It's a whole 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.159 new Thursday edition of the Draft Show from our virtual 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:40.239 s WBC Mortgage Studios. Chris Beam running things at the 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.720 mothership back at the Star in Frisco. But we are 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.519 ready to break down one what has been really kind 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.400 of a crazy twelve hours for the NFL. As Urban 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.480 Meyer is back in the Fray as a head coach, 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.000 as he's going or at least finalizing a deal with 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.600 the Jacksonville Jaguars, who by the way, have the first 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:00.840 pick in the NFL Draft. Then Kelvin Moore apparently being 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.840 requested for an interview for the Philadelphia Eagles, and I'm 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.200 apparently broadcasting from the mountains now, which is something that 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.360 is different for all of us. But hey, it's the 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.000 official draft season and anything can happen, so we are 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.440 glad to be with you here on the Dallas Cowboys 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:19.800 dot Com Draft Show, Kyle Yeoman's, Dane Brugler, Jeff Kavanaugh, 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.240 and Kevin kat Turner with you as always this crew 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:27.120 every Thursday at ten am. But Dane, it really has 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.039 been a crazy couple of hours throughout the NFL and 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.400 really the college football season now in the rearview mirror. 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.399 It's crazy to think about. But hey, it's draft season officially. 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.800 I know you've been in draft season for quite some time, 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.920 we all have been, but officially for everyone, it's draft 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.600 season at this point with college football season now being 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.840 over with. Yeah, and it's an interesting point in the 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.280 year because there's a lot of hirings and firings going 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.320 on type of thing that will shape how Draft weekend 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:59.080 plays out. You know, both with the Cowboys and around 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:03.400 the NFL. You know these whether it's assistant coaches, head coaches, 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.880 you know, the new faces, the new names. That plays 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.200 a part in how the draft will play out. So 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.440 it's certainly something to pay attention to. Where only what 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.919 a week and a half away from the Senior Bowl, 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.480 we don't know what's gonna happen with the combine, so 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.480 there's still a lot up in the air with what 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.480 this draft season is going to look like. But it's 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.639 going to make that more challenging, but all the more 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.000 reason to kind of talk through it on this platform 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.919 and kind of have fun with it. Jeff, are you excited? 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.600 Is there a little extra excitement whenever it comes to 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.160 the fact that hey, there's you're kind of getting closer 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.519 to these big events like the Senior Bowl. Of course 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.240 the combines a bit on the horizon still, but is 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.360 there a little added emphasis and maybe even anxiousness for 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.920 you as a guy who covers the draft, but also 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.079 maybe even a little bit for these front offices. I Mean, 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.720 this year is just so much different. Like I don't 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.480 even know. I don't know what the Senior Bowl is 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.240 gonna look like. We don't know if they're just going 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.520 to be a line or what that's gonna look like. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.200 But yeah, it's always it's always fun. It's always exciting 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.400 to get closer to it because I think the Senior 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.160 Bowl it can be so important to players in terms 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.280 of if you're a small school guy and what you 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.000 can prove to NFL teams, or if you're considered a 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.600 third day of the draft guy and you're going up 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.720 against guys who are considered better than that and you 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.200 kick their butt all week. I always I love the 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.240 Senior Bowl. The Combine's great, but I love the Senior 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:27.960 Bowl because I think guys can make money at the 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.000 Senior Bowl. So I'm excited about that. Katie, you got 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.040 that anxiousness too a little bit with a crazy offseason 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.480 like this. You know, for me, I think it's more 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.880 in the realm of you know, draft season's always pretty 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.640 hot and heavy. It's it's when someone like a national 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:49.200 pundit like Dane Brugler ignores the no fireworks sign and 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.280 it's like, you know what, here's some snakes and sparklers 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.600 and black cats. Here's my mock draft too. Like that's 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.960 all you need is that's enough to get you to 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.320 get you going and get your juice's phone a little bit. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.120 So ye see it. You can't stop looking at it 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.560 and thinking about how you might do it, and maybe 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.880 you're doing mock draft simulators online and things like that. 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.040 That's to me where it kind of I get more 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.960 anxious for that. I guess I would say I'm more 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.360 of a day to day guy. Then what event is 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.920 going to happen in February? Because I don't know that's 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.960 a good point, and really that's probably the best way 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.120 to go about it. Right now in this offseason, it's 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.200 day to day whenever it comes to the draft process. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.520 But you mentioned Dane's mock draft. We're gonna get to 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.000 that coming up here in a little bit. We're gonna 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.600 talk about how Dane's mock draft on the Athletic You 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.440 should go and read it, look through all of it. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.640 Really fantastic work from Dan as always, but it did 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.719 provide a little bit of a spark and something that 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.480 was interesting, especially for the Cowboys. And we're gonna talk 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:45.680 about it in the moment, But I do want to 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.320 talk about the rumors surrounding kell and Moore, since we 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.880 are the first show for Dallas Cowboys dot Com that 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.120 has been on air since at least These rumors surfaced 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.240 about an hour and a half before we went live here. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.120 But Jeff, when it comes to the Cowboys and Kellen Moore, 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:00.960 I mean, this is a guy that last week or 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.919 two weeks ago we were talking about maybe taking the 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.960 Boise State job. He elects to stay here, gets an extension, 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.040 a big extension at that, and now he's apparently being rumored. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.599 If you're Kellen Moore, One do you go an interview 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.000 for the job? And two what should you feel like 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.800 if you're a Cowboys fan? Right now? I think there's 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.320 only so many opportunities to be a head coach in 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.320 the NFL, So if Kellen Moore has an opportunity to 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.160 interview for it, I would go take it. I couldn't 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.880 imagine that one the Eagles would actually offer their head 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.640 coaching job to somebody who would be a first time 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.719 head coach that's still kind of young as a coordinator. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.760 I couldn't imagine that they would actually offer him the job. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.680 And if I believe to myself and I was Kellen Moore, 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.720 I wouldn't want that job either, because I think the 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.400 Eagles opening is an absolute train wreck right now between 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.719 where they are with the cap all they're old guys 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.039 on that roster that are locked in for years, Like 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.000 I don't that you don't know who your quarterback is 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.200 or you're just hoping that Carson Wentz can become a 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.640 good quarterback again. So I think one the Eagles, I'd 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.280 be shocked if they didn't offer their job to somebody 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.800 with head coach experience or at least more coordinator experience. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.680 And two, if I'm Kellen Moore, I don't want that 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.720 job because I think it's a setup. I don't think 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:14.120 it's gonna go well. Catsey, Yeah no, No, there's two 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.000 answers because the important thing in the story is requested permission. 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.960 So there's two answers that the Jones family has. Number 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.440 one is nah, we're good, and then number two is 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.800 do you think Kellen we could send you on this 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:33.560 mission and you could find the deep dark secrets inside 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.240 the Philadelphia facility? Can you find out what Roseman and 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.839 Lurie are up to? It's more of that type of thing. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.440 If you send Kellen, you just don't let him have 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.120 that interview. He signed the contracts, so he's got to 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.240 get permission, you know, unless you want to look like 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.240 a good guy, say go chase your dreams and get 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.960 the job. But I feel like I feel like this 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.840 is it was a very odd thing to just come 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.120 up out of nowhere. I will say this though, Philadelphia 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:58.720 might just be the team. It's like, you know what, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.760 there's enough, there's an enough steam, smoke and steam around uh, 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.760 you know Kellen Moore, and in his future as a coach, 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.080 they might I think they might offer him the job 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.880 if they've got him in for an interview. I don't 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.560 know if he's their number one candidate, but I don't 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.000 think it's it's crazy to think that. But the answer 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.840 if you're the Cowboys is no, you're not going to 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.960 interview for that job. Would just sign you do a deal? Dude? Now, 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.040 since it's a head coaching job, it can't Kellen Moore 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.520 go on his own or is that a flip flop 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.480 if you are a head coach. I don't know the rules. Yeah, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.800 I don't think if they can't stop him. Yeah, coaching 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.840 job if it's a promotion like that. But and if 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.880 you're killing Moore, it's a good experience go in the interview. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.840 You know. I think if you're the Eagles, it makes 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.320 sense because you've seen what that offense has done with 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.640 Dak Prescott. Uh, you know, you know, Jalen Hurts might 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.560 be your future. There's some parallels there with those two quarterbacks. 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.960 Maybe you know, you can can learn some a few 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:57.040 things and so it's an interesting you know inner division, Uh, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.720 you know, relationship that is. I think, you know, if 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.360 you're Kellen Moore, you have to take you have to 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.760 go on that interview. I think it's good experience and 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.680 if you're the Eagles, you can get some information, so 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.840 it's an interesting dynamic. Yeah, I ended up the last 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.400 two minutes of what I said, and that's why I 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.120 did the draft. I don't know the coaching rules. That's okay, 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.040 that's how we roll here. But I think it is interesting. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.560 I mean, hey, maybe they're trying to steal Dak Prescott. 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.720 Not just hey, it's a thing about Jalen Hurts and 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.480 how he does line up with Dak Prescott. Maybe they're 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.400 trying to steal Dak. Who knows. We'll see how that 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.560 kind of ends up rolling. But I don't think it'll 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.679 ultimately turn into much. But I wouldn't be against Kellen 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.520 Moore at least going and interviewing. That's great experience and 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.440 a guy who, like you said, Jeff, initially, there's only 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.200 a certain amount of head coaching jobs and opportunities to 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:46.800 be a head coach. Why not take at least a 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.080 shot at one of them. Now, let's get into that 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.800 two round mock draft that Dane put out on the 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.800 Athletic CoA check it out as always, but starting things off, 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.160 we're gonna go through kind of the top nine and 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.840 talk through some of the highlights early on three quarterbacks 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.120 in the first four picks. Right up at the top, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.400 of course, Trevor Lawrence going number one overall to Clemson 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.959 or excuse me, to Jacksonville out of Clemson. Then you've 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.440 got the Jets taking Zach Wilson, the quarterback out of BYU. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.040 DeVante Smith is the first wide receiver and non quarterback 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.760 off the board. He goes to the Miami Dolphins at three. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.880 Fields from Ohio State goes to the Falcons, and then 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.360 it goes sewel Jamar Chase to the Eagles at six, 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.560 Micah Parsons to the Lyons at seven. Carolina takes Trey 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.840 Lance the fourth quarterback off the board, and then the 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:36.320 Denver Broncos steel Klea Farley at nine, right before the 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.720 Cowboys go at ten. But Dane, I want you to 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.640 introduce the Cowboys pick at number ten in your mock 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.640 draft because I think it's one that's very interesting and 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:50.240 an intriguing thought process. Whenever that day in April comes around, well, 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.760 of course, Cowboys fans were unanimous in their love for 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:57.640 this pick. No, actually they weren't. I went with Reshaun 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:02.640 Slater offensive town call Northwestern, and you know, I first off, 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.800 I want to say, look mock drafts, especially now in January. 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.600 It's about scenarios. It's not about this is who they're 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.240 absolutely going to take or they should take. It's about 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.080 laying out the scenarios. And when you look at the 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.720 Cowboys I think Rashawn Slater is the perfect fit for 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:18.920 what they need. He's a guy that can step in 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.400 play guard right away. He can step in play left tackle, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.720 right tackle. It gives you a long term plan for 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.640 life after tyring a left tackle, so you have so 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.000 much position flexibility, and I feel like that it gets 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:35.000 thrown around a lot. He has realistic position versatility where 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.840 he can play tackle or a guard and they're just 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.000 he can step in from day one. He's NFL already 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.440 technique wise, timing wise, discipline wise. So I think there's 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.120 a lot going for Rashawn Slater that where you plug 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.439 him into that offensive line and that fixes a lot 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.560 of issues. Now, there are some Cowboys fans that will say, well, 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.320 if it's not defense, I don't want to hear about it. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:55.880 You know, it just it doesn't make any sense. And 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.560 I get that something I'll say in defense of the pick, 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.760 is it's not easy to find offensive lineman outside the 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:07.200 first round. I think it's a lot easier to find linebackers, 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.400 even a corner Trevon Diggs last year. I think it's 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.360 easier to find guys in the secondary. It's easier on 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.200 day two compared to an offensive lineman, especially a premier 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.480 offensive lineman. So I think there'll be a lot of 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.800 Cowboys fans that would balk at picking Slater, especially over 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.760 a Gila Certan out of Alabama. But I think that 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.400 it's at least a conversation that the Cowboys need to 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.719 have in terms of impact potential for how they can 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.520 help this offense and gives them a plan for how 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:39.280 to attack the defense on day two. I think it 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.000 makes a lot of sense. But Jeff, whenever there's a 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.320 guy like certain on the board, you have every dt 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.920 on the board, and there's guys like that, how much 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.600 poudse does he give you going with the offensive side 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.120 of the football, or does this pick make that much 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.360 sense in order to make it a reality if it 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.960 were to come to fruition. To me, it makes all 0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.920 the sense in the world. So I have no hesitation 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.560 if they were to make a pick like that, even 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.080 with the board looking exactly like it did, because I 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.120 was looking at this the other day. You're still counting 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.679 on on the Cowboys offensive line. We talk about everything 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.920 that's invested in it, but the guys who are still 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.280 carrying your offensive line were drafted in the twenty eleven 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:21.960 and the twenty fourteen draft, so a decade ago and 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.319 seven years ago that Zack Martin and Tyron Smith. If 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.000 you have the opportunity in the top ten to pick 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:28.520 a guy that you love that's going to be a 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.040 part of extending the run of having a really good 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.800 offensive line, then you pick him. If you think Rashawn 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.199 Slater is a better prospect than Patrick Curtain, then you 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.200 pick him. If you think Patrick Curtan is a better 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.160 prospect than Rashawn Slater, then you pick him. You know 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.640 I would just pick Look, you're in the top ten, 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.600 don't screw the pickup. Whichever guy you think is a 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.760 better player, they're going to help your team. They're going 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.560 to get on the field, they're going to play. In 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.760 Curtan's case, it would be as a starter, as a corner. 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.600 In Slater's case, it would be as a starter at 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.880 either left guard or left tackle or wherever. So you know, 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.600 you pick the best player. I get it. You want defense. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:11.000 There's also trading, there's free agency, there's six more rounds 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.559 in the draft. You pick the best player. You're in 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.960 the top ten. And I agree with Jeff. Look at 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.320 a couple of things. Tyrant has missed multiple games the 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.360 last few years, and the type of injury he has 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.760 is a little jarring Lyle Collins obviously the type of 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.680 injury he has with a hip. I don't like hip 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.680 injuries on my offensive tackles, right, So that's something to 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.640 keep in mind. I think another thing to keep in 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.800 mind that I liked what Dane did with this scenario 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.280 is there's two good things that happened here. There's one 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.360 at one of two things that happened here. When you're 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:47.000 picking at ten, and this case, four quarterbacks go before 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.760 pick ten, pushing position players down. The thing that might 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.440 be more alluring, and I know it is to captain 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.920 trade down, would be if maybe that fourth quarterback made 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.480 it to ten. Because man, I was looking at the 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:04.959 fourteen playoff teams, men four of them might need new quarterbacks. Colts, Steelers, 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:10.400 maybe Washington, Chicago, I mean, there are teams who are 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.360 picking nineteen and up, and that's without looking at eleven 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.719 to eighteen. There are teams picking nineteen and up who 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.360 might want to get up to ten and start developing 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.320 Trey Lance or if it fields folds or whatever happens there. 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:27.200 So having that quarterback stay could be beneficial to the Cowboys. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.960 But overall, I do not disagree. I think the Cowboys 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.360 front office two might have a little bit of I 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.520 don't want to say Connor Williams regret, because it's not 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.400 Connor Williams as a bust, but comparatively to their first 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:42.400 round hits, that's a pretty recent thing in their head, like, hey, 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.800 the second round or we drafted he's okay, but man, 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.480 what if we knocked out a really good top flight 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.000 officsive Ironman at ten. It's something I think this front 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:55.080 office might think about. Where do you guys feel about 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.160 about Rashaun Slater and what he brings as a prospect, Dame, 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.160 because I know there's a lot of tackles that are 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.800 kind of in that second round prospect kind of like 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.000 maybe what we saw from Connor Williams, And I don't 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.240 want to bring up Texas just for the fact of 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.600 bringing up Texas. But there is a guy like Samuel 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.120 Kazmi that'll probably be there in the second I mean 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:17.040 Jalen Mayfield for Michigan, Christian derris Off for Virginia Tech, 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.160 who's a pretty solid tackle that I know we've already 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.720 talked about on this show. There are other tackles, But 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:27.000 why Slater above all of those guys up at number ten? Well, 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.080 and like I stated earlier, I think that it's just 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.040 easier to find tackles in the first I mean, if 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.400 you're hoping one of those tackles falls in the second, 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.640 I mean, maybe they will, but I mean there's a 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.600 reason they fell that far, you know, and so many 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.800 teams are tackle starved in the league, and so there's 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.120 a reason they're available in the second round, and that 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.040 should give you a little bit of pause. But I 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.680 think when you specifically a Rishawn Slater, I mean when 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.120 you break down his tape and you know he doesn't 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.280 have that elite size, but he's agile, he's stout, he's 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.600 power packed, he doesn't allow rushers to go through him. 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.560 He's very What I love most about Rashaan Slater is 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.480 he is so quick to lock up pass rushers before 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.640 they can do anything, before they can set up their moves, 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.680 so he doesn't stray from his fundamentals. He's smart, technically sound. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.080 I just everything says that this guy's a future starter. Enough, 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.680 he's gonna get digging throughout the process because his arms 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.360 are going to be about thirty two and three quarters 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.760 and so he's gonna not hit that thirty three inch 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.000 threshold that a lot of teams have. But you know, 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.160 when you watch his film, you can't help but think. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.120 You know he can overcome that, no problem. And plus 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.320 you get the factor you're going up against Chase Young 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.240 twice a year. We saw Rashaan Slater go up against 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.560 Chase Young last year in Ohio State faced Northwestern and 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.360 turned out Slater was the only tackle that could on 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.160 the college level that could even remotely slow him down. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.600 So that has to give you a little bit of 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:55.280 optimism moving forward. I love that pick, but whenever you 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.200 look at the current state of this offensive line and 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.280 you've got a couple tackles out, and of course I 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.440 think long term, you want him to be your left tackle, 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.080 you want him to be your Tyrand Smith replacement. But Katie, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.840 it would Slater play guard first? Would he be at 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.600 left guard initially? Is it just the versatility that you're 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.040 excited about because he could come in and play immediately 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.520 a guard and then ultimately move out to one of 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.920 the tackle spots whenever you needed him. I just feel 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:21.320 like that's one of those things that can have a 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.159 better answer for you, and you know in March or April, 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.600 because you know, I just to me, it's flip a 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.800 coin that Tyrd Smith is on this team next year. 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.320 I mean fifty to fifty, whether it's retirement, whether it's 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:37.520 cap casualty or whatever. I don't necessarily one hundred percent 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.200 think he's here next year. And you know, we'll see 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.560 that that's all gonna play out. I'm gonna find a 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.040 way to get him on the field. He's my number 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.480 ten pick, though he will be starting for me. He's 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.520 not a developmental guy. He's ready to go. You know, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.399 Dane menchened Chase Young twice a year. How about you 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.680 guys watch the Bills a little bit, see aj epenessa 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.120 flash a little bit. He handled Japanessa at Iowa back 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.840 in twenty nineteen as well. I mean, Slater's ready to go. Um, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:04.960 I know he didn't play in twenty twenty. That's the 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.119 one question mark you might have is what does he 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.119 look like now? What has he done? And everything you 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.879 hear about him is he's a great dude, um and 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:15.720 he's in he's in control of his body, all that 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:20.000 stuff like, he's good to go, Katie. Here here's your assignment. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:24.119 Uh Rashawn's working out in Frisco right now, so just 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.719 topping the car. Need you to sneak in, get some footage, 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.040 see what the body's looking like. See how because he 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.040 I talked to his trainer and he's working out a 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.840 guard and center, so getting used to the body movement. 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:37.840 So I need you to get a little bit of 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:41.199 footage of that he always doing. That's your assignment, right 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.320 all right? Seeler, Yeah, I mean, if let's go and 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.560 just get it done. Thanks buddy, appreciate you. But Jeff, 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.000 do you feel like that's a realistic expectation is to 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.760 be able to come in and play guard initially and 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:59.000 do it successfully against the division that at least really 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:01.080 the strengths of the teams, even though there maybe not 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:05.520 be very strong teams, the front sevens are pretty stout. Yeah. 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:10.120 I think that's why I think his name there makes 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.679 a lot of sense because of everything that Dane is 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:16.159 talking about. I think Rashawn Slater versus Penney Sewell is 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.560 a great debate at playing tackle. That's how good I 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.640 think his tape is a tackle. Now, the fact that 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.880 people are going to consider him at Garden Center, it's 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.640 just to me, it's just extra because if you're comparing 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:34.240 his tackle tape to say, Christian dey Saw or Elijah 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.320 Vera Tucker, or pick the names of other guys that 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.400 you like that could be first round picks, Rashawn Slater's 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.680 got better tape. He's the better player, and he's a 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.359 guy that people are going to project to be And 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.720 it's it's almost like a if you can play left tackle, 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:53.840 you play left tackle. So I think a lot of 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.000 teams are kind of projecting it to like, well, I 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.159 don't know if you can play left tackle, so he 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.200 can do this, and they're gonna feel like, but he's 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:01.960 going to be an all pro guard or he's gonna 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.080 be an incredible guard. Yeah, but he's a better tackle 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.639
