WEBVTT - NFL DRAFT Round 2+3 Recap: CB Trey Amos | Ticket to the Draft Podcast | Washington Commanders | NFL 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.400 On today's episode of Tickets to the Draft Podcast, we 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:06.160 are recapping Day two of the NFL Draft. Come on down, 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.000 Trey Amos. We're excited about what you bring to this team. 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:10.680 It all starts right now. 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:18.040 Welcome to the Ticket to Draft Podcast. 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.360 I'm Logan Paulson here with Justin Guy Jason as always 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.320 represented by Seakeeek. This summer, seekek has your ticket to 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.040 the best live concert in the DMV at Northwest Stadium. 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:31.120 Seek the Officier Priority Ticket Partner of Northwest Stadium. I 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.440 always want to say Washington Commanders, but it's Northwest Stadium. 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.279 We're extoked about that, and we are stoked because our 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.479 second round picker, the Washington Commander second round pick is 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.199 in and it's Trey Amos. And I honestly couldn't have 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:44.960 been happier at the moment. Like it was funny. I 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:46.400 was kind of going through my board. You and I 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.640 were talking. It was like, hey man, here are all the 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.320 edges that are gone, and all the guys that we 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.839 were really really excited about weren't there. And it's like, well, 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.560 there's this player, there's this player. And then you get 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.800 to the cornerback Calum and it's like Trey Mos is 0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.560 right there and in terms of that tier, in terms 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.200 of that play ranking, in terms of the skill so 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.640 that he brings. I just felt like it was kind 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.360 of right on the money and write what they needed 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.399 in terms of best player available for Washington. 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.040 What another great day for Adam Peters, I think, right, 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.640 And it's the same it's we're gonna get tired of 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.000 talking like this where it's like he stuck to his board. 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.560 This was the guy that was their no need to 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:22.880 move up, no need to move down. The draft was 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.720 coming right to you right the way you wanted. You 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.520 felt comfortable where you were. Yeah, and Trey Amos a 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.520 cornerback from Ole Miss, I mean, he fits in need right. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.160 But it's also it didn't feel like we need to 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.600 draft a cornerback here. It felt like, okay, this is 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.840 a player like what we're saying, like if we were 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.920 looking at cornerback, they were like, I think you had three, right, 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.160 I had probably like three guys and Amos was one 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.120 of them that was right and there. So it was like, 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.440 all right, this makes complete sense. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:49.160 Yeah, I think it was. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.200 I'm trying to remember the exact guys on my board, 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.160 but it was like Shavon Revel, who I really liked, 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.560 but Tray most and again just to kind of draw 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.520 a comparison between those two players, like Sean Revel did 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.040 a lot of really good things at ECU, right, But 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.600 when you look at Trey Amos, like his story, I 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:04.960 think is something that sticks out to you. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.120 Like started at what is it, Louisiana La Fayette. 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.279 Or something like that was the first school, transferred to Alabama, 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.760 then transfers to Ole Miss. Three defenses, three defense, three 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.600 different defensive coordinators, And I think you watch him last 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.919 year on tape and I think you got to see 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.280 a guy who just has a really good feel, you know, 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.520 a really good feel for the position. Can play man coverage, 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.000 can play zone. I think he's better in zone coverage situations. 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.120 But the thing that sticks out to me is his 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.680 ball skills. I talked about this on the show right 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.520 after the pick was in. And when you watch how 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.600 he catches the football, how he tracks the football, how 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.080 he can play with vision on the quarterback even in 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.919 like tight man situations and not lose contact with his guy, 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.760 I really think that's the thing that separates him. And 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.760 one of the things about Ravel is he was kind 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.919 of this unmolded ball of clay. And when you look 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.360 at Amos, he is much more polished, much more established, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.280 much more NFL ready, And I think when you talk 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.520 about a guy that's going to come in and contribute 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.880 right away, Amos is definitely, I think a little bit 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:05.040 higher on the list than a guy like Shavonnahrel. So obviously, 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.320 sometimes when you're doing draft boards and we're doing draft boards, 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:08.919 we're not doing it for a team. We have nothing 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.520 kind of in mind just doing We're just doing it right. 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.760 So I do think that this is a really really 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.520 nice fit for the Washington Commanders because again, like one 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.280 of the first thing Dan said, this was way back 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.960 when the offseason started, when they look at defensive backs, 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.680 like one of the qualities they're looking for is ball skills, 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.000 and he's got them and couple that with the polish 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.720 and the other things, and I just think about what 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.359 it does for the defense and it makes me super excited. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.800 Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, he's a physical press corner and 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.560 he's got a little bit of length, Like he's not 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.720 the longest, but he's got the length there to compete 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.080 with those fifty to fifty balls that are there and 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.800 he's he's relatively. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.080 Smooth, and I think the thing that was super surprising, 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.800 and I think this is something that we're starting to 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.520 get a feel for, starting to get a read on 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:57.800 with Adam Peters, is they do draft athletes like Connor. 0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.680 Lee had a very specific athletic profile. 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.040 And when he came in and talked to us after 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.920 the pick yesterday after the first round picked after they 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:04.840 drafted Josh Connell. 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:05.560 You can check out that. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:10.040 Interview on the YouTube page. He said everyone was alignment, 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.640 so obviously think the scouts, the coaches, But then the 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.920 other thing he said was the analytics department, and the 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.240 analytics department they've kind of I'm sure they're building out models, 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.360 they kind of say this is what plays at certain positions. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.200 And I look at treemos and he tested. I don't 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.640 have the numbers right in front of me at the moment, 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.080 but he tested extremely well at the combine, ran way 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.279 faster than I thought he would run, jumped away better, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.720 his three cone was awesome, and the field work was exceptional, 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.000 just incredibly smooth. I think that's the other thing that 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.359 jumps about him on tape is the smoothness which he 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.880 plays and it's exciting to think about him here with 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.400 Joe Wood Junior, who has developed a lot of really 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.719 talented corners over the course of his career and developed 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.760 a lot of corners that have a great ball production. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.320 And I think he kind of fits that, I don't 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.159 say exact mold, but very very similar mold. And so 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.480 thinking about what that allows you to to do with 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.080 the defense. You know, we talked about it with Connor 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.279 Lee yesterday. His ability to kind of now the offense 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.560 is ability to get the five best offensive lineman on 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:08.000 the field. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:09.640 Now you can do that with the secondary. 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.200 Maybe Mike Sanders still bumps back inside and think about 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.680 Trey Amos with if he develops with the right ball skills, 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.240 think about Marshawn Latimore, think about Mike Sanders still in 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.320 the slot. Like that is a devastating kind of combination 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.320 of defensive backs. And I'm really excited to see what 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:25.839 that looks like. 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.719 Yeah, I mean, he's six one, one ninety five right, 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.440 thirty one and one fourth inch arms. He wanted to 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.720 talk about some of his combine stuff. He did a 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.440 four four three forty with a one point six ten, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.080 but his vertical thirty two point five right, broad jump 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.560 ten sixty pretty explosive aout. 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:44.800 Yeah. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.560 I mean the vertical is not great, but that broad 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.400 jump is excellent. The forty's excellent. And I said, like, 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.839 you know, you've got to kind of compare them the 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:53.920 field work as well, And again it just stuck out 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.520 to me how smooth he was on the field. 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.640 So you know, I think that's pretty cool. 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.120 And here's the thing. So he does have like a 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.640 knack for the ball, like he can track it very well. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.960 But here's what I think makes you look at him 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.839 and go, Okay, that's a commander because we saw it 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.560 with Mikey Sanders still from last year's Guess what he 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.680 doesn't mind doing tackling. He does not mind tackling and 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.560 mixing it up in the run game and being a 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:23.799 decent run support defender, something that is obviously very important 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:24.640 to this staff here. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.920 Yeah, and I think that's you know, like he's not 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.479 a perfect player. I don't want to make it seem 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.719 like like he is, but you know there's like sometimes 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.200 where he doesn't look super urgent. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.920 But I think it's. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.400 Not great top end speed. 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.760 Yeah, he tested way better than people thought, but I 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.159 think you see a guy who's a willing, a willing 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:42.160 and efficient tackler. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.360 He's not like a thunderous tackler, but a willing and. 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.240 Efficient Tackler's the way I would characterize him the and 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.400 I think the versatility that he brings, Like one of 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.320 the things I get so stressed out with the corners 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.240 is like, let's take Stravunravel as an another example, Like 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.640 he is a man corner, doesn't have a great feeling zone, right, 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.159 and then when you look at Tremo's great feeling and 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.680 man great feeling zone, played in multiple systems, asked to 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.400 do different things, heard different languages, and so I don't 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.960 want to say he's scheme agnostic, but it does seem 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.680 that he has that kind of potential to be a 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.760 little bit more schime agnostic than some of the corners 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.800 we've brought it in the past, kind of like Mike Sandrasol, 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.400 a guy who's just a good football player, right, different 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.120 type of football player, but a good football player. And 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.120 I think that's what this player is. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.720 The Thing about Trey Amos is that one of the 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.800 things that I wrote down is like my question marks 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.520 about him in my notes was that he can be 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.720 overly aggressive because he wants to make a play, and 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.400 that's not always a bad thing, right, Like that's why 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.320 I call him question marks not negatives necessarily, is because 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.760 Fred Smut says this, gosh, I hate Himm this guy. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.680 He just gets on me all the time. But one 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.920 of the things he said that is absolutely accurate is 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.600 like you're either as a corner. You're either born with 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.840 ball skills or you're not. It's really hard to suddenly 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.120 become a ball skill guy, especially once you hit the 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.239 top level. Right, if you're not a guy that's making 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.280 plays on the ball in college, in high school, probably 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:06.560 not going to do it in the NFL. It only 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.160 gets harder for you. But what you can do is 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.920 say that's an overly aggressive guy that goes makes plays. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:16.440 We can teach them discipline without losing that skill. Like 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:20.080 that skills harder to teach than the discipline. And that's 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.680 something that I think you're going to get with Trey 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.240 Amos says, maybe a little more discipline. He's not going 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.240 to jump routes a little too, a little more, but 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.400 a good coach will also say, hey, when you really 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.040 believe it and you see it and we have good communication, 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:33.559 jump that route make that play. 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.360 I'm glad you brought up the coaching thing because I 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.640 think that's huge. And again, like one of the things 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.920 that Fred talks about and other defensive backs that I've 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.480 talked to about, is a great coach will give you 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.680 the parameters about when they want you taking those shots. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.520 And if you can be more selective and more specific 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:53.040 about knowing when you're insulated and making those shots or 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.680 taking those shots and being aggressive, I think that's outstanding. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:56.840 And you know, like when you think about it in 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.520 the context of the defense, it gets me extremely ecpcause 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.200 I think in this division, that allows you to create 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.440 better matchups on the back end, It allows you to 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:06.880 help the pass rush. We always had about the PAS 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.400 rush helping the coverage, which is very true. And again 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.440 I look at the second the third wave of free 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.480 agency post draft, there's going to be some good veterans available. 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.760 There's also three more picks available where you can get 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.000 a kind of a juice up pass rusher, maybe in 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:21.920 at that one twenty nine spot. We'll see how the 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.559 draft ends up falling. But now we got a secondary 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.880 that can do some more dynamic stuff that can be 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.160 a force multiplier by creating turnovers. With this addition of 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.959 one player, because you've got because it's him, it's Mike 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.400 Sander still it's Kawon Martin in the back end, there's 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.360 some really interesting pieces now that have to gel obviously 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.240 and have to develop, like that's a big thing. We 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.800 always have to a caveat there. But it just it 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.240 now gives the defense some more teeth. It lets them 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.160 be more aggressive if they want a pressure more Joe 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.240 wit Junior, which is always exciting. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.920 You might see something a little bit more like what 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:55.240 you saw with the Dan Quinn Joe at defense in Dallas, 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.920 right where they were ballhawks, and that's what they want 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.720 to be here. They talk about it all the time. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.000 Ball is life. That means we're going to protect the 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.000 ball on offense, We're going to go get the ball 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.920 on defense. And while the team got better over the 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.839 season on the defensive side of taking the way the ball, 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.679 they still are looking to improve in that area. And 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.520 so you're getting a guy in here that allows you to, 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.199 like you said, you gotta gel, right, But it's the 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.400 coaching like this feels like it fits perfectly within what 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.880 Deeq and Joe Junior want to do. Defensively versus some 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.520 of the other corners that was still on the board 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:29.960 at the time. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:31.839 No, I think that's one hundred percent right. And I 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.280 think and I think that's the other thing. It gives 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.000 me a lot of confidence. It gives me confidence with 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.560 the Connerly thing, like just what they they were able 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.400 to do with the offensive line, Lasher and how they're 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.760 able to develop some elements of that group that I 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.319 didn't think we're going to develop very well. And I 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.160 look at the defense and what they were able to 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.760 do again with guys like Kwan, with guys like Noig Bnoghany, 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.120 and finding ways to make them better football players, and 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.280 bringing Treyemos, a guy that we just talked about his 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.320 athletic upside, his physical upside, his diverse skill set already, 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.400 and thinking this is a perfect environment for him to 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.000 develop and become a commander and kind of fit in 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.240 with this like defensive culture that they're building and kind 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.760 of you've got great mentors like Bobby Wagner's always want 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.040 we got to talk about. But that's kind of a 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.240 all of a sudden because of this one edition. It's 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.760 so fun because the group is just down more talented 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:18.960 and and can do a little bit more damage, which 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:19.520 is pretty fun. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.040 So all right, so no picking the third round on Saturday. 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.080 We're going to have the rest of the draft. We 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:26.400 have a fourth, fifth. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.680 Yeah, you have a fourth and a sixth and a seventh. 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.719 That's right, fourth, six and seven, so we had three 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.600 more picks to go. What are you obviously this is 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.200 a tough question. I know this is a tough question 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.840 because at this point in any draft you really don't 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.679 know how the board's going to fall. But what are 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.240 you expecting to see from Washington? I'm not necessarily saying 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.880 give me a player, but are you expecting them to 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.480 stay the same that we've already seen this year and 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.120 let the board fall to them and just go with 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.600 the best player available quote unquote, or do you think 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:55.920 at some point they're going to be like, all right, 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.520 let's really target and edge rusher, let's really target a 0:11:58.600 --> 0:11:59.600 running back something like that. 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.360 Well, I think as you move down the board, best 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.000 player available becomes more subjective. Every year I've done my 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.280 big board, I kind of am trying to pick the 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.079 top one hundred guys that I think are going to 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.840 get drafted. It doesn't necessarily mean the orders. Sometimes off 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.520 the order is subjective to team, you know, and I 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.760 think that's important to keep in mind. But what I 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:19.720 do think is going to happen is that they're going 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.840 to prioritize a couple guys late. I think when you 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.920 look at what they did last year, I think is 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.360 a good case study. Right, you got John Baptiste late, 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.480 a guy that has traits right, he's got thirty three and. 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.120 Strong s six fives. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.320 He's got the ability to project to something more. And 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.320 we talked a little bit about David Walker in today's show, 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.800 like that's a guy or Osiah Stewart from Michigan, these 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:47.520 kind of maybe tweener pass rush types. Ada Huntington from 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.719 I think it's too lane, right, a guy that has 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.160 got these kind of trait cy pass rush ability. Again, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.600 those guys will be around, and so you say, hey, 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.880 of our board, who's the best player available who can 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.400 impact our roster the most? And don't think it is 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.160 like they have to have long arms, they have to 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.400 have a ten ris. I think that's something that they're 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.480 looking for, no doubt. I think that's something when you 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:09.520 look at last year's kind of picks. After the fourth round, 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.280 they're all kind of these long traitsy athletic guys that 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.800 can project the starting roles at some point. But I 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.280 think that's kind of the way I look at it, 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.120 Like the board for the Commanders is going to be 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.640 different than every other team in the NFL. Right, Dan 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.920 Quinn made this joke today. It's not the it's not 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.840 the the Denny's menu, it's not the Cheesecake Factory menu. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.120 It's not the same for every team in the NFL. 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.920 It's a little bit different. Yeah, it's a different restaurant here. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.679 And so I do think there are going to be 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.719 good players potentially there in the fourth round that can 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.680 add past rosh juice. I think there's dynamic running backs 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.400 there and the fourth round that could add explosive elopments 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.120 to the offense. I think there's offensive playmakers that could 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.600 be interesting there, like Dante Thorton, you know from Tennessee, 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.480 just as an example a long trade cy, high upside 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.240 kind of play. And I think you'll see more swings 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.040 like that. Like the one of the things I appreciate 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.640 about Adam Peters is in the first two rounds of 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.880 last year's draft and this he's kind of taking. I 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.920 don't say safe picks, but just very high floor picks. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.560 And then obviously the character stays the same throughout the draft, 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.680 but it seemed very clear to me that they were like, oh, 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.040 this dude is a like Dominie Campton's a great example. Yeah, 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.400 he's a big safety, he's got thirty three inch arms, 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.360 he ran a sub five point forty, Like, let's get that. 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.200 Get that guy in the building. Tyler Owens is a 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:23.760 great example. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.120 His ris was off the charts, right, and he brought 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.000 them as him as a free agent. But that's what 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.240 I think you're kind of gearing towards is those guys 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.960 that again high upside role players in this team. And 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.960 the great thing about this draft is I do think 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.200 with one twenty eight there's gonna be some good football 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:40.960 players still there. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:41.640 Like we're still in. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:42.960 That kind of I don't want to say the sweet spot 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.040 of the draft, but still kind of the meat of 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.120 the draft. And I do think that that that with 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.080 that pick, there's someone you're gonna be able to get. 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:52.840 And then then after that it will be interesting to 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.600 see kind of how they play off each other. Right, 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.720 what are the traits, what are the qualities, what are 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.760 the positions? That you're kind of hunting for in the 0:14:58.800 --> 0:14:59.640 sixth and seventh round. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.960 Yeah. Absolutely, Man, this has been a ton of fun. 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.280 You referenced a show. You were like, hey, check out 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.440 the show. Dan Quinn was on it. You made something. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.520 What we're talking about is we were live when we 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.800 were right before the draft started, we had a pre 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.440 pre show and then we add a on the clock show. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.600 Those are going to live for ever on YouTube. And 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.480 one of the things that I love that it's going 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.800 to live for ever on YouTube about is that when 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.360 we were in the first round and we were on 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.760 the clock, when we were at our pick twenty nine, you, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.560 mister Logan Paulson said, oh, here's a guy I have 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.520 as one of my best available. We ended up picking that. Dude. 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.360 You're just a savant. You're the draft grew. I don't 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.280 care what Fred says, you calling it. And then when 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.640 we went on the clock today in the second round, 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.840 you went, hey, guys, what about tree Amos. I think 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.880 that that's right there. And so, dude, you're just been 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.000 locked in. You've been on it. What a great process 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.000 sitting here watching this with you where you're like, you're 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.800 you're blowing these guys away like I see it with 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.880 like I think Beamtchieven like commented on it, like you're 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.320 sitting here like this guy makes sense for him. This 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.920 guy makes sense this guy and you're just nailing them 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.120 as a good down the line. It's a testament to 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:05.960 your football and knowledge. I love doing this with you, 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:07.160 and well, it's been a lot of fun. 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.080 We'll say this like this show forces me to study, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.760 forces me to prep, and so it's like I get 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.680 from the Senior Bowl all the way through the draft, 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.800 all the way through these picks, like we're watching talking 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.760 through guys and I think this is and it's honestly 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.360 bro like it's a it's awesome doing the show with 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:24.720 you because I respect your football. 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:25.240 I'm not kidding. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:26.880 I know you're just a guy, but it's great to 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.440 have a sounding board to be like, hey, I saw 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:29.720 this with so and so and you're like, I don't 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.600 really see it that way, And that to me helps 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:33.640 kind of flush out the evaluation. Makes me better at 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.840 my job and makes this show so much better. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:37.880 I think the reason I have so much fun with 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.200 this is that I feel like I'm playing with house 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.360 money when I'm talking to on this I can just 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.560 say whatever, and you can be like you're not right 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.720 and like, but I can also give you, like some 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.160 crazy fan, just a guy take and you're like, you 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:52.720 know what, that actually kind of makes sense in a 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.400 weird way. Like one of my favorite things that I 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.040
