7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: We could do a mock draft every segment of every

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: show from here on out to the to the outpen

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,680

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 2: different things. I mean, it's yeah, absolutely, but we don't.

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: We're gonna do Pro Football Focus mock draft here, but

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: I'm not going to use their board at all. I'm

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: going completely public, okay on this one. Good God, I'm

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: going to increase the care for positional value to about fifty.

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: We're drafting more for needs. That's that's set more to

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: the to the the high end of things. And I'm

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: going to enter this draft and we're going to get

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: rolling here. I do like the option that they give

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: you to not just use their board. Now.

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: I do like that too.

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: That's there's so many mock drafters out there that well,

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: you got to use our board. Then you start looking

23
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: and like I don't agree with this at all. So

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,240

Speaker 1: a laptop. So you're gonna have to help me a

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: little bit on available players because I just don't have

37
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: the resources to jot down the normal names that I okay,

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,240

Speaker 1: And those are really the only is Miles Murphy available.

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: I did not look to see that. I think he is, Yes,

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: he is. We have four trade offers.

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: Matt, I would gladly trade down with what'sitting here.

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: So the Seahawks are on the phone. They have picked twenty.

50
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: The other three teams that are calling us the Texans

51
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: at thirty three, the Commanders are forty seven, the Browns

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: at seventy four. No way, So the Seahawks are twenty

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: comfortable with, So go into the twenty. Great, Yeah, the

54
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: Seahawks at twenty is very interesting. Absolutely, So we offer seventeen,

55
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: they offer twenty. Of course they're gonna say that. But

56
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 2: how about will they give us fifty two? They're saying, no,

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: they're not going to give us fifty two. How about

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: eighty three, eighty three we can get from them and

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: still get something else.

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: I got to say, can we get like one thirty

61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: or somewhere in that wasteland that where the Steelers don't

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: have they have.

63
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: One fifty one and one fifty four. So let's do it.

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: Let's do an ask here, a soft ask of to

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: one fifty four. That is a sixty seven percent chance.

66
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: So big accepted, and we're gonna just a sweeten the pot.

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: We'll throw in to fifty one. Yeah, because we're not

68
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: going to want to make many picks. I'm going to

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: offer the trade. They accepted it. So we're picking at

70
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: twenty and the picks ahead of us were Nolan Smith

71
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: at seventeen fine, Jean Robinson at eighteen fine, Darnel Right

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: at nineteen fine. So that means we're out of the

73
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: offensive tackle range here.

74
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: So my names are still Banks, Brazy Branch, Killer Bees,

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: and Murphy. Now we just picked up an extra pick.

76
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: Kind of makes me lean towards Murphy.

77
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: I still lean towards Bres because he's the more obvious fit.

78
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: That's that's that's scary.

79
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: I could get it. I could get an edge in

80
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: rounds with maybe one of that eighty third pick like

81
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: he just picked up, right. I mean, if I get

82
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: Derek Call at eighty three, okay.

83
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: No, I hear it, I hear or even eighty Mury

84
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: is more than an edge.

85
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: He is but I think Brise kind of fills that need.

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not gonna have a hard time convention

87
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: me on Berse. I mean, trust me, especially after a

88
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: trade down. I mean, yeah, I think I think has

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: to be the pick. He goes, go for the big guy.

90
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: It's nice to be out of the d tackle market

91
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: in this class.

92
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you get the second best one, right, all right,

93
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: and now you're you know, now you're good. Okay, So

94
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: we're back up at thirty two. The rest of the

95
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: first round effort we took bresee.

96
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Was guy's still there? Banks or branch Or.

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: Murphy went at twenty one, Addison went at twenty two

98
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: to the Ravens. Deontay Banks goes twenty three, Michael Mayer

99
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: twenty four, Brian Branch twenty five, Kancy goes at twenty six,

100
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Forbes at twenty seven.

101
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have thought about him too, Yeah.

102
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: Dalton Kin Ka, Quentin Johnson, Will McDonald, Kem White. Okay,

103
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: So Anton Harrison is there.

104
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 1: It's not terrible.

105
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: Felix and duque Isoma is there.

106
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: I think he's fine, but I don't I would rather

107
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: if I wasn't gonna go Murphy. I think I'd rather

108
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: wait till a pick later than this for an age.

109
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, BJ Jilari, Day One, Jones, Osyrus, Torrence, Dayon, Henley,

110
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 2: all the linebackers of this are still there, Cam.

111
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: Smith, Darnell Washington.

112
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe since I have that extra pick.

113
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Now, that's what I'm saying, you have a luxury position

114
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: to take, whether it's an edge, a tight end, something

115
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: you didn't plan on taking first time around. I'm leaning

116
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: towards Harrison. I like Washington, and I think it's a

117
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: little early for the linebackers. I'd consider trading down again too.

118
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: We've have any offers, No, we have five offers. Yeah,

119
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: you want to see the.

120
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: Highest being the Raiders at thirty eight.

121
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable going to thirty eight.

122
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: So they've got thirty eight seventy nine from the Raiders.

123
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: I think I want thirty eight for thirty two, and

124
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: then I think I want something next year.

125
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: Fine. I mean, all of a sudden, the roster is

126
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: getting pretty crowded, and you keep trading, it's going to

127
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: get even more.

128
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't. I don't want more picks this year.

129
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: I'm comfortable with what we have. Give me. How about

130
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: next year's two? No, they're not going to do next

131
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: year's two. Next year's three they'll do, though.

132
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: Let's do next year's three, and let's turn our remaining

133
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: seventh into their fifth.

134
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: That they'll do that, okay. So we get to forty one,

135
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: they get a bunch of picks there in those. Let's

136
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: see if they'll give us.

137
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: We just move that up fifty spots thirty.

138
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: One, we have two forty one, they have one forty one.

139
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: Let's see if they'll do that next year's third. I

140
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: do that for sure, fifty one percent chance that that

141
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: will be accepted. I'm gonna offer it.

142
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, give a shut.

143
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: It has been accepted. Okay. Cool. So that was thirty eight, Yeah,

144
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: thirty we got thirty eight and one forty one and

145
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: next year's third round pick for thirty two to two

146
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: forty one.

147
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna be in early third two. They're bad, Yeah,

148
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: they're bad.

149
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: That's why I want one of their picks. All right,

150
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: So we're going to resume a draft. Here. The guys

151
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: take it ahead of us. They moved up to take Anton.

152
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Harrison Smart to that.

153
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,040

00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: A lot of big people, a lot of big people.

158
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: So I'm starting to make a.

159
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: Cake for Darnel Washington. You could have any linebacker except

160
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: for Sanders, right, didn't he.

161
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Just go Sanders' is? Yeah, Sanders's gone. I kind of

162
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: like Jack Campbell there.

163
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's not a tackle to take, right.

164
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: There's not. I don't think so Bursern's there, but I

165
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: think Burgeron will be available and we pick it forty nine.

166
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: Who's the best corner?

167
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: Cody Motch will be available and we pick it forty nine.

168
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: Tackle though Julius Brents is available, I'd consider that.

169
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: I would have no problem with that either.

170
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: I think Kaylee Ringo is available too. We've talked about.

171
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: So here's the cornerback position available are Yeah, Cam Smith,

172
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: Tyreek Stevenson, Julius Brince, DJ Turner, Kaylee.

173
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: Ringo, Brentson Turner are my favorites. Ringo scares me. I

174
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: think he's really stiff.

175
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: M Corey Trice is there. I mean, there's just that's

176
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: what why this this h I'm not all on board

177
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: with taking a cornerback in the first round because this

178
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: position is just so deep.

179
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: I know, but I do feel like one of our

180
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: seconds better.

181
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: Be a corner, right, I hear you there?

182
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: This or the next one.

183
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: What do you like their Brince Smith, Turner.

184
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Uh, Brents or Turner.

185
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: I kind of like brent Sair just I like the

186
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: physical makeup.

187
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: That's fine by me, Julius. Brnce it is, and they've

188
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: been doing really well in the league lately.

189
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. We are back up at forty nine, and

190
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 2: we missed out on linebackers.

191
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are.

192
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: They're all Dayon Henley is still there.

193
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: I like him, but that seems early, but that's too early.

194
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

195
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

196
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: So right now we've taken a defensive tackle and a

197
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: cornerback and Matthew Bergeron is still there.

198
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: I think you think Burgs are on?

199
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a nice fallback option.

200
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: The new Killer Bees Brese, Brents and berger On.

201
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: There you go. Now we're back up at eighty so

202
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: we have eighty and eighty three here. That's awesome, which

203
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: is fantastic.

204
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tanner McKey, I have a feeling, by the way,

205
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: in one of these two picks not an.

206
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: Edge Rusher, Yeah, both, maybe, Tanner McKee, Nathaniel del Luke, Whipler,

207
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: Garrett Williams, Nick Herbig, Andre Carter, Michael Wilson, Anthony Johnson,

208
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: Chandler Zavala, Jordan Battle, Isaiah Maguire, Carl Brooks, At Perry,

209
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: Dwayne McBride, Tank Bigsby, Kobe Turner, kJ Henry is there,

210
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: Janya Morris is there? You know my guy's there.

211
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: Wrote down to the ones you just said were her Big,

212
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: which I have a feeling We're going to take no

213
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: matter if I like it or not. And I do

214
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: like it. And I also mentioned battle Battle I think

215
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: is quality player too.

216
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: He is, and somebody jumped up and took where'd he go? Yeah,

217
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: jar Tavius Martin when it's seventy six to the Patriots.

218
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: Otherwise I would be banging the table for Chartavius Martin.

219
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: There, you can bang the table for her Big, and

220
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: I'll approve. I'm cool with it.

221
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: We still need a slot, though, we do. I mean,

222
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: I think I think that's in need. That's not a want,

223
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: that's a need.

224
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we didn't draft an edge or inside

225
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: guy and her Big does both what a lot of

226
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: options are available.

227
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: Well, I look at Battle can do that for us?

228
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, got Battle. I didn't realize till this, you know,

229
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: just the last couple of days. Is he did the

230
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: branch role two years ago. Yeah, and then flipped so

231
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Branch became a lot more productive and Battle had a

232
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: quote down year. But he was like the deep middle

233
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: all the time. So you just to see the screen.

234
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: I like the fact that you know the guy can

235
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: play deep middle playing a slot.

236
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Branch is better at it, but Battle is capable.

237
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: What do you think of Anthony Johnson out of Iowa

238
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: State cornerback moved to safety last year? He played a

239
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: lot in a slot. He gives you a big gives

240
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: you a bigger body there, six foot two oh five.

241
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: I feel like I can guarantee he's gonna be there

242
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: in three picks. Though, don't we pick like eighty one

243
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: eighty three year or something like that, or.

244
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: We have yeah, eighty and eighty three. You got Jamie Robinson,

245
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: Ronnie Hickman is there, Jyr Brown is there, Christopher Smith

246
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 2: is there. So there's some safety is there. Let's look

247
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: at that linebacker position just a little bit more here,

248
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: what's available?

249
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: Big or a too lane dude.

250
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: Or Dooriam Williams is there. Okay, the Marvin Overshawan Ivan

251
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: pace they list. I believe Herbig is listed as an edge.

252
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: He's their fifty eighth rated.

253
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: Player, by the way, I understand it. I can't believe

254
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: you're not banging the table for him.

255
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: But we can take him. I'd love to take him. Here.

256
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: We have the same conversation in three picks.

257
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: Right, I love her Big here, do it? I think

258
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: he kills two birds with one stone too, right, Herbig's

259
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: the picks. We're back up again.

260
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: And half now.

261
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: I think we probably should unless you think we can

262
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: get one at one twenty am. I almost want to

263
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: fill the needs unless there's a tight end sitting there

264
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: that I can't pass up.

265
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm curious who that is. I was gonna be the

266
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: next time.

267
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: I Well, look, schoonmaker is there?

268
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: I would for that over then of the names we

269
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: brought up in the last five minutes.

270
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Scoommaker.

271
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: You might have to find a thirty year old slot corner.

272
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: It's been around the block and figured it out from there.

273
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 2: Well, let's see what we can find at the slot

274
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: cornerback pstion. We are back up at one twenty and

275
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: let me see who we like here. So we get

276
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: cornerbacks and we want safeties. Trevius Hodges, Tomlinson is there,

277
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Johnson is He's going to have to be. Anthony

278
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Johnson is still there from Iowa State, Jalen Jones out

279
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: of Texas A and m Ronnie Hickman, Raleigh Moss, Eli Rix,

280
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: Christopher Smith.

281
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to get Moss this late.

282
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. Though, he played ten

283
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: snaps in the slot last year. Now I think he

284
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: can probably do it. He started rolly Moss. See, I

285
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: don't think he can. You don't think he can.

286
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're reach. I mean I think

287
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: you're Oh.

288
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: I think I think, Hey, I he hasn't done it now,

289
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: I know.

290
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: Although I'm gonna say the same thing about l Nephew

291
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: just because he's short and he's a really good player.

292
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: I think he's a slot but he has not done

293
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: it at all.

294
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: Well, I like the fact that Ross has a bigger

295
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: or Moss has a bigger body.

296
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: Oh he's huge. Yeah's directions well enough to Yeah, this

297
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: slot is my worry, not the size. Do you want

298
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: to take Johnson?

299
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I know he can play the slot. And

300
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,239
Speaker 2: you know so if you look at his snap distribution

301
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: last year, two forty five in the slot, two fifty

302
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: eight in the box, seventy four snaps. Is a deep safety.

303
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's kz ish.

304
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: The previous year was five hundred and seventy two snaps

305
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: is the outside cornerback. Same thing in twenty twenty, six

306
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: hundred and ten snaps at outside cornerback. So he can

307
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: really do both for you, and he could play deep middle.

308
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: Is he going to be great at it? No? But

309
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: but you know again, six foot two o five.

310
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: And my hesitation is I al still know as much

311
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: about him. I haven't studied him enough. But uh yeah,

312
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: two five ran four or five four. Yeah, you sold me.

313
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean I think the usage is exactly what we're

314
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: looking for that we have.

315
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: And I would remind people that the Steelers did go

316
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: to the Iowa State Pro Day.

317
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: Yep, let's do it.

318
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: Let's take it.

319
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: At worst, he's going to be a great special teamer.

320
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And we're talking our six pick whatever it

321
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: is here. All right, we're back up at one forty one.

322
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: Where are we going here? Well, what's available is Tanner McKee,

323
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: Kobe Turner.

324
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: Had a better quarterback than we usually do.

325
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: We could Sean Taylor or Sean Tucker running back out

326
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: of Syracuse. Q Scruggs is available.

327
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: It's fine. Ronnie Hickler, second offensive lineman. Can we get

328
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: him on the roster?

329
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: Andrew Vorhees because he not put him on the roster

330
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: this year? Yeah. Vorheas would be interesting because you could

331
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 2: just put him on the pup list or the physically

332
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: unable to perform lists and then just leave him there all.

333
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: Year and say Vores and the Raiders third rounder next

334
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: year are two picks for in next year's class.

335
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: How about this matt Ivan Pace is there?

336
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: That's so bad?

337
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: You take Ivan Pace and then you just tell her big, Hey,

338
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: you're outside, right, right, you don't have to do anything differently.

339
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: You're going to be our outside guy. Pace is going

340
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: to be inside.

341
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: They're a little short on core special teamers too, and

342
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: going Johnson Pace back to back would sure make Danny happy.

343
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: I think he's a good football player.

344
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: I do too.

345
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: That's fine, Let's take him. That's I mean, that's that's purees,

346
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: pure value there. Yeah, all right, we're back up at

347
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: one fifty four. This is our last pick.

348
00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: That's kind of fun.

349
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: We almost have to go quarterback.

350
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably a better one than we usually get.

351
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: Dorian Thompson, Robinson, Clayton, Tune Stetson Bennett, Malie Cunningham, Tyson Badget,

352
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: Max Dugan.

353
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: Tune is my favorite by a wide margin.

354
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think you just take Tune Boom. Yeah.

355
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I fear that he won't be there in the

356
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: seventh round.

357
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no way. Yeah, and we don't have a

358
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: pick there, so.

359
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: No, I mean like in the real world, in the real.

360
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: World, absolutely, yeah, yeah, in the real world. Absolutely, this

361
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: is nice talented. No, it's good. Yeah.

362
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: I think he's a long time too in this league.

363
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: Okay, So we got a B for our trade with

364
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. We got a C plus for taking Brian

365
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 2: borsse twenty one or at twenty I should say, I.

366
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: Don't think they love him, which fine, but we were

367
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: gonna take him at seventeen and we got him at twenty.

368
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, got trade right. Absolutely. We got a B

369
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: minus for taking Julius Brenton thirty eight and trading back

370
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: for the trade back. We got a B even though

371
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: we still we get the Raiders third round draft pick

372
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: next year, which I love uh. At forty nine, we

373
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: took Matthew Bergeron. We got a B plus for that.

374
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 2: Nick Kurbig netted us in a minus.

375
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: Good.

376
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: Luke Schoonmaker got us a D plus at eighty three.

377
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Oh. I disagree heavily, but that's fine.

378
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: Uh. We got an A for Anthony Johnson, we got

379
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: an A for alt Ivan Pace Junior at one forty one,

380
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: and we got a D for Clayton Tone.

381
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: They always give you an A if you take a quarterback.

382
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think they haven't rated as our one hundred

383
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: and sixty eighth prospect. We took him at one fifty four. Okay,

384
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: but that was our last pick, at our last pick.

385
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: Like that should matter? You know, we made all those

386
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: moves to move to get our picks higher. If that's

387
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: our last pick, why shouldn't get a D for it?

388
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: Our overall draft grade we got a B plus. I

389
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: like it.

390
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: I would take it.

391
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: I would take that draft right now. So we have

392
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: Brian Brse, Julius Brince, Matthew burser On, Nick her Big,

393
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: Luke Scoonmaker, Anthony Johnson Junior, I've in pacing, Clayton Tune

394
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: and the Raiders twenty twenty four third round draft pick.

395
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: Sign me up.

396
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm all in on that. No, I like that

397
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 2: would be an interesting I mean I think we I

398
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: don't foresee any of those guys not making the roster.

399
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: Me either, especially because some of those guys special teams contributions.

400
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: There's a whole quarterback, you know.

401
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: So No, I could still use another inside backer, which

402
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: we did with Pace. We added a tight end, which

403
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: we kind of needed. Yeah. No, I like that a lot. Yeah,

404
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 2: me too.

405
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: Well, filled a lot of needs.

406
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: And that's what the draft is all about, Matt.

407
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: Now, we got a lot of players we like too.

408
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if we've ever owned Pace

409
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: or Johnson.

410
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: And all the other guys. I think we've Yeah. Well,

411
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: I mean we tend to end up with the same

412
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: guys because we end up drafting in the same spots.

413
