1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I am Dale Lally. He is Matt Williamson

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: and this is a drive on Steelers Nation Radio and

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Matt Daniel Jeremiah. Just prior to the start of the

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: NFL Scouting Combine came out with his second mock draft.

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: Ooh nice. He did his postseas it had won rated

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: in the postseason when the regular season ended. This is

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: his first shot at everything since the season ended, and

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: again pre scouting Combine, things will change here. So I'm

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: starting to get a lot of people talking to those year,

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: and you know he's starting to hear a lot. Yeah.

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: So if a number one he has Jalen Carter going

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: to the Bears, I think that's pretty chalky, dude. He

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: has Bryce Young going to Houston. Pretty chockey. Three oh,

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Tyree Wilson going the edge rusher at Texas Tech going

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: through the Arizona Cardinals. Wow wow, I mean I never

16
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: really have had hesitated with Wilson going five to Seattle

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks Anderson Carter. Who's next Wilson over will Anderson? Though,

18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing, so what are you looking for? He's big,

19
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: He's I mean, he is a classic four three end right, Tyree,

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: Wilson's six six, two hundred and seventy five pounds. Um.

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: You know, so if you're looking for a four three

22
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: rush end, he's you know, he fits the bill. If

23
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: you're looking for a three four outside linebacker, then Anderson

24
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: is probably a little bit better fit. Now that doesn't

25
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: mean that you know, he can't he can't do one

26
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: or the other. But Anderson isn't nearly as big. No, no, right.

27
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: You know when you when you look at the you know,

28
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: in the in the big picture, he's listed to six four,

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: two forty three. So it's I mean, you're talking about

30
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: a two inch, you know, thirty thirty pound difference. Kind

31
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: of like one year ago, nobody had Trey Von Walker

32
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: mocked number one, you know, I mean he was seventh

33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: eighth boy athletic traits. You know, George's d's great. Is

34
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: he even a standout? Blah blah blah. But teams look

35
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: at these dudes, and I bet when next week when

36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: we see Tyree Anderson in compression shorts and running around

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: doing drills, be like, I wouldn't mind coaching that guy,

38
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Tyree Wilson. If you look at

39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: the body type, yeah, is Miles Garrett is gonna be rare. Yeah, yeah,

40
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Whereas if you look at will Anderson, he's more TJ.

41
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: He's more TJ. Was gonna say, yeah, but yeah, you're right,

42
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: a little bit leaner. They are different, They're different pieces.

43
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: So it's I mean, you know, it depends on what

44
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: kind of not not one hundred percent, what style of

45
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: defense dies you want to play, but the bigger guy,

46
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, again, if the if the athletic traits are similar,

47
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of people myself included, didn't

48
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 1: think Anderson had a standout season. No, he didn't last year.

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: He's had a better career. Yeah, yeah, but no, he

50
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: was not stand out. That's kind of Hutchinson verse, Trayvon Walker.

51
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: I know it really is, Yeah, it really is. At four,

52
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: is the Colt steaking CJ. Stroud logical? At five, the

53
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Seahawks then take Willie Anderson. Yeah. So I think Seattle's

54
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: in an interesting spot where I used to think that

55
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: they were kind of there's a line under four. Yeah,

56
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: and I didn't even think of this, you know, this

57
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: this latest news with Wilson. But I think Levis or

58
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Richardson is going to be in play at five too.

59
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: When it's all said and done. Yeah, that Seattle might

60
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: get serious offers at five, or might get Willie Anderson

61
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: with Levis going three. You know, fives are pretty I

62
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: thought kind of thought five I was big drop off

63
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: after four in terms of value. I don't think that's

64
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: true anymore. Yeah, I don't know if that's the case.

65
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Six he has the Lions taking Miles Murphy addresser at

66
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: at Clemson eddrushers and quarterbacks. Yeah. Seven, the Raiders take

67
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: will Levis h At eight, the Falcons and take Lucas

68
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: van Ness the d dresher out of Iowa drushers and quarterbacks,

69
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: addressers and quarterbacks. At nine, the Carolina Panthers take Peter Scronsky,

70
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman out of the Northwestern. Okay, there's several spots.

71
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Tennessee always comes to mind with him where we don't

72
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: need a left tackle or a center, we just need

73
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: leave some some parts in our own line. He'll be

74
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: one of them. Yeah, you know. At ten, he has

75
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: Devin Witherspoon going to the Eagles first cornerback off the board.

76
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: I think that's very much in play. At eleven, he

77
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: has a Titans taking Pair Johnson Junior first well, first

78
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: true offensive tackle off the board. Yeah, yeah, that makes

79
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: perfect sense too. Well. The Texans take Jordan Addison. Yeah.

80
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: I mean we had that franchise tag conversation two segments ago.

81
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: Receivers are gonna get overdrafted for financial reasons, and I think, yeah,

82
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: John Doatson's a perfect example. Nothing, he's bad, but we'll

83
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: see that this year. But I'm sitting there kind of

84
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: going s Jeordan Addison the twelfth best player in his draft. No,

85
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: but if you get him for five or six years

86
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: cost efficient, Yeah, all right, and he's a real solid

87
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: number two catches seventy five balls a year, it's well

88
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: worth it. At thirteen, he has the Jets taking Broderick

89
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: Jones the offensive tackle at a Georgia. Fourteen, the Patriots

90
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: take Christian Gonzalez cornerback out of Wye. One of the

91
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: Jones is up for free agency too, they could do.

92
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: I could see that being tackle or corner. At fifteen,

93
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: the Packers take Dalton Kinkaide to tight end out of Utah.

94
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: Everybody likes a different one better, Yeah, what you're looking for? Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

95
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: it's sixteen. The Commanders take Joey Porter, junior, cornerback out

96
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: of Penn State. He would have been one of the

97
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: three guy'd considered with the next pick. And now I'm

98
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: not thrilled about corner. Yeah, Okay, I don't see this happening.

99
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: He has at seventeen, the Steelers taking Darnell Right, the

100
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: offensive tackle out of Tennessee. In his reasoning, writes a

101
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: plug and play right tackle for an offensive line that

102
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: needs to be overhauled to protect last year's first round pick,

103
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett. I don't know that the offensive line needs

104
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: to be overhauled. I disagree with everything he said. Yeah, yeah,

105
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: And I don't know that they're in the market for

106
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: a right tackle a guy who's a right tackle. Now,

107
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I think Wright could play left tackle, but he made

108
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: the move last year for his senior season, he had

109
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: been tennessee starting left tackle. He moved over to the

110
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: right side. But I think I think he saw that,

111
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, he could put better tape out if he

112
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: was just a right tackle. Yes, So I kind of

113
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: lump him and Jones, the monster from Yeah State together

114
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are saying right tackle only.

115
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: But I do think if the Steelers were to add

116
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: one of those, and I wouldn't take either one at seventeen. Frankly,

117
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking, like you know, the early second rounder.

118
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: You could either say, hey, you've basically a year or

119
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: as long as you need to learn to play the

120
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 1: left side, or you could say, boy, you're so good,

121
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: Hey chooks, do you want to play left side? I

122
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: don't love that, but I just don't love the term

123
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: pure right tackle, Like I don't know that that's setting

124
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: stone for these guys. Yeah, I'm with you. So let's

125
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: see who in this situation we would take at seventeen,

126
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: and I know who I would take at seventeen. At eighteen,

127
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: he has the Lions taking Anthony Richardson. Well, you just

128
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: get out of the way. You're taking branch right there,

129
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: without a doubt, without a doubt doubt would be Breecy. Well, yeah,

130
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: Breecy would be the other conversation. But it's one of

131
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: those two guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not another corner,

132
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: it's not another tackle. Yeah. At nineteen, he has the

133
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Buccaneers taking Bijean Robinson, but we kind of brushed over it.

134
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: The Lions taking Richardson at eighteen. Yeah, someone's calling me

135
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: at seventeen because they want Richardson without a doubt. Yeah,

136
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: now I'll do I move back a spot or two.

137
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: Or let's say Tampa. Let's say Tampa Bay wants Richardson, Yeah,

138
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: or Seattle or Seattle passed on a quarterback and now

139
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: they want Richardson. Okay, I can move back a couple

140
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: of spots. Yeah, you'd love to have Richardson on the board.

141
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: At seventeen. Yeah. At twenty he then has the Seahawks

142
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: taking Jackson Smith and Jigba. Okay, the Chargers at twenty

143
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: one take Quinton Johnston. Makes some sense. Keeman Allen could

144
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: be a cap cut and if not, he's not here

145
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: for where they would have some big receivers with Williams.

146
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: But okay, uh. At twenty two he has the Ravens

147
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: taking Brian Branch, which is exactly what they'd do with

148
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: the Seors passed up, you know, for all the reasons

149
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned, you know. Yeah, and then he would play

150
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: the slot and Kyle Hamilton would go back and play

151
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: safety and they would just throw a lot at you

152
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: like make gun Branch would right. Sorry, that's that's why

153
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: I would make that pick right in a heartbeat, Yeah, yeah,

154
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. At twenty three, the Vikings take Deonte

155
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: Banks the cornerback out of Maryland. I need to learn more,

156
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: but I would. I'm talking on both sides of my mouth,

157
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: but I would. If I learned more and loved them,

158
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: maybe I would go there. It's seventeen. If things didn't

159
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: go he might be my seventeenth player. I think that's

160
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a stretch at seventeen, but I think

161
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: the Vike's taking a corner makes tons of sent tons

162
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: of sense. Yeah. At twenty four, the Jaguars take Breesy. Sure,

163
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: At twenty five, the Giants take Jalen Hyatt. Greasy's damage

164
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: goods well, he says, Brecy battled through adversity at Clemson.

165
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: I believe that former number one overall recruits best football

166
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: is still ahead of him. Yeah. Well, if you believe that,

167
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: then he probably goes higher than this. That's gonna say, like,

168
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: that's kind of not given DJ hard time because a

169
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: lot of people have left Breescy out of the first

170
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: round that we've we've gone through, saying nah, there's medicals.

171
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: I'm worried some have them going the Eagles at ten.

172
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: This is kind of a ride in the fence. But

173
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: he must be hearing, Yeah, mostly good. But because let's

174
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: see what happened to the combine, you know, yeah, right? Um.

175
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: At twenty six, the Cowboys take key On White. He

176
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: had your hre out of Georgia Tech. Wow, mix him

177
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: with Mica and all those guys. Yeah right. The Bills

178
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: then at twenty seven take o Cyrus Torrence. No, it

179
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: makes some sense. I mean they need to become more

180
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: physical and run the ball and off. Yes. The Bengals

181
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: at twenty eight take Michael Mayer. Yeah. I don't think

182
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: Hurst will be back. Yeah, and I don't think Boyd's

183
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: long for the team. At twenty nine, the Saints takes

184
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: a Flowers, the wide receiver from Boston College. Okay, be

185
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: a good young corps him in lave and should I

186
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: always say his name wrong the disease or whatever his

187
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: name is. He was good too, he can fly. Yeah.

188
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: The Eagles then take Felix in dk Uzoma, the edge

189
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: rusher at a case state at thirty I mean, I

190
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: certainly could see corner d line for them first. I've

191
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: seen him in the first round, I think, though, I

192
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: think I've seen him in some other spots. Get in there.

193
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: And then at thirty one, the Chiefs take Nolan Smith,

194
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the edge rusher out of Georgia, really good player. I'm

195
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: curious what he weighs in at though I've been here

196
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: in like two thirty. Yeah, that would be a little

197
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: a little light. He could be another one of those

198
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: guys that comes to the combine at two thirty eight,

199
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: you know, and then you're like, Okay, that's okay, because

200
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of things that Steelers would

201
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: like about Nolan Smith. Maybe not at seventeen, but two

202
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: thirty is and one of them, yeah, I mean sixty three,

203
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: so he could put on you know, you can probably

204
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: carry the weight. So, Matt, if things went this way

205
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, the Steelers draft at Darnell right

206
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: in the first round, Okay, who would you then take

207
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: at thirty two? I'm looking at it. I'm thinking Cam

208
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Smith or Forbes. Yeah, I was just say the Forbes

209
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: was the name I was coming up with. I kind

210
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: of overlooked Smith. I don't there's a couple tight ends

211
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: that are still interesting, but I think it'd be one

212
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: of the go offensive offense. I mean that exactly. That's

213
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: why I just I just don't think that they're going

214
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: to go defense or offense. There. I think you wait

215
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: because again I don't think they're looking for a starter

216
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: on their offensive line, and if they are, it's probably

217
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: a starting interior offensive lineman, in which case you can

218
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: wait until round two or three. So if it were right,

219
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: thirty two's up, I think we would take a corner

220
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: Smith or Forbes? Right right? What if you took branch

221
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: at seventeen and you're up now, then I would look

222
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma or Ohio State tackle John possibly. I you know, again,

223
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: you know none of the offense or none of the

224
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: off ball linebackers have gone. Right, would you consider Cam

225
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: Smith or Forbes if you've already drafted branch Um and

226
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: had Sutton signed, and had Sutton signed, Probably not then not,

227
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: But I might with the next pick consider a corner.

228
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'd take I'd take some depth there. Yeah,

229
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: and then you could take a shot at the guy.

230
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: But if, yeah, if you get Sutton signed, then you

231
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: probably don't need you know, another potential starter right out

232
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: of the gate, right, Sutton branch Smith is a bit overkill. Yeah,

233
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's nice, but it's yeah, I mean, but

234
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: you know how much is that? You know? That's um?

235
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: But again, I think linebacker is still a spot that

236
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, so you're you're looking at Sanders or maybe

237
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: you're looking at uh yeah possibly yeah, um too early

238
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: for the next tackle. Probably probably like one of those types. Yeah,

239
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: if an edge fell, if an edge fell, you know,

240
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: maybe the Auburn kid. Yeah, yeah, a good edge. That

241
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: a high quality athlete there. Yeah, I consider John Michael

242
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: Schmith's too. Well. Yeah, in this situation though, when he

243
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: took a tackle in the first round, well that you're

244
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: not gonna go offensive line offensive line brand we've been

245
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: on the clock in branch. I would consider John Michaels

246
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: or Dawan Jones or somebody. Yeah, one of those guys

247
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: I would I would certainly consider. But yeah, not after

248
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: I took an offensive tackle in the first round. Then

249
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: probably that scratches that off for a couple of rounds. Anyways,

250
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: then you're probably not taking an interior offensive lineman until

251
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: round four. So kind of looking at this two ways.

252
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: At seventeen, the Steelers take Darnell right, and it's easy

253
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: for DJ or anyone to say, I don't none of

254
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: these linemen or household names. They should take the best lineman,

255
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: and we just kind of gave him a hard time.

256
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be our pick. But I bet DJ's going,

257
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: darnel Right's going in the first round. Hundred people told me.

258
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: So this is as good spot as any. Always wanting

259
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: him in the first round, you know what I mean?

260
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: Right right now? I hear you. Yeah, I mean if

261
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: if the Chargers took him at twenty one, I'd be like, oh, okay, right,

262
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: and Commanders might take him a pick before for even

263
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean I could understand that, right right, So but yeah,

264
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: given that situation, I'm you know, given the team needs

265
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: immediate needs, I would take branch Or, I would take Breecy, yeah,

266
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: especially if he's only a right tackle, right, yeah, right right,

267
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: you're all right, darnel Right. We said right a lot.

268
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: We did say right a lot. Well, that's gonna do

269
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: it for our show today, but we will be back
