Speaker 1: confines of Cowboys Headquarters at the Star in Frisco.
Speaker 2: Today is Tuesday, March ninth, twenty twenty four, and we
Speaker 2: are officially thirty seven days away from the NFL Draft
Speaker 2: in Detroit, Michigan. Welcome into the Draft Show, presented by
Speaker 2: Miller Lte live from the Star in Frisco, Texas. Insigned
Speaker 2: the s WBC Studios, we have Zach Walchuk, Nick Harris,
Speaker 2: Brian brod Us making her triumphant return, Aisha Morrison. I'm
Speaker 2: Kyle Yeoman's glad you're with us, Chris being running everything
Speaker 2: in the back thirty seven.
Speaker 3: Days March nineteenth. By the way, what did I say?
Speaker 4: You said March ninth. It's fine, you know, just.
Speaker 5: For the you know the one and the nine, a
Speaker 5: lot whatever whatever, one, ninth three, you know nine, Kyle
Speaker 5: and I barely lab It's not a big deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not. Yeah. Everything good, Everything's good. You're doing
Speaker 3: all right? Good, Nick, we failed to box everybody out
Speaker 3: for sec How are babies doing. The babies are good.
Speaker 3: You're doing a solid. How are your babies good over
Speaker 3: there and outside of the table.
Speaker 6: Yeah, one of them is down here, so there we go.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's here too.
Speaker 3: So let's talk about our draft babies. Let's talk about drafting.
Speaker 6: They do become our children.
Speaker 3: I'm never going to refer to them as that ever again,
Speaker 3: all right, I'll help go ahead and refrain.
Speaker 2: Thirty seven days away, Brian pro Day's are in full effect.
Speaker 2: What's what's this time of year really feel like for
Speaker 2: those scouts across the hall.
Speaker 7: Well, they're trying to figure out right now, they're trying
Speaker 7: to kind of run down some of the numbers they
Speaker 7: didn't get at the Combine.
Speaker 3: There were a lot of players that didn't do uh,
Speaker 3: the did the.
Speaker 7: The like the shuttles and things like that, the three cones,
Speaker 7: things that they need to kind of fill in on
Speaker 7: their boards.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 7: And also this is the opportunity to for these coaches
Speaker 7: to get out look at these players and work them
Speaker 7: out themselves. They at the Combine, they saw them work
Speaker 7: out there. Now they physically get to put hands on
Speaker 7: these guys and kind of work them through the drills
Speaker 7: and stuff like that. So you know, you get your
Speaker 7: thirty visits coming up. That'll be probably the first of April.
Speaker 7: So they're going to knock out all these pro days
Speaker 7: and then they're gonna come back and they're going to
Speaker 7: start putting this board together. But it's an important time
Speaker 7: for those guys. A lot of pressure on these players
Speaker 7: that didn't work out at the Combine. You know, now
Speaker 7: you're putting kind of all your eggs in one basket.
Speaker 7: You're saying, Okay, here we go. We're gonna have a
Speaker 7: Pro day for you. And if you, you know, say
Speaker 7: you run a slow time. I know there's some thought
Speaker 7: about Lasseter the corner from Georgia didn't run a particularly
Speaker 7: great time in his pro day, and so now the
Speaker 7: worry of when you don't run at the Combine and
Speaker 7: then you run it your Pro day and you don't
Speaker 7: have a particularly fast time, you're running out of days
Speaker 7: to kind of make that up. So a lot of
Speaker 7: guys kind of a lot of stress going on out there.
Speaker 7: But Scott's trying to get all their numbers together, the
Speaker 7: coaches are trying to get an idea about working these
Speaker 7: guys out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels like these pro days are the final
Speaker 4: opportunity to add data into these guys and be able
Speaker 4: to build context before you bring them in for thirty visits.
Speaker 4: Those thirty visits happening between now and April for certain teams.
Speaker 4: Sounds like the Cowboys more so April, but that'll be
Speaker 4: the true final opportunity to get an opportunity to see
Speaker 4: who these guys are off the field and what they
Speaker 4: can learn or what they can show as far as
Speaker 4: on the whiteboard. And they do a lot as far
Speaker 4: as putting those guys in certain situations, and they really
Speaker 4: test them in those rooms and it's mentally taxing. I
Speaker 4: couldn't imagine doing thirty of them over the course of
Speaker 4: a weekend. But yeah, that's going to be a really
Speaker 4: fun weekend. And then after that it's draft time.
Speaker 3: Baby.
Speaker 2: Some of the pre March nineteenth pro days that have
Speaker 2: already been in the books Texas, A and m Miami, Iowa,
Speaker 2: Colorado State, who has a couple prospects on both sides
Speaker 2: of the ball, Penn State, Ucla, Clemson, Arizona, Minnesota, Georgia,
Speaker 2: like Brian said, Arkansas, Michigan State, some of the ones, Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: some of the ones that are coming up to today,
Speaker 2: Holy Toledo and Wyoming. The fight it was also today Texas,
Speaker 2: A and m Okay, this list says yesterday, but the
Speaker 2: Alabama one tomorrow, Texas is tomorrow, USC is tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Nick Harris will be out of the Texas Pro Day
Speaker 3: and Ohio State.
Speaker 2: So a big day of rolling into Wednesday this week
Speaker 2: and lots of lots of things to look forward to
Speaker 2: on the Pro Day.
Speaker 3: So what are you looking forward to tomorrow?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm really excited to see all those guys that
Speaker 4: they have. You talk about to Andre Sweat Byron Murphy
Speaker 4: at a night, Mitchell, Xavier Worthy. I mean, there's some
Speaker 4: really talented guys down there at Texas, but one guy
Speaker 4: that I'm really excited to see, and we talked about
Speaker 4: him a little bit off the show last week. Kyle
Speaker 4: was Jordan Whittington, the receiver for them that they brought
Speaker 4: in and the class of twenty nineteen. They expected him
Speaker 4: to be a feature guide right off the bat, battled
Speaker 4: injury for his first three years, but eventually was able
Speaker 4: to build stability as far as his health goes over
Speaker 4: the course of the last two seasons, and unfortunately Texas
Speaker 4: just kind of had to recruit over him and bring
Speaker 4: in Xavier Worthy. Bringing ad Mitchell so he may not
Speaker 4: have the statistics that you know some of the these
Speaker 4: other receivers will have in the class. But I think
Speaker 4: once he runs tomorrow, he's gonna impress a lot of people.
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna drop a really impressive time given
Speaker 4: his size.
Speaker 6: I have a question for you, folks.
Speaker 9: So you brought up Lassiter if I'm not mistaken, Brian,
Speaker 9: So at one point in time, like say, he doesn't
Speaker 9: run a good for you time, but when you see
Speaker 9: him on film, his transitions are smooth, the timing is there,
Speaker 9: and everything.
Speaker 6: It doesn't. And that's something that I struggle with with.
Speaker 9: You know, looking deeper into these players is like putting
Speaker 9: a value on these combine pro days, but then also
Speaker 9: understanding like some players just I mean, you teach these
Speaker 9: kids learn how to test. A lot of them test
Speaker 9: well because they have done, you know, the necessary preparation
Speaker 9: to test. But I'm just gonna ask you, guys, how
Speaker 9: do you decipher, you know, where this guy really belongs
Speaker 9: or whatever? If you're looking at him on tape and
Speaker 9: guys aren't just beating him over the top. Guys, he's
Speaker 9: carrying guys across the receiver the formation. But at the
Speaker 9: same time, it's like, Okay, well he's not running this
Speaker 9: forty Well, how do you I guess maybe, as I guess,
Speaker 9: Brian is a better person to ask what in general, guys,
Speaker 9: how do y'all separate those things from what you see
Speaker 9: on film.
Speaker 4: I think it's specifically interesting with Lass because I've liked
Speaker 4: what he could bring from a Nickel perspective, And if
Speaker 4: there's trouble with speed, then you have to think about
Speaker 4: guys he's covering, you know what the Tyreek kills and
Speaker 4: you can even talk about the seed lambs. As far
Speaker 4: as speed goes, but you see those fluid hips, you
Speaker 4: see that the transition and his footwork. That's why I
Speaker 4: think he could be a better Nickel. But as far
Speaker 4: as long speed goes, I think at the corner position,
Speaker 4: you don't want to sacrifice that as much as you
Speaker 4: maybe would with the safety position. You know, you look
Speaker 4: at a guy like Cameron Kitchens, who I have been
Speaker 4: high on in the process, did not have a good
Speaker 4: combine as far as testing goes and explosion testing goes.
Speaker 4: With his broad and his vertical, that stuff gives me
Speaker 4: a little bit of concern, but it would give me
Speaker 4: a lot more concern if he was a corner just
Speaker 4: because I want him to be able to bounce off
Speaker 4: the line with a really a physical receiver or a
Speaker 4: really speedy receiver. One of the two would be able
Speaker 4: to run with him step for step. Whereas a safety,
Speaker 4: I just I focus on the instincts more than I
Speaker 4: would focus on the athleticism. The athleticism needs to be there,
Speaker 4: it's football, but I would focus on the instincts a
Speaker 4: little bit more. I think there's a little bit more
Speaker 4: flexibility there at the safety position, okay, And with.
Speaker 10: The last I think he shows instincts when you watch
Speaker 10: him play. Like the one thing I do have in
Speaker 10: my notes, which might be somewhat okay, that is a
Speaker 10: red flag with the speed as he does get a
Speaker 10: little grabby downfield, and maybe that's a guy starting to
Speaker 10: pull away from him with that deep speed, and he'll
Speaker 10: start to yank a little bit to make sure that
Speaker 10: he doesn't create too much separation. But overall, I mean, Brian,
Speaker 10: I don't know if you agree with this or not,
Speaker 10: but I always am just gonna go back to the film.
Speaker 10: What did I see on tape? I think there's a
Speaker 10: difference sometimes between testing speed and game speed. Some guys
Speaker 10: just don't test really well. Other guys will test well,
Speaker 10: then that doesn't always translate. If you're able to marry
Speaker 10: the two, that's awesome. But if a dude doesn't test well,
Speaker 10: I'm gonna revert back to what did I see? What
Speaker 10: were my notes when I went and watched him play.
Speaker 10: I care more about what you do with pads in
Speaker 10: game on the field than what you're doing in your underwear.
Speaker 3: Olympics.
Speaker 7: I built this into my notes because I said I
Speaker 7: thought he played with more quickness than he does speed.
Speaker 7: So I knew going in that this guy probably wasn't
Speaker 7: going to run all that well. But he wants to
Speaker 7: take contact early. He wants to try and be disruptive. Yeah,
Speaker 7: that's his whole idea. I have the same problem with
Speaker 7: King from Penn State. I'm watching this guy play at
Speaker 7: a very high level cover people, doesn't run particularly well,
Speaker 7: but then all of a sudden, he runs a four
Speaker 7: to one six short shuttle twenty shuttle. So now I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 7: the guy's got lateral agility, he's got some quickness to
Speaker 7: his feet. You know, I can deal with that, but man,
Speaker 7: it is it's a difficult situation you deal with. Johnny Wilson,
Speaker 7: the tall receiver from Florida State.
Speaker 3: He's six six.
Speaker 7: He's rare that you have a six I think Colin
Speaker 7: Johnson was the last person that we saw in the
Speaker 7: league that was a six to sixth receiver that I
Speaker 7: think the Colts took him or somebody like that was
Speaker 7: in it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Jacksonville maybe, Yeah, it was one of those
Speaker 3: teams in.
Speaker 7: This South, And I think but the the thing about
Speaker 7: it is, you he doesn't run particularly well, but he
Speaker 7: makes all these plays. So all of a sudden, you
Speaker 7: start to sit there and you're thinking, God, they play
Speaker 7: a lot faster than on tape then, and there's there's
Speaker 7: some guys that if you put pads on him, they're
Speaker 7: going to run for six. If you take the pads
Speaker 7: off them, they're going to run for six.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 7: So that's some of the things that you kind of
Speaker 7: have to feel like that you deal with in these drafts.
Speaker 9: Yeah, because even Darius Robinson Miszoo, he didn't exactly run
Speaker 9: a good forty You look at him on tape exactly everywhere.
Speaker 9: So yeah, I just I just want to know what
Speaker 9: ch'all's process of elimination is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me it's mostly context more than
Speaker 2: it is evaluation. Whenever it comes to running, because the
Speaker 2: evaluation comes on tape, you trust the tape, You trust
Speaker 2: your eyes, you trust your notes. Like Zach was talking about,
Speaker 2: you go back and refer to it and you use
Speaker 2: it as context as Hey, maybe he will run a
Speaker 2: four to six with pads or without pads, but hell
Speaker 2: with the pads, he is a phenomenal player, and he's
Speaker 2: able to play down hill and he's able to show
Speaker 2: that athleticism.
Speaker 3: So I think it's a context thing.
Speaker 2: It's all the information that you're gathering along the way
Speaker 2: that just helps you build a complete picture of the prospect,
Speaker 2: and it teaches you kind of where you can and
Speaker 2: cannot use him.
Speaker 7: I've been in rooms where I've heard scouts a guy
Speaker 7: says he can't run, he can't run, he can't run,
Speaker 7: he can't run. And then a scout stood up and said,
Speaker 7: I don't care where you mfors put this guy.
Speaker 3: He is going to be a great player in this league.
Speaker 7: And sure enough, you know, guy ends up playing twelve
Speaker 7: thirteen years. Well, there was a receiver back in the
Speaker 7: day Florida State way back Ravens.
Speaker 3: What's that Andkwin Bolden it's a pretty good one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And Kwan Bolden Walter Julips scout was like he did,
Speaker 7: that's exactly. Walter stood up and said, you mfors can
Speaker 7: put him anywhere you want. He goes, he is going
Speaker 7: to play in this league for a long time, and
Speaker 7: he just closed his notebook and sat there and you know,
Speaker 7: they put we put him up on the board, and
Speaker 7: sure enough he's picked that thing in the second.
Speaker 2: Round and he played one hundred years, you know, and
Speaker 2: two thousand and three, twenty seventeen. There you go, insane,
Speaker 2: there you go.
Speaker 7: And sometimes you get those guys like that, and you
Speaker 7: have that conviction of this guy could play.
Speaker 3: I don't care how fast he runs. YEA.
Speaker 7: The tape that we all watch and that's ourly, that's
Speaker 7: our group's only advantage. I mean, that's our only advantages.
Speaker 7: We get to watch tape and then maybe an occasional workout.
Speaker 7: But that's what you go off of. And I think
Speaker 7: to me, your board is pure that way when you
Speaker 7: just evaluate the tape. I mean, I had a scout
Speaker 7: in the league tell me, he goes, do me a
Speaker 7: favor when you're done some of your board and I go,
Speaker 7: why do you want my board? And he goes, Because
Speaker 7: you're just watching tape. You're not worried about all the
Speaker 7: things that I'm going in and getting from the school.
Speaker 7: You're you know, I hear this, I hear this, I
Speaker 7: see this, I hear You're just watching tape. That's generally
Speaker 7: who these people are when you watch this tape.
Speaker 2: It's really interesting, it really is, because those guys have
Speaker 2: so many different factors.
Speaker 7: They have too many, too many clutter them up. And
Speaker 7: we were just talking about it opening here. You know,
Speaker 7: all of a sudden you get these you start to
Speaker 7: you put a guy on a board, and all of
Speaker 7: a sudden you have this wait looks smart on tape,
Speaker 7: but okay, and then you talk to him and you're
Speaker 7: like going, wait a minute. He doesn't understand concepts here.
Speaker 7: And that effects if a coach doesn't feel like they
Speaker 7: can get to a guy, that he's going to make mistakes.
Speaker 7: We saw that with this team last year with a Dogay,
Speaker 7: when you can't make when you can't make blocks or
Speaker 7: you can't get things lined up the right.
Speaker 3: Way, they won't play you. That part of it is
Speaker 3: a big factor.
Speaker 2: And they're gonna have to make some replacements to in
Speaker 2: the guys that they lost based off of some of
Speaker 2: those decisions that were made in free agency and the
Speaker 2: way they let them walk.
Speaker 3: I've got a little bit of a game here.
Speaker 2: We'll take about ten minutes on this, but I've got
Speaker 2: six names that have departed.
Speaker 3: From the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2: I want you to tell me the most likely draft
Speaker 2: prospect to replace these names.
Speaker 3: And this could be your own opinion.
Speaker 2: We could come to a conclusion if we want as
Speaker 2: a group, but more likely, I want names that can
Speaker 2: be realistic replaces for each of these guys that have
Speaker 2: departed the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, because frankly, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of them and a lot of them that
Speaker 2: wire impact players.
Speaker 3: We're gonna start on the offensive line.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get it out of the way because this
Speaker 2: is probably the most likely Day one, Day two picks.
Speaker 2: We'll start at offensive tackle. Tyron Smith departs Zach Waltschek.
Speaker 3: Who do you feel like is the most likely offensive
Speaker 3: tackle replacement? Yeah?
Speaker 10: I kind of think as we've gotten closer to this
Speaker 10: at twenty four, if they do address that in the
Speaker 10: first round, I think Geyiton from Oklahoma seems like the
Speaker 10: most likely candidate. I mean, I would love me some
Speaker 10: Jordan Morgan out of Arizona. I've got him great at
Speaker 10: higher I do wonder because I think we heard this
Speaker 10: with the Cowboys when it came to Rashaun Slater, that
Speaker 10: they viewed him as a guard and not as a tackle.
Speaker 10: And maybe it was the short arms. And I wonder
Speaker 10: because Morgan is similar in that regard, if they would
Speaker 10: take him and say, all right, we feel comfortable playing
Speaker 10: you at left tackle. I think Morgan is a better
Speaker 10: player on tape. I think Geiton is raw that are talented.
Speaker 10: He's big, he's got long arms. He can get to
Speaker 10: the second level. For those that maybe we have talked
Speaker 10: about him quite a bit, but transfer from TCU, played
Speaker 10: at Oklahoma this past year. I think he can play
Speaker 10: left or right side. He's got some versatility on that regard.
Speaker 10: Six ' seven, he's got room to fill out. I
Speaker 10: think the technique can be a little bit sloppy. He
Speaker 10: can get overpowered at times. But at twenty four and
Speaker 10: we've seen if the Cowboys say all right, like with
Speaker 10: Tyler Smith, who a lot of people thought was a project,
Speaker 10: but they see traits that they like that they can
Speaker 10: bold Geiton kind of fits that a little bit for me.
Speaker 10: I wonder if at twenty four, if he's the best
Speaker 10: offensive tackle there. To me, right now, he seems like
Speaker 10: the most likely replacement.
Speaker 6: I'm torn.
Speaker 9: I'm torn on whether they're going to and we kind
Speaker 9: of talked about it before the show started, if they're
Speaker 9: gonna move Tyler back to tackle and then just go
Speaker 9: get a guard. Maybe not in the first round, maybe
Speaker 9: in the second or third round.
Speaker 10: Do you think they need to get a guard, because
Speaker 10: I think I feel TJ. Bass can be a plug
Speaker 10: and play left guard. I'd rather just address center and
Speaker 10: then we can just go for depth pieces behind that.
Speaker 6: I agree.
Speaker 9: I struggle with that because personally, I just think, uh,
Speaker 9: the depth is just it's invaluable to question and I
Speaker 9: and I and again, I do think he's capable of
Speaker 9: being a starter. I don't mean I want to be
Speaker 9: one right now unless he just outright earns it, which
Speaker 9: is he could. But I that's the thing that tears me.
Speaker 9: Do you think that Guidan could play guard?
Speaker 10: No? I think Morgan Morgan play guard. Guid and I
Speaker 10: think needs to probably stay at tackle. I don't see
Speaker 10: the bend there like you do. For Morgan. I think
Speaker 10: he's a little too stiff in the lower body to
Speaker 10: kick inside.
Speaker 6: So you guys are comfortable with a rookie left tackle, yeah.
Speaker 7: Just because just because of their history, the history here
Speaker 7: of this organization, first round offensive tackles have been plug
Speaker 7: and play. That that is, that is something that you know,
Speaker 7: you can fault him for some things, but everyone that
Speaker 7: they've ever addressed is a first round offensive lineman. Seems
Speaker 7: to have worked out for them. And now, but we
Speaker 7: saw a poor draft last year. We've always talked about
Speaker 7: them about being a great drafting team. You hope you
Speaker 7: hope that this is not one of those times that
Speaker 7: all of a sudden that that doesn't hold true.
Speaker 9: I struggle with that too though, because I'm just like,
Speaker 9: there's other skill players that are there.
Speaker 6: If there's other.
Speaker 9: Players there, you know, bitting on the fact, like, oh,
Speaker 9: if I get a first round talent, then yeah, I
Speaker 9: mean great.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I'll tell you what happened though, Ayisha, And
Speaker 7: I think you know this, all these players that went
Speaker 7: out the out the door, they lost their flexibility for
Speaker 7: best available player.
Speaker 6: It hurt.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you now you're now there's two things you need
Speaker 7: to think about in this draft, addressing your needs and
Speaker 7: how can I get a fourth round pick?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a crappy place to be in.
Speaker 7: And that's where all of a sudden you start to say,
Speaker 7: maybe the level of the tackle that you want to
Speaker 7: take is not there. Maybe all of a sudden, now
Speaker 7: you're saying, well, we've got to grab a center here,
Speaker 7: and there's gonna be somebody on your board when you
Speaker 7: get to twenty four and you're gonna look down and
Speaker 7: you're going, I got this linebacker graded higher. Yep, I've
Speaker 7: got this wide receiver graded higher, and you're gonna and
Speaker 7: you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Have to I think.
Speaker 7: I think the way that free agency went for this team,
Speaker 7: and I'm sure somebody walked down the hall and hit
Speaker 7: me up side the head with a board and say, no, no,
Speaker 7: you're wrong.
Speaker 3: I would love for that to happen within the next
Speaker 3: forty minutes. Yeah, you can get it on camera. But
Speaker 3: see that's what I'm saying, though.
Speaker 7: I just feel like they've lost their flexibility for best
Speaker 7: available player.
Speaker 3: You can't take Cede Lamb in this draft, not anymore
Speaker 3: because people go, well, what are you gonna do, etc.
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do a left tackle? What are
Speaker 3: you gonna do at lineback?
Speaker 10: How you end up with a bad draft class though,
Speaker 10: because you're right, I which with you, But you draft
Speaker 10: for need, that's.
Speaker 3: How you end up teaching draft for teams.
Speaker 7: Do draft for need? You draft best available player with
Speaker 7: based on your need. So they're going to hope. And
Speaker 7: that's why I think the Tyler Smith moving to tackle
Speaker 7: spot could be what if the right the correct.
Speaker 3: Tax is not on that board. Sure you don't like Morgan,
Speaker 3: maybe like Martin Johnson.
Speaker 7: I will say this about Guidon Okay, And I learned
Speaker 7: this working in that room with Jerry Jones. If you
Speaker 7: tell him he reminds you of somebody he knows, it
Speaker 7: will make sense.
Speaker 3: Someone in that room is going to say flows l
Speaker 3: Adams to him, Okay. Somebody's going to say a six ' eight.
Speaker 7: No, okay, somebody is yes. Somebody is going to in
Speaker 7: that room, if they know better, is going to mention
Speaker 7: the name Flozell Adams, huge man, athlete, played guard, played tackle.
Speaker 7: You know, he he was the exactly See, That's that's
Speaker 7: what Jerry understands when you tell him, hey, boss, he
Speaker 7: reminds me of this guy, And all of a sudden,
Speaker 7: Jerry starts looking over the top of his glasses like, Okay,
Speaker 7: I see what you're talking about here, you know.
Speaker 3: So that's how you sell guid in to him, I believe.
Speaker 7: But the flexibility of taking Aisha's best wide receiver or
Speaker 7: best corner off that board. Now corner, maybe maybe you
Speaker 7: could take the best corner and you'd be okay, But
Speaker 7: you take a wide receiver.
Speaker 3: What if that tight end got to you? You know
Speaker 3: what I mean?
Speaker 4: There's if is there? Are you taking him?
Speaker 7: That's I'm saying you need to And I talked about kill.
Speaker 10: You for that one because because Brian, you've taught me,
Speaker 10: don't window dress that board right.
Speaker 2: No, So like in the situation going into the to me,
Speaker 2: I don't think that.
Speaker 3: I don't think that you can view it like that.
Speaker 3: I don't think my view of team building.
Speaker 7: Don't tell them they're going You don't think they're going
Speaker 7: to stack their board with all their needs in the
Speaker 7: top of that board and your window.
Speaker 3: Dress on your board.
Speaker 7: Well, they have to, they have no choice. They got
Speaker 7: to make sure that they get the guys that they want.
Speaker 10: But they are a football team where they're only way
Speaker 10: of team building right now, and they can disagree and
Speaker 10: that's totally fine. But what they've proven over the last
Speaker 10: few years is we are building through the draft. Your
Speaker 10: same needs that you have right now aren't your same
Speaker 10: needs you're gonna have next year. And where you're drafting,
Speaker 10: you aren't drafting for this year, you're drafting for four
Speaker 10: you're drafting for five years now. When they took Ceedee Lamb,
Speaker 10: was he a need pick? No, he ends up being
Speaker 10: one of their best picks of the last decade. And
Speaker 10: where would you be without him right now? So if
Speaker 10: I take light too, Law too, and he's the best
Speaker 10: player on my board, and yes, I'm desperate for a center,
Speaker 10: Yes I'm desperate for a tackle.
Speaker 3: Four years from now, are you.
Speaker 10: Going to look back if law two hits and say, damn,
Speaker 10: that was a bad pick we really should have taken.
Speaker 3: Probably No.
Speaker 10: And that's how good teams draft, and that's why this
Speaker 10: team's been a good drafting team. You get in trouble
Speaker 10: when you take a Mazzie Smith, Sure who doesn't pan out,
Speaker 10: and maybe he still will.
Speaker 3: I'm not losing out just an.
Speaker 10: Example right now, but because oh, we really need to
Speaker 10: help our run game, we really need a big defensive tackle.
Speaker 10: That's how teams end up taking the wrong players because
Speaker 10: they go ahead and draft for need and they don't
Speaker 10: take the player that they grated the best. I agree
Speaker 10: with you, and I think if you take a player
Speaker 10: like that in a position like that, then you're good.
Speaker 3: You take the best player on your board.
Speaker 2: He's probably gonna end up being one of the better
Speaker 2: players because you evaluate them, you trust them in whatever
Speaker 2: that ends up being.
Speaker 3: But the one thing you said in that whole monologue
Speaker 3: is the.
Speaker 2: Fact you said desperate. They are desperate in a couple
Speaker 2: of spots. Whenever CD Lamb was taken, they weren't desperate
Speaker 2: in a couple of spots. There were some spots sure
Speaker 2: that it was probably a bigger need than wide receiver
Speaker 2: they should have used at edge.
Speaker 3: Desperate for an edge. They were desperate. I wouldn't say
Speaker 3: desperate though, because they still had Tank Lawrence.
Speaker 2: They still had some pieces that they had already invested in,
Speaker 2: like a Dorn's arms.
Speaker 10: You don't think there's a scout in that room that'll
Speaker 10: say like, oh, we got TJ. Batch, we got brought
Speaker 10: Coff and we can line up and play if we
Speaker 10: had you.
Speaker 3: Are we desperate?
Speaker 10: Yes, So we're so desperate we're gonna read one and
Speaker 10: I'm not gonna take a one.
Speaker 3: I think you're just it's a bad strategy.
Speaker 4: That's where you move back though. That's that's where you
Speaker 4: have the flexibility of picking up that force.
Speaker 3: We can we can go ahead and move back. I'm
Speaker 3: okay with moving back. Can we can trade back.
Speaker 4: My question though, is when you're drafting you say you're
Speaker 4: you're against drafting for need. Let's say you are drafting
Speaker 4: for need. You need to be able to do that.
Speaker 4: You need to have trust in your scouting depart I
Speaker 4: don't think it'd be hard pressed to find another organization
Speaker 4: that trusts for scouting department.
Speaker 3: More a lot of pressure usually coming after more pressure
Speaker 3: on them.
Speaker 10: If you're going to overdraft a player, when those scouts said, hey,
Speaker 10: this guy's clearly better, and now we're going to go
Speaker 10: ahead and take X for need and pass on a
Speaker 10: guy that we have evaluated.
Speaker 7: They're not going to jumps. They're going to make sure
Speaker 7: all those guys.
Speaker 3: Are in luck there. Yeah, and I'm not against drafting
Speaker 3: for need.
Speaker 10: I'm just against doing it when we clearly have a
Speaker 10: better player that is there that is slid just for
Speaker 10: the sake of drafting a need pick.
Speaker 2: Would you be overdrafting Jordan Morgan, Tyler, Guidon, Amarius.
Speaker 10: Mems who else? I mean, that's it really just depends
Speaker 10: on who else would be sitting there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they just don't have the luxury, to me, with
Speaker 9: how the draft went last year, to not be aggressive
Speaker 9: and to not you need contribution from your top three
Speaker 9: picks at the very least immediately.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't get a contribution from an edge if you drafted.
Speaker 6: You would, That's what I'm a I'm agreeing with you.
Speaker 9: I'm agreeing with you, right, I know, I'm like Lord Mersey,
Speaker 9: I ain't have to get you. I feel the same way.
Speaker 9: I think they have put themselves in a bad situation.
Speaker 9: But a lot of it has to do with the
Speaker 9: lack of contribution from your draft picks last year and
Speaker 9: not knowing what they're going to be because quite frankly,
Speaker 9: we're talking about tackle.
Speaker 6: We have no idea what awesome Richards is.
Speaker 3: That's the problem.
Speaker 6: That's the problem, no idea.
Speaker 9: But maybe they do and maybe that maybe that may
Speaker 9: play into Connor what you were talking about with t J.
Speaker 9: Bis and brock Kaufman. They might be like, well, maybe
Speaker 9: we can't get a receiver here because they do have
Speaker 9: faith in what Awesome has.
Speaker 6: We just don't have that right now.
Speaker 7: I agree with you to a point, and the point
Speaker 7: I would think I would feel a lot better if
Speaker 7: I knew what Awesome Richards was instead of Tuma Adoka
Speaker 7: playing tackle. I agree, But I and I know, and
Speaker 7: I know what Matt Let's go is. He's got his
Speaker 7: he's got his shoulders getting fixed. Okay, I think Matt
Speaker 7: well Let's go is a tough guy and all that.
Speaker 7: He just hadn't play. But I don't know if they
Speaker 7: could tell me what they know about Awesome Richards, you know.
Speaker 3: And maybe, like I say, you're right, maybe they've got
Speaker 3: it all squared up.
Speaker 7: I wish they would have played Awesome Richards then, and
Speaker 7: that way I would have feel better about I do
Speaker 7: know I've seen their left guard play at a high
Speaker 7: level at left tackle.
Speaker 3: I know that i'd seen that one with my own eyes.
Speaker 9: Are you in the mindset though, I'm in the mindset
Speaker 9: of wherever they put him this year?
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I think they can move them one
Speaker 3: more time and then you're you're done. I'm over. You're
Speaker 3: staying stay put.
Speaker 6: It's not even me, and I'm over it, not even me.
Speaker 2: All right, we got through a whopping one position through
Speaker 2: this game.
Speaker 3: No, like I loved the conversation.
Speaker 2: I'll take it the way I'm It's a debate that
Speaker 2: will ray John from now and then thirty seven days
Speaker 2: later in the NFL Draft, when the war room is
Speaker 2: lit up across the hallway and normally you could.
Speaker 4: Do a quick fire around, just go like we're gonna go.
Speaker 3: We're gonna push it into the second seconds, right, We're
Speaker 3: gonna fire. Are gonna push it into the second segment.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get to the rest.
Speaker 2: Of that when we come back with more of the

Speaker 4: That's football, all right.
Speaker 2: I want to get to the rest of these positions
Speaker 2: that need to be replaced for the Cowboys. We got
Speaker 2: through offensive tackle. Thanks Zach Wolcheck for starting and sparking.
Speaker 3: That debate we had. I thought it was an It
Speaker 3: was a very fun conversation. Well, I'm gonna start with
Speaker 3: you on this one. Aha. Tyler Biais has gone at center.
Speaker 2: Who's the most likely draft prospect to replace him?
Speaker 6: If they're picking in the early rounds.
Speaker 3: Wherever you feel like the value fits best.
Speaker 6: Do you guys have a first one?
Speaker 3: I have a third.
Speaker 4: I think I had fourth.
Speaker 3: That's what you believe. I believe.
Speaker 9: I believe that they would like his temperament, and I
Speaker 9: do believe that they also would if they didn't pick
Speaker 9: a center.
Speaker 6: I just don't see them picking a center in.
Speaker 3: The first round.
Speaker 6: Feel that in my spirit.
Speaker 3: I'm with you.
Speaker 9: So I think I think he's I think he's a
Speaker 9: respected player. I think people know who he is and
Speaker 9: things like that. He still can use some polish, I think,
Speaker 9: and I think this team has started to kind of
Speaker 9: like that.
Speaker 6: I feel like they have drafted guys. It's really hard
Speaker 6: not to look at this last draft with the draft
Speaker 6: before that.
Speaker 9: You do see that they like some guys that have
Speaker 9: a little bit of rawness to them that they can
Speaker 9: maybe polish. I think that set of being praying as
Speaker 9: a gentleman that they could take and maybe the third
Speaker 9: round if they had that option, to clear up that
Speaker 9: center position. Is there any guy in the later rounds
Speaker 9: that's a center that you guys are interested?
Speaker 4: I started to talk about Bordalini, although I feel like
Speaker 4: he's creeping in the Day two territory for sure.
Speaker 2: Can I throw out Mason mccormicks out to coach. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I put very athletic that spoiler alert.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's a guard. Yeah, I think he's
Speaker 3: a guard.
Speaker 2: But if you're talking about filling some spots, yeah, maybe
Speaker 2: move TJ.
Speaker 3: Bass inside or.
Speaker 4: Nat Lee out of Miami. Has a little dog to him.
Speaker 4: He's raw, but he's got some dogs at the shroom ball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're talking dog. So I gotta give bou limmerg
Speaker 3: just a little bit of the.
Speaker 6: Fourth round, like opposite, we talked about this the other week.
Speaker 9: If they don't pick in the third round, I think
Speaker 9: Bo's a guy that maybe might be there the fourth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if you pick up that.
Speaker 9: Fourth, Yeah, if you pick up that fourth, fourth, I
Speaker 9: think he's he's doing himself too much justice with how
Speaker 9: he's performed as of late. I think that he's doing
Speaker 9: he's getting more traction bo is in my opinion, because
Speaker 9: at first I would have been like, oh, maybe he's
Speaker 9: like a fifth and some people's eyes early fifth, late fourth.
Speaker 9: But the way that he's played, and it's just his
Speaker 9: attitude and the way he can wrestle in there, like that's.
Speaker 6: What people are looking for.
Speaker 3: Just doesn't quit man, what you got.
Speaker 4: I want to continue to bang the table for Christian
Speaker 4: Hands as a potential center option.
Speaker 3: I do love that option too.
Speaker 4: If he's there, If he's sitting there in eighty seven,
Speaker 4: you take that, Yeah, I would to you take him
Speaker 4: to I think he I think he comes off in
Speaker 4: the second round there. Yeah, I think he comes off
Speaker 4: late second. But I think once you start getting past
Speaker 4: pick fifty to fifty five, especially with this offensive line class,
Speaker 4: that's gonna be really fluid, and I think it's gonna
Speaker 4: it's there's a lot of shaking around that could happen there.
Speaker 4: I think there's some guys that might might go later
Speaker 4: than they were expected, or guys that'll go earlier than
Speaker 4: they may maybe would have expected.
Speaker 3: Christian Hanes a center though, Yeah, I think he can
Speaker 3: play center guard forty nine straight games a guard. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I saw him play center at a Senior Bowl. I
Speaker 3: loved what I saw. A smart player, yes.
Speaker 4: Really smart player IQ pre snap tendencies and he was
Speaker 4: calling out stuff pre snap for Yukon. So yeah, that's
Speaker 4: a that's a guy I would want in the in
Speaker 4: the middle.
Speaker 9: Okay, I have another gentleman. Have you guys watched Gear Greenfield,
Speaker 9: South Dakota. Yes, okay, that he's a guard. I don't
Speaker 9: think he's I don't think I don't I'm not sure
Speaker 9: if he can move to center, but he is a
Speaker 9: guard that I think maybe somebody.
Speaker 6: Might think about possibly he could play some center.
Speaker 9: Just because of how he finishes and how he bounces
Speaker 9: off the line.
Speaker 6: He's a four year starter. He's just so tall and
Speaker 6: I'm very tall. He's very tall, very lengthy.
Speaker 9: I don't know if you want that for a center,
Speaker 9: but I do think he's a guy that is gonna
Speaker 9: fall maybe be in the later rounds that people might
Speaker 9: look at.
Speaker 4: So there's so many fun so talented.
Speaker 9: They're talented and their their technique is very sound as well.
Speaker 9: But yeah, all right, so you covered a million centers.
Speaker 9: But said to brand is a gentleman that I think
Speaker 9: might be down He's.
Speaker 3: A nasty guy, too tough. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 7: And I I love what I just did there because
Speaker 7: to me with you know people not maybe you're gonna
Speaker 7: down play him a little bit because he's two hundred.
Speaker 3: Ninety eight pounds right now for that, but you know,
Speaker 3: he's a stout guy.
Speaker 7: He had a little bit more trouble with the power
Speaker 7: in the Tennessee game than the Kentucky game that I watched.
Speaker 7: But man, I'll tell you what, though he's got some
Speaker 7: his nastiness is impressive.
Speaker 3: And you know, I.
Speaker 7: Think because when he keeps his feet moving, he he
Speaker 7: could be hard to deal with because he can position,
Speaker 7: he can kind of wall you off.
Speaker 3: He could keep you from the ball.
Speaker 7: But that's that's where in space, I think he's a
Speaker 7: nightmared for these defenders to deal with because he gets
Speaker 7: out in space he.
Speaker 3: Could pull second level.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of really positive things about them, as
Speaker 7: as a said, But the thing is he is two
Speaker 7: hundred and ninety eight pounds right now, so you know,
Speaker 7: we probably need to keep an eye on that.
Speaker 9: I talk myself out of it because I just realized.
Speaker 6: That they need people to play in the third round.
Speaker 9: And if they think Kaufman is going to be a starter,
Speaker 9: are you going to use a third round on a
Speaker 9: center if he's not gonna play it?
Speaker 3: Because I think he's what do you believe? What do
Speaker 3: you do you think, bro I think I don't want
Speaker 3: to know what they think. I want to know what
Speaker 3: you think.
Speaker 2: Do you think brock Hoffman would be better starting or
Speaker 2: do you think Cedric Van Pram would be.
Speaker 3: A better starter.
Speaker 9: I think he's capable of starting. I just we haven't
Speaker 9: seen a whole bunch from him. I like what I
Speaker 9: saw from him in a few games that he did
Speaker 9: play though, just the fire and the ball. I thought
Speaker 9: he and TJ. Bass worked really well together. And I
Speaker 9: think your interior has to have that temperament like and
Speaker 9: it can't be for play play either.
Speaker 2: It can't be like I lost, absolutely.
Speaker 9: Not and even be hodish like I felt like he
Speaker 9: had the attitude but it didn show.
Speaker 6: Up in his play all the time.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 9: So baby, if you're talking, you better be firing off
Speaker 9: that ball the same way you talking.
Speaker 6: So for me, I think that it has to match.
Speaker 9: And with Hoffman, I feel like his talk and how
Speaker 9: he is attitudely matches what we've seen for him the
Speaker 9: times we've seen him play. I think he's people respect.
Speaker 6: Him in the locker room for what I understand. I
Speaker 6: think he's capable.
Speaker 9: But if you can't get better there, I think it
Speaker 9: just depends on if you.
Speaker 3: You brought up you brought up Van Prant, give me
Speaker 3: him all day over?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, We've talked about these sinners and
Speaker 7: all that.
Speaker 3: I think there's an opportunity here to upgrade.
Speaker 7: I think this is one of this classes of sinners
Speaker 7: where we named off five guys and I felt like like.
Speaker 3: Every one of them. When you name the guy, I said, yeah,
Speaker 3: and if.
Speaker 6: Is a really good backup, you're blessed.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I'm sorry about death. You sorry about depth position?
Speaker 4: Yes, I haven't.
Speaker 2: Well real quickly in this entire conversation, I'm kind of shocked.
Speaker 3: I didn't hear any Graham Barton talk out of Duke Well.
Speaker 6: I didn't think he oh well.
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, four. Do you think he got in there?
Speaker 3: That's my that is my dream selection.
Speaker 6: You think he's going to be there.
Speaker 10: That's why to take Graham Barton at twenty four out of.
Speaker 3: Due Graham Barton would be outstanding there.
Speaker 7: To me, if you traded back to Buffalo at twenty eight,
Speaker 7: Baltimore at thirty picked up the late third round pick,
Speaker 7: remember we talked about that before Day three starts.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm looking at.
Speaker 10: Fraser Frasers, Well, yeah, I mean either way, just landing
Speaker 10: a tackle.
Speaker 7: If you can tell me a tackle you could trade
Speaker 7: back for, or a sinner you could trade back for.
Speaker 3: I mean exacting.
Speaker 4: I'm a Frasier.
Speaker 7: Give me four picks inside the top one hundred yep,
Speaker 7: and I'm playing.
Speaker 3: I'm fixing this football team.
Speaker 4: Sounds good to Yeah, and another guy to keep an
Speaker 4: eye on it. We haven't really talked about him as
Speaker 4: much when we talk about this tackle class. I feel
Speaker 4: like he kind of gets lost in the shuff a
Speaker 4: little bit, just because he's comfortably a second round grade,
Speaker 4: but a potential trade back option that you're looking at
Speaker 4: in that thirty to thirty five range. Let's say they
Speaker 4: end up in there. Kingsley Sue Sue Taya out of
Speaker 4: a b YU. He's got the guard flex, so you
Speaker 4: can bring him in and see if he works better
Speaker 4: at left guard or left tackle. You're able to work
Speaker 4: him out with Tyler Smith in that instance. He's a
Speaker 4: transfer from Morgan. He was a highly touted recruit, played
Speaker 4: a couple of years there at b YU and was
Speaker 4: really strong, first team All Big twelve. I like Kingsley.
Speaker 4: I think you would be too.
Speaker 3: I think you're right all right.
Speaker 2: Linebacker Nick Harris, So.
Speaker 4: I'm what what linebacker role are we trying to?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 4: Fil got Eric Kendrick. So'm I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 2: Give me a true Mike linebacker, a true mic Yes, Okay,
Speaker 2: then I'm giving you Junior Coles.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ten times out of ten.
Speaker 3: Second round. Don't look at that, don't look at the helmet.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah at all at all. Yeah, I'm taking
Speaker 4: Junior Colson if he's there.
Speaker 2: Fifty six out of your last four first or second
Speaker 2: round picks have come from the University of Michigan. That yeah,
Speaker 2: wa to say they've got a ring, not at all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Junior Colson probably a Day two option, a Day
Speaker 4: three option that I've I'm starting to love a little
Speaker 4: bit more the more I I look into him. Is
Speaker 4: a Jordan McGee out of Temple. That's another one that
Speaker 4: I like. That was a formal meeting at the combine.
Speaker 4: Trevin Wallace. We mentioned him a few times.
Speaker 3: Out of Wallace, I just watched him. I saw Kentucky, right, Yes,
Speaker 3: somebody talked to me about him. Yeah. Where's the third,
Speaker 3: fourth round? Where is he?
Speaker 4: We're probably looking at a fifth fifth, probably just because
Speaker 4: he's five eleven. There's probably a little bit a size
Speaker 4: concerns there, especially when you're looking at it from Cowboys perspective,
Speaker 4: you feel like you really need big body linebacker.
Speaker 3: That's why he's a little shorter.
Speaker 4: He's a little shorter so I but I think he's
Speaker 4: athletic freak.
Speaker 3: He's high instincts.
Speaker 4: He's he's going to be a thirty visit. That was
Speaker 4: reported by Nicole Hutcheson, So you know that's a guy
Speaker 4: that they're looking at pretty closely too.
Speaker 3: He shed's blocks well.
Speaker 10: I think he does a good job and navigating around
Speaker 10: the trash, can drop back and coverage, can play man zone.
Speaker 10: I think he's really good at filling holes in the
Speaker 10: running game. Like he plays with his the instincts and
Speaker 10: his eye awareness very very strong. I mean in high
Speaker 10: school he was a dude that played all over the field,
Speaker 10: even returned kicks, stay weightlifting champs, set the school record
Speaker 10: for long jump. He's kind of just a freak athlete
Speaker 10: type dude. I absolutely love him. I will say, you
Speaker 10: want a true Mike. And maybe it's just because he
Speaker 10: was hurt, so he's not getting a ton of love
Speaker 10: and I know the athleticism is not there. But Tommy
Speaker 10: Eikenberg from Ohio State, Yeah, like in the fourth round,
Speaker 10: I would just say, you know.
Speaker 3: What, has he slipped that far?
Speaker 10: Well, he just a guy that I don't think is
Speaker 10: getting a whole lot of.
Speaker 4: Conversations because he's just a guy. He's a jack, you know.
Speaker 3: But I don't think there's a And I'm not going.
Speaker 10: To argue that because I mean at the athletic traits
Speaker 10: there and I put that in my notes, like there's
Speaker 10: nothing special with the speed, but he makes plays.
Speaker 9: And that's unfortunate too, because I think a lot of
Speaker 9: that has to do with how he's built and just
Speaker 9: kind of how he looks.
Speaker 6: But even when you.
Speaker 9: Looked at like a Jack Campbell last year who has
Speaker 9: that kind of bulk build and things like that, he
Speaker 9: still had more coverage ability. To me, he still was
Speaker 9: a more fluid mover and things like that. We got
Speaker 9: to see it this year. So to your point, I
Speaker 9: don't know, I don't know. If I don't know, if
Speaker 9: I would take I canberg.
Speaker 6: I think that I don't know.
Speaker 9: I don't even know, because I feel like, what is
Speaker 9: he even going to give you on special teams with
Speaker 9: his lack of movement, because you know, these young guys
Speaker 9: are gonna.
Speaker 3: Have to play that guy he'll run down and cover.
Speaker 6: There's a part Okay, well, okay, then correct me then.
Speaker 9: But that's a part of it that I do think
Speaker 9: is important is to also realize they've lost pieces on
Speaker 9: special teams too, and I felt like they took a
Speaker 9: step back last year and coverage and things like that.
Speaker 9: So some of these guys that we're talking about that
Speaker 9: are like, Okay, well are we gonna are these guys,
Speaker 9: these linebackers, the guys gonna come in and play early.
Speaker 9: I'm like, yeah, maybe they need to be able to
Speaker 9: run down to If.
Speaker 7: You're gonna take Jack Campbell from Iowa from last year,
Speaker 7: take Peyton Wilson from North Carolina.
Speaker 9: State, you think so, yeah, I mean yeah, because he
Speaker 9: is Jack had injuries to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 2: I don't know about the but I'm just saying the
Speaker 2: same kind of players.
Speaker 7: You what a player that can play downhill, could cover
Speaker 7: fill gaps.
Speaker 3: That's mean to me. I'm getting to the point now
Speaker 3: with I'm this is gonna sound terrible. This thing.
Speaker 7: I wonder, with the injury history with Peyton Wilson, if
Speaker 7: he is going to be one of those guys that
Speaker 7: you're sitting there in the third round and he's still.
Speaker 4: There and you're wondering why he's still there.
Speaker 3: You know why?
Speaker 7: You know, I guarantee you there's gonna come down to
Speaker 7: we're getting close to Dallas's pick there in the third round,
Speaker 7: and Peyton Wilson be on the board, and we're all
Speaker 7: gonna look at each other and go, do we have
Speaker 7: the guts to do this?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 6: Somebody's gonna take a chance on him.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, you're the one that's pushing the button.
Speaker 7: If you're the one that kid is, you want to
Speaker 7: you want a linebacker that plays with his hair on fire.
Speaker 7: Got is Peyton Wilson, and he's got nothing probably left
Speaker 7: in his knees.
Speaker 10: He's the best linebacker in the draft, the first off
Speaker 10: the ballard.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: If we would all say that he's we would all
Speaker 7: say the third round that he's the best player.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not speaking for you, I'm speaking for
Speaker 3: myself here. I agree with you. You can talk for
Speaker 3: me on that.
Speaker 7: But I mean, this guy is so complete in the
Speaker 7: way he plays, and all of a sudden, Dallas has
Speaker 7: a history of doing this, and it kills me because
Speaker 7: they get four or five years, six years out of
Speaker 7: a guy.
Speaker 3: And we saw it yesterday Leyton.
Speaker 7: Vanderish, you know, and he had an injury history coming
Speaker 7: out of Bois, you know, and it caught up. We've
Speaker 7: had it happen several Cowboy players, linebackers. But you know what,
Speaker 7: in the third round, if I wanted to go get
Speaker 7: a linebacker that was still sitting there of Peyton Wilson's
Speaker 7: still sitting there for North Carolina State, hand that damn
Speaker 7: card in.
Speaker 2: Please I'm too Yeah, all right, I want to take
Speaker 2: our second break.
Speaker 3: When we come back. We haven't talked a lot about
Speaker 3: the cornerback class. We haven't talked about some of these dbs.
Speaker 3: I want to do a positional spotlight with that. Who
Speaker 3: stands out?
Speaker 2: Where is the value any late risers among this cornerback class?
Speaker 3: When we come back right after this with more of

Speaker 2: the best in Texas. It's the Draft Show presented by Miller.
Speaker 2: Like taste, you can depend on with Brian brad us
Speaker 2: Aysham Morrison, Nick Harris, Sack Walchuck. I'm Kyle Yeoman's all right, Ayusha,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you start things off here. Positional spotlight time.
Speaker 2: It's time to take a deep dive into the cornerback spot.
Speaker 2: Who stands out to you? Are there any names that
Speaker 2: we should keep an eye on?
Speaker 9: Yeah, y'all, you know you can't say a Michigan player's
Speaker 9: name without people getting upset.
Speaker 6: But okay, Mike Sanders still got it.
Speaker 9: Okay, cool quarterback cornerback Michigan. I watched him last night
Speaker 9: and we were talking about it even on the break.
Speaker 9: This is this might be the best nickel corner in
Speaker 9: this draft. He's so, he's he's It's interesting how he's
Speaker 9: able to stay square and bend. He's not the biggest,
Speaker 9: but he comes downhill and he plays big, very right.
Speaker 6: He's little nuts, very willing tackler.
Speaker 9: This gentleman started as a receiver, and I think you
Speaker 9: can see that in some of how he plays his keys.
Speaker 6: And he has versatility.
Speaker 9: I think he can play in multiple UH defensive coverages.
Speaker 9: I think he can do more. I don't know about
Speaker 9: the functional play strength just now. But I know he
Speaker 9: has a good feel. I think he's a fit. I
Speaker 9: know he can play man, but I think he could
Speaker 9: grow there. And obviously converted from wide receiver, it is
Speaker 9: gonna take him some time to get a little bit
Speaker 9: more feel for that. The short area of quickness is there,
Speaker 9: the burst and then acceleration to make plays, you know,
Speaker 9: on the ball, to play recognition. If you listen to
Speaker 9: some of the guys from even talking about the Senior Bowl,
Speaker 9: they were saying that he was calling out plays as
Speaker 9: they were getting into them. So the IQ's high with
Speaker 9: this gentleman also too, I think his transitions are things
Speaker 9: he can still work on. Again, this is still a
Speaker 9: somewhat raw player, but he just doesn't play that way.
Speaker 9: He plays with patience. He's exciting also too when you
Speaker 9: watch him. He bounces off the tape to you. So
Speaker 9: and again we talked about him playing nickel. I do
Speaker 9: think he has shown the ability to be able to
Speaker 9: track the ball and to not panic downfield when he
Speaker 9: is attacked downfield. But I think this gentleman could thrive
Speaker 9: as a nickel corner and really really make it difficult
Speaker 9: on some of these receivers because he plays with he
Speaker 9: gets his depth, he gets his leverage.
Speaker 6: He's just smart.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, he's happy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a lot of he has upside and that's.
Speaker 9: Exciting because when you watch him, you're already like, dang,
Speaker 9: this do can play. But the fact that he has
Speaker 9: upside in room to grow makes him very intriguing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's probably where the biggest concerns do lie. But
Speaker 4: you mentioned him starting his career a Michigan as receiver,
Speaker 4: and typically when we talk about guys that start the
Speaker 4: careers as receivers in college, there's a it's like okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, that's what he was recruited as, but he
Speaker 4: couldn't really find his placement on the depth chart. Hey,
Speaker 4: let's try you on defense. Oh, you're really working there.
Speaker 4: That wasn't the case with Sanders Stiell. He was productive
Speaker 4: as a slot receiver for the Wolverines in his first
Speaker 4: two years. They move him to the defensive side, and
Speaker 4: he brings a receiver's knowledge to that defensive side because
Speaker 4: he's able to anticipate certain route concepts. He's really good
Speaker 4: as a nickel because he there's so much that you
Speaker 4: have to account for right there in the middle of
Speaker 4: the field as a nickel, and he knows what those
Speaker 4: receivers are trying to do. He brings a wealth of knowledge.
Speaker 4: There had a pretty good combine two four four seven
Speaker 4: forty forty inch vert ten eleven on the broad. I
Speaker 4: love Sandra still really.
Speaker 3: Do what you got. That guy nailed both of you guys.
Speaker 3: Great job on that.
Speaker 7: This guy is for old school people. This is Ronde
Speaker 7: Barber from the old Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Because this guy
Speaker 7: will blitz off the corner. You put him in the slot,
Speaker 7: he will hammer your ass, you know, and he has
Speaker 7: a timing. He has a sense of how to make
Speaker 7: it work. He plays very aware. He's you know, when
Speaker 7: you watch him, he's always going to put himself in position.
Speaker 7: I'd like to see him get his head around a
Speaker 7: little bit quicker sometimes. I think that, you know, early
Speaker 7: this season that was a little bit prompt. Towards the
Speaker 7: end of the season, you saw some improvement there. But
Speaker 7: there's some quick feet to him. There's some smoothness in
Speaker 7: the way he plays. I love the way he plays
Speaker 7: in the slot. I think that's his best spot in
Speaker 7: the NFL. He is an outstanding blitzer and if anybody
Speaker 7: knows about Rhndi Barber from the old Tampa days. You
Speaker 7: put him in the slot and then Nickel you blitz
Speaker 7: him and he was always coming up with a turnover.
Speaker 7: This guy's similar type of player that way.
Speaker 4: I'm going to give you a guy that I'm really
Speaker 4: starting to pay attention to that I think is going
Speaker 4: to be getting a lot of love here late in
Speaker 4: the process. Elijah Jones out of Boston College, six foot
Speaker 4: one and a half one hundred and eighty five pounds,
Speaker 4: more of a slender frame, but he blew the combine
Speaker 4: away with a four four four forty forty two and
Speaker 4: a half ver ten eleven on the broad and he
Speaker 4: was He turned a lot of heads after Indianapolis went
Speaker 4: back and watched him a little bit more. I got
Speaker 4: to talk to him a little bit in Nindy two.
Speaker 4: This is a smart, smart player and he plays with
Speaker 4: it on the outside. He's he doesn't do anything spectacular,
Speaker 4: but he does everything good. And I really love what
Speaker 4: I saw from Elijah Jones. I think he's a guy
Speaker 4: that's going to be valued more and more as this
Speaker 4: process goes on. He's he's a guy that a team
Speaker 4: would love to have at the boundary.
Speaker 2: First word I saw on his report instincts. I haven't
Speaker 2: watched him yet, so I'm just looking at online. But Zerline,
Speaker 2: who does a great job on NFL dot Com, says instincts,
Speaker 2: that's the first thing you pop up. So when you
Speaker 2: say he's a smart player, that's something there. You compare
Speaker 2: that his things with athleticism. I'm writing him down right now.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go back and watch him tonight.
Speaker 3: Zach, who you.
Speaker 10: Got, man, There's so many different corners you could go
Speaker 10: with here, Andrew Phillips comes to mind. I'm gonna go
Speaker 10: with Kyrie Jackson Oregon. Yeah, he's a little bit different
Speaker 10: to some of these dudes we're talking about.
Speaker 3: Six four.
Speaker 10: You mentioned blitzing and I immediately thought Kyrie Jackson led
Speaker 10: Oregon with three picks last year.
Speaker 3: Ten.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he is an alpha, like he's an alpha
Speaker 10: that secondary transfer from Alabama, where he spent his sophomore
Speaker 10: in junior seasons. Played a lot of special teams there
Speaker 10: with the Tidies, big long, tall, boundary corner, really good Blitzer,
Speaker 10: willing to come up set the edge in the running game,
Speaker 10: can play press zone. I think he passes off coverages
Speaker 10: really well, moves and flips his hips. He's got fluidity
Speaker 10: there for its size. Really good athlete. He can get
Speaker 10: beat off the line in press when he doesn't get
Speaker 10: a jam or his feet are just a little bit
Speaker 10: slow to get turned around. I thought Jalen Polk gave
Speaker 10: him a bit of an issue there when he gave
Speaker 10: Polk a free release. He beats him for a touchdown
Speaker 10: in the game that I watched him play against Washington.
Speaker 10: But overall, he does a good job of mirroring receivers downfield,
Speaker 10: and he really does a good job of disrupting route
Speaker 10: timing because he's so physical with guys, so maybe not
Speaker 10: great long speed, He's a long strider, but I like
Speaker 10: the potential of him and Kyrie Jackson's one of these
Speaker 10: guys the confidence in an issue, plays with a lot
Speaker 10: of swagger. I love his play temperament. He's a fun
Speaker 10: player and certainly really really stands out to you when
Speaker 10: you watch that Oregon defense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, reminds me a lot of Nation right when he
Speaker 4: was coming sure, Yeah, especially with the organized Oregon Oregon State.
Speaker 7: Jarvis Brownlee from a Louisville, Yeah, I like him. Is
Speaker 7: a five to nine and ninety four pound corner he's
Speaker 7: transferred from Florida State. He played boundary corner. And when
Speaker 7: I say boundary corner to you guys and you hear
Speaker 7: that phrase, it means they put him into the short
Speaker 7: side of the field, so they use the sideline as
Speaker 7: a little bit of some help over there. It plays
Speaker 7: that short side, so but they also use him in
Speaker 7: the slot that he's to me, I love the way
Speaker 7: he competes at the position. He's really good when he
Speaker 7: walks up on a receiver and he plays that man coverage.
Speaker 7: I think he's best when he's like this, you know what.
Speaker 7: The running aspect him might be a little bit off
Speaker 7: the Notre Dame Senter receiver out on the slot that
Speaker 7: went up and end up being a touchdown on but
Speaker 7: I do feel like he's got the quick feet.
Speaker 3: I think he's got some change of direction.
Speaker 7: I think he's more than willing to step up and
Speaker 7: that could play on the ball when it comes to tackling.
Speaker 3: He's not afraid to mix it up.
Speaker 7: He's got a good feet to mirror on the outside
Speaker 7: and stay with the receiver in the short and.
Speaker 3: Intermediate route areas. And the instincts I like well.
Speaker 7: And he's got a knack for always being around the
Speaker 7: siver and knocking the ball the way. So Jarvis Brownlee,
Speaker 7: he's a cornerback out of Louisville, is a guy that
Speaker 7: I would be like to mention.
Speaker 4: I'm going to Florida State, Yes, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: throw out three names really quick, and then I'm going
Speaker 4: to ask y'all a specific question about one of these
Speaker 4: higher ranked guys that I'd love to get y'all's perspective
Speaker 4: on a couple of HBC you guys. I just want
Speaker 4: to show some love to Willy Drew out of Virginia State.
Speaker 4: He's been training with Mike Santra's still with the great
Speaker 4: dB trainer Jacory Nichols here in the Dallas area, so
Speaker 4: he's he's spent a lot of time in the area.
Speaker 4: Four four to six at the combine for Willie, he's
Speaker 4: a guy that's really starting to pick up some steamers.
Speaker 4: HBCU you guys go, and then you're talking about big
Speaker 4: guys at corner Mikey Victor out of Alabama State six
Speaker 4: three two o nine. He brings a lot of size
Speaker 4: to that outside. We talked about Quantes Stiggers about a
Speaker 4: month ago on this show. Just wanted to update the
Speaker 4: listeners on kind of where he had. Where he's at
Speaker 4: with his journey man. It sounds more and more every
Speaker 4: day like he's gonna get picked. So he had his
Speaker 4: pro day last week and had a really great showing.
Speaker 4: Twenty nine of the thirty two teams were there. The
Speaker 4: Cowboys were one of them. He's got ten thirty visits scheduled,
Speaker 4: so a lot of teams really interested in what he
Speaker 4: has to bring. It just feels like there's more good
Speaker 4: news stacking with him every single day out of.
Speaker 2: The CFL in Toronto. And where did he do his.
Speaker 3: Pro day was his own.
Speaker 4: He did it. He did it at his high school
Speaker 4: that he only had a thirty seven teammates or twenty
Speaker 4: seven teammates at when he was in high school, at
Speaker 4: the Best Academy and Atlanta. He did it right in
Speaker 4: between Georgia and Georgia Tech's pro day, so a lot
Speaker 4: of teams were able to swing through and make it.
Speaker 3: So it's really working out great scheduling on him today.
Speaker 3: Shout out to.
Speaker 4: Shout out to his agent, Fred Lyles. We've gotten to
Speaker 4: interact with him a little bit. Just we're doing a big.
Speaker 3: Fit tread last year at the Combine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's he's he's doing a really good job
Speaker 4: with handling contest stiggers and what he got going on.
Speaker 4: So the question I wanted to ask you about a
Speaker 4: specific highly ranked corner. I look at Nate Wiggins out
Speaker 4: of Clemson. I really love what he brings to the table.
Speaker 4: I think he's physical despite him being extremely slender, And
Speaker 4: that kind of leads into my question here. Came in
Speaker 4: at six seventy three at the Combine. I know the
Speaker 4: weight is concerning a lot of people. It's it's kind
Speaker 4: of the same question that you ask with Xavier Worthy.
Speaker 4: You know, if he ran a four to two three,
Speaker 4: are we talking about him being one hundred and sixty
Speaker 4: five pounds a little bit more? But talking about it
Speaker 4: on the defensive side. Nate Wiggins ran a four to
Speaker 4: two eight, and we're talking a lot about his weight
Speaker 4: coming out of the Combine. Granted he came back to
Speaker 4: Clemson's pro day last week and was one eighty eight,
Speaker 4: but how much of that is you know, water weight
Speaker 4: and realizing that you kind of have to weigh in
Speaker 4: at a pretty acceptable number for these scouts that are
Speaker 4: in attendance and plus you're in your own backyard, You're
Speaker 4: able to prep for a little bit better.
Speaker 3: But do you guys worry about.
Speaker 4: Having a slender corner in a league today where you
Speaker 4: need to be a little bit more physical than Finesse.
Speaker 3: We did that last year with.
Speaker 7: Our Mississippi States and he had a little bit of
Speaker 7: a rough year, uh, you know, with dealing with that.
Speaker 7: And I think over all the Commanders had a rough
Speaker 7: year on defense. And you know, and I'm not putting
Speaker 7: it all on the kid. I man, I kind of
Speaker 7: feel like with Wiggins, I kind of feel like he's
Speaker 7: a better zone corner than he is a man corner.
Speaker 4: I'm with you on that, Yeah, I mean, and that's
Speaker 4: his style. I mean, that's why this size has been
Speaker 4: able to work.
Speaker 3: Physical.
Speaker 7: I've got the kid in the first round and I
Speaker 7: and I did it on the tape that I watched.
Speaker 7: And because I do see a guy with loose hips,
Speaker 7: I do see top end speed. I do see him
Speaker 7: getting moved. His socks move faster than everybody else's socks.
Speaker 3: On the field.
Speaker 7: You could see that on tape. And you know, but
Speaker 7: I mean he'll break on the ball. I've seen him
Speaker 7: wrap up as a tackler. I mean, the effort was good,
Speaker 7: so I were he refuses to give up on a play,
Speaker 7: and that's what I really appreciated about the kid. And
Speaker 7: I could see some people because of the way, are
Speaker 7: gonna are probably gonna ding him a little bit. But
Speaker 7: I think he plays fast. I think he plays quick.
Speaker 7: I think you're gonna he's gonna have to go to
Speaker 7: the right place that kind of understands it. Maybe he's
Speaker 7: a little bit better in zone coverage and then the
Speaker 7: slot stuff than he is playing man.
Speaker 6: Also too, I think it's gonna be important with him.
Speaker 9: I mean, because it is kind of crappy that Emanuel
Speaker 9: Forbes happened last year, and that's just kind of clear yet.
Speaker 9: But I also do think that we talked about it, it
Speaker 9: wasn't just there was a lot of things wrong with
Speaker 9: Washington's defense.
Speaker 11: I am.
Speaker 9: I think they will get some coaching, better coaching, especially
Speaker 9: on the secondary side of things. And that's my thing
Speaker 9: is with Wiggins is whoever takes him, if you are
Speaker 9: going to put weight on him, you have to be
Speaker 9: strategic and careful on how you do it. I don't
Speaker 9: think you don't want to take away from his speed
Speaker 9: and to Bryan's point. He still is coming up and
Speaker 9: tackling and things like that. It's not like I don't.
Speaker 3: Know struggles all blocks. It is the only thing with
Speaker 3: that size. But he is willing to come up and tackle.
Speaker 6: That's fair.
Speaker 9: So I think it's going to be scheme fit personally,
Speaker 9: and then also to deciding if put in weight on
Speaker 9: him is going to be beneficial or if it's going
Speaker 9: to hurt more, because I think it might hurt more
Speaker 9: because the speed and his anticipation in some of the
Speaker 9: things he's able to do because he's lighter is what
Speaker 9: makes him the player that he is.
Speaker 2: I've got one more name for you to throw out there.
Speaker 2: I'm want to see if you guys have watched him yet.
Speaker 2: How about Max Melton.
Speaker 3: I really like him a lot, A third round grade
Speaker 3: on him. I think he's a twitchy athlete.
Speaker 2: He had a phenomenal combine, ninety nine percent tile on
Speaker 2: the broad jump. He was a four to three nine
Speaker 2: record yes from Rutgers uh ninety four percent tile in
Speaker 2: the vertical, physical and aggressive despite just being five eleven
Speaker 2: one five, So he's got some size to him.
Speaker 3: The link is fine. I'm okay with the link.
Speaker 2: It's the physicality and the technice puts it at the
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. I think there are times whenever his
Speaker 2: footwork gets sloppy, there's times when he is out of position,
Speaker 2: he bites on the double move.
Speaker 3: But overall, I think he's an athlete that you can teach.
Speaker 2: And you talked about growth ability, I he shue with
Speaker 2: some of these corners.
Speaker 3: I think he's another guy that has all the traits.
Speaker 3: He has some legitimate instincts.
Speaker 2: It's just technique that needs to be sharpened, and he's
Speaker 2: able to take a step forward and be a really
Speaker 2: good corner.
Speaker 7: In This kid US number sixteen. This kid has a
Speaker 7: knack for blocking kicks too. If you go back and
Speaker 7: look at his story that he on special teams he plays,
Speaker 7: he can get up on receivers really really tight and
Speaker 7: be very disruptive the way he plays. And then also
Speaker 7: see him playing zone and he pedals sideways, you know,
Speaker 7: like he gets like sideways and he's kind of dry
Speaker 7: and he's keeping everything into the middle of the field.
Speaker 7: So you've seen him kind of play either tight or
Speaker 7: in a zone, and he adapts, he really really does,
Speaker 7: and he gets his head around. He can locate the
Speaker 7: ball his ball skills are out standing. That's a great
Speaker 7: name to bring up. He knows how to finish place
Speaker 7: because the way he puts himself in position. I mentioned
Speaker 7: the special teams value there. I could see him being
Speaker 7: a nickel and a starter. And because of his aggressiveness,
Speaker 7: his toughness.
Speaker 2: I love the way this kid competes his brothers already
Speaker 2: in the league as well too, bow melting.
Speaker 4: You might remember him from a no. I love it,
Speaker 4: I love it, I love it. I do have one
Speaker 4: question before we get out of here. A couple of
Speaker 4: corners that I think could have some safety flex at
Speaker 4: the next level. TJ Tampa out of Iowa State, Ronardo
Speaker 4: Green out of floor.
Speaker 3: I keep not nowhere to put Green. Don't want to
Speaker 3: move TJ. Tampa. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: He's going to say he was one of the guys
Speaker 6: that I wanted to mention.
Speaker 3: Green.
Speaker 4: Drena is a difficult one. I think that's trouble. That's
Speaker 4: the guy you bring in the building and you play
Speaker 4: him out at some different.
Speaker 3: Positions and see what he wants training camp.
Speaker 7: He's gonna have a busy I kind of have a
Speaker 7: problem stacking him with the other guys.
Speaker 6: With the other corners.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because because he's really I think he's really good,
Speaker 7: and but then some of the other guys think might
Speaker 7: be a little bit better.
Speaker 3: But then you read your notes and I'm like.
Speaker 7: His toughness, the thing that I saw about him that
Speaker 7: kind of scares me.
Speaker 3: I think he's a fifty to fifty guy on penalties.
Speaker 3: I think he's a.
Speaker 7: Grabby, clutchy, you know, kind of hang on to you guy,
Speaker 7: and he plays all over the place. He's competitive, he's
Speaker 7: a great he's not He's the type of player he's
Speaker 7: not afraid to play you tight, and he's going to
Speaker 7: compete for every ball.
Speaker 3: But man, I saw a grabby drape.
Speaker 7: Over the arm back across the receiver's back kind of
Speaker 7: a player.
Speaker 9: I think he's too fast for his own good sometimes,
Speaker 9: and I actually put I think he needs to play
Speaker 9: more under control at times. And I think I just
Speaker 9: think he's so fast that sometimes he's he's beating the
Speaker 9: receiver to the spot and things like that, and so
Speaker 9: you will see some of the grab he's too early.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna I'm gonna send you my board and you can
Speaker 3: put him where you think.
Speaker 6: But I do.
Speaker 9: We did get to see him at the Shrine Bowl,
Speaker 9: and I felt like he played pretty clean.
Speaker 3: Like he's so smart.
Speaker 10: I think he's looking for qes to where he can
Speaker 10: just jump on routes and sometimes he's just he's too
Speaker 10: early at it.
Speaker 9: And it's crazy too because he has pbu's but he
Speaker 9: doesn't take the ball away a lot. So I think
Speaker 9: that's also the other side of if you are, you better,
Speaker 9: you know, make a play on the ball. So I
Speaker 9: actually really like the player a whole bunch, especially because
Speaker 9: of what he's able to do with man and you're
Speaker 9: seeing him battle with neighbors.
Speaker 3: Was I'm gonna I'm gonna have him too low?
Speaker 6: That was done to see.
Speaker 3: But you're no, no, no, I love it. I mean
Speaker 3: you guys are I think you're right about the player.
Speaker 3: I really do.
