember the timing of last week? Did we did? We

176
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: were on Thursday? That was Thursday, Kelvin Joseph. Was it

177
00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: came out after Thursday or Friday? Yeah, of course it did. So. Yeah,

178
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: we spent all last Thursday talking about the primary needs.

179
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: That's right, That's right. We talked about needs. So that

180
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: I got the questions. I got the text message from

181
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: Bill he goes, wow, you might put cornerback on it.

182
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Not again. We just did this last year, right, we did?

183
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: All right? So, I mean he's out here working out. Yeah, so,

184
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: but you just you don't know. Now they may know,

185
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: we don't know. You know, it's not like what's going

186
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: to happen with them. And by the way, the NFL

187
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: could have a say in it also, So if if

188
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: there is a possible suspension that we could be dealing

189
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: with this season two. So you're talking about your fourth

190
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: corner who that's who? So what realistic? Okay, let's say

191
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: wipe the slate clean and you got Anthony Brown? Do

192
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: you got Treyvon Diggs, you got Jordan Lewis. Who's your

193
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: top three corners? Okay? Where do you want your second

194
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: round draft pick cornerback uh to be slotted this year

195
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: on the depth chart? I want him challenging for one

196
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: of those other two top three spots. I'm gonna give

197
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs his spot, right, Anthony Brown's in the last

198
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: year of his contract. Jordan Lewis. Okay, they signed him,

199
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: but he might have two years look it up here

200
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. He signed a three

201
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: year deal. But you would like to challenge him, right,

202
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: And that's what his job should have been. His eyes

203
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: should have been squarely on Jordan Lewis in his position.

204
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: Yeah to me, that's that's that's all you're looking or

205
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: however it worked out because if if he was good

206
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: enough to start at left corner, Anthony Brown has played

207
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: the slot, he can move inside. If they thought he'd

208
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: do it better than Jordan Lewis. Okay, you look, that's

209
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: what they did last year at times? Right, all right,

210
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: you look at the inventory and the at cornerback and

211
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: what's left on their contract, and you were right. Jordan

212
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: Lewis has two years left on his contract. Anthony is

213
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: going into the second year of his contract. If you

214
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: look at, okay, who is going to be what cornerbacks

215
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: are going this time next year? If they don't do

216
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: anything with anybody's contract between now and next year at

217
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: this time, what is your inventory at cornerback and what's

218
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: left on their deal? Okay, Trayvon Diggs would have we'll

219
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: be going into his last year. No, he should have

220
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: four years. He's going into his third. He's going into

221
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: his third right now, so he'll be going into his

222
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: fourth year. In the second round draft pick, right, he's

223
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: going to the last year. This is next year, twenty

224
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: twenty three. Okay, Because I think when you're looking at

225
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: the draft, we get caught up in Okay, what needs

226
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: they have right now? Right? What about the needs they're

227
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: going to have a year from now and the year

228
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,479
Speaker 1: after that and the year after that. And that's why

229
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: the second round pick on Joseph that's right, and so

230
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: Diggs a year from now, Diggs will be going into

231
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: his last year. Lewis is going into his last year now,

232
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph would be going would have two years left

233
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: on his deal, and then to Sean Wright as well,

234
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: and Anthony Browns and Anthony Brown's a free agent next year.

235
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: So you've got a need a year from now for

236
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: a starting cornerback because Anthony Brown's deal is up, He's

237
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: going into the last year of his deal. And if

238
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: you just look at this year, he would at least

239
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: been your at the very least right compete. If he

240
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: doesn't win, he's your fourth corner. So if there's one injury,

241
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: he's on the field right now. After that, all you

242
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: got is Nishan Right and Kron Brown. If there's no

243
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph, CG CG C J. Goodwin is a corner

244
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: but he's a special teams guy, right, That's why he's here.

245
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: So let's let's say pick the number of games. Let's

246
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: say Joseph is out for for this, Okay, for a

247
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: number of games, then I mean you've got a definite

248
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: need right now for a cornerback. Yes, yea, And he

249
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: hopes It's only a suspension, right, so anyway, there's a

250
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: need there safety. A year from now. Curse has a

251
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: two year deal, so he'll be he'll have one year left.

252
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Hooker has one year left, and Mukuamu would have two

253
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: years left a year from now, and Wison he's going

254
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: into his last year. He's a free agent after this year,

255
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: so I mean, you can make you And by the way,

256
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: Demante CAZy okay, who have apparently visited the Seahawks this week,

257
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: how many snaps did he play? What was his percentage

258
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: of naps that he played last year. I'm gonna guess.

259
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: I can look it up, but I'm gonna guess off

260
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: the top of my head. It was about he played.

261
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Neil, I was stay Neil, Yes, Yes,

262
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: And so we're sitting here and thinking, oh, we got

263
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: safety taken care of, okay, because they signed Curse, they

264
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: signed Hooker, and they got Donovan. Wow. That's another but

265
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: the way they the way Dan Quinn and Joe Witt

266
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: employed their secondary guys and the sub packages, they used

267
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: those safeties a lot last year, and that was another

268
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: conscious decision to not Now I don't know if they

269
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: loadballed him on trying to resign him, but they didn't

270
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: make it a priority to bring them back. Right. Well,

271
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: when you look at the end of the season, his

272
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: productivity plays, I guess, went up, but plays made went down, yes,

273
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: And that was something that was glaring. Plays played went up, right, yes,

274
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: plays play when, but plays made went down. And so

275
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: you know, after the Charges game, you know, man, I

276
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: was thinking that he was that guy, you know, because

277
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: he had those kind of instincts, you know, and he

278
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: showed them early on in the first two to three

279
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: maybe four games. After that, man, it just seemed like

280
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: he became tired and a long season, like the grind

281
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: got to him. And let's face it, Hooker didn't exactly

282
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: you know, stand out right. He had a game flashed there,

283
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: That's what I thought, Bill, he flashed, Well, I really

284
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: thought that, but it wasn't like a consistent But he

285
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: hears again as a guy that now has some tread,

286
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: had lost some tread on the tire, and he's you know,

287
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: he has had an injury history, and so what if

288
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: you lose him. So the point being, when when they

289
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: approached this draft, you can go across the board with

290
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: basically every position group and you can make the case

291
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: that there is a need, which is why I'm big

292
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: on best player available. Yeah, and you know when Steven

293
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: Stephen talked about it, But every team in the league

294
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: is like this. I mean, that's the way the league is.

295
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: The way the league is designed, where you know you're

296
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: you you only have these guys. It's like college. You

297
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: have to prioritize a group, not just individuals, but the

298
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: entire group. You have to figure out if you want

299
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: to prioritize that group of that And when they were

300
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: trying to pin Stephen down the other day, I guess

301
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: it was Tuesday, on his radio segment about positions and this,

302
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: he goes, we want to draft good players, meaning just

303
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: what Bill said. It's like you're not gonna sit there

304
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: and say I gotta have a defensive end. You say

305
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: that you got to have a defensive end and you

306
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: end up with Taco Charlton. Right. You can't just go

307
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: in and say I need this, um we got we

308
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: we have to we we like you said, we have

309
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: to have just get me a wide receiver though to

310
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: have let me go the guy want to quickly correct

311
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: on the Casey snaps it wasn't ninety four he was

312
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: seventy nine percent. He had he had over nine hundred

313
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: snaps on defense, uh last year, and it was so

314
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: that's seventy nine percent. Look at it starts. I bet

315
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: it starts for right at fourteen fifteen starts, fifteen fifteen starts,

316
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: seventeen games, fifteen starts. Yeah, and we always talked about

317
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: how you know, in the second day, it doesn't matter

318
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: who starts, you're gonna get a lot of playing time

319
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: if you're part of the nickel even don pack, that's right,

320
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: that's right. And but I mean, so that is a

321
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: starting safety who they can think that they're replacing with Hooker. Okay,

322
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: but but even what using Hooker more and you got

323
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson right now, you brought back jay Ron Curse,

324
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: but now you're you're thin on the back end, so

325
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: you're not as flexible to use him as one of

326
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: those linebackers. Sort of, Yeah, it's Curse gonna um some

327
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: of the role that Neil had last year. Well, then

328
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: that to me, that would depend on what Wilson's doing, right,

329
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, and they need him to step up the

330
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: way he was before he got hit. If they if

331
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 1: you could do that, then we are looking at some

332
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: flexibility here, not necessarily at the cornerback position, but certainly

333
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: within that interior from the slot position on the end.

334
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: So those first three picks, and and that's why when

335
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: Stephen answered the question about trading up, he goes, yeah,

336
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: he goes, but when you trade up, and I'm paraphrasing,

337
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: you're giving up a good player. Meaning if I'm going

338
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: to trade up in the first it's going to be

339
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: my second or third round pick, and your second and

340
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: third round pick should be a potential starter for you, right,

341
00:20:53,920 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: And and so trading up where they're at, somebody's got

342
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: a fall, right, it's got to be Dez Bryant quality.

343
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: And I went back and looked, and in six of

344
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: the last eight years of the draft, they stayed right

345
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: where they were and made the pick. One year they

346
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: didn't have a first so that's one of the two

347
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: years they didn't Cooper, and that was for the Amira

348
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: Cooper trade. And then the other one was basically this

349
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: last one. They trade it down to get a third

350
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: round pick and Parsons and ended up with Chauncey Golston. So,

351
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: but you have to go back to twenty twelve for

352
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: the last time. They actually traded up in the first

353
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: round and it was from fourteen to six to take

354
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: Morris Claiborne, and they could have gotten Michael Bruckers at fourteen.

355
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: Brockers was the second round pick they gave up. I

356
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: believe Brockers nos Ruckers went fourteen fourteen, okay, so and

357
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: the second round pick they gave up, which was forty

358
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: five I have overall, they could have taken Bobby Wagner there, right,

359
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: who went forty So what Steven I will give up?

360
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: So so basically give up a good player. So basically

361
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: to his point, they basically gave up Michael Brockers and

362
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner from O Clayborne in that draft. Right, And

363
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: that's and how did Brockers do. Brocker's still playing. He's

364
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: still playing great. He's really good. Yeah. I mean he's

365
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: not the type player that is going to get a

366
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: lot of sacks, but as a defensive tackle, run defender

367
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: and just a brock solid guy. I mean he was

368
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: with Cole yeah, big yeah, I mean he's something like that.

369
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: And he and he'll wind up playing about as long

370
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: as Larry Cold. It was about fifteen years in the

371
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: late and if and if Randy to that point, Randy White,

372
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: I was doing some shows with Randy White, you know,

373
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: several years ago, and he did some work with Michael Brockers,

374
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: I think through his agent. I don't know if cast

375
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: Lion represents him or whatever, but Brocker's agent got Randy

376
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: to work with them, and Randy would just rave about Brockers. Yeah.

377
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: But and MO, I mean, if you get a sixth

378
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: round pick, sixth pick in the draft, I mean you

379
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: want a second and third contract on that guy. Right,

380
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: And Claybourne, I think his second was a one year

381
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: deal because he was coming back from injury and then

382
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: that was it. It didn't matter because he played, he

383
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: didn't play well. He couldn't stay healthy. He didn't play well,

384
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: he just couldn't stay healthy. So yeah, so this moving

385
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: up moving down stuff, Their nature lately has been to

386
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: stay put. And did you like the move down in

387
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, Yes, which they moved down and they took

388
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick at thirty one, and then Terrence Williams was

389
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: the guy that they took from with their third round pick, right,

390
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: that they got by moving down the trade with San Francisco.

391
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: So if they want a guard at twenty four, they

392
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: need to move down and get something. All years that

393
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: you guys are speaking of, how well did the free

394
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: agency market play. I didn't have time to do the

395
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: research of that. I mean, come on, that is I

396
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: mean that that has everything to do with it, um

397
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: because sometimes t Y Hilton's out there, sometimes Landry's out there.

398
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: You know, Cole Beasley's out there. Yeah, bring back cold,

399
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: damn it, let's do it all right to that point,

400
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, do the Cowboys need a

401
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: in this offense? A slot? I'm not saying Cole Beasley.

402
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying do they need a slot receiver like Cole Beasley?

403
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: Kind of a chain mover slot receiver to go to

404
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: on third down when we come back? You got that

405
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: guy on mix shots. Brace yourself for an existential question.

Speaker 1: now to get in here on mix shots all right?

452
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: Do the Cowboys need a slot receiver or could they

453
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: use a slot receiver like a Cole Beasley type UM

454
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: or in this offense? Would you rather see them use

455
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: what they I mean they've got can I get in

456
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb he can play in the slot. You can

457
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: draft guys that can can get Reversto can play inside outside.

458
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: I need to play somebody to can play, and preferably

459
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: somebody to can do maybe all three um and not

460
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: just so you would pervide somebody in there. Because Cole

461
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: Is is slotted as a yeah, and he is, even

462
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: though he doesn't think he is. It's hard to see

463
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: him on the outside. I mean he'll get lost downfield

464
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: for the quarterback. Don't ask any questions, Just don't ask

465
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: him any And did do is Dalton Schultz kind of

466
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: fill that role a little bit? Yeah, As far as

467
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: a chain mover, there isn't no doubt. Right, So of

468
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: course they had Witten too with Colby's I was reading

469
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff and I found if you wanted

470
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: a slot guy, one of the guys that came up

471
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: could be available. I don't know if it's first or second,

472
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: but the guy from Western Michigan, sky Moore, he's five

473
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: nine one milk too short. Yes, first, so that's my

474
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: question because because that's why they need some big, physical

475
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: white receivers. That was our problem last year. I fuss

476
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: about it all the time, getting pressure with the fore

477
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: man rush. They started sitting down on our routes, sitting

478
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: down on the short routes. Oh, just coming up and

479
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: jamming us at the line of Squimmas takes away all

480
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: all the timing that you're gonna have in this type

481
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: of office. If you can't hold off a four man rush,

482
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: Chris Beam, you couldn't show us Drake London. You couldn't

483
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: show show Everson, Drake London. If you get a chance,

484
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: you couldn't. You couldn't get off the line of scrimmage.

485
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: You need receivers that can fight their way through that

486
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: jam and still keep the timing with their quart Okay,

487
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: how about this guy, North Dakota State, Christian Watson. I

488
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: love him, he loves He is six four and ran

489
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: a four three six at the combine. Wow, uh any average?

490
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: Now again it's North Dakota State. Okay, but I know

491
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: you you probably are not going to diminish that. No,

492
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm not with my playing. He had he averaged twenty

493
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: point four yards per catch. And the last that's our man.

494
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: That's Christian Watson. Right, there's Watson, you know who. He

495
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: reminds me of Jordy Nelson. I saw a note on

496
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: him and it pointed out that Cooper Cup was the

497
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: last FCS wide receiver taken in the top seventy five

498
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: of a draft, and this guy might be the next one.

499
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: We're for those of you not watching, we are watching

500
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Christian Watson right now. Some some footage of him. I

501
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: love London a little bit more in Christian Watson. Here

502
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: Watson four three six A one four five ten yards split,

503
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: which is which is incredible? One third five forty five

504
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: ten yards spot, just getting thirty stands, thirty eight thirty

505
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: eight and a half vertical eleven four did you say?

506
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Eleven four broad jump? Is cone? Drill? Was sub seven

507
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: eleven four broad that's right. And he had eighteen bench

508
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: reps too, so he's a strong guy. Also, so he

509
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: is six four two o eight. I went back and

510
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: looked football player. Yeah, and he's got an explosion. I

511
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: mean that's what those measurables tell you right there. So

512
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: how about this one? And I think this was in

513
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: his career there he had four touchdowns of at least

514
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: sixty five yards or more. So he was running by

515
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: people right running by him. After another debot, he could

516
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: be running through him like debo. Yeah. And so Jordy

517
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: Nelson six he came out. He was six three two

518
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: seventeen at the combine. And so this Christian Watson six

519
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: four two eight and Nelson ran a four five one.

520
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: Watson's faster at four three to six. Nelson's ten yards

521
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: split was one fifty, which is still blazing. It's just

522
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: the same if you if you think of Jordy Nelson

523
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: back at Kansas State he beat Texas with in the

524
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: punt return game. He was a lot of the same

525
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: type stuff that Christian and Watson does. Here, what's the

526
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: kid's name in Pittsburgh, See the one that held the

527
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: ball too long when they were trying to complete a

528
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: drive a touchdown. Here, you're talking Steelers, Steelers, Yes, eleven Claypool,

529
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool. That's what reminds me. Yeah, Yeah, that's really

530
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: reminds Yeah, same speed, same size, yep. Yeah, yeah, that's

531
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: what I see when when I see him. All Right,

532
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: Drake London, Uh, you're talking about a big guy who

533
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: can Here you go, here's here's your Drake London. Right here,

534
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: there were fifteen for your Southern cow Trojans. Now that

535
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will consider themselves very fortunate if Drake London

536
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: is still there at twenty four. There's a lot of people,

537
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: including me, who have him right at the top of

538
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: the wide receiver ranking him and Garrett Wilson, Ohio State. Um,

539
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: glad you asked. I'm glad you asked. Okay. Now, he

540
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: did not run a forty okay, And that's the knock

541
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: against him is his long speed. And he had a

542
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: personal pro day just last week and he opted not

543
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: to do any of those measurables. He didn't mean. He

544
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: is six four six yeah, six four two nineteen okay

545
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: is his size. These are the numbers that should impress you.

546
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: In eight games last year, guess how many catches he

547
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: had in eight games eight games total, eight games total

548
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: last year. Guess how many he had a fractured right ankle.

549
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: And so that's why he only played few games. Thirty

550
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: two catches and eight I was gonna say forty if

551
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: that was right, Okay, go ahead, eighty eight? Oh no, Wow,

552
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: he had eighty eight catches in eight games, yes, for

553
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards. Uh seven touchdowns. The year before

554
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: six games thirty three catches. In the year before that,

555
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: thirteen games, nine starts, he had ninety three catches. I mean,

556
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: this is a highly productive guy. Here, get this about him.

557
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: Basketball player too the top. He's Mike Evans. Okay, he's

558
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. He played for the sc basketball team after

559
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: his freshman year playing football. Yeah, okay. He averaged on

560
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: his high school basketball team. He averaged twenty nine points

561
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: in twelve rebounds a game for more Park, which is

562
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: a big school in California, of course. Yeah, yeah, it's

563
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: on the way to Thousand Oaks. Yea, all right, next

564
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: to all state football ambass So he's not gonna be

565
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: there that you wouldn't think, although there's some who got

566
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: him mocked, do you know. And here, and here's the

567
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: bad part for the Cowboys on these wide receivers in

568
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: the first round. There's too many teams ahead of them

569
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: that need wide receivers and a lot of these guys

570
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: are going to be gone. So that's why I was

571
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: looking at that Watson guy. And yeah, but I think

572
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: he'll he may be gone by fifty six, with the

573
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: Cowboys picking get him around second. Yeah. And so that's

574
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: why when people say, well, twenty four is too high

575
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: to draft him, Well, if that if that's the player

576
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: you want, right and he's not gonna be there at

577
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: fifty six, then twenty four is not too high to

578
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: draft him. Well do you remember the grief the Cowboys

579
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: got when they took Travis Frederick at the end of

580
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: the first round. Well, that's taking him. You could have

581
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: got him in the second or a third and it's like, well,

582
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: how do you know that? Five Pro Bowls later? Yeah,

583
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: and still bemoaning the fact that he decided to retire,

584
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: by the way, which is why we're in the predicament

585
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: we're in right now. Yeah. So anyway, I still have

586
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: hope for Tyler Beotish. You got to remember that was

587
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: his first year to start in the NFL. First year

588
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: so because he played, he started I think it was

589
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: four games as a rookie. It didn't play portally, but

590
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: they decided to keep continuity after he got hurt and

591
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: the little Joe Looney in there, and I think that

592
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people are thinking, okay, would be Oddish

593
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: who was a week link because as they were using

594
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: in preseason Connor Williams at center, and that was a

595
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: failed experience. He never couldn't snap the ball. But the reason,

596
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: but the main reason that they were playing Connor Williams

597
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: at center in the preseason was in case they had

598
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: an injury to Tyler Bodis. They wanted to see where

599
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: they were could Connor Williams the back They figured out

600
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 1: that no, that is not an option for Connor william

601
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: I bought Beiodis went down for him to slide over him.

602
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: And if Connor Williams could do that, that would open

603
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: up the guard spot for Connor McGovern who got the

604
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: opportunity and didn't really did not. Now having said that, okay,

605
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: Mark Stepnowski was not Mark Snipnowski in nineteen eighty nine

606
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: when they drafted him in the third round, by the way,

607
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't get good until about ninety one,

608
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: and he didn't hardly play in Remember they switched towards

609
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Tom Rafferty, they knew he

610
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: was done, but he started. I met ten eleven games

611
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: that year before they put step in. Um So I

612
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: just think there's something there would would be idish that

613
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: the center position is not as important as the guard position.

614
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: And I think you still can get a guard in

615
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: the second round or in the late in the first

616
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,439
Speaker 1: you gotta trade. I still say you can get a good,

617
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: very good wide receiver in free agency, and you can

618
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: push that wide receiver drafting down the line. You can

619
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: kick that can down the line if you have the

620
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: money to pay for it. Right and after May, we'll know, see,

621
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: And that's where I right, what they're as will see.

622
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: That's why why I think the best player available is

623
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 1: the route exactly, because I think you can go across

624
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: the board at every piece you want to eliminate. You

625
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: want to eliminate a position in the first round, probably

626
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: not taking a quarterback, right, probably not taking a running back.

627
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: Tight end, well, the tight end is based on what's

628
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: out there, and these guys don't. These prospects although there are.

629
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: It's a deep tight end right there are. There's not

630
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: much difference in about the top five or six guys

631
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: right in my opinion, and they're they're gonna be so

632
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: you're probably not. They're gonna start going off the board

633
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: mid to late second. But look on look at defense

634
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: and tackle one of those monsters from Georgia's available linebackers. Linebackers,

635
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: we talk cornerback every right, Yes, yes, got be someone's

636
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: gotta be there, right, and so as long as you

637
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: don't reach and jump over what your board is showing, right,

638
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: and and so in the case of because a lot

639
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: of people are mocking one of these guards to the

640
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys at twenty four Kenyan Green from Texas A and

641
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: the Embers and Johnson from Boston College, I think that

642
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys, if they're going to take one of

643
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: those guards in the first round, then they are projecting

644
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: that in my opinion, any player that you're taking in

645
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: the first round in this draft, because I think this

646
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: is a deep draft where you can get Pro Bowl

647
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: type player in the first round, you're projecting that that

648
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: player is going to be a Pro Bowl player and

649
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: you're going to want to sign him to a second contract.

650
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 1: Any better be able to play tackle in mine? Well, yeah,

651
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: my book go for that too. But if if am

652
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: I getting greedy, but if yeah, you are, but you

653
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: would you would take Zack Martin or Travis Frederick at

654
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: twenty four. Yeah, but they knew by the way, they

655
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: knew Zach Martin could play tackle. He played tackle at

656
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: in order dame right and and and stop me. I

657
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: think I told this story just recently that in the

658
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl that year, he was the only guy that

659
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: could block Aaron Donald, and Aaron Donald was the only

660
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: guy that could get buys Zach Martin. It was a

661
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: great show in those practices, believe me, and and both

662
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: of them, and they got close to Donald right. Donald

663
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: went thirteen. So they sat there at sixteen because they

664
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: thought they were going to get one of those defensive guys.

665
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: Donald went thirteen and Ryan Shazier went fifteen. Pittsburgh took

666
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: him right before him. Otherwise the Cowboys probably were going

667
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: to take him. That's why this whole debate about Johnny

668
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: Manziel was just ridiculous. They weren't gonna take Johnny Manziel,

669
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: and they said, Okay, we'll just settle. We'll settle for

670
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: Zach Martin. Well, I'm gonna grasp at straws once again.

671
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: So did you see any offensive guard that was performing

672
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: the way Zach Martin performed when he came out? Did

673
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: you see any guard that's worth draft? Yeah? That draft

674
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: or this this draft, because you're comparing you know, Zach Martin.

675
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: You right, he's first first round, you know, capable. So

676
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: what about no, No, there's not there's not a home,

677
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: there's not a Hall of famers out there. And I

678
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: keep reading about these guys and strength, weaknesses, what they are,

679
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: and again I just couldn't get over Stephen Jones putting

680
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: out how hard it is these days to project offensive

681
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: linemen from coming from college how they're going to play

682
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL because the college game is so different. Right,

683
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: they know they're pass blocking right, right, and when they

684
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: run it's usually run option. They're running from shot blocking

685
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, And so it's a different game in the NFL.

686
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: And he's pointed out it's hard to project the offensive lineman,

687
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: and he's right, So what about the defensive lineman? They're

688
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: always looking for rush? So do they have to be

689
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, more discerning about how they play the run?

690
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's got to be something when you

691
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: look at defensive ends, because when we talk defensive ends,

692
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: it's always well, these are his sacks or these are

693
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,800
Speaker 1: his prussures. Okay, what happens? That's because that's all he

694
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: has to do? What if they run at him? Can

695
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: he set the edge? You know? And that's what I

696
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: noticed about Dante Fowler by the way he he was

697
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: playing three four defenses, and he doesn't look to me

698
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: to be a three four defensive end. He's a four

699
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: three defensive end. He's certainly not a for three four

700
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: defensive end. He'd be a three four outside linebacker. Yeah,

701
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: that's what I meant. That's what I meant outside linebacker, right,

702
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: And you know that would be like saying, Okay, we're

703
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna move to Marcus Lawrence to linebacker in a three four.

704
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna work well, but you know, you're in

705
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: nickel seventy percent right time, right, and those three four

706
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: teams they're they're they're rushing four, you know, and so

707
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: the is he is he stand up rusher even in

708
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: their in their nickel. Like for instance, Everson Griffin when

709
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: he came here, you know, he'd been in at fourty

710
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: three in Minnesota with a hand on the ground and

711
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: he could not adapt to uh, standing in rushing the

712
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: passer here. Um so um. You know to that point, though,

713
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: like on Jordan Davis, as far as the defensive lineman

714
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: who can defend the run, you know, Jordan Davis, he

715
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: is a monster at doing what he can do, but

716
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: he's not a He's not a guy that will get

717
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: to the quarterback a lot, right, But I think as

718
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: far as Uh as shutting down his area of the field,

719
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: whether it's the run game or pushing the pocket, you know,

720
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: then yeah, it's great. And so it's going to be

721
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: very interesting to see where he goes because he doesn't

722
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: have the ability to really to sack the quarterback Devant

723
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: Wyatt does. But there's some kind of same there's there's

724
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: some things in his game that that uh, you know

725
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: where he could slide also, right, and he's not I

726
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: don't think DeVante Watt, And he's not Gerald McCoy, you know, right,

727
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: who was a third pick in the draft or Aaron

728
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: Donald And neither one of those guys are in Doma

729
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: Kung Sue. You know it was a second pick in

730
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And so yeah, we

731
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: can look at you can you can see on YouTube

732
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: some great plays and dominating plays, but are they doing

733
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: it on a consistent basis The big like with Jordan Davis,

734
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: when you look at Georgia, he was only on the

735
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: field first and second down. They took him off the field.

736
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: In fact, the Georgia front seven guys. They were rotating

737
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: all those guys in And so Jordan Davis is only

738
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: playing like twenty snaps a game in college at Georgia.

739
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: And so do you want to spend a first round

740
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: draft pick on a guy now at twenty four it's

741
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: a little bit different. But but will a team at

742
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: fourteen want to spend a first round they're fourteen pick

743
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: in the draft on a guy who you have to

744
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: take off the field? Well, I don't know. We don't

745
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: know that that they're gonna have to project that with

746
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: him because they haven't seen it in college with him

747
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: that he can play that many snaps at that largest size.

748
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: But based on his measurables and four seven eight, yeah

749
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: he can, But how long can he sustain it at

750
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: that size? You know? So all right, what about the

751
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: guy from Alabama? But tackle? Um, I mean he's he's

752
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: he's a guy that a lot of people like. So,

753
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's a whole bunch of them. I see.

754
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: Here's here's what happens with that position. Though, when the

755
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys start looking at the value of that position compared

756
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: to something else, you'll say, okay, defensive tackles second third round. Um,

757
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: you know, I want somebody it's gonna either. I would

758
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: imagine they put a priority at defensive end more than

759
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: they do defense. It's outside in right in the same

760
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: thing with wide receiver compared to guard. I mean, that's

761
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: just the nobody for a SAP anymore. Nobody's looking forward. Yeah,

762
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: there are there are exceptions to every run. Yes, you

763
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: know Aaron Donald was an exception. You know, if you

764
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: draft again with that draft and Aaron Donald's going up there,

765
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: that he's top ten, right, if not top five? Right,

766
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: that's right, all right? We continue with more mixed shots.

767
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: In just a moment before there was a draft, you

768
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 1: could size up a cowboy by three simple factors. The

769
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: crease in his hat, the bend of his brim, and

770
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: his unbending attitude a man. Stetson didn't just protect him

771
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: from what life through at him. It projected a rugged,

772
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: unstoppable spirit. Stetson hats are still American, made with pride.

773
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: Right here in Texas, there's still the unofficial crowd of

774
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: all self respecting cowboys, and Stetson is proud to be

805
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: in this draft? Would you like it? Yeah? Would you

806
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: like Darren Woodson? Especially if you get him in the

807
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: second round. This guy might be your second round draft pick.

808
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: The other night, I fell in love with a player

809
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: from Maryland. He is a safety by the name of

810
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: Nick Cross. He is we have some video. I don't

811
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: know that we do have video of him, but he's

812
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: from Maryland. He is the youngest player in this draft.

813
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: He's only twenty years old. He'll turn twenty one on

814
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: September tenth. And this guy reminds me of Darren Woodson's right. Yeah,

815
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: he's a smart guy, and that's a big everything. I'm

816
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: big on makeup. I'm big on a guy, you know,

817
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: because I don't Half the time, I don't know what

818
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking at when I'm looking at tape, you know,

819
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: But I can't. I do know what I'm looking at

820
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: when I see an interview, or I see what a

821
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: guy means to his team and what his teammates and

822
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: coaches say about him, and he aces that test. But

823
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 1: check out the numbers here, all right. Here's the other thing,

824
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 1: him being twenty years old. Safety he graduated safety strong

825
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: can be either one, either one graduating, right. Uh, he

826
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: was at Maryland for three years and I have marked

827
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: down whether he graduated or not. I don't have it

828
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,959
Speaker 1: marked down. But anyway, all right, he is six foot

829
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve pounds. They probably mark against him

830
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: because he's only six foot tall. Okay, but he didn't

831
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: look like he's only six foot tall. In the field,

832
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: ran a four three four with a one four to

833
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 1: six split. Love that four three four four three four okay, okay,

834
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: four three four at two hundred twelve pounds. He must

835
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: have bad hands, because somebody would have made up a

836
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver all right, with a one four six split okay,

837
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: thirty seven vertical and a ten ten broad jump okay,

838
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: nice a cone drill of six to eighty five, which

839
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: is phenomenal. Okay, now tell me how he played twenty

840
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: twenty one un bench reps. Strong, not mad. I love

841
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: the way he plays football and if you look at him,

842
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: the way he diagnoses plays. He is a student of

843
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: the game. This is what I love the most about him.

844
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: If if you hear him talk, he talks about I

845
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: went back. There was a video that was done on

846
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 1: him in high school. He didn't start playing football until

847
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: his freshman year in high school. His dad wouldn't let

848
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: him play, but he always He dream was growing up

849
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: was to be a Hall of Fame football player. But well,

850
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: he puts in the work. Um as high school coach

851
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: Elijah Brooks, who also became a he was hired at

852
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: Maryland as an assistant. That's how he gets some of

853
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: these players. He calls him maniacal about preparation. Um Mike Locksley,

854
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: his head coach at Maryland. He has the ability with

855
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: his speed and athleticism to really impact the game. Okay,

856
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: but when The thing that I was most impressed with

857
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: with him was if you'll he would be playing a

858
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: high safety and he covers so much ground, whether it's

859
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: going backwards or forwards, and he Now, there are times

860
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: where he would misread a play, but I think that

861
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: can be coached out of a bad age twenty where

862
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: he would aggressively come up on and then a double

863
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: move would someone would get by, and so you'll you'll

864
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: find criticism for him for that whatever. But there are

865
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: times where he would be as a high safety and

866
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: there would be a misdrection backside a flare pass out

867
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: to a running back and this guy closes so fast

868
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: and he's really the only line of defense and he

869
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: would stop him for a no gain or a loss.

870
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: Well was the guy's name again, Nick Cross is his name,

871
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: and again he looks like Darren Woodson. He's got numbers

872
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: like Darren Woodson. And anyway, he is my guy. Um,

873
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: so there you going second round third. I'm not sure that.

874
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's gonna be there at fifty six. Really, yeah,

875
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: so yeah, you have to use one of them fifth

876
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: round draft choices to move up. Yeah, And it'd be

877
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: like Sean Lee in twenty ten, where the Cowboys used

878
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: a later pick and moved up five spots to get

879
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,360
Speaker 1: the guy that they wanted whatever and so could be

880
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 1: one of them. I have to say this, uh, not

881
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: once as Bill ever referred to a great cornerback and said,

882
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: you know it kind of minds you've ever had, Not

883
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: once as he said, yeah, you know, no, there's only one.

884
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: You want to go first round with that guy, you know,

885
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: if you got our sky More guy. Okay, on NFL network,

886
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: so no one else could look bicky, well can if

887
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: they're watching NFL networker Now he's gonna being an interview now.

888
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: But my point also on Nick Cross is okay, yeah,

889
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: maybe they don't have as much of a need right

890
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: now for a safety, although I think we've any year

891
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: they will. And if he is, if he if if

892
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: I am right in my more importantly, if Cowboys scouts

893
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: are right in their assessment of a player and this

894
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: guy is as good as they think he is, then

895
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: he's going to get on the field. My question would be,

896
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: first of all, how his hips? Darren? What's that great hips?

897
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: What he looks like he can turn and go? He

898
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: could play? He did turning to go. I'm saying that cross. Okay, okay,

899
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: looks like because you're talking about covering the slot with

900
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: that speed you're talking and with that speed you got hips.

901
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: I know, guy with that kind of speed, then you're

902
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: talking about somebody that can actually when when he played

903
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,959
Speaker 1: the slot, you know he it wasn't a shutdown type

904
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: of thing, but he could stay in position long enough

905
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: to where just messed up timing. All right. He is

906
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 1: not Darren Woodson. Okay, he just looks like Darren, but

907
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,240
Speaker 1: he's not Darren Woodson. He cannot cover Jerry Rice right right. Okay,

908
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: I'm not shell as Jerry Rice right now. I may

909
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: not be able to cover Jerry Rice right now. But

910
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: he could be Brian Dawkins. And if you oh, I'm sorry,

911
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: and if you yeah, he could be Steve Atwater. Oh

912
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: even even worse. That's two of them all right then,

913
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot, Bill, Thanks a lot, Bill. And Darren

914
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: Woodson would second those motions. I second them for him,

915
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: yes as well, goes guys, thank you? All right? What

916
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: else is on your legal pad? There? Um? I just

917
00:55:51,760 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: run across something. Oh no, you're gonna have to oh,

918
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: I know. So we talked about all these positions right,

919
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: they gotta do something kicker. And here's my list of kickers.

920
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: It's like a half a page and there's there's only

921
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 1: three names. Yeah, and those were the those were the

922
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: free agents. The other half was the rookies yea. And

923
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: there was really only three names on it. So they

924
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: got to come up with something because mine hard to

925
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: find the freaking kicker man free agent kicker. They're all

926
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: guys that are retreads Cincinnati. That's what I talked about,

927
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: that he was a rookie, right, Okay, but was that go?

928
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean to what you could see him doing? What?

929
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 1: He was good enough that he was a fifth round

930
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: draft pick? Yeah, so they liked that. That's you the

931
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 1: first round for kickers. Yeah, that's right. That's cut offline,

932
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:59,839
Speaker 1: right unless you're Janetkowski. Uh and that doesn't happen anymore anyway. Right.

933
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: So then, so, I mean, but you gotta find some

934
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: incidents where you've got the kicker that came out and

935
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: nobody thought he'd be that good and the guy end

936
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: up being good. What about what about Blake Fuss? Was

937
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: it Blake the kicker that came from Oklhomia State Fuss? Bailey?

938
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: Was Bailey that good at Oklahoma State. I think he

939
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: was good. Well, you knew he would be that good

940
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: in in the pro. Hey, we didn't know two weeks

941
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: before the first game is rookie year that he was

942
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna make this team. I remember bring out at at

943
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: NT Stadium and the Cowboys had an open practice that

944
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: day and uh, and you know at the certain times

945
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: during the practice, you've got the kickers kicking three or

946
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: four in a row. And I remember I may have

947
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: been sitting standing next to you micause that the day

948
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: he had he had a bad day. This was actually

949
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: a day. It was just after his bad day. And

950
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: he came back, and he came back, and I'm like

951
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: it was the most important moment of that practice was

952
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: whether Dan Bailey could get his act back together and

953
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: be able to nail right three or four kicks in

954
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: a row. And he did, and he did. Yeah, and

955
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 1: and but but as Bill said, I remember, and it

956
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: would have been I don't know if it was during

957
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: that season or the next season, talking to Chris Bonial

958
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: and it I believe it was. It was either as

959
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: first or second year as an assistant coach for the Cowboys,

960
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: and he and Joe Um the special team's coach Camillis.

961
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: They put their h on the line for Bonial and

962
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: and I and I remember Bonial telling me he goes.

963
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: I was more nervous than he was because I put

964
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: my job on the line because I said that's the

965
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: guy we should go, because remember they kept bringing in

966
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: all these veteran guys. They were going through guys and

967
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: and and Bonial said, no, this is the guy. And

968
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: he turned out to be the guy. But he was

969
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: pretty good at Oklahoma State, but then he seemed to

970
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: have a letdown. Uh as he came to training camp though. Uh,

971
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,919
Speaker 1: he was just good until that one day that Bill

972
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: pointed out we were in San Antonio. Maybe I can't

973
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: remember who luxonarder san Antonio. I just remember he had

974
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: a bad day and then they let him kick in

975
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: the last preseason game and then decided to go with him.

976
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah so much. One of these kickers, do you like?

977
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: The two that jumped out to me were Kade York

978
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: and Lsu and Prosper and Prosper and then uh Dicker,

979
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:51,919
Speaker 1: the kicker from UT. But you never know when there's

980
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: a free agent out there that no one knows about, right,

981
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: college free agent? College free Yeah, like a young guy

982
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: or maybe I mean that kicked somebody needs to know

983
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: about him. And yeah, I guarantee you there's some if

984
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: not multiple people, uh, in that scouting department. Something got somebody. Yeah,

985
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: because you can find the renegade kicker easily. Yeah. And

986
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: when I say renegade someone you know like worst the

987
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: free agency to where he comes out of nowhere. You

988
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: know you can have maybe try it out, try it

989
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: out at Texas Stadium. You never know, ye, that that's

990
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: your best free agent tryout, right, But did you ever

991
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: go out there for he now to look at it? No,

992
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: it was an insult to me as a free agent. Yeah,

993
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: it's so funny. Would you have to pay? Like when

994
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: I made the team, there were so many guys who

995
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: have been out of the league for like three years

996
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: that said, oh, if everything can do it, then maybe

997
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: I can come back. I have so many guys calling me, Hey,

998
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: can you help me get in the league? No, man,

999
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: you've been out the league for six years. Man, all right,

1000
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't My wife will tell me. I don't listen

1001
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: very well, and I did not listen very well earlier

1002
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: this show. Apparently we've got a caller on the line.

1003
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: And even though we're passed that, we're going to take

1004
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:12,160
Speaker 1: this caller who perseverance? Yes, thanks forces, who do we have?

1005
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: This is Bob from the Nationale. Hello Bob, how are you? Bob? Hey,

1006
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. I know it's the end

1007
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: of the show. And hey, um, I remember a really

1008
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: great cornerback, Everson Wall, So shout out to you, buddy.

1009
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Hey real quick. I know offensive line is the is

1010
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: a big priority, but I still am a big proponent

1011
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: of another stud linebacker. I mean, look what the impact

1012
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons had on our team, and I think another

1013
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: stud linebacker going in the second round could really really

1014
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 1: shore up our defense. And then, of course, I know

1015
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: we have all these other needs, but those are the

1016
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: two that I really think offensive line and another stud linebacker,

1017
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: and I think that can really help us out. Thanks

1018
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: for let me take the call. Guys, all that's on

1019
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: our list. I've got no problem me neither, even to

1020
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: a stud linebacker. I mean, we talked about the guy

1021
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: from Georgia, the Kobe Deane, and there was another one,

1022
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd from Utah. Is maybe that was him. Yeah,

1023
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: you gotta look at Devin Lloyd. I mean, if and

1024
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: I was big on the Kobe Dean too, and I

1025
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: like both of them, and NA Kobe Dean is more

1026
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: of a guy who can And this is not a

1027
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: knock on him at all. He's not athletically the same

1028
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: player that Devin Lloyd is, but I mean he can

1029
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: read uh plays and read and react as good as anybody,

1030
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: and he's got all of those um intangibles that you're

1031
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: looking for. But Devin Lloyd is a play maker. And

1032
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 1: in fourteen games at Utah this year, consensus All American

1033
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: had twenty two tackles for loss at eight sacks, four

1034
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: interceptions to run back for touchdowns. I mean, but you

1035
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: just look at him. He is athletically he ran a

1036
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: four six twenty five bench reps ten six broad jump

1037
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: and I just have written out next to him. Wow,

1038
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: great players see. And and there's there's an assumption going

1039
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: on at linebacker right now. Right you mentioned h you

1040
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:32,920
Speaker 1: know KZ, but Kean O'Neill they decided that they weren't

1041
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: going to bring him back and that we'll cover ourselves

1042
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: with Jabril Cox. Jabral Cox didn't play last year, right,

1043
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: and he's coming off in ACL and you're gonna assume

1044
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: and he was at LSU for one year, if he

1045
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: played at North Dakota State for three years, right, and

1046
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,919
Speaker 1: you're assuming that he's going to step in and take

1047
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: that spot that Neil played, Right, that's a big assumption.

1048
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: So there's an unknown there. Uh. And the Lloyd can do.

1049
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at him. They rush him off

1050
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: the edge a little bit. I mean, I tell you

1051
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: got a little a lot of those taxes. If you

1052
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 1: had two of those guys, two of those guys that

1053
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: you don't know which one's gonna line up, who's lining

1054
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: up where, and and who's in the middle, and who's

1055
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: on the outside, or can one of them go to

1056
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: defensive end or I can line up at defensive end

1057
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: and drop off I would I think if if Devin

1058
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: Lloyd is there at twenty four, I would rush that

1059
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: card and go running up there. I'm looking at videos now,

1060
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: you're watching Devin Lloyd. Yeah, I look at that right now.

1061
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: This guy's huge too, Huh. He's kind of fenn to

1062
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 1: be inside. He looks a little lean to be inside.

1063
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes young sometimes you want that and a

1064
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: young player, they're all they're not none of them are

1065
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna lose weight, right, You know that's right. Which, by

1066
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 1: the way, I heard that Connor mcgovernn put on some muscle,

1067
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: some weight, uh in the off season. So we'll see

1068
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: what it's there. Lloyd, Devin Lloyd is listed as six

1069
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: two and three quarters inches tall, so sixty three two

1070
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: thirty seven. Now, Nakobe Dean is only five eleven two

1071
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: twenty nine. What do we have there on the screen?

1072
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: They it's probably the Utah guy. Yeah, Lloyd, it is

1073
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd. Yeah, yeah, number zero, number zero. Yeah, he's

1074
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:29,560

1075
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: very good. And by the way, are both very articulate

1076
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: themselves too, Yeah, which is all part of that makeup.

1077
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: I look for these players. What are you trying to say?

1078
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: I would have I would have drafted Everson Walls. Thank you,

1080
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: need to make a habit of that. That's the only

1081
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: case if someone's ever made about me getting drafted, that's

1082
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: the only case, just based on his interview alone, care
