The former Bears 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.880 quarterback joining us tonight as well. A later out of 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.600 the program will be joined by I don't know is 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.960 he Kareem Biggins? Is he Anthony Adams as he doubled 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.720 a is? And the Anthony Spice Adams. I will get 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.040 an NBA All Star review. I guess we get that 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.320 from Jim. I think you got a preface who you're 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.960 talking to before you ask the question what you're going 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.120 to ask, don't ask double a A question about the 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.959 basketball game. That's a great point, and Jim could probably 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.640 talk about All Star festivities as much as Uh. Well, 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.920 I didn't get rejected like Anthony Adams in the celebrity game. 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.720 I'll take that. But he's always a pleasure and hilarious 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.119 to watch. My son follows on Twitter and he's like, Dad, 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.240 look at this guy. Yeah it's Anthony Adams of the 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.039 Chicago Paars. He's hilarious and so what's not to like 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.880 about Anthony always makes it fun and entertaining. But yeah, 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.319 it was really I thought well done. You know, the 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.480 United Center was packed, a great tribute to Kobe Bryant, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.840 and just you know, to see those great athletes out 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.440 there playing. It got extremely competitive in the fourth quarter, 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.000 like the setup that they had to get to the 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.920 projected score of one fifty seven, and they were getting 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.440 after it. But just you know, I know, they're all 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.280 All Stars and they're all tremendous players and athletes. But 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.760 even when you watch guys like that up close and personal, 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.640 and just for those guys as basketball players, just how 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.840 well they move. Like Ben Simmons, that guy's athleticism of 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.040 the seventy ecdude is off the charts off the charts. 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.760 He's one of those guys time that we talked about 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.880 ninety percent of the guys in the NFL have to 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.440 work their ass off, and probably ten percent are just 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:19.040 that physically gifted that Ben Simmons is athletically gifted man. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.320 To watch that guy move, it is just effortless for him. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.280 There what problem was, He's got to finish it? Probably 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.080 it comes so easy for him. If he'd just worked 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.000 on a shot a little bit more, he'd be tremendous. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.919 That's pretty important shooting. I was walking through Hollis Hall 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.120 the other morning and I ran into coach Naggie and 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.080 he said that he was at the All Star Game 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.560 and he was left with the impression of the incredible 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.160 size of all the players that you're surrounded by and 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:43.839 not you know what I think when the All Star 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.840 Game comes around Chicago, I think it's good for all 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.120 Chicago sports teams because whether you have a chance to 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.800 rub elbows with one of the All Stars or just 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.720 see the emphasis of success for the weekend that you know, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.400 have the surrounding stories about all these guys, and it's 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.880 just when you're a young athlete that you're living in 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.000 the moment, and I was at the All Star Game 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:08.120 in eighty eight and understood what that competition was with Jordan, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.359 and I think it's you hope that you leave the 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.760 same reflection on all the sports teams here in Chicago. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.440 After that weekend, I get to speak for my thirteen 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.280 year old Manny him and all of his friends. It's 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.040 all NBA. Man, that's all they talk about. Um, you know, 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.080 Zion and the draft picks and Taco fall and to 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.799 see the dunk contest and all this. That's all they 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.919 talk about. They are just they love NBA basketball. And 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.520 you know I got suckered in as well, because you know, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.080 you pay for parking. And then we tried to go 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.600 in and grab but by Kobe jersey of course, but 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.880 they were sold out already in Monday prior to the game. 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.840 Think about that that Kobe's jersey was just flying off 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.920 the shelves because everything that was unfolded and the tribute, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.880 which was fantastic. So we settle for a Westbrook jersey. 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.119 And then at halftime, my son's got the goal to say, 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.400 you know, Dad, I really should get the shorts to 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:05.120 make it an act. So you blew a few. I 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.040 think you're good for it. I think you're good for it, 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.800 Big Jim. He enjoyed it. You know when you mentioned 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.800 Naggy Uh. You look at what teams in the NFL 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.640 are trying to do offensively right now, and especially at 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.080 receiver and all the different weapons. You're essentially trying to 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.359 build a basketball team. You're you're building a whole group 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.600 of different types of weapons, size, shape, speed to accentuate 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.440 different aspects of your offense. I mean, that's pretty much 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:32.960 what you're trying to do right now. Or in the 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.039 case of the Chiefs, you're building a track team. But 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.640 you are trying to get the guys who can you know, 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.760 box out leap for those red zone touchdowns of the 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.240 back shoulder phade. You're looking for the quickness and the 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.960 speed out of the slot. You're looking for variety, aren't you. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.800 But you know, listening to a show today and they 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.880 were the point of Ephesus. They were talking about is 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.680 such a big group of receivers that trying to match 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.159 them with the right defensive backs and like the topic 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.479 that we talked about. They even brought it up in 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.800 convert these wide receivers two defensive backs just trying to 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.760 match that outside size to these offenses, and you're just 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.080 not going to be able to do that because there 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.680 is there isn't an abundance of six foot plus cornerbacks 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.400 out there that are great at what they do and 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.560 they can combat the NFL offenses of today. Yeah, and 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.080 it's just the history of the draft. Over thirty receivers 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.240 are normally drafted, I believe is the average, and that's 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.760 going to mirror with wide receivers. Here. Let me just 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.599 pull up the averages right now. Receivers, the average draft 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.200 is thirty one receivers, so for cornerbacks it's thirty two. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.200 They kind of mirror each other. And just to emphasize 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.520 Tom's point, you look at this receivers class and how 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.320 many guys you know, look at DK Metcalf last year. Here, 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.480 he's a second rounder and he looked like a season 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.920 pro by the end of there's well over six foot. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.760 But in terms of over defensive backs over six foot, 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.279 the top probably six guys are listed over six foot 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.200 six one, six two, primarily about six foot after that 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.200 five to eleven, five, ten, and it's just literally you, 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.680 just like Tom said, you just don't find them. Trey 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.360 Von Diggs, who who we talked to at Alabama. I mean, 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.279 he was a former receiver that converted to defensive back 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.279 and he's one of those guys that's probably gonna go 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.880 high because he's got the size that Tom's talking about. Yeah, 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.440 wide receiver depth in the draft, you're hearing now there 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.200 could be thirty guys drafted by the third round easily, 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:30.400 there may be forty guys draft und Yeah, forty guys 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.360 are listed to be drafted in this wide receiver group. 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.440 That's how talented of a group. You know. Then what 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.120 position does that affect them and move them all the 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.800 way to the free agency market. Is there gonna be 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.479 a position that's going to affect or is it just 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.320 going to be the back end of the guys that 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.720 we're going to be picked in the seventh round regardless? Yeah, 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.080 I think it's definitely going to affect the free agent 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.920 wide receiver market. You know, you look at the guys 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.239 that are out there. AJ Green will probably get tagged, 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.119 I would assume by the Cincinnati Bengals. But what team 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.320 is in a rush to resign any of these agent 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.080 wide receivers. Look at the success of wide receivers in 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.560 the draft, last year, anybody from Hollywood Brown of the 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.600 Baltimore Ravens. Look at a J Brown out there for Tennessee. 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.840 We mentioned dk Metcalf. I mean, look at Deebo Samuel. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.800 Look at the two rookies in the Super Bowl. Deebo 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.400 Samuel was awesome. And then look at Harden or Mikole 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:23.160 Hardman for Kansas City. So if I'm a free agent 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.400 wide receiver, I'm a little depressed because I think that 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.520 market is going to be pretty stale here because a 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.280 lot of teams will be looking at the draft and 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.280 so therefore too, you know, this is the first year 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.800 you can have transition and franchise tag and a player, 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.040 so you know, you think that will be less of 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.240 an impact on those positions on the scale positions because 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.680 of that. Yeah, I think the positions you probably want 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.200 to franchise is tight end because this is a weak draft. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.040 So I would think say like Hunter Henry, I would 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.480 think he would chargers would probably want to think about 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.280 tagging him, or say even Austin Hooper, that tight end 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.120 could get a tab. You already saw Greg Olsen. He 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.840 got signed today by Seattle, right, So there's a good 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.760 tight end off the market. Eric Ebron, he's a free agent. 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.120 But you know, I think those tight ends probably will 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.440 will command a tag because this is not a good 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.040 draft for tight ends. It really isn't. This is bears 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.280 All Access. It's brought to you by Igs Energy, Jeff, 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.840 Jonny Act, Tom there and Jim Miller with you on 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.920 our next segment. Will start taking some phone calls if 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.440 you sell incline three one two sixty four sixty seven 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.240 sixty seven. It's three one two six four four six 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.239 seven sixty seven. You know, with the combine before free agency, 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.560 which actually starts a month from today, the tampering period, 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.920 the legal tampering starts sixteenth, the eighteenth free agency opens up, 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.320 and you know, you try to spray to off fields 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.640 at the combine. You look at everything, you want to 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.800 get your ducks in a row, and then you fill 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:49.040 some some needs in free agency, hopefully don't go crazy 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.520 with the spending, at least that's my perspective on it. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.280 And then you go and fill fill the voids with 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:55.880 the guys that you're going to grow with over the 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.199 next you know, one to two to three years. Oh, 0:08:58.240 --> 0:08:59.719 you know, that's how I look at it. How do 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.560 you guys, you know a lot of a lot of 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.480 teams that follow that flow chart. It's more easily predictable 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.520 because they have pick starting in the early ones all 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.760 the way through. When you're trying to predetermine who could 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.000 cost possibly be around, I think you have to put 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.800 more emphasis in studying every player at the combine rather 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.559 than just a select few. We'll get Jim's thoughts when 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.680 we come out of the break again. Bears All Access 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:29.800 brought to you by IGS Energy.

Moving the chains with a 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.520 lot of information building up to the combine a week 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.600 from today, will be up early in Adam, Big Jim 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.920 at the Combine. Here in a lot of a lot 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.960 of information being thrown about coaches and general managers on 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.440 that day and also the first wave of players. So 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.440 beginning of an extremely busy week for the Bears, and 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.000 the rest of the other thirty one teams. And with 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.120 that being said, let's take a minute to take a 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:16.080 look at how you guys feel about this year's draft 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:19.160 class in general. Will get more specific as we move 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.320 closer to the draft. It's a couple of months away, 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.120 but you know, the strength of the draft peers to 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:29.200 be receiver, peers to be tackle, appears to be depth 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.520 in certain positions. I don't know, do you do you 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.360 put quarterback in that category in terms of depth or 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.480 not as many as at the top. Obviously there's three guys, 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.480 but what are you guys looking at that? Yeah, for 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.280 meat quarterback, I mean, obviously the top two guys in 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.520 cool two excuse me, out of Alabama. He's going to 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.760 be the wild card because it's all about medical for him, 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.080 and I don't even know if he's going to be 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.720 able to throw before the draft. They're going to try 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.440 to set I talked to him at the at the 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.480 Super Bowl and he said he is going to try 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.920 to arrange, you know, a work out for all thirty 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.440 two teams in the NFL where he'll throw, But a 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.520 lot of that will be determined by the doctor and 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.880 if he gets cleared and all that, and then you'll 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.439 have to go through the medical competitive advantage. But obviously 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.320 the first two guys are interesting. When you look at 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.600 Burrow and Herbert, to me, removed all doubt that guy 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.320 can play. I saw him up close and personal at 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.040 the Senior Bowl, and he's not gonna fall far and 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.160 if anything, he is going to move up. He went 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.320 down there, he competed, and he removed all doubt and 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.160 I think he you know, it's really to me. The 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.040 draft is going to start at pick three with the 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.240 Detroit Lions. So if Burrow goes one, I would think 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.880 Chase Young, the pass rusher goes too to the Redskins. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.760 Now Detroit's in a quandary. They're gonna keep Matthew Stafford. 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.520 I doubt they're in the quarterback market. They could potentially 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.439 trade down, and I would think there is going to 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.880 be whether it's the Chargers, whether it's Miami. Maybe they 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.679 want to trade up and get to that three spot 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:54.760 to take Justin Herbert out of Oregon. After Herbert Eason 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.960 intrigues me a little bit. I liked Anthony Gordon and 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.240 what I saw from the Washing State product. Other guys 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.280 I think are just guys like Jake from I know 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.680 he's comes highly regarded with his career and he's played 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.360 in big games, and he's played in a lot of them, 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.600 and here he declares as a junior to come out. 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.600 I think he's just average. I think he's got average 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:19.160 arm strength, the average ability to move. Love the kid 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.679 out of Utah State. He's a very athletic and has 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.920 a big arm. He's intriguing. I would think basically Love 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.200 in Easton would be the two other guys, and Anthony 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.240 Gordon I think is intriguing. He would be a later 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.200 round draft pick, but I think those other two guys 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.880 would be middle rounders when you look at Love in Easton, 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.360 That's how I see it. You know, I like the 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.280 draft as a whole. It's it's kind of a a tale, 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.640 you know, two tales this year. Because you're paying attention 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.520 to the bear's side of it. It's hard to really 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:52.240 get the anticipation and too emotional about it because they're 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.960 picking so far down the line and you really don't have, 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.120 you know, anybody with the target on him that you 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.400 keep hearing about, you know, throughout the airwaves here. But 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.680 I like the talent that's going to go in the draft, 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.240 and I'm two. He scares me just because of the 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.360 health issues. If I'm looking at a team that's within 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.280 the top five, I have to consider them having a 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.760 poor offensive line and maybe not the ability to protect 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.040 a guy that's coming off of injury. You know, do 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:19.600 you want him to play right away or do you 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.400 want to play him a year down the road? I 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:26.000 you know, I like them burrows from LSU and the 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.079 quarterback from Morgan. Those are the two guys that if 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.520 I was a team that was looking for a quarterback 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.719 up front, those are the guys I would be looking at. 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.840 I'm interested to see where Chase Young goes because it 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.240 seems like, man, he's he's got a high he's got 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.559 a high grade, and people feel like he's going to 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.360 have an immediate impact on a team that he goes to. 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.880 And if you're either saying one or two right, but well, 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.640 you know, but you know, if if he's put in 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.560 the right place, is it is it a team that's 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:59.480 hurting so bad defensively that one one immediate threat of 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.440 a pass rusher can help three other defensive players be 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.760 a better player. And it's just, you know, I'm interested 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.680 to see where he goes from this point on, because 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.880 I I undervalued Bosa who came out of there a 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.640 year ago. What do you think about the overall edge 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.560 and defensive end class, Jim, Yeah, I mean I like it. 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.600 I think there's some some talented guys. Pat and I 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.560 actually went through you know, some of the defensive ends 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.280 went through defensive tackles today. But the edge rushers I 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.200 think are pretty strong. You know, there are guys that 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.000 can play up and down the defensive line, even some 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.880 of these defensive tackles that are coming out. That Javon 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.200 Kidlaw Kin Law out of South Carolina at dude's an 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.480 absolute monster. You know at the I know he'll play inside, 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.200 but he can line up as a defensive end too. 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.520 And East three hundred and fifteen pounds and that guy 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.760 lost forty pounds, lost forty pounds. That guy can absolutely 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:55.280 do everything from the defensive line standpoint. He played so 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.000 well he basically shut it down at the REESA Senior 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.680 Bowl after Wednesday, and he moved all doubt obviously. Derek 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.560 Brown by Derek Brown. Oh, that guy's amazing too. He's 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:10.360 three checks those two guys for inside pass rushers and 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.800 could play up and down the defensive. Why those two 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.440 are definitely going in the first round. I'm intrigued by 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.840 Raekwon Davis out of Alabama and Gallimore out of Oklahoma 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.200 as well. They're getting a lot of interest as well 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.440 as for the defensive end population. You know, Chase Young 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.800 stands alone is how it sits right now. You've got 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.560 epiniza or epinessa excuse me from Iowa. He's garnering a 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.160 lot of attention. Grennard from Florida is another guy where 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.640 he's extremely talented. The two interesting guys are from Alabama 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:42.680 and its Terrell Lewis in his cohort, his teammate that 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.920 have dealt with a lot of injuries. I think are 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.640 gonna larger garner a lot of attention as well. One 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.360 because they're from Alabama, but a lot of Alabama guys 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.440 come out beat up. So you just got to do 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.200 your medical history on those guys, and I think they're 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.480 gonna fare very well also in terms of their NFL career. 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.960 You know one thing about defensive lineman, there are no 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.160 more one dimensional defensive lineman from the days at looking 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.600 at a guy like Fred Washington, who you know is 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.920 going to camp out for ten years over the center's head. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.800 That is no longer part of the picture. You have 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:16.480 to have these guys that they grow as as time 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.040 moves on. You know, you look at you Know Bears. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.520 The players at the Bears have brought in and they've 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.240 been able to morph their defensive fronts because of the 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.480 ability to move up and down the line of scrimmage. 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.720 And so I do think that's one of the unique 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.600 things when you're evaluating defensive line talent as a whole, 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.480 because even if you're one of the fast outside guys, 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.480 you're still going to be moved inside at times against 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:43.920 different offenses and different personnel groupings. However, nowadays, what you're 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.920 looking for out of defensive lineman as these guys they are, 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.760 they're multitalented. They can play up and down the line 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.280 of scrimmage in a right handed stance or a left 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.600 handed stance. I should have mentioned Caleb and Chasin also 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.760 the linebacker from LSU. He's can be a defensive end 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.000 as well. He's going first round as well. So probably 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.080 here are the three pass rushers that'll go. Epanessa out 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.680 of Iowa he'll go first round. Chase Young's going first round. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.880 Caleb and chase run or chasing out of LSU's going 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.640 first round, and then then you probably turn to those 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.520 defensive tackles that we just mentioned. Those guys have the 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.399 ability to pass rush. They're both going first round, so Brown, 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.000 excuse me. And then I mentioned kin Law as well. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.440 So there's probably five guys right there easily first rounders. 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.360 This is Bears All Access on Chicago Sports Radio six 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.479 seventy to score. Jeff and Tom and Jim Miller with 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:37.000 you three one two sixty sixty seven, sixty seven. If 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.320 you want to jump on and give us a call, 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.119 We're gonna hear from Anthony Adams about six forty five tonight. 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:47.399 The position that is very interesting right now in terms 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:51.960 of what's going to be possibly available in free agency 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.560 and then what it means to pushing guys down to 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.800 the draft because of other positions and because of that 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.719 free agency, and because you're hearing now that you know 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.760 obviously it's it's kind of risky to put a ton 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.560 of money on a running back, and Todd Gurley's feeling 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:13.720 that Rath salary Caps can't handle it that running back group. 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.639 There could be a bunch in the second round that 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.320 there are still quality running backs, third round quality running backs. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:23.240 And that's something of an interesting angle to this draft. 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.800 Do you think Derek Henry will set the scale? I mean, 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.800 you're talking about a veteran, but is he going to 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.240 be the guy that's going to tell every running back 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:35.120 behind him what? You know what? You know what you're 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.760 trying to build up to. So that's kind of interesting 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.119 before the draft ever takes place. Yeah, Nolvid Gordon, it 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.000 just didn't work out. You know, we think about him. 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.680 He held out, he even recognized it was a mistake. 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.760 And I think the market has somewhat corrected itself after 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.359 the Levy on Bell situation. Here he sits out an 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.400 entire year, comes back, actually gets less money. The Steelers 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.160 had the better offer out on the table, and here 0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.919 he's has to settle for a deal with the New 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.560 York Jets. Had his career low's last year for the 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:04.960 New York Jets as well, So that the market is 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.200 kind of in a correction right now. And as you mentioned, Jeff, 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.520 plenty of running backs and think about other running backs 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.760 that have just stepped in and played well and ben productive. Yeah, 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.240 I think you got to think twice about blowing out 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.400 your budget on a veteran running back. He really got 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.040 to take a step back and look at that salary 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.440 cap implications being what they are.
