15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lollly here with Matt Williamson and it is

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Matt Monday, April twenty four or April fourth. I should

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: say that would really be something, but we're just a

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: little over three weeks out from the NFL Drive left. Yeah,

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: how about it. Things are happening quick, they really are,

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: and so I thought we would start the show today. Uh,

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin said something interesting

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: last week at the at the at the NFL meetings.

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: They both said that the signings that they have made

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: in free agency wouldn't preclude them from star from from

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: drafting a player at any of those positions. And while

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: there might be some truth to that, I think there

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: are some positions that that they've taken better care of

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: than others. For example, I think interior offensive line is

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: much lower now on the on the need you know charts.

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: They're obviously they're not gonna, you know, if if everybody

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: else is gone that they would take, they would still

32
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: probably take an interior offensive line if that's who they

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: have graded the highest. But I just don't know if

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: I see that. I urged people to even check out

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: our Friday show because you can sit here and say, yeah,

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: but they're not going to take a tight end or

37
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: a running back. Well, we did a Bock draft and

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: we took a tight end and running back. You know,

39
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: I mean that's where the value was at. That's you're right,

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: and and I'm referring to the late rounds. I'm not

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: even talking about Day two. So if they take a

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: guard center prospect in the sixth round. They're not lying,

43
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: but none of us would be like, boy, what would

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: you do that? You know, you know, they see a guy,

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: they've got a third round grade on the guy, it's

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: a sixth round, and he's a clean prospect. They you know,

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: they probably take him just to take him. Yeah, right,

48
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean because because of the value. And I think

49
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: that's we'll go in position of my position, like you said,

50
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: but I think there's a handful of positions that fit

51
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: that criteria. Is if it's too good to pass up,

52
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: or if it's a fifth, sixth, seventh round. Some of

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: that stuff gets thrown out the window too, like this

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: guy is a fourth round or where he's in the

55
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: sixth round. I know he's only a guard, but things

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: change pretty quick around here. What if thoughts and gets

57
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: hurt again and all of a sudden, by week then

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: he's starting, and you know things happened. Yeah. So what

59
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: we'll do is we'll put a we'll go through position

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: by position, and we'll put a number value on it,

61
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: one through five, one being the lowest and five being

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: the highest highest priority. Okay, okay, We'll start at the

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: quarterback position, because that's all anybody ever wants to talk

64
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: about I to me, met I see the quarterback position

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: for the Steelers right now, with with what they have

66
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: on the roster, it's kind of a it's like kind

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: of a three. And we've been doing this too long.

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna I can make an argument for a one.

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: I could absolutely make an argument for a five, but

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna call it a three. And I'm waiting

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: it with what's available, you know. I mean, frankly, if

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: they're picking twenty last year and with this group of

73
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and this roster, you know, with what what do

74
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: they now of right right? I mean, if we if

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: it was last year's group of people coming in the

76
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: league with this current Steeler team, I'd put it at

77
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: four or four and a half, thinking, Hey, if Matt

78
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Jones get the it's why don't you nail him? Or

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, if somebody gets outside the top ten fields

80
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: a lance and you know, not knowing how the draft's

81
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna fall, I might give something up to go get them.

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: So now it becomes more of a priority because there's

83
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: more fish in this ponding that I like. Yeah, no,

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: I agree, I I don't know that. I'm not sure

85
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: if I'm the Steelers. I'm not trading up into the

86
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: top ten to get the Lake Willis. As much as

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: I like the Lake Willis, I'm not going to make

88
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: that move now. If he falls to twelve to fifteen

89
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: and that starts to happen, then I consider it. I

90
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: know this is whatever wants to talk about, and I

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: wish I had a firmer stance on it, and I'm

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: sure I will because I'm still really accumulate in my opinion.

93
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: Because frankly, I'm liking Ridder more than I used to.

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm liking how less than I used to. I'm liking

95
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: Willis a little less than I used to. I'm not

96
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: super excited about pick it, you know, YadA YadA, and

97
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: my opinions on these players keep changing. I mean, well,

98
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: I just said I did a mock draft over the

99
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: weekend for d K Pittsburgh Sports, and I passed on

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round. Willis was gone. I passed

101
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: on picking who I took. Well, the cornerback was there

102
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: from one, Duffy was there. I took McDuffie, and then

103
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: I traded up in the second round to get Ridder.

104
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: See I like that a lot. I went from fifty

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: two to forty two. I gave up next year's third

106
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: to do it, to move up and get Ridder. And

107
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: you know, some people liked it. A lot of people

108
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: killed me for it. And I'm like that that would

109
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: be a good value. See, I think ridders are really

110
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: good prospect. But I and but if you're getting him

111
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: at that Corti'm a lot more on board with it.

112
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Um Again, I don't have a strong opinion part of

113
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: me to make a very strong argument that I wouldn't

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: trade up for any of them. Part of me doesn't

115
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: even care what the names are. But I do believe

116
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: that you can't overspend on There's those things. Overspending on

117
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback and and and giving up just a

118
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: third round pick next year to get that quarter I

119
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: get a quarterback that you shot at one potentially developed.

120
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Like if you were comparing Desmond Ritter to Jordan's Love,

121
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: I think I like Ritter better than Love. I do too, Oh,

122
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: I definitely do. Like if you told me you could

123
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: trade next year's third and this year's second for Jordan's Love,

124
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: or you could use those to move up for Ritter,

125
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: I would definitely rather move up for Ritter. Yeah. I

126
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: also think you need to factor in Trabisky in this

127
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: whole conversation too. Like I was asked this morning this

128
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: version of Trabinsky, where does he go in this draft?

129
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: I think you stop quarterback. I think he's one or two. Yeah.

130
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean what your thoughts on Willis are and how

131
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: you can develop them, Which brings me this conversation about

132
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: Willis too. Is the Willis to Pittsburgh thing is perfect

133
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: for Willis. Willis to Seattle or Carolina or somewhere where

134
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: he's going to ask to be do something, especially on

135
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: an organization it doesn't really have a strong foundation I

136
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: think would be bad for his development and the young

137
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: man where if he comes here and he can truly

138
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: red shirt slash be a package player and as smart

139
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: and as hard a worker as we think he is,

140
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: he has a much better chance of hitting in my

141
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: opinion that if Washington takes him. Yeah, I think he

142
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: could do that in Atlanta too, because there would be

143
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: no pressure to play him because they know they're going

144
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: to be bad, and they've got Mariota there and they

145
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily see that's easy for us, you and six

146
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: and the press is killing in. I think they expect

147
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: to be that. I don't think. Here's the thing about

148
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons are horrible. Nobody cares. It's also important, right,

149
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not they're you know, they're not. They're

150
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: behind the braves in that town and there, and they're

151
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: behind the hawks, and no one's going to gonna work

152
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: grumpy on Monday morning if they're going to right, Yeah,

153
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean so, I think. And he's a he's an

154
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta guy. I could see them. I think he grew

155
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: up like twenty three miles from downtown Atlanta, So I

156
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: could see them, you know, doing that, and you know

157
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: they could they could certainly run a similar style of

158
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: offense with with Mariota. Oh yeah, and you know nobody

159
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: going around them, right, It's just yeah, so I could

160
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: see that happening. But yeah, I think I think. I

161
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: think quarterbacks are three. I don't see it as the

162
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: pressing need. I think they while they didn't necessarily find

163
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know, we don't know. We don't

164
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: know what Mr r Whisky is. They don't know what

165
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: Mr Bisky is. They haven't had them on the field

166
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: for a single workout yet, right, right, right, He's just

167
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: a part of the equation right now. But if if

168
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: they don't get a quarterback in the draft, it's not

169
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: the end of the world. Oh, I don't think she'll either.

170
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't think at the end of the world. All.

171
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: That's why I was gonna given a three is if

172
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: they grab one, I'll get behind it and I'll understand

173
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: if they don't touch one at all, you know, understand

174
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: that too, and say, Mitch, you know, sink or swim

175
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: and we'll figure it out later. If you if you sink, um,

176
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: what was I gonna say about that? And even if

177
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: you do, even if you do draft one, Robiski is

178
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,119
Speaker 1: eight million dollars base salary next year. He's very tradeable,

179
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: right because he's going to play this year and somebody

180
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: will have a quarterback need next year and they'll they'll say, hey,

181
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: we'll give you a fourth round of pick, yeah, from

182
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: Mr Whiskey because he's you know, it's eight million dollars.

183
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: It's very tradeable. Yeah. So, oh, here's what I'm gonna

184
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: say is I'm sure there's some listeners going, Okay, you

185
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: put a three on us right in the middle of

186
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: the road from one to five. Even though The Steelers

187
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: currently have the I'm just gonna throw a random under

188
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: out there, the twenty five quarterbacks best quarterback situation in

189
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: the league. That number has to be hired, guys. That's

190
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: to be a four or five. But it's not like

191
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: should I take Lawrence Fields, Lance or you right or

192
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: lock or you know that the factor and where you're

193
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: picking too, and what's available and what's available, And I

194
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: don't know that they're right now. It's randomly through I

195
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: used to the number out. I don't know. I don't honestly,

196
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I had to sit down and

197
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: rank their quarterback situation in the division, where do you

198
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: put Justin Fields in? But I'd rather have their quarterback

199
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: situation than the Steelers, though, would you would you rather

200
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: the Jets? Though? I still have really high hopes for

201
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Fields and Lands. I never had high hopes for Wilson.

202
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: That's fine, but they haven't shown on it yet. At

203
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: least at least Rabisky has something of a track record

204
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: where he's he's gone out and he has a winning

205
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: record as a quarterback. Oh, I know, I like him.

206
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know these other guys are you know? Yeah,

207
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: they're they're they've been nice prospects, but they haven't shown

208
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: it yet. No, not close. It's approved me. You know,

209
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: you gotta show me in this league. So I think

210
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: here's where we differ. That hypothetical Lynch or the Bears

211
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: GM calls you up and says, give us your whole

212
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: quarterback room for fields or Lance. That's a different that's

213
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: a different conversation because before I think they're in better

214
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: shape them the ceiling, the ceiling for those guys is higher,

215
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: but the floor is also lower. Oh, they're far from

216
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: out of the woods. I mean, I won't argue with that.

217
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: I would just rather have the Bears are especially for Lance.

218
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: I think the floor and Lances, I mean people are

219
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: talking about Lance is Willis to a large degree, to

220
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: a large degree, and not my sure how much that

221
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: year experience really helped him because he didn't play the

222
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: here before. Yeah, he didn't play at all. He only

223
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: started what fifteen games or something like that in college football.

224
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: He only he's only thrown like the only through three

225
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: fifty passes in college football. So he's I mean, to

226
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: the Colbert Tomlin point, we won't be an objective, you know,

227
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: we won't won't ignore any position because we think we're

228
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: set there. But I'm not taking the best player at

229
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: twenty just because he's a quarterback, right, that's not And

230
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: that's where I think a lot of the mock drafts

231
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: out there are going kind of sideways, having the Steelers

232
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: just pick a quarterback just to pick a quarterback. And

233
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: part of it's because we've both been that mock draft.

234
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: You don't want the whole round to go with no quarterbacks?

235
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, like we can't just have a zero

236
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: quarterback first round. Steelers are an obvious landing spot. Yeah,

237
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of all the Saints were. They're not gonna

238
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: take one either, right, Uh, let's move on, Um, stay

239
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Running back one point five. It's not

240
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: a it's not a D minus or an F, but

241
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: it's low on the priority list. And but they need

242
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: to bring somebody in. Yeah. I was gonna say it

243
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: to um, you know if if again, I think I

244
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: actually liked the running back class a little bit more

245
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: now than I did. Yeah, yeah, there will be a

246
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: six rounder. When we're on the air, go and I'll

247
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: think him, Yeah, he could beat out Anthony mcfarlander, he

248
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: could beat out Benny Snell. You know, um, let's go

249
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: to tight end because that's almost the same conversation. Yeah,

250
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: tight end. To me, he's a one. It's a one

251
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: to me. It's probably the lowest on the whole team. Yeah.

252
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: I think you've got You've got two guys there with

253
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: the NFL experience that I like. Uh, I like, I

254
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: like Kevin Rader. Um, you know they they've got some

255
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: other guys there that that you know, could potentially be

256
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: your three. Um. I think that room is pretty solid.

257
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: Not that you would again as we did last Friday,

258
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: he would turn your nose up on a really good

259
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: prospect in the later rounds. But I'm not gonna go out. Yeah,

260
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: I agree, it would be a one off. I mean

261
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: it would be a not the usual. Yeah. Uh, let's

262
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: say offensive tackle two and a half. See, I would

263
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: go three there. I'm not gonna turn my nose up

264
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: at a good prospect, a good offensive tackle. Um. And

265
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: I'd like to add one at some point in this draft. Oh,

266
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: I got it wrong. I was thinking one was the

267
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: highest number again. Yeah, three and a half, three and

268
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: a half okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I don't think

269
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: they'll take one around one. And I don't think I

270
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: would either unless something weird happens, But I think they

271
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: better add one, right, yes, absolutely, Okay, yeah, uh, interior

272
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: offensive alignement one and a half. I was gonna say

273
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: maybe a two there, maybe maybe might be might even

274
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: be one. Um. I just still, I mean, you've got

275
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: you've got four capable centers. You've got you've got you've

276
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: got four guys for you know, basically two guard spots.

277
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got guys with starting experience on that line.

278
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: I still it's funny to me. I still see here

279
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: from fans. Well, they have to draft on offensive lineman.

280
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: They got to find a center, Like, are you crazy? No,

281
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: you're not looking at the death They're not. They're not,

282
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: they're not. They're not drafting a center that's nuts. That's nuts.

283
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: Pure center that can only do that. I mean, he

284
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: has to beat out a lot of dudes just just

285
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: even make the roster and let alone see the field.

286
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking about a six round interior lineman that

287
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: starts to seize on the practice squad. Yeah, but he

288
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: might get scooped up, you know, by somebody else. That's

289
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: always the problem with that wide receiver four and a half.

290
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: I might go five there. I mean, they have to

291
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: add somebody in this draft to wide receiver position, have to.

292
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: They have to. Maybe we didn't lay down the rules.

293
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sitting there thinking the Falcons wide receivers

294
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: are five, you know what I mean? Yeah, I get that,

295
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: but I think the Steelers are pretty close to that.

296
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: You know, the s they have their two starters, but

297
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: you play more than two, and you know two starters

298
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: aren't setting Stone Swan and Stalwarth, gunners pay Johnson and Claypool's.

299
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: His story is not quite written. Gunneral Schefski doesn't move

300
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: the needle for me. Anthony Miller's nice if if he's

301
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: your four or five, but you know, you want to

302
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: do better than that. I think they need to potentially

303
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: add two guys there. I think they need to add

304
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: two guys there, including potentially a first round pick, right, yeah, definitely, yeah,

305
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's our biggest need right now.

306
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: Moving over to the other side of the ball, Uh,

307
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: defensive line will throw nose tackle and defensive end in

308
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: the same category. Yeah, let's just call that. The line

309
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: room and I think we both agree that nose types

310
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean a six ft three sixty pound guy.

311
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: But you know, somebody that lines up over the center.

312
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: It is more pressing than the big, wiry, long defensive

313
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: end types they've had. To me, I don't know what number.

314
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: If we separated that, I would say defensive end is

315
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: a one and a half. Yes, And I would say

316
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: that nose tackle, given what they have on the roster

317
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: right now, is probably a three. Okay, I think that's fair.

318
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know what number to put on it because,

319
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: and again I'll do more homework, but there's really only

320
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: like four or five players in this draft to me

321
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: that would be on my shortlist for Steeler d lineman. Yeah,

322
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm not just adding one to add one because they

323
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: haven't their their numbers already pretty much filled the roster.

324
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll take Jordan Davis, you know, I mean, yeah,

325
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, it has to be a star. There were

326
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: people saying saying, uh, you know, would you trade up?

327
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: Asking me if you when I did my mock draft

328
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: over the weekend, would you trade up to get Jordan Davis?

329
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, the only the only thing I would

330
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: trade for in this draft if I'm the Steelers, I

331
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,239
Speaker 1: would move up for a wide receiver. If there's one

332
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: I have to have, there might be a run. There's

333
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the wide receiver needy teams before the

334
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: Steelers back or a quarterback in any and that's any draft,

335
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: because when you don't have your franchise quarterback, if you

336
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: see one that you think is a franchise or has

337
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: the potential to be a franchise quarterback, there's no price

338
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: too much, right, Yeah, there's Yeah, there's no prices. It's

339
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 1: too high. If you're moving up for a defensive tackle,

340
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: you better be what that one player away from being

341
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl condeb Right, man, I don't think that's

342
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: the white right way to do it. You need your

343
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: other picks, especially for a guy, you know, Jordan Davis.

344
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: While I think he may be able to be a

345
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: pass rusher at the NFL level, he also may be

346
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: a twenty snap a game player. Right. They traded down

347
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: when they took Casey Hampton. They moved down three picks.

348
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: People forget that. Good point And frankly, if he comes,

349
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: if they would draft him, lights up camp. Holy cow,

350
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: this guy is a superstar. He's the next grade Steeler

351
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: to the lineman. He's still probably in places. Yeah, he's

352
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: still what I mean, he's still not on the field

353
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: on passing downs ahead of Tuitor or Hayward. No, I

354
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: mean maybe even louder Milk goes ahead of him. I

355
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: mean like there's a lot of options where he doesn't.

356
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: I love him. I'd love to add him to the mix.

357
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm not giving up picks to go get him, though. No.

358
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean I think there's a real good chance the

359
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: lineman's their first round pick next year. If it's not quarterback.

360
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: That's always yeah, um, edge guys, edge guys. I would

361
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: say that's a two. Okay to me. The Junard Avery

362
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: signing is really interesting. Is he an edge is he

363
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: an inside linebacker? He's done both. They haven't really come

364
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: out and said he's one or the other. No, No,

365
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 1: So I think they'll probably start him out on They

366
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: know he can play inside, right, I think you start

367
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: him out on the edge, depend I think it's largely

368
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: depends on what happens in the draft too. If you draft,

369
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: you draft a young edge guy, let's say in the

370
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: sixth round, then you let the you let the rookie

371
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: get all the snaps there and you keep Avery on

372
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 1: the inside. Okay, I was leaning your backup would probably

373
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: be more of an off the ball guy than edge guy.

374
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: But I think, let's put it this way, I think

375
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: it's unlikely that they'll draft an edge and an off

376
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: the ball livebacker. I believe that's that's true. He serves,

377
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: he serves a dual purpose. He's kind of like Arthur

378
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: Moates was when they brought him in. Mots could line

379
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: up at both spots. He was primarily an outside guy

380
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: who could also play inside. I think Avery is an

381
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: inside guy, off the ball guy who can also play outside.

382
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Why is Anderson or Tindall or some of those guys

383
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: still here in the third round? We have to take him? Well,

384
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: Gerard Get used to rush in the past. Yeah, you're

385
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: gonna You're gonna play the Yeah, so I'm with you.

386
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: It's a two. I don't think I can go with

387
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: the camp with what I have right now. No, I

388
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: think you'll add one at one of the two positions,

389
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: maybe crochet type of but not both. Yeah, A great agreed.

390
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: So we kind of covered linebackers. I mean, yeah, that

391
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: one to me is less of a need because I

392
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: do think one of Flora's his number one jobs here

393
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: is get pushed back on track. Absolutely, make these guys better,

394
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: Make these guys better. We know what Spillane is and

395
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: we can live with them. Avery can be a guy there,

396
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: but he's still in the mix. They spent money on Jack.

397
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: He's never gonna leave the field. But Flora's if you

398
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: can turn Bush into a dude. We have not given

399
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: up on him yet. We don't see a need here,

400
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: right or wrong? You know? I mean, I understand that approach,

401
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: but holy couch and Tindal's there in the third round.

402
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: We never thought he'd be there. They might grab Yeah. Absolutely, um,

403
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: and then you have to make your descen You can

404
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: make your decision about what you're gonna do with Devin

405
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: Bushes fiftier option, and then guys like Spellin and Buddy

406
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: look at each other and go, we're probably fighting for

407
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: one roster spot, right, you know? So I don't know

408
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: yes or no. You can only answer one word. They

409
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: will draft an off the ball linebacker, yes or no?

410
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: I think the answer is no. I don't think they'll

411
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: draft him. I don't think. I don't think they're gonna

412
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: go out of their way to do it. Yeah, I

413
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: get it. If the value is there, then you don't

414
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: you take it? When you figure it out. Um, it's

415
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: very Culbert fashion. They can, they don't need to. I

416
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: just think there's a better chance they draft and an

417
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: edge and then off put it this way, Myles Jack

418
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: replaces Joe Schobert on the roster. Anybody that you draft

419
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: is fighting not so much with Spleen as they are

420
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: Marcus Allen and Buddy Johnson Johnson yea, and those guys

421
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: for a roster spot, and probably more Marcus Allen than

422
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: Buddy Johnson. Right agreed, Okay, uh, let's move the cornerback two.

423
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: I would put that as a three. I think you

424
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: can always add corner. I think they have three that

425
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: they're they're happy with. I give three that they're happy with.

426
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: But if you can overdraft one of those guys, or

427
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: or more specifically, if you can add a slot, a

428
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: guy that that that is a really good slot, yeah,

429
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: I think you jump all over that. I would, I

430
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: mean I would. I guess my numbers didn't reflect this.

431
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: But if it's the third round and I drafted a court,

432
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: draft the two off two players and I'm sitting there

433
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: looking at an edge, uh, second level linebacker in a corner,

434
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: and I have exact same grades on all three, I'm

435
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: clearly taking the corner. Yeah, you know, as I mentioned

436
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: the line, I guess yeah. I took McDuffie um in

437
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: then in my mock draft, not because that was a

438
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: glaring need. He was just too good to pass up. Yeah.

439
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: I think you never passed on a good and he

440
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: could be you're starting slot this year if not more,

441
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: if not more, and you know that that has great value. Yeah,

442
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean corners are pricey too. I mean you have

443
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: Trent mcduffee for five years on a cost control contract

444
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play somewhere in your nickel and or

445
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: bass the whole time that's ahead. You can actually play

446
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: more dime even you know with you you know have

447
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: four corners that you you know, you can slide sutting

448
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: in on the dime and play McDuffie in the in

449
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: the slot as well. In the dime you got Miles

450
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: Jack in the middle. I mean, you think you could

451
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: you could really do some matchup if you know things

452
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: are the would cause team some issues, which also brings

453
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: us a safety because I think that's a five I

454
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: would go for on that. I think they're gonna sign

455
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: somebody before the draft at that position. If they do,

456
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: I will definitely bump into a three year or four

457
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: depending on what type. But I think if I think

458
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: whatever signing it is is going to be a one

459
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: or two year deal, probably a two, and I would

460
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: I would still like to add, uh, a nice you know,

461
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: a nice young prospect at that position, because you'll, again,

462
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: you'll find ways to get that guy on the field.

463
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: What are we calling Norwood? Is he a safety or

464
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: a corner? He's kind of never read his name. Yeah,

465
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's gonna see the field though,

466
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: he'll see the people saying that he could be potentially

467
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: be the strong safety or are completely off track on that.

468
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: He's just not capable. That's not his game. Ideally, when

469
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: camp opens, though, I want to have three safeties I

470
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: like better than Joseph, and right now there's one. Yeah,

471
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, and that's what unbelievably hard to do.

472
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: One of them could be a two year deal at

473
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: three million a year and in a second round pick. Yeah,

474
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: I agree. Um, the specialists they're good, they're you know,

475
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: taking any of those guys. So I do think youth

476
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: is important there though I used to have a young

477
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: and I don't run along on this segment. But you've

478
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: brought up the what's to say, the Michigan guy a

479
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: few times. I'm warming up to that a lot. Dex Hill,

480
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: dex Hill. Yeah, yeah, No, I agree. I think I

481
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: think he's a really good player and you can find

482
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: getting fine ways to use him be a chess piece. Oh,

483
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: he'll play a lot of things, He'll do a lot

484
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: of things for it. Yeah. Absolutely, But that's our that's

485
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: our rundown on the roster. I mean, there's not a

486
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: ton of holes there aren't, you know. I think I

487
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: think right now, safety and wide receiver are the two

488
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: biggest A great agreed. I mean holes are a pretty

489
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: strong term. I mean, could they line up and play

490
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: with their safeties and receivers. I don't think they can

491
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: right now, but there's a lot of resources between now

492
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: and then to get there. Yeah, I agree. I agree.

493
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break when we come back. Mel

494
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,239
Speaker 1: Keiper's updated his big board. I thought we'd go over

495
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: that and see who's moving up, who's moving down. We'll

496
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: do that when we come back. He is Matt Williamson.
