WEBVTT - Free Agency Preview, Mock Draft Round Up, Jaylen Waddle's Top 5 Plays 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:05.920 Two fires touch stop by Waddle stocked into the end 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:10.000 zone of Miami by tight brown type window. They had 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:12.119 to get that touchdown on that play. They get it. 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:19.240 What is up, Dolphans And welcome to the Drivetime Podcast, 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.680 part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:27.440 your Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.320 host Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, with the off 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:36.600 season officially officially here, let's do a free agency primer 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.839 and mock draft roundup. We'll examine Pro Football Focus is 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.880 fresh off the press top two hundred free agents list. 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.120 We'll take a peek at Daniel Jeremiah Jordan, read the 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.879 Draft Network and a few others and where they have 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.120 the Dolphins going with the twenty ninth pick in this 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.360 year's draft. And we'll also count down Jalen Waddle's top 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.320 five plays from his record breaking rookie season. From somewhere 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:05.360 in South Florida. This is the Drive Time Podcast. So 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.440 we heard Pellicero on the podcast on Monday and he 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.000 reported the Dolphins will be hiring Frank Smith to the 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.960 offensive coordinator position. He is formerly the offensive line coach 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.120 and running game coordinator of the Los Angeles Chargers. We're 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.880 gonna cover the coaching hires here in All One podcast 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.920 when we have that official for you guys here with 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.840 the Miami Dolphins. Now, that draft order coming up here 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.440 in just two and a half months now has crystallized 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.880 at least a little bit in the first round, still 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.759 have the comp picks to factor in, but for now 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.360 we know that Miami is going to pick and barring 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.280 any trades or movement, and then that third rounder will 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.480 come towards the end of the third round with the 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.400 Niners compensatory pick, so somewhere in the nineties seven to 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.000 low one hundreds range there. So how about a mock 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.320 draft round up? But first before we get to that, 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.040 because the start of the new league year is now 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.720 just one month the way and the opening of the 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:06.680 first major player acquisition period with free agency and Pro 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.280 Football Focus just produced this week following the Super Bowl. 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.919 Pretty smart layout there their top one or rather two 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.000 hundred free agents available, and I want to go over 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.880 that list and just talk about it. Of Course, we 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.919 know the Dolphins have the most available cap space as 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.160 it stands right now, and of course they, like all teams, 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.960 have avenues to free up even more space. So what 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.600 could that room actually produce this Dolphins team In the 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.520 off season, there are obviously a couple of big decisions 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:37.480 coming with in house free agents, notably Emmanuel Augbon Mike Sicky, 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.280 and therein lies the message we have to convey off 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.959 the top, because if you type those guys names and 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.080 on Twitter or Google, you're gonna find fans sites and 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.800 the like with commentary pieces suggesting we should go sign 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.680 that defensive end or that tight end. So all of 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.080 this comes with the caveat that each one of these 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.239 guys could just boomerang back to their original squad. In fact, 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.880 I say almost the majority of the time that's what happens. 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.760 But as we sit here on the sixteenth of February, 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.600 here's my take on the Pro Football Focus Top two 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.040 hundred free agents available this year. So I thought about 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.760 how to do this. Should I break it into like 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.840 twenty per episode and drag it out for a couple 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.280 of weeks. That might still be an option. We'll see 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.640 and talk about these guys more in depth, but I 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.800 wanted to take a look at just a highlighter view 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.320 of going through this and noting the interesting elements and 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.680 how it could impact the Dolphins approach. You know, I 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.160 also wanted to look at it from my roster allocation standpoint. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.200 I mean, only only quarter cornerbacks on this Dolphins roster 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.360 or even in the top fifteen of the league in 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.480 terms of how much cash commitments the Dolphins have to 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.760 that position. It's number three in the NFL, but pretty 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.360 much every other positions in the mid to late twenties. So, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.920 like we've talked about, if you want your blue chip 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.480 prized free agent allah Byron Jones two years ago, you 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.120 can pretty much do it wherever you want to on 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.680 this roster, and quite honestly, you could probably swing two 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.600 or maybe even three of those types of players. I 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.880 just I look at the options and what teams have 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.560 done with the free agency window over the last few years, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.360 and I just think it's an incredibly undervalued mode of 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.480 improving your football team. And even that statement might get 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.560 greeted with some backlash since it really is the second, 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.800 if not the premier player acquisition event of the calendar, 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.000 along with the NFL Draft. But I do feel as 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.440 though it creates or catches rather a bit of a 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.640 bad rap and that the sentiment can sometimes be negative 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.480 when a team adds a really good football player and look, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.480 I get a free agency by design can lore teams 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.919 into traps. But because of market demand, you can wind 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.919 up with getting you know, players with average too above 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.200 average production in their career pushed up to the top 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.480 of the available market just because of what the rest 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.360 of their position group offers in free agency. And then 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.120 that can lead to some deals that players simply can 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.279 never live up to. And that's the entire idea of 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.280 the National Football League. Right, you get X amount of resources, 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.840 now go see if you can allocate them better the 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.800 your thirty one competitors. Just look at last year for instance, 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.680 like Corey Davis, a very good wide receiver, signs with 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.360 the Jets. According to over the Cap, it's a twelve 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.040 point six million cap hit for him on the Jets. 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.000 That's the ninth highest cap commitment to a receiver in 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.760 one Then in a draft where Jamaar Chase and Jalen 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.919 Waddle and Davante Smith are all sitting there and producing 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.719 number one receiver value on the draft board, that's where 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.200 you can see the disconnect on true free agent value. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.440 And you will see this multiple times at every position. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.320 Just to continue the thought from over the Cap dot Com. 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.280 I mean, pick your team and you can find one 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.799 like the fact that Tyler Boyd counted nine million against 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.839 the cap for the Bengals last year, while Jamar Chase 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.160 was just five point six million, or like the Cowboys 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.280 with a Marie Cooper twenty two million against the cap 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.159 and Ceedee Lamb just three point two. This idea of 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.480 balance between veteran and rookie contract and how to do 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.800 that and how to allocate your resources. Now, the nice 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.240 part for a team like Miami, when you've got the 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.160 quarterback still on the rookie deal, you can afford to 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.279 do some of this and and maybe even in some 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:07.120 instances extend yourself above market value for that roster fit 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.240 and that roster needs. So while maybe you do have 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.000 to overpay a little bit compared to market value and 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.240 the inflation that free agent market can often bring, the 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.280 idea is that you make your football team as good 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.919 as you possibly can, right and when you aren't paying 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.359 that quarterback thirty forty million dollars, you don't have to 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.440 make these concessions at other spots. All all the Cowboys 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.440 with Byron Jones two years ago. So it's a Yin 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.960 and Yang situation. Back to the detractions, and let's go 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.359 ahead and start with that Cowboys team and that team 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.440 and a thought that first the argument always starts, well, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.480 why did this team allow that player to leave in 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.720 the first place? And fair point, but counter that there 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.800 are always going to be circumstances that make it make sense. 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.760 Back to Byron Jones, one of the game's very best 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.880 cornerbacks for years with the Cowboys there and they knew 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.679 they had to pay Dak Prescott, Zeke Elliott, Ile Collins, 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.599 Tyrant Smith to Marcus Lawrence, Mary Cooper. That's a roster 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.640 that has the majority of its cap tied up in 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.240 the top seven or eight players on their squad. And 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.120 that's how just how they do it. Every team does 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.679 it differently, and that's how a Byron Jones can shake 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.360 free because there's just on a space for another one 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.360 of those guys, and he happens to be the one 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:18.720 that was a free agent do at the time. But 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.520 it's absolutely imperative to understand why a player is hitting 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.160 the market. I mean, if there was no such thing 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.080 as a valuable free agency acquisition, and no one's saying 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.320 that it's a straw man. But you get like this 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.240 backlash you're gonna get inevitably when free agent signed uh, 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.400 you know they went too far on that player. Then 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.080 why are teams out there spending cash every single spring 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.120 if it's not effective? Then to further that point right 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.360 into my point B teams have utilized free agency to 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.920 take their team to the next level. And I really 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.440 think it began earnest back with the Denver Broncos and 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.680 some of those Super Bowl years in the early twenty 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.640 teams whatever you call that one win, one loss where 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.760 they got Wes Welker, Emmanuel Sanders to Marcus Ware, DJ 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.400 Ward and oh yeah, Peyton Manning. Obviously a unique case 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.280 there with the Ladder, But what about more recently, what 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.760 about a team who built a twenty year dynasty on 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.960 the idea of draft, get four years of production, say 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.680 goodbye and free agency, collect the compics and just keep 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.480 the train rolling. The Patriots, that's who we're talking about, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.080 have a sub five hundred season one time and say 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.119 forget all that, and they go out and signed Aguilar Born, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.680 Henry Smith, Godshot, Judon van Noy and most of those hit. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.280 Some of them didn't. But that's how free agency goes, 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.400 and that's how it all goes. Free agency, the draft trades, 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.960 You're not gonna about one thousand. But the Patriots did 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.280 that and went from seven wins to ten wins and 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.200 a playoff berth, largely on the back of their free 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.920 agent class. How about the Bengals representing the Super Bowl 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.800 this year. Seven of their eleven starters, who were the 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.439 primary reason they made this run right goal line stops 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.560 at the end of the wild card and Championship game 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.360 and got the interception right before the Titans broached field 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.600 goal range. Three consecutive games, three huge drives by the defense, 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.800 a bunch of picks and takeaways and sacks as well, 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:01.839 and then damn near did it again in the Super 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.680 Bowl before all those flags came out after about forty 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.920 seven stops in a row on the Rams offense. But 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.520 I digress. So if you say it's impossible to get 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:14.079 guys to up to speed quickly in free agency, it's not. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:19.319 DJ Reader, Von Bell, Shadow Wouzier, Mcat Mackenzie, Alexander Eli Apple, 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.800 Larry Oak, and job Trey Hendrickson. All these guys signed 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.960 in the last two years and made a huge impact 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.440 on an a f C Championship title winner. They didn't 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:29.599 want the Super Bowl, but they want the a f C. 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.360 And to put a bow on this spield of a preamble, 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.000 I just wanted to spell the notion of blanket statements 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.600 in any avenue in this league and this sport, really 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.640 any walk of life. Like no quote. You can't build 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.600 a team through free agency, but also no, we need 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.880 to sign top of the market players at position X, 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.960 y and Z. Nope, explore every situation case by case 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.760 and determine where the true value lies. That's my argument, 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.319 long winded. Let's go ahead and kick off the quarterbacks 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.840 portion of this top two hundred Pro Football Focus free 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.000 agent list, and first up on the list at number 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.600 forty one and one quarterbacks is Jamis Winston. He had 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.280 an a C L Terra midseason, played a much safer 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.680 brand of quarterback than we saw in Tampa Bay where 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.559 his career began, and you have to imagine he gets 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.360 some potential starter money, if not in New Orleans. Up 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.080 next Bridgewater, number forty nine. Curious to see what type 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.319 of deal he gets. Could easily see him landing in 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.679 a situation with a young quarterback where he's kind of 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.199 the experienced number two there, which of course you can 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.960 always afford when you have that rookie deal at the 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.800 starting position. Speaking of guys that went the backup route, 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.680 Marcus Mariota's number seventy, Andy Dalton's one, third team, Ryan 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.360 Fitzpatrick one seventeen, and then Mitch Robiski is one and 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.439 he could be interesting, and that he has starting experience, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.040 probably some more upside as he's a younger player at 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.280 the position, and he has a skill set where you 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.320 can get him on the field occasionally with some potential 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.240 razzle dazzle. How about wide receivers. Number one player on 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.280 the entire list is in this position group, Davante Adams 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.040 of the Packers. He's gonna break records with his contract 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.280 for non quarterbacks, whether that's with Green Bay or elsewhere. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.040 He's the best receiver in football. And here in lies 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.840 the point of my preamble. We talked about market value. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.520 Because this class is so deep, maybe you have the 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.040 opposite effect of teams having to pony up top of 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.160 market dollars for players who have not produced at that level, 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.120 because this market is chock full of players who have produced. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.079 Chris Godwin's number three overall He's a phenomenal player, one 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.160 of the best in the game. Mike Williams number seven 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.240 from the Chargers. Another great receiver, Alan Robinsons number ten, 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.880 four players in the top ten or receivers on our 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.720 list of top two hundred free agents. Robinson's also a 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:38.040 tremendous player at number ten. Number nineteen is Odell Beckham Jr. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.920 Who had a great run here with the Rams, and 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.720 then Michael Gallant from the Cowboys, who I absolutely loved, 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.040 is number twenty eight overall. So that's four five six 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.680 players in the top twenty eight, four in the top ten. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.120 Do these guys shake free? How much do they wind 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:54.480 up costing? It's a great crop of free agent wide receivers. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.040 You also have Juju Smith Schuster at forty two, Christian 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.880 Kirk at fifty dj more at fifty one than some 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.440 others that stand out. One oh three is Cedric Wilson 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.840 from the Cowboys. It's been a nice complimentary piece there. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.880 Isaiah McKenzie from Buffalo two hundred. I also like his 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.480 game a whole heck of a lot too. He's interesting 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.600 there as well. The running back position. Quardurell Patterson kicks 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:16.479 us off at number thirty eight. I've long been fascinated 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.520 by his career, even more so now that he kind 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.040 of became the lynchpin of that Falcon's offense as a 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.280 running back more than a receiver. He does both of them. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.600 But you watched that Falcons team last year. They were 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.319 best when Quardourell Patterson was cranking Lenny four net number 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.040 sixty eight. Then the Arizona running backs James Conner seventy one, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.160 Chase Edmund seventy eight, and you get Melvin Gore eight eight. 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.800 Then more than one hundred spots later, j D mckissic 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.880 at one eight nine has had a nice career as 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.560 a kind of third down receiving back, and then Raheem 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.360 Mostert checks in at one eight seven. I did that backwards, 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.720 but sometimes that's just how a dyslexic mind tends to operate. 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.960 So the running back position, there's some interesting guys here 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.439 in terms of their flexibility. Obviously, Cordrirell Patterson mentioned that already, 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.920 in terms of being able to do multiple things and 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.760 kind of power inside ouside runners from trickeration, they're involved 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.440 as well. Interesting class there. The draft also kind of 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.880 that same, like interesting names, but not the deepest and 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.720 best group we've seen in recent years at the running 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.440 back spot. How about tight ends. It starts with an 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.920 incumbent and Mike got Sicky at number twenty we know 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.920 what he does well. Number twenty one Dalton Schultz from Dallas. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.040 Number thirty eight Rob Gronkowski, and these two guys are 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.800 really two guys that do it all in terms of block, 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.280 run game, pass game, and I'm curious to see if 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.400 Grant calls it a career. But Schultz is just entering 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.640 his prime. Really, you have to imagine he sets the 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.760 market there at the position, and with seventy eight catches 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.239 and tons of good work in the blocking game, it's 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.400 I'll be curiously what he gets. I'll also be curious 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.400 see what David and Joke Wu's market looks like. I 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.160 say that because I subscribe to the always invest in 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.920 talent idea like Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks has had 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.720 for a long time on the Move the Sticks podcast, 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.920 and I don't think in Joke Who's production has matched 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.679 his talent at this point of his career. And that's 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.400 kind of what I was getting at in the preamble, 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.920 scouring for the best potential market buys who could out 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.720 performed their perceived value. This is a pretty good class 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.720 to zach Urge fifty eight, Gerald Everett sixty two, Evan 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.760 Ingram seventy three, Max Williams ninety five, Moiley Cox a 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:10.839 big blocking tight in there for the Colts one oh eight, 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.080 and then Robert Tonyan and then not until one seventy 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.400 two do we get another tight end with Jared Cook. 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.920 How about the interior offensive line one of the stronger 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.320 groups here in terms of players on this free agent 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.800 class with number twelve, the center from the Buccaneers, Ryan Jensen. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.600 He was on my radar back in when he was 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:33.120 with the Ravens, and he's only gotten better. Jensen strengths 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.040 really are finishing and maintaining blocks and blocking in space. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.280 PFF has graded him in the seventie percentile or better 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.080 the last three years among all centers in both gap 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.800 in zone scheme, so he's well diversed there. And then 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.080 at guard, Brandon Schurff is back up after getting tagged 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.360 last couple of seasons, two tags in a row, and 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.440 availability is really the only thing with him. He missed 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.800 four games last year and but he's one of the 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.000 best guards in all of football. Brandon Schuff has been 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.560 a long time. At twenty six, you've also got Lincoln Tomlinson, 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.840 who spent the last five years with McDaniel in San 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.560 Francisco and PF where it's that he's developed into one 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.840 of the game's best guards under Kyle shanahan and McDaniel, 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.080 and he started with the Lions, so he's played both 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.160 in gapings on schemes, versatile, nasty finisher, and he excels 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.360 in space. And the list keeps rolling here the number 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.120 thirty eight, Connor Williams, played the last thirty three games 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.520 over the last two years with the Cowboys. PF notes 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.560 his combo blocking and working out in space and on 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.640 the move. At number forty, James Daniels, an awesome prospect 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.800 from Iowa a couple of years ago. He's not even 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.320 twenty four yet. Strengths and pass blocking as well as 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.080 zone run blocking. Forty six Titans, Ben Jones, fifty three, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.120 the Austin Corbette from the Rams, the guard fifty six, 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.600 Andrew Norwell, who got a huge contract from the Jaguars 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.640 four years back. UH sixty four Alex Cappa. I wonder 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.920 if Tampa Bay can keep both he and Jensen and Godwin. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.520 He's only scratching the surface on what he can do 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.240 and it's a lot. And then sixties seven Brian Allen, 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.360 the center from the Chargers had a break or rather 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.400 the Rams, I should say, had a breakout season in 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.600 one and comes from the same system that coach McDaniel 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.400 has talked about and rounding out center Bradley Bozeman at 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.400 four then a big gap to Trade Turner at one nineteen, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.720 Quentin Spain at one, Matt Parrotis at one two, and 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.600 Ted Carriss at one three. Interesting crop there at tackle 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.960 number two to Ron Armstead on the overall big board, 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.440 number two as an all pro type of player who 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.360 will be thirty one by the time training camp starts. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.080 And he's missed games every year. That's really the only 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.880 knock on him. Nine last year, to the year before that, 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.520 one before that, six the previous year, and then six 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.760 the year before that as well, So he's missed plenty 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.520 of time, but he's played really well when he's out there. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.480 Number nine on the overall list. Orlando Brown have to 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.120 imagine Casey tries to strike a deal there after trading 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.920 a first round pick last year. Length can block out 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.640 the sun a huge tackle. Number thirty two is Dwayne Brown, 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.120 one of the most consistent solid players of the last 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.080 decade for two different clubs, entering age thirty six season. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.200 But we also saw Andrew Whitworth play well into his 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.720 forties or play well into his forty age forty season. 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.440 We'll see if he can do the same thing, and 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.920 that's probably the line of demarcation terms of costs. Next 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.960 you have fifty seven Morgan Moses, fifty eight Eric Fisher, 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:09.560 seventy Trent Brown, Riley leet reef Germain Effetty, and then 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.560 one eight team Brandon Show. Again, this could all change 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.080 in the next month, but it's a really really deep 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:18.359 class at receiver, tight end, and on the interior offensive line, 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.600 and depending on how the next month goes, there could 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.159 be some plug and play tackle options we shall see. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.240 It's also very very deep tackle class in this draft. 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.560 Continuing our off season theme, next we'll do a mock 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.960 draft roundup and go around the web taking a look 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.400 at a handful of fresh off the presses mock drafts 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.800 and also talk about the defensive side of free agency. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:42.639 All that. Next here Drivetime Podcast with Travis Wingfield. We 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.240 are presented by Auto Nation here on the Drivetime Podcast 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.280 with Travis Wingfield. We've gone over the free agency class 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.359 a little bit here, and with the Super Bowl coming 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.720 and going, that always means we get a bunch of 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.040 mock draft to look over. We'll get to that right 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.960 after the defense here as we pick it back up 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.560 with the PFF top two free agents, starting with the 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:05.000 interior defensive line. Number twenty three is the first position 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:06.760 that checks in here and a Cheme Hicks of the 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.520 Chicago Bears one of the very best. He'll be expensive 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.359 at number thirty. Calais Campbell, sixty nine full Runzo Foncasi 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.200 from the Jets, seventy six, B J. Hill seventy seven, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.040 d J. Jones from the Niners, eighty one Linval Joseph 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.560 and number eighty five Sebastian Joseph Day. And the reason 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.119 I kind of cut that list short and just didn't 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.040 go that far into it is because we've talked about 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.520 this so many times, how deep Miami is and that's 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.840 position group, how young they are, and how they have 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.040 guys under contract for the next season, and just looking 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:36.960 forward for some more progress from that group if they 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.960 add to it fantastic, That's always a welcome sign. But 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.880 this position group, I think is one of Miami's strongest 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.960 and deepest off the edge. A bunch of players in 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.320 this group number four, Von Miller, number five, Chandler Jones, 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:53.640 number thirteen, Jadeveon Clowney fourteen, Randy Gregory at number twenty two, 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.840 our own Emmanuel Ogba, Melvin Ingram's twenty four, Hassan Reddecks 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:01.280 thirty one, Harold Landry's thirty three, at thirty seven Justin 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.280 Houston every two positions to the edge player thirty nine, 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.280 Jerry Hughes fifty four, Derek Barnett. And that's where your 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.200 big lineup demarcation comes. One oh seven Charles Harris, one 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:14.639 oh nine, Jason Pierre Paul one seven Uchennwosu, the outside 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.480 rusher for the Chargers. I wanted to lay that out 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.399 first because it just speaks to the depth of the group. 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.200 Not to mention it's another really good class of edge 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.159 defenders in this upcoming draft. So I'm very intrigued to 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:30.240 see what that does to the market. Does it deluded 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.080 a little bit? Miller Jones, Those guys are gonna be 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.760 market resenters, So maybe that can calm the secondary wave 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.359 at the position and maybe you find some bargains. Just 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.639
