Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I am Dale LOLLI he is Matt Williamson
Speaker 2: and this is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio and Matt.
Speaker 2: Chad Reuter on NFL dot Com has once again released
Speaker 2: a seven round mock draft. All right. I don't always
Speaker 2: agree with with some of the stuff that Chad writes,
Speaker 2: but I would not want to do a seven round
Speaker 2: mock draft.
Speaker 1: No, I would not either. Dane did one a week
Speaker 1: or two ago for the Athletic and it was before
Speaker 1: the Robinson trade because he did the Steelers taking receiver
Speaker 1: pretty high. But I went through it. It was like, man,
Speaker 1: could you imagine doing this many and thinking about all
Speaker 1: the angles and make sure you don't take a receiver
Speaker 1: in the second round and then another one in the
Speaker 1: sixth and of course with his and I assume this
Speaker 1: is with Chad's too about the check it out. You
Speaker 1: can't do trades. I mean as a one human being.
Speaker 2: Yeah you do, I mean you'd lose your mind. Okay,
Speaker 2: I traded that fourth round pick and yeah we get crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: uh so he has Carolina taking Bryce Young number one.
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a Yeah.
Speaker 2: He has Will Levis going to Houston it too.
Speaker 1: I'm glad he did not that I'm saying that. I
Speaker 1: condone it. But that's the latest buzz since you and
Speaker 1: I talked on Wednesday. Is I've heard three or four
Speaker 1: of these sources saying Levis does not get out of
Speaker 1: the top four. You know, I guess his Vegas odds
Speaker 1: went crazy to be the second quarterback taken. I don't
Speaker 1: understand it.
Speaker 2: I don't get it. Yeah, I don't get it at all.
Speaker 1: Right. I think he's big and stiff and this bad
Speaker 1: decision maker, and from what I've been told, his interviews
Speaker 1: weren't phenomenal. Several sources have said that I get that
Speaker 1: he's big and strong and athletic, but man, I I
Speaker 1: would not put my reputation online and use the first
Speaker 1: round pick on them.
Speaker 2: Probably No, I wouldn't either.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: At three, the Cardinals stake Will Anderson.
Speaker 1: Sure, Okay.
Speaker 2: At four, the Colts then take c. J. Stroud. I
Speaker 2: think that's the ideal. I think that's what the Colts
Speaker 2: would like to happen.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think they run to the podium for that.
Speaker 2: The problem is, I think if if Levis goes two,
Speaker 2: somebody's trading up to three to get to get Stroud.
Speaker 1: Probably yeah, and then Arizona's Arizona wants Levis or even
Speaker 1: will and Anderson or Tyree Phillips to go. I think
Speaker 1: they want Stroud to be on the board at three
Speaker 1: if you're the Cardinals.
Speaker 2: Because somebody would be coming up, whether it's the Titans,
Speaker 2: whether it's the Raiders, you know, pick pick one of
Speaker 2: those teams.
Speaker 1: Even he might be one spot, you know, right right.
Speaker 2: At five, the Seahawks take Tyree Wilson.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'd be thrilled with that. I mean almost
Speaker 1: seems like they're destined to get Wilson or Carter.
Speaker 2: It's six, the Lions take Devin Witherspoon, Okay. At seven,
Speaker 2: the Raiders take Christian Gonzales.
Speaker 1: They could use anything. At eight, the Falcon love So
Speaker 1: I'm glad he did this because.
Speaker 2: I Falcons stake Byjon Robinson.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing I've been hearing just the last
Speaker 1: two days. And I always tell myself, don't overreact to
Speaker 1: all the lies and chatter this time of year. But
Speaker 1: the top of this draft isn't great and this guy is.
Speaker 1: I mean, who's the best player in this draft? I
Speaker 1: think it's Jalen Carter, quickly followed by Bijon Robinson. That
Speaker 1: means that doesn't mean the most valuable, but who's the best.
Speaker 1: I think those two are clearly one and two Atlanta.
Speaker 1: They also Atlanta seems like the least analytic based team
Speaker 1: in the league. Like they just paid a guard and
Speaker 1: run the football. They drafted a tight end high like
Speaker 1: all the things the analytic people tell you not to do,
Speaker 1: and they run the ball like crazy. I think that's
Speaker 1: the pick for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that means at nine, the Bears take Jalen Carter.
Speaker 1: Boy, that's a nice pick up at nine. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not calling at nine if I'm the Steelers.
Speaker 2: At ten, the Vikings trade up, so he is doing trades.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, wow, the Vikings trade up and get Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 1: Be a good landing spot for him. Yeah, absolutely understand
Speaker 1: that from a Minnesota perspective. And Eagles, even from an
Speaker 1: Eagles perspective, they're a big trade down team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, get more picks, get another pick next.
Speaker 1: Year, something next year? Right right?
Speaker 2: At eleven, Osirius Torrance to the Titans. Over All, those tackles.
Speaker 1: Over every O lineman, way earlier than either one of
Speaker 1: us have ever seen him go. But I think he's
Speaker 1: awfully safe. I mean, I wouldn't take him at eleven,
Speaker 1: but they need guards and he's really good at it.
Speaker 2: At twelve, the Texans then take Nolan Smith.
Speaker 1: And they went Levis with the first pick. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think one of those two is going to be
Speaker 1: some sort of defensive lineman.
Speaker 2: At thirteen we finally see our first offensive lineman go.
Speaker 2: Peter Skeronski goes to the Jets.
Speaker 1: I think New York could be very happy about that,
Speaker 1: whether they took Jones, Scornsky, Johnson, if you had those
Speaker 1: choices for the Jets, that'd be fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this starts to run on offensive lineman because Broderick
Speaker 2: Jones goes to the Patriots at fourteen, Chris Johnson goes
Speaker 2: at fifteen to the Packers.
Speaker 1: All very believable.
Speaker 2: At sixteen, the commander far for those guys. The Commanders
Speaker 2: go Joey Porter Junior at sixteen.
Speaker 1: I think that's going to break Steeler fan's heart, but
Speaker 1: also has a very good chance of happening.
Speaker 2: He then has the Steelers taking Lucas van Ness, which
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of that move.
Speaker 1: I mean, frankly, if you're going to do that, I
Speaker 1: take Murphy over van Ness.
Speaker 2: I would take Murphy as well, right, I mean, if.
Speaker 1: You're going to take a non traditional steel defensive lineman,
Speaker 1: I prefer Murphey to van Ness. And there's probably five
Speaker 1: other guys I would take ahead of van Ness here.
Speaker 2: I would take Darnell right there, even though even if
Speaker 2: he's a right tackle, he'll still play this year. And
Speaker 2: you know, maybe I move on from Chukes next year,
Speaker 2: or maybe I move Chukes to left tackle. Whatever. I
Speaker 2: would take Brian per Se there.
Speaker 1: I'd take Branch over van Ness. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: would take Banks over van Ness. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just don't get I don't get where this.
Speaker 1: Where.
Speaker 2: If you look at some of the reported needs of
Speaker 2: the Steelers, well they have to take an edge rusher
Speaker 2: in the first three rounds. Really, I don't see that at.
Speaker 1: All, right, I mean they're looking for a third guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not looking for somebody to come in. In fact,
Speaker 2: I saw one yesterday where somebody says they needed an
Speaker 2: edge guy to come in and start. No, they don't,
Speaker 2: they don't.
Speaker 1: And there's a there's that's a once need. It's a
Speaker 1: onet for me. I want to get disruptive, defensive lineman
Speaker 1: till the cows come home. But it's not need.
Speaker 2: No, it's definitely not in need. Elijah Cansey goes at
Speaker 2: eighteen to the Lions. Yeah, and it's strange that he
Speaker 2: had no top thirty visits, really none. He not one
Speaker 2: of the thirty two teams brought him in for a visit.
Speaker 2: So he is either a super clean prospect.
Speaker 1: No questions, or there's not much interest.
Speaker 2: It's one or the other where everybody's trying to smoke
Speaker 2: screen on them. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, and he's in every first round, Mack. It's
Speaker 1: not like I get this guy from pitt no one's
Speaker 1: ever heard of.
Speaker 2: At nineteen, Darnell Wright goes to the Buccaneers.
Speaker 1: I think that's an easy pick for them. I think
Speaker 1: that might be his.
Speaker 2: Floor, which is why I would be on the phone
Speaker 2: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hey, you want you want
Speaker 2: to move up two slots because everybody thinks the Steelers
Speaker 2: are looking lineman. You want to you want to come
Speaker 2: up in you know get Darnel right. At seventeen, we'll
Speaker 2: slide back and maybe take a fourth round pick off
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, moved down on two spots, and if van
Speaker 1: Ness was your guy, you still get them. Probably.
Speaker 2: At twenty the Bills trade up to take the first
Speaker 2: wide receiver, Jacko Smith and Jigba was on. This was
Speaker 2: on the board during The Steelers picked by the Way
Speaker 2: and take Jordan Addison.
Speaker 1: I like Smith and Jigbo way better than Addison, but
Speaker 1: I could see the Bills differing with me. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think they're looking for speed and explosive players. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure Smith and jigbas for them, but he's better
Speaker 1: than Addison. Yeah.
Speaker 2: At twenty one, the Chargers take Dalton Kincaid. I have
Speaker 2: a hard time believing they would pass on Jackson, Smith
Speaker 2: and Jigba, right.
Speaker 1: I agree too if you're looking, and they're not much different.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're both move guys, great, two of the
Speaker 1: best receivers in this class, and it's not like Kim
Speaker 1: Kaid's going to line up him blow defensive ends off
Speaker 1: the ball.
Speaker 2: At twenty two, the Ravens take Jackson, the Smith and.
Speaker 1: Jagba not to home run for them. But I'll bet
Speaker 1: every have that he doesn't last that long.
Speaker 2: I would too. At twenty three, the Eagles that had
Speaker 2: traded down, they take a at a tom Yeah, at
Speaker 2: a Tommy at Abuarre.
Speaker 1: That's Steeler. That's a raven R Eagle pick. I mean,
Speaker 1: just yeah, get random defensive linemen with a lot of
Speaker 1: talent with the block, and you picked up some stuff
Speaker 1: in the process. Cool.
Speaker 2: At twenty four, the Chiefs trade up for Ze Flowers, but.
Speaker 1: That'd be a great fit for him. At twenty receiver
Speaker 1: run you might want to do that, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right because at twenty five, Jalen Hyak goes to
Speaker 2: the Giants.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I know a lot of people give
Speaker 1: them Addison or Flowers. I mean they have a million
Speaker 1: slots as it is. I mean they kind of need
Speaker 1: either somebody.
Speaker 2: On the outside with some speed. Yeah, right right. At
Speaker 2: twenty six, the Cowboys take Trent and Simpson.
Speaker 1: They're always a hard one. I think Detackle Brise would
Speaker 1: be in play there. Simpson makes sense, though, I mean
Speaker 1: they don't want Parsons off the ball.
Speaker 2: At twenty seven, the Seahawks take Cody match More.
Speaker 1: I look at him the higher I think he's gonna go.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he's a tackle, but I
Speaker 1: think he can play five spots and can excel at
Speaker 1: the interior. Three.
Speaker 2: Yeah. At twenty eight, the Bengals take Michael Mayer.
Speaker 1: I would think they're thrilled about that. I mean, if
Speaker 1: they'd be happy with one tight end off the board
Speaker 1: at twenty eight.
Speaker 2: At twenty nine, Miles Murphy goes to the Saints.
Speaker 1: That's a home run.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would have been happy taking Miles Murphy
Speaker 2: at seventeen.
Speaker 1: Rather, yeah, I'd have preferred it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: At thirty, the Raiders trade up back up into the
Speaker 2: first round to take Kendon Hooker.
Speaker 1: Interesting, and I know this is a little off topic,
Speaker 1: but he's like two or three years older than Trey Lance,
Speaker 1: you know, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2: Rather I would probably he's played a heck of a
Speaker 2: lot more and he's turnt, but he's played a lot
Speaker 2: more than Trey Lance he has.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: It was also happens to be like, nobody knows that
Speaker 2: Trey Lance is going to be fully recovered.
Speaker 1: No, I know he's fighting something too, and quarterback age
Speaker 1: doesn't really bother me, but I just heard that the
Speaker 1: other day. I'm like, I forgot how young Lance is.
Speaker 1: When he came to the league, he was a twenty
Speaker 1: year old.
Speaker 2: But he still he's thrown three hundred passes since he's
Speaker 2: since he left college, or since he left high school.
Speaker 1: High school, right, right, get the COVID year that killed
Speaker 1: him two and brutal.
Speaker 2: At thirty one. The Jaguars take a Manuel Forbes, I.
Speaker 1: Would strongly consider him at thirty two.
Speaker 2: Well, that takes us to thirty two, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: I haven't looked to see who he has the Steelers
Speaker 2: taking up, but if it's not Brian Burs or a cornerback.
Speaker 1: Branch of Merselle, I think has to be, the pick
Speaker 1: has to be.
Speaker 2: The pick has to be. And he has them taking
Speaker 2: Anton Harrison.
Speaker 1: In a vacuum. I don't have a problem with Harrison
Speaker 1: at thirty two, or Forbes or Darnel Washington for that matter,
Speaker 1: but I think they were given a gift in Bersee
Speaker 1: slash Branch at thirty two. You got to accept the
Speaker 1: gift absolutely, absolutely. Maybe wouldn't take per Se because he
Speaker 1: took van Ness and they're both maybe yeah types, okay,
Speaker 1: But then you take Branch.
Speaker 2: At thirty three, Quinton Johnston, Deontay Banks goes thirty four.
Speaker 2: Deontay Banks was still available there too. At thirty two. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Kaylee Ringo goes to the Colts. At thirty five. Brian
Speaker 2: Branch goes to the Patriots. They traded up with the
Speaker 2: Rams to go get that picks.
Speaker 1: This is a nice place to pick here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Brse then goes thirty seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Gibbs after that's a really good player too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Eagles. The Eagles traded back because Oakland. Whenever
Speaker 2: the Raiders went up and got the quarterback, they get
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Will McDonald goes thirty nine to the Panthers. Steve Avilla
Speaker 2: goes to the Saints at forty Keyom Wade at forty one,
Speaker 2: to the Titans, Darnell Washington at forty two to the Packers.
Speaker 1: That's the Packers, and it just got taken. That could
Speaker 1: go twentieth overall just as easily as fortieth. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The Packers then trade up with the Jets. I wonder
Speaker 2: if this is part of the Aaron Rodgers deal that
Speaker 2: makes sense. Doesn't say to get Mazie Smith.
Speaker 1: Because the Jets do have doing forty three, and in
Speaker 1: this instance, Green Bay is forty two. Forty three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're both. They're both so it would be Darnell
Speaker 2: Washington and Mazee Smith for Aaron Rodgers. I still don't
Speaker 2: like that, even if it's just even if it's just
Speaker 2: one year of Aaron Rodgers, that's not a good deal.
Speaker 1: Right, And maybe there's a future pick. They don't give
Speaker 1: us this. You know what the trade is, and there's
Speaker 1: caps base involved and all that, but it doesn't make
Speaker 1: you a better football team. No.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Packers then after the Falcons takes Cedric Tillman,
Speaker 2: the Packers then take Jonathan Mingo.
Speaker 1: Wow, three picks out of four.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Rams, who had traded back with the Patriots,
Speaker 2: take bj Ojalai at forty six. Forty seven is Luke
Speaker 2: Musgrave goes to the Commanders. Forty eight, Noah Souol goes
Speaker 2: to the Lions, so they have both soul brothers.
Speaker 1: Too early.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And at forty nine, the Steelers take Sidney Brown,
Speaker 2: the safety out of Illinois. Now, I like Sidney Brown.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say the same thing, too early.
Speaker 2: But I don't like him as much as I like
Speaker 2: his teammate, right, and I bet he also I could
Speaker 2: play cornerback.
Speaker 1: There's no way, he'd make my top fifty. Right, he's
Speaker 1: a player, but he's the third rounder to me at
Speaker 1: fifty backles he's I mean, he's a trend center. I
Speaker 1: like the player, but.
Speaker 2: Cam Smith was still on the board at fifty. He
Speaker 2: goes to the Buccaneers. The Dolphins take Sam Laporta. Tyreek
Speaker 2: Stevenson goes to the Seahawks. The Bears take Matthew berger On.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'd much rather have him than Brown. Yeah, i'd
Speaker 1: much I mean Harrison.
Speaker 2: So if I didn't take Anton Harrison, I'm more than
Speaker 2: happy to take Matthew berser On at forty nine.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean I'd take that right the second.
Speaker 2: Not to mention the k State cornerback is still on
Speaker 2: the board. Oh the ed rusher, No, the cornerback. Oh yeah, Brent,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, right, yeah, I'll take him all day at
Speaker 2: forty nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 2: Tucker Kraft goes to fifty five to Lions, Gervin Dexter
Speaker 2: to the Jaguars, the Giants and take John Michael Schmidt's
Speaker 2: Josh Downs to the Cowboys, Drew Sanders to Buffalo.
Speaker 1: That's pretty late, boy. They'd be thrilled with that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Bengals get Zach Sharbonney. I like that fit
Speaker 2: she Rice goes to the Bears. Antonio Yeah yeah, Antonio
Speaker 2: Johnson goes to the Eagles, and then Tyler Stein finishes
Speaker 2: off the second round by going to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: When I first dug into Steen, I thought he was
Speaker 1: going to be a nice fourth round pick, you know,
Speaker 1: not a real flashy dude. He's going day two.
Speaker 2: He's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, he's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Moving on the round three, Byron Young is the
Speaker 2: first pick. The edge rusher out of Tennessee to the Bears.
Speaker 2: Joe Tipman a good player.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Joe Tipman goes to the Texans at sixty five. Love that.
Speaker 2: Marvin Mims goes to the Cardinals at sixty six, Keanu
Speaker 2: Benten at sixty seven to the Broncos.
Speaker 1: In this neighborhood too, yeah.
Speaker 2: Julius Brentz finally goes. He goes to the Broncos at
Speaker 2: sixty eight. Then DJ Turner, right cornerback from Michigan, goes
Speaker 2: to the Rams.
Speaker 1: One of those guys in the third round, sign me up. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anthony Bradford of LSU Guard goes to the Raiders. Isa
Speaker 2: Spears goes Isaiah Fosky goes Jack Campbell at seventy three
Speaker 2: to the Texans.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is really late.
Speaker 2: If it gets to that point and I'm the Steelers
Speaker 2: sitting there at eighty, I'm trying to trade up to
Speaker 2: get Jack Campbell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would too, And I'm really warm enough to
Speaker 1: die on Henley too, who goes two picks later.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If there's a chance one of those two can get
Speaker 1: to you in the third round, Wow, that's a gift.
Speaker 2: He is the Browns first pick in the draft at
Speaker 2: seventy four, as a running back for them, Zack Evans
Speaker 2: out of Mississippi. I can't see him doing that in
Speaker 2: the first with their first pick.
Speaker 1: I would think it's somewhere up the middle of their defense.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I bet they draft the back. I mean
Speaker 1: they should. They should add another.
Speaker 2: The Patriots state Kendre Miller, the running back out of TCU.
Speaker 2: Do they need another back?
Speaker 1: No, They've been linked the Beijon two, which makes zero
Speaker 1: sense to me. Like I think Stevenson's one of their
Speaker 1: top five players.
Speaker 2: The Rams take JL Skinner, the Packers take Jordan's Battle,
Speaker 2: The Colts take Day one Jones. How about day onon
Speaker 2: Jones going seventy ninth, one pick ahead of the Steelers,
Speaker 2: who then take Tank Dell. I hate that pick.
Speaker 1: Hate that pick.
Speaker 2: He's an overaged, tiny slot receiver.
Speaker 1: Super productive, super electric, all that stuff, but he's tiny.
Speaker 2: They have him. His name's Calvin Austin and he's two
Speaker 2: years younger than Tank Dell.
Speaker 1: In Austin, I think Austin's a much better prospect. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I don't like the I think this is a pretty
Speaker 1: good mocho and all. But I haven't approved the Steeler picks,
Speaker 1: not one bit. Yeah right, especially what else is out there.
Speaker 2: At eighty one, Aiden o'conna goes to the Lions. Zach
Speaker 2: Kuintz at eighty two goes to the Bucks. Owen Pappo,
Speaker 2: the linebacker out of Auburn, goes at eighty three to
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. I'm just gonna skip through to the interesting
Speaker 2: ones here.
Speaker 1: Jaris eighty sixth to the Ravens. Jay R.
Speaker 2: Brown goes eighty five to the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Like the Eagles pick here too, Toto, I always butcher
Speaker 1: his name, but yeah, I'm warming up to him in
Speaker 1: the third round for the Steelers too. I think he's
Speaker 1: a really good player.
Speaker 2: Schoonmaker goes at eighty eight to the Jaguars. Derek Hall
Speaker 2: falls all the way to eighty nine to the Giants.
Speaker 1: He seems to have no helium right now. And I
Speaker 1: don't understand why.
Speaker 2: He's six three. He's two hundred and fifty pounds and
Speaker 2: he ran a four to five to one. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: he was productive at Auburn.
Speaker 1: He's a good edge rusher at a premium position. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's just a case of being such a good edge
Speaker 1: draft that teams with edge in the first two or
Speaker 1: three needs already have their guy. I don't know.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys take him way over Tanked Dell.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The Cowboys take Israel Abacananda had a pitt.
Speaker 1: I think that's the neighborhood he ends up landing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Bengals take Jacoram Bennett, the cornerback out of
Speaker 2: Maryland in ninety two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to know more about him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not bad.
Speaker 1: He's not bad.
Speaker 2: Parker Washington from Penn Steako's to the Panther. Daniel Scott,
Speaker 2: the safety out of cow goes to the Jaguars at
Speaker 2: ninety five. Steel has brought him in for a visit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, big safety. I like him.
Speaker 2: In ninety seven, Dorian Williams, the Tulane linebacker goes to
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1: He's probably my sick him or Toto or my favorite
Speaker 1: mid third round pick type guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Browns at ninety eight take Ika Ika is
Speaker 2: finally off the board.
Speaker 1: They could use them then.
Speaker 2: He doesn't give you anything as a pass rusher, right,
Speaker 2: but he will be their number one defensive tackle right
Speaker 2: out of the gate.
Speaker 1: Him and Tomlin's gonna be hard to move. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Jamie Robinson goes to the Raiders at one hundred
Speaker 2: and finally at one oh two. Oh our guy, Dartavius
Speaker 2: Martin finally goes at one o two to the San
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine Ers.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, I mean, so we always know the Niners
Speaker 1: have a bunch of picks here. They end up with
Speaker 1: Blake Freeland, Zach Harrison. I could give her take, but
Speaker 1: you end up with Freeland and Martin at the end
Speaker 1: of the third round. That's doing nice business there.
Speaker 2: I just don't see either one of those guys lasting
Speaker 2: that long. No, moving on to round four. Yeah, first
Speaker 2: pick of round four is Chase Brown, the Illinois running
Speaker 2: back who's the brother of Sydney Brown. Clark Phillips at
Speaker 2: one O four to the Texans is really nice value.
Speaker 1: I think he's the second rounder.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Rashawn Johnson goes at one O five. The other
Speaker 2: Texas running back, Brenton Strange, who's gained a lot of
Speaker 2: steam here in recent weeks as the tight end from
Speaker 2: Penn State, goes at one oh seven.
Speaker 1: Transferre Ah Jane goes the next pick. I mean, I
Speaker 1: could see two or three teams loving him. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't want him on my fantasy team, but you'd love
Speaker 1: to have him in your backfield for spot duty.
Speaker 2: He goes at one oh eight to the Broncos. Jayden Reed,
Speaker 2: who the Steelers brought in for a visit. The Michigan
Speaker 2: state wide receiver goes to the Falcons. The Falcons took
Speaker 2: two wide receivers and a running back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what happened.
Speaker 2: The Browns then take kJ Henry the edge rusher at
Speaker 2: a Clemson Luke Whipler goes to the Jets at one twelve.
Speaker 1: Heard a lot of scuttle that people are expecting them
Speaker 1: to do the It's not exactly mangoled in the brickish shop,
Speaker 1: but don't be shocked if they take a tackle and
Speaker 1: a center.
Speaker 2: Okay, juan Ya Morris, the other offensive tackle out of Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: goes at one fourteen to the Panthers.
Speaker 1: Kind of like him too, really talented. Doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: the hardest.
Speaker 2: Of workers has played on both sides though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: Brendan Hill, the pit safety, goes at one fifteen to
Speaker 2: the Saints.
Speaker 1: Your boy coming up here. One seventeen, one seventeen.
Speaker 2: Nick Herbert goes to the Rams at one seventeen.
Speaker 1: It started immediately, and boy, I'd use that that neighborhood
Speaker 1: to pick on him in two seconds.
Speaker 2: Yeah. At one eighteen, Sydney City Sal goes to the Commanders,
Speaker 2: the guard out of Eastern Michigan who had a really
Speaker 2: nice off season.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's good.
Speaker 2: Cayu Blue Kelly goes to the Vikings at one nineteen,
Speaker 2: and then at one twenty, the Steelers finally take a cornerback.
Speaker 2: This is why this is not happening, folks. Mackai Back Blackman,
Speaker 2: the cornerback out of USC goes to the Steelers at
Speaker 2: one twenty.
Speaker 1: And I can live with the Steelers corners, but I
Speaker 1: am a huge believer that they're going to take one
Speaker 1: early and yeah.
Speaker 2: Let alone a senior, a red shirt senior in blackman
Speaker 2: r right. I mean, it just goes against everything that
Speaker 2: they do. Garrett Williams goes at one twenty two to
Speaker 2: the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'd love that the.
Speaker 2: Seahawks take Tanner McKee. The Ravens take Totlly to a
Speaker 2: Polo two the edge rusher out of USC at one
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 1: This neighborhood. I'm fine with him. Second round.
Speaker 2: I don't see that's a little rich.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh. At one twenty six, the Rave or the Browns
Speaker 2: take to Marvin Overshawan. They already have him.
Speaker 1: What's that they already.
Speaker 2: Have the Marvin Overshawn They do an undersize Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what they need is another undersized, running hit linebacker. You
Speaker 2: find the field up with them. Yeah yah ya. Diabi
Speaker 2: goes to the Jaguars at one twenty seven.
Speaker 1: I would take him and Riley Moss yere in hard.
Speaker 2: Riley Moss at one twenty eight. I'd rather have him
Speaker 2: over the over the cornerbacks the Steelers took.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Josh Wiley, the Cincinnati tight end, goes to the Cowboys
Speaker 2: at one twenty nine. At one thirty one, Vallami Fajeiko
Speaker 2: Junior San Jose Steak goes to the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Goes the wrong team though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Davis Allen goes to the Bears at one thirty three.
Speaker 2: Still shows you how deep this tight end class is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just a quality guys. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Andre Yuasivus goes at one thirty five to the Rams,
Speaker 2: the big receiver out of Princeton one. Moving on to
Speaker 2: the fifth round here, the Steelers, of course don't have
Speaker 2: a pick here. We'll just kind of move through these
Speaker 2: and see who they have the So at the Browns
Speaker 2: take Warren McLendon, that Georgia offensive tackle. The other one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they also then at one take Carrington Valentine, the cornerback
Speaker 2: out of Kentucky.
Speaker 1: I don't know much about him, but yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: The Jets take Carl Brooks with the next pick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like bro.
Speaker 2: The Steelers like Carl Brooks. I'm just here to tell
Speaker 2: you that now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see why.
Speaker 2: Christopher Smith goes to the Panthers at one forty five.
Speaker 2: Let's see here. Moving on down, the Ravens take Dorian
Speaker 2: Thompson Robinson at one fifty seven.
Speaker 1: That would makes sense. I mean, he can be a
Speaker 1: better version of Huntley in time, no matter.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, let's see here. The Bengals take Brandon Joseph
Speaker 2: the safety had a note dame at won sixty three.
Speaker 1: That makes some sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, compensatory picks. None of the teams in the AFC
Speaker 2: rus or ossi A. Dennis Goes at one seventy two
Speaker 2: had a pit. Michael Wilson at one seventy four to
Speaker 2: the Raiders, Trevius Hodges, Tomlinson at one seventy five to
Speaker 2: the Bucks. Wow, there's some guys there that. Yeah. Round six,
Speaker 2: the Chiefs kick things off by taking Trey Palmer at
Speaker 2: one seventy eight. You get the fastest wide receiver in
Speaker 2: the draft speak Chiefs that lads.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see him going past on the dudes
Speaker 1: they have on the depth chart.
Speaker 2: Just looking here we get, uh the Browns at one
Speaker 2: ninety take Andrew Vorheist, the guard out of USC who's
Speaker 2: got it has torn acl but you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a nice pick. Zach Pickens at one eighty five too,
Speaker 1: it's way too.
Speaker 2: Way too late. Charlie Jones at one to the Patriots,
Speaker 2: the wide receiver at a Purdue. That's a great VUYE,
Speaker 2: doesn't I mean, yeah, they could use him.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Carter Warren, the offensive tackle out of pitt goes to
Speaker 2: the Broncos at one. That was the Steelers pick there, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet he goes earlier than that too, noticeably
Speaker 1: earlier than that.
Speaker 2: Emil ichor the Alabama guard goes at one to the Ravens.
Speaker 1: Okay, now the interior line's not set. They lost a
Speaker 1: garden free agency.
Speaker 2: Andre Carter finally comes off the board at two o
Speaker 2: four to the Raiders.
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but that's where you should.
Speaker 2: That's where he Yeah, he's getting any time. Rice Ford Wheaton,
Speaker 2: the wide receiver out of West Virginia, goes at two
Speaker 2: oh six to the Bengals.
Speaker 1: I'll take that risk that late. I mean, he's just
Speaker 1: a trades dude, big vast wrong, you know.
Speaker 2: Right. It gets it for the AFC North teams and the.
Speaker 1: Patriots almost looks like it has to happen. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: Bennett and Bailey's Appy battling it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, seventh round, of course, the Steelers have two
Speaker 2: picks here, cruising on down. Deuce Vaughn finally goes at
Speaker 2: two twenty three to the Rams.
Speaker 1: Okay, he's interesting guy. And for a seventh round pick.
Speaker 2: The Browns take Oklahoma State safety Jason Taylor at two
Speaker 2: twenty nine.
Speaker 1: There's a pick here at twenty six, Jane Ward from
Speaker 1: LSU that I think he's your michelob Ultra, Brian Branch,
Speaker 1: I mean he is, yeah, player that I think is
Speaker 1: more like a fourth round pick.
Speaker 2: Aubrey Miller junior. Like him. He goes to the Packers
Speaker 2: at two thirty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't work.
Speaker 2: The Steelers take linebacker Yazir Abdullah out of Louisville at
Speaker 2: two forty one.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, I don't think he'll last that long.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's more of a fifty six round
Speaker 1: like guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't see that happening neither. The
Speaker 2: Bengals take Charlie Thomas, the Georgia Tech linebacker, to forty six.
Speaker 1: Much about him, He's pretty, he's not bad.
Speaker 2: He's little, undersize, but not bad. Uh. And then the Steelers.
Speaker 1: You're saying, Jake Witt, if viewer to Jake Witt from
Speaker 1: the Northern Great Tester, and it looks like he's playing
Speaker 1: against high school kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's northern Michigan, right right. The Steelers at
Speaker 2: two fifty one. Take Olu Oloa Teamy the center out
Speaker 2: of Michigan.
Speaker 1: That's a steal.
Speaker 2: It's a steal.
Speaker 1: But another center, no, I know, but for a seventh
Speaker 1: round pick. If he's a number two center for the
Speaker 1: you know you or your swing guy on the inside.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just don't know how taking two. I
Speaker 2: don't see how two offensive linemen, two drafted offensive lineman
Speaker 2: make this team.
Speaker 1: Oh I hear you there. Yeah, I mean that's something
Speaker 1: I'm sure a national seven round mock with taking the
Speaker 1: consideration that there's just not two roster spots available.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Max Dugan or Doug and I should say goes
Speaker 2: at two fifty two to the Bucks. Jayleen Marino proper
Speaker 2: at two fifty three.
Speaker 1: PJ Dougan might be Taysom Hill.
Speaker 2: Everybody's going to try to get Taysom Hill and the like.
Speaker 2: Taysom Hill is just this whatever. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: argue that anymore. Mister irrelevant is David Durden, West Florida
Speaker 2: wide receiver to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 1: No clue who he is, but never heard of him before.
Speaker 2: Kind of looks like Matt Canada. That was Shad Reuter's
Speaker 2: seven round mock draft for the entire league.
Speaker 1: Didn't love it.
Speaker 2: I didn't love it for the Steelers. There were some
Speaker 2: good ideas in there. Didn't love it for the Steelers.
Speaker 1: No, right, I like Bijeon going early. I was a
Speaker 1: sad of with levis curious. What the I mentioned this
Speaker 1: last show that I just did a mock where the
Speaker 1: Steelers took Miles Murphy in the first round and they
Speaker 1: took Van Ness and this one just wanted to see
Speaker 1: what it looked like. I think it's very feasible, But
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have made these picks, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: A lot of chances to take a better corner than
Speaker 1: they did, and et cetera.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were guys on the on the board who
Speaker 2: I think they have have shown more interest in that
Speaker 2: he didn't take to take right Willie Nilly guys.
