Speaker 1: he's a good player, But kool Aid McKinstry.

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,440

Speaker 1: Braylan Trice, the edge rusher out of Washington, Troy Franklin,

00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: the wide receiver out of Oregon, Enis Rakestraw, junior out

54
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: of the cornerback out of Missouri, Jordan Morgan the tackle

00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: They seem a little low on Lassador. Yeah, kool Aid

59
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: stands out. I really like Thomas the LSU receiver. Of

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: the names you mentioned, but there are a lot more

61
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: of them.

62
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: We have two trade offers.

63
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 2: I said, we haven't traded down yet this year.

64
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's on the phone. They get twenty six, so

65
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: we don't have to move back a little bit.

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Also, there were two or three corners of interest.

67
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Also on the phone. Are the bills at twenty eight?

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: All right, but what are they offering? We have to

69
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: offer them.

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: We have to offer them on this one. So if

71
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: we went back to twenty six, obviously twenty would be involved.

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: Could we get fifty eight?

73
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: No, we could get thrown a fourth.

74
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: We could get eighty nine.

75
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: Though, what if we could get fifty eight in throwing

76
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: a fourth the later of the force.

77
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: That has a fifty seven percent chance of being accepted?

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: Would you rather do that or get a third?

79
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: M I mean, being that we have the two fourth

80
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: round picks is nice, real nice?

81
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, we're going to be very happy about that.

82
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we might even be able to get them to

83
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: throw in a sweetener by doing the whole. If we

84
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: throw in the one twenty for twenty six and fifty eight,

85
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: will they give us one twenty six? No, well, thirty

86
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: eight percent chance that's accepted.

87
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: I'd be up for that.

88
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Let's see if they do it. They did not, all right,

89
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: so take that one off the board. Can we go

90
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: a future let's let's say a future for that is

91
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: forty one percent chance that was accepted.

92
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so what was it? And the de I got

93
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: so we ended.

94
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: Up trading twenty and one twenty okay for twenty six

95
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: and fifty eight this year, nice and a fourth round

96
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: pick next year.

97
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: That's great, great root for Tampa to have a terrible year.

98
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: It's which they could, which they absolutely could. Okay, we're

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: back on the clock here, all right. Like that the

100
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: pick they moved up to come and get lay two,

101
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: which I could see.

102
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Somebody doing that.

103
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: I just say, whenever, yeah, whenever you laid them out, like, boy,

104
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm surprised he's still there. He could be a trade candidate.

105
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Then Brian Thomas went, then kool Aid, mckinson, Brayln Trice,

106
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: Chris Braswell, Cameron Kinchins. So, Troy Franklin's still there, Enis

107
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Rakestraw is still there, Jordan Morgan, Michael Pennix, Tyler Newman,

108
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: Lad McConkie, Kwame Kamari Lassiter.

109
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: Lassiter and Rakestraw are standing out.

110
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: Que Mitchell's there too.

111
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: Interesting. I just don't know who I like best of

112
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: those guys yet. Yeah, I mean I like all three.

113
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: I think in that society, in that situation, you would

114
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: definitely take one of those things.

115
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, after the trade down, I think you're real

116
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: happy about that. I just don't know which one I

117
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: prefer and whatever. I like.

118
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: Lassiter doesn't pick the ball if he had one career interception.

119
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Rakestraw I think has one career interception.

120
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: He's considered a tough guy, not a tremendous tester. Yeah.

121
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: And then Toledo guy is big team captain, but he's

122
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: a small school. You know.

123
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: I think I would lean towards Mitchell. It's he takes

124
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: he does better. He's more taking the ball away.

125
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would do at this point.

126
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: And I have to you have to assume as the

127
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: big man on campus at Toledo, he didn't get thrown

128
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: out a lot, and he still took the ball away.

129
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 2: I was used the Lee Bodon example, which was my

130
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: first year doing anything with any team. I volunteered at

131
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 2: du Quane.

132
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: Although there's one other guy who just noticed Keon Coleman's

133
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: still there.

134
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's more corn, there are more receivers, and

135
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: we have two second text.

136
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: I think you take Mitchell.

137
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: I mean, as it stands right now, it is the

138
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: bigger need, you know. I mean, I'm fine with Mitchell.

139
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: Boom, and we moved down to twenty six to do it,

140
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: so and picked up more stuff.

141
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, more stuff's always good. In two seconds.

142
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Now we're back up here at fifty two, and I

143
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: want to look at the interior offensive line. Yeah, this

144
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: is Jackson Powers Johnson. Wow, still there, Zach Frasier.

145
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 2: I think Powers Johnson's ahead of him. Now. Christian Haynes

146
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: is that UK dude? Yeah? Yeah, he's a senior one.

147
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Christian Mahogany. I think Powers Johnson stands out there. You

148
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: take him.

149
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: Do you know the Christian Mahogany story. Yeah, there's a

150
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: name we might we need to know folks. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

151
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: I think I'm there right yeah. And if you told

152
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: me right now, would you trade to Steel a second

153
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: round pick for him, I'd say yes, yeah.

154
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: And we have the pick coming up here at fifty

155
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: eight because we made the trade back. Now, if we

156
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: wanted to take a tackle, we could do that.

157
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I would look at tackles. I would look at

158
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: receivers and still secondary yeah, I mean any I mean

159
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: if one of the top safeties is there, if a slot.

160
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: Wide receivers and offensive tackles and any d back. Okay,

161
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: So Jalen Polk. Yeah, nice, Brendan Rice the wide receiver

162
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: at a USC, Kingsley Suamatia no offensive tackle at a

163
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: b YU, Ricky pe Pearsaw out of Florida, Jaylen McMillan

164
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: out of Washington, Johnny Wilson out of Florida State, Roman

165
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: Wilson the wide receiver aut of Michigan. So there's fewer tackles.

166
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: B YU tackles. Jumping off the page from me, I

167
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: also think Polk from Washington is attractive.

168
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think in that situation now we could take

169
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: the tackle.

170
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is where to me. I mean he

171
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: also doesn't have to beat out Dan Moore right away.

172
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean he's a little bit of a project. He's

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: a super athlete. Fine, take your time.

174
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, now you've upgraded your offensive line.

175
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: You turned back dramatically.

176
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: You got two second round offensive linemen.

177
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: No, I love that.

178
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 1: And there's still a bunch of receivers on the board. Okay,

179
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: we're back up now at eighty four.

180
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: Okay, nice, Okay.

181
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: The wide receiver is still available. This is what I'm

182
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna start, no knowing name, Okay, Johnny Wilson, I sent

183
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: you takee hir I said, this dude is six seven,

184
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: like two hundred and thirty eight pounds.

185
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's interesting your blocks. He's physical. He's physical.

186
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a great separator. No, when you're six seven,

187
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty eight pounds, you don't need to

188
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: be a separatey, right, you can just box out.

189
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: I mean you thought they'd use him with like an

190
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: Alan Robinson.

191
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: I think he's a bigger, younger version of Alan Robinson

192
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: with what you what they did with Alan Robinson this year? Yeah, yeah,

193
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: what they had in mind. I think with Chase Claypool

194
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: when they.

195
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: Took oh, absolutely a power slot.

196
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: A power slot. That's what this guy, to me is

197
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: I think.

198
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: In the third round. I'm having no reservations with that.

199
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: You also have Tory Holton, the Colorado state wide receiver,

200
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: very productive back to back thousand yard seasons for him

201
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: with like eighty plus catches. Jamari Thrash from Louisville. Kind

202
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: of a down.

203
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: I think that's what's his face as Thrash as kid.

204
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: Remember Thrash from the Eagles, James James I can remember

205
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: his first time. Yeah.

206
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: Malachai Corley from Western Michigan. He's more of a slot type. Yeah,

207
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: I can see them liking him.

208
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is really good after the catch. His highlight

209
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: tape is wow.

210
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see them liking him a lot.

211
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, And what might I have seen? I

212
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: like him a lot. Yeah. Is there any other defensive

213
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: backs that jump out at you? It's taking one of

214
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: the top ranked safeties that can play the slot or.

215
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: The safety's Tyke Smith is there from Georgia.

216
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: The Utah guy's gone him.

217
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: Jayden Hicks from Washington State, Bo Brady from Maryland, Malik

218
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: Mustafa from Wake Forest, Cole Bishop from Utah. Is that

219
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: the guy you're thinking of.

220
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 2: I think there's two from there.

221
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: I think there are two. They used they always have two,

222
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: they do.

223
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: And I think it's the other one because he'd also

224
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 2: plays running back and he's a big dude. Yeah.

225
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Let me see if there's any corners that that jump

226
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: out of him as well. Yeah, let's Jerry and Jones

227
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: from Florida State. I think he's more of us. Mm.

228
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: I don't know much about him.

229
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: He uh, yeah, he was so he started he played

230
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: outside for them in twenty twenty two. Last year he

231
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: moved into the slot for them.

232
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: When you say outside, he played corner. I mean he

233
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: played corner.

234
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's six foot one ninety, but he was Florida

235
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: State's slot corner this past season.

236
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: Interesting, No, that's that profile I'm attracted to.

237
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, bigger, a bigger slot.

238
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

239
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: Uh me, and I approach it from Auburn is there

240
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: six He's a little thinner, but he also he was

241
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: more of the corner corner.

242
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: So I like the I like your huge Florida State receiver,

243
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 2: but I like Malachi better. The Western Michigan.

244
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: No, I'm with you, and I can see them liking

245
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: him a lot.

246
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean he's after the catch, rocked up, has

247
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: some running back look about him. I'd be I like it. Yeah, yeah,

248
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 2: Now I probably got to focus on d.

249
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah one nineteen. Now, I think you could take a safety.

250
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Davis, the interior defensive lineman from from Clemson is there.

251
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: He's six to two, three hundred.

252
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so he doesn't there's no defensive spot I wouldn't

253
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: consider if there's If that's best on the.

254
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: Board, yeah not so. Last year he only had two sacks,

255
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: but in twenty twenty two he had seven.

256
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: So he was on the lists of like preseason lists.

257
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know which he doesn't fit the like he's

258
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: six to three hundred, he's not the classic.

259
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what they do with him. I mean

260
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: they're more open to those types than they used to be.

261
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, could you could you put him into those And

262
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't know enough about him. Make Keonu Benton a

263
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: just a straight defensive tackle backup or right something like that.

264
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: I mean they played so much nickel and dime that

265
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: he would have a role. Yeah, but I just don't

266
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: know enough about the player of how he profiles.

267
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Bo Brady from Maryland, who they'll probably.

268
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, a lot about I think he's unable too. Yeah,

269
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: I've heard good things about him. He played safety, right.

270
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: He played one hundred and four snaps in the slot

271
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: last year.

272
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: What's his size? I know these aren't exact, but.

273
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they list him at six one two ten.

274
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: That's the profile i'd be looking for. Yeah, there's a

275
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: safety slash slot guy. So I don't that'd be attracted

276
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: to me.

277
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't hate that.

278
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: No, I don't know if anything about the young man

279
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: other than I've seen his name and it seems like

280
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: he goes around this part in the draft.

281
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just gonna call up defensive backs here in general,

282
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and safeties. Max Melton from Rutgers is there.

283
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 2: What's he do?

284
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: He's a corner. He'll be at the Senior Bowl. Six

285
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: foot one ninety. He played a little bit in the

286
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: slot last year, four hundred and eighty seven snaps at corner,

287
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: sixty in the slot. But he's he's got a little

288
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: better sized. He's six foot one ninety. Didn't have any

289
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he had any interceptions last year. No,

290
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: he had three. He had three, gave up a passer,

291
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: rating a sixty five point seven. Their defense was pretty

292
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: good this yeah.

293
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: I mean, as long as he's willing and able to

294
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: play some slot because I don't think Trice will, I

295
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: don't think Rush will. I don't know if Toledo guy

296
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: has any experience with it at all, but he does

297
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: have the size and physicality to handle it.

298
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: Cole Bishop, the other safety from Utah six two two

299
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: O seven, one hundred and eighty in the box, twenty

300
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: five at corner last year, ninety seven snaps in the slot.

301
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: He played two hundred and eight snaps in the slot

302
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Okay, so he's more of that

303
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of.

304
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: Any of those like you can do a little bit

305
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: of every like all three of those guys. The Maryland

306
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: dude Rutgers was the second one, right, yeah, and the

307
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: Utah kid.

308
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: The Utah had fourteen completions in twenty six targets last year.

309
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: Nice and two that's fine.

310
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: A couple of interceptions. Let's take him. Yeah, that's fine,

311
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: let's take him there. I think he fits the and you.

312
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: Would think any of those guys, but probably the two

313
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: safeties would be core special teamers immedia. Yeah, you know

314
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: right at this neighborhoo.

315
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: Okay, now way back at one eight, I get a

316
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: little crazy on you.

317
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: Here, punter quarterback. Oh that's not crazy at all to me. Yeah,

318
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: that's not crazy.

319
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: Here's what's left though, Sam Hartman, Devin Leary, Carter Bradley.

320
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: I only know Hartman of the three Learry, what's school

321
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: Tief from Kentucky? Oh okay, remember before the Yeah, yeah,

322
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: those are the type of guys I think they should

323
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: be interested in. Fourth Spencer Rattlers and yeah, you know

324
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: those type of dudes. A guy from Tulane and some

325
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: of these NI will.

326
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Probably take Hartman here. I mean, yeah, I think his

327
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: profile fits similar to the guys that you have, and

328
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: but you know, he's an experienced quarterback.

329
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: And now we're play a ton of preseason snaps and yeah,

330
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: you know right and be.

331
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, but he's played enough snaps in college that.

332
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: I think he's a six year guy. Yeah, which I

333
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: don't care that. I don't worry about over aged quarterback.

334
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Especially if he's going to be my three.

335
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: I want.

336
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: I want my three to be in experienced someone got.

337
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: Sure right, right, played an Notre dame as last year. Yeah,

338
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: I just don't want Brandon Wheedon, you know right, that's my.

339
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: Age and our last pick. And I'm gonna roll the

340
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: dice here as well, Matt, and I'm taking a linebacker.

341
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: I was just saying, I think an off the ball

342
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: linebacker project would make some sense. Somebody that has some ability,

343
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: like the water up two years younger Mark Robinson.

344
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: Well, that would be Nathaniel Watson here from Mississippi State,

345
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: amazingly enough, and he's six two, two forty five done again,

346
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: special team, play special teams. I can groom him a

347
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: little bit, get me some more legs on that. Let's

348
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: see how we did here our first trip through Okay,

349
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: so we got a B for our trade. They gave

350
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: us a C plus for taking QUINYA. Mitchell at twenty six,

351
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: fair enough, and him ranked a little bit lower than that.

352
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: Jackson Powers Johnson was a B. Sue Mattaiah was a

353
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: C minus, Mackaya Malachi Corley was a C. Cole Bishop

354
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: of c plus, Sam Hartman a C plus, and the

355
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Wilson was an A was a B.

356
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: Fair enough.

357
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: I like it though, and we got a fourth round

358
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: pick next year.

359
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you had two good young offensive linemen, corner

360
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 2: and that receiver, none of whom are going to get

361
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: thrust into. Well. I think your center's he's your starting

362
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: center probably on day one, unless Anderson blows his doors

363
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: off or something like that. But you got a lot

364
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: of line depth then at this point too, especially if

365
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: by you guy can go past more quickly, and more's

366
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: your swing tackle and Anderson's your swing into your guy.

367
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: I mean, you'd have eight ish offensive linemen, most of

368
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: whom are young, that are pretty appealing. Yeah, that's not bad,

369
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: That's not bad at all.

370
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: But I think that's kind of the basis of what

371
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: your draft needs to be.

372
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't disagree.

373
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, other than maybe adding another young defensive lineman

374
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 1: in there.

375
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, I think I think there's a

376
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: good chance you bring back Watson Adams and.

377
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: And it's not a strong defensive line draft.

378
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: And I don't think that fishing in that.

379
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: Last year's draft was not a strong defensive line draft.

380
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: And you got lucky and got bent.

381
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 2: I think a year from now d lines and maybe

382
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: there gonna be your number one.

383
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe you go in the first round.

384
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that's a good chance considering

385
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: cam status, you know.

386
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: But overall, I like this.

387
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: I like this right, I think addresses a lot of

388
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: needs with players I like so far.

389
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: So I don't expert, but this is how I figured

390
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: to find these kind of things out. Though, Like I'll

391
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: run these mock drafts and I'll.

392
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 2: Say, oh, this guy's the best part.

393
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: These are the these are the ten guys available when

394
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm picking here, I gotta go find out some information

395
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: on these guys. I'm gonna watch tape.

396
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: I'll go do whatever.

397
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: And oh I like that.

398
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: I don't like that, or boy, I can probably wait

399
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: around on this position. That's a beauty do in the

400
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: Marx too, is you just have to get a feel

401
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: for these are the pockets.

402
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this obviously changes over the course of yes.

403
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's how you become familiar. I mean it's

404
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: step one of learning about these guys and see them

405
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: live at the Senior Bowl and then combine et cetera,

406
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: et cetera.

407
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna get to a break. He is the

408
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lolly listening to the drive here

409
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio. We'll be back with more right

410
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back. I'm Dale LOLLI he is the

411
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. And well, if we go heavy on the

412
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: draft today, Matt, that's only because Kyper and Bucky Brooks. Yeah,

413
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: best their mock drafts. We just did our mock draft.

414
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: And I mean I'm switching gears to draft basically too,

415
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: and starting to really investigate free agency and that type

416
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 2: of thing.

417
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: It was like four starting starting next week. You know,

418
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: when I go to the Senior Ball. That's why I've

419
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: kind of started studying some of these guys because I

420
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: gotta go down there next week and know I don't

421
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't study this year round like of course, right

422
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: like the draftnicks do I get to catch up and

423
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: you know.

424
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: I remember the first time I went to the Senior

425
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 2: Bowl when I was at ESPN, not with the Browns,

426
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: and it was kind of a helpless feeling because I

427
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: got there. I'm like, I don't know half these names.

428
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: Like I didn't do a good enough job at least

429
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: being slightly familiar, you know. And frankly, there Warren's made

430
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: websites and YouTube and all this stuff back then either.

431
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: To find a foul and different people down there. Yeah,

432
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: that's it's crazy. It's really a little ridiculous. Yes, yeah, Basically,

433
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: if you have a website, you can get.

434
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 2: In even fans and sitting there and blogging and tweeting

435
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: and yeah.

436
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, so Bucky Brooks has his mock drafters. So

437
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: let's run through that one real quick. Uh. Caleb Williams won,

438
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: Drake May two, Jade and Daniels three, Marvin Harrison four,

439
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: Brock Bowers five, Dune the eight six for seanhw seven

440
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: instead all okay, Dallas Turner at.

441
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: Eight sounds like he's a pretty legit chance to be

442
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: the first defensive place you're.

443
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: Taking late two goes nine. That's why when when we

444
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: just did our mock draft and lay two was there

445
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: at twenty Oh yeah, somebody would probably want to come

446
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: up and get him.

447
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 2: Oh I think so at that position.

448
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you might be able to get a decent

449
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: haul out of it. Uh. And really you don't need it.

450
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: You don't need that position.

451
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: No, I don't think you take him at twenty year.

452
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: No, you know, Joe all goes at twenty to the Jets.

453
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: So the ten Jets or ten to the Jests. Yet

454
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: he flip flopped those.

455
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.

456
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: At eleven, the Vikings take Jared Versy also makes sense,

457
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: the edge rusher out of Florida State. Denver takes Terry

458
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: and Arnold the cornerback out of Alabama.

459
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he seems to be rarely there. At twenty any Yeah.

460
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: At thirteen, the Raiders take Flaga, the offensive tackle out

461
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: of Oregon State.

462
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: They could use them.

463
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: At fourteen, the Saints take Latham, the offensive tackle out

464
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: of Alabama.

465
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 2: Makes some sense too.

466
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: Fifteen this is kind of crazy. The Colts then get

467
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: Molik Neighbors all the way down at fifteen.

468
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: There's no way that, I mean, I could see him

469
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: trading up eight spots to take him. Yeah, there's several.

470
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be a gift.

471
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: That would be a gift. Yeah. I sometimes box just

472
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 2: work that way.

473
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: That's just the way it goes. Like, tell me, Denver

474
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: might not want him.

475
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: No, they would jump all over them.

476
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't have.

477
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: Right, I mean even like the Raiders put him next

478
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 2: to Ad maybe not Dave Meyer.

479
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: They have Myers too, Yeah, yeah, the Jets.

480
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 2: I mean the Jets look a good tackle, but no

481
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: way neighbors hit that far.

482
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: No way, or somebody trades up into one of those

483
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: spots ahead of him.

484
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we're not down this road yet,

485
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: and well a lot of needs, but if he's sitting

486
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: there fifteen, I would make an offer to go from

487
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: twenty to fifteen quickly.

488
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: Seattle takes Byron Murphy the defensive tackle.

489
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, some people have him as the number one tackle.

490
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: I think that's possibility. Defensive tackle Jacksonville.

491
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: Then at seventeen takes Defandre Sweat the defensive tackle out

492
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: of Texas.

493
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: Well. Bucky does a lot of work with the Jags.

494
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 2: He's not quite Him and DJ do a podcast together

495
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: and moves sticks and DJ's the color guy for the Chargers.

496
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: Bucky is somehow affiliated. He gets a check from the

497
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 2: Jag somehow, and I think he knows. They really stress big,

498
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: physical defensive front.

499
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: Here's what he said after watching the defense crumble over

500
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. The Jaguars are in

501
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: ten on upgrading the front line. Sweat is a massive

502
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: interior defender with strength, power, and heavy hands to snuff

503
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: out the run at the point of attack. They've done

504
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: this in their past. They took Tyson and Lula luit

505
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: Oh surprisingly in twenty ten, and then they took the

506
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: the kid out of Clemson. I believe it was.

507
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: Clemson, Clemson defensive tackle.

508
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's now with the I think he's a backup

509
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: for the Browns. Now, no, maybe maybe.

510
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: Oh he went to Florida. Yeah, Brian Bryant, Yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely,

511
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: And one of the traites this their GM. Balky used

512
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: to be with like Justin Smith and Alden Smith with

513
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 2: the Niners, and he is very traits orient And I

514
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: mean he took Walker over Hutchinson right because of the

515
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: long feeling that now not so great. Yeah, but I

516
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: mean he's he wants big people. Yeah. Absolutely.

517
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: At eighteen, the Bengals take Brian Thomas.

518
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be happy about that. I don't think boy,

519
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think they'll lose Boyd and Higgins.

520
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Said the potential Higgins and Tyler Boyden free agency and

521
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: forced the Bengals to take an offensive weapon early in

522
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: the draft.

523
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase just put him under his wing. A.

524
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: You have to protect You're Joe Burrow.

525
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 2: You have to Yeah, but if you lose two receivers,

526
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 2: but this is a deep receiver.

527
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: Like you talk about a team that has to take

528
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: an offense.

529
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: You don't have a right tackle at the moment. No,

530
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 2: you can't afford to go buy one. No, I mean,

531
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: I hear you, but boy, he'd be enticing I did it.

532
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh in nineteen the Rams take bow Knicks.

533
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember Bucky talking about that. Just thinking plan

534
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: for the future. I mean, it's there is certainly a

535
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: sentiment that the Packer way of doing quarterback stuff, drafting

536
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: one when you don't need one is a really nice

537
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: path for a landing spot for a guy to go.

538
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: And they took the kid from Georgia last year. Now

539
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: later in the draft, but you don't even know if he's

540
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna play football over again.

541
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, who knows. And they signed Wentz late in the

542
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: year too.

543
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: At twenty the Steeler. He has the Steelers taking Amarius Mims,

544
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: the offensive tackle out of Georgia.

545
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: I know he's really high on him. He talked about

546
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: this pick just the upside of the player. It doesn't

547
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: have a lot of experience.

548
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: At twenty one, the Dolphins take Jackson Powers Johnson, the

549
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: center out of Oregon that we just got in the

550
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: second round.

551
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: Then oh yeah, yeah, I was thinking he put him

552
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: at the Steelers at twenty but it had those two

553
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 2: picks slipped. But their center is Connor Connor McGovern McGovern,

554
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: who's a free agent. Yeah, they don't have a tough

555
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: time retaining.

556
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: The twenty two the Eagles taking Nate Wiggins, the cornerback

557
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: out of Clemson.

558
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: That makes sense.

559
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: I would have a tough time passing on Nate Wiggins

560
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: if we were the Steelers. Twenty three the Texans take Troyatanu,

561
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman out of Washington. Dallas takes Tyler Geyon,

562
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: the offensive tackle out of Oklahoma.

563
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: Sure ns and corners instead.

564
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Green Bay takes kool Aid McKinstry out of

565
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: the cornerback out of George.

566
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: I don't know if Alexander will be back. He's not

567
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: a free agent, but just seems unhappy.

568
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. At twenty six, Tampa Bay takes Keyon Coleman, the

569
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver out of.

570
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: Florida State, the Evans replacement or air or whatever. Evans

571
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 2: is also a free agent.

572
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: At twenty seven, Arizona takes Jordan Morgan, the offensive tackle

573
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: out of Arizona.

574
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Perfect.

575
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: At twenty eight, the Bills take Cooper Dejeene Iowa.

576
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: You probably would have snagged him at twenty I think

577
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 2: I probably would have said, yeah, yeah, he's a stunt. Yeah.

578
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I think either Poyer or one of their

579
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: two safeties is up high or Poyer, they're both on

580
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: with the.

581
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: Beauty is you can play Degene and the cornerback you

582
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: can play in the safety.

583
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: He takes the ball our secondary you need help.

584
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: I think kids six interceptions two years ago, return three

585
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: of them for touchdowns. That's a little attractive to me.

586
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: He's a good return guy.

587
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, no, there's tons like very attractive. Absolutely.

588
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: Twenty nine, Kansas City takes Chris Jenkins, the defensive tackle

589
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: out of Michigan.

590
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: Earliest I've seen that, Chris Jones, he's up, he's up

591
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: him and sneadter up. I mean, they're probably their best

592
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: two defensive players.

593
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: And they probably can't afford them both.

594
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: I can't imagine Jones leaves.

595
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: He wants to be the highest paid defensive tackle in

596
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: the league.

597
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: He probably he will be, yeah, I mean, especially he

598
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: change his teams. He got franchise last year. Chance would

599
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 2: they slap the tag on I don't know. Might they

600
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 2: have Kelsey's money available if he retired. He's not retiring,

601
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: you don't think.

602
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: No. At thirty you have Chop Robinson going to Detroit.

603
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: That makes sense. They give you somebody opposite Hutchinson.

604
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: Thirty one, QUINNYA. Mitchell goes to San Francisco.

605
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna be in the mix.

606
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: And then at thirty two, Baltimore takes Braylan Trice, the addresser,

607
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: out of Washington.

608
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: And what they said about that is Trice won't test well.

609
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: And DJ who's used to be a scout for the Ravens,

610
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: said perfect, they will just like Sugg in the day.

611
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 2: I mean they'll they'll draft them off tape in production

612
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 2: and if he doesn't run, great, they don't care one bit.

613
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: He wanted to change his colors either, he was already purple.

614
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: I guess see where what position would you bet they take.

615
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean they don't have an edge rusher, No, they

616
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: really don't. They they create their yea, they create their deal,

617
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: they create their pressure by sumpterfuge. We're gonna put nine

618
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: guys at the line of scrimmage and you have to

619
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: figure out which one of those nine guys are coming.

620
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: And it works for the.

621
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: Mad a bouquet back, I would think the tackle will

622
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 2: go high in the list too. Yeah, if there's one available.

623
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they can afford him at a bouquet that.

624
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: I would think he's going to be million twenty five

625
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 2: maybe yeah, yeah, I mean because clown he's up and

626
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: noise up. Not consider a line too. They don't have

627
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: massive needs. I'm just wondering what direction they want.

628
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: They're a little more massive than big people people. You're

629
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: going to need another inside linebacker.

630
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: They drafted what's his face from Clemson who played a

631
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: bunch of gains.

632
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

633
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: I mean I don't know if he's good or bad,

634
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: but I don't think Queen's back.

635
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not back.

636
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: He's gonna pay a lot, probably too much.

637
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: Cornerback's still in need for them.

638
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Humphrey seems to have a hard time stay on

639
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 2: the field.

640
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you don't want to pay

641
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham fifteen million dollars again.

642
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: Issue is that a one year deal. That was a

643
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: one year deal. I would not bring him back close

644
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: to that proce.

645
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: No, No, that's this so I think you could do

646
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: that again.

647
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: Bateman might be up a year from now, too, is yeah, yeah, yeah.

648
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: They get to pick it. They had to decide about

649
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: picking up his fifty year option.

650
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 2: We're not going to do that. Lamara got expensive all

651
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: of a sudden, too. Yeah. I do think they need

652
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: a running back, right, but you're gonna take You're not

653
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: gonna take that there, third round guy. Yeah.

654
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: Anyways, that's Bucky Brook's first run, his first run of

655
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: the mock draft. They're all dropping this week. It's all happening. Anyways,

Speaker 1: the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio and Matt salary

668
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: cap for twenty twenty four, which is what we're heading

669
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: into here. It's looking like it's going to be estimated

670
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: to right around two hundred and forty million dollars.

671
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I know that goes up every year except for

672
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: COVID year. You know how big of an increase that is.

673
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: Well, it was to twenty four point eight.

674
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: That's a big jump.

675
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: That's a big jump.

676
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: Leaku's pretty healthy, is what that?

677
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of the some of the stuff is So

678
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: we start looking here at cap space. This is one

679
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: of the reasons why we were talking about some of

680
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: these teams and some of the issues that they're going

681
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: to have.

682
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, now right.

683
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: Now, this according to spot track, the Steelers are.

684
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: At They're negative, They're in the.

685
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: Negative is six point seven million dollars in the negative.

686
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: But they can easily.

687
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: Oh, they got a lot of create this space.

688
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: You look at some of these other teams at the

689
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: bottom of the of the list. Right now, New Orleans

690
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: as always this time minus eighty two point eight million,

691
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: brutal eighty two point eight million. I know you weren't

692
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: even go.

693
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: And they're not that good team, right, I mean they've

694
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: been pushing, they've been paying off the pushing this back,

695
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: pushing us back, and I'm sure they'll do it again,

696
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 2: but you're not getting anything out of it. The Charge

697
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: win in your bad division.

698
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: The Chargers are minus forty four million.

699
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: Theirs is maybe more miserable disastrous because there's so many

700
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: Because here's the other thing about twenty million dollars.

701
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: You have to look and see how many players they

702
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: have signed. So the Steelers right now have sixty players signed.

703
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: They're at minus six point seven million.

704
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: And they'll lessen that number. They'll they'll cut some dudes.

705
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: The Chargers are at minus forty four million dollars. They

706
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: only have forty eight players signed.

707
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: And some of those are the seventh round picks that

708
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: aren't making any money, right I meaneah, if you put it,

709
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: it's a bigger conversation. I mean, we're not in Chargers

710
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 2: Nation radio. But if you pull up their their contracts,

711
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: it's a disaster because even like the Bosas and Derwin's

712
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: of the world aren't great, they should be awesome for

713
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: what they're paying them. And Mike Williams is hurt all

714
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: the time, and Alan's up in age, and now Herbert's

715
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: getting expensive, and they got some brutal contracts. Buffalo, they're

716
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: in trouble.

717
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: Is it forty three point six million over the cap

718
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: with fifty five players signed. But they get a bunch

719
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: of guys who are starters.

720
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're up? Who were up? Gabe Davis one

721
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: of their safeties. I actually have the list. Chefter tweeted

722
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: it out.

723
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: It's a mess.

724
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: It's long, yea, And I wanted to see. They're going

725
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: to be even.

726
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: More Allen dependent next year than they were this year.

727
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: Right, So this is something about Alan too is in

728
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, he was a four point eight cap hit.

729
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: You know, he's young. They lost in the wildcard round.

730
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: Then he was a five point nine cap hit, lost

731
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: the conference championship. Then he's a two point they're ten

732
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 2: point two cap hit, lost in the Divisional, sixteen point

733
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: four lost in division eighteen point six lost in Divisional

734
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: next year forty seven point one.

735
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, like that's rough, and they can be Browns

736
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: like here, and he's gonna be on your roster.

737
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: You can kill, you.

738
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: Can use, you can kick back it out. Yeah yeah,

739
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: kick it down the road. But just you know, now

740
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay that money up front.

741
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: But these are the dudes that are up. Gabe Davis,

742
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: Micah Hyde, Leonard Floyd Dodson, Dane Jackson, Epinessa Rapped, Daikwon Jones,

743
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: Tim Settle, Jordan Phillips POONA four. That's that's their entire's

744
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: all defensive line, right, I mean, so they're gonna have

745
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: a lot of spots and they'll probably still be good,

746
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 2: but they're going the wrong direction. Yeah, that's a brutal

747
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: loss for them.

748
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: Also twenty ninth on the list, right right ahead of

749
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Miami at minus forty two point nine. The difference

750
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: is Buffalo is fifty five players under contract, Miami has

751
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: forty six. Okay, and they're still they're only a million

752
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: dollars difference between the two.

753
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: And even like an Armstead could retire on them or

754
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: you know they're gonna have to.

755
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: Pay ten either, right, Yeah, and you haven't paid to it.

756
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: They have to make a decision on two.

757
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: Right, Denver is minus twenty five point three.

758
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: Or they're eating a bunch of Wilson you know this

759
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: year too.

760
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: But I think that might end up costing them extra money.

761
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: It might be even more than it might be more

762
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: than yeah, once you cut.

763
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: Him right, yeah, because he's not even off the books.

764
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: He's not even he's still on the book. When he

765
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: goes off the books, that's gonna go up.

766
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: I think he's a June first guy or whatever.

767
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cleveland at minus thirteen point eight million.

768
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: And I would There's been a lot of talk that

769
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: they could dip into the Bank of DeShawn again. I

770
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: would not do that, though. I mean you do that

771
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: with good players. You do that with Josh Allen, with Mahomes.

772
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: That just means you could do it with Miles Garrett.

773
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: It would make sense, that makes sense.

774
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 2: But I think you want to get out from the

775
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 2: Watson stuff as soon as possible, not extended.

776
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, then you get Dallas at minus eleven, the Steelers

777
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: at minus six point.

778
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: Seven have a lot of flexibility though.

779
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Seattle is just at the cusp. The problem

780
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: for Seattle is they only have forty four players under contract. Interesting,

781
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: so you don't have any money to spend. You only

782
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: have forty four players in the contract for right. San

783
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: Francisco is kind of in the same boat. They've they

784
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: they're one point three million to the positive, but they

785
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: got forty three players signed.

786
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, so those kind of teams are gonna have

787
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 2: to rely on fifth six round picks, undrafted free's.

788
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: Still and you're still going to have to do some

789
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: stuff to get out.

790
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's all said and done. That's

791
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 2: like the Rams this year. You rely on a lot

792
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 2: of late picks and undrafted free agents to eat up

793
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: some roster spots.

794
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Baltimore they've got forty four players under contract and five

795
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: point six million dollars in cap space, and.

796
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: We talked about them, I guess was last segment or

797
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 2: two segments ago. Their defensive front's gonna get hit.

798
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at the top of this thing, some teams

799
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: have a lot. Washington has eighty four point three million

800
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 1: in cap space. They've only had forty five players signed,

801
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: but they got all kinds of cap.

802
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: Space and the second pick in the draft.

803
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: But who the hell go play in Washington. That's the problem, right,

804
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: don't know.

805
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's not appealing now, but I don't think

806
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 2: it's a bad job. I mean, you gotta get the

807
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: stink of everything out of there. But you got a

808
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,720
Speaker 2: lot of picks. You traded those two edge rushers for picks.

809
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: I think they have three thirds the second pick in

810
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 2: the draft, tons of cap space. Who's your head coach, Well,

811
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 2: I know they that's got to happen.

812
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: First, obviously, Houston is second. Was seventy four point eight million.

813
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 2: That's appealing, Yeah, I mean they got a core and

814
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 2: people definitely want to play there.

815
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: Then you got Tennessee with seventy three point nine million.

816
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: New England. New England has seventy.

817
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 2: Tennessee and New England need a lot though.

818
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Colts have sixty six point three, but they

819
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: never spend it. At the top of this list every

820
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: year and they never spend their money.

821
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: They never do. I'm trying to think of who they're

822
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: big for. You eight, Well, Pittman will get a bunch

823
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: of it. I bet that makes some sense. Uh.

824
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: Then you have Cincinnati at sixty two point one million

825
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: dollars in cap space trying.

826
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 2: I thought somebody was, they've.

827
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: Got forty eight players under contract. You get to sign Higgins,

828
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: you get to sign Yeah, Higgins might get a chunk,

829
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: do an extension with Chase. I think Burrow's cheap this

830
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: year and real expensive next year, you know, and the

831
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: Chase contracts coming to I don't think they'll keep the

832
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: right tackle. Detroit has sixty one million in cap space,

833
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: but they only have thirty eight players under contract. That's like,

834
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: that's the lowest thirty eight players.

835
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: Wow, So you know that's who's up for them. I can't.

836
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: I don't think hardly anybody.

837
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Chicago still has fifty million dollars.

838
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: They're a nice situation. They're building the right way.

839
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has forty eight point seven. They don't have

840
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: a quarterback.

841
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: Baker's up. Yeah, they got a couple of dudes on

842
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: defense too.

843
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: The Rams have forty eight million dollars.

844
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: They got the cheap guys.

845
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the Raiders at forty three point four. You

846
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: got the Cardinals at forty five, Panthers at thirty one.

847
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: As you know, so there's maybe some more more money

848
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: out there this year than in years past. There aren't

849
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: as many of those team to the bottom. But the

850
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 1: teams at the at the extreme bottom. Yeah, those teams

851
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: that are twenty five or more million over the cap,

852
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: they're not adding people.

853
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 2: I mean the Bills, the Chargers, the Browns, the Saints

854
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 2: all tried to win now. Yeah, I mean they all

855
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 2: took their push, their chips in the middle and lost.

856
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: You know, ye Dolphins. Yeah, those are those teams.

857
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: That they tried to win now and they lost.

858
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: The teams that are more than ten million over yeah, Dallas, Cleveland, Denver, Miami, Buffalo,

859
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers and Saints.

860
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: I think we mentioned this yesterday, but Dallas has to

861
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: deal with Parsons, Ceedee, Lamb, and dak Yeah. I mean,

862
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: like Paullard's a free agent. You can live without him.

863
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 2: But I mean their three most important guys are all

864
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 2: hitting at the same time. Yeah. It's rough. It's rough.

865
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Denver doesn't have a quarterback quarterback. You're twenty five

866
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: million over the cap and you don't have a quarterback quarterback.

867
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: I mean it's a problem. It could be Stitham, you know,

868
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, frankly, that's what the Bucks thought

869
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 2: they were, you know, they they threw Baker out there.

870
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 2: They overachieved and they ate their vegetables this year, you know,

871
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: cap wise to some degree. And the Rams did as well, overachieved,

872
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 2: you know, they paid the price for past Super Bowls

873
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: and passed you know, payments. I think that's Denver this year.

874
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 2: I think you sit back and you have a tough

875
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: year and maybe you end up with the first overall

876
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 2: pick and draft the quarterback, well the top five type

877
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: of pick.

878
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: It could be a rough year, but those are some

879
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: of that. Like you when you start looking at that Cleveland, Denver, Miami, Buffalo,

880
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: those were all teams that were in the mix this

881
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: year in the NFC just feel short. Some made it,

882
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: some didn't. But you're not adding a lot to those teams.

883
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 2: No, you would think, I mean, unless you have a

884
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: home run draft, which anyone could, that your rosters worse

885
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: next year than this year.

886
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, especially with like a.

887
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: Chargers, they at least had the foresight to draft Quinton Johnston.

888
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: You like, we know we're not going to we know

889
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: this problems coming, so we're gonna draft receiver. Well, you

890
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 2: drafted a bad one, right, maybe it gets better, but

891
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 2: he doesn't look good so far.

892
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a situ it's gonna be interesting to

893
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: see here his teams. He got until what was it,

894
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: a May thirteenth to get under the cap.

895
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 2: And there's so much reconstructing and all those TIFFs, Like

896
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: the Steelers could dip into t J. Watts contract if

897
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 2: they wanted, They could.

898
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: Extend Cam Hayward and lower that number pretty easily. Yeah,

899
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that they can do, and there's.

900
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: A lot of cuts coming for all teams. Yeah, you know,

901
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: but yeah, what do you do with Tua, right? I

902
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: mean he's up cheap.

903
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: No, he is, certainly not. That's gonna do it for

904
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: today's show. Uh So, for my partner Matt Williamson, for
