9
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: off some of the guys here who are available. Yeah,

10
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of these guys were just on the

11
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: list that we did. Yeah, OK, I'm sure Trey Von Moorg,

12
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: Gregory Russou who was not on our list, but j C.

13
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: Horn was, Wow, Deevin Jenkins, Elijah Moore, Jalen Phillips, A

14
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Sante Samuel, Elijah Vera, Tucker, Savan Collins, Darius Tony, Dylan

15
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Radden's White, Davis, Samuel cos Me, Travis E. T I mean,

16
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys here available that we're on

17
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: our list. Let's take a look at the trades. Quick

18
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: question for you, and I think we just answered this

19
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: when we did our list. You'd take Horn over all

20
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: the tackles that aren't the top three, right, I think so, yeah,

21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: I think so Yeah. Horn versus daven Collins would be

22
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: a night conversation. And I think we both had I

23
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: think I had horn above them. I think we had

24
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: horn above them, both of us. Yeah. But again, that's

25
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: it's not a huge right, right, right, And you can

26
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: make an argument both ways. Uh. So the Saints are

27
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: on the phone their next pick is and the Lions

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: with pick forty one on the phone. We want to

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: deal with the Saints. There's so many good guys on

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: the board. I'd love to go back to. Yeah, we

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: want to we want to talk to the Saints here.

32
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: So they have eight one oh five, one thirty three. Uh,

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: they're sixty off. I might be thrown. Yeah, so obviously

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna give up twenty four and they're gonna give

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: up twenty eight. Um, we want sixty if we can

36
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, you wanna try that straight up. They're

37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna say no, but we're offering Yeah, Okay, they said no, Okay, okay,

38
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: give him a fifth. Let's try let's try our throwing

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: in our seven. Okay, if that works, bingo, that was enough. Yeah, Okay,

40
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: still figure three picks in the top sixty. Absolutely get

41
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: twenty and sixty, and so we'll resume the draft here.

42
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: A couple of those guys are gonna go the the picks.

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: They used that pick on Jalen Phillips. That makes some sense.

44
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: I guess they just lost Henderson Murig went to the Jaguars.

45
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: That makes that conversation. Louisier J C. Horn went to

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: the Browns, Elijah More to the Ravens. Elijah Mores might

47
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: be a first round pick. And on twenties, we're back

48
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: on the clock here. Jenkins still available as Sante Samuel

49
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: Elijah Vera Tuckers, Aven Collins still available, Dylan Raddon's, Samuel

50
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: cos Me, Alex Leatherway, Travis A t n See. I

51
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: think this, if we're true to our boards, comes down

52
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: to Zaven Collins verse running backs, and I think I

53
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: think we both had Collins rated ahead of the running backs.

54
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: Let's take a look here, Well, we got a couple.

55
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: We've got a couple more trade offers here the Jaguars

56
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: who have picked thirty three picks thirty three and forty

57
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: five along with sixty five, one, O six, one thirty

58
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: or on they wanted. They want this pick. The other

59
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: team that wants to pick is Seattle. They have fifty

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: pick fifty six. We're not interesting, Midge. But if the

61
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Jaguars wann't offer us thirty three for eight and they

62
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: have something around seventy about sixty five for that other

63
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: seven round draft pick, that we have that hard beat. Yeah,

64
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: let's see if they'll I think they said to that,

65
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: but they said, no, what if you may get a

66
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: fifth six, we go up to sixteen here instead, Let's

67
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: see if that gets it done. That got it done.

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: So we got We give up twenty eight and to

69
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: sixteen for thirty three and sixty five. That's a great trade, alright.

70
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: So now we've the other thing that we've done now

71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: is we've taken that fifth year option off the board

72
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: because we had the thing. We had the first pick

73
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: of the second round. So everybody that we take this

74
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: year is gonna get a four year contract. We don't

75
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about fifty franchise from there,

76
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: but you don't have to deal with the fifth year. Okay,

77
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: So top two guys available, Tevin Jenkins and Zavin Collins.

78
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: I would take Collins. I think we take. I think

79
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: we both had Collins right at ahead of him. My

80
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: one problem is, and we're being true to our board,

81
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: but I think we both know deep in the back

82
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: of our head the pro football focus has the running

83
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: backs really low that we know. I'm almost positive they'll

84
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: get one in this mock on this software with the

85
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: Steelers second round pick, which we both because I think

86
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: it's cheating. Well, here's the thing. We now have picks

87
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: thirty three, fifty five, sixty six, and eighty seven. If

88
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: we want to come up and get a guy we could.

89
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: At this point, none of the running backs have gone, right,

90
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: So well, let's see what happens. Let's let's take what

91
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: Collins is still available, right, I think that's a pig,

92
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: all right, pick his in saving Collins. Now, I expect

93
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: some of his running backs to go. Yes, Travis A

94
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: t n just went, We're back up on the clock. Uh.

95
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: The picts right ahead of us were Greg Newsom at one,

96
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Melon Fiwana at fifty two to the Bears, Landon Dickerson

97
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: at fifty three to the Titans, and Tyson Campbell at

98
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: fifty four to the Colts Corners. I would have considered

99
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: in his name the top guys available right now, jebral Cox.

100
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: We don't need him now. We just Tay Gowan, Leam Iikenburg,

101
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: Aaron rob Inson, Peyton Turner, Javonte Williams, Andre Cisco, Ronnie Perkins,

102
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: Justin Hilliard. Now, remind you we've got picked sixty and

103
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: sixty five coming up. So I think we have to

104
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: take the running back here, just so we don't cheat

105
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: the system a little bit. Yeah, I think I think

106
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: that they have. They have Javonte Williams rated fifty overall. Yeah,

107
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: they had a t M was like thirty four something

108
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: like that. Harris is gone, said, Harris is rated way

109
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: lower than that. They don't like him as much as

110
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: they like the other two. We like Harris better. Let's

111
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: take Carre OFSS. Well, if we're gonna do that, then

112
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: we wait and we don't know that. Well, then it

113
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: comes down to you. Okay, do you do you like?

114
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: We don't get to look at the board of everybody.

115
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: True enough, you know, if we're sitting in the Steelers

116
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: war room and fifty eight and Harris and Williams are

117
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: there and we both have Harris ahead him on our board,

118
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: we take Harris, right, Yeah, Okay, take Harrison. We're back

Speaker 1: Eagles on the phone was seventy. So either way we

127
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't move down a lot or much. And we've got

00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: fell A, Bobby Brown, Trill Williams, Marlin two up, uh

154
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: tak our boy, Trey Brown and carry Vincent. Uh yeah,

155
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: we take t Yeah, but let's take the corner here.

156
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: Though he's bigger. He actually came in there. They Live

157
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Everything listed him at five nine. He's almost five. He's

158
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: five ten or five nine and three quarters, so he's

159
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: almost he's almost five ten and he's eighty five pounds,

160
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: so he's a little Yeah. Alright, we're back up again

161
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: here and pick one the Bengals running phone. We don't

162
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: deal with you, Cincinnati, get out of here, all right.

163
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: Top guys available. Deante Smith interesting, he's a talented guy. Yeah,

164
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: I mean, but then you're keeping five tackles and you

165
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: get center tackle you don't need were Darius Williams, Pete Werner,

166
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: Baron Browning. Again, that's took one in the first round.

167
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: That's that that inside linebacker depth this ship. And I

168
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: guess that's an argument for not taking calls in the

169
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: first round to Faile, And maybe that's why he drops

170
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: a little bit because there are so many Bobby Brown,

171
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: Trill Williams, Richard Leconte, Robert Jones, Spencer Brown. Those first

172
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: two d tackles you mentioned are interesting to me. Um

173
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: and dude Brown, I mean here That is where we

174
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: get into that situation where you're what do you feel

175
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: like you need? Um? The line to me really stands

176
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: defensive line. You have an edge that's interest potentially tight

177
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: end in an edge, and we got three, we got

178
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: three picks left, you got we got one, we got one.

179
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: And what do you think you're gonna get or what's

180
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: going to be available? Because you're probably gonna have all

181
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: those guys rated. Sure, in the real world you probably

182
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: have one or two more veterans signed, and that's more clear.

183
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna call up the defensive end arier, the

184
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: tight ends in the edge, and see what we got

185
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: here in defense of interior edge. And you're looking at

186
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: to feile out of USC. That's pretty interesting to me.

187
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: I think we've ever drafted him. I don't think we

188
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: have either a good player, Bobby Brown, He's one of

189
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: my faves, Chris Chris Rump, Okay, Hunter Long, I don't

190
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: long Patrick Johnson, Milton Williams. I bet some people who

191
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: love the Twyman. Oh, I get a lot of questions

192
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, what about Twyman? Why why don't they

193
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: draft Twyman? Milt Williams is available, Uh, Kobe Whiteside at

194
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: the Missouri. What's our next pick? We have? We have

195
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: this is one, we have another pick. At one fort

196
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: there was like four D tackles that I kind of liked.

197
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: I think there's one tight end. I take Long. Yeah.

198
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: Instead of to make a decision between the D tackles

199
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: who probably get one soon, you, let's take Hunter Long. Okay,

200
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: how how long is the pick? And we're back up

201
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: the defensive interiors And now we're down to defensive interior

202
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: and edge and the guys available Bobby Brown, Chris Rump,

203
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Johnson, Jaylen Twyland, Twinman. I should say Milton Williams,

204
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: let's take one of those three. Brown would be my

205
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: pick um, But I'm not standing on the table for him.

206
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: Milton Williams is intriguing. He's a super athlete. For people

207
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: who don't know. You can bring him along sort of slowly.

208
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: He's not knows this at all. But I don't know that.

209
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that Twyman or Brown are though either Brown's.

210
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: Brown is probably the closest thing to that. But does

211
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: he give you what you want? I like the upside

212
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: of Williams coach him up. Learned from Cam and company.

213
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: We could punt on this. And the Jets are on

214
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: the phone. They want they got one pick, they got

215
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: picked one forty six, and they want to make a trade.

216
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: What number we are now we're at fine, let's get

217
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: a future pick. Okay, Uh, they're offering they got one

218
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: forty six and one fifty four. We've got one. Let's

219
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: get rid of we can get rid of forty five

220
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: and get one six. Let's do that, yeah, without questions.

221
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: And they accepted, and we'll resume the draft. So okay,

222
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: so the picks. Then after that they moved up to

223
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: take Jonathan Adams wide receiver out of actually or somewhere,

224
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: carry Vincent went, kJ Stevenson, Jalen Twyman, Chuba Hubbard, Trull Williams.

225
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: And we are back up again. Bobby Brown is still

226
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: sitting there, and so is Williams. So is Williams your call?

227
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: I've really like I don't have to question his motor No,

228
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: I mean he may even help on special teams, right, No,

229
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: I like him. Let's take him and we get another

230
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: pick coming up. We can get our edge. Now that's

231
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: not a bad spot to be. So the picks are

232
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: rolling off here we're almost up to the spot and

233
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: that Yeah, that one easy. That that's the second pick

234
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: around two. What do you mean the pick six was

235
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: the second selection in around around six, I should say. So, yeah, okay,

236
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: we're back up here with the edge. Let's see what

237
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: we got. Jonathan Cooper out of Ohio State be fine, uh,

238
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: doom Aca out of a Duke turn Jackson out of

239
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: Coastal Carolina, Raymond Johnson out of Georgia Southern. Yeah, William

240
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Bradley King at a Baylor. That one's probably my pick

241
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: of those. You want that, Yeah, let's let's take all right, polished,

242
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: polished edge rusher. Would you be in the market for

243
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: the veteran there too? Yeah, but I think you can

244
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: get those guys just the body that, hey, you're gonna

245
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: line up and play ten snaps chick a loo or

246
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: better type. Yeah. Let's see what kind of grade they

247
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: gave us. Oh yeah, I forgot. They do grades. They

248
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: do grades. We get some criticism on Twitter, you guys

249
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: trade down too much and it probably is a little unrealistic.

250
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: You know, they're not going to have four trade downs

251
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: in the course of their draft. But live with it.

252
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: But we learn more names alright, alright, so our trade

253
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: in the first our first trade getting twenty eight and

254
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: sixty four and to fifty four beat They really don't

255
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: give as right, Yeah, the only way you get in

256
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: as if you take a quarter pick. Our trade of

257
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: thirty three and sixty five eight and two sixteen was

258
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: a B one. Uh Zaven Collins was a C plus. Okay,

259
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: Nausea Harris C plus. Creed Humphrey C plus. I guess

260
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: they're not tackles and quarterbacks and highly expensive positions. Liam

261
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: Likeichenberg was a C plus. Trey Brown take those top four.

262
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: Trey Brown was a B plus. About Hunter Long a

263
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: B plus. He could last that long. I mean there's

264
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: been times where people are like, no way Hunter Long

265
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: last that long. I mean he's not a superstar. No,

266
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: he's a solid number two tight ends. Uh. Milton Williams

267
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: was a C plus. Nice. The trade we made were

268
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: with the Jets was a B minus. That was great trade.

269
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: William Bradley King was a C plus. Overall our grade

270
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: was a B m. It like we got a lot

271
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: of seas there, but fair enough. Final results are the leaderboard.

272
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: They rank everybody's draft. Um we ranked according to them.

273
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: Twenty five on the draft. I would gladly take that.

274
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: I would trade every Steeler pick that they own right

275
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: now for those player exactly what we got. Yeah, question,

276
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: But if you look at this, they get the teams

277
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: that they gave. They gave eight A's Jacksonville Jets, the Falcons,

278
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: the Panthers, the Patriots, the quarter they all they're all

279
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: teams that took quarterbacks. That's just the way their their

280
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: brads work. That's fine, It doesn't if we could have

281
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: we probably get an A if we take Kellen Mond

282
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: in the sixth round or whatever, you know, something like that.

283
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: Shane Bouchell, Right. I guess that's just the way their

284
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: software works. And I can understand the argument of hey,

285
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: don't pay Hub for centers and linebackers and running backs.

286
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: We get corners and tackles and whatnot. That's fine, But

287
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: if you don't have one depends on the team these right. Yeah,

288
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: you can't just look at the thing. This doesn't happen

289
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. Right. If you can give me Naj

290
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: Harris in the fifty neighborhood, I'm gonna take them every day. Yeah,

291
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean I might take two absolutely. I mean, you know, again,

292
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: I was torn when I put that list together. Last name, Okay,

293
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: I love Jevonte Williams love him. Which one would I

294
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: take if if both are available at four and the

295
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: rest of those guys are gone, like, probably probably take

296
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: her again. I know what Harris is, more what he is,

297
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: and I've seen him well. I do believe that Williams

298
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: can handle that kind of workload. Oh I do too.

299
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: He hasn't. He just hasn't done it, hasn't done until

300
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: this quite the same degree. Um, not quite as good

301
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: as accomplished receiver. I mean, I need a guy right now.

302
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: Not that Williams is a project, but I need a

303
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: dude that I can carry that that might be Rookie

304
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: of the Year and I need to carry the ball

305
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot. You know, I went this guy to a

306
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: rack of four. He's done that, and he's done that

307
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: this year. Whereas with Williams, it's, you know, I think

308
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: he can do it. I'm I'm pretty damn sure he

309
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: can do it, but I just haven't seen him do

310
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: it yet. That's that's right question. So you know, six one,

311
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: I would be more than happy with either one of

312
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: those guys without a question. Yeah, and ideally if you

313
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: could get a little sweetener on the trade back and land.

314
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: Either one is great, but I mean again, I don't

315
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: know how realistic that is. But boy, they both be

316
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: really good steelers. Yeah, I think so. And I mean

317
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: I've warmed up. I mean, I know when the whole

318
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: process started, Um, people were asking, you know, what about

319
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: what about Zavon Collins? Did you take it? And I'm like,

320
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a but they've filled a

321
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: few more needs since that doesn't look as desperate. Yeah, yeah,

322
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: I mean he would be a nice addition, there's no

323
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: question about it. Um. I still am not a d

324
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: percent sure that they can afford that luxury because I

325
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: do think job number one has to be get this

326
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: running game going. But boy, he fits what they need

327
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: and when we mock it up, the other positions are

328
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: pretty available on day two. Yeah, that's good. That's the

329
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: other thing that you know, I actually wrote a piece

330
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: up on that little prep thing that we did today. Um.

331
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: I just said, you know, if I put the US together,

332
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: might as well put it out on the on the website. Um.

333
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that I explained there.

334
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: Like some you know, if you look at some of

335
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: the the experts out there may have some of these

336
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: guys rated to hire them. Where you know the running

337
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: backs for example, but you have to balance in, you

338
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: have to factor in, Okay, what kind of depth is

339
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: there at this position? Can I get a linebacker for example,

340
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: later than you can tackle center linebacker? The day two

341
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: options look pretty darn solid for the style of And

342
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: we've been saying that all along about that particution that

343
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: position in particular, like, well you can get get those

344
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: guys like I wish I liked Sermon better, or you know,

345
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: one of those round three backs and maybe I'm wrong

346
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: on them, Maybe I need to watch him in particular

347
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more, um because ideally I don't love

348
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: using a first round pick on running backs. But you

349
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: sent me something this weekend too. If you look at

350
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: the thousand yard rushers, and I forget how many years

351
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: are you were referencing, if it goes back to two thousand,

352
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean a high percentage or high picks, which isn't

353
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: totally unexpected, But there's a misnomer that what does pick

354
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: up Priest Holmes is an undrafted free agent and have

355
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: put in the Hall of Fame. Here the stats and

356
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: this was done by four for four dot com before

357
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: we have to go here. Okay, since two thousand, a

358
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: running back is rushed for over a thousand yards in

359
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: a season three eleven times. The breakdown on that guys

360
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: taken in round one have done it a hundred and

361
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: forty two times. That's like half. Guys taken him round

362
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: two have done it sixty three times. So of the

363
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: of the three hundred eleven, sixty six percent of those

364
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: have come in the first two rounds. That's two out

365
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: of every three. Add in the round three guys another

366
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: forty four. Now you're up to eight. It's pretty much

367
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: of the thousand yards seasons have come from guys taken

368
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: in the first three rounds fifteen and round four, eight,

369
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: and round five, seven and round six, eight, in round

370
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: seven and twenty four undrafted guys and undrafted is a

371
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: big pool. And that's not just guys who've done that's time.

372
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: That's times it has happened, like Frank Gore counts many times.

373
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: Robinson this year is one of those Okay, you did

374
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: it once. Those undrafted guys did it once. Are they

375
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: consistently doing it over and over and over again? Probably not?

376
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a twenty year stretch and if you

377
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: bring how many undrafted guys they bring to camp, it's

378
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: about thirty. Actually, yeah, it's there's a lot more of

379
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: those than seventh round picks in the league. Yeah, I

380
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: mean that number should be kind of high, But that

381
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can you can get one or you will.

382
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: It's just to me, it shows that it's you know,

383
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: when you take of the thousand yard seasons have come

384
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: from guys taken in the first three rounds, tells me

385
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: you don't. Yeah, you can get guys in those later

386
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: rounds that can do it, but a can they do it?

387
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: Can they do it? Year after year? History shows that

388
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen, and by it might happen once. But

389
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you've solved your running back problem. Good point.

390
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: Good point. I mean, you've got a guy who who

391
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: had a good season. There's a reason why they played

392
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: sixteen games and didn't get hurt much competition, they've never again.

393
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: That That was kind of when I started looking at

394
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: the Javonte Williams saying, I'm like, okay, that tells me

395
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: that that, yeah, you you can have a guy that hey,

396
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: the first first time he's ever gotten two carries in

397
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: his career. He has a thousand yards season. Can you

398
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: do it again? Can you handle that work? Like? I mean,

399
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: there is that Bellqueu mentality that the Peyton's and Emmetts

400
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: and those guys have when everyone knows and you're closing

401
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: out games, and that's a little different. I'm getting twenty

402
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: times a game every week, seventeen seventeen games now instead

403
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: of sixteen, right, and hopefully playoffs all those things. You

404
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: do know, Harris's Donna, we need to tell a little

405
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: bit we I know, we talked about it a little

406
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: bit um a couple of months ago. When they go

407
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: to seventeen games, you need to get does your why

408
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: does your running back room keep an extra guy? You

409
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: better keep more running backs? They take a beating. You're right,

410
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: maybe you use a a committee mentality a little bit

411
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: more too, But if you really want Snell to play snaps,

412
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: you're playing fifteen or whatever, a little step to be

413
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: a little more judicious with it, because you know, you

414
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: don't you know, a guy average just twenty carries a

415
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 1: game for seventeen games, touches and three and forty carries.

416
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: That's that's way too much too much. Yeah, that's a

417
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: good point. So anyways, that's gonna do it for this show.

418
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: But I thought that that graphic was interesting. It's nice

419
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: to them again. That was off of four for for

420
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: dot com. Uh there's it's a Fantasy of Football site.

421
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: But they put us some good Yeah. So anyways, but

422
