Chris answered the question first, and 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.560 then Coach Flora's gave us a follow up. Yeah, he's 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.400 a very smart, instinctive football player, has been a very 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.080 productive player. You know, he's also been a punt returner. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.039 There was you know, we talked about too, But at 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:42.800 the end of the day, this guy just has a 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.120 nose for the football. But it was his football intelligence 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.040 and getting to know the kid that stood out as well. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.280 And so you know, um, I think for us, you know, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.080 going through this with Brian and so we're really excited. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.320 You know, we're nervous that this player may not get 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.080 there because you know, there are a lot of but 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.800 I really liked his player and we heard after make 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.520 to pick, we got numerous calls and texts, and so 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.600 I think for us, I'm adding a player of that caliber, 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.399 you know. You know, Brian and I were really excited, 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.560 and you know, our defensive staff it was really happy. 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.520 So we're happy to have him. And I think he's 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.280 got a good player and a good chance that to 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.280 be a good player. For us. Yeah, Javan was one 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.639 of the honestly, my my, my favorite players to watch. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:31.040 Very versatile, played inside, played safety, UM, punt return. Um. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.680 You know, I think you mentioned that Travis a lot 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.799 of ball production. So you know, we're excited to to 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.519 get him and work with him, and I think we'll 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.239 be He'll he'll be a great fit for for our team. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:42.560 I want to go ahead and pick it up on 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.240 a later question for coach Flora's back talking about Javon Holland. 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.280 Here he is talking about the skills that he loves 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.160 in the Dolphins new safeties game. I really enjoyed watching 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:57.200 this this Javan Plague. Um. And you know, for a 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.960 lot of reasons, said the way he tackled, the way 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:04.000 he defeats blocks, Um, his versatility, played some nicole, played 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.799 some deep safety. UM, there's a lot of things to like. 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.080 So UM. You know, again, I'm not into comparisons, but 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.079 I feel like he'll be a good fit for what 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.720 we do. UM. And you know, I think he's got 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:23.120 leadership qualities. I think he's got um no ability to 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.919 can communicate and really quarterback of defense because he's smart 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:32.639 and uh, I mean, I'm excited to have him, and um, 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.440 you know we'll see you know, I'll get an opportunity 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.840 and to to to earn a role on his team. 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.360 And you know, I'm hopeful that he can, you know, 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.440 feel multiple roles and if he can even handle it, 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.000 then we'll do it. And if you can't, and then 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.240 you know, we'll work with him until he can. So 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.560 and I broke down his game on the Day to 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.960 Recap podcast yesterday and full transparency. I was up until 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.440 two am watching more tape on him because I love, love, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.600 love this kid's game. Those of you that have been 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.120 with me for the whole ride with Lockdown Dolphins and 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.880 now Drive Time know that safety has been one of 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.680 my more successful positions for scouting purposes. I love Derwin 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.960 James and Minca Fitzpatrick. That's that same year I loved 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.800 Jesse Bates and Buddha Baker, a pair of Pro bowlers 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.000 or should be Pro bowlers in the National Football League. 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.240 I was the driver of the Antoine Winfield bandwagon last year, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.360 and Javon Holland is that guy this year. He's multiple, 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.919 he's instinctive, he is a hell of a playmaker. I 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.840 won't go in on it because I already discussed this 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.360 on the previous podcast, but I have a feeling we're 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.480 gonna be talking about this guy a lot this summer 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.359 and going forward. How about the trade up for Liam 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.400 Eichenberg at pick number forty two, Dolphins go from fifty 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.040 up to forty two. Here's Chris Greer on the thinking 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.039 behind that trade. I think for us when we made 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.839 the trade, um, we knew there was gonna be a 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.760 run of offensive lineman. As you saw in that second round, 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.800 there was a big run of offensive lineman, and so 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.599 for us, it was important to get up. You know, 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.320 it's it's been a lot of time getting to know Liam. 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.240 Uh liked his toughness, his character, his competes. He's been 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.760 a durable players, played a lot of football. He's very smart, 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.200 and so for us, he was a guy that you know, 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.719 we had talked about and targeted and felt, you know, 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.440 all this stuff that Brian, myself, the coaching staff and 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.920 scouts were looking for. So it's important to get up 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.400 and get in. And as you saw, I was a 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.120 big running offensive line in that round. So uh, you know, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.680 Brian says, um, these guys have to earn positions. You know, 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.320 the rookie coming in. But this kid is a tough, 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.039 competitive kid that is smart, understands football, comes from a 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.960 good program, has been coached well. So, um, you know, 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.960 I would defer to Brian if he wants to talk about, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.760 you know, positions he's playing, but this kid will come 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.280 in and compete, and coach essentially from there just took 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.880 over and said that he's going to come in here 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.440 and compete at all positions. He's played at all positions. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.720 Wants to get him acclimated first to his teammates in 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.240 the playbook and all that fun stuff, but mentioned he 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.799 does have versatility to play left, right, also guard and leom. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.279 Eichenberg actually mentioned this himself on his press conference, which 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.400 we'll get to here in just a second, that they'll 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.360 he'll play wherever they want him to and he'll even 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.719 play center, he said. He then of course followed up 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.800 by there was a follow up question asking him have 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.440 you played center before? And he said no, he has not. 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.280 But this kid is versatile, very reliable and durable, Liam Eichenberg. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.080 Let's continue here with the final pick of Night Too 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.600 and tight end Hunter along out of Boston College, of 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.279 course coach Flores alma mater h They were asked Chris 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.240 and Coach about that selection. Here's what they had to say. Yeah, 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.520 I had no saying the pick because it's from Boston College. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:37.360 As all Brian, you know, I was excited to add 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:42.040 an eagle. Uh. Hunter is a he's tough, he's smart. Um, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.159 we had him at the Senior Bowl, so entire school 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.360 staff got a chance to to spend some time with him. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.440 And uh, you know, he's a typical Boston College you 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.760 know players self, he's smart, he's a team first, and 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.440 we're excited to have him along with all the guys 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.320 we we we grabbed over the last couple of days. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.880 So it's been it's been a fun two days. And 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:08.320 you know, we like all these pigs and um, we're exciting. 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.360 If you couldn't tell their coach was laughing, Chris was laughing. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.600 There was a pretty light mood in the press conference, 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.720 especially towards the end when soft, a dean of the 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.880 South Florida Sun, sentine, I'll started talking about coach Flora's 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.000 drip and the fashion and how he's coming for cam 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.640 Wolves title as best dressed man in South Florida. And 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.360 I gotta say both those guys are on the running 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.640 because I always tell Cam he's the best dress guy 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.960 on the Dolphins beat, and coach Flores comes here with 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.720 the suit looking sharp, so good stuff. In the press conference, 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:34.600 I want to go ahead and finish up here, Chris 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.640 was asked about how he feels the Dolphins did to 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.520 satisfy those criteria. Coach Flores talks about tough, smart team 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.880 first players. Here's Chris. Yeah, I think we feel that 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:48.040 we upgrade our roster. We've we've we've had some speed, 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.920 some playmaking. Um I got some guys that, uh you 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.760 know old line, the lines which are always in that 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.760 show last year, especially how important that is to win 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.400 this league. Um at again, like you said, the playmakers 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.080 on offense and defense, guys that can make plays on 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.920 the ball and score touchdown. So you know, for us, 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.360 it's you know, we have a good roster and these 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.320 guys in with the competition and their competitive spirit as 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.760 we talked about, will would be really good and help 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.040 us keep growing. And so we're very happy and pleas 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.000 and uh, you know for us that it was really 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.440 good two days for us so far. Let's go ahead 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:24.920 and get to some of the highlights from the player 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:29.040 of media availability on Friday night, starting with safety Javon Holland. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.400 I went back and found a story about his him 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.559 being a coach's son growing up and how they had 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.760 some some rules in the house get your school work 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.720 done and get your chores done, get your workouts in 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.880 and he had to do a hundred push ups every day. 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.439 So I asked you Von about that workout regiment and 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.839 the discipline and structure in his early life and how 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.040 it helped him prepare to be a professional football player 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.400 now with your Miami DALs. Great question. I think that 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.520 you know, having those trade regiments as a kid just 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.160 puts me in a better place of you know, organizing 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.959 my own time and making sure that I'm holding myself accountable, 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:58.439 um when no one else is, you know, trying to 0:08:58.520 --> 0:08:59.960 check me. And I feel that got some part of 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.640 being a professional was, you know, holding yourself accountable, make 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.840 sure and you're getting your job done. We came back 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.319 later with Javon here, I asked another question about playing 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.439 receiver in high school, and then Mario Cristobal, the head 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.920 coach at the University of Oregon, actually said in an interview, 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.640 and it was a big story at the time on 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.559 some of the Northwest papers up there covering the Organ Ducks, 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.280 where they said Mario Cristo Baal said that he's probably 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.560 even a better receiver than he is defensive back, but 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.240 we're not going to move him for now. So I 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.640 asked Javan about playing receiver and what that taught him 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.319 as far as the ball hawking skills. Nine interceptions and 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.280 two years that was tied for third most in college 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.439 football between and nineteen. So I played receiver in high 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.280 school a lot, and and that's where I developed a 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.200 lot of my ball skills. And I feel like I 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:42.680 have a you know, a good sense of how the 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.240 ball trajectory is going to be in the sky and 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.200 things like that. And I definitely think that, you know, 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.920 added to my my ball you know, ball skills and 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.920 ball hawking ability. So he talks about ball hawking skills. 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.480 They're also talked about playing soccer and lacrosse and different 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.360 sports and baseball growing up to this kid an athlete 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.800 to the t. He also can at his game or 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.320 or models his game, I should say, after Tyrone Matthew 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.319 the honey Badger there. So that's good company. Let's go 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.960 ahead and pick this thing up here with Dolphins offensive 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.000 lineman Liam Eichenberg out of Notre Dame, and I had 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.960 to ask him about playing through a game with a 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.400 swollen shut eye and having one eye or one functioning 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.120 eye throughout the course of that game where they ran 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.559 for three hundred yards and eight yards per carry against 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.920 Florida State. Here's Liam. Yeah, that was a little tough, 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.360 you know. I uh, there's a lot of ice on 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.319 it when I came off the field. But yeah, I 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.439 was small shot. I mean, I had to help my 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.559 team win, you know, got to be out there. That's 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.840 always said had to help his team win. What a warrior, 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.760 What a great football player, and what a fit here 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.040 in Miami. I want to go ahead and play this 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.400 clip where he was asked about playing left tackle on 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.920 learning new positions. And I've talked about his technique a 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.680 law on the Day two podcast recap and how just 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.200 sound of a technician he is and how mechanically good 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.240 he is and that's a product of working hard. So 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.680 I wanted to play this clip for you because I 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.080 think it really tracks as far as his ability to 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.480 play his natural left tackle position but also be versatile 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.559 to learn new spots and just like a character the 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.720 Dolphins got here on Liam Eichenberg. You know, I'll figure 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.480 it out. I have the work ethic of the attitude, 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.080 you know, the technique for it. So I'm looking forward 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.480 to it wherever they need me. And how about some 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.720 XS and oaths talking speaking of mechanics, Liam Eikenberg talking 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.760 about the mechanics right here, this is what you come 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.120 to drive time for for this type of analysis from 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.480 your new offensive lineman. Yeah, you know, I think I'm 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.240 very efficient, um with my footwork in the run game 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.480 and then in pass pro I think, you know, I 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.360 have violent hands, and I'm also um, you know, very 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.199 good at vertical setting. So you know, I think I 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.840 bring a lot to uh, you know, this organization. So 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.160 I'm very excited for it. And then here's a bit 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.960 from Ikenberg that I found really intriguing, talking about some 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.640 of the Dolphins players he knows and how he's learned 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.520 about the culture here in Miami and how it's all 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.760 about team first and helping the team win and how 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.320 much he loves that. Yeah, you know, I was talking 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.240 about Jem Smith, and then I met Austin Jackson on 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:52.920 when I was on Phoenix training. You know, it's just 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.600 kind of that idea that you know, this team has 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.760 a great culture. You know there's there's very disciplined and 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.600 you know they have the same mindset that everybody has 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.360 the same mindset. You know that that they want to 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.760 help their team wins. So you know, I I loved it. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.720 You know, I think it's it's about the team. You know, 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.600 the team's first. So I'm excited for it. And we'll 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.240 go ahead and conclude the media recap here with Dolphins 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.800 tight end Hunter Long, who talked about the connection between 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.840 Brian Flores at Boston College and playing on the coaching 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.200 staff here with the Miami Dolphins at the Senior Bowl 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.040 and getting to know those guys. Here's Hunter Long. Obviously, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.880 the BC programs known as being a hard nosed, tough program, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.800 and um, it breeds guys like coach Flores, and he's 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.120 he's an awesome guy. Obviously got to know him at 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.000 the Senior Bowl a lot, and um, ompos, really one 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.960 moment I can share, but um obviously throughout the guys 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.560 that will talk to him and build a relationship with him, 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.000 and he was awesome down Therefore, and if you go 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.320 back and check out the press conference, please forgive me 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.280 for the stumbling on the question I had here for 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.240 Hunter Long. I just I was reading something as I 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.560 was reading the question, so maybe say the wrong word, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.000 but I basically asked him about playing in two different 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.600 offensive systems there at Boston College, one a very run 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.920 heavy based offense, one more of an aired out scheme. 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.680 Here's Hunter Long talking about how that helped prepare him 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.280 for the next level there. Yeah, I always say it. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:08.800 I feel like I got the best of both worlds 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.440 at BC, with with both offenses. Obviously more run heavy 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.720 offense in this past year really opened up the past game. UM. 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.720 I just think it allowed me to become a well 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.640 rounded tight end and work at all aspects of the position. 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.360 Um So, so I'm grateful fruit for the journey I 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.600 had at BC, and grateful for the original coaching stuff 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.440 I had there in the office his previous coaching staff. 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:28.800 They taught me so much, and I feel like I 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.560 was really able to build the tools that, um I 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.600 think I'll need go on to the next level. And 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.080 we'll finish up here with a question for Hunter about 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.880 his ability to both solve a Rubrics cube in forty 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.160 seven seconds, but also the fact that he builds computers 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.000 in his spare time. I started. I started solving the 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.240 Rubys Cup of freshman year of college. I was just 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.720 bored one day and ordered one. It kind of became 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.120 a thing I did just in my free time, sitting 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.880 at my desk or in bed. And uh, I got 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.080 all right at it. Uh there was a little nerve 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:00.200 wracking solving online two V. I don't want to mess up, 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.320 but uh, it went well. And then the other hobby 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.840 I think people build a surprise. I was at built computers. 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.120 I built my first computer on thirteen and have built 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.560 a couple of cents. So it's a big hobby of mine. 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.320 And I graduated with computer science degree from BC so 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.320 it's kind of a big part of my life. So 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.680 another one of these smart players coming down from Boston 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.400 College here to join Brian Flores team here in Miami. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.520 And let's go ahead and transition now into Day three, 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.200 the final day of the NFL Draft. It has come 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.600 and gone one of my favorite moments on the calendar 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.120 in the rear view of mirror now as we look 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:37.200 ahead to one season and eventually draft class. But that 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.800 is a long way down the road. We thought we 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.880 had three picks today, but we wind up taking two 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.800 players because in the fifth round that pick was traded 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.600 away to the Pittsburgh Steelers for what could have been 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.440 a relatively significant trade up in next year's draft, the 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.720 Dolphins get out of pick one fifty six, which was 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.600 smack dab right in the middle of that fifth round, 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.840 and they get back into the fourth round next year. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.040 So considering all of the compensatory picks, that draft pick 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.760 is at least five or so spots higher, depending on 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.040 how many fourth round comp picks they give out. And 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.160 that's if Pittsburgh were to win the Super Bowl and 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.640 pick thirty second in every single round. Let's say they 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.760 finished nine and eight and missed the playoffs, that pick 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.320 will have jumped up around forty or forty five spots 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.080 or so. And draft picks don't depreciate year to year. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.960 A fourth round draft pick now is a fourth round 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.400 draft pick any year. So he gotta love that for 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.960 the Dolphins getting up and getting more value out of 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.080 that pick. And finally, from Peter King's last column, this 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.520 was from UH this past Monday. He talked about teams 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.360 maybe being a little bit more ready to make a 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.400 move like this to get out of this year's draft. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.280 And get picks in next year's draft because of the 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.240 amount of medical reports out there is just much much 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.280 more scarce than what it typically is and has been 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.880 when you have the combine in Indianapolis. So the Dolphins 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:56.440 increase value with that move. Now, these draft picks are 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.240 a little bit different than what we're talking about, and 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.400 I'm talking about the two seventh round picks then what 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.560 you're talking about in the second and third round, and 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.040 obviously the first round two because in the case of 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.280 a Laarnel Coleman, for instance, out of you Mass he 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.240 acknowledged at his pro day the reality of being one 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.720 of these prospects projected to go late on Day three. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.360 Dame Brugler had him in the sixth round. Dolphins get 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.160 him in the seventh round, So that's a good value there. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.640 But he talked in this article on Coast to Coast 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.640 scouting dot Com about how important his pro day was 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.400 to him, and there was a little bit of nerves 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:27.960 in there because of the fact that he knew he 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.760 had to put together a solid workout before we get 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.360 to that. The strength from the one game I got. 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.760 As far as you mass tape goes, it's it's scarce 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.440 out there, boys and girls. The athletic ability the number 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.440 one thing that stands out right away. He can really 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.200 really bend at the knees and sink into his anchor 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.840 and use those active feet to stay square in front 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.800 of his man. When you hear the term, you know, 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.000 I'm sure you guys have heard scouting terms that maybe 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.840 you're not familiar with. And bending at the knees compared 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.480 to being a waste bender is very very important because 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.320 it allows you to kind of stay on balance and 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.480 stay with your hips over your feet, your shoulders over 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.640 your hips, and then of course we'll give you better balance, 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.760 and balance is everything in the National Football League. And 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.959 then also maintaining active feet through contact. Sometimes you'll hear 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.040 the term dead feet upon contact the guys stopped their feet, 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:14.960 and that's also one of the worst things you can do. 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.119 He does not do that. He keeps the feet active 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.600 and they're very very quick feet. The next strength is 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.840 the length. He's got absolute vines for arms. He's also 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.439 got a ridiculous wingspan. He is really tough to disengage 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.639 from when he gets those big myths out there and 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.639 wraps you up. Also, the feet and hip flexibility again, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.800 back to the athletic ability here, but I mentioned the 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.160 quick feet that moved to side to side. I would 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.280 have loved to seen this guy run the rabbit drill 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.359 in India at the combine, that's where you put and 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.040 they might have actually gotten rid of this drill, but 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:44.480 it was fun to watch when they had it. But 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.639 they would put an offensive lineman on one side. He 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.720 was playing oh line and the other guy was basically 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.600 running back and forth between two cones. Trying to showcase 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.320 the transition and the weight the weight transition of the 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.360 offensive lineman's ability. I think this guy would have absolutely 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.960 killed that drill because he has the athletic a bill 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.439 and change the direction to be good in that area. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.359 And he's also you see that when he works at 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.520 the second level in the running game too. So again, 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.879 athleticism is the name of the game for Laurna L. Coleman. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:14.000 His measurements six ft six three seven pounds, eighty four 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.960 and seven eight inch wingspan that is the second largest 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.640 in this class, thirty five and a half inch arms, 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.520 a five one seven forty yard dash time, a one 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.880 point eight three ten yards split. That's a great range 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:26.639 to be in getting off the ball show on the 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.800 explosiveness and then one inches on the broad jump too. 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.640 That's that's explosive for a guy that size, thirty one 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.560 inch vertical again, more explosion, and then twenty four bench 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.359
