1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: At least. He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Williamson on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: Welcome back up, Dale Ally here with Matt Williamson his

4
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: mock draft time today. We're using Pro Football Focus mock

5
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: drafter and just as an aside, Pro Football Focus has

6
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: the running backs rated very lowly. Yeah, they're not nearly

7
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: as high on running backs as some other sites here,

8
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: So uh, we're not gonna necessarily go by their rankings.

9
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna go by where we would take these guys. Yeah,

10
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: the two things I just wanted to make note. First

11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: of all, double someone sent me a tweet that for

12
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: some reason, Pro Football Focus has the Steelers picking twenty second.

13
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: That's not true, right, They've got him at I have

14
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: noticed the last few times instead of picking a fifty five,

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: they had him at fifty six. I don't know. Maybe

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: it's a glitch in a program. I don't know. I

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: just want to double check the here they get him

18
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: a fifty five, it looks like they have the picture right.

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: And then this dude burg Bull, who I assume is

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: listening is a big fan of ours. I'm not gonna do.

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it this time, but he

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: he suggested, please do a mock where the Steelers don't

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: get one of the top running backs, just to see

24
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: what that looks like. We'd love to see. I mean,

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: I've done that, like it, but I've done that. It's

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: not very much fun. Maybe we'll do it Friday or something,

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: but I do want to try that at some point. Um.

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: And what I said to you going into this one

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: with Pro football Focus is we know we can cheat

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: and get the Vonte Williams in the second round. I

31
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: think we can't know that going in. Let's not we

32
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: know we can possibly. I've done ones on this when

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: we're Nase Harris is available in the third which is

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. So I'm cool with trading down and this one,

35
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: but I'm not cool with let's take something else because

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: we know we know, yeah, we're looking at their rankings

37
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: because NFL teams don't have that luxury r and I

38
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: respect for profool focus. I understand their value of running backs,

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: but I don't believe that one of those three will

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: be there in the second round of this year. I

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: don't believe. So I don't believe that. Okay, so our

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: pick is up the guys who went just ahead of us.

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: We saw Rosha Bateman go to Chicago, okay, Jeremiah o

44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: Wosu Coramoa, Yeah, to the Colts, which is fine by

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: me too. Elijah Vera Tucker goes to the Titans. He's

46
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: not really for the Steelers for me either, and then

47
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Gregory Russo goes to the Jets through Seattle Steeler friendly. Yes.

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: So our top guys available are Christian Barmore, Elijah Moore,

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: Quinny Paye, Jason Ema Walker Little they have now ranked overall.

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: Malt Kiper has them really high too. I think people

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: are telling some of these guys, you look at it,

52
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: two year old tape, three year old tape. Actually, what

53
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm my saying, azzolar I don't like any of this.

54
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: Uh Taras Marshall, Dylan Raddin's Tevin Jenkins is the first

55
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: guy on there that I would consider. He's the first

56
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: one of that list of Nick Bolton's Avin Collins. Uh.

57
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: All the running backs are they're a t N. They

58
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: have a t N is their top rank running back

59
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: at forty two. I mean, I think the we can

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: I think there's two options trade down if somebody's interested

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: in or take our favorite back. We do have a

62
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: trade down offer. This is from the Chiefs. I would

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: almost be willing. I almost be willing to bet they

64
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: want to move up to take Tevin Jenkins. And I

65
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: don't blame one bit. He's perfect for the chief Yeah.

66
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: And I like Jenkins a ton, but he'd be a

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: starting right tackle from them. From so they have thirty

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: one and sixty three thirty ones about where I want

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: to get right where I wanna be at. Let's see

70
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: if we can get that just for four Okay, let's

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: see if the boom they took it. All right, we

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: got there first and second for our first because they

73
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: moved up seven spots. That would make if I were

74
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, I would do that trade too. Yeah, give me.

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: I like Jenkins a lot. Okay, so we're back. If

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: they picked the Chiefs took actually it took Alizo Glari Azizolari.

77
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: They didn't take an offensive lineman, so we moved down.

78
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Jenkins is still on the on the board, okay,

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: and I love them. Um. I think I'm still taking

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: it back here though. We do have two more trade offers.

81
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's see what they are. I always worry

82
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: that the Lions. The Lions are had the forty one pick,

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: there are there, they have an offer here, and the

84
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: next one up is the Titans at fifty three. Let's

85
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: do it. No, we're gonna take our guy. We know

86
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: we could get a back there if we cheat, but

87
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: let's just take it back here. I vote for Harris,

88
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: but I could really be convinced of all three. I

89
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: know Harris's weight on their list, weight down their list. Yeah,

90
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: I think he's a great prospect. Um. If you're looking

91
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: at how they have the backs ranked, they have Travis

92
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: a t N at forty two, which is high for

93
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: them to rank a back. They have Javonte Williams at

94
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: fifty eight. They have naj Harris at sixty five. You

95
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: can't tell me there's sixty four better players and draft Harris.

96
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't want to go Harrison one

97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: one of the others, I'm cool with it. He's my

98
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: number one back. Harris is my number one back as well. Um,

99
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: I have Javonte Williams two and a T and three.

100
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: I could see this team though, Just wanting to you

101
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: that they've they're they've been looking for that who's that speed? Back,

102
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: and that's why they drafted Anthony McFarland. That's what they Yeah,

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: I think they weren't speed. I think they do too.

104
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: I bet Matt Canada one speed. I think they want

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: to another receiving weapon. I love a t N. I

106
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: mean I didn't. I'm warming up to a more and more,

107
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: especially if you have a Connor um. But I think

108
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: Harris is the best prospect. I can make a strong

109
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: case for all three. I mean, if you're building big

110
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: long term, who's gonna be the best back in year

111
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: three and not worn out? Well? According according to d J,

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: it's Williams. Ye, he's that he could be the star

113
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: of this drafts. Maybe do we what the difference between

114
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: A ten and Harrison Take Williams. I think he's the

115
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: third best receiver. I think if we actually, if we

116
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: actually moved down to if the Steelers actually moved down

117
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: to thirty one, I think Williams will be the guy

118
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: because I don't think either one of those other two

119
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: guys will be available. Let's just want to do it.

120
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Let's just do it. That's fine, Yeah, all right, and

121
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: we're cruising with two seconds though, we're back up. We're

122
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: back up again. Here at fifty five. We got four

123
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: trade offers this time. All right, okay, the guys trading down,

124
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: but I feel like we cheat the system a little. One.

125
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: I think one trade down is realistic. Seven is not.

126
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: It's hard to pass. Yeah. You know sometimes someone will

127
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: be like, I'll give you one forty three for one

128
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: two and throw in a fifth, and I'm always going

129
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: to say yes to that. But you do that five

130
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: times in a draft and it kind of excuse your results.

131
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: So okay, so the top guys available, Jumar Johnson down.

132
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: You want to make a rule, We're not allowed to

133
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: make any more trades, okay, unless unless we're trading a

134
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: a late pick for a future pick. Yeah, if someone

135
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: wants to give us a fifth next year for a

136
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: six this year. Yeah, something like that. Um Eleen McNeil available. Interesting,

137
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Elijah not after that's the signing Elijah Moulten, Richie Grant,

138
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Quinn Miners. They got him now up to fifty three

139
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: on their right. He's interesting to be never drafted him. Yeah,

140
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: he's a starting slot from day one for the Steelers.

141
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Robinson. I think I like Molden better. Darius Washington, No,

142
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: Andre Cisco, Jamon Davis. Uh Naja Harris still available. Um,

143
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: Kendrick Green is rising up the boards of sixty eight

144
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: now he's he's another guy that's gaining steam. Like I

145
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: think more people saw a film and testing, like they

146
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: actually have him rated the head of Creed Humphrey. Now

147
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: yeah good, he's a ridiculous run blocker. He he he

148
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: just kills people in the run game. Um take Allen

149
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: Creed Humphrey, Eric Stokes, Milton Williams and not so much.

150
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Now see they have Jalen Mayfield at seventy six. Credit

151
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: for that. I mean, I think that's a gut seat call.

152
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: What are you feeling here? I mean I think Moldener Davis.

153
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: I think it's Mouldener Davis. I think we can get

154
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: a corner, a comparable corner in the third round. There's

155
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Or with our next second round pick,

156
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: we may get what let me get Molden with our

157
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: next second round pick. It's coming up a sixty three.

158
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: Are we gonna get jam And Davis? If we passed

159
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: on Jamie Davis here, I think that's the pick. I

160
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: think he's a better prospect than Moulden too. Yeah, I

161
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: think so as well. So Jamie Davis is the pick.

162
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: Let's see, because there's a bunch of corners there that

163
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: I'd be happy with any of those. Yeah, and some

164
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: other developmental guys, you know. Right. Okay, so we're up

165
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: here again at sixty three, and I assume we're looking

166
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: at corners and don't want to ignore offensive line. Yeah,

167
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: miners still available that but Darius Washington, No, No, Kendrick

168
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: Green still available. I would take Miners over Green, but

169
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: I like both Creed Humphrey. It looks like the corners

170
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: did get taken air Eric Stokes us interesting, Yeah, that's

171
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: the corners kind of got Those defensive backs got eaten

172
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: up there they go quick. The top guys available now

173
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: cornerback or take Allen Melon for wann, Eric Stokes, Thomas Graham, Kelvin,

174
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: Joseph st Just Rashod Wild Goose, Trey Brown, Ambree Thomas.

175
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: There was three there I liked wu um what's his

176
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: face of Kentucky dude Stokes, And there was two centers

177
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: I liked Humphrey. Miners probably get one of those five

178
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: with their next pick, maybe, I mean, you don't know

179
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: that for sure. We don't pick again until eighties seven.

180
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: Not a bit of a bit of a weight, and

181
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some tackles. There's some there's still some tackles.

182
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to go tackle yet. Yeah, you've a

183
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: favorite of those five, probably minors. He sets up well

184
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: to learn high upside. I'm fine with that. I'm absolutely

185
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: fine with that. Yeah, I think that's the think you'd

186
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: fit in well around here. I do. I think that

187
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: as well. Um, the watts and the way he projects.

188
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: How about that? The guys he's still not listed on

189
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: some draft websites, like, yeah, he's fifty three on here,

190
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: all right, so he's the pick. We've got a little

191
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: weight here till we get the eighty seven and we're

192
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: back up again. Jamar Johnson is still available. He's ranks

193
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: forty one on their list. Jamon Sherman, Kendred Green still available. Man,

194
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: we just took a lot and we just took one. There. Uh,

195
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: let's see who this stuff again. This is attack or Corner.

196
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: So the top Cornt Calvin Joseph still available. I'd be

197
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: fine with that. Thomas Graham, sat Juice, Wild Wild Goose,

198
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: Trey Brown, r Darius William Paulson, The Debo, Rochelle Rochelle.

199
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: I think I take Joseph nothing twice. I think Joseph

200
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: is very camp. I mean he's a little bit bigger

201
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: than Cam Sutton, but I think there's some similar He's

202
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: more outside than in but probably could do both. Yeah,

203
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I like that pick a lot. All right,

204
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: there's the pick. I mean Hayden is not young, right,

205
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: that's the other part of it. Yeah, if you love lane,

206
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think corners in the max. All right.

207
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: Now we're cruising along here to our next pick at

208
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: tackle would be I thought Kendrick Green still available. They

209
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: bumped him up their board. Nobody's taking well a lot

210
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: of times of the teams that need centers. Brady Christensen available,

211
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: that's nice. I wish you were younger. He tested well,

212
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: but he's like twenty three and a half already. Yeah,

213
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't be a starter this year. He's a project.

214
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: But I don't love his age for that profile. But

215
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: he was. I think he won the nation's best offensive

216
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: lineman this year. Yeah, he's got a heck of a year.

217
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: Trey Brown still available, but he just took a corner.

218
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: Tommy Tremble available. That's interesting to me. That's an interesting one.

219
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: I moved him on my tight end board of late. Yeah,

220
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: he's my top for sure. Yea um Deante Smith available

221
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: at offensive? Did you take Smith over Christiansen? I think

222
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: I would with the with the thought of neither plays

223
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, but either be fine with me. They're

224
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: both good. Um is there an edge? Let's see here,

225
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: you're looking at Josh Kane Do or Kane Do, Chris Rump,

226
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: Malcolm Kuntz, Chauncey Gholston, Generis Robinson, Jonathan Cooper, Charles Snowden,

227
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: Patrick Jones, Yellers Smith Um Snowdon's kind of interesting, but

228
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: that seems a little early for anything. Um. Kind of

229
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: like Tremble there. I think it fills the need, and

230
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: I think he'd be a great special team or too. Yeah,

231
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: that's what kind of in the Claypool Notre Dame mode.

232
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Do you want to fix your run game? But he's

233
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: also a move guy. You could do a lot with him.

234
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: To me, he's not Ebron or Bruner. He's kind of

235
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: in between. Yeah, you know what I mean. Let's take Tremble. Okay,

236
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Tommy Tremble. It is at one. We get another pick

237
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: coming up at one forty. Here so we can take

238
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: another look at this offensive tackle position. Christiansen still there,

239
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: Deante Smith still there, Robert Hanzi, Larry Burham, Alaric Jackson.

240
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: He's kind of an interesting guy that Yeah, those top

241
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: two tackles to me, or they stand above the yea,

242
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: they stand above the other guys. Um, there wasn't an

243
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: edge that I was hoping to fall either. No, that's

244
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: the problem there. The edge just kind of got eating

245
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: nothing to take the tackles. Um. I think Christiansen is

246
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: a much better player now, but it depends he doesn't

247
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: fit the Steeler profile quite as much. For Smith was

248
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: a high pedigree guy. With you. It's a little small though.

249
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: He's a little light. Yeah, that's the problem, Like is

250
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: he gonna I haven't seen his pro day weight, but

251
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: he was I think Senior Bowl was under three hundred,

252
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: under three hundred and they listed him a six four. Now,

253
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: he does have thirty arms, so he's long enough to

254
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: play the position. But he's and he's really athletic. Either

255
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: of those are fine with me. I think I'd lean

256
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: towards him over Christenson just because the age. Okay, so

257
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: I means are three tackles they can live with. Right now.

258
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: Deante Smith is to pick nice. It's a good developmental guy. Okay,

259
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: we're cruising along here to to sixteen. Now we almost

260
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: have to take one of these edges. I would think,

261
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're done at Oline, probably you're done attack

262
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: or a tight end. I wouldn't again, I wouldn't be

263
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: opposed to taking another running back if he's a weapon. Yeah, well,

264
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: you know what, the Michigan guy would be interesting to me.

265
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: Mississippi State due to be interesting to me, you know.

266
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: Just and hey, hey, Benny, you might not be on

267
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: the team either. Okay. At the edge, we got Patrick Jones,

268
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: we got Raymond Johnson at a Georgia Southern, William Bradley King,

269
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: and a Baylor. Um, I'm not the biggest Patrick Jones guy.

270
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: As much as I want to like pick guys, but

271
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: at this late stage, he's not quite as thick as

272
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: they usually go with me. More more of a long dude.

273
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: But he's not a bad player. He gets to the

274
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: quarterback Jamar Watson at a Kentucky UM, Carlo Kemp, Taylor Riggins,

275
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: Ernest Brown at the Northwestern. Jones is the best one

276
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: of Alan say, he's the best one of ailable kind

277
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: of shock. He's there. I think I take him. Okay,

278
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: he's the pick. I only we've ever taken him. No,

279
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't believe. I don't know if we've taken any

280
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: of the pit guys. Really, I don't think. Okay, we're

281
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: back up at two forty five. Here the top guys available.

282
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Trey Regas out of Louisiana, running back, O'Brien Goodson, the

283
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: defensive enlignement out of Memphis. He's the guy who measured

284
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: in at five ten two d seventy four pounds. Yeah,

285

Speaker 1: you go tight end? Tight end? Two tight ends in

289
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: the draft? That? But I think he's another one of

290
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: these Michigan guys if they didn't get the most out

291
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: of Yeah, you know, Felippe A. Franks there, huh, big weapon.

304
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: of an interesting guy. Reader on my website, send me

Speaker 1: some stuff about him. Six nine? Where's he from? Colorado State?

306
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: Big big guy physically dominant against you know? I mean

307
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: he could play the Claypool role for you to some degree. Yeah.

308
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean he's about as big as you're going to

309
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: get it a wide receiver as a wide you see.

310
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know enough about it, but like

311
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: many big teams, a lot of big wide receivers, he

312
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: doesn't you know, he's not gonna while you how dynamic.

313
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't like anything that's on the board. Do we

314
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: then look to trade out of this spot, trade for

315
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: a future pick. Let's see if we can do that.

316
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: But we've addressed a lot of needs. We usually don't

317
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: get tight ends at this point by now, and I

318
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: think we've addressed all of our needs. Um, let me

319
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: see who might want to pick? Who doesn't have a pick.

320
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: The Chargers don't have a pick, The Raiders don't, the

321
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: Readers don't have a pick. Coming up here in this street.

322
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: They're always good fun. They want Yeah, heck, we'll give

323
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: them both picks and to fifty four if they if

324
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: they would just give us, they got two fifth round

325
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: picks next year on both we won't get both. We

326
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: won't get. But let's see if because they are both

327
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: seventh round picks, we're trading them to sevens. Let's see

328
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 1: if we get one of those fives heartbeat and they

329
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,040

00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: round picks this year. Nice. We traded back and then

332
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: we got We got rid of our top pick and

333
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: our bottom stuff and just hit in the middle. They're

Speaker 1: They're not. They don't. They gave us a B for

336
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: the trade to win made yea. They gave us a

337
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: D for taking Javonte Williams there at thirty one. Of course,

338
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: we got a C plus for Jamon Davis, a C

339
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: plus for Quinn Miners, a C plus for Kelvin Josephs,

340

Speaker 1: B plus for Deante Smith, a C plus for Patrick Jones,

342
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: and a C plus for our getting out of the

343
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: just the trade trade. That trade with the Raiders should

344
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: have been an A right there. That's awesome. Yeah, seventh round,

345
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: fifth round pick next year for two sevenths right from

346
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: a much of great team. I like that draft. They

347
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: gave us a B overall that we've got guys we

348
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: like at all positions that weren't stretches that ranked. There

349
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: are draft ranked out of all the draft drafts that

350
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: were done. UH their mock draft out of the thirty

351
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: two teams. We took a running back first because we

352
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: took na Yeah, no, I would do that in heartbeat.

353
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: I like that the way that we the type of

354
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: guys we added that can help now and in the future.

355
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: Got a lot of the profiles would look for the

356
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: two offensive linemen or projects high ceiling guys. Keep doing

357
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: a lot of drafts where I wind up with Javonte

358
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: Williams and Jayme and Davis. By the way, I would

359
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: trade to steal sup for those two right now. I mean,

360
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: like if you could assure me that twenty four and

361
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: what sixty five is that their second pick? Yeah, we

362
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: turned into those two is what we use. But I

363
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: mean right now and sixty five for Jaman Davis and

364
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: Juante Williams. Yeah, yeah, I do that. I do that. Yeah,

365
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: we got We got those two with our first two picks.

366
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: We got Quinn Miners. With at extra pick that we

367
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: picked up in the uh, we took Kelvin Joseph, the

368
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: cornerback at of Kentucky at eight seven. We took Tommy Tremble,

369
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: the tight end out in the Enter Dame It fans

370
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: would like him. Yeah. Then we took Jante Smith, the

371
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: tackle out of East Carolina. Hope you don't hear from

372
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: until next year unless he's he's tackle eligible, you know,

373
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: but we have I mean that's what Joe Haig does.

374
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he does some yeah, I would think he's

375
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: not new yearly mixed though. Uh and then when a

376
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: to six team we took Patrick Jones, the edge rusher

377
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: out of pity, I think he would be in the

378
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: early mix, like he might be your third guy or

379
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: situational pass rusher. Probably learns so fun that. I think

380
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: we attacked all of the needs. Um, maybe would have

381
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: liked to have got another running but you can get

382
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: one of those fine, yeah, um, but that's not bad overall.

383
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: If our biggest complaint we add two running backs. Yeah,

384
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: he resigned Conner, but we got we got two offensive lineman.

385
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: We got a starting running back. We got we helped

386
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: our linebacker room a lot. Same with corner. We got

387
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: a corner. Yeah right, No, I think that's a in

388
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: a tight endrest. We dressed all the needs. We haven't

389
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: we're short ourselves an outside linebacker type. This is what

390
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: the resigning of Tyson Alulu does exactly exactly. It has

391
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: that trickle down effect where be nice to take tremble here,

392
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: but we can't. We gotta take it, take like quite

393
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: as much and then you know it works out well. Yeah,

394
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: So again, I think I think if they get obviously

395
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna have. You know, if we had just

396
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: taken Williams jam and Davis Kelvin Kelvin Joseph I said,

397
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: we would wouldn't have got miners if we stay put,

398
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, and we don't know if they can trade

399
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: or not, who knows, But that still wouldn't be a

400
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: bad draft. No, that would be biff solid draft. And

401
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: really we had our choice running backs that could have

402
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: been Nauja Harris or you know, it wouldn't change my

403
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: opinion of it. I mean, if that's the case, then

404
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: maybe you don't trade one of those. Maybe instead of

405
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: taking Patrick Jones at two sixteen or Deriante Smith at

406
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: won four, maybe you take one of those mid round

407
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: centers there, right, Yeah, your strategy might be a little

408
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: different after you when you get on day two, Okay,

409
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: it still works. Yeah, Or you trade those two sevenths

410
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: up for six and right, yeah, take that. That's where

411
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: you get your edge or something like that. Yeah, So overall,

412
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: not bad and the draft setting up really well for

413
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: where the Steelers set Yeah, and again it's it's because

414
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: they've taken care of some of their needs and in

415
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: free agency, yes, is the team again people say how's

416
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: this team, as you know, as good as it was

417
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: last year? Well, right now it's probably it's not. But

418
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: they get a draft to fix some of this stuff, right,

419
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: they can get younger and faster better. Yeah, guys, guys

420
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: will get better and they're not digging from polls that

421
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: are shallow, right. You know, there's a lot of corners,

422
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: a lot of backers, a lot of backers that can

423
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: run to fit their mold, right, a lot of projects

424
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: to tackle and center to you know, I like it. Yeah,

425
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: so he is Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lally. You've been
