1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: And now the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, d J, Bucky here? Move the sticks? 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: As we inch closer to the two thousand nineteen NFL Draft, Buck, 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: what's going on? Man? Not too much? Man? Getting closer? 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: You're talking about a couple of weekends away from uh, 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: finally seeing what's going to happen uh with this draft. 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: And I think it's just really really interesting too closer 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 1: that we get that, I have to kind of just 9 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: turn off the phone. I do. I can't call my guys. 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm not getting on a bunch of bad information and 11 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look silly. So I make phone calls, but 12 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: I know not to take it, uh seriously, because they're 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: just trying to float below. It's it's unfortunately that time 14 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: of year, that time of year, we've got a ton 15 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: of ground of cover. They're gonna talk a little bit 16 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: about Josh Rosen, who reporting to the offseason program for 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Ian reports that he was first one 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: in the building. Uh what does that mean? Going forward? 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: Look into that, we're gonna look at the first round 20 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks from last year, look at those teams. Brown's Jets, Bills, Cardinals, 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: Ravens and what they could potentially do to help those 22 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: guys are helped build up that team. Uh, this year, 23 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: and we're gonna look at, uh, maybe a free agent 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: running back we could find that we think could be 25 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: this year's Philip Lindsay as well as an interview with 26 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: one of one of my favorite players in the draft. 27 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: I know you enjoyed watching him as well. Jonathan Abram 28 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: there from Mississippi State Buck. Yeah, Jonathan Abram Champaign and 29 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: he a little salty into makeup room. Did they challenge? 30 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: He's challenging everybody really love things to say. He he 31 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: wanted to know about um who was more important rushers 32 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 1: or cover guys? Then I told him rushers, you didn't 33 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: like that. Believe in today's game. Cover guys, let's say 34 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: that's great, but no, we don't like you have to 35 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: be able to get to the quarterback and and those things. 36 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: And then, uh, what does he say? He's a he's 37 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: fun man. Yeah, he's a lot of energy. Uh Man. 38 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: You can tell he is a hitting dude because when 39 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: you see him up close and personal, he is a 40 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: thick dude, neck, thick everything, and so uh just interested 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: in the conversation and one of one of the fun 42 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: players of study in this year's draft, so I got 43 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: a chance to visit with him. Will roll that interview 44 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: a little bit later on the show before we get 45 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: to the stuff that I just mentioned, though, Buck, I 46 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: do want to bounce, uh, this thought off of you 47 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: because I think this whole draft kind of hinges on 48 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: a what happens with Josh Rosen um And then you know, 49 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: we've kind of got three points to me in this draft. 50 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Josh rosen does he get traded? Does you know? Does 51 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: he get traded? That is gonna answer the second one, 52 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: which is does Kyler Murray go number one? That'll that'll 53 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: put that to bed. And then to me, the next 54 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: kind of pressure point of this draft is the Giants 55 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: and what do they do? Do they take a quarterback? 56 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: Do they do they wait? Take a quarterback at seventeen? 57 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: Do they take one at six? Do they not take 58 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: one at all? That to me is uh, it's kind 59 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: of an interesting layer to this draft, and we talked 60 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 1: about it on Path to Draft last week. Everything that's 61 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: been out there saying defensive player at six, wait for 62 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: the quarterback at seventeen, and look I've I've said the 63 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: same thing because that's what you hear. And then as 64 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: you kind of get time over the weekend and you 65 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: look at things, Buck and I'm looking at I'm going, Okay, 66 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: the difference between pick six and pick seventeen. This is 67 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: not like yeah, but but it's not like you're picking 68 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: two and thirty two. Like to me, if you are 69 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: going to take a quarterback you think he's good enough 70 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: at seventeen, just take him, You take him, you always 71 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: take him at six, Just take him. Why would you 72 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: believe that in the hands of somebody else, just that 73 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: you don't get and it can be too rich. How 74 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: many times we said it's too rich with these quarterbacks 75 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: going to top ten. But if you're gonna take him 76 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: at seventeen, in my opinion, you should take him at six. 77 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: And the other side of it is, if I'm the Giants, 78 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: it would behoove you to get it out there that 79 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: you're not going to take one at six, You're going 80 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: to take one at seventeen, because then nobody leap frogs 81 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: you at six to take the quarterback. Yeah, am I crazy? 82 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: But I mean I'm just looking at this going they're 83 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: gonna take a quarterback. They're taking him at six. And 84 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: we've talked about this. I feel like like and this 85 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: is the thing where we do so many draft shows 86 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: and episodes that kind of runs together. But we talked 87 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: about this, if and I'll just use Daniel Jones as 88 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: the example, if Daniel Jones is your guy, then go 89 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: and get your guy, and you can't worry about what 90 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: the outside public says, what everyone If you believe that 91 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: he is a guy that can start and be your 92 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: franchise quarter back, make the move, and you gotta be 93 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: willing to stand in it. You know what you don't 94 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: want to do here. You don't want to you don't 95 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: want to pass it six. And then all of a sudden, 96 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: couples maybe a quarterback or two start to go and 97 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: now you're having to trade draft picks to go from 98 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: seventeen to come back up to take the quarterback. Well, 99 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: and those players can help you. And also and we 100 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: we we've done this. We talked about it being in 101 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: cluster buster or when we're in meeting rooms and you 102 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: look at what's the deeper pool. If you look at 103 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: what is the deeper pool between the quarterbacks and the 104 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: pass rushers, we would say Okay, there they're enough pass 105 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: rushers where it's seventeen, you probably can get a guy 106 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: that is maybe he's not an A, but maybe he's 107 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: a B plus and so Farrell, or you're gonna get Burns, right, 108 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: so you get there. So then what you do is 109 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: what we've done in terms of like, hey, I can 110 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: get bucket A, which is maybe I get Daniel Jones 111 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: and Brian Burns or whatever. Or I can get bucket B, 112 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: which is Rashine Gary and maybe you might miss out 113 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: on all four. I don't know, And so it is 114 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: better to just say, look, this is a guy that 115 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: we want. We're gonna get him, and I'm gonna love him. 116 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of like some people like 117 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: to trade and get qu or whatever. I want to 118 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: get the guy that I want because I want him. 119 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna help us, and I have a 120 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: grade that matches what we expect he will be for us. 121 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do it, and I'm not gonna worry 122 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: about it, Like I'm not gonna worry about what everyone 123 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: on the outside says, because it really doesn't matter as 124 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: long as it works for us. Absolutely. So anyway, that 125 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: that was I want to get that so so so 126 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: now it's funny that you said that about the smoke 127 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: screen and just wanted to putting that out there because 128 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: I believe there's another smooth screen that takes place. And 129 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: this to kind of go with Josh Rosen reporting to 130 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: Cardinals all season and according to the Twitter verse, he 131 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: was the first one, first one. So how about this, 132 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: how about the reason why we haven't heard Josh Rosen 133 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: say anything, because he hasn't said anything throughout this entire 134 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: process that he's supposedly being shocked or they're flirting with 135 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: Calu Murray. Maybe the Cardinals and Josh Rosen are in 136 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: on the deal. Maybe they told you, hey, Josh, here's 137 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: what we're doing. We can flow and see if we 138 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: can get out of this number one pick, see if 139 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: we can pick up some extra picks and do some 140 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: other stuff. And maybe they're trying to entice a team 141 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: like the Raiders to move up to number one, because 142 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: maybe they're a coach has fallen in love with Cala Murray. 143 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: Because when you started to really think about this, some 144 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: of the the only reason we're really saying Calumari goes 145 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals, it's just the Cliff Kingsbury comment from 146 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: October there's no real tangible evidence that says that the 147 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: Cardinals are uh not believing they're ready to depart ways 148 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: with Josh frozen, there was nothing that came out of it. Well, 149 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 1: I would, I would, I would add to that. Steve 150 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: come was asked point blank, is Josh Roseen your quarterback? 151 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: And he said he is right now. Yeah, But see 152 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: I also wanted is that him playing coy, is that 153 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: him being whatever? Because man, most people though, and this 154 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: is my argument to that, is there's nothing more fragile 155 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: than a young quarterback. And even if you tell him 156 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: that to not just be committed to him and and 157 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: not even we're not having to play games, we're not 158 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: messing around doing it. He is our guy going forward. 159 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: He is going to be the pillar of our frantise. 160 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna build around him. I think the ego of 161 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: and the the um. You just gotta be careful around 162 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: a young quarterback man that's didn't play well last year. 163 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: You know it. It is fragile. But then if you 164 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: if you don't kind of like paying the picture that like, hey, 165 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: we're going to get someone that may be highly desired, 166 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: then there's no opportunity for you to kind of auction 167 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: off the number one pick. And I know, like, look 168 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: what they're doing the media doesn't really matter, Like it's 169 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: the bad channel phone calls that you have with executives 170 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: or whatever. But you would like to think that if 171 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to kind of build it up so I 172 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: can kind of bait somebody into coming up, that I 173 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: have to use Kyler Murray and Josh Rosen as debate, 174 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, um see, I don't think anybody's coming up 175 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. I don't think. I mean, I don't like, 176 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think. To me, I almost think 177 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: more likely the case is since they started doing their 178 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: homework on Nick Bosa, And to me, I almost thought 179 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: it is, Hey, we go to the forty Niners, make 180 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: them think there's at least a chance we could take Bosa, 181 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: and maybe I get the forty Niners to flip with 182 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: us and we get something. Maybe they give us a 183 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: third or fourth round pick just so they guarantee they 184 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: get Bosa, we get Kyler Murray at two and a 185 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: little sugar. Maybe. I mean this it's a lot. The 186 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: thing about it, the thing about it all to take 187 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and back to back. You ars uh, it has 188 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: been done Sam Bradford. They keep saying Bradford a bunch 189 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: of money and then took Josh Rosen and then potentially 190 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: turn around take another quarterback. I mean, that's a lot 191 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: at one position. But the other side of it is Buck, 192 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: this is and we know what we know it's true. 193 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: If you look at that from an ownership standpoint, let's 194 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: put yourself. We always put ourselves in the coaches position 195 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: or the general manager's position. Let's put ourselves in the 196 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: owner's position. You are You're irrelevant. Your team is irrelevant. 197 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: In a division with the Rams, the high flying Rams, 198 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: the forty niners, with the quarterback gets healthy, the Seahawks, 199 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: who are all, he's good, it's gonna be a playoff team, 200 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: you are irrelevant. What Kyler Murray does is that is buzzing. 201 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: That is relevancy, and you're something that there's something to see. 202 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna put butts in the seats. Now, that's not 203 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: ideally the way you go about building a football team, 204 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: but that does factor in. I guarantee you that factors in. 205 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: It does factory in, It does factor into the equation. 206 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: But okay, and I know you're you're on record, and 207 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: I think we kind of talked about because I've kind 208 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: of going back and forth on the Calu Murray like 209 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: a coach. If that's your quarterback, then go get the quarterback. However, 210 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 1: it goes against everything that I believe in when it 211 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: comes to team building, like it's only for the fact 212 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: of trying to see where they could do. It goes 213 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: against everything. If I'm sitting there at number one, and 214 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: I do believe Calu Murray is a player who has 215 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: transcendent potential, however, risk Yeah. However, if I have an 216 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to really do this thing the right way where 217 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: I got my young quarterback, I legitimately can go at one, 218 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: get a dominant pass rusher inside or outside, like Bosa Williams, 219 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: whoever you deem to be the number one guy. I 220 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: could come back at thirty three and take the best 221 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: player available, and it may be another defensive stud or 222 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,599 Speaker 1: I could get a stud wide receiver to go opposite 223 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald. Literally two days of the draft. 224 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: I can walk away and kind of change the plight 225 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: of the franchise if I get the right guys, and 226 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: so so let's let' let's put it side by side. 227 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: And this is part of our discussion because we're gonna 228 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: go through the Arizona Cardinals are a team that picked 229 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: the quarterback last year? What should they do in this 230 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: year's draft? And we'll go through the Jets, Bills, Ravens, 231 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: and Browns after we finish up the Cardinals. But let's 232 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: do this is exercise we always do. Buck. Let's put 233 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: him side by side. Okay, So you've got plan one. Okay. 234 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: Plan one, which is a plan we both would be 235 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: on board with, is take Bosa, right, So you take Bosa, 236 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: you keep the quarterback in Rosen, So you've got Bosa 237 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: Rosen and then you've got your pick at the top 238 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: of the second Right, Let's say at that point in 239 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: time they take Deebo, Samuel, somebody that can help your offense. Okay, 240 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: So that's what they do there. That's plan one. Plan 241 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: two is the Kyler Murray plans. You take Kyler Murray, 242 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: you scratch Rosen off, he's gone, you scratch both off, 243 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: he's gone. And now you get to the top of 244 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: the second round and you end up say, let's say 245 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: we take Murray we need a pass rusher. Um, maybe 246 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: it's like an L. J. Collier, you know, or Jalen Ferguson, 247 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: one of those. Probably right, Let's just put Kylier in there, 248 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: but then you also will get let's say they end 249 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: up getting another two um from the Redskins as part 250 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: of the Rose and trade, so we got add one 251 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: more player in there, another second round player. So they've 252 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: got Murray, they've got Collier, So in this one we 253 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: want to try and find them a receiver. Is that 254 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: what you're thinking? The middle of the second round? Um, 255 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 1: we want to do Uh, we can go Uh. I 256 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: don't know if a J. Brown will be there, but 257 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: we want to throw a J. Brown in there as 258 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: somebody or yeah, Brown's probably gone, but then kill Harry's 259 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: probably you want to do do to kill Harry and go 260 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: a little let's keep him local. Okay, So that's the 261 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: three plans you've got, uh, bossa Rosen, Deebo, Samuel or Kyler, Murray, 262 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: L J. Collier, and to kill Harry. See I don't like. 263 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: I don't like plan too because I'm not a huge 264 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: fan of L. Well. Who you want to put in there? 265 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: You can put Ferguson in there. Whoever, second round, it 266 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I don't like the way it looks right now. 267 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't like it. I just don't like the way 268 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: it looks right now. Yeah, I don't. I don't like 269 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: the way that it comes off. I don't like the way. Um, well, 270 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: if we graded him right, so Bosa to me is 271 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: an a level player. I think Rosen, surrounded by the 272 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: right talent, can be an a level player. And I 273 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: think Deebo Samuel is a B plus player. Right now, 274 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: we'll say Murray, he has a potential. We can make 275 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: him an a player. But now you start getting into 276 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: two two bees. Yeah, the g p A is better 277 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: the other way as higher plane. I mean yeah, So 278 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: I mean like you do it. And also, um, the 279 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: thing about it for me and it's it's it's hard 280 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: because like what happens is like you have the division 281 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: of Josh Rosen playing behind a bad team in mind, 282 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: and like, no matter how much we say he played 283 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: behind a bad team, the visual is you still see 284 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: number three struggling past is struggling or whatever. And no 285 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: matter what we talked about upfront, like your eyes are 286 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: on number three. And so I think that is kind 287 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: of dampen the optimism about his ability to bounce back. However, 288 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: I think we should look at it depends on if 289 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: you have confidence in the coach. You have confidence that 290 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: Kingsbury can kind of figure it out on the run 291 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: and get it right. But I mean, we saw Jerry 292 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: Golf suffered through the same thing, like not really look 293 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: like a pro struggle, but then they surrounded him the 294 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: second year, better coaching, better weapons on the outside, and 295 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: it worked out. Robert Woods, Cooper Cup, they brought in 296 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: to tight ends. They had tight ends to come in 297 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: and do it. So if you believe that Rosen is 298 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: the guy, you take both of one, but then you 299 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: gotta go all then, know making sure that you get 300 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: the offense right because you have to make sure that 301 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: he plays. He has the sophomore jump. He doesn't look 302 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: like the same guy that we saw at the end 303 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: of the last season. One of the interesting things that 304 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: will be a challenge to me for Murray Um and 305 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: I look, I have all the way through. I think 306 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: once once he declared for football, Colin Murray has been 307 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: my top quarterback. He's gonna roll with my top quarterback. 308 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: But I do want to caution a little bit against 309 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: the expectation, Um, because you've heard Mahomes come out of 310 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: the same offense, and even though he's much smaller than 311 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: the Homes, he has a lot of similar skills to Pat. 312 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: There's a lot of similarity there. Now, the thing I 313 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: would caution um when you look at it. Okay, let's 314 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: look at the things Mahomes has in place in Kansas. 315 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: Let's start. Let's start with Andy Reid, the best play 316 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: call in the NFL. Great play called it, great quarterback developer, 317 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury. Smart guy, He's not Andy Reid. Um, Let's 318 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: look at the mentor in place with Alex Smith, one 319 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: of the finest human beings. Great guy, no pressure to 320 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: play on the field right away, got a chance to 321 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: Did they have that in Arizona? How about one of 322 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: the best offensive lines in the NFL? Have that? No, 323 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: they don't have any of those things. How about the 324 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: how about the premier, premier tight end in the NFL? 325 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: Do they have that? You don't like Rickey Jones? How 326 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: about the how about the most explosive wide receiver in 327 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: the NFL? Do they have that? No, they don't have 328 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: They don't want to have a running back? They got 329 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: a good running back in David Johnson. How many swing 330 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: passes you can use to David Johns? Can we get 331 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: him a hund What I'm just you know, I'm going, 332 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, look, I think Kyler Murray's dynamic. 333 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: He can do a lot of Pat Mahomes things. But man, 334 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: that is not that situation that Rosen couldn't be successful in. 335 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult for Kyler Murray to walk 336 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: into and be successful. It's gonna be very difficult for him. 337 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard for him to kind of figure 338 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: it out and do it. And we've seen that it 339 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: takes like the second year before those guys settling. Even 340 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz as great as he played his ricky season, 341 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't more comfortable until second year when they surround 342 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: him with veterman players. And that's the other thing too. 343 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: Like for the Cardinals, I would say maybe they've gone 344 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: about it the wrong way. If you're going to upgrade 345 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: uh and elevate your quarterback, you get the veteran pass catchers. 346 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: He's got one VET, he has Lary fitz Gerald. But 347 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: you go and get another guy, another pro that knows 348 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: how to play the game, so he can depend on 349 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: that guy. He can trust everything his own point. When 350 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: you break into a rookie, it's just harder. All right, 351 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: Let's let's move on to the Jets now, uh Sam 352 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: Donald last year, going to the second year, you got 353 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: the third pick. Um, to me, there's really two options here. 354 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: I I believe that that Kyler Murray's gone, post has gone, 355 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: that those be the two first two picks. So that 356 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: to me at three, I know you can say, okay, well, 357 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: they you know, need an addresher bad. I just think 358 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: Quinn and Williams a better football player, um than than 359 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: what you would get with Josh Allen. So to me, 360 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: I would go Quinn and Williams. And I think sometimes 361 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: you say, okay, well, this Jets team, you know, wasn't 362 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: that long ago they had Wilkerson and Sheldon richardson. Then 363 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: they came back um with uh big man from USC Williams. 364 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: So man, I know they've moved off for those first 365 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: two guys, but they just keep going to the back 366 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: of the well. I would say, okay, well, that's what 367 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: they said about the Detroit Lions when they when they 368 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: took Megatron. After they've taken those other Savers weren't any good. 369 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: So you got a grade the individual player, and I 370 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: just think, man, you put Quinnin Williams next to Leonard Williams. 371 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: Um so because I'm looking fun to watch. So the 372 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: other option to me is trade out, is get out 373 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: of there. Yeah, So I'm just I'm just popping into 374 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: the depth chart. Man, they really don't have much like 375 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: DJ you talk about it. So Henry Anderson is a 376 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: good player, not a great player. Good player. I think 377 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: he has seven sacks last year. But between him and 378 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: Leonard Williams, now you put another one in there, you 379 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: don't have an edge. He goes, stop me, no, no, no, no. 380 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at Leonard Williams, Steve McClinton, Henry Andon. 381 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: Didn't you have Copeland? I like Mosley and and Avery Williamson. 382 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: I think they need someone off the edge. Um. I 383 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: guess it kind of comes down to, like grading the 384 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: player and which one do you really really like? Look, 385 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: I like Henry and for fourth year, he's kind of 386 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: come on, he's done this thing. He's gonna versed off. However, 387 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: do you believe he's going to be a guy that 388 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: is disruptive like Hughes can play systems on the nose too. 389 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: I can put him in there. I mean so many things. 390 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean you now you talk about being like really 391 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: stout and rugged against the page, and to think about 392 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: they still can come back with n pick they don't have. 393 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: I don't think they have a I don't think I 394 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: think the trader, I don't think they need picks. That's 395 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: why I was saying trading down and buck. They don't 396 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: really have a center on their roster. That to me 397 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: is why Jonathan Harrison can play there, but he's not great. 398 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: To me, it would make sense if they were a 399 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: team that maybe even do a double trade down right, 400 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: trade down from three to six or something like that. 401 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: Then you go from six to twelve or thirteen and 402 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: you just take Bradberry in the and pick up a 403 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: boatload of picks. That would make some sense there too. Um. 404 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: But inside this division, think about this. I was thinking 405 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: about this the other day. You look at themes inside 406 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: of division. Who were the edge rushers in the a 407 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: f C East book. None? None, Jerry hughes Um, you know, 408 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: like Michael Bennett kick inside outside. There no no edge 409 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: rushers in the whole division. No, No, And you're right. Uh, 410 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: they don't have a second und pick. They have two threes. 411 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: They have their pick in the New Orleans Saints. Pick 412 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: um for trade down makes sense if they can find 413 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: a partner. I don't think they're gonna find a partner. 414 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: I think they're find a partner. But damn, you still 415 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: like this roster. You look at it. They need blue players. 416 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean well, I mean, I I think they they 417 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: feel good about c J. Mosley, Leonard Williams, c J. Mosley, 418 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: Jamal Adams. I feel like they've got a blue chipper 419 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: at every level of the defense, and that's a good 420 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: place to start. On the offense, they have Leve Bill. 421 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: You've got Levet Bill. I know, you know me. I'm 422 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: a big Donald Homer, So I think he's gonna be good. 423 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: And I like Herndon. I think Hernan is a good 424 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: young tight end. Yeah, but I mean they need another. 425 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: They got a bunch of twos and threes as for seas, 426 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: so they gotta they gotta. They have a lot of 427 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: work to get done. But um, it depends you. You 428 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: talked about Quinn Williams being a dominant play on the inside. 429 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: I'll make the case for Josh Allen being outside. They 430 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: don't have a proven pass for us, for Brandon Copeland, 431 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: Jordan jenk Is. Neither one of those guys are consistent 432 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: in terms of get into the quarterback UM. Josh Allen Ye, 433 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: the way that Greg Allen wants to play. Greg Williams 434 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: wants to play defense, They want to bring pressure, they 435 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: want to heat him up, they want to do things. 436 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: He would appear to be a guy that can make 437 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: some things happen. We saw the bump that Miles Garrett 438 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: had under Greg Williams this season in the second year. 439 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: Maybe you can take a guy like Josh Allen and 440 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: create someone on one opportunities for him to win. But 441 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: you are right if you grade the player. I would 442 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: prefer to have the inside player Ken Williams over Allen. UM. 443 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: I think it's a mix of how much do they 444 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: value team need over you know, like the talent and 445 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: the player. All right, let's get to the Buffalo Bills 446 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: that pick number nine. UM. I have heard from a 447 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: ton of different people. UM, Jonah Williams is is somebody 448 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: to watch there that that makes doing something to help 449 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: your young quarterback? Now, I would advocate for a different position, 450 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: a different player, you know, where I'm Who's who's like 451 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: my favorite dude in the whole track. I don't know 452 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: who's your favorite Hockson Hockinson. You can advocate Hockinson. Here's 453 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: my thing. The only person in that building that would 454 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: like Hockinson and more than the quarterback would be the 455 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: running back. You can make your quarterback and you're running 456 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: back both happy with that pick because he's gonna impact both. Um. 457 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: He can help you in the past game as a 458 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: as a young quarterback. A tight end is as friendly 459 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: as it gets um and be able to He can 460 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: generate space, he can get open. He's a good route runner. 461 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: He catches everything. So he's a nice outlet for a 462 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: young quarterback. They can I love having a young quarterback 463 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: and a young tight end grow up together. Think of 464 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates. Watch them kind of blow 465 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: up and and uh and grow together. I think the 466 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: same thing here. You get Hockinson with Josh Allen. They 467 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: can grow together and he can help you big time 468 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: in the run game. So once again, we'll we'll do 469 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: this in clusters. Would do Plan A and playing B. 470 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised that Jonah Williams would be a 471 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: guy that could pick because you remember Brian day Ball 472 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 1: was at Alabama, him knows him. Will they want. They're 473 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: kind of guys into building, guys that kind of fit 474 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: the culture of high floor, high floor. You know what 475 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: you're buying. You know exactly what you get. Um. I think, Uh, 476 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: the big thing would be Jonah Williams. And what tight 477 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: end could I get in the second round? Uh? When 478 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: they pick they have two twos, I think, Um, we 479 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: gotta get that thing that shows all their picks are 480 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: trying to put that up. I know that you have 481 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: a second round pick. It would be interesting, um to 482 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: see if they can come back in which tight end 483 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: could they pick up in in in that situation or 484 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: can they get it tight end later on they need 485 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: a pass catcher. Uh, it'll be interesting to see where 486 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: IRV Smith goes? Um is IRV Smith still on? Okay? 487 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: So they pick forty, that's the eighth pick of the 488 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: second round? Smith going by there? No, I think you 489 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: could be there. So if they gamble they get to tackle. 490 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: It just kind of depends on do you believe a 491 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: higher rated tackle is gonna be available in the second 492 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: round or with a higher rated tight end tackles are 493 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: gonna be gone, you know. So if that's the case, 494 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,239 Speaker 1: didn't take the tackle. Now I come back and get 495 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: the tight end. Yeah, and I would make a case, Okay, 496 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: I forego, they need help across the line, so I 497 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: would take it in. I think you can still get 498 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: an interior, a good interior starter on the office. You 499 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: absolutely can get it interior player, like you can get 500 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: it into tight end and an interior player, and you 501 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: still could probably get a starting caliber tackle, third round 502 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: developmental guy they pick. Overall, you probably still could get 503 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: a tackle that may be able to come in there, 504 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: like depending on how the draft cracks. But it's funny 505 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: how you are prioritize it, like, hey, get the pass 506 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: catcher in the middle. It is the easiest way to 507 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: help a guy who has struggled with his accuracy. Man 508 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: shortest point right over the ball, sit it down, and 509 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: with some of the stuff that they're doing, they could 510 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: actually get into the r p O game to make 511 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: the tight end a viable weapon. Run some fakes. Think 512 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: about what have we said about We've been very consistent 513 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: saying what we would do with the Buffalo Bills build 514 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: a tract team, right, So they've done that, they go 515 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: out and get John Brown. Robert Foster can fly. Uh 516 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: they've got speed. Now, So now that you've got some 517 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: speed vertically, what does that do? It creates space in 518 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: the middle of the field for ten. It's a complimentary offense. 519 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: You're building right there, right and if you're committed to 520 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: grinding the ball at which they should be committed now, 521 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: and he's gonna help you in the ground and pound 522 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: game because he's still good run game. I just think 523 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: he's a perfect fit for that team. He is. They 524 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: are older at running back now, they're over McCoy and 525 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: Frank were. At some point. They got to get a 526 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: young runner find I would like one, I know, I 527 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: like I would like to paramoute with another young young 528 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: runner back and maybe in the fourth round that's where 529 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: you go. But this is a team to think should 530 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: run it and run it and run it, and then 531 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: when they throw it, they throw it down the field. 532 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: And so they're certainly uh C validity to the plan 533 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: that you talk about getting to tighten coming back and 534 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: get into your blocker and then get another offensive tackle 535 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: to kind of complete it. When I have a young quarterback, 536 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: if I'm a decision maker I'm building up my offense, 537 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: I might give up some points if we're if we 538 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: lose some games and we're scoring points in my quarterbacks 539 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: showing signs, he's the guy that we're right on track. 540 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: To me, I mean, you can build up that defense 541 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: and lose every week thirteen to ten. Nobody's happy you're 542 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: losing games, you're not scoring points at quarterbacks. They progressing. 543 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: That's that's the and they and they've committed like the 544 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: last couple of years. If you really look at their defense, 545 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: they played pretty decent defense last year for the most part. 546 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: I know they played good defense. They've got looking at 547 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking at them, Trim Murphy, they got Starlett, Jerry Hughes, 548 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: Matt Milana. I could get a better back, but that's fine. 549 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: I could play around it. They do need another same 550 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: line back of Lorenzo Alexander is there guy, but in 551 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: the secondary there solid in the secondary, so they can 552 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: find someone. But you're right, they can go all in 553 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: with their offense. They got those you talk about the 554 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: pass catchers. John Brown's a genals, Cole Beasley coming over. 555 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: You get a nice tight end. Yeah, because right now, 556 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying so I don't know. I think 557 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: it's I go offense there. I know there's a lot 558 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: of talking about them taking a defensive lineman, but um, 559 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: I think it'll be either Jonah Williams or Hawkins. And 560 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: that's my uh, that's my ca. You know they signed 561 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: Jake Fisher to be a tight and I'll be a 562 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: big blocking tight end. Now they got to actually a 563 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: tight end. Hockinson actually plays the position deat neat thing there. Um, 564 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: how about Baltimore Buck. I'm gonna make this quick and painless. Hey, 565 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: they're not picking it twenty two. They're out Lark Jackson 566 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: cost him a second round pick. They don't have a 567 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: second round pick Eric to costas first draft. Eric's gonna 568 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: want to move around a little bit. Why I show 569 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: people that he's smart and everybody's gonna move around. He's 570 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: gonna move around, get some extra picks. But what I gay, 571 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: I need players. I'll tell you right now. We want 572 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: to we want to do Chick fil A. They pick 573 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: it chick fil A on me, Oh my god. Okay, 574 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: So I'll make it this two combos. So that will 575 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: go to combo meals on that to combo meals. Okay, 576 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: here here, here's what I will say about your theory. 577 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: To take down, to move down, everyone in the building 578 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: will tell you that they need wide receivers. What a 579 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: good thing about this? Do they think they do? Do 580 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: they care about wide receivers? They have to have they 581 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: have to have some tech because you can't get free 582 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: agent play four tight ends. Man, there, let's go, come on, 583 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: be for real, ground and pound. You know what. One 584 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: thing about them on the Ravens I would keep an 585 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: eye on is uh can I make one pick for them? Yes? Okay, 586 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go. Uh, let's go fifth or sixth round, 587 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: fifth or sixth round, And I'm gonna say, trace McSorley 588 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: to get you a young young quarterback that can do 589 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: everything you can do, can play the type of game 590 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: that they want to play as a young backup because 591 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: r G three not gonna be there forever. Trace McSorley 592 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: to the Ravens. That's I'm doing that. That's where we're 593 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: going with you like that? I mean, you know the 594 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: other one I was thinking of would be Nick Fitzgerald. 595 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: Dick Ferald ran a four six four. He can move, okay, 596 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: so happened to watch him tonight. I think they'd beat 597 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: all and he ran like he oh yeah, he just 598 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: runs it. He ran like a man. But I'm saying, 599 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: like Lamar, he's gonna get nicked up at some point 600 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: in time running like this. If you if you can 601 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: be okay with the size, I think you'd be fun. 602 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: I'll be fun the preseason, just those tight ends out there, 603 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: just running pop pass. I mean, just go, just go 604 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: all in. You're just talking about going all in with 605 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: just save this? You remember to save this. When they 606 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: picked him in the fifth he like like, here's was 607 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: dye fair? I believe you get insider trade. Oh no, 608 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: there's no inside information. That's just that's that's that's just cut. 609 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: That's just cut. Um Cleveland. No first round pick gotta give. 610 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: Oh shoot, they don't need to give Baker Mayfield me help. 611 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,479 Speaker 1: They got all the help he needed what they've done 612 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: in the offseason. Pick forty nine in the second round. 613 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: I put down your guy, Taylor Rap, Oh look at you. 614 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: That's why I got who'd you? Who'd you throw down there? 615 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: Zach Allen? Okay, Zach Allen, hard nosed, tough guy. To 616 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: get rid of Emanu Agba. They need someone they can 617 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: throw into rotation. He's a solid guy. Kind of strikes 618 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: me as the right kind of guy, right temperament. It's 619 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: gonna play hard, physical, rugged. I think in the second round, 620 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: middle second round, man, they're there. Their front though on 621 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: paper looks good man because obviously we know what Myles 622 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: Garrett Larryogan job. If people don't know, it's really good player. 623 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: Sheldon Richardson is a first round pick for reasons. Come on, 624 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: dynamic and come on, come on, come on. It's a 625 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: good look. That's the thing. Like, So, I've been messing around, 626 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: like and I know we don't like to refer to 627 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: the other podcast, but the Around the Around NFL podcast 628 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: A ten. I've been messing with Mark Sessler because Mark 629 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: Sessler has been the perpetual underdog for ever. Talking about 630 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and I walk in, I'm like, hey, 631 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: but the different being the champions, different than you walk 632 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: you walking in the building, now you got to you 633 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: should have your chest boat down. It makes me nervous. 634 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: I was like, embrace it, embrace it because right now, 635 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: on paper, they are loaded compared to the other teams 636 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: in the division. Yeah, they are the most talented. I 637 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: think the hardball came out and said that even that 638 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: the Browns are the most talented. Now let's see how 639 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: it all comes. You know, you know they like to 640 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: But the other thing I would keep an eye on 641 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: with them is, uh, you know, if Jeffrey Simmons starts 642 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: to slip a little bit, Dorsey's not gonna be able 643 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: to help himself. Oh they can go get him, Go 644 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: get him, get him. You can't. You can't have enough 645 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: good players. He's he is a fantastic player. All right, 646 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: that was fun little exercise. How about a running back? 647 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: Give me a late round running back or a free agent? 648 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: We got one, kind of be this year's Philiplins. Who 649 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: I got one? Man? I believe it. Running back production matters. No, 650 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going Miles Gasking. I'm actually going Benny Snail 651 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: from Kentucky style of of Philips opposite style. But at 652 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: running back that I think is gonna have success. Three 653 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: one tho yard season. You guy had thirty eight touchdowns. 654 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: He's tough, he's physical, he's a finisher. And in fact, 655 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: the team that you're talking about, the Baltimore Ravens, to me, 656 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: he is perfect in this system. Downhill, no friels, straight ahead, 657 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: no nonsense, gonna finish it. I think he'd be a 658 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: terrific fit. Yeah. To me, the challenge is with these 659 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: guys that I like, I give higher grades to, so 660 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: to say they're gonna be late round picks. Normally, what 661 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: happens is you get a guy you like, the rest 662 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: of the league doesn't like, and then that ends up 663 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: being your late round pick. So trying to look to 664 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: the guys I have in the lower levels, it's hard 665 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: to pluck one of those guys from the pile. But 666 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a homer for a second buck because 667 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: I do think I have Jalen Moore. I gave him 668 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: what equates to like a third or fourth round grade. 669 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,239 Speaker 1: We were were we threw your bone the other day. 670 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: He's a good player man. J D broke him down. 671 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: Did he broke him down? Jalen Moore? Yeah, we talked. 672 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: We talked about him. He talked about kind of forget 673 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: about him because he got hurt and I wasn't able 674 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: to participate in the Senior Bowl with a combine. Um. 675 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: But he is a he's a good player man. Balance 676 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: toughness can make you miss. I still think he probably goes. 677 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: I was just putting this little board together where not 678 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: just where I have guys where I think they'll end 679 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: up going. And I had him, Uh, I had him 680 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: fourth round. I think he got a chance to go 681 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: in that range. Solid size, athleticism, a lot to like, 682 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: really good against Penn State. But that's kind of my 683 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: I guess there. All right, you want to get to 684 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: this interview with Jonathan Abram. All right, here's my chat 685 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: with Mississippi State safety one of my favorites in the draft, 686 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: Jonathan Abram.

I was in second 722 00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: grade and I got to watch like the pee wee 723 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: football practice, and I was just like, I really want 724 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: to play football. But at the time I had watched 725 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: it was just like you were too young. You gotta wait. 726 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: Get away too like ten years old. So when they 727 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 1: let me end up coming out because I was bigger 728 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 1: than everybody, I scored my we won the championship. Actually 729 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: my first year, we were in the quarterback bootleg unlimited 730 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: amount of times. I schooled nine times on it when 731 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: you were the quarterback at all? Right, So then take 732 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: me through high school. Take me through high school, and uh, 733 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: what kind of a high school player? I know you 734 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 1: ended up going to Georgia before you went to Mississippi State, 735 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: But walk me through your high school career a little bit. 736 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: What position did you play? How'd your teams do? Tell 737 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: me about it. So high school, my ninth grade year, 738 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: I was only the only freshman to play of all 739 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 1: the juniors and seniors, actually only ninth thirteen grader. And 740 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: when we're going to the state championship, had Danny Does 741 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: and running back Xavier gunn Do end him going on 742 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: Mississippi State. So we got to State. My freshman year, 743 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: we end the Blues into West Bolivar. I was so devastated. 744 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: So I actually played quarterback and safety, but I only 745 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: played safety my freshman year. Ten grade year, I played 746 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: quarterback and safety. We end up getting to South State. 747 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: We end up losing to bass Field. You know Jamal Peters, 748 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: So you know that was my riding. We played those 749 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: guys every single year, so I went up losing to 750 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: them in South State seventeen and fourteen. They end up 751 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: scoring the last drive like ten seconds to go in 752 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: the game, heartbreaker. They jog the bau SENI you five yards, 753 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 1: So it was it was devastating. Eleven grade year, played 754 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 1: those guys again. They end up beating us in South 755 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: State again. My senior year, my junior was an amazing year. 756 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: I actually got to stay rickored that year, scored sixty 757 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Um senior year, lost in South State again, 758 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: but four over. They wanted five times in a row. 759 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: They want it five times in a row. Like the 760 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: culture there is, it's deep. They have a really great 761 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 1: They don't around, they don't mess around. Then why Georgia, 762 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: why did you go to Georgia was prew It. It 763 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: was that was something. It was Coach brew It. You know, 764 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: he showed me so much love and I just felt 765 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: like that if he was gonna make sure that I 766 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,759 Speaker 1: was good while I was in Mississippi, he would look 767 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: after me and Georgia, and he did. He was a 768 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: really great, really great guy, really great coach. You know, 769 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: I can't say another good things about him. And then 770 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: for those who haven't in the story, I know you've 771 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: told hem a million times, but what went into your 772 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: decision to transfer and go spend a year to j 773 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: C and then end up Mississippi State walking through that 774 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: journey so ultimately, you know, they end up getting rid 775 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: of coach Rick, you know, bringing in Kirby, got rid 776 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: of coach Pruit and you know, meet him talk. He 777 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: wanted me to come with him to Alabama, And like 778 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: I said, I solely went to Georgia because of Coach Bruit. 779 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: So I just decided that it would be best for 780 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: me to get out of there. Talk to Kirby. You know, 781 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: he wanted me to go through the spring. You know, 782 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: it was nothing bad, no bad blood they re offered 783 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: me when I got to Junior College at Georgia. But 784 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: I just felt like it was best for me to 785 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: get out and start over. So I'm going to junior 786 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 1: college rather than going to Alabama and sitting out two years. 787 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: I got to junior college. I basically got re recruited 788 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: forty two scholarship off first. It ultimately boiled down to 789 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: l s U, Alabama, Mississippi State. And the funny thing 790 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 1: about that is like no one from Mississippi State, no 791 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: one knew I was coming there, not even coach mother. 792 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: That's what's great. No one, Like everybody just had me 793 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: dialed in to go to Alabama or l s U. 794 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: But just talking to coach, what did you commit? Did 795 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: you what you what you pull a dog or something like, 796 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: what did you do when you're when committed? I didn't committed. 797 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: That's the thing. Like we had signing there at Jones. 798 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: We had sixteen guys go D one Power five that 799 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: year and so um everybody else signed at one o'clock 800 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: and I was just sitting there and I was just lost. 801 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 1: I didn't know what I wanted to do. Honestly, just 802 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: talking to coach Prul, you know, he they were actually 803 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: him and coach they were gonna come down to my 804 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: junior college that day, and so he was just like 805 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: he stepped out of office. He was just like, I'm 806 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, like I'm gonna do 807 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: my job as a coach and recruit you. He was like, 808 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 1: but as a mentor in your life, don't come here 809 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 1: for me. Go somewhere where you're gonna be happy, you 810 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 1: have friends, It's gonna mean something to you. Because that 811 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: was another thing at Georgia when I was there, we 812 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 1: played against Georgia Tech and Auburn. In those games, they 813 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: really weren't like robbery games for me. I felt for 814 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: him because you know, my teammates and my friends, you know, 815 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: they all wanted to win so and you know I 816 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: enjoy winning, but it didn't mean much to me. So 817 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: and the reason I chold to doing the junior college 818 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: I did because I wanted to beat the team on top, 819 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: which was East Mississippi, which we did. So I just 820 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: kind of felt like I wanted to beat Alabama as 821 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: well rather than just go join them, and so, you know, 822 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: unfortunately didn't we didn't accomplish that. But I had a 823 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 1: really great two years in Misissippi State with some great 824 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: guys you know, we are really great teammates. You know, 825 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: we were really all really closely hung out from position, 826 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: Like it didn't matter what position. I hung out with 827 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: old lineman, quarterback, receivers, Like it just wasn't clicked up, 828 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: like it was an entire family. Well, you guys had 829 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: a family. The best defense in college football. See a 830 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: bunch of your teammates there, you go, we see a 831 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: bunch of your teammates. It's gonna be reflected on, drafted 832 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: to see all all your teammates get picked. So my 833 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: question is, and I know it's it's a collection of 834 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: leaders with your group there, But at the end of 835 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 1: the day, who was the leader of the Mississippi State defense? Me? 836 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: Because I mean, you got guys like Jeff, I mean 837 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: Jeff and Sweat. You know, they are really great guys. 838 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: You know, we had a captain on defense, Gay Green, 839 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: you know, really great guy who I working guy. But 840 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: ultimately when it boiled down, you know, and those guys 841 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: needed somebody to make them play or to get everybody going, 842 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,720 Speaker 1: they always turned to me because like Sweat, he doesn't 843 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: really talk much. Jeff, he talks, but he's more he's 844 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: more of a worker, you know, he's more of I'm 845 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: gonna lead by an example, you know, And I was 846 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: as well, but you know they knew I would say something. 847 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: You're also somebody that just one reason I fell in 848 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: love watching you play, not only because you're playing a 849 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour.

I could see you blit um. 877 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: I can see you, you know, make a tackle on 878 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: space or a big hit. What is your favorite aspect 879 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: of the game, Like, of all those things you could do, interception, sack, 880 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: big hit, what is it to you that stands out 881 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: that your favorite, that that gets your juices going more 882 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: than anything else. It's not even the fact of a 883 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 1: tackle or it's the fact that you have someone's number 884 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: one guy, because that was pretty much what coach Soup 885 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: done a great job of this year, the one number 886 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,439 Speaker 1: one guys. If he was a slot tight end running back, 887 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: they always matched me up on him. Just to see 888 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: your number one guy go out there and be so 889 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,919 Speaker 1: flustered and frustrated because he can't do what he's doing 890 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: everybody else, Like he's just he don't know how to respond. 891 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: Like some guys tall crazy, some guys you're ready to fight. 892 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 1: Some guys just going to tank. But that right there, 893 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: I think is that's my favorite part. Just completely taking 894 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 1: your number one guy and just and just dominating. Well, 895 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 1: i'd like to hear that. That's music to my ears 896 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: right there. I want to ask you which team you 897 00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: want to go to. I'm not gonna put you on 898 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,720 Speaker 1: this there, but is there a player in the NFL 899 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: that either you're looking forward to potentially playing with on 900 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball or somebody on the 901 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: other side of the ball you can't wait to compete against. Um, 902 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys that can't wait to compete against, 903 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 1: But there's one. There's a few guys that I would 904 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: love to play with. But I would love to play 905 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 1: with the Honey Badger. Oh my gosh, WHOA Okay, I 906 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,800 Speaker 1: just feel like I could so much. You want to 907 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: play with him because I could learn so much from him, 908 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, because everybody raves about my versatility. But there's 909 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: no one more versatile than Tyranne Matthew, like no one 910 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: like the guy played corner, nickel free strong linebacker, like 911 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: he done it all. He blessed, he played man, he 912 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: played the post, he played down in the box like 913 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: there's nothing that he didn't do last year. Like I 914 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: saw this one one tweet about the number of snaps 915 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: he played at different positions, and it was just absurd. 916 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: I was like wow, because I really felt like it 917 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: just watching the film. I feel like he had a 918 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:06,279 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, all Pro season, well, no doubt. And I'm 919 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: looking at your game and I'm I'm listening to you 920 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 1: talk and I'm saying I've seen you move around and 921 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: do different things too. I mean, is that something you'd 922 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 1: like to do. You'd like to be able to be 923 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 1: kind of that Swiss army knife and and game the game, 924 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 1: move around wherever they need you.

All right, Black, 936 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: I mean you got a chance to visit with him 937 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: when he was here. I mean, he's just energy. You're 938 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: around Jonathan Abram, you feel his energy. You absolutely feel 939 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: his energy. You know that he is a guy that 940 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 1: is about his business. He wants to play well, he 941 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: wants to be known for being a great player. He 942 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 1: is an enforcement in between the hatches, and even in 943 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,359 Speaker 1: today's game, you have to have someone that can make 944 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: ride receivers pay taxes when they crossed the middle of 945 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: the field. He certainly can do that. Yeah, I mean 946 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 1: he's I was talking to somebody with the Team of 947 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,920 Speaker 1: the Day and said, man, he's like he's Rodney Harrison 948 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 1: without any of the extras. So it's funny because that's 949 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 1: what I've compared to. I talked to Willim mc ginnis 950 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: and I was like, look, that kind of reminds me 951 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,919 Speaker 1: of Rodney Harrison in his prime. Just a physical dude 952 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: who's gonna do it the right way. It's gonna be punishing. 953 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 1: Uh A lot to like about you, imagine. I was 954 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 1: trying to think of a similar scenario. Um, but if 955 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: you're the Chargers and you paired up him with Durwin James, 956 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, lights out. I mean, both guys running 957 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: the four force, both big, strong, physical, both have bring 958 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,760 Speaker 1: tons of passion and energy. I mean, I, as somebody 959 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: who calls the Charger games, I would enjoy watching those 960 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: two guys buzz around the field and just smack people 961 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 1: all day. I'm sure you would enjoy seeing that happen. 962 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: I think they can both play high. I think they 963 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: can both survive high. Changeable and then you don't know 964 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: when those guys is blitzers, interchangeable and some of the 965 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: stuff that they were doing, um last year with all 966 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 1: the dbs on the field, Oh yeah, man, he gives 967 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,839 Speaker 1: you another can drabbed down and do that. He could 968 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: play in the box easy. UM. I don't know. That 969 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: was just kind of one of those selfish things like 970 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: I could see that. Um, I would keep an eye 971 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: on team I'd keep an eye on with him, Buck, 972 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 1: I would keep an eye on the Dallas Cowboys, who 973 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: do not currently own a first round pick, saying, yeah, 974 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 1: you think you think they'd get into mix, you think 975 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: they're team they can get into mix and maybe do 976 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: some of this stuff. I'm not saying. I'm just saying, 977 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: they don't rule that one out. You're saying a lot, 978 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 1: saying a lot, saying a little, saying a lot.
