1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,119
Speaker 1: Please. He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson,

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back.

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lollly here with Matt Williamson. This is the

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: Drive on Steelers Nation Radio. And as we mentioned before

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: the break, Mel Kiper Jr. Has dropped his two round

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: mock draft here two weeks out from the NFL Draft,

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: and uh so he's mocked entire round one and two.

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: So let's roll into that, Matt and see what mel

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: has going on here. He has Aidan Hutchinson going number

10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: one to the Jaguars. No real surprise there, that's kind

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: of he could see maybe someone else like Walker going there,

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: but that's He's sticking with the Hutchinson right now. He

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: is Sauce Gardner going to to the Lions. Well, yes,

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: I've seen this, and pull back curtain. You and I

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: and Mike pursued it did our triple take and the

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: latest triple take were top ten offensive players, top ten

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: defensive players. Matt and Dale had Sauce at number one

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: on the defense. I wouldn't give any of these time

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: taking Gardener Jags thing on one. I wouldn't kill him

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: for well, yeah, if the Jaguars took Solace Gardener one overall.

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: I would have no problem with that. No, I wouldn't either.

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: I think he's the I think he might be the

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: best player in his draft. M hmm, I think he is. Yeah. Yeah,

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean I would take him first, but I

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: don't know how he'd get out of the top four

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: or five. I don't see how it happens. He has

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: the Texans taking Trayvon Walker at three. I think he's

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: in the mix for one though two Walker Cavon Thibodeaux

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: goes at four to the Jets. Okay, the Giants stay

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: at yeah, yeah, the Giants steak at Kawana at five.

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: I'd be thrilled if the Giants. I think that's very possible. Boom,

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, se Kwan Barkley behind Kuana. Okay. He has

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: the Panthers taking Malik Willis at six. Interesting, they don't

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: pick again to the fourth round, and they don't have

35
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and trading next to your second for Jimmy

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: or making a Baker move I don't think makes you

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: help saves your job. They could wait and Baker Mayfield

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: is going to get released at something right right, So

39
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: Baker gets released, you signed him to a deal like

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers signed for Bisky too, and you draft him

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: Malik Willis. Okay, now that makes some sense. And you

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: and I both like Willis more than same conversation, same

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: conversation we've had with the Steelers about taking Malik Willis. Yeah.

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: I didn't fault any team for taking me Willis. Yeah,

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean I get it. He's very intriguing and he's

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: ridiculously talented. The boy if they asked him to start

47
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: from day one, I think that goes Really I don't.

48
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't think you would. I think that's why you

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: wait and sign Mayfield. Oh, in addition and to live

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: with Darnald for a little while, but that's pretty ugly. Yeah,

51
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: but Willis as sex as possible. Yeah. At seven, the

52
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: Giants take Jermaine Johnson. He's gonna go high. At eight,

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: the Falcon stake, Garrett Wilson. I think receivers start to

54
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: get really interesting. There's that first receiver off the board.

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: How about the nine the Seahawks get Evan Neil Pee

56
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Carroll would sprint to the podium for that. Yeah. At ten,

57
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: Drake London goes to the Jets m hm, and it's

58
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: so much interest in receivers. I think Ten's going to

59
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: be a receiver. Yeah. At eleven, the Commanders state Kyle

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,559
Speaker 1: Hamilton's these next picks. Boy, would they be thrilled? Yeah? Absolutely.

61
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: The Vikings get Derek Stingley at twelve, right, I mean

62
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: those guys might be the best player in the draft.

63
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: I had him at two of my overall Yeah. I

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: think he was fourth for me or something, right, And

65
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I had Hamilton's at three, so yeah, yeah, right, and

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: there six months ago we thought they might be the

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: top two player fury in the draft. They really don't

68
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: do anything wrong since then. Yeah, thirteen, the Texas get

69
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: Charles Cross at me are to pass on for them too,

70
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean obviously they need everything. I heard today. The

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: Tonsil's contract after this year is very easy e Ney

72
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: to get out of. And they're still talk that he

73
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: could get traded on Draft Day, so they might need

74
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: a left tackle next year. Yeah. If fourteen the Ravens

75
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: take Trip McDuffie, it's a Raven pick. I mean he's

76
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: a tough, quality player. Yeah. Yeah. If fifteen the Eagles

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: stake Crystal Lovey receivers, there's that third receiver yeah, it's sixteen.

78
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: The Saints take Trevor Penning. See, I believe they're going

79
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: to take a receiver and tackle. I don't think this

80
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: is a trade up. I don't think this is to

81
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: get picked or somebody like that. I think they're trying

82
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: to get quality dudes. Now. As seventeen, the Chargers take

83
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis. See that I don't know about because of

84
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the the tackles they brought it. They stay signed up

85
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: three of what three defensive tackles in free agency. Yeah,

86
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: mel is in a bit of a tough spot here,

87
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Like if Petting's there, I think it's an easy one. Yeah,

88
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: and he just went, yeah, he just went, I could

89
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: I could see maybe a wide receiver there. Boy, i'd

90
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: take Jamison Williams. Yeah, you don't need him right away. Um.

91
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: At eighteen, the Eagle stake Nakobe Dean. Steelers would like that.

92
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: You'd love to see Dean and or Lloyd fall off

93
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: the board. I think. Yeah. At nineteen, the Saint steak

94
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams to break my heart. I mean, I would

95
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: love to see him be there. Twenty I don't think

96
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be there. So at twenty he has the

97
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: Steelers taking Kenny Pickett. Okay, I don't love that. We

98
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: talked about that last segment in the first segment hypothetically though,

99
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: what if we just switched the names Willis and Pickett?

100
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: You know, if Carolina preferred Pickett and this everything else

101
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: went to the Williss is there. I'm taking Willis all

102
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: day long, right, if if it goes I'm not. And again,

103
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: four wide receivers just went ahead of the Steelers. Somebody's

104
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna be on the phone trying to get something. I

105
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: would think, so Traylan Burke's or Dots and Dots. Yeah,

106
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: one of those guys are gonna be in play. At

107
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: twenty one. The Patriots take Devin Lloyd. I bet they

108
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: like him a lot. They could go a lot of

109
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: directions because good no, it's not. It's twenty two. He

110
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: has the Packers taking Christian Watson. That's my point, yeah, right,

111
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean the Packers, And if the Chiefs don't leave

112
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: this draft with a stud receiver, they'll get a lot

113
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: of heat. If the Packers don't, Wisconsin is gonna burn,

114
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, I mean. And Watson's not the twenty second

115
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: best player in his draft. He is absolutely not. And

116
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: if I'm the Kansas City Chiefs, and I'm sitting there,

117
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: and I know the Packers are taking a wide receiver,

118
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: and the Packers and the Packers know that the that

119
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs need a wide receivers. So the Packers aren't

120
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: gonna wait. They do pick. Both of their picks are

121
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: ahead of Kansas City. You know, be calling the Steelers,

122
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: you know, right. The Cardinals take at twenty three, trailing Burke's.

123
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: You know they want a wide receiver. I do think

124
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: it's interesting that Mel has Watson going over Burkes and Dotson. Yeah,

125
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean I get the buzz with Watson. I mean

126
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: he's big and fast, big and fast. It's twenty four.

127
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: The Cowboys teake Ebaketty the defense of end depend State. Mel.

128
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: That's one of his faves. He's been talking about Evoketty forever.

129
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: It's twenty five. The Bill stake Dax Hill. Wow, be

130
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: nice pick up. Yeah, they're probably playing they're playing mccorner

131
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: where they don't need him at safety. Uh. At twenty six,

132
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: the Titans steak Johan Dotson. Interesting, now the Chiefs are

133
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: are really good case he's uh. At seven, Davante Wyatt

134
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: goes to the Buccaneers. That makes sense. I mean they

135
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: don't care these little older yeah, play for them immediately.

136
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: The Packers teake Zion Johnson. That's a pick. Yeah. At

137
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine, the Chiefs take Andrew Booth. That certainly makes sense.

138
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: The Chiefs had more needs than people realize. Yeah, oh yeah,

139
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: they could be sign all the guys that they lost

140
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: their receiver rooms. Also a lot better than Green Bays.

141
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Right now. At thirty the Packers and take or the

142
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs then take George karl Loftus. That's not a bad haul.

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: Booth and karl Loftus to boost at defense. And but

144
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: they don't. They need a wide receiver. They have to

145
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: have a wide receiver, have to not as bad as

146
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: the Packers, though not as bad as the Packers. But

147
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: that's not the conversation. That's not the Yeah. I mean

148
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: they yes, they would, they be happy with Booth and

149
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: karl offtas certainly, but Andy reason offensive coach. No, I know,

150
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean my hunches, well, not not my hunch, but

151
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: I could see them being very interested in um pulling

152
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: up a list here, just so I don't get the

153
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: names wrong. It's some of these really fast, smaller dudes.

154
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: The Wandall Robinson, Calvin Austin, Danny Gray types that that

155
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: doesn't answer your problems. But I could see a third

156
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: round pick Kansas City being one of those type of

157
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: dudes that maybe even you hand the ball to here

158
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: and there. Frankly, I could see them taking sky More

159
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 1: at the end of round one. They almost have to

160
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: at this point, we'll give him. What's um. At thirty one,

161
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: he's got the Jets trading up with the Bengals to

162
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: take Tyler Linderbaum. Interesting. Wow, such a weird one to fit.

163
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: At thirty two of the Lions take Louis Scene. Okay,

164
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame any team for taking Loose. At thirty three,

165
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: the Jaguars get Kenyan Green first pick a second day solid.

166
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: At thirty four, David as Jabo goes to the Lions.

167
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: They could afford to do that. Yeah, I think that's

168
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: a perfect fit for them. I've often mocked the job

169
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: of the Lions at thirty two, just for that extra year,

170
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, because if he red shirts all year, so

171
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: be it. But hey, give me thirty four. What's wrong

172
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: with that? Yeah? Uh? At thirty five, the Bengal State

173
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: kyer Elam it's funny. I mocked them in the first round.

174
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: At thirty six, Petre goes to the Giants. So what

175
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying those safeties go, Yeah, they're just good players.

176
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: At thirty seven, Brisker goes to the Texans safety safety

177
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: safety safety. The Jets take Breece Hall at thirty eight.

178
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: Pretty nice. I mean that's a good player to get

179
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: a thirty eight two top backs to me, I think

180
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: they're attractive in this neighborhood. At thirty nine, Kyler Gordon,

181
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: the cornerback out of Washington, goes to the Bears. I

182
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: think about the Bears roster. I mean, that's the best thing.

183
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: They've added all free agencies Kyler all off season and

184
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: they've lost Robinson and I don't love Kyler. No, right,

185
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: I say that's the best. Then you've added your roster

186
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: all year. The Seahawks in at forty take Desmond Ritter.

187
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: They have back to back picks that could absolutely be

188
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: quarterback landing spot there. Yeah. If forty one they take

189
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: Quay Walker, that's a nice value. Yeah, yeah, good player.

190
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: They value linebackers quite a bit. If forty two of

191
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: the Colts stake Bernard Raymond, I'm totally cool with that.

192
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: Forty Three, boy A math A goes to the Falconstick.

193
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: There's a both pass rustional lague. Forty four the Browns

194
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: get Travis Jones. He's kind of like to seeing him fall. Yeah,

195
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: he's not gonna He's what they need. Ut. The Ravens

196
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: stake Channing Tindall. They have a ton of picks. I

197
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: mean they could kind of do best available. Is that

198
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: qualify as best available? Maybe maybe Mel knows the Ravens,

199
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: I'll save him that. Forty six the Vikings take Perry

200
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: and Winfrey. Nice that the line will be pretty darn good. Yeah.

201
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: The Commanders take George Pickens. Do you think Pickens gets

202
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: to the Steelers pick in the second round? I think that,

203
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: I think not. I think not given the run on

204
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Too many landing spots. Right, you know who

205
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: hasn't gone yet though, Dotson? Well no, well yeah? Uh.

206
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: Forty eight the Bears get Tyler Smith. At least the

207
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: Bears have two seconds. I didn't realize that offensive lineman

208
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: out of batalsatine. The Saints take Matt corral See. That

209
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense in the world to me,

210
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Like people forget the Saints also have a second round pick,

211
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: like if they get how or Corral or one of

212
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: those guys there boom, I mean you got it's a

213
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: nice addition. If fifty the Chiefs get sky More, I

214
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: don't think you lasts that long. Yeah. Uh. Fifty one

215
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: the Eagle stake Drake Jackson. Okay, he doesn't get talked

216
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: about a lot with us, but okay. Fifty two of

217
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers take John Michi. It's not a real sexy pick,

218
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, but I think he's gonna be a quality pro.

219
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: I did a whole podcast on him the other day.

220
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't It's like the fantasy room when

221
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: you put that sticker up on the board and no

222
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: one goes, oh uh, you know it's okay. You know

223
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't make me do you know cart wheels? Yeah? Uh.

224
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Fifty three the Packers take Alec Pierce. I like Pierce

225
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: a lot. I take Pierce over match with two U

226
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: fifty three. Fifty fifty four the Patriots take Logan Hall.

227
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't think any of these guys we mentioned in

228
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: the top fifty three don't belong, but boy, I can't

229
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: believe Hall would get four. Yeah. Fifty five Roger McCreary

230
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: goes to the Cardinals. Better player than he is testers

231
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: yeah not yeah. Uh. Fifty six Abraham Lucas goes to

232
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys Dallas, Quiet Lee has a lot of deeds. Yeah.

233
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: Fifty seven the Bills take Kenneth Walker. Well I do

234
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: that in hard BEATIFI were them? Yeah, and then I'm

235
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: on the phone. If I'm the Steelers, I'm on the phone. Hey,

236
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: what do you want for Zack Moss? Give you a seven? Yeah? Uh.

237
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: Fifty eight the Falcons take Troy Anderson. Falcons did pretty well. Yeah,

238
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: they've had added some things, you know, right, didn't over overreach,

239
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, take what you get. That's what the Vange

240
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: Avenue horrendous roster. If fifty nine, the Packers take Magi Sanders.

241
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: He was my follower. I wasn't really impressed with Sanders. Yeah,

242
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: he's two twenty pounds, right, and maybe just maybe he

243
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: lost that to get to the you know, so he

244
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: could run better. Actually, I'm reading and now Mel mentioned that,

245
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: and I guess he claims he had some kind of

246
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: virus for the before the combine and lost a ton

247
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: of weight. Yeah, okay, but he didn't run well with either.

248
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: But then he was sick. I don't know. It's sixty

249
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: colst Range goes to the Bucks. Yeah, that's a typical Buck.

250
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: You know, replace Ali Marpet with cold strange, same guy. Uh.

251
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Niners take Kem Taylor britt good player of Nebraska. Yeah,

252
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: I think he's more of a third. But okay, sixty two,

253
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: we're we're almost through the third. Sixty two the Chiefs

254
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: take Jalen Tilbert. That's a nice pick up this late.

255
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's a receiver. The thing about runs

256
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: that everyone needs to realize is if there's a run,

257
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: sometimes then guys dropped because the teams that already picked

258
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: on right, right, right, So a Tilbert or more maybe

259
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: would fall a little bit like that if that happened

260
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: and the chief The Chiefs end up taking two wide

261
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: receivers are in the second round. Yeah, so that worked

262
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: out well for them. Maybe the defense in the first round.

263
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: Neither one is a star, but that's okay. Sixty three.

264
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Greg Dulcitch goes to to the Bengals. Interesting that his

265
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: first tight end. Yeah and another one right, Yeah, he

266
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: did average third seventeen yards of catch last year. Yeah,

267
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: he's a weapon. Uh. And then sixty Tree, McBride goes

268
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: to the Broncos, he gets to stay right at home

269
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: in Colorado. There you go. That makes sense to that'd

270
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: be their first pick, right, because and they did. They did.

271
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: No a fan, but you know they still they got

272
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: Albert Oh m hmmm. No, I mean I'd be fine

273
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: they've I would think they would go with different direction.

274
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: That seems like a bit of a luxury pick with

275
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: your first pick pick in the draft. But I'm not

276
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: so unless I missed him, John Dotson isn't on? There

277
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: is that true? Oh no, he went to to uh, Tennessee.

278
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: It's wider receivers, a lot, a lot of receivers. How

279
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: didn't get picked? Ridder? Did you get picked? Yes? He was,

280
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: and I did not. Yeah, okay, do you like how?

281
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: I think I understand them that he just tried to

282
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: do too much and lost a lot. And I think

283
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: two year ago version of how is last year? Last year?

284
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: At this time when when people were talking about the draft,

285
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: how was one of the How was one of the

286
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: guys who was considered potentially the number one overall pick? Right?

287
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: And what did he do a great year? Was that

288
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: all his fault? No? I don't think so. I think

289
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: he's more like the two year ago version than the

290
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: one year ago him. Yeah, but he's mean, he's the answer.

291
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: But as a quality second round pick, I'm in on that.

292
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: Here's what I think happens. He's got dark hair, he's

293
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: got a beard, he's got a short stuck he's built

294
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: and looks like Baker Mayfield. So people just assume he's

295
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. And every pre season camp was, oh, he's

296
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: a lot like Baker's a pretty strong arm, tough guy,

297
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, and not that looked like a lot better

298
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: comparison last year than it does now. Yeah, and now

299
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: everybody hates Baker, So that's a lot Baker. You know,

300
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 1: if if if Baker Mayfield had gone out and had

301
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: a good season last year, it just does that affect

302
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, stopped. Is he such a dumb way of

303
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: looking at it? Yeah, I have nothing to do with

304
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: each other, you know, has nothing to do with each other, Right,

305
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: I just find it interesting, you know, that's well, he's

306
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: just too much like Baker Mayfield for me. What because

307
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: he looks like him? Right? Good story does progressive ads

308
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: or I don't see compared. I don't see real comparisons

309
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: in their necessarily in their games. How's a better athlete

310
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: throws the ball better? I think he's a better passer. Yeah,

311
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: I do too. Baker, Baker went number one overall, So

312
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: what are we what? You know, what are we talking

313
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: about her? I don't know. Baker's had success in the

314
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: league too. I mean, he's been a whipping boy for

315
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: us pretty much since he entered the league. But he

316
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: doesn't stink injuries last year too. Yeah. No, he's a

317
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: tough guy, right, you know, I don't know. It's it's interesting,

318
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I would be happy if

319
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: the Steelers came out of this draft with that haul.

320
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Oh I'm going fish on that. Kenny Kenny Pickett and

321
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: Joe on Machi MATCHI may not play to start the season.

322
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: They both feel like I'll settle for something here And okay,

323
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, in helping your team at all this year,

324
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: pick is not gonna start for you this year, and

325
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: Mitchie's got probably gonna start the season on the publist.

326
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: Probably true. Yeah, that's a good point. You mightna get

327
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: no snaps out of either until November. Yeah, I just

328
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that is the direction to Steelers would take.

329
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: No I don't either. I would not accept that draft.

330
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: I would There's a lot of ways I'd go, Yeah,

331
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: go Fish. One of our problems when we review these mocks, though,

332
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: is people want quarterbacks to land in the first round,

333
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: and it's sort of a cheap code for them. Well

334
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: we'll just give one to the Steelers. Yeah, and and

335
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: and a lot of times, just we'll just give him

336
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: any quarterback. Oh yeah, it could be Ridder or whatever.

337
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna have one fall at twenty. I know I

338
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: can do that and we'll work around it from there. Yeah,

339
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's the case. I don't either, man.

340
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: I think you and I would have taken Dax Hill

341
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: if that's how the the first on went. The photos

342
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: are the first nineteen picks. I think Kill would have

343
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: been my top guy on the board. And you know,

344
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: the more we talk about that, um, you know, you

345
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: look where Dax still went at twenty where five. Yeah,

346
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: there's no difference between you know, the Steelers taking him

347
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: at twenty, him going at twenty five, and I think

348
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: seen went thirty two. He's not I mean fine with

349
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: him at Yeah. So that that's safety at twenty to me,

350
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: is definitely in play. I agree, I'd love it. But right, yeah,

351
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: I hear you. You're picking where you pick. I mean,

352
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: that's that's the reality of it. But that was mel

353
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: Kiper's two round the mock draft that just dropped today

354
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: on ESPN. I like to get in these second rounds more. Yeah,

355
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: really the back half of the first round too, because

356
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of from from like five on.

357
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of really good football players. There really is,

358
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: really from twenty on. I mean there's not It's not

359
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: like the Steelers gonna be picking from a bad No,

360
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: not not at all. I just like that other neighborhood

361
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, I mean, Steelers, you take one of

362
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: those guys again, Where where's your cut off in this draft? Ten?

363
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I guess yeah. I mean because again when

364
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: I I when I did my Steelers top twenty, I

365
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: had ten guys that I thought, gone, I'm not even

366
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: gonna rank them. Yeah, and then the top remaining ten.

367
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: I would not include Williams or Jordan Davis in the

368
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: above the line, but you know, the above the line

369
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: cut off the area. But they were my top guys.

370
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams was my number three ranked offensive player for

371
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: that the thing we did right, and I don't have

372
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: him in the Tier one, no brainer. But he would

373
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: if he was clean, yeah, if he was healthy. Yeah. Um.

374
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, So I think I think it's those top

375
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: ten and then it's like the next fifty guys, yeah,

376
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: give or take maybe even forty. That any of those

377
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: next forty guys go in the first round, right, Like

378
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: I would if a second round pick costs you a quarter,

379
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: in a first round pick cost you a dollar, I'd

380
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: rather use three four quarters on four second round picks,

381
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? In this draft, especially when

382
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: the Steelers are at you know what I mean right now,

383
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: I love to have multiple picks in that neighborhood. Yeah,

384
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: I agree, But that's going to do it for today's show.

385
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: So for my partner Matt Williamson, I'm Dale Lally. We
