WEBVTT - NFL Draft Triple Take (Three Round Mock Draft), March 30, 2025

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of Triple Take,

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:14.920
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by up MC Mike Pursuda, joined as

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>always on these programs by Dale Lawley and Matt Williamson.

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Matt and Dale are your drive tag team on SNR.

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>You can also catch their work on the Steelers Audio

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Network and Steelers dot com. You can find me on

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers Audio Network and Steelers dot com. But we're

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:38.919
<v Speaker 1>here today for a specific purpose, not just to talk

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>about the draft, which we have been doing for a

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>while now, but this is our three round for a

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>into the draft. We're not gonna pick the entire league,

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>but we are gonna go three rounds with the Steelers

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and Dale. Right now, there are only two picks for

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers in the first three rounds.

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>But we can change that, can't We.

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 3>Can make something happen there. And we still have k

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 3>Metcalf in our back pocket here.

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 4>But you know, when you forget, we have DK Metcalf RT.

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the only have the two draft picks right now.

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 3>We could change that and you still got DK Metcalf.

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing that a change is going to be forthcoming.

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>But before we get to the festivities, I want to

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>remind everyone the opinions that we are about to express

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and the actions we are about to take are ours,

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>not those of the Pittsburgh Steelers. So keep that in

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>mind as you delve into what you are about to receive.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's get that trade done, Dale, all right.

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.199
<v Speaker 3>So we're running a little handy dandy simulator here, draft simulator,

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 3>and the first twenty picks are in. So we're on

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 3>the clock and we have six trade offers.

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 4>Guys, okay the best.

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 3>So you got teams that are interested Houston at twenty five,

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Detroit at twenty eight, Washington at twenty nine, and then

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 3>three teams that are in the second round. I'm not

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 3>necessarily interested in trading out of the first round.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>But we are interested in getting into second round.

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 4>I would like that. And so you got swing it.

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, If you get the Detections at twenty five,

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 3>the Lions at twenty eight, and the Commander's at twenty nine,

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 3>it's just a matter of how far do we want

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 3>to move back and still think that we can get

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 3>a player that we like here.

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>So we have options wise, man, Yes, never move back

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and trade.

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Away from a player you'd want. They're we can move

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>multiple players yes, there's a lot of to be Okay,

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>so what we would like to do.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 4>We could talk to Houston first.

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Houston has picked twenty five, fifty eight, seventy nine and

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 3>eighty nine, and.

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 4>They made that Tounsil trade. They got all kinds of.

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Feah, they've got firepower to come up. So we're obviously

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 3>going to offer twenty one. They would obviously offer twenty five.

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 3>Can we get fifty eight from them?

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 4>No, we are saying that.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 5>They are saying no, I'd be interested in moving next

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 5>year's third because the Steelers right now are set up

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 5>really really well with picks next year.

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 4>Is that something they might be very interested in in theory?

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 3>In theory, they would they would accept twenty five and

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 3>fifty or twenty five and seventy nine for twenty one.

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Seventy nine is not in the set.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 3>That's a that's a there, I guess they're normal or no,

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 3>they get that. That's the pick they.

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 4>Got from some probably from Washington through Miami.

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so it's basically be Miami's third round pick. So

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 3>we'd have two third round picks.

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 4>And move back four spots and then move back four.

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Spots and still probably get a player that.

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Do we not have a second round option.

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 4>We can try and say, what if we traded with Detroit.

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>So if we do it, we do a deal with

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the Detroit.

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 3>Detroit's got twenty eight and sixty, we.

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 4>Might be able to get them to do that.

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Should I offer that offer that because.

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 3>If I offer it and they take it, it's done.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 3>They did not take that off as well.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 5>If we sprinkle in a late round pick, throw a

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 5>six or a fifth or something their way.

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 3>But throw in the our pick at one eighty five,

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 3>they accepted that. Okay, So what we ended up ving

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 3>toil twenty one and one eighty five for twenty.

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Eight and sixty.

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Well they moved back seven spots. Yeah, there was

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 5>a handful of names I liked.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 4>When you read them off.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Says the players, it just went. We lost out on

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 3>a chance to get Walter Nolan.

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 4>He let me, he's off the board. That was my

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 4>favorite target, Ye'll be honest.

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.559
<v Speaker 3>Amar and Hampton went to the Baltimore Ravens at twenty seven.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Sounds very ravenish. Yeah.

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 3>So now we're looking here, we're at twenty eight and

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Derek Harmon is still there. Kay, Malachi Starks still there

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 3>which is kind of surprising. Luther burd and James Pierce,

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Colston Loveland, Nick Scalerton, Darius Alexander.

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>The quarterbacks are still there.

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:49.359
<v Speaker 4>To me.

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 5>I think Harmon's from Harmon stands out to me in

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 5>terms of what you need. I'd love the groom, a

0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 5>talented young upfield guy, while Cam Hayward is still here.

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Let me just ask you, guys a question that was

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>once asked famously in Steeler's history.

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Are you sure you don't want to take the quarterback?

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I am because I don't necessarily like that quarterback in

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 3>the first round.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm not reaching for a quarterback. I just won't do it. Yeah,

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm not thrilled with that situation either.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.040
<v Speaker 5>I just have some doubts about Dart, and I really

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 5>think he needs a year.

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go on a record and say that's not

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>what I would do, but you would take Dart here.

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.119
<v Speaker 2>I'll acquiesce to the will of the group.

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, at some points you do have to replace,

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily replaced now, but you do have to address

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 3>replacing Cam Hayward in a near future.

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 4>And I think Derek Harmon gives you a potential to

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 4>do that.

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 3>He's got the prerequisite size thirty five inch arms production

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 3>at a major college, very disruptive.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>Two major colleges.

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. One.

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 3>And I'm working on the assumption here that by the

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 3>time rolls around at the end of April, that's gonna

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 3>be a quarterback. Okay, doesn't mean you don't take another

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 3>quarterback somewhere else in this draft.

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 2>It's a bull move. Let's see how it plays off

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 2>for you.

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 4>Derek Carmon is the pit.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Derek Carmon is to pick on Round one defensive

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>tackle and uh and a really good player, guy who

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 1>went from Michigan State to Oregon and really found his game. Yeah,

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 1>lost some weight, uh, better people around him, bigger circumstances,

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and he really rose to the occasion.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 5>I thought, Yeah, they have a nose tackle too in

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.239
<v Speaker 5>this draft that I like quite a bit. That also,

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 5>Dale and I do this a lot, and I don't

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 5>know that we are out of the nose tackle market

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 5>at this point too. You can add two to the

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 5>to a really rich group of defensive tackles overall. I

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 5>would consider that maybe in round three.

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>The other thing I like about Harmon is he's not

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>necessarily a SAS guy, but he's a generate pressure guy.

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.479
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and you can use that. Gets his hands on again.

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 3>There's thirty five inch arms show up, that's balls and

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 3>does all that stuff.

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 2>It's he's a good football player.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So Derek Carmon, it is on round one and

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>let's fast forward now to the back end sixty.

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Now the pick that we just picked up for moving

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 3>back and still getting harmon.

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 2>The players available here.

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 3>Top players available Demetrius Knight, junior linebacker out of South Carolina.

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 4>Jaden Higgins wide receiver out of Iowa feeling.

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Very good player.

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Quinn Shaw Judkins running back out of Ohio State, Shamar

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Turner defensive lineman from Texas A and m Elijah Rojo

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 3>tight end out of Miami. Arianta Ursery offensive tackle out

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 3>of Minnesota. Omar Norman Lott defensive lineman out of Tennessee.

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:43.239
<v Speaker 3>You got Dylan Sampson running back out of Tennise, Tennessee

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 3>as well, so back to back Tennessee's there. Kyle Kinnard,

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 3>edge rusher out of South Carolina.

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 4>He's an interesting guy.

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Six to eighty five, but we already took a defensive

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 3>end there. Benjamin Morrison, the cornerback at of Notre Dame CJ.

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>West nose tackle.

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 3>That's a true nose tackle out of Indiana, as is

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Alfred Collins from Texas. And that's Traveon Henderson there. So

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 3>there's some good names to choose from here. At the

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 3>sixtieth there's a handful that stick out to me.

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 5>Is I know, we just took a defensive lineman, but

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 5>Alfred Collins is a much different type. He's the Plodi Nada,

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 5>you know, Vita vea nose tackle type and really could

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.239
<v Speaker 5>attack your defensive line. I like both Ohio State running

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 5>backs just kind of this. You know, what style do

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 5>you want? You want the bruiser or the breakaway guy.

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 5>And Higgins still being there from Iowa State, a big receiver,

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 5>I mean, really double down on attacking wide receiver.

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know that's a need. But I'm kind

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 4>of shocked he's there and nice to mix him in.

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I am a huge fan of Quinn Shawn Judkins at

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>this point.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I got no problem with that at all.

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Two and twenty one pounds.

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>He ran a four point four to eight unofficial at

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the combine. I forget what his official was.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 3>In one thousand yard back all three seasons in college, it.

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>In the SEC, did it in the Big ten Mississippi transfer.

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a tremendous player. I think he's the

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>better of the two Ohio State running backs.

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 2>No offense to.

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 5>Henderson, especially for the Steelers and big back.

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>By the way, it's a position in need, it is.

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be a nice trade off if you

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>go deep tackle in the first round to address that

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>deficiency in the backfield. I like the change of pacebacks

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 1>they have in game.

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Well and Warren, but you need that thumper guy.

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 3>He's your every down, he's got.

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Breakaway home run in.

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't fight you at all on it. I'm pretty

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 4>happy he's sitting there.

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 3>State running back running back, which again shows you the

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 3>value of that move back. Yep, in the first round

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 3>you get back into that second round. If we wait

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 3>until the third round to take a running back, we're

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 3>not touching a.

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Guy like that, and particularly if you're not going to

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>take a quarterback in round one, moving back makes even

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 1>more sense.

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, all right.

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Here, huh, that's a nice day too, you know, first

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 3>two round haul here and we've got another pick coming

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.839
<v Speaker 3>up here at eighty three. Now that now, if you

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 3>want to start looking at a quarterback. Okay, you know

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 3>you don't need them to start this year. Somebody that

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 3>you can develop, you know. See what's what's there?

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's see what the the simulator tells.

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Us that the simulator is saying.

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 3>At eighty three, the players available to us Ozzie Trapeo,

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:29.840
<v Speaker 3>offensive tackle out of Boston College, Jordan Phillips, nose tackle

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 3>out of Maryland, Jared Wilson the center out of Georgia,

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Kevin Winston, safety out of Penn State. R J. Harvey,

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 3>running back at a UCF. Jalen Noel the other wide

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 3>receiver at the Iowa State.

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>That's a good player.

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 3>Jonas Iavania, offensive tackle out of Arizona. He might have

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 3>kicked in the guard. DJ Giddon's running back out of

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 3>k State. Jalen Royals, wide receiver at a Utah State. Uh,

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Saveon Williams is there the wide receiver at a TCU.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I just want to look here.

0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 3>We got Charles Grant and Anthony Belton, the two offensive tackles,

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 3>one from william and Murray one North Carolina State at

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 3>their quarterback position. If you wanted to jump into that mix,

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 3>here you're looking at will Howard is there, Riley Leonard,

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:26.839
<v Speaker 3>Dylan Gabriel Quin, Yours, tom Acord, Tyler Shock still there.

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 5>You know my feelings on Tyler Shock. I'm a big,

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 5>big fan. I mean, I know he's over aged. I

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 5>think he's super talented. I'm also a little shocked Noel

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 5>still there.

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the one that jumped out of me, right.

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I know the wide receiver has already been addressed, but

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>you tend to run out, yeah, and that tends to

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.679
<v Speaker 1>be a real problem when you run out, as the

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Steelers found out last year.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>So I would throw my hat into the ring for

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Noel here.

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 4>I was pretty happy to see him available.

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 5>To be honest with you, good football players, I kind

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 5>of went into this draft process, especially after the Metcalf trade,

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 5>saying I don't really need another smallish receiver with Wilson

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.959
<v Speaker 5>and Austin on board. But he's a tackle breaker, he's

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 5>a punt returner, he's.

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Pretty thickly felt like a running back.

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 5>He's a great tester. He's a really good football player.

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm a little shocked he's there.

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, speed guy, return skills, confident guy, considers himself a

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 3>student of the game.

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>He had a quote that jumped out at me on

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Network during the Senior Bowl coverage. He said,

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>if you want a guy who's going to be in

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the right place at the right time and make smart

0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>decisions at all time, all times, that I'm your guy.

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I like those chists.

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Yet the tag team thing he had going with Higgins.

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Obviously he can work in tandem with other players at

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the position. And again, h when when George Pickens got

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.199
<v Speaker 1>hurt last year, it was problematic to say the least.

0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Obviously it has been addressed since then. But can't have

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>too many. It's like pitching right.

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.319
<v Speaker 4>Dale, can't have too many any and I agree.

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 3>My only question would be do we do we do that?

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Over the quarterback? Did you?

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously Shuck is still there. Matt and I

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 3>are both big shuck guys. Shuck guys, I do see.

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 3>You know there's some other guys here, some later round

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 3>guys at that quarterback position.

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Maybe you take one in round four.

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 5>I have no qualms with Noel. I mean, I think

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 5>he could also be an outside guy. Austin can as well.

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 5>You have those two skyscrapers on the outside too already.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.679
<v Speaker 5>He'd probably battle right away for slot duties.

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 4>And I just think he's too good to.

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Be special teams guys.

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think the quarterbacks there'll be some down the line.

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay, it might even that's your project.

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean you can get one eventually, but I

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't mind bringing a young army.

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I would get a contributor now versus project. It is.

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 2>It is his third round.

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 3>If you're going to take a project quarterback, third round

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 3>is you're expecting to get a starter there.

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 4>So I'm with you, aren't Jalen know?

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.599
<v Speaker 2>L it is? I think jalenel Okay, So would we

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.079
<v Speaker 2>end up trading again? Let's summarize for the good folks.

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we moved back with the Well, here's the trade.

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 3>It was with the Lions. We got twenty.

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Eight and sixty four picks.

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 4>Twenty one and one five.

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Which is a six round pick, and that moved us

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 3>back to number twenty eight. We took Derek Harmon, defensive

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 3>lineman out of Oregon, and we went off to someone.

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 4>I would consider it twenty one. Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely.

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Then we worked offense.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 3>We took Quid Shawn Judkins with that sixtieth pick that

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.680
<v Speaker 3>we picked up by moving back, and then at picked

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 3>eighty three, which is our normal third round pick. We

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 3>got Jalen Noel, the wide receiver out of Iowa State.

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 5>I think it's pretty clear they're trying to become more

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 5>explosive on offense, and I think we just helped them

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 5>with this running back and receiver.

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 2>We absolutely just helped them.

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Of course, easies.

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 1>You just set you're bored that the picks almost picked themselves.

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 4>That's the way any hard decisions.

0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, you can love a guy as much as

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 3>you want, that doesn't mean he's going to fall to you.

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 3>In this instance, we had some guys fall to us

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 3>that I like a lot, and I think we loved.

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 2>We all had likes.

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not necessarily true love, but yeah, plenty to choose from.

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Plenty to choose from, and this worked out well.

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 4>The trade down helped quite a bit too.

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 2>All Right.

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope that gives people some insight into how the

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 1>draft is going to play out exactly as we have

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 1>just portrayed here.

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Now, this was a fun exercise.

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>What we did here was come up with what Matt Williamson,

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Dale Lawley and myself might pursue. What we think this

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>is not what the Steelers are going to do well.

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if it is, it's a complete coincidence. These

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 1>are our opinions and our actions, is what I'm trying

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to stress to you, as they always are in this

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 1>type of programming on all of the Steelers' social media platforms.

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>So if you liked it, thank you for finding us.

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>We're going to have more of this stuff coming before

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Draft.

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 2>In late April. Until then, for Matt Williamson and.

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Dale Lawley, Mike Pursuda, this has been the NFL Triple Take,

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by up MC.

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for watching.
