00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: addressed the media and gave their evaluation of this draft class.

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: We had a good three days.

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: I think we've we improved our football team. You know,

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: seven draft picks, we made a trade. I thought the

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: process was outstanding. Like I've said a number of times,

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: this is the super Bowl for the scouts, the personnel department.

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: These guys work all year, you know, for this these

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: three days, and and I thought it went really well. Coaches,

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: collaboration of the medical with bo, the analytics with Tony

29
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: and their group, and and the ownership and the support

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 3: they've given us, you know, throughout the the draft season,

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: you know, flying, the private work, you know, to workouts

32
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: and and seeing games, and just all the resources they

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 3: give us. So I thought it was a good three days.

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: We improved ourselves as a football team.

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: Ronco's got the ball rolling on a Thursday night when

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: they selected quarterback Boon Nicks twelfth overall, and head coach

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: On Payton and general manager George Panon told the media

38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: why he was their guy from the start.

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: You know with Bo, we spent a lot of time,

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: you know, started at the Senior Bowl Combine private you know,

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: we did a private out there in Oregon, and and

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 3: and Sean really probably wasn't familiar with Bo early in

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: the process, and then started watching tape. Liked him a lot,

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: you know, fit a lot of things Sean likes in

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: a quarterback. And then you know, the private workout, you

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: know where we spent you know, three hours, you know,

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: just meeting with Bow, just getting to know him. You know,

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: Sean can talk about the tests they gave him, and

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: then just watching him throw and and so that was

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: kind of the start, and then get through more tape

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: and more tape, and and he was just a nice

52
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: ideal fit for what we want here.

53
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, like George said that because of obviously

54
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 4: our need and then the amount and there were trip

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 4: trip trip you know a lot of those, and all

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: of these players, you know at the combine, some of

57
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: them do more or less at the combine, some throw,

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: some don't. But you know a lot of private workouts,

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: a lot of their pro days.

60
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 5: So you have a body of work to start with.

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: And I would say, man, so many of these guys

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 4: were impressive and and and then you you really start

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: focusing in on all right, you feel like.

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: Chicago's got a player. But but past that.

65
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 4: I think you know you can you can listen to

66
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: and read and and and but you're not sure.

67
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 5: But I would say that.

68
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: Probably early into the process, shortly after these workouts like this,

69
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: he stood out in a lot of a lot of areas.

70
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: They went on to talk about a third round pick,

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: outside linebacker Jonah Ellis and what stood out to them

72
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: about his skill set.

73
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: Look, look, you start with one spot with a rookie player,

74
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: and we do like the versatility. We think there's upside

75
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: and growth potential. But you know, generally speaking, when you're

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: when you're looking at the draft, there's certain positions that

77
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: just you know, all of a sudden, if you start

78
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: projecting how does tomorrow look the next day looking?

79
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: And so a lot of times a.

80
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: Pressure player will get a tie if there's too close.

81
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: In this case, you know, we had two players. He was,

82
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 4: you know, half a round higher, and but I think

83
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 4: you know, you start, you know, he's an edge player.

84
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: That man plays with energy, effort, all those things that

85
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: you look for and real good football makeup, gift, character,

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: you know, we'll put a blue tag on some of

87
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: these guys.

88
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 5: He had that.

89
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: The team opened up a day three by trading up

90
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: to select a wide receiver, Troy Franklin one hundred in

91
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: his second overall, and head coach John Pain talked about

92
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: what went into that trade.

93
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 4: So I think when we went home last night, George

94
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: and I both you know, clears out and you know

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: you're kind of looking at how the next day might unfold.

96
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 4: I think the two of us looked at him like, man,

97
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: it'd be and we also knew that it was going

98
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: to be impossible for us to wait.

99
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: You know, when the day ends.

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: There's always these six players that I think around the league,

101
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: you feel like you're going to go pretty quickly. We

102
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: see him as an outside z, really good speed. You know,

103
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: he's a guy that we were really impressed with at

104
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. We also you know, had combine

105
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: and then even at Bo's private workout he was there,

106
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: so probably a little bit more exposure and there was

107
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: a lot more coincidence to that. Then, like that's just

108
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 4: how this draft unfolds sometimes. So there was a really

109
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: unique player with a high grade call it kick at

110
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 4: two rounds over that's sitting there by himself, and so

111
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: we see him as a Z.

112
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: With the Bronco selecting of five players on Saturday, the

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: third day of the draft, head coach Sean Payton talked

114
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: about what he envisions for each of those guys.

115
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 4: There's another receiver we drafted a little bit later on Bailey,

116
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: and you know he's a guy that's an older player

117
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 4: with experience. He's kind of a big slot. You know,

118
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 4: his cop might be a Tim Patrick type player, strong, smart,

119
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: and then you know, then you get into specifics. Is

120
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 4: that draft begins to the further out you go, the

121
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 4: more uh detached the rest of the league is with

122
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 4: with where they see players. Abrams drained someone we had

123
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: a lot of exposure with in the off season. Really

124
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 4: got good first versatility, kind of an outside in corner flex.

125
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 4: Let me see here. Estimate was another but you know,

126
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 4: pick where again we're in this round and he sat

127
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: uh as a.

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 5: A player we we really grated.

129
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 4: Well, we had a couple of runners that maybe we

130
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: thought might be available, but we didn't feel like this

131
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: guy would be. And you know, he's a physical runner,

132
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: but he's also someone that when you know you study

133
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 4: your yards after contact, average yards per play, per.

134
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 5: Run runs over twenty yards. He's been real consistent.

135
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: So that that was one that you know, the further

136
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: in this process you go, you're paying attention to the board.

137
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: I don't know that we had a lot of jump balls.

138
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: There were some, there were some easier possessions to look at.

139
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: And then I think Nick, towards the end where there's

140
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: a lot happening, I think I hit everyone.

141
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 5: Summary.

142
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: Now joining me here inside the Broncos podcast studio is

143
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Broncos lead writer Eric Dealala. Eric, thanks for joining me.

144
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Another draft in.

145
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: The books, Busy said, I know what year is this

146
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: for you? How many drafts?

147
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: Now?

148
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: A lot of drafts. I think this was Draft eight eight.

149
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: This is my fifth and it was.

150
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 6: It was as exciting a draft as I can remember. Obviously,

151
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 6: the first first round quarterbacks, yeah, I've been here. I

152
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 6: started just a couple of weeks after le Broncos took

153
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 6: Packston Lynch back in the day. But the first first

154
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 6: round quarterback, second highest selection of a quarterback in franchise history.

155
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 6: I mean, you pair bon Nicks then with all the

156
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 6: other picks. They made some exciting players and it's an

157
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 6: exciting draft class. Can't wait to see how they look

158
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 6: on the field.

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: Me too, Yeah, Eric, let's start there with Bonis. Then,

160
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: of course head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Payton.

161
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: They spoke Thursday night, got their guy. They were looking

162
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: for him the entire time, loved him throughout the pre

163
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: pre draft process. For you, what do you love about

164
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: this choice and how he's going to fine on Payton's offense.

165
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I think there's a lot to like about Bonix.

166
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 6: I think the makeup is great. You could tell when

167
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 6: he was here for his press conference. He's got that maturity,

168
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 6: he's got that presence about him. I like he's kind

169
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 6: of got like a little edge, which I like. He

170
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 6: was asked about, oh, you threw a lot of short passes,

171
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 6: and he kind of jumped right back inside throw a

172
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 6: lot of long passes too, and I liked that. And

173
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 6: he's just dedicated to the work that this is going

174
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 6: to take and what comes next. I love the attitude

175
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 6: in terms of I don't want to just be a

176
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 6: first round pick. I want to be I want to

177
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 6: win games. I want to prove them right and prove

178
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 6: why they drafted me. So from an interpersonal standpoint, all

179
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 6: those things stand out. I think you then listen to

180
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 6: Sean Payton and George Payton talk about Bonix, and it's

181
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 6: the intelligence just in terms of how he was able

182
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 6: to process all those kind of the tests that they

183
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 6: gave him along the way. It's the accuracy, the most

184
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 6: accurate quarterback in college football history. I mean that stands out.

185
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 6: It's the pure production. Yeah, ninety plus total touchdowns, you know,

186
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 6: over the last two years. It's spectacular from that standpoint.

187
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 6: So all those things kind of come together, and then

188
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing for me is just I

189
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 6: trust what Sean Payton sees and quarterbacks. I mean, when

190
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 6: you hired Sean Payton, part of it was he's going

191
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 6: to get the offense right. He's going to get a

192
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 6: quarterback and develop him and put the Broncos offense at

193
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 6: a position to make plays.

194
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 2: And so part of it is me.

195
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 6: Saying, Okay, Sean Payton, I trust that when you look

196
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 6: at quarterbacks and you decide Bonix is your guy, I'm

197
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 6: buying in in terms.

198
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: Of what Bonix is going to be able to do.

199
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 6: And I know there's a lot of comps out there,

200
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 6: and you know, people say, hey, Drew Brees in terms

201
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 6: of how perfect a fit Bonix is for this system.

202
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 6: But again I go back to Bonick saying, hey, that's great.

203
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 6: I've I've now got to do something about that. That's

204
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 6: just talk. And so I think the mentality, the intelligence,

205
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 6: the accuracy, the playmaking ability, all those things are you know,

206
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 6: Sean Payton talked about his size, his football makeup, and

207
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 6: his family. All those things are a great start. Now

208
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 6: we see what happens from here.

209
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely an exciting first night of the draft. Now,

210
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: Eric moving on today two third round, the Broncos drafted

211
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,599
Speaker 1: outside linebacker Jonah Ellis. I think this is kind of

212
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: an underrated pick, nuts, someone that a lot of fans

213
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: are talking about yet. But what about his skill set

214
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: do you think kind of stuck out to Sean and George?

215
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, his dad's tremendous. I was here when he

216
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 6: worked here, and just a super nice guy. And you know,

217
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 6: I think with Jonah, one thing Sean said on Friday

218
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 6: night was when you're a pressure player, you've got to

219
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 6: have production. You've got to have those pelts so to speak. Yeah,

220
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 6: and he had that. You know, he had a bunch

221
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 6: of saxes here he had a bunch of I believe

222
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 6: twelve last year, eight sacks in a four game stretch

223
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 6: at one point three and a half sacks against UCLA

224
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 6: with five tackles for loss.

225
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: I mean that type of production. You can't make that up.

226
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: You can't fake it.

227
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 6: So you look at that the sacks I believe sixteen

228
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 6: tackles for loss last year.

229
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: Just a high energy player.

230
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 6: Probably slipped a little bit because he suffered an injury

231
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 6: toward the end of the year. The Broncos are not

232
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 6: worried about that. Feel like he's going to be good

233
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 6: to go. I think Sean Payton mentioned maybe may as

234
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 6: kind of a target for him to be fully back

235
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 6: into things, which obviously said his next week.

236
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: In a good shape there. But yeah, this is a guy.

237
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 6: That I think some people thought as a potential second

238
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 6: round pick, and he joins a talented group with some

239
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 6: guys in Nick Benito, who took a big step forward.

240
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 6: Jonathan Cooper has obviously obviously outperformed his draft status there

241
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 6: as a former seventh round pick. Aaron Browning has flashes

242
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 6: where he's just a tremendous football player, and so Sean

243
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 6: Payton said, hey, you can't worry about that. In terms

244
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 6: of drafting, on top of a strength, will figure out

245
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 6: the depth, will figure out where people are gonna play,

246
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 6: who's gonna play. But when you had talented players and

247
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 6: there's competition, I think it makes the whole roster better.

248
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see what he looks like out on

249
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 6: the field. He's maybe a touch smaller and so it'll

250
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 6: be interesting to see if he balks up just a bit.

251
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 6: But the explosiveness, I mean I saw play Chase Caleb Williams,

252
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 6: the number one pick in the draft, down and forced

253
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 6: a throw away when they played sc this past fall.

254
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 6: So a good, high energy player and kind of get

255
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 6: that impact player as a quarterback in round one and

256
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 6: then you go and in terms of impact players on

257
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 6: the defense aside, no position is more important than edge rusher,

258
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 6: so to get an impact player there as well was important.

259
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

260
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: He has so many fun ties to the Broncos too,

261
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned, I mean, his dad played here, he

262
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: worked here also. Sean Payton drafted his brother with the

263
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: Saints a few years ago too. He said, his brother said,

264
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 1: you're going to love Sean. You know, you're going to

265
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: be excited to play for him too. So it's exciting,

266
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: it's cool.

267
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 6: Very exciting, And yeah, the Falcons almost kind of messed

268
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 6: up the Broncos draft plans on that one when they

269
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 6: took Michael Pennix and Broncos kind of panicked a little

270
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 6: bit and thought, I oht know, his Bonick's going to

271
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 6: be gone. And then last night you've got the Falcons

272
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 6: picking right before the Broncos, and Sean and George realize, oh,

273
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 6: they've got his brother Terry Fond know the Falcons GM

274
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 6: used to work in New Orleans with Sean, and they're

275
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 6: they're wondering, oh are they going to take Joan Allie

276
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 6: right in front of us? But he felt a Denver

277
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 6: and despite considering a trade back, which George joked would

278
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 6: have they would have brought a cake out for Sean

279
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 6: for his first trade back, they stayed there.

280
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: He was too good to pass up.

281
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: Well. Now, today, on a Saturday, a day three, the

282
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: Bronco started out with the Bang and traded up. They

283
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: received the one hundred and second overall pick and the

284
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: twenty two hundred and thirty fifth from Seattle in exchange

285
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: for that one hundred and twenty first be one hundred

286
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: and thirty six and A two hundred and seventh. They

287
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: got Oregon wide receiver at Troy Franklin, brought in another

288
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: teammate for Bonix.

289
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: Love it.

290
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 6: I absolutely love it for a number of reasons. One,

291
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 6: you've got a guy that b Nix knows, he's comfortable with.

292
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 6: I think that helps the transition to the NFL. And

293
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 6: you know, bo Is is older, he's married, like he's

294
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 6: he's an adult, he's he's he can handle all this.

295
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 6: But I do think anytime you just have somebody there

296
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 6: with you that you know, just makes it a little

297
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 6: bit easier.

298
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: Already had that chemistry, He's going to.

299
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 6: Have that that relationship with Troy Franklin, and so I

300
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 6: think that's a really good sign. And then kind of

301
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 6: aside from all that, Troy Flanklin is just Troy Franklin

302
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 6: is just a really good football player. He's got tremendous speed.

303
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 6: They view him as an outside Z receiver. He's a

304
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 6: guy that's gonna be able to, I think, help stretch

305
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 6: the field. We talked to assistant Jim Darren Mougie after

306
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 6: Shawn and George talked, and he said, you know, hey,

307
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 6: you've got him and Marvin.

308
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: Anytime you can add that speed. It's a great thing.

309
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 6: You obviously have Courtland Sutton in that mix as well

310
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 6: Tim Patrick. And so this is a receiving corps all

311
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 6: of a sudden that they're starting to rebuild. You've got

312
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 6: now three draft picks. We'll talk a little bit in

313
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 6: a second about the other receiver that they took today,

314
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 6: but they've kind of reshaped this receiver room here pretty

315
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 6: quickly after the trade of Jerry Judy and Franklin is

316
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 6: just super productive, set single season records at Oregon for

317
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 6: receiving yards, receptions, receiving touchdowns, career receiving touchdowns. And they

318
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 6: just said, every time you watch bon Nicks boom, there's

319
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 6: Troy Franklin in the shot again and again being a

320
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 6: dependable player. And so I'm excited to see this guy,

321
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 6: see that connection out on the field as early, I

322
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,239
Speaker 6: would think as rookie Minnie Camp.

323
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: And a few weeks here, just a few weeks, Yeah,

324
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: really exciting. I think fans were excited too.

325
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 6: And it was, you know, the Broncos maybe they seemed

326
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 6: like they considered getting him last night and then Sean

327
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 6: sends a text to George at six am says, hey,

328
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 6: let's go get this guy. They move up I think

329
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 6: the second pick of the fourth round, and they get

330
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 6: their guy.

331
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: Exciting stuff, and it was funny to hear. You know,

332
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: we heard on Thursday how the Broncos held a private

333
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: workout session for Bonnix and there was Troy Franklin there

334
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: catching his passes.

335
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it was they saw kind of the physical

336
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 6: traits on Bonox's pro day right when he's running the routes.

337
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 6: It sounded like he didn't run as many routes on

338
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 6: during Bonus's private workout, But it was a great chance

339
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 6: for them to get to know him and get to

340
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 6: know his character. And that was you know, Troy Franklin

341
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 6: said on the call with reporters today, I think I

342
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 6: made a good first impression.

343
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: Clearly he did. He did.

344
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Eric will now be a fifth round.

345
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: The Broncos had a pair of back to back in

346
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: your back to back picks one hundred and forty five

347
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: and one hundred and forty seven, they selected cornerback Chris

348
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: Abrams Drain and running back Audric Estime. Estime.

349
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got the little accent there. Ye, I like it.

350
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 6: They obviously two very different players, but you know, quality

351
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 6: quality players in Abrams drain. You've got a guy who

352
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 6: was a higher rated prospect, one of the best available

353
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 6: prospects left on the board according to you know, ESPN's

354
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 6: top prospect list. He's a guy, you know, all SEC player,

355
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 6: second Team American, a player that can come in, I

356
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 6: think and compete. You've got a lot of guys now

357
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 6: right opposite of Patsartan.

358
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: Which is a good problem to have, good problem.

359
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 6: To have, as George Payton said in the post draft

360
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 6: press conference. But you know, you bring in Levi Wallace,

361
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 6: You've got Tomari Mathis, Riley Moss, You've now got the

362
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 6: young rookie, and so some guys there to kind of

363
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 6: battle it out and figure out who's gonna play opposite

364
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 6: of Patzertan.

365
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: Got some good depth.

366
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 6: You can never have enough good corners in this league,

367
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 6: especially when you play in a division with Justin Herbert,

368
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 6: with Patrick Mahomes and all the weapons that the Chiefs

369
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 6: have so excited to see him and then estimate just

370
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 6: a bruising runner. It sounds like a smart, big, big

371
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 6: he'll run you over. Sean Payton said. They view him

372
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 6: as a first and second down player right now to start,

373
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 6: but smart, physical tough. It sounded like they were excited

374
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 6: to get him and that there were, you know, maybe

375
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 6: some other running backs on the board that they considered,

376
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 6: but they just thought, this guy's not gonna fall to

377
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 6: our next pick. We need to get him here. And

378
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 6: just an exciting player, somebody that can hopefully be a

379
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 6: difference maker. And again you've got now some competition there

380
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 6: in the backfield with Jamonte Williams, a JP Ryan, Julia McLoughlin,

381
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 6: you know, some reports kind of some undrafted free agents,

382
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 6: so that'll be a fun group to watch as well.

383
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: Onto the seventh round, Last but not least, the Broncos

384
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: brought in another guy from Utah wide receiver dvaon at

385
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: Vle and then South Carolina guard Nick guard Guloo Yeah Vle.

386
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 6: An exciting player. I think plays well in traffic, contested catches.

387
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 6: An older player. He kind of had a he had

388
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 6: a mission in Samoa, he was telling us, and so

389
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 6: he's twenty six years old. But you look at the

390
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 6: tape and and it's good enough that you're like, we're

391
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 6: going to take this guy, and you know, led the

392
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 6: utes in receiving this past year. A good physical player.

393
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 6: Sean Payton said he kind of reminds him of a

394
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 6: Tim Patrick type player, which you can never have enough

395
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 6: Tim Patrick in my mind, So I agree, I like that.

396
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 6: And then le Broncos last pick, you go and you

397
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 6: find a guy that can play in the interior the

398
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 6: offensive line. The Broncos are listing him at guard. Smart

399
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 6: player spent his first kind of had that COVID year

400
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 6: as well, so several years at Yale and transfers to

401
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 6: to South Carolina for his last season. Plays at both guardens,

402
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 6: but it sounds like again the Broncos will will start

403
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 6: his career at guard, and I think at that point

404
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 6: said it's just about finding good depth, good players that

405
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 6: can potentially develop and grow into contributors for the team. Obviously,

406
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 6: you're not going to hit on every single This is

407
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 6: kind of a larger point. You're not going to hit

408
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 6: on every single pick, but you never know when you're

409
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 6: going to find that diamond in the rough or find

410
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 6: a solid contributor. You know, I mentioned Cooper earlier seventh

411
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 6: round pick who became a starter. And then we know

412
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 6: the kind of the lengthy history the Broncos have with

413
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 6: both finding guys like TD Shannon Sharp late in the

414
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 6: draft and then undrafted players like Rod Smith Chris Harris Junior.

415
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 6: So you never know when you're going to find that player.

416
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 6: But the Broncos, I think at the end of the draft,

417
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 6: not a lot of trading today, said but they just

418
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 6: kind of they stood pad and they and they found

419
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 6: their guys.

420
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

421
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: Well, overall, Eric, as you look at this draft class,

422
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: you got an initial grade, initial evaluation here.

423
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 6: Well, I think the the grading thing is kind of filly.

424
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 6: It's just it's tough at this point, right. It takes

425
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 6: years with bo I know, the kind of externally people

426
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 6: are saying, oh, maybe you could have taken him ten

427
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 6: picks later.

428
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear ye any of that wet guy.

429
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: They got the guy that they wanted.

430
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 6: And you don't mess around for sure to get a

431
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 6: couple extra as George Peyton said on Thursday night, to

432
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 6: get a few extra picks, you know, third, fourth, fifth round,

433
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 6: whatever it is. You'd be sick to your stomach if

434
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 6: you don't get your quarterback. And so when Sean Payton

435
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 6: and George Peyton look at bo Nix and say that's

436
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 6: our guy, go get him, and they got him.

437
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: So that to me is a home run. You know,

438
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: obviously we'll see what happens here.

439
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 6: But but you've got the guy you wanted, So that's

440
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 6: that's a check mark in the box.

441
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: And then I think you look at the rest of

442
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 2: the class.

443
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 6: I'm excited about some of these offensive, skilled players, especially Franklin.

444
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 6: I think you look at a guy like Ellis and

445
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 6: you say, okay, well can he come in and be

446
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 6: a boost off the edge. We didn't even mention John

447
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 6: Franklin Myers, who was a trade acquisition that you know,

448
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: this defensive line looks entirely different than it did a

449
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 6: year ago, and I think going to be much improved.

450
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 6: So that's a big kind of check in the In

451
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 6: the pro column as well. I would say overall, if

452
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 6: you look at a lot of these top one hundred

453
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 6: lists of prospects, especially on day two and three, the

454
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 6: Broncos got guys who are expected like Franklin on some

455
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 6: list was forty four, and you know, the Broncos thought

456
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 6: he'd be gone in the second they get him at

457
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 6: one O two. That's obviously good value. But I just

458
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 6: think overall, you didn't hit every need, like there was

459
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 6: no tight end selected. We'll see if the Broncos maybe

460
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 6: get an undrafted guy, or if they get more contributions

461
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 6: from the guys they have on their roster. The Broncos

462
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 6: didn't draft a tackle, not necessarily a huge pressing need.

463
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 6: It's just been a while since they've taken a tackle.

464
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 6: But every pick, I think you can see how there's

465
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 6: a vision, how it fits, and you're just again, when

466
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 6: Champaign was hired, we say it's going to take a

467
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 6: little bit of time to build this in his vision.

468
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 6: I think you saw the next step of that, and

469
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 6: between the free agent moves it wasn't a flashy free agency,

470
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 6: but still some important moves and the draft now said,

471
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 6: I think you've got a much better feel for what

472
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 6: this team could look like from September.

473
