Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on
Speaker 1: your twenty four seventh home of the Black and Gold
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly. He
Speaker 1: is Matt Williamson and this is to drive on Steelers
Speaker 1: Nation Radio. And Matt, we're two weeks out from the
Speaker 1: draft here. I thought we'd do a little mock drafting.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use pro football focuses draft today. Okay, but
Speaker 1: let's go a little more public with let's go fully
Speaker 1: public with their board. Okay, I'll order it up a
Speaker 1: little bit now, Steelers likely we'll have one pick and
Speaker 1: we'll be on the clock. I'm gonna go middle of
Speaker 1: the road with care for positional value a little bit
Speaker 1: higher than that and drafting for needs. So that's about
Speaker 1: sixty percent and we're gonna get this thing started. I
Speaker 1: like it. There we go, Here we go. Trades are
Speaker 1: in play, right, age are in play. So the top
Speaker 1: sixteen picks, Bryce Young, c J. Stroub, Willie Anderson, Anthony Richardson,
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, Tyree Wilson, Paris Johnson, will Levis, Devin Witherspoon,
Speaker 1: Christian Gonzalez, Jackson Smith, and Jagba, Roderick Jones, Lucas Vannesse,
Speaker 1: Miles Murphy, Nolan Smith, Peter Scronski. I can't say I'm
Speaker 1: shocked by any of that. No, that sounds pretty chalky. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that leaves us. First of all, we have seven
Speaker 1: more interesting conversation. We have seven trade wow offers. But
Speaker 1: the highest trade offer that we've got is to go
Speaker 1: down to twenty nine. That's like the earliest would pick. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they're all a bunch of second rounders and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all teams thirty three, thirty eight, forty six, forty
Speaker 1: all teams that have already made picks. For the most part,
Speaker 1: we're not interested in doing that. I say, if you're
Speaker 1: interested in descrapping all those, I'm fine with it, especially
Speaker 1: because the last mock we did we didn't have a
Speaker 1: traded completely out of the first round. Yeah, but in
Speaker 1: the real world, I wouldn't hate going to twenty nine
Speaker 1: if you really made it worth my time. But twenty
Speaker 1: nine is the Saints. So for the Saints to move
Speaker 1: up from twenty nine to seventeen. Right now, the Saints
Speaker 1: have twenty nine, forty seventy one, one fifteen one, forty six,
Speaker 1: one sixty five, two, twenty seven and two fifty seven.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not even getting on the phone. I'm
Speaker 1: hanging the phone up if they're not talking about giving
Speaker 1: me twenty nine and forty and something else. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what I was thinking, is it's twenty nine forty and
Speaker 1: then like a fifth rounder where we don't have picks,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah at twenty nine you might get Brisset
Speaker 1: or Branch. I'm just gonna put it in there and
Speaker 1: see what this. So, according to this, if we asked
Speaker 1: for twenty nine and forty for seventeen, it has a
Speaker 1: forty three percent chance of being accepted. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take that as a no. So I'm not interested in
Speaker 1: I'm not moving back twelve pots and you know, you
Speaker 1: know if I put seventy one in there, well there's
Speaker 1: a one hundred percent chance it'll be you know, accepted. Well, no,
Speaker 1: that's no. Yeah, I'm not moving back to when I
Speaker 1: still have guys on I have guys on my board
Speaker 1: here that I like. So the player's villa. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to name some of the guys that we know.
Speaker 1: They're not taking Quinton Johnston, they're not taking Klijah Cancie.
Speaker 1: They're not taking Dalton kincaide, right. Deante Banks is there,
Speaker 1: Brian Branch is there, Joey Porter is there, Darnell Wright,
Speaker 1: Brian Brusset, Anton Harrison, Will McDonald, Bijean Robinson, Michael Mayer's
Speaker 1: a Flowers mayor. I just threw in there. I think
Speaker 1: he would actually fit what they do. But I just
Speaker 1: don't see them taking a tight end. Right. So to
Speaker 1: speak for you for a second, I think you and
Speaker 1: I both have Porter over Banks. Correct. So to me,
Speaker 1: it's three games we've talked about a ton per Se, Branch, Porter. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's the conversation. I mean, I could be convinced of
Speaker 1: any I think when in my top seventeen I have,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Porter's my highest of the group. How
Speaker 1: about this, Why don't we give the Chargers a call
Speaker 1: Jean's out there, Jean is out there, and see if
Speaker 1: they see if they would like to at least entertain
Speaker 1: moving up, pick up a third or something. In the pause,
Speaker 1: I don't mind moving back to twenty one with what's
Speaker 1: still available there. One of those names will still be there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So let's see if we go twenty one, we're not
Speaker 1: going to get fifty four from them because we're calling them.
Speaker 1: That's how this works. We're calling them and we're only
Speaker 1: moving back four spots. Can we get eighty five? They don't.
Speaker 1: They're saying no, they won't do twenty one for seventeen.
Speaker 1: They're not interested. So they're not interested in training to pick.
Speaker 1: We're drafting a player here, then, Okay, that's how it works. Sometime,
Speaker 1: as folks there, maybe you can't force a team to trade.
Speaker 1: Everybody says, well, just trade back, trade back. In the situation,
Speaker 1: let's recall Saints again. Yeah, it takes two, and I'm
Speaker 1: an interested. I really don't know. I don't want to
Speaker 1: go back to twenty nine without the forty pick, which
Speaker 1: would have been nice. Yeah, I say we take Porter,
Speaker 1: but I'm not against per Se or Branch. Okay, we'll
Speaker 1: take We'll take Do we then think about trading up
Speaker 1: with that pick thirty two for one of those two,
Speaker 1: especially Perse. I'm gonna slow this down a little bit here,
Speaker 1: just so we can see some of the pictures they
Speaker 1: come off. Okay, we'll take Porter because we really haven't
Speaker 1: done that all that much. No, I say, that's it's
Speaker 1: just it's just so Chalky. I just I can't bring
Speaker 1: myself to do it. I barely do it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: a lot of times he's not available. But we'll take Porter,
Speaker 1: all right. The next pick for the Lions is Darren
Speaker 1: Our Right, Hendon Hooker goes to Tampa Bay. The Seahawks
Speaker 1: takes a Flowers, The Chargers take Deante Banks, the Ravens
Speaker 1: take Quinton Johnston, the Vikings take Michael Mayer. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: twenty four. The Jaguars are on the clock. Bersee is
Speaker 1: still out there, Bersee and Branch, And you're saying Branch
Speaker 1: are out there. I don't know that we could go
Speaker 1: D back D back though. That's the thing. So if
Speaker 1: we if we're trading up, we're trading up to get Bersee. Yes,
Speaker 1: I agree, but what would what would the cost be? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm gonna I'm gonna just look at this.
Speaker 1: Thirty two and eighty would get it done. We actually
Speaker 1: could probably get them that should throw something else in.
Speaker 1: Could we go thirty two eighty and a seventh for
Speaker 1: this pick? In a fifth? How about this? So according
Speaker 1: to this, they'll accept there's a fifty seven percent chance
Speaker 1: that they'll do this twenty four and eighty eight for
Speaker 1: thirty two and eighty. Oh yeah, I mean if we
Speaker 1: could get them to accept if I'm gonna, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: offer it. We're not losing any picks. We're just moving
Speaker 1: back and you know, moving up in the first moving
Speaker 1: back in the in the in the third round. That's
Speaker 1: an easy one to make. They accepted it, all right,
Speaker 1: So okay, we didn't. That's the thing. If we don't
Speaker 1: lose any picks, I'm fine with it. You're still bringing
Speaker 1: the same number of rookies. Yeah, so if we can
Speaker 1: now get you want Brussee over Branch and we might
Speaker 1: get Yeah, I think so, because we have a D
Speaker 1: back in the hopper, right, Okay, so Brussee is de
Speaker 1: picked at twenty four. I'd feel really good about that.
Speaker 1: That's really nice thing to build. Branch was the next pick.
Speaker 1: Then to the Giants. By the way, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna speed this thing back up here so we can yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So now we get down to forty nine. But we
Speaker 1: got two high quality picks and we're back on the clock.
Speaker 1: We have four trade offers here. The top guys available
Speaker 1: Dwan Jones, Tanner, McKee, Dayon Henley, Josh Downs, Sam Laporta,
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Dell, Tyreek Stevenson, Steve of Vila, Luke Whippler, Luke Musgrave,
Speaker 1: Julius Brents, Joe Tipman, Matthew Bergeron Kean U, Benton Garrett, Williams,
Speaker 1: Nick Herbig, Trevius Hodges, Tomlinson, zach Scharbonet, Andre Carter, Isaiah
Speaker 1: Fosky Eka. I mean, there's there's some nice players there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wrote down five names, and I maybe even miss someone.
Speaker 1: You were kind of talking quick, so I wouldn't hesitate
Speaker 1: to move down to sixty even you know, high fifties.
Speaker 1: I just want to look at that the safeties real quick. Here,
Speaker 1: who's available at that safety Boss year. We've talked a
Speaker 1: lot about that in the last couple of days. I
Speaker 1: bet everybody but branch Or maybe Antonio Johnson. Who I'm
Speaker 1: Antonio Johnson, Anthony Johnson, Jordan Battle, Jamie Robinson, Sidney Brown,
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hickman, Jail Skinner, jayar Brown, Christopher Smith, Daniel Scott.
Speaker 1: I think they list the zelan Oi due to I
Speaker 1: think they list him as maybe as a corner let
Speaker 1: me see here, um Tyree Stevenson, Julius Brand, Scarrett Wilson, DG. Turner,
Speaker 1: Clark Phillips, Shalem Jones. Yeah, they list him. They lost
Speaker 1: Artavious Martin as a corner, which kind of tells you
Speaker 1: a lot about Artavious Martin, by the way, right, right right,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like branch. Yeah. I would certainly entertain
Speaker 1: trade down options here. Let's see who's on the phone.
Speaker 1: The Eagles are on the phone. Their next pick is
Speaker 1: sixty two. I can live with that. They got sixty two,
Speaker 1: sixty two, ninety four two nineteen two, forty eight. I
Speaker 1: think we could get a nice haul from them. Let
Speaker 1: go to sixty two. The Broncos are on the phone
Speaker 1: with sixty seven, the Rams at sixty nine, and the
Speaker 1: Patriots at seventy six. Let's chat with the Eagles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see, so sixty two for sure for forty nine,
Speaker 1: we got to get ninety four. If we're moving back,
Speaker 1: we're moving back thirteen spots. They would do that straight up.
Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent chance that would be accepted. Let's
Speaker 1: see if we if we throw in a seven and
Speaker 1: they throw in a five, we could get next year's fourth.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. There's an eighty one percent chance
Speaker 1: that'll be accepted. I think we do it. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a late fourth probably, but it's still that's all right,
Speaker 1: brown pick you know, yeah again, it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: fodder for next year. They accepted it, Okay, who'd they take?
Speaker 1: They the Eagles took Dwan Jones okay, Zoe. Yeah. We
Speaker 1: are up now at sixty two. Tanner McKee, Dayon, Henley
Speaker 1: Tulia below two, Sam Laporta, Nathaniel del Luke Whippler, Luke Musgrave,
Speaker 1: Julius Brince, Garrett Williams, Nick Herbig, Trevius Hodges, Tomlinson, Zach Charbonnet,
Speaker 1: Andre Carter, eka On, Antonio Johnson, Anthony Johnson, Chandlers of Allah.
Speaker 1: I got a guy here. I kind of like give
Speaker 1: based on what we've already taken, based on what we've
Speaker 1: already done, Okay, I kind of like Nick Kerbick there.
Speaker 1: Who see the names I had when we were on
Speaker 1: the clock before the trade were Dwan Jones, Bergeron. Apparently
Speaker 1: both those dudes are done. Those guys are gone. Downs.
Speaker 1: I think he's gone. He's gone, you know, my tight
Speaker 1: end love affair. Laporta and Musgrave are interesting to me.
Speaker 1: I also don't think it's too early to take Martin,
Speaker 1: who is kind of the branch vic. I would take
Speaker 1: Martin over her big Martin. Why am I? Why am
Speaker 1: I blanking Martin? The Illinois safety corner we were talking about,
Speaker 1: they haven't listened as a corner. They haven't listed as
Speaker 1: a corner. Yeah, Um, I just think you're killing We
Speaker 1: got another We got sixty two and eighty eight here
Speaker 1: coming up, six ninety four. I think that safety slash
Speaker 1: corner market I met. Those guys haven't even been touched. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think a tight end of I bet Laporta
Speaker 1: or Musgrave will be there. Whereas if I start looking
Speaker 1: at the edge slash linebackers, you know, her Big is there.
Speaker 1: Andre Carter doesn't answer to me. Isaiah McGuire is there,
Speaker 1: Carl Brooks, Derrick Hall, kJ, Henry Byron Young, Vajoko Kolby Wooden,
Speaker 1: I mean, some of those guys. But I think Herbert
Speaker 1: can play both spots. I do too. I'm actually more
Speaker 1: confident that he can than Nolan Smith and some of
Speaker 1: the other others we've talked about. So I think he
Speaker 1: I think he fills two needs. I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1: Let's take him. Yeah, plus his brothers on the team
Speaker 1: making room together. I'll bet you at eighty eight, we're
Speaker 1: gonna like one of these slots and we are back.
Speaker 1: We're back up here. Um, we should take Martin. Would
Speaker 1: be hard for me to pass on here. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: feeling that too. Let's let's see if he's still there.
Speaker 1: I forgot they list him under cornerbacks. Uh, he is
Speaker 1: still there. I mean that'd be four defensive picks in
Speaker 1: a row. Well, that's all right. I love the type.
Speaker 1: Various Rush is there too, By the way, Cody Corey
Speaker 1: Trice is there. I mean that's just the thing about
Speaker 1: this defense. This uh defensive either No, I don't think so. Either.
Speaker 1: Eli Rix is there, Riley Moss is there, Cayou Blue,
Speaker 1: Kelly Jakoreyan Bennett. I mean, there's a bunch of guys
Speaker 1: there that I like. But I just I think Jotavious Martin,
Speaker 1: complete your defense, I mean, complete your defense. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: won't fight you on it. I brought his name up
Speaker 1: time and time again here the last couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: But I'm just curious who the white outs are. Is
Speaker 1: there a mingo? I think I heard Tillman's name's gone,
Speaker 1: so the why that's still available. Nathaniel Dell, Michael Wilson,
Speaker 1: At Perry, Tyler, Scott, Jaden Reid, Trey Palmer, Parker Washington,
Speaker 1: Jayleen Marino, Cropper, Bryce Ford, Wheaton, Xavier Hutchinson, Charlie Jones.
Speaker 1: I mean, these are guys that, oh yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 1: It's not blowing my doors off. We got eighty eight,
Speaker 1: ninety four, one twenty coming up here. The three names
Speaker 1: I wrote down a receiver were Scott, Reid, and Wilson.
Speaker 1: I bet one of them there at eighty eight, though,
Speaker 1: I have Martin way ahead of those guys. St. Martin, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got him way ahead of those guys me too.
Speaker 1: All right, Jartavious Martin is the pick at eighty eight.
Speaker 1: We're back up at ninety four. Now we can go
Speaker 1: look at that receiver position. Nathaniel Del Nathaniel Del, Michael Wilson, Tyler, Scott,
Speaker 1: Jayden Reid for the three m thought, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: if there's a scoopmaker or a Laporta, I would be
Speaker 1: interested a tackle prospect. I think this has to be offense, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it has You're right, You're right. The rest of the
Speaker 1: draft might be offense at tackle. It's Nick Salvadari's there. Oh,
Speaker 1: Salda Varry, Yeah, Carter Warren at a pit I like him.
Speaker 1: To Gordon McFadden out of Clemson. I seem Richards is
Speaker 1: still there. I think he Salvadari, he's hard to pass up. Okay,
Speaker 1: can take him. Yeah, we got another pick coming up
Speaker 1: one twenty. We hopefully can get a wide receiver there,
Speaker 1: and I think we will look at somebody, maybe not
Speaker 1: the three we like the best there, but there'll be
Speaker 1: somebody that's, you know, pretty good. Yeah, Okay, so we're
Speaker 1: back up here. How about this. Nathaniel Dell is still available.
Speaker 1: I never want him, but it's late and he's the
Speaker 1: only thing is he's tiny, and we already got Austin
Speaker 1: brace Ford. Wheaton is still there. You said he was
Speaker 1: a visit guy, right, he's a guy that they brought
Speaker 1: him for a visit. Big body receiver Tyler Scott is
Speaker 1: still available. I like Tyler Scott. I mean he's not
Speaker 1: huge either, but five ten, one seventy seven he's bigger
Speaker 1: than Nathaniel Dell. Yeah. I mean, Dell is a tiny,
Speaker 1: tiny person, but he's Yeah, he's really little five eight
Speaker 1: one sixty five. I mean that's basically that's Calvin. That's
Speaker 1: who Calvin Austin is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like Tyler Scott.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean I'm looking at the beast right now.
Speaker 1: He is the seventh rank receiver on that list with
Speaker 1: a second round grade. Tyler Scott, Yeah, ran a four
Speaker 1: three seven. He's a bigger He's a bigger version of
Speaker 1: Calvin Austin. Right, yeah, I mean they, I mean, he
Speaker 1: hasn't ranked ahead of Tillman and Mems and you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, mingo this team, this team needs explosive plays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's twenty one. He's a former running back too,
Speaker 1: so you know, I think there's some toughness. Right, Let's
Speaker 1: let's take Tyler Scott. Yes, I'd be thrilled to taking
Speaker 1: this late. Okay, Styler Scott of this and that leaves
Speaker 1: us or we got one pick left at two thirty four. Quarterback, Yeah, probably,
Speaker 1: I don't. I always think about running backs here too,
Speaker 1: just because it's so deep. There'll be a fifth round
Speaker 1: running back available. I could sign one of those though.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, quarterbacks, I'd have to sign two true and
Speaker 1: that might be too that might be more difficult, especially
Speaker 1: with It's that's the thing when when they took the
Speaker 1: quarterback last year in the seventh round. If you were
Speaker 1: if you were a rookie undrafted quarterback, the team signed
Speaker 1: a quarterback in free agency on the first day of
Speaker 1: free agency and drafted one in the first round, are
Speaker 1: you signing with that team? I'd rather sign with the
Speaker 1: Bills or Chiefs. Yeah, you're not going to get a
Speaker 1: chance there. No, No, I remember when we talked to
Speaker 1: us a few times. I think the Steelers were the
Speaker 1: least attractive landing spot for an undrafted free agent in
Speaker 1: the whole league. Yeah, without a doubt. Interesting names available
Speaker 1: to quarterback position. Good Dorian Thompson, Robinson, Oh, I wouldn't hesitate,
Speaker 1: that'd be great. Clayton Tune, Oh, I'm fine with that,
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett, Okay, which one of those? Those are the three? Though,
Speaker 1: Jake Karner Hanter from Frozeno States also available there, so
Speaker 1: I'd consider him. I'd consider Badgint Badging is still available.
Speaker 1: Max Dugan is still availed. Those are those are basically
Speaker 1: your six quarterbacks, six draftable quarterbacks that they have listed here.
Speaker 1: I don't have a preference I think if any of
Speaker 1: them hit as a not a future Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: or the next Party or Brady or whatever. But I
Speaker 1: do think Dorrian Thompson Robinson has a little more upside
Speaker 1: than some of those other guys. But Tune was in
Speaker 1: for a visit. Tune was in for a visit. Tune
Speaker 1: is the one who's most like Kenny Pickett. Okay, in
Speaker 1: terms of his size. He's a little more mobile than
Speaker 1: I think people thought he was. He ran a four
Speaker 1: six four. Yeah, I mean he's the most guy. He's
Speaker 1: the guy who Dorrian Thompson Robinson is I think, you know,
Speaker 1: more athletic than Clayton Tune. But he's also smaller, neither smaller,
Speaker 1: whereas Tune's more of a pocket passer who can run.
Speaker 1: Like if it's evens, they take Thompson Robinson, right, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But if I'm looking for a
Speaker 1: guy who's who's my future, you know, a backup for
Speaker 1: the next four seasons, it's Kenny Pickett. I think Tune
Speaker 1: is that guy. The fact that he was in for
Speaker 1: a visit to is a huge tiebreaker in his favor
Speaker 1: to me, Yeah, let's take him. That'll be an a
Speaker 1: at this point yet quarterback that lad. I'll bet I
Speaker 1: bet we did really well in this draft. By the way,
Speaker 1: this is one of my favorites we've done. I bet
Speaker 1: we scored really well. We were aggressive, we made a
Speaker 1: couple of moves. We traded up, we traded down. Defense
Speaker 1: is thrilled. We got defense. We got offense. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean four picks. The first four picks were defense. So
Speaker 1: we get an A for Joey Porter. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: pretty easy one, a B for Brian Berse. Nice. We
Speaker 1: didn't give up much to do that either. How about
Speaker 1: did we get a C plus for our trade up
Speaker 1: where all we gave up was moving back eight spots
Speaker 1: in round three? How is that a C plus? I
Speaker 1: almost felt bad about doing it. Yeah, I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: so unrealistic. I can't imagine it happens. We get a
Speaker 1: C plus for that. It's like convincing your little sister
Speaker 1: to make a trade. Uh. We get a D plus
Speaker 1: for Nick Herbig it's sixty two. Yeah, I mean they
Speaker 1: must be low on them. They get him at number
Speaker 1: fifty eight on their big board and we got him
Speaker 1: at sixty two. Yeah. I don't get that. I don't
Speaker 1: get that. At all our other trade where we traded
Speaker 1: back where we got sixty two ninety four in next
Speaker 1: year's fourth round pick from the Eagles forty nine and
Speaker 1: two forty one got a B. I forgot about the
Speaker 1: fourth Yeah, George Avous Martin was a B plus. That's
Speaker 1: a great pick there. I love it. Yeah, Nick sel
Speaker 1: the Very was a D. Wow. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: I have him had right. I don't think Salvadari gets
Speaker 1: out of the day two. Uh. Tyler Scott was a
Speaker 1: C in round four, and then Clayton Tune in round
Speaker 1: seven was an A plus as Yeah, I would take
Speaker 1: this draft right now. We gotta be plus overall, so
Speaker 1: I'll take I mean, i'll take that great, I'll take
Speaker 1: the players. Yeah, you know, you really infused your defense
Speaker 1: hopefully for years to come, without conceding much on offense.
Speaker 1: And you have a fourth round pick in the future years.
Speaker 1: I mean, you come out of this. We got an
Speaker 1: outside cornerback of the future in Porter Junior. We got
Speaker 1: a potential Cam Hayward replacement in Brussee right who we
Speaker 1: are considering it with the Porter pick. Right. We got
Speaker 1: Nick herbig In at the end of round two, who
Speaker 1: kills two birds with one stone. Maybe he's our starting
Speaker 1: inside backer next year, but in the meantime, he's gonna
Speaker 1: rush the passer for me sometimes on the passing downs.
Speaker 1: This year he beat and I could come up. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be great on special teams and I could probably
Speaker 1: come up with a package where I put him on
Speaker 1: the field with what and so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, right now we got our we got
Speaker 1: our nickel corner slash maybe future starting safety and Jartavious Martin,
Speaker 1: who's a lot like Kazy and Minka in terms of
Speaker 1: the way he plays and what he does. A developmental
Speaker 1: tackle at ninety four in SALDAVERI h hopefully you don't
Speaker 1: see him all year. But you know, Tyler Scott and
Speaker 1: then Clayton Tune. Yeah what, I just don't think about
Speaker 1: that draft. I think Scott's a steal that late. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: just see for that guy, right, I mean, you wish
Speaker 1: he was bigger, but that's who and that's why you
Speaker 1: got him. Okay, I'll go sign a bigger receiver you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not like and he'll fit the offense. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll run. I'll run him on sweeps and things of
Speaker 1: that nature and okay, yeah, oh yeah, I mean him
Speaker 1: and Austin are gonna be similar, but they're both unbelievably fast.
Speaker 1: I just don't know if he can count on Austin
Speaker 1: at this point. Count on's a bigger word, right, right,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't want to come out
Speaker 1: of this draft without any receiving help, right. And I
Speaker 1: think it's telling. It's on a knock on Austin, But
Speaker 1: I think it's telling that they signed Miller as quickly
Speaker 1: as they did, right. You want to have something a
Speaker 1: veteran fallback option. Yeah, yeah, you can't just assume Austin's
Speaker 1: a spiral of a sudden. Yeah. So I'm very happy
Speaker 1: with that draft. But you know, I'm I'm high on
Speaker 1: Jartavious Martin. I'm I'm pretty high on Nick herbig Um
Speaker 1: a little more than I do. I think what I
Speaker 1: think he can be. I think it's you know, if
Speaker 1: he's if he's Chad Brown. Oh that's a home run.
Speaker 1: Dad Brown is a really good player. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he could beat Chad Brown. Okay, a guy that could
Speaker 1: play inside. If we got to kick him outside, he
Speaker 1: goes out and gets ten sacks. I don't like him
Speaker 1: that much. I think I understand that. I understand, but
Speaker 1: I think he can play inside and I think he
Speaker 1: could be your your number three edge guy. I think
Speaker 1: in terms of usage, you could be Chad Brown. If
Speaker 1: he's as talented and as good as Chad Brown. Wow,
Speaker 1: but I hear what you're saying. I mean he would
Speaker 1: play for you immediately and do a lot of different stuff. Yeah, good, Yeah,
