Miami Dolphins. Bumped the mike 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.680 a little bit there, but we're gonna go ahead and 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.720 get this thing going with the Dolphins. T U d 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.720 f A class went through the roster here. Looked up, 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.040 some stats, looked up, some numbers looked up, some background, 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.640 and of course went into PFF and of course went 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.720 into the tape, and we kicked it off here with 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.479 running backs. The Quandre White, running back from South Carolina 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.240 who toted the rock eight eight times for five eighty 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.759 three yards last season. That's six point six yards per carry. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.840 Also caught nineteen for two oh two. This guy was 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.280 a top one fifty overall recruit nationally out of North 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.000 Fort Myers High School, just a little bit west to 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.120 us here down in the south of Florida. Committed to 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.920 Florida State, switched to linebacker his freshman season and played 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.840 special teams for eleven games before transferring to Iowa Western 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.440 Community College, where he flipped back to running back and 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.680 became a first team All American at the junior college level, 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.880 and then transferred to South Carolina last year. Four point 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.440 six one average yards after initial contact. That was third 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.960 most young backs who had at least eight carries last 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.200 year in college football. He had multiple ten plus yard 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.000 runs in five of his nine games, thirteen of them 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.480 on total of eighty eight total carries, I should say, 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.400 and on those eight carries forced twenty nine missed tackles. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.680 Watching the tape, quick decision making reads his blocks, reads 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.120 the leverage, and doesn't get wide eyed when he sees 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.280 the cut back lane developed. He rather will press downhill, 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.800 get towards the line of scrimmage, and then once he 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.080 squeezes every ounce he can out of the idea that 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.080 I'm going this direction, opens up the hips, gets to 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.400 the cut back lane with burst and finds a way 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.760 to get to space I mean average yards after contact 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.080 the ten plus yard runs. It was an effective running 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.919 back last year for South Carolina. Interesting player coming over 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.000 here in the undrafted free agent realm. Next tight end 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.400 Tanner Conner out of Idaho State. Now, I could not 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.959 flag down Idaho State tape, but he caught thirty four 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.679 balls for six five yards and three touchdowns and just 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.519 six games last year had thirty four for six eighty 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.120 five and three scores. Back in twenty he was a 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.639 state hurdle champion in Washington State. Went to high school 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:11.200 in Kent, about five minutes from where I used to 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.040 work at a car dealership out in Kent. Small world. There. Again, 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.040 wasn't able to flag down tape of tan Er Connor 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.240 by No fans are excited about the height, weight speed 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.760 combination that he offers. Interesting looking prospect there also at 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.320 wide receiver Braylon Sanders out of Old Miss caught twenty 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.040 four for five forty nine four touchdowns last year and 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.960 a dot of twenty one point three yards and then 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.680 twenty two yards of the year prior eight teen point 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.720 six average depth of target in his career. He got 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.440 vertical a lot in that Old Miss offense for four 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.520 eight forty thirty four and a half inch fort hundred 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:50.840 twenty one inch broad at six fe explosive, explosive, explosive traits. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.320 He was on Good Morning Football talking with the Breakfast Table, 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.680 including a really cool sound bite on deep ball tracking 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.320 and PFF love that area of his game. Ninety three 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.000 point seven receiving grade on passes of twenty or more yards. 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.560 He caught six such balls for two hundred and seventy 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.200 nine yards that's forty six and a half per reception 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.200 and three touchdowns and a solid six point six yards 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.480 after the catch average, So he can get vertical, can 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.919 break tackles and make plays after the catch. And I 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.880 just watching his tape thought he was super polished, and 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.360 the way he runs his routes, particularly on verticals, I 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.960 thought he utilized pacing while working at full speed. What 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.279 you know, subtle eyes, eyes to the outside when I 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.120 want to go inside the head nod to sell that 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.799 fake where he would widen to flatten up the stem. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.480 And what that means is, let's say I want to 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.920 attack inside leverage on a vertical route like a skinny 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.880 post or a post in general, and the cornerback has 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.400 certain landmarks where he's kind of reading my route to 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.120 see where I want to get well, he would he 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.479 would press the toes and then show a kind of 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.839 a widened step to the inside and then flatten that 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.599 thing back out and that kind of creates some in 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.919 decision from the cornerback, and so he would use that 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.720 pacing without losing speed to put them in some peril. 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.320 And we talked about this on the Spaces Show prior 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.320 to the draft with o J McDuffie about the importance 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.440 of playing at full speed and everything you do, and 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.440 o J talked about coming off the ball with the 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.040 same type of intent every single play because it's not 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.200 just about you, it's how the entire offense functions. You've 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.240 gotta be a good teammate and so when you come 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.640 off the line hard every play, you can help sell 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.919 a route, which can create space underneath for a different 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.120 route that kind of comes into that vacancy. You can 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.880 create an ax or access a lane in the running 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:31.640 game by doing that, and I see a lot of 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.960 that on Sanders tape. Everything is fast, urgent, and at 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.360 full speed, and this helps him set up double moves 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.159 to get vertical, which of course leads to those deep 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.320 numbers that we gave you. And there's a catch he 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:47.040 made against Alabama that is absolutely ridiculous, completely covered. They 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.640 converted a potential go ball to a back shoulder that 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.480 was locked down by the Alabama cornerback. But the ball's 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.080 ticketed for the first row of the bleachers, and he 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.040 just reaches out there with one big paw and snatches 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.599 that thing and pulls in. Absolutely absurd. Go find it 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.080 if he can't end on the offensive line. Interesting players here, man, 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.159 there was some some good tape on the guys I 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.600 watched are on the offensive line. And this is gonna 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.320 be the section talking about Ty Clary from Arkansas with 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.440 the Dolphins waived him for he filled physical over the 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.039 course of the weekend at rookie minie camp and replaced 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.480 him with Cole Banwart, who spent parts of the last 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.120 season on the practice squads of the Vikings and Giants, 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.000 but did not appear in a regular season game. Originally 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.080 came into the National Football League at U d f 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.520 A with the Titans. Back one played his college ball 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.320 at Iowa, where he earned third team All American and 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:36.599 second team All Big Ten honors as a senior. In also, 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.000 just looking over the rookie Mini camp roster and the 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.479 tryout roster that was on there, some interesting names. I 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.320 thought that we didn't get a chance to plug into 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.480 the podcast, But now with this edit for the Tye Clary, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.880 we'll go ahead and make that happen. K J. Hill 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.440 first stands out from Ohio State. He was drafted in 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.520 the seventh round a couple of years back and has 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.880 played some games, has ten career catches, played some special teams, 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.479 returned some punts, and just going back to his Ohio 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.080 State tape, I was a big fan of the ability 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.680 to run mesh and just run those crossing routes right 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.920 in over that linebacker in the middle of the football field, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.360 catch the ball and get upfield for some big yak 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.040 some immediate rack in his game. And then also Sam 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.280 Bill formerly of the New York Giants. Was a pick 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.920 in the supplemental draft class, the first pick in the 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.559 third round that year or the year he got drafted. 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.520 The forfeit the future draft pick in that position when 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.240 you go that way via the supplemental draft. But he's 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.600 a guy that had some smooth feats and playmaking ability 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.880 out of Western Michigan. Never really stuck there for the Giants. 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.520 But those are two guys that came in on the 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.920 tryout list, and there was a couple of other veterans 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.560 as well there over the course of the weekend and 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.840 have a chance to make this football team. We'll come 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.880 back and talk more minicamp in just one second, but 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.600 now we go to Arizona State for Kelln diash and man, 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.320 his work really throughout the course of his career was impressive. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.520 Highest rated tackle in the pack twelve last year by 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.320 Pro Football Focus was the eighteenth highest grade tackle among 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.320 Power five schools and second in the pack twelve. Two 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.640 year starter, sixteen career starts at left tackle for the 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.760 Sun Devils. Eight pressures allowed on four hundred and thirteen 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.320 pass blocking snaps. That is a Sterling point seven pass 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.480 block efficiency rate. Twelve pressures in his career on five 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.640 D ninety three snaps also point seven and Pro Football 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.880 Focus liked his game so much they tagged him with 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.760 a blue grade. It's an elite score eighty nine point 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.080 four last year is reserved for the best of the 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.800 best performances. In fact, it was sixth best in the 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.520 country last year and in the company of Zac tom 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.920 Abe Lucas, and Bernard Raymond who were all drafted. Lots 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.360 of players who heard their name called on draft weekend. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.400 First thing that jumps off the tape is a quick feet, 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.720 the ability to stay square under the hips, hips, under shoulders, etcetera, etcetera. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.760 And after initial contact with counter moves, he just gets 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.160 the feet cranking again, get the typewriter feet going again. 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.800 Doesn't bend at his waist, but takes a lot of 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.640 the force and impact on the knees. Want to be 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.679 a knee better, not a waste beender, and that shows 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.480 up in his ability to get wide out in space. 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.160 And then just from an experience standpoint, I thought he 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.640 was pretty refined on tape. You'll see him bluff the punch, 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.000 raw the hands of the rusher and then swipe those 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.360 things down and say no, no, no, no, not so fast. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.640 Had a nine seven three relative athletics score, and there 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.720 were just three categories where he didn't score in the 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.360 green the top of the top percent taller better. There 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.240 were just three categories where he didn't score in that 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.199 green elite category. Among fellow tackles. It was weight, arm 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.800 legs and three cone, but thirty two point five inch 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.360 vert nine two on the broad again both in the 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.560 eighty five or better percentile, and then a forty yard 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.320 dash of four eight nine was percentile so to where 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.960 his twenty yard split and ten yards split as well 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.280 as his shuttle runs. So the athletic ability on the tape, 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.440 on the testing, and you'll hear Emory talk about this 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.720 here in just a second, about certain players at certain 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.120 positions at certain schools. One of those is defenders from Utah. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:48.199 He talked about in Kyle Whittingham's program. Go watch Kellen's 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:52.480 tape against Utah. It's teaching tape. He was ESPNS rated 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.480 prospect heading into the draft, winds up in Miami as 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.480 a U d f A the third offensive lineman Blaze 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.360 Andrews from Minnesota. A more fun tape here. He played 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.360 every position except for center at Minnesota. Five starts at 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.360 left tackle, eleven at left guard, twenty one at right guard, 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.120 and nine at right tackle. Seven pressures and no sacks 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.400 allowed last season per Pro Football Focus on two nine 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:18.360 pass blocking snaps point seven p B seven point seven 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.800 pass block efficiency for his career. Excuse me. With thirty 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.640 two pressures and just under hundred snaps. The guy that 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.280 goes six ft sixty pounds ran a five one seven 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.560 forty it's good for a nine eight one r a 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.480 s and like Dish, just destroyed the forty yard and 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.280 ten and twenty yards splits opening game of the season 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.960 last year, starts at left tackle against Ohio State. Played 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.080 right tackle and right guard as well in the same 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.760 game and had good reps to each spot. We talked 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.480 about the athletic traits, but he was moving some bodies 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.800 for some big runs and power runs down around the 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.880 goal line. They rushed for two oh three and three 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.320 touchdowns in that game, and Andrew's was in the middle 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:55.880 of a lot of it. There's a big block in 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.200 the first quarter where he helps the chip up front 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.320 and then climbs the linebacker and by at the end 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.880 of it. On a third and four, the bat goes 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:07.000 untouched until after the sticks because Andrews wiped out two defenders. Man. 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.960 He plays low, he plays in control. He doesn't lose 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.880 balance when he latches on and then disengages to climb 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.080 to another block. Really fun tape at Minnesota. There on 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.760 the defensive side, Ben Still, the defensive lineman from Nebraska, 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.880 had twenty nine and a half tackles for lost, fourteen 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.960 and a half sacks in five seasons with the corn 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.240 Huskers last year. Six ft five pounds, he can play 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.320 defensive and can play defensive tackle. Had forty two tackles 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.439 last year, including six for a loss, one and a 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.720 half sacks and three p ds. Getting a big pause 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.160 up there. Grip strength and pad level where the two 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.920 notes I kept going back to. Remember great gains from 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.800 U dub coming out a couple of years ago. Now 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.360 with a Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams, Remember how 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.800 he just won rep after rep at the Senior Bowl 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:50.120 with those two things. Snatch and pull that guy down 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.640 to the ground. Lot of reps and stills Nebraska tape 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.959 where he's doing something similar. Snatch him, get your eyes 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.320 in the ball carrier, disengaged, make the play defensive lineman 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.719 Jordan Williams from Virginia Tech via Clemson. You want to 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.360 talk about a one gap penetrator guy that he was 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.840 there in college. He was so quick, such initial burst 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.599 off the line, that first step man. It created a 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.240 lot of urgency and they used that quickness a lot 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.840 with games up up front with him as the looper 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.280 working off that pick from the nose. Tackle eleven games 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.480 last year, twenty eight tackles, three for loss, one and 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.959 a half sacks. Before that, he was at Clemson and 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.000 had fifty five tackles, nine and a half tackles for lost, 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.560 four sacks, two pass breakups, and a forced fumble last year. 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.240 Quarterback pressures and Running game twenty five QB pressures twenty 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.560 one run stops. Well rounded game for Jordan Williams. Another 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.200 defensive lineman, Owen Carney out of Illinois, local Miami product 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.240 down here attended Miami Central High School. Six ft three 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.959 to sixty five, forty four tackles last year seven and 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.800 a half for lost, six sacks. He had nineteen tackles 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.760 for loss in fourteen and a half sacks and five 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.400 seasons for the line. I uh, let's see thirty seven 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:57.040 pressures seventeen run stops and uh last season career pressures 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.080 on one thousand reps, he was in the ballpark of 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.960 a ten percent pressu or rate. Basically every single year 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.480 power player who really bullied his way into a lot 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.800 of production, used every bit of that two hundred and 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.280 sixty five pounds to lean on guys and kind of 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.600 reset that pocket. And now a linebacker guy from Miami 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.760 as well, Miami Southbridge High School product DeAndre Johnson, who 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.560 played at Miami via Tennessee, was a transfer. Twenty six tackles, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.520 eight and a half for a loss and four and 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.679 a half sacks in his blowing season with the Hurricanes 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.680 last year. Before that four years at Tennessee where he 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.120 had ten sacks. He was part of the local Miami 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.320 players workout here. Twenty five pressures last year on two 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.040 hundred and sixty three pass rush reps, also made eight 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.240 teen run stops. The length stands out first and foremost thought. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.560 He showed active hands the ability to kind of redirect 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.760 as a pass rusher. Again, always a cool story when 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.679 a local kid comes home and the defensive backfield cornerback 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.760 cater Caho Cohu from Texas and m Commerce did some returning. 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.880 In addition to his cornerback duties four four five forty 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.600 track team there twenty four total tackles too, for lost 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.280 six pass breakups, had an eight point six rass relative 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:03.160 athletics score hard exceptional explosive metrics in the forty had 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.080 a thirty eight and a half inch vert ten ten 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.040 broad but also threw up nineteen reps on the bench press, 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.559 and you'll see that strength, and you'll hear Emery talk 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.480 about him here in just a moment. But the limited 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.080 tape I saw showed some ball skills, so much so 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.240 that he even played some wide receiver for them last year. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.360 The way he changes directions and transitions from back pedal 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.880 to coming back down the stem that really stood out 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.480 in his game. Too impressive. Safety out of Oregon Rone 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:29.000 McKinley the third eleven career picks, six last season, seventy 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.160 seven tackles in a fourth fumble last year, just seventeen 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.720 of twenty nine passes completed on him in coverage. That's 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.720 fifty eight point six percent. Also just two hundred nine 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.400 yards on five hundred and thirty three coverage snaps, and 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.720 an NFL pass A rating of sixty four point four. 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.840 He also had fourteen run stops coming from depth, making 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.000 those plays down around the line. Last year, they used 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.520 him on pass rush reps twenty five times, where he 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.040 had to his entire career before that, and he picked 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.960 up six QB pressures, including a hit on the quarterback. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.560 All about instincts from McKinley. Studious player who could anticipate 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.880 and make is based on recognition of the route concept 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.680 and play design to put himself in position to make 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.640 enough plays. And cornerback Elijah Hamilton from Louisiana Tech via 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:12.240 Vanderbilt was a transfer for one year. Six ft two 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.360 had four pass breakups in his career, allowed just ten 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.080 of twenty two completions last season for a hundred and 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.520 sixty three yards on a hundred and fifteen coverage snaps. 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.320 Another athletic tester here eight seven two r A A s 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:27.160 eighty five percentile or better and height weight bench vert 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.200 or height weight bench and vertical I put bench twice 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.720 for some reason. Big, big defensive back with a corner 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.760 and safety experience competed his butt off at the catch 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.040 point and showed a real natural ability to rake the 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.640 hands and separate the receiver from the football. At that 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.520 catch point, big hitter and to boot show the ability 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.760 to come from that depth and cut down ball carriers 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.840 around the line of scrimmage. Finally, special teams punner Tommy 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:53.120 Heatherly Florida International University, Londar local product forty six point 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.680 four yards per put, four point eight in his career. 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.760 Good stuff. They're fun class. Can't get can't wait to 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.280 get a chance to watch these guys at rookie mini 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.680 camp and O t s and of course in training camp. 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.440 Let's go ahead and take our first break here and 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.080 come back with my guest today, the great Emery Hunt 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.680 from CBS Sports HQ Draft Time Podcast Travis Wingfield, brought 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:18.480 to you by Auto Nation and joining me now on 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.560 the Drivetime podcast once again. Is the owner of the 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.680 football game plan. He does color commentary, and he's in 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.320 studio analysts analyst, I should say, for CBS Sports HQ, 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.560 anywhere there's a football game being played, you can find him. 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:35.160 He's the czar of the playbook himself. Emery Hunt, Emory, 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.440 Welcome back in Man. Glad to be here man, always 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.800 the pleasure to talk some ball. I love these podcasts 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.760 because you do a good job of educating us on 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.760 players that maybe we're not as familiar with throughout the 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.760 course of the college football season. I have a joke 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.040 in here about a college I made up about you 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.520 probably have tape on that college and you do a 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.080 way of of getting us information on these players, like 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.040 a guy we're gonna talk about later on from Texas 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.080 and m Commerce. But before we get to that, I 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.280 want to ask you, man, how how's the draft for you? 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.080 You know, I I teach you about that that college 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.080 it was Alaska Anchorage, ukon Sidlelit campus. I'm sure you 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.240 have tape on them. Uh. Emery was the one to 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:11.840 get the scouting report on that guy, of course. But 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:13.679 before we do that, how does it feel to be 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.399 on the other side of the draft to know that 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.639 it's in the rear view mirror right now? You know 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.320 it's It's good because you put a lot of work 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.840 into the draft. I had a draft I will still 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.000 do have the Draft Guide. It's the largest draft guide 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.639 and Draft guard history. It's over a thousand individual prospects 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.920 scouting reports. No one has that. So for me, when 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.520 guys were flying off the board, it was easy for 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.560 me just to you know, pull up where they what 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.680 I had on them, or even when guys are starting 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.080 to quickly sign undraft the rookie free agents, you still 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.879 have a lot of you know, grades and reports on 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.920 these guys. So for me, it's fun just to see 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.480 the work that you put in and see it on 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.160 the outside of the other side of it. Um. But 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.320 you know, for me, my draft brads don't come out 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.040 until after rookie Minicamp because I count the undrafted rookie 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.680 free agents as a part of the draft class because 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.520 that's that's a vital part some teams strategy or or 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.919 you know, geared towards that way. So once I know 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.399 what these trial guys who made it who didn't, and 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.600 the undrafted rookies are locked in, then I throw up 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.399 my draft grades because you gotta really evaluate the entire 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.000 class as opposed to guys who just got selected. I'll 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:16.399 be sure I'll drop a link on that when it 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.240 comes out, because you know, I think the draft grade 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.520 community has become one of hot takes, much like a 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:23.159 lot of our industry here, Emery, that's what we love 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.199 having someone like you on that can get into the 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.000 depths of this and really give us a solid sound 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.040 reasoning on why you believe the things that you do. 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.840 And before we get to the U d f A class, 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.439 let's talk a little bit of draft here, because the 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:35.800 Dolphins did have four picks and it began at pick 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.240 number one oh two with Channing Tindall out of Georgia. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.240 Which pick between Tendaal, eric A Zukama, Skylar Thompson a 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.360 camera good out of cow which pick made you most 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.800 excited here for the Miami Dolphins. You know, the Tendell 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.240 pick was was solid because it's someone that's he's a 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.959 point and shoot linebacker. When you when you were watching Georgia, 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:59.160 you just gotta kind of game away impressed with Tendoll's explosiveness, acceleration. Um, 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.679 he's a seeking distr roy players zone coverage a little bit, 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.680 you know, um, work in progress. But for the most part, 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.439
