Welcome into a Friday edition of Texans 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: All Access from the Unday Texans Radio studio John Harris 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: alongside Mark Vanimer. Mark, goody evening, How are you, sir, 4 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: Good evening, Johnny. Yeah, it's a big weekend because wait, 5 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: why is it a big weekend again? Because we're getting 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: ready for the combine. That's why it's a big weekend. 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: And every weekend's a big weekend. I'm still adjusting to 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: no NFL football. I know we have this other stuff, 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: but please, you know, it's kind of like it's kind 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: of like you you are used to ice cream and 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: you get to have I don't know what's the what's 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: the analogy here? I'm looking for frozen oat milk. Yeah, 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: thank you, that's slightly sweetened. Yeah, I think that's what 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: my daughter. I think that's what she eats because she's 15 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: now full on vegan, which I'm still dealing. I'd rather 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: just fully embrace college basketball right now then, and I'll 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 1: check out the other pro football leagues. Of course I will, 18 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: because I do that. But college basketball is the top 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: of the line in that amateur basketball game. Is attor anymore? Yeah? Yeah, 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: it probably isn't close enough. All right, We're gonna learn 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: a little bit about Anthony Richardson a little later in 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: this show. He is gaining a lot of steam. Dpcit, 23 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: who did interview on the Florida Gated Quarterback is I 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: don't want to use the word polarizing. I think Will 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: Levis is more polarizing. I did a scott to report 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: for Anthony Richardson on my site and I walked out 27 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: of there going wow, I mean, holy smoked. Some of 28 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback tools he has unbelievable. Oh but man, the 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: bad is bad. So we'll learn a little bit more 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: about Anthony Richardson as we go, and we're gonna get 31 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: to our three round mock and just a bit about 32 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: the Texans announced their coaching staff today. Mark. There's really 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: not much to this guys here that we didn't already 34 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: know other than one guy. I'm very excited about Bill Laser, 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: senior offensive assistant. Why am I excited? I played against 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: him in college. He was Cornell's quarterback. I played defensive 37 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: back at Brown, So yeah, I'm excited about that. But 38 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: who will these guys and up coaching? Well, let's find 39 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: out right now, as we do our three round mock. 40 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: You ready, Mark, Yeah? And so Texans have pick two twelve, 41 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: thirty four, thirty three, thirty four, sixty five seventy three. 42 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: Those are the five picks five. Those are the five 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: picks the Texans have as of now. And with Nikos 44 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: Sarios general manager, we have to preface everything as of now, 45 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: even in draft weekend, we have to say as of now, 46 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: because things can change very very quickly, as we found 47 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: out last year pick thirteen turning into pick fifteen and 48 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: some change, some extra land yapp as Mark likes to 49 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: say later in a draft. So those are the picks 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: we know of right now. Two twelve, thirty three, sixty 51 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: five seventy three. So here's what we're gonna go about this. 52 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Mark the opportunity to say, all right, 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: this is what I think the position well, where the 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: lean is at this particular spot. I'm gonna fill in 55 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: the gap. If you don't give in players, I can shoot, 56 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: I can give them the thumbs up, or I can say, 57 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: oh not at all, I'm ready to go. Okay, I'm 58 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: ready with players, Johnny, Okay. I think the question we 59 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: have to ask ourselves first is who did the Chicago 60 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: Bears take at number one, yeah, or because I need 61 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: to Chicago Bears do. I need to know who's off 62 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: the board here, and I really hope the player that 63 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: I want is not off the board, but we'll see. 64 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: I think the now this brought up Anthony Richardson. I 65 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: thought I heard Landry say this the other day, and 66 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: I had seen CBS Sports with a mock draft having 67 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: the Colts trading to one and then drafting Richardson. Then 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, out in Vegas, Richardson's odds of 69 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: being the number one pick went from one hundred to 70 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: one to seven to one. There's no way he's the 71 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: number one pick in this draft. Okay, I'm saying this 72 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: right here, twenty fourth, that's not happening. February twenty fourth, 73 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Would you have said that about Trayvon Walker? 74 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: You know Trey, and you know I'm the first to 75 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: tell you a quarterback stock and soar ridiculously high. And 76 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: you know what my phrase is gonna be when it 77 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: comes to the draft, never say never. And you get 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: the hot romance picks too, not that he's one necessarily, 79 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: but you get that all this doesn't look likely. It 80 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: doesn't look likely he would go number one. I'm gonna 81 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: say this. I'm gonna say the Bears and end up 82 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: trading a pick, and I do think it ends up 83 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: being Bryce Young at number one. Okay, let's say, let's 84 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: just go it's Bryce Young at number one, just to 85 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: kind of deflate everybody's bubble at that point. Bryce Young 86 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: goes at number one, and it doesn't go to the Texas. 87 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: Texas do not move up, Texans stay at number two. 88 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: Thoughts about number two, Thoughts about number two. I'm taking 89 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: Jail and Carter right there. Time out? Hold up, Yeah, 90 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: you just did what. I just took Jail and Carter 91 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: right You just took Tayling Carter at number two. I 92 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 1: just did. Okay, you have some explaining to do. Sorry, 93 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: they took Bryce Young, and I don't have Bryce Young 94 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: available to take. Okay, So I'm gonna take Jail and 95 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: Carter right here. I'm gonna wait on the quarterback. You'll 96 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: see what I do. I still have a lot of 97 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: picks to work with here, Johnny, Okay, you'll see what 98 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: I put together. I'm not listen. The only reason and 99 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: that there's any shock or in my voices. There's been 100 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: so much talk about quarterback. Yeah, don't get me wrong. 101 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: I will absolutely love Jalen Carter all day, every day, 102 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: love him. In fact, number one in the Harris one 103 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: hundred is Jalen Carter. Yes, Will Anderson. Now to number two, 104 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: Bryce Carter, three, c just Strout at four? Okay, your 105 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: pick Bryce Young is gone? Who is your pick at 106 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: number two? And I get you could do like seven 107 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: mock drafts. We don't get. Yeah, if that were the case, 108 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: I would go with CJ. Stroud, Okay, c J. Stroud 109 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: number two. So you have a rookie quarterback, I take, 110 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: I'd take a I take a future Joe Burrow. Now, 111 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: I think Burrow's got one thing. And it's funny because 112 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: I heard I heard Sean is Stath talking about this today. 113 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: I think they kind of brought up or something. There 114 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: was an interview something that brought up that CJ. Stroud 115 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: had been liking to Joe Burrow. I'm like, man, I've 116 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: been comparing him to Burrow since the spring, Like when 117 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: I put out my first Harris one hundred, that's exactly 118 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: who I compared him to was Joe Burrow. It is 119 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: the ohiot day connection, but more it was more of 120 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: the ball placement, and then it was Burrow's desire to 121 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: move out of the pocket then throw, as opposed to 122 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: get out the pocket and run. CJ. Is the same way. 123 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: He'll move around and get out of danger in the pocket, 124 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: but he's looking to throw. He'll run if he has to, 125 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: but he wants to. He wants to throw once he 126 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: gets out of the pocket off platform. And so I 127 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: came up with this Joe Burrow comparison. I do think 128 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: the difference with Burrow and Stroud is more. I think 129 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: Stroud's very confident, But I get the thought that Joe Burrow, 130 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: even though it doesn't come across quite this way, that 131 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow walks in the room and says we're gonna 132 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: win because I'm Joe Burrow and I'm your leader, I'm 133 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: your quarterback. I don't know if I quite get that 134 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: with CJ. Stroud. I feel like Burrow has that and 135 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: it definitely showed its way and showed itself at LSU, 136 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: and so that's where I think there's a difference in 137 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: the two. But that said, I want a quarterback that 138 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: can sling it with that accuracy and that ball placement. 139 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: I'll take CJ. Stroud all day. Let's go to twelve. Okay, 140 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: let's go to twelve. I got a feeling this might 141 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: be what you're thinking. Let's go with it. Go ty, 142 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: I might have to move up to do it, or 143 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: right here, I'm gonna take Anthony richards Okay, I'm taking 144 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: Richardson at twelve after taking Jailing Carter at two. And 145 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: everybody's going to get very excited about this because during 146 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: free agency I picked up a quarterback or two to 147 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: bridge the gap between Richardson being ready and whatever I 148 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: start out with. I might start with Richardson. I don't 149 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: know how quickly he's going to progress. I'm not taking 150 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: them unless I feel like he can progress. And the 151 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: word is not quickly, but thoroughly, really soak into the job, 152 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: have that work ethic to improve. Because you look at 153 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: some of the raw skills he has, it's very entertaining 154 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: and very intriguing. Okay, so here a couple thoughts on 155 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, and you'll see that you see my Scottering 156 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: reporter Anthony Richardson the tools and you've heard me say 157 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: this about next year, next year, next year's crop up quarterbacks, 158 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: no matter what next year would be beyond Anthony Richardson, 159 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: his tools and traits will either be better than everybody 160 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: or right near the top of everybody. So everybody knows 161 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: Cayleb Williams from USC is a next year's group. Guess 162 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: what Anthony richards Anthony Richardson's got tools on that level, 163 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: everybody thinks Caleb Williams is a what's in a generation quarterback. 164 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson's tools are on par with his. What separates 165 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson kind of from from all these other quarterbacks 166 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: is that, no matter what next year would be, So 167 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: your point about, you know, could you get him to 168 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: sit for a while, maybe even for a full year. 169 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: If you do that, you've got a wildly talented quarterback. 170 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: Wildly talented. I don't mind your thought process at all. 171 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: The only thing I will say, because of those tools, 172 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he gets the twelve. You think you'll 173 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: have to move up to take. I think you're gonna 174 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: have to move up. And I think what's gonna end 175 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: up happening with this quarterback? All it's all tied in 176 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: together as quarterback carousel. You know what happens with a 177 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: car Where does cargo how many carconoate filled one spot? 178 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: But if he fills this spot, Jimmy, then Jimmy, what 179 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: happens with Aaron Rodgers? You know, if Aaron Rodgers decides 180 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: you want to stay in Green Bay, it's green Bay 181 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: moved Jordan Love. Either way, you're gonna you got a feeling, 182 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna know the quarterbacks. They're gonna fill spots, but 183 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: there are plenty of spots that aren't open and available. 184 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: You know what happens in Carolina. Carolina drafts at number nine. 185 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: New Orleans doesn't have trying to remember if you orlans 186 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: pick what pick New Orleans has. I don't think they 187 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: pick in the top nine. But New Orleans is gonna 188 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: be a quarterback. If they don't get Derek Carr, they 189 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: don't get Aaron Rodgers or whatever else, They've got to 190 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: find a quarterback. So there's gonna be enough quarterbacks and 191 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: teams that need quarterback. The Raiders, if they don't ge 192 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, they've got to get a rookie. Ye know 193 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: what happens in Arizona. I mean, the Kyler Murray thing 194 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: is it's dicey. I don't think they go to the quarterback, 195 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: but you never know. Colts need one, Seahawks could go 196 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: with Gino, but Gino's a free agent, so do they 197 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: continue with So they're just a lot of questions. So 198 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: you don't think you're gonna get Richardson at twelve. You 199 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: think all four are gone, the four top guys are 200 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: gone before you get to twelve. I had no us 201 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: I had four in a top nine. Dang wow, So 202 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: you might have to be one of the teams moving up. Yeah, 203 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's weird when you look at this draft, Johnny, 204 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned New Orleans. Well, Philly's got their pick number 205 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: ten overall, right, you look at the Rams. They're sending 206 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: their pick to Detroit and you mentioned them. Do they 207 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: really need a quarterback? And they're not gonna take one 208 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: right there? No, they're too close. But if there's a 209 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: team that could take Richardson, that's the type of that's 210 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: the exact type of team that could take I don't 211 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: think they do though they don't have they're doing that. 212 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: They need to fourify that a really good season. They 213 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: need to I don't want to say win, they have 214 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: to win now, I'm just gonna say it. They feel like, look, 215 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: we can't take a step back and now wait for 216 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: the next quarterback. We have to capitalize on the moment here, 217 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: and the moment is Jared Goff is playing at a 218 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: high enough level to get us into the postseason and 219 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: maybe advance. They've got to jump all over considering their history, 220 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: considering they only had four winning seasons in the entire 221 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: tenure of Matthew Stafford, and Goff in his second year 222 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: there takes them almost to the playoffs and they have 223 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: a winning season. But they draft again at eighteen. Yeah, 224 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: but I know, you know who had picks six, six 225 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: and eighteen in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen. Excuse me? 226 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: The Giants what they do? Daniel Jones at six? They 227 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: went early. They took the quarterback at six, and they 228 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: still had Eli Manning at the time if I remember correctly, right, 229 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,599 Speaker 1: and they could have taken Taster Lawrence at eighteen. H 230 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: that was a good pick. Pick that was That was 231 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: that draft. But they got the quarterback first. So I 232 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: think Detroit Detroit could be they I imagine Detroit's gonna 233 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: listen to trade offers too, because they could they could 234 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: build up the Coffers. They had to trade. They had 235 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: to trade a bit to get back in the first 236 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: round last year to get Jameson Williams. Detroit's sitting in 237 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: a really interesting position because you're right, if they draft 238 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: got like Tyree will Wilson six, or you know, maybe 239 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: a Will Anderson falls into lap at six, I mean, 240 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: you gotta take him. You have to take you gotta 241 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: take him, and then you can you can play the 242 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: We'll get our future quarterback in twenty twenty four because 243 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: there'll be plenty of him at that point. You can't 244 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: take a player you're not gonna use right away when 245 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: you're in that position, when you're exactly Kansas City with 246 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes at ten, they moved up to get them and 247 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: didn't even play him the first year because they had 248 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: a good team, they had a playoff team and they 249 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: had a good quarterback already, and they said, you know what, 250 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: we can wait however long it takes. But they clearly 251 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: saw behind the scenes, you know this guy's gonna be 252 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: totally ready and he's better than we thought. I think 253 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: you're I love your approach, though, I really do. I 254 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: love the Jalen Carter Anthony Richardson, Can I give you 255 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: my pick if I happen to take a quarterback at two. 256 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: I was sitting there at twelve, and obviously Tyree Wilson's gone. 257 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: Miles Murphy. Yeah, okay, because I want I want somebody 258 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: at the edge. Now I got well, I don't have 259 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: Jant Carter anymore because I took a quarterback in two. 260 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: But I'm hoping I'm gonna be able to go car 261 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: Richardson in this particular block draft I reserve later. Who 262 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: would you take it too as your quarterback? If you're 263 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: doing that, would I try? I agree with you about 264 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: Miles Murphy seven and the Harris one hundred. I mean 265 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: I think Miles big time players, two hundred and seventy 266 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: five pounds, can move inside if you need him to 267 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: to rush. I think he's very, very interesting. I'm I'm 268 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: gonna say this, between Richardson, Levis, and Stroud, I feel 269 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: like when we look at all those guys, yeah, Stroud 270 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: might be more ready, Richardson's not. Levis is an unfinished product, 271 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: but he's got a lot of raw skills. I think 272 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: you throw him in a bowl, mix them up, pick 273 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: one out. I'm not gonna say it doesn't matter, but 274 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: it's really hard to predict who's going to have the 275 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: best career right now. Now everybody's got an opinion. Yeah, 276 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: but you could easily say that Richardson at two, if 277 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: you're the right team, might be the right pick. Yeah, 278 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: Stroute is the right pick at number twelve or number 279 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: two for Richardson. That's a that's an interesting dilemma. It 280 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: also has what they did in free agency, that's at quarterback. Yeah, 281 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: I agree. I'll tell you this though. Here's what's gonna happen. 282 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: I could. I could promise you even if you got 283 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: and get a quarterback in free agency, and I don't 284 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: care who it is, we'll say it's Jimmy G. Just 285 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: go with it. Say it's Jimmy G. That's the one 286 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: that's rumored. Who knows. We're just playing a game here. 287 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: You and I got Jimmy G. And then you drafted 288 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson wherever you draft him. By preseason game number three, 289 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: because you know Richardson's gonna get quarters, two, three, four, whatever. 290 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: By preseason game number three, the fans will be clamoring, 291 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: when do we get to see Richardson? When does he start? Over? Garoppolo, 292 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: I promise you would start week one. Yeah, because it 293 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: would do that. That talk would start preseason game three, 294 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: would go through the buy before week one and on 295 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: into week one, and the very first time that Jimmy 296 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: had an off game or whatever the veteran is has 297 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: an off game, we want Richardson, We want Richardson. It 298 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: was weird because I can't rush. You can't rush it 299 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: with him? What you can't rush it? What's our only 300 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: other experience here? Really Watson in recent years, you know, 301 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: Mills was a different story. They drafted him third round. 302 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: He came into preseason games. He looked okay, but what 303 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: are you really getting here? You know, in look, third 304 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: round pick, what are the expectations with Watson? The expectations 305 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: were really high, and he was a third team quarterback 306 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: when he started. We all saw it. He came off 307 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: the bench against Carolina preseason opener and there was electricity 308 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: in the air. It wasn't like he played unbelievably great 309 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: and end game, but he made some plays. If Richardson 310 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: does that to your point in a preseason context, people 311 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: are gonna be clamoring. I don't care who's starting at 312 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: the time, no doubt. Okay, So we got two and 313 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: twelve I like our options. Actually, I like the way 314 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: you're thinking on this. Let's get to the top of 315 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: the second round. Second pick in the second round. Whether 316 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: you want to call it thirty three or thirty four, 317 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: I call it thirty four, but you call whatever you want. 318 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: Your thoughts at thirty four, second pick of the second round, 319 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: what you wanted to do, you've gone. You've gone defensive tackle, 320 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: quarterback or quarterback, some defensive end. What do we always 321 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: say needs fortification the interior of the offensive line. And 322 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Osiris Torrence from Florida. You're going that direction. Yeah, 323 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: I'm going in that direction because and you tell me 324 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: is he's a guard, but is gonna be a tackle? 325 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: He's definitely a guard. He's a guard. He's a guard. 326 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: There's no question about him. He is a guard. He 327 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: is a house I'll be honest. Mark, when I when 328 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: I was studying him in the summer, He's coming over 329 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: from Louisiana going to Florida, and I thought, man, he's 330 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: really like he's dominating these dudes in the Sun Belt 331 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: or whatever. Let's the USA. Whatever Louisiana's in right now 332 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: has changed over the years. But either way, like I'm 333 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: gonna keep an eye on this guy. I kind of 334 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: like him. I heard some things kind of in the 335 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: scouting world, like kind of like not not sure. Let's 336 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: see how he does against at Florida. First couple times 337 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: I watched him at Florida. I'm like, there's been a 338 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: lot of love about this guy. I'm not I don't know, man, 339 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: not all the way there on this. And then he 340 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: went against Jallen Carter m and he was the one 341 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: guy against Jallen Carter that acts held up against him. 342 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he made mince meat of Tennessee's interior guys 343 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: like Jerome Carvin's still trying to block him, and he 344 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: could have brought help from everywhere. Wasn't gonna happen. That's 345 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: really the game that for me kind of turned it 346 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: for us. IRUs Then I saw him the Senior Bowl 347 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, he looks I don't know, 348 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: maybe like off it's alignment differently, But I'm like, but 349 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: there are times where it's just he's overextended. He just 350 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: gets yanked down. It shouldn't happen. And there are times 351 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: where he is a rock, blitzing linebackers or even just 352 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifteen pounders just hit him and he just, 353 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he just stones him. I'm trying to figure 354 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: out his exact comp and I've I've tossed around a few. 355 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: Larry Warford, who he was from Kentucky, played with the 356 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: Lions and the Saints. He's one guy I've thought about. 357 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: But he's three hundred and forty two pounds mark. I mean, 358 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: he's an enormous, enormous it's a big guards five. When 359 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: he was at the at the Senior Bowl, he measured 360 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: in at six to four and seven eight, so basically 361 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: six five three thirty seven thirty four in charms. He's 362 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: not going to tackle, that is not he is. He's 363 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: a guard. Oh you know who I comped him too, Ironically, 364 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: they were teammates in Louisiana. I didn't think about it 365 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: until after I wrote this. Uh, Dolphin's guard Robert Hunt. Okay, 366 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: Robert Hunt is the guy that I would I would 367 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: comp him to the They're pretty similar. I think it's 368 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: a little bit better athlete, but I think Torrence is 369 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 1: a he's a maller, So yeah, I would go with that. 370 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: I know there are some people screaming right now, going 371 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: you haven't drafted a wide receiver. Oh my gosh, calm down, 372 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: we got another few picks. Here, are you gonna take 373 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: a wide receiver? You're gonna see everybody's nerves at this point. Well, 374 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: I'll get to the third round, all right, coming up? Okay, 375 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: let's let's let's go with that. If you did go 376 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: to the wide receiver. I think it's really interesting there, Mark, 377 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: because you could have any number of options. And again 378 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: with that second pick in the second round, here's one. 379 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: Here's another one of your options too, and that is 380 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: to trade back into the first round. If you see 381 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: a receiver that you like, or you Seelawrence and you 382 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 1: really like him, and you feel like, man, we're not 383 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna get him at this spot, especially because the Bears 384 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: are in front of us in the second round. No, No, 385 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: that's the Steelers, Steelers Chase Claypool. Trade. Is somebody gonna 386 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: snatch him before there? Hey, we can move up five spots. 387 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: All we gotta give up is this to make sure 388 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: we get him. We get him in the first round, 389 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: and we got a great Thursday night. I can see 390 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: that happening too. But I think the receiver gets I 391 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: think receiver gets really, really interesting with all the different options. 392 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: I do think that that receivers, I think you're gonna 393 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,479 Speaker 1: run well to combine. I think that's gonna give them 394 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: a little bit more juice. But I think in the end, 395 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: I think receivers I don't want to say fall in 396 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: this draft, but I do think there's not gonna be 397 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: that run. So they're gonna be spread out, so I 398 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: think you're gonna get I think a receiver is gonna 399 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: get pushed down at the top of the second round, 400 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: like Jackson Smith and Jig but potentially Jalen highat event. 401 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: Potentially you can have a couple of those those type 402 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: players that fall down to you at that spot that boy, man, 403 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: do I want Will Fuller two Doto who stayed healthy, 404 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: and Jalen Hyatt. But that would be kind of nice too. 405 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: But I like the fact that you thought trenches so 406 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: very nice. Okay, let's go to pick sixty five. All right, 407 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: pick sixty five, Johnny, you mentioned receivers falling. Here's a 408 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: receiver who's gonna fall and I'm gonna snatch him up. 409 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: And it's Tyler Scott from cincinnat I'm hoping he falls. 410 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: That's like right where I have him in the HARRISONEHND. 411 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: I think sixty one or sixty two, that's right there. 412 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,959 Speaker 1: So his comp I read, and you tell me if 413 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: you agree. Tyler Lockett. Once upon a time, Tyler Lockett 414 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: was a draftable player for the Texans and they did 415 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: not take him. Either that or he was grabbed right 416 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: before they were going to pick or whatever. But I 417 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: lamented that because I had him in a Vandermock coming 418 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: to the Houston Texans, and I followed his career with 419 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: great interest. It wasn't like Tyler Locke was a first 420 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: round draft choice, and either is Tyler Scott in this case. 421 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: But Tyler Scott five one eighty five can help the 422 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. But to make things interesting right now, I'll 423 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: give you two other names, and you tell me if 424 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: you would pick the player I just mentioned over Zay Flowers. Oh, okay, okay, 425 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: because Zay Flowers not a big guy, or Jayden Reid 426 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: from Michigan State Flowers from Boston College. Okay, here's the thing. 427 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: With all three of them fast quick, Tyler Scott might 428 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: be the fastest guy in this tired draft class not 429 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: named Devin Ah Chain. Devon Ah Chain from Texas A 430 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: and M ran ten point four one hundred back when 431 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: he was in high school. I think he may even 432 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: ran at um at Texas AM for the track team. 433 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's gonna be faster than Devon 434 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: ah Chain, somebody that could be as Tyler Scott. He's 435 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: gonna legit run the four threes. He can absolutely smoke. 436 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: He can fly. To me, more of a comparison to 437 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: will Fuller, size wise, usage wise, he was over twenty 438 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: yards a catch at Cincinnati throughout his career. He is 439 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: a true true deep threat. He's not a slot guy. 440 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, to me, came out of Kansas State as 441 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: more a slot guy. I think he's evolved out of that, 442 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't think that comp is on 443 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: at all at all. I think he's more will Fuller. 444 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: But would you take will Fuller? Absolutely? Okay, So here's 445 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: my here's my comp and I listen to me closely. People, 446 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: here's my comp to Zay Flowers on the field, Antonio Brown. Wow, 447 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: on the field, that's your conference. The field is Antonio Mark. 448 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: He's not a big guy. Watch him, okay, and tell 449 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: me that he didn't look like Antonio Brown. He is 450 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown to a t self wader kid, confident, his shake, 451 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: his moves. I mean he is electric. You're more excited 452 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: about him than Tyler Scott. Yeah, we're not getting say 453 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: Flowers to sixty five, No way. What about State Jaden Reid? Oh, 454 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: now he's got he's got legit juice at the Senior Bowl. 455 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: Couldn't cover him. I mean he he was like a 456 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: He was like a pitcher who could change speeds on 457 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: you so fast, Like you'd see a sixty five minar 458 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: change up in the next thing, you'd see ninety three 459 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: with movement two seamer and you're like what And he'd 460 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: do that all in the same route. He shook everybody. 461 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: I would I would love Jade Reid at sixty five. 462 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: He can also love him. Yes, absolutely, here's the other 463 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: guy that you didn't consider that I would at sixty five. 464 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: And I I know when he goes to the combine 465 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some sense of the Internet blew up 466 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Tank Dell University, Houston.

I mean guys were literally guessing 475 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: which direction they'd go to be able to cover them. 476 00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: So you could give me, You could give me any 477 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: those guys. If Zay Flowers is there at sixty five, 478 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,239 Speaker 1: I'll go run up to Nick's office and call New 479 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: York for him and tell them to drafts A Flowers. 480 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: No way he's getting there nowhere. And fact as a Flowers, 481 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: I'm not going fourteen to the Patriots. Reason why, Well, 482 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: I think there's more there. Patriots has chanced to work 483 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: with him out of the East West Shrine game. And 484 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: that's the other thing. Save Flowers could have let Boston 485 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: College kid big nil deal. Schools are offering a bunch 486 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: of nil deals. He said, Nope, Boston College took a 487 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: chance of me. I'm staying same thing. After the East 488 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: West East West offered him first, he accepted Senior Bowl 489 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: came in later, He's like, Nope, they offered me first. 490 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: I'm sticking with it. I like this guy, Yeah, I 491 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: love him. Unfortunately he's not gonna be there at sixty five. 492 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: But who's there at seventy three? Let'scuss that next right 493 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access. Welcome back this Friday, Nitie 494 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: of Texas All Access. I'm John that's Mark and it's 495 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: time to dive into number seventy three in a draft. 496 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: We're doing a three round mock and we've already gotten 497 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: aims that were considering Mark pretty electric selection at two 498 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: and twelve earlier. What say you now by number seventy three, 499 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: mister Vandamir is Antonio Johnson going to be there? No 500 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: safety from Texas and it will be nice if you 501 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: were there. And he is a safety Like he played 502 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: a lot of Nicholada A and M, but he's a safety, 503 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: all right, He's definitely a safety. Listen, I really, I 504 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: really got a fever for more Cowbell and more Deuce Vaughan. 505 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: Like I said earlier in the week, it's too early 506 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: to pull the Deuce von trigger. Yeah, I just know 507 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: this is my gut feeling that whoever takes them takes him. 508 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: Whenever they take him, he's gonna turn out to be 509 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: a phenomenal pick, and you're gonna say he should have 510 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: been a second rounder. That's just my feeling on him. 511 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying to take him in the second round 512 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: because that's the draft. You got to take the player 513 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 1: where you think you can get him and what the 514 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: value is. Now you can reach up a little bit, 515 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: I believe, because you want to get your guy if 516 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: you have that kind of conviction about it, but it 517 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: doesn't always work out. What about this Jayre Brown state, Okay, 518 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: I get him? Okay, Yeah, I think seventy three is 519 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: a good spot for him. He is just outside the 520 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: one hundred like he's he I think he's a one 521 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: oh three one oh four from me, because obviously I 522 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: don't go to just one hundred. But I think he 523 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: would be a very interesting fit in this defense, very interesting, 524 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: especially if you're keeping Jaye Patriot free safety um, because 525 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: you look at the forty nine ers. They drafted a 526 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: guy named Telenoah Hafonga, who I love coming out of 527 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: USC Brown reminds me a little bit of him. He's 528 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: more of a box guy, but can make some plays 529 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: in a deep secondary. If you need him to try 530 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: out JayR. Brown, I keep want to call him JayR. 531 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: Alexander because that's Packers. JayR. Brown would be a very 532 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: interesting safety. I'll give you another one if you think 533 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: it's safe. Could I go GM And you're the coach 534 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say, hey, coach, I'm gonna give you 535 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: two players, okay, and the other player would be Taj Spears, 536 00:26:53,320 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: So you get to do this to me have other needs. 537 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: They have other needs. They have a lot of stuff 538 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: they want to fortify here. But you have TAJE. Spears 539 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: and the crosshairs, and you know he's gonna be good. 540 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: Does even last I don't know to the mid third round. 541 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: I remember you're you're getting at one of my top 542 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: three on the crush list. Man. I mean you talk 543 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: about electric at the Senior Bowl. So they would do 544 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: this thing at the Senior Bowl. Luke Gets he was 545 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: the coach of the Bears, and and Duce Daley did 546 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: this when he was coaching the Lions. The year before 547 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: they would go through activation and after activation, they would 548 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: do a one on one competition kind of get everybody 549 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: fired up, right, So they had Taja Spears against I 550 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: think he was Servassier Dennis from pitt and it was 551 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: a one on one pass coverage pastory offense coverage for 552 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: the defense. Taja Spears runs what looks like a flat 553 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: route and the linebacker sees it. Dennis sees it perfectly. 554 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: He runs right to the spot. Spears stops on a dime, 555 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: cuts back inside, wide open catch and off you go. 556 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: And at the Senior Bowl it gets to a point 557 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: where it's very it's kind of quiet, kind of quiet. 558 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: Spears made that move and this oh that reverberated throughout 559 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: the entire stadium. It was phenomenal. I would very much 560 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: take tyshe Spears right after what he did to USC. 561 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: I mean, mark down a stretch against against Cincinnati. I mean, 562 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: it was phenomenal what this guy did because he had 563 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: there were key games down to stretch. Tou Lane lost 564 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: to UCF in a big, big game, and after that, 565 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: basically Tulane had to win out. That's essentially what they 566 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: had to do. So over the last four games of 567 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: the year, they had to beat Cincinnati to get into 568 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: the AC Championship game. He carried it thirty five times 569 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: for one hundred eighty one yards two touchdowns. Then they 570 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: had to beat UCF in the AC game to get 571 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: to a New Year's Day six game. He had twenty 572 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: two carries for one hundred ninety nine yards and a touchdown. 573 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: Then against USC in the most important game in two 574 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: lane history in a Cotton Bowl, seventeen carries for two 575 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: hundred and five yards and four touchdowns. I wrote this 576 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: in his in his Gutner report. Everyone in the building 577 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: in those three games knew exactly who was getting the ball, 578 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: and he still beat all of them, all of them. 579 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: I'll take Spears. He's going high spears with Piers. Oh yeah, 580 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: I know. I'm worried about that. Now. What what can 581 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: always worry you about a draft pick? Off the field? 582 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: Concerns not a concern with him. Injuries is the other 583 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: Those are the two. He's had two season ending injuries 584 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: during his career. He's had an ACL. They want to say, 585 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: maybe had an ACL twice. So you do worry about that? 586 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: Got the John. I know you hope that's the thing, 587 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, you you put Spears, you construct an 588 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: offense where you've drafted Anthony Richardson with Damian Pierce and 589 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: Tyja Spears, and you're throwing the ball to a tank 590 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: Dell or Jaden Reid or Tyler Scott. With that juice, 591 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: you're you're gonna you're turning offense into a whole different 592 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: ball game at that point. That is gonna be fantastic. 593 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: Quick note for the listeners on how Metchi fits into 594 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: this or an offense. It's gonna be interesting how they 595 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: use him, And I'm not totally sure how how he'll 596 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: be used. There's a part of me that thinks they 597 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: might try and use him kind of like they did 598 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: with Debo, you know, use him in a backfield, take 599 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: put him in the backfield. Maybe I don't know, maybe 600 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: hand it to him if if you don't find a 601 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: guy that you want to Even with Elijah Mitchell, those 602 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: guys at in the roster, they still find a way 603 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: to get the ball to Deebo Samuel. But I think 604 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: Matchi will work out of the slot. I think some 605 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: of the things they do with Brandon Iu, even though 606 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: I use a little bit bigger, those are some of 607 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: the things I think you can do. I think I 608 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: use probably a little bit more sudden than Metchi is. 609 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: But Metchi's so smart he'll find open areas in zone. 610 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: I think he'll be able to beat Man coverage. I 611 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: think you can use Metchi in a lot of different 612 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: ways in this offense. But I don't want to get 613 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: to a point where I'm like, Okay, I'm relying on 614 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: John because he hasn't gotten cleared from the doctors yet. Right, 615 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: He has a played a game since December twenty one 616 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: because he had to deal with ACL So you got 617 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: that on top of you hasn't been cleared. If he 618 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: is cleared, if he is ready to go, I think 619 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: gots become huge for him, absolutely massive. That he can 620 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: have weeks of dealing with the coaches before a rookie 621 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: gets here and he can start learning the offense and 622 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: learning all that and just having a leg up in 623 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,239 Speaker 1: that competition, so to speak. So I'm not I'm not 624 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: writing him off by any means. I just know that 625 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: you totally you can't totally rely on It's like back 626 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: in twenty ten, we had an Inkling Arian was gonna 627 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: be pretty good. But what's the worst case if your 628 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: draft Ben Tate and now you got a one two combination. Yeah, 629 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: you know what happens if you go get a Jayden 630 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: Read or you get a tank Dell and met she. 631 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: She's good. Now you got both of them. I mean, 632 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: that would be pretty interesting to me. From that stamp. 633 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: It's like having a draft pick. That's what Nick Cassario 634 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: hasn't met she coming back, That's exactly what he has. 635 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: All right, let's learn a little bit more about your guy, 636 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson dpcit who sat down and learn more about 637 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: the Florida quarterback.

Honestly as 652 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: much Florida football as I can help with. We're going 653 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: to talk about some Anthony Richardson. But first of all, 654 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: I did not interview you last year, and the Texans 655 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: end up taking Damian Pierce with a fourth round pick. 656 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't know about you, but I 657 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: think here in Houston and Texans fans and even for 658 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: those of us in the building, we didn't really know 659 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: what to expect with a fourth round pick, and he's 660 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: certainly surpassed all of our expectations. Pro Bowl alternate was 661 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: probably on his way to breaking a lot of rookie records, 662 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: maybe even offensive Rookie of the Year, of course, and 663 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: he had the ankle injury that sort of sidelined him. 664 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: But what if you thought about his career, were you 665 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: surprised by what you saw in Damian Pierce's rookie campaign? Viously? Nuts? Whatsoever? 666 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: I think he was pretty criminally underutilized while he was 667 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: at Florida. Truth be told, he really didn't average more 668 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: than ten carries per game. In fact, he didn't at 669 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: all during his final season until former head coach Dan 670 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: Mullen was let go, and they immediately realized, Hey, this 671 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: guy is breaking like three tackles every time he runs 672 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: the ball. Maybe we should get him the ball a 673 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: little bit more. And all of that being said, you know, 674 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: he didn't really have too much tread on his tires 675 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: when he was coming into the league. And we've seen 676 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: running backs come you know, anywhere from second to third, 677 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: to fifth to seventh to undrafted. At this point, we 678 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: see running backs breaking through from any round they come from. 679 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: And his lack of mileage at that point compaired with 680 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: his skill set, you know, he's a good athlete, obviously, 681 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: extremely physical rusher. I just thought the guy was a 682 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: limit for him. And when he made it to Houston too, 683 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: it just seemed like such a great fit that I 684 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: truly wasn't too surprised, but still to see him gets 685 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: stuff like the angry run of the Year, that's just 686 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,760 Speaker 1: that's really awesome. Yeah, I mean, so much fun to watch. 687 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: Another really intriguing draft prospect, obviously, quarterback Anthony Richardson. And 688 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: you know, he's just so interesting because I feel like, 689 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: there's not a lot known about him. He doesn't really 690 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: have a lot of games under his belt, and the 691 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: ceiling is so high. So with that being said, how 692 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: important is this NFL combine, the interview process, Pro Day, 693 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,919 Speaker 1: the entire offseason going to be for Anthony Richardson really 694 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: solidifying his draft stock. That's the thing. You're right, there's 695 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 1: just not that much out there about him, but the combine, 696 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 1: Pro Day and ultimately teams getting him in meetings is 697 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: going to unlock quite a bit more. He's a player that, 698 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: going back to his high school career, has dealt with 699 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: plenty of injuries, some of them that really weren't attended 700 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: to the way that maybe they should have been, especially 701 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: in his knee. We saw this past year handed up 702 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: needing to have a full surgery on his meniscus because 703 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: it never healed properly from his time in high school. 704 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: And yet, even with that in mind, and while he 705 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: dealt with a hamstring in twenty twenty one in a 706 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: backup role, he was clocked rushing twenty one miles per 707 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: hour on an eight yard touchdown run. We've seen him 708 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: throw the ball at the Manning Passing Academy, a good 709 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: seventy to eighty yards with velocity like it's nothing. So 710 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: when you think about the quarterbacks that are taking over 711 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: the NFL right now, whether it's and again, and I 712 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: don't mean to compare him directly to these guys, obviously 713 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: there's a lot of work ahead, but everyone's looking for 714 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 1: that that Patrick Mahomes, the Josh Allen, the Lamar Jackson, 715 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, mobility, whether it's throwing power, whether 716 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: it's just something special. They can do that your average 717 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: quarterback can't do that unlocks of defense. I believe that's 718 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,720 Speaker 1: what Demiko Ryan's actually said at one point in an interview. 719 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: That's what the league is looking for. And while Richardson 720 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 1: has a lot of work to do, you know, he's 721 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: got I think twelve career starts maybe thirteen careers arts 722 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 1: under his belt at this point. He's got a lot 723 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: he can improve on. He brings that skill set to 724 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: the table that you just don't come across often. That's 725 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: where the intrigue gets. So he declares for the NFL Draft, 726 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: And what is there to be gained for him declaring 727 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: this year as opposed to staying at Florida for another year? 728 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: And you know, If he does, he obviously is going 729 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: to be in the NFL. Where does he need to 730 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,839 Speaker 1: immediately improve the most? Yeah, I think I think the 731 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: injuries are a big part of it. You know, he's 732 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: he's been clocked rushing a four point four or forty 733 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: yard dash before Lamar Jackson's four point four one. I 734 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: think the fastest of all time was Mike Vick at 735 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: like four point three five or something like that. When 736 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: Richardson runs that, which I firmly believe he's going to 737 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: run something right around there, that that's going to solidify 738 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 1: him as a top ten pick, especially in a class 739 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: where there's no real solidified one and two. These guys 740 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: are the cream of the crop at quarterback. That's going 741 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: to boost him up tremendously. And I think that you 742 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: pair that with the understanding of his you know, of 743 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: his injury history, of where Florida is as a program. 744 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: They're not exactly winning the national championships they did in 745 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: the two thousands. At this point, he saw what was 746 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: in front of him. It was too much to pass 747 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: up at this point, and I don't necessarily blame him 748 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: for doing that, But when it gets to you know, 749 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 1: getting to the league I think I've seen a lot 750 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: of people discuss the idea that he might need to 751 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: sit and learn, kind of like how Mahomes did in 752 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: Kansas City. I don't necessarily see that as the case. 753 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: I think he's a quarterback that's really not that seasoned, 754 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: but he's got these physical skills that if something breaks down, 755 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: he can still do miraculous things. The only way he's 756 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: going to fix, you know, whether it's making full field 757 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: reads or maybe putting a little less zip on a 758 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: ball and throwing with more touch, because it's misconstrued with 759 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: his accuracy at times, but I think it's more about 760 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: the actual type of throw he's trying to make that 761 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: can adjust that because he's got uncanny accuracy on deep 762 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: throws in different ones we've seen before. But all of 763 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: these things really, at the end of the day, can't 764 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: be solved by sitting by watching another quarterback play. I 765 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: think he's going to have to get into a situation 766 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: where he's got some talent around him that can elevate 767 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,280 Speaker 1: him a bit, and in return, he just gets to work. 768 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: He gets to work with a good coach on the 769 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: things that he needs to improve on. I mean, we've 770 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: heard so much about his physical attributes and what he 771 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: brings to the table. But in your time covering him, 772 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: is there a particular game or moment or play that 773 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: really stands out to you. There are those highlight plays, 774 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: you know, there's that Utah spin get out of a 775 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: sack in the whole hoop law that amazes everyone. But 776 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: he did something like that every game. I mean against LSU. 777 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: He broke off on another eight yard touchdown run where 778 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 1: you'd like, crossed the field, broke a bunch of tackles, 779 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: fastest player on the field as a six four, two 780 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: hundred thirty five pound quarterback. You just don't hear about 781 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: that LSU. In twenty twenty one, he ended up stepping 782 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: in from his backup role because the starter was struggling. 783 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: Florida was down a couple of scores, and he turned 784 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: it into a shootout. It was a forty nine to 785 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: forty two I believe game in the end LSU one. 786 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: But he was the only reason why Florida contended in 787 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 1: that game from the second half on. There there are 788 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: a lot of moments like that. You pair them with 789 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: the flaws. You know. There are games where his completion 790 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: percentage was sub fifty and again, I think a lot 791 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: of that can go a lot can go into that. 792 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily all on Richardson. But at the end 793 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: of the day, he's just got room to grow because 794 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: of the lack of experience, because of the hamperman to 795 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: his development along the way that no matter where he goes, 796 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 1: he's just going to need to get as many reps 797 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: as possible to continue to grow. Or I think we 798 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: all remember we've heard the story about Anthony Richardson spraining 799 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,280 Speaker 1: his knee while dancing in the hotel before a game, 800 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: spraining his knee, had to miss a few games. I 801 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: know he's had the injury history with the knee, but 802 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, how much should teams worry about his maturity 803 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: and or you know, but did he do enough to 804 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: really dispel that criticism last year? I mean, I think 805 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: it's worthwhile, especially because of how young he is again 806 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 1: and how inexperienced he is, and not to mention that 807 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: the ever growing platform for college athletes, you know, they 808 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 1: are superstars now more than ever, and that's a lot 809 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: of stress on a guy. He's twenty one. I mean, 810 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: he's going to be twenty two, I believe in May 811 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: so he's he's certainly been in the spotlight for quite 812 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: some time. But that was a perfect example. You know, 813 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,439 Speaker 1: he was doing cart wheels and back flips and this 814 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: was the knee that he had previously hurt before that 815 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,840 Speaker 1: that was not treated right. But regardless, you know, he 816 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: knew the pain was there. It was nagging him throughout 817 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: the season, and he took that risk and it came 818 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: back to bite him. And I think that that was 819 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: a huge lesson for him. I saw him personally mature 820 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: just within you know, the true spotlights, starting quarterback role 821 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: he was in. But you know, there's so much that 822 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: I can answer there either because I don't know him 823 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 1: too well personally, but I saw, you know, he wasn't 824 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: he wasn't doing cart wheels anymore for sure after that injury. 825 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: And he represented himself very well. He was very accountable 826 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: on a microphone. He from start to finish. I think 827 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: he understood his role on how much it meant to 828 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,720 Speaker 1: the University of Florida, especially to be a quarterback wearing fifteen, 829 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, and all things considered, he inducted himself very 830 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: well once he had that spotlight on him. Well, you know, 831 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 1: I have two good knees, and I saw his dance 832 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 1: because he tweeted it out, and I wouldn't I would 833 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: not even try it with two good knees. So maybe 834 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: that's a lesson to be learned for a future. But 835 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: all right, before I let you go, what about other 836 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: prospects from Florida that Texans fans should be watching out for? Yeah, 837 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: Florida's got ten draft prospects this year, including Richardson, a 838 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: couple of guys that are expected to go in that 839 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: first second round range, offensive lineman Osirius Torrence, a guard 840 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: who graded out very well at the Senior Bowl, and 841 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: left hackle Richard Garage also graded out well there but 842 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily have as much hype as Torrance coming the offseason. 843 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: A couple of offensive linemen there that in general I 844 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: think could really boost a team. Several defensive players of 845 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: varying experience, from Ventral Miller and Amari Bernie to Trey Dean, 846 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: Rashad Torrance, and Jervon Dexter. It's a pretty versatile group 847 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 1: of Florida prospects this year that I'm honestly expecting to 848 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: hear from start to finish throughout the draft. All Right, Good, 849 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: stuff Za Goodall. He covers Florida Gators for Sports Illustrated, 850 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: Span Nation.
