This is Drivetime with Travis Wingfield. 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:21.360 He's joy my ha hands in the playoffs. 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.560 What is up Dolphins? And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast. 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.400 I am your host, Travis Wingfield. And on today's show 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:36.240 we start our draft preview series with our esteemed guest 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.760 Taylor Kyles is with us today to talk wideouts. Plus 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.080 we'll have some trade options that we could look at 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.240 in the first round and my favorite picks for pick 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.320 twenty one. On this eighth day of April from the 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.360 Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:51.960 This is. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:01:00.280 The Draft Time Podcast. Maybe daffeirs On this Monday, we 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.800 three and a half weeks out from the NFL Draft. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.720 I wanted to take a look at my favorite players 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.880 that could be on the board for pick twenty one 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.199 come April twenty fifth. And like the more tape I watch, 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.360 this will likely change just FYI and we do it 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.200 because well it's fun and it's a good exercise to 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.360 see the different scenarios that my scenarios, scenarios that Miami 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.840 could face come Draft nine. In order to execute this, 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:30.120 we're gonna run a mock draft simulator on pff RIP 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.760 Draft Network, and I will not use PFNS, and I'll 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.640 go off of the available names from that list, just 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.080 so it's not arbitrary, all right, So I ran it, 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.160 and the big three quarterbacks went first. Then the top 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.440 three receivers were gone by pick eight. McCarthy and Joe 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.960 alt In there as well. Vers and Turner gone, no surprises, 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:54.760 brock Bauers gone to corners, Mitchell and Arnold both gone, Latham, Fuaga, Fashanu, Mims, 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.600 and Barton all of the offensive linemen there, they're gone. 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.920 And then lot Too and Nix both went off the boards. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.400 And this is what I mean, man Like twenty one 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.880 should it should provide some really good options for the 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:07.720 Miami Dolphins. And that's why I want to look at 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.600 at who could be eager to get up and who 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.399 could maybe help us recoup some draft capital and get 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.640 the player we might covet on the first night. So 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:22.720 off the top, here are my preferred players, my short 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.079 list of guys at twenty one as it stands right now. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.520 Number one is you Dubbs Troy Fatanu and look, I've 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.320 regurgitated this take time and time and time again. He's 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.120 O line one for me. Getting him here would be 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.800 not to me that dissimilar to when we left the 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.880 first round with Jalen Waddle and Jalen Phillips. Yeah, that's 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.200 two players and too you know, basically they haven't made 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.600 the Pro Bowl yet, but I consider them Pro bowlers. 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.720 Hard to imagine a better scenario from my own scatting 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.480 reports than getting out of this draft with Troy Fatanu 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.400 and the way that Jalen Phillips should not have been 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.600 there at eighteen. I don't think Fatano should be there 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.200 at twenty one. But it's a deep tackle class, so 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.400 who the hell knows. But gosh, this board is loaded. Man. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.800 I've got both Johnny Newton and Byron Murphy on the board, 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.560 and I love both those guys at the spot, we'll 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.239 go with him in that order. Newton first, Murphy one B, 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.040 and I refer you back to the podcast last week 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.640 where I broke down each of their games. I love 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.080 love Newton's pass rush, I love love love Murphy's ability 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.680 to beat three hundred and thirty pound dudes at three 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.360 hundred pounds and still give you plenty of rush or pop. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.960 I should say, as a pass rusher to boot either 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.600 of those players is a round tripper as they call 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.600 him in baseball. And then my fourth guy is Jackson 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.240 Powers Johnson. He was kind of my first darling of 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.720 this cycle. And that's a typical draft cycle rotation for me. 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.880 Fall for a player, watch one hundred more guys, kind 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.880 of forget about the first guy, and then you come 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.640 back to him. You always come back to your first love. 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.000 I dated my high school sweetheart a second time in college. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.840 Didn't work out at all, but you do it. But 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.000 I mean three hundred and thirty pounds, that quickness, the 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.800 love of the game. I just think that he's going 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.280 to be a star on the interior for somebody. And 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.920 this draft again fell in a very nice way for 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.800 multiple reasons. If you want a cornerback, Cooper dejan is there, 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.600 Nate Wiggins is there, and so is kool Aid. McKinstry 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.880 all there, Peyton Wilson, the top linebacker on PFF's board, 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.320 and then Brian Thomas, the receiver that I could be 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.880 indifferent on, and then Xavier Legga is there as well. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.880 So I think I'm gonna stay with a four man 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.400 shortlist board there because they come with to me a 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.160 significant gap over the rest of the field. So for 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:30.120 this exercise, Troy Fatanu, Johnny Newton, Byron Murphy, Jackson, Powers 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.640 Johnson are my four players on the short list of 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.600 guys that were there for the simulation. Let's do four 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.200 posterity sake one more simulation and see if it changes 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.960 it all. So Fatano did go off the board on 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.200 the second simulation, and yes, part of the infatuation with him, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.200 let me just say this first, I think he is 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.440 a franchise pillar left tackle. But part of the draw 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.000 is I see a lot of Laramie Tounzel there and 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.880 that he could come in while you still have Brandon Albert, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.440 to Ron Armstead and Austin Jackson on the right side 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.640 for that matter, and be a damn good left guard 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.159 while you wait for him to become your franchise left 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:07.839 tackle and kick out there seamlessly, smoothly and just become 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.040 the next layer may Tunzel. That's kind of where I 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.000 view Fatano's game. But because he did go off the 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.799 board and Brian Thomas goes way up at number fifteen, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.200 we get Newton, We get no Byron Murphy this time. 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.120 The corners are all here again. JPJ is there again, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.640 but so are JC Latham and Amarius Mims, which would 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.120 fall into the home run pick category for me. I 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.200 think Latham is right up there in terms of his upside, 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.720 and Amarius Mims is the biggest boomer Bus prospect in 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.760 the draft. So I can see how you wouldn't want 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.800 that if you're the Miami Dolphins. But I can also 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.360 see why it could be a great pick because you 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.360 could get a franchise stalwart at pick twenty one at 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.440 one of the premium spots in the national football So 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.279 that worked out perfectly. I love when your hypothesis provides 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.920 you the results you hope for, because hey, we're scientists here. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.520 We're all scientists, right, we have to be willing to 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.400 accept that it won't always you won't always get the 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.200 results you desire, but getting the desired result on your 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.520 hypothesis makes it so much better. So with that in mind, 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.320 and look like, maybe the list is longer, maybe it's 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.440 shorter for the Dolphins in terms of that pick at 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.160 twenty one, who the hell knows. But for my own 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.280 multiple month preparation of work, here back in the studio, 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.200 back here grinding, watching the tape at grinding the tape 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.160 on Twitter. That's Kyle. I come away from two simulations 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.760 where I have four players. I would leave the first 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.120 round thrilled about and quite frankly, if I include the corners, 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:25.960 it's more like six guys that I love. And when 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.360 that happens, you try to find your twenty twenty trade 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.479 from twenty six back to thirty, don't you. You just 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.760 don't take no Ignaggi this time. You can still get 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.240 one of those guys and recoup a mid round pick, 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.720 something I would love to see happen, just because I 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.760 love the talent in rounds three through four of this class. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.080 So let's take a look at some trade up and 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.520 trade back options that could exist for the Dolphins come 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.400 night one of the draft. First thing, a disclaimer, it 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.960 takes two to tangle, right baby, Oh shopping back dad? 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:58.240 You always see this, And look, if we're going to 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.280 address every take on Twitter, we're gonna be here all day. 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.240 But oh, I should have traded up or down from that, 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.400 they could have gotten three picks later. I used three 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.520 picks because it's hilarious, like, oh, you drafted him three 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.160 spots too high. Like those are criticisms you see from Twitter, GMS, right, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.320 but like, you can't just force a trade dog. This 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.160 is not Dwight forcing Andy to sign the title of 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.600 his ex Terra over. You need two consenting parties. You 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.080 can't just say sign it, sign it out now, and 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.320 Andy does it. And here's where it gets tough, Like 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.800 I think the quarterback is the one you always search for, 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.240 you know, the rights to get that move down package. 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.679 And we were lucky, the lucky ones in twenty twenty 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.560 one to be smack dab in the middle of quarterback 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:40.160 alley there between Trevor Lawrence is Zach Wilson and then 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.800 Trey Lance was the guy that the Niners came up 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.720 to get there ahead of Justin Fields and mac Jones. Right, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.880 So that was a prime spot to be to recoup 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.840 draft capital. But here the one guy I think that 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.240 makes any sense for anybody, and then maybe you don't 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.920 take him here. This is why I think he could 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.240 slide because once you get to that, like there's one 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.400 quarterback left that everybody kind of likes, but you know, 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.800 isn't willing to go all in on. They tend to slide. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:05.480 Whether it's Aaron Rodgers in two thousand and five, or shoot, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.600 who was with Jimmy Klausen was the guy that slid? 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.600 Who was the one last year? Somebody will Levis slid 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.840 last year? Right Like, once they get past that threshold 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.200 of the teams that suck in the top of the 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.720 first round, you kind of hit that loll where it's like, well, 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.360 we already have a quarterback and we can get you 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.880 later on because no one else can take the quarterback 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.160 here because they all have quarterbacks too. But here with 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.080 Pennix on the board and probably not coming off anytime soon, 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.520 right Like I said, Philly, Dallas, Green Bay coming up. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.720 But then there's Minnesota and Tampa Bay in that range 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.640 at twenty three and twenty six as well. But I 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.400 suspect that Minnesota does find a dance partner up higher 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.360 to get one of the top five quarterbacks. I don't 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.280 think you move that capital to go up and just 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:38.839 pick at twenty three and eleven. We'll see, but I 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.560 don't imagine that happens. I also don't imagine Tampa Bay 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.720 gives Baker Mayfield that contract, even though it's not like 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.559 the top of the line quarterbacks, which is such a 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.760 rare spot. You're like, hey, you're gonna be our starter, 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.559 but we don't think you're like a top twelve quarterback. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.959 It's kind of weird limbo. You're in there. But when 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.640 you get that contract up, do you then move up 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.360 for a quarterback? Probably not. They could take one, but 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.120 I doubt they leap a bunch of teams who already 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.800 have established quarterb to go get their guy. And then 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.760 it's Arizona with Kyler Murray, Buffalo with Josh Allen, Detroit 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.600 but Jerard Goff Baltimore, Lamar Jackson, San fran with Brock Purdy, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.760 and case with that freaking Patrick Mahomes guy. Like, show 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.680 me the quarterback needy team there? It doesn't exist. So 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.040 I think the most plausible route is going back into 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.880 round two because what you probably need from a non 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.520 quarterback standpoint is one of those top tackles or offensive 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.839 lineman right to drop to you, whether that's Graham barton 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.960 the top of your interior guys or whoever it might be, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.560 or if it's Latham or whoever might be. But then 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.520 are you passing that up? Like if JC Latham falls 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.360 to you, do you pass on that? I don't think 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.199 you do. I don't know, but go to any draft publication. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.599 In my own perception as well as offensive line is 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.200 going to be one of your top three needs going 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.000 into this draft, right, So if the team agrees with you, 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.680 then you'd think it's hard to believe that happens. And 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.640 then it's like, do you want Dude Newton or Murphy drop? Well? 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.480 I like both of them, and I think there's a 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.600 good case to be made to draft the defensive tackle, 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.880 and we don't think we have you know, we have Wilkins, 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.840 and the aggregate, we don't have wilkins replacement shot for shot. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.360 Then there's like a bunch of good cornerbacks. So who 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.640 is enticed to come up right here to somebody love 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.360 Jackson powers Johnson enough to come up I kind of 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.320 doubt that too. And then at the top of round two, 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.520 you figure all those teams are gonna get their quarterback 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.760 in the first round. The Panthers took theirs last year. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.040 Whoops the Patriots at thirty four. If they don't get 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.320 one in at number three, maybe they're a guy a 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.120 team that comes up here, but they probably don't trade 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.800 with you in that position. Thirty five Arizona they have theirs. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.960 Washington surely takes a quarterback at two, right, they're at 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.640 thirty six. Maybe then it's them coming up for receiver 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.040 to pair with Daniels may or mccarthur, whoever they take, 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.640 Chargers Titans. They're gonna go with Will Levis this year. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.000 I mean the Chargers should could maybe move off Justin 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.400 Herbert right because he's been disappointing. I kid, I kid, 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.640 but yeah, I just Carolina Washington again, Like, I just 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.200 don't think you're getting the quarterback takeer there so forecasting 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.080 who would be and for what beyond that is very 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.040 very tricky. Maybe Dallas wants to get up three spots 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.120 and jump Philly to get their Tyrone Smith replacement. Maybe 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.240 Arizona finds a player, a cornerback they like of the 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.400 Eagles pick because the Eagles need corner help that they 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.960 cover it. They have the draft capital to be aggressive 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.440 after the Will Anderson trade last year, So maybe that's 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.520 the spot that makes the most sense. All these cornerbacks 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.640 Arizona six spots behind put you in position to still 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.680 get the guy you want, probably and recoop what would 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.440 be a pick that's worth one hundred and twenty points 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.360 them to go from twenty seven to twenty one, and 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.760 using the very outdated Jimmy Johnson Draft trade value chart, 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.319 which is a kin to the this, it provides a 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.160 pick that is a kin to the ninety fifth pick, 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.440 a third round pick, and so Arizona happens to have 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.760 the ninetieth pick. So let's say you can recoup that 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.560 third round pick that you forfeited for in the tampering 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.160 nonsense stuff a while back. So that's what you get here. 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.960 And what's nice about the mock simulator is you can 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.760 force the opposing team to make the trade. Do it, 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.920 turn it, turn it right now. Pffs. Some of the 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.480 cardinals were not interested. I said, too damn bad, buddy, 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.000 learn you better learn trade a knees real quick. So 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.600 then I went twenty seven edge layout tow lot to 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.200 from UCLA. If that's the case, go ahead and mount 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.199 the statute today because getting him on a trade back 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.640 is ridiculous. And then pick fifty five. I did this 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.280 a few time, and this guy was always the pick 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.640 right here. Guard Christian Haynes from Yukon. I think he's 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.400 a plug employee star our day one. He's your rob 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.760 hunt of twenty twenty four, and then it picked ninety. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.480 You know, I'm gonna love this wide receiver Malachai Corley 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.280 Western Kentucky. I would be so happy with that draft 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.800 class right there. And then straight up options. I mean, 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.560 first you have to identify a player you love, right 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.680 you can't know who that is for any given team, 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.840 of course, So we look at mine, which is Troy Fatanu, 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.400 and so I look at another simulation. Seven offensive linemen 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.320 go in front of me, most notably Fatanu at fifteen 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.000 to the Colts, And that comes off the heels of 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.640 a really good potential tackle run there with the Saints, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.680 who lost Ramcheck for the entire season already, the Raiders 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.240 need to right tackle to pair of Colton Miller with 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.400 the other tackle spot. The Jets are at ten. Figure 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.600 to go offensive line or receiver. I think is pretty 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.640 obvious there the Jags. I mean, you can throw a 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.840 penny up the draft board, it probably lands on a 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.400 team that needs a tackle. But I like that fifteenth 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.640 spot with Indy because it gets you ahead of Jacksonville 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.960 Sincey and Pittsburgh, who all have o line and tackle 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.240 spots as their top needs. In the offseason, Seattle has 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.760 a guard at their top need as well. So that 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.439 cost to get up on the JJ draft chart is 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.280 two hundred and fifty points, which is probably next year's 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.800 natural third. And remember we figure to get two additional 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.720 third round picks in the comp formula next year. So 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.559 like I think that I affords you some aggressive You're 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.680 the opportunity to be aggresive if you want to. And 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.760 then that fifth round pick this year that makes up 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.640 the two hundred and fifty points, So next year's third, 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.480 this year's fifth round pick to go up and get 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.440 Troy Fatanu. Is it worth it? I think it is, 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.120 so I think either way you have lots and lots 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.320 of choices, and good ones too. Those extra projected COMP 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.960 picks afford you the opportunity to be aggressive, and depending 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.360 how the board falls, you could even stand to gain 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.880 more capital and get one more guy that you love. 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.120 Fun exercise, let's go ahead and take our first break 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.079 right there. Come back on the other side and get 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.360 to my guest and preview this wide receiver class with 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.640 the great Taylor Kyle's That's Next Draft Time podcast, your 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:54.360 host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. The 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.160 first of our draft position previews with my esteem guest, 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.880 my Rollodecks of Knowers as it were here on the 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.480 Draft Time podcast. We kick it off with the position 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.679 group that I cannot shut up about this entire draft process. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.320 The receivers. I love this year's class. I think that 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.520 there's a chance we see Miami go after that position 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.600 at some point in this draft. And to help us 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.640 go through it all and talk about these prospects from 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.800 Patriots CLNS formally of next year on stats, so you 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.320 know he's covered in the resume. There are Taylor, Kyle's Taylor. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:24.880 What's happening? 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:25.160 Man? 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.440 I'm so excited to be back on with you, buddy. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.640 Always love talking ball. I'm glad we get to talk 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:31.800 to receivers. Like you said, man, this is a fun 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.840 class loaded all throughout. You can get talent in every 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.080 single round. So yeah, man, I'm excited to really dive in. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.080 I was thinking to myself, like, let's go ahead and 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.720 get someone that knows some football and someone that covers 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.040 a team that probably will go after receivers. Who better 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.600 than Taylor because the Patriots right like it's gonna be 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.640 there's gonna be at least one receiver taken by the 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:50.280 Patriots this year. 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.800 I have to imagine I'm hoping they doubled dip Man 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.440 because free agency it didn't work out. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:55.920 They tried to get Calvin Ridley. 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.440 I don't think he was really dead set on joining 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.760 a team in New England with high tax is where 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.480 they don't even know who their quarterback is gonna be. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.760 So it's obvious that they do want to weaponize. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.680 I think that's a real priority, but it seems like 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.280 they're gonna have to do that through the draft because 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.960 this is a pretty significant rebuild for them, so probably 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:12.640 gonna be a double dip at least that we see 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.080 from them in the wide receiver department. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.040 Well that's a great way to start the podcast here, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:17.720 because I wanted to lead off by having you do 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.600 overtime work here. I didn't ask you to come on 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.320 Talk Patriots, but I'm gonna have you do it anyways, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.600 because you cover a team that we play twice a 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.320 year and have had good success against recently after a 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.880 twenty year run where it was not so successful. But 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.000 the Patriots, I think this year might be the pivot 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.800 point unless they just take the quarterback and maybe that 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.480 becomes different pivot point. But they could be the pivot 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.280 point in this year's draft at number three, and I'm curious, 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.840 quarterback receiver, what do you think is gonna happen at 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.280 that third pick? And then also what does GM Taylor 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.880 want to do with the third pick? 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.040 What I think is gonna happen? 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.040 Is I really in This may be a cop out, 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:53.960 but I think if they like the quarterbacks, if they 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.520 say Jayde Daniels and or Drake may is a franchise 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.680 caliber guy, I think they stay put. They've been very 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.840 vogue about the fact that they like this quarterback class, 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.560 they like the toughness and all. 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:04.280 The traits that they have. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.520 So I think if they're confiding those guys, they're going 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.640 to stay put and try to set this franchise in 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.680 a particular direction with, you know, a really talented player, 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.920 obviously top three type of talent. But if they aren't 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.480 convinced in one or both of these guys, if they're like, 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.280 I don't want to risk, you know, getting stuck with 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.120 the guy that we're not too sure about, I think 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.160 they take one of those Godfather halls and try to 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:27.080 really accumulate picks. Girod Mayo said during the Coaches breakfast 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.560 couple weeks back that you know, the best way to 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.480 do well in the draft is to accumulate more picks, 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.560 give yourself more shots. So I do legitimately think that 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.120 they're open to trading. If they do that, I'd like 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.680 to see them getting offensive tackle. I think we've seen 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.360 one Elliott Wolf at all of his stops. They've done 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.400 a really good job with the Browns and the Packers 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.720 of finding wide receiver talent in the middle the late 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.840 rounds of the draft. But tackle is that position. We're 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.040 past Day one. You're not getting many immediate contributors. Patriots 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.360 do have Chucsokoro four, who I think could play left 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.560 tackle for them. Solid starter, he's got experience, he's a 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.440 solid pass protector, some nastiness as a run blocker, but 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.199 not great. But again, that offensive tackle spot I think 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:05.720 you want to address early because the rest of the 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.040 guys are more developmental, although there is good depth. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:09.280 Now what I want them to. 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.560 Do, Drake May all the way, baby, I have been 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.440 driving that ship. I understand the bus potential is there. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:15.639 You know. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.560 I don't want to pretend it's, you know, guaranteed Pro 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.320 Bowl starter or anything like that, but the upside and 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.920 the number of times you see, even in spite of 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:26.280 some of his you know, poor footwork and sometimes he 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.080 doesn't really play on time consistently, he makes up for 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.280 it with arm talent, the athleticism and then just kind 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.119 of the natural feel that you'll see poke out of 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.920 his game here and there. So I'm really about Drake May. 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.439 I don't want them to trade out, even if it 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.040 is Jayden Daniels. I think he's super talented. But yeah, 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.080 if they like the quarterbacks, I think they're gonna stay put. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.080 But if they're not so sure, I think we could 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:46.280 see them probably trade out. 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.480
