00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: Brother, when the light did the lights go down in

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: the city.

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 4: Oh, they didn't welcome you with open arms?

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: Did they just do that? They just they just played

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 3: the hits, didn't they.

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 4: I would say, I knew every song but two, and

15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: it's pretty good. Like you're a little old. While I

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 4: speak a little old, I'll talk about crowd But all

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 4: you ever needed in the world a Journey for me,

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 4: and I like Journey is Journey's greatest, Greatest head CD. Yeah,

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 4: Journey's Greatest head CD pretty much covers everything except for

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: two or three other hits that didn't make it, you know,

21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 4: which you end up liking them a little bit more,

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, so they played like that entire

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 4: disc basically, and a couple of hits you wanted, and

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: like three tunes I didn't know, nice, cool, perfect, exactly

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 4: what we're looking for, you know, right, Stone and Love

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 4: is my fave probably, and my buddy and I were

27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 4: having a conversation about this last night. It's like, Stone

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 4: and Love is probably our favorite because it wasn't on

29
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: Greatest Hits. You could only hear it on DV. Sure

30
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: you know that's like, hey, hey, what could I do?

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: Exactly right?

32
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: So right, yeah, you couldn't physically, I know that sounds

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: crazy to.

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: Right.

35
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 3: You could not own these songs.

36
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: There was like two or three years of my life.

37
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 4: I had a cassette recorder next to my radio that

38
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 4: if I heard the if I heard the first note

39
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: of hey, hey, what could I do, I had to

40
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: get and I never got it.

41
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: Yep.

42
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 4: But anyway, we had a good time. Ran into a

43
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: trip pursuda.

44
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: I met that guy at a concert. Imagine that.

45
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: How about that passed him in the hall. He had

46
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: a buddy with him, I had a body with him.

47
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: That was good to see, but uh, not the most

48
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: active flamboyant crowd. Sure it was a good show, but.

49
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: A little longer in the tooth, a.

50
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 4: Little longer in the tooth. Monday night, Monday Week, and

51
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 4: everybody was kind of like I gotta get out of here.

52
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 4: I gotta get home, you know. And they didn't play

53
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: super long, but we had a good time. A game

54
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 4: we were playing, we were looking at all the sections

55
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 4: around us to see how many people were standing out

56
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: of the entire section. If you had three or four,

57
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: you were winning. Yeah, we had a good time.

58
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: I'm a little worre I'm going in next month. Actually,

59
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm going in April to see Springsteen at PPG, and

60
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: I'm a little worried about the set. I'm gonna be like,

61
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: want to beat you know me, I'm a jitterbug. I'm

62
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: gonna want to be up and bopping around.

63
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 4: I bet it's a little more upbeat than a little

64
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 4: younger a little bit. Everybody's sat.

65
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And what's funny is my wife we always argue

66
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: about that at shows.

67
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: My wife loves the shows where everybody sits. She's like,

68
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: I just want to sit like that great. I'm like,

69
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: I kind of want to get up.

70
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: And I think this tune comes on, Drake, you should

71
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: jump out.

72
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: Of Yeah, move a little to the left, move a

73
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: little to the right, Like Bill Nunn would say, you

74
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: want to see the guy's footwork. I want to see

75
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: how they move laterally.

76
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: But no, I'm glad, glad you had a good time

77
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: last night at Journey and Matt We're gonna go on

78
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: a journey here in the first hour.

79
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: See what I did there? Woo.

80
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: All right, we have gotten For the last couple of weeks,

81
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: almost every single day we get a tweet or two

82
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: or three from our listeners that are.

83
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: Like, where's the mock drafts? Where's the mock drafts? Can

84
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: you guys fire up the mock draft simulators. We're gonna

85
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: do that in the first hour.

86
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: All right, But first to kind of preface it, you

87
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: sent me a very good article today, a NFL draft

88
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: top ten pick mock that was done all by executives

89
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: across the NFL anonymously via the Athletic.

90
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: Yes, this is all Mike Sando. So, Sando's been on

91
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 4: our show many times. I consider him a friend. Every

92
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 4: year that I was at ESPN, he was a ESPN

93
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: member at that point, we used to write a combined

94
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: It was like three years in a row. Once a

95
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: week we'd write a combined call them together, you know.

96
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: So Sando's awesome And one of Sando's best attributes is

97
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: knowing execs in the league, Like when he does quarterback tiers,

98
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: that's all from quality people in the league. It's not me,

99
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: And you think this dude's good. Blah blah blah blah blah.

100
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: And if you walk through Indy, some people understand, you

101
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: definitely will where the Starbucks is, you know that crossroads,

102
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: you know, like Sando's there all.

103
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: The time, all the time.

104
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the time. He's a setting up shop, chatting

105
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 4: with these folks. So I thought it was pretty cool

106
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: just to go through what the league thinks the top

107
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 4: ten looks like. Now because I have not looked at it,

108
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: I just sit into the link. I thought this would

109
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 4: be a fun conversation. But I do think everyone's talking

110
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 4: about and this happens after every combine every year. Love's

111
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: heating up styles, all these guys are going up, Styles

112
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 4: going up. Love's going up. All these tackles aren't gonna last,

113
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: They're gonna go quicker. They all good combines. Yeah, but

114
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: somebody has to fall. Of course. You know there's only

115
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 4: ten spots here we'll talk about of course.

116
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: Right, So this is yeah, this is just the top

117
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: ten and this so this is NFL executive's anonymous NFL executives.

118
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: It's kind of like they've quotes and.

119
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: Jeremy Fowler puts together every summer those top ten lists

120
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: at every position.

121
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 4: Right, Jeremy took over Sandosy, Yes, exactly right.

122
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: And it's a combination of like fifty coaches, scouts, gms

123
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: and so this is kind of same church, different pew

124
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: YEP anonymous NFL executives and how they think about the

125
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: NFL Draft Top ten mock here and Matt.

126
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 4: And I think like, in this situation, you're not gonna

127
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 4: get smoke screens and nonsense from these guys. You know, Like,

128
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: we're here in a lot and this will be something.

129
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll talk about a ton You're in a

130
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: lot more o. Ti Simpson's now definitely going in the

131
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 4: first round. Like is that coming from Kansas City and Buffalo?

132
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 4: You know, teams that don't need quarterbacks?

133
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: Right, sure, So I don't think this will surprise you.

134
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: But all across the board, unanimous number one overall pick

135
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: Fana Mendoza, quarterback out of Indiana.

136
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I think the only thing that could ever

137
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 4: get in the way of that would be if the

138
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 4: Jets offered an insane offer because they have so many

139
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: firsts and things like that. We actually went through that

140
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: exercise a week or two ago on a different podcast,

141
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: like you'd be the Raiders GM, what could I pry

142
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: away to make you move? And we got eventually got

143
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 4: to a point. I mean, if they're that set, I

144
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 4: think they could do it. But that's the only way

145
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 4: that I this has to be the chalk pick obviously.

146
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yes, And I don't think that surprises anybody. No, no, No,

147
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: number two almost completely chalk is RVEL Reese. There was

148
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: one executive who picked David Bailey the Edge Rusher Tech

149
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: out of Texas Tech, but other than that, they all

150
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: picked RVL Reese number two over all.

151
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: Of the Jets. I'm shocked. It's that chocky. I thought

152
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: it could be fifty to fifty Bailey versus Reese. Reese

153
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 4: to me is a better prospect, but he's just unproven

154
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: as a full time ad correct and I think that

155
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: they if they were to take Reese and this is

156
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 4: what he wants, I think they won a full time

157
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: edge and they needed a nose. They traded an edge

158
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: and what's going to be basically a base three four

159
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: defense in New York with the Titan move. So I

160
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 4: thought that immediately set up for one of these two, Like,

161
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 4: I don't think it'll be styles or Downs or one

162
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 4: of those type guys. I mean, I think you fill

163
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 4: the upfrontnee to put opposite McDonald. It makes it makes

164
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: a ton of sense Johnson sweat trade.

165
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially when again when you kind of read through

166
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: the tea leaves of what they of what they.

167
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: Make this move, Yeah, yeah, to set up their next.

168
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: Move, which is drafting and edge rusher second overall, and

169
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: then kind of the inverse at pick three, pretty much

170
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: unanimously uh Bailey across the board except for the one

171
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: who took Bailey second, takes RVL Reese third.

172
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: Okay, so there are the top three almost.

173
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: Consensus, recent two almost consensus Bailey at three.

174
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: There's just one person who had them flip for Cardinals

175
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: or three, right, Cardinals are Yeah, I should know the

176
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: draft ward better than I guess. It takes me want

177
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: longer than you think.

178
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: Yes, But going into the combine though, almost everybody to

179
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: tackle go in there mm hmm. And while the tackles

180
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: I think have helium as a group, there isn't one

181
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: that's like, I gotta take them at three, you know, right, right, right,

182
00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: but I totally get.

183
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: This, completely agree. Pick four.

184
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: Then the Tennessee Titans half and half half have Carneal Tait,

185
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: half half Kendrick Falk the edge rusher out of Auburn.

186
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: That surprised me.

187
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: That surprised me, and I don't like it.

188
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: Surprised me big time. I don't like full. I still

189
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: I think that's a little rich for Tate, but I can.

190
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: I mean, they did just trade for an edge rusher

191
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: for one.

192
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: Thing, exactly right. They just acquired They.

193
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: Don't couldn't use another, but absolutely.

194
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: And in the Carnel Tait okay, four is probably a

195
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: little rich for my blood, but he's wide receiver one

196
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 2: in this group. And you give cam Ward a you know,

197
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: a nice the shiny playmaking object, but faulk at four man,

198
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: that would be crazy.

199
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: I think that's nuts. And I just don't see enough production.

200
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: I see the traits and they could wait to develop them.

201
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: There's not a lot of pressure to win now. But

202
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 4: that's just early for what he puts on the field.

203
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 4: To me, Tate didn't didn't run well. I'm putting that

204
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: in quotes. But if you told me two weeks ago

205
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 4: that the sixth, one hundred and ninety five pounds from

206
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: Ohio State wide receiver from a school that never ever

207
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 4: ever has a bus, and they're always like phenomenal. Only

208
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 4: ran A, only ran A four five three, which is

209
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 4: like with all the best receivers in the league, it's

210
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: like Smith and Jig.

211
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: But right, right, right, that's like we went through that

212
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: list right in between Ceedee Lamb and Davante Adams.

213
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 3: I'll take that. That's all right.

214
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, what's wrong with that? And then he's gonna

215
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 4: go to Ohio State and onun A four four nine

216
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 4: in a week or something, so I'm not concerned with

217
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: him at all. He'd still be wide receiver one. How

218
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: about Julian Love? There is it? Julian No? No, Jeremiah Yeah, yeah,

219
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 4: here's Julian's though I don't know that's.

220
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: A safety Jordan Love. It's someone between Jordan Love and

221
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 3: right right right, that's my job, Matt, to mess up

222
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: first people's first names. Don't you be doing that last night?

223
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 3: Would Tristan Thompson in this whole equation, would.

224
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: You consider love there? I'm not big on running bad teams,

225
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 4: but I think if if Ward would love it, I

226
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: mean then I think you consider it.

227
00:09:59,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: I think it's safe.

228
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

229
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got a decent offensive line. Yea.

230
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 4: The line's not horrible, and it would be.

231
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: A I think I think I would consider it if

232
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: I'm not completely.

233
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: Probably sign a receiver before this even happens.

234
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: If I'm not completely sold on any one of these

235
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: wide receivers walking right in and being a dude on

236
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: day one.

237
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: I could see it.

238
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 3: I could see it.

239
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I certainly could. I think that's where you

240
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: start to mention his name.

241
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: Yes, pick five pretty unanimous, except for one outlier. The

242
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: New York Giants select Francis Mauigoa, offensive tackle out of Miami.

243
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: One outlier, and that was one anonymous executive had them

244
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: taking Makayle Lemon fifth overall.

245
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 4: Ooh see. My thoughts on Lemon are if all these

246
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: dudes post Combine are truly rising, he might be one

247
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 4: of the fallers. Now that doesn't mean Steeler fans to

248
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: keep your fingers crossed. He's gonna get there. But he's

249
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 4: not huge. He's not super fast, you know, like I

250
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: could just kind of see his stock because others are

251
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 4: rising around, you go in instead of yes, seventh, yea,

252
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: there was something like that we just thought overwhelming physically,

253
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: who is the other They're gonna probably lose their right

254
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: tackle and uh in free agency, so that makes all

255
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: the sense.

256
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 3: In the world. Lemon was the other one at pick five.

257
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 3: That's pretty right, that's pretty rich. Two wide receivers in

258
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: the top five would shock me.

259
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: In a super deep receiver draft.

260
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: Right, Cleveland Browns at six.

261
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: A bunch all different answers for Cleveland here, as you

262
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: can imagine, because they they you could go a lot

263
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: of different ways with the Browns, Caleb Down, the top

264
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: four being Caleb Downs, Spencer, Fanu, Mauigoa, and out of Georgia.

265
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: You're a big riser in this draft. Freeling.

266
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: Wow, that early for Freeling, that's something we kind of predicted.

267
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: Freeling at six, I mean that would be very early,

268
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: but I'm starting to think he's going to be in

269
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: the top twelve.

270
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: I think he's the most true left tackle ish of

271
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: all these guys. Like Fanu has really short arms, he

272
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: had guard. He moves like a left tackle. Malgoa is

273
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 4: definitely a right tackle guards type of player, so I

274
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 4: mean he benefits from being a true left tackle. I

275
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 4: can't imagine not being o ligned.

276
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: I'd be shocked as much as I'd be tempted to

277
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: take downs too, because he might be in Canton in

278
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 2: fifteen twenty years. But I'd be very hard pressed if

279
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: I'm Cleveland to not, Okay, what's the best offensive lineman

280
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: we upgraded here at pick six? Bang, run to the

281
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: podium and draft.

282
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you get your one or two ranked O

283
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 4: lineman on the whole draft, I take you grab.

284
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 2: That easy decision seven. The Washington Commanders, fifty of the

285
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: anonymous execs have them taking Tait here at pick seven.

286
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: The free agent, Yes, yeah, the other selections being Sonny

287
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 2: Styles or Reuben Bain Junior.

288
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: I think I'd be I don't know how to pass

289
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 3: on Styles for that defense. I think he would look

290
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: really good in the middle of that defense.

291
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: That maybe plays with Bobby Wagner for a year or

292
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: a year, and that's kind of like the you know,

293
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: Aaron dropping Ty Simpson with Aaron Rodgers or Matthew Stafford

294
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 4: are one of those that would be a great succession

295
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 4: playing there. They need a lot, they need everything on defense,

296
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: they need another receiver. Definitely makes sense, But I think

297
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: Styles is the best prospect out of need.

298
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: They might be the first team for me here that

299
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: I say, just run to the podium and take the BPA.

300
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 4: Which would be like styles are downs exactly right, right.

301
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: Right, styles downs. Maybe one of the wide receivers, run

302
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: to the podium and draft them.

303
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: If any chance any of the three Ohio State defenders

304
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 4: are there, you just and they're.

305
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: Probably one of them, I would think so, yeah, right,

306
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: I would think so, and you just take them.

307
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: Number eight, the New Orleans Saints. This is where we

308
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: see Jeremiah Love going for the first time. Also here

309
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: Malachi Lemon being mocked, here, Mansord Delanne being mocked here

310
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: the corner out of LSU, and Jordan Tyson, wide receiver

311
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: from Arizona State.

312
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 4: No clue, well, how to comment on Tyson's medicals. We're

313
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 4: not going to get that news. I mean, maybe we'll

314
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: get some rumblings between now in the draft, but I

315
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: don't know if it went well. We're not. Who knows

316
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: a receiver would be helpful. Love is often pigeonholed here

317
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: or Kansas City, Yes, and I totally understand it. And

318
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 4: then you might get the best player in the draft

319
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: at nine. That's pretty good.

320
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,599
Speaker 2: And then Kansas City almost unanimously Love except for the

321
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: executive that had him going eight to the Saints, as

322
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs taking Reuben Bain Junior at nine, and for.

323
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: The Chiefs who still have major and rightfully so Super

324
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 4: Bowl aspirations, I think I take Bain and don't worry

325
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: about the the arm length thing because I just need

326
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 4: to come in and jolt my pass rush. Now, you know,

327
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: helped me win when we got to lead on third

328
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 4: and eights and we're up ten at home and that

329
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: place is nuts and Patty got thirty two points on

330
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 4: the board for you go close it.

331
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: Out, Go close it out for Yeah, yeah, that does

332
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: make a lot of sense.

333
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: And then finally, of this division, the Cincinnati Bengals, about

334
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the executives have them drafting Funu here

335
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: at pick ten. The other two popular choices.

336
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: We don't think they take Fan. I mean they have

337
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 4: two tackles. They signed Risner back. Maybe he's got this

338
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 4: information before that that I'm sure he got the shoe combine,

339
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 4: sure because I could see Fan who playing guard and

340
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 4: then eventually taken over for Brown at tackle. So I

341
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 4: guess that makes sense considering the timing. But I'm taking

342
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: downs all day long. If he's there for Cincy. Keep

343
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 4: him in Ohio. Absolutely, that's kind of what they do.

344
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: Ruben Bain also a popular choice here, as is Peter Woods,

345
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: the defensive tackle out of Clemson.

346
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: Man, if he goes tenth overall.

347
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 4: My Steeler fandom would be happy about it.

348
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: Listen, these anonymous NFL executives have forgotten more about football

349
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: than I'll ever know.

350
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 4: Sure, but I just I have.

351
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: I really soured on Woods in the last few weeks.

352
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: I wish he was bigger. Didn't see gray tape, you know, I.

353
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: Just don't know what box he checks for me to

354
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 3: hang my hat on. Tapes not great, The testing wasn't great,

355
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: the measurements weren't great. Why am I taking this right now?

356
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 4: Why would we take him over Banks? If I'm taking

357
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: a d tackle right?

358
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: You know, right right?

359
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: So that it's the Again, that was anonymous NFL executives,

360
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: how they think the top ten plays out.

361
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: Here's what we're gonna do.

362
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break and then we're gonna run

363
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: two different let's do uh, let's do one pff macks.

364
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna do two rounds of mock drafts here. Okay,

365
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: So the Steelers first two, three, three, Okay, first five picks.

366
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: Makes sense, we'll do.

367
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll do PFF for one, and then maybe we

368
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: can go like uh Pro Football Network and mock Draft Database.

369
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: We'll pick a different one for for two. So that's

370
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: what we'll do.

371
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: End up. Yeah, exactly. They might be exactly the same,

372
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: same players.

373
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: They might compare and contrast drastically. We will.

374
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: You've been you've been calling for it. We'll get into it.

375
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: Mock Draft simulator one point zero for the Drive when

376
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: we return. Wes Uler, Matt Williamson. Just getting started today.

377
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: It is the Drive Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers

378
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: Audio Network, your twos.

379
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

380
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

381
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: You asked for it, You're getting it.

382
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: Mock Draft Hour here on the Drive on this Tuesday,

383
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: and we're gonna fire up our first simulator. I'm sure

384
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: we'll do this a few times, maybe even many times

385
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: between now and the end of April. Yeah, oh yeah,

386
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna have some other other than just mock drafts.

387
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna do the how many players would you trade

388
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 2: for pick twenty one conversation. We're gonna do the if

389
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: you were the Steelers drafting at one, you would take

390
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: and then if you were the Steelers drafting at two,

391
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: you would take that exercise that you and Dale came

392
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: up with that I love so much.

393
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 4: I wouldn't expect much of it next week, though, I mean,

394
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: wee week. It's gonna be free agency, frankly, the busiest

395
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 4: week of the season.

396
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: Yes, it really is.

397
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 2: And then actually it'll get I think, even more fun

398
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: to do these exercises after that, because you could start

399
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: to narrow your focus.

400
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: So I'm sure people remember. But Dale and I mocked,

401
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 4: mocked till we dropped.

402
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: I mean, is that why we've been getting so many tweets?

403
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 4: Like the mock drafts. Guys, we started earlier, we did

404
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 4: them more so at this point we had many mocks

405
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 4: under our belt, and it got to the point where

406
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, we gotta set some parameters here.

407
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 4: Like let's say in this mock the Steelers have re

408
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 4: signed Pierre Ciamalu and Daubs. Sure, you know, sure for

409
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: this one. I just think we just do a generic.

410
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: I think so too.

411
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, I think so too. After you do a

412
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: bunch of them, eventually you'll be like they're gonna sign

413
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 4: so many people before the draft. Let's make it a

414
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 4: little more realistic.

415
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: Correct, So let's fire this up. We're gonna go pro

416
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: football focus here. Three rounds, Steelers picking at twenty one.

417
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 2: Let's enter the draft and let's see.

418
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: How this all plays out.

419
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: Five picks then yes, yes, trades allowed or not.

420
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: I think for this exercise we can say, like I'd

421
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: pick up the phone here, So let's let's go through

422
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: it here and see how this plays out.

423
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: Fana Mendozo say.

424
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 4: It wouldn't break my heart if we just didn't make

425
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: any trades because it's the first one. Because you can

426
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 4: really manipulate things. En up like seven picks in these

427
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 4: three rounds, it gets a little crazy.

428
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 2: I think we should stay pretty static. Yeah, I think

429
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 2: just start Fernando Mendoza number one, Ruben Baines, you.

430
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: And your number two.

431
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: Wow, I don't see that happening.

432
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: But Caleb Downs number three, Jeremiah Love number four to

433
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 2: the Titans, Francis Maui goo of five to the Giants.

434
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 2: McKay lemon first wide receiver off the board to the

435
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: Browns at six, Sonny Styles seven to the Commanders, Carneal

436
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: Tate eight to the Saints, David Bailey nine to the Chiefs.

437
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 3: My goodness with that Steele for Kansas City.

438
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: Man, Sword Delanne ten to the Bengals. Jermad McCoy, so

439
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: back to back cornerbacks there, Jamar McCoy eleven to the Dolphins.

440
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: The Cowboys go c. J. Allen, linebacker out of Georgia.

441
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: At twelve, the Rams Caleb Banks, first defensive tackle, first

442
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: defensive lineman off the board at thirteen. The Ravens go

443
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 2: a Key messidor other edge rusher from Miami. Avion Terrell

444
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: fifteen to the Bucks. Rvel Reese sixteen to the Jets.

445
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no chance that he until sixteen.

446
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, once in while you run these things like, wow,

447
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: come on, I'm just happy he's not sitting there twenty one.

448
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously purposes out of the conversation.

449
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there have been some names I'm happy of

450
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: gone same.

451
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Monroe Feeling goes seventeen to the Lions, tackle out

452
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: of Georgia, Spencer Fanu eighteen to the Vikings. Okay, and

453
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 2: then so at pick nineteen. I would have loved how

454
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: this fell for the Steelers so far.

455
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 4: But those first eighteen don't break your heart too bad.

456
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: But then at nineteen Jordan Tyson goes to the Panthers.

457
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: At twenty, your boy Dylan Finnemon goes.

458
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 4: To the Cowboys.

459
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: I would have wanted either of those two at twenty

460
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: one in this scenario, So that leaves us a couple

461
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: edge rushers that were not going to take as Kedrick

462
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 2: fall Can, Cashius Hell Denzel Boston is still There'll be

463
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: fine Ola Ione who we always butcher his name. The

464
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: guard from Penn State is still there. Kaden McDonald defensive

465
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,080

469
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: and of course ty Simpson.

470
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: I don't think Sadiq would ever last that long, but

471
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 4: I don't know how much they've adjusted from combine stuff too,

472
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 4: and I don't know how these simulators work on their end.

473
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 4: Same Boston's pretty chalky and pretty boring, but I would

474
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: have no qualms of that whatsoever. And I think there's

475
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: if I were setting Vegas odds on who goes twenty

476
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: first overall, as we sit here, before free agency. I

477
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: think Boston would be the guy get the shortest odds

478
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: on or pays the worst.

479
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what about Vega, I'd be very tempted.

480
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 4: I mean, he's talking about a young offensive line that

481
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 4: could be one of the best in the league for

482
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 4: ten years, and he feels like, I mean, from left

483
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 4: guard to right tackle, you're done. He a long time.

484
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: He feels like too.

485
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: I know, the positional value you have to take an

486
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: exa with jo Reese is there, but he feels.

487
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: Like he might be the best offensive lineman in this class.

488
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: I think he is.

489
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: The more I watch him, the more I'm impressed with

490
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 4: him that and the more people he has no bust potential.

491
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 4: Everybody does. But he's really good. I mean like, if

492
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 4: I was just putting grades on players, he'd easily be

493
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: a top ten player, and he might end up being

494
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 4: like sixth because he'd be ahead of all the tackles. Yeah,

495
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 4: you might be done at O line basics.

496
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: And you might be getting the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth

497
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 3: guy on your big board at pick twenty one exactly.

498
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: And there's way more to pick from with the second

499
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 4: round receivers than there is alignment.

500
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: That's where I'm at too.

501
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously if you would have inked to

502
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: see him all do at this point, I think you wouldn't.

503
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 4: Of course, as we sit here with a pretty barren roster,

504
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 4: as all teams are, because there's hundreds of people about

505
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 4: hit free agency, would.

506
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: You give any consideration to a Manuel McNeil Warren here?

507
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: It is, he's just not the type you're looking for,

508
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: it safety, He's not.

509
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 4: The type I'm looking for. Yeah, I mean I think

510
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: he's worth the pick. I mean if Elliott was a

511
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 4: free I'd be like, yeah, yeah, I mean I just

512
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 4: think that he would be a distant third behind those two.

513
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 4: Your choice you like better than I mean, does anyone else.

514
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 4: That's even we didn't bring up Ty Simpson.

515
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 3: He's still on the board.

516
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 4: I know he is on the board. He's getting a

517
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 4: lot of buzz, but that does I don't jump out

518
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 4: of my skin for that.

519
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: Maybe Colton Hood the other corner out of Tennessee, I'd

520
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: be interested, but there's.

521
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 4: I like it a lot. Yeah, you know, I think

522
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: we just assume Pierre and or Samuel is going to

523
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 4: be a Steeler by then. But as it sits right now,

524
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 4: you don't have a number two corner.

525
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: Correct, So how about this?

526
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: The more I think about this, I don't think you

527
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: and I are going to do many mock drafts where

528
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: we're going to take Vega, right.

529
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 4: I want to see what it looks.

530
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: So maybe we do that here to see what it looks.

531
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Like I think everyone listened

532
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 4: to me, I've said I would. I'm taking two offensive

533
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 4: linemen in this draft, non centers, you know, so I

534
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: would still be in the market for maybe next year's

535
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 4: left tackle, but way less. Now you know, I got

536
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 4: four young stud starters and the Cook Jones combination at

537
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: left tackle. If Cook plays well enough, you could throw

538
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 4: an extra year on his deal. Oh absolutely, Broderick might

539
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 4: get reborn or his health is still a problem too,

540
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 4: But I would still like to add a tackle. But

541
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: like that, that need went down drastically with that pick.

542
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 4: That old line could be the best in the league

543
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 4: in two years.

544
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: Oh, it absolutely could. Yeah, And of course this is

545
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: freezing up on me. Now, come on, Pro Football Focus.

546
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: It's given me the spinning wheel. I was working so well,

547
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: come on, we were having fun. I don't want to

548
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: hit the refresh button because then we're gonna lose a team. Guy. Goodness,

549
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: it's just giving me the spinning wheel. What are we

550
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: doing here? Pro Football Focus? All right, well, I guess

551
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: I gotta hit the refresh button.

552
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 4: H be still there, take him no matter what?

553
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, let's run this back real quick. Pro

554
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 3: Football Focus.

555
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 4: You're on my not you can like force things to

556
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 4: I know you can force the trade.

557
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 3: I think I think I think you I think you can. Yeah,

558
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: so let's see here.

559
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 4: Let's just go like the Ravens though, but never think.

560
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 4: We just talked about it's going to be shy.

561
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 3: All right, he's still there in our refense.

562
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 4: Very good. Just take them.

563
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,239
Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna take him.

564
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: And you know what, actually some of the guys are

565
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: like one or two spots different, but it fell very

566
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: similar to that. That works out. Let's take them, all right.

567
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: So here's what happened. Afterwards. Chargers went avon Terrell Corner

568
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: out of Clemson.

569
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 4: His drills were really impressive.

570
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: Yes, let's see here. Uh, Caleb Banks goes to the

571
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: Eagles at twenty three. Oh my goodness, that defensive line.

572
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: Good lord.

573
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: Uh Kadi McDonald twenty four to OHI to the Brown

574
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: So they do get their kind of typical Ohio state

575
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: guy Kenyon Sadik twenty five.

576
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: To the Bears.

577
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 2: See, this is where it gets wonky because, like, I

578
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: get the positional value there, but the Bears aren't drafting

579
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: a time, but two years in a row, no chance,

580
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,120
Speaker 2: uh Bill.

581
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: Taken of the Bears. There's breaking news. Oh boy, I

582
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 4: don't know who this dude is, but Brisker s z

583
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: n he does have the little check mark by him. Okay,

584
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 4: Max Crosby and a fourth round pick to the Bears

585
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 4: for the Bears first their second next year and DJ

586
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: Moore Interesting, I assume that's real.

587
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: I'm scrolling through the schefters of the world and there's

588
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: nothing about it.

589
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: I mean, he's got over five thousand followers. I'd like

590
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: to see schefters say.

591
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 3: I'm very skeptical in this world now.

592
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 4: But I think it was even schefter yesterday that said

593
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 4: I think Crosby gona ge traded next day or two. Okay,

594
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 4: I very much knew DJ Moore would be on the

595
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: move and the Raiders could absolutely use them. This compensation

596
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 4: adds up, and the Bears are a team I've brought

597
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 4: up many times with Crosby because yes, I think you

598
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 4: know me, I'm not Washington a year ago. You know,

599
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 4: most of these teams that run before they can walk

600
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 4: are not one player away. But he's pretty darn close.

601
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get back to the mark. But that's that's just.

602
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: Let's keep an eye. Let's keep an eye on that.

603
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see it if you can confirm it.

604
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: No, we'll see if Yeah, if it gets tweeted out

605
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 2: by any other heavy hitters, we'll have our crack team

606
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: of producers in here keeping an eye on it for us.

607
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 2: Emmanuel McNeil Warren goes twenty six to the Bills.

608
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: TJ.

609
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 2: Parker, ed rusher out of Clemson twenty seven to sant

610
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: Fran Peter Woods, defensive lineman out of Clemson goes to

611
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: the Texans at twenty eight.

612
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 3: Ty Simpson to the Rams at twenty nine. That'd be

613
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 3: a perfect landing spot for him.

614
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: That's where he should go, you know, yeah, yeah.

615
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 3: Denzel Boston goes thirty to the Broncos, Caden Procter thirty

616
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: one to the Patriots, and Caleb Lomoo thirty two to

617
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Okay, I'll tell you

618
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 3: what those those two teams would be happy getting those

619
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 3: guys at thirty one.

620
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: That doesn't usually happen to Super Bowl teams.

621
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 3: Oh no, it does not.

622
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: At it's probably too late. I mean Boston at thirty

623
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 4: caught my eye though, too. Like I'm not willing to

624
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: give up what you'd have to give up to go

625
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 4: from mid to late second all the way to thirty.

626
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 4: But if he would have fallen, you know, like if

627
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 4: we leave on Thursday and he's still out there, I

628
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 4: might be calling to get to the top of round

629
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 4: two for him absolpecially if you drafted a guard in

630
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: the first round, absolutely him in or somebody like that.

631

Speaker 4: He seems to get some steam right now too.

634
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: He's he's rocking those draft boards. Casey Concepcion goes thirty four.

635
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 4: To a little bigger than I thought he would. I

636
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 4: don't know why a guy like that wouldn't run Combine

637
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 4: makes no sense, makes no sense of this guy right

638
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 4: running the fast track with everybody else. But he was

639
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 4: bigger than I thought.

640
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: Keith Abney Corner out of Arizona State goes to the

641
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,920

Speaker 2: the other Oregon guys that we haven't talked about much.

647
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: He's a guard. He goes thirty. By the way he

648
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: goes thirty eight to the I think he's gonna be.

649
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 4: If he's like floating around the second round ay A

650
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 4: and m cut to.

651
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 3: He's gonna be like one of those like drafted in

652
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: the Zach Frasier range.

653
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think he compel years very good, Yeah,

654
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 4: very good.

655
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: Thirty nine the Browns take our Mason Thomas. I think

656
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: he was a president of this country at one point.

657
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: He's also an edge rusher out of Oklahoma. Fortieth the Chiefs.

658
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: They go offense this time. They take Chris Bell wide

659
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: receiver out of Louisville Bengals at forty one. Defensive lineman

660
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: Christian Miller out of Georgia. Forty two. The Saints take

661
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: one of my draft crushes, Lee Hunter, defensive lineman out

662
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 2: of Texas Tech.

663
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 4: His jumps and things were really bad. He might fall

664
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: to the Steelers second pick.

665
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: He might, and I'd be interested because he can do no.

666
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 2: I don't care about nose tackle, how vertical he can get, right,

667
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: I got, I got everybody else on that defensive line

668
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: of batdown passes. Eli Stowers, the athletic freak tight end

669
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: out of Vandy. He goes forty three to the Dolphins.

670
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: He definitely won him going before fifty two or whatever

671
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 4: a series.

672
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 3: Pick agreed as probably this guy too, Anthony Hill junior

673
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: and other years he might have been linebacker number one

674
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: in this class. He goes forty four to the Jets.

675
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: Omar Cooper junior wide receiver out of Indiana who made

676
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,360

00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: to Baltimore. Forty six max Ian h Shure one.

678
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: Of the you really like that. I like him too,

679
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: but I think you're even even a bigger fan.

680
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: You know me.

681
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: I got a soft spot for the the big twelve guys.

682
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: He very well could be. He goes forty six to

683
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: the Bucks. Gabe Jacos, ed rusher out of Illinois, goes

684
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 2: to the Colts at forty seven. Blake Miller tackled their

685
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: first pick Yeah, Blake Millard, and they could they could

686
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: use some help in a lot of different places. Ye,

687
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: Blake Miller Falcons first pick goes the tackle lot of

688
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: Clemson goes to Atlanta at forty eight. D'Angelo Ponds, the

689
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: undersized but nasty cornerback from Indiana, goes to the Vikings

690
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: at forty nine. Keyante Scott of pick six fame in

691
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 2: the Ohio State playoff game out of Miami. The corner

692
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: goes fifty to the Lions.

693
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 4: Corner safety slot. Yeah, Jack of all trade.

694
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 3: He's one of those old guys.

695
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: He's like twenty four to twenty five already, but he's

696
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 2: he's a very intriguing prospect.

697
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 4: He would be a very helpful piece to anyone.

698
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Jeremy Bernard, wide receiver out of Alabama, fifty one

699
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: to the Panthers.

700
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 3: Man, I'd like how him, I'd like how he pairs

701
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: with Ted McMillan.

702
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: And then fifty two safety out of LSU all met

703
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 2: you wouldn't like that because he'd have been a good

704
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: option at fifty three.

705
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: A j is it Houseley? Is that how he pronounces

706
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: his last name? Howsley? Okay?

707
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, So the Steelers on the clock at

708
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: pick fifty three. Here's what we're looking at.

709
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 4: I feel like we almost have to go receive.

710
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: I feel like, I mean we after passing on one

711
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: and round one.

712
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 4: Yes, there's other places of need.

713
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: But Jake Galladay linebacker out of Cincinnati, still there. Caleb Tiernan,

714
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: tackle out of Northwestern, still there. Dante Corleone, who I

715
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: really like, would would love him as a potential third

716
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: round guy if he was in this conversation. If you

717
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: want to watch some fun tape, go back and watch

718
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: when he was bursting onto the scene two years ago

719
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: against senior dominant Zach Fraser. That entire year, Zach Fraser

720
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 2: dominated the Big twelve. Dante Corleone was the one exception,

721
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: the one guy who gave him some problem. Now, I mean,

722
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: I think we won that game like forty to fourteen,

723
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: but that was like the one game his senior season

724
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: that Zach didn't dominate was against corleon when he was

725
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: a young sophomore at Cincinnati a couple of years ago.

726
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: That's fun tape to watch. Chris Johnson corner out of

727
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: San Diego State. Chase who you talked about. Chase bistonis

728
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: the guard out of Texas A and m So if

729
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: we hadn't have gone with Vega, maybe we'd consider him here.

730
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 2: Jed Daria Price, Jedarian Price part of me, the other

731
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: running back from Notre Dame is there. Josiah trotter.

732
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: Man, Kamari Ramsey, the safety out of out of USC

733
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: there's you're not I'm not listening to any wide out

734
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: let me.

735
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 4: That's you can get in trouble. You know, Like we

736
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: took the best guy, and I think it made perfect sense.

737
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 4: But now if we would have taken Boston, we wouldn't

738
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 4: be in this predicament where you have to take a guard.

739
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 4: But when you took the guard, prospects ex actually have

740
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 4: to take a receiver.

741
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: I think you're spot on.

742
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to go I'm not taking a

743
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 4: third round guy to take them.

744
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: But there's some there's still some intriguing ones left here

745
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: at fifty three. Elijah Suratt out of Indiana's there, all right?

746
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 4: I could live with that.

747
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 3: Malchi Field's out of Notre Dame. Zachariah Branch out of Georgia.

748
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: How about Brazzles, He brazzle is still there, okay. Skyler

749
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 3: Bell from Yukon. CJ. Daniels from Miami, Dion Burks from Oklahoma.

750
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 4: So your favor I think you have to grab one

751
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 4: of those. All those I think are worth the second.

752
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 3: I think the top three surrat Fields and Branch.

753
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Branch is a little little for my likes.

754
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: So this is one of those. But hey, not knowing

755
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: what you have if you go out and free agency

756
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: and you get another big body type.

757
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, but we're kind of playing Signel Robinson. I'm

758
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 4: not taking Ranch exactly right.

759
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 3: We're kind of playing it as it lies at this point.

760
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 3: To use a you know, to use a golf.

761
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 4: The real generic. Yes, I think I go with Field.

762
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 3: I think I would too. Let's do it.

763
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: Malachai Fields out of Notre Dame is our pick at

764
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 2: fifty three.

765
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: Okay, helping the offense.

766
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: It's given me the spinny thing again, what is going

767
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 3: on here? Pro football?

768
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: We have for this.

769
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: Let's do that too. We this has been longer. I

770
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 3: don't know why I thought that we would fit all

771
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 3: of five. There's a lot of talking three.

772
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: If you don't go through every pick, like for future reference,

773
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 4: I wouldn't go through every pick. Yeah, yeah, especially on

774
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 4: day two. Second and yeah, that's.

775
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: A good point. Maybe the few that are right before

776
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: the Steelers, just so we can see what was there.

777
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 4: But in the first round it makes sense.

778
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, But in this exercise, we came away with Vega

779
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 3: offensive guard out of Penn State and Malachai Fields wide

780
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: receiver from Notre Dame. Strong, strong, and I think we

781
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: take right now, let's take them show. Let's take a

782
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: break here. We have three picks to make in the

783
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 3: third round. Where we go there would we consider any

784
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: trades at that point. That's how we'll close out the

785
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 3: first hour. When we return West shoulder. Matt Williamson, it's

786
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 3: Mock Draft Hour here on the Drive Steelers Nation Radio

787
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,440

Speaker 1: Your tune's about Drive on your twenty four to seven

789
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal.

790
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 3: Steelers Nation Radio. Mock Draft Hour here, rolling along as

791
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 3: long as the Pro Football Focus overlords do not get

792
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 3: us breathe.

793
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,479
Speaker 2: But Vega, I O a guard out of Penn State.

794
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 2: I think I'm still butchering his last name, but we'll

795
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: just call him Vegas. Yeah, and then Malachi Fields wide

796
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 2: receiver out of Notre Dame were our first and second

797
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: round picks. We are back on the clock at picks

798
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: seventy six, Matt.

799
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 4: So we have three picks left in this segment.

800
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 3: Seventy six, eighty five, and ninety nine.

801
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 4: I'm not sure that would be one percent done with receiver.

802
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 3: So it's funny you say that because if there's.

803
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 4: Ones like boy, we were just thinking about.

804
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 3: Him, Zachariah Branch is still on the board, that's kind

805
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: of fun I might double.

806
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: Dip and right, they're so different, young chief.

807
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 3: It'd be one thing if you just drafted a smaller, speedier,

808
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: slot capable guy, but you didn't.

809
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 4: So I urge everyone, and we talked about a lot,

810
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 4: but probably you need to talk about more. Does next

811
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 4: year's first round pick quarterback approve of this move? Heck

812
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 4: yeah he does. Heck yes, yeah yeah, Fields and Branch.

813
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 4: I mean one's an easy completion guy wanes that go

814
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 4: up and get it. Dude, you got four fifths of

815
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 4: a young offensive line, Like you're making life easy for

816
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 4: whoever that guy's gonna be. Who else is floating.

817
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 2: Around but Chaydler Rivers and Dalen Everett both corners. Rivers

818
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: out of Duke Everett at of Rivers.

819
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 4: A slot Edwards would also be kind of a safety slot,

820
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 4: bigger slot type guy.

821
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: Nuss is still there. Jacob Rodriguez is still there.

822
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 4: That shocks me.

823
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: But I don't think he'll still be there. Yeah, you

824
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 3: know who's still there? That would intrigue me.

825
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: It's not a position to need, but he could be

826
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: a top twenty player in this draft when it's all

827
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 2: said and done. Michael Trigg tight end out of Baylor. Yeah,

828
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 2: but I think a third time I can't Yeah, yeah,

829
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I think I think we go

830
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch.

831
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 3: Right, let's do it. Let's see if our overlords I.

832
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 4: Start focusing defense in a big way.

833
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.

834
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 4: What is this thing?

835
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 3: It's like every time we go to make a new pick,

836
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 3: it freezes up. Yo, Pro football Focus, get your get

837
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 3: your bleep together here, guys, what are we doing? Goodness? Gracious?

838
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 2: All right, hold on, let me refresh once again for

839
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 2: the million teenth time. We're never using Pro Football Focus

840
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: again for this exercise. They're out, all right, Vega at

841
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: pick twenty one, receiver Malachai Fields at pick fifty three,

842
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: and Zachariah Branch at pick seventy six. We are on

843
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 2: the clock at pick eighty five. Jacob Rodriguez is still there.

844
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 2: There's no way, but I would rush to the potus.

845
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: I think that's I'm fine with that.

846
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that.

847
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 4: Um, and you could figure out a way to put him,

848
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: Queen and Wilson on the field.

849
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: My gosh.

850
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it probably assures Queen isn't back next year, but.

851
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 3: Kyle Lewis is still there.

852
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 4: I prefer I don't trust the Lewis is going to

853
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 4: be the next Amari thing.

854
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 3: Wow, that's just because you're a West Virginia guy and

855
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 3: you're a pit I think we go Jacob Rodriguez.

856
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean best.

857
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 3: I mean I think it has to be and we've

858
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 3: gone offense, offense, offense, so at this point, let's do it.

859
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 4: I mean a minimum. He's like your best special team.

860
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 3: Or exactly right, right, exactly right.

861
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 4: But him and Wilson could be a real nice pairing

862
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: for a long time.

863
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: Yes, they could, dude. It is hilarious.

864
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 2: Every time we make a pick, this thing freezes up,

865
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 2: Like what is going on here with Pro Football Focus

866
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: in their mock draft simulator today, Like I said, they

867
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: just they just lost me for the rest of for

868
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: the rest.

869
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 3: Of this offseason.

870
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 2: But let's they're losing some clientele. They're making me do

871
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: too much tap dancing here, Matt. Don't they know that

872
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: this is hard work? I mean, geez luise, all right?

873
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 4: We all right with those four picks in the books?

874
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: Yes, where you thinking here? At ninety nine?

875
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 4: Positional wise, he's probably long gone, just because we brought

876
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 4: them up a long time ago. But at Dante Corleone type,

877
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 4: he's gone orange or you know, some kind of nose

878
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 4: with a little more nose with benefits, you know, a

879
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 4: little bit more than or just best defensive back on

880
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 4: the board. You know, safety is such a need right now.

881
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 4: We haven't touched it. And I'm certain they'll add somebody,

882
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 4: but in this world they haven't. At this point, we

883
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 4: didn't have a number two corner. Like, I'm not gonna

884
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 4: lie to change.

885
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie.

886
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 2: I do think Jacob Rodriguez lasting to the eighty fifth

887
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 2: pick is a little bit of fools gold.

888
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: I will go ahead and agreed. I will go ahead

889
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: and admit that.

890
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: But the way this played out, getting Vega at twenty one,

891
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: back to back receivers fields and Branch at fifty three

892
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 2: and seventy six, and then just a dynamic off ball

893
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 2: playmaker in Jacob Rodriguez.

894
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I couldn't believe he's still there. That's why

895
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 4: you traded Pickens for the extra third, because you he

896
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 4: didn't need the extra third. But you take the guy

897
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 4: you can't believe still there.

898
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 2: Exactly right, right, So it picked it picked ninety nine.

899
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: I'm wide open, feeling good, but I am looking towards

900
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 2: the secondary certain.

901
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 4: In a big way like Carson a d lineman that

902
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 4: blew me away.

903
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 2: Like Carson Beck is still there. But I'm I've shared

904
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 2: with you my opinions on him before. I think he's

905
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 2: got all the talent in the world, but I don't

906
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 2: think he has it between the ears.

907
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 4: I'd rather spend that time work on Will Howard.

908
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, the key and how about that? We both agree

909
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: and everyone says we're Will Howard haters.

910
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 4: No.

911
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: No, Zakey Wheatley, the safety out of Penn State is

912
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 2: still there. Genesis Smith.

913
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 4: He's not for me at all. He doesn't tackle or

914
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,479
Speaker 4: do anything physical or I don't know he's a football player.

915
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: I mean not to be critical, but I get what

916
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 3: you're saying.

917
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 4: It's funny. I was talking to John Ledyard off the

918
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 4: air about him. I'm like, what do you think of Smith.

919
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 4: I watch this guy. He doesn't He's like, I hate him.

920
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 4: He doesn't do anything. He's just fast. He's always called

921
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 4: those guys power inspectors. He's the guy when the pow

922
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 4: f hits comes right up to the pole and didn't

923
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 4: quite make that tackle.

924
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: You know, he can run down the field and go

925
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: out with Jabar Chase right right.

926
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 4: Other than that, keep him far away from line of scrimmage,

927
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 4: and there's a place for that.

928
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 2: But you know, uh, Darryl Jackson Junior, the defensive lineman

929
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: out of Florida State, is still there. Trading Stokes the

930
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: cornerback out of Arizona still there, would be fine.

931
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 4: Will see. You know, this is another thing that on

932
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 4: I used talk about it. He could he could room

933
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 4: with Vega. Yeah, there'd be buddies together.

934
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

935
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes your transition a little easier.

936
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: Will will Lee corner out of A and M is

937
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 2: still there. Malik Malik Mohammad corner out of Texas is

938
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 2: still there. Bud Clark safety out of TCU is still there.

939
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 2: You could replace Chuck Clark with Bud Clark.

940
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 4: How about that. Bud tested much better than I thought

941
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 4: he would.

942
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: I like him.

943
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, pick ninety nine might be a little too He's

944
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 2: like one of those guys that I might if he's

945
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 2: in the fourth round, I would jump all over him.

946
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: This might be a little too rich, but position of

947
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: position to need all those things, it's a it's kind

948
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: of a bonus pick, as you alluded to. I would

949
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 2: like to come out of this the way this has

950
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: fallen and still with free agency, TBD man, I would

951
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 2: like to come out of this pick ninety nine here

952
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 2: with somebody in the secondary, whether it be a safety

953
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: I think, or a corner.

954
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 4: Considering what's under contract this minute, is very slim in

955
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 4: the secondary, agreed. So Muhammed out of Texas was the

956
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 4: name that pop Muhammad? Yep.

957
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: Julian Neil out of Arkansas is still there, fat like

958
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 2: Fad Dixon out of u NC is still there. He

959
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: sounds like a character from Blue Mountain State. That's what

960
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 2: Justin was laughing about over there, Michael Taffey, the safety.

961
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 4: Mountain State is. But I had some chuckles to myself

962
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 4: to that one as well.

963
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 3: Blue Mountain State is almost like it's like a comedy

964
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 3: like sitcom football.

965
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 4: Okay, slap you know what TV show probably should move on. Yep.

966
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 2: Let's move on Jalen stroman safety out of Notre Name

967
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 2: colew was Newski safety out of Texas Tech.

968
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 4: I like Bud Clark.

969
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: I like Bud Clark or z A. Key Wheatley.

970
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, as much as I I know a

971
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: lot of the a lot of the listeners are not

972
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: gonna like us taking two Penn State guys.

973
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry about it.

974
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 4: Obie buddies, they can room together.

975
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, heck yeah, that works out well.

976
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: I think we go as a key weekly at pick

977
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 2: ninety eight and we come away with guard, wide receiver,

978
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 2: wide receiver, linebacker safety in our picks. So twenty one

979
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 2: is Vega guard out of Penn State, Malachi Fields and

980
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch fifty three and seventy six wide receivers out

981
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 2: of Notre Dame and Georgia Jacob Rodriguez, who was a

982
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: Heisman finalist as a linebacker.

983
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 3: That's how many plays that this dude was making.

984
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 4: All Overton Wilson. I mean, he was like a similar

985
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 4: college player, and I.

986
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: Think a lot of people didn't think Peyton Wilson would

987
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 2: last as long as he did, although he did have

988
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: some medical concerns at least coming out of college which

989
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 2: have not popped up. Yeah, knock on wood to this point,

990
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: and then we go safety za Key Wheatley out of

991
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania State University at ninety nine third round.

992
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 4: Too early to think this way, But you got a

993
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 4: lot better on special teams with those last two picks too.

994
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 4: I mean, like those guys should be demons on special teams.

995
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 3: And a lot of those, you know, you were kind

996
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 3: of running through the list of secondary you know, Cornfa

997
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 3: replacement and some of these guys that you've really counted

998
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 3: on on special teams, killer Brew, Pierre, their future is

999
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 3: up in the air right.

1000
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 4: Right even if you were signed, Pierre, I don't know

1001
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 4: if you're going to make them run down on kicks.

1002
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 3: And you and Danny Smith is no longer here, so

1003
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 3: it's a new regime. I don't know who's.

1004
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 4: Always four or five big core special teamers that turn over.

1005
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 2: And I don't know how much this stuff matters because

1006
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: he could just be moving and buying a new place,

1007
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 2: But Miles Killerbrew put his house for sale on U.

1008
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 4: On the mar market in the past few to bring

1009
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 4: those things up because.

1010
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: I don't know it.

1011
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: N just be doing a million different things, but it's

1012
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: off an injury. The timing of those things is is

1013
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 2: certainly always interesting as well. So that is our mock

1014
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 2: draft hour here on this Tuesday.

1015
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 4: Strong.

1016
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: Pretty strong, I'll take it. We'll do more iterations of

1017
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 2: this as we roll along. We'll do specific mock drafts.

1018
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 2: We'll do like we we've talked about which players would

1019
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: you trade pick twenty one for right now? All these

1020
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 2: different things as we roll along. But that was a

1021
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: good kind of first hour, I think to set the

1022
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 2: stage ahead of free agency because again, when we do

1023
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 2: this specific exercise again, at some point matt Our parameters

1024
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 2: are going to be narrowed and our thought process will

1025
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 2: definitely change pretty substantially, I think.

1026
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 4: Right. I like it.

1027
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 3: I like it too.

1028
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 2: An hour in the book, another hour to go. We

1029
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 2: have to talk about some more combine takeaways. Really good

1030
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 2: article for Matthew Berry, who's very dialed in at these things. Yeah,

1031
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: I also want to get your thoughts Matt on some

1032
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: options in the secondary, like do you want to try

1033
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 2: and attack these guys in free agency?

1034
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 3: Verse, do you want to go to the draft.

1035
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 2: We've got some additional cut candidates to get to tweets

1036
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff here in hour number two that

1037
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: we will do when we get to our number two

1038
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: halfway home. We shooler Matt Williamson. It's the Drive Steelers

1039
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 2: Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network
