WEBVTT - Drive Time: Dolphins Rookie Class Review with Kyle Crabbs 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:13.200 What is up Dolphins and welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.919 I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and on today's show, 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.000 one last show before the conference championship games, we'll go 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.560 ahead and preview those. I have a list of my 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.560 quarterbacks one through thirty two I want to get through. 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.720 We'll talk about the coaching carousel across the NFL, and 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.800 we'll finally get to some Dolphins information. On this podcast, 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.360 Kyle Krabs joins me to talk about the Senior Bowl 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.840 and the Shrine Bowl, as well as the Dolphins Rookie 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.360 Clash from twenty twenty four. All of that and more 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.120 from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:44.800 This is. 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:53.239 The Draft Time Podcast. Big Weekend Ahead. Juice Crew in 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:57.240 search of back to back Wiffle Blast championships will be 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.880 three out of four years if we can get that done. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.160 And we did combine with the Dolphins team, which probably 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:04.920 should have been a part of for the last few years, 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.760 but hey, you know, Jews paid the nil deal was 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.080 hirer for you boy, so went to Jews Crew. We 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.440 combined the teams this year because both teams lost like 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.640 half of our roster. So we're combining forces and hopefully 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:20.360 winning another championship here for Jews crew. So before we 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.600 get into anything today, I wanted to spend some time 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.800 going around the league and talking about coaching changes and 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.880 quarterbacks and start with the former there as there were 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.840 seven openings heading into this hiring cycle, and I'm recording 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.880 this maybe a little bit too early on a Wednesday 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.319 afternoon could come back and bite me in the butt 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.200 to have to retape this. But as of this moment, 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.560 we have four of the seven no No, No one two, 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.080 three of the seven vacancies field. It feels like it 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.480 usually happens earlier this time of year, doesn't it. And 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.440 it's funny watching the Bears and Lines discourse heat up, 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.720 and I'm so excited to watch that rivalry next year 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.800 with Ben Johnson taking the trip over to Chicago, like 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.680 the day after they lost a divisional round football game 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.600 that they were supposed to win by double digits or 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.560 close to it. And you know, the Bears argument is like, oh, 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.160 the Lions have never had a coordinator worth plucking and 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.160 now they don't understand how this works, and the Lions 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.640 just saying this dude was putting together Dennis Allen on 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.639 his staff before, like he already had him agreed to 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.840 the staff by Monday, so that clearly happened before the 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.000 game on Saturday. It's tricky, man. This is why another 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.119 reason why it is so so so tough to win 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.400 in this league and to win championships. And you know, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.400 Dan Campbell had the comment last year and they lost 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.919 the Niners in the NFC championship game. 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:38.760 We might never make it back to that game. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.080 And it seemed like that was ridiculous on the heels 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.760 of going into a home divisional round playoff game as 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.520 nine and a half point favorites. But I don't know, man, 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.639 Jared Goff kind of flamed out. You're gonna lose both 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:55.119 your coordinators. Can Campbell recruit two more coordinat like? Interesting stuff? 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.600 He Maybe he's right. I tend to think that his 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.440 culture and that roster alone will be good to get 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.160 them back into contention in that NFC North again. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.360 But hey, that might be their best chance. You never know. 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.680 Tricky, tricky league, man. And speaking of this, we saw 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.640 two coaches in the AFC East change as the Patriots 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.200 made the move to Mike rabel I talked about it 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.200 a little bit on the Wednesday Show. I think I 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.680 think Rabel's a good higher I think this idea that 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.200 pairing Rable with Drake May is an automatic ten wins 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.600 in two years is a little bit much for my taste. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.400 That roster has a long. 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.600 Long way to go. Remember last year when who was it? Shoot? 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.320 Who was the guy that was rumored to be that 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.840 was gonna be moved? Oh Man bad podcasting just sitting 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:42.640 on the air. Who the hell was that he was 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.520 gonna go to the ste Brandon Ayuk? Remember Brandon Ayuk 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.720 was rumored to be on the trade market and he 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.080 was like, I ain't going to the Patriots. I feared 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.880 that could happen for the Patriots this upcoming season as 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.760 well as watch I'll probably signed t Higgins and he'll 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.760 go play with Drake May and be excited. I just 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.600 think it's gonna be multiple off seasons before I Veryabel 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.040 could even have the roster in place to compete. I 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.120 do fear that he kind of has a beat on 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.440 Tua's game and how to take away some of the 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.480 stuff that Tua does well. So that's something to keep 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.280 an eye on. And then Aaron Glenn like, I don't 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.080 think Tyree Hill's going to be here next year, but 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.520 I think the Dolphins can still really destroy man coverage, 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.920 and if he wants to implement this, you know, with 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.040 Sauce and DJ Reid and Michael Carter, I imagine that 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.680 aggressive style won't change. So press man coverage makes me 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.280 think that the Dolphins will have answers because Tua tends 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.280 to chew apart man coverage with the skill set that 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.960 he has here. So those two guys interesting hires, both 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.120 defensive coaches coming off defensive coaches who replace defensive coaches 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.960 in a league where pretty much everyone's going on the 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.840 offensive route, the Jaguars are down to the possibility of 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.920 Liam Cohen and Robert Salah and maybe some other names. 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.800 To me, Cohen's the best option there. But either way, 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.640 you're keeping a GM that has has a track record 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.240 of being terrible, like what Dolphins fans think that Chris 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.880 Career is. And you know he's got his flaws, obviously, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.359 but he's also done a lot of good for this roster. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.120 That's what Trent Balky has been for years, going back 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.280 to the Niners. Is I don't get it. I think 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.159 it's destined to fail because of that. So best of 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.479 luck to whoever takes that job, and if Anthony Weaver 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.039 goes to the Saints, I hope that Salah doesn't get 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.880 that job so he can come down here and hopefully 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.279 be our DC as kind of my top option to 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.880 fill the potential vacancy that has been left there by 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.120 Anthony Weaver. And I left that part in the show 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.920 because I recorded it on Wednesday, and literally two hours later, 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.600 the news came down that the Jaguars fired Trent Balky 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.359 and so Liam Cohen had told the Jags that he 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.320 was not going to take the head coaching job, removed 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.280 himself from contention for that job to stay on as 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.640 the OC for the Buccaneers. 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.320 Like what are you doing? 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.880 Man? Like this guy cost you a chance to get 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.880 Ben Johnson. He cost you a chance to get Liam 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.080 Cohen and now you're going to fire him in late January? 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.320 Like this is why I always tell Dolphins fans like 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:54.359 it could be a lot worse. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:55.400 I trust me. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.039 I know I want to be playing this weekend, but 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.880 at least we're not what we used to be, and 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.400 this is what we used to be. Right, Also, jump 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.119 the gun on recording the Saints portion of the show, 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.760 I said, Anthony Weaver and Mike Kofka were the two finals, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.360 but they also have Mike McCarthy in there, Joe Brady, 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.400 and Kellen Moore, so there are options there. And again, 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.400 I really, really really hope we can keep Weave. I 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.120 think he's one of the best in the game, and 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.160 if we keep him this time around, he'll be gone 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:22.640 next year. 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.039 So one war year. I hope we get it. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:26.680 Even though I want you to be a head coach, 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.360 but you know a little bit selfishly hope you stay 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:30.760 here as well for just one more year. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:31.680 Give us one more year. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.000 Saints, I think are a tough job right now because 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.720 of the cap situation. You don't have a quarterback, you're 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.159 not picking super high in the draft. Like tough tough 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.240 spot there. For the Raiders. Ben Johnson was kind of 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.760 the hell Mary they were trying to go after. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.200 Didn't work out that way. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.919 Difficult ownership, difficult place to play, you play road games 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:54.000 seventeen times a year, no quarterback, no option to get 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.559 a quarterback with the eighth pick in the draft. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.279 Really, that's the toughest job in the league right now. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.159 Next maybe the Cowboys who are going to maybe court 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.560 Dion Sanders, who I think makes the most sense because 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.680 it's a roster that's not poor of talent. They have 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.960 their quarterback, they have a star receiver, they have studs 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.800 on defense. But man, your your GM is like, you know, 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.400 who's the who's the old brother in succession. I wasn't 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.680 a huge succession fan that the old guy that runs 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.040 for office. Like that's basically who's running the Cowboys right now. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.800 The Bears get Ben Johnson, He's gonna bring DNAs Allen 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.200 with him. I like that coaching staff. I will say, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.720 I'm always a little bit dubious of these hot shot 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.920 coordinators taking on their you know, the role as the 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.080 culture cetter. I mean, we've seen that the struggles here 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.280 with that a little bit not always being the best 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.160 in this last year kind of kind of reverting back 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.600 to old ways for the Dolphins. And Ben Johnson, there's 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.600 just something maybe a little bit off about him. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.520 I don't know if I can place it, but we'll see. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.600 I think that Caleb Williams has a long, long, long 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.480 way to go, and Ben Johnson's obviously the best option 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.600 for that, so good for them. I think that that 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.760 will be a good fit. And then uh yeah, that's 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.160 that's basically where we are. I also love the hiring 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.600 of lou An Arumo in Indianapolis. I think he was 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.840 inappropriately scapegoaded in Cincinnati. It's a big loss for them 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.680 because their personnel stunk in the Bengals man gonna be 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.360 interesting to watch the Bengals over the next ten years 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.560 because I think it's an organization that just gets in 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.800 its own way and doesn't really invest in the football operation. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.080 With one of the best quarterbacks in the league. And 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:21.000 speaking of that, I have my thirty two Power ranked 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.200 quarterbacks right in front of me. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:23.680 We're gonna go through this tier by tier. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.360 Here, I'll tell you where I cut off, where I 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.480 think kind of that next group of players is so 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.240 number thirty two we'll go bomb to top is will Levis, 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.360 Aid o'connells thirty one, Drew Locke is thirty, Jamis Winston's 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.679 twenty nine, Caleb Williams is twenty eight, Derek Carr and 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.240 Russell Wilson twenty seven and twenty six, respectively. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.360 That's where I have a cutoff, and those are the 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:44.960 guys that I just don't see it. 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.000 I think that all but one of those guys will 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.360 not be a starter next year, and that'll be Caleb Williams. 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.840 I was dubious about Caleb's college tape. I think that 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.240 when you run backwards away from pressure, it's gonna be 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.880 tough for you. I think that the cool highlight plays 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.840 that get fourteen year olds excited are not what wins 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:01.880 in the National Football League. We'll see if he can 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.960 piece that together. But everybody else in that list, to me, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.440 is not worth talking about. And the first guy my 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.680 next tier is someone that broke out of that list 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.360 and I think has a bit of a chance. I 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.160 won't put a lot of stake into it. I think 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.000 he'll be a middle of the world quarterback at best. 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.440 But Bryce Young at number twenty five. Dave Canalis did 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:19.800 a great job there with him, and I think that 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.319 he showed you some patience and poise and accuracy down 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.360 the field. But I still think there's enough flaws in 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.560 his game vision wise, timing, wise, strength and si all 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.559 the stuff that goes into that I think will be 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.960 a challenge for Bryce Young. The next guy is like, 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.719 you're gonna have to find a way to coach this 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.880 guy into being a better football player. He's gonna go 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.080 do the Tom House stuff that Josh Allen did, but 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.120 Anthony richardson twenty four. I've got bo Nicks at twenty three, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.440 Drake May at twenty two, Trevor Lawrence at twenty one, 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.000 and then Sam Donald at twenty rounds out the next 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.000 tier there. I don't think Sam's gonna be long for 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.400 like a premier starter in this league. I think he 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.440 caught fire with the right system and the right program 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.560 there and kind of, you know, turned into a pumpkin 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.400 in the two biggest games of the year. I think 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.599 that's more indicative of who he is compared to the 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.959 other big games he had. Trevor Lawrence I just think 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.720 is too robotic. I don't think it matters enough to him. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.640 I think he'll consistently be in this range between like 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.640 fourteen and twenty. Drake May huge fan of the upside. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.679 I think he played really well this year, but they 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:16.920 have a long way to go, and I think that 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.680 he has to see it better and hit layups more, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.240 which he probably will, and he'll probably move with this 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.520 list more than just about anybody else. Bo Nix I 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:27.160 still reserve some reservations about this guy. Had some fun 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.240 plays and some big moments. But in terms of playing 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.840 on time, within you know, within the offense, and the 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.880 ability to really run a high, high level offense, it's 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.800 not super quarterback friendly. I like the creativity he featured 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.920 at times last year, but I think that he's probably 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.120 at his ceiling. I don't think he'll really improve much 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.400 as we go along, which it's, you know, is a 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.960 good baseline level to get to the early round playoff games, 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:50.680 but going beyond that, I don't know if that's in 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.880 his bag. The next year starts with Geno Smith, and 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.160 then I have Michael Pennix at eighteen, which is probably 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.200 gonna be the biggest pushback I get on this list. 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.960 I'm a huge believer in my penex and what he 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.760 can do. I think the accuracy and poise and drive 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.319 in the football, the way he can whip that thing 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.760 is going to really really help him thread some tight windows. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.360 Aaron Rodgers is next. I think that he fell off, 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.400 but man, some of those games he played against US, 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.000 there is still that high level competitor, that kind of 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.000 just high level processing. He really wins the game between 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.800 the ears, and there's still enough there physically to be 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.360 in this position. Brock Purdy is the cutoff of the 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.680 tier right there at number sixteen. I think you saw 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.840 what happened when he lost his weapons. It was not 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.800 like Tua, who still threw for you know, three hundred 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:31.960 yards and scored thirty points against the Jets about Tyreek 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.000 two years ago. Purdy, I think, is a little bit 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.840 more chaotic and unpredictable, and that has him right in 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.760 the middle of the pack. And then and then I'll 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.760 go like Penex is gonna blow by him this year, 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:46.040 and then with the next tier, Jalen Hurts kicks it off. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.120 The fact that the Eagles don't have a competent passing 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.920 game makes me worried about Jalen Hurts. It's the best 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.640 roster in the NFL. They run the ball better than 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:53.959 anybody else. They get the ball back to him, and 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.720 they give him short fields. The special teams is always 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.280 really good. They are loaded. And Hurts is a dynamic 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.559 runner and tough and a good leader. But man, the 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:05.600 same passing issues that I saw on his tape back 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.600 at Oklahoma are still there in Philadelphia, and he's not 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.080 getting the ball out to those guys accurately or on time. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.640 It takes way too many big sacks Kyler Murray is next, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.320 and this is the guy that I probably could drop further, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.800 but the elite playmaking is all just so tantalizing with 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.680 his player. I'm curious if he's one of those guys 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.880 that gets moved this offseason, but he falls into the spot. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.839 Jared Goff took a pretty big stumble after some of 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.760 the big games he played this year, which is the 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.000 same knock. Obviously you'll hear on Tua, but I just 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.000 think that he's gonna regress and losing Ben Johnson. I 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:33.959 think we'll reveal more about this player than we actually 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.480 than we currently know. Justin Herbert is next. Everything you 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.120 want physically just doesn't play on time, doesn't see it, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.679 takes big sacks and melts in the big moments. The 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.600 way I talked about how everyone thinks that you know, 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.560 what everyone thinks of Chris career is what Trent balk is, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.960 what everyone thinks of two is actually what Justin Herbert 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.640 is in a lot of ways. Eleven Baker Mayfield career year. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.040 Just love everything he's about. I wish we could kind 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.320 of insert that dog into all of our players. Dak 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.520 Prescott's number ten miss most of the year with injury, 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.880 but still high processing, arm strength, escapability. He was one 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.840 of the best scramblers in the league last year. They 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.880 covered that in Hard Knocks. He is still an elite player. 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.520 I have CJ. Stroud at number nine. I thought he 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.559 played really well in the playoffs. He got dogged for 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.240 the points at scored against the Chiefs, but there were 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.760 some high level anticipation throws, getting the ball out hot 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.120 against pressure. Played in a really bad situation this year. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.720 The offense didn't really evolve, the offensive line was bad, 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.200 he lost several of his weapons. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:23.959 I like c J. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.480 Stroud number eight, where I put to He's got to 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.960 perform better in bigger moments, obviously, but I think that 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.360 some of the that is overblown. I think he has 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.400 played well in some of the big games, not all 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.000 of them, because hey, guess what, nobody plays great in 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.840 all the big games, because that's why they're big games 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.840 and they're tough. That's why Josh Allen goes nine for 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.960 thirty against the Houston Texans. So I have two in 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.960 this spot. I think that's probably about his capped out ceiling. 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:47.640 He could jump the next couple of guys in this 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.680 list and be, you know, a top five or six quarterback, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.000 but I like him in this spot. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.760 I have Jordan Love at number seven. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.400 That's going to come with some pushback over to of 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.560 fans and probably people that don't think that highly of 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.600 Jordan Love. But I think that his physical skill set 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.680 and his toughness and his ability to kind of grind 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.360 things out played through a lot of injuries this year. 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.160 I really like Jordan Love's game. Matthew Stafford checks it 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.040 at number six. I just think that the old CAG 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.400 veteran plays his best when the moment is the biggest 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.319 and he's got all the arm angles and athletic ability 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.680 and big time processing. We'll see if he stays up 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.480 here at this age because he's kind of loan. The 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.839 odd man out in terms of his age in this group. 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.640 Number five is Jaden Daniels. He is not a rookie 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:25.120 on tape. Like Pik Fangio said, this guy's electric elite runner, 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.840 elite processor, which is the most important thing. You pair 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.640 those two things together, it's unstoppable football. Joe Burrow number four, 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.480 Lamar Jackson number three, and then my two and one. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:36.480 I feel like this. 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.400 Is gonna be what you do with Tom Brady years ago, 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.360 where you'd look back and be like, well, Brady was 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.200 always number one, even though you try to move him 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.920 off that spot all the time. I'm going Mahomes number two, 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.000 and I think Josh Allen right now is the best 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.800 quarterback in the league. I just think that the physical 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.920 skill set, the running ability of the design runs on 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:53.880 third down they go to with him frequently. He can 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.680 game manage and they're happy to do that and win 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.040 football games. But when you need to need to play like, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.440 that's the guy, right he He's the freaking guy. Josh 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.560 Allen number one quarterback for me in the league right now. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.560 Let's go ahead and preview Josh Allen number one versus 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.840 number two, Patrick Mahomes here next on the Draft Time Podcast, 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.720 take a look at the division, or rather the championship games. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.200 Eagles and Commanders will do Chiefs and Bills, and we'll 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.640 try to get Kyle Crabs on the podcast here after 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.160 all of that. That's coming up next Draft Time Podcast, 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.600 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by I don't 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:29.720 know shit. It is once again championship weekend in the NFL. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:34.280 Commanders and Eagles. Your three o'clock kickoff Bills and Chiefs 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.440 your six thirty kickoff and not gonna be pins. 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:39.320 And needles for that one. Before I get. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.000 Into this Commander's and Eagles game to kick off the day, 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.400 I want to shout out somebody on X who I 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.280 think made the post of the year. Quite frankly, even 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.120 though it's only January twenty second, I do not believe 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.800 that post will be topped. He is at Fincane his 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.800 title name or whatever you call that is, I ain't him, 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.320 and he has the anonymous mask on his profile with 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.640 the Dolphins hat. I thought he did a masterful job 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:06.480 of nipping to me the most annoying bit of social 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.640 media decorum in the bud though, I will say the 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.760 whole euro approach and the Dolphins lost another player who 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.760 made a play in a playoff, Okay, like that is 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.840 right up there too, but or probably worse. But for 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.120 the sake of my lead into this game, we'll say 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.720 this is the worst the people that tie everything back 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.440 to one player. And it's obviously too, but it would 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.040 be true for anybody else. A good example when we 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.280 had a bad offensive line game, it's always like Garle, 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.400 you might merv, but you know, do you actually know, 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.560 because football is a very esoteric game, it's okay to 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.640 not get at all, and especially when you just watched 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.560 the broadcast once with twelve bruskis by your side. Like 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.720 film watchers know this. You get a sense from the 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.920 game post game how you felt about it, But then 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.160 you watch the tape in your opinion can change quite 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.200 a lot, at least if you are looking for the 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.400 right things. But I don't want to get into that 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:01.120 when I want to discuss was this that Finn Caine 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:05.439 made about the Bills and Chiefs debate this week? Which, well, 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.280 what's that you haven't heard? Oh brother, get a load 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:14.800 of this. There are Dolphins fans out there open about 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.440 the fact that they want Buffalo to win this weekend 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:19.160 because they hate the Chiefs. 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.240 What what? 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.919 Actually, it's actually not having that tough to understand, because 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:29.280 you know, check to see if they have. 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:31.880 You can see where you're going with this. 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:33.520 All you have to do is go to someone's timeline 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.200 to see why they think the way they think. Right, 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.440 if there's lots of like retweets of libs of TikTok, 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.639 for instance, you can track it back to that. I 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.000 saw one guy saying that he's rooting for Buffalo because 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:46.119 of Taylor Swift, Like, okay, dude. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:47.879 Cool friggin cool. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:53.159
