00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: Welcome bird Gang. On today's show, we mock it up

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: our one and only mock draft of twenty twenty two.

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: How do we see the first round going? And more importantly,

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: who's the choice at number twenty three? But first roster

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: moves and at positions of need. It's Cardinals Cover two,

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Episode five fifty seven, and it starts now. Welcome to

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: catch at a muchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's Craig Griolu and

12
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki. So how excited are you? MG? The draft

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: literally just hours away. Well, I'm excited. I enjoy the

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: draft process. You know how I feel. You and I

15
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: got a chance to work over the last couple of years.

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm not into mock drafts. I'm more into big boards.

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: And you know, once again, these mock drafts, obviously they

18
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: create conversation, which I get. But at the end of

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: the day, they're not making the picks content. That's what

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: the mock drafts have provided everyone over the last several weeks,

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 1: several months, speaking of which, we are going to present

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: our own mock drafts. But contain your excitement, burd Gang

23
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: for just a moment, because we do have some non

24
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: draft news. Cardinals have resigned cornerback Antonio Hamilton and claimed

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: outside linebacker Rondell Carter off Waivers. Hamilton more of a

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: special teams player, though we did start two games last season,

27
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: becomes the seventh cornerback on the roster. A veteran, this

28
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: will be his seventh season. He did perform well when

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: called upon. I just don't know if you can ask

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: for him to do a whole lot. But the Cardinals

31
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: didn't last season. Well, we know at one point they

32
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: were playing Brion Borders, who's still on the rostery young fellow,

33
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: and he was throwing into the mix and obviously didn't

34
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: get the call on the Tyler Lockett touchdown, So you

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: know you want to have some depth there. He does,

36
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: being veteran experience, and I would agree with you a

37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: special teams player. So again, I don't think that's going

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: to preclude this team from you know, taking a corner

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: maybe in the second or third round, or possibly the

40
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: last day of the draft. And we're still hoping at

41
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: least here on Cardinals covered too, presented by Hyundai, probably

42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals. We've made no secret of

43
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: our love affair, if you will, of Robert Offord, even

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: from the moment that he was signed back in the

45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: day when the Cardinals had the opportunity to sign him

46
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: after the Atlanta Falcons released him before the start of

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: free agency. So keep an eye on Offered as well.

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: Another veteran depth guy who I think really was an

49
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: unsung hero in that secondary last season upright until he

50
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: got hurt. Well, when it's all sudden done, he is

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: their most physical corner and I think he would have

52
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: been a good matchup on Odell Beckham. I don't know

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: if it would have affected the game necessarily, because Cardinals

54
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: obviously didn't play well and they fell behind twenty one nothing,

55
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: and it's stuff to beat the Rams on the road

56
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: like that. But I think, you know, bringing in Jeff Gladney,

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: they're not forced to take a corn in the first

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: or second round. I believe that because this guy is

59
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: a former first round pick. You gotta you used a

60
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: second round pick on Byron Murphy. You moved up in

61
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: the fourth round to get Marco Wilson, and so you know,

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: and then we'll see. You know, Murphy's better suited to

63
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: play inside. Gladne can play inside and outside. And I think,

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's based on a little bit of highlights.

65
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: I watched the guy's very physical against the run, and

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: they need somebody like that, not more of a finesse cornerback.

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: I think it all depends on how the board shakes out. Sure,

68
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: if they have one of the corners rated very, very high,

69
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: then you select him and you just work it out.

70
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: You play three corners, you play four corners. You're gonna

71
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: need cornerbacks in this league, not just for twenty twenty two,

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: but beyond. The other roster move made Rondel Carter rejoins

73
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. He spent most of the last season in

74
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: the practice squad prior to signing with the Texans in

75
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: late December. Played in one game for Houston. It was

76
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: Week sixteen against the Chargers. They released him. So the

77
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: Cardinals say, hey, six foot three, two hundred seventy pound

78
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, we liked you enough to keep you around

79
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: for much of last season, just weren't quite ready to

80
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: be on the active roster. So we'll see what happens

81
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: in again a depth move your fifth outside linebacker as

82
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: we speak here on this Wednesday, the day before the

83
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL Draft, And again, much like the

84
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Hamilton's signing, this doesn't mean outside linebacker edge rusher is

85
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: off the table in the first round and the second

86
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: round or in the third round. Couldn't agree more. I mean,

87
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: you can you never have an up depth right now

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: on paper. The only starter you can look at as

89
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden, and then you throw in Kennard and Victor Dimocchi,

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: and then after that you know you're looking for some

91
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: more depth. And I do think they're gonna have to

92
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: address the outside linebacker slash edge rusher and also the

93
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: defensive line in the draft at some point. And the

94
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: edge rusher. I would certainly like this team to pick

95
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: up a veteran someone to come in and be that

96
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: Week one guy opposite Marcus Golden until whomever the young

97
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: player is that is selected over the next three days

98
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: is up to speed. Unless you find that guy and

99
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden during the offseason training camp. He's ready,

100
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: but you just don't know. And I don't think you

101
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: can plan on that. You can't go in saying all right,

102
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: it's Marcus Golden and whomever we draft that That to

103
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: me is not good planning on a front office's part. Yeah,

104
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: and you know, just spit bowling here. You know, I

105
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: always looked at Anthony Barr, but I don't I think

106
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: he's more of an inside linebacker, so that wouldn't make sense.

107
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,559
Speaker 1: And just another guy out there in Carlos Dunlop. Again,

108
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't have any insight. He's thirty three years old,

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: had a really good career in Cincinnati, played left defensive end.

110
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: Last year he played in Seattle and he played outside

111
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: linebackers slash shit is with his hand the dirt. He

112
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: is thirty three, and that could be one of those

113
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: signings where you bringing a veteran guys, you said, and

114
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, everyone on the depth

115
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: chart either goes down or up. And he again, if

116
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: you play, if you draft a rookie, whether it's a

117
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: first day, second day, he's not going to play sixty

118
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: five snaps. But you need some veteran presence out there,

119
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: especially when you get to the fourth quarter with these

120
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: two moves, now Hamilton and Carter, nineteen roster moves, and

121
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: I go back to when they resign zach Ertz on

122
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: that Sunday going into the legal tamp rain period. So

123
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: nineteen roster moves. Thirteen have been retaining players from last season,

124
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: including ten unrestricted free agents. It goes back to what

125
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: we've been talking about, the known versus the unknown, something

126
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: General manager Steve com was asked about during his pre

127
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: draft press conference. Quote, guys who have come back and

128
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: know what we're getting in terms of preparation, work ethic

129
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: and attention to detail. That's the hardest part about free

130
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: agency end quotes. So, yeah, it is nice to have

131
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: those new toys, if you will. And I understand filling

132
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: holes for players that were lost, I e. Chandler Jones,

133
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: not so much with Christian Kirk. I do think they're

134
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: okay with Ron del Moore. Yet at the same time,

135
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 1: they made it a point a priority to bring back

136
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Arts James Connor, cult McCoy your top three perhaps priority

137
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: players on the offensive then to kind of show her

138
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: up that production, especially at pass catcher and a running

139
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: back spot. Now you have your starting tight end and

140
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: you're starting running back. Yeah, and you know, on offense,

141
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean they're likely going to add probably an interior

142
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: offensive alignment. I think they would like to get a receiver,

143
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: and then really the focus should be on the defense

144
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: at some point, edge rusher, defensive alignement, cornerback. You know,

145
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: you can never have enough cornerbacks, you can never have

146
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: enough defensive alignment based on rotation. So and they're gonna

147
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: stick to the board, but there's also going to be

148
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: a need in there. What they didn't do in free

149
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: agency they will have to address in the draft, and

150
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: if not, they'll figure that part out before they go

151
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: to training camp again. Eight draft picks, one in each

152
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: the first, second and third rounds, two in the sixth,

153
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: and three in the seventh. We'll see what happens, you know, fourth,

154
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: fifth round. But there is going to be some movement.

155
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: There's always movement, and it's just hard to predict because

156
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: in the moment, yeah, you want you see players fall

157
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: or you're looking at a player that you're like a

158
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: lot highly were highly graded and all of a sudden,

159
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: as are we need to figure out a way to

160
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: get this player, I e. Marco Wilson last season, but

161
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: the draft capital at the moment is just not very

162
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: strong for the Arizona Cardinals. Speaking of the twenty twenty

163
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: two NFL Draft, the Draft Party presented by Arizona four

173
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: Go to Sportsman's Park AZ dot com. All right, are

174
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: you ready? MJ? This, by the way, is the eighty

175
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: seventh edition of the Draft. Not sure if you saw this,

176
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: but Peter King, who I think is one of the

177
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: most respected writers locally nationally that covers the NFL, but

178
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: he had this note. I don't know if this is

179
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: going to come to fruition, but the unpredictability of this

180
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: draft and the lack of quarterbacks, number of quarterbacks that

181
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: people project in the top fifteen or top ten. But

182
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: Peter King made this notes, and I think this was

183
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. This draft in twenty twenty two might

184
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: be the first draft in history that, as hero quote,

185
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: no one who touches the ball getting picked in the

186
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: top ten. In other words, no quarterback, no running back,

187
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: no wide receiver, no tight end in the top ten. Now,

188
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: how likely is that to be? Meaning you're going to

189
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: have more offense and linemen, more defensive players. I expect

190
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback to hear his name called in the top ten.

191
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: I certainly expect a wide receiver to hear their name

192
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: called in the top ten, but maybe only one each.

193
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: So you're looking at two of the first ten picks

194
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: with a skilled position player, someone as Peter King road

195
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: touches the ball. It would be fascinating if what he

196
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: writes predicts actually comes to fruition On Thursday. Yeah, you

197
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: were pretty consistent that eventually, when we get to this point,

198
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: we're going to see a quarterback in the top ten.

199
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: And I think the first possibility would be sixth overall

200
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: to the Carolina Panthers now. Their owner, Dave Tepper, came

201
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: out today and he's really excited about Sam Darnold and

202
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: he gave a to confidence to Matt Rule. Yes, and

203
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: so you know they have Donald, but you see the

204
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: answer long term, if you're Matt Rule, you want to

205
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: find that guy in, you know, depending on how Darnald plays.

206
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: But you know, initially I thought maybe, but you're right.

207
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: It's it's a premium the position in who knows all

208
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: the three of these quarterbacks are going to panel. It's

209
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Malik Willis, you're throwing Cody Pickett, Matt Correll, Um Desmond

210
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: Ritter writer. Right, Yeah, so we don't know, but next

211
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: year you're going to see at least three or four

212
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks going to top ten. That's the difference from this

213
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: year's class to next year's class. And there's a really

214
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: a lot of good offensive tackles that are really good cornerbacks.

215
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we could see a couple of cornerbacks in

216
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: the top ten, top fifteen. It's again, it's it's a

217
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: it's a lot of unpredictability. No one knows what's going

218
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: to happen, maybe more so this year than any year.

219
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: And the past, and it does seem that perhaps maybe

220
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: not top heavy, and that's what you hear a lot.

221
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: This draft is not very top heavy at a lot

222
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: of positions. But what it is is deep at a

223
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: lot of positions. Deep as far as getting a player

224
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: in the fifth, sixth, maybe even seventh round. Because what's

225
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: happened and Drew Grigson made this comment on the Big

226
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: Red Rage, the Cardinals director of player personnel. Because of COVID,

227
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: a lot of college players chose to stay in school

228
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: and play another year. So if you were projected to

229
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: be a seventh round pick or undrafted, now, all of

230
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, maybe you're able to improve your

231
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: stock a little bit. There's more, there's a deeper pool

232
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: to wear a pick in the seventh round. Wait a year,

233
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, maybe that's you know,

234
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: or earlier, maybe that's an undrafted free agent. You'll be

235
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: able to get a little bit more talents in the

236
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: later round, specifically on Day three. Yeah, and it seems like,

237
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, I think a dresser is deep. I think

238
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver is deep. I think tackle is deep. Corner again, Yeah,

239
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: so I think you know when you're picking twenty five

240
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: to forty five, depending on what you like. I think

241
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: those grades are gonna be very similar across the board. Now,

242
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: each position obviously gets a different grade or different player,

243
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: but there's not a huge drop off. I mean, depending

244
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: on what you're looking for. You know, you know, you

245
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: look at it. Sometimes well you get the sixth best receiver. Really,

246
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter that. How do they fit your system,

247
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: how do they fit the scheme? You know, who else

248
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: do they have around them them make them better? But

249
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: you got to stick to your guns and feel that

250
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: you put the work in and you make sure you

251
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: draft these guys that you think is going to have

252
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: a future in your franchise. And a warning and maybe

253
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: not so much a warning, but just a cautionary statement,

254
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: if you will, when you are watching the drafts and

255
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: there is a surprise or a perceived surprise, or the

256
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals select a player that wait a second, you have

257
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: never even heard of, or well they haven't been mocked. Well,

258
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: because you're talking about people that are on the outside

259
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: looking at these prospects. And who's to say at number

260
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: twenty three, that's the cardinals tenth best player that they

261
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: graded because based off of what they're looking for, what

262
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: they need and how they will fit within their offense

263
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: or defense. So just because things transpire that are maybe

264
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: a little bit unpredictable or out of the norm, if

265
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: you will, well, waits until you hear from the general

266
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: manager of the head coach, wait until you see these players.

267
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: And that's why the grades post draft are kind of laughable.

268
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: We talk about them. It's again great content, but no

269
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: one knows. You need five years to kind of figure

270
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: out just how well a draft pick is going to be,

271
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: and some take longer and some obviously it's luch quicker

272
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: to figure out whether they can play. And there's an

273
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: expectation depending on where your name is called Day one,

274
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: Day two, or day three. No, you make an excellent point,

275
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: and people got to remember this, and the media and

276
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,239
Speaker 1: fans will be surprised, but these teams are not surprised

277
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: because they've done the work. You know, you know, I

278
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: mentioned on the REDC Report on Tuesday. I want chaos.

279
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: I want trades because quarterbacks taken off the board. Yeah,

280
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: I want at least two or three before the Cardinals pick,

281
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: because that means position players are possibly get pushed down.

282
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: But when we see a trader like wow, well, these

283
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: teams have been talking about these trades for the last

284
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: couple of days. I mean, you put feelers out there, Hey,

285
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: are you open for business? Sure we are, We're open

286
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: for business. And you when you have eight teams that

287
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: have multiple picks in the first round, there's gonna be

288
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: some movements. So when we sit there and your jaw

289
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: drops and you're like, wow, listen, it's wild to us

290
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: because we didn't see it or here for the last

291
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: four months. But for these teams, that was the plan

292
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: going in. And what about those teams that don't have

293
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick Bears, Broncos, Browns, Dolphins, Colts, Raiders,

294
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers and Rams. Do they make a move

295
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: to get into the first round maybe late first round,

296
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: just because of the attractiveness of a fifth round or

297
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: excuse me, a fifth year option for these rookie draft picks.

298
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: So again, there's always trades. It's just hard to predict

299
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: what a team is going to do. And I think

300
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna see trades in a second and third round

301
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: because some of these guys that maybe you know after

302
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: a period of time. And again I'm not knocking the mocks.

303
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's great conversation, especially or not because we're

304
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: about to do one. No, no, I'm just saying like

305
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: it's great. And I did a mock draft when I

306
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: was doing radio because you want to get the listeners

307
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: involved in you know, one of the things we've done

308
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years as we go out

309
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: with our top fifty players, just because we focus so

310
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: much on the thirty two players. But you know, after

311
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: a period of time, forty guys have been mocked in

312
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: the first round, and that's where the appointment because they

313
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: see their name, their agent says, hey, this a team

314
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: or X team tells me, if you're on the board

315
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: at twenty eight, we're gonna take you. Well, it doesn't

316
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: always work that way. So at the end of the day,

317
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: you almost have forty to forty two guys mocked and

318
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: they all think they're going in the first round. So

319
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: I do think you know, if teams have multiple picks,

320
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: whether you know Chiefs have twelve picks, they can maneuver

321
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: in a second, third round and maybe they had a

322
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, a late first round grade or early second.

323
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: So I think we're going to see a lot of

324
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: trades because there's so much meat and potatoes in the cheft.

325
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: It's depending on what you were looking for. All right.

326
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: We did not do or we agreed to not do

327
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: any trades in our mock draft one point. We're gonna

328
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: leave that for tomorrow. Yeah, well we'll we'll just kind of,

329
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, do it as normal. Pick by pick here

330
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: on Cardinals covered two, presented by Hunday Probab, partner of

331
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. We did have in an undisclosed area

332
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: of the facility here, we did have official coin toss.

333
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki one went with tales. For whatever reason, it

334
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: always comes up tails. So Mike DRECKI will have the

335
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: first pick and then we'll go every other pick and

336
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: we can have to discussion and some debate. But this

337
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: is just kind of after going through your top fifty,

338
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: just kind of get an idea of where we think

339
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: some of these prospects will fall based off the team,

340
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: based off some need. And again the chatter out there,

341
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: although I'll say it again, read, watch, listen to everything,

342
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: believe nothing when it comes to the draft. Well else spokes.

343
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: That's a veteran right there. The mock Draft one point

344
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals Covered two, presented by Hunday, probably partner of the

345
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, Mike Drecki and the Jacksonville Jaguars are on

346
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: the clock, and perhaps some news earlier on Wednesday influences

347
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: with the Jaguars do based off the report that Cam

348
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: Robinson franchise tag but now has agreed to a long

349
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: term deal the Jaguars starting left tackle. You know all along.

350
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: I think it was Trent Belky last week, and you

351
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: know people in the media again, I think it was

352
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: Mickey Loomis came out today and said, I'm not going

353
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: to tell you anything, so don't I don't want to ask,

354
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: and then when he asked about the quarterback, he started smiling.

355
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: So Belky said, it's down to four players. If I

356
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: had a rank that three players, I would go Aiden Hutchinson, Walker,

357
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: and then alignment Ikeyanu because they if you want to

358
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: protect your franchise quarterback. Now they went out in free

359
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: agency Brandon Shurf, but Aquano he's one of the best

360
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: players along with Evan Neil, and Evan Neil was in

361
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: that conversation. M So, but I just think if you're

362
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: gonna try to if they didn't resign Cam Robinson and

363
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: bringing Band, Brandon Shure, and Jacksonville is gonna have a

364
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: ton of high picks in every round. I think he

365
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: got to load up on defense. I think you got

366
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: to give the defense, you know where they can win

367
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: a game for you get pressure on the quarterback late

368
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: in the game to give Trevor Lawrence. So with the

369
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: first pick in the twenty twenty two NFL Draft, I'm

370
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: gonna take Aiden Hutchison out of Michigan. And that was

371
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: the number one prospects on your big board. So you're

372
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: going with with some analysts are saying the safe pick,

373
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's safe or not, but

374
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: you know what, the production you're gonna get out of

375
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson, I mean, great career, great energy guy, not

376
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: that any of those other guys you've got to worry

377
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: about off the field. But he did everything was supposed

378
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: to do. Obviously he had some talent that on the defense,

379
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: but I mean he could be the pillar of that

380
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: defense for a long time. And again, you know, obviously

381
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: you want to protect Trevor Lawrence, but at the same time,

382
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: you got to stop people to give him the ball back.

383
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: All right, So Aidan Hutchinson is off the board. The

384
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: Michigan man does not fall to the Lions at number two,

385
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: would be a natural fit. If the jaguar Ours do

386
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: go offensive line that obviously, I think the Lions would

387
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: run to the podium and select Aiden Hutchinson. So, but

388
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: he is off the board here and our mock draft

389
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: one point. Oh, so I am gonna go offensive line,

390
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go to the Alabama offensive tackle Evan

391
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: nel like his size three years daughter, can play left guard,

392
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: right tackle, left tackle. So there's some versatility because you

393
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: got to figure out where he's gonna fit along that

394
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: offensive line. So for me, the Lions, with Hutchinson off

395
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: the board, will go with they think is the best lineman,

396
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: and that is Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal. Yeah. I

397
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: mean we'll see if they take a quarterback in the

398
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: second round. Yeah, I think two it would be with

399
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: the second pick would be too high to go with

400
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and possibly that could be Matt Correll. If

401
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: willis in pick AD come off the board, then that

402
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: could be their option there unless they like Ritter. From

403
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: a standpoint, so Trayvon Walker is still on the board.

404
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: He is Houston Texans are on the clock. Mike direct

405
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: you with a pick at number three. Yes, dray Von Walker,

406
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: who the odds on favorite. Believe well the experts if

407
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: you will think that he will be the name called

408
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: with the first overall pick on Thursday. Now they're gonna

409
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: go with Davis Mills, and he did pass the eye test. Um.

410
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: Obviously you can benefit from a guy on a rookie

411
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: contract not be making a lot of ton of money.

412
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: But Lovey Smith. He is the head coach. His defense

413
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: is a car. They play that cover two and you

414
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: need corners. Now they also need help on the line.

415
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: I would take a look at the NC State lineman

416
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: Ikey A. Coup. I would take a look at him,

417
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: but I think I'm gonna go I'm gonna go corner here,

418
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: and I everyone's talking about Sauce Gardner. He probably would

419
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: beat the first corner off the board. But I'm gonna

420
00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: take Derek Stingley cornerback and he'll he'll have some you know, upside.

421
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go at Stingley here. And to me,

422
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: if Levey wants to play that cover two, you have

423
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: to have corners that can cover. Obviously didn't have the production.

424
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people think but you're

425
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: you're projecting him to do with a something at the

426
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: next level. Well, considering that you've got three different positions

427
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: on the first three picks, and now all of a sudden,

428
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: people are panicking, what's wrong with Trayvon Walker? Here in

429
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: this Cardinals cover two presented by Hunday Partner of the

430
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals mocked draft. So the Jets with the first

431
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 1: of their two picks in the top ten, and all

432
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, head coach Robert salis looking at that

433
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: and say, you know what I want, Trayvon Walker, and

434
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take him with the Jets at number four.

435
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: Probably not going to happen this way, MJ. But this

436
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: is just kind of a fun exercise. It's it's it's possible.

437
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if Walker doesn't go number one, and those

438
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: other teams are looking at, you know, offensive linemen, it's

439
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: possible the Jets got four and ten. I don't think

440
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: the Jets will take a receiver at four, but I

441
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: think they would take a receiver attend and going back

442
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: to Houston. I don't know what their board looks like.

443
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if Sauce Gardner was the pick

444
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with Stingley there, all right, So

445
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson, Evan Neil, Derek Stingley, and Trayvon Walker off

446
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: the board as we reached the Giants at pick number five.

447
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: Giants at number five, So who are your picks us

448
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: thus far? Hutchinson, Neil, Stingley, and Walker. Okay, I was

449
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: going to go offensive line there, so I'm going to

450
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: continue with that. They did draft Andrew Thomas a couple

451
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: of years ago, and I think this guy doesn't get

452
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: enough credit. I'm gonna take Charles Cross, offensive tackle from

453
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. Wow, and my eyebrows are raised, as we

454
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: have some stunned fans in attendance here at the facility

455
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: paying attention to this mock draft. One point oh, Giants

456
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: at the fifth pick, take an offensive tackle Charles Cross,

457
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: who was ranked number eleven MJ on your big board. Well,

458
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: according to the Giants, they had Evan Neil as their

459
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: top player, but he's no longer on the board because

460
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: he got picked a little bit earlier. So you go

461
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: with the next player that you feel has similar skill set.

462
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: All right, So the Carolina Panthers on the clock, and

463
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: of course this is where everyone believe that a wide

464
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: excume a quarterback might hear their name called. But I'm

465
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: not gonna go and I am of the belief that

466
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: the Panthers are strongly looking at quarterback. That's just the

467
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: personal opinion of mine. But considering how things have shaken

468
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: out so far, as you look at the Panthers at

469
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: number six, if Sam Darnold is the future or at

470
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: least the short term future, and depending on what happens

471
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 1: down the road, I'm gonna go with a gonna go

472
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: at the six spot for the Carolina Panthers. So a

473
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: third offensive tackle going in the first six picks here

474
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: in our mock draft, yeah, I mean would be a

475
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: surprise as they took Willis there. I totally agree with you.

476
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: If you want to eat, whether it's Sam Donald and

477
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: hopefully Christian mccaffick can stay healthy, you got to improve

478
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: that offensive line. So that's a really good pick. And

479
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: the only thing they would change is Millie Quillis, I

480
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: would believe. All right, So we are at pick number

481
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: seven and the Giants are on the board again. This

482
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: was a pick acquired via the Bears in the draft

483
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: day trade in which the Bears landed justin field. So

484
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: the Giants, who at pick number five when offensive tackle,

485
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: what do they do here with their seventh pick. We're

486
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: gonna run to the podium. We're running there and we're

487
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: gonna take Sauce Gardner because the Texas decided to go

488
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: a different direction. Now they could flip on draft day,

489
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: but we're running to the podium. Cavan Thibodeaux was another guy,

490
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson. I was considering there, but maybe I can

491
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: get those guys are probably not going to be available

492
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: when I pick next. All right, so two cornerbacks now

493
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: off the board. As the Atlanta Falcons find themselves on

494
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: the lock another team at quarterback. I mean, would it

495
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: be a surprise. Would people be stunned if, all of

496
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, a pick number eight the Atlanta Falcons draft

497
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Yeah, you've got Marcus Mariota. It's a two

498
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: year contract, but really it's a one year deal and

499
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: you need to figure out what you're doing long term.

500
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: Now that Matt Ryan is out of the folds, the

501
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons at number eight, well, they're not gonna go quarterback.

502
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: There's there's just no way. But at number eights and

503
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of a free fall, but I

504
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: just like the upside. And I think there's a lot

505
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: being said about this gentleman that I don't know if

506
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: it's fair or not, but I'm gonna go with Cavon Thibodeau,

507
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: the defensive end ida Oregon at pick number eight. So

508
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: your top three defensive ends off the board, your top

509
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: three offensive tackles off the board. But Cavon Thibodau, who

510
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: once upon a time had the perhaps mocked as the

511
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: number one pick maybe during the course of the college season,

512
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: but now gets his name called at number eight. That's

513
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: a great pick. And again because they got another pick

514
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: and early in the second round maybe to take a

515
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: quarterback there. Um. You know, Arthur Smith is a guy

516
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: that definitely needs a quarterback like he had um in

517
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee with Ryan Tannehill and Marcus Mariota. But I think

518
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: Mariota is more of a you know, wait and see

519
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: and again next year's draft. So I like that pick,

520
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: and you know, not surprised because we already had a

521
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: couple of corners come off the board. We had a

522
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: couple of linemen. But he's he's worthy of being a

523
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: top ten pick. Thibadeau all right, So at number nine,

524
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks a pick they had picked U they

525
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: acquired and the Russell Wilson deal. The Seahawks are on

526
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: the clock. Got a NOLLA needs at offensive line? Do

527
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: they think that they need a quarterback or looking to

528
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: upgrade and fill some holes on the defensive side. Well,

529
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought, you know, when

530
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: they made that trade, they're gonna they're gonna figure it out.

531
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: But you know, I guess they're gonna roll with Drew

532
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: Locke and Gino Smith, and they could still bring in

533
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: another veteran guy. You know, if one of these corners

534
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: were on the board, I think they want to get

535
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: back to the legion of boom. And unfortunately both of

536
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: these corners are off the port, Stanley and Gardner, So

537
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: I would think offensive line Trevor Penny would be an

538
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: option there. But also they need a pass rusher in

539
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: this division. Craig, So I'm gonna go with the Seahawks

540
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: Jermaine Johnson defensive end Florida State. But I would not

541
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: be surprised if they drafted a left tackle to obviously

542
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: protect their young quarterback and obviously get that running game going.

543
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: All right, so the Seahawks are going defense. That brings

544
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: the Jets at number ten their second pick here in

545
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: the top ten, and earlier Trayvon Walker was the selection.

546
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: But the Jets looking at what is still on the board,

547
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: and you basically have your pick. As far as wide receivers,

548
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: we have yet to have a skilled position player or

549
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback here their name called. And I think at

550
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: this point it's just you don't want to wait too long.

551
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: You addressed defense with your first pick, and at the

552
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: Jets at number ten have their choice at wide receiver.

553
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gamble a little bit. I love Jamison Williams.

554
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: He might not be available the first couple of weeks

555
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: of the regular season, but for me, I do believe

556
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: he's a top ten talent. So Jamison Williams, Alabama wide

557
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: receiver is going to be my pick at number ten. Yeah,

558
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about getting what weapons for that

559
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: young quarterback. I mean, obviously, you know, the Jets have

560
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: a lot of cap space and they're in a difficult

561
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: division though. You know, you look at the Buffalo Bills

562
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: are knocking on the door for the Super Bowl. The

563
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to be studying Eddie and Miami has

564
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: made a lot of moves here, so the Jets have

565
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: to add weapons and give Zach Wilson. I like to

566
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: pick the only other guy when I went there possibly

567
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: was Garrett Wilson from Ohio State, because he can play

568
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: right away. Again, you're not drafting these guys for the

569
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: for one year. It's the future. But you can't go wrong.

570
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: If he's available in October or November, he's the best

571
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the draft. If he didn't have the

572
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: ac llen g all right, Well, if you liked Garrett

573
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: Wilson so much, he's available. Washington commanders are on the clock.

574
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: It's your pick at number eleven. Well, they let go

575
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: of Landon Collins, and I think Kyle Hamilton could be

576
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: an option here, but they need to give some weapons

577
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: to Sam Carson Wentz and they want a big, physical receiver.

578
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Drake London, wide receiver from USC.

579
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: You gotta get Someding. He's dynamic, they get the running

580
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: game going. He's a mismatch to comp some Mike Evans,

581
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: so that would be a guy that could take the

582
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: top off of the defense. You got Terry Terry McLaren

583
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: so all of a sudden, you got some weapons on offense.

584
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: And again, if he's gone, I would think Hamilton, because

585
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: you got to have somebody that can run that defense.

586
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: But I think they go big and they go Drake London.

587
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: Wide receivers go back to back. Do we go three straight?

588
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: Is this where the run of wide receivers comes? Because

589
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: if you're the Minnesota Vikings at number twelve and you've

590
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: kind of hitched your wagon, if you will, to Kirk Cousins,

591
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: who's heat throwing the football. The Vikings obviously also need

592
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: help in the secondary, but the top corners are off

593
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: the board. So if I'm looking at what is available

594
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: to me, I might roll the dice on a wide receiver.

595
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: And in fact I am because I am general manager

596
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Vikings. Here in this mock draft one

597
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: point zero on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday, probably

598
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and it is going to

599
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: be the Ohio state wide receiver. Garrett Wilson is the

600
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: pick at number twelve. So three straight wide receivers selected

601
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: in our mock draft. Yeah, you know, they bring in

602
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: a new head coach who want to get in weapons.

603
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: But I think that defense is going to long along

604
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: in a tooth. They would consider possibly Hamilton Trent McDuffie.

605
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: But the thing is, you also want to make sure

606
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. I mean, they got Justin Jefferson there. Clearly

607
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: they got the running game going, so it makes sense

608
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: the go offense, but I may see them going defense

609
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done. All right, the Houston

610
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: Texans are on the clock once again. Their second selection

611
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: here in this first round, at pick number three, they

612
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: went corner with Derek Stingley Texans. Now this is a

613
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: choice they picked up via the Browns and the Deshaun

614
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: Watson trade. So Mike Jarecki, year the general manager of

615
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, what's your choice. So we got the

616
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: corner with the third overall pick, and as you mentioned,

617
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: this trade comes from the Deshaun Watson trade. You gotta

618
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: get some weapons for would say Davis Mills, and I'm

619
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: gonna go with Chris Alave, Ohio state wide receiver. So

620
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: four wide receivers n O selected in our mock draft.

621
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: And this is where if you're the Cardinals, you're watching

622
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: this going all right, well, maybe we're not at another

623
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: position because if you're depending on again how you've got

624
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: these wide receivers ranked. But you look at what the

625
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: Texans are looking to do, it makes sense to get

626
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: a playmaker to help out. And you probable you're not

627
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: gonna go back to back defensive picks in the first round.

628
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: So the pick is in, it's Chris Olave. So that

629
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: brings the Baltimore Ravens in at fourteen. And if you're

630
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: the Ravens right here, I think you're sitting pretty as

631
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 1: far as what you want to do, probably likely knowing

632
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: the mindset of the Ravens in their history of that franchise,

633
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: you go defense, and I like Jordan Davis six foot

634
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: six threety one pounds the Georgia defensive tackle. Jordan Davis

635
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: going to the Baltimore Ravens at number fourteen, that's a

636
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:36,479
Speaker 1: good pick um, you know, considering Marshal Yanda retired, while

637
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: Ronnie Staley hasn't been able to stay healthy. It wouldn't

638
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: surprise me if Trevor Penny was an option there. But

639
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: clearly they're gonna bank on their defense. And but you know,

640
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with the Jordan Davis. He had

641
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: a really good combine and I'm up next to Philadelphi Eagles,

642
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: and I'm not very happy that Jordan Davison along around

643
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: the board. This is the first of two picks for

644
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles. They're also selecting it number eighteen. So and

645
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: if you're that unhappy, MJ And we said we weren't

646
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: going to do trades, but you know, if that was

647
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: your guy, not all of a sudden, you gotta pick

648
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: up the phone and try to figure out. Yeah, Now

649
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles will lose Brandon Graham in coming years, so

650
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: they need a replacement. Do you take the Purdue defensive

651
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: endcar Offlis, Sir? I think they need a cornerback in

652
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: that division. You got to be able to cover it.

653
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go cornerback Trent mcduffey to the Philadelphia

654
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: Eagles at number fifteen. All right, he was number eighteen

655
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: on your big board. But another cornerback off the board

656
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: here as far as Trent mcduffey going to the Eagles.

657
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: So you look at the cornerbacks Stingley, Sauce Gardner and

658
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: Trent mcduffey off the board here and our mock draft

659
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: one point oh. The Eagles will come up again momentarily,

660
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: but that brings us to the midway point the draft.

661
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: The New Orleans Saints the first of their two picks,

662
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: and this is a pick that maybe the first quarter

663
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: back gets their name called. Who knows. There's a lot

664
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: of conversations with New Orleans as far as how they

665
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: figure out what to do with a defensive minded head

666
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: coach now stepping in for Sean Payton. The New Orleans Saints.

667
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: You look at the talent that is still available, this

668
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: is this might be an interesting one. I'm not I'm

669
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: not quite ready to hear a quarterbacks name called. I

670
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: do think it's still a little bit too high. But

671
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: I am going to go defense and put Kyle Hamilton

672
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: and in New Orleans Saints uniform at pick number sixteen.

673
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: I like it. Now. Hamilton is a guy that probably

674
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: could have gone a little bit higher, but based on

675
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: the nature of the position, you just didn't ever know

676
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to that kind of stuff. And with Hamilton,

677
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: I mean, there are many people believe that he is

678
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: as far as overall talent, perhaps maybe the best prospect

679
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: in this draft, regardless of position. And you land him

680
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 1: with the sixteenth overall pick. Yeah, and you know, he's

681
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: a guy that you know, you can never have enough

682
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: guys that you know, have the IQ to line up

683
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: everybody up on the football field. And he really comes

684
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: across like that. So I wouldn't be surprised when it

685
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: comes to that. Now we have not heard a quarterbacks

686
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: name called. Now, it's not gonna happen here at pick

687
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: number seventeen MJ. Because the Los Angeles Chargers are on

688
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: the clock. Yeah, and even though they resigned Mike Williams,

689
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: and they also, you know, want to get more weapons

690
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: for obviously justin Herbert, you're gonna see a run on

691
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: of receivers. M I gotta think they want to get

692
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: a receiver that's physical in the run game. And this

693
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: is probably not gonna make Cardinal fans very happy. But

694
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take trey Lin Burks from Arkansas, one of

695
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: those names that has been mocked to the Cardinals a lot.

696
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: Considering one, it's a size six two to twenty five,

697
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: maybe a Deebo Samuel kind of a type wide receiver

698
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: in which you can put them a number of different

699
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: spots despite his size. But another wide receiver is off

700
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: the board, and this, again to your point, is not

701
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: good news for the Arizona Cardinals if they were hoping

702
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: to land a wide receiver. So Treylon Brooks go to

703
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: the Chargers at seventeen, and the Eagles once again on

704
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: the clock at pick number fifteen, they went defense, Trent

705
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: McDuffie the cornerback, and the Eagles not happy that they

706
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: are not a wide receiver available to them, because if

707
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: you're going to see what Jalen Hurts can do, is

708
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: this a make or break year for Jalen Hurts? What

709
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: do you do? Or maybe on the flip side, what

710
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: do you do to help him? Protect him? And the

711
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: best offensive linement according to your top fifty big board

712
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: still available is the inside basically can play guard both

713
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: guard positions, does have experience at left tackle and has

714
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: asked to play some center at the Senior Bowl. But

715
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: Zion Johnson is going to be the pick of the

716
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles at number eighteen. Wow, Cardinal fans are going

717
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: to be about that. We're not making any friends. I

718
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: know you're on this mock draft. One point r Okay.

719
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: So the Saints um their second pick in this draft, right,

720
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: went Kyle Hamilton with their first selection. Now you got

721
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Davante White out there, I mean why I can go

722
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: in there, and you know the Saints are gonna are

723
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: they willing to ignore his off the field issues. Not

724
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: to get into that, but I think you got to

725
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: protect for the future, whether it's a quarterback Jameis Winston.

726
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take Tulsa offensive tackle Tyler Smith. I

727
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: didn't have him ranked as high as on my fifty board,

728
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: but to me, Um, he had to protect a quarterback.

729
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: He's gonna be at to open up that run game,

730
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: um with with your running back in Alvin Kamara. So

731
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go offensive tackle Tyler Smith from Tulsa. I

732
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: think I had him ranking maybe at fifty. He was

733
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: number forty or big board, but a two year starter

734
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: at left tackle. Many believe he could be moved inside

735
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: to guard. But six five, three, twenty four Smith is

736
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: off the board. Now we reach number twenty here, and

737
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: this is where many people believe that regardless who may

738
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 1: have had their name called earlier in the draft, many believe,

739
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: based off what's going on in Pittsburgh, that the Steelers

740
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: will look at the quarterback position. Welik Willis is still

741
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: available here in our mock draft, but they've got someone

742
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: in their backyard that they are very, very familiar with,

743
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: and that is Kenny Pickett out of Pittsburgh. And I

744
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: do think, and maybe this is just too easy to assume,

745
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: but I do think, based off of information and knowledge,

746
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: they know Kenny Pickett better than any of the quarterbacks

747
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: out there. Despite the questions on hand size, Pittsburgh Steelers

748
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: at number twenty will take the first quarterback off the

749
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: board here and our mock draft, Kenny Pickett is the choice. Well,

750
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: they share the same facility, so they are aware of

751
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: him over the last four years. Makes sense. It wouldn't

752
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: surprise me if Willis was still on the board, if

753
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: he was the pick all right, number twenty one one.

754
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: Of course, Bill Belichick he knows how to find these

755
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: diamonds in the rough, whether as Dexton Hill, who can

756
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: play corners safety, another versatile prospect would be intrigue into

757
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. But I'm gonna go ahead and take linebacker

758
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: from Utah Devin Lloyd obviously Dehn Dante high Towers a

759
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: free agent Ken Kyle van Nooyd was released, and Belichick

760
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: loves young linebackers. He can play in a three to

761
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: four or four three. Again, if I was sitting at

762
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty one. I think there would be three defensive players. Obviously,

763
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's off the board, Dexter Dexton Hill's more of

764
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: a late first round pick, but I'm gonna go with

765
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd. He's a very productive linebacker at Utah, all right.

766
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: So the first inside linebacker off the board going to

767
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots at pick number twenty one at

768
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: twenty two, one pick ahead of the Cardinals. The Green

769
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 1: Bay Packers acquiring this pick in the Davante Adams trade

770
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. Packers also have a selection at number

771
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight, but at twenty two. Obviously people are gonna

772
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: assume wide receiver. But there's been a run of wide

773
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: receivers on the board. And since we've kind of made

774
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: a theme here on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday

775
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: Prop partner of the Arizona Cardinals on upsetting the Bird

776
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: Gang as far as the number of players taken off

777
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: this board on our mock that have been mocked to

778
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: the Cardinals over the last several weeks and months. There's

779
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: an edge rusher, George Carloftis that is still on the board.

780
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: He was number twenty overall on your big board, MJ

781
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: and the Packers are going to surprise people because I

782
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: think everyone's assuming its wide receiver. They're gonna go edge rusher.

783
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: George Carloftis is off the board here at pick number

784
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: twenty two. Now, I couldn't agree more with you. And

785
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: they got multiple picks and a lot of people think

786
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna go wide receiver. But they also lost as

787
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: Areas Smith in the offseason to get a pass rusher,

788
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: and he'll fit perfect in that system. All right, we

789
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: got issues here. So at pick number twenty three, the

790
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are on the clock. Here in this Cardinals

791
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: covered two mock draft, Mike Drecki has the choice of

792
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. There's been a run of offensive lineman, there

793
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: has been a run of wide receivers. There's been a

794
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: run of edge rushers. What's the choice here at number

795
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: twenty three? General manager Steve Kim with Mike Drecki stepped

796
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: in it. Well, I'm calling the Green Bay Packers first

797
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: of all, and I'm gonna see if they want to

798
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: come up. I'm calling the Kansas City Chiefs because the

799
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: Packers have twenty eight, the Chiefs have twenty nine and

800
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: thirty and I'm gonna try to make a trade right here.

801
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: But if I have to make the pick Cardinals, I

802
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: believe we'll go offense, and I'm gonna take Penn state

803
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver Johan Dotson. So Dotson five eleven, one seventy

804
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: eight the pick and our mock draft here on Cardinals

805
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: cover two. He is a selection at number twenty three.

806
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: All right, General manager Steve kim I e Mike DRECKI

807
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:57,240
Speaker 1: explain the Dotson selection, Well, they come in different shapes

808
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: and sizes. Dotson can play on the outside. He also

809
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: returns punts, and he's got some special teams. So maybe

810
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: you could take a little bit of load off of

811
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: Rondel Moore's. He's actually a couple pounds lighter than Rondel

812
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: board but he's a little bit taller. He's not your

813
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: big physical AJ Green, you know, Trey von Burks, but

814
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: he can play on the outside and he's one of

815
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: those guys you can move around, and I think it'd

816
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: be perfect and clings. Cliff Kingsbury's offense Third Team AP

817
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: All Americans, second Team All Big Ten team, leading ninety

818
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 1: one receptions for eleven hundred and eighty two receiving yards

819
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: with twelve touchdowns, which tied for eighth most in the

820
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: country yet the size five eleven one seventy eight. But

821
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: if you look at his film at Penn State, a

822
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: lot of his routes came on the outside. Now where

823
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: Burkes seventy seven percent of his routes came from the slot.

824
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: And all that matters is can you beat that guy

825
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: that is across from you, Craig, You and I and

826
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 1: I've kind of come around like we're looking for that big,

827
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: tall receiver on the outside, the Adrea type, and Burkes

828
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: fits that profile. But you know, I don't know what

829
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: kind of ice cream you like, Well, I don't know

830
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: if you like vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. I just like

831
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: ice cream. And if I'm not worried about the size,

832
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: because if he gets able to get open, and we

833
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: know some of these smaller receivers can get open where

834
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: these dbs an hour six feet and sometimes the half

835
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: hard time cover them based on how the route running

836
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: isn't stopping on a time. So I think he'll fit

837
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: perfectly in this Cliff Kingsbury offense, all right. So that

838
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: is where we mock the Cardinals selection Johan Dots and

839
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver out of Penn States. We'll kind of figure

840
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: out if that is what exactly happens in twenty four

841
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: hours from now, and of course we'll make fun of

842
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: ourselves on the next time we have a chance to

843
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: converse here on Cardinals cover two presented by Hunday Probab

844
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: partner of the Arizona Cardinals. All right, let's continue, Let's

845
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: finish out the first marry Jerry Dallas Cowboys on the clock.

846
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: And they can go a number of different ways, but

847
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,959
Speaker 1: looking at what is still available and the best prospects,

848
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go outside linebacker boy A Mafe out of Minnesota,

849
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: another edge rusher off the board, played well at the

850
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,439
Speaker 1: Senior Ball and Mafe is a selection to the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah.

851
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: The only other thing I would look is is Dallas

852
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: has done a really good job drafting offensive lineman. You

853
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: look at Tyrann Smith, Zach Martin, and the only other

854
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: thing I would look there is possibly Kenyan Green from

855
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: Texas C and M. But clearly you know Dallas is

856
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: you know, you never know what Jerry Jones is going

857
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: to do, But clearly you know Mike McCarthy's got to

858
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: win and hopefully that you know, they can, you know,

859
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: stay healthy because they're gonna be competing in the NFC East.

860
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: All right, number twenty five the Buffalo Bills. Is it

861
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: more weapons for Josh Allen or do you look for

862
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: some defensive help? Well, baby, is White's coming off in

863
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: ACL So we're gonna take Andrew Booth, junior from Clemson.

864
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: He gives us a little bit of size. We did

865
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: have interest in Trent McDuffie. Obviously, Dexton Hills, a guy

866
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: we had ranked a little bit lower. We like Andrew

867
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: Booth coming off an injury, so we're gonna snatch him up.

868
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: All right. He was number thirty two on your big board,

869
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: which brings us to the Tennessee Titans again. They could

870
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: go perhaps wide receiver. I know there's been some talk

871
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: about the future of Ryan Tannehill. Who could the Titans

872
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: surprise people and take a quarterback. I don't think that's

873
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: the case, but you look at what is still available,

874
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: and the other defensive tackle out of Georgia is still

875
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: on the board here, So Davante Wyatt is the pick

876
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: of the Tennessee Titans here at pick number twenty six.

877
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna go defense, which might be a little bit

878
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: of a surprise. Yeah, they the Titans lost a couple

879
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: of linemen in free agency. I think they will Labber Saffold,

880
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: so it wouldn't surprise me if they went Kenyan Greene

881
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: here to get that running game going. With Derek Henry,

882
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with the guy that can rush

883
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: the passer. Obviously Vabel's background as defense get into the

884
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: quarterback stop in the run, especially in that division. So

885
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: the only option I would have thought would be guard,

886
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: so you can make sure that running game continues. All right,

887
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: Well that position is available for you, MJ. The Tampa

888
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers are now on the clock at pick number

889
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Well, you know, Todd Bowles likes those uh

890
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: you know, the daln b Canons and Tyrn Matthews. So

891
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: Dexter Hill is going to be a member of the

892
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Okay, out of Michigan six feet one

893
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: and that is the selection. The safety out of Michigan

894
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: gets the call of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All right.

895
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: That brings the Green Bay Packers on the clock again.

896
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: They were at the selection at pick number twenty two earlier.

897
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: And they went defense, they went edge rusher. So you

898
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: would think here in the first round, perhaps wide receiver

899
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: is the expected choice, and you look at what might

900
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 1: still be available out there, not a lot of depth

901
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: as far as high end receivers still available. So much

902
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: the chagrin of one Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are again

903
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: gonna go, well, I'm trying to look here as they

904
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: surveyed the two minutes on the clock. I appreciate that,

905
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: you know what I am. I am going to help

906
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: out one Aaron Rodgers. This just might not be a

907
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: skilled position player, but I'm gonna go with some offensive

908
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: line help. Northern Iowa offensive tackle Trevor Penning is going

909
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: to be the selection of the Green Bay Packers at

910
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: pick number twenty eight, and honestly, I'm surprised he's still available.

911
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: And now again this is just a you know, we're

912
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: just spitballing here, but I'm surprised. I think you never

913
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: know it. But he's part of that top four or

914
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: five offensive tackles, and we know that David Bactieri is

915
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: their fixture there. But you can never have enough protection

916
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. All right, Kansas City has multiple picks

917
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: twenty nine and thirty. We lost Tyreek Hill. So I'm

918
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: gonna draft Christian Watson, wide receiver North Dakota State. Okay,

919
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: I've heard his name linked to the Cardinals a couple

920
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: of times, but someone that not a lot of people

921
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,439
Speaker 1: know based on the fact that he did not play

922
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: at a Power five school. But Christian Watson is the

923
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: selection of the Chiefs at number twenty nine. They are

924
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: still on the clock at pick number thirty, and considering

925
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: that Tyron Matthew is no longer in the fold with

926
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs at least not as if yet.

927
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: Is there a reunion at some point? Who knows, But

928
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: you're probably looking for some secondary help, some safety help,

929
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: if you will. Maybe an inside linebacker. Quay Walker out

930
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: of Georgia is still on the board here an ar

931
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: mock draft, but I think the pick here if I

932
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: am going to kind of survey, the Kobe Dean is

933
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: still available as well. So interesting you have that safety

934
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: Georgia linebacker Lewis Scene yep, so you know, you know what,

935
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: that's a good call. I appreciate the help of my

936
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: assistant general manager. We're gonna go with a Georgia player,

937
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: but it is going to be seen. Lewis is going

938
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: to be the selection here at number thirty. You've got

939
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: your safety of the future if you will. Yeah, and

940
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: clearly they have to make sure that that secondary is covering,

941
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: especially in that division now. And this guy's a really

942
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: good player. Of course he played at Georgia. Two more

943
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: picks to go. Cincinnati Bengals are on the clock. Now.

944
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: You would think that you know, they're gonna get more

945
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: linemen to protect um, you know, Joe Burrow, you know

946
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: you look at I think they're gonna go defense here.

947
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: And as our guy from Purdue off the board. Yet,

948
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: Karloftis is off the board. He went number twenty two

949
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 1: to the Green Bay Packers. Okay, I'm gonna take cornerback

950
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: car Elam okay out of Florida, out of Wilson's former teammates.

951
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 1: So Elam is off the board. The pick the Cincinnati Bengals,

952
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: who are there. I wouldn't say they have a lot

953
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: of holes to fill, but certainly a young, talented team

954
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: that is up and coming. DeVante White is still available.

955
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: He is devant No wait, DeVante why went to the

956
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: Tennessee title because that would be okay? Thank you, because

957
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: that would have been my other option. But I you know,

958
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: playing in that division, you got to cover, so I think,

959
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, obviously offensive line, but you know the fact

960
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: is that, you know, sometimes teams take offensive lineman in

961
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 1: a second and third round. But here, I'm gonna go corner,

962
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: all right. So the last pick of the first round

963
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: here in our mock draft are one and only mock draft.

964
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions are back on the clock. They had

965
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: the second overall pick. They went offensive tackle Evan Neil.

966
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 1: Now with their selection via the Rams and the Matthew

967
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: Stafford trade, the Detroit Lions are going to go quarterback

968
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: here in our mock draft, and it is going to

969
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: be Malik Willis. He does hear his name called in

970
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: the first round, only the second quarterback off the board

971
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: in round one. Malik Willis is going to the Detroit

972
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: Lions here to wrap up mock draft one point here

973
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: on Cardinals covered two well, and it's going to be interesting, Craig,

974
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: because I think you're right on here. Now. If Willis

975
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: goes to the Steelers at twenty and pick, it would

976
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 1: definitely go to the Lions at thirty two unless somebody

977
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: moves up. Unless Carolina gets you know, they get desperate.

978
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: I think you could still get a ridder in the

979
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: second round, but I think Pittsburgh in Detroit twenty and

980
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: thirty two, we could see a flip there. But I

981
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: definitely think both of those guys will be first round picks.

982
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: And Matt Correll is still on the board as well

983
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: the Mississippi quarterbacks, so he'll go early in the second round.

984
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 1: The teams that are looking for the future, so an

985
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: interesting exercise if you will here on Cardinals Covered two

986
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: presented by Unday probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. Again,

987
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: the real draft happens Thursday, April twenty eighth, Burd Gang.

988
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: If you want to be hanging out with your fellow

989
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: Cardinal fans, head to the draft party presented by Arizona

990
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: four Dealers on the Great Lawn outside State Farm Stadium

991
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: from four until nine o'clock on Thursday. Admission is for

992
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: parking is phrase comming a great time. And then on

993
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: Saturday at the Draft Weekend Country concert featuring Ryan Hurd,

994
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 1: Lanko and Callista Clark on the Great Lawn at State

995
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: Farm Stadium. Go to Sportsmen's Park az dot com for

996
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: more information. Now this always happens. And when you start

997
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: looking at the thirty two picks, did we miss on anybody?

998
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: Because sometimes the listeners and the fans they don't know

999
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: that certain players were flagged for medical or character. Is

1000
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: there anybody that missed that we thought could be a

1001
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: first round pick? Well, Kaway Walker out of Georgia. Perhaps

1002
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum, the Iowa center, although he's kind of just

1003
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: a one trick pony, if you will, as far as

1004
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: playing just the center position. And I thought he would

1005
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: be a you know, because he is, he only can

1006
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: play the center. And to me, if you're the Eagles,

1007
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: and depending what you do with your two picks, Jason

1008
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: Kelsey is not getting any younger. I just don't know.

1009
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: But I thought Linderbaum would be a first round pick.

1010
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: But it's not like he plays multiple positions. He is

1011
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: strictly a center. Now, I'm not saying he can't play

1012
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: guard in a pinch, it's because of his size and

1013
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 1: his short arms and short arms doesn't mean you can

1014
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: have short arms and you're playing in an interior line.

1015
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 1: So you know, I look at Pittsburgh, um, if they

1016
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: don't take a quarterback, they could take a lineman. For

1017
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: the future. Um, but if I'm the Eagles and Jason

1018
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: Kelsey is getting a little long in the tooth, that

1019
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: would be considered there. But I did have Lindon Ball

1020
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 1: I thought would be a first round pick. We'll see

1021
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: how we uh did well, uh, well, well, we'll grade

1022
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 1: ourselves well, school grade ourselves, and right now I'll probably

1023
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: looking at a well, if we had a passing grade,

1024
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: see considered passing. Yeah, okay, yeah, he's can get you

1025
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 1: a you know, graduate from high school. Right again. Joan

1026
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: Johan Dotson is the selection of the Arizona Cardinals the

1027
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: Pence Day wide receiver. In case you missed it, but

1028
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 1: that was the mock how we mocked it up here

1029
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: on Cardinals cover two and again, I you know, I

1030
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: guess they'll stick to their board. There's gonna be a

1031
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: little bit of need based on what they didn't do

1032
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: in free agency. I still think Trey Loon, Burkes, Zion Johnson,

1033
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: and Dotson definitely would be in the mix if they're

1034
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: on the board at number twenty three, and I do

1035
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: think that Cardinals would entertain moving down to get an

1036
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: extra pick. The good news is all this speculation is

1037
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: just about over because the twenty twenty two. NFL Draft

1038
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: is Thursday, April twenty eighth. It is finally here, and

1039
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: I for one cannot wait. Who do we get to

1040
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: welcome as the newest Arizona Cardinals players. Remember there are

1041
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: eight picks? How many of those do they keep? How

1042
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: many do they try to trade back? And maybe a

1043
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: choir more picks? But it is gonna be fun, theater,

1044
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: fun exercise. And again all the coverage on easy Cardinals
