1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,239

Speaker 1: Slammed the ground by Budda Baker like a torpedo. He

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: came flying into the backfield. Connor to the ten, to

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,920

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Here we go, one hand to catch it a touchdown?

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 3: Oh baby, how's that fail?

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: Here's Craig Griolou, Paul Calvis, and three time Pro bowler

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: Kyle Vandenbosch.

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 4: So good news, gentlemen. The draft speculation is in the

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 4: rear view mirror. Now there's different speculation now, Paul, because

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 4: we are gonna speculate on how these twelve new faces

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 4: fit within the Cardinals, whether that's offense or defense. And

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: I prefer this kind of speculation as opposed to, Hey,

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: what are the Cardinals are gonna do with that fourth

18
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: overall pick? And they're twelve total picks overall.

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 5: And you know what, we don't know, and we won't

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 5: know for a couple of years.

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 6: Right.

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 5: It's sort of like we went to all went to

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 5: a party Saturday night, very nice, and the attire was

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 5: described as snappy casual. I have no idea to this

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 5: day what that really means, but I did my best.

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 5: And that's what you do in the NFL draft. You

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 5: really don't know. You think you know, you do all

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 5: the homework, but then the games will tell the real

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 5: story and see if you had positive return on investment

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 5: or not.

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: kV B.

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: How would you define snappy casual?

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm curious what did Paul wear? Snappy casual?

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 4: Let's move it along.

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 5: We got a lot to talk about, got a lot

36
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 5: to talk about. That's a segue point, Craig.

37
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: Twelve selections, the most in a single draft since the

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: draft went to a seven round formats in nineteen ninety four. Yes,

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 4: the headline is Marvin Harrison Junior. But overall, you look,

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: Kyle at the twelve selections, six on offense, six on defense.

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: Seem like they went a little bit more heavy in

42
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: the defensive back category. But what do you think overall

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: in year two for Monty asin for it.

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: Man just checks so many boxes and you know the

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: upside of all these players. I mean, at first glance,

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: you know, it's there's a lot of question marks, especially

47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: at the back end, and then you look closer and

48
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: you're like, yep, home run, home run, home run, home

49
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: run in and again it's it's a lot of like

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: what we saw with the free agent class that Monty

51
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: brought in. It's its experience, it is dependability, it is versatility.

52
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: It is guys that have played multiple positions. It is

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: guys that have you know, played a lot of games,

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: Guys who have played through injuries, guys and and you know,

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: to me, you know you can see that that's how

56
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 3: they're trying to form this roster. Guys that have been captains,

57
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: Guys that are leaders, Guys that you know, have been

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: through and have faced a lot of adversity and and

59
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: have shown toughness, Guys with high football IQ, guys that

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: you know, quote unquote love ball. And that is what

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm excited about. I'm excited about this locker room and

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: the type of players that are walking through this building

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: and are going to be coming into this building and

64
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: are going to be here for this training camp because

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: you know, it's the the best you know, to me, again,

66
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: and I've talked about this before, when when you the

67
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: best teams are formed when the best players are the

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: hardest workers. And it's with this draft. You can look

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: at just our top two picks, right they they it's

70
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: obvious their talent. It stands out on film. You can

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: see what they did in college and how they performed

72
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: and at times how they dominated. But then you listen

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: to their college coaches, and you listen to their college teammates,

74
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: and you can hear how they work and how diligent

75
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: they are, and how they prepare and how we almost

76
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: NFL ready they are just based upon their work ethic,

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: and so you know, that's what makes me excited. I

78
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: don't feel like the learning curve is going to be

79
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: very sharp with a lot of these players in this

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: draft class.

81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 5: Kyle's point reminds me of what Jonathan Gannon said over

82
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: the weekend. Do you guys notice a pattern? He was

83
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 5: talking to the media, sort of rhetorical question, do you

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 5: notice a pattern and the sort of player that Cardinals

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 5: are targeting? Number one, they're deadly serious about football, all ball.

86
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: And then number two. I firmly believe that this administration here,

87
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 5: these decision makers believe it's a big man's game So

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 5: whether it's Marvin Harrison junior, whether it's Darius Robinson, Trey Benson,

89
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 5: whether it's Isaiah Adams, the interior old lineman who played

90
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 5: a lot of tackle out of position last year, whether

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: it's six foot one and a half corner Elijah Jones,

92
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 5: I mean, go up and down, Xavier Thomas with some

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 5: incredible athletes out of gifts that had him rated higher

94
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 5: than Micah Parsons coming out of high school and a

95
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 5: freshman All American. I just think those are two patterns

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 5: that you do see in these two draft classes. Under

97
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 5: montiosin Ford and a smart football class. As far as

98
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: this draft class is concerned, a handful of these players

99
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 5: have their masters already, a handful have gone into school

100
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: for six years.

101
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: A lot. It was because of the COVID year. The

102
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: only underclassman drafted was Marvin Harrison, junior, fourth overall out

103
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: of Ohio State. Will discuss him, but first let's hear

104
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 4: from GM Monte Austin Ford on his thoughts on first

105
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: the person and then the player.

106
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 7: I think spending the day with Marvin was great. The

107
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 7: combine interviews are quick. It's a quick just a small

108
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 7: sample size, but the thirty visit the whole day. You

109
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 7: really get to get a good feel for who these

110
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 7: guys are as people. And so I would say with Marvin,

111
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 7: just maturity, accountability, dependability. You know, I'd say he checks

112
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 7: all those boxes. He's been around football his whole life,

113
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 7: and I think just really excited about the way he

114
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 7: approaches his job.

115
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: You look at what Marvin did on the football field,

116
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: two time first team AP All American, two time Big

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 4: Ten Receiver of the Year, the Bolitnikoff Award winner, and then,

118
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: as you heard Moni discuss, he grew up in this

119
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: game his father, Marvin Harrison, a Hall of Fame wide receiver.

120
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: Big shoes to fill here, Kyle, But you get a

121
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 4: sense that everything that young Marvin has done has been

122
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: with an eye towards this moment. Yeah, that Harrison on

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: the back of the jersey means something. It is means

124
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: a lot. But he wants to forge his own path

125
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 4: in the NFL.

126
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's been apparent.

127
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 6: You know.

128
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: You could hear it from Paris Johnson Junior, the way

129
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: he has spoken about him, in the way he has worked,

130
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 3: and you hear about when he came in as a freshman,

131
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: he didn't come in, as you know, Marvin Harrison Junior,

132
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer's son, and expect things to be

133
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 3: handed to him. He came in before six am workouts,

134
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: hitting a jugs machine, and treated his college career like

135
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: a job, like he was already a professional and it's

136
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: already paid dividends. And you know, again, that's what makes

137
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: me excited. You know, I don't feel if there's one

138
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: position in the NFL where and it has happened in

139
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: recent years where oftentimes a rookie can step in and

140
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: make a huge contribution and make a huge splash, particularly

141
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: in their rookie years, it is the wide receiver position,

142
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: and particularly if they're immensely talented like Marvin Harrison Junior is.

143
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: But the way he is polished, and the way he

144
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: has worked on his craft already, and the way he

145
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: works at his game and prepares his body, and honestly,

146
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: I'm excited about the way he has approached this whole

147
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: draft process because you know, I know it has been

148
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: criticized by some. The fact are the way he approached

149
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: the combine. You know, he didn't run at the combine

150
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: and didn't do some of the things that some of

151
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 3: the players typically do. But he's preparing for next season already.

152
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: He's he wants to. He's already a step ahead of

153
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: a lot of the other players in this draft, a

154
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: lot of the step ahead of a lot of the

155
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 3: receivers already because he's already been preparing for the next season.

156
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 3: He wasn't preparing for his forty, he wasn't preparing for

157
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: his ten, he wasn't preparing for his short shuttle. He's

158
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: preparing for next season. So I love it. He's a

159
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: true pro through and through, and I expect him to

160
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: be ready, you know, once training camp starts, once these

161
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: mini camp starts, and look polished from the start.

162
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 6: I think.

163
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: I think Paul Marvin actually had an off season compared

164
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: to a lot of these kids coming out of college,

165
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: where it's right from college and you get to that

166
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: pre draft process. I think, to Kyle's point, you're gonna

167
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: see a fresh wide receiver out there this offseason and

168
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: training camp.

169
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 5: Is the NFL a business everybody now, Yes, it was

170
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: a business decision. He was already the top receiver, he

171
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 5: was the top rated non quarterback on the board. Why

172
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: risk that status? Why test? Just get ready for the

173
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 5: season and he was right. He was the top non

174
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 5: quarterback drafted. And to go back to that freshman year,

175
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: think about who we had to practice against man to

176
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: go all Alan Iverson right, He's out there with Garrett

177
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 5: Wilson and Chris o Lave and Jackson's Smith and Jigba right,

178
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: and he's competing against those guys. And then when Garrett

179
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: Wilson and Chris Lave declared for the draft and didn't

180
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 5: play in the Rose Bowl, he gets his first career start,

181
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 5: three touchdown receptions in Pasadena. That's the sort of pedigree

182
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 5: you're getting in Marvin Harrison Junior said.

183
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 4: A Rose Bowl record with those three receptions going for touchdowns.

184
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: Now priority number one for Marvin, Yes, learn the playbook,

185
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: But more importantly, maybe than that, is earning the trust

186
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 4: of his quarterback Kyler Murray.

187
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 8: Absolutely, you got to earn the trust of the quarterback.

188
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 8: And I think it starts to every day in practice

189
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 8: and being consistent. Really and you can't just do it

190
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 8: one day, can you do it for one week? Has

191
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 8: to be done o run over and over again. I

192
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 8: think that's how trust has earned. So no matter where

193
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 8: you get picks, when you're first receiver, it's round seven

194
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 8: doesn't really matter. Have to go and earned trust to

195
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 8: a quarterback, your coaches, your teammates, so it all starts

196
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 8: in practice.

197
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: And I liked what Marvin had to say Paul at

198
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: his introductory presser when asked about Kyle Er Murray quote,

199
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 4: it's my job to make his job easier.

200
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: And he's going to do just that. He's gonna make

201
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 5: Trey McBride's job easier, he's gonna make Michael Wils's job easier.

202
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 5: To here's Paris Johnson Junior tell it out on the

203
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 5: stage of the draft party when we brought Paris out

204
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 5: to welcome his former and now once again teammate, and

205
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison Junior is up on the jumbo tron. He's

206
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 5: most definitely going to make the offensive lines job easier

207
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: and more enjoyable. How many times Paris Johnson Junior watched

208
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 5: chunk throws down the field while he's locking up his dude,

209
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 5: that's the way it works when you have Marvin Harrison

210
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 5: Junior and Trey McBride said more than once. Yeah, he

211
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 5: could take the double coverage take it away from me.

212
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 5: That's fine.

213
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: And what I love about that quote is probably no

214
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: position in the league is there are more divas across

215
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 3: the league in the wide receiver position. And I don't

216
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: hear mes and eyes when he talks. He's talking about

217
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: I want to make Kyler Murray his job easier. I

218
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: want to help him accomplish his goals. It's not me.

219
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 7: I don't.

220
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: It's not about getting a thousand yards for me. It's

221
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: not about setting the rookie touchdown record, It's not about

222
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: any of that. All he talks about is helping Kyler Murray,

223
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: about helping this team. And what does Jonathan Gannon always

224
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: talk about putting the team before yourself, And that's what

225
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: you hear from Marvin Harrison, JUNR.

226
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: There might not be a person that was more excited

227
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: with that selection than Kyler himself. We saw the video

228
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 4: posted on social media on Thursday night, and then the

229
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: following day, Friday, Marvin Harrison his introductory press conference making

230
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 4: the rounds. Paul and I, you had a chance. We

231
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 4: had a chance to have him right here in this

232
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 4: radio studio, here at the Dignity the Health Arizona Cardinals

233
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: Training Center. And this is what happened. In our last

234
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: question that was asked to Marvin Harrison.

235
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 5: Kyler murray Man. He was fired up in the video,

236
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: but on social media that must have made you feel good.

237
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 8: And then it makes you feel great to have the

238
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 8: support and love your quarterback already obviously had to go

239
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 8: out there and earn his trust. Now, so now I

240
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 8: trust And.

241
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 4: Here he is speaking of the devil.

242
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: That's good, sir, Kyler. Why don't you sit in grab

243
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: a seat, sir. I'm ready to go.

244
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, alright, good, Well the time in I mean great time, yes,

245
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 4: totally unexpected. And I heard voices behind me and I thought,

246
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 4: you know, we're running long, Paul, we're talking too much

247
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: to Marmon. He's got to go. And all of a

248
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: sudden the door opens and boom, here comes your starting quarterback.

249
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: You all these reality TV shows supposed to be spontaneous

250
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 5: in the moment right when it's really scripted. No, that

251
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 5: was in the moment. We didn't see that one coming.

252
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 5: He came right through on cue, spoken into existence. There

253
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: he was materialized right in front of our eyes. He

254
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 5: had a camera following him. I guess he was doing

255
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 5: rounds around the building or whatever, so he was on

256
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 5: the move. And uh, besides, we didn't have another microphone

257
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 5: available at that very moment. But we'll get him back

258
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 5: in and get him to sit out with Marvin Harrison Junior.

259
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 5: Just the smile on Kyler's face set it all.

260
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 4: Quarterback needs a top playmaker. Kyler's got a top playmaker.

261
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely yeah. I dare say he came in here to

262
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: say hi to YouTube, and it just just so happens

263
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: that Martin Jr. Was in the room. No, I can

264
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: assure you that that was not That's what happened.

265
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 5: See, here's the deal. Look, sometimes quality just exceeds quantity.

266
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 5: So I know I was entertaining all these thoughts of

267
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: three first round picks. Sometimes you just have to stick

268
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: and pick and take a guy who might change your

269
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 5: offense for the next decade.

270
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: Monday Morning Quarterback. Here on a Tuesday edition of the

271
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 4: Cardinals Red Seat, holding myself accountable, we continue breaking down

272
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty four Cardinals draft class. Focus a little

273
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: bit on that defense. When we come back here on

274
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: the Arizona Cardinals Radio Network, Zuri brings pressure and they

275
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: throw Larry down Larry Darius Robinson. Here's Brown pan Brown

276
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 4: is sacked.

277
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: He is taken down by Darius Robinson.

278
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: Thinking at six, Larry take it down he cut Parler,

279
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: triggering Karrius Robinson comes up with a sack that Tro

280
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: kicked on.

281
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 4: Malachai Melted, call me Max count its.

282
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: Touchdown Scarlet Knights and looking torch Brin Boebl and that

283
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: bow inside the five yard line is intercepted by Max Melton,

284
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: Carton trolling on.

285
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: Max Melted with the Packers.

286
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: So after the Cardinals went offense with that fourth overall

287
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: pick and selecting Marvin Harrison Junior, the next two selections

288
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 4: twenty seventh overall, Darius Robinson defensive end out of Missouri,

289
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: second round forty third overall, Max Melton, cornerback out of Rutgers,

290
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: GM Moneyosen for going defense with his next two selections,

291
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 4: dressing the front seven and then addressing the secondary. As

292
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 4: we say, welcome back, it is the Cardinals Red Sea

293
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: report Greg Raya lupaal Calvc and Kyle Vanenbosch. As we

294
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: take these players one at a time, and let's start

295
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: with the defensive lineman Kyle. As you look at the numbers,

296
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 4: certainly very impressive. Six five to eighty five first team

297
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: All SEC, eight and a half sacks, fourteen tackles for loss.

298
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: Someone who can play the entire defensive line. They in fact,

299
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: they kicked him outside as a defensive end later on

300
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: in his career at Missouri. And right now we're kind

301
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 4: of left for up to room to debate as far

302
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: as what we might see Darius position on the D line.

303
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can play him anywhere. He has played anywhere.

304
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: You know.

305
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: To me, he's a physical freak. He has, you know,

306
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: such a long wingspan, long arms, huge hands. He he

307
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: looks like he's your prototype, you know, like five technique,

308
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: four eye, strong, violent with his hands. He he operates

309
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: really well in tight spaces like he's he's really good

310
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: hand to hand combat. You know, he's he's he likes

311
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: to use inside leverage, likes to power rush. He is powerful,

312
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: he is violent, plays with a good motor, consistent effort.

313
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: So you know, you I think you can use him

314
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: anywhere from outside eye of one tackle to all the

315
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: way outside eye of the other tackle and move him

316
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: around to take advantage of matchups to a large degree

317
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: a lot like you use JJ Watt and you know,

318
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: just use his quickness, use his length, and he can

319
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 3: you know, be your inside pass rusher and also come

320
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: off the edge at times. You know, I don't necessarily

321
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 3: know if you know, I didn't see him rushing in

322
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: space a lot, coming off the edge a lot. But

323
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: I do think that he can take advantage because he

324
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: is so strong, so powerful, and so violent that he

325
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: will be able to win one on one matchups inside.

326
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: I mean, think about it.

327
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 5: They kicked him outside for his final year at Missouri

328
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: and he was first team All SEC. I put a

329
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 5: lot of credence into that honor. And it was interesting

330
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 5: when we had a chance to talk to him in

331
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 5: studio and we asked him, all right, you know, there's

332
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 5: always something and everyone's scattering report that they take issue with,

333
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 5: right that might end up being a chip on the

334
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 5: old shoulder. Pat, I said, what didn't you like about

335
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 5: your scouter report? Almost everybody has something, he said, you

336
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: know what I didn't like. I didn't like the fact

337
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 5: that everybody thought I had this unbelievable week at the

338
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 5: Senior Bowl. No, that was me every week, like I

339
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 5: just all of a sudden turned it on come the

340
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 5: Senior Bowl.

341
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 6: So I like that.

342
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 5: I like the fact that maybe he was a little unknown,

343
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 5: little underrated, you know, in Missouri, at least in terms

344
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 5: of the national media and some of the spotlight, but

345
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: the SEC coaches knew what they were looking at, hence,

346
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 5: once again his position on the first team All League.

347
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: It is a nice addition for head coach Jonathan Gannon.

348
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: Here's JG's thoughts on what he is getting out of

349
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 4: Darius Robinson.

350
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 9: Violent, violent, violent, really good in the run and pass

351
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 9: game and can win in multiple spots in both the

352
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 9: run in the pass game.

353
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 4: Not just once did JG mention the word violent, Kyle,

354
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 4: He's mentioned it three different times with an US pause

355
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 4: in between. And you talk to Darius, the person couldn't

356
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: be nicer of an individual. But as we see a lot,

357
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: you step in between those white lines and then you change,

358
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 4: you become something different, and a lot of teams saw

359
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 4: something different in Darius Robinson a year ago.

360
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: Yes, violent and again a student of the game. I mean,

361
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: I think we've all by at this point heard about

362
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: his preparation and how he studies and what his week

363
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 3: looks like, and you know he he's NFL ready. From

364
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: that standpoint, I think that is to me, the biggest adjustment,

365
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 3: particularly for a defensive lineman, is learning how to study

366
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 3: offense and figuring out what their plan is for the

367
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: week and you know, figuring out how am I going

368
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 3: to approach the run game, how am I going to

369
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: stop the run? How am I going to what's my

370
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 3: pass rush plan this week? What am I looking at?

371
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: And he's he's already figured out a lot of those things,

372
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 3: and that's going to serve him well. He's he's going

373
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: to come in with a lot of that knowledge already.

374
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: He's already has a plan about how to prepare himself

375
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: mentally for a game week, how to prepare his body

376
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: for a game week. So you know, I think again,

377
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be a pretty immediate presence

378
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: on this defensive line and be a big factor for

379
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals.

380
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 5: Yet Kyle's point, when he described his typical week and

381
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 5: everything that went into it and all the film study

382
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 5: and everything else he did to get ready beyond just

383
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 5: being physically ready, that was beyond impressive for a college guy.

384
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: And he used the words obsessed with football more than once,

385
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 5: and by the time you're done listening to him, you realize, yeah,

386
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 5: he's not kidding. That's not just rhetoric, something for an

387
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 5: NFL interview. So this guy looks NFL ready from that standpoint,

388
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 5: and then you take his physical skills right, and you

389
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 5: combine it with that preparation mentally, and so I'm curious

390
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 5: to see what sort of instant impact he might be

391
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 5: able to have.

392
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 4: Well, let's hear from the Cardinals new defensive end Darius Robinson.

393
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: He spent five years at Missouri, the lessons he learned

394
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: at school at Missouri.

395
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 9: You know, we had some tough seasons, but we were

396
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 9: really built with an edge, energy, details, gret in, emotional consistency.

397
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 9: And I just find myself just trying to grow and

398
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 9: get better each year and also as a team, you know,

399
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 9: win more games each year.

400
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 6: And that was my home.

401
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 9: I was my family. I was blessed to, you know,

402
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 9: get two degrees as well off the field, and I

403
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 9: just love Missou.

404
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 6: Two degrees.

405
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah, I had the same reaction as Marvin Harrison

406
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 4: Junior did during that introductory press conference on Friday. Two degrees. Yeah,

407
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 4: I got one degree. Look, I never played college football,

408
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 4: but I know it's a full time job.

409
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: You can weigh in.

410
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 5: You've got to be pretty dang disciplined to be a

411
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 5: full time SEC starting defensive lineman and pull off two

412
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 5: degrees even over a five year span. That's pretty dang impressive,

413
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 5: really impressive. And also what is impressed about this young man? Look,

414
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 5: you know what, what are we seeing now? In college football?

415
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 5: A lot of these players are looking for handouts? What

416
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 5: how much can I get from nil? How much money

417
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 5: can I get in my pocket? I'm gonna go to

418
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 5: another school because they're gonna offer me more money. What

419
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 5: did this young man do with his nil? He started

420
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 5: a foundation. He's looking at how can I give back

421
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: to the community. How can I help kids? Can I

422
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 5: give backpacks? How can I help them, you know, with

423
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 5: resources and supplies for school? And he's already looking at

424
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 5: how he can help this community, how can help the

425
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 5: Phoenix community? When he gets here, and you know, he's

426
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: gonna be great for this community.

427
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 3: And again, I can't stress enough players like this, they

428
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: are forced multipliers. We will see his impact on the field,

429
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: but his impact in the locker room. When you bring

430
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: in a young man who quotes from his teammates that

431
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: say he is the best leader I've ever been around,

432
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 3: When they say as he went, we went, that will

433
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: bring everybody in the locker room. It will raise the

434
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 3: level of play of everybody. And again, when at some

435
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: point he will be one of the better players on

436
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball. Maybe early, maybe a

437
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: couple of years down the road. But when your best

438
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: players are your hardest workers, that will show the younger

439
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: players next year's draft class and the draft class after that,

440
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: what it takes to be a true pro, because he

441
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: already understands what it takes to be a pro, and

442
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: they will follow in his footsteps and they will learn

443
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: themselves what it takes to be an NFL professional.

444
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: So the selection of Darius Robinson ended night one. Day

445
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 4: two began with the Cardinals trading out of the thirty

446
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 4: fifth overall selection, traded with the Falcons moved down to

447
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 4: the forty third spot, plus picked up another third round selection,

448
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 4: and with that forty third overall pick Cardinals out of themselves.

449
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 4: A cornerback, Max Melton, out of buckers five to eleven

450
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 4: one eighty seven, ran the sixth fastest forty among cornerbacks

451
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 4: at the scouting combine. Here is Max Meltin immediately after

452
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 4: his name was called on a conference call with reporters.

453
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 4: I'm a locked down corner I can lock down anybody.

454
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 4: I ran four to three nine. I can jump out

455
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 4: of the gym. I can jump far. And I'm a

456
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 4: real athlete, so you know I can play inside outside

457
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: of versatility. I'm on special teams. I'm a willing special

458
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: teams player. I don't just go out there and just

459
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 4: to play the season to play it. I can't wait

460
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 4: to help my team win in any type of form

461
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 4: of fashion. You love the confidence, and you gotta love this.

462
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 4: Nick Saban on ESPN during the draft coverage quote, this

463
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 4: is my sleeper corner in the whole draft. Wow end quote.

464
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: So I would think Nick Saban knows what he's talking

465
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 4: about when he's talking about a defensive player.

466
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 5: I did not hear that. Yeah, that's high praise. That

467
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 5: definitely gets your attention. Well, look, he has the speed,

468
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 5: he has the confidence, two things that you must have

469
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 5: to play the position well in the NFL because you

470
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 5: will be beat at some point. But he's described as

471
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 5: having a frenetic playing style and he's hard nosed. Lada

472
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 5: Rutgers grew up in Joysey, right, So Boom had three

473
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 5: block kicks in twenty twenty two, so he's willing to

474
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 5: lay it all on the line. Sounds like a Jonathan

475
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 5: Gannon type corner. That's a position he knows, probably better

476
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 5: than any he coached it for so long as a

477
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 5: position coach. Although when the Cardinals traded down, there was

478
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 5: a moment apprehension. You know, at number forty went Cooper

479
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 5: to Gina, Number forty one went kool Aid McKinstry right,

480
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 5: and number forty two Kamari Lassiter and you're like, oh boy.

481
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: And then the Cardinals ended up with Max Melton. And

482
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 5: to hear Moni oscid Ford tell it, when they make

483
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: those trades, they're sure to do the math. Okay, are

484
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 5: there enough players between now and when we would pick

485
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 5: with this pick? We just traded for that we still

486
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 5: like enough players that it's worth that position on the board.

487
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 5: And the answer was yes, and boom, the pick was

488
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 5: Max Meltin forty.

489
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: Starts over four seasons, can play outside, can play nickel,

490
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: and already with a history with Marvin Harrison junior, they

491
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 4: met catched up a couple of different times in college.

492
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 4: And to hear Max Melton talk about it, held his

493
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: own against MHJ. What do you like about Max Melton

494
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 4: the Cardinals? We hope immediate corner, whether that's a start

495
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 4: or certainly part of the rotation this season.

496
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's versatile. Like Pauli said, he's very

497
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: sticky in coverage. I love his experience. You know, forty

498
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 3: starts in four years, and he's got great ball skills.

499
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 3: I mean, and he's got multiple interceptions in each of

500
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: his last three years. And that's a big deal. You know,

501
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 3: when you as a corner, it's not just about you know,

502
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 3: covering the guy, it's can you get the ball? You know,

503
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: as Jonathan Gannon says, the ball is the game and

504
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 3: if if we can get those turnovers on those fifty

505
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 3: to fifty balls at times, And honestly, with all of

506
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 3: the corners, I mean that's a common theme is they

507
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 3: all have great ball skills. But Max Melton especially, he

508
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: has shown that ability in the college game when the

509
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: ball's in the air, he has the ability to go

510
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: up and get it.

511
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing. He had the third highest athleticism

512
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 5: score among all cornerbacks in the class. That's a next

513
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 5: gen stat. I'm not exactly sure what goes into that,

514
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 5: but I think it denotes man there's upside there. And

515
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: then I also also makes me wonder and we'll get

516
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: into this with some of the other Cardinals' draft picks.

517
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 5: Could Garrett Williams come out of the slot, come out

518
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 5: of nickel, and maybe be a possibility outside because you

519
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 5: do have the versatility and a number of these dbs

520
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 5: and corners that you drafted in this class. And I'm curious,

521
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 5: you know, I know I've written down Garrett Williams is

522
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 5: starting nickel corner, but who knows. The only real known

523
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 5: I think is Sean Murphy Bunting is one of your

524
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 5: starting corners. After that, it's gonna be really competitive.

525
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 6: Well.

526
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: J G has always said that he views a slot

527
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 4: corner as a starter, So you're gonna see Garrett Williams

528
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 4: on the field, just a matter of where on the

529
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: football field. And going back to the ability to take

530
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: the football away, Cardinals only had eleven interceptions last season,

531
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 4: and that was a theme that we can discuss here

532
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: as we continue on the Cardinals red Zer with some

533
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 4: of those other selections in the secondary, whether it was

534
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 4: a couple of extra cornerbacks or a safety. The ability

535
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 4: to take the football away and give it back in

536
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 4: the hands of Kyler Murray and company. It is the

555
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 4: Two new additions to the Arizona Cardinals. Trey Benson, running

556
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 4: back out of Florida State, a third round selection, sixty

557
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 4: sixth overall two time leader and rushing yards in fact

558
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 4: average better than six yards of carrying his two seasons

559
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: at Florida State and then the fifth round Cardinals addressed

560
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: outside linebacker the edge rusher position. Xavier Thomas one hundred

561
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: and thirty eighth overall out of Clemson, three year starter,

562
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 4: seventeen and a half career sacks. Welcome to the az

563
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 4: as we say, welcome back. It is the Cardinals Red

564
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 4: Sea report Craig rayol Loopaul Calvic and vaned Bosch. Taking

565
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: a look at the other names, again, there.

566
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: Were a lot.

567
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 4: There were twelve players selected by GM MONTI Austin fort.

568
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 4: We've touched on three of the twelve. Anyone else out there, Kyle,

569
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 4: as you look whether it was an offensive player, a

570
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 4: defensive player that you know what I like, won the position.

571
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: I like the player and the fit within the Arizona Cardinals.

572
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually there's a lot. I'll start with Trey Benson right.

573
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: Here's one of the things I love. You talked about

574
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: six point one average. He had ten touchdowns that went

575
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: for thirty plus yards. He is the home run hitter.

576
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: And what did we see with this offense last year?

577
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: In twenty three to Arizona Cardinals. They led the NFL

578
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: in twenty plus rush, twenty plus yard rushes. Right, they

579
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 3: were second in the NFL and forty plus yard rushes.

580
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 3: So the Arizona Cardinals already had those explosive runs last year.

581
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: Now you add this explosive running back to this offense,

582
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna steal from Pauli here. You want to

583
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: talk about a Holy Canoli stat? In one game in

584
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 3: high school, Trey Benson rushed for three hundred ninety two yards.

585
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,959
Speaker 3: He had seven touchdowns. Seven touchdowns. He also had an

586
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: interception return for a touchdown and a two point conversion.

587
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: So by himself, he accounted for fifty points in one

588
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: game in high school.

589
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 5: That's a triple dang right there, that's what that is

590
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 5: on Trey bencon Yeah, he had like the highest athleticism

591
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 5: score of any running back. So and he has the size.

592
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 5: I'm really curious what sort of weight he can handle.

593
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 5: I guess at the combine he was two sixteen. In

594
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 5: his pro day he was two twenty one. Where do

595
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: they want him in terms of weight? But you talk

596
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 5: about cram it vertical. There's nothing like a rookie with

597
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 5: fresh legs and size to spell James Connor and you're

598
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 5: running it between the tackles with impunity. We saw enough

599
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 5: of that last year, so absolutely definitely looking forward to

600
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 5: Trey Benson.

601
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 4: The third fastest running back at the scouting combine of

602
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 4: four three nine forty. So yeah, he makes a couple

603
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 4: of guys missed at the line of scrimmage.

604
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 3: He gone.

605
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,959
Speaker 4: Now the question, might we see one of his new

606
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: teammates blocking for him opening it up some holes? A

607
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: tight end selected eighty seconds overall, one of those four

608
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: third round draft picks, Tip Ryman, tight end, Al Illinois

609
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: sixty five two seventy one poly His stats are not

610
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 4: going to wow you at all, but you've got to

611
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: be wowed by what he is able to do as

612
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 4: far as blocking guys or as he likes to say,

613
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 4: mauling somebody, moving a person against their will from one

614
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 4: position to another.

615
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 5: Just the fact he went from walk on to team captain.

616
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 5: Just the fact that at his size he's still able

617
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 5: to have this top athleticism score among all tight ends

618
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 5: higher than brock Bauers what at six five two seventy one.

619
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 5: To have that physical mentality to get out there and

620
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 5: and to hear the scouts talk about his blocking film

621
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 5: and the nastiness at the point of attack, I mean,

622
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 5: if you gave me one guy that I'm most intrigued

623
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 5: to see in person, he'd be this guy. Honestly, it

624
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 5: kind of reminds me of a Gronk type scout and report.

625
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 5: He has the size, he has the blocking ability, but

626
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 5: he has the ball skills. He's going to keep a defense,

627
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 5: honest And I mean, you go out there and now

628
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 5: all the different possibilities in your personnel groups. Because we

629
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 5: saw Drew Patson last year go empty with boar receivers.

630
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 5: You saw him go with three tight ends at times.

631
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 5: You run this guy out there again a big man's game,

632
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 5: and you're gonna inflict your will along with some of

633
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 5: these offensive linemen and big running backs like Trey Benson,

634
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 5: as we mentioned in James Connor, I tell you this

635
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 5: is going to redefine kram At vertical at times this year.

636
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 4: Kyle, I want to get your thoughts, but first let's

637
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 4: hear from the Cardinals new tight end Tip Ryman on

638
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: being a blocking tight.

639
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: End, maweling somebody.

640
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 4: I like putting my hands on somebody and doing.

641
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: What I want and just moving exactly where I want

642
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 3: it and against their will. It's fun.

643
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 9: I feel like it's a gift the Lord gave me,

644
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 9: and I'm honoring him and doing that, no.

645
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: Question, Kyle. The quotes of the three days of the

646
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: twenty twenty for NFL Draft at least among the Cardinals'

647
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 4: twelve selections. But you hear that from someone who comes

648
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 4: in at six five two seventy one, and the ability

649
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 4: to open up holes, whether that's for a James Connor

650
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 4: or a Michael Carter or Trey Benson. First instincts is

651
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 4: to block and then okay, if you need me, yeah,

652
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 4: I need to work on my pass catching ability, but

653
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 4: I can do that as well.

654
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, what you love is whatever role you give him,

655
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: he's going to embrace it. I mean he he also

656
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: played five hundred and fifty five special team snaps in college.

657
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: So the kid will do whatever you ask of him,

658
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 3: and he's going to do it as absolutely as hard

659
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: as he can. And from what you hear from scouts

660
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 3: and particularly at the Senior Bowl, he is a good

661
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: route runner. He can catch the ball. He he only

662
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: had fifty nine targets in college, but he had zero

663
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 3: drops and of his fourteen of his nineteen catches in

664
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: college were either for a first down or for a touchdown,

665
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: So he is dependable. If you do throw him the ball,

666
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: he is going to catch it. But this kid is

667
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: a whole nother level of tough. I mean, if thank goodness,

668
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 3: me and this kid were not in the same draft class,

669
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 3: or we would have absolutely hated each other because he

670
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 3: is all about blocking and finishing and I hated these

671
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 3: types of tight ends. But I would have loved to

672
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 3: have him on my team. And this guy will make

673
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals better. He's going to improve the run game.

674
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: He is going to make defensive ends on other teams quit.

675
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 3: They will absolutely tuck their tail and quit in the

676
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: fourth quarter going against this guy.

677
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 5: What would be the over under on training camp fights

678
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 5: if you were in this draft class with Tip Ryman three.

679
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 3: In the first practice.

680
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing. The director of operations and player

681
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 5: Personnel at the Shrine Bowl said he's one of the

682
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 5: most underrated players in the draft, among the top athletes

683
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 5: at tight end ever complete an nflready blocker, displayed range

684
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 5: as a receiver, still a sending tight end. So when

685
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 5: I say he's the most intriguing guy in this draft class,

686
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 5: that to me is Tip Bryman, Like what is under

687
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 5: the hook that we didn't get to see because they

688
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 5: have these visions and catching chunk throws and looking for

689
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 5: a safety to just demolish.

690
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 4: Not only a physical presence on the field off the field.

691
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 4: Three time academic All Big Ten honouree. So the Cardinals

692
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 4: adding more than just talents amongst these players, They're adding

693
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 4: quality people as well.

694
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna have to dust off the word jack

695
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 5: stomp when it comes to Tip Ryman. I'm gonna write

696
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 5: that down right next to his name. How do we

697
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 5: grade this class? We'll get into that next here on

698
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals Radio network.

699
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 6: Hello is this Jaden?

700
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 3: Is there?

701
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: Hey Jaden, this is monte O Support calling from the

702
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,960

00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,200

704
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 7: And hey, this is a this is I know this

705
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 7: is a really special moment for you, and this is

706
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,959
Speaker 7: a really special moment for our team.

707
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 6: I don't know if you know the name Pat Tillman.

708
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 7: Pat was drafted to this organization twenty six years ago

709
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 7: and it was with this very same pick, number two

710
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 7: hundred and twenty six in the draft.

711
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 6: He was a dB. You're a dB and we are very,

712
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 6: very fortunate that we're going to make you a Cardinal

713
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 6: with this pick.

714
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 10: You just heard many describe the importance of this pick

715
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 10: to us and historically. But I hope you're with your

716
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 10: family today and celebrate twenty six years ago. I actually

717
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 10: called that pick in, which was a super cool moment

718
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 10: for us and for me personally.

719
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: How you doing, buddy, something great?

720
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 6: You excited? Yeah? Very I know, right?

721
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 9: Or waiting?

722
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 11: Man, waiting on it?

723
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 2: I know, I know.

724
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 6: Come in here and go to work.

725
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, I'm readybody.

726
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 4: The last phone call made during the twenty twenty four

727
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 4: NFL Draft I GM on the Austin Ford It was

728
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 4: to select Jayden Davis, the cornerback out of Miami, and

729
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 4: as you heard there, Paul the two hundred and twenty

730
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 4: sixth overall selection. There might not have been a better

731
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 4: phone call to make for the Arizona Cardinals as an organization,

732
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 4: the spot where twenty years earlier, Cardinals drafted Pat Tilman

733
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 4: back in nineteen ninety eight.

734
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 5: I did not know that team owner Michael Bidwell was

735
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 5: the one who called Pat's name into the league to

736
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 5: officially make this selection. And I was there in Flagstaff

737
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 5: when Pat put on a show, and he came in

738
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 5: and there were half thud drills that he went full

739
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 5: speed and he was sort of KVB. He started too

740
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 5: many fights to count, and by the time he was

741
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 5: done as a seventh rounder, the coaching staff realized, we

742
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 5: need his mentality, we need his playmaking. He brings a

743
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 5: sort of edge to this locker room and to this

744
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 5: defense that we can't live without. And the rest is history.

745
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 4: Those phone calls, Kyle, those are special and we get

746
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 4: to hear both sides of that conversation because, as we've

747
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 4: talked in the lead up to the draft, those phone

748
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 4: calls they change individual lives, they change family lives, and

749
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 4: it gets you in the door. Now you're going to

750
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 4: make sure you stay in the door.

751
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And I can still remember the moment I

752
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: got my phone call. I mean, it is a special

753
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: moment in a player's life. It's uh, it's a special

754
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: feeling when you're sitting there with the people that were

755
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: with you the whole time, the people that supported you,

756
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 3: the people that were in the stands cheering for you,

757
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 3: the people that drove you to practice the in Little League,

758
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: and the people that that paid for your uniform the

759
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: people that paid your league fees, the people that uh,

760
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: you know, drove you to surgery when you had injuries,

761
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: and the people that were there holding your hand through

762
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: the ups and the downs. And you know, it's it's

763
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 3: a very very special moment to get that phone call

764
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: to celebrate with your family, to you know, shed a

765
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 3: tear and and you know, kind of reminisce about all

766
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 3: of the hard work and all the struggles and all

767
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 3: of the joys and the ups and the downs that

768
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: got you to that spot. But it's also a beginning.

769
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: You know, from that phone call, you really just cannot

770
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 3: wait to to get to where you're going. I mean,

771
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: I remember for me, it was how soon can I

772
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: get to Arizona? I I just wanted to get here

773
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: and you know, meet my new teammates, get in the building,

774
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 3: get started, and start my new career. And you know,

775
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: you can hear both the relief, the excitement, the joy,

776
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 3: and the anticipation in these athletes on these phone calls,

777
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: and you know, it's it's such a blessing and such

778
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 3: a gift. You know, I'm sure you know that Monty

779
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 3: asen Ford and Jonathan Gannon and Michael Bidwell, they don't

780
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 3: take that moment lightly when they make those phone calls,

781
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: because those young men, they've worked their whole lives to

782
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: get that phone call. And it's very special.

783
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 4: A twelve player draft class here in twenty twenty four

784
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 4: and off the top here on the Cardinals Red Sea Report,

785
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 4: I mentioned that, no more draft speculation. Now it's a

786
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 4: different kind of speculation. How do these players fit within

787
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 4: the offense and within the defense? And a lot more

788
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 4: speculation on Monday morning as we all woke up to

789
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 4: Draft day. Greats and for the most part, again it's

790
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: all a projection. But for the most part, the Cardinals

791
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 4: did very well. A lot of a's and B plus's.

792
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 4: What are the a's given? How about CBS Sports's Pete

793
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 4: Brisco on the Cardinals' twelve player draft class.

794
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 11: Watch out for the Cardinals And I say that seriously,

795
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 11: and people are going to laugh at me. And we

796
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 11: watched them all last year, Brady and every single week,

797
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 11: what do we say, man? They play hard, they play tough,

798
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 11: They're a pain for everybody they played. Jonathan Gannon did

799
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 11: a great job with that team last year. They played

800
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 11: tough and physical. Now they have more talent. I love

801
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 11: this draft you look at up and down good football

802
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 11: players for a lot of productive football players from good programs.

803
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 11: I love what the Cardinals did, and watch out for Arizona.

804
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 11: They could be a playoff team in twenty twenty four.

805
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: And if last season was any indication Paul about rookies

806
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 4: being able to contribute right away, I would expect. I

807
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 4: don't know about all twelve, but there are certainly going

808
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 4: to be a handful, maybe more than a handful of

809
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 4: these players that we've been discussing that show up on Sunday,

810
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: and not just as role players but significant contra Yeah.

811
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 5: The Cardinals just became the first NFL team to have

812
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 5: seven picks in the top ninety since Dallas in ninety one.

813
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 5: So it's historic this class in terms of the numbers.

814
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 5: And then if you can get the quality along with

815
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 5: the quantity, and you're gonna hit the big red reset

816
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 5: button in an extra large way. There's no question about

817
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 5: Pete Prisco not usually prone to hyperbole or too much praise,

818
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 5: So you know what, Yes, that's meaningful when he takes

819
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 5: a look at this draft and and I'm guessing every

820
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 5: one of these guys, just like last year, every one

821
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 5: of these guys will be given a fair chance to

822
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 5: compete and end up on this roster one way or another.

823
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 5: Because by the end of September last year, we came

824
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 5: up with a hashtag, let the Rooks cook. They were

825
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 5: a huge part of last year's team.

826
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 4: We all have our own opinions on this draft class. Well,

827
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 4: Manty Austin Ford on Saturday after Day three was asked

828
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 4: kind of a big picture to evaluate the draft.

829
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 7: Class, can we talk again in two years. It's crazy

830
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 7: to say, but we when when our scouts grade, we

831
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 7: always grade what's this player going to be in by

832
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 7: year two? From college the NFL that first year, that's

833
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 7: a that's a huge jump for these guys. It's a

834
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 7: mental change, it's a physical change.

835
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 9: Uh.

836
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 7: They got to learn how we do things.

837
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 6: They got to learn our scheme. Uh, and it's a lot.

838
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 4: That might be the most honest answer MANI has ever

839
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 4: given in a press setting, because yeah, everyone likes their

840
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 4: draft class, but you also have to be realistic as well, KBB,

841
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 4: because again, it there is going to be an adjustment

842
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 4: for all of these players.

843
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 3: Absolutely, there there is a huge adjustment, you know. But again,

844
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 3: you know, one of the things I think that lends

845
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 3: well to this class overall is it's it's an older class.

846
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 3: It's you know a lot of these guys have been

847
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: in college four or five, six years. Some of them

848
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 3: they are more more mature, They've got a lot of experience,

849
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: a lot of them have a lot of starts under

850
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 3: their belt, and just their character. You know, again, I

851
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 3: think Monty, they're they're in higher scouting department did a

852
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 3: good job of not just breaking down film, not just

853
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 3: looking at stats, not just looking at numbers and talent,

854
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 3: but they draft the total person and they find the

855
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 3: person that fits the mold, that fits the character, that's

856
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: gonna fit this organization in this locker room. And I

857
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 3: think that that's going to lend well to them, you know,

858
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 3: making contributions early. Maybe not game one, maybe not game four,

859
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: but at some point in this season. And you know,

860
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 3: Jonathan Gannon had said this before, if you have a

861
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 3: helmet on game day, that you're gonna have a role,

862
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 3: So you can, you know, be sure that a lot

863
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 3: of these rookies, you know, they're gonna make a contribution

864
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: at some point in this season, and they're gonna and

865
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 3: they're gonna need to be called upon because we've seen

866
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 3: you know the NFL is a rough sport, and with

867
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 3: seventeen games. You know, two years ago it was offensive line,

868
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 3: last year it was defensive line. We don't know which

869
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 3: position or if it will be a position this year,

870
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: but there may be a rash of injury, so some

871
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 3: of these young guys will be called upon in key

872
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 3: roles in possibly starting positions this year.

873
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 5: Next time, I want to ask kV B what this

874
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 5: does to unlock all the edge rushers. As a guy

875
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 5: who went to the Pro Bowl three times his own

876
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 5: edge rusher, think about this offseason. Justin Jones, Blall, Nichols, LJ.

877
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 5: Colly are back healthy. You added Darius Robinson, a first

878
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 5: round pick. Remember you have a first round edge rusher

879
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 5: and Xavi and Collins a second round edge rusher, and

880
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 5: bjo Jelai. He added Mac Wilson Xavier Thomas in round five.

881
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 5: I'm really curious what that interior d line now maybe

882
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 5: does for the edge guys and how much better the

883
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 5: Cardinals are.

884
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 3: Equipped to get after the quarterback.

885
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 4: It's a great tease ahead, Paul, A true professional right here,

886
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 4: kV B. The next time we have you in that

887
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 4: should be topic number one. What now happens with this

888
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 4: edge class or the edge rusher position. Special thanks behind
