Day three of the NFL Draft, 9 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 2: which means rounds four through seven are now in the books. 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 2: We are brought to you by Sony, Bill Brooks alongside 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: with me, I am Casey Valier. 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: Bill. 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: We're gonna dive into everything, but I'm gonna do a 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: quick synopsis of kind of what happened here in Day three. 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 2: The Colts entered with four picks. They had a pick 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: in every round four, five, sixty seven. Early in the 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: early in round four, they made a trade with the Rams, 18 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: which essentially gave them an additional sixth round pick. They 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 2: swapped fourths. They took that fourth round pick turned into 20 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: Jalen Travis, who was a tackle out of Iowa State. 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: In the fifth round, they took a running back DJ 22 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: Giddons out of Kansas State. Then in the sixth round 23 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: they doubled up. They had two picks back to back, 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: one eighty nine and one ninety. Overall, they took quarterback 25 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,279 Speaker 2: Riley Leonard out of Notre Dame, defensive tackle Tim Smith 26 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: out of Alabama, and then they rounded out the draft 27 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: with Hunter Wohler, who was a safety out of Wisconsin 28 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: who's going to be kind of sliding in and playing. 29 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: Sounds like a multiple of positions, but linebacker for the Colts. 30 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: So those are the four selections the Colts made in 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: Day three. We're not going to dive into all of them, 32 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: just because I think it's a good idea to do 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: a big recap of everything, but we will start with 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: what we saw today. And one of the things that's 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: polarizing because of the position is at quarterback. The Colts 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: selected a quarterback in Riley Leonard, began his career at Duke, 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: went to Notre Dame. We knew we're going to have 38 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: a quarterback competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, and 39 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: now it looks like you're going to have a little 40 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: bit more of a competition at who's going to be 41 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: that third quarterback on the roster between Jason Bean and 42 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: Riley Leonard. 43 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you always want to have competition. 44 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 4: Doesn't matter if you set for the first or second 45 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: spot or the third or fourth stop spot. You want 46 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 4: to have a competition throughout your roster, guys pushing one another. 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 4: They'd be better to make sure that, hey, you're getting 48 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 4: the best out of these guys and when it comes 49 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 4: time to play games, they'll be ready to play and 50 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 4: get the best out there in the football field. So 51 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see how these guys go about it. 52 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 4: Each of them have something special that they could do 53 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 4: out there in the football field. So it should be 54 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 4: a good competition at the quarterback position. 55 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: And one of the things that I got to learn 56 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: by doing a little bit of research on Riley Leonard, 57 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: he was kind of polarizing because he was outside of 58 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: what Daniel Jones did it Duke there really hasn't been 59 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: another quarterback that you've really heard from that school, but 60 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: you know, he was that. I know late in that 61 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: twenty three season, Duke was a top twenty team. He 62 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: had that foot or ankle injury that kind of knocked 63 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: him out. Then he transfers to Notre Dame. But I 64 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: didn't realize all the connections that he had, So there's 65 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 2: a lot of Colts connections. But then also as an athlete, 66 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: pretty impressive. So Colts connections. He trains with Philip Rivers, 67 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 2: so you know there's the Shane Steiken the Philip Rivers tie, 68 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 2: which is also pretty cool. But then as I mentioned 69 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: with Daniel Jones, he and Daniel Jones two former Duke quarterbacks. 70 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: But while he was at Duke, this is impressive. I 71 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: was shocked by this coach K, legendary coach who was 72 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: at Duke, asked Riley Leonard if he could play two sports, 73 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: if he could play basketball alongside now the head coach 74 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: on the football side of things said no, no, no, my 75 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: quarterback is not going to play basketball. But that just 76 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: tells you the athlete this guy was. I know in 77 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: high school he was a two sport athlete, very elite. 78 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: But I mean, if coach K is knocking on your 79 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: door saying, hey, you want to come and play ten 80 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: to fifteen minutes with the Blue Devils, that's pretty impressive 81 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: right there. 82 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: That is pretty impressive. 83 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: If you have to think one of the elite college 84 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 4: basketball schools. 85 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: In the country. 86 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 4: Their head coaches come and ask you, do you want 87 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 4: to play basketball for us? And basically he's saying that, 88 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 4: you know what, he can get some minutes on the 89 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 4: floor as far as playing basketball for Duke. So that 90 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 4: just shows how good of an athlete he is. Not 91 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 4: just how good of an athlete he is, but how 92 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 4: he processes things. Because if he's able to do that 93 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 4: on the basketball court, play basketball at that high level, 94 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: it shows how he can process things, so he can 95 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: carry that over to the football tide of things. So 96 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 4: it shows that, you know what, he's a guy that 97 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: if you give him a lot on his plate, he 98 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 4: probably can handle it. 99 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: He can process it, and that only helps. 100 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 4: You out there in the football field to not only 101 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 4: play and to be able to play at a high level, 102 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 4: but also to be a leader out there, to lead 103 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 4: other guys in regards to what they need to do 104 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 4: on the football field. 105 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 3: So give the young man credit. Very talented young man. 106 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: Mobile. 107 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 4: He gives people problems because he's so mobile in the pocket, 108 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 4: so hard to tackle himself. 109 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 3: You know, it should be a good, good competition. 110 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, trying to camp for what he does out there 111 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: and when he gets to train and camp. 112 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: Now, one of the other positions they addressed here on 113 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: day three was it running back. We know what the 114 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: Colts have and Jonathan Taylor, but Trey Sermon's not on 115 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: this roster here heading into twenty twenty five, you've got 116 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: Tyler Goodson. They brought in Khalil Herbert as a free agent. 117 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 2: But it was also a you know, we have mentioned 118 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: it a couple times this week already that talking with players, 119 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: with some of these big wigs, if you will, at 120 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: the NFL Combine, some of them had twenty to thirty 121 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: draftable grades on running back. So the depth at that position, 122 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 2: you knew it was an area that would probably be 123 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: tapped into. The Colts do that in round five when 124 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: they get Kansas State running back DJ Giddons. This guy's 125 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: pretty impressive. He is second in school history all time 126 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 2: in yards per attempt at five point nine seven yards 127 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: per carry lot, third in career rushing yards over three 128 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: thousand rushing yards, and he's just one of four players 129 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: in school history to have multiple thousand yard rushing seasons. 130 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: So definitely, DJ Giddens is a guy who really put 131 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: his foot down at Kansas State. One of the best 132 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: running backs in the history there. What does he add 133 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: to this room because we know what Jonathan Taylor is, 134 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: but you're always looking because of the position injuries happen, 135 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: you got to have somebody who's ready to tote the rock. 136 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, you always want someone to can tote the rock 137 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: and definitely step in if someone gets hurt. Hopefully no 138 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 4: one gets hurt, but if someone does get hurt, you 139 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: want someone to step in. 140 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 3: And DJ did that in Kansas. I mean in regards 141 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: to run the ball, run the rock. 142 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 4: His last two seasons in Kansas, he had over a 143 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 4: thousand yards rushing. So you know he can tote the 144 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 4: rock and he also can catch the ball in the backfield. Yes, 145 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 4: you know he caught the ball in the backfield. And 146 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 4: I think that's something special for running backs is if 147 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 4: you can catch the ball on the backfield, it just 148 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 4: makes it easier for your offense to do different things 149 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 4: without changing personnel a lot. So having a back out 150 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 4: there that can not only run but also catch the 151 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 4: ball would be very big. 152 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 3: Now. 153 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 4: I know in his career Kansas, you know he hadn't 154 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 4: had a little issue with his hand with a blocking 155 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 4: as far as picking up blitzes and things like that. 156 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 4: So but he's gotten over that. He's he's healthy now. 157 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 4: So he is a back that can play three downs 158 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 4: if you need it. So definitely on third down put 159 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 4: him in there. But you know he'll play three downs 160 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 4: if maybe give him the blow to JT or if 161 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 4: unfortunately JT is not there. And also with Khalil Khalil 162 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: stepping in as well, So another position where it should 163 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 4: be a good battle and see. 164 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: How that plays out. 165 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 4: As far as playing time for those three, well two guys, 166 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 4: I would say, because JT's gonna you know, he's gonna 167 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 4: bright and get the ball exactly now. 168 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: In closing on Day three of the draft, these these 169 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: last selections were essentially what we had talked about. We 170 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: knew that they were gonna build in the trenches offensive 171 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: and defensive line, and this staff has drafted linebacker at 172 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: a incredible clip, and those are the positions they went. 173 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: They went offensive tackle, they went defensive tackle, and they 174 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: drafted safety, who's going to be kind of shift into 175 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: that linebacker spot. No surprise there at all. 176 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 4: No no surprise, and that they want to get some 177 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: people there that can have some depth and definitely some 178 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 4: guys that you know, you know, if there is a injury, 179 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 4: especially on the office of defensive line, you want to 180 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 4: have depth. You just have one guys have depth. So 181 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 4: you know, you have Jaalen Travis. That's an offensive tackle 182 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 4: that's played both left and right tackle, so he can amazing. 183 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 4: He's a big man. Yeah, he's He's a big fella. 184 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 4: So you know, could play both left for right tackle, 185 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 4: so that's good. And you know if if he is playing, 186 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 4: you know Gonzalvez, Gonzalvez can play tackle or guard, so 187 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 4: you know, you have that kind of flexibility with the 188 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 4: guys you can use there. 189 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: So that's very important to have him. And you know, 190 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: so when you when you have that, then you. 191 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 4: Have Tim Smith defensive tackle, big guy also to give 192 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 4: a blow to the guys up front with Grove and Buck. 193 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 4: So you know, as you said yesterday, Casey, they we 194 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 4: look forward to not look forth to it, but we 195 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 4: thought that they would go with these positions. 196 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 3: Yep. 197 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 4: You know, defensive tackle, offensive tackle, linebacker. So uh, you 198 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 4: know a lot of guys at linebacker, you know, you know, 199 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 4: probably more unlikely play some special teams, but that's what 200 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 4: you want. These guys come in and they want to 201 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: be out there. They want to play, so they want 202 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 4: to get some playing time. That's one way they can 203 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 4: get some playing time to show it out there in 204 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 4: the football field. 205 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about that, you mentioned, you know, 206 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: Hunter Woller out of out of Wisconsin, seventh round pick, 207 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: you're probably gonna make your hay early on as a 208 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: special team or well, if you go in that linebacker 209 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: room and you ask the guy who's wearing the sea 210 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 2: on his chest Shire Franklin was a seventh round pick 211 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 2: and made his start at in special teams, so you 212 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: can make that jump. That's one of these things. That's 213 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: what they're trying to do. They want a guy that 214 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: they can take to mold a special teams to just 215 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: continue to grow. So that's kind of what they're looking 216 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: for there. Now, all right, before we dive into some 217 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: other teams in the division, because there was some hay 218 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: made there, let's do just kind of one little overview 219 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: of totality of what the Colts did, starting with, you know, 220 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: the one that they got there in the first round 221 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: in Tyler Warren dynamic tight end. We've been talking about 222 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: this off camera, but the importance of when you have 223 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: a premium pick top fifteen. This is a lottery selection, 224 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: if you will, getting a dynamic playmaker, and that's exactly 225 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: what the Colts did and Tyler. 226 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 3: Warren definitely that's what you want. 227 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: You want a dynamic playmaker that's going to make a 228 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 4: difference for your team out there in the football field. 229 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 4: And Tyler Warren is can do that on the football field. 230 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 4: You know, once he gets here and gets acclimated to 231 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 4: what the Colts want him to do, He's one of 232 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 4: those players with the talent to go out there and 233 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 4: make plays to help the offense out, not just from 234 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 4: a physical talent as far as going out there and 235 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 4: being fast and stuff like that, but just being physical 236 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 4: as far as out there running the ball, catching the ball, blocking, 237 00:10:59,040 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: He can do a little. 238 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: Bit of every who said is post draft thing that 239 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: hey we might even play defense, yes exactly, so you 240 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: never know what can happen. 241 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 4: So to have a guy like that that is very 242 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 4: versatile with Shane and Shane being able to use him 243 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 4: in multiple ways, I think it's only going to be 244 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 4: a plus for day offense. So having that type of 245 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 4: guy and getting him at the fourteenth pick, you want 246 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: him to be dynamic and this is a guy that 247 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 4: can be dynamic. 248 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 3: He has the traits to be dynamic on the football field. 249 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: One thing that I was interested to see when I 250 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 2: dove into these prospects, they selected winning. He kind of 251 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: made it. It made its way through. If you look 252 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: at Tyler Warren, Riley Leonard, and then of course JT. 253 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 3: Two E. 254 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: Muolau. They all played in the College Football Playoff this 255 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: past year with JT. Ryley Lennard meeting in the national championship. 256 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: And then you can even throw in what happens at Alabama, 257 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: which is nothing but winning. But I mean that's what 258 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: Tim Smith did. He spent five years at Alabama, won 259 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: a national champion as a freshman. So you put all 260 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: four of those guys, four of your eight selections have 261 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: won at elite levels, I mean, the highest of high. 262 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 2: How important is that to bring that winning culture into 263 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: the locker room. 264 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 4: It's very important because first of all, you just you know, 265 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 4: you talk about the winning culture. That is very important. 266 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 4: But to me, it goes to the preparation. In order 267 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 4: for those guys to win and be a part of 268 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 4: a winning culture. In that culture, they had to teach 269 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 4: them how to prepare for games. So when they come 270 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 4: in prepare as far as practicing, and not just on 271 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 4: the football field, but in the weight room and the 272 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 4: classroom as well. They bring that type of studied habits 273 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 4: and work ethic to the practice facility. It can rub 274 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 4: off on other people, hopefully, and those guys know how 275 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 4: to win, so when they come into building, they can 276 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 4: carry that with them and then hopefully hopefully pick up 277 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 4: on what the cult are doing, but also maybe show 278 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 4: some other guys this is what's going to take for 279 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 4: us to be winners. And then hopefully that is just 280 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 4: contagious with everyone in the building and the locker room, 281 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 4: and then hopefully they can go out there and practice 282 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 4: hard and practice the right way and get some wins. 283 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 2: Now, as I mentioned the AFC South, there was some 284 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 2: there were some splashes. I mean, it all starts there 285 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: at number one Tennessee Titans on the clock and they 286 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: take cam Ward. We don't know what cam Ward's going 287 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: to be, but we saw what Houston was able to do. 288 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 3: C J. 289 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: Stroud, they bring him in and all of a sudden 290 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: they have won back to back division titles. So it's 291 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 2: definitely be something you're going to keep an eye on, 292 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 2: because you know cam Ward that can switch really really quick. 293 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 2: So we're definitely gona keepn eye on down there in Nashville. 294 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 4: Definitely have to keep an eye there on what they're 295 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 4: doing Nashville, but you're also gonna have to keep a 296 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 4: guye on what they do in Houston. Yeah, because Houston 297 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: they got some players as well. They got Jaden Higgins, 298 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 4: a wide receiver, they got Jayleen Noel, another wide receiver, 299 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 4: and they got an offensive tackle Offen to the. 300 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 3: Line try for Dounceans Day. 301 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 4: He's got Ariante So they got one of those guys. 302 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 4: And in regards to replacing Tunsel down there as far 303 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 4: as at the tackle position, but they also got some 304 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 4: receivers to have CJ. Stride out there. And then in 305 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 4: Jacksonville they got Travis Hunter. 306 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 3: The guy goes both ways. I could play some receivers. 307 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: Think you got Travis Hunter, then he's gonna be team 308 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 4: with Brian Thomas as well, Brian Thomas Junior, another wide receiver. 309 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 4: So they got some weapons and it looks like, you know, 310 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 4: if you look at that just on paper, the teams 311 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 4: in the AFC South did things in the draft to 312 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: improve their team to get better, so it should be 313 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: pretty exciting when all these teams are playing one another 314 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 4: in the AFC South and see what happens and what 315 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 4: pans out. 316 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: I don't claim that I'm an expert. I know you 317 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: don't claim to be an expert at all, But when 318 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: you think about the moves that were made in the 319 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: AFC South, who do you think won the draft? 320 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: If you will? 321 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: Wow. 322 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 4: I think a lot of teams did things to help themselves, 323 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 4: that's all. And you know, we don't know right at 324 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 4: the end, but I like what the Coast did. I 325 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 4: mean I really do. I really like what the Coast did. 326 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 4: They I think there were some things that they wanted 327 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 4: to do, some areas they wanted to help themselves, not 328 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 4: just in a draft, but just in free agency as well, 329 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 4: and the things they did. So I think it's going 330 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 4: to bode well for the Colts throughout the year, and 331 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 4: hopefully everyone can stay healthy and we'll see what happens. 332 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: But I think Tyler. 333 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 4: Warren it's gonna make a big difference in regards to 334 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: what they do on offense, and lot's going to depend 335 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 4: on also the quarterback position. 336 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean that's a quarterbacks vision, not just 337 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: with the Colts, but you know you got Tennessee. 338 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 4: You know they got a young guy, you know, rookie 339 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 4: as you mentioned, so we'll see what happens. We don't 340 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 4: know what's going to happen with the Lawrence because he 341 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 4: ended the season not so well. 342 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. It's going to be interesting. 343 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: And now C J. 344 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 4: Straud is gonna have some new weapons, so we'll see 345 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: what if they can get on the same page. 346 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of question marks. 347 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 4: So we'll see what happens, and it's going to be 348 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 4: interesting year on twenty twenty five in the AFC South. 349 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: Now, it really will. And before we say goodbye here, Bill, 350 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: one of the things that we know is currently going on. 351 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 2: We've got the offseason training program is underway for the Colts. 352 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: We've we've were a weekend.
