WEBVTT - The Audible Ep. 109 | Draft Preview: The Offense 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.080 I here we are again, Kimbo Campberg, John Jemmy with 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:10.680 you our edition of the audible coming up the John, 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.760 we're itching closer to the draft. We've been talking about 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.639 free agency the Dolphins. I think we're all kind of 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.120 in unison and this one, at least when the people 0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.840 I've spoken to feeling pretty good about what Chris Greer 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:26.680 uh and Brian Flores and the scouting staff were able 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.680 to do in free agency to really fill a lot 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.120 of holes and really put the Dolphins in a pretty 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.000 good position with the draft coming up and all the 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:41.000 selections that that they have to uh to to really 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.680 kind of pinpoint some areas. And now there's I know 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.040 there's the and I don't know that they're doing it 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.400 this year, John, but every year they do the the 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.720 every team does the you know, the head coach and 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.760 the general manager comes out and gives their pre draft 0:00:54.840 --> 0:01:00.800 and never tells you anything and and moving on. But uh, 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.520 you know, I think this week, if you I mean 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.520 this time, if if if they were to do that, 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.200 I think the one thing that this team would be 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.200 able to say would be John. They put they put 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.880 themselves in pretty good position where and I know the 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.960 old saying, as well, you know, draft the best player available, 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.080 no matter what position he is. And I understand that, 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.000 and I hear I've heard that over and over again, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.360 but I still find it hard to believe the team 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.279 that has a deficiency a big deficiency in one area, 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.240 especially where the Dolphins are now, with what they've done 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.919 in free agency, with all the draft capital that they've got, 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.199 that they don't look a little bit more intently on 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:43.360 positions as long as that guy is is is not 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:48.040 head and shoulders below that best athlete available. Well, I 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.120 agree with you, though, in terms of the Dolphins put 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.400 themselves in position to focus in on where they're glaring 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.080 deficiencies are. Now. Through free agency, they were able to 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.920 bolster the defensive side of the football. They were also 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.240 able to help a certain position on offense along the 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.320 offensive line. And now you go back and you say, 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.880 you're still in the same position you were in, but 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.880 you're you're more focused in on maybe a couple of 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.239 position instead of the entire roster. I still think that 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.160 they will pay attention to defense, but I would expect 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:25.480 the Dolphins to be overly uh exuberant on the offensive 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.120 side of the football when it comes to quarterback, when 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.079 it comes still the edge of the offensive line, when 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:32.800 it comes to running back, and when it comes to 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.320 a receiver or two. I still think you're going to 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.200 get people in this draft that score points that make 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.040 the scoreboard light up a little bit more in keeping 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.079 people from getting into the end zone now and saying 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.000 that they have fourteen picks currently, So if you went 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.040 seven and seven uh in the picks or eight on 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.720 offense and six on defense, I think it's gonna be 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.959 somewhere in the middle because you still need guys that 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.880 are gonna be able to go down and run and tackle, 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.840 run and hit on special teams. And with the certain 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.639 selections you've made in free agency, you'd like to keep 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.840 those guys off as many teams as you can because 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.360 you want them playing more defensive snaps. So you're still 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.520 gonna need guys that can run and hit, and that 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.080 means linebackers, that means safeties, and might mean another corner. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.600 But I would expect this this focus to be especially 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.560 in the draft on the offensive side. So John, a 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.600 while back, we talked about going into the off season 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.640 with the with the draft situation prior prior to free agency, 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.560 and we both talked about what our priorities were, and 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.480 you know, most of our priorities at that point, we're 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:44.440 certainly quarterback the priority, tackles a priority, but beyond quarterback, 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.880 our priorities kind of were were more shifted to that 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.240 defensive side of the football. Where were you gonna find 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.280 another quarterback opposite X? What are you gonna do about 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.400 the edge rushers? What about that linebacker that can do 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.520 multiple things for you? And so you know, we're kind 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.080 of on on that mode now afterwards. I'm with you 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.080 when I look at, you know, my my areas of 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.200 need going into the draft, as we're getting closer and closer, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.480 they've shifted more to the offense. And I still I 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.960 would still put in and I'll ask you if you're 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.279 you're getting put here, but I would put, you know, 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.320 quarterbacks still at the top of my list. I just 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.520 I just think that you know that that, uh, you're 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.080 in a situation where you can go and go after 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:31.320 a quarterback high and and you still have a little 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.640 bit of a safety net if this guy doesn't work. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.600 You still got a couple of first round picks next 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.120 year that you may have the opportunity to reload and 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.880 and and grab another one out there. But but but 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:50.040 but still quarterback is no doubt priority number one to 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.120 walk away from this draft with one of those guys 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.320 that can come even compete. But I think after that, John, 0:04:55.360 --> 0:05:02.280 to me, it's tackle tackle um for running back, UM, 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.120 maybe another edge rusher, uh and then and then maybe 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.560 a wide receiver. You know, you talked about getting explosive 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.680 guys that can score points. You know, I think especially 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.480 when we've seen over the last couple of years, when 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.520 you've had multiple injuries and the wide receivers about two 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.120 years ago was Jachim and Albert Wilson. Last year it 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:26.039 was it was Williams and uh who and and and 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.920 Albert and Albert got Albert was slow, slow coming back 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.159 from from his injury. And so it kind of leads 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.919 you to believe that maybe somewhere down the road, maybe 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.560 uh maybe one of those one of your second round 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.400 picks or a third round kick, maybe you don't try 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.600 to scoop up, you know, one of those wide receivers, 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.560 because there are a lot of wide receivers out there. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.080 But I think that's kind of where my priorities have 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.559 have shifted to a couple of weeks before the draft 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.480 rolls around. I tend to agree with you again, though 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.640 only because I do believe there's a huge safety net 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.880 in next year's draft with with two first round selection 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.200 in two seconds, you know you you have the wherewithal 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.159 to come away with a Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.360 because you have that firepower just as you do this year. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.480 If you feel like Joe Burrows, you'r a guy and 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.800 you want to go get them. Uh and and you're 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.839 and you're gonna scoop up a bunch of picks next 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.160 year and you're gonna have your quarterback of the future. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.240 And if you stand pad it five and you're able 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.000 to get to or you're able to get Herbert, I 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.760 think I think you're gonna, you know, still have money 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.440 in the bank to go up and get a guy 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.800 that you want to get next year if if you 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:37.279 deem that necessary. But after the quarterback position, offensive tackle 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.960 at number eighteen is paramount. I mean, I don't see 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.880 any any other position that's gonna need more attention than 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.919 your offensive line. And I think you're gonna have to 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.760 go grab a tackle or two. Now, that doesn't mean 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.120 both picks need to be in the first round, but 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.880 it's sure better be high in the second because you 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.719 don't want to water down to the you know, the 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.720 fourth round and kind of cross your fingers and hope 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.919 a guy comes through. Because there is a lot of 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.760 talent on the offensive line and and there's a lot 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.520 of talent, you know at receiver. You mentioned, you know, 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.840 scooping up a guy maybe in the second or third 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:15.160 round that can fit the slot receiver position. I'm all 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.880 for it. And I think if you don't go tackle 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.120 tackle in the first round and you go tackle running 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.680 back at at eighteen and twenty six, I think you're 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.760 doing yourself a favor because you need another guy like 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.120 that to complement Howard and what he can do. So 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.280 I I just think that the Dolphins are in a 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.800 great position. They have flexibility in terms of where what 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.520 positions they want to go after, and if that need 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.040 isn't necessarily the guy that there they have full conviction over, 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.480 they just switch over to another position and select that guy. 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.400 I just think that the flexibility that Dolphins have built, 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.280 they're gonna use to their advantage and they're gonna target 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.760 maybe three or four positions with those selections. Yeah, Johnny, 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:58.320 I fully expect this team, uh, after after the second 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.400 round is over, to have at some point along you're 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.160 acquired a quarterback and two tackles. It's such a you know, 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.640 from an offensive line standpoint, I don't think there's a 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.680 star that's projected to go in the first round in 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.360 this draft, but there are plenty of offensive tackles that 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.160 that could show up in this first round. And then 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.080 you've got guys like Austin Uh, You've got some other 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.560 guys that are like Austin Jackson, who I've seen him 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.320 high and I've seen him in the second round pick. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.760 So you can, you know, after two rounds, if they 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.160 can come out with a quarterback and and in a 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:33.560 combination of two of those offensive tackles between round one 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.480 and round two, boy, I would feel really good about 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.560 what they've been able to accomplish in the first you know, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.720 the first couple of rounds of this draft. Well, I agree, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.280 because you know, you take a look at the offensive 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:50.760 line selections and there's gonna be probably four guys maybe 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:55.120 five go in the first twenty five picks in this 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.760 year's draft. You know, Andrew Thomas from Georgia, Wills from 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:02.920 Alabama works from Iowa who can play guard or tackle. Uh, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.200 you know becked In a huge guy that is gonna 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.120 be outside at the tackle position you mentioned. You know, 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.880 Austin Jackson, You've got Ezra Cleveland. You've got a bunch 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.040 of different guys that can play that Ed's position. And 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.720 then as you kind of move along in the draft, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.440 you're gonna have other guys that that are center slash guards. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.120 You know Ruise from Michigan, and you know there's guys 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.839 like that that can play different positions along along your 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.160 offensive line. Uh, Cushion Berry might be a center guard 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.400 type of guy from l s U. So there's there's 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.319 plenty of talent in terms of offensive lineman that you 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.439 might be able to get in the second or third round. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.400 That could be your your either or position. You know, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.800 you're trying to get position flexibility all the time on 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:47.960 defense under Brian Flores. Well, I'm sure on offense you're 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.320 looking for those types of guys that you can flip 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.000 around on the offensive line. Has experience a guard but 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.760 can play center, is a tackle but can kick down 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.199 to guard, because you need that now in the National 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.200 Football League, you know, talking about the guard position, they 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.000 go out and they get Eric Flowers, who you know, 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.360 kind of had a bumpy start to his career coming 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.520 out of the University of Miami, play tackle, end up 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.960 moving to UH end up moving to guard, and seemed 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.800 to have found a home at guard. The Dolphins signed him, 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.760 and you know, he's got tackle experience, but I think 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.880 they clearly expect him to fill one of those guard 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.600 roles along with Ted Terriss at the center that they 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.680 picked up in free agency. The question I would have 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.599 John and we'll talk about the guards here in a 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.719 little bit, but the you know, to me, one of 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.640 the big lynch pins about this offense right now, without 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.560 having gone into the draft and seeing what tackles they 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.360 come out with, is Michael Dieter. You know, can Michael 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.679 Dieter be the guy that they expect him to be? Now? 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.560 They threw him into the fire last year. First of all, 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.000 he had one coach and lasted I don't know what 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.360 about a week, a week or two weeks maybe then, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.040 you know, and then you flip them over to Google's 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.800 and and just kind of throws him in the fire there, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.800 and a little towards the end, I think he I 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.959 think he hit the wall a little bit Deeer did, 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.720 and so he was kind of moved around. But you know, 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.000 I think that's a guy that they're still counting on. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.680 And you know, it's it's unfortunate for him this much 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.679 inasmuch as you know it was listen to me, it's it. 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.040 It kind of parallels a little bit what we saw 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.480 Mike Gasecki last year, you know, his his rookie year, 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.480 not not know, you know, didn't get what you know, 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.839 he didn't get what he expected out of his rookie year. 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.319 I don't think Dolphins got what they expected. The fans 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.199 didn't get what they expected. We didn't get what we expected. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:36.920 But I kept looking at him, going, you know what 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.320 this guy need. This guy needs a year in the 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.960 weight room. This guy needs that off season in the 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.280 weight room to bulk up a little bit, toughen up 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.880 a little bit, and figure things out. And we saw 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.640 and and that's not the only reason, because obviously Fitzpatrick 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.040 had a lot, a lot of influence on how Mike 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.800 Dasecki played this year. But I think you could see 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.760 the difference between the physicalness of Gasecki this year as 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.920 a those to the prior year. And I'm kind of 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.800 I was kind of thinking that from Michael Dieter, same thing. 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.120 Give him, give him a year, because right now they'd 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.480 they'd be in conditioning right now, in the in the 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.880 in the weight room, you know, three or four hours 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.959 a day doing all this stuff. And so I expected 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.000 to Dieter to get that kind of work, that kind 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.600 of strength training and little stuff during the offseason, uh, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.480 to to put him in a better position to to 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:33.640 really take a stranglehold on that guard position. Um And 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.960 so I hope he's doing just that, and I would 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.520 assume he's doing just that now on his own. But 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:41.680 I just don't think you can ever get to the 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.040 level on your own as you would with a guy 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:49.880 like him John if without being in the program and 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.320 with that trainer and with that strength coaching, with all 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.280 those people, you know, eyeballing you every single day and 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:57.840 telling you, hey, you need to pick up the pace 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.320 or he need to do this, you need to do that. Um. So, 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.480 so it does. It does present a little bit of 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:08.160 concern as far as uh is Michael Dealleeter in that 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.600 other guard spot. Well, if Deeter made the same jump 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.559 as Mike Kisiki did at tight end, you could pencil 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.240 him in as the starter because that was a huge 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.000 jump for Mike at tight end and the the way that 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.800 he played in the way he was able to use 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.800 his body and his frame, uh like much like he 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.120 did in college at Penn State. He was he was 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.360 more of a dominant force and he was a threat 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.600 down the middle of the football field, which and he 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.880 was an option outside the numbers, which was terrific because 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.400 he was able to go and run option routes and 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.160 and use that body and Fitzpatrick was able to give 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.160 him those fifty fifty chances and he came down with 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.400 not only some big plays but explosive place for touchdowns. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.080 So if Deeter could do that, boy, you feel really 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:55.200 good about Flowers getting him in free agency and having 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.640 across your fingers that the guy you saw in Washington 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.520 is the guy you're gonna get, not the guy you 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.920 saw with the Giants. And if you felt good about that, 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.480 you could look at Deeter and Caress and go, Okay, 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.720 we're gonna we're gonna grow with this group, We're gonna 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.520 be better with this group. And now you can focus 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.760 in on tackle. So I I do believe you have 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.000 you make a good point in terms of being around 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.040 other guys. You're always challenging other guys. You see somebody 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:20.880 do something and you want to be able to match it. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.000 If you didn't get there individually, or you want to 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.480 set the table and set the bar here and let 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.920 other guys kind of chase you, you don't have that 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.560 challenge and that interaction and that being around the group 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.080 kind of feeling when you're kind of isolated as everybody 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.800 is in the world right now. So it's a tough 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.480 situation for guys, and and that's where you have to 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.760 get self motivators and and that's where you do a 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.040 good job. And you're scouting and you're hoping that you 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.600 pick the guys that whatever the situation is, you feel 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.600 good that he's gonna give you the best, no matter 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.600 if your eyes are on him or he's kind of 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.440 by himself studying and working out and running and doing 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.200 all the things you need to do to prepare for 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.760 the season. So I think Michael Dieter comes from pretty 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.680 good stock at Wisconsin and the coaching staff, and and 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.120 I think he is going to be able to make 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.720 that jump in here too. Yeah, I do. I think 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.440 he is a self motivated guy, and I think he 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.600 was disappointed kind of what happened last year to him. 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.920 He's got a new offensive line coach to deal with 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.040 this year, and uh, and I still have pretty good 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.000 hope for him. So let's kind of go through these 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.320 the Let's kind of go through the offensive prospects here 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.320 draftwise and and kind of take a look and were 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.120 since we were talking about deater and and Florence Flowers 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:33.880 and those guys, let's kind of start with the offensive 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.320 guard with John. I really gonna see, I really would 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.720 be surprised if anybody in the in the they're they're 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.600 strictly offensive guards. Um, that did jump up in the 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.360 into the first round. But guys on the Mission's got 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.640 two kids, a kid Bretticon six four to thirty nine, 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:53.000 four year starter, good player there, Uh, michael On when 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.800 you the the other their other guards six two three 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.680 seventy three, Uh, it's one of those malers that they're 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.280 they're probably two of the top guys. And then Clemson's 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.480 got two kids, John Simpson and Tremaine acram ancram Um, 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.440 both of them big solid guys, can play. But I 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.480 think you start getting below that and you start dropping 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.920 down into the third maybe fourth round. So you know, 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.240 it's it's it's never been a glamour position, and I 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.280 don't think it's a glamour position going into this year's draft. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.400 You know, unless you need and unless you're at a 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.920 position to need at the guard position, you're kind of 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.640 looking at guys that can play both. Give me a 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.360 guy like uh Ruise out of Michigan, who's the center 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.920 that gives you good movement, but you feel like his 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.760 traits can transfer over to play guard. You know, Cushionberry 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.440 from l s U. He controlled the middle of that 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.680 offensive line that won the national championship. He's tough, athletic, 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.920 quick hands and feet. Uh And maybe there's a guy 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.880 that you know you get later in the round, even 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.400 a Matt Hennessey from Temple that was a three year starter. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.520 He has a brother that's a long snapper, a National 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.680 Football League kind of a scrappy guy Temple, tough type 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.000 of player that has experience, that might have the position 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.359 flexibility at six four, three hundred five pounds that you 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.640 can move around in the middle of your offensive line. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.400 But for the Dolphins right now, I think I think 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.520 they're pretty well set. I don't expect them to be 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.800 dabbling in a guard's center, unless it's a luxury pick, 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.880 and the Dolphins didn't have to give up a lot 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:25.560 of draft uh moving around in the first round. You know, 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.760 you give up two or three picks, and now you're 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.280 kind of those picks get more valuable later and you 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.800 want to get him at maybe receiver or at edge, 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.960 at edge rusher, or another offensive tackle or another running back. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.639 So I would see I would see the focus on 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.320 the offensive line for the Dolphins more on the edge 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.639 than in the middle. You have no doubt about it. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.520 And when you get to that edge, tell you there's 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.800 a there's a there's a lot of talent there, Joe. 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.439 You talked about them Blier. You miss them earlier, you know, 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.000 and and and and there's really probably two or three 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.680 of these guys you could kind of just transfixed one 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:02.600 way or the other. Um And I would assume, I 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.560 would assume, like most people, that that the number five 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:11.359 pick unless unless um U let's Burrow and uh and 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.480 two or off the board, and you don't really have 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.040 that belief in in it's you know, some of those 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:21.560 other quarterbacks, Herbert Love and those guys, they may just 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.560 jump up and grab one of these guys, but uh, 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.080 you know the guys. The guy that the guy that 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.840 really jumped out with the in the in the combine 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:33.520 was McKay Beckon, the big kid from Uh, six seven, 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:39.080 three sixty four, big, huge guy, physical wingspan, you could 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.840 play right tackle, you can play left tackle. And well, 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:43.960 I tell you, when you talk about you just talk 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.639 about just a big stud. Uh. This guy's got that 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.400 written all over. And the kid from uh, the kid 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.520 from Louisville, well he's enormous. You know, you mentioned six 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.360 seven and sixty five or sixty nine pounds. He ran 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.359 a five flat or five one short he you know, 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.080 and it's incredible what he can do. And he's imposing. 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.480 You know, he's the guy that you see first and 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.880 you go, oh my gosh, I'm gonna hide behind this guy. 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.320 But but he's really he's long with his arms as well, 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.720 so in past protection. He has good footwork, almost nimble 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.359 to a point, and he has smooth body control for 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.080 a big guy at six seven, So you get a 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.720 huge body that can play either side. And he played 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.240 left tackle at Louisville, but he was a three year 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.919 starter and then he dominated in college football. Uh. You know, 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.680 he has this this the length of kind of hold 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:37.320 off a speed rusher with that, with that wingspan, and 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.400 he'll mash you a little bit in the run game. 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.159 You know, if he gets that big body going in 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:45.359 the right direction, you're not going anywhere unless he's telling 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.800 you where to go and he locks on you. So 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.960 you get a big guy in Beckton that is pretty athletic, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.880 and I do believe he's gonna go somewhere. I would 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.040 think in the twenties, if not in the teens in 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.480 this draft. Yeah, you know, you you look at him, 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.000 and you know, I always look at these these left 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.520 tackles or tackles. And then now you've got guys like 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.960 Villain the Wave of a kid from Pittsburgh. He's still 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.919 Pittsburgh's like six and nine. You know, you see some 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.240 of these guys that are just so big and and 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.560 you know, you play against big guys your whole career, 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.800 but there are certain guys where you you kind of 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:17.520 break the other. You turn around the first time they 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.960 break the hottle and that guy walks the line of scourage. 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:21.760
