WEBVTT - NFL Draft Triple Take (S), March 20, 2022

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of the NFL

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Draft Triple Take, presented by u p MC. Mike pursued

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>it from the d V Morning Show and Steelers dot Com,

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>joined by Dal Ally of s n R and Matt

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Williamson of s n R. Dale and Matt are s

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and our the Drive tag team. We've been teaming up

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of years now on the draft profiles

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 1>position by position. Will throw a mock at you every

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>now and then just to make sure you're paying attention

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and keeping up at home, but none of that Today.

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Today is uh safety day as we work our way

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>through the positions for the first time. And Dale's safety, Um,

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe not as uh eye catching as cornerback in this

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>particular draft, but some good players available and maybe the

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 1>best player in the whole thing at the safety position. Yeah,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>it's an interesting group. I mean, it depends on what

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you're looking for, uh, you know, from the position. And

0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of the college programs have taken

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>some of those big enforcer type safeties and moved him

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>to linebacker, uh you know, and so you're seeing some

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>of those guys get bulked up here and then you're

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>taking some guys who would have been maybe a free

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>safety type and you're telling him to put on ten

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>pounds and making them a strong and things of that nature.

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>So the whole game is kind of shifting and morphing

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>itself a little bit at the college level, and the

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>safety position is is no different. And to expand on that,

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.679
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really interesting. It used to be when

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I was growing up. Is he a free or is

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 1>he a strong? Okay? I mean those things still exist,

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>but the Dale's point, the strongs are now on the

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>second level playing linebacker, and the freeze are harder to find.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>You don't see the ed read earl Thomas Mica Fitzpatricks

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>as often as you used to. That just used to

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>handle the deep middle as by themselves. But now there's

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>also like a third category. Is the honey badger, slot

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>slash you know, do it all safety type? You know? Yeah? Yeah, right, shorter,

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>So there's all shapes and sizes. Yeah, Matt, you and

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I went with one of those guys at our number

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>five prospect at the safety position, Jalen Petrie of Bailor,

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and he checked a lot of the boxes you just referenced.

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I had a pretty simple evaluation on this guy. I

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>loved watching Baylor play this year, particularly watching Baylor played defense. Uh,

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that program has really made some strides. And those guys

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>just get after it. Man, give me, give me some Baylor.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>They just go get athletes, they get track guys and

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>tournament to football players, and they're well coached. And I

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>think from what I gathered, Petrie was really the leader

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>of that group. Again, a ton of great athletes around him.

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>And I right up about him, I said something along

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the lines of, you know, Petrie's more of a quote

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>defensive back rather than just a safety. I mean, he

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>does everything. He's near the line of scrimmage a lot,

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>makes a ton of plays. I mean, but to your

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>point a minute ago, that's kind of where the position

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>is going. Oh yeah, right right now, plots him off

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the slot, you know what kinds of stuff. Yeah yeah.

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>I almost looked at him more as a corner act

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and I did a safety when I when I looked

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>at this whole picture, and I couldn't put him in

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>my top five corners. I could and he just missed

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:09.679
<v Speaker 1>being in my top five safeties. But I could see

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>him being again a honey Badger type player, a guy

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>who plays the slot and and then also plays some safety. Well,

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the guy you did go with the number five deal

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Brian Cook from Cincinnati, another school that showed up on

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the field last season and in the playoff and uh,

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 1>certainly at the combine. Yeah, Cook's a bigger type guy

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>six one two oh six. Uh, you know, just makes

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>all the plays you know in the box. Um, but

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>he's still pretty good in coverage as well, So he's

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>got the size and in the athleticism the matchup against

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>tight ends. Uh, he's also very good and run support.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot there to like. But you know,

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>it just depends on what you're looking for at that

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>safety position. If you're if you're judging him against Jalen Petre,

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>while we're apparently looking for the same thing at number four.

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Because we all came up with Lewis scene from Georgia

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>mett one, it tell us why we all love this

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>guy so much. Yeah, I mean, Georgie is pretty good

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>on defense, and he was. They've had some guys crop

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>up the last few triple takes ridiculous, you know. Quick story.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I went to the UH the the opening game down

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>in Charlotte. It was George against Clemson, and I walked

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>out of that game thinking, boy, both of those teams

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>plays a pretty good defense. I had no idea that

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I at the time that I saw about twelve NFL

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 1>just for Georgia. Yeah, I mean it's just ridicted played

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 1>defense at a ridiculously high level. Uh. Can you go

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>wrong with a Georgia Bulldog mat I don't think so.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this guy six to I would classify him

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 1>as a strong if you have to put him in

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>one of those three categories we talked about. He can

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>really run, he lays the wood. I mean, he has

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>all that attitude that all those Bulldogs do. But this

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>is something I brought up with their linebackers a little bit.

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Is if you're gonna play on the set can level

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and you're as protected as well as these Georgia guys are,

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>your job was a little easier in college and it

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>will be the next level, no question, you know. Uh.

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Jeremiah talked about seen having just one interception this

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>year during the combine and he said, well, the other

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>team would have had any time to throw right they

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>were because getting sacked right. No, not only that they

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>never had the ball because they kept going three and

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>out other than that, Uh, Dale, you're four on seen

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and your third number three guy to Kwan Brisker from

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Penn State. Yeah, and he's a Gateway high school guy

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 1>out in Monroeville, so you know he's a a Pittsburgh guy.

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Went to Lackawanna College before transferring to Penn State. But

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>three seasons there he had five interceptions. Um, you know,

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I think he's good and run support. Uh. He had

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>some shoulder issues, so you know that don't have to

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>be checked out. But he checks off a lot of

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the boxes show you see his name sneaking into the

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>end of that first round, you know, on a lot

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>of the mock drafts that you see out there, I

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>can see why, you know, against six one pounds, good

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>size safety with ball skills. Yeah, I just have him

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>at number two. I went with Daxton Hill from Michigan

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>at number three. But I like the chess peace aspect

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 1>of Brisker's game, and you know how physical he is. Matt,

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>why don't you finish up on Brisker and then tell

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>us about Hill. Yeah, Hill's my two. I'm glad they'll

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>mention Brisker's shoulder injury because from what I understand he

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>really could have sat time out, and it was a

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty significant injury and he missed some tackles while his

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>shoulder didn't work, you know. I mean, it just shows

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>how tough he is. He's more strong than free a

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh kid. I mean to guy, you know, so he's

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a downhill dude, Das Hill is a lot different. I mean,

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>both these guys have good size and length, and all

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>these dudes are six you know, six ft plus. Hill,

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just an athlete. I mean, he ran a four

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>three eight. I mean, he really has a first round

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>corner profile. I was gonna say, I was. I was

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>wondering about him at corner when we were playing this

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>list together. Yeah, I've heard some people saying maybe that's

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, his future. So and he's not just the

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>uh A Tyron Matthew type corner. That's a tough, little

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>slot honey Badger type. If he's a corner, he might

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>be lining up outside the numbers and press coverage, you know.

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's there's a lot to work with with

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Hill and are unanimous number one, And I'm I'm gonna

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>go out on a limit and say everybody's unanimous number one.

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>It's safety. Kyle Hamilton's from Notre Dame. I guess what,

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>six four to twenty um and then God created football player.

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, right, right, right guy. The guy just looks

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>amazing just running and being an athlete. He looks amazing.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>And then you watch him not only out there dominating

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>on defense but covering Puntsdale. Yeah, I mean it gets

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>after it. What's not to like about this guy? You know,

0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>eight career interceptions, so he's got ball skills. Uh. You know,

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>his dad was a professional basketball player in Greece, which

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.880
<v Speaker 1>is where he was born. Is actually born in Crete,

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 1>on the Isle of Crete. So I've i said maybe

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>he should have the nickname the Minotaur because he's kind

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>of that big, scary guy on the backside of your

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>defense there, you know, throw your eyes. It's just I'm

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>spitballing here, milling. But the guys that the guy is

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>a good football player. We've seen a lot of these

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>guys come into the league in recent years that you

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>know that that are six four two twenty just athletic

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>freaks that you can put You can play him at strong,

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>you can play him at free, can put him at linebacker.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean you talk about a chess piece. That's this

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>guys Kelsey comes to town. You're like, hey, Kyle, you

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>gotlt so your best player in the drafts. I don't

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.079
<v Speaker 1>think he's gonna go number one, but you're supposed to

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 1>draft the player, not the position, right right. I mean

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>he would have my highest grade if I've actually put

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>raids on players. That doesn't mean I take him first. Overall,

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I think the best. He's the best at what he

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 1>does in a Sean Taylor like manner, that's just flat

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>out rare. Some people might look at his forty and

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>be like, it wasn't great. Okay, it wasn't great, but

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:10.079
<v Speaker 1>go watch the tape. He's anything but slow. Yeah, it's uh,

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.680
<v Speaker 1>it's really something to see. And uh, NFL is gonna

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of Kyle Hamilton's starting on the day

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 1>one in the NFL draft. That's gonna do it for

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>our look at safeties. But just be advised, we have

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot more ground to cover between now and the

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>time when the Jacksonville Jaguars are officially on the clock,

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>So keep checking in, keep finding us. However, and wherever

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you did, thanks for doing that this time. Until next time.

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.560
