1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation. How we doing well? That's good

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: us too. Our number two here of the Drive on

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: a Monday, and let's do a little mock draft Monday.

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 3: All right?

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: You and Tyler were laughing at me. I mean, I

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: know that that's about as cheesy as cheesy can get, Okay,

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: but it rolls off the tongue nicely.

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I've used it many times over the years.

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: We've gotten some tweets from people like one, are the

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: mock drafts coming and all that stuff? And we'll get

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: more firmly entrenched into like actually going through the simulators

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: and stuff.

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: Is I just enough players? I mean, you get to

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: the fourth round stuff like I Sometimes Dale and I

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: would do it too early because I'd be like, is

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: there any safeties? I don't know any names, but like, like.

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: You and I could do a first round mock draft

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: pretty easily now, but I think it'll.

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: Be two rounds wouldn't be a problem.

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: And we'll do that at some point, maybe once or

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: twice before we get to the draft. But more so

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: bigger picture Senior Bowl Risers draft related conversation. We could

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: take a look over some of these post Senior Ball

26
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: mock drafts here.

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: I think the Senior Bowl Riser stuff is pretty topical with.

28
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: I do too, And I know, I know you spent

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: some time watching practices and doing some some some reaching.

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: Any names that stand out anywhere in particular there that

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: you want.

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: To start, No, but I was impressed across the board.

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe maybe nus Myers.

34
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you want to start with nus Meyer,

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: who I think.

36
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: He's kind of back to being what we thought he

37
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: was a year ago.

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: It's a good way to put it. I think of

39
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: all the quarterbacks, he had himself the best weekend. Yes,

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: And it's important to remember there were a few quarterbacks

41
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: who were not you know, full participants if you will,

42
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: because of injury related things. Right, So it's not like

43
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: there wasn't a terrible group of quarterbacks. It was not.

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: It's something that you kind of like, except for i'd

45
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: say Pavia.

46
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: Except for Pavia, I think, which again, he's just kind

47
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: of is what it is. You know, he's a good

48
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: college football quarterback who just has natural limitations. As it

49
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: relates to the NFL game.

50
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: But people don't understand the nust Meyer situation. So he's

51
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: gonna come up a lot with the Steelers. Probably is

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: like a round a day too guy, maybe even round two.

53
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: And McCarthy and his dad have serious ties. Steelers are

54
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: taking people off the Saints staff. His dad's on the

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: State staff. I mean, like a lot of people are

56
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: gonna know a ton about this dude. Obviously there's a need.

57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: A year ago, before the season, many of the experts

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: thought he was very much in the not only the

59
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: first round mix, but maybe top ten type of guy. Yeah,

60
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: maybe his first quarterback off the board. And not to

61
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: explain it away, but it sure does explain it away.

62
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: He had a pretty major core ab injury that he

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: played be tough guy, played all the way through it,

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 3: and I guess this past week in Mobile he addressed

65
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: it more as opposed to during the season. He did

66
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: the typical fine. Yeah, yeah, but he wasn't close to fine.

67
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: And not only could he not like torque his body

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: or you know, really generate the same power and balance

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: and strength you know that your core is needed, but

70
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: he also developed bad habits in order just to get

71
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: the football anyway. He could you know, like all the

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: fundamentals went out the window, and by all counts, you know,

73
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: Senior Bowl, he looked more like the guy pre injury,

74
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 3: you know, like he realized I was trying to get

75
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: my team to win, as these guys do, and.

76
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: A team that was struggling, a team that had a

77
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: poor offensive line, yeah, team that fired. He was getting

78
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: beat up, fired his head coach halfway through the season,

79
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: and Brian Kelly. It was not a great situation around him,

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: and he was dealing with that injury stuff. And so

81
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: I think there's there's there's a lot to deduce from.

82
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: You have to take this year with a grain of

83
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: salt for him, Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that certainly doesn't

84
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: mean still that he's worthy of a top ten, top

85
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: fifteen pick. No, But I also don't think you should

86
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: be looking at him and be like he's stinks, he's garbage,

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: he's terrible. I wouldn't touch him until the sixth round.

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: You can watch him this we're again week eight, like,

89
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: well yeah it was, that's not who you're getting though.

90
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, wasn't the best day for for Sawyer Robinson, who

91
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: we've talked about. I thought he struggled. He through an interception.

92
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: But North Dakota State's cold, pat very windy.

93
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 3: People should know, very windy.

94
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: That's that's a it was not good weather down there

95
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: in Mobile, Alabama, where typically is this time of year.

96
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: It could be a crapshoot. I've been down there fair amount,

97
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: but this was uncommonly cold, you know, like and it

98
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: really windy on game day.

99
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: But uh, Cole Peyton had a North Dakota State had

100
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: himself a good sat.

101
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: He made money this week. I think he definitely made

102
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: money this week.

103
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely. He Uh. It's funny to me because Nasmyer won

104
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: Senior Bowl MVP, but then they also do offensive and

105
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: defensive MVPs.

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: Right, and the quarterbacksually played like a quarter right.

107
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: And so Cole Peyton won offensive MVP, even though nuss

108
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: Meyer won Senior Bowl MVP. But still he had a

109
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: couple of big completions. He had a nineteen yard run.

110
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: No, he's got key, he can move here.

111
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: He's starting to he's starting to, uh to move up

112
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: the list a little bit. And then we saw a

113
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: little bit of Tailing Green who's still intriguing to me.

114
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: Eat up space with his stride. Zough. I mean he's

115
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 3: every bit of six six.

116
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: He's massive, and.

117
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: He had long limbs, and like a lot of these

118
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: guys will be like two strides for every five yards

119
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: give or take, he's like four yards astride. I mean

120
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: just when he opens it up, it's like whoa. And

121
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: he didn't rely on that. Sometimes he's really athletic. Quarterbacks

122
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: will go down there be like wow, just run it

123
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: look good, you know. But he hung in the pocket

124
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: all week and has some has some issues. But a

125
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: few people walking the planet that have what he has

126
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's gonna be a hit.

127
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: He just body type and everything reminds me of Cam Newton. Yeah,

128
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: when you see when he gets going.

129
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Milton and his size.

130
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm not like comping him to can, but just the

131
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: running ability, to body frame and when those guys get stride,

132
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: and you know, you get him into any open space

133
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: at all and they're dangerous.

134
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: Two three steps they get it first out right.

135
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: I bet you he could dunkle basketball very, very, very easily.

136
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: The quarterbacks I think across the board were successful.

137
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: I think so too. I think so too. And you

138
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: know what, somebody who you know, you can never accuse

139
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: me of being a homer, somebody that we have to discuss.

140
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: Is Kyle Lewis at a pit impressive? He's very intriguing

141
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: to me, Yes, because I mean, you know, being a

142
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: college football junkie from this area, backyard brall the last

143
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: few years. Man, he was an outstanding college football player.

144
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: He was a really good linebacker, and he had himself

145
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 2: a outstanding just all the practices everything Senior Bowl week.

146
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: The only thing though, is I don't think he's going

147
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: to play linebacker in the NFL. He just is too small.

148
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: How do you feel about those those hybrid guys, the

149
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: linebackers who transition to safety.

150
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: Well, now's the time to do it. I mean years ago,

151
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: you'd be a tweener the end up going to six round.

152
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do the special team or so.

153
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: Even like all my pit buddies, I asked him going

154
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: into Senior Bowl, tell me about them. They're like, he's

155
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: a stud, he makes tons of plays, but he's gonna

156
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: be too small.

157
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he could play linebacker in the NFL.

158
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: He was heavier than I thought. I think he was

159
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: like two twenty two, twenty two something like that. I'm

160
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: guessing they were. They implied that he'd be like two

161
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: a eight.

162
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: Well maybe he plays it, you know.

163
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's gonna too ten. And they, folks,

164
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: if you have if you're doing to show, they'll manipulate

165
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: their heights, their weight, not their heights, their their weights

166
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: for the combine.

167
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: And or some of these big offensive linemen that you're like,

168
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: he might be too heavy, they'll come into the combine

169
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: ten fifteen pounds lighter. But that's almost they play. As

170
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: soon as March rolls around, they'll put that weight.

171
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 3: Back on or they cut the run and then yeah,

172
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: then they fall back up for their protoce so they

173
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: look good, you know. So there is some manipulation involved.

174
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: But what he needs to prove to people, which I

175
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: don't know if he has yet or not, but at

176
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: least he's taken the right steps, is can he be

177
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: the Nmari type playmaker wise, yes, speed, athleticism, it seems yes.

178
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: Now that's high praise. I mean, I've watched more Anari lately.

179
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: You're a big fan there on the Super Bowl. I mean,

180
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: he's a pivotal, pivotal player for them, Like in that

181
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: game against the Rams, they left him a man covered

182
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: against the wante Adam, you know, like that's asking a

183
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: lot for a dude. There was a linebacker pit last year,

184
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: but I think he's the second rounder all day long.

185
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: I mean, he somehow they'll use him in some way,

186
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: shape or form, and he wouldn't be the smallest linebacker

187
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: in the league either. Maybe not every down guy. Maybe

188
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: he's a dime linebacker, maybe he's like an overhang guy.

189
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: But if he can prove to be the big slot

190
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: that everybody wants, he's he looks like this year's version,

191
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: if there.

192
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: Is one, he's going to be very interesting where he

193
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: ends up before go down there time hey, and some

194
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: of those those one on one drills, he looked really

195
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: good in coverage, which you know that's gonna help his

196
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: case in terms of making that transition to the to

197
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: the second day.

198
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: Are so hard on linebackers too, Like you got to

199
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: cover the whole field.

200
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: You've got twenty acres of space to cover a tight

201
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: end or a wide receiver.

202
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: I think Daniel Jeremiah was when I was watching the broadcast,

203
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: made the comparison. It's like a soccer goalie in a

204
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: penalty shot. Yeah, I'm just gonna dive left and hope

205
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm right.

206
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: I don't know, even if you guess right, you still still.

207
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 3: Making the save or you know, getting a PVU or

208
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: yeah uh.

209
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: And then kind of last Senior Bowl specific thing that

210
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 2: I wanted to throw at you, Mat unless you had

211
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: anything for me too. I like this interior. I'm starting

212
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: to like this interior defensive line class. Yeah, and I

213
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 2: know we've talked about some of these guys are some

214
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: of identifying a person like that for the Steelers defensive

215
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: line group, man Lee Hunter out of Texas Tech. He's

216
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: probably gonna be a first round pass so he's probably

217
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 2: a first a little too rich. But Bryson Easton from Tennessee,

218
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: I thought, was really, you know, one of those guys

219
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: that seems like he could be a top one hundred

220
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: pick in that range where the Steelers have five c.

221
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 3: He made money for himself this week.

222
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 2: I think, hey, round one quarterback, wide receiver, something in that,

223
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: you know that nature. But soon after that, I'm starting

224
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: to warm up to these these defensive linemen in this

225
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: class too.

226
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, me too. I think there's quite a few of them.

227
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: The Michigan dude looked really good. The Florida kid looked

228
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: really good. Both of them have a lot of ability

229
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: especially the Florida guy. He's one of these dudes and

230
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: he's keep his pads down rep after rep. But when

231
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: he's right, it's a wow factor. So it wouldn't shock Caleb. Yeah,

232
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 3: it wouldn't shock me. At the Steelers went big d

233
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: tackle on Day two. At some point, you remember they're

234
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: gonna have probably four Day two picks. Why not. I

235
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 3: think that makes a ton of sense. Maybe even free

236
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: agency goes to the point where you consider him the

237
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: first round. I don't know. I mean, it doesn't take

238
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: a lot of convincing to me to another d tackle.

239
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: I'm always going to be greedy. There. There was a

240
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: lot of good receivers. Small school kids were.

241
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: The guy from John Carroll Carroll, Yeah, tyro In Montgomery.

242
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have some crazy backgrounds if kids were really good.

243
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: If Montgomery gets drafted, he will be the first Division

244
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 2: three wide receiver to be drafted since Pierre Garson in

245
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight.

246
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: Okay, and he's going to get drafted. I mean he's.

247
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: Will Yeah, yeah, I think he will a lot.

248
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 3: It's a really good receiver class.

249
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: I like those mid round receivers too. Virgil out of

250
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, Ted Hurst out of Georgia State. Yeah, I

251
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: think there's some some.

252
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 3: Real estate I called South Carolina some.

253
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: Some some real options there. And that's what we want

254
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: this time of year. You want more options on the board.

255
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: You want the positions of need to feel like they're

256
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: getting deeper.

257
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, just get more and more names in the hat

258
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: that I didn't know about, you know, that's the way

259
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: I look at I.

260
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: Feel better about quarterback, I feel better about wide receiver.

261
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: I feel better about defensive line.

262
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: Yes.

263
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: In kind of the post Senior Bowl haste here if

264
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: you will.

265
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: A couple of them were. One of them centers, the

266
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: Kansas dude, but there was a handful of offensive linemen

267
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: like Ooh, I wouldn't mind working with him either. The

268
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: kid from Arizona State whose name is hard to say is.

269
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: Max something I guess. Yeah, his last.

270
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: Name is such a ball clay that I would love

271
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: to work with for you know, maybe plays guard for

272
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: a year and then he's your left tackle. Who knows,

273
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: but I'd love to get a hold of him. But

274
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: he's going like top fifty.

275
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: You need you need some of those guys. With the

276
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: lack of second round pick last year, weren't able to

277
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: supplement that offensive line. I seriously doubt with thirteen picks

278
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: this year that will be the case once again.

279
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: No, no, they'll draft at least one.

280
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: Real quick shout out to to TV. But it does

281
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: sound like the Browns are being pegged to play the

282
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: Saints in that game of peg.

283
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: Not exactly a barn Burner event.

284
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: We are not sending our best and our finest over

285
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: there at the Patty. Maybe we're doing that on purpose.

286
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: He meant, just a break. That's two years in a

287
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: row that they'll be had an overseas.

288
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: That's kind of in away game for the Browns too,

289
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: I believe Correc because wasn't there one against It'll be.

290
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: The same as a Steeler so was home. Then they'll

291
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: be away next year.

292
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, gotcha. But yeah they did London last year,

293
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: the Browns did. Now they're now they're now they're off

294
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: the Paris. They're just doing a little little European tour,

295
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: little little Olympic tour there for the all the past,

296
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: all the past Olympic cities that they're checking out there

297
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: to the Cleveland Browns. But yeah, so sounds like that

298
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: is off. That sounds like that's gonna be in late

299
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: October and it will be the Browns heading on the

300
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: road to face the Saints. Matt more draft conversation. We

301
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: got to have that explosive play, differential conversations. They're all

302
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: along here. Yeah, So we've got plenty to do, more

303
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: teas to cross and eyes to dot before we get

304
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: out of here. In our number two on the Drive

00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and especially now with just the backdrop of a

314
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: new Stealer's era, because we knew be looking for you,

315
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: We knew so much about how the previous regime operated,

316
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: learning how to think because those around you think, yeah,

317
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: now you can put all that the rest, wipe that

318
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: slate clean, and here we go for a new regime.

319
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of fun here these following

320
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: weeks and months.

321
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: And be a fun mixing the new needs and desires

322
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: of the schemes and coaches with the ways that won't change,

323
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: you know, like we still know character and leadership and

324
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: things that are the front office and ownership value are

325
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: going to be as important when their scouting players do

326
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: and that type of thing, But not any more receivers

327
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: any you know different. Are they gonna be more in

328
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: the market for one of those big slots like we

329
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: just talked about, maybe this defense will I don't know.

330
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun. It's a lot of what

331
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: if because we don't know, and we're going to get

332
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: closer and closer to kind of piece in the whole

333
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: thing together as we roll along here. Matt, with that,

334
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: I thought we would take a look Matt Miller of ESPN,

335
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: he was down at the Senior Bowl and he did

336
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: a two round post Senior Bowl pre combine mock draft.

337
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: I thought it would be fun to roll through this.

338
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

339
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: See, like we don't need to spend a ton of

340
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: time on all these names. Especially Hey, spoiler alert, he's

341
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: got Mendoza going first over all of the Raiders. I

342
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: don't think that takes a lot of discussion or debate

343
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: at this point. But let's see, let's see take a

344
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: look here on this mock draft Monday at kind of

345
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: some post senior ball thoughts here. As we roll into

346
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: the month of February, Mendoza number one to the Raiders,

347
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: No shocker, RVL reeves continuing to see him pop up

348
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: at number two to the Jets.

349
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: You thought it'd be shocky, but I think it could

350
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: be pretty common.

351
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: You think by the time we get to April that

352
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: that's like ninety people are mocking REGs.

353
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: I don't think they need to tackle, So give me

354
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: best defensive player available type thing, and I think that's him.

355
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: If the quarterback of the future isn't there at pick two,

356
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: which we don't think there it is.

357
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: I can't imagine Simpson or not Spayer or somebody like

358
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 3: that gaining enough scene to get that high in the draft.

359
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: As we've mentioned a few times, we've talked about the

360
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: Jets offensive line feels like one of the few strengths

361
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: that they actually have, that they've got some nice, young,

362
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: ascending pieces there. Go and get your playmaker on defense.

363
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: I think that that makes a lot of sense. Cardinals

364
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: at three, Francis my Aga offensive tackle out of Miami

365
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: out of the Chalky or not.

366
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: But it wouldn't shock me if it's pretty common. Because

367
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 3: Paris Johnson the left hand.

368
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: I was going to say, there's other tackle.

369
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 3: Prospects, but if you really think about it, I would

370
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: rather have my AGA for the Cardinals.

371
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: Put him on the right side, much more physical and

372
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: there's some penay soul vibes there. You. Yes, yes, I

373
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: think that makes a lot of sense as well. First

374
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: one that kind of was like, oh, number four, Tennessee Titans,

375
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: fourth overall, Reuben Bain Junior, the edge rusher out of Miami.

376
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: They could use it, but be a good d line.

377
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: I think he's a top ten pick without a doubt,

378
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: but four is probably the highest I've seen him mocked

379
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 2: so far.

380
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: I've seen him one. Someone put him to the Jets

381
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 3: at two one. I thought, boy, that's pretty crazy, But

382
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: I mean this could be the neighborhood he starts.

383
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: To, Oh absolutely, yeah, absolutely. I just wondered if the

384
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: Titans there at pick four, you've got your choice basically

385
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 2: of any wide receiver. Interesting, yeah, where at pick five

386
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: they have Carnell Tait, wide receiver Ohio State, as the

387
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 2: first wide receiver to come off the board to the Giants. Man,

388
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: if you paired him with neighbors, that would be a

389
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: really nice one two punch.

390
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm all for that for the Giants. If you're

391
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: trying to make darts life as easy as possible, give

392
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 3: him one more playmaker than you really need, and that

393
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: would be it.

394
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: Number six the Cleveland Browns. I know that this would

395
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: be music to Matt's ears. The Browns finally addressed the

396
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: Trenches what they failed to do last year. They take

397
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: Spencer Fanu out of Utah, the tackle versatility he played

398
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: both left and right as a three year starter. I

399
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: don't know how they can I think. I think of

400
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: all the aside from the like, I think Rvl Rees

401
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: and Caleb Downs have point zero zero one percent bust potential,

402
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I don't know

403
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 2: if they're going to be perennial All Pro future Hall

404
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: of Fame, right, but I think at worse, they're going

405
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: to be like B plus. It's the same thing that

406
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: I would that I told you about Zach Frasier. I

407
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: don't know how great this guy can be, but I'm

408
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: very confident he's going to play for ten years and

409
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: have a really nice NFL career. Like a side of

410
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: those two Ohio State defenders, Fanu might be the one

411
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: that I think is the safest safe bet.

412
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see that.

413
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: Like I think he's going to be at worse a

414
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: B plus offensive tackle for you know, for a decade.

415
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: Which in this draft it's not real top heavy. You

416
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 3: take that all day long. At five six seven in

417
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: this neighborhood.

418
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: And speaking of Caleb Downs, they have him going seventh

419
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: overall to the Commanders.

420
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: Wow, that's early. First, it's as early as you'll see

421
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 3: a safety go. But in this class, that's another team

422
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: that doesn't probably need tackle.

423
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 2: Somebody, They just need a playmaker on defense like rvl

424
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: Reese would be perfect for them there. But I don't

425
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: think he's lasting until pick seven.

426
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: I don't. I can't imagine gets past the Titans.

427
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: Number eight, the New Orleans Saints select Jeremiah Love, running

428
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: back out of Notre Dame.

429
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 3: You see him go here or to the page or

430
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 3: to the Chiefs. To the chief he might be the

431
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 3: best player in draft.

432
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: He very well could be. He's another one of those

433
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 2: I think and running he's going to be good. Running

434
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: Backs are a different conversation because their career life. Their

435
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: shelf life isn't as long as other positions. But I

436
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 2: think he's going to be good.

437
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: A huge key here that a new way I think

438
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: people should and are starting to value the running backs

439
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 3: is explosives. If I can give it to a back

440
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: that can generate his own explosive, he's worth a lot

441
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 3: more than modern day drum beats. You know what I

442
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: mean that that styp Yeah, you know what I mean. Absolutely,

443
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: Bush would be a little more valuable now than that.

444
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 3: You know, they like the running back don't matter, It

445
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: doesn't matter the thing. But if explosives or anything that

446
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 3: matters Gibbs, Yeah, yeah, if I can get a guy

447
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 3: that can create his own explosives like Walker's been doing

448
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: for Seattle, you know.

449
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: Number nine, The Kansas City Chiefs select David Bailey, the

450
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: other of the top ten edge picks out of.

451
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 3: Tex He stabbled with first round picks with edge over

452
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: and over, but they're always heavier run stuffer types. This

453
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: guy's an edge bender.

454
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: He's a Yeah, he's a he's a he's a go

455
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 2: get him sack guy. He Matt tied for the lead

456
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: in sacks and college football last year. Yeah, and he

457
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: their last game of the season in Morgantown against WU

458
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: I think he played the first series and that was it.

459
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: He probably could have got because it was like.

460
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: They were up fourteen to nothing in about ten seconds

461
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: on the Mountaineers and it was like, okay, let's he

462
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: got the big took championship game next week. It's some

463
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: bigger fish to fry. And I think he was listed

464
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: with like a It's something something rib or something that week.

465
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: Fourteen and a half sacks in eleven game games for him,

466
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: basically pretty pretty good. Bengals at pick pick pick number ten,

467
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: they go man sore Delaney, the corner, the lsu Oh no, no,

468
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: I've seen him top ten. I've seen him in the twenties.

469
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: He's an interesting one.

470
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, some of the corners need to kind of shape.

471
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 3: I mean, we sold a lot of time, but the

472
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 3: pecking order of the top three or four corners seems

473
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: to be kind of up in the.

474
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: Up in the air. Yeah, Dolphins at eleven, go with

475
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: another one of those corners, Gerard or Jermaud part of

476
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: me McCoy out of Tennessee, who didn't play this entire

477
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: past year because of an ACL injury.

478
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: I see he's kind of mucking up that process too,

479
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: because people just don't quite know.

480
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: What he is.

481
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: His freshman year was very impressive. His sophomore year he

482
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: might have been the best corner in the SEC, but

483
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: was obviously not draft eligible. Then this past year tears

484
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: his acl early in the process.

485
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: But he could have two first on corners. They could

486
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 3: quite good too.

487
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 2: His twenty twenty four tape is crazy impressive. So how

488
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 2: much will they, you know, lean on that verse coming

489
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 2: off the injury.

490
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 3: I just know how this works. I don't know what

491
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 3: his timeline is, but if he can show it, the

492
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 3: combine that he's not a medical reject in any way,

493
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: you know, does all the drills looks good? Maybe he's

494
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: even like, oh it's a third overall pick, they grab it. Yes,

495
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 3: the best corner draft, you know, right?

496
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: Yes? Hey, Jamar Chase and Micah Parsons, Now they weren't

497
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: injury related, they were COVID related, but they both skipped

498
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: the year and what Chase went fifth? Yeah, Persons eleven

499
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 2: or twelve something like that, So yeah, certainly precedent for it.

500
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 2: The Cowboys at twelve, they take Sonny Styles, the off

501
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 2: ball linebacker from Too. He's another one dynamic man be

502
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: shocked if he busts as well. Same same There's a

503
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 2: lot of off the ball linebackers. You've mentioned that before.

504
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: How this is a strong class in that regard.

505
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 3: I could see three or four in the first round.

506
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: Speaking of the two first round corners from tennessee the

507
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: Rams at pick thirteen. Remember that's the Atlanta Falcons pick

508
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: that they own. They select Colton Hood, the other talented

509
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: defensive back from the Valls. There fourteen. The Ravens, in

510
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: their new era, select Jordan Tyson, the wide receiver out

511
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: of Arizona State, who I really like.

512
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 3: It would be pretty good value too.

513
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: That'd be pretty good value.

514
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 3: You great a need for them because I don't think

515
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: they're gonna be as tight end centric as people think.

516
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: And Flowers and Bateman's hard to count on. Yeah, big

517
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: bodied receiver.

518
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 2: It'd be a nice uh you know, if Lamar is

519
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 2: kind of looking around at maybe some potential other opportunities,

520
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: that'd be a nice Hey, the grass is still green here.

521
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: Look at this shiny wide receiver toy with another cornerback

522
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: goes off the board at fifteen to the Bucks. Brandon

523
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: Cis out of South Carolina.

524
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: That's the oliest I've seen him go.

525
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: Yep, that's the earliest i've seen him go to He's

526
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: a first round mock guy that there's gonna be. There

527
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: could be four or five corners taken in the first round,

528
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: and we know that's a position of need. It is

529
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: pretty much around the NFL and definitely for Tampa. Sixteen

530
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: third wide receiver off the board, Malachi Lemon from USC

531
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: goes to the Jets. There, that's the Sauce Gardner pick

532
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: for New York seven. Third edge rusher off the board,

533
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: Keldric Falk out of Auburn. He's the I think perennial

534
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 2: third edge rusher on everybody's big board.

535
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's safe.

536
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: I think he'll be a top twenty ish pick.

537
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: Body beautiful, Yeah, oh yeah.

538
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: Six six, like two eighty two ninety. He's he's the

539
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: edge rusher you create in Madden when you're when you're

540
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 2: creating a pro eight.

541
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 3: Coaches will fall in love with him the next month

542
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 3: or two.

543
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: Two eighteen Minnesota Vikings second safety nickel slot hybrid type guy,

544
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: Emmanuel McNeil Warren out of Toledo.

545
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I need to watch this would learn more about him.

546
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: But right.

547
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: It'd also be the second time in three years that

548
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: Toledo has had a defensive back drafted in the first round.

549
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mitchell did.

550
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: Really Mitchell two years ago has been outstanding.

551
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 3: Most guys have this guy as a first rounder.

552
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: First intier offensive lineman to go off the board Carolina

553
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 2: Panthers at nineteen. Take Ione is his last name. His

554
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 2: first name is.

555
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 3: A mouthful pen sate.

556
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: Olie above, I believe is how he pronounces his first name.

557
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 2: But he's the Penn State guard. He's the first interior

558
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: offensive lineman to go off the board at nineteen. Cowboys

559
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: go t J. Parker, edge rusher from Clemson. That's the

560
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: that's the Michael Parsons pick. He's really good in run defense.

561
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 3: Yes, powerful.

562
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not the pure, you know, get your seventeen

563
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: sacks a season guy, but he's really good at setting

564
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: that edge and you're really good at the run game.

565
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: And another cornerback, Matt which this would be the fourth

566
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: or the fifth Avon Terrell. AJ Terrell's younger brother out

567
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: of Clemson. Mock to the Steelers at twenty one.

568
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: If they don't do anything with Pierre or Samuel, well,

569
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 3: then then that's a huge I mean, as as the

570
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 3: roster is constructed today, that's a pretty it's a glaring need.

571
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 3: I think there's receivers out there I would take ahead

572
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: of them all things considered.

573
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: I think so too. And hey, if you plug him

574
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 2: next to a Joey Porter junior, you could be set

575
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: at corner for the next.

576
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be nice to have that size thieves, you know,

577
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 3: you know, that kind of pedigree would go, would be

578
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: something that's very desirable.

579
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 2: But you're right. With some wide receivers still on the board,

580
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: namely Denzel Boston out of Washington, I'd be intrigued, right yeah.

581
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: Cole Cepsion twenty two, the Chargers take Caleb Banks, defensive

582
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: tackle out of Florida, who you just mentioned in the

583
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: previous segment.

584
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: Kay, there's some inconsistencies, but nasty six six three forty.

585
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need to in some Vita A comps there.

586
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: The Eagles go tight end Kenyon Sadik out of Oregon.

587
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 2: He's interesting. I don't think he's quite Tyler Warren or

588
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 2: Colson Loveland, but man, he's he's first round worthy. Certainly

589
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: I'm a big Goddard fan.

590
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 3: But he's been rumored to maybe not be back the

591
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 3: last year or two as well, when.

592
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: He's turning thirty one. Yeah, and he's just been pretty

593
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 2: banged up as of as of late. Yes, but that'd

594
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: be a nice middle of the field playmaker for that

595
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: offense for sure. Twenty four the Cleveland Browns. That's the

596
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars pick from last year. They take Denzel Boston

597
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: wide receiver out of Washington.

598
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 3: Line's a massive the.

599
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: Faunu and and Denzel Boston Boston with their first two pick.

600
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: Good start.

601
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: That's a real good start.

602
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: For them, and that's how I'd start building the nest.

603
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: Another edge rusher, Matt Zion Young out of Missouri goes

604
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: twenty fifth.

605
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: To the Pari this week too.

606
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: The guy who we just discussed, Casey con Sefchion wide

607
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: receiver out of Texas, A and M. He goes to

608
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills at twenty sevens and they continue to

609
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 2: try and find take a bite that apple. Right, It's

610
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: like we've talked about, you might like with the quarterback conversation,

611
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: you might step up to the plate and strike out.

612
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: Still got to step back up to the plate. Yeah,

613
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: you go to find that wide receiver if you're Buffalo.

614
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 3: You'll put somebody out there.

615
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: The other bookend for Utah on the offensive line, Caleb Lomu.

616
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 2: He goes twenty seventh overall for the forty nine ers

617
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: I've heard of.

618
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: We will think that he has more upside. He's not

619
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: as polished as I right now, but you get a

620
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: little lighter on his feet, a little bit better athlete.

621
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: He was the one that started at left tackle for

622
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: the last two years for Utah, so Fanus started it

623
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: right side and then his sophomore year and then junior

624
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: senior year. Part of me I got that backwards. Yeah,

625
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: Fawnu started left side and then finished right and Lomu

626
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: was kind of the one on the left side that

627
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: they left Fawnu on the right because of.

628
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 3: He good enough to make them have him move.

629
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you two first round tackles, you see

630
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: why Utah ran for like two hundred and forty yards

631
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: game and they led college football last season. Yeah. Another

632
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: offensive tackle, Blake Miller out of Clemson. Man, that'd be

633
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: three first round picks for Clemson. Blake Miller goes twenty

634
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: eighth to the Houston Texans twenty ninth the Rams original

635
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: pick Monroe Feeling another offensive tackle out of Georgia.

636
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 3: Keep an eye on him. Here's a predictions.

637
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: He a riser.

638
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when he starts getting his last few games

639
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: at Georgia were unbelievably good. He was super raw, like

640
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 3: a Roderck Jones or a Mems at Georgia. And when

641
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: it comes combine time, he might be first tackle off

642
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: the board.

643
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: Remember that name number thirty Anthony Hill, junior linebacker out

644
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: of Texas, one of those off ball linebackers, as we discussed,

645
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: goes to the Broncos thirty one Patriots Seahawks. You know

646
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: that's gonna flip. But Patriots thirty one Cashius Howe, edge

647
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: rusher out of Texas, and man, that'd be like six,

648
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: like six or seven edge dudes in the first round.

649
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it. It's a premium position. And

650
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: then thirty two last, but certainly not least. We referenced

651
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 2: him in our Senior Bowl conversation a few minutes ago.

652
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: Malachai Field's the wide receiver out of Notre Dame.

653
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: One of the cups up in age and all that.

654
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: One of your line that makes sense, but fields in

655
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: the first rounds first, I've seen people take that jump.

656
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: One of the big risers from the Senior Bowl.

657
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he people might remember him. He destroyed Pitt

658
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: in that pit. Nu, Yes, he did destroyed him.

659
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: Yes, he did seven catches ninety nine yards and two

660
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: touchdowns in that at Akroscher Stadium. That's Pitt.

661
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 3: Yes.

662
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: And then into the second round here, Matt, we can

663
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: just kind of churn through through a couple of these.

664
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

665
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: Kaden McDonald, the defensive tackle from Ohio State, leads the

666
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: way to the Jets. Another wide receiver, Jeremy Bernard out

667
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: of Alabama goes to the Cardinals. A lot of receivers

668
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: to pick from. Caden Proctor, the big offensive tackle as

669
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: we've discussed from Alabama. He goes with the Titans at

670
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: thirty five. A key messidor another one of these edge

671
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: guys that we've discussed out of Miami. Former West Virginia

672
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: Mountaineer before he got the bag to head to South Beach.

673
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: It's a good place to go if you're getting a

674
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: bag out here. He goes with the Raiders. Thirty sixth

675
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: D'Angelo Ponds, the corner out of Indiana. Just a pure

676
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: playmaker man. He's short, but he is just a playmaker.

677
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: Thirty seventh to the Giants. Dylan Fenneman, the safety out

678
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: of Oregon. Remember we talked a lot about how Oregon

679
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: could be much better next year and how like there

680
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: might only be one or two first round picks on

681
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: that Oregon roster. He was one of the other ones

682
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: that we potentially discussed fifty. He is one of those

683
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: one of those hybrid types that we've discussed that that

684
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: NFL defenses love nowadays. They've got him going thirty eighth

685
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: overall to the Texans. Go Jake Golladay, Cincinnati linebacker to

686
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: pair with with Carsion Sweessinger.

687
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: Another Bush is a free agent, and.

688
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: Bush is a free agent, and he could get a

689
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: nice payday somewhere after the season that he had. Chiefs

690
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: go Kamari Ramsey, safety out of USC at fortieth overall.

691
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: So they have the Chiefs going defense defense with their

692
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: with their first two picks. Here Peter Woods, defensive tackle

693
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: from Clemson. He was a guy who came into the

694
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: year with a lot of first round.

695
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: Time and Clemson guys kind of disappointed.

696
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: He goes forty first overall to the Bengals. Saints go

697
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: Antonio Williams, wide receiver out of Clemson. At forty two

698
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. Another wide receiver, Amari Cooper, junior national champion

699
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: at Indiana, goes forty three to Miami. Second quarterback off

700
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: the board, Matt All the way at pick forty four,

701
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: Ty Simpson, Alabama, The Jets take him with a that's

702
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: the Quinn Williams second round pick from the Cowboys.

703
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 3: Oh okay, hey, that's well worth that point, right, So.

704
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: You know where I'm going with this. If it's picked

705
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: forty three and the Dolphins are on the board and

706
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: there's still only Fernando Mendos off the off the board,

707
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 2: would that be Would that be a conversation you'd be

708
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: willing to have, yes for Simpson or it could be

709
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: somebody else by the time we get things.

710
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: I just don't know enough about Simpson yet. If there

711
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: is somebody else that I like enough for sure, and

712
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: history shows that it won't be that big a gap,

713
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: I mean.

714
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: I'd be shocked if there's not a second for a

715
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart type somewhere in the twenty.

716
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: Trades with a playoff team. I mean, it happens all

717
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: the time.

718
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 2: It happens all the time. But in this in this

719
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: post senior ball mock ty Simpson QB two not until pick.

720
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: Fifty trades four, which yeah, makes sense too.

721
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ravens at forty five go lt Overton, edge rusher

722
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: out of Alabama. Bucks at forty six c J. Allen,

723
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 2: linebacker out at Georgia. This is about the range I think.

724
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: I think we'd see a lot of linebackers in this range.

725
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: Our Mason Thomas sounds like a law firm. Goes forty seven,

726
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: the edge rusher out of Oklahoma to the Colts. He's

727
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: real quick. He's got some herbig vibes. Okay, he's got

728
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: some herbig vibes. He's not the biggest frame edge rusher guy,

729
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: but he is twitchy and quick off the line. Man

730
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: forty eight. The Falcons take Eli Stower's second tight end

731
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: off the board. He's out of Vanderbilt. Some comps to

732
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: Harold Fannin for him in this year's draft. Vikings at

733
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: forty nine go Lee Hunter, the defensive tackle out of

734
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: Texas Tech that we just discussed. Man, if he lasted

735
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: that close to pick fifty, that would surprise me. I

736
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: think he's closer to pick thirty two than he is

737
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 2: to pick fifty. Yes, but this is not my mock draft.

738
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: Also another one that we just talked about a few

739
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: minutes ago, Max e Ntchore. I believe is how he

740
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: pronounces his last name. But he's the offensive tackle prospect

741
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 2: that you're like, man, if I could get him at

742
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: the right spot.

743
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: People start mocking him. At the end of the first rounds.

744
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: He goes fiftieth overall to the Lions. Man, that would

745
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: be a steal for the Lions, whether Taylor Decker retires

746
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 2: or you could just kind of have him waiting in

747
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: the wings. Fifty one, the Panthers take Keith Abney, the

748
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: second cornerback out of Arizona State. Man feels like a

749
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: lot of Corners edge rushers here in the in the

750
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: first fifty picks fifty one picks or so fifty two

751
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers they you know, replace I guess they're

752
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 2: Kenny Clark replacement, if you will. Kristin Miller, defensive tackle

753
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: out of Georgia at pick fifty two, and then remember

754
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: Matt In this exercise, it was Terrell out of Clemson

755
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: the corner to the Steelers at twenty one. Steelers go

756
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: and get their wide receiver here Zachariah Branch fifty third

757
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 2: out of Georgia.

758
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 3: I've seen him mocked to the Steelers in the first round. Yeah,

759
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: I mean there's a ton of receivers, so there's that.

760
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 3: That is the argument to wave you maybe wait till

761
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: the second round if you can get someone that's yeah,

762
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 3: that high on your board still because such a rich position.

763
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 2: But he's five ten and eighty pounds. Yeah, there'd be

764
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: some some peanut butter and jelly with d K metcalf there. Like,

765
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: I know you've talked a lot about wanting two big

766
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: body wide receivers.

767
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: Little guys are starting to really fall out of favor

768
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 3: in that position right now.

769
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: And he's five ten buck eighty, but he's that cerebral

770
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: kind of route runner, you know, separation guy.

771
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: And you might have signed one in free agency too.

772
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Maybe you bring in one of those

773
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: big body guys in free agency. But he had eighty

774
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: one receptions, oh a little over eight hundred yards six

775
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: touchdowns last year at Georgia. I think he's gonna test

776
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: well and gonna be one of those names that I

777
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 2: would imagine that's gonna jump off like that into into

778
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 2: conversation here taking a look at the rest of the

779
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: the second round, Matt. You know, a couple more corners

780
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: and guards go off the board here. First, center Logan

781
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: James Jones, part of me out of Iowa, goes fifty

782
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: eighth to San Francisco. The other Notre Dame running back

783
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: Jadarian Prince, goes fifty ninth to Houston.

784
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 3: Could be the second back off the board.

785
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, could be the second back. Which wouldn't that be

786
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: crazy if? Yeah, the top two running backs off the

787
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: board were from the same school. A guy that I

788
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: really like that I would say is flying under the radar,

789
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: But he started to pick up some buzz at the

790
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: Senior Bowl and I think will only continue to do so.

791
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez.

792
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 3: He makes a million plays, this dude, Matt.

793
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: I haven't seen a playmaker with a nose for the

794
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 2: ball like him in a long time.

795
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 3: I don't think he'll test great. He makes a million plays.

796
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: But just this past season, one year alone, seven forced fumbles,

797
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: four interceptions, scored, three touchdowns, two on defense, one on offense.

798
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 2: They would actually he he scored. This is how much

799
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 2: they used him in a lot of different ways. When

800
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: they came to Morgantown for that last game of the season,

801
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 2: he had a forced fumble, he had a touchdown reception,

802
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: and he threw an interception in the red zone. Wow,

803
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: So like they just he was this crazy playmaker on

804
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 2: defense that they would use in the red zone at

805
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: tight end at like a wing back type. He caught

806
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 2: a touchdown and more, and they were trying to build

807
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 2: up he had he was a Heisman finalist. Yeah, they

808
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: were trying to build up his resume a little bit.

809
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: He caught a touchdown and then like two draves drives

810
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: later through an interception in the end. He just he's

811
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: one of those cerebral playmakers who there's a spot for

812
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: him on.

813
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: Just watching practices. He touched the ball as a linebacker

814
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: like five or six times with the force fumble right

815
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 3: till he was one catching it.

816
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 2: Twelve games last year, four interceptions, seven forced fumbles, three

817
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: touchdowns as an off ball lot like not an edge,

818
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: not a He's an impressive playmaker. More wide receivers off

819
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 2: the board. Chris Bell goes to the Broncos, Elijah Surat

820
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: goes to the Patriots, and then Seattle to close it down,

821
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: tries to hit on their uh second you know year

822
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: in a row. Finding a guard in this draft, Chase

823
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: Bistontist out of Texas A and m closes down the

824
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: second round to slide him next to Gray's Abel on

825
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: the other side. There, Matt, that was a long kind

826
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 2: of mock draft Monday. Let's close down with some tweets

827
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: on the other side as we wrap this thing up.

828
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 2: It is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio on the

829
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: Steelers Audio.

830
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: Network, your tuns about Drive.

831
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm on your twenty four to seven home of the

832
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: Black and Goal, Steelers Nation Radio.

833
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 2: A quick final segment here today on the Drive to

834
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: close us down on this Monday, we are gonna call

835
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: a little bit of an audible here, all right, So

836
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: deal with me. I'm gonna I'm Aaron Rodgers, all right.

837
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna minimalize air here at the line of scrimmage.

838
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna check us into something better here as we

839
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 2: survey the landscape. Let's save our explosive play differential conversation

840
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: for tomorrow because we only have, like I said, just

841
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes here and I don't want to

842
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 2: shortchange that one. Some really good research by Matt that

843
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: we will get into. I also have a Super Bowl

844
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 2: quiz Steelers related that I want to run by with

845
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: you all and with Matt to kind of some some

846
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 2: Steelers trivia of past. As we get ready, we'll do

847
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: some fun super Bowl stuff all throughout the week. One

848
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: last kind of news and notable here before we close

849
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 2: down with some tweets. The Rams have announced some extensions

850
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: to head coach Sean McVay and GM Less Sneid, multi

851
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: year extensions for both of those guys. There had been

852
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: some conversation that maybe Sean McVay wants to take some

853
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: time off and take a step back. I mean, he's

854
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 2: not even forty years old yet, but he's been coaching

855
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: in the NFL for close to a decade already. But

856
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: that is not going to be the case. As Sean

857
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: McVay assigned an extension in LA with the Rams, as

858
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: has general manager Less Snead, both multi year extensions, and

859
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 2: Sean McVay stating as well that he is what's the

860
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 2: exact word he used here, he has his fingers crossed

861
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: the Matt Stafford will return to play next season. Hopeful

862
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 2: that the quarterback will be back for his eighteenth season

863
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 2: in the NFL, he said he's going to take time

864
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: to talk to his wife and his girls and see

865
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: what's best. But man, he is still playing at an

866
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 2: incredible level. Our hope is that he does. But with

867
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 2: respect to his timetable and ability to communicate with us,

868
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: we will let him whenever he's ready to make that

869
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 2: announcement to be able to do that, he deserves as

870
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: much time as he needs. I'm keeping my fingers crossed,

871
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: like you guys, that he still wants to go play.

872
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: So some significant news there out of the NFC runner

873
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 2: up as the Rams ink McVeigh and snead to an extension,

874
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 2: and it sounds like they're hopeful and optimistic that Matthew

875
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 2: Stafford will be back for one more season, his eighteenth

876
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 2: in the NFL in twenty twenty six. All right, let's

877
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 2: close down with some tweets. Christopher tweets about the Saints

878
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: being in Paris and saying, you know, the Steelers are

879
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 2: scheduled to hit New Orleans this year, but it is funny.

880
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 2: That was the first thing that I thought too earlier

881
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: on the show. But it is being reported, not officially

882
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 2: announced by the league, so things can always change. But

883
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 2: it is being reported by many credible outlets that it

884
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: will be the Browns for the second straight year playing

885
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 2: a game overseas, taking on the Saints there in New

886
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 2: Orleans at the Parc des Pres right there in downtown Paris.

887
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: That's the home of PSG, the big French soccer club,

888
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: who are actually the reigning European champion. They kind of

889
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: won the Champions League last year, which is kind of

890
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: like their equivalent to the Super Bowl. So that'll be

891
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 2: a pretty cool first NFL game in France, there in Paris,

892
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: at the home of the European soccer champions. Let's see here,

893
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 2: Jake tweets and says one question I'd love to get

894
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: your perspective on in the slow offseason time is which

895
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: NFL franchises do you consider to be blue blood marquee

896
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: franchises Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Dallas or obvious? But what's the

897
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 2: line you draw between Marquee and the tier below. That's

898
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: a good question, Jake. That's a good like, that's a

899
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: good sitting at the sitting on the barstool with your

900
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 2: buddies conversation. And I think you're right the big three

901
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 2: and we could sit here and we could argue for

902
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 2: hours about what order you want to put them in.

903
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 2: But it's the Steelers, It's the Packers, and it's the Cowboys.

904
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: You look at fanbase size, all those different things, success history,

905
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 2: just amount of fans and the attention that they grab.

906
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: From a national perspective, I think those are the big three,

907
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 2: and I think San Francisco belongs in that tier two.

908
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 2: I would say they're a slight like half step down

909
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: from those three that I mentioned, But I do think

910
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: the Niners are closer in kind of the pantheon of

911
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: NFL history to those three than they are to the

912
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: next tier below. And then the next tier below you

913
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: would have teams like the Green Bay Packers come to mind,

914
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: the Raiders come to mind. Man, the Patriots probably now too,

915
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: as much as I hate to say it, heck, especially

916
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 2: if they went on Sunday. Oh man, I really don't

917
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: like thinking about that. Those would kind of be the

918
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: next that I would think would be in the second tier.

919
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 2: The Giants, the New York Giants deserve conversation in that.

920
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: In that regard to I think the Giants are definitely

921
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: in that second group. Is one of the traditional NFL franchises.

922
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 2: That's a good question, though, Jake, and those are kind

923
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 2: of uh, the first the first names or first thoughts

924
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 2: in my in my uh in my kind of you know,

925
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 2: drawn a line there, but I think the big three

926
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 2: definitely Steelers, Packers, Cowboys. I'd throw the Niners in that territory,

927
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: and then you got you know, Raiders, Patriots, Bears, Giants

928
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 2: probably as the as the next group. One last piece

929
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: of news here before we go today, the Steelers officially

930
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: two that sounds weird. The Steelers now officially also announcing

931
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: the hiring of James Campen as offensive line coach, Jarry Evans,

932
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 2: the potential future Hall of Famer as assistant offensive line coach,
