1 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to forties and free Agents. 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 2: I'm Greg Rosenthal alongside the best draft analyst in the business, 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: Daniel Jeremiah. 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: Are you getting ready, DJ? 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 2: Are you feeling like like the day is close, like 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: close enough for you? 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's getting here. I've got the updated needs sheets 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 3: from Jack Andraid, who always looks out for me. So 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 3: we've got the additions and the subtractions from free agency. 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 3: So starting to kind of shift a little bit towards 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 3: the team stuff. 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: A little bit. 13 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 3: You just memorize that, is that what you do? 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all up. 15 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: It's all up here, as is all the information from 16 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: the book Born to Referee. I'm the grid Iron by 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: Jerry Mark Right, anyone who's watching us on YouTube or 18 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: on the fast pole, you can see. I did purchase 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: the book that DJ last was in a library for 20 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: I think it costs three thirty five on Amazon. 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: A great read. 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: And I see the spine on that. I want to 23 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 3: see what kind of how big was this? Oh my gosh, 24 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 3: that's a real book that I read back in the day. 25 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: Yeah it is, uh yeah, almost three hundred pages. 26 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: Sary had a lot to get off his chest. Man. 27 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: I'll do a book report on a future episode in June, 28 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: we'll see. 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: Okay, So look, last week we talked about the teams 30 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: that didn't have first round picks, a little bit of 31 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 2: a bummer. It's more fun to talk about the teams 32 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: that do have multiple first round picks, so you can 33 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: sort things in a different way. Who has the most 34 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: you know, draft value in terms of points and if 35 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: that was the case. Actually, weirdly, the Steelers are number 36 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: one on the list, but all the teams with two 37 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: first round picks are are relatively high, including the Jets. 38 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: So we're going to go through these teams and kind 39 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: to talk about what those teams need, maybe what we 40 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: see them doing early in the draft. The Jets, of 41 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: course have two sixteen, thirty three and forty four, so 42 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: for the top forty four picks, they get the two 43 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,279 Speaker 2: extra pick because of the Sauce Gardner and quinnin Williams trades. 44 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: I think, look, they need a quarterback, but this might 45 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: not be the year for it. Otherwise, wide receiver, cornerback. 46 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: I think they could use a guard, linebacker, defensive tackle. 47 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: There's not much that they have to say no to. 48 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: But I am curious when you look at how many 49 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: edges they have DJ. Does that inform you how you 50 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: think they'll line up this two and sixteen picks specially. 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got a lot of edges. I was I 52 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: was looking at it, and that's why I had brought 53 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: this up previously. And and he's my sixth player. But 54 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: I just wonder if Carnell Tate is at least part 55 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: of the conversation there. I think that they those first 56 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: three picks and pulling them back up it's two, sixteen 57 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: thirty three. Yeah, if you're going to say what's the 58 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 3: what's the lock to sixteen and thirty, I'd say they 59 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: leave those three picks. Who are receivers at one of 60 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: those three, yes, one hundred percent. And now there's going 61 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 3: to and I think there are going to be maybe 62 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: it's a little early at two. I think at sixteen 63 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 3: you're gonna have some good options there, whether or not 64 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: you want to, you know, pull it on Tyson if 65 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 3: he's there. From a talent standpoint, makaid Lemon, I don't 66 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: think he'll get there, but there's a chance he could 67 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: be there. You never know. Omark Cooper like, they'll have 68 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 3: options there at sixteen, and then they'll have that next 69 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: wave even concepts you own I think could come into 70 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 3: play there at sixteen, and then you'll have thirty three. 71 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: You'll have another group of whiteouts there as well. So 72 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: that's the thing I feel most confident about pick two, 73 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: you know, and rvel Rece I've been going because to me, 74 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: I feel like he points more towards twenty seven than 75 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: twenty six I have. I have Bailey a little bit higher. 76 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: I think Bailey has more impact right now year one. 77 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: But you know, if they're going to go on that 78 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 3: side of the ball, I would think that would be 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: more their direction. But I also think I don't I 80 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: don't think there's going to be a market to trade back, 81 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: But they're a candidate that you'd say, man to me there, 82 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: if you could trade back and get hate, that's probably 83 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: the best thing they could do, if they could pull off. 84 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: And I mentioned the edges. 85 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: Look, they shouldn't change a pick that's going to be 86 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: about the future of the franchise because they have Joseph 87 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: Acai Will McDonald towards the end of his deal and 88 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: King you know Inigbari at edge it's just. 89 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: A position, line up and play tomorrow. But I mean again, 90 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: I think everything goes towards twenty seven. And that's why 91 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: the last mock draft that that I just gave him Reese. 92 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: And Reese to me has the highest ceiling. I like 93 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 2: that pick. I don't think it's crazy if he is 94 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 2: just playing linebacker. H to take a linebacker that early, 95 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 2: if he's that big of a difference maker. And one thing, 96 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: if you're just looking at the depth chart, you might 97 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: see like, well, they have a you know, a highly 98 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 2: paid player in Jamian Sherwood next to to Mario Davis. 99 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: Jamian Sherwood was the worst signing that Darrenmuji made last year. 100 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: Unfortunately it just did not work out. He was a 101 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: problem for that defense. I wouldn't be surprised if he 102 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: is not on this roster. If they if they take 103 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: a linebacker early, so to me, that's a huge need. 104 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: But maybe cornerback and linebacker, you know, the cornerback lines 105 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: up better at sixteen. Maybe Delane falls down to sixteen 106 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 2: and they feel like this receiver group is so deep, 107 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: and they would probably drive their fans a little crazy, 108 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: but they might feel like that's the position we're at 109 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: thirty three. We can get the best player and we 110 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: take like edge and cornerback, just keep loading up on. 111 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think those are the three positions if we're 112 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: going to just nail it down here. I think you're 113 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: talking about an edge rusher, you're talking about a corner, 114 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 3: you're talking about a wide out. And it's just looking 115 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 3: at the different you know, ways you can construct those 116 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: three positions. You know how they attack it, but that 117 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 3: that feels. And I would also say, even though they 118 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: have three first round picks next year, I believe right 119 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 3: they have three first round picks next year, if they 120 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: you know, maybe that's an opportunity again where think about 121 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 3: the perfect storm would be if they could trade down 122 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 3: from two, which I just don't know anybody would come up. 123 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 3: But if you could trade down from two and get 124 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 3: more capital in next year's draft and come away with 125 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: the receiver, that'd be the That'd be the ideal. 126 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: And I just think their path to baying employed, which 127 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: was in winning some games, which goes together, is just 128 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: nailing this draft class. I don't care what positional No 129 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: one cares about positional value. When they're getting defensive Rookie 130 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: of the Year votes. You know, when there are difference 131 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 2: makers on the field and the way they're going to 132 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: save their job and be better is to take guys 133 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: that contribute right away and then get the quarterback next year. 134 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: The Jaguars obviously have their quarterback. They also have two 135 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: first round picks, number six overall and I mean the 136 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: Browns rather. Yeah, six, four, six and twenty four. I'm 137 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: thinking Jaguars because of the Travis Hunter trade. They have 138 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: the twenty fourth pick that is from the Jaguars, and 139 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: then they have the thirty ninth pick in the second round. 140 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: They do have a couple extra fifths as well, because 141 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 2: of the Joe Flacco trade. 142 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: They also need a wide receiver. 143 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 2: I think they need a tackle, certainly, a left tackle 144 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: is probably where they would look there. They need a quarterback, 145 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: but it doesn't feel like they're going there. On defense, 146 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 2: Probably their biggest need is like a nickel safety, which 147 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: could line up with what's in this draft. You think 148 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: they look at, you know, the picks that they have 149 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: and where the draft falls with six and twenty four especially. 150 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: Well with them, I would say tackle receiver. Those are 151 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: two of the first three picks for sure, and I 152 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: would say looking at where they are, getting the tackle 153 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: at thirty nine is going to be difficult. So the 154 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: tackle is going to be one of the first two picks. 155 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: I feel like that's the lock, like you can write 156 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: that in pen And then it comes down to receiver corner. 157 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: How do you combine those two? So, you know, like 158 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: we could go Tate at six, come back, you're gambling 159 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 3: a little bit, but hopefully there's still a tackle there 160 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: for you to take it. Twenty four. You know, whether 161 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: that's Blake Miller, Proctor, you know, Lomo whoever. You get 162 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: a tackle there, and then now you're looking at the 163 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: corners like a Chris Johnson from San Diego State, maybe 164 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: at thirty nine. The other the other way they could 165 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: go about that is say, okay, we're just going to 166 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: reach a little bit on the tackle and take the 167 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: tackle to lock him in, which freeling is probably the 168 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: most upside of a left tackle. Again, and there's like 169 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: twenty six teams and twenty seven teams. This feels the 170 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: Browns feel to me like a twenty seven team. So 171 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: let's let's take the guy that needs some room to 172 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: grow but has the higher ceiling. So if they took 173 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: Freeling there, then you come back at twenty four, you 174 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: might be able to you know, you could go corner 175 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 3: there and go hood and then now you get to 176 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: thirty nine and I think there's still a lot of 177 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: receivers that you could go Denhil Boston potentially being there 178 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: at that point in time. You know, Antonio Williams a 179 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 3: good little player, Like, there's a lot of options there. 180 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: I think about them, and you're staying there at twenty 181 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: seventeen and they might be like a twenty thirty one team. 182 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 2: That's why they proposed that rule to trade the draft. 183 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I know, but that came on the heels 184 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: of Miles Garrett. Thought we were going to have something 185 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: fun there because it was like they adjusted Miles Garrett's 186 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 3: contract which made it easier to trade. And then they're 187 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: proposing that you should be able to trade future picks, 188 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: which would make sense if you were hoping to get 189 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 3: some massive haul for Miles Garrett. And then you know, 190 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: Chefter came out and said it's not true, and then 191 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: Andrew Berry came out and said it's not true. So 192 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 3: all the fun got taken away from us there. 193 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: Do you think it's too early for downs? And I 194 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: also am not ruling out like a Ruben bayin at six. 195 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 2: I mean it just because it doesn't make sense to 196 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 2: be reaching for tackles if they're not worth it, especially 197 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: if the Cardinals take one ahead of them and they 198 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: and I know they have some good pass rushers. They 199 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: gave Alex Right a contract, they have some depth there, 200 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: although they aj epenessa contract didn't work out. But just 201 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: don't they going to want to take premium positions the 202 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: best players and you could maybe get ruben Bain or 203 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: Bailey there and just feel like, man, we'll just build 204 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: strength on strength on strength. I feel like that's more 205 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: likely than people are thrown out there. 206 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's the that would be the approach 207 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 3: that I would take there. It's just heard it from 208 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: so many different people that they are obsessed with tackle, 209 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: receiver and addressing those two things. And so if it's 210 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: to me, the best player available would be the receiver 211 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 3: if you're going between those two. But the tackles, again, 212 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: if you don't take one, they're gone. I don't even 213 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: love the fact because I thought, Okay, they could take 214 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: the receiver. Then at twenty four they can see how 215 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: it's played out and if they need to move up 216 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 3: a few spots to make sure that they get one 217 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 3: of the tackles. They could do it, but I don't 218 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: even love this tackle group enough that I'd want to 219 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: part with a lot of stuff there so tricky. 220 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: And it's early for Caleb Downs and to take another 221 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 2: defensive player, it would be against what all the reporting, 222 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: including what you're just saying is. But he does kind 223 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: of fill a need at Ohio State. Guy that it's 224 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: not that crazy. That is kind of a position that 225 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: they need. Another team that needs that position, which I 226 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: am looking for for Caleb Downs is Kansas City at nine. 227 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: They have two first round picks because they had one 228 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: from the Trent McDuffie trade. They also have a couple 229 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 2: extra late picks because of the McDuffie trade. 230 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: And because they were so bad last year. 231 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: You know, their second round pick is number forty, so 232 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: they have three in the first forty. I think they 233 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: have a big need at cornerback. I think they just 234 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: need weapons in general. You've projected a tackle to them, 235 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: which they could definitely use, I believe, because you know 236 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: they have Jalen More on the last year of his contract. 237 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: Josh Simmons is really promising, but had issues last year 238 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 2: where he wasn't staying on the field and so that's 239 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: kind of a concern. I feel like, of all the 240 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 2: teams and its typical figures, it's the Chiefs the one 241 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: year they're bad. I just feel like someone great's going 242 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: to fall to them at nine. I feel like they're 243 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 2: in a good spot where some big name player is 244 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 2: going to fall to them at nine, and they have 245 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: enough needs where they can get helped out by in 246 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: a number of spots. 247 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Bain would be one that would be a nice 248 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: fit for him there. I could see that happen, and 249 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 3: I've been advocating even though it's not a need for them, 250 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: especially after signing Kenneth Walker, just from a fun factor 251 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: of having Jeremiah Love there with that one to two punch, 252 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 3: and think about Mahomes coming off of an injury. We 253 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 3: want to take some pressure off him while we can 254 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: roll those two backs through and really kind of lighten 255 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 3: the load on Mahomes as he's getting back to full health. 256 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: So that one would be a lot of fun. But 257 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: I'm looking at Corner. I think they've done such a 258 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 3: good job of developing corners. Now McDuffie was a one, 259 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 3: but they've done a great job. Watson is another example. 260 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: You know, a lot of these guys outside of the 261 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: first round, they've developed and a good player, they've merrit 262 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: their secondary coach. So you know, would you say they 263 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 3: were a pick forty that's you know, that's kind of 264 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: been that. You know, Chris Johnson, I'll keep going back 265 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 3: to that name. I think that's right about where he goes. 266 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 3: That's a good value and they get the most out 267 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 3: of him. 268 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: And I mentioned Caleb Downs and I'm just thinking of 269 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 2: a place where he could be successful with Steve Spagnolo. 270 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 2: They really don't have someone at that position right now. 271 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: Their safeties are a Lowie Gillman and Jamari Connor, who 272 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: was a Jayden Hicks was the problem a little bit 273 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: for them. They signed Cater Kohu to be a nickelback 274 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: just he would be an interesting piece too if they 275 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: just decided that was the best player, best best value 276 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: on the board. 277 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, man, just smart, very very smart. 278 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: Let's go to the Dolphins, who have two first round picks. 279 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: They got the extra one and the Jalen Wattle trade. 280 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: Similar draft pick profile early at least of the Chiefs, 281 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 2: where they have eleven, thirty and forty three. Where they 282 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 2: get really interesting is they have four picks between seventy 283 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 2: five and ninety four. So I mean they have seven 284 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 2: picks in the top ninety four. This is it, John 285 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 2: Eric Sullivan. I know they're gonna have patients in Miami 286 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 2: and they have some extra picks in the future too, 287 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: But you have seven picks in the first ninety four. 288 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: You're a first time GM like I feel like their 289 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 2: regime is essentially going to be made with this draft. 290 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: If they can do well, it's going to be long 291 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: term security. You're going to have the basis of your 292 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 2: team for years to come. Where do you think they're 293 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: looking early, at least in the process. 294 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 3: Well, pens make one little side point on that. I 295 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: think it would be smart with all these picks, which 296 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 3: is a great number. Next year looks like a good 297 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 3: draft out in the horizon. But more so than that, 298 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: I've been, you know, I've been on teams where you 299 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: have new groups, you know, new coaching staff, new pieces there. 300 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 3: It's hard. It's hard when you have all these picks 301 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 3: in your one and you don't even really know who 302 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 3: or what you are as an organization or a team. 303 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 3: I would rather be if you could push some of 304 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 3: these into next year, or you'll have a better feel 305 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 3: for not only your players, your system, how the guys 306 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 3: you currently have fit in there, and what you need 307 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 3: to win in your division. Like all that stuff is 308 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 3: all new. It's just that's a lot. They get a 309 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: lot riding on a draft where they don't really know 310 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 3: as much about themselves at this point in time, which 311 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: can be very challenging. That's a little side point there. 312 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: And I think they will have a chance to do 313 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: so because so many, so many teams are in more 314 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: of a win now mode that the teams that want 315 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: to be patient, and let's say they end up dealing 316 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: a couple of those threes to move up or they 317 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 2: get two's for next year package things, the possibilities are there. 318 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: Then again, they do have to feel the team this year, 319 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 2: and they don't have any wide receivers. 320 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 3: They don't really know they're going to draft two. I 321 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 3: was looking at that going okay, could they take two 322 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 3: of their first three picks? Could be whiteouts? And I thought, now, 323 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 3: with the depth of the receivers I'm looking at like, 324 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 3: I wouldn't even be mad if they didn't take a 325 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 3: wide out with their first three picks, And then just 326 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: said two of our four third round picks. We'll pull 327 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 3: receivers there, get two guys come in and help us, 328 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 3: so they're going to the receiver thing. I would not 329 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: worry about the limited numbers there. They are going to 330 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 3: get that fixed here. 331 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: Well, especially if you think about what the Packers did 332 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: in the draft when John Eric Sullivan was there, which 333 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: was nail mid round picks and often take one or 334 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: never took one really in the first round. 335 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: And they did pretty well picking in the middle round. 336 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 2: So I think they could use a guard, they could 337 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: use a tight end, they could use edge, and they 338 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: got a lot of picks, but they need a lot. 339 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: So we'll see. 340 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: I could see them going defensive back though, maybe even 341 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 2: the first one off the board at number eleven. All right, 342 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: the Cowboys have a pick at twelve. They also have 343 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: the twentieth pick because of the Micah Parsons straight then 344 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: it's a while they have to wait till ninety two. 345 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: They have a big hole at linebacker. 346 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: Really throughout the defense, you could almost pick a position, 347 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 2: but cornerback and edge would be the next two. What 348 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: do you hear about the process there, like, are we 349 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: still in the old They don't even if you remember 350 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: you watch the reality show one year where they kind 351 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: of had the cameras inside the Cowboys room and it 352 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: was almost like Jerry still had a lot of say 353 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: at the final moment, like, I don't know what you 354 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: think about their process and what they're going to be 355 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: looking for and if things have changed there with Will MC. 356 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 3: I think Will's done a good job. I think you 357 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: look at their draft picks over the last several years 358 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: and they've you know, they've got some good young offensive 359 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: line and they've got some real good young pieces there. 360 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 3: So now now I'm looking more on the on the 361 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball, the secondary. If if they 362 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 3: could just address the secondary in this draft and then 363 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: throw an edge rusher in there at some point in 364 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 3: time in a deep edgereusher class, I think that'd be 365 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 3: a nice draft form. So with two first round picks, 366 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: I would say, what am I most confident about? One 367 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 3: of the two first round picks is going to be 368 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 3: a secondary player, you know, and I think they could 369 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 3: have a chance that Delaine could could be their choice 370 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 3: right there at twelve. At twenty, you're looking probably more 371 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 3: towards hood at that point in time, Tennessee corner. If 372 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: MC maybe drops a little bit because of missing the season. 373 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 3: Maybe he's there, but it just feels like one of 374 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 3: those three corners is going to be one of their 375 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: picks at one of those first two spots. 376 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: I can see that. 377 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 2: Look, they signed Kobe Durant from the Rams, but that's 378 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 2: not a premier starter. Schevon Rivel they drafted and they 379 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 2: hope he develops. He's coming off an injury. But those 380 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: are probably your outside corners. You have Deron Bland in 381 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: the nickel spot, and they are a team that drafts 382 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 2: for needs. But I think they're in a pretty good 383 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: spot for the most part, where it's a good roster 384 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 2: where there's you can almost add to any position. 385 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: But they're not screaming screaming needs. Maybe the one. 386 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 2: Exception, and this is where I would I would wonder 387 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: about pick twenty, like a CJ. 388 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: Allen at pick twenty. 389 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing, well, I was going to say, 390 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 3: like if you linebacker, if you could get a linebacker, Well, 391 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 3: what's the dream scenario. If you told me, what's the 392 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 3: dream scenario of like value with something they really could 393 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 3: use and need, it would be Sonny Styles somehow falling 394 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 3: to twelve, like that would be the home run pick 395 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 3: for me. 396 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to trade up for sunny Styles. 397 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: I would think so, but I'm just you know, weird 398 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 3: things happen. So if that were to if that were 399 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 3: to land in their lap to be a head of 400 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 3: a pick. 401 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mentioned just some of the teams also 402 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 2: that have a lot of draft capital, you know when 403 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 2: you add up kind of the draft value based on 404 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: the pick. The Steelers are sneaky in there because they 405 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: have three thirds round yeah, two fourths and. 406 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: A bunch of sevens. 407 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: They could use a left tackle, They could certainly use 408 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: some help at linebacker, guard, wide receiver. Right, I'm just curious, 409 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 2: what have you heard about the Steelers during the process. 410 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: We will we will end with them. 411 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: Well, I think you probably get some tackle insurance there 412 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 3: for Braderick Jones at some point in time. To me, 413 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 3: looking at the corner position makes a lot of sense. 414 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 3: You know, they could add another receiver even after bringing 415 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 3: over Pittman. Somebody to compliment what they have there with 416 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: DK and Pittman would make some sense. So, and you 417 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 3: need a guard, you need an interior offensive lineman. So 418 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 3: they're gonna they're They're in a pretty good spot where 419 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 3: you know, when you're talking about interior offensive linemen's. You know, 420 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 3: corners like those are all third round. You can get 421 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 3: those guys in the third round. They they got a 422 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 3: couple of pops at it. 423 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: So we're wrapping up here. DJ's got a lot of 424 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: places to be. He's probably got a hit on Pat McAfee, 425 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 2: or he's gonna be talking to his buddy or Lafsky 426 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 2: on ESPN or something, or. 427 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: Do move the stick. Meanwhile, I'm gonna go. 428 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: To chapter nine of Born to Referee by Jerry Mark Bright. Yes, 429 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 2: finish that, which is entitled Knowing Your Tail from Your Head. 430 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's eleven pages just on the 431 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: coin flip, but I'm looking forward to get into that. 432 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 3: Fantastic good job.
