1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: your twenty four seventh home of the Black and Gold

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly, he

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: is Matt Williamson here listening to see the Drive here

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio. And Matt dan Parr and Eric

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Edholm on NFL dot com did the top three draft

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: needs for all thirty two teams on NFL dot Com.

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: I thought we'd roll through that give some people, you know,

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: we're we all often always do mock drafts, but it's

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: good to see some of the outside national perspective on

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: what every team still needs coming out of free agency. Here.

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's definitely pause for that. Okay, So Carolina

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Panthers have the first pick. Their biggest needs quarterback, edge, rusher,

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver, wide receiver be two for me, but I

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: assume these are in some kind of order. Yeah, wide

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: receivers far from complete, but all the big needs. But

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: they don't have a ton of needs. Yeah right, Um,

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans quarterback, wide receiver, edge the same thing

19
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: as the tops Carolina. They've built some old linemen and

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: they've they've brought in some veterans. Yeah, I think that's correct.

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: For Arizona, they need everything. It's but their top three

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: needs line up exactly with what the Steelers need. I

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: believe maybe I'd add one one other position in here,

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: but instead but defensive line, cornerback, offensive line. Those are

25
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: broad terms, though, I D tackle, d e OT. I mean, well,

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: they're saying they're they're saying edge. If you need, you

27
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: need something a defensive end. Their defensive line is atrocious

28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: right now. I prey bad, really bad. Both lines scrimmage

29
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: are really bad for them, and corners really bad. And

30
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: they're secondaries, yeah, secondaries. But it's a bad football team.

31
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: It is the Indianapolis Colts at four, quarterback, cornerback, offensive line,

32
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: and it's specifying go left tackle. I mean they got guards,

33
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: they got Yeah, this is why they're in a bad

34
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: spot right now because two of the teams, two of

35
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: the three teams ahead of you need a quarterback. Right

36
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: two are gonna be gone. At least the team at

37
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: three doesn't need a quarterback. But do you want to

38
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: trade up to three to ensure that you get the

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: third best quarterback in this draft? When somebody else I

40
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: guarantee you when we get down here, lower down in

41
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the top ten. There's going to be some other teams

42
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: there to have need a quarterback, no question. I mean,

43
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: this is lying season, but there's a rumor out today

44
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Seattle wants to get the three for Richardson. Well, that

45
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: would not be hard for them to do, if there's

46
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: any truth to that, or even if you're afraid, if

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 1: you're the Colts, oh we better get the three. Well,

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: it's going to cost you that third round corner that

49
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: is your second biggest need you know what I mean,

50
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: right right? I mean you know it's it's it's it's

51
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: really a tough spot for them, which again is why

52
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: if I were there, might be kicking the tires on

53
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson without question, without a doubt, because you know

54
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: he's he's better than the fourth best cornerback in this

55
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: or for fourth best quarterback in this draft. Yeah, and

56
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: hands down. And there's a misconception too. You could call

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens directly and say we don't want to give

58
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: you two first, we'll give you four and next year

59
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: second or something else that works out for you know,

60
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it doesn't have to be the deal.

61
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: You know, you work things out with Lamar and the team.

62
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: The trade does not have to be for two first,

63
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: you can make another deal for the guy. We could

64
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: trade a player for that matter, you know, right. Yeah.

65
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: At five, Seattle biggest needs defensive line, wide receiver, off

66
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: defensive line. You mentioned a quarterback situation. It's interesting because

67
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: they have another first round draft pick right right, so

68
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: they can afford if they want to trade up from

69
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: five to three, trade number five and you know, a

70
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: third round pick or whatever, you know, whatever that cost

71
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: is to move up and jump ahead of Indianapolis. I

72
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: would have quarterback in their top three needs. Yeah. I

73
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: don't trust you, know, Smith, No, I mean you're a

74
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: big picture thinking here. At six, the Lions, defensive line,

75
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: defensive back, tight end. I'm glad they put tight end

76
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: in there. It's easiest think defensive defense, defense. Yeah, Hawkinson

77
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: left the whole. At seven, the Raiders, they're another team

78
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: that could trade up, even though they've got a quarterback.

79
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garopolo. Jimmy's not a long term answer for them, No,

80
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: no chance. But their biggest needs are cornerback, offensive line,

81
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: defensive line. I don't disagree with any of that. I mean,

82
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: I think their whole defense not named Max Crosby could

83
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: get reshuffled. Right. At eight, the Falcons edge rusher, cornerback,

84
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and lay At Lisa's knocked out of few.

85
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: They could have had seven. Now they're down to three

86
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: or four. Edge is a big deal. They haven't rushed

87
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: the passer well, I mean even average for years. Yeah,

88
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: I mean they can't possibly take another wide receiver at eight.

89
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: I would think they've used to. They've used top ten

90
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: draft picks the last two seasons pass catchers. They signed

91
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: Mack Hollins too. I mean, he's an NFL wide receiver.

92
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: They're fine a pass catcher for as much throw the ball, right, yeah? Right?

93
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: At nine, the Bears defensive line, offensive line, cornerback. They're

94
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: d lines about as bad as are as the league.

95
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: It's Arizona bad. Yeah. Uh. The Eagles attend safety, defensive line,

96
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: running back. I guess they lost Gardner, Johnson, and Epps

97
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: and only replaced them with Edmunds. So yeah, I mean

98
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big need for them. Yeah. Did they

99
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: say running back? Running back? Yeah? I mean I like Penny,

100
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: but I mean how much I wouldn't trust him? Right right?

101
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: I like the signing, but I would not trust him

102
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: for the Titans offensive line, wide receiver, defensive back, quarterback, quarterback.

103
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: You can go on down the list like it's it's

104
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: not cardinal bad, but it's pretty bad. There's not many

105
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: answers right now on that team. Yeah, d tackles like

106
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: where they're good. That's about it. That's about it. Yeah,

107
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: at twelve, the Texans with their second pick, well, we

108
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: already went through their needs. The Jets are at thirteen

109
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: offensive line, defensive tackle, safety. I guess you're ignoring the

110
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'll have a quarterback on there. You know,

111
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: that's the huge elephant in the room. I mean, if

112
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: you assume that Rogers is coming, which I guess many

113
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: of us do. Yeah, I would tackle would be my

114
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: number one pick if I were. Now see, here's the

115
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: other problem for the Jets. Okay, so let's say you

116
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: do make that trade with the Packers, but they have

117
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: two second round picks right now, thanks for that trade, right,

118
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: the Elijah More trade. Let's say let's say the Packers

119
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: say we want both of those twos and we'll take another.

120
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: We'll take a three next year or a conditional pick, yeah,

121
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: conditional twenty twenty four. That could be could be a

122
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: first round you know, if Aaron Rodgers wins the MVP

123
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: awarded again, we're getting a first round pick out of this, right,

124
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: right right? I think that's how the deal's gonna end

125
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: up going something similar to that two twos. You're really

126
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna have one real pick because you don't have a

127
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: three because you've traded that in the Elijah More deal too, Right,

128
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: So where are you filling all those needs? At? See?

129
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna take a tackle and roll with

130
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: everything else, which I think Seeter fans will be excited

131
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: for a tackle and the Jets are gonna break your

132
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: heart a little bit, Yeah, a little bit. The Patriots

133
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: of fourteen defensive back, offensive tackle, wide receiver. Yeah, I

134
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: think it's been like every team we've listed thus far

135
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: has defensive back or cornerback somewhere on their an offensive

136
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: line for that matter, no doubt. But I forget who

137
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: said wrote this. You can narrow it down a little.

138
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean a two or forty pounds guy is different

139
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: than the nose, and defensive back is a pretty wide

140
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: net to throw. Yeah. Well, I think though the Patriots

141
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: do need they could take a safety or a corner. Oh,

142
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: they could they have a lot of needs to they

143
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: get a lot of needs. Yeah, it's not. At fifteen

144
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: for the Packers, safety tight end, wide receiver. Agree, Agree, Agree,

145
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: that's really their only defensive need is safety. Amiss. It

146
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: looks like there are lines getting a little old too.

147
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean the box, the rs and those couple. Yeah. Yeah,

148
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: and they have been beaten up the last couple of years.

149
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean they've they've shuffled lineman in another other lineup

150
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: pretty much the last two years. They really have. Yeah,

151
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: it's been a revolving door. Sixteen Washington cornerback, offensive line,

152
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: tight end. I know there a lot of people are

153
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: keeping their fingers crossed on Porter. I can see him

154
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: going right before those studios pick oh yeah, yeah, you

155
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: know yeah, I think that's a good fit for them. Okay.

156
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: Seventeen for the Steelers, they list offensive line, cornerback, defensive line.

157
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: I disagree. Those are in the wrong order. They're in

158
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: the wrong order, and it's pretty obvious it's ot not

159
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: O L correct. Yeah, it's a little here. Yeah, Um,

160
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: they're not. Yeah, they're not just taking the best offensive

161
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: lineman available. It would have to be an offensive tackle

162
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: and apples to oranges. I think cornerback and defensive lineman

163
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: trump that, yes, And I think you can be a

164
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: little vague with D. Lineman. We're talking not someone just

165
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, not a two hundred forty pounder. We're talking

166
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: like the three hundred pound types. D think I'm a

167
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Steelers defensive lineman. Yeah, yeah, he'd better be big enough

168
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: to ride to ride. Yeah, And I do think that's

169
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: your order, corner dt ot. We already did the Lions

170
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: that they have the pick at eighteen Tampa Bay at nineteen.

171
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: They could use all all kinds of stuff offensive line, safety,

172
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: defensive line, quarterback, and they're old line. That's a team

173
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: that really needs a quarterback. That's a team that really

174
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: needs a running back. Oh yeah, I mean they're tight

175
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: ends aren't great anymore. I mean, I guess they're good enough.

176
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: That's small potatoes, but yeah, I mean they at least

177
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: have some pieces, but they need a lot. They need

178
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: several old linemen, they need a quarterback. Seattle's there at

179
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: twenty at twenty one, the Chargers wide receiver, defensive line,

180
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: tight end, and a sneaky one's running back. If you're

181
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: not running back, without a doubt, I mean, I think

182
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: that could be a bijon landing spot twenty two. The

183
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 1: Ravens wide receiver, cornerback, quarnerback, yeah, I mean quarterbacks in

184
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: need even if Lamar plays on the franchise tack right,

185
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: because he's not gonna he's not gonna be signed a

186
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: long term I mean unless they you know, come, I mean,

187
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: if he signs a long term deal with the Ravens,

188
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: that's no longer in need. But the chances of that

189
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: happening seems very slim. Every day that goes by, Yeah,

190
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: like it's more slim than the day before. And even

191
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: if that happens, the needed wide receiver and corner are drastic,

192
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: drastic yeah, yeah, huge. I think that's really one of

193
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: the big reasons why Lamar is so ticked off at

194
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens right now, because they've given him. They've given

195
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: him a junk at wide receiver really bad, like as

196
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: bad as any team in the league in terms of

197
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: allocating resources to pass catchers. I mean, even the tight

198
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: ends they draft or mid round guys, I mean Andrews

199
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: a good player, they hit on one, and then they

200
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: trade Marky's Brown, who was one of the better the

201
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: only one they really hit on. Yeah, I just I

202
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: don't get it. I mean, it's just it's an interesting

203
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: team build that I don't think it's worked out. I

204
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: don't think it is either. I mean, I'm just let's

205
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: say Da Costa is not close to Aussie. But I

206
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: could make that argument. You could certainly make that argument. Yeah.

207
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah at twenty three the Vikings cornerback, defensive line, wide

208
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: receiver Dtackle more than yeah. Yeah, but you could also

209
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: probably put quarterback quarterback in there. Yeah. I think there's

210
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: a real good chance this his cousins last year. Yeah,

211
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: I think he's Yeah, they drafted Mond two years ago.

212
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean I could see he's not there anymore though. Yeah,

213
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: they realized it and took a Day two guy. They

214
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: could do that. I mean, Tanner McKee could end up

215
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: there in the second or third round or something, right, Uh,

216
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: Jacksonville cornerback, offensive tackle, defensive end. I always have a

217
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: hard time coming up with their needs, Like they have

218
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: a lot of b needs. I think offensive line is

219
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: a big one. Yeah, I mean they did lose Taylor. Um.

220
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: They like the Stanford kid though, is why they let

221
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: him go? Um Walker Walker Little. Yeah. I mean it's

222
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: not like they're great anywhere It's not like the Jags

223
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: couldn't use stuff, But in terms of needs, I don't

224
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: think there's are super strong. That's what That's why I

225
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: actually threw this out there there day is like, would

226
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: you consider Bijan there in the first round? Boy, he

227
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: just drafted at n two years ago. They're just so different. Yeah,

228
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, I hear you. It's one five. The Giants

229
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver, offensive line, cornerback, interior line, outside receiver. They

230
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: have four hundred slot receivers. Yeah, and really the whole

231
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: back seven. I mean their secondary. They play so many

232
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: snaps with six and seven defensive backs, and I guarantee

233
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: no one listening can can name seven Giants defensive backs. Yeah,

234
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: for sure at twenty six. The Cowboys defensive line, offensive line,

235
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: tight ends. Yeah, their needs are pretty minimal. I mean

236
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: a couple people have insinuated that if Bijan's there, they're

237
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: just running it up, you know, because he's a lot

238
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: different than Poulard. Poulard's only on a one year deal.

239
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: He's a Texas guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah,

240
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: sell tickets, Emmett or set you know, I mean right,

241
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know the persee can get past that. Pick,

242
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: though I don't know the perssee gets past a lot

243
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: of these places. Yeah, I mean, I was just gonna

244
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: I was going to bring it up when we get

245
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: to the end here, when you look at all the

246
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: defensive line needs right and the pool is very shallow here,

247
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: very thin, very thin. The Bills wide receiver, defensive tackle again,

248
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: and linebacker, but they need to find the new Edmonds.

249
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean, they like keep two backers on

250
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: the field every snap, and that's a stressful position for them.

251
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: The Bengals offensive tackle, tight end, running back. Yeah, I

252
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: don't know that mixing is gonna be a Bengal, which

253
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: would be interesting. I mean, I don't know if Bejean

254
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: gets fast app there's more planted spots in this neighborhood

255
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: than people realize. I don't think he gets down this

256
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: far though I don't either. I don't either, which is again,

257
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: if I'm at seventeen, I'm fielding calls left and right

258
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: for Beijan. Like he gets past, he gets out of

259
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: the top fifteen, he becomes an extreme value because shortly

260
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: after the Steelers pick, there's a lot of landmines that

261
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: he could get nabb dub if you really wanted a

262
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: guy the other Sneaky one is right before the Steelers pick,

263
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: which wouldn't be bad if the Steelers either, but Washington

264
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: could take him too. Yeah, right at twenty nine, the

265
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: Saints pick acquired from the forty nine Ers through the

266
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins and the Denver Broncos. I love Dnett defensive line,

267
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: tight end. I don't know about tight end, offensive linement.

268
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: Jennings dude, they like a lot. Yeah, I mean you

269
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: could play with him. Oh yeah yeah. Their d tackle

270
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: room got really bad all of a sudden. Yeah, yeah again.

271
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they do not get past there. Brussee

272
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: doesn't make it. I've seen people say, well they could

273
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: take Brussee at thirty two. No, no, I don't think

274
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: they could. I mean maybe you could, you know, cross

275
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: your fingers and get him at twenty two. You can't

276
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: get him at thirty two. I don't think. No, it's

277
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: not going to happen unless there's met a sheet for

278
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. It's wide receiver, offensive tackle edge. Their whiteouts

279
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: aren't very good. They really aren't. They really really aren't, right.

280
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: I mean, if you could get Zay Flowers or Addison

281
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: or you know, do you trust skuy More at this point,

282
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, right, a tackle would be very beneficial,

283
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: you know, the Tennessee kid or Antoine Harrison or Duan Jones,

284
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: somebody like that. I mean, so I could see tackle

285
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: or receiver for sure. For the teams that don't have

286
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick, here are their needs. The

287
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: Browns defensive end, linebacker, running back. They don't have a

288
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: pick until day three. Yeah, I know, I think it's

289
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: right up the middle of the defense. I think it's

290
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: DT linebacker, safety, which is exactly where you don't want

291
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: to be bad at. I know, I know, I don't

292
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: love their roster because for this. For the Denver Broncos center,

293
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: edge and running back Jowanta Williams, is don't be thinking

294
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: you're getting a sleeper in your underdog fantasy draft. I

295
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: don't know how much he plays. Yeah. Uh. And then

296
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: the Rams have a pick early, but it'd be great

297
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: to get like Hendon Hooker there too. Yeah. For the Rams,

298
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: it's edge, cornerback, defensive line. They have the worst roster

299
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: in league. They they could use anything. I mean, they

300
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: could go. They could use Hendon Hooker for that matter,

301
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: you know, no doubt about it. And is Aaron Donald

302
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: gonna be their past trade deadline? Is Cooper Cup gonna

303
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: be past straight? You know they need at all for

304
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins tight end, offensive tackle, linebacker. They spent money

305
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: on linebackers, but they're a tough one to find needs

306
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: for offensive Their offensive line is not good. No, it

307
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: would be a line to me Galore. Yeah, I don't

308
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 1: want their running backs, but they paid four of them. Right,

309
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of them for the forty nine ers.

310
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: Offensive line, cornerback and edge definitely the first two. I

311
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: have a right tackle. Yeah. You know how Jason Fitzgerald does.

312
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: He like he's already calculating comp picks for next year. Yeah,

313
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: he has Niners getting already a ton of compics next year,

314
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, because mcglinchey's gone, and you know they've they've

315
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: lost a lot. They've signed him, I mean, but they

316
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: signed like Gerard Grave. That count that cancels out McGlinchey. Yeah,

317
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: that's a wash. You know, So you're not they're not

318
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: gonna get as much as I think as some people

319
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: might think. Well, I think he's factoring in minority candidates. Again,

320
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: they've just been a factory for minority general managers and coaches.

321
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: That's where all the compics are coming from this year.

322
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: They got a ton of things those yeah, and those

323
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: go for two years, so yeah, yeah, So that's that's

324
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: what factors into that kind of See's general manager, you know,

325
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: which is why I don't like it. I don't love

326
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: it either. It has nothing to do with what's happening

327
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: on the field, I know, I know, I mean, I

328
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: understand the logic behind it, and I just don't love

329
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: that the Niners are getting all these third round picks.

330
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: Not because they're more open to hiring minorities than the Steelers, Ravens, Bears, whoever.

331
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: You know. I don't know, I get it, but it

332
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: just seems like they're two different worlds. Yeah, I agree

333
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: with you. I mean, again, I understand why they do it,

334
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: but sure so again, looking here at the needs after

335
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: the teams that draft after the Steelers, everybody in front

336
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: of them is cornerback and cornerback and offensive line, which

337
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: is why they're in front of them because the must

338
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: part Yeah well you know, right, almost everybody behind them

339
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: or all playoff teams is defensive tackle, defensive line. Yeah yeah, yeah, right.

340
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: There's a few cornerbacks in there, but not like there

341
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: are in front of them, but defensive line is a

342
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: massive need for a lot of these teams. And I

343
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: do think they're more big guys than little guys in

344
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: terms of d lineman. But it's still good news for

345
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Will McDon old Northwestern dude, dude, you know Keyon White,

346
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: you know just Colijah can see. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

347
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: it's all good. It's good news for those guys Bersee

348
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: and Bersee. And that's why you know. To me, if

349
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: Bersee is there, I think you take him yeah, more

350
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: and more with the these small moves, and that shouldn't

351
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: move the needle. Maybe just making me think about it

352
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: slightly different that Bersee. It's seventeen. To me, yes, fine,

353
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: cool like it. Where others I might be like, I'm

354
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: gonna at least see what's there. Yeah, yeah, well Matt,
