WEBVTT - Final Mock Draft.mp3

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Your tunes about Drive on your seven home of the

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to the Drive.

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm Dale Wally here with me Williamson and Matt It

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>is time for our final mock draft, last one. We've

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>done about fifty of these. We've taken you through all

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the little variances and everything that could happen. How our

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>our minds have changed on guys over. I mean we've evolved.

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>We have evolved over the course of this draft. Early

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>on we would not have taken a running back in

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the first round. Then we realized that there's only three

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and if you don't take them in the first round,

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you might get shut out. Uh. So that's the way

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>things of a volt here. We know that, you know,

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>we know the positions that are deep, we know the

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>ones that are thine set plan as all teams do

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>at this point, like, well, I can probably get a

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>linebacker here. I can probably get this here. And it

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean it works that way. To change, you gotta

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>be able the ziggen zag as needed. Uh And for

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>our draft, that's what's going to have to happen here

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>because our pick is up at twenty four. Reason the

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Focus macwock draft here and I went completely

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>public on this. I'm not using their rankings at all.

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And the trades on this one. Yes, Nausea Harris is

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>not available. It's gone now, it's decision time. So the

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:17.079
<v Speaker 1>top guys available Trayvon Murig no no, Rashad Bateman, Greg Green,

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Newsom remember possibly Elijah Moore, No, Jason Noah, No, uh

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Sante Samuel Azizolari, Tevin Jenkins, Dylan Raddin's um Zaven Collins, Collins,

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Jamie Davis, uh Landon Dickerson is there. We have two

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 1>trade back offers here. Both other running backs are available though,

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 1>um yeah, A t n and Javante Williams are both available.

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>So our trade offers are to move back with the Packers.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>That's a neighborhood I'd like to be and I don't

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>want to go too far. I'm a little you know,

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm trade back dude, but with one back off the board,

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a little crazy. But we know that the Ravens

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>have to Cleveland and Baltimore both have picks before. Yes,

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a really good chance Baltimore trades back.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>The Buffalo is still behind us, Tampa. Tampa is still

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>behind us. Miami and the Jets have a lot of picks.

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:15.679
<v Speaker 1>If they want to come up for a back, they'll

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>already have two guys in the hopper. Jacksonville's got a

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of m O. The Bills are the team, the

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>other team that wants to trade with us. So it's

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:28.679
<v Speaker 1>it's Green Bay and Buffalo that's twenty nine and thirty.

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Who's given us more other stuff? Well, let's see here

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>on the green Bay's trade up for back Buffalo might be.

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>So if we go twenty obviously, and we get sixty

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>two from Buffalo, it's a wonderful neighborhood dad and extra pick.

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I love that idea. Let's see if they

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>will do that. I am worried that AEN goes. I'm

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna toss into fifty four. And if a t N goes,

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>are fine, I'll take Javante Williams a twenty nine and

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>be really happy. I'd be fine with that too, as

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>long as all of a sudden he can offer the

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>trade and they declined they don't want to give up

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>sixty two. Okay, Well how about I thought they offered

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that to us. No, we have to have they they're

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 1>on the phone what we'll take. What we'll take here. Um,

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>so sixty two needs to be involved. How about ninety two,

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>nine and ninety two and the future four? We can

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>try that in the first round. We're keeping it. I

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>threw in two fifty four. They're just because. Uh, and

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if we can get Buffaloes fourth round pick

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>next year. I'm a green Bay. I'm sorry green Bay.

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 1>They didn't like that. Wow, how about next year's fifth then?

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's about my best I can do for

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you though that they accepted, So we gave up twenty

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 1>nine or we give up twenty four and two fifty four?

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>Great for two and next year's fifth round pick for

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>green Bay is lovely. Yeah, that's that fifth round pick

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>for next year. That's kind of the going rate for

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>word to quire. You want to trade for somebody, a

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>veteran guy during the season, that's the that's the that's

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the monetary value that Now you can do that yet

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>an extra one all right, so you already you're gonna

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.559
<v Speaker 1>an extra fifth and yeah to alright, we're back up again.

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>The green Bay moved up to take moig good. Uh.

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville then took a t n Wow. I think that's possible.

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland took Zavan Collins mhm. Rashad Bateman goes to Baltimore.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Samuel caused me to the Saints. Okay, and we're on

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the clock. We just gotta take Williams and be happy

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>about it. Go who and we've got an extra ninety

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 1>second pick, which is that area that we've wanted to

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>move into? You know my roomie theory. If I'm Jacksonville,

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind bringing a t N in with Lawrence

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>on and off the field. No, that makes sense. Yeah,

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely so, Javonte Williams is our pick. We're good now,

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>we're just moving. We said we got fifty seven two here,

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>so we four tops by making we got it back.

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>We like good alright, So we're back up again here

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 1>at fifty five. We have no trade offers this time.

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It's interestingly enough. That's fine. I don't know if we

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>want to make any more trades of this. I think

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 1>we got what we wanted out of it, and if

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.359
<v Speaker 1>we don't make another deal, I'm cool with that. So

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>the top guys available, how about this one? Elijah Moore,

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Wow Walker, Little Dylan Raddin's Elijah Molden, Jamon Davis. Davis

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>would be wonderful. Landon Dickerson, Okay, Uh, Jabriel Cox, I

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.839
<v Speaker 1>think to stake David Richie Grant, Javon holland Quinn Miners.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I like both those centers a lot more is probably

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>my favorite guy. But I don't think the deals can

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>take a second round. I don't think they've done that enough. Um,

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>let's just take a look and see who all is still.

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>So the top three centers are all still available, as

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>is Kendrick Green. I'm thinking Jamie Davis, I think you

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.039
<v Speaker 1>have to. Yeah, I think you have to. And you

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you you, thank you, you're lucky stars. If that happens

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>that way, that'd be wonderful. Yeah. Um, and you hope

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 1>that you know you got thirty picks between now and

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven. There's four centers still, actually five if you

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>count Yers. Yeah right, I mean those Green and Myers,

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys consolation prizes Davis here and second thing.

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's the pick. Yeah alright, Harpe. Yeah, we're cruising

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>down along here, and we're getting back up on the

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>clock here and we're back up again. Matt Matt, Matt.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Top guys available. Elijah Molden. Wow, you would be nice

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>with those two. It's your real Cox Jamar Johnson and

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Darius Washington, Kelvin Joseph, Kendrick Green. So the centers have gone,

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the three yere gone, the top three are gone. Yeah,

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>um man, I wish we did more on the offensive line,

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>but I've done a moment. We've got another pick coming

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 1>up at ninety two. Yeah, so we got eighty seven

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>and ninety two here. Let me run this strategy by Okay.

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I've done this once or twice with Max late Lead

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>where I wanted to take Day two lineman, offensive lineman

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>and it just didn't jive. And I think this is

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the same similar case where if we take Molden here,

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you draft like three offensive linemen. I think

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you take the quality or easily the best player available

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and he fits in need. I mean, your your defense

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is in really good shape with these two draft picks

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and the rest of the way, I'm taking an extra

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman. I mean I'm taking maybe two tackles in

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the center here. Yeah, I mean I know that doesn't

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>add well. I mean we got to pick a pick

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>at ninety two here again, so if we get we

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>take Elijah Molden here. One are the chances that Kendrick

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Green goes between here and I just think you take

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Molden because he's the besition he should be. He should

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>be in the second round. We're in the third round.

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>You take now, I think we have to change our

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>strategy that we don't necessarily. I don't know we could

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.439
<v Speaker 1>afford to take our highest graded player again. Well, we

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>filled the running back need, we filled the inside linebacker,

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and we'll have slot corner. So I'm drafting line like

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>crazy now, and with the strategy of I want an

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 1>offensive line that doesn't stink. You know that. That's a

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>logical way of looking at it nowadays is just don't

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>be horrible on the offensive line. Don't have huge holes.

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>So if we bring in three rookies and only one

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>of them hits, let alone two of them have nice careers. Okay,

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>look where you got dots in last year? Yeah, fourth round,

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's the kind of guy that I'm looking for.

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>But I want to bring in three of them, alright,

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>So Molden is an easy pick here. Yeah, just like

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>David all day long, if if if the drafts gonna

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>take give you gifts, you take them. So the picts

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>right after that, Chess s Ratt, Pete Werner. I mean,

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>it's great for us because you have a linebacker, but

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a nice neighborhood to have picked those guys, if

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Ben Cleveland, Marvin Wilson. So if we would have passed

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>on taking jam and Davis in the second round, we

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>could have taken one of the centers. I don't know that.

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that. Yeah, I mean that wouldn't be

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>so bad because then we could go cornerback later and

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>still get I don't know they're gonna be a good

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>streak Molden and the third, our second pick would probably

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>be minors or Dickerson, and we end up with Werner

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.559
<v Speaker 1>and the fourth. Okay, so now we almost have to

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>take an offensive lineman. Yes, so you got Kendrick Green,

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you got Drew Dolman, you got Josh Meyers. Uh is

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the center guys, Jack Anderson Cola. I think Doman's a

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>really good prospect. I'm not sure he's the Steelers. Um.

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that he's moving. I mean he's I

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>think he's more of his own blocking finesse nine names.

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Guy Brady Christensen is still available. Stone Horsyth is still available, horses,

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting. Robert Haines, he still available. I think he

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>might be a center. But is Roville by the way, Yeah,

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I think so. Yeah, and then he went to the

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>i MG Academy. Jante Brown, David Moore, James Hudson, Brendan James,

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Spencer Brown. I think you'd take the best center available here.

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>There are tackles available that you might be able to

0:10:55.160 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 1>get their centers. I like too. I like Kendrick Green

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I think he's scream stealer hopefully. Spencer Brown

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>to me is interesting. He is, and maybe we can

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>squeeze one of those guys out and in there up

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>again here, So I'm still only looking at a lineman.

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.959
<v Speaker 1>Now we now we take a look at the offensive tackles.

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 1>They weren't touched. Um well, I'm sorry I'm wrong about that,

0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>because uh, Spencer Brown was taking two picks ahead of

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>our pick. He was the one that kind of stood out.

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Is project stealer Upside? Christiansen is still available, Okay, Stone

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Foresight still available. I prefer Forsyth to the Steelers. Robert

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Haines he still available. I think Haynes he's an inside guy.

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Deante Smith still available, Jay Len Moore available, Uh, Tommy

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Doyle out of Miami, Ohio. Um, there's still some guys.

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Josh Ball still available, and he's probably more of a

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>late See. I think if you get if you take

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Forsyth here, I think you don't have to take a

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>bunch of offensive one because you know, I think you

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>got two on your list. Yeah, foreslightly, we might pick two. Yeah,

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.199
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the guy to take. If if the

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>team we're picking Ford needed a guy to play right now,

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably taking Christensen, right. I agree. I think Foresight,

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>but that that that depends on Okay, what are you

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>looking for here? Are you looking for somebody who can

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 1>compete for a starting job this year? Then you take

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Christiansen and that, or do you take Foresight here and

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 1>you're you're happy with you two guys that you have.

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you take Foresight and has in the match. Yeah,

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Foresights to pick. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I'm not

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not done with Lineman now. I'm just telling you

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I might take a six round turner, you know what

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean. And he's still there. He might be my

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>starting center. We're back up again at one forty. We

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.839
<v Speaker 1>haven't addressed edge. No, that's true. We haven't addressed what

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty much, we've addressed that. Getting that extra pick helps.

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's awesome. We could take a look at the

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>tight end position here. Uh, Tommy Trembill still available. I

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>don't see that happening on either. That's cheating, I think,

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, all right, Uh yeah, I don't think that's

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.719
<v Speaker 1>the end of the fourth round. He's gone. I'm not

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna last long tight ends go. There's only five of them. Uh,

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:18.079
<v Speaker 1>the edge guys still available? Are you're looking at for

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>one of those type of guys or Jonathan Cooper, Shaka,

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Tony Kane, Doo, Koons, Gholston, Genarius Robinson, Charles Snowdon, Ernest Brown,

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Jones, to Ron Johnson, Raymond Johnson, Koons and Coon

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>stands out there to me? Yeah, me too. There was

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 1>another one, Um Goldson. They're a little bit different. Yeah,

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I think I prefer Coons. Tony stands out there as well,

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.320
<v Speaker 1>but I'd rather have something with a little worse sand

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>in his pants to He's a little light for what

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>we're asking him to do. Umkon's the pick. Yeah, Coon's

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>is the pick. Now I'm gonna push another another offensive lineman,

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm still gonna be thinking about here. Bring a

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>lot on the campus Sat though too. That's not horrible.

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Although Molten can play some safety for you know, need be.

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if there's an outside corner with upside, i'd

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>consider that. All right, we're back up at two sixteen

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>top guys available. We can go any direction we want

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to go. Here, we've filled the needs. You know, top guys.

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Bill Jamar Johnson, he always falls. The safety is still

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>there from Indiana. I feel like that's cheating too. Yeah,

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it is. I think it is. Kate Johnson.

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a really good player again. Another bigger slot, Bobby

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Brown out of Texas A and M. I like Bobby Brown. Yeah,

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>it's your prerogative if you want to take him. Um

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Khalil Herbert. If we didn't have Williams or if this

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>was a later pick, maybe I like Herbert. Trey Brown

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>is still available. I don't think we take two slots. Yeah,

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't. We can kill me, you know though, I

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>get it. But then if your sluck gets hurt, then

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden you're back to moving Cam Sutton

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>into the I know, you know, Okay, I mean, I

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 1>just think Bobby Brown over him with ye. You know

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Chris Evans. I love Chris Evans, but I'd rather I'd

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>rather go a big guy. Justin Hilliard. He's not from me.

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Chris Carter loves him. He's a two eight pounded linebacker

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 1>that ran four eight. He's Robert s What do you

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>need another Robert Speleen. You've got, You've got Robert Spline.

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there's a lot of things that really,

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's a good player. Here's an interesting one.

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>David Moore at Grambling. Yeah he is. You could have

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good mashing line, you know, um and you'd

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>be happy to add. Well, here's the pick. I don't

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 1>have to read him. Derek Barnes is still available. Yeah,

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>but he took Jamie Davis. I don't care. I mean,

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he he's just a good football player. Yeah, I'm not

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 1>doing cart wheels over and with what we have compared

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to you, he would. He would be your special teams demon.

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.479
<v Speaker 1>You can play him inside, you can play him outside.

0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>If Koons doesn't hit, If Coon's isn't ready to play,

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 1>here's your guy. You know, maybe you could do I

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>mean put it this way, if if Coon's in Barnes

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 1>or your top outside linebackers next year, your just your

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>top backups. Okay, you're gonna keep four or five anyway

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna keep. You're gonna keep at least nine, maybe

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>ten linebackers. I mean it's great to have that. Arthur

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Moates did this or Kimmin's. I mean it's nice, you know,

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Chad Brown. It's nice to have someone that can do

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>both and they're not easy to find. My question with this, dude, Barnes,

0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>is he a good enough pass rusher? I mean, would

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>they have moved him from edge if he was a

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>demon because he was good? Two years ago? Pursuit of

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>brought up the fact that nobody's ever throwing the ball

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>against Purdue because they're always ahead. Okay, yeah, I guess

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>that makes sense. So you can make tackles again, your

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>best player, we can do put your put your best

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 1>player where he can stop the well, yeah, a lot

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>better than yeah. I mean he has seven sacks last

0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you're playing or two years ago playing at Perdue when

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 1>nobody has to throw the ball against no, I hear you.

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I knew it was productive, but is he a good

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>enough pass rusher to be an outside linebacker in this

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>scheme in a pinch or is it? Can you do both?

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine with it. I guess really helps special teams.

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm just looking here at the other guy. I just

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 1>think that he's I would prefer Bobby Brown. I might

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 1>take an offensive lineman. We got two picks left. We

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>got this one and we got two five. I can

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>run you through the offensive lineman still left, you get

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Brendan James. It's hamas ms Okay, I'm still saying that wrong.

0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>But it's not James. Okay, Okay, Thomas Larry Borham. But

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Cole Van Lanning, I'm not even sure that is. He's

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 1>from Wisconsin, William William Sherman, Robert Jones from middles Tennessee.

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 1>These are the tackles, Carson Green, Dan Moore, John Ball. Yeah,

0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>nobody there's making me super the interior guys, and I

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know that we need because Green can play set

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 1>garter center for you ifinn he does both. He got

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>David Moore there. Still that's good. Drew Dalman true center,

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:14.879
<v Speaker 1>though Michael Manet true center, said Darius Hutchinson from South Carolina.

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Morrison over those guys mine with that cornerbacks. You

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think Bobby Brown would be a nice edition though,

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:29.119
<v Speaker 1>as I don't, I'm not. I'm not in the market

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to take any the de tackles from the worst D

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>tackle class in the history of D tackle classes. I mean,

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>if he was any good, he would already be gone.

0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:41.679
<v Speaker 1>We're in the sixth round. Und. I mean in a

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.640
<v Speaker 1>in a soft defensive tackle class. I just don't think

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.679
<v Speaker 1>he's developmental guy that could be a Steeler like new Nos.

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't love him, but I mean he's got heavy hands,

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 1>long arms. Um, I'm fine with the linebacker special teams coach,

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 1>We're happy about it. Coach Smith will say, the corners

0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you got Brown, Wild Goose, Elijah Griffin, shak Here Brown again.

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:04.400
<v Speaker 1>A lot of slots. Mark Gilbert from Duke Antonio, Phillips

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 1>from Ball State, Jason Pinnock from pitt He's kind of interesting. Um.

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Nashan Right from Oregon State. Darren Hall from San Diego State,

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>He's kind interesting. Chris Wilcox from b y U. Brian

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Mills from North Carolina Central. Um, I think you can

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.320
<v Speaker 1>convince me that the Purdue dude is the best player

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.479
<v Speaker 1>on the board. I think I just love him as

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>a player. I think he's Williams would be a Steeler

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 1>next year? No, probably not. This is this is his

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.920
<v Speaker 1>last go round. Lane is gonna be a restricted free agent.

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna pick up that? Not a Steeler, so I

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>can I can never have enough guys that can run

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and play linebacker. Pushes Marcus Allen off the roster. Yeah, probably,

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay with that. Um shouldn't he just shouldn't be.

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 1>They haven't ranked one thirty one. This is to sixteen.

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think he is more in that mid one.

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a game you're looking at. You just

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 1>take the gift. And we've done that a lot this draft.

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm hesitant to do it again. But the

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.400
<v Speaker 1>trade down lets that stuff happen. It does, We're gonna

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:11.720
<v Speaker 1>take this guy. If we don't trade down, we're up

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 1>again at uh Khalil Herbert still available, Chris Evans still available,

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Justin Hilliard, Jonathan Cooper, Tomorrow Hamlin, David Moore. I would

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:28.160
<v Speaker 1>probably go there, Drew Dalman, true center, Elijah Griffin, Puca Williams,

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.919
<v Speaker 1>Briley Moore of the tight end from KSE State, Elijah Mitchell,

0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.159
<v Speaker 1>those three backs are kind of interesting, Herbert. You can

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:39.639
<v Speaker 1>always bring in another. Here's an interesting one, John Bates,

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the tight end from Boise State. It's not bad. It's

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:47.160
<v Speaker 1>not bad value there. Um, I'd probably take the big,

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.120
<v Speaker 1>mashing interior offensive lineman. Now, yeah, I hear you. We're

0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to build a running game. Here. Your boy Kyl

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and grandson from SMU Aadelie. He's for the Steelers. Yeah,

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 1>because you jack kind of move two or thirty pound

0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 1>guy Matt Bushman from b y U. Not bad. Yeah,

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 1>these late tight ends are I mean, are they better

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 1>than gentry if the answer is obviously yes. But I

0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:10.520
<v Speaker 1>think you can find a guy. You know, but that's

0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 1>such a low ball. I mean it's really low. I mean, like,

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:15.560
<v Speaker 1>is that even worth it to knock him off the

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.840
<v Speaker 1>roster for seventh round pick when you could just one

0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>on the field. You could just sign one of them

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.960
<v Speaker 1>after the draft, because is way better than all these guys.

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:23.720
<v Speaker 1>At this point, there's only like ten picks left in

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the draft. So you're on the phone with guys like, hey,

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:27.639
<v Speaker 1>if we don't we don't draft you here. So you

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 1>take the best player available in this situation, the guy

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you can't maybe get in free agency. Is that David Moore?

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that is that Doman? I think it's the offensive lineman,

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 1>which is one of those would be fine. Finney could

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 1>just be a pure guard or you may even start.

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Yeah, I mean I don't mind throwing.

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.120
<v Speaker 1>When we had, uh, I think more can play center.

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing. When we had we had wasn't zero

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>line didn't say that it was lancer. Greg might have

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 1>said that that that maybe Dave. Because David Moore six one,

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:03.320
<v Speaker 1>that's the that's the question. But he's six pounds, but

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 1>he can move. I mean, I think it depends what

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:06.920
<v Speaker 1>you want from the position. I mean, Dolman couldn't be

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 1>any more different. I think Dolman's gonna start somewhere. I

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:13.479
<v Speaker 1>think I want more for this team. I think this

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 1>team wants to be a physical running game. And how

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.000
<v Speaker 1>much longer is is David DeCastro gonna be around? Oh?

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 1>He could be a starting guard for you. So you

0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:24.080
<v Speaker 1>throw this against you know, you can say, okay, if

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.760
<v Speaker 1>if two years from now you're starting interior line is

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 1>dots and um green, green and more, you're mashing people, yeah,

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 1>right right right and stone forsythin left tackle with you know,

0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:42.640
<v Speaker 1>with banner banner right tackle. You got it right, you're

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 1>mashing some some potatoes. No, I think More's the pick um.

0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Even if he has a B J. Finney career, he's

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>still worth the pick. It's a seventh round pick. Yeah right,

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.399
<v Speaker 1>all right, David Moore's picks, and we took three offensive lineman.

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Cheap offensive linemen are great. I mean it makes your

0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 1>salary cap work much better. Okay, so they do the

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 1>grades here on maybe we took it early back well,

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 1>but they gave us a B for the trade, all right.

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.160
<v Speaker 1>They gave us an A minus for taking Javonte Williams

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 1>at nine. He's our top rated back, top raded back

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>because he's so good after contact. But that's that's fine.

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Jamon Davis we got a C plus. They've seen lower

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 1>on Davis everybody else, like we did those Todd and Mels.

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.159
<v Speaker 1>He probably shouldn't have been available at fifty. He might

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.919
<v Speaker 1>have been cheating. Uh eight Sevenlijah Molden's a B minus.

0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Yeah. Kendrick Green at ninety two a

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 1>C plus. Fine Stone forsythe at is an A minus.

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a home. I mean, he's just highly potential to

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>be a starting tackle. Malcolm Coon's at one forties a

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:45.400
<v Speaker 1>C plus, it would be a good fit here. Yeah,

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I think so. Uh. Derek Barnes to sixteen a C plus,

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 1>got you. Uh, David Moore at two forty five is

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 1>an A minus, just a good value hit. So we

0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>ended up with I mean, I think they even more

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>at that pick, even if the Steelers second and third

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:04.720
<v Speaker 1>round picks were the offensive line. Yeah, we've got three a's,

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:08.399
<v Speaker 1>which we never get. Yeah, they're hard graders to overall

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:10.639
<v Speaker 1>our B plus. We got a B plus, probably the

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:12.439
<v Speaker 1>best grade we've ever got from that site. I think.

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 1>So trading downs great. If we wouldn't have traded down,

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 1>do you think we would have taken Williams. I'm start

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to lean towards Williams over a t N. I kind

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 1>of I'm like I did from the beginning. I'm like

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Williams better the whole time. Um, but I can see

0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:31.879
<v Speaker 1>a t N going ahead him, So I think he

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 1>will go creeps into your thinking when you're looking at that.

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:36.920
<v Speaker 1>But I would rather have Williams if i'm picking, and

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:40.920
<v Speaker 1>think he's so much more physical. Yeah, I think, I

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>mean a t N is a little straight line ish

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>to me. I think he's got a lot of potential

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 1>as a receiver Williams. Williams is not just good in protection,

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 1>he's great. He kills people in protection and Naja. Harris

0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>has a little work to do, to say the least,

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.399
<v Speaker 1>but he's got the body type two nd um. I mean,

0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>these guys can learn it. I mean a lot of

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 1>these guys don't get asked to do it because probably

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 1>we can have one of the best weapons on the

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:04.680
<v Speaker 1>field past blocking. But but you can tell what Williams

0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 1>went to when Williams went to North Carolina went there

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 1>as a as a linebacker. That physicality comes out a

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 1>running style and his passport thing about him supposedly an

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 1>awesome kid and unbelievably hard worker. I think it'd be

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a great fit here. I think he screams Steelers. He does.

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Harris does as well. I think, yeah, I'm not discounting,

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking bad about a t N or anything

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 1>like that. But but if it was no trade offers,

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:30.680
<v Speaker 1>we're sitting there at twenty four. I think I take

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Williams over a t N. And I've been going back

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:34.199
<v Speaker 1>and forth and not for a month, but you had

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Zaven Collins available, there's the question, Yeah, and then do

0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you take the what do you value? And if we

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 1>had taken Savin Collins there, we obviously aren't taking Jaman Day.

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 1>We are getting running We're getting j Secon. Yeah, we're

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 1>not getting a running back there. I could probably end

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 1>up with a sermon in the third because you're running

0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>backs went uh. As we mentioned, Harris went at twenty two,

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a t N at five, and then we went to

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Javante Williams at twenty nine. And as you said, you've

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:02.480
<v Speaker 1>you've heard from multiple people that Tampa Bay loves Williams.

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the that's the rumor I keep hearing from a

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:07.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty good source. Actually, um so, would you rather have

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 1>your first this this mark aside? Would you rather have

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Zavin Minerts sermon or Williams mine rts Werner. I'd rather

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:28.320
<v Speaker 1>William Myers Warner. I think the drop off between that, Yeah,

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys that drops off to me between

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we went we went through all the draft

0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 1>rankings there before, and I made a point to look

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:42.159
<v Speaker 1>at the difference between and mcshay's people and letter or

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.359
<v Speaker 1>number of grades on the difference in drop off between

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the running backs Number three, which which for him was

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 1>was Williams, who had an eighty nine grade eight two.

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 1>The next back, it was like twenty points. Yeah, and

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you can see it. I mean, twenty points is huge

0:27:01.440 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>in that like Xavin Collins be a wonderful thing to

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:07.119
<v Speaker 1>add to the team. But the difference between Collins grade

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and the number of eight or nine, it was like

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 1>ten points. No, I hear you, like in a nutshell,

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>especially if I'm not grading for the Steelers, I'd probably

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:19.640
<v Speaker 1>have a higher grade on Zaven Collins than Javante Williams.

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:25.119
<v Speaker 1>But that's not how it works, right, That doesn't make

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you a better team. Yeah, need their need, no matter

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:30.240
<v Speaker 1>what people think when they said, well, it's just draft

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the best player available, the best player available was always

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>based on need, always always right that nobody's because nobody's well,

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:43.400
<v Speaker 1>we can't passing this quarterback even though we have three

0:27:43.480 --> 0:27:46.359
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks on our roster, you know, Or then when we

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:48.560
<v Speaker 1>just drafted last year in the second round, there's something

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, No, you're not taking the quarterback, Like when

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>five years ago or whatever, when the Steelers had Heath

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Miller and Pouncy in their prime, taking a tight end

0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>or a center if they're for years. When when Kevin

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Colbert would step into the pre draft room, well, we're

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 1>probably looking at any position except for quarterback because they're

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 1>not taking a first round quarterback. They have a first

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 1>round quarterback who's in his prime. You're not taking the

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 1>first rounder either, you know, right we everyone knows what

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you're not taking right now. The more you shake it out,

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 1>like Jamie Davis probably won't be there, Like the Steelers

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 1>aren't taking Travon Mowrig in the first round. They've got

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>two first round safeties in their lineup. And just how

0:28:27.080 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 1>the team is right now and how good the defense

0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:32.359
<v Speaker 1>is to where the offense is. I don't know that

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 1>you can afford a third round back that touches the

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>ball as opposed to a third round linebacker, a third

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 1>round linebacker. This this this team could easily. When Kevin

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Colbert and Mike tom when we're asked about the specifically

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:50.959
<v Speaker 1>asked about the linebacker position in this draft, they're like, well,

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 1>this is really deep linebacker draft. There's a lot of

0:28:53.600 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 1>them like this. This is you know where we took uh,

0:28:57.080 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you know five years ago where you took Ryan Chase

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 1>here in the first surround because he was he was

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the unicorn, and even trading up for Bush, that's not

0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the case anymore. There's there's fifteen of those unicorns in

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 1>this draft. That's that's the norm now on college football,

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So you can you can get these guys. Yeah, that

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 1>supply has changed dramatically. Playing in space. Everyone realizes speeds

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 1>the linebackers number one attribute, you know now, I hear you.

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean again, that just makes it Who do you

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>take at twenty four if you couldn't have traded down

0:29:26.040 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 1>in the end, are you comfortable turning in the card

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>for Juvante Williams? I would Harris off the board, a

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 1>t n availables they even available, Jenkins available. I think

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the answer is yes, I would. I just think it

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>helps your team and I don't I don't care about

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 1>all the analytics stuff. That's first of all, he's a

0:29:42.240 --> 0:29:44.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty one year old running back to right, right, you're

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna get six or seven years out of him. I mean,

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>you would hope he gets three touches a year for

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the next five six years. Yeah, you know that has value.

0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 1>That has a lot of value, right right, right, absolutely,

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But as you break in a new quarterback new Yeah,

0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:01.040
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna do it. For our final up draft. Um,

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 1>we settled on Javonte Williams, who we took a lot

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.200
<v Speaker 1>in in the early process. If you didn't take him

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>as much in the middle process. We come back around, Yeah,

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 1>all the way back around. Correct me if I'm wrong.

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 1>The next drive is Monday. Yes, we will not be

0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:18.520
<v Speaker 1>back until Monday because we'll be on the air, wall

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:22.640
<v Speaker 1>in the wall, yeah, the whole time. And don't forget that.

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Tonight we'll have a simulcast show on d V as

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>well with Mike Pursudo that will also be available here

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:31.240

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm scheduled except for all the two segments,

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:49.120
<v Speaker 1>So maybe you can sneak off and write and do

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>your other job. I do have a real job that

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I do have to do. But so but for Matt Williamson,

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:57.600

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:05.239
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do. No, we can't mock draft anymore. We'll

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 1>get back into some fantasy stuff. Yeah, we'll find something here, absolutely,

0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>But it's been a lot of fun digging into this draft,

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:15.080
