WEBVTT - Draft Show: Drafting Dez's Replacement 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:07.760 He's the Dallas Cowboys dot Com Draft Show. Cowboys on 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.600 there war room for in center news and draft analysis 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:15.000 from deep within the confines of Cowboys headquarters at the 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:21.120 Star in Fresco, Dallas Cowboys Selecte and now your hosts 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:25.520 Dane Brugler, David Hellman and Brian brought us. Well, we 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.800 welcome you to the draft show here in the SWBC 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:33.280 Mortgage Studios. We're down one scout today. We had some 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.680 mechanical issues with Dame Burglar, so we're gonna miss him today. 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.800 David Hellman and I will carry on with you this 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.960 uh this morning and make do right, make do. We've 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.400 got a couple of things that we can talk about today, 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.120 mainly with what's going on with the wide receiver position. 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:55.800 We've hinted that there was a possibility that the stay 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.640 would come when they were released, as Brian and now 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:06.679 you as that transfers into another area of reality. Now 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.880 it's reality now, and you know all the things that 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.600 we've talked about in round tables and speculations and things 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.840 like that, it's it is reality. And so David, I 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:21.039 want to get into these wide receivers this morning, and 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.720 everybody else, Yeah, and and and I want to get in. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.720 I think we've talked about wide receivers plenty on this 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.479 on this program. That's can I just I mean and 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.880 I get I mean, trust me, I get it. Um, 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.720 you know you're talking about one of the best receivers 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:38.080 in franchise history. Sure, we're leading the touchdown leader, uh 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.000 you know, face of the franchise for the last eight 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.480 or so years. But I feel a little bit surprised 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.880 at what seems like the number of people who were 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:48.880 caught off guard by this. Um. It shouldn't have I know. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:53.520 And that's that's my point. Is I feel like, and no, UM, 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.640 I'm not trying to say I told you so, because 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.720 I think most of us there was always an air 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.040 of uncertainty. It was all way as well. I don't 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.120 know for sure, but this timeline David, Yeah, yeah, timeline, 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.040 the way the fact that they didn't talk to Dez 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.960 Bryant absolutely since the end of the seat, I guess 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.760 I can talking to Dez Bryant. He was like, they haven't, 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.359 They've been spoken to me. My point is, like Hindsight's 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.560 twenty twenty, I definitely wasn't and you, to be fair, 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.920 you went a lot firmer than I did. I went like, 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.560 he's gone, you went very firm. Yeah, And I wasn't 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.120 quite ready to do that, but I wasn't surprised. And 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.720 I would hope that nobody that listens to this show 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:35.720 was either which you know people, I would hope that 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.080 it's people who don't really follow this thing as closely 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.760 as we do. Sure they're like, well, what does that 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.840 change at wide receiver? What they got to pick at 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.160 nineteen that like, no, they don't very reactionary fan base. Well, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.120 I think that's just people in general, like nothing has changed, 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.000 because if you're doing this the right way, you've been 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.200 bracing for this possibility since February. We've talked about this 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.400 on the Draft Show. The fact that that of guys 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.360 they brought in for thirty visits, you know, two potential 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.440 first round guys with Ridley and Moore. Yep, they've visited Washington. 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.400 We talked about they looked at every receiver worth looking at. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.960 They had private workouts with with Sutton, They've had workouts 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.840 with Kirk, They've done everything in there. They went down 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.400 to Baton Rouge to work out Shark. You know, they've 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.400 tried to figure out this you should have seen, really 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.840 the old proverbrial, the writing on the wall, writing was 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.560 on the wall. You know, they add two receivers and 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.240 now they look at the draft. I want to ask you, 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:35.560 David Hellman, Yeah, does this mean, though you absolutely have 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.040 to draft a wide receiver at nineteen. No, I don't 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.640 think so either, not even I'm glad you said that, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.720 And that's I mean, it's if you listen to this show. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.160 It's well documented how much I like DJ Moore, But 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.960 it's looney tunes to say that you got a draft 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.880 a receiver at nineteen just because Dez is gone. I 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.520 don't buy it. And that's not the way that they've 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.000 operated in the draft any in the last five years. 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.760 I think I've been saying this since Friday when the 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.680 news came down. I think it's a damn near lock 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.520 that they're gonna draft, gonna take one. They're gonna They're 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.520 definitely gonna draft one, and I would be very comfortable 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.600 betting that it'll be on Day one or Day two, 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.080 pick nineteen, pick fifty, pick eighty one, or maybe a 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.640 trade's involved. Yet I feel even better. On Thursday, I 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.480 came in here and I said, I think you're in 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.239 a situation where if you don't draft a receiver at nineteen, 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.680 you might have to trade up to get the guy 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.080 you want. Yeah, so I wouldn't be shocked if they 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.240 picked a wide receiver at thirty nine or forty, you 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.359 know what I mean. So they're saying move the fifty up. Yeah, 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.520 I could see that. I think, I mean, you gotta 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.200 get a wide receiver, not just because the group could 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.039 use the extra talent, but I think we've talked about 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.880 it a few times. The long term future of this 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.359 entire group is not very clear. You got guys in 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:56.440 contract years, you got guys playing on short deals. Switzer 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.880 and Noah Brown are the only guys with more than 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.200 two years left on the our current contract and their 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.560 Day three draft picks. So that doesn't mean a whole lot. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.039 So put yourself as a fly on the wall, or 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.920 as you're sitting in the in the war room right now, 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.400 as they're working through these receivers, who do you think 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.560 they have on the top of their board? Who would 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.200 you say? Who would you project would be? Okay, this 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.520 is the type of guy that I could see them 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.400 going to get with with what they've added, what they 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.599 have like you said, what would be the type of 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.839 guy that they would go and get of the of 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.839 the top. And it doesn't have to be Ridley and 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.479 more and Sudden or any of those guys. Really, but 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.400 I'm really glad you said that because it's something with 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.200 Dez Bryant gone. I think it's something you've got to 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.160 talk about in more detailed terms than just they need 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.920 a wide receiver, right, So what we're looking at these 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.760 guys and it's I think it's all gonna hinge on 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:55.480 what they think these guys can do, right because you 0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:00.640 let you just let go of the prototypical X receiver, right. Yes. 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.280 And then the thing that Dane has been telling us 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.600 for three months is that Calvin Ridley is probably a 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.400 really high end Z. Yeah, he's not an X. Uh. 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.720 You've got Alan Hearns who can do a little bit 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.679 of all three. But with Dez out of the picture, 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.760 you would assume he's gonna play X. So it's so 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.520 it's what do you want? And it goes back to 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.640 the debate about Courtland Sutton, like, yeah, he's an X, 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.800 he's got a lot of upside, but he's raw. Would 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.760 you would you rather draft an X with upside, would 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.760 you rather draft a really polished Z. Where does DJ 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.760 Moore fit in that equation? What do you want him 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.320 to do? I think dj Moore could play both. I 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.080 think so. I think he could too. But what do 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.240 they think? Yeah, that's what I'm trying to like, I'm 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.680 trying to get your idea what you would think? You 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.200 you really painted the picture? Well what all it is? 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.480 It's and I think you know, but what are they 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.760 hurting more at? They hurt him more at this? People 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.039 might think they're hurting it both X and Z. I 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.760 think I And to be clear, I don't think this 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.440 is some kind of doomsday scenario. Um, this is not 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.560 the most talented receiver corps. I saw, you know, after 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.920 they released Dez. Somebody on Twitter was like, uh, you 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.920 think any defensive coordinators are losing sleep about this group? 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.400 And it was you know the current Cowboys receivers And 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.480 it's no, They're not going to be at the top 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.280 of any Bleacher Report lists of the best receiver groups. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.680 But on a team that is designed to run the ball, 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.240 there you go. Uh you know, do you need you 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.840 need a one? Do you need a one receiver? This 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.240 is probably what the Cowboys receiver corps is supposed to 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.200 look like in the Ezekiel Elliott era. You know, like, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.119 if you're spending forty million dollars on your offensive line 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.320 and eight million dollars a year on your running back, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.000 absolutely probably what your receiver corps get a fourth round 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:46.440 quarterback play. Yeah. Um, I don't think this receiver corps 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.840 is in as diers like I think you can win 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.240 games with the six guys that are that are here 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.120 right now. I mean people love to point out that 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.200 when Dez was hurt in twenty sixteen for three weeks, 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.240 they didn't miss a beat, right, Um, So I don't 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.520 think it's a dire situation. But like I said, I 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.280 think you would like to upgrade, get younger, give yourself 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.400 some long term stability in the sense that whoever you 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.560 draft is gonna be guaranteed to be here for four 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.440 or five years. But it's all about what they want. 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.600 And so I think I think Courtland Sutton is a 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.320 name much more worth knowing now than he was a 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.000 week ago. Yes, because of where he plays, because where 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.320 he plays, because of what he can do, because of 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.400 what he could bring to your receiver group. But if 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.000 you think DJ Moore can do both and he's the guy, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.960 or Calvin Riley for that matter. Sure, I mean, don't 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.000 change the way you're looking at this just because you 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.280 let go of a true X receiver, you know what 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.040 I Mean's kind of where I'm at um. But I 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.319 think that's however they rank these guys, that comes down 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.800 to what they think they can do. I mean DJ Chark, 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.839 where where does he fit in? See Dane talks about him. 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.600 If you get a guy at sixty three that runs 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.120 four three, yeah, but you and I have lived that one. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.559 It's it's I mean, you and I have lived that 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.679 one every weekend. We've lived the highs and the lows 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.720 of a guy like that, and that's it's kind of 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.760 the But that might be your have to trade up guy. 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.080 That's that's your scenario where you're saying trade up for 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:07.920 a guy. This is what I think is going to happen. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.480 I think if the pick is not DJ Moore or 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.000 Calvin Ridley at nineteen or even maybe you have to 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.439 trade up to fifteen to get Ridley's Sure if it's 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.840 not one of those two guys, if they want one 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.320 of their highly prized receivers, that I think I'd be 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.680 surprised if they wait till fifty to get him. Yeah, 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.920 I really do, because I think Courtland Sutton's gone by 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.520 pick forty probably. I think DJ Chark you're probably talking 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.840 about him going pick you know, definitely by pick fifty. Yeah, 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:39.680 so that's kind of where I am is, like, all right, 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.079 if you want one of these five or six dudes 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.599 that we keep talking about, that's what I think is 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.280 going to have to happen. Or you know, you could 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.160 look at it the other way and say, maybe they 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.800 don't view receiver as a dire need, Like maybe just 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.000 what you just explained, because they're there run first team, 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.800 you just wait until you wait until fifty and go 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.559 with what you got, or you go in another direction 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:02.840 if you don't like it, I don't disagree with you. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.040 And then I really like what you said about this 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.199 is a run first team. And so now, okay, this 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.480 doesn't make what has to have tens of millions of 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.360 dollars tied up in your receivers with the way this 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.760 thing is constructed right now, I mean that's just true. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:21.120 So yeah, so I don't know, I but pick nineteen 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.920 and pick fifty or somewhere in between. I feel like 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.480 I feel more important. Okay, so we're gonna keep the 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.960 board open though, right, you have to. That's the whole Like, 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.800 that's what aggravates me. And I'm not calling out the 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.800 various listeners of this podcast because I think y'all know better, 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:41.520 But to like to act like something that happened on 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:46.560 April twelfth is gonna drastically change what you've been working 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.199 on for months. No way. They've been working on getting 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.600 a receiver here for the last several weeks. Didn't we 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.360 get super excited in February when all these receivers kept 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.240 saying like, yeah, I met with the Cowboys. Yeah, sure 0:10:58.320 --> 0:10:59.920 we did this. We did that. They had some guys 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.960 on thirty visits. Like, just because Dez was taking up 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.480 a roster spot in March doesn't mean that the Cowboys were, Oh, 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.120 they were working hard on Why we're say they were 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.760 hunting them at the combine. We talked about that when 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.280 we were there. This is not a surprising development or 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.920 something that they weren't ready for. And so it shouldn't 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.560 change anything about the way you want to do this. 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.600 It shouldn't mean that wide receiver is necessary at nineteen. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.880 It shouldn't mean it's necessary at fifty you're doing it 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.480 wrong if that's the case. I mean, like Alan Hearns 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.760 is here, so that you don't have to do something 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.720 drastic in the draft, that's the whole point. Yeah, so 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.720 I agree with you on that. Do you like the 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.319 the Would you rather trade up for a guy in 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:43.000 the second or go ahead and hit the pick at nineteen? Uh? 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:48.520 Talking fucking receiver, talking receiver. I mean, I'd rather draft 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.600 DJ more, But it depends on who's there though, And 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.720 so you would rather draft DJ more than than Evans 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:58.200 or Vanderis or one of those guys, right, no one 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:02.160 would you know about this? That's defense, that's no and 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:07.080 that like me personally, Okay, Landry, Dave Hellman, Okay, now 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:12.440 we're here, here we go. I want DJ more the most, right, 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.840 But I think he makes the least amount of sense 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.920 of those options. Yeah, we went through all those guys 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.640 the other day. If if Harold Landry's there, he should 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.960 be the pick in my opinion. But Landry Miller Leonard 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.760 remember that scenario again? Yeah, absolutely, that was That'll have 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.080 that And that's a nice little haul. I'm totally down with. 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.079 I mean, I kind of like going back to that, 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.520 the Landry Miller Leonard when I don't know how much 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:39.160 they like Miller. No, and that's what I that's what 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.600 I kind of worry about. Maybe maybe maybe we like 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.280 Miller and I And again this is not me saying 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.360 I mean, I'm not I haven't talked to anybody about Miller. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.440 Anthony Miller has been conveniently as far as I know, 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.000 he's not really part of that. You know, I haven't 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.040 heard he didn't come here. No, he didn't. I haven't 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.839 heard about anybody going to Memphis. Yeah. Um, so that's 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.920 something you got to keep an eye in the scenarios 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.480 of the eight scenarios I gave you Thursday with like 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:08.040 Ridley Jewel Bates, that was scenario one that includes a 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.360 wide receiver, more DJ Moore, Shepherd and more, the safety 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.080 from Southern miss That was scenario two. Yeah. And then 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.120 there's a scenario I have with with Saint Brown. But 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.760 that's with Vanderish Harrison and Saint Brown. Yeah, and I 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.960 liked that one a lot. Maybe Saint Brown might go 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.240 earlier than eighty one, and I think Harrison might go 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.520 earlier than fifty. It's possible, Yeah, it's possible. Okay, and 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.360 then we talked about the Landry Miller. That's another scenario, 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:41.160 Landry Miller, Leonard. If Landry's there, I would pick him otherwise. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.600 Now you're talking wide receiver, let's say DJ Moore, DJ Moore, Verse, 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.920 Rashaun Evans or Clayton Vanderesh. Now I mean she's and 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:53.559 everyone and most of everyone included a wide receiver. Fernandez, Gallop, Avery, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.640 Dane doesn't like Avery, he'll be wrong about him. U 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:02.000 slander the guy. Now he knows, he knows, he knows. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.480 I mean he knows how much like Gabriethy. Gabriel's gonna 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.720 be fine. And then I had Hamilton's you know Hamilton, 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.600 he had Hamilton is one of his best route runners. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.480 The kid from Penn State Day, Shawn Hamilton, Yeah, balled 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.160 out at the Senior Bowl. Had one of them. And 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.280 that that was the veya Golden Again, we're probably putting 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.240 golden in there when the Cowboys don't really like Golden. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.640 To go back to my point, you know, there's gonna 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.600 be so much focus on wide receiver for this team. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.160 Now's like, oh, it's got to be at nineteen, it's 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.240 got to be at fifty Dayshawn Hamilton I mean that 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.120 maybe he's not there at eighty one, but you could 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.200 certainly get him at fifty. You could certainly trade up 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:40.000 from eighty one. Like they're gonna have options deep into 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.360 the draft, and I think they with Deonta Thompson and 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.640 Alan Hearns. I think I'm not trying to sell anybody 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.480 that these guys are all pros, but they've done a 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.240 good enough job of covering the cracks in that group 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.640 that if it doesn't work for him early, I think 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.760 they're gonna be fine with it. I don't think this 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.560 is this creates a situation of desperation by any stretch. 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.480 And if I would be surprised if they don't have 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:06.120 a receiver by Saturday, but I wouldn't be surprised if 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:07.960 they don't get their guy till Friday night. I mean 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.320 round three something, you know, late on Friday, something like 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.480 that. That That wouldn't surprise me. And you add that to 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.480 what you already have, it's not terrible. You think, Okay, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.600 now the comparison's going to be if they take one 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.280 of these wide receivers at nineteen and then what defensive 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.400 player goes Yeah, you know that that'll be okay? Should 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:29.560 they have waited, should they? I honestly I would rather 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.280 have DJ more on this team. See if the choice 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.360 is between a receiver and one of the linebackers, I 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.120 think I would take the linebacker because I think you're 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.400 gonna have a harder time winning games with what you 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:42.760 got at linebacker right now than wide receiver. Does this 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.560 go to their theory that they did last year with Okay, 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:50.200 we took Taco because that's the position that there wasn't 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.760 that they got through the draft. It wasn't as deep 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.040 at the defensive end spot. You got to keep that 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.120 in mind. And I'd certainly feel better about my options 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.160 on Day two and Day three at receiver and I 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.640 do a linebacker, right, I mean absolutely. How many linebackers 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.520 do you really feel great about after the first round? 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.640 And I know, I mean, okay, you love Josie Jewel, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.000 Yeah I don't. I don't know how much they loves it. Again, 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.320 I did my Top fifty this weekend. Yeah, I saw it, 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.440 and I did on my top fifty and like players 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.080 forty seven, forty eight, forty and fifty year all like 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.360 my guys that I don't care. Yeah, it's it's my 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.280 top fifty. You gotta do what I do it. Damn 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.600 one got shat Griffin and yeah I got chat Griffin 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.000 in my top fifty. Okay, but that's because I want 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.040 shat Griffin in my top fifty. I'm not gonna let 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.400 somebody tell me that the guy can't play. Okay, I 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.560 get it. But the thing about it is, though I 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.240 kind of it was, it was, it was tough to 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.280 kind of fear, but I felt like that through my 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.040 top fifty, David I had more wide receivers and I 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.200 did than I did like defensive ends guys like that. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.960 We just did this like linebackers for that matter, I 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.880 can go all day with I mean, okay, DJ Moore, 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.160 Calvin Ridley, Courtland Sutton, James Washington, Christian Kirk, DJ Shark, Uh, 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:03.160 Anthony Miller, Yeah, jam On More, Um, Equanimius, Saint Brown, 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:07.120 say Gallup, Michael Gallop, like the list goes on. In Pettis, 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.000 Dante Pettis, Yeah, there's about Obbs Fountain. I mean, yeah, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.359 I would, especially knowing that you know, Herns Hearns and 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.440 Terrence Williams can start for it, like you don't need 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.640 this guy to carry that. And that was the whole 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.320 reason I didn't think it was a good idea to 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.440 let go of Dez in the first place. Is I 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.240 don't want to put that on a rookie, but you 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.480 have veterans who can step in and do that until 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.760 he's more acclimated. I'm the guy to tell you that 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.439 Hearns has some similar trades to Dez. As far as 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.920 the Ralph, there's we had Pete Prisco I did Radio 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.360 one oh five three. Yes, say, Pete lives in Jacksonville. 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.119 You know, covers the Jags, knows the Jags. He was 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.800 talking about Hearns. He's saying, hey, listen, he's very similar 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.600 Dez Bryant in the way he runs. You know, Dez 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.600 is not the fastest guy, and Alan Hearns is a 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.680 little bit of the same type of guy. So, yeah, 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.119 they're gonna have to figure out some things outside I have. 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.000 I have a good feeling about Alan Hearns. Um I don't. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.119 I'm with you on that. Yeah, I'm with not that 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.560 I wanted to get rid of because I felt like 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.920 they should have tried to do something with Dez Bryant. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.879 Agreed they never did though, you know, but to the 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.560 original point, there's about ten receivers that I think could 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.399 develop into really good players. Although and some of them 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.359 you can get as late as the third round linebacker, 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.520 I don't feel quite as good. Okay, how about this one. 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:24.760 I gave you scenarios six Evans Shark and sent it 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.720 from the from South ful Okasa defensive tackle, the one technique. 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.200 They've got some three technique traits. Yeah, Evans the linebacker. 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.960 There's your trade up, probably for Shark right there, right, 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.119 And I'm in it for that. Honestly, you did a 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.640 I'm worried about those scenarios because I like them all 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.520 so much, though I assume they're not very realistic because 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.200 I never feel that good about it. Yeah, I tried 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:51.680 to put them where spots were. Okay, of More and Ridley, Yeah, 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:57.440 give me why yes? And then why not? I'm not. 0:18:57.440 --> 0:18:59.280 I'll play with you on this one too, I'm not. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.760 I mean, I wouldn't hate either of those picks, right. 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.840 Calvin Ridley's size scares me a little bit. He's a 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.520 mean see Marvin Harrison, I keep tweeting that out. He 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.760 kind of looks like Marvin Harrison body type to me. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.760 He Okay, you just compared him to a Hall of Famer. 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:14.920 I know, but body type, I didn't compare him to 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.119 like the guy catching them. He catched the football. He 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.520 can run routes. Bruglar has him is one of his 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.879 three best route runners in the draft. He Isn't that 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.440 something we need here? Yeah? Absolutely, he came in here 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.800 on a thirty visit. Yeah. And I saw him in 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.400 the looks slight. I was just like, dude, you look 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.720 like you're gonna get broken in half in the fl 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:35.600 which I mean, the production speaks for itself. He balled 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:39.160 out at the in the SEC so but so so 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.480 size is a no. Yes is what he's I mean, 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.520 he's the best route runner in the draft. He can 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:49.879 create separation, he can do all that good stuff. Um. 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:53.240 I mean, and and I'm not dame, but like I wonder, 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.639 is there more flexibility than we give him credit for 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.560 just playing the Z And I'm saying, does he could 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.280 he do more than that? I think he could. That's yeah, 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:04.000 I kind of it. But it'd probably be the best 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:05.800 to keep him on the move, like you say, so 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:09.200 you don't break him in half. I would not dislike 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.919 that pick that I just and you know, there's just 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.520
