1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: And we are back. He is the Matt Williamson. I'm

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: Dale Lolly. This is our number two of the drive

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: here on Steelers Nation Radio. Typically over the last couple

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: of months, this has been when we did a mock draft.

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I say what we can do in a segment.

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: It's not quite fantasy season.

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: It's not quite fantasy season yet, but it is time

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: for the way too early twenty twenty five mock drafts

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: and Marcus Mosher has one on the thirty third team.

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and take a look at bug.

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: Up a few and I always do watch them the

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 3: Monday after the draft and Todd mcshaye I knew pretty well.

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: We got hired to get at the same time at ESPN,

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: and every year they made him do one of these

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: on Monday after working like crazy for all those months

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: as a draftnick, I mean it was his least favorite

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: assignment of the year because then people hold you to it, right,

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: what you thought this guy was the first round pick

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: a year ago. Like I watched fifteen minutes of his tape.

23
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: I mean, like if that, if that, I mean it

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: was the day after I've been going crazy for these

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: That being said, i'd love seeing the early list, and

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: I know none of these names. I won't comment on

27
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: any of them, really, but I do want to know,

28
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: are there a bunch of d ns? Is there a

29
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: bunch of quarterback you know? And who? On Saturday when

30
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: I'm casually watching, should I pay more attention to so?

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: At number one, he has the Patriots with the first

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: overall pick, taking James Pierce edge rusher out of Tennessee.

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: I've seen that name heavily at at all. Yeah. Yeah.

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: At two, the New York Giants take Shader Sanders, quarterback Colorado.

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I think there's a lot of debate who quarterback

36
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: one is at this point, but he's obviously somebody people know.

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: At three, the Carolina Panthers take Luther Burden wide receiver Missouri.

38
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: I don't have any I mean the first time I'm

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: hearing these names, to be honest with.

40
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: You, he had twelve hundred over twelve hundreds from scrimmage

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: last time from Missouri with nine touchdowns.

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: I'm curious how many receivers they have near the top

43
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: and things like that.

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: At four, Denver takes Nick s Gorton edge rusher.

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: From Purdue, Okay fun.

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: At five, Tennessee takes Travis Hunter, cornerback slash wide receiver Colorado.

47
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: He's going to be a cornerback in the NFL.

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: That's the guy. Everybody knows.

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: He's not going to be a wide receiver.

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: I've seen a little bit of him when Dion was

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: super hot and they were on a bunch. Yeah, I know,

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: he's very, very talented.

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: At six, Washington takes will Johnson cornerback Michigan.

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: I haven't asked Reman Wilson about him a little bit,

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: Like I knew that they had a corner that was

56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: real high and he's like, oh, yeah, we did a

57
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: lot of battles. He's a player, you know.

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: So At seven, the Raiders take Carson Beck, quarterback from Georgia.

59
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: Georgi. No one thinks this is a great quarterback class.

60
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: But Carson Beck could win the Heisman and they could

61
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: go undefeated, and then all of a sudden, he's the

62
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: first picked the draft, right, That's all. It was worse.

63
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: At eight, Arizona takes Harold Perkins edge rusher out of lsu.

64
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean, like Jayden Daniels was not considered the

65
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: second pick overall last year. Right, some of these quarterbacks

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: could have a season like that and boom.

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: At nine, the Chargers take Amiica Egbuka, wide receiver Ohio State.

68
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: He's been on list for two years. A lot of

69
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: people thought he'd come out this past year. I think

70
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: he was hurt a lot last year and obviously over

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: share shouting by Harrison. Yeah.

72
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: At ten, the New Orleans Saints take Kelvin Banks, junior

73
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: offensive tackle Texas.

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: And they had a tackle draft of this year, so

75
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: I assume he's the left.

76
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: At eleven, the Minnesota Vikings take j J t Two,

77
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Malaya edge rusher from Ohio State. He's the one that

78
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: ate he was for Shawn Who's lunch exactly the Ohio

79
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: State game last year.

80
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, a power player. He's been on list for a

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: while too.

82
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: Twelve, Seattle takes Mason Graham, interior defensive lineman from Michigan.

83
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: Another one off a great defense. He got talked about

84
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: because he was National champion type guy. Yeah. I'm not

85
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: saying he's good or bad. I have no idea.

86
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: At thirteen, Tampa Bay takes Jaylen Milroe, quarterback Alabama.

87
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: I know he's really athletic, but just watching Bama, I

88
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: didn't think he was a very good passer.

89
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: He needs to get much better there. He got better

90
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: as the season went on.

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: True.

92
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: At fourteen, the Colts take to Toria McMillan, wide receiver, Arizona.

93
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a couple receivers.

94
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. At fifteen, the Cleveland Browns take how about this one,

95
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: quinn Ewers quarterback Texas.

96
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: I guess they could be in the draft of quarterback situation,

97
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: the cheap way to go if Watson doesn't work out. Wow,

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: would that be interesting?

99
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: Your first your first first round draft pick, after trading

100
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: away three first round draft picks to get a quarterback,

101
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: and you take a couquarterback.

102
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 3: It's Brown's history shows that's kind of way things have gone.

103
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 3: So yours was like the recruit in the world. Yeah,

104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: goes Ohio State, can't win the job there, loses out

105
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: to Stroud, goes to Texas. But I watched a lot

106
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: of their pass catchers this year at Texas State, four

107
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: of them that got drafted. I wasn't all that impressed

108
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: with the quarterback.

109
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. At sixteen, the Jaguars take Will Campbell, offensive tackle LSU. Yeah.

110
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: I knew that they had a really good line. I mean,

111
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels was awesome, were awesome, but I knew there

112
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: were linemen coming up.

113
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: At seventeen, the Bears take Benjamin Morrison, cornerback Notre Dame.

114
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: And that's a guy that I noticed him last year

115
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: watching a couple of Notre Dame games because I was

116
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: watching the other cornerback and I'm like, that guy's pretty good.

117
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: Cam Art's fine, but I'll take that guy.

118
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy's better. At eighteen, the Falcons take Dione Walker,

119
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: defensive lineman from Kentucky. I don't know, three hundred and

120
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: forty eight pounds, oh wow, lineman who had seven and

121
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: a half sacks last year. Okay, so I would say,

122
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: like Montes Sweat was on. I mean, the huge guys

123
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: are easy to notice. You know, Jordan Davis was on

124
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: these lists a year before he got drafted. Sweat, but

125
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: I'm not sure they had seven and a half sacks.

126
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: At nineteen, it's where he has the Pittsburgh Steelers taking

127
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: picking and he has him taking Drew Aller, quarterback from

128
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: Penn State.

129
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: They might need a quarterback. Who knows. I have not

130
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: You would think I would watch a lot of Penn State.

131
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: I have not paid any attention to this kid. I

132
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: don't know anything about him.

133
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen him plays.

134
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I know the name, but yeah, I don't

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: know if he's an athlete, is he a big arm guy?

136
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: I don't know much about him.

137
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: At twenty the Ravens take Xavier Wats safety from Notre Dame.

138
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: They pay attention to Notre Dame secondary. Huh.

139
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: Yeah. Twenty one, the Rams take Jack Sawyer edge rusher

140
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: from Ohio State.

141
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Him and the other one had been on lists

142
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: for a long time. Physical guys.

143
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: At twenty two, the Dolphins take dual carter linebacker Slash

144
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: Edge from Penn Eight.

145
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 3: Don't know Ben Sae's got guizo.

146
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: Twenty three, the Houston Texans take Denzel Burke, cornerback Ohio State.

147
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: He's another one's been on the list. I think he

148
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: started as a freshman, five star type guy. I guess

149
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: it's his turn.

150
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. At twenty four, the Cowboys take Isaiah Bond wide

151
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: receiver Texas.

152
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: So he would have been the third or fourth guy. Yeah,

153
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: unless he just transferred there or something for two speed

154
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: for him. Yeah, speed wasn't a problem with the receiver

155
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: Texas receivers.

156
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: Twenty five, the Jets take Malachi Stark's safety from Georgia.

157
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: It's two safeties.

158
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: I think the Jets would be picking quite that low.

159
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know how they've came up with the

160
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: draft order.

161
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: But at twenty six, the Green Bay Packers take to

162
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: carry O Davis cornerback Arizona.

163
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: Did Arizona have a receiver too?

164
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: Yes?

165
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: Okay?

166
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: Well at twenty seven, the Bengals, picking all the way

167
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: down at twenty seven, take Evan Stewart wide receiver Oregon.

168
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: Okay, starting to get into wide receiver land.

169
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: He would have been the number four receiver at Oregon last.

170
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: I say, Oregon's loaded there.

171
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. At twenty eight, the Eagles take Jonah savanayah offensive

172
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: tackle from Arizona.

173
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: Wow. Three year moregan last year too? Okay? Look for

174
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: the Wildcats is that they are? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah.

175
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: At twenty nine, the Detroit Lions take Ashton Gillott, edge

176
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: rusher from Louisville.

177
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: Okay, a couple edge rushers at like Kentucky and Louisville

178
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 3: and Tennessee and you.

179
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: Know that at thirty the Buffalo Bills. I don't know

180
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: that the Bills be picking this?

181
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, who is what?

182
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: You take Olie Gordon running back from Oklahoma State?

183
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe he's the standout back this year. Putting him

184
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: back in the first round you better be pretty good.

185
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. At thirty one, the Kansas City Chiefs take Howard Cross,

186
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: defensive tackle Notre Dame.

187
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: Okay, Notre Dame's d's pretty decent. Yeah.

188
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: And finally at thirty two of the San Francisco forty

189
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: nine Ers take Colston Loveland tight end Michigan M.

190
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: So, they had a tight end drafted, and I wonder

191
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 3: if love One played ahead of them or if they

192
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: played a lot of double tights. I'm sure he's a

193
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

194
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: They played a double tights.

195
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, played a lot of double tights. But I would

196
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: bet he's the better receiver. Two.

197
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean, yeah, they didn't go by what

198
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: the Marcus Mosher didn't go by what the projections were

199
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: for wind totals, because if you look at those mock

200
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: drafts heading into this, the Steelers are picking like twelve

201
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: based off of win projection, which is crazy. Like their

202
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 2: win projections like seven point nine. Does anybody think that

203
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: they're not going to win at least nine games? Again?

204
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they definitely have a tough schedule, but still,

205
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: you know they're going to compete in the division. And yeah,

206
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: we'll schedule release. I guess our next big thing.

207
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be next week sometime soon.

208
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, the NFL is so great.

209
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll have all that coming at you. But

210
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: he is a Steelers picking nineteenth, which would mean their

211
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: playoff team again.

212
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: And I think they were or the Browns were picking

213
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: ahead of them. Yes, the Ravens and Bengels were laid

214
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: behind them. Okay, I mean I probably would do the

215
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: same thing if I was building a mock draft situation. Yeah,

216
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: and if I was doing one for this project, I

217
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: really wouldn't care about team needs and things as much.

218
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: It's want the name the right thirty two to be

219
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: on there.

220
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

221
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: I won't look too much into that they have been

222
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: taken a quarterback maybe who knows?

223
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, we'll see. Anyways, that's the Marcus Mosher from

224
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: the thirty third team, way too early twenty five draft.

225
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to another break. He is Matt Williams,

226
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: and I'm Dale Lolly. You're listening to the Drive here

227
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: on Steelers Nation Radio.

228
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

229
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

230
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio, and.

231
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: We are back. He is the Matt Williamson. I am

232
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: Dale Lelly. You're listening to the Drive here on Steelers

233
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: Nation Radio. And well, what's way too early to do

234
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: a mock draft at this point, it's not too early

235
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: to do NFL power rankings. J's up push down coming

236
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: out of the draft. This from NFL dot Com and

237
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: Eric Edholm. All right, so let's see who he feels

238
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: helped themselves the most in the drafts will hurt themselves

239
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: for that matter.

240
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: And projects to this year.

241
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, at thirty two, the Carolina Panthers.

242
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 3: I still think so yeah. I mean like they've done

243
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: a lot to at least see if Bryce Young can

244
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: sink or swim. But in the meantime, you lost Louvu

245
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: and Brian Barns and the defense wasn't great to begin with.

246
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: And that's not an organization I have a lot of

247
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: trust in either. To be very honest with you, I

248
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: think Carolina thirty two is probably my vote. Yeah, I'm

249
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: not sure if they have a quarterback or not. In

250
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 3: New England to me is a team that could be

251
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: really rough, but at least they have a defense and

252
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: they smart enough to you know, address a lot of

253
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: offensive needs. Whether that pays off or not. Is in

254
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: the rookie years is extreme. Carolina is in a bad spot.

255
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so as well. Yeah at thirty one

256
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: down a spot, was it New England New England.

257
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some bad teams in the AFC, but I

258
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: think Denver and Oakley or Vegas are both really bad.

259
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: But I think New England pretty clearly the worst, really

260
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: really bad. Yeah, Denver's pretty bad too.

261
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: At thirty down a spot is Tennessee.

262
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: I might put them ahead of Denver or the Raid. Well,

263
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: I don't know is good. I mean, I think we'll

264
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: figure that out this year.

265
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: Idleen, they took Tovandre Sweat in the second round.

266
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: I know, I don't like their draft very much, especially

267
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: that pick. I don't get thirty eighth.

268
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: They used a thirty eighth pick on Devandre Sweat, who

269
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: is a is on his best day as a two

270
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: down player. Yeah, then he is the d wires like.

271
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: A lot of partying and stuff.

272
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, did they learn nothing from Isaiah Wilson.

273
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: I know, I don't understand it. I mean it's different

274
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: people in charge.

275
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, whatever up to spots At twenty nine is Washington.

276
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 3: I think they'll be more competitive than that. I mean

277
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: they at least like overhauled their roster, huge draft class,

278
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: tons of free agents. I mean not a lot of

279
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 3: huge name guys, but they're starting building something.

280
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, new coach uh At twenty eight the Denver Broncos.

281
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'd be really low for me. I don't think

282
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: their defense is as good as people seem to think

283
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 3: it is. I think their a line has holes, not

284
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: really a wealth of weapons, not a good quarterback situation.

285
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: Maybe Nicks develops, but I would you would think he's

286
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: the opening they start or anything. I would think so, yeah,

287
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: which is great, doesn't well right? Right?

288
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: At twenty seven the New York Giants, if.

289
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: Jones is okay, I think will be better than that.

290
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: That's a big if. But at least they have a

291
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: line for him. I think getting neighbors is helpful. They

292
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: were a little more aggressive in the secondary, and I

293
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 3: thought mentioned Brian Burns earlier. Him and Thibodeau and Lawrence.

294
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good front. Yeah, it's okay, but if

295
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks thinks they're not gonna much high in that right.

296
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: Twenty six holding Steady the Arizona Cardinals. They had twelve draft.

297
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: Picks, yeah them in Washington, Yeah, a lot, and they

298
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: needed them. I mean that's a good approach. That might

299
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: be a little rich on Arizona too. I mean the team,

300
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: the teams that they're over aren't great, don't get me wrong. Yeah,

301
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: and they played hard last year. Marvin Harrison's I think

302
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: he's I was looking at defense and Darius Robinson like, yeah,

303
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: two good players.

304
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: They did they m Max Melton, So, I mean they

305
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: helped themselves.

306
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: I mean Harrison could win Rookie of the Year.

307
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Added Trey Benson to the I mean I like

308
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: that they did some good stuff. At twenty five holding

309
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: steady the Saints.

310
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: Wow, they're almost always the sixteenth, the eighteen them start

311
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 3: looking at them in the night of being a bottom feeders.

312
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: Alicia fi Waga, kool Aid McKinstry, Okay, yeah, they're kind

313
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: of win now. Yeah. Twenty four holding steady the Seattle Seahawks.

314
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: M seems harsh but everybody looks good this time of year,

315
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: and I bet the team's right above him aren't noticeably

316
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: better at.

317
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 2: Twenty three down a spot, thres.

318
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: They'd be way lower for me. I mean the receivers

319
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: are great, I mean include Bowers. I guess Minshew's a

320
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 3: serviceable quarterback where he might be better than Knicks now. And

321
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, I just don't like their big picture

322
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: quarterback situation. And maybe I'm being harsh on them. I

323
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: mean when you I don't think their first overall.

324
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: Potential, No, I don't think they are either. Yeah, at

325
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: twenty two down a spot, the Colts.

326
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: I guess that's the neighborhood. I mean, I'd be enthusiastic

327
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: if I was a Colts fan right now.

328
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: Which at this point you still don't know what Anthony

329
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: Richards says, and that's what it all. And if he's

330
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: if he has hurt again, it's Joe Flacco, yeah, and

331
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: you can't he couldn't be any different.

332
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: I don't understand that. I don't approve of that move

333
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: honestly as a backup, and that's why knocked on Joe.

334
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: He's just no different than it's two different.

335
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: At twenty one down a spot the Jets.

336
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: They'd be higher to me, but they're the most volatile

337
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: team in the league. Yeah, they can.

338
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: Blow up on them. It could work out.

339
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: Who knows their best day, they could beat the Chiefs. Yeah,

340
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: but if things go wrong, they're gonna go real wrong.

341
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: At twenty down six spots the Atlanta Falcons.

342
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: Well, I guess they got the least help of these

343
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: teams from the draft. Yeah, the roster wasn't bad though

344
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: before the draft.

345
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. At nineteen down a spot is Tampa Bay.

346
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: Like Atlanta's still the best team in that division, I

347
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: think so.

348
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I know the Bucks won it, but Cousins

349
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: throwing the London and Pitts and Jean with the good line.

350
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: I mean there's four points.

351
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: At eighteen up five spots Minnesota.

352
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm better JJ McCarthy or Donald until

353
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: McCarthy's ready yuck. Yeah, I think there's a lot of

354
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 3: a lot of losses on.

355
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: That get the Jets ahead of them.

356
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think i'd have the two AC or

357
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: NFC South teams ahead of them too.

358
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: It's seventeen holding steady the Rams.

359
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good team. I mean, got some defensive help. Yeah,

360
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: Stafford's still good.

361
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: It's sixteen up three spots. The Bears, Oh, I can't

362
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: put them that high, right, A quarterback that's never played

363
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: a down in the NFL. I like a Don Day,

364
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: but then they didn't have any other picks.

365
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean still a rookie quarterback. Yeah, I mean,

366
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: whether he's he's not gonna be as good a Stroud

367
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: was last year. No, you know what I mean, it's

368
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 3: not gonna be record breaking. Probably the d played a

369
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 3: lot better on stretch. But I don't think they're a contender.

370
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: No. People are talking about them as a playoff team

371
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: and they're their third best team in their division.

372
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: We haven't mentioned the Chargers yet.

373
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: A teen up a spot as the Chargers, Oh good,

374
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: I mean they could.

375
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 3: I don't think they're a contender at all. I don't

376
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: think they're They're closer to five wins than nine.

377
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 2: I will say this, Lad McConkie might be offensive rookie

378
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: of the year.

379
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: He could be on my fantasy team.

380
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's all.

381
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

382
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: Add fourteen up a spot Jacksonville.

383
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 3: Fine, Jacksonville. With the Colts, they both would be behind

384
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 3: Houston and ahead of Tennessee to me in that division,

385
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: I think I.

386
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: Can say Jacksonville I can't trust. I can't trust Anthony

387
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: Richardson yet, I just can't. Yeah, you get to finish

388
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: games for me.

389
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they definitely have a quarterback advantage. Yeah,

390
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 3: I mean today and probably forever. Lawrence is really good. Okay,

391
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if i'd have him that far apart though.

392
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 2: At thirteen holding steady the Steelers.

393
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 3: They got to have him head every team mentioned. Okay,

394
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: So okay, I'm not gonna fight him on that.

395
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: I think we both have them ahead of this next

396
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: team though. At twelve he is the Browns.

397
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 3: Say, I bet the Browns are right next to them,

398
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 3: and I could see that if I'm doing this as

399
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: unbiased as a national person, I would have questions about

400
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: both quarterback situations.

401
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you get down there, which team is

402
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 2: which one do I try? Which which franchise do I

403
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: trust more?

404
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: It's not close, Yeah, it's not close.

405
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: And which one had the better draft, which is the

406
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: purpose of this.

407
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: I'd say the better off season period. Yeah.

408
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: At eleven the Dolphins, I'm glad they're not like five.

409
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I.

410
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: Think Cleveland Pittsburgh might both be better than they might.

411
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: Be too, especially come November December. Yeah, I heard a

412
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: good conversation about this because there's such a speed driven

413
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: team and that's cool. I mean, like that's the modern

414
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: day NFL basketball and grass, you know. And it's definitely

415
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 3: an advantage playing in Miami. But I'm sure this has

416
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: been a gm problem for the Dolphins. Their whole existence

417
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: is Okay, our weather and our geography, it's a massive advantage.

418
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: But our division is a total open yea.

419
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: Our division. We played any AFC East and we're against

420
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: the Jets and the Patriots and Bills, right right.

421
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's not like the NFC South or they're

422
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 3: all in the same area of the country. Like you

423
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: hate to go to Miami week one, week two, but

424
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 3: they hate to go to Buffalo and New York and

425
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: England for most of the year.

426
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: Right at ten holding Steady or the Cowboys.

427
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 3: I guess Dallas has a little bit of that too.

428
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: You never think of that because but they're not like

429
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 3: the rest of their division. I mean, there hasn't been

430
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 3: kind to Dallas. No, it is not the designs ke Elliott.

431
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: Today's gonna be their starter.

432
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: Yuck. Wow, anything of that, he might be their starter.

433
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 2: At nine? Are the Bengals holding spine with that? At eight?

434
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: Are the Packers holding steady?

435
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: Okay?

436
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: I mean Jordan Morgan in the first round doesn't have anything.

437
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 3: Least their first round picks. Yeah, and growth isn't linear.

438
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 3: We're not all the young guys aren't all going to

439
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 3: take a step forward. But you would think that better

440
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 3: days are ahead than what's behind them.

441
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: At seven, down two spots the Buffalo Bills.

442
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: I don't know who we mentioned I'd put ahead of them,

443
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: but I don't. I see Josh Allen and a bunch

444
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: of questions.

445
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: They're getting ripped because they traded with the chiefs. The chiefs,

446
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: how could they give him the them Exavier Worthy?

447
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, they didn't Worthy problem.

448
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: They probably they didn't want Worthy. And b when Kansas

449
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: City gets on the phone with you about this, you're

450
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: not they're not telling you who they want to who

451
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: they're going to pick, right you just you just say, hey,

452
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 2: we're going to get extra picks.

453
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: Out of this.

454
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: And they maybe they maybe they like Keon Coleman better.

455
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: They looked at it like Keon Coleman. Legette Pearce all

456
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: Worthy and maybe even another Maconkey. Yeah, might all be

457
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: the same to them, Like why not move back and

458
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: get any of the above because they all went like

459
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 3: right there, right, So what's different? Yeah?

460
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: At six up a spot, Houston may would be.

461
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: The highest one we talked about yet. I mean I

462
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: could definitely take see last year being seven steps forward

463
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 3: and this year they take two steps back. Yeah, but

464
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 3: I think they're better than Buffalo right now.

465
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: I do think they're the best team in that division. Yeah, yeah,

466
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 2: and yeah they get some built in wins in that division.

467
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 3: Throws stuff on digs on that team, and yeah, they're

468
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 3: pretty good. It looks like tank that was going to

469
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: be okay about Yeah, I mean that could have been brutal.

470
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 3: Luckily that worked out.

471
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: At five up a spot. The Eagles, Let's not.

472
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: Forget how awful they were for ten games in a

473
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 3: row though. Yeah, I mean I know that there's some

474
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: changes on both coordinators and look the attitude corners and

475
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: that's great. They were horrendous though.

476
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 2: They've lost some stuff too.

477
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've lost some stuff. I mean, is the O

478
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: line still going to be the best in the league,

479
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 3: and you know D line doesn't have Fletcher Cox and

480
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 3: Grain and some of.

481
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: Those, some of their leaders that were there long time.

482
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: It's the taste in the mouth. I mean, the last

483
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: two months of season in playoff game was really bad,

484
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: ugly really bad.

485
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: At four, holding Steady or the Lions, I'm on board,

486
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: they're real. At three holding Steady.

487
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 3: Are the Ravens not as good as when we saw

488
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: them on the field last They.

489
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: Still haven't fixed some of their offensive line problems.

490
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 3: Right.

491
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: They drafted two offensive linemen and one was a sixth

492
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: round center or seventh round center.

493
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's not gonna play.

494
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: The other one's a finesse right tackle in the second round.

495
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, it's a lot of faith in Stanley

496
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: and it might be starting could be.

497
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: If Rosengarten and Fallele couldn't be any different.

498
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 3: Couldn't be any different. I thought they were the best

499
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: team in the league when the regular season ended, so

500
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't thing them too far. But they're not as good

501
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: as when we saw them last, No.

502
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: I agree. At two, are the forty nine ers holding

503
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: Steady A top two a pretty soon? And then the

504
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: Chiefs at number one?

505
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: I like the Chiefs draft Worthy does a lot for them. Yeah,

506
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: you know'll catch eighty balls, but he'll do a lot

507
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 3: for him open up room for others.

508
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah right, so yeah, we'll see.

509
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 3: But that is the superow team should be the top

510
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 3: two though.

511
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: That was Eric at Hoolmes NFL Power Rankings.

512
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: Uh. Post draft, if by chance Iuk or Debo got traded,

513
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk about Steelers. Would you ding the Niners much?

514
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: What they get back?

515
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they get picks, Yeah, it would wouldn't help them, No, it.

516
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: Won't that situation now absolutely, let's get to a break.

517
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lolly. You're listening to

518
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We'll be back

519
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 2: to finish up the show right after this.

520
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: At least Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

521
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

522
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

523
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly. He is the Matt

524
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: Williamson and Matt Mike Clay has put together for ESPN

525
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: his projections.

526
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he sent that to me. I have not yet

527
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: dug in, but it's pretty extensive.

528
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, he projected for each team in the

529
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: league what they're kind of, what their stat totals would

530
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: be and some of that stuff, and some of the

531
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: stuff I would go fish on.

532
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 3: To be quite honest, really I haven't looked at it.

533
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: You say about all the Steeler stuff he put up.

534
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so this includes the rookies who they just

535
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: picked up.

536
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 3: So I will tell you even though I haven't looked

537
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: at it. Projections are weird because like he's probably looking

538
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: at it no matter who it is, Mahomes, he probably

539
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: won't project them play seventeen games because people get, you know,

540
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 3: like it gets weird and and sometimes like all receiver

541
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: numbers don't equal the quarterback passing, yeah's you know. So

542
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: it's he kind of accounts for injuries, which could be difficult,

543
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: really difficult.

544
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: So his projection on Russell Wilson's to play thirteen games,

545
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 2: throw for twenty nine hundred yards, fifteen touchdown, passes nine interceptions,

546
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: and take thirty seven sacks, also rush for two touchdowns,

547
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 2: and he does this from a fantasy perspective, so he

548
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: gives you the fantasy points as well. And so justin

549
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: fields plays in four games, throws five touchdowns, three interceptions,

550
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: eight hundred and thirty five yards, and rushes for two

551
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty three yards with a touchdown. So overall

552
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: that would be twenty touchdown passes, twelve interceptions, and thirty

553
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: seven hundred passing yards for the two Steeler quarterbacks.

554
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. Say, the thing that stood out to me is

555
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: low passing touchdowns. Yeah, I mean history is shown with

556
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: not Steeler quarterbacks, but those quarterbacks, especially Wilson, they put

557
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 3: the ball in the paint more than that.

558
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the crazy thing to your point about this,

559
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 2: So those touchdowns add up to twenty and the interceptions

560
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: add up to twelve. And he has for the Steelers

561
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: quarterback total nineteen touchdowns and thirteen interceptions.

562
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay, it's real strange, but at least at least

563
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 3: add up to you know, Yeah, you would think the

564
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: quarterback touchdowns should all add out. It's not like it's

565
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 3: one more like Allen happened to sneak in there.

566
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: Three one right, that's less, it's one less. Yeah, I

567
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: would bet that.

568
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're gonna run the ball a lot.

569
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think their passing numbers are going

570
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: to be top down.

571
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: So that being said, he has Najee Harris rushing for

572
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: eight hundred and ninety yards and six touchdowns, Jalen Warren

573
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 2: rushing for five ninety seven and three touchdowns, and the

574
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: Steelers running backs overall running for sixteen hundred and sixty

575
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: four yards with ten touchdowns.

576
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: I think I go over.

577
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: I would go way over that.

578
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 3: It's a pretty safe one. I'd go way over. I mean,

579
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: even if one of those two got hurt. Let's the

580
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: running back room in general. And I guess he didn't

581
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 3: equate for fields and Wilson rushing because it's gonna be

582
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: several hundred yards.

583
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 2: He has another four hundred and ninety yards rushing out

584
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: of the quarterback positions, put him over two thousand rushing

585
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: yards for the season. But you're getting sixty more than

586
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: sixteen hundred yards out of those two backs.

587
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 3: I think so too.

588
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Naji's run for one thousand yards in each

589
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 2: one of his first three seasons in the league. Why

590
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: wouldn't he do it again?

591
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: One hundred per game? Just under for that pair? Isn't

592
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: that much to ask?

593
00:27:59,000 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: No?

594
00:27:59,200 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: You know, right?

595
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: Not for George Pickens one hundred and thirteen targets, sixty

596
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: eight catches, one thousand and forty yards, four touchdown catches.

597
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: Oh, we're on the touchdown catches again, but I guess

598
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: that correlates how many yards again?

599
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: One thousand and forty, so barely getting to a thousand.

600
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: I'll go fish on that.

601
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll go on the over on that too.

602
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, on one hundred and thirteen targets right like, Yeah.

603
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: They're gonna be downfield too. Yeah, his average, his A

604
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: dot's going to be high.

605
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: Van Jefferson with fifty one targets is number two. Fifty

606
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: one targets, twenty eight catches, four hundred and three yards,

607
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 2: two touchdown catches.

608
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 3: I would not want to write up the wide receiver

609
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 3: room right now. I'm not sure Van Jefferson would is

610
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: going to be number two when it's all said and done.

611
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: I definitely don't think he will be. I might say

612
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: another group now, he wouldn't be my choice to be

613
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: number two, but he's gonna catch under fifty two balls

614
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: of it.

615
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 2: Roman Wilson forty six targets, twenty eight catches, three hundred

616
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: and sixty six yards, two touchdowns.

617
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: Wouldn't be terrible. I still go over.

618
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: I'd go over that, yeah, twenty eight ketches a lot.

619
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

620
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: Calvin Austin thirty targets, eighteen catches, two hundred and thirty

621
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: seven yards, one touchdown.

622
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: I worry about Austin. I think he might have a

623
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: tough time seeing the field. I mean, Quez, Watkins and

624
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: Wilson are a little redundant with him.

625
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: The aforementioned Quez Watkins ten targets, six catches, seventy six.

626
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: Yards, Okay, I mean I think he's a three slash four.

627
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: And then Marquez Callaway he has also on here five targets,

628
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: three catches, thirty four yards. Overall for the wide receivers,

629
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty one combined catches for twenty one

630
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty six yards, ten touchdowns. I'd go fish

631
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: on that.

632
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. Again, I think passing touchdowns in general, which correlates obviously,

633
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: would be a little low.

634
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: Here for the tight ends Pat Fryarmouth eighty two targets,

635
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: fifty seven catches for five hundred and ninety yards and

636
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: four touchdowns. I'll go over that.

637
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: I'll go over I mean health is going to be

638
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: part of the concern, obviously.

639
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: But that's if that's him playing fifteen games.

640
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: I say, if I project him for fourteen to fifteen games,

641
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 3: I think per game he's gonna do more than that.

642
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: Connor Hayward pretty targets, twenty one catches, two hundred and

643
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: six yards and one touchdown. That's fair, that's fair.

644
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, how much I mean I was gonna play twenty

645
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: snaps a.

646
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: Game Darnell Washington twenty targets, fourteen catches, one hundred and

647
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: forty three yards in the touchdown.

648
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 3: Targets, I mean probably about that as a rookie. Yeah.

649
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: On the defensive side of things, the defense, Oh yeah,

650
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty snaps for Cam Hayward, which I

651
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: think you'd take.

652
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: Oh, it'd be good. Yeah, Yeah, sixty five play seventeen games.

653
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 3: That's good.

654
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: Sixty five tackles, two point nine sacks.

655
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: I'll go over on the sacks though, because I mean

656
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 3: a lot of those snaps would be on third downs. Yeah.

657
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: Larryogan Jobi seven hundred and twenty eight snaps, forty eight

658
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: tackles and three sacks. I don't know that he gets

659
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: that because he only has Keanu Benton with four hundred

660
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: and fifty snaps.

661
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think of the true d lineman, Benton will

662
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: have the most snaps, maybe even more than Cam.

663
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: That is, thirty five tackles, one point nine sacks. Then

664
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: you've got Montrevius Adam at four hundred and seven with

665
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: twenty nine tackles and one.

666
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: Point eight that's fine.

667
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: Dean Lowry with one hundred and sixty one snaps plays

668
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: more than that, twelve tackles and half a sack, and

669
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: Isaiah Laudermilk thirty two snaps, two tackles and point one.

670
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: Do you agree the Lowry should be on the field

671
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: more than that through the course of the year.

672
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: I would think so yeah. I would think so yeah,

673
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: And I would I think Benton surpasses Ogun Jobi this year.

674
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. In the snap count, I think you want to

675
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 3: keep cams down. That's why I said Benton might be one,

676
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: but he's hard to get off the field too.

677
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: On the edge, Alex Highsmith plays eight hundred and fifty

678
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: seven snaps, finishes with fifty seven tackles, eight point six sacks,

679
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: and point two interceptions.

680
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: He's usually a thousand snap guy, but anyone can get hurt.

681
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: How many sacks eight point six it's fair.

682
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Watt eight hundred and thirty five snaps, sixty three tackles,

683
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: twelve point seven sacks in point three.

684
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure if we looked at Searsons or Bosa Garrett,

685
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: they wouldn't be at eighteen sacks projection, I mean, because

686
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 3: it's everyone go under, but one of them is gonna

687
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: get there, or all of them are going to get there.

688
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: Nick Herbig four hundred and twenty eight snaps might be

689
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: a nice boost. Thirty two tackles, four point one sacks.

690
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 3: Cool, that's a good second here. Yeah. Yeah.

691
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: And then Jeremiah Moon fifty four snaps, four tackles and

692
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: half a se.

693
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 3: We never bring him up, but he could make the team.

694
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah at the linebacker position. Patrick queen Oney

695
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 2: seventeen snaps, that's a plan. One hundred and twenty seven tackles,

696
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 2: two point nine sacks, one point one interceptions.

697
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that probably is boost his stats up

698
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: a little from there, but okay.

699
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: Uh, Cole Holcomb six hundred and forty three snaps, judge, Yeah,

700
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: ninety tackles, one point four sacks, point six interceptions.

701
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: I think the productions right if he's out there that much.

702
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it Landon Roberts two hundred and sixty eight snaps,

703
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: I bet more. Uh, forty three tackles, half a sack,

704
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: ando point three interceptions.

705
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: I just think you all those will be probably a

706
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 3: little higher.

707
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: Peyton Wilson sixty four snaps, way higher. Yeah, nine tackles

708
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: and point one sacks and interceptions.

709
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: He might be the second highest snap.

710
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: It might be on the cornerback position. Uh. Joey Porter

711
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: Junior Oney seventeen snaps, So that looks like that's what

712
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: he's projecting then for the for the team season. Yeah yeah,

713
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: Uh sixty four tackles, no sacks, two point two interceptions.

714
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: I mean stats for him are are gonna be minimal? Yeah?

715
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: Uh. Dante Jackson nine hundred and ten snaps, sixty six tackles,

716
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: one point one interceptions. Josiah Scott, that's.

717
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 3: You do four hundred and eighty two talked about him today,

718
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: We have not Yeah, that's a sneaky guy, sneaky sneaky

719
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 3: spot corner or slot corner there, Josiah Scott four hundred

720
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: and eighty two snaps, thirty six tackles, one point two interceptions.

721
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 3: I mean, stealing your words here, but he's probably the

722
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 3: slot corner.

723
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: He's the leader in the club US as we speak.

724
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

725
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: Darius Rush two hundred and fourteen snaps, seventeen tackles and

726
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 2: a half a interception. And then Ryan wats one hundred

727
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 2: and sixty one snaps in point three or twelve tackles

728
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: and point three interceptions. You notice Corey Trice not mentioned

729
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: on there, despite Steeler fans being very excited about Corey

730
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 2: Trush and saying Darius Rush is kind of a throwaway.

731
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 2: Darius Rush is the better player, is the better prospect

732
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: a year ago.

733
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: There's no question about that. Hey, I'm hoping for Trice.

734
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 3: I mean people think that he's he'll be a starter.

735
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Darius Rush is the better prospect.

736
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree.

737
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 2: And at the safety position, Mega Fitzpatrick nine hundred and

738
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 2: sixty four snaps, one hundred and eleven tackles, point eight sacks,

739
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 2: one point nine interceptions. I'll go fish on that all

740
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 2: day long.

741
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: That he gets a couple yeah hip passes.

742
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, to Shaun Elliott eight hundred and fifty

743
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: seven snaps, eighty three tackles and two point one interceptions.

744
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: So they have him take more interceptions from him than

745
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: make a fitspatcher.

746
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 3: That's playing like eighty percent of snap Yeah, that'd be

747
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 3: very that'd be a good year.

748
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: Demonte Kyz for twenty eight thirty five tackles and point

749
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 2: seven interceptions and then Trenton Thompson fifty four snaps, five

750
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: tackles point two.

751
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure if he's on the team, but yeah.

752
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 2: His projected win total Fortler's seven point nine.

753
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 3: It seems low in seventeen game season, but it is

754
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 3: a tough schedule. It's right under eight. If he said

755
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 3: eight point one, it sounds a lot better than seven

756
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: point nine. But I'll take the over on that.

757
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 2: I'll take the over on that as will. Yeah, so

758
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: we'll see. But that is the fantasy projections coming out

759
00:35:59,160 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 2: of the draft.

760
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 3: I would hate doing projections, yeah, because you got to

761
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 3: go on a low end. You just do so math

762
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: oriented and everyone's going to kill you because the numbers

763
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 3: are always going to be low. Yeah, because someone's only

764
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 3: going to play two games, and you know what I mean.

765
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know that's absolutely anyways, let's that's going

766
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 2: to do it for our show today. So for my

767
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:21,640
