It was an interesting weekend for 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.280 the Cowboys. Here what these guys have to say about 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.760 the Cowboys and how they did this weekend in the draft. 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.200 We're gonna dive deep into a lot of the different 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.520 positions that were affected, particularly the cornerback position, where there's 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.279 been a lot of change here over the last several days. 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.600 And excited to be joined by my normal crew David Hellman, 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:28.360 Amber Garcia, Nick Eatman, how are you guys doing today? 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:32.840 And Hey, Derek, I'm great, awesome, good, good, Glad you 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.240 guys survived draft weekend. It was a busy weekend. We 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.680 had a lot going on. And I'll open the show 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.560 by asking each of you guys to give me just 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.399 I guess answered this one question, filling this blank for me, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.120 The Cowboys draft was a blank. I'm gonna start with you, 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:57.680 miss Garcia. Spectacular nice. No, I thought it was so great. Honestly, 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.880 I had my doubts, sue how the whole process was 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.680 gonna be, like, you know, I really thought it was 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.240 gonna be a mess. But no, and after they drafted 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.760 that first round or I know, we're gonna get into it. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:14.079 But the more we got through it, the better it got, 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.560 if that makes sense. You know, Like they did not 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:22.320 disappoint me one bit, Nick, I mean, it was just 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.880 there's quality. I would say they got quality in there 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.560 from top to bottom. You know, right now, everybody thinks 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.720 they had a great draft. But but you know, if 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.880 they did their board correctly, then they did have a 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.760 great draft. I mean, obviously they have a confidence in 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.000 the scouts, but um, I thought, like she said, I 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.480 thought when she drafted Ceedee Lamb, it was hard to 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.560 mess it up after that. Really, I don't know if 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.240 you could have messed it up, and they didn't. They 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.240 kept getting value picked, so they were true to their board. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:55.160 I thought that was really good. Hellman, it was exciting. 0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:00.280 It was so exciting. Um, I don't like, I don't 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.200 want to give out draft grades. I hesitate to like 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.440 say it's amazing draft class. Right now, I think it's 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.240 kind of ironic the twenty sixteen class that was so 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.480 amazing people were kind of on the fence about it 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.360 at the time. I mean, it's easy to forget that 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.600 a lot of people hated the Jaalen Smith pick. So 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.520 it makes me feel weird that everybody is convinced how 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.320 good this draft class is. Because I'm just a pessimist 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.680 by nature, but without having seen anybody actually play football, 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.320 it's a very exciting draft class. I feel really good 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.720 about what they were able to accomplish. All Right, so 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.600 we're gonna dive in. We're gonna go pick by pick. 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.280 I have some questions for you guys regarding each of 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.320 these players. Let's start with the first pick, Seedee Lamb. 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:46.720 Cowboys draft him as the first round number seventeen overall. 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.520 I said before the draft, I really was hoping if 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.120 one of the top two wide receivers, and I didn't 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.120 even put the top guy that was drafted at the 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.680 wide receiver position, Henry Ruggs. I didn't even list him 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.920 in that group. But if I said, if Judy or 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.400 if Lamb fell to the Cowboys, I would love for 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.800 him to take him by it happened Seedee Lamb drops 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.920 to them at number seventeen. So my question for you 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.120 guys is, how did a guys so highly ranked according 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.360 to most people's draft boards get to the Cowboys at seventeen? 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:20.440 Great freaking question. Honestly, I don't know. I don't understand it. 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.719 Because I do. I think he is the most well 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.040 rounded wide receiver in this class. I'm not just saying 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.479 that because the Cowboys picked him. You know, we talked 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.360 about it before we came on the air. Like Rugs 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.360 was the speed guy, Judy was the route guy. Lamb 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.000 has all of that, and he's dynamic with the ball 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.920 in his hands to boot. If you're looking for an 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.479 actual answer, I think it's probably the amount of really 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:48.000 good tackles in this class on top of quarterbacks. Obviously 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.560 you had three quarterbacks go in the top ten, and 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.800 then I'm counting it right now. I think there were, yeah, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.520 there were four offensive tackles that were drafted before the 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.640 Cowboys picked. A lot of need at the position and 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.120 a lot of quality there. I think that helped push 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.159 receivers down the board. That would be my scientific answer. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.120 I mean, obviously, if teams just have their you know, 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.360 their opinions. I think Dave said it best. I mean, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.760 the offensive tackles in the quarterbacks are premium positions as well. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.360 You know, there may not have been a strong need 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.599 for other teams at receivers. It just it just was 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.960 a deep draft all the way around. So I think 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.840 the Cowboys, as Jerry said a couple of days before 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.880 the draft, you know, I really liked the spot we're 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.480 in because they knew they were going to get a 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.880 good player. And I believe when they were able to 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.840 pick at seventeen, that was five or six players with 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.560 first round grade still on their board, so they were 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.760 sitting good there. But they just couldn't pass up Lamb, 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.279 who was rated, you know, higher than most on their board. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.400 You know, what was interesting to me, and this draft 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:57.640 is completely different for me because I'm following a completely 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.000 different way than I've done in the past, because I'm 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.520 somehow more invested into this time that I understand it 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.560 all better. But this time that I paid more attention 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.440 to all the positions and me more about the players. 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:16.560 I felt like there weren't many like flashy positions that 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.640 were being draft before the Cowboys. You know, like usually 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:26.880 you see those flash flashy position like quarterback, wide receiver, um, 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:32.080 then you know tackle. Do They usually draft a lot 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:36.040 of linemen, I mean on the top of each draft, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.279 if they're available, they do, but it's rare to see 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.880 so many with that high of a grade. To have 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.520 to have four that are worth picking in the top 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.159 fifteen is usually pretty rare. Well, that that was the 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.520 thing like to me when I was keeping up with it, 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.120 I was just like, jeez, I'm writing so many teas 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.720 on my piece of paper, you know, defensive tackles and 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:02.200 then tackles. So to me, that was kind of just surprising. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.760 I definitely did not expected to go down that way, 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.320 and clearly neither did the Cowboys because you can tell 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:13.080 after that during that press common friends how surprised everyone 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:17.080 was as to this guy following to their hands at 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.680 that point at the number seventeen, there was a ton 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.360 of conversation among the Cowboys brass before the pick was 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:29.640 made between Calevan Chason, who was a defensive end from LSU, 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:34.080 and then obviously Jerry I'm sorry, Ceedee Lamb at wide receiver. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.240 Do you think they made the right decision going with 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:41.840 the wide receiver over the defensive end? Yes, yes, yes, yes, 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.320 you're getting two. You're getting two players for one here. 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.280 Because you're just watching, We're okay, we're starting to see 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.160 the same place here. But I mean the punt returns 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.360 and the receiver you got. You got punt returner. You 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.360 got a receiver two needs for this team, and I 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.560 think he steps right in and plays. I think I 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.000 think the third receiver plays more than the third defensive 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.080 end or fourth or fifth. I mean, who knows if 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.280 he's where he's going to rank in there. I think 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.320 this was a better pick for him. I mean, I mean, 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.680 Cede Lamb is ready to go. I don't want to 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.440 put too much too much expectation on a rookie, but 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.480 you're not drafting, Yeah, you're not drafting this guy to 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.840 sit and he's gonna step right in and play. He 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.840 was the sixth player on the Cowboys board. He's a 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.640 consensus top ten player in terms of overall talent. I 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.480 think the world of Calevan Chason, but there's no denying 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:37.480 the boomer Bus potential. He's a tweener, he's got great athleticism. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.480 He needs to work on his strength and size. There's 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.200 absolutely no guarantee that he's going to translate to the NFL. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.600 Any player can bust, but I will be shocked if 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.200 Cede Lamb busts and it's just, you know, best player available. 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.680 I don't think it was even close. And if you 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.000 go back and listen to our draft show broadcast, I 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.160 was stressed that they were going to go with need 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.720 over best player available. I was very relieved and excited 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:07.200 when they didn't. Obviously, a third wide receiver in today's 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.080 NFL is by no means a just a luxury. It 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.360 is a guy that is essentially a starter because of 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.800 how much teams are playing eleven personnel. But that all 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.000 being said with a guy like Ceedee Lamb, who's as 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.920 highly touted as he is, the expectation that he's probably 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.400 going to be a starter. I would guess you guys 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.120 correct me if I'm wrong. How do you think this 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.600 affects Michael Gallop in the amount of playing time that 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.400 he gets and continues in this development, because we've seen 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.160 some really good things from him as well over his 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.400 first couple of years in the league. I don't think 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.560 he's starting over Gallup. I think he's the third receiver. 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.439 I think he's a punt returner. And you know, I 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.400 think they'll they'll figure it out, but they're not going 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.280 to come out and just say who's the starter. That 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.800 they might just put three receivers out there, But I 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.440 will say it's it's you should point out that ride receiver. 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.960 I mean, offense was a bigger need than people think. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.960 I think. You know, it's easy to say, well, they 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.960 were the number one ranked offense, but when the game 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:04.000 it's really mattered. The offense sucked at times and they 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.360 didn't score a touchdown and fill it, they didn't score 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.880 a touchdown in New England, they didn't score a touchdown 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.040 against Buffalo until the very end and garbage time. So 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.120 against the good defenses, they didn't play well at all. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.120 And so I think that there was a big need 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.959 for offense more than the stats would suggest. You know, 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.760 if I had one of those ding buttons that they 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.719 use on that show around the horn, I would give 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.520 you a lot of dings right there, because that was 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.440 a great point. It's serious, is a great point. I 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.200 was having that conversation with someone after the draft and 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:33.680 they were asking me what I thought of the pick, 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.760 and I was like, as much as people think this 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.840 offense is solidified, the fact is you look at a 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.920 third wide receiver in the NFL, and you look at 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.760 third wide receiver for the Cowboys. They needed a third 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.720 wide receiver number one. They also needed a playmaker, because 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.839 you're right, there were games this year where their best playmaker, 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.800 at least as the receivers are concerned, where he didn't 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.719 quite show up and give you what you needed. They 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.560 need another yet, and they needed another receiver, and to 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.880 get one of this caliber, I think it was a 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.800 definitely a need pick. This was the rare occasion where 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:07.160 need um and uh and and quality of the pit 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.280 both coincide. Right, Yeah, that's well, you're gonna see see 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:17.560 the lamb starting every away game instead of that's who 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.120 they're gonna plug in there. When a Marty Cooper goes 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:24.079 on the road. I was I think, you know, I 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.480 would guess like ninety five percent of people are on 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.559 board with this pick. But for the people that were 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.560 absolutely convinced that they needed to draft a defender, Yeah, Like, 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.839 I'm with y'all. I'm shocked at the number of people 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.240 who didn't see receiver as a huge need, Like they 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:43.440 didn't have one period, like Cedric Wilson was your starting slot, which, 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.720 like no disrespect to him, he's caught five passes in 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.760 his career. Um, I thought I was a huge need 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.000 and what a what an absurd value. I don't think it. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.240 I don't really think it affects Michael Gallop. I would 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.360 assume Gallop is still gonna be your starting Z receiver. 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.439 I pulled this up just for you, Derek. They ran 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:06.040 they ran sixty one percent of their plays with eleven personnel, 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.240 and that was with Jason Garrett, who is obsessed with 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:14.280 thirteen personnels. So I would imagine it's gonna go he does. So, 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.840 I think you can see the Cowboys running eleven personnel 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.040 anywhere between sixty and I don't know, sixty five sixty 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.200 six percent of their snaps. There's plenty of snaps to 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.080 go around for all three of the big receivers. You 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.600 know what I really like about these highlights we're seeing 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.360 with with Lamb is is he just after the catch. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.240 He's so good. Um, it reminds me a little bit 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.640 of Terrell Owens and that, you know, just catching the ball, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.880 get him an open field breaking tackles. This is probably 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.280 the best winner against Kansas State here where you know 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.800 he's just gonna make sure they scores a touchdown and 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.120 he's not gonna stop. I mean that that is a 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.559 good sign of a great punt returner as well, just 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.840 seeing the field and making people miss I think I 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.880 think he's gonna be a dynamic player because you don't 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.480 see that a lot with gallup and breaking a lot 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.720 of tackles in the open field like that. Yeah, I would. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.599 I would. I told someone that if they wanted to 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.760 get an idea of how good Ceedee Lamb is. Not 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.000 to say Texas had a good secondary, but go watch 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.520 that Texas LA I mean that Texas Oklahoma game last 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.959 year and there were times when Texas had two guys 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.559 on him and he just would split them. There was 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.760 one play I remember there was a touchdown. He caught 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:24.880 the ball. There's no reason why he should not have 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.960 been tackled. He was surrounded by defenders and somehow he 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.280 made his way out of that and was sprinting towards 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.920 the end zone. And again, it's not to say the 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.520 Texas is great, but certainly that's an indication of what 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.080 he's been doing to a lot of teams in college 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.200 football over the last couple of years. This was not 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.280 just against Texas. He's done that to a lot of teams. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.480 I was gonna say, there's even you know, there's some 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.920 critics that say he did most of it against big 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:49.400 twelve defenses, which don't have a great rep. He's done 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.880 it against everybody they've played. He was the only he 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.040 was the only member of Oklahoma's team that had a 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.160 good day against LSU. I think he had one hundred 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:01.199 and twenty yards. He's done it against basically everyone. I'm 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:07.280 not I'm not worried about consistency with him, but he 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.600 just had the most ridiculous catch I think in that 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.880 LSU game. I don't it's not in this highlight package, 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.240 but it's one of the better plays I think. You 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.800 know that I've seen all of last year, just going 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.080 up and getting the football concentration and everything you can 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.640 do it all. Talk about the wide receiver position. Beyond 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.440 those top three guys, you think the Cowboys need to 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.600 do more? Are you satisfied with the amount of depth 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.520 they have there? You know, at this point, after you 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.840 get to those three, you're looking at, you know, special 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.760 teams guys maybe in some development. I think they're in 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.000 good shape because they do have some younger guys that 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.160 that they like, that they you know, have held onto 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.280 they want to develop. For some reason. I can't think 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:54.360 of their names right now, so I can't Cedric Wilson, 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.800 That's the only one I can think of. John By Johnson. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.880 John By Johnson's still around. Who am I missing here? 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:07.240 Noah Brown is still hanging around? Why? That's my question? No, no, no, no, 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.000 And again, this is not a personal attack. No, listen, 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.360 this is not a personal attack on Noah Brown. This 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.080 is more of a situation where I personally believe Noah 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.760 Brown was a Garrett pit Cat. I would be shocked 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.120 if he doesn't have a good camp. I would be 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.840 shocked if he sticks around beyond training camp for this team. No. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.400 I agree with that. I completely agree with that. Yeah, 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.880 he was drafted by He was drafted by the last staff. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.600 To answer your question, I've always said he's got a 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.800 body type that they don't have a lot of on 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.400 this receiver corps. He's a big bodied guy, which helps 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.600 in blocking and also the type of you know, the 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.600 type of receiver you can play. He's I hate to 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.800 compare him to Dez, but he's, you know, that guy 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.960 that can go box out of dB like DESI used 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.160 to do. But yeah, I think, you know, if he's healthy, 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.560 which honestly, I haven't talked to know h since like 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.920 last December, but if he's healthy, yeah, he needs to 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.840 have a good camp. Devin Smith is another one. Obviously 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.920 he's still had. In my opinion, he's the best of 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.440 those guys that are left. I think, yeah, I would say, 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.840 I mean Devin Smith is the best combination of talent 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.960 and actual NFL production. I mean, injuries have really hampered 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.920 his career, but he has had good games in the NFL, 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:21.040 including last season. I can't knock their draft class because 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.160 they got such absurd value at all their picks, but 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.000 I was kind of hoping they would double up at receiver. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.600 There were a couple of guys hanging around there on 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:35.080 Day three, James of SMU and kJ Hill out of 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.880 Ohio State. They were there late, late in the draft. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.200 I was kind of hoping that they would take one 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.240 of them. But well, they got you a couple of 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.800 non drafted guys. Yeah, which, you know, we'll see what 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.440 they can do. I can't think of their names right now. 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.520 I know they got a guy out of like Rhode Island. 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:56.360 I think Parker. So see, you got Ken Drake's Ken 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:00.400 Drake Rogers from Texas A and M. And they Aaron 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:08.119 Parker from I can't even talk, Stephen gird Guidry Mississippi State, 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.359 probably Gidre something like that. But they got three guys. 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.840 I don't love the depth behind the top three, but 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:19.840 I liked the top three enough that I'm not super 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:24.679 worried about it. Hopefully they all stay healthy. Dave, who's 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:30.359 Tevin Jones? Who Tevin Jones? He's on the roster? Oh 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.920 my dude, I don't get damn. I'm supposed to cover 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:38.960 this team. Six six two hey, six two two twenty 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:43.359 five from Memphis? Is he an undrafted guy? No? He 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.479 was a I think he was a guy they signed 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.720 after the season he was a futures Yeah, that one 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.119 that went completely under my radar. Hey, I mean Devin 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:57.120 Smith was a futures contract last year. So every now 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.119 and then, those guys they signed in January will know 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.639 you something when they finally get to training camp. I 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.399 would not have been able to tell you that he 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.720 was on the team. So thank you for educating me. Well, 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.680 it's funny because you said they don't have a lot 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.479 of guys that look like Noah Brown. They have the 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.680 exact same measurables at six two two twenty five, So 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.119 get on, let's go. Yeah, and then you got you 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.120 got vient Tel Bryant. Not sure what his future will be, 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.320 but he was one of their better special teams players 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.280 last year. So yeah, I think we'll find out a 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:32.119 lot about this what this new coaching staff values at 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.880 a lot of these positions. Because the position that we'll 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:36.480 talk about next, and actually we're going to take a 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.040 break before we get into it, but the position we're 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.639 gonna talk about next, cornerback. There's been a lot of 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.320 change over the last week and a half with regards 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.160 to this position, and uh, and I'm and I think 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.200 it's becoming very apparent to everyone that this coaching staff 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:53.359 value is a specific characteristic or specific set of characteristics 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:55.639 that maybe they didn't have on this team before. And 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.560 we're gonna talk about what that means for the guys 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.639 who were here from last year as well as the 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.360 guys broad and we'll do all that when we come 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.800 right back.
