WEBVTT - 2020 NFL Scouting Combine | Offensive Preview 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:07.680 Practice Patrick rowing touchdowner. What a win for this Miami 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:13.760 Dolphin team. Wow, What is up, Dolphans And welcome to 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.560 the Drive Time Podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins official 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.800 podcast network covering your Miami Dolphins. I am your host, 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:25.200 Travis Wingfield, and as always I am here to bring 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.960 you your daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.400 today's show, we're going to get you prepped for the 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.000 week in Indianapolis. It is scouting combine time, one of 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.919 my favorite times of the year, and today we'll go 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.440 under the hood on the offensive side of the ball 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.000 and talk about the top players descending on Indianapolis this 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.519 week for the combine. We'll get you caught up on 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.279 the workout changes, schedule of events and everything we're going 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.279 to be bringing you this week from Lucas Oil Stadium 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.120 in Indie. As we have our troops on the ground 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.280 at this mecca of an NFL event, we have the 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.040 schedule out for the offensive side of the football, and 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.080 as always, they start with the biggest stars of the game. 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.319 The quarterbacks, receivers and tight ends are up first. They'll 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.600 work out on Thursday, February and a later kickoff. This year, 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:18.480 four o'clock eastern three o'clock local time in Indianapolis. Than Friday, 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.600 we'll get the running backs and offensive line and specialists 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.480 place kickers and punters or people too. On February, that 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.240 too will be at four o'clock eastern. And it's not 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.400 just the time of these combined workouts that are changing. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.920 The drills themselves will be changing as well, and quite 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.800 a bit. A quote from Jeff Foster, the president of 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.480 National Football Scouting, Inc. Via an article on si dot 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.520 com titled changes are coming to the combine and the 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.360 bench press maybe killed next. Foster's quote reads, quote it's 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.800 easier to name the things that haven't changed and quote. 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.880 Foster also gave a quote from an anonymous scout that reads, quote, 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.760 the majority of the combine drills are antiquated and limited 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.520 rel events. We want to evolve. Sure there will be 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.840 a gap of time without the ability to compare current 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.920 to pass, but we need to focus more on the future. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.280 End quote. And we'll cover the defensive changes on tomorrow 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.840 show previewing the defensive side of the ball at the combine, 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.400 and changes are coming to both sides of the ball, 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.200 and we'll start here today talking about the changes on 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.080 the offensive side, as they are now going to time 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.360 the gauntlet drill. And if you haven't watched the combine before, 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.560 the gauntlet drill takes receivers and tight ends and runs 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.120 them down a horizontal line from sideline to sideline and 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.919 they alternate which direction they look at for the football 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.360 coming their way. They have to catch the football. The 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.480 idea is to try to be a hands catcher, not 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.959 let the football into your body, and to stay straight 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.360 on that horizontal line. They are now going to time 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.440 that drill, whereas in the past it was all about 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.600 just securing the catch and getting it done as fast 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.440 as you could. Also, they're going to be adding smoke 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.920 route drills, and this is really a tip of the 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.720 cap to the direction of the modern day game. We've 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.920 seen how popular the screen route has become in modern 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.640 day football and extension of the running game, and a 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.280 smoke route is just a one step hitch route by 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.840 the receiver usually pushes up field and comes back to 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.560 the line of scrimmage, and it's usually an extension of 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.160 the play action game, utilizing misdirection away from the flow 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.040 of the play action, trying to keep the defense off 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.440 balance and keep them honest to all possibilities on any 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.160 given play. They're also going to add screen drills for 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.560 the offensive lineman, as they want to see how these 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.320 big guys move out in space and their athletic ability 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.080 and how control they can be coming into the bag. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.560 And also they're going to remove the rabbit from the 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.120 mirror drill. And if I'm being honest, I'm a tad 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.080 bit bummed about this, because I love those big boys 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.560 trying to joke each other out. You would have one 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.800 offensive lineman shuffle side to side and across from him 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.400 an opponent, a fellow offensive lineman tries to get past 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.280 him with juke moves and lateral movement. But now they 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.880 will no longer ask the fellow lineman to act as 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.960 the rabbit in that drill. They've added sled drills as well, 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.000 a nice nod to the throwback style of the physical 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.680 game of football. Players will push the sled two to 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.040 five yards instead of going up against their counterparts who 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.280 hold a bag. Basically, they're reducing the use of the 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:16.240 players acting as glorified tackling dummies in these drills. So 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.960 plenty of changes on the offensive side. Tomorrow, we'll come 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.360 back and talk about the defensive side. But let's now 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.040 go ahead and break in to the combined preview up 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.760 on Miami Dolphins dot com taking a look at the 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.880 top three players by position, and we're using the Draft 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.880 Networks official ranking board here to get the top three 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.200 players they have rated at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.479 tight end, outside offensive lineman, the tackles and the interior guys, 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.040 the guards and the centers. So again, workouts begin on Thursday, 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.640 and we'll start here with the quarterbacks, and we start 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.640 with the Draft Networks number one quarterback Joe Burrow from 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.760 l s U Heisman Trophy winner, National Championship, potential number 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.560 one overall pick in the draft. This year, everything he 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.360 did came up aces and he led one of college 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.279 football's all time most potent attacks. They played fifteen opponents 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.440 this year. He slayed them all, including seven ranked teams, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.080 en route to a seventy six point three percent completion percentage. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.520 He threw for five thousand, six hundred seventy one yards 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.880 and sixty touchdowns, absurd numbers for this year's Heisman Trophy winner, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.240 and they did it with pro passing concepts led by 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.560 passing game coordinator Joe Brady, who now of course coaches 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.960 in Carolina with Matt Rule on that staff, and Burrow 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.039 dominated the college rankings with that pro style attack. He 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.040 was the point guard of the offense, distributing the football 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.839 out in the quick game better than just about anybody, 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.760 deadly accurate throwing vertically, and he made a number of 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.360 jaw dropping plays as an athlete, both within and outside 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.120 the pocket and with his legs on a weekly basis. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.680 I pulled this quote from an article on ESPN dot 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.640 com from analyst Matt Bowen. Quote, when I watched the 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.120 l s U offense, it is a heavily schemed pro 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.120 style route tree that resembles the New Orleans Saints in 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.120 terms of how they put defensive coverages and defense of 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.920 players in conflict. And what that requires is for an 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.320 elite level quarterback to go through pro progressions to find 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.120 the voids in zone coverage and to find the matchups 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.600 that are created within this offense. End quote, and Joe 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.760 Burrow himself mentioned his leverage a couple of weeks ago 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.480 on a radio interview, and he of course will not 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.919 compete in the on field drills. He is going to 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.039 make himself available for media and team interviews, but he 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.599 will not be on the field in any capacity outside 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.680 of his zip up warm up and being out there 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.080 to cheer on the other guys around him. The number 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.200 two quarterback on the Draft Network's quarterback rankings to a 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:39.640 tongue of Voloa, the Alabama former National champion and Heisman 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.039 runner up, and few collegiate quarterbacks carried the hype that 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.039 followed to into the twenty nineteen season. He had that 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.240 championship under his belt a game when he passed an overtime. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.560 His first full season as a starter was transcendent. He 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.599 played for three coordinators in as many years, and the 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.840 precise south paw. Yes, he's a lefty modified that antiquated 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.200 some tight attack into an aerial display to levels we've 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.560 never before seen in college football, and the accolades and 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.040 praise just pile up from scouts, analysts, and former players. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.840 Trent Dilfer, via an article on The Athletic lauded Tongue 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.760 Voloha's poise, work, ethic, and talent from their time together 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.160 at Nike's Elite eleven camp. Quote, he has poise like 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.960 I've never seen and that goes along with the talent 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.000 that you rarely ever see. His throwing motion is so efficient. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.840 He maximizes everything he draws from the ground up, zero 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.200 wasted motion. Aaron Rodgers is the only one I've seen 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.680 like this, and he grew into it. He wasn't like 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.680 this at this stage. End quote, and of course the 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.920 concern with tongue voloa. His junior season came to an 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.640 abrupt end when a hip injury knocked the quarterback out 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.120 of the Mississippi State game, and as a result to 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.200 Uh also will not participate in the on field drills 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.920 at the scouting combine. He says that his goal is 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.560 to win the medical and to win the interview process 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.320 in Indianapolis this week. His call edge production certainly speaks 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.920 for itself. Consensus All American had eighty seven career touchdowns, 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.920 eleven picks, and twelve point seven yards per pass, and 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:13.000 a completion percentage just a hair under seventy at sixty 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.080 nine point seven percent, the third quarterback on the Draft 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.520 Networks rankings. Justin Herbert the organ product. He had a 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.960 decorated organ career that was punctuated with perhaps his two 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.040 best showings in last year's Pack twelve Championship game and 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.720 the Rose Bowl games. Against Utah and Wisconsin, respectively. He's 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.120 a Eugene native who dreamed of playing for his beloved Ducks, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.120 and he finally accomplished his ultimate goal of winning a 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.840 Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and he did it in some 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.320 unconventional fashion. Herbert is faster than he is quick, but 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.120 he scampered for three touchdowns in that Rose Bowl game, 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.560 tripling his season total coming into that game. He finished 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.120 his college career with ninety five touchdown passes, twenty three picks, 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.040 ten thousand, five hundred forty one yards, and he puts 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.679 some durability concerns to bed by starting all twenty seven 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.240 of his possible twenty seven games to close out his 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.280 junior and senior seasons. And this organ offense, it was 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.000 a run first attack this year under Mario Cristo Ball, 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.120 and that didn't always accentuate the quarterback's best trade. He 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.320 has an absolute howitzer of a right arm and shines 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.680 with his back to the defense on play action and 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.439 bootleg concepts. And speaking of Crista Ball, he has effusive 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.600 praise for his quarterback quote, He's definitely the best quarterback 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.080 I've been around. He can do it all. He's loved 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.640 by his teammates. Everyone just thinks the world of him. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.400 He's a grinder, end quote, and Herbert will be on 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.600 the field for drills this week where he is a 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.800 near lock to impress with the armed talent and throwing 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.680 the football down the field at six ft sixty pounds. 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.080 The scouting Combine is an event that's built for justin Herbert. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.440 How about the guys alongside the quarterback that compliment the 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.320 passing game. I'm talking, of course, about the running backs 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.679 and the draft networks. Number one running back on this 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.199 list is DeAndre Swift from Georgia, and he's actually mocked 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.599 to the Dolphins by three NFL Network Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah, 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.240 Bucky Brooks, and Lanzer Line all have Miami taking DeAndre 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.559 Swift at some point in the first round, and he's 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.800 going to provide an instant shot of offense for whichever 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.000 his new club he goes to. It only took him 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.960 five hundred and fifteen touches to explode for three thousand, 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.520 five hundred and fifty one yards from scrimmage. He put 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.839 up big numbers without using up a lot of tread 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.760 on those tires, and that was primarily as a slashing 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.400 zone runner, but don't get it twisted. He can play 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.360 in any scheme On offense. He's a dynamic pass catching 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.720 option in the past game. His receiving prowess, paired with 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.480 his work and pass protection makes him a three down 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.120 player at the professional level, and that highly talented Bulldog 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.160 offense flowed through its startel back, according to head coach 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.960 Kirby Smart, who said, quote, He's the heart and soul 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.600 of this offense. He's a leader, he's inspirational. The runs 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.760 get fans involved, but Swift gets the team involved with 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.600 all the things he does and says and quote, all 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.880 eyes are gonna be on Swift for his forty yard 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.640 dash time. A time in the four four range is 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.600 a safe bet, and break that four three mark should 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.360 solidify his first round status as the number one running 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.480 back off the board. JK. Dobbins from Ohio State is 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.120 the Draft Networks number two running back, and he burst 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.680 onto the college football scene with a dynamic freshman campaign, 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.080 starting with his debut performance for one and eighty one 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.640 yards on college football's opening night. After a sophomore slump, 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.760 Dobbins returned to dominance, particularly in the Buckey's biggest games. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.480 He had one thousand, eighteen yards and twelve touchdowns on 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:32.400 the ground this year in Ohio states six contests against 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.280 ranked opponents. Dobbin's departs Columbus Ohio as the second all 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.160 time leading rusher in school history, edging out names like 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.599 Ezekiel Elliott and Eddie George. Only Archie Griffin ran for 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:47.000 more yards than the multifaceted Dobbins. NFL Networks Daniel Jeremiah 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.680 praised Dobbins for his work in the passing game from 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.720 his top fifty big Board quote, he had two drops 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.120 against Clemson, but he was reliable every other game I studied. 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.160 He is very aware in pass protection. He'll be a 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.160 dependable star immediately end quote. And for the third running 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.040 back on the Draft Networks big board at tailback, we 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.400 stay in the Big ten and go over to Wisconsin 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.560 for Jonathan Taylor, and you're not gonna find better production 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.760 in college than the former Badger back Jonathan Taylor. With 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.800 fifty five total touchdowns and six thousand, one hundred seventy 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.640 four career rushing yards. The only question left for Taylor 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.120 at this stage is his professional longevity. The focal point 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:29.000 of the bruising Wisconsin ground game. Taylor has nine hundred 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.280 and sixty eight touches on his resume before even getting 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.720 to the pros. He rushed for better than two hundred 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:38.280 yards in twelve of forty one college games. Almost one 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.120 third of his games went for over two bills on 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.199 the ground. He's built like an NFL back, five eleven, 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.240 two hundred and twenty pounds with a compact, thick build. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.160 He's a supreme athlete, which is evident by his high 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.920 school track career, where he won state titles in the 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.960 one hundred meters and four by one hundred relays. His 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.560 peak athletic prowess is topped only by his character, which 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.840 also comes with proof. Taylor was considering attending Harvard, but ultimately, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.720 of course, wound up at Wisconsin, and we in the 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.480 football world collectively, Jonathan Taylor, thank you, sir, for giving 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.440 us the entertainment you have so far in your college career. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.720 Taylor's impact also reverberated throughout the Badger locker room. Quote. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.240 Not only was he the best college running back in 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.120 the history of the game, but he was also the 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.360 greatest person that's played college football end quote, and that 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.240 one comes from his teammate running back Garrett Groshek, the 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:32.040 Wisconsin Badger backup tail back, so high praise for Taylor's production, 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.040 his smarts, and the character of that young man. We 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.959 go over to the wide receivers now. Jerry Judy starts 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.319 us off here from Alabama. His route running is the 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.559 most impressive of the entire class, and that, of course 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.760 is the most crucial critical trait for receivers going to 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.960 the professional level. Nobody's crisper or more sudden than Alabama's 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.319 Jerry Judy. He was uncoverable throughout his career in college. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.360 He has blazing speed and unparalleled change of direction skill set, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.960 and those two things together create separation better than anybody 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.200 else in this draft class at wide receiver, and he 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.200 makes big plays after the catch routine lead. He's an 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.120 All American and he posted video game numbers in his 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.520 time at Tuscaloosa, a two year total of one hundred 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.840 and forty five receptions, two thousand, four hundred seventy eight 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.960 yards and twenty four touchdowns the last two seasons. He 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.239 was a Blitna cough winner in eighteen and a finalist 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:29.120 this past year. In twenty nineteen, seedee Lamb from Oklahoma. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.480 The draft networks number two receiver, and this year's class 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.640 is loaded with run after the catch specialist, but nobody 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.680 tops Seedee Lamb in that category. He makes jaw dropping 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:44.680 highlight reel plays with consistent gaudy production. Lamb has a 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:46.680 case to go off the board in the top ten, 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.720 but he could see a bit of a draft day 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.240 slide because of the depth of this receiver class. Lamb 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.800 average twenty one point four yards per catch this year, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.440 bringing his three year Oklahoma total to an even nineteen 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.640 yards per reception. He's or thirty three touchdowns and wrapped 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.360 up three thousand three d twenty one yards and his 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.840 iconic Sooner career. It will be interesting to see how 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.880 fast he runs, because a lot of folks think that 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.520 a slow time could drop Lamb to the back end 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.720 of the first round. If you want to talk about speed, 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.960 this next guy is not lacking in that category whatsoever. 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.160 And if John Ross's record of a four point to 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.680 to forty yard dash is to be broken this weekend, 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.960 Henry Ruggs, the Alabama product is the one that will 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.480 do it. In fact, he already owns a track record. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.280 He broke the high School seven a one hundred meter 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.840 dash record in Alabama with a blazing time of ten 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.600 point five eight seconds. That speed was on display every Saturday. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.920 This fall down in Alabama, Rugs often looks like his 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.400 film is on fast forward and everybody else is in 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.840 normal motion as they try to chase him down in 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.520 a futile effort. Rugs, the ultimate burner, use that track 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.360 speed to carve up the sec He had seven teen 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.680 point five yards per catching college with twenty five touchdowns. 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.520 He's more than a speed merchant. He's a crafty out runner. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.480 As sudden as he is fast, he is so difficult 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.360 to disrupt off the line of scrimmage and into the route. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.720 Now we move inside from wide receiver into tight end, 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.520 and we start here with the draft Networks number one 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.520 rated tight end Bryson Hopkins out of Perdue, and he 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.640 has a chance to separate from the tight end pack 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.920 at the combine because of his rare athletic traits. Something 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.320 of a souped up wide receiver, Hopkins challenges the scene 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.440 vertically and has the route running repertoire to run the 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.680 full treat Say that five times fast route running repertoire. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.240 His Purdue tape is full of highlight grabs and chunks 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.720 of yardage coming after the catch. At six ft four, 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.520 two one pounds, he's not the most imposing inline blocker. 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.160 In fact, he won't play that position much at the 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.480 next level, but it's not for a lack of trying, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.920 because you watch him out in space getting the job 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.400 done with effort and positioning as a downfield blocker even 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.440 with the occasional case of the drop seas. Hopkins recorded 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:58.120 one thirty grabs, one thousand, nine hundred forty five yards 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.560 and sixteen touchdowns his four years in college at Purdue. 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.080 Hunter Bryant at Washington's up next on the Draft Network's 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.560 tight end big Board rankings. Like Hopkins, Bryant is more 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:12.359 receiver than additional inline blocker. He's explosive in the open 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.560 field after the catch. He plays the ball in the 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:18.080 air exceptionally well and has no issues competing at the 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.880 top of the route pulling down contested throws. Makes him 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.360 a big time red zone threat. He can move across 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.240 the formation from wide splits condensed in the backfield, in 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.080 the slot. Wherever you put him, he can catch the football, 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.879 and despite his limited production in college, he is the 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.800 ultimate mismatch piece at the next level. He caught eight 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.240 five passes for one thousand, three hundred ninety four yards 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.679 and five touchdowns at you Dub and a reason for 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.480 the minimal production he had a season ending knee injury 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.719 that cut his eighteen season short at just five games, 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.840 but he came back last year with an eight hundred 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.320 twenty five yards season for the Washington Huskies. Cole Commet 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.600 at Notre Dame is our final tight end here, and 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.840 playing at Notre Dame, he was asked to play in 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.159 line more than his counter parts at Washington and per 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.879 Due respectively. He's a smooth athlete with the most reliable 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.439 hands across the entire tight end class. He went for 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.120 five fIF six touchdowns in the run first fighting Irish 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.879 offense this year, and he uses his six fourth frame 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.440 to work down the middle of the football field between 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.200 the numbers. He's a two sport athlete and those guys 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.000 tend to have more fluidity, and this former baseball star 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.840 displays natural balance and feel for the position. He operates 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.440 out of a three point stance the inline position with regularity, 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.040 and he also shines as a red zone target. How 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.680 about the guys on the offensive line. I know Dolphins 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.320 fans are craving an offensive line, so we start here 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.520 with Jedrick Will's Alabama the number one tackle on the 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.600 board here for the Draft Network, and will sits at 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.080 poll position because of two reasons. One, he's an absolute 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.560 monster mahler who gets out in space and runs people over. 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.679 But two, he is so adept and smooth with his 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:56.840 ability to mirror and move in past protection. He's a 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.600 natural kneebender. He easily recognizes games in the posing pass 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.760 rush and is quick to wall off those stunts, those twists, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.960 or those delayed blitzers. He's a powerful striker that can 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.840 end a rep early with a devastating shot across his 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.119 man's bow. Willis is scheme diverse, with the mean streak, 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.280 and intelligent to make multiple Pro Bowls at the next level. 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.320 He capped a tremendous career with a big performance in 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.080 this year's Citrus Bowl. In a position where other players 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.640 might choose to skip the game, he said, quote I'd 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.840 still play just because I want to be out there 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:29.159 for my brothers and play for the last time in 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:33.560 an Alabama uniform. And quote up next from Iowa Tristan works, 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.080 and there has been some speculation that maybe he moves 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.200 inside to guard as a professional. He's six ft five 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.440 thirty two pounds. He's built like a house. He has 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.680 the length and thickness and anchor to play and succeed 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.520 anywhere across the offensive line. He did spend time at 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.800 both right and left tackle, but he finished up this 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.080 last season mostly on the right side. Now, speed rushers 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.160 can get him with their explosive getoffs. Think about Cam 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.320 Wake and his prime giving Worse some fits. It's the 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.160 mention of moving to guard and his kickslide and recovery 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.600 speed might be a bit slow, but he does have 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.480 hammers for hands, and once Worse snatches the defender, it's 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.280 game over man. As he turns and drives players out 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.119 of their respective gaps. It's fun to watch. His college 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.240 coach Kirk Ference thinks that guard might be the best option. 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.240 Quote you play a guy like that inside, He's basically 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.000 going to kill guys. He's a dominant player that way 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.200 and quote and speaking of killing guys, go check out 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.399 McKay Beckton's tape from Louisville, the number three tackle on 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.200 the board here for the Draft Network. He is a 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.600 massive three hundred and seventy seven pounds six ft seven 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.479 and this quote from Daniel Jeremiah, who has him at 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.520 the number four pick to the New York Giants, and 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:45.159 his initial mock draft sites that size. Quote, he's a 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.920 mahler in the run game, and he's shockingly nimble and 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:51.640 pass protection, and quote he ragged dolls guys out there. 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.080 I made a reference in the article on Miami Dolphins 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.920 dot Com to the Sandric Bullock movie The blind Side 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.680
