1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: Good evening, Stealer Nation, How we do it? That's good

4
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: us too, our number two. What a fun Friday we're

5
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: having here.

6
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little different feel here in the studio, right.

7
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: It's been. It was a good Friday afternoon. Now into

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: the evening. We got to see Britt Floyd play a

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: trio of songs here in our iHeart studios.

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. Bert Kreischer was here this morning.

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: Kreischer was here this morning. We had Jack Ham on

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: the show in the first hours. Listen. All Fridays are

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: a good thing, but all fridays are not created equal.

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: I think this was the first.

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: Day of spring too or something today. I think yesterday

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: right in that time.

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: It's like some decent weather on the horizon for this

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: thing too. So I will certainly take it and Matt

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: the people ask for it, and so we give it

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: to him. It is mock Draft Day. We're going to

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: continue to do this. We'll do this once a week

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: now through through the end of April. Uh, maybe even

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: ramp it up a little bit more than that when

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: we get you know, a week or so away from

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: from the draft, and we're really staring down the barrel

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty six NFL Draft here of course,

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: on the north shore Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So before we get started,

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: we'll do the same thing I think still to this point,

29
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: just three rounds, right.

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: That's why if you want it comes five picks.

31
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty significant.

32
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the way that the Minsteelers havening those extra

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: picks makes you know, two days worth pretty nice.

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely five, So we'll go through five picks in the

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: top ninety nine for the Steelers here.

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: We've done one in a while, So maybe just put

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: like no parameter.

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: I was just gonna ask you you wanted to do

39
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: any parameters?

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, I see how it goes.

41
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: I think you're right. Let's see how it goes.

42
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: So, of course, the Steelers the two things when I

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: when I post them online, you know here and there,

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: the two things I get criticize for are you trade

45
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: down a lot and you take max I Incher All

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: the time, I'm like, yeah, I do. I can't lie.

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Matt, we have a type, okay, yeah, we

48
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: we we certainly have a type. But I'll tell you

49
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: as I fire up this edition of the Mock Draft Simulator,

50
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: some people will be very well, the people who want

51
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: different outcomes in different scenarios, And I understand it. That's

52
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: a big that's a big part of this process.

53
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

54
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna be happy because the last two weeks

55
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: that you and I have done this, both times we

56
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: have taken Venga Ione true Joanna. That's actually how what

57
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: I need to do is get the clip, the little

58
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: drop of him pronouncing his name Venga Joanna. That's how

59
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: he said it at the combine. He goes in this

60
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: one fifteenth to the Bucks, so he will not be

61
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: an option for us at twenty one. So we will

62
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: have a dict.

63
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: Next stuff happens, same.

64
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Here, same here, a little different. At the top of

65
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: this one, Fernanda Mendozo of course goes first, but Jeremiah

66
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: Love second to the Jets. I can't see that happen

67
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: because of Breece Hall.

68
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: But he's not gonna make it that twenty one.

69
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: He's not gonna make it twenty one anyways. Sonny Style three,

70
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: Reuben Bain Junior four, r Vel Reese not until five

71
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: to the Giants. I think John Harbaugh would be doing

72
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: jumping out if he could do that. The Browns do

73
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: go offensive line Francis Mauigoa at pick six. David Bailey

74
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: to the Commanders at pick seven, Mansord Delaane stays in Louisiana.

75
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: The LSU guy goes to the Saints pick nine, The

76
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs select Caleb Downs safety from Ohio State pick ten. See.

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 2: I don't think this would happen either, but I doubt

78
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: he's making it to twenty one, so it probably doesn't matter.

79
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: But the Bengals take Carnell Tait, wide receiver out of

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: Ohio Street.

81
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they would take him, and I

82
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: don't think he'd make it a twenty one, so well.

83
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: Pick eleven Monroe Freeling the tackle out of Georgia, who

84
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: continues to rapidly rise up draft boards. The Cowboys at

85
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: pick twelve take Dylan Thinnemon, So there goes one of

86
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: my draft crushes. So Venga and Fennemon both off the board.

87
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 2: Jordan Tyson thirteen to the Rams. My goodness, that would

88
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: be the type of greed they speak about in the Bible.

89
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

90
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: The Ravens do what they need to do address the

91
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: offensive line. They take Spencer Fanu at fourteen and like.

92
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: A guard for him.

93
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: Like I said, Bucks, take Venga at fifteen. If you

94
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: were Baltimore and those two guys were both there at fourteen,

95
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: could could you reasonably I don't want to say justify,

96
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: but would you be shocked if they went with Fannu

97
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: instead of Wenger? Or is that that fair?

98
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: If you just looked at Fawnu as only a guard,

99
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 3: I could sort of understand it. He moves better, he's

100
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: not as much of a masher. But from what I understand, though,

101
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a whole different conversation. The arm

102
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: length stuff is getting crazy in this whole process the

103
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: last couple of years, because I guess Fawnu's arms were

104
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: like five eighths of an inch longer it is pro

105
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: day than they were the combine like this has happened

106
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: for a couple of years now, or whoever is measuring

107
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: the combine doesn't know what they're doing, or somewhere there's

108
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: a problem here.

109
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: Hey, you gotta get Matt Williamson in there. Let him

110
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: show you how he's done. So Spawnu at fourteen, Venga

111
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: at fifteen. Mackay Lemon goes to the Jets at sixteen,

112
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: a Key Messador to the Lions at seventeen, Jermad McCoy

113
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: to the Vikes at eighteen, Keldrick falk Ed rusher out

114
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: of Auburn nineteen to the Carolina Panthers, and then C. J.

115
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: Allen linebacker out of Georgia goes twentieth to the Cowboys.

116
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: So Steelers on the clock at twenty one, Matt, here

117
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: is what we are looking at. Yes, your boy max

118
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: Ian h R. Is still there, sure, and I have

119
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: in terms of what we've done for mock drafts yet,

120
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: we have not taken him yet on this show. Kenyon Sadik,

121
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: Emmanuel McNeil, Warren, Avion Terrell, Omar Cooper, Junior, Blake Miller,

122
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: Caden Procter still there, Kaden McDonald's still there, Denzel Boston

123
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: still there, Caleb Banks still there. This would be a

124
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: very interesting scenario because I like a lot of these

125
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: names too, but twenty one might be a little too rich. Yeah,

126
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: this would be a I'm looking at the potential trade

127
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: down scenarios here.

128
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm all yours on that.

129
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: So it looks like the Browns are offering us the

130
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: twenty fourth pick that they have from Jacksonville and their seventieth.

131
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 3: Oh, let me stop you, because Dale and I.

132
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: No divisional trades. Yeah, you're right if.

133
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: You're deals with the Browns, Bengals, and raven.

134
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: Because that's fair and it's not gonna happen.

135
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: We don't do business with them.

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen. Let's see, the Bears are willing

137
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: to give pick twenty five and pick sixty for this

138
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: pick twenty one. I would really consider it.

139
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was strongly considered. They only be.

140
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 2: Moving down four spots. The Jets willing to give thirty

141
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: three and the Cowboys forty fourth pick, so you'd get

142
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: the first pick of the second round and an extra

143
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: second rounder, so you would have three second rounds and

144
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: three third rounds.

145
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: We salk business with the Bears.

146
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: Wait, that would be interesting, Yeah, that would be nice.

147
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 2: The Bears are the ones other than the Browns offering

148
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: you the highest first round pick, Jets, Cardinals, Lions, Rams

149
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: offering second round or two's a pair of second round

150
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: so if you want to stay in the first round

151
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: in chicago's the only realistic option here because we're not

152
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: doing business with Cleveland exactly.

153
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: So let's counter their offer with throwing a fourth next year,

154
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: and you got a deal. Okay, I want something next year.

155
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: So we're asking for pick twenty one, are we We're

156
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: asking for twenty five sixty, yeah, and a fourth from

157
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: next year.

158
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: You're saying, yeah, I think that's enough to get it done.

159
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: Says this trade will not be accepted.

160
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 3: Really, Well, let's throw in a late round pick this

161
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: year to get to get a couple off our Okay,

162
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: I like trying to make that a little more feasible.

163
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: How about one, two, three, We're not going to make

164
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: that many picks anyways, we throw in a six from

165
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 3: this year or something like that, or two later picks. Binega,

166
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: what however, you gotta do it. Let's see.

167
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: Mm hmmmmm hmmm. What if we do interesting, they're still not,

168
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: Like even if I add fifth or six round picks,

169
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: they're still not. They don't want to They don't want

170
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: to part with that fourth round er from next year.

171
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: Well that's fine, I mean I would do the deal

172
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: without it. I was just trying to milk more out

173
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: of them.

174
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I it's not bad. They they countered with. How

175
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: about just this pick twenty five and pick sixty for

176
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: pick twenty one, and pick eighty five.

177
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: Well didn't didn't they offer those two for.

178
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: Just wait, no, one second. Then we'd be yeah, we'd

179
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: be going back in both of those.

180
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,239
Speaker 3: That's not that's not what we Yeah.

181
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: No, no, no, sorry, we'd be moving up from eighty

182
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: five to sixty. So we'd move back from twenty one

183
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: to twenty five, but we'd be moving up from eighty

184
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: five to sixty.

185
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 3: Wasn't the original deal?

186
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: I think that was similar to the original deal.

187
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: I thought the original deal was their first and sixty.

188
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: They're yes, their first and sixty for pick twenty one

189
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: and and what was it?

190
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 3: It realize me to put something else in besides the

191
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: twenty one?

192
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah it was? Was it ninety nine? Maybe that's okay, sorry,

193
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: that's what it was. Their original offer was picked twenty

194
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: five and pick sixty for pick twenty one and pick

195
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: ninety nine. Okay, so you would move back four spots

196
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 2: in the first round, but you would trade your last

197
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: third rounder for Buffalo's second for the DJ more pick.

198
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 3: I'm in. I think I'm in for that too, Yeah,

199
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: I'm in.

200
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: You pick up an extra, you move from the third,

201
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: You basically move back for spots to swap your last

202
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: third round pick for a late second.

203
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: Round or late second move up more than thirty picks

204
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: on Day two.

205
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: Should we do it?

206
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

207
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it, all right? Oh, come on, it's

208
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: gonna make me pay for the pro football focused thing

209
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 2: to do it here. Yeah, you gotta be you gotta

210
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: be kidding me here. Well, all right, if that's the case, Matt.

211
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: Then we won't do trade.

212
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: Then we won't do trade.

213
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: That's fine.

214
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, I am looking at Maxie

215
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: and it I'm looking at Kaden Proctor.

216
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: I say, I like both. Those would be my two selections.

217
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: This would be my yep, my guys, I clearly you

218
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: favor Max out.

219
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, group not by leaps and bounds. They're the exact

220
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: same tier for me. I'd be very happy with either

221
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,119
Speaker 3: of twenty one. I think both would start their careers

222
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: at guard and probably go to left tackle, but maybe not.

223
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: Cooker Jones might be my long term answer, and they

224
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: might just stay at left guard forever, and I'd be

225
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 3: very comfortable with that too.

226
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: Hmmm. I like I like mad Max here. I know

227
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 2: that I know that you've done that in a lot

228
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: of your separate ones and some of the stuff you

229
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: do on Twitter, but we have it yet on the show. Cool,

230
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: So I think I'd take it. I would love it

231
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: if we got them at pick twenty five and swapped

232
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: a third rounder for a second rounder, which I think

233
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: would be a realistic outcome here.

234
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: But that was kind of my thighs. I figured one

235
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: of the two will probably get to twenty five. Yes,

236
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: you know, there's no guarantee, but that was the risk

237
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: I was willing to take.

238
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: But like the Chargers behind, the Steelers aren't taking a tackle.

239
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: No, maybe they always could.

240
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: Browns not if they already had not if they already

241
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: took freeling, and then we'd be at pick twenty.

242
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: Five and I don't think the Bears were moving up

243
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: for a tackle. Yeah, I'd like our chances of getting

244
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: one of the two.

245
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: I wish we could have executed that trade. I'll have it,

246
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: you know what too. I do have a I do

247
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: have a Pro Football Focus account, but I'm not going

248
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: to take the time to sign out all that stuff

249
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: right now. We're just gonna draft max E Nhure, tackle

250
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 2: slash guard out of Arizona State University with our first

251
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: round pick, all right back on the board here at

252
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 2: fifty three, and oh, Matt, this if this actually played out,

253
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: I think this would be an easy one. But you know,

254
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: real quick, let's see here Sidiq went next. A Manuel

255
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: McNeil Warren to the Eagles. I think that would make

256
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: a lot of sense for them, Omar Cooper Junior to

257
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: the Browns, Caden McDonald to the Bears. So yeah, we

258
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: would have had our choice of both of those guys.

259
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: Still side noted, I think we want Sidiq to be

260
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: on the board at twenty one. Like you could you

261
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: look at two ways, like if he falls, I'm glad

262
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: you're bringing this up up. Yeah, Like if he falls,

263
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: you're like, why was it gonna take him anyway? So

264
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: somebody else moves one spot closer. But I could see

265
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: him being one of the few dudes that late in

266
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: the draft that a playoff team might trade.

267
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: A playoff team calls and says, we'll give you pick

268
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: twenty nine right and an extra thing or a third

269
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: rounder next year, you know which. You would love to

270
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: start building up some capital for next.

271
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 3: Year, because I don't think picking a twenty one is

272
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 3: all that much different than twenty seven or twenty eight

273
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: in this draft.

274
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: You know, I concur Caden Procter goes off the board

275
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: thirtieth to the Dolphins. That's the Jaylen Wattle pick from

276
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: the from the Broncos. Caleb Banks goes off the board

277
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: of the Patriots. Denzel Boston to the Seahawks. A little

278
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: bit of a run on these interior defensive linemen. Peter

279
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: Woods goes off the board, Lee Hunter off the board.

280
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: Did any of them go in the first round?

281
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: Uh?

282
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: Just Banks at pick thirty one? Gotcha, Zion Young, Emanuel

283
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: Pregnant oh Man. I would really like this for the

284
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: Raiders if they were able to get him in the

285
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: second round. Yeah, I mean you put you plug him

286
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: next to Linderbush there and Jackson powers Johnson, and you

287
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: might have the future of your interior offensive line for

288
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: a long time. Christian Miller goes off the board. Brandon

289
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: Sissi to the Browns at thirty nine, Casey Concepcion to

290
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: the Chiefs at forty, Jacob Rodriguez at forty two to

291
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: the Saints. Caleb Lomu goes to the Dolphins at forty three.

292
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: I tell you what for Miami, if you were able

293
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: to get you get Procter a Lomu out of this

294
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: class that's a nice start to here. That's a nice

295
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: start to your rebuild. Chase Bistanis goes to the Colts

296
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: at forty seven. Jake Galladay, another one of those off

297
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: ball linebackers, goes to the Packers at pick fifty two.

298
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: Matt This would be albeit unrealistic. Ty Simpson is still

299
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: on the board and has not yet been drafted, and

300
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 2: I think that that's unrealistic. But if you could get

301
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: him at pick fifty three, I think that's a very

302
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: I don't know about easy decision, but a very enticing decision.

303
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: It's certainly something you gotta think about.

304
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: But I just don't think that's realistic for him to last.

305
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: There's once a while we do these be like I

306
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: just think that's a little too unrealistic. Who are the receivers.

307
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: Though, receivers? There's some ones to like. Chris Brazil is

308
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,359
Speaker 2: still available, Skyler Bell still available, Bryce Lance still available.

309
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: So not the the run on receivers has happened.

310
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: They they're not picked through.

311
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: But so that's kind of where I was looking to,

312
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: is that at this point, if you want to add

313
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: a receiver with one of your top two picks, and

314
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: you really want to get one of those top seven

315
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: eight nine guys.

316
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: Yance. I know we didn't we didn't make the trade,

317
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: but it's I think we got to take one of

318
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: the whiteouts.

319
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: I do too. Chris Brasel, Skyler Bell, Elijah Surrat, Zach

320
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch.

321
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: I think i'd go to Serrat. Yeah, yeah, I like.

322
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: That because that's a little again. I like different, that's

323
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: different than what we've done, and amongst this group, I

324
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: think I might lean towards Brasl But here's my choice.

325
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: Serrat would be it would be my very different.

326
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: Is a real technician, tough guy, multiple spots. You can

327
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: line them up in Brazzle. If you watch just his

328
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: highlight tape, you'd be like, is he not a first

329
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: maybe the first year off the board? Right?

330
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: You want to go Elijah Surratt, Dude, I would do

331
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: it differently here. Let's do it so we get offensive

332
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: lineman and wide receiver with our first two picks. That

333
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: would be a very welcome scenario. Ty Simpson of course,

334
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 2: goes off the board pretty quickly. Let's see who went

335
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: right after the Steelers. Chris Brazzle goes two picks later

336
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: to the Chargers. Aj Houseley, the safety from Lsu that

337
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm warming up to goes fifty six to the Jags.

338
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: Ty Simpson finally drafted by the Cardinals, and that'd be

339
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: a nice that'd be nice for the Cardinals. Eli Stowers,

340
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: the tight end out of Vanderbilt that I really like,

341
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: goes to the Patriots. Josiah Trotter, Jeremiah Trotter's son, sixty

342
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: seven to the eight is there early in round three

343
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: trade Ann Stukes goes off the board at seventy one

344
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: to the Commanders, Zachariah Branch seventy four to the Chiefs,

345
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: and Kamari Ramsey right before the Steelers. He would have

346
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: been an interesting one. He goes seventy fifth to the Dolphins.

347
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: So let's do one more here before we take a break.

348
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: Pick number seventy six. This is our third selection for

349
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: the Steelers. Let's see Grayson Houghton, defensive linean out of Oklahoma,

350
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: is still there. Oh, Big Citrus is still there. Matt

351
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: max Clair tight end out of Ohio State, Kyle Lewis

352
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: is still there, Kyle Louis out of pre Be. I'd

353
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: be tempted. Anthony Hill, junior linebacker out of Texas. Really

354
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: probably really like that guy. Nuts is still there, Aller

355
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: is still there. Ted Hurst is still there, although we

356
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: just took a wide receiver, so I think it's too

357
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: early to go back. Let's look at just the safeties.

358
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: Genesis Smith is the key, Wheatley, Bud Clark, Kyle Lewis,

359
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: if you're counting him in that in that spot, those

360
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: are the safeties that are still available.

361
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: Anybody tickling you.

362
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 2: Big Big Citrus certainly.

363
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I would be.

364
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 2: I just wonder if Hill certainly. Yeah.

365
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 3: Hill's not the most physical guy, but boy he flies

366
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: around the field.

367
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: If I would sit down with Patrick Graham, yeah, in

368
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 2: a off the record but truth serum type conversation, and

369
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: he told me, I think Kyle Lewis can be one

370
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 2: of those great like yes, it's it could translate, translate,

371
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: it could work in our defense. Yeah, that might be

372
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: the guy here. But I think I'm narrowing it down

373
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: to Big Citrus and Anthony Hill Junior.

374
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: I just don't know if the Steelers are looking for

375
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: the traditional noses anymore. I mean, who's the last one

376
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 3: they've had that you would say is like a Hampton

377
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: like nose. It's been a long time, and Orange is

378
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: in that mold you know. I mean he's not a

379
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 3: massive pass rusher, but I think he's a good player,

380
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 3: and he certainly would have a role, and you can

381
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: move a lot of dudes around. I don't have a

382
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: strong feeling on either one of those. I mean, both

383
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 3: of them make a lot of sense to me. Hill's

384
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: pretty good for this late in the draft too.

385
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: He can be a top forty guy a lot of years,

386
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: and you're getting him at seventy six here. H and

387
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 2: then and then Kyle Lewis, like, listen, right, you can

388
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: accuse me of being a pit hater, but I am

389
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: at least honest. Those would be the three that I

390
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 2: would be. If it's my if it's if it's west

391
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: Uler's war room, and it's you know, we've got ten

392
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: minutes to make this decision on. It would be Big Citrus.

393
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: It would be Kyle Lewis, It would be Anthony Hill Junior.

394
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: I can understand any of the above.

395
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: Hmmm. I would love it if there was just a true,

396
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: pure safety here that was jumping off the screen.

397
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I might go Big Citrus. That's fine,

398
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: You're never gonna.

399
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: I just want to keep I want to keep adding

400
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: to the trench.

401
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: I want to keep adding the trenches too.

402
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Dominique Orange aka Big Citrus is our

403
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: seventy sixth overall first third round pick. Okay, before we

404
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: go to break, here's who because because the good part

405
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: about this is you're back on the clock nine picks later.

406
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, you may get one of the other.

407
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: For example, Anthony Hill went off the board to the jag,

408
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 2: but Kyle lewis still there at pick eighty five. Garrett

409
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 2: Nusmeyer still there at pick eighty five. Oh man, some

410
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: interesting options for the Steelers there at pick eighty Five's

411
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: a Key Wheatley, the safety out of Penn State. Who

412
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: we talked to Jack Ham about. Malachi Field's still there, Matt,

413
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: I didn't see him buried on the wide receiver list here.

414
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 2: So let's take a break here, you know this, Let's

415
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: leave you hanging a little bit. Where will we go

416
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: with our next mock draft selection? Here it'll be our

417
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: fourth overall pick, the second of the trio of third rounders.

418
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: We will pick up where we left off on the

419
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: other side. West Shouler, Matt Williamson. It is the Drive

433
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: Part two. Matt, you know, all right, the Best Things

434
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: in the World, Part one, Part two. Much like The Godfather,

435
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 2: we ignore that the third part exists and we just

436
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: focus on the first two. This is part two of

437
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: our three round weekly Steelers Mock draf. Eventually, at some

438
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: point we'll beef this thing up and we'll.

439
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, we'll go.

440
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 2: Yes, sure, we'll run the marathon. Right, a lot of picks,

441
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be a lot of picks and that

442
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: would take a full hour, I think maybe even more.

443
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: But for this exercise, we're doing these Steelers first three rounds,

444
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: which includes of course five picks. We have three picks

445
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: in the books for those who missed it. In our

446
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: previous segment. At the start of our number two pick

447
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: twenty one, we took max E. Nhure tackle guard offensive

448
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: linemen out of Arizona State. We would have accepted a

449
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 2: trade with the Bears to move down four spots and

450
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: as yeah and flip pick yeah, and I think we

451
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: still would have gotten them, and we would have moved

452
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: one of our third round picks to a second round pick,

453
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: so would have still gotten your guy at twenty five.

454
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: Then you get two second rounders and two third rounders

455
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: instead of one second rounder in the trio of third rounders.

456
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: But regardless, and.

457
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 3: Side note, if we would have pulled that off, I mean,

458
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 3: in the real world, it's harder to do on these,

459
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: but like two second rounders, I'd have been to shop

460
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 3: one one for next year next year's first yeah, right, right, right.

461
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And so we took Nhure first round, Elijah Surrat

462
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: wide receiver out of Indiana, second round, and big Citrus

463
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 2: Dominique Orange, the defensive lineman out of Iowa State, with

464
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: our first of three third round picks seventy sixth overall.

465
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: So I think that would do it for D lineman.

466
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: I've heard a recent signing and a third round pick.

467
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: I think you'd be done on the D line.

468
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: So where we before I get to the list of

469
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: names still available? Where are we looking for?

470
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: Here?

471
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: Safety still on the board.

472
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: Safety still on the board. Quarterback still on the board. Yeah,

473
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: I'd lean more and more to not taking one at

474
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: all unless you take a real late flyer. But I

475
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: could definitely be convinced, you know me, I get greedy

476
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: a second old lineman.

477
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: Second ol linman, second wide receiver.

478
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: Wide receiver. I mean, I think that's not crazy. With

479
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 3: these third these extra third round picks.

480
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: I think we could still add a linebacker at some point.

481
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that wouldn't be bad.

482
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: So here are the best available on the big board.

483
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: Caid Club Nick the number one quarterback. So Ty Simpson

484
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: obviously gone. Nuss went a couple picks before before we

485
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: took Wait, is Nuss still on the board? Hold the phone,

486
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: give me a second. No, I don't think he is.

487
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: He's been drafted. He's been drafted, so on the clock

488
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: at pick eighty five. Here are second of the three

489
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: third round picks. Albert Regis on the board from A

490
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: and M. But we're not going back to back defensive lineman.

491
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: No, I think the linemen are done.

492
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: You know what, Let me do this position by position.

493
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: Here's the wide receivers that are still available. Oh, Ted

494
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: Hurst and Malachi Fields both still on the board.

495
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 3: I think Hurst would be perfect here, just because I

496
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: know he's a little bit harder adjustment. If I was

497
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: only having won, I might take Fields over Hurst. But

498
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: if as a second one, if you could kind of

499
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: wait until he adapts to the NFL, Hurst would be

500
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: really attractive. Yes he would, just a note, yes he would.

501
00:23:55,359 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: Indeed, my friend Kyle lewis still on the board. Okay, wait,

502
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 2: sorry I was wrong. Nuss is still on the board.

503
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: So those two wide receivers, Kyle lewis Nuss. Let's see

504
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: who the top linebackers still a Genesis Smith, the safety

505
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: is still there. Zakey Wheatley out of Penn State, who

506
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: we talked about with jack Ham.

507
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: Still there and we pick again soon we do.

508
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: Michael Trigg, the crazy talented tight end out of Baylor

509
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: still there, So I mean there's options everywhere. Yeah, yeah,

510
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: I tell you what, this might be the spot where

511
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: I would take Kyle Lewis. I considered taking him nine

512
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 2: picks earlier. He if you really kind of view him

513
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: as the safety, big nickel type, And yeah, maybe he

514
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 2: learns from Jalen Ramsey and doesn't see the field a

515
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 2: ton his rookie year.

516
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think he would, but that's okay, But I

517
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 3: think he'd be as good as special teamer as or

518
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: is in his class. By the way. That's that's just

519
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 3: his makeup and speed and.

520
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: All that exactly right.

521
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: So Matt, I don't have a problem with that.

522
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: With the options here, I do not.

523
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 3: Think he's going to be an every down linebacker.

524
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: I don't think. I just don't think he as the

525
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: size now.

526
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: He should be a specialty player, yes now, and that

527
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 3: doesn't he doesn't play lost now.

528
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: He played in Jack Ham's era, he could play linebackerund.

529
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, he might have been bigger than Ham.

530
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: And on game day, Matt, with the way that this

531
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: line's out, I would be thinking of Kyle Lewis or

532
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 2: one of those wide receivers. I think those are the

533
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: best players available, and I think they still help.

534
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: I think i'd grab Lewis and then keep your eyes

535
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: open for one of the wide receivers.

536
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking, because I do like I do

537
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: like ze Key Wheatley, but I think Lewis has a

538
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: lot more up. Wheatly might be the safer pick for

539
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: a pure safety, but Lewis, if he hits, could hit big.

540
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he could, he could do.

541
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 2: We add a pitman here, former pitman Matt Williamson, Yeah,

542
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 2: I think so.

543
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Louis Louie Louie Louie.

544
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: Eighty fifth overall from next door. The Pittsburgh Steelers select

545
00:25:53,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: Kyle Lewis, linebacker safety hybrid out of the university located

546
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: in the Oakland District of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So Matt, that

547
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: leaves one more left for this exercise and bummer out

548
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 2: a feeling this was gonna happen. But boys, both those

549
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: wide receivers went off the board, not surprising. Ted Hurst

550
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: actually went right after we picked eighty sixth to the Chargers.

551
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: I think he's got a chance.

552
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: We really good same. He's could be one of those

553
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: small school guys that flies under the radar. That you know,

554
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: if he went to Notre Dame, yeah, would have been

555
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: the fiftieth pick.

556
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'd hear that.

557
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 2: And Malachi Fields goes ninety third to the Rams. So

558
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,239
Speaker 2: both of those guys end up in LA, just on

559
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: different rosters. Zakey Wheatley goes to the Dolphins at ninety four,

560
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 2: Genesis Smith goes to the Seahawks at ninety six. So

561
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: good thing we got a safety secondary type because the

562
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: other ones that we had talked a lot about we

563
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 2: were gone. So to this point we have a tackle

564
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: slash guard in Maxie and Hure. We have a wide

565
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: receiver and Elijah Surat defensive linemen, big citrus, dominique orange

566
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 2: and safety we're gonna call him and Kyle Lewis. I

567
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 2: love how that fits for in terms of the positions

568
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: of need there too. Yeah yeah, like the players and

569
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: where we got them, and I think they all fit

570
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: a need that the Steelers have at this point. So

571
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: with that, Matt with the last pick of the third round,

572
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: with the last pick of this exercise that we're doing,

573
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: this is another spot where I would really consider trading.

574
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, but if not, and for this exercise,

575
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: we're not going to NUSS is still on the board.

576
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 3: I said I would consider a quarterback here.

577
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: Michael Trigg is still on the board.

578
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: O line would certainly interest me too. I it's down

579
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 3: the road, but I don't know how much longer you'll

580
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 3: be able to keep McCormick. I mean, I'm just preparing

581
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: for that day.

582
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: So let's look at specific positions here. Okay, wide receivers.

583
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: Dejeon Stribbling out of Old miss is still there. Brennan

584
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: Thompson from Mississippi State, CJ. Daniels from the U, Reggie

585
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,719
Speaker 2: Virgil from Texas, this tech. Those are the names at

586
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: the top.

587
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 3: For me, especially a double down at a position.

588
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 2: YEA running back Matt Jonah Coleman from Washington. I thought

589
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: a little.

590
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: Early, but I thought I almost threw running back out there. Yeah,

591
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: that Jem might be the second best in this class.

592
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 2: I was gonna say I would not expect him to

593
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 2: be here. Both the Penn State guys are still there.

594
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: Emmett Johnson from Nebraska is still there. Interesting, he's interesting.

595
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: SETH McGowan out of Kentucky. So there are some good

596
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: running back options. Quarterbacks. You got Nuts, you got Aller,

597
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: you got everyone but club Nick and Simpson and Mendoza.

598
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: Those are the three that are so club. Nick was

599
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: actually club same, but he was actually taking his QB three.

600
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: I think would be my quarterback pick.

601
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: Agreed, So let's sort this by you wan to QB

602
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: and we're looking guard here, I would imagine right offensive line.

603
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: Because Max might just steak guard. I mean, okay, here's

604
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: the here's both.

605
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: Here's the big board, yes, big board of all offensive lineman.

606
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Farmer out of Kentucky still there, Markel Bell out

607
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: of the U, Demetrious crown Over out of A and

608
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: M Billy Shureth out of Georgia, Cage Casey out of

609
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: Boise State, Brian Parker the second at A Duke bo

610
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: Stevens out of Iowa.

611
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: I like Belle quite a bit in this neighborhood. He's

612
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: not the quickest athlete, but he's enormous. Yes, he could

613
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: be like your sixth tackle for now. Maybe he's your

614
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: left tackle next to Max a year from now. Who knows?

615
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: That would interest mens? Interest me? This lest interest me, Yeah.

616
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: If they really think there's something there. But at the

617
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: same time, maybe they would look at it and go, hey,

618
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: Nuss is still there. Aler's still there, Carson Beck's still there,

619
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: you know, like we can Yeah, yeah. I would be

620
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: very intrigued here to go offensive line or running back,

621
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: Matt because.

622
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 3: The running backs are better than I expect them to be.

623
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: I just don't want to take another quarterback for this exercise.

624
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: I'm leaning more and more to just don't take a quarterback.

625
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: And I think there's only two running backs off the

626
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: board to this point.

627
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: So I would be it's definitely a luxury item. But

628
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 3: when you have this many picks.

629
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: If you want me to go luxury item, I would

630
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: argue for Michael Trigg, the tight end out of Baylor.

631
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: But I got to go smart and kind of a luxury,

632
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: but fits a need as well. I would be looking

633
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: at running back and offensive line here, so I.

634
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: Would say Bell or Coleman. Bell would be the old lineman.

635
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: I would probably pick pure tackle. Yep, Coleman's just like

636
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 3: probably the third best back in the.

637
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: Would you go you'd go Markel Bell full pure tackle

638
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: over Jalen Farmer pure guard.

639
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 3: I think out of Kentucky. I think just because tackles

640
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: are worth more.

641
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: Sure, do we go offensive line or do we go

642
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: running back? That is the question.

643
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: O line's the wiser choice.

644
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: It is, and there's still a lot of those running

645
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: backs there. Man.

646
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I say, you probably get Coleman's.

647
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: Tempting, but he might be gone.

648
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: I doubt it would make it to the fourth, but EMITTT.

649
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: Johnson and those Penn State guys will probably still be there.

650
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: SETH McGowan out of Kentucky will probably still be there.

651
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: I don't take.

652
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: I don't hate double dipping on the offensive line here.

653
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: I don't either. It's probably the direction I would lean,

654
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: but I do worry. Worst case scenario, Caleb Johnson's a

655
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: bust like you. Just the new staff looks at him

656
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: and says, sorry, I just don't think you're good enough,

657
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 3: and I don't think.

658
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,239
Speaker 2: That'st you to run the outside zone scheme. Yeah, and

659
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: that's not our cup of tea.

660
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 3: You're not for us. And one of the other two

661
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 3: backs gets hurt because they do that. You know, like

662
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: back might be of a little bit bigger need than

663
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: you think. I'm just it's probably fourth, fifth round, but

664
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: we have this is not something we've discussed. Yeah, at

665
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: least we need to throw it out there. Yes, yeah, yes,

666
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: so I think I take the old lineman here, it's

667
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: probably your last chance to get a tackle.

668
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: That's where I'm thinking. I'm thinking, after this, there's not

669
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 2: going to be any offensive lineman that really tickle our fancy.

670
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: But it could still be a running back or two.

671
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: And it's done.

672
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: Like if you take the old linement, you're done with

673
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 3: the line.

674
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: Let's take MARKL. Bell lock it in.

675
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: He'd be like, you're taking two tackles. And what if

676
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: Roderck Jones good and Cook's good? And good problem to have?

677
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: Great that we have extra tackles, great problem to have.

678
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: Sign me up.

679
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 2: So in this version of what is this, I think

680
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: the third or fourth week that we've done this are

681
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: s n R Drive Weekly Mock Draft, our five picks.

682
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: We take first round Maxie and h R Tackle slash

683
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: guard out of their potential to play guard for a

684
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: year or so out of Arizona State. Then we go

685
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: wide receiver National champion, which fits. That's something Omar Kahn

686
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: has done every year. But Roderick Jones, Roman Wilson will hired.

687
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: Remember national champ, oh Jack Sawyer will hired and Jackson.

688
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: I think the Indiana guys are gonna go pretty high,

689
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 3: a little higher than people think they're just so well coached,

690
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 3: so well coast. Nflready is a term I don't really like,

691
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: but they're a little more NFL ready professional with you know,

692
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: I think those guys are going to play a lot

693
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 3: in his rookies. The Indiana crew.

694
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: Elijah Surratt second round, wide receiver out of the National

695
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: champion Indiana Hoosiers. Third round, we go big citrus Dominique

696
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: Orange out of Iowa State, the big nosy defensive linemen.

697
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: Then we stay local. Kyle Lewis third round. Some potential.

698
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: He's the jack of all trades, but master of none.

699
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: That doesn't translate to the NFL.

700
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: Should happen. That could certainly be a lifetime special teamer.

701
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: But he could also hit and be one of these

702
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: unique kind of big nickel slot capable type pieces in

703
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 2: the secondary that are the new wave in the National

704
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: Football League. He's our second third round pick. And then

705
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: Markel Bell from National Champion runner up Miami the tackle.

706
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: We double dip there on the offensive line, so two

707
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: offensive linemen, why receiver, a defensive lineman, and a safety.

708
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: Matt If that's if those are the first five picks,

709
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: I'm I'm signing up for that.

710
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be pretty excited about that.

711
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: We're still too early in this process.

712
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 3: Go into day three really not needing much running back.

713
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: But that's about a running back at some point. But

714
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: you could start trading picks or moving up. I mean again,

715
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: there's they have such a well have seven picks after this? Yeah,

716
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 3: I know where you do it after a while, fight

717
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 3: a camp arm or whatever. But you know, maybe maybe

718
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: he's more than that. So there another tight end.

719
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, another tight end, I think too. Yeah, running they

720
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: will draft the tight end, maybe linebacker, but yeah, yeah,

721
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 2: but you would really feel like you would be wide

722
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 2: open for business and any and all possibilities. One more

723
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,360

740
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,479
Speaker 2: It's been a good day. It's been a good week

741
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: of shows, and Matt, there's only one thing left to

742
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: do but close this week down with some participation on

743
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: the ex Twitter. All right, but before we do that,

744
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 2: we do have some uh some some Steelers news, breaking

745
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: Steelers news that we do need to discuss today. And

746
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: that is a name that we've mentioned, Ryan McCollum back

747
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: in the fold for the Black and Gold.

748
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. I forget exactly how it went. They did not

749
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 3: offer him a tender as a restricted, but then they

750
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: signed him to a one year deal just now, which

751
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 3: means he'll be in camp. I assume there won't be it.

752
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: I haven't seen the exact contract details, but I assume

753
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: it's not a huge, you know, amount of money or

754
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 3: a lot of guaranteed money, because you know, if he

755
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 3: doesn't make the team, then you know he doesn't make

756
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: the team. So I don't think he's guaranteed a spot,

757
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: but he's a quality backup center and you probably play

758
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 3: him a ton in the preseason with Howard and go

759
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 3: from there. And I know he has played guard, but

760
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 3: I would rather that guy be three players, three position strong,

761
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 3: as opposed to just juste.

762
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: You know, but if you get to a point where

763
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: you don't have that guy that's three positions strong, Collum

764
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: is a certainly a capable backup center. According to our

765
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 2: buddy Alan Saunders, the restricted if they would have retained

766
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: his rights as a restricted free agent, it would have

767
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: been three and a half million bucks last year McCollum.

768
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 2: Last year McCollum made a little over a million, so

769
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 2: allan kind of prognosticating that it's probably somewhere in between those.

770
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably one year two million or something like that,

771
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: which makes that out a lot of guarantee or anything

772
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 3: like that. So an underrated job of the GM and

773
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 3: roster builder is you really need to have not not

774
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 3: that they have to be great, but you have to

775
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: be able to field preseason offensive lines from first quarter,

776
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 3: second or third quarter, fourth quarter that are at least

777
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: good enough that you can evaluate the other players.

778
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: That's that's a sneaky part of this process that if

779
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: you put Will Howard out there behind it a bunch

780
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: of traffic cones, Right, how are you really going to

781
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: evaluate if he can play or not?

782
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: Or hey, is Caleb Johnson good enough or not? But

783
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 3: you don't block for him at all in the games?

784
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 2: You know, Like, come on, it's the same conversation that

785
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 2: we had with Malik Willis and Miami kind of stripping

786
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: off all the assets around him, right right, but just

787
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: at a second string level.

788
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like if you're a or quarter in

789
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: the preseason and you're a line which is a shortage position,

790
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 3: can't block a soul, well, I can't evaluate anybody else.

791
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: Quarterback got sacked for a receiver he can open.

792
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: You know, that's a great point. It's something we don't

793
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: think about often, but yeah, certainly.

794
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: For figuring out who your best guys are big.

795
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: Part of the process. All right, let's get to some

796
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 2: tweets before we get out of here. We got about

797
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: six minutes or so. Let's buzz through as many of

798
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: these as we can t MAAC tweets and says, if

799
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: you guys were to make an all time franchise team

800
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: for every team in the league, would the Steelers be

801
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: the best? I think so by far, thanks Jents. I

802
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 2: don't know about by far far really really really sure

803
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 2: would be very good. Niners would be very good, Patriots

804
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 2: would be very good. Packers would be very good.

805
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the thing about the stage they might be

806
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: at the top. There aren't many weak spots, that's to

807
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 3: the Steelers exactly right, Like offensive tackles not amazing, And

808
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 3: by that I mean there's just not Hall of Famers,

809
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I mean, Max Start, but you.

810
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: Know it's not Joe Thomas right and Trent Williams and you.

811
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 3: Know, I mean if your guard center combination is Fanica

812
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 3: and the Castro, and then you've got to pick between

813
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 3: Dirt and Webby good Lord, tackles not as strong.

814
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 2: You need to move one of Dirt Webb conversation.

815
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, but yeah, I mean and tight end Heath

816
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: Miller's pretty darn good. I mean, but if those are

817
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 3: your weaknesses, that's what I'm saying, Like, that's your weaknesses,

818
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 3: and you've.

819
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: Got a Hall of Famer at every other position.

820
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean Woodson and Blunt, or maybe two

821
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 3: of the top three corners ever lived, or two of

822
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 3: the deathly the top five. You know. So, and you

823
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: can say that a lot of spots.

824
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: Yes, you can.

825
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think I think the answers yes.

826
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 2: Off the top of my head, I think the answer

827
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: is yes, the Cowboys would be really good. The Niners

828
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: would be really good.

829
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:12,959
Speaker 3: Yeah.

830
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 2: I think the Steelers might have the best roster. Yeah,

831
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 2: on paper. Yeah, in terms of the defense, would have

832
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer at every position.

833
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: I mean, especially if you're filling out like a fifty three,

834
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 3: if like Levon Kirkland's your third string linebacker, or you

835
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 3: know things.

836
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 2: Like that lev Bell is your third string running back.

837
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, right right, or you know, Bradshaw's your backup.

838
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: You know things like that, Matt.

839
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 2: Matt, talk to me about this real quick. Antonio Brown,

840
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: Lynn Swan, John Stalworth, Hines, Ward, Plexico Burs.

841
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 3: I think Wards you're four, Like, come on, it's pretty strong.

842
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: Prances your five?

843
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like, come on, pretty good.

844
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

845
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. Yes, Stellers, I would shocked if I could

846
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 3: come up with a team bet.

847
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: Maybe that's something we could say for the offseason in

848
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: June if we need to kill an hour of like

849
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: what does the Cowboys team look like? What does the

850
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: Niners and the Packers teams look like? And they'd be

851
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: really good, it'd be really awesome, without a doubt, without

852
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 2: about Let's see here, here's a smooth Dave. This is

853
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: a good one. What's the furthest you would trade up

854
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 2: for these players? Sunny Styles, Caleb Downs, Carnel Tait.

855
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would trade up for any

856
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 3: nothing realistic. I mean, like, yeah, i'd go to like fifteen.

857
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 2: I was gonna say I would go to the fifteen

858
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 2: to seventeen range, probably for Styles and.

859
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 3: Probably any of that.

860
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 2: Probably for any of them.

861
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, great, And I just don't think that's realistic. I'm

862
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 3: not going to eight or nine and have to give

863
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: up like next year's first And that's why I think

864
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: we'd have to go. I mean, I'm giving up no

865
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: picks next year to go up in any trades.

866
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I am absolutely not doing that, Absolutely not doing that.

867
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: Let's see here, tweets us and says Matt has talked

868
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 2: about how he's liking the idea of offensive line in

869
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 2: round one and then receiver after that. I think we're

870
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: both warming up to that idea. Who are some of

871
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: your favorite wide receivers after round one?

872
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 3: So we've kind.

873
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 2: Of played this out with some of our exercises. But

874
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 2: I think Tate is a round one guy, Lemon, round

875
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: one guy, Tyson round one.

876
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,439
Speaker 3: Guy most likely. But I don't think any of those

877
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 3: are there in the second.

878
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: For the steal Boston conception.

879
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 3: I would think they're all gone for sure.

880
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 2: Did you put Omar Cooper Junior as the.

881
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 3: Sixth you'd be the next one? Yeah?

882
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 2: By fifty three?

883
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's gone by then.

884
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 2: So at that point, Chris Brazil, Malachi Fields, Ted.

885
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 3: Hurst surat that we took that.

886
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: We just took Jeremy Bernard out of Alabama.

887
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 3: Both the small dudes Lance with North Coast North Dakota

888
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 3: State and the Georgia State dude Hurst Hurst, Yep, absolutely,

889
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 3: both the little dudes Georgia and Oklahoma. I think they're

890
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 3: really interesting. Did you mention Bernard from Alabama?

891
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: I think yes, yes, Jeremy Bernard. Yep.

892
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 3: There's a lot of names, and some of them will

893
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 3: drift into the third round. I don't know at the

894
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 3: end of the third round, but they'll drift into the

895
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: third round for sure. Day two receivers in this class

896
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 3: are really really good. The other one that's a crazy

897
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 3: one is the Louisville kid. He's two and twenty five

898
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: pounds and I.

899
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 2: Guess the spell best spell.

900
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got hurt late in the year. He is

901
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 3: unbelievable with the ball in his hands. People think he

902
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 3: was going to run like a four to three if

903
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: you if you look at his charting data, you know

904
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 3: his mal per hour stuff. It was one of the

905
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 3: fastest in the country. And he's like two twenty five

906
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 3: with like a he's like a bigger debo. He has

907
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 3: some real ups and downs, but his ups are He's

908
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 3: another one that you put his highlight tape out there.

909
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 3: It's like he's the best player in the league. He's

910
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 3: the best best receiver in the draft. Now he's injured

911
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 3: as we speak, but he's really interesting.

912
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 2: Let's see, we got time for one or two more here.

913
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: Rj tweets about the rule change conversation that we had yesterday,

914
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: said that he enjoyed that, but he would add. The

915
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 2: rule change that he would add is stop giving the

916
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 2: ball to the defense when the offense fumbles it through

917
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: the end zone.

918
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 3: I've said that for thirty Yearsay this is a.

919
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 2: Big point of contention in these conversations.

920
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a popular.

921
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: One, But I think a lot of people would tell you, like, hey,

922
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 2: we legislate everything in the end of this, like this

923
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 2: would this would always be Motes's argument when this, when

924
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: this would come up. Everything in the NFL is legislated

925
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 2: to make life or easier on the offense. Can you

926
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 2: give the defense this one thing? Yeah, Like creating a

927
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: turnover at the goal line is not equal to creating

928
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: a turn turnover on the rest of the field. Like

929
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 2: it's a heightened situation. The offense should know that they

930
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 2: have to have more ball security and be on their

931
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 2: p's and q's in that situation. Which I get that

932
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: side of it, But yeah, there's also the rule that

933
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 2: a fumble can advanced the ball forward, So why don't

934
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 2: we keep that same logic in the end zone so

935
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 2: I can see both sides of.

936
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 3: That are my big take on I hate the rule

937
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 3: as it is because I don't like that a team

938
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 3: can get possession without ever possessing the ball, like the

939
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 3: defense never possessed the football. I just fumbled it out.

940
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: It's reaching across a pylon or whatever. But I've also

941
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 3: never heard an answer that I like for to solve it.

942
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 3: I've never been like, so we do this instead, I'm like, give.

943
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: It to him at the toy, answer to him at

944
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: the two or.

945
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of people throw things out, but

946
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 3: none of them have been like, yep, that's the answer.

947
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 2: I sit on the fence.

948
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 3: One smart needs to come up with an answer.

949
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 2: I sit on the fence on that one big time too.

950
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: So I can see both sides of the argument. Last one,

951
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 2: Sudesh says football is not just my favorite sport, it's church.

952
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 2: That being said, I love March badness. How about you, guys,

953
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 2: with your time constraints considered.

954
00:45:58,640 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 3: Are you a big fan?

955
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Matt, you and I are. I think

956
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 2: it's kind of funny actually, in the ways that you

957
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 2: and I are similar were very similar, but in the

958
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 2: ways that were different were very different. I've made this

959
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 2: joke before. If it's not the NFL or Mario Lemieux,

960
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 2: you don't really care in the sports world.

961
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 3: I used to when I was younger. It just had

962
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 3: to keep whittling it down and right.

963
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: I love the sports calendar as much as football is

964
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 2: my end all be all. I love March Badness, I

965
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 2: love the l I love college sports. I love European soccer,

966
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 2: the Premier League and the Champions League and the World Cup.

967
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 2: I love the Olympics. I love the difference. I'll be

968
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: tuned into the Masters here in a couple of weeks.

969
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: I do love the different things on the sports calendar.

970
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't even fill out a bracket. If I

971
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 3: don't watch any of it, so be it.

972
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: You know this Baseball is my least favorite sport of

973
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 2: all major sports. But when the World Baseball Classics on,

974
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: I'm locked in. Yea, when it's the World Series, I'm

975
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: locked in.

976
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 3: I respect the tournament to know end, though. I mean

977
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 3: there's a difference in terms of do I actually on

978
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 3: or go out of my way to watch it, or

979
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 3: care who wins. I mean, it's an unbelievable event and

980
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 3: all that part I respect to no end. This year,

981
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 3: I actually care about two teams Ohio. I have a

982
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 3: friend of the family who's own Miami, Ohio, and my

983
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 3: son goes to Kentucky. So but we write them a

984
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 3: big check. I want them to win, you know. But

985
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 3: all the other games, I really don't. I heard fashion,

986
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 3: but overall, I don't care who wins and any of it.

987
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 3: And like my buddies, I got a lot of buddies

988
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 3: that have taken Thursday and Friday off for decades and

989
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 3: they go watch it all and that's cool, you know.

990
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 3: And I would sit there and have a cold one

991
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 3: with them, no doubt. And I might even deny after

992
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 3: britt Floyd or whatever or tomorrow or whatever. But I

993
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 3: don't care who wins, and I wouldn't change my schedule

994
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 3: for it's just where I am now.

995
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense, and I think that's

996
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 2: how a lot of people are. But I also don't

997
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 2: begrudge the people that use Thursdays a personal day, take

998
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: some pto and belly up to their favorite establishment and

999
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 2: watch hoops all day. It is. It's a fantastic tradition

1000
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: here in this country.

1001
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I know many men that have gotten snipped right.

1002
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 2: Before that that's their busiest thing to do.

1003
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 3: That's their busiest time, right, Like I gotta stay on

1004
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 3: the couch on you're a.

1005
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 2: Right sorry man, can't do anything right all.

1006
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 3: Do Wednesday says Thursday, I can't do anything.
