17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: as we get through the first week of April here

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: and uh Well, tomorrow will mark three weeks out from

19
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: the draft. Thursday mark three weeks out from the draft. Uh.

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: The Steelers have started to host their their pre draft

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: visits this week UM tomorrow, they're scheduled to host Desmond Ritter.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: On Friday, they're scheduled to host Sam how as well

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,919
Speaker 1: as Nolan Turner from Clemson, the safety at a Clemson UM.

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: Everybody is assuming I think that because the Steelers have

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: shown so much interest in the quarterback class this year,

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: that they're automatically going to take a quarterback no matter

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: what at twenty. And I don't know that that's the case.

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're they're automatically just going to

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: take you know, if the top two or three quarterbacks

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: are on the off the board, they're just gonna take

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: the next guy. Or even at the top two or

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: off the board, they're just gonna take the next guy

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: on the list. I just don't know that that's the

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: that's the situation that they're in right now. Yeah, and

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: even to take it a step further, I don't know

36
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: if they plan on take them one at all, you know,

37
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking about the top guys, you know.

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think that there is a scenario. I

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: don't think that it's a done deal, you know. I

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: don't know that we they take the approach of we

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: have to take one we're going to no matter what.

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: That's been the plan. We're not going to change no

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: matter how the draft falls. Um. I really a mixed feelings.

44
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean because this time last year, we really thought

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: if nig Harris is there, they're gonna take them, you know,

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: like it wasn't a whole lot of smoke screen. It

47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: was one of the worst kept secrets out there. They

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: didn't have a starting running back on their roster at

49
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: that time. James Conner had signed with the Cardinals, so

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: it was Benny Snell and Anthony McFarland's and Caleb Blage

51
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: and they didn't have a starting running back on their roster.

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: They have a starting quarterback on their roster, so there's

53
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: not this glaring need, this obvious well they have to

54
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: take one here, and that's what they wanted to avoid.

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: That's why they signed Mr. Robinsky. They didn't want to

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: be stuck in that kind of situation where, well, boy,

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: we got to take a quarterback here, and it's a

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: top two or three guys are gone. We have to

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: take the next best guy up just because, right and

60
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: if you look at some of the teams around the league,

61
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: how they handled their quote quarterback needs some of them

62
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: had to settle for planned B your plans ce where

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: because of the timing of free agency and how abruptly

64
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: they got Trabinsky under contract. I think that was plan

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: A from the start, which and how often do we

66
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: talk about this with Kevin Colbert is such a Colbert

67
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: thing to do that. Okay, if there's one we like

68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: and it's worth that he's our best guy on the board.

69
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: And obviously quarterbacks have more weight than left guards, I

70
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: get that, then we're gonna take them. But I don't

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: believe they have to. Or boy, if I'm doing a

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: mock draft at twenty, I'm putting a quarterback there every time.

73
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that It wouldn't shock me one bit

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: if they took Louis Seen and a receiver with their

75
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: first two picks and talk about it next year. Or

76
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Knowsky go well, one of the guys that they're bringing

77
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: in for a visit, actually he was already in yesterday,

78
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: or at least was scheduled to is is Chris a

79
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: lot of coin at a south South Dakota state. He's

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: a late round guy, yeah, right right? And the safety

81
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: mentioned from Clemson too, He's not a household name right, Yeah,

82
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're they're bringing in this you know,

83
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: so maybe those are medicals. Maybe those are guys that

84
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: they have a high priority free agent type grade on

85
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: that that hey, we're gonna we want to get this guy.

86
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: We're not gonna use a draft pick. But they're not

87
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: just looking at the top guys. They're not just looking

88
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: at the first round the point, you know, they're looking

89
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: at guys deeper into the draft. So, you know, they're

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: not necessarily just it's it's not Malik Willis or Kenny

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: pick It or or Desmond Ritter or bust here. Um.

92
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, if if if they you know, they get

93
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: into the third round and Carson Strong is there, maybe

94
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: they take a flyer on Carson Strong. Uh, you know,

95
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: even the fourth round. Um. But they're not they're not

96
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: guaranteed to take a quarterback in the first round. I

97
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's where some of the mock

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: drafters are kind of going off the rails here a

99
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: little bit with some of these national mock drafts, where

100
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: the Steelers are absolutely going to take a quarterback here,

101
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: so the top three guys are gone, just give him

102
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: Sam how No, that's that's not what they do. Good point. No,

103
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: I I think as usual, and this is not exclusive

104
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: to the Steelers, either now or very soon. You can

105
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: sit Kevin Colvert down, give them truths here. Um, give

106
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: me four names you think are in play for your

107
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: first round pick. He writes its four names down, and

108
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: the draft goes by, and we look back at it

109
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: after the draft. One of those four names will probably

110
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: be the one you know. And in the second round,

111
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: give me eight names. Okay, I'll drop them down before

112
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the draft, and it'll probably end up with ones on

113
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: both those lists. I bet there's quarterbacks on that list.

114
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, without question, I bet there is. But I

115
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: don't think the whole list is quarterbacks. The first the

116
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: first five guys on his list of his as we

117
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: always talk about his twenty guys that he would take

118
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: it twenty yeah, aren't going to be quarterbacks. No, right,

119
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: of course not. I I don't think so. I honestly,

120
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: let's say, do you agree. Let's take Strong out of

121
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: the equation that I think there's five quarterback prospects that

122
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: move the needle, and I like Strong too. I just

123
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear that they don't want an immobile guy.

124
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: I don't think he fits them. So if there's five

125
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: guys to move the knee doll, I did the Steelers

126
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: have a chance of getting one of the five wins

127
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: all said and done. Certainly not close to a hundred, No,

128
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, And again it's I don't

129
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: know that it would be necessarily in the first round.

130
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: I think it could be this a second round. Guy

131
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: um in a quick day along those lines, you know

132
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: all these rumors, boy Mike Tomlin has been really traveling

133
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: at all the quarterback workouts, And first of all, I'm

134
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: sure that's not an accident. Whether it smokes tree or not,

135
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: they want those reports to hit the internet. Of course,

136
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: there's also other people at those pro days. But I wrote,

137
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: I wake up this morning and one of the blurbs

138
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: I see are Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin or l

139
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: s use pro day. Well, they don't have a quarterback?

140
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Could they possibly be doing down there? Speaking of which,

141
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: I saw that Stingley ran. I haven't seen an official time,

142
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: but I saw that it was between four three three

143
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: and four five three eight. Maybe that's a trip for

144
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: nothing then, But there's other guys there. I mean, the

145
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: dudes are getting drafted right, Um, but yeah, I mean

146
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: they go they typically go to places where they can

147
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: see a lot of high level players. Jared Michigan, Ohio State, Bama.

148
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, right this year they threw some of the quarterbacks.

149
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: It's stuff in there. And I'll say this, they haven't

150
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: been quarterback shopping, seriously, quarterback shopping in eighteen years. So

151
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: we said that it could just be a situation where hey,

152
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: let's maybe we take one this year. Maybe we don't,

153
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: but let's at least start the journey here a little

154
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: bit and see what we're looking, what we're looking for,

155
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: and what we might want to see. You know, you

156
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: know what, you you know next year, if you don't

157
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: draft one this year, you'll have some comparison values on

158
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: those guys and you can see, okay, well we had

159
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: this grade on this guy and he hit We thought

160
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: he'd did these things, well we did, you know, didn't

161
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: think he did this as well, But then he showed

162
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: us differently as a pro assuming that they play a

163
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: lot as a rookie. On the other side of that,

164
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: you may have a guy who you know, show you thought, well,

165
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: we we thought this guy could do this, or we

166
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: thought he could do that, and showed that he couldn't

167
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: in his first year. Yeah, I mean, I'm not picking

168
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: on mac corral, but boy is that an unbelievably r

169
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: p O heavy offense. And he gets to the NFL

170
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: on some other team, they asked him to do more

171
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: traditional stuff and he fails after year one. Well, maybe

172
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: we'll take that note down for next year's Pro A

173
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: group to say, let's not ask these guys to make

174
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: such an abrupt transition or whatever. Another thing I think

175
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: that is absolutely in play though. Two is, like I said,

176
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: there's there's five of these quarterbacks, Hey, how rid are you?

177
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: Et cetera. And let's say they like three, Well, you

178
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: can't go to three pro days and ignore the other two.

179
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: The whole world knows that you're one of the quarterback teams,

180
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, whether you take one or not,

181
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: you want the world to think you like golf five. Yeah, absolutely,

182
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: And that's why you've you've seen the Steelers linked to

183
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: Sam how linked to Desmond, Ritter linked him a leak.

184
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: Willis linked to Kenny pickett Um. Not as much with Corral,

185
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: but that's largely because he just didn't work out until

186
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: until the you know, his pro day. But they met

187
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: with him at the Combine, they met, they went to

188
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: his pro day. It's not like they've ignored him. Um

189
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: so you know, so they've they've done their due diligence

190
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: with these guys. And as we saw with Dwayne Haskins,

191
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: just because he was drafted in the first round by

192
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: somebody else doesn't mean he's not available in a year

193
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: or two, oh absolutely, or after his first contract or

194
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: it's the Rosen situation. I know those things are odd

195
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: or you gotta play against them, and you need to.

196
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: You know, you want the extensive scouting reports on all

197
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks in the league, starting from way back as

198
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: far as you possibly can get. You want to know

199
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: what makes them tick, right, you know? And the more

200
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: I think about it's kind of like the conversation we've

201
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: said about you can't ignore one of the five. You

202
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: gotta make everyone think you're into all of them. It

203
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: would be a much bigger story to me if boy

204
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin hasn't been at any of those five pro

205
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: days or they didn't meet with these guys, like, you'd

206
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: be crazy what it would show your hand too much

207
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: if you didn't do it, did you know what? So

208
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, doing your due diligence

209
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: looking at these guys bringing them in. You don't. I mean,

210
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: you're right now you're dating these guys. This is understand

211
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: This is like, this is like the NFL second, It's

212
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: the NFL version of the Bachelor. Yeah, right right, you

213
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: brought all these guys in to see, Hey, do we

214
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: want to marry any of these dudes. We don't put

215
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: a ring on any of these guys fingers and say, Okay,

216
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna give you a shot. We're gonna see.

217
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: You know, if you're the quarterback in the future, you

218
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: have to do your due diligence with it. And it's

219
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: and of the Bachelor season. It's now episode five or six.

220
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's not episode one anymore. Um, not that

221
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: i'd watched the show, I assume it works. Hey, I'm

222
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: assuming that works too. I've never watched it either, but

223
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, I assume to be some people get weeded out.

224
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: I get the idea of that. I get the concept right, right,

225
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: right right, it's the third day, you know something like that.

226
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: It's not like the first date was a total flop

227
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. So my thing and I know I'm never

228
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: gonna get this answer, but I wonder, is there a

229
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: quarterback in their top twenty? Um? Are they really targeting

230
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: these guys if they fall past twenty late first move

231
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: up in the second? You know, Ritter and how come

232
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: to mind a little bit more with that? What's the

233
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: league think of quarterbacks? I'm really having a hard time

234
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: wrapping myself around what's really going on with this class

235
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: from a macro level and a micro Steeler level. And

236
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: of the reason I bring that up is because of

237
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: the strange Saints trade. You know, like part of me

238
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: thinks that if the Saints really want a quarterback, they

239
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: had to get two first round picks to get ahead

240
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: of Carolina because everybody in the planet nos Carolina has

241
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: taken pick it or willis probably pick it, you know,

242
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: which I think is very possible. I don't think the

243
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: Saints are still in the quarterback market, but that's a

244
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: different conversation. We can talk about that trade at different time.

245
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to read the t leaves the best

246
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: I can, and it's harder this year with the quarterbacks

247
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,199

259
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: can remember or the you know that that Saints trade.

260
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: We haven't really talked about that, but the Saints now

261
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: have two picks ahead of the Steelers. The the Eagles

262
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: traded away one of their picks, and so it could

263
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: be that they saw, Okay, we want to get a

264
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: player that can help us now and a quarterback, and

265
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: we got to do it before the Steelers pick. Yeah.

266
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's possible, and I think that

267
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: they might be in talks with the Giants to move

268
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: the five. Could be I think that's a possibility. What

269
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: I actually believe and part of This is because I'm

270
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: a Jamis apologist. Is they look at the NFC. I mean,

271
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: remember they're the most aggressive organization in the league. I

272
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: mean it's always Marti Gras in New York, in New Orleans,

273
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, there's it's never a hangover, It's

274
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: never too early to have your first hurricane. Let's let's

275
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: let's party, let's go. I think they, you know, kind

276
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: of like we talked about before, do you really trade

277
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: all those assets and signed James and signed Dalton. I

278
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: think they look at the NFC and say, we have

279
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: a really good defense. We really have two holes. We

280
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: have what we need, a receiver and a tackle, and

281
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: I think now we can get each and make a run.

282
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: I get it. But trading away a future first round

283
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: draft pick for that always means quarterback almost always Nobody

284
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: nobody ever trades away future picks for a defensive tackle

285
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: or officially a month before the draft, right like there

286
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: there has to be another part of that move coming. Yeah,

287
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean there could be a package to get up

288
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: ahead of you, get up early to get their guy

289
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: or whatever, or they absolutely think they'll get a quarterback

290
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: they like and something else. Like you said, I don't know.

291
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean again, I don't know what the league thinks

292
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: of this quarterbacks class. Does the league? Let's talk about that,

293
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: because there still seems to be I get this a

294
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: lot on d k P his first fourt So every

295
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: time I do a mock draft, well, I wouldn't take

296
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: any of these quarterbacks. These guys stink they're the worst

297
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: class ever. They're not the worst class ever. No, I

298
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: don't believe that either. I think people are I think

299
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: too many people have gotten caught up in well, if

300
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: these guys are any good, they'd go first and second

301
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: and third overall. And that's just not the reality of

302
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: the situae. That's not what used to happen, right right,

303
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: This is more of a reset on the quarterback class

304
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: than it is uh, because let's let's be realistic. Jamis

305
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: Winston and Marcus Mariotta, based on their play in the NFL,

306
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: should not have gone one and two in that draft

307
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: or went to Golf or Mayfield and you know, pick one.

308
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: Those guys are just average quarterbacks. They probably should have

309
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: in those drafts if they would have gone fifteen. Nobody

310
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: will be saying a word about if Baker Mayfield had

311
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: been the fifteenth pick in the draft instead of number

312
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: one overall. People would say, oh, that's not bad, not bad, right,

313
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: They've got a good value out of him, and he's

314
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: been a player for him. But he starts overall and

315
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: you passed on Josh Allen and you know Donald doesn't

316
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: look like a big deal. But no, you're right. I

317
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: mean the real answer might be in previous years, and

318
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: we know this is true, a lot of quarterbacks got overdrafted.

319
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones at four or five, that's ridiculous. I mean,

320
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. It's Trabinsky at two, right, although I think

321
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: U n C version of Miss Robinsky is a better

322
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: prospect than any of these guys. Daniel Jones coming out

323
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: of Duke is not. But the the question with Trabinsky

324
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: when he came out was he was a one year starter,

325
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: right right, right right? You know, so they're just he

326
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: just didn't have the the you know, the experience that

327
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: like you'd rather seen a three year starter there just

328
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: at the second overall pick. Yeah, he got thrown in

329
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: the fire quick to in the NFL. So I don't know,

330
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean, of all five and frankly, I mean to

331
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: the opposite point of when Scoff Mariotta, Winston Jones, Baker.

332
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: I didn't think Josh Allen was a very good quarterback prospect,

333
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: you know. I thought he's a big, big, strong guy

334
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 1: that had a lot of work to do. And I

335
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 1: kind of feel this way about all five of these players.

336
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: But where But but Allen went seventh? Right, all right?

337
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: So you know you weren't using the number one overall

338
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: pick on him. Like if if Malik Willis goes seventh,

339
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: that's probably where he should go. Mm hmm in that right,

340
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: not one? You know, so I think everybody's caught up. Well,

341
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: there's no clear cut there's no Trevor Lawrence in this draft,

342
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: so they must stink. No, that's not necessary. Yeah, agreed,

343
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: Like I don't think as it stands right now, any

344
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: of these guys are better, you know, some of the

345
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: best quarterback prospects we've scene. But I also think more

346
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: and more and more nobody thought Patrick Mahomes was either

347
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: or nobody yeah, lamar or you know what I mean?

348
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: Like all these guys that are stars now, and I

349
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: still think it's more important where they land, you know,

350
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: Like I bet would be pretty happy that Trevor Lawrence

351
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: if he would have went to the Patriots, And if

352
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: mac Jones goes to the Jags, he doesn't win Rookie

353
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 1: of the Year and doesn't win anything, you know. So

354
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: that's not to excuse who the players are. But I

355
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: believe that the Saints the Steelers, if they draft one

356
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: and I don't even care what the name is in

357
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: certain name here, he'll probably not fall on his face. Yeah,

358
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: because they'll have a good nest around him. The more

359
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: important as importantly a plan. Yeah, Sam, how did way

360
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: to try to do way too much last year? He

361
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: does not need to be running that much. He is

362
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: not a Josh Allen or an upper tier runner. He

363
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: was an effective runner, and I even at the Combine

364
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: he had some interviews saying, I was really unhappy with

365
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: how I played last year because I tried to do

366
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: too much. I didn't trust my offensive line. Things would

367
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: break down and I would just run and it got

368
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: us yardage and we won games. But that didn't make

369
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: me a better quarterback. Okay, Well, you're not gonna run

370
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: them over and over and over, you know. I mean,

371
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: you got to coach that out of him. And each

372
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: one of these guys has a couple of those things.

373
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: And if you asked Malik Willis to play from day one,

374
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: I think you're not gonna be happy about it unless

375
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: he's improvising like crazy, you know, like if you're asking

376
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: him to read defenses and go through progressions. Not that

377
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: he's dumb. He just played in elementary school offense. Yeah,

378
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: he just hasn't done it yet, right, you know, at

379
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: least Tray Lance's offense was pretty advanced. He hasn't played

380
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: him forever. Yeah, he just he just need you know.

381
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: That's the unofficial four three seven for Derek Stingley by

382
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: the way, that's the battle fly. Yeah, that'll that'll play. Um. Yeah.

383
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: So I think people are getting caught up in the

384
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: boy there's there. You know, there may not be a quarterback.

385
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: They see the mock drafts out there, some of them,

386
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: and it's not realistic that no quarterback goes in the

387
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: top thirty two picks. You know, that's just not realistic.

388
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: We're one quarterback goes in the top two picks. They'll

389
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: probably be three or four. Probably be three or four.

390
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we this year's different. You know, we've keep

391
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: hearing that over and over. It's not a good quarterback class.

392
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: History shows two to five go every year? Is this

393
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: year that much different? No? It, right, isn't. I mean

394
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: we went back in a couple of weeks ago and

395
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: looked at that two thousand and fourteen draft class, which

396
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: was not commanual. No, that was or the that Watton

397
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: Julio and A. J. Green and Cam and those guys. No,

398
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: that was two What am I talking about? That's I'm

399
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: doing bad math here. Two on that A thousand fourteen

400
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: is when Clowney went number one over all, Blake Bortles

401
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: went three. Yeah, Derek Car Derek Car and Derek Carr

402
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: was an early second round pick. Teddy Bridgewater was the

403
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: last pick of the fish, right, Yeah, yeah, the guys

404
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: that the the guys who went early in that draft

405
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: didn't work out. But then again, you had Teddy Bridgewater

406
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: at thirty two, Derek Carr thirty six, and and who

407
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: was the third one there was Jimmy Garoppolo. It's sixty two.

408
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: They're three games with all those guys, right, this very

409
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: well could be that draft. It could be. And frankly,

410
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: if you take a quarterback of twenty and he turns

411
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: out to be Derek Carr, you won absolutely, Yeah, you

412
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: definitely won especially on his rookie deal. Derek Carr at

413
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: this thirty six pick in the draft is an absolute

414
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: that's a home run. And then the other aspect of

415
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: it that's super important is it's a whole different conversation

416
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: of they were a good pick, they were a quality starter. Okay,

417
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: five years from now, do I pay them? That's a

418
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: different conversation, different conversation, yet totally different conversation. You have

419
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: to be pretty special for to have that conversation, you know.

420
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: But if I get five years of cost controlled, even

421
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy like played for the twentie pick in the draft,

422
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: my roster is gonna be really good. Yeah, because you

423
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: can build around that guy. You can go get new stuff.

424
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: You don't lose the stuff that you want to keep,

425
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, so that adds value. Yeah, absolutely,

426
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: So don't get caught up, folks, you know. That's that's

427
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: I think that the final point. No, A, the Steelers

428
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: aren't absolutely drafting a quarterback no matter what, because that

429
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: would be that would be completely out of character for

430
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: them and be This quarterback draft class is not the

431
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: worst thing ever. It's not it's not the worst. It's

432
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: not the team draft that be said if five quarterbacks

433
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: are off the board before the Steelers pick, I'm gonna

434
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: be like, boy, some teams made some mistakes that there

435
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: might be zero, there might be zero. There's a good

436
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: chance one of those five quarterbacks one of the top

437
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: five guys, and I would put this at sixty something

438
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: like that, that one of those guys is available to

439
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: them in the second round. Agreed with those percentages. Yeah,

440
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: although there could be a run. But I think the

441
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: turn is interesting late first because of the fifth year

442
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: option in the Lions. Early second I think could be

443
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta moved from I don't know where they picked, but

444
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: fifty up the or were probably like forty up to

445
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: thirty three and grabs Ridder or something, you know, some

446
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: of that stuff. One last thing about that, because I

447
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are also saying, well, just

448
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: wait and draft one next year because next year's class

449
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome. You don't know that. No, that's

450
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: a bad strategy that you take the quarterback that's available

451
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: to you now. If it's if you think he's a

452
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: if you think he's a future or potential future starting quarterback,

453
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: you take him now. You don't wait for next year.

454
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: You don't you don't play the whimpy game with this.

455
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad you'll play, you know, for for picks next

456
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: year because you don't know what what's gonna happen with

457
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: those guys. And the Steelers aren't the Jags or a

458
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: dreadful team that's gonna probably be in the top five

459
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: unless disaster totally happens, you know, Like I don't think

460
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: they win the Super Bowl. I don't think they're the

461
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: first overall pick, you know, but they went they went

462
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: and eight with Mason Rudolphin, Duck Hodges. Yeah, exactly, you know,

463
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I like the Ravens as soon as gonna

464
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: get hit as hard as injuries as the Ravens in

465
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: this past year. No, and they'll probably even if they

466
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: get hit hard, it's still gonna be seven eight win

467
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: season like Baltimore Mustard, you know. I mean, like it's

468
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: hard to be a top five pick. And even if

469
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: the Ohio State and Bama kids are even on the

470
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence tier prospects, it's not like you're gonna get

471
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: them right. You know, you're probably looking at the third

472
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: guy anyway. Even if those guys have as good at

473
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: years you think they're going to you know, absolutely, we're
