We're focused on the regular 17 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: season and then we kind of have to catch up 18 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: a little bit here in the offseason. 19 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: So how many guys have you gotten through? 20 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: And kind of what has your process been for trying 21 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: to digest as many of these draft prospects a possible. 22 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 3: I'll tell you a period of time exactly how many 23 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 3: guys I've gotten through. I have watched one hundred and 24 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 3: seven prospects. 25 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: I think you know, we're actually about it the same thing. 26 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. 27 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, and I'll be on the day two draft 28 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: show this year for the ESPN, the digital show, the 29 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 3: one that saw that's on the YouTube day one and 30 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: day two, and so you got to you feel like 31 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: you gotta know everybody's going to go in those first 32 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: few days. 33 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 4: And so that's about where I'm at right now. 34 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 3: We're definitely getting to this stage where you watch fewer 35 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 3: players you like than players. 36 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 4: That you don't. 37 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 3: That's just kind of the nature of this part of 38 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: the draft. But yeah, I'm process wise. I came up 39 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: just being a film guy, right, I came up in 40 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 3: the draft space in general. And so to me, like, 41 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: before I read anything about Land and Jackson, I'm going 42 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: to watch them Land and Jackson. You try to get 43 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 3: mostly Gamston twenty four. You get a couple of games 44 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: in twenty three, try to watch them different opponents, different offenses, 45 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: different defenses, different schemes. You get some film notes down 46 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 3: on the guy. Inherently you have some questions right about Okay, 47 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 3: you know how experience is he? Okay, he was always 48 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 3: playing at the power five level. 49 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 4: You transfer from somewhere. Then you go, you get your bio, 50 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 4: you get your background. 51 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: You got obviously some of the athletics testing from the combine, 52 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: you try to coalesce that into a feel, Okay, what 53 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 3: systems can this guy fit in? What's the ceiling, year one, 54 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: year three kind of what can he become? And you 55 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: get a round grade from there. It's hard doing all 56 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: thirty two teams, right, you take a guy like Land 57 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: and Jackson. He works for some teams, he does not 58 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: work for others. How do you how do you grade that? Okay, 59 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: he's a round too pick for some guys, in a 60 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 3: round six picks for others. It's very difficult, but that's 61 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 3: part of the job, right, Just you know the player 62 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: as well, and you don't focus too much on the grade. 63 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: You try to focus more on understanding how the player 64 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: will win if he wins, and what will be the 65 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: limiting factor if he's limited. 66 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: How difficult is it for you to block out some 67 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 2: of what other people are saying about these guys, you know, 68 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: because you're getting ready for the Super Bowl, right, you're 69 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: doing your film work, you know, doing your you know, 70 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: chiefs Eagles work. But all of us, people like me, 71 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: out of the playoffs, we're at the Senior Bowl. We're 72 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: tweet we're putting stuff out there. By all this guy's, 73 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: this guy's that. How tough is it for you to 74 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: kind of block all that out so you really go 75 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: in with a fresh mind. 76 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: I think it was tough, and then you learn how 77 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 3: to do it right. I think that like when you're 78 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 3: first starting out, you hear what people are saying about 79 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: a prospect and you don't want to sit down on 80 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: his film and say, well, I see this guy completely 81 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: a different way. And then this is like my my 82 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: eighth or ninth year doing draft coverage. But by that 83 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: point you get comfortable with it, right to the point 84 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 3: where we're right, Like I feel I'm trying to think 85 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: of a good example of someone I turned on and 86 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: just completely disagreed with with with where people were at. Oh, 87 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: like Tyler Warren's a good example where like I put 88 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: Tyler Warren film on and Colston Love of Them film 89 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 3: on in I want to say, like early February, and 90 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, love is the title one to 91 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 3: be like clearly like I like Warreny's a good player, 92 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: Like Cleveland is clearly better. I feel like at the 93 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: time that was not really a thing. Everybody was hyped 94 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: up on Tyler Warren. He was going through the culturable Playoff, 95 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: he was making those crazy plays. Now to be at 96 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 3: closer to April, I feel like that's much more of 97 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: a conversation because some of the hype dies down. But 98 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: like you know, you learn how to filter through what 99 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: you see on on you know, when you're watching the 100 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: college Fable playoff games and you hear from the Senior Bowl, 101 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: you learn how to kind of filter that and actually 102 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 3: get back to the film. 103 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: Over years, we're in the hackens Zager Mariny Hell podcast. 104 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: You'll keep getting better, all right, Ben, So, I think 105 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: that's a good transition here. Let's talk about this class 106 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: in general and specifically at the Giants at three. Should 107 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: I be over complicating things more than just whichever guy 108 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: is there, cam Ward Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter, just 109 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: pick whichever dude has left to three, or should I 110 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: be thinking differently? 111 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: I think that's that is the correct approach. I think 112 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: that that's the way I would hope the Giants would 113 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: take it. I think, you know, even in the world 114 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: where it's Abdul Carter and you already have Brian Burns 115 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 3: and cave On Tibdau, it's a great problem to have 116 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: to have those three players. I don't think that you. 117 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 3: I think that Tibbdeau has had his moments. I don't 118 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: think he's had enough to keep you from drafting a 119 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: guy like abdual car and figure out the rotation between 120 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: those players. And so to me, that's how it should be. 121 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: I'll be interested to see if that's what it actually 122 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: ends up being because of the quarterback draw right, always, 123 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: when you know you have a Russell Wilson, you have 124 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 3: a Jameis Winston, you got those veteran contracts in place. 125 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: But a rookie quarterback and a good quarterback can save 126 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: a franchise, can en live en a franchise in a 127 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: way that we saw from Washington last season. And that's 128 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: always a temptation when your team, like the Giants, who 129 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: haven't been the playoffs and quite some time and have 130 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 3: been struggling in the playoffs, when they make it there, 131 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: Moving on from Daniel Jones, what if. 132 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: We go when we get that Shador Sanders. 133 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: He's a firebrand, he's a franchise saver, and now all 134 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 3: of a sudden, our team prognostication is totally different. So 135 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 3: that might be a big enough temptation to affect the 136 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: logic there at three. But to me, yeah, I'd be 137 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: very happy to staying at three and take one of 138 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 3: those three guys. 139 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 2: So then how should they approach the quarterback Where do 140 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 2: you see Chador in relation to the other guys in 141 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 2: the class. Who are your day two quarterbacks that you 142 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: think are worth taking a shot on, based on guys 143 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: that maybe could develop into something. How would you approach 144 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: the quarterback draft when it comes to the Giants? If 145 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 2: viewer and Joe Shane's shoes, yeah, I don't. 146 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: I think if the name play on the back of 147 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: Shador's jersey said something different, I would not talk about 148 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 3: him as a Round one player. I think he'd be 149 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: right around where we're talking about Jackson Dart, right about 150 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: where we're talking about Tyler Shuck. 151 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: I agree with it. 152 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, which you know, Darton Shuck to me are pretty traditional. 153 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 3: This is an interesting developmental quarterback. There's a shot that 154 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: this guy's good. Oh we're you know, maybe round two. 155 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: But hey, if we trade up a round one, then 156 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: we get our fifth year option, right, we get our 157 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 3: ability to kind of you know, get that extra cheap 158 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: year of quarterback play. So maybe we move up and 159 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: go get the guy I think, especially with the Brown 160 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: sitting there at thirty three. Overall, assuming the Brown spend 161 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: two on Hunter, which I think is chalk right now. 162 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: Oh man, if I wanted a quarterback at the top 163 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 3: of round two, I'd be really willing to get back 164 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: to the top round ones. I'd be willing about worried 165 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: about Cleveland's going to do with that thirty third pick, 166 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 3: And I don't have a good lean right now on Shock, 167 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: Jaln Milroe, Jackson Dart, Who's the guy that Cleveland really wants, 168 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 3: And so I would be willing to trade up to 169 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: go get in front of those guys. Of those dudes, 170 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 3: I like Shuck the best in terms of year one impact. 171 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: I think that he can be a Jared Golf like 172 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 3: player for you in terms of the play action game 173 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: and the big throws in the pocket. He's got the arm, 174 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 3: he's got good mechanic so off play action, he is 175 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: not mobile, he deals a lot of injuries, he's not 176 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 3: great against pressure, and he's quite old. 177 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 4: This is not a perfect prospect. 178 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: And so if they let's say the Giants take Shock 179 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 3: at thirty four, I think Shock will give you a 180 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 3: better offense than he gives Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston, 181 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: I absolutely do. By twenty six twenty seven, are you like, oh, 182 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 3: this guy's so clearly good enough that we have like 183 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 3: a contending team every year because of our. 184 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 4: Rookie contract quarterback. I'm not sure he's that level. 185 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: And so to me, like I don't mind the Giants 186 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: spending thirty four in a shock, I think dart is 187 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 3: defensible as well. If it ends up being a shadoor 188 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: fall situation and they end up going trading up into 189 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: the twenties, there are worlds where that works for you 190 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: in the short term. 191 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 4: I just think the ceiling is pretty low in those. 192 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: Guys, all right, Well, the one guy I think where 193 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: the ceiling is not low, but the floor can drop 194 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: out on you a little bit. 195 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: As Jalen Morroll. 196 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: You mentioned him in that conversation where if you just 197 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: evaluate him as a passer, you know he's a he's 198 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 2: a Day three pick. 199 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: But the athleticism, the arm strength, all that stuff. 200 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: Ben, what are you willing to pull the trigger on 201 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: a guy like Milroe knowing at least with Russell Wilson 202 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 2: in the building, he does not have to play this 203 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: year as your traditional quarterback. You could create packages for him, 204 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: which kind of gets me excited because he's a four 205 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: to four to two hundred and twenty pound athlete, which is, 206 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: you know you can use him in fun ways. 207 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: When would you be willing to pull the trigger on 208 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: the row. 209 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I would actually push back on the low 210 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: floor construction because whenever we talk about mobile quarterbacks we 211 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: often do that where you. 212 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: Say, you're right, I should say low floor is a passer. 213 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: I should right correct that. 214 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: You know, I know, I know where your head's at. 215 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: I think it's an important construct. I remember talking about 216 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: it with Justin Fields with anthrow bridge and all these 217 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 3: guys who came out and you say, a right, Ben, 218 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: those guys didn't work out. 219 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 4: You're right, they didn't work out. 220 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: But because the mobility is so good and you can 221 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: all right in the design run game. But also they 222 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: avoid sacks, right, they convert on third and alongs with 223 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: their legs. If you go and you look at the 224 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: most valuable individual plays from like an NPA per play 225 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: perspective that an offense can have, quarterbacks scrambles are are 226 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: typically the most valuable potential play because of how often 227 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: those end in first downs. 228 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 4: They had touchdowns. They eliminate sacks as well. 229 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: They remove negative plays where pocket passes would take a 230 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: sack or throw a contested ball to the wiping the interception. 231 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: Mobile quarterbacks can can go and scramble. And so there 232 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: are worlds I can get to in my head where 233 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: Jalen Milroe has to start for whatever team, Giants, Steelers, 234 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 3: any team in like week six because somebody goes down 235 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: and the offense just works because he's so freaking fast. 236 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: He's not just like Mo, but he is so freaking fast. 237 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 3: And so I'm very interested in Milroe a as a 238 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: Day two pick. Now, that high floor construction I just 239 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: presented for Milroe is a band aid construction. It is 240 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: a stop gapcuse nothing in my offense is working. So 241 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: let's just let the athlete be the athlete to play 242 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: eleven on eleven and will beat the teams that don't 243 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 3: know how to deal with it. You need Milroe to 244 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: improve as a passer, and then improve again, and then 245 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 3: improve again to get to a point where it's like, 246 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: all right, this is actually a legitimate, you know, dual 247 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: threat quarterback. I think he is remarkably less advanced, measurably 248 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: less advanced than Richardson was coming out as a pure 249 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: passer than Justin Fields was coming out as a pure passer. 250 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: A lot more reps in both of those films of 251 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 3: those guys just standing in the pocket, reading things out 252 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: and throwing. At the college level, Milroe will just sit 253 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: there waiting for pressure because he just wants to get 254 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: out of pocket. He has no interest in kind of 255 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: playing the game from the pocket, and so to me, 256 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: there's a lot of stride there. But man, you can't 257 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 3: teach four four two twenty five. 258 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 4: You can't do it. And it's very very handy when 259 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 4: you have it. So I'd be interested in him on 260 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 4: day two. 261 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. 262 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: I'm with you, all right, let's go to the all 263 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: tape team that you had up on ESPN, I think 264 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 2: last week, and you already talked to one of the 265 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: guys that the quarterback, Tyler Shuck. And I've tried to 266 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: like Red pell myself over the fact that he's twenty 267 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: six and he's been injured a lot, because I'm with you. 268 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: His tape's fun, man, different arm angles, arm strength. 269 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 2: He actually played in an offense that kind of looks 270 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: like an NFL offense. 271 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm like some of these other guys, which you know. 272 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 2: And I think the point you made in there that 273 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: I thought was interesting is that of all the guys, 274 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 2: even more so than the Dart, in my opinion, you 275 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: could expect him to come in and contribute right away 276 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: based on what we've seen him doing college. 277 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and and I am hesitant on older quarterbacks in general. 278 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 3: I was worried about bone next to this reason, worried 279 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 3: by Kenny Pickett for that reason. Shuck is a little 280 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 3: bit different because he suffered so many injuries, right, So, 281 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: like you know, bo Nex was like a five year starter. 282 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 3: He had so much experience versus Shuck where it's like, hey, 283 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: like you know, you actually like missed some time. And 284 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 3: that's that's why I hung around for a little bit long. 285 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 3: I do think that the injury background on the twenty 286 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: six years old it's something to be concerned about when 287 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: you start talking about, all right, if I have to 288 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 3: sign this guy to a second contract or Okay, it's 289 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: the film kind of lying to me because he's just 290 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: so much more mature than his opponents right now, for 291 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 3: a team like the Giants, like you just need a 292 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: good quarterback, like those problems are a little bit like, 293 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: you know, first world problems that the Giants are not 294 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: yet equipped to deal with, just given the way that that 295 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 3: quarterback has been such a limiting factor on this team 296 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 3: for the last few years. And so to me, if 297 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 3: you like Shuck's film, you have those wordy warths in 298 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: the back of your head, but you say, listen, like, 299 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 3: if we can just elevate the quarterback play here and 300 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: actually get you know, what we expect to get out 301 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 3: of Elik Neighbors and kind of if this defense is 302 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 3: what we expect this defense to be and we can 303 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: you know, just win games twenty one seventeen, like, then 304 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: I'll let the twenty twenty nine problem of paying Tyler 305 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: Shock when he's thirty years old, I'll let that be 306 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty nine problem. I just kind of want 307 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 3: to solve the twenty six problem right now. 308 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 2: Let me give you one more question on Shador because 309 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: I've heard this and I'm looking I'm gonna Dan brug 310 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: Laran tomorrow. I'm looking forward to asking him this question too. 311 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: People say he's accurate. 312 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: I agree. People say he's tough. I agree. The one 313 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: thing I think about a little bit harder. 314 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: They say he's a great processor, and he makes quick decisions. 315 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: Then I look at the fact that he was literally 316 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 2: bottom ten in all of college football last year in 317 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: terms of average time to throw when you take the 318 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: screens out and he passes beyond the line of scrimmage, 319 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: and that is not an advanced offense where there's a 320 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: ton of screens. There's only one a few different concepts. 321 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I see the processing part of it. 322 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: You watch a lot more tape than I do. I'm 323 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: curious what your take is on Shador the processor and 324 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: how quickly he gets through things. 325 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 3: I do not think Schador is a remarkable processor. I 326 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 3: think he's I think he's a fine college processor. I 327 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: think he makes good decisions with the ball in his hands, 328 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: and think that like you would not go like, oh, 329 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: low processing speed. That's something I would say about Jamn Mirroll. 330 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,599 Speaker 3: I would say about Jackson Dart as well. It's not 331 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: something gonna say about Shudoor. It's it's perfectly fine, it 332 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: works for you. What Chudor does very well, which I 333 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 3: think gets mistaken for processing being is she Door is 334 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: a very good risk manager. Right chod Or well will 335 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: look at a throw and say open, maybe not don't 336 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: want to drive it. Let me go somewhere else, right 337 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: like he uh should or he will hold the wall 338 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 3: for a long time and he will gramble around, He'll 339 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: take pression'll take sacks and he won't get away with 340 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: that as well. 341 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 4: At the NFL level, at quite a high sack rate. 342 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: In college a eight point one percent, I want to 343 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: say it was, and that's that's gonna have to uh 344 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 3: uh be hand handled at the NFL level. But from 345 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 3: an interceptible pass perspective, from a okay, you know, is 346 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 3: there enough juice? Is there enough meat on this downfield throw? 347 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: Is it worth risking to the play and the ball 348 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: to get thirty five yards? He manages risk very very well. 349 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 3: Would you like in a pocket passer who's just a 350 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 3: point guard? 351 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 4: Right? 352 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 3: He does not take dumb shots, but he will take 353 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 3: a shot when it's open. Right, you have a you 354 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: have a guy Will Howard of Ohios orsume me Riley 355 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 3: Leonard at an ore dame who Ryle Leonard just does 356 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 3: not take shots. Riley, it is open, we got to 357 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: push the ball. He just doesn't want to do it. 358 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 3: Will take the shots in there and I'll pass on. 359 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 3: He doesn't need to take them. So the risk management 360 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 3: is very good, but I think that can get conflated 361 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 3: with processing speed. 362 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: I think it's just a fine processoruddle up, get in here. 363 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: If you're lined up here, you gotta go over the 364 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: middle with at the score great. 365 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 3: How do we make that happen? 366 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 4: I don't know. 367 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,479 Speaker 3: Bud Citizen does makes sense of your money with citizens 368 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: Official Bank of Eli Manning. 369 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I agree. 370 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 2: Good processor, not all he's not Joe Burrow, right, let's 371 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: put him in the Joe level level processing, but really 372 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: good decision maker in terms of making trying to live 373 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 2: at mistakes. 374 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think that's a great way to 375 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: to kind of posit that. 376 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to running back and you bring 377 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 2: up a guy in your story that I'm happy you 378 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 2: did because not a lot of people talk about him 379 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: because he doesn't do anything that spectacular. You know, his 380 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: athletic testing isn't spectaculary. Watch him on tape. It's boring, 381 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: but damn it's good. And that's Devin Neil out of Kansas. 382 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: Why are you such a big fan? 383 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: Yeah? 384 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 3: I like backs who do what they're told, like facts 385 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: who behave right. A lot of these college backs fancy themselves. 386 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 3: You know, a cross between Larry Johnson and Saquon Barklan. 387 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: She's like, man, you know, Devin Neil gets exactly what's blocked. 388 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 3: He will get more than what's blocked because he's good 389 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 3: behind the line of scrimmage. She will set up double teams, 390 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 3: will be patient. 391 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 4: We needs to be patient. Fast, We needs to be fast. 392 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 3: You know, this is a really impressive draft for tackle 393 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 3: breakers and contact balance. You have guys in obviously Action Gentino, 394 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 3: mari and Hampton the top of the class, but Damian 395 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 3: Martine Martinez out of Miami and Cam scattabout Arizona State. 396 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: You have some guys who are like ninetieth percentile contact 397 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 3: bounced tackle breakers, very tough class. And so Devin Neil, 398 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: who's like eighty fifth never gets talked about in this 399 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 3: Area's a little bit smaller. He's just he's just not 400 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: like elite elite, But he said, he's a wonderful contact 401 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: bounce regularly sheds the first tackler he can get through 402 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 3: the trees, right, you get those arm tackles from nose 403 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 3: guards and deep with the tackles and survive it. He 404 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 3: doesn't have the home run speed, but he's mighty quick, 405 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 3: he's very bouncy, he's got very smart feet. Devin Neil 406 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: is extremely similar to Ashton Genty in terms of play style. 407 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: Is just you know, knock a letter grade off in 408 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: kind of every single trait. Right He's a B where 409 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: Gent he's an A in a lot of areas. And 410 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: so I'm a team that has a lot of uncertainty 411 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: at running back. I don't know who I want to 412 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 3: give volume to, and I would like to get a 413 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: back that I know I can trust to give fifteen 414 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: eighteen carries to. Not going to hit the Sacle and 415 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 3: Barkley home runs for me, not going to have Alvin 416 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: Kamara six yard six reception games for me, but it's 417 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: just going to keep my offense on schedule. I think 418 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 3: Neil is the best option on day three. So take 419 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: the Raiders at six. Oh, they've been paired to ash 420 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: Genty all year. If they go corner at six, they 421 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: trade out of six and they don't get Gent. There's 422 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: no one in that backfield right now you trust to 423 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: take volume. Come around, Take take Devin Neil round four 424 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 3: and just give it first rookie contract, give him fifteen 425 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: carries a game and he will keep you on schedule, 426 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: so very trustworthy player. 427 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 2: Do you love this running back class as much as 428 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: I do? I've I think I've gone through fifteen running 429 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: backs and I feel like there's stole another half. 430 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Doesn't I need to watch that? I think? 431 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: Or then when I've seen little bits and pieces, I 432 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: think are pretty good. And who are some of the 433 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: guys that are kind of your pet cats out of 434 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: the group that you love? 435 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 3: Yes, I was on with Mena on her show yesterday 436 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: and we talked about this class and we realized that 437 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 3: it's probably the best class since twenty seventeen. Had thirty 438 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: players selected in twenty seventeen day at running back. This 439 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 3: was the Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Joe Mix 440 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 3: and Alvin Kamara, Kareem Hunt, James Connor, Aaron Jones year right, 441 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 3: like just like filthy good, Right, this is probably the 442 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 3: best class since then. I brought up Damian Martinez out 443 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: of Miami, big fan of his Big Bruiser two sixteen 444 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 3: two twenty sweet feet. Romandre Stevenson is a guy. He 445 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 3: reminds me of a little bit Baseial Twoton, the speed 446 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: str out of Virginia Tech. Every year there's kind of 447 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 3: one of these, you know, plug and play wide zone 448 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 3: home run hitting backs. He's the one this year. He's 449 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 3: got fumble problems, Man, you can clean those up. And 450 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: I bet you he's a little bit better as a 451 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: pass catcher than you saw from Virginia tax because they 452 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 3: never used him like that. 453 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: I think he's also top ten to fifteen percent in 454 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: the in the breaking breaking tackles category two. He's one 455 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: of those other guys in high in those metrics. 456 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he he The thing is, he's very, very 457 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: smooth and son. 458 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 4: He can kind of like glide through a lot. 459 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 3: Of arm tackles and everything like that. He's not small either. 460 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 3: He's over He's over two hundred pounds. So I find 461 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 3: him very likable. I'm a big quinch on Judkins guy 462 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 3: on on day two. Same thing with Devin Neil, right, 463 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 3: Like Trayvon Henderson was the home run hitter for Ohio State, 464 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: but Johnkins just kept the offense on schedule because the 465 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 3: short yardage guy. Their third down guys very reliable. So 466 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: big fan of his as well. There's a lot of 467 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 3: guys to. 468 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 2: Like I'm with you, all right, let's go to wide 469 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: receiver not a great class at the top right. 470 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: And I think this is kind of a common theme. 471 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: And you said this when you were on with on 472 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: the Athletic Football Show with Robert Razy the other day. 473 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: This is not a draft where you want a premium pick. 474 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: Though I think picking the top three is okay because 475 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: you have a chance to get either a Hunter or 476 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: Carter right, but you get picking four to eleven, you're 477 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: kind of not getting the top ten player in any 478 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 2: other draft class. And I think wide receivers similar. I'm 479 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: a big tech McMillan guy. I like to get your 480 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 2: take on him. But I think day two, if you 481 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 2: look at for like a number two or number three 482 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: wide receiver, there are a lot of guys on Day 483 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 2: two and early Day three that are going to be 484 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 2: able to fill those roles for you. 485 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 3: No, I very much agree. I think that there's no 486 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: such thing as a bad receiver class. I don't think 487 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 3: it exists because they're just like fifteen twenty years ago, 488 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 3: colleges couldn't throw the ball. We have to remember this, 489 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 3: like they weren't good enough quarterbacks, the schemes weren't good, 490 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 3: like there were many many offenses like the Alabama national champions. 491 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 4: They just never threw it right. They had like Alvin 492 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 4: Ridley and and Maari Cooper. 493 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 3: You're not throwing the ball now with RPOs, with quarterback 494 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 3: development seven on seven in high school, so many more 495 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 3: teams throw the ball. 496 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 4: You have three receivers on the field. I ever given play. 497 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 3: There's so many different body types of athletes styles that 498 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: work at that position that you're just never going to 499 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 3: have a class that's devoid of talent. 500 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 4: Sure it's not. 501 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 3: Romandunzi Laku Neighbors and Marvin Harrison Junior, but it's still 502 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: I think a very dense class, a lot of starting 503 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 3: caliber options. 504 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 4: I agree. 505 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: And the guy that you bring up in your All 506 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 2: Film Team on ESPN dot Com story is Jack bash 507 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 2: At a TCU boy. Just watching the quarterback play at 508 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 2: TCU can can give you a little bit of a 509 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: headache trying to watch good targets like Stevian Williams and him. 510 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: But what struck me about him and you talk about 511 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 2: his transitioning from a receiver to a runner, I just 512 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 2: think what he does at the top of the rout 513 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 2: tree is really really good. Like his ability at his 514 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 2: size and weight to change direction at the top of 515 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 2: the routree to go break wherever he's breaking, and I 516 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 2: think we saw that in his in his three cone 517 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 2: and a short shuttle with the combine. I just think 518 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: he's very sharp as a rout runner, knows how to 519 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 2: get open, and that dude does not drop anything. 520 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack Bash is gonna be a good pro for 521 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 3: a very very long time because he is He is 522 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 3: exactly what a quarterback wants that player to be. He 523 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: will block, and he'll block his butt off when he 524 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: needs to. You said, he will catch everything. He will 525 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 3: erase inaccuracy. He will make difficult catches over the middle 526 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 3: of the field through contact. 527 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 4: So when I have to throw a. 528 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 3: Glance to a slant to and you have to go 529 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 3: get it for me on third down, he will go 530 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 3: get it for you. And then the moment he becomes 531 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 3: a runner, he is out to kill the I mean 532 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 3: he is so physical, he is so tough. He carries 533 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 3: big guys for extra three yards. He was really good 534 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 3: Like short yard it's a goal line for them. Just 535 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: because of how tough he is. Your quarterback is going 536 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: to love throwing the football to Jack Bash. That is 537 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 3: just going to keep you around forever. And then if 538 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 3: he is enough of an athlete because he didn't run 539 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: a forty and like the long speed is a question. 540 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 3: He's quicker than he is explosive, which is like Cooper 541 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 3: Cupp is that way too compat the great agility tests, 542 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: bad jumps, and Besh's built that exact same way. If 543 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 3: he can be enough of an NFL athlete to break 544 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: the first angle and get and get a little bit 545 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: loose in the open field, he's. 546 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 4: Got a ten year career. 547 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: Not as the wide receiver one best, the wide receiver 548 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 3: two who just eats eats, eats volume and just just 549 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 3: always reliable for the team. 550 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 4: I think that's just gonna be a long, long time. Bro. 551 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 2: Can the league just get together and not let Sean 552 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 2: McVay draft this guy, because I think he would just 553 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 2: love having this guy in his roster. 554 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 555 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 3: I mean, like I keep looking at the Texans, and 556 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 3: then I look at the Dolphins, and I look at 557 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 3: the Packers Dolphins if they move on from Tyree Kill. 558 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 3: But those three teams in the second round where I 559 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: say there's a lot of room for a Jack Best 560 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 3: to be very valuable for this team. 561 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree with all Right, let's go to 562 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 2: tight ends. You've been on Mitchell Evans. So I think 563 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 2: it's interesting because I think you see as his upside 564 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: as a true y right, as a guy that can 565 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: block a little bit. And my understanding that he dealt 566 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 2: with a lot of injuries this year and he's probably 567 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: a better athlete than what he showed on tape in 568 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: another really good tight end class. 569 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: Why did the tape of Evans jump out to you? 570 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, So Evan's had a late ACL tear in the 571 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three season where he was really really dominant. 572 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 3: He's having some some big games for Notre Dame with 573 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 3: not great quarterback play, and so that late tair means 574 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 3: that you either have to miss some time at the 575 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 3: start of the twenty four season or you have to 576 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 3: rehab really fast and come back really fast. And Notre 577 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 3: Dame had playoff aspirations, the championship aspirations. So he came 578 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 3: back and he played Week one and just like you 579 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 3: put you put on the early you know, week one 580 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 3: week two film, you're like, oh my god, Like this 581 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 3: guy's running at like seventy percent. He just is not 582 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 3: finished with rehab at all, and and but he's trying 583 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: to stay it at playing weight, and he's you know, 584 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: he's competing in games, and so like the rehabit slows 585 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: down and just the over the course of the year, 586 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 3: he's getting a little bit faster and getting a little 587 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,719 Speaker 3: bit looser. He's missing fewer snaps. But in general, like 588 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: it just was, it was clearly not the athlete he 589 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 3: wasn't twenty three. So if you can get me twenty 590 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 3: twenty three, Mitch Levens, because after another season, another offseason, 591 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 3: he's fully healthy, then right, I have a guy who's 592 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: who can play two fifty two hundred and fifty five pounds, 593 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 3: who catches reliably over the middle of the field, can 594 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 3: make some tough catches up the scene and down the field, 595 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 3: blocks very very well in line, blocks well in space. 596 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 3: He's just a well rounded tight end. He's very col Cometish, right, 597 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 3: remember Cole Comet coming out of Notre Dame. You know, 598 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 3: big surprise, but he's very col Commetish and that there's 599 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 3: there's no big weakness to his game, there's no big 600 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: zip to his game. Oh incredible, whatever. But Comett was 601 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 3: a top fifty pick and then went on to become 602 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 3: like a top ten, top twelve court contract at tight 603 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 3: end when he signed his deal. If I get Evans 604 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 3: and that two rounds later with injury risk reminds me 605 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: of like the Eagles taking Josh Sweat, Right, It's just like, hey, 606 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 3: you know, we're gonna roll the dice on Lesson. If 607 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: he pounds out for us, he pans out for US, 608 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 3: loan and behold. Sometimes those injury guys do. 609 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: So that's why, like Evans, you mentioned the Warren Loveland 610 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: thing at the top. Very briefly, I think the thing 611 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 2: about ty Warren that gets people. You see the way 612 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 2: he runs, and you're like, well, that guy has to 613 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: be a good blocker. And I think you see how 614 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 2: he approaches blocking, and he approaches it like a guy 615 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 2: who's going to be a really good blocker. But then 616 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: you see him actually try to block guys, and a 617 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 2: lot of times the results aren't what you think they 618 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: should be based on his body type and how he plays. 619 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 3: Thirty one and a half in charms for Tyler Warren 620 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 3: measured at the NFL Combine, and so all those measurements 621 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: are bad this year, like they're all too short. He 622 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 3: didn't go, he didn't measure at all of his pro day, 623 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 3: and so we didn't get an update of pro Day. 624 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 3: So imagine his arms are somewhere around thirty two inches. 625 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 3: But if you look at the guy, he just looks 626 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: a little bit shorter in the arms. 627 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 4: And then when you watch him block, he falls off 628 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 4: of blocks because he doesn't have great length, and that's 629 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 4: going to be a limiting factor for you in your ability. Right, 630 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 4: he comes into contact good, I agree with you, he 631 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 4: has the want to, I agree with you, and then 632 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 4: he goes to get his hooks in. 633 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 3: Lock out and engage Ryan get to that point of 634 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 3: control and he just reaches his maximum point. And so 635 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: when he plays against bigger bodies that there's a big 636 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 3: limiting factor there. And so I think he's much better 637 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 3: for like blocking in space, which is how you saw 638 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 3: Penn State try to use him right, kind of stock 639 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 3: blocking and on these screens, and I think you know 640 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 3: he's even though he's got that tough guy moniker and 641 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 3: he's two hundred and fifty five pounds in the NFL, 642 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 3: is going to be a move tight ends. He's so 643 00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 3: good after the catch with the ball in his hands, 644 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 3: So you're gonna see him used that way kind of 645 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 3: a more so a guy who's detached from the line 646 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 3: of scrimmage, which is a totally fine, acceptable usage. 647 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 4: You can draft the guy in the first. 648 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: Round, but it's worth noting like for some teams what 649 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 3: they want from their tight end. Warren has pretty dramatic 650 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 3: limiting factors at leveland dozens. That's that's where I landed 651 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 3: on the guys. 652 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: Any other second day tight end that you really think 653 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: stands out a month, what's a pretty deep group. 654 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 3: Great tight end class. I like Mason Taylor out of 655 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 3: elis you a lot. I like Terrence Ferguson, the young 656 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: man out of Oregon quite a bit as well. Gunner 657 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 3: Helm out of Texas is the guy that I think 658 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,239 Speaker 3: has the best like kind of blocking upside. He has 659 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: a lot of want to, He has a lot of 660 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 3: no how he the text would leave him isolated against 661 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: edges and he would fight man. He would He would 662 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 3: get a sustained to two and a half seconds before 663 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: he lost, which is very impressive for a college tight end. 664 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 4: He has some technique problems, right, He wastepends. 665 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 3: He leans on guys and you can get snatched if 666 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: you clean that up like this is like a I 667 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 3: remember how good Dallas Goddard got blocking it tight end 668 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 3: over the coming out of South Dakota State, became a 669 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 3: real impactful player for the Eagles again over his time. Though, 670 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 3: to me, Gunner Helms is that guy who if if 671 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 3: you're talking to me, like if like a three down 672 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: tight end who really leaves out. Gunner helm is my guy. 673 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: But Ferguson and Taylor as well, all three of them. 674 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 3: It's a very likable tight end class. 675 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: I'm with you one hundred percent. All right, let's go 676 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: to the offensive one here, Willie Lampkin. I'm gonna call 677 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 2: it little Willie Lampkin, even though he's not really little 678 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: compared to us, but for other offensive lineman, he's little, 679 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: and he was really good at the Senior Bowl. He's 680 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: the guy that maybe the measurables don't fit, but man, 681 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 2: you're right, his tape is great. 682 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's five five foot eleven, which is just he's 683 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 3: like five to eleven, probably played like two seventy five. 684 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 3: It is a completely unacceptable NFL size. But what if 685 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: it wasn't What. 686 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 4: If it isn't right? What if he's the exception that 687 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 4: proves the rule. 688 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 3: In his time at Coast to Carolina, he played he 689 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: played at tackle he played a guard. He played at center. 690 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: He goes to you and see he plays at guard. 691 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 3: He's gonna have to be a center at the NFL level. 692 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 3: But we have a guy with positional versatility. We have 693 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 3: a guy who's who's already at the college level a 694 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 3: disproportionately good pass blocker for his size. Right, he has 695 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 3: that natural leverage. He fights to a lot of neutrals. 696 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 3: He can he can drop the anchor relatively well. And 697 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: so I if you're talking to me about a late 698 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 3: day through pick of UDFA, that's what he's gonna be. Yeah, 699 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 3: I'll give him a shot to come in and be 700 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: my second from his own team. See if it works, 701 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: and if it doesn't, I'll patrick ricard him. I'll find 702 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: six offensive line packages which are increasingly becoming common in 703 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 3: the NFL. Right, I can you know attachment line of scrimmage, 704 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: tend him in motion, put him in the backfield, kind 705 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 3: of use him as a super sized fullback. So he 706 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 3: is a interesting player. I think the size does preclude 707 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: him from like having legitimate NFL success, but it should 708 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 3: have precluded him for having legitimate ACC success. And he 709 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: won the award for the best Offensive Alignment in the 710 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 3: conference and so who knows. 711 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 4: Man, give him a shot. 712 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 2: Now, I'm with you, and in this offensive line class 713 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 2: in general, I would love for the Giants for drafts 714 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: and offensive tackle here and starting in round two, can't 715 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: find one. 716 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: I gonna be honest with you. You know, maybe ariante 717 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: Ursery from Minnesota. Maybe is my only day too offensive tackle. 718 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: All these other offensive tackles to me are moving into guard. 719 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 2: So if you want to find a guard that I 720 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 2: think you could find one on day two. But I 721 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 2: don't think you'll find the many tackles here. 722 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 4: Man, did you watch did you watch though William and 723 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 4: Mary Kay? Charles Grant? 724 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: I have not watched Charles Grant yet. No, watch you 725 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: some Charles Grant. 726 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 3: Then get back to me on all these tackles have 727 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 3: to become guards because I think he can stay and 728 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 3: he can hang. 729 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's the one guy. I'm not watched it. 730 00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: I've heard good things he's on. 731 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 3: It's not a lot of film out there on it, 732 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 3: but you can find a couple of games and yeah, 733 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 3: it's it's I expect him to go round too, and 734 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 3: I expect him to be the developmental tackle of choice 735 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 3: because I agree it's him, and then Boston College Ozzie 736 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: Trapeo pill yeh, yeah, who gets talked about a staying 737 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 3: at tackle. I think Trapeo is fine more Round three 738 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 3: for me, Grant is the. 739 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 4: One I have to be interested in. Round two. 740 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. 741 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: I watched your pillow the Senior Bowl and he was 742 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 2: He started rough first day, but he ended up doing 743 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 2: much better the next couple of days. Really nice size 744 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: with him over there. I think he's more of a 745 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 2: right tackle than the left tackle too. Agreed with with 746 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 2: the way he plays. 747 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: If you want to know how to manage two minutes 748 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: of crunch time football, I'm your man. 749 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 3: But if you're wondering about a long term financial plan, 750 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 3: you should talk to Citizens. 751 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 4: Hey, I can also talk long care. 752 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: I'd like to learn about a Mollia routine.

I've 762 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 2: bet fans yell at me for trying to give them 763 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: tyleegue Williams to pick thirty four of role because he 764 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 2: dosn't rush the passer. And I said, guys, this might 765 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 2: be the safest player in the draft because he is 766 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 2: just a dominant run stuffer. And if I wind up 767 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: with like a Dalvin Tomlinson plus with my thirty fourth 768 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 2: overall pick, what's wrong with that? 769 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 4: Yeah? 770 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 3: And that's that's I think that's about what you're getting 771 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 3: as a Dalvin Thomlinson plus. I think he also can 772 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 3: be a better pass rusher in the NFL than he 773 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 3: was in college. 774 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 4: If you watch those Ohio. 775 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 3: State that entire defensive line, Jack Sawyer, j T. Twomloile, 776 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 3: it's very clear that the coaching point was play the run, 777 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 3: play the run, play the run, and play the run, 778 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 3: and then if we get pass, yeah, you can go 779 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 3: kind of collapse and like you know, suffocate the pocket. 780 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 3: But they were not attempting to be a high sack, 781 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 3: high pressure, upfield penetrate team. Everybody along that line was 782 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: controller gaps, controller space will solve problems on the back end, 783 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 3: and so Williams is every physical trait of a guy 784 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 3: who can be like a four or five sack player 785 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 3: from defensive tackle. 786 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 4: That's typically pretty good. 787 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 3: Giants fans are spoiled with extra Lawrence, the best pass 788 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 3: rushing nos tackle the world has ever seen. 789 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 4: But like that, he has that ceiling. That's a fine ceiling. 790 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: So I agree. I like him as an early round 791 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 3: two pick. I think he's worth that for the Giants. 792 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 3: When you have Lawrence in place, I would want to 793 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 3: prioritize pass rush over run stuffing at the defensive line. 794 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 3: But if they were to make the pick, I'd be 795 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 3: very quickly like, oh heck, yeah, but let's just never 796 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: get run on again. It's a fun duo for sure. 797 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, which they've had trouble stopping for the last like 798 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: three or four years. It's been bad. 799 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 2: So I guess what I like about the defensive tackle 800 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 2: class band. It is also deep, and I think you 801 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 2: do have a number of guys that can play both roles. Right, 802 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 2: you're upfield three technique, whether it's the Sanders kid out 803 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: of South Carolina, you could talk about Omore Norman, lot 804 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: guys like that, and then you have your run stuffers 805 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 2: we talked about Tylie Williams. You could talk about Caldwell 806 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: guys like that, so you would prioritize pass rush first. 807 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: Who are maybe some of the guys you like a 808 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: little bit later, maybe one one stuffer and one guy 809 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 2: that can get a field a little bit. 810 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: I like Darius Alexander out of Toledo for your for 811 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 3: your pass rush, and I think that there's he's a 812 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 3: late bloomer and he's an older prospect to Okay, you 813 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 3: walk in a little bit concerned, and then you see 814 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 3: what the background was and kind of how he came 815 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 3: to Toledo and they talked. 816 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 4: They've talked a lot about Hey, like. 817 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 3: When he was first here and like the first couple 818 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 3: of years he shouldn't have his head screwed on straight, 819 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 3: like he did not take this as seriously. 820 00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 4: As maybe he'd wanted to. And then the light bulbs 821 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 4: are to go on to what he was capable of it. 822 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 3: You say, Okay, I now understand why this guy has 823 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 3: had the arc that he does. It's a little bit 824 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 3: more explicable to me. And so I like Alexander as 825 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 3: as your upfield guy. And then you said another more 826 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: of a stuffing. Yeah, uh, broughtman out of Texas. 827 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: I like. 828 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 3: I think Alfred Collins gets a little bit more of 829 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 3: the the hype and the push. But Brown's everything you 830 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 3: want for a rotational defensive lineman. He's a B minus 831 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 3: C plus player. Everywhere is a high effort. He's got 832 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 3: a lot of pop in his hands. So he's more 833 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 3: of like a round three, round four guy that I 834 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 3: would take. 835 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Ashton Jewatt. He's your tape 836 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: guy at defensive end. He's somebody that On our draft 837 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: season podcast with Tony Pauline, we talked a lot about 838 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: hitting into the last year's draft. We thought he was 839 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 2: gonna come out being a very productive player in twenty 840 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 2: twenty three. And I'm having trouble finding a position for 841 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: him because he's kind of really oddly shaped. He doesn't 842 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 2: look like a defensive end, but he's too small to 843 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 2: be a defensive tackle. I know, you complain, and you're 844 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: right up, and you're right. He played that kind of 845 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: inside rush position where it's impossible to get to the quarterback. 846 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 2: See Michael Williams, your thoughts on JOEA. Where he will 847 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 2: fit in the National Football League wherever he gets drafted. 848 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think Galot is a you know, uh, 849 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 3: break glass in case emergency players. It's like he's like 850 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 3: a detonation player demo. You just want to strap a 851 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 3: stick of dynamite to his back and throw him into 852 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 3: a backfield. He is really really good when he's allowed 853 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 3: to come off the land of scrimmage with a fast 854 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 3: first step of just arriving with speed to power and 855 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 3: then chaining that into a bowl rush and taking attack. 856 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 3: When putting him in the lap of the quarterback, he 857 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 3: is stubby, does not have long arms, so he's not 858 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 3: gonna easily throw rush moves and separate and then finish 859 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 3: the sack. But if you're talking about a guy rushing 860 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 3: opposite an elite rusher, he's gonna have the ability to 861 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 3: prevent the quarterback from escaping, from moving the quarterback off 862 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 3: of a spot, and cleaning up lanes for that elite rusher. 863 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: You think about what the Lions wanted Josh Pascal to 864 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 3: be opposite Aiden Hutchinson, and Pascal has been hurt and 865 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 3: then when Basketball got healthy, Hudson God hurts. 866 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 4: Who haven't seen it. 867 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 3: But if there's that construction of okay, one guy's my 868 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 3: strong side rusher who's who's going to handle that side 869 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 3: of the field, so my weakside rusher can dominate. That's 870 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: Gelot fits into that construction. Didn't get to do it 871 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 3: at Louisville, and he was the best rushing in Louso, 872 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 3: so they wanted him to be their sack artist. So 873 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 3: the NFL role is gonna be a lot different than 874 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 3: the college role. But the NFL role can be valuable 875 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 3: even if the sack number aren't going to be that high. 876 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 3: So Marcus Golden, who like Marcus gold Out a couple 877 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 3: seasons of eight ten sacks, But Marcus Golden is the 878 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 3: comp here where it's just like, Okay, he's a little 879 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 3: bit undersize, not long, but boy, if he gets off 880 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage, we can go reek. 881 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 4: Some havoc back there and somebody else can clean up 882 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 4: the mess for us. 883 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think he's I think he's gonna 884 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: be a really good player, all right. I think linebacker 885 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 2: is a sneaky need for the Giants. Bobby Ocarike is 886 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: into the third year of his contract. He's not a 887 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 2: couple of years back. Mike McFadden's going into the last 888 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 2: year of his rookie deal and I have not watched 889 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 2: linebackers that they It was my last group. 890 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: But I know you're a big fan, of course in 891 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: swets and you're white. 892 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 4: Oh Man, Yeah, Sweass is really, really, really good. 893 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: I was just watching his teammate ol Wafami Ladjo, who's 894 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 3: a linebacker convert to edge, and I hanging got eyes 895 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 3: on him, and I was watching him last night. I 896 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 3: just kept on watching Sweats and just been like, man, 897 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 3: oh man, we have we have a six three two 898 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: and forty pound linebacker can play the pass. 899 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 4: And he measured too fory the combine. He probably played 900 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 4: closer to thirty. 901 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 3: But it's the Fred Warner thing where it's like, all right, 902 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 3: like if you're gonna be long upright with length, like 903 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: you're always gonna lose to power in the trenches. You 904 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 3: have to be fast to see the holes developed, you 905 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 3: have to feel the undercut and slide und her blocks. 906 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 4: He can do all of this. 907 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 3: He's great at hiding behind stuff, playing the running back patiently, 908 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 3: playing multiple gaps. So he's got those tackles out of 909 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 3: near the line of scrimmage. High tackle player, good solo tackler, 910 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 3: great form. So okay, he solves the problem between the 911 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 3: tackles among the trees that his body type is gonna 912 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: give him such that when he drops back in, I 913 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 3: guess the past. 914 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 4: Man like. 915 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 3: There's just stuff you can't teach in terms of reading 916 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 3: the quarterback, in terms of spacing routes. He used to 917 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 3: play safety in high school. He converted the linebacker UCLA 918 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 3: as a walk on, and you can just tell he 919 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 3: feels it the way that a guy is supposed. 920 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 4: To feel it. 921 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 3: I remember doing j Oka came out as all his 922 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 3: safety converts the linebacker on a Notre Dame. 923 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 4: Jok didn't feel it, man like. He didn't have good 924 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 4: zone spacing. 925 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 3: He didn't know where how the Dolphins was trying to 926 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 3: stretch him and relocate him. Schwastinger just he could explain 927 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 3: it if you asked it to him, but he just 928 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 3: knows where it's coming. This is a highly impactful passive 929 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 3: feder for the middle of the field. If you play 930 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 3: split field defense, this is the exactly the sort of 931 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 3: the player that you want to be able to put 932 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 3: there and solve problems for you. I think he should 933 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 3: go late round one. He's taking some meetings like Ravens. 934 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 3: Some of these late round one teams but top forty, 935 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 3: top forty five, I'd expect for sure. 936 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 4: You can see him going. You see him be an 937 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 4: impactful starter in year one. 938 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: I love the fact he was a walk on, had 939 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 2: to fight his way onto the roster, all that stuff. 940 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 3: Only a one year starter and it wasn't even supposed 941 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 3: to be the starter coming into the year. 942 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 4: And then they put him out there and he had 943 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 4: like eleven tackles and they're like, all right, shoot, leave him. 944 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 2: And I think, wasn't he one of the reasons they 945 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: moved Ola Dayjo over to edge too so they could 946 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: play him inside. 947 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 4: Yes, they had. 948 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 3: They had a big defensive scheme change, and they had 949 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 3: a big long jam logjam at linebacker position. They had 950 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 3: a couple guys come out in most recent drafts. They 951 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 3: have another linebacker I can't remember his name now, starts 952 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 3: with a K, but he's come out in this class 953 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 3: like a round seven guys, a high caliber athlete, you know, 954 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 3: not necessarily a great football player right now, but they 955 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,719 Speaker 3: just had an unbelievab run of success with prospects at 956 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 3: that outside linebacker, inside and labbacker position. So they've had 957 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 3: like six or seven dudes down the last two or 958 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 3: three years. Come out as undersized line edges or as 959 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 3: off ball linebackers, and he was just caught in the shuffle. 960 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 3: And he's the best of the to come out last year, four. 961 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: Years and I like all the day hoo. 962 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 2: By the way, as a developmental edge, I watched him 963 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 2: up close to the senior ball, the violence he plays 964 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 2: with coming off the edge, and he's really good size. 965 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 4: Hey, young man has built to play it. Some professional 966 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 4: football say that right now. He is a well constructed 967 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 4: young man. 968 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, he is, absolutely Just imagine watching him like right 969 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: up close running those X plays. 970 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. All right, let's go 971 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: to your two defensive backs. Now. 972 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 2: I don't think the Giants will be huge into defensive 973 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 2: backs because of all the draft capital and then free 974 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 2: agent money they used on those two positions over the 975 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: last two years. But as of Thomas, I'm with you. 976 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 2: I think he has to be in a press system. 977 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 2: Though you don't want him play inn off in space. 978 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 2: I think that's a recipe for trouble. And then you're 979 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 2: a big Andrew mccooba fan. Yeah, bet, this is a great, 980 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 2: great draft for corners at the top round two. Thomas 981 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 2: being one of those players I tend to like guys 982 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 2: who I think can eliminate routes early in the down 983 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 2: first one second, one point five two seconds, because that's 984 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: so that's my pass rush get home. 985 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 4: And you have a guy in Thomas. 986 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 3: Who absolutely like you put him up against Justin Jefferson 987 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 3: for four quarters. He's gonna lose a couple, no question 988 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 3: about it. But he also has the ability to win 989 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 3: on third and five by just suffocating the route, and 990 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 3: that is not a common trait even among some of 991 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 3: the cornersho go in the first round. So if I 992 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 3: can go get that at forty because people are worried 993 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 3: about the forty yard dash time, I'm fine with that 994 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 3: because I'm not going to try to play a sort 995 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 3: of defense where he's running on on forty yard you know, 996 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 3: straight lines all the time anyway. And so Thomas is 997 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 3: scheme specific and he has a little bit of risk, 998 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 3: but he has cardinal traits that you don't always find. 999 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 3: And if you and if you take a swing on 1000 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 3: those guys in around two and give him starting opportunities, 1001 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 3: if they can figure it out, then that's very desirable 1002 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 3: to me. So like Thomas mccuba, man, if you could 1003 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 3: just if mccuba was just like six foot and a 1004 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 3: half at like two hundred and five pounds, it'd be 1005 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 3: like a Round one safety. But he is small and 1006 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 3: he is very thin, and so you worry about a 1007 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 3: high physicality play style leading to an injured an injury 1008 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 3: riddled career. But holy smokes like he will come off 1009 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 3: the roof free safety eighteen yards back. He will come 1010 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 3: off the roof and make a tackle with the line 1011 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 3: of scrimmage on the back like the instincts division and 1012 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 3: the infield space tackling. I know people have issues with 1013 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 3: him because he's an anngle by it and he'll die, 1014 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 3: but he has to do it because he's not big enough. 1015 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 4: He's gotten very good at it. 1016 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 3: It's not the best way to tackle, but his efficacy 1017 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 3: doing so is legitimately impressive because this is just how 1018 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 3: he's had to live his ability player for the slot 1019 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 3: because of the size of the transitional quickness, he sees 1020 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 3: it very fast and then he goes for the football. 1021 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 3: He has multiple force fumbles this year in pursuit in 1022 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 3: recovery behind the guy put his hand on the ball, 1023 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 3: shoulder on the ball. He knows, oh, if I'm not 1024 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 3: the primary tackler. He's got to knows for getting the 1025 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 3: ball on the ground, which is impactful play from the 1026 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 3: safety position. So to me, I expect him round two 1027 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 3: just because of the size constraints. But if he succeeds, 1028 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 3: he had a fell with his bill and he's going 1029 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 3: to be a plus starter pushing for Pro Bowls because 1030 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 3: he's got everything you need. 1031 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 2: Who's the tiny guy that came out a couple of 1032 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 2: years ago ended up going in I think into the 1033 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 2: Ravens starting one. 1034 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 3: R Darius Washington, yep, who he had to play and 1035 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 3: start this year. And Washington's even smaller than Thomas Washington. 1036 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 3: My size is smaller than Akuba. 1037 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 4: And so. 1038 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 3: He had to play this year for them when they 1039 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 3: had the transitions in safety, and he was actually a 1040 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 3: pretty useful player for them. Yeah, the guy, he plays 1041 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 3: very much like Chouty Gardener Johnson. He can do things 1042 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 3: that Johnson conducers, the instincts, the tackles that line scrimmers 1043 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 3: covering the slot. 1044 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 4: Johncey plays probably a little bit south of two hundred. 1045 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 3: Mccooba plays like one to eighty one eighty five, and 1046 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 3: so it's just the thing the weight to lack of 1047 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 3: of density that you're worried about. 1048 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 2: All Right, final question, and I'd like to ask this 1049 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 2: to you every time we chat, because you watch it 1050 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: as much of more tape than anyone. What are some 1051 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: of the trends in the NFL that you've noticed as 1052 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season went along that you think 1053 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 2: are predictive to next year and that teams and decision 1054 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 2: makers and team builders should be keeping in mind as 1055 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 2: they try to build out their rosters. 1056 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 4: That's a good question. 1057 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,479 Speaker 3: I think they I talked about six offensive line becoming 1058 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 3: a little bit more a valuable thing. You're just increasingly 1059 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 3: seeing teams and this is a big renaissance year for 1060 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 3: running the football. Okay, Eagles, Ravens, Lions and Bills, and 1061 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 3: a lot of the talk was, oh, you know Saquon 1062 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 3: Barkley and Josh Jacobs and Derek Henry and the veteran 1063 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 3: running back. The other thing is just having the sixth 1064 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 3: person you can get involved in the running game. This 1065 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 3: was the thing about Kyle Yuschik and the Niners. It 1066 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: was so valuable in the late twenty tens, just that 1067 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 3: having that sixth body be actually a pactful, not something 1068 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 3: you choose not like an average tight end, like a 1069 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 3: legitimate guy. Here for the Bills, they bring in Alec Anderson, 1070 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,760 Speaker 3: six off its alignement tight. I played tight end the Ravens, obviously. 1071 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 3: Patrick recard for the Eagles is Dallas Godds, one of 1072 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 3: the best run blocking tight ends that you can find 1073 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 3: in football. Obviously they have Galen Hurts as well to 1074 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 3: make the math better and so it. The unsexy blocking 1075 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 3: tight end is never going to start being picked in 1076 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 3: round two again, like that ain't gonna happen. But I'm 1077 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 3: telling you it is an important role to have on 1078 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 3: your offense if you want to be able to run 1079 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 3: the ball, control the clock, and control gamescript the way 1080 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 3: that these teams do. So that stands out to me. 1081 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 3: The other thing that stands out to me is we've 1082 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 3: gotten so good at moving receivers around the hiding receivers 1083 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 3: right like it. Just at this point you know you 1084 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 3: can get just by anybody open that you want by 1085 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 3: sending them in motion and snapping the ball with him 1086 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 3: running around right like two to at well got ten 1087 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 3: million dollars from the Rams this year. Hasn't had a 1088 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 3: career like a season more than six hundred receiving yards. 1089 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 3: But they send him flying around, They send him you know, 1090 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 3: long speed and whatever. He stresses out the defense for you. 1091 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 3: So I remember back when we started, I started doing 1092 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 3: draft coverage man twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. Absolute first thing 1093 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 3: I would write down usher receivers. How does he get 1094 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 3: off press coverage? 1095 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: Right? Okay? 1096 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 3: But he is pressed up a line of scrimmage. How well, 1097 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 3: how does this guy behave if he if he can't 1098 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 3: solve that problem, there's only so many places I can 1099 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 3: play him. Now, I'll like forget to write it on 1100 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 3: a guy like Luthor, Like you know, Luthor Burden, the 1101 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 3: third Missouri Nancy one rapid press coverage in his life. 1102 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 3: And when whenever he goes to the NFL, he's not 1103 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 3: going to a smart team is not gonna put him 1104 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 3: in a spot where he can get pressed. So we're 1105 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 3: that's a that's a a because of how how good 1106 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 3: offense has gotten to moving guys around. That is a 1107 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 3: skill that has diminished in value. If you can do it, 1108 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 3: chick right, because now I don't have to worry about 1109 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,439 Speaker 3: scheming you up and go scheme somebody else up. But man, 1110 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 3: like a guy like a Burden the guy like Matthew 1111 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 3: Golden out of Texas. You just use JOZ press coverage 1112 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 3: strips on their film and and that used to be 1113 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 3: a problem. And now the NFL is like, no, we 1114 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 3: don't care. We can solve that problem for them, No, 1115 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 3: no issue. 1116 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 2: All right, Ben, I talked about your all film story 1117 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 2: that's up there on ESPN. Anything else you have coming 1118 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 2: out that you and fans that kind of keep their 1119 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 2: eye on. 1120 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,439 Speaker 3: I had on my all quarterback mock this this week, 1121 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 3: which is not actually a box draft, is just trying 1122 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 3: to predict the exact team, the exact pick for every 1123 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 3: single quarterback. 1124 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 4: Okay, you know, how do the Seahawks want to invest? 1125 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 3: Okay, do the Vikings need a quarter to kind of 1126 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 3: going beyond just like, hey, you know, the Titians might 1127 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 3: take cam Ward. 1128 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 4: We're kind of trying to go to some of the 1129 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 4: late round guys. 1130 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 3: And so if you're a team that needs a QB 1131 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 3: two or you're just interested in where where Cayle mccorr is. 1132 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 4: Gonna go, it's a goodiece for you. Go check it out. 1133 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: Do you have a do you have a guy with 1134 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: the Giants yet? Are you still working on it? 1135 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 4: I put Shador at three to the Giants. 1136 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Giants with the Russ and with 1137 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 3: the Winston contracts, I think it's either they take a 1138 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 3: guy very early or they don't take a guy at all. 1139 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 3: And so if they're going to take a quarterback, I 1140 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 3: expected to be one of the top names of one 1141 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 3: of the top picks. We will say. I mean I 1142 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 3: I Giants are tough, tough, rutting up cracks. I'm sure 1143 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 3: you know, yeah they are. 1144 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 2: And by the way, I think that there are some 1145 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 2: things with Russ and Shadoor that are not completely dissimilar. 1146 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: By the way, in terms of how they do certain things. 1147 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 2: I think, you know, Chador is better middle of the field, 1148 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 2: Russ is more athletic. They both throw really high arching 1149 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 2: deep balls. I think they both hold the ball maybe 1150 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 2: a little bit more than they should. So I do 1151 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 2: think there are some things with those two guys that 1152 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 2: are little similar.
