1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: So we we were busy. You know, I'm I'm learning 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: to make right turns in Nasca and UM, so we 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: traded back to fifty. We've got a third round, uh, 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: picking twenty two and UH and picked up as these 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: ogularry who we had, who's a really thrilled to get. 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 1: He's an edge pass rusher, he's instinctive, he's very bright. Um, 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: he plays had and he's got he's excuse me, he's 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: got pass rush ability. And he's also the solid run player. 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: We're really really thankful to get him. And then in 10 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: the third round we swapped spots with them. We want 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: to move up, but obviously we're working on defense today. 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: And and we picked Aaron Robinson, who's a who's a nickel, 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: who's got the ability to play nickel lean outside the perimeter, 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: and he's an excellent tackler, ball hawk, you know, he's 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: got all this stuff. So we're really we're really pleased 16 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: to get these two kids in our program. Questions and 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: Game the Athletic. Hey, Dave, first of all, do you 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: ever think you get addicted to trading back? You know, 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: let me tell you something, Dan, You never know, you 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: never know, you know, listen, it's all about what if 21 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: the opportunity is right, It's about your board, it's about value, 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: meeting need, it's all those things. And uh, like I 23 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: told you guys last week, I've tried in the past 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: and it just had you know, it just hadn't worked. 25 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: And we felt we got you know, just really good 26 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: value here. And you know, again it's it's one of 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: those deals where you know, so you take, for example, 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: we moved from forty two back to fifty, so that's 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: eight slots, and we had five guys there that we 30 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: would take it fifty, you know, so you know, you 31 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: and the odds are it's eight slots, it's five guys. 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: There's gonna be somebody that one of those five is 33 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: gonna be their flight. So we we've just been able 34 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: to do that. And then, you know, with the value 35 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: we had on on errand I I just didn't want 36 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: to sit and wait. You know, we just felt I mean, 37 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: he's he's a press conn I'll let Joe elaborate, but 38 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: he's a press Conna and really fits what we do, 39 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: what we want to do, who we want to be 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: on defense, and uh, you know, Dan, it's just having 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: the opportunity and and you know how it's how your 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: board lines up and and just a fall off. I 43 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: may just was getting pigs a priority or is that 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: just sort of how things should shuk out? You know, 45 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: I'd be allan to be I would be lying if 46 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: I said it wasn't a priority. It was important to us. Zach, 47 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: Zach Rose and black j dot Com. Hey Zack, Hey, 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: how's it going, Dave? I was wondering, Um, what what 49 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: are you? What was going through Hea when you saw 50 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: it as he's kind of kept falling. He obviously was 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: valued by a lot of a lot of people as 52 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: the first round pick. I'm just curious, like what what 53 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: what your thought process was when you saw him dropping 54 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: and and how how easy of aim picked that was? 55 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: In the second round? He What I'm gonna say to you, Zack, 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: you have to have confidence in your ability to evaluate players, 57 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: so you just turn around and and and just people 58 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: are missing it for whatever reason. Um, and uh, it 59 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: didn't scare us. That's for Don Shaw. We're thrilled together him. 60 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: I just you know, it's it's it's kind of the 61 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: same thing when when people cut a player. You know, 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: the the the and the the instinct is to say, 63 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: what's wrong. My attitude is, you know, they made you know, 64 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: maybe they made a mistake. So it's it's one of 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: those deals where you know, the fact that disease was 66 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: dropping did not impact us at all in terms of 67 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: our opinion of his of his playing ability and what 68 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: he could do for us. Okay, Matt Lombardo fastied it 69 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: that Dave has gone. Good man, how are you, sir? 70 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: Good good? You guys have invested some real resources in 71 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: the secondary since last year the draft picks you brought 72 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: in Bradberry obviously this year with the Dory and that 73 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: and Robinson. How does Aaron fit in there? And how 74 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: much closer do you think you are to being a 75 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: finished product on the back end? After all? Well, you know, 76 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: the the where excuse me, where Aaron fits in is 77 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: he gives us more perimindal muscle, so to speak. And 78 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: he's also got that flexibility to to play the nickel 79 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: and play the stat So it's it's we think he's 80 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: a great fit, you know, obviously because we traded up 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: hello stating the obvious captain obvious. You know, we just 82 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: think he's you know, he's he's in a great fit 83 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: for our defense and for our back end, and we 84 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, you can never have too many 85 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: assets back there because you know, players come and go, 86 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: you have injuries. You know. Again, it's it's it's you know, 87 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: people will say it's a passing league, and it is 88 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: to a degree. And uh, the other thing that we 89 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: really liked about Aaron is, you know, you know, you 90 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: do the studies, you do the analytics. I do do 91 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: it people, and uh, you know, the best defenses have 92 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: the best tackling secondaries, and Aaron Robinson is a really 93 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: good tackling Kanna. Let's take two more Tom Rock Push Horse, 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: Tom Rock News Day Dave was was a z is 95 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: going to be the pick at forty two if you 96 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 1: couldn't trade it? And was Robinson one of the five 97 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: guys who you thought would be there at fifty when 98 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: when you did get there? Yes, yes, the goal. That's good. 99 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: That was a good short answer that you know. I 100 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: can ask a follow up. You said that getting picks 101 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: for next year was important to us. Why is that 102 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: this seems like a team that's poised to make a 103 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: jump in one. Why are you so uh, why is 104 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: it so important to get those picks for the future. Well, 105 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, as we said, I think I said this 106 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: at at the at the pre draft presser. You know this, 107 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: this draft right now, this is a it's in terms 108 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: of unknowns, this is you have more runknowns and you 109 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: can shake a stick at you have kids that didn't 110 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: play this year. You have a lot of complete medical information. 111 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: So it's it's really kind of an odd draft class. 112 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: It's an odd year. The n C double A allowed 113 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: all those players to get another year, and a ton 114 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: of them did so. For example, there was one of 115 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: the SEC schools they had thirteen kids decide to go 116 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: back and play next year, the thirteen kids that could 117 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: have been in this draft, and that and that was 118 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: you know, pretty heavy throughout you know, the Power five Conferences. 119 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: So you know, we really, you know, just we really 120 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: have a feeling that next year's draft is going to 121 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: be really strong and it just gives you options. Last one, 122 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: last one here Poshwartz, New York Post, Hey, Dave, Hey, Paul, 123 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: how are you doing good? Good? Um? You didn't take 124 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: an offensive lineman in the first two days? Is that 125 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: because I mean, obviously the board in need and you 126 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: think maybe there's guys in the fourth or fifth round 127 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: you can get But is it also indicate that you 128 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: like a lot of the guys on your team and 129 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: you don't have to you know, force anything. No. Actually, 130 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: we were looking at offensive lineman in the last two 131 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: for the last two picks, and the guys the value 132 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: didn't meet the pick. Playing it simple. We had one 133 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: guy we had our eye on, and you know one 134 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: two guys specifically we had our eyes on, and they 135 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: got taken before we before they got to us. So no, 136 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: it's it's you know where you you always want to add, 137 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: you know, you always want competition, Paul, You know it's 138 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: it's it's whether you draft a position or not has 139 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: nothing to do with your how happy you are with 140 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: that position. It has everything to do with the draft 141 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: value at the time you're picking.
