Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to another edition of Packers Unscripted Social
Speaker 1: Distancing Style from Packers dot Com. I am Mike Spoffer,
Speaker 1: joined as always by my trusted colleague West Hodkowitz. Were
Speaker 1: coming to you from our remote locations as we have
Speaker 1: been for the last few weeks previewing the NFL Draft,
Speaker 1: and this will be our last episode previewing the draft, West,
Speaker 1: because the NFL Draft is almost here. Man, boy, do
Speaker 1: we needed to get here too? Right? I mean, the
Speaker 1: thing that's funny where you you do this intro where
Speaker 1: you mentioned the social distancing. This is just the way
Speaker 1: it is right now. I mean, it's not the addition.
Speaker 1: It's like, um, you ever did you watch You probably
Speaker 1: were a little too old for Saved by the Bell.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing right, and I'm aware of it. Saved by
Speaker 1: the Bell they did like the summer session where they
Speaker 1: like went off and they were all working at like
Speaker 1: a resort. It isn't the traditionals. That's what this kind
Speaker 1: of feels like right now. It's not our typical season.
Speaker 1: It's like a special, like an after school special that
Speaker 1: we've been doing here now for three weeks. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: starting to feel a little bit more normal. But I
Speaker 1: guess we'll just we'll keep on keeping on, as we
Speaker 1: like to say. Well, with this being our final draft
Speaker 1: preview edition before, we will actually have some Green Bay
Speaker 1: Packers draft picks to talk about. West, I promised you
Speaker 1: at the end of last show I was going to
Speaker 1: throw out some of the hypotheticals, the questions we've been
Speaker 1: getting from fans over the last several weeks, and insider
Speaker 1: inbox we'll share our opinions on some of them. So
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start with this one, pretty straightforward. Packers
Speaker 1: are sitting at number thirty in the first round. Do
Speaker 1: you think they sit and pick? Trade up or trade down?
Speaker 1: What do you think come Thursday night. So I was
Speaker 1: talking with my dog about this the other day and
Speaker 1: I was sort of mentioning, like, okay, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin
Speaker 1: in here. Yeah. No, But I was I was really
Speaker 1: thinking long and hard about this, and the way I
Speaker 1: ended up breaking it down is I think there's a
Speaker 1: fifty chance they move up, a thirty percent chance they
Speaker 1: move back in, a chance they stay and pick at thirty. Now,
Speaker 1: it depends on which way you look at this thing. Right,
Speaker 1: certain strain of thought school thought I'm you know, I'm
Speaker 1: a I'm a historian. I only I know what I
Speaker 1: know based on what has happened in the past, and
Speaker 1: Brian Goodacuntz has moved around a lot in the first
Speaker 1: round these past two years. So that's why I put it.
Speaker 1: I also wonder, well, are they due to pick at
Speaker 1: thirty Well, if that's the case, are they due to
Speaker 1: traff you know, trade out of the first round? So
Speaker 1: all these different scenarios around the table. I've said this
Speaker 1: all along. One of the great things about Brian Goodacuts
Speaker 1: the general manager. You have no idea what he's doing.
Speaker 1: I think, do I think the Packers are going to
Speaker 1: take a quarterback in the first round. No, but he's
Speaker 1: not gonna go out there and say that to everybody.
Speaker 1: He wants everyone to think, all right, he will do
Speaker 1: what he feels is best. And you can if you're
Speaker 1: number thirty one, your number thirty two, you're the first
Speaker 1: pick in the second day, you can be confident that, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: this is what Brian Goodacuntz is gonna do. I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be said for that. Now that
Speaker 1: being said, in these mock drafts I've been doing, I
Speaker 1: haven't been trying to work trades that aren't gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I have been picking at thirty, and in the three
Speaker 1: simulations I've done, all three of them had a nice
Speaker 1: crop of prospects available there. So that makes it conceivable
Speaker 1: the packers could pick at thirty. It also makes it
Speaker 1: conceivable that they could trade back a little bit and
Speaker 1: try to get some more value. The reason though, Mike
Speaker 1: that I said the thing, I do wonder if there's
Speaker 1: a prospect, if there's a Darnell Savage, if there's a
Speaker 1: JayR Alexander that Brian Goodacounts loves, does he pull the
Speaker 1: trigger to go up and get that guy. See that's
Speaker 1: interesting because your percentages, you put the greatest percentage on
Speaker 1: Goodakoons trading up from thirty, and out of the three options,
Speaker 1: I actually think that that's the least likely. Not because
Speaker 1: certainly Goodacounts has proven he will move around the board
Speaker 1: and and I don't I don't discount that at all,
Speaker 1: but just because the draft capital the packers have, it
Speaker 1: just seems to me that would be really really costly
Speaker 1: as far as what they would lose, whether it's a
Speaker 1: second round pick, a third round pick, in order to
Speaker 1: move up from that thirty spot that I put trading
Speaker 1: up as the least likely, I think trading down actually
Speaker 1: is the most likely. Um, well, I don't know. I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not gonna put my percentages on I'll
Speaker 1: leave that too, I'll leave that to you. But no,
Speaker 1: I if I were to, if I were to say
Speaker 1: the most likely thing, I think it's going to be
Speaker 1: a trade down. I think the packers board might look
Speaker 1: pretty strong at number thirty, where if he can find
Speaker 1: a trade partner at thirty four, thirty five, thirty six,
Speaker 1: something like that, and pick up an extra, say an
Speaker 1: extra fourth round pick for an early pick on Saturday,
Speaker 1: and then still be able to get a guy in
Speaker 1: the mid thirties that he really really likes. That that's
Speaker 1: something that I see as as as being pretty likely.
Speaker 1: But as you said, West, we don't know what Brian
Speaker 1: Goodakoins is going to do. I mean, heck, before he
Speaker 1: made his first draft pick as general Andrew, he made
Speaker 1: two trades. He was at fourteen and he traded back
Speaker 1: to then he traded up to eighteen and took Alexander.
Speaker 1: So anything and everything is on the table here for
Speaker 1: that pick at number thirty, So you're ready, you're ready
Speaker 1: for question number two? I am. I just want to
Speaker 1: tell a quick little story. Go back to two years
Speaker 1: ago when they took JR. Alexander. I use that if
Speaker 1: if you the Green Bay, you know, media were allowed
Speaker 1: to go up when we are at lambeau Field and
Speaker 1: go get some food as soon as good concentrated out
Speaker 1: of fourteen. I was going upstairs to grab a taco
Speaker 1: and then certainly, you know, a couple of minutes later
Speaker 1: then or whatever it was, ten twenty minutes later, I
Speaker 1: got the notice, hey, they're moving back up to eighteen.
Speaker 1: And for that reason, if you're at home you have
Speaker 1: tacos on the stove, be careful going and getting them
Speaker 1: because you don't know whether or not the Packers are
Speaker 1: going to make a move. Yeah, alrighty, al right, next question, Wes.
Speaker 1: We've heard a lot about the Packers the need for
Speaker 1: inside linebacker. It's pretty clear cut that once you get
Speaker 1: past ice As Simmons, who's going to be drafted in
Speaker 1: the top ten somewhere, maybe even as high as third
Speaker 1: overall to the Lions. I wouldn't put that past Detroit
Speaker 1: by any stretch there. The next two bested inside linebacker
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray and Patrick Queen. Murray from Oklahoma, Queen from
Speaker 1: l s U. Now, there's a really good chance both
Speaker 1: of those guys will be gone by number thirty. But
Speaker 1: the hypothetical is, if both of those guys are there
Speaker 1: at number thirty, and those are the best guys on
Speaker 1: your board, if you're Brian Goodakunst, which one do you take? Okay,
Speaker 1: So that's a really good question. I would probably take
Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray just because I think he's a little bit
Speaker 1: Now trust me here, I understand there's boom er Bus
Speaker 1: prospects to both of these guys, but with Murray, I
Speaker 1: just think there's a little bit more Hay in the barn.
Speaker 1: I think you have a little bit more better of
Speaker 1: an idea of how he's going to project at the
Speaker 1: next level. Patrick Queen could be the best inside linebacker
Speaker 1: of this group, though, and I include you know Simmons
Speaker 1: in that, who had an exceptional uh combine, But you just,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think there's his many as much
Speaker 1: information out there as there is with Murray, who has
Speaker 1: been a day one starter for the Sooners and and
Speaker 1: made such a huge impact over the years and certainly uh,
Speaker 1: you know, as a guy that I think probably won't
Speaker 1: be there at thirty, but if the Packers would want
Speaker 1: to trade up, you know, potentially could be there in
Speaker 1: the twenties. For that reason, I'm saying Murray. But Mike,
Speaker 1: I've said this all along. I go back to two
Speaker 1: thousand fourteen. I look at this as Shasy or Mosley.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can go wrong with either one
Speaker 1: of those guys. I think both of them are going
Speaker 1: to be exceptional pros. Yeah, I think so too. It
Speaker 1: it feels like you can't go wrong with either one.
Speaker 1: And I will also say that, as I have said
Speaker 1: an insider inbox, I don't think either one of these
Speaker 1: guys is going to be there at thirty. I think
Speaker 1: they will both be drafted before the Packers are on
Speaker 1: the clock at thirty. But I'm with you. I think
Speaker 1: I leaned toward Murray just because of the experience factor.
Speaker 1: You have more to go on. Queen is a little
Speaker 1: bit more of a projection in terms of what type
Speaker 1: of pro he'll be. That's the funny thing, though, West.
Speaker 1: As much as it feels like you can't go wrong
Speaker 1: with either one of these guys, there's a pretty good
Speaker 1: chance based on draft history, that one of these guys
Speaker 1: won't work out. So, um, you know, if you if
Speaker 1: you are faced whatever team, whether it's the Packers or
Speaker 1: someone else, who is in the market for a player
Speaker 1: like that, which if you're faced with that decision, it's
Speaker 1: still kind of a fifty fifty call because there's a
Speaker 1: there there's a chance that one of these guys, for
Speaker 1: one reason or another, could be injuries, could be anything else,
Speaker 1: doesn't end up working out. So yeah, yeah, and I
Speaker 1: can't I would love to be able to ask Brian
Speaker 1: Good this question. I don't think you can because it's
Speaker 1: just too difficult in terms of getting an honest answer.
Speaker 1: But there was that report. I wish I could source
Speaker 1: the correct outlet that had it, but basically made the
Speaker 1: uh analogy drew the conclusion that for you know, whether
Speaker 1: you use a first round pick on inside lineback or
Speaker 1: a middle round pick, there really ends up being basically
Speaker 1: the same coin flip at that position of what that
Speaker 1: player is going to turn into an inside linebacker. It's
Speaker 1: a very difficult spot to project because yes, it's one
Speaker 1: thing to have the football i Q, but you have
Speaker 1: to have the athleticism in two thousand twenty as well
Speaker 1: to be on the field all three downs. You see
Speaker 1: that with Murray and Queen, and that's the reason why
Speaker 1: we are talking about them as being those potential first
Speaker 1: round picks. Yeah, alright, My next question for you doesn't
Speaker 1: involve specific names of picks, but as far as positions. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're Brian Goodakoons, You're sitting at thirty to pick, and
Speaker 1: when you are on the clock, the best players on
Speaker 1: your board are an offensive lineman and a defensive lineman,
Speaker 1: and you have them pretty much rated the same. Which
Speaker 1: direction do you go? Probably gonna go the defensive line route,
Speaker 1: because I think if you look the way that they're
Speaker 1: built right now and how they're playing defense with Mike Petton,
Speaker 1: the front is so important not only to stopping the run,
Speaker 1: but you know, they look for penetration. They look for
Speaker 1: guys to get up and and get after the quarterback
Speaker 1: from those interior one and three technique defensive tackles. So
Speaker 1: that's probably the way way I'm leaning. I also think
Speaker 1: that when you look at what happened with Kenny Clark
Speaker 1: four years ago, they were able to get a young prospect.
Speaker 1: They're a hungry prospect, a guy that had a lot
Speaker 1: of upside but was still only twenty years old at
Speaker 1: that time, and you've seen the player that Kenny Clark
Speaker 1: has become. I want to see them be able as
Speaker 1: as we talked about in our draft preview of position preview,
Speaker 1: I want to see them be able to use him more,
Speaker 1: not situationally because he's an every down player, but be
Speaker 1: able to kind of pinpoint different areas where you want
Speaker 1: to have Kenny Clark on the field. I think getting
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle does that. I believe as it stands
Speaker 1: right now, Ryan Wagner or excuse me, Ricky Wagner, is
Speaker 1: is enough there to be able to hold down the
Speaker 1: Ford at right tackle as it stands for me, you're
Speaker 1: asking me that question, same player. I look at defensive
Speaker 1: line because that's where they put the assets and the
Speaker 1: resources in the past. Yeah, I agree with you. I
Speaker 1: think if that is ultimately the decision, Brian Goodakounts is
Speaker 1: making it thirty I I think he'd be inclined to
Speaker 1: go defensive lineman over offensive lineman for a lot of
Speaker 1: the reasons that you said, and and as I've stressed,
Speaker 1: this draft is not about figuring out how to beat
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners. But the achilles heel of
Speaker 1: this Packer his team a year ago was the run defense.
Speaker 1: And I think, I think, if you have a chance,
Speaker 1: as I've continued to say all offseason, if you have
Speaker 1: a chance to get the next Kenny Clark at number thirty,
Speaker 1: similar to how the Packers got Clark at twenty six
Speaker 1: four years ago, I just don't think you can pass
Speaker 1: if you feel that way about that player. I just
Speaker 1: don't think you can pass that up. For this defense
Speaker 1: and the long term potential that you would have, assuming
Speaker 1: you can resign Kenny Clark, you know, get him signed
Speaker 1: to an extension for the long term, and then to
Speaker 1: have uh, you know, a first round draft pick joining
Speaker 1: him side by side, potentially on that defensive line for
Speaker 1: several years to come. I think that's something that would
Speaker 1: be really really hard to pass up. Yeah, I agree,
Speaker 1: and and and I just think of being able to
Speaker 1: get another type of player caliber athlete like Clark, a
Speaker 1: first round you know, pedigree would be really valuable for
Speaker 1: them to have two of those guys that could play
Speaker 1: three tech, uh, you know, get him in the nickel packages,
Speaker 1: get him in some of the dying packages or rotate
Speaker 1: them there. That would be really valuable right now, and
Speaker 1: that's where the money's at right now, Mike. You see
Speaker 1: it across the league, Aaron Donald thing. That is for real,
Speaker 1: teams are no longer just looking for the edge rusher.
Speaker 1: They're looking for a defensive tackle that can collapse the pocket.
Speaker 1: They got one of them with Kenny Clark. I think
Speaker 1: a second one could really do wonders for that defense
Speaker 1: as well. All right, A lot of talk obviously all
Speaker 1: offseason about the wide receiver position. Where do you think
Speaker 1: in this draft? And Brian Goodacuns, he said it after
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game he's looking to add at receiver.
Speaker 1: He did add Devin Functious. I think he's clearly going
Speaker 1: to add at wide receiver in this draft, maybe with
Speaker 1: multiple picks. But my question for you right now is
Speaker 1: where do you see the Packers picking a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Do you think they'll pick one at thirty Do you
Speaker 1: think it will be the end of the second round
Speaker 1: when their pick comes up at the end of the
Speaker 1: third round, When do you think Brian Goodacuns ends up
Speaker 1: choosing a wide receiver for the first time in this draft?
Speaker 1: I think second round, I think they go back to
Speaker 1: the well. I think they go back to what has
Speaker 1: served them in the past, and and that has been
Speaker 1: finding really legitimate, high level caliber receivers in the second
Speaker 1: round Randall Cobb, Greg Jennings, and now certainly you look
Speaker 1: at Jordy Nelson, what he did in two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight and now the franchise. Davante Adams. I think you
Speaker 1: need no matter how this shakes out, Mike, I think
Speaker 1: you need to use one in the first three rounds.
Speaker 1: The Packers have drafted a lot of receivers the last
Speaker 1: few years, a lot of them. On Day three. I
Speaker 1: would love to see them be able to bring in
Speaker 1: a guy. And as I've said all along, my whole
Speaker 1: thing is I'm not expecting them, especially in this climate,
Speaker 1: to come in and just set the world on fire
Speaker 1: as rookies. But I want to get a young guy
Speaker 1: with really high upside and ceiling in that receiver's room
Speaker 1: with Davante Adams. Davante Adams is the best resource a
Speaker 1: young receiver can have right now in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: He he knows what it's like to come up. He's
Speaker 1: worked with some tremendous veterans before. He's willing and open
Speaker 1: with his information and ability to help. And and the
Speaker 1: other thing is too that's great about it. You can
Speaker 1: find any franchise All Pro Pro Bowl receiver in this league.
Speaker 1: I mean this, Davante Adams is about his humble is
Speaker 1: a guys you're gonna find that is a legitimate superstar
Speaker 1: now at his position he is. You ask any of
Speaker 1: these guys not on the record, you can ask any
Speaker 1: of them off the record how open he is. That's
Speaker 1: why I think if you can get a guy in
Speaker 1: there that's a first or second round talent and have
Speaker 1: Adams showed them the way and show them how this
Speaker 1: offense works with Aaron rodgers Man, that would be incredible
Speaker 1: for that players upside in the future. Yeah, I I
Speaker 1: will say I agree with you for the most part.
Speaker 1: I think the most likely is maybe the second round pick.
Speaker 1: But I'll throw a couple of caveats in there. If
Speaker 1: my first prediction comes true that Brian Goodakun's trades back
Speaker 1: from thirty to somewhere in the mid to late thirties,
Speaker 1: I could see him you I could see him picking
Speaker 1: a wide receiver at the top of the second round
Speaker 1: because that's right where the Packers got Jordy Nelson back
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight when Ted Thompson traded back
Speaker 1: from thirty to thirty six. So while I don't think
Speaker 1: the Packers will necessarily use their thirty pick on a
Speaker 1: wide receiver, if that trade back into the top half
Speaker 1: of the second round happens, I could see it there.
Speaker 1: The other thing I will say is that because of
Speaker 1: the depth of the receiver position in this draft class,
Speaker 1: which we've been hearing about a lot in this entire
Speaker 1: pre draft process from even before the Combine, through the Combine,
Speaker 1: and all the way up until now, the Packers pick
Speaker 1: at the end of the third round, it wouldn't surprise
Speaker 1: me if that becomes the first pick at wide receiver,
Speaker 1: because you might be able to get a guy there
Speaker 1: who would be similar to a guy that you would
Speaker 1: get at the end of the second round in another year,
Speaker 1: and maybe the first round pick. The second round pick
Speaker 1: is the focus on the big guys, an offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, for example, if those guys are there, and
Speaker 1: then the wide receiver becomes the pick at the end
Speaker 1: of the third round because of the depth at the position.
Speaker 1: So I think just because this year is such a
Speaker 1: unique year in terms of wide receiver as far as
Speaker 1: what the analysts are saying. That's where as much as
Speaker 1: Brian Gudkins has talked about since the end of the
Speaker 1: season in adding at the wide receiver position, he may
Speaker 1: wait until very very late on Friday night before he
Speaker 1: actually does so in this draft. Yeah, and I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have an issue with that whatsoever. The other thing, just
Speaker 1: to be the devil's advocate here, you could also make
Speaker 1: a case for that first round pick the first time
Speaker 1: in eighteen years using a first round pick. This is
Speaker 1: an incredibly deep draft or receiver talent, so you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to get the pick of the litter in
Speaker 1: terms of what type of guy you want and taking
Speaker 1: them at that number thirty spot into One of the
Speaker 1: reasons why the Packers always went second round and more
Speaker 1: recently went late rounds with receivers is because of how
Speaker 1: deep they were at that position. Not to say that
Speaker 1: they're not deep right now, but they don't have those
Speaker 1: proven assets like they did in the past, when you
Speaker 1: knew every single summer it was gonna be Jordy Nelson,
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb, Davante Adams or James Jones that that it's
Speaker 1: a little bit more wide open now. So if you
Speaker 1: do want to actually, as you were talking about in
Speaker 1: our intro here, bring in a guy to add to
Speaker 1: that room in that competition, the best way to get
Speaker 1: a top end prospect is to use that first round pick.
Speaker 1: Could be the first time in eighteen years where the
Speaker 1: Packers would look for a skill position player to take. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you look at the three receivers that were added
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, that was still when you
Speaker 1: had Davante Adams and Randall Cobb as your one to
Speaker 1: the Packers don't have that right now. So that that's
Speaker 1: where again I think the equation is a little bit
Speaker 1: different at wide receiver in terms of how they're looking
Speaker 1: at it now versus maybe in some past years. Okay,
Speaker 1: one more I'm gonna throw at your West will wrap
Speaker 1: up on this one. The Packers are entering this draft
Speaker 1: with ten selections, one in each of the first five
Speaker 1: rounds and then five over the sixth and seventh rounds.
Speaker 1: How many selections do you think the Packers will actually
Speaker 1: make when this is all said and done at the
Speaker 1: end of the weekend. Yeah, seventeen. Mike I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: at seventeen. Just just make your life complicated, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with nine. I knew this question. We
Speaker 1: we did not talk about this. This show is unscripted,
Speaker 1: but I knew this question was coming. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: nine because I think more than any other year, those
Speaker 1: six and seventh rounders are going to be valuable. Uh
Speaker 1: It not necessarily in terms of like, Okay, you want
Speaker 1: to of it them and get as many as possible,
Speaker 1: but you're probably not off floading them the way they
Speaker 1: did in the past and throwing them in different trade packages.
Speaker 1: So I see them making those five picks in the
Speaker 1: final two rounds. So I'm leaving myself on some leeway
Speaker 1: there for them to move up at some point, whether
Speaker 1: it's first round or second round, third round, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe taking one of those either the fourth or the
Speaker 1: fifth and moving around a little bit. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with nine. I say they do make some kind
Speaker 1: of trade over the three days, and they throw a
Speaker 1: pick in there to make it happen. Well, I had
Speaker 1: this question in this Mornings Inside or Inbox, which you
Speaker 1: probably haven't read yet, because I know you were dealing
Speaker 1: with your dog and all of his barking before we
Speaker 1: turned on the cameras today. But I actually said an
Speaker 1: insider inbox, my guests would be nine, and I said,
Speaker 1: it's a total guess. I really don't know. But what
Speaker 1: I want you don't you're not sure. What I will
Speaker 1: say about guessing nine is that this isn't going to
Speaker 1: be just one trade that turns it from ten picks
Speaker 1: into nine. I think Goodakoots might make three or four
Speaker 1: or five trades in this draft where you know, you
Speaker 1: might go back here and then up here and then
Speaker 1: back again another time. I just think when it's all
Speaker 1: said and done, out of the ten selections, he's gonna
Speaker 1: end up with nine players. That's just my guests. But
Speaker 1: that being said, it wouldn't shock me if he ends
Speaker 1: up with twelve players. It wouldn't shock me if he
Speaker 1: ends up with eight. You know, I mean, this could go,
Speaker 1: This could go any number of directions. Yes, I know,
Speaker 1: we're thinking about it for this weekend. Twelve Yeah, twelve
Speaker 1: would make for a long weekend. But as I said,
Speaker 1: actually I wouldn't be surprised if that's uh, if that's
Speaker 1: how this comes out again, we'll just we'll just have
Speaker 1: to wait and see all the all the predictions, all
Speaker 1: the analysis, and everything goes out the window once that
Speaker 1: clock starts ticking on Thursday night, and then we really
Speaker 1: find out what these gms and personnel executives think of
Speaker 1: these players, because, as you know West, they've kept their
Speaker 1: opinions to themselves. All the stuff you hear out there,
Speaker 1: you never know if it's something legitimate or if it's
Speaker 1: just a smoke screen, because these guys don't like their
Speaker 1: opinions to be to be out there in advance. We
Speaker 1: really start to find out come Thursday night. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: nor should they mike it. It's an incredible business that
Speaker 1: NFL scouts in general managers working now general manages a
Speaker 1: little different because it's a three and sixty five day job.
Speaker 1: You're always looking at the roster. But in terms of
Speaker 1: these areas scouts and these college directors, their entire year,
Speaker 1: their salary, all the money that they've the organization is spent,
Speaker 1: put him in hotels and going to protas it all
Speaker 1: boils down to this moment, getting as much information as
Speaker 1: you can, and certainly there's a benefit to that information
Speaker 1: in the long run, but in terms of your studying
Speaker 1: for this test, so yeah, I wouldn't be given away
Speaker 1: my secrets either if I was, you know, someone that's
Speaker 1: investing all my time and energy into these prospects. Now
Speaker 1: that being said, and as you also mentioned, we don't
Speaker 1: know who the Packers are gonna take, but it's always
Speaker 1: fun because, especially in the first round and a little
Speaker 1: bit into the second, we all have our idea of
Speaker 1: who's going to be on the board. For example, I
Speaker 1: mentioned those players that every mock draft I've taken have
Speaker 1: been there. That's Brandon Iuk, the receiver from a s U. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's Nevill Gallimore. That's Ross Blacklock, the TCU defensive tackle
Speaker 1: that you like so much, Ezra Cleveland out of Boise State,
