And I have 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.559 to pass the LSU fans who are left a little 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.080 bit of praise because you and t beat them in 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.360 the n tournament. 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.480 So you know, baby, the calls over here, we got 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:34.600 to give you, We got to give you that. 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.160 No, no, and you know what, and I'm always I'm 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.399 totally okay with that. As long as you went to 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.399 the school, paid your money, and got your degree, you 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.960 can say anything to me that's fair. 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.280 About it was great. I loved it. 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.680 I was watching it all night, couldn't get away from 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.360 the game. I did not go to North Texas though. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.840 Yeah, see, I will take your two grief. I will 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:56.680 not take it. 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.520 I wore your LSU jersey and took a picture in 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:00.360 it with horn down. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:05.640 Yeah that's amazing. That was amazing. Yeah, that was fun. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.840 At least you didn't have my jersey on at the 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.800 National Championship game and wanted to fight everybody from Clemson 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:11.640 like David Helman. 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.200 Yeah, that's that's a helmet, David. 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.720 David stood up in our row and on his chair 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.079 and took on the whole state of South Carolina with 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.679 my nineteen eighty five Sugar Bowl Jersey on. He paid 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.760 his money though he can do Yeah, paid his money, 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.280 but he wanted I go, David, we might be able 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:30.040 to take three of them. 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:31.640 We're not going to take the whole state. 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.000 Whoever steps up first, they're gonna hurt. 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.560 But then we'll actually that we're probably We're probably too. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:37.600 That's funny. 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.480 Helman always tweets out like the goofy Tiger pictures when 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.919 over LSU does something big, so I'd sent him. 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:43.519 A goofy eagle. 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.200 It's not as fun because they don't have like the 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:46.960 boopable nose like up front. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.160 They don't have like the tiger nose. Congratulates. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:50.280 Well we could. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:50.960 It was fun. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.240 The women play in the wb I T tonight against TCUs, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.919 a little town hometown rivalry. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:58.160 There. 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.920 Let's talk some football because, like you said, not only 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.640 is it March madd this week and you got your 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.000 brackets filled out, but you also have pro days. And 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.840 Nick Harris made a little trip down the Central Texas 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.160 to the Hill Country to take a look at some 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.080 Texas longhorns. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.360 Yeah, thirteen of the draft eligible longhorns down participating in 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:16.560 the Pro Day yesterday in Austin. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:17.480 It was good stuff. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.000 Most of the guys did not test, and it makes 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.680 sense whenever you look at all those guys and how 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.480 they performed at the combine, you know, why would they 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.760 test at jail and Ford, the linebacker who you know 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.480 is projected probably early day three. He's starting to see 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.600 his stock rise quite a bit. I think after yesterday's 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.040 Pro Day, scouts were buzzing about him. He did compete 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.440 in all the testing. He did everything at the Prota yesterday. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.560 It looked really good in drills. I was even able 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.680 to catch up with him for about thirty minutes after 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.560 just kind of in the facility and just kind of 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:45.080 catching up on. 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.640 His draft process. And he's been working in Arizona. 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.400 He's living in one of those houses that those those 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.640 guys they'll go train at and live in for you know, 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.280 two three months. And he was even living in a 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.080 house that Odell had bought out at one time. So 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.240 he's been able to be around some NFL guys, Ebo 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.119 Samuels come through, So it's been really cool for Jalen Ford. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.480 He played just here at the Ford Center at Frisco 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.480 Lone star in high school and committed to Texas on 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.400 the last day of the signing period as a as 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.120 a recruit and then had a huge career at Texas 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.160 and one of their guys in the middle of that 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.799 defense who really commanded everything, really versatile, but he's also 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:20.839 got a knack for the ball. He always finds a 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.520 way to get to the ball. He had led the 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.600 team in interceptions as a junior and he was able 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.279 to back that up as a senior. Beam firing up 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.400 the highlights, let's go be But yeah, he looked really 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.040 good yesterday Byron Murphy was doing a little bit of 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.440 agility drills and my goodness, he moves so well for 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.640 his size. He's just swole like a tick, but man, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.840 he can get after it. He can really move around. 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.440 And then something that was really fun yesterday, and I 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.640 know it's I know it's looking forward and looking ahead, 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.000 but I think it's really important to talk about was 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.800 the fact that Quinn Ewers, the quarterback for Texas who 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.800 will be going back to Texas for another year. He 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.480 threw in front of scouts to Xavier Worthy at a 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.279 nin Mitchell Jatavian Sanders, Jordan Whittington, Key Robinson and he 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.679 looked really good, only missed one pass to the left. 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.960 I was trying to get as many scouts opinions anonymously 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.640 as possible, and most of the guys were saying he 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.520 looked really good. It's about those endgame jitters. I think 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.120 with Quinn Yewers, we'll be talking about him as a 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.040 top ten pick next year. 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:15.200 Though. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.640 I'm fairly confident in that if he can just build 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.919 a little bit more confidence and get more confident and 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.120 being in an offense like that, he'll be just fine. 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.760 But he looked really good yesterday and a shortsened T 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.000 shirt and then xavier' worthy Adenni Mitchell Man. The speed 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:29.880 that those two guys have, My goodness, it was on 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:30.960 display yesterday for sure. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.479 Nick. How many did you get a kind of a 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.680 feel about, like when you started talking about Ford the 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.000 number of teams working him out? You know, I know 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.200 we're kind of hunting linebackers here. If you're a Dallas 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.039 Cowboy fan, did you get a feeling like, Okay, it 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.680 was a Buccaneers coach, it was I mean, was there 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.880 a lot of coaches there to see guys like that? 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.880 I know it was a big protect Yeah. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:48.800 It was. 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.800 It was funny you say Buccaneers, Buccaneers Texans. They were 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.640 working with him in drills and things of that nature. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.159 Ryan Watts was also the safety that theb I think 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.640 he's safety. He played corner at Texas. He was working 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.560 out with the Texans as well. So the Texans were 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.560 pretty active yesterday. Their GM Nick Cassario was there. They 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.200 had there was three head coaches there, Zach Taylor from 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.440 the Bengals, Gosh, Mike McDaniel from the Dolphins, and then 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.839 the Colts head coach. What's his name, come on, SI 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.840 there it is Steichen, So yeah, three head coaches. I 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.640 was talking with one of the Texas personnel guys yesterday 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.360 and they were like, we've never had a Pro day 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.599 like this. Ninety six scouts in attendance, three head coaches. 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.920 Cowboys were represented by offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, so he 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.520 was definitely taking a look at Jonathan Brooks, who didn't participate. 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.440 Obviously he's still dealing with the ACL but he was 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.120 still able to talk to scouts and chop it up 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.159 with them. He's taking a thirty visit to the Cowboys 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.320 as well, so that'll be really interesting to see as 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.200 time goes on, and man, that was just making a 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.360 little bit more sense with every day that passes by. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.160 So did you get a chance to visit with him 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:49.320 at all? 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:49.760 I did? 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.000 Yeah, Yeah, give you any timetable of how the procedures 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:53.480 coming along? 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.720 Yeah, is it training camp or how's that house? 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:56.200 Ye looking? 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.119 Yeah, So he's still expected to be ready by training 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.240 camp for whatever team drafts him. It was a clean tear, 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.880 and it was it was probably about as great quote 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.320 unquote as a aclchair could be because he was the 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.200 swelling went down rather quick. He was able to have 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.040 surgery quicker as a result, and since it was a 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.640 clean tear, there wasn't any structural damage or anything like that. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.120 So he's gonna be able to get back on the 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.400 field a little bit quicker. But yeah, he should be 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.640 ready in time for training camp. I think with whatever 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.640 team does draft him, and let's say it is Dallas, 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.480 they're gonna air on the side of caution because that 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.560 is a really talented running back who uses his body 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.120 as part of his style, as part of his running style, 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:31.520 and you want to be able to use one hundred 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.640 percent of that body whenever he does return to the field. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.000 So as long as people air on the side of 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.080 caution early on with him, I think he'll be just 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:38.800 fine as a rookie. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.200 Did you get any feeling from like with Sweat, like 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.800 talking to scouts that maybe he's a first round guy 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:44.520 or I don't think so. 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:45.320 I don't think so. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.480 I was That's what my question was going to be, 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.120 because you talked about some guys just feeling like they 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.720 didn't need to have their pro day. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.640 It doesn't sound like Sweat did anything. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.280 Yeah, didn't do a whole lot at all, now that 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.000 I think about it. I don't think he did anything 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:58.840 now that I think about it. 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.280 And then yeah, and I would argue that he was 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:02.880 one of the guys that when you're watching him at 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.640 the combine, I think some people thought that maybe he could, Yeah, 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.720 he maybe needed that PROTA to maybe raise his stock 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.400 a little bit more. I mean, it wasn't a bad 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.560 performance from him. I think people just expected more from him. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.440 So I wanted to ask you that, but Brian bid 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.480 me to it. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.680 The scout. 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.120 His size is always going to be intriguing for scouts 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.800 and anything that wants to draft him. I think more 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.320 so it's about putting it together off the field and 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.240 putting everything together as far as applying himself one hundred 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.160 percent to football, And I think if he can be 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:35.679 able to do that, then I think he's going to 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.400 be a really talented pro. But I think there's going 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:39.720 to be a little bit of a lapse there in 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.920 the draft process that'll force him to go in the 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.080 second round. But I think he is a firm second 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.520 round pick. Whereas you know, going into the draft process, 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.240 we were kind of wondering where on Day two it 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.679 definitely would be. But I think he goes before pick fifty. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.320 You've had an advantage with us real quick. You've been 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.440 able to see him physically not a sloppy guy. I 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.200 mean just everything about him put together well and all that. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.160 Yeah, he's not sloppy at all. I mean his size 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.280 looks good for a defensive tackle. I mean he's a 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:04.600 big boy. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:05.240 Don't get me wrong. 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.120 He's a refrigerator and he's got he's got a little 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.840 bit of a muscle in him too. But I mean, goodness, 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:14.360 you look back to when he came arrived at Texas, 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.080 he was two fifty to airing on the side of 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.880 two forty gain one and twenty pounds over the course 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:21.520 of four years. 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.080 I could do that. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:23.640 That sounds like me. 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.640 They can think about also playing playing football and going 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.599 through conditioning over the course of four years. And strength 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.160 and conditioning program at Texas under Tory Becton that is 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:34.440 really rigorous. 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.480 So it forces big. 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.040 Guys to lose weight at times and then they got 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.400 to kind of bulk them up. They do a really 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.520 good job in their strength and conditioning program. But for Sweat, 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.520 it was really impressive to see him add all that 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.280 weight and then in his final fifth year being able 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.040 to really come into his own as a player as 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.480 well and being able to use that weight as a leverage. 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:52.600 It's really impressive. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.360 A couple other notes I want to touch on on 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.880 the Texas PROTA and we can move on offensive tackle 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.720 Christian Jones. Cowboys were looking at him closely. You know, 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.600 that's that's a guy who's early day three, late day two. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.240 We'll kind of see where he falls. I think he's 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.199 gonna end up in the fourth. But forty five games 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.440 of experience. We've talked about him on the show. He's 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.800 played at right tackle, he's played at left tackle. Guy's 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.120 got a ton of experience. He has a high floor. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.320 Of Brian, Yeah, there we go. 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.600 But I think he is a product that you can 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:19.800 bring in you know what you're going to get out 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:20.840 of him. I think he's going to be a really 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.400 good depth offensive lineman at the next level. But I 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.720 think with his experience, he could eventually have the ceiling 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.800 to be a starter or wherever he does land. And 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.240 then last note, Jatavian Sanders to tight end, we're talking 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.360 about him as a top three tight end in this class. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.920 Didn't look as fluid as he may have may have 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:37.520 could have been that I've seen in the past from 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.560 him in route running and just kind of getting out 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.280 in the open field. It takes a lot of steps 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.480 in between breaks and things of that nature. But you know, 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.840 the more I started to think on it and understand 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.040 his style of tight end play, he's a physical receiver 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.080 and he's going to use that body to be able to, 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.000 you know, shut a shed guys off of him. And 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.880 he's got the strongest hands I think in this class. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.920 Whenever you could throw a ball up to him, he's 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.480 going to bring it down somehow. So I think there's 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.559 a little bit of positivity that you could take out 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.680 of that. But I'm starting to worry a little bit 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.480 about if he can consistently get open at the next level. 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.160 You know, when a guy can match his size and 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.600 can match his physicality, what can he do to create separation? 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.400 And I think that's probably where he's gonna find a 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.600 little bit of a you know, rookie hesitance, and that's 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.000 probably something he's gonna have to work on. But I 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:20.559 still think he's a firm second round guy. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:25.199 Lots of good notes coming out of Texas As. 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:25.800 Did you get one more? 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.480 You get when you just go catch one more? 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:27.840 Let's go? 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.679 It's worthy? Really that small. 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:34.320 Uh one sixty five I test yesterday. I put him 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.120 in about one seventy, so probably in that same range. Yeah, 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.840 he's he's frail, and you look back at Texas last 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.880 year and he had to come out of games multiple times, 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.559 three to four times. Off the top of my head, 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.920 Oklahoma for sure, Texas Tech for sure. I think he 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.520 came off once during the playoff game as well against Washington. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:52.720 That worries you. 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.120 It definitely does, because if you're getting banged up at 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.240 three times in a season where you're having to come 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.960 off the field and then reinserted back in and those 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.439 one I think it was the Texas Tech game where 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.439 they were carrying him off the field and like, well 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.200 they just lost Xavier Worthy for the playoffs. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.959 They ended up bouncing back. But I worry about the 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:08.560 size a little bit. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:09.600 Ideah, okay, thank you. 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:10.000 Yeah. 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.120 Lots to look forward to, though, because there's legitimate what 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.440 is that three players that the Cowboys are looking at 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.680 that could possibly be drafted out of Texas? Maybe four 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.680 if you throw in Chris Jones, Jonathan Brooks seven. 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.880 I forgot about that Brooks, Yeah, you get. You look 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.440 at the two look at the two receivers. 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.040 Granted, I don't think they're going to take a receiver 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.439 that high, but they met with those guys at the 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.360 combine the two defensive tackles. I think Byron Murphy is 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.400 starting to maybe slide into that twenty range. I think 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.480 the defensive tackle, I think the defensive tackle value in 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.160 this class it's starting to finally like settle around that 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:39.960 twenty range. Because this man, it's been here and then 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.120 it's been there. I think it's starting to be around 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.480 that range. And you look at Jalen Ford, Christian Jones, 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:46.720 Jonathan Brooks's a. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.000 Lot of backers they're hunting linebackers. Thats why we're hearing 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.800 the bus about Ford, I believe. 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.800 Yeah, yeah, And every team I feel like in the 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.600 NFL needs linebackers, especially this Cowboys team. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:55.880 Yep. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.400 Let's play some fill in the blank. So Brian, you 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.760 have this this second playing down. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.120 Yeah, and maybe some Texas names will pop up in 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.880 these you never know in these segments. But let's talk 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.400 about filling the blank for Thursday. Let's talk about what 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:09.439 you've got going on here. 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:09.920 What's first? 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.839 Yeah, the first thing I want to talk to and Bobby, 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.040 I'll start with you on this one. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:14.160 I'll get you. 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.840 Involved in the programmer early. And these are questions I have, 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.120 and I want you to fill in the blank with 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.160 the player. Just give me a little short explanation if 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.640 you can, no, none of a service short. We're all 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.120 kind of long winded, me especially, it's very long winded. 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:26.960 But I just want you to kind of tell me 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.560 when I asked the question, fill in the blank with 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.960 the player, and then give me a little reason why 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:31.480 you think this. 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:32.840 Okay, Bobby, I'll start with you. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.760 Bobby, I worry about this player going right before the 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.439 Cowboys pick at twenty four, oh. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:45.440 Man, So like the easy answer there is obviously just 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.840 to say they're preferred tackle or whoever that is to me. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.920 The guy that I'm curious about right now is we 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.520 see Geiton and Mems and some of these guys who 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.760 are right side only players, and if you're potentially looking 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.640 at a left tackle hole here, you know. 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.000 It would be pretty disappointing. 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.400 If you got somebody like uh Fatanu from from watching, 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.360 that would probably be the top one for me, just because. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:07.960 It kind of slid to you in that hGe Yeah, if. 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.839 You got him down around that range, which there's no telling, 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.240 I don't know how people are gonna talk about this. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.560 There's buzz out there now. People are wondering if Olu 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.760 fashion who is gonna start sliding into the teens. I 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.599 don't think there's any chance, but that's the kind of 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.840 stuff that people start discussing there, and so that one 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.400 would hurt for me. I just I think that there's 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.840 so many offensive linemen here that you're gonna find something. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.040 You should be happy with. 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.600 But if you got you know, Fatanu down to like 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.520 your range where you wanted, that would be pretty disappointing 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:36.280 to miss out on that. 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:37.200 How about you, Nick? 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.120 Yeah, Goshtan is a really good answer. I'm gonna try 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.200 to go in a different direction. I'm gonna focus more 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.560 on since Minnesota's picking at twenty three, I'm gonna focus 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.720 on their needs and a guy that would kind of 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.120 they would take in that in that in that spot 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.720 that could, you know, maybe hurt the Cowboys, and which 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:57.240 case I would go, goodness, Liotu Latsu. They need an edge, 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.000 and you know, the Cowboys don't necessarily need an edge, 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.400 but if they start seeing that name fall, we'll be 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:05.160 talking about it on this show. You know, if it's 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.000 twenty one, twenty two, he's still on the board, it's like, hey, 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.000 you know, maybe maybe go ahead and take one. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.720 Here, go ahead and take this elite edge. 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.080 You got two elite pass rushers that you can pair 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:15.360 on opposite sides of each other. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.320 But maybe that's it. 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.520 It wouldn't hurt in the grand scheme of things whenever 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.200 needs come around, because then you could just take that 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.360 tackle or take that center. It probably works out better 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.520 for you in the long run, honestly, but there would 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.640 definitely be some disappointed fans if Flyout two Latsu was 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:29.240
