It's the greatest thing 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:21.840 since Skyline becoming the official chili of the Cincinnati Bengals. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.160 Gold Star was a great partner with the Bengals organization 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.720 for more than two decades, but let's face it, Skyline 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.520 is the most popular brand of Cincinnati styled chili, and 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.440 now Bengals fans will be able to get Skyline Chili 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:41.160 cheese Cony's at concession stands throughout pay Course Stadium.

I think I will celebrate by 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.600 having my standard order a four way with light onion, 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.880 and I put one cracker on each forkfull to add 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.720 a little salt and crunch, and in case Ius you're interested, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:06.560 I cut, not twirl. Now let's get to the Bengals 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.920 first round draft pick, Clemson defensive end Miles Murphy. He's 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.079 six four, two hundred and sixty eight pounds and ran 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.920 a four five three forty at his pro day. Murphy 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.120 had six and a half sacks last year, seven the 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:27.200 year before, and he's only twenty one years old. Dane 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.360 Brugler from the Athletic wrote the following about Murphy in 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:34.000 his Draft Guide quote. He is naturally gifted with the 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:38.800 explosive traits play, speed, and length to be a disruptive, 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.680 leverage power rusher in the NFL. He projects as a 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.840 base end and a four man front with the floor 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.560 of an NFL starter. Greg Cosel from NFL Films calls 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:55.200 Murphy a solid defensive end prospect with excellent size, length, 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.960 and overall athleticism who needs refinement work as an edge 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:04.120 pass rusher to become a high level player in the NFL. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.160 Here's Bengals head coach Zach Taylor on getting Murphy at 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.639 pick number twenty eight. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.679 This was in a scenario we thought was going to 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.240 play out for us, To be quite honest with you, 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.280 you know, it's anything can happen, and but you know, 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.760 in all of our discussions we had over the previous days, 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.440 I didn't think that Miles Murphy was gonna be there 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.959 at twenty eight. I think that's what you know, Duke 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.160 does a great job of is laying it out and 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.080 in talking about it. Five picks before, four picks before shoot. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.880 I think eight picks before is when we really started 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.400 the conversation and you're watching guys get checked off the 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.920 board and some are. Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.640 it's a bad thing. But I think we had a 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.720 high degree of confidence that if he was there, we 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.280 were going to take him and feel really good about it. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.720 He came in here on a visit, so we've met 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.600 with him a couple of times, felt really good about 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.160 all the things that come with that. So again, just 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.400 just excited that he was there. At twenty eight for us. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.280 There were only three teams in the NFL that had 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.040 fewer sacks than Cincinnati last year, and the Bengals finished 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:06.040 twenty first in past rush win rate. Here's defensive coordinator 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.800 lou Anromo at how Murphy can help. 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.640 Oh, he'll be in the rotation right away. You know, 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.400 we play a ton of d linemens, so you know 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.040 he'll he'll jump right in there, and you know, you know, 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.880 back up Sam and Trey and and get right in there, 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.839 like I said, in the mix with those guys and 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.280 being the in the third down rush package and you know, 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.360 whatever we come up with there. So I'm looking forward 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.600 to get him going right away. These great quarterbacks we 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.440 have to play, if they're back there in a clean pocket, 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.280 they're gonna pick your part, no matter how well you're 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.320 covering them. So to move them around, to get them 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.839 off their spot, to sack them and pressure them and 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.320 hit them. That's the only way you really can affect 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.400 these guys. So he's just another one along the lines. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.520 We've got some darn good ones already, as I mentioned 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.159 with Trey and Sam and Joseph and and that group. 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.800 So this guy will jump right in there. He checks 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.200 all the boxes from a measurable standpoint, and you add 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.560 that with his makeup as a as a guy and 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.320 as a player teammate, those things. You know, that's what 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.719 kind of brings was brought a high level of you 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.480 know that we liked them the way we did. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.600 The Bengals Booth podcast is brought to you by Kettering Health, 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.680 the official healthcare provider of the Bengals.

Murphy did not 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.720 attend the draft in Kansas City. His family rented out 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.120 a club and hosted a party for roughly one hundred 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.520 and seventy people. Miles says he was thrilled to be 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.359 selected in the first round and go to a team 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.800 that's been to back to back AFC Championship games. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.200 I'm gonna say, like they you know, they have they 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.680 have all the pieces to be a consistent two of 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.240 old contender AFC Championship contender. But I just want to 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.839 be that. I do want to be that finishing piece 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.920 piece that you know, just you know, put push them over, 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.800 puts them over over, and pass that lest being a 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.920 consistent Super Bowl contender and it conses the Super Bowl 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.240 winner every year. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.440 One thing that defensive coordinator lou Ana Rimo said in 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.080 his press conference a couple of minutes ago Miles was 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.680 that he expects you to come in and contribute right away. 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.800 What gives you the confidence and what in your career 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.000 at Clemson leads you to believe you'll be able to 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.760 contribute right away in your rookie year. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.440 Well, that's that's been my expectation for the longest. About 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.040 to say ever since school. I had a mission to 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.080 come in and start dominate every year that I was 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.120 in college, and I still have a mission to come 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.360 in and do what I need to do to dominate 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.200 every down that's that's my that's all I've been my mission, 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:44.480 I was going to be my mission moving forward. 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.440 I imagine you've dreamed of this moment for a long time. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.560 Can you describe the phone call it was? 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.680 I can't. I can't even explain it to you. It 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:57.760 was a whole bunch of emotions going for my body. 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.400 I was I was really shaken on the phone call. 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.080 I couldn't even tew words thout, but really just exciting. Really, 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.520 I'm just ready to play football. I just want to 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.600 play football, man. That's really, that's really my initial reaction 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.720 to man. I just I want to play football. Let's 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:16.200 be taking wherever, wherever, at whatever number, wherever I'm playing. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:17.880 I just want to play football, man. That's all I 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:18.520 want to do right now. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.200 These visits kind of run all together. 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.400 But when you left your visit with the Bengals, did 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.600 you have a good feeling that you might be in 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:26.240 play for them? 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.480 I mean I had a good knowing that they liked me. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.480 And when I was jail, I really loved the city, 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.480 love the coaches. Already already knew ulin coach did, so 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:38.920 you know, I feel comfortable when I was at a 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:39.560 whole time. 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.040 My House is expected to arrive in Cincinnati on Saturday. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.160 The Bengals Booth podcast is brought to you by pay Corps. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.560 More than twenty nine thousand customers trust Paycurp to help 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:56.600 them recruit, pay, engage, and retain employees.

One of 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.080 the best cornerbacks was still on the board, Joey Porter Junior. 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.760 He was ranked number sixteen on Dame Brugler's board, six 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.800 three thirty four inch arms. Everybody seemed to think he 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.160 was going to be a first round pick. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:30.120 Obviously. 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.599 The great tight end from Comington Catholic High School and 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.560 Notre Dame, Michael Meyer, was still on the board. He 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.160 had been mocked to Cincinnati on various mock drafts forever, 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:42.559 but they went with a pass rusher in Miles Murphy. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:47.199 Why well, you know, Dan, I think we talked about, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.960 you know, during the course of our interviews with each 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.160 other leading up to the draft. That has definitely become 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.160 a quarterback driven league, not that it wasn't before. When 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.040 you're paying guys fifty million a year, you know, it's 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.440 like that. That's that's where the game is. The game 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.560 is in the air, there's no doubt about it. So 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.480 you try to do everything you possibly can to affect 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.360 the quarterback. The Bengals have one of the best in 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.079 the NFL and Joe Burrow, but in the a SC 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:20.040 there's Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, now josh Allen, Lamar Jackson's 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:27.240 reapted with Baltimore Herbert to Lawrence Watson. You know, he's 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.840 got the most guaranteed money of anybody up in Cleveland. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.200 They're expecting big things out of him. Denver just expecting 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.160 a rebound season from Wilson. So, I mean, the AFC 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.839 is loaded with outstanding quarterbacks that are capable of out 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:45.480 standing quarterback play. So two, the thing you have to 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.800 do is pressure them, get them off their spot, hasten 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:54.120 their reads, make them make poor, poorer decisions. And you know, 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.400 so you need edge rush guys, and you need corners 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.240 to make the windows tighter. And there's a good chance 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:04.040 they'll probably go corner, maybe in round two potentially instead 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.040 of the order being corner then edge rusher. 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:07.880 They've got their edge rusher. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.520 Now they may think corner because you know, when you 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.479 look at it, Dan, in the top one hundred picks, 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:18.320 fifteen corners were projected to potentially go in those top 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.880 one hundred picks the first two days of the draft, 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.960 and at this point in time only four are off 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.760 the board, which is pretty remarkable. 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.840 So at some point here there's. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.600 Going to be a run on corners, and you just 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.120 wonder and hope that it doesn't take place before the 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.360 Bengals are maybe ready for a selection at number sixty. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:42.880 But fourteen offensive players went off the board, seventeen defensive 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.920 players went off the board. The Bengals were a participant 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:51.319 in the biggest participatory position, edge rush. Seven edge rush 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.960 guys go off the board in round one. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.800 That's pretty telling. Miles Murphy's sack numbers were solid, but 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.200 not spectacular. He had seventeen and a half sex in 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.840 his three years, but he had thirty seven tackles for 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.360 loss double digits every year. He forced six fumbles. He 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:14.640 just celebrated his twenty first birthday on January third. At 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.000 his pro day, he measured sixty four to two hundred 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.520 and seventy one pounds. He ran a four five three forty. 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.400 Let's put that in perspective. Cooper Cup ran a four 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.000 to six to two at the Combine several years ago. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.200 So this guy is a freak. I think he's been 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.040 a very solid player, but obviously there's still the potential 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.800 for him to elevate his game and become more dominant. 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.840 No doubt, Dan, I mean, and the guy not only 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.160 does he have the long speed, a two hundred and 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.520 seventy pound guy running four to five come on, oh 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.320 my gosh, he's got you know, he's got the short 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:54.120 space quickness, he's got the short space agility you know, 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.000 to go along with it. And he's an explosive player. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.760 He's a disruptive player. He can kind of trait and 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.600 riek havoc. And the tackles for loss that you're referencing, 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:08.040 not just the quarterback sacks. Two Power five players recorded 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.320 at least thirty five tackles for lost and at least 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.960 six to four s fumbles across the last three college 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.320 football seasons. He was one of them. He's the only 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.000 player in the country to produce at least ten tackles 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.400 for lost and at least one forced bumble in each 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.720 of the last three seasons. So he's done it, and 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.200 he's done it consistently. Not a one hit wonder, not 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:33.200 one year of like amazing productivity, but every single year 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:34.160 he'll give it to you. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:35.199 And I agree. 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.240 At twenty one years old, I mean, his best football 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:43.880 is still way ahead of him. So there's development there, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.079 there's upside potential there. And when you look at it, Dan, 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:54.480 the Bengals organization has had success drafting Clemson players. They've 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.600 had coaches from Clemson. In fact, coach Hobby, the defensive 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:04.360 line coach, knows Miles Murphy and his ability's pretty darn well. 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:09.000 And when you've had success with coaches and players from 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.559 a university or college, you keep going back to it. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.840 And the Bengals have gone on record saying we like 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:20.320 to draft players from big schools that have achieved and 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:24.440 earned success. And they won national championships and played at 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.040 the highest level. And so it's all worked and they 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:28.160 went to the Clemson. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:33.200 Well again, let's talk about Miles Murphy's role. This year. 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.800 Sam Hubbard played more than eight hundred snaps in the 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.640 regular season. Last year, he was in on nearly eighty 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.680 percent of the Bengals defensive snaps. He'll be twenty eight 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.839 in June. Trey Hendrickson has already twenty eight. He played 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.480 six hundred and twenty nine snaps in the regular season, 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.840 even though he missed a game due to injury, and 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.360 he battled injuries throughout much of the year. How helpful 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.520 is it to those guy to get those two guys 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.840 to get somebody else in the rotation that can legitimately 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.440 not only pressure the quarterback, but it's big enough to 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:02.480 play the run if needed. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.520 Yeah, it's it's it's massive, it really is. I mean, 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.640 you keep guys fresh, you know, in the second half 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.000 and in the fourth quarter. In the National Football League 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.520 usually games are one score games, so you need guys 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.440 to to to be able to just you know, put 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.720 on that burst one needed in that fourth quarter and uh, 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.000 you know you don't usually experience. Oh let's stick it 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.480 and cruise control and just cruise through the rest of 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.000 this football game. I mean, you're you're playing at an 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:36.000 intense level every single snap and in most NFL football games, 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:40.840 so you cannot have enough good edge rush people, interior 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:46.480 defensive alignement, cornerbacks in coverage and uh. You know, in 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:52.040 speaking about how the numbers uh went down with respect 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.120 to the draft defensive tackles and edge rush guys, you 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.400 know you had eleven guys already off the board for 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:05.200 defense tackles, seven edge rush guys, four cornerbacks. That's fifteen 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.720 players right there on the defensive side of it. You 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.520 want to have as many of them as you possibly 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.440 can on your roster, There's no. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:13.960 Doubt about it. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.840 And the thing is lou Aana Rumo uses them all. 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:21.920 And the versatility that Miles Murphy provides. With that athleticism, 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.360 lou Ana Roumo has got another chess piece to work with. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:28.320 He can play on the edge, he can kick inside, 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.600 he can cover in the flat. And when now that 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:37.200 Jackson has re signed with Baltimore, that five defensive lineman package, 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.480 you got a lot of guys out there and you 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.240 want to rotate guys in there. And Miles Murphy with 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.360 that four five forty, he's got the short space quickness 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.440 to effect Lamar Jackson. He can also run him down. 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.960 You know, He's got the speed and to run people 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.240 down on the football field. He's got short space quickness 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.440 and he's got long speed. That's a heck of a combination. 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.960 And a guy that's both to six ' five and 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.840 probably over two hundred and seventy pounds. 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:04.040 That's it's remarkable. 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:08.160 Daniel Jeremiah had Murphy at number twenty one on his 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.760 final big board. Who was the same for Dane Brugler 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.480 from the Athletic number twenty one on his final big board. 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.760 Do you figure that the Bengals Can we take them 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.360 at their word when they say that they had him 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.080 grated much higher than number twenty eight? 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:22.520 Yeah? I think so. 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.840 You know, in the in the pressure last night and 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:29.400 asked him where in the first round did you say, 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.280 Miles Murphy, we'd like this to be our guy, and 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.720 when did you target him? And they said, like a 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.320 round pick twenty. You know, it was like, boy, Miles 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.840 Murphy's still there. Let's this is the guy we want. 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.600 They covered Miles Murphy. Let's go after Miles Murphy. There 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.880 he was at twenty eight, and there probably were some 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:56.680 phone calls about, you know, about trading back. They decided 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.440 not to do that and they made that pick, I 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.240 mean a minute and they were all over it. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:02.520 There was. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.359 All the decisions have been made. They ran up to 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:10.520 that ran up to the to the hit hand, that 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.600 pick in as fast as they possibly could, and Miles 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.280 Murphy is now Cincinnati Bengal. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.080 All right, let's look ahead to rounds two and three 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.080 coming up on Friday night. You mentioned the corners, A 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.480 lot of them still there. Joey Porter still on the board. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.560 I can't imagine he will get to pick sixty, but 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.399 he's there for now. But you've still got Keeley Ringo, 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:33.960 DJ Turner, Julius Brandts, Tyreek, Stevenson, Cam Smith, Clark Phillips, 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.520 and others. There are a lot of tight ends still 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.960 on the board. Sam Laporta, Luke Musgrave, Tucker Kraft, Luke Schoonmaker, 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.000 Josh Wiley, Will Mallory. You've got a lot of running 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.359 backs still on the board, Zach Sharbonay, Devin ad Shane, 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:52.160 Taja Spears, Take Bigsby Roe, Sean Johnson. Do you figure 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.760 the Bengals second round pick will come from one of 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.960 those positions? And if so, which one do you think 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:00.080 is most likely? 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:01.600 Yeah? 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:06.760 You know all the quote experts and then others that 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:10.520 I talked to, I mean, top one hundred picks. Ten 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.160 to twelve tight ends, all right, might be available. One 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.600 is off the board at this point in time. Fifteen 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.920 cornerbacks may be available. Four or off the board at 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.400 this point in time. You know, you got to think, man, 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.840 you know we've already took an edge guy, took took 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:33.000 you know, the twelve defensive ends, ten defensive tackles, twenty 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.159 two down linemen might be available in the top one 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.639 hundred picks, half of them have already been consumed. So 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.760 you know, our thought, Dan, I think we were in 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:44.760 the same school of thought that it was, you know, 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.679 going to be defense, alright, defecting the quarterbacks. Like we 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.639 already talked about somebody on the edge and somebody in 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.240 the back end and might have been corner first and 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.639 then edge rush guy might reverse itself out, could be 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.200 edge guy and then corner. So there's a good chance, no, 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:04.280 there could be a cornerback that that that might be available. 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.439 But you know, you look at it, there's there's positions 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.919 that have not been addressed. There has not been a 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.879 safety drafted. There's not been a center drafted, has not 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.560 been a guard drafted. But on the back end, there's 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.520 not been a safety drafted, So all of those safeties 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.880 are in play as well. And a lot of those 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:26.040 safeties can play slot corner and they give position versatility. 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.600 A lot of them aren't just you know, you know, 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.240 big bodied, very stiff safeties on the back end. 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.080 These guys are very versatile football players. 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.960 And lou Anroumo once again, there's a lot of things 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.159 with those safeties back there in terms of his his 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.600 big chess board. So they've got they've got options. They've 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.560 got options back there that have not in some cases 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:52.920 haven't even been addressed whatsoever. No safeties, one tight end, 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.200 just four corners. It'll be very interesting to see when 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.520 the runs start and the order that they start in. 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:04.320 But Levis is on the board still mayor quarter branch 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:08.280 like you talked about. I mean, that's gonna everybody's resetting 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:11.000 their boards and they're saying, wow, we didn't expect this 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:13.879 gotta be there, This gotta be there. It's gonna push 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.080 some people back in the Bengals, it might be quite 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.160 interesting to see what's unearthed and left at number sixty. 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.560 We did not get our wishes in round one. You 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.080 had targeted two players, Lucas van Ness, the pass rusher, 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.399 out of Iowa. He went thirteenth to Green Bay. You 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.560 also liked Emmanuel Forbes, the cornerback from Mississippi State. He 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:38.280 went sixteenth to Washington. I had ultimately settled on Elijah Cansei, 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:42.040 the defensive tackle from pitt He went nineteenth to Tampa Bay. 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.520 So our three guys all went in the top twenty. 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.000 I think we're kind of an agreement for who we 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:50.399 have our fingers crossed about for round two, and that 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.680 is tight end Sam Laporta out of Iowa. If he 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.320 could somehow make it to number sixty, I'd look at 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.200 him and I see Mark Andrews, the great receiving weapon 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.760 for the Baltimore Ravens. Is that your guy? Are we 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:04.800 in agreement that Sam Laporta would kind of be the 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:06.600 fantasy if he somehow makes it to sixty. 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.040 I mean he's got to be in the discussion. 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.560 I mean if he makes it to six yet, you 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.720 know you think he'd be gone somewhere in the mid forties. 0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:18.320 Uh at the worst case scenario with just one tight 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.880 end off the board at this point in time, well, 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.240 you know, will when will the tight end run happen? 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.000 Uh? There's going to be a run. 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:30.240 Uh, but yeah, Laporte is a guy that got good 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:34.040 sized uh sub four six runs in the four fives. 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:39.480 He's a very good hands, good after the catch. A 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:43.520 lot of mistackles, a lot of broken tackles comes from Iowa. 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:46.960 You know, you got Kittle, you got TJ. Howkinson. There's 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.679 a there's a pedigree there being a tight end from Iowa. 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:54.280 He did not his senior year, did not have much 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:58.000 at the quarterback position. His numbers suffered as a result. 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:02.679
