And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.720 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.960 more Draft Talk. We're taking a holistic view at the 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.000 Dolphins draft class, how it played out, some of the 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.680 upside of their draft day thinking and strategy, and some 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.680 of my own notes and interesting trends about the rest 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.240 of the draft. Plus we'll hear from the national media 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.600 landscape on the Dolphins draft. From the Baptist Health Studios 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.640 inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:53.239 This is. 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:59.560 The Draft Time Podcast. Ye Daffis First, I wanted to. 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.200 Go ahead and talk about some of the thoughts or 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:06.680 tweets or just general ideas out in the social media 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.120 sphere of how the Dolphins draft played out. And I 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.800 start with the same thing we let off yesterday's podcast, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.760 talking about the Warren Sharp consensus big board reach versus 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.880 Value board and Miami finished second in that category in 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.200 terms of net places gained in terms of where they 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:27.679 drafted the player versus their consensus big Board value. And look, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.200 the consensus big board has been getting a lot of 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.360 run lately in terms of just the general conversation about 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.080 the draft and who gets the best value. 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.720 But if you go back over several years. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.959 And this is compiling like one hundred big boards, a 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.800 Reef Hassan from Wide Left does this. He wrote the 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.080 great article recap in what happened to the Draft Network 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.400 and the death of that once very promising website and company, 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.280 and he compiles this. 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:52.960 And it's pretty accurate. 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.800 Man Like, it plays out pretty good in terms of 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.400 where these these players know their careers wind up taking 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.480 them in the production they give the team that drafts 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.360 them originally as rookies. And so I thought it was 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.200 worth talking about because on this consensus big board, the 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.280 Dolphins made out really well number two overall in terms 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.880 of the value they got for the players based upon 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.919 where they were predicted or projected to go by the media. 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.320 And I'm not talking again, probably threw some strays out 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.239 on the Monday podcast. I'm not talking about the Washington 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.760 Post or a guy that you know knows thirty names 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.040 in the draft and then goes ahead and does or 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.000 seven round thirty two grades on every draft team's draft 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.239 in the National Football League. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:34.600 I'm talking about you. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.920 Know, your Kyle Krabs's, your John Ledyards, your Daniel Jeremiah 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.799 or Dane Bruger, like all the people that I think 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.440 are very respected in this industry. So that's a very 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.120 I guess slippery slope in terms of, well, this draft 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.320 board is valuable, this one's not. I think that this 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.160 one because of the sheer volume of it and the 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.079 number of opinions it captures, and the value of those 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.880 opinions to me makes it valuable. So here's the exact data. 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.120 Malik Washington was considered one of the biggest steals of 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.560 the entire draft. Based on the CBB expected pick was 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.440 one oh one. He goes one eighty four, So that's 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.320 a net of plus eighty three spots. Does that make sense? 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:16.280 So eighty three for him. Taj Washington was plus sixty 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:20.079 two net spots, Moe Kamara was fifty five, Jalen Wriot 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.760 was forty seven, and then Patrick Paul was actually thirteen 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.160 spots over projected probably some tackle bump there for him, 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.679 especially in that second round. And then actually believe or 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.120 not the one guy besides Patrick McMorris, who was one 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.960 hundred and two spots behind the consensus big board. I 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.280 think most folks looked at him as a priority free agent. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.960 He winds up going there in the was it the 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.480 seventh round or late sixth round? Late sixth round for 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.920 Patrick McMorris. But the other guy that was behind the 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.680 consensus big board in terms of a reach was actually 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.200 Chop Robinson, who was relatively twenty eighth on that board. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.760 He goes seven spots behind where he was supposed to go, 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.080 quote unquote. So in general, the Dolphins and Chris Career 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.560 and Mike McDaniel, the entire staff did a fantastic job 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.280 of really maximizing the value that was presented to them 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.120 with the opportunities they had there on the draft, on 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.320 the draft board on Draft nine, here's what the people 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:09.600 out there are saying. Just want to go ahead and 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.560 compile some of these tweets about our guys. First of all, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.600 Doug Farrar, who writes the I think It's the Touchdown 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.560 Wire the NFL networks like, or the NFL's entire SB 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.600 Nation blog. Of course, the Dolphins got Malik Washington in 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.000 the sixth round, of course they did, he writes. Lance 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.600 Zerline writes, Malik Washington to the Dolphins theft that's all 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.840 he said. So those I think the thoughts are pretty 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.599 well known out there about Malik Washington. Dante Colinelli, the 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.960 guy that did the what position did he do for us? 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:37.160 Now? 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.360 I can't remember. I think he did linebackers. I'm forgetting 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.440 he did one of our draft preview pause. He was 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.920 really good, and I apologize for not remembering what position 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.920 group he did, but he put together a thread and 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.840 he was like, yeah, it took me four plays to see. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:49.320 Oh yeah. 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.840 Malik Washington basically ran all the routes the Dolphins run 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.280 under Mike McDaniel. So that's part of where you get 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.480 this idea behind McDaniel on the phone call, telling Malik, 0:04:58.600 --> 0:04:59.840 like if you're a pro and you come in here 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.120 and you or on your stuff and you get it 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.560 all taken care of, Like it's not just that you're 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:05.680 going to make the team, Like you could be productive 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.279 in your rookie season and really make a name for 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.039 yourself as a six round draft pick right away. 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.039 And this happens all the time. 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.520 In fact, I'm not gonna call him Puka Nakua because 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.800 that would be insane. Puoka was and is one of 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.560 the best receivers in the National Football League, but Day 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:22.440 three receivers that sometimes wind up being steals. To me, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.799 it's Malik Washington. It's entire class, not for the Dolphins, 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.320 in the entire class. I saw a coach on Twitter, 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.000 O line coach Smith is his name, breaking down Patrick 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.080 Paul tape. And look, this has been much bandied about. 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.400 You can justify the selection, you can just hate it 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.520 because the tape is bad. But it's kind of funny 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.760 because all these you know, I've complained about this on 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.080 the podcast so many times. There's a general consensus about 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:50.760 the value of traits at quarterback versus playing the quarterback position, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.679 But I don't see that same energy transferred to other spots, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.160 like an offensive tackle. Like Drake May's tape this year sucked. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:05:59.440 It was bad. 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.680 I would agree that there was a bit of a 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.640 drop off in terms of his surrounding cast, and that 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.159 matters to me, just like Josh Allen's final year at 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.800 Wyoming where everyone left and they. 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.120 Had a horrible, horrible football. 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.120 Team around him, or Jordan Love at Utah State, same 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.960 exact situation, all the top players ended up graduating, going 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.080 to the draft or whatever it was, and he was 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.920 left with a terrible, terrible football team. You can say 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.560 the same thing happened to Drake May this year, but 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.960 with the tape was bad. The tape was just flat 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.280 out bad. Both Patrick Paul this year tape was bad. 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.720 But you see those physical traits, the big rocket arm 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.880 as far as a quarterback goes right, but his big 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.200 athletic ability out in space, and that's what these clips 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.159 showed was him leading these convoys out wide and hitting 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.120 critical blocks in space to spring these long touchdowns for 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.040 the Houston Cougars. 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:44.480 The wrong go kooks. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.640 I mean, all I can think about is to Ron 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.599 Armstead or Austin Jackson or the interior guys Connor Williams, 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.720 and how frequently he was out on the perimeter, which, 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.839 by the way, just a quick side note. McDaniel and 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.640 Greer were asked about the possibility of Connor Williams returning 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.880 to the team at some point, and right now, mynerstanding 0:06:59.920 --> 0:07:02.120 is his rehab is nowhere close. Like there's a bunch 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.760 of actrophy and he has to reget back into football shape. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.520 But like that's probably a good thing for Miami because 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.240 if he's out there in October and let's say Isaiah 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.400 Win gets hurt again or whatever happens to your lineup, 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.480 if someone goes out, where's the first place that Connor 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.400 Williams should look to go to get a half of 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.000 a season worth of play in and good quality tape 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.440 to then go get the contract that he was always desiring. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.400 It's Miami and Mike McDaniel so like. And they talked 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.200 about how there's been communication there with McDaniel and Connor 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.680 Williams and Chris Career and Connor Williams. So I don't 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.080 think the doors closed on that yet. And I would 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:36.960 just remember that in the back of your mind when 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.960 the offensive line looks a certain way or you're concerned 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.440 about something like, there's probably contingencies in place, and one 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:45.000 of those could be down the road Connor Williams. But 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.800 all those guys aside from the sidebar there get out 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.880 in space and make critical blocks down the field that 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.840 sprung big plays for this Dolphins run game and pass game. Right. So, 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.800 Nate Tice is another guy that I think very highly of, 0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.600 a guy that I've discussed his quarterback takes in terms 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.720 of the rates versus you know, Polish at quarterback, and 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.280 he actually is consistent in these takes. So Nate Ties 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.640 from the Athletic and Yahoo of course, son of Mike Tice, 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.040 said that he had Patrick Paul as his thirty sixth 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.360 overall player and wrote this peer traits and demeanor you're 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.520 betting on here. Not the cleanest tape, as both McDaniel 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.200 and Greer have acknowledged, he has length, strength and shows 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.200 the all important ability to recover even if he had 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.760 to use it a lot, because he got beat a 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.600 lot last year. And that's all true, but the recovery 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.040 produced the PFF stats and the metrics that we talked about, right, 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.559 didn't let his quarterback get sacked but once each of 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.679 the last two years, didn't let his quarterback get hit, 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.880 but all the whole season last year twice total and 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.120 nine total pressures. That is not impacting your passing game 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.000 rhythm from the left tackle position. And if he got 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.400 beat and he's doing that, and the coaching staff feels 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.480 that can coach him up, Like, I totally get the 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.160 idea behind that decision. So maybe it doesn't happen right 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.080 away for Patrick Paul, but I think there's a lot 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.040 to be excited about there with what he could possibly 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:00.240 become in his career. 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:00.720 At some point. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.200 Greg Cosel did the podcast last spring her last winter, 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:05.960 i should say, in Annapolis, and it has a bunch 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.440 of you know, grinds tape and watches this stuff, and 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.560 he said this about Chop Robinson in terms of explosiveness 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.959 and twitchiness off the edge, He's probably the best edge 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.160 in the entire class. There were so many plays where 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.560 he would just beat the tackle and just wouldn't get 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.360 a sack for whatever reason. So I keep seeing like, 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.680 for instance, we'll talk about Keyon Coleman here in a second, 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.000 but I saw Bills fans like coming after the Dolphins 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.200 for saying, oh, Keon Coleman had four less sacks than 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.920 than Chop Robinson did last year. Like that's that's casual, 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.120 bro like watch tape because this reminds me so much 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.520 of the twenty twenty two Dolphins, the injury issues in 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.160 the secondary, and how when the secondary got healthy in 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.800 twenty twenty three, what do we do but set a 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.800 franchise record for the most sacks in Dolphins history. I'm 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.960 just saying, all right, let's go ahead and get to 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.600 some of my own thoughts here on the podcast. I 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.400 want to get to a few things I think, kind 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.840 of borrow from the Peter King ten Things I think segment, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:09:59.719 although it's not ten or even five. Just a few 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.360 thoughts here before we get into the favorite drafts Least 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.400 Favorite draft Zax Eiler in Austin Jackson Media from Tuesday. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.520 But number one here is the Dolphins approach to positional drafting. 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.360 This go around drafting two edge defenders, two wide receivers, 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.720 and an offensive tackle. That's five of your seven picks 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.600 at premium spots and the best way to stay competitive 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.800 while you pay a top of the line, top of 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.080 the market quarterback, which argue to a wall, that's what 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.160 TUA is is to refresh your pipeline with rookie contract 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.559 contributions at the most expensive positions. Wide receiver is top, 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.280 then edge, then tackle. All of that stands quarterback obviously, 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.040 and the Chiefs have done a great job of this recently, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.280 which actually, you know what now, I just thought of 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.480 a pivot real quick. So number one, everything like Tyreek 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.920 Hill said is accurate and true. Like shut up, don't 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.120 go on Twitter all day and complain about the GM 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.360 and then when someone says something back to you, you 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.840 start calling foul. The guy that tweeted at the Dolphins like, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.440 is this professionals you want? Like shut up, dude, shut 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.160 up nerd, come on, get out of here. That was 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.840 my first thought. There my other thought on that topic, 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.920 or maybe not that topic per se. But I keep 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.520 seeing like win a playoff game, haven't done enough to 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.120 have success, and like, I get it that ultimately the 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.840 result is not what you want to be. And I'm 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.719 with you, guys, nobody wants to see this team win 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.360 playoff games more than I do. But I just think 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.640 that there's a more of a reality than some people 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.600 realize exist. Like I was thinking about this watching the 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.520 Heat game on Monday, Like it was three and a 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.120 half weeks ago. The Heat were in Philadelphia with a 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.600 lead with a minute ago. Jimmy was healthy, Rogier was healthy, 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.120 and looked like they were gonna win that game and 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.360 then put themselves in position to go win a couple 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.800 more games to earn the sixth seed and travel till 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.120 Milwaukee or Cleveland, Orlando wherever it could have been in 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.680 the first round. Instead, in the matter of three weeks, 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.680 they lost that game. They blew it with some bad 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.960 plays late. They lost the Indiana game. They lose Jimmy 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.280 and Terry Rogier over the course of the three and 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.200 a half weeks to injuries, and now they go into 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.079 a series against Boston where they have no chance. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.760 Like a season can be derailed so so quickly. 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.720 It's why you're promised nothing and why even Brian Floor 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.959 has always said like, we wouldn't want done anything yet 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:07.880 like that's always accurate until you actually get to the 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.520 mountain top. And I'm just thinking about how easily it 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.760 is for a season to go off the rails like 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.680 that due to injuries. And we saw the last two 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.000 years to getting hurt and not playing in the playoff game. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.280 And don't tell me about Scolar Thompson scoring thirty one points. 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.520 We had no drives over forty yards that day. We 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.320 turned over the Josh Allen the Bills offense and score 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.840 points because of that. And last year, the entire edge 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.800 group goes down with injuries, the offense is banged up 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.760 for the entire month of December. Things can go wrong 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.080 that you just have no control over. And to hold 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.600 the playoff wins things against him, like, yeah, we lost 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.160 in twenty twenty against Buffalo, we lost in twenty twenty 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.840 one against the Titans. We lost without a Buffalo again 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.880 in the playoffs two years ago, and then last year 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.960 you lost to the greatest quarterback of all time, the 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.680 three out of five season defending world champions in twenty 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:55.760 negative twenty five degree weather. Like, there are contexts, There 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.640 is context to all of this stuff. It can't just 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.120 be as basic as hasn't won a playoff game. That's 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.800 want to get that off my chest. It's been bothering me. 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:02.839 So there you go. 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:04.839 Now again the end result, gotta find a way to 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.080 win those those games that talked about him losing, have 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.160 to find a way to play better, no doubt about that. 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.800 But to like think that you have to discard the quarterback, 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.080 tear down the rebuild the GM is awful. All of 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:20.600 that is hyperbolic. Sorry, off of one general thought. That's 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.280 just misplaced and misinformed. That's kind of how I feel 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.679 about that. And good for Ty representing it, for the 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.439 GM and the team and the fans, because like, this 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:28.760 team's won a lot of games, You've had a lot 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.000 of fun times because of this team the last four years. Again, 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.959 end result hasn't been there, but chill the f out 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.840 is my whole point. Let's actually go ahead and take 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.080 our first break rate there and come back and redo 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.720 these points I have. That's all next Draft Time podcast, 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.240 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.880 So I got into my first point here my takeaways 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.360 from the draft for the Miami Dolphins Peter King ten 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.880 things I think style, but only a few things. And 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.040 let's go ahead and repeat number one there. So the 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.160 Dolphins drafted two edges, two receivers, and an offensive tackle. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.920 That is five of seven premium spots. And I believe 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.320 the best way to stay competitive while you pay your 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.760 top of the market, top of the line quarterback is 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:13.080 to refresh your pipeline with rookie contract contributions. And typically 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.160 you want to do that at the most expensive positions 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.160 because aside from quarterback, receiver, edge and tackle are the 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.680 top three in that category. And the reason I thought 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.600 about the Tyreek aside there was because I compared them 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.080 to the or I compared this to the Chiefs, who 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.360 did a great job of this very recently as they 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.280 transitioned to the adjustment of paying their top of the 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.640 line quarterback and Mahomes is a lot better than two. 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.120 I will go ahead and with that right now. I 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:39.360 think everyone agrees with that, and they hit on those quarterbacks. Conversely, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.120 we've seen the Buffalo Bills. I wouldn't say struggle because 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.280 they're still in the playoffs every year. They get to 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.840 the second round last year, although again side point, the 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.640 playoff matchups are what dictated who won playoff games last year. 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.240 Buffalo is not beating KC and Miami would have beat Pittsburgh, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.880 Miami would beat Houston. I think Miami would have beat Cleveland. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.680 I think Mima would have even beat Houston last year 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.760 because I know the hot team right now, but that 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.440 was not a good football team last year. They were 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.160 nine and eight and had to win because of a 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.320 drop pass against the Colts and the final minute of 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:04.640 the game. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:05.280 I digress. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.320 This is all side point, but anyway, Buffalo, yes, I 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.720 think their roster has deteriorated some. I think they have 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.720 had some bad management in terms of dead cap and 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:13.760 what they've had to do to get rid of to 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.200 Von Diggs, and the roster has taken a hit as 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.040 a result of that. So while they haven't struggled, I 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.520 think that right now when you take a look at 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.520 where they are compared to the Chiefs in terms of perception, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.400 and not even just in playoff result, but how they're 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.280 viewed in terms of the Super Bowl contention, like they're 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.960 nowhere close. And it's because they haven't done a good 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.280 job of drafting and filling that pipeline last few years. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.520 It's been some rough draft classes. Outside of like Dalton 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.760 King Kaid and a couple of picks here and there, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.800 it's just not been good. And that's why they're struggling 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.200 right now to find twenty two players to play for 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.360 them every single Sunday. But back to k C, I 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:51.160 mean Trent McDuffie, all star right, an all Pro at 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.880 a premium spot on a rookie contract. George Carl Loftis 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.840 is not an all Star yet, but he's headed that way. 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.440 He's on a rookie deal at a premium spot. Jalen 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.280 Watson not an all star, but he's a premium spot 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.240 and a good star for them on a seventh round contract. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.600 Like that is, you can't always have all be all stars. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.200 But if Malik Washington becomes a six hundred snap player 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.960 in the sixth round who catches seventy balls a year 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:16.080 for you for one thousand yards. Be pretty damn valuable 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.920 right to have that receiver on that sixth round rookie contract. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.200 That's kind of Jaalen Watson's role there. Brian Cook was 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.240 in that same class, not a premium spot at safety, 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.920 but that's a cheap starter who really moves the needle 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.520 and kind of helps Steve Spagnolo's defense do what it does. Like. 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.920 He's kind of a premium guy in that defense, although 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.880 not compensated by a premium contract because one he's a rookie, 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:35.680 but two he's also a safety, so you get it 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.320 right now. They will attempt the Chiefs to do the 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.760 exact same thing with Xavier Worthy. So if we can 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.040 come out of this draft between Chop and Kamara, between 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.320 the two Washingtons on day three, say we get a 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.480 starter edge and a starter wide receiver out of this 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.240 and Jalen Wright becomes what it looks like he can 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.520 become and be the Brian Cook of the draft, so 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.800 to speak, And say Patrick Paul finds a way to 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.880 hit that development in a couple of years and becomes 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.040 our next Austin Jackson, maybe a year or two earlier 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:02.920 hopefully and we come out of this with a tackle, 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.040 an edge, a wide out, and a back. I mean, 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.360 that's how you sustain success. That's how you can say 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.320 goodbye to other players and get comp picks back in 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.600 return and keep that pipeline flowing. That's how you keep 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.560 your books open and available to go out and get 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.280 a Kyle Fuller, to go out and get a Shaq 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.879 Barrett when you need those guys. And it's how you 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.720 compete when you have a top notch quarterback and the 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.679 contract requisite to get that quarterback and a pipeline of 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.439 good players. And I think there's a good chance that 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.080 is what the Dolphins have right now. My second thought, 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.159 my second takeaway from this draft, let's go ahead and 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:33.760 pull up this tweet that I'm trying to access right 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.520 now from myself. There it is so I talked about 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.080 this on Twitter after drafting Patrick Paul, and I think 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:43.960 there's an interesting trend with offensive offensive line offensive line 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.120 development in the NFL. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.000 I talked about it on the podcast, But. 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.080 The way the college game the podcast, I mean, this 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.480 has been for years now, but how the college game 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.600 has evolved, and I think it makes the transition to 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.919 the pros a lot tougher, especially for the offensive lineman 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.920 in air raid offense. Is now to put a wet 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.600 blanket on this to start. Great way to do your argument, Travis. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.720
