Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is the Dallascowboys dot Com Draft Show, your war
Speaker 1: room for insider news and draft analysis from deep within
Speaker 1: the confines of Cowboys headquarters at the Star and Frisco.
Speaker 3: Today is Thursday, March twenty first, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4: And wait for it, there are now thirty days away
Speaker 4: from the NFL Draft in Detroit, Michigan. We are down
Speaker 4: to day thirty is two minus thirty days. That's what
Speaker 4: we've got.
Speaker 5: That doesn't sound right. It doesn't sound right, but that's
Speaker 5: what it says.
Speaker 2: Right here.
Speaker 5: It would have happened away. It's probably thirty five.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking a week ahead, guys, back show, messed.
Speaker 5: Up the day. I'm just gonna leave. Can we restart?
Speaker 6: Guys?
Speaker 5: All right, here we go Thursday, March twenty first.
Speaker 3: We are thirty five days away from the NFL scatter.
Speaker 3: It was a round number. I was thinking five.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, hey, this is this is probably one of
Speaker 7: my favorite weeks of the year. Like right through here,
Speaker 7: you're getting all the pro days out of the way,
Speaker 7: You're being able to see these guys in their natural environment.
Speaker 7: But also it's March bad this week, and it's just
Speaker 7: one of my favorites of the year. And I have
Speaker 7: to pass the LSU fans who are left a little
Speaker 7: bit of praise because you and t beat them in
Speaker 7: the n tournament.
Speaker 5: So you know, baby, the calls over here, we got
Speaker 5: to give you, We got to give you that.
Speaker 2: No, no, and you know what, and I'm always I'm
Speaker 2: totally okay with that. As long as you went to
Speaker 2: the school, paid your money, and got your degree, you
Speaker 2: can say anything to me that's fair.
Speaker 5: About it was great. I loved it.
Speaker 8: I was watching it all night, couldn't get away from
Speaker 8: the game. I did not go to North Texas though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I will take your two grief. I will
Speaker 2: not take it.
Speaker 8: I wore your LSU jersey and took a picture in
Speaker 8: it with horn down.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's amazing. That was amazing. Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 2: At least you didn't have my jersey on at the
Speaker 2: National Championship game and wanted to fight everybody from Clemson
Speaker 2: like David Helman.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a helmet, David.
Speaker 2: David stood up in our row and on his chair
Speaker 2: and took on the whole state of South Carolina with
Speaker 2: my nineteen eighty five Sugar Bowl Jersey on. He paid
Speaker 2: his money though he can do Yeah, paid his money,
Speaker 2: but he wanted I go, David, we might be able
Speaker 2: to take three of them.
Speaker 9: We're not going to take the whole state.
Speaker 5: Whoever steps up first, they're gonna hurt.
Speaker 2: But then we'll actually that we're probably We're probably too.
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 4: Helman always tweets out like the goofy Tiger pictures when
Speaker 4: over LSU does something big, so I'd sent him.
Speaker 3: A goofy eagle.
Speaker 4: It's not as fun because they don't have like the
Speaker 4: boopable nose like up front.
Speaker 3: They don't have like the tiger nose. Congratulates.
Speaker 2: Well we could.
Speaker 5: It was fun.
Speaker 4: The women play in the wb I T tonight against TCUs,
Speaker 4: a little town hometown rivalry.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 4: Let's talk some football because, like you said, not only
Speaker 4: is it March madd this week and you got your
Speaker 4: brackets filled out, but you also have pro days. And
Speaker 4: Nick Harris made a little trip down the Central Texas
Speaker 4: to the Hill Country to take a look at some
Speaker 4: Texas longhorns.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thirteen of the draft eligible longhorns down participating in
Speaker 7: the Pro Day yesterday in Austin.
Speaker 5: It was good stuff.
Speaker 7: Most of the guys did not test, and it makes
Speaker 7: sense whenever you look at all those guys and how
Speaker 7: they performed at the combine, you know, why would they
Speaker 7: test at jail and Ford, the linebacker who you know
Speaker 7: is projected probably early day three. He's starting to see
Speaker 7: his stock rise quite a bit. I think after yesterday's
Speaker 7: Pro Day, scouts were buzzing about him. He did compete
Speaker 7: in all the testing. He did everything at the Prota yesterday.
Speaker 7: It looked really good in drills. I was even able
Speaker 7: to catch up with him for about thirty minutes after
Speaker 7: just kind of in the facility and just kind of
Speaker 7: catching up on.
Speaker 5: His draft process. And he's been working in Arizona.
Speaker 7: He's living in one of those houses that those those
Speaker 7: guys they'll go train at and live in for you know,
Speaker 7: two three months. And he was even living in a
Speaker 7: house that Odell had bought out at one time. So
Speaker 7: he's been able to be around some NFL guys, Ebo
Speaker 7: Samuels come through, So it's been really cool for Jalen Ford.
Speaker 7: He played just here at the Ford Center at Frisco
Speaker 7: Lone star in high school and committed to Texas on
Speaker 7: the last day of the signing period as a as
Speaker 7: a recruit and then had a huge career at Texas
Speaker 7: and one of their guys in the middle of that
Speaker 7: defense who really commanded everything, really versatile, but he's also
Speaker 7: got a knack for the ball. He always finds a
Speaker 7: way to get to the ball. He had led the
Speaker 7: team in interceptions as a junior and he was able
Speaker 7: to back that up as a senior. Beam firing up
Speaker 7: the highlights, let's go be But yeah, he looked really
Speaker 7: good yesterday Byron Murphy was doing a little bit of
Speaker 7: agility drills and my goodness, he moves so well for
Speaker 7: his size. He's just swole like a tick, but man,
Speaker 7: he can get after it. He can really move around.
Speaker 7: And then something that was really fun yesterday, and I
Speaker 7: know it's I know it's looking forward and looking ahead,
Speaker 7: but I think it's really important to talk about was
Speaker 7: the fact that Quinn Ewers, the quarterback for Texas who
Speaker 7: will be going back to Texas for another year. He
Speaker 7: threw in front of scouts to Xavier Worthy at a
Speaker 7: nin Mitchell Jatavian Sanders, Jordan Whittington, Key Robinson and he
Speaker 7: looked really good, only missed one pass to the left.
Speaker 7: I was trying to get as many scouts opinions anonymously
Speaker 7: as possible, and most of the guys were saying he
Speaker 7: looked really good. It's about those endgame jitters. I think
Speaker 7: with Quinn Yewers, we'll be talking about him as a
Speaker 7: top ten pick next year.
Speaker 10: Though.
Speaker 7: I'm fairly confident in that if he can just build
Speaker 7: a little bit more confidence and get more confident and
Speaker 7: being in an offense like that, he'll be just fine.
Speaker 7: But he looked really good yesterday and a shortsened T
Speaker 7: shirt and then xavier' worthy Adenni Mitchell Man. The speed
Speaker 7: that those two guys have, My goodness, it was on
Speaker 7: display yesterday for sure.
Speaker 2: Nick. How many did you get a kind of a
Speaker 2: feel about, like when you started talking about Ford the
Speaker 2: number of teams working him out? You know, I know
Speaker 2: we're kind of hunting linebackers here. If you're a Dallas
Speaker 2: Cowboy fan, did you get a feeling like, Okay, it
Speaker 2: was a Buccaneers coach, it was I mean, was there
Speaker 2: a lot of coaches there to see guys like that?
Speaker 9: I know it was a big protect Yeah.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 7: It was funny you say Buccaneers, Buccaneers Texans. They were
Speaker 7: working with him in drills and things of that nature.
Speaker 7: Ryan Watts was also the safety that theb I think
Speaker 7: he's safety. He played corner at Texas. He was working
Speaker 7: out with the Texans as well. So the Texans were
Speaker 7: pretty active yesterday. Their GM Nick Cassario was there. They
Speaker 7: had there was three head coaches there, Zach Taylor from
Speaker 7: the Bengals, Gosh, Mike McDaniel from the Dolphins, and then
Speaker 7: the Colts head coach. What's his name, come on, SI
Speaker 7: there it is Steichen, So yeah, three head coaches. I
Speaker 7: was talking with one of the Texas personnel guys yesterday
Speaker 7: and they were like, we've never had a Pro day
Speaker 7: like this. Ninety six scouts in attendance, three head coaches.
Speaker 7: Cowboys were represented by offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, so he
Speaker 7: was definitely taking a look at Jonathan Brooks, who didn't participate.
Speaker 7: Obviously he's still dealing with the ACL but he was
Speaker 7: still able to talk to scouts and chop it up
Speaker 7: with them. He's taking a thirty visit to the Cowboys
Speaker 7: as well, so that'll be really interesting to see as
Speaker 7: time goes on, and man, that was just making a
Speaker 7: little bit more sense with every day that passes by.
Speaker 9: So did you get a chance to visit with him
Speaker 9: at all?
Speaker 11: I did?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, give you any timetable of how the procedures
Speaker 2: coming along?
Speaker 9: Yeah, is it training camp or how's that house?
Speaker 2: Ye looking?
Speaker 7: Yeah, So he's still expected to be ready by training
Speaker 7: camp for whatever team drafts him. It was a clean tear,
Speaker 7: and it was it was probably about as great quote
Speaker 7: unquote as a aclchair could be because he was the
Speaker 7: swelling went down rather quick. He was able to have
Speaker 7: surgery quicker as a result, and since it was a
Speaker 7: clean tear, there wasn't any structural damage or anything like that.
Speaker 7: So he's gonna be able to get back on the
Speaker 7: field a little bit quicker. But yeah, he should be
Speaker 7: ready in time for training camp. I think with whatever
Speaker 7: team does draft him, and let's say it is Dallas,
Speaker 7: they're gonna air on the side of caution because that
Speaker 7: is a really talented running back who uses his body
Speaker 7: as part of his style, as part of his running style,
Speaker 7: and you want to be able to use one hundred
Speaker 7: percent of that body whenever he does return to the field.
Speaker 7: So as long as people air on the side of
Speaker 7: caution early on with him, I think he'll be just
Speaker 7: fine as a rookie.
Speaker 2: Did you get any feeling from like with Sweat, like
Speaker 2: talking to scouts that maybe he's a first round guy
Speaker 2: or I don't think so.
Speaker 5: I don't think so.
Speaker 12: I was That's what my question was going to be,
Speaker 12: because you talked about some guys just feeling like they
Speaker 12: didn't need to have their pro day.
Speaker 13: It doesn't sound like Sweat did anything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, didn't do a whole lot at all, now that
Speaker 7: I think about it. I don't think he did anything
Speaker 7: now that I think about it.
Speaker 12: And then yeah, and I would argue that he was
Speaker 12: one of the guys that when you're watching him at
Speaker 12: the combine, I think some people thought that maybe he could, Yeah,
Speaker 12: he maybe needed that PROTA to maybe raise his stock
Speaker 12: a little bit more. I mean, it wasn't a bad
Speaker 12: performance from him. I think people just expected more from him.
Speaker 12: So I wanted to ask you that, but Brian bid
Speaker 12: me to it.
Speaker 2: The scout.
Speaker 7: His size is always going to be intriguing for scouts
Speaker 7: and anything that wants to draft him. I think more
Speaker 7: so it's about putting it together off the field and
Speaker 7: putting everything together as far as applying himself one hundred
Speaker 7: percent to football, And I think if he can be
Speaker 7: able to do that, then I think he's going to
Speaker 7: be a really talented pro. But I think there's going
Speaker 7: to be a little bit of a lapse there in
Speaker 7: the draft process that'll force him to go in the
Speaker 7: second round. But I think he is a firm second
Speaker 7: round pick. Whereas you know, going into the draft process,
Speaker 7: we were kind of wondering where on Day two it
Speaker 7: definitely would be. But I think he goes before pick fifty.
Speaker 2: You've had an advantage with us real quick. You've been
Speaker 2: able to see him physically not a sloppy guy. I
Speaker 2: mean just everything about him put together well and all that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's not sloppy at all. I mean his size
Speaker 7: looks good for a defensive tackle. I mean he's a
Speaker 7: big boy.
Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 7: He's a refrigerator and he's got he's got a little
Speaker 7: bit of a muscle in him too. But I mean, goodness,
Speaker 7: you look back to when he came arrived at Texas,
Speaker 7: he was two fifty to airing on the side of
Speaker 7: two forty gain one and twenty pounds over the course
Speaker 7: of four years.
Speaker 2: I could do that.
Speaker 3: That sounds like me.
Speaker 7: They can think about also playing playing football and going
Speaker 7: through conditioning over the course of four years. And strength
Speaker 7: and conditioning program at Texas under Tory Becton that is
Speaker 7: really rigorous.
Speaker 5: So it forces big.
Speaker 7: Guys to lose weight at times and then they got
Speaker 7: to kind of bulk them up. They do a really
Speaker 7: good job in their strength and conditioning program. But for Sweat,
Speaker 7: it was really impressive to see him add all that
Speaker 7: weight and then in his final fifth year being able
Speaker 7: to really come into his own as a player as
Speaker 7: well and being able to use that weight as a leverage.
Speaker 5: It's really impressive.
Speaker 7: A couple other notes I want to touch on on
Speaker 7: the Texas PROTA and we can move on offensive tackle
Speaker 7: Christian Jones. Cowboys were looking at him closely. You know,
Speaker 7: that's that's a guy who's early day three, late day two.
Speaker 7: We'll kind of see where he falls. I think he's
Speaker 7: gonna end up in the fourth. But forty five games
Speaker 7: of experience. We've talked about him on the show. He's
Speaker 7: played at right tackle, he's played at left tackle. Guy's
Speaker 7: got a ton of experience. He has a high floor.
Speaker 9: Of Brian, Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 7: But I think he is a product that you can
Speaker 7: bring in you know what you're going to get out
Speaker 7: of him. I think he's going to be a really
Speaker 7: good depth offensive lineman at the next level. But I
Speaker 7: think with his experience, he could eventually have the ceiling
Speaker 7: to be a starter or wherever he does land. And
Speaker 7: then last note, Jatavian Sanders to tight end, we're talking
Speaker 7: about him as a top three tight end in this class.
Speaker 7: Didn't look as fluid as he may have may have
Speaker 7: could have been that I've seen in the past from
Speaker 7: him in route running and just kind of getting out
Speaker 7: in the open field. It takes a lot of steps
Speaker 7: in between breaks and things of that nature. But you know,
Speaker 7: the more I started to think on it and understand
Speaker 7: his style of tight end play, he's a physical receiver
Speaker 7: and he's going to use that body to be able to,
Speaker 7: you know, shut a shed guys off of him. And
Speaker 7: he's got the strongest hands I think in this class.
Speaker 7: Whenever you could throw a ball up to him, he's
Speaker 7: going to bring it down somehow. So I think there's
Speaker 7: a little bit of positivity that you could take out
Speaker 7: of that. But I'm starting to worry a little bit
Speaker 7: about if he can consistently get open at the next level.
Speaker 7: You know, when a guy can match his size and
Speaker 7: can match his physicality, what can he do to create separation?
Speaker 7: And I think that's probably where he's gonna find a
Speaker 7: little bit of a you know, rookie hesitance, and that's
Speaker 7: probably something he's gonna have to work on. But I
Speaker 7: still think he's a firm second round guy.
Speaker 4: Lots of good notes coming out of Texas As.
Speaker 2: Did you get one more?
Speaker 9: You get when you just go catch one more?
Speaker 5: Let's go?
Speaker 9: It's worthy? Really that small.
Speaker 7: Uh one sixty five I test yesterday. I put him
Speaker 7: in about one seventy, so probably in that same range. Yeah,
Speaker 7: he's he's frail, and you look back at Texas last
Speaker 7: year and he had to come out of games multiple times,
Speaker 7: three to four times. Off the top of my head,
Speaker 7: Oklahoma for sure, Texas Tech for sure. I think he
Speaker 7: came off once during the playoff game as well against Washington.
Speaker 5: That worries you.
Speaker 7: It definitely does, because if you're getting banged up at
Speaker 7: three times in a season where you're having to come
Speaker 7: off the field and then reinserted back in and those
Speaker 7: one I think it was the Texas Tech game where
Speaker 7: they were carrying him off the field and like, well
Speaker 7: they just lost Xavier Worthy for the playoffs.
Speaker 5: They ended up bouncing back. But I worry about the
Speaker 5: size a little bit.
Speaker 2: Ideah, okay, thank you.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Lots to look forward to, though, because there's legitimate what
Speaker 4: is that three players that the Cowboys are looking at
Speaker 4: that could possibly be drafted out of Texas? Maybe four
Speaker 4: if you throw in Chris Jones, Jonathan Brooks seven.
Speaker 5: I forgot about that Brooks, Yeah, you get. You look
Speaker 5: at the two look at the two receivers.
Speaker 7: Granted, I don't think they're going to take a receiver
Speaker 7: that high, but they met with those guys at the
Speaker 7: combine the two defensive tackles. I think Byron Murphy is
Speaker 7: starting to maybe slide into that twenty range. I think
Speaker 7: the defensive tackle, I think the defensive tackle value in
Speaker 7: this class it's starting to finally like settle around that
Speaker 7: twenty range. Because this man, it's been here and then
Speaker 7: it's been there. I think it's starting to be around
Speaker 7: that range. And you look at Jalen Ford, Christian Jones,
Speaker 7: Jonathan Brooks's a.
Speaker 2: Lot of backers they're hunting linebackers. Thats why we're hearing
Speaker 2: the bus about Ford, I believe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And every team I feel like in the
Speaker 4: NFL needs linebackers, especially this Cowboys team.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Let's play some fill in the blank. So Brian, you
Speaker 3: have this this second playing down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and maybe some Texas names will pop up in
Speaker 4: these you never know in these segments. But let's talk
Speaker 4: about filling the blank for Thursday. Let's talk about what
Speaker 4: you've got going on here.
Speaker 5: What's first?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first thing I want to talk to and Bobby,
Speaker 2: I'll start with you on this one.
Speaker 9: I'll get you.
Speaker 2: Involved in the programmer early. And these are questions I have,
Speaker 2: and I want you to fill in the blank with
Speaker 2: the player. Just give me a little short explanation if
Speaker 2: you can, no, none of a service short. We're all
Speaker 2: kind of long winded, me especially, it's very long winded.
Speaker 2: But I just want you to kind of tell me
Speaker 2: when I asked the question, fill in the blank with
Speaker 2: the player, and then give me a little reason why
Speaker 2: you think this.
Speaker 9: Okay, Bobby, I'll start with you.
Speaker 2: Bobby, I worry about this player going right before the
Speaker 2: Cowboys pick at twenty four, oh.
Speaker 8: Man, So like the easy answer there is obviously just
Speaker 8: to say they're preferred tackle or whoever that is to me.
Speaker 8: The guy that I'm curious about right now is we
Speaker 8: see Geiton and Mems and some of these guys who
Speaker 8: are right side only players, and if you're potentially looking
Speaker 8: at a left tackle hole here, you know.
Speaker 5: It would be pretty disappointing.
Speaker 8: If you got somebody like uh Fatanu from from watching,
Speaker 8: that would probably be the top one for me, just because.
Speaker 9: It kind of slid to you in that hGe Yeah, if.
Speaker 8: You got him down around that range, which there's no telling,
Speaker 8: I don't know how people are gonna talk about this.
Speaker 8: There's buzz out there now. People are wondering if Olu
Speaker 8: fashion who is gonna start sliding into the teens. I
Speaker 8: don't think there's any chance, but that's the kind of
Speaker 8: stuff that people start discussing there, and so that one
Speaker 8: would hurt for me. I just I think that there's
Speaker 8: so many offensive linemen here that you're gonna find something.
Speaker 5: You should be happy with.
Speaker 8: But if you got you know, Fatanu down to like
Speaker 8: your range where you wanted, that would be pretty disappointing
Speaker 8: to miss out on that.
Speaker 9: How about you, Nick?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Goshtan is a really good answer. I'm gonna try
Speaker 7: to go in a different direction. I'm gonna focus more
Speaker 7: on since Minnesota's picking at twenty three, I'm gonna focus
Speaker 7: on their needs and a guy that would kind of
Speaker 7: they would take in that in that in that spot
Speaker 7: that could, you know, maybe hurt the Cowboys, and which
Speaker 7: case I would go, goodness, Liotu Latsu. They need an edge,
Speaker 7: and you know, the Cowboys don't necessarily need an edge,
Speaker 7: but if they start seeing that name fall, we'll be
Speaker 7: talking about it on this show. You know, if it's
Speaker 7: twenty one, twenty two, he's still on the board, it's like, hey,
Speaker 7: you know, maybe maybe go ahead and take one.
Speaker 5: Here, go ahead and take this elite edge.
Speaker 7: You got two elite pass rushers that you can pair
Speaker 7: on opposite sides of each other.
Speaker 5: But maybe that's it.
Speaker 7: It wouldn't hurt in the grand scheme of things whenever
Speaker 7: needs come around, because then you could just take that
Speaker 7: tackle or take that center. It probably works out better
Speaker 7: for you in the long run, honestly, but there would
Speaker 7: definitely be some disappointed fans if Flyout two Latsu was
Speaker 7: picked at twenty three.
Speaker 4: Howbout you, Kyle, You got one yeah, I'll go a
Speaker 4: different direction. I'll go how about Graham Barton out of Duke,
Speaker 4: and there's a little bit of buzz for him to
Speaker 4: maybe slip into the back half of the first round
Speaker 4: at this point. The solid player, high floor like you
Speaker 4: were talking about earlier, and a guy that could plug
Speaker 4: and play at the center position, guard position, and he
Speaker 4: played a little bit of tackle as well. If you're
Speaker 4: looking at twenty one and twenty two, that's Miami and Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: Those two teams both need interior offensive lineman and they
Speaker 4: need it desperately. I'm worried that if Jackson powers Johnson,
Speaker 4: I think he's still probably gonna go pretty early. Then
Speaker 4: you've got Graham Barton in there as well twenty one
Speaker 4: or twenty two. He may not be a graded first
Speaker 4: round player, but we've seen it in the mid twenties
Speaker 4: the last couple of years that Dallas has been very
Speaker 4: good at taking their top player on their board in
Speaker 4: the second round, their highest graded second round player, and
Speaker 4: I think he would be in that same category. But
Speaker 4: if he slips right before them, I think that takes
Speaker 4: an option away from whatever you would try and do
Speaker 4: at that twenty fourth spot.
Speaker 2: How Yasha.
Speaker 12: So listen, I might sound like a hater a little bit,
Speaker 12: but y'all just gonna have to let it be.
Speaker 13: I would worry about there being a.
Speaker 12: Run on tackle and you get there at twenty four
Speaker 12: and someone like Patrick Paul is there and they're like, Okay,
Speaker 12: I want to fill this tackle spot.
Speaker 13: This is the best guy on my board.
Speaker 12: I'm not a big fan of his day one availability
Speaker 12: and what he can do. I don't know how you
Speaker 12: guys feel about him, but I do think there is
Speaker 12: going to be a run on tackle and there might
Speaker 12: be some guys in that in between spot that you're
Speaker 12: just like, he's okay, but I'm not in love with the.
Speaker 3: Players settle on the guy mane.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Yeah, that's what I mean, especially with a lot
Speaker 12: of the urgency that you can kind of feel that
Speaker 12: they want to fill the tackle spot maybe, I mean,
Speaker 12: depending on how you talk about it. So I'm I'm
Speaker 12: worried about something like that happening where there's just a
Speaker 12: run on tackle and they're set on tackle and that's
Speaker 12: what they do instead of doing the better thing by
Speaker 12: getting an edge that you need as well, or one
Speaker 12: of these skilled player positions.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an interesting point too.
Speaker 7: Because whenever these tackles do start flying off the board,
Speaker 7: which I'm anticipating it's starting to happen really at about sixteen.
Speaker 2: Yes, if it's like, yeah, we're gonna have to sweat
Speaker 2: some If you're here for that.
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 7: And I think if you're at twenty four there and
Speaker 7: your top four, top five guys are off the board,
Speaker 7: then you're in Barton's off the board.
Speaker 5: Jacks Powers Johnson is off the board.
Speaker 7: Do they just take a guy like a Patrick Paul
Speaker 7: or Kingsley suwea Mattia who they might be reaching on
Speaker 7: a little bit, but just to go ahead and grab one. Hey,
Speaker 7: we got this guy in hand. They better track back
Speaker 7: in that scenario. Yeah, but just go ahead and grab one,
Speaker 7: just to have it and then just call it a
Speaker 7: day in the.
Speaker 2: First Okay, here's my next question for you then, too,
Speaker 2: is if the Cowboys do trade back to say Baltimore's
Speaker 2: pick at thirty, I hope this guy is there.
Speaker 5: For them, Grand Barton.
Speaker 3: It's funny that it's the same answer as my first one.
Speaker 4: I'm worried that he's gonna go before the Cowboys, But
Speaker 4: then I'm worried.
Speaker 3: I can't probably do both right, because if.
Speaker 2: You're going to trade back, you're going.
Speaker 3: To anticipate him being there.
Speaker 2: I would say, let's say let's say Mims.
Speaker 4: Let's say he's falling and he's one of those guys
Speaker 4: that at thirty and.
Speaker 3: You're there with Baltimore, you want him to fall or.
Speaker 4: Maybe Tyler Geitton, maybe a back end tackle that you
Speaker 4: feel like maybe you could snag at thirty.
Speaker 3: Let's go with one of those two guys.
Speaker 5: You think, Bud, what's the phrase it? For me? Again?
Speaker 2: If the Cowboys trade back to Baltimore's spot at thirty,
Speaker 2: I hope this guy is there.
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams.
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, because if you're trading back to thirty, that
Speaker 8: tells me your offensive lineman it didn't match up for you,
Speaker 8: or you feel confident that all right, we would take
Speaker 8: him there, but we feel confident they'll be there at thirty,
Speaker 8: so we can move back.
Speaker 5: Let's pick up some extra capital.
Speaker 8: We don't have that fourth round pick, so man, for me,
Speaker 8: I would hope one of the centers would still be
Speaker 8: there if there was a run on tackles like that,
Speaker 8: So Barton for me or Jackson powers Johnson, I would
Speaker 8: hope that they would be.
Speaker 7: There Jackson Powers Johnson is an interesting one because I
Speaker 7: think he's getting a lot of attention this week because
Speaker 7: it's depending how you guys feel about these experts out
Speaker 7: there and in this room. Mel Kiper has not included
Speaker 7: him either of his mock drafts, all three of them.
Speaker 7: Daniel Jeremiah is starting to slip him a little bit,
Speaker 7: So I wonder if there was something maybe at the
Speaker 7: combine that teams are starting to maybe have a little
Speaker 7: bit of hesitance on.
Speaker 5: But I mean, you cut on the film. The dude's
Speaker 5: a dog.
Speaker 7: I think he's safely a first round pick, but you
Speaker 7: wonder why that slip is happening. Maybe he's a guy
Speaker 7: that you're hoping is there at thirty if you trade back.
Speaker 4: It's one of those things you got to hop on
Speaker 4: the phone and try and figure out what's going on
Speaker 4: here over these next few weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, to me, there's a couple of things
Speaker 2: and the things that could kind of bring it into focus.
Speaker 9: And this is where the media.
Speaker 2: Scouts now have to start to catch up because the
Speaker 2: medical stuff.
Speaker 9: Is there something that we don't know about?
Speaker 2: Is there some type of pre existing injury that he's
Speaker 2: dealing with that now he played through, and now teams
Speaker 2: are like, well, wait a minute, this is a red
Speaker 2: flag for us. You know, we've seen it before with players,
Speaker 2: you know, all these kind of things because this is
Speaker 2: the first opportunity that you have to get any kind
Speaker 2: of medical information. So that's the one thing it does.
Speaker 2: I think it's very astute on your part to recognize
Speaker 2: with Kuiper, and then also too with what Daniel Jeremiah's
Speaker 2: doing that he's kind of dropped that you see him
Speaker 2: starting to drop, and you wonder if they know something.
Speaker 9: Is there something that he's dealing with right.
Speaker 8: Right now, which DJ did in the MACKI just put
Speaker 8: out like two days ago he put Jackson powers Johnson
Speaker 8: at twenty four to Dallas yea, and so he had
Speaker 8: mocked him there. It's just it was a slide from
Speaker 8: where he had had him going previously.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he signed me up. I'll do it either way.
Speaker 2: You have somebody at thirty that you're kind of hoping
Speaker 2: would be there if you trade back this thing.
Speaker 12: So I go back and forth with this because rewatching
Speaker 12: Cooper BB, I've watched him a couple of times. I
Speaker 12: do think if people view him as I'm going to
Speaker 12: Obviously he can play guard. He's guard, but if people
Speaker 12: view him as, oh, I can just move him to center,
Speaker 12: I think that.
Speaker 13: In a way drops his value.
Speaker 12: Like obviously, I know that ciner is something that people
Speaker 12: want now, but I at the same time, I do
Speaker 12: think that that we've seen that position be drafted a
Speaker 12: little later. So for me, I'm wondering if the short
Speaker 12: arms and some of that stuff starts getting to people
Speaker 12: and maybe he slips because there is a run on tackle,
Speaker 12: there is a run on wide receivers and some of
Speaker 12: those guys, and maybe some of these guards get pushed
Speaker 12: to the end of things like that. If Cooper BB
Speaker 12: was there, I wouldn't mind it, because also too, a
Speaker 12: lot of people are having this conversation of a is
Speaker 12: Tyler gonna stay?
Speaker 13: Are you gonna kick Tyler to tackle and you just
Speaker 13: get a guard?
Speaker 12: Is that the more surefire thing to do because we've
Speaker 12: seen Tyler play tackle, you know what he's capable of.
Speaker 12: You bring in a guy that maybe can be insurance
Speaker 12: at guard, but then also to gonna battle for that
Speaker 12: center spot and make some noise in that room as well.
Speaker 12: So that's kind of how I felt about it.
Speaker 13: If that's not weird.
Speaker 2: No, No, Frasier's the guy for me too from West Virginia.
Speaker 2: I think if you got back to the thirty, he
Speaker 2: would be kind of a guy that would hold on
Speaker 2: another one too. That maybe and if I could circle
Speaker 2: back the guy that you might be there thirty that
Speaker 2: I like, And I don't know if he'll be they're
Speaker 2: not Cooper the linebacker from Texas A and M. But
Speaker 2: I'm starting to hear buzz. Yeah, I'm starting to hear
Speaker 2: buzz that he might be. You have to maybe go
Speaker 2: higher on him. I mean, a lot of people had
Speaker 2: him as like a second round guy. Scouts are saying
Speaker 2: the Cooper kid, and I think a lot has to
Speaker 2: do with what we're seeing with some of the health
Speaker 2: of some of the linebackers YEA in this group, and
Speaker 2: everybody's saying, well, Cooper might be a guy that gets
Speaker 2: moved up up around and so he might be a
Speaker 2: guy that might be taken ahead of you. If you're thinking, oh,
Speaker 2: we can move back and maybe get a guy like that,
Speaker 2: maybe he goes before you and now you're kind of like, darn, we.
Speaker 9: Just lost a guy.
Speaker 8: I think Cooper is solidly top forty right now. I
Speaker 8: like solidly, and if there's somebody who goes, we need
Speaker 8: linebacker help here, we need you know, I wouldn't be
Speaker 8: stunned if he were to go back into the first
Speaker 8: When do.
Speaker 13: You guys think the first linebacker goes whenever?
Speaker 5: He goes late first? Early second?
Speaker 13: Yeah, early second.
Speaker 12: So is there a linebacker that you guys I was
Speaker 12: at thirty besides him, besides him, outside of Edwin.
Speaker 13: Cooper the second year? Who is that linebacker you'll be
Speaker 13: okay with.
Speaker 9: I love Wilson. I love Wilson, and I know I'm
Speaker 9: dealing with medical.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean if i'm if I'm there at thirty,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could take Wilson over Frasier
Speaker 2: or another tackle. I don't know if I can do that.
Speaker 3: It's kind of where I'm at. I like Junior Colston
Speaker 3: for Michigan a lot.
Speaker 4: Colson specifically is a guy that I think could plug
Speaker 4: and play right now, but I'm not going to take
Speaker 4: him at thirty because I would have so many different
Speaker 4: prospects that I would like in that area.
Speaker 12: That's why I was asking. I was like, I wonder
Speaker 12: if there's at least maybe there's maybe two linebackers that
Speaker 12: are going to go in the first round of.
Speaker 2: Me if that got time for one more Brian Okay,
Speaker 2: media scout, Okay, we'll start with you on this one
Speaker 2: called then Okay, media scouts are not giving this guy
Speaker 2: enough credit. Somebody that you guys have that media scouts
Speaker 2: are not giving this guy enough credit as you watch
Speaker 2: your tape, as you make your evaluations, like they don't
Speaker 2: talk about this guy and they should be talking about
Speaker 2: this guy.
Speaker 4: So it can be just as simple as they're not
Speaker 4: having the conversations that they should be.
Speaker 2: Wherever you feel like that media scouts are missing on right.
Speaker 4: We've talked especially on this show, I don't know about
Speaker 4: outside of this show. We talked about Byron Murphy from
Speaker 4: Texas to Andandre Sweat from Texas, Chris Jenkins from Michigan,
Speaker 4: and Rouquet or Or from Clemson. We haven't talked a
Speaker 4: lot about Gjorjan Newton from Illinois.
Speaker 9: That's really like him.
Speaker 3: As a defensive tackle prospect. I put a first round
Speaker 3: grade on him.
Speaker 4: I think specifically his size is intriguing six foot two,
Speaker 4: three and four, but he moves so well, has some
Speaker 4: pass rush ability at seven and a half sacks last year,
Speaker 4: had pressures on a significant amount of his snaps. It
Speaker 4: felt like in the Big Ten, where he's playing against
Speaker 4: legitimate offensive line competition, he was in the backfield.
Speaker 3: Quite a bit as a defensive tackle.
Speaker 4: So I think there's a chance that he could slide
Speaker 4: into the first round. I put a first round grade
Speaker 4: on him, and if a team is hungry for a
Speaker 4: defensive tackle, he's a guy that I would look out for.
Speaker 7: Fun story about Newton he is there was I don't
Speaker 7: want to throw this name out becase I haven't talked
Speaker 7: him about it, but there is someone in this building
Speaker 7: who helped recruit Newton to Illinois, and I knew I
Speaker 7: knew that guy way back when. And I actually did
Speaker 7: Newton's commitment video bad Yeah, back in like the class
Speaker 7: of twenty twenty. It was like the night before signing day.
Speaker 7: He's like, hey, man, like this guy really just wants
Speaker 7: a commitment video. He's signing tomorrow. Can you just kind
Speaker 7: of throw something together for him? I was like, I
Speaker 7: can try, and it was the biggest piece of garbage
Speaker 7: in my opinion. You'd find it for me, man, Yeah,
Speaker 7: you tweeted out. I still have the text messages for
Speaker 7: managers on Newton talking about this commitment video. It's funny,
Speaker 7: but I like Newton too, and I think this was
Speaker 7: what I was thinking about yesterday and I was doing
Speaker 7: some defensive tackle work this past week, just trying to,
Speaker 7: you know, kind of get some stuff down. And he's
Speaker 7: one that I think just kind of got lost in
Speaker 7: the shuffle because you knew what you were getting. If
Speaker 7: he had come out last year, you were expecting him
Speaker 7: to be in that maybe second round, late first round range.
Speaker 7: He doesn't come out last year, Okay, well that means
Speaker 7: he's going to be a top ten, top fifteen pick
Speaker 7: going into next year. That's what you're thinking this time
Speaker 7: last year. And he continues to have that have that
Speaker 7: stock as the season goes on, really shows some impressive
Speaker 7: stuff both at three tech and one tech.
Speaker 5: They move him around.
Speaker 7: They were able to play him next to Keith Randolph,
Speaker 7: the other Illinois defensive tackle who I think is being
Speaker 7: slept on quite a bit as well. But as this
Speaker 7: draft process has gone on, you've seen Byron Murphy rise
Speaker 7: with this big Swoll frame, and you see to and
Speaker 7: Andre Sweat with a three hundred and sixty six pound frame,
Speaker 7: or ro has this big Clemson pedigree, but it's still
Speaker 7: Newton that you're not hearing as much about, which is
Speaker 7: what have maybe expected coming into the draft process.
Speaker 5: That's a really good one, Kyle.
Speaker 2: I like that, man, Bobby, you got one.
Speaker 8: Yeah, as this let me get clear to hear somebody
Speaker 8: would think media scouts are behind on from the rest
Speaker 8: of the league, or behind on from my perspective of
Speaker 8: how I viewed the player you're now I view the
Speaker 8: player brailing out.
Speaker 5: I think so every week, Yeah, we are. Braylen Allen.
Speaker 5: That's who I want.
Speaker 8: Braylen Allen to me is the second round running back
Speaker 8: I watched Brayleen Allen. That's James Connor to me, like,
Speaker 8: I see Connor like defadly when I watch him play,
Speaker 8: and so I think a lot of people I've seen
Speaker 8: Allan is feels like the ceiling for him with a
Speaker 8: lot of people is like third at Max. But like
Speaker 8: more people seem to him as like an early day
Speaker 8: three type of guy. But Braylen Allen, I think just
Speaker 8: the way that he runs with power and decisiveness, and
Speaker 8: the way that even with his size can slip through
Speaker 8: some of these you know, narrow spots.
Speaker 5: It's very reminiscent to me of Connor.
Speaker 4: I put Brian Robinson Jr. I like what his agility.
Speaker 4: He's got some some sideways lateral ability. He can put
Speaker 4: a foot in the ground and get upfield when he.
Speaker 5: I wish he locked better as a guy that big.
Speaker 5: That's kind of where what I've got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I us you got somebody, Yeah I do, all right.
Speaker 12: So it's a bit unorthodox, and I'm not saying that
Speaker 12: the media hasn't.
Speaker 13: I don't think they're talking about.
Speaker 12: Him because he is a bit of a wild card.
Speaker 12: We've talked about him before. D n E yabe ok
Speaker 12: from and he was he's from Charlotte, Yo.
Speaker 13: The talent on this guy.
Speaker 12: When I looked at the d ns in this in
Speaker 12: this class, I'm impressed by some of them, but it's
Speaker 12: very either or with so many of them, it's either
Speaker 12: they're fantastic as a past rusher, but baby, they don't
Speaker 12: want to set the edge or or you know, they're
Speaker 12: they're not set, they're not set in their legs and
Speaker 12: getting square things like that. And this guy, y'all. So
Speaker 12: the background is a little nuts. He was originally draft
Speaker 12: he was originally drafted to Alabama. He transferred to Houston.
Speaker 12: He's been he's been to. He's been to about four
Speaker 12: different schools, four or five different schools.
Speaker 13: And the guy is six three, two fifty three.
Speaker 12: Just this amazing athlete. The bend is there, the speed
Speaker 12: to power. I mean, he's willing to act, be active
Speaker 12: in the run, the run game. He was out of
Speaker 12: all the ends I've watched, he's the talent. He stands
Speaker 12: out so much to me. But I understand why people
Speaker 12: maybe wouldn't be talking about it because he is a
Speaker 12: wild card. I see this guy going somewhere whole, to
Speaker 12: a good program that can continue to He's he's changed
Speaker 12: his life, He's done some things. He's you know, religiously
Speaker 12: involved and stuff like that. But he deserves he deserves
Speaker 12: a second look. And you know, we talk about this league.
Speaker 12: Guy's getting second chances. He's had a lot of different chances.
Speaker 13: I get it.
Speaker 12: But if you just take the time to watch this guy,
Speaker 12: I would be surprised if somebody didn't decide to, you know,
Speaker 12: to draft this guy and that he goes to a
Speaker 12: program and is he's a disruptor.
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's a disruptor.
Speaker 12: I don't know if you guys have watched him, but
Speaker 12: he's players.
Speaker 5: Fans Michigan, Alabama, U T.
Speaker 7: Martin, Houston and now Charlotte, and that's where he's that's
Speaker 7: where he's landed here and he was at the Shrine Bowl.
Speaker 5: He's a he was.
Speaker 7: You can you can understand why he was recruited to
Speaker 7: those big time programs because you do see those traits.
Speaker 5: It's just developing off the field.
Speaker 7: That's that's gonna be a it's gonna be a maybe
Speaker 7: a high risk, high reward type type deal.
Speaker 5: Maybe on late on day three, but I think that's
Speaker 5: a fun one.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you just got to make sure you're doing your
Speaker 8: homework on where he's that character wise, because he was.
Speaker 8: He was like the number three recruit in the country.
Speaker 5: He was big time. Saban dismissed him.
Speaker 8: Really quickly, refused to talk about why when this guy
Speaker 8: said he got dismissed from Houston pretty quickly. There have
Speaker 8: been a lot of off the field issues with him
Speaker 8: that they'll have to work through and that they'll have
Speaker 8: to figure out. But I mean, just as like perspective
Speaker 8: of how long he's been in school, all these programs
Speaker 8: he went, he went through. He committed to Alabama the
Speaker 8: nine months before the Cowboys drafted Layton vander USh WHOA,
Speaker 8: that's how long he's been in college football.
Speaker 7: Now, I think we graduated in the same high school class.
Speaker 5: Now serious, well maybe I mean you still have eligibility. Maybe, well,
Speaker 5: maybe I'll do.
Speaker 9: It's an interesting guy he is.
Speaker 12: But I'm gonna do some digging with Bobby on like
Speaker 12: exactly what the character things are and stuff like that.
Speaker 12: What I was able to read about him is that
Speaker 12: this last year or so, he has done a lot
Speaker 12: of rehabilitation type things and stuff like that. But as
Speaker 12: far as, like I said, the player, I was heavily
Speaker 12: impressed just watching the player and seeing what the player was.
Speaker 9: K dude.
Speaker 2: Just the places he's been though, I mean, the schools
Speaker 2: that were willing to step up, and it's a it's
Speaker 2: a talent there. I'm gonna throw a guy real quick
Speaker 2: in there. Luke McCaffrey from Rice h He's a guy
Speaker 2: I nobody's talking about it all. And I'll tell you what, man,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm just gonna. I know we're up
Speaker 2: against time. I'm not going to bet against this kid.
Speaker 2: He's I mean, you watched him. He played in Nebraska.
Speaker 2: He was a quarterback, he was a wide receiver, he's
Speaker 2: developing as a wide receiver. We had a lot of
Speaker 2: big conversations about Ricky pearsall last week from Florida and
Speaker 2: those types of players. Luke McCaffrey, though, I don't. I
Speaker 2: don't think people are talking about him nearly enough. And
Speaker 2: I know he's got the famous brother in law, the
Speaker 2: famous family, and all the bloodlines are there, you could
Speaker 2: see it. But the way that he plays the game
Speaker 2: and the way that he goes and gets the football,
Speaker 2: and the way he tries to finish and the toughness
Speaker 2: he plays with, he's going to make somebody a really
Speaker 2: good player.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be completely honest. I was going to the
Speaker 7: Senior Bowl and I see him lined up. I was like, okay,
Speaker 7: this is nepotism. Yeah, and then he actually he looked
Speaker 7: really good. He looked really good. I was like, hey, okay,
Speaker 7: Like he lined up against Chris Abrams drain and one
Speaker 7: rout and I was like, Okay.
Speaker 2: This guy he's learning how to be a wider receiver.
Speaker 2: But the concentration, the ball skills, all that are just super.
Speaker 2: They're going in the right direction. So Luke McCaffrey from Rice,
Speaker 2: he's probably not going to be Day one, Day two,
Speaker 2: but watch him in Day three for sure.
Speaker 8: If only there was a Rice connection here, only only,
Speaker 8: if only there's a couple of them.
Speaker 3: It was funny.
Speaker 4: I had the North Texas Rice game last year and
Speaker 4: he didn't end up playing, but he was. He was
Speaker 4: one of the interviews that they gave us pre game
Speaker 4: because it was like a game time decision sort of deal.
Speaker 5: And he was awesome.
Speaker 4: Just a great guy to talk to. He sounds like Christian,
Speaker 4: he really does. Like they have the same the same mannerisms,
Speaker 4: the same vocal tone. I mean, they are almost spitting
Speaker 4: image whenever it comes to the way that they.
Speaker 3: Process the game and the way they process information. I'm
Speaker 3: right there with you. That's a great.
Speaker 4: One, all right. That was a lot of fun. Thank
Speaker 4: you him, Good names out there. When we come back.
Speaker 4: We've got some twitter on the twenty. It's more like
Speaker 4: twitter on the thirty five. But we're going to talk
Speaker 4: about it when we come back. Answering your questions on

Speaker 5: Dallascowboys dot Com Draft Show.
Speaker 4: Welcome back into the Draft Show, presented by Miller Lyte
Speaker 4: Taste you can depend on. This segment is brought to
Speaker 4: you by your Texas four dealers for it is the
Speaker 4: best in Texas.
Speaker 3: You want to know who else is the best in Texas?
Speaker 3: Chris Beam, Who's about to hit the sounder for some.
Speaker 2: Twitter on.
Speaker 9: It never gets told?
Speaker 2: It never does.
Speaker 4: Keith asks, with all of the current situations surrounding Dak
Speaker 4: Prescott and his contract tied up and not wanting to
Speaker 4: push that money into twenty twenty four, is it crazy
Speaker 4: to think that if a quarterback slips to the Cowboys
Speaker 4: at twenty four, that the Dallas Cowboys may take one
Speaker 4: of these first round quarterbacks. He specifically mentioned Michael Pennix
Speaker 4: from Washington, But I want to leave it open to interpretation.
Speaker 5: If one of those quarterback slips, do.
Speaker 4: You think there's any possibility that the Cowboys take them
Speaker 4: in twenty four?
Speaker 3: Bobby, I'll start with you.
Speaker 8: Nope, Nope, I don't think so. And if you're talking
Speaker 8: about of these quarterbacks like Penix getting to twenty four,
Speaker 8: I don't think that's like a blinking light. If he
Speaker 8: slides down there, It's like, okay, well, there was discussion
Speaker 8: that he could be in this range if somebody were
Speaker 8: to really drop like Jade and Daniels, some impossible fall
Speaker 8: to you at twenty four. That clearly says there's something
Speaker 8: going on here that nobody's you know, picked him yet,
Speaker 8: and that nobody wants to go up and get him.
Speaker 8: So I don't think you're making that sort of a sacrifice,
Speaker 8: you know, as any sort of a leverage play with
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott. There are a lot of things this team
Speaker 8: needs and they don't have necessarily a lot of resources
Speaker 8: in this draft to be able to cover everything that
Speaker 8: they need to. And so because of that, like I
Speaker 8: don't know that you want to use an extra pick,
Speaker 8: you want to use that first round pick on Well,
Speaker 8: let's let's bring in some competition. Let's go do the
Speaker 8: you know, the Steve walshertine. Do I think they take
Speaker 8: a quarterback sometime during the Drupp Maybe? I mean they
Speaker 8: might they could take one day three if they like somebody,
Speaker 8: you know, if they look at traits and say, wow,
Speaker 8: we really like Devin Leary. Devon Leary man, he can
Speaker 8: he can sling the ball, around like, sure, okay, they
Speaker 8: could leave that back the way. Yeah, Kentucky quarterback can tech.
Speaker 8: I don't think there's any chance though that a quarterback
Speaker 8: at twenty four is in play.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There were a number of positions that Dallas didn't meet
Speaker 4: with formally at the combine. Quarterback was one of them.
Speaker 4: They didn't meet with a single quarterback at the combine.
Speaker 4: That doesn't mean they won't address it at some point,
Speaker 4: like Bobby said, and that doesn't mean that there won't
Speaker 4: be a thirty visit quarterback either.
Speaker 2: But you know what, there's a couple of things in
Speaker 2: stuctor here though, if they hadn't traded for Trey Lance
Speaker 2: and they didn't have the mass exodus that they've had
Speaker 2: where their roster was pretty still intact because Ted Thompson
Speaker 2: did it for Aaron Rodgers and we all through that
Speaker 2: draft Aaron Rodgers it was either him or Smith, you know,
Speaker 2: was gonna be taken, and Rogers ended up going to
Speaker 2: twenty four to Green Bay. Ted Thompson, the GM at
Speaker 2: the time, had no intention to drafting a quarterback. He
Speaker 2: was sitting on a defensive lineman and he's like he
Speaker 2: looked at his board and he's like I've got to
Speaker 2: take this quarterback, right and his guys all agreed with him,
Speaker 2: and it ended up being Aaron Rodgers, you know. So
Speaker 2: if Dallas was in a situation where they were still
Speaker 2: dealing with Dak's contract and their roster was complete, where
Speaker 2: they didn't have massive holes in it, and they hadn't
Speaker 2: traded for Trey Lance, I think there's a little bit
Speaker 2: more willingness to maybe do something like that, you know.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's something you could just put out
Speaker 2: of your mind, but that's the scenario. Is not that
Speaker 2: way right now. They've got massive, massive losses in key
Speaker 2: positions for them, and they have a quarterback that they
Speaker 2: thought enough of that they traded a fourth round pick
Speaker 2: for who they had is a second round grade on
Speaker 2: their board. So to me, if you didn't have all
Speaker 2: those factors and one of those quarterbacks felled to you,
Speaker 2: I think I would give it. I would give it
Speaker 2: a look, a very strong look. But we're not to
Speaker 2: that right now. That would be the only way. But
Speaker 2: I just remember Ted Thompson doing it for Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 2: you know, and it worked out for him pretty well.
Speaker 12: I'm telling you one thing, if one that is valuable
Speaker 12: does fall to them if it, or whole them hostage
Speaker 12: and get on the phones.
Speaker 13: Yeah, do something.
Speaker 12: Because I know we're going to talk about it later.
Speaker 12: But Yo, with how kind of like top heavy this
Speaker 12: this draft is, with like the skill players, there's gonna
Speaker 12: be some value there in that fourth fifth round yeap.
Speaker 12: And I think they really do need to figure out
Speaker 12: how to be involved in that day, in that day
Speaker 12: to start a day two situation for real, man, I.
Speaker 7: Think it would be an incredible scenario if one of
Speaker 7: these quarterbacks is sliding and he's there at twenty four,
Speaker 7: because then you can get on the phones and make
Speaker 7: a really good deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody's gonna overpay. Oh yeah, you get there.
Speaker 5: You could get a second probably depending on who it is,
Speaker 5: you could really.
Speaker 3: Get a saying, depending on who it is.
Speaker 5: Depending on who is you can really get it.
Speaker 16: Well.
Speaker 9: You'd have to worry about too. And this is the
Speaker 9: thing about it is you.
Speaker 2: Talk about holding people up, but other people see quarterbacks
Speaker 2: sliding too, and they're thinking the same thing and idea.
Speaker 2: So now you have to gauge. If you're the team
Speaker 2: coming up into the draft, you have to gauge how
Speaker 2: far up you go and how much it's going to
Speaker 2: cost you to get there, you know, and if Dallas
Speaker 2: has no intention of trading for a quarterback or drafting
Speaker 2: a quarterback, you could probably pass on them and stay,
Speaker 2: you know, stay behind them some way somehow. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's going to be a you know, it's going to
Speaker 2: be the teams that are ahead of you are the
Speaker 2: ones that can kind of dictate what's going to happen
Speaker 2: there to you, because teams are going to Saydallas has
Speaker 2: no intention of taking a quarterback, and we can get
Speaker 2: past them and we don't have to pay.
Speaker 9: And everybody knows Dallas will hold you up.
Speaker 2: Too, you know, because you have they don't have a
Speaker 2: third round pick or the fourth round pick.
Speaker 9: Like Ayesha's asking for.
Speaker 4: Our boy Votch, who does great job covering the draft
Speaker 4: and covering the Cowboys as well, he said, what position
Speaker 4: would you be most comfortable not addressing in the first
Speaker 4: three rounds? And he only gives four opportunities, So one
Speaker 4: has to be left out out of these four offensive line, linebacker,
Speaker 4: defensive tackle, or wide receiver. Which one do you feel
Speaker 4: like you would leave out most likely in that scenario?
Speaker 5: Uh, be the wide receiver.
Speaker 7: I'm going back and forth with linebacker, but you need
Speaker 7: another body in that room, so it would be receiver.
Speaker 7: There's gonna have to be a big step up from
Speaker 7: Jalen Tolbert this next season, and I think he's capable
Speaker 7: of it. You saw it from year one to year two.
Speaker 7: I think he's gonna have to make a similar jump
Speaker 7: to year three. I was able to catch up with
Speaker 7: him last week. He's he's ready for that type of
Speaker 7: you know, responsibility. But I still think they need to
Speaker 7: go grab one on day three just to be able
Speaker 7: to throw in that room and compete with him.
Speaker 5: Jalen Brooks.
Speaker 7: I think Jalen Cropper is somebody that was on the
Speaker 7: practice squad last year that I liked quite a bit
Speaker 7: during the draft process.
Speaker 5: So they have some guys in that room.
Speaker 4: So you're telling me one of these Jalen's is gonna
Speaker 4: work out. It's either one to be Tolbert, Brooks or Cropper.
Speaker 4: We're gonna crash something out along.
Speaker 5: Maybe they go get Jalen Kocher out A holy yeah.
Speaker 3: We can just keep on swinging at this, but do
Speaker 3: you really feel comfortable.
Speaker 4: I know, CD okay check, you got CD check, but
Speaker 4: you do not have Michael gallup anymore. Do you feel
Speaker 4: comfortable as your number two receivers being Brandon Cooks for
Speaker 4: one year and then figuring it out with Jalen Tolbert
Speaker 4: and whoever, and then ends up being behind that If
Speaker 4: you don't address wide receiver at any point.
Speaker 7: Yeah, then you're probably talking about a high pick on
Speaker 7: receiver next year. But it's been in really good receiver
Speaker 7: classes the last however many years. True, you're banking on
Speaker 7: that happening one more year.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is I mean the class is just so
Speaker 8: deep at receiver, and I mean we talk about like
Speaker 8: those other positions, even stacking the positions, like, let's forget
Speaker 8: depth in the draft, just look at the positions and
Speaker 8: what Dallas needs to address right now. I would still
Speaker 8: put receiver forth. And then when you consider there's a
Speaker 8: lot of depth here, I think if you're waiting till
Speaker 8: the fifth to touch a receiver, you're probably going to
Speaker 8: end up picking somebody that you have graded higher than
Speaker 8: a fifth because I think there's just so many of them.
Speaker 8: It's so deep, it's so loaded that I think that
Speaker 8: you've got the ability to kind of sit around and
Speaker 8: wait a little bit.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 4: Next one This one comes from Mike Poland across the pond.
Speaker 3: He says, which one would you choose?
Speaker 4: All offensive picks in the first three selections for the
Speaker 4: Cowboys first three rounds, all three year on the offensive
Speaker 4: side or all three on the defensive side? You got
Speaker 4: to pick one or the other. Can't mix your match?
Speaker 4: Which one is your first three picks? You have to
Speaker 4: three select offense?
Speaker 5: Well, no, no, I'm going offense. I'm going offense. I'm
Speaker 5: going offense. By Yeah, I'm going offense.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's all three offense slam dunk because you can't, like,
Speaker 8: I mean, you can't wait till the fifth round to
Speaker 8: touch offensive line.
Speaker 5: It's just that that's what I thought of.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Brian, Yeah, I'm going offense. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the defense that you know,
Speaker 2: how you would do it? How would you what order
Speaker 2: would you go though? If you had to pick three
Speaker 2: defensive players in a row, three positions in a row.
Speaker 5: De tackle, linebacker, tackle, de tackle, lineback.
Speaker 2: Amazing that they do not have technique. I mean, well
Speaker 2: we said we have about Mazie and all that, I mean,
Speaker 2: but but they don't have they don't have I mean,
Speaker 2: I useduld wear mine.
Speaker 13: It's scary times streets.
Speaker 12: And that's why I'm going offense because at this point,
Speaker 12: if they don't do something, somebody do something, you just.
Speaker 13: Go have to score a million points.
Speaker 12: Yeah, because the way that you're handling to back it
Speaker 12: might have to be fifty. This isn't and especially too
Speaker 12: with last year, it is going to be interesting to
Speaker 12: see the change because one of the trends was, like
Speaker 12: you found out that this team didn't get turnovers last year,
Speaker 12: then it was a problem. I'm like, No, this offense
Speaker 12: at this point is just gonna have to score a
Speaker 12: lot of points depending on how Zim does things. I
Speaker 12: just don't some of these holes, Like we talk about
Speaker 12: not having a surefire nose tackle.
Speaker 13: Yea, it's scaring me. It's terrifying. Ain't nobody else nervous?
Speaker 9: I here?
Speaker 3: Are there any gentleman?
Speaker 13: I mean whatever?
Speaker 2: I linebacker or edge at two at the second If
Speaker 2: you were taking tackle first, linebacker or edge with that
Speaker 2: second pick, yeah, yeah, fish, you know which one would
Speaker 2: you do? That's why I'm asking you guys.
Speaker 7: Probably I understand the need for edge, I do, don't
Speaker 7: get me wrong, but I'd probably go linebacker there, like
Speaker 7: do you feel better about do you feel better about
Speaker 7: Sam Williams, Or do you feel better about or Shawn Neeland.
Speaker 14: You know, so.
Speaker 5: It depends, man, there's the answer.
Speaker 8: I honestly, if they picked any defensive position other than
Speaker 8: maybe corner and I could still probably talked into it.
Speaker 8: If they picked any of those defensive positions in the
Speaker 8: top two rounds, I'm probably not complaining. Even safety m hmm, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 8: I don't. I don't feel comfortable. I mean I I
Speaker 8: think there's been way too much underplane where their safety
Speaker 8: group is at right now.
Speaker 9: I died on that hill last year.
Speaker 8: I know Brian and I have gotten killed because I
Speaker 8: just don't think the safety play is good enough here.
Speaker 7: I think they have really good depth though, and I
Speaker 7: think if you're looking around at needs on the team,
Speaker 7: you're looking more for more depth. I love one year Thomas.
Speaker 7: I think Mark Marquise Bell being able to step back
Speaker 7: into that safety role again this year. I think there's
Speaker 7: comfortable depth there, enough to where you don't need to
Speaker 7: address that.
Speaker 5: In the first couple days. In general, I would agree.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing.
Speaker 8: ZIM plays such complex like disguised umbages. I can't have
Speaker 8: anything short of like an upper tier like IQ processor
Speaker 8: at safety right, and I don't know that they have.
Speaker 8: Look at just in general, who Zim's had a like
Speaker 8: Zim or Harrison Smith, Darren Woodson, like guys he's had
Speaker 8: who are really high IQ players who see the game
Speaker 8: that kind of stuff had. I don't know that they
Speaker 8: have that. I think they've got decent safeties, but I
Speaker 8: don't know that they have that elite mental processor, and
Speaker 8: so I would want them to go and try and
Speaker 8: find some of that, whether that be I mean, I
Speaker 8: know a lot of people like Nuban and the way
Speaker 8: that he processes and the way that he sees the
Speaker 8: game and stuff at I think Bishop at Utah is
Speaker 8: another one. Yeah, I like the way that Lead processes
Speaker 8: and so to me, I think safety is a very underrating.
Speaker 8: If they took a safety in the first or second round,
Speaker 8: if they felt comfortable with where the great number was there,
Speaker 8: I wouldn't look at that as a waste of resources.
Speaker 12: I think that's why it's also difficult too with the
Speaker 12: new DC coming in, because the usage of the way
Speaker 12: that ZIM uses safeties is different in a lot of
Speaker 12: ways of how and I do I understand what you're saying, Bobby,
Speaker 12: but I do think that there was It was a
Speaker 12: lot of it was a lot more pressure on your
Speaker 12: safety to do things than what typical safeties is doing
Speaker 12: out here in these streets consistently.
Speaker 13: I think that a lot of those guys.
Speaker 12: Last year specifically suffer because of some of the line
Speaker 12: linebacker play, and it trickled down.
Speaker 13: So I don't know.
Speaker 12: I don't feel like it's like a need at this point,
Speaker 12: but if you did see it's if Nuban is the
Speaker 12: best guy on your board, you just go get them.
Speaker 8: I think a lot of what Quinn did while he
Speaker 8: was here, though, was not minimized, but I think he
Speaker 8: was able to to kind of mask, like he was
Speaker 8: just able to shift around where It's like we're talking
Speaker 8: about if you go watch the tape of Zimmer's Vikings defenses,
Speaker 8: they are doing some elaborate stuff from what they're showing
Speaker 8: you at the snap to then what they're dropping into.
Speaker 5: Coverage and doing.
Speaker 8: And I got to have the guy all the way
Speaker 8: at the back has to know everything that's happening in
Speaker 8: front of him. So to me, it's like if you
Speaker 8: can find somebody who you really trust as a mental processor,
Speaker 8: as somebody to diagnose and be where they're supposed to be.
Speaker 8: Then and you find that they're there in the second
Speaker 8: or third round, you need to take that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we need to take a safe in twenty four
Speaker 9: is what we need to do.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 13: Do you think Rick is going to be better than
Speaker 13: the leak off rip?
Speaker 8: I think Nuban and Bishop potentially are better. Process.
Speaker 4: It's another element of a need that we haven't even
Speaker 4: talked about.
Speaker 13: Safety.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this interesting, it's a whole new wrinkle. We got
Speaker 3: to figure it all out.
Speaker 7: I think an interesting later option at safety is Keaton
Speaker 7: Ola Dapo at Oregon State.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you've gotten a chance to look
Speaker 5: at him out watched him.
Speaker 7: Keaton ol A Dappo a lot of length, Victor Ola
Speaker 7: Depot Keaton ol A Daptoh, okay, sorry, a lot of length.
Speaker 7: I think he stands around six two and a half
Speaker 7: sixty three. Don't correct me on that. I got Travon
Speaker 7: Wallace's height wrong on the last show, and I heard
Speaker 7: about it, so yeah, you know, it happens. You know,
Speaker 7: we can't be perfect over here. We're actually batting very
Speaker 7: very low. But Keaton Ola Dapo got great length. I
Speaker 7: think he could be there in the third, fourth round.
Speaker 7: That could be a fun option. I just wanted to
Speaker 7: throw that one in there.
Speaker 5: Good to know, all right.
Speaker 4: I want to continue answering some questions. We were originally
Speaker 4: going to do a positional spotlight. We're going to save that.
Speaker 4: I don't want to waste any uh positional spotlights and
Speaker 4: maybe try and rush through it. But I have some
Speaker 4: more questions from Twitter on the twenty that we can
Speaker 4: get to here in a couple of moments, including would
Speaker 4: you be willing to trade out of the first round
Speaker 4: if the value is right. We'll talk about that when
Speaker 4: we come back with more of the Draft show right
Speaker 4: after this.

Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not gonna have to buy him all I'm
Speaker 7: not gonna have to do a rookie dinner after the draft.
Speaker 3: Yes, that sounds great now, Ry Jerry will take care of.
Speaker 12: When you When you put it on, it's like like
Speaker 12: you have that moment of like it's a big deal.
Speaker 5: It is a big deal.
Speaker 9: It's a big deal.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 4: We've got a question that has to do with trading
Speaker 4: back in the first round. Of course, trading back is
Speaker 4: certainly an option now that the free agency has gone
Speaker 4: the way that it has for the time. Talking about
Speaker 4: trading back, Brady wants to know would you be willing
Speaker 4: to trade out of the first round if the value
Speaker 4: is significant, if the after was good enough to take
Speaker 4: away that fifth year option.
Speaker 2: Would you be willing to do so?
Speaker 5: Nick Harris, run that back?
Speaker 2: Would you be.
Speaker 4: Willing if the value is there to trade out of
Speaker 4: the first round? Okay, so the points match up on
Speaker 4: the chart, you lose the fifth year option being a
Speaker 4: first round pick.
Speaker 7: It depends how early in the second we're talking. Gosh,
Speaker 7: that's what are you getting back there? What is the
Speaker 7: points match?
Speaker 2: This is where this is where I'm thinking, I'm willing
Speaker 2: to get out of the first round. But the teams
Speaker 2: I'm only willing to deal with are Carolina, I'm the
Speaker 2: Commander's New England, Arizona, the Chargers.
Speaker 3: So basically thirty three to thirty seven.
Speaker 2: Eighth in the second I only want to deal I'll
Speaker 2: and you know why because I want every one of
Speaker 2: their picks to start the top of the next round.
Speaker 9: It's what I want to do.
Speaker 2: That way, they'll give me a pick at the top
Speaker 2: of the round, and that'll give you a pick down
Speaker 2: where I'm picking there in that twenty four.
Speaker 8: Range, it is a perfect points match. If you were
Speaker 8: to take twenty four, jump back to thirty six with Washington,
Speaker 8: and then if Washington gave you seventy eight in the
Speaker 8: third round. That's perfect point match. That matches up exactly.
Speaker 12: I think people are going to be a little bit
Speaker 12: more stingy because they know that this year is like
Speaker 12: those mid rounds are money.
Speaker 9: You are onto something.
Speaker 4: I don't have to sprinkle in a fifth to make
Speaker 4: that worth it.
Speaker 2: You you, everybody's looking at the value of this board.
Speaker 8: It's possible. Here's the only reason why I think Washington's
Speaker 8: a really good target for it. Washington had to spend
Speaker 8: their salary cap floor. They're the most cap of anybody,
Speaker 8: so they've had to fill a ton of positions with veterans.
Speaker 8: They've been on a signing spree, so I mean, if
Speaker 8: you're talking about that, they've got capital where it's like,
Speaker 8: you know, we've already filled a bunch of this We've spent.
Speaker 9: A lot of pies too.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that it may be one of those things where
Speaker 8: Washington's like, well, I mean, honestly, we could get all
Speaker 8: these picks, but we're gonna have to cut a bunch
Speaker 8: of these guys at the end of camp anyway, because
Speaker 8: we signed all these free agents because they were seventy
Speaker 8: eight million under the cap or something like that, and
Speaker 8: they've got to spend a. I think it's ninety five
Speaker 8: percent of the floor or something like that. And so
Speaker 8: they've they've thrown that money around. I mean, we've seen
Speaker 8: four Cowboys players go over there already this offseason, and so,
Speaker 8: I mean, I think Washington makes a ton of sense
Speaker 8: from the draft capital they have and what they've already
Speaker 8: had to fill their roster with.
Speaker 4: If only you had a connection in that building, you
Speaker 4: know has worked in our building the last three years.
Speaker 5: I've only had eight of them or something.
Speaker 2: Like now, you know. But to me, I just do
Speaker 2: you guys understand what I'm saying about trying to get
Speaker 2: those picks at the top of the round. Sure, I
Speaker 2: mean that I'm.
Speaker 5: Not interested at the top of the I'm not.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, pisure picks, but I'm not really interested
Speaker 2: in getting around where I'm at. I'm trying to like
Speaker 2: trying to hit some picks at the top of these
Speaker 2: rounds and then kind of rally in the round with
Speaker 2: my spot and I think that gives you maybe a
Speaker 2: little bit more flexibility there. But you know, I'd be
Speaker 2: interested in doing that absolutely.
Speaker 8: That would be what if like, would you take the
Speaker 8: points don't match up, You'd be getting short changed.
Speaker 5: A little bit.
Speaker 8: But would you take if Dallas from twenty four went
Speaker 8: back to Carolina at the top of the second which
Speaker 8: is thirty three, and then they gave you the top
Speaker 8: of the fourth round one oh one, So you get
Speaker 8: to sit on the board the night before.
Speaker 9: Let's go. Yeah that right, Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 13: You think from that.
Speaker 5: Point they're getting you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you and you again, if you're making them
Speaker 2: to open day three and you've opened a two, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: let me where I mean, yeah, let me sleep on
Speaker 2: my board Carolina.
Speaker 8: Carolina's got two second round picks and they don't have
Speaker 8: a first If they want to go up and get
Speaker 8: the fifth year option, go to Dallas just like all right,
Speaker 8: here you go, here's the fourth round pick, because the
Speaker 8: Chicago's got that pick in the first.
Speaker 7: What was the last time the Cowboys slept on a pick.
Speaker 7: It's probably been a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, Yeah, Well, they knew they wanted to go
Speaker 2: get DeMarcus Lawrence. That was the one where they got
Speaker 2: up in there where they took the commander's pick. I mean,
Speaker 2: the Commanders made a trade with them then. But man,
Speaker 2: there's nothing better than knowing you could start day three
Speaker 2: with this and maybe you have a maybe you have
Speaker 2: a third round grade or a second round grade. You
Speaker 2: have somebody up there like, man, how did they how
Speaker 2: did this guy get through?
Speaker 9: Kind of a thing.
Speaker 4: So the highest pick they had in the last couple
Speaker 4: of years was when they picked at seventy five and
Speaker 4: the third that wasn't sleeping on a pick though, because
Speaker 4: that was the third round, uh one fifteen. In the
Speaker 4: fourth round back in twenty twenty one, they took Jabril
Speaker 4: Cox and that was like picked and.
Speaker 3: Of the day.
Speaker 4: So even then, you're way closer than that normal You said,
Speaker 4: well maybe that's a while back. Uh yeah, I think
Speaker 4: there's there's options for you to trade out of the
Speaker 4: first round.
Speaker 3: It would have to be a perfect sent.
Speaker 2: Who would you Okay, let's say you do trade to
Speaker 2: you trade a Carolina and you start, you start, You
Speaker 2: got picked thirty three. We just did that right or
Speaker 2: our needs the same. I mean I tried to get
Speaker 2: you to thirty and you guys are all hoping for
Speaker 2: a guy. Do you think you could get your guy
Speaker 2: to thirty three that you picked.
Speaker 7: I think you're comfortable. You'd have to be comfortable with
Speaker 7: Kingsley Suelmatia. I think as a tackle option yeah, I
Speaker 7: think he could be there. I think he will be
Speaker 7: there at thirty three. So as long as you're comfortable
Speaker 7: with that being your guy, then that's probably it. But
Speaker 7: I don't I struggle with Barton being there powers Johnson
Speaker 7: most of the tackles.
Speaker 5: That'd be tough.
Speaker 9: How about Morgan? I can't interest anybody. Morgan can't. I
Speaker 9: nobody's gonna go with me.
Speaker 5: If he's at thirty three. I would take him at
Speaker 5: thirty three.
Speaker 2: But people are talking about him as a guard right
Speaker 2: Arizona put them at tackle.
Speaker 3: I am I'm still putting the me tackle.
Speaker 13: Why is there so much discrepancy on.
Speaker 2: What he is? He's short arms, is what people are saying,
Speaker 2: and so I need to figure out. I need to
Speaker 2: ask mc Gang of seven where they got Morgan.
Speaker 12: It's crazy to see how much he's fell out of
Speaker 12: favor in some sense to people, because I felt like
Speaker 12: when we started this process people were.
Speaker 3: I think inconsistency there too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where do you think Latham goes Alabama's tackle?
Speaker 7: That's I think he kind of has the jers On
Speaker 7: Newton disease. I think also, whereas like we were going
Speaker 7: into the draft process, like yeah, Okay, that's first guy.
Speaker 7: All right, what about these other guys? Start sorting these
Speaker 7: guys and you forget all those guys.
Speaker 13: And I wanted that's that's strategy.
Speaker 12: But I also but no, I do think and it's
Speaker 12: messed up, But I do think there is some hesitancy
Speaker 12: with some of the Alabama tackles that we've seen come
Speaker 12: out the last couple of years, no question, and the
Speaker 12: injuries and some of the things like that, the conditioning.
Speaker 12: I do think that might be a reason why he
Speaker 12: baby falls as well, because people are a little hesitant
Speaker 12: at some of the development.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I had a scout tell me you go, I go,
Speaker 2: can this guy play left tackle? And he goes, I
Speaker 2: don't think he can, but I think he'd be an
Speaker 2: all Pro guard.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: To me, I was thinking, hmmm, draft.
Speaker 9: Him left guard? Kick Smith's the.
Speaker 2: Left tackle, two really big powerful guys on the left sid.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we'll run the football now.
Speaker 5: Just for it to be Alex only to the side.
Speaker 2: Alex too long, He was too he was too long? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think he was. He moved in sections when you
Speaker 2: watched him play.
Speaker 9: It's weird.
Speaker 3: Oh man.
Speaker 4: I think every time we end up a draft show,
Speaker 4: it's just like a big sigh of like, Okay.
Speaker 9: It's exhausting.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 4: Let's let's wait and talk about it again on Tuesday.
Speaker 4: Have fun this weekend watching March Madness.
Speaker 3: Everybody stays safe out there.
Speaker 9: Watch your tape too. I watched the tape.
