0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 4>You've dressed up for the draft. I see that's really there.

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.839
<v Speaker 5>Well, I do have I do have clothes all changing.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 4>I just got a little work out in so oh

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 4>good for you. Are the nerves there yet? How you feel?

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 4>And first draft? All the work and all the build.

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 6>Up, you know, I mean excited more than anything just

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 6>for the uh, for the opportunity to get in there.

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 6>And I think we're gonna actually I don't think. I

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 6>know we're gonna be better after this weekend as a

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 6>football team. But you know, we've done all the work.

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 6>I mean, we prepared, we put long hours in. The

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 6>scouts have done a great job. James has been amazing

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 6>leading our coaching staff, led by Liam getting in and

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 6>doing it together. So it's like at this point now

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 6>it's kind of you just kind of wait, and you know,

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 6>obviously we pick early, so less there's fewer variables.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 5>To worry about.

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 6>But then we're gonna get into you know, you're get

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 6>in the rounds two through seven.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 5>You're at the mercy of what happens a little bit

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 5>before you.

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 6>So you gotta you know, you have a plan, but

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 6>you got to be ready to pivot and kind of

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 6>be flexible.

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 7>So you're saying, there's less variable, so you're saying you're

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 7>not trading.

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 5>Back as we speak right now.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, we'll see.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 7>All right. So the whole reason we brought you in here,

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 7>it's a that's a good cacking, that's a good catch.

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 5>A good player. Yeah, I think you know he'll be

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 5>a good football player. Listen, I think you know.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 6>You look at the team and what we've done in

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 6>free agency was purposeful.

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 5>One.

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 6>We wanted to raise the floor, but we also wanted

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 6>to fill some gaps with guys who we were confident

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 6>could come in and start day one and so that

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 6>we weren't going to be forced to do anything when

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 6>we got into the into the draft. So because of that,

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 6>we feel really comfortable with our options. We've obviously targeted

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 6>a handful of players each round, because we picked five today,

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 6>and you know, as far as trading down, that's going

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 6>to be, you know, continuing to evolve as you know,

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 6>as we have conversations and kind of see what's available.

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 6>It has to be the right You don't just trade

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 6>down to trade down. You have to have a couple

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 6>of things, want a willing partner them. The compensation has

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 6>to make sense for us, and then we want to

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 6>make sure there's a guy we like in the first

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 6>round wherever we land, and so we'll evaluate everything, but

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.839
<v Speaker 6>we feel pretty comfortable where we're at right now.

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 7>What has it been like to uh, to really understand

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 7>from really an intimate perspective of what intangibly rich really means.

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, Jeff, you and I watch tape all

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.839
<v Speaker 6>the time, and in the past you probably actually watched

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 6>a little bit more than me getting ready for the draft.

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 6>But we'd watch tape and all you have to go

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 6>by is what's on film, because we don't we're not

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 6>back when we're doing radio and when I was doing

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 6>you guys do. It's not like you're diving into the

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 6>character and the background information. We don't have that information

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 6>available to us. But if you think back Jeff to

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 6>when we played, it wasn't always the biggest, strongest, fastest

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 6>guys who were the best football players. There's more than

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 6>just physical attributes. It's the competitive nature of the individual.

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 6>It's the football instincts. It's the you know, the love

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 6>of the game like love and ball, you know, all

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 6>these things going into it's how they learn intelligence. They're intelligence.

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 6>How much can they comprehend? How do they process information?

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 6>So these are all kind of what you'd say in

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 6>you know, watching film, you can evaluate some of that stuff.

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 6>You can see their play demeanor, if a guy's finishing

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 6>blox or finishing plays or chasing and pursuing you can

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 6>see that competitiveness there, but then it's taught. You know,

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 6>our scouts have done a great job they always have

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 6>of talking to the coaches, the strength coach, the equipment coach.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 6>They're high school coaches who they're with, So that's kind

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 6>of what builds that overall profile. And ultimately we just

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 6>want good football players.

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 4>Tell me WASSELLI with us?

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 3>It's Jaguars Happy are on tentan Exaljaguars dot Com and

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Jaguars YouTube closing in on Round.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 8>One of the NFL Draft.

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 4>How do you know beyond the tape if a guy

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 4>loves ball? Well, how do you find that out?

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 3>Especially at this day and age with college and the

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 3>nil and things, the landscape has changed for prospects.

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 6>It's much more difficult, There's no doubt about it, because

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 6>you can't just go to the one university.

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 5>When Jeff and I played, I mean he went to Virginia.

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 6>I went to USC So it was a single place

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 6>the scouts can go to and say, tell me about

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 6>this individual. What's his work ethic? Like, what are that

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 6>in the weight room? How do they practice? And so

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 6>these are all kind of clues you can kind of

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 6>understand what the competitive nature of the individual is. It's

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 6>the same thing today, but now it's multiple colleges, it's

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 6>multiple phone calls, multiple touch points, and sometimes you got

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 6>to be careful because you might hear one thing about

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 6>a guy at his first school. He transfers and he's

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 6>only with this other school for one season, a very

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 6>short window, and they have glowing reviews. So is that

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 6>really who he is, right or is he putting on

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 6>an app act because it's a short window and he's

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 6>auditioning for a job. I mean, these are all the

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 6>nuances that we go through and try to do the best

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 6>we can to understand who the individual is now.

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 7>In the past, you would always see coaches and players

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 7>that were at one program. The coaches are trying to

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 7>get those players drafted as high as they possibly can

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 7>because it's it's it further sells the program that they're

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 7>trying to build. Yeah, I would think that having a

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 7>player having experience at a couple different places, you probably

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 7>get a little bit more of an honest perspective when you.

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 6>Get a whole rounded Yeah, And Jeffy, it's a great point.

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 6>I mean, we want to hear from that coaches. There's

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 6>no doubt about that. But yes, I also have to

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 6>be realistic. These guys are selling the program to the

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 6>next recruits coming and the last thing you want to

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 6>do as a head coach is bad mouth.

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 5>You're not gonna do one.

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 6>Of your players because the next guy's coming up. They

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 6>hear about that, and you know that's not well and

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 6>it does.

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 7>Get that player drafted. The higher you get to put

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 7>your drafted, the better exposure your program gets.

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 6>And so and anyone who's been football also understands. Go

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 6>talk to the trainers, Go talk to the wait coach,

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.039
<v Speaker 6>Go talk to the equipment coach, Talk to the support

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 6>staff that spend a lot of time with.

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 7>Us as players, and they'll give you.

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 5>They'll give you, they'll give you a pretty good view

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 5>of who the individual is.

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 7>I would be in contact with every equipment staff about

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 7>that player that I was thinking about. Sure they know

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 7>all the intimate details I've said players, no doubt about that.

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, JP Shatter, Jeff Lago and Tony WASSELLI with us

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 3>on Jaguars Happy Hour. Give us your behind the scenes

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 3>as much as you can. Look at James Gladstone in

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 3>the process he's put together to get to this point.

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 4>How impressive.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Is it what stands out the most about his efficiency,

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 3>his mindset, his his operation as a whole.

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 6>I'll just give you my perspective in all kind of

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 6>three areas. I was convicted that he was the right

0:07:56.880 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 6>choice when we hired him right before the combine, more

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 6>convicted now after working with him. His communication ability is

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 6>uncanny of how he can take in a lot of

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 6>information from a lot of different sources and kind of

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 6>correlate and synthesize all that information and communicate it to

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 6>the right stakeholders and make decisions from it. And then

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 6>the last thing, he is a he's a killer. I mean,

0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 6>don't underestimate Jane Gladstone. I mean, he is very good

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 6>at what he does. He's very focused, understands it, and

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 6>throughout the process has done a great job of jumping

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 6>into the middle of the situation in bringing everyone together

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 6>to make sure he's getting all the right information that

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 6>we can get to the right decision.

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 7>A Number two. You we brought up the communicator. It's

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 7>unreadied just I mean, our opportunity that we get obviously

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 7>is not as wide as the perspective that you get.

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 7>But listening to him talk, it's impressive. And what I

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 7>love here is that you refer to him as a killer,

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 7>because look, the reality is, in that line of work,

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 7>you've got to be confident, uh and unwavering and your

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 7>commitment to your beliefs and an understanding of players that

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 7>you're gonna be picking and if you're if you're not,

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 7>then you're just gonna get beat up and tossed aside

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 7>with and get eaten up.

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And just to go step further what I mean

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 6>by killer because people are like, what do you mean

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 6>he's GM. It's not like he's out there on the

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 6>fields eating.

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.960
<v Speaker 5>Guys up or anything. I'm not talking about the physical

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 5>side of it.

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 6>He he's very good at his job and and part

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.560
<v Speaker 6>of that. And this is what we did when we

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 6>went through the interview process. And I'm glad it's worked out.

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 6>And we're still in the early stages, so we got

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 6>a long way to go. We'll hit the adversity and

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 6>I think we'll even see it more at that time.

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 6>But I wanted to make sure and so did Liam,

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.720
<v Speaker 6>that we got that the individual there's gonna be the

0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 6>GM that was gonna partner with us. Because Liam and

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 6>I talked about this a lot, no ego, not ego driven,

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 6>and not a personal hidden agenda, because those two things

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:06.680
<v Speaker 6>kill an organization. And when I say there is none

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 6>of that, and there's a there's a lot of humility

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 6>combined with that attitude that he's just fearless. He is

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 6>not afraid to make tough decisions, in big decisions. And

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 6>that's what I say to Killer, He's unwavering and so

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 6>and then the last thing that I enjoy because we

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 6>have to come to work here and lead him the draft.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 6>It's long hours. My favorite part about this job outside

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 6>of I got to work at this organization and do football.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 6>I get to work with two really good dudes like

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:41.959
<v Speaker 6>Liam and James as good dudes at the end of

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 6>the day. And Jeff knows it's being a locker room.

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 6>You want the locker room filled with a bunch of

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 6>good dudes because then you'll figure it out. As long

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 6>as they're competitive, love ball and they're good dudes, you

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 6>can get through about anything. And that's been probably the

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 6>most fun of the process.

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 7>And you can't build culture. She got good dudes doing.

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 6>It right, because you think about culture, culture is all

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 6>that really is at the end of the day, and

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 6>we use different words, and those are important. The words

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 6>are important. It's what we live out every day in

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 6>the building. And it starts with leadership. What is leadership

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 6>living every day because that gets filtered through the whole

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 6>building and then that's just who we are. And so

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 6>that's what we're trying to build. And we've had you know,

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 6>free agency, we got the draft. We were on the

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 6>field this week. That was fun with the voluntary uh.

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 5>Mini camp Vetri Mini caamp.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 6>Great see the guys out there competing and uh, it's

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 6>one step at a time. But ultimately, you guys know this,

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 6>none of us are gonna be judged until September.

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:42.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we'll see.

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 3>You'll find out when the balls of the balls of

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 3>the t week one exactly right there. This could be

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 3>obviously a youth movement for the Jaguars, right you know,

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 3>ten draft picks, there's a lot of room on this

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 3>roster right now, Tony.

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 6>We have fifty nine signed players. That is the least

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 6>in the NFL. I'll put it this way. During Vetrian

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 6>mini camp, we had scouts and coaches playing scout team.

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.319
<v Speaker 5>What were you playing? No, no, no, no, you.

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 6>Have to actually be able to run James, Yeah, and

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 6>we are wildly comfortable with that. We're gonna get ten

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 6>draft picks over the next three days. We're gonna go

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 6>target and try to get approximately twenty undrafted free agents,

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 6>and then we'll see if we fill out the rest

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 6>of the spots with a couple other veteran free agents

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.439
<v Speaker 6>that are still out there. But you're gonna have training

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 6>camp when we're all sitting watching together as Liam and

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 6>our players and our coaching staff are out there working,

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:47.319
<v Speaker 6>you were going to see a competitive environment because jobs

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 6>are wide open. Come grab one, and we're gonna have

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 6>a bunch of young guys who are hungry and fighting

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 6>for a spot on the roster.

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 7>You bring up the roster composition of the number right

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 7>now fifty nine. A lot of people, I think don't

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 7>understand as a lot of times you kind of really

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 7>have two. Well, there's multiple tiers of free agency, but

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 7>you have a second phase of free agency, which typically

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 7>happens after the draft and teams wait to see what

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 7>they draft to there for to see what they need

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.839
<v Speaker 7>to plug in. I'm sure that's the approach there was.

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 5>We'll look at things. We have some good ideas.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean, well, we have a like I said at

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 6>the beginning, we have a plan of what we're gonna target,

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:24.959
<v Speaker 6>we're gonna go after in each round.

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 5>But let's say we miss.

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 6>Let's say we don't get some of the guys we

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 6>want a certain positions. Obviously, we still there's a number

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 6>of still good players out there that have played in

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 6>starting games in this league, and we'll do what we

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.319
<v Speaker 6>need to round out the roster. But expect a lot

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 6>of young guys running around here come two weeks from

0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 6>now on working meeting camps there.

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.559
<v Speaker 7>All right, So, so big question here. I think every

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 7>NFL team, for the most part that has has been

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 7>asked us, so is there an interest in Aaron Rodgers.

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 5>Less than zero Western zero?

0:13:57.920 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 3>I had to ask you that you heard it here

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 3>first you can I can confidently say we are not

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 3>going down that path.

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:06.320
<v Speaker 5>Not going down that path.

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 9>We are.

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 6>We feel pretty good about our quarterback, and it was

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 6>good to see him out there throwing shoulders, coming along

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 6>good his left shoulder, the rehab, he's been working his

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 6>tail off and and we're excited about what he can do.

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 7>How about the the I guess how do you say this?

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 7>The immersion and the new offense. I mean, it's got

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 7>to be a challenge. I mean, it's a system three

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 7>for him. And look, he's a bright guy, but how

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 7>was that going.

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 6>Well, he's very bright and he's a very hard worker,

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 6>and so that combination he'll be fine and great. Yudinsky,

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 6>offensive corner is doing a great job, and we have

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 6>a really good staff. And I think one of the

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 6>smart things several smart things that Liam did when he

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 6>built the staff, he brought guys in here that he

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 6>did either worked with or had worked in the same system,

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 6>with the same language that he had. So it was

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 6>is it we're onboarding a whole offensive staff and our quarterback.

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.280
<v Speaker 6>And then we brought in Nick Mullens who comes from

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 6>the system, Johnny Wolford who was in Tampa out of

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 6>that system, and at the RAMS out of that system.

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 5>And so what we've purposely.

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 6>Done is surrounded Trevor with a lot of guys who

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 6>understand to accelerate that that combined with his work ethic

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 6>and his intelligence, I'm not worried about it at all.

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Good Tony Boselli, Executive vice president Football Operations, Welcome back

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 2>about me.

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 9>You know.

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 10>The course is don't they don't really do anything to me.

0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 8>I know, I know how to get through the courses.

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 8>I'm not answer it.

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:20.679
<v Speaker 3>So that is Travis Hunter from Colorado, wide receiver and

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 3>cornerback at the NFL Draft yesterday. Some community events in

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 3>the Green Bay area and some of the prospects making

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 3>their way around town yesterday, all getting ready for the

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 3>big night at Draft Central outside lambeau Field, the nuts

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 3>so frozen tundra. Here at the end of April and

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.200
<v Speaker 3>welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. JP Shadwick with Jeff Logman.

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.399
<v Speaker 3>We're at the Miller Electric Center, just down the hall

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 3>from the draft room where the Jaguars leadership will make

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 3>the pick at number five.

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we'll see what happens tonight.

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Brian Sexton is in Green Bay, Wisconsin and he joins

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 3>US Now live from Draft Central.

0:17:58.800 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 4>How you feeling.

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 8>What's this scene?

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 4>Looks like there's a lot of a lot of fans

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 4>starting to file.

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 5>Into Green Bay.

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 11>Listen, if you see me do this, it means I'm

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 11>about to get run over because we're in the middle

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 11>of the parking lot, which seemed like a great spot

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.840
<v Speaker 11>to set up about an hour ago. But all of

0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 11>a sudden, there's just been this deluge of folks that

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 11>come through with either something to say or maybe just

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 11>sort of a threatening approach. It's a live and active crowd, guys.

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 11>I don't feel in danger.

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 2>But let's put it this way.

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:29.639
<v Speaker 11>I feel like I could get knocked down by somebody

0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:31.119
<v Speaker 11>who's a little too boisterous.

0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.199
<v Speaker 7>All right, So, Brian, I mean many people did not

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 7>expect Green Bay to be hosting a draft. Of all places,

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 7>where is everybody staying in Green Bay? I don't know

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 7>if there's enough hotel rooms to fit everybody. Are they

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 7>reunning every house out in Green Bay? Now?

0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:48.359
<v Speaker 4>You know this?

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.919
<v Speaker 11>This kind of feels a little bit like when Jacksonville

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 11>hosted the Super Bowl twenty years ago. They had to

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 11>come up with alternative plans, right, so we brought in

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 11>cruise ships.

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 2>They haven't quite done that.

0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.239
<v Speaker 11>I'm told that there are a lot of folks that

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.640
<v Speaker 11>jumped onto Airbnb. We're staying in Appleton, which is about

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.480
<v Speaker 11>half an hour from here. There's a lot of folks

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 11>who are staying north up towards Michigan, and plenty more

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 11>that are driving in from Milwaukee. It doesn't have the

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.199
<v Speaker 11>infrastructure and so they're not expecting the turnout like they

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 11>had in Detroit last year. There was upwards of seven

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.640
<v Speaker 11>hundred and fifty thousand people who attended the three days

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.880
<v Speaker 11>of the draft at Cadillac Square in Detroit. They're expecting

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 11>about two hundred and fifty thousand. It's just it's narrow,

0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.960
<v Speaker 11>there's not a lot of places to park. It's they're

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 11>doing their best and they've got this whole title town

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 11>thing going, so that's pretty good.

0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.199
<v Speaker 3>Brian Sexson joining us from just outside lambeau Field in

0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Green Bay, Wisconsin. The twenty twenty five NFL Draft coming

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.679
<v Speaker 3>up a little after eight o'clock tonight is the first round,

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 3>all right, So we heard from Travis Hunter they we'll

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.919
<v Speaker 3>for some more prospects coming up throughout this evening. You

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 3>caught up with a bunch of those guys yesterday. What

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 3>stood out the most about some of your conversations.

0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 11>Well so, Ted McMillan was the funniest because I asked

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.400
<v Speaker 11>him the receiver from Arizona, have you heard from the jaguars?

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 11>And his response was, nobody's heard from the jaguars, am

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 11>I Trippman? Has anybody talked to the jaguars? And of course,

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 11>you know, we knew that they weren't doing their thirty

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.880
<v Speaker 11>visit routine this year, but I was just curious if

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:15.959
<v Speaker 11>in any way, shape or form he had had made contact.

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 2>He said no.

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:20.280
<v Speaker 11>I asked Ashton Genty about being born in Jacksonville and

0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.400
<v Speaker 11>the potential of coming home, and he smiled and said,

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.159
<v Speaker 11>duvall he knew about the history with Fred and the

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 11>comparisons to Maurice Jones. Drew Travis Hunter was great. I

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 11>asked him point blank, what position are you playing? He

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.760
<v Speaker 11>said both. I said, you're holding on to that? He goes,

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 11>why shouldn't I? And Mason Graham was quiet. You know what,

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 11>lots of two and three word answers, but logs. He

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 11>had the biggest forearms. I mean, he made Tyson Alu

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:51.239
<v Speaker 11>Alu look small with his just the dimension from his

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 11>elbow to his wrist so strong, powerful fit that he

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 11>was a heavyweight wrestling champion in the state of California.

0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 11>They were all interesting, all good guys, which is what

0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:02.679
<v Speaker 11>everyone's looking for.

0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 2>They're looking for good guys. I heard Tony on with you.

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:06.919
<v Speaker 11>They're looking for good dudes in the locker room, and

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 11>all of those guys were good dudes.

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:12.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think Mason Graham, I mean, you're talking about

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 7>the intangibles are way way, way high. But I don't

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.320
<v Speaker 7>know if there's any intangibles that are higher than with

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.919
<v Speaker 7>Travis Hunter Bryan. I mean, the more you read about

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:26.160
<v Speaker 7>this guy, the more you get impressed with him. I mean,

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 7>he's just an outstanding individual on top of being an

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.920
<v Speaker 7>outstanding wide receiver and defensive back.

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 11>Well to your point, Jeff, we were talking with him

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 11>and he talked about being a better corner, a better

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.439
<v Speaker 11>wide receiver. He said he was really more focused on

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 11>being a better husband, which I thought was a great

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 11>line for him.

0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 2>He's married to his high school sweetheart.

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.399
<v Speaker 11>You probably saw the story in the Athletic that he

0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:54.360
<v Speaker 11>loves to bass fish is a very.

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Competitive bass fisherman.

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 11>He's just a really good guy and has a great

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.400
<v Speaker 11>head on his Shoulders. He was asked about the father

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 11>who's under house arrest or a confinement of some sort,

0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:06.160
<v Speaker 11>being allowed to come to the draft, and he said,

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 11>the only thing I can say is it's a blessing

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:09.880
<v Speaker 11>to know that my dad's going to get a share

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:12.520
<v Speaker 11>this night with me. Just a really grounded guy. And

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 11>I guess I was surprised Jay, Jeff and JP because

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 11>you know he's around Dion Sanders. You just would figure

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:22.480
<v Speaker 11>he'd be this flamboyant character, two way player, the best

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 11>player in the draft.

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:24.280
<v Speaker 2>No way.

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.919
<v Speaker 11>I mean, he was humble, he was confident, but he

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 11>was just a normal guy man. If they would make

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 11>a move up for him, I'd be really excited about that.

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 2>And listen, if they take genty at five.

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 11>He was a real million megawatts smile, carried on a

0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 11>great conversation, could just effortlessly move between reporters and questions.

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:49.919
<v Speaker 11>And a young man came up and wanted to take

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:51.680
<v Speaker 11>a picture, and he said, hold on, and he stepped out.

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.280
<v Speaker 11>These guys that the Jaguars are considering at the top

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 11>of the draft, or I should say, are reportedly considering

0:22:57.960 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 11>at the top of the draft, our first class human

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 11>beings from my limited interaction with them yesterday at the

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:04.400
<v Speaker 11>Play sixty events.

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 7>Brian, one of the things that's kind of been newsworthy

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 7>about the first round picks that potentially will be picked

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:15.000
<v Speaker 7>tonight is that the number kind of dwindled a little bit.

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 7>I think the NFL started out with the hopes of

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.199
<v Speaker 7>getting thirty players maybe there, and I think the numbers

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:24.199
<v Speaker 7>down to about fifteen. So you probably got an opportunity

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:25.520
<v Speaker 7>to talk to everyone that was there.

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.119
<v Speaker 11>Well, listen, I was on my way to talking to

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.320
<v Speaker 11>everyone and all of a sudden it started raining and

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:32.879
<v Speaker 11>we had to go run in for the car, So

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:33.880
<v Speaker 11>I only.

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Got to talk to those few guys.

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 11>But you know, there was only what offensive lineman, Will Campbell,

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 11>there were a few defensive linemen. They're just this has

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 11>become the draft has become a spread out affair, and

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.719
<v Speaker 11>guys throw their own parties and have their own, you know,

0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 11>YouTube channels lined up, and so you don't have that

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 11>centralization they had when you were drafted and everybody was

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:59.439
<v Speaker 11>in New York. There are some rumblings around here that

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 11>in future years Bill work to get a couple of

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.440
<v Speaker 11>the big names from the second round on for Friday night,

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:08.159
<v Speaker 11>so that They've got more players here, but more and

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:11.440
<v Speaker 11>more of the top players. Although again the top players,

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.720
<v Speaker 11>the big three that you've talked about, Hunter, Carter, and

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 11>Genty are all here. Cam Ward is here, Will Campbell

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 11>is here. There are some big names here, but there's

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 11>just not many of them.

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 7>And you can tell that the Green Bay locals don't

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 7>have much much experience with TV, Brian. They're all dancing

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:32.719
<v Speaker 7>around behind you in the background.

0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:36.879
<v Speaker 11>Listen, I told you the guy came by earlier and

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 11>I thought he was gonna knock me over.

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to get in front of the camera so bad.

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 11>I've never felt that way, but I'm like, you know

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 11>where there's a sniper on the roof.

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at him right now, and I want to.

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 11>Just do one of these. You got my back because

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:50.960
<v Speaker 11>I can't see what's going on behind me.

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 7>Don't keep pointing up there.

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:53.880
<v Speaker 8>Just stop the pointing up there.

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Bright Oh god, I don't want his attention to either. Listen.

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:01.919
<v Speaker 11>Overall this is this is a great environment. They have

0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 11>so much here, and you know, the Jaguars haven't played

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:08.760
<v Speaker 11>a regular game. They were here in twenty twenty logs,

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 11>but we were traveling back then. This place has changed

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 11>so dramatically since twenty twelve when Plaine Gabbert had his

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 11>I think his only three hundred yard passing day as

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 11>a Jaguars quarterback. I mean, there's so much that's been

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.159
<v Speaker 11>built up around her. Title town is an office complex

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:27.560
<v Speaker 11>with condos and all sorts of recreational opportunities. There's more

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:32.439
<v Speaker 11>restaurants and hotels around here. Not four seasons hotels Hampton

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 11>in right, but there's there's a lot around.

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Here these days, all right, Brian, So it's a cool place.

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:40.959
<v Speaker 7>Last question for me, because you know when we were

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 7>in Steven's Pointless Consint going way back to the Jaguars

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:48.119
<v Speaker 7>first training camp. Ever, Okay, one of the must that

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 7>you absolutely had to do when you were in Wisconsin,

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 7>especially around Green Bay, you had to have an order

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:58.720
<v Speaker 7>of kurds and a pitcher or a glass frosty mug

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 7>of Point beer. Have you that yet?

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 11>I will never touch a cheese curd. I don't care

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:09.199
<v Speaker 11>who orders it. I will never ever touch it, smell it,

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 11>taste it. But the Point beer might have been on

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:15.120
<v Speaker 11>tap last night, and I have fond memories of our

0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 11>nearly six weeks in Steven's Point Wisconsin. For those of

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 11>us that were on staff that showed up a little

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:24.840
<v Speaker 11>earlier than the union representative who refused to show up

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:25.440
<v Speaker 11>one day early.

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh that was you. No, But listen, lots of great memories.

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 11>But you know what's funny is is nobody here remembers

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:36.159
<v Speaker 11>the Cheese League. It's gone. It was that brief moment

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 11>with the Bears and the Chiefs and the Saints, and hey,

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 11>thanks appreciate your participation in our show.

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Are you right?

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 11>You see the crap I'm dealing with out here, But listen,

0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 11>I'll take it for the team for happy hour.

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 5>Fantastic.

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 4>We just do the rest of the show like this

0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:55.080
<v Speaker 4>Green Bay.

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Hey, listen, who do you want me to talk to?

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:26:57.680 --> 0:26:59.679
<v Speaker 2>The next guy that comes by, the next guy that

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 2>comes he's gonna get it.

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:04.479
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Final thought.

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 8>We'll get you out of here before you get heckled anymore.

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Who do you want?

0:27:08.920 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 5>Who do you think to go?

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 2>By the way, some of the wacky weed is, oh

0:27:12.760 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 2>who do I want?

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:17.440
<v Speaker 11>There's there's a guy over here who's burning something he

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 11>shouldn't be burning. Then that's probably why I'm distracted all

0:27:21.800 --> 0:27:24.879
<v Speaker 11>of a sudden, So I think Ashton Genty makes the

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:25.359
<v Speaker 11>most sense.

0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:25.959
<v Speaker 2>I've said this.

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:30.160
<v Speaker 11>They need touchdown scorers, Jeff. They have to have touchdown scores.

0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 11>You know you lost Christian Kirk. You don't have Evan

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:37.160
<v Speaker 11>Ingram anymore. You don't have the production guaranteed from ETN.

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.240
<v Speaker 11>I think genty makes a whole lot of sense, and

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.119
<v Speaker 11>I like him a lot. If you want to go up, great,

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 11>If you want to go back, fine, But I like

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 11>genty at five.

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 4>All right, Brian, it's hard arguing entertainment here.

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:51.239
<v Speaker 2>Listen, there's a lot going on.

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 11>If you want me to find more entertainment for you,

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.119
<v Speaker 11>I'll find it.

0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:58.120
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like people are having a really good time

0:27:58.200 --> 0:27:59.679
<v Speaker 3>there in Green Bay.

0:28:00.400 --> 0:28:01.120
<v Speaker 4>Have a great night.

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 2>It's about to get spicy here.

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 3>We'll look forward to your reporting throughout the evening. We'll

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 3>see you back here when you get home. Brian Sexton

<v Speaker 3>jus from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 8>Boy, what a scene there.

<v Speaker 4>And as is tradition, on Draft Day, you catch up.

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 3>With the general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars, this time

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:28.720
<v Speaker 3>first year general manager James Gladstone in the draft room.

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 5>About an hour ago.

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 3>JP Shadwick in the draft room with GM James Gladstone,

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:37.160
<v Speaker 3>first draft as a general manager. What are your feelings?

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Is there anxiety, nerves? How you're feeling just with only

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 3>a couple hours to go?

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:44.680
<v Speaker 10>You know, I gotta say, with all the work that's

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:47.960
<v Speaker 10>been done to date, all the collaboration across our coaching

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 10>staff and scouting staff feel firm and our plan heading

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 10>into tonight, And I got to say it hasn't felt,

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 10>in terms of sensation, all that much different than any

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 10>draft previously. You know, you got every thing sort of

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 10>in the hopper and feel like you just fall back

0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:06.320
<v Speaker 10>on what you had planned for and go from there.

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:09.040
<v Speaker 10>So we're looking forward to what unfold. But obviously it

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:11.480
<v Speaker 10>won't take long for us to be on the clock

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 10>and we're looking forward to press and send there and

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 10>making the call.

0:30:14.680 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Take us through your day so far, from the wake

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 3>up to the morning prep to get to this.

0:30:19.480 --> 0:30:22.520
<v Speaker 10>Point, you know, it's been low key, It hasn't It

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:24.920
<v Speaker 10>hasn't been all that different from my normal routine. Woke

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:27.720
<v Speaker 10>up at the same time, got here at the facility

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:30.600
<v Speaker 10>fairly early, and headed out to the field for a

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 10>few laps before taking some calls to just tie up

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 10>a few loose ends, and have since been just chewing

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 10>on the same thoughts that have seemingly been circling for

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 10>quite a few few weeks.

0:30:43.440 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 8>Now, what's on your final checklist? Now?

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:49.160
<v Speaker 3>What do you lean on when the clock starts? And

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 3>take us a little bit if you can through your

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 3>process when time is of the essence.

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, you know, this first pick is going to be

0:30:55.880 --> 0:31:00.040
<v Speaker 10>a little different than the next next nine. Obviously, we

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 10>some version of a controlled environment, knowing that there's only

0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 10>four selections ahead of us, and beyond that, I think

0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 10>what we'll lean into is a lot of the same

0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 10>things that I think we've preached over the last eight weeks,

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 10>and really that's about focusing on players who are intangibly rich,

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:19.480
<v Speaker 10>and so that'll be top of mind at each pickpoint,

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 10>and really the decisions that we'll make with each of

0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 10>the nine picks that lie beyond tonight, we'll be sure

0:31:26.200 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 10>to lean into that and keep that as our north star.

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 8>We all see rumors.

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you follow the TV coverage of draft and all

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:35.760
<v Speaker 3>the rumors Draft Day things that may or may not happen,

0:31:35.800 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 3>And how busy has.

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 8>It been on the phones with the Jaguars.

0:31:39.960 --> 0:31:42.960
<v Speaker 10>Well, yeah, I think I've got a pulse for what

0:31:43.040 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 10>has seemingly been pushed out, which seems like every single

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 10>scenario on planet Earth, which is exciting, entertaining. I mean,

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 10>that's the business that we're in, and I think at

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:55.920
<v Speaker 10>pick number five we'll see some fireworks.

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 5>One way or another.

0:31:57.760 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 8>James, you luck to you appreciate the time.

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 10>I appreciate it as well.

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Game on, game on logs, James Gladstone, the general manager

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:07.360
<v Speaker 3>could see some fireworks one way or another.

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 4>That's what you like to hear.

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:12.760
<v Speaker 7>That's that killer mentality that Tony Boselli was talking about

0:32:12.760 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 7>here a little bit ago. You know, I love listening

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 7>to him talk very seamless. I mean, he should have

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 7>considered a job in broadcasting, right. I mean, he's just something.

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 7>He's quick on his feet, he's very direct and doesn't

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 7>have any kind of a catchword to kind of gather

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 7>a thought. I mean, he's just impressed. And look, part

0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:35.800
<v Speaker 7>of being a leader also is being a great communicator,

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 7>and and Tony's dead on the money about that aspect

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 7>of him. It's fun to watch.

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.880
<v Speaker 3>There is a fascinating article in The Athletic that just

0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 3>came out recently about his rise through the RAMS organization

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:53.960
<v Speaker 3>and now his step forward as a general manager and

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:56.880
<v Speaker 3>some of the processes he's used to get.

0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 8>To this point.

0:32:57.440 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of what I was trying to get out

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:02.160
<v Speaker 3>of there a little bit was some of the behind

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:04.880
<v Speaker 3>the scenes data things that he'll use now in the

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:07.239
<v Speaker 3>past year, we've seen a draft room with you know,

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 3>thirty people in there and ringing the room and all that.

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if we'll have that this year with

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:15.360
<v Speaker 3>James and he'll have access to people close by, it's

0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 3>going to be a select few that are actually right there.

0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:21.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think it kind of focuses the room. I

0:33:21.280 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 7>think in a lot of different ways. I would probably

0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 7>do something somewhere if I were ever in James's shoes,

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 7>just because you don't want to have a whole lot

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 7>of things that are moving parts, etc. But everything he's

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.520
<v Speaker 7>done to date has been very impressive so far. But

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 7>this day, today is the start of the lifeblood of

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:44.240
<v Speaker 7>this franchise. The reality is is that the organization has

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 7>not drafted very well in the past, and that's a fact,

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 7>and the fact is shown in the record that this

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 7>team has had and that needs to change. And how

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 7>it changes is that you bring better players into the organization.

0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 7>James Gladstone is the key to this whole thing. He

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 7>lives the key to this whole success of this organization

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 7>going forward, and it starts today with him. It started

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 7>in free agency a little bit, but this is the meat,

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 7>and this is the potatoes of any organization today, tomorrow

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:14.080
<v Speaker 7>and the next day.

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:16.720
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty fascinating that you come in as a new GM,

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 3>but you inherit the scouting staff you don't bring. There's

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:24.280
<v Speaker 3>been a couple of additions, right. The big change addition

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:27.359
<v Speaker 3>a lot of times happens after the draft. So he's

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 3>inherited scouting staff and personnel staff and has from all accounts,

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:37.880
<v Speaker 3>enjoyed that process. They've done a good job in figuring

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:41.759
<v Speaker 3>out how he wants to communicate and work. And that's

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 3>got to be a difficult transition. I mean, you come

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 3>in and all of a sudden the staff's already in place.

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, just I mean for me personally, I

0:34:48.560 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 7>would probably have a very difficult kind of time of

0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.839
<v Speaker 7>trusting people, right, I mean, because look, there's a lot

0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 7>of holdovers from the Trent Ball general manager era. And

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:04.799
<v Speaker 7>you know, from what I understand, James has been very

0:35:04.840 --> 0:35:07.760
<v Speaker 7>open and honest and has worked with everybody and that's

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:11.399
<v Speaker 7>that's amazing. But I'm sure, just like anybody else would

0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 7>do that, there will be changes within the staff in

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:18.000
<v Speaker 7>and around James Gladstone's room, and as it should be,

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 7>because as a general manager, you want to make sure

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 7>that you have voices that you trust and also ears

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:26.360
<v Speaker 7>that you can trust.

0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:30.239
<v Speaker 3>Tonight, it's the first round of the twenty twenty five

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 3>NFL Drafts at eight o'clock start time, and we will

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 3>come back in this moment. We'll have John Oser, Jaguars

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.279
<v Speaker 3>dot Com senior writer. He'll join us on set and

0:35:40.719 --> 0:35:41.880
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna make some picks.

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:44.360
<v Speaker 7>We kind of already have logs, haven't we.

0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:46.640
<v Speaker 4>We kind of have I'm sticking with my Okay, well,

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:48.880
<v Speaker 4>well don't ruin it now. We'll come back if you've.

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:50.240
<v Speaker 7>Just joined us logs.

0:35:50.320 --> 0:35:53.399
<v Speaker 3>Is gonna make another pick, but it's probably the same pick.

0:35:53.719 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 4>That is this Jaguars happy.

0:35:55.360 --> 0:36:10.640
<v Speaker 9>Hour anytime somebody's excelling on the level the highest level

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 9>in the football league, for sure. But I also think

0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:16.520
<v Speaker 9>we can't overlook, you know, also guys in you know,

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 9>college football doing amazing things. Also in the NFL, there's

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 9>a lot of other greer running backs. Now, is he

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 9>the number one guy leading that?

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 8>For sure? Yeah?

0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:29.720
<v Speaker 3>That is Ashton Gent, the running back from Boise State

0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:33.440
<v Speaker 3>and the Heisman Trophy runner up last year, only a

0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:37.560
<v Speaker 3>little over two hundred points behind Travis Hunter and the

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:42.399
<v Speaker 3>Heisman voting massive season a year ago, five foot eight

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:48.080
<v Speaker 3>to eleven, tough to tackle. We'll see if he's there

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 3>at five, if he's the picker or not. JP, Shadwick,

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Jeff Logan, John Osier joining us in the studio.

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 12>Now, Hi, John, I like the dramatic pause there. Yeah. Well,

0:36:56.640 --> 0:36:59.359
<v Speaker 12>when you're bringing me in said, uh, it's draft night.

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:01.919
<v Speaker 12>I mean it's it's Uh, We've been through a lot

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:04.719
<v Speaker 12>of these, and I think it's James Gladstone said a

0:37:04.719 --> 0:37:07.680
<v Speaker 12>couple of weeks ago. Uh, when you're picking number five

0:37:08.160 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 12>and it's the first pick of a new regime, Uh,

0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:13.960
<v Speaker 12>it's a tone center. So this is a big night.

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 12>And I think over all, Jeff, it's a big weekend

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.839
<v Speaker 12>for me to see sort of what a James Gladstone

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:23.640
<v Speaker 12>draft looks like. He does things differently. I'm curiously what

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:25.040
<v Speaker 12>this looks like by the end of Saturday.

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:28.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and I think all three days are really tone setters.

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:31.440
<v Speaker 7>I mean, look, you're you're adding ten. You know that's

0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:34.680
<v Speaker 7>the number you're at now, you know, prospects to your roster.

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:37.800
<v Speaker 7>And by the way, JP, you kind of short changed

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:41.440
<v Speaker 7>Jenny a little bit. Was a five, nine, two fifteen,

0:37:42.200 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, and when you're five foot nine, okay, and

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.279
<v Speaker 7>you get called to be five foot eight that that that.

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 8>First five and a half.

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that's he's five five foot eight and a half. Oh,

0:37:51.200 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 7>you're rounding up.

0:37:52.719 --> 0:37:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but a round up okay's not a round up

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:56.560
<v Speaker 3>first okay.

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:59.160
<v Speaker 7>But I will say just real quick about Jenny watching

0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 7>the film with a guy, it's amazing to watch him

0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:07.920
<v Speaker 7>and how powerful he is. And the one area that

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:12.040
<v Speaker 7>the Jacksonville Jaguars have great history with is the running

0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:16.440
<v Speaker 7>back position. Fred Taylor, Maurice Jones, Drew And how fitting

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:19.160
<v Speaker 7>would it be to have a guy like Jenny to

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:20.759
<v Speaker 7>follow up from those two.

0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, if it's at five, he's going to be at

0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:26.399
<v Speaker 3>that level, right to be a successful pick.

0:38:26.480 --> 0:38:28.799
<v Speaker 12>John, Yeah, it's making a mistake if you take a

0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 12>running back at five. I said, I called this morning.

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:34.960
<v Speaker 12>I called Leonard Frend you know, a mistake pick. And

0:38:35.440 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 12>I like Leonard. But when you take a guy four

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:42.799
<v Speaker 12>and he's not a franchised, defining guy, all pro guy

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:45.680
<v Speaker 12>at that position, then it didn't work. So if you're

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:49.800
<v Speaker 12>going to take that position that high, really any position

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.160
<v Speaker 12>that I five, but especially running back, when you're going

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:54.799
<v Speaker 12>there and saying okay, it's maybe a five or six

0:38:54.960 --> 0:39:02.280
<v Speaker 12>seven year peak person. It's got to be Derrick, Henry Saquon.

0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Barkley level production.

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:08.839
<v Speaker 12>Ap that's what you're expecting. So that's you know, whether

0:39:08.880 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 12>they say it or not tonight, if you take a

0:39:11.239 --> 0:39:13.279
<v Speaker 12>running back in five, that's what you're thinking is gonna be.

0:39:13.760 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 7>The position has been devalued, I mean over the years,

0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:19.000
<v Speaker 7>and people are saying, well, how can you can't use

0:39:19.600 --> 0:39:22.440
<v Speaker 7>high draft capital anymore to draft a running back? But

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:27.480
<v Speaker 7>if you listen to Liam Cohene talking about helping Trevor out,

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:30.080
<v Speaker 7>what's the one thing that he's talked about all off season?

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:33.480
<v Speaker 7>Getting a running game and better up front around them?

0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:35.479
<v Speaker 7>And look, I want to get a better running game.

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:37.640
<v Speaker 7>Bam Jenny.

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Right now.

0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:42.359
<v Speaker 7>Number two gives you an instant running game. I don't

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 7>think there's any doubt on that.

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:48.120
<v Speaker 12>And the position has been devalued, and that's a big theme.

0:39:48.120 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 12>It's always a big pre pre draft theme. Now hall

0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:56.080
<v Speaker 12>of famers haven't been devalued, so you're thinking, and I

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:58.840
<v Speaker 12>say hall of famers, I mean with Derek Henry, the

0:39:58.840 --> 0:40:02.520
<v Speaker 12>guys we just mentioned, Henry Saquon Barkley, those are Hall

0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 12>of Fame level talent. Fred Taylor Hall of Fame level talent.

0:40:06.280 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 12>That level of talent at that position hasn't been the value,

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:12.680
<v Speaker 12>So that would be the counter argument to the devalued position.

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:15.239
<v Speaker 7>Well, and it's kind of interesting to see all of

0:40:15.280 --> 0:40:18.720
<v Speaker 7>the draft talk kind of over the last six weeks

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 7>and where it's been with Jenny. I mean, there were

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 7>so many different people that were forecasting him going to

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:27.319
<v Speaker 7>Chicago and then all of a sudden here recently now

0:40:27.520 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 7>some people are picking that he may come here to

0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:33.279
<v Speaker 7>the Jacksonville Jaguars. And it's interesting too because if you

0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:36.440
<v Speaker 7>look at what is in what's the common theme with

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:40.040
<v Speaker 7>Chicago and the Jaguars. They have a very young quarterback

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:43.319
<v Speaker 7>that really hasn't shown that he's going to be an

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:46.800
<v Speaker 7>elite player yet, and so both teams may be looking

0:40:46.880 --> 0:40:50.919
<v Speaker 7>to get a running back to help out these young quarterbacks,

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:54.360
<v Speaker 7>and he's a really good one. I said this to

0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:59.239
<v Speaker 7>you JP and Brian Sexton, I think last week, and

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:01.640
<v Speaker 7>I said that, you know, there's three great players in

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:04.359
<v Speaker 7>this draft, and I'm just talking just from watching film

0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:07.120
<v Speaker 7>that are head and shoulders above everybody. They are, and

0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 7>that's Jenny, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter. Those three guys

0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 7>are just ridiculously at high levels. I mean, they're so

0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:18.680
<v Speaker 7>separate from everybody else and at the top, and I

0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:22.840
<v Speaker 7>don't cam Ward's not even in that category, not even close.

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:27.440
<v Speaker 7>But those three guys I think are just And the

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:29.759
<v Speaker 7>future may say that there's more than just those three,

0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:32.319
<v Speaker 7>and maybe even not one of those three, but I

0:41:32.320 --> 0:41:34.719
<v Speaker 7>think right now, in my opinion watching the film, those

0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 7>three guys are it.

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:38.239
<v Speaker 12>And when people ask to a people, when is it

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:40.680
<v Speaker 12>okay to take it back in the top five, it's

0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 12>when what Jeff said is true. Meaning if that back

0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:47.319
<v Speaker 12>is one of three great players in the draft, and

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:50.799
<v Speaker 12>there's another quarterback in there and maybe some team things

0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:56.600
<v Speaker 12>offensive lineman, that's the scenario where it's okay because any

0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:59.600
<v Speaker 12>GM you know, why did the Eagles win the Super

0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 12>Bowl at year because they had a bunch of players

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:05.520
<v Speaker 12>who were really really really good. How many really really

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:08.799
<v Speaker 12>really good players the Jaguars have right now, BTJ and

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 12>a couple you know, So if you're adding that to

0:42:11.800 --> 0:42:16.000
<v Speaker 12>your group, then nets when top five running back makes sense?

0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:19.160
<v Speaker 3>John Ozier with us it is Jaguars happy hour, JP

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:21.919
<v Speaker 3>Shatter because Jeff Loghman just a few minutes to go here.

0:42:22.320 --> 0:42:25.600
<v Speaker 3>This is the latest that we've been to an NFL

0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 3>draft where every team has their original pick in the draft.

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:33.160
<v Speaker 3>I think it was ninety three when the Chiefs and

0:42:33.200 --> 0:42:36.520
<v Speaker 3>the Niners made the deal for Joe Montana and traded

0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 3>picks and such just a few days before the draft.

0:42:39.120 --> 0:42:43.080
<v Speaker 3>That was previously the latest it had gone. But all

0:42:43.120 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 3>even the years before this draft, everybody still has their picks.

0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:49.680
<v Speaker 3>It's an oddity. We'll see how long it lasts. I

0:42:49.719 --> 0:42:52.880
<v Speaker 3>guess tonight it feels like, you know, with with the

0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:56.520
<v Speaker 3>top four kind of there, the Jaguars might be that

0:42:56.640 --> 0:42:58.760
<v Speaker 3>fulcrum point in this first round tonight.

0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:02.799
<v Speaker 12>Well, it's good that you said the thing about the

0:43:02.840 --> 0:43:06.839
<v Speaker 12>trades now, because I think by eight forty five or so, yeah, oh,

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:08.200
<v Speaker 12>it's gonna be. I think it'll be a lot of

0:43:08.200 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 12>trades once it starts. I think you got a little

0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:14.839
<v Speaker 12>momentum Jeff of Okay, Well, once teams hadn't traded by

0:43:14.960 --> 0:43:17.439
<v Speaker 12>a couple of weeks ago, then you wait and see

0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:20.239
<v Speaker 12>what Tennessee does, and then other teams can start talking

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 12>about it. My guess is there's been a lot of

0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:25.280
<v Speaker 12>calls around the league where the button's ready to be pushed.

0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:27.440
<v Speaker 12>As soon as you're on the clock, So I think

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 12>that would change.

0:43:28.120 --> 0:43:30.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, a lot of groundwork probably already been done. But

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 7>John's right. I think once once cam Ward goes number

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:38.600
<v Speaker 7>one to Tennessee, then I think then the phones are

0:43:38.640 --> 0:43:41.640
<v Speaker 7>going to start ringing after the top five happened, because

0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:44.759
<v Speaker 7>the next two quarterbacks, which is obviously going to be

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:46.960
<v Speaker 7>a big part of that conversation about who trades and

0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:50.359
<v Speaker 7>who doesn't. Where those guys end up fitting. I think

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:52.319
<v Speaker 7>it's gonna be very interesting because you know, for a

0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:54.279
<v Speaker 7>long time people just thought that the trade was going

0:43:54.360 --> 0:43:57.360
<v Speaker 7>to be mainly around the Sheder Sanders. But Jackson Dart

0:43:57.400 --> 0:43:59.919
<v Speaker 7>is now in the conversation as to moving up into

0:43:59.920 --> 0:44:03.040
<v Speaker 7>the top half of the first round, which could make

0:44:03.080 --> 0:44:04.320
<v Speaker 7>that even more interesting.

0:44:04.560 --> 0:44:06.919
<v Speaker 12>Quarterbacks always figured out a way to get up there.

0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:08.440
<v Speaker 4>It's fascinating how that works.

0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:11.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's all the media we've been seeing the

0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:14.799
<v Speaker 3>last couple of days is on Jackson dark But I mean,

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:17.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess that boards have had him up

0:44:17.880 --> 0:44:20.920
<v Speaker 3>there all the whole time, Like they don't change their boards.

0:44:20.640 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 8>Just leave the process.

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:24.680
<v Speaker 12>That's a huge isnamic in the draft too, is the

0:44:24.760 --> 0:44:27.920
<v Speaker 12>media sort of hops into this on an increasing level

0:44:28.480 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 12>after about the combine. So a lot of players whose

0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:38.440
<v Speaker 12>stock is rising, it's because a GM finally told somebody

0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:41.800
<v Speaker 12>in the media, hey, this guy's pretty good too. Oh

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:44.239
<v Speaker 12>now his stock's rising exactly. And I think that's what

0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:46.400
<v Speaker 12>happened with Genti. Frankly, I think I think a lot

0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:50.520
<v Speaker 12>of NFL people knew that this kid was special. Everybody

0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:53.480
<v Speaker 12>assumed the back wouldn't get taken that high. So then

0:44:53.560 --> 0:44:56.839
<v Speaker 12>once it starts sort of flushing itself out, everybody realized, oh,

0:44:56.960 --> 0:44:59.759
<v Speaker 12>there's only three guys, this guy should be up there.

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.200
<v Speaker 12>Some of that's finding out the information later.

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:05.560
<v Speaker 7>And the other thing I think is going to be

0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:08.000
<v Speaker 7>fun to watch tonight, aside from the top of the

0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:12.759
<v Speaker 7>draft and the quarterbacks and Jenny and what the Jaguars do.

0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:17.480
<v Speaker 7>For me, just an interesting standpoint. This football team here

0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:22.080
<v Speaker 7>in Jacksonville's offensive lineman. Okay, so what happens in the

0:45:22.080 --> 0:45:25.439
<v Speaker 7>first round with all of these tackles that are there's

0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:27.800
<v Speaker 7>a lot of them that have a first round grade,

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:30.720
<v Speaker 7>And so I'm going to be watching this first round

0:45:30.800 --> 0:45:33.960
<v Speaker 7>with an eye on what can the Jaguars do in

0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 7>round two and who goes undrafted in Round one to

0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:40.959
<v Speaker 7>give this football team options at a position of need,

0:45:41.440 --> 0:45:42.720
<v Speaker 7>which is offensive line.

0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:46.000
<v Speaker 3>You always say it, You've been saying it for months.

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:48.359
<v Speaker 3>If you're going to rebuild the offensive line, you better

0:45:48.360 --> 0:45:50.239
<v Speaker 3>start drafting offensive lineman high.

0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:53.040
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, And I think that's the dilemma when you're talking

0:45:53.080 --> 0:45:57.440
<v Speaker 12>about Jenny or you're talking about offensive skill player high.

0:45:58.440 --> 0:46:01.880
<v Speaker 12>I do believe that at some point point the Eagles,

0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:05.239
<v Speaker 12>right all those years where they invested in it and

0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:08.520
<v Speaker 12>it's not a sexy pick and your fans kind of go, Okay, well,

0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:12.200
<v Speaker 12>it's fine, But at some point you have to sacrifice

0:46:12.239 --> 0:46:16.960
<v Speaker 12>some next day pop to get that on one side

0:46:16.960 --> 0:46:18.759
<v Speaker 12>of the ball or the other. If you're going to

0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 12>be a line centric team, you have start taking them early.

0:46:22.239 --> 0:46:24.000
<v Speaker 12>But I don't think. I don't think they're gonna be

0:46:24.000 --> 0:46:24.840
<v Speaker 12>a line centric tonight.

0:46:25.360 --> 0:46:27.680
<v Speaker 7>And I would add one thing here that you made

0:46:27.719 --> 0:46:32.160
<v Speaker 7>about the Eagles, right. The Eagles have drafted so well

0:46:32.680 --> 0:46:35.879
<v Speaker 7>over the years, and that's the key of this whole thing.

0:46:36.480 --> 0:46:39.640
<v Speaker 7>You've got to be able to stack good draft after

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:44.000
<v Speaker 7>good draft after good draft. I'm talking consistently good drafts

0:46:44.040 --> 0:46:47.200
<v Speaker 7>to build a franchise. If you can do that, then

0:46:47.239 --> 0:46:49.879
<v Speaker 7>you can be where the Eagles are you know? And look,

0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:54.400
<v Speaker 7>they're winning super Bowls without a truly truly elite quarterback.

0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:57.360
<v Speaker 7>I think of Passer now, he's got his great traits

0:46:57.400 --> 0:47:01.120
<v Speaker 7>and special characteristics in his own right. Yes, But the talent,

0:47:01.200 --> 0:47:04.160
<v Speaker 7>the overall talent of that Eagles team is what has

0:47:04.320 --> 0:47:07.319
<v Speaker 7>carried that football team to where they are today. And

0:47:07.400 --> 0:47:10.600
<v Speaker 7>you hope that James Gladstone leaves this team in that

0:47:10.680 --> 0:47:11.800
<v Speaker 7>direction going forward.

0:47:12.000 --> 0:47:14.879
<v Speaker 12>In James, you trust, right, j Yes, yes we do.

0:47:15.040 --> 0:47:18.479
<v Speaker 3>And that begins tonight final couple of minutes here, guys.

0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:20.600
<v Speaker 4>So John, let's let's.

0:47:20.400 --> 0:47:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Get your pick.

0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:24.360
<v Speaker 4>If the Jags are at five, what are they like?

0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:28.600
<v Speaker 12>Look, I think there's guys out of their reach at

0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:31.279
<v Speaker 12>five that they love. I think Carter and Hunter, who

0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:33.960
<v Speaker 12>I don't think will be there at five. If they

0:47:33.960 --> 0:47:36.399
<v Speaker 12>could get those guys, boy, I think they love them.

0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:38.600
<v Speaker 12>I don't know if it's going to be too expensive.

0:47:38.600 --> 0:47:41.200
<v Speaker 12>There's reports out there about all kinds of different things.

0:47:41.200 --> 0:47:44.719
<v Speaker 12>The expense to move up I just wonder about. So

0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:46.919
<v Speaker 12>I'm gonna go genty if they stick at five.

0:47:47.719 --> 0:47:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Blogs, Oh goodness, we went through this earlier.

0:47:53.600 --> 0:47:54.640
<v Speaker 2>We know what you want.

0:47:55.000 --> 0:47:57.640
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I wanted to trade up to get trash but

0:47:57.680 --> 0:47:58.160
<v Speaker 7>if they're.

0:47:58.040 --> 0:47:59.480
<v Speaker 2>At five, a lot of things.

0:47:59.520 --> 0:48:00.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I know.

0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:05.000
<v Speaker 7>Look, I love Jenny, like I said, I think he's

0:48:05.040 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 7>one of the three elite players in this draft, and

0:48:07.200 --> 0:48:09.719
<v Speaker 7>I think that you can't go wrong there. But I

0:48:09.760 --> 0:48:14.640
<v Speaker 7>will say this, Mason Graham, Banks, the tackle out of Texas.

0:48:15.600 --> 0:48:17.600
<v Speaker 7>There's a lot of great players in this draft, and

0:48:18.440 --> 0:48:21.880
<v Speaker 7>I think that it's gonna be hard to mess this

0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 7>fifth overall pickup.

0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:29.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if there's a long scenic route to

0:48:29.040 --> 0:48:30.000
<v Speaker 3>a pick, said Jenny.

0:48:30.080 --> 0:48:33.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, okay, but look, I like again, I like Mason Graham,

0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:36.239
<v Speaker 7>I like Banks the tackle from Texas, and those two,

0:48:36.280 --> 0:48:39.640
<v Speaker 7>all three of those guys are worthy at five. But

0:48:39.760 --> 0:48:44.040
<v Speaker 7>the truly elite player again, like I said, Hunter Carter

0:48:44.520 --> 0:48:47.239
<v Speaker 7>and then of course Jenny, those three are the elites.

0:48:46.880 --> 0:48:47.319
<v Speaker 8>In this dram.
