If you guys didn't hear the first 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.000 part of this podcast, Jordan told us about one rookie 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.759 class to a tongue by Lowes development, and much much more. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.880 He also we also did the congratulations about getting hired 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.600 by ESPN, a dream come true for him and for 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.759 so many folks that kind of worked this this career 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.880 path in the draft industry. So if you haven't heard 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.080 that episode, go ahead and go back check it out. 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.040 And Jordan's Christmas is coming up right around the corner. 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.440 You've got those two little girls. What are you getting 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.160 them for Christmas? Man? I need some ideas. Help me 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.039 out here, man. So we're still in the stage of Disney. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.960 Everything is Disney right now. So we're dealing with Mowanna. 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.480 We're on Mickey and Minni Mouse right now. So just 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.880 trying to get everything Disney related right now. So, I mean, 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.960 there's no limits anything Disney. We're gonna have on at 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.000 the Christmas Tree this year. That's incredible. It's be our 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.640 first Christmas where she's actually like capable of opening presents. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.280 Last year she was a little bit too young. But 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.440 now right around twenty months, I think I cannot wait 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:09.880 to watch her terror and two gifts. I don't even 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.160 care what I get her. She's not gonna care either. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.160 She played with the boxes that she gets more than anything. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.560 So that's that's about where we're at. But Jordan, we 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.280 wanted to have you on today because you know, I 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.960 want to have you help me and my audience understand 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.040 better this college football landscape. It's been a fun season. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:25.799 I don't get to watch as much of the live 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.200 broadcast anymore because I'm so busy with with the Dolphins 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.800 and everything. But I wanted to go position by position 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.639 here and would you be able to give me your 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:37.399 top three players by position from one season. Yeah, I mean, 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.960 this has been a very fun college season so far, 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.160 and I mean, let's get right into it. I'm excited, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.560 you bet. Let's go ahead and start with the position 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.480 you used to play, the cubes, the quarterbacks. Let's go, baby, 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.680 what're your top three quarterbacks this last season? Yeah? So 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.120 this past season, this past college season, I should say, 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.040 has been very exciting, and it's been a little bit 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.480 different as far as the quarterbacks, just because we've been 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.919 so spoiled with a quarterback class over the past two 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.720 or three years. I mean, you guys took one with 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.320 two A tongue by Lowe who's turned into a terrific player, 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.840 Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray. I mean, the list 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.480 goes on and on, and some of these quarterbacks that 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.880 we have seen, and even last year's Big Five with 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.399 Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Trey Lance, Mac Jones, and Zach 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.440 Wilson too. But the thing that's a little bit different 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.080 about this class is that there's no consensus one guy 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.400 at the top. But the one that you will hear 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.280 pretty much for the most part or the betterment up 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.080 until April. I think he's Kenny Pickett from pitt and 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.280 he's been phenomenal this year. I mean, he's throwing the 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.360 record forty two touchdown passes in the a sec. Terrific background, 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:39.000 was a three sport athlete coming out baseball player, basketball player, 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.960 was a point guard coming out to And you know, 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.480 the thing that I love about Kenny is that you know, 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.200 he plays exactly to his strengths and he may not 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.600 be as physically gifted as some of the other quarterbacks 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.600 in this class, but when it comes down to in 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.880 the NFL, is can you win from the pocket? And 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.360 he has a decision making that you're looking for he's 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.720 very accurate. I think he probably has a B level 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.840 on him right now. Looking forward to I'm hoping he 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:03.720 plays in the Senior Bowl. I think he could help him. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.680 I think he could help himself significantly if he goes 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.360 down there and plays well in Mobile And you're hearing 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.760 a lot of there may not be a quarterback drafted 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.640 in the top ten, but I think if Pickett goes 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.120 down there and plays well, I think he could enter 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.240 into the discussions of going inside the top ten. But 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.920 you know, last year, I should say his junior season, 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.960 he battled through an ankle injury. He got hurt in 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.240 the fifth game of the season, so you see him 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.039 limping around and he's battling through. But he was really 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.279 finally got healthy this year, and you saw that in 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:36.040 this game. He acquired a newfound mobility ability. You saw 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:37.600 him with the fake slide and the a c C 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.080 Championship game, taking it fifty plus yards in that game 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.640 in the big win over Wake four. So Kenney Pickett 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.240 is the guy that you're going to hear about at 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.000 the top. And then the other two to round out 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.799 just the top three, Matt Corral from Old Miss who's 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.800 done a heck of a job this year in that lane, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.200 Kiff and the offense once again, those disc or that 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:55.800 throws that you see a lot of the r P 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.160 O game. He's really good in that area. And then 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.000 the thing about corre All is that he just needed 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.039 to take care of the football. And you know, he 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.560 had eleven interceptions the two games alone during his Richard 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.839 sophomore season, has six against l s U and then 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.320 excuse me, six against Arkansas and five against l s U. 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.480 And that's reduced all the way down to four interceptions 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.800 total this year, so he's done a much better job 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.440 of taking care of the ball. And then the last 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.520 one I think could be up for debate. You can 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.400 see Sam how from North Carolina. You can see Malik 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.880 Willis from Liberty. You can see Carson Strong from Nevada, 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.280 and then Desmond Ritterd from Cincinnati, who has a big 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.800 opportunity here in the College Football Playoff in his first 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.200 game against Alabama, and then he's already accepted his invitations 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.200 to the Senior Bowl. So he's probably the one player 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.239 of anybody throughout any position that has the most game 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.560 over the next few weeks in the College Football Playoff. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.440 I'm glad you keep going back to the Senior Bowl 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.240 because what a job Jim Naggie has done there to 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.200 get that game to where it is with all of 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.320 these first round and second round, third round picks and 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.080 of course the rest of the draft too, but he 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.520 just loads that game up with talent every single year, 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.000 and this would be a good chance, like you mentioned, 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.960 for Desmon Murder to get out there and maybe Slitt 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.480 find him himself as what would you say, a possible 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.440 first round pick. Maybe it just depends if he plays 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.600 well at the Senior Bowl. I think we could see 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.920 him start to enter the back end of those first 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.760 round discussions. And then also if he goes out and 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.760 he played with plays well against Alabama and they end 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.640 up winning that game. I mean, we've seen how the 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.719 college football playoffs can really skyrocket the draft stock of 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.800 a lot of guys, and we know the postseason All 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.040 star circuit can really help guys too. Yeah, the the 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.200 the I don't want to use the word uncertainty, but 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.279 I will around the quarterback position going in because, like 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.680 you mentioned, all these loaded classes where you knew going 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.880 in you had you know, I used the air quote 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.680 generational types. You had your your risers and all these 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.599 guys that have produced such a high level. I think 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.880 it makes for even more intrigue going into the draft 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.760 when you don't have those four or five guys across 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.000 the board that you certainly know about as top ten, 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.320 top fifteen Lettle picks. Let's move on now to a 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.760 position that's also in the backfield, the running backs. I think, uh, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.640 the last couple of years we've seen some pretty good 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.599 classes as well. Does this one kind of match up 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.360 and what are your top three guys? Well, it's not 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.040 as loaded and we as we have seen in years past, 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.039 even going back to the nineteen class, which was really 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.800 really talented in as well. I think both of those 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.480 classes were loaded. I don't think there's similar to quarterback. 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.040 I don't think there's no consensus guy at the top. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.840 It's just a matter of which type of flavor, what 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.840 Scoopa ice cream really flows your boat, whatever type that 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.280 you like. And you know, Breece Hall from Iowa State 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.600 is one that you're gonna hear a lot about resting 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.200 touchdown straight um, which was an FBS record that he 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.880 said this year Iowa, Isaiah Spiller from Texas A and 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.200 m is another name that you're here about. Kenneth Walker, 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.920 the third from Michigan State, who was phenomenal this year 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.680 after he transferred over from Wake Forest. And I mean 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.600 there's plenty of other names that you go on and 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.760 on and about. I really liked the senior backfield class too. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.760 You're talking about James Cook, Alvin Cook's younger brother down 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.560 at Georgia, who's been used sparingly, but I think he's 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.840 gonna be a much better pro now that he's gonna 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:55.920 be in a be a bit, He's gonna be able 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.000 to shine a little bit more in a committee backfield. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.640 You have m Abram Smith from Taylor, who I think 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.120 is an underrated player, to Brian Robinson Junior from Alabama, 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.080 and the list goes on and on. As you can see, 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.880 I think there's no headliner in this class, but as 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.280 far as the depth of the group, I think you 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.800 can really find some guys late day two, early day 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.679 three that can come in and be those immediate type 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.240 of commedia backfield contributors. Didn't Georgia start Cook in the 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.280 SEC title game? Yeah? They did, and that was after 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.240 he had been kind of the backup all season long, right, Yeah, 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.680 And another guy in the backfield, Jamir White, with him 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.360 probably going to be a late round guy that I 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.640 think going to be helpful in the committee too. I 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.040 know you're a former co worker Kyle Crabs love Kyle 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.240 crabs her on the Drivetime podcast. Now you do you 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.840 do as well? He's a big, a big fan of um. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.280 The other running back White there at Georgia. So good 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.760 company there. Let's go ahead and move onto the receiver position. 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.640 I have one guy that I've really zoned it on 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.120 that I love watching this season. I'm just gonna wait 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.480 and see if you mention him. But go ahead and 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.880 talk about your receivers. Jordan's Yeah. So this class, it 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.120 doesn't have the star power at the top like we 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.280 saw with Jamar Chase and Jalen Waddle and DeVante Smith 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.520 a year ago. But I really like the depth of 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.320 this class, especially in the first two rounds, and I 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.360 think we could see as many as five and six 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.320 guys go in the top forty. We've seen what Jamison 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.000 Williams at Alabama has been able to do in the 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.200 SEC Championship game, and it's crazy that he's fighting for 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.040 that one, that wide receiver one title of the guys 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.720 that he was in the same wide receiver room with 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.400 a year ago this time last year with Chris Olive 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.480 and Garrett Wilson. Who are some other guys that I 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:29.800 think are gonna be fighting to be in that wide 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.760 receiver one discussion two And I think both of those 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:33.720 guys could end up going in the first round. But 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.920 I mean, and we didn't even talk about guys like 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.280 Drake London from USC who was leading the FBS and 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:43.400 receptions prior to suffering the lower extremity injury that he suffered. 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.360 John Dodson from Penn State is another name that really 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.120 has a lot of people excited. But one of my 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.680 favorite players in this class as a whole is Trailing 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.360 Burke's from Arkansas. He really reminds me of a J. 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.600 Brown from not an Old Miss, that linebacker type build 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.600 that has plenty of speed to combine with that. So 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.240 I really like what this wide receiver class has to offer, 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.280 especially in the first round. Trailing Brooks has been a 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.240 breaking Twitter time he makes a catch, it's always a 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.679 highlight reel catching he makes it under in Arkansas. He's 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.719 he's impressive. But the guy you actually didn't match My 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.200 guy produced David Bell. I've been a big fan of 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.560 his game. Yeah, he he actually just put a Twitter 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.560 post up saying that he's not gonna play in the 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.559 Bowl game. Him and Carl Liftis. I don't think they're 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.520 gonna play in the Bowl game, but they did officially 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.520 declare for the NFL Draft. But yeah, David Bell, I mean, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.400 one of the best route runners, and you know, he's 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.160 probably I think he's probably gonna run in the four 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.440 or five range, But when you turn on the tape, 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.520 he just understands how to naturally get open. And he 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.320 had I believe it was um he had to produe 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.600 record of five two yard games in his career, and 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.360 I mean he just set the record books on fire 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.640 when he was there, And everybody talked about Rondale Moore 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.800 been a number one option when he was there, when 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.679 David Bell really was the guy that was consistently producing 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.559 when Randale Moore was battling his ailments and things that 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.720 he was going through from an injury standpoint. But Bill 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.880 has been able to constantly produce when he's been in 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.160 the lineup. It kind of reminds me of like you 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.240 have these different class of receivers in terms of what 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.120 they do well. Like Michael Thomas and Terry McLaurin, two 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.120 guys that come to mind is dudes that were just 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.040 route running experts at the moment they entered the NFL. 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.040 Can I see something similar with David Bell when I 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.320 watched him on tape there for due? How about the 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.600 tight end class, Jordan, This is the area that I 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.520 sometimes overlook. I don't know why, for whatever reason, tight 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:24.720 ends just kind of go past the by the wayside 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.080 for me. Can you help educate me on this position? Yeah? 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.000 So this is a group that is being really underrated 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.120 right now in my opinion, just because there once again 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.240 like quarterback and then Asto running back, where there's just 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.920 no consensus guy at the top. But I think one 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.480 that's really gonna rise to the top eventually, especially when 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.000 we talk about the postseason All Star Game, is Trey 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.439 McBride from Colorado State. He's about six ft four two 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.440 and sixty pounds. He was everything for that offense this year. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.000 He had ninety catches for over or nearly yards, but 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.440 only at one touchdown, So a little bit of a 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.720 weird stat now, he had so many yards and so 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.880 many receptions but was only able to get in the 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.080 end zone one time, but it's because the defenses were 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.839 so fixated on him where they were able to keep 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.840 him out of the end zone. But he's your versatil guy. 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.520 He can line up in line, he can line up 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:12.920 to the hip of the tight end, you can all 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.160 excuse me, the hip of the offensive tackle, and then 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.280 you can flex him out too. I think he's probably 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.120 a B plus level blocker. Still has some technique things 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.720 that he needs to clean up as far as running 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.240 his feet on contact, but he I mean, he really 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:28.280 loves the process of understanding how the block and then 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.839 just getting involved in the mix of delble teams or 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.640 offensive tackles too. So Trey McBride is probably going to 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.480 be that guy that I think ends up as the 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.280 consensus number one guy. Then after that you have players 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:41.160 like Jaden Jalen Widermeyer from Texas and then who got 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.160 a lot of buzz coming into the year, had a 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.240 really good year, to Cold Turner from Nevada who proved 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.960 to be one of Carson Strong's best options down in Nevada. Two. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.520 And then there's some other players that you're gonna hear 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.480 about two that I think are gonna rise to the 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.679 top eventually too. So I'm really excited about this tight 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.600 end class. And once again there's no consensus at the top, 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.679 but there's a lot of depth through out. Not like 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.640 last year with Kyle pitts On not the same deal there, yeah, 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.240 much much different players. We got a chance to watch 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.960 him in training camp this UH this past August, and 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.720 he was fun to watch. Eric Road did a good 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.440 job on him though without the course of that week, 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.120 I was a lot of fun for us to watch. 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.640 Down here. Let's keep it on that particular part of 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.559 the field, the offensive line. Kick in side here a 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.840 little bit. Talk to us about this class here, Jordan. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.000 You can talk about tackles, guard, tenners, whatever you want. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.120 Just want to have you education on offensive line playing 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:30.400 college football. I think this offensive taper classes loaded. And 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.679 the crazy thing about it is that we've seen so 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.480 many good offensive taper classes over the past few years. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.760 They just consistently keep turning them out college football. I mean, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.920 Evan Neil from Alabama is the one that you're canna 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.480 hear about at the top, six ft seven three and 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.240 sixty pounds, just a mammoth sized human being, but also 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.160 a really good athlete. To eat him and Kwandu from 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.720 NC State is another player that I had an opportunity 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.400 to see live against Wake Forest and he was the 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.360 real deal. It was every bit of everything that thought 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.920 he would be in person. There's some there's some mix 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.079 of pains as far as is he a guard, is 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.440 the a tackle? I think he's shown plenty enough at 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.959 left tackle this year to show that he can survive 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.160 out there on an island by himself. Charles Cross from 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.760 Mississippi State, who is one of my favorites of the bunch, 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.640 only a richer sophomore this year, so we'll see if 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.840 he ends up declaring in the end. An underrated FCS 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.520 player that really has risen through the ranks since summer 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.800 scouting is Trevor Penny from Northern Iowa. Another player that 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.200 you'll probably start to see here in first round Montrafts 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.560 Northern Iowa. Is he going to the Senior Bowl? Yes, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.960 he's like he was the first selection of the first 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.760 acceptance of the Senior Bowl. I love that these smaller 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.640 school guys, they always seem to find their way down 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.840 like a Quinn Miners or a uh Ali Marpett. It 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.360 seems like every single year we get a guy that 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.320 goes down there, that comes up and has a big 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.600 week and then gets drafted in the top couple of rounds. There. 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.640 Let's go ahead and go over to the defensive side 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.160 here in Miami is very deep at this position into 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:54.280 your defensive lineman. Who are some guys you like there? Yeah, 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.440 And you know, this is one position that hasn't been 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.640 very good as far as the depth at the top 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.880 over the past few years. In Christian Barmer is one 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.400 player that we've seen really had a really good year, 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.120 but Lynn McGill levi Wzoreka help in Detroit. There are 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.400 two other players that have been contributors. So while there 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.440 hasn't been the star war that we have seen in 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.280 years past, you know, like a Quentin Williams or some 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.120 of the other players that we have seen amongst the 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.280 interior defensive line class in years past, I think this 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.640 class is very similar and that there's not a bunch 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.920 of star power at the top. And I think this 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.360 is one of the weaker position groups across the board, 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.600 whether it's offense or defense. So some players that I 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.160 do like, obviously you're gonna hear about Jordan Davis down 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.440 at Georgia, who I think is that two down front 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.440 stuff for that is very reminiscent of Lynbaal Joseph when 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.200 he was coming out of e Cu end up being 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:44.600 a second round pick. Perry On Winfrey from Oklahoma is 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.840 another player that I think is probably gonna rise as 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.640 the draft process goes along. They had a little bit 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.360 of an unconventional defensive line rotation there at Oklahoma, so 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.240 he would be in form the first series of the 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.520 game and then you wouldn't see him again until about 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.840 the third or the fourth series of the second quarters. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.160 They had a little bit of a weird rotation there 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.560 at Oklahoma. But I think he's a player that once 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.760 he gets more exposure or playing time, I think he's 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.240 only going to get better and we're gonna see an 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.040 opportunity for him down to the Senior Bowl too. Once again, 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.680 another player that could rise through the ranks. Um. You 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.280 know some other players that I liked at the position. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.680 For Darien Mathis from Alabama, He's I think he's a 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.800 three down player that showed a lot more juice down 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.960 the back stretch of the year. You saw him make 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.080 plays all up and down the field in the SC 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.360 title game, and then Devonte Wyatt from Georgia who was 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.800 Jordan Davis's running mate along the interior. So while there 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.960 isn't a bunch of star power at the top, I 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.920 think there's some players that you can really fill out 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.120 your depth chart with this group with. I can't even 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.800 fathom Jordan Davis a size. There's that photo of him 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.160 where he's with one of his teammates might have been 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.760 who you just mentioned. And then also a staffer who's 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.760 like a normal size human being, and Jordan Davis towers 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.200 over not just the normal size human being, his teammate too. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.880 It's it's hard to comprehend how big that man is. Yeah, 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.080 it actually it was Davante if he would standing aside, 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.120 and I think why, it's like six three three hundred 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.280 pounds and he just towered over. I've never seen the 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.960 crazier po that. Oh man, let's go ahead and keep 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.000 this rolling hare out to the outside off the edge there. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.440 What do you think about us edge class coming into 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.399 December here bull season? I love it. I think this 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.200 is by far the strongest position group across the board 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.199 of any offense or defense in this draft class. And 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.720 we've seen Aidan Hudginson. The year that he's been able 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.080 to put together, how well he stood out in the 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.680 game against Ohio State. He's been doing that all year, 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.480 said a Michigan single game or single season record and 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.840 sacks this year. And then the other player that we're 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.879 probably gonna see jockey and back and forth for the 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.640 possible number one overall selection is Cavon Thibodeaux from Oregon, 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.400
