Speaker 1: That's right, a Wednesday night Draft edition, and we're gonna

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: kick it off with a draft here in just a minute.

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: Over the last few weeks, you know, Drew Doherty and myself,

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm John Harris, football analyst and Sithon reporter. We have

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: been doing the Ultimate NFL Draft, which was a blast

11
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: Whetoka break for a couple of weeks. And now that

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: where it's April. I figured, you know what, it's wednest

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: to night draft time. And so Mark vanmer is gonna

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: join me in a little bit to go through our

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: first draft. And this one is very very simple, very

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: very simple. Favorite Texans draft picks. Now again, favorite Texas

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: draft picks, not best pick, not greatest player. Favorite. So

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: there's always a story that goes with it. We'll do

19
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: that in just a little bit. But Drew Dorty's gonna

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: stop by for our in the lab conversation, and this

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: week it's who could be available at number sixty seven

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans as it sits right now six

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: soule four ish on Wednesday evening, April seventh, But Texas

24
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: have the sixty seventh pick in the draft. Could that change? Certainly?

25
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: Could it be a higher pick, I would doubt it.

26
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: Could it be a lower pick most definitely trading down,

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: accumulating other picks, et cetera. Texas could very well just

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: sit at number sixty seven. Why did an article at

29
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Houston Texas dot com could out a two for one

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: and you'll need about fifteen to twenty minutes because it's

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: a pick one through sixty six mock draft, which I

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: then went, Okay, who's left the Harris one hundred at

33
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: this point for the Texans at number sixty seven. Now,

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: as I went through that exercise, what I realized was

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: there were more running backs than any other position on

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: the Harris one hundred, and so we focused on that

37
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 1: this evening. You'll have that in a little while, are

38
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: in the lab discussion. Then we will go around the

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: NFL and put it all together. But March's gonna join

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: me in a little bit and We're going to have

41
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: our Wednesday night draft, our favorite Texans draft picks, not

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: the best, but our favorites, and martially gonna joined me

43
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I'm gonna kick this off with

44
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: my favorite and it dates back to twenty fourteen. Jadevion

45
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Clowney first pick overall. Again, as you hear that, you're like, oh,

46
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: he did listen. First of all, as a player, Javion

47
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: was very good with the Texas. He went the three

48
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: Pro Bowls in sixteen, seventeen, eighteen before we end up

49
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: going to Seattle, then with Tennessee, and now he's looking

50
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: for home at this point. But twenty fourteen was my

51
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: very first draft, and I had followed the draft. I've

52
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: been followed draft forever, but I would pop on the

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: draft with Mark and some of the friends back in

54
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: the day when I was affiliate with six ten doing

55
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: college football expert stuff, draft stuff at that point. But

56
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen was the first year I was in the building.

57
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: It was the first time I was on the official

58
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: draft coverage, and I felt like I had a lot

59
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: to prove, but it was my first one. I was

60
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: so incredibly excited, I mean so excited, and there was

61
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: still a little bit of question, is it Jadevion for sure?

62
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: We all kind of thought, but we weren't totally sure.

63
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Then Roger Goodell said his name. You see him on

64
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: a TV screen, he's crying, and then two minutes later

65
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: we're talking to him and he's one of my favorite

66
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: college football players. He was just incredible, And it was

67
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: such a great and neat moment to be able to

68
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: talk to Jadevion at at that particular point. And that

69
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: was my first draft. I mean, it was just I mean,

70
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: it just didn't It didn't get much better than that.

71
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: My other one and then we'll get Mark in. Here

72
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: was John Garnard back in twenty twenty. And John Garnard

73
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: was a guy that I had met at the Senior Bowl.

74
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: I had talked to him for a long time. At

75
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl, I did an interview with him, had

76
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: that interview, and we've had a number of these other

77
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: years Braxton Miller, Carlos Watkins, and John Grenard where we

78
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: had the interview and we drafted that guy. And it's

79
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: you know, told luck. But I go to the Senior

80
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: Bowl always looking to find somebody that maybe the Texas

81
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: will look at so I was. I talked to a

82
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: lot of edge players before COVID hit. We do the interview,

83
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: it's a great interview. Obviously COVID hits, everybody has to

84
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: leave the building. And I'm like, oh, man, if we

85
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: draft John Grenard, this is called stink man because that interview,

86
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: which is great, is now stuck in the vault in RG.

87
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: Nobody can get into building to play. And I'm like, oh,

88
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: this is terrible. When we get to the night of

89
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: the draft, this night to pick ninety to me Clint

90
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: Stirner and Mark and Mark says, Johnny, what do you think?

91
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I look at my board

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: and the highest rated player I've left on my board, Mark,

93
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: and I think would be a really good fitish John Grenard,

94
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: John Garnard, I had him in his seventies. I'm like, man,

95
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: he would be a great pick. I wanted to all

96
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: the reasons why, And he said, Johnny, your wishes come true.

97
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: It's John Grennard. It was unbelievable. I was just floored

98
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: that they would make that pick in that selection. I

99
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: call him a shot, if you will, And it turned

100
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: out to be a good one at that All right,

101
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: let's get to Mark. He comes in here, the voice

102
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: of the Texans, Mark your favorite draft picks, no particular

103
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: order to it. It's just whatever comes to your mind.

104
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Anyone either one of us have to think real, real hard,

105
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: but we all have these instances in these stories about

106
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: the draft. Your favorite draft picks for the Texans go okay,

107
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: so and again doesn't have to be a great player necessarily,

108
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: just have to like to pick. I keep feeling that

109
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: we have to disclaimer this because people are gonna be like, well,

110
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: where's what, Yes, it's favorite. So so this was a

111
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: front situation relatively because it's two thousand and nine, and

112
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: this turns out to be a really good draft of

113
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: the Texans, by the way, because they take Brian Cushing,

114
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: they take Connor Barwin. I mean, there are a lot

115
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: of good players in two thousand and nine, right right,

116
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: And one of them happens to be a tight end

117
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: slash eventual fullback who they take from Rice in the

118
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: fifth round, and that would be James Casey. And there

119
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: you are, as you know, Johnny, covering the draft, and

120
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, as you know better than anybody, you know,

121
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: it's going on and on. It's the fifth round and

122
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: they grab Casey. And you know you're doing these press

123
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: conferences as teleconferences because nobody's in Houston that you're picking. Right,

124
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: you might bring the first day guys in town the

125
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: next day or whatever, but that's about it. Well, Casey

126
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: happens to be down the street. So here you are

127
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: having a fifth round draft choice who gets his own

128
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: press conference. And everybody knew Casey, right, everybody knew Casey

129
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: from Rice. He played every position in a game or whatever.

130
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: He did that one game for Rice. And I remember,

131
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: I'll never forget this about Casey that in Sports Illustrated

132
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: when they had scouting reports on the draft classes. Somebody

133
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: wrote about Casey, like anonymous scout when he throws the ball,

134
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: because Casey could play quarterback in a pinch right for Rice.

135
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: And David Bailiff told us if Casey had stayed in

136
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: school one more year, he would have been the Rice quarterback,

137
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: all right. So one of the scouts, anonymous scout scouts

138
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: take said when he throws the ball, he kind of

139
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: reminds you of Tebow, except he throws the ball better

140
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: than Tebow. And I never forgot that line. I thought

141
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: it was great. And James Casey's definitely one of my

142
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: favorite Texans all time picks. Yeah, that's a that's a

143
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: great one. And I'd loved James and we had a

144
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: chance to talk to him when he was at Rice,

145
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: and I see him out and about. I've seen him

146
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. I think maybe last year. I

147
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: think it was last year. He was at the Senior

148
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Bowl because the Bengals were coaching and so he was there.

149
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: All right, I gotta go back to two thousand sixteen.

150
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: Now this is kind of an odd one, but for

151
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: some reason in twenty sixteen, somebody in our department had

152
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: this genius idea and I just used the word genius

153
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: loosely to put a camera in and we were up

154
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: in the press box, in the press box for the

155
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: draft on day two I think it's day three. So

156
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, we start off with Will Fuller, then

157
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: we drafted Nick Martin. But then we drafted Braxton Miller,

158
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: and I'm like, boy, we've added some athletes. And I

159
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: always loved the Braxton Miller pick because I met him

160
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. We did an interview, we had

161
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: all that ready to go. So it comes on in

162
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: the fourth round. Now again, this didn't turn out the

163
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: way we wanted and the way that I wanted it,

164
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: of course, but adding will Fuller, adding Braxton Miller, You're like, Okay,

165
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: they're they're adding speed. We need speed, they're adding speed.

166
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: Here it comes. But I thought that's enough. Will Fuller,

167
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Braxton Miller, where you go? The camera was put on

168
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: me and I look up and I see that we've

169
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: drafted Tyler Irvin from San Jose State, who runs in

170
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: the mid four threes, and I just lost it. I

171
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, we're gonna be the fastest

172
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: team on the face of this earth. We are gonna

173
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: be unbelievably fast. I just I lost it. I was like,

174
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: I started cackling, laughing, like, look at his speed. Will Fuller,

175
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: Braxton Miller, Tyler Irvin. It didn't quite work out that way,

176
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: but it was fun at the time to think about

177
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: what kind of speed this team could have and Tyler Irvin,

178
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: and my reaction to it was awesome just to hear

179
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: his name because I'd seen him at the combine and

180
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: I was like, boy, this guy's he's talented, he is fast.

181
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: I love it. So you went four three one will

182
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: four four three eight. Tyler Irvin Rexon Miller ran into

183
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: low four four is, I'm like wow. And so when

184
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: the Urban pick came up, I just was completely not

185
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: expecting it at all at all, and my reaction to

186
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: it was just so organic, like, oh man, who we

187
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: just drafted a ton a ton of speed. This is

188
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna be really fun, all right, Mark, do you have

189
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: one more? Well, it's a tie ye one. Year one.

190
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: It's day two, and remember it's a two day draft.

191
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Back there. The fourth round kicks off day two because

192
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: the first three rounds are on Saturday. Fourth round kicks

193
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: off day two. Texans have yet to play a game.

194
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: It's year one, and in the fourth round they pick

195
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: running back from Ohio State Jonathan Wells. And I loved

196
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Wells. I thought he was a you know, it

197
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a great back for this team, let's be honest.

198
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: But he had some nice games from the Texans, some

199
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: nice moments. He was a good dude, and I always

200
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: liked running into him and I still do. I haven't

201
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: done that for a while, obviously, but I liked that

202
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: pick at the time. Plus I had him in a

203
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: game with the University of Miami when the Hurricanes took

204
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: on the Buckeyes a few years before then, I'm gonna

205
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: go that's a tie with third round. Oh six, I

206
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: gave you the Damiko Ryan set up a similar set

207
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: up here, Eric Winston and Charles Spencer. Really Charles and

208
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: Eric back to back to begin the third round, because

209
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: I just thought, all right, you won the day. Really,

210
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: you got Mario Williams, who I know he might not

211
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: be the most popular pick, but he's going to be

212
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: a hell of a player. Right Then you get Demiko Ryans.

213
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: Then you get these two tackles, and you're set for

214
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: the next decade. Obviously it didn't work out with but

215
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: at the time I was like elated with those back

216
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: to back picks of those two guys and the first

217
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: day of action, and that was six draft was amazing

218
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: because you kick off day two at the time with

219
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: Ellen Daniels in the fourth round. You know the rest

220
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: of the story, all right, My next one is going

221
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: to be two thousand and six as well, and you'll

222
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: probably know where I'm going with this, Mark, but one

223
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: of my favorite players in the two thousand and five

224
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: Couche football season was this tiny, gritty, fast, physical receiver

225
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 1: from Colorado State who I loved watching I just I

226
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: loved him. He was he was awesome. Little did we

227
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: know that when we started radio station, he would be

228
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: our go to and he was just tremendous on the radio.

229
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: And I remember the Texas took him. I was a

230
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: big I was a big fan, like, oh, yeah, all

231
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: these other picks are great. David Anderson, that's the guy

232
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: to watch. I love that guy's wide receiver. He's gonna

233
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: do something for this team, and long behold, he did.

234
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: He did. He was an excellent slot receiver. He didn't

235
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: turn out like he had at Colorado State, but we

236
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: ended up being really close to the DA He's now

237
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: in the analytics game and doing a tremendous, tremendous job.

238
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: But I was live blogging that entire two thousand and

239
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: six draft, and with the Texas drafted David Anderson, I

240
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: was like, oh, the sleeper pick. And look he stayed

241
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: around through two thousand and nine, I think through the

242
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: beginning of two ten maybe, so he got a good

243
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: four years, made some great catches along the way, and

244
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: was tremendous on the radio and always bailed us out

245
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: when it came to the radio. So I was always

246
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: very very thankful for that. All right, Mark, I've got

247
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: one final one. I'm gonna sneak in here, and it

248
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: dates back to twenty fifteen. Now, this he's one of

249
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: my favorite picks for two reasons. Number One, again I

250
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: kind of called my shot in some sense. And number two,

251
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: I actually went to his pro day and I talked

252
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: to him at his pro day, and that would be

253
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: Christian Covington. Sixth round, twenty fifteen draft. Covington had torn

254
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: his ACL, I believe the year before, and I don't

255
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: know if he's toured his ACL, but he had suffered

256
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: an injury that cost him. Oh yeah, a dislikeeted kneecap,

257
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: That's what it was. And so he had to sit

258
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: out the majority of that twenty fourteen season. Coming off

259
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: a tremendous sophomore season, it looked like he was going

260
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: to be a top forty pick. The injury set him back.

261
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: I was really curious what he would look like at

262
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: his pro day. So I went over to his pro

263
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: day and I see him work out. I'm like, man,

264
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: it's a really good workout. He did a really nice job.

265
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about Christian coming each other and

266
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: then he was from Vancouver. He's a Canadian, had no like,

267
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: no knowledge of him really other than just a player.

268
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: So when his workout is over, I just went up

269
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: to him and I said, Hey, I'm John Harrison the Texans.

270
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: I just want to say it's you know, it's been

271
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: really cool watching you play at Rice And I found

272
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: out at that particular point that he's as fun to

273
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: talk to as anybody we've ever encountered. For the Houston Texans.

274
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: He's been unbelievably awesome to talk to. And I just said,

275
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, have you met with the Texans? Have you

276
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: talked to the Texans? And he said, yeah, I had

277
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: had a meeting with this guy. I think I'm gonna

278
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: be working out for them. I was like, man, we

279
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: really could use you. This would be a really good

280
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: spot for you. We get to the draft. We're over

281
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: at Texans Drill twenty fifteen and we're around the sixth

282
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: round and you're like, hey, you know, who do you think, Joe,

283
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: what do you think? I was like, you know what,

284
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: Rice is? Kristin Covington's still on the board. I think

285
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: he would make some sense. His developmental guy is still

286
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: he's still coming off an injury, but I think this

287
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: would be a really good pick. Blahmahole round six picked

288
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: two sixteen Kristin Covington becomes a Houston Texan. That is

289
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: one of my favorite picks. Mark, that was one that

290
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: was an excellent favorite draft. Thank you very much for

00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: Texans Old xis pocom back everybody this Wednesday edition the

319
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: Texans All Access a Draft edition. As we are in

320
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: Draft month, we are twenty two days away from Thursday

321
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Night's first round, and I know what you're thinking. The

322
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: Texas don't have a first round pick, don't have a

323
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: second round pick. I know, I get it. But when

324
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: the draft is here and it's done, then we're all

325
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: back to square. Were go into twenty twenty two with

326
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: first round picks, second round picks, and we're all square

327
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: at that point. Now, who knows where we're picking in

328
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. That remains to be seen and we'll

329
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: go from there. But we do know where we are

330
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: picking in twenty twenty one, at least right now we do.

331
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: As of April seventh, at about I don't know, six

332
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: thirty ish, we know the Texans have pick number sixty seven.

333
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: So I decided, you know what, I was going to

334
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: do a little two for one, if you will. I

335
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: wanted to know who the Texans would have available at

336
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: sixty seven, and I think the only way to figure

337
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: that out was to go through a mock draft exercise

338
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: through pick sixty six. So I did, and it just

339
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: so happened. After doing that article, Drew Doherty decided, Hey,

340
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna do our in the lab on that very thing.

341
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: So here you go, Drew, Dort and I in the

342
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: lab talking about what the Texans could possibly be able

343
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: to do on sixty at pick sixty seven? Will they

344
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: focus on running backs? This week? We're gonna talk about

345
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: which guys might be there at sixty seven overall, because

346
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: you recently did a sixty six player mock drafted for

347
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: those of you out there going, why the hell would

348
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: anyone do a sixty six player mock draft because the

349
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: Texans are picking at sixty seven and you wanted to

350
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: set the table for the folks out there to see

351
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: who might be available. Well, you do a tremendous article

352
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: drew each and every week or each and every year

353
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: mock draft servant, and you go on all of different

354
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: mock drafts. It's tougher, obviously when you don't have a

355
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: first round pick, even more difficult when you don't have

356
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: a second round excuse me, second round pick. We at

357
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 1: least had one at number forty last year, and there

358
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: are a lot of people that do two round mocks

359
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: so you can at least get to that pick. Not

360
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: a lot of people are doing three round mocks and beyond.

361
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: So your mock draft survey is slim. Yeah, it's it

362
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: can be. So it's tough. And so I was like,

363
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people ask me, well, what

364
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: are they gonna do a sixty seven Like, well, okay,

365
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: if this team at thirty two does this, and this

366
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: team at forty eight does this, and then this team

367
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: from fifty seven trades up to fifty one, and so

368
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, let me just do a

369
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: sixty six team or sixty six pick mock draft and

370
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: see who's available from sixty seven on down. You know

371
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: why not? I mean, what can't hurt, right, Let's just

372
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: try it and see we're gonna find. And what I

373
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: came out of that exercise with Dren and what I

374
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: did was I found a player in the Harris one

375
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: hundred at every single position. Now, we the Texans have

376
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: kind of taken to um, we've kind of taken to

377
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: really broadening our position declaration with the Texas. It's quarterback,

378
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: running back, wide receiver, tight end, old line. That's it. Now,

379
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: you know, I break it up quarterback, running back, wide receiver,

380
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: weapon X, tight ends, interior line, tackles, That's how I

381
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: break it up. I was able to find somebody in

382
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: the Harris one hundred at essentially every single one of

383
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: my positions, meaning I found the tackles. I found some

384
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: guards at centers. Was there any position that was not

385
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: well outside of kicker and punter, which I don't put

386
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: into the Harris one on trede I don't, I don't.

387
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't mess with that um. So outside of that,

388
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: no there there. It was pretty much a player at

389
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: least at every at every position, even quarterback. At number

390
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: ninety four. I have Kellen Mond the quarterback for Texas

391
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: at M and a guy that may not even be

392
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: there at sixty seven. I just I haven't ninety four.

393
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: I think there are some things that he doesn't do well.

394
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: He's NICs consistent is like him to be. So I'm

395
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: a ninety four. Um. There's the And since I wrote this,

396
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: you may changes the ares one hundred I was throwing there.

397
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: Davis Mills from Stanford as well. I just don't think

398
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: the Texans will will go quarterback at number sixty seven.

399
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: I just that doesn't that doesn't feel like a spot

400
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: they'll do it. I do think they'll draft a quarterback.

401
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: I mean they've got some Day three picks, and I

402
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: do think they'll look at maybe a creative solution at quarterback.

403
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody, you know, kind of a Taysom Hill type,

404
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: a Cordell Stewart type that's got some slash abilities, can

405
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: do it number of different things. Maybe you know who's

406
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: to say, But where I have the most players remaining

407
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: on the board, Drew and I'm and I hesitate saying

408
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: this because I don't know ultimately, because I have so

409
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: many players there. I feel like there will be players

410
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: in layer rounds. But the one position that I had

411
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: most players remaining in my Harris one hundred was that

412
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: running back. I had five guys in the Harris one

413
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,479
Speaker 1: hundred that I think could fit at sixty seven. Now

414
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: there's seventy four them below. But would I be surprised

415
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: if any of those guys went to sixty seven. No,

416
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: But what the Texans have done Philip Lindsay resigned, David Johnson,

417
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: Signy mark Ingram re upping with Buddy Howell, bring it back,

418
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: Dontrell Hilliard and stuff, Scottie Phillips. I feel like they've

419
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: really bolstered that position. I do think that a running

420
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: back is in the mix, but and it could be

421
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: one of these guys. I got a feeling that one

422
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: of these running backs Kenneth Gainwell Memphis, Chubah Hobbard Oklahoma State,

423
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: Ramander Stevens Oklahoma, Tray Sermon, Ohio State, Michael Carter, North Carolina,

424
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: amongst others. I love this running back class. I do

425
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: think they will take one, and I do think they're

426
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna end up getting a guy that when his name

427
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: is announced that running back, I'm like, oh yeah, I

428
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: like this guy and I love this running back class.

429
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: But that's where I have the most players on the

430
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: Harris one hundred remaining is at running back. The next position.

431
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Waa wait wait wait wait wait wait, So Chuba Hubbard

432
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: might be available in the third round. Oh yeah, there's

433
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: some people that think Hubbard might be available in the

434
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: fifth round. Yeah. If you'd heard that a year ago

435
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: at this time, would you, I mean, I know you'd

436
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: believe it, but it'd be a little bit of a surprise, right,

437
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: there's no question, And I think what's happened. And I

438
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: think Chuba did a good job at his pro day

439
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: running in the four four range to kind of bring

440
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: people back to hey, look, the speed in the explosiveness

441
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: that you knew that he had is still there. You

442
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: can't get lost in guys banged up, had a bad

443
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: ankle issue. He still got that home run hitting ability

444
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: that is there. And drew for there's something telling me

445
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: that with that second, the second pick the Texas have,

446
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: which is I think one oh eight or one oh nine,

447
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: I think just at the beginning of the fourth round.

448
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a possibility Chhabard could still be there,

449
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: and if he's there, I would I would John Harris,

450
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: I would jump all over it because I think he's

451
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that gives you some home run

452
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: hitting ability, a young player with some tremendous upside, and

453
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: with the offensive line that the Texas are putting together

454
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: James camping All line coach and Tim Kelly Stays office coordinator,

455
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see this team still run the football.

456
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: And there's no guarantee that you know. David Johnson didn't

457
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: play offf sixteen games last year. Mark mark Ingram, didn't

458
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: you know Philip Lizzie was banged up and has been

459
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: banged up a time start of his career. There's to

460
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: me an opportunity for a running back rounds four, five, six,

461
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: seven could get in this draft. I think Quba Hubbard's

462
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna be there at that second pick. Drew and I

463
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 1: would love it if he were a text. If you're

464
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: able to get him in the fourth round, it's a

465
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: slam dunk. Hey, they's played well, He's played well in

466
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: this building. Nargis not disbuilding him. And this is my

467
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: house in Spring Branch, but he's played well in NRG Stadium. Yes,

468
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: absolutely needs anything, but no, I listen. Scottie Phillips had

469
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: his best game effort at RG Stadium, his first the

470
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: first game of the twenty eighteen season, So I would listen.

471
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: I would love to see a guy like que Hubbard

472
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: thing about it with this, with this running back group.

473
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: Drew and I did my Tech SAgs interview today and

474
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: we're going through top five at the position, and I

475
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: feel almost, um, I don't want the right way of saying,

476
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: I feel weird. Like gives me the HEBG. He's like, hey,

477
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: give me your top five guys. I'm like, but they

478
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: all do different things, and there's so many of these

479
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: guys I love, even when you get beyond those guys

480
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: that have in Harris one hundred. You know we mentioned

481
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: I mention chub Hubbard's he's there, Khalil Herbert Virginia Tech

482
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: had a really good Senior Bowl. Larry Rountree from Missouri.

483
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: I really like that guy. Javian Hawkins Louisville. I think

484
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: you and I were talking about Javian Hawkins from Louisville.

485
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: Kyl Hill, Missisippi State, Elijah Mitchell Louisiana. Jared Patterson from

486
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: It will be fun because he's all about five to six,

487
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: so he's smaller, I think than the two Doherty boys.

488
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: Jamar Jefferson from Oregon State is a zone runner, but

489
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: he's a banger. CJ. Marabel Coastal Carolina. It's like five six,

490
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: he's like pocket dynam Like Chris Evans at the Senior Bowl.

491
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: I thought I had a tremendous Senior Bowl and really

492
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: kind of was off the radar at Michigan and pop

493
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: back on with a really good Senior Bowl in a

494
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: good week in great protect testing. Deon Jackson from Duke

495
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: runs in the four four range. There are a spencer

496
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,239
Speaker 1: around uab is a bigger back. I mean there are

497
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: running backs all throughout this draft that the Texas are

498
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: gonna find somebody. I think they're gonna draft somebody, and

499
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: they're also going to sign in a drafted free agent

500
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: that are gonna get in the mix, and we're gonna

501
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: be like, Holy cal this run game is gonna get

502
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: that much better because of the rookies they're bringing into

503
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: running back. Well, let me ask you this, then, with

504
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: all these guys that you think are presumably gonna be available.

505
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: Which guys running back wise? Should Texans fans just forget?

506
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: No chance? Not going to be Availab, I'm getting aten

507
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, but who are the names you mentioned? Travis

508
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: Etn from Clemson, He's number two on my board at

509
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: running back. Number one is not jee Harris from Alabama.

510
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't think those two guys, you know, there wasn't

511
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: there was a thought, you know when when all the

512
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: rumors about the Shawn trade we're going on back in

513
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, late February, early March, and you thought, well,

514
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the Texans end up with these picks,

515
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: and oh, maybe you're running back. I still don't like

516
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: drafting a running back in the first round, but those

517
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: two I have probably late first round grades, late first,

518
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: early second. Javante Ways in North Carolina was one of

519
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: my favorite running backs I've studied. I love watching him.

520
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: I you know, as I went through my second revision

521
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: of the Harris one hundred, I battled whether I should

522
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: put Williams ahead of Etn and Harris, like is he

523
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: my number one back? And I just couldn't get all

524
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: the way there. But Javonte Williams is a tremendous running

525
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: back tray sermon from Oklahoma. As a guy that's in

526
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: the Harris one hundred, so he's you know, he's down

527
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: to like eighty eight ninety three. I think that's kind

528
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: of demarcation between Harris et N and Javante Williams and

529
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: everybody else. I think those three are off the board.

530
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: And if any of those three are sitting there at

531
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: sixty seven, you either a need to start doing some

532
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: digging that there is a background situation that we don't

533
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: know about, that something popped up maybe in the medicals

534
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: that you need to be doing some digging on, or

535
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: if you know they're they're crystal clean in those areas,

536
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: they're just fall because that's the nature of the draft.

537
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: You run that card up there with one of those

538
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: three guys, I just don't think it's anyway then those

539
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: guys get the sixty seven at all. I think they're

540
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: top thir they're top thirty players, top thirty five players.

541
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: It would be a Mira miracle for them to get

542
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: the sixty seven. All right, Well, we're gonna continue this

543
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: conversation about guys that are available at the spot. We're

544
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna break it up in the weeks to come. We

545
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: stay on the running backs today. Who's there? Who you

546
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: thought and you described and who to just forget about

547
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: Texas and you're not gonna get this guy. It's not

548
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: gonna be around. And you're not saying Texans are going

549
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: with a running back around. You're just saying, if they

550
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: want to scratch that itch, those guys are there and available.

551
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: And that's fun stuff. If you haven't had a chance,

552
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: go check out John's mock draft one through sixty six.

553
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: It's always fun. And you got to have the top

554
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: one hundred as you're, you know, kind of your mini bible,

555
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: your guidebook, your roadmap to what's going to happen over

556
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: the next month. Right, absolutely, Harris one hundred will have

557
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: a second version, the edited version, if you will, coming out,

558
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: so make sure you check it out. Should be out

559
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: in the next i don't know, week to ten days.

560
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: You listen, you always have information that comes in, you know,

561
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: and because you know, I'm one man operation, sometimes there

562
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: are just some players I'm like, you know, look, I

563
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: really want to really want to watch this guy. I'll

564
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: give you a gread. Example. Pete Werner from Ohio State

565
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: was a linebacker that I really really like, but he

566
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: wasn't as a senior ball because they had played a

567
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: long season, and so I was like, I really want

568
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: to study to make sure. So I left them out

569
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: of the first one hundred, studied and watched about three

570
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: or four games of him, was like, yeah, he should

571
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: be in a hundred. So there's a lot of that.

572
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: So that's what happens to the second edition. You see,

573
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: you know a few more names that pop into that

574
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: weren't in a first edition. But I'm pretty proud of it.

575
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: To go check it out and appreciate it, Drew for

576
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: pumping it up. It's an exhaustive and exhausting bit of content,

577
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: and I love it's in a good way for me,

578
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: tough way for you because it takes so long. But

579
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: I know it's a labor of love, right it is

580
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: absolutely love. Yes, love, that's exactly what it is. Oh,

581
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: there's no question, labor of loves, exactly what it is.

582
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: In fact, I've gotta about the tabs up on my

583
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: computer right now, and that's one of them. I've just

584
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: been in putting Pro Days results on all the players

585
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: so I can have this document ready to go for

586
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Draft night. All the different tabs for all the different positions.

587
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: It's Yeah, it is definitely a labor of love. There's

588
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: no doubt about that aspect of things. But it's fun.

589
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: So over the next couple of weeks leading up to

590
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: the draft and thinking about pick number sixty seven, if

591
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: it stands at sixty seven, I wouldn't imagine the Texans

592
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: are in the trade up business. But maybe they're gonna

593
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: trade down business. Maybe they don't draft until pick seventy

594
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: five or pick eighty after doing some work on draft

595
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: weekend or leading up to the draft. Who knows at

596
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: that particular point what's going to happen there. But at

597
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: sixty seven, I feel like, even though as crazy as

598
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: it sounds, it's the third round pick, there's an opportunity

599
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: to get a player there. I feel like this this

600
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: kind of goes back. This is my my Justin Reid corollary.

601
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: And you could also, I think, you know, look at

602
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock two. I had Ross Blacklock in a twenty

603
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty one through twenty three somewhere now I

604
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: think maybe it was twenty one. And I do think

605
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: that Russ Blacklock has got a lot to offer this team.

606
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna start seeing it in twenty

607
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: twenty one. But my Justin Reid corollary is somebody's gonna

608
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna fall. Somebody that I have in my in

609
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: my mock draft is going to be available that maybe

610
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: I had a much higher number on. You know, a

611
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: guy in the thirties. Oh man, this guy is still

612
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: on the board. You know, this guy's still on the board.

613
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: And I remember in twenty eighteen, you know, we've waited

614
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: so long for that number sixty eight pick, and started

615
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: getting text for people, Hey, it's gonna be Justin Reid

616
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: from Stanford, and I'm like, wait a second, he's not

617
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: off the board yet. I went and looked. I'm like,

618
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: I got him at forty four, and Harris one hundred

619
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: felt through us right there at number sixty eight. And

620
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: it's one of the luckier draft picks we ended up getting.

621
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean to get a guy of that caliber, a

622
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: player of that caliber that I thought could easily go

623
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: to the back end round one to get him at

624
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of round three. And what I loved about

625
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: is when we got just on the phone that night

626
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: and talked to him, he didn't care. He just was

627
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: like so excited to be with a team, love being

628
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: in Houston. He's from Baton Rouge. He just loved it

629
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: and so he's been a breath to fresh air every

630
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: single moment that he has been here in Houston and

631
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: love havingue. But that could very well happen at sixty seven,

632
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: very well happened. Could one of the running backs fall?

633
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, the top three running

634
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 1: backs are gonna be, I think in the top forty picks,

635
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: and then there's a gap, and then you get to

636
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: the next group of picks, ramdra Stevenson to Hubbard, Michael

637
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: Carter from North Carolina, Trey Sermon, those guys are probably

638
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: seventy five and below. But you know, could you make

639
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: a case for it a sixty seven? Sure? Do I

640
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: think the Texans will go running back to sixty seven? No,

641
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: I think they'll end up going and looking at a

642
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: different position group. And I think that position group is

643
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: going to be when we talk about next week, which

644
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: is on the defensive side of the ball, and that

645
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: is on the defensive line. But that is for next week.

646
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: For next segment, we'll go around the NFL. Plenty happening

647
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL some movement here, some movement there with

648
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: teams getting ready and what happens with pick number four.

649
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: This is a little bit of news, maybe more smoke

650
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: and rumors than anything else. We'll talk about the Atlanta

651
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: Falcons might do with pick number four, and now that

652
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: packs the rest of the draft. That next, right, Aaron

Speaker 1: Award presented by APACHEE is Larry Hill. After a long

657
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: career as a paramedic, Larry founded medic Outpost, a nonprofit

658
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: based in Houston that supplies basic life support equipment and

659
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: gently used medical equipment and training to rural communities in Africa,

660
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: Central America, and Mexico. With COVID nineteen, medic Outposts shifted

661
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: their focus to battle COVID nineteen in Texas by building

662
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: and supplying intubation boxes, PPE and other needed equipment to

663
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,399

670
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: what do at the stadium? But sometimes this late at

671
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: night at the stadium, it's kind of quiet. It's kind

672
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: of spooky, man, not really. I was like, dude at home,

673
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: it's kind of nice. It's gonna be interesting when this

674
00:36:54,280 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: whole COVID thing is gone, if it ever gets that way, say,

675
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: fully vaccinated, So I'm done well for now. I don't

676
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen, whether you're gonna need a like

677
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: an additional shot down the road, all these new variants

678
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, But for now, your

679
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: boys vaccinated. So hopefully you guys are out there getting shots,

680
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: wearing masks, being socially distanced. Still, I don't know what

681
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: that means about the Astros game. I don't know how

682
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: that's I want to say that I saw fifty percent,

683
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: but I could have been dreaming that. I had a

684
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: dream the other night that Mark and I had dinner

685
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: with Drew Brees and his wife and kids, and the

686
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: kids came and sat at our table, and Drew and

687
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: his wife went to another table. So like Mark and

688
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: I were like the babysitters for Drew Brees kids, and

689
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: they were kind of loud and obnoxious. It was just

690
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: it was weird anyways, having some strange dreams lately, and

691
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: maybe that's because the draft is coming up. Speaking of

692
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: the draft, I mentioned this kind of tease this coming

693
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: out of the last segment. You hear everybody say this here,

694
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,479
Speaker 1: A lot of people say this every the draft starts

695
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: at number two, the draft stars number three. I think

696
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: the draft's intrigue starts at three. But I think Trevior

697
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: Lawrence going to the Jags after the Sam Donald trade.

698
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the Jets are gonna lock into Zach

699
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: Wilson now. They could. They could surprise everybody and draft

700
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: to Justin Fields or Trey Lance or Mac Jones. I

701
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: don't see that one, honestly. You know, that kind of

702
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: will lead me into number pick number three. That leads

703
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: me to number four, where the news kind of is

704
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: at this point. When I did my first mock draft,

705
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: I put quarterbacks one, two, three, four, But I didn't

706
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: have the teams at the time that were Jags, Jets, Dolphins, Falcons.

707
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: I had the Panthers moving up to two. I had

708
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: the Broncos to three of the Patriots to four. I

709
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: think those are the teams I'm moving up. Well, it's

710
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: still's Jags and Jets at one and two. Now the

711
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: Niners are sitting there at number three. If it goes

712
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: as we expect. Trevor Lawrence, then Zach Wilson wanted to

713
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: and you know the Jets, I gotta take quarterback after

714
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: trading Sam Darneld, so you know that's going to be

715
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback at two. The Niners didn't trade all that

716
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: they traded away to move up nine spots to take

717
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: a linebacker, a receiver, no offense to those positions. Everybody's

718
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: important on a football field, nothing as important as the

719
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: signal caller. And this is a year in which the

720
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: signal callers are at the top of this draft. Excellent

721
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 1: Trey Lance, justin fields, Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones,

722
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: excellent quintet of quarterbacks. Teams are looking to find that guy. Now,

723
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: how successful teams have been in finding that guy lately?

724
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: Hit or miss. If you date all the way, I mean,

725
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: you go back to twenty thirteen. Ej. Manuel, the other

726
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round, stunk. Twenty fourteen Bortles, Manzille stunk,

727
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: stunk Bridgewater, Injuries hurt him in Minnesota, and he never

728
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: became the guy we maybe thought he could be. Fifteen

729
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: Mariota Winston stunk, stunk, Goff and Wentz traded, traded. Twenty seventeen.

730
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: We obviously know Mahomes watching him been very very good.

731
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: Trubisky I think has been I've gone on Trubisky from

732
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: not a very good quarterback too. I think he's a

733
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: bit underrated when you compare it to my goodness, Sam

734
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: Donald's get an opportunity to go to Carolina. Trubisky's numbers

735
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: are much much better either way. Twenty eighteen, we've seen

736
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield all have success. So

737
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: you're starting to see it a little bit more so.

738
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: Teams are wanting to get that quarterback at the top

739
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: of the draft. Makes sense, and teams that are are

740
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: really in the market for one. This is a this

741
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: is a a draft through. Once they get one, they're five

742
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: of them. You can but you gotta get in that

743
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: top ten. I think it. I think it really looks

744
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: like you gotta get into top maybe seven to get

745
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: one of those five guys. I do not think San

746
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: Francisco went up and made all that move and made

747
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: those moves to get to Mac Jones. Just don't think that.

748
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: I think they went up for Trey Lance or Justin Fields.

749
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: There's a lot of news that came out when Mac

750
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: Jones had his pro day, was the same day that

751
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: Ohio say has Pro Day. Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch went

752
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: to Alabama's Pro Day. That was like, oh, yes, it's

753
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: mac Jones. It's been a lot of smoke around mac

754
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: Jones going to San Francisco. I can't see it. I

755
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: don't think that he would have gotten mac Jones all

756
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: the way to number twelve. But I don't think that

757
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers had to trade all the way

758
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: up to number three to get mac Jones. I feel

759
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: like it was to get Justin Fields and Trey Lance. Well,

760
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: Justin Fields is gonna throw at a second Ohio State

761
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: Pro Day and Loeva Hall guests who's gonna be there,

762
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch just will happen on April fourteenth.

763
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: Next week, Justin Field's gonna throw in front of Coles

764
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: Shanahan and also John Lynch. I've said it's Fields or Lands,

765
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: but that brings into question pick number four. Either way,

766
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: it's a quarterback at number three, so QB QB QB

767
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: one two three. That leads to number four. And this

768
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: is why I think the draft baby begins at number four,

769
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: because you know quarterbacks are going one, two three unless

770
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: some crazy trade happens, and I don't see it happening

771
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: in one, two three. It's quarterbacks one two three. Then

772
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: you get to Atlanta sitting there at number four. I've

773
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: said all along, if I'm Terry Fontino, New GM in Atlanta,

774
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm trade net pick, I'm moving down. I'm getting out

775
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: of there. I need more players than I need a quarterback.

776
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,240
Speaker 1: At this point, Matt Ryan still has two three good years.

777
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: I can find a young quarter When the bottom falls

778
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: out from Matt Ryan and the Falcon's bottom out, they'll

779
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: be able to sit at the top of the draft

780
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: and end up drafting a young quarterback at that point,

781
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: be it down road, maybe next year, Sam Howell or

782
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler quarterback of that ILK next year, or even

783
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: down the road DJA from Clemson down there if it

784
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: really bottoms out. I don't know what those guys are

785
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: going to develop into. I know these guys are pretty good,

786
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: so I could see Atlanta sitting there going away. Wait

787
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: a second, we any think justin the Fields is gonna

788
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: be at four. He's four, Maybe we should take him.

789
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta could trade down there is now finally,

790
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: which I expected, rumors about Atlanta trading out of number

791
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: four and really kind of shaking things up. And my

792
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: worry is that it's the New England Patriots thinking about

793
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: trading with the Atlanta Falcons to move up eleven spots. Now,

794
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons in return would get a pretty good return,

795
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: but they'd also have to drop eleven spots, so they're

796
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: comfortable doing that. Potentially, they need more players plural, so

797
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: if they're able to pick up a future one, you know,

798
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: maybe the two from New England, whatever the case might be,

799
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: they'd be wise to think about this. I think it's

800
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: a prime opportunity for Atlanta to listen to all bids

801
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 1: and then go, okay, we'll take that one and move

802
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: on down. I think the four teams that were destined

803
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: to pick one, two, three, four. I had four quarterbacks

804
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: going the Jets and Jags. We know the forty nine

805
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: ers moved in. I think it's the fourth team will

806
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: move in for that pick at number four and take

807
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: their future quarterback or who they think is going to

808
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: be the future quarterback the fifth quarterback. I found interesting

809
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: reading Daniel Jeremiah's my most recent mock draft. He had

810
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: five in the top seventy at four in the top

811
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: four or five in the top seven, yet a quarterback

812
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: going to Detroit, that being Mac Jones. I think I

813
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: had Mac Jones going eight at the time to Carolina.

814
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: That was my most recent mock. Then they traded for

815
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. I don't think it's gonna be mac Jones,

816
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: so I have to go back and revise that. But

817
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: I won't do it just yet because who knows. I

818
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: think there's one more deal coming to lock up that

819
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: number four spot, and then maybe there's another deal to

820
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: get the number five if Cincinnatti wants to move out

821
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: of there. I mean, at that point, if quarterbacks going

822
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: to three four, the Bengals already have their quarterback. It's

823
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 1: almost like the Bengals have the number one overall pick

824
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: in the draft again, because they'll have their pick of

825
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: anybody because they already have their quarterback in Joe Burrow,

826
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: So maybe they sit there at five. The Bengals also

827
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: need a few players. Look, they've got some talented dudes

828
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: at receiver for sure, Jonah Williams on the offensive line,

829
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: Penney swol look very good with Jonah Williams to help

830
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: protect Joe Burrow. That's where I would go, but I

831
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: could see them going Kyle Pits be attracted by the

832
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: best tight end of the the game a lot everyways the

833
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: Bengals could go. They could also if somebody really wants

834
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: to get that fifth quarterback being Mac Jones, justin fields

835
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: trade lance, the Bengals could listen to offers. So this

836
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be a pretty interesting top five, top ten

837
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: picks in the NFL Draft, and we will have it
