Are you ready for 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.439 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.800 ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that. 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:33.120 It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:41.520 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hello, guys, 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:46.440 welcome back to Cowboys Break presented by s WBC Mortgage Studio. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.640 We are here Nick, Dave and me. Derek is nowhere 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.560 to be found right now. Boy, We're going to start 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.280 the show and see how he goes. No, he's busy 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:02.080 doing other important things as always. Um, but how are 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:06.839 you guys doing? I'm great, can y'all hear me? Yeah? Okay, 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.560 I my headphones are on the fritz. I'm just making sure. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.240 But yeah, I'm awesome, but as awesome as you could be. 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.920 You know, after spending a week in Hawaii and I 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.839 kept back here, relaxed, ready to go, ready to pay 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.600 for the draft, knock out this draft, and you know 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.720 you're at that point in the draft where it's just 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.680 especially on our staff, because we start this thing early. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.280 We started it early, as we've ever done it in 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.920 like December in November, but um, you know you're at 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.080 the point where like it's still nothing happens other than 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.000 maybe a trade here there, or somebody has a bad 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.360 forty time or whatever that kind of lowers some stock 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.200 or surgery to a player, But I mean you still 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.840 like nothing has really happened. It's still like right here, 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.920 we're getting so close, but we've we've like beaten this 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:55.520 thing to death here and it's like it's time to 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.440 do it and board. Yeah, that's I mean, having a 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.240 top ten pick is great, but there's really only so 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.640 many ways you can slice it before you're just repeating yourself. Yeah, 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.920 And it gets annoying when it's like, I mean, I'm 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.520 not saying that nothing. Everything should be on the table, 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.040 but it's like you just go in these waves where 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.680 are like, wow, what are we gonna talk about today? 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.720 You know, it's like what if they trade Michael Gallop 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.720 and get a receiver. You know, let's let's put the 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.400 receivers in the mix now, you know what I mean. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.040 Just things like that, when I think we all know 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.040 it's going to be certain er horn, I mean, that's 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.359 what I think it's. That's what I think Sta Horner Pits, 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.400 I think those are really I think it'll be one 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.720 of those three players. I just don't see him even 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.520 getting anywhere close to ten. Neither do I. But you 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.920 didn't see Ceede Lamb getting a seventeen either, so you 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.680 just can't can't take it off the table. But if 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.480 I had to bet today, I would put I would 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.440 feel very comfortable betting on one of those cornerbacks being 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:53.480 the pick. Yeah, I'd say fifty percent. I'll give you 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.400 ten percent for Pits. Sounds about right well. Stephen Jones 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.400 did have an interview with the Fan earlier. I was 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.640 it yesterday to the day, Yeah, earlier this week, and 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.960 he did talk about getting starting to get some calls 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.040 and people other teams that might be interested in making 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.880 a trade if their guy is still available up there. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.680 So that's still that's already kind out on the table. 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.480 He didn't necessarily say much about that whole possibility of 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.480 whether or not they would in fact take a trade 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.760 to move back or I mean, he can't really say 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.480 much about that. I think it's interesting that he said 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.960 that they've gotten some calls already, and he said he 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.200 expects it to heat up here over the next week, 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.880 you know, leading up to actual draft day, and there 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:44.920 have been reports, which I use reports like facetiously because 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.640 I think Ian Rappaport said the other day that Miami 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.520 is getting calls about trading out of number six and 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.000 the Panthers are getting calls about trading out of number eight. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.640 And I'm like, so basically Miami and Carolina want y'all 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.880 saying that, like they want people to know that those 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.200 picks are available to some degree. Maybe Stephen Jones does too, like, hey, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.600 if they feel good about their chances that one of 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.480 those cornerbacks falls a little ways, maybe you know, if 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.280 you could trade back and get another pick out of it. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.080 It's not It's not the worst thing in the world. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.200 I think. You know, and teams, if you if you 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.640 say something like that, like if you say like, yeah, 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.440 we've gotten some calls, I just think maybe it doesn't 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.039 mean that they're going to trade, but they want you 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.520 to know that that they're open to it. I think, yeah. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.719 And you know, the key is the quarterbacks. It's it's 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:33.560 uh fields from from Ohio State, Um, maybe Trey Lance 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:38.920 Um and then Mac Jones, you know those guys. They 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.800 I think the Cowboys want four of those five for 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.120 the five quarterbacks to be gone, and I think they 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.600 would prefer one of them to be still there because 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.720 that's what's gonna move somebody to trade for them if 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.240 they want to trade. I mean. An ideal situation though, 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.160 would be to have you know, four quarterbacks gone and 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.839 then just everyone loved the receivers, you know in pits 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.640 and then and then you're sitting there with like, okay, 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.200 you're at ten and somebody wants that one of those 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.760 quarterbacks and both corners are still there. Then you fall 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:12.919 back to I say New England because New England. New 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.599 England's just the easiest one because it's there are only 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.479 five spots away and they need a quarterback. Like you know, 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.520 we keep using them as an example, but it does 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.960 make sense. Yeah, I look at it. It was I 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.320 was looking at at this magazine. Actually, if I can, 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.320 I don't know what camera will be on there, but 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.080 I was looking at the magazine. I was like, all right, 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.279 I was like, I've got you could take certain at ten, 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.280 you could trade back ideally for Horn at fifteen. You 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.600 could trade back to twenty and maybe get Farley if 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.640 you feel good about it, or trade up for five 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.720 to get pits if you want to do that. So five, ten, 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.839 fifteen to twenty. That's really what I look out of 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.360 these four guys, you know, and I don't. I don't 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.240 know if Farley at twenty is a thing? Moving back 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.839 ten spots. That's next year's number one better be Yeah? 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.919 Do you like that? Hell yeah, next year's one. Come on, Chicago, 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.840 how much do you want your quarterback? Let's go give 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.680 me next year's one and probably like something this year. Yeah, 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.320 this year's three and next year's one. I'll let you 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.159 get up to ten. I'll I'm just fine. Like there, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.800 there'll still be a cornerback there at twenty, whether it's 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.200 Caleb Farley or Greg Newsome. I'd feel a lot better 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.359 about drafting one of these pass rushers at twenty than 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.560 I would at ten. Right, like a Phillips or the 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.240 first round pick next year. Absolutely, and like especially a 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.040 first round pick to a team that's that's going to 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.320 play a quarterback. Chicago sucks. I know that you pay 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.440 last year, but they're not good. Yeah, you want them 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.760 to go and struggle with their quarterback and turn and think, 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.840 you know, and that'll be a good pick for you, 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.479 so right now, nothing is out of the question. There's 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.520 a possibility to trade up, trade down, stay there, Yeah, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.680 Drevor Lawrence is out of the question. Well yeah, yeah, 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.760 that's about it. That's about it. That's all about it. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.839 But another thing that we all kind of already knew, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.160 and Stephen Jones did mention again was they are focused 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.320 in defensive players in this draft. That's their main focus. 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.760 But as always, if the right kind of guy kind 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:07.360 of lance there, then they're definitely more than open to 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.240 go for it and take the opportunity that would be. 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.120 Is there any other name other than the tight end 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.360 that would kind of be attractive for the Cowboys at 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.120 this point? I mean, you have to mention the tackles 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:25.280 Rashaan Slater and Piney Sewell, and if an offensive player 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.320 is going to be the Cowboys first pick, I think 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.559 it would be one of those three guys, Kyle Pitts 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.760 or one of the tackles. I don't know how you 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.360 justify a receiver unless you really are going to trade 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.440 Michael Gallup, which I don't see the point. And given 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.960 what they said about Lyaelle and Tyron, you think they 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.400 would be willing to take that kind of risk they 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.000 actually go for a tackle. I don't get the sense. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.560 I think the Cowboys, and I've been saying the same thing, 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.640 is I think they feel a lot more confident about 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.560 Tyrn Smith and Lyle Collins than the average fan does. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.160 I think that they think they're going to be fine, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.080 or at the very least they can get by with 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.600 the combination of guys that are already here, and maybe 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.440 if you draft a guy later on, Like, I don't 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.160 get the sense that they think it's so dire that 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:08.640 they need to draft a guy at ten. And you 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.680 also got to remember those two guys you mentioned. I 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.840 think that if they were to draft them, because that's 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.360 just the best guy available. And then you get to 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.120 you know, you get to March. I mean, you get 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.040 to a May June, and you're like, man, Tyrn and 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.480 Lyell look great. Well, one of these two is playing guard, Yeah, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.960 playing left guard with Connor Williams spot probably and maybe 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.880 Connor can play center, you know. I mean, I mean, 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.480 but you're they have value. That's why you draft a 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.520 tackle at number ten is probably because they can play anywhere. Yeah, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.440 I would think I would think they could play inside 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.520 at guard for a little bit. So it's not like 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.280 you just would be wasting a pick this year. They're 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.920 going to play somewhere. But I still think at the 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.880 end of the day, I just think, yeah, I one 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.960 of those two cornerbacks is almost guaranteed to be there. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.120 And that's and I and the reason why I defer 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.719 to Pitts. And you can yell at me if you 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.920 want to, but I just I think he's that rare 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.760 of a talent, Like if you were trying to comp 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.559 him the like the comp for Kyle Pits, it's probably 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.760 Calvin Johnson honestly like that, which that's insane, And so 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.040 I don't think you can pass up on an opportunity 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.679 like that. But that's why I don't think he'll be there. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.640 So I don't really think it's an issue. Yeah, I 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.160 could see somebody trying to trade into that pick to 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.360 get him, he goes in the top six picks, because 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.040 other teams are going to feel the same way. I mean, 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.760 if I'm Atlanta, I'm you know, I mean, I'm not 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.880 trying to get a quarterback. I got Matt Ryan for 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.480 a little bit. And because I believe, honestly, if you 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.800 would have showed me this magazine last year. We don't 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.240 you don't even know, well these don't have quarterbacks, but 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.520 you don't even know who these quarterbacks are they they develop. 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.839 I mean, I don't think Wilson be why you was. 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.160 I mean he was a first round pick maybe, but 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.679 not number two overall. Lawrence was Fields had to have 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.000 another year in he excelled, and Lance you know, I 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.800 mean he was kind of on he only played the 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.680 one game or so, but I mean mac Jones certainly 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.800 needed to elevate his So I just think every year 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.640 there's going to be a quarterback, but not every year 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.839 it's gonna be a tight end like this guy. So, 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.480 I mean, I just can't see him following past four 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.559 or five. Honestly. Yeah, I mean that's the and you 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.160 know this isn't Falcon's talk, but no, that isn't. It's 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.600 the age old talk of you know, do you want 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:23.160 to reset your financial window? I mean, or do you 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.600 want to build around a new quarterback? Like how confident 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.520 are you that Matt Ryan can give you four or 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.679 five more years of high caliber play? Because if you 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.840 don't think he can, then you should probably draft a quarterback. 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.880 But that's their problem to out, not mine. Well, but 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.160 at all dominantly, you know, effect it is just how many, 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.520 how many of these defensive studs are going to be there, 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.440 And I think I really think the Cowboys will take 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.319 the first or second defensive player. I mean, I don't 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.520 think there'll be one till nine, right, maybe Detroit at 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.240 seven maybe, but yeah, I agree. I mean, let's if 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.760 the three best defensive players in this draft, or j. C. Horne, 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.800 Patrick's or Tan and Micah Parsons, two of those three 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.880 will be available or maybe all three. So and that's 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.000 why I really think that they're gonna draft defense first, 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.400 Like it just it makes too much sense not to. Well, 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.480 we're gonna find out soon enough. In about a week 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.640 the draft starts and we shall get to see what 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.199 actually happens on the first day of the NFL Draft. 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.240 My only hope, whether they draft a defensive player or 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.920 an offensive player whatever that they had to do with 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.360 the tenth overall pick, I just hope that with the 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.960 rest of the draft that they are able to pick 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:36.240 the right defensive players to actually help this defense, because 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.880 looking at the list of previous draft and we're gonna 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.600 finish kind of what we started last week with Derek 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.400 talking about previous draft and the players where they were 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.719 selected and how they developed and whether it was a 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.880 bust or they were above average or any of that. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:58.280 There were some questionable choices there, So we'll get to 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.480 that in a bit, but before we move on to 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.760 that part, I did want to mention real quick, just 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.760 because it came out yesterday and knew it's part of 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.680 the news, but cornerback Rashard Robinson, he was suspended by 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:15.480 the NFL two games due to using um, what do 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.360 you call that? Informance enhancing And yeah, and of course 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.760 not everybody still understands all the rules that things have 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.599 changed in the NFL's you know, um policies there. But 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.599 it's not like you can just take whatever. So we 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.760 really don't know all the details. I mean, I think 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.880 it's harder for guys to get a suspension, but if 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.880 they do, then obviously you kind of know where they 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.200 stand there. And I think I think there's a reason 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.199 why the NFL announces this right now because if you 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.080 wait longer, because they know that teams have to cut players, 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.000 and Richard Robinson, in my opinion, is a guy that 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:55.360 very easily could have been cut at some point. I 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.679 don't think I don't think they can really cut him 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.240 right now, because they could, but I mean, you're not 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:04.559 really supposed to cut guys if they've been suspended or 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.040 definitely in the program like this, So we know he 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.120 wasn't necessarily a very impactful player for the cow Was 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.800 or anything like that. He kind of made his way 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.199 into the roster because of all the injuries and the 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.840 necessity necessity of just depth at the position. Looking at 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.360 what the Cowboys currently have, I mean, is this a 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.000 guy that they kind of do need to keep because 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.199 of death? I think he would have been released, Honestly. 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.000 I think after the draft, you you draft a corner, 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.160 you might draft two corners. Honestly, I think I think 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.560 you could see a fifth, sixth round pick, you can 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.280 get another corner, probably get a free agent corner. I 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.719 think he's one of the players that's probably released. I 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.720 think they have like eighty something players on the roster. Yeah, 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.000 you gotta get rid of about ten at least. I 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.040 feel so guilty for saying this, but like you know, 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.960 been I've had to. I've been handed some big time 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.640 suspensions over my time covering this team, Like you know, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.760 Randy Gregory, Zeke Elliott. You're just like, how are they 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.160 gonna get by without this guy? And it's a nice 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.199 I feel guilty, but like it's a nice change of 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.680 pace where that email came down yesterday and I was like, oh, okay, 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.280 Like definitely not a lock to make the roster, not 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.599 even a lock to make it the training camp, and 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.960 even even if you do want to keep them around, 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.760 it's a two game suspension, which is like nothing compared 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.760 to some of the four or six ten games suspensions 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.600 we've seen around here, which not trying to make light 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.320 of any of that, but like in terms of like 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.320 this is this is a blip on the radar for 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.360 me because they're going to draft cornerbacks next week and 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.440 I just don't see this as a big deal and 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.600 I hesitate even going down this route, but at least 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.520 because we don't know much of anything. But I think 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:50.800 we have to just acknowledge the fact that Traymon Diggs's 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.000 name is in the news right now. Not sure all 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.640 the details of that, but you know, it's something that 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.480 everybody has to to to be, you know, leary of 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.080 and how how things develop there. Um, it doesn't change 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.960 their opinion on drafting cornerbacks. They're gonna draft one anyways. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.560 But you know, you just got to be prepared for everything, 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.640 and just hopefully for Trayvon, say, hopefully everything is good. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.040 I'm just gonna, I think, just leave it at that. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.440 I don't I'm not trying to imply, but we don't 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.600 know all the details. I just know that there's some 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.520 you know, his name has been thrown out there and 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.160 accused of some things. So we'll see how how things develop, 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:26.160 hopefully the best for for Treyvon and everybody involved there. Yeah, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.240 I mean, I haven't seen a credible news source touch 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.880 that to this point, so I'm not going to either, right, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.800 I mean that until otherwise notified. Yeah, so, but I know, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.640 I know people over on that side of the building 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.640 have kind of you know, they've heard it through. They're like, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:41.840 what's going on here? So that that's kind of where 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.240 we stand and not trying to ignore anything. But again, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.320 it like Dave said, nothing really credible yet it could 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:52.080 be nothing. Hopefully it is. Well, um, hopefully it is nothing. 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:57.680 And U there's no drama on the defensive side because 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.840 we don't need any of that right now. The cow 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:01.960 do not need any of that. And I don't know why. 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.000 It always usually happens to be a defensive player for 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:09.600 some reason. But talking about another defensive player that's not 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.120 with the Cowboys but has been somewhat in the news 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.960 and around social media, and we were kind of wondering 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.480 what kind of happened as to why maybe the Cowboys 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:25.440 did not give Alden Smith another contract. And this didn't 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.760 really I mean this what happened was recently, so it 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.760 didn't necessarily have to do with the reason as to 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:36.280 why the Cowboys didn't offer him any other contract. But 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.240 just to mention it real quick, he's in some trouble 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:44.440 right now. Yeah, there's a there's a warrant out for 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.680 his arrest allegedly, that's what's been reported for an incident 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:52.480 that happened in New Orleans last weekend. So he was 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.840 already kind of involved with some some some things you know, 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.040 around the NFL kind of trying to see and I 0:16:58.200 --> 0:16:59.880 even said this, I guess a couple of weeks ago 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.880 that there's been talk that you know, he might be 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.880 facing a suspension, but again, don't know all the details 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.080 that the Cowboys really had no serious interest in bringing 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:11.960 him back. I don't think that was ever a thing. 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.280 Seattle is the only team really that's ever showed any 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.960 interest in them. They wanted to trade for him in 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:20.720 the middle of the season. The Cowboys didn't do that. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.840 In hindsight, they probably should have. But you know, I mean, Seattle, 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.840 if we ever did we ever get a report on 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.480 what the compensation would have been, because somebody just said 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.440 they should have taken their fifth round pick. But you know, 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.159 but I don't know if that's even a thing, if 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.199 they just and that's like, I mean, if if Seattle 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.440 was offering a Day two pick, then they probably should 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.080 have done it. But I've seen I've seen people kill 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.159 the Cowboys for not doing that trade. And if all 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.320 they were getting was a sixth round pick, I'd have 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.840 rather had Alden Smith, who was one of their better 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.280 pass rushers and who actually seemed like he gave a 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.159 damn like at least from my outsider's perspective. I never Actually, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.480 that's the funny thing. I got a few calls when, 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.960 like just radio interviews and stuff like that, when Alden 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.880 signed in Seattle, people asking me, They're like, well, what's 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.960 he like. I'm like, I have no idea. I covered 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.159 the season during a pandemic. I never met the man. 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.440 I talked to him a couple of times on Zoomah, 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:17.159 So it's tricky. But from my perspective, basically sitting on 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.960 my couch like everybody else, like, it seemed like he cared, 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.800 and so I was like, as bad as his defense was, 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.159 I would have rather had him out there trying than 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.119 an extra sixth round pick. Like I don't. I'm not 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.040 going to kill the Cowboys for not doing that. Dual 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.920 quarterback pressures is such a big stat I mean matters. 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.520 It affects the game, not just sacks. I mean the 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.600 pressures are a big deal. And d Law I think 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:40.680 led the team with forty last year and Aldon Smith 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.119 had thirty eight. I mean, so he's he's getting there. 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.359 He was getting there. But I still think there was 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.120 a reason why the Cowboys decided not at that point. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.760 They you gotta remember Seattle because he had three sacks 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.200 against Seattle. So the Seahawks were like, well, let's get 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.560 this guy. But I think, you know, the Cowboys are like, well, 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.560 I mean, so far, so good. He's coming off of 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.479 five or absence, and this is what this is. One 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.679 you know year in the pandemic if we can get him, 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:07.119 keep him going. But I think between that happened the 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.359 trade deadline and the end of the season and it 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.480 just didn't seem to get that much better. And who 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.119 knows what they were asking for, but it just it 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.440 just didn't work out to bring him back. Just one 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.760 of those cases that's just unfortunate, because once again, when 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.360 he got here, everyone was talking about him and kind 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.440 of how impressive it was him coming back from not 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.119 playing for like five years in the NFL to playing 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.119 the way that he was playing at the beginning of 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.960 the season. So just another unfortunate case that did not 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.240 work out. Let's also remember too that one of the 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.960 reasons his production dropped, it's because Randy Gregory returned back. 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.920 He came back off the suspension and he was playing better, 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.000 and I think they just have more hope for what 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.520 he could do. All right, Well, let's take our first break. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.720 When we come back, we're gonna get back into the 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.720 previous draft and players that were picked at certain spots 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.520 and just kind of talk about whether they exceeded met 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:04.520 or where below expectations. When we come back after this break, Honey, 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.840 big news. Gary. Are you okay? Oh, I'm not Gary anymore. 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:11.280 I'm Jackie Flash. What see?
