1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the drive. I'm Dale Lolli. He is the

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and it is a Friday here. This is

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: the we have a little lull here.

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, between the end of the Super Bowl and the

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: NFL Scouting Combine in two weeks, yep. And then things

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: after the scouting combine, things start to roll downhill. Free

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: agencies a couple of weeks after that. Then you know,

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: once free agency starts to calm down a little bit,

10
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: then you have the Draft.

11
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, fow days mixed in and there's always news. Yeah,

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: but there are a couple calms before the storm in

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 3: the NFL season, and this is one of them. Because

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 3: what's happening right now.

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: It's silly season.

16
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 3: Right now, there is a silly season, and there's rumors

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: galore and all this. But it's one of the only

18
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: times if you're the Northwest area scout for the Chicago Bears,

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 3: that you're in Chicago, you know, like you live in

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: your hometown and your area of the country. But this

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: is one of the times where all the scouts come in. Also,

22
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: the Draft.

23
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't even do that as much now though, because

24
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: they do pieces.

25
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess that's a good point. Not

26
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: even physically in the building, but they're having their meeting

27
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 3: meetings here, and they're prepping for the combine and prepping

28
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: for free agency and basically scripting their first ten plays

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: of the off season in a way stacking board.

30
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: You're stacking your boards. Then you'll restack your your draft boards. Yeah,

31
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: a little bit, not majorly.

32
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: You're not fighting in the war room right now. Right

33
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: for is this safety two or three? It's more like

34
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: it's a really good safety class, or the safety class stinks,

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: let's go, but it's good in free agency, you know,

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: let's all agree on.

37
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: Where you balance those out. Yeah, you know, let's say

38
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: we leave this, Yeah, do we go to the free

39
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: agent rout or do we go to the draft route? Well,

40
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: the draft isn't very strong in it this year, so

41
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: we better look at free agency exactly or vice versa.

42
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you better be able to pivot because

43
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: those plans can you know, you can take a holding

44
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: call on third and eight and then throw your script out,

45
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like things don't always go

46
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: that way, But I think right now they're all in

47
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: the buildings quietly, not making stuff out, making their plans,

48
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: having conversations should we pursue justin fields. You know, we

49
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: want to upgrade a center. But there's free agents, and

50
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: there's draft, which is the best approach, you know what? Whatever?

51
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: You know.

52
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it's every team's having these conversations, and you know,

53
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: Steelers are no exception. There's news coaches getting acclimated to

54
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: a new environment too. I mean they're in the office

55
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 3: and they're meeting each other and they're starting to talk

56
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: scheme and things like that too, you know, the whole

57
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 3: offensive staff of the Steelers. Yeah, so you get a

58
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 3: lot of news. You don't get a lot of transactions

59
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 3: right now.

60
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. We The quarterback stuff is driving me crazy. I bet,

61
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: I bet crazy. Every time I turn on any kind

62
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: of social media. Steelers interested in this quarterback, Steelers interested

63
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: in that quarterback. Steelers favorite landing spot for this quarterback.

64
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: Steelers desperate for a quarterback. Desperate, desperate, it's a big word.

65
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: There are some other teams out there that I could

66
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: look at and say that team is desperate for a quarterback.

67
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: And England Patriots are desperate for a quarterback. Atlanta, Atlanta

68
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: is desperate for a courator.

69
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: You know, and they're gonna cut g and I mean, yeah,

70
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: it's desper Yeah I did, Okay, Yeah, And I hope

71
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: the national media or even our listeners are saying Anala,

72
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: Trubisky's gone, the need's gone up. Lidos is common, you

73
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like Rudolph hasn't signed anywhere else,

74
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: you know, Fields hasn't been traded anywhere.

75
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: And off is still under contract until March thirteenth.

76
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that's one of the differences

77
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: of Chukes and Trubisky and Harvin. They aren't they can

78
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: go sign with anyone. Steelers kind of did them a favor. Yeah,

79
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: good on the market.

80
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: So I wrote a piece. I do a five for

81
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Friday every week. Yeah. I wrote a piece saying, hey,

82
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: the nothing has changed with the Steelers every turn this offseason.

83
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin was asked to season ending press conference, as

84
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: you're starting quarterback on your roster. He said yes. When

85
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: when Art Rooney the Second spoke to the media, he said,

86
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: we still believe in Kenny Pickett. We like what Mason

87
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Rudolph did last year. We'd like to have him back.

88
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: Tomlin says, we'd like to have Mason back, but we

89
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: understand that free You know, he's a free agent and

90
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: therefore can go somewhere else. So I write a piece

91
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: today like all this other stuff is is conjecture. Conjecture,

92
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: that's all it is. People are guessing, here's what the

93
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: Steelers actually said.

94
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: And nothing's changed at all with it, And.

95
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: Nothing has changed other than the Mitch Trubisky is no

96
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: longer in the equation.

97
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: Which everyone. Yeah, yeah, that's not a shocker at all.

98
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: They just did it earlier than most teams do. With

99
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: that one.

100
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Immediately I get a response, Well, so and so said

101
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: that Mason Rudolph has decided that he's gonna he's gonna

102
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: look elsewhere, he would be a fool. Yeah if he

103
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: did at least explore absolutely what else is out there.

104
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, look elsewhere doesn't mean he's never coming back.

105
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna take

106
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: this the first couple of days of free agency. See

107
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: if I get any offers, and if I don't, or

108
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: you give me a better offer, I'm coming back. You know,

109
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the where the best situation is, whether

110
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: that being Pittsburgh or somewhere else. That doesn't mean he's

111
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: autumn he's crossed the Steelers off of his list.

112
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: No, And I'm sure he has some idea where the

113
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: Steelers at Ballpark wise contract, you know, Like I'm sure

114
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: there's been discussions with that. You know that they're in

115
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: this neighborhood and maybe I could get another million out

116
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: of them or whatever, right depending what's out.

117
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure that his agents spoke and say, look, here's

118
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: what we're willing they here's what we're willing to do.

119
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: If somebody goes higher than that, give.

120
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: Us a call, yeah, and we'll talk and we'll go

121
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: from there.

122
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know how many different ways that they

123
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: can say they would like to have Mason Rudolph back.

124
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how many different ways I could say it. Yeah,

125
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: and who could say it.

126
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: No, one more important than the organization could say it

127
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: right now. So I don't know this for a fact,

128
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: but around this time last year, after free agency'd open,

129
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: Mason was out there for a while. Now, I think

130
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: his stock has gone up dramatically from now since then.

131
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: Obviously there's a lot less you know, there's actually tap

132
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 3: being a start and all those things. But I also think,

133
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: and we talked about this a little bit with labs

134
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: too earlier in the season. I'm sure he could have

135
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: got a job before, but he was kind of holding

136
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: out for the right one, you know. And I think

137
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: not all free agencies, free agents fit this bill. Some

138
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 3: of them just want the biggest buck, you know, whatever

139
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 3: is most important. He was most important. Yet I think

140
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: him more than others, and quarterbacks more than other positions,

141
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: are looking for situations.

142
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: There's thirty two starting jobs. Thirty two.

143
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: Who can I compete with. No one's gonna hand him one. No,

144
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: no one's going to hand them one.

145
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: So I'm looking here at Mike Clay's chart.

146
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

147
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a really good chart. By the way. He

148
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: goes pending free agents and he has his quarterbacks and

149
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: he ranks him, but he doesn't break it down like they're.

150
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 3: Not the rankings like Matta Bouquet was like his seventh

151
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: defensive tackle. Ye, I mean, he really should be two

152
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: or three. But they're in the ballpark ballpark stuff.

153
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: And as we now know, Mitch Trubisky now added to this.

154
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be added to this.

155
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson's last specials, but that's probably others.

156
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's Kirk Cousins, Baker Mayfield, those two guys

157
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: probably get starting jobs.

158
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: I think they'll be one of the three starters. Yeah, yeah,

159
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 3: they'll be probably in their same.

160
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Place when it's all said and done.

161
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: Like I don't look too much into again, it's not

162
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: really conjecture, but I know Cousins said something recently, I

163
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: have all the money i'll ever need. I'm very happy

164
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: in Minnesota. That doesn't mean he's gonna be back, but

165
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: I don't know that he'll be like, give me the

166
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: most money no matter what we've.

167
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: Talked about that. Yeah, I mean injury. Yeah, he may

168
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: not throw a pass. You know killes. Injuries are serious. Yeah,

169
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: they're worse than a CLS.

170
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: I was a Yeah. I think it's like the worst

171
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: injury that is sort of common in the NFL right now.

172
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: Uh So, I don't know if anyone else is going

173
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: to touch him at point.

174
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: Then you got Gardner, Minche and I think this next

175
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: group is all kind of they're all kind of in

176
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: the same like I think Cousins in Mayfield stands out.

177
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: They good enough years, especially Mayfield.

178
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: You might even squeeze Wilson into that group when he's

179
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: when he gets cut.

180
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: Loose I was talking about this the other day though,

181
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: that you mentioned there's only thirty two chairs that are

182
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if Wilson's gonna get one well, I mean,

183
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 3: especially if you think four or five rookies are gonna

184
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: get one by week four, you know, I mean they

185
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: might not start opening day one, but if you project who's.

186
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: Well, I think at least three rookies. I don't know

187
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: if the other the other rookies in the first round,

188
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're immediate starters.

189
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 3: I don't either, Okay, yeah, yeah, right, But all of

190
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: a sudden, Fields moves, you know, like there's not as

191
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: many chairs as you think. I'm not sure Wilson gets one.

192
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 3: I think Mayfield does. Yeah, Wilson will be in the mix.

193
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: Though, then you're looking at Minshew, Flacco, Brisett, Tanney, Hill, Winston,

194
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: and then after that, I think that's your second Those

195
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: are guys who were former starters who've.

196
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: Or kind of over aged or you know right that, Okay,

197
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: Minche's the lifetime good back up. It started a lot loud.

198
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: But he started a lot last year. And then the

199
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: next group after that, then you get the Tyrod Taylor's,

200
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: you got Josh Dobbs, you got Drew Locke, he got Mariota, Mason, Rudolph,

201
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. I think that's the next group.

202
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, not to fight you, but there's two guys

203
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: I can't quite quit. It's Jamis Winston and Donald. I

204
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: get it, like Mariota and Trubisky were also picked super high.

205
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: I'm done with those guys, you know, those two.

206
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: How many times we need to be told? Though? And

207
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: if if Jamis Winston was good, I know New Orleans

208
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: would have started him last year, like they were trying

209
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: to back up for a long time. They were trying

210
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: to win a division last year and Derek Carr was

211
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: not good. Right.

212
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: I also don't think Donald or Winston, for a lot

213
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: of the stuff we talked about with Fields is necessarily

214
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: a fit here. Like I'm not even thinking that through

215
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: a Steeler's eye because the turnovers, Yeah, you know, I mean,

216
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: I just don't think that's the style of quarterback they're

217
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: looking for. And Winston's not very mobile.

218
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: No he's not. There's yeah, that that's just the situation.

219
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: So I think Rudolph has pushed himself into that group of.

220
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: I might put him in the Minshew tier.

221
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: That's a little Rich. I look at that group again,

222
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: it's Minshew Fla, Flaco Brissette, Tanny Hill, Winston.

223
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't quite fit that tier because those guys,

224
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: those guys all have Flacco, Tannehill, et cetera. Yeah, he's

225
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: probably the top of the next tier though.

226
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, I mean then you're looking at again, You're

227
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: looking at Tyrod Taylor. You're looking at Drew Locke, Marcus Mariota,

228
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, guys who have shown some flashes. Yeah, some

229
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: more recently than others, but yeah, not quite.

230
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: He at least has momentum on his side. Nobody one

231
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: out of that group does, Like Peple might not have anything.

232
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Maybe Tyrod Taylor, you would look at the say yeah,

233
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: but I think that's what he and and those guys

234
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: are more. Hey, we're gonna bring this guy in and

235
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: let him compete.

236
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: With probably two I mean most of those guys scream backups, right,

237
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: you know, or not even short term placeholders for the rookies.

238
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Because then the group after that, you're looking at Easton Stick, Tyler, Huntley,

239
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, Trevor Simeon, Blaine, Gabbert, PJ. Walker. I mean,

240
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: these are not those are not good football players.

241
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: Those are lifetime backups that will end up rich guys

242
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: that don't play much football, and two of them might

243
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: not even be a roster on draft day, you know

244
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: or mini camp time. You know, Wentz was out there forever.

245
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, like you're definitely not fishing in that.

246
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Like, I don't this idea that somehow somebody's gonna make

247
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph some kind of crazy offer to come in

248
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: and compete for a starting job somewhere else. I mean, honestly,

249
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: how many starting jobs are going to be Okay, maybe

250
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Oakland or yeah, Vegas, I should say, yeah, Denver. This

251
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: is this is assuming they get shut out of drafting one.

252
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. But then I mean he's gonna be signed somewhere

253
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: before the draft, right, That's the thing. I mean, you

254
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: know he's gonna have a job by that, yeah, whether

255
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 3: here or there somewhere. But put it in this way,

256
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: Like I bring this up a lot on our show.

257
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: If this were Bears Nation Radio, Seahawks Nation Radio, you know,

258
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: thirty one names, Nation Radio insert here, would we be

259
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: talking about Mason Rudolph our team Probably not?

260
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Probably not, you know what I mean talking about Hey,

261
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: let's go get Gardner Minshew, or let's go get Jacoby Brissette.

262
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Like Rudolph would be fine, but let's he's

263
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 3: fifth on the lake exactly, He's our third consolation prize

264
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: or something like that. Boy, I kind of liked what

265
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 3: he did at the end of the stint there with

266
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: the Steelers. He'd be okay, but I'd like someone a

267
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: little more mobile, with a little more pedigree and aim

268
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: a little bigger, you know.

269
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I just remember so when the Steelers played

270
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots, Yeah, and Trubisky was bad in that game,

271
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: especially to begin the first half of that game. He

272
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: was awful, awful. And Greg Bdard, who covers the Patriots,

273
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: texted me from the other side of the press box

274
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: and he said, boy, Trubisky is really bad here. Who's

275
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: who's the backup? And I said, Mason Rudolph. He goes, oh, no,

276
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: wonder they're not going to the backup.

277
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

278
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: Like, there's just that there's a weird perception. There's a

279
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: perception out there that Mason Rudolph isn't good, has never

280
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: been good. We haven't necessarily agreed with that. I mean,

281
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: he did good things in twenty nineteen that people won't

282
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: just want to gloss over.

283
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, if he studied game by game.

284
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: And it's kind of the same way with Kenny. Kenny

285
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: Pickett has done some good things. Now it's not all

286
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: been good, nor was it all good with Mason Rudolph.

287
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: But Mason Rudolph got better. Nobody wants to Nobody wants

288
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: to come up with the come to the conclusion that

289
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: maybe Kenny Pickett could continue to get better as well.

290
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: Sure, Brufferd, he's gotten a lot better. I might someone

291
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: it's the same age, you know. It's funny like the Patriots.

292
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 3: Though maybe if I was on Patriots Nation Radio, I'd

293
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: be like, off isn't so bad, you know. I mean,

294
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want him backing up the LSU kid because

295
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: they're so different. You know. That's also one of the

296
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: things that's one against that holds against Rudolph too, is

297
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: he's a good player, but that's not the style we're

298
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: looking for, you know. So and Alf the Steelers are

299
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they like him, but I think

300
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: they would like a mobile guy too, not necessarily fields running.

301
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: To me, I think the the the key or one

302
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: of the key comments of the off season thus far

303
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: for the Steelers has been what Art the Second said

304
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: when he said, we got when Mason was in there,

305
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: we saw what our offense can look like with a

306
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: competent quarterback.

307
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, running. I think you followed up by the

308
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: quarterback play has to be better.

309
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: The quarterback play has to be better. Pick It understands

310
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: that they've talked about it. Mike Tomlins said, they talk.

311
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: About if you sit in between us right now, I'd

312
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: be like, yeah, I got to be better.

313
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: Better, right, I got better.

314
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: Our quarterback play needs to be better, especially mate. I'm

315
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: sure that's exactly how it.

316
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: But so much of that was just Mason Rudolph coming

317
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: to a point in his career where he I think

318
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: things kind of meshed with him slowed down a little bit,

319
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: and and and so you know, I don't know that

320
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Pickett can't get there before next year.

321
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: I thought Pickett was swimming more than I expected this season,

322
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of playing frenetically and dropping his

323
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: eyes and running the stuff you didn't see as much

324
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 3: early in his career. He fell into some bad habits,

325
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 3: which I don't think he was super comfortable in the

326
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: offense either. Yeah, you know, I hope there is going

327
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: to be another addition.

328
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: Is going to be an addition. It's not going to

329
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: be Kirk Cousins.

330
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: Not only so either.

331
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's not going to be Baker Mayfield.

332
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: And I'm fine with that.

333
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, maybe you trade for Justin Fields, but

334
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: only I.

335
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: Think that's the biggest move possible to.

336
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: Make it but the only way that somebody tweeted something

337
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: out today, the Steelers going to trade your first round

338
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: pick for Justin Fields. No, no, you know. To me,

339
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: I think if the price is right and by that

340
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: time you'll know whether or not you have Rudolph. I

341
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: think ideally they would like pick it in Rudolph and

342
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: then maybe drafted a.

343
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: Rookie year ish. Right, you know they're going to go

344
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: to camp with four.

345
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: It's not going to be drafting one in the first

346
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: or second round though I don't.

347
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: Think so either. Whoever the fourth guy is has no

348
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: chance this year because there's will be two new bodies

349
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: in picket, all fighting for playing time, and maybe the

350
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: third guy has no chance the way it falls out,

351
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: So there will be three new quarterbacks employed by this team,

352
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 3: but I don't know that one or two of them

353
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: have any chance, you know what I mean? But there's

354
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 3: a lot to come. I mean they say they're desperate.

355
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: I mean, this has been the plan all along.

356
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: It just does they have they have a starter on

357
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: the roster under contract, who in the previous two seasons

358
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: has gone fourteen and ten. Yeah, that is not desperation.

359
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: The New England Patriots don't have quarterback.

360
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: No, of course, they're another one Atlanta.

361
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: The Denver Broncos aren't going to have a quarterback.

362
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: No. And who was the other one? I was thinking

363
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: there was two or three bad ones are the Raiders.

364
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and those teams aren't in position necessarily to draft.

365
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: They're not going to be in they're going to make

366
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: a move to go get a guy that they can

367
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: start right away.

368
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: I think there's a better chance one of those teams

369
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 3: has a true journeyman, settles for Russell Wilson for a

370
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: year type of deal and then maybe picks the tap

371
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: of draft next year. Yeah, something like that. So we'll see.

372
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: I mean I had something to say about that, but

373
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 3: slip my mind. Yeah, let's get to a break. He

374
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: is the Matt Williamson.

375
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: I am Dale Lallie. You're listening to the drive here

376
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,880

00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: the year.

385
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 3: For lists, No, it is, without question, And.

386
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: With free agency coming up here in a few weeks,

387
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: I thought we'd take a look here at well. The

388
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: thirty third team has put out their list of the

389
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: NFL Free agency's top one hundred players available. Yeah, okay,

390
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: and you know these guys at the top are going

391
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: to be expensive.

392
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 3: Or they're going to get franchise and never hit the market.

393
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 3: You know, are never going to change teams, or you know,

394
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 3: we're going to hold out on a franchise tag like

395
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: usually the top ten on this list don't don't make

396
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: bay waves as you think.

397
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: Right, So number one on their list is Chris Jones. Okay, which,

398
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: for understandable reasons, you're twenty nine years old. He's had

399
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: double digit sacks the last two years.

400
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a superstar.

401
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: Number two is Kirk Cousins.

402
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: Position carries a lot of weight there. Yeah. I mean

403
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 3: he's gonna get a big contract somewhere.

404
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he is going to be thirty six before.

405
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: Next year, coming off a big injury.

406
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: Number three Josh Allen with the Jaguars.

407
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he'll get franchise two.

408
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Number four t Higgins.

409
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 3: I think he's leaning more and more towards staying in

410
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: Cincinnati and losing Boyd and those guys. But if he

411
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: gets you up market, he's gonna get paid heavy by

412
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: like a Panthers.

413
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: Carolina would be crazy whatever that. I mean, you know

414
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: he's a Clemson guy. You gotta you get to sell

415
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: tickets somehow. Even if they put the franchise tag on him, you.

416
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 3: Can still entertain trades. Yeah. But so no, I don't

417
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: think he's He's either gonna be super pricey somewhere or

418
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 3: he's saying in sin.

419
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: And the problem that the problem that Carolina has is

420
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: they don't have first round draft pick.

421
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: First round pick.

422
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Now they get the first pick of the second round.

423
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's valuable. They have a lot of caps, but.

424
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: That's not going to get you necessarily. I mean, they'll

425
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: have a shot at a good a good receiver.

426
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: You know, he's a good receiver.

427
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: This was a second round draft pick earlier, early second.

428
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but you'd be thrilled if you got

429
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: somebody like him in the early second round pick.

430
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're getting a more complete yes, Pat.

431
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: You're buying. He'd be a one for them immediately.

432
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: Five is Christian Wilkins. I'm a big fan. I mean,

433
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get paid expensive, especially if Jones

434
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: gets French. Well, they can't franchise Tag Jones again, No.

435
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 3: They can't. They can franchise Snead and extend Jones.

436
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh. Six is justin Mattabuquet. Yeah, the tackle defensive

437
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: tackles in the top six. Yeah, they're pricey and this

438
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: is not a good defensive tackle draft. No, I mean

439
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 1: with your needy kind of lends itself to that.

440
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 3: And they're just good young players. Yeah, are sending players.

441
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: Seven is Jalen Johnson, which is why the Steelers were interested,

442
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: or at least reported to be interested in acquiring him

443
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline last year. Like he is good.

444
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: He's had a really good season. So corner note and

445
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: this will apply to Sneid as well. I forget who

446
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: I was listening to, but they were talking about just

447
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: corner contracts. It's a volatile position. I mean, that's one

448
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: thing about Pro Football Focus is they've kind of showed

449
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: the world that it's corners aren't super consistent.

450
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy is really good this year.

451
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 3: Not so good to net Yeah, And a lot of

452
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: the biggest contracts in the corner world right now aren't

453
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: great contracts, like they looked fine when they signed them.

454
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 3: You know, Jarny Alexander is making like twenty one million dollars.

455
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 3: He's number one, you know, true, Davis White's on that list.

456
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: You know, Zavin Howard, you don't always know what you're buying,

457
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 3: is all I'm saying. And Johnson AND's need are gonna

458
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 3: be expensive.

459
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: Well, and the reason for that is the difference between

460
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: a completion and an incompletion. In the NFL. Yeah, you're

461
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: often talking about a fingernail.

462
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: Then like nothing right right, or he's on a team

463
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 3: and they change schemes on them.

464
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: You know, last year you played a bunch of garbage quarterbacks.

465
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: This year, you're playing the best.

466
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 3: Or you had a great pass rush or bad pass rusher,

467
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: right right, right, you're.

468
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: A little dependent. Yeah, but he's twenty four.

469
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: That's why he's gonna make a time. I think he

470
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: might get franchise too. They got a lot of money.

471
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: Eight is Brian Burns with the Panthers.

472
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: I wonder what they do with him, you know, like

473
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 3: they could have.

474
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: Traded himself like several times and didn't do so. If

475
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: I was them, I would at least put the franchise

476
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: tag on him and see if if somebody wants to

477
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: trade you there first for him. Yeah, all the better. Yeah,

478
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: because you're in a it's not like you're winning.

479
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's in his prime. He's one of your

480
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: only assets you could get something for, is what I'm saying,

481
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: you know, And they probably screwed up not moving him earlier.

482
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: Because he's good. He's still just twenty five and he's good.

483
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

484
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: Nine and tender would want them.

485
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

486
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: Nine is luxurious Snead.

487
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: Him and Johnson are kind of neck and neck.

488
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Ten is Antswoine Winfield Junior.

489
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: Also franchise tag candidate. Safeties aren't super expensive to franchise

490
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: and he's.

491
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: Quite good at eleven. Is Mike Evans.

492
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 3: Wonderful'll be able to keep both.

493
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: I don't think they can keep both. Yeah, and Baker

494
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: and Baker. Yeah, they've got some big ticket items that

495
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: they do pay for.

496
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just can't almost picture Evans in another uniform.

497
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 3: But man, if I'm him, he's thirty years old and

498
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: in Kansas City or something.

499
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: If I'm Tampa, I'm not interested necessarily signing him to

500
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: a long term deal.

501
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 3: If I'm the Bucks too, you got to value yourself

502
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: being like we thought, you know, we had all kinds

503
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: of dead cap space and stuff like that. This year,

504
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: you out kick your coverage by getting in the playoffs.

505
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: Don't think we signed into a two year deal. We're

506
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 3: a contender. Yeah, you know, like you might want to

507
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 3: take a step back if.

508
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, younger twelve is Michael Pittman.

509
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 3: I think he's not even either.

510
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah thirteen. They have Bryce Huff with their jets.

511
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 3: He could be on the move, but he's such a

512
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: special rich for me, for him special. He's an undersized

513
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 3: speedball edge rusher.

514
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

515
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean he even wouldn't have been an every down

516
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 3: player for Lebo's Steel.

517
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: He's essentially right now. He's nick krbrig Yeah, yeah, yeah,

518
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: he's there. That's what That's what you would hope herbig

519
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: turns into exactly.

520
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a smaller, not every down player, but he's

521
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: very productive per snap.

522
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: Fourteen is Danielle Hunter m They say his agecy twenty

523
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: eight thirty.

524
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if he'll get paid as much

525
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 3: as people think. He's still really good. Yeah, but I

526
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 3: don't think he'll be like Burns is worth more than him.

527
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. Fifteen is Tyron Smith, same thing. I don't.

528
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: I can't feel like Dallas or bust for him.

529
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like, let's just is he going to

530
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: move at this win in his career?

531
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: You're right, I mean he's a Ring of Honor guy,

532
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: maybe Hall of Fame guy. That's why I always feel

533
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: that way with Evans. But Evans financially doesn't make as

534
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 3: much sense as Smith to Dallas.

535
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: Sixteen is Kyle Duggar.

536
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 3: They were't talking franchising him. That seems a little rich

537
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 3: to me, but Safeties aren't that hard to franchise.

538
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: Their problem is is that seventeen is Michael Wing to win.

539
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 3: Who Yeah, actually both their tackles are up. Trent Brownson too, and.

540
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: They should probably if they're going to franchise anybody, it

541
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: should be on a winning I would think a young

542
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, like like.

543
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: He's the one tackle I mentioned, I would at least

544
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 3: kick the tires on if he hit the open market,

545
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 3: because they screwed with him too. They always made him

546
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: a guard and a tackle, and both tackles. Just leave

547
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: him right tackle. He's good.

548
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: Eighteen is Jonathan Greenard.

549
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 3: He made some money for himself this year.

550
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a good use.

551
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't think he'll franchise him, but they'd love

552
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: to bring him back, and they have money.

553
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: Nineteen is Kevin Dotson, and.

554
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, I wish him the best.

555
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: I do too.

556
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: That seems so pro football focused.

557
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: Generally, that seems that seems pretty rich. I mean a

558
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: for a guard, and for me to say that he's

559
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: the number one guard available, it's.

560
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: Not a good guard class, but even that, he's a

561
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 3: top twenty player period. He's had one good year. Yeah,

562
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 3: and he is young, and he had a very good year.

563
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: I didn't study every snap, but nobody in the planet

564
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: was like, I can't believe the Steelers only got a

565
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 3: six round pick for him. He's unbelievable. Yeah, they were

566
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: happy to get any for him.

567
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

568
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: Twenty Xavier McKinney.

569
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought he'd be sleeperish. You know that you

570
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: get him a little cheaper than you can.

571
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: Twenty four years old. He's you don't. That's the thing

572
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: is getting some of these guys at that.

573
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: Age, at that age, yeah, I mean then you're competing

574
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: with like the Bears that have a ton of money.

575
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 3: It's a young team and you're probably not gonna win

576
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 3: that battle.

577
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: Twenty one is Cameron curl.

578
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: He's franchised last year. People probably like who the Hex

579
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 3: camera Curle.

580
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: Which sets his market a little higher.

581
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 3: Than probably which actually probably takes a pay cut, but

582
00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 3: at least he has a two or three.

583
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

584
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Twenty two is Calvin Ridley.

585
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: What he'll make. He's a lot older than people he think.

586
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: He's been suspended, he's been injured, he had he wasn't

587
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: great here lest I mean people talked about like, well

588
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 3: Lawrence finally got his digs, like Alan got his hill,

589
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: the Tua got you know, the A J. Brown that

590
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: hurt Scott when they made that trade.

591
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: It didn't happen.

592
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: He's as good as those guys.

593
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Twenty three is Kenny Moore. That's the first guy

594
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: on the list here that if I were the Steelers,

595
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: I might be I would kick the tires on.

596
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: That personality and position would fit in tremendous.

597
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: I mean he might be. He's certainly in the top

598
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: five nickels.

599
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: And he would play outside too, in their two corner.

600
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if he would here or not. I

601
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: think ideally he wouldn't. But he's not young.

602
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and that's the thing. I mean, you might

603
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: be able to get him, not at the discounted price,

604
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: but not as expensive as what you'd think for a

605
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: cornerback who's twenty three on this list.

606
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, slot only up in age. Yeah, you know,

607
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: so that those are two big negatives just in terms

608
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: of payment.

609
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: Twenty four Marquise Brown.

610
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 3: I'm still a fan. I think he's a two. I

611
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 3: think he's a really good two.

612
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: But in the right offense. They're going to be offenses

613
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't fit at all, right, right, including this one.

614
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he fits here at all. Like

615
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: he'd be here, he'd be a three and a really

616
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: really good one.

617
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: You have that essentially, you have him in Calvin Austin. Yeah,

618
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: or a very similar style player.

619
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 3: I don't think they want little little guy rights.

620
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean they want to be You want to have

621
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: your wide receivers who can essentially block.

622
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: If I'm the Cardinals and I can get a good

623
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: deal with him and McBride and draft Harrison, we're loaded now.

624
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

625
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

626
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: Twenty five Saquon Barkley.

627
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 3: I wonder if Brown will make more than he should

628
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: in Lake Carolina.

629
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: Maybe you know. Yeah, twenty five is Barkley.

630
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: I think there's a chance he moves. Yeah, keep here

631
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: in Houston with them.

632
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Twenty six is chadobi Ouzier.

633
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 3: See, I think that's the corner market the Steelers will

634
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: have to look if they're gonna.

635
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: And he's like twenty nine. Yeah, I'd rather sign a

636
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: slot and draft that I know is good and draft

637
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: the outside.

638
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: Guy, especially if Peterson's back at maybe a discount price too,

639
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: and he can hold down the fort and mentor those

640
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 3: guys or whatever. I don't like the Awuzier neighborhood.

641
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: No, he's not good enough to be what.

642
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, those top two may never hit the market, and

643
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 3: then all the corner needy teams are gonna give him

644
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 3: more than once, and I don't want to get in

645
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 3: that bitting one.

646
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. Twenty seven is DJ Reader.

647
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: I'm a believer there.

648
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know when he plays though.

649
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the problem with a couple guys coming off injury.

650
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: Twenty eight is Kendall Fuller.

651
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: He's kind of like a wosy eight to me. He's

652
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: a little more versatile, but he's not gonna be cheap. No,

653
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: he's not gonna be Twenty nine is Yeah.

654
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: Twenty nine is Frankie Luvu.

655
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 3: If I were to spend on a backer, a true linebacker,

656
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 3: he would be the guy. I don't think he's gonna

657
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: make like Tremaine Edmunds.

658
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Money though, No, but I think he'll get decent money

659
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: in Yeah. Thirty is Kevin Zeitler. He's thirty four.

660
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like that.

661
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna whoever signs him is basically a one year deal.

662
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 3: I would think the Ravens will try to bring him back,

663
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: run it back. You know they're gonna have the money, though,

664
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: I know they got a lot of things to do.

665
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: Thirty one is Connor Williams. I'm a big fan. He

666
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: just is coming off a big injury.

667
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: Another one come off a huge injury.

668
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 3: He's a tackle of Texas guard with the Cowboys. Really

669
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: found a home at center with the Dolphins. But if

670
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: you could get him eighty cents on the dollar because

671
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 3: of the injury, maybe, I mean, the injuries are hard

672
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: to comment on, but maybe be very useful.

673
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: Thirty two, I'm surprised he's just low as Leonard Williams. Yeah,

674
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Seattle can't let him go up to

675
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: trading a second round draft pick for him and half

676
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: a season, that would be That would just be that.

677
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: I never understood the trade to begin with.

678
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: Crazy. I understand they got new people in charge out there,

679
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: but you still have to look at this. Go we

680
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: traded our second round pick this year for this guy.

681
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: We can't let him walk.

682
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: No, I hear you. I don't know what to think

683
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 3: of him. I definitely don't think he's one of the

684
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: Tier one guys. He's getting up in age quick. He

685
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 3: doesn't have a ton of sacks lately, but he's not

686
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: just a run stuff or he's kind of like eighty

687
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: percent of Cam Hayward.

688
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty three is Trent Brown.

689
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 3: If you keep them motivated and the lean his it's

690
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 3: hard to count.

691
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: He's not one of these offensive tackles that have gotten

692
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: paid a ridiculous amount of money for being average at best.

693
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what you get on the open market. I mean,

694
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 3: if you're gonna pay him as a starter, you're gonna

695
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 3: get an average left or right tackle. I think he's

696
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: more comfortable on the left. He's massive, but he's thirty

697
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: probably right.

698
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, thirty four Robert Hunt with them Dolphins. Dolphins

699
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: have some serious Dolphins offense.

700
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ann Wilkins and right, Yeah.

701
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: He's forty million dollars over the cap.

702
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Dolphins days are numbered thirty five.

703
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: Jonah Jackson with the Lions another.

704
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 3: Jonah Jackson are pure guards though.

705
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

706
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Steelers won't be in that market unless they have

707
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: this big plan to put Daniels at center or something,

708
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: which I don't know if that's true.

709
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: Thirty six is Chase Young. That's more in reputation Clowney

710
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: to me.

711
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he seems like a mercy at.

712
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: Least unlike Clowney. He's not in the top ten because.

713
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 3: Because of his name, people realize he's a little bit

714
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: damaged goods And yeah.

715
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: Thirty seven A Z's al Sheer with the Tennessee.

716
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: Ton's high for him. I'd be interested that interested in that, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

717
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: I'd be very interested. I was interested a year ago.

718
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: He would fit in well. I don't think he'd be

719
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: crazy expensive.

720
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: Thirty eight Baker Mayfield, we talked about him, yea, yeah.

721
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: Thirty nine Josh Jacobs.

722
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: I wonder what's going to happen to some of these backs.

723
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: I think signing with the Raiders maybe.

724
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 3: I mean I can't see something great happening for him

725
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: and ecamhar and some of these guys. He had a

726
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 3: bad year, right, and he's at a bad age.

727
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: Forty is Derrick Henry.

728
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 3: See, I think he's can still go. Yeah, in a contender,

729
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: maybe Dallas somebody like that says let's run it back

730
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 3: and try to win.

731
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: Forty one is Levante David.

732
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: He's like Evans. I mean, they they gonna keep bringing

733
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: back the old dudes there. They can still play.

734
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: You can't keep them all.

735
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

736
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: They've already got four of the top forty one players

737
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: out of.

738
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 3: Bucks on that list, right, and they have other needs in.

739
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: Addition to Forty two is Patrick Queen.

740
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: I think he'll get paid a lot and be a captain.

741
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, right. Forty three Stephen Nelson.

742
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: He's been around a long time, but yeah, he's coming

743
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: off a pretty good year.

744
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: But he's gonna be a little bit around a long time.

745
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, forty retires on him again. No, I mean

746
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be expensive.

747
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Forty four g Stone.

748
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 3: He'll get a bump. I mean he hasn't made anything.

749
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 3: He'll be a starter somewhere. Yeah, doesn't super excitement. I

750
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: think there's other safeties I'd rather invest in.

751
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: I think, yeah. Forty five Dalton Schultz, he'll be ten

752
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: million a year. You believe her now? Indult shot.

753
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: He's good.

754
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of things before. He never

755
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: ends up on my fantasy team, but they should probably

756
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 3: bring him back.

757
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: They probably should.

758
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got money and they're trying to win.

759
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: Forty six is Andre James.

760
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 3: Another good center. I know the centers people aren't gonna

761
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: be excited about cushion. Barry's gonna be coming up on

762
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: this list at some point. They keep getting better and

763
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: they're not brand name dudes, but they're quality centers.

764
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: Forty seven is Jada van Clowney coming on a great year.

765
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: It's so funny, he had his best year, and now

766
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: he's down in the forties. Yeah, when he was when

767
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: he was not doing anything.

768
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 3: He's up in the top ten to ten. Well for

769
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 3: the first round pick. All that looks like the predator,

770
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: you know.

771
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: Forty eight Joanah Williams. That might even be too high

772
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: for him. He stinks.

773
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: Look, I might rather play pay Chucks than Jonah Williams,

774
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 3: you know, not as much, you know.

775
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: And then forty nine is a Darius Smith.

776
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: I bet his contract goes down.

777
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: He really didn't do much last year.

778
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 3: Was fine. It was a difference maker though.

779
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: And then fifty is Andrew van Ginkel with the Dolphins.

780
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: Another Dolphins.

781
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dolphins are in trouble.

782
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: They're a bunch of holes.

783
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: They haven't signed to yet, right, Yeah, I mean they

784
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: got a lot going. They pushed all their chips in,

785
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 3: you know, Ramsey trades and some of these expensive stuff.

786
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 3: Ben Gingkle's a good player. Yeah, he'll be a starting

787
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 3: edge slash. So I'm three four outside linebacker type.

788
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get to the second half of this list

789
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: when we return. He is Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lollie.

790
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Drive Hero on Steelers Nation Radio.

791
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: We're doing the thirty third team's top one hundred free

792
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: agents for the upcoming season here, and still no Steelers. Yea,

793
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: we may not see a Steeler listed in this top

794
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: one hundred.

795
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: We may have said one it's going to be a

796
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 3: future Steeler, but we can't say anything that they're losing.

797
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, So let's get to the rest of this

798
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: list when we return right after this. Welcome back to

799
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: the Drive. I'm Dale Lolli. He is the Matt Williamson

800
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: and we're going over the thirty third teams top one

801
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 1: hundred free agents for the upcoming free agency period, which

802
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: starts March thirteenth. And we're down to the March thirteenth. Man,

803
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: that's right on the we'll be getting back from the

804
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: combine and yeah, right into a free agency here. Okay,

805
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: So at fifty one Josh Uche with the Patriots.

806
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 3: He's another specialty player. We talked about Huff with the Jets.

807
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 3: Speedball off the edge, can drop in the coverage a

808
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 3: little bit, not in every down. Player, doesn't fit the Steelers,

809
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 3: but he's I like what he does.

810
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: I think he could be an inside linebacker.

811
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go there a lot with him and I'm

812
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: open to the idea, you know, and it's kind of

813
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 3: a Timmins I'm thinking, Yeah, you're mentioning, go get the football.

814
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 3: He plays in space. Well, he's not just the rusher.

815
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 3: I like the guy on the player a lot.

816
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

817
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: I mean he's fast, he's got the speed, the trigger's there.

818
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, just add that to the equation.

819
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: At fifty two no offense.

820
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: I'm not quite done with him, Seattle.

821
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: Little talent. There're talent there.

822
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 3: I mean, if I wonder if he goes to the

823
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: right system, maybe he's on a fantasy squad again.

824
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: You know, in his career fifty three, Tony Pollard all

825
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: the way down to fifty three, I think he proved.

826
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 3: That he's not in every Yeah.

827
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: He's he's a third down type yeah, second back yeah,

828
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: change of pace.

829
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he could be better at that. I mean

830
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 3: he finished the season pretty strong.

831
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: I mean, let's put it this way. Would you rather

832
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: have Jaylen Warren or Tony Pollard.

833
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,959
Speaker 3: All things considered wear and tear age expense? Definitely Warren.

834
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, But I think their skill set.

835
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: I think what you want, what you need them to do,

836
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: is similar.

837
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think he's a fifty carries guy. Yeah,

838
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 3: you know touches.

839
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

840
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: Tyler biadis quality Center. Yeah, I mean he's another cowboy.

841
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 3: Cowboys have some guys on this list on all they do. Yeah,

842
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: I mean the quality Center. He'll be one of the top.

843
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 3: There'll be one of the thirty two. It'd be an upgrade here.

844
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: But he's not Mike Webster.

845
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: No. Fifty five is Austin Ekeler.

846
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what his career. He might be shot

847
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 3: and maybe maybe fifty Put it this.

848
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: Way, the Cowboys aren't re signing Tony Pollard and bringing

849
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: in Austin Ekeler and saying, hey, we solved our running

850
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: back issue.

851
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 3: No, no, And I don't think he's what Harball wants

852
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 3: anymore either. He wants Derreck Henry.

853
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

854
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: Fifty six Dalton Reisner with the Vikings. Another interior.

855
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, pure guard basically, but a good one. There's a

856
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 3: handful of decent guards out there.

857
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: The interiors not bad, not bad.

858
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

859
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: Fifty seven Gabe Davis.

860
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 3: He's not for me. Yeah, he's all flash and not consistent.

861
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: Fifty eight Lloyd Cushionberry with the Broncos.

862
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 3: I think he might be the best center on the

863
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 3: market him and what's his face from Williams from Miami

864
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 3: except he's healthy. He's healthy. Yeah. I think he's going

865
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 3: to be expensive. I mean I think he's twelve million

866
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 3: a year or something like that. Yeah, but I think

867
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 3: he'd be solved. I mean it would be kind of

868
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 3: like the Harding signing, you know, fifty nine Kalais Campbell,

869
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: who knows. I mean that's got to be wherever he

870
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: goes a one year deal. He's thirty nine years old.

871
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: I assume he still wants to play, but he was

872
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 3: still effective.

873
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: Ye yeah, sixty Deniko Autry.

874
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 3: He's good player. He's under the radar more run stuffer.

875
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: I bet he gets paid pretty decently. How old is he?

876
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: Thirty three?

877
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 3: I was thinking he's like thirty one. Maybe that's a.

878
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: One year deal too, Yeah, sixty one. Jordan Fuller.

879
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 3: I get the Fullers mixed up. There's two Fuller cons

880
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 3: safety's safe. I think he's also can play the slot

881
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 3: just like the other Fuller. I don't know what had cost.

882
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 3: What's he How old is he?

883
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: Uh? He is twenty six.

884
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 3: I thought he might be a little older. Yeah, it's

885
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 3: not terrible, No, I mean that's that's a consideration.

886
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sixty two Stefan Gilmour.

887
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: I think that not that he's done. It's just he's

888
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 3: now at contender or bust level one year deal. He's

889
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 3: thirty three, Yeah, and he can still play, but I

890
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 3: don't think you go that route.

891
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: Sixty three is C. J. Gardner Johnson.

892
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: Maybe, I mean he's kind of a lunatic. By all account,

893
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 3: he's more than kind of a lunatic, right, I mean

894
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 3: he fights with teammates, he fights with opponents, but he

895
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: sets the tone and he's physical, and you can play

896
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 3: the slot if you can manage him or you know

897
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: what makes him tick. Maybe you might be wrong.

898
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might have an idea about that stuff.

899
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: You guys putting microphones in his fight face might be

900
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 3: happy he's here.

901
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: Sixty four Grover Stewart.

902
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: He's another good player. Yeah, I mean it doesn't get

903
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: a lot of what's how old. See Grover Stewart is

904
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: definitely much more of a thirty, but he's good.

905
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: At what he does. Yeah. Nice, it's a qual star.

906
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

907
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: Sixty five Jacoby Brissett, I know your lover. Yeah, you

908
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: love the fair there.

909
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 3: I mean it wouldn't be plan a for me if

910
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 3: I was a steer quarterback. But situation. But if you

911
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,280
Speaker 3: want to pick it in Bersett, I'd roll the dice

912
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 3: and I didn't say it's not too bad.

913
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: Sixty six Darnell Mooney.

914
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 3: Not for me. Yeah, he was kind of a flash

915
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: in the panties a little.

916
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: Sixty seven Bobby Wagner didn't have a great year, did not.

917
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 3: I wonder if he hangs it up.

918
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: Sixty eight your Brooks, that's interesting.

919
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 3: I mean that's a late first round pick, good tester.

920
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 3: I think he missed a whole year of his career

921
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 3: with an injury, probably twenty six ish.

922
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: He's twenty six. He had sixty two tackles, four and

923
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: a half sacks, eight tackles for a lost, five quarterback hits,

924
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: an interception, and a touchdown last year. So he kind

925
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: of does some things across the Yeah, I don't think

926
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: he's I think he might just be coming into This

927
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: is the problem drafting these guys is that it takes

928
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: them three or four years to finally get it. Well,

929
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: he missed a year with injuries. Yeah, maybe maybe he's

930
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: just coming into getting it.

931
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 3: So I say now might be the time to buy him,

932
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 3: you know, And you get two really good years out

933
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 3: of him or three really good years out of them

934
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 3: the linebacker options, that's not bad.

935
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sixty nine is Devin White.

936
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: See, I'm not there with him. Yeah, his highlight reels awesome.

937
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: I just think he's mean.

938
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 3: I think he's properly ranked here.

939
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

940
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 3: Like some people will be like, why is he a funny.

941
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: Yea, why is he because the name is not has

942
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: not matched the production.

943
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: No, you're getting in and let's be fair, maybe year

944
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 3: five and six are better. Calms down a little bit

945
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: and you get lightning in a bottle. Maybe. I mean

946
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 3: you'd have to know his knowledge of the game and

947
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 3: all those type of things.

948
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's better than Devin Bush. Oh yeah, but

949
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: that's not saying a whole No, we haven't seen. We

950
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: have seen.

951
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 3: Devin is going to be. Yeah, in the just missed list.

952
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Either seventy Ryan Tannehill.

953
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 3: Of course we're gonna talk about him. We talked about

954
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 3: he in the entire offense last year was really bad.

955
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 3: He was behind the worst line in the.

956
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: League though, with below average low.

957
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 3: Average receivers and I don't know how even how much

958
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 3: he played last year because he got hurt.

959
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: He started eight games.

960
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 3: Only eight, Okay, but I think his mind and he's

961
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 3: still a good athlete. I mean, he's not the wide

962
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 3: receiver he was at Texas. A m is a called

963
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 3: it sophomore has value and I think he's more than

964
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 3: just a Flacco old man placeholder big brother. I don't

965
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 3: know if he's one of the best thirty two quarterbacks

966
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 3: on the planet anymore. But if the Steelers signed him

967
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 3: the big brother placeholder, stuff would have valued maybe a placeholder,

968
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 3: but the big brother, I think.

969
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: He would have more. He would have more value in

970
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh now than maybe anywhere else. Is the number two?

971
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he knows the offense right right.

972
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: He's not going to need a ton of snaps and

973
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: training because he knows the offense.

974
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that. People think, how do

975
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 3: we compete with Mahomes with with Picket and Tannehill? Well,

976
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 3: this isn't a bad option all things considered, in my opinion.

977
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, Well, here's the thing. If you're going to

978
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: go the route of going with Picket, a veteran backup,

979
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: and drafting drafting one of the third or fourth round,

980
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: Tannehill's the perfect guy for that. Yeah, because he doesn't

981
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 1: mean any snaps and can't eat like very few.

982
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

983
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could say, well, you know, he's the

984
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: Picket's going to be the starter. Tannehill's your backup, and

985
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: you can get the rookie all kinds of snaps.

986
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 3: I picket looks terrible. He has a short leash. Yeah,

987
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, I would assume I don't think that's

988
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 3: a bad setup. It's not overwhelming that, yeah, but it's

989
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 3: not a bad setup all things considered, and it could

990
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 3: have a lot of value elsewhere.

991
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: Seventy one Donovan Smith ugh yuck wow. Seventy two Odell

992
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: Beckham junior.

993
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 3: Yuck yeah yeah.

994
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: Seventy three Ezra Cleveland the guard with the Jaguars guard.

995
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am curious. What does someone pay Odell this year?

996
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: Not fifteen million, but it's five three? Yeah, right, And

997
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: he might just say no, yeah, I'll just.

998
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 3: Go do TikTok stuff and be a you know, celebrity

999
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 3: somewhere else.

1000
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: Seventy four Doron's armstrong edge rusher with the Cowboys.

1001
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 3: Ascending player. I mean he wouldn't fit here, yeah, and

1002
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 3: they're not after that position.

1003
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: But seventy five is John Runyon with the Packers. Another guard,

1004
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: beer guard Yeah, dad was a player in the league

1005
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: and seventy six. Miles Bryant cornerback with the Patriots.

1006
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 3: Miles Bryant, Why do I not know him? Okay?

1007
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: Sixty five tackles last year, seven tackles for a loss,

1008
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: seven pass defenses in an interception.

1009
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 3: Well, they play a lot of man and he was

1010
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 3: a slot. Okay that huh, I need to work in.

1011
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 3: I mean, I know the name, I just don't know

1012
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 3: much about him. Didn't realize he was their true slot. Yeah,

1013
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 3: part of one of the best defenses in the league

1014
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 3: in my opinion.

1015
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: Seven tackles for a loss out of the slot.

1016
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: I mean that's what. Yeah, that's what you're looking for.

1017
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 3: I'm going to dig into him when I get home.

1018
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's the profile you're looking for. He

1019
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 3: can't be super twenty six. He's not gonna be super expensive.

1020
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 1: Seventy seven Julian Blackman, we've talked about the good.

1021
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 3: Option to me. Yeah, but what do they say about him?

1022
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 3: Anything's special?

1023
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: You know, he's a single high safety that he moved

1024
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 1: down free, but moved down to the box the last

1025
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: two seasons close to the ball has helped him. He's

1026
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: an effective tackler.

1027
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: He's a quality player. Well he's twenty six something like.

1028
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: That, twenty five wo Tours Achilles in twenty twenty one,

1029
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: but it looks like.

1030
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 3: He's back from that time.

1031
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I think he would be a guy

1032
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: that would fit.

1033
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's probably four or five million.

1034
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: Seventy eight Josie Jewel.

1035
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 3: It's okay, Yeah he doesn't. I mean, I think he's

1036
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 3: a starting linebacker, but I kind of want to do

1037
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:12,479
Speaker 3: like to do better.

1038
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. Seventy nine DeAndre Swift.

1039
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 3: The land's in the right place, he could do well.

1040
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 1: Eighty Gerald Everett.

1041
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 3: I don't think he'll be back. I mean they want

1042
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 3: a blocking tight end.

1043
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Eighty one Derek Barnett, who's with the Texans last year.

1044
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's former first round pick that's bounced around four

1045
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 3: to three end.

1046
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: Eighty two Kendrick Bourne.

1047
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: That's not a bad one either, by the way. Yeah,

1048
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 3: I mean it's We've talked about a couple of cheap

1049
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 3: options who are something named like Westbrook a Keene We've

1050
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 3: thrown out there. Bourne's had some injuries, but he's not bad.

1051
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: No. Eighty three Sheldon Rankins.

1052
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 3: You'd have to weigh him against ogun jobie. Maybe it's

1053
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 3: about sameing to me.

1054
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: Well, he'd be heavier.

1055
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1056
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: Eighty four Terrell Dodson mentioned him when we're talking about linebackers.

1057
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know a ton about him, but he's

1058
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 3: would be in the mix.

1059
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Eighty five Tyler Huntley, Yeah. Eighty six or In

1060
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: Birks with the San Francisco forty nine ers. The Super

1061
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: Bowl tape isn't going to do him.

1062
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 3: No, he got picked on. Of course, he got thrown

1063
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 3: in the mix.

1064
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: Eighty seven Leonard Floyd, pure edge guy, long form, a

1065
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: first round pick.

1066
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 3: I probably have him hireed on the list. Eighty eight

1067
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 3: Tier Tart nose tackle type.

1068
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1069
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a big dude, big dude.

1070
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: Eighty nine Micah Hyde old dude, old dude. Ninety Curtis Samuel.

1071
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 3: Have intrigues maybe, yeah, hard to count on.

1072
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: Ninety one John Simpson with the Ravens.

1073
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 3: Another pure guard, but yeah, he's the name we haven't

1074
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 3: brought up. Is just another dude.

1075
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: They're going, Yeah, they're going to lose some of these guys.

1076
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: Ninety two Jermaine illumin Or with the Raiders.

1077
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 3: He's a tackle that's gotten better and better. I mean,

1078
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 3: if at the right price, he shoved them in at

1079
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 3: right tackle for the next two years. Probably wouldn't have

1080
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 3: you know'd be fine.

1081
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: I said. Ninety three is Jeremy Chin.

1082
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 3: He's only I'd kick the tires on. He'd fall out

1083
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 3: of favor. But a weird environment there.

1084
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. Ninety four Tyler Boyd.

1085
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 3: Could he come home if he got cut?

1086
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I don't see that.

1087
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 3: It'd be a latent free agency type of thing.

1088
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:19,440
