1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Brown's assistant general manager and vice president of player Personnel,

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Glenn Cook joins us in studio. Thank you very much

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: for joining us.

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: Thank you guys, I'm here.

5
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: So what what changes when you start out with a plan?

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: I take it last night and then you gotta wait

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: till seventy four to make it make a pick? How

8
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: much of the plan changes as you as your wait

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: for seventy four to come around.

10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: It's constantly moving, you know, it's it's it's a long

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: way down to seventy four, but kind of it's funny

12
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: like once it got to the end of the second round,

13
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: we felt like we were in a good spot, so

14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 2: end up being good. It wasn't too long of a wait.

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: I thought we were going to pick about ten o'clock tonight,

16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: So yeah.

17
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: It definitely is a long process that get dragged. Now

18
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: did y'all ever think about moving up at any point?

19
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: I mean you can, Yeah, you consider you consider everything, right,

20
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: Like you kind of see how the board's falling, and

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: you know, we have a good sense of what other

22
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: teams may be targeting, so we kind of consider it

23
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: both ways. Honestly, Yeah, moving up, moving down, depending on

24
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: once we got closer to our pick, but we kind

25
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: of set it on you know, the big guy from Tennessee. Yeah,

26
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: you know, we ended up feeling good to just sit

27
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: and pick.

28
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 4: And you guys had experience with this last year when

29
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 4: you trade out of the second round, didn't pick it

30
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: your first pick and you got mj Emerson. So just

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 4: looking incredibly productive. Obviously in twenty twenty one you mentioned

32
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: that he had that injury, but size, some speed, certainly

33
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 4: can win vertically, knows how to win in the end

34
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 4: zone and contested catch situations. And then you know, I

35
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 4: wo looked up at his game logs from twenty one,

36
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty plus against Alabama, two hundred against Georgia,

37
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 4: which had that unbelievable defense which now resides in Philadelphia.

38
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 4: What did you guys see in twenty one that you said, Okay,

39
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 4: this can be the guy. And what did you see

40
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 4: even in twenty two that said this is the guy

41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 4: for us?

42
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: Things? You just said, no, I mean, it's just I

43
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: think you know a guy like him that he's six three,

44
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: two fifteen. Sometimes you have to probably assess the bigger

45
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: receivers a little bit differently, and so you know, we

46
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: take that into consideration. But the dude's really talented. Were

47
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: really excited. You know, this league is a big man's

48
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: league as we know it, and you know, playing in

49
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: the SEC against the guys he was going against in

50
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: the plays he made, I think he he put on

51
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: film you know what he could potentially do on this level.

52
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: And so you know the size, the speed, but you know,

53
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: you wouldn't want to take away his ability to run

54
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: routes at his size and get open and be fluid

55
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: and separate. So, like I said, I think Kevin has

56
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: a pretty good plan. He's really excited. Yeah, you know,

57
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: to added body like this to to our team, and

58
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: you never have enough receivers and enough guys who can

59
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: make plays for really good quarterbacks. So you know, the

60
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: stars aligned on this.

61
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 4: One when you look at our pass catching group as

62
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: a whole. Now you've got some size, obviously with Tillman

63
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 4: DPJ six to two, Amari's over six feet, then he

64
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: got the tight ends. The chief of six four six

65
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: five Akens is six y four, can run and can jump,

66
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: and then you've got good one who can flat fly

67
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 4: a little bit smaller, and then Eliz Moore could do everything,

68
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 4: even though it's a little bit smaller. Was that kind

69
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 4: of you now have such a diversity in size and

70
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 4: skill set? Is that kind of it feels like it's

71
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 4: an arms race in the AFC. You look around the

72
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 4: teams that can score. Is that kind of part of

73
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: the idea there to this?

74
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: You just want to do enough to be able to

75
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: win the game that week, right, and every week is

76
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: going to be different. Some weeks we're gonna give it

77
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: a Chubb who we love to give the football to

78
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: thirty times. You're gonna need to grind it out when

79
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: the winds blowing fifty miles power. Then there's gonna be

80
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: some weeks where you got to get a shotgun on

81
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: third and seven a bunch of times and complete passes

82
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: and convert third downs and throw the football down the field.

83
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: So as diverse as you can be, and as many

84
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: tools in your tool toolbox that you can have to

85
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: win week to week. I think you see see that

86
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: carry football teams deep into the playoffs, which is where

87
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: we're trying to get.

88
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: What were the personal things about him that sold you

89
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: on this young man, Cedric Tillmo.

90
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: You know he's got NFL pedigree, obviously with his father

91
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: being an NFL receiver. But honestly's just speaking to him

92
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: as a young man. He's exceptional. You know. Kevin talks

93
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: about smart, tough, accountable, resilient team. He embodies every single

94
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: one of those things. I think he garners his respect

95
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: a little differently just by you know, more so being

96
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: a doer than a speaker. But uh, you know, we

97
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: started there and you just fall in love with the

98
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: young man on the you know, our meeting at the

99
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: COMBA and the thirty visit, just every every step of

100
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: the way. He's someone as a person you want to

101
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: add to the group. And then obviously the on field

102
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: that's just extrajuicing sauce to the you know, to the meal.

103
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: So I think all those things, and you know, potentially

104
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 2: even more. He's still young, he's still growing, and hopefully

105
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: he brings the style and version of leadership you know,

106
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: to that group and to our team eventually that you want.

107
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 3: I like the fact that he only had like five

108
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: drops in the season. That's uh, that's something that we

109
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: can use. How do you see him and Deshaun getting

110
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: together and jeling on the field.

111
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: You know, hopefully it Jael's pretty good. You know, I

112
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: think John DeShawn knows how to distribute the football. You know,

113
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: he knows how to get it to the guys who

114
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: can make plays. And so you know, if Sad earns it,

115
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: and I think he's going to come in and try

116
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: to earn some playing time. If he earns it, I

117
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: think Deshawna will really be happy with what he can do.

118
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: You know, I don't like making comparisons, but you know,

119
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: I think his skill set marries up pretty well what

120
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: Deshaunka do
