Speaker 1: Draft show this year. Is always you know you're gonna
Speaker 1: find ways here with us too. We always talk about this,
Speaker 1: you know, investigate, educate, That's that's our words. We we
Speaker 1: like the interaction with the fans. We like the back
Speaker 1: and forth. We like to answer questions. Dane's great on Twitter,
Speaker 1: DP Brugler, He'll answer questions for you all day about
Speaker 1: the draft. Just be polite to him. You know you're
Speaker 1: getting a fight with him. Be polite in the fat
Speaker 1: in the fight. You know, that's what we do here.
Speaker 1: There's an argument, there's discussion, but be polite about it.
Speaker 1: David Hellman will answer questions too, absolutely, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to get into though this, like a say, a
Speaker 1: couple of different ways you can get a hold of
Speaker 1: us here at the Draft Show. Is a way that
Speaker 1: we want because we do something here. It was started
Speaker 1: many years ago with Twitter on the twenty. I want
Speaker 1: to maintain that. I want to keep that going. I
Speaker 1: want to be able to have that interaction. I wanted times,
Speaker 1: various times to be able to answer questions during the show.
Speaker 1: You know, if Dave sees one that pops up at
Speaker 1: his account or at the at the draft show. We
Speaker 1: want to get to those questions. We want to answer questions.
Speaker 1: We want to make sure you guys understand, you know
Speaker 1: what's going on here. You know, you guys have a
Speaker 1: lot of great opinions out there as well, and we
Speaker 1: appreciate those opinions. Again, well, we'll take all those questions.
Speaker 1: Another way too, is through the phone lines. I'll call
Speaker 1: for some you know, I'll call for some calls. Maybe
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. We'll get that done.
Speaker 1: Two one four eight seven two twenty one h two.
Speaker 1: You'll see that on your screen. Feel free to be
Speaker 1: a part of that again. Kent Garrison will be answering
Speaker 1: the phones and he will get you on the air.
Speaker 1: Make sure again you have your radio down on all
Speaker 1: those things so we can get to your question. As always,
Speaker 1: we're always doing well. Everybody's here, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of a staple here at the Draft Show. If
Speaker 1: you get on the air, get your question. Appreciate everybody
Speaker 1: asking how we're doing, but we are fine, So we'll
Speaker 1: keep that. That's one of the simple little ground rules
Speaker 1: I have on this show. And as long as we
Speaker 1: maintain that, we'll get through a lot of calls and
Speaker 1: questions and things like that the Draft Show. Just to
Speaker 1: let you give an idea, we're a week earlier last
Speaker 1: year we were in the playoffs. I think we're two
Speaker 1: or three year wait, we're real early here, and so
Speaker 1: Dane's done a lot of this work here. Dave and
Speaker 1: I are trying to catch up, but we'll get there.
Speaker 1: We'll eventually, you know, be up to speed on a
Speaker 1: lot of these guys. So kind of keep that in
Speaker 1: mind if you have a question. Dane, We'll probably be
Speaker 1: able to handle stuff early here as we get into
Speaker 1: some of these draft shows, and we will also have
Speaker 1: the opportunity this will be our normal time. Eleven am
Speaker 1: on Thursdays will be our normal time. We're gonna do
Speaker 1: some stuff like we always do at a at the Combine,
Speaker 1: and we're also going to have at the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 1: We've got the Senior Bowl coming up here at the
Speaker 1: end of the month a couple of weeks, a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, so like the twenty third of January, plan
Speaker 1: on once again, whole crew being there. We're gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: do shows from the from the Senior Bowl every day.
Speaker 1: Then we'll do shows from the Combine. But again, this
Speaker 1: is very important to us, and we take a lot
Speaker 1: of pride in our show here and we want to
Speaker 1: make sure it is for you the fan out there.
Speaker 1: That's important to us. So again, a couple of different
Speaker 1: ways that we can do that. Okay. Big news of
Speaker 1: the day from last night had a couple of quarterbacks
Speaker 1: that declared for the NFL Draft, Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold,
Speaker 1: both UCLA and USC. Rosen uh did not play in
Speaker 1: the Bowl game. He was waiting for the concussions he had.
Speaker 1: Concussion he suffered against Utah, I believe on November third
Speaker 1: was something that he was having to deal with. So,
Speaker 1: you know, we look at now, guys, the quarterbacks, and
Speaker 1: here we are, we're looking at a team here, the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: You know, some people say, hey, go get a quarterback,
Speaker 1: don't get a quarterback. I'm not saying they're gonna go
Speaker 1: get one of these guys. But you know, as we
Speaker 1: get to this, when we get to all these quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: now with with that, you know, with Darnell and then
Speaker 1: again with with Rose and both. Then you add in
Speaker 1: Josh Allen for Josh Allen from Wyoming, Baker Mayfield as well,
Speaker 1: and we're waiting on Lamar's decision. Yeah, right on him
Speaker 1: initially declared. Yet there's always a chance he'd go back,
Speaker 1: but he hasn't told January fifteenth to make that decision.
Speaker 1: Early thoughts though on this is and I want to
Speaker 1: ask you guys, are the five quarterbacks gonna dominate this
Speaker 1: draft and this draft discussion? Oh? Yeah, always, quarterbacks always do.
Speaker 1: If there's a good quarterback, I mean think back to
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Yeah, Wins and Goff and Paxton Lynch can't
Speaker 1: forget about him. Yeah, if there's several and especially there's
Speaker 1: a few quarterback and eighty teams at the top of
Speaker 1: the draft and these you know I feel, I mean,
Speaker 1: all right, you can have your opinion on him, and
Speaker 1: you can tell each y yeah we need to figure
Speaker 1: that out. And that's fine. But they're prototypicals, you know,
Speaker 1: big arm tall quarterbacks like They're gonna dominate the conversation.
Speaker 1: And I would imagine one or both of them are
Speaker 1: gonna be top five picks, right. Like, I know it's early,
Speaker 1: but I think good chance. We're looking at quarterbacks going
Speaker 1: one two. Yeah, with the Browns, the Browns are fascinating
Speaker 1: because they have the first pick in the fourth pick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they also have two picks. It's all gonna be. The
Speaker 1: Browns are gonna be a lot of fun to watch,
Speaker 1: especially with John Dorsey a scouting part. He's gonna eager
Speaker 1: to see what he does in Cleveland. Um, but you
Speaker 1: also the Giants at two, you have the Broncos at five,
Speaker 1: you have the Jets sitting there in the top ten.
Speaker 1: All these teams could use quarterbacks quarterbacks and so yeah,
Speaker 1: with darn Old and Rosen Listen, there's no consensus quarterback
Speaker 1: top quarterback this year. You can poke holes on all
Speaker 1: of them, pros and cons with each one of them.
Speaker 1: It's going to be interesting the quarterback debate, which like
Speaker 1: every year, we're gonna tear them down, you know, throw
Speaker 1: them up, build them back up. Yeah, it's it's just
Speaker 1: gonna be. That's just part of the process us and
Speaker 1: so with and it won't be hard with either of
Speaker 1: these guys. There's plenty of negatives that you can look to,
Speaker 1: but there's plenty of positives as well, And so I
Speaker 1: think we remember these are you know, Sam Donald's twenty
Speaker 1: years old, right, It doesn't throw a lot of make
Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers. Yeah he does, but you know
Speaker 1: he's a red shirt sophomore. I can count on one
Speaker 1: hand the number of red shirt sophomore quarterbacks who had
Speaker 1: declared earlier and gone in the first round. It doesn't
Speaker 1: happen very often. Yeah, So you know, Johnny Manzil is
Speaker 1: one example on one end of the spectrum. Jamis Winston
Speaker 1: the other end of the spectrum. So where will Sam
Speaker 1: Donald land? It'll be interesting to see. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the quarterbacks, no doubt, will command much of the
Speaker 1: discussion this year. Is there a guy like I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you something though you mentioned Jackson? How
Speaker 1: does he fit in the NFL? Dave? I granted I
Speaker 1: haven't sat down and really dissected the tape, but I've
Speaker 1: watched enough of him out. Oh, I know, you know
Speaker 1: the player he's I mean, I'm giving him every opportunity
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback. He's a quarterback. I mean personally,
Speaker 1: I don't like, I don't buy this crap that he's
Speaker 1: a you know, wide receiver or whatever. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a great pro quarterback, but he's a quarterback.
Speaker 1: Could he be the wild card in this whole thing?
Speaker 1: Or will it be Baker Mayfield? Um? I think they
Speaker 1: both are. I mean, I think there are multiple wild
Speaker 1: cards at quarterback. With Baker, you know, he's taught out
Speaker 1: the kid at Wyoming. He seems like the one guy
Speaker 1: that everybody's kind of bashing on right now because I
Speaker 1: think everybody's wants to find the next Carson Wentz so bad.
Speaker 1: It's just too it's too obvious that that's what they
Speaker 1: want him to be. And maybe he is, but he
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't have the resume to back it up. No,
Speaker 1: and well, and Carson Wentz really didn't have the resume
Speaker 1: either as a one and a half year starter at
Speaker 1: FCS school. And so, you know, it's a lot of
Speaker 1: people make a lot of a lot of excuses for
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. To me, the way I describe it is,
Speaker 1: he's scouting katnip Okay. He's got the elite arm, he's
Speaker 1: got the elite size, and he's an elite athlete, high
Speaker 1: character guy, you know what you're getting all in all
Speaker 1: those areas, but he's undeveloped in several critical areas that
Speaker 1: it takes to play the quarterback position in the NFL,
Speaker 1: from a decision making perspective, accuracy, touch, tempo on us throws,
Speaker 1: just the way he can manage the pocket, his pocket presence.
Speaker 1: So there's just a lot of areas where he's just
Speaker 1: not ready. He's undeveloped, and it's a fascinating journey that
Speaker 1: he's taken, you know, from going unrecruited to be the
Speaker 1: JUCO level to Wyoming giving him a shot and then
Speaker 1: just kind of blowing up. And then with Baker Mayfield,
Speaker 1: you have a guy who, if he was two inches taller,
Speaker 1: I think we'd be talking about him as a top
Speaker 1: ten pick. But because he's gonna be six foot maybe
Speaker 1: six foot and a half, that's a that's a big
Speaker 1: part of the discussion with NFL teams. And then back
Speaker 1: to the original guy we talked about with Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to one person in the NFL who
Speaker 1: says he's a wide receiver all Ryeah. I think God,
Speaker 1: I think that just one person, a couple of people
Speaker 1: said that, and all of a sudden, the outrage against
Speaker 1: it kind of fueled the discussion. But to me, Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: he's a quarterback. The bigger question will be does he
Speaker 1: does he come out or not? Because he's never in
Speaker 1: a season thrown for over sixty percent completions. The last
Speaker 1: three years he's combined for six hundred and fifty carries.
Speaker 1: Can you really Michael Vick? He's a right handed version
Speaker 1: of Michael Vick. But again, that's some lofty praise considering
Speaker 1: Michaels he had. But just talking to old ball scout here,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna be the easy comparisons. Okay, but
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Though, Michael Vick, when you watched
Speaker 1: him play at Virginia Tech, was not an accurate quarterback,
Speaker 1: right you know? Yeah? I saw him plays with his feed.
Speaker 1: You can get around that. If you're a threat to
Speaker 1: run for a thousand yards in the season, like you
Speaker 1: can make up for Well, I'm for the kid. I
Speaker 1: really am for the kid. I hope that sounds I
Speaker 1: hope he declares. I mean, I'm sure there's like Louisville
Speaker 1: fans listening to this who disagree, But that just makes
Speaker 1: this whole draft process that much more fascinating because he'll
Speaker 1: be one of the two or three most polarizing prospects
Speaker 1: in this draft if he does come out. And is
Speaker 1: he going to be the one though that when you
Speaker 1: watch his tape, you're gonna fall in love with him
Speaker 1: the most of all these quarterbacks. I don't think so,
Speaker 1: because this is the big playability. But every time, okay,
Speaker 1: like I see this on Twitter a lot where people
Speaker 1: post videos and say look at Lamar Jackson. Here, look
Speaker 1: at and almost every time it's him running the ball.
Speaker 1: And that's great. I mean, I'm not discounting what he
Speaker 1: can do as an athlete and with his legs, but
Speaker 1: it's still the quarterback positions about putting the ball in
Speaker 1: the air, and Lamar Jackson can do that. He has
Speaker 1: a big time arm, he can make some downfield throws,
Speaker 1: but he's still not the most accurate quarterback with his feel,
Speaker 1: with his placement. So there are question marks to me.
Speaker 1: I think when you look at you know, this is
Speaker 1: the time of year where the underclassman again, they have
Speaker 1: until January fifteenth to make a decision. This is the
Speaker 1: time of the year, of the calendar where we're hearing
Speaker 1: all these decisions. We also recently found out the draft order. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when you look at it, you look ahead and
Speaker 1: run through that, run through the top five, the drip. Oh,
Speaker 1: you can run through. Well, excuse an idea. Cowboys are
Speaker 1: picking nineteenth, okay, and I always looking see, okay, who's
Speaker 1: ahead of him and who's behind him? Seattle is ahead
Speaker 1: of you in this drafting word. I got this question
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah. And the people that want to who
Speaker 1: have been talking about the draft order, strength of schedule? Schedule,
Speaker 1: what is the tiebreaker for teams with the same record
Speaker 1: head to head has nothing to do with it, right,
Speaker 1: headhead has nothing to You're absolutely right about this, and
Speaker 1: you've got some teams that are gonna have to flip.
Speaker 1: I mean gonna have to flip from So I believe
Speaker 1: the Oakland pick at nine in the forty nine ers
Speaker 1: and the Packers and Redskins thirteen and fourteen. Because the
Speaker 1: first time breaker strength of schedule. Then it goes to
Speaker 1: conference record if they're in the same or division record
Speaker 1: if the in the same division, and then conference record
Speaker 1: if in the same conference. If they're still tied. After that,
Speaker 1: then it goes to a coin flip. So we have
Speaker 1: we've got, yeah, we've got two teams. We have four
Speaker 1: teams that are gonna have to flip for spots. Right,
Speaker 1: but in just looking at the top twenty order of
Speaker 1: the non playoff teams, we keep them with the quarterback discussion,
Speaker 1: you look at the Cardinals sitting there at fifteene. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know that's mid of mid first round. Okay, let's say,
Speaker 1: just for argument sakes, that quarterbacks go one, two, Arnold
Speaker 1: Rosen whatever order. And then you have some interesting, you
Speaker 1: know teams with the Broncos, with the Jets, you know,
Speaker 1: could the Dolphins, you don't know what's going on, Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: And then the Cardinals sitting there at fifteen. How these
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the order they go in, I don't think. I
Speaker 1: don't think as much as we talked about Pat Malomes
Speaker 1: last year, how many times do we talk about him
Speaker 1: going top ten? Not until much later in the process
Speaker 1: at the very least. Right, So, you know, it's going
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see how these the quarterback dominoes
Speaker 1: fall in the top half a round one. And that's well,
Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating because I see I you know,
Speaker 1: Darnold and Rosen I think could create a free for
Speaker 1: all in the top ten among the teams up there
Speaker 1: that need quarterbacks, because there's at least like four. But
Speaker 1: then the Cowboys are really interesting lead positioned in my opinion,
Speaker 1: because now you're talking about Mayfield and maybe Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. Obviously I have no idea on January
Speaker 1: fourth how that all plays out, but those guys start
Speaker 1: to drop towards the back end of the first round.
Speaker 1: Maybe the Cowboys benefit from their position because of that.
Speaker 1: We talked about that with the Shaun Watt last year. Right,
Speaker 1: I mean first round grade you get right now on
Speaker 1: your board? Do you know off the top of your head, No,
Speaker 1: it's right. I A rough guess would be about fifteen
Speaker 1: right now. See see that's where that's where you know
Speaker 1: picking nineteen. Yeah, you're right on the cusp right of
Speaker 1: getting a first round player, right, talked about that before
Speaker 1: And to Dave's point about the quarterbacks, Sam Donald coming
Speaker 1: out into this draft class helps the Cowboys because it's
Speaker 1: just gonna push another, hopefully another good player to know. Sure,
Speaker 1: so you know, who knows what Lamar Jackson could if
Speaker 1: he goes somewhere in the top eighteen picks, it could
Speaker 1: be a similar type of scenario. So the more quarterbacks
Speaker 1: the better, the more of these underclassmen they come out.
Speaker 1: Arden Key from LSU, right, you both, both of you
Speaker 1: guys know very well. Yeah, he declared he could go
Speaker 1: top fifteen player that might not be on the Cowboys
Speaker 1: radars because of you know, the Randy Gregory wounds are
Speaker 1: so fresh. Oh that's get ready for that comparison, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: very comparison. Well, we're gonna spend more time on arden
Speaker 1: Key than you know, maybe any other player in this draft,
Speaker 1: trying to figure him out, right, both on and off
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, but again him coming out. You know
Speaker 1: a lot of Alabama players have yet to announce whether
Speaker 1: they'll come out. So the more declarations the better for
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, more chance for a better player to be
Speaker 1: there at nineteen. Just kind of run through a couple
Speaker 1: more of those. Orlando Brown, Oklahoma, and he didn't declare it,
Speaker 1: did he? He He did declare? Okay, Yeah, I thought that
Speaker 1: was last night recently. Carry on Johnson Auburn. I love him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a top five back. Ten. See, now there is
Speaker 1: there a guy how many how many running backs? See
Speaker 1: this is where this is going to get interesting too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because how many running backs are going to go in
Speaker 1: the top ten? I think only one? I'd be sure
Speaker 1: you think Barkley's only Barkley's the only one. I'd be surprised.
Speaker 1: As much as I like Dice, I think he's more
Speaker 1: of a solid first rounder, a guy that you look
Speaker 1: at in the teams. He might be there in the twenties, um,
Speaker 1: and maybe that'll change. But right now where we sit
Speaker 1: early January, I think sae Quon Berkeley's the only back
Speaker 1: that'll go top ten. And you know, Jeff having On
Speaker 1: on Trust to Tape podcast, we've evaded who's the best
Speaker 1: running back prospect of the last three four years? Right?
Speaker 1: He went with Berkeley, I went with Zeke. That's going
Speaker 1: to be a fascinating discussion we can get into at
Speaker 1: some point. Absolutely, But Kari said top five potentially running background,
Speaker 1: I think so. I think somewhere in the top fifty. Yeah. See,
Speaker 1: he's a really I love him. Christian Kirk was another
Speaker 1: one wide receiver Texas and m there's a lot of
Speaker 1: buzz among Cowboy fans. We've already we've already got ourselves
Speaker 1: a nice little short list of players that Cowboys fans
Speaker 1: are in love with. Right. Yeah, and I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what he talked about him a little bit. The toughest
Speaker 1: thing with him is can you play on the outside
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Oh? I think he can because he
Speaker 1: at A and M he was a slot only player.
Speaker 1: Yeah and so, And I'm not saying he can't. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying we have a separation at speed well against
Speaker 1: nickel defender, sure, but when he plays press on the outside,
Speaker 1: it might be a little a little more difficult. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying he can't. I'm just saying he's untested in
Speaker 1: that area. So that's something that will to keep it
Speaker 1: keep tabs on. But no, I love Christian Kirk. He's
Speaker 1: my number two wide receiver behind Kelvin Ridley. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I think Kirk. I think he's a top forty player.
Speaker 1: About DJ Moore than loved oh Man, Tell me about
Speaker 1: DJ Moore a bit, Dave watch him? Yeah, tell me
Speaker 1: about DJ Moore. Uh, he's Maryland wide receiver. Sorry I
Speaker 1: need to say the school when I do this, but
Speaker 1: five zero five zero nine two like he's he's not
Speaker 1: the biggest guy, but he's tough as nails and for
Speaker 1: as I don't want to say undersize, but he's not
Speaker 1: the biggest receiver. He's got some tall stick but well,
Speaker 1: but he's he's got these fantastic hands, like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know how big they are. Then, you know, we
Speaker 1: haven't gotten into that part of the draft process. But
Speaker 1: like he's snatching everything out here out here down low. Uh,
Speaker 1: Dave is making fun of my our scout numbers five
Speaker 1: nine six five nine six to fifteen four five five
Speaker 1: gotta be running faster than that. Don't Philadelphia, Pa. He
Speaker 1: is from Philadelphia. Here you go, David. Uh. He's impressive, man, Like,
Speaker 1: he's just he's hands best trade. There's so much to
Speaker 1: like about him. His hands are really impressive, he I wrote,
Speaker 1: I took notes, Brian. I know you don't like he
Speaker 1: glides when he runs, like he just looks so smooth.
Speaker 1: His routes look good. He bounces off tacklers like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times just on the We
Speaker 1: didn't even It's not like we watched all of his games.
Speaker 1: We watched a twenty minute cut up. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: like four or five times the safety had a great
Speaker 1: angle on him and put a lick on him, and
Speaker 1: he just kind of just kept going. If you're not
Speaker 1: a tall receiver, a big receiver, you better have really
Speaker 1: good hands or be a really good after the catch target,
Speaker 1: and I think he's both. I mean, I think as
Speaker 1: bad as Maryland was on offense this year, or a
Speaker 1: streaky and inconsistent play. He said, a Maryland record for
Speaker 1: catches in a season, and he's only the third Maryland
Speaker 1: receiver to ever go over a thousand yards. So this
Speaker 1: is a player I've been talking up all fall, and
Speaker 1: finally I'm glad he's getting more glad. I brought him
Speaker 1: up on the first day of the draft show. He's
Speaker 1: a date two player I was gonna so I was,
Speaker 1: I'm not good at that. Like what you're giving him
Speaker 1: a round two grade? Round three grade? Probably? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we got a these. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a log gym of receivers in the second round.
Speaker 1: And so that's that's music to my ears, Dane. Because
Speaker 1: I'm stuck him in the first that's fine, but great,
Speaker 1: and we'll get more into it. Obviously, we'll have a
Speaker 1: two dozen guys to talk about. But the more I
Speaker 1: just think rounds two and three is such a sweet
Speaker 1: spot for wide receivers, Like I think about Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think about Jarvis Landry, I think about Juju Smith Schuster, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't need to spend a nineteenth overall pick
Speaker 1: to get a really badass receiver, which so I like
Speaker 1: to hear. Really, it's nice though if you get he's
Speaker 1: there at nineteen. I'm not, and that's fine. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying they absolutely shouldn't do it, but I just like
Speaker 1: knowing that there's talent in that sweet Okay, real quick,
Speaker 1: before we go to break, take our first break. I've
Speaker 1: changed my approach on the really tall receiver. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: I've I've I've walked that, I've walked that plank, and
Speaker 1: I've fallen into the ocean media day. But you know what,
Speaker 1: and I keep falling into the ocean and I keep
Speaker 1: getting eaten by the sharks. I'm just telling you, though, Newman,
Speaker 1: new Year, I'm looking at these shorter receivers that are
Speaker 1: outstanding route runners. I agree with it. Have the separation.
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking out for the Dallas Cowboys. I'm
Speaker 1: just talking about in life in general. I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I sincerely do, and I'm still hurting from Lakwan Treadwell
Speaker 1: two years later, like it hasn't it hasn't been greats
Speaker 1: this year, it hasn't been great And a big part
Speaker 1: of that's mental and you know a lot goes into it.
Speaker 1: But no, I agree. I mean, I think a big
Speaker 1: an example of that this year is going to be
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton and that, well, that's where I want to
Speaker 1: see that. That's where I'm not walking down. That's like,
Speaker 1: let's see if the show's motto is to investigate, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is, you can't and I worry. I'm
Speaker 1: already worried. We just set his name for the first time.
Speaker 1: But like you're gonna Joey Bosa this poor guy. I'm
Speaker 1: not Joey Boson anybody where You're just like everybody's gonna
Speaker 1: be like Courtland Sutton is trash. Like hey, let me
Speaker 1: tell you what the Draft show fandom. I feel you guys,
Speaker 1: I feel his kids, not trash. I'm just saying, though,
Speaker 1: as I'm looking at receivers, give me the guy that's
Speaker 1: the route runner right and can separate and could catch
Speaker 1: the football. The last thing I'll say about this is
Speaker 1: the biggest Yeah, well just kind of a just a
Speaker 1: period on the sentence. When you go to the NFL,
Speaker 1: they're all great athletes, Okay. The thing that separates, and
Speaker 1: this is true for almost every position, which separates the
Speaker 1: good from the great and the great from the superior,
Speaker 1: is the technical skill. And that's exactly what you're talking
Speaker 1: about with guys that create their own separation, the route runners.
Speaker 1: It's true with offensive lineman, defensive lineman, every position, wide
Speaker 1: receivers included. The guys that have that technical skill, which
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley absolutely has no doubt, that's what separates him.
Speaker 1: And that's what Courtland Sutton doesn't have right now. And
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that he won't a lot of that screen.
Speaker 1: And that's that's the thing is he's the offense at SMU,
Speaker 1: and the offense he goes to in the NFL, you
Speaker 1: might as well ask him to, you know, learn Chinese.
Speaker 1: It's a huge gap there and so maybe he'll learn
Speaker 1: it as a rookie. Maybe in year two he'll blow up.
Speaker 1: But it's just there's there's a big if there because
Speaker 1: of the development that's required, and that's what makes Courtland
Speaker 1: Sutton such a tough player to evalue. Because again the
Speaker 1: skill set, he's like a power forward out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot to like about him, but the technical
Speaker 1: skill just not there yet. Yeah, I tell you, I'm
Speaker 1: glad to hear you say all that. Okay, boy, that
Speaker 1: was a quick twenty minutes or is wow? Okay? When
Speaker 1: we return, we're gonna get into some twitter on the

Speaker 1: those long hours at that you're watching tape and all that.
Speaker 1: You don't want to sit there and have that problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bunching Wedging you Actually, I'm wearing their socks right now,
Speaker 1: do too? G also got my socks on as well.
Speaker 1: Whether you get Dane Brugler hooked up with some town
Speaker 1: John God call. Okay, this is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: parts of the show. It is Twitter on the Twitter.
Speaker 1: Thank you ed Ka Hill for creating a show so
Speaker 1: many years ago. David Hellman, what do you got? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to start this off as broadly as possible.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's I feel like that's the best
Speaker 1: way to do this. You know, and got so and
Speaker 1: I figured we can kind of go around. It doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be a uniform answer. Playmaker wants to know
Speaker 1: what are the top three needs for the Cowboys in
Speaker 1: this draft going in to twenty eighteen? Can I throw
Speaker 1: something out Dane Burgership did something for Dallas Morning News
Speaker 1: where he had a he had a linebacker, a receiver,
Speaker 1: a safety, a nose tackle, and another linebacker. Those names
Speaker 1: would be Roquan Smith, Calvin Ridley, Rodney Harrison, Ronnie give
Speaker 1: me Ronnie Harrison. I can't remember ronning Ronnie Harrison for
Speaker 1: safety from Alabama. The Ron Payne nose tackle Alabama, and
Speaker 1: then Rashaun Evans linebacker Alabama. So you're kind of thinking
Speaker 1: down the lines of they need a linebacker at this place. Well,
Speaker 1: and the focus of that piece was prospects to look
Speaker 1: for in the National title game Alabama and Georgia. UM,
Speaker 1: plenty of first rounders, plenty of future pros to watch
Speaker 1: for in that game. It's hard to say because we
Speaker 1: you know, there's several steps need to be taken before
Speaker 1: we get to the draft, and right, we got a
Speaker 1: long way, Yeah we got yeah, So a lot could change,
Speaker 1: but initially, initially I really want them to see this
Speaker 1: team upgrade the wide receiver corps. That's me UM. I
Speaker 1: think with Anthony Hitchens likely moving on in free agency,
Speaker 1: linebacker and then you know, a safety, something to shower
Speaker 1: up that secondary to really I feel you have a
Speaker 1: lot of pieces, but I don't know, I just too
Speaker 1: many moving parts in that secondary. Maybe adding an impact
Speaker 1: safety could help stabilize the defensive backfield. Yeah, and that
Speaker 1: would be a Harrison would be that guy, where do
Speaker 1: you fall on on d tackle? That's and I'll package
Speaker 1: this in with another question from a guy Showtime says,
Speaker 1: you know, why why don't the Cowboys try harder to
Speaker 1: address needs in the middle of the defensive line? And
Speaker 1: it makes me think back to twenty thirteen, the famous
Speaker 1: Sharif Floyd. Yeah then yeah, um, just well they tried
Speaker 1: to help you here with the name with the Ron Payne. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, And and the way I'm looking you know
Speaker 1: ya from Washington. Oh my gosh, he's tough to figure
Speaker 1: out because this is he gonna get the Danny Shelton comparison.
Speaker 1: The thing is, he's so much more talented than Danny.
Speaker 1: He's so much better athlete. And Shelton was like the
Speaker 1: twelfth overall pick, That's what I'm saying. And so with ya.
Speaker 1: He at three hundred and forty pounds, the way he
Speaker 1: moves and the power is rare, It's it's unbelievable, and
Speaker 1: he's that rare guy that can take on double teams
Speaker 1: and beat double teams. And what's the Stanford game right? Well,
Speaker 1: and at Stanford game, the very next play, he's chasing
Speaker 1: down a ball carrier at the sideline. Yeah, exactly has that.
Speaker 1: But the discipline, the technique, there's you know, the motor.
Speaker 1: Those are all kind of iffy areas with him for
Speaker 1: me um and again go to h You know Dave's
Speaker 1: point about the nose tackle, the one technique is that
Speaker 1: a position that this team would invest in with a
Speaker 1: top twenty pick. It's not a sexy position, but adding
Speaker 1: an impact player, whether it's Veya from Washington on Pain
Speaker 1: from Alabama, the ripple effect that the addition of a
Speaker 1: player like that will help the defensive ends, It'll help
Speaker 1: the linebackers. You could have Malie Collins stay at the
Speaker 1: three technique, you could you could use David Irving as
Speaker 1: a mismash weapon up and down the defensive line. So
Speaker 1: having that lynchpin then anchor at nose tackle really could
Speaker 1: make a difference. The question is would they do that
Speaker 1: in the first round? See, that's what That's what I
Speaker 1: would worry and it would be a hell of a pick.
Speaker 1: Are we are we being too dismissive to say that
Speaker 1: they definitely won't do that. That's kind of it is.
Speaker 1: But we're just we're going on draft history. If I would,
Speaker 1: if Dane and I we were all sitting in another
Speaker 1: war room and we were talking about what the Cowboys
Speaker 1: were doing, and we would say put that Vay as
Speaker 1: a good looking player for Dallas, and somebody would chime in,
Speaker 1: like Dane would go, brought us say, have not taken
Speaker 1: a one technique? They've baba bla. I mean, that's that's history.
Speaker 1: You're right, And I saw this counter argument on Twitter
Speaker 1: yesterday and I agree with you for the record, But
Speaker 1: just playing Devil's advocate and then spend first round picks
Speaker 1: on alignment either and no, and that's true times in
Speaker 1: five years. What does Maurice due for you. I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan. Yeah, but Michigan defensive tackle probably a three right,
Speaker 1: say he played more of the nose at Michigan, but
Speaker 1: he is a definitely three. I mean he's he's like
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty five, two hundred ninety pounds. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's so quick, so explosive. Ma rese Hurst to me,
Speaker 1: is a first round pick if is he in that
Speaker 1: nineteen range. Yeah, I think he's I think his size
Speaker 1: is going to push him eighty eight right, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: six oz one five I think is what he is.
Speaker 1: We'll see what he is in the combine if he
Speaker 1: need to get on board with all our numbers. By
Speaker 1: the way, we're just trying to We're just trying to
Speaker 1: become ann Arbor South down here, so that what's happened. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying though, this good footnoll. No, this guy's
Speaker 1: this guy's a really good football player. Research is a
Speaker 1: good and if you were interested in keeping if you're
Speaker 1: interested in saying, oh, like MALIEK. Collins is going to
Speaker 1: play the one, Yeah, by all means, Maurice Hearst would
Speaker 1: be a good guy to have on your team. And hey,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that's part of the fun part
Speaker 1: about starting this so early, is what I mean. We
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with David Irving now,
Speaker 1: so him and Christian Wilkins the two undertackles to keep up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this though. These Clemson guys they
Speaker 1: got me nervous. Why I think they're overrated, all of them.
Speaker 1: The defensive lineman Grady Jarrett wants. I mean, everybody's talking
Speaker 1: about them, Grady, Grady Jarrett wants. But what was he picked?
Speaker 1: He was fifth round? Yeah, okay, feel like he fell
Speaker 1: a little bit though, Oh he did because he's a
Speaker 1: short daddy. He's a short daddy player. He is. He
Speaker 1: is shorter. Yeah, yeah, well mean, But don't you feel
Speaker 1: like though that everybody's kind of got those Clemson guys
Speaker 1: way up there. I think that they like Cleveland Ferrell
Speaker 1: the defensive end. Yeah, I think he has He's only
Speaker 1: Richard sophomore. He's very young. I think the boy you're
Speaker 1: being nice. I just said he was young. No no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I'm he's his combination of power, athleticism for that size.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's still figuring things out. He's a young player.
Speaker 1: But when you project him forward, I think the traits there,
Speaker 1: there's plenty to like there with the trades. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying he's a top ten pick, but I think somewhere
Speaker 1: in the first round he would be. He would make sense.
Speaker 1: I got I got another big picture for you, Dane.
Speaker 1: I would say, I'm putting you on the spot, but
Speaker 1: you're way too prepared for me to think that's going
Speaker 1: to happen. Justin just wants an overview of what the
Speaker 1: strengths and the weaknesses are in this draft. I mean
Speaker 1: last year that it was a dB head about that
Speaker 1: right out of the block. Hey, that's what we need
Speaker 1: to know though, that's that's great, and we're still waiting
Speaker 1: on some under classmen to declare help. That's shape everything.
Speaker 1: But when we look at it, I think corner again
Speaker 1: is going to be a very strong route. Um debout
Speaker 1: running back, I said, yeah, running back definitely. We only
Speaker 1: we might only have one top ten pick, maybe only
Speaker 1: you know, two first rounders. Yeah, maybe more, we'll see.
Speaker 1: But in the top fifty, top sixty, Albert Kamara is
Speaker 1: out there somewhere well, and that's that's it. This is
Speaker 1: that's why Pete get ready. This thing is going up.
Speaker 1: That's it. Teams want to find that next Albert kamaras
Speaker 1: So Barkley's gonna go top five and then okay, Darius Guice,
Speaker 1: carry on, Johnson, Nick Chubb, Damian Harris, Sony Shell Love stand,
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones usc he's a Jamal Charles clone. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna see plenty of running backs go in the top sixty.
Speaker 1: We mentioned wide receiver there's a logjam of them in
Speaker 1: the top fifty, top sixty picks. Um good tight ends,
Speaker 1: some some good tight ends. You like Hayden Hurst a
Speaker 1: lot better than the guy. I mean, hey, my guy,
Speaker 1: go Durt Goddard got all right. I always kessed up names.
Speaker 1: I always gotta do. Yeah, y'all get so excited. Throw
Speaker 1: throw me some schools here. Let's South Dakota State. That's
Speaker 1: Goddard got right about Hurst, South Carolina. There we go, guys.
Speaker 1: He's a former minor league baseball player. He first, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's twenty four years old. You know what, don't ever
Speaker 1: tell me about age. After that frigging net Nan deterren S,
Speaker 1: Newman still played in Minnesota after we were told he
Speaker 1: was too old a draft. Well, and that's something that's
Speaker 1: gonna come up a lot. Ridley with Ridley, he's right
Speaker 1: about that four year old rookie. He couldn't play his
Speaker 1: senior year in high school because he turned nineteen. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just an older guy and wrapped him. Bring him on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you know what, the way that the way
Speaker 1: that these players are, you get them, you use them,
Speaker 1: you move on. And that's a terrible way of saying things,
Speaker 1: but it really is. And the salary caper. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think teams now would just rather draft. It's nice
Speaker 1: to say that, you know, even though they bust them
Speaker 1: all the time. I want a player for ten years
Speaker 1: in the you know, it's unrealistic exactly unless it's an
Speaker 1: offensive line and chances are you're not going to be
Speaker 1: the head coach for the next ten years. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna be the GM firs years. You need to win
Speaker 1: the next three or four years. Boy, you're preaching the
Speaker 1: rob anywhere where. This draft looks particularly weak again, offensive
Speaker 1: tackle just seems like it's gonna be like my guy
Speaker 1: O'Neil friend, I like them, Um, I think you have
Speaker 1: some holes. Uh not strong. Then again, every time I
Speaker 1: always talk about that guy, I talk about that Nate Solder,
Speaker 1: you know, and I talk about Baktari every time. Oh
Speaker 1: not strong enough, not strong? They play like forever. That
Speaker 1: actually serves as a great segue, y'all know how I
Speaker 1: like those though. I mean, you think about Okay, you
Speaker 1: kind of have a good idea of these team needs
Speaker 1: wide receiver, linebacker, safety, offensive tackle, a sneaky need. I
Speaker 1: would you hit it at nineteen well, that's what Josh wants. Yeah. God, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. No, I'm not doing that, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not no way no, I mean I don't think
Speaker 1: they would so, so tackle's not a need then, right off.
Speaker 1: I mean it had to happen on how you feel
Speaker 1: about Tyron Smith. But I know you were. I know
Speaker 1: you pay attention at at noon on Sundays to team
Speaker 1: up in Ohio. I get that because nobody. I love
Speaker 1: my timeline when when Dane's watching the game with the
Speaker 1: brown Yeah, he's like fighting fans. He's fighting the Browns
Speaker 1: fan like Kaiser is gonna be good. Shut up. But
Speaker 1: by the way, hey, when you do, when you do
Speaker 1: as many players as we do, you know how it goes, right.
Speaker 1: But I think that I think that the left tackle
Speaker 1: spot held this team hostage this year because of the
Speaker 1: health of the and we we got into a big
Speaker 1: debate about this on our on the Break yesterday. I
Speaker 1: do not believe that Tyron Smith's situation is so dire
Speaker 1: that this team needs to be drafting a tackle at nineteen,
Speaker 1: but I certainly think it's something that they should be
Speaker 1: looking for in free agency and the draft, a swing
Speaker 1: tackle who can adequately replace Tyrant. Let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm way wrong about where he fits in
Speaker 1: the grand scheme. Connor Williams. See, it's that nineteen scores
Speaker 1: that or is that because but send you got some
Speaker 1: teams like the Giants who were talking about all these
Speaker 1: teams that need quarterbacks. Some teams, the teams that need
Speaker 1: offensive lineman might be taken quarterbacks, right, And Connor Williams
Speaker 1: will be tough because twenty sixteen, his sophomore tape, they
Speaker 1: said that was incredible. Connor Williams from where Tech Texas.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, he looked like a
Speaker 1: first round pick. Yeah. This year he looked terrible in
Speaker 1: the h against Maryland, bad game, and then he got
Speaker 1: hurt in the USC game. Yeah, it's supposed to sell
Speaker 1: right on that bad play. And then he returned for
Speaker 1: the final two games and he looked okay, okay. Uh So,
Speaker 1: if which Connor Williams are you're drafting the two sixteen
Speaker 1: version or the two seventeen, I don't need questions. It's
Speaker 1: about my offensive tackles well, and that's why I think
Speaker 1: Conor Williams is going to be a first round pick.
Speaker 1: It could be somewhere top fifteen. Orlando Brown's gonna be
Speaker 1: a tough one for me. The Oklahoma left tackle slow
Speaker 1: because he blocks out the sun. Yeah huge, I know
Speaker 1: he is, but and that helps compensate for some of
Speaker 1: his lateral limitations because he is so big. He has
Speaker 1: that wide base the wingspan. But oh he's huge. Zeus's son. Yeah,
Speaker 1: former NFL pro Rip. So it's it's tough to wear
Speaker 1: to peg him in the draft because yeah, you have to.
Speaker 1: I don't like the left tackle right tackle distinction. I
Speaker 1: think they're the same thing you need to your tackles
Speaker 1: as a good sides in this day and age. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you saw that with Lyle Collins. He drew
Speaker 1: most of the tough matchup for the Cowboys this season.
Speaker 1: Did we answer that question about offensive tackle. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just hard with Tyrone Smith because you just have
Speaker 1: to trust the medicals and trust your trainers, and it's
Speaker 1: it's hard for I mean unless unless you're in one
Speaker 1: of those situations where like the best tackle in the
Speaker 1: classes sitting there at nineteen. It's hard for me to
Speaker 1: justify that that Jonathan Allen, I wouldn't mind him in
Speaker 1: the safety from that Indiana. The Colts took Cook. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind. In the second round the Cowboys looking
Speaker 1: at a Tyrell Crossby from Oregon. I think that'd be
Speaker 1: a He's he'd be an ideal swing tackle. Guy could
Speaker 1: play either side, um, and you're not playing paying a
Speaker 1: premium price for him, and he can start in this league.
Speaker 1: It would be it's a stretch to think of a
Speaker 1: first round tackle. It might have agree. We've managed to
Speaker 1: not really mention this guy too much, which is amazing
Speaker 1: because pup Daddy, pup Daddy, pup Daddy is his name,
Speaker 1: pup Daddy like it. Uh, he wants to know he first,
Speaker 1: he wants a comparison of Roquan Smith and Rashaun Evans,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be playing each other on Monday in Alabama.
Speaker 1: But also just kind of, uh, let's just sort of
Speaker 1: talk about why Cowboys Nation is just absolutely in love
Speaker 1: and with Roquan Smith and what he could do for
Speaker 1: you slash hows Evans. By the way, can he get
Speaker 1: nicked up in that game the other night? He got
Speaker 1: banged up, but he's I think he's supposed to play
Speaker 1: and okay, okay. Big thing for Evans is he plays
Speaker 1: the sam and Nick Saban's three four is multiple scheme
Speaker 1: where he's mostly going downhill um and then he even
Speaker 1: puts his hand on the ground when they go to
Speaker 1: a four man front and off. He's an interesting is
Speaker 1: that range Rolando McClean looking type dude. He's really square. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not range looking, He's just he's long. He's square. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's really square, Dave. And I mean and when you
Speaker 1: watch him he bounces off people, he's like he bound,
Speaker 1: he hits him, he spins, he you know, but he
Speaker 1: has the speed where he can make plays at the
Speaker 1: sideline and on the perimeter. Yeah. Uh, big question for me,
Speaker 1: I think, And we won't know this, And this is
Speaker 1: why the Senior Bowl wild be so important. Is how
Speaker 1: he does in reverse? How does he do in coverage
Speaker 1: covering backs and tight ends the drills during practice? That's
Speaker 1: going to reveal a lot that'll help me with the
Speaker 1: Evans evaluation. With Roquan Smith, the SEC Championship game might
Speaker 1: have been the best against Auburn. Georgia beat up on Auburn.
Speaker 1: That might have been the best linebacker tape I've ever
Speaker 1: watched with Roquan Smith. He was that good Uh, that
Speaker 1: is that hyperbole? Is that too going? I gave him.
Speaker 1: I gave palms up because I'm like, yeah, he's right,
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's good. See the problem you run in
Speaker 1: with him? He plays the will? Does he play the will?
Speaker 1: He plays the will in Kirby Smarts three four. Yes. See,
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm saying, though that doesn't matter to me. Okay,
Speaker 1: you do have Sean Lee that plays your will. He's
Speaker 1: he's turning thirty two. Okay, I'm with you. If you're
Speaker 1: just if you're okay, next question, well, next question? Is
Speaker 1: he there at nineteen? No? See, that's that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to go get that guy. I
Speaker 1: think that. And are you going to get a guy
Speaker 1: where you already have? And I and again, I love
Speaker 1: the player, folks, don't get me wrong. I love the guy.
Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm trying to think of what they
Speaker 1: would think. I think he's one of the top ten
Speaker 1: players in this draft. But I don't agree with you.
Speaker 1: How much higher did we have of Lavante David rated
Speaker 1: compared to where he was drafted or the LSU linebacker
Speaker 1: um One Atlantis? Yeah, John, I mean I think these
Speaker 1: undersized linebackers are not undersized, but guys that don't fitfall
Speaker 1: linebackers right off, fall linebackers that don't fit the ideal
Speaker 1: size measurements that team pot four, they might fall a
Speaker 1: little bit. I'm not saying Roquat Smith's gonna be there
Speaker 1: at nineteen. I'm saying there's an outside chance, and I'm saying,
Speaker 1: if he falls to fourteen fifteen, do you go get him?
Speaker 1: And so I don't think it's totally unrealistic to say that,
Speaker 1: you know, there's no chance that he could be well,
Speaker 1: I know, I just I just kind of look at
Speaker 1: this team and saying, well, Sean Lee, he plays, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm ready for the can. The scouts can walk and
Speaker 1: buy and grab candy out of the candy jar. Our
Speaker 1: desk can kind of give us a little whisper here
Speaker 1: and there. Maybe I I hear what you're saying. I
Speaker 1: don't think nineteen is not too steep of a price
Speaker 1: for me, considering Sean Lee's age and injury history. Oh
Speaker 1: hey and all that. But but I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: talking about trading up to get a guy who's going
Speaker 1: to be your third linebacker preferably, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I love him. I get Dallas is no man's land
Speaker 1: right now in this thing until until I catch up
Speaker 1: where the draft, how it's gonna fall or how it
Speaker 1: could fall. I mean, I'm thinking, I'm thinking Smith, like
Speaker 1: you said, he's top ten. So one more, well, one
Speaker 1: last one, one last one. Then we got to get
Speaker 1: to a break. Our friend of the show, Bobby Belt,
Speaker 1: wants y'all to talk about Marcus Davenport. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: is this is this a nineteen consideration? Uh? If he's there,
Speaker 1: If he's there a guy from UTSA. If he's there,
Speaker 1: this is a guy with this guy's got it. He's
Speaker 1: a How long has u TSA been playing top tier football?
Speaker 1: Like three years? Four? That's a good question. I don't know,
Speaker 1: not man, it's maybe it might be more like six
Speaker 1: or seven. I don't know, but uh, certainly not a
Speaker 1: power program. No, it's a defensive end, right, Are you
Speaker 1: got him? No? I think he I mean the size measurements,
Speaker 1: the athleticism. I mean, he's he's a trades player, Okay.
Speaker 1: I mean you're drafting him for the traits, and that
Speaker 1: could be a little risky at times in the first round.
Speaker 1: But he's got a hoops background. Uh you know, you
Speaker 1: you see the athleticism way he I mean Louisiana Tech game,
Speaker 1: they tried to have a running back block him. Yeah. Ok. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the funeral for that running back, yeah, it was two
Speaker 1: days later. So it's just that Marcus Davenport has There's
Speaker 1: a lot to like about him. He's still raw in
Speaker 1: a lot of areas, sure, but I think you look
Speaker 1: at the Packers picking in the mid first round, he
Speaker 1: could be an option. We know a lot of teams
Speaker 1: need pass rush helps, so he might not even be
Speaker 1: in discussion at nineteen because he might not be there.
Speaker 1: This guy's a bully. Yeah, he's a bully. Play he
Speaker 1: plays like a bully. He will he will take guys on,
Speaker 1: push guys around, and he's a physical player. And what's amazing,
Speaker 1: he's plays in the two point stance really the whole game.
Speaker 1: I mean you you rarely ever ever see him put
Speaker 1: his hand on the ground in rush. I think the
Speaker 1: fun thing for me about how early we're starting this is,
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys know, by the time we by
Speaker 1: the time even the combine rolls around, oh yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: have we'll have our net of like, yeah, eight guys
Speaker 1: that are realistic consideration. And I mean last year we
Speaker 1: were pretty damn close. We were we were we talked
Speaker 1: him into drafting the safety from Louisiana and well we'll
Speaker 1: get into that. But even in the first round, I mean,
Speaker 1: Charles Harris, Jack McKinley, Taco like, we were right, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited to figure out because I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know enough right now is if Marcus Davenport's realistic is
Speaker 1: Rocan Smith Smith Smith's realistic Christian Kirk Like, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to kind of firm up that idea of like what
Speaker 1: exactly are we looking at now? This is a going
Speaker 1: back with Davenport. Just looking my notes, Scott didn't play light.
Speaker 1: He is one of those guys that when I mean
Speaker 1: he's good, he's got some pop in his hand, give
Speaker 1: me six five six two fifty two wow. And he's
Speaker 1: very balanced. Yeah, he's not a guy who's gonna be
Speaker 1: fall on the ground. I mean he not only can
Speaker 1: he go around guys, he can go through them as well. Yeah. Okay, Ken,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I should have owned you a break about

Speaker 1: so disappointed. We'll be there for you. Yeah, yeah, Derek Eagleton,
Speaker 1: I know, like, I know we love this, but I'm
Speaker 1: always I shouldn't be, but I'm I'm surprised by like
Speaker 1: the outpouring of love. Well, you guys are busy, guys.
Speaker 1: My man here, he's got like seventeen jobs he's doing.
Speaker 1: You've got all these shows you're on, But like I
Speaker 1: don't want to make you guys have to do anything.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, but it's no. I'm talking about the fans.
Speaker 1: Like as soon as as soon as the uh you know,
Speaker 1: as soon as they lost to the Seahawks and they
Speaker 1: were eliminated, like you just start getting yeah, tweet that.
Speaker 1: Yeah for that. Yeah, it was like, yeah, it's one
Speaker 1: thing for like a sarcastic fan to be like, well,
Speaker 1: time to talk about the draft, Dave. But then like
Speaker 1: we announced that the show's starting today, and it's just
Speaker 1: like people are freaking the hell out. It's awesome. Well,
Speaker 1: like I said, well, well we'll carve some time. But
Speaker 1: at Derek Eagleton, if you want to see the show,
Speaker 1: just go ahead and go at him with this, can't.
Speaker 1: I asked if there were any calls? Are there any? Yeah?
Speaker 1: We got Brian and Waco, Brian and Wake You're on
Speaker 1: the Draft show, Brian, Hey, Hey there Fellas Hey. UM.
Speaker 1: I just want to say I've been looking forward to
Speaker 1: this day for a long ever since basically November twelfth
Speaker 1: of last year when the Cowboys played Atlanta. Um and
Speaker 1: uh fell in love with the show last year and
Speaker 1: just absolutely love it. You guys are great. Quick comment.
Speaker 1: One of my biggest problems from last year is that
Speaker 1: they the Cowboys just refused to really utilize Zeke in
Speaker 1: their offense as far as route running like a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: I know Nick Eatman talks about one a police flicker
Speaker 1: once a game. I would love that too. I love
Speaker 1: that play, but I think maybe you know, Zeke out
Speaker 1: on a post route twenty yards. I think that would
Speaker 1: just scare the absolute crap out of DB's and maybe
Speaker 1: you pull out of him that way. Open up receivers
Speaker 1: on the other side, you know, worst lamp route or
Speaker 1: something like that. So my my biggest concern is the
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I think Calvin Ridley has a good chance
Speaker 1: of being maybe the next Julio Jones also Alabama alum
Speaker 1: sure um and uh, I just think he is so
Speaker 1: NFL ready on his release, his route running, his hands
Speaker 1: are amazing and uh just has such a great boy
Speaker 1: type for number one. And so my question is is
Speaker 1: he at all possible uh for the Cowboys? If not?
Speaker 1: Outside of Rokan Smith, who I also love, who do
Speaker 1: you see kind of the Cowboys wanting to trade up
Speaker 1: for like where do you see where do you see
Speaker 1: their them kind of pushing their chips to the table
Speaker 1: for like this player. I'll hang up. Yeah, I appreciate that,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Yeah, we talked about Calvin really
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier. Yeah. One thing that I disagree
Speaker 1: with with Brian is the body type. That's my one
Speaker 1: one of my worries with Calvin release just to tick
Speaker 1: over six one right, he doesn't have ideal body armor
Speaker 1: like like a Julio Jones, and he'll get banged up
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's explosive, but exactly there's two most
Speaker 1: important things. I've said this every year, the most two
Speaker 1: most important things about a receiver. Can you get open
Speaker 1: and can you catch the ball? He's got two of those.
Speaker 1: Calvin really does both of those things exceptionally. So if
Speaker 1: he's there at nineteen, it's a no brainer to mean. Now,
Speaker 1: my question to you two guys, Okay, would they do it? Well?
Speaker 1: The financial commitments? They have a wide receiver right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, Calvin really would be a day one upgrade
Speaker 1: over Terrence Williams at the Z Yeah, but how did
Speaker 1: they get out of that or that Terrence Williams contract?
Speaker 1: You know it just would they take a receiver there
Speaker 1: if it came, if it fell that way, I really
Speaker 1: I think they would. If it was just a no
Speaker 1: brainer situation. I really think they would. And I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to do anything drastic to
Speaker 1: your receiver cord to make that work. Honestly, you look
Speaker 1: at it. There's there's what, there's six right now. They
Speaker 1: carried six all year. Bryce Butler's an impending free agent.
Speaker 1: You certainly don't get the idea that he plans on
Speaker 1: coming back. Just from talking to him. Anything's possible. But
Speaker 1: that's just the idea that I get. Noah Brown is
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick. They clearly liked him enough to keep. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is sixth in my head. I'm just thinking that
Speaker 1: Noah Brown's the seventh round pick. Ryan Switzer's a fourth
Speaker 1: round pick. There's no there's nothing, nothing nothing, Man's that
Speaker 1: you keep either the guys on this team go and
Speaker 1: then and like I said, even if Bryce leaves, you
Speaker 1: can still keep them both. Add a draft pick as
Speaker 1: your sixth receiver if you want to get crazy with it.
Speaker 1: Once you draft that guy, if you were to draft
Speaker 1: to Calvin Ridley, who's good enough to be your number
Speaker 1: one or number two from day one? You add that
Speaker 1: guy to the team, go into OTA's and if you
Speaker 1: want to, you could play hardball with Dez or Terrence
Speaker 1: and say, hey, take a pay cut, or we can
Speaker 1: cut you and this guy, I'll take your job. Or
Speaker 1: you could just carry those six and and move on
Speaker 1: from one of them next year and have your rookie
Speaker 1: takeover at that point. Either way, I think it's totally
Speaker 1: I think it's totally doable to add a receiver without
Speaker 1: getting rid of either of those guys. But if you
Speaker 1: wanted to, you could. Yeah, it listen, you want does
Speaker 1: Brian on this team? And I still think he's the
Speaker 1: number one. Now, Calvin Ridley, I think would be the
Speaker 1: perfect number two who can step into that number one
Speaker 1: role in a year or two. So I think adding
Speaker 1: a Calvin Ridley to me, you know, it's January fourth, okay,
Speaker 1: but where we stand right now, Calvin Ridley at nineteen
Speaker 1: would be the ideal pick for this team. Is that realistic?
Speaker 1: I think it's really I don't think it's receivers are
Speaker 1: so tough. Last year it's three went in to top ten.
Speaker 1: Would you consider him the best wide receiver in this class?
Speaker 1: Right now? He's clearly the number one wide receiver. What
Speaker 1: are the odds that the number one receiver in this
Speaker 1: class falls all the way to Let's look at two
Speaker 1: years ago, when it was Laquon Treadwell, it was Josh Doxon,
Speaker 1: it was Corey Coleman. Only one of those guys went
Speaker 1: in top twenty, and that was Corey Coleman, who went
Speaker 1: fifteenth overall. So wide receivers are weird in the draft
Speaker 1: unless you're an AJ Green or Julio Jones. And with
Speaker 1: with Calvin Ridley being gonna be a twenty four year
Speaker 1: old rookie with again the body type, the injury possibilities.
Speaker 1: That that's what worries me a little bit. It could
Speaker 1: causing to slip a little bit. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: likely he's there at nineteen. I do think it's possible.
Speaker 1: And again, kind of like with Roquan Smith, if he's
Speaker 1: there at fourteen fifteen, is it worth you know, trading uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a third or a couple of fourths or
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to move up three or four spots.
Speaker 1: And I think Brian mentioned that too, is if he
Speaker 1: if that guy were to start, if he if he's
Speaker 1: there at like fourteen fifteen sixteen, you got some comp
Speaker 1: picks you can use, and you can trade those now
Speaker 1: in this year. Yeah, maybe use one of those guys
Speaker 1: to get you up into the or maybe you deal
Speaker 1: your third knowing that you have two fourths or something
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, that's really I think that's that's
Speaker 1: not crazy. We'll hear a lot about how a good
Speaker 1: thing that won week seventeen or else I would have
Speaker 1: been there, Yeah, which you know, I get that, and
Speaker 1: you know, for every sarcastic comment I read, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that could be the difference between player and not but
Speaker 1: could be yeah, you missed you missed out on Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald and Ryan Shazier in fourteen and got the best
Speaker 1: guard in the game in Zach Matt. So I mean
Speaker 1: that's what you think. You think p people or teams
Speaker 1: are kind of shined away from the receiver bit thing
Speaker 1: that that they're starting to say, hey, you don't have
Speaker 1: to take these guys, right, top ten? Right, Well, that's
Speaker 1: what I thought last year and then and then three
Speaker 1: went in the top ten. But you look at it.
Speaker 1: But but but you're looking at it. You're saying, well, hey,
Speaker 1: the receivers in this draft are better than those guys.
Speaker 1: Why you know, Okay, but like, let's look at the
Speaker 1: three receivers draft a top ten last year. Corey Davis
Speaker 1: missed most of the year with injuries. Right, Mike Williams
Speaker 1: missed most of the year with injuries. John Ross did
Speaker 1: he play? I don't think he did. They were trying,
Speaker 1: they were maybe looking at him as a defensive back.
Speaker 1: So there's you know, those three picks in the top
Speaker 1: ten look like uh ill advised picks at this point.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. Are people gonna shy away
Speaker 1: from this. People gonna say, I think it's possible, you
Speaker 1: know what, and and maybe he does sly unless you're
Speaker 1: in aj Green or Julio Jones or Larry Fitzgerald, all
Speaker 1: players that went in the top five. But also and
Speaker 1: I was, but there, I mean there's still guys. I
Speaker 1: think the cream has a way of rising in the top.
Speaker 1: I mean Odell Beckham twelve overall. Uh, Julio, I know
Speaker 1: he didn't have a great year this year, but I
Speaker 1: still consider Amari Cooper a really, really good receiver. Um So,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I think it says more about
Speaker 1: the receiver class if he falls that far as right
Speaker 1: as opposed to like this trend that that receivers aren't
Speaker 1: worth it, because they absolutely are. If I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: a predict, a fair point, I'm gonna make a prediction.
Speaker 1: But this is I'm here with you know, first day
Speaker 1: we're gonna go another hour. Yeah, first first day prediction.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that people are gonna covet the running
Speaker 1: backs more than the wide receivers in this draft. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean at the top of the top of wide
Speaker 1: receivers are gonna go down. Okay, quarterbacks, running backs up,
Speaker 1: wide receivers down. But I'm reluctant to say that the
Speaker 1: depth of the position. It's just it's the position though,
Speaker 1: because the running back is if Darius Geiss is RB,
Speaker 1: people are seeing what running games or means for these teams. Sure,
Speaker 1: I well, yeah, and what what if jackson Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: is Leonard Fournette really wake Bortles was a bag of
Speaker 1: you know what, they get a running game, they get
Speaker 1: some defense, I would I'm I'm leaning more toward Todd Gurley, Zeke,
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara as my reasons for that as opposed to Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I mean, they made it. They
Speaker 1: made a top five commitment to get Fournette, No, and
Speaker 1: and he had a decent season, but it's not I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not like he took the league over. That's all
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. I think he barely had over
Speaker 1: a thousand yards I think, but solid solid, But the
Speaker 1: threat there, the talents, the talents in this running back
Speaker 1: class are just absurd though. I mean, Zeke himself thinks
Speaker 1: that Sequon Barkley is a better He did say that
Speaker 1: he is. He did, And I was going to ask
Speaker 1: you we didn't get to it. But somebody locked that
Speaker 1: Barkley's a top five pick. You think, I think so
Speaker 1: he's he's the twenty number one. I don't know. You
Speaker 1: can't rule it out. I would say it's doubts. I mean,
Speaker 1: if somebody would trade up, I'm not saying that could
Speaker 1: take him number They need a running back, that's true.
Speaker 1: They well, I think the ideals so they get their
Speaker 1: quarterback at four, you need to if you're gonna take
Speaker 1: a quarterback'll take you have to take him a while.
Speaker 1: I'm right now on January fourth, I'm just gonna say
Speaker 1: the Browns should draft Rosen and Barkley and call it
Speaker 1: a day. Well, that's the thing is, if you can
Speaker 1: get a quarterback at one, whether it's Darnold Rosen whoever,
Speaker 1: and then Barkeley at four, talk about a transformation of
Speaker 1: your offense, talk about selling some jerseys. Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dorsey doesn't sell this pick. It'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what kind of calls he gets because with the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: with you know, a Bradley Chubb could be there. I mean,
Speaker 1: if it's Patrick whoever's there, that'll be interesting. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you look at the Giants at two, probably
Speaker 1: go quarterback, but Barkley would fill a huge need there Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: Frank Gore is on his final legs, I think, but
Speaker 1: you know, Barkley could be an option there. At three Cleveland,
Speaker 1: they need a running back, especially for a young quarterback.
Speaker 1: He could be the pick up four. So I'll have
Speaker 1: a tough time seeing Barkley fall out of top four picks.
Speaker 1: How many how many running backs you got with first
Speaker 1: round grades right now? Just Barkley Barkley for him? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't even you don't have one on Geis or
Speaker 1: I like guys a lot. I have him as a
Speaker 1: late one, early two. Um, he could go in the teens,
Speaker 1: could go in the twenties. But in terms of just
Speaker 1: shall you said, uh, let's see, let me pull my
Speaker 1: running back rank Barkley one, and then I have Guys
Speaker 1: and Carrie and Johnson with late one early twos, Nick
Speaker 1: Chubb also with a late one early two, and then
Speaker 1: I've got a bunch of twos Ronald Jones, Damian Harris,
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle U, Rashad Pennies in there. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think we still have a few Underclosset brace love I
Speaker 1: love I love that for the Cowboys. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they'd yet. I'm saying you get ready and there's
Speaker 1: a there's a glut at at wide receiver too. I
Speaker 1: make it a prediction. Yeah, go ahead, if not a
Speaker 1: quarterback the first round, fifteen of the last twenty five drafts,
Speaker 1: a quarterback has gone number one. Yeah, I think that's
Speaker 1: going to continue. And here's the here's the trend. If
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. Four defensive ends, three offensive tackles, one
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, one wide receiver, and one running back. Well,
Speaker 1: let's just do some quick math there. I mean we
Speaker 1: you said offensive tackle sucks in this class. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be an off as the tackle. I'm I
Speaker 1: know there's some good defensive ends, but I don't think
Speaker 1: there's anybody on ub. Chubb is not Garrett. I'm he's
Speaker 1: not Garrett, but I think he's people like him. He's
Speaker 1: I think he's a top seven pick. That's fine, but
Speaker 1: I don't think he's good enough to be the number one.
Speaker 1: You watched him, right, Yeah, and I, like I said,
Speaker 1: I think I watched him with an unfair bias because
Speaker 1: I've heard so much about it. But I came away
Speaker 1: from it thinking like he's good, but not like this transformative,
Speaker 1: franchise altering player. Agree he's not Garrett Yeah uh and
Speaker 1: so okay, defensive end, offensive tackle, no mate, Okay, maybe
Speaker 1: sae Quon Barkley, but otherwise, I mean it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a quarterback. I feel very comfortable saying that. Right, the
Speaker 1: brown stay at one. I think there's an outside shot
Speaker 1: at running a sa Quon Barkley. But Indie, Who's who's
Speaker 1: the Indian? Does Indy need a quarterback? See that's some
Speaker 1: said I would worry about somebody moving like. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Chris Ballard knows it, but that's my That's
Speaker 1: my point is, even if somebody trades up into that pick,
Speaker 1: what are they doing it. They're doing it for a quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: You're not doing it for se Quon Barkley, even if
Speaker 1: he is amazing. I don't think I agree, And that's
Speaker 1: why I think the Browns go quarterback at one, and
Speaker 1: you know, I understand fans Sparkley at one, then just
Speaker 1: get whatever quarterbacks left at four. That's not how it works.
Speaker 1: If you're going to drop the quarterback in the top four,
Speaker 1: you're taking your guy. Yeah, she's not trading this Pa.
Speaker 1: I don't think he is well and you well, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying passing it on quarterback at one and taking
Speaker 1: him at four, yeah, risk the Giants taking him or
Speaker 1: someone trading up to three and somebody blockbustering going up
Speaker 1: in there. Right about Arizona, Barkley, Arizona. How about that?
Speaker 1: Teams have come at Philadelphia, came from the middle of
Speaker 1: the draft, and then you can have a new You
Speaker 1: have a new head coach in Arizona. Two. Yeah, Mike
Speaker 1: mcagnet in New York, he desperate for a quarterback. At seven,
Speaker 1: Jets could move up the Broncos and Kirk Cousins could
Speaker 1: be the wild card in all this. Where does he
Speaker 1: sign a free agency Yeah, it's what if he goes
Speaker 1: to Cleveland? What if he goes to Denver? All of
Speaker 1: a sudden one of those teams in the top five
Speaker 1: does not need a quarterback. I'm so excited. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's let can we skip? Can we skip
Speaker 1: to like March four? Yeah, we got let's skip to
Speaker 1: the combat so got we still got time, We still
