00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: do a mock draft here today and we're changing things

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: up a little bit from a little concerned. I gotta

25
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: be honest with you, It is a little concerning because

26
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: we're stepping outside our our norms here. We're going to

27
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: fans speak dot Com to use their mock draft, and

28
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: we're also using their rankings. They might be great. I'm

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: just they might not be so they might be a

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: little different than what we're used to. Yeah, talk through it. Yeah, well,

31
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: but well we're gonna We're gonna do it. And the

32
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: draft is already running here and we're on the clock here.

33
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: You said they will not propose trades to us, and

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: which is fine. That's fine. Uh. So we're up at

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: pick twenty four. The top offensive tackles available. You're looking

36
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: at Tevin Jenkins, You're looking at Jalen Mayfield. Uh, Samuel

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: cos me h, the typical guys. Yeah, I don't have

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: a problem with those guys. Running back Travis A t

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: n and naj Harrison interesting, uh, Javantos all the running

40
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: backs available. The centers of Creed, Humphrey, Landed, Dickerson, Trede,

41
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: Josh Meyers. Those guys are all available. Quinn Miners, guys

42
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: are all available. So we didn't have the darrisaw run

43
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: to the podium, did not situation at wide receiver. You're

44
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: looking at Darius Tony. I just don't think you can

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: do that ron Dale Moore, Okay. Uh, edge rushers, Quincy

46
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Rochet still there, Uh, Gregory Russo there. So there's some

47
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: eyes available at that position overall. Just curiously the outside

48
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: the off ball linebacker might be because we were talking

49
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: about that. Look at that Nick Bolton's Avin Collins, Cameron

50
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: or grown Chess Ratchebal. I mean there's there's guys there. Uh.

51
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: We lean towards taking the tackle. I think this is

52
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: the class of conversation we're gonna have a million times.

53
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: Is naj Harris verse a non Derra saw tackle? We like?

54
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: But it's not the slam dunk who I leaned towards Harris.

55
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Although I really like Williams. I don't know Williams gonna

56
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: be there in the second round. You know, I prefer

57
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Harris to the other guys. I respect for a t

58
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: N but he would sure help a lot. All right,

59
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: take we're taking Naja Harris. That's the pick. Make a

60
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: lot of Steeler friends happy. Darius Darius Tony went next.

61
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: But right, he would really fit into that, He really would. Yeah,

62
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: he would be a weapon. Okay, we're onto the second round.

63
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: That is loading up here in the course. Now, so

64
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: we've gotten are running back running back interestingly enough, the

65
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: team needs here, do not list running back. I did

66
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: an interview today and on a on a local radio show,

67
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: and I was asked, well, you know the Steelers have

68
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: running backs. They could just start, you know, with the

69
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: backs that they got next year, and like they will

70
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: not like Benny Snow will not be there starting running

71
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: back their number one next year. Can't You can't, can't absolutely.

72
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean the only way is if they think McFarland's

73
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: a star, right, you know that we just haven't seen you.

74
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: We didn't see it this year this year. Okay, we're

75
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: back up on the clock. Here the top players available

76
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: Cameron mcgron, javonte according to their rankings. Cameron mcgron, Javonte

77
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: Williams did make it to that. Um, yeah, we we

78
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: still need to tackle the top tackles available, Liam Eikenberg Walker,

79
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: Little Brady Christensen. Uh, you look at the Spencer Brown,

80
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: James Hudson available, Adrian Eally. This is the usual, usual,

81
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: usual suspects, right the center position. It got picked over

82
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. You got Josh Meyers, You've got

83
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: Trey Hill, You've got Quinn Miners. That's pretty much the

84
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: guys that you would look at their I like that

85
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: tackle selection, but I feel like we might have to

86
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: do this. Take the center one of those two. That

87
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: might be a reach. At this point, it does feel

88
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: like a little of a reach, but I can stick

89
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: to your board. Gonna take Eichenberg or one of those

90
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: type of guys I think you almost have to be

91
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: just because they're quality players and their tackles and they're

92
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: hard to find. I think you can find. The thing

93
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: to me is if you're going to pay somebody in

94
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: free agency, you can't do it with a tackle. No.

95
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: I was sitting there thinking you could find you could

96
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: find a center for three or four million dollars. That

97
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: would be OK. Yeah, I mean it's not ideal, but

98
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: three of them will get cut during this wave of

99
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, you'll find a veteran get you buy center

100
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: and it's said it's a health position for most teams.

101
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: It is a health position for the Steelers, it has

102
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: not been that because they've been so much better there

103
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: in a nutshell, you always take the tackle over a

104
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: center and it's not like I mean, Meyer and Miners

105
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: are interesting players, but they're not pounce coming. Taking them

106
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: in the second round. Taking the second round is a

107
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: little rich, that's for sure. And they may even last.

108
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: You know, there's not gonna kind of teams out there

109
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: in the center market. Is Eikenberg the tackle you like best?

110
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: I think so. I think so. And I think he's

111
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: a loaf or a high floor guy. Yeah, you know,

112
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: he's been the Notre dame offensive lineman that have come

113
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: out in recent years, and they're well coached and you know,

114
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: they got a lot to work with. We're fine with that.

115
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: Let's take that. Okay. So we've gotten running back two doubles. Yeah,

116
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: that's which is fine. That's fine. That's what you need

117
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: to do. You need to get guys who can come

118
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: in and play. Um. The only other guy would have

119
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: considered what might have considered like a Jackson Carmen who's

120
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: a natural left tackle. But that's okay. We're we're making

121
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: our picks um again. I mean, you might be able

122
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: to find a one year veteran center that will get

123
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: you through. That isn't Ronni Dawson or right, but they had,

124
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, in between Jeff Harding's and Marquise Pouncy, you

125
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: plugged a couple of different guys in there were they great? No, no,

126
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: but but that's what most You made it to a

127
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl with without, you know, a true star. Think

128
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: you'll be pretty good at guard. All right, we're back

129
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: up again here, and well let's take a look and

130
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: see what's available at the center position. Okay, Uh, the

131
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: top guys are miners, Ben Cleveland, Jimmy Morrissey at a

132
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: pit I wouldn't have any problem to taking miners in

133
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: the third round. I wouldn't either. Let's just take a

134
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of lucked out that that's even an option wide receiver.

135
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: You're looking at Diane Brown, Maari Rodgers, Elijah Moore, Kay Johnson,

136
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: I like a little bit out of like Elijah Moore

137
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: to Yeah, I don't know that I can pass on

138
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: the center, but I think Elijah Moore is will be

139
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: a second round pick. Uh. Linebacker position. Pete Werner still

140
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: available for State Monty Rice. Um, so there's some guys

141
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: there at the edge you're looking at. Joe Tryon is

142
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: still available. Um, wow, yeah, that's appealing. Him and Moore

143
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: are both I don't expect to be their best guy

144
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 1: on the board. So it's really the need versus grade.

145
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: But there are five of those respective positions that are

146
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: really good values. Do you cross your fingers that any

147
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: one of them fall to the fourth round or do

148
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: you cross your fingers that a center fall that miners

149
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: one guy throws goes to the fourth round. You can

150
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: never go wrong taking what is the best prospect, regardless

151
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: of position. The boy they need a center. That's a

152
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: tough call. It's a small school guy. Um didn't play

153
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: last year. All you've done is seen him at the

154
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. He didn't play in the game. Can you

155
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: roll the dice and hope that you've got two fourth

156
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: round picks? Right? Do you take the You just take

157
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: the best player available. I think I take the center.

158
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean many times we've said the goal is here's

159
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: a small little pod of running backs, a small little

160
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: pod of tackles and centers. We can achieve those goals

161
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: by taking him. See the other guy that I'm really

162
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: intrigued with here is Werner. Yeah, because he might be.

163
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: He might line up for you inside backer on day one.

164
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: He might. I can't believe try Ons there though, And

165
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: try On is the other guy like that's although I

166
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in Highsmith, I have more

167
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: faith in high Smith than I did a month ago.

168
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: To be honest, I think he's gonna be a good

169
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: NFL starter. So that's the least need of the groups

170
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: to me. And I think more would be your slot

171
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: receiver for and it is a really good player, tough. Yeah,

172
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: let's take the center, all right, and then we'll see

173
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: what's then. The next one is the bonus prize. Unless

174
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: they're all gone, we're gonna we're gonna take him here

175
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: because we both like him higher than what they have

176
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: him ranked. Because they've got him ranked number two four,

177
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: he would he would last. If we didn't pick him here,

178
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: he would last, cheating a little bit. It would probably

179
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: get in the fourth round. We shouldn't know that, all right,

180
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: But we're taking him. We're taking him, so we've accomplished

181
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: our our goal. We got our we got our little

182
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: boring running back, offensive tackle, center. We filled those knees.

183
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: Now we gotta get now. I think we take best

184
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: player available in this pick, which is a nice thing

185
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: when we trade down to the forty Niners. Really, that

186
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't they'll do that. That would be a weird pick

187
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: for the right. I mean they've taken Samuel and Ayukai

188
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: the last two year running back wide receivers all over

189
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: the place. Again. You know, I think if if if

190
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: Kate Johnson fell to me here, I'd be very because

191
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: he would jump right in and phil Philla need No,

192
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: He's would be a good fit they. I mean, any

193
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: receiver would be fine. This team were just winning. Yeah,

194
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: that would have been the home run. Alright, we're getting

195
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: down to our pick here. So right now we've got Nause,

196
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: Harris leam Meikenberg, Quinn Miners. Again, not a super exciting

197
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: thing here, but we did what we set out to do. Okay,

198
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: So here's what we got. We're on the clock wide

199
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: receiver you're looking at to Marry and Terry at a

200
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: Florida State Frank Darby, Jalen Darden, Deck's mill the wide

201
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: receiver position getting nailed. I don't love it. Garden is

202
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: the North Texas guy. I kind of like, yeah, but

203
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean it seems a little rich for him here.

204
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Uh it edge you're looking at Shaka Tony interesting, Okay,

205
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: uh you got White Huberts is still there. So you've

206
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: got a couple of guys there that could come in

207
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: and be here. You're looking for number three, You're not

208
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: looking for a starter, So I don't know that I

209
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: want to look at that. You know, they don't have

210
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: a ton of money, but I would love to find

211
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: a cheap one year deal veteran that's been around the league?

212
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Did those making Those may come free? Like they may

213
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: end up being available as the process comes. Just a

214
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: guy who started some games that if something better than

215
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that type of dude money

216
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: rice available and inside linebacker. Get Barrett Browning from Ohio State,

217
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: venture On Miller from Florida's another running hit guy Dylan

218
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: Moses from Bama. Wow. I mean I'd like to know

219
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: what his story is, you know what I mean? Like

220
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ability their superstar recruits that has

221
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: it hasn't all panned out as they're off the field stuff,

222
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: as they're learning stuff. I don't know that's their injury stuff,

223
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: but boy, he could be a hit for you. Yeah,

224
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: my guy, Garrett Wallo is still available, So there's so

225
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: there's still some guys there that on that deposition and

226
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: requity that Wallo would be your third choice though, behind

227
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Rice and Yeah. Yeah. Um at cornerback Thomas Graham out

228
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: of Oregon, Robert Rochelle at A Central Arkansas, Aaron Robins

229
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: and at A Central Florida. He's interesting, Benjamin st Ju

230
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: out of Minnesota. Both those last two are Sean Davis

231
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: out of Florida, the Mama Door Lenore out of Oregon.

232
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: Nice slot, uh, Ambrey Thomas from Michigan. So there's some

233
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: guys there at that position. Kelvin Joseph at A Kentucky's

234
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: like him. I wonder if we could take one of

235
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: those our next pick. Brian mill is still available from

236
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Carolina Central, So there's there's corners will go,

237
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: They're gonna go, right, they're gonna go. We don't wait,

238
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: rollong on to our next pick, right, Uh, yeah, we

239
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: do have another one coming right up here. Um. The

240
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: wide receiver position, we covered a little bit of that.

241
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: I think at this point you just kind of wait

242
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, if you if you've been listening to us,

243
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: you'll notice that I'm a little eager to grab one

244
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: of those wide receivers because I think they can really

245
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: help a lot. But the way this sets up, I

246
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: like going linebacker corner with these next two picks, and

247
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: we haven't looked at defensive line yet. We tend to

248
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: wait here, which I don't always love. Yeah, so what

249
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: you've got and they're they're got edge guys mixed in

250
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: here as well. Uh, they don't have them list broken

251
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: down as taxes. But you get Lebrian Ray out of

252
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: Alabama to Darryl Slayton out of Florida. Um, that's been

253
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: picked over pretty well. Yeah, it's a bad position this year.

254
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: Mustapha Johnson is still there, but he's later. Cameron Sample

255
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: out of Tulane still there. Um. I hate to say it,

256
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: but and he might regret it, but a three pounder

257
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: might be next year's draft project might be. Yeah, it's

258
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: just there's just not much this year. It really is,

259
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: and it's it's a weak position, and you don't want

260
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: to overdraft a position that what you need. So what

261
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: do you feel in they're a linebacker or I kind

262
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: of like one of the linebackers, either Moses or Rice.

263
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: I think of the two you mentioned, get a preference

264
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: between the two. Moses is really swinging for the fences.

265
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: I think Rice is a good player too, though I don't,

266
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: but I'm glad that both are. I think Rice is

267
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: the double and Moses is the boy. This could really

268
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: he could be swinging a miss um and then I

269
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of corners that one of them

270
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: should be there next time. You would hope you would think.

271
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: I like that that way of addressing this need. Right now,

272
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: your your choice, online backer. We've hit a lot of

273
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: doubles are great, Doubles are great. I kind of I

274
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: kind of like another double, though we scored more runs

275
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: with more doubles. This team needs doubles. Team needs doubles.

276
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: Let's take Rice. Okay, he might be a starter. Yeah,

277
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: they might have a starter. Yeah, I mean athletically, he's,

278
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, way better than Splane. I say it's probably

279
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: second to Bush. Yeah. He gives you another guy like Bush,

280
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: which you can really use. All Right, we're back up

281
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: again here. The corners, Aaron Robinson, st Just Sean Davis,

282
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: Lenore out of Oregon, Aubrey Thomas, uh Shaker Brown out

283
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: of Michigan State, even Mike doesn't like, we can't take him.

284
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph at of a Kentucky's a got some ability.

285
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: Brian Mills in the North care on a central. I

286
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: mean a guy like Saint Juice to me is you

287
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: can wait and you don't need a corner to play

288
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna assume that we have a slot

289
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: under contract, Hilton Man, do we assume that or do

290
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: we assume that we don't have an You know, that's

291
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: what we don't know. It's hard to decide what type

292
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: of corner do they need to because there're two really

293
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: looking looking at two different positions here, right Do we

294
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: need a slot now or do we need Hayden's replacement? Yeah,

295
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: they're they're totally opposite. That to me is why a

296
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: guy like Lenore is interesting because he can play inside

297
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: or out. He's kind of like Sutton. Not to mention

298
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: if you don't have Sutton, or if you do have Sutton,

299
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: you still don't have a backup for Sutton. Sutton could

300
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: be Haydon's replacement if he gets hurt, or Nelson's replacement

301
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: if he gets hurt. And then and then you need it,

302
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: then you need another slot. Is gonna be a need

303
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: at some point either even if you do sign Hilton

304
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: or Sutton, they're not going to be the starter maybe

305
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: two or three years from now. Yeah, and sometimes you'll

306
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: play two slot the time. And he's you know, he's

307
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: five eleven, two hundred pounds. He's not a he's not

308
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: he's not a small slot. He doesn't look like Mike Kilton. Yeah,

309
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that pick. Let's go ahead and take

310
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: him when dy'll take a corner. Yeah, and that's a sation.

311
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: He's I mean, he's built like Cameron Sutton, so you

312
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: can play insider out. You don't want to get old

313
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: in the corner room, and you could if you don't

314
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: take one in the mid rounds is okay. So now

315
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: we get a little bit of a break here because

316
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: well we don't have another pick, but when the compics

317
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: are awarded, we will have another pick in this spot.

318
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get the chance to draft three guys

319
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: in that fourth round potentially, Yeah, or move up in

320
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: that third round to get some of those might be

321
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: a wide out. Yeah, consider what we have now, Like

322
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: I would probably be in the market for a wide

323
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: out but not to reach um. Yeah, we got so.

324
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: Thus far, we've we've taken the Nausea Harris out of

325
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: Alabama in the first round, Liam Mike and Berg in

326
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: the second, Quinn Miners at Wisconsin Whitewater in the third.

327
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: We had two fourth round picks. We took with the

328
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: twenty third pick, Money Rice, the linebacker of Georgia, and

329
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: with pick thirty six in the fourth round, Dermmador Lenore

330
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: out of Oregon. Nice. I'm pretty happy with things. Yeah,

331
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: I think we're addressed needs for sure. Okay, we are back. Actually,

332
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: the fifth round is now over, so we're rolling onto

333
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: the sixth. That's what kind of stinks is the fifth

334
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: round pick, right, you know, which will change you'll have

335
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: you'll have those those you gotta look at those extra

336
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: fourth round picks. Is actually you're you do have picks there,

337
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: you do. And not to mention, I mean, I don't

338
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: know if the Steelers agree with us, but we often

339
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: trade down from twenty four. You'll probably have stuff in

340
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: this area or another guy in the bay, and one

341
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: more pick already on the roster when this timer rolls around,

342
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: which makes it a lot easier during this drought time

343
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden you get to the

344
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: point where it's now we're just taking dart throws, you know,

345
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: for the rest of the draft. Kind of okay, So

346
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: h K J. Costello and Brian Mills just went. I

347
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: would say Mills have been nice and we are back

348
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: on the clock here. Brian. Yeah. So it was best

349
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: player available, best player available according to this one. Well

350
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: are You've got Ernest Jones, linebacker out of South Carolina.

351
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: Our guy taught me Kramer, who we've taken a lot

352
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: to guard out of Notre Dame. Wide receiver Rico Boosey

353
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: or Bussy out of North Texas. Uh, Matt Basham or Bushman.

354
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: I should say the tight end at a b y

355
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: U Darren Hall, cornerback out of San Diego State. Safety

356
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: Divine Diablo out of Virginia Tech. Garrett Wallo is still

357
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: available on on this one, I don't know you can take.

358
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: You can't take another one there, um, So I think

359
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: you really do you want an edge? I think i'd

360
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: consider Cramer, him and Eikenberg room together. I'm big on

361
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: that make their transition a little here the here are

362
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: the edges available. You've got Marquis Marquis Spencer out of

363
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, Chauncey Golston out of Iowa, Sam Williams at

364
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: of Mississippi, Justice read at a Virginia Tech, Michael Clemens

365
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: from Texas A and m Generis Robinson Robinson at of

366
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Florida State. Um, there's a lot of name there that

367
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: I William Bradley King at a Baylor's. The Robinson dude

368
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: from Florida State is supposedly a high upside maybe some

369
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: red flag type of guy from what I understand. If

370
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: there's a name there, you like, this is a great

371
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: spot to take an edge. Uh, let's look at the

372
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: big big fellas. Uh, take one Graham out of Texas,

373
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: Kyrie Campbell out of Florida, Lorenz O'Neil produes, Avier Kelly

374
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: at of Arkansas and Nikewan Jones from Michigan State. Arebrey

375
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: Solomon from Tennessee, Mustafa Johnson from Colorado, Cam Sample still

376
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: there out of Tulane. Uh. Any of those defensive line

377
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: front line player's edge or d lyman attractive, So I

378
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: think it'd be a great area to address. I think

379
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: Sample or or or Johnson would mix into your Yeah,

380
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: give you another young it would be nice to add

381
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: some potential guy there. Uh, wide receivers we take aware, No,

382
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: we haven't dated on it. If not taking a wide receiver,

383
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: Um Trey Walker I mentioned. Um Looking here, it seems

384
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: pretty picked through. I mean Racy McMath is still there.

385
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: He's a guy that we've taken before the big just

386
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: taking a shot. Um wop Filer still there. Yeah, just yeah,

387
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: they have a hard time see in the field. They would,

388
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: they would, They might have to be next year if

389
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: he goes this way. Be unfortunate not to get a

390
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: value wide receiver because but everybody else's such as life though,

391
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: you can't have everything. Uh, it's a tight end position

392
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: that's pretty picked over. Yeah, I mean you're looking at

393
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: one of those defensive line front lining or the Notre

394
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: Dame guard. Although Carrie Angeline is still there. It's a

395
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: tight end position here. He's more of a blocker than

396
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: a pass catcher. But I'm okay with that. Yeah, right,

397
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: that's okay. I mean we're trying to establish a run game,

398
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: and boy, I don't want Gentry to make the team.

399
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Well he's not gonna block for you, He's I'm fine

400
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: with that too. Let's go ahead. And make that to pick.

401
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: That's a that's a need pick. But for him there

402
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine teams. Yeah, that's just that's the thirty

403
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: first pick in the sixth round, right right, right, right right?

404
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: What are we you know, what are we talking about here?

405
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: All right? We're back up again, and uh he has

406
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: a chance to be active on game day these other

407
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: guys who probably don't. We're moving on to the seventh

408
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: round here, and we're gonna have a couple I think

409
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: we have a couple of picks here in the seventh again.

410
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: So according to this, our team needs quarterback, edge, wide receiver,

411
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: defensive line, safety, guard. M hm, okay, that's fine, a

412
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: little bit everything, a little bit of everything. Yeah, um,

413
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: any of those same names jumping out at you? You're

414
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: not really? Yeah, yeah, this is this is where it

415
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: gets interesting. The middle of February and we don't know

416
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: these guys. Chauncey Gholston is still there, that would be fine.

417
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking. There aren't many seventh

418
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: round that really, But have you seen any of Jalen

419
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Camp out of Georgia Tech, the wide receiver? No? I

420
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: haven't either, but he keeps popping up around this. Uh,

421
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: Sam Williams at in Mississippi the Edge. Uh, it's pretty

422
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: well picked over. Yeah, it seems like this this rankings

423
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: are pretty accurate. That Justin Hilliard out of Ohio state

424
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: still available, at least he would. Yeah. Again, I don't

425
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: know this crew very well. Yeah, I mean i'll know

426
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: these names better, but I don't know them particular. We

427
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: can take another corner too, I mean, you're you know,

428
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: I think you can if you're anything the long, you know,

429
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: developmental corner. I'm fine with that. Yeah. You know who's

430
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: still available? Trey Brown? Oh really, Yeah, let's do that.

431
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: Let's do that. Yeah, he's a good player. Now we've

432
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: had two guys who could potentially be your slot down

433
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: the road, or they can both play outside too. Yeah,

434
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: there's they're gonna help you in some way, shape or form. Yeah.

435
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: I like that pick. No, I like that pick. That's

436
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: good value. Okay, we're back on the clock here again.

437
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: And man, I'm sure it's pretty thin. Davis Mills available.

438
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: Davis Mills quarterback out of stand I thought he said

439
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: he was gone. That was the cornerback. Okay, well I'm

440
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: taking Davis Mills right. These are different Davis Mills. I

441
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: don't know, but yeah, he's the highly recruited pocket pass

442
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: or injuries, not real experience. Definitely taking a chance. Okay,

443
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: so we did it and we're done, and our picks

444
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: were nausea. Harris, he's kind of like picking up Haskins, like, yeah,

445
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: we've got nothing invested in the guy. There's pedigree there,

446
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: maybe hits, and you're thrilled with investment. Uh. So with

447
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: pick twenty four, we took Naja Harris. Pick fifty five

448
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: Liam Eichenberg, Pick eighty seven Quinn Miners out of Wisconsin,

449
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: Whitewater h Pick one Monty Rice out of Georgia, the

00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: one linebacker. Pick one, uh cornerback Dermmador Lenor out of Oregon.

451
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Pick two seventeen tight end Carrie Angelina out of North

452
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: Carolina State. I like that more and more. By the way,

453
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: Pick two forty four cornerback Trey Brown out of Oklahoma.

454
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: That's a value pick. Pick to fifty three, we took

455
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: quarterback Davis Mills at of Stanford. Might be real happy

456
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: about that. A year from now, I think you can

457
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: look at that. I think with the with the top

458
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: three or four, I think your top four guys you're like, Okay,

459
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: these are guys that can come in and potentially help now, yeah, right,

460
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: right when we're drafting for need and and then later

461
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: you get you're taking guys that are gonna help you

462
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: out to three years down the road. Peyton hangs it up.

463
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: Or boy, this quarterback looks good in the preseason and

464
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: next year maybe Rudolph isn't even the picture. Who knows.

465
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it might be your number two. I don't know.

466
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we're taking dart throws, but they're they're logical one. Yeah,

467
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: they're they're informed dart throws their positions where boys doesn't

468
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: have a super uphill climb to be helpful for you.

469
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: But again, this is this is making picks um without trading,

470
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: without trading, without the compic, it only gets bad her. Yeah,

471
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: you know our first three picks, did they add I

472
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: think they did add the comic in there because we

473
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: had two fourth rounders, but they did. Yeah, yeah, they

474
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: didn't give us there are late though, but that makes sense. Yeah,

475
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: but still you make a trade or two. And right, No,

476
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: I like what they did. This draft wasn't it's sexy

477
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: as the one we had on Wednesday. We ended up

478
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: with a lot of fun toys. Everything fell right in

479
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: our lap, and Ron del Moore was a bonus prize.

480
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: I think we had Washington's second round pick when it

481
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: was all said and done. Yeah, that might have been

482
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: a little unrealistic. That would have been as you know,

483
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: as good as it gets, and then not that this

484
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: one would be as bad as it gets, but it

485
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: wasn't who they got tons of crazy. Yeah, we didn't

486
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: add a defensive lineman. No, we didn't add an edge,

487
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: and right has been up front are still thin. Yeah,

488
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: but I don't know this year is a great year

489
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: to add a defensive lineman or even an edge necessarily.

490
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: And I don't love the situation for where they're going

491
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: to be in the market. For one, you're not gonna

492
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: take one in the second round, you know, right, That's

493
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, those those first three picks. I

494
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: don't want to say they have to be those three positions,

495
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: but if I were betting on it, I would bet

496
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: on those three positions, yeah, without question. And someone maybe

497
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: not a center. If they go out and sign some

498
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: mid level, which is a possibility, it would be nice

499
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: to get that out of the equation so that now

500
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: you can do that maybe that's now in the fourth

501
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: round you're looking at taking an edge, or maybe that

502
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: end up being more from the wide receiver from some

503
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: southern from Mississipi or whatever, or you know, then all

504
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden you can just take a best player available,

505
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: but from where it sits now. I mean, we've gone

506
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: through free agency and you know, right there would be

507
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: a lot of change between now. Actually, that's why we're

508
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: doing this so often here just and again we're learning

509
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: these names of oft you know, different jobs. People listening.

510
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the first time we've taken angeline, Yeah, exactly,

511
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: you know. Or people would say we'll take the best

512
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: center in the draft in the first round. That doesn't help,

513
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: you know. We could try those exercises and you'll see that,

514
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: you'll see why I like, Yeah, then you get shut

515
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: out on the running backs, you miss out on the tackles,

516
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: and it's just maybe that's something we should do once,

517
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: just once. We'll do that next week. Take the top,

518
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: just take your biggest need and yeah, or opposite, you know,

519
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: just take the highest guy on the board almost right

520
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: right right, and you'll have some studs, but you don't

521
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: have some holes too. Yeah, you got a bunch of holes.

522
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: But interesting, Yeah, that's why we we do these things.

523
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: And man, that was a different The rankings were a

524
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: little different on there. We took some guys. I was

525
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: worried the site was gonna let us down and make

526
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: it too easy on us, but it was. They were

527
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: solid when you look at the first round here though,

528
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: for what they did. Obviously, Trevor Lawrence was number one,

529
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson two, Pine so Well number three, Quitty Pay

530
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: went forth until Falcons. That's way high. Caleb Farley went

531
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: fifth to the Bengals, Davante Smith six to the Eagles,

532
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: Wattle to the Lions at seven, Justin Fields at eight

533
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: to Carolina um a large as a large Larry to

534
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos nine. Kyle Pitts to tend. You can see

535
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: edge guys get inflated to you know what I mean,

536
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: it's not so crazy. Jamaar Chase eleventh though, to the

537
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: Rashawn Slater went twelveth Alex Leatherwood went thirteen. That's that's

538
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: like Leatherwood to me, isn't even a run to the

539
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: podium at four let alone thirteen. Carlos Basham went to

540
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: fourteen to the Vikings trade Lance fifteenth to the Patriots. Guys,

541
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: they inflated a little bit, which isn't unrealistic. Elijah Vera

542
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: Tucker went sixteenth to the Cardinals. Christian Barrymore or Barmore,

543
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: I keep wenting calling Barrymore Barmore to the Raiders at seventeen,

544
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips at eighteen to the Dolphins. Jeremiah owosu Co

545
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: Coromoa went nineteens to the football team twenty was Patrick certain,

546
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: I don't see the corners falling that from CHRISTI and

547
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: darrisaw went twenty first to the Colts. That would make

548
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. That might end up happening. Michael

549
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: Parsons falls all the way to twenty two linebackers. I

550
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: mean you can kind of see it. Yeah, I bet

551
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: there's mixed feelings about him. Assante Samuel went twenty three

552
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: to the Jets. I need a corner, and then we

553
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: took Naga Harris at four. I mean, like that's that's

554
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: an unusual mock, but it's not the craziest thing you

555
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: ever heard. I mean, they never go to the way

556
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: that you read them time and time again, and I

557
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: do think Edges will go quicker than people think, so

558
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: might go Corners usually go quicker than you think. Is

559
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: those guys get pushed up just like you know, so

560
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: that I think quarterback offensive tackles corners and edge guys,

561
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: and that pushes safeties and running backs and draw guards

562
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: and centers. It's good for the Steelers. Unfortunately, there's a

563
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: lot of tackles to go around, you know. Yeah, but yeah,

564
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: so that's gonna do it for our show today. Uh So,

565
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: for my partner Matt Williamson, for Jacob here on site
