1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly, he is Matt

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Williamson and Matt it is time to uh, we'll find

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: a go find a mock draft and go through that

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: here as we get ready and well as it happens,

7
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Tom McShay did his post Super Bowl mock draft here

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: on ESPN, So I thought we'd go through that one.

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: See who the he has a Steelers pick taking and

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: all that good stuff, and so yeah, we to forget this,

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: but let's try to remember at the end who we

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: would take a thirty two Yeah, okay, alright, come people

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter have asked me to do that, and I

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: think it's a kind of good idea. Yeah. Uh so

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: he has a trade up. Is the Colts trading up

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: to number one to take Bryce Young with Chicago? Okay? Yeah,

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: so the Bears with them move back to four, which

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna take a haul. That might you gotta eat

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: to move up to one from four. You probably have

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: to give up next year's first round draft pick. I

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: bet you do. But this is the perfect scenario for

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: the Bears, because you have to assume another quarterback is

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: going to go, and then you just take maybe the

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: guy taking one right to jump from two to one.

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: If you're the Texans, you probably don't have to give

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: up that, but anybody else beyond that, For anybody to

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: want to jump ahead of the Texans to take a quarterback,

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna have to give up next year's one.

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: I think you're probably right. If the Bears could move

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: the two and then move the four, that would be

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: kind of interesting, right. Uh. They then have the Texas

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: taking c J. Stroud or mcshae has the Texas taking

33
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: c J. Stroud at number two, Okay, which then I'm

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: dreading doing our quarterback top five. I don't know what

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: to order to put these guys in. Yeah, I have

36
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: to watch some more film. Um, I've doubts about all

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: of them. Right three, the Cardinal Zen take Will Anderson, okay,

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: the outside linebacker from Alabama. The Bears then at four

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: take Jalen Carter, who they probably would take it one

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: if they stay there. So that's a win win win

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: win win all the way around. And if you get

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: the Colt's first rounder next year and maybe a third

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: this year thrown in or whatever, like okay, yeah, now

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: you're in business. Uh. If five Seattle then takes Tyree Wilson,

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the defensive end from Texas Tech, so I think we

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: all should concede. Maybe it's not those two courts, maybe

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: it's not the troud but the top four pretty set

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks to those two defensive players. Yeah, I might

49
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: be the hotspot though. You know, if I'm Seattle and

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: I decided I'm not taking a quarterback here, that could

51
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: be where Carolina trades up for the right you know

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 1: what I mean. That could be Levis or you know, yeah,

53
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: or even Detroit. I mean Detroit. If if Seattle would

54
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: happen to take a quarterback and then somebody else's I

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: gotta go get the next one, then six in play. Uh.

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: He is a different name at six for the Lions.

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: He hasn't picking Miles Murphy, the defensive endeta Clemson. It's

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: that I think he's a lot like Trayvon Walker was

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: the first pick last year. Seattle Troit are kind of

60
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: in the same boat where starting to build something. I

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: assumed Gino will be back. They couldn't take a quarterback.

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: They have two first front picks. You know, so Seattle

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: and Detroit or they can at least play the game

64
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: that we're sniffing a quarterback At five or six. Oh yeah,

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: you can convince other teams of that and then you know,

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: sending that those smoke signals. Uh yeah. Seven the Raiders

67
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: take Will Levis, the quarterback out of Kentucky. I think

68
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: they have They have to move up a spot to

69
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: get that done. He's really injured last year. I didn't

70
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: realize how many injuries he was dealing with. Eight The

71
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Falcon steak Pete Scornski, the offensive tackle on the Northwestern Okay,

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if they let McGarry go the

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: right tackle, but he's a free agent. At nine, the

74
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: Panthers take Anthony Richardson, the quarterback out of Florida. With

75
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: a new coach, I think you can do this, you know,

76
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Brissett and Richardson, Donald and Richardson, you know, something like that.

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: I definitely think they'll have it. You know, they have

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: to with if Richardson is a guy, they have to

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: have a veteran in place. M hmm. Do you think

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: Richardson last all? Nine? I could? I mean, because these

81
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: other guys after after Anderson and Carter. The defensive players

82
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: or the non quarterbacks are good, but they're not amazing.

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, Galen Wattle over any of those guys or

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, people that usually got into top ten. So

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: it makes me think Richardson and Levis could all go

86
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: in the top seven. Richardson, I want to see what

87
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: his pro day looks like. I want to see, you know,

88
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: at the combine. How does he throw the football? How

89
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: does he look? I know he can throw the football

90
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: right right right? What's his touch look like? Yeah? You know,

91
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: and how are his interviews? You know, does he does

92
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: he pick up the you know, is he is? He's

93
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: sharp enough to pick the game up because watching him,

94
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: he can make all the throws. Oh, he's unbelievably gifted

95
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: a huge arm. But I just think he's a little

96
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: immature in terms of game progression at this point in

97
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: his career. Oh incredibly Yeah. I mean it's like I

98
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: get what he's coming out. He's gonna be he's gonna

99
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: be a first round draft pick. But he's definitely a

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: guy that could have used another year of starting experience. Oh,

101
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: no question. And he's a bigger version of Willis, But

102
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: he's in the SEC at Florida, and he's not at

103
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: a tiny school too, you know. Yeah, but really just

104
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: one year as a starter, right right, right, So, I

105
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: mean there's there's some polish. It needs to needs to happen.

106
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 1: Landing spots can be incredibly important for him, without a doubt.

107
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: At ten, the Eagles take Brian Barresi, the defensive tackle

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: at Clemson, and that makes some sense I get. And

109
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: he's one of the guys. I mean, we talked about

110
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: him in the first segment. If you're the Steelers, do

111
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: you pass on a Brian Barresi. But he's also a

112
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: guy that the medicals are going to make up you know,

113
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: a huge part of this. He's talented, he's a really

114
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: good player and dealers extremely well. Reminds me a cam

115
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: a lot um. The Eagles that have four defensive tackles

116
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: hitting free agency, right, Cox, Hargrave, Sue and the other Linnville. Yeah,

117
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal. Yeah, that's hard to replace.

118
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: At eleven, the Titans stake Paris Johnson Jr. That's fine

119
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: by me. Yeah, that's up. That's their first second offensive tackle,

120
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: I should say. A twelve, Houston takes Quintin Johnston, the

121
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver from TCU. Okay, a lot of people, a

122
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: lot of marks we've talked about, have quarterback and then

123
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: go get him a wide receiver. Let them grow up together.

124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: I'm kind of dreading ranking the wide receivers too, and

125
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: I kind of actually I have him and to pull

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: back the curtain. That's who I mocked to Houston is it?

127
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: And the reason being, he's a big receiver and you

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: help your you help your young quarterback out by getting

129
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: him a big target. M not one of these little

130
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: beep beep guys that Okay, well, you know he's no

131
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: Give him somebody who has a catch radius about the

132
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: size of Minnesota. Yeah, he can really run his ball

133
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: skills and drops are a problem. But he's different than

134
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: the others. There's a lot of them to look like

135
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison. There's not any that look like Quinton Johnston. Thirteen,

136
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: the Jets take Roderick Jones, the offensive tackle. What at Georgia? Okay,

137
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: I just saw here in the mock Beckton's played one

138
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: game since his rookie year. Hard to believe. Yeah, Vera

139
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: Tucker is coming back, but he's a guard. At fourteen,

140
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots take Joey Porter Jr. Out of Penn State.

141
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: Imagine that. Yeah, I mean they like physical corners. I

142
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: want to see I want to see Joey Porter show up, Senior.

143
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm talking Joey Porter, Senior, go and show up at

144
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Foxboro on a consistent basis to watch the Patriots play.

145
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: I would actually if the Hopeways pay money to see that.

146
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: I hope this happens. Yeah, I don't see Hive Belichick

147
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: a big hug on draft Day. Yeah, that's funny stuff.

148
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: The Packers take Michael Mayer, the tight end at a

149
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. It's not what they do, but that's fine

150
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: by me. I mean that would be a fantastic addition

151
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: for them. Sixteen, the Commanders take Devin Weatherspoon, the cornerback

152
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: out of Illinois. Surprisingly, they don't have a ton of needs,

153
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they could kind of go.

154
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Would be one that you know, Yeah, I mean, you

155
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: can always have the old line. They could lose their

156
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: on pain. That leaves at seventeen for the Steelers. Christian Gonzalez,

157
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: the cornerback out of Oregon. Todd, you're a good dude,

158
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: but I think you're being too kind. I don't think

159
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: he I don't think sixteen teams passed on him, especially

160
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 1: after the combine. Can you argue with any of that

161
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: picks ahead of this though? No? No, And I can

162
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: see someone liking Porter or Witherspoon better. I mean, I

163
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: get that, but I think he will be my corner one.

164
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: When we do rankings, he probably will be mine as well.

165
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: But I could see other teams liking the other two guys.

166
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: Porter and Witherspoon are more um aggressive and maybe better

167
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: helping with the run a little bit. I don't know

168
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: that Gonzalez is that kind of guy, but I think

169
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: in terms of coverage guys, I think he might be

170
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: the number one cover guy. So you know, it depends

171
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: on what you're looking for. Yeah. And again, even if

172
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: I like him better than Porter or Witherspoon, he could

173
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: fall because the Patriots just he could be second on

174
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots board, second on the Commander's board. Right. This

175
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: happened to be the one that they're they take out.

176
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: The key though, is those four quarterbacks going ahead of

177
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: this pick? Yeah, and I think that's a done deal. Yeah,

178
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: So if I mean, if you're a Steeler fan, that's

179
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: what you want. He actually, if a fifth guy could

180
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: work his way into that conversation. I don't think that

181
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: that's in the cards. At eighteen, the Lions and take

182
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: Kayleie Ringo, the cornerback at A Georgia. I'm trying to

183
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: think they took him the first one. I thought they

184
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: took a corner already they took they did not. They

185
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: took Miles Murphy. Okay, yeah, it's gonuld be a defensive

186
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: draft for them. Yeah. At nineteen, the Buccaneers take Lucas

187
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: van Ness, the defensive end out of Iowa. M that's

188
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: the Pierre Paul try On big body d ns they like,

189
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: They like those bangers. Yeah, that's twenty. The Seahawks take

190
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Brian Branch. He's the guy, the other guy. If things

191
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: fell this way, picking between Christian and Zalis and Brian

192
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: Branch will be tough. It wouldn't be for me, but

193
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: I would take I would take Gonzalez because he's corner.

194
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's your premium position. But I really like

195
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: Brian Branch, like I would have equal grades on them,

196
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: but Gonzales does. The Steelers are worth at right now,

197
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think Brian Branch is gonna

198
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: be a star. Yeah, no, you convinced me on that too.

199
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks getting him at twenty is a

200
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: steel Yes, all right, that's a really good pick. At

201
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: twenty one, the Chargers take Campa Smith. So how about that?

202
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: So you have what one defensive back in the first

203
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: what fourteen picks? No? There was there wasn't one taken

204
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: until pick fourteen, and then picks fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,

205
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: and twenty one or cornerback or defensive backs? Wow? And

206
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: I bet they'll be if this, If this is how

207
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: it went, another dozen in the top fifty, Yeah, without

208
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: a doubt. Yeah, so can Smith to the Chargers? But

209
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: John Robinson goes to the Ravens at two. I could

210
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: see this, who know? I mean there, I think it

211
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: almost has to be a receiver. But I was listening

212
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: to the First Draft podcast with Todd and mel and

213
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: they were breaking this down and meld just jumped all

214
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: over him because mel is one of those guys that's

215
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: huge no running backs in the first round and the

216
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Ravens are his team. So they were joking that Todd

217
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: just did this to piss mel Off, and thought kind

218
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: of chuckled, like across my mind, Well, I mean what

219
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: we don't know is, you know, with the new offensive

220
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: coordinator there, what's just gonna look like for them? I

221
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: think we'll get an idea during free agency. We'll see

222
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: what happens to Lamar first. It's gonna look different no

223
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: matter what. Like, I don't think you're gonna see Patrick

224
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Ricard out there for fifty snaps anymore. And three tight

225
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: ends like they're not gonna draft another sight end. Die,

226
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a receiver. You know, it's gonna be

227
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: more traditional. But as Todd mentions here, j K. Dobbins

228
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: is one more year in his deal, right right right right.

229
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: At twenty three, the Vikings and take Jordan Addison. I

230
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: would really like that for them. I think one more weapon,

231
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: feeling his days are really numbered. You know you have Hawkinson,

232
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Jefferson and Addison. Now you're talking, but boy, how do

233
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: they pass on a corner with the way Floras want

234
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: to play defense? At twenty four, the Jaguars take Jackson

235
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: Smith in Jigiba. I do that locked on Dynasty podcast.

236
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: And last night we've we've been highlighting a rookie, you know,

237
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: a fantasy guy, and we didn't Smith Jigba last night.

238
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be my number one. Like I

239
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: think it was just holding against him that he really

240
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: played like eight snaps last year. So how do you

241
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: evaluate that season? I mean, the season before was unbelievably good.

242
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: I do have to question that Jaguars taking yet an

243
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: another wide receiver when they've got Christian Kirk, right, they

244
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: got Calvin Ridley who they traded for. Uh. Yeah, they

245
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: get all kinds of of guys that that can handle

246
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: that position. You know, I don't know if that's not

247
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: necessarily a need. I mean, day Jones and Kirk are

248
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: making big money and are gonna be back and both

249
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: were good. And yeah, at the Giants in takes a Flowers, okay, um.

250
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus has put their initial draft guide out.

251
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: He's their second receiver, and I can see that that's

252
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: crazy talk. Six The Cowboys tak O Cyrus Torrance and

253
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: that's a that's a cowboy type pic. Seven the Bills

254
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: take Jamir Gibbs taking it another bite off the running

255
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: back Cappitle. I mean they just he's kind of he's

256
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: James Cook, That's what said. I don't like the fit,

257
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: like if he was there, yeah, we you know, I

258
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: know I talked about the Dynasty Poll podcast we profiled

259
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: Gibbs too. Was the show after that. Boy is see

260
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: a receiver and dynamic, but he might not be two

261
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: hundred pounds. I mean, I mean he's he's basically a

262
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: little bit smaller version of James Cook. Right. Like if

263
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: I were the Bills, I'd rather have Mike al Stock,

264
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm Bettis the Bengals. Yeah,

265
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: the Bengal stake Dalton Kincaid, the tight end out of Utah.

266
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: I don't think Herst will be back, so that adds up,

267
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: but that makes some sense for them. Yeah, yeah, I

268
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: mean I would consider the tackle wood Oklahoma or Tennessee

269
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: or the big man from an Ohio State though too

270
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: right twenty nine, the Saint stake key On White, He's there,

271
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: play a guy. They like those king size ends and

272
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: Cam Jordan clone basically right exactly at thirty, the Eagles

273
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: take Anton Harrison, the offensive tackle out of Oklahoma. Okay,

274
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean they take Lineman Um. They're starting guards Suamolo.

275
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: I always destroy his name, but he's the worst starter.

276
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: He's a free agent. Maybe they'd kick a tackle into

277
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: guard until Lane Johnson retires. At thirty one, the Chiefs

278
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: take Jalen Duncan, the offensive tackle out of Maryland. Wow,

279
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: I've seen him. This is the highest I've seen him

280
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: go anywhere. But I've had some people think he's like

281
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: a third or fourth rounder. Yeah, you know, so okay,

282
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: So if that's the way things go. They got Gonzalez,

283
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: They got Gonzalez. Who are you taking both line the

284
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: top linebackers are there, you could get an edge you're

285
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: probably an not gonna take. You're not gonna take a

286
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: defensive tackle at thirty two? No, Um, some names that

287
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: come to mind? Those three tackles I mentioned, not well,

288
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: I guess the Oklahoma one just went right. Harrison just

289
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: went But I would think about Dawan Jones or I

290
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: always forget the Tennessee guy's name, although both those guys

291
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: are more right than the left. But I also don't

292
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: need him to play right away. I could teach him

293
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: to play left or whatever. Um that those would be

294
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: the guys I consider. You're saying Dwan Jones and Darnell

295
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: right those are Yeah, they would be on the radar.

296
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: What about Washington the tight end from Georgia. I'm not hated,

297
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm growing really fond of grabbing one of those five

298
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: tight ends, especially him, because if I can turn Gentry

299
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: into Washington and basically have all the same starters, otherwise

300
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: that is hard to play against. Yeah, I would consider

301
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: Derek call there. Okay, about Sanders off the ball, I

302
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: would consider I would consider him. Um, he didn't have

303
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: Elijah Cancy. Doesn't it for for what they want to do.

304
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: I can't take each other as I'm about say the

305
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: same thing, like if he's there in the next pick, Yeah,

306
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: that's different. That's different. Um, but Sanders or Simpson, maybe

307
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: Hyatt's potentially yeah, Um, you know, is that too early

308
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: for another? Safety? Antonio Johnson is a guy that a

309
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: lot of people have ring next. He's a He's a

310
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: true strong in the box safety. I mean, if you're

311
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: looking just to replace Terrell Edmans body for body, he's

312
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: probably the guy that does that the best. Let's say,

313
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: if if I mean, if if the draft rolls around

314
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: and you don't have a strong safety, I think you'd

315
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: be very happy to add him. Yeah. I bet they

316
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: have a strong safety though. Yeah, if I'm looking at

317
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: this from a different Okay, Um, may be at one

318
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: a kazy replacement and then maybe maybe then I'm looking

319
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: at a Jare Brown from Penn State or someone like that.

320
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: But I don't that might be too from those guys. Yeah,

321
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: you don't. We'll say this, over the last five or

322
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: six years, the Penn Steak guys have tested really well,

323
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: really well. So let's say JR. Brown goes to the

324
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: combine and runs a four three five mm hm oh yeah,

325
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: then we could be talking about him as he's he's

326
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: got no in the first using up the boards. I

327
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: know they don't need a corner. He takes the ball away. JayR.

328
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: Brown had like ten interceptions the last couple of year.

329
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Like them. I like them too. They're not gonna take

330
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: a corner in this scenario. But if they would have

331
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: went another position, I mean, Deante Banks is still available. Yeah, yeah,

332
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: you like these corners are pretty impressive. Well, it's a

333
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: really good group. Yeah, I mean, you know, Clark Phillips

334
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: would still be there, as you mentioned, Forbes is still there.

335
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's some guys there that. Okay, if

336
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: you didn't take the corner in the first round, you're

337
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: more than happy to take these guys in the second round. Yes,

338
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: last name I got for you, our buddy John Michael Smith,

339
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: John Michael Schmitt's he's the clear double. He's clear double.

340
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: All you're in charge. All those names you want, all

341
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: those names. I probably go again. We're this is without

342
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: seeing any pro days or seeing any numbers from I'll

343
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: take the double. I'll go John Michael Schmitt's. Are you okay?

344
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: That's I'll take the burden hand. I know exactly what

345
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: he is. Um, he's gonna he's gonna start for me

346
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: somewhere the next ten to twelve years. Yep, I love him.

347
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: Not good with this two pound tight end has me

348
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: really intrigued. This is such a deep tight end draft

349
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: though that I mean, honestly, if they moved back five

350
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: spots and picked up another third or fourth round draft pick,

351
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm perfectly happy with that too. Oh, absolutely absolutely so.

352
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm warming up the trading back from seventeen and

353
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: or thirty two. I think thirty two is a much See,

354
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: I want the premium draft pick again. If I'm staring

355
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: at Christian Gonzalez there, I'm taking Christian Gonzalez. I'm not

356
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: trading back. Um, you know, if if Breese's there, I'm

357
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: not trading back. If Branches there, I'm not trading black

358
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: hm um. But if all three are there, I'll go

359
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 1: to twenty right if I If I can, I'll move

360
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: back a couple of spots if I can. If I

361
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: can do that and get and make sure I get

362
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: one of those guys, I'm perfectly happy doing that. I'd

363
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: love to get a third out of the of the

364
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: mix or something like that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Uh,

365
