WEBVTT - Best Traits of Each Dolphins Draft Pick with Brett Kollmann 0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:14.960 Looking Down, Cut Down, Miami Quos, drawn, What is up? Dolphans? 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.520 And welcome to the Drive Time Podcast part of the 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.799 Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team, your Miami Dolphins. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.600 How's it going everybody? I am your host, Travis Wingfield. 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.200 And on today's show, we're gonna hear from a source 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.320 I reference all the time on this podcast on Twitter 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:37.040 and otherwise, the Film Rooms, Brett Coleman. We're gonna go 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.840 pick by pick. Brett's going to list the best trait 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.559 of each prospect we drafted and how they can be 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.640 beneficial in Miami schemes. Will also assign some homework by 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.559 giving you the best tape of each prospect so you 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.440 can go look at them at their very best. All 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.360 of that and more on this edition of the Drive 0:00:55.440 --> 0:01:00.840 Time Podcasts. And I want to keep this podcast off 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.560 by using a couple of other resources. I love The 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.400 Athletic and the Draft Network and a couple of articles 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.880 penned by two of my favorite writers, and Ted Win 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.399 of The Athletic and Joe Marino of the Draft Network. 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.840 And we'll go ahead and start on the Athletic with 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.479 Ted's Film Room, his ten favorite scheme and player fits, 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:22.479 from NFL Draft, not just talking about the best draft picks, 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.320 but who fits into their new team and their new 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.120 system and into their new surrounding cast. The best and 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.680 number one he has Trey Lance in San Francisco. I 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.920 think we all kind of assumed that was coming based 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.720 upon their move up in the draft and Kyle Shanahan's 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.039 history with developing quarterbacks and that offensive system and how 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.399 QB friendly it is. And Trey Lance has all the 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.240 traits to take that offense and that team to the 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.520 next level. Just please wait until we can get our 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.880 draft picks up there at the top of the draft 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.280 and not the bottom. The number two player on his 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.840 list is Jalen Waddle, the receiver out of Alabama now 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.600 with your Miami Dolphins. He list his play style as 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.720 a speed receiver with elite acceleration and a exceptional play 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.040 strength for his size, heavy play action bootlegs, and West 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.760 Coast principles or the fit he has for this Dolphins 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.520 offense and receiver. Says he loves Wattle still with the Dolphins, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.679 not just because of the scheme, and truthfully, we don't 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.200 know what kind of scheme it's going to be. He 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.840 writes with new coordinators Eric Studicsville and George Gatzi. But 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.960 he loves the fit because of what Waddle could do 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.840 for quarterback to a Tongue by Loa, and he talks 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.040 about the wider windows and the intermediate to deep portions 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.400 of the field creating more opportunities and less hesitation in 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.120 this Dolphins offense to attack vertically. He also says that 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.680 he creates Wattle does more separation than any receiver he's 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.840 scouted in recent memory, and he does it in a hurry. 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.160 Ted writes his ability to accelerate and maintain speed on 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.240 his cuts is uncanny, and he writes about an instant 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.600 deep threat here for tongue Byla but who can also 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.639 help him creating separation on the horizontal routes like digs 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.240 or crossing routes. And the hope is that bigger windows 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.200 Wattle will create could encourage the Dolphins offense and too 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.799 it would be more aggressive throwing the football down the field. 0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.480 And also oh by the way they go out and 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.280 they get will Fuller to compliment that as well. How 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.320 about the Draft network piece. We go to one end 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.359 of the draft with the number six pick in the draft, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.360 all the way to pick to forty one with Jared Doakes, 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.320 who leads off Joe Marino's piece titled Marino's Top five 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.919 sleepers from one NFL draft and who was on their 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.920 first but Jared Doakes. He says he loves the Dolphins 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.920 didn't panic when it comes to the running back position, 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:26.120 but instead prioritize more meaningful positions with early draft capital. 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.880 And he continues on talking about the production of fellow 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.040 seventh round draft pick Miles Gaskin, but also how Doakes 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.920 is a good compliment because of his powerful downhill running 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.680 style that has angry runs attached to it and explosive 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.720 into contact with good vision and contact balance. He also 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.280 notes his terrific pass protection and a capable receiver in 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.720 that Cincinnati offense. So Joe Marino a big fan of 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.600 the last draft pick for the Miami Dolphins too overall, 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.280 and Ted Win a big fan of the first pick, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.119 number six overall in Jalen Waddle for your Miami Dolphins. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.120 And with that, I want to welcome in my guest today. 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.680 I talked about him all the time on the podcast, 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.560 referencing his great work he does. He's the creator of 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.240 the film Room on YouTube. You can subscribe to that channel. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.040 You can also hear him via the podcast Airways on 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.800 the Bootleg Football podcast with his co host E. J. Snyder. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.800 He's Brett Coleman. Brett. Here we go again, Man, how 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.280 the hell are you? Um? I'm doing great, And even 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.400 though I'm not a Dolphins fan, I was absolutely psyched 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.320 to see what they came away within the draft. Uh, 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.720 pick after pick after pick. If you're following me on Twitter, 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.640 every single time the Dolphins picked, I was just like, man, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:40.359 that's great. That's just value, value value. I loved everything 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.680 they did well. I mean we talked this offseason a 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.160 little bit, and I I do like I have some 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.279 sympathy for what you're going through. Is a lifelong Texans fan, 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.680 but I mean you've been talking about jumping ship for 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.000 a while now, Man, like join us. I you know, 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.800 I I was halfway a Bears fan because my dad 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.240 lived in Chicago, so I've you know, passively rooted for 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.440 the Bears and kind of jumped full on over to 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.360 the Bears this offseason. But I'm looking for a new 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.680 a f C team, and I'll tell you what, the 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.600 future is bright for the Dolphins. So if I can 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.440 get in, not at the ground floor. The ground floor 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:13.720 was a couple of years ago. If I can get 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.120 in you know, second or third floor and right this 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:17.760 all the way up to the eightieth, I think I'll 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.840 be okay. Well, at least you've got justin fields there 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.800 in Chicago hopefully. And I talked about this on Draft night. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.120 I am rooting so hard for that whole quarterback woes 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.360 in Chicago to go by the boards, especially if they're 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.080 going to give us the Bears four or five times 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.440 a year in prime time. Let's get a competitive team 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.159 on that NBC and NFL network and ESPN broadcast. But 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.480 that's neither here nor there. I do want to touch 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:40.760 on a couple of things before we get into the 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.720 football here, because Brett, every video you make, you make 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.120 me thirsty, and then you make me hungry on Twitter 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.640 with that post draft mill you post a man like 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.640 I wasn't sure if you made that or if that 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:55.040 was a restaurant. What was that? So that wasn't a 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.320 place that we just we were looking for a place 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.920 to eat, uh and I found it open table. It's 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.440 place called Wooden vine Over or wood and vine Over 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.960 in l A. Uh. I live, you know, in the 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.680 l A area, and uh, they had only been open 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.400 for three days. They were closed down during the entire 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.200 last year for obvious reasons. And it was one of 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.960 the best meals I've ever had. Thirty two ounds perfectly 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:24.520 cooked rebby you know, smoke, garlic, mashed potatoes, these great 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.760 like chili, honey, Brussels sprout. It was phenomenal. So I 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.039 posted that on Twitter because I was like, I need 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.360 people to see this place and go here because I 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.160 never want them to close again. It was amazing. This 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.480 is a man who lives his best life. I think 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.159 it was maybe it was when the pandemic was cooling 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.600 down after the first wave or something, and you had 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.839 gone to an outdoor event where Bill Burr pops into 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.800 the set for you. What was that like? I mean, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.280 it was amazing because it was just these little, you know, 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:57.839 impromptu comedy shows, you know, parking lot behind a barber shop, 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:00.120 because all these comedians hadn't been able to do was 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.640 showing months and they were rusty, and so they were 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.960 just bringing in random people that just wanted to do 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.960 a set to keep fresh and Bill burg happened to 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.440 be one of them. And this was like a ten 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.400 dollar ticket, you know, like, this is a small, dinky 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.040 show with like fifteen twenty people in the audience, and 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.920 he just randomly rolled up, you know, started doing his 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:21.720 uh Bill Burr type improvisation for the people that were 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.040 yelling at him from a taco truck across the street. 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.520 It was it was great. It was one of the 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.240 best comedy shows I've ever seen. I listened to the 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.720 Monday morning podcast every single week I listened to was 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.360 Bill Burt Podcast with Burt Kreischer. He's one of the 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.559 funniest men alive, and he's also one of the most 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.600 uh notorious or infamous I don't know how to put 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.680 it bourbon drinkers, but he stepped away since then. But man, 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.200 I talked about you making me thirsty on the YouTube channel. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.480 Those those video shoots you do of the drinks and 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.040 the concoction as it is, they always look so delicious, man, Like, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:56.200 have you always had that passion for spirits? I've always 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.640 loved whiskey, and I tried to get a little bit 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.600 into mes cow and trying to get into rum as well, 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.600 but whiskey has always been very close to my heart. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.200 And you know, when I started going on camera with 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.840 these videos, I wanted to, you know, kind of show 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.640 a little bit more of myself, and whiskey was always 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.200 something that kind of calmed my nerves a little bit 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.120 for being on camera, because that was not something that 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.200 I really wanted to do it first, but I knew 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.920 I had to um, and you know, the whiskey was 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.920 there to call my nerves and it's also just something 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.480 I love. And over time that whiskey became part of 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.360 the channel, part of the brand. And you know, fans 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.679 love it when I, you know, throw a new drink 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.440 in there that maybe they've never had before, never made before, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.240 and you know, you get to have a nice little cocktail, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.000 get to talk some football, and I think it's a 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.000 format that works for me. It's the Film Room on YouTube. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.640 Go check it out. He has a phenomenal Jalen Phillips video. 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.760 We're gonna talk about him here in just one second. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.720 And as you can tell, the man loves the Dolphins 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.000 draft class. I just have to mention how funny it 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.520 is to me that you were nervous about going on camera, 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:57.959 since that's what you do for a living now. When 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.439 I first started doing podcast, I was afraid I hated 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:02.760 the sound of my own voice, and now here I 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.040 am hosting Dolphins draft parties in front of six thousand 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.040 Dolphins fans at hard Rock Stadium. Like it's it's crazy 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.080 how it works. Like I think your biggest insecurity is 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.199 something you work on it turns into a strength. It 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.400 certainly has for you, man. I love the channel, I 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.000 love the resource. I talked to you about it all 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.080 the time. It's some of the best content out there. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.199 So let's go ahead and finish up before we get 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.800 into the football here with your mock draft. I saw 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.520 some of the people talking about their scores on Huddle 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.800 and Josh Norris had like a batting average of a 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.480 thousand percent. How did your mock draft go this year? 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.960 You know, it's interesting I didn't get a score on 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.400 that because I never like submitted it for review or 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.800 anything like that. And my mock draft is a little 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.480 bit different where I focus more on what would I 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.480 do if I was a general manager versus trying to 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.120 predict picks, and I ended up getting some guys in 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.240 the first round that almost nobody else had in the 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.520 first round just because I went off my own grades, 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.720 like Joe try On and Peyton Turner towards the end 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.199 of the first round, I had them as the thirty 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.120 one and thirty second overall pick, and then you know, 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.480 Joe Tryan went thirty two. Peyton Turner went a few 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.480 picks before that at to the Saints, and you know 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.160 a lot of people were like, what's what is this? Why? 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.760 Why are why are you putting them in your mock draft? 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.240 And then they go in the top thirty two picks 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:15.880 a few days later, and I'm like, well, I put 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.080 them in my mock draft because they're really good players. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.920 That's why I did it. Um. But you know, there 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.239 were there was a lot of picks that I accidentally 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.480 got correct, Like I put Trey Lance at number three 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.280 to the forty Niners because I felt, ironically the pick 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.200 of the Dolphins traded away to the forty Niners. You know, 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:33.840 I put Trey Lance there because I felt that he 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:37.640 was worth the pick. And then I didn't want to 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.720 buy into the whole you know, we're taking the Alabama 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.280 kid at three because I that just wasn't my grades, 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.440 And I stuck true to my grades and ended up 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.960 getting that one, right. I stuck true to my grades 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.440 and got Jamaar Chase to the Bengals over Penn a stool. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.760 There was a lot of disagreement there, but oddly enough, 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.920 just me sticking to my own grades, UH ended up 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.200 getting a few picks right. And by the way, a 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.760 lot of Dolphins fans were wondering, why are we taking 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:06.320 Jalen Phillips at eighteen? I personally had him at eleven 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.400 to the Giants, So for me, that was actually a 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.200 pretty big value. Oh Man, the still still the first 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.480 round perhaps there as far as him fall into the 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.080 eighteenth pick of the draft, first defensive and off the 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.400 board there. And I think it's great that you provide 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.840 that that look at the at the mock draft process, 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.400 because you know, you're a film guy. You're a guy 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.640 that knows how these players work and how they operate. 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.480 So do it that way. Let the insiders, like Peter 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.760 Schrager's of the world, for instance, do the here's what 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.960 I'm hearing mock draft. I think there's place for both 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.920 of them. And with that, I want to get into 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.280 our podcast here where I want to go down each 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.280 player picked by the Dolphins and talk about their best trade, 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.840 how it fits into the Dolphins scheme, and their best 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.200 tape you can give the fans to go watch. Does 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.400 that work for you? Brett Coleman, absolutely, let's do it. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.080 Let's start with Jalen Waddle, number six pick in the draft, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.920 the number two receiver off the board. What is his 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.840 best trade? In your opinion, it's the ability to separate quickly. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.240 And you know, you and I were talking about this 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.240 months and months and months ago on another drive time 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.000 where I said, with the offense that the Dolphins want 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.920 to run, it is getting the ball out quick with 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.000 two It like Ta is at his best when he 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.480 is working the quick game, working r P O S. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.000 If you want to take a shot deep, it's, you know, 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.320 three steps, let it fly down the boundary. So in 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.559 terms of should we take a tackle, should we take 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.560 a receiver? When your offense is getting the ball out 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.040 that quickly anyway and you're taking a lot of three 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.560 step drops, tackle, it's still important, but it's not as 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.000 important as getting guys that can separate within that two 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.360 and a half second window. And you know, it's nice 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.439 to have great protection, but if nobody's getting open and 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.680 under three seconds anyway, who cares? You know? So I 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.640 think the Dolphins made the right pick. It could have 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.559 been Waddle. It could have been DeVante Smith. I didn't 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.720 really care either way because they both do the same 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.400 thing and that's just get open. So I know a 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.880 lot of people maybe wanted Seul, but I think a 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:03.120 package of Jalen water on Liam Eikenberg is vastly preferable 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.520 to a package of Penna Sewell and whatever receiver they 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.640 would have taken in the second round, I think they 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.400 made the right move that fits their offense and most 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.959 importantly makes two a comfortable Absolutely. I think Elijah Moore 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.160 might have been the possible selection in that second round 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:19.600 to fill out that group, but he went off the 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.840 board before Miami could pick it thirty six, so you 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.520 would have kind of missed on that one. Maybe it's 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.600 Rondale Moore. I'm not sure who it might have been, 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.040 but I agree with you that Waddle gives you that 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.880 instant explosion, the instant offense. And do you think he 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.840 can contribute in a big way right away. Oh? Absolutely, 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.480 whether it's special teams, whether it's as a slot receiver, 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.920 and remember he's a very good route runner as well. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.720 He's not just, you know, one of these gimmicky slot 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.240 receivers where we can only get in the ball on screens, like, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.120 he is a legitimately good route runner, so you can 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.880 maybe play him a little bit outside at Z as well. 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.720 We haven't really seen him go up against press coverage before. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.480 I'm not saying he can't do it. We just haven't 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.000 really seen it because Bamma didn't use him that way. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:04.040 But he's got legitimate speed, so we can threaten uh 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.600 down downfield, down the boundary. But I think just putting 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.239 him in the slot, you know, letting him absolutely eviscerate 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.560 people with two way goes inside, I think that's probably 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.280 the best way to use him. And plus from the slot, 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:19.440 it's easier to give him carries, it's easier to give 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.480 him screens, all that kind of stuff. Like his best 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.720 way to generate explosive plays is either in the slot 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.600 or as a return man, and I expect he's going 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.920 to see a lot of action there. I don't think 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.560 I've been that's excited about a Dolphins season since, and 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.280 this is a bad example because they have finished that 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.600 year six and ten. But the two thousand and six season, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.840 we started the year on the Sports Illustrated cover as 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.280 a possible Super Bowl pick with Dante Culpepper. It didn't 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.840 go that way, but that was very exciting time for 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.080 the Dolphins in that summer. I feel similarly this year, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.320 but even better in a sense. So Jalen wall is 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:52.720 a big part of that. If you had to give 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.160 the fans a best tape to go watch of this 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.560 kid to really get excited about him, which game would 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.640 that be. It's hard not to say the Auburn game 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.960 from a few years ago, where you know he was 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.280 the fourth receiver. It was Judy, it was Ruggs, it 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.840 was DeVante Smith, who was the de facto number one, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.160 even though Judy and Ruggs were seen as the high 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.360 end draft prospects. But Jalen Waddle was the wide receiver 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.880 four in that team, and he scored four touchdowns. Pretty 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.760 much every time he touched the ball he scored. It 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.240 was as a return man, as a runner receiver, like 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:27.080 everything just getting him the ball was an explosive play 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.400 waiting to happen. And that is the tape. If you 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.320 only watch one game of Jalen Waddle to understand why 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.360 he went at six overall, watched that game and he 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.160 showed you some of the traits that he's been showing 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:41.040 his entire career Alabama, the sudden, quick stop star ability man. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.120 He's fun to watch, and Brett had referenced a player 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.640 going off the board number eighteen to Miami, who he 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.120 had pegged for the eleventh pick in the draft in 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.720 Jalen Phillips. I've shared the YouTube video many many times 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.120 about who the best pass rush prospect in this year's classes, 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.240 and you compared him to a couple of the Watt brothers, 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.480 Jalen Phillips, this guy's best trade in your estimation, Brett 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:08.360 is it's it's versatility, you know, It's it's the fact 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:12.360 that he has explosiveness, he has power, he has length, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.520 he has fluidity. There's so many pass rushers that come 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.200 out these days where you know they're lighting quick off 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.280 the edge, but they don't have length or power. So 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.440 if they're going up against a really quick footed tackle, 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:24.920 they don't really have a way to to do a 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.840 counter punch and win in another way. You know, the 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.280 Georgia kid coming out this year is a good example 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.960 of that. Caleban Chase on the year before. You know, 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.760 they were really good speed rushers, but they didn't really 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.400 have another club in the bag that they could turn 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.640 to You look at Jalen Phillips and he's got that 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.200 speed around the edge. He has the ability to bend, 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.840 but he also has a wicked inside counter. He's got power, 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.760 he plays the run very very well. He's very instinctive, 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.040 super high motor player. And you look at like his 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.200 relative athletics score like he is a freak athlete. It's 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.800 not quite like a case young type freakiness, but it's 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.679 not that far off either. And the fact that he 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.480 has a very complete physical profile, the fact that he 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.760 can win in multiple ways, that to me is more 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.640 valuable than anything because it means that it's very hard 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.840 to gain plan for him. It's very hard to know 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.480 exactly what he's gonna do on a snap to snap basis. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.600 He can keep tackles on their toes. And I think 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.240 that's why they took him is because this is a 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.320 team that wants to be able to generate pressure in 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.520 more ways than just calling zero. They want to be 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.680 able to rush for if they need to rush for, 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.080 because that's how you you know, it's been proven to 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.800 beat some of the other teams they have to go 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.120 through in the a f C, like Kansas City. You've 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.800 got to be able to win with four. You can't 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.560 just generate pressure with blitz Is And that's why they 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.240 took Jalen Phillips is so that they can now actually 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.960 rush with four and still get to the quarterback. The 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.960 opportunities he could create for Immanuel Ogball on the other 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.000 side or vice versa could be very beneficial. I also 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:55.399 think you kind of see some of that Bret in 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.879 terms of the four man rush, with the shift at 0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.679 the safety possession who we're going to talk about here 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.240 and just one second, and the release of Bobby McCain, 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.560 who had a great career here in Miami. He has 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.160 since moved on, But maybe the Dolphins have more flexibility 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.080 in terms of who's going to be the free safety, 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.159 who's gonna be the box safety, who's gonna rotate and 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.040 blitz and all that fun stuff. But I want to 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.080 come back to this with Jalen Phillips. You know, you 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.159 talked about his athletic traits. He was the number one 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.360 player coming out of high school few years back out 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.200 of the state of California, above Nagy Harris and Cam Akers. 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.560 And you also had a great comment in the video 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.080 bread where you talked about his ability to take information 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.800 throughout the course of the game, find out what the 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.240 tackles are doing to beat him, and then use those 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.960 tendencies against those tackles to beat them later in the game. 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:37.800 Can you talk more about that and just what you 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:40.680 mean by that. Yeah, I mean you saw that in 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.879 uh in the Clemson game. He was going up against 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.280 the Clemson right tackle I think his last name is McFadden, 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:50.280 who's got just a wicked inside punch, really really quick, 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.480 really strong, and it was kind of it was giving 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.320
