We're 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.640 gonna close out with your seven round mock draft of 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.640 the Miami Dolphins. We're gonna talk about prototypes and much 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.520 much more on this edition of Draft Time. First though, Kyle, 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.280 welcome back in man. Thanks. Is that all we're covering 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.120 today is just the whole darned thing? Huh? This is 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.319 This is gonna be fun, man. This yesterday was fun. 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.040 Today is gonna be even more fun. One of my 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.640 favorite things the middle rounds of the money rounds. Chris 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.320 Crews had some good successes there. This is good class 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.400 for the always really get excited about an hour or 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.040 two before the draft starts on Friday, because you get 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.080 all that flurry of possible trade rumors, teams coming up 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:09.600 to get their guy they think fell out of the 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.480 first round that should have gone in the first round. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.479 Two rounds of drafting. It just doesn't get any better 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.919 than this. We're gonna preview all of that, but first 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.640 I would be remissed as my little girl just turned 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.280 eleven months old at last week, will be a year 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.119 here in May. It's it's gone by crazy fast. Kyle 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.920 became a new father, a girl dad as well, shortly 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.240 after I did. Kyle, how's it going for you? My 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.760 little girl's tearing the house apart because she's running around 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.959 right now. She learned how to walk quickly and then 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.880 turned it into a run very quickly. How's how's dad 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.200 life coming along for you? It's going great. It's it's 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:45.560 a new something new every single day. And uh, she 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.320 is just NonStop. And that's one of the things where 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.200 I'm incredibly blessed with what I do to to work 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.080 remotely and and be here for her every day. And 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.440 it's just very quickly become my best friend, my little 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:01.560 film buddy, and uh, the world's second and biggest Dolphins 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:07.200 fan behind you. How's your crying increased way more? I noticed, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.280 I'm so much more emotional when it comes to her, 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.760 Like my wife got me, this Father's Day book that's 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.760 like me. It's like Caroline and Me is like the 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.440 name of the book, and it's it's like a stock 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.320 book where they kind of change out the names. That's 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.960 all like you know, generic ad lib type of or 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.359 mad libs type of book. But every time I walk 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.760 into her room, I look at that book and I'd like, well, up, 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.600 you have any of that going on. I would be 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.120 lying if I said there haven't been a couple like 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:36.680 animal rescue videos on Facebook or I'll tell you one. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.160 It's It was my daughter's baptism on Sunday, and my 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:46.600 wife repurposed her wedding dress to create my daughter's dress 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.760 for her baptism. And when I first saw the picture 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.040 at the end of last week of my little girl 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.880 wearing this tailored dress of my wife's wedding dress, that 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.320 was one that definitely got me. Okay, let's regroup here, 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.360 let's get it back together. Let's yeah, we're gonna have 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.040 to just go off of that topic because I can't 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.680 handle it. I literally cannot handle this. Let's let's get 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.040 back into the draft and talk about some more manly stuff. 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.040 You know, we're man here, We beef Jerky we we 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.840 we go on riverboat gambling trips. But I want to 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.080 talk about the running back position to start this off 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.000 because we're here at pick thirty six. If you didn't 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.120 catch the Tuesday, I think episode of Draft Time here 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.240 we talked about the first round, the off season so 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.040 far to date. Plenty of good content in that podcast, 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.480 and again, if you guys are not familiar, Kyle Crabs 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.359 and Locked on Dolphins Podcast Daily does a great job 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.440 with that over there, as well as writing a bunch 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.120 of stories every single day for Dolphins Wire and of 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.320 course the Draft Network where those guys are just kicking 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.240 as this time of year, every single year and year round. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.440 But pick number thirty six, we talked about this on 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.520 the pick portion of the previous podcast, how the running 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.880 back position has changed as far as the way it's 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.080 perceived across the NFL where it gets drafted, and we 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.960 talked about this possible run at the beginning of round 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.720 two with Jacksonville on the Jets. To me, that pick 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.480 with the Jets has Travis E. T N written all 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.080 over it. At pick thirty six, are we gonna get 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:08.800 a crack at one of these top running backs? And 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.880 if we do not is there anybody that makes sense 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.680 at that spot at the running back position. So if 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.279 none of the perceived top three, and that's generally the 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.760 consensus as those the top three guys, if none of 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.120 those guys make it, you probably need to regroup. You 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.560 need to look at fifty and eighty one or decide, 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.400 you know, do we need to manufacture some additional picks 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.480 to find a better value. And the Dolphins did you know? 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.680 This is one of my big issues with with the draft. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.200 Is there so much of a con perception of bad 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.400 signings or bad trades or bad draft picks. But like 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.920 the law of averages says, you're not gonna bad a thousand, 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.320 it's impossible. So I thought the Dolphins last year they 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.960 caught a lot of flak about how the running back 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.320 run kind of caught them there in the second round 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.560 when they had some of the chances at thirty or 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.360 at thirty nine, But they still managed to go out 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.720 and get a productive player during his time in San 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.000 Francisco in matp Rita, who since moved on after the 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.200 one year deal. And when you make the amount of 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.520 volume of transactions that every NFL team makes on an 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.719 annual basis, you're not going to bat a thousand, and 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.680 I think that's one thing that I really appreciate that 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.680 the Dolphins have done, is they've embraced the volume perspective 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.960 of drafting, so that way you have more flexibility to 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:31.000 kind of pivot and adjust. UM. So, you know, I 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.360 don't think they should have any regrets for handling the 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.720 room the way that they did, even if they didn't 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.479 come out and get one of the top five rookie 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.640 running backs from last year's class. So if it plays 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.760 out that way and none of the top three perceived 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.640 backs are there at thirty six, it's not time to 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.680 pull the or push the panic button, or pull the 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.280 rip cord or anything like like. There's gonna be opportunities, 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.680 and Chris Grew will find them. He's shown through the 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.600 first two years of unquestioned control of this team that 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.440 he's going to have the ability to do that. But 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.479 as far as will we see one of them, I 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.640 feel better about it now that I did a couple 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.799 of weeks ago. UM, as far as there were teams 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.080 in the back half of the first round, a playoff contenders, 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:16.240 super Bowl contenders, UM that I had had some conversations 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.040 with that indicated that running back would be on their shortlist, 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:20.479 and it's like, well, shoot, if we get one of 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.640 these teams in the late twenties or in the thirties 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.680 that drafts one of the running backs, then the numbers 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.760 games starts to get a little scary for Miami. But 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.720 the team that I had had that conversation about has 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.440 made some transactions and added a running back to the 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.880 roster and it seems as though they're gonna go a 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.400 different directions, So that at least helps me feel a 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.039 little bit more comfortable or confident. The wild card is Jacksonville. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:44.880 If they draft Trevor Lawrence and they want to get 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.799 Travis c e t N. I know they got James 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.359 Robinson and he was productive as a runner as an 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.520 undrafted free agent, but good players shouldn't prevent you from 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.080 drafting great players. And if Jacksonville thinks Travisy t is 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.040 a great running back prospect and they want to have 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:01.720 that backfield intact from Clemson, that may be curveball that 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.680 could change things. As far as one of these three 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.640 gets to Miami thirty six. Yeah, that's a good way 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.080 to look at I didn't really consider that as an 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.120 option because of James Robinson's breakout rookie season last year 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:11.840 as a U d F. A a lot of fun 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.200 to watch him, but hey, a two headed monster also 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.400 helps you young quarterback there and Trevor Lawrence too, So 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.120 we'll we'll find out what happens come draft night. And 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.400 I really am curious to see what type of poll. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.440 You know, coach Eric Studisville has who has been up 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.960 or not upgraded promoted from running backs coach and running 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.320 game coordinator to co offensive coordinator. And you talked about 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.560 on the previous podcast yesterday about him getting production out 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.600 of Miles Gaskin in the seventh round, the addition of 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.880 Matt Brita in the fifth round last season, and now 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.160 we've got Malcolm Brown is a new addition here this 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.720 season as well. I'll be very curious see what happens 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.320 at that position. But as we move along here, you know, 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.160 we talked about receivers a lot on the podcast yesterday, 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.200 but the hitch just keep coming here Man Darius Tony, 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:57.240 Ron Del Moore, Elijah Moore, Terrence Marshall, Diamy Brown, Like, 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.760 who of these guys do you separate among? Or like 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:04.680 who separates himself as the clear cut best option at 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:06.400 this pick. How many guys do you think are and 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.560 play at pick thirty six and just kind of give 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.840 us your rundown on this. I guess second tier of 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.200 receivers and and maybe it's just me, but I would 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:15.880 put one of the guys that we have here at 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.760 fifty and Mari Rodgers in the same bucket as these 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.160 guys here that we have listed at thirty six, and 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.320 and for some of them, maybe even in front of 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.440 Terrence Marshall, is has some parallels to Davante Parker's games, 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.080 so there's, you know, a clear model of that kind 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.200 of player. But he's apparently been flagged for some medical 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:38.280 stuff at the medical checks in Indianapolis that had some 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:42.960 teams reportedly uh dinging him for medical stuff, and you 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.840 may potentially see him slide where he was in conversation. 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.760 There's a lot of wide receiver needy teams in the twenties, 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.520 so potential late first round kind of guy. But if 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.280 you ask me to pick one that I really like 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.040 out of this group, it is Elijah Moore out of 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:02.080 Old miss uh Explosive plays. That's gonna be the name 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.880 of the game anytime we're talking about wide receivers and 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.880 winning vertically down the field. And he's another speed guy 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.599 with a lot of burner ability. He's similarly built to 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.000 Jalen Waddle. So if I'm gonna pound the table for 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.040 jam Leen Waddle, there's no reason why size is gonna 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.320 determine from pounding the table. As a later option for 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.240 Elijah Moore and watching him in that lane kiff in 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.079 offense was a lot of fun to see the ways 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.600 that they got him involved, got him touching the football 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:30.600 um and I think his release package off the line 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.000 of scrimmage against press coverage. I know that was one 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.160 of the questions Travis that we talked about yesterday about 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.680 jay Len Wattle. Uh, he's gonna put you in the 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.680 blender at the line of scrimmage. And Kadarius Tony. To 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.199 be fair to Candarius Tony, he went up to the 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.400 Senior Bowl, he did the exact same thing. Uh. Those 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.920 two guys have really really rare short area quickness. So 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.600 for Miami, it's okay, do you want another big body 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.120 guy to play outside? You have two really tall guys 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.960 in Devonte Parker and Preston Williams. Do you want some 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.280 of those speedy guys to compete with you, Keen Grant 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.720 for those reps. Do you want some of those hybrid 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.840 slot type guys like Glbert Wilson coming back from opting 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.600 out and Limboden Jr. Who's probably going to be that 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.920 kind of player with his style of play. So they've 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.200 got a couple of different subsections of what this wide 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.959 receiver room looks like. Elijah More would fit into that 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.720 your Keen Graham bucket, just like Jane Watterle and Peter 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.640 Scheger came on the podcast a couple of weeks back 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.880 and talked about how he believes that can Darius Tony 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.920 and Ron del Moore are not just picking or you know, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.040 positioning for that possible fourth receiver off the board. He 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.080 thinks they might even be able to disrupt the top three, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.720 which I don't agree with, but, like you mentioned, never 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.520 say never when it comes to the NFL draft. We 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.520 have seen crazier things before the John Raw selection a 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.560 few years ago. It was a big curveball in that draft. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.120 It happens every single year. Let's and I also want 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:43.679 to go ahead and mention that I'm glad you mentioned 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.320 Elijah More. I kind of gave you a thumbs up 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.440 when you said that, because I continue to hear the 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.160 exact same things about this guy, and the more I do, 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:51.560 the more I think, I don't know if he's gonna 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.720 be there at pick thirty six. So he's got a 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.839 lot of buzz probably not being honest, probably not. Yeah, 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.440 and that's that's a bummer, because that's a good spot 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.520 to get him if you can. But maybe we don't 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.079 have to worry about that because it is a Jalen 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.199 Wall or Kyle Pitts or whatever it might be in 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.400 the top of the first round. Now, I think personally, Kyle, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.240 this is where the offensive line conversation really heats up 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:14.120 for me because you start to introduce the interior, the 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.160 interior of the offensive line with Landon Dickerson and Creed 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.880 Humphrey and Dylan Raddins. Who's a tackle But maybe you 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.480 can kick inside and maybe even Quinn minor two will 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.200 come back to maybe in the second portion of this round, Um, 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.680 Jalen Mayfield, Samuel cos Me. There's so many guys in 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.680 this class that that might go off the board in 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.960 this range. Who are the best fits? Is this a 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.800 good time to take an interior offensive lineman. Just just 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.960 talk about this offensive line class at pick thirty six 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.360 to kick off the second round. Yeah, I think this 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.800 is this is a really compelling group. And I think, 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.400 again going back to what we've seen the Dolphins gravitate towards, 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.680 I think the average weight of the ten guys that 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.040 they've brought in since the start of the two thousand 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.719 and twenty off season is three pounds. So like they 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.920 like big dudes up front, and you've got a big 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:01.640 dude in Landon Dickerson three thirty pounds owns for my money, 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.040 He's he he's gonna give you the most appeal from Miami. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.199 Uh experience working with two of talking about loa experience 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.200 in the style of offense that it seems like Miami 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.839 wants to take some of and replicate, taking what to 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.440 it did successful at Alabama and transplanting some of that over. 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.280 Very active in communication on the line of scrimmage. Uh. 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.200 And he's he fits the physical mold, but and the 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.360 medicals are super scary with him as far as he's 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.320 got a pretty extensive list of injury issues. UH that 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.360 may cause him to slip a little bit. So much 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.360 like Jalen Phillips the discussion that we had yesterday. If 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.960 you're just evaluating him off of his fit and his 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.080 style of play and his talents, Landon Dickerson is that dude, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.719 but from a medical perspective that may cause those dynamics 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.800 to change. And Creed humphrey wrestling background is super apparent 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.360 with him. I really like his ability to to work 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:01.360 across face and kind of win gaps by reaching defensive players, 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.360 and how well he uses his hands in close quarters. Uh, 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.600 you'd be hard pressed to go wrong by drafting either 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.640 one of those two, if you trust Landon Dickerson to 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.280 stay healthy, or if you're gonna pick up Creed Humphrey 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.400 and ask him to be that keystone piece in the middle. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.200 But I do think it's gonna be interesting to see 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.760 how Miami chooses to flesh out the inside. They obviously 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.680 invested so much in offensive tackle last year, and uh, 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.880 they signed Eric Flowers and and Solomon Kinley was the 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.760 mid round pick. And Okay, do you choose to not 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.679 just address that spot? Do you choose to invest in 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:36.240 inside the way that you invested in offensive tackles last year? Um? 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.400 And if they do, this is probably the spot You're 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.520 gonna have to get one of Dickerson or Humphrey, you 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.520 elso're gonna have to come back to the board later. Yeah, 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.480 And you had sent me a text awhile back about 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.480 some workout metrics and the explosion that the tracts in 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.800 comparison to this, the size of these guys, and how 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.080 that kind of has been the Dolphins mold on the 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.240 offensive line. And the other thing I would add to 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.160 that is obviously a position of versatility because beef and 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.720 and explosion explosiveness and and position verse futility have been 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.920 definite prototypes on that offensive line. So I'll be curious 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:06.040 to see how much they weigh that into the decision 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.760 if they go in the offensive line in the second round. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.120 Another position that I think is very attractive here and 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.839 at fifty is the possible edge spot, and it kind 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.319 of has that, you know, maybe the weak part of 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.280 the top of the class pushes some of these guys 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.000 down into the thirty six, maybe even to the fifty range. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.680 And I had a hard time separating thirty six to fifty. 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.000 I mean, it's only four teen picks apart, so it's 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.280 not the easiest thing to do. But the guys I 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.600 listened for you, Kyle Peyton, Turner, Greg Russo, uh Aziz, Larjolari, 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.000 Joe try On, Jason O Way, and then Carlos Basham, 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.600 who I can't. To me, I'm very confused by the 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.240 perception of Carlos Basham. To me, he's a first round 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.320 pick all day. I think that, especially for the Miami 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.480 Dolphins and what he brings. He is almost Emmanuel Ogba 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.920 light and the way he plays the game. But is 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.040 that list of guys good? How many of those guys 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.040 do you think I should bump down to fifty? And 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.160 is this a possible spot for edge to come off 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.680 the board for the Miami Dolphins. I would not be 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.320 s prized if Gregor Rousseau out of this group is 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.960 the guy that goes closest to fifty or is there 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.240 at fifty. Um did not play in twenty. For some teams, 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.400 that's gonna matter more than others. His pro day testing 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.440 he was too sixty six. He had a really good 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.280 tenure d split, but everything else he did was okay. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.800 You know, he didn't hurt himself. But he's one of 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.280 those players where so much of his success at Miami 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.720 in two thousand nineteen came on inside gaps and if 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:27.960 you can get him up to two seventy eight to 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:32.120 eighty five, I'm really excited about his potential as kind 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.360 of that hybrid defensive lineman. But if you're gonna play 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.160 him at to sixty five and ask him to rush 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.560 off the edge, I think that developmental curve from him 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.400 is significantly steeper than taking him and asked him to 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.160 do what he want at in two thousand and nineteen 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.480 is a red shirt freshman, but bash him. Yeah, late 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.600 last week that the Twitter timeline was talking about Carlos 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.520 Bashaim all day and how this guy is underappreciated and 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.720 you mentioned immanuelg But my working calm for him, I 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.720 had two names that came to mind. It was the 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.600 Boise State evaluation of Curtis Weaver, who the Dolphins draft 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.720 in the fifth round. And from an athletic profile perspective, 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.600 I think Shack Lawson's like the most immediate comparison to 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.720 the athletic profile that he presented. So those were two 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.480 Miami Dolphins right there. So he definitely fits the mold 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.440 of what Miami has looked for and gravitated towards in 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.640 the edge. Rushing group, and he's another one of those 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:30.120 guys that dominates at the line of scrimmage, wins the 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.840 point of attack. He's been very productive both in tackles 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.680 for loss and in sack production finding the football. His 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.760 sack ceiling or pass rush ceiling is not as high 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.360 as Payton turn around of Houston. It's not as high 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.440 as Joe Tronting out of Washington. It's not as high 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.080 as Jason Oa at of Penn State. But Oha played 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.320 this past year and didn't log a single sack, and 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.160 you know his athletic profiles through the roof. But he's 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.480 what we could We talked about with Quitt pay yesterday 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.360 as far as developing into your past rush plan. Oh wait, 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.000 you're almost him from square one. Uh so you might 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.600 get to that point on the board and say, hey, 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.760 we're at thirty six. We trust ourselves to develop players. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.040 The ceiling here is immeasurable. But I would probably stack 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.040 him behind guys like Carlos Basham and Joe try On 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:22.000 and even probably Peyton Turner, who is another really interesting name. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.760 He had a successful offseason campaign with what he did. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.000 Azizo Glari is the one for me that I'm a 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.520 little lukewarm on as far as he played around to 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:36.679 five to fifty um, he he would be more of 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.119 the Van Ginkle type role for me personally based on 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.159 how he wanted Georgia. But if you're drafting him and 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.480 asking him to play and take those shack loss In 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.919 type reps, um, I think they would probably go for 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.800 a guy with a little bit more size, whether it's 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.600 try On or bash him or Turner. And this this 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:55.400 position group and the way you kind of went down 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.919 that player by player, you know, not to say that 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.399 I'm sitting here from a position where I get draft 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.000 right every single year, every single pick. It's far from that. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.000 But I've just had so much difficulty this year figuring 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.639 out which groupings of these players. And maybe it is 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.720 the lack of evidence we have from this past scouting, 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.280 you know, cycle that's causing that same problem for me, 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.280 as I'm sure it is for many scouts and decision 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.440 makers alike. But I just cannot figure out which direction 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.600 you might go from here in the old. If this, 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.160 then that tree the game that I love playing this 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.840 time of year. Now. At the end of yesterday's podcast, 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.000 I teased one of your favorite players in this draft 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.320 to come up to the linebacker position here. And I've 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.240 got two guys in this list. To me, one of 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.520 them goes in the first round, the other one does not. 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.120 The one that does not is your your guy, your 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.520 bread and buddy, you're your dude. Jamon Davis is a 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.800 player I'm talking about from Kentucky with the incredible testing time. 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.560 And then Baron Browning who worked with Miami at the 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.480 Senior Bowl and coach Camp and Ellie and there was 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.560 a great segment with him coaching him up and hitting 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.080 the bag and stacking and shedding and him yelling at him. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.760 Coach Camp is a great So talk about Baron Browning 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.159 talking about Jamon Davis this linebacker spot, after all the 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.000 additions we saw but Ardrick McKinney and Duke Riley and 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.440 Bran Scarlett, is this position in play right here? And 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.159 is it? Baron Browning? If anybody, I still think that 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.280 Kyle van noy role needs to be occupied by somebody. 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.360 And whether you're gonna trust Andrew Vin Kinkle to take 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:14.840 that role totally, if you're gonna take trust him to 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.119
