WEBVTT - Draft Show: Sifting Scenarios 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:09.760 Is the Dallas Cowboys dot Com Draft Show, your war 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.600 room for incenter news and craft analysis from deep within 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:18.440 the confines of Cowboys Headquarters at the Star in Friscoboys 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:28.400 Smith and now your host, Kyle Yeoman's. It is Thursday, 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.120 February sixteenth, and we are alive from the Star in Frisco, 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:36.159 seventy one days away from the NFL Draft in Kansas City. 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.599 And we are back on the Draft Show presented by 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.880 Miller Lite here from the SWBC studios. We've got Bobby 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.000 Belt back in the building. Guy Brian brought us, of 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.720 course back in the building, and Aisha Morrison back in 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.600 the building. We're all together again in one spot. How's 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.040 everybody doing great? Never better, never better? How is your 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:59.280 super Bowl? Brian? How is my super Bowl? You're good? 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:00.960 You did it? Goes okay, it was okay, you did 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.720 a good job. It was okay. I thought it is 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.520 the grand post. We closed on a strong note, so yeah, 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.480 oh went out on a high note. Yep, yep, tried 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.600 to Yeah, so it didn't suck so bad. Like I 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.480 ain'tle a loud of y'all. Like seeing Philly Lows, I 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.399 was like, you know what off seasons sky a little 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.440 better for me. Oh yeah, in my opinion, makes it 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:23.520 a little bit easier. We didn't hurt as bad. I 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.360 was trying to buy souvenirs without any Kansas City or 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.679 Philly logos on it, and that's a hard task to 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.600 have to do it a super Bowl they didn't have, 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:36.959 just like Generics they did. I went out, had to buy, 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.479 had to buy, had to go to the Aaron Andrews line. Okay, 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.040 this was a gift for a lady there, and so 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:45.360 it was like I had to go to the Aaron 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.600 Andrews route where she puts out Super Bowl clothing without 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.240 logos on it. I found there was one shirt I 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.400 saw on the gift shop at the Arizona Airport that 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:57.160 was just said super Bowl. Yeah, that just said XCEL whatever, 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.720 x L V I. I are you good with all 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.640 those Roman numerous Man, I wasn't ntil super Bowl forty. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.960 And then you started going like, Okay, why isn't so 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.600 it's XL it's ten minus fifty, And then I started 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.839 getting all messed up, and he gets really weird because yeah, 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.079 whenever he went to forty it was XL. And then 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.200 you've got to you just got an L now, so 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.919 it's just lv II, got it. Yeah, very interesting. We're 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.239 gonna talk some draft stuff, of course being on the 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.720 Draft Show, but we're gonna really hit some scenarios for 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.000 the Cowboys in this show. I love that segment number three, 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.200 we're gonna go through scenarios of first and second round 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:36.040 potentials and I ran through six different simulations and we're 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.680 gonna choose which one we feel like fits the best, 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.919 and you can ask questions if you wanted to switch 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.520 a prospect out, you could maybe if he was available, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:44.840 and we can kind of talk about it when we 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.919 get there. But I want to start by something that 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.720 Brian Dane and I talked about yesterday, and that was 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:56.280 really prioritizing picks and how you can shuffle your board 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.560 around whenever those picks are available based on value in 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.040 the draft and where you can find that value. I 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.679 want to talk about how free agency can kind of 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.040 affect that, Brian, because we said yesterday you don't want 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:10.880 to window dress your board, right, but you also don't 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.480 want to ignore value where the draft is coming to you, right. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.080 How does that change whenever you go and get some 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.040 guys to plug some of these holes in free agency 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.040 early on. I think the team that you know, there's 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.000 some teams that are super aggressive early in free agency. 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.840 The first two three days you can kind of fill 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.400 a little bit of what you know, maybe it prevents 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.600 you from having to go out and use draft picks. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.360 You say, Okay, we're going to spend money on this 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.840 particular position because we feel like this other position is 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.400 pretty weak. You know, you could kind of or maybe 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.600 it's like, listen, we just can't get a guy in 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.360 the draft that's going to be as good for us here. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.480 So yeah, I think that you have to be very 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.520 mindful of that. The team like the Cowboys that tends 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.520 to kind of let the first week of the draft 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.720 go and then they bottom fish at that point. I 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.080 don't mean bottom fish in a bad I mean that 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.720 they kind of like let the market kind of run 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.880 its course and then they go in and grab particular 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.880 players the way they grab Curse and guys like that. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.520 And so then you know, but there's certain teams out 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.640 there that absolutely love to draft. I mean, they just 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.760 love to draft. They free agency. Yeah, you pointed at 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.920 this one issue finger went straight down to the and 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.719 she's absolutely right at this No, no, but that's what 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.720 I'm saying. I think there's some teams that are just 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.520 totally comfortable. If you're a bad drafting team, you probably 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.039 have to play in free agency. But if you're a 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.600 team that kind of has a handle on that. And 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.520 I was talking with some guys this morning about compensatory picks, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.360 the possibly of getting a next or four, a five, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.359 and a six here. You know that, man, that's that's 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.599 that's heaven for these guys. They love it. Give them 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.479 two fourth round picks, give them two fifth round picks, 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.680 give them two sixth round picks. They will make some hay, 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:59.240 you know. I mean we always talk, well, they're not 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.200 going to take all the picks. No, these cats here 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.040 will draft and and they're done at the last two 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.440 and they'll keep every single one of them too, is 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.960 what they'll do. So, you know, if you're a bad 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.839 drafting team. We were poor in the early two thousands. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.760 We couldn't get the combinations between free agency and the 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.520 draft right. And what happened when when that, When that happened, 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.680 we just had to go all in on free agency 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.479 and that and that can hurt you. That can hurt you. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.720 And so but these guys are very cap mindful of 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.200 where they're at. They've got a lot of you know, 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.960 they've got some flipping of switches. I know Bobby covers 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.920 this team from one oh five three the fan, He'll 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.279 tell you there's gonna be switches that they have to flip. 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.000 They have to do this that to create money. I 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.920 think this team is more into drafting and signing their 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.480 own than going out and getting other players. I think, yeah, 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.880 I think generally that's that's the way they like to 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.560 approach it now. Jerry talking and at Senior Bowls sounded 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.120 more open to doing some things in free agency. And 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.920 I think it's probably be Odell Beckham. Well, yeah, Odell, 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.320 maybe that's part of it. Yeah, that name Will. That's 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.680 the new Earl Thomas. And so you know, I think 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.240 that the way Jerry talked at Senior Bowls sounded like 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.680 he's taking notice of Okay, like you know, you take 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.640 Philly and how they performed and the aggressive moves they made, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.159 you take the aggressive moves that a team like the 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.160 Rams were last year made, and just to go through 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.880 outside like the Buccaneers, like go back through history I 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.880 had I've got I keep meaning to go look this 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.159 up again. Because it's relevant, I think, but it was. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.719 I believe each of the last ten years, the team 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.520 that won the Super Bowl the previous offseason spent more 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:43.080 guaranteed money on an outside free agent than the Cowboys 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.440 spent that same offseason and guaranteed money on their whole 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.880 free agent class. And so, like I mean, you talk about, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.120 for example, when they went out the most they've splurged 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.800 was like twenty twenty, I think they gave out thirty 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.839 six million guaranteed outside free agents. Well, the Buccaneers that 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.119 you're acquired Tom Brady and he was more than thirty 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.719 six million guarantee that he made. Same thing. You go 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.200 back through the years, you know, one offseason it was like, well, 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.200 when the Patriots won, Durrell Reevs got more guaranteed money 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.400 from the Patriots then Dallas's whole outside free agent class. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.480 So not including the resigns and the guys you're keeping 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:13.960 on your own. So I think eventually you have to 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.640 look at that and go like, Okay, maybe there's a 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.920 happy medium, maybe we don't have to go this way, 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.160 but but you do got to feel like there's got 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.560 to be some sort of an evolution. I think at 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.160 some point but I you know, to me, when you 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.600 start to look at what happened and I saw this 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.400 and correct me if I'm wrong. Cowboys I think were 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.480 second in the league in games played by their rookies. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.080 I think Kansas City was number one and Dallas was 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.040 number two. I don't know if that's the set that's 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.680 I mean, that sounds right. They need but see that's 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.400 what that's what they do, that's what they're that's their 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.560 whole mindset right there. Like they as long as they 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.200 keep drafting, well, I don't see this philosophy changing as 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.000 far as free agency feels like so much pressure you 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.600 put on your personality. But they but will lives for that, 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.680 and it really does, and it appts resolutely. Like I mean, 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.520 if that's something that they like and they enjoy that 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.160 person and they like that, that's great. But it's like 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.760 help him out a little, you know, you know, like 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.800 like like Jaylen Tilbert for example. I mean Jaylen Tilbert 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.760 was drafted as a guy they expected in a third 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.040 round scenario to come in and play immediately. I would 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.760 have taken him in the second yeah, I mean yeah, 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.960 but he didn't work out. And what happened. You were 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.240 kind of hamstrung that wide receiver for a good part 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:22.240 of the year and you had to go get a 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.000 guy like t Y Hilton. That's a move you had 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.200 to make. Well to me, I mean, I'm looking at you. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.600 You mentioned like, can a guy come in that's a 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.880 free agent that's going to be better than any rookie 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.120 that you draft? And so when you do look at 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.800 a guy like we talked about DT and how important 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.200 has been for your linebackers and stuff, is there any 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.400 DT in this draft? I don't know that's going to 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.640 come in and immediately be better than to Ron Payne 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.199 or she just hit the new Hargraves Is Hargraves is 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.240 also a guy that's a free agent, Like, are there 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.080 any of those gentlemen that are going to be better 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:53.319 right away? Because that's the problem. I love that the 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.560 Cowboys draft and developed well. I mean, I mean we 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.160 just we see also dig Zua coming along, like I 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.840 just I love Chauncey gold and like I like that 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.360 these guys come along and stuff. But it takes some 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.880 time to put on weight, takes some time to understand 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.719 the position and how to play it at a high level. 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.559 So then you get you I think you're waiting like 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.720 a couple of years, maybe a year for this guy 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.000 to get this position, and the other parts of your 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.520 team are ready to win now. So I I think, like, 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.080 like Bobby said, like you're gonna have to make the 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.200 decision depending on the position, Like, is this gonna help 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.120 us win right now? Is this like? Especially like for me, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:28.920 I think DT is such a huge thing because it 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.000 just it changed your run defense, It changed your linebackers 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.280 that need to be free. It just really opened up everything. 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.920 I'm sitting here like, is there any guy that you 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.559 can draft right now that's gonna come in and immediately 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.400 make an impact on your defense that's gonna do it 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.480 like that? I don't know yet. I think the position 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.560 that you could draft it would make a difference at 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:52.640 twenty six, is corner Okay? Tackles really? Yeah? I think so. 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.920 I think the corners now. I love what you're saying 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.240 about the defensive tackles because I'm one to five three 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.280 the fan. Yesterday I was talking about if you gave 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:03.440 me a scenario where I could go and get a 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.400 defensive tackle and pain. If we said you're pushing the 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.240 chips in and you're going to get durn Pain. I'm 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.640 totally about that. I think if you know what we're 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.920 talking about, Digs, the wide receiver at Buffalo. If you know, 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.440 if all of a sudden, I mean, you're starting to 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.280 hear whispers about, well, maybe they might move on from 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:23.000 him by all means twenty six, take twenty six, and 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.560 you can, you know, give me Digs that kind of thing. 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.400 I'm all about that. But those are but you're right 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.880 about You're right about players that you know. That's that's 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.720 the thing that a lot of these teams looking like 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:38.240 this guy's already established. This is an established player, you know, 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.920 but the Cowboys feel like, hey, we can draft, we 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.160 can deal. They've done that. Look what they did. They 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.319 redrafted this thing. And Tyler Smith was what the eighth 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.120 pick in the draft on a redraft and we're all 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.040 sitting here talking about him at what twenty seven, you know, 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.800 and the league's now going, wait a minute, this was 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.520 the eighth best player on the board. Yeah, I think 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.760 I think I would keep drafting. No, I just think 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.360 I keep drafting too well. No, And I but why 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.640 not supplement though, Like why not have them draft like that? 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.080 And then also add you can do both It's not 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.680 like you're limited just because you're choosing to draft. Don't 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.800 disagree with you, guys, But sitting up with these cats, oh, 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.200 I know that's what they do. Not they don't feel 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.400 like that they have to do that. Yeah, how can 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.840 you not? Though? How can you not when you see 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.160 like and we talked about we just talked about on 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.600 Girls Talk, Boys Talk Listen, man, like these young players, 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.839 you're young stars that you want to resign. Yeah, they're 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:35.440 talking out loud. They're talking out loud, micah CD, Trey Von. 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.600 They're talking of they are they want to win, and 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.840 so they're talking about bringing people in and adding talent 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.240 and stuff because they see across the league that you 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.000 have to be able to draft well and supplement it. 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.600 Like Bobby said, but you mentioned dB, though I listen, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.600 has Israel mquamu and darm Blend have they made dB 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.640 a little I think Izzy might have made things a 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.319 little weird. I think you might have to go get 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.360 a safety, like not mosting the year already moving him 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.520 over permanent. I mean you might have to get a 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.320 safety for a number of reasons. Donovan Wilson's a free agent. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.360 Malie Cooker is a potential cap savings. Mcamo can play corner. 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.960 I don't think she's wrong. No, Rather, at corner, mcuamo 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.920 was better at corner throughout training camp than from Texas 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.800 A and m would do my heart pretty good. He'd 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.280 have to get him in the first round, though. Are 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.000 you okay spending twenty six I know, I don't know, 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.480 but I'm just wondering if it's changed to the urgency 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:33.320 to to to to go get corner early because you 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.520 obviously I think obviously easy came along and I think 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.680 they're going to see that. But Jordan Lewis is he's 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.160 still on contract. Run. Yeah, he's still on contract, so 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.600 he's going to be a slot guy. Dron Bland is here, 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.000 and then you got Israel mcquamo, who obviously show flashes 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.240 at corner. Has that changed the urgency If you wanted 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.679 to get a corner in the first round possibly or 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:55.439 second round, I think you need to do it. I'm 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.679 asking you, guys. No, no, I think you're right. But 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.200 I'll tell you what I would think of it. As 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.000 a bigger picture thing. It might be for Diggs that 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.880 that they if they picked a corner in the first round. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.400 I would think that's more indicative of we need to 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.040 protect ourselves on Trayvon, I think this is more about 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.040 Digs than a Yeah. If I were to look into 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.160 a crystal ball and try and project out what's going 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:15.880 to happen over the next thirteen months from now, I 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.199 think we're thirteen months from now, Trayvon Diggs has the 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.080 franchise tag on him. I agree, I say that, I 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.640 just don't. I just don't think it's gonna get done 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.280 this office. If you told me which is going to 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.960 be the easier, and I asked this again the on 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.280 the question yesterday on the on the break, which is 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.160 going to be the easier negotiations between Diggs and Lamb, Yep, 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.600 give me Lamb everything. It's gonna be Lamb this guy 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:41.319 because because Diggs, Diggs is literally gonna dig in. I mean, 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.720 he thinks he's one of the best corners in the NFL. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:45.840 And I think that I think that, you know what, 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.560 and he's got he's got a good argument, he really does. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.080 But but this this crew, let this let this crew. 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.040 Let Byron Jones walk yep and Byron Judge round picked. Yeah. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.120 Byron Jones was having a good It was having a 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.839 good season for them. You could argue they proved correct 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.960 that one. I mean he's something right, I mean he's 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.040 he's been solid, but he has not been what he was. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.360 But that's what that's the whole idea here. If this 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.280 Digs thing turns contentious, then you know, and hell I 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.920 want him to sign Dicks. I absolutely do. But if 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.360 it turns bad, that you know, and and it's like, okay, 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.200 we're just gonna move on. I think it's not so 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.400 much about the guy playing opposite Digs. I think it's 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.000 about the guy that all of a sudden Bland Mukuamu 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:32.160 and whoever plug in, whoever you want uh Banks from 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.280 Maryland or whoever you want to plug in, could be 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.400 the guy that all of a sudden that steps in 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.280 and they said, no, we're just gonna move on. The 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.880 ease of the Digs or the ease of the Lamb 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.600 negotiation is going to be it's you you can. I 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.600 don't think that's gonna be easy either. No, I think 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.040 it is like in terms of I think I think 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.400 that one gets done this offseason, okay, and because I 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.200 think the framework is there easily. Tory Dandy, who represents CD, 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.240 has represented a couple of the other top receivers. He'd 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.520 represented one of the most recent deals that got on debo, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.800 and so it's easy to work off that framework and say, okay, 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.840 we've got this contract here that debo signed. Uh, you know, 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.160 calculating for the inflation of the cap that would mean 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.240 that CD would be do this, and it gives them 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.960 a much easier base to work around with DIGS. It's like, well, 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.040 some people think he's j. C. Jackson, some people think 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.160 he's Jayar Alexander, and it's like, where's the difference and 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.400 jac Jackson, j C. Jackson and jay Ere Alexander are 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.040 five million apart on their average as salary. Yeah. Yeah, 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.120 And so that's a harder in the middle ground with that. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.000 You're gonna have to find where you agree. Also, not 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.560 to mention, Micah Parsons is coming up next year in 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.520 that start of the conversation and moving into that too. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.600 So not only are you having to talk about these 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.280 two guys going into contract years, but then Micah Parsons 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.760 is going to come up in seasons as well. You 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.320 do have that fifth year you do have with CD, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.920 and with CD both and and what we've seen with 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.640 the Cowboys and listen, Hey, I respect all those guys 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.640 and gals upstairs at work on these contracts, but they've 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:58.600 also waited on contracts. Yea, they have waited on some 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.800 contin Stephens said that. Stephen said his biggest regret and 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.720 reseingers was we should have got Dacked done earlier. So 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.200 they know I had people screaming at me. You could 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.120 have had this thing done for twenty three years ago. 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.240 You get this thing done for twenty eight you know, 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.360 I'm like, okay, okay, I mean you know, I'm just 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.920 a guy talking about it here. So going back to 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.800 kind of the stem of this conversation, corner, No, it's 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.560 not your bad, that's actually really good. Sing. Yeah. Corner 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.840 is something where like you said, you could go and 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.920 get a guy in the first round or second round 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.480 and you could plug and play and he's gonna he's 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.040 gonna improve a football team. Is there any other receiver 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.720 or any other hum I just gave away my thought process. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.160 Is there any other position offensive line in the draft 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.160 that you could do that? Yeah? The Cowboys have proven 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.400 this as well. Any offensive lineman that they draft in 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.040 the first round, isn't they think it's much. It's a 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.640 lot it is. It's it's like when we always talk 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.440 about this, who is the safest player in the draft. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.320 You know, we were talking with danis or about Sanders. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.800 I asked Dane about Sanders, the linebacker from Arkansas. Not 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.920 a safe, clean, nothing wrong with him. Man, He's just 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.240 plug and play. You know. That's that's what Cowboys do 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.639 with these offensive lineman they did. They drafted as Tyler 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.840 Smith that what did they do? They forced, They forced 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.800 to Taco Charlton pick. They forced a couple of these 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.879 picks and what happened. It didn't work. But they just 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.560 naturally say, well, Tyler Smith's up there. We kind of 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.800 like him, you know, we're okay with him. Yeah, we 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.399 like you know, boom, make the pick. Guy starts at 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.879 left tackle, and now he's the eight you know redraft, 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.400 he's the eighth best player on the board. Yeah, this 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:33.679 team has a knack, an ability, whatever you want to 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:38.360 call it, a just a will to draft offensive line 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.480 in the first round and have him work. That's a 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:42.960 if they took a first round lineman in this draft, 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:44.800 I would I would just pencil that in. Is up, 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.320 guy's gonna plug and play. If it's a guard, listen, 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.600 to me, I'm having problems with a guard. I don't 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.760 know about yours. Yeah, I know they're all stressing me out, 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.800 the little stress. I don't think it's a good class. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:57.440 I mean, if you're talking about that top head, well, wait, 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.000 where do you have Scroonsky? Do you have him as 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.120 a guard? Tackle? Well, tackle tackle, I've must tackle him. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.320 Dane's got him as a guard. Yeah, And because the's 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.240 a little bit of a shorter arm guy, it's what 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.760 the will get, you know, when the combine rolls. It 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:13.480 was it was another Northwestern typle by the way later Yeah, 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.159 oh man, that's my guy. No, no, but that the 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.600 I think the I mean, if you're talking about guards, 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:21.560 the only one you're talking about in the top fifty 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.120 right now realistically would be Torrens on it. Yeah, drop 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.440 off from Osiris Torrens. Then you get into the Avlas 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:32.719 from TCU. And I mentioned him last because he's you 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.960 know how they like hometown people, you know how they 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.119 like people close to the house. I mean Tyler Smith 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:41.560 was technically hometown for it also helps. It also helps, yeah, 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.359 because they get a closer look at those guys than 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.560 they do some guys who are not from they do that. 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.359 It's money. They pick offensive lineman and the especially in 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.680 the bottom of that first round, they go back, Travis Frederick, 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.199 go back. They figure it out. Yeah, they got they 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.080 got a good they got a really good handle on this. 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.359 But that could also just be honestly too, when you 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.800 start looking at this US Coast offense, Solari just kind 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:03.320 of how they like to run the ball, Dude, like 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.520
