Speaker 1: Welcome into the Audi Performance studio. Here at one Jets
Speaker 1: Drive Eric Allen with Brian Baldinger and Lejay DuSable. It
Speaker 1: is time for a moment that fans circle on their.
Speaker 2: Track.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and this is gonna be an extended version.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the Jets attempt. That's where we're
Speaker 1: gonna go. But before that, we got to tackle the
Speaker 1: landscape before the Green and Wires schedule to select. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's start with Chicago one. We're gonna alternate picks. Okay, dudes,
Speaker 1: you will make the first selection. Is this opening door,
Speaker 1: shut case? I mean this, this is done.
Speaker 3: This is Caleb, this is done.
Speaker 2: The consistence has been Caleb Williams, I would say for
Speaker 2: two years probably uh to me, the most electric quarterback. Now,
Speaker 2: I think you'll talk about a quarterback next Jane Daniels
Speaker 2: to me, who is probably the most dynamic. But you're
Speaker 2: talking about just electric, electric energy. A guy that can
Speaker 2: throw off platform the wild plays. That's what Caleb Williams has.
Speaker 2: And when you watch film Baldi, he can throw in
Speaker 2: time right, you see it on table. I think that's
Speaker 2: Any time I talked to scouts, they want to see
Speaker 2: if a guy can do it because if you can
Speaker 2: see him do it once, that means he could do
Speaker 2: it more than one time. So a lot of people
Speaker 2: always wondered can he live within the structure of the offense.
Speaker 2: He's shown at USC he can do that. And then
Speaker 2: another thing about him, he can lead a team because
Speaker 2: he had no help on.
Speaker 3: That defense side of the ball.
Speaker 2: He literally had to put up fifty burgers for them
Speaker 2: to win. So you got a guy that is used
Speaker 2: to the pressure, right, the pressure mounting. Now people will
Speaker 2: say that know the Dame game, right, he was probably
Speaker 2: pressing a little bit too much because he knew what
Speaker 2: the way his defense plays. He's got to keep score
Speaker 2: for scoring with teams. But to me, he is the
Speaker 2: number one consistent player. Consistent player for the draft and
Speaker 2: if you're the Chicago Bears, you finally get your quarterback
Speaker 2: in the future. Because I actually had this conversation with
Speaker 2: a few people the other day, Baldy, when you look
Speaker 2: at the Chicago Bears in totality, who would you say
Speaker 2: is their best quarterback of all time? You probably get
Speaker 2: three or four different names, right, Ja cob took him
Speaker 2: to a color right, So like maybe Caleb Williams can
Speaker 2: finally be that guy that bever fast and say this
Speaker 2: is our best quarterback.
Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be justin fields, but
Speaker 3: you know, justin field. I mean, it just made sense
Speaker 3: to reset, you know, the economically right here, Yeah, all right,
Speaker 3: just start fresh with a rookie quarterback on a rookie deal.
Speaker 3: And look, I've known Caleb since he was in high
Speaker 3: school coming out of Maryland, and he was already an
Speaker 3: advanced student. He understood the game, you know, how to
Speaker 3: attack coverages. And then when you saw him throw it
Speaker 3: when he was in high school, Jay like, this guy
Speaker 3: had an NFL arm when he was in high school,
Speaker 3: and know he did under Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma at
Speaker 3: USC was just perfect that And so I think Chicago's
Speaker 3: in good shape. I think they feel very confident, and
Speaker 3: they've done a good job of building around him. I
Speaker 3: don't know that any former number one pick, whether it's
Speaker 3: Burrow or Trevor Lawrence or Bryce Younger go back that
Speaker 3: a quarterback chosen number one is going to step into
Speaker 3: a better situation.
Speaker 1: Am I overthinking things by saying, hey, I have any
Speaker 1: concerns about what he can do within the structure of
Speaker 1: the offense. Because he was asked to do so much
Speaker 1: on his own. Did he did bad habits develop over time?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think some of the things
Speaker 2: that we talked about body is because he was pressing
Speaker 2: so much right, and I talked about it earlier. We
Speaker 2: can talk about living within the structure of the offense.
Speaker 2: You see him throwing timing, so you can see it
Speaker 2: on film. It's not like we never saw it on film.
Speaker 2: Maybe that one thing you could question if you didn't
Speaker 2: see it on film. But if you see it, that
Speaker 2: means you could coach him and do it more consistently.
Speaker 2: And I think that's the thing with Kayle Wims. You've
Speaker 2: seen him live in the structure of the offense.
Speaker 3: He can do it.
Speaker 2: But when everything breaks down, you know you have a
Speaker 2: player that can make plays that are not scripted out
Speaker 2: right on the tape. Go make a play for us.
Speaker 2: He can go do that.
Speaker 1: Faldy, you are the commander of Washington now number two
Speaker 1: overall selection. They're probably going to go a quarterback here
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: I mean he took their starting quarterback for the last
Speaker 3: eighteen games, Sam Howell, and they shipped him off to Seattle,
Speaker 3: so they need a quarterback dan Quinn comes in. Why
Speaker 3: not unite with the quarterback and start to rebuilding that
Speaker 3: organization from the scratch. And I don't know if Lejay,
Speaker 3: if people even realize or remember that Jayden Daniels he
Speaker 3: did win the Heisman Trophy. Forgot when you watch him,
Speaker 3: he's just such a dynamic player. I mean his running
Speaker 3: ability now, I think, you know, he's got to protect
Speaker 3: himself better than what he showed in some games, especially
Speaker 3: like that Alabama game. They were planning him. But the
Speaker 3: talent is just it's not even wrang. It's been developed.
Speaker 3: He transferred from Arizona State. The last two years, he's
Speaker 3: been dynamic, and you know, I just think when you
Speaker 3: look at the pure talent, uh, you can't go wrong here.
Speaker 3: Can you can start with Jayden? He can start. They've
Speaker 3: really addressed the offensive line, starting with Taylor beyondage. A
Speaker 3: lot of guys are Tyler beyondage, a lot of guys
Speaker 3: in free agency. I think building that offensive line to
Speaker 3: try to protect him. I think they've got good receivers
Speaker 3: there in Washington. I think he's got a chance to
Speaker 3: have some success right Awa.
Speaker 1: So, Baldy Daniels here, do you like the Lamar Jackson comparisons.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good company.
Speaker 2: You talk about the explosive ability in him running, you
Speaker 2: talk about body, but to me, Jaden Daniels has the
Speaker 2: commons feet in the pocket out of all these quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's talked about enough because he is
Speaker 2: so explosive and dynamic with the football in his hands
Speaker 2: when you watch his footwork in the pocket. And we
Speaker 2: go back to last year when people were so enamored
Speaker 2: with Bryce Young what he could do off platform, but
Speaker 2: it was c J. Stroud and doing the boring fundamental
Speaker 2: things which really helped him and elevated him this year,
Speaker 2: that's what Jaden Daniels does. Jesse he had two really
Speaker 2: good receivers, but when you just saw him and the
Speaker 2: way he's able to maneuver in the pocket his footwork.
Speaker 2: I think Caleb Williams has the best pocket presence, but
Speaker 2: as far as just like best footwork, to me, it's
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels and I don't think that gets talked about enough.
Speaker 1: I think New England is in a very interesting spot.
Speaker 1: They have a new head coach, Rod Male, they have
Speaker 1: a roster that is in transition. They signed Jacoby Brissetton.
Speaker 1: Do they go quarterback? Here?
Speaker 2: Donana on the phone the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to the New.
Speaker 2: England Patriots, and they are drafting Drake Main. When you
Speaker 2: look at New England, I think they're comfortable with Jacobe
Speaker 2: Brissett as their starter for right now, a bridge quarterback starter.
Speaker 2: He's proven that he can be a starter in this
Speaker 2: league and keep you in games.
Speaker 3: I think there's just too.
Speaker 2: Many holes on this roster right now, Baldy. Why not
Speaker 2: gain some draft capital and trade back right and really
Speaker 2: develop this roster the right way. Potentially take a swing
Speaker 2: at a quarterback in the second round, say he Bo
Speaker 2: Nicks or Spenser Rattler is still there. I think that's
Speaker 2: something that the New England Patriots will do. And if
Speaker 2: you look at the Minnesota Vikings, they trained up to
Speaker 2: get their quarterback of the future. And even though Drake
Speaker 2: May is going to be the quarterback that I think
Speaker 2: they take at three overall, I think because you took
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, he could start in the beginning of the
Speaker 2: year and be a bridge quarterback. That way, you don't
Speaker 2: have to force Drake May out there, because I believe
Speaker 2: Drake May needs a developmental year.
Speaker 3: Well, the quarterback coach for the Minnesota Vikings just happens
Speaker 3: to be Josh McCown. He only drove to work every
Speaker 3: day with Sam Arnold when he was they were both
Speaker 3: here with the Jets, and he coached Drake May in
Speaker 3: high school in Charlotte. Like there is a real You
Speaker 3: can already feel like there's a connection there with Minnesota
Speaker 3: to Drake May, and so I think Sam will get
Speaker 3: Like Sam just left the place in San Francisco where
Speaker 3: he actually saw stability. What that looks like, what that
Speaker 3: feels like. He has a chance to succeed Minnesota. They've
Speaker 3: obviously got the receivers and tight end there and a
Speaker 3: pretty good offensive line. But I just think there's a
Speaker 3: great situation for Drake. He does not have to be
Speaker 3: forced in there. Kevin McCarthy has shown that he knows
Speaker 3: how to work with quarterbacks. Josh McCown is there. They
Speaker 3: can bring him along as slowly as he needs to,
Speaker 3: depending on how Sam plays.
Speaker 1: Arizona has the fourth overall selection. Do they need a weapon?
Speaker 3: Tom could be like somebody beside handing it off to
Speaker 3: James Connor. I mean, honestly, like Hollywood Brown is gone.
Speaker 3: It's gone, Like they need the next Larry Fitzgerald, you know,
Speaker 3: and look, Marvin Harrison has been that for three years
Speaker 3: at Ohio State. They need somebody like the tight end
Speaker 3: really developed last year with Kyler when he came in.
Speaker 3: Kyler played pretty well, but he needs somebody to throw
Speaker 3: it to on the outside. And I just think Marvin
Speaker 3: Harrison is sitting there. He's got no holes in his game.
Speaker 3: He has been an elite prospect since Garrett Wilson was
Speaker 3: there and everybody was watching him as a freshman at
Speaker 3: Ohio State. I just think you can plug and play
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison and they upgrade that position a position of
Speaker 3: real need as they begin to build this roster to
Speaker 3: become more competitive in the NC West.
Speaker 1: You already had a trade for us in round one.
Speaker 1: What are the Chargers do here at five?
Speaker 3: Because they have.
Speaker 1: A new program under Jim Harbaugh. He wants to win
Speaker 1: inside the trunches all He loves that attitude. Do they
Speaker 1: go offensive lineman, do you go receiver here? Do we
Speaker 1: see us a start a run on receivers? Or perhaps
Speaker 1: they trade out.
Speaker 2: This is an interesting scenario for the Charges, right because
Speaker 2: they could trade back and get some more draft capital.
Speaker 2: Because we know they've been in cat purgatory right so
Speaker 2: they need cheap labor right now. So they could trade
Speaker 2: back and get some young players. But you heard Jim
Speaker 2: Halball talk, you know, at the owners of meaning talking
Speaker 2: about building things in their trenches. The only thing is
Speaker 2: they have one of the best left tackles in Slater.
Speaker 2: If you take Joe Alt, do you know he's gonna
Speaker 2: be able to make that transition. It's not an easy
Speaker 2: transition from left to right or from right to left.
Speaker 2: To me, they need a playmaker on the outside. They
Speaker 2: took Quinn Johnson last year in the first round, but
Speaker 2: Moleague neighbors with the start and stop ability, the acceleration,
Speaker 2: he is a big time playmaker. He literally could take
Speaker 2: a curl route seventy yards Baldy. You see it on
Speaker 2: film all the time. He'll take a curve out in
Speaker 2: the middle of the field and just leave the rest
Speaker 2: of the defense for fifty or sixty yards. So, yes,
Speaker 2: I know Jim Harball wants to build things through the trenches.
Speaker 2: He wants to run the football, play really good and
Speaker 2: aggressive defense. But yeah, justin Herbert that quarter, you need
Speaker 2: a play maker on the outside for him to go to.
Speaker 3: As much as they want to run the ball like
Speaker 3: he did in San Francisco and run all the way
Speaker 3: to a super Bowl. Colin Kaepernick and everybody that they had,
Speaker 3: like on third downs in red zone, you got to
Speaker 3: throw it, you got to throw it. And you know,
Speaker 3: they lost their tight ends. They lost two elite receiver
Speaker 3: and Allan Mike Webbs. They lost those guys, So Justin
Speaker 3: Herbert has to throw it to somebody. Josh Palmer's there,
Speaker 3: Quinton Johnson is there, but I just think you need
Speaker 3: a guy. Malik looks like you put him in the slot.
Speaker 3: You know, you go throw them a hundred targets and
Speaker 3: the offense is going to look a lot better.
Speaker 1: Paul, let's go cross down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Big Blue.
Speaker 1: The Giants they have multiple needs. I like the way
Speaker 1: their defensive line is looking after train Brian Burns, no
Speaker 1: doubt about that. But offensive line could be in play
Speaker 1: here at six or is this where we see another quarterback?
Speaker 3: Well, look, they addressed the offensive line. You can debate
Speaker 3: John Runyon Jermaine a luminar, but I think those are
Speaker 3: two starters, you know, so they you know, and then
Speaker 3: you get John Michael Schmidz and Andrew Thomas and you
Speaker 3: know guys that I think are look like their long
Speaker 3: term answers that those quicks.
Speaker 2: But do you think they could potentially move Nil inside
Speaker 2: a guard?
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think he can make I mean,
Speaker 3: you got to try to find a place for him.
Speaker 3: And sometimes when things don't work outside because their foot quickness, whatever,
Speaker 3: you put him inside and you can just cover people up.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's worth a try.
Speaker 1: Those days out there too, because they need somebody and
Speaker 1: reim At the end of the.
Speaker 3: Day, Daniel Jones is coming off a major injury. They
Speaker 3: went out and they got Drew Lock, which you can
Speaker 3: tell me all you want about Drew Lock. I've seen
Speaker 3: him start five games in three years. I don't think
Speaker 3: he's the answer. I just don't believe it. And so
Speaker 3: I think this organization, Joe Shane, Brian Dable, they did
Speaker 3: not draft Daniel Jones, and so I think it's their chance.
Speaker 3: Like they started fresh in Buffalo when they got Josh Allens,
Speaker 3: and I feel like maybe Saquan's gone, Maybe this is
Speaker 3: the time you go and get your quarterback here and
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy and whether you start them right away or
Speaker 3: you don't like build start building with your quarterback. That's
Speaker 3: what the great franchise is doing this business right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's reset this right now. No offensive lineman
Speaker 1: has been taken amongst the first six selections. We do
Speaker 1: have two receivers off the board and four quarterbacks. Number
Speaker 1: seven Tennessee got a first year head coach. Ye got
Speaker 1: his dad on staff, Bill Callahan, and it is one
Speaker 1: of the best offensive line coaches in the history of
Speaker 1: the National FOD.
Speaker 3: He was here. Yeah, a great job.
Speaker 2: When he looks like you're leading onto something right now,
Speaker 2: I actually think I would not be surprised if they
Speaker 2: moved out of here.
Speaker 1: But offensive line makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not.
Speaker 2: If Joe is there at seven, they are running his card.
Speaker 2: They like Petit Frere is a really good tackle and
Speaker 2: he's played left and right. I think you can go
Speaker 2: back to the right tackle. They swung and missed with
Speaker 2: Andre Dillard last year, so they need a left tackle
Speaker 2: to stabilize offensive line. Of Peters Kwarnsky had some medical
Speaker 2: conditions but played well when he was able to actually play,
Speaker 2: and you talked about it. Bill Callahan is in the fold.
Speaker 2: Nobody develops offensive line better than Bill Callahan. So just
Speaker 2: imagine Joe on that office line. Will Levis will be
Speaker 2: thinking the gods, he has some good protection while he
Speaker 2: could get get it to his playmakers on the outside,
Speaker 2: whether it's DeAndre Hopkins or Calvin Ridley. So I don't
Speaker 2: think they'll try to ask about I think they're running
Speaker 2: this card in. If Joe Aldis had seven.
Speaker 1: Big changes, there no King Derrick Henry in Baltimore.
Speaker 3: Now, huh yeah, but you know, Tony Pollard comes in
Speaker 3: and Jose Spears is a really good player. Tanje had
Speaker 3: a good rookie season. He was their third down back
Speaker 3: last year when they took the King off the field,
Speaker 3: he showed that he could play in his business. So
Speaker 3: they got a good one to two punch there. Bill
Speaker 3: the line right there, you got receivers on the outside,
Speaker 3: like it makes a lot of sense to just keep
Speaker 3: building that wall in front of.
Speaker 1: Him, Baldy. No defensive players have been taken at this
Speaker 1: point in Armatra. The Atlanta Falcons are up at number eight.
Speaker 1: They have a new head coach of Raheem Morris, of course,
Speaker 1: who actually started with the Jets way back when as
Speaker 1: a coaching intern back at Hofstra. They have an interesting
Speaker 1: mix of players on offensive side of the ball, skill position,
Speaker 1: talent Kirk Cousins added to the mix. But do they
Speaker 1: need more pieces defensively?
Speaker 3: They do, and this is where the first defensive player
Speaker 3: comes off the border. Like you know, you watch Dallas
Speaker 3: Turner from Alabama. He looks like a polished edge rusher
Speaker 3: that can step into this business and he can win
Speaker 3: one on ones. He's got a long arm move, he's
Speaker 3: got an exceptional power, he can bend. Like all the
Speaker 3: things you're looking for for an edge rusher to be
Speaker 3: taking this high, he has it. And it was a
Speaker 3: point last year the Jay where the Atlanta Falcons with
Speaker 3: a bunch of no name players were top ten defense.
Speaker 3: Now they slipped at the end, but they had improved
Speaker 3: a lot. And I just think, like you're looking at
Speaker 3: Raheem who comes from the Rams where they saw two
Speaker 3: young rookies and Kobe Turner and Byrony Young step in
Speaker 3: and play and learn from a guy like Aaron Donald,
Speaker 3: and they really stepped up and they really performed and
Speaker 3: they contributed a great deal Kurk to a Rams team
Speaker 3: that really, you know, was a lot better than what
Speaker 3: people thought they were going to be. I think Dallas
Speaker 3: terms is the right pick, and it'll be if he's
Speaker 3: there at eight. It would actually surprise me that they
Speaker 3: wouldn't take it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think they're gonna run that card in.
Speaker 2: You talked about some of the personnel on their defense.
Speaker 2: When you look at Arnold v Katy, he had a
Speaker 2: second year growth last year. You need somebody to pair
Speaker 2: with him to really build around his defense. They're really
Speaker 2: strong interior with David Ayamada and also Grady Jarriss, So
Speaker 2: why not add a piece to that outside, a piece
Speaker 2: that you can really build around. You talked about his
Speaker 2: long arm. It's probably the best in all this draft class,
Speaker 2: going speed to power with the long arm, and then
Speaker 2: he's athletic enough where you can drop him in coverage too.
Speaker 2: He did that at Alabama and he just destroys tight
Speaker 2: ends at the line of scrimmer.
Speaker 3: So I'm with you.
Speaker 2: If he's there, he will be the first defensive player
Speaker 2: taking in this draft.
Speaker 1: What do you make of Chicago now at number nine? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams going number one. Overall a lot of people
Speaker 1: have been pegging receiver for them. I do feel like
Speaker 1: they're better equipped at the position than people act.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, if you look at it right Ken Allen
Speaker 2: is on a one year deal, so maybe that's why
Speaker 2: they're looking at it. But DJ Moore is a true
Speaker 2: number one. He proved it last year with justin Field.
Speaker 2: He could be a number one receiver. Let's not forget
Speaker 2: co Comet is one of the young, flourishing tight ends
Speaker 2: in all the football. He got an extension there. And
Speaker 2: then they added Gerald Everett, so you would think maybe
Speaker 2: they're going a little bit more twelve personnel because Jeral
Speaker 2: Everett is a really good player as well. Now people
Speaker 2: wonder could they go offensive line here. I actually like
Speaker 2: Braxton Jones. I think he is a good development exactly.
Speaker 2: And then they took Darnell Wright at number ten overall,
Speaker 2: I think they go on the defensive side now. But
Speaker 2: this was one of the best defenses the last six
Speaker 2: weeks and the season. Matter of fact, they were the
Speaker 2: number one scoring defense the last six weeks of the season,
Speaker 2: number one over the whole season against the run, number
Speaker 2: one interceptions in the last six weeks, and number one
Speaker 2: in rushing touchdowns giving up the last six weeks.
Speaker 3: It's very good against the run.
Speaker 2: And what happened They traded for Montest Swet and he
Speaker 2: transformed that defense. Now, just imagine if we had a
Speaker 2: bookend with him. Jared Versus a guy that his whole
Speaker 2: game starts with power baldy when you see him, he's
Speaker 2: a guy and he plays extremely hard, which kind of
Speaker 2: fits into what the Chicago Bears are trying to be
Speaker 2: on defense. When you look at guys like Kyler Gordon,
Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson, Tyreek Stevens and the two linebackers they have,
Speaker 2: this is a gritty defense that gets after it. So
Speaker 2: Jared Versus makes a lot more sense to me. Let's
Speaker 2: not forget they have a defensive minded coach and Matt
Speaker 2: Eberflus right, he really wants to get that last piece
Speaker 2: to solidify this defense. I think Jared Versus is the
Speaker 2: pick up pick.
Speaker 3: What is Chicago always known for, I mean the Monsters
Speaker 3: of the Midway, all that stuff is real, Like their
Speaker 3: star players have always come on defense and Chicago Bear
Speaker 3: fans are used to seeing great defense. And that's what
Speaker 3: they turned the corner where they made this the trade
Speaker 3: for Monte Sweat. I said when they made the trade
Speaker 3: that I didn't believe there would ever be a second
Speaker 3: round pick of Monteze Sweat's value. Correct and his talent,
Speaker 3: and you can say that about almost the first round.
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy changed the defense with his length,
Speaker 3: how hard he plays, it's always more than just sacks.
Speaker 3: And so I just think you get somebody opposite him
Speaker 3: right here, and they're a front four built team. They
Speaker 3: want to play his own defense, but it starts with
Speaker 3: their four being able to affect the quarterback. That would
Speaker 3: really help.
Speaker 1: Let's go inside the Jets war rule right because number
Speaker 1: one through number nine they're off the board. Okay, so
Speaker 1: what are the Jets options? What are the conversations being
Speaker 1: had right now?
Speaker 2: Well, to me, if you look at the bord right now,
Speaker 2: Roma Dunes is there, Olu Fashionu is still there and
Speaker 2: that's literally probably where it ends. There's a conversation as well.
Speaker 2: So those three players to me positional value. I think
Speaker 2: brock Bert Bowers is a little rich. But when you
Speaker 2: look at a guy like Olu and what he could be,
Speaker 2: now if you draft him this year, is it going
Speaker 2: to be a red shirt year? But just knowing the
Speaker 2: history of Tybern Smith and Morgan Moses getting up there
Speaker 2: in age coming off a peck injury where you have surgery,
Speaker 2: is it a guy a piece that's gonna be a
Speaker 2: blue chip piece, that's gonna be your left tackle for
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen years. And then Roma Dunday, right, he's
Speaker 2: gonna be a media impact guy. And it also allows
Speaker 2: you the luxury of not forcing Mike Williams back on
Speaker 2: the field coming off a major knee injury as well.
Speaker 2: And he pair is nice for Gary Wilson. So these
Speaker 2: are the conversations we'll be having with my guy Baldy, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Part of the conversation with Jay is I feel
Speaker 3: like for the second year rowd, they're all in on
Speaker 3: this year. Correct. I think you've got to maximize Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers while Aaron Rodgers is here and we don't know
Speaker 3: how long that it's going to be. And I just
Speaker 3: think you give him as much immediate help, okay. And
Speaker 3: I think we all feel like we know Rome to
Speaker 3: the point where we know he's smart, correct, we know
Speaker 3: that he can adjust learning offense. He did that at Washington.
Speaker 3: I feel like you're going to get immediate value and well,
Speaker 3: OLU might be for the future where you go, Okay,
Speaker 3: we got our tackle of the future. Whenever Tyront and
Speaker 3: Morgan moves on or something happens. I feel like you
Speaker 3: have to think just in this moment, this is the
Speaker 3: moment right here, and I think a doomday gives you
Speaker 3: that moment.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to ask you to stay at the
Speaker 1: case for Bowers in this situation if you're in that room,
Speaker 1: because there's going to be some people probably having that
Speaker 1: belief in the jet scouting offices that hey, maybe this
Speaker 1: could be Bowers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: When you look at bruck Bauers, you can't just call
Speaker 2: him a traditional tie end, right. He's a WEAPONEX. He's
Speaker 2: an explosive weapon on offense. You can line them at
Speaker 2: the traditional y position, you can line them up in
Speaker 2: the backfield, you can line them flexed out, and this
Speaker 2: guy is just explosive.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: He's a mismatch for safeties and linebackers, but he's a
Speaker 2: blocker as well. We were talking about that earlier. Baudy,
Speaker 2: I don't think people talk about that enough. Not the
Speaker 2: biggest guy, but he will get after you like he's
Speaker 2: going to compete and give effort when it comes to blocking.
Speaker 2: And that was the one thing I really liked about
Speaker 2: his game in his development these last couple of years,
Speaker 2: because it wasn't that great his freshman year but where
Speaker 2: he is in his third year in college football, it's
Speaker 2: night and day from where it was his freshman year.
Speaker 2: So we talked about having an explosive weapon that gives
Speaker 2: you mismatches, like that's what Brock bowrus is. The only
Speaker 2: question I have is I love to just tight end him.
Speaker 2: You talk about Tyler Conklin and what he's been able
Speaker 2: to do stretching down the scene. Jeremy Rutger, I think
Speaker 2: is going to be a superstar once he transformed into
Speaker 2: tight end one. He's a complete tight end as far
Speaker 2: as he will rip your face off, but he also
Speaker 2: has the speed you saw him on Fader routes last
Speaker 2: year literally go over the top of safety. So I
Speaker 2: think he's going to be a star player on this team.
Speaker 3: And Kenny your.
Speaker 2: Bow I like as well. He's a guy that you
Speaker 2: could flex out. He's also a guy that will get
Speaker 2: after you blocking wise, and Zach Coops they took last
Speaker 2: year in the seventh round, is a tall glass of
Speaker 2: water developmental tight end, so they have a really good
Speaker 2: tight end room right now. To me, taking Brock at
Speaker 2: ten would be a luxury pick.
Speaker 3: I think. The only thing I would say in addition
Speaker 3: what you just said Lajay is it's going to force
Speaker 3: defenses to match up in a certain way that's going
Speaker 3: to work to their advantage, whether it's given it to
Speaker 3: Breese or whether it's going to be letting Aaron decide,
Speaker 3: you know where to go, Like, are they going to
Speaker 3: line up if they're in twelve personnel? Are they going
Speaker 3: to line up with base defense? Because they've got tight
Speaker 3: ends who can block, including Brock, and so you better
Speaker 3: be able to handle that with Breese in a backfield.
Speaker 3: And then the flexibility that you have with Brock Bowers
Speaker 3: to move him around to get yourself a chess piece
Speaker 3: against a linebacker or against a safety that drops down.
Speaker 3: So I just think it gives you a lot more
Speaker 3: flexibility in addition to the tight end room that's talented.
Speaker 3: I think it could give you some of that.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you both about the way these
Speaker 1: contracts are structured a free agency Tyron Smith one year deal,
Speaker 1: Morgan moses he's up at the end of this year. Also,
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, who you guys both had mentioned coming off
Speaker 1: to ACL, he's on a one year deal as well.
Speaker 1: How much does that affactor in the equation It does Okay, I'm.
Speaker 3: Doing just pushing all these chips today.
Speaker 1: It's all connected.
Speaker 3: It's all connected. I mean, there's a reason why these
Speaker 3: contracts were structured the way they were. It's all about
Speaker 3: just this season. Some teams, you know they're building that roster,
Speaker 3: you know that's going to be competitive and star studed
Speaker 3: for the next Like San Francisco they've got that roster set.
Speaker 3: But the Jets right here because of the quarterback, like,
Speaker 3: you just got to feel like it's about this year.
Speaker 3: We'll get to next year. When we get to next year, like,
Speaker 3: it's still going to be a talented roster with all
Speaker 3: the youth that they have at key positions. But I
Speaker 3: just think you just keep pushing the chips to the table.
Speaker 2: And what it also does, it gives those players incentives
Speaker 2: right to go out there and play hard because they're
Speaker 2: on one year deals to try to re up next year.
Speaker 2: When you look at a guy like Tyron Smith, if
Speaker 2: you can go out and prove it can be healthy
Speaker 2: for fifteen to six team games, that's two years of work.
Speaker 2: So and I can be healthy, I deserve a payday.
Speaker 2: Mike Williams the same with him. He's been hurt the
Speaker 2: last two years, if you can go out there and
Speaker 2: play fifteen games and be healthy and produce, he's showing
Speaker 2: other teams I can be healthy. And we haven't even
Speaker 2: talked about Hassan Reddick, who's essentially on a one year
Speaker 2: deal with the Jets, who's essentially on a revenge store
Speaker 2: because he won an extension, wasn't able to work it out, came,
Speaker 2: you know, down ninety five to the New York Jets.
Speaker 2: He's going to be motivated. So I think that's another
Speaker 2: good thing that Joe Douglas did. He got players that
Speaker 2: are motivated with these one year deals to go out
Speaker 2: there and perform.
Speaker 1: In this mock, you, gentlemen, have the Jets taking wide
Speaker 1: receiver roome A Douncy out of Washington. How does he
Speaker 1: fit this offense specifically with Garrett Wilson Williams calming off
Speaker 1: the acl but a prototypical, big time vertical threat on
Speaker 1: the outside. You also have some young guys here and
Speaker 1: Exavier Gibson, Jason Browne, and the Jets have confidence Alan
Speaker 1: Lazard is going to return to form here warn Rodgers.
Speaker 3: He's a point scorer, that's what he is like. You know,
Speaker 3: he's a guy. I think when we see a guy
Speaker 3: like Puka or Justin Jefferson or Jamar come in and
Speaker 3: like establish themselves immediately as rookies, I feel like Rome
Speaker 3: could establish himself even with the talent that's around him,
Speaker 3: Like just because of how strong his hands are, his
Speaker 3: route running, how Crispin is already, and his size, I
Speaker 3: just think that's a guy that Aaron Rodgers, the way
Speaker 3: he had that relationship with DeVante Adams, the way we
Speaker 3: felt like he had it with Garrett going into the
Speaker 3: season last year, Like, I feel like he's gonna see
Speaker 3: this guy's talent and back shoulder fade routes, like he's
Speaker 3: never gonna be covered in Aaron Rodgers's mind. And we've
Speaker 3: seen him have that success with a bunch of guys
Speaker 3: in Green Bay, and I feel like he's that type
Speaker 3: of player.
Speaker 2: And I'm so glad you brought that up in regards
Speaker 2: to him playing with talented receivers, because that's exactly what
Speaker 2: he did in Washington. Like when you look at Jalen Polk,
Speaker 2: He's going to be a second round Melon is probably
Speaker 2: gonna be a third round play. Like these are guys
Speaker 2: that are gonna go high in the draft, and Roma
Speaker 2: Doonsa had success with them. So when you talk about
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson, this will free him up in the middle
Speaker 2: of the field in regards to playing in the slot
Speaker 2: more and he won't have to worry about that safety
Speaker 2: over the top because if you leave Roma Doomsay one
Speaker 2: on one on the outside, it's lights out. You talked
Speaker 2: about the catch radius, the fade balls. When he goes
Speaker 2: up with the football and goes to catch it, it's
Speaker 2: not fifty to fifty jump ball. It's seventy thirty. Roma
Speaker 2: Doonsa is coming down with the football. So now you
Speaker 2: have him, and you have Mike Williams on the other
Speaker 2: side who can stretch the defense as well in regards
Speaker 2: to going up and getting the contested catches as well.
Speaker 2: You got two margins on the outside and one of
Speaker 2: the best young route runners and Garrett Wilson on the inside.
Speaker 2: This would be a potent offense if they were to
Speaker 2: get Roma Doonese at.
Speaker 1: Ten outstanding analysis. Gentlemen, will to see how it all
Speaker 1: plays out. A draft weekend
