Speaker 1: dot Com and I'm gonna be a little bit more specific.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: It's Mike Dusseau, Evan Lazarre in us truly Paul Parola

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: for the Draft Prospect Review, where we review preview the

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: prospects in the two thousand and twenty three NFL Draft.

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: And as always, Evan, this is your first go around here.

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: We always start with the quarterbacks because that's all anybody

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: cares about except for you. UM. I don't know about

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: you guys, but I have my eye on Bryce Young.

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: I think this guy might might be okay too, he

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: might I think he might be picked up hie in

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: this draft. Um, it's a classic deuce. UM. I don't

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: know who's this, Levi's guy. So UM, just just to

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: sort of recap the the top of this draft with

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, looks like at least four in the first round,

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: and some people are talking about Hendon Hooker. Um, sort

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: of rising up the charts as well. But we want

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: to talk first, Bob, want to get your thoughts, you

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: guys on Bryce Young and C J. Stroud Alabama Ohio

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: State blue blood programs. Um your thoughts, which one is better? Mike?

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: You got well, I mean, and you know it's as

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: we joke about it, but this is I don't really

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: watch college football until we get to to January. And

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: I know Evan says the same thing, but then somehow,

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: like day two, Evan is like, yeah, I know all

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: these guys instantly, but it's a process for me, so

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: which I think I kind of like because I don't

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: really come to it with any you know, preconceived notions.

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, jumping into Bryce Young, I thought,

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: just a phenomenal athlete. To me, That's what stood out

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: to me, just overall the guy. I know, we can

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: talk about his size, but I think he has everything

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: else to me, and just you know, I don't want

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: to compare him to Aaron Rodgers, but when I see

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: how athletic Aaron Rodgers of a guy and just a

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: natural kind of quarterback, that's what I saw with Bryce Young.

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: His ability move in the pocket a little bit get

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: the ball out, has the athleticism when he needs it.

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: Like you said, it's just the size thing that's the question.

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: But I think overall for the game today, he can

45
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: do pretty much everything. It's just a question of, you know,

46
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: how well is he gonna hold up? Is he going

47
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: to be able to move in the pocket in the

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: NFL and avoid those big hits that you know might

49
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: cause some problems with his frame. But otherwise I think

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: he's a fantastic player and just a dynamic athlete fund

51
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: to watch. Yeah, I agree with all that. I think

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: the biggest thing that stands out about Bryce Young to

53
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: me is that last year at Alabama, their supporting cast

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: wasn't as good as it normally is. His production didn't

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: drop off. He was still just as good as he

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: was the year previously, throwing two guys that or not

57
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: these you know, Jamison Williams DeVante Smith type prospects that

58
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: we've seen some of the Alabama quarterbacks of the past.

59
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: I think when you compare him to see J. Stroud,

60
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: that might be something that Bryce Young has in his

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: cap that CJ. Strout can't necessarily say. You know, CJ.

62
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Stroud goes out there and He's throwing a Marvin Harrison

63
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: junior and Jackson Smith and Jigba and behind a great

64
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: offensive line that has two tackles that are probably gonna

65
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: get drafted in the first forty picks of the draft.

66
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: He's got an absolutely loaded supporting cast. Whereas Bryce Young,

67
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I think I really needed to carry his team a

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: little bit more last year than any of these other

69
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: guys besides maybe Will Levis. So I would give that

70
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: kudos to Bryce Young, especially because he's going into the

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: draft and he's gonna go to a team that's not

72
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: going to have a picture perfect scenario for a quarterback,

73
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: and he's already shown that he can at least hang

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: without all star talent around him. But Stroud in terms

75
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: of accuracy down the field and his ability to make

76
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: throws in the pocket, I think is the best quarterback

77
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: in the draft just from that pure standpoint, and you

78
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: saw that at the combine. He put on an absolute

79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: show in his throwing session. But his ability to throw

80
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: a touch, timing, anticipation, accuracy, all those types of things,

81
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: especially between the numbers, is exceptional. And then you also

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: look at his tape against Georgia and just forget about it,

83
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that was just an unbelievable quarterback performance against

84
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: the best defense in college football. So both guys have

85
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: a lot to really like about them. But if you're

86
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: looking at their NFL projection, I would lean Stroud maybe

87
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more than Bryce Young. But I do

88
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: have concerns about some of these other quarterbacks. The one

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: here included that we're playing with all of these tools

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: around them and then going to the NFL and playing

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: in muddy pockets, playing without elite wide receiver talent, Like,

92
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: how do you look in that environment? And that's going

93
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: to be a little bit of an adjustment. Yeah, I

94
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: like both of these guys as well. I'm with you, guys.

95
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: I would probably lean Stroud a little bit just because

96
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: of the obvious cliche. I mean, he's more of the

97
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: prototypical NFL size. And I really the point that Evan

98
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: made about the National semifinal against Georgia that happened to

99
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: Georgia really once in two years and is that night,

100
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: And I give Stroud a lot of credit for that.

101
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I think he was. He was outstanding that night. Um

102
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: will Levis and Anthony Richardson both also projected to go

103
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: in the first round. Um interesting kind of guys. Levice

104
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: At you know, kind of a physical marvel. I mean,

105
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: has a canon for an arm. Um makes a lot

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: of mistakes, mistake prone, So that's that's the drawback on him.

107
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: Richardson is also a kind of a project in that um,

108
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: you know as size. Obviously a lot of running ability,

109
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: dual threat guy, Um, a lot of speed, big arm

110
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: quote make can make all the throws. But you look

111
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: and he's you know, down in the in the mid

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: fifties for completion percentage. So some projections there. I didn't

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: want to spend too much time just I wanted to

114
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: obviously talk about Young and Stroud because they're clearly, uh,

115
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, the top of this draft. Um. I wanted

116
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: to get some opinions first. I'll ask both of you guys,

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: do you think the Patriots will select a quarterback in

118
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: this draft? I think later, I think later on as

119
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: we get to some of those later guys. I don't

120
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: know about earlier on. I didn't mean. I didn't mean

121
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: it fourteen okay, making sure that um, but both those guys,

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: I think it's, uh, it's kind of like a cold

123
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: play kick. We're gonna try to We're gonna try to

124
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: fix you. I think like Josh Allen is now probably

125
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: like the model of you know, hey, we can get

126
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: these guys with all the traits, the size, the arm everything,

127
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: physically walking off the bus looks like an NFL quarterback.

128
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I just I think that you

129
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: gotta be a little bit cautious about that. I think

130
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's a little bit of a unique story. I

131
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: don't think that it's so easy to just you know,

132
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: strap these guys in and and all right, we're gonna

133
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: teach them how to you know, take the checkdowns and

134
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: you know, make the easy plays and you know, have

135
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: that short accuracy and get getting the ball out quick

136
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: that that you need to do. So um, both are

137
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: just impressive, huge dudes. I mean Richardson looking at him

138
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: at the combine, I mean he just you know, it's

139
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: like he sculpted from Since Mike's not listening to my questions,

140
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: do you think the Patriots will select a quarterback in

141
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: this draft yet? Know? Somewhere I'm gonna go on my

142
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, No, you don't know. I don't thank you.

143
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: One of those guys is going to be available. Pots

144
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: might be you're interesting. I think it might be off

145
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the board by the fourth pick in the draft. Yeah,

146
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy's phenomenal. But in terms of your question, yes,

147
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 1: I do think the Patriots should and will draft another

148
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: quarterback because every single time he talks about Mac Jones,

149
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick sounds less sold every single time we hear

150
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: from him. And if you really are not all in

151
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: on the guy that you already have, then you've got

152
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: to keep throwing darts at the board. And I'm not

153
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: necessarily saying that they're going to take a quarterback in

154
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: the top one hundred. I think that's a little bit rich,

155
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: but around where they took Bailey Zappy last year and

156
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: Day three, fourth round, I think that that's where we're

157
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: looking at another quarterback. And I think a lot of

158
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: people are asking, well, why when you have Mac Jones

159
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: and then you've already hedged it with Bailey Zappy. But

160
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: I think somebody that I'm sure some of the guys

161
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: will talk about that are a little bit more athletic,

162
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: that can create a little bit more out of structure,

163
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: that have a little bit more arm talent than the

164
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: two guys that they already have on the ross to

165
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of round out their their talent pool at that position.

166
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: You got the pocket passers, you got the timing guys,

167
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: the accuracy guys. Maybe somebody that brings a little bit

168
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: more of that Jalen Hurt type of skill set to

169
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: the table. Wouldn't necessarily Hurt. We'll talk about dtr from

170
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, UCLA. It's a guy we've talked about plenty

171
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: in the predat process. Was out at the Shrine Bowl

172
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: with all the coaches, and I mean it's everything Evan said.

173
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, not the biggest guy, certainly, not a prototypical

174
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: body type, but an arm like a cannon, you know,

175
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: and has that athleticism. And I might not look at

176
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: urience to a lot of games under his belt, five

177
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: year starter, and I look at it just as even

178
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: if you're not talking about trying to compete with Mac

179
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: for the starting position, it's a guy on the roster

180
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: that can maybe help you prepare for some of these

181
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks that have given you such a hard time

182
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: over the last few years. So there's that element to it,

183
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: you know. Jake Hayner from the Senior Bowl was another one.

184
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: You know, just these mid round guys that your thoughts

185
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: on Jake Hayner in particular, he was one of the

186
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: sort of mid to late round guys that stood out

187
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: to me. I'm just curious you guys thought, yeah, a

188
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: little older. I mean, I think he's, you know, that

189
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: kind of guy and the you know, mid range kind

190
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: of has the Patriots. He kind of smart, you know,

191
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: understands how to get the ball out. You know, that's

192
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: what I tend to look. Yeah, he's not that guy,

193
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: and that's and that's probably maybe maybe that's a knock

194
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: against him, but he's very Taylor heineke E to me,

195
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: where he has a little bit of I saw that

196
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: comparison to him a couple of times in reading about him.

197
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: He's got a little bit of moxie, right, he runs

198
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: around a little bit and can't create out of structure

199
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: to a degree. He's not going to go and roll

200
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: out of the pocket and throw it fifty yards on

201
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: a rope down the field. That's not his game. And

202
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that you looked at that

203
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: was a little bit concerning what the arm strength and

204
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: the arm talent in general is when he had to

205
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: reset in the pocket, come off his first read, reset

206
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: his feet, get to the second the ball knows dives

207
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: right because he doesn't have that that just natural velocity

208
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: to stand in there and reposition his feet and let

209
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: it go. But I love the games. He's a gamer

210
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: like competitive. I love that element of his game. You

211
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: mentioned DTR. If there's a mid round quarterback that the

212
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to draft, I would be just absolutely

213
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: stunted if it's not DTR because there's a guy that

214
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: they worked for a week with at the Shrine Bowl,

215
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: played five years for Chip Kelly, who we know is

216
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: a friend of Belichick, and got better every year at UCLA.

217
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: I think he's really somebody that processes and sees the

218
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: field pretty well. Not as much against zone, but against man.

219
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: He finds those open guys a single coverage against man

220
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: and throws away from leverage and help and things like that.

221
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: Against zone, he loses guys from times to time. That

222
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: that was one concern that I saw with him on

223
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: film was you know those lurkers, those ball hawkers, you

224
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: know that are kind of just trying to hide themselves

225
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. He can lose those

226
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: guys from time to time and throw some bad interceptions.

227
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: But it's starting to come along for him from all levels,

228
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, terms of his athleticism, his ability to throw

229
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: the football, and then also the processing and things like that,

230
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: and they don't know anything more Like this is a

231
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: guy that they know the most I think maybe out

232
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: of any prospect that they've ever seen, right, I mean

233
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: they worked with him for a week he played for

234
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. I just can't imagine they have more homework

235
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: done on another guy. Besides, yeah, I'm with you guys,

236
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: and it's Dorian Thompson Robinson just in case people haven't

237
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: time is well versed on the on the initials. But yeah,

238
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: he's been the starter at UCLA forever. You know, Evan

239
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: mentioned really five years as the starter, and he did

240
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: get better every year. He kind of came in. When

241
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: he first started playing, he was more of an athlete

242
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: playing quarterback, running around just trying to play schoolyard ball,

243
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: and you know, by the time his career ended, he

244
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: was much more refined as a passer. I think he

245
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: still has some accuracy issues from time to time. Evan,

246
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: you talked about, you know, the zones and things like

247
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: that that maybe he struggles with. But I think you know,

248
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: you're talking fifth or sixth round, fourth fifth sixth round somewhere,

249
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: you know in day three. Yeah, I mean I think

250
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: there's obviously quarterbacks that you're thinking about it that level.

251
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: There there were drawbacks, right, there were red flag it's

252
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: it's size problems. And you look at this whole list.

253
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: You know, Jarren Hall from b YU, he's you know,

254
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: he's you know, I think you kind of have a

255
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: hard time watching a b YU quarterback without thinking Zach Wilson, right,

256
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: you know it's a little smaller, uh, you know, good athlete.

257
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: Another competitive guy we talked about Hanter. Did you guys

258
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: watch the Division two kids from Shephard at all Tyson Bay? Yeah, yeah,

259
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: not so much. I watched him a lot of the

260
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl of Senior Bowl practices and uh, you know,

261
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: smaller guy the overte Bowl practices. What else was I

262
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: gonna do? But we just clossed over Jared Hall. Yeah

263
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: well no, Jaren Hall, go ahead, go into Jarren Hall.

264
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: Then discount Kyler Murray. That's what I would call him.

265
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: The guy that can really create out of structure, got

266
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: a live arm. I mean, this is somebody that from

267
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: far hash is gonna hit hit the hit the fifteen

268
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: yard out from the far Hash right, There's not that

269
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: many guys that do that consistently as well as him.

270
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: But what I really like about him is his ability

271
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: to throw out of structure and on the move. This

272
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: is somebody that can roll out of the pocket to

273
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: his arm side against his arm side and flick the

274
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: wrist and just get the football there. He's under size

275
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: though he's you know, six feet tall, he's two hundred pounds,

276
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, discount Kyler. I love that comparison. I've heard that.

277
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to take credit for Draft Network. Kyle

278
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: Krabs is the first one that I saw have that one.

279
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: It's difficult to find a guy that's his size that

280
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: has that arm other than Kyler. He's not as athletic

281
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: as Kyler. Like Kyler's you know, top number one overall

282
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: pick in football, top ten pick in baseball, Like, there's

283
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: not very many guys like that. But Jaren Hall, I

284
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: think it's got something to him. Might he to me?

285
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: The BYU thing is a little bit of a concern, though,

286
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: I will admit that that those guys, they play in

287
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: a very simplified system for quarterbacks. They're not under pressure

288
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: a whole lot. It's all the Zach Wilson issues that

289
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: we had coming in. But if you just want somebody

290
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: that's got tools, he's definitely someone that category. Yeah, the

291
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: consistency definitely lacking. But I wrote down the same thing

292
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: that Evan just said, I put, I put off platform ability,

293
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: And maybe it's something that I'm a little bit more

294
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: conscious of watching after seeing Mac Jones, who I think

295
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: struggles in those kinds of situations. So maybe that's kind

296
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: of a trait that I've been looking for. But yeah,

297
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: I think these are all these day three kind of

298
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that could all be in the mix. I think

299
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: we all agree that if the Patriots are targeting one,

300
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: it's one that they have as much information on as

301
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: anybody with DTR. Yeah, I think, you know, and just

302
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: to you know, go back real quick. I mean, I'm

303
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: just I'm interested in what happens with will Levis and

304
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Henn and Hooker. You know, where do they go because

305
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm right now I feel like it's I mean, I know,

306
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: we're in the misinformation stage right now where everybody's like

307
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: he's not a first round, Oh, he's a first round,

308
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: so you know, But I mean I really liked Hooker too.

309
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Hooker would be my pick. I just think

310
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna go too early, I know, And and he's

311
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: in he's old, and but you know, I just again

312
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: go back to the Senior Bowl. Wasn't participating, but you

313
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: got to just hear a lot from him, and he just,

314
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, sounds like a really good kid kind of guy.

315
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: He'd love to have in um, you know. And the

316
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: other guy just would maybe bring up Tanner McKee from

317
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: from Stanford, which I kind of I was like really

318
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: because I was like, I was like this this Drewe

319
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: bloodstoe like a big statue in that one was funny.

320
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: But I Tanner McKee was the one guy throughout this

321
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: whole process with the quarterbacks. I was like, really like

322
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: this is this is there basically the consensus behind Hooker.

323
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: This is the next guy for the consensus. And I

324
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: was shocked that that would be the case, because he's

325
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: a statue in the pocket. His arm talent's not fantastic.

326
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't see it with him. But

327
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,239
Speaker 1: with Hooker, I find the Hooker discord is very fascinating

328
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: because this is not a player that's perfect on film

329
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: by any means. And I feel like he gets discussed like, oh, well,

330
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: if he didn't have the ACL and he wasn't twenty

331
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: five years old, and this would be a lock first

332
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: round pick. The processing with him is is a concern

333
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: that I had, especially watching him in games against like LSU,

334
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: for example, in the first to half, or he just

335
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: holds the ball, man, Like he just holds the ball

336
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: for a really really long time and you're just like,

337
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: you get you got to get rid of the ball, dude,

338
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Like he's just a predetermined stuff. Yeah, Like at his best,

339
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: it's system, because that's a little bit of a different

340
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: system they have. You want to talk up tempo, that's us.

341
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: You know how quickly they get their plays off with

342
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: Josh Hypel's offense at Tennessee. So I think the red

343
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: flags that Evan's talking about beyond the twenty cl in age, um,

344
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: you know that there are some I think some refinements

345
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: there as well. But I like the idea of bringing

346
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: him Like if you dropped a quarterback. He's not playing

347
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: for the Patriots this year, right, So I like the

348
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: idea of being able to nurse him from his twenty

349
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: cl get him in your system. There's no pressure to

350
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: watch him play, but if you could get third fourth round.

351
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: If you could get him in that like interesting, I

352
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: think he's going before that. I think he's gonna go

353
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: probably early day too, and some people, some people even

354
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: have him in the first round. You know. I think

355
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: that's my concern with Hooker and that that vein is

356
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: that he's already twenty five years old. He's gonna have

357
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: the torn acl which means that he's probably not actually

358
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: going to practice or play at all in camp or

359
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: anything like that or in the preseason, and then he's

360
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: still got a ways to go as a processor. So

361
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: by the time he's hitting his ceiling, we're probably talking

362
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: about year three or year four, and he's twenty eight

363
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: years old now and he's already going on that second contract.

364
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: It just the timeline doesn't add up for me. I mean,

365
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a great point. And you're

366
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: talking about a team that's gonna maybe spend a second

367
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: round pick on him, and then they're dealing with those

368
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: issues too, And that's why it's like, Man, if he

369
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: was just in the fourth round, there's some stuff you

370
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: could work with. Maybe he has some maturity, and hey,

371
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: if he is twenty eight when you finally get him,

372
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: out there, but he's good. You know. It's a tough one.

373
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: But I just think that people need to recognize that

374
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: the timeline that the Eagles took Jalen Hurts with Carson

375
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: Wentz already there is we're a few years from that

376
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: with Mac Jones. Carson Wentz was going into his fifth

377
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: year on his fifth year option in twenty twenty when

378
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: they took Jalen Hurts, so you're still two years removed

379
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: from that, and so I think somebody like Hooker is

380
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: a little bit older. I still think he needs some refinement.

381
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: You know, they're just instances where he's holding the football

382
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: and he gets blindsided and striped, sacked, or he's late

383
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: to a throw deep. I actually don't think he's a

384
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: really accurate deep ball thrower. I think he's just throwing

385
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: open guys all the time, throwing deep. So the comparison

386
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: that I used for him was Marcus Mariota because I

387
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: really feel like he's somebody that in the short and

388
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: intermediate that those rhythm throws like that's where he lives,

389
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: like that's where his comfort zone is. And then he

390
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: obviously adds the athleticism, but when he has to throw

391
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: into tighter coverage down the field, it gets a little

392
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: bit wonky. The fact that you know, Jalen High it's

393
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: five yards behind everybody. I'm not really great in those throws.

394
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: Is like, oh wow, great throw by the quarterback. So

395
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: I like Cooker. I think that he's going to be

396
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: a potential starter down the road. I just don't know

397
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: if the timeline necessarily matches up. So Deuce, I made

398
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: the mistake before we started here because Evan hasn't done

399
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: these before, and I was explaining how we try to

400
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: keep these a little bit tight. You know, about ten minutes,

401
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: no chance, without question. The quarterback one should have been

402
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: the shortest. It's not. So we're gonna put a nice

403
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: little bow on on our phone. It will be the shortest.

404
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: Just wait till wide receivers and tight ends. Well that one, well,

405
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: that one's a little bit longer. You know, usually the

406
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: offensive line we should be able to I don't tighten

407
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: up a little bit, but that's gonna put a wrap

408
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: on our quarterbacks. Edition of our Draft prospect review, will

409
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,160
