And what 177 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: we've done here is position ourselves not to be desperate 178 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: or predictable going into the twenty twenty five draft. The 179 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: Chiefs and Brettveach have done a masterful job every year 180 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: of that where the cards stay close to the best. 181 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. 182 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: And a quick side note you and I had talked 183 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 4: before off camera about how has had to a short 184 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 4: episode because I had to go get my windows looked at. 185 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 4: The guy just texted me and said that later in 186 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: the day works, so we don't have to truncate this 187 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 4: episode anymore. For those listening, you're like, just get on 188 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 4: with it anyway. I'm with you at ten. We can't 189 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: do that. 190 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: That'd be an ethics violation. 191 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it would be if. 192 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: This guy tend windows are expensive. 193 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: So I've learned that during this process because we have 194 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 4: an older house and a lot of the windows are original, 195 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 4: like from like nineteen forty nine. And it's not so 196 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: much the window. The window actually is holding up well, 197 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 4: it's the framing of it that just looks bad. I 198 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 4: want to replace them, and I've learned over the last 199 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 4: couple of weeks that windows are very expensive. Getting a 200 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 4: third quote here today, but this guy is down to 201 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: meet me later today, so I don't have to worry 202 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 4: about getting through the super quick. I am with you 203 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 4: about everything you said, because it is impossible to predict 204 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 4: who will be available at thirty one. 205 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: Overall and throughout the draft. 206 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: This is what we talk about all the time with 207 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 4: the parody of the NFL. It's designed so teams like 208 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 4: the Chiefs cannot sustain success. Well, they found a way 209 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 4: to do that over the years, to find a way 210 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 4: to keep doing it. And one way to do that 211 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 4: is to not bank on a certain position or player 212 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: falling to you at thirty one. Overall, that is a 213 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 4: losing strategy. And what the Chiefs have done here is 214 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: they have addressed a lot of needs and a lot 215 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 4: of holes on this roster so they can approach the 216 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 4: draft saying we're going to take the best players available. 217 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 4: You don't have to take an offensive tackle because you 218 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 4: believe that Jalen Moore can come in here and compete 219 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 4: for a starting role on this team. You don't have 220 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 4: to take a defensive back because you go out and 221 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: get Christian Fulton and you think he can help fill 222 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 4: a role on this team as an outside corner who 223 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 4: can really help steuce Bagnolo in this defense. You don't 224 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 4: have to take a defensive tackle because you go out 225 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: and get Jerry Tillery, former first round pick, who you 226 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 4: believe in and who is still young and can contribute. 227 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 4: So what I'm trying to say is when the board falls, 228 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 4: we're going to watch and see what position, what player 229 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: is there. And when you approach an off season like 230 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: the Chiefs have, we're not going to look at it 231 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 4: and say, ah, all the blank position are gone, what 232 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 4: are we to do. 233 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: It's the opposite. 234 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 4: It's hey, these guys went early, this guy's still on 235 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 4: the board, and this guy can help us somehow. Someway 236 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 4: and I love how we've approached this offseason because, as 237 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 4: we'll get into again, banking on a certain position or 238 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 4: player at thirty one overall is not a good strategy. 239 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 2: Nope. 240 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: And we'll get into how you you basically have insurance 241 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: against that, and we'll give you practical examples of how 242 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have done exactly that. But attacking this draft, 243 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: this is what Bredbeach does. 244 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 2: He attacks him. 245 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: We've seen him regularly move up, he's moved down and 246 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: like in twenty one, basically, and think what happened in 247 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: the twenty one draft to get Nick Bolton and Creed Humphrey, 248 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: then later in the sixth round to get Trey Smith. 249 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: But attacking this draft the thirty first, if everything stays 250 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: the same, thirty first, sixty third, sixty six, ninety five, 251 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: let's take those four picks. You're getting four picks as 252 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: a team that has been to five Super Bowls in 253 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: the last six years, you're getting for the top one 254 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: hundred picks That to me positions the Chiefs to be 255 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: able to attack and be aggressive in the draft. 256 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: Is the sixty six the LJ sneaed trade. 257 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 4: Yes, that pick working out the way that it did, 258 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 4: and I mean that's just incredible GMing by Brett Veach 259 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: in this entire front office. But yeah, I mean, what 260 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 4: an opportunity. This is something that we talked about ahead 261 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 4: of the twenty twenty two draft that how often do 262 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 4: you have it where you have a team that is 263 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 4: in this championship window and as long as Patrick Mahomes 264 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 4: is here, we're in a championship window. But you have 265 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 4: so much young talent on this team and talent that's 266 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: been to Super Bowls and won Super Bowls and you 267 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 4: have a chance to add to it. 268 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: Here. 269 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 4: A lot of times teams that are in the position 270 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: that the Chiefs are in over the decades, those teams 271 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 4: are up against it. They're running out of time, they're older, 272 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: or it's a team it's kind of on the down trend. Well, 273 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 4: the Chiefs are not that because the Chiefs are still 274 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: one of the youngest teams in the NFL, they have 275 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 4: the best quarterback in the league, they have the best 276 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: coach in the NFL, and they have an opportunity to 277 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 4: get even better with this draft. And that's why the Chiefs, 278 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 4: in addition to of course having Mahomes and Kelsey and 279 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 4: Chris Jones and coach Read the way that Brett each 280 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: has been able to constantly refill this roster with talent 281 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 4: through the draft, despite picking at the bottom of each round. 282 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 4: It's just incredible. So I can't wait to see what 283 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 4: we have in store here. I'm more excited for this 284 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 4: draft than I have been in previous years, and I'm 285 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 4: normally really excited for the draft, and this year for 286 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 4: some reason, just because of the opportunity ahead of us, 287 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 4: and also the way the team has been positioned to 288 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 4: really just take the best players available and just make 289 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 4: this roster better, not worrying too much about reaching for 290 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 4: certain positions. I'm just really fired up about it. 291 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why we're calling it prepared in position. 292 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: That's what Bret Veach and his staff have done. And 293 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: even the three picks in the seventh round sounds strangely familiar. 294 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: If it is, it's the twenty twenty two draft. There 295 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: were three picks in the seventh round. Oh, let's see 296 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: Isaiah Piicicko, Jalen Watson and Nazy Johnson. 297 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: And all three have. 298 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: Been to Super Bowls in their first three years and 299 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: one two of them. You do an awesome job. And 300 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: if follow Matt and his articles, he does on certain 301 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: rounds because other seventh round picks. 302 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 2: This is your twenty twenty four article, Kevin Ross, Dave Zott. 303 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: We mentioned the three and twenty two Nick aligready, so 304 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: you don't sleep on the seventh round at all. And 305 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: the fact that you have three picks in the seventh 306 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: who could come out of that group. Brett Veach and 307 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: his staff have shown they've done a remarkable job. Now 308 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: let's go back to your point and revisit it about 309 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: being prepared and in position, because where the chiefs have 310 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: been able to by putting yourselves in a position, not 311 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: being exposed in any certain area or teams know you're desperate, 312 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: that's when you make a reach pick many times, or 313 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: you become vulnerable to a trade where you can be exposed. Yeah, okay, 314 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: for sure, or here's the biggest one, what Brett Veach 315 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: has done and what the Chiefs have done. There is 316 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: always a rush on a position, always a rush, and 317 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: that rush happens before we pick at thirty one or 318 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: thirty two, or thirty one or thirty two, where we've 319 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: been the last several years. Let's take twenty two a well, 320 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,239 Speaker 1: let's take twenty one. The first three picks were quarterbacks 321 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So what did that do? It put 322 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: Brettveach in a position where he traded down and he 323 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: gets and let's be honest, we've said this before. Once 324 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: you get past pick twenty, it does seem to be 325 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: kind of muddled with an extension of the second round 326 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: and even the third. So there's a there's like sixty 327 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: what would that be, sixty to ten more picks, like 328 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: seventy picks that all seem to be in the same 329 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: popcorn popper. Because what Brett Beach did in twenty one 330 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: was able to trade down and get Knit Bolton, Creed 331 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: Humphrey and then later Trey Smith in the sixth. 332 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. 333 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 4: What's always funny about the draft is there are generally 334 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 4: unless someone forfeits their pick thirty two picks in the 335 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 4: first round right well over the course of the draft 336 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 4: process and all the analysis and the mock drafts and 337 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 4: everything that happen in weeks and months before the draft. 338 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 4: Depending on where you look, like sixty players are supposed 339 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 4: to go in the first round, right, and that makes 340 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 4: it impossible to know who exactly is actually going to 341 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 4: be there, who would be a reach, who would be 342 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 4: a player that would be a great value, And that's 343 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 4: where you rely on your scouting staff. Every front office 344 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 4: is different, and even though you kind of assume every 345 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 4: team has like a great, rock solid scouting staff, I 346 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 4: truly believe that not always the case. And we're very 347 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 4: fortunate to have a great one here in Kansas City. 348 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 4: And the results speak for themselves. Finding those guys in 349 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 4: the seventh round like Pachecko and Jayleen Watson and Nazi Johnson, 350 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 4: guys that are being picked in the two hundreds and 351 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 4: contribute and help you win Super Bowls. I mean, that's 352 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 4: really hard to do. And our scouting staff is second 353 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 4: to none. But I look at like twenty twenty three, 354 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 4: I think it was where there was a lot of 355 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 4: buzz that the Chiefs might want to take a receiver, 356 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 4: right so you might be watching the draft saying, okay, 357 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 4: let's see where the top receivers are, and not a 358 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 4: single receiver was taken in that draft, I believe, through 359 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 4: the first nineteen picks and where we were picked, it's like, okay, great, 360 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 4: like we can probably get a receiver here. At least 361 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 4: one of the top four guys is going to be there. 362 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 4: Right Well, no, because then immediately at pick number twenty, 363 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 4: Jackson Smith and Jigba goes, Then Quentin Johnston goes at 364 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 4: twenty one, Zave Flowers at twenty two, and Jordan Addison 365 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 4: at twenty three. So again, if you're watching the draft 366 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 4: and saying, I want this position in the first round 367 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 4: no matter what, and you're picking at thirty one, you 368 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 4: might be disappointed because something like that might happen. So again, 369 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 4: the Chiefs are in a great spot here where I 370 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 4: can't tell you there's one position they have to take. 371 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 4: If you really look at this roster and dig into it, 372 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 4: look at the talent, look at the depth that we have. 373 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 3: They don't have to do that. 374 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 4: They can really let the board fall to them, which 375 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 4: is what the best teams do, and the Chiefs through 376 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 4: the years have done a great job at that. 377 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: I've given the analogy of playing bridge and bidding no trump, 378 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: meaning you're not relying on diamond spades, clubs or hearts. 379 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: You can play them all. And that's where yeah, Brett 380 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 2: Veach is and. 381 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: With the staff in the straft twenty two, the run 382 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: on wide receivers very similar. 383 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 2: That was the big wide receiver class. Boom boo, boom, 384 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: here we go. 385 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: But what it did was push Trent McDuffie in a 386 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: position where he could make the trade to get to 387 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: twenty one. Brett Beach could and in the first round 388 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: you get McDuffie and Karl Offtis. It's crazy that was 389 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: produced because of the run in twenty four. It happened 390 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: again last year. Six quarterbacks were taken in the first 391 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: twelve picks. Well, that shoves down Xavier Worthy, who in 392 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: maybe some other draft would have been taken long before 393 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs would pick. 394 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: What do they do? 395 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: They move with Buffalo up to twenty eight and get 396 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy reacting to the run. But being able to 397 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: react to the run in a myriad of ways is 398 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: where the Chiefs have been able to really make their 399 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: hay in the draft. 400 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, it gets back to what I was saying about 401 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 4: how there are like fifty or sixty players that everyone 402 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 4: thinks will go in the first round. Kind of the 403 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 4: same for the top fifteen. There's like thirty players that 404 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 4: everyone thinks are going to go in the top fifteen, 405 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: which obviously doesn't make any sense. And that's why on 406 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 4: Draft Night in twenty twenty two, we do our live 407 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 4: show and we don't know who we're taken until we 408 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 4: find out with you all. And when we found out 409 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 4: that we were getting Trent McDuffie, I remember thinking to 410 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 4: myself throughout the entire draft process, I didn't even think 411 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 4: that was a possibility because he was going to be 412 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 4: a top fifteen pick, And for him to fall to 413 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 4: twenty one and Brett trades up and gets him just 414 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 4: an amazing selection. And getting George Carloftis at was it 415 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 4: thirty overall? 416 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? 417 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that was another guy that I think 418 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: if you look around in the pre draft stuff in 419 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 4: twenty twenty two, most people thought George Carloftis was going 420 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 4: at least in the top twenty five, probably top twenty. 421 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 4: You get him at thirty overall, just a matter of 422 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 4: taking advantage of those opportunities and in that draft. Looking 423 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 4: back at it, I don't think corner was necessarily a 424 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 4: huge Like, hey, the Chiefs have to take a corner 425 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 4: in the first round, but when Trent McDuffie's there, it's like, 426 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 4: we have to go get that guy. And now I 427 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 4: can't really imagine this defense without Trip McDuffie. I assure 428 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 4: you we don't win two Super Bowls in three years 429 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 4: without Trip McDuffie. We've talked about his play against Brock 430 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 4: Purty and that Nickel blitz where he batted down the 431 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 4: pass and gave my Homes an opportunity to tie and 432 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 4: later win the game. We don't do any of that 433 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 4: without Trent McDuffie. And that was foresight by Brett Veach 434 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 4: to say, we don't necessarily need a corner right now, 435 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 4: but we can go get a future all pro corner 436 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 4: if we want to. And they did that, and I 437 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 4: look forward to hopefully doing that again here in a 438 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 4: couple weeks. 439 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: And again, if you heads your bet that way, you 440 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: can move up or down, and we've seen Brettveach do that. 441 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: So again, the Chiefs are unpredictable in the draft, but 442 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: it's a really big deal to be able to react 443 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: to the run, because there are some teams that after 444 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: the run happens and you've got precious minutes to make 445 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: the decision, they don't handle it well or they're exposed 446 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: at a certain spot, and sometimes the run can be surprising. 447 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: We've seen it that it becomes shocking. But you're like, Okay, 448 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: the run came at this position. Here's how we'll adjust 449 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: and either trade down, trade up to get McDuffie, or 450 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: pick this certain spot. And honestly, the Chiefs have done 451 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: this year after year after year, especially since COVID. When 452 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: you see how this roster has been put together, the 453 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: picking at thirty one and sixty three and sixty six 454 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: because I'm going to throw those three together, leave ninety 455 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: five out of it. But again we said this popcorn 456 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: popper that once you get past twenty in most drafts, well, 457 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: there's not much difference, right, especially this year. I think, hey, 458 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: this year for sure. Now, the one thing of a 459 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: first round pick is the fifth year option. We mentioned 460 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: that you get the fifth year option. Xavier Worthy, the 461 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs will have a fifth year option with him where 462 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: he wouldn't ter necessarily enter free agency if they exercise 463 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: that ouction to keep him for an additional year. So 464 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: that's an advantage for a team in the first round. 465 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: Other than that, you can do some real damage here. 466 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: But what you want to do, in my opinion, and 467 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: this has been proven in thirty one, sixty three or 468 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: sixty six, you want a Day one starter. Yeah, who 469 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: had that Day one starter then eventually becomes a Pro Bowler. 470 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 2: That's your a grade here. 471 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: And if you're drafting top ten, you want to Pro 472 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: Football Hall of Famer eventually. But if you're sitting at 473 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: thirty one, sixty three or sixty six focusing on getting 474 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: a starter and one who would eventually become a Pro 475 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: Bowl or All Pro player, and I think maybe you 476 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: and our an agreement here. We're defensive line, especially the 477 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: interior defensive line. There seems to be more names there. 478 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you the surgeon General's warning here. 479 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: We did not talk to bred Beach. In fact, we're 480 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: in peril here. 481 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 3: These are our opinions. These are our opinions, right, Mitch 482 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: and Matt. 483 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: This is not the Chiefs and the worst thing anyway, 484 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: this is a surgeon. 485 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: Don't say this is what Veach is thinking, because no, it's. 486 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 4: Just us and that happens sometimes because I do like 487 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 4: videos on different position groups and I'll just talk about 488 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 4: certain players that I like, and sometimes people will comment 489 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 4: things like, ooh, this is a smoke screen. It's like, no, 490 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 4: this is just Matt. This is just Matt talking. This 491 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 4: is nobody else talking. So yeah, everything that we're gonna 492 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 4: say here is just us. Okay, So just us. 493 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: And looking at Day one starters in the defensive line, 494 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: which to me would be a home run out of 495 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: the park. Bobby Wood Junior gaining two bags on a 496 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: one base air would be finding a inside defensive replacement 497 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: or not a replacement, A great compliment, especially to Chris Jones. 498 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: Now what bred Beach has done again. That defensive line rotation, 499 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: which to me, and I've talked to Spags about this 500 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: a lot, was a big reason the Chiefs got to 501 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, went fifteen to two. The Chiefs were rare. 502 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: They had an eight player rotation on the defensive front. 503 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: We talked about guys going inside and outside, but to 504 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: be able to move guys in and out and not 505 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: really miss a beat. 506 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: So you've got to replace Turk Wharton. 507 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: You lose Derek Noddy, but you get Mike panel back 508 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: you talked about Tillery coming in. But if you can 509 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: get someone in the thirty one, sixty three or sixty 510 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: six that becomes a Day one starter who can be 511 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: right there with Chris Jones and the rest and regain 512 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: that eight man rotation. Now you're really poised to take 513 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: a run at the whole enchilade again in twenty twenty five. 514 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: A couple guys come to mind here. I'll let you 515 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: start and see what you say. Interior defensive line. If 516 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: it was you to pick, I'll let you have two 517 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: and I'll pick two. 518 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 4: I think it's funny too, because Chris Jones was picked 519 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 4: in that range that you're talking about. He was the 520 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 4: first pick of the second round, right he was, Yeah, 521 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 4: sure was way back in twenty sixteen. 522 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: Yep. 523 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, So you can find all the good players there. 524 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: And I think, just like you said, the depth and 525 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 4: the strength of this draft, particularly in the context of 526 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 4: the Chiefs, is a defensive line and maybe particularly defensive tackle. 527 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 4: A lot of good edge players too that I like 528 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 4: a lot, but defensive tackle is really intriguing, and we're 529 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 4: gonna have an opportunity, I think, to add to our 530 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 4: defensive line in this draft. But quick caveat talking about 531 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 4: like the runs and stuff. It's possible a run could 532 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,479 Speaker 4: happen like a twenty one overall where all the players 533 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 4: that we talk about go Infortunately, again we keep like 534 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 4: hitting home this point. But the Chiefs are in a 535 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 4: position where if that happened, I'd be like, Okay, Like, 536 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 4: there's plenty of other spots to go so anyway. 537 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: And honestly, I predict that's what the run will be. 538 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 3: Could be. 539 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the run will be after pick seven 540 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: teen or eighteen on the defensive line and they just 541 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: start flying off the board. 542 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 3: So I'm picking one guy or two guys? You get 543 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 3: two too, Okay. 544 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 4: Well, Derek Harmon's one guy that I like a lot 545 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 4: that I've watched quite a bit from Oregon. Just one 546 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 4: year at Oregon, he was a Michigan State transfer but 547 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 4: had just an incredible season for them. I think he 548 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 4: had like fifty five pressures. I think that led all 549 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 4: interior defensive lineman and the FBS last year. This is 550 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 4: a really disruptive player who's also really good against the run. 551 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 4: So Derek Harmon's guy to know and then a guy 552 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 4: that I know you like a lot as well as 553 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 4: Walter Nolan from Ole, miss just a game wrecker at 554 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 4: interior defensive tackle in All American last year. A great 555 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 4: pass rusher, great against the run, just a really really 556 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 4: good player. So I'm not breaking any news here with 557 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 4: those guys. Those are two of the top defensive tackles 558 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 4: in this draft. But Derek Harmon and Walter Nolan are 559 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 4: certainly two names to know. 560 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: I'd be thrilled if the Chiefs get either one of 561 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: those guys, because I think they can be Day one starter. 562 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: Just as we explained. 563 00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 3: Next to Chris Jones, one of those guys. 564 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: Come on, let's go with the edge guys we already have, yeah, right, 565 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: because Charles Amna who's resigned, and you have an emerging 566 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: or improving FAU out there, still have Carlo Loftus and 567 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: Mike Danna. They're all here, folks. That's what I'm telling 568 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: you my two I would pick. And again, when you 569 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: look at these defensive linemen, if you're a draft nerd, 570 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: you really have to look at scheme as well, because 571 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: in this group of players that fit this inside defensive 572 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: tech three tech, zero tech, one tech kind of five 573 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: tech is what is spags a scheme? And how do 574 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: they being versatile and being a two gap guy. Right, 575 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: So think of a I don't want to say, a 576 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: better version of Turk Wharton because he was really good. 577 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: But so I'm going scheme specific to what spags would go. 578 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: He'd knuckle on the table. So Tyler Williams of Ohio 579 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: State's a two gap guy that has shown some explosiveness 580 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: as well. All right, and I'm only going to pick two, 581 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna throw and third Darius Alexander. But the 582 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: guy I like, and you know I like him because 583 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: he was one of those I sent to you of 584 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: going I can't stop watching this guy. I went back 585 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: and watched him because I saw a young Chris Jones 586 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: and it's Alfred Collins of Texas. Here's where I'm at 587 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: on every position in this draft is wingspan. Maybe I'm 588 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: affected by Super Bowl fifty nine. 589 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, because Josh Schwat's wingspan dominated. 590 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: Okay, wingspan, it's the most underrated metric in all of sports, 591 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: all of it. And when I see Collins, I see 592 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: a guy that's willing to play two gap. Seven passes deflected, 593 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: seven blocked kicks, plays, two gap, can still rush the passer. 594 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: I think of him fingertip to fingertip with Charles and 595 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: Menehu and Chris Jones all with over seven foot wingspins. 596 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: So now I cover twenty three feet. 597 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 2: Of the field on the width. 598 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: That's crazy, which I gotta be careful you don't fall 599 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: in love with any one guy because of the run 600 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: that can happen in any one of these guys that 601 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: we mentioned. I'll be knuckling on the table for them. 602 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: But that's an example. 603 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 4: And one thing that kind of is the common denominator 604 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 4: I think with all these players is their motor. 605 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 3: I love with Collins. 606 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 4: He's like three hundred and thirty pounds, but there is 607 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 4: tape of him on screens turning around and chasing down 608 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 4: the running back at three hundred and thirty pounds, Like 609 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 4: you don't always see that, particularly for guys that know 610 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 4: they're going to be drafted pretty early. They might be like, ah, 611 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,479 Speaker 4: you know that's by me, that's not my area. I'm 612 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 4: not rushing the passer anymore. It doesn't matter. Collins was 613 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 4: like a gamer, like he wanted to win, and those 614 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 4: are the players that I want here. And I really 615 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 4: noticed that with Kyleik Williams as well and Darius Alexander 616 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 4: a great run defender. A lot of times with these 617 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 4: pass rushers, even at interior defensive tackle, they don't always 618 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 4: want to play the run. They just want to rush 619 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 4: the passer. Darius Alexander loves rushing the passer and rushing 620 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 4: and tackling the running back and play the run. So 621 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 4: those are important things that I think we've seen throughout 622 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 4: this process. And those are just a few names to know. 623 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 4: There's going to be a lot of guys at defensive 624 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 4: tackle who are intriguing. And again, I think it's where 625 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 4: the depth of this class is. 626 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: Where does Toledo get these guys Quinyan Mitchell, no idea 627 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: if I'll go to Toledo and find guys like that 628 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: every year, because you know how much I love Quinyan Mitchell. 629 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 2: I had to watch them in the Super Bowl. 630 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 3: But any kareem hunt, you know, and where do they 631 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 3: find these guys? 632 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 2: I don't know, found out to Toledo Rockets. Uh huh uh. 633 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: We'll close out this way. But let's just look at 634 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: the let's do let's do a couple of offensive line. Yeah, 635 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: I'll let you pick a couple and maybe I'll throw 636 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: one in there. 637 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 3: Well, Josh Simmons is interesting. Now. 638 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 4: The thing with Simmons is he has thirty three inch arms, 639 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 4: So speaking of the wingspan thing, a lot of times 640 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 4: you like to see your tackles have like thirty five 641 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 4: or thirty four inch arms, But Simmons is at thirty three, 642 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 4: so I think that's good enough. And everything else in 643 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 4: his game is really good in my opinion. And he 644 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 4: suffered a knee injury in October, and really anywhere you 645 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 4: look any draft expert, they would agree that if he 646 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 4: had not suffered that knee injury, he probably would have 647 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 4: been like a top fifteen pick. Most likely, the knee 648 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 4: injury is probably going to knock him down a little bit. 649 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 4: And that's one of those situations for the Chiefs where 650 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 4: if you could get a value selection like that of 651 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 4: Josh Simmons, who I think allowed one quarterback Hurry, not 652 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 4: even a sack all year before he got injured in October, 653 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 4: and was great last year as well in twenty twenty three, 654 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 4: if you can get a player of that caliber who's 655 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 4: a top fifteen player at thirty one overall because he 656 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 4: had an injury, as long as you feel good about 657 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 4: the medicals, that could be a pretty good situation to 658 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 4: be in, so Simmons is interesting. Then also Josh Connery 659 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 4: junior out of Oregon is interesting as well. There's a 660 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 4: lot of experience playing left tackle, high end left tackle 661 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 4: against very good teams. And I like how he kind 662 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 4: of his mental resolve because I talked to Eric ed Hoolm, 663 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 4: who does great draft stuff for NFL dot Com, and 664 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 4: he talked about how Connory got knocked on his back 665 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 4: basically by Mike Green during the Senior Bowl. Mike Green's 666 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 4: one of the top pass rush prospects in the draft 667 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 4: this year, and for a lot of players, they'd be 668 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 4: really down on themselves. They'd just be like, oh man, 669 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 4: this is my chance and I'm ruining it. Connorly didn't 670 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 4: do that. He got right back up and had a 671 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 4: great Senior Bowl after that. So I'm looking for those 672 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 4: kind of things when you're picking up thirty one. Overall, 673 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 4: these guys are all talented. It's a matter of what 674 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 4: do you have going on upstairs? What's your mental resolve, Like, 675 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 4: how do you handle failure and turn that into success? 676 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 4: And he showed me that during the Senior Bowl. 677 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: What I liked about his video was the fact that 678 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: I watched him with Bo Nix, a right handed quarterback, 679 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: and then to get Dylan Gabriel, a left handed quarterback. 680 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: But to watch his versatility connor Ly and his ability 681 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: to move as well. We talked about the defensive guys, 682 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: Collins being able to move on a screen, his movement 683 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: whether he's zone blocking or man blocking or screen and 684 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: to get to the second level. It kind of jumps 685 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: out there. But the fact that he played with a 686 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: right handed quarterback and a left handed quarterback and basically 687 00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: had to learn two languages, to me was impressive. Ursay Arionta, 688 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: who is a Minnesota Gopher, but he's a Kansas City. 689 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 3: Kid, Ruskin High School Ruskin. 690 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 2: Baby, let's go. I love it. 691 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: And now he's more of a road grader type. Yeah, 692 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: he's a run run blocker and maybe more of a 693 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: right tackle than a left tackle. But there's something he's 694 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: going to help somebody in the National Football League for 695 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: a while. I love it. But you know, here, here's 696 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: my Alfred Collins of offense. Yeah, and you know where 697 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm going, And it's Charles Grant of William and Murray. Yeah, 698 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, and you're going, well, wait a minute. 699 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: He played at William and Murray. It's FCS that's not 700 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: even the best FCS league, and you're not going to 701 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: get in because I don't know. Sean McDermott went to 702 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: waym and Murray and you know, uh so and Mike 703 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: Tomlin went to William and Murray. 704 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: I love his video. 705 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, well in the wingspan right wing span. 706 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: And everything's wingspan with me right now. Don't even talk 707 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: about anybody unless we got thirty four thirty Finich wake 708 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: span because I'm ace Venturia. Olsa is out all over 709 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: my walls because of Super Bowl fifty nine. Yeah, but 710 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: that's where I'm at. But again, Charles Grant's going to 711 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: be a really good player in the NFL. He moves 712 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: and he's Tray Smith playing left tackle. 713 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 4: And the beauty of that is what the Chiefs have 714 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 4: done in free agency once again, to circle back on 715 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 4: this point is by going out and getting Jayalen Moore, 716 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 4: a guy that you think can compete for your starting 717 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 4: job at left tackle. If the Chiefs take a tackle 718 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 4: in this draft, they're not being asked, I guess unless 719 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 4: they earn it. They're not being asked to go in 720 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 4: there in Week one and start at left tackle. That's 721 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 4: a big ask, right, It's difficult to do that. And 722 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 4: if you take a guy like Charles Grant, maybe on 723 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 4: day two or early on day three, wherever he goes, 724 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 4: he can have the opportunity to grow and to learn 725 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 4: and to compete, but he doesn't necessarily have to be 726 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 4: your day one starter. That's a luxury that a lot 727 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 4: of teams don't have. And frankly, the Chiefs haven't always 728 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 4: had that luxury, So I'm with you on that. 729 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: And man, even like Rashaun Slater, who I watched him 730 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: play at Northwestern, he's good for the Chargers. He has 731 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,479 Speaker 1: even had his struggles because the edge rushers are so 732 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: good in this. 733 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 3: League, so good it's so hard. I can see so 734 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 3: many of them. 735 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: The best athlete and put him at left tackle, and 736 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: it's just so hard for a rookie. Now it makes 737 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: you kind of appreciate more what Eric Fisher did, yeah, 738 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: way back in twenty thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, and on 739 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: is the fact that we threw him right into it. 740 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: But it was a struggle for him too. He's playing 741 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: right tackle and didn't have to. I'm just telling you, 742 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: you can take the best left tackle in any class, 743 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: and it's going to be a problem for them in 744 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: their first year, maybe even their second year. 745 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 4: The edge rushers are a great example of how humans 746 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 4: have like evolved over time because these guys are all 747 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 4: like six'. FIVE a lot of them are lighter, now 748 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 4: but they're between like two forty and two sixty and 749 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 4: they can run like a four to four and they 750 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 4: have like long. 751 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,479 Speaker 3: Arms like what are you supposed to? 752 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 4: Do it's really, hard and that's why not only do 753 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 4: you have to have great physical, traits but also you 754 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 4: have to have mental resolve playing in that position because 755 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 4: they're going to get beat and it's frustrating and it's, 756 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 4: difficult but you have to go right back out there 757 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 4: the very next snap and do your. Job and that's 758 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 4: hopefully what we're going to find here in this draft 759 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 4: is some players not just offensive tackle all over the, 760 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 4: board but who are great. Athletes they're very, talented but 761 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 4: also they buy into the culture here of you come in, 762 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 4: here you learn the, system and you forget the last 763 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 4: play and you move. Forward and we have so many 764 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 4: guys like, that and that's why this. Team one of 765 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 4: the many reasons it's been so good over the. 766 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: Years it's why when in fans will say he would 767 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: just go get a left. Tackle oh, Okay i'm just 768 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: it's it's become more of a. Challenge and even the 769 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: last five, YEARS i think we've seen, rookies the best, 770 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: rookies they end up being good, players but they struggle. 771 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: Early we'll close with maybe a running back. Here we've 772 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: got to find a third down. Back let's just be. 773 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: Honest is you know who's that going to?
