1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Who are we gonna take Joe. Yeah, that's a good question, 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: and it's one that we're gonna have to find out 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: right around to pick twenty seven when that gets turned in. 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: We have an idea already, trade up one. I thought you, 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: no sevens, we're gonna you don't want to pass up 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: a better player that you have really good grades on 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: for a perceived need. Because you do that, you end 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: up devaluing the pick. We have a lot of needs 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: across our team. This draft stacks up to help us 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: at any of those. How are we looking here, Joe? 11 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: Should I be like at all worried about internet connections? 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: We've done a lot of simulations already and we're gonna 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: do some more. There's multiple platforms to make up pick. 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: There's definitely a fail station in place, and worst case scenario, 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: everybody goes dark and Eric and pick up the phone 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: and can call the lead. Welcome into the lounge. We 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: are just days away from the start of the NFL Draft, 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 1: and goodness gracious, it can't get here fast enough. I'll 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: tell you what. The days always slow down when you're 20 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: coming up to the draft, But at this time, during 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: the whole COVID night team pandemic and we're locked up. 22 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: Time is alling. I feel like it's been a year. Well, 23 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: you know what's interesting about the draft, beyond just the 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: draft itself, is that I think that's gonna be Everyone's 25 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: so excited about it because this is the first time 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: that there is a sporting event item for people of 27 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: like everyone's watching old games and there's like a Michael 28 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: Jordan documentary and that's like the most exciting things in 29 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: the sports world that are happening right now. Finally, now 30 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: you have something new and it's a draft, and obviously 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: we're all fired up about it, UM and I think 32 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: fans will be too. Just real quick, before we jump 33 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: into our interview, I want to want to make sure 34 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: fans know about the virtual Draft experience that we're doing 35 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: with is a really cool way to try to incorporate 36 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: fans into everything that's happening. We're gonna have. It's gonna 37 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: be for all three days of the draft on our homepage, 38 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: on our app, our social media channels. You'll be able 39 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: to get a really cool look at everything that we're doing. 40 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: A couple of things after the draft. Every day they 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: will be streaming the press conferences, UM and you'll have 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: to actually the opportunity to throw in some questions that 43 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: could get posed to our decision makers. So that's one 44 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: thing that we'll be doing. And one of those decision makers, 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: of course, is our Director of Player Personnel, Joe Orties. 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: So let's not waste any more time. Let's go ahead 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: and welcome him into the podcast. Well, we are thrilled 48 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: to have back Joe Orties. He promised, Joe, you promised 49 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: that you come back, and you followed through. So you're 50 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: a man in your word. I'll give you that. I am. 51 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: I tried to be anyway. So you know, we're only 52 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: a few days away from the draft here, and I 53 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: guess the standard terrible, yuck yuck question is who are 54 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: we gonna take Joe. Yeah, that's a good question, and 55 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: it's one that we're gonna have to find out right 56 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: around pick twenty seven when that gets turned in. We 57 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: have an idea. You know, um, you guys already trade 58 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: up one. I thought no one guests turned in. Okay, 59 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: I got you. So that's just so hard to predict. 60 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: The further you are down the draft room draft board, 61 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: the harder it is to predict who's the player will 62 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: be So it's gonna kind of wait and watch the 63 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: draft unfold and hopefully a player that can help us 64 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: guests to us in the first round. I feel like, 65 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: how many go ahead? How many guys would you say 66 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: it's between right now? But like if you if you 67 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: were making a prediction right now to say here, here 68 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: the three five, I could certainty say it's gonna be 69 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: one of these. How many guys? Is that? Um, you 70 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: know a guy that's It's so hard because it just 71 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: it depends on how the draft unfold. If teams start 72 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: taking you know, for need early versus be the best 73 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: player available b p A we call it, you know, 74 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: then then it could really the group of guys could grow. 75 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: It could it could get the ten guys. I think 76 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: ultimately you look at you say, okay, these when we're picking, Okay, 77 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: these fifteen guys are probably gonna be gone. And then 78 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of these dozen guys. And you 79 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: have a you know, a likelihood, a percentage of the 80 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: likelihood that each individual guy will get there, stronger feel 81 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: for one guy being there versus there's a chance this 82 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: guy can be there. So it depends on really how 83 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: the first top of the draft unfolds. But I would 84 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: say there's there's probably twelve guys where you can see 85 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: a scenario where okay, he gets to twenty eight, and 86 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, there's probably fifteen guys where you like, Now, 87 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: I don't say it happening. You mentioned best player available 88 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: and our John Osberg wrote an interesting column here a 89 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: little bit ago about you know, after you go fourteen 90 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: and two and you have some specific needs. Right, let's 91 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: just say inside linebacker for example, right, a right guard. Right, 92 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: is this the year where you say, hey, if we 93 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: can plug those holes, maybe that puts us over the 94 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: top because we're already so good. It's not like we're 95 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: a team that needs to rebuild, right, Yeah, I mean 96 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: in a perfect reality, yes, But you also don't want 97 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: to You don't want to pass up a better player, 98 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: you know, especially high that you have really good grades 99 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: on for a perceived need. Because you do that, you 100 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: end up you end up devaluing the pick, you know, 101 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: by taking a player that truthfully doesn't belong up there 102 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: with a player at a higher level on the board. So, 103 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: and the good thing about us is, well, I know 104 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: we have some you know, perceived or you know, immediate 105 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: needs uh, you know, but we have a lot of 106 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: needs across our team. UM, I think that that this 107 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: draft stacts up to help us at any of those. 108 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: So Ian Rappingport put out a tweet earlier today, I 109 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: think it was her last week here earlier in the 110 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: week that he said that he thinks this draft and 111 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: talking with some people around the league, that the mock 112 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: drafts are more off base than past years because maybe 113 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: that's just a weird year. Obviously, it's just a weird 114 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: year where there's not as much personal contact and teams 115 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: are gonna having a different approach. Everyone's in the same boat. 116 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: So do you see this that same way that this 117 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: year's mock drafts when you look at those that are 118 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: out there, are they less accurate than you feel like 119 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: you typically find in normal years? You know, I think 120 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: maybe from the standpoint of, you know, especially those early 121 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: picks where hey, you know X team, the Bengals, you know, 122 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: have been on a visit to l s U. They've 123 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: brought in, you know, these three guys, and I think 124 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: it's it's easier to kind of predict a team's focus 125 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: at the top of the draft. UM, and obviously not 126 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: bringing players in for thirty visits that a lot of 127 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: them do get out. You know, we try our best 128 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: to keep them quiet, but a lot of teams of 129 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: business do get out, whether it's through the player of 130 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: the agent um. But so those aren't happening this year. 131 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: So now you see, O, L this player did this 132 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: number of interviews. Well, it's so much easier. There's no 133 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: limit on interviews in terms of a number of guys 134 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: you can interview, so everyone's interviewing more guys. So it 135 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: becomes harder to say, hey, this is who the Texans 136 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: brought in, this is who the Bucks brought in. And 137 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: I think you know, from the guys putting together MOX, 138 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: maybe they're having a little bit more challenging time. But 139 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: it's also most like everyone does. Is if you look 140 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: at all the MOX people try to marry picks of 141 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: need to us and and all the other teams. So 142 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: I think it's probably need based still. And I think 143 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: the big thing though, is that you have you haven't 144 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: had workouts, you haven't had stories about guys having a 145 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: phenomenal pro day, and you know that buzz created through 146 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: the through the machine, so to speak. So everybody wants 147 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: to know how this whole virtual draft thing is gonna 148 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: work out there? Are you, Mr tech savvy? How are 149 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: we looking here, Joe? Should I be like at all 150 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: worried about internet connections? What's going on? So we did 151 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: so before we had our meetings last week and Monday 152 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: through Friday and are actually Saturday, and so we went through. Uh, 153 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: my wife and I were kind of looking through our 154 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: internet and the good thing is we're you for a 155 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: new modem. And um. Actually the day where the state 156 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: of Maryland got locked down at five o'clock that evening, UM, 157 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: I was actually already out of the office because my 158 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: son was he was ill, dealing with a fever and 159 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: a cough. So we were a little you know, concerned 160 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: and being careful. Um, so he had he had. We 161 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: did a virtual doctor's appointment with him, and then I 162 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: ran over to Comcast and got a new router um 163 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: and the guy told me that this can handle the 164 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: most the highest capacity that we can offer the public, 165 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: and so we cranked it up to you know, a 166 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: high capacity, you know, and so I feel pretty good 167 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: about my internet speed, you know. But again it's I 168 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: may have the ability to carry a thousand and well 169 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: he might have to help me out on this one. 170 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: But you know, n pH s and you know, but um, 171 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: I guess it's a gig in the end. But um, 172 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: Comcast doesn't necessarily I will allow you to do that 173 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: in through cable. So I'm running about like three, which 174 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: is the I T is told I T departments told 175 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: me that's plenty enough. So I haven't had They didn't 176 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: have any issues really. Um during meetings last week, we 177 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: had a lot of guys on a couple of times 178 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: where the feed would get a little bit choppy. Um, 179 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: and I kind of, you know, if if I felt 180 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: like it was coming from me, I step out and say, 181 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: is anyone on the Xbox or watching YouTube or you know, 182 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: Netflix stream in something? And but for the most part 183 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: of went smooth. And uh, we didn't really have any 184 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: problems with anyone through the through the weekend meetings, and 185 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about it. We've done a lot 186 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: of we've done a lot of simulations already and we're 187 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna do some more over the course of next week 188 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: leading up to the draft. So how does how does 189 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: it all work? Can you explain to us at home? Like, 190 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: how how is the pick going to be made? Virtually? Yeah, 191 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: so um, it's basically there's multiple platforms to make up pick. Um. 192 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: You know, the league's gonna use uh Microsoft teams. They're 193 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: going to have a conference call if you can't get 194 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: through on teams, and worst case scenario, you pick phone 195 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: and make the call if if everything's down. So um, 196 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: there's multiple platforms to make the pick. It's basically gonna 197 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: work like this. Eric's gonna be in the in the 198 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: virtual draft room, and he's gonna be running the meeting 199 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: and running the discussion, and he'll tell us who we're 200 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: gonna pick, and and Nick mattheo will turn it in. 201 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 1: And if Nick has problem, I'll turn it in or 202 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: Eric will turn it in. So we'll have we have backups. 203 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: So if Nick all of a sudden just blacked out 204 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: because he lost power or internet and he doesn't know 205 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: who we're picking, then I'll do it or Eric will 206 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: do it. So um, there's definitely a fail safe in place. 207 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: And again, worst case scenario, everybody goes dark and Eric 208 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: and pick up the phone and call the league. This 209 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: might be a silly question, but is it is the rule? 210 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: Once it hits the chat, basically that's your pick. You know, 211 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: if you're thinking about, like if if you type it in, 212 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: if Matdio types it in and he's planned hits in 213 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: but he doesn't get he thinks Eric says go, but 214 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: Eric says no, right, like, like, how does that? How 215 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: does that work? What are the rules on that? So 216 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: I've not been part of any calls with the league 217 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: where that the question has been posed. Um. I actually 218 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: did talk to Nick about that yesterday and he's like, 219 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have bad dreams about this, you know, like, 220 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: don't hit enter until you know it's until you know 221 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: it's done. Um. Now, I think through the team's app, 222 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: it's going to go straight to the league. It's not 223 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: going to be broadcast to all the teams, so I'm 224 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: sure they will. I'm hoping and I'm sure they will. 225 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: They confirmed. So and so is your pick? You know, yes, 226 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: it's confirmed? Uh so, I think, yes, if you hit enter, 227 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: it's the pick. But it's just like handing them the 228 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 1: card behind you. Don't hand them the card until Eric 229 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: says hand him the card. You know, don't hit enter 230 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: until Eric says enter. And truthfully, you know it doesn't 231 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: take along the type of names, So don't type of 232 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: name until he says, turn it in, you know. And 233 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: so Joe you mentioned about trades, and it has me 234 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: curious because I wonder, because of this all being virtual, 235 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: whether there it's just gonna be too hard to execute 236 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: trades because we all know how this whole virtual thing works, 237 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: and it just gets crazy. And I imagine it's already 238 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: crazy in the draft room without all this, just trying 239 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: to work out trades. So do you think there will 240 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: be less trades because of all that this year? Uh? No, 241 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: I don't think so, because you know, most trades are 242 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: executed via the phone, if not all trades, very few 243 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: through any other means. So, um, I think people will 244 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 1: still make the calls. Maybe they'll be a little bit 245 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: more proactive and call a little bit earlier. But the 246 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 1: biggest thing that happens wants the trade offers made of 247 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: the trade and discussion begins. Is in the room, we're 248 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: talking about different options, what we could possibly you know, 249 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: whether we like the trade or not, what we should 250 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: ask for in return, you know, in addition to what 251 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: they're offering. Um, So those discussions still be had. I 252 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: do think that you'll want to make decisions, you know, 253 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: But this, you know a little bit quicker. Um, But 254 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: it's just that's typically the case on all trades, even 255 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: in the draft room, you know, the hardest trades to make. 256 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: Or when you're sitting on the clock and you have 257 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: five minutes left and the call comes within or four 258 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: minutes left and all of sten the first call comes in. 259 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: So whether or not it's virtual or whether you're not, 260 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: you're in in the draft room and knowing s Mills, 261 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: those are those are more time sensitive. But um, you know, 262 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: I think I don't think there'll be a difference in 263 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: terms of trades. I think teams will want to come 264 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: up and get guys they like and and uh, and 265 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: teams will be willing to move back. So Joe, let's uh, 266 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: let's get into some players, um that we've spent a 267 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: lot of time discussing. Let's start with the two right 268 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: at the top we probably discussed more than anybody else, 269 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: and that would be the two linebackers, Kenneth Murray and 270 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Queen. So are either of these guys gonna be 271 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: there at twenty eight? We will have to see, you know, 272 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: I know where they'll both, they'll both be on the 273 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: board at one. Beyond that, I can't tell you who's 274 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: gonna be on the board past one? You know, well, 275 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't think Joe Burrow will be on the board 276 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: pass one. Well, he may not be, so you can 277 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: cross off the list. Yeah, just on, just on those guys. 278 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: I am curious from a standpoint, I think that one 279 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: of the things that's challenging to figure out what those 280 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 1: those two guys in particular, is they're great players, but 281 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: they play a position that is not necessarily as valued 282 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: as a pass rusher or as a left tackle or 283 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: as a corner. Um, how do you just evaluate the 284 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: linebacker position? Obviously we've had great linebacker playing Baltimore for 285 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: so many years with Ray and then c j Um. 286 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: Just how do you view that position and the importance 287 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: of it in today's NFL. I think it's I think 288 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: it's very important. I mean, you know, especially the way 289 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: the linebackers have changed. You know, guys, are you know, 290 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: being able to cover um? You know, obviously you want 291 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: your inside backers to play the run, be able to 292 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: come downhill, but the way they bought the game has 293 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: changed and developed over the years. With as much as 294 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: the balls being thrown around, you definitely want guys that 295 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: can offer a coverage value. So um, you know, I 296 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: would say if you look at last year's draft to Bote, 297 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: both Devans went high. You know, I think the league 298 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: has a whole values inside backers and what your value 299 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: is just good football players with regardless of the position. 300 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: You know, there was a time where a guard would 301 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: never go in the first ten picks, if not the 302 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: first twenty picks, and now you have guards going into 303 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: the top five, top ten picks all the time. So um, 304 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: I think the league there used to be a premium 305 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: on certain positions. Now people are just valuing good football 306 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: players that regards the position that can help their teams 307 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: win football games. Now that this might sound blasphemous, Joe, 308 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: but I couldn't help when I when I break down 309 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: the tape, you know, because some big, big tape guy, 310 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: and by that I mean YouTube highlights. Um uh, But 311 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: I mean when I watched Kenneth Murray's tape, I couldn't 312 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: help but think this guy reminds me of Ray a lot, 313 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: and just like his personality is leadership. I mean, I oh, 314 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: it's crazy. I know, it's crazy to put a guy 315 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: in the Ray Lewis category when he hasn't even played 316 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: an NFL down, But does he remind you of Ray 317 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: at all? Ray is a Hall of Fame line back. 318 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: Oh boy, here your first ballot Hall of Fame. I 319 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: don't think it's fair to, you know, compare anyone to 320 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: Ray Lows, not with all he's given this this city 321 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: and this team, this organization. I don't I wouldn't want 322 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: to put that on anybody. I mean, Ray is one 323 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: of a kind and just you know, and I didn't 324 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: do Ray coming out either, so I certainly can't compare him, 325 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Ray coming out. I'll say this, Kenneth 326 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: is a good football player with with a lot of 327 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: athletic skill and uh and he's a good kid. So 328 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: that's what I'll tell you about. But in terms of 329 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: comparing him to Ray Lows, I can't do that. That's 330 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: a that's a that's a bar that I don't think 331 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: anyone deserves to be set to. You know. Now, last 332 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: year we spent a lot of time talking about wide 333 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: receiver and if you remember correctly, Joe, in this same podcast, 334 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: we did a little bit before the draft, we told 335 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: you that you were going to draft Marquis Brown. Do 336 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: you remember, yeah? I think, But and you wanted a J. Brown. 337 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: I think, right, you know that's correct. We'll give it 338 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: to you. Orkis is a pretty excellent pick. Ye, A J. 339 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: Brown was pretty good too. Yeah, they both you know. 340 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: And if you're looking at a lot of the while 341 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: through a lot last year, Week said that there's a 342 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: lot of good white offs in this draft and they 343 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: can be productive, then ye, and they kind of they 344 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: helped serve. So this is another good wide receiver draft. 345 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: So I think and and again like the way the 346 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: college game and the pro games are kind of marrying 347 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: up in terms of the way the ball is getting 348 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: thrown around. I think those guys, those receivers, you know, 349 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: they could take and high I have a chance to 350 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: come in and be good players for their games. So 351 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: do you do you want to hear who we like 352 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: this year at wide receiver? You ready? All right? I'm 353 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: thinking now, not my favorite guy, but I think this 354 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: could be the pick. Okay, kJ Handler kJ Handler because 355 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: here's my here's my theory. Joe more explosion, more speed. 356 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: You think about two are kiss on the field? Are you? 357 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: We're talking about an undefendable offense. Now, he's very fast, 358 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. You can and you can 359 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: return to that's to see. That's what I'm talking about now, Garrett, 360 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: tell him your guys. See, I kind of like we 361 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: kind of like the same guy. So I can't but 362 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: I can't say that I like Garrett's pick. But go ahead, Garret. 363 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: I've been on Jalen Reagor from TCU for the past 364 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: two months. I just feel like he would be a 365 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: huge addition to the offense. He still has a speed. 366 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Handler's fast obviously, but Jalen Reagor has got 367 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: incredible speed. He also has return ability, threat to score 368 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: every time he touches the ball, So he's gonna be 369 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: the pick in the second round, right, Okay, okay, you 370 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: guys are you guys? So we're taking Handler one and 371 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: uh no, no, no one one. These are these are 372 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: second round picks. Oh you didn't tell me that. You 373 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: were saying, oh, second round picks. Okay. I thought you 374 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: guys were like setting us taking two while out in 375 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: the first To know, we we just have different guys 376 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: in the second round. I got you, okay, both you know, 377 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: and it's funny that you both picked fast guys that 378 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: can return, so, like you know, it's kind of need based, right, 379 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, but but you're also thinking about our offense. 380 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: That's good, huh, I mean do you do you? I 381 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: know you're not gonna give us the exact uh type 382 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: of wide receiver that you guys want, but obviously you 383 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: want complimentary pieces. And you look at what the Chiefs 384 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: did with track stars out there last year. How much 385 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: do you feel like like speed nowadays in the NFL 386 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: is just at a premium. Yeah, well, you know, I 387 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: think last year, if you look at our draft, we 388 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: got faster and a a lot of skill positions. Uh Miles, Miles, Uh, 389 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,239 Speaker 1: Justice Justice, So you know, yeah, certainly you want to 390 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: make the faster you are, the harder it is to defend, definitely, 391 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: and the bigger and stronger you are, the harder it 392 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: is to defend. So like I think, if you look 393 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: at our run game, we want to be physical, and 394 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: if you look at the receivers we have, we have 395 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: some fast guys, but we also have guys again like 396 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: you gotta catch the ball right and uh, and guys 397 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: like Marquis he's got sticky hands and and uh Myles 398 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: made some big catches for us. I know he didn't 399 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: get a lot of a lot of balls, a lot 400 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: of chances. But um, he made some big flutch third 401 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: down catches, some touchdown grabs for us. So we want 402 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: guys that can obviously catch the ball. I don't think 403 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: speed is a you know, a deal breaker. You know, 404 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: a guy who's not fast is a deal breaker. I 405 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: said that last year. I think just the way the 406 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: draft fell and the way we are picks fell, we 407 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: ended up taking guys that could run faster than some 408 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: of the other guys. But you mentioned like A J. Brown, Well, 409 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: he wasn't as fast as Miles or Marquis, but he 410 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: was a good player that we really liked because he 411 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: was physical, tough, and he caught the football. So can 412 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: we give you one more guy that we both really like? 413 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: And it's it's rare, I think that make and I 414 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: are on the same page. It's not. But weirdly enough, 415 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: it's happened a lot. I think, as we've just been 416 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: discussing so much about this draft is uh on the 417 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: offensive line, which I want to talk a little bit 418 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: about death. But Robert Hunt, um big offensive lineman. What 419 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: do you think of him? And then just broadly, what 420 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: are you looking for? I guess as an offensive lineman 421 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,959 Speaker 1: if you try to replace Marshall. Yeah, again, Like Marshall 422 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: was kind of one of those rare guys. So you 423 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: you you replace the position, you don't replace the guy. Um. 424 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: You know. So Marshall was just so good for so long. Um. 425 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: Tremendous player, tremendous leader, just everything about him. He loved 426 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: him and he'll be missed. Um. I think the thing, 427 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: you know, you want, you want guys that are you 428 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: have some power to their game and some toughness and 429 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: some competitiveness. You know, if you look at our offensive line, 430 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: uh this past year, you know, like Bradley Boseman, he 431 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: didn't set the world on fire in terms of testing 432 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: numbers and things like that, but he's big, smart, tough, 433 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: he stays on his feet, and he gets the job done. 434 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: So I think that's what you want from an offensive line. 435 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: We're a physical football team up front, and I think 436 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to stay physical up front when we 437 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: look at offensive lineman. You guys added to defensive lineman 438 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: in free agency? Would it be crazy to say the 439 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: Ravens are out of the defensive lineman game when you 440 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: have so many good d lineman even you know in 441 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: the first round, Like I have a feeling that pick 442 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking at some really good defensive linemen, 443 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: including Auburn has a good one, Joe, I know that 444 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: you know who I'm talking about. Auburn has got a 445 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: few good d line down there. You know, Alburn, Auburn, 446 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: you know they're they're coming back, and uh, hopefully we 447 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: can keep adding players down there and get it, you know, 448 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: catch up to L s U in Alabama. But no, 449 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think you want to eliminate 450 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: any position, especially when you talk about the fronts. You know, 451 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: you control the game by being down up front. You know, 452 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: if you can rush the pastor if you can stop 453 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: the run, if you can run the ball and throw 454 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: the ball, you're giving both sides of the ball a 455 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: real chance. So I don't think you ever I can 456 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: sit there and say, you know what we've we've we did. 457 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: We were aggressive, We signed class and and added Derek 458 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: and brought back Jelly and you know, so there's some 459 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: depth there and there's some some new players, some new talent. 460 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: But you never want to just say you know what 461 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: we've addressed in free agency. Let's take a different position, 462 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: because man you could end up looking at a really 463 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: good player and walk and pass him. You don't want 464 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: to put yourself in that situation mhm, speaking of a 465 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: position that you don't you don't necessarily need, but you 466 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: could find yourself in the best player available situation is 467 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: running back and your guy. Jeremiah has talked about this, 468 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: UH for a couple of months now, the plot about 469 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: the possibility of adding DeAndre Swift in the first round. 470 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: So just broadly, what is your evaluation of DeAndre Swift 471 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: and what kind of impact do you think he could 472 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: make for a team. I think he'll be a good 473 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: football player for whoever dressed him. He's athletic, personal, he 474 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: runs the ball very well. He's got quickness, balance, all 475 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: the you know, speed, um, good vision, um, you know 476 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: pretty you know. Not a big, huge, heavy power back, 477 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: but he's got good strength. He can break to act least, 478 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: he's got, you know, the balance in the base when 479 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: he's running inside. Certainly get to the edge. And he's 480 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: he's a really good receiver. I mean, that's one of 481 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: the things he does really well as reutability in his hands. 482 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: He can catch us the ball well and you can 483 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: do something with it. Afterwards. All right, Joe, we gotta 484 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: talk about the background here because, uh your background. And 485 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: when we left the facility and they closed things down 486 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: because of COVID nineteen.

I won't name names, uh, 510 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: but it was people concerned, you know, you know about 511 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: not being in the building and we're not allowed in 512 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: the building, and certainly I'm fully aware of that. Um 513 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: but the someone saw me and they're like, Joe, what 514 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: are you doing at the facility?

And somebody, oh, you cannot be in there. 522 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: You what are you doing? You can't?

It was good enough to 527 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: trick people because these boxes are you know, on the 528 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: screen are so small, so you know, the depth perception 529 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: made but a little bit off. But it worked. But 530 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: it was fun too. It's fun. Guys are dropping some 531 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: different backgrounds on the on the zoom camera so uh, 532 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: some unique ones at times. Wait was it Nick Matdio 533 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: or Dick cass Um Again, I'm not gonna so that. 534 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: Maybe it did raise a flag, but it was quickly squashed. Eric, Eric, 535 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: did you guys? He's not there, he's messing around the background. Alright. 536 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: We always like, we always like to do the game 537 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: Joe where we give you some random names. Uh, you 538 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: tell us who they are, what position they play? Okay, 539 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: all right, so we've done this for several years. We 540 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: never tell you the names in advance. Um, so let's 541 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: start with this one. Blake Ferguson Blake first, and he's 542 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: a long snapper from l s U. How long stapper? 543 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: How do you know how long snappers? I mean? So 544 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: all right, so like long snappers just you know, you 545 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: kind of identify who the guys are. With NFL count 546 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of them every year, but you know, Blake, 547 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: he certainly he went to the combine and he was 548 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: at the senior pool, I believe, so, like, you know, 549 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: he's one of the good ones you know out there, 550 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: um national champion come one?

Never. Is that because you hate L s U. 555 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: It's not because I hate L s U. It's not. 556 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: And you know it's funny because I'll share this story. 557 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm close with their trainer down there, Jack Marucci, who 558 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: also owns Ruchie acts right and uh and so or 559 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: he's the founder of the Murchie Back Company, I should say, 560 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: and um, so we always talked about baseball when I 561 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 1: go in there, and we have great conversations about his company, 562 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: and he's great on all the players. But I'm in 563 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: there one year in August and he's and he looks 564 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: and he's like, why do you even come You never 565 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: draft any of our parers.

Some 696 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: stuff from Joe is always Garrett, do you have any 697 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: more confidence in your mock draft pick? I, well, I've 698 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: I have a percent confidence as always, so it's I 699 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 1: had that already. So now, just hearing from Joe, I guess, 700 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's solidified some things, but it doesn't 701 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: mean that it's any higher. I already felt great about 702 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: this is the season? Question? Is the season? When you 703 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: try to get in my head, that's what you feel 704 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: any worse about your mock because that is really what's 705 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: more likely to have happened. Well, mine's still not finalized, 706 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: so so you know, I don't know. This is this 707 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: is your game you try to get I told you 708 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: who my pick was, and we shot a video in 709 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: which I said my pick. What we all know, the 710 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: pick is an official until I put it in a 711 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: written around mock, that's the official. So I did want 712 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: the video. We'll see if I stick with that, and 713 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: you owe terrible pick that's definitely not gonna be picked. Awful, 714 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: just not even a good player. But you try to 715 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: get in my head. And the saddest part is it's successful. 716 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: Well here, here's what's gonna happen. Is you're gonna do 717 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 1: you picked one player for that video who I'll just 718 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: say it was a Javanessa. Then you're gonna pick up 719 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: player on the podcast. Then you're gonna pick another player 720 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: in the written mock draft, and you're gonna claim all three. Sure, 721 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen. And then and then in the 722 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: in the podcast, is Zack Baon in the podcast? No, 723 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: no sorry? In the podcast is Kenneth Murray. Podcast is 724 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: Kenneth Murray? He slips dream scenario comes through, Get Kenneth Murray. 725 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 1: And then maybe in my written I'll go Zack b Yeah, 726 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: it's because you're not a man of integrity and you 727 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: have no confidence and you don't know what you're doing, 728 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: so you just still had a bunch of names. That's 729 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: the reason. That's the reason. So our next, my face, hey, 730 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: our next, our next podcast is going to be the 731 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: full seven round mock Draft and that's coming out on Wednesday, 732 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: So we want to hear from you guys.
