It is 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.160 going to be here before we know at Zach will 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:29.560 Chuck alongside Nick Harris here on the Draft Show. It's 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:30.520 just the two of us. 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.199 Yeah. Yeah, we got everybody else out. We boxed them 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:33.519 all out. 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.880 Finally, now we can talk about Jalen Wright for sixty 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:36.440 straight minutes. 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:37.479 Let's excited, do it? 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.040 Jalen Wright and Bucky Irving. That is what we're going 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.200 to do for the next hour. Here of the Draft Show, 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.440 Brian Brought is taking the day to go fishing with 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.080 his son Bennett. I hope he enjoys that love that. 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.280 Hopefully Ayisha starts to feel better soon, of course. Kyle busy, 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.560 busy man. Busy busy man. That Kyle yeomens. But they'll 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.600 be rejoining us, I'm sure on Tuesday. But we had 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.560 some big news going down yesterday. I know you have 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.000 an article up on Dallas Cowboy Cowboys making a signing 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.240 Eric Kendricks, a linebacker. Big question now is that going 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.880 to change things from the draft. But what stands out 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.640 to you about the Cowboys signing Eric Kendricks, who certainly 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.959 has a good connection and familiarity with Mike Zimmer Cowboys 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:14.840 new defensive coordinator. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:16.679 Yeah, one hundred percent, just kind of walking you through 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.560 the day yesterday we were yesterday morning, we all woke 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.800 up thinking Eric Hendricks would be a San Francisco forty 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.280 nine or that was who he had agreed to join 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.920 whenever the legal tampering period was going on earlier in 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.120 the week. And then you know, as the day went on, 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.839 Mike Zimmer made a call and Eric Kendricks made a call, 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.440 and sure enough the two were able to agree on 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.680 a deal before last night. And when I walked out 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:42.840 of the building yesterday, there wasn't any buzz about anything. 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.000 That's why I left the building. 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.720 And when I was on my way home on the road, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.600 Eric Kendricks news drops. So these things come together fast, 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.440 and this was definitely one that I think helps the 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.920 Cowboys in the long run. For sure, we know that 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.000 they needed a presence there in the second level, and 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.960 not only a presence, but they needed a big, reliable 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.000 tackler and a guy that can stop the run. 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.080 Eric Hendricks is on the back half of his career. 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:04.760 I think I think. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.280 Everybody can agree on that his best football is behind him, 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.560 but that doesn't mean that he cannot be productive for 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.239 this defense. And they just need somebody to fill those 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.000 gaps and stop the run. That's all they need a 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.040 linebacker to do there in the second level. I think 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.480 Eric Kendricks gives them that they didn't have it last year. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.600 I think if you throw a presence like Eric hendrickson 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.760 for the playoff game against Screen Bay, I'm not saying 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.840 it's a different result, but they're having to change some 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.760 things with that running game. Aeron Jones probably doesn't have 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.600 as productive of a day as he'd had. Eric Hendricks 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.160 comes to the Cowboys eight straight seasons with one hundred 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.079 plus tackles. In that same stretch, the Cowboys have only 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.680 had nine one hundred plus tacklers. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.400 So that's an amazing STATA think it what? 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.760 Yeah? Yeah, a lot of those are safeties too, which 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.520 is why half of those are safeties. 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.680 But struggled with injuries, you know, you've had a lot 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.040 of mistime at that position. 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.360 Yeah, I think for Eric Hendricks, we're talking about on 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.760 field presence. We're talking about the run stopping, we talk 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.960 about filling the gaps. I'm talking about leadership aspect as well, 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.000 not only having the rapport with Mike Zimmer that he'll 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.360 be able to kind of bring in and be that 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.880 symmetry with the defense, to be able to, you know, 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.639 kind of a force of smooth transition with those guys. 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.600 He can quarterback that defense. He knows what that defense is. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.480 He played in it for eight seasons under Mike or 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.440 seven seasons under Mike Zimmer in Minnesota. He was drafted 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.720 by Mike Zimmer. Those two have a really good relationship, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.280 and I think he's going to be an extension of 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.480 what Mike Zimmer can bring to this defense in twenty 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:23.040 twenty four. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.440 I think that's probably the most. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.480 Important piece that he brings, is that leadership aspect and 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.200 making all eleven guys around him better. He's going to 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.680 be a great locker room guy. The media is going 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.840 to love him. He's a great interview too. I'm excited 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.960 to see what Eric Hendrick brings to this building against 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:40.800 His best football is behind him, but I think he 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.560 can bring a lot to this team next year. 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:47.120 Well, you mentioned the IQ, the ability to readiagnose react certainly. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.920 Maybe is he a step slower than he was in 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.880 his twenty nineteen All Pro season? Yeah, absolutely, you could 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.240 look at that. But I think for me, the big 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.960 thing that jumps out is, you know Zim's introductory pressure, 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.720 what did he talk about? He wants to get everybody 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.360 speaking the same language. Eric Kendricks is going to help 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.760 be a player on the field that outside of the 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.120 coaching staff, he can get everybody on the same page 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.720 speaking that same language. Maybe he wears the green dot 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.840 defensively as well. So now the big question will be, 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.840 and I know you mentioned you've gotten that a lot. 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.520 I've seen that too, does this end up changing the 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:21.040 Cowboys plans in the NFL draft with linebacker? You got 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.360 de Moone Clark, You've got Eric Kendricks, you got Micah 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.200 I mean, do you want to play him more off ball? 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:31.040 You certainly still have Demarvin overshown, but expecting most likely 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.320 Layton Vanderesh not to be a part of this thing. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.880 And then Mark e Spell does he shift back to safety? 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.080 I think absolutely linebacker is still in play in the draft. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.880 Yeah, absolutely, it is talking about the linebacker room really quick. 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.560 You mentioned to Marvin Overshown coming back from that ACL injury. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.560 The expectation is that he'll be back in time for 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.440 training camp, so he'll be able to step into that 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.640 second level and not only bring youth, but I think 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.040 he brings a little bit of a creative experience as 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.320 well from his days at Texas because he played in 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.279 the third level, he played in the second level, he 0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:59.960 lined up off the edge as a pass rush. I mean, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.560 he has so much knowledge of the of the game 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.440 on the on the defensive side of the ball. He's 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.240 already clicking with Mike Zimmer. I think he's going to 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:07.960 bring an added element to the defense and I think 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.120 some people might forget about not Texas fans, though I 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:10.560 know they're not. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:11.160 Uh. 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.920 And then Demon Clark being able to bring what he 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.840 brought last year bringing that back Layton vanderresh A decision 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.600 is not made yet with with his future. There's still 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.280 a lot of back and forth as far as medical 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.680 opinions and things of the sort going on there. We'll 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.760 see how his future plays out. But with or without 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.520 Layton vander sh I think Eric Kendricks does bring that 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.760 that that middle linebacker presence that you do need and 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:36.000 its reliability. But talking about the draft specifically, they're going 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.320 to go get another linebacker. We look at the depth. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.880 When only one healthy linebacker is left on the fifty 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.800 three man roster at the end of the season, you 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:44.880 got to go get multiple. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.440 It's not just going to be Eric Kendricks. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.640 Only two thirty visits have been reported so far, and 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.960 it's Trevin Wallace linebacker out of Kentucky and Edrin Cooper 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.599 linebacker out of Texas A and M. So if both 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.680 of those guys that they're going to be in the building, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.920 they're they are going to be looking at them really hard. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.960 In the draft. They are going to go get another guy. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.320 Does it become less of a priority maybe because you 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.480 look at the tackle position, you look at the center position, 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.680 running back. Those positions need to get addressed. So it 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.800 may not be a Day two position anymore. It could be, 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.360 but it may not be anymore. It gives you a 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.479 little bit more flexibility there, but you still have to 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:18.719 go get another body in that room. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.279 Yeah, you absolutely do. And I think that's interesting with 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.480 Eddrian Cooper. I think we're both on the same page, 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.640 and I think everybody here on the Draft show, there's 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.800 not a first round linebacker that we look at and say, Okay, 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.240 I mean maybe, you know, if Peyton Wilson were healthy, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.880 we said that a bunch maybe if Peyton Wilson were healthy, 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.320 he'd be your guy. But I do think that this 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.200 looks like, okay, how the Cowboys board is falling. It's 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.719 probably offensive line in my opinion. In the first round. 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.120 Running back is still definitely a need that maybe you 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.120 prioritize ahead of linebacker now, but third round you could 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:50.880 look at it. Fourth round, I think there's going to 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.360 be some options. We've talked about it with Tommy Eikenberg 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.480 from Ohio State. Could be a name, Jalen Ford out 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.320 of Texas. Which range is he going to go? He 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.240 could be in that third fourth round range. Tyron Hopper 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.120 Massoo linebacker, which we could talk a little bit about. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:05.960 I know you mentioned that was a formal visit, yeah, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.040 for the Cowboys there at the Combine, and you know, 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:10.200 he's a player. I don't know if we've really brought 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.280 him up and talked about him a ton. I was 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.680 watching him after you mentioned that he was a formal visit. 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.040 That's a dude that's got coverage ability, He's got speed, 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.480 he's got some instincts. There's a lot to like about 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.040 his game as well. And then we mentioned a lot 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.720 during you know, the Shrine Bowl and the Senior Bowl. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.440 Darius Muissow of UCLA is another very instinctive player that 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.080 you could get there at day three. So there's a 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.960 lot of options to where now you probably don't have 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.400 to press at the position, but there's players that you 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:36.880 still like that could come in and give you some 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:37.800 added depth and value. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:38.040 Yeah. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.960 Talking about Tyron Hopper, I compared him to Mike mcfatten 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.240 and of the New York Giants on my notes here. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.440 Really long frame that I think is it really shows 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.400 up in open field tackling, and you need a guy 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.560 that can be reliable and tackling in that second level. 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.080 He probably lacks the instincts that you want there in 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.000 the second level. He doesn't feel run lanes correctly every 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.600 single time. But I think having a presence like Eric 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.640 Kendrick or DeMont Clark to Marvin Overshown, that's going to 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.440 help increase that and get that better for Hopper, that's 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.360 coaching and that can get better as time goes on. 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.720 I bank on those traits. I bank on that length 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.200 and athleticism. Yeah, I think Tyron Hopper would be a 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:17.000 great addition to this linebacker room. But there's going to 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.560 be options there on Day three. If they feel like 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.560 they need to wait until Day three to go get 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.880 that linebacker to add in that room, I mean there's 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.920 still gonna be some guys. I mean you mentioned Jalen Ford, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.960 a potential around three round four option. Trevin Wallace, as 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.640 we mentioned, is a top thirty visits. That's a Day 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.120 three guy. John Trey Hunter out of Georgia State, that's 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.560 a guy I've really enjoyed watching. And Nathaniel Watson out 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:40.400 of Mississippi State was a first team l secer last 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.040 year for the Bulldogs and being able to be there 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.839 in that second level and be really productive. You want 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.400 to get a productive guy who played in a good 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.600 conference as Nathaniel Watson, and then Tyrese Knight, one of 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.160 the more athletic linebackers in the class out of futen 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.440 So and then one other formal meeting that they had 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.520 that's kind of in that Day three range from Washington 0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.840 edufuan Ulafohio. 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:01.120 I got thrushed in. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.760 I think I did. So we're just gonna roll with it. 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.800 But that's another guy that they're looking at there in 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:05.480 that day three range. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.520 Yeah, that's an interesting name as well. I mean you 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.920 mentioned more on Hopper three seasons of Florida transfer there 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.560 to Missou and he trusted it. When you talk about 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.680 athleticism scores at the Combine, he had the third best 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.840 overall athletic score bunk linebackers of the Combine long fast. 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.679 I think I agree with what you see there when 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.160 it comes to the instincts, there were times I felt 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.920 like he's a little hesitant because he doesn't trust his 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.440 eyes and what he's seeing. It's like he's got the 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.680 athletic ability to be there, he sees it. He just 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.000 takes a beat a little late to process at times, 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.760 and he gets a little lost when he's having to 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.079 play in zone. But really good athlete. I think I've 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.400 got a five on him, so you could definitely get 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.520 him day three. But there's options there. I don't think 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.440 that this changes things at all at linebacker. And again, 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.880 like in the second round, we'll go through some options here. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.880 I went through and found three different mock draft scenarios. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.920 What would we like, I mean, if somebody's sitting there 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.520 in the second or third round, if it's a junior 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.760 Colton from Michigan or you know, an and Edgrin Cooper 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.280 from Texas A and M. If he's the best player 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.000 on your board there at fifty six, I don't think 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.960 the Cowboys you're saying, oh no, Eric Kendricks is not Yeah, 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:09.480 We're not going to go ahead and pull the trigger 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.280 if they really like a guy like Edrian Cooper. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.280 From the day and M I agree. 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.800 I think if Cooper's there at fifty six, that's almost 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.880 like a BPA type pick that you would have to 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.360 be able to make impair him in that room. Now, 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.000 it kind of depends on what you do in the 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.440 first round. We've talked about either tackle or center, and 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.720 as free agency plays out, we're starting to get a 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.920 clear picture of what exactly is going to be upfront 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.719 next season. I still feel like tackle is the more 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.520 bigger priority for me. You know, you have guys at 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.800 center that can compete with each other and step in 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.320 and get that starting opportunity. I don't feel like you 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.280 have that at left tackle right now. Will it be 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.440 perfect at center, absolutely not, and there's a good chance 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:47.960 that doesn't work out, But I think it's a better 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.679 chance it works out then if you roll out, what's 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.439 there at left tackle? So for me, it's left tackle 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.080 in the first round. Absolutely got to be able to 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:56.320 have a guy that can plug and play. 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:57.520 There's a couple of options. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.680 I think they're going to have to be really open 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:03.319 mind as far as swift switching guys from right tackle 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.040 to left tackle. You look at Tyler Gueyton, you look 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:06.800 at Marius Mint and what they have brought to their 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.880 respective teams. Do you feel comfortable moving them to left tackle. 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.080 That'd be a question that they would have to ask themselves. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.560 We've talked about Jordan Morgan's short arms. Do it very 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.199 comfortable leaving him out there at left tackle with guys 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.600 that can get on his chest pretty easily? 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.400 A lot of teams. I wonder if the Cowboys look 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.160 at him as a guard and not a tackle. 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.000 Yeah, it's it's certainly a question, and we talked a 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.880 lot about it on Tuesday on the show. I think 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.760 whatever team does draft him, they're gonna have to be 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.600 okay with guys getting up on his chest, and they're 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.959 gonna have to be okay with his power. If he can, 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.640 if he can be able to mitigate that that deficiency. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.920 But I think with Jordan Morgan, he still does have 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.959 the athleticism if he wanted to play out of tackle. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:43.959 But for me, he's a guard. 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.480 I would rather see him at guard there in that 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.400 phone booth type type range. But going back to priorities 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.600 as far as first round goes, I'd be okay with 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.000 the center if they drafted them, if they drafted one 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.160 in the first round, but get that tackle, especially in 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.160 this tackle class, make sure you get a good one 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:00.800 that can step in it left tackle. I think you 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.640 can figure out center either as the draft goes on 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.880 or as a preseason goes on. 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.400 With the two guys you got, I'm with you. I 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.160 just feel forty two days away the closer we get 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.160 that pick at twenty four. Unless you just completely get wiped, 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.240 it's going to be an offensive tackle. And the two 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.839 guys that I think I'm kind of looking at that 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.520 they're probably gonna take would be Geidon Tyler Guiden from Oklahoma. 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.000 But if Amarus Mims is there out of Georgia, yeah, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.679 I think that's the pick. The problem is, I think 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.160 a Marius Mims my Texas tested his way into the 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.480 top fifteen picks. I think there's a team that is 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.400 looking at Amarus Mims and saying this could be the 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.440 best tackle four years from now in a very rich 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.160 tackle draft, and they're gonna go ahead and say he's 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.320 too good to pass up. The one that's interesting to 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.240 me if you were to fall is JC Latham out 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.600 of Alabama. Because Latham, to me is a true right tackle. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.920 Do they feel as though you could kick him over 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.320 to the left side. I just wonder if he's athletic enough. 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:56.280 I love him, I absolutely do super consistent, beautiful kickout 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.240 lateral movement. I think you can play a little high 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.800 at times and depending on hand positioning, can get caught 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.240 on the outside. But he is nasty. Absolutely love his 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.080 play temperament that I think you can kick inside to 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.280 guard more so than I think he could play left tackle. 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.480 That's a big question with JAYC. Latham. I wonder if 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.800 he's him and Kingsley shuaim At tiad A Byu I 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.560 think are the two guys I'm looking at and saying, man, 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.840 I think they might have to stay on the right side. 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.360 Yeah, it's a little difficult too, and I think this 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.720 is really where the scouts will be tested as far 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.560 as is there a guy that you see that has 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.320 played right tackle mostly during his college career that you 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.120 can feel comfortable playing on the left side. I mean, 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.880 you mentioned Kingsley, Sue Mattia, you got Tyler Giden, you 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:39.160 got let's see Amarus Mims, jayc Latham, I mean Talisi Fuaga, 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.040 I mean all these guys primarily right tackle during their days. 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.480 I mean, you can look at Patrick Paul if you 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.360 feel comfortable moving on him in the second round. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.040 I know we've talked about him. There isn't as much 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:47.720 comfort there. 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.520 Jordan Morgan primarily left tackle, but we talked about the 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.839 short arms a little bit. Graham Barton primarily left tackle 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.920 at Duke, but he's an interior guy. We've talked about 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.480 him as a center option and feeling comfortable with him 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.680 being a center option. So there's going to be a 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.800 lot that's going to be falling on these scouts as 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.840 far as looking at these tackles and seeing what they 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.439 seeing what they do at right tackle that can translate 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.200 to the left side and they can swing one. 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.080 Of the other positions that I wonder if for you, 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.360 if you're thinking, Okay, we've talked about tackle, We've talked 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.160 about center. How much of a pressing need is running 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.000 back now becoming. With Tony Pollard gone to the Tennessee 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.920 Titans in free agency, Cowboys still have not made a 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.480 move at running back right now. Technically, Rico Daubel is 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.920 still a free agent and out there and available. Is 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.080 running back depending on what happens between now and the 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.040 NFL Draft, becoming more of a pressing need to wear. Hey, 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.320 at fifty six in the second round, there's a trade 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.000 Benson from Florida State. Maybe you love Jonathan Brooks and 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:42.960 they know more about the medical than any other team 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.200 in the National Football League since their team doctor did 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.800 that surgery. If they want him, they go ahead and say, hey, 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.400 running back now is becoming more of a priority on 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:50.840 our board. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.240 Yeah, and I think so, regardless of what happens here 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:54.680 in free agency, you're going to have to go get 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.200 one in the draft, you would think. And as these 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.640 days go on and these big running back come off 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.000 the board, and you know, we talked about Zach Moss 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.600 a little bit on the show these last few meet 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.720 He was that dude that that was my guy as 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.440 far as and his price went a little bit higher 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.960 than the Cowboys expected. They were involved in those conversations 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.280 up up until the very end, but eventually ended up 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.120 with the Cincinnati Bengals on a four million dollars a 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:17.720 year deal. 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.360 So now you're looking at guys like JK. Dobbins. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.280 Are you comfortable with him coming off of all those injuries? 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.080 Clyde Edwards, E Lair hasn't really been productive as a 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.480 first round pick out of Kansas City, but it's still 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:33.520 young at twenty four, Deonta Foreman, Ezekiel Elliott, Return, Alexander Madison. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.120 I mean, so there's still some young guys in the 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.560 free agent market, but regardless, you're gonna have to go 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.520 draft a guy that you can develop around whatever free 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.840 agent pickup that you do make, because you need a 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.960 young guy on a young contract for four years that 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:47.840 can come in and be ready to bring you explosion 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:48.720 out of that backfield. 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.000 That's what Dak Prescott needs, us, what this offense needs. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.320 Good thing is and we've mentioned maybe not as good 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.640 of a running back class as last year, but there's 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.160 guys we like Jalen Wright. We joked about that out 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.280 at Tennessee. Love him in the third round. If he 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.640 were there, I would pull the trigger brayln Allen. Another 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.840 guy that they talked with ATA Wisconsin big back six ' 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.920 to two, Isaac Garndo out of Louisville. I think his 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.200 gain in steam throughout this process than otdteric estimate, of 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.280 course had a notre dame. I think he's also a 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.200 very very intriguing player, A guy that I have seen 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.480 and I know after the combine has got a lot 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.920 of buzz is Tyrone and Tracy Junior from Purdue, and 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.120 I'm not sure how much we've really given him time 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.360 and talked about him on the draft show. That's a 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.760 guy converted wide receiver, just spent his first year at 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.680 running back, sixth year senior, spent his last two years 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.040
