WEBVTT - HR2: Values 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:03.920 At least. 0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:07.520 He's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:09.720 your twenty four to seven home of the Black and 0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:15.160 Gold Steelers Nation Radio. 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:18.119 And welcome back. I am Dale Lolly, he is the 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:22.079 Matt Williamson. And well, as we promised yesterday, we would 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.919 do a mock draft today, working off the basis that 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:29.120 we're moving forward with justin fields at the quarterback position. 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.440 How does that say not a ton? 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.960 I mean, I would put a slightly less emphasis on 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:41.239 running back, but you still need one and you're not 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:45.199 going to ignore it. Does it put a little bit 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:49.199 more emphasis on defense for you play a little lower scoring, 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.479 grind the clock a little bit, maybe a little bit, 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:55.560 you know, right, I mean, try to get teams off 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.640 the field, create turnovers, create a little more splash to 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.440 help the younger quarterback maybe a little bit, you know, 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:01.840 I mean. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:06.880 Like breaks ties that way. Yeah, I agree, and in either. 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.840 Case, so I'm open to drafting the right quarterback though 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:10.640 at the right price. 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.160 You know. We're using, of course, as we did yesterday, 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.720 the Pro Footballnetwork dot Com mock drafter, and we're picking 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.560 twenty first, as is the case here, and so we're 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:29.360 coming down to our pick here and see what happens here. 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:34.600 Guy falling right now? They shouldn't be falling. He just went, okay, yeah, 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.000 well all right. So we got trade offers, as we 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.640 usually do, three of them. Tampa Bay. Once again, we're 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.880 not interested in Tampa Bay. You're trying to trade us 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.800 your second round draft pick. No, thank you. Reject that. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.720 Philadelphia wants to give us pick thirty one, pick sixty 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.640 three and the twenty twenty six fifth round draft pick 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:56.680 for pick twenty one. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.840 Doesn't so bad. I would consider strong. Consider that, yeah, 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.960 especially if we're on the fence between. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.680 Who to take more piece more picks. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.600 Maybe we could even talk him into a fourth instead 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:07.080 of fifth. 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.760 San Francisco wants to give us forty three to ninety 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.680 nine and next year's second round draft pick. Really far, Yeah, 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.600 that's too far. We'll do that in a month. Consider 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.960 the thirty first pick. But I want to see who's available, 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:24.400 no question. So Tyler Warren who we took yesterday? There? 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:24.959 Okay? 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.040 Jaylen Walker linebacker out of Georgia. Benjamin Morrison, cornerback at 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:34.280 a Notre Dame. Derek Carmon defensive tackle from Oregon, Nickmari 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.040 safety out of South Carolina, Josh Simmons offensive tackle from 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.880 Ohio State, TYLERK. Williams defensive tackle from Ohio State, Walter 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:48.400 Nolan defensive tackle from Ole Miss. Jonas Sivenia offensive tackle 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.799 from Arizona. Jed A. Brown or Baron I should say 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.480 the safety from Texas, Mike Greene, edge rusher out of Marshall, 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.720 Trey Amos cornerback out of Ole Miss. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.120 Okay, So it brings up a little bit of a 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:06.160 different angle to me in that now it's Fields not Wilson. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.600 I think Fields is more prone to throw to the 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.200 middle of the field, less likely to. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:12.160 Throw go balls. 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.360 You know, back to our tight end conversation from last 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.680 year or from yesterday, would you be more apt to 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.800 go for Warren if you had Fields or if you 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:29.160 had Wilson? Like, is he more attractive to you one 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.680 way or the other? Not verse out of the field, 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.640 just like, would you consider a difference making tight end 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:40.320 more so gonna run more heavier personnel, maybe throw the 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.600 middle of the field more he does. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.000 I don't either. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.720 I mean, I'm just throwing it out there, and we 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.920 took him yesterday. I think you trade down. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:52.120 I think you trade down too. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.160 Yeah, and plus would be a little difference. I take 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:54.720 the same guy. 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.720 Yeah, let's see if we can counter that and get 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:58.880 something more les. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.520 I tried to get to turn the fifth in four. 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.400 So thirty one and sixty three would give us thirty one, 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:08.000 fifty two sixty three eighty three. I like that. Oh 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.400 that's the part. I'm loving that. Yeah. 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.520 Can I turnump a seventh and try to turn a 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.080 six five into a four? Always good to dump a seventh. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.359 Actually, they have picked one sixty five. I'll see if 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.400 we can get that, all right, So that would be 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.919 three picks for two. So I'm offering twenty one and 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.600 two thirty seven for thirty one, sixty three and one 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.160 sixty five instead of next year. 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:33.599 Yeah, okay, that's a lot for them to give up 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.360 in one draft, but we can always come back to 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:35.880 the next year. 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.320 Rough THREUTEAE. They accepted it all right. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.040 Great, it's a pretty far jumped down. 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.520 They came up to take Walter Nolan. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.160 Wow, pretty good group of defense tackles. Yeah, Milton Williams 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.920 a free agent. Milton Williams is a free agent. Trey 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.479 Amos just went nah, that would have been a nice market. 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.760 So he's a corner and people will be linked to 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:55.520 this Steelers a lot. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.880 Yeah, I'm going to reject both offers that we got 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.960 here because they're both trading out of the first round. 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:06.400 Guy top guys available. Derek Harmon, defensive tackle out of Oregon. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.560 I don't know if he's a first rounder. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.520 I don't either need to do more work on him. 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.520 Like I see the allure, but the little I watched. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.040 Them, I was not blown away. Nick and Maori the 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:23.200 safety out of South Carolina. I heard he's like six seven, yeah, 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.960 and he plays a slot. He does everything, he does everything. Yeah, 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.760 Xavier wats a safety at a Notre Dame. Somebody wants 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.320 to turn into a linebacker again, Like maybe maybe they 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.840 think he's a Cale Hamilton type. G Hud Campbell linebacker 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.520 out of Alabama. Harold Fannon the tight end from Bowling Green, 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.560 Shamar Stewart edge rusher out of Texas A and m 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.479 Omari and Hampton running back out of North Carolina. 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.440 I'd be more prone to do that now that we 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:48.240 have extra picks. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:53.839 Yeah, Trey Harris, wide receiver out of Ole, Miss, Xavier Rostropo, 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:59.679 wide receiver from Miami, Landon Jackson, Kenneth grant Is there 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.520 princely human ame Alynn ed Rusher, at Ole, Miss Deontay Walker, 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.560 Deane Walker, I should say Caleb Johnson. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.640 I like there's two of those noses, Walker and Grant 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.039 that are still out there. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.480 I think I'd probably go with the running back Marion Hampton. Yeah, 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.560 I think I would too. Swing for the fencer. 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.880 Yeah, I mean a home run hitter that can do 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.600 all that, just playmakers on offense. If we hadn't made 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.720 the trade, I wouldn't just because not Eve an extra 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:34.000 Day two pick, though, you can still go receiver, corner nose, yeah, 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.039 you know, and fill your needs with all you know 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:37.479 day two. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.440 But Matt, you never take running backs in the first round. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:41.400 They don't, and. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.360 Frankly, I'm mostly a believer in that, you know. I mean, 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:46.520 I think they're the cherry on top. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.040 Here's the thing. The thirty first pick in the draft 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.560 is a little essential. Is there really any difference between 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.440 taking a mari and Hampton at picked thirty one and 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.360 the Browns taking Nick Chubb with the first pick of 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.080 the second round five years ago? Zero except a fifth 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.680 year option, right, that's only a nice berg. Yeah, it's 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.800 the only difference. I think you do it Mario and Hampton. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.040 You're gonna run the ball a lot. 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.040 Yeah, and now you have three ball carriers that are 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.360 scary with fields. I mean we're talking about Field as 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:17.080 a runner now too. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:17.640 Yeah. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.600 That's and I said I was gonna be less apt 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.640 to take a running back. But he's the best player. 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.520 On the board. Yeah, all right, I'm gonna pause here 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.760 just for a minute. We're picked forty six. We have 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.240 our first pick at pick fifty two. The top guys 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.440 available Landon Jackson. I don't know if he fits the 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:41.160 defense here. Kenneth Grant is still there, very appealing. Prince 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.920 Ly you you Malaia? Yeah, I can't. That's his name, 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.280 you la? Yeah, Prince, there you go, Prince Hugh oh 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:52.040 miss arianta URSII from Minnesota, the offensive tackle, Jylen Milroe, 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:57.320 quarterback from Alabama. J T. Twamaloa uh ed rusher out 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.960 of Ohio State. Jackson Dart is there, Emery Jones, Barrett Carter, 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:07.360 Donovan Azraku the edge rusher out of BC, Isaiah Bond, 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:12.520 Kyle Knard, TJ. Sanders. There's some guys there I'm interested in. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.560 There's one guy in particular, and yeah, where did you pause? It. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.560 We're picked forty six. So the next team's up are Atlanta. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.560 Atlanta's not going to take him, Arizona. Arizona's not gonna 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.560 take the San Francisco. 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.800 I don't think he's a I mean, I don't know 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.240 how much these the software does, these sites dig into it, 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.120 but he's not a Shanahan type of player, right. 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:41.839 The Bengals they're not taken out. The Seahawks, they absolutely 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.640 they could Denver they're not taking. So we roll the dice. 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.920 Yeah, because I think if you lose and to end 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:55.080 up with Grant, I'm happy. Yeah. The receiver from Texas 0:08:55.120 --> 0:09:00.760 Golden that we discussed and almost took yesterday, but we 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.320 took Grant because they both shouldn't have been there. I 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:05.959 assume he's still available. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.280 For somebody else out there that I'm interested in too. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.040 Andrew mccoub mccoub by the safety. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.880 From Texas, Okay, yeah, yeah, he makes a lot of 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.960 place a slot. Yeah, that's he's just a good football player. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.040 I'm not saying he's Branch, but he kind of has 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:19.439 that profile to him. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.680 I think he just wait, Okay, I'm with you. 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.160 I mean there's enough names there that I you know. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:25.839 Another guy that I would have been interested in was 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.640 t J. Sanders. He just went Jaylen Milroe goes to 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:29.240 the Seahawks. 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.000 Nah one pick, and maybe in the real world we 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:33.720 would have bumped over those guys. 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.679 Maybe you know, now Seattle wants to make a trade 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.240 with us, No, thank you, guys, unless you want to 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.400 give you know, if you want to give. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.680 Us Milroe, give us Gino. We already got fields. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.840 Yeah, yeah, I'm not interested. That's okay. So Landon Jackson 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.120 is still there, Kenneth Grant still there. It's a nice 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:54.040 consolation price. 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:58.680 That's absolutely fine. What's the best receiver or corner I 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.000 guess we picked sort of soon though. 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.640 Yeah, we have picks now at sixty three and eighty 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.520 sixty three, eighty three coming up. Just grab because he's 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:07.800 the best player on the field. He is the best 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.679 player available. Yeah, looking here at wide receiver, you got 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:16.240 Matthew Golden, Jayden Higgins, Jalen Royals, Ricky White, Torry Holton. 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:17.280 There's some guys there, I. 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.880 Think, Yeah, they'll be there are ten picks from now 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:19.240 or whatever. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:26.760 Defensively, cornerback, you're looking at Darien Porter from Iowa State.

I've got pushed around a little bit 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.400 in the more than a little bit in the game. 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.400 Not gonna happen with Kenneth Grant on the field. 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.439 It's the conference or division you play in. Yeah, the 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.760 need of the D line. I think it's better for 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:26.400 Benton too. 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:32.480 Okay, Denzel Burke just went okay, we're up again, and 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.280 New England is calling their offering pick sixty eight and 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.640 next year's fourth for pick sixty three and two forty six. Yeh, 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.160 that's fine. Fourth is okay, but bad. I like future 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:49.040 some bad teams. Yeah, but I'm going to reject all that. 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.120 We're going to make the pick because it's better. So 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.959 Omar Norman lot is still there. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:59.440 We'll be making strengths, extreme strengths and just having the 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.079 best D line ever. You know what I mean. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.079 Like none, I'll tell you none of the cornerbacks, like 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.200 the receivers are what the appeal to me, that the 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.040 receiver would be something that I had to look at. 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.200 Matthew Golden is still there. Jayden Higgins is still there. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.959 Jalen Royals is still there. I like Royals, I don't 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.120 like me some Jalen Royle. Yeah. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:21.560 I prefer Golden though, and I'm flat out pillaging this 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.640 form mel kiper I was listening to their podcast this morning, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.000 I Guess tomorrow his mock's coming out. 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.719 And he basically said he absolutely thinks Golden's. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.360 Going in the first round, that he's a hot commodity 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:39.000 right now. I was also listening to mcshay's podcast, said 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.560 Golden's the names no one's talking about as a mid 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.000 to late first round pick. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.880 See, I think Jalen Royals could go if he works 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.240 out the combine and runs a fourth three. He's a 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.040 run the fourth three? Yeah, how big is he? Like 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.840 six to one, he's gone. He's a track guy, yeah, yeah, 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.760 but he catches everything. And when I say he's a 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.560 track guy, he also high jumped six to four. I 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.560 know this is a guy who's all kinds of athleticism. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.000 How long do we have to our next pick? 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:08.920 We go again at eighty three? 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:13.400 Either school with me? 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.360 We probably need a receiver, I would. 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:22.440 Say, I I meant either receivers. Yeah. Now the next 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.480 one could be whatever you want. I mean, if if 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.920 you get if they're the best defensive lineman's on the board, Tennessee, dude, 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.040 I'm fine with it. Yeah. I mean again, you probably 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:35.280 have signed a corner at this point. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:41.280 Let me just look to here at the mccuba is 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.480 still there as well. The safety is available. Kevin Winston 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:48.600 Junior from Penn State. He's a highly tired guy. He 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.800 I don't know that he's played enough that I want to. 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.360 I wouldn't pick him over the receivers. Mccouba is still there, 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.600 Jalen Reed. The other safety from Penn State is there, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.520 Rod Moore, Sebastian cast Malachi Moore, Lathan Ransom. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.240 Suddenly there's some defensive backs that have a chance to 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.360 fall Ransom. 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:15.120 Yeah, what receiver do you prefer? I like him both. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.560 I don't know how realistic it is that Golden is 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:19.920 going to be there at sixty three, right. 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.760 I think if it's Wilson, you'd definitely take the Speedster. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.400 If it fields, I don't think it matters either way. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:37.120 Yeah, all right, we'll take Golden either school. Yeah, take Golden. Okay, 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.240 now we got to start thinking running back here too. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:41.600 At some point we took one in the first round. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:42.440 Oh yeah, what am I thinking? 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:47.560 Yeah? We're good. There is the biggest need. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.520 Corner, Yeah, a defensive back. 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.280 Even with a trade down, though, we're not going to 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:52.080 feel every need. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.960 That might be something that you have to fill in 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:55.720 free agency. 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.640 Yeah, that's a whole nother segment. But there's six or 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:05.000 seven names that should be twelve million to sixteen million. 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.720 That I would be very interested in a free agency. 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.400 I also want to see what Corey Trice can be. 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:13.000 Is a you know, he's not a throwaway all right, 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:14.760 we at the Minnesota's on the phone. They want to 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.520 give us pick ninety seven and one thirty nine for 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.480 eighty three and two forty six. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.400 I don't think trading down in the mid round. 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.040 Yeah, I'm gonna hold jack that. Yeah, all right. Top 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:31.120 players available regardless of position. The edge rusher out of BC. Oh, 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.680 he's not going to be there. Dorian Strong, the cornerback 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.760 out of Virginia Tech. It's a big guy. 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.000 Yeah, that's appealing. 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.680 David Walker, edg rusher out of Central Arkansas. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:42.880 Ed rushers are great and they're gonna be a lot 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.200 of them. I can't imagine using a pick on one. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.520 Ashton Jilot the edge rusher out of Louisville. Holland Pierce 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:55.160 offensive tackle from Rutgers. DJ Giddens running back from k State. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.720 Elijah or Rojo tight end from Miami. It's a past 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.640 Casch tight end. Jalen Reid safety at a Penn State. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:10.400 Jabbar Mohammad cornerback out of Oregon. Shamar Turner defensive tackle 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.200 from Texas A and M. He's more of a nozo too, Okay, 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.200 I believe I think so. I'm thinking to the right 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.040 guy there. Six four to three hundred. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:19.360 I know they have three that are gonna be picked. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.120 Yeah, the guys are more endish. Gray's Abel was there 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:27.040 the offensive tackle on in North Dakota State. Will Howard interesting, 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.160 we haven't taken a quarterback. What quarterbacks are there? I 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.120 think Howard is the best of the group, but let 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.240 me take a look here and who else is available? 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.800 So Howard, Quinn, yours, Curtis Rourke, Dylan Gabriel, Kyle McCord, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.680 Brady Cook from Missouri. He's kind of interesting. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.880 McCord's another one Kuyper was alluding to, is gonna go 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.040 a lot higher than people think, like a round two 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:54.480 type guy. Yeah. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.000 I don't know enough about him. I know that the 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.240 Ohio State fans hate them. Pure pocket passer. 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.920 Yeah, I don't think if we went with Fields, I 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.240 don't want up your pocket passers his backup. 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.040 I don't have a problem with going with Will Howard. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.879 I don't know that. I was also thinking the the 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:11.399 V tech corner. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:13.640 He would be attractive. He's high on the list and 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:21.480 corners are massive. He's six one five, that's fine. Yeah, 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:23.240 probably get the one ninety in a year or whatever. 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.000 He's never going to be huge. That would be my vote, 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.159 but I don't mind the Ohio State dute either. All right, 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:32.040 we'll take him cornerback. It is Dorian Strong in Virginia Tech. 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.880 Now we don't have another picked until one sixty two. Gap. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.880 We got one sixty two, one sixty five, and two 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.959 twenty six. No, we have one at one twenty one. 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.560 I'm sorry we didn't trade that away. It doesn't show. 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.240 It shows you your next pick over to the left. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:50.840 It doesn't show you. Then it has your other picks 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.360 remaining over on the other side. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.959 So makes you a little difficult deep tight end draft. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.480 And there could be someone of interest there. I know 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.240 it's a terrible place to shop for tackles, but I 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.719 love getting a developmental tackle that could be maybe your 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:10.760 swing guy as a rookie. Another back seems crazy after 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.520 you use the first round pick on one, but the 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.880 seventh round I'd consider it, yeah, especially. 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:16.960 If he's a kind can ask for you know, your 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.919 first round draft pick to return kicks. Dallas is on 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:24.520 the phone. Dallas went saw off for pich one pick 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.960 one twenty one, Jerry Getaddy. That's a lot of work. Yeah, 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:34.040 all right, so top players available, base sholl tooton running 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.440 back out of Virginia Tech. Anthony Belton, offensive tackle and 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.560 c State A much. 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:41.200 About him, But a tackle here, if he's high on 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:42.359 the board, would be appealing to me. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.000 Lander Barton, linebacker out of Utah, film offa running back 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:51.440 out of Clemson. Charles Grant, offensive tackle. 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:53.399 Charles Grants, that'd be great. 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.200 Yeah, I definitely like that. Jordan Phillips, a defensive tackle 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:57.160 out of Maryland. 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.600 I actually have heard good things about Charles Grant. Number 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.239 two is yeah, small schools. Why he's just low right now? 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.399 Yeah, well, you gotta think that Mike Toma might know 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.040 a little bit about the William and Merry guy. 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:11.399 Yeah, yeah, said things going off in my head like 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.000 crazy with him too, because supposedly he's a really good athlete. 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.960 You have you drafted tackles in the top two rounds. 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:18.560 I mean, he could basically red. 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.480 Shirt this year and maybe is a guard down the 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.800 road maybe right, I don't know, I would be very appealing. 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:29.239 I think that's appealing. Yeah. The top quarterback available is 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:30.080 Kyle McCord. 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.000 Okay, so but if he's only a pocket passer, I 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.400 don't think that's the fields back up that I want. 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:40.200 Charles Grant, Oh yeah, Charles, Charles. 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:43.960 How happy that makes me. We're gonna line those guys 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.320 up with the first rep of camp. 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:49.040 Oh yeah, Grant, Grant, Yeah, he's so great. 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:53.560 Yeah, you know, those things tickle me to know, and 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:58.560 I know, right right, but I think that's a decent 0:19:58.600 --> 0:19:59.760 picky the way, all right. 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.000 So thus far then we have gotten Omarion Hampton at 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:07.760 picked thirty one, Kenneth Grant picked fifty two, Matthew Golden 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:12.880 picked sixty three, Dorian Strong, cornerback out of Virginia Tech 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.920 at eighty three, and then Charles Grant not the guy 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.240 out of the defensive tackle from Michigan, but instead the 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:20.919 offensive tackle from William and Mary. 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:26.200 I'm good. I like it. Big guys, slot safety, special 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.480 teamer would be something to look at. Tight end I'd 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:35.680 consider start throw quarterback doesn't sound crazy? I mean, right now, 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.679 how many quarterbacks are being in camp as of this 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.960 draft sounds like two Adams Thompson, Robinson. 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:48.240 Right, yeahright, Kyle mcgonaghey running back out of Rutgers, Raheem 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.320 Sanders running back out of South Carolina, Jordan James, running 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:56.320 back out of Oregon, Marcus mcbow offensive tackle from two 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.960 Yaha Black defensive tackle still there. Yeah, some people think 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.920 of him as the first round pick. I've seen a 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.400 lot of guard stuff with him. Yeah, I haven't watched 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:09.240 him yet. Yeah. Olie Gordon running back out of Oklahoma State. 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:15.560 RJ RJ. Harvey running back out of UCF. Danny Stutsman, 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:16.840 linebacker from Oklahoma. 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.200 See, like, if we hadn't gone running back in the 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.880 first round, if we'd taken corner or whatever, a lot 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.719 of these dudes are pretty appealing. Yeah, at this neighborhood. 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:26.320 Yeah, oh, no doubt. 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:28.480 Yeah, it's a crazy draft for those guys. Take two 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:33.400 of them in the fifth and sixth round. 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:42.679 I'm just looking here. Ifisian's Price Sock cornerback out of Washington. Okay, 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.160 have you seen that name yet? Because he is six 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:46.880 four one ninety point. 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:48.520 No, we took one, but I don't care. You can 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:49.640 never have too many. I would never. 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.560 He is a definite outside cornerback. 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:53.240 That's what they like. 0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:54.240 I'm just looking here. 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:57.720 The defensive back here makes some sense to me of 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:02.840 any shape we're going to get that this draft. The 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:03.680 safety that can play. 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.800 Zah Frasier's there, the cornerback from UTSA who at the 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.160 Shrine Bowl that the guy we just talked about. 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.280 So we took one recently, but another corner just to 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:14.680 throw a lot to fans. He would stick. 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:21.520 Defensive tackles again. Wouldn't bother me to double down at 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:23.600 the episode. I don't want another nose. I want to 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:29.280 any other huge guys. Yeah, nothing is also of interest. 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:31.879 Nothing there that's super interesting to me. 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:35.479 I mean, I don't think prove it will be back. 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:39.600 You're gonna keep four. Hayward might only be a special 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:40.400 team or at this point. 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:45.320 So you got Jake bringing stool, brings his own stool 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:49.159 to the bringing the school. He's from Clemson. Gavin Bartholomew 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:50.920 from Pitt Jalen. 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.119 Comedy is a kind of a fit too. He's a 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:53.320 tough guy in line dude. 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:59.080 Yeah, Jalen Kanye's from Texas Tech. Thomas Faedon from Nebraska, 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:06.200 Drake Dabney from TCU, Jeremy Jermaine Terry from Oregon State, 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.080 Cole Taylor from West Virginia, Mitchell Evans from Notre Dame 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:14.480 parthol Of. He is the one I know and I 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:15.399 wouldn't have a problem with. 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:16.240 Yeah. 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:20.200 Bryson Nesbit from North Carolina is kind of interesting to 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:24.320 me tight end. Yeah, Okay, last year he caught a 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:27.360 ton of passes because well they had a good quarterback. 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:30.080 This year now gone, Yeah, this year not so much, 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:32.960 but more of a pass catching tight end. I think 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:34.840 he's more the seventh round guy though. 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:36.879 Okay, okay, that's a name to know though. 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:40.520 Yeah, I don't know this. I don't love any of 0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:41.800 this really, to be honest with you. 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:47.720 The best available regardless position. 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:57.119 Regardless of position, not it's blowing your doors off. It's 0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:00.360 all running backs. Yeah, yeah, like one of take another 0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:02.480 running back by Dallas, want to trade up with it? Maybe, 0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:07.119 so maybe you take Marcus Macbow. Oh yeah, I think 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.639 that's a mistake from what I've learned a little bit 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.920 about him. Well, say R. J. Harvey is still there too. Again, 0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:21.720 some of those guys may fall. But Jalen Noel from 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:24.200 a wide receiver from Iowa State. You doubled out the 0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:25.560 wide receiver position in this one. 0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:28.760 What's his profile? What's he doing? 0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:36.080 He uh has an explosive release in stride, improving route running. 0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:37.760 Should be a Day two pick in the draft. Recording 0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:40.119 of this had one thousand yards and six touchdowns this season. 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:43.360 I wouldn't object to bringing another receiver. 0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:46.600 And another receiver to the mix. Let's do that, all right, 0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:47.840 few receivers. 0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:50.520 That's not terrible, right, traded down you get the little 0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:57.640 bonus press. So now we just have seventh rounders. 0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:02.359 We got uh yeah, we got two twenty six remaining 0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:04.639 two twenty six and two forty six remaining here. So 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.360 it's gonna take us a little while or to get there. 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:12.920 But just thing paused on me here? What's going on here? 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.200 I'd consider any position at this point, but some of 0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:17.720 these face special special teams. 0:25:17.960 --> 0:25:20.159 Stands out. Oh we're up now? Did I not make 0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:20.520 that pick? 0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:21.120 I thought I did. 0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:23.040 That's bad radio. 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:27.600 Yeah, that's all right. We won't lose any listeners over that. 0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:30.639 No, of course not h No, we're actually up again here. 0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:32.800 We must have. I didn't realize we traded for that pick. 0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:35.240 So we are up again here, and. 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.520 I'm sure it's not real fruitful of what's No. 0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:45.879 It's not it's not a great I'm just looking here 0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:54.280 at safeties. Yuck cornerback. Well, if esian's price sock is 0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:56.840 still there, six foot four corner. 0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:58.159 Yeah, take me right right right? 0:25:58.359 --> 0:25:59.320 We like big corners. 0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:01.840 Yeah, I practice squad it all year or whatever. But 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.720 have a rookie year like Trice or something like that, 0:26:04.880 --> 0:26:07.400 you know, might be happy about the four corner. Yeah, 0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:10.399 I mean land of the giants in that cornerback room. 0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:12.639 That's what you're looking for. That's exactly their profile, right. 0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:15.240 I don't know if any of them can play the slot. 0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:17.800 Probably not, But that's to find those guys too. Yeah, 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:21.720 you got Beanie Bishop for now, right, there'll be competition 0:26:21.800 --> 0:26:23.720 for him too, And there's no question in my mind. Yeah, 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.840 all right, we're cruising down here. Now we get two 0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:30.440 picks left and pick two twenty six coming up here. 0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:32.959 I should have speeded this up a little bit. 0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:34.520 This could be running back land. 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:37.040 I would take a second running back here to somebody 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:40.840 that was Again, he could be smaller, he could be 0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:41.840 doesn't even matter. 0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:45.320 Yeah, I mean, these are guys are going to get 0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:47.240 the fifth round grades in the seventh round. 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.480 But I think you know, one of the things to 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:57.119 your point, what you want to do, if it is fields, 0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.880 is you want to continue to build your defense. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:02.720 keep that very strong in my mind. 0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.000 You need a big play defense. It doesn't can get 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:10.440 off the field. Yeah, another D lineman wouldn't break my heart. 0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:12.320 I mean at this point, if there's an edge you'll like, 0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:15.240 I mean, there's nothing to shy away from me, tide linebacker. 0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:20.720 So the top guys available Glendon Miller, safety out of Maryland. Yeah, 0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:26.240 but Glenn done. You got Javari Ritzi, defensive tackle from 0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.840 North Carolina. I'm just looking at you. See if there's 0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:33.439 anybody that Mario Anderson junior running back at A Memphis 0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:37.680 five eight two oh six. Not much about them, but okay, 0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:40.480 I do know that the Memphis running backs have They've 0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.119 always done well, always done well. Here's one guy that 0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:46.160 is kind of interesting to me, and that's JJ Pegas 0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:51.720 from Ole Miss running back, no defensive tackle. Oh, he's 0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:53.400 more of a long. 0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:56.640 Oh okay, I have no problem taking a big compete 0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.480 with like Logan Lee yep, louder Milk replacement type. 0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:03.479 Yeah. Probably into the Yeah, into the middle, I'd say him. 0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:05.119 Or the safety that's the top of the boarder. One 0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:07.000 of those took Vegas. We'll see about to see what 0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:09.280 happens here at the last last pick. Here we get 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:12.680 coming up at two forty six. We're getting close here 0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:21.120 and and we're out all right. Uh, Top guys available. 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:24.720 Aiden Huntington from Tulane defensive tackle, Tyler Battye ede rusher 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:29.320 out of b Yu Nash Hutmasher, defensive tackle from Nebraska 0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:33.600 Lea Quin Allen, running back out of Syracuse. 0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:37.880 Oh, he's a good receiver, he's got I think that's 0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:38.600 a nice pick too. 0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:41.360 Yeah, all right, there it is the Quinn Allen. 0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:44.040 No, he's he's kind of like a Tyrone Tracy type. Yeah, 0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:47.520 kick return probably possibilities. Why not. I'm going with that. 0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:50.240 We had some extra picks there, we used them. 0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:52.480 Yeah, Yeah, we doubled down a compositions. 0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:56.440 Absolutely, there's corners two d line. All right. So we 0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:59.000 ended up with the Amari and Hampton running back out 0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:02.719 of North Carolina pick thirty one. At pick fifty two, 0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:06.360 we took Kenneth Grant picked sixty three, Matthew Golden, the 0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:09.480 wide receiver out of Texas. Eighty three was Dorian Strong, 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:13.120 cornerback out of Virginia Tech. One twenty one was Charles Grant, 0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:17.360 the offensive tackle, might be a guard from William and Mary. 0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:20.160 At one sixty two, we took Jayalen Noelle, the wide 0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:23.960 receiver from Iowa State. One sixty five Ephesians price sock. 0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:26.640 I'd have to learn how to spell that one? At 0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:29.640 one sixty five, cornerback out of Washington two twenty six. 0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.800 We took JJ pegas defensive lineman out of Ole Miss, 0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:35.240 so we doubled down on the defensive line there. But 0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:38.280 they're different ones and edge ones and those. 0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:39.040 Yeah. 0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:43.000 And then Leaquin Allen, the running back out of Syracuse 0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.800 at two forty six. Cool, Okay, there we go, there 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:49.040 we go. I like the trade down. Yeah, not bad. 0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:50.000 Yeah, yeah, not bad. 0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:54.400 You get more, give me more, give me more. Absolutely, anyways, 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.640 let's get through a break. He is the Matt Williamson. 0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:58.520 I am Dale Lolly. This is the drive on the 0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:00.760 Steelers Audio Network. Matt. Now, I'll be back with more 0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:01.680 right after this. 0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:08.280 At least, he's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt 0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:11.280 Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the 0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:14.520 Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. 0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:20.920 Welcome back. I am Dale Lollie. He is the Matt 0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:26.600 Williamson and Matt Pro Football Focus as their top seventy 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:30.040 five players set to enter free agency list out there. 0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:34.360 And it's interesting because I don't know that it necessarily 0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:37.920 matches up to some of the beliefs that Steeler fans have. 0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:40.280 I could see that. 0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:43.120 I was looking through it today. I was mostly interested 0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:46.360 in what they projected for contracts, you know, in some 0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:50.040 positions that I think will be interesting to the Steelers. 0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:53.000 And there's some Steelers on there that are set to 0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:55.400 make a pretty good buck several facts. I mean, yeah, 0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:57.680 quite a few, and I don't think many of them 0:30:57.680 --> 0:30:59.360 will be We'll be back, to be honest with you. 0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:03.280 Yeah, So it led me to think this might be 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.000 a year where you don't want to spend a ton 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:10.560 of money in free agency unless you're signing guys who 0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:11.960 were cut by somebody. 0:31:11.640 --> 0:31:12.880 Else for com reasons. 0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:15.840 You're talking right right angle. 0:31:16.200 --> 0:31:20.640 Yeah, Yes, and no, because I do think they will 0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:22.800 when it's all said and done, have a lot to spend, 0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:27.400 and their draft capital is good, not great. You want 0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:30.520 to get better, and I think free agency is more 0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:33.000 of an avenue this year than most in terms of 0:31:33.080 --> 0:31:37.240 your resources. I love the comp game, But to your point, 0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:40.680 if it's DeVante Adams versus Godwin and they want the 0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:43.080 same amount of money and Adams got cut and Godwin didn't, 0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:44.719 won't get me it right? 0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:45.520 Right? Yeah? 0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:45.960 I would. 0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:49.440 I would definitely take that into consideration because on this 0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:54.080 on this list of the top seventy five. Yeah, free agents, 0:31:54.400 --> 0:31:55.920 these are the guys that are probably going to get 0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:59.920 the bigger contracts. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, are justin fields. 0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:05.560 Mm hmm. Obviously both quarterbacks quarterbacks are on or on 0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:09.400 seventy five. Also on this list is Naujie Harris and 0:32:09.520 --> 0:32:11.520 also I think he's gonna make eleven ish. You know, 0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:14.760 James Daniels, Yep, he graded really. 0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:18.000 Well for them. They're big James Daniels fans and Dan Moore. 0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:20.880 M h that's a pretty good power of contracts that 0:32:20.920 --> 0:32:24.040 could be leaving town now. Probably one of those quarterbacks 0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:26.200 isn't in the mix of levers the guys that are 0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:29.240 taken out, and there's also the Landon Roberts of the 0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:31.240 world and guys like that, whether you bring them back 0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:34.080 or not, they're going to add up. Mike Williams, you 0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:37.400 guys like that too. The other thing that I'd been 0:32:37.440 --> 0:32:40.280 thinking about too, and it comes back to kind of 0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:43.760 the Metcalf conversation. We started the show with some of 0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:47.720 those Steelers three seventh round picks. You could basically trade 0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:51.960 for a player that someone's going to dump, right because 0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:53.400 you have cap space and they don't. 0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:55.960 You know, like you're just flipping them. I mean, you 0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:57.800 got one year left wonder deal and you're just yeah, 0:32:57.920 --> 0:32:59.080 taking them off their hands. 0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:01.840 Right, Like, where either going to cut this guy because 0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.480 we're the Saints and we have no money, or you 0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:06.920 guys can eat the contract and you'll get a much 0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:08.600 better player than a seventh round pick. 0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:11.080 You just gonna have to pay whatever's left on that deal. 0:33:11.160 --> 0:33:13.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you're basically trading a seventh 0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.120 round pick for cap space. Yeah, but you get a 0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.720 good player, right, And those deals happen all the time 0:33:17.760 --> 0:33:19.240 in the league. I could see the Steelers making a 0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:22.080 move or two like that. Yeah, you're not gonna get 0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:23.800 Tyreek Hill for a seventh round pack, but you know, 0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.840 right or right, but you could get quality players. Yeah. 0:33:26.880 --> 0:33:30.720 The interesting thing about again I mentioned this, this is 0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:32.800 the top seventy five, and. 0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:33.680 They go pretty quick. 0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:34.000 Yeah. 0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.440 They couple of those guys with franchise, couple won't even 0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:38.680 hit free agency to begin with. Same as always. 0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:42.800 But you know, again, I think if you can get 0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:46.040 some comp picks back, if you don't spend like crazy 0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:51.400 and these guys get good contracts out, whatever you're gonna make, 0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:52.680 you're gonna be all right. 0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:54.680 Be nice. To pick up thirds in the future. 0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.000 Yeah, or even a fifth, an extra fifth or whatever 0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:57.240 it may. 0:33:57.400 --> 0:33:58.719 Yeah, those things are valuable, right. 0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:05.760 I heard people somebody mentioned today Naujee Harris was a 0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:08.239 wasted draft pick by the Steelers. Gave the ball like 0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:11.719 eight thousand times. It four straight thousand yard seasons. You're 0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:15.080 gonna go and because they didn't pick up his fifty 0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:17.440 year option, you're gonna say that's a bust. That's not 0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:18.600 how this works anymore. 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:23.000 Right, you think running backs are not We've had that conversation. 0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:24.279 This is what I wanted to talk about. 0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:27.480 Okay, So people think he's been on Dale's mind since 0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:28.440 the first segment, and. 0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:30.360 I couldn't think of what it was. This was backing 0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:32.440 his brain over there and the alarm just went off. 0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:34.200 There we go, ding ding ding. 0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:38.120 So when the comp when the I'm sorry, when the 0:34:38.160 --> 0:34:43.240 fifty year option was first a thing, yes, and players 0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:46.879 were paid. The first ten picks got the big money, 0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:51.719 and then after that everybody was slotted in and picks yeah, 0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:53.879 he picks eleven through thirty two were kind of slid 0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:56.960 the year options were new, Yeah, and they didn't make 0:34:57.160 --> 0:35:01.160 massive amounts of money. Every Body picked up the option 0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:03.920 it was very team friendly. It was very team friendly 0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:05.799 for teams to pick up the option on that fifty 0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:07.719 year if your guy was drafted outside the top ten, 0:35:07.920 --> 0:35:10.560 if your guy was drafted inside the top ten, it 0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:14.680 was not as friendly because they got comparable you know, 0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:17.600 they got the basically the transition tag in their position. 0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:19.920 And of course there's a lot of quarterbacks and tackles 0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:22.360 and hard to find positions in the top ten, so. 0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:24.919 You had to really, you know, be a star. Yeah. 0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:25.200 Yeah. 0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:30.879 With the new CBA, they changed that rule big time 0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:33.400 in a big way because if you if you do 0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:35.560 things like what you did, if you did things like 0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:38.879 make a Pro Bowl, now you're getting that transition tag. 0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:41.120 How hard to make a Pro Bowl? 0:35:41.360 --> 0:35:43.480 Yeah right, I mean it's an accomplishment, don't get me wrong. Right, 0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:45.239 a lot of guys get a Pro Bowl, or if. 0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:48.200 You've been a starter, you get this. It's you're paying 0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:50.400 these guys at a much higher level now than what 0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:52.680 you would have paid them before because it just because 0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:55.200 of the fact that you drafted them in the first round. Yes, 0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:59.279 and so now not as many first round draft picks 0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:01.959 are getting that fifth your option picked up across the league. 0:36:02.000 --> 0:36:05.720 This is across the and it's maybe thirty three percent 0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:08.640 of what it's gone. It's gone way down, way down, 0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:10.560 way down in the last few years because of this 0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:14.000 new CBA. But I still hear people say, well, so 0:36:14.160 --> 0:36:16.000 it's such and such team didn't pick up his fifty 0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.360 year options, so they must not have liked him. No, 0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:19.399 that's not the case. 0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:22.200 It's not the case. And I also think it's a 0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:24.880 flawed system of the day you have to make that 0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:29.080 decision because the day you make that decision, you're guaranteeing 0:36:29.239 --> 0:36:31.000 them x amount whatever. 0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:32.840 The year years from now, two years from now, so 0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:35.600 you're essentially guaranteeing the final two years of their contract. 0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:40.920 Right and Nausey in particular, has been remarkablely reliable and durable. 0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:43.560 They're two of his best traits. But he's a running 0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.759 back that had a lot of damage. You're going to 0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:48.680 guarantee those two years when he you're giving him the 0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:49.399 ball that much. 0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.440 He also made the Pro Bowl after his rookie year, 0:36:52.160 --> 0:36:54.319 so he's more expensive, so you're not going to pick 0:36:54.400 --> 0:36:56.080 up that fifty year option. He would have to be 0:36:56.160 --> 0:36:57.799 one of the best backs in the league to really 0:36:57.840 --> 0:36:58.040 make that. 0:36:58.400 --> 0:37:00.400 Have to be Barkley to want to do right, right, 0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.080 and if he misses time, you still lose, right. I 0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:05.520 mean the guaranteed part of it that early in the 0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:08.040 process is flawed to me. I don't understand why they 0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:08.800 think that's smart. 0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:12.080 Yeah, so maybe this is something that gets changed in 0:37:12.160 --> 0:37:14.719 the next CBA when they find out this doesn't work. Yeah, 0:37:14.760 --> 0:37:16.799 this is the whole idea, or the system is bad. 0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:19.400 It could be as well that the guys who end 0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:21.640 up getting drafted in the first round like this because 0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:23.600 they get to become free agy players like it. 0:37:23.719 --> 0:37:25.319 Yeah, they don't want to be the fifth year option 0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:25.719 picked up. 0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:31.160 It's not. But realistically, I mean you watch when when 0:37:31.160 --> 0:37:34.080 they're the numbers come out for this year's class, and 0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:35.880 who gets there a fifty year option picked up and 0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:37.480 who doesn't. It's going to be about a third of 0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:39.520 the first round. Yeah, I would say. 0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:43.239 I think it's usually like nine to twelve guys last 0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:44.640 year or two out of thirty two. 0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:46.160 Because of the way they change the rules. But people 0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:48.480 were still looking at this like it's the old rules 0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:50.360 that were much more team friendly. 0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:54.960 That's not the case this case, right, And frankly, like 0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:58.520 who was it that traded up into the first round 0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:01.080 to take a receiver this year, Bills went from like 0:38:01.920 --> 0:38:04.920 twenty nine to thirty. Oh the Panthers to get Legett. 0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:06.160 I'm like, that's dumb. 0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:08.319 Yeah, and they almost did it. I felt like because 0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:10.840 all those receivers went together as peer solid, Lagett and 0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:15.040 Mconkee and they were all available unless they loved Lagett 0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:18.319 so much more than those other dudes that they had 0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:21.560 to have him. It makes no sense to give something up, 0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:23.959 to go up three picks just to get the fifth 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:26.960 year option. And frankly, the Panthers are one of the 0:38:27.560 --> 0:38:30.000 dumbest teams the league, you know. I mean, I'm sure 0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.280 the Bills are like, I'll gladly move down three spots. 0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:34.640 I don't care about the fifth year option. It's not 0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:36.600 as valuable as it used to be on draft days. 0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:38.759 So here here's so for example, this is the twenty 0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:41.719 twenty two first round draft class. Gosh, so these are 0:38:41.760 --> 0:38:42.840 the guys who are going to have to have their 0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:44.000 options picked up this year. 0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:45.800 The decision time comes. 0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:48.399 When is the date to get I remember I hate 0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:49.000 when the date is. 0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:50.879 It's basically two years. 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:54.120 It's mad yes, after the draft, yeah, I know, it's 0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:56.440 after the draft. So Trayvon Walker was the first overall 0:38:56.480 --> 0:39:00.239 pick in the draft, he gets a playtime The way 0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:04.160 this says, you have the basic option, the playtime option, 0:39:04.239 --> 0:39:05.880 which is based on how much you've played, if you've 0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:07.879 been a starter over I think fifty percent of the time, 0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:13.879 you get if the average third to twentieth high highest salaries. Yeah, 0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:18.320 so the playtime option is the third to twentieth highest 0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:20.800 paid salaries at their position over the last five season, 0:39:21.200 --> 0:39:24.759 provided their snap count meets seventy five percent or greater 0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:26.680 over two of their first three seasons. An average is 0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:29.480 seventy five percent or greater over all three seasons, or 0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:32.319 fifty percent or greater overall three seasons. 0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:33.520 Which I know is a little hard to follow, but 0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:34.440 that means he played a lot. 0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:37.759 Yeah, he's probably played over five hield right, right, right, 0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:42.879 sixteen million dollars for Trayvon Walker Aiden Hutchinson because he's 0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:43.879 made a one Pro Bowl. 0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:46.240 Mitey Walker has not made a Pro Bowl and won't 0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:49.279 by the time it comes around, because that's not too late. 0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:54.120 Twenty two point six million dollars for Aiden Hutchinson. That's 0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:56.000 a pest. I pick up the fifty year option, yes 0:39:56.120 --> 0:40:00.160 or not. Derek Stingley is made a Pro Bowl ten 0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:01.240 point two million dollars. 0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:02.439 This is big money. 0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:06.399 I mean, like Sauce Gardner. I mean those guys are yeses, yeah, yeah. 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:09.719 But the difference between that and just the basic uh 0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:11.880 for extingly for example. 0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:13.720 And probably the same for Sauce, he made a Pro Bowl. 0:40:13.640 --> 0:40:16.680 It's eleven million, eleven point seven million compared to seventeen 0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:21.120 point two it's a significant amount of Yeah, Gardner's twenty 0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:26.520 point four million. Basically he more than Stingley because he's 0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:28.880 made multiple probra so multiple I think that's the thing 0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.759 that's he gets. He gets the highest level of that. 0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:35.800 So if you if you look at, for example, Kenny Pickett, 0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:38.120 the Steelers would have been making a decision on Kenny 0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:42.080 Pickett this year the basic play level for him, because 0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:45.160 he would he didn't play the snap total in his 0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:48.920 rookie year and he didn't get there obviously this past year. Right, 0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:52.640 So for Philadelphia to pick up the fifty year option 0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:57.239 would be twenty point seven million dollars. I mean there's 0:40:57.280 --> 0:40:59.680 no chance they will. Had he stayed with the Steelers 0:40:59.680 --> 0:41:01.279 and not made a Pro Bowl, would have been twenty 0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:04.080 three point basically twenty three point eight million. 0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:06.000 So here's a weird question you might not be able 0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:09.279 to figure out. But let's say he was great and 0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:12.440 you loved him and you didn't trade him, and Russell 0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:15.080 Wilson ever existed, the pick worked out, and he's your 0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:18.719 franchise quarterback. You know what that would have cost? Would 0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:20.640 it had been the same as Sauce? I guess depends 0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:22.160 on well, if he made a Pro Bowl. 0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:24.120 I was going to get to that. You're drimping ahead 0:41:24.120 --> 0:41:26.520 too much here. If he would have made a Pro 0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:27.200 Bowl one. 0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:30.200 Right, one out, mahomes Alan Lamar. 0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:34.400 Thirty five point twenty six million. If he makes two 0:41:34.480 --> 0:41:37.880 Pro Bowls, multiple Pro Bowls, it's forty one point three million. 0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:40.239 But if he was awesome, you're happy about it, right, 0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:43.120 If he's awesome, happy about it. But there's there's no 0:41:43.320 --> 0:41:46.920 delineation here like there used to be past those top 0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:48.920 ten picks where you just got slotted in wherever you 0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:51.400 were picked at and you just made one hundred and 0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.200 fifty thousand more than the guy who was picked ahead 0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:55.719 of your. Right, now it's it becomes much more. 0:41:56.239 --> 0:41:57.879 And some positions are easy to go to Pro bols 0:41:57.920 --> 0:42:00.520 than others. Yeah, right, you know, easier to go as 0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:01.200 a corner than. 0:42:01.120 --> 0:42:05.200 A quarterback Tyler Linderbaum, for example, expense the Ravens have 0:42:05.320 --> 0:42:09.800 to pick up Tyler Linderbaum's first round tender. Well for 0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:13.440 offensive lineman, that's just lineman, right, it's just offensive lineman. 0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:16.839 So Tyler Linderbaum to pick up his fifty year option 0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:20.840 for the Ravens twenty five point one five million for 0:42:21.000 --> 0:42:24.640 a center for a center, right, they're not picking that up. 0:42:25.080 --> 0:42:27.799 And he's a successful pick. They're not picking that up. 0:42:27.840 --> 0:42:30.080 They're not picking it up. They'll try to work out 0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:33.480 another I deal with this mansion, right all right, and 0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:35.880 they well, but they could not pick it up and 0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:36.799 then franchise them. 0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.360 But that's still a line. It's going to be more 0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:40.360 than twenty five million in. 0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:43.759 That because it's tackle money, right, yeah, it's it's the 0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:46.960 system is broken, system screwed up. They made a good pick. 0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:49.239 They also had Kyle Hamilton in the first round that year. 0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:52.880 He's a safety. Well, his he made prow His fifty 0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:57.720 year option is nineteen point six million dollars. They probably 0:42:57.800 --> 0:42:59.839 pick it up, but that's an auci. So to pick 0:42:59.920 --> 0:43:02.480 up both of those options would cost them over forty 0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:06.280 million dollars. They're not picking them both up. And doesn't 0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:07.640 mean they don't love the player. 0:43:07.640 --> 0:43:09.920 Or that it was a bad pick or ust or whatever. 0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:13.839 They're perfect examples, even more so than nausey. Right, these 0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:14.640 were great picks. 0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:18.440 You hit on those picks. They're the only three guys 0:43:19.040 --> 0:43:23.719 between That's the thing. Sauce Gardner, Kyle Hamilton, and Tyler 0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:26.040 Linderbaum are the only three guys from that first round 0:43:26.280 --> 0:43:27.680 who have made multiple. 0:43:27.440 --> 0:43:31.480 Multiple Pro Bowls. But you can get safeties. I mean, 0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:34.400 like corner is an expensive position. Safeties and centers aren't. 0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:37.120 It's one of the arguments why you don't. 0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:39.279 Take Tyler Smith, who has taking one pick ahead of 0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:44.240 Linderbaum in that same draft and has been a good players, 0:43:44.280 --> 0:43:46.800 made made a Pro Bowl. You could make the argument 0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:49.520 he's been a better player than Yeah. Right, he's twenty 0:43:49.560 --> 0:43:52.719 two point seven million because he's only made one Pro Bowl, 0:43:52.880 --> 0:43:54.600 which is easier to pall it. 0:43:54.880 --> 0:43:55.080 Yeah. 0:43:55.239 --> 0:43:58.200 Still, it's a lot for guard. They probably will do it. 0:43:58.480 --> 0:44:00.759 So folks, when you're talking about the fifty year option 0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.640 and team's not picking it up, yeah, it's different than 0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:04.120 it used to be. 0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:09.960 Massively, massively Okay, that's interesting. I was curious about pick 0:44:10.040 --> 0:44:13.480 it just as a mid round quarterback that hits because 0:44:13.560 --> 0:44:15.000 maybe it was I went next year. Whatever. 0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:18.440 You know what, Zach, you're almost better off taking cheaper 0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:22.319 positions in the first round so you can pick up 0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:24.560 that fifty year option on them as opposed to taking 0:44:24.760 --> 0:44:25.720 a premium. 0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:27.600 Well, then you get the problem that the Baltimore's have 0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:30.640 them with a safety and center, that they're too expensive 0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:31.560 because well, but if. 0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:33.480 You have two first round draft picks. Yeah, if you 0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:35.320 don't have two first round draft picks. 0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:36.799 But they wouldn't probably pick up linder Bombing. 0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:39.239 It's the same argument I had last year with people 0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:40.800 when I said, you don't take a center in the 0:44:40.880 --> 0:44:44.040 first round because of this, Because of that, you're not 0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:45.479 going to You're not going to pay a center twenty 0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:46.359 five point one million. 0:44:46.360 --> 0:44:47.640 Well, I think we're saying the same thing I thought 0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:49.440 you were saying the office standards. I'm like, no, right, 0:44:49.560 --> 0:44:51.920 taking a center in the first round is bad because yeah, 0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:54.440 wait until Frasier Creed Humphrey. 0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:57.600 Taking a guard in the first round is kind of like, 0:44:57.800 --> 0:44:58.560 what are you doing. 0:44:58.960 --> 0:45:01.600 The fact that the NFL puts all offensive linemen together 0:45:01.680 --> 0:45:03.960 for franchise tags and stuff and this type of thing 0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:04.680 is so dumb. 0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:07.319 Yeah, it's the same thing linebackers. Whether you're an edge 0:45:07.360 --> 0:45:10.759 rusher or linebackers, you're the same thing. You get you 0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:13.840 get the price for a linebacker, whereas they need different 0:45:15.160 --> 0:45:19.440 position designations, Like there is no designation here for defensive end. 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:22.160 It's either defense. There's no there were no defense line 0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:24.320 or linebacker. There were no defensive tackles taken in the 0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:27.000 first round that year, so they're all, Okay, that's a 0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:29.920 weird year there, yeah or no. Deontay Wyatt was the 0:45:29.960 --> 0:45:32.000 only one. He was the first guy, and he's thirteen 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:34.080 million as opposed to George Carl Loftis. 0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:36.799 I think Jordan Davis went in the first round at 0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:37.239 the year too. 0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:42.720 Yeah, where's he at? Yeah? Okay, so yeah, defensive tackle 0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:46.719 is eleven point four to six for and that's just 0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:49.359 the basic because he hasn't made a Pro Bowl as 0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:52.800 opposed to it would be twelve point six or eighteen 0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:54.720 point nine to nine five if he had made approb. 0:45:54.840 --> 0:45:56.440 So like when Jalen Carter is up a year from 0:45:56.480 --> 0:45:58.880 now with them, he's gonna be eighteen, but for him 0:45:58.920 --> 0:45:59.520 to be more. 0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:01.520 Than that, he can might be multiple Pro Bowls by then, 0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:03.960 and then you're looking at you know, way more than 0:46:04.000 --> 0:46:06.200 what this is. Now, where where'd he go? He would 0:46:06.200 --> 0:46:09.959 be uh twenty like Sauce Land. Yeah, you're talking twenty 0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:13.400 three point four million. It's different. It's not not what 0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:16.200 it used to be, folks, that it's just not. It's Yeah, 0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:18.840 these are big bites. A lot of these guys are 0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:20.839 not going to have their fifty year option picked up. 0:46:21.200 --> 0:46:24.719 No, I bet there's tennish. Yeah, some of those guys 0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:26.400 to be getting Will Hutchinson instantly. 0:46:26.600 --> 0:46:29.160 It's another reason why not to go too far down 0:46:29.200 --> 0:46:31.080 the rabbit hole thisss. But it's another reason why some 0:46:31.200 --> 0:46:33.279 of these guys are getting traded before that fifty year 0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:35.920 option becomes an option. Absolutely, just I don't want to 0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:37.520 let somebody else deal with that because I want to 0:46:37.560 --> 0:46:39.000 get I want to get something for the guy now. 0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:41.320 Because oh, by the way, you could pick up Sauce 0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:43.439 and then he could blow at his knee. Yeah, because 0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:46.359 again you're guaranteeing two years on the road, which is dumb. Yeah. 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:48.759 Anyways, let's get to a break where for that he is. 0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:51.279 Matt Williamson, I am Dale, Lolly. You're listening to the 0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:53.879 drive here on the Steelers Audio Network. Matt and I'll 0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:55.560 be back to finish up the show right after this. 0:46:59.520 --> 0:46:59.919 At least. 0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:03.480 He's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on 0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:05.719 your twenty four to seven home of the Black and 0:47:05.840 --> 0:47:08.520 Gold Steelers Nation Radio. 0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:14.440 Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolly, he is the Matt Williamson 0:47:14.520 --> 0:47:16.640 and just some news and notes from around the league here. 0:47:16.680 --> 0:47:20.960 Matt Kevin O'Connell gets a multi year extension with the Vikings. 0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:25.320 I think he's on a bang up job in the playoffs, 0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:27.359 but he's going to start hearing that real soon. 0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:27.719 You know. 0:47:28.040 --> 0:47:29.080 It's crazy league. 0:47:29.239 --> 0:47:31.520 Won a lot of games, but. 0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:36.239 A lot of coaching news, a lot of rumors, you know. 0:47:36.600 --> 0:47:40.640 Yeah, the Colts have officially hired lou An Arimo as 0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:41.200 their new DC. 0:47:41.680 --> 0:47:43.400 I like that move for them. I think that's exactly what. 0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:47.000 Ben Johnson officially in with the Detroit Lions. 0:47:47.320 --> 0:47:50.560 Yeah, and it sounds like the most recent Saints head 0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:53.919 coaches are likely to be the DC and special teams 0:47:53.960 --> 0:47:54.719 coordinator for him. 0:47:54.880 --> 0:47:59.040 Yeah, so they're going to the veteran route. Looks like 0:47:59.400 --> 0:48:01.480 Josh mcday aniel was going to return to New England 0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:04.239 as offensive coordinator with Oh really, yeah, there you go? 0:48:05.440 --> 0:48:07.400 Okay, I mean with Ray Boy. I guess that adds up. 0:48:07.480 --> 0:48:11.000 Yeah, yeah, Brian Schottenheimer is going to interview with the 0:48:11.040 --> 0:48:13.359 Cowboys for their head coaching position, for their head job. 0:48:13.440 --> 0:48:19.280 Okay, how about that? Yikes. The big one is Glenn 0:48:19.560 --> 0:48:21.480 is in New York with the Jets right now and 0:48:22.560 --> 0:48:24.319 Schefter and those guys are like, they're not gonna let 0:48:24.360 --> 0:48:25.520 them leave without a contract, you. 0:48:25.520 --> 0:48:27.759 Know, So maybe we get that news next. The Buccaneers 0:48:27.840 --> 0:48:30.360 also feel like Liam Cohen is going to get offered 0:48:30.360 --> 0:48:31.480 the Jaguars job. 0:48:31.920 --> 0:48:34.000 They brought There was three of them that they tried 0:48:34.080 --> 0:48:36.799 for a second interview. He's the only offensive minded one. 0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:39.360 It seems like that's there's going to be the choice 0:48:39.400 --> 0:48:41.920 for the Jags. That's hard on the Bucks though. You 0:48:42.280 --> 0:48:45.640 you lose an offensive coordinatory two years in a row, 0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:48.680 the chances you're going to hire the next one hit 0:48:48.719 --> 0:48:51.439 three in a row is a hire is pretty slim. Yeah. 0:48:51.440 --> 0:48:54.839 That hurts the Bucks bad. That does absolutely. So We'll 0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:56.839 continue to see what happens here with some of these 0:48:57.719 --> 0:49:00.960 changes that take place in guys moving around in the league. 0:49:00.760 --> 0:49:04.520 But there's probably a couple of things between now and tomorrow. 0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:06.439 That was one of the things that people talked about 0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:08.279 with Detroit did well. They were able to keep both 0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:10.920 of their coordinators. Well maybe not this year, but. 0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:13.760 They'll definitely lost one. And Glenn's a hot ticket because 0:49:13.760 --> 0:49:15.600 I know the Saints are heavily after him too. That's 0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:17.839 why the Jets want to lock the doors on him. Yeah, 0:49:18.040 --> 0:49:21.719 so we'll see if Campbell can overcome that. He's not 0:49:21.800 --> 0:49:22.280 a schemer. 0:49:22.920 --> 0:49:26.120 No, he is biting a kneecata right right, raw, raw guy. 0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:28.640 You know, I think they could be take a step back. 0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:30.640 And get some former Steelers on that staff. Maybe one 0:49:30.640 --> 0:49:31.560 of them will get. 0:49:31.840 --> 0:49:33.319 I wonder I play Randa l or one of those 0:49:33.320 --> 0:49:34.800 guys gets a bump. Yeah, they had a lot of 0:49:34.840 --> 0:49:37.680 former players on that team. Absolutely, so see where that goes. 0:49:38.200 --> 0:49:39.959 But Matt, that's going to do for the show today. 0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:44.080 Good good stuff absolutely for my partner, Matt Williamson.
