WEBVTT - Bucky’s Top Five Draft Prospects by Position 

0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:06.479
<v Speaker 1>And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks. DJ, Buck

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>with you Buck. We are we're closing in.

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Dude, I mean we hear DJ.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 3>The conversations and stuff are coming fast and furious. Uh

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 3>is lying season, so you're trying to kind of figure

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 3>out what's real and what's fade. But it's an exciting

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 3>time because we got less than a week. Well, we

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 3>got a week before the draft, and we'll kind of

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 3>have all of it put to bed soon.

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>In we've got we've got a bunch of ground of

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>cover day, We've got Bucks Top five, so we're gonna

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>jump into that. But before we get there, let's kick

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>things off here. It's time for Hot or Not, brought

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>to you by with Sabby Hot Cloud Storage. You mentioned

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of the the rumors and the information that's floating around.

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I joked that during this time of the year, I

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>start my day every day with a cup of coffee

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>and three lives. You know, like what you're hearing from teams, like,

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that's that's kind of where we are. But uh, you know,

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>but to me, it is interesting, you know, making phone

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>calls around the league, and you know, the main conversation

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that I have with teams is who's going to be

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>there when we pick, Like that's that's all they want

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to know. That's what they're looking to get from us

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>during this time of the year. And then in return,

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>like I get some you know, medical character stuff on

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>guys that could fall could drops, which is helpful as

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>we get towards the draft, and you kind of get

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>a sense of teams that are picking in different areas

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 1>of the draft, where they think guys outside of their

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>range are going, and how they have them stacked, how

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>their coaches viewed them. And one one, I don't say

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 1>it's a rumor. I think it's a fact. Buck in

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>talking to teams. It's somewhat like this in years where

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>teams have quarterbacks that those teams tend to kind of

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>pooh pooh the class. But man, I don't remember it

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>like this, Like there's a lot of teams out there

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>who think cam Ward is the only first round quarterback.

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Like there's a lot of teams and those aren't the

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>quarterback teams. So take them for what it is.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>So let's let's be real because I think sometimes DJ

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 3>we've been doing the media part of it for so

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 3>long that sometimes it's easy when we're on TV to

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 3>get away from the true ideals and the true values

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 3>that we have as scouts. And I'll be honest when

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 3>I go through and I look at my grades on

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.519
<v Speaker 3>cam Ward Shoulder all those guys, what that would rate

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>in a in a draft meeting room. Bottom of the

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 3>first round grades, That's what it would be. Now, we've

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 3>talked about in recent years, like guys get pushed up whatever,

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 3>which is more of a media thing or whatever. But

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 3>if your team in need of a quarterback and cam

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Ward is the best quarterback on your board, you have

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 3>to take him whenever you're picking.

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 2>That's just what it is. But in terms of how.

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 3>These guys stack up, how they stack up traditionally over

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 3>those guys, I'm gonna say it.

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe anybody in this class is a transcendent quarterback.

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 3>There's no one that I would have that would that

0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 3>I would suggest has the wild factor that the elite

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 3>of the elite quarterback prospects that we've drafted half.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>That's just a fact.

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 3>But every year is a year that you have to evaluate,

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>and these are the quarterbacks in this class. And so

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 3>you have to figure out who's the best of the class.

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 3>And if I need one and I haven't gotten one

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 3>in free agency, I got to take one, and I

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 3>got to make it. I got to make the best

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 3>out of what I get, meaning I get them, I

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 3>got to surround them with the other stuff to allow

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 3>him to be successful.

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 2>And that's just how it goes.

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, like I wouldn't say that this is a

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 3>class that they hail like the nineteen eighty three class

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 3>with you know, Jim Kelly and Elwick.

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>It's not a class. So that's that's what it is.

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And though in regards to that the sentiment we're

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a little over week out, this is the where we are.

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>This is everybody that I've talked to, and kind of

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>looking at the situation, I would feel comfortable saying this.

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe that cam Ward at this point in time,

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>is the only quarterback who will be a team's first

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>pick in this draft, if that makes sense. In other words, Jackson,

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>dart Shade, or Sanders I think will be a team

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>second pick. Now that doesn't mean they don't go in

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 1>the first round. They could easily teams come back up

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and take them. But they're gonna hold up the jersey

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and have the press conference with another player first, and

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>then they're gonna introduce the quarterback they took with their

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>next pick. Like, that's that's where it looks now a

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>week out. If that, if that, if you're if you're

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 1>tracking with me there.

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm tracking with you because I think here's the other thing.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 3>And I'm gonna ask you this, DJ, who are the

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 3>elites in the draft?

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 3>How many guys do you think are the elite prospects

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 3>in this draft class? I said they were five, but

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>I said they were five and in whatever order you

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 3>want to list them. I had Travis Hunter, Abdua Carter,

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 3>I think Aston Genty is there, Tyler Warren, and then

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 3>I put Jalen Walker.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Now, and I had Love the only one I had

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>in that mix with Love one I had.

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So that's six. So so that's that's a reasonable expectation.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 3>So just think about it. In most years we talked

0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 3>about eight maybe ten being elite. We talked about eighteen

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 3>to twenty two first rounders. What that says is this

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 3>is a draft that doesn't have like a's and a plus.

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 3>It's more of an anus Beef's draft and depending upon

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 3>what you need and how it fits. That's how it

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 3>works when it comes to the quarterbacks. If we were

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 3>doing the vertical board where we're ranking them, so your

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 3>top fifty is what we would call a vertical board

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 3>where you draft, you just ranking them from one to

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 3>fifty based on grade, not worrying about position. Where those

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 3>guys listed. Where's kemboard listed on your board?

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey like, well, to me when this draft, he's like

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>my eighth or ninth guy. But I mean he, I mean,

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>that's what this draft say. He's got the same grade.

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>He's got the same grade. Like to me, if I'm

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>pulling up, pulled up right now, so like full transparency,

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.559
<v Speaker 1>he was, I think I gave him a sixty four. Yeah,

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>so I gave him a sixty four. And then I

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>have like put it in perspective, Quinn Shawn Judkins. This

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>is how like this is the this is the kind

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 1>of the parody of the draft. Quinn Shawn Judkins. I

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>gave a sixty four as a running back. Quin Shawn

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Judkins is my thirty eighth player.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:12.159
<v Speaker 2>So that's what it is.

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>So to me, like that, to me, it's not like

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm not elevating him over higher rated players. I'm saying,

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>all of these players in this clump are all graded

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>with the same grade, which is just like solid starters

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:25.799
<v Speaker 1>solid starters.

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>And so what that does is we talked about beauty

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 3>being the eye of the beholder, and so you talked

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 3>about guys saying, hey, they are the second guy. They're

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 3>not the first person that you can present out with

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 3>the jersey. They're the compliment to hey, we took this guy.

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh and were there? Yeah. So, but but that's what

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>it is.

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 3>And for me, Look, I had in my notebook, I

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 3>had the same grade Camboard Shoulder Sandus.

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I just have him flipped.

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 3>And the only reason I have flipped because the controversy

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 3>in my top five is like shoulder over cam Ward.

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 3>And the only reason why shoulder standards carries that that

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.720
<v Speaker 3>grade is I just have these voices of these quarterback

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 3>coaches in my ear that have said for years the

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 3>only two things I care about when it comes to

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 3>quarterback play accuracy.

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 2>And decision making.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 3>And so when I look at it, I'm like, well, man,

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 3>he's the most accurate, and his decision making on time

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 3>is look excellent. And then when you throw toughness in

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Okay, I can rock with him or whatever. Now,

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 3>the draft part of it is a beauty patch where

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 3>you want all the other things. But in terms of playing,

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 3>I think he plays it in a professional manner that

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 3>has worked it for years and years on end, which

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 3>is why he's first. And we'll see what it plays out.

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 3>But that's just why I have should.

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Do her first.

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Cam Ward has superior traits and tools when it comes

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 3>to arm tell and whatever. But I'm gonna lie dj.

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 3>He scares me sometimes with the lucy goosey stuff, like

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>he's so loosey goosey that I'm like, man like, can

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 3>he rein it together? So that's the difference is that's

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 3>where it is. But when we talk about the draft

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 3>and landing spots, Shader saying this could be in.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>For a long day. If cam Ward goes one.

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 3>If the Giants take best player available at three, the

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Saints take best.

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Player available at nine, there is a long drop.

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 3>Then you have the Pittsburgh still is at twenty one

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 3>where they go back and do the quarterback thing again.

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 3>When they did Kenny Pickett at twenty a couple of

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 3>years ago and it didn't work. Out, so you move

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 3>them there. The la Rams are at twenty six. Do

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 3>they want to take a quarterback of the future with

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Matthew Stafford. If they don't, DJ, that's the end of

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:29.559
<v Speaker 3>the first round.

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 2>YEP.

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.839
<v Speaker 3>So I mean that's just what it is. So we

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 3>named Giants are won Saints. Still, there's four landing spots.

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 3>All the stuff that we talked about the first round.

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 3>There are four landing spots for quarterbacks. And when we

0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 3>talk about the landing spots, the spot has to match

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.319
<v Speaker 3>up with the talent and the grade. And if the

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.839
<v Speaker 3>spot is here and the talent is down here, you're

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 3>not pulling the trigger because now you're going against all

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 3>the philosophies and theories that you had in the draft room.

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 3>So that is the dilemma when it comes to Shador

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Sanders in company in this draft.

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 1>To me, totally honest, this feels exactly like and they're

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 1>different players. I'm not comparing them as players. This feels

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly like with should the right the week before the

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Will Levis draft, where Will Levis was if you remember

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>it was Colts who were four I believe they were.

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 1>They were supposed to be the Levis team so if

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>not Colts, you couldn't you couldn't connect him to anybody else.

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>So it was like it sounds weird to say this

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>guy is going to go four. He could fall out

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>of the first round. And that's like the Giants with Shadur.

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>The Giants are the last to me almost like the

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of the last hope there and if they don't

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>do it, I don't know where he goes.

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Man there's not a spot.

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 3>There's not a spot, And I love him and his dad,

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 3>but part of it is being real. There's not a

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 3>spot because it's not only the grade is who's available.

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 3>It's like catching a cab in New York. The light

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 3>has to be on. There are a lot of people

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.960
<v Speaker 3>that are buzzing around Manhattan, but the light's not on,

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:14.959
<v Speaker 3>and so if the light's that on, you're not going.

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 3>And you can hope that someone wants to move into

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 3>the bottom of the first round and all that stuff,

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 3>but DJ is still the top of the second round

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 3>looks like the first round.

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Who is going to move in?

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 3>There's a the limit And the thing that I hate

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 3>because like this is what we do, particularly on our side,

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 3>and because it impacts the people. The draft picks and

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 3>their families. We'll talk these guys up like, hey, you know,

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Jackson Dark could go and maybe but maybe not. And

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't want people to get caught up because we

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 3>did this years ago with Malik Willis and that class,

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 3>and we tried to put all these guys in the

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 3>first round. And when draft they came, the league was like, yeah, no,

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 3>we're not we don't see them as that. We don't

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 3>see because Kenny Pickett was the Melik Willis draft right, Ah, yeah, yeah,

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 3>he was the only one. And they were like, yeah,

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 3>we don't see them as that. And I think Desmond

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Ridder was.

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:05.439
<v Speaker 2>In that class too.

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 3>So now when we go to it and Desmon Ridder

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 3>gets his chance and all this other stuff like, it

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 3>doesn't end up working out because the talent is the

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 3>talent and ultimately you have to create the talent because

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 3>that's how it turned That's how it turns out. And

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 3>that's also why we're having this thing little sneak peak.

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 3>On the path to the draft, we're talking about, hey,

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.559
<v Speaker 3>is it worth taking a quarterback in the second round?

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 2>And my thing was how many of those guys have

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>worked out?

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it sounds great when we're theorizing like, oh, you know,

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 3>we can go and get this guy in the second round. DJ,

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 3>it's a first round quarterback league. The guys that play

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 3>quarterback in this league are first rounders. That's what it is.

0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Brock Freddy is an outlier. Jalen Hurst, Dak Prescott,

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 3>they're outliers.

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 2>They're not the norm.

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.839
<v Speaker 3>This league is a first round quarterback lead because when

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 3>we great quarterbacks first round grade, they check off enough

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 3>boxes when it comes to the redeeming qualities to play

0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:06.959
<v Speaker 3>the position at a high.

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Level in the pros.

0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 3>And if you don't have those skills to I suggest

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 3>that you're not going to play quarterback at a high level.

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:14.679
<v Speaker 2>That's just what it is.

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, it'd be interesting to go back and look

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>at those guys who have been successful, non first round picks.

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Most of them were afforded some patients right, didn't come

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>in with fanfare. Had another quarterback there. I think a

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts is a great example, Like he didn't have

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to step right in, you know, like that was kind

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 1>of a process. Carson Wentz. Thing kind of happened and

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and then he you know, off he goes. But there's

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>there's less pressure with those guys, and you're you to me,

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>like if we're talking about you're taking a quarterback in

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the second round and you're hoping he's going to be

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>your answer like in the near future, Like to me,

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 1>that's and when you're talking about a coaches on hot

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 1>seats need a guy to come in and play right away,

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>then you either take one in the first round, or

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>you probably should wait. You know that's you should wait.

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Ye time. If you got time and you're the Eagles,

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>you can take a flyer on Jalen Hurts. It might

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 1>hit it, you know.

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.680
<v Speaker 3>But also they come in with less expectations. They also

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 3>come in on a different plan in the building. So

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 3>the plan in the building for Jalen Hurts when he

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 3>stepped into Eagles wasn't to get him ready to start.

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 3>It was simply to make him a better play. And

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 3>then you look up on the practice field and then

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 3>you and I on the side like, hey, you know what, Hey,

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Jalen Chance looks pretty good. He's kind of given the

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 3>defense some work, Like, oh, maybe it surprises us that

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 3>he developed the way that he developed, But it wasn't

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 3>the expectation that he was going to come in and

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 3>those expectations drive everything inside and outside, because if you

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 3>take him and they're saying, oh, we got to get

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 3>him ready to play, well, now the fans are like, hey,

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 3>we got to get the second round pick on the field,

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 3>and you're like, we.

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Took him in the second round pick.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because he's a developmental guy, not because he's a

0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 3>finished product. So the expectations and all that other stuff

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.079
<v Speaker 3>it can get, it can get out of whack if

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 3>you take someone at the wrong position.

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no doubt. All right, Well, there's a little idea

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of kind of what's cooking on the on the hot

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.720

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to know your toughest decision in these positions,

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 1>so I will give you the floor. Is this your

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>final Is this the final addition?

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know it's the final edition until I wait

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 3>the day befront of drivers, say hey, can I put

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 3>one more up there? To make sure I get it right, Look,

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 3>we had the toughest conversation. So the toughest conversation for

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 3>me is one DJ These things run a typical to how.

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 2>We operate in the real world, right, the real scouting world.

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 3>We're not going to continue to keep doing these updates

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 3>on updates on updates when it comes to rankings because

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 3>there aren't any more games to watch, there's no more

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 3>film to so like, what are we doing but to

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 3>play along? For this, the toughest thing for me was

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 3>one standing firm with the quarterback. Which look, I'm the

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 3>outlier in the situation putting Travis Hunter in at wide

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 3>receiver officially because my heart of hearts, I believe that

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 3>he is better served to be a dB. But I've

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 3>come around to the fact that a he wants to

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 3>play wide receiver, and two when I rate him as

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 3>a wide receiver compared to the other guys, he's the

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 3>most intriguing prospect because of what he brings to the table.

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 3>So that part is everything. And the more I listen

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 3>to him tomorrow fall in love with like how committed

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 3>he is to the game. Like I heard you say

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 3>on TV yesterday, Man, you just love him. The more

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 3>that you hear him talk. He's all about the right stuff,

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 3>which is why I'm a big believer. Moving Mason Graham

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 3>up to that third spot and saying that he could

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 3>be the third tied end to go in the first.

0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Round to me, taylorson Taylor, Mason Taylor.

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Mason Taylor. Moving him up to the third spot.

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 3>To me, he's intriguing because I gave him the look

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 3>over and I was like, man, he's really good. But

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 3>now I'm like, okay, at the bottom of the first round,

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of stuff there. I think he's a

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.840
<v Speaker 3>really safe bet to be really productive, and there's some

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 3>teams that are gonna be in need of a tight

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 3>end in the twenties, so he fits so early on

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 3>on offense.

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Those are the biggest debate that I had.

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And you know, it's funny. I was talking to

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>a team. I'm talking to two teams, and we were

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about who's your, who's your? We got wiped out?

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Pick You've been in there, you know how that is.

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like, hey, you know, gosh, we're hoping we get

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>two of these guys, but like, man, if we get

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>wiped out, like all the guys that we had up

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>there and they're gone, Like you know who the two

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>guys are that to me make the most sense, as like, Okay,

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>we got cleaned out, so I'm comfortable taking this guy,

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Mason Taylor this one double off the wall every day

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>of the week, and tray Von Henderson's the other one.

0:16:54.840 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh good character, production, intelligence, all that stuff, like both

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean and Treyvon Henderson. You might even both these

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.160
<v Speaker 1>guys you could hit big. I trust me. I've seen

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Ed Reid was viewed as a double and he's get

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:13.399
<v Speaker 1>it right again. So I've seen those guys be more

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 1>than that. But to me, like high floor guys, I

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 1>think like Mason Taylor Trayvon Henderson, like, hey, we got

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>wiped out, you can do a lot worse. Those guys

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 1>are gonna start for you and be impact players.

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 2>And I'm with you on that.

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 3>And there's something too that when we're going through the

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 3>process and making sure that we have the right guys

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 3>and doing those things like.

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 2>That's a part of it. DJ.

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.119
<v Speaker 3>One of the conversations that I've had is I'm on

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 3>membun like coming out of the combine looking at the

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 3>tabe like just fell in love with him.

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 2>But I don't get that same sentiment.

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 3>And when I talk to people in the league, I

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.399
<v Speaker 3>don't get the same sentiment that he is viewed maybe

0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.880
<v Speaker 3>with the same adoration that we that I may have

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:55.359
<v Speaker 3>on this side or whatever. And it's funny because when

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 3>you look at someone three hundred and thirty pounds run

0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 3>what he runs at the combine and you look at

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.160
<v Speaker 3>the tape and he's moving, he's his zone buster all day.

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 3>He can do all those things.

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot to like. But man, the feedback I get.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 3>From some of my buddies, they're like, I don't know

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 3>this and that I don't know if he's what you

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 3>think buck.

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 2>So it it's a challenge.

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, the there's always guys that I have

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>that There's always one guy that I'm like, I'm too

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 1>low on this guy late in the process, right, And

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I've heard it, and I you know, I trust what

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I saw. I did not I can't unsee it. So

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna move this player up a little

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 1>bit because I've gone back and done more work on him.

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.880
<v Speaker 1>But the one player I would say that I'm probably

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>at the outlier of most odds with people, and I

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have enough conviction to just completely hold my ground

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>on this particular player. Is Banks is the is the

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.719
<v Speaker 1>tackle from Texas. There's a lot of teams have him

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 1>as the top tackle in the draft. Now they might

0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.479
<v Speaker 1>necessarily be taking one, but he's he's viewed higher than

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 1>where I have him. And I've had other people looked

0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I've had from agents to you know, scouts to is

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 1>say gosh, we like him better than you do. Uh,

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, I get it, but I didn't, you know,

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>this is what I didn't see it and see a

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 1>strain to finish that. I couldn't get the Georgia game

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 1>out of my head, and guys got on his edges

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and blah blah blah. But at the end of the day,

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>he's clean character wise, he's big, he's got good feet.

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's young. He's a really young kid. So

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.359
<v Speaker 1>he's one of those guys every year there's always like

0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.520
<v Speaker 1>late in the process where you're like, sometimes you got

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to fall on the sword a little bit and be like, Okay, yeah,

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:30.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, I miss you.

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.480
<v Speaker 3>So here's the thing, because I have him fourth, but

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.400
<v Speaker 3>DJ I have all these guys kind of rate it similar, right,

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 3>So I him Josh Simmons and Banks, they all are

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 3>right there, right, and Simmons has the kne issue, but

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 3>like the talent is crazy, you know. But then when

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 3>you look at Banks, like Banks is super talented and

0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.199
<v Speaker 3>athletic and all that, and I hear you with the

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.680
<v Speaker 3>strain to finish and and all of that other stuff.

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 3>But then you look at typically man, guys that are

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 3>that big, that can move around like that, that have

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 3>like the shadow boxing skills or whatever, Like it's intriguing.

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 3>And when you start factoring in the character, because we've

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 3>talked about this, like, man, this being a year where

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 3>there's kind of been more character things on some of.

0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 2>The old linemen then we're used to seeing.

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Normally, those are the safe guys that you know, you

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 3>talk about, hey we get wiped out.

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Take this guy.

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 3>It's a little different in this class. I can understand

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 3>why people would skew towards Banks because he is so

0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:25.520
<v Speaker 3>clean when it comes to the character and stuff.

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with you, like I'm

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't be shocked if Banks was the sixth pick

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.159
<v Speaker 1>to the Raiders, just based off of you know, talking

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to the people around the league and you know, different things,

0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 1>so you know, that's not where I have him, But

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.199
<v Speaker 1>he'll move up, he'll be in I'll probably get him

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.520
<v Speaker 1>up into the low low twenties on my on my

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:48.359
<v Speaker 1>final one, which is still going to go higher than that.

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.159
<v Speaker 1>But that's why, you know, it's always it's just at

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the end of the process, you kind of get a

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 1>sense of where people are and I'm I'm gonna you know,

0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna stick to my guns on the guys that

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.639
<v Speaker 1>I have firm conviction on, and you know, I'm fine,

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Like to me, Baron, like, okay, Baron could go much

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.199
<v Speaker 1>later than where I have. I'm a barren guy. I

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.160
<v Speaker 1>believe in it. I've seen I feel like I've seen

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 1>this player multiple times over the last few years, and

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 1>it translates I'm not I'm not I'm not bumping like

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.359
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, you guys take him later. I'll be the

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:18.440
<v Speaker 1>high guy on them what have you. But then there's

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>other guys where you're like, you know what kind of

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, it just kind of I either way, and

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm not going to have enough arrogance and

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:28.480
<v Speaker 1>ego to say that I got it right, and the

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:30.119
<v Speaker 1>whole rest of the league got it wrong. This is

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 1>what I'm getting.

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, I'm with you and that.

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 3>And sometimes you pick and choose your battles when to

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 3>fight to good fight or not. And I understand that.

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.639
<v Speaker 3>And you talk about today Barron. I like him as

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:43.639
<v Speaker 3>a player. I liked it now we've created this new position.

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Also love the fact that DJ Nickel corners are getting

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.720
<v Speaker 3>paid because it's now, finally, after all these years, it's

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 3>justification for putting that twelve position, that twelfth position on

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 3>the board before it was kind of a throwaway. Well,

0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 3>now we have a true nickel position that you can

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.159
<v Speaker 3>and say, no, this guy is a nickel, not because

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 3>he's too short, not because he's slow, but no, he

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 3>has the skill set to play it. Jday Baron kind

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:12.959
<v Speaker 3>of fits the bill in that regard. One of the

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 3>things that I have is like the Will Johnson conversation.

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 3>I think with Will Johnson, I've been I guess I

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 3>would say lenient, and I'm lenient on his grade because

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 3>of the Derek Stingly thing, meaning I remember seeing Derek

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Stingly as a freshman and seeing like later the one

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 3>on ones against the crew from LSU Jefferson and chasing

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 3>those things. But he didn't finish it off with the bang.

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 3>I still go back to looking at Will Johnson at

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.920
<v Speaker 3>his best and being like, man, he is so good

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.480
<v Speaker 3>when he's right and he's healthy and he's on the field,

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 3>and I know he has a ton of injuries and

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:50.840
<v Speaker 3>little nicks and knacks and stuff, but when he plays

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:53.119
<v Speaker 3>and he's right, he is as good as it gets

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 3>at the position, which is why I still hang on

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:57.199
<v Speaker 3>to him with a high grade that I put on.

0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, it's and feel free to do that. I think,

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:02.359
<v Speaker 1>to me, scheme fit is going to be big for him.

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 1>You know everything, And yeah, I don't think you want

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 1>to press him up leath him alone. But there's a

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of teams, you know. The best thing for him.

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 1>The best thing for him is that they won the

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 1>National Championship with a dominant defense, and their defense in

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>terms of coaches has scattered around the NFL, and there's

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people with proof of concept of like

0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>not only they know the kid individually, but they're like,

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I know how this guy.

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Will, I know how to use them, I know how

0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 3>to use them, I know where we play. To me,

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 3>and I'm saying like, in terms of the great in

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:30.640
<v Speaker 3>terms of how I expect them to play. But DJ

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.639
<v Speaker 3>in a perfect world, him going to the package at

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.120
<v Speaker 3>twenty three to me is like the right fit. It's

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:37.639
<v Speaker 3>the right fit in terms of how you played. But

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 3>more importantly, you know, we used to do those segments

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 3>on TV with instructions. Give them instructures on how to

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:45.640
<v Speaker 3>use them. You put him in Green Bay's defense, which

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 3>is a C ball get ball defense, vision and break

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:51.440
<v Speaker 3>playoff look at the quarterback all day. He's an all

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.840
<v Speaker 3>day sucker. Play at a high level and a lot

0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:57.000
<v Speaker 3>of that. I wish for these guys we could play matchmaker, like,

0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.400
<v Speaker 3>oh no, let's put him with this team and that team,

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:01.640
<v Speaker 3>and so you can see the best of Will Johnson

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 3>for a team like that that that wants to play

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:06.520
<v Speaker 3>off man, he would be great. He also be obviously

0:24:06.520 --> 0:24:09.640
<v Speaker 3>would be great, Uh at your team with the Charges,

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.920
<v Speaker 3>because not only do they know him, but sitting there

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 3>playing the style that they play works.

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that.

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I think the Chargers that when I looked it up,

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:21.439
<v Speaker 1>were thirtieth and man coverage percentage last year, So I

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 1>mean obviously they play. He's played in that defense, plays

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 1>top down with vision and then just go make plays.

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 2>So I did not know. Like, here's the trick.

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:34.040
<v Speaker 3>I did not know that they really didn't play man

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:37.719
<v Speaker 3>the man at all. That they're playing that much zone

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 3>and keeping it in front and keeping the score down

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 3>and and and all of that that is that is

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.160
<v Speaker 3>amazing because remember, for some long we quarterback plays too good.

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 3>You gotta lock up and take away the easy throwers

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:49.920
<v Speaker 3>and the charges like no, we don't, we don't, We

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:51.160
<v Speaker 3>can't keep them from we rally.

0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can't keep.

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Digging and dunking the ball down the field. At some

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 3>point you're gonna throw us a bad one, So.

0:24:57.520 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I gup, you will mess it up, all right. Any

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:02.119
<v Speaker 1>other interesting dilemmas you had on the defensive side of

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:02.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball in your top five?

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, I think it's the usual suspects.

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 3>I think the linebackers and stuff were pretty clean, the

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 3>pass rushers and those things.

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 2>I think the d tackles right Like.

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:17.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't think people give enough love to Darius Alexander.

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 3>I know you brought him up very very early in

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 3>the process, but he is one that I've stuck with.

0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:24.679
<v Speaker 3>I dropped Kenneth Grant down a little bit because I

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 3>feel like every year doing this process early we value

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 3>run stuffers. But then when we get to the draft,

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 3>they all come down a little bit because we value

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:33.879
<v Speaker 3>pass rushers over run stoppers.

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I kind of moved him down before.

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Darius Alexander to me, like there's ones where

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm probably leaning a little hot or maybe

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little cold, Like I don't like he's my No,

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 1>he's my forty seventh player, buck And that's like one

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:49.880
<v Speaker 1>guy telling me that he looks like the forty seventh pick,

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Like I like, that's his value.

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I have him as the fifty tackle.

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I look at him on tape and I'm like, maybe I'm.

0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Off, like because I see him moving, I see all

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 3>the athletic.

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Stuff, super hot, and I'm like, man, like why can't

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.199
<v Speaker 2>he go? Like why can't he a little older?

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:12.920
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know that anybody cares anymore, like why why.

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Can't he why can't he go? Or whatever?

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 3>And then I'm pulling up. I wanted to see when

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Chris Jones was drafted because I remember watching Chris Jones

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 3>early too.

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.120
<v Speaker 2>He was thirty seventh, he.

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Was thirty seventh overall, but DJ, I remember watching him

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 3>in Mississippi.

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:28.920
<v Speaker 2>State, and he has some other stuff, but like, I'm like, look.

0:26:28.760 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Man, this dude is over here. You don't see big

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.680
<v Speaker 3>guys that can move like that. And his movement as

0:26:34.720 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 3>a bigger guy is different at de tackle then Ken

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Grant even a little different than Mason Graham in terms

0:26:41.800 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 3>of movement. And I just think we've seen time and

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 3>time again they will look at the three.

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:47.879
<v Speaker 2>And be like, man, how did he How was he

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:49.640
<v Speaker 2>a second round pick? Yeah?

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, he's a He is a good football player.

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I squeezed him into the back end of a couple

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of mock drafts. I think I had him with the

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.520
<v Speaker 1>run early.

0:26:59.160 --> 0:27:03.119
<v Speaker 3>Because and but I know DJ well enough to know me, like,

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 3>hold on, hold on, where's this name come from?

0:27:06.600 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 2>This name?

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:08.639
<v Speaker 3>This name is out the blue. It's one of the

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:11.919
<v Speaker 3>first and second mock drafts. I was like, okay, all right,

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 3>a little birdie's tipped them off. Let me go in

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:14.960
<v Speaker 3>there and find him.

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, he just looks different when you're watching the

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Toledo tape and you're kind of jamming through all the

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.520
<v Speaker 1>dts and you're like, Okay, that looks a little different

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.679
<v Speaker 1>than the rest of these dudes. I've been watching. So

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:27.399
<v Speaker 1>now I'm I'm excited for this thing to get here. Dude,

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 1>we've we've kind of made it down to the end.

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I keep saying the same thing that everybody. My message

0:27:34.160 --> 0:27:39.160
<v Speaker 1>to teams is very is very simple. Get you three.

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Just go get your three starters in this draft wherever

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you can find them. Don't worry about the positions. This year.

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 1>You come out of this thing where a starting tight

0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:50.120
<v Speaker 1>end running back in DT. You're gravy like they're out there.

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Go find them, Go get them.

0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 2>And then get out because next year is going to

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:55.680
<v Speaker 2>be I'll say.

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.200
<v Speaker 1>You want to know something crazy, yep, I was looking

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 1>this up. I gotta confirm it, but I believe Philadelphia

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 1>has twelve picks next year.

0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Twelve.

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:10.080
<v Speaker 1>All those guys they lost in free agency, they got paid.

0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, the DT got big money with the Patriots.

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Milton Williams, you've got a sweat who got good money.

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Beckton got a little bit of money, you know. On

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 1>and on and on. They lost, they lost some guys,

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:28.119
<v Speaker 1>and so of course Howie Roseman's already locked and loaded

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>for next year.

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 2>But of course he is.

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:32.440
