1 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang. On today's show. This much we do 2 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: know about the Cardinals twenty twenty one draft class. They 3 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: are athletic, very athletic. Many believe one of the seven 4 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: new players maybe a real steal for where he was selected. 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: But first, what the proper mindset needs to be for 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: every drafted player. It's Cardinals Cover two, Episode four twenty one, 7 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 1: and it starts now. Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 1: Craig Griolu and Mike Jarecki. Cardinals Cover two is presented 9 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 1: by Hyundai, proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and by 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Podcasts. Visit acy Cardinals dot com, Slash Podcasts. 11 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: Murray rolls to the right, throws near sighte of fitz Bob. 12 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: He's into the end zone for the touchdown. Here's Craig 13 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: Griolu and Mike Jarecki. So I heard something yesterday, MJ 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: that I wanted to share with everyone, and I think 15 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: this is what every player who had their name called 16 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: during the twenty twenty one NFL Draft needs to remember. Quote. 17 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: It really doesn't matter where you're drafted. It just matters 18 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: what you bring to a team and what you bring 19 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: to an organization and what you're willing to do every 20 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: day to kind of improve end quote. That is new 21 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: Cardinal Center Michael Minette, the seventh round pick. He addressed 22 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: the media on Wednesday, and I think yes, for his situation, 23 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: a late round selection, maybe a little bit different than 24 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: Zavin Collins. But once you're in the building, what do 25 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: we hear from coaches? Once you're in the building, it 26 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how you got here. It is what you 27 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: do now in the film room and what you do 28 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: on the field. So I like the approach, I love 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: the words, I love the statement. Now, I think hopefully 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: everyone has that same sentiment because nothing is given. You 31 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: have to earn everything. There is though that caveat though, 32 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: MJ there is a little bit longer rope, if you will, 33 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more leeway for some players versus others. 34 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: That is correct, And you know a lot of these 35 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: guys will come in with a chip on their shoulder 36 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: because they you know, just eagle wise and what they've 37 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: been told from agents and scouts. They all thought they 38 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: should be drafted higher. We've heard from Manette twice now 39 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: and obviously mature guy, three year starter, He's a guy 40 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: that knows his role. He talked about He's had a 41 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: conversation Kyle Odegaard's got something on a story on easy 42 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: Cardinals dot com. A Q Shipley obviously went to Penn State, 43 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: and so you know, he knows what he's coming in 44 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: here and facing. It's about learning. But yeah, it's right. 45 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, first, second, third round picks, there 46 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: are are some expectations, but rounds four to seven, you're 47 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: just hoping that these guys can learn to play the 48 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: position they had the mental toughness to play in the NFL. 49 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: And you know him playing the Big ten where it's 50 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: really you know, run the ball, try to play action, 51 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: but it's more of a physical conference. So I like 52 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: what he's saying, and I'm glad that he kind of knows. 53 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's all about opportunities again now that you've 54 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: been drafted, and I think, you know, if you would 55 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: have been an undrafted free agent, probably a little bit 56 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: disappoint You want to hear your name, you have, you know, 57 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: people over your house. Shot want to embarrass yourself. So 58 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: but I think he's got the right mindset coming in. 59 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: He could be a practice squad guy. But the thing 60 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: is he knows he's coming in here to be part 61 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: of the future. It is going to be a long 62 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: road for him even to make the team. I like 63 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: what you said about practice squad and the comparison to 64 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: a Q. Shipley, not only former Penn State centers, but 65 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: ship Remember he bounced around those first couple of seasons 66 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: practice squad with one team or another before he finally 67 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: kind of landed a starting job. And then even after 68 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: getting his starting job, he was always looked to try 69 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: to be replaced in a low and behold, ten twelve 70 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: years later, here he is, and he's got a great career, 71 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: and now he's getting into the coaching ranks again. It's 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: fascinating article up Onaisy Cardinals dot com that Kylo Dugard wrote. So, 73 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: not all seventh round picks are going to succeed, but 74 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: are you willing to put in the work. Are you 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: willing to suffer disappointment, learn from it, grow from it, 76 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: and be willing to if this is your dream, leap 77 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: over every single obstacle that is put in front of you. 78 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: Some guys do it, others don't. And you know, I 79 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: don't want to talk up too much, certainly on some 80 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: of these day three picks MJ. But there are and 81 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: we see it scattered throughout the league, those late round selections, 82 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: those undrafted free agents that do carve out tremendous careers 83 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And if you look at it, 84 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: the guy that they are always trying to replace, and 85 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: he was an undrafted free agent, Lyle Sunline, very similar. 86 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you know, ship go 87 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: are They brought Lyle back for training camp and he 88 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: finally got a nice little contract, you know, otherwise you know, 89 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: he had a bad back, so teams had a red 90 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: flag at him. And then it was Russ Grim that 91 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: told Rod Graves, you know, I want to bring this 92 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: guy in. He was an undrafted free agent. But ere 93 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: Wright Shipley played for Harold Goodwin and he was on 94 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: that staff and the Colts, and then he goes to 95 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Ba's there, and good He's there, and then 96 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: he comes to Arizona and now he's with Goodie and 97 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: BA again and on the coaching staff there in Tampa, 98 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: which was announced to officially this morning. It's also in 99 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: Kyle's story. But yeah, and again there's different ways to 100 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: get to the NFL. And you know, a Q Shipley. 101 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,119 Speaker 1: Let's be honest, they missed him. He was the glue 102 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: of the offensive line when this line was pushing and 103 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: getting four or five yards a pop. And you know, 104 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: Kylin Murray obviously was there, you know, and I thought 105 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: at time, you know, Mason Cole younger and athletic, but 106 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: it was it was imperative to have Shipley and they're 107 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: help making the calls. And we know Kyler took a 108 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: ton of sacks that year. Yeah, it's a look. Every 109 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: team wants all of their draft picks to be successful, 110 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: but we know that it is not always the case. 111 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: So hopefully you do find that diamond in the rough, 112 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: and whether that is Minette, we'll have to wait and see. 113 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: As we continue here on Cardinals. Covered two presented by Hunday, 114 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Also want to pass 115 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: this along another announcement by the Arizona Cardinals, and this 116 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: is very important and a tip of the cap to 117 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the organization for the creation of the Adele Harris Scholarship. 118 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: This is to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Harris becoming 119 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: the first African American woman to hold the front office 120 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: position in the NFL. This is a ten thousand dollars 121 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: scholarship that will be awarded annually to a graduating high 122 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: school student in Arizona who is interested in pursuing a 123 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: career in sports. Now, I know, MJ you know about 124 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: the backdrop or the background if you will, of Harris, 125 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: But for those who might not know, she spent twenty 126 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: six years in a variety of roles with the Cardinals 127 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: before retiring in two thousand and one. She passed away 128 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven at the age of sixty five. 129 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: Joined the Cardinals in nineteen seventy one as an assistant 130 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: in the PR department, worked her way up to become 131 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: Director of Community Relations in nineteen eighty. And I think 132 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: her legacy, if you will, she played a key role 133 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: in the formation of Cardinals Charities, which does wonderful work. 134 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: Some we know about, others we don't. But again, tip 135 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: of the cap to the organization, because I think this 136 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: is outstanding not only to honor Adele Harris, but also 137 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: now to get someone that is interesting in what this 138 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: career is, whether it's you know, there are a number 139 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: of different roads you can go when you travel into sports. 140 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't always have to be the athletic version. But 141 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: it is a great gesture and I think a great 142 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: move with the organization to give back, if you will, 143 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: to someone within the state that is interested in pursuing 144 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: a career. Yeah, she was beloved in that building. She 145 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: had a great relationship with mister Bidwell and obviously down 146 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: to the kids. When you when I started covering the 147 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: team maybe twenty six, twenty seven years ago, you knew 148 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: who Adele Harris was and what she stood for, and 149 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: the fact that she was with the team in Saint 150 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: Louis and made the jump here to Arizona and then 151 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: she definitely moved up to letter but African American, and 152 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: then when the Cardinals also had Rod Grays and Denny Green, 153 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: African American general manager and head coach. So they've been 154 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: doing this And I'm glad you mentioned the charity part 155 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: because I don't think mister Bee got enough credit. There 156 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: were times that the cameras weren't around, and he did 157 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff with the reservation when it came 158 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: to providing uniforms in different you know, supplies. But I'm 159 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: glad Adele Harris was and still is well respected in 160 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: that building. Matter of fact, there's pictures of her in 161 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: the building. And so, like I said, if you cover 162 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals and you got a chance to be in 163 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: the building around the building, you knew who she was. Yeah, 164 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: she is featured prominently as far as when players walk 165 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: through and get a tour of that facility.

All right, 176 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: m J, let's continue to kind of discuss the twenty 177 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: twenty one Arizona Cardinals NFL drafts and we will be 178 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: hearing more and more about these players and getting to 179 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: know them, because I'll admit, not all of these players 180 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: these seven new faces are household names, so they just 181 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: aren't unless you're a die hard. But there are a 182 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: lot of names that we are getting more and more 183 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: familiar with and a couple of names I do want 184 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: to talk about here on this edition of Cardinals Cover 185 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: two presented by Hunday Proud, partner of the Arizona Cardinals. 186 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: Both general manager Steve Common head coach Cliff Kingsbury mentioned 187 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: Marco Wilson, the Florida cornerback, when they were asked who 188 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: they thoughts may be a steal and I think that 189 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: is certainly something that everyone aspires to be because you're 190 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: that Day three pick and argue that steel. He is 191 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,239 Speaker 1: certainly someone that I think has the measurables to be successful. 192 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: He has the size, he has the speed, The athleticism 193 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: is there. It's just a matter of okay, can you 194 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: get the job done? Can you now cover corners? Do 195 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: you have that skill set to be a pressman cover 196 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: or an outside kind of a cornerback or an inside cornerback. 197 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: And the athleticism you love, now it's just a matter 198 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: of okay, how does it show up on the football field. Yeah, 199 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 1: you're talking about a guy that tore his ACL in 200 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: high school, and he suffered another ACL injury back in 201 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. He played all thirteen games. In twenty nineteen, 202 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: he played two nine games or ten games in the 203 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: opted out of the Bowl game. There, but all the 204 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: measurables are there. And when you talk about Wilson good size, athletic, fluid, toughness, 205 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't play with consistent urgency, discipline or field. Wasn't 206 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: a playmaker on tape, but he eventually can push starting 207 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: reps and shows this improvement on NFL coaching. But on paper, Craig, 208 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: I gotta think right now, I don't think they're done 209 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: filling that room, because I do think they're gonna have 210 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: to bring in some veteran guys. But on paper, I 211 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: think right now he's your fourth corner. I mean, you 212 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: look at the top three guys and Malcolm Butler, Robert 213 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: Alford and then he's throwing Byron Murphy and he got 214 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: Chase Whittaker there. And the good thing about a guy 215 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: like Wilson, he's got some versatility to him. Yeah, that 216 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: is something that I really like as far as the 217 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: ability to do more than one thing, especially in a 218 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: pinch and hopefully they'll be able to give him some time. 219 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: But as you mentioned the depth chart, yeah, you've got 220 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler on one end, but the question mark is 221 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: who's on the other side of the field. We've always 222 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: asked that question when Patrick Peterson was in uniform. Now 223 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: we're asking it with Malcolm Butler. Because if you want 224 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: to keep buyer Murphy in the slot, you've got Robert Alford. 225 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: It isn't played in two seasons, So what do the 226 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: Cardinals do. You've got some options, and I think maybe 227 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: down the road they'll have to add someone. I just 228 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable right now with how that cornerback room 229 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: looks here in the month of May. Now, there's no 230 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: game to be played until September, so there is time, 231 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: but I would like to see perhaps I wouldn't say competition, 232 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: but I just would feel more comfortable if there was 233 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: another veteran to go along with a Robert Alford, especially 234 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: if you want to keep Murphy inside. Yeah, and I 235 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: think that you know again, you know, after I think 236 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: it was Monday after one o'clock local time when you 237 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: can sign start street free agents, undrafted free I'm sorry, 238 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: street free agents, unrestricted free agents, and doesn't come against 239 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: the formula. So I gotta think they have their EVE 240 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: and a couple of guys now based on when it 241 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: comes to veterans, you know how they're going to approach 242 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: the offseason or some guys waiting. But you would think 243 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: if you're going to a new team on a one 244 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: year deal for the minimum, you want to get in 245 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: there as soon as possible to start learning things. Even 246 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: though a veteran guys probably played in a man and 247 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: man press defense, played in his own defense. But I 248 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: do think you got to bring in some experience. I 249 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: think they got enough youth now with Gowan and then 250 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: you're throw in Wilson and Chase Whittaker, and they got 251 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: some other younger guys, and we'll see some of these 252 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: undrafted free agents, but I think any more experienced guys. 253 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: And there's guys out there. You know, Casey Hayward was 254 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: a guy that people thought, but it looks like you 255 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: signed with the Raiders, and Steven Nelson's out there. I 256 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: still think he's looking for somebody to go down. There 257 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: are teams that have some flexibility with cap space and 258 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: so but I do think you got to bring in 259 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: some veteran guys. I don't know where Drake or Patrick 260 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: is on the list. He was in the defense last year, 261 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, it kind of helped him out, you know, 262 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: obviously when things were going a little haywire in the secondary. 263 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: So but I agree with you. It can't be just 264 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: young guys. You gotta you gotta flood with some veteran 265 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: players Jonathan Joseph as well, who came in in a 266 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: pinch that really helped. Now, you're not looking for lockdown 267 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: corners those there are very few of those out there, 268 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: But it might be something that this team has to 269 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: kind of piece together unless Marco Wilson really steps up. 270 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: The other option, as you mentioned, is Tay Gowen, and 271 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus called Gwen one of their best value 272 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: picks of the draft. Now here's a sixth round selection 273 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: two twenty three overall six foot one, one hundred and 274 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: eighty six pounds at a Central Florida might have slipped 275 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: through the cracks, to use the phrase of general manager 276 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: Steve Kin, because he did not play last season after 277 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: opting outs because of his family situations, with which we 278 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: detailed on an earlier episode of Cardinals Cover two. But 279 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: this is what Pro Football Focus wrote and what they 280 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: like about Gawen, and they go back to twenty nineteen. 281 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: Gawen was one of the highest graded corners in the country. 282 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: They write that season he allowed only twenty completions on 283 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: fifty targets for two hundred and seventy four yards with 284 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: two picks and seven pass breakups. Now we've heard that 285 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: kid say that he can play, talking about Gwen really 286 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: good press corner Pro Football focus. In man coverage, Gawan 287 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: allowed only five completions on twelve targets for seventy one 288 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: yards on one hundred and seven coverage snaps. Again, this 289 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: is just that one season of twenty nineteen great film, 290 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: but it is just that only season because earlier in 291 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: his career he played at community college, only played three 292 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: games at Miami of Ohio, so not a lot of tape. 293 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: But the tape that the Cardinals do have on Gawen 294 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: is outstanding six fee six. He ran a four four seven. Yeah, 295 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean the overall gown favorable length, confidence with ball skills, 296 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: but his average speed and tightness in his transition will 297 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: be tough to mask against NFL route runners. But again, 298 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: he was projected to either go in the third day 299 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: or undrafted free agent. But once again, once the Cardinals 300 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: got to Day three, they were able to move up 301 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: and get Marco Wilson and then obviously took another flyer 302 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: in Gwen. But you're just trying to add some athleticism. 303 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: You mentioned Red shirted at Miami of Ohio, and then 304 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: he was at Butler Community College in Kansas City in 305 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, didn't play, and then he was at University 306 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: of Central Florida and he opted out on September first 307 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. Yeah, he opted out because of his 308 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: young daughter who was born premature and then his mom 309 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: was hospitalized with COVID nineteen, So a family decision for 310 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: Gallan as far as why he did not play in 311 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. More from Pro Football Focus, they had Gallan 312 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: as a top one hundred player. Now, there is a 313 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: love hate relationship when it comes to Pro Football Focus 314 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: MJ with players and even some of the media and 315 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: some of the fans, because what Pro Football Focus looks 316 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 1: like looks at might not be what was actually asked 317 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: of a certain player, So you're kind of guessing a 318 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: little bit. Now They've got a lot of people involved 319 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: in this company. Chris Collinsworth is one of the big names. 320 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: So it's not like you just having people watch film 321 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: who don't know what they're doing. But it is hard 322 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: to evaluate a player if they think you were supposed 323 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: to do X when you were really told to do 324 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: why and that wasn't your responsibility. Offensive linemen sometimes cornerbacks, 325 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: that would be something to wear. You know, when it's 326 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: good news, it's great to highlight. When it's bad news, 327 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, well, why did you not get a 328 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: good grade on this game? And I think that was 329 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: something Justin Pee always talked a lot about when especially 330 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: when it came to how to grade an offensive lineman. Wow, 331 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: if you watch Sunday and a football, I mean you're right. 332 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: Chris Collins's has a piece of the company. They're in Cincinnati. 333 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: Every team subscribes to it because they want to cross 334 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: check the coach's film to what they see. Just go 335 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: back a couple of years ago. I mean, I know 336 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: the Cardinals will get criticized, and rightfully so because the 337 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: Andy Isabella picked in pan out, but they had him 338 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: ranked high. I mean they he was one of their 339 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: top wide receivers just based on his speed, the way 340 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: he played against the SEC in Georgia that game where 341 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: they showcased him. Listen, this is what I know on 342 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. They work diligently, they put the work. Now, 343 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: they had guns cutting him there and he recently he 344 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: passed away, and they have Bruce Grabtkowski working there. He's 345 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback. What I was told is they're trying to 346 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: go after former head coaches or coordinators because there are 347 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: people around the league still don't think they know what 348 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: they're looking at. Again, anybody can watch film, Craig, do 349 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: you know what you're watching? And Bruce Grabtkowski is a quarterback. 350 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: He only sees it from the quarterback angle, Craig. They 351 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: work around the clock and they put the work in. 352 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: But at the same time, though, what are they watching? 353 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 1: So it's a love hate relationship. You like the numbers, 354 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: but again it's only a tool. It's not the Bible. Yes, 355 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: And I like that description a tool because it gives us, 356 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, fans and the media a little bit better understanding, 357 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: because we want to know what we're watching. We don't 358 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: always know what we're watching. And I learned a little 359 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 1: bit of a side here because this was I don't know, 360 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: maybe three four or five years ago, and sacks. Who's 361 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: responsible for sacks? Is it the offensive lineman? Is that 362 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback, the receivers not getting opened. So not all 363 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: sacks are created equal. And I learned that a long 364 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: time ago. To kind of pay attention to more big 365 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: picture a little bit difficult when you're watching it on television, 366 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: but if you're at these games, really watch the entire field, because, yeah, 367 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: a quarterback might be sacked five times and you immediately 368 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: point to the offensive line, Well, how much time is 369 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: the offensive line given the quarterback? How much time does 370 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: the quarterback have in the pocket, And certainly something that 371 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: you are the wide receivers doing their job to get open, 372 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: so the quarterback has time or has the ability to 373 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: throw the football. So it all works in tandem. But 374 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: as you said, a great tool. So going back to 375 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: where we started this conversation, as far as Tay Gowan, 376 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: one of the best value picks of the twenty twenty 377 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: one NFL draft, Pro Football Focus again had Gowan as 378 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: a top one hundred player and the Cardinals got him 379 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: with pick number two twenty three. Gawan, according to Pro 380 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: Football Focus in twenty nineteen, allowed just a twenty six 381 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: point six passer rating in single coverage, second lowest in 382 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: college football over the past two seasons. He allowed twenty 383 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,479 Speaker 1: five yards or fewer in nine of his twelve games 384 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: played as Central Florida. These numbers, MJ are outstanding. Yes, 385 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: it's just one season, and yes it's at Central Florida, 386 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: but it certainly does sound like he has somewhat of 387 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: a skill set to be a cover corner in the 388 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: National Football League. The question is how quickly does he 389 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: get there? Yeah, six feet one eighty six. He ran 390 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: a four four seven his first ten yards one five five. Yeah. 391 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a case where you know, if Cardinals, 392 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: you know, prefer to play man to man press, get 393 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage and try to press the receiver, 394 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: you know, disrupt his route running, and they're gonna be 395 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: times are gonna play his zone, probably based on the 396 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: opposing quarterback, but they want to they want to stand 397 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: there and get in your face. And so that's that's 398 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: that's really he fits what they want to do defensively. 399 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably fifth, he's gonna have to make 400 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: the roster. But again, just these guys need offseason workouts, 401 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, rookie Minicamp coming up hopefully next week for 402 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: all these guys, and then also we get the veterans 403 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: there for you know, limited action and then training camp 404 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: in preseason games. But yeah, I mean again, you got 405 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: to you gotta get some more experience there. But between 406 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: Wilson and Gowan, though, I think Wilson's definitely got probably 407 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: the upper hand just based on he can play inside 408 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: it outside, but you can never have him cover corners 409 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: that can play press coverage. And again, I want to 410 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: make it real clear here, burd Gang. That's you know, 411 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible about these 412 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: draft picks because we all want them to succeed, and 413 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: Cardinals want them all to succeed. Yet at the same time, 414 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: we know, looking at the history of the National Football League, 415 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: they're not all going to succeed. And sometimes these sixth 416 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: round selections and seventh round selections don't even make the team, 417 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: aren't even on the practice squad. Yet what do we 418 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: have between now and when those decisions are to be made. 419 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: All we have is time to discuss these players and 420 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: get to know them better. So that's what we're doing 421 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: here on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday, proud partner 422 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: of the Arizona Cardinals. Just talking just information base, but 423 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: trying not to talk them up too much to where 424 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: we all of a sudden are counting on them come September. No, 425 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't think we're doing that. I think you know, 426 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: we went through the top fifty, who started to talk 427 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: about guys that you've got a chance to see get 428 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: drafted on this Friday in the second round. But again, 429 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: thirty percent of NFL rosters are undrafted free agents. Okay, 430 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: and then, yes, you want to hit on your top 431 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: three picks, but the belly of your rosters rounds four 432 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: through seven, those guys become special teams players. Those guys 433 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: become depth for you, and now you've got to coach 434 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: them up. And it's all about development. And that's what 435 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: the preseasons were. You evaluate and then you get ready 436 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: for your opener. That's all what it's about. So again, 437 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: four through seven, yeah, they're not all going to make it, 438 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: But the thing is you got the practice squad and 439 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: you can hold those their rights for a couple of years, 440 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: and that's how you get better. I mean, the fact 441 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: that you know you may not play on game day. 442 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: You get to attend games, not road games, insurance, you 443 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: get to work out, you get reps. You're even on 444 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: the scout team, so it's it's more just getting mental reps. 445 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: Not all these guys are going to make the roster, 446 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: but trust me, if guys can pan out four through seven, 447 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: you're building depth where you don't have to force a 448 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: pick in the following years. These guys are all looking 449 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 1: for jobs. And speaking of jobs, State Farm Stadium this 450 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: Saturday is hosting a job fair from ten am to 451 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: two pm.

But you know, 461 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people always reach out and 462 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: say do you know someone This is the perfect time 463 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: to go there, there's four different different businesses. And also, 464 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: if you want a chance to work on game day, 465 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: it's a great variance. You get to be there right 466 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: in front and center. So if you're somebody that's even 467 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: thinking about it, don't hesitate. It's gonna you're gonna spend 468 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: a couple hours out of your day, but it's going 469 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: to be well worth it. Absolutely. We continue here on 470 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday Proud partner of the 471 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Continuing on the theme of this show, as 472 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: far as the value the steal of the draft, if 473 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: you will this much, we do know, MJ. The Cardinals 474 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: certainly drafted elite athletes. The athleticism of all of these 475 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: draft picks, from the first one to the last one, 476 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: that is what really stood out about a lot of 477 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: these players. And there's a gan I'm going to reference 478 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: our colleague, Kylo de guard. He is kind of the 479 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: analytic guy of our group. But he has an article 480 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: up on easy cardinals dot com titled Cardinals target elite 481 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: athletes in draft. Next Gen Stats another website, another tool, 482 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: if you will, According to Next Gen Stats, MJ, Cardinals 483 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: drafted a league high. Four players with an athleticism score 484 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: higher than ninety Marco Wilson ninety nine, James Wiggins ninety six, 485 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: Zaven Collins ninety four, Rondel Moore ninety two. So the 486 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: athleticism is there. Does athleticism equal to success? No, but 487 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: it's a damn good start. I'll say that you can't 488 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: teach speed and there and there were the Steelers and Browns. 489 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: They had two. So the Cardinals had the most. And 490 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: the one difference between Next Gen Stats in Pro Football Focus. 491 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: Next Gen Stats affiliate with the NFL. The players have 492 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: a chip in their jersey and it tells you how 493 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: much everything is almost every play they have when they 494 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: when they're running their calculate. That's why they have these numbers. 495 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 1: So this isn't Pro Football Focus and Next Gen Stat 496 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: is a stat with the NFL, and they track every 497 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: single thing to the last play, every inch of the field. 498 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: And that's where the athleticism came up. And I mean 499 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: you gotta you know, they would have drafted a tight end, 500 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have made the list, but the fact that 501 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: they got these some of these corners that just maybe 502 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: had an ACL or opted out. They feel like the 503 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: athleticism there. Now, you probably don't want these guys to 504 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: play right away, but at least the NFL and next 505 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: Gen stats are together and teams get these reports. So 506 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: clearly the Cardinals felt like they were the better options. 507 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: But again, a lot of it has to do with positions. 508 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: You look at Wilson specifically, because everyone points to his 509 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: pro day, and that pro day, people were focused on 510 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, Kyle Trask, looking at the tight end, looking 511 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: at the quarterback, and here comes Wilson, who, as we've 512 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: mentioned before, and it's worth repeating because I think it's 513 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: phenomenal that picture that win viral. He out jumped the 514 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: VerTech for four inches. The Vertec goes forty three and 515 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: a half inches and then runs a four three forty 516 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: bench pressed. I think it was in the upper twenties. 517 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: So again, the measurables, the athleticism is there. Now we 518 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: wonder about all of these as far as a little 519 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: bit of the skill set, and then, of course, when 520 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: we talk about smarts, not book smarts, football smarts, as 521 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: far as how quickly are these players able to learn, 522 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: and not only just learn, but adapt the playbook from 523 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: the classroom to the field. And that might be the 524 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: biggest test of all to figure out what the coaches 525 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: want you to do, hopefully maximizing your athleticism and skill 526 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: sets and put in a new position to succeed. That's 527 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: why I think Marco Wilson has the upper hand on Gowin, 528 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: just based on the conference and there were some highlights 529 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: when he was drafted. He did, you know, face Jale 530 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: and Waddle. Obviously competition, We're playing at Florida in that conference, 531 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: so I do think he'll have the upper hand. Nothing 532 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: against Gowen. He's gonna to make the roster. You know. 533 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: One of the things I learned from Urban Meyer when 534 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: they announced he was going to be the head coach, 535 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, I think fans when we 536 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: mentioned a name or something, they're like, oh, he's just 537 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: a guy, or he's just there for depth. Irban Meyer 538 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: was clear, anybody on an NFL roster has talent. You 539 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: don't get this far. You can't. You can't fake it 540 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: throughout this Now. You may not have what's between the years. 541 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: You may not have him the chest. Maybe there's a 542 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: little character flaws and that's why guy he's dropped. But 543 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: he said any player that's in the NFL, they have talent, 544 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: and he said it's on us, the coaching staff, to 545 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: get that talent out of them. Teaching. That's what coaching 546 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: is all about. So, yeah, we look at guys and 547 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: you know the back of the roster, the Zeke Turners 548 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: and Tanner Vallehill, they work just as hard as everyone else. Yes, 549 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: if you are on an NFL roster, if you are drafted, undrafted, 550 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: invited to a rookie tryout, get to train in camp, 551 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: everyone has the talent. You're there for a reason. There 552 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: are hundreds, if not thousands, that would love to be 553 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: in your position, but they're not. So you already have 554 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: a distinct advantage over someone else. And I always look 555 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: at it. You know, the twelfth man on an NBA bench. Oh, 556 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: you know, you're a bench warmer. You're a fan favored, 557 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: a crowd favored. You don't deserve it. You know what, 558 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: There are so few positions in professional sports, regardless of 559 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: what the sport is, Only a small percentage can even 560 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: make a roster, let alone be successful. So as we 561 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,719 Speaker 1: go back to what Minette says, doesn't matter how I 562 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: got here, what do I do now that I'm here? 563 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: Because I've all already shown that I have the ability, 564 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: whether that's physically or mentally, that this team likes what 565 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: I bring to the table. Now it's on me to 566 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: get that coaching and then prove them correct, Craig, Only 567 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred players in the NFL every year, and last 568 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: I checked, a lot of guys are veterans. Right, It's 569 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: not like we're getting eighteen hundred new players every single year. 570 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: You may get two to three hundred and then you 571 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: put three hundred on the practice squad. We had two 572 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,239 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five draft picks. They're not all going 573 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: to make the team because and I looked at it yesterday, 574 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: the Cardinals haven't announced their new jerseys or jersey numbers. 575 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: They've got thirty two new players. That's a turnover, but 576 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: not on these guys are going to make the team. 577 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: But eighteen hundred players and a lot of guys return 578 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: every year. So it's and there's millions of what is 579 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: there over one hundred and fifteen Division one programs in 580 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: football and there's like three hundred basketball correct, you talk 581 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: about ninety to one hundred guys. So it's again, and 582 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: I've been guilty. He's a camp body and next thing 583 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: we know, you know, he's thrown on the depth chart. 584 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: So it's all you can ask for an opportunity. But 585 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: once they get to this though, now it's on them 586 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: and it's on the coaches to teach these guys. That's 587 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: what teaching is. Coaching is teaching. And when urban Meyer 588 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: said that, it it rang home to me that you 589 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: just can't look at a guy and assume you know him, 590 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: because now you got to get into his head. Sometimes 591 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,719 Speaker 1: you got to break them down to build him up. 592 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: Funny you mentioned camp body. I got I wouldn't say 593 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: yelled at, but I got a stern looking and a 594 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: little bit of a raised voice. Back in my previous 595 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: life working at ninety eight seven FM aras on a 596 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: sports station, asking then Son's head coach Alvin Gentry about 597 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: three or four players that they had signed ahead a 598 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: training camp, as far as you know what they brought 599 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: to the table, who they were, And I mentioned camp bodies. 600 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: Wrong term to mention to a head coach, because, as 601 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: I said, there's a reason why players are selected picked. However, 602 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: they got inside the building and that is not a 603 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: term that well, at least Alvin didn't like. He smiled 604 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: after the fact, and I understood what he completely meant, 605 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: because you do not want to discount these players because 606 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: you never know who's going to come out and all 607 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: of a sudden find success. Dennis Gardeck, Trent Sherfield, Ezekiel Turner. 608 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: We know about these guys in the Cardinals who have 609 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: done wonderful and now with Sherfield going onto the San 610 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers, you know their careers are still 611 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: going on. There are some first round draft picks MJ 612 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 1: that their careers fizzled out and are done. So yes, 613 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,959 Speaker 1: once you're in the building, it's on you, doesn't matter 614 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: how you got there. Yeah, And I look a guy 615 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: like Zada and Collins, he's very appreciated where he's at. 616 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Ronald the more ron del Moore. I 617 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: looked at Dan Brugler. He had him going fifty overall, 618 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: he went forty nine. So I think the three, the 619 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: first three picks, I mean, there's a little bit more pressure, 620 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: but I think when you get to four to seven 621 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: and undrafted free agents, there's a little bit more of 622 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: I got a chip on my shoulder. They all do 623 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: because they all thought, you know, I think Collins he 624 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: said he wanted to go top twenty. He goes at sixteen, 625 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: so he checked that box. But you know more probably 626 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: thought he you know, after Waddle and Smith and Chase Tomorrow, Chase, 627 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: he probably thought he was next. So I want these 628 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: guys are coming here, but the guys from four to seven, 629 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: they're going to really appreciate just being here and hopefully 630 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: looking for that opportunity. But again it's on them, and 631 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: it's on the coaching to get these guys coach up 632 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: before we get into MJ's big board and reviewing how 633 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: Mike dreck he did in the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. 634 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: This updates Bird Gang and this is big because I 635 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: don't know everyone is a fan of Flight Plan, but 636 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: we can tell you that the next episode will drop 637 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: May twentieth on the Arizona Cardinals official YouTube channel YouTube 638 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: dot com slash Azy Cardinals.

Episode two 640 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: will get more into what we've been discussing here on 641 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two over the last couple of days and 642 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: will for the next couple of days, and that is 643 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: the draft, the pre draft process, the draft itself, and 644 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: then how these guys will fit in with the Arizona Cardinals, 645 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: or at least how we all hope they fit in 646 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: with the Arizona Cardinals. So again, the next episode of 647 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: Flight Plan May twentieth.

And maybe we'll get some guys working 653 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: out again. I don't know what the restrictions are in protocols. 654 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: I know that you can't have a big group out there, 655 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: but they're going to show us the stuff that we 656 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: didn't know what was happening at the facility. So it's 657 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: always fascinating and riting show. And it's kind of like 658 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 1: reality TV because we worked there and we don't see 659 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: half of that stuff exactly. We're supposedly in the loop, 660 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: but not quite all the way in the loop on 661 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff. And I like what you 662 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: said about hope that these things, you know there's a 663 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: teas at the end or you're like, wait, I want 664 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: to hear more. I want to see more, and that 665 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: is the goal of every show to leave you hanging 666 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: and wanting you to come back. And the Cardinals again 667 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,919 Speaker 1: the next flight Plan episode May twentieth. All right, so 668 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: we are a few days past the twenty twenty one 669 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: NFL Draft and a week away we are, that's right here, 670 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: last week Thursday, May six. Good catch there, MJ. I 671 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: don't think excuse me, it was one week away. I 672 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: don't think we had the Adam Schefter tweet about Aaron 673 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,399 Speaker 1: Rodgers yet. No, not quite yet. That would that would 674 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: come a little bit later, but yeah, came out. We're 675 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: still feeling the effects of that Schefter bomb, if you will, 676 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: and that's not going anywhere anytime soon. But hey, it's 677 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: good news. We don't have to worry about here with 678 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. But we spent weeks leading up to 679 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: the draft looking at your big board, the top fifty prospects, 680 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: as far as how you saw them, ranking them, not 681 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: how they would fit with a one team or another, 682 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: but just looking at players you were ranking of players 683 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: and all. There's a couple of different ways we want 684 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: to go. Because I did say we would review this 685 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,399 Speaker 1: and kind of grade Mike Direcky as far as how 686 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 1: he did. But in the top fifty, the Cardinals landed 687 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: two players, Zaven Collins, MJ. You had ranked number twenty 688 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: eight and Rondel Moore number forty three. So I think 689 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,399 Speaker 1: you know all things considered and how the draft fell 690 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals. Job well done. I must applaud you there, MJ. 691 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: Very good job. Well. Last year we went a little 692 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: bit different. Cardinals had the eighth pick in the draft 693 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 1: and we had Isaiah Simmons third, and then Josh Jones 694 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: was ranked on our board at thirty and the Cardinals 695 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: had a high grade on him. So now Xavi and 696 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: Collins when we did it, that's where kind of he 697 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: was projected. He came on late lease from you know, 698 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: a media standpoint. And then you look at Rondo Moore. 699 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 1: I had him ranked forty thirty win forty nine, so 700 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,360 Speaker 1: two in the top fifty. When you look at the 701 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,919 Speaker 1: first round, I think I had twenty six Craig out 702 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: of thirty two. That's correct, twenty six of the thirty 703 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: two first round picks were on your big board, and 704 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: that I think deserves another applause here. MJ's that's a 705 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: good percentage. Yeah, it's and it's not a mock draft. 706 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: Now when you look at the total fifty. I had 707 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: one guy and we talked about him early on in 708 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: the process, Melvin Wilson, the defensive tackle from Florida Stay. 709 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: He went undrafted. He went undrafted, And then we had 710 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: number fifty, Elijah Molden. He actually went in the third round. 711 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: Everyone else went in the first two rounds. Now there's 712 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: sixty four picks. You know, maybe next year I'll go 713 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: to sixty four, But I just wanted to go a 714 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,760 Speaker 1: little bit deeper this year because the Cardinals weren't picking 715 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: eighth overall, They're picking sixteen, so the next pick was 716 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 1: forty nine, so I wanted to obviously get a couple 717 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: of guys in there. So, yeah, it's a fun thing 718 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: to do. And I you know, I learned about players 719 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: from fifty to thirty that you know, I know about 720 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 1: Travis Aten and some of these other wide receivers we studied, 721 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: like Cardarius Tony and Dwayne s Ridge, Terrence Marshall, Sante, 722 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,959 Speaker 1: Samuel Nick Bolton, Javonte Williams, Rondel Moore. But I didn't 723 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: know who those guys were. Probably in January or February, 724 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: And it was a good exercise for me as well 725 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 1: to get to know these players because, as we talked 726 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: throughout this process, what do people focus on? Ninety nine 727 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: percent of the time, it's the first round? Where does 728 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: my team select who might be in that area in 729 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: that availability window? Cardinals picking number sixteen. Yes, you had 730 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: Collins at twenty eight, but don't forget bird gang. How 731 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: that board fell. The top two wide receivers shooting me, 732 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: the top three wide receivers off the board, the top 733 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: two corners off the board, to top three offensive lineman 734 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 1: off the board. So then at that point you're left with, Okay, well, 735 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 1: how do they feel about Caleb Farley, how do they 736 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: feel about the next wide receiver, the next offensive lineman, 737 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: or at that point is it's some other player best 738 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: player available. And that's why Collins was the selection at 739 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: number sixteen. I've heard some people say post draft that 740 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: a little bit higher than they might have selected him. 741 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 1: Maybe you could have traded down. We've discussed this bird gang. 742 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: Everyone wants to trade down or trade up. You need 743 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 1: another team to help you with that. And if there 744 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: was no one willing to trade down or trade up, 745 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: then you're left with where you're at on the clock. 746 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,240 Speaker 1: Cardinals obviously, yeah, maybe had some discussions, but it certainly 747 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: in sounding from general manager Steve Kime, they really liked 748 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: Zaven Collins and if there wasn't a corner or wide 749 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: receiver or an offensive lineman, then Collins was going to 750 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: be that player. He was going to be the first 751 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,439 Speaker 1: defensive player off the board, at least for them. Of course, 752 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: we all know the top two corners off the board, 753 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 1: so Collins wasn't. He was the second linebacker off the board, 754 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, because Michael Parsons went number twelve 755 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys. So you take away the cornerbacks 756 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,359 Speaker 1: and you take away Michael Parsons. Zaven Collins was right 757 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: up there as far as when you looked at defensive 758 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: players in this draft, and there was some concern because 759 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, you look at Jamie Collins and that's one 760 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: of the guys that XAVI and Collins mentioned that he 761 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 1: kind of tailored his game around, you know. But quarterback 762 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: Trump said, and Belichick and the Patriots couldn't be more 763 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: thrilled at Mac Jones. Now I had Niger harrisk twenty four. 764 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: He went twenty three. I had Cale Ferry Harley go 765 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: twenty five because of the red flag and he goes 766 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,440 Speaker 1: to the Titans and wanted to say at twenty seven. 767 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: You know, so some of those guys. I had Travis 768 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,240 Speaker 1: Etn going to thirty one. He went late first round 769 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: back to Jacksonville. So again Bob Ferguson taught me, just 770 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: ranked the player's mink, don't worry about the teams, and 771 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 1: that's what I did. I had Mac Jones going twelve. 772 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,760 Speaker 1: I didn't. I wasn't a big Zach Wilson fan. Elijah 773 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: Vera Tucker. I had him fourteenth. J C. Horne sixteenth, 774 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,360 Speaker 1: he went a little bit earlier. So again that's what 775 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: I learned from Bob Ferguson, former general manager. Ranked the players, 776 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: don't worry about the teams because they have a tendency 777 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: to match up well. And when we know in the draft, 778 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: and we've seen this over the last handful of years, 779 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are always going to be rated higher just because 780 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 1: of their position on the field and their value on 781 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 1: the field. Is a Mac Jones is a Zach Wilson 782 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:54,439 Speaker 1: better than you know? Well, let's look at where Zach 783 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 1: Wilson was drafted number two overall. Is he better than 784 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, who went fourth overall. Absolutely not. But as 785 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: far as where you think you hope to be as 786 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: a franchise, you need that quarterback more than you need 787 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,839 Speaker 1: that tied end. So quarterbacks always get elevated more than 788 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: they deserve. But that's just where we are, that's where 789 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: we're at in this day and age in the National 790 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 1: Football League. Yeah, I had justin fields four he ended 791 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 1: up getting obviously, the Broncos passed on him. A couple 792 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: of teams passed on him. You need a quarterbacks, Carolina, 793 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: and they made the trade with the Bears. I had 794 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: Penny Sewell going number six. Trey Lance I had going 795 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: number five, and he went three. So again, just ranked 796 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: the players. Don't worry about the teams. They'll find a 797 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,280 Speaker 1: way to match it. Now, another thing the JJ Watt 798 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,280 Speaker 1: signing with the Cardinals. There there was an after effect 799 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 1: with two teams. The Buffalo Bills used their true first 800 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,720 Speaker 1: round picks well excuse me duds, their first and second 801 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: round pick on pass rushers. The Colts are another team 802 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 1: in the JJ Watt sweepstakes. They use their first two 803 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: picks on pass rushers. When they were getting criticized because 804 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: Anthony Costans are retired and he thought they would take 805 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: a tackle. All right, listen to Chris Ballard. You never 806 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: mentioned JJ Watt. But that's two teams that went heavy 807 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 1: with their first two picks and rounds one and two 808 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,360 Speaker 1: at pass rusher because they lost out on JJ Watt. 809 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: So sometimes there is need involved in this draft, especially 810 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,560 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the first round, because you anticipate 811 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 1: that those are players that not only play out their 812 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: first contract, but you signed them to a second contract. 813 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: So yes, you don't want to pass on talent. But 814 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 1: if you've got two players that you think are somewhat similar, 815 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: then okay, who might fit us better? Or where do 816 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: we have a need? If this position group is already filled, 817 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: but we need that position group, so we're going to 818 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: draft that position group to fill that quote unquote need. 819 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,839 Speaker 1: It's it's something that I've learned to accept because I've 820 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: always been you know, you just take the best player, well, 821 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: as you keep pointing out to me that yes you do. 822 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: But if you need a running back because you don't 823 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: have any, well, then you drop the running back. Certain 824 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: positions though you want to make sure that you're getting 825 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: value for those picks as well. And if the Cardinals 826 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: win six or seven games, maybe they take a tackle 827 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 1: they take where our Tucker maybe a linebacker. Now, you know, 828 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: again to me, when you're in the twenties, it's harder 829 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: to trade into the top ten. When you're in the 830 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: teams like Dallas they traded with the team inside that 831 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,280 Speaker 1: the visioned, the Philadelphia Eagles, it's a little bit easier. 832 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: And Mickey Loomis said that, you know, they obviously had 833 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: their eyes they're rolling to move up for one of 834 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: those corners or wide receivers. But he said, we're picking 835 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 1: in the twenties, and you know, they were a team 836 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: that went deep into the postseason, won a playoff game, 837 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 1: and obviously lost to the page the Buccaneers. But he 838 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 1: said it's hard. So but if the Cardinals had a 839 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: higher pick, it could have been a different player, because 840 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: you know, you started seeing Collins on mocks fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, 841 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: and eighteen, and we didn't really see that until like 842 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,760 Speaker 1: the final way, maybe two weeks before the draft actually happened. 843 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: So if the Cardinals had a higher pick, maybe they 844 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: would have had if they had more picks, I could 845 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 1: say they probably would have tried to move up for 846 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 1: you know, if Jamar Chase was number one and Navante 847 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 1: Smith went to they could have moved up for a waddle. 848 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 1: So they didn't have the capitol to do that, nor 849 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 1: did As you mentioned, five quarterbacks go off three tackles, 850 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: two guards or two tackles and one guard, a couple 851 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 1: of corners, and then three wide receivers. So if they 852 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: had a higher pick, maybe we're having a different conversation. 853 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 1: But again, you ranked the players, so they could have 854 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 1: got Rashawn Slater, they could have got a Lajah Vertecher 855 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 1: somewhere between ten and fourteen. And I like ranking the 856 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: players because, let's hope next season, when we do this exercise, 857 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 1: it's a pick in the twenties and hopefully the late twenties, 858 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: maybe even number thirty two, it's going to be even 859 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: more difficult at that position to figure out who might 860 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 1: still be on the board when the Cardinals select. That 861 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: is the problem that successful teams have. Let's hope that 862 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: that is a problem the Cardinals have in twenty twenty two. Well, 863 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 1: I can just tell you right now they're going to 864 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: take a corner in the first round regardless of who's 865 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: on the board. Yes, that's well, it's just because Butler's 866 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: on a one year deal. Alfred, you know, he's got 867 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 1: to stay healthy. You drafted two young guys, but I 868 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 1: don't know, we consider those guys top two corners. It's 869 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: always it's off the offensive line, cornerback or pass rusher. 870 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: So I mean, we can just project right now right 871 00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 1: breaking news here on Cardinals cover two presented by Hyunday, 872 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,360 Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. On May six, twenty 873 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: twenty one. Mike Jarecki on the record, the Cardinals in 874 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 1: one year's time will select a cornerback with their first 875 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: round and pick wherever they pick in the first round. 876 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: Being a little facetious there, but yeah, that's what Well, 877 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: let's either pass rusher, offensive tack, offensive linement, or corner. 878 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 1: That's that's what it's going to be. Because we know 879 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: now they could draft a receiver, but they're hoping that 880 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,239 Speaker 1: Roundell Moore pans out. We'll see about you know, aj 881 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 1: Green on a one year deal. We'll find out more 882 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: with the Indy Isabelle and King East, John Johnson and 883 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,440 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. So again, I just think based on the 884 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,880 Speaker 1: numbers at the corner position. That would be a need. 885 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: You don't want to go out and spend big money 886 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 1: in free agency to pay a corner. You want to 887 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: draft those guys and develop them. Well said MG, and again, 888 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:46,000 Speaker 1: congratulations on your top fifty Cardinals with two selections Daven Collins, 889 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: who you ranked twenty eighth, and Rondell Moore, who you 890 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 1: had at number forty three.
