<v Speaker 2>is the Draft Time Podcast. My guest today, the Great

0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>every Hunt, wasting no time on this special edition of

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>the podcast. My guest today Emery Hunt and Emory Man.

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 2>We had to go back and forth a few times

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 2>to find a time to do this show because you're

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 2>already on the grind again, my friend, tell the people

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>where this game has taken you this week, and please

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 2>tell me, Please tell me Man, there's a vacation for

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>you in the near future.

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, listen, I'm all about ball man, and I'm always

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 4>gonna be about ball. And so I was in Canada

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 4>at the University of Waterloo. So it's in Waterloo, Ontario,

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 4>and they start their college football season by playing their

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 4>postseason All Star game before the season. So I was

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 4>at the East West Bowl, the U Sports, which is

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 4>the NCAA for the Canadian colleges, So the U Sports

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 4>East West Bowl. I've been going up there since twenty thirteen.

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 4>So it allows me to get to jump on the

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 4>Canadian prospects that we'll ultimately see, you know, down in

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 4>the States, you know, in January and the postseason All

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 4>Star game circuit. So I already knew about let's just say,

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 4>for this draft class purpose, I already knew about Giovanni

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Manu and Theo Benneedett based on what I saw from them.

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>You know who laughs me up in Canada.

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 3>It's amazing.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>It never ceases to blow my mind how far and

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 2>why this game can take you and how much you

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:16.959
<v Speaker 2>put the time in. Man. That's why we love having

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>you on for this edition of the Draft Time podcast,

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>because Emory, it's that time of year again.

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 2>You've told us about Robert Jones, about Cater Kohu, about

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Braylen Sanders, who didn't make the team out of camp,

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 2>but he was the first UDFA of that class on

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 2>offense to get offensive snaps that season. I'm going to

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 2>count that one as well. Julian Hill and Chris Brooks

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>all making the team as Emory predicted they would on

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>this exact edition of the Draft Time podcast. And Emory,

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at our past chats are our dms we

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>exchange on Twitter, and you've got a couple of misses

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>in there, but you're batting well over five hundred, which

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 2>is a good draft batting average. And pretty much every

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>UDFA who's taken snaps with the Dolphins, you've mentioned them

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 2>as an undrafted rookie with a chance to make the squad.

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not sure if this number is out by now.

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:01.959
<v Speaker 2>It probably is, but it used to be like a

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 2>three percent chance, for like three percent chance for an

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 2>undrafted guy to make the roster.

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that's an accurate number?

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 4>Probably so, because a lot of times, what we're finding

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 4>now is teams are really stacked with depth and they're

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 4>not really a lot of spots available, which is why

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 4>they had to open up that practice squad to more players.

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 4>So we're seeing teams, you know, retain a lot of

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 4>draft picks and not really have the room to really

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 4>stash undrafted rookie free agents.

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 2>I like it that way because I think for the

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>longest time NFL kind of needed some version of a

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, a minor league system.

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 3>And you don't obways think at the games that way.

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>But having sixteen guys and you're building are seventeen with

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 2>the international Pathway program position they have this year or always,

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 2>i should say, but from Miami they have Bayramatos in

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 2>that role. But I just think it's cool because you

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>get a chance to evaluate more players and get guys

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 2>more chances to develop their game. So back to the question,

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>which is this, take us into what you do with

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 2>these players that many consider sleep because you know him

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 2>so well. I want you to take us into the

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>mind of the area scout. Who's who's the one trying

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>to uncover these gems because they're out there.

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 3>How the heck do you find them?

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, you gotta get to get a six on the ground.

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 4>You gotta get boots on the ground, man. And that's

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.359
<v Speaker 4>the part of the process that I really enjoy because

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 4>I attend all eight All Star Games and all Star Games.

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 4>So again I just told you guys, I'm at the

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 4>East West Bowl right up in Canada. But then once

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 4>we get down to December, I'm at the FCS Bowl,

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 4>which the first All Star game in the States out

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 4>of the gate. Then I'm at the Hula Bowl, Tropical Bowl,

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 4>College Gridin Showcase, HPCU Legacy Bowl, Senior, and Trine. And

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 4>we no longer have the NFLPA Bowl, but when we

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 4>had it, I was there. So if you are at

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 4>these smaller all star games, you're going to see players.

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 4>Case in point. Last year, I was talking all throughout

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 4>the draft process. I was talking about a guy that

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 4>I saw at the College Grind Showcase in Colton Dowell

0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 4>out of ut Martin. I was like, Yo, this dude,

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 4>he's legit, man, He's just you know, baking these cornerbacks.

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 4>He ends up getting drafted in the seventh round by

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 4>the Tennessee Titans.

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>This year.

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 4>All throughout the offseason circuit, the postseason All Star game,

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 4>I kept bringing up a guy. So at the FCS

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 4>Bowl in Tropical bal And, Levey Dridg Rodriguez out of

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Texas A and them Commerce gets drafted by the Minnesota

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 4>Vikings in the seventh round. No one knows who he was,

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.799
<v Speaker 4>but I saw him live twice and saw him ball

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 4>out at both All Star Games. And that's the type

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 4>of stuff that you have to do if you're an

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Area scout. Area Scouts are there, it's Area Scouts, and

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 4>it's meet these smaller All Stars. Everybody else just wats

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 4>to the Singer Bowl or some me trickling at the

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 4>Shrine Bowl. But man, if you get out to these

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 4>smaller All Star games, you're gonna uncover some gyms. And

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 4>these are a lot of guys that end up being

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 4>undrafted free agents.

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I think a m commerce is gonna have to start

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>paying you for your services because you're talking about him.

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>And also Cater Kohu, who is on the Miami Dolphins

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 2>roster here, So you're getting some gems out of that,

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 2>just out of that one school alone right there. Let's

0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and get into this right now, Emory, because

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>we have twelve UDF that we get our first look

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 2>at on the field today. By the way, Rookie Many

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Camp kicks off on Friday, just a couple of hours

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>after this episode drops. I'll go ahead and read you

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 2>the list and then we'll just go ahead and have

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>you tell me the guys that stand out off of

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 2>that list. Receiver Jaquan Burton from FAU, safety Jordan Colbert

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 2>from Rhode Island. Cornerback Storm Duck I had unc on here,

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>but he actually transferred Louisville lat year, so he played

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>his last season at Louisville. Quarterback Gavin Hardison from UTIP.

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 2>That's Nick Eatams UTIP, by the way, cornerback Isaiah Johnson

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>from Syracuse. Offensive lineman Matt Jones from Ohio State the

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:34.119
<v Speaker 2>IPP player I mentioned, Betro Matos the tackle. Offensive lineman

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Mayer or Sorry Meyer out of UTEP, Linebacker Grace

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 2>and Murphy from UCLA. Defensive tackle Entered Payne from Colorado,

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.159
<v Speaker 2>safety Mark Perry from TCU, and tight end Hayden Rucci

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 2>from Wisconsin. Emery the Flora Giers. Who you got on

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.679
<v Speaker 2>that list? Man, Well, let's start offense and then go defense.

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Jakwhan Burton was someone that really stood out to me

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 2>at the College Godwin showcase. And when you're watching him run,

0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 2>you like, Wow, this.

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Dude has like his speed is completely different than everybody else's,

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 4>Like he is super explosive. And when you think about

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 4>him being a dynamic piece. It makes sense that he

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 4>ends up in Miami, where everyone that's explosive ends up

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 4>down south on South Beach. But watching him work at

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 4>the College Grin Showcase and then seeing him get a

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 4>call up to the Hula Bowl, it was just like,

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 4>it makes sense because he first step quickness is ridiculous

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 4>and so he was showing you at two separate All Star.

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Games that he could do things really well.

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 4>Then you go back and watch this film and you

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 4>see that he was open a lot, but his quarterback

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 4>couldn't get him the football because they had a lot

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 4>of you know, quarterback issues at FAU. But you know,

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 4>speed five to ten seven can legit fly and track

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 4>the football if you get if you know the old saying,

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 4>if he's even he's leaving, that's him to tea. So

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 4>I think he has you know, he fits in perfectly

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 4>with Todds Washington and Malie Washington, all these fast guys

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 4>that they have on their So that's one guy, you know,

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 4>number one, and you know two. I'll go on defense, right,

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 4>and I feel like Grayson Murphy was a very underrated player, right.

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 4>And when I look at the type of guys that

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 4>they signed in Miami or drafted I'm sorry in Miami.

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 4>You know Chop Robinson and also Mohamma Kamara. Both of

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 4>these guys are legit the same type guys. So it

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 4>was Grayson Murphy right six two two fifty one solid

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 4>East West Sprian Bowl. He's heavy handed, has great core strength,

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 4>he works through contact rather well to collapse the pocket,

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 4>and he is someone that has a legit shot to

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 4>make it. Because again we're talking about rotating talent and waves,

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 4>and you see Jail and Phillips and Bradley Chuck. You know,

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 4>they're the starters. Plus they're you know, the nurse some

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 4>injuries they're coming back from. But you're bringing Shaq Barrett,

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 4>who's cut from Saint Clautha's Mo Kamara who played at

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 4>the same school as Shaq Barrett, Chop Robinson, the same

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.719
<v Speaker 4>kind of way Race and Murphy. So they're trying to

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 4>get waves of guys to get in there and get

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 4>after the quarterback. So I think that's one that that

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 4>really impressed me a lot. Storm Duck he talked about

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 4>North Carolina. People forget he also played at app State

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 4>and he also played at Lottill He you know, came

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 4>out of Louisville.

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>But what's interesting about his time at Louisville.

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think people once they realized, oh he

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 4>loved you and c oh, well, you know, now that's

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 4>that's that's a rap. But Storm Duck can ball, and

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 4>he was well coached at Louisville. Their cornerbacks coach Steve

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:38.680
<v Speaker 4>Ellis has produced some studs everywhere he's going. When he

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 4>was at Middle Tennessee, Travarious War, when he was at

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 4>East Carolina, Jakua McMillan. Now he's at Louisville. You have

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 4>Storm Duck, you have Jarvis Brown League that came out this.

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Year as well. Duck can play.

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 4>Duck is physical, He's got great size, good technique, solid

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 4>man cover skills.

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I think he has a legit chance to make it.

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.559
<v Speaker 4>And Mark Perry to me the safety out of TCU.

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing about TCU.

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 4>I know their defense collectively wasn't as good as we're

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.599
<v Speaker 4>normally used to seeing a TCU defense. But at the

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 4>end of the day, he is someone that's a strong

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 4>safety but does a really good job and you know,

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 4>communicating through his own cover, so he understands assignments, understands

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 4>how to stay disciplined in his assignment deep, you know,

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 4>so you can trust him as a split field safety,

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 4>but also has the explosiveness to close on a receiver

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 4>and jar the ball loose. So he is someone to

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 4>me that can defend the run but also isn't a

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 4>liability in terms of out there in past cover. So

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 4>those guys to me really stood out in how well

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 4>they played. But I also mentioned Isaiah Johnson unique story.

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 4>He was dominant at Dartmouth, and I thought he would

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 4>have stayed at Dartmouth and left straight from there, but

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 4>transferred one to you know, compete into the portal, played

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 4>two seasons. I believe it at Syracuse. I think he's

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 4>more of a strong own safety than in the corner

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 4>or it could be more of a combo kind of guy.

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 4>But he's long, he's athletic, has good ball skills. But

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 4>I remember him dominating at Dartmouth and and kind of

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 4>selfishly wishing he would stay there and just you know,

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.600
<v Speaker 4>becoming that big fish in a small pond. But you

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.120
<v Speaker 4>go to Syracuse, you play, but you kind of get

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 4>lost in the shelfing what's going on.

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>He ended up not getting drafted.

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 2>It's funny you mentioned the conversion to potential safety. Except

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the first note I put when I watched his tape

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 2>was I think this guy could move to safety and

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 2>be pretty good at that spot as well. It kind

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 2>of reminds me a little bit of Trill Williams, the

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 2>guy that we had in camp here for a couple

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 2>of years who had that just imposing length and size

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 2>on the boundary there at Syracuse. He kind of has

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 2>that similar build and temperament as Tryll Williams did. So

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 2>you've already got as much information here from Emory Hunt

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 2>on this UDFA classes. You're gonna get an other Dolphins

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>podcast out there. Well, we ain't done Yet's go ahead

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 2>and take our first break right there. Come back on

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the other side, and we're gonna have some follow ups

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:54.199
<v Speaker 2>for you that I know you're gonna give us some

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>great answers here on this UDFA class for the twenty

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty four Miami Dolphins.

0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 3>That's next.

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>My guest today, Emory Hunt on the Draft Time podcast,

0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 2>your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to pick it back up here in segment

0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 2>two with my guests, is ay Emory Hunt talking about

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 2>something that you alluded to when you were talking about

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Jakwan Burton, the receiver from FAU and his fit in

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the Miami offense and Emery. Every guy go down here,

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 2>whether it's draft pick, a free agent, a UDFA, they

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.439
<v Speaker 2>all fall.

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Under a similar umbrella.

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 2>And I just want to get your take on this,

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 2>because you can go down the ten split metric and

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>it's across the board. They're all fantastic in their ten splits.

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.080
<v Speaker 2>The receivers obviously have speed to burn for days. The

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 2>running backs have a similar slashing style. I'm just curious

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 2>what you make of a team that knows the type

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 2>of guy they want and they go after and they

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 2>really hone in on that particular skill set.

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm curious what you think about that.

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:55.199
<v Speaker 4>I love that linear leadership from GM coach position coach,

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 4>and you need that in order to have success because

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 4>you're trying to replicate styles. And so when you see

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 4>what the Dolphins have done that receiver, what they've done

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 4>in the backfield with their running back room, it's one

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 4>of the same. So hey, we could take Tyreek Hill

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 4>out for a breather or two for you know, two

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 4>or three plays, but the guy that's coming in is

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 4>just as fast, if not maybe a half step slower

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 4>than Tyreek Hill, but he's still faster than your corner.

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>And now you're still tired.

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 4>On that other end, this fast dude comes in with

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 4>fresh legs, hosing the same type of threat. So now

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 4>when we bring in arrested Tyreek Hill, you are even

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 4>more tired, and now you have to chase this elite speed.

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy how they are never going to give you

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 4>a break in terms of speed. And that's the type

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 4>of pressure that that offense puts on you, and it's

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 4>based off that personnel. But in order to have that,

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.840
<v Speaker 4>you have to have, you know, everyone on the same

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 4>page from GM coach, head coach, and position coach, offensive coordinator.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>We need these type of guys.

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 4>Go and find me these type of players, and the

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.720
<v Speaker 4>GM and his scouts go out and find those type

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 4>of guys and they just bring him into Miami and

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 4>that's why they're able to have that success and build

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.959
<v Speaker 4>that depth that they have across the board.

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I think you're really seeing that, and it's it's cool

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 2>to see it with a new defensive coordinator, Anthony Weaver,

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.560
<v Speaker 2>because it kind of feels like he has a very

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 2>specific vision in mind.

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 3>For what this defense might look like.

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 2>More on that in one second, But first I want

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 2>to go back to Burton because I had a question

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 2>for you about his speed because I saw that he

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 2>timed it a four or five to one, But in

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 2>watching him, don't it doesn't look that. It looks a

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 2>lot faster than that. Do you think his play speed's

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot faster than four or five to one?

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Way faster? Yeah, he told me three out of Yeah.

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's about what I thought too.

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've seen him live and again.

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 4>He returned kicks, and you know that's something in Illinois

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 4>and also at FA. So if you're returning to kickoffs,

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 4>that means you got straight line speed, you got great speed.

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 4>If you're turning punts, it means you're a little bit

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 4>more shifty and more elusive than than you know, fast,

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 4>but you could be fast and also shifty. But kickoff

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 4>is like, hey, you're a straight speed and this dude

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 4>turn kickoffs and also was just someone that's just legitimately fast.

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 4>When you watch him, you know, I put him on

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 4>scout notes. If he has a two way go, it's

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 4>a rap because you're gonna catch you flat footed or

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 4>trying to make a decision and he's able to explode

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 4>out of his breaks and create even more separation.

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's the type of speed he possesses.

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 2>That right there is why I love the Odell Beckham sign,

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 2>because he's gonna ge two way goes all day inside

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 2>with Reagan Walla on the perimeter. That's a different podcast

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 2>for a different day. Let's go back to the defensive

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 2>side of the football here and go back to Grayson

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Murphy because that's the guy that really jumped off the

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.920
<v Speaker 2>list here to me, of everybody, all twelve undrafted rookies

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.360
<v Speaker 2>for the Dolphins the UCLA I think calling him an

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 2>edge is almost like disingenuous because of all the you know,

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 2>walking around and mugging up that he did there at UCLA.

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious how you feel like the scheme at UCLA

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 2>can benefit him here under coach Anthony Weaver. Because we'll

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 2>talk about Chop Robinson and Mo Kamara here in just

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.600
<v Speaker 2>a second. But man, when I watched Chop like him

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 2>playing over the A gap and rushing and putting those

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 2>centers in an immediate peril with that first step quickness,

0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 2>and Mo Camarage doing the same off the edge, I

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of feel like watching UCLA, there's a lot of

0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 2>similarities there in terms of how they used him and

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>his twin brother Gabe and Lault to rush in the quarterback.

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 2>You see a kind of similar transition there from UCLA

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to Anthony Weaver's defense.

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because he's you know, able to play with his

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 4>hands rather well. He could set an edge, so he

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 4>could be he could be across, he could be used

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 4>across the front, which is why I was shocked he

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 4>went undrafted. So for me, it's someone that, hey, you know,

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 4>he was dominated at North Texas and stepped up and

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 4>played dominant ball at UCLA. And the cool part is

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 4>he's in a situation where he can be part of

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 4>that rotation to where it doesn't really you don't wear

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 4>him down or you don't wear down anyone else that

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 4>you brought in. And like I mentioned earlier, the fact

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 4>that they were able to get a bunch of the

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 4>same type of guys like he is good at the

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 4>point of attack, he's good off ball if you want

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 4>him to be a Sam back er so to speak.

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 4>So he's that cross between the sam and the edge

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 4>and the fact that he can get to quarterback and

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 4>plays with his eyes like how we like I talked

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 4>about how Lea two Latu does, like he's allowing his

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 4>eyes to bring him to the football.

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Murphy does the same thing.

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 4>And so he's not you know, he's not someone that's

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 4>gonna get fooled by minis direction. Now, he's not the

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 4>more explosive guy, but he's a heavy handed puncher. That

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 4>Cassetta Edge probably going to be a very strong run defender,

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 4>while the other two guys, the other rookies and Robinson

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 4>and Kamara are going to be your higher guns to

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 4>go go and get the quarterback.

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 3>Really good stuff.

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.000
<v Speaker 2>And then then every time we do this, man like

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you talk about how much you love scouting these these

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.680
<v Speaker 2>college all star games. This just gets me fired to

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 2>watch these guys out here on the field with the

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Baptist Health trading complex. I love love watching these young

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.200
<v Speaker 2>guys try to, you know, make their dreams come true.

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Last follow up question for you here, Ray Emery, that

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the two defensive backs you talked about, we talked about

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Johns a little bit, but Storm Duck and Mark Perry,

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.239
<v Speaker 2>because yeah, the communication and smarts in the back end

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 2>is so clear. For Mark Perry, the way he plays

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 2>that position, But I'm curious. I kind of felt like

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 2>their skills translate a little bit to special teams. Do

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>you think both those guys could wind up, you know,

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 2>not just carving out a spot on the roster, but

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe being core special teams guys right away.

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's what they're gonna have to start.

0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 4>And the unique part about the back end of the

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 4>draft and also undrafted free agents now with a change

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 4>in the kickoff rules, you probably want guys that are

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.280
<v Speaker 4>used to traveling down in space and making open field tackles.

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:29.399
<v Speaker 4>So that screams safety, That screams outside linebackers and it streams,

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 4>it screams corners that are physical, and Duck and Perry

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.439
<v Speaker 4>check both of those boxes. And the cool part is,

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:42.679
<v Speaker 4>you know, while his run defense isn't the most consistent,

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.880
<v Speaker 4>like he tends to you know, ankle bite a little

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.119
<v Speaker 4>bit they call it, where he's diving at the ankles

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 4>of the ball carriers coming outside. But in the open field,

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 4>if you put him in a special teams type situation,

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.680
<v Speaker 4>he knows, okay, I have to play with better technique here.

0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 1>It really does a good job in that.

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 4>So I feel like, yeah, he's gonna have to make

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 4>his bones as a gunner. Not a gunner, but someone

0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 4>that goes down on kickoffs. But Perry is someone that

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 4>excels in that because he plays safety. He has that

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 4>mindset already on like a corner, so I could I

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 4>could easily see him, you know, thriving as a as

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 4>a core special team.

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.640
<v Speaker 2>It's a good deep rosters for finding a way onto

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the Roster're gonna have to do a little bit of

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 2>everything for these udfas.

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.119
<v Speaker 3>Great stuff. There is always one more segment.

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk about the Dolphins draft class with

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Emery Hunt. That's next here on the Draft Time podcast,

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 2>your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, you've done your work so far, so you've

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 3>put the time in.

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.920
<v Speaker 2>You've given us the detail on the udfas that we

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 2>have been waiting for a while now to talk to

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 2>you by I talked about this every time we would

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>come on the show and talk combine or post draft

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.160
<v Speaker 2>or or I should say post combine, pre draft, whatever

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:47.479
<v Speaker 2>it is.

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 3>You always come and deliver on this part of the episode.

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna go ahead and throw you a bone

0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 2>and get to more of the kind of the guys

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>that get on the marque, the top of the line guys.

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll go ahead and start in the first round here,

0:19:57.760 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 2>And I mean, I love this draft class so much.

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Go ahe and start with Chop Robinson, who offers rare,

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 2>rare explosiveness and just as rare of an ability to

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 2>bend to the cornerback and kind of run that arc

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.800
<v Speaker 2>and angle back to him. But I'm curious what you

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 2>think I talked about, you know, coach Weavers defense. Here

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about his potential fit under Anthony Weavers.

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Cause I'm watching Penn States tape and he mugs up

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 2>in the a gaps and plays that nosebacker spot, and

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 2>damn it if that's not all over the Ravens tape

0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.879
<v Speaker 2>with Jvan Clowney or Odafe. Oh wait, whoever you want

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 2>to pick those twitched up dudes, you usually rush the edge.

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you see a similar potential role for Chop Robinson

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 2>here his rookie season under coach Anthony Weaver with Miami.

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.399
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because he's not going to be asked to start.

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 4>And the cool part is, and you kind of see,

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.359
<v Speaker 4>you know, a little bit of what they thought in

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 4>terms of tight because he's about the same size as Murphy,

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, so, and the difference between Robinson and Murphy

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.320
<v Speaker 4>is Robinson is more explosive. So you see Robinson being

0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 4>much more dynamic as more of a pass rusher. I

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.119
<v Speaker 4>know people were focused on the sack numbers, but I

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.960
<v Speaker 4>mean he did a great job of funneling a lot

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:06.199
<v Speaker 4>of the work to his his teammates and so, but

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:08.120
<v Speaker 4>he also made a lot of plays in the backfield

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 4>versus the run. So you're getting an explosive guy that

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 4>can play the run, that can be disruptive. But if

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 4>he's in a situation where he's just a you know,

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 4>singled up, hired gun as a pass rusher, he's going

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 4>to excel.

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's why they made the pick.

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.360
<v Speaker 4>And when you think about a healthy Jail and Phillips

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 4>and a healthy Bradley Chubb, or if you want to

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 4>mix and match and maybe put Phillips and Robinson on

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 4>the field the same time, or put all three on

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:36.880
<v Speaker 4>the field at the same time, you had that luxury

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:40.120
<v Speaker 4>because as you get deeper into the season, you want

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:43.199
<v Speaker 4>your pass rush to be able to go from your

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 4>first team to your second wave. And if you're able

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:47.959
<v Speaker 4>to do that, you're gonna be able to play deeper

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:48.800
<v Speaker 4>into the postseason.

0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.000
<v Speaker 2>We saw it last year with the Dolphins went heavy

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 2>after the cornerback position because in twenty twenty two, the

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 2>attrition there was just so it made the room bleak

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and you had, you know, seventh eighth guy uh taking

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 2>their turn because of the injury.

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:01.840
<v Speaker 3>And last year that was the edge group for Miami.

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.160
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully the same luck happens this year in terms

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.399
<v Speaker 2>of getting healthier as the year goes on at that spot. Next,

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Houston's offensive tackle Patrick Paul. We heard from Mike McDaniel

0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 2>and Chris Greer after the selection and they mentioned a

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 2>few times how even when the technique isn't right, he's

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 2>still finding his way into wins because of the just

0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>sheer size, mass, and overall strength that he plays with. First,

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.480
<v Speaker 2>just your snapshot on the player, and then I'm curious

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 2>to hear your perspective on drafting a toolsy player like that,

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 2>a guy that has the high weight, speed and coaching

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:30.159
<v Speaker 2>him up.

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:33.400
<v Speaker 3>What to you is the key to doing that well?

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.199
<v Speaker 4>He has really good technique and he's able to you know,

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.640
<v Speaker 4>tie his form and footwork together and does a good

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:41.679
<v Speaker 4>job with that and The first note I have in

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:43.640
<v Speaker 4>my scour report is like, he's very tough to.

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Move off the spot.

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 4>Like you know, he's six seven, three thirty one, So

0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:51.640
<v Speaker 4>you have a big, large offensive tackle that also has

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.960
<v Speaker 4>really good recognition which ties into the footwork, which ties

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 4>into the hand usage.

0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>It's impressive.

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.880
<v Speaker 4>You know, he'll just have to quicken up to you know,

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 4>his process in terms of making that move from coolers

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.200
<v Speaker 4>to the pros and getting his hands on a defender first.

0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:09.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's gonna have to.

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 4>If you're big, sometimes you got to play big and

0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, quicken enough. That process is going to be

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 4>big for him. But the cool part is he's going

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 4>to get a lot of reps in training camp because

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 4>he's behind to Ron Armstead, and you know Armstead is

0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:28.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, future Hall of Famer potentially, uh, someone that's

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 4>gonna you know, have those vet days and when you have,

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:34.040
<v Speaker 4>you're going to be able to take advantage of you

0:23:34.080 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 4>Patrick Paul. So you it's the rare opportunity for someone

0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 4>to you know, be a tuosy player that has some

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 4>fine tuning to do, and we'll get that opportunity to

0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.679
<v Speaker 4>do that based on who he's behind a veteran that

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:52.359
<v Speaker 4>can take some days off and really in preparation for

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 4>the season. So you're going to see a rare case

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:56.879
<v Speaker 4>where Paul may be getting a lot of work with

0:23:56.920 --> 0:24:00.679
<v Speaker 4>the ones, you know, just based off training camp reps.

0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 4>But that's going to help him develop quicker, faster and

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.679
<v Speaker 4>become a strong swing player in year one with I

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 4>see year two being a starter.

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Tista does not need training camp.

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:13.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's out here, he works, and I love

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 2>that he's going to be on the field, working with

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the guys and being that kind of voice in the

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.720
<v Speaker 2>ear of Patrick Paul. They're both students of Duke Many

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 2>whether they're O line mastermind. So good on, good there

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:24.879
<v Speaker 2>with both of those guys and Emory, I've been most

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 2>excited to talk to you about this next player, this

0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 2>entire podcast, u DFAs track picks, whatever you want to

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 2>call it. I love talking running backs with you and

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I had a chance to really dive deep into Jalen

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Rice tape at Tennessee and I only even have a

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:37.640
<v Speaker 2>question for you here.

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 3>But I just think you're going to love this back.

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Just give me the rundown on Jalen Wright at this

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 2>running back spot.

0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:45.639
<v Speaker 4>Emory well, it has been the common theme of what

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 4>we talked about all the show is that this dude

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 4>is exactly what they look for in Miami's He reminds

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.760
<v Speaker 4>me so much of Riteim Moster and you know, one

0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 4>cut downhill runner with explosive speed. Now he doesn't have

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:01.639
<v Speaker 4>the you know, the the vision so to speak, that

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 4>you kind of can create behind the line of scrimmage.

0:25:04.800 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 4>A lane has to be there for him. Pat level

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 4>needs to come down a bit, which is, you know,

0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 4>weird to talk about a guy that's like five to

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 4>ten and talk about he has to you know, play

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 4>with better pad level. But if the lane is there

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:18.959
<v Speaker 4>and the hole is there, it's no different than most are.

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 4>He's going to fly right through it, not run right

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 4>through it. And then you know it's again talking about waves.

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 4>So most are a chan. And now right it's like, goodness, man,

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:35.920
<v Speaker 4>like you never get tired. You will never get tired

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:39.359
<v Speaker 4>on offense in terms of speed and what you bringing

0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:43.439
<v Speaker 4>in so defensively, while you're running the football and you

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 4>know you stop it and run, you think you've done

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 4>a good job against most of you've been able to

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.919
<v Speaker 4>you know, contain a chan. And now here comes the

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 4>third guy out the gate and right who has fresh

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 4>layers and it's still explosive. And now he's hitting those

0:25:57.280 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 4>home runs right. And it's not to say that someone

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Achmed is savonn Achmed is not a pretty quick guy,

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:07.720
<v Speaker 4>swifty guy, but there's a significant drop off and speed

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 4>from Mosterter to e Chan to amed Akman. And that's

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:13.479
<v Speaker 4>where Wright comes in. I think that's why right, I

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.879
<v Speaker 4>feel like no only can have a role there, but

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:18.199
<v Speaker 4>also as a kickoff returner because again, based off the

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:20.360
<v Speaker 4>new rules, you kind of want to running back back

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 4>there that that's used to being able to set up

0:26:22.760 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 4>blockers and be able to make multiple cuts and not

0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:29.159
<v Speaker 4>lose acceleration used to carry the football in that In

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 4>that regard, Wright could have a significant you know impact

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 4>right out of the gate. Because you don't want you

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:38.119
<v Speaker 4>don't want to have you know, burials out there. You

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 4>want to pull him off special teams. Well, you may

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:44.000
<v Speaker 4>not be able to do that now because they signed

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:46.159
<v Speaker 4>Odell Beckham, but prior to that, hey, we could remove

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:47.399
<v Speaker 4>burials a special teams.

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 1>We don't want to burn a Chan on special teams.

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:52.880
<v Speaker 4>But you have a guy in right that can return kicks,

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 4>you could teach him how to return kicks, and he

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:57.199
<v Speaker 4>has that speed and explosiveness that you that you like

0:26:57.560 --> 0:26:58.280
<v Speaker 4>in the backfield.

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:00.399
<v Speaker 3>No, I liked him. That sounds slide. The idea of

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 3>a cham backer two excites me.

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:03.680
<v Speaker 2>But I get the idea of maybe trying to preserve

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 2>him a little bit more for the offense. And also

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 2>they thought of thirty personnel with this offense. Man, Like,

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 2>I know it's not common, but I can I can

0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:12.399
<v Speaker 2>see a package of thirty personnel with with Reek and

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Waddle and then the three running backs you just mentioned

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 2>could be pretty fun. There last one for you here, Amory,

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 2>gets you out of here. Day three Dolphins drafts of

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Mohammed Kamara, Malik Washington, Patrick McMorris, and Taj Washington. You

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:24.679
<v Speaker 2>touched them a couple of these guys earlier, but just

0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:26.399
<v Speaker 2>give me one or two of these guys that you

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:29.120
<v Speaker 2>loved from the Dolphins Day three and twenty twenty four.

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:33.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, Washington, tas Washington is explosive like he is classic

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:37.760
<v Speaker 4>USC receiver, you know, and again Washington is about the

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:41.600
<v Speaker 4>same size as Burton. But I see those guys as

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 4>flankers and not you know, Z receivers and not slot guys,

0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 4>I feel like they can run routes, they can create

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:51.400
<v Speaker 4>their separations deeper down the field. I feel like people

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:55.159
<v Speaker 4>are sleeping on Patrick mcfore's because he, to me, is

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 4>a combo guy. He can cover a little bit, so

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 4>he keeps you strong against some of these bigger, physical

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.640
<v Speaker 4>wide receivers athletic tight ends that teams try to throw

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:07.199
<v Speaker 4>at you, but also as strong versus the run, so

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 4>he keeps you confident and dependable there and run support.

0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 4>So I think that's someone that has a really good

0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 4>opportunity to really have an impact. But when you look

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:22.440
<v Speaker 4>at Malik Washington and Taj Washington, it's the common thing we've.

0:28:22.280 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Talked about man speed and ability to create your own shot.

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:32.680
<v Speaker 4>Malik Washington is kind of like Tyreek Kill to where

0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 4>you can trust him carrying the ball as a running back.

0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 4>So now you open that avenue up, you got got

0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 4>Now you got a bunch of guys that can.

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Carry the ball, you know, really from anywhere.

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 4>They can take a short pass, a long way, or

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 4>they can just turn around and hand it to him

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:52.040
<v Speaker 4>and they know what to do with it. Taz is

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 4>someone that you hit him in stride and it pairs

0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 4>up perfectly with the tool tongue of a low who's

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 4>released and placement is it aids the receiver that is explosive, which.

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Is why you see him.

0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 4>You see Wado and he'll take so many slants to

0:29:08.040 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 4>the house because the timing, the precision, the placement along

0:29:12.880 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 4>with elite level speed, it's a touchdown waiting to happen.

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 4>And so Washington to me Times Washington is someone that

0:29:20.040 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 4>can thrive in that role. Malik Washington, you know, he's

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 4>someone that can win as a as a ball carrier,

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 4>but also as a receiver, whether it's inside or outside.

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, led the nation with thirty five broken tackles last

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:33.800
<v Speaker 2>year among all receivers. Like I just I can't believe

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Malak was there in the sixth round. I can't believe

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Tas're gonna say with the round to be perfect honest

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 2>with you. So I'm fired up up these guys, and yeah,

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 2>it's it's gonna be fun to watch what a job

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:43.880
