WEBVTT - NFL Draft Day 2 Recap 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:06.240 And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:08.680 Welcome to move sticks. 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:10.560 I am Bucky Brooks and I'm sitting here with my 0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:14.880 man Lance Z. We've just finished Night two of the 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.520 twenty twenty five NFL Draft, and Lance, I mean, there's 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:20.800 a lot of stuff going on. There are a lot 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:23.759 of dreams that are realized. But I think we would 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.360 be remiss if we don't start with the biggest story 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.520 of the day. Day two, rounds two and three go 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.000 five quarterbacks have now been drafted. But when the fourth 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:39.520 round opens on Saturday, Carla, quarterback Shadur Sanders. 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:40.880 Will still be waiting to hear his name call. 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:45.440 Yep, he'll still be waiting. And you know, it's a 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.400 different conversation today than it was at the end of 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:49.839 the day than it was at the beginning of the day. 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.959 At the beginning of day was football people saying, look 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.480 at these silly people on social media arguing about how 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.280 Shador Sanders was supposed to be a top ten pick 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.200 and they didn't watch tape and they and you know, 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.480 and and really this is he fell out. But that 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:08.640 was that's for football reasons. Now, was there always a 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:13.640 concern about you know, maybe how he interviewed. Sure, is 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.520 there going to be some concern for some teams about 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.520 Dion Sanders and and his you know, this looming specter 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.080 of Dion if things don't. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.560 Go well, you know, maybe maybe. 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.640 But once we hit the second round, and Bucky you 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.520 and I talked about off the air, there was a 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.440 scenario where Shore Sanders could absolutely slide out of the 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:34.039 second round. 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:34.680 We knew that. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.240 We knew that, and then if he slid out the third, 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.480 that thought was a second then like what's to keep 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.759 him from sliding in the third. We we did think 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.080 Tyler Shuck could go ahead of him. 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:45.360 That was possible. 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.800 Once you got all the way to the midway through. 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.800 Once he once he got past the Pittsburgh Steelers and 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.040 eighty three you you turned and said this, maybe this 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.880 may be a wrap form because Cleveland had passed on 0:01:58.960 --> 0:01:59.640 him multiply. 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.080 They pass on so many times that you couldn't envision 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:07.080 them taking him. And then I would say the nail 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.200 on the coffin or when you really went oh, is 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.639 when Dylan Gabriel, No disrespect to Dylan Gabriel quarterback coming 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.160 out of Oregon, when he's taken ninety fourth overall by 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.200 the Cleveland Browns, where bypassed on an opportunity to take 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.079 the quarterback. That's when you're like, hey man, there's a 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.240 scenario where he may not get drafted today. But also 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.120 you're now beginning to wonder is he going to get drafted? 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:27.960 Period? 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:33.640 Because with the Raiders and the Browns bypassing them multiple times, 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.359 the Saint seemingly getting their guy. The Giants have gotten 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.240 their guy. The Seattle Sea Hawks take Jalen mill Roll, 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:45.560 who's left like now it's a free fall where going 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.480 in the day three in the fourth round. If he 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.760 goes in the fourth round, we talk about developmental prospect. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.320 Anyone taking a guy where we're just throwing darts. To 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.200 think about him being in that scenario where you're just 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.960 throwing darts, where does he go? And the other thing 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.880 and look, it reminds me of the Tim Tebow thing, 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.000 right when Tim Tebow was out there and despective Tim 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:14.160 Tebow joining your squad. So much noise, so much perceived distractions. 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.919 Which team it was a distraction though, don't you think 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.560 with Tim Tebow says everything? Every time Tim we got 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.280 sick as a fan, I was so sick and a 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.400 media member hearing about Tim Tebow every time, like, guys, 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:27.520 this is not the story. 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.640 And so is that going to be the thing, Because 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.000 when sherdurs end is when he gets picked, is the 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:33.359 first thing that happens. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.680 Media members arena say, does he have a chance to start? 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.880 Do you have this? What kind of situation do you have? 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.200 I'm looking at a situation where it has to be 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.280 someone that's so interested as the starter that he's a 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.440 non factor when it comes to them bringing him in 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.080 and doing that. And so it's Look, it's a fun 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.800 and not a fun but a very fascinating story to watch. 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.160 I would say one that I don't know if I've 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:00.400 ever seen a notable name like this experienced kind of 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.720 slat when yeah, it wasn't a conversation going in. 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:08.800 What's not medical? Right, there's nothing. There's nothing criminal. There's 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.680 nothing medical that we know of. Now let's you know, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.520 let's just tell it all. He didn't compete at all 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:19.320 in the Shrine game, Okay, right, he didn't work out 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.080 at the combine. Okay, didn't throw at the combine, not 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.200 the first player not to that. That's not that's not 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.000 that big a deal. Didn't do anything at the Big 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:32.600 twelve Pro Day, Pro Day, okay, and then he finally 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.839 had his own showcase day. I do think that the 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.960 specter of everything being larger about it being about Shadeur. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:46.200 You know, Travis Hunter Dean put lots of platitudes and 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.159 he won the Heisman Trophy. He did I mean he did, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.560 but he did. He did that. But the other thing was, 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.840 you know, Dian always mentioned Travis every time he mentioned 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.239 sud Or. It's not like Travis, but there was something 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.520 that felt like, you know, there was a push that 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:05.600 tra that Shadoor was bigger than the team. And that's 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.000 something that will really turn teams off. The fact that 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.720 he went after his offensive line. A year ago in 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:17.240 a twitch stream, I talked to an assistant GM who 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:18.680 told me that was a big turn off for him 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.680 because in the NFL, you got to say it's your 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.320 fault even when it's not your fault. Like I got 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:23.719 to do a better job of getting rid of the 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.000 ball because you're protecting your guys, because your offensive line. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.799 It's a brotherhood between the quarterback and the offensive line. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.520 And I think this is a more complicated and more 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.320 nuanced conversation that you and I can have the general 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:41.080 public just really can't have it in social media setting. 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.800 It requires a lot more conversation because there's a lot 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:44.760 more that goes into it. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.679 It's a lot of nuance. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.520 And back in the day, we would talk about the 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:52.080 quarterback position being presidential in terms of being very regal 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.040 in nature, very regal in how you handed yourself on 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.239 the field, all to field, impress conferences, in those things. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:04.200 And he Shadur is a very confident, very brash, very 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:05.880 in your face, like he's different. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.039 He grew up in the seven oh seven era. 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.760 Well, these things are very commonplace, like the watch celebration, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.080 that's very commonplace. If you go to any seven h 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.080 seven event, you see these kinds of things. But we're 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.960 not necessarily used to seeing a quarterback who is like that. 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.000 And I will say this, and it would be interesting 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.960 to fast forward to twenty twenty six and if Arch 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.800 Manning is in the draft and the things that we 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.520 talk about in terms of Dion and the family and 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.200 all of this other stuff, do you get the same 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.360 kind of sense and sentiment, Because remember, the Manning family 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.120 was very outspoken about Eli going to a place in 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.960 those things, and early in the process Dion talked about, 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.840 wanted to make sure that a we won't go to 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.800 these places, we want to go there and this, and 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.200 the tables have turned. And you just wondered when that 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.560 conversation came out there, how to coaches receive it, how 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.560 to gms and management officials receive it, and those things. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.680 And now the leverage isn't with the player, the leverages 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:11.320 with the team. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:12.520 And as we go into the. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.240 Fourth round, man, you are hopeful as opposed to a 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.040 guy that is certain to make the team when you're 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:17.720 a top prospect. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.840 I can tell you from talking to NFL personnel people, 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.760 there is a concern right now. This isn't a shadeur. 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.400 This is a general conversation. There is a concern right 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.360 now with entitlement on the college level because of NIL, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.840 because it's gotten so out of control so fast. It's 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.400 gone from zero to one hundred miles an hour, and 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.760 the amount of money that's there, and the stories you 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.160 hear behind the scenes with players becoming really really difficult, 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.800 the ability to leave any time you want, the transit. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.560 It's a constant state of free agency. There is a 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:53.160 belief by NFL teams that players are becoming more difficult 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.960 to deal with. And this is and it really is 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:57.800 only this is only like the third year that we've 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.520 seen in NIL, so it's still very very early. But 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.239 I do think that there you are going to see 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.720 more and more teams who are going to try to 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.040 figure out who the more entitled ones, who the I 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.120 don't know if I want to say spoiled or whatever, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.440 but the guys who are in it for the NIL 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.120 and who are in it for football. I believe shit 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.120 Or Sanders loves football. I think he loves football on tape. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.920 To me, he's the second round talent. He's the second 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.560 best quarterback in this draft. I think he's got tremendous 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.160 His confidence, to me, is a huge plus. Now some 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.480 of it's too extra. Oh it just it just is. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.720 I mean, let's just be real. Some of it is 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.520 too much. You got to dial some of that back. 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.360 I don't mind brash, I don't mind confidence. I don't 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.600 mind cocky Aaron Rodgers stuff, all that stuff. Baker Mayfield 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.600 rubbed people the wrong way. You can do it when 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.120 you're bawling out on a high level in the NFL. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.720 But it didn't impact Baker when it came to the 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.559 draft no impact. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.240 Well, and see I heard stuff behind the scenes like 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.320 it seemed he left in the middle of the seat, 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.800 you know, like that bothered me. 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:59.000 But but he's not the first one. Joey Harrington has 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.120 some stuff where he does. It could have been hard 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.080 to deal. It didn't stop teams from taking him third overall. 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:08.440 And I do understand talent brings tolerance, and we talked 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:13.320 about him not having the elite tools in those things. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.839 But I'm just telling you I never thought that it 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.880 would be a situation where he falls. Can we have 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.959 a third and so look, don't want it to overshadow 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.280 like the night of so many guys realizing their dreams, 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.720 but man, we have to at least address what was 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.480 look early in the process. We're talking about two quarterbacks 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.439 who was going to be number one. To have the 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.440 guy who was in that conversation not only completely fall 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.720 out of the first round, but to not be taken 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.320 in the first three rounds, to me, it makes it 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.000 a more significant story. 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.679 Yeah, and you and I have both been censored of 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.000 the fact that good football players have not had enough 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:49.640 conversation in this process. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.400 Of leading up because we talked about it. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.800 Because everything's been should or should or should do and 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.240 it's not fair to cam Ward first and foremost. Cam 0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:00.200 Ward deserved way more to not get enough shots, not 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:01.000 get enough shine. 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:02.320 This is different. 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.880 Well, the conversation we're having now is how did it 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.800 happen and what happens now. The reason that happened is 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.760 going to be different for different teams. Some teams probably 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.600 didn't like the football player as much. He's you know, 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.960 he's not he's mobile in the pocket, he's not. He's 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.880 not a fast escapability guy. He takes too many sacks, 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.640 holds onto the ball too long. But you know, there's 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.040 been a lot of players have held them. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:26.640 There's a lot of players. You know. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.080 For everything that you can say, there's a counter to it. 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.480 So that's why it's I think it's I. 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.400 Mean, and my point is this, like when we talk 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.840 about the league and everyone talks about these hot standards, 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:41.280 we have seen players like Tim Boyle play seven years 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.600 in the league, who was a player who didn't have 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.320 nearly the accomplishment of your sanders, you know what I'm saying. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.679 So like that's where I mean. 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.160 I mean, like I mean, their their career backups, they 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.520 just stay out the case Kingdom, Well in case. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:02.480 Case, and so that's the thing, and so we'll get 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.320 to it. We'll see where it ends up on day three. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.319 But I got to ask you, when you look at 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.120 the first three rounds and you look at teams that 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.920 have put in work, who are some of the teams 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.000 that kind of that you're impressed with what they've been 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:16.840 able to do so well. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.960 I like the Patriots had a philosophy, an idea of 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.120 what they wanted to do. Had a conversation with an 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.880 NBA former NBA general manager and I was talking about 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.760 the team that he used to work for and what 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.120 it was like, and he said, you know, even though 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.080 we had a great organization, the thing that bothered me 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.760 was every once in a while we'd be on the 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.080 draft clay and he said, there's only two rounds for us. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.480 He said, we'd be on the board and all of 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.960 a sudden, there's hesitation in the room where we thought 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.319 we were all on the same page. So I think that, 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:50.000 and Bucky, you've been in those rooms. I think good 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.480 organizations understand this is our philosophy, this is what we're doing, 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.199 and the stick to it on draft day and you 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.720 don't waffle I look at the Patriots and it's interesting 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.920 because they brought because Mike ray Bull came in and 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.840 brought who's his guy, Ryan Calton, Yeah, Ryan Calden. Elliott 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.800 Wolf was already there, Alonso high Smith was already there. 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.960 So the two groups blended together, and it looks like 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:15.720 they have a really ironed out, well thought out plan. 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.160 Offensive tackle. First pick of the draft, you know, fourth overall. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:22.480 They know they had to have tackled. They did it there. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:26.079 Trayvon Henderson got a terrific running back and an explosive 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.040 playmaker in the second round, and a third round they 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.920 went and got a guy who can stretch the field 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.920 and Kyle Williams silky smooth wide receiver. And then at 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.720 the back end the they traded back and they still 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.720 were able to add Jared Wilson in an athletic center. There, 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.880 so two offensive linemen and then skilled position players. I 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.320 wouldn't be surprised if the second round. You know, they've 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.240 got three picks in the fifth, two and a seventh 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.520 one and a fourth they're gonna mix and match and 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.800 move up. I'm sure at least once, maybe twice, But 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.680 I'll bet you tomorrow's completely defense and I think that's 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.720 probably a philosophy and a discussion that they had in 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.559 their meetings. I like that for the Patriots, they needed 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.000 a lot of help, and I think they maneuvered around 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.240 pretty well and they did what they were supposed to do. 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.360 It's funny because I feel like this team always gets 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.040 a lot of love on Draft Day a draft weekend, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.080 but the Baltimore Ravens, and we've been in this game 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.160 long enough to know that the Baltimore Ravens do what 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:18.480 they do. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.480 They just sit and pick, They wait for good players 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:20.920 to fall. 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.960 We always talk about draft boards being like snowflakes and 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:28.040 that nobody has guys ranked in the same order, and 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:32.680 the Baltimore Ravens appeared always, I would say, feast on others' mistakes. 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.240 And so the fact that they're able to get Malachot 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.360 Starks early in the first round and then they come 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.000 back and on day two, like they get Mike Green. 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.280 Mike Green's the top six. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:45.200 I mean, like he was the guy that we talked 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.000 about being a top twenty pick, someone that we knew 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.800 had sack production led the country in sacks. You saw 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.600 the fights inness, you saw him come off the edge 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.520 the physicality and toughness, all those things. And here you 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.360 are in the second round and he's right there in 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.000 the Baltimore Ravens scoop them up. 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:01.600 Are you just like? 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.320 Here they go again and doing what they do, and 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.760 then later they come and get Emry Jones. I'm talking 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.959 from LSU, just another guy that kind of fits their thing. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.200 The one thing that always stands out great organizations. They 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:18.520 understand their identity and they always pick players that suit 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:19.160 their identity. 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.280 And when you're strong and have strong leadership, you can 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.320 take guys that and you know, Mike Greenfell, there's some 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.680 character stuff, but from what I understand, it's nothing that's 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:31.200 gonna like. I don't think there's a concern about the person, 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.920 the type of player he is. They just got a 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.000 discounted from what I can tell, they got a discounted 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.440 first rounder later in the second round, and they don't 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.560 overthink it. That's one of the things about the Ravens. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.960 Malachi Starks, you're not trying to well, if we get 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.800 NICKI man, worry, what we're gonna be able to do 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.440 is we're gonna be able to be more. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:49.280 Multiple with dark. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.240 They just said, how about we go get a Kirby, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.600 smart player, who's a good tackler, who's mentally tough and 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.840 who fits the Raven way. And NICKI man worry has 0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.720 all this talent, but sometimes he turns it off a 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.080 little bit, like it can go off and on, off 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:03.720 and on. In terms of the motor, he's got to 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.560 get himself, you know. Uh, when he's properly motivated, Man, 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.480 that guy's a monster. Malaka starts, never turns it off. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.040 He's just ready to play all the time. And that's 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.520 and he's a Raven. And I think what you said 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.240 exactly right, Like they don't they don't overthink things. They say, 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.760 here's a good football player, take them. And when you 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.200 have a strong locker room, you can also take a 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.920 few more chances too. That's something else that should be noted. So, yeah, 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.320 the Ravens did a great job. I think, you know, 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.880 looking at the looking at the draft board, I made 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.720 mention of the Texans going with Jayden Higgins in the 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:42.600 second round. They got to tackle Ariante Ursri, who we'll 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.480 see how he plays. I have some some concerns about him. 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.360 He doesn't play as fluidly as he tests at tackle. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:53.480 Jalen Noel is really explosive slot receiver from Iowa State, 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.400 and then Jalen Smith, the cornerback. And what's interesting there 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.640 is the Texans are saying, we need to get more 0:15:58.640 --> 0:15:59.440 weapons for CJ. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:15:59.960 Stroud. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:02.880 We lost to Von Diggs. Tank Dell's out for this 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.440 year and who knows if he'll ever come back, And 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.360 so the Texans immediately said, we're not waiting. We can't 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.720 afford to piecemeal this over two years. We'll go get 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.960 two wide receivers this year and they're both going to 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:15.880 have to play. I mean, John Menchi's gonna have to 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.360 fight for his job. Xavier Hutchinson, you know, this guy's 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.320 going to have to fight for his job. Justin Watson 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.640 came in, who's a reliable fourth, fifth wide receiver. So 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:30.240 Texans not only wanted more competitiveness at that position, competition 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.760 at that position. I think they got these two guys 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.760 to play a lot of snaps. To be honest with you, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.840 and when you're in the AFC, you got to deal 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:43.400 with Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen and Joe Burrow and 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.640 teams that can put up a lot of points. And 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.480 so Nick Cassario basically said, hey, we cannot sleep on 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.280 wide receiver. We cannot wait until next year. We got 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:53.200 to get him right now. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.480 Yeah, I mean, look, they are doing a really good 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.080 job of kind of loading up doing it. We talk 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.840 about the best team, understand who they are, and they 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.720 make sure that they kind of stick to the script. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.439 And I would say that it's funny for us to 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.959 talk about the Dallas Cowboys in this vein, but they 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.960 done a really solid job of sticking to what really 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.520 works for them. Early the first night, we saw them 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.119 get Tyler Booker, someone who's a straight bully at the 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.440 point of attack, you see the video and those things. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.480 And then tonight they go and get Donovan as Araku, 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.160 who can come off the edge. 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.560 They need pass rushing help. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.640 And first second type attack first. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.040 I mean, and you just see where, okay, the combinations 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:34.760 are gonna start to come and how they're gonna be 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.040 able to get after it. You think about Matt Eberflus 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.520 coming back and he wants to kind of get to 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.640 playing the style where hey, they're playing fast and they're 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.399 getting after it and it's simplistic. As Iraku brings that 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:52.879 energy and then Chavan, I mean just being able to 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.560 be the big corner. You think about that Tampa two 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.600 style that they can jump into in some of those 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.520 things zone corner, and I just think about his side 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.280 with Trayvon Diggs on the other side, and the ball 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.399 skills and the length and how they can challenge guys. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:09.520 In different ways. To me, the Dallas Cowboys have just 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.120 been rock solid when it comes to their picks. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.399 Bears had four picks in the first sixty two. Colston 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.679 Lovelin we talked about in the first round. Luther Burden, 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.960 another first round discount player. In the second round, I 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:20.720 thought he was a first round talent. 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.120 I just I think you. 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.840 Have to look past the short throws this year and 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:26.680 you have to go back and watch twenty twenty three 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.280 and twenty twenty four intermediate and deep throws to see 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.800 what he can be in an offense. It's different than 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.080 the denk and dunk catch and run stuff that Missouri ran. Hey, 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.000 it was great to take advantage of Burden's ability after 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.240 the catch, but that's not all he is. I think 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.560 he's capable of doing a lot more than that, and 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.840 so you know Caleb Williams is going to give him 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.000 an opportunity to show that. In Rome with Douonzay being 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:48.920 on one side is also going to give him a 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.360 chance to, you know, for the Bears to get creative, 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.919 for Ben Johnson to get creative. Remember that all the 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:59.919 offensive picks here. Ben Johnson, well, I thought was a mastermind. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.199 I mean I had a lot of respect for everything 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:06.200 he did, his play calling, his vision for Jamier Gibbs 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.439
