00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: so you don't want to miss that as the draft

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,120

Speaker 1: draft is only two and a half weeks away, Greens.

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: It is happening. It is going to provide a great

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: diversion in an outlet for sports fans, specifically NFL fans

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: and Jets fans. So I'm getting pumped for this virtual

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: draft off. That's not what we thought it would be,

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: but we're gonna make do and and make this the

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: best thing possible. Alright, First things first, NFL draft analyst

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah. Here's the interview and E and I will

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: break down right after it goes without saying, but first

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: things first, how has this pandemic been affecting your day

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: to day basis and then really affecting the draft and

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: how to evaluate these prospects? Well, you know what, first

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: of all, our you know, our family, our thoughts and

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: prayers everybody in your area there, because I know what

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: we have in California is one thing. What you guys

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: have been dealing with work is tolferent. So we're thinking

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: about you guys, praying for for your community. But um,

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: for me personally maybe one of the only people, it

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: hasn't really been that different. Um, I didn't get a

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: chance to go out to money produce, which I would

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: have been gone out to the six or seven prod.

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, I'm home, I'm watching tape,

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm preparing for the draft. Uh, you know, looking at

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: different teams on the phone, which has been It's been

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: interesting because with the general managers all at home right now, Um,

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: there's not as many people popping in their offices, so

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: I've actually had more conversations with gms around the league

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: in the last few weeks, and I have prior to

42
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: any of the draft, So it's been good for me

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: from a communication standpoint. Obviously, the kids are home, uh,

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, doing school from home. But my kids are

45
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: a little bit older. My youngest is twelve, so uh,

46
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: they're they're self sufficient and everybody's doing quite well. Great

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: to hear that everybody is doing well. DJ, you were

48
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: a former Area Scout yourself before you took the job

49
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: at NFL Network in two thousand and twelve. How do

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: you think it's impact in those guys, specifically Area Scouts,

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: National Scouts, the guys who were on the ground throughout

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: the year, and now the elimination of pro days, the

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: elimination of the prospect visits to the facility, How have

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: things changed in how are guys relying on the computers now?

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: As far as getting to know the prospect at the

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: end of the process, Well, first of all, I think

57
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna find out who was diligent during the fall

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: and who were the guys that weren't procrastinating saying oh,

59
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: I've got time, I can talk to this person on

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: campus when I'm there for the pro day. I can

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: catch up with this player at another point in time

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: down the road. If you were diligent and really doing

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: your homework on these kids through the fall as an

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: area scout or a cross checker National scout. UM, it's

65
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: gonna really benefit you during this time because again, we

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: can all figure out the players. You can watch the

67
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 1: tape and figure out who can play and who can't

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: play the challenge. And a lot of times you miss

69
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: on these players because you don't get to know the person.

70
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: And you've had chances now with a with a good

71
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: number of these guys to to be around a little

72
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: bit in the fall out of practices, talking with coaches

73
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: and seeing them practice live in person, go to games,

74
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: see him at All Star Games, see him at the Combine.

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: To me, I think there's enough there to really get

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: a good handle on these guys if you've been doing

77
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: your work now. Uh, in terms of some of the

78
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: scheme stuff, as the coaches come into the process, how

79
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: do these guys retain your information that you want to see? Uh?

80
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, teams are trying to be creative with that

81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: was was skype and phase time doing something like we're

82
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: doing right here. Um, get a chance to email the

83
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: kid a you know, a playbook, a really you know,

84
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: tiny playbook, and then say, hey, we're gonna skype you

85
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: get in touch with you tomorrow and we'll go over

86
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: these things. And you're you're really it's it's almost like

87
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: recruiting because you're allowed a couple of contacts with these

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: kids per week. So I know some prospects and talking

89
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: to them. You know, some teams, you know multiple times

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: a week. They're having basically these sessions with them to

91
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: really get to know them. So look, you find a way. Um,

92
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: don't be the guy that that uh is sitting in

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: your in your house as a general manager saying well,

94
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: we're screwed this year. You know what am I supposed

95
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: to do? Now? Figure it out? Find a way and

96
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: figure it out. And I think most people are doing that.

97
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: So the Jets have four picks in the top seventy nine,

98
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: and if you were to look at their needs per

99
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: se and entering this offseason, you probably say receiver, tackle, edge,

100
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: and corner. So if you're Joe Douglas, like, what's your

101
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: ideals Mario here in those top seventy picks the four

102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: selections there, well, I would look at it and just

103
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: say a couple of those positions being filled. I think

104
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: you pretty much hit on all of them. Um, in

105
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: a perfect world, you get one of your top tackles

106
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: to fall to eleven, and you know, is that guy

107
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: gonna be there? I mean there could be you know, three,

108
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: or potentially even the top four guys go. If the

109
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: top four guys are gone, I don't see them taking

110
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: the fifth player at that spot. And to be honest

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: with you, I don't know the order that they have them,

112
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: but I would imagine it might even be a case

113
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: where it's the top three. You know, if one of

114
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: your top three tackles is there, you pick them. You've

115
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: got to address that. You know, even with what you've done.

116
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: I like Fan and you know it's a high upside

117
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: signing there in free agency. Chuma Dogas got a lot

118
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: of ability, but he's not there yet. I still think

119
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: there's a need at the tackle positions. So that's the

120
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: perfect world where that's there for you eleven. Now with

121
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: these picks, with the two and the two threes, now

122
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: you get a combination of a receiver or corner, an

123
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: edge rusher. You know what, whoever the best available player is.

124
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: And I have a feeling that if they don't go

125
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: receiver at eleven, man, they're gonna have some really intriguing

126
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: options there in the second round. You've been doing some

127
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: great things on your Twitter account at Move the Sticks.

128
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: I watched you every day. Very recently. You were looking

129
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: at Jets wide receiver coach Sean Jefferson son Ban Jefferson,

130
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: and you have a lot of good thoughts. Starred sam Um.

131
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something, though. The wide receiver group

132
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: this year tremendous depth, and everybody like yourself has been

133
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: talking about that. Give me a couple other position groups

134
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: that really you really like down the line, maybe beyond

135
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: the first round in terms of depth. Yeah, well, look,

136
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: you've got the receiver position. I think the running back

137
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: position is a really solid deep group. I think that's

138
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna kind of go into the third, fourth round. You're

139
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: gonna see good backs there. Another one when you look

140
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: at the linebacker position before the combine, you know, I

141
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: kind of done a once over on this linebacker class.

142
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't super excited about it. And then man, you

143
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: watch all these guys run and work out, go back,

144
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: you watch more tape. I think there's more depth there,

145
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: uh than maybe we initially thought, now that's an area

146
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: the Jets are in good position. I don't see them

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: go on linebacker anytime early in the draft, but there

148
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: is some depth there. Corner is solid. Um, it's a

149
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: solid group. Maybe a little bit disappointed with where we

150
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: ended up in that position, but I think there is

151
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: some depth in that second third round. Guys like Damon Arnett,

152
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: guys like Jeff Gladney from TCU. I think those are

153
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: good second round type players. They're gonna be there when

154
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: the Jets are picking if they wanted to go with

155
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the corner. But really, you know, to me, I would

156
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: say that the position that really stood out the most

157
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: outside receiver, probably running back. So in terms of receiver

158
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: for somebody like e A and you talked about it

159
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: on your Twitter, like Van Jefferson, even somebody like Brian

160
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Edwards out of South Carolina who didn't have an opportunity

161
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: to participate in the Senior Bowl of the Combine, Like,

162
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: how much is their stock affected by not being able

163
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: to show these teams that won they're healthy and to

164
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: just not having the athletic testing that they could have

165
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: proved at the Combine. I think the athletic testing is

166
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: not as big a deal. Um, the medical is that's

167
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: the whole thing, you know, So where are they health wise?

168
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: And this is the challenge for for these players and

169
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: for these teams. It's really the biggest hurdled have to

170
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: overcome is trying to get updated medical information on these players.

171
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: So you know, in free agency they were very proactive

172
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: in terms of sharing information and uh, and be interesting

173
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: to see how this thing all comes together with these

174
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: combine rechecked players that aren't going to be available to

175
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: be rechecked. So it's gonna be kind of on those

176
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: agents to to get updated information to these clubs so

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: they can be comfortable with where these guys are at

178
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: health wise. But I do think there's probably around penalty,

179
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: which means, you know, Van Jefferson probably there's a chance

180
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: he could have gotten the second round. I think it's

181
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: a phenomenal player, but because of this a little uncertainty there,

182
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: maybe that he drifts into the third maybe potentially even

183
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: to the fourth round. But I would say the third

184
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: round is probably his sweet spot. Um. And it's it's

185
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: like that for a whole host players. There was another one, Um,

186
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little bit of a concern with

187
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: his top speed, but his game is all about physicality

188
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: and toughness and uh contested catches, So I don't think

189
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: that will cause him to drop. Just trying to get

190
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: again the updated medical information is going to be the challenge. DJ.

191
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: Do you like the way Joe Douglas did approach free agency?

192
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: He targeted needs, He set ceilings in terms of his targets.

193
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: He also said, we're gonna wrap a bowl around Sam Donald.

194
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: We gotta protect our franchise quarterback. And also he talked

195
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: about flexibility in terms of, hey, listen, I don't want

196
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: to go into the draft and have this glaring need. So, um,

197
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: what did you think about how he kind of maneuvered

198
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: throughout the first couple of weeks of free agency. Well,

199
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I thought he had a good job. You know, Joe

200
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: had a plan and talking with him prior to free agency,

201
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: he had had it mapped out of kind of what

202
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: he wanted to do and what he wanted to get accomplished.

203
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna come out there, you know, fire, and

204
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: in that first wave they were gonna have numbers and

205
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: stay within that budget. And you know, the good thing,

206
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: the exciting thing if you're a Jets fan, out there

207
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: is you know, this team right now, they filled holes.

208
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: They can take the best available player at pick number eleven.

209
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: That's the first thing. And the second thing is when

210
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: you forecast into the future and uh, you know, let's

211
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: we got this year coming up. But once you get

212
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: to one and get to that free agent class, there

213
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: is tremendous flexibility and opportunity for the Jets to make

214
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: a big push, uh in the next offseason with free agency.

215
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: The way this is set up, with the one year contracts,

216
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: with some other contracts, are gonna be able to get

217
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: out from under. There's gonna be a lot of freedom

218
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: and a lot of liberty there to make a big push.

219
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: So this is exciting. It's kind of like, you know,

220
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: I feel like with Joe, if you to a pool,

221
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: you kind of go down to the bottom, and then

222
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: you can really you can spring up. And and I

223
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: think right now you're getting a chance to see them

224
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: kind of come up off the bottom. And I think

225
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: next year you're gonna see this thing really take off

226
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: with some of the people they're gonna be able to

227
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: add to this mix. But to me, this this offseason

228
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: was gonna be about the draft first and foremost, and

229
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: free agency was gonna supplement what they do in the draft.

230
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: But to me, the the key additions for the Jets

231
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: in the off season have yet to come. They're coming

232
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: here in a couple of weeks. DJ so E and

233
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: I have talked about this too. Joe Douglas is the

234
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: first time as general manager, so you can't really get

235
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: a feel for how he wants to operate outside of

236
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: seeing who we learned from and you think of guys

237
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: like Azi knew So and Howie Roseman, and when talking

238
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: about trading up, not at eleven, but the Jets have

239
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: capital in the third round to potentially make a move

240
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: up into the second round or even to the back

241
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: end of the first round. Can you just kind of

242
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: talk about philosophically why that could benefit Joe Douglas and

243
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: the Jets. Well, I think you can make a you

244
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: can make an argument for that. I don't see that happening.

245
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: I think if you see the Jets move around in

246
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: this draft, they're gonna move back. Joe is very confident

247
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: his evaluating ability. He's confident in the group that he's

248
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: assembled around him, you know, led by guys like Phil Savage,

249
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: Rex Hogan. He's as you're outstanding. So to have confidence

250
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: there in a draft it's this good in those middle rounds,

251
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: I think you're trying to add to that number, not

252
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: subtract from it. So you know, short of potentially their

253
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: number one tackle being on the board at number nine, um,

254
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they could go up just two spots

255
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: and wouldn't be quite as costly. I think that would

256
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: be you know, potential opportunity there, But again I would

257
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: say more than likely. You're talking about if you're gonna move,

258
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: you're moving back to get extra picks. There's still a

259
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: lot of holes on this roster, and uh this year,

260
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: the second third round picks, those are too valuable to

261
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: part with, in my opinion, do you think there would

262
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: be a group of players there at eleven if there

263
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: is a run on quarterbacks early where maybe a team

264
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: calls Joe and says, okay, we'll give you an extra

265
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: two or an extra three to move back two or

266
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: three slots in that first round, where you might potentially

267
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: do you think there's a situation where you could have

268
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: a group of players together at that tackle position and

269
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: potentially wide receiver and say, hey, maybe it's our best

270
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: bet to go back because I do have a stack

271
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: here that have similar ratings on our board. Yeah, I think,

272
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: especially if the top tackles go UM. To me, there's

273
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: a case you can make to trade back because there's

274
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna go receiver, there are so

275
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: many good options there. So if somebody else is one

276
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: that they're particularly in love with, UH and they want

277
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: to give you a nice price, a team like Denver

278
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: that's picking fifteen, where you wouldn't have to slide back

279
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: too far. Um, the Raiders picking right behind him, a

280
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: team that looks to be in the wide receiver market

281
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: could be one of those deals where you get a

282
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: little something just to slide back one spot. So UM,

283
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: I think those those opportunities would present themselves. I just

284
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: don't see if there's a tackle that they really like.

285
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: I can't envision a way they would trade off of

286
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: that pick instead of sitting there right then filling a

287
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: need on this football team, and goes back to the

288
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: theme that you guys mentioned. You know, Joe uh knows

289
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: he's got to protect Sam Donald. It's gonna go as

290
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: far as Sam Donald can take this team. So that

291
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: to me is number one priority. And if you've got

292
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: to tackle that you feel good about. You don't trade

293
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: that pick. All right, DJ, we appreciate you coming on

294
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: New York Jets dot Com. And stay safe out there

295
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: in California. You guys, be safe, man. It's great to

296
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: catch up with you guys. All the best, Okay. So

297
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: obviously a great interview with Daniel Jeremiah, who's, like he said,

298
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: one of the only people who's not affected by the

299
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: stay at home effect here and the quarantine rules because

300
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: this is basically his time to self quarantine preparing for

301
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. But what I thought was interesting in

302
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: terms of Daniel Jeremiah's interview was that he basically said,

303
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: the way that the Jets have gone about their free

304
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: agency so far it allows them so much flexibility in

305
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: one and same thing for the draft. And it seems

306
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: like the emphasis that DJ place was really on next season. Well,

307
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: he's the first guy who actually has spoken about one

308
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: with the Jets, saying that the free agency class next

309
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: year looks very good on paper. And the one thing

310
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: that I got out of Joe Douglas last week that

311
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: struck with me, well, I guess a ton of things,

312
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: but what struck with me was depth. He wanted to

313
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: build the depth of this roster, and he certainly did

314
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: that so far in free agency. Now, if you're looking

315
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: for the Jets to make a splash, maybe they make

316
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: a splash in the draft, maybe they make a splash

317
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: or two in one in free agency, but that was

318
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: definitely not the plan here this spring and free agency.

319
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: All right, and looking ahead, Now, let's hear from Dame

320
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: Brusler of the Athletic who, like I said, we do

321
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: a weekly segment on New York Jets dot com, so

322
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: you can also check it out there in video form.

323
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: But Dan and I break down different scenarios for the Jets.

324
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: So this week we talked about potential defensive players for

325
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: the Jets at eleven, offensive tackle options in round two,

326
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: and then of course capped off by wide receiver prospects

327
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: in round three. Dane, let's take a look at some

328
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: scenarios here for the Jets as the draft just a

329
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks away, and an unpopular opinion, I'll say,

330
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: in terms of mock drafts, as if the Jets in

331
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: fact take an offensive player at eleven and so, do

332
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: you see that more as a trade back scenario or

333
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: are there in fact players not named Jeff Kuda not

334
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: named Chase Young, that are worthy enough of that eleventh pick. Yeah,

335
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: I think so, and a trade back is always an option.

336
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: But if they stay put at eleven, um, you know,

337
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: I think most of us, uh, both fans and analysts,

338
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: we would agree that offensive tackle wide receiver. That looks

339
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: like the two biggest needs and probably the two most

340
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: realistic options in the first round. But you know, if

341
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: the draft played out exactly like we expected every year,

342
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: this wouldn't be any fun. So let's keep it open mind,

343
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: and let's talk about, you know, players on the defensive

344
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: side who could be there at eleven and would be

345
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: worthy of consideration. And I think it starts at edge

346
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: rusher with Clavian Chason Uh. After Chase Young, there's a

347
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: little bit of a drop off at pass rusher, but

348
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: good chance that Chase on from l s U is

349
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: that next pass rusher off the board somewhere in the

350
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: top fifteen or sixteen picks. He has that twitchy athleticism,

351
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: the body bend where you can capture the corner, he

352
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: can drop playing space. Is still maturing physically and technically,

353
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: but you know, I think you'd like to see him

354
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: a little more advanced with his counters, how he uses

355
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: his hands, but he's a high ceiling edge defender. And

356
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: you know, you look at the Jets and you know,

357
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: bringing back Jordan Jenkins on one year deal, that looks

358
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: like a smart move. But I think that no one

359
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: would look at that depth chart and say, Okay, they're

360
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: done building at pass rusher. They could use more some

361
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: more help, and I think Chason would certainly give them that.

362
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: Now if they want to go in the secondary, I

363
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: think that's also an option that would make sense. And

364
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: it's similar to pass rusher, where you know there's an

365
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State defender at the top. You look at cornerback

366
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: jeff A. Kuda, the almost near consensus top corner in

367
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: this draft, but there's a little bit of a dry

368
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: up off after him, and then Florida's C. J. Henderson.

369
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: I think he's, like chas On, projected to go somewhere

370
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen sixteen picks, and he would make

371
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: a lot of sense right there at eleven. He's over

372
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: six one, he's a fourth three athlete, plays sticky coverage.

373
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: I wish you were a little bit better of a tackler.

374
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: I wish he was more of a playmaker when you

375
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: watch him on film, but he's gonna be a starting

376
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: corner in the NFL for a long time and the

377
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: Jets could certainly use a guy like that. So the

378
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Jets and Joe Douglas clearly want to build this offensive line.

379
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: And the draft is predicated on unpredictability. So let's say

380
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: that the Jets don't go offensive tackle and round one,

381
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: and to your point, do take an offensive player if

382
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: they were to go offensive tackle and round two? Who

383
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: are some names that makes sense there? The one that

384
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: really stands out is Isaiah Wilson from Georgia. A massive

385
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: human being six six and a half three fifty pounds,

386
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: thirty five and a half inch arm length, and he's

387
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: not a bad athlete for a guy that size. He

388
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: makes it tough on rushers to run the arc to

389
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: win inside so and then in the run game he

390
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: creates movement with that that brute strength and meanstreak that

391
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: he has. Uh, you do wish he was a little

392
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: more technical, technically refined with his hands. Uh. He's only

393
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: read shirt sophomore, so the fundamentals I think are still

394
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: catching up with the natural skill, and that leaves him

395
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: leaning in space laboring a little bit, so a little

396
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: bit of a work in progress as a technician, and

397
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: his personality might not be for everybody, but that's what

398
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Him in a second round, not the

399
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: first round. So he has NFL starting potential. He just

400
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: might need a little bit of time. And I tell

401
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: you that second round is tough for these tackles because

402
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna see six or seven going the first round,

403
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: and then there's a little bit of a drop off

404
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: that I don't see many of those tackles falling to

405
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: the mid second round. But then I don't think that

406
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: it might be or it it might be a little bit

407
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: of a reach to take one of those third round

408
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: tackles like Matt Parrot from Yukon or uh take a

409
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: Wino Go from Auburn. Some of these guys might be

410
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, where the Jets are sitting in the second

411
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: round might be too early for them, So I Zeah

412
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: Wilson might be kind of that perfect compromise there in

413
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: the mid second You know, if we were to talk

414
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: about receiver now in the third round, a lot of

415
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: fans would be like, you know, what's going on here,

416
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: why didn't you select receiving rounds one or two. But

417
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about this before, and I

418
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: think it's pretty well documented across the league how rich

419
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: this receiver classes. So if the Jets were to select

420
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: a receiver on in round three, they have two picks

421
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: in the third round. Like, are we talking about a

422
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: Day one contributor even potentially a Day one starter? And

423
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: who are some names that you think makes sense? Yeah,

424
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: And that's exactly it, because of the volume of receivers

425
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: in this draft that are gonna go on Day two,

426
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: especially uh, guys that can make an incident, impact guys

427
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: that can come in and be productive. So one of

428
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: the guys I have my my eye on for a

429
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: team with the Jets is a prospect too. Unfortunately hasn't

430
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: had a great draft process, but that's also why he

431
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: could be available in the third round. And that South

432
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: Carolina is Brian Edwards. He had a knee issue, a

433
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: minor knee issue that force him to miss the last

434
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: game of the year, forced him to miss the Senior Bowl,

435
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: and then he broke his foot training for the for

436
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: the Combine. So he's missed basically entire predraft process. Uh,

437
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: and that could cause him to slip a little bit

438
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: because we don't have the testing numbers on him before

439
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: the draft. Uh. And in this crowded receiver class, that

440
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: could be the difference. You know why a guy like

441
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Colin Johnson or UH. You know, some of these other

442
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: receivers could go ahead of him. Van Jefferson was also

443
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: dealing with his own injury stuff, but that could be

444
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: great news for a team picking in the third round

445
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: looking for receiver help. And with Edwards specifically six three

446
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds, big bodied receiver. You see that on slants, screens, crossers. Uh.

447
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: It needs to be a little bit more reliable finishing catches,

448
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: especially down the field. But the athletic skills, the physicality,

449
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: that's what really can make him an NFL weapon inside

450
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: or outside. You mentioned Brian Edwards. You also mentioned Van Jefferson,

451
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: two people that have been dealing with injuries in this

452
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: pre draft process tests. Given the status of the world

453
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: right now with the coronavirus pandemic, you know, how does

454
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: this affect their stock With no pro day, with no

455
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: medical recheck, how is the evaluation process changed. It's definitely

456
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: an unprecedented process. Um. And you know with UH not

457
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: having the pro days, not having the medical rechecks, not

458
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: having the visits, the thirty visits, that's really the big

459
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: thing because when teams invite these guys to the facility,

460
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: that's when they can have their medical team, uh, you know,

461
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: do the check up and find out more about a

462
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: guy like Van Jefferson and who had the Jones fracture

463
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: and his foot. They can get an update on that,

464
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: how is that healing. Brian Edwards had the broken foot,

465
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: get an update on that, what's going on with that?

466
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: Uh even you know, from a broader perspective to a

467
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: tongue of aloa, how will that affect him? In the

468
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: early portion of the draft. So it's really going to

469
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: have a ripple effect, and some teams are gonna be

470
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: a little more uh risk adverse with how they you know,

471
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a little more conservative with the you

472
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: know guys that were they know the testing, they know

473
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: the medicals. But then you have a team that might

474
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: have a little more appetite for the risk and take

475
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: a chance on one of these guys who might fall

476
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. He's got that discount sticker on him

477
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: because there's a little more risk involved, but it could

478
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: be a high reward type of situation. Uh, and that

479
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: could be the case with a guy like Brian Edwards

480
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 1: or Van Jefferson. So basically what you're saying is, Jets

481
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: fans don't be alarmed if Joe Douglas decided to take

482
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: a receiver in Round three, considering this receiver class has

483
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: a chance to be historic. Dane, thanks a lot, and

484
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you next week. Great things, all right,

485
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: There you have it Brugler's draft board, and that was

486
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Dane Brugler. E A. You watch a lot of college football,

487
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: and Dane talked about somebody out of South Carolina named

488
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: Brian Edwards, the receiver who had a lot of hype

489
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: coming into this year. What do you think about a

490
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: guy like Brian Edwards? Well, I go back to South

491
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: Carolina and think about the receivers they had on the outside.

492
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: He was a teammate at Deebo Samuels. Now different player. Uh,

493
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: he's not a burner in any means, but he's a

494
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: guy who's tough. Uh, he'll run good routes, he'll get

495
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: the contested ball. In a deep wide receiver class, he

496
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: is a guy to really watch out four, probably on

497
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: Day three, right Green's Yeah, Brian Edwards would stuck out

498
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: to me what Dane said. He's one of those guys

499
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: that has the discount sticker on him because teams can't

500
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: access medical information or they don't they can't have their

501
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: teams conduct physicals that you would normally do on a

502
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: top thirty visit because they just don't exist anymore, the

503
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: Top thirty visits unless it's through FaceTime and it's virtual.

504
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: So the independent doctors might, to Dane's point, might not

505
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: be so independent, it might be a little biased to

506
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: try to help a player improve his draft status. So

507
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: a player like Brian Edwards, Van Jefferson another one, Labisco

508
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: Chenal just going off different receivers who banged up during

509
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: the pre draft process and don't have an opportunity to

510
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: really prove themselves and improve their draft status. So I

511
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see where guys who have

512
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: medical questions go. Obviously two attack of Bolo as a

513
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: headliner there, But we'll see what happens in just a

514
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks again April April, and it's gonna be

515
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: a weird, weird draft considering it's probably all going to

516
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: be virtual in some capacity. We just don't know the

517
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: details yet. That was another edition of the Official Jets
