Speaker 1: Visit JD power dot com Slash Awards. He's the Drive
Speaker 1: with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on your home of
Speaker 1: the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson and
Speaker 1: Matt As we have done, done, uh, pretty much over
Speaker 1: the last I don't know what two months we finish
Speaker 1: up talking nothing but draft here and looking at a
Speaker 1: mock drafter doing one of ourselves. Well, today we're gonna
Speaker 1: look at a mock draft that's out there. Jordan Reid
Speaker 1: posted this one on ESPN, and it's a full seven
Speaker 1: round mock. I would not want Did you imagine this
Speaker 1: would take you days to put this together? Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And you boy, maybe I want to change this pick. Well,
Speaker 1: then you gotta change like an entire right or you
Speaker 1: have this thing all ready to go and then somebody
Speaker 1: makes a trade. Yeah, bro, yeah, forget about it. You're
Speaker 1: spending two hours switching everything around. So Jordan reads kind
Speaker 1: of an up and coming young draft nick and I've
Speaker 1: heard him on podcasts and I've been impressed, um impressed
Speaker 1: with the putting together a seven round bock. That's not easy,
Speaker 1: but I thought this would be fun. Whether we agree
Speaker 1: with the picks or not. Is it's kind of a
Speaker 1: blend of when you and I do a mock or
Speaker 1: when we analyze somebody's mock. You know, because you can
Speaker 1: go well in the fifth round, they wouldn't take you know,
Speaker 1: we can really do it through the steeler's eyes this
Speaker 1: way right right, So we'll just roll through the first
Speaker 1: round here, uh Aidan Hutchinson the Aguars. Malik Willis goes
Speaker 1: to the Lions at two. At three, Evan Neil to
Speaker 1: the Texans at four. Of the Jets stake Cabon Thibodeaux five.
Speaker 1: The Giants steak Akwanu six kenn He Pickett to the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Two quarterbacks off the board. Uh. The Giants
Speaker 1: at seven take Trayvon Walker. At eight, the Falcon staate
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's at nine, the Seahawks take Sauce Gardner. At ten,
Speaker 1: the Jets stake Garrett Wilson. That's pretty, that's gets just
Speaker 1: getting pretty jockey. Yeah, two quarterbacks is the only thing
Speaker 1: that to me is even worth talking about, you know.
Speaker 1: And I really think pick it's gonna be a Panther,
Speaker 1: but Will is going to to see it. Will is
Speaker 1: still sitting there twenty see it. I don't know what
Speaker 1: to make this class, you know. Yeah. At eleven, Washington
Speaker 1: takes Drake London, who I'm I'm warming up two more
Speaker 1: every day and I turn on every time I turn
Speaker 1: on his tape, I'm like, oh, yeah, find out a
Speaker 1: little something about him. It's always good stuff. Yeah. In
Speaker 1: a in a draft where there aren't many big body
Speaker 1: receivers who are athletic, he is. He is a nice
Speaker 1: calling card there. Those are on the forty. But you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: at twelve, the Vikings steake there extinctly. At thirteen, the
Speaker 1: Texans stake Jordan Davis. At fourteen, the Ravens stake Jermaine Johnson.
Speaker 1: At fifteen, the Eagles take Trent McDuffie. Charles Cross falls
Speaker 1: all the way down to sixteen, where he goes to
Speaker 1: the Saints that would fit well for them, that would
Speaker 1: be perfect for them. Right now it's seventeen. Trevor Penning
Speaker 1: goes to the Chargers, be perfect for them too. At eighteen,
Speaker 1: the Eagles stake George Carl Loftus. At nineteen, the Saints
Speaker 1: teake Jamison Williams. Bring, Okay, I keep people make fun
Speaker 1: of me thinking, boy, the Saints aren't gonna do this.
Speaker 1: I think the Saints are gonna take a tackle in
Speaker 1: a receiver. I think they'd like Jamis. I know been
Speaker 1: Jamis apologists. I think they're very happy with this. And um,
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a move to trade up
Speaker 1: again to go get you know, Cody Pickett or car
Speaker 1: Hour or somebody like that. All that being said, I'm
Speaker 1: sitting here looking at this mock too. You and I
Speaker 1: are gonna we're gonna disagree with read on who the
Speaker 1: Steelers pick here. Absolutely, but the first nineteen really couldn't
Speaker 1: have gone any worse for the Steelers. Absolutely not. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: um at twenty as a Steelers taking Zion Johnson. I
Speaker 1: love Zion Johnson. Yeah, but I don't think that's going
Speaker 1: to happen. Who would you take? Well? On my list
Speaker 1: of twenty players that we talked about last Friday, I
Speaker 1: had number twenty one I think is my number twenty,
Speaker 1: Guy Lloyd, because I didn't have Picket on that top twenty,
Speaker 1: and I had Devin Lloyd there. Okay, yeah, I'm pulling
Speaker 1: mine up now. Who didn't I probably would take tax Hill.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was still still he was on my
Speaker 1: list as well. He was a little bit higher up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that that would be the move I would make there.
Speaker 1: It's twenty one. He has the Patriots taking Devon Lloyd.
Speaker 1: It's twenty two, the Packers take Crystal Lave. I would
Speaker 1: only I only have three three receivers on the Steelers list,
Speaker 1: and all three of them were gone in that top nineteen. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know that I went to I want to
Speaker 1: take Lave or John Dotson. I don't think I want
Speaker 1: to Taymber. It's twenty yeah, Alve worries me. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there are three I would take in Heartbeat, though it's
Speaker 1: twenty three to Cardinals state Deavante Wyatt. At twenty four,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys stake Tyler Linderbaum, who didn't take my list.
Speaker 1: People were shot that he didn't make my people were
Speaker 1: shocked he didn't make my list of twenty it's it's
Speaker 1: not a fit. He doesn't the player. Yeah, it's the
Speaker 1: same reason why they won't take Zion Johnson, right right,
Speaker 1: I mean, how many guards, how many guards and centers
Speaker 1: do you need? No, I think that's set, and I
Speaker 1: like Leonard Baum. But I've also been told that don't
Speaker 1: be surprised when Traylon Barks ends up in Dallas with
Speaker 1: the Arkansas Jerry Jones connection. Yeah, that's that's possible. The
Speaker 1: Bill Steak Andrew Booth, he was, yeah, perfect fit. Twenty six,
Speaker 1: the Titans take Traylon Burks. I get that after the catch,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. Twenty seven the Bucks take Kenyan Green
Speaker 1: at the Packers take Travis Jones. He's not going to
Speaker 1: be there in the second round. Fo, he's not. No.
Speaker 1: At twenty nine, the Chief Steak boy A Mafe and Doatson.
Speaker 1: I like that back to back, and then thirty they
Speaker 1: take John Dotson. You'll take that if you're Kansas City.
Speaker 1: No dack shilled here though. Um At thirty one the
Speaker 1: Bengal State carrier Elam two, the Lions take Nakobe Dean. See.
Speaker 1: I like that for the Lions. You might they already
Speaker 1: had Willis. Maybe you get your quarterback of the offense
Speaker 1: and the defense, you know, I mean, uh, Dean has
Speaker 1: all the intangibles, all the leadership, get everyone aligned, right,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that'd be a nice pickup for
Speaker 1: them as leaders. You know, the lines of scrimmage aren't
Speaker 1: so bad. Round two starts. Dax Viel goes to the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: Lions take Christian Watson to Quum Brisker to the Jets.
Speaker 1: This is the problem if you don't take a safety
Speaker 1: in the first This is where this is where all
Speaker 1: those guys go. The Giants take quay Walker. Uh, that's
Speaker 1: the neighborhood he's going in. Yeah. Thirty seven, Kyler Gordon
Speaker 1: goes to the Texans. Uh At Bocketty goes to the
Speaker 1: A thirty eight to the Jets. This is a nice
Speaker 1: neighborhood here. I like all these guys. Yeah, right, I know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good spot. We're gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: fun talking before Friday's you know draft. There's gonna be
Speaker 1: a bunch of really good good players there. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: Bears take Tyler Smith at thirty nine. Matt Corrall goes
Speaker 1: at forty two is the Seahawks. Drake Jackson to the
Speaker 1: Seahawks and their with their back to back picks the
Speaker 1: address out of usc The Colts at forty two take
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter. I'd be thrilled with that if I were
Speaker 1: the Colts. Yeah, absolutely thought, well, let him learn behind
Speaker 1: Ryan a little bit. Yeah, I like that a lot.
Speaker 1: The Falcon steak to Marvin Lee Owl out of Texas,
Speaker 1: A and M. At forty three forty the Brown steak
Speaker 1: Perry and Winfrey, the defensive lineman out of Oklahoma. At
Speaker 1: forty five, the Ravens take Trek Woolen. I like that
Speaker 1: a lot for them because he doesn't have to play
Speaker 1: this year, he doesn't have to play, right a right,
Speaker 1: I like that a lot for them. If forty six,
Speaker 1: the Vikings take Jalen Petree. Okay, I like this next
Speaker 1: one too for Washington. Washington takes Yeah, Washington takes Sam how.
Speaker 1: At forty eight, the Bears take sky More. Oh we're
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're sitting with our fingers cross going. Boy,
Speaker 1: he's getting close. At forty nine, the Saints Steake Louis Scene. Okay,
Speaker 1: that being said, though, Dale, remember we already have Daxton Hill. No,
Speaker 1: we don't. Well, we were if we were making if
Speaker 1: we were making a pit we would. But that that's
Speaker 1: not who he took. But I'm pretending we we You
Speaker 1: and I took Daxton Hill already. Yeah, but he took
Speaker 1: Zion Johnson. Well he's wrong. Well I know that, but
Speaker 1: we're we're looking at his draft here and we're trying
Speaker 1: to figure out, like, what do the Steelers come out
Speaker 1: of this draft with it's fifty the Chiefs take a Jabo.
Speaker 1: Oh you gotta like that. Yeah, the Mafe too. At
Speaker 1: fifty one, the Eagles take Christian Harris. Okay, that would
Speaker 1: fit the bill. At fifty two, of the Steelers take
Speaker 1: Fadai and Mathis So two big tough flyman types. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two big lineman. They pass on George Pickens. He goes
Speaker 1: with the next pick. See that's why I wanted to
Speaker 1: do this draft, because Matt and Dale have Daxton Hill.
Speaker 1: I think Matt and Dale take Matt Pickens. Matt and
Speaker 1: Dale would have Hill and Pickens, right, and I'm writing
Speaker 1: these down as weak. We have Hill and Pickens, he
Speaker 1: has Zion and Mathews. I like our draft better, which
Speaker 1: I should. Yeah, but we're right and he's We're right
Speaker 1: and he's wrong. Uh. Fifty four, the Patriots take John
Speaker 1: Machi fifty. The Cardinals take Roger McCreery. Jalen Tilbert goes
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys at fifty six. Breece Hall to the Bills,
Speaker 1: the first running back off the board. Uh. Jamari Sailor
Speaker 1: goes to the Falcons of fifty eight, keep him in date.
Speaker 1: The Packers take Trey McBride. Do you see Tray McBride
Speaker 1: ran four or five four? I dumped him, moved him
Speaker 1: from my to my second tight end. I think he's
Speaker 1: back the number one. I mean, that's a pretty good time.
Speaker 1: That's a really good time. Yeah, hey boy, he had
Speaker 1: I think Rogers would love that. And he has great hands.
Speaker 1: He's just catching everything. Yeah. Uh. Tampa Bay takes Logan Hall. Okay. Uh.
Speaker 1: San Francisco takes Cam Jurgen's the center out of Nebraska
Speaker 1: super athlete. Yeah. The Chiefs take Martin Emerson the cornerback
Speaker 1: into Mississippi State, like the highest I've seen him go.
Speaker 1: The Bengals at sixty three take Gilanni Woods the tight
Speaker 1: end out of Virginia. That's the kind of project they
Speaker 1: can afford to take now. And then at sixty four,
Speaker 1: Bernard Raymond goes to Central Michigan. Wow. I mean he's
Speaker 1: over age, he's not a super great prospect, but I
Speaker 1: still think he's more of a first than late second. Guy,
Speaker 1: did you see you're talking. You're talking about get kis
Speaker 1: teammate the other day, and you mentioned that get Key
Speaker 1: has short arms. You along, Bernard Raymond's arms are no,
Speaker 1: Is it a problem? They're half an inch longer than
Speaker 1: get Keys gets get Keys thirty two in a in
Speaker 1: a quarter, Bernard Raymond's thirty two and three quarters. I
Speaker 1: gotta taktunity. You know. Dane Brugler's the Beast. You know
Speaker 1: that came out last week? Yeah, great for that, because
Speaker 1: you just sit there and look at all the times.
Speaker 1: That's why I think that's where I saw it at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right for that age I've been citing. The age
Speaker 1: is a lot too, and that's a good good little
Speaker 1: nugget there. Round three will just hit on some of
Speaker 1: the A f C. North. I don't think we read
Speaker 1: every some of the more interesting picture. Jacksonville kicks off
Speaker 1: Day three or round three with Dylan Parham Center at Memphis.
Speaker 1: Greg Doulcitch goes to the Giants at sixty seven the Texans.
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker is interesting here, Yeah, Kenneth Walker at sixty
Speaker 1: eight to the Texans. Uh Channing Tindall goes at seventy
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars. Okay Um at Ingram big nose tackle
Speaker 1: type out of L s U. No, I'm sorry, he's
Speaker 1: alignment the big guard. Yeah, goes to the Bears. The
Speaker 1: Colts get Abraham Lucas from Washington State at seventy three.
Speaker 1: I like the Ravens. Pick here at seventy six. Rashid
Speaker 1: Walker at seventy six, goes to the Ravens. Josh Pascal
Speaker 1: at seventy seven to the to the Vikings. The Brown
Speaker 1: stook Alec Pierce at eight but we have Pickens. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't, but he's wrong. I like it. Pick
Speaker 1: by the Chargers charges get Leo Chanal, the Texas get
Speaker 1: Killil should here all those three back to back picks.
Speaker 1: Kirby Joseph goes to the Giants. Okay, Isaiah Spiller to
Speaker 1: the Falcons. That would be a nice fantasy pick there.
Speaker 1: Oh no, the Steelers are taking your guy. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: oh no, this this draft makes me want a puke.
Speaker 1: Uh eight three the Eagle Stake one Del Robinson, who
Speaker 1: would have been a consideration there, but we already pickings.
Speaker 1: Well he doesn't, he hasn't, he hasn't taking Daniel freaking Filele.

Speaker 1: Visit JD Power dot Com Slash Awards. Daniel I don't
Speaker 1: freaking for le. I'm just scanning here too. Like petite
Speaker 1: free airs on the board, I would take him over yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean if you're just even I'm just thinking tackles blah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this draft stinks. Um. I might take Troy Anderson though.
Speaker 1: In our draft Hill pickings Troy Anderson yea. The Patriots
Speaker 1: take Jay let Lemar Davis. He's a nice prospect too.
Speaker 1: We haven't talked a lot about him. No, I do
Speaker 1: like him too, Bett, Matthew Butler. It goes to eighty
Speaker 1: six D'Angelo Malone at Western Kentucky goes to the Cowboys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: petite free air as you mentioned, that goes to the
Speaker 1: Titans at nine, Cam Taylor Britt. I would rather have
Speaker 1: it goes to the Buccaneers at Nick Nick Cross. Nick Cross,
Speaker 1: he didn't even draft the safety yet. He hadn't even
Speaker 1: drafted a safety, and Nick Cross would be a Steeler
Speaker 1: in this situation. Yes, said, they're not taking two offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Nick Cross his roommate and in
Speaker 1: college was Dino Tomlin. Yeah, I mean they might have
Speaker 1: a little insight on him. Yeah. Uh, Kansas City gets
Speaker 1: Troy Anderson. I don't know if they need Troy Anderson.
Speaker 1: I guess they did get rid of Hutchins, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they do either. I mean they
Speaker 1: drafted a second round linebacker two years in a row. Bot, Yeah,
Speaker 1: how many I mean off ball linebackers. Didn't the Bengals
Speaker 1: take Max Mitchell out of Louisiana. Lafay didn't. That makes
Speaker 1: sense for him. Uh, Carson Strong goes to the Saints
Speaker 1: at I think some teams are really gonna like him.
Speaker 1: Some are not gonna even consider him. But I like
Speaker 1: the kids. I mean I had Uh. He's one of
Speaker 1: the guys that actually had a one on one conversation
Speaker 1: with at the Uh. I bet he was impressive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a good kid, like like a lot of what
Speaker 1: he had to say, I mean coming he shout, coming
Speaker 1: back and playing six months after that surgery when he
Speaker 1: was not supposed to play for a year. Huge easily
Speaker 1: could have sat up the season. Yeah. Shows do you
Speaker 1: know where I'm rooting for him? I want him to
Speaker 1: go in this neighborhood to Tampa Bay. Yeah, then pocket
Speaker 1: passer downfield. I know arians isn't there, but that's you know,
Speaker 1: that would be a good fit for him. That's that's
Speaker 1: kind of the offense. Yeah, yeah, my Gi Sanders goes
Speaker 1: to the Browns at the Ravens then go at a
Speaker 1: hundred and take Zach Carter out of Florida defensive lineman.
Speaker 1: I get another safety I like. Brian Cook goes to
Speaker 1: the Eagles at one on one. The Steelers haven't taken
Speaker 1: a safety and they're all gone now. Although I think
Speaker 1: we can look at this two ways that it's kind
Speaker 1: of a half full, half empty thing. If you could
Speaker 1: potentially get a guy like Cook around the hundredth pick,
Speaker 1: that's pretty promising for the Steelers if they go quarterback,
Speaker 1: wide receiver, you know what I mean or whatever. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no no doubt. But they don't have a pick
Speaker 1: around the Hunter. That's the problem, the problem. James Cook
Speaker 1: goes to the Dolphins back to back Cooks. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Chiefs take Isaiah Likely. How about that? Yeah, we were
Speaker 1: just talking about McBride. Likely can really run two think
Speaker 1: it's terrible Pro day, but boy he can really run. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Rams take Cold Strange, that's what they needed picked.
Speaker 1: Marcus Jones goes to the forty niners with the final
Speaker 1: pick of Day two, kicking off Day three. Remember in
Speaker 1: this draft, the Steelers have gotten a guard, an offensive tackle,
Speaker 1: and what was the other pick they had a defensive
Speaker 1: line on mathis for Lele blah blah blah. Although Matt
Speaker 1: and Dale took Backston, Hill, Pickens, and Anderson. Yes, uh,
Speaker 1: we're winning looking here. The Ravens at one ten took
Speaker 1: Darian Beavers. I like him more and more too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Browns took Brian Asamoa, the linebacker out of Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the linebacker they took last year,
Speaker 1: though they're a little bit uh j T. Woods. The
Speaker 1: safety goes to at A Baylor who can run and
Speaker 1: has nine interceptions the last two seasons. He goes to
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at we talked about it ends a little bit.
Speaker 1: I like Ruckert to the Saints. I think Rockerd is
Speaker 1: gonna be a good bro. Yeah, I think so as well.
Speaker 1: Not for the Steeler has probably been a good bro.
Speaker 1: Marquise Bell goes to the Cowboys and other safety off
Speaker 1: the board. The Ravens at eight took Kevin Austin, the
Speaker 1: wide receiver out of Notre Dame. Uh, there's a long oh.
Speaker 1: I like this pick for the Steelers though he has
Speaker 1: the Steelers taking Taekwon Thornton, the wide receiver out of
Speaker 1: Baylor at one thirty eight. He can run, No, he
Speaker 1: can run. Yeah, I would gladly take him at one
Speaker 1: thirty eight. But if you don't ever receive run the
Speaker 1: board which and reads he does not, we already have pickens.
Speaker 1: I would even consider double it up with those two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Ravens and have two more picks here to close
Speaker 1: out the round. Uh oh. Cincinnati took Eric Johnson to
Speaker 1: defensive tackle in the Missouri state at one thirty sixties
Speaker 1: or compensatory picks his neighborhood. Ravens take Sam Williams, ed
Speaker 1: dresser out of Mississippi. But he can run. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like a fourth three guy. I like the other
Speaker 1: Ravens pick here. At the end of the right, it
Speaker 1: took Demon Clark. He's not gonna play though this year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean Para McQueen a year from now too.
Speaker 1: Lsu guys very different. We also don't know if he
Speaker 1: ever plays again. It's a back, it's a back issue.
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be that's gonna be dicey for him.
Speaker 1: Leading off Round five is Dominique Robinson, the edge rusher
Speaker 1: of Miami. It's pretty good value for a round five.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of names you're in round five that
Speaker 1: are kind of interesting. Yeah, look at here, Uh Neil Ferrell,
Speaker 1: Ferrell those at one forty eight to the Bears. Um
Speaker 1: out of Washington. Butler, Percy Butler, the safety out of
Speaker 1: Louisiana goes to the Seahawks. Kate Otton goes at one
Speaker 1: fifty five to the Cowboys. Uh, San Sterling Weatherford six
Speaker 1: four six four, like two pounds and ran Us. I
Speaker 1: think he ran a sub four because the Patriots. I
Speaker 1: bet the Patriots are very much like him. Yeah. Tree
Speaker 1: Castro fields to the Chargers at won sixty. All these
Speaker 1: names I think would be lovely Steeler editions in this neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Back to back running back picks with the with the
Speaker 1: Eagles and Jets. The Eagles take Brian Robinson, the Jets
Speaker 1: takes a mere White. Um, okay, yeah that somebody's running
Speaker 1: backs in that neighborhod are pretty decent too, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: Damian Damian relevant. Damian Pierce goes at one sixty nine
Speaker 1: to the Titans. Those are three of my favorite Tier
Speaker 1: two running backs. Yeah right, the Bengal Steake, Michael McFadden,
Speaker 1: the linebacker out of Indiana. Zack Tom went to the
Speaker 1: Packers one too. I think he's had a chance for
Speaker 1: pretty good pro. Yeah. The final pick of the round
Speaker 1: is Damari Mathist to the Colts, the cornerback out of
Speaker 1: Pit Pit. Dude, right and your boy get you want
Speaker 1: to pick before the way the Patriots drafted it one seventy.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite tight end sleepers here Daniel Bellinger
Speaker 1: at a San Diego State. Yeah, you've been talking about
Speaker 1: him a little bit. Um, that's what they need. More
Speaker 1: tight ends. Yeah, just string tight end. Uh. Looking here.
Speaker 1: Around six, Danny Gray goes to the Vikings at one four.
Speaker 1: I'm gladly use on him. Matt Well let's go goes
Speaker 1: to the Bills. Yeah, that seems a little late too.
Speaker 1: Bow Melton Fron of my wide receiver sleepers goes out
Speaker 1: of Rutgers goes to the San Francisco forty seven. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: day seems late. Ridgeway goes at the one nine. He
Speaker 1: doesn't rushur passor no. He's a big, tough guy in
Speaker 1: the middle that you don't want to fight in the
Speaker 1: same same thing with the next guy on the list.
Speaker 1: There goes to the Chargers. Noah Ellis out of Idaho.
Speaker 1: He's another big If you watch a bunch of him,
Speaker 1: he's really odd. He's got a bunch of dudes older
Speaker 1: than him and his family that are in the league.
Speaker 1: But he like explodes out of his snap and just
Speaker 1: he doesn't play like a nose tackle even though he's massive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's massive, massive massive. The Ravens take Licida Smith, guard
Speaker 1: out of Virginia Tech, the Brown State, kd York a
Speaker 1: kicker out of l s U. Right, Cameron Dicker went
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys, the kicker out of Texas. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: Steelers here to eight take Ellis Brooks, linebacker at a
Speaker 1: Penn State. He does. He's like a four night He's
Speaker 1: a classic middle linebacker, old school neck rollo. I run
Speaker 1: a four nine two fifty pounds. Like, how does he
Speaker 1: fit with the Steelers at all? Take on fullbacks all day?
Speaker 1: You know, right, I don't see that at all. Like
Speaker 1: this is a wealth of talent here, but yeah, the
Speaker 1: Bengal stake Matt henningson Edge restaurant of Wisconsin. Justin Schaefer's
Speaker 1: going pretty late here to fifteen to the Cardinals. Lucas
Speaker 1: crawl from Pit goes to the Chargers tight end at
Speaker 1: to fourteen Jordan's stout the Penn State punter goes to
Speaker 1: the Rams to eighteen. Uh. Then we fall down to
Speaker 1: round seven, sixes and seven and don't really excite me
Speaker 1: in this traft. Steel Yeah, the Steelers have two picks
Speaker 1: in this round. Um they take Yeah, Myron Tagliavoa Amoso
Speaker 1: the Edge restaurant, a Notre Dame with their first pick.
Speaker 1: I take them. Uh, let's see here rolling down j Perry,
Speaker 1: the quarterback from Brown that we kind of think it's
Speaker 1: fun because the Raiders a little after Yeah. At forty one,
Speaker 1: the Steelers take Kyler McMichael, cornerback out of North Carolina,
Speaker 1: the Brown steake, Samari Torey out of Nebraska, the wide receiver.
Speaker 1: The Ravens have any picks in here the Bengals. Bengals
Speaker 1: take Quentin Lake. Quentin Lake, the son of Carneal Lake,
Speaker 1: goes to the Bengals. Can't let that happen? Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: maybe it could be a spy. Yeah maybe. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, I hate this draft for the Steelers. I
Speaker 1: don't like it at all. They got one receiver, he's
Speaker 1: a fourth round guy offensive lineman and defensive lineman. I
Speaker 1: have no problem with the I think the people people
Speaker 1: looking at the offensive line as a absolutely I see
Speaker 1: interior offensive line a lot for the Steelers is a
Speaker 1: need they signed to. That's not knowing the team well,
Speaker 1: you know right, that's looking at somebody somebody. Here's what
Speaker 1: happened because of the group think that happens with these guys.
Speaker 1: Somebody put out a list in January, Steelers need interior
Speaker 1: offensive line help, which they did, which they did, and
Speaker 1: then nobody help. They got it, nobody updated it after
Speaker 1: they signed. They have four players, actually they have six
Speaker 1: players on the interior offensive line with starting experience. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you include Hassan Hour and you include the glue,
Speaker 1: the Chargers have to take a run stopping defensive tackle.
Speaker 1: And they signed the right, right, right right exactly, things change.
Speaker 1: He's got he's got that take. They're taking Noah Ellis
Speaker 1: in the in the he wouldn't even make their team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: these teams know their needs as well, and they do
Speaker 1: things about it like you getta You gotta look at
Speaker 1: what they did in free agency. This is why seven
Speaker 1: round MOK is really tough for all. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not killing Jordan Reed. I just don't
Speaker 1: like the Steeler picks at all. No, Well, file strikes
Speaker 1: a nerve with you for sure, and Zion just doesn't.
Speaker 1: Isn't gonna happen? That doesn't make sense. Yeah, they just
Speaker 1: released file, but they just released file like a month ago. Okay,
Speaker 1: It's like, is there a new side of nearby? Right right? Okay?
Speaker 1: Quick question for you. If the Steelers took Daxton Hill
Speaker 1: pickings and then Anderson the linebacker around of Montana State,
Speaker 1: would you take that right now? Or would you take
Speaker 1: door number two? I would take that. I take door
Speaker 1: number two just because I think as much as I
Speaker 1: like Hill, I feel like that's worst case scenario in
Speaker 1: the first Yeah, I think he's a he's a He's
Speaker 1: I wouldn't condemn it at all, But you might look
Speaker 1: into something better. You might Williams went to pick before
Speaker 1: and but then your safety, your safety might not be
Speaker 1: I don't mean, oh you'd be you'd be a problem.
Speaker 1: You know. Maybe then you're taking Nick Cross in the
Speaker 1: third round. Oh yeah, something like that. So and it's
Speaker 1: just not like Anderson. I don't know that a Day
Speaker 1: two linebackers the best move. Yeah, I don't know that
Speaker 1: it is either. I mean, you know, I just think
Speaker 1: that he's a football player. Oh he's I love the players,
Speaker 1: just I'm not sure that an off the ball linebacker
Speaker 1: and day two it's the best. I might line him
Speaker 1: up with some fullback. I might do all kinds of
Speaker 1: stuff with him, two point conversion package of some sort,
Speaker 1: you know. Oh yeah, yeah, you can get creative all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's throwing the football, you know, because
Speaker 1: he played quarterback to he was an All conference running back.
Speaker 1: He was an All conference quarterback. He was linebacker. I mean,
Speaker 1: what's what's not the like? And know by the way,
Speaker 1: he runs a four four And you guys can write
Speaker 1: stories all day long about him. Oh he be fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm writing. I'm written for the story on that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good one. Yeah. So well, this was kind
Speaker 1: of fun exercise though, although we wouldn't have a couple
Speaker 1: of picks, we wouldn't have made Yeah, that's gonna do
Speaker 1: it for today's show though. So for my partner Matt Williamson,
