WEBVTT - Hr2: Weekly Mock Draft

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Your tunes about drive on your twenty four to seven

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Good evening, Stealer Nation, How we do it? That's good

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 2>us too, our number two. What a fun Friday we're

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 2>having here.

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a little different feel here in the studio, right.

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 2>It's been. It was a good Friday afternoon. Now into

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 2>the evening. We got to see Britt Floyd play a

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 2>trio of songs here in our iHeart studios.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess. Bert Kreischer was here this morning.

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Kreischer was here this morning. We had Jack Ham on

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the show in the first hours. Listen. All Fridays are

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>a good thing, but all fridays are not created equal.

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I think this was the first.

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Day of spring too or something today. I think yesterday

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 3>right in that time.

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>It's like some decent weather on the horizon for this

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>thing too. So I will certainly take it and Matt

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the people ask for it, and so we give it

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 2>to him. It is mock Draft Day. We're going to

0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>continue to do this. We'll do this once a week

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>now through through the end of April. Uh, maybe even

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>ramp it up a little bit more than that when

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 2>we get you know, a week or so away from

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>from the draft, and we're really staring down the barrel

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 2>of the twenty twenty six NFL Draft here of course,

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>on the north shore Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So before we get started,

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 2>we'll do the same thing I think still to this point,

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 2>just three rounds, right.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 3>That's why if you want it comes five picks.

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I think that's pretty significant.

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because the way that the Minsteelers havening those extra

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 3>picks makes you know, two days worth pretty nice.

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely five, So we'll go through five picks in the

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>top ninety nine for the Steelers here.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 3>We've done one in a while, So maybe just put

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>like no parameter.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I was just gonna ask you you wanted to do

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 2>any parameters?

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Okay, I see how it goes.

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right. Let's see how it goes.

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 3>So, of course, the Steelers the two things when I

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 3>when I post them online, you know here and there,

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>the two things I get criticize for are you trade

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 3>down a lot and you take max I Incher All

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 3>the time, I'm like, yeah, I do. I can't lie.

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, Matt, we have a type, okay, yeah, we

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>we we certainly have a type. But I'll tell you

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>as I fire up this edition of the Mock Draft Simulator,

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>some people will be very well, the people who want

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>different outcomes in different scenarios, And I understand it. That's

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>a big that's a big part of this process.

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're gonna be happy because the last two weeks

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 2>that you and I have done this, both times we

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 2>have taken Venga Ione true Joanna. That's actually how what

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I need to do is get the clip, the little

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>drop of him pronouncing his name Venga Joanna. That's how

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>he said it at the combine. He goes in this

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 2>one fifteenth to the Bucks, so he will not be

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>an option for us at twenty one. So we will

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>have a dict.

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Next stuff happens, same.

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Here, same here, a little different. At the top of

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>this one, Fernanda Mendozo of course goes first, but Jeremiah

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Love second to the Jets. I can't see that happen

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>because of Breece Hall.

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 3>But he's not gonna make it that twenty one.

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 2>He's not gonna make it twenty one anyways. Sonny Style three,

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Reuben Bain Junior four, r Vel Reese not until five

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.359
<v Speaker 2>to the Giants. I think John Harbaugh would be doing

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 2>jumping out if he could do that. The Browns do

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>go offensive line Francis Mauigoa at pick six. David Bailey

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>to the Commanders at pick seven, Mansord Delaane stays in Louisiana.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 2>The LSU guy goes to the Saints pick nine, The

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs select Caleb Downs safety from Ohio State pick ten. See.

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't think this would happen either, but I doubt

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>he's making it to twenty one, so it probably doesn't matter.

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>But the Bengals take Carnell Tait, wide receiver out of

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Ohio Street.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't think they would take him, and I

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 3>don't think he'd make it a twenty one, so well.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Pick eleven Monroe Freeling the tackle out of Georgia, who

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 2>continues to rapidly rise up draft boards. The Cowboys at

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>pick twelve take Dylan Thinnemon, So there goes one of

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>my draft crushes. So Venga and Fennemon both off the board.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Tyson thirteen to the Rams. My goodness, that would

0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>be the type of greed they speak about in the Bible.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>The Ravens do what they need to do address the

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 2>offensive line. They take Spencer Fanu at fourteen and like.

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 3>A guard for him.

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, Bucks, take Venga at fifteen. If you

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>were Baltimore and those two guys were both there at fourteen,

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 2>could could you reasonably I don't want to say justify,

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 2>but would you be shocked if they went with Fannu

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 2>instead of Wenger? Or is that that fair?

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 3>If you just looked at Fawnu as only a guard,

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 3>I could sort of understand it. He moves better, he's

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 3>not as much of a masher. But from what I understand, though,

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this is a whole different conversation. The arm

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 3>length stuff is getting crazy in this whole process the

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 3>last couple of years, because I guess Fawnu's arms were

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 3>like five eighths of an inch longer it is pro

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 3>day than they were the combine like this has happened

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 3>for a couple of years now, or whoever is measuring

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 3>the combine doesn't know what they're doing, or somewhere there's

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 3>a problem here.

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you gotta get Matt Williamson in there. Let him

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 2>show you how he's done. So Spawnu at fourteen, Venga

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>at fifteen. Mackay Lemon goes to the Jets at sixteen,

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>a Key Messador to the Lions at seventeen, Jermad McCoy

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>to the Vikes at eighteen, Keldrick falk Ed rusher out

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 2>of Auburn nineteen to the Carolina Panthers, and then C. J.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Allen linebacker out of Georgia goes twentieth to the Cowboys.

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 2>So Steelers on the clock at twenty one, Matt, here

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>is what we are looking at. Yes, your boy max

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Ian h R. Is still there, sure, and I have

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>in terms of what we've done for mock drafts yet,

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>we have not taken him yet on this show. Kenyon Sadik,

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Emmanuel McNeil, Warren, Avion Terrell, Omar Cooper, Junior, Blake Miller,

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Caden Procter still there, Kaden McDonald's still there, Denzel Boston

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 2>still there, Caleb Banks still there. This would be a

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>very interesting scenario because I like a lot of these

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>names too, but twenty one might be a little too rich. Yeah,

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>this would be a I'm looking at the potential trade

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 2>down scenarios here.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm all yours on that.

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 2>So it looks like the Browns are offering us the

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourth pick that they have from Jacksonville and their seventieth.

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh, let me stop you, because Dale and I.

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>No divisional trades. Yeah, you're right if.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 3>You're deals with the Browns, Bengals, and raven.

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Because that's fair and it's not gonna happen.

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 3>We don't do business with them.

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna happen. Let's see, the Bears are willing

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 2>to give pick twenty five and pick sixty for this

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>pick twenty one. I would really consider it.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was strongly considered. They only be.

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.239
<v Speaker 2>Moving down four spots. The Jets willing to give thirty

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 2>three and the Cowboys forty fourth pick, so you'd get

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the first pick of the second round and an extra

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 2>second rounder, so you would have three second rounds and

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 2>three third rounds.

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 3>We salk business with the Bears.

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Wait, that would be interesting, Yeah, that would be nice.

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.039
<v Speaker 2>The Bears are the ones other than the Browns offering

0:06:59.920 --> 0:07:04.159
<v Speaker 2>you the highest first round pick, Jets, Cardinals, Lions, Rams

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 2>offering second round or two's a pair of second round

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>so if you want to stay in the first round

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 2>in chicago's the only realistic option here because we're not

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 2>doing business with Cleveland exactly.

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 3>So let's counter their offer with throwing a fourth next year,

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 3>and you got a deal. Okay, I want something next year.

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 2>So we're asking for pick twenty one, are we We're

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>asking for twenty five sixty, yeah, and a fourth from

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>next year.

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 3>You're saying, yeah, I think that's enough to get it done.

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Says this trade will not be accepted.

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Really, Well, let's throw in a late round pick this

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 3>year to get to get a couple off our Okay,

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 3>I like trying to make that a little more feasible.

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 3>How about one, two, three, We're not going to make

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 3>that many picks anyways, we throw in a six from

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:53.239
<v Speaker 3>this year or something like that, or two later picks. Binega,

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 3>what however, you gotta do it. Let's see.

0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmmmm hmmm. What if we do interesting, they're still not,

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Like even if I add fifth or six round picks,

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>they're still not. They don't want to They don't want

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 2>to part with that fourth round er from next year.

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Well that's fine, I mean I would do the deal

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 3>without it. I was just trying to milk more out

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 3>of them.

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I it's not bad. They they countered with. How

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 2>about just this pick twenty five and pick sixty for

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 2>pick twenty one, and pick eighty five.

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 3>Well didn't didn't they offer those two for.

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Just wait, no, one second. Then we'd be yeah, we'd

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>be going back in both of those.

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.239
<v Speaker 3>That's not that's not what we Yeah.

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, sorry, we'd be moving up from eighty

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 2>five to sixty. So we'd move back from twenty one

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 2>to twenty five, but we'd be moving up from eighty

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>five to sixty.

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Wasn't the original deal?

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I think that was similar to the original deal.

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 3>I thought the original deal was their first and sixty.

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 2>They're yes, their first and sixty for pick twenty one

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 2>and and what was it?

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.719
<v Speaker 3>It realize me to put something else in besides the

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty one?

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it was? Was it ninety nine? Maybe that's okay, sorry,

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>that's what it was. Their original offer was picked twenty

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>five and pick sixty for pick twenty one and pick

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine. Okay, so you would move back four spots

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.079
<v Speaker 2>in the first round, but you would trade your last

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>third rounder for Buffalo's second for the DJ more pick.

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm in. I think I'm in for that too, Yeah,

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm in.

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 2>You pick up an extra, you move from the third,

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 2>You basically move back for spots to swap your last

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 2>third round pick for a late second.

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Round or late second move up more than thirty picks

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 3>on Day two.

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Should we do it?

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's do it, all right? Oh, come on, it's

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna make me pay for the pro football focused thing

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 2>to do it here. Yeah, you gotta be you gotta

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>be kidding me here. Well, all right, if that's the case, Matt.

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Then we won't do trade.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Then we won't do trade.

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 3>That's fine.

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 2>And if that's the case, I am looking at Maxie

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>and it I'm looking at Kaden Proctor.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 3>I say, I like both. Those would be my two selections.

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 2>This would be my yep, my guys, I clearly you

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 2>favor Max out.

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, group not by leaps and bounds. They're the exact

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 3>same tier for me. I'd be very happy with either

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:18.119
<v Speaker 3>of twenty one. I think both would start their careers

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 3>at guard and probably go to left tackle, but maybe not.

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Cooker Jones might be my long term answer, and they

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 3>might just stay at left guard forever, and I'd be

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 3>very comfortable with that too.

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Hmmm. I like I like mad Max here. I know

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:35.959
<v Speaker 2>that I know that you've done that in a lot

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>of your separate ones and some of the stuff you

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 2>do on Twitter, but we have it yet on the show. Cool,

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 2>So I think I'd take it. I would love it

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 2>if we got them at pick twenty five and swapped

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>a third rounder for a second rounder, which I think

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 2>would be a realistic outcome here.

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.679
<v Speaker 3>But that was kind of my thighs. I figured one

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 3>of the two will probably get to twenty five. Yes,

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, there's no guarantee, but that was the risk

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I was willing to take.

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 2>But like the Chargers behind, the Steelers aren't taking a tackle.

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 3>No, maybe they always could.

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Browns not if they already had not if they already

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 2>took freeling, and then we'd be at pick twenty.

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Five and I don't think the Bears were moving up

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 3>for a tackle. Yeah, I'd like our chances of getting

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 3>one of the two.

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 2>I wish we could have executed that trade. I'll have it,

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 2>you know what too. I do have a I do

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>have a Pro Football Focus account, but I'm not going

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 2>to take the time to sign out all that stuff

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 2>right now. We're just gonna draft max E Nhure, tackle

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:29.839
<v Speaker 2>slash guard out of Arizona State University with our first

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>round pick, all right back on the board here at

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.319
<v Speaker 2>fifty three, and oh, Matt, this if this actually played out,

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I think this would be an easy one. But you know,

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 2>real quick, let's see here Sidiq went next. A Manuel

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>McNeil Warren to the Eagles. I think that would make

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of sense for them, Omar Cooper Junior to

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the Browns, Caden McDonald to the Bears. So yeah, we

0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 2>would have had our choice of both of those guys.

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 3>Still side noted, I think we want Sidiq to be

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 3>on the board at twenty one. Like you could you

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 3>look at two ways, like if he falls, I'm glad

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 3>you're bringing this up up. Yeah, Like if he falls,

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 3>you're like, why was it gonna take him anyway? So

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 3>somebody else moves one spot closer. But I could see

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 3>him being one of the few dudes that late in

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 3>the draft that a playoff team might trade.

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 2>A playoff team calls and says, we'll give you pick

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine right and an extra thing or a third

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 2>rounder next year, you know which. You would love to

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>start building up some capital for next.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 3>Year, because I don't think picking a twenty one is

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 3>all that much different than twenty seven or twenty eight

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 3>in this draft.

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, I concur Caden Procter goes off the board

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>thirtieth to the Dolphins. That's the Jaylen Wattle pick from

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 2>the from the Broncos. Caleb Banks goes off the board

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>of the Patriots. Denzel Boston to the Seahawks. A little

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 2>bit of a run on these interior defensive linemen. Peter

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Woods goes off the board, Lee Hunter off the board.

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Did any of them go in the first round?

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Just Banks at pick thirty one? Gotcha, Zion Young, Emanuel

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.959
<v Speaker 2>Pregnant oh Man. I would really like this for the

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Raiders if they were able to get him in the

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>second round. Yeah, I mean you put you plug him

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>next to Linderbush there and Jackson powers Johnson, and you

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 2>might have the future of your interior offensive line for

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 2>a long time. Christian Miller goes off the board. Brandon

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Sissi to the Browns at thirty nine, Casey Concepcion to

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs at forty, Jacob Rodriguez at forty two to

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 2>the Saints. Caleb Lomu goes to the Dolphins at forty three.

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I tell you what for Miami, if you were able

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 2>to get you get Procter a Lomu out of this

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 2>class that's a nice start to here. That's a nice

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>start to your rebuild. Chase Bistanis goes to the Colts

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 2>at forty seven. Jake Galladay, another one of those off

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 2>ball linebackers, goes to the Packers at pick fifty two.

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Matt This would be albeit unrealistic. Ty Simpson is still

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 2>on the board and has not yet been drafted, and

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's unrealistic. But if you could get

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 2>him at pick fifty three, I think that's a very

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about easy decision, but a very enticing decision.

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 3>It's certainly something you gotta think about.

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 2>But I just don't think that's realistic for him to last.

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 3>There's once a while we do these be like I

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 3>just think that's a little too unrealistic. Who are the receivers.

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Though, receivers? There's some ones to like. Chris Brazil is

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:12.359
<v Speaker 2>still available, Skyler Bell still available, Bryce Lance still available.

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 2>So not the the run on receivers has happened.

0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 3>They they're not picked through.

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.360
<v Speaker 2>But so that's kind of where I was looking to,

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 2>is that at this point, if you want to add

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 2>a receiver with one of your top two picks, and

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 2>you really want to get one of those top seven

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 2>eight nine guys.

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 3>Yance. I know we didn't we didn't make the trade,

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 3>but it's I think we got to take one of

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 3>the whiteouts.

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I do too. Chris Brasel, Skyler Bell, Elijah Surrat, Zach

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Zachariah Branch.

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 3>I think i'd go to Serrat. Yeah, yeah, I like.

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 2>That because that's a little again. I like different, that's

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>different than what we've done, and amongst this group, I

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>think I might lean towards Brasl But here's my choice.

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Serrat would be it would be my very different.

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Is a real technician, tough guy, multiple spots. You can

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 3>line them up in Brazzle. If you watch just his

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 3>highlight tape, you'd be like, is he not a first

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 3>maybe the first year off the board? Right?

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 2>You want to go Elijah Surratt, Dude, I would do

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 2>it differently here. Let's do it so we get offensive

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 2>lineman and wide receiver with our first two picks. That

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 2>would be a very welcome scenario. Ty Simpson of course,

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>goes off the board pretty quickly. Let's see who went

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 2>right after the Steelers. Chris Brazzle goes two picks later

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to the Chargers. Aj Houseley, the safety from Lsu that

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm warming up to goes fifty six to the Jags.

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Ty Simpson finally drafted by the Cardinals, and that'd be

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 2>a nice that'd be nice for the Cardinals. Eli Stowers,

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the tight end out of Vanderbilt that I really like,

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 2>goes to the Patriots. Josiah Trotter, Jeremiah Trotter's son, sixty

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 2>seven to the eight is there early in round three

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 2>trade Ann Stukes goes off the board at seventy one

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>to the Commanders, Zachariah Branch seventy four to the Chiefs,

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and Kamari Ramsey right before the Steelers. He would have

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 2>been an interesting one. He goes seventy fifth to the Dolphins.

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 2>So let's do one more here before we take a break.

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Pick number seventy six. This is our third selection for

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers. Let's see Grayson Houghton, defensive linean out of Oklahoma,

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>is still there. Oh, Big Citrus is still there. Matt

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 2>max Clair tight end out of Ohio State, Kyle Lewis

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 2>is still there, Kyle Louis out of pre Be. I'd

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 2>be tempted. Anthony Hill, junior linebacker out of Texas. Really

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 2>probably really like that guy. Nuts is still there, Aller

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 2>is still there. Ted Hurst is still there, although we

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:46.720
<v Speaker 2>just took a wide receiver, so I think it's too

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 2>early to go back. Let's look at just the safeties.

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Genesis Smith is the key, Wheatley, Bud Clark, Kyle Lewis,

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 2>if you're counting him in that in that spot, those

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 2>are the safeties that are still available.

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Anybody tickling you.

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Big Big Citrus certainly.

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:06.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I would be.

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 2>I just wonder if Hill certainly. Yeah.

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Hill's not the most physical guy, but boy he flies

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 3>around the field.

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 2>If I would sit down with Patrick Graham, yeah, in

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 2>a off the record but truth serum type conversation, and

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 2>he told me, I think Kyle Lewis can be one

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.120
<v Speaker 2>of those great like yes, it's it could translate, translate,

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>it could work in our defense. Yeah, that might be

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the guy here. But I think I'm narrowing it down

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 2>to Big Citrus and Anthony Hill Junior.

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I just don't know if the Steelers are looking for

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 3>the traditional noses anymore. I mean, who's the last one

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 3>they've had that you would say is like a Hampton

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 3>like nose. It's been a long time, and Orange is

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 3>in that mold you know. I mean he's not a

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.119
<v Speaker 3>massive pass rusher, but I think he's a good player,

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 3>and he certainly would have a role, and you can

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 3>move a lot of dudes around. I don't have a

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 3>strong feeling on either one of those. I mean, both

0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 3>of them make a lot of sense to me. Hill's

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 3>pretty good for this late in the draft too.

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.720
<v Speaker 2>He can be a top forty guy a lot of years,

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 2>and you're getting him at seventy six here. H and

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.959
<v Speaker 2>then and then Kyle Lewis, like, listen, right, you can

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 2>accuse me of being a pit hater, but I am

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 2>at least honest. Those would be the three that I

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.640
<v Speaker 2>would be. If it's my if it's if it's west

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Uler's war room, and it's you know, we've got ten

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 2>minutes to make this decision on. It would be Big Citrus.

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.080
<v Speaker 2>It would be Kyle Lewis, It would be Anthony Hill Junior.

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I can understand any of the above.

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Hmmm. I would love it if there was just a true,

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 2>pure safety here that was jumping off the screen.

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I might go Big Citrus. That's fine,

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 3>You're never gonna.

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I just want to keep I want to keep adding

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:42.880
<v Speaker 2>to the trench.

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 3>I want to keep adding the trenches too.

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it. Dominique Orange aka Big Citrus is our

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.199
<v Speaker 2>seventy sixth overall first third round pick. Okay, before we

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:54.960
<v Speaker 2>go to break, here's who because because the good part

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 2>about this is you're back on the clock nine picks later.

0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah, you may get one of the other.

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 2>For example, Anthony Hill went off the board to the jag,

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.479
<v Speaker 2>but Kyle lewis still there at pick eighty five. Garrett

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Nusmeyer still there at pick eighty five. Oh man, some

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.399
<v Speaker 2>interesting options for the Steelers there at pick eighty Five's

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.640
<v Speaker 2>a Key Wheatley, the safety out of Penn State. Who

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>we talked to Jack Ham about. Malachi Field's still there, Matt,

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see him buried on the wide receiver list here.

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.880
<v Speaker 2>So let's take a break here, you know this, Let's

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.720
<v Speaker 2>leave you hanging a little bit. Where will we go

0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 2>with our next mock draft selection? Here it'll be our

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 2>fourth overall pick, the second of the trio of third rounders.

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 2>We will pick up where we left off on the

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 2>other side. West Shouler, Matt Williamson. It is the Drive

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Back on the Drive here, continuing the Weekly Mock Draft Hour,

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Part two. Matt, you know, all right, the Best Things

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.920
<v Speaker 2>in the World, Part one, Part two. Much like The Godfather,

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>we ignore that the third part exists and we just

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.800
<v Speaker 2>focus on the first two. This is part two of

0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>our three round weekly Steelers Mock draf. Eventually, at some

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 2>point we'll beef this thing up and we'll.

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:03.159
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yeah, yeah, we'll go.

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sure, we'll run the marathon. Right, a lot of picks,

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 2>but it's gonna be a lot of picks and that

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 2>would take a full hour, I think maybe even more.

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.720
<v Speaker 2>But for this exercise, we're doing these Steelers first three rounds,

0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 2>which includes of course five picks. We have three picks

0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 2>in the books for those who missed it. In our

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 2>previous segment. At the start of our number two pick

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, we took max E. Nhure tackle guard offensive

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:32.119
<v Speaker 2>linemen out of Arizona State. We would have accepted a

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.679
<v Speaker 2>trade with the Bears to move down four spots and

0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.639
<v Speaker 2>as yeah and flip pick yeah, and I think we

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.399
<v Speaker 2>still would have gotten them, and we would have moved

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 2>one of our third round picks to a second round pick,

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 2>so would have still gotten your guy at twenty five.

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Then you get two second rounders and two third rounders

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 2>instead of one second rounder in the trio of third rounders.

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 2>But regardless, and.

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:54.959
<v Speaker 3>Side note, if we would have pulled that off, I mean,

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:56.640
<v Speaker 3>in the real world, it's harder to do on these,

0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 3>but like two second rounders, I'd have been to shop

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 3>one one for next year next year's first yeah, right, right, right.

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And so we took Nhure first round, Elijah Surrat

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver out of Indiana, second round, and big Citrus

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Dominique Orange, the defensive lineman out of Iowa State, with

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 2>our first of three third round picks seventy sixth overall.

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 3>So I think that would do it for D lineman.

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 3>I've heard a recent signing and a third round pick.

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I think you'd be done on the D line.

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 2>So where we before I get to the list of

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 2>names still available? Where are we looking for?

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Here?

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Safety still on the board.

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Safety still on the board. Quarterback still on the board. Yeah,

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 3>I'd lean more and more to not taking one at

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 3>all unless you take a real late flyer. But I

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 3>could definitely be convinced, you know me, I get greedy

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 3>a second old lineman.

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Second ol linman, second wide receiver.

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 3>Wide receiver. I mean, I think that's not crazy. With

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.360
<v Speaker 3>these third these extra third round picks.

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I think we could still add a linebacker at some point.

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that wouldn't be bad.

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:02.440
<v Speaker 2>So here are the best available on the big board.

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Caid Club Nick the number one quarterback. So Ty Simpson

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 2>obviously gone. Nuss went a couple picks before before we

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:14.680
<v Speaker 2>took Wait, is Nuss still on the board? Hold the phone,

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 2>give me a second. No, I don't think he is.

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 2>He's been drafted. He's been drafted, so on the clock

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.359
<v Speaker 2>at pick eighty five. Here are second of the three

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 2>third round picks. Albert Regis on the board from A

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 2>and M. But we're not going back to back defensive lineman.

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:30.440
<v Speaker 3>No, I think the linemen are done.

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:32.359
<v Speaker 2>You know what, Let me do this position by position.

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Here's the wide receivers that are still available. Oh, Ted

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Hurst and Malachi Fields both still on the board.

0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:40.919
<v Speaker 3>I think Hurst would be perfect here, just because I

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:43.879
<v Speaker 3>know he's a little bit harder adjustment. If I was

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 3>only having won, I might take Fields over Hurst. But

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 3>if as a second one, if you could kind of

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.480
<v Speaker 3>wait until he adapts to the NFL, Hurst would be

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 3>really attractive. Yes he would, just a note, yes he would.

0:23:55.359 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Indeed, my friend Kyle lewis still on the board. Okay, wait,

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:02.920
<v Speaker 2>sorry I was wrong. Nuss is still on the board.

0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 2>So those two wide receivers, Kyle lewis Nuss. Let's see

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 2>who the top linebackers still a Genesis Smith, the safety

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:13.880
<v Speaker 2>is still there. Zakey Wheatley out of Penn State, who

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:15.240
<v Speaker 2>we talked about with jack Ham.

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Still there and we pick again soon we do.

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Michael Trigg, the crazy talented tight end out of Baylor

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 2>still there, So I mean there's options everywhere. Yeah, yeah,

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I tell you what, this might be the spot where

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I would take Kyle Lewis. I considered taking him nine

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:36.479
<v Speaker 2>picks earlier. He if you really kind of view him

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 2>as the safety, big nickel type, And yeah, maybe he

0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 2>learns from Jalen Ramsey and doesn't see the field a

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 2>ton his rookie year.

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't think he would, but that's okay, But I

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 3>think he'd be as good as special teamer as or

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:49.760
<v Speaker 3>is in his class. By the way. That's that's just

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:51.160
<v Speaker 3>his makeup and speed and.

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 2>All that exactly right.

0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 3>So Matt, I don't have a problem with that.

0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:56.639
<v Speaker 2>With the options here, I do not.

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 3>Think he's going to be an every down linebacker.

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. I just don't think he as the

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 2>size now.

0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:03.760
<v Speaker 3>He should be a specialty player, yes now, and that

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:04.959
<v Speaker 3>doesn't he doesn't play lost now.

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 2>He played in Jack Ham's era, he could play linebackerund.

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right, he might have been bigger than Ham.

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.119
<v Speaker 2>And on game day, Matt, with the way that this

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 2>line's out, I would be thinking of Kyle Lewis or

0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:19.159
<v Speaker 2>one of those wide receivers. I think those are the

0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 2>best players available, and I think they still help.

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I think i'd grab Lewis and then keep your eyes

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:27.119
<v Speaker 3>open for one of the wide receivers.

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm thinking, because I do like I do

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 2>like ze Key Wheatley, but I think Lewis has a

0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 2>lot more up. Wheatly might be the safer pick for

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:37.320
<v Speaker 2>a pure safety, but Lewis, if he hits, could hit big.

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he could, he could do.

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 2>We add a pitman here, former pitman Matt Williamson, Yeah,

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:45.679
<v Speaker 2>I think so.

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Louis Louie Louie Louie.

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 2>Eighty fifth overall from next door. The Pittsburgh Steelers select

0:25:53.960 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Lewis, linebacker safety hybrid out of the university located

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:03.919
<v Speaker 2>in the Oakland District of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So Matt, that

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:07.960
<v Speaker 2>leaves one more left for this exercise and bummer out

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:11.120
<v Speaker 2>a feeling this was gonna happen. But boys, both those

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:13.919
<v Speaker 2>wide receivers went off the board, not surprising. Ted Hurst

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 2>actually went right after we picked eighty sixth to the Chargers.

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:18.720
<v Speaker 3>I think he's got a chance.

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 2>We really good same. He's could be one of those

0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 2>small school guys that flies under the radar. That you know,

0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 2>if he went to Notre Dame, yeah, would have been

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the fiftieth pick.

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I'd hear that.

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:34.919
<v Speaker 2>And Malachi Fields goes ninety third to the Rams. So

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.239
<v Speaker 2>both of those guys end up in LA, just on

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.960
<v Speaker 2>different rosters. Zakey Wheatley goes to the Dolphins at ninety four,

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Genesis Smith goes to the Seahawks at ninety six. So

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 2>good thing we got a safety secondary type because the

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 2>other ones that we had talked a lot about we

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:54.679
<v Speaker 2>were gone. So to this point we have a tackle

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:57.280
<v Speaker 2>slash guard in Maxie and Hure. We have a wide

0:26:57.320 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 2>receiver and Elijah Surat defensive linemen, big citrus, dominique orange

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 2>and safety we're gonna call him and Kyle Lewis. I

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:09.359
<v Speaker 2>love how that fits for in terms of the positions

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 2>of need there too. Yeah yeah, like the players and

0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 2>where we got them, and I think they all fit

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 2>a need that the Steelers have at this point. So

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 2>with that, Matt with the last pick of the third round,

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 2>with the last pick of this exercise that we're doing,

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 2>this is another spot where I would really consider trading.

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah yeah, but if not, and for this exercise,

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 2>we're not going to NUSS is still on the board.

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:33.600
<v Speaker 3>I said I would consider a quarterback here.

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Michael Trigg is still on the board.

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 3>O line would certainly interest me too. I it's down

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:41.920
<v Speaker 3>the road, but I don't know how much longer you'll

0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:44.360
<v Speaker 3>be able to keep McCormick. I mean, I'm just preparing

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:44.960
<v Speaker 3>for that day.

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:51.200
<v Speaker 2>So let's look at specific positions here. Okay, wide receivers.

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Dejeon Stribbling out of Old miss is still there. Brennan

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Thompson from Mississippi State, CJ. Daniels from the U, Reggie

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Virgil from Texas, this tech. Those are the names at

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:02.200
<v Speaker 2>the top.

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:05.719
<v Speaker 3>For me, especially a double down at a position.

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 2>YEA running back Matt Jonah Coleman from Washington. I thought

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a little.

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 3>Early, but I thought I almost threw running back out there. Yeah,

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:19.119
<v Speaker 3>that Jem might be the second best in this class.

0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:21.119
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say I would not expect him to

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:23.240
<v Speaker 2>be here. Both the Penn State guys are still there.

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Emmett Johnson from Nebraska is still there. Interesting, he's interesting.

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 2>SETH McGowan out of Kentucky. So there are some good

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 2>running back options. Quarterbacks. You got Nuts, you got Aller,

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>you got everyone but club Nick and Simpson and Mendoza.

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Those are the three that are so club. Nick was

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 2>actually club same, but he was actually taking his QB three.

0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 3>I think would be my quarterback pick.

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Agreed, So let's sort this by you wan to QB

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:58.160
<v Speaker 2>and we're looking guard here, I would imagine right offensive line.

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Because Max might just steak guard. I mean, okay, here's

0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 3>the here's both.

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Here's the big board, yes, big board of all offensive lineman.

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Farmer out of Kentucky still there, Markel Bell out

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:13.880
<v Speaker 2>of the U, Demetrious crown Over out of A and

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:18.360
<v Speaker 2>M Billy Shureth out of Georgia, Cage Casey out of

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Boise State, Brian Parker the second at A Duke bo

0:29:21.880 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Stevens out of Iowa.

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 3>I like Belle quite a bit in this neighborhood. He's

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 3>not the quickest athlete, but he's enormous. Yes, he could

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 3>be like your sixth tackle for now. Maybe he's your

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 3>left tackle next to Max a year from now. Who knows?

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 3>That would interest mens? Interest me? This lest interest me, Yeah.

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 2>If they really think there's something there. But at the

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 2>same time, maybe they would look at it and go, hey,

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Nuss is still there. Aler's still there, Carson Beck's still there,

0:29:56.840 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, like we can Yeah, yeah. I would be

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 2>very intrigued here to go offensive line or running back,

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Matt because.

0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:08.600
<v Speaker 3>The running backs are better than I expect them to be.

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I just don't want to take another quarterback for this exercise.

0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm leaning more and more to just don't take a quarterback.

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:17.520
<v Speaker 2>And I think there's only two running backs off the

0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 2>board to this point.

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 3>So I would be it's definitely a luxury item. But

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 3>when you have this many picks.

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 2>If you want me to go luxury item, I would

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 2>argue for Michael Trigg, the tight end out of Baylor.

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:29.280
<v Speaker 2>But I got to go smart and kind of a luxury,

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 2>but fits a need as well. I would be looking

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 2>at running back and offensive line here, so I.

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Would say Bell or Coleman. Bell would be the old lineman.

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 3>I would probably pick pure tackle. Yep, Coleman's just like

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 3>probably the third best back in the.

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Would you go you'd go Markel Bell full pure tackle

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:50.080
<v Speaker 2>over Jalen Farmer pure guard.

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:52.959
<v Speaker 3>I think out of Kentucky. I think just because tackles

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 3>are worth more.

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Sure, do we go offensive line or do we go

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:00.000
<v Speaker 2>running back? That is the question.

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 3>O line's the wiser choice.

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 2>It is, and there's still a lot of those running

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 2>backs there. Man.

0:31:05.520 --> 0:31:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I say, you probably get Coleman's.

0:31:08.640 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Tempting, but he might be gone.

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I doubt it would make it to the fourth, but EMITTT.

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Johnson and those Penn State guys will probably still be there.

0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 2>SETH McGowan out of Kentucky will probably still be there.

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't take.

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't hate double dipping on the offensive line here.

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't either. It's probably the direction I would lean,

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 3>but I do worry. Worst case scenario, Caleb Johnson's a

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 3>bust like you. Just the new staff looks at him

0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 3>and says, sorry, I just don't think you're good enough,

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 3>and I don't think.

0:31:35.320 --> 0:31:38.239
<v Speaker 2>That'st you to run the outside zone scheme. Yeah, and

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:39.320
<v Speaker 2>that's not our cup of tea.

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 3>You're not for us. And one of the other two

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 3>backs gets hurt because they do that. You know, like

0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 3>back might be of a little bit bigger need than

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 3>you think. I'm just it's probably fourth, fifth round, but

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 3>we have this is not something we've discussed. Yeah, at

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 3>least we need to throw it out there. Yes, yeah, yes,

0:31:58.680 --> 0:32:00.920
<v Speaker 3>so I think I take the old lineman here, it's

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:02.680
<v Speaker 3>probably your last chance to get a tackle.

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 2>That's where I'm thinking. I'm thinking, after this, there's not

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 2>going to be any offensive lineman that really tickle our fancy.

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 2>But it could still be a running back or two.

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's done.

0:32:11.440 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Like if you take the old linement, you're done with

0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 3>the line.

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's take MARKL. Bell lock it in.

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 3>He'd be like, you're taking two tackles. And what if

0:32:18.080 --> 0:32:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Roderck Jones good and Cook's good? And good problem to have?

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Great that we have extra tackles, great problem to have.

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 3>Sign me up.

0:32:24.720 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 2>So in this version of what is this, I think

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the third or fourth week that we've done this are

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 2>s n R Drive Weekly Mock Draft, our five picks.

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:37.840
<v Speaker 2>We take first round Maxie and h R Tackle slash

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:40.360
<v Speaker 2>guard out of their potential to play guard for a

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 2>year or so out of Arizona State. Then we go

0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver National champion, which fits. That's something Omar Kahn

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 2>has done every year. But Roderick Jones, Roman Wilson will hired.

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Remember national champ, oh Jack Sawyer will hired and Jackson.

0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:59.120
<v Speaker 3>I think the Indiana guys are gonna go pretty high,

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 3>a little higher than people think they're just so well coached,

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 3>so well coast. Nflready is a term I don't really like,

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 3>but they're a little more NFL ready professional with you know,

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:11.080
<v Speaker 3>I think those guys are going to play a lot

0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 3>in his rookies. The Indiana crew.

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Elijah Surratt second round, wide receiver out of the National

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 2>champion Indiana Hoosiers. Third round, we go big citrus Dominique

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Orange out of Iowa State, the big nosy defensive linemen.

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Then we stay local. Kyle Lewis third round. Some potential.

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:34.000
<v Speaker 2>He's the jack of all trades, but master of none.

0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't translate to the NFL.

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 3>Should happen. That could certainly be a lifetime special teamer.

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 2>But he could also hit and be one of these

0:33:41.000 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 2>unique kind of big nickel slot capable type pieces in

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the secondary that are the new wave in the National

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Football League. He's our second third round pick. And then

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Markel Bell from National Champion runner up Miami the tackle.

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:58.920
<v Speaker 2>We double dip there on the offensive line, so two

0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:02.840
<v Speaker 2>offensive linemen, why receiver, a defensive lineman, and a safety.

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Matt If that's if those are the first five picks,

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm signing up for that.

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'd be pretty excited about that.

0:34:09.480 --> 0:34:11.440
<v Speaker 2>We're still too early in this process.

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:13.919
<v Speaker 3>Go into day three really not needing much running back.

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 3>But that's about a running back at some point. But

0:34:16.120 --> 0:34:19.120
<v Speaker 3>you could start trading picks or moving up. I mean again,

0:34:19.160 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 3>there's they have such a well have seven picks after this? Yeah,

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 3>I know where you do it after a while, fight

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.960
<v Speaker 3>a camp arm or whatever. But you know, maybe maybe

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 3>he's more than that. So there another tight end.

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, another tight end, I think too. Yeah, running they

0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 2>will draft the tight end, maybe linebacker, but yeah, yeah,

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:38.720
<v Speaker 2>but you would really feel like you would be wide

0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:42.399
<v Speaker 2>open for business and any and all possibilities. One more

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:44.360

<v Speaker 2>Final segment of the week. Here fired Up on a Friday.

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:51.479
<v Speaker 2>It's been a good day. It's been a good week

0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:54.520
<v Speaker 2>of shows, and Matt, there's only one thing left to

0:35:54.560 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 2>do but close this week down with some participation on

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the ex Twitter. All right, but before we do that,

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:04.400
<v Speaker 2>we do have some uh some some Steelers news, breaking

0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Steelers news that we do need to discuss today. And

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 2>that is a name that we've mentioned, Ryan McCollum back

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:11.759
<v Speaker 2>in the fold for the Black and Gold.

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I forget exactly how it went. They did not

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:18.359
<v Speaker 3>offer him a tender as a restricted, but then they

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.680
<v Speaker 3>signed him to a one year deal just now, which

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 3>means he'll be in camp. I assume there won't be it.

0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:28.480
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen the exact contract details, but I assume

0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:33.160
<v Speaker 3>it's not a huge, you know, amount of money or

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot of guaranteed money, because you know, if he

0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:37.880
<v Speaker 3>doesn't make the team, then you know he doesn't make

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 3>the team. So I don't think he's guaranteed a spot,

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:43.040
<v Speaker 3>but he's a quality backup center and you probably play

0:36:43.080 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 3>him a ton in the preseason with Howard and go

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:49.239
<v Speaker 3>from there. And I know he has played guard, but

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:55.880
<v Speaker 3>I would rather that guy be three players, three position strong,

0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 3>as opposed to just juste.

0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:00.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, but if you get to a point where

0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:03.920
<v Speaker 2>you don't have that guy that's three positions strong, Collum

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 2>is a certainly a capable backup center. According to our

0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:11.720
<v Speaker 2>buddy Alan Saunders, the restricted if they would have retained

0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:14.440
<v Speaker 2>his rights as a restricted free agent, it would have

0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:17.680
<v Speaker 2>been three and a half million bucks last year McCollum.

0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Last year McCollum made a little over a million, so

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 2>allan kind of prognosticating that it's probably somewhere in between those.

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, probably one year two million or something like that,

0:37:27.360 --> 0:37:29.239
<v Speaker 3>which makes that out a lot of guarantee or anything

0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 3>like that. So an underrated job of the GM and

0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 3>roster builder is you really need to have not not

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:41.279
<v Speaker 3>that they have to be great, but you have to

0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:47.640
<v Speaker 3>be able to field preseason offensive lines from first quarter,

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:50.479
<v Speaker 3>second or third quarter, fourth quarter that are at least

0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:53.520
<v Speaker 3>good enough that you can evaluate the other players.

0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:57.440
<v Speaker 2>That's that's a sneaky part of this process that if

0:37:57.440 --> 0:38:00.319
<v Speaker 2>you put Will Howard out there behind it a bunch

0:38:00.320 --> 0:38:02.600
<v Speaker 2>of traffic cones, Right, how are you really going to

0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:04.000
<v Speaker 2>evaluate if he can play or not?

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Or hey, is Caleb Johnson good enough or not? But

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:08.120
<v Speaker 3>you don't block for him at all in the games?

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:10.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, Like, come on, it's the same conversation that

0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:13.320
<v Speaker 2>we had with Malik Willis and Miami kind of stripping

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 2>off all the assets around him, right right, but just

0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 2>at a second string level.

0:38:18.080 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like if you're a or quarter in

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:24.160
<v Speaker 3>the preseason and you're a line which is a shortage position,

0:38:24.800 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 3>can't block a soul, well, I can't evaluate anybody else.

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Quarterback got sacked for a receiver he can open.

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:33.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's a great point. It's something we don't

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:35.480
<v Speaker 2>think about often, but yeah, certainly.

0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:37.960
<v Speaker 3>For figuring out who your best guys are big.

0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Part of the process. All right, let's get to some

0:38:40.000 --> 0:38:42.879
<v Speaker 2>tweets before we get out of here. We got about

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:44.880
<v Speaker 2>six minutes or so. Let's buzz through as many of

0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 2>these as we can t MAAC tweets and says, if

0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:50.960
<v Speaker 2>you guys were to make an all time franchise team

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.520
<v Speaker 2>for every team in the league, would the Steelers be

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:57.400
<v Speaker 2>the best? I think so by far, thanks Jents. I

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:00.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know about by far far really really really sure

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:04.240
<v Speaker 2>would be very good. Niners would be very good, Patriots

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 2>would be very good. Packers would be very good.

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:09.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And the thing about the stage they might be

0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:12.680
<v Speaker 3>at the top. There aren't many weak spots, that's to

0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:17.920
<v Speaker 3>the Steelers exactly right, Like offensive tackles not amazing, And

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:19.800
<v Speaker 3>by that I mean there's just not Hall of Famers,

0:39:20.080 --> 0:39:25.680
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean. I mean, Max Start, but you.

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Know it's not Joe Thomas right and Trent Williams and you.

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Know, I mean if your guard center combination is Fanica

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.040
<v Speaker 3>and the Castro, and then you've got to pick between

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Dirt and Webby good Lord, tackles not as strong.

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:41.759
<v Speaker 2>You need to move one of Dirt Webb conversation.

0:39:41.920 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, but yeah, I mean and tight end Heath

0:39:45.160 --> 0:39:48.560
<v Speaker 3>Miller's pretty darn good. I mean, but if those are

0:39:48.600 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 3>your weaknesses, that's what I'm saying, Like, that's your weaknesses,

0:39:51.680 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 3>and you've.

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Got a Hall of Famer at every other position.

0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I mean Woodson and Blunt, or maybe two

0:39:57.640 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 3>of the top three corners ever lived, or two of

0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:02.200
<v Speaker 3>the deathly the top five. You know. So, and you

0:40:02.200 --> 0:40:03.520
<v Speaker 3>can say that a lot of spots.

0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you can.

0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I think I think the answers yes.

0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Off the top of my head, I think the answer

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:11.480
<v Speaker 2>is yes, the Cowboys would be really good. The Niners

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 2>would be really good.

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:12.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I think the Steelers might have the best roster. Yeah,

0:40:16.440 --> 0:40:19.840
<v Speaker 2>on paper. Yeah, in terms of the defense, would have

0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:21.320
<v Speaker 2>a Hall of Famer at every position.

0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, especially if you're filling out like a fifty three,

0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:27.080
<v Speaker 3>if like Levon Kirkland's your third string linebacker, or you

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:27.759
<v Speaker 3>know things.

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Like that lev Bell is your third string running back.

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right, right right, or you know, Bradshaw's your backup.

0:40:35.800 --> 0:40:37.400
<v Speaker 3>You know things like that, Matt.

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Matt, talk to me about this real quick. Antonio Brown,

0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Lynn Swan, John Stalworth, Hines, Ward, Plexico Burs.

0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:49.320
<v Speaker 3>I think Wards you're four, Like, come on, it's pretty strong.

0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Prances your five?

0:40:50.560 --> 0:40:52.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, like, come on, pretty good.

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:53.800
<v Speaker 2>It's unbelievable.

0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:57.919
<v Speaker 3>It's unbelievable. Yes, Stellers, I would shocked if I could

0:40:57.920 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 3>come up with a team bet.

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's something we could say for the offseason in

0:41:01.040 --> 0:41:03.160
<v Speaker 2>June if we need to kill an hour of like

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:04.960
<v Speaker 2>what does the Cowboys team look like? What does the

0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Niners and the Packers teams look like? And they'd be

0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:10.560
<v Speaker 2>really good, it'd be really awesome, without a doubt, without

0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:16.680
<v Speaker 2>about Let's see here, here's a smooth Dave. This is

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:18.880
<v Speaker 2>a good one. What's the furthest you would trade up

0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:23.120
<v Speaker 2>for these players? Sunny Styles, Caleb Downs, Carnel Tait.

0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:25.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I would trade up for any

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:29.880
<v Speaker 3>nothing realistic. I mean, like, yeah, i'd go to like fifteen.

0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say I would go to the fifteen

0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:35.240
<v Speaker 2>to seventeen range, probably for Styles and.

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Probably any of that.

0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:37.319
<v Speaker 2>Probably for any of them.

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:40.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, great, And I just don't think that's realistic. I'm

0:41:40.760 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 3>not going to eight or nine and have to give

0:41:43.640 --> 0:41:45.759
<v Speaker 3>up like next year's first And that's why I think

0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 3>we'd have to go. I mean, I'm giving up no

0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 3>picks next year to go up in any trades.

0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I am absolutely not doing that, Absolutely not doing that.

0:41:57.239 --> 0:42:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's see here, tweets us and says Matt has talked

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:05.320
<v Speaker 2>about how he's liking the idea of offensive line in

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:07.600
<v Speaker 2>round one and then receiver after that. I think we're

0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:09.640
<v Speaker 2>both warming up to that idea. Who are some of

0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 2>your favorite wide receivers after round one?

0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:14.000
<v Speaker 3>So we've kind.

0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Of played this out with some of our exercises. But

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I think Tate is a round one guy, Lemon, round

0:42:19.760 --> 0:42:22.160
<v Speaker 2>one guy, Tyson round one.

0:42:22.000 --> 0:42:24.439
<v Speaker 3>Guy most likely. But I don't think any of those

0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:25.759
<v Speaker 3>are there in the second.

0:42:25.440 --> 0:42:27.120
<v Speaker 2>For the steal Boston conception.

0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:29.719
<v Speaker 3>I would think they're all gone for sure.

0:42:29.840 --> 0:42:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Did you put Omar Cooper Junior as the.

0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:32.919
<v Speaker 3>Sixth you'd be the next one? Yeah?

0:42:32.960 --> 0:42:33.759
<v Speaker 2>By fifty three?

0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it's gone by then.

0:42:35.600 --> 0:42:39.840
<v Speaker 2>So at that point, Chris Brazil, Malachi Fields, Ted.

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:42.799
<v Speaker 3>Hurst surat that we took that.

0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:45.520
<v Speaker 2>We just took Jeremy Bernard out of Alabama.

0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Both the small dudes Lance with North Coast North Dakota

0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:54.640
<v Speaker 3>State and the Georgia State dude Hurst Hurst, Yep, absolutely,

0:42:55.600 --> 0:42:59.160
<v Speaker 3>both the little dudes Georgia and Oklahoma. I think they're

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:04.640
<v Speaker 3>really interesting. Did you mention Bernard from Alabama?

0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:06.799
<v Speaker 2>I think yes, yes, Jeremy Bernard. Yep.

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of names, and some of them will

0:43:09.160 --> 0:43:11.239
<v Speaker 3>drift into the third round. I don't know at the

0:43:11.320 --> 0:43:13.040
<v Speaker 3>end of the third round, but they'll drift into the

0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:16.600
<v Speaker 3>third round for sure. Day two receivers in this class

0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:19.640
<v Speaker 3>are really really good. The other one that's a crazy

0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:25.239
<v Speaker 3>one is the Louisville kid. He's two and twenty five

0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:28.160
<v Speaker 3>pounds and I.

0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Guess the spell best spell.

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:33.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he got hurt late in the year. He is

0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:35.880
<v Speaker 3>unbelievable with the ball in his hands. People think he

0:43:35.960 --> 0:43:38.120
<v Speaker 3>was going to run like a four to three if

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:41.080
<v Speaker 3>you if you look at his charting data, you know

0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:44.279
<v Speaker 3>his mal per hour stuff. It was one of the

0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:47.280
<v Speaker 3>fastest in the country. And he's like two twenty five

0:43:47.520 --> 0:43:50.440
<v Speaker 3>with like a he's like a bigger debo. He has

0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:53.839
<v Speaker 3>some real ups and downs, but his ups are He's

0:43:53.880 --> 0:43:56.799
<v Speaker 3>another one that you put his highlight tape out there.

0:43:56.840 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 3>It's like he's the best player in the league. He's

0:43:58.520 --> 0:44:01.640
<v Speaker 3>the best best receiver in the draft. Now he's injured

0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:04.040
<v Speaker 3>as we speak, but he's really interesting.

0:44:06.120 --> 0:44:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, we got time for one or two more here.

0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Rj tweets about the rule change conversation that we had yesterday,

0:44:13.280 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 2>said that he enjoyed that, but he would add. The

0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 2>rule change that he would add is stop giving the

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 2>ball to the defense when the offense fumbles it through

0:44:20.600 --> 0:44:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the end zone.

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:23.040
<v Speaker 3>I've said that for thirty Yearsay this is a.

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Big point of contention in these conversations.

0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that's a popular.

0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:29.640
<v Speaker 2>One, But I think a lot of people would tell you, like, hey,

0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:32.920
<v Speaker 2>we legislate everything in the end of this, like this

0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:35.319
<v Speaker 2>would this would always be Motes's argument when this, when

0:44:35.360 --> 0:44:38.440
<v Speaker 2>this would come up. Everything in the NFL is legislated

0:44:38.480 --> 0:44:40.359
<v Speaker 2>to make life or easier on the offense. Can you

0:44:40.400 --> 0:44:44.440
<v Speaker 2>give the defense this one thing? Yeah, Like creating a

0:44:44.520 --> 0:44:47.000
<v Speaker 2>turnover at the goal line is not equal to creating

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:49.040
<v Speaker 2>a turn turnover on the rest of the field. Like

0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:51.839
<v Speaker 2>it's a heightened situation. The offense should know that they

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:54.120
<v Speaker 2>have to have more ball security and be on their

0:44:54.160 --> 0:44:56.759
<v Speaker 2>p's and q's in that situation. Which I get that

0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:59.160
<v Speaker 2>side of it, But yeah, there's also the rule that

0:44:59.239 --> 0:45:01.719
<v Speaker 2>a fumble can advanced the ball forward, So why don't

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:04.319
<v Speaker 2>we keep that same logic in the end zone so

0:45:04.360 --> 0:45:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I can see both sides of.

0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:07.680
<v Speaker 3>That are my big take on I hate the rule

0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:12.840
<v Speaker 3>as it is because I don't like that a team

0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:16.920
<v Speaker 3>can get possession without ever possessing the ball, like the

0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:19.600
<v Speaker 3>defense never possessed the football. I just fumbled it out.

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:24.600
<v Speaker 3>It's reaching across a pylon or whatever. But I've also

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:28.680
<v Speaker 3>never heard an answer that I like for to solve it.

0:45:29.640 --> 0:45:32.280
<v Speaker 3>I've never been like, so we do this instead, I'm like, give.

0:45:32.120 --> 0:45:33.719
<v Speaker 2>It to him at the toy, answer to him at

0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the two or.

0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:36.719
<v Speaker 3>I've heard a lot of people throw things out, but

0:45:36.760 --> 0:45:38.680
<v Speaker 3>none of them have been like, yep, that's the answer.

0:45:39.600 --> 0:45:40.719
<v Speaker 2>I sit on the fence.

0:45:40.800 --> 0:45:42.280
<v Speaker 3>One smart needs to come up with an answer.

0:45:42.440 --> 0:45:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I sit on the fence on that one big time too.

0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:46.960
<v Speaker 2>So I can see both sides of the argument. Last one,

0:45:47.040 --> 0:45:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Sudesh says football is not just my favorite sport, it's church.

0:45:51.520 --> 0:45:55.280
<v Speaker 2>That being said, I love March badness. How about you, guys,

0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:58.400
<v Speaker 2>with your time constraints considered.

0:45:58.640 --> 0:45:59.399
<v Speaker 3>Are you a big fan?

0:45:59.640 --> 0:46:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, Matt, you and I are. I think

0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:04.440
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of funny actually, in the ways that you

0:46:04.480 --> 0:46:06.920
<v Speaker 2>and I are similar were very similar, but in the

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:09.640
<v Speaker 2>ways that were different were very different. I've made this

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.320
<v Speaker 2>joke before. If it's not the NFL or Mario Lemieux,

0:46:12.520 --> 0:46:14.280
<v Speaker 2>you don't really care in the sports world.

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:16.879
<v Speaker 3>I used to when I was younger. It just had

0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:19.200
<v Speaker 3>to keep whittling it down and right.

0:46:19.360 --> 0:46:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I love the sports calendar as much as football is

0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 2>my end all be all. I love March Badness, I

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:28.240
<v Speaker 2>love the l I love college sports. I love European soccer,

0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:30.640
<v Speaker 2>the Premier League and the Champions League and the World Cup.

0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I love the Olympics. I love the difference. I'll be

0:46:34.239 --> 0:46:36.200
<v Speaker 2>tuned into the Masters here in a couple of weeks.

0:46:36.320 --> 0:46:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I do love the different things on the sports calendar.

0:46:39.160 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I didn't even fill out a bracket. If I

0:46:41.440 --> 0:46:43.880
<v Speaker 3>don't watch any of it, so be it.

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.960
<v Speaker 2>You know this Baseball is my least favorite sport of

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:49.840
<v Speaker 2>all major sports. But when the World Baseball Classics on,

0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:54.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm locked in. Yea, when it's the World Series, I'm

0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:54.759
<v Speaker 2>locked in.

0:46:55.600 --> 0:46:58.000
<v Speaker 3>I respect the tournament to know end, though. I mean

0:46:58.040 --> 0:47:00.640
<v Speaker 3>there's a difference in terms of do I actually on

0:47:00.760 --> 0:47:02.680
<v Speaker 3>or go out of my way to watch it, or

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 3>care who wins. I mean, it's an unbelievable event and

0:47:06.560 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 3>all that part I respect to no end. This year,

0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:12.759
<v Speaker 3>I actually care about two teams Ohio. I have a

0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:15.080
<v Speaker 3>friend of the family who's own Miami, Ohio, and my

0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:18.080
<v Speaker 3>son goes to Kentucky. So but we write them a

0:47:18.120 --> 0:47:21.239
<v Speaker 3>big check. I want them to win, you know. But

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:24.520
<v Speaker 3>all the other games, I really don't. I heard fashion,

0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:28.400
<v Speaker 3>but overall, I don't care who wins and any of it.

0:47:29.360 --> 0:47:32.800
<v Speaker 3>And like my buddies, I got a lot of buddies

0:47:32.800 --> 0:47:36.840
<v Speaker 3>that have taken Thursday and Friday off for decades and

0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:40.200
<v Speaker 3>they go watch it all and that's cool, you know.

0:47:40.640 --> 0:47:42.600
<v Speaker 3>And I would sit there and have a cold one

0:47:42.600 --> 0:47:44.640
<v Speaker 3>with them, no doubt. And I might even deny after

0:47:44.680 --> 0:47:47.600
<v Speaker 3>britt Floyd or whatever or tomorrow or whatever. But I

0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:50.280
<v Speaker 3>don't care who wins, and I wouldn't change my schedule

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:52.080
<v Speaker 3>for it's just where I am now.

0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:53.960
<v Speaker 2>That makes a lot of sense, and I think that's

0:47:53.960 --> 0:47:56.439
<v Speaker 2>how a lot of people are. But I also don't

0:47:56.440 --> 0:48:00.239
<v Speaker 2>begrudge the people that use Thursdays a personal day, take

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:03.560
<v Speaker 2>some pto and belly up to their favorite establishment and

0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:06.240
<v Speaker 2>watch hoops all day. It is. It's a fantastic tradition

0:48:06.280 --> 0:48:06.960
<v Speaker 2>here in this country.

0:48:07.000 --> 0:48:12.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know many men that have gotten snipped right.

0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Before that that's their busiest thing to do.

0:48:14.320 --> 0:48:16.440
<v Speaker 3>That's their busiest time, right, Like I gotta stay on

0:48:16.440 --> 0:48:17.440
<v Speaker 3>the couch on you're a.

0:48:17.520 --> 0:48:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Right sorry man, can't do anything right all.

0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Do Wednesday says Thursday, I can't do anything.

0:48:23.120 --> 0:48:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Enjoy the madness this weekend, everybody, Matt. Enjoy the Britt

0:48:25.719 --> 0:48:26.480
