1
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: Good evening, Stealer Nation, How we doing well? That's good

4
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: us too. Our number two here of the Drive Westler

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson eating some innings on this Monday. Yeah, with

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: what I it's we do this this time of year,

7
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 2: you got it. But we don't do this every day now,

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: because if you do this every day, I do think

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: you can be rightfully accused of doing some lazy, low

10
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: hanging fruit radio. Yeah.

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's find any mock on the carrot part exactly right.

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: But we do kind of look at somebody's mock once

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: a week, do our own once a week, and you know,

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: it's usually one that catches our eyes for a couple

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: different reasons. As we mentioned this one. Four quarterbacks in

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: the top sixteen, only two offensive linemen in the first

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: half of the draft. Yeah, it's just a little different,

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: and uh, I think everyone's game.

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: Jeremia is a guy that I've not dug into his

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: marks lately. I always think he's super tuned into.

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we'll maybe we'll be that'll take a look

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: or so. Seventeen on the Clock the Lions select Monroe

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: Freeling tackle out of Georgia. I think that would make

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: as that that would be a perfect landing spot for

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: him and for them.

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: They've talked about maybe Soul going to the left, but

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: now you're still even have to.

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: You him in for Taylor Decker.

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe gets that.

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a year of growing pains, but eventually he

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: ends up being sure.

32
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: He's not gonna be perfect. But that's exactly a lot.

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: Number eighteen Minnesota Vikings on the clock and they select

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: one of Wes's draft crushes, Dylan Fennamon safety out of Oregon.

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: I'm seeing that Chalky a lot. I mean, Harrison Smimith. Yeah, right,

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: I think that might be the latest.

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: Brian Floores I think would be a would would love

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: to get his hands on a guy like that.

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: Number nineteen to the Carolina Panthers. They go to South

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: Carolina and out of Clemson select Blake Miller offensive tackle

42
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: from the Tigers.

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: McShay and mention in particular, he's the old line guy.

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: I've been really talking about him quite a bit as

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: a sure first rounder for like a month now, before

46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: people were starting to mock him in the first round.

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: I can see it.

48
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: And then before the Steelers last is pick twenty the

49
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. Back to back Clemson guys. Here is the

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: Cowboys select TJ. Parker, edge rusher out of Clemson.

51
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: He doesn't really float my boat, but I'd love to

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: see him go before the Steelers.

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: As many yeah right, as many edge rushers as possible

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: as fine with me. So on the clock, it picked

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: twenty one, Matt. That of course leaves I think our

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: number one draft crush here on the drive Venga Yoanna

57
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: also leaves Caden Procter still there, Caleb B. Loomu still there,

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: Kenyon Sadiq still there, all your defensive linemen.

59
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: San Max is still there too.

60
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: But Ty Simpson still there. Oh in this one, yeah yeah,

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: MAXI Nhure is still there.

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 3: Austin would still be available.

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: Still available, man, you will. McNeil Warren still available.

64
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: The kind you'd love all these linemen to pick from.

65
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I mean, to me, that's ideal, And

66
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: if you can move back three or four spots and

67
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: get one of them, I'd be thrilled. But I think

68
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: you take.

69
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: Vega completely agree and completely agree. If this is the scenario,

70
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: I think you rush to the podium and you don't

71
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: go very far to state college to select vinga YO

72
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: wanna guard out of Pennsylvania State University.

73
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: Which like, I'm a left guard and you hopefully don't

74
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: take him out for twelve years.

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: Which Matt, by the way, I'm looking at this and

76
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: it looks like mcshae has him tenth on his big board,

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: So you'd be getting the tenth best player at pick

78
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: twenty one.

79
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: And that's if you take a guard. Back to your

80
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: Dan conversation, like, maybe we don't care as much about

81
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: position value this ye year as much. Give me an impact, Dude,

82
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: he's I think he's the best offense of linemen in

83
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: the draft.

84
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: I think he is certainly. I think he's certainly. In

85
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: that conversation, Yeah, without like realistically good faith, you could

86
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: make that argument and they're not stretching it.

87
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: Oran, who's the best at what they do on the

88
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: old line today? I think it's him.

89
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: Because a lot of the other guys, it's like, is

90
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: he a guard? Is he a tackle? He played the

91
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: left side? Does he play the right side?

92
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: Like as much as I love Max, it's like I

93
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: love what he can become. You know, not if you

94
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: told me five years from now, Max is the best

95
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: lineman in the draft. I'll buy that. That's why I

96
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: love him so much.

97
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: And you know, since we were in Dublin in late

98
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: September and I was watching Spencer Faunu just maul my

99
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 2: Mountaineers over a couple of points, again, it's you know,

100
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: I love that guy, but.

101
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: Man, I would mind him being there at twenty one time.

102
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: I think, Venga, there's a just a clear path of

103
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: this is exactly what he is. This is exactly where

104
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: you plug him in. This is exactly where he excelled.

105
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of mystery there.

106
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: I would that scenario. Pick twenty one, Sign me up, yep.

107
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: Twenty two. Keldric Falk, the edge rusher out of Auburn,

108
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: goes to the Chargers.

109
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: He's not for me, but I think people are coming

110
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: around on him that he's This is a terrible comparison.

111
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: He's not Cam Hayward, but people are looking at him

112
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: much more as.

113
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: A three to four end, like a hand in the

114
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: dart guy.

115
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a teacher Armstead or somebody like that. And

116
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: there are a lot more teams going to a three

117
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: to four this year, not that they're going to stay

118
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: in it every down. They're still gonna be a nickel

119
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 3: all the time. But he's not an edgebender at all.

120
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: He's a run defender.

121
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: No, He's got the size and the beautiful stuff, but

122
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: I just the production is not there, and I think

123
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: he might need a little bit of a different role.

124
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: Twenty three The Eagles across the Commonwealth select Caden Proctor,

125
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: big boy perfect out of Alabama. Will make a lot

126
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: of sense, will make a lot of sense there, and

127
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: them kind of trying to keep that culture in the trenches.

128
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: Twenty four, Matt, the Browns do get their offensive line

129
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: and they go with the other Utah guy in this

130
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: first round, Caleb low Move the true right tackle.

131
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: I think you take out of here the Browns right

132
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: now what they ended up with.

133
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: So they ended up with Carnel Tate and Caleb Blomo.

134
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if this was I would be a

135
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: little nervous hoping that a tackle fell that far because

136
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: his history shows it won't.

137
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: But it pays off on bn R Browns Nation Radio, ew,

138
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,560

144
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: twenty five, du Bears select Emmanuel McNeil, Warren safety out

145
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: of Toledo.

146
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: That's a Brisker replacement. I guess, Okay, they don't make money,

147
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: so they can't get him in three agent.

148
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily love his fit for the Steelers, but

149
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: I think he's a respect for somebody else.

150
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would, he would not be for me, considering

151
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: what safeties the Steelers have. I think that's going to

152
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: be D line. I said and done by Chicago though

00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: week of you know who could go to Canton from

159
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: this class, he was my dark horse pick. Kenyon Sadik,

160
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: the first tight end goes off the board here.

161
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: I don't think he's it's hard to find a fit.

162
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: He's it's really hard to find a fit for him.

163
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 3: But I could see the Chiefs didn't. They just resigned Kelsey.

164
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: Those are the reports being being floated out there this afternoon.

165
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it.

166
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's just a contract just the

167
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: open space.

168
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: At least TV's given us the giving us the thumbs up.

169
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: So it does sound like Kelsey signed a three year extension.

170
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: Now that could just be funny money.

171
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't shock. I think it's more likely that you

172
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: know that Taylor Swift retires in the next three years

173
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: than it is that Travis Kelcey is still playing football

174
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: in the next three years. But hey, yeah, but but

175
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: even still, even if Kelsey's gonna be back for a year,

176
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: maybe even if he's like I could play two more years,

177
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: I still think for kens Or, Kansas City that could

178
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: make sense. It's twenty eight. The Houston Texans select Cayden McDonald,

179
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: defensive lineman out of Ohio State. That would make five

180
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: picks for the buck guys in the top thirty. Wow,

181
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: I I think he belongs. I just don't know about

182
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: this high A little high for me.

183
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: He's just not enough pass rush.

184
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: He's a nosy run run stopper.

185
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: I think Houston has two second round picks though, and

186
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: they have done a lot on their O line and

187
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: They're not a team that needs a lot and true

188
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 3: their linebackers are lighter running hit guys that you could

189
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: kind of convince me for this fit. But in general,

190
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: I am not taking a nose only in the first round.

191
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: Agreed. Chiefs back on the clock after selecting man Sword Delaye, who,

192
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: by the way, ran a blazing four three five at

193
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: LSU's Dan and a Bayou pro day today. Pick twenty nine,

194
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: the Chief's second round pick. They stay and take another defender,

195
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: Gabe Lucas, edge rusher out of Illinois.

196
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: Wow, that's early.

197
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: Or Jac is part of me? He's another one?

198
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: Who? Yeah, the j silows me off.

199
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: I read it as a as an l every time.

200
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: Is it Vegas?

201
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? The Jays silent gay bacas. Okay, I mean Todd

202
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: must be here, and he's getting first round by he.

203
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: Must because I think that's the highest I've seen him

204
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 2: at this point.

205
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: It does seem early, but I'm sure that's he probably

206
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: wanted to put him in his first round for that reason.

207
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: Number thirty the Dolphins here. This is the Broncos pick

208
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: for the Jalen Waddle trade Dolphins second first round pick.

209
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: They select the other corner out of Tennessee Colton Hood.

210
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: Okay, they took a receiver in the first pick.

211
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: Took a receiver with the first pick, defensive back cornerback

212
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: with the second pick. Cashius Howe goes thirty first edge

213
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: rusher out of A and M to the Patriots and

214
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: Casey that's.

215
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 3: About all he does. He's good at it. I mean

216
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: like he's a past rush only you know, DPR type guy.

217
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: And Casey concepcion wide receiver out of A and M.

218
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: So back to back A and M picks there to

219
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: close down the first round. Seattle adds a piece of

220
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: wide receiver there in conception she owned to close down.

221
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 3: The field, and obviously the Smith and Jigba contracts not

222
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: going to change that. He wasn't going anywhere.

223
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: Exactly right, exactly right, So Matt, that's the first round.

224
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: Picture into the second round here, Caleb Banks becomes the

225
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: first one off the board in round number two. He

226
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: goes to the Jets.

227
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: That's funny because it's a different world going to your

228
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: owner with some of these outlier type dudes in round one.

229
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: But then you go home after Thursday night and be

230
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: like that insane freak is still on the board and

231
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: we're just gonna take it in the second Yeah, exactly.

232
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: The only thing that gives me pause about that is

233
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: if you're the Jets and in particular a coaching staff

234
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: that now and Aaron Glennon company needs to win some

235
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: games this year. Yeah, yeah, Are you taking the guy

236
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: that is a little bit of a project here at

237
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: pick thirty three where you're like, I need someone who

238
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: I know is going to be on the field and

239
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 2: productive for me in twenty twenty six, or else I

240
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: might not make it to twenty twenty seven.

241
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: I love the idea him going very early second round, absolutely,

242
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: but maybe you're right about the Jets in terms of winning.

243
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: Now QB two finally goes off the board, Matt, and

244
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: I think the Cardinals would sign for this in blood

245
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: to get Ty Simpson at pick thirty four.

246
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: Raw, I think he'll I think is gonna be a

247
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 3: first round pick.

248
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: If you and I were, you know, doing the you're

249
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: at the table in Vegas type thing, and you're gonna

250
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: put a chip down, I would put my chip down

251
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: on Simpson being a first round pick.

252
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: Yes, I think he goes twenty five ish.

253
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: Don't think he thirty four. But if I was Arizona.

254
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: I'd run to the podium to draft him here at

255
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: thirty four.

256
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 3: Doesn't like Todder was doing trades in this one, either, so.

257
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

258
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

259
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: Thirty five Tennessee Titans take Avon Terrell corner out of Clemson.

260
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: Ajterrell's younger brother, boy.

261
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: A lot of these second rounders in this neighborhood or

262
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: could go twenty.

263
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: A lot of these guys you would really like, Yeah,

264
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: including pick thirty six overall. Man, the Raiders, they might

265
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: have they might have their offensive line fixed. Max Ian

266
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: h or Matt's biggest draft brush out of Arizona State.

267
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: That's perfect for them because he could be a guard

268
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: or a tackle or whatever. And again, they don't need

269
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: to win right this minute.

270
00:11:59,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: You know.

271
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: I really like all the names in this range.

272
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good spot to be.

273
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: Thirty seven The Giants take C. J. Allen, linebacker out

274
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: of Georgia.

275
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't think styles is crazy for them to

276
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: take in top of the first round.

277
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: They they they're gonna add two pieces. I think that

278
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: that they'll really like. H Denzel Boston goes off the

279
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: board thirty eighth to the Houston Texans. Man that would be.

280
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: That'd be a nice a nice fit for them.

281
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

282
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: Into the second round two Cleveland, Man, I hate how

283
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: well McShay has this draft falling for Cleveland Brownies. They

284
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 2: go Chase Bistoni's guard out of A and M who

285
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: I'm really starting to warm up to more and more so.

286
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: You're one of the best tackles, one of the best guards,

287
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: and a receiver.

288
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: I really like him and pregnant his second round guys

289
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: out of Oregon.

290
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, you want to make it. The Steelers

291
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: pick the second round.

292
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

293
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: There's just too many people that need him.

294
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: Yep. And there they feel like instant plug and play

295
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: and your safe.

296
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

297
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: Uh, pick forty. The Chiefs go Chris Brazzl the second

298
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: they do, go wide receiver. Finally they get the Speedster

299
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: out of Tennessee.

300
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: He's a ridiculous talent.

301
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: He is, He really is.

302
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: I have to wait on him a little bit.

303
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: He is, you like to say, playing a little bit

304
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 2: of a Mickey Mouse offense.

305
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is.

306
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: His tape pops man forty one Cincinnati Bengals, Peter Woods

307
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: defensive lineman out of Clemson.

308
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: See, I think that's where he belongs. Everyone thinks he's like, oh,

309
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: surefire first rounder blah blah blah. I don't see that same.

310
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 3: But if you're the Bengals taking him here, I think

311
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 3: you're quite happy with that. Man.

312
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: Be a run on Clemson guys here after Terrell and Woods.

313
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 2: At pick forty two, the Saints select Antonio Williams. We

314
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: talked about him last week, wide receiver out of Clemson.

315
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 3: That's you always have seen him too. I think he's

316
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: a quality player.

317
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,119
Speaker 2: He is flying under the radar in this Wild Heaver conversation.

318
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: Pick forty three, the Dolphins Malachi Lawrence edge rusher out

319
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: of UCFKA.

320
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: I put him in my first mock just because I

321
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: think he's one of the more underrated guys out there.

322
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 2: I would really like this for the Jets because he'd

323
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: have a chance to learn from some of those veterans

324
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: that they just added on their defense. Forty fourth overall,

325
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: they take Anthony Hill, junior Texas linebacker Atlanta spot for

326
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: him athlete. To forty five, the Ravens select Jeremy Bernard

327
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: out of Alabama. The three cone extraordinary.

328
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: They always like their Obama guys, going back to Ausie.

329
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: They do they like that type of wide receiver.

330
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 3: It feels type guy.

331
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bucks after taking a key Messador go back

332
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: to the defensive line. Lee Hunter out of Texas Tech.

333
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: He's a little redundant with Veya for my liking, but

334
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: it's probably about where Todd thinks he's gonna go.

335
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: Colts at forty seven they take a first pick. Yeah,

336
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: their first pick. They take Elijah Surrat kind.

337
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: Of maybe the Pittman replacement.

338
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: Replace Pittman keeps. I know he's really been grown on

339
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: the last week. Every time we bring him up, you

340
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: have better and better.

341
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get a little more excited about him.

342
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: Forty eight Atlanta Falcons take our former president and edge

343
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: rusher out of Oklahoma. Are Mason Thomas at forty eight?

344
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: Do you know the art doesn't stand for anything?

345
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: It?

346
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I heard this story. One of his parents

347
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: wanted to name him Mason, and one of his parents

348
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: wanted to name him something starting with an R, like

349
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: I guess their family history everyone's named R something. So

350
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: they just called him R. Mason Thomas. They just did both.

351
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: The R stands for nothing, which again sounds like something

352
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: that parents would have named their kids in eighteen seventy six.

353
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: The Taft administration or something.

354
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you know when you Ulysses S. Grant won

355
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: the Battle of Getty's Burg. R. Mason Thomas was his

356
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: number one general, Yeah, number one general working under him. There,

357
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: So he goes forty eighth to the Atlanta. Oh man,

358
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: I tell you what too fits in the history of

359
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: Atlanta and Georgia and the importance of the Civil Wars.

360
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: Okay, right, right now, you're really.

361
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: Getting into my dork into my dork side there. This

362
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: is not Civil War Nation radio. This is Steelers Nation Radio.

363
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: Pick forty nine, The Minnesota Vikings take the mustached wonder

364
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: Jacob Reguez, linebacker out of Texas Tech.

365
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: I think in the first round if they got him in.

366
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: Delan Fennerman, I think Brian Flores would be like man

367
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: rubbing his hands, licking his chops to get two just

368
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: versatile play, impact players like that.

369
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: I know you saw a lot of Rodriguez, but I

370
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: mean after he tested out of the charts, Like, why

371
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: do we not think he's a first round pick? What's

372
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: not the like about that guy?

373
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

374
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he makes every play, I think, just.

375
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: Mainly because this is a better than usual off ball

376
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: linebacker class like, he's not Sonny Styles, but but I.

377
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: Think he could go ahead of Hill and some of

378
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: those others.

379
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: He was the second I think linebacker take it wud

380
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: shock me, and he could end up going in the

381
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: in the twenties or you know, back after the first round.

382
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: Will fifty Detroit Lions, a guy who had a visit

383
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: with the Steelers not too long ago. Corner Chris Johnson

384
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: out of San Diego State.

385
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: Okay.

386
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: Fifty one Carolina Panthers take Eli Stower's another one of

387
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: these freakish athletic tight ends him out of Vanderbilt.

388
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: I think Young would appreciate that big.

389
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: Option, be a nice piece. Absolutely. Fifty two the Green

390
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: Bay Packers select Brandon Sissy Corner out of South Carolina.

391
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: Okay, their dtackle and corner rooms are both pretty late.

392
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: That'd be their first pick.

393
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes it would, And I like Sissy. He's

394
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: another one of those guys who's starting to.

395
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 3: I think earlier on that too. Yeah, size speed.

396
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: So the Steelers on the clock here at pick fifty

397
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: three with an offensive lineman with Venga Joanna added for

398
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 2: those who missed it in our in our previous segment,

399
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: they've got some options here, Matt, You've got a couple

400
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: of wide receivers. I think that people would like Malachi

401
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: Field still on the board, Deon Burke's still on the boards.

402
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: Zachariah Branch still on the board.

403
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 3: Those are three I'm losing excitement for for the Steelers.

404
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I'm actually for the purpose of this exercise.

405
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that because McShay has the Steelers

406
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: selecting Dion Burke's wide receiver out of Oklahoma at pick

407
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: fifty three.

408
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: He's all right, It's just there's not many under five

409
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: to ten, you know, five eight guys that are excelling

410
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: right now. And that's my problem with him and Branch.

411
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: I watch some more fields. He doesn't ever get open.

412
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 3: Everything's contested. He's really good at the catchpoint, but he's

413
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: he didn't test well and he doesn't come out of

414
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: his brakes real fast. I don't think he's going to

415
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: go on day two. Those are those are the three.

416
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: There's so many receivers I like in this neighborhood, and

417
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: those are the three that I've stalked down for me

418
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: that you mentioned.

419
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so that Matt raises a very interesting would you

420
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: rather scenario question. Like I said that, I think kind

421
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: of plays perfectly to where I wanted to go. To

422
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: wrap this up with you, I'm gonna ask you that

423
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: question when we return in our next segment. We're way

424
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: overdue for a break.

425
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

426
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the way that this played out with guard

427
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: wide receiver but maybe not necessarily the wide receiver in

428
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: the second round, that we would all be crazy about.

429
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: Would you take this or would you go fish for

430
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: another scenario? Let's discuss that when we return.

431
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 3: Well.

432
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: Shuler Matt Williamson having some fun here on a mock

433

Speaker 4: drafting this year, you do know your watch party's number

438
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 4: one pick. Bud Light, the clean, crisp taste that has

439
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 4: all the scouts talking. I guess that's why it's been

440
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: the group's go to draft beer season after season. Be

441

Speaker 1: of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

446
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: So matt Our mcshae mak that we've been looking at

447
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: here on this Monday. The Steelers in the first round

448
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: take Venga Yoanna, I think you and I would both

449
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: be psyched about that. Yeah, I think we would both

450
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: sign up for that right now. The wide receiver, though

451
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: that we would like to get it, Pick fifty three

452
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily there. It ends up being de On Burks

453
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 2: out of Oklahoma. But I think even as you mentioned

454
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: Malachi Field, Zachariah Branch some of these other names.

455
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 3: I don't hate the two small guys and just all right,

456
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: I mean, hijack things just for a minute, go for it.

457
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 3: So I've been really leaning towards oh line and then receiver.

458
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: I think we both have.

459
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: But the more we've done mocks, even just through three rounds,

460
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: I might take two day two receivers, and then I'm

461
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: much happier taking a Burk's or somebody like that, and

462
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: then ended up with Lance in the third round or

463
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 3: somebody like that that's more of a downfield, different style.

464
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 3: So I didn't love those receivers there. Although the guy

465
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: I'm really starting to fall in love with it's Hurst

466
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: from Georgia State. I mean, I think he could be phenomenal.

467
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: I'm also really interested in Belle from Louisville, but he's

468
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: he's injured. He's injured at the moment. But boy, both

469
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 3: those guys. Upside is super duper high. But I just

470
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: did a podcast on this yesterday where I think I

471
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: want to take two day two receivers, you know, especially

472
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: if I go line in Ron one. Yeah, I can

473
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: use the safety, Yeah, I can use some other things.

474
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 2: You got four picks on day two, Yeah, you.

475
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: Have four picks. There's a real rich spot there for

476
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: a lot of these receivers. You can get two different

477
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: shapes and sizes if you do it that way. And

478
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: I like Pittman, I like Metcalf, but they're not young.

479
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: And if I'm drafting one of the quarterback in the

480
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 3: first round next year, two guys that developed with him

481
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: for the next three you know, during the lifetime of

482
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: their their their contrac or their rookie deals. I don't

483
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 3: think Pittman and Metcalf are going to be there for

484
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 3: your fifty year option or your first round quarterback next year,

485
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 3: you know, let alone, maybe not two three years down

486
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 3: the road is how the league works. So I think

487
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: two day two receivers is at least my flavor of

488
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: the month for Steeler draft I and then it'd be

489
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: much easier to stomach Burkes or you know, a five

490
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: eight guy.

491
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: So I am leaning towards that way as well. But

492
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: here's kind of the would you rather that I wanted

493
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: to run by you now to preface it, it didn't

494
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: work out in the first round as ideally as I

495
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: would have liked, because there were four wide receivers taken

496
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: in front of the Steelers.

497
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: So it made this good conversation a little rougher with

498
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 3: the way this laid out, because not to mention, the

499
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 3: Leo Lyman that you love is there.

500
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: Too, exactly exactly right, and then Conception Own and Boston

501
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 2: go off the board, Brazzle goes off the board, Antonio

502
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: Williams goes off the board, all before pick fifty.

503
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 3: Three earlier in your thought, yeah.

504
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: But a guy that is still there is a manual

505
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: pregnant in the guard.

506
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: There is no lineman though that's attractive.

507
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: So my question would be at pick twenty one, would

508
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: you rather go then get one and then figure it

509
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: out here at fifty three.

510
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: The answer is yes, but I understand where you're going

511
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 3: with this. Now. I guess it would get a little

512
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 3: more interesting. Let's pretend Tyson was also there.

513
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 2: That's so that's like the wood so Venga at twenty one,

514
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: and then one of these six to ten range wide

515
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: receivers seven to eleven range wide receivers at fifty three,

516
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: or if I could tell you right now, you get

517
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: a wide receiver not named Carnell Tape because that's unreal.

518
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: You're not gonna get it right.

519
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: But you get a wide receiver, you get one of

520
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: the top receivers other than Tate. Well, let me want

521
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: you and you get pregnant at fifty five.

522
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: I know some of the guys you'd like. Let's pretend

523
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: like we never even saw this more okay, gosh, and

524
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 3: I asked you this an hour ago. Would you rather

525
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 3: have Tyson and pregnon it's pretty good? Or Venga and

526
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 3: Burks cool like that's and maybe it doesn't even have

527
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 3: to be Burks.

528
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 2: But a non top six or seven wide.

529
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 3: A non top nine wide receiver, because they're gonna go

530
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 3: a lot in this early second round the tenth receiver

531
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 3: and Venga or Pregnon and Tyson who I know you right,

532
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: right right.

533
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: I would like to obviously have that answer to how

534
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: did his medicals got that of course, which which.

535
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: We say, there's stuff, but it's not crazy. You know,

536
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: it's not like a deal breaker because Todd did have

537
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 3: him going high. He must be hearing pretty good things

538
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 3: about the medicals. Yeah, you know, I mean, if he's

539
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: got him going thirteenth, he's he's probably pretty confident that

540
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: it's not a deal breaker. Yeah, yeah, man, I see

541
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: both sides in that scenario. I'd rather know which receiver

542
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: I'm getting in round two, you know, yes, yeah, if

543
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: it's like Brazil, like, I'd probably take stick with him,

544
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: but I don't think he's gonna last there.

545
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: The same I'm with you on that if it's.

546
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 3: I don't SAT's gonna last there, Like if you told

547
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: me Venga and Serat, I would take that totally.

548
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally, I would take that over uh yeah,

549
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: or even Tyson and bestonished out of a and m's a.

550
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: It's a great question. But then I start to think

551
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: about that because because where it all kind of you know,

552
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: deduces down in my mind, is okay on day one,

553
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: as much as I love Jordan Tyson, and let's even

554
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: say he hits as a prospect, on day one and

555
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: probably year one, he's your third wide.

556
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: Receiver, assuming he's successful. I mean, he's not going to

557
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: be so good that he's Randy Moss that he's gonna

558
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: like put Jake Reid on the bench.

559
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: Whereas Venga could be in every snap starter he almost

560
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: has to be. Could by the end of the season,

561
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 2: could be your second or third best offensive lineman.

562
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And in two years he might be

563
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 3: the sixth best guard in the league.

564
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: What what if in two years you have and hey,

565
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 2: maybe I'm doing the as you and I always lament,

566
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: this wide receiver is the next Randy Moss like tare

567
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: him Doll. But maybe in two three years you've got

568
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: a pouncy De Castro type interior of your offensive line

569
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: with Venga and Fraser.

570
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: I was taking step further. I mean maybe a year

571
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: from now, this is optimistic, a year or two from now,

572
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: you might have a top five guard, tackle, and center.

573
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

574
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: That's a cheat code in the NFL.

575
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 3: That's pretty good, right, That's pretty good. I mean, that's

576
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: like the Dallas of the nineties line.

577
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 2: That's a lot harder to get than than two or

578
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: three plus wide receiver.

579
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 3: It's way harder to get, like it's almost impossible.

580
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: So as we talk it out, I think I would

581
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: go with I think I'd go with Venga and then

582
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: fish for for a wide receiver.

583
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: Yeah.

584
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: Now, if Pittman wasn't on the roster, that's Jimmy Jordan

585
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: Tyson without a doubt, and I'll wait.

586
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: Because the needs would be way too strong. Yeah yeah, yeah, yes,

587
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 3: And again I'll take my chances with two day two

588
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: receivers and any want of them to hit and go

589
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: from there, you know.

590
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, then I guess the maybe we could save this

591
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: for Wednesday for a would you rather? But then my

592
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: mind wonders, too, well, all right, would I rather have

593
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 2: Venga or would I rather have like someone like Fanu

594
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 2: who could maybe eventually be or could eventually be a tackle.

595
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 2: Because this all gets back to Matt when we're sitting

596
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 2: here next year at the end of March twenty twenty seven,

597
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 2: I don't want to be talking about needing a tackle

598
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: and a quarterback. Well, of course, because we're going to

599
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: be talking about needing a quarterback exactly. Okay, Will Howard Nation,

600
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: I hope you're right, and we're not going to be

601
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: talking about I hope.

602
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: Dylan Will Howard Nation. All right, there's a Dylan Cook

603
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: Nation out there too.

604
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: It's true. Now they're like Trinidad and Tobago compared to

605
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: the compared to the Will Howard Nation, But no doubt

606
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: it's like USA versus Trinidad and Tobago.

607
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 3: Or want to be small good enough that I extend

608
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 3: them two more years, and I would love that. That'd

609
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: be great. And he's actually shown, he's actually been on

610
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: the field.

611
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: But I am I am assuming until proven otherwise that

612
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: this time next year we are going to be quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, quarterback,

613
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: and then quarterback.

614
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: At all costs.

615
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: It's like when people in Philadelphia and some of these

616
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: other places that I've worked, it would be like, how

617
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: does how does Pittsburgh rank its teams? Like the Steelers

618
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 2: are number one, but how's it rank after that? I'm like, guys,

619
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: the most popular teams in Pittsburgh are the Steelers. The Steelers.

620
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: The Steelers. Yeah, and then the Steelers, And then you

621
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 2: can start talking about hockey and baseball and some of

622
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: this other stuff. Right, next year it's gonna be quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, quarterback,

623
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: and then quarterback, and then we can start talking about

624
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: something else. It better not be left tackle too, because.

625
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: That's a problem, because it's just too hard to do.

626
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: It's a problem.

627
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. So that's why Fonnu and Max to me are

628
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 3: so attractive.

629
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: That's in my mind here as part of it's a

630
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: it's a big ecosystem of a conversation.

631
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 3: It'll never happen. But if fa New, Max Andvenga are

632
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: all there at twenty one, you're super thrilled, buddy. Yeah,

633
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: that's going to be hard to rank for me. Like

634
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: Venga is going to be the best guard today.

635
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: Venga's going to be probably the best player period today.

636
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I like starting either one of them at

637
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: guard and at least have the option to move them

638
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: to the left tackle.

639
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: Same right, You know what we should do, Maybe in

640
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks write this down for me TV.

641
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: Maybe we could get our buddy Max starks On here

642
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: to talk about that with us.

643
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it'd be right.

644
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: Get somebody offensive line and and uh and and see

645
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: because that that to me, of all the different would

646
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: you rather scenarios for Steelers draft.

647
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: Hypothetical leaning down that path.

648
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: That's maybe the most difficult one is like Venga versus

649
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: Max or Fanu and.

650
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: Side so one of them is there, to be honest.

651
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 2: Someone that could be a Quinton Nelson Zach Martin type

652
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: guard or someone that could potentially be your starting left

653
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: tackle of the future. That's a real that's a real interesting,

654
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: a real substantial ripple effect.

655
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: Would you read I would also want to ask mac

656
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 3: stars about I don't want Fealton who have to go

657
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: to the left, you know, like some of these dudes

658
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: are right tackle only. I'd rather move the rookie than yes,

659
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: the guy that's been really really good.

660
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: Yes, especially if Falton who has an outstanding year.

661
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: Right right, I'm assuming he does, but who knows.

662
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: I'm hey, you know what they say happens when you

663
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: assume right right. But let's just let's just say we're

664
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: cautiously optimistic that, uh, hopefully we've got a top five

665
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 2: right tackle and a top five center for the foreseeable future.

666
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: Here the top five guard wouldn't hurt.

667
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: The top five. Even a top ten guard would go

668
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: a long time.

669
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: Like Maxi Vanu can't stay there their whole career, no doubt. Yeah,

670
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: that could happen too.

671
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 2: No doubt. But then again, then you might be fishing

672
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: in the in the tackle.

673
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: I stress this too much and people get sick of

674
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: me talking about it. But the more I play out

675
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: all these scenarios, I think your draftst goes so much

676
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 3: smoother if you land one of those three at twenty one.

677
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: That's where I'm starting to lead too.

678
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 3: I am you know that thing double down on receiver

679
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: in the day two?

680
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: Hey, it mean to work out?

681
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 3: Do you think your next quarterback would appreciate all those things?

682
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: I sure do?

683
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

684
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: Do you know that famous the famous meme of like

685
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: the guy who's holding his girlfriend's hand looking over his

686
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: shoulder and right he walks by. That's like me, like

687
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 2: holding hands with wide receiver, but looking over my shoulder

688
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: at offensive line.

689
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 3: Just makes a little more sense.

690
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: Right, One more segment to go. Let's close this thing

691
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: done with some tweets before we get up out of here.

692
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: We actually were planning on doing another double tweet, double Twitter,

693
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: double x twitter segment here today, but we mocked it up.

694
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: We mocked it up on this Monday a little bit

695
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: more than we thought we were going to, but that's okay.

696
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: We will get to your questions, comments, concerns, and reactions

697

701
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 4: drafting this year, you do know your watch party's number

702
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 4: one pick. Bud Light, the clean, crisp taste that has

703
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 4: all the scouts talking. Guess that's why it's been the

Speaker 3: eight hours or so saying we love that you guys

718
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 3: close with tweets. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's been cool, and

719
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: it's this time of year.

720
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: It makes it easier fun Ebb and flow because during

721
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: the regular season we do tweets maybe like once a week, yeah,

722
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: because there's just so much to get to and like.

723
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 3: The week after the draft or free agency. I mean,

724
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 3: there's busy times where it's just it's just not gonna

725
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: fit in.

726
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: But this time of year, we love it and you've

727
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 2: all been participating. It's like the in season, you know,

728
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: it's like are kind of like one extra segment a

729
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: week is the around campus conversation. Yeah, yeah, this time

730
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: of year, let's make a tweets. Let's make it participation.

731
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: We never take phone calls on this show, but we

732
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: will always always listen, always always take the tweets, especially

733
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: ones that kind of piggyback off the conversation that we

734
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: were just having, which t Mac says and tweets us.

735
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: It's funny too. We've got we've got a nice group

736
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 2: of kind of like a half dozen or dozen or so,

737
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: just regulars almost every day. I love it. T Mac says,

738
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: our best offensive linemen aren't first rounders. I don't want

739
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: to reach for offensive linemen that don't have first round grades.

740
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: Get wide receivers with first round grades. Metcalfe and Pittman

741
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 2: are nice but getting older and have large cap hits

742
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: for their production. I in general agree with that thought process.

743
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, I'm telling you this right now,

744
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: a lot of these offensive linemen that we've discussed don't

745
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: don't have first round grades.

746
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even care about first round grades.

747
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: Is like the high number one or number two highest

748
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: rated offensive lineman that you see on everybody everybody's big boards.

749
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 3: We've had this discussion a lot that there's never thirty

750
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: two players with first round grades in any draft, no

751
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: matter what it's like.

752
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 2: The wide receiver one conversation, there's not thirty two wide

753
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: receiver ones in the NFL.

754
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 3: And there's fewer this year than ever. I mean with

755
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 3: true first round grades, no matter what year they came

756
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 3: out their first round picks. Venga's definitely one of them.

757
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 3: And if you can get one at twenty one when

758
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 3: there's only eleven in the whole draft, I think you

759
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 3: jump all over that. Now. I'm not even sure Max.

760
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: I would think Vaughan who does, But I'm not sure

761
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: Max would be consensus. You know number ones across the board.

762
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 3: But where I don't get where t Max coming from,

763
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 3: is like our best offensive linemen aren't first round picks. Well,

764
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 3: Zach Frasier isn't a first round pick, Felton who is?

765
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: You know?

766
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: I mean, and I know Broderick Jones, right, hasn't hit,

767
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: But that.

768
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean you stopped taking first round players.

769
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett didn't hit, doesn't mean you stopped taking first

770
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: round quarterbacks.

771
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 3: Right, And the Fraser argument doesn't hold up because there's

772
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 3: only been like one center in ten years. It goes

773
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 3: to the first round. Its Lenderbaum. You know, like centers

774
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 3: don't go in the first I guess there's more than

775
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 3: that there are, but it's rare, like why it's a.

776
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: Presidential cycle or exactly, you get a you get a

777
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: first round center.

778
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 3: So just because you've got a stud center in the

779
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: second round, that's where stud centers go. That's where Creed

780
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 3: Humphrey went. I mean, that's where these guys go. I

781
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 3: don't agree at all that you know, our best guys

782
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 3: aren't first round picks. A who's a monster? Roger Jones

783
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: hasn't worked out yet. Okay, that's the only argument against

784
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 3: it to me, and McCormick's a good player. I mean,

785
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: you can.

786
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: But and I agree with the don't reach for offensive lineman.

787
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: I think so many teams are guilty of that.

788
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 3: That's the only way to get them.

789
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: It's kind of like quarterbacks it is. But again, getting depends.

790
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 3: How far you reach, I guess is really the conversation.

791
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: If we were talking about taking Bistoni's or pregnant in

792
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: the first round, that's a different story total.

793
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: But I promise you making them over Jordan Tyson, Fanu.

794
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: And Venga and these guys they have first round grades.

795
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 3: Don't They're going to go in the first round.

796
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not taking those guys over Jordan Tyson though.

797
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: No, I'm not con pure guards right. Uh.

798
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: Mister Steele City tweets us. I don't know if we've

799
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 2: had a tweet from mister steel City yet. Welcome to

800
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 2: the party, pal. On March twenty third, that's today. What

801
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: would you say or the ideal positions of the top

802
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: five picks, assuming we don't trade back. I'd go two

803
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: wide receivers, one offensive line, one defensive back of one linebacker.

804
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:24,959
Speaker 2: That's a good question for mister Steele.

805
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 3: That's a great question.

806
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: I would go.

807
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: I'd go one O line, two wide receivers, a safety,

808
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 3: and I don't know.

809
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 2: I might go two O line, two wide receivers, a safety.

810
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 3: You could definitely convince me a second D line, I mean,

811
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 3: like a tackle, especially if you go Vanga. Then maybe

812
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: a third round tackle like Bell from Miami or something.

813
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 3: I don't love him, he's just he's definitely a tackle

814
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 3: because Okay, got six nine, you know, I mean somebody

815
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 3: like that. You could also convince me of O line.

816
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 3: If you go O line in round one, you don't

817
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 3: have to do in a second. But then you go

818
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 3: two receivers. I like the defensive back conversation because that

819
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: could be a big slot. It could be safety, but

820
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 3: I would lean towards safety, but that's a broad term nowadays.

821
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 3: And then maybe it's just even best available, because I mean,

822
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if i'd take a running back or

823
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: a tight end, but I mean best available could could

824
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 3: pop up more throughout the course of the Steeler draft

825
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 3: than you think, because there's not a lot of spots

826
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 3: for these guys. I just don't who the D lineman

827
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 3: would be, you know.

828
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: Schardy mcdennis tweets us that's a nice always Sonny in Philadelphia,

829
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: right yea. For those of you out there that know

830
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: and basically wants to know how he did with this

831
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 2: block draft where he essentially traded back from twenty one

832
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: for the Steelers to pick up a bunch of extra

833
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 2: second and third round picks. Ended up with eight picks,

834
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: but part of me between twenty eight and the end

835
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: of the third round. Wow, a couple of trade downs

836
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: and gets Omar Cooper Junior in the first round, Jennings Dunker,

837
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: the guard out of Iowa in the second round, Caleb

838
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 2: Banks in the second round, Zachariah Branch in the second round,

839
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 2: Caleb Tiern, an offensive tackle out of Northwestern, Big Citrus,

840
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 2: Zakey Wheatley, Kyle Lewis, I mean I would, Yeah, I

841
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 2: don't think that's realistic. To get all eight of those guys.

842
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 3: Maybe eight second day guys.

843
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: Is probably like a lot of those names.

844
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 3: And hey, I've been guilty this, Dale and I have

845
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: been guilty of this. You can really finagle some of these.

846
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 3: You trade down, then you trade up, and trade down,

847
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: trade down, trade down. It's not really how the league works,

848
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 3: and that would be all of a sudden, your roster's

849
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 3: really clogged, and day three on a room for anybody.

850
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 3: But I like the idea, don't get me wrong, and

851
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 3: I I play that trick a lot. I did see

852
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 3: this one while I was getting coffee in there. I

853
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 3: clicked on it and you get Banks that late in particular,

854
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 3: It's like.

855
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh, that'd be incredible. Yeah, I mean you could. You

856
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: can get Banks and Kyle Lewis. I mean, yeah, that

857
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: might be a little redundant, but I bet you one

858
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: of those guys, pops.

859
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 3: So this goes against a lot of what I said.

860
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 3: But when we are broadcasting Friday of the draft.

861
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: Come second day two, right, yes, yeah, yeah.

862
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 3: If Banks is sitting there at forty, he's one that

863
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 3: I might push some chips in to go get just

864
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 3: because he's different than everybody else, you know.

865
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 2: And if he needs a year to just learn with

866
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 2: just go hang with camp right right, right right.

867
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 3: I mean I might leave you short. It definitely would

868
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: leave you short somewhere probably a receiver, sure, But that's

869
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: one guy that I if he starts falling, I might

870
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 3: be aggressive.

871
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: For Matt tweets and says with the Steelers having Kyle

872
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: Lewis and Harold Perkins, in for visits. Do you think

873
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: this is for a nickel linebacker position or some kind

874
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: of hybrid position under Patrick Graham. We'll talk a little

875
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: bit more about some of these visits that have been

876
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: reported to tomorrow.

877
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm curious. LSU's pro day was today.

878
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got a couple We actually got a couple

879
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: tweets about Harold Perkins today. I think Sudesh tweeted us

880
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: about him too.

881
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 3: Okay, that could be a tomorrow conversation possibly because he's

882
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: an interesting play and I want to do a little

883
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 3: more work on him. But every pit guy's going to

884
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: come in for a visit at least they better, right,

885
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they're free guys.

886
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 2: In the West Virginia guys levelone one.

887
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a Day two pick. And but that

888
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 3: is a good conversation of a hybrid big nickel linebacker.

889
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: Safety type Graham is hunting.

890
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 3: For the whole league is So, I think you're you're

891
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 3: barking up the right tree here. But Lewis should be coming,

892
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 3: even if you think he's terrible. Yeah, you know what

893
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: I mean, Like he's next stort. Don't don't cost you nothing,

894
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: Don't cost you nothing.

895
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 2: Grab a brew right. Cost you nothing by him lunch

896
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 2: Notorious SMB tweets, don't have a question. Just your podcast

897
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,640

00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,360

Speaker 2: Got a lot of those pretty cool.

902

00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: He might be pretty good at talking.

912
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and those guys want calling.

913
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 2: We're all yours, Rocky Blyer Sure. RJ tweets it says

914
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: thanks for doing the tweet segment every day, gentlemen. Love

915
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: for all of us getting to be part of the show.

916
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 2: The Draft is one month away, dude, that is crazy.

917
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 3: Wow, it's already that's.

918
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 2: Right, good call, RJ. Where would you guys rank it

919
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 2: as a sporting event on the sports calendar? I absolutely

920
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 2: love it is saying it's a top ten sporting event

921
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 2: too rich. Top ten might be a little too rich.

922
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 3: But if you're he's saying that the draft, he asked, Yeah,

923
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 3: if it's my favorite, it's better than the super Bowl.

924
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 2: But so for me, the Draft is a lot of

925
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: fun until we get to Saturday, and then I'm like, okay,

926
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 2: come on, this is a little not that there's not

927
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 2: important picks and players and all that.

928
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 3: But as much as I'm on the air, it can

929
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 3: be a challenge. It's a lot of coffee involved, you know.

930
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: I I don't want to sound like the sixty. I

931
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: don't want to sound like the Dean of Doom, the

932
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 2: lord of living in my fears and get off my lawn.

933
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 2: But three days of the NFL Draft feels like we're

934
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 2: stretching it pretty thin if it was Friday Saturday or

935
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: Thursday Friday. But that's that's just me. If you if

936
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: you love it, I am not knocking it. I mean,

937
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl to me is obviously better. The Stanley

938
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 2: Cup and the World Series are better. March Madness is better,

939
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: the World Cup is better, Olympics are better. But I

940
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 2: mean that's only like five or six that I named there,

941
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 2: so maybe it is. Maybe it is in the top ten.

942
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 3: It's my number one.

943
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: The Masters. To me, I'd rather watch the Masters and

944
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 2: just read the names that were drafted, because that's the thing.

945
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: Is there drama in suspense? Yes, But if you were

946
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 2: to just wake up the next day and read the

947
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 2: names from the draft, yes, did you really miss that much?

948
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: No? You did, You could analyze it just the same.

949
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 2: Now I realized, as someone who sits in my seat,

950
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 2: I probably should be lying and not giving you the honesty.

951
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 2: But that's not what I do here.

952
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: It's my favorite. It's number one.

953
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: That's what it is.

954
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 3: Doing the show with you, Like I think it's a

955
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 3: distant one.

956
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 2: I think you and I have a good Yin and yang,

957
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: a good say zag, a good peanut butter and jelly

958
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 2: with some of these things.

959
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no other sport that I would put

960
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 3: even close. I mean, like the Steelers were in the

961
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 3: super Bowl. I guess that's debatable, but it's number one.

962
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 3: I love it, Matt, even day three. I mean, if

963
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 3: we even broke them down by days, day three of

964
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: the draft would be in my top ten. Day one

965
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: would be number one, Day two would be Day two,

966
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 3: might be better. Believe this man, he'd rather watch that

967
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 3: the Masters or Wimbledon or Matt Matt Manley Cup Final.

968
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 3: Yes he answers one hundred.

969
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 2: Yes, and more power to you. But it is it's

970
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: it's it's a commissioner or it's not even sporting veteran

971
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: reading names from Okay, it's not really even sports.

972
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: I tell you, I mean, no one's doing anything athletic.

973
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to share this story and unfortunately this is

974
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 2: going to be the.

975
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 3: Matches more athletic than watching the draft.

976
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 2: Sure I've I've told you before how my sophomore in

977
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 2: junior year of college, I lived with two guys that

978
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 2: were on the w rugby team, Ry Ryan and Bryan,

979
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 2: two of my best friends still to this day. Shout

980
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: out to them if they're listening, but probably not because

981
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 2: unfortunately for them, they're an Eagles and Giants fan. I

982
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: through that there was always a couple kids on the

983
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: rugby team that were from Australia, were from English, you

984
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Yeah, And so those guys would

985
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: hang out with us and I get to be buddies

986
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: with them and all that stuff. I'll never forget.

987
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 3: They see the world a little different.

988
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: They see the world much different, particularly from a sporting perspective.

989
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: I'll never forget this would have been like twenty ten

990
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 2: or twenty eleven, so.

991
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 3: In the way that anybody cared about the draft.

992
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 2: It's April, yeah, on a college campus. The weather has

993
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: fully turned. It's spring. If you went to college, you

994
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. Everyone's out on their front

995
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 2: porch drinking beers and having a good time. And let's

996
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 2: go to the beer garden and let's have some fun.

997
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 2: And it's been a long winter. Let's get out in

998
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 2: the sunshine. And me and all my buddies are like,

999
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 2: back inside to watch the draft, dude. And then we

1000
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 2: all go rolling inside to watch the draft and one

1001
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 2: of one of the English guys, I'll never forget this.

1002
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 2: He was like, I don't understand what all the fuss is.

1003
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: He's like, this is what it is. For four hours,

1004
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 2: We're just gonna sit here and watch watch a bloke

1005
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: read names from a podium.

1006
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 3: It's exactly what he's like.

1007
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: I thought this draft was like a big deal. It's

1008
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: just a guy reading names from a note card from

1009
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: a pudget for four hours. In the older I get

1010
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: the more and more I think he's kind of right now.

1011
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 2: I still love it. It's still drama, it's still great,

1012
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, but it's it. I am my

1013
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: first Saturday. When we get on air, I'll be like,

1014
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 2: all right, come on, let's get let's get through this

1015
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 2: year and get to some real OTAs in mini camp,

1016
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 2: in real football.

1017
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 3: I mean, like my first draft that I spent with

1018
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 3: my now wife, wonderful woman of thirty years or whatever,

1019
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 3: going back to dating and whatnot. I told her, I'm

1020
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,959
Speaker 3: like back then, I'm like, I'm not going to sleep

1021
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 3: the night before the draft. I can sleep Christmas Eve,

1022
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 3: but even when I was a kid, but I can't

1023
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 3: sleep the night before the draft, even when I was eight.

1024
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 3: And you might as well not even be around anywhere

1025
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 3: near me this weekend because I'm not going to You

1026
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 3: could be saying anything in my ear and I won't

1027
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 3: hear you you at all.

1028
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: I love it, right, I love it.

1029
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 3: This is easily number one on my list, way better

1030
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 3: than Game seven, any stupid NBA or and yeah.

1031
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: Hey you are. You could be wrong. It's fun. I'll

1032
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 2: just that's why I love doing this with you. I've

1033
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 2: said this before and I'm sure hopefully We'll be doing

1034
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 2: this for a long time together, and I'll say it

1035
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: many more times. In the areas that you and I

1036
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 2: are similar, we are very similar. And in the areas

1037
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 2: that were different, we're very difficult.

1038
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: Oh, we should be right, and your English folks are right.

1039
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 3: It is just an old man at the capodium or

1040
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 3: reading read enough guards.

1041
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 2: I think when I'm seventy five, I'll still I'll still

1042
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 2: hear the voice. This is it. It's just a bloke

1043
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 2: reading names from a note called it at a podium

1044
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 2: for four hours the way you said it to Pogium.

1045
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: It's really about twenty hours.

1046
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And for like the first ten or twelve hours,

1047
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: I love it, and then I'm like, all right, let's

1048
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: let's get moving here. That was a really it was

1049
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 2: a good, good one to close this down. We got

1050
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of tweets we didn't get to. We'll we'll

1051
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 2: do some more double tweet segments there.

1052
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna this week.

1053
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do, especially this time. I don't want that

1054
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 2: to go unnoticed. We do really appreciate it when it's

1055
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 2: a little bit more difficult to come up with some content.

1056
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 2: We were very thankful for everyone's participation that will do

1057
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: it for us today. We'll be back tomorrow. Big thanks
