1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome to move the sticks DJ Bucky 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: back together. As we marched towards the conference championship games 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: this weekend, we will have plenty of time to dig 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: into those on the next episode. Today, though, Buck, we 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: are talking your mock draft, your your first of this 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: draft season. Uh, First of all, before we dig into it, 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: all positive, I assume right, all positive vibes and mentions 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: on social media for you after this thing, it was 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: it was fairly positive because I didn't check my mention, 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: so I don't know what has been said about the 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: mock draft. Mock drafts are what we hear, what we 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: project based on what we know about the history of 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: the team or the person that picks the players and 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: how they may stylistically fit. So it's the difference. So 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: before you at me about why do you like this 17 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: player more than that? This is me. But no, my 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: GM had for thirty two different teams and saying here's 19 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: what I think they will do based on either what 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: I hear what I know to be true about the team. Yeah, 21 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: we've both been trying to explain this for a decade plus. 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: It's not gonna matter. We're still gonna get it. You're 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: still gonna think people believing that you like this player 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: over that player, and you're gonna get grief. So you 25 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 1: can put all the slammers out there that you want, 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: it ain't gonna help. Uh, let's jump into this thing here. 27 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: Why don't you rip off what you have here from 28 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: one to ten, the names and the teams, and we'll 29 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: find a couple of discussion points here within your top 30 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: ten fire away buck Okay, Chicago Bears, the number one 31 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: pick goes to Will Anderson. Houston Texas take Bryce Young 32 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: to be their quarterback of the future. Uh. The Arizona 33 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals so like Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter at for 34 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,559 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Coats, Yes c J. Stroud Seattle Seahawks at five, 35 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: take Trey Wilson at six, Brand Breezy goes to Detroit. 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: Seven to Las Vegas Paris Johnson Jr. At eight. The 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons continue to add to the officive line with 38 00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: Peter Scronsky at nine. The Carolina Panthers Will Levis and in. 39 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles take another pass rusher and Miles Murphy 40 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: from Plimps. Yeah, a lot to jump into here. Let's 41 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: let's start with the first overall pick. I had Jalen 42 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: Carter going one. Again, no trades for either one of 43 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: us in these early mock drafts. So assuming the Bears 44 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: cannot get out of there, somebody wants to come up 45 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: for a quarterback. I had Jalen Carter going one. You 46 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: have Will Anderson. We talked about the other day, if 47 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: you've got to add drusher versus a defensive tackle. Um, 48 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that there's a wrong answer here, but 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: why why Will Anderson over Jalen Carter buck Yeah, and 50 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: looking back at Matt refuses history. I'm sitting here thinking, 51 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, he needs someone that can get after the passer, 52 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: and he's done in a few different ways. He had 53 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: the Forest Buckner within in after schools. He also had 54 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: a handful of guys that they invested in coming off 55 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: to edge. They were speed rushes. Will Anderson is the 56 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: most accomplished pass rusher in the class coming off the edge. 57 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: You talk about the energy, the pass rush prowess, and 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: then the football character. To me, it just seems like 59 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: he would be a perfect fit as a foundational piece 60 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: to that defense. Yeah, I mean I haven't even uh 61 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: haven't even decided how I'm going to shake that out 62 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: between those two guys. Um, I have the same grade 63 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: on both of them. I think they're both outstanding. I 64 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: don't know there's a wrong answer there, whether you want 65 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: to enter your guy or somebody coming off the edge 66 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: like Will Anderson. A couple other ones I want to 67 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: hit on here, Uh c J. Stroud number four to 68 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. Now, one of the benefits the listeners 69 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: have and and those that watch our show know that 70 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: Bucky has a relationship with a lot of these kids 71 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: going back to their time in high school. And I 72 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: know you coach c J. Stroud and seven on seven 73 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: there at the Nike opening. What's something about him that 74 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: maybe we don't know or maybe the listener the watcher 75 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: does not know other than what they've seen on TV 76 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: and watching Ohio State games about c J. Stroud. You know, 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: it was interesting about that experience. Back in the opening, 78 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: c J. Stroud and Bryce Young were both on my team. 79 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Bryce Young was the look. He was much acclaim he 80 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: was the belly hood recruit. C J. Stroud kind of 81 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: flown under the radar, but at that opening over the weekend, 82 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: he really popped. Outstanding player, outstanding poise and presents, did 83 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: a really good job of taking what we were giving 84 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: him and taking it to the next level. And by 85 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: the end of the weekend, he was a guy that 86 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: was celebrated as the m v P because he was 87 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: so on point when it came to the way that 88 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: he played, in the way that he led his team. 89 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: That's it. You watched him at Ohio State and there's 90 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: a lot to really love about his game. I mean, 91 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: he is outstanding arm talent, did a really good job 92 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: of like racking up the numbers at Ohio State. But 93 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: what I liked about it in his last game, he 94 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: let us know what his potential could be. Coming off 95 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: a very disappointing effort against Michigan in terms of the 96 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: team losing the Michigan for the second straight year, he 97 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: was at his best in the playoff. The way that 98 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: he sliced and diced the Georgia Boarddog defense. I think 99 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: you can envision him really growing into maybe a special 100 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: player at the next level. And because of that, I'm 101 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: thinking ending up of his goals. Look, this is a 102 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: team when they've had a plus quarterbacks. They've won a 103 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: lot of games going back to pay manning what they 104 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: did with Andrew Luck. When now you give them a 105 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: top prospect, I think they can build around him and 106 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: quickly return to prominence with him as a QB one. 107 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: All right, we'll keep it moving here. In a second, 108 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: I want to give you one exercise. So it's always fun. 109 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: This is kind of stuff we would do in the 110 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: draft room. But C J. Stroud, if I'm gonna if 111 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: you're gonna go letter grades, right, and so I'm gonna 112 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: give you to two categories, as a point guard and 113 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: as a playmaker. So you've got a to F. How 114 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: would you grade him as a point guard? How would 115 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: you grade him as a playmaker? You know, it's funny 116 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: because I would say, as a point guard in terms 117 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: of being a pass first point guard getting things out, 118 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: I think he hits deadline between a minus B plus uh. 119 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: As a playmaker meaning creativity and all that other stuff, 120 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: I would just say a solid be he doesn't necessarily 121 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: use his athleticism to his advantage, and we didn't really 122 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: see that and too the football playoff. Um, if there 123 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: was one thing that I would add to the utility belt. 124 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,679 Speaker 1: I would encourage him. Man, if he could move around 125 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: just a little bit and extend plays, that would add 126 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: some stuff to the game. But right now he is 127 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: more of a pure shooter than playmaker, and so you 128 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: have to understand it as you build on your team 129 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: and you think about quarterback that you want to add 130 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: to your ruster. Yeah, I think I would probably go 131 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: with you know, an A a minus point guard. I 132 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: think I would probably go B B minus. As a playmaker, 133 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: I think you know, that last game against Georgia was 134 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: great to see him move around, climb, extend place. You 135 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: just see a lot of that throughout his career there 136 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: at Ohio State. Not real sudden, not real explosive in 137 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: short areas, but man, get on time, get the ball out, 138 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: get it where it needs to go. He throws a 139 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: beautiful ball. Um. I think he's absolutely a distributor, so 140 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: im interesting to see. I think the Colts are a 141 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: good fit because that offensive line. The need to add 142 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: some more pieces there, but they've got a couple of 143 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: bedrocks they can build around to put that wall in 144 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: front of him. Let him play point guard there for 145 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: the Colts. Um not not a bad option there. At 146 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: number four. All Right, Brian Breezy at number six is 147 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: a polarizing player. Um, to me, you haven't going to 148 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: the Lions here at six, a team that wants to 149 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: address their defensive front. So before I gave you my 150 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: take on him, Buck, why him? Why they're why the 151 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: sixth overall pick? Well, I'm sitting here thinking, and I 152 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: know he's coming off injuries and those things, but I'm 153 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: sitting there thinking about Dan Campbell in the defense and 154 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: that they're trying to put together, like they want to 155 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: put together a rough and tumble defense that is loaded 156 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: with high energy guys with the right temperament. They kind 157 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: of fit the culture in Detroit. They talk about gritting 158 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: those things. And so when I look at Recy, I 159 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: think he's a perfect guy to put alongside Aidan Hutchinson. 160 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: I think some of the other pass rushers that they have, 161 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: James Houston and all these young guys, they all play 162 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: at a breakneck pace, and so I'm thinking about Recy 163 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: at his best, He's another guy who could jump in 164 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: and add to that. And so I think they need 165 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: to interior player more than an outside player, because that's 166 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: me projecting James Houston to be more of a factor 167 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: for them in the future coming off the edge, and 168 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: I think it's a perfect spot because they don't have 169 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: anybody on the inside that can brush the pass. Yeah. 170 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: Now it's interesting player man, because he does he is powerful, 171 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: he'll kind of wrestle you. He does flash some quickness. 172 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: I just thought, you know, with the knee and uh, 173 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: and just a little bit stiff, you know, and not 174 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: one of those real loose, fluid, dynamic guys. Just kind 175 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: of quick, a little upright, little bit stiff. He'll be uh. 176 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: I think he'll be all over the board for teams. 177 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: You're gonna see some have him way up there and 178 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: some we'll have him down a little bit lower. Buck. 179 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: It is funny because when you go and you look 180 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: and naturally we do it because we look around and 181 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: we look at other mock drafts and you see and 182 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: when we talk to our guys, you hear the different opinions, 183 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: and so he is one of those guys where you 184 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: look around and he could go as high as we 185 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: talk about top ten for a team does desperate. He 186 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: could go to the bottom of the first round, maybe 187 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: even fall out. It's just one of those things. Very 188 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: early in the process, you don't know where he is, 189 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: but you know you recognized hes first round talent, But 190 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: does he have those other things that really solidifies him 191 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: as a top ten pick yet? One more I want 192 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: to hit on here Paris Johnson right behind him. I 193 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be interesting discussion between him and Scarnsky. Uh. 194 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: Some teams have Scarnsky sliding inside playing guard. I think 195 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: he could hold up at tackle. It's a similar debate 196 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: to what we have with Rashaan Slater in terms of 197 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: some people concerned about the length as he played guard, 198 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: does he play tackle? I think Scarnsky can play either. Places. 199 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: Paris Johnson a true tackle though very athletic. To me, 200 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating to see how those two guys 201 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: come off the board because you have a lot of 202 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: upside there in Paris Johnson. Um. I like to see 203 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: him bend a little bit better, but size, quickness, the 204 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: ability to recover is actually pretty good as well. Um. 205 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: There was times I think in the Michigan game we 206 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: got beat inside for a sack on that one. Inside 207 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: shoulders be a little more firm. S needs to get 208 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: physically stronger. He will as he gets older, and and 209 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: just play a little more bend um. Something to keep 210 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: an eye on there, But there's a huge upside with 211 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: Paris Johnson, definitely the size of quickness that that you're 212 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: looking for there. Alright, we're gonna take a quick break. 213 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll jump in here eleven to 214 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: twenty and uh and dig a little deeper on Bucky's 215 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: mock draft. One point oh Titans Hall of Famer and 216 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: Tennessee State head coach Eddie George faces off against his 217 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: former NFL coach Jeff Fisher as some of the best 218 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: up and coming draft eligible players get ready to show 219 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: off their skills for NFL teams. It's the eleventh annual 220 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: NFL p A Collegiate Bowl, Saturday, January six pm Eastern 221 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: only on NFL Work. Looking forward to watching that one 222 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: buck and looking forward to digging in here to the 223 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: rest of your mock draft. Let's get picks eleven through twenty. Um, 224 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: why don't you write all those picks off, and we'll 225 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: find a couple of discussion points to dig into here. 226 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: All here we go. At eleven, Roderick Jones goes to 227 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. At twelve, we have Quinn Johnson going 228 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: to TCU. From TCU going to Houston, Texans. The New 229 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: York Jets take another offensive linement Osiris Torrence from Florida. 230 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: The New England Patriots take Michael Meyer from Notre Dame. 231 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: At sixteen, the Green Bay Packers take Brian Branch from 232 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: Alabama Washington Commanders, Devin Witherspoon quarterback from from Illinois Pittsburgh 233 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: Joey Porter Junior, which would be funny because his dad 234 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: obviously played there. The Detroit Lions take Christian Gonzalez quarnerback 235 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: from Oregon. UH. Tamp Bay Buccaneers take Drew Sanders from 236 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: Arkansas and twenty uh Jackson Smith and Nick Back from 237 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: Ohio State, giving him another outside playmaker uh to join 238 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: DK MT calf and Tyler Lock. Now, I like that one. 239 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: That's a good fit there. Talk about having some weapons 240 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: there for Geno Smith. A couple of things here. I 241 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: want to start, first of all, real quick on number eleven. 242 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: I know it's a new general manager there. I know 243 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: Ran Carthon's coming in there, but you think about the 244 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans completely whiffing on Isaiah Wilson out of Georgia. 245 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: Have you been in the room, been on teams where 246 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: you've missed on a player from a certain school in 247 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: a certain position, that maybe leaves you a little bit 248 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: shy about going back to the same school for the 249 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: same position. Oh, I can tell you a better story. 250 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: When I was with the Seattle Seahawks, Mike Homgreen played 251 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: at USC we did not take players from U C. 252 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: L A. When I was still there, he had a 253 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: disdain for those guys. He liked they were right fits 254 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: or whatever. So, yeah, I have seen that come true, 255 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's it's sometimes it's tough to go shopping 256 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: at the same store when you've had a bad experience 257 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: and I'm banking that new general manager. You don't have 258 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: their history. Maybe they go back to Georgia and see 259 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: if they can get it right this time. Yeah, one 260 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: of the studies I want to dig into. Uh it's 261 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: coming up here with this next pick, Quentin Johnson from TCU. 262 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: Think about Houston Texans taking him. He is big, he 263 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: is fast, He's made a ton of big plays there 264 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: for the horn Frogs as they went all the way 265 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: to the National Championship Game. Bucky, you have him going 266 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: there twelve. The concern for me would be the drops 267 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: I think it's drop percentages over ten percent, which is 268 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: really really high. Um, that's a little bit of the knock, 269 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: And I'm curious. You know a study that I want 270 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: to do and we'll do it here over the next 271 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I want to do a study on 272 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: big twelve whiteouts and how they've trans translated to the 273 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: next level. I know a couple that I've missed on 274 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: thinking about guys like Kevin White, Corey Coleman. It's, uh, 275 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: there aren't a ton of those guys, as much as 276 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: they throw the ball and as successful as there in college, 277 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: there aren't a ton of those guys that have that 278 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: have lived up to it there at the next level. 279 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: Does that concern you at all? Quentin Johnston and what 280 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Again, similar conversation we just had there, 281 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: but in terms of conferences producing certain players of certain positions, 282 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you have concerns of valid When 283 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: I look at him, he's he's pretty much a straight 284 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: line guy. He's a big playmaker, but he's not necessarily 285 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: what we call a craftsman, a polished wide receiver that 286 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: can make things happen in this scenario. What I'm thinking 287 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: about the Houston Texans. They have to be able to 288 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: generate points. And I'm trying to figure out who could 289 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,479 Speaker 1: you compare with Nico Collins to give them a compliment, 290 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: he takes the speed Nicole Collins as the jump ball spersist, 291 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: and then you had a slot receiver. When you think 292 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: about how they normally want to get down. Yeah, that 293 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: that that evaluation that we're gonna have on Quentin Versus 294 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: and Quinn Johnson and some of the other guys will 295 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: be interesting because he's not the guys that we've talked 296 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: about that normally pop at the next level. Immediately when 297 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: we talked about Justin Jefferson and Cooper Cup those guys 298 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: that could run routes and do those things, that's not 299 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: his bag. And that's also hasn't been in the bag 300 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: of a lot of those big twelve wide receivers that 301 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: we've talked about up at the top of the charts. Yeah, 302 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: in terms of the earlier round whiteouts, I would say, 303 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: ceedee lamb, and then I guess, uh, at that point 304 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: in time when Christian Kirk was coming out, I can't 305 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: remember if they were already in the SEC or not. Uh, 306 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: come out of a and m but those would be 307 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: kind of the last Two's obviously a great player there, 308 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: so it's not like you can't find him, but there 309 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: are some bus you know, kind of surrounding those guys. 310 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: Interesting discussion as we move on here. Uh, we've got 311 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: fifteen Brian Branch from Alabama plays nickel, can play safety. 312 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: You can do a lot of different things. I mean 313 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: we've said this for years, right, I mean, the nickel 314 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: is a starter in this league, so you've got to 315 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: have three corners. He's pretty dynamic in there with what 316 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: he can do playing the run, blitz and doing those 317 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: different things. I mean, if you have it, if you 318 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: have a grade that's a little bit higher on a 319 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: on a nickel versus maybe a little bit lower with 320 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: an outside corner, how would you how would you go 321 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: about navigating those waters? Buck Well? I mean, I think 322 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: normally DJ the way I view the nickel position. Some 323 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: people view it as a throwery position, that's the place 324 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: where you put all the little guys. But I believe 325 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: your most scale corner has to play in the nickel 326 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: because it's a different position than anything else. You've gotta 327 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: be able to be tough enough to deal with the 328 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: run game, you have to handle where receivers in what 329 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: they call two way goals, which is a different uh 330 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: set of skills that you must possess, and uh, depending 331 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: on how they deployed the nickel, you've got to be 332 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: a high i Q player because there's a lot of 333 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: different things that you have to be responsible for that 334 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: you're not tasked with on the perimeter. And so I 335 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: like remembers and I think playing in that Alabama system 336 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: certainly prepares you to have a lot of success. I 337 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: think about me Fitzpatrick who played in there early in 338 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: his career at Alabama before moving to safety and doing 339 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: some of that stuff. Uh, those guys that played that 340 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: spot normally go on to be versatile Swiss army knives 341 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. I think is another one 342 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: coming out of Alabama that should be able to have 343 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: some of that that ability. Interesting stuff. Yeah to me, again, 344 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: if you've got a higher grade put you're taken, you 345 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: take him over somebody that's just purely an outside guy 346 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: because that is such a valuable position right now and 347 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: they're being brought into the run game so much. Um, 348 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: you need somebody that's excellent tackler. He is a phenomenal 349 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: tackler against the run. Dreff Sanders nine team to the 350 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks. Six ft five off the ball linebacker 351 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: transferred Alabama to Arkansas kind of looks like this trend 352 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: that we've seen over the last handful of years Buck, 353 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: and you see it with the Jags with the two 354 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: linebackers they took that played well this this past season. 355 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: Length feels like it's more coveted size and length off 356 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: the ball linebacker than uh than we've seen maybe in 357 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: decades prior. You know, you gotta have size. I think 358 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: the game is, look we always talked about is cyclical. 359 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: The game is coming back where it was nice for 360 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: a little while where we had the undersized linebackers that 361 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: were fast and they could do those things when their 362 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: teams are running the football. Just look at what we've 363 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: seen in the tournament so far. Teams are running the ball, 364 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: they're running the little guys off the field, and so 365 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: you need to have linebackers to have some thumb, but 366 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: they also need to be able to handle their business 367 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: in coverage. If they can add something to the past 368 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: for us as blitzers and those things, it certainly helps 369 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: your defense because they can be to three down players, 370 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: and so Sands is a very productive player that does 371 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: a lot, brings a lot to the table. And when 372 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: I think about the Bucks and what they need, they're 373 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna need someone to be able to replace Lavonte David, 374 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: someone that can go alongside um Devin White and hilped him. 375 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: And I think he is a guy who certainly has 376 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: the i Q and aptitude to be able to do that. 377 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: And no doubt, I think it's again teams are looking 378 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: for that, trying to find that size, length, range, speed, 379 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: be able to clog passing lanes not only with your speed, 380 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: but with your with your length as well. All right, 381 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: there you go. That's picks eleven through twenty. We're gonna 382 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: come back again. Only thirty one picks this year. We 383 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: do not have thirty two because the Miami Dolphins have 384 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: to forfeit their first round pick for getting a little trouble. 385 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: But we'll get two picks one through thirty one. We'll 386 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: do that right after this break. All right, buck, let's 387 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: keep the train moving here. Uh, this is the final 388 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: third of your mock draft. These are picks one through 389 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: thirty one, and this is kind of always a fascinating 390 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: part to me, because you've got playoff teams. You've got 391 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: really good football teams looking to try and tinker and 392 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: toy and get those last little pieces to fit to 393 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: try and chase a championship. Here it starts with the Chargers. 394 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: At what do you have here? Rip? Rip off these 395 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: names with teams and we'll see again. A couple of 396 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: interesting ones to keep an eye on. So your Chargers 397 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: BI Jean Rominson from Texas running back, but the first 398 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: running back to go in the first round. Uh. The 399 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens taking Anthony Richards in quarterback from Florida. Minnesota 400 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: Vikings Sam Smith another dB from South Carolina. The Jacksonville 401 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: Jaguars go to Georgia again, get another corner, Kaylee Ringo. Uh. 402 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: The New York Giants at twenty five? How about Za 403 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: Flowers from Boston College, The Dallas Cowboys Deante Banks from Maryland. 404 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills A twenty seven take a wide receiving 405 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: Jodan Addison from USC Cincinnati Bengals tied in Darnielle Washington 406 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: from Georgia. The twenty nine the Denver Broncos, Lucas van 407 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: Ness from Iowa. Thirty the Kansas City Chiefs Antonio Johnson, 408 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: Texas A and M thirty one another running back to 409 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: the Philadelphi Eagles, Jamar Gibbs from Alabama. Yeah, we've got 410 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: book and running backs here again, be John Robinson. Think 411 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: about how good Austin Ekeler has been with the eighteen touchdowns, 412 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: but he didn't have many hunter yard games this year. 413 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: This is a team that did not run the ball 414 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: very well. He was obviously made it count very efficient 415 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: caught over a hunter balls is a fantastic player. They 416 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: drafted Isaiah Spiller last year to try and be that compliment. 417 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: He was injured, never really kind of got rolling. Josh 418 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: Kelly did a did a solid job filling into that role. 419 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: But I think trying to find another bigger back to 420 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: compliment Austin Ekeler makes sense, whether or not they do 421 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: it here in the first round or maybe try and 422 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: find another one in the middle rounds. But Bijan Robinson, 423 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: to me, is uh is a value at this point 424 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: in time. The twenty one pick um. I think he's 425 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: a top ten player in this draft class. So I 426 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: like what you did there. I want to ask you 427 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: about pick the New York Giants going with the receiver. 428 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: Not a surprise, maybe a surprise some people who aren't 429 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: familiar with Zay Flowers and what he brings to the table. Yeah, 430 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: g J. We talked about guys who have uh those 431 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: skills craftsmen, guys that can run, browse and get out 432 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: of in and out of breaks and create uh space 433 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: and separation and make these plays down the field. Uh. 434 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: Zay Flowers can certainly do that, and they when you 435 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: think about the history of the New York Giants, man, 436 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: they talked about teams that like the shop in certain stores. 437 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: They've had a lot of success going to Boston College 438 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: and finding the players. I think he's another guy that fits. 439 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: And I also like the fact that he played up 440 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: in the Northeast and so when you talk about cold win, 441 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: whether he's dealt with all of that stuff. I just 442 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: think he's a really good player. I think he'd be 443 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: a nice fit for the Giants. Yeah, my comp form 444 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: looking back through my notes as t Y Hilton, I 445 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: really like him. He's a good football player. UM looking 446 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: forward to seeing him in the spring, but really really crisp. 447 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: Everything he does is very very crisp, So uh be 448 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: interesting one to keep an eye on. There. See what 449 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: the Giants end up doing. They have to get more 450 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: firepower offensively, without a doubt. I want to get to 451 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: a big corner here. Uh Deante Banks from Maryland, you 452 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: had twenty six going to the Dallas Cowboys. I feel 453 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: like there's a clump about four or five guys that 454 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: are gonna be in this range late one, early two. 455 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: Those big, long, physical corners can really run with Deante Banks. 456 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: But why that position with the Cowboys? Because you saw it. 457 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: You saw it in the playoffs. And even though the 458 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense play lights out against the forty niners. Uh, 459 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: they struggled the last part of the season once Anthony 460 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: Brown got hurt at corner. They've tried to draft some 461 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: other players have not had success finding that role. I 462 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: know they took Kelvin Joseph a couple of years ago, 463 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: like uh searn right. They just haven't been able to 464 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: get it. So now let's go and get someone that's tall, 465 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: that's athletic. Let's go someone who has I would say 466 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: first round measurables when you look at you put him 467 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: opposite Trevon Dicks, and now you're able to kind of 468 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: play the style of defense that you need to play. 469 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: We always talk about it. You need to build your 470 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: team to win a division. And when I look at 471 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: those Philadelphia Eagles and the receivers that they have on 472 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: the outside, Davante Smith, A J. Brown, you better make 473 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: sure you have two, maybe three corners, high end corners 474 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: that can match up the Cowboys have to invest in 475 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: that position. Now. I want to get to one more 476 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: here before we wrap this thing up. Here the pick 477 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: Darnell Washington, the big tight end from Georgia. You have 478 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: him going here to the Cincinnati Bengals. I love this fit. Uh. 479 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: You saw what the Cinnati Bengals did last week against 480 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: the Buffalo As you talk about you know teams that 481 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: are still playing that can run the football and be physical. 482 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: This is playing with the sixth offensive lineman. He is massive, uh, 483 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: and he is unbelievable in the run game. He will 484 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: he will not only you know, fight to a stalemate. 485 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: He'll create movement at the point of attack. He'll drive guys. 486 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: He can on down block Street, all kinds of movement. 487 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: He can work up to the second level. He gives 488 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: you a lot of versatility in the run game with 489 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: what he can do. And then I think he's still 490 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: growing as a pass receiver. I think you see somebody 491 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: who's got better throughout his time there at Georgia. He's 492 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: always gonna be able to run straight lines. You're gonna 493 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: be able to get him down the scene. You're gonna 494 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: be able to get him on shallow crossers. Now is 495 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: he an option route guy at this point in time 496 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: to be able to settle his way to the top 497 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: of routes to create separation that way, I don't think so. 498 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: You know, maybe you're gonna get more of that as 499 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: he continues to UH to play more and get more 500 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: experience in the passing game. But Buck, I've got to 501 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: I've got a moving billboard uh down the field. We 502 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: use the same analogy last year for Gilanni Woods, the 503 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: big tight end at of Virginia who went to the 504 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: colts Um. This is an enormous target in the past game. 505 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: But I think the value there is what he gives 506 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: you in the run game. Yeah, the value. Let's think 507 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: about their offensive line and the issues that they've had. 508 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: We've seen teams use a six offensive lineman to stabilize 509 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: the running game. The Cincinnati Beagles now have that with 510 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: another tight end. And if you think whatever they do 511 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: bring them back being able to be more more ultiple offense. 512 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: This is a really good football team already, Cincinnative beingles 513 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: and we can talk about their what was they tried 514 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: to address it, but adding another edge player, a guy 515 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: who was terrific in the run game, only gives them 516 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: an opportunity to balance out what they do and add 517 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: more diversity to the packages that they use, so they're 518 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: not just all eleven personnel. They can go some twelve personnel, 519 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: one back to tight ends and do some different things 520 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: to create different looks for Joe Burrow. Yeah, I love that. 521 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: I love that pick absolutely. Again. You you have finished 522 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: it off there with you Mere Gibbs from Alabama going 523 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles again, the Eagles with two first 524 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: round picks. Howe Roseman making his magic work here, uh 525 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: in the trade market. To think a team that's a 526 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 1: game away from going to the super Bowl and here 527 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna come back with two first round picks. That's 528 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: GM ing right there. That's good gm NG by Howie 529 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles.
