Joining us 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: for NIFL network. The One and Only Daniel Jeremiah. Daniel, 9 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: what's going on, man? How are you? I'm doing great. 10 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 1: Great to see you. Yeah, absolutely, always good to talk 11 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: to you around this time of year. We usually talk 12 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: about the Giants picks in the top ten, but no 13 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: pick in the twenty. So we'll get to that. Second. 14 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Let's do team building first. I know you love to 15 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: kind of figure out how you build successful teams in 16 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: the NFL. Giants big decisions in fre agency this year, 17 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, the big one. If you were Joe Shane 18 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: put his GM hat on, how would you like to 19 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: structure that in terms of setting up the Giants for 20 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: success long term? Well? I agree with Joe in terms 21 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a priority try and get 22 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: something done with Daniel. I think you feel a little 23 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: bit more comfortable on the shorter end in terms of 24 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: the length of the deal, just to give him more 25 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: time to camera prove himself. And he's coming off a 26 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: really solid year. You want to see is this, you know, 27 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: going to continue to trend in the right direction. So 28 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a long term commitment. I think 29 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: you have the luxury of the franchise tag there as 30 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: as kind of your leverage point to see, Okay, where 31 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: are you comfortable and you know it's a two or 32 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: three year commitment at a number that you feel good about, 33 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: and if if you don't feel great about you know, 34 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: the number, or it gets pushed up too high, you 35 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: always have to fall back on that on that tag, 36 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: which then brings you to the next point of business, 37 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 1: which is then try and get something done with se Quon, 38 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: you know. And again I think that's another one where 39 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: because of the position you're talking about, hopefully you know 40 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: a two or a three year guarantee. Yeah, we know 41 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: when you evaluate quarterbacks how tough it is, right, And 42 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: I think we saw Daniel do a lot with not 43 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: a whole lot right, he was efficient, but still the 44 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: overall production numbers at least in the passing him. His 45 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: rushing game was fantastic. You know, it's not in that 46 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: elite category yet. So if you do go either a 47 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: one year tag or a short term deal, then does 48 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: it become mission one, two, and three to getting more 49 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: around them, to see what he can do with more. 50 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: They've got to get faster, you know, they've got to 51 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: get more weapons, and they've got to get guys that 52 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: can run and make plays down the field because you know, 53 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: when you have to play you know, station to station baseball, 54 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: so to speak, and you don't have people that scare 55 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: anybody else to open up the rest of the field, 56 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: it makes it really tough to play that position. So 57 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: I gave him a lot of credit for their ability 58 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: to move the football and score points as they have 59 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: because they just don't have any any speed. They need 60 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: some juice. Yeah, absolutely, undred percent. You mentioned Sa Kuan. 61 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: Let's hit him real quick. Then we'll get to the 62 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: draft here. What do you think the market's going to 63 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: be like for him? It's such a deep free agent 64 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: running back class. It's such a deep running back class 65 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: in the draft. Josh Jacobs, Miles Sanders, then you get 66 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: the Began Robinson and Jimmer Games. I mean, there's so 67 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: many good players out there. I mean, is it even 68 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: if they have to franchise Jones and he hits the market. 69 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: I sense the Giants might be able to get him on. 70 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: Maybe team friendly is a little strong, but on a 71 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: reasonable deal just based on the depth of the market. Right. 72 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's a really good draft group. 73 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: You mentioned all the names and free agency, it's just 74 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: it's the market's flooded. So I think that does help 75 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: you in terms of trying to get a long term 76 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: deal done there. And I think you can be patient 77 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: and you can set a firm price that you feel 78 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: good about, and you know, in worst case scenario, you 79 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: don't want to lose him. He's been a great player, 80 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: but you could replace him very cheaply. Yeah. All right, 81 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: So now let's get to the draft. Here. The Giants 82 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: are interesting. They picked Wanda Robinson in the second round 83 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: last year. I think it's safe to say he's a 84 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: slot only Yea, all right, He's fine, ninety slot only. 85 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: So then you look at the Giants here at twenty five, 86 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: let's put Quentin Johnson aside his obviously he's an outside guy. 87 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: Then you get to the Jackson Smith and Jigbez does 88 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: a Flowers, the Jordan Addison's I'll go to Josh Downs. 89 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: Even which one of these guys do you think is 90 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: most adept In has the most capabilities of moving outside 91 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: to compliment a guy like Robinson, even a guy like 92 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins. I like Addison, you know, I think Addison 93 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: could play outside. I think you play inside. You can 94 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: do whatever you want him to do. He's not the 95 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: biggest guy in the world, but he creates a ton 96 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: of separation. He's a polisher, route runner, He's got outstanding hands. 97 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: So to me, I think he's the most skilled of 98 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: these wideouts. And I think he'd be a great fit 99 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: with the you know, with Daniels, he's trying to continue 100 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: to grow and emerge and evolve as a player. I 101 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: think he'd be a good compliment to Wandale. So you know, 102 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: ideally you want to find another bigger body to put 103 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: out there at some point in time. But to me, 104 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: separation and speed and quickness has got to be the 105 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: top of the list. And how about Smith and Jigbo 106 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: Because obviously when he was with Ohio State. Last year 107 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: he was with Chris Olave Garrett Wilson. He was their 108 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: slot guy. How do you think he projects potentially to 109 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: being an outside receiver. I like him better in the slot. 110 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: I think that's his home. I think that's kind of 111 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: where he is. Is nothing to be ashamed of there. 112 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: I think he can be a high volume guy in there. 113 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: But in terms of you know, fitting, I think he's 114 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: more of a duplicate of what you have there and 115 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: maybe a better version. But with you, I think they 116 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: need to find someone in the outside they can go. 117 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: How about the concept if you don't like the wide 118 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: receivers that are left to twenty five? Addison's gone, Johnson's gone, 119 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: and you're kind of sitting there like, I don't love 120 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: these guys. I'd much prefer to wait, yeah, would you 121 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: consider going tight end in that spot? Consider? But then 122 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: I think, all right, yeah, yeah, these are really good players. 123 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: But du Kafkin Dabi want to play twelve personnel, right. 124 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: They both come from systems where they were eleven all day. 125 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: So how would you take that option into consideration? Well, 126 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: I still think you're looking for weapons. I think you 127 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: can be flexible and if you feel like this is 128 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: somebody that can get open and make plays um and 129 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: the value is there. There's just a better football player 130 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: than a wide out. I think you can you can 131 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: navigate around that. And you know some of these guys 132 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: like you take you take Dalton kin Cage. These guys 133 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: are big slots too. I mean like you can just 134 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: flex him out there and let him run wide receiver routes. 135 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: You see it with Kelsey, you know every week when 136 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: you watch the Chiefs how they use him. So I 137 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: think this year, because the receiver groups down, I think 138 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: the tight ends, You've got to think of tight ends, 139 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: and even I would throw into there some of these 140 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: backs that can really catch out of the backfield, like 141 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: Jamir Gibbs, Kenny McIntosh. You gotta look at weapons. You know, 142 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: we're just trying to add more firepower, more offensive weapons 143 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: this year and not get too hung up on receiver, 144 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: tight end or running back. Have you heard Kincaide's gonna 145 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: work out because I know he was. Yeah, he had 146 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: a little small fracture in his back, I believe. So 147 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be able to do anything. I don't 148 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: know how much he'll be able to do even going 149 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: through the spring. But I think he's one of the 150 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: best players in the draft. If he's unbelievable on his 151 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: runing's unbelivable, unbelievable, he gets so much separation and then 152 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: after the catch, he's so competitive. So he's a great, 153 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: great talent, you know. I hopefully he comes to this 154 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: medical stuff. Okay, he's another one. He's a little bit older, 155 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: which we have a few of those guys in this draft, 156 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: so um, you know, hopefully he navigates through this process, 157 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: comes out with a clean bill of health. I think 158 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: it'll be a great pro all right. We talked about 159 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: weapons around Daniel. I think you want to protection around 160 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: him a little bit better too. Right, you have Andrew 161 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: Thomas on the left side. He's developed into an excellent player. 162 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: Evan Neil rough first year. But I think you hope 163 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: he improves. He's gonna be there print right, Absolutely, He's 164 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: gonna sit there. He's gonna be your guy. And I 165 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: think he has the tools obviously where you think he's 166 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: gonna succeed Inside do you think round one's a little 167 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: rich for that? Where do you think the sweet spot 168 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: is if you're trying to find a guard or a 169 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: center on this draft, well, I think there. I think 170 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: there's not many of them. I think there's a good 171 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: clump of four or five guys, and I think you're 172 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: gonna see one or two of them go late first round, 173 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: and you're gonna see the rest of him go early 174 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: in the second round, and I think there runs over. 175 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: So okay, you know, I almost feel like there's some 176 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: urgency there. If you want to take one of those guys, 177 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: maybe you trade back a little bit. Who the guys 178 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: you like there. So the handful of guys you're looking 179 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: at Osyrus Torrence from Florida, who's just a big, powerful guy. 180 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: Um a Vila, stevea Vila from TCU can really move. 181 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: You've got the two centers in Tipman from Wisconsin. You've 182 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: got John Michael Schmidts from Minnesota that group, and then 183 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: I would put Cody Mauk from from North Dakota State 184 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: who can play all five positions. I think all those 185 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: guys are gonna go. I'll be surprised if any of 186 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: those guys are around after the fortieth pick. Interesting, Wow, 187 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: they will go quick. Then. So as you move ahead 188 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: here in the Giants and you're trying to build out 189 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: this offense. You mentioned the weapons, you mentioned inside. What 190 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: are some of the things that you think Daniel needs 191 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: to do better to kind of take that next step 192 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: once he gets some more guys around him. Well, you know, 193 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: I think that be out of survival he's had. He's had, 194 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: He's had to get out of there earlier than maybe 195 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: he would like to. But I think it's just being 196 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: a little more comfortable to be able to sit and 197 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: hang in the pocket and be able to work deeper 198 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: through progressions and make some more plays there. But again, 199 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: I can't fault him because he just hasn't He hasn't 200 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: had guys that could cover, and then he's had some 201 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: some leaky protection, particularly off the right side. So um, 202 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: he's kind of has done what he's had to do. 203 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: I think once you get those other pieces in place, 204 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: then you can ask more of him in terms of that. 205 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: All right, let's jump to defense. If the Giants want 206 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: to kind of smooth that position out a little bit, 207 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: could be a huge cornerback first round six seven guys 208 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: maybe started this way. Who should the Giant fan? Who 209 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: should Giant fans not even consider that? Oh yeah, maybe 210 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: this guy will get the twenty five Who who's gone. Yeah, 211 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: I think that the three guys I think will be gone. 212 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: I think that the two big guys in Gonzalez and 213 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: Porter will be gone. I'm a Witherspoon fan from Illinois. 214 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: I love his game. He's gonna be gone. He had 215 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: that play early in the year when he read that 216 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: one those screencast and he came back and he's got 217 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: great ball skills too. So I think all three of 218 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: those guys are probably gone. You know the name that 219 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: I would keep an eye on that's that's kind of 220 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: emerging through this process is a good player. It's Deontay 221 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: Banks from Maryland's big, he can run. You know, Ringo 222 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: from George as a polarising player, but there's a lot 223 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: of ability there. Another heightweight, speed guy. Um, So those 224 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: are kind of the guys I think that'll be in 225 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: that that next wave of corners. Who are some of 226 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: the guys that you think fits the Wink scheme, even 227 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: if not early, maybe a little bit later. Long can 228 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: play press man and kind of deal with all his flitzing. Yeah, 229 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean I would go back to Banks. I think 230 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: Banks kind of fits that long and physical and really 231 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: Ringo can do a lot of that stuff. Too. He's 232 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: a pure press man corner. So both those guys to 233 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: me make a ton of sense. Middle linebacker another spot 234 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: where the Giants they basically picked Draw Davis off the 235 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: lines practice squad. In week seventeen, he was starting the 236 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: playoff game for them, So I think it kind of 237 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: tells you where they're at in terms of middle linebacker, right, 238 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: Is there a middle linebacker that's gonna go in the 239 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: first round? Is Sander's gonna make it as trend Simpson's 240 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: gonna make it? Or you think that's a little bit 241 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: of a you know, I'm beginning to think that doesn't happen. 242 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: You know, one name to keep an eye on this 243 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: week is Jack Campbell from Iowa, who's gonna be big. 244 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna run fast like big big like six four 245 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: and can run. So that's one to keep an eye on. 246 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: But I you know, I don't. I don't think it's 247 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: a great year for off the ball linebacker. It's just 248 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: some interesting names to me, Like a guy that's not 249 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: even here at the comm buying like Marte Mapoo is 250 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: a fun one who's kind of the modern day linebacker 251 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: where he's around two hundred and twenty pounds, but he's 252 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: six two and change, he's long, he can cover. Um. Like, 253 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: I'd rather take one of those guys, a guy like him, 254 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: in the third round than to spend a late first 255 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: round pick on some of these other ones. Linebacker uses 256 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: is interesting to me, Daniel, because yeah, like you said, 257 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: you want someone that can running, cover, carry a tight end. 258 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: But if you structure your defense properly and you just 259 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: want to blitz your guys, yeah, that kind of almost 260 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: makes it a little bit easier. Right where you're sending 261 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: the guy, you don't have to worry about the coverage aspect. 262 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: You're in third down, you put four safeties on the 263 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: field linebackers, right, So how do you view that position 264 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: kind of heading when it comes to building your roster 265 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: In the NFL, it's not one. I mean there are 266 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: exceptions you've seen. You know, the Ravens trade for for 267 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: roal Kalon Smith. They paid him. Fred Warners an exception. Warner. 268 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: You look at uh, you know, Darius Leonard, who what's 269 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: his he's his new name? I always forget if Oh, yeah, 270 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: Shack Leonard, Thank you, Shack Leonard. But there's a lot 271 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: of teams that just aren't going to do it. You know, 272 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: I call the Charger games and they went out in 273 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: draft Kaisier White in the fourth round. Plays really good 274 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: for him. Let him walk. They had replaced him with 275 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: Drew Tranquil, who they took in the fourth round. I'm 276 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: sure they'll probably let him walk this year. And these 277 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: guys are good football players, but you feel like you 278 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: can find them in the middle rounds. You know, the 279 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: Eagles got I thought was a fantastic player out of 280 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: Georgia last year in the in the third round. They 281 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: got Nakobe Dean in the third round. So I don't 282 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: think there's quite as quite the emphasis on off the 283 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: ball linebackers with most teams. I want to ask about 284 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: running back because I guess as an off chance seque 285 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: doesn't come back right. How deep are you looking? Here? 286 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: Are you looking for? You look at fourth round you 287 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: can get a guy that you feel pretty good about 288 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: playing at least half your snaps double digits. I mean, 289 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: I think there's double digit guys that can play that 290 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: have a chance to be starting running backs. So it's 291 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: a really deep group and you can find them all 292 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: throughout this draft. And again that's why it's it's gonna 293 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: be fascinating to see the marriage between free agency and 294 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: the draft and the impact that it has, and uh, 295 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: you know, you got to keep that in mind. And 296 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: no Giant fans. You appreciate sa Quan and how great 297 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: he is, and I'd want him back too. I would, 298 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: but for some reason it doesn't happen. It's the sky 299 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: is not falling. There are a lot of options. Final question, 300 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: what's the first big domino league wide that falls. Is 301 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: it Derek Carr? Is it Aaron Rodgers? It's something that 302 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: nobody's thinking about. I think I think Aaron Rodgers. I 303 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: think everything's been held up right now by Aaron Rodgers. 304 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: You know, once he decides whether or not he wants 305 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: to a play or be stay in Green Bay, then 306 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: I think soon thereafter the car decision gets made and 307 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: off we go.
