<v Speaker 1>It's one of my favorite interviews of the entire year.

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Good to see you again, man, How you doing.

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great? Drafts is always great to see you

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm always appreciative that you would welcome me into

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins family for a short time each and every

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 2>year because I'm just a guy, right, I'm just a

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 2>person who likes ball and we're all in it together.

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I've got anything really to offer,

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>but you're always gracious, You're always kind, and it's always

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>fun to have a chat with you. It's good back

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>and forth. I get to learn a lot.

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You certainly offer plenty, and we learn a lot from you.

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>That's why we have you on every single year, and

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I always get a kick out of seeing you around

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>here at training camp. Once in a while, we see

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you on the coverage of the draft. You know, I

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>was telling one of the other producers here, one of

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.639
<v Speaker 1>my favorite things about the draft coverage is the stump

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.119
<v Speaker 1>the truck and you, my friend, are the best at

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>that game. I'm curious to explain to the fans maybe

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.199
<v Speaker 1>what that is and why it's so much.

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Fun for you guys to have that.

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it's like a deep Day three part of

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the show, right, it really.

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Is, Travis. You you absolutely nailed it. It's a deep

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Day three. We are in rounds probably six and seven

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>at that point. And it's not that those young people

0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>getting selected is not important, but you're not going pick

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 2>to pick to pick to pick to pick, right. So

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>the people who work on our show and prepare for

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the draft, they have to have this deep database of

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>potential draftees, you know, and our truck I think gets

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>around one thousand somewhere in that neighborhood of people that

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>they have where they went to school, when they played

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and as you understand Travis, I mean, every team has

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>people on it. Did they go? Where did he play

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>college football? Right? How did he get here? We have

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>people who wear gold jackets as Hall of Fame members

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 2>that were never drafted into the NFL. They may have

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>come from an obscure school. So we do this thing

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 2>called stunk the truck where people get to I guess nowadays, right,

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>you just you know, you tweet it in or blue

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>sky it in or whatever it is, and and you know, hey,

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 2>do you have such and such such and such player

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>from such such such such school? Okay, and them telling

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>you they can be the most obscure schools. But somebody

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.640
<v Speaker 2>at home's like, this guy's a player, do you have him?

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>But what we do ourselves that we have people do

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the questions and then we do it ourselves because we've

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 2>done our research and we've done our stuff, and we'll

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>ask the truck do you have Travis Wingfield from you know,

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Saint Albans Prep, A D three and wherever wherever are,

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, that sort of a thing, and they go

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 2>through their database and more times than not fit and

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>not only do they have the player, there's a highlight

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>of the player. Yeah, and that's just always a lot

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>of fun because we get to illuminate some places and

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, like we got this young man this year

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>that's not going to make stump the truck is too easy.

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>But the tank who plays offensive line, it's out of Middlebury,

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Like what Middlebury College? A D three guy? Well, of

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>course we had Ali Marpett come out of Hobart a

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>few years ago became a Pro Bowl player. Maybe we'll

0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>have the same thing, you know, Thomas Perry, I believe

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>the young man's name.

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it happens every I mean Quinn Minor. It's right,

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.119
<v Speaker 1>all pro from a Wisconsin whitewater. Like it happens every

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>single year. It's so good and I love seeing the

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>way you guys get all fired up because like you

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>can almost tell, like that third day of draft coverage

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>for everybody across the league, the fatigue starts to set in,

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>but that kind of gets you that final push there

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>over the hump to finish the day and finish the

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>draft process. Let's go ahead and get into the football

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>stuff here, Charles and I want to I have two

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>leadoff questions that I wrote down. I'll go ahead and

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 1>start with this one first, and it's it's not Dolphins

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>related yet. We'll get there eventually, I promise. But I

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>have a question about just watching tape because this is

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>something that I struggle with as something of a I

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>guess i'll call myself a tape dog myself as well.

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>And maybe this is twofold, but we see all kinds

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of players have pretty big swings in terms of their

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>performance from year to year. It's why this league is

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>just so tough to predict every single season. You know,

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 1>guys can struggle then become all pros or vice versa.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>My question is when you have a collection of tape,

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 1>and this you know applies for multi year stars in

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>college too, But how do you weigh like the impressive

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.479
<v Speaker 1>nature of the good tape maybe for one year was

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>really good, maybe another year was kind of a down year.

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Like how do you balance the good reps versus the

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>bad reps, whether it's a college prospect a pro from

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>year to year. Like that's a roadblock I have in

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>my own film study. I'm curious to get an expert's

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>opinion on that, Travis.

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Is a great question, and I think you hit on

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 2>something that I would dare say the vast majority of

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:27.559
<v Speaker 2>us ponder and wonder ourselves. You and I can't speak

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>for anyone else in this business and how they watch tape, right,

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 2>we don't know that, but my suspicion is, having watched

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>it for a long time, you've done the same thing

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>when you talk with other people, I'm guessing you're not

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the only one to see kind of asking this question.

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>And when I've gotten and I don't know if I'm

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 2>going to call it a consensus, but people I really

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>respect who are great at doing this Scout, GMS, right assistant,

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 2>gas personnel, people, coaches, all that. There's an expression that

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I've learned in the last few years called grading the

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 2>flat and the flashes, meaning the really good plays that

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>you were talking about, right, the really good stretches that

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 2>you saw on tape. CJ. Stroud. I'm going to use

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>an example. Quarterback at Ohio State before he went to

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.239
<v Speaker 2>the Houston texts a member of him and Bryce Young

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>his year, Right, who do you like? Who do you like?

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Who do you like, there was all that discussion about CJ. Stroud.

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>We didn't see him run the ball ahead of a lot, right, didn'

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 2>see him break out of the pocket and run it

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>was there consistency in certain things he did, et cetera,

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. And then, as you know, Dravis, then we

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 2>had the Georgia game in the College Football Playoff and CJ.

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Stroud was incredible that night, right, And that became kind

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>of the mantra around the league for people who were

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 2>thinking about, Okay, can I move up and get him?

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Do I want him whatever? We've seen him do it. Now,

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>if it's on tape and you've seen him do it,

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 2>that means he can do it again. And now you

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>have to go into your organization. You're head coach, who's

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.679
<v Speaker 2>going to coim what kind of training you're going to provide,

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.279
<v Speaker 2>what's your environment? So, as you know, Travis, sometimes we

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>have if I take it out of CJ. Strod and

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>I go to a person who we saw have great

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>promise and fell off, can we get back to that

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 2>great promise? Do I have an organization and a coach

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>that I think can get there? And I'll give you

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>a quick example, Derek Stingley junior. Derek Stingley, remember he

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>was the consensus guy from his freshman year at LSU,

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>but he had injuries, didn't play as much last couple

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 2>of years in school, and then came Sauce gardener. So

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 2>now we got a whole different conversation because Sauce was

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>really consistent and kept getting better at Cincinnati. Who do

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 2>you like better? Well, if you grated the Flashes, it's

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>hard to get stinkly out of your head. But if

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>you're watching the last two years in school, Sauce was

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 2>clearly the one who was ascending and playing well. You

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 2>remember how the draft rolled out. By the time we

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>got to the draft, Travis Sauce was ahead on most

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 2>people's scorecards, but Derek Stingley got picked before Sauce, one

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.679
<v Speaker 2>pick before Sauce because Houston had graded the Flashes felt

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>they had the right people there, and Sauce started out

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 2>the first two years was an all Pro as you

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>remember rookie. The whole thing Derek Stingley had injury issues,

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't as consistent. Starting twenty twenty three, Derek Stalely came

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>off of an injury and has played at a level

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and kept descending where he was an All Pro last year,

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.959
<v Speaker 2>Sauce's team wasn't as good was you know, things weren't

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 2>quite as great for him. He's still a great player

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and going to be again. But now Stingley's good hit

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the All Pro status that Sauce has hit prior. So

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 2>it's all a matter of you know, what do you

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 2>believe you can get If you've seen it before, you

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 2>feel like you can get it again? And do we

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 2>have the people to bring it out of them? And

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 2>is it in that young man to bring it out

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 2>of himself again? So that's where that homework comes in.

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 2>And Travis, we all do so much homework, right We

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 2>all work at it, and no one works at it

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 2>more than the coaches, the scouts, the people thirty two

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 2>NFL teams and they're lucky if they hit fifty. And

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>they work at it like man, it is a very

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.599
<v Speaker 2>tough thing to do. And sometimes I keep having to

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 2>remind myself and I want to call our brethren sometime

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 2>and say, hey, you do know just how tough this is? Right,

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Like we get on these people like mad, how'd you

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 2>miss here? Cause you and I both know using Sauce

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 2>in Derek Stingley. You know the Houston people call you

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 2>know what during sauces first two years. Yes, absolutely right,

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I think has worked out pretty well.

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I love that comparison because it reminds me of a

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 1>different player that we'll talk about. Come back and maybe

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>put a pin in that, because I do want to

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 1>get back to Malachi Starks, who I feel kind of

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>got that like good tape fatigue where it's like he

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>was such a good player that we kind of forgot

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 1>about him and maybe the draft consents around him became

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, you know, pulled down because of that.

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>But let's come back to that, CD, because I want

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>to go back to the Dolphins here and get into

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the official Dolphins draft conversation here and kick it off

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>with talking about free agency and how that might impact

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>their draft thinking. Because we saw them sign a big

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>body wide receiver, which I think a lot of fans

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>thought was a big need, and Nick Westbrook Akine a

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>great blocking titand and Pharaoh Brown, a couple of offensive linemen,

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>including one of the better guards in the game of

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.239
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, in James Daniels, A couple of safeties and linebackers.

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>How do you think CD the Dolphins free agency, I

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.439
<v Speaker 1>guess a mode of attack. How did the way they

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>filled out some needs and impact their potential Draft night

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to pick thirteen and beyond.

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think they did a nice job. I really do.

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>In players, you were mentioning the needs, the fit was there.

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Chris Career and his staff and crew, I think did

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 2>a really good job getting people who can do all

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 2>of those things. The interesting part is in free agency,

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.560
<v Speaker 2>as you know Travis, for the most part, you fell needs,

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>but that doesn't necessarily mean that the need is done.

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, So James Daniels comes in, but he's coming

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 2>off of injury, right, and you're gonna plug him in

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and say he's going to be probably a starting right

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 2>guard I would guess, right, Liam Ikenberg at left guard.

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 2>So you have that. But at the same time, does

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 2>that mean that you're done. I don't think so, because

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I think you're gonna get into other rounds because I

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 2>just don't see them going guard at thirteen. But later rounds,

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>who do you go and get and trying four to

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 2>five and bring people in and maybe you find your

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.079
<v Speaker 2>starter for the future there. Those are the type of

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 2>things you're doing. Pharaoh Brown. Terrific blocking tight end, But

0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>what is the quarterback's best friend ever receiving tight end,

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>somebody who's working the middle of the field, always in

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>the sight lines. Easy throws, easy completions, Boom boom boom boom,

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 2>sticks move. Okay, are we done? I don't think so.

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>There's a possibility of going out and getting and this

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>is a pretty good tight end group that's coming out,

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think you're done on things of that nature.

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Nick Westbrook, I saw him in Tennessee. I've been doing

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 2>their preseason package for a number of years now, and boy,

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 2>he is he produced. Every time they've asked, he has produced.

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Is he ever gonna be a one? No? Is he

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 2>ever gonna be a two? Probably not, But he's a

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 2>terrific three, four, whatever you want, and he makes clutch

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 2>catches at clutch times. Travis, you remember, before he got

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>hurt at Indiana, we were saying this is a second

0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 2>round receiver all day long, and probably maybe our aspirations

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 2>for him are a little bit higher. But the knee

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 2>injury of the opening game begins Ohio State and it

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the same for a long time for him. I

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know if he ever got the same burst and

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 2>everything that came from it. But he's a legit really

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 2>good pro, really good player. But does that wipe out

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 2>you what you're going to do a wide receiver. No,

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 2>that's my point, Like just about every team when you

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 2>go into free agency, it's rare that you get into

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 2>free agency and get the guy that you want and

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 2>now we don't have to worry about that spot anymore.

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 2>Most times you get him, but you're still building, still

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>thinking if I get someone else, you.

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Going yet, Just to use another example, like you're Stingley

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and Sauce Gardner take it kind of reminds me of

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>like the Matt Flynn Russell Wilson decision in Seattle. Right,

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>you get the free agent quarterback, you go draft the guy,

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and he winds up beating out the free agent in

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.559
<v Speaker 1>training camp. So we've seen Chris Greer mention this a

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 1>few times. I think that they've they've shown you by

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 1>what their actions are that typically if they like a player,

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, it doesn't matter the position, they'll go with

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>that player. And they do like to take their high

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>premium spots, which has put them in a position to

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of be able to go shop for those specific needs.

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And with that in mind, I'm so fascinated by this

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 1>thirteenth PIXID because you mentioned the tight end class. I

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.680
<v Speaker 1>think Tyler Warren makes a bunch of sense in that spot.

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>We've seen the defensive tackle group maybe hasn't quite rounded

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>into form just yet, and there's some guys that could

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>be on the board at that spot. I mentioned Malachi

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Starks earlier. Jaday Baron's a guy that I think would

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 1>would really fit in here nicely when you take a

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>look at all those guys and kind of how I

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>guess what might be there thinking about how picks ten

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>through twelve could go, what do you think the most

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.200
<v Speaker 1>value might be for the Dolphins, whether it's a defensive tackle,

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 1>whether it's you know, a captain of the back of

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the defense and Malachi Starks, whether it's a Tyler like

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 1>who do you think it could be a possible fit

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 1>there pick thirteen Beyond the guys we talked about.

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think I think for what we're talking about,

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the safety I think is there and that would be

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>the swing when you like, we just started baseball season,

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 2>right it officially began yesterday and now we have the

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>series in Japan with the Giant and I mean the

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Cubs and the Yankees, right, No, it's gonna be Cubs

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:37.320
<v Speaker 2>and Dodge. Yeah, right, we have that, but officially when

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>it's all Capitals opening day, right, when we've done this.

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 2>That was on Thursday of the last week in March.

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 2>So this is a big swing. You go safety at thirteen. Right.

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you because you keep mentioning Malachi Starks. So

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I've already figured out without having a conversation that you

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 2>and I are sitting in the same spot that Malachi

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Starks is being over looked because Nick m and Worry

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 2>had one of the most monster combines, plus a very

0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 2>good career in South Carolina, plus a body type that

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>we're all just like, oh my god, this monster. I

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 2>said it during the combine. I'm old enough to remember

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>when all safeties kind of look like Nick m and Wary. Okay,

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking David Fulter in Cincinnati. I'm talking Steve Atwater

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>in Denver. I'm talking Ronnie a Lot when he swung

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 2>back to safety in San Francisco, Tim McDonald and Arizona

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 2>in San Francisco. They were master dons that ruled the earth.

0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Like if you ran into Steve atwater now And I

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know. If you have Travis, you would swear he

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>was an edge rusher when he played in the NFL.

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 2>He a monster. And I'm not saying and this isn't

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 2>because Steve's older and out of shape. You just go,

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, that was a safety. So that's what

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 2>m and worry kind is kind of back to the

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 2>future for me. And I will say this, and I

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 2>know Steve and those guys get mad at me, But

0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Edmond Warry runs better than all of them. Okay, he's

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 2>a better athlete. We've evolved it that way. Is he

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 2>a better player? That means to be seen. But I'm

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 2>with you on Malchi Starks. I think that we got

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>to the point where we took for granted excellent play

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 2>that we were getting. We took for granted a guy

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 2>who's in the right place at the right time. We

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 2>took for granted guy who could make plays on the

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 2>football and knock down your ball carriers and your receivers

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 2>after they catch the ball. I'm a Starks guy. Okay,

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't mean I don't like emin Warwick. I like

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Starks a little bit better. You take him at thirteen. Well,

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 2>wasn't there a guy named Javon Holland that you had

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 2>is no longer there?

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 3>You can play yeah, and is a plug and play.

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 2>And off you go. Let's go to the corner position

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 2>because you mentioned today Baron wonderful player, love him. Will

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Johnson might still be available coming out of Michigan that time. Okay,

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Benjamin Morrison from from Notre Dames a really good corner

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 2>as well. That'll be interested to see where Chris Greer

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 2>and his group if they have, what grades they have,

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and where they might want to go with something like that. Right,

0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna tell you defensive line you mentioned, how is

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>it going to kind of come off the board? I'm

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 2>really interested in that one as well. Because Mason Graham,

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.160
<v Speaker 2>we've kind of locked in for the longest time from

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Michigan is almost a top five certainty. I don't know

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 2>if we're right. I really don't know if we're right

0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.440
<v Speaker 2>on that. It has nothing to do with Mason Graham

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and whether or not he's a good ballplayer. I just

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 2>wonder if the board's gonna fall differently now where Mason

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Graham doesn't get top five. Now the question is is

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 2>it top ten, because once people start plucking certain guys,

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe other people jump up ahead where other teams come

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 2>up and get them. And does a Mason Graham go down. Look,

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>if he went at thirteen, people might go, oh my god,

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.719
<v Speaker 2>he's slid And I don't know if it's as much

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 2>of a slide as people think. But he'd be really

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 2>good there, wouldn't he at thirteen? But Derek Harmon from Oregon,

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Kenneth Mason Graham's running mate there, Okay, Walter Nolan is

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>a polarizing figure because remember we talk about grating flashes

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.359
<v Speaker 2>right and flashes there. So those are the types of

0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>things you're getting into. I'm just talking about first round.

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 2>We can get into other guys later if we want to,

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 2>just the first round guys like that. That's kind of

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 2>where I'm going with it. But you get back to

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.119
<v Speaker 2>that tight end. If Tyler Warren or Colston Loveland is

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.440
<v Speaker 2>sitting there at thirteen, I don't know that Chris Greer

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 2>hesitates a heck of a lot. I think, you know,

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Mike McDaniel might be like, get it, get it.

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Get it, Yeah, let's take it eligible why not?

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.640
<v Speaker 2>You know? And who can blame him? Absolutely? The things

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.280
<v Speaker 2>we do with tight ends in the NFL nowadays and

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.480
<v Speaker 2>what we're what they allow us to do offensively. And

0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 2>how about some of the people whose careers have been

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 2>revived John new Smith last season. If anyone saw that coming,

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>please let me know, because I want to hang out

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 2>with you from now on and I want to I

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 2>want to soak it all in because I knew John

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.679
<v Speaker 2>knew in Tennessee. I thought his best had been had

0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.640
<v Speaker 2>been established, like we weren't going to get back to

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 2>that potential, and it did so in the right place

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.399
<v Speaker 2>the right time to rite it. Boom, this can happen.

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 2>But Warren and Loveland are pretty good, to put it mildly,

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.600
<v Speaker 2>but the rest of that tight end class is really

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 2>good as well.

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.119
<v Speaker 1>I love the dichotomy of it and the way you

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.639
<v Speaker 1>again going back to the sauce and steingly debate. It

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of sets the whole theme for this episode up,

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like a lot of these guys were

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about have that where it's like Starks is the

0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 1>is the proven you know, three year tape guy, and

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Eman worries the kind of flash you know, grade the

0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 1>flashes with a big workout. You talk about Warren and

0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Loveland couldn't be more differing as in terms of their

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:46.879
<v Speaker 1>play styles. I think the whole draft is like that,

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of takes you to a position of

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 1>like what flavor do you prefer? And with that in mind,

0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>cd the spot we didn't talk about, which I'd be

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 1>missed to not bring it up here on a draft

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>episode of the Draft Time podcast is the offensive line.

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.160
<v Speaker 1>And the Dolphins for for a long time, a lot,

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 1>well since McDaniel got here, really have been pretty good

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.200
<v Speaker 1>about having guys that can play both guard and tackle,

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and those tackles are super athletic, wind up kicking inside

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>the guard and being good players there. I'm curious who

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you think might kind of fit that mold as a

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 1>possible early selection on the offensive line that could play

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>multiple spots.

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and when I look at the Dolphins, I start

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:24.680
<v Speaker 2>first interior offensive line because you got Armstead right, it

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.800
<v Speaker 2>left Austin Jackson at right. I'm not saying that that's

0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:31.639
<v Speaker 2>just a flat out lock. You're always trying to get better,

0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like the interior is more of a concern.

0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Daniel's coming off of injury, brand new team, right, Aaron

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Brewer always gonna no matter what's it. No matter what

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 2>you say about Aaron brow whether you and I talk

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 2>about him, when someone writes about him, Travis, tell me

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:52.920
<v Speaker 2>if I'm wrong, it's gonna say the undersized Aaron Brewer. Yeah,

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:54.880
<v Speaker 2>he just got to live with it, right. But he's

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 2>a battler. He's worked his way in this league. He's

0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 2>been a starter in this league. You know he's dependable.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:01.879
<v Speaker 2>He's going to be there. And then Leah Mikenberg at

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.159
<v Speaker 2>left guard. So if I'm thinking interior, and again, I

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 2>don't know, thirteen's the spot. But Tyler Booker from Alabama,

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 2>I realize people kind of lost their mind a little

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.359
<v Speaker 2>because his combined numbers weren't quite what they were looking for,

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:19.359
<v Speaker 2>especially on the forty, the ten things of that nature.

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 2>When we look at his numbers, they didn't. Okay, you

0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 2>remember when Orlando Brown went to the combine because you

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:27.679
<v Speaker 2>followed this as well as anyone. And I don't know

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 2>that he's finished his forty yet, that's right that time.

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:34.360
<v Speaker 2>He's won multiple Super Bowl rings, he's been an All

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Pro Pro Bowl left and right tackle. Sometimes you can

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.399
<v Speaker 2>just play football, and Tyler Booker to me, can just

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 2>play football. But I really have been impressed. I'm gonna

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:46.800
<v Speaker 2>give you some names of guys I've liked because I

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.119
<v Speaker 2>again I don't know that this is thirteen, but if

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking interior offensive line, these are people that I

0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 2>would keep an eye on. I think Donovan jenk Jackson

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>from Ohio State who was a guard and had to

0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 2>kick out to left tackle right to backfill Josh Simmons,

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.359
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a good player. I really think that

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Tate Rattledge from Georgia did that nice little front somersault

0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 2>to finish up the combine. Remember everybody's doing backflips and

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 2>all an offensive linemen are like, okay, we'll do a

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:17.919
<v Speaker 2>summer So yeah, I thought that was really cool. I

0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:21.600
<v Speaker 2>think the interior Seth McLoughlin, coming out of Ohio State

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 2>formerly of Alabama, has the injury coming along and see

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 2>the type of guy that I can plug into the

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 2>middle and be my pivot. I really think Jared Wilson

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 2>from from Georgia, I think he's a good player. And

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.760
<v Speaker 2>whatever George is doing with the Senators are doing a

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 2>really nice job because they keep sending the centers that

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:42.120
<v Speaker 2>can play. Last year's vamprint a Granger, a Van prim

0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Granger etc. Who went to Buffalout doesn't have to play yet,

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.200
<v Speaker 2>but I think he can plug in and play right away.

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Down the road. Remember Clay Webb Jacksonville State, Georgia, guy

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 2>who had gone to Jacksonville State. You get hit him

0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 2>on day three. He's gonna come in and be a

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 2>good player for you right away and compete and become

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.920
<v Speaker 2>a starter in this league. Down the road, Why at

0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Miloma tackle at West Virginia who I think can kick

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 2>inside and play for you? You and I could go

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 2>on and on and on, and I don't want to

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.719
<v Speaker 2>bore everyone that's out there. All I'm saying is there

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 2>are a ton of options. That's why I'm wondering unless

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:21.359
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have one of those incredible tackles fall. I

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know if Chris Brear is going at thirteen with

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 2>the guard and I think, and to me, it's the

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 2>interior offensive line. But that's just me. You may be like, well,

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 2>you know what you're talking about, David, I'm gonna do

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 2>something else, and rightly, rightly, so way ahead of me.

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:35.960
<v Speaker 2>But that's how I look at If I'm thinking about

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 2>interior offensive line.

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think options in the first rounds. What you want,

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:41.680
<v Speaker 1>and then you gave us a bunch of Day two

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of later on options that would I think certainly

0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:47.119
<v Speaker 1>satisfy the fan base here With some of those selections

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you could possibly make CD.

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 3>I have one more.

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Question for you here to kind of bring it back

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:52.280
<v Speaker 1>full circle, and we have about three or four minutes

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:53.479
<v Speaker 1>left from the call. Don't want to get your cut

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:55.080
<v Speaker 1>off here, so just give you that heads up. But

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 1>we talk about guys that move across the offensive line.

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Paul was a player that was drafted, you know,

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 1>left tackle exclusively at Houston. He played left tackle last

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 1>year for US a little bit of right tackle cross training,

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:07.920
<v Speaker 1>but got some good valuable reps and could be in

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.439
<v Speaker 1>line to take over that left tackle position. I'm curious

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to get your take on his development as a second

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 1>year player. But also if there's anybody else you want

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to talk about from the Dolphins twenty twenty four class,

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Chop Robinson, Malik Washington, Jalen Wright had some flash in

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 1>there as well. What do you think about the Dolphins

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:24.160
<v Speaker 1>draft class from last year and how they could take

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 1>a jump here in the second season.

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think you're gonna see it happened people.

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 2>I just I just never believe that we give enough

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 2>credence to how difficult it is to make the jump,

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and the ones who really screw it up are the

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 2>ones who jump well and are like rookies of the

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 2>year and play really well and become starters. And we

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>think that should happen for everyone. It can't, It won't.

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 2>It's hard Patrick Paul having a year where he didn't

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 2>have to have any pressure on him, where he got

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 2>to cross train during practice sessions. We got to go

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 2>against really good, good guys each and every week because

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:58.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, he was doing the show team or the

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 2>scout team and all that. It serves you well. It

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 2>gives you an opportunity to improve, you know. Jalen Wright

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 2>learning this offense, learning how to fit in, earning the

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 2>trust of Mike McDaniel in the offensive group where he's

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna call more plays for him. Year two is going

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 2>to be better for him. But the one I keep

0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 2>coming back to Chop Robinson because I thought coming out

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 2>of Penn State, we all thought he was a terrific player.

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 2>But what was the big question mark? We had production

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 2>numbers get four and a half saxes last year at

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Penn State, It's like a tradition at Penn State, right

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 2>a Dafeoway with Baltimore zero saxes last year at Penn State,

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:40.120
<v Speaker 2>first round pick, Chop Robinson four and a half first

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.880
<v Speaker 2>round pick, and as a fan, you're like, if he's

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:44.960
<v Speaker 2>a great pass rusher in college, how's he only getting

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 2>four and a half sacks. It's one of the great

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:49.199
<v Speaker 2>mysteries for me. Do you know Danielle Hunter had four

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:51.199
<v Speaker 2>and a half sacks his entire career at LSU.

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yea, we heard a lot about that talking about

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Chopp last year, so.

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 2>You just don't know. Well, the second half of the

0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:59.120
<v Speaker 2>year telling me I'm wrong, Chop was pretty darn good,

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:00.200
<v Speaker 2>wasn't he. Yeah?

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Elite, I would.

0:26:00.800 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Say, elite, Right, you know where that you know who

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 2>that helps have Dual Carter. Yeah, Dual Carter's coming out

0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 2>of Penn State and we're all having the questions. But

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 2>the one question you don't have to ask yourself about

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 2>a Duel Carter Penn State is production numbers, because he

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 2>actually had double digit sacks, so we know there are

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:22.040
<v Speaker 2>proven commodity. I just think Chop Robinson, now well, we

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 2>won't talk about college sacks anymore. We're just gonna talk

0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.440
<v Speaker 2>about this guy going to Pro Bowls being an All

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Pro player, because boy was he good the second half

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 2>of last year. And it just shows you making the transition,

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:35.960
<v Speaker 2>learning things and sometimes when the time's right, it takes off.

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:38.679
<v Speaker 2>We talk about all the time with quarterbacks, but we

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.920
<v Speaker 2>never give the other positions the same grace. Then maybe

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 2>it might take a little more time.

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a great point to end it on, too,

0:26:45.600 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think a big credit to Ryan Crow and

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>to Anthony Weaver and Austin Clark forgetting chopping that kind

0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of his I guess his plan as a pro and

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the developmental plan for what he was able to kind

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:56.159
<v Speaker 1>of do and add to his play as the year

0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:58.200
<v Speaker 1>went along. Very excited to see what's on deck for

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:00.400
<v Speaker 1>him here and your number two. You can hear him

<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 3>You take care and away he goes.

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Last break right there on the other side, my breakdown

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:46.919
<v Speaker 1>on Texas defensive back he ploys corner end safety today Baron.

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:50.400
<v Speaker 1>That's next Draft Time podcast, your host, Travis Wingfield, brought

0:27:50.440 --> 0:28:02.359
<v Speaker 1>to you by Automation. Texas defensive back Jday Baron a

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 1>very interesting study to me because this is a player

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:08.119
<v Speaker 1>who in so many ways makes so much sense for

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the Miami Dolphins, and I think the usage is both

0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:15.359
<v Speaker 1>a blessing and a curse for Jaday Baron in terms

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:17.719
<v Speaker 1>of where he's played and how he was deployed and

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.760
<v Speaker 1>how it might fit in with the Miami Dolphins defense.

0:28:19.800 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and first though, just talk about the

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>tape in general, because without looking at any coverage maps,

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you this Texas defense varied their calls

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and coverages basically on a downby down basis, and the

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 1>way that he and the safeties would communicate and pass

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:35.879
<v Speaker 1>off was a thing of beauty. It was a very

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:39.640
<v Speaker 1>veteran defense. They're well coached to their rules. One play

0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>after he filled the back on a B side, a

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 1>backside B gap run and got knocked back on a

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 1>one on one collision with Arizona State running back Cam Scatabow,

0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>who I suppose is kind of the teach tape when

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it comes to powerbacks in this year's class. He met

0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:59.320
<v Speaker 1>him head up and got knocked back at one hundred

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and eighty three pounds on a two hundred and forty

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 1>pounds back That squat or that that did a forty

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:07.360
<v Speaker 1>inch vertical an eleven foot broad jump right, so a

0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 1>very explosive player. He covered the one on a vertical

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to the field the wide side of the field, and

0:29:13.920 --> 0:29:15.960
<v Speaker 1>what looked to me like it was quarter quarter half

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:19.480
<v Speaker 1>cover six with only one vertical route, and he squats

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>on it and then motions the safety and behind him,

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 1>which that's not the safety's responsibility on that play, but

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, that safety motions back to him

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and he takes the vertical. So it told me that

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 1>they have hard and fast rules that Baron is an

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>expert in and can communicate to the rest of the

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 1>defensive backfield to get those places covered. And he just

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>plants himself on his zone to occupy a backside crossing route.

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 1>So he's taking away the most immediate, biggest play threat

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and then getting to the second biggest play threat that

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to influence based upon that route concept. And

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you see this all over his tape. You hear the

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>way he talked about, you know, emotional maturity at the combine.

0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:00.120
<v Speaker 1>How can I be committed to the process without being

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:02.480
<v Speaker 1>emotionally tied to the results because you are going to

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 1>get beat in this league, in this game. I think

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the things we covered with Malachi Stark

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 1>supplies here. You know, he makes your defense smarter, He

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 1>makes players around him better because of the way he

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 1>prepares and puts himself in advantageous positions. I think the

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 1>part that makes him most attractive to the Dolphins is

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the ability to align in all three positions as far

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.840
<v Speaker 1>as a cornerback goes and I think he could do

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 1>even more than that, And with how the Dolphins like

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to invert their corners and get them back into deep,

0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 1>deep coverage halfs. In terms of like playing safety, I

0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>lean towards a Brian Branch type role when he's playing

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of that backside safety slot combination where he can

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:41.239
<v Speaker 1>match up on tight ends and running backs, he can

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 1>come down and fit the run. He can blitz occasionally,

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and I thought with his makeup, he might be a

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 1>more frequent blitzer, but Texas only blitzed him twenty times

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:53.400
<v Speaker 1>really every year that he played there. That includes playing

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:56.479
<v Speaker 1>primarily as a slot primarily as the boundary X receiver

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:58.760
<v Speaker 1>cover guy. You know, not a lot of reps to

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the field, but he played multiple roles in terms of

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 1>how he rushed, how he dropped, how he played zone,

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 1>how he played man. From that slot and from that

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>boundary position, member, you're gonna you hear boundary a lot,

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's referred to as just outside cornerbacks, but that's

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 1>not the correct phrasing because boundary means the short side

0:31:15.960 --> 0:31:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of the field. The field is the wide side, so

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>plenty of reps in multiple roles, but the way he

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>processes and moves from his spot on zone turns, that's

0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>what really makes him attractive to me and makes me

0:31:27.560 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 1>curious about how he might be deployed here, because this

0:31:29.800 --> 0:31:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is a team that does have a very good rush

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and sim pressure package and take away the hot reed

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:37.640
<v Speaker 1>originally try to find a way to break a free

0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.120
<v Speaker 1>runner and take away the quarterbacks first option. That's kind

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:41.760
<v Speaker 1>of what Baron can do, I think, in the way

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 1>that Malachi Starks kind of did for the Georgia Bulldogs.

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>But I think he can play enough man coverage to

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 1>give you the best of both worlds for a defense

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that leaned on Moore man coverage down the stretch and

0:31:50.480 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>probably wants to be that more in twenty twenty five

0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 1>as well. I mean this guy, though, the zone drops

0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and the processing from those positions, whether it's the curl

0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 1>flat which is on the out side part of the field,

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:02.959
<v Speaker 1>the hook zone down the middle, and kind of that

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Brian Branch like robber slash hook zone drop role, which

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 1>again lends itself to the concept that you can put

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 1>him in a three man cornerback group that can all

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 1>play each spot and that can allow you to vary

0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 1>up your rush looks and disguise the matchups you want

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to dictate from a defensive perspective, and you know that's

0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:22.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of a misnomer, like you can't dictate matchups on defense,

0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 1>But when you have quarterbacks that can do that, that's

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:27.080
<v Speaker 1>what it allows you to do. When you're that interchangeable,

0:32:27.440 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you can kind of dictate how you match up on

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the offense. His eyes are maybe the best in the class.

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 1>He was targeted twice in the first half of the

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Clemson game, both pass breakups where you freeze the tape

0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 1>when the quarterback's hands separate right when the ball is

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be delivered and he's already moving. So he

0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 1>likes to play from depth where he can assess and

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 1>cut off the route ahead of time. He did that

0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:49.239
<v Speaker 1>also in the first half of that game on a

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 1>non target on a drag route from short motion where

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:55.240
<v Speaker 1>he is playing to the field on the number one receiver,

0:32:55.320 --> 0:32:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the widest receiver to the field, and he takes a

0:32:57.800 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 1>short motion and then turns that kind of head start

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:02.920
<v Speaker 1>into a drag route across the field, and you see

0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Barron just stay like two yards on top of it

0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and run it off at the pass where the catch

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.960
<v Speaker 1>point would have happened and just takes it away. And

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 1>then from a temperament and physicality and play style note,

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a great tackler with a will to

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 1>put his face in the fan. He will misstackles, but

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're tackling in space, that often your mistackle rate's

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be a lot higher than a linebacker or

0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:25.600
<v Speaker 1>a defensive lineman. But when he needs to go fit

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 1>a run like the scatter boat rep, he'll do that.

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 1>He's also never bothered by his sense of his sense

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 1>of urgency, like really in any sense of the game,

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.479
<v Speaker 1>but in particular the physical aspect. I'm sure you've all

0:33:35.480 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 1>seen the pick he had against Georgia where he just

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 1>squats on a route and engages the receiver as he

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 1>goes to initiate the contact, he kind of absorbs it,

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>takes it, shucks him off to the side, makes the pick,

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and runs it back to like the five yard line.

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:49.920
<v Speaker 1>So he likes to fight fire with fire when that

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 1>receiver will initiate the contact, which defenders have to be

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 1>careful about that because you can get flagged, especially at

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:58.280
<v Speaker 1>this level, if you do that. But he's like if

0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the receiver initiates and the dB usually reps will keep

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the flag in their pocket, and I think he's kind

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:05.440
<v Speaker 1>of savvy in the way he does that. I think

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the question for Baron coming in will be the ability

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:09.880
<v Speaker 1>to play press coverage, but I don't think that's because

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 1>he can't do it. He just wasn't really asked to

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:13.920
<v Speaker 1>do it a lot. At Texas it was almost always

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.720
<v Speaker 1>off or when he was pressed up, it was inside.

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 1>As a possible blitz convert option. I think a lot

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:21.360
<v Speaker 1>of teams will look at him as a nickel slot type,

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:23.040
<v Speaker 1>but I do think that he can play on the

0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 1>outside because of the best feel in the class, whether

0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:28.400
<v Speaker 1>it's in zone or man off coverage, and he's a

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:32.440
<v Speaker 1>really good tackler. He's processed oriented. I think that McDaniel's

0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:34.759
<v Speaker 1>comments at the owners meetings about the importance of guys

0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:37.520
<v Speaker 1>who want to win and love football and how that

0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:40.160
<v Speaker 1>can translate to a culture. I think that builds towards,

0:34:40.160 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, winning those big games late in the season.

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I think Baron fits all of those.

0:34:44.200 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>So if he makes it to pick thirteen, I'll be

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll be one of the best options I

0:34:49.080 --> 0:34:53.680
<v Speaker 1>have him over Starks right now in that position. But yeah,

0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:56.440
<v Speaker 1>just a really, really, really good football player, and the

0:34:56.480 --> 0:34:58.799
<v Speaker 1>two knocks are essentially out of his control lack of

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:01.080
<v Speaker 1>real true press rep. And he'll be twenty four and

0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the season starts. That second one kind of a big

0:35:03.600 --> 0:35:06.480
<v Speaker 1>deal because your second contract, you played really well four

0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 1>years in, you get that extension. You're twenty eight years old,

0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 1>which is closer to that kind of that drop off

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in that cliff. But like we talked about, this is

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a guy that I think can play into his mid

0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:17.959
<v Speaker 1>thirties as a kind of strong safety slot nickel type.

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 3>So big fan of Jaday Baron.

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I would have him as my top guy that we've

0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:23.919
<v Speaker 1>done these deep profile dives on Malachi Starks number two,

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:26.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll get to Tyler Warren and Kenneth Grant, nick e

0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Man Worry. I want to do a whole bunch of

0:35:28.040 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 1>these before the draft and continue to build the profile

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.040
<v Speaker 1>out of Day two and Day three possible prospects as well.

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I watched Andrew mccouba as well as Alfred Collins on

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that Texas tapes. We'll cover those guys and gets you

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:39.760
