Guys, 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 1: welcome back to Cowboys Break I remember to see I 8 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: joined by Nick Inman and David Hellman. The Draft week 9 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: is finally here. It starts tomorrow, and yesterday was a 10 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: press conference, first press conference, free draft where we got 11 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: to experience some of these technology issues. Our group didn't 12 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: really get a questioning yesterday, but we gotta put it 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: out there. It wasn't yours fault, right, got to address 14 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: the elephant in the room. Man. There's no way I 15 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: promise I was there. Okay, It's not like I'm making 16 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: a sandwich during pre draft press conference. Yeah, but we 17 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: were all there listening. It wasn't all asked Dave going 18 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: to uh, Stephen Jones. You know you you're so insistent 19 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: on addressing the team's needs and free agency so you 20 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: can draft purely, but you don't have a slot receiver, 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: So what gives I'm very curious about the fact that 22 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys haven't done anything with Randall Cobs addence, So 23 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to know if they were putting a higher 24 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: priority on drafting receiver or did they think they can 25 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: find a veteran and free agency after the draft? But well, well, Dale, 26 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: is it? Dale? Oh? Dave? Sorry, Yeah, we're wrong. We're 27 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: confident in the receivers we have. We have a lot 28 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: of good receivers behind those starting two and uh yeah, 29 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: it's hard to replace Randall cop but you know, we're 30 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: confident we could. We could go into the draft, so 31 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: there's some good receivers in there if that's the route 32 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: we want to go. But we're confident we don't have 33 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: to get a wide receiver if we don't need one. Yes, 34 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: a really good impression and a bad answer. Okay exactly, 35 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: which is remember when we had the whole like player 36 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: by comedian thing. Yeah, yeah, I'm landed, and I was 37 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: going to ask to McCarthy. I was like, obviously, you 38 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: don't know that they haven't drafted a safety in almost 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: two decades, but you had haw Haw Clinton Dix in 40 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: Green Bay. What are you expecting what type of player 41 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: are you expecting to get in Does that solidify your 42 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: safety position going into the draft? Dave, I guess we 43 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: don't have the answers to that. I'm not going to 44 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: try to do the impression, but I like, I genuinely 45 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: do think like Stephen Jones Um whenever it was that 46 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: he talked, he went, he went on one of the 47 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: fan a week ago and said, you know, we spent 48 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: significantly at safety. We like, we made this significant addition 49 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh man, I didn't realize four 50 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: and a half million dollars for haha. Clinton Dix was like, 51 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: this insane investment, Like I didn't realize that. So I 52 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: don't know this for sure, but we know the Cowboys 53 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: value a lot of positions more than they value safety. 54 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: And we know that they feel pretty good about Haha 55 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: and darry and Thompson along with Xavier Woods. And I'm 56 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: just after what happened last year, I'm not going to 57 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: get my hopes up that they have these big plans 58 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: on drafting a safety. Sorry Amber a trade apparently, because 59 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: he did say, you know, there's been a lot of 60 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: talks about Jamal Adams and a possible trade with the Cowboys, 61 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: but Jerry Jones were very was very clear yesterday making 62 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: a comment saying that they weren't gonna invest on a 63 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: trade using a trade for a high profile player. So 64 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: there goes Dad, unless they're keeping it a secret for 65 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what their plans are for right now. 66 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: You know, if anybody, I'll go back real quick what 67 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: we were talking about. If anybody doesn't understand what we 68 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: were saying. There was the pre draft press conference yesterday. 69 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: They had all the media guys are in girls in there, 70 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, different questions and it was their turn. 71 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: When it got to my turn, they couldn't hear me. 72 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: When it got to Dave's turn, they couldn't hear me. 73 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: And don't you find it ironic, David, As we're doing 74 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: this and talking about this, the guy that's running this 75 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: whole thing just send us an email that asks us 76 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: if we want to test for tomorrow's thing, which we 77 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: definitely need to test. But yes, the timing is hilarious. 78 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: And to talk about your point, I don't know if 79 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: everybody's talking about Jamal Adams, but I feel like there's 80 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: people well I feel like I'm talking about in the media. 81 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: I think it's being driven by one or two people, 82 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people are picking up 83 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: steam there. I just Jerry said it highly unlikely, and 84 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: I believe that. That's one thing I do believe. And 85 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: you know, these press conferences that yesterday are always so 86 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: frustrating because I'll never forget them telling us in twenty 87 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: sixteen the drafting running back really high, Isn't that's smart 88 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: of a move? And then they picked a ze Kilo 89 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: like three days later, So they don't really want to 90 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: give you a lot of information. So I don't know, 91 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: do you think they would get someone day If you 92 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: think they'll they'll no, not at all. But yeah, I 93 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: mean if they had plans on doing it, they wouldn't 94 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: tell us about it. It's lying season, that's what happens 95 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: in the lead up to the draft. But for the 96 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: cost of what you'd have to pay for Jamal Adams, 97 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing the Jets would let 98 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: them go for just one pick, even if it was 99 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: a first round pick. On top of that, I think, 100 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just another guy that needs a big 101 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: contract really soon. I mean, it's risky drafting players. You 102 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: never know if they're going to pan out, but they 103 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: need to find some cheap talent. They have enough expensive talent. 104 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: That's something that no offense to the fans. It's just 105 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: it takes a long time to really understand that because 106 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: they look at it, and so certain media people look 107 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: at it too, and they and they say, well, he's 108 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: better than anybody. You're going to get a seventeen, which 109 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: is true, but you've got like you said, you had 110 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: a five. You had four years with a quarterback making 111 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: less than two million a year. You should have done 112 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: more with that. I mean, you can't just keep getting 113 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: these players in here. You need cheap players, like you said, 114 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: Layton Vanderesh. You know, he needs to play two or 115 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: three years on a deal like this and be really productive. 116 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: And it hurts when you don't have when your first 117 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: round picks turn into Amari Cooper and he's making twenty 118 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: million a year. So yeah, I mean, it's way more 119 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: likely than not the Cowboys would get a better team 120 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty with Jamal Adams and no first round pick. 121 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: But you look at the long term, you look at 122 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: what it's going to cost you, you look at the 123 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: you know, the overall health of your roster. One to 124 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: fifty three, like, I mean, they already had they've got. 125 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: You know, their top twelve is among the best in 126 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: the NFL, but it's you know, players fifteen through thirty. 127 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: Those guys do a lot of heavy lifting on good teams, 128 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: and you need draft picks to make that work. And 129 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: you know, if they traded for Jamal Adams, I wouldn't 130 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: hate it. I would I would compliment the move, but 131 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: I understand why they're more committed to try and to 132 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: replenish their roster with affordable I mean, you can make 133 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: the case, would you rather have Jamal Adams at safety 134 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: next year making what twelve million thirteen million a year? 135 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: Quite more than that? Depends on when he would get 136 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: his deal. I mean, he doesn't need to be resigned 137 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: right now. Whatever his rookie salary is like five or 138 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: six right now, but I mean he will be worth 139 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: like fifteen million a year very soon to help it. 140 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Or Xavier McKinney for you know, a million, maybe, I 141 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: absolutely yeah. And Davian McKinney and Grant Delpit might not 142 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: ever be as good as Jamal Adams like I I mean, 143 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams unquestionably makes you better in twenty twenty but this, 144 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: like this draft, I can't. I just keep going back 145 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: to how important I think this draft is for the 146 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys chances of competing on a higher level. I mean, 147 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, they need to find three or four, you know, 148 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: starters or heavy contributors in this draft class if they 149 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: be a playoff caliber team, a team that's capable of 150 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: winning playoff games. Also, I love Will McClay to death. 151 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: I like all the guys in the Cowboys personel department, 152 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: but this is a big draft for their reputation. You know, 153 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: they they really earned their stripes and got a lot 154 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: of well deserved accolades for how well they drafted from 155 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen. Twenty seventeen draft looks, I mean, yeah, terrible. 156 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: I think terrible is a stretched because you got three 157 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: starters out of it. You got Jordan Lewis, you got 158 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: um Fido Woozier, and you got Xavier Woods. They're not 159 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: like amazing players. They found three starter caliber players. Obviously 160 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: Tacos a bust. Yeah, but those three starting caliber players 161 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: or players that the Cowboys are looking to upgrade with 162 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen is not good by any stretch. Twenty eighteen, 163 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: you got gallop and we'll see about Layton. Jury is 164 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: still out. Twenty nineteen looks pretty rough. Like they need 165 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: to hit on this raft. You know, if if the 166 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: if the narrative of the Cowboys being among the best 167 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: drafting teams in the league is true, this draft is 168 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: really important. They need to kind of get back on 169 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: the horse because the last two or three years have 170 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: been mediocre to bad. So this is important for a 171 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: lot of reasons. I mean, twenty sixteen, there's more good 172 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: players that have come out of that combined in seventeen, 173 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: eighteen and nine together, right, which, yeah, and you know, 174 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: I mean twenty sixteen. I don't know if it's fair 175 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: to say twenty sixteen is the standard. I mean, that's 176 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: one of the two or three best passes in Cowboys history. 177 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: But you know, twenty fifteen you found an all Pro 178 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: corner and Byron Jones. You have found a four year 179 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: contributor in Damian Wilson. Twenty fourteen, I mean, you're two 180 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: big picks from twenty fourteen are still on the team, 181 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Zach Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence. I mean, you gotta and 182 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: and even you know, Anthony Hitchins was a four year 183 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: star while he was here. That was a great pick 184 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: for where you found him. They need that, They need 185 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: their first, second, third, and preferably fourth round pick to 186 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: all have to start. But those are guys that need 187 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: to be contributing big time from the get It's gonna 188 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: be interesting to see because I was having a lot 189 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: of hopes on hopefully getting the players from last year's 190 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: draft to have a good offseason, get a lot of workout, team, 191 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: gain some power, get health, you know, and start training 192 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: camp off pretty well. But with everything that's going on now, 193 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: it makes me wonder how much this virtual life is 194 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: going to affect their physical performance when they do get 195 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: back on the field. So we'll see what the Cowboys 196 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: decide to do now. Staying on the topic of the 197 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: defense just for a moment, we're still having some confusion 198 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: here as to what the Cowboys plan to do there, 199 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: whether it's a four three defense or three four. I mean, 200 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: they say it's a four to three, but then you 201 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: get talking about different players that look more like a 202 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: three four. So what did you guys gather from one 203 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: McCarthy said yesterday, it was pressed pretty hard about that, like, 204 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, what, what is it? What's it gonna be 205 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: three four or four three. I mean, it doesn't matter 206 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: that much. You just nailed it, Amber, thank you. Doesn't 207 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: really And I think there's only confusion if you're obsessed 208 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: with the label as this black and white thing that matters, 209 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: like and you know what, it makes sense why people 210 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: feel that way because the last defensive coordinator had a 211 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: very rigid black and white approach to things. We're gonna 212 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: have four down linemen. The right end is going to 213 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: have this skill set. I need this from my undertackle. 214 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: My left end is going to do this. We're gonna 215 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: play these coverages. I get it. But Rod Marinelli is gone, 216 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: and I just don't think that Mike Nolan and Mike 217 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: McCarthy are going to approach their defense that way. It 218 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: is a four three front. They are going to have 219 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: four down linemen at least for the time being. But 220 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: from the sounds, they want to bring pressure with players 221 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: that aren't necessarily always pass rushers. Jalen Smith comes to mind. 222 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: Alden Smith and Randy Gregory are also obviously versatile guys 223 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: that could play in either front. I think you're gonna 224 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: see a lot of everything, and it should be exciting 225 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: more than confusing because for years and years in years, 226 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: we kept hearing, Oh, that guy's not a scheme fit, 227 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: that guy doesn't do what we've fit what we want 228 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: to do. Well, we'll see you mean they like it. 229 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: Sounds like they just want to draft good football players 230 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: and figure out what to do with them later, which 231 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: is how everyone in the world should approach this thing. 232 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: I'm very excited it's going to look like yeah, me too. 233 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: I mean when you when you look at Randy Gregory 234 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: and Alden Smith, if those two guys get reinstated, and 235 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: it sounded like Jerry and Stephen didn't really want to 236 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: be the ones to talk about that because it's a 237 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: touchy situation and they don't know. And I guarantee the 238 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: NFL's thinking about bigger things right now than than reinstading 239 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: some of these players. But you know, they look like 240 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: three four pass rushers. That's what they look like. Their 241 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: body types are. DeMarcus Lawrence looks like he is a 242 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: four three pass rusher. He's not. He doesn't have a 243 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: great fit in a traditional three four scheme. Ontari Poe 244 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: looks like a three four guy. Um Durri McCoy to 245 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: me a four three but that's the beauty of it. 246 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you can make these switches in between a series, 247 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: in between a play, and I think that that's just 248 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: saying what Davis is pointing out, just get good playing. 249 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: A really good example of this is two of the 250 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: guys that we're talking about a lot at the top 251 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: of the draft, Caleb and Jason out of LSU and 252 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: Zach Bond out of Wisponsin. I wouldn't be shocked if 253 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: under the previous regime both of those guys were out 254 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: of consideration because we don't know if he can put 255 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: his hand on the ground and play right in does 256 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: that remind you of T J. Watt at all? Like 257 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: that was the bit like is can he play? Can 258 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: he put his hand on the ground and go? Whereas 259 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys were to draft Zach Bond, they would 260 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: probably say, all right, we're gonna find some looks for 261 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: you where you can rush as an outside brusher, can 262 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: play a little bit of sam lineback, or you can 263 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: do this, that and the other, and by the time 264 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: it's all said and done, you'll be playing seven percent 265 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: of the snaps. And that sounds awesome to me, rather 266 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: than just saying, oh, he's never really been a four 267 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: or three end, so get him out of just get 268 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: him off the board. We don't like him. When we 269 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: went to a restaurant in Indianapolis at the combine, we 270 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: were fortunate enough, Dave and I were fortunate enough to 271 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: go with some of the other media guys and we 272 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: were just kind of talking a little bit on the record, 273 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: mostly off the record, and McCarthy said exactly that. He said, 274 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: you know, if you got a player that doesn't really 275 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: fit your scheme but he's a great player, then you 276 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: need to change your scheme. And I like, look over 277 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: at Dave, and Dave is you didn't do it? But 278 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: about as well then like the Dion Sanders, it was 279 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: just like, oh, thank you, thank you, We'll see you 280 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: can actually do that. But it's they've said everything I 281 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: want to hear. But now this is like the first 282 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: true test. Obviously we haven't seen any actual football under 283 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, but the decisions they make this weekend could 284 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: go a long way about, you know, shaping what they 285 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: actually want to do. So that's really exciting. Now. Another 286 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: thing that was discussed yesterday, actually Jane Slater was pressing 287 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: on pretty hard. It was about that. Dak Prescott was 288 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: the topic of discussion yesterday. The whole franchise tag number 289 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: was recalculator recalculated, and he finally came out with a 290 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: total what was it, thirty one point something point four 291 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: thirty one four and four around there, which was kind 292 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: of around the amount we were expecting. Now. When asked 293 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: if Dak has been participating in this virtual voluntary offseason program, 294 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: McCarthy kinda he tried his best to kind of not 295 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: answer it. Basically said that Dad has been in communication 296 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: with the coaches, but he's not going to be taking 297 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: role of all the players that do take part on 298 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: this program because it is voluntary. Now in the way 299 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: that I thought I heard it, I mean, that didn't 300 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: make me feel like it sounded as if Dac was 301 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: participating in the voluntary program or not. What do you 302 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: guys think I think that there? I thought, I think 303 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: that Mike mccartthy answered that question as best as he 304 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: can because it is a volunt Like you said, it's 305 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: a voluntary program. The minute the Cowboys, especially their head coach, 306 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: start revealing to the media who's who's participating and who isn't, 307 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: then he's subject to you know, I don't know if 308 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a fine or anything like that, 309 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: but but you certainly don't want the league jumping in 310 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: and saying, why are you throwing out these players business? 311 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: Because he said we're definitely not going to be taken role. 312 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: But he also mentioned that he's doing everything he's communicating, 313 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: so I looked at it like he is participating somewhat, 314 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: but he can't say whether or not he's there or not. Yeah, 315 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: And I think talked about this last week, like if 316 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: if this was the real offseason program and we're doing 317 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: workouts and on field learning and all that stuff, I understand, 318 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: but like I don't care if if Dak is on 319 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: the zoom call, I don't care, Like like I said 320 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: it last week, like he's got his iPad, it does 321 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: because like you know, I mean, it's you know, do 322 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 1: I need to be Do I need to be on 323 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: a zoom call with Derek and Nick at all hours 324 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: of the day for them to know that I'm like 325 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: handling what I'm supposed to be handling, you know, No, 326 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: Like we're all we're mature adults and we can accomplish 327 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: what we need to accomplish. Without having somebody virtually breathing 328 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: down our neck, Like I don't care if Dak logs 329 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: into a single call. He's got his iPad, and like 330 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: I said last week, like I think he cares way 331 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: too much about being good at quarterback to like throw 332 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: his iPad across the room and not ever look at it. 333 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: Like I'm sure he's looking at it. I'm sure he's 334 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: gonna handle what he needs to handle. In the meantime, 335 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: as long as all this weird stuff going on, I 336 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: don't care if he's logging in or not. Maybe I'm 337 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: alone in that, but it just seems silly to quibble over. Well. 338 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: Another thing that was interesting though about that whole conversation. 339 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: It is okay, yes, they said that they're still in 340 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: the work so in the hopes of getting a long 341 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: term deal with Dak Prescott, but they are not kind 342 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: of not canceling the possibility of drafting a quarterback in 343 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,479 Speaker 1: this draft. Jerry Jones mentioned how Mike McCarthy likes to 344 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: have extract quarterbacks in the room, get them to develop, 345 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: and hopefully in the future, use them as a trade 346 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: or just you know, as an investment overall for the future. 347 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this whole quarterback drafting. If 348 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: they do draft one, what would be like around what 349 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: round would you be looking at? Well, I mean, yes, 350 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy likes to do that, and that's what's something 351 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: Green Bay has on that they drafted five quarterbacks in 352 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: the time he was there, and they had five and 353 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But that's not what Jerry Jones likes to do, 354 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: and so it'll be interesting to see that he's done 355 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: it once or so with Mike White, and I don't 356 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: think you know that that didn't work out, But that 357 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you stopped trying. Some of those Packer guys 358 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: didn't work out either. How's it going to work out 359 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: when you have a Pro Bowl quarterback there? So I 360 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: just think that that if we're looking at it, I 361 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: would say fifth or sixth round. That's that's how you 362 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: develop a quarterback, because anything higher than that, these guys 363 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: should be somewhat ready to contribute. They still need development, 364 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: But I think fifth or sixth round because you have 365 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: other needs. You have guys, like Dave said, you got 366 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: to hit on these top four picks. Yeah, that's what 367 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask based on all the other needs. 368 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, do you would you Dave think that there 369 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: is room for a quarterback to be drafted in this draft. 370 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: I don't not high not in that, not enough. I know, 371 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: you know they talk to Jalen Hurts. That's a name 372 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: that keeps getting brought up. But you probably have to 373 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: draft him with or maybe eighty second. Maybe he falls 374 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: that far, but he I mean yeah, like we keep 375 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: saying they need they need pass rushers and cornerbacks and 376 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: safeties and a receiver. They could probably use some linebacker 377 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: depth like all, I mean, where, how how are you 378 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: justifying that on a guy that you hope is not 379 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: going to trust the field? Um? And I mean I 380 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: get it, I get it. The higher you draft from, 381 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: the more likely he is to be good. But if 382 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: they want to do it on Day three, that's fine 383 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: with me. I think you know some guys you could 384 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: draft in the fifth, six or seventh round that I'd 385 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: be fine with. But a premium pick on a quarterback 386 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: when your quarterback is only twenty six is scary to me. 387 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: And it's hard to convince Jerry Jones otherwise when he's 388 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: got one of the best quarterback that he's ever had 389 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: here in the last ten years that he got an 390 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: eighth round, if you will, and there wasn't one an 391 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: undrafted free agent Tony Romol. So you know, I think 392 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: when you get to that point, you might as well 393 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: just get you know, get it undrafted. But I honestly, 394 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: I would rather, I would rather draft a punter. I'm 395 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: not joking. I would rather. Yes, and we're gonna go, 396 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna get that excited punter. We're gonna go draft 397 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: to A and M kid. Yeah, it's the Braden Man 398 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: in the six or seventh round. I'd be on board 399 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: with that for sure. Yeah. I just think, you know, 400 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: I think at that point you might as well just 401 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: get an undrafted free agent, knowing that he's probably not 402 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: gonna be better than Cooper Rush anyways. Cooper Rush enough 403 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: that he's been around for four or five, you know, 404 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: four years whatever it is at this point, and he 405 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: was undrafted. So and I you know, I don't dislike 406 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, but drop off between him and some of 407 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: the Day three guys is so severe that you just 408 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: have to grab him in the top one hundred. I 409 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: mean again, you know, if if your quarterback needy, I 410 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: get it. But Prescott's never missed a game. I'm comfortable 411 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 1: betting on that. I mean, you've got one of the 412 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: You've got one of the most productive college quarterbacks on 413 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: the roster in Blake Belle. Yeah, I'm holding out he 414 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: didn't throw a pass. I don't even know if he 415 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: threw more than five passes his whole career, but you 416 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: didn't have to. I am holding out hope that they 417 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: you've got fun package for him lined up, like you know, 418 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: whether it's goal line or just something to throw defenses off. 419 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying he needs to throw passes 420 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: or whatever, but it would be fun if they could 421 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: find a way to utilize that. Do you know the 422 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: two players on the roster that have thrown a touchdown pass? 423 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, other than Dak there's only one more, I believe. 424 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm guessing it's Blake bell based on the conversation. 425 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Don try Poe. Yeah, okay, if 426 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: you haven't seen that YouTube that it's one of the 427 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: coolest things you've ever seen, I've watched it. I forgot 428 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 1: about that. Well. I've been receiving questions about this draft 429 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: and how it's gonna be handled. It's definitely gonna be 430 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: a challenge just putting everything together virtually. But in yesterday's 431 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: press conference, Jerry Jones he said that they've done some 432 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: practice runs and they don't seem to have had any 433 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: issues with it. Well, they've had issues, but they've addressed 434 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: it and tried to perfect it to where tomorrow it 435 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a problem. Even if they were needing to 436 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: trade for whatever reason, they can make that happen. How 437 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: comfortable are you feeling about this whole process when it 438 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: starts tomorrow as far as looking at how the only 439 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: example we have is basically the press conference that we 440 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: were able to witness yesterday. So after that, how comfortable 441 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: are you with tomorrow's process? Do you expect this or 442 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys to experience difficulties that would affect then and 443 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to their turn to draft. You're talking 444 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: to two guys who couldn't get in on the press 445 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: conference call. I didn't see Steven Jones for the first 446 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Not sure why, but I don't think he 447 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: I think he was having some problems too. Yeah, I 448 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: mean Dave and I argued with Derek I think a 449 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. It's going to be chaotic. How 450 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: can it not be? It is going to be chaotic 451 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: for what they're used to doing. Yes, they'll figure it out, 452 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: but they'll be trades probably left on the table because 453 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,719 Speaker 1: they just can't communicate with everyone. You know, other teams 454 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: honestly might have more of a problem than the Cowboys 455 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: because they've got an owner and a GM that they 456 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: need to talk to with the coach, Jerry's going to 457 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: make the call if they really need to. So you know, 458 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: the owner in the GM are in the same head. 459 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: So I you know that that's an advantage right there 460 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Yeah, I'm not I'm not worried about 461 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but just from the league as a whole, 462 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: Like yeah, I mean Jerry kind of glossed over that. 463 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: He was like he was like, yeah, I mean we 464 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: had glitches during the draft, but we sort of threw him. 465 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well, but like it didn't matter, you know, 466 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: like it was fake. But you're probably gonna have glitches 467 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: when teams are on the clock and when teams are 468 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: trying to trade. And I saw it somebody one of 469 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: the GMS has like the team's it guy is going 470 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: to be living in a Winnebago in the draft, something 471 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: goes wrong, and I think I heard John John Schneider 472 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: is like ripping down walls in his house to like 473 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: boost the Wi Fi signal. Like, I don't know, there's 474 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of crazy stuff going on, and you just 475 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: can't convince me that we're gonna make two hundred and 476 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: fifty five picks and a couple of dub trades without 477 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: some craziness. I just feel pretty good about that. Like, 478 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: if it goes completely smoothly, I'll be shot. I was 479 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: expecting to hear something from the NFL saying that maybe 480 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: they were going to extend the time that teams get 481 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: to make the decision, you know, thinking that because of 482 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: these technologies that are now being used, I would imagine 483 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: that there is some error. Errors are gonna happen. You're 484 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: gonna have glitches. So I was expecting there to be 485 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: a longer time period where the teams just have more 486 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: room for, you know, to mess around in case something happens. 487 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: I think, Okay, well, are you gonna say something I 488 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: was gonna I just yeah, I would just say, you know, 489 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: just just the part about communicating trades to the league. 490 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: That's gonna be one thing that's that you know, yeah, 491 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: they can talk with amongst themselves and going to the 492 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: league and getting all that in. I bet you the 493 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: league is going to be a little bit more lenient 494 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: when it comes to trade and pass the deadline and 495 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: stuff like that. All right, Well, to wrap up the show, Um, 496 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: you guys had your predictions last week. Have they changed 497 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: since then? Do you have a better gut feeling of 498 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: what's going to happen tomorrow? Who the Cowboys might be drafting? Dave, 499 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: what is your gut telling you? I mean, I've been 500 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: on this train for about a month and a half, 501 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna get off now. I think if 502 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: he's there, I think they'll pick calevon Chason. It's good 503 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: value for pick seventeen. He's not a slam dunk prospect, 504 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: but he's twenty years old. He's an ascending, highly talented player. 505 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: They do not have much in the way of like 506 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: proven options at right end. Again, you're talking about a 507 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: versatile guy. If you're going back talking about the versatility 508 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: of Mike Nolan, you know, having multiple fronts. The only 509 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: question is whether he lasts that long. Because he's the 510 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: second best ad dresser in this class, and that's valuable, 511 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: so he might not be there. If he is, I 512 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: think he'll be the pick. I think CJ. Henderson would 513 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: be in consideration too, but I don't expect him to 514 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: be there. He's the second best corner and those don't 515 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: last long either, So I'm thinking Jason. If he's gone, 516 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry tries to get out 517 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: of the pick. Based on the way he was talking yesterday, yeah, 518 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: it sounded like trade down was a possibility. I'm gonna 519 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: just say my prediction is a cornerback. I just think, 520 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 1: you know, they've tried to cover themselves with defensive end 521 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: and hoping that those guys get reinstated. But you know, 522 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: and you've got Jelson, you've got Joe Johnson or Joe Jackson. 523 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: Joe Jackson, Yeah, Joe Johnson's great basketball player, by the way. 524 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: I think that if you I just think cornerback, and 525 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: if they don't get uh, you know, Henderson, I see 526 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: him trading back, maybe faulting from LSU. Maybe the kid 527 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: from TCU Glad Me and A Tarrell from Clemson are 528 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: both names to know too. That would be a tradeback. 529 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: But I just can't imagine them not getting a cornerback 530 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: high if you have a possibility to get a corner 531 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: tomorrow and I I think they should all right, Well, 532 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: we don't need to keep guessing because we will find 533 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: out tomorrow and I finally will get to know what 534 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys decide to do with their first round pick, 535 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: a number seventeen. Dave, do you want to just go 536 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: ahead and tell what time the draft show is starting tomorrow? 537 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: We will be going live at six thirty Central Time, 538 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: So if you're on the East coast seven thirty, it's 539 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: gonna be me, Kyle Yeoman's Kevin Turner. And then Dane 540 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: Brugler is coming back for the entire three days, so 541 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: the fourth Rust will be on. We'll have you covered. 542 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: And then Friday and Saturday we get Jeff Kavanaugh, Brian 543 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: brought us or coming over from the fans, so we 544 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: will have all of the usual suspects from Yeah, we 545 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: got the whole team together. It's gonna be a ton 546 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: of fun.
