And as we give people 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.720 a chance to get in there and start asking some 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:32.640 of their questions in general this time of year, what 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.080 are some of the things going on that people might 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.519 not know about in relation to the draft? And you know, 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.840 we hear so much about some of these top round prospects, 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.800 but there's a lot of you know, things for the 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.120 later rounds and some of these other prospects going on. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:45.680 I'll answer that question. But look, I think that they're 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.680 trying to do a Tampa Bay chant there sy that. 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.919 Oh I like that. That's that's a great idea. I'm 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:51.839 a fan of that. Uh And I saw some gold 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.720 buckshop getting fired up for the season, I think. So 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.920 I've seen that people seem really excited, especially about the 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.200 new coaching staff. I think that everybody is really pumped out. 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.319 And I'll enter your question first, but we can talk 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.240 about like the stuff that Chris Godwin and Jameis Winston 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.840 said on Tuesday as well. It was kind of, you know, 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.720 stuff that can get some fans pumped up, I think. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.000 But yeah, one of the things that you do every 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.520 year before the draft is each team gets to hold 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:18.440 a workout at their place of thirty players draft prospects 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.000 that are considered local. That means either played high school 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.039 ball here or they went to a school somewhat nearby. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:27.319 We also get some Florida, some Miami. I don't know 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:28.920 how they split that up, because you would think Florida 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.959 would be Jacksonville, right, But maybe they figured that's just 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.600 too unfair to give them all the Florida guys. But 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.200 we will. We don't put the list out of who's 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.679 coming until the morning because it tends to be fluid 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:41.400 and some guys will drop off and come back on 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.640 et cetera. So I don't have the names to give 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.200 you yet. Or I can't give them out yet. But 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.640 if you're interested in who's gonna be here, um, just 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.480 come to the site. I'll be posting it on Friday 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.680 morning and you'll get a look at some of those names. 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.720 And and that's like what you just said, a lot 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.760 of these names are not going to be terribly familiar 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.600 to Bucks fans unless they also having to be a 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.160 fan of Central Florida or whatever. You know, but are 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.200 guys that you might end up drafting in the seventh 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.880 round or you might be forming relationship with. So when 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:06.480 you call them after the draft and you're trying to 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.120 get them to come as an undrafted free agent, uh, 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:10.880 you know you have sort of already started a base 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.000 their lationship and you have a better better field for 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.600 how they play. And and that's important because I mean, 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.920 I know you've seen it. After the draft, all the 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.799 scouts and the coaches like wandering the halls on their 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.920 cell phones, trying to get a distance from each other 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.000 because they're all having the same sort of conversation trying 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.440 to get these priority free ages to come here because 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.000 they generally have a couple options, right, and we know 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.080 from experience how important that is now is this the 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.120 guy that this got on going to make the team. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.600 I mean, chances are no, but somebody's going to make 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.280 the team group and somebody ends up being Adam Humphries. Yeah, 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.720 you know, it's a great point. Happens all the time. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.680 Somebody ends up being DeMar Dotson has been our starting 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.840 right tackle for like eight years. Yeah, something interesting about 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.280 him is I Actually we've been in the in the 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.120 weight room and watching the guys, you know, working out 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.400 right now Phase one. They're all just doing some you know, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.120 conditioninging and string stuff. Yeah, I know, right, Um, I'm 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:57.880 doing the I'm working on my next case. He's vlog 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.400 which shameless plugs stay tuned for that. In So, I've 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.120 been in there getting some footage while they're working out, 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:03.680 and I just decided to ask. You know, Evan Smith 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.639 throws up ridiculous weight and so I asked him, Hey, 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.200 are you the strongest guy on the team? And he's like, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.840 I mean, I'm definitely top five. Like, I don't know 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.160 exactly how you'd compare everything, he said, but you know who, 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.959 like if someone who really just decided they wanted to 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.600 see how much they could lift and worked at it, 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.000 he said, the strongest guy on the team would be 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:22.520 DeMar Dotson, and I said six nine blanky long art, Like, 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.960 usually it's the short guys that are good at lifting 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.160 because it's not a real long breath you have to do. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.520 I was like, at six nine, that's a and he said, yeah, 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:35.120 he's like he is just ridiculously strong naturally. And I 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.640 thought that was really interesting that, you know, just kind 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.720 of a cool fact about him that like they all 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.960 in the weight room were looking at tomorrow like, dang, 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:43.920 that's impressive. Another cool fact he had to go to 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.920 a tryout first before he even got a shot. Yeah, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.640 so as did Adam Humphries because as most people know, UM, 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.360 DeMar didn't even play football until his senior year at 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.000 Southern Miths and then he was I think he played 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.680 six games and they were as a defensive lineman. So 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.160 UM brought him in here because people, you know, all 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.320 the size, he's got quick feet. Maybe he could be 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.480 an offensive lineman, but you know that most of the 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.520 time those things don't work out, but there's a chance 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.680 that they can you can turn into that that's really true. 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.360 Um Brandon was asking if there's any update on back 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.920 with He said he's watching from Greenville, Alabama. And I've 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.960 seen a lot of questions about Alabama. Greenville its green Boa, 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:24.120 Alabama actually exists. Oh that's funny. Um, so yeah, he 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.360 wants to know back with and I've seen a lot 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.520 of people asking about this and and not just if 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.040 there is an update, but when we would even know 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.000 an update. We should know soon. And the reason I 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.800 say that is that at the combine of Jason Light 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.040 was asked about that and he said, I don't really 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.320 have an update for you now, but um, we hope 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.720 in about a month. And then at the NFL's league meetings, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.960 which was not a month later, but close to him 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.360 month later, Um, I think it was I'm not sure 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.720 if it was Jason or coach Arians, but one of 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.360 them was asked about it and said, we still don't 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.760 have any update for you, but it should be pretty soon. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.640 So I'm sorry. I know that's kind of the answer 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.680 we've given every time we've been asked about it. But 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.080 we can't just make it up out of thin air. 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.640 We have to wait until the tea is ready to 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.960 say something, and we've been told it'll be soon. It 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.919 would be, I think it would be. It would certainly 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.440 behoove the team to know his status and what you 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.000 expect he can do this year before the draft. That 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.960 could affect the draft decision. That doesn't mean that the 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.360 team has to let everybody know, so potentially they could 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.280 wait until after the draft. But I don't know that 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.599 he just you know, the terms haven't been too specific. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.760 We should be able to tell you more soon soon. Yeah, 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:27.720 and who knows, And maybe that's something to do. I mean, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.760 they just started going on on the field and so 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.680 far it's just been conditioning work, right right, so maybe 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.040 when they actually start doing some position drills, still have 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.240 a better idea. And that's phase two, right, Yeah, that's 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.520 phase two and that should start next next week. Yes, yeah, yeah, Okay, Um, 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.280 I'm sure I'm gonna butcher this name. I think it's 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.520 he on uh asked? Is there any chance we draft Haskins? 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.160 And I think I'm gonna add to this what I've 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.120 seen some a few other questions ask of just in 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.320 general drafting a quarterback and how high or how low 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:56.920 if we were to draft one, where do you think 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.599 you know? Is that is that a thing that could happen? 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.839 And where in the draft if did with that most 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:02.840 likely No, I don't think that we would draft Wayne 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.920 Haskins because I do not think we would use that 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.520 for it would have to be that first pick because 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.479 he's considered a top ten pick, and even if he 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.160 does slide a bit, he's gonna be drafted in the 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.360 first round. And you know, from everything that Bruce arians 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.000 has said since the moment you got the job, that 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.480 at least for two nine and that's not the way 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.760 he put it, but that's the fact that Jameis is 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.000 in his last year of his contract in nineteen, at 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.040 least for two thousand nineteen. This team is very much 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.040 committed to Jameis Winston and believes that he can be 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.960 the guy to really take this offense to another level. Right, 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.520 So it would really surprise me, and I mean this 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.280 is fairly common sense. You'd probably say the exact same thing, 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.680 that you would use your first round pick on another quarterback, 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.359 a quarterback of the future, when you have potentially already 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.680 a quarterback in the future here and you have a 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.640 lot of needs. I mean, right now, I'm torn between 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.480 the fact that everybody's a lot of mock drafters are 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.960 projecting us to take the LC linebacker Devin White I 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.600 would love to have Devin White on this team. I 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.240 think that would be a great addition. But if you 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.080 take him five, then you can't get one of these 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:00.520 great pass rushers that are available. So I'm torn right 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.320 now about which one of those two things to get, 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.920 and to take a quarterback instead of either one of them. Yeah, 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.440 I'm not so sure on that now. There just the 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.279 rest of the question is would you take one later 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.880 in the draft, And that's obviously just going to come 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.360 down to what's available. I don't think you would take 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.400 it on the first or second day, but if there's 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.400 something they like in the fifth, six, or seventh round, 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:23.680 it certainly possible. I don't think it's a priority, it's possible. Uh. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.120 Michael said, Um, do you think that we're going to 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.600 draft Devin White or someone else at five or trade back? Yeah, 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.920 We're definitely gonna do one one of those things, you think. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.880 I think that there actually is a relatively good chance that, um, 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.400 you could trade back if you're talking about a trade 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.560 of five to seven spots maybe, and you can get 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.560 a pretty good return from moving from five down to 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:46.720 ten or twelve. I mean you easily get a second 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.080 round pick and you might even get like another pick 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.720 next year. For that. I've looked at some similar deals 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.160 and you could get like a second this year in 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.480 the first next year. Because teams a five, the drop 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.000 off from five to twelve is considered pretty big in 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.640 terms of the draft value chart. And also a team 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.640 trading up to five at least this year is clearly 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.720 gonna be trading up to get a quarterback, and teams, 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.440 as you saw with Buffalo and even Arizona last year, 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.160 they give up a lot to get that quarterback, more 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.640 so than they would just to get the next best 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.600 pass rusher, and like Buffalo traded twice and traded a 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.880 ton of picks plus a starting offensive tackle just to 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.640 get in position to get Josh Allen year. So there'll 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:24.720 be a premium paid if somebody's trading up to five 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.200 to get a quarterback. And so here's what happened, you're 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.000 at five. Let's I think what it is probably is 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.040 they'll have a couple of players that they're absolutely in 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.959 love with. Just like last year. I think if um 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.439 Bradley Chub or Quentin Nelson had lasted the seven, I 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.360 think we would have picked him, but when they didn't, 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.120 we traded back. I think it's the exact same or 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.920 very similar scenario. Probably have a couple of guys, and 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:46.360 I'm just gonna throw a name out there because I 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.920 like the guy Josh Allen was there. Josh Allen calls five, 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.400 we're definitely taking and forget it, we're not taking any calls. However, 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.200 if he's gone, we like these two linebackers like st. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.760 Devin White and Devon Bush, and these four or five 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.200 defensive lineman and we think any one of them would 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.840 be a great addition. If that's the case, it makes 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.640 a ton of sense of trade back. You gotta find 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.920 a trade partner something. He's gonna want a quarterback badley, 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.200 But I think a trade is a very big possibility. Okay, 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.520 um Rob said, if we're switching to a three four 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.080 defense and we already have Vida veo, why is there 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.080 so much talk about drafting a d tackle. Well, I 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.400 know three four. You you hear the positions, and you 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.920 hear there's one defensive tackle and two defensive ends. But 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.960 those defensive ends are really kind of like defensive tackles 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.640 because they play inside the tackles, right, they don't play uh, 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.480 they don't play outside on the edge like five technique, 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.120 they play inside. So players that you would call a 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.880 defensive tackle like a Jeral McCoy in a four three 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.080 are just called defensive ends in this so you you 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.040 still need another stout guy at least one more for 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.720 the interior there. So it just you gotta you gotta 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.439 not worry so much about the names of these positions. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:54.160 Right like, whether we're calling Carl Nassa a linebacker defense end, 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.480 we know he's mostly gonna be rushing the pass or 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.840 might drop into coverage JPP. We might call him a linebacker, 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.760 but he's most gonna rush the passer, probably won't drop 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.440 into coverage. A whole lot that kind of thing. So 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.280 you know, Lavonte David is now going to be called 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.800 an inside linebacker when we've called him an outside lineberger, 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.640 but it's still pretty much the same job. Yes, we 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.000 are switching to a three four. We've talked about that 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.160 a lot, but every time you hear Todd Bowl's talk 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.079 about it, he says, you know, teams do a lot 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.600 of different fronts and things that are called the three four. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.920 Sometimes they look like a four three over under stuff 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.920 like that. So, um, you still, let's take an example 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.800 quinnin Williams. He said, why would we drift to know 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.880 defensive tackle if you had a shot at Quinn and Williams, 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:36.120 this is a disruptive, very disruptive interior player that's gonna 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.000 work on a three four or four three front next 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.559 to you to or not next to right. Okay, that's 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.000 a great point. I love this next question. It's I 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.880 don't know that anyone's ever asked us this before, and 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.319 I think it's really smart. Kevin said, with the preseason 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.880 schedule released, what is the best team to see how 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.600 the new defensive scheme will work? Isn't that a good question? Yeah? Well, 0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:00.600 so we have Miami, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Cleveland, Cleveland. Um, 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.800 you know, I suppose when you're playing Pittsburgh you'll be 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.520 able to compare ours to theirs because they're a very 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.679 traditional three or four. That is a clever question, but 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.800 it's hard to think of what the criteria would be. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.760 I guess you'd want a team with a good defensive 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:18.199 line that has experienced playing against a three four, A 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.360 good offensive line, right, Yeah, somebody that has a good 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.400 offensive line and either has a really good run game 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.320 or a really good pass game. Yeah. First of all, 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.320 they're kind of a team on the rise. I know 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.480 they have some good defensive or offensive lineman um. And 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.080 they have to pay face Pittsburgh every year twice, so 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.920 they should be familiar with trying to defend a three four. Yeah. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.600 So there's one and and the good thing about that 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.320 is that's the third game and tier at home, which 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.040 is always good to get the third preseason game at 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.160 home because that's the one where the Stars play the most. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.520 It's the most interesting game. And so we got Cleveland 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.520 at home for that one. And uh, there there's my answer. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.960 By the way, we've never played Dallas in the preseason 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.959 before I was wondering about that. I knew, I knew 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.160 it hadn't even since I've been here. But that's not 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.240 very long compared to the whole the organization. You know, 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.280 you used to you used to it was kind of 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.680 like scheduling your nonconference college games. Teams used to schedule 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.720 their own. You would just get with another team, and 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.640 sometimes you do a multi year contract, like in two 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.960 thousand two when Houston first came in the league, we 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:14.880 set up an eight year run with him, or just 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.440 alternated back and forth state eight straight preseasons, but the 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.480 league is involved now and you can make requests, but 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.960 they tell you who you get. So there's some different 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:27.480 matchups that teams would normally have called before. Um Kevin 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.360 had also asked, would Vita make a good defensive end 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.120 in the three four defense scene? As how he showed 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.200 off some decent speed last year. They're going to play anybody. 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.640 Any of the down linemen in this defense are going 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.679 to have times where they where they are playing what 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.600 you would call a defensive end in a three four. 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.720 It's going to happen, absolutely right, um Louise asked, is 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.520 ed drusher or a linebacker the more urgent need right now? 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.640 That's the question, right, And that's what I was alluding 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.360 to earlier, And I would just it's too bad we 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.360 don't have a fifth and the sixth picks right right. 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.320 That's why, because I'm torn because everything you read and 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.120 everything you see on this Devin White kid, he looks 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.760 like you could be a superstar, And why wouldn't you 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.079 want that in the middle? Wouldn't want Leavonte David and 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.160 that guy together? But then this is could be. Now, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.480 you never know, all these guys could bomb, but this 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.760 could be a historically good line or draft for ed rushers, 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.920 and you're picking five in that type of draft. It 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.079 just almost seems like a lost opportunity to me if 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.120 you don't grab a Josh Ellen or Montez sweater at 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.520 Oliver or somebody like that. Right Um Jeffrey asked, we've 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.760 thinned out at kick return punt return options. Are they 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.360 high on our current talent on the roster or should 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.360 we expect that to be a factor in some of 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.199 the draft picks or guys brought on. Yeah, that could 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:43.959 see that a later round draft pick, maybe on a 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.440 receiver who also has some return skills. We've tried that 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.160 a couple of times and then not too distent pass 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:53.920 and nothing really panned out. Um. At the scouting combine, 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.240 Bruce mentioned Dario goomble Wally as a potential guy to 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.679 return kickoffs. As for punts, he said, really, it's we're 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.520 gonna find out. We just we just don't know yet. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:04.600 It could be a matter of them getting out there 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.200 on the field and seeing what they think of something 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.120 like I'll just throw any like Bobo Wilson, Like, they 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.040 may find out that Bobo Wilson I thought he was 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.800 good on kick return. Yeah, I would agree with that. Michael, 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.199 who's watching from Georgia, said, well, we draft running back. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.680 I'm not I'm not sold that it's an absolute definite thing. Um, 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.400 I don't think we do it in the first round. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.040 I don't even think we do it in the second 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.800 round unless, like let's say, Josh Jacobs is considered the 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.160 best one falls all the way to there. That's possible. Yeah, 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.320 I think there's a chance for that, sure, And I 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.560 would think and again when we talk, when we say 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.720 these things, remember this is just my opinion. I'm not 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.560 parenting anything that necessarily Bruce or Jason light thinks or 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.080 is their strategy what they're going for. But um, you 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.760 might look for a guy a little later in the draft. 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:56.520 Um who maybe he's a smaller, quicker, change a pace 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.480 guy that could be a pass catcher out of backfield. Um, 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.120 you know, we signed Andre Ellington, but there's you know, 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.720 we don't know yet if he's still the same player 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.280 he was when he was pretty productive in that role 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.440 for Bruce arians in Arizona, and so to have another 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.440 option for that could be a good idea. Okay, we'll 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.680 close it this one. Uh C J. Who's watching them 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.520 from New York said, what do you think the biggest 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.760 needs will be on day two? Um, And then he said, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.720 should all the national hype of the Bucks needing a 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.960 running back actually be believed? So it's kind of with 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.160 what we're discussing, but just in general the day too. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.680 We we've talked so much about that number five pick. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.120 But after that, I'll start with the second part of that. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:31.440 I don't think you should wear at all with the 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.160 national hype about you know, I think I saw an 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.040 article or somebody ranked the all thirty two teams running 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.400 back situations and we were like thirty first or something 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.640 that may or may not be true or close to true. 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.400 But what's thought about them nationally isn't really all that 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.800 important compared to what our guys think. And you know, 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.400 there's there's always like Diamond Smith is a good example 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.840 of guys that internally are valued higher than that maybe 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.480 the national press believes. But to get back to the 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.960 first part of it, let's just say hypothetically, because I 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.160 need to know who we took in the first round. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.920 To answer, Let's say we took a defensive, an edge 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.960 guy like Josh Allen Ramontes sweat second day, a couple 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.080 of things. I think offensive line, it would be good 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.040 to get another couple of pieces, or at least one 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.680 new piece that could be a star for you down 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.080 the road. You could also get a guy that can 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.720 maybe compete right away with guys like Alex Kappa for 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.920 the right guard spot. And then a cornerback. And I 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.720 know you've heard me say a thousand times I say, 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.800 I couldn't believe we had already talked even more about that. 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:29.480 And I know we took two quarterbacks in the second 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.280 round last year. See might think, well, if we've already 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:32.720 invested a lot there, but one of them, m J. 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.000 Stewart is apparently at least gonna start out this this 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:39.520 offseason playing safety. So and you don't have brain crimes anymore, 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.440 I think there's still need a cornerback. Those are the 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.680 two spots that that I would highlight on the second 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.080 day of the draft. All right, well that's gonna do 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:47.920 it for us. In this edition of Buccaneers Insider Live, 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:49.760 presented by Miller of Light Thinks, as always to all 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.680 of you who were watching, ann who asked questions, and 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.000 we'll see you right back here next time.
