How about the West weather perfect? 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.320 It's perfect, It's I got the stadium set up for 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.160 the fans, and I think Jeff's right. I mean, this 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.039 is the time of year where everyone is hopeful and 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.840 you're trying to find that piece or multiple pieces that 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.320 kind of help you improve over whatever you did last year, 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.160 whether that's you know, trying to make the playoffs, trying 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.960 to win a division, you know, whatever that goal or 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.160 standard is. As a fan base, ultimately it's to win 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.920 the whole dang thing. And this is a This is 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.720 one of those things where this is one of those 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.720 dates on the calendar you're like, oh, okay, it's about 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.800 everyone can get excited. So during the season, you know, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.160 every weekend, only half the teams are excited at the 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.280 end of the weekend, But tonight going in, everyone will 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.200 be excited and then they'll be the handful of fan bases. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.040 It'll be booing with the pick, but most will think they. 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:17.600 Got their guy. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.320 I remember he look, I got booed. 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:20.560 I remember watching them. 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.760 Yeah, but I think everybody got booed from being a 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.160 pick with New York Jets. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.480 But that's a that's a tradition. But you know, the. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.280 Perspective that we're given is kind of one from being 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.480 a fan of the team and also, uh maybe a 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.040 little bit of a look of somebody that's a little 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.360 bit more of a fan of a team like me 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.680 and Tony. But from the perspective of the players tonight 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.600 is anxiety ridden, you know. I mean, you don't know 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.240 where you're gonna go unless you're Caleb Williams or Jayalen 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.000 Daniels or May. I mean, a lot of these guys 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:50.840 have a pretty good idea that they're going to go 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.440 at the top of the draft, but once you get 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.680 past that, everybody else is like, I don't know what 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.919 my future holds, and a lot of guys are also 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.760 looking at I don't know if Tony did this, but 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.840 I did. I mean I think everybody does at some 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.720 point when you're a potential draft pick, is you're looking 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.680 at what the financial future is gonna hold and you know, 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.680 where am I going to be number one? And what 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.119 are they going to ask me to do? And then 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.680 what does the money look like on the slot that 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.840 I'm gonna get picked? And that's you know, and there's 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.800 a lot of fun involved in that. But there's a 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:24.680 lot of anxiety. 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.080 Yeah, there is anxiety, There's no doubt about it. And 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.519 depending where you get picked, that anxiety can well. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.440 You didn't have much anxiety. It was quick. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.800 It was a quick anxiety. I was fourteen. I had 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.920 a wait a little while. But even even the guys 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.440 who you know, yes, the first round is tonight, but 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.160 guys who are going to go in the second, third 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.240 round and they're you know, some guys who are gonna 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.280 end up in the second round are hoping that they're 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.280 gonna get picked the night they'll be disappointed. Guys who 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:52.800 thought maybe they were going to be a second round 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.840 or get pulled up, you know, their excitement. 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.720 But I think what it also represents is. 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.960 The fulfillment of a bunch of guys dreams and the 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.280 goals that they have set. I mean, I think all 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.240 of us who play, or most of us who played 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.800 in this game as a kid, you dreamed about doing it, 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.600 and this is what you wanted to do, and you 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.480 had success in high school. Then you go to college 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.760 and you have success in college, and whether you're a 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.400 first rounder or a mid rounder, you have a sense 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.559 you're gonna get drafted. And this is the weekend where 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.480 though all the hard work, the long journey to get 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.080 there is kind of fulfilled and you wake up whether 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.200 it's after tonight or after this weekend, like I am 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.159 now an NFL player, and it starts a whole new journey. 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.120 And I think that's also with this represents night on 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:37.719 the player side. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.560 Now let's touch on this. We've got the whole hour 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.320 here to get to the needs and what they could 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.400 do at seventeen moves and possibility. But in general, Trent 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.280 Balky and the person and el staff did a lot 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.880 of work in free agency to fill some holes with 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.720 some veteran players. Eric Armstead comes in, a defensive line, 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.480 Mitch Morris just to name a couple couple of secondary players. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.320 So in your opinion, how does that set up the 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.960 needs now for the Jaguars going into this draft. What 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.839 are maybe one, two, and three. Well, I think for 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:07.880 the most part, you did a good job in free 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.479 agency of filling those holes, and I think every team 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.400 wants to do that for the most part, is fill 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.360 the holes that you have going into the draft so 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.640 that you can end up picking the best available player. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.800 The one hole that the Jaguars did not plug I 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.880 don't think in free agency was the defensive back spot. 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.560 When I say defensive back, I'm talking about for the 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.960 most part, corner. You know, this is a passing league, 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.040 this is a nickel league, this is a dime league. 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.480 You need as many corners as you possibly can. And 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.640 you release Darius Williams and you replaced him with a 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.080 guy from Baltimore. Okay, I understand that, But even last 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.760 year with Darius Williams, you were searching for that guy 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.919 to be the third sure thing and you really didn't 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:46.600 have it, and it ended up being a whole bunch 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.680 of different guys that played at some point. So I 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.680 think that's probably the number one need that really jumps 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.200 out as corner. And then Tony and I both kind 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.200 of had the same opinion. We felt that this team 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.240 needed to get better and more physical upfront with the 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.840 offense and defensive lines. And I'll let Tony speak more 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.600 to the defensive line. But I still think there's a 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.479 glaring need for this football team on the defensive side, 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.159 whether it's inside or outside. The more dogs that you 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.480 can get to get after the quarterback, the better off 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.200 that you're gonna be. And again, I don't care if 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:17.400 it's edge or inside. 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.280 Yeah, I think they addressed Nickel Savage. I mean, at 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.880 the end of the day, yes, his position says safety, 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:25.400 but if you go watch him at Green Bay, he 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.080 was a nickel player. I mean that's really where he 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.359 spent a bunch of his time, and that's more of 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.520 his build as well. They need the outside corner. Jeff's 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.919 right about that with Darius Williams and coming back, I 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.880 still go back to if you look at this team 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:42.880 last year, which where was the biggest void or where 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.680 did they struggle the most? And in my opinion, that 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.640 isn't being physical. I'm both lines of scrimmage and I'm 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.000 going to focus on the offensive line because we could not. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.440 We were one of the worst teams in third and short. 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.720 We were not very good in the goal line. Are 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.040 your arts per carry? Dwindled as the year went on 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.160 and we struggled to control line of scrimmage, especially against 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.360 some of the more physical teams we played in the 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:05.960 back half of the. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.719 Year, which there's a number of them in the division. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.000 And there's a number of those in the division. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.040 So if you look at that group, I like the 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:16.680 Mitch Morris the signing, and he's a veteran hard nos 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.800 guy who knows how to play the game. I think 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.440 that's a good addition in the center. But it's pretty 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.600 much this you know, usual character cast of characters. Besides that, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.680 and we are not a big group of people as 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.600 far as offensive line goes. If you look across the league, 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.360 and I think that's your start in five and so 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.880 I don't think Trent and Doug will go in the 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.440 first round with an offensive linement. But I still think 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.440 over draft weekend that is a position group that you 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:50.240 have to build depth young guys, big physical guys on 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.160 the offensive line as well as the defense line. I 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.960 agree with Jeff Eric Armstead, great signing, but all Eric 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:59.000 Armstad is also highly productive, very good player, but also 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.320 coming off injuries and getting up there and getting an 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.560 age and so you know, how long can he perform 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.560 at the level I hope for a long time and 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.520 if we can get you know, three years a little 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:14.000 bit like Clay's game awesome because he's a top notch player. 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.760 But still, I'm not shutting any bodies. I'm not shutting 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:17.960 the door on offensive line. 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.000 Though in round one. Yeah, in round one, you're not. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.800 No, No, I'm not. We'll come back to that in 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:23.520 just a little bit. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.400 By the way, I like it. Yeah, I'm with you. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.280 I'm always with me. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.480 I'm with you. I just don't think that's where they're 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:32.840 gonna go. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.280 Whether you need air, electric, or plumbing service, Donovan is 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.040 always a good call and they've been trusted by customers 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.559 for almost forty years. Trust them to deliver fast, reliable 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.160 service to your home. To tonight's lam Jaguars dot Com, 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.760 Jaguars YouTube, JP Shadwick, Jeff Logoman, Tony Boselli, we'll hear 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.080 from Bucky Brooks in about twenty minutes or so. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:52.959 Let's go to. 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.880 Downtown Detroit, Michigan. Brian Sexton is standing by at Draft 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.760 Central and it's been a long time coming for the 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.800 city of Detroit. Brian, good afternoon. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:04.640 Hey how are you guys. 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.800 Let me tell you, obviously this is a town that's 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.600 very proud of the Lions. The last couple of seasons, 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.120 and everywhere you look there's a sea of Lion blue. 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.800 I'll let you guess what most Lions fans have said 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.360 to us and our crew when they've seen the Jaguar logo, right, 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.679 thanks for Hutchinson. They're a little sparse, spicy, they have 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.600 a lot to say. So it's a kaleidoscope of NFL 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:31.360 fans here the Draft. It left New York after the 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.720 twenty fourteen season and went to Chicago and Philly and 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.920 Dallas and Nashville, and you guys know, it's become an 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.960 epic event. I mean, fans just flooding from all over 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.959 the country. It feels sort of like a mini Super 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.760 Bowl week in terms of the events and the people 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:49.520 in the places. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.319 This place is going to be hopping tonight. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:52.680 Brian. 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.840 It looks like the weather in Detroit is just custom 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.320 made for a little outdoor event in the Draft. It 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.719 looks like everybody is light jacket and the weather and 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.559 everything else looks to be good, and the skies are blue. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.040 Listen, the NFL yesterday was worrying about it because it 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.319 was forty degrees with a wind chill that felt like thirty, 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.760 and it was as gray as could be. It felt 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.800 exactly like you'd expect the Upper Midwest to be in 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.880 late April, and of course, with the draft going to 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.920 Green Bay next year, it wasn't looking too good. This 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.600 is a Chamber of Commerce day, as folks have filed in, 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.400 and I have to tell you we were at the 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.720 player event yesterday with the prospects, a lot of national 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.400 media there, and all the talk here is is that 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.640 the Jaguars are going to get a shot at one 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:40.800 of those two corners. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:41.839 There's two teams to. 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:46.200 Watch, Philadelphia, which currently is behind the Jaguars, and the Colts, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.800 which currently are two spots in front of the Jaguars. 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:50.079 Just depending on. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.120 How the board rolls out with quarterbacks, if Michael Pennix 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.640 goes in the top fifteen picks, it's likely that one 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.760 of these two kids, either Quinyan Mitchell or Terry and 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.560 Arnold will be sitting there at seventeen if that's the 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:04.960 angle the Jaguars want to go. 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.800 I had the chance to talk to both of them yesterday. 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.600 They're impressive young men, both Floridians, by the way, Terry 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.439 and Arnold from Saint John Paul the Second High School 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:19.520 in Tallahassee and Mitchell from Williston, Florida, about twenty miles 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.040 south of Gainesville. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:22.760 So both of them are eager to come home. 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.520 Both of them possessed the sort of qualities that can 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.720 play press even if neither one of them played press 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.680 predominantly in college, and they're thought to be the top 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.439 two corners right behind them, there's a surge right now 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.040 for Cooper to Jean who is one of those Swiss 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.400 army knife guys, and he ran faster than both of 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:47.319 the Alabama cornerbacks at the combined. And then Nate Wiggins 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.880 from Clemson, who I was told yesterday is a guy 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.040 that probably finds his way into the bottom of the 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.360 first round even though he's only one hundred and seventy 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.360 five pounds. He's got blazing speed, ran a four point 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.760 two eight, and most NFL teams think he's guy that 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.160 can recover if he gets beat off the line of scrimmage. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.520 So all the conversation here regarding the Jaguars and everything 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.600 between about fifteen and twenty. 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.360 Has been cornered Brian. 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:16.920 Every draft weekend there's a buzz or there's a story developing, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.599 Guys falling rising. 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.199 What are you hearing in Detroit? 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.880 Any big news come in over the last twenty four 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:23.640 to forty eight. 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:28.800 Hours, Really, Tony, the story has been the quarterbacks. You 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.120 figure there's four that are taken near the top ten. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.360 And then does the kid from Washington Pennix Junior. Is 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.760 he the guy that goes? And the story is he's 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.800 probably gonna go thirteen to the Raiders who don't want 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.760 to miss a chance. They don't want to get cute 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.960 and back up into the first round and take a 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.120 chance on losing him. There's three teams that everybody's looking 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.200 at to see if they might make noise and move 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.840 up at quarterback, and those are the Giants are one, 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:59.240 the Minnesota Vikings are two, and then the third team 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.600 is the Denver Brown Goes. All of them are in 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.360 the quarterback market. They're really the ones that are the 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.840 tipping points. But we've been to these drafts where there 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.000 are players who have fallen hard on draft night, and 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.960 there's no story brewing, at least not at this point 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.880 about somebody. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.240 Who is not going to get drafted tonight. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.440 And by the way, it's interesting there's only thirteen players here. 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.000 The number has dropped the last couple of years post 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.520 COVID but it's only thirteen, which is a really low 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.199 number for a league that's used to having a full 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:33.280 stage and players walking across and embracing the commissioner. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:34.679 It's gonna be a little light tonight. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:35.040 Well. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.439 Part of the reason for that is I remember when 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.000 I was, you know, got invited to New York before 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.520 I knew I was gonna pick. My biggest fear was 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.280 and I think guys watched the draft and they see 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.560 guys sitting there camera on them sliding out of the 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:50.199 first round. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.479 You talk about being miserable. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:53.800 That's not the fear anymore. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.120 Do you think it's the money? It's the money you 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:57.920 think they're getting paid to go other places? 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.280 And I'm being totally honest here. Okay, you're putting on 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.720 Brian and you probably would agree with me. The NFL 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.600 is putting on one heck of a production that's generating 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.080 great TV ratings and attracting these first round pick players 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.880 or trying to attract them to the event in Detroit. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.320 They have never paid the players in the past. They've 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.320 just paid for their expenses in not first class airfare. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.680 Why would you not go ahead and pay the players 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.440 to be there at an event like this to even 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.920 generate bigger TV ratings. I don't quite get it. They 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:31.600 gave me first class tickets, Yes, you got a good agent. 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:36.120 Yeah, did you get paid? No, but pay the guys. 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.200 Pay the guys. But the biggest story of the draft, 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:39.720 in Brian, you hit it right on the head. It's 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.640 going to be the quarterback situation. And that's really good 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.280 for the Jaguars because if all of a sudden, at 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.840 seventeen they've had six quarterbacks to get drafted ahead of them, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.000 that's going to push a boatload of talent down to 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.480 them where they're going to have the pick of the litter. Now, 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.920 whether it's six or five or whatever that number is, 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.400 the fact is is that it will be at least four. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.280 In my p could be six, which would give the 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:07.240 Jaguars a lot of options at seventeen. Well, the key. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.520 Player there is Pennix going to the Raiders, because if 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.760 he goes there at thirteen, it means one of those 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.680 corners is likely to slide through or probably both because 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.640 there is a huge swell for the edge rusher. Latu 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.840 from UCLA another guy that I spent some time with yesterday. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:28.400 Huge personality, a great story overcoming the neck injury, and 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.320 you know, talking to Charles Davis yesterday says clearly the 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.800 best pass rusher with the most moves in the draft. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.320 Love them, love law too. Of course you do, and 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.520 we've heard that for weeks on this program. Final thought, Ry, 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.440 what do you think tonight? What do you want tonight? 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.400 Well, I want an offensive lineman. You know you've got 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:47.400 two tacks. 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.440 Off of their contracts. And Tony listen and Jeff, you 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.160 look at these drafts very carefully. This is the best 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.880 offensive line draft, at least at the top, that I've 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.520 seen in my thirty years covering the draft. There are 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.520 at least ten guys that belong in the first round. 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:05.720 And it doesn't matter whether you're talking about tackle or 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.080 guard or center. I love the kid from Washington, Troy 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.160 Oh not to I think I've got that right. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.440 I had to say it really slow. 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.200 He's got a guy you talk about, guy with tremendous 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.080 ability to play all over. I had one guy in 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.240 Dallas tell me that he believes he's Zack Martin. Well, 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.640 you were alluding to the fact that last year at 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.400 the point of attack, we were so ineffective at converting 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.760 third down. In short, who doesn't need Zack Martin. I 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.600 would love to see that kid show up in Jacksonville. 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.520 But it just looks like the convergence of need and 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.280 value is going to be a corner. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:39.680 And he's a guard. 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.480 Well, I don't care that phone other kid. That's the 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:48.200 type of guy good who moves people. He's a big board. 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.280 Doesn't have the length for a tackle though, but he's athlete. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:52.240 Why. 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.560 He's a tough dude. And Brian, I'm with you whether 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:57.400 it's the tackle. 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.160 He's got a thirty four inch arm, seventy seven inch 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.280 wing span. He no, I think he's got enough link 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.040 to play. But but my here's here's what I know. 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.040 He won the Morris Award and Tony who gets the 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:09.960 Morris Award. 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.080 Every year best offensive lineman in the PAC twelve. 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.360 Yeah, that he was the last winner of it up here. 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:19.600 Well, I did, Brian to your point. 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:20.639 I led you to that one. 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.439 But it works perfect. I go. I'm with Brian. This 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:25.800 is a big bands game. 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.720 You can have all the skills and I'm not saying 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.960 we don't need corner and everything else like this, but 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.600 this is one thing I know. If you control the 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.320 liner scrimmers on offense, boy, the receivers are better, the 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:38.920 running backs better, your quarterbacks better, and if you can 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.840 control the liner scrimmers on defense hit the quarterback, those 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:42.920 corners get really. 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.000 Good, really good. Hi, Brian, thanks for the reporting from Detroit. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:47.919 We'll talk to you in a pre draft show at 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.640 seven thirty a little bit later tonight. Thanks very much. 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.120 Brian Sexton joining us from Draft Central and Detroit, Michigan. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.920 Plenty ahead, we'll come back and discuss Trent Balke's trade 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:04.640 history draft.

He took over the 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.920 twenty ten San Francisco draft very late in the process. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.000
