Let's talk about drafting. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:26.240 They do become our children. 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.520 I'm never going to refer to them as that ever again, 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.039 all right, I'll help go ahead and refrain. 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.400 Thirty seven days away, Brian pro Day's are in full effect. 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.920 What's what's this time of year really feel like for 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:39.160 those scouts across the hall. 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.399 Well, they're trying to figure out right now, they're trying 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.320 to kind of run down some of the numbers they 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.320 didn't get at the Combine. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.560 There were a lot of players that didn't do uh, 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.560 the did the. 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.160 The like the shuttles and things like that, the three cones, 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:53.840 things that they need to kind of fill in on 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:54.480 their boards. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:55.080 Uh. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.400 And also this is the opportunity to for these coaches 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.080 to get out look at these players and work them 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.520 out themselves. They at the Combine, they saw them work 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.080 out there. Now they physically get to put hands on 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.120 these guys and kind of work them through the drills 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.640 and stuff like that. So you know, you get your 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.639 thirty visits coming up. That'll be probably the first of April. 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.760 So they're going to knock out all these pro days 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.679 and then they're gonna come back and they're going to 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.240 start putting this board together. But it's an important time 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.840 for those guys. A lot of pressure on these players 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.200 that didn't work out at the Combine. You know, now 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.720 you're putting kind of all your eggs in one basket. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.360 You're saying, Okay, here we go. We're gonna have a 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.280 Pro day for you. And if you, you know, say 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.239 you run a slow time. I know there's some thought 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:36.480 about Lasseter the corner from Georgia didn't run a particularly 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.160 great time in his pro day, and so now the 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.960 worry of when you don't run at the Combine and 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.720 then you run it your Pro day and you don't 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.680 have a particularly fast time, you're running out of days 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.760 to kind of make that up. So a lot of 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.320 guys kind of a lot of stress going on out there. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.760 But Scott's trying to get all their numbers together, the 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.680 coaches are trying to get an idea about working these 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:56.160 guys out. 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.120 Yeah, it feels like these pro days are the final 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.760 opportunity to add data into these guys and be able 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.919 to build context before you bring them in for thirty visits. 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.480 Those thirty visits happening between now and April for certain teams. 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.720 Sounds like the Cowboys more so April, but that'll be 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.320 the true final opportunity to get an opportunity to see 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.760 who these guys are off the field and what they 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.560 can learn or what they can show as far as 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.280 on the whiteboard. And they do a lot as far 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.040 as putting those guys in certain situations, and they really 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.280 test them in those rooms and it's mentally taxing. I 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.720 couldn't imagine doing thirty of them over the course of 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.160 a weekend. But yeah, that's going to be a really 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.280 fun weekend. And then after that it's draft time. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:32.639 Baby. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.600 Some of the pre March nineteenth pro days that have 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.320 already been in the books Texas, A and m Miami, Iowa, 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.680 Colorado State, who has a couple prospects on both sides 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:50.120 of the ball, Penn State, Ucla, Clemson, Arizona, Minnesota, Georgia, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.160 like Brian said, Arkansas, Michigan State, some of the ones, Oklahoma, 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.360 some of the ones that are coming up to today, 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:01.000 Holy Toledo and Wyoming. The fight it was also today Texas, 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.440 A and m Okay, this list says yesterday, but the 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:09.240 Alabama one tomorrow, Texas is tomorrow, USC is tomorrow. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.360 Nick Harris will be out of the Texas Pro Day 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.280 and Ohio State. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.159 So a big day of rolling into Wednesday this week 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.600 and lots of lots of things to look forward to 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:20.440 on the Pro Day. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:21.919 So what are you looking forward to tomorrow? 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.039 Yeah, I'm really excited to see all those guys that 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.680 they have. You talk about to Andre Sweat Byron Murphy 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.440 at a night, Mitchell, Xavier Worthy. I mean, there's some 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.360 really talented guys down there at Texas, but one guy 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.480 that I'm really excited to see, and we talked about 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.960 him a little bit off the show last week. Kyle 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.479 was Jordan Whittington, the receiver for them that they brought 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.200 in and the class of twenty nineteen. They expected him 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.280 to be a feature guide right off the bat, battled 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.880 injury for his first three years, but eventually was able 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.080 to build stability as far as his health goes over 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.039 the course of the last two seasons, and unfortunately Texas 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.719 just kind of had to recruit over him and bring 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.400 in Xavier Worthy. Bringing ad Mitchell so he may not 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.240 have the statistics that you know some of the these 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.960 other receivers will have in the class. But I think 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.600 once he runs tomorrow, he's gonna impress a lot of people. 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.719 I think he's gonna drop a really impressive time given 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:08.280 his size. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.560 I have a question for you, folks. 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.320 So you brought up Lassiter if I'm not mistaken, Brian, 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.000 So at one point in time, like say, he doesn't 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.560 run a good for you time, but when you see 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.040 him on film, his transitions are smooth, the timing is there, 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:26.920 and everything. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.200 It doesn't. And that's something that I struggle with with. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.200 You know, looking deeper into these players is like putting 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.279 a value on these combine pro days, but then also 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.200 understanding like some players just I mean, you teach these 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.320 kids learn how to test. A lot of them test 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.320 well because they have done, you know, the necessary preparation 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.640 to test. But I'm just gonna ask you, guys, how 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.280 do you decipher, you know, where this guy really belongs 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.560 or whatever? If you're looking at him on tape and 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.479 guys aren't just beating him over the top. Guys, he's 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.520 carrying guys across the receiver the formation. But at the 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.960 same time, it's like, Okay, well he's not running this 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.120 forty Well, how do you I guess maybe, as I guess, 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.279 Brian is a better person to ask what in general, guys, 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.640 how do y'all separate those things from what you see 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:12.119 on film. 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.360 I think it's specifically interesting with Lass because I've liked 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.000 what he could bring from a Nickel perspective, And if 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.880 there's trouble with speed, then you have to think about 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.200 guys he's covering, you know what the Tyreek kills and 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:23.840 you can even talk about the seed lambs. As far 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.760 as speed goes, but you see those fluid hips, you 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.480 see that the transition and his footwork. That's why I 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.480 think he could be a better Nickel. But as far 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.400 as long speed goes, I think at the corner position, 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.360 you don't want to sacrifice that as much as you 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.400 maybe would with the safety position. You know, you look 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.240 at a guy like Cameron Kitchens, who I have been 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.440 high on in the process, did not have a good 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.520 combine as far as testing goes and explosion testing goes. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.920 With his broad and his vertical, that stuff gives me 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.400 a little bit of concern, but it would give me 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.320 a lot more concern if he was a corner just 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.240 because I want him to be able to bounce off 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.600 the line with a really a physical receiver or a 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.800 really speedy receiver. One of the two would be able 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.359 to run with him step for step. Whereas a safety, 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.200 I just I focus on the instincts more than I 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.960 would focus on the athleticism. The athleticism needs to be there, 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.080 it's football, but I would focus on the instincts a 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:09.560 little bit more. I think there's a little bit more 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.960 flexibility there at the safety position, okay, And with. 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.560 The last I think he shows instincts when you watch 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.440 him play. Like the one thing I do have in 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.280 my notes, which might be somewhat okay, that is a 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:20.880 red flag with the speed as he does get a 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.400 little grabby downfield, and maybe that's a guy starting to 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.320 pull away from him with that deep speed, and he'll 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.080 start to yank a little bit to make sure that 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.600 he doesn't create too much separation. But overall, I mean, Brian, 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:32.840 I don't know if you agree with this or not, 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.559 but I always am just gonna go back to the film. 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.360 What did I see on tape? I think there's a 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.280 difference sometimes between testing speed and game speed. Some guys 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.600 just don't test really well. Other guys will test well, 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.960 then that doesn't always translate. If you're able to marry 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.360 the two, that's awesome. But if a dude doesn't test well, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.560 I'm gonna revert back to what did I see? What 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.320 were my notes when I went and watched him play. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.160 I care more about what you do with pads in 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.720 game on the field than what you're doing in your underwear. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:56.240 Olympics. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.280 I built this into my notes because I said I 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.560 thought he played with more quickness than he does speed. 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.400 So I knew going in that this guy probably wasn't 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.200 going to run all that well. But he wants to 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.960 take contact early. He wants to try and be disruptive. Yeah, 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.560 that's his whole idea. I have the same problem with 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.760 King from Penn State. I'm watching this guy play at 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.800 a very high level cover people, doesn't run particularly well, 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.320 but then all of a sudden, he runs a four 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.160 to one six short shuttle twenty shuttle. So now I'm thinking, Okay, 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.960 the guy's got lateral agility, he's got some quickness to 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.160 his feet. You know, I can deal with that, but man, 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:38.199 it is it's a difficult situation you deal with. Johnny Wilson, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:42.199 the tall receiver from Florida State. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:43.480 He's six six. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.480 He's rare that you have a six I think Colin 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.160 Johnson was the last person that we saw in the 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.560 league that was a six to sixth receiver that I 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.800 think the Colts took him or somebody like that was 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:55.000 in it. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.559 But yeah, Jacksonville maybe, Yeah, it was one of those 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:58.040 teams in. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.520 This South, And I think but the the thing about 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.240 it is, you he doesn't run particularly well, but he 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.520 makes all these plays. So all of a sudden, you 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.520 start to sit there and you're thinking, God, they play 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.560 a lot faster than on tape then, and there's there's 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.840 some guys that if you put pads on him, they're 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.200 going to run for six. If you take the pads 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:19.880 off them, they're going to run for six. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:20.840 You know. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.720 So that's some of the things that you kind of 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.880 have to feel like that you deal with in these drafts. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.840 Yeah, because even Darius Robinson Miszoo, he didn't exactly run 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.400 a good forty You look at him on tape exactly everywhere. 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.040 So yeah, I just I just want to know what 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.640 ch'all's process of elimination is. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.319 Yeah, I think for me it's mostly context more than 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.440 it is evaluation. Whenever it comes to running, because the 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.720 evaluation comes on tape, you trust the tape, You trust 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.600 your eyes, you trust your notes. Like Zach was talking about, 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.520 you go back and refer to it and you use 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.960 it as context as Hey, maybe he will run a 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.520 four to six with pads or without pads, but hell 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.880 with the pads, he is a phenomenal player, and he's 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.520 able to play down hill and he's able to show 0:09:58.520 --> 0:09:59.400 that athleticism. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.400 So I think it's a context thing. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.680 It's all the information that you're gathering along the way 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.439 that just helps you build a complete picture of the prospect, 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.480 and it teaches you kind of where you can and 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:09.480 cannot use him. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.760 I've been in rooms where I've heard scouts a guy 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.520 says he can't run, he can't run, he can't run, 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.600 he can't run. And then a scout stood up and said, 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.160 I don't care where you mfors put this guy. 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.760 He is going to be a great player in this league. 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.680 And sure enough, you know, guy ends up playing twelve 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.959 thirteen years. Well, there was a receiver back in the 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:34.000 day Florida State way back Ravens. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.640 What's that Andkwin Bolden it's a pretty good one. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.280 Yeah, And Kwan Bolden Walter Julips scout was like he did, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.480 that's exactly. Walter stood up and said, you mfors can 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.280 put him anywhere you want. He goes, he is going 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.880 to play in this league for a long time, and 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.080 he just closed his notebook and sat there and you know, 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.000 they put we put him up on the board, and 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.239 sure enough he's picked that thing in the second. 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.920 Round and he played one hundred years, you know, and 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.880 two thousand and three, twenty seventeen. There you go, insane, 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:02.319 there you go. 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.080 And sometimes you get those guys like that, and you 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.720 have that conviction of this guy could play. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.679 I don't care how fast he runs. YEA. 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.640 The tape that we all watch and that's ourly, that's 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.080 our group's only advantage. I mean, that's our only advantages. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.880 We get to watch tape and then maybe an occasional workout. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.480 But that's what you go off of. And I think 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.880 to me, your board is pure that way when you 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.760 just evaluate the tape. I mean, I had a scout 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:30.400 in the league tell me, he goes, do me a 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.080 favor when you're done some of your board and I go, 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.880 why do you want my board? And he goes, Because 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:40.160 you're just watching tape. You're not worried about all the 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.360 things that I'm going in and getting from the school. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:45.240 You're you know, I hear this, I hear this, I 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:49.040 see this, I hear You're just watching tape. That's generally 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.720 who these people are when you watch this tape. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.080 It's really interesting, it really is, because those guys have 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:56.320 so many different factors. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.680 They have too many, too many clutter them up. And 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.000 we were just talking about it opening here. You know, 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:02.800 all of a sudden you get these you start to 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.920 you put a guy on a board, and all of 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.640 a sudden you have this wait looks smart on tape, 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:09.960 but okay, and then you talk to him and you're 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.840 like going, wait a minute. He doesn't understand concepts here. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.880 And that effects if a coach doesn't feel like they 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.520 can get to a guy, that he's going to make mistakes. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.520 We saw that with this team last year with a Dogay, 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.480 when you can't make when you can't make blocks or 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.240 you can't get things lined up the right. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.360 Way, they won't play you. That part of it is 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:33.319 a big factor. 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.199 And they're gonna have to make some replacements to in 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.640 the guys that they lost based off of some of 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.240 those decisions that were made in free agency and the 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:41.280 way they let them walk. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.199 I've got a little bit of a game here. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.760 We'll take about ten minutes on this, but I've got 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.800 six names that have departed. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:48.520 From the Dallas Cowboys. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.680 I want you to tell me the most likely draft 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.880 prospect to replace these names. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.200 And this could be your own opinion. 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.080 We could come to a conclusion if we want as 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.840 a group, but more likely, I want names that can 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.400 be realistic replaces for each of these guys that have 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.680 departed the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, because frankly, there's 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.880 a lot of them and a lot of them that 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:07.760 wire impact players. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.280 We're gonna start on the offensive line. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.240 We're gonna get it out of the way because this 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.080 is probably the most likely Day one, Day two picks. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.400 We'll start at offensive tackle. Tyron Smith departs Zach Waltschek. 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.280 Who do you feel like is the most likely offensive 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:21.560 tackle replacement? Yeah? 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.960 I kind of think as we've gotten closer to this 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.280 at twenty four, if they do address that in the 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:31.000 first round, I think Geyiton from Oklahoma seems like the 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.280 most likely candidate. I mean, I would love me some 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.840 Jordan Morgan out of Arizona. I've got him great at 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.720 higher I do wonder because I think we heard this 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.040 with the Cowboys when it came to Rashaun Slater, that 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.880 they viewed him as a guard and not as a tackle. 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.080 And maybe it was the short arms. And I wonder 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.280 because Morgan is similar in that regard, if they would 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.640 take him and say, all right, we feel comfortable playing 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.840 you at left tackle. I think Morgan is a better 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.800 player on tape. I think Geiton is raw that are talented. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.120 He's big, he's got long arms. He can get to 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.120 the second level. For those that maybe we have talked 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.200 about him quite a bit, but transfer from TCU, played 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.400 at Oklahoma this past year. I think he can play 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.199 left or right side. He's got some versatility on that regard. 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.920 Six ' seven, he's got room to fill out. I 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.839 think the technique can be a little bit sloppy. He 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.680 can get overpowered at times. But at twenty four and 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.160 we've seen if the Cowboys say all right, like with 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.640 Tyler Smith, who a lot of people thought was a project, 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.160 but they see traits that they like that they can 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.440 bold Geiton kind of fits that a little bit for me. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.600 I wonder if at twenty four, if he's the best 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.240 offensive tackle there. To me, right now, he seems like 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:37.440 the most likely replacement. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:38.760 I'm torn. 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.560 I'm torn on whether they're going to and we kind 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.320 of talked about it before the show started, if they're 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.400 gonna move Tyler back to tackle and then just go 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.360 get a guard. Maybe not in the first round, maybe 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:51.480 in the second or third round. 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.080 Do you think they need to get a guard, because 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.800 I think I feel TJ. Bass can be a plug 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.240 and play left guard. I'd rather just address center and 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.400 then we can just go for depth pieces behind that. 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:00.880 I agree. 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.160 I struggle with that because personally, I just think, uh, 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:10.400 the depth is just it's invaluable to question and I 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.120 and I and again, I do think he's capable of 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.240 being a starter. I don't mean I want to be 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.480 one right now unless he just outright earns it, which 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:22.080 is he could. But I that's the thing that tears me. 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:23.720 Do you think that Guidan could play guard? 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.800 No? I think Morgan Morgan play guard. Guid and I 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.080 think needs to probably stay at tackle. I don't see 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.320 the bend there like you do. For Morgan. I think 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.040 he's a little too stiff in the lower body to 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:36.720 kick inside. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.080 So you guys are comfortable with a rookie left tackle, yeah. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.360 Just because just because of their history, the history here 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.360 of this organization, first round offensive tackles have been plug 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.520 and play. That that is, that is something that you know, 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.680 you can fault him for some things, but everyone that 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.360 they've ever addressed is a first round offensive lineman. Seems 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.520 to have worked out for them. And now, but we 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.720 saw a poor draft last year. We've always talked about 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.640 them about being a great drafting team. You hope you 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.560 hope that this is not one of those times that 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.120 all of a sudden that that doesn't hold true. 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.240 I struggle with that too though, because I'm just like, 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.160 there's other skill players that are there. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:17.320 If there's other. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.480 Players there, you know, bitting on the fact, like, oh, 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.520 if I get a first round talent, then yeah, I 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:23.880 mean great. 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.800 But yeah, I'll tell you what happened though, Ayisha, And 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.120 I think you know this, all these players that went 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:33.720 out the out the door, they lost their flexibility for 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:34.800 best available player. 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:35.920 It hurt. 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.240 Yeah, you now you're now there's two things you need 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.040 to think about in this draft, addressing your needs and 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.640 how can I get a fourth round pick? 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.440 Yeah, that's a crappy place to be in. 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.880 And that's where all of a sudden you start to say, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.480 maybe the level of the tackle that you want to 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.600 take is not there. Maybe all of a sudden, now 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.880 you're saying, well, we've got to grab a center here, 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.240 and there's gonna be somebody on your board when you 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.200 get to twenty four and you're gonna look down and 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:07.160 you're going, I got this linebacker graded higher. Yep, I've 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.000 got this wide receiver graded higher, and you're gonna and 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:11.800 you're gonna. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:12.359 Have to I think. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.720 I think the way that free agency went for this team, 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.000 and I'm sure somebody walked down the hall and hit 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.239 me up side the head with a board and say, no, no, 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:19.720
