1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: your twenty four seventh home of the Black and Gold

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Lollly, he

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: is Matt Williamson. This is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio.

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: And what we just did one thing from Mike Lay.

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about another thing that Clay put out. All right,

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: why not? As he often does here every once in

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: a while, he'll put out a chart where he grades

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: each team at his particular position. And I think the

10
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: grading scale is on a you have four points for

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: being the best, okay, at the highest in the league,

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: and it goes down from there. So it's a four

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: point and then he adds everything up at each position

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: and that's your ranking, and he waits it, which I

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: think is interesting too, Like quarterback is twenty eight percent

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: of your total grade, Yes, we're running backs only three

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: percent of your total grade, which is the lowest. You know.

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: So anytime you do these charts like well, I always

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: get to tweets like, well, quarterback doesn't mean more than

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: tight end. I'm like, I know it does, but bro,

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: and he has offensive line is graded out at twelve percent. Yeah,

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: that's which is the second highest, but makes sense though,

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: because there's five players there that's also Yeah, half the

24
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: field is lineman almost you know. Yeah, so I mean

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: it should be weighted more. You know, your lineman, your

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: defensive line, and your edge rushers are also eight percent

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: to nine percent. Your wide receivers are eleven percent most

28
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: three of them on the field a high percent of

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: the time, the same as corners that are just under that. Yeah.

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: So looking at the Steelers rankings on here, they get

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: a one point three at quarterback. Yeah. By the way,

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: the Jets have a three point four. Yeah, I don't

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: know how that that. That's again, you're again everybody's just

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: assuming this Rogers thing gets done and the Ravens have

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: a three point three. Yeah, you know, Niners or one

36
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: point one. You know, there's some of these teams that

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: we were talking about in the first segment. Well, see

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I agree with the Niners at one point one, right,

39
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: me too. Let's say he I like what he did there,

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: Ravens and Jets. I don't know what how I do that.

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: So let's look at the you want to look at

42
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: the teams that are rated lower than the Steelers at

43
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: quarterback or higher. It doesn't matter to me. They got

44
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: the Texans as a point one. Well again, rookie quarterback.

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: You don't know so the teams on the team yet, Yeah,

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: the teams below the Steelers, as you mentioned, the forty

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: nine Ers are at one point one. The Packers are

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: at point nine, and yeah, I think that's safe. The Patriots.

49
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: The Patriots at one point zero. So he already thinks

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett Mitch dr Bisky is better than Mac Jones.

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: I agree with that. The Commanders are point five. Yeah,

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: I agree with that too. The Buccaneers are point six. Yes,

53
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: the Falcons are point eight. That's understandable. The Culture point four. Yeah,

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: it's currently constructed, it's yeah. The Panthers are point three.

55
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: The Texts at point one. Okay. Some teams that are

56
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: ranked just ahead of the Steelers, the Titans at one

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: point four. Subject to change. Yeah, Those roller coasters all

58
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: go in different directions. I don't know that if if

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: you had, let's say it was just for this next season,

60
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: just for twenty twenty three, and you could swap them

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: back at the end of the year, would you swap

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett for Ryan tanney Hill right now, and you

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: could trade them back at the end of the year.

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying no, but I think there's an argument for it.

65
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a legit question. It's not

66
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: just a slam dunk. No. And my thoughts are Tannehill

67
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: and the Steeler uniform would look pretty decent handing the

68
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: ball off, not making mistakes, being a veteran, end of career,

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: your ben things mentally, you know what I mean. I

70
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: want more than that, though, oh I want more than that,

71
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: But I understand what the You know that maybe you're

72
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: a better team with him week one, maybe, but I

73
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: would not make the trade. At one point five are

74
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders, It would not make the trade either. Jimmy

75
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: gonna play seventeen games. Ever, I don't I don't know

76
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: if Jimmy starts a season like right, right right, I

77
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: don't know. At one point six or the Seahawks, we

78
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: just talked about Gino a little bit ago. I think

79
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a regression. I mean, Pikett got better

80
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: than the season went on, do you know got worse? Yeah,

81
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: So it's a trends tells you. At one point eight

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: are the Lions. He had a really good year. He

83
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: still has those home road splits that yeah, yeah, a

84
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: little crazy. I would not be satisfied with him, but yeah,

85
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's I don't know, fifteenth best quarterback in

86
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: the league last year at one point nine are the Saints, Okay,

87
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean I still think cars overpick it. He had

88
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: a bad year, but yeah, and then the Bears are

89
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: at two point zero. He's hard to play against. I mean,

90
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: he's far from a finished product, but he kept them

91
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: competitive when they had nothing around him field. Yeah, at

92
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: running back, the Steelers get a two point four, so

93
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: they're probably just just above average if you look at

94
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: the teams that are below them, um Jags. The Eagles

95
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: are at point four. I mean, Penny's knock, He's gonna

96
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: play three games and that's about all that. That's about

97
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: what he gets you every year. The Cowboys are now

98
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: one point nine. He's a good player. I mean they

99
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: need to get another guy. They need to get another

100
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are at point five. They've signed a thousand

101
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: running backs the last two years and they still got

102
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: one of the worst running back rooms in the league.

103
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't think any of them are good, and I

104
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: don't think they just think they played. Hey, you play

105
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: five games, get hurting. Run the next one out there, yeah, right,

106
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: right right. The Bengals are at two point three. That

107
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: one surprises me. The Bucks are at point one, but

108
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals at two point three. They lost, They lost

109
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: p Ride right right. Yeah, I think that's safe. I mean,

110
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: I think they better at another one. The Bills are

111
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: at one point four. I bet the Bengals draft the

112
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: back is all the best teams in the like, some

113
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league. If you were

114
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals at running back, if Jan was there, would

115
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: you draft them if you were the Bengals, Absolutely absolutely,

116
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: I would. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think he makes it

117
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: that far, but you don't even Yeah, yeah, I would absolutely.

118
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are at point nine. Yeah. I don't think

119
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: Pacheco is great either. Yeah. I think he's gonna be

120
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: a guy that runs into the wall and gets hurt. Oh,

121
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: I agree with that. The Broncos are at one point five.

122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't have any faith in Jibante Williams, and I

123
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: don't know what j Wante william going to be. How

124
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: about this one, though, The Steelers are two point four.

125
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: The Browns are now two point five. Oh, I think

126
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I mean, I know there's no depth there,

127
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: but there's no depth. And Chubb has been a guy

128
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: over the course of his cruise miss games, I know,

129
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: but I think he's still a top. I think he's

130
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: a great he's a great runner on his own right,

131
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: But do you trust him to do it for seventeen

132
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: games when he isn't He's always had somebody else there

133
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: at the NFL, even in college for that matter. I

134
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: was looking at Titans, like, to me, the Titans and

135
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Browns should be the same, and they're not. There are

136
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: three six. I think that the Titans still they drafted.

137
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: They have Hassan Reddick or whatever. Yeah, that's not his name.

138
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: That's fine, yeah, yeah, um, but the Browns have to

139
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: get somebody. Yeah. Um. The Ravens are at one point zero.

140
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: I think Dobbins bounces back a little bit. I don't

141
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: know what he is. The Jaguars are at two point one.

142
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: They only have one guy to him. Yeah, you got

143
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals at one point three. I think i'd be lower.

144
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah again, I don't trust James Connor to stay healthy. Yeah.

145
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: How about this one though. The Seahawks at one point eight.

146
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm a walker believer. Again, he's looking at the whole

147
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: room though, I know, I know, like Jalb Warren, Jlen

148
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Warren would start on some teams. He would, I mean,

149
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: he would be a bigger contributor on a lot of

150
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: teams than he is here at the moment. Yeah, the

151
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: Bears are at point six. Yeah, Herbert's is not a

152
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: bad player. Well they signed somebody too, who else they

153
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: they said Foreman. Yeah, they're done, which isn't great. It's

154
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: not great. Yeah, you got the Commanders at one point

155
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: six the Buccaneers and point point one for the Buccaneers.

156
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: That's why you know a lot of my marks I

157
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: have bi Jean Robinson going there just want to I mean,

158
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: that makes a ton of the defense. Isn't awful. No,

159
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: they need a playmaker. They gotta take if you have

160
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: bad quarterback play, you gotta take some pressure off of that.

161
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: I think they like Rashad White, I really don't. But

162
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: for as well as they ran the football last year,

163
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: the Falcons are point eight, I think they're all just

164
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys. Yeah, come at you in waves.

165
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: Though the Panthers are one point one. They don't even

166
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: have fourman anymore. Yeah, I got Miles Sanders though. They

167
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: have Miles Sanders now though, but that doesn't move the

168
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: needle that much. The Rams are point three. I acre

169
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: stock has dropped like crazy. Yeah, and then the Texans

170
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: at two point zero. Pierce is fine and they signed Singletary. Okay,

171
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: I mean the Steelers are in the upper half of

172
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: the league there at wide receiver. The Steelers come in

173
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: at two point nine, which is actually, yeah, that's that's

174
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: not bad. We'll go with the teams that in them.

175
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: If I was in plays shoes, I don't know how

176
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: i'd value third receiver. You know, you and I know

177
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot more about them than yeah, probably or you know.

178
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: The interesting thing here, So the Steelers come in at

179
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he has the Steelers a two point zero. Yeah, okay,

180
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: I was looking at a tight end. Yeah, two point zero.

181
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: So he thinks average, So there's okay. So looking at

182
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: the teams he has ranked behind them. Got the Bills

183
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: at one point six. Good, I'm bored with that. I

184
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: think it's Digs and nobody else. The Chiefs at one

185
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: point zero, really low, really low. Yeah, the Browns at

186
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: one point five. Real quick, I mean look at the Chiefs.

187
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: I mean they're bottom of the bin and running back

188
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: end receiver. Yeah, top of the bin in the other offense.

189
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: One point five for the Browns. You got the Vikings

190
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: at one point nine, which again surprising. They got maybe

191
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the league. But I can see

192
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: their first round pick being a wide out. Now, yeah,

193
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens at point four. Does it really goes Uh?

194
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: You got the Saints at one point eight. Ravens are

195
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: the lowest on the list. Yeah, yeah, well, I know

196
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: the Titans are at points are point one. Falcons. That's

197
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: why the Yeah, the Falcons are right there with them.

198
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: But you know that the Titans could one draft a

199
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Oh that's rough. Yeah, um, pretty rough on

200
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Drake London is a good player. Yeah. You

201
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: got the Giants at one point one, the Packers at

202
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: point six, the Patriots at point nine, Yeah, the Falcons

203
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: at point three, the Titans at point one, the Culture

204
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: one point three, the Panthers point five, the Rams one

205
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: point four. You don't know what Cooper cup is at

206
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: this point yeah, and then the Texans at point eight. Okay, yeah,

207
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: I mean, and help isn't on the way, No, I mean,

208
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: I think receiverals will get overdrafted at tight end. As

209
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: you mentioned that, that's where I made a mistake two

210
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: point nine for the Steelers. So pat Farremouth getting some

211
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: love there. The Cowboys are now at point four? Or

212
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: should we go to teams that are ahead of them,

213
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: because there are two point nine there's that would be

214
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: much smaller. There's only like seven that are ahead of them. Yeah,

215
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: so you're looking at the Eagles at three point three.

216
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: You got the Chiefs at four point zero, obviously with Kelsey,

217
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings at three point five, the Ravens at three

218
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: point nine, the forty nine Ers at three point eight,

219
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals at three point six. I don't know about that. Yeah,

220
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: show himself. Yeah, I don't know if he's still that guy.

221
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: The Giants at three point four, I'm not sure about

222
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: that either. I'm not sure about that one either. You

223
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: got the Patriots at three point zero. Well, they're spending

224
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: a gajillion dollars on their tight end room, but I

225
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: still don't I wouldn't take Firemouth straight up for any

226
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: of their tight ends. I forgot they signed Giseki. I

227
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 1: was trying to think who their number two is. Noseki

228
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: is not even a great Pitt doesn't. Yeah, that doesn't

229
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: move the needle for me. The Falcons at three point one.

230
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: I still I'm on board with Falcons being okay, But

231
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if you offered Pits for Friar move, I

232
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: would make that trade. On the offensive line. The Steelers

233
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: come in at one point six. It's a little harsh.

234
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: It's a little harsh. I've being closer to maybe two,

235
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: even slightly ahead of two. But let's let's see where

236
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: we disagree here. So at one point six, you got

237
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins at one point eight. Health is an issue. Yeah.

238
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: The Bengals come in at two point zero. Round helps,

239
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: but I don't think I'd swap lines with them. The

240
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: Bills are one point three. I don't think i'd swap

241
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: lines with them either. The Jets are point eight in tiers.

242
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: All the Garden plays are okay, but the Chargers at two.

243
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: Chargers at two point six on their offensive line, Slater

244
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: come back in Zion's a good start. It's two good guys.

245
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: Who's your right tackle? Like? They got issues? I think

246
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: they're bringing Pipkins back, which isn't good. No, the Jaguars

247
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: at point three, it's decent. Point three point three, Wow,

248
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: I think they're better than that. The Saints at one

249
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: point nine, because I mentioned the Steelers are one point six,

250
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers at point four. They kind of

251
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: have one guy at this point. Yeah, and he's old.

252
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he's maybe the best in the league. But

253
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: I bet a lot of people can't name nine hunder starters.

254
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: You get the Cardinals at point five. It's a really

255
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: bad group. The Giants at one point one into your

256
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: three of the five are bad. Yeah, the Seahawks at

257
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: one point five, I think it's a little better than that,

258
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: but okay, the Commanders at point nine. I also think

259
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: it's better than that. They signed two of them. I

260
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: can't remember. I thought I had who they were. But

261
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are one point zero. For the Buccaneers, well

262
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: they lost Mason, they lost Smith, they cut um what's

263
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: his face retired last year. Yeah, I mean it's worse

264
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: and not much else. Not much else. Once again, the

265
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Titans are at point one. Oh man, they have no

266
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: playmakers and their offensive line stinks. The only green Derik

267
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: Henry uh. You got the Rams in at point six

268
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: and the Texas at one point four. Those are the

269
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: those are the lines behind the Steelers the lines just

270
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: ahead of me. Got the Panthers at two point one,

271
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: the Culture at two point four. I don't know about

272
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: that one necessarily what they put out there last year.

273
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: The Raiders are at two point two point three. I

274
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: think they have won good lineman. Yeah. Um, the Saints

275
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: at one point nine, the Dolphins at one point eight. Okay,

276
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean I get that neighborhood for the Steelers. Yeah.

277
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: Let's move over to the defensive side of the ball.

278
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: By the way, the Steelers offense and when you add

279
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: all of that up, comes in at twenty first for

280
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: their offensive grade. Okay, wait, it's all weighted and all

281
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: that as well. Yeah. On the defensive side of things,

282
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Steelers defensive line comes in at three point one. Their

283
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: defensive interior guys. The teams, Yeah, the team's ahead of them.

284
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: You got the the Colts at three point five. You're

285
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: Buckner is thinking about getting Oh yeah, would you want

286
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: to be part of that? Yeah? Right, yeah. You got

287
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: the Falcons at three point three. I don't know about that. No,

288
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: I would not have them high. They would not be

289
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: above average for me. No. No, the Commanders at three

290
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: point six. You got the Giants at four point zero.

291
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Lawrence is a star. Yeah, the forty nine Ers at

292
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: three point nine, okay, now they've Hargrave. The Bengals at

293
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: three point four readers a lot better than giving credit

294
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: for Is he better than Hayward though? No? No, And

295
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins at three point eight. I'm a big Wilkins fan. Yeah. Again,

296
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm taking any of those guys. Okay.

297
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: So like the Titans coming at two point nine, Well,

298
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: they've got a star defensive player at defensive tackle as well. Yeah, yeah,

299
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: but they don't get the they don't get the I mean, yeah,

300
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: the Rams are two eight. So if you're just grading

301
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: that on based on one guy and that's why some

302
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: of those teams are getting I don't get it. Yeah, yeah,

303
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: I hear you on that. Like the Falcons make no

304
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: sense to me? That Falcons make no sense. Right run

305
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: the ball will on them right right, right edge rushers.

306
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: The Steelers coming at three point six, pretty strong, pretty strong.

307
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: I want to see what teams are ahead of them. Yeah, Viking.

308
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: I would not put the Vikings ahead of them. Oh heck, No,

309
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: Vikings are four zero based on what based on who

310
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: Zadarius and Daniel Hunter? Okay if it was if it

311
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: was three years ago, both those guys. Yeah, right, the

312
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: Chargers coming at three point nine. I get it, Mac

313
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: and Bosa. That's good. It wasn't great last year though.

314
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: That Mac made the Pro Bowl last year, it's like

315
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: seven sacks. Then they talked about cutting him. Yeah. You

316
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: got the Cowboys at three point eight. They're putting parsons obviously,

317
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: they're putting parsons on the outside because their linebackers are awful.

318
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, uh. And then you've got anybody else. Eagles

319
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: and Dolphins are just behind. But that's it. Yeah, how

320
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: about that. So the Eagles last year put up what

321
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: seventy sacks. Their defensive interiors now one point eight. Their

322
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: edge rushers are three point four, their linebackers are point three.

323
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Their linebackers are off. Yeah. So those are the teams

324
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: looking at the other teams in the division. So on

325
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: the defensive line, defensive interior, the Bengals come in at

326
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: three point four, edge rushers two point five, the Browns

327
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: one point one on the defensive interior, which is actually

328
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: an improvement for them. Yeah, that's up. Yeah, and a

329
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: two point eight on the edge one guy, yeah yeah.

330
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: And then we got the Ravens. Where the Ravens at

331
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: point nine defensive interior one point four on the edge, yeah,

332
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, by the way their cornerbacks are now one

333
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: point zero. Yeah, a lot of red there on defense.

334
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: A lot of red on defense and running backs of

335
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver as well, and if the quarterback leaves well short,

336
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: they got nothing greens right by the way, their offensive

337
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: line came in at three point six, I'm not quite

338
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: sure how that happened. That's too high. That's too high.

339
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: Who's your left tackle? I mean they get greens at

340
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: safety and linebacker. I'm cool with that, at same with

341
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: tight end and quarterback. I'm cool with that. But then

342
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: everything else is a red. Yeah. I think they're offensive

343
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: line is overrated. Doo um yeah uh. Moving on to linebacker,

344
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers come in at one point eight. I would

345
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: be below average on linebacker. Yeah, I'm fine with that.

346
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Let's get us see these guys play, um the teams

347
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: ahead of them there, well, let's let's go. Let's go behind.

348
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: That'll be a little fit. So you get the as

349
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: we mentioned, the Eagles at point three, m the Cowboys

350
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: at point nine. Yeah, I mean that's not common. Parsons

351
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: the Chargers at one point five. Agreed. The Browns at

352
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: one point nine. Yeah, yeah, they basically have one guy Jay, Okay,

353
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: but that's other than that, who's one very undersized guy.

354
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: The Jets at one point four. The Vikings are Mosley

355
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: and Williams and that, but okay. The Vikings at one

356
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: point six, pretty too, they signed somebody decent. Kendrick is gone. Yeah.

357
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: You got the Lions at point six, The Giants at

358
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: one point three, The Seahawks at one point zero. Look

359
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: at Seahawk defense. Wow, red red red red, like really

360
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: like one point three one point zero, one point zero

361
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: point nine, and they might all the eight rank defense

362
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: on that. That might be that might be too too

363
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: good at safety as well. Right, Jamal Adams? They made

364
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: the kid from the Giants love. I thought it might

365
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: for him, but I don't love Jamal Adams. No, no, no,

366
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: In fact, I put him at linebacker. Um. You got

367
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders at point four, the Falcons at point eight,

368
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: the Titans at point five. The Titans are at the

369
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: bottom of a lot of this stuff. Uh, the Rams.

370
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: Look at the Rams defense, Oh my god, why that's

371
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: why we did power ranks. I'm like, why aren't the

372
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Rams lower. I know that quarterback, they have like four

373
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: good players and holes everywhere I mentioned, I'm writing this

374
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: team's needs. They get a two point eight on a

375
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: defensive line because of their because of Aaron Donald, and

376
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: then their point one is the rest of the way

377
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: across the board at all the other positions bad as

378
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: you can get worst in the league, every position except

379
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. That's their defense. And they don't have a

380
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: pick in the first round. Aaron and the Donalds, and

381
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: that's it, right, they have one good defensive players. Oh

382
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: my god, is that bad? Yeah, that's right. Quarterback Steelers.

383
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: Steelers coming at one point five at cornerback, I'm on

384
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: on that's where I would have them. I think they're

385
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: gonna draft one high. Yeah, even if they had signed

386
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: resigned Cam Shutton, I don't know or something. Yeah, I

387
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: don't know that it change things dramatically there. Uh. The

388
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: teams behind them, the Vikings at point eight, the Ravens

389
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: at one point oh is surprising, while Peters is on

390
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: the team at the moment, but they use draft picks

391
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: after draft pick after draft pick on that and they

392
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: still Marlon Humphrey right right, No, it should be higher.

393
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, it should be higher considering what

394
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: they've invested. The forty nine Ers at one point three,

395
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals at point three. That Cardinals defense is nothing

396
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: to write home about either, lockers and safety and everything

397
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: else is right red. Yeah, the Giants at one point one,

398
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: the Seahawks at point nine, the Bears at point six.

399
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. The Patriots are at one point eight.

400
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: They're just ahead of the Steelers. The Commanders are one

401
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: point four. That Raiders defense is nothing five, Max Batchen

402
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: the Crosbies. Yeah right, but it's similar to the Rams.

403
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: One star and a bunch of problems. You get the

404
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: Titans defense at one point six, the Colts defense at

405
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: point four at cornerback, and then the Rams at point one.

406
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: Yeah uh, and then it's safety. The Steelers come in

407
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: at three point three. The Rams average on when they

408
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: when you factor out the Rams when you wait it,

409
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: their defense as a whole is point three. Yes. Unbelievably bad. Yeah,

410
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: unbelievably bad. Take In other words, take the under on whatever.

411
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what their victory total is going to be.

412
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: Maybe Vegas catches up with that, but they're they're not

413
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: a good football team. How many games of staff are

414
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: gonna play right up and Donald to get traded at

415
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: the deadline, and you know they'll they'll won't win again.

416
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: Right now, the Steelers get a three point three. It's

417
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: safety and that's without Edmonds. That was basically you know,

418
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: Minka and Kaz. Yeah, yeah, I might even be higher.

419
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think people are looking into the

420
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: third and fourth safeties as much as you and I are.

421
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: But it's a pretty good pair. Yeah. So if you're

422
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: looking at the team's ranked ahead of them, You've got

423
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at three point four, okay, you got the built,

424
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: the Bills at four point zero. They brought player back,

425
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: that player back. Yeah. You got the Ravens at three

426
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: point six, even trading Chuck Clark. I mean those two

427
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: are pretty strong. It's kind of a projection though. For Hamilton.

428
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean he didn't he played the slot

429
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: last year. He didn't play safety. He got the Saints

430
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: at three point nine, okay, right behind him or the

431
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: forty nine is at three point zero, the Seahawks at

432
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: three point five. I disagree with that one. I mean again,

433
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: I like I like love, I don't somebody there was

434
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: no names stepped up big for them last year, and

435
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: I can't forget he was like a fifth round pick.

436
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: That's a much better player than people think. But yeah,

437
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: Adams to me is as much of a detriment as

438
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: HEAs I think. Yeah, he can't cover me, right right?

439
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: Um you got And then the Titans, this is at

440
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: three point eight. Okay, well they they asked Buyer to

441
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: take a pay cut and he said no, So is

442
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: he gonna be a Is he gonna be a Titan

443
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: here long term? I mean guys like that, I'm sure

444
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: one out, you know, like if you're a Ram or

445
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: a Titan and you still you know, kind of like

446
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: we talked about with Buckner, you know, like this is

447
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: a really bad team that's gonna take a lot, and

448
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: I'm making money and I'm gonna prime my career. I

449
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: went out of Tennessee. Yeah. The Bengals now at safety

450
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: are a point six. Yeah that's fair. I mean, we

451
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: like to tax hell a lot. But he didn't show

452
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: me anything to say that he's a winner. Yeah. So

453
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: if you look at their they're two big red areas.

454
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: They're tight end is point one, which is the worst

455
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: in the league. Bengals, you said, yeah, safety is a

456
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: point six corner for them is two point two point

457
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: eight cornerback I think is a little high for them.

458
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: I think so too. But you can find a safety

459
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: and tight end the draft you can is to be

460
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: horrible at you know. Yeah, the Bills have more red

461
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,959
Speaker 1: than you would think. Oh, I bet yeah they do.

462
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: They don't have bright red, but they have a lot

463
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: of pink. Yeah, a lot of pinks. It's all on offense.

464
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's I mean Alan is the guy,

465
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean Alan Diggs and not much else. It's a

466
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: real misnumber about that team. Yeah, the Chiefs have more

467
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 1: red than you think. They're a one point oh at

468
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: safety and a point eight at edge. Okay, you know,

469
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: obviously look at their defensive interior. Chris Jones doesn't move

470
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: the needle for them all that much. Not enough. There

471
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: are two five they need that job. Yeah, they need stuff. Yeah. Um,

472
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: So if you look at the overall grades here, the

473
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: Steelers come out at fifteenth overall. Yeah, they have the

474
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: twenty first, twenty first on defense and fourth or twenty

475
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: first on offense. Fourth on defense. It's pretty good. No,

476
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean the weaknesses on defense or linebacker in corner,

477
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: but those are both not red but pink. Yeah. You know,

478
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: you know what do we think they're going going to

479
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: address in this draft? Well, defensive interior, linebacker and cornerback.

480
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: Mhm yeah right, this defense could be one after the

481
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: draft could be yeah, depending on who they add and

482
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: where you know where they where they picked those guys

483
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: at and the one point the one point three for

484
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: pickte on offense or on defense? Really, I don't he

485
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: has a four oh at corner Yeah, I don't know

486
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: about that linebacker three eight in the interior. No world weaknesses.

487
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that's what the Dolphins defen Steelers day,

488
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: I would not. Yeah, and he's a Bills two on

489
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: defense maybe, yeah, I mean there's no super weak this.

490
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: Hear that they have a two point three at linebacker. Um,

491
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: the Niners are third, but corners really ragging them down. Yeah,

492
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: well it is for the Steelers as well, you know. Yeah,

493
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: side he is a two oh for Niners. Edge with

494
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 1: the defensive player of the year. Yeah, and Armstead's kind

495
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: of an edge. And I mean I know they lost

496
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: like Kuban and those dudes, but boss a stud Well,

497
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: the Lions get a two point nine there, but edge

498
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: at edge you think the Lions would give every edge

499
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: player they have for both It's good. But yeah, right,

500
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: like Bosa. So this will all change obviously after the

501
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: depending on what happens here. Just judging against the league though,

502
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: But fifteenth and they should be better at quarterback this

503
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: year if he gets going up there. Yeah. Yeah. Again.

504
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: The offensive line is another spot where I look at

505
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: and say, okay, they should be better. Depth is better,

506
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: left guards better, Yeah, and then linebacker will be better

507
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: than what it was last year. I think m hm, um,

508
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: cornerback it goes is going to be better than last year. Yeah,

509
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: and I still think they signed this again he had

510
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: add Taylor wrapped to the safety room mhm or justin

511
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: Houston to the edge room or something like that somebody. Yeah,

512
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: even putting Bud in the edge room. I mean, is

513
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: that they sign. If they signed Bud Dupree tomorrow, they

514
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: get a better They get a better pass rush on

515
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: the edge than the Vikings than most teams. The Vikings

516
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: I did think they do as we sit here right now. Anyways. Yeah,

517
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: that's one of the ones I didn't like because they're

518
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: way too high in the Vikings edge guys. Yeah, but

519
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: it's a good it's a. It's a good way to

520
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: look at the league. All fans like to look at this, well,

521
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: we stink here, we stink there. I think when you

522
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: start comparing your team to what other teams have, and

523
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: then you look at the big picture at every position,

524
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: because football is not just about the stars, right right right,

525
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: it's about the it's about the big picture, then I

526
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: think you get a much clearer look at what your

527
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: team is. So along those lines, looking at quote, the

528
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: Steelers weaknesses, the lowest grade they get at any position

529
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: is one point three, which is quarterback, which is twenty

530
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: eight percent of year grade. I bet by mid season

531
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: Mike Clay would have Picket as a two oho, you know,

532
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: as an average quarterback. But again, that arrow's going up.

533
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: It's his second year. Yeah, and whereas with some of

534
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: these other teams, it's you know what's short and love

535
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: what is Jared Jared Goff has been a roller coaster

536
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: ride throughout his career with clients. You know, the Seahawk.

537
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: We talked about Geno Smith in a previous segment. They're

538
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: going different directions he and PICKT And I don't know

539
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: how you give the Cardinals at two nine. Their guys

540
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: are not going to play for a while. Yeah, So

541
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: it's it's all relative if you look at it. The

542
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: Steelers were one of four teams that ended up with

543
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: an overall grade at two point one. Yeah. You had

544
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, the Saints, the Steelers, and the forty nine

545
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: or surprisingly with the Lions right behind them at two

546
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: point zero. Yeah. So where I was going with that though,

547
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: is I wonder how many teams lowest grade is one

548
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: three year better. The Steelers worst grade is one three,

549
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: and it happens we have the most important position. Yeah,

550
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: I have to go up. I bet most teams have

551
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: under have a one two or worse somewhere across the

552
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: board pretty much. I'm looking at this. Yeah, I mean

553
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are at point five and point six running

554
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: back in tight end, I mean like the top five team,

555
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: top four teams all have a bright red one. Yeah, two,

556
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: the Bills are. The Bills are at one point three

557
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. That's their lowest score, so they're one.

558
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: The Chargers are one point three at tight end. That's

559
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: their low that's their low yeah. Yeah, you get the

560
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: Broncos at one point four is their low score, by

561
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: the way, three at quarterback I have no idea the

562
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: Broncos are too high because I mean, without a doubt,

563
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: like he has them as the twelfth best offense based

564
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: on what right, I mean, Wilson's bad even even putting

565
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: them there at wide receiver like right, their guys haven't

566
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: done it at the NFL level. You think you think

567
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: they might be good, they'd love to trade one or

568
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: two of those guys. Yeah, um, you get the Yeah,

569
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm just looking here real quick. Uh the Jets come

570
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: into point eight there, Uh yeah, yeah, I mean there

571
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: aren't many teams that that have the weakness above a

572
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: one point five right right right their lowest weakness, So

573
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean they're not in bad shape. And you're gonna

574
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: add to that, you know, if you had a first

575
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: round cornerback to that, to that, to that room, you know,

576
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: just bumping up even more. That's going to say the

577
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: three lowest grades of Steelers have our Pickett who everyone

578
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: in the world will say, at least it's going, you know,

579
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: the right direction corner, which I can almost guarantee you

580
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: want it. They're going to use a top fifty pick

581
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: on a corner. Doesn't mean you'll be a star from

582
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: day one, but that that position should get better. And

583
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: then oh line, which I frankly disagree with, especially after

584
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: the signings, is their third biggest weakness. Yeah, because it was.

585
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: It was the twelfth best line in the league last year. Right,

586
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: If so, the Dolphins are ranked right ahead of them

587
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: at one point eight. I don't know that I'm trading

588
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers line for the Dolphins line. No healthy Armstead,

589
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: but that helps, but yeah, yeah, right, you know you're

590
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: trading the who else is are just ahead of them?

591
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: The Panthers offensive lines at two point one. I like that.

592
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: I like that group, as you know, do I want

593
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: to spend the money that you're paying that. I mean

594
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 1: Taylor Moulton's making money. Yeah, escape them up Bozeman money

595
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: again too. So it's all about the bill as well.

596
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: Areas the weakest areas for the team. The Steelers are ascending, right,

597
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: that's the big point, right, And you hope Cam Hayward

598
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: doesn't fall off the wall or you know, yeah, and

599
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: I think I think you want to add to that

600
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: room this year as well. In the draft, so so

601
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: written the middle of the pack. And you know, again,

602
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: if the quarterback takes the steps that you think he

603
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: might be able to take. You're better than that. Yeah,

604
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean honestly, if he gets to a two oz,

605
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: because it's twenty eight percent of your grade, that probably

606
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: puts the tenth. Yeah, now you're now you're in the

607
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: mix the highest the highest graded teams are at two

608
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: point nine and you're a two point one. Right again,

609
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: if your quarterback takes that step that you expect him

610
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: to take a year two, you're up in that group. Yeah.

611
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: If your quarterbacks not your weakest link, even if it's average,

612
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: you're not far. By the way, how did the Browns

613
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: get a two point eight at quarterback? Speaking of based

614
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: on one? He based on what he showed last year.

615
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: His tape has not been good. His tape hasn't been

616
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: good now for four hundred and fifty days or no,

617
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: it's more than that. He would there were seven hundred

618
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: days he was off right, Yes, so almost a thousand

619
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: days he has not had good quarterback tape. Yeah, like

620
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty days. Whatever it is, right, that's

621
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: a lifetime in the NFL. That's a lot, a lot,

622
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: a lot of bad tape out there of of DeShawn Watson.
