WEBVTT - Jets 7-Round Mock Draft with Leger Douzable (4/23) 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.639 Welcome into the Official Jets podcast, Eric Allen joined by 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:10.280 Leja Duza Bawl. 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.160 Draft Week is here. Dudes, it's upon us. 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:16.520 Can you believe it? Ea? I mean I feel like 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.599 the season ended maybe a month ago, right, I feel like, 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.520 you know, the Super Bowl in Vegas was right like 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.520 literally yesterday, and now here we are, look at us 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:29.040 already ready for the new era of players to come 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.839 into the brotherhood of the NFL. Man Tom Flies, Tom Flies. 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:34.960 Hea, time certainly does fly. 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:39.919 And this is our last pre draft podcast with dues, 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.919 and we're putting you on the clock for the New 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.959 York Jets. The Jets have seven overall selections dues, starting. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.519 With number ten overall. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:54.160 Before we get to those picks, how did you go 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:59.440 about targeting players for the Jets needs this spring? 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.360 Yeah, so I went back and forth, and I actually 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.600 do this exercise where I think and I run down 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:09.559 like what teams or who they could potentially pick before 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.200 the Jets actually picked. So it was like a real exercise. 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.640 So when you look at this draft, it's based on 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.600 you know, going through each round seeing what player may 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.640 or may not be there most more specimply, in first round, right, 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.720 I looked at the first nine picks, and did you 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.560 know some evaluation of what teams could potentially trade up 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.760 for the quarterbacks at the top of the draft, what 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.479 teams need, have certain needs at certain positions. And that's 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.360 how I was able to make my pick at number 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.679 ten and then even going down to the third round, right, 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.720 just going through the draft seeing what player could possibly 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.000 be there. So that's that's how, like I said, it's 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.600 I was. I would want to say it was tedious 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.520 because I love going through this exercise because this is probably, 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.720 ea what my tenth mock draft, right, so it gets 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.680 fun every time when you just, you know, decipher who 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.760 could potentially be there, what team has a need, and 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.200 how they tried to fill it as to posed as 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.520 opposed to what the Jets are going to need at 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:05.280 that certain pick. 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.440 All right, we control the cards, so we could do 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.240 this different than what's going to happen on draft weekend. Correct, Hey, 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.560 goal in order do you want to lead up to 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.160 number ten? Should we start backwards, should we start all 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.600 the way from mister irrelevant? Or you want to do 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:22.760 this traditional style? 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.519 Let's do a traditional style. 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:30.840 Okay, fine, here we go number ten overall? Who did 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.320 he consider here before you put in the card. 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.680 Well, eh, I don't believe it's a secret anymore. Uh 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:42.040 my affinity from Roma Dune day. Yeah, but in this 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.640 mock he was already gone. So unfortunately he was not 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.079 there at the number ten pick for the Jets. So 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.400 I went back and back and forth to see best 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.399 player available, best fit, right, and that's how I came 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.480 up with who I picked at the number ten spot. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.440 All right, So who was on the board. Who were 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:06.000 some names that Jets fans like? Who was on the board? Yep, 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:11.520 before you picked this a certain peck twelve alone. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:17.040 Yeah, brock Bauers was still on the board. JC Latham 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.440 was still on the board, and Talie Uagga was still 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:21.160 on the board. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:27.920 Okay, Lege Dousable, you are now on the number ten 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:29.320 overall selection. 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.120 We're out in the war room. We're all discussing what 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.400 we should do. Who's you know on our board at 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.960 this number ten spot. And when it came down to it, 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.680 I went with Troy Fataneu, the offensive tackle from Washington. 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.680 When you look at how he would fit in the 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:46.040 Jets plan, right, this is a guy that has positioned 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.160 flexibility and versatility. He could start at guard or at tackle, 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.880 but I think he's athletic enough he could really started tackling. Yes, 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.760 I know the Jets brought in Tyrone Smith, they traded 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.120 for Morgan Moses, but both of those guys are in 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.160 their mid thirty and we've seen the issues that Jesse 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.360 had at the tackle position staying healthy. So why not 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.240 have a guy with the versatility to essentially almost start 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.800 every spot on the offensive line if somebody were to 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.200 go down, Because you got to think in this day 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:17.520 and age, in the NFL seventeen games, ya, somebody most 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.640 likely is gonna get inged up, right, somebody's gonna have 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.560 to come in and spot start. And what better player 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.520 than Troy Fontanau, A guy like I said, the athletic 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.360 ability to stay at tackle, but I believe can play 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.880 guard at a high level as well. Kind of reminds 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.560 me of AVT when he came out right and he's 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.279 a guy that's been able to, you know, go from 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.200 tackle to guard back to tackle. Hopefully this year he 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.760 can solidify himself at guard and just stay at guard. 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.559 I think Troy fontanu to beef up that offensive line 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.320 makes the most sense at pick number ten. 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.559 Interesting, dude, he played defensive line in high school. Number 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:55.000 two overall recruit out of the state of Nevada, played 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:59.160 in Nevada high school ball, so he knows Roman Dunda 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.960 from way back when got his degree in real estate. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.080 Started every game each of the past two seasons. Okay, 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.320 I like this kid as a prospect. You've been saying 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.160 for weeks, you've been standing on the table, well probably months, Yet, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.559 gotta go receiver here because there's more of a need. 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.400 Why ultimately you said the top three receivers were off. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.960 Okay, why no Bowers? 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.880 Well, when you look at positional value, We've had this discussion, Ea, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.680 brock Bowers, I think is a hell of a player. 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.000 I don't want people coming after me and my DMS 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.839 and everything thinking I have something against brock Bowers. That's 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.160 simply not true. I think it's a hell of a player. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.840 But for people that are saying, you can't just treat 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.400 him like a tight end, they said the same thing 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.280 about Kyle Pitts in Atlanta, and that still hasn't worked 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.560 out to this day. They were literally comparing pitch to 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:55.520 a unicorn, Ea, because that's essentially what he was. He 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.440 was a freak athlete, just like Brock Bowers explosive in 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.159 the open field, just like Brock. But if you don't 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.960 have a set plan for a guy with that type 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.960 of skill set, it isn't worthy of a top ten pick, 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.560 and it usually doesn't work out. I know, I was 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.680 on Twitter the other day or exit whatever you want 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.080 to call it, EA, and I was saying Dalton Kinka, like, 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.160 you know, he's kind of comparable to Brock Powers, and 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:19.840 people kind of got after me and I would say, 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.840 I said, I think Bowers is a better athlete, right, 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.960 and he probably blocks a little bit better. But I 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.400 will say it this year, Dalton Kinkad in Buffalo, I 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.599 saw some dog in him blocking I didn't see at Utah. 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.599 So a lot of it has to come with coaching or 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.400 what they ask him to do at Utah. So if 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.560 Brock Bowers has a season like Dalton Kinkaid had, it's 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.280 a good season. But it's not a good season if 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.560 you're a top ten pick, right, because you got to 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.560 think about it. Garry Wilson was a top ten pick 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.839 and went over a thousand yards his rookie year. Dalton 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.920 k Kin I believe, had seventy three catches for right 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.640 under seven hundred yards, which is a quality year for 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.640 a tight end. But if you're going in the top ten, 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.640 people are gonna say that's a bad year for him. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.360 So like, why would you put that kid in that predicament? 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.440 To me, yes, I know Rock Bowers is a weapon 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.840 x if you would like to say that, but he's 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.280 still a traditional tight end. He can line up at 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.200 the traditional tight end spot, you can line him up 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.040 in the backfield, you can split him out, but most 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.080 tight ends in the NFL are doing that today anyway. 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:20.200 Ea, So why Big Troy over Fuaga and also overlay them? 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:24.200 I just think the position flexibility. Now, Fuaga can play 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.840 guard as well, but I think he's more pencil than 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.960 as a right tackle in a guard where try Fontonu 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.640 could play right tackle, left tackle, left guard, right guard, 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.960 and I dare say he may be even able to 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.720 play center as well. So I just thought, with the 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.240 position flexibility, and even though the Jets have a starting 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.920 five offensive line, why not get a guy that you 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.480 know is versatile enough to play every spot on the 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.320 offensive line if somebody were to get dinged up and 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.600 not just play play at a high level as well 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.480 at those positions. So it was tough hea. I went 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.760 back and forth between him and Wagga because Olu Fashnu 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.320 and Joe Walt were already off the board, right, So 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.800 like I went back and forth between those two. I 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.760 just thought, as far as position flexibility, Troy fonton new 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:08.720 made a lot more sense. 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:09.600 Okay. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.680 I don't want to put the cart before the horse, 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.120 but you play your best five. You talked about the 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:19.480 Jets editions in the offseason. If you take font number 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:25.040 ten overall, will he ultimately be a day one starter 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.040 for you when you're opening the season up in twenty 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:28.560 twenty four? 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.240 And that's the question mark EA, And I think Joe 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.240 Douglas did a masterful job and the contracts that he 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.560 did with trading for Morgan Moses who doesn't have a 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.959 hot cat number. Same thing with Tyron Smith. So if 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.480 Troy Fontonu comes in and he's ready, he's the starter, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.120 and Morgan Moses or dare I say, even Tyron Smith 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.240 would be your swing guy. And the crazy thing is 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.200 they're technically getting swing tackle type money anyway, right EA, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.719 when you look at and break down their contracts for 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.679 this last year. So to me, if Troy fontan neuw 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.120 comes in and proves that he's one of the best 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.920 starting fives. You start him like that's what it is. 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.640 And now let's not forget Morgan Moses in twenty one 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.880 when he came to the Jets, he was essentially supposed 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.040 to be the swing guy. Hea people forget that mkyy 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.839 Begthon got hurt in the first half Onirst Carolina and 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.400 that's why Morgan Moses went on to start for the 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.040 rest of the season, right because George Fent was dealing 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.880 with some injuries as well, but mky Becthon going down 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.600 solidified Morgan Moses in the starting lineup and he just 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.199 never looked back. So Morgan Moses is used to being 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.600 in this predicament, so I think this would be something that, 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.400 of course, as a player, you want to be out 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.720 there and start. But if they asked him, you know, Morgan, 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.640 we need you to be the swing guy. And there's 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.800 probably a high percentage chance you're gonna play this year 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.040 because we just know how the NFL works and guys 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.720 get dinged up. I think Morgan Moses would would be 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:43.120 up for that. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:48.520 Troy front Knew goes number ten overall to the Jets. Okay, dudes, 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.240 you are on the board. You had to wait out 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.240 round two. But it is Friday night, it is round three, 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.720 it is selection time. Picked number seventy two for the 0:09:58.760 --> 0:09:59.560 New York Jets. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:05.800 Drum roll silky smooth Ricky Piersow, wide receiver from Florida. 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:10.000 I love this kid's game. A smooth route runner, does 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.760 a good job temple in his routes. And when I 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.480 say tempo, he gives you different cadences. That way, you 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.840 essentially don't know what route he's going to run. People 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.000 talked about his speed and worried about his speed he run. 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.000 He ran a sub four to five. I think I 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.440 low four four one if I'm not mistaken. And you 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.040 see it on film, right, he took an end a 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.880 round versus Miszoo thirty plus yards and ea, if you 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.959 look at that Missouri defense, it's gonna be like five 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.679 or six gut selected in this draft. So that's a 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.600 top notch defense, and he outran all of them to 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.720 the end zone. So, Ricky Piersaw, we know that there 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.280 needs to be a receiver taking in this draft to 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.760 pair with Garrett Wilson. Yes, we know. Mike Williams was 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.080 a big sign against free agency. But he's coming off 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.720 a major knee injury, right, so it'll give you the flexibility. 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.040 Even though Piersoll is a slot receiver, it'll give you 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.880 the flexibility to move Garrett Wilson from the outside to 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.480 the inside. Piersaw can play on the outside, but he 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.719 does a lot of his damage in the slot. So 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.400 in the third round, I think it makes a lot 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.040 of sense, especially if you go O Line in the 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.040 first to rectify you know, the receiver room by getting 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.160 a guy who a lot of people see could be 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.880 a second round pick. But if he slides to the third, 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.760 I think you run that card in, especially if you 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.360 go O Line in the first round. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.160 Okay, why is he there in round three? You mentioned 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.280 it before? Is it because the size and speed concerns? 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.480 And with that being said, I really like this kid's 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:30.280 production last year at Florida. You're talking about sixty five catches, 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.400 nine hundred and sixty five yards. He had the four 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.880 touchdowns last season, one hundred and fifty career receptions. A 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.200 transfer from Arizona. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.320 State, Arizona some players, you know what. 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:43.960 He was part of the recruiting class that included jayde 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:49.040 Day to go number two overall in this draft, do 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.160 you think to talk about some of the concerns maybe 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:54.680 and why are you sitting there in round three? 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.719 But I just think, yeah, slaughtered him as a slot guy, 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.000 So slot guys usually go down lower in the draft. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.280 And then we talked about this being one of the 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.760 deepest receiving classes, which means other positions will get pushed 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.199 up in the draft, and you could see some receivers 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.480 that are second round receivers drop into the third and 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.240 third round receivers drop into the fourth because teams feel 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.679 like I can still get a quality receiver later on 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.199 in the draft, let me go attack a need that 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.520 I have and another position group that isn't as strong. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:23.240 So that's a lot of times what you see in 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.520 these drafts, with you know, the offensive line being so 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.719 deep and the receivers being so deep. A lot of 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.080 those guys, like even a guy like Jordan Mrgan, who 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:31.640 I have slated to go at the end of the 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.400 first round, he may slide into the second just because 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.360 this is a deep offensive line class and teams that 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.280 have needs in other positions. If there's a premium player there, 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.880 you're gonna make an emphasis on trying to go get 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.640 that player because that position group is not as strong 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.120 and it may be harder for you to answer that 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.120 void later on in the draft. So I think this 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.800 is just, you know, a component of Ricky Pierso being 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.640 in a really deep receiver class. Again, he could go 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.679 at the end of the second round, but I got 0:12:58.760 --> 0:12:59.840 him here at the top of the third. 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.640 Hey, dudes, what do you think about him being on 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.040 the all nickname team slick Rick? 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.880 You like that? I like slick Fricky Fears probably have 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.280 the best catching college football all last year for Charlotte, 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.200 going up against his body, one hand snacking the ball 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.480 out of the year. So he has really good hands. Again, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.320 a really good route runner, temples his routes really well 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.520 to be able to shake free thee. There is one 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.720 concern and press man. Sometimes he struggles to get off press, 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.800 so that could be another reason why he may slip 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:28.600 a little bit lower. 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.720 Okay. I like that selection myself. 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.719 I am a former Gator, so bringing in bringing in 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.280 here Florida alump. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:37.840 Okay. 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:42.760 So the Jets have a pair of seasoned veteran quarterbacks 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.439 at the top of their depth chart in Aaron Rodgers 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.720 Tyrod Taller. But hey, did you like what you heard 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.560 up from Joe Douglas the other day. He said he 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.560 wants to build a quarterback factory here. I started thinking 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.200 to myself, Hey, Jets, they're gonna be adding a quarterback 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.840 here on day three and for you, no surprise, you 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.680 go signal caller here round four. 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.760 Yeah, without a doubt, I think every team every year 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.360 should take a look at a quarterback right just because, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.000 for one, if you're able to develop that guy, he's 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.720 a trade chip later on until you just never know 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:18.200 what's gonna happen with your starting quarterback. So I took 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:19.840 a flyer here in the fourth round and one of 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.600 my favorite prospects in the draft, Michael Pratt, the quarterback 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.760 from Tulane. I mean to me, throws with the most 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.720 touched in this draft class. Now, he doesn't have the 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.400 biggest arm ea right, and sometimes struggles with them, throws 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.200 deep down the field outside the numbers. But you talk 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.920 about a leader, three time captain right knows how to win. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.240 People tend to forget. Last year against USC and the 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.400 Cotton Bowl, he put on a display verse them and 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.280 put up over fifty points against USC. Now, again, that's 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.360 not a really good defense. So I'm a purposely by 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.600 saying that, but nobody gave Tulane a chance in that game. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.880 He's an ultimate leader, a heck of a competitor. EA. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.400 They put this guy in the run game, right, so 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.080 don't talk about his athletic ability. He used him in 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.640 the run game, and you see the toughness and grittiness 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.360 when he runs with the football. He's a guy that 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.400 people just rally around. I think he's a perfect fit 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.120 to come in sit behind Tyrod Taylor and Aaron Rodgers 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.840 for two years with the opportunity maybe in two years 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:17.920 to take over as a starting quarterback for the New 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:18.520 York Jets. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.480 So let's stay right there, dudes. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.960 Takes Michael Pratt out of Tulane with the first of 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.200 two fourth round selections for the Jets. That's number one 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:34.560 eleven overall. You actually do see starting potential in this guy. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.000 Even though Pratt he sees the field really well. People 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:43.640 say it's calming in the pocket, very poised. He and also, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.520 like you mentioned, the toughness factor, not afraid to run it, 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:54.360 very smart, cerebral. With his athletic maybe limitations, you still 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.520 see a potential NFL starter here. 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.360 I do, and I've always been higher on micropracting people. 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.600 I mean, starting this process, I had him as a 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.120 late second round pick, and then I moved him into 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:06.840 the third, so I would not be surprised if a 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.560 team even tried to get him in the third round. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.320 You know, a lot of people will say on Day 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.240 two it's probably going to be maybe Bo Nicks, Spencer Ratler, 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:15.880 and I think Pratt was that third guy that could 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.560 potentially slide into the third and if not, he's most 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.080 likely going to be the first quarterback taken in the 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:22.640 fourth round. And good for to just to have a 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.400 pretty high fourth round pick if he's able to be there, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.240 I think it just makes sense as a developmental guy 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.040 for a year or two, most likely two years, sit 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.520 behind Rogers, sit behind Tyrod Taylor, and I think he 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.000 has starting potential. I talked about it again, the way 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.120 he's able to elevate his team at Tulane back to 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.280 back years going to the American Conference Championship Game, and 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.480 if you look at what he did this year without 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.400 having his number one receiver, Jawan Jackson's probably going to 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.240 be a third round receiver for most of the year. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.720 He still led them to the American Conference championship this year. 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.680 Yeah, so it's not fair of me to say, hey, 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:58.880 this guy's that athletic. 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.760 He's completely athletic. 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.760 I'm just saying, hey, maybe doesn't have the arm strength 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.200 of a Josh Allen an Aaron Aaron Rodgers, but. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.480 At the same time, who does. Yeah, this guy brings 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:10.440 a lot to the table. 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:14.160 He's a multi sport star in high school, a four 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.200 point zero GPA guy. You mentioned the leadership in tangible, 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.720 so he definitely is going to be a name to watch. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.160 On Day three of the draft, the Jets have two 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:27.360 fourth round selections, so with pick number one, thirty four overall, 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:28.000 where are you going? 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.080 I went at the defensive tackle position because if you 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.160 look at how that room is constructed right now, besides 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.400 Quinn Williams, everybody else is on a one year deal, 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.760 writ Zavon Kilow one year deal. Solomon Thomas Folks too, 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.600 one year deal. I went with Makay Wingo, who fits 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.320 perfectly in the system as an attacking defensive tackle three 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.280 technique that can help you with interior pass rush. And 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.080 people will say it's a little undersized, but if you 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.480 turn on the film, he stays up in there. Ea 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.440 at the point of attack against double teams. Because he 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.000 is undersized, he has great lets beverage. He can get 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.159 up under blockers. But talk about first step quickness. That 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.720 is what Robert Sala likes with his defensive lineman. He 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.879 wants them to have that first step quickness to be 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.800 able to create havoc in the backfield. We know that 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.240 this defense is run by the defensive line. Like the 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.879 defensive line helps with everything else at linebacker and in 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.960 the secondary, so you can never have enough of those 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.159 guys in rotation. And again, I would like for the 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:27.199 just to finally draft somebody that can grow with Quinn Williams, 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.119 that can learn from him and eventually maybe even become 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.119 a starter next to him. I think this is a 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.240 sweet spot right here in the fourth round to take 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:35.200 a defensive tackle. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.760 He started his collegiate career at Missouri, finished up at 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.760 LSU most of the time with the Bayou Bangles. He's 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.040 playing three tech. Is that where you think he's gonna 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:48.800 play on the next level as well? 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.800 Well? I think about the LSU defense, it's a hybrid defense. 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.640 They do a mixture of four to three three four, 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.040 And you see him sometimes as a head up nose, 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.479 So I think he can play the one technique as well, 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.520 especially in this system. It's a more attacking system with 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.879 the Jets. It's not like he'll be in there, you know, 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.320 taking on six or seven hundred pounds like if he's 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.280 doing that, the linebacker's got to go and that's how 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.639 this defense is bred. So I believe he can stay 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.119 at the one technique or the three technique. And with 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.960 Robert Sola's defense, both of the d tackles are interchangeable. 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:18.640
