1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Well, if you love the first thirty two picks, the

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: intrigue in the action that we saw a Night one

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: of the NFL Draft, how about doubling that up with

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: seventy four picks on Night two of the NFL Draft.

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: Rounds two and three are now in the books. As

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: we welcome you to the Move the Sticks Podcast presented

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: by FedEx. What's going on? Everybody? I am Rehett lewis

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: here with my guys Bucky Brooks and Lance desser Line,

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: joining the late night party here tonight as we put

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: a bow on rounds two and three. Uh, fellas, how

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: did you guys take in what was a pretty fun

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: couple a couple of rounds here, and we saw things

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: started to get a bucky a little a little bit

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: more fast and furious as we dropped the time between

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: picks and Commissioner Roger Goodell just trying to keep up

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: with announcing all these things. He's usually he's usually done

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: after round one. You know. Yeah, it was a fascinating night.

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: It was a fascinating night because, um, I'm just very

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: very impressed with the execution of this in the verse

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: with draft, and I know it can be challenging because

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: when you get to day two and really in day three,

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: this is when the the general manager, the directors, they're

23
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: really lean on the area guys, and so I just

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: wonder how the decision makers are kind of taking in

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: all that information that they're supposed to get from uh,

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: some of the lower ranking scouts, but but taking that

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: in while on a really really short clock and because

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: it's so different than being in the room. Um, I'm

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: really really impressed with the way that everyone is being

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: able to manage the situation and make these picks. And

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams, they haven't been major surprises. Um,

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: So I'm just kind of surprised at how everything is

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: kind of played out. Yeah, I think, um, you know,

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: and why In terms of watching it unfold, and I

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: talked about it on my sports talk radio show, I

36
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: actually thought it came off really well relative to what's

37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: going on. And I think the imperfectness of that's a word,

38
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: the perfectness of the the actual broadcast itself. It's it's topical,

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: it's it's real. I mean, it's really absolutely and I

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: think watching the commissioner go into full you know, reclined mode,

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: that's real. That's who's buttoned up. I'm wearing shorts right now,

42
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: DJ War shorts on the broadcast. Things are just it's

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: a different time for right now. We'll get back to

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: the suit. Sen A tizes. But I really think the

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: broadcast and what it ultimately did, was we got the

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: picks through. People had their cameras, the different you know,

47
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: players had cameras and coaches had cameras, and gms had cameras.

48
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't always perfect from a broadcast standpoint, never was

49
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: it going to be. But I also think that added

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: a little more um flavor. It added a little more grit,

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: and that's what we're dealing with anyway, and I think

52
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: that you have to have the grit for what you're

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: going through right now. And I just thought it all

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: really just came together and made a lot of sense.

55
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: I was happy with it. At least have another day

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: to go. But I thought it was you know, I

57
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: really I like what I've seen so far. Yeah, and

58
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: I know I can I can speak for probably all

59
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: of us here as fathers in the room. How cool

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: was it to see the hugs all night long, both

61
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: both tonight and last night as well? You know, I

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: think it humanizes these guys that were often too quick

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: to criticize. And and you know, these gms and these

64
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: coaches were getting to draft from their homes with their families,

65
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: present UM an opportunity to celebrate with them in a

66
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: time where they've spent more time with their families than

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: they ever have in their entire careers, especially this time.

68
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: And and I think this celebration there, with the hugs

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: from the family, show you just how much goes into

70
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: each pick and each prospect and the evaluation of it.

71
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes we lose sight of that. But man,

72
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: was that powerful to me just to see so much

73
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: of that um and if so. Of course, there were

74
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: the moments of levity too, you know, with Belichick's dog

75
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: and and and the dogs that appeared all night and

76
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: whatever the heck was going on in in Vrabel's draft room.

77
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: I mean that stuff, man, that made it for me. Yeah,

78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: it's been it's been an interesting thing to kind of

79
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: watch it. Like the human side of all of it

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: has been fantastic. And I do wonder when all of

81
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: this is done and the world goes back to whatever

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: normal it will go back to. I do wonder, now

83
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: that we've seen it differently now that workers have seen

84
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: kind of like a different work life balance and we've

85
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: seen the draft executed like this or whatever, I wonder

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: what kind of impact it would have because it's been

87
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: refreshing to me to see a more inclusive process where

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: you've seen the families and the kids and everyone kind

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: of around. Um. Because but but make no mistake that

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: they live and die with these picks, just like the

91
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: g ms and the coaches. Do you know those picks

92
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: don't starting, they don't work out, and you know, it's

93
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: a new city, it's a new school, it's a new home.

94
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: So again, I just thought that was that that part

95
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: of it was really really interesting to me. So, um,

96
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: all right with that, let's kick off what we saw

97
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: here tonight on rounds two and three. Um, really fun

98
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: round round one and so now we we kind of

99
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: had a lot of players with first round grades maybe

100
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: that were available here on Night two, or players at

101
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: least that we had expected to hear their name called

102
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: maybe at the tail end of round one that didn't.

103
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: And we're available, and we let it off with Tee

104
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: Higgins Bucky from Clemson going to the Cincinnati Bengals with

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: the first pick of night too. But what was your

106
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: favorite pick here? Give me two or three guys that

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: you really loved here rounds two and three. You know,

108
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm still a little bit of Lances stunting because I

109
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: know he is deeply entrenched with the Indianapolis Skulls based

110
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: on his relationship with Chris Ballot. But I love what

111
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Coasts are doing, particularly on offense. I think

112
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: the Coast realized that, and we've talked about this ratt

113
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: and Lands. We've talked about you have to build your

114
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: team to win a division. Well, the team that won

115
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: a division and the teams that went to the playoffs

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: last year, uh, the Tennessee Titans. They were broad street bullies.

117
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: They beat up everybody and they physically mash people. And

118
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: I think it was kind of like a a realization

119
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: of the international schools that for us to win, we

120
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: have to be able to cram the ball down people's throat.

121
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: We have to have a roster full of tough guys.

122
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: And so when you go and you get a Michael

123
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Pittman as a guy who I think will eventually be

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: their number one receiver and time, tough, physical does a

125
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: great job doing the dirty work over the middle. Then

126
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: you come back and you add a Jonathan Taylor. Um,

127
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: you have changed kind of the tenor of that offense.

128
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: And so even though we see the Colts and we've

129
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: heard Frank right talk about like we've gotta be able

130
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: to run into or whatever, it's still something about seeing

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: the horse shoe where you still envision them being a

132
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: finesse team, where they're not going to play like a

133
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: finesse team any long, and these two guys are gonna

134
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: help them, uh kind of change their style. Yeah. I

135
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: had a chance to sit down with Michael Pittman. Uh,

136
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: I guess a week or two ago. It's a week

137
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: ago time. There's no sense of time for me anymore.

138
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: But I was really impressed, and I had a lot

139
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: of great compliments from people who listened to the interview

140
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: that that that I apparently people listen to this podcast.

141
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: But that's that's one of the things I'm finding out is, yeah,

142
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: it seems to be some listens. Yeah, imagine that. But no,

143
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: we uh, we had a great talk. And you know,

144
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: I talked about having a father who played in the league,

145
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: because obviously it's not always a lot, it's not always

146
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: a lock sin ship. A guy who had a dad

147
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: who played in any league is gonna necessarily be that guy.

148
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: But for someone like Michael Pittman, you can tell that

149
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: this is what he does. He's a football player. I'm

150
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: not saying that's all he is. But what I'm saying

151
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: is it matters to him. Getting better matters to him.

152
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: He did it last year in the offseason, and I

153
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: asked about if that started with his dad, and he

154
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: said absolutely. I mean, that's where it started. Is you

155
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: see it and then you emulate it, and then you know.

156
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: I was also impressed with the fact that I asked

157
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: him about Juju Smith Schuster because I knew they probably

158
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: overlapped by a year, and he said that was a

159
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: guy he emulated. That's who he wanted to play like.

160
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: And when you see his game you can see some

161
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: of that. You can see some similarities, especially when they

162
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: get down the field and their ability to go win

163
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: the ball when it's up in the air. You absolutely

164
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: see some of that. So I'm with you. That was

165
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: a pick I really liked. I also really I love

166
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift And I know this is an easy one,

167
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: this is low hanging fruit, but Detroit is a team

168
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: that really has just not been a running team since

169
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders. We know that they've got a long history

170
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: of that. And this is a guy with the low odometer,

171
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: low mileage on theodometer. He can play all three downs.

172
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: And I just think that DeAndre Swift sees the field

173
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: so well that he sets up He is the best.

174
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: And I thought he was the best in this draft

175
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: at running back and then number two, the best at

176
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: setting up tacklers in the open field because you never

177
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: he didn't have any tells at the poker table. You

178
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: didn't know when he was gonna snap a foot in

179
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: the ground and then bang, snap you off there on

180
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: the you know, and and cut across your face. And

181
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: so I think he's really going to add a new

182
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: element to Detroit. Whether it's with Matt Patricia long term

183
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: or whether it's not, we'll find out. Another pick that

184
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: I really liked um out of the second round was

185
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: Gerald Taylor to Seattle. Because this is a Seattle pick.

186
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: I knew this is who they liked. I knew it,

187
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: knew it, knew it because when you watch him, you know,

188
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: had his Bucky. There's certain teams like you know, there's

189
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: certain Patriots like the Big hulk smash linebackers like a

190
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: Landing Roberts, and they'll probably draft Marcus Bailey tomorrow. I

191
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: Jason Strowbridge is gonna be on their board because he

192
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: looks yeah exactly. And but but Seattle has a type two.

193
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: And Darryl Taylor is that type where he's got that

194
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: twitchy get off. He's very, very strong, He's got great

195
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: physical traits. And when I watched him, I could see

196
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: some similarities to Frank Clark on tape. Only I thought

197
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: he had five star traits and kind of three star

198
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: skill and so he's gotta get it coached up. But

199
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: I could see another Frank Clark type of situation, maybe

200
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: not to the same degree. But I liked the way

201
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: they maneuvered around the draft so they could get the

202
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: guy that they want. And John Schneider is one of

203
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: the best in the business of that guys. Those are

204
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: all great picks. Um you know, I think, uh I'd

205
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: like to give I guess you know, these picks were

206
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: some of my favorites in the couple of them came

207
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: from the same team and it was the Carolina Panthers.

208
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: I just I kind of loved what they what they've

209
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: been building here starting with Derek Brown last night, but

210
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: then building on that with you tour Grossmatos um or

211
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: Grossmatos depending on how you listen to the broadcast, which funny,

212
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: but the Panthers get you tour grossmntos there that even

213
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: have been from pinn State. Um, you know, a guy

214
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: we talked about in the framework of a first round

215
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: conversation at some point, and then they backed that up,

216
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: um by coming all the way back into the last

217
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: pick of the second round and getting a really fun player,

218
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: big physical safety slash kind of hybrid guy. And Jeremy

219
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: Chin from Southern Illinois. Of course we saw at the

220
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. Um, you know, I thought that was they did.

221
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: Those are some of my favorite picks. UM. I really liked.

222
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: Let's see, I like Denzel MIM's going to the Jets. Uh,

223
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: they needed a playmaker there in New York. Van Jefferson

224
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: to the Rams. I think the Rams kind of sneakily

225
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: had a had a really good draft here after not

226
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: having a first round pick with Cam Akers Um the

227
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: running back from Florida State, and then also with Van Jefferson, Um,

228
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: a guy who I think DJ comped Van to Cooper

229
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Cup right, I think for him. He called Van Jefferson, Uh,

230
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: you reminded him a lot of Cooper Cup And so, um,

231
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: want to go back to your your Panthers comment and

232
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: Jeremy Chen. Last night, people gave them a hard time

233
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: because they bypassed Isaiah Simmons and they took Derek Brown.

234
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: And we've had this conversation on something being path through

235
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: the draft or read. You and I have had this

236
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: conversation on the podcast where some people viewed Jeremy Chen

237
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: as the poor man's version of Isaiah Simmons. And so

238
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: to be able to get your big inside guy, to

239
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: get your pass rusher and your two gross models, and

240
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: then to come back and get a version a cousin

241
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: a kindred spirit of Isaiah Simmons, someone who has linebacker

242
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: size but as a safety with quarterback skill. I mean,

243
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: I think that's a I mean, I think it's a

244
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: remarkable way of putting it together. And Matt Rule, I

245
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: know it's his first time in the league, but man,

246
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: he has really done a really good job of rebuilding

247
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: this defense. That's what's crazy. Buck. So he had one

248
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: year with the Giants, and I'll tell you a little story.

249
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: I went up to I went up to go speak

250
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: to him, and his staff were me and a buddy

251
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: of mine who was with the Tampa at the time,

252
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: director of analytics. We we took a trip up there,

253
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: and I thought we were going to tell them about

254
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: some stuff we were doing. And I came away like, Wow,

255
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm not even at rules on a He's on a

256
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: different level. I was. I was blown away. And he's

257
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: a heighthweight, speed traits guy. He he had standards at Baylor,

258
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: his physical standards the same way Bucky you're familiar in scouting.

259
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: He all of that. They were basically evaluating talent with

260
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: an NFL type of mindset, and so I knew that

261
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: when he got to the NFL. UM I was incredibly

262
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: impressed watching him at Baylor. What he's been able to

263
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: do at Baylor. His demeanor is really really impressive. And

264
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: I know this is about the draft, but it starts

265
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: at the top, and it starts with the with the

266
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: power structure, and right now, for example, I think the

267
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: text and structure is no, it's not good. I'm very concerned.

268
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: As someone who lives here and does sports radio here,

269
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned. I'm very concerned with that structure. Then

270
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: you see the poise of a Matt of of of

271
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: a Matt Rule and a guy who has a very

272
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: and they both believe both organizations and height, weight, speed traits,

273
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But Rule, you see it with Jeremy Chen,

274
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: you see it with Grossmato's Derek Brown was just you know,

275
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: you just make that pick. There's there's no doubt about that.

276
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: But he knows what he's doing and he knows what

277
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: he wants, and I think they're gonna really be successful

278
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: provided they get the quarterback right at some point. You

279
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: know what in Lance you brought up the Texans Um.

280
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: I do want to get into that just real quick,

281
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: because you know, I thought, on the surface, those picks

282
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: kind of made sense to me for Houston with Ross

283
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: Blacklock and with Jonathan Greener in the third round, and

284
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: obviously with limited resources after trading away the first round

285
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: picks and a couple of seconds to kind of make

286
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: everything work with the with the trades that Bill O'Brien

287
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: has been making here, how do you feel like they

288
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: ended up with this Hall. I'm glad you asked me that,

289
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: because every day it's like a new nightmare on the

290
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: radio show. Every day is like Oh my gosh, Oh

291
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: my gosh. But I mean it's it's been unbelievable. Brandon

292
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: Cooks for what, he's got four concussions in two years?

293
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh Kyle, what did they give for? But you know what,

294
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: I thought Bill O'Brien did a great job of the

295
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: draft last year along with Brian Gaine, and I like

296
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: what he did here. I mean, I'm I'm fair. I

297
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: am fair. If I don't like it, I don't like it,

298
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm honest. But I thought Ross Russ Black Ross black

299
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: Clack was a good pick. He's where their defense though,

300
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: Like so they they play a lot more even fronts.

301
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: They play a lot. They're in They're in there in

302
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: Nickel about sixty of the time. So they're like, yeah, defense, Like,

303
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: where where they gonna put him out? I couldn't figure

304
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: out who's gonna play? All right, he'll be He'll play

305
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: like an underspot. I mean he's They they play a

306
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: lot of even uh front and Anthony Weavers taking over.

307
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: So we'll see if things change with Anthony Weaver. I

308
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: know that there are people um around that organization that

309
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: are very, very excited about him getting this opportunity. But Blacklock,

310
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: they need some rush, and he can. That's the one

311
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: thing he can do now is he can get you

312
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: some rush. He's very tough to deal with because he's

313
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: got a crazy, ridiculous lateral slide where he can go

314
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: two gaps over. He can like, he can go from this,

315
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: he can go from one B gap all the way

316
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: to your opposite A gap. I mean he's doing some

317
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: basketball stuff with this great so I like that. And Greenward.

318
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: I like green I think Greenwerd solid. It's the kind

319
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: of guy you get the back end of the third.

320
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: But Um, from a fifth standpoint, Bucky, I'm not. I'm

321
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: not as worried because they just gotta get some talent

322
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: up front because I'm not sure how long J. J.

323
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: Watt is gonna be playing. I mean, he's not gonna

324
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: play forever. And that cap number is getting a little

325
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: bit high from missing thirty two games the last four years. Yeah. Um,

326
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: And I'll just just run through a couple other picks

327
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: that that made sense to me. The Patriots trading back

328
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: into the bottom of the second, going to get josh

329
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: U j from Michigan, and I got a couple of

330
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: Michigan men there with the Chase Winovich last year, Um

331
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: and then, uh, you know, I thought Zach Bond going

332
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: to the Saints at seventy four after we talked about

333
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: him in the bottom of the first potentially, I know

334
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: the diluted tests that you know, probably had something to

335
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: do with it there, But man, that that felt like

336
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: a good spot, you know, for the Saints to go

337
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: up and get him. I also thought it was interesting

338
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: they came back into the bottom of the third to

339
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: get the tight end Adam Troutman from Dayton Um, a

340
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: guy I could have seen going ahead of ASIASI or

341
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: of Dalton Keene who ended up going in front of Troutman.

342
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: There they come in and get and get Troutman, second

343
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: to last pick of the third round. By the way,

344
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: the Saints have no picks remaining. They are done, they

345
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: have nothing left. Let's go, let's go go. I got

346
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: plans on Saturday. Guys, get out of here. I get out. Meanwhile,

347
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings have thirteen picks tomorrow, so that was

348
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: the team they traded with to get that that second

349
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: to last pick of the third Anyway, let's get back

350
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: to some surprising picks, because there are plenty of them here,

351
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: especially when grades differ as much as they can here,

352
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: especially on day two and three, Bucky. Any of those

353
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: picks that kind of had you scratching your head a

354
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: little bit here, whether it was fit or area in

355
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: range in which they were drafted. Well, I'm gonna do this,

356
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna dedicate this one

357
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: to Nobile, our producer, please um. A J. Dillon going

358
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: to the Green Bay Packers, I think on the surface,

359
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a surprise because in Green Bay

360
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: we typically don't see these kind of running backs show

361
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: up and play for the Packers. I mean, I'm going

362
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: back to my playing days, like when Dorsey, Levin Bennett

363
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: and those got we still didn't have like a banger

364
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: like a J. Dillon. And so stylistically A J. Dillon

365
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: doesn't strike um most of us as a pack of

366
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: running back. But then when you look at his game

367
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: and you see that he's a one cut runner, He's

368
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: a guy that gets downhill. Uh. You see the physicality,

369
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: the toughness, and then you think about the combine numbers

370
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: and explosivens and those things, and then you try and

371
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: match him up with the scheme that the Packers want

372
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: to run, which is a zone based scheme. They want

373
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: to kind of put him inside outside zone and do

374
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 1: those things. Um, you can begin to understand it. I

375
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: think where it gets skewed is is Matt la flour

376
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: Ever going to be able to run the scheme that

377
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: he wants with Aaron Rodgers as the quarterback. And I

378
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: don't know, Oh, I mean I've already said, like Aaron

379
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: Rodgers his own Notice, like Aaron Rodgers is about to

380
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: get Alex Smith. He's about to get He's about to

381
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: get Alex Smith. Where they're gonna move him out just

382
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: like well, just that's what Kansas City did. They had

383
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes, he served an apprentice, he started game seventeen

384
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: and then before you would in the off season he

385
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: was out. So I mean quarterback in the fourth round

386
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: to let him sit there for four years. He gets

387
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: a year or two and they were onto the next

388
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: he's thirty six. Yeah, I don't have any problem with

389
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 1: them drafting a quarterback in the future here, I really don't. Um,

390
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: And he's declining. He's account player. I think you know

391
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: what he is though, like so like his completion percentage

392
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: has gone down in each of the last three years

393
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: he's been injured in two of the past three years.

394
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: He had a broken collar bone. Didn't he had the

395
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: m CL team. He's thirty six, and for all of

396
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: the things that the Packers offense was able to do

397
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: and go into the championship game, they kind of want

398
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: in spite of their offense, as opposed to because of

399
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: their offense. And I know we kind of give like

400
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: the romanticized pass to the quarterback and he needs more weapons.

401
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: But at some point his play also hasn't been what

402
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: it is. I'm not saying he's what they need to

403
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: get rid of him, but I'm saying he's not what

404
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: he was, and they have to kind of change their

405
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: style to make sure they win it. Plus Matt Lafleur,

406
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, he came over from Tennessee.

407
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: He sees what works for them, and now you've got

408
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: a two and fifty pounds running back. Now he doesn't

409
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: run like a battering ram like uh, like Derrick Henry does.

410
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: That's not really agent. People think that's what they're they're

411
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: getting when they first start. That's not really what he

412
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: is or who he is. Necessarily, he is a freaky

413
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: athletic guy. His lean muscle numbers are like two twenty six,

414
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: like the numbers like a center would have. That's he's

415
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: just shripped. He shredded. It's unbelievable. But I uh, I

416
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: think at some point what Matt Lafleur and that in

417
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: that organization is basically doing is saying we're gonna start

418
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: building the offense. We're going to run. We're not gonna

419
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: We're not. This is not the Aaron Rodgers show anymore.

420
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: We're running the organization the way we need to to

421
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: get it ready to win in the future. Whether or

422
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: not you agree with it is another. But I respect it.

423
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, how did how could you disrespect?

424
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: Shout out to Eddie Lacy. They had a banger and

425
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: now he'd like to be a little whirling Derbys. He

426
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: liked to be like Snacks, so he likes Pie. I

427
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: like Pie, Bucky. There's nothing wrong with the only reason

428
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: that you didn't notice, but the Great Rookie season, what

429
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: the groundkeepers did is they put honey buns every fifteen years,

430
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: were strategically placed throughout the field, and Lambeau and he

431
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: would go with That's why he got the thousand yards

432
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: and this after that, they didn't put the honey buns

433
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: out there, and before you know, when he was out

434
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: the league. That's what snacks to put him back out

435
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: there and put them back out and put them out

436
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: breaking the Bill's heart with every word that you're dropping here.

437
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out to our are in Trepp

438
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: producer Nabil, who is editing this from his from his

439
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: bed tonight just past just just close to two a m.

440
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: Eastern time. Thankfully we're here on West coast time. Um

441
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: and Nebile has done a great job for us all

442
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: draft season here. But he does see the world with

443
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: cheese colored classes and says that Rogers will win a

444
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year. Sorry all right, sorry, win away

445
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: from playing in the Super Bowl. They did get an

446
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: h back today, So I thought that was nice they did. There.

447
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: You go with Daguira right from since then? Oh boy,

448
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: It's just they're just measurements, that's all they are. I

449
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: didn't say put honey buns on the ground for a guy.

450
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: I just went to the tape measure I like the guys,

451
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: by the way, scrappy block, what are some surprising picks

452
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: on your docket here tonight? Okay? So I couldn't figure

453
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: out the one that was surprising to me was kJ Hamler.

454
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and I like him. I think he's got

455
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: a chance to be really a really good player if

456
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: he can catch the football. He's got to be able

457
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: to catch a football much better than he did. But

458
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: when when you watch the highlights of him running, his

459
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: acceleration is different. It. He and Ruggs just look different

460
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: than everybody else in this entire draft, and that's really exciting.

461
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: But I mean, he's a slot to me and Judy

462
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: is a slot to me. And I understand that you

463
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: can run, you know, you you can run them both

464
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: out there. I don't have a problem with that. But

465
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: I just did they forget that they've got Garrett Bawls

466
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: at left tackle? Is that? Like, did they just say,

467
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we just went through the first two

468
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: days and totally forgot to get a tackle. I thought

469
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: a tackle was a lock. I I thought a tackle

470
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: on Day one or or two somewhere in there. There

471
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: way they had to They had to get somebody to

472
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: Now we could also see there's some tackles that might

473
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: be available coming up, so maybe there's something else. Yeah,

474
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: maybe there's something else to come. So I think that maybe,

475
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: so before I get too crazy as I think out

476
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: lout here, maybe there is a master plan at work

477
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: with with John Elway, because honestly, I thought they had

478
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: to find a tack one. They didn't. They added another

479
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver and they kept getting players that weren't tackles.

480
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: So I thought that was a little since that was

481
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: a little surprising after I watched some Denver football last year.

482
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: I want to come back to you for another surprise

483
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: here in just a second. But I just want to

484
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: recap for the folks keeping track at home here on

485
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: the offensive skill positions. Now for the Denver Broncos, who

486
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: will trot out Courtland Sutton, a pro bowler in his

487
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: second season. Day Sean Hamilton's who has shown some flashes

488
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: and was drafted the same year. There's Courtland Sutton, right,

489
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: they route runner smooth dude there, and then this year

490
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: they come back and get Jerry Judy with their next pick,

491
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: they come back and get kJ Handler. Let's not forget

492
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: that just last year they drafted Noah Fan in the

493
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: first round. I mean, you got five players two years

494
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: of less experience that are going to be your main

495
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: rotation here with a second year quarterback coming in and

496
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: Drew Lock. To me, it sounds like John Elway is

497
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: desperate to miss on a quarterback again and and just

498
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: want to make sure that Drew Lock has absolutely no

499
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: reason not to succeed here, except for the fact that

500
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: that the left tackle situation that you might have mentioned

501
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: their Yeah, but that's why they're always bootleg and play

502
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: action away and in all the Yeah, they'll make sure

503
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: that they have all this stuff lined up. I kind

504
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: of like the kJ Hamdler Jerry Judy connection combination when

505
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: when you pair it up with Courtland Sutton, Uh, they

506
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: have a young cord that's gonna grow together. They have

507
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: a playmaker and route runner and Jerry Judy. You didn't

508
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: have the explosive stretch guy and kJ Hamdler and then

509
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: what you have in uh Courtland Sutton is the big

510
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: body guy. Um, you have no vant who was there

511
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: to be the tight end. I mean, they put some

512
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: weapons around you Lock. I understand the concern about left tackle,

513
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: but you're right, Trent Williams is out there. Maybe just

514
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: maybe they're able to kind of give up something to

515
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: uh solidify that that that blind side, So Lance any

516
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: other picks that jumped out to you here surprises. So

517
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised at so I remember back

518
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: and I think it was two thousand and eighteen when

519
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: John Gruden and Reggie um mackenzie were together, and it

520
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: was it was just it was a disjointed draft. They

521
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: had Nick Nelson who was coming off of a knee

522
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: injury that they like forty eight passes defense and zero interceptions.

523
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: It was something crazy like that. And then they had

524
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: Maurice Hearst that they picked in the fifth round who

525
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: had um an issue heart condition that there was concerned about.

526
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: There was just it was an unusual There was a

527
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: lot of chance taking the draft and Ard and Key, yeah, exactly,

528
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: thank you arden Key who had issues with UH A

529
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: lot of different issues at l s U. There's a

530
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: lot of things I like about the potential the Miami

531
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: Dolphins draft, but I gotta tell you, it is a

532
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: little unusual to look at all these names here. The

533
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: first pick to a we know about the injury stuff,

534
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: and he's probably clean bill of health if they took him,

535
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: but you know, there are still some concern about his durability.

536
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson right now, he is a little bit of

537
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: um a developmental prospect. He needs to get stronger. He

538
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: needs more core physical core strength and functional strength. It's

539
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: just something he needs. Noah Igbaigin he is there. It

540
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: is Noah Igbangini. So he is a guy who is

541
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: a grab and and grab and and panic type of

542
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: player down the field. Now he's got a lot of traits,

543
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of potential, but he's not there yet.

544
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: So now you've got two guys in a row in

545
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: the first round who right now are in developmental mode.

546
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: Robert Hunt coming off of an injury, ray Kwon Davis

547
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: loads of talent but hasn't really shown up the last

548
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: two years like he's capable of playing. And so I

549
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: just I see a lot of upside. I mean, these

550
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: are guys with really high upsides but a little lower floors.

551
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: And so for all those picks, I think this could

552
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: either be a boom or bust draft because there's a

553
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: lot of talent here, but there's some floor issues with

554
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: this draft. Um for so many of these picks that

555
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: I see, which is a little bit unusual. I think

556
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: to have Jackson and Igmonogamy right back to back. Who

557
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, these guys need some work. They're not gonna

558
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: be ready yet. Yeah, I mean it's it's definitely interesting

559
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: to kind of see how everyone is is going about

560
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: their process and it Oftens certainly rolled the dice a

561
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: little bit with some of their picks, and they're trying

562
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: to hope that some of those guys hit and other

563
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: guys are taken up, like I would say, like a

564
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: more conservative slant. I think when I look at the

565
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's pick of a j Epinessa, I mean I

566
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: could have seen that coming a mile away. Like he

567
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: kind of fits the profile. He's a blue collar player. Uh,

568
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: the way he goes about his business with little to

569
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: no fanfare. Uh, it kind of works in that locker room.

570
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that we haven't talked about.

571
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: We talked about it on the show that we take previously,

572
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: but we haven't had the conversation about Jalen Hurst going

573
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles and what the Philadelphia Eagles are doing.

574
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: That was a surprise, h Uh. That was certainly a surprise,

575
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: and the fact that they took Jalen Hurts in the

576
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: second round has to be surprising. When you have Carson

577
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: winsterre you have to be a contract and all those

578
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: other things. But I thought it was very telling with

579
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman talking about we we are a quarterback factory.

580
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: We believe that we can develop and spit out quarterbacks

581
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: and those things. And he was too good for us

582
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: to pass up at that point of the draft. And

583
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: so I do wonder what the short and long term

584
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: plan is when it comes to Jalen Hursts. I know

585
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: you want to develop him, but what if he his

586
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: development exceeds what your initial expectations are, then what Yeah, well,

587
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: you'd rather you'd rather have that, like you'd rather have

588
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: a guy exceed them rather than not. I I looked

589
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: at this and I didn't see Look. I love his

590
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: ability to run the football. I think that is something

591
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: that is very very important when you made you made

592
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: a great point on the broadcast, Bucky that when you

593
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: look at the either your money set it when you

594
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks, that we're taking every one of them,

595
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: every single one of them. Joe Burrow, Um, Jordan Love

596
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: justin herb. Everybody can escape. They can all escape, or

597
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: they can run, or they can extend. It's all about mobility.

598
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: And here's the fifth quarterback ended up being Hurts, who

599
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: has mobility. The two guys who are more pocket sloths

600
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: uh in Um, Jake From and and obviously most notably

601
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: east and Jacob Eason. That that's just not that's just

602
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: not playing in the NFL right now. And I love

603
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: the intelligence of From, the armed talent of Easton, but

604
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: if you're not mobile in this day and age, it's

605
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: it's really tough for UH. It's really tough for for

606
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators to to be able to do everything that

607
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: they need to do to be unpredictable. And with I

608
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: don't really I look at look. I don't think Jalen

609
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: Hurts is an NFL starting caliber quarterback right now, and

610
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: I think when he becomes a starter, it might be

611
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: UH an average ull below average starter. That's how I

612
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: have him projected and graded. But what I do know

613
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: is I like everything about his makeup. And Carson Wentz

614
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: is hurt a lot. Carson Wentz was hurt in high school.

615
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was hurt in college. Carson Wentz has been

616
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: hurting the pros. I think they said this is a

617
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: backup quarterback for us. We're not trying to taste some

618
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: hill anything. We know that we can do direct snap stuff,

619
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: zone read things. We know we can create packages, but

620
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: I think they're saying, we gotta get man. We gotta

621
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: get a quarterback that we trust and that we like,

622
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: because I don't think jayalen Hurst has Tasto Hill like

623
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: He's not like watching a short area hold on. He

624
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be Taysom Hill in terms of the

625
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: actual player. But isn't there a way where the Eagles

626
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: can at least find a way to use him before

627
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: they feel like he has to be the quarterback? But

628
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: it would be so contrived, like when he runs on

629
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: the field, like everyone on defense is saying, okay, here

630
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: comes to his own read. But that's what they do

631
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: some Hill too. I think the thing with all I

632
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: think Tasty Hill was one when he was at by U,

633
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: he was dynamic. He was hurt all the time. He

634
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: was hurt every year, but he was pretty dynamic. And

635
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: I remember the game against Texas where he shredded Texas

636
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: as a due he had some legit Like I mean,

637
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: he was he was a physical runner. He could wrote

638
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: off because of the knees. I just wrote him off,

639
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: like three knees? What am I doing right now? The

640
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: difference is like Taysom Hill can still in the field

641
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: and line up at full back. He's line up at

642
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: h back. They would put him outside. Yeah, Javin Hurst

643
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: is athletic, but he's not that kind of athlete, and

644
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: so people have kind of put that on him. I

645
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: don't know if he's built like that. So this to

646
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: me is a true developmental quarterback prospect and and and

647
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: which is gonna see how that plays out. You know,

648
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: what do you think? Do you guys think they're drafting

649
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: the person and they're gonna figure out the player, because

650
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: that's what it feels like. They know they've got something.

651
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: But let's just see what we got because we know

652
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: we love the person in the locker room and everything,

653
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: and we know he's gonna work, and we know he's

654
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: gonna he's the coach's dream in that regard, because you

655
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: know you bring him in, he's gonna say all the

656
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: right things. He's not going to uh make where he

657
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: can handle play, He's gonna play his role. He look,

658
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: he showed he could play it in a major way

659
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: when he got benched in the championship game, but still

660
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: was supportive of tour and those things. And so that

661
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: plays well in the locker room, plays well in the

662
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: coaches meeting rooms and those things. But in figuring out

663
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: the player and what you do with the player after

664
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: you develop him, I think that is a little more challenging.

665
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: And I mean, like who knows. Man, Like we've talked

666
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: about Carson and his injuries. Uh, the odds suggest that

667
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: at some point Jalen or Nate or one of those

668
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to get him the field and

669
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: play quarterback for the Eagles this year. Yeah, you know,

670
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: I think they're just obviously pumping Nate Sudfeld up for

671
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: a big time trade, you know, coming up somebody to

672
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: get him, trying trying to get him ready. You're trying

673
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: to get him ready, trying to get him right. And

674
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: if he shows up for like three or four games,

675
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: if there's a preseason he kind of like it, has

676
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: one of those awesome preseason performances. He can go, um. Look,

677
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: A's a couple of other things that just kind of

678
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: stuck out to me as surprises. Josh Jones falling all

679
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: the way to the third round. Yeah, Like I can't

680
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: figure out what that was about. Like, I mean, obviously

681
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: this is a different time because without Pro days and

682
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: those things that we haven't been tipped off on some

683
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: things that we would find out like sooner rather than later.

684
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: And the fact that this is a guy that we

685
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: talked about being a fringe first round pick. He goes

686
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: in the third round. That was surprising. It was one

687
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: of the bigger surprises. So I'll tell you why. I think.

688
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I think what might have happened.

689
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: Josh Jones played, I believe a little under three hundred

690
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: pounds when he was at University of Houston. He had

691
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: four different offensive line coaches four years. But then his

692
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: workout was was very, very average. He came in at

693
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: three nineteen pounds too big, Yeah, I think too big.

694
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: I didn't think he moved well on tape. He was

695
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: very athletic. At the combine, he didn't moved the same

696
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: as what I saw on tape, So I think he

697
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: got too heavy. He didn't move as well. His his

698
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: workout numbers were just kind of average. There was nothing

699
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: that really stood out about it. And so now all

700
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you had this athlete on tape that

701
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: you don't see this. He was just average at the

702
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: at the workout. I think that may have heard him

703
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: some also, I don't know if there was anything else,

704
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: if I if I did, I would say what I could,

705
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: But I don't know if anything, but I thought, here's

706
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: where it could have heard him last, like, uh, the

707
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: last couple of years, we haven't seen as many coaches

708
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: venture down to the Senior ball, so the first time

709
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: the coaches may have had exposure to Jones and he

710
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: was good at senior balls. Three nineteen pound guy that

711
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: didn't move well at the combine that first impression. Sometimes

712
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: it's hard to get out of your mind, particularly when

713
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: guys are looking at tape, whereas if they had watched

714
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: him at the Senior Bowl, have been around him and

715
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: seeing first, then it changes how you view him uh

716
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: in games and and how you potentially view him coming

717
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: into your room. Guys. I want to get to some

718
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: of the notable storylines here that we saw developed through

719
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: rounds two and three, and get into that here in

720
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: just a second. Um, But can I give you maybe

721
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: the most non surprising pick of the night. Anybody have

722
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: any guesses the most non surprising? For me? It was

723
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: Devin ASIASI going to uh, oh, all right, Patriots? Like

724
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: when I started watching, it took me like seven plays

725
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: like this looks like a patriot. There you go, big athletic.

726
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: You know I'm gonna give you. At pick number one,

727
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:51,479
Speaker 1: Mike Mayock selects Clemson's Tanner Muse, the safety. You who

728
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 1: blew up the combine with a four four one thirty pounds.

729
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: Come on, you knew what was happening, didn't you? Come on, man,

730
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: feel feel right into it. And so he ran four

731
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: for one. He was everything like he he lit it up.

732
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: He was the decathlete of the weekend at the Combine

733
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: and then um, but man, the third round, the third

734
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: round is normally not Adham like five six, I saw

735
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: your profile. It's normally not when when you do that.

736
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: But well, you think he's getting Matt. You think he

737
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: thinks he has Matt Milano. Is that what he's thinking

738
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: of that? Some of that has always been the right away.

739
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 1: The Raiders would always take like big fat, be big

740
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: and fast, you can be a drafted exceptional qualities. So

741
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: and he's a good guy, But you're right, man, they're

742
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: they're loaded with Alabama and Clemson guys. That's right. He's

743
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: got a lot of he's got a lot of former

744
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: teammates on that squad, teammates. The chemistry and the continuity

745
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: is gonna be great because they're all our buddies from

746
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 1: high school. That's that's right, that's true, the whole team.

747
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,479
Speaker 1: You know, he was ticked off on a j Terrell

748
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: went before he could get him. Yeah, how about that? Like, yeah,

749
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: how about that? Yeah, I'm sure you wanted to add

750
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: them to the mix too, no doubt. Um. I just

751
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: thought thought that was fun. Um. Okay, So some notable

752
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: storylines here, and I want to start with one that

753
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: was kind of a little bit under the radar coming

754
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: into the night here, guys. Um. And it was in

755
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: the second round we started to hear some rumblings of

756
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: the Trent Williams deal perhaps coming to fruition with Washington,

757
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: maybe engaging the Minnesota Vikings in trade talks here again

758
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: the Vikings Riley Reef left tackle. Um. But you know

759
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: is this is this scenario where they would have tried

760
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: to bring in Trim Williams. Well, it turns out that

761
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: as they're working their way down the board here in

762
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: the second round and coming on the clock at fifty eight, overall,

763
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: they decided, you know what, we're not gonna do it.

764
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna just take Ezra Cleveland the offensive tackle from

765
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 1: Boise State. Um, who ends up being the Let's see

766
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: that was that the are we counting Robert Hunt is

767
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: a tackle? Reguard? Uh, I'm counting him as a guard.

768
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have to start off as a guard.

769
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: And they've got a right tackle right now. There you go,

770
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: So I we count Ezra Cleveland is the first tackle

771
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: on day two in the seventh overall. I just thought

772
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: that was an interesting storyline here because here comes the

773
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: Redskins are just are still saddled with this absolutely disgruntled

774
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: player who sounds like he has no intentions of ever

775
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: playing for them again. And um, and you know, are

776
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: they are they asking too much? Um? Is it just?

777
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: Is it not a situation that teams want to get

778
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: involved in with him not playing at all last year? Um?

779
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: And and so I just I thought that was, um, bucky,

780
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: one of the interesting storylines here because we have not

781
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: seen an actual player, current NFL player traded at all

782
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: in these first three rounds. And that's that's kind of

783
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: something that we've seen in recent years. Yeah, that's normally

784
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: what we will see. We see more activity. Um, this

785
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: would be when uh, guys, we kind of dump off

786
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: the players that with this grunt, old guys they want

787
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: to move on from after this. Yeah, all those other things.

788
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: And it's been very very slow um this year. But

789
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: maybe maybe all the activity will happen on day three UM,

790
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: because now when you make the trade and be like, hey,

791
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: we can give you something in one uh, we can't

792
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: give you one of our topics this year, and maybe

793
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: teams will be more likely to accept that. Uh. It's

794
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: just been a it's been an interesting thing. We have

795
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: seen some trades, but certainly not as much movement as

796
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: we are accustomed seeing over a draft weekend. And to

797
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: these two guys were talking about in Gockway and and Williams,

798
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: they've also hurt their team in terms of leverage to

799
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: get a deal done. So potentially, you don't know for sure,

800
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: but potentially, And so you've got to be able to

801
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: if you're a team who's asking for for whatever and

802
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: another team smells blood because they know that that that

803
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: players disgruntled on Twitter and they think, while we've got

804
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: all the leverage Jacksonville Jaguars don't have the leverage. We're

805
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: not paying what they're you know, what they're asking for for.

806
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: In Gockway can make it a little bit more are difficult.

807
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: Trent Williams situation, there's no secrets there. We know what

808
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: the deal is on that one. I think they've got

809
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: to move on from Williams. They got to get some

810
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: they gotta get some equity from for Williams. Yeah, one

811
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: way or another, it's gone on long enough. They've got

812
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: to move him and get him and it at some

813
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: point after draft and Chase on, the Jaguars are probably

814
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to get in got way out of the

815
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: building and let him go play somewhere else. But um,

816
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, as far as as far as any other

817
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: any other storylines that that stick out to you that

818
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: you know. I it's hard for me because I look

819
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: at it is the way I look at it is.

820
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: I want to see how the flow of the draft works.

821
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: So the floor of the draft, I like looking this was.

822
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna be probably tackles, maybe quarterbacks,

823
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: and it actually tackles fell back a little bit, and

824
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: then guys are drafting best defensive players available. I thought

825
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: there was a big rush too to to pick corners

826
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: that maybe didn't belong in the first round. And then

827
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: you get a it from flow which included we're not

828
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: we're not going to get the pocket quarterbacks. And so

829
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: we talked about that from and East and that was

830
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: one of those huge as well. Yeah, and and honestly,

831
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: when I when I wrote the Guys Up, I do

832
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: radio shows and Bucky at you probably were asked this

833
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: question to Okay, so outside of the big four, give

834
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: me another quarterback that you think is a real, sneaky

835
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: good starter. That's I said, that's it's not there, it

836
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: doesn't exist in this draft. I can give you an

837
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: answer if you want to play the game where we do. Okay,

838
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: tell me a late round guy that you can develop.

839
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, James Morrigan, Jake Lewton. I

840
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: mean it's this is a four quarterback draft for the

841
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: most part. I think if you're talking about guys you

842
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: have a chance to be dudes were there because everyone

843
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: is looking for the next going to Minshew or something

844
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: like that. And I would say that's an anomaly. Like

845
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: the way that he was able to go in there

846
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: and not only make the team, but so plant Nick

847
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: Foles as the starting quarterback. That's that doesn't come around often.

848
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: And I actually thought that the Jackman cauterbacks and they

849
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: have shown little to no interest in finding a quarterback. Well,

850
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: but they got three picks in the fourth Bucky, That's

851
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: what I was gonna ask you next. Do you guys

852
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: think that they say they're not going to but once

853
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: you get to the fourth round, this is backup territory.

854
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: Are are we sure they're not going to take a

855
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: look at from or Eason number one? For like, their

856
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: quarterback is Trevor Lawrence justin field, Guys like why why

857
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: another guy to the room when you know Garnerman, She's

858
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: gonna be a guy and you can get maybe a

859
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: cheap backup option for him. I just well, the price

860
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: is falling considerably on Cam Newton and Jameis Winson at

861
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: this Yeah, because like now, I mean the musical chairs

862
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: even trying to slot those quarterbacks. The only place for

863
00:44:55,560 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: Cam Newton in my mind is New England. And for Jamis,

864
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: Jamis has a tougher road to hoo um in terms

865
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: of the backup quarterback job because where, I mean, where

866
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: can he go? Like he can't go to Green Bay

867
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:15,919
Speaker 1: anymore like I thought would be a Jacksonville means you know, yeah,

868
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: it's tough. So that is the storyline to follow as

869
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 1: we enter day three. You know, guys, is uh, where

870
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: does Jacobson end up? Where does Jake from end up? In?

871
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: What kind of situation do they end up in? Um?

872
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: I think is even more interesting. Here. I was with

873
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: a couple of guys on the radio that we're a

874
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: bit more surprised than the two of you tonight to

875
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: see those names still out there. They're they're really surprised

876
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: about the Jacobs and Jake from Thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

877
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: it really were. Um Brock cured among them? Um and

878
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: sweet Spot. Does that make sense? Yeah? Okay? Well, and

879
00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: and they gave some good reasons, you know. So anyway, um,

880
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: you know another storyline tonight we're the running backs. And

881
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, our guy Daniel Jeremiah has been doing

882
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: a great job on the joint broadcast with ESPN and

883
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: NFL Network was on that broadcast again tonight when young

884
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: man from his alma mater got selected appalestion States Darien

885
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: ton Evans now headed to the Tennessee Titans. And here

886
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: was DJ's reaction. Well, now the draft has officially started

887
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: trade because we have an app state mountaineer that is

888
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: off the board and Derrick toon Evans, It's gonna be

889
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: fun to watch him pair up with Derrick Henry because

890
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: if Derrick Henry's Mr Power, this is Mr Speed. Lewis

891
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 1: has used the term that one cut runner, and that's

892
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 1: this kid. When he gets his foot in the ground

893
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: and gets north and south, you are not going to

894
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: catch him. That four or four one speed shows up

895
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: in a big way. He also has the ability to

896
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: help out in the return game, the Penn State game,

897
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: that great game between app State and Penn State a

898
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. He took a kickoff back for

899
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: a touchdown in that one. So big time, big time,

900
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: top juice and boys, it's the best fight song it's

901
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 1: out there, So let's not let's not give the people

902
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: what they want here. Nobody like us the Mountaineers, Mountaineers,

903
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: Mountaineers always a win, and Trey, We're always a grin

904
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: and always a feeling fine. Hey. So, I don't know

905
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: if we should try to embarrass DJ for not singing

906
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: the fight song or if we should thank him for

907
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: not subjecting us to that, But I'm glad he still

908
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: knows the lyrics at the very least. So darry Ton

909
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: Evans the the only app State Mountaineer to come off

910
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: the board here in the first three rounds. I just

911
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: want to make sure I can get a slight, subtle

912
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: dig at him. Um. Anyway, Darry Tenevan's a running back

913
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: going out of the Titans landside. How do you like

914
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: that fit? I like it. I like it fine. I

915
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 1: don't worry about I don't I don't care about having

916
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: a duplication as I don't need a J. Dylan to

917
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: be the backup to Derrick Henry. I mean, you can

918
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 1: do it if you want to, but why not give

919
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: a team something they haven't seen the entire game. When

920
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: when Derrick Henry comes out, they're going to see a

921
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: completely different look and they're gonna have to change change up.

922
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: It's like it's like seeing you know, fastballs, or it's

923
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: like seeing a change up pitt or a curveball picture

924
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you got gas coming in

925
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: and out of the bullpen. It's tough to adjust to that,

926
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: and I think that could be something that really works

927
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: in the Titans favors is have a completely different style

928
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: of back come in as a change of pace. We

929
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: call it change of pace. Change definitely changes the the

930
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: energy in the stadium when he runs into the field

931
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: I wanted because they weren't able to do that with

932
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis or how they're going to be able to

933
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: fit it in with Evans. He is a talented player, man,

934
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: He's a jitterbug in the open field. He has the

935
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: the juice and and all of that other stuff. It

936
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: would be interesting how Tennessee tries to play this out

937
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: and also do they try to preserve Derrick Henry a

938
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: little more heading down the stretch so he is ready

939
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: to kind of like impose his will those last uh

940
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: handful of games and going into the postseason like we

941
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: saw him do it this year. Well, if you do,

942
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be with a guy like Evans, Like

943
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to whoever your second back is, is

944
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to be the guy that takes those heavy

945
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: carries to take some of the load off the workload

946
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: off of him. Because Evans, to me, is never gonna

947
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: be a number one, Like that's not how he's built.

948
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: That's not the kind of back he is. But um Man,

949
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee is building a little bit of a bully over

950
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: there too. They've they're onto something. They are onto something

951
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel we talked about Matt Rule. I got a

952
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: lot of respect from Mike Vrabel too. I think Mike

953
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: Vrabel he's the one guy that's gone from the Patriot Way.

954
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: And I asked Bill O'Brien has had some success, obviously,

955
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: he's won some divisions, but I feel like Vrabels on it,

956
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: and he's not a coaching tree. That's a player. That's

957
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 1: a player who coaches. Now. Yeah, And and I think

958
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: that that pick a Christian Fulton towards the bottom of

959
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: the second round was a nice one for that team

960
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: that lost Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler has been banged up,

961
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: and uh they go ahead and try to uh, you know,

962
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: get another defensive back in there, uh to help with

963
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: that team and in that division. Last storyline, you know,

964
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: I mentioned I had some fun with the Raiders selection

965
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: of Tanner Muse. But before that, man, they went back

966
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: to back receiver there with Lynn Bowden. Um who's who's done.

967
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a versatile weapon for Kentucky. And

968
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: then backed it right up with Brian Edwards from South

969
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: Carolina to go along with Henry Ruggs in the first round.

970
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we want to give the Broncos

971
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: a little guff for going heavy on the receivers. I mean,

972
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: here we go, the Raiders are trying to was a

973
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: running back. I don't know if you noticed, like how

974
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: he was announced, he was announced, he was announced. He

975
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: I didn't hear the announces and running back, And so

976
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: maybe maybe John Gruden is trying to be a little

977
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 1: slickster by putting him a running back. But when he

978
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: runs into the field, everyone is going to know that

979
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: he's coming out of the backfield. He's gonna get the

980
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: ball in some kind of way. I think what's interesting

981
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: is I studied Brian it was hard last week, and

982
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with the balls else his ability

983
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: to win the fifty fifty balls, the acrobatic catches, um

984
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: some of the toughness that he displayed on those in

985
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: breaking routes. Those things work. And with John Gruten wanting

986
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: to kind of utilize a pure West Coast system, with

987
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: Rugs being the vertical stretch guy and maybe Edwards on

988
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: the outside being the guy that can run some of

989
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: the tough in breaking routes and Tyrrelle Williams and some

990
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: of the other receivers that they have in the corps.

991
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting. The one thing that has been constant,

992
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: which has been a surprise based on all the buzz

993
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: that we've heard, Derek Carr is still the starting quarterback

994
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: for the Las Vegas Raiders. And I mean we've heard

995
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: everybody and their mom associated with the Raiders and he's

996
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: going to be traded and get him out of there.

997
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: But as we stand right now, hitting the Day three

998
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: of the draft, the Derek Carr is their quarterback and

999
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 1: unless he falters somehow and cracks, that leaves the door

1000
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: crack for Marcus Mariota to overtake him. The Raiders gonna

1001
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: upgrade all these players, but they have the same trigger man. Yeah,

1002
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: they I like Brian Edwards a lot. I like him

1003
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot. I think he's really tough, great size, can run.

1004
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: He's a second round talent who fell because of the

1005
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: because of the knee injury. But it is like they're

1006
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: they're just taking the broom and they're just sweeping at

1007
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Core Clean just you got how to renfro.

1008
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: We're getting all of our Clemson guys in here. Real

1009
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: quick squad sat up with Clemson's shout out to the

1010
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: SEC and and a C C and that's it and

1011
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: it's a wrap and we'll see what happens. They added

1012
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: SEC and Lynn bout. Let's not forget about this. We're

1013
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,479
Speaker 1: we spent some time talking about what what Jalen Hurts

1014
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: is gonna do. Lynn can do a lot of the same.

1015
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: Like Lynn can be a problem because he can roll

1016
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: out to the wide receiver spot. He can't get running

1017
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: back carries, he can run zone his own read stuff,

1018
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. That's the gadget player that you want,

1019
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: the gadget player that can come on the field and

1020
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: he can play outside. You can put him in the

1021
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: back foot and all you all of a sudden you

1022
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: look up and he's running zone read and option stuff

1023
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 1: and that stuff. He he's a little different. Um yeah,

1024
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: he's hard to prepare. Give you sleepless nights as a

1025
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Um yeah. It's man, it's such a fascinating

1026
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: thing to see the team building process. And then I

1027
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: would say that's just for reference, like everyone in in

1028
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,399
Speaker 1: Day three and and the way that this approach right now,

1029
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: it's all about finding the hidden him. This is when

1030
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: you really throw your darts. This is when guys who

1031
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: have character guys who have like a medical issue, but

1032
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: if they're really good players, this is when you throw

1033
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: your dart. You throw your dart the fourth round, the

1034
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: fifth round. When they have character concerns. This is when

1035
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 1: you kind of kind of swing for defenses on guys

1036
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't feel comfortable taken early, but now you

1037
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: feel comfortable now because the financial risk is is less

1038
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: than significant. I'll leave it with this here, guys, Um,

1039
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: before we get out of here, are are the quarterbacks

1040
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 1: at all? The best players available? Um? As we get

1041
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: into day three here round four, as we get back

1042
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: on the clock tomorrow morning, Um, depending on what time

1043
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: zone you're in, Lance, or is there another player out

1044
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: there that's uh that that kind of sticks out as

1045
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: best in show that's still available. I don't think it's

1046
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks, No, I don't. I don't think that's gonna be.

1047
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: And I'm going through my list right now because I

1048
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: thought there were some pretty good football players at the end,

1049
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: right at the back end of the third Terrell Burgess,

1050
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: I think he's so nice. Um. And here's Brian, Yeah, Harrison, Bryan,

1051
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: he's still out there. I'm waiting for him to hear

1052
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: his name called he was the one that I'm that,

1053
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm that I'm looking I'm looking for like, okay, here

1054
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: should go Bucky out. I was told Bucky he was.

1055
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: He showed up at the combine like to forty two,

1056
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: and then when he had to run and was like,

1057
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 1: that's you know, they did the second way in before

1058
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: the forty and I got and I said, I asked

1059
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 1: a team, I, hey, what was his weight second way

1060
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: and dropped it. Yeah, that's not gonna help. And I

1061
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: think that's one of the reasons the other two guys

1062
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: to me to stand out that the good football players

1063
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: haven't been picked uh one Bradley and I has not

1064
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: been picked from Utah. I thought that he would have

1065
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 1: an opportunity, certainly to be in the third round. And

1066
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: then Curtis Weaver, um my buddy has called me, hey, man,

1067
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: what's up, my guy? I was like, man, bad body,

1068
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: the bad body. The bad bodies got him. And then

1069
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: there's some people that question in some of those big games, man,

1070
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe he turned it down a little bit when it

1071
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 1: came to um people getting after him a little bit

1072
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 1: kind of getting you know, he shut it down. But

1073
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: the one thing I would say about Curtis we have

1074
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: a thirty thirty four and a half sacks um over

1075
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: multiple years. It's hard to duplicate that production. That production

1076
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: typically translate, I would think and I and Curtis Weaver,

1077
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: those guys would kind of jump off the board pretty soon.

1078
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: And again, still some good receivers out there, uh, Tyler

1079
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: Johnson from Minnesota, A James Purchet Ganandy Golden from Liberty Um.

1080
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: Some guys out there. I don't think. I don't think

1081
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: Prochet is gonna go. There's some medicals there. I hope

1082
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but I've heard from a few people that

1083
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: it could. If he doesn't go. It has nothing to

1084
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: do with the ability, because he's talented. There's a guy

1085
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: that I think has a chance to be really good,

1086
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis from UCF. If you have a chance to

1087
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: watch him much. He did up Pauls and Nadibo. And

1088
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: I remember watching Gabriel Davis just taking him off the

1089
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: like two or three times, shook him badly. And I

1090
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: think there might be something to this UCF wide receiver.

1091
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: He didn't go on the third, but I think I

1092
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: had him in the third, fourth round category or territory.

1093
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy to keep your eye on

1094
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: as well as a Meek Robertson, who I know he's

1095
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: got a lot of love because yeah, I knew I

1096
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: wanted to bring him up. I mean that guy. He's

1097
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: another one. There's some concerns about some medicals, but there's

1098
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: another one, Darney Holmes, who's that Yeah, Darnay really helped

1099
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: himself from the post for the first picks, first round,

1100
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: we'll see some good players come on the board. Well,

1101
