WEBVTT - Drive Time: Offensive Combine Notes and Matchmaker with EJ Snyder 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:11.120 What is up, Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.600 I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and on today's show, 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:16.439 our last edition of Combine Coverage, I'm going to go 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.919 ahead and recap the offensive side of the football what 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.760 we saw on the field before Friday show we pivot 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:25.440 to the free agency portion of the calendar as freegency 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.640 begins just next week. We'll also hear from EJ. Snyder 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.440 and talk about some potential Dolphins fits in this year's 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.680 draft as well. All of that and more from the 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.720 Baptist Hell Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:43.800 is the Draft Time Podcast. Aye, before we get into EJ, 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.760 I want to kick this thing off here and kind 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.920 of talk about some Combine notes. But before I even 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.120 get to that, discuss something I saw from the great 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.160 Brandon Thorne. I wanted to get him on the podcast 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:59.320 back in Indianapolis, but our schedules never quite intersected. He 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.720 is the public sure of the Trench Warfare newsletter where 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.759 he breaks down all things offensive and defensive line play. 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:10.640 Kind of a difficult level to analyze, especially for the 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.400 common fan. And that's why I think Brandon's content is 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.319 so good because he's one of the few guys that 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.959 has carved out a space for himself with regards to 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.560 doing offensive line specific content. And that's just to me, 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:27.039 the most misunderstood position by common fans across any sport, 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.280 and quite frankly, folks that do what I do for 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:34.040 a living. It's a tough thing to identify responsibilities and assignments. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.000 And that's why I think that certain offensive line grades 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:42.200 should not be factored in at all. Soap box point aside. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.480 He wrote about the tackle to guard pipeline conversion in 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.760 the NFL, and I found it fascinating because of what 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.160 Will Campbell did in Indianapolis and because of what some 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:57.080 folks think Marcus bo even armand Membu who I will 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.120 go into draft night having him as my OT one 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.160 on my final big board. Josh Simmons number two closely 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.720 behind him. But here's what Brandon said. Zach Martin, Joe Tooney, 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.800 Joel Buttonio, Brandon Schurf are four of the best guards 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.160 of the last decade, with twenty two Pro Bowls among them. 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.840 All of them were very good, productive offensive or rather 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.960 accomplished college tackles at left tackle. Tyler Smith, Sam Cosmy, 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:23.960 Elijah Vera, Tucker are three of the better young guards 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.400 in the league, and they are in the same boat. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.200 And he also notes this list is not exhaustive. Robert Hunt, 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.120 for instance, was a right tackle at ULL and kicked 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.120 in the guard and got a nine figure contract. Projecting 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.680 a very good tackle inside to guard isn't a slight. 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.760 In fact, more players should embrace it. This class is 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.640 shaping up to be a shot in the arm of 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.560 the aging crop of guards closer to the beginning of 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.240 their careers than the end. He listed Campbell from LSU, 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:54.320 Kelvin Banks from Texas, Jonah Savina from Arizona, Gray's Abel 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.040 from North Dakota State, Jalen Rivers from Miami, bo from Purdue, 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.359 Emery Jones from LSU As College tackles that can move 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.720 inside in this year's class. And that's not even exhaustive 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.519 to that point. And again, we saw Miami take Robert 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.840 Hunt and keep him there in twenty twenty two after 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.000 his first career start in twenty twenty and some of 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.160 twenty twenty one as well was at that right tackle 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.640 position right and we saw them move Connor Williams all 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.079 the way inside after he was an NFL guard who 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.720 was a college tackle. We saw them cross tran keyon 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.720 Smith this preseason to play some guard. Liam and Robert 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.240 Jones were both collegiate tackles. Isaiah Winn was a tackle 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.639 in college. You guys get what I'm getting at here, right, 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:35.280 And that's really true of all the Shanahan Tree systems. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.040 The Niners do it just like we do it. The 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.240 Packers have moved both Elton Jenkins and Zach Tom inside. 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.680 Tom was originally inside, has gone back outside since then. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.560 Sean Ryan was a tackle in college guard in the pros. 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.800 The Rams have done it all across their line. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:49.640 It is at the in. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.120 Vogue move excuse me for this offensive system, and that's 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.560 something to keep an eye on because again, I think 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.080 some of the best potential guards in this class will 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.680 be former tackles like a bow Banks. Maybe even Will 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.680 Campbell makes it to thirteen, because Jordan Reed from ESPN 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.480 did project that will happen and that Miami will take him. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:08.040 Now, will they? 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.440 Because that would go against conventional thinking. Although you could 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.520 argue like he is at one point going to play 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.720 tackle in this offense, but then you're kind of saying, like, well, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.039 I'm betting against Patrick Paul or Austin Jackson down the road, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.080 which I don't think they'll do that because they believe 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.800 in those players as cornerstones, and for what it's worth, 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.160 I don't believe either Paul or Austin will be interior 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.719 players in this offense anytime soon, if you were thinking that. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.240 So fascinating stuff all around. I tend to think this 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.640 year's draft class is better to go defense early and 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.760 that that can change and pivot based upon how the 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.880 board falls. But Tyler Warren's kind of the one guy 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.839 up top offensively that makes some sense to me. Otherwise, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.640 I'm looking at what I think is going to be 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.279 a top ten talent who falls at defensive tackle, maybe 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.400 a corner. Maybe you take a jack of all trades 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.080 and a Nick Worry. I just feel like the defensive 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.560 positions could have more to offer if you can't get 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.599 warm in that thirteenth pick. Let's go ahead and button 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.119 up this first segment here before I get to EJ 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.920 talking about what happened on the field during the combine 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.839 workouts and Tyler shook the Louisville quarterback that has kind 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.520 of become that guy I think for a lot of 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.920 folks and. 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.200 Better here than Jackson Dart. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.680 I really don't understand this Jackson Dart hype, and perhaps 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.120 that is the you know, the quarterback class tends to 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.400 get pushed up. I have gone back to the film 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.039 on Shedur Sanders and really softened my stance on him. 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.760 Not even a first round player for me, so I 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.240 think Tyler Shook though. Man, he was made for this event. 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.520 He's slaying the football all over the field. He was 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.919 always going to look awesome in shorts, but it's the 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.320 fact that he's six foot four and ran a sub 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.560 four seven forty yard dash that made him a winner 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.480 for me. That's ninety third percent tile in height, eighty 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.599 fifth percent tile in straight line speed, and the athletic 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.800 ability is there as well as the ability to drop 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.160 the arm angle and throw all kinds of shortstop throws, 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.920 very attractive part of his game. And then Brady Cook 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.039 from Missouri was a four to six guy with a 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.800 thirty seven inch vertical ten foot seven broad jumps. So 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.200 there's your athlete of the class right there. Now more 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.039 important positions like running back here. I got plenty of 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:17.320 notes on a class that perhaps Miami isn't even venturing into. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.920 But we shall see Quinn Shawn Judkins was the one 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.920 that to me made himself a first round prospect with 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.239 what he did. And I look at the pass protection 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.479 reel in college and it was awesome. And then I 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.440 watch him jump eleven feet on the broad two hundred 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.120 and twenty pounds, like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. He's 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.479 the most explosive player that has a lot of weight 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.279 behind those pads and he plays with pure power. He'll 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.440 knock you in the mouth. Go watch his organ tape 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.440 where he just popped guys in the mouth consistently. As 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.680 pass rushers. He runs a four to four to eight 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.320 like get the hell out of here, thirty eight and 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.400 a half inch vertical. All of these are eighty fifth 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.600 percentile or better with a weight at running back ninetieth 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.800 percent tile. He's a first round player. I don't think 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.719 he'll go there. So is he an option at forty eight, Yeah, 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.919 he would be. Would that be a little bit overkill? 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.240 Yeah it would be. But maybe you pick up an 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.600 additional pick somewhere and you can go after this guy 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.040 and change your temperament, change your mentality on day number two. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.960 Although I do fear he's worked himself above the forty 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.800 eighth pick, and that would seem to be quite a 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.840 luxury for the Miami Dolphins. Speaking of luxuries, Travon Henderson 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.200 his teammate at Ohio State. If you want more speed, 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.400 I mean he worked out just like the tapes said 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.600 he would four four three a one to five six 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.800 ten split, thirty eight and a half inch for ten 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.600 to nine broad jump. Those are my two favorite backs 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.160 in the entire class. I would have no issues. Well, 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.160 that's removing Ashton genty obviously he's like a top ten pick. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.520 But I would have no issue if both Jenkins and 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.760 Henderson went in the first round. But I do think Judkins' 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.240 style would really complete the Dolphins running back room. 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.520 But both these players are really really fun. 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.480 I also think by shell Touton from Virginia Tech would 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.320 give you some of that. And he was listed at 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.240 two hundred and twenty pounds going into this and came 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.360 out of it with two oh six. Can we get 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.400 our scals right? Like, what the hell's going on there? 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.640 Because the offensive line measurements were way off from Senior 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.960 Bowl two. But this was Brett Coleman's matchmaker pick. On 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.040 the Thursday podcast, he said four three, five Tooton goes 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.560 four to three to two to two right and again, 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.760 two hundred and six pounds, forty point five inch vertical 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.960 ten oh five broad. He also had fifty three percent 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.160 of his yards at VTech came on breakaway runs, and 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.120 you know your boy loves that. If we if we're 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.480 gonna run the ball a lot, I want to have 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.720 home run hitters. His four to four to one shuttle 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.480 was only thirty percent tile, which just says that you're 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.360 basically not like gonna be a shifty in tight spaces back. 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.560 But when you just run outside zone, just hit your 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.959 top bend speed, find decrease and go. There's not a 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.560 lot of start stop in this offense in at that position. 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.080 So I think he still fits there. Omar and Hampton 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.040 the North Carolina back, I mean it just continues here right, 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.800 thirty eight inch vertical, ten to five broad four four 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.720 seven one five six ten split. He's also two hundred 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.600 and twenty one pounds. Like, what the hell is going 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.559 on here? Man? These two hundred and twenty pounds backs 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.920 are not supposed to move like that. And we do 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.520 have one of those guys in Jalen Wright, who is 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.079 already being talked about in my as that kind of 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.360 physical presence alongside Devon Ahchen. So all of this is 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.880 to say, you're looking for your third running back because 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.880 Miami's got their top two guys right now and it 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.400 should be that way. R J. Harvey at a UCF 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.640 clocked a four to four flat. That's a ninety seven 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.480 percent tile and with his receiving skills makes me pretty 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.040 damn intrigued. If you can find either him or by 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.840 shell tooton on day three, I would be very into that. 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.320 The guy that kind of fell the most for me 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.080 was Iowa's Caleb Johnson. He was saying he was going 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.080 to run four to three and then seeing that with 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.440 his outside zone reel had me fired up to be 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.920 a possible Dolphin in the future. But then he runs 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.559 a four to five three, which is what I expected 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:36.959 it to be. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:38.280 I would be interested. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.760 However, on day number three, at receiver Jack Besh from TCU, 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.320 his six eight seven three cone time was one of 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.800 the biggest needle moving moments of the entire weekend. I 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.480 thought I saw that wiggle on his college tape, and 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.360 at that size, we're talking about a really, really tough 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.400 cover for cornerbacks because he can go over the top 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.560 of you and he can shake you, especially in on one 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.480 coverage situations, which he would get every rep in this offense, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.720 because hey, guess what You've got Tyreek Hill and Jilen Waddle. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.679 And despite what we think about Tyreek and the way 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.880 he handled the year, he's still gonna get double coverage 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.160 a lot. Jayden Higgins out of Iowa State, I had 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.160 a really tough time on him at the Senior Bowl. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.000 I saw some reps where I thought, like, that movement 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.040 will play, but then I saw some reps where I'm like, 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.840 I don't think he can move well enough to shake free. 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.800 And you guys know how I feel about you know, 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:28.000 Keon Coleman. I just I can't put a figure on 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.520 it as far as how I can project the way 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.000 he moves with just my eyes. But then he gave 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.880 us the numbers to kind of back up what I 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.280 thought I was on tape. Potentially with the four four 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.040 seven at six foot four, two hundred and fourteen pounds, 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.880 a ten to eight broad, thirty eight inch vertical one 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:45.640 five to three ten splits, so he gets off the 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.720 ball quickly. I think between him and Besh and then 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.240 you get it a little bit with a little bit 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.760 less polish. With saving on Williams from TCU, you're gonna 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.280 have some Day two options to select big body wide 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.640 receivers without having to sacrifice on speed. Speaking of speed, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.880 my biggest folloer was Tesz Johnson from Oregon, and I 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.360 loved his tape in college. But he weighs as much 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.440 as I do, one hundred and fifty six pounds four 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.280 five six forty. I kind of can't believe it, and 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.440 he plays way faster on tape. In fact, his six 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.880 's eighty three three cone time that to me demonstrates 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.680 the slant routes that he would catch and take to 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.080 the house. And he had better long speed than what 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.400 he ran in Indy. I wouldn't be surprised if we 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.640 heard that he had some kind of ailment. But still 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.120 at one fifty six, dude, you got to go four two. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.000 Brother Jalen Nole from Iowa State. He made me run 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.880 to the tape immediately, and I kind of wanted to 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.200 like make a Keunny Steells comparison, but I think he's 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.800 like better, more explosive. He has the same like if 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.559 he's even he's leaving juice that both Reek and Waddle do. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.839 He glides around the field and can utilize that acceleration 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.120 from a stop and off of his brakes four to three, 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.800 nine one, five to ten split, forty one and a 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.280 half inch vertical, eleven to two, broad, six eight two 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.720 three comb. You can take away the tape and that's 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.760 gonna make him drafted on one hundred just on athletic 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.880 ability alone, and oh, by the way, twenty three reps 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.160 at two hundred and twenty five pounds on the bench press, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.840 he was best or tied for best in both jumps 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.120 and the bench with those time speeds. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:13.040 Wowsa. 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.040 Kyle Williams Washington State, Go Kooks. The tape is fantastic. 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.040 Just jumps off as a really good football player, but 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.720 I didn't know how well he was gonna run, and 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.240 he goes out there in blazes a four to four 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.360 to two. He wasn't great in the jumps, but he's 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.400 a polished route runner who I look at maybe early 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.800 day three is a really good option for the Miami Dolphins. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.319 And then receiver one for me is still Elik a 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.680 minor from Sanford. Four to four to seven was a 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.520 big win for him. He has the best release game 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.839 in the entire class, just as good top at the 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.400 top of the route. He gave Travis Hunter fits he 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.600 was ninetieth percentile in his jumps as well. One guy 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.480 that I thought confirmed what I thought I saw on 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.760 tape Pat Bryant from Illinois. He moves like a cargo barge, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.280 and we knew that from the tape. Tight ends Mason 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:58.560 Taylor from LSU man his gauntlet was an example of 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.760 an athlete who is perfectly in tune with the mechanics 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.320 of every body part that he has. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.000 And that's how you. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.240 Have to be that effortless glide. Right down that line, 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.400 I go back to a golf analogy. The reason that 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.080 golf is so hard is because your hands and your 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.760 hips incorporate two opposing forces simultaneously. Think about it as 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.600 a really dumb down version as patting your head while 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.640 rubbing your belly. It's like one of those things you 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:23.880 kind of have to think about, right. That's the golf swing. 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.120 That's athletes knowing how their body moves. And watching Mason 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:32.240 run around, I just see innate superior fundamentals at play always. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.199 That just tells me that he's put in his ten 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.280 thousand hours and quite frankly, I have connections that have 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.520 told me that as well, and he's just wrapped it 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.880 so frequently he can do it without thinking about it, 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.920 which is literally the key to doing it at the 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:48.120 NFL level. The Dolphins credo under Mike McDaniel has been fast, physical, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.200 elite technique. He's the quintessential example of all three of 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.280 those things. And again I'm close to Mason's circle. Believe 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.280 me when I tell you this. He is the real 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.640 deal as a person and how he works. Tyler Warren 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.679 is the apple of my eye for this offense. But 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.720 there's a good chance he's gone, and if he is, 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.160 I would go defense in that first pick and then 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.160 try whatever the hell I can do to get Mason 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.160 Taylor at forty eight or going up a little bit 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.720 to get him. Gunner Helm from Texas had a horrible 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.880 four to nine three forty that did not match his tape. 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.320 Then you find out that he sprained his ankle on 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.800 a false start for the before the first run, and 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.240 then went through the entire drill or the entire day 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.520 of workouts with that ankle injury. I bet he's a 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.000 four to six guy. His pro day. Jackson Hawes from 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.320 Georgia Tech did what he needed to do, probably the 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.080 best true why tight end outside of Tyler Warren in 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.000 this class, and he was above average in the upper 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.080 fiftieth percentile on the speed numbers, with eightieth percent tile 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.480 or more on the jumps and in the seventies of 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:44.160 this height and weight. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:45.920 That's a good day for Jackson Hawes. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.400 And then Jalen Conyers from Texas Tech ran a six 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.120 nine to four to three cone at two hundred and 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:55.360 sixty pounds. Only one tight end that had that weight 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.400 out of one hundred and forty nine of them since 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.800 nineteen ninety nine weighed that much and ran that fast. 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.520 That is you gotta make that comment. Also, please don't 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.640 ever talk to me about Harold Fan and Junior over 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.760 the next two months, please and thank you. I am 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.160 just not interested in someone who does not block and 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.280 runs a four to seven. Let's go ahead and finish 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.360 up on the offensive line where all you guys want 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.280 to talk about this. Tyler Booker was in the ninth 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.320 percentile of his ten split. I gotta say, look, I 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.240 appreciate everyone we get that comes on the show and 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.600 gives us their time and I talked about this with 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.840 the mina Chime segment, saying the Dolphins have to go 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.080 guard at number thirteen and mocking Tyler Booker to us. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.560 I had two big time draft analysts on the show 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.320 tell me that he made the most sense. I just 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.720 can't stress enough how far off that take is. It's 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.400 not gonna happen. I guarantee it Men's warehouse. Not only 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.840 has a guard never been drafted in the first round 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.320 in this offensive system, getting back to the nineteen eighties, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.840 you really think they're gonna take a guy that moves 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.920 that slow off the football. It's the antithesis of how 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.520 it's taught here. Just the ignorance on that topic drives 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.440 me insane. It's not gonna happen Will Campbell. If they're 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.840 gonna do it, it's this guy because he has rare, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.360 freaky movement skills. The seventy seven three eighth inch wingspan 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.200 is the smallest wingspan by a tackle since twenty eleven, 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.480 so he might have played himself out of that position 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.080 if he is a guard, though he is like Zach 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.200 Martin now he was eighty fifth percentile or better in 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.760 all the speed metrics, and his tape suggest the floor 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.240 is as high as anybody in this class that goes 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.280 to like ninety nine percent tile if he's at the 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.960 guard position. Miles Fraser from LSU, his teammate, is going 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.680 to go a lot higher than I would have thought 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.040 a month ago. This is probably my guy in the 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:37.960 class at this position, him and Jackson Slater. He's three 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.760 hundred and twenty pounds, had ninety percent tile jumps and 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.400 average speed metrics in the fifties. But I'm pairing that 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.520 with explosiveness with a true badass on tape, someone who 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.920 seriously wants to inflict pain on every d line he faces. 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:51.160 He's going to be a beast. 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:55.240 Probably have to use maybe that third round picking the 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.880 comp area to get him. How about Ariante Esri from Minnesota? 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.600 Probably my top choice if they go offensive line at thirteen, 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.320 because I think that Campbell will be gone. 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:07.280 I think that Membo will be gone. I also Josh. 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:08.719 Simmons is a guy that I like in that spot too, 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.480 But talk about a fit here man ninetieth percent tile 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.439 in both the ten and twenty splits. His forty was 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.280 also a ninetieth percent tile at three hundred and thirty 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.440 one pounds. Also, with his broad jump, he was ninety 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.880 percent tile. He also has the best tape of anybody 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.560 against Abdul Carter, Kelvin Banks. I'm kind of out on 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.359 Calvin Banks. He did not run nearly as well as 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.800 I thought he would, just seventy fifth percent tile and 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.520 the speed of the thirtieth percentile weight. 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:33.440 I would not like that pick. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.239 At thirteen at all, Hall and Pierce from Rutgers had 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.639 the second longest wingspan since nineteen ninety nine, eighty eight 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:41.840 and a quarter inch. He's six foot eight, three hundred 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.960 and forty pounds. I've never seen him play, so I 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.680 have no idea what his tape is like. And then 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.520 Membo ran a four to nine to one at three 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.359 thirty two, which is a surprise to nobody. Nine o 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.000 seven broad was the best among the group. He's explosive 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:54.600 as hell. He's going to be a top five pick 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.879 in my opinion. And then Gray's Abel from North Dakota 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.600 State followed an awesome senior Bowl with the best vert 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.439 of the group group thirty six and a half inches. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:01.960 So there you go. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:05.000 Combine notes in the book, We're gonna have EJ. Snider 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.040 on the podcast here in just one second to finish 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.359 out this show, and then Friday we'll have rht Lewis 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.640 on to finish up our combine chats. Let's go ahead 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.240 and take our first break right here. Draft Time Podcast, 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.800 your host Travis Wingfilm, brought to you by I Don't Knowation. 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.480 Joining me today is the other half of the Bootleg 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.480 Football podcast. We had Brett Coleman on earlier and now 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.800 I'm excited to be joined by his co host e J. 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:28.480 Snyder. 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.680
