00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: on on the football side, that's really the easiest part.

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: It's uh, all the other different events that we're trying

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: to pull together for the week. Um, that's really what's

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: the most challenging right now. And before the players even arrived,

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: before the Jets arriving in town, we've got the HBCU

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: combine that we're having down here in Mobile, hosting it

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: in conjunction with the National Football League. So um, and

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: they're coming in on their coming in on Friday and

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: gonna be working out on Saturday and then the Jets

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: and the players will arrive on Sunday. So yeah, we

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: are in full blown, uh execution mode right now. But

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's fun. We love we we love this

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: time of year. It's it's very exciting time. So can

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: you tell us about the selection process? How does this

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: senior ball go about selecting the staffs Because it is

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: the New York jetson Robert Sala heading up the national

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: squad like we talked about, and you got Dan Campbell

32
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: in the Detroit lines who are going to lead the

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: American team. Yeah, it's it's it's not us at all.

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a little bit of a misperception out there.

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: It's the NFL League office handles our coaching staffs. Very

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: grateful to them. It's it's been kind of a long

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: time partnership. H It's the one thing that's made our

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: game different than some of the other All Star games.

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: As we get the full coaching staffs. Um, so they

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: start with the draft order again you need to have

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: a full staff in place down here in Mobile to

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: coach the game. So that that took the Jags out

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: of the running. This year goes to Detroit. They said, yes, Um,

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Houston declined, and I think they were still in limbo

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: a little bit with their coaching situation at the time

46
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: when when the league reached out to them the Monday

47
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: after the season and then the so the Jets came

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: in and they got that that second spot. So that's

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: really how it is. It's uh, you know, it's one

50
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: of those mechanisms for parody which makes the NFL so great. Um,

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, I I keep bringing up whenever I do interviews,

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: Robert Sala's last job with the forty Niners. That staff

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: was down here three years ago. Um, you know, I

54
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: think they were picking second or fourth in the draft

55
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: that year. I can't remember which. Um, you know, they

56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: came and got Deebo Samuel In the next year, they're

57
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: in Miami for the UH for the Super Bowl. And

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: that's why Robert Salo was kind to the man behind

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: the T shirts in the in the in the locker room.

60
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: The next year, after the NFC Championship game, Mobile to

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Miami for the T shirts he had made up so

62
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: you can flip it quick. So it's a really smart

63
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: thing that he does, sending us those staffs picking at

64
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: the top of the draft order, and we're excited to

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: get Robert down here. He's uh, you know, he's a

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: guy that I worked with in Seattle. Our lockers were

67
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: right next to each other in Seattle for a couple

68
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: of years there, and uh, great coach man, great energy,

69
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: bring a lot of juice to our practices. So, um,

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: we're fired up to get the Jets down here. Jets

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: fans wanting next Devo Samuel. That would be something if

72
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: they get that kind of value in the second round

73
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: of two thousand and twenty two. What can you tell

74
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: us about your experiences with Robert? Like you said, Jim,

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: you're a long time we're a long time NFL scout,

76
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: almost twenty years, Uh, scouting yourself. Uh you want to

77
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl six times, four rings with three different teams.

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: But talking about your relationship with Robert and what you

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: saw from him in Seattle, Yeah, he was a great

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: fit in the building. Um, you know, just our culture

81
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: that we had in Seattle. And I'm I'm guessing he's

82
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: he's tried to implement something similar there in New York.

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: It was just it was it was a high energy

84
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: building and that started from the top down with with

85
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: coach Carroll and John Schneider r GM, and it kind

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: of filtered down, trickled down and and Rob. I just

87
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: remember Robert working with our backers, um, you know, and

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. Just which young, energetic,

89
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: smart coach. Um. You knew he was a guy. Uh,

90
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: you know, from a personnel standpoint, we're always looking for

91
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: guys that could end up in a higher chair, and

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: you always kind of felt Rob was gonna be that guy.

93
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: So then he you know, he goes down to San

94
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: Francisco and does great things as a coordinator. Um. And

95
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: now he's now he's in the next step. So again

96
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, he he's gonna be down here and more

97
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: of an advisory role. This year, we're kind of shifting

98
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: staffs around. That's something new that the League office came

99
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: to us over the summer with thought it was a

100
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: great idea. So he'll be appointing guys on his staff

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: into more leadership positions on the staff, and he's gonna

102
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: take a step back and be more of an advisory

103
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: advisory role. Um. But I know, just knowing Robert in

104
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: the the energy he brings, I'm sure he built the

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: staff of similar guys, and uh so we know they're

106
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna do a great job of our players. And that's

107
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: that's really what we care about most. These guys are

108
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna come down here and in their in their one

109
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: week in Mobile, they're gonna become better football players. Jim,

110
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: you talked about the fourty niners really using this as

111
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: a springboard a few years back. How advantageous is this

112
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: for the coaching staff to not only get these guys

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: on the practice field, but get them in a classroom

114
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: as well and see how they received the coaching on

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: the field and what their attitudes are like, how they

116
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: process things. It's a it's a big benefit, There's no

117
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Um. And again that's why it's smart

118
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: the league has it, you know, as it set up

119
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: the way they do, because you do, you have a

120
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: ton of takeaways. I think you're gonna ask anyone that's

121
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: worked in the NFL for for you know, any period

122
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: of time watching the tape and making the tape a

123
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: vail on the player. Is the easier part of the

124
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: equation when it comes to player assessment, I think the

125
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: hardest part is drilling down and figure out the person. Um. So, yeah,

126
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: all the takeaways, whether it be you know, having breakfast

127
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: with them every day, you know, lunch and dinner, all

128
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: three meals really, but you know, just having that time

129
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: with him, seeing them, seeing them in the hotel, interact

130
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: with their teammates. Um, you know, in the meeting room,

131
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: how do they learn? Um, how attentive are they? You know,

132
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: the things that really make a player. Um. You know,

133
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: guys that play in the NFL and stick in the NFL,

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: all those all those other intangible qualities these guys get

135
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: to see. So not only on the practice field. UM.

136
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: And that's great too. Those are great takeaways because they're

137
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: they're applying the coaching. They're applying what they learned in

138
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: the classroom. You know, they're taking instruction between reps and

139
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: so the coaches are seeing that stuff that maybe the

140
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: other teams can't see from the bleachers. Um. So no,

141
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: tons of great takeaways. I know the Jets will come

142
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: down here with their sleeves rolled up and ready to work,

143
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: and um, it's truly a beneficial week. There's no other

144
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: time during the process, whether that be combined or pro

145
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: days or thirty visits. I mean they't don't get other

146
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: exposures to these players, but never like this week. I

147
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: mean you're spending an entire seven day period with these players. Um,

148
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: basically you know, eighteen hours a day. Probably, So no,

149
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: they'll they'll learn these guys. Uh, they'll learn these guys inside. Now.

150
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: Jim Nagi is executive director of the Reese's Senior Bowl.

151
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Last year, a hundred and six players from the Senior

152
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: Bowl were drafted. You're talking about pent of the entire class,

153
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: so the people that Jets fans see on the TV,

154
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: not only in a national squad, but the American squad.

155
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: We're talking about pros. Yeah, yeah, now, that's that's a

156
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: number we're proud of. That was a record for us

157
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: last year. Or the hundred and six drafted. Uh, you know,

158
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: in the in the pre three three previous years since

159
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: we've been here. Um, of all the guys we have

160
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: invited over the previous three years, eight nine percent of

161
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: those guys have made rosters their first year's rookies maybe

162
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: not opening day, but at some point during the rookie year.

163
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Of those guys have been on an NFL roster, so

164
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: uh yeah, this is what they'll see. And you and

165
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: you brought up, uh you know the American side who

166
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be coached by the Detroit Lions. The Jet

167
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: staff is gonna have time with them as well. Um,

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's we have a team team swap is

169
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: what we kind of call it, and the coaches will

170
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: be able to spend time with those players. And you know,

171
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: just pulling it back a few years now in terms

172
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: of where that swap benefited a player and benefited a franchise,

173
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: was Dak Prescott was down here being coached I believe

174
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: that year by the Denver Broncos team they swapped out

175
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys and just in his limited time with

176
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in that one exposure. Really and this is

177
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: coming from Jerry Jones. I mean he's on the record

178
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: saying that they you know, they kind of they started

179
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: their you know, just kind of there they're liking for

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and their conviction in Dak Prescott as a

181
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: guy they wanted to be a cowboy here in Mobile

182
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: and it started that player swap time. So you know,

183
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: they did their due diligence through the rest of the process. Um,

184
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: but that really helped them in their evaluation a dock.

185
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: And I know that the Jet staff is gonna get this, uh,

186
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: this American side that Detroit's coaching for for a good

187
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: amount of time, so they're they're really gonna be exposed

188
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: to all players on the roster. That's really cool, that exposure.

189
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about the coaching staffs here

190
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: with the Jets and the lines. Can they request certain

191
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: players that they actually wanted to work with before you

192
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: assemble those final rosters? No, we we we have the

193
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: roster set before the before the teams are announced. We

194
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: have to do that and then basically, uh, you know

195
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: in the biggest thing the criteria is competitive balance. Right,

196
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: so there's three there's three pieces of criteria that that

197
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: we worked through in the office to try to build

198
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: these rosters. One is competitive balance. We do want them,

199
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: we want to even split. We want we want to

200
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: have a good game. We want the teams to have

201
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: the same level. Now, one position group on on the

202
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: American squad might be better than the one on the

203
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: National but in the end, in terms of the overall roster,

204
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: it should really shake itself out, even itself out. UM.

205
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, and then we we like to

206
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: have the SEC players on the American squad. Um. It's

207
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: important to you know, our regional fan base that comes

208
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: in here and really shows up on game day. UM,

209
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: to have those guys on the same team. And then

210
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: the last thing is we like to keep the teammates together.

211
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: We don't want Penn State fans, for instance, to come

212
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: down and and have you know, a few Penn State

213
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: guys on one side of the ball and a few

214
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: on the other. We want to we want them rooting

215
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: for that one team. So that's how it split. Uh,

216
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: the Detroit the the higher drafting team gets the selection

217
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: of the two rosters. UM. This year that was Detroit.

218
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: They picked that American side. Um. You know, we did

219
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: work through a couple of trade proposals. There was there

220
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: was there was one trade made. UM. I won't divulge

221
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: that because that's gonna reveal too much about about what

222
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: the two gms feel about maybe the rosters right now.

223
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: But there was one trade made. It gets really hard.

224
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: It's usually got to be like a one for one

225
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: or two for two trade. Were like, for instance, if

226
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: you tried to trade for a Georgia Bulldog this year.

227
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: That would have pulled about seven other guys on the

228
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: other team with him, So we stay with those. But yeah,

229
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: that's that's really how that process shakes down. We're gonna

230
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: have to ask Joe Douglas about that trade after the

231
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: draft because, like he said, he probably not gonna divulge

232
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: that information prior to the draft. Hey, how much do

233
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: you think running back Michael Carter and also Hamsa Nasril

234
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Dean improved their draft stock with good showings last year

235
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: down there in Mobile. Yeah, I really thought, um leaving Mobile,

236
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: Michael was gonna go in the second round. It surprised

237
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: me that he lasted to the fourth. Um, that's where

238
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: we had him great, and that's where most of the

239
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: buzz was, you know about Michael leaving the week um,

240
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: so usually on draft day there's you know, that was

241
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: an upset for us, Like we thought Michael was gonna

242
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: be at least today two guys, So that's when you

243
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: start calling around the league and trying to figure that out.

244
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: I think it's something medical with Michael. I think they

245
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: got Michael and a little bit of a draft day

246
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: discount because it's something that popped up in his medical

247
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: But no, he had a great week down here. He

248
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: had a great game. Uh. You know, the running back

249
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: position is a little bit of a incomplete evail. During

250
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: the practice week, we'll see those guys in the past

251
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: game quite a bit, whether that's uh, you know, out

252
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: of the backfield catching the football or or in pass

253
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: prom But we don't tackle to the ground. We really

254
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: discourage that. We want guys to you know, thought up

255
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: and wrap up. UM. But so the game is when

256
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: the linebacker group and the running back group can really

257
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: can really show out. And Michael did that last year.

258
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: I think he had seventy five yards and a touchdown

259
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: in the game. UM. And then Hams a you know,

260
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: he's a guy that we had a much higher grade

261
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: on as well. Uh. Just done is based on his

262
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: pure talent. You know, we thought we thought Hams it

263
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: would be a third round pick. UM. So for him

264
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: to go so late, I think you saw him on

265
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: the field this year probably where he should have been drafted.

266
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: But again, Hamson was dealing with some injury stuff. He

267
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: had a really incomplete year. Is a senior there at

268
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: Florida State, missed a lot of time. UM. And so

269
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: so that probably held him back on draft day, but

270
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: I think Jets fans saw what what hams Is future

271
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: could be this year as a rookie getting in there

272
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: and and and playing a playing a pretty pretty key

273
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: role for them. Um. So, yeah, they both had good

274
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: weeks down here, and again I think the Jets got

275
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: both those players on a discount. Win bet is not

Speaker 1: d seven zero seven one one seven, I'd love to

290
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: ask you about the hundred plus players who are going

291
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: to be participating throughout the week, and I know our

292
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: fans would as well. But how about some quick snapshots

293
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: of a couple of these positional groups. Let's start with

294
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: the linebackers. We're just talking about Nasril Dean, the Jets

295
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff is going to lead a group that includes

296
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: Utah's Devin Lloyd. Yeah, it's a it's a good group.

297
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: We really like the linebacker group on both sides. Um,

298
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: trying to think off the top of my head right now,

299
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm staring at our draft board has kind on the

300
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: other side of the screen right now. I'm kind of

301
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: looking at it, Um, but I don't have I don't

302
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: have broken down to American and National. I'm just trying

303
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: to think of the guys that would that would be

304
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: on that team. A lot of different skill sets, you know.

305
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: I think they'll be working with Chad MoMA from Wyoming,

306
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: who I think is a really good player. I think

307
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: we've seen in the playoffs this year with Logan Wilson

308
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: what he's done for Cincinnati, had that big pick the

309
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: other day in the UH Divisional round, and and you know,

310
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: Chad's the next one in line. You know, Um, Logan

311
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: was the third round pick. I think Chad's got a

312
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: chance to be a second round pick. Uh. You know,

313
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: Darien Beavers from Cincinnati is a guy that has a

314
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: lot of versatility. He's a big man. He's played on

315
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, he's played off the ball um.

316
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: So they've got a number of players. Devin Lloyd another one.

317
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Devin had a great year Buckets Award finalist,

318
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: real long athletic um made a ton of place for

319
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: that Utah defense. So they've got if if linebackers a need,

320
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the Jets field that are not,

321
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: but if they do that, to me, that's one of

322
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: our stronger position groups, both on that side end on

323
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: the lines team. Yeah, I figured I just ask you

324
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: about the backers because we were talking about Nasrel Dean

325
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: making that transition from safety to linebacker last year. The

326
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Jets very high on a pair of youngsters here in

327
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Nasrel Dean and Jamie Sherwood. Of course, how about the

328
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: tight end position. There definitely is an area in need

329
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: there for the Jets, and this staff is going to

330
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: work with perhaps the best tight end in the country

331
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: in Trey McBride. Yeah, it's a really it's it's the

332
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: best tight end class. I can just speak to the

333
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: last four years the Senior Bowl. Uh, it's our best class.

334
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: We we struggle some years to get to six draft

335
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: able tight ends. The goal of this game every year

336
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: is to get every player drafted that that obviously doesn't

337
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: happen that way. Um, but going in, I mean we

338
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: we want to We want to take guys that are

339
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna gonna gonna be drafted this year. You know, six

340
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: is usually tough. This year, we we could have easily

341
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: gotten to twelve. Um, we invited nine. We went above

342
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: the number we usually get to trade mcgrid. McBride's a

343
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: great one. I think it's a great it's a great

344
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: class depth wise. But I think Trades the one guy

345
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: that could end up going in the first round. I

346
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: think he's a He's a Day one starter in the league.

347
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: And I don't say that throw that out there lightly.

348
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: I think he's got that kind of talent um. You

349
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: know we saw already did in the past game. He

350
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: was Colorado State's entire offense this year. Uh, you know

351
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: there was a game this year where he had a

352
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: hundred and nine of his teams a hundred ten past

353
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: receiving yards. Um, and he can block you. He's a

354
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: he's a do it all tight end, really talented guy.

355
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: They'll be working with him. Um. They'll also have Jeremy

356
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Rutckard from Ohio State, who I think will ended being

357
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: a better pro than he was a college player. There

358
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: was just you know, there's just so many balls to

359
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: go around in Columbus, Ohio. So Um, I think Jeremy

360
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Abila showcase what he can do in the past game

361
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: down here in Mobile, which he maybe didn't get a

362
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: full chance to do in Columbus. Um. You know Charlie

363
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Cohler from Iowa State and another guy um that that's

364
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: a big y tight end, a guy that you know

365
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: can can put his end in the dirt and block people.

366
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: Every team is looking for of that guy. Those are

367
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: really Those guys are harder to find than the guys

368
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: that can run, run routes and catch Paul. So Um,

369
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: it's a deep group. I know. I know the Jets

370
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: are fired up about that group that they have. UM

371
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: and if that's a need they could they could certainly

372
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: address that coming automobile here. Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned

373
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: Rucker because not only the attend Ohio State. He's a

374
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: Long Island kid who grew up a Jets fans, so

375
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people will be monitoring his progress throughout

376
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: the week. How about the wide receiver position. I think

377
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: every year year we think in terms of depth. I

378
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: don't think any different this year, right, and Jahad johan

379
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: Dotson from Penn State was so productive for the Nickney Lions.

380
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: He's one of the guys in the top of the list. Yeah.

381
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: That again, that's a group that we we feel really

382
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: good about over the last three or four years. I mean,

383
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: you look back, you know the Deebo, Samuel's, the Cooper Cops, Um,

384
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman Jr. Van Jefferson, There's Brandon Auk. I mean,

385
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: there's been a Terry McLaurin. There's been some really good

386
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: receivers come out of here that you know, UM over

387
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: the last three, four or five years. And in this

388
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: year's class no different. I think that. I think the

389
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: name of keep an eye and in your backyard is

390
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: Bow Mountain Um from Rutgers. You know, the thing that

391
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: really attracted us to Bow is his his competitiveness. I'm

392
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: not saying he's debo at all. I hate even talking

393
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: to like. This isn't a player comparison to Debo, But

394
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: what you love about Debo was his aggressive style, Um,

395
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: his play strength, you know, just kind of his run

396
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: skills with the ball. I think bow Meltain has some

397
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: of that, you know, just trying to bring it back

398
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: home to your backyard. I think that he's the guy

399
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: that Jets are gonna be working with that. Uh, you know,

400
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: we certainly liked here in our building. And then another guy,

401
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce just throw out another name from Cincinnati, was

402
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: a big difference maker for the for the Bearcats this year,

403
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: really had a breakout year. He's a guy that you know,

404
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: had battled some stuff, some injury stuff, and became a

405
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: real down the field threat for for Cincinnati this year.

406
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: Those are two good ones that Jets will have. I'm

407
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: got a couple of headliners in the trenches bosses. Leuston

408
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: College is a real interesting prospect. Zion Johnson, uh transfer

409
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: from I believe Davidson actually and then Northern I was

410
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: Trevor Penny. That's a name to watch. Yeah, two immediate starters. Um,

411
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: I think Zion's the best guard this year's draft class.

412
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: And I like a lot of them I think it's

413
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: a pretty good interior line class. But Zion's science one

414
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: of the best stories. You said, Davidson transfer. Um, that's

415
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: a pioneer league. It's FCS non scholarship football, and he

416
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: spends a couple of years there. He bets on himself,

417
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: which I love. Goes up to Boston College, which is

418
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, they crank out great lineman every year. It's

419
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: it's one of the best offensive line producing schools in

420
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: the country. And uh, you know, we've had guys that

421
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: Chris Lidstrom in the game over the years, I mean,

422
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: some really really good ones. Uh. And Zion goes up

423
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: there in place great. Um got in there right away

424
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: as the first year players started. They moved into tackle

425
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: last year at left tackle. UM, and I was back

426
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: at guard this year. But I think Zion safely a

427
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: a top fifty pick. I think he could end up

428
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: be in a first round pick immediate order on the

429
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: inside that you guys could match with Bara Tucker and

430
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: then Trevor Penning. Um. I'm really curious to see how

431
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: Hi Trevor can go. He's a dominant player at the

432
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: FCS level in Northern Iowa, and if he can come

433
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: down here and block other NFL people. Which is gonna

434
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: have to do? I think I think the sky's the

435
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: limit where Trevor could end up by the time we

436
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: get to April. Yeah, he could be an early first

437
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: round pick. Once we get to April, could be in

438
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: the top half of the first round. We'll have to

439
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: see what happens there. I wanted to ask you about

440
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. The Jets their set a quarterback. They're gonna

441
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: be investing, continuing to invest in front of Zack Wilson,

442
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: around Zack Wilson. We know that, Um, but the draft

443
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: is typically dictated by the quarterback. Domino's what about the

444
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: group in Mobile Kenny pick It from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati's Desmond Ritter,

445
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: Malik Willis from Liberty of course North Carolina Sam Hall,

446
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: and then you also have Nevada's Carson Strong. What do

447
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: you think about this group? An opportunity at hand for

448
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah, it's it's a great group, you know,

449
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: especially in the chair that I'm in right now. It's

450
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: a great group because there's a lot of intrigue around

451
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: that group. Um, the five guys you mentioned, there's five

452
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: guys in this group that are getting first round grades

453
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: across the league, you know, depending on what team we

454
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: talked to. But the great thing is, like there's no

455
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: order to those five, you know, and again they're they're

456
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: probably right now in that mid one to mid two range,

457
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: depending on what team you talked to. Um, but the

458
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: stack is completely different. You could pull ten teams and

459
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: you have might have ten different answers and how those

460
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: guys you know, shipped down for those teams. So I

461
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: think by the time we get to April where that

462
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: ends up will greatly be determined. By this week, Um,

463
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: this is the last real football these guys will play. Yes,

464
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: they'll have the combine, Yes, the left pro days. Um,

465
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: this is real football. You know. They've got to learn

466
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: a playbook. They gotta go out and execute that playbook.

467
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: They gotta galvanize a group of new teammates around them

468
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: so to show up their leadership, which you got like

469
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert showed a couple of years ago in the

470
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: game and really one team's over. Um. So so yeah,

471
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: there's this is to be a great week for those

472
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: guys and throwing one after the other. The teams will

473
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: see like one guy after the other taking these reps,

474
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: which will be great. You know, usually this game has

475
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: two or three guys in that first or second round

476
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: mix a year, and now we have five. So um

477
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: and Bailey's happy. Are six guys are really good player

478
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: in his own right. You know, broke some of Joe

479
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: Burrows single season records this year at Western Kentucky. Um,

480
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: what Joe did a couple of years ago at l

481
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: s U. So, I mean he's a good player. I

482
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: think I think I think Bailey could be a third

483
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: or fourth round pick uh as well, and has a

484
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: chance to play in that league a long time. So

485
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: we're fired up about this quarterback group. Um, as you

486
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: know in the media and the media side like that

487
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: kind of drives the bus through the process. So, um,

488
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: we'll be talking about We'll be talking about these guys

489
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: until all the time. Will we get to April? Jim,

490
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: what do you think about the Jets draft capitol. You're

491
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: sitting there with the number four overall selection, the number

492
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: ten overall selection, four picks in the top thirty eight,

493
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: nine overall, a lot of assets heading into April, and

494
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas says, a lot of flexibility. As you know,

495
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: this draft class better than anybody. Uh. The draft does

496
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: start mobile. It says it on the Reese's Senior Bowl website. Um,

497
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: what do you think about the jets potential hall here? Oh,

498
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: I think it's great for Joe because you said the

499
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: word flexibility. It gives him a lot of ammunition. He

500
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: basically the drafts at his at his feet like he

501
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: can do. He can move up, he can move down

502
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: depending on where they see different value spots. Um, they

503
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: have a lot of different needs to address. Or I mean,

504
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: let's be real, I mean they wouldn't be picking up

505
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: that high if they didn't have needs. So um, again,

506
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: it's what every GM probably wants. He's He's got a

507
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: lot of maneuver ability around. UM. So it'll be interesting

508
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: to see how aggressive Joe is or um, you know,

509
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: if they see value late. You know, I've worked for

510
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: teams and when when I was with the Seahawks, you know,

511
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: we we barely ever trade to draft in the first round.

512
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: We traded back a bunch um, you know, because a lot,

513
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of evaluators feel like the

514
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: sweet spot and a lot of drafts is day two.

515
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: You you know, a lot of starter level players in

516
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: the first and during the second and third rounds. Um,

517
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how Joe at taxes. Yeah,

518
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: and finally, just wanted to get your thoughts on the

519
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: staff led by Joe Douglas. Of course Rex Hogan assistant

520
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: GM Phil Savage, who sat in that position where you're

521
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: at right now. I know you guys are tight. Of course,

522
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: the John Carr and Company. Yeah, it's a it's a

523
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: great staff. Jo'll put together a great veteran group of guys.

524
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: I've known Rex. Rex and I got into the league

525
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: together about the same time, and we've been friends for

526
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: a long long time. Um, he's great at what he does.

527
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: You know, he's been rumored to get some GM interviews

528
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: over the years. He deserves that. I think he'll he'll

529
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: be he'll get one of those jobs someday. Yeah, Phil Savage. UM,

Speaker 1: leaned on Phil and he's been great since I'm taking

533
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: this role. He even when I was making that early

534
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: transition into this role four years ago, he helped me

535
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: out quite a bit, give me a heads up on things.

536
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: And you know Phil, Phil's been at GM and you

537
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: don't get there without having a great reputation around the

538
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: league as an evaluator. Um what he did in Baltimore

539

576
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: number two overall selection in the draft, number fourteen, Joe

577

Speaker 1: Douglas traded up to get Elijah Vera Tucker, and the

578
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: list goes on and on when you're thinking about that

579
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: draft class on both sides of the ball. Elijah More

00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: five touchdown five touchdowns in eleven games his rookie season.

581
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: Michael Carter, who excelled down there Mobile Alabama, led the

582
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: Jets in rushing last season. Hans and Nosrel Dean was

583
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,800

584
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: The Jets also got Jamie Sherwood in the draft, Brandon

585
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Knuckles of course as well, and they look to have

586
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: a nickel corner who's gonna excel there for a long time.

587
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: And Michael Carter the second. So it was a great

588
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: haul for Joe Douglas. In two thousand twenty one and

589
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty two, UH the Jets nine picks, two

590

593
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: forty since nineteen seventy. If they indeed stay there, the

594
