<v Speaker 1>dot Com and I'm gonna be a little bit more specific.

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 1>It's Mike Dusseau, Evan Lazarre in us truly Paul Parola

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>for the Draft Prospect Review, where we review preview the

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>prospects in the two thousand and twenty three NFL Draft.

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>And as always, Evan, this is your first go around here.

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>We always start with the quarterbacks because that's all anybody

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>cares about except for you. UM. I don't know about

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys, but I have my eye on Bryce Young.

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I think this guy might might be okay too, he

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>might I think he might be picked up hie in

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>this draft. Um, it's a classic deuce. UM. I don't

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>know who's this, Levi's guy. So UM, just just to

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>sort of recap the the top of this draft with

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks, looks like at least four in the first round,

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.759
<v Speaker 1>and some people are talking about Hendon Hooker. Um, sort

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of rising up the charts as well. But we want

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to talk first, Bob, want to get your thoughts, you

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>guys on Bryce Young and C J. Stroud Alabama Ohio

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>State blue blood programs. Um your thoughts, which one is better? Mike?

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 1>You got well, I mean, and you know it's as

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>we joke about it, but this is I don't really

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>watch college football until we get to to January. And

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I know Evan says the same thing, but then somehow,

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>like day two, Evan is like, yeah, I know all

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>these guys instantly, but it's a process for me, so

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>which I think I kind of like because I don't

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>really come to it with any you know, preconceived notions.

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>But uh, you know, jumping into Bryce Young, I thought,

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>just a phenomenal athlete. To me, That's what stood out

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>to me, just overall the guy. I know, we can

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about his size, but I think he has everything

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>else to me, and just you know, I don't want

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>to compare him to Aaron Rodgers, but when I see

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>how athletic Aaron Rodgers of a guy and just a

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>natural kind of quarterback, that's what I saw with Bryce Young.

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>His ability move in the pocket a little bit get

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the ball out, has the athleticism when he needs it.

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, it's just the size thing that's the question.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>But I think overall for the game today, he can

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.799
<v Speaker 1>do pretty much everything. It's just a question of, you know,

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>how well is he gonna hold up? Is he going

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to be able to move in the pocket in the

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>NFL and avoid those big hits that you know might

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>cause some problems with his frame. But otherwise I think

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 1>he's a fantastic player and just a dynamic athlete fund

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>to watch. Yeah, I agree with all that. I think

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the biggest thing that stands out about Bryce Young to

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>me is that last year at Alabama, their supporting cast

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>wasn't as good as it normally is. His production didn't

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>drop off. He was still just as good as he

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>was the year previously, throwing two guys that or not

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>these you know, Jamison Williams DeVante Smith type prospects that

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>we've seen some of the Alabama quarterbacks of the past.

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I think when you compare him to see J. Stroud,

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>that might be something that Bryce Young has in his

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>cap that CJ. Strout can't necessarily say. You know, CJ.

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Stroud goes out there and He's throwing a Marvin Harrison

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>junior and Jackson Smith and Jigba and behind a great

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 1>offensive line that has two tackles that are probably gonna

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>get drafted in the first forty picks of the draft.

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 1>He's got an absolutely loaded supporting cast. Whereas Bryce Young,

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I really needed to carry his team a

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit more last year than any of these other

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>guys besides maybe Will Levis. So I would give that

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>kudos to Bryce Young, especially because he's going into the

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>draft and he's gonna go to a team that's not

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>going to have a picture perfect scenario for a quarterback,

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>and he's already shown that he can at least hang

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>without all star talent around him. But Stroud in terms

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of accuracy down the field and his ability to make

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>throws in the pocket, I think is the best quarterback

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>in the draft just from that pure standpoint, and you

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>saw that at the combine. He put on an absolute

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>show in his throwing session. But his ability to throw

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>a touch, timing, anticipation, accuracy, all those types of things,

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>especially between the numbers, is exceptional. And then you also

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>look at his tape against Georgia and just forget about it,

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that was just an unbelievable quarterback performance against

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the best defense in college football. So both guys have

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot to really like about them. But if you're

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>looking at their NFL projection, I would lean Stroud maybe

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more than Bryce Young. But I do

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>have concerns about some of these other quarterbacks. The one

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>here included that we're playing with all of these tools

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>around them and then going to the NFL and playing

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>in muddy pockets, playing without elite wide receiver talent, Like,

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>how do you look in that environment? And that's going

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to be a little bit of an adjustment. Yeah, I

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>like both of these guys as well. I'm with you, guys.

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I would probably lean Stroud a little bit just because

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.919
<v Speaker 1>of the obvious cliche. I mean, he's more of the

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>prototypical NFL size. And I really the point that Evan

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>made about the National semifinal against Georgia that happened to

0:04:55.640 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Georgia really once in two years and is that night,

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>And I give Stroud a lot of credit for that.

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I think he was. He was outstanding that night. Um

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>will Levis and Anthony Richardson both also projected to go

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>in the first round. Um interesting kind of guys. Levice

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>At you know, kind of a physical marvel. I mean,

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 1>has a canon for an arm. Um makes a lot

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>of mistakes, mistake prone, So that's that's the drawback on him.

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Richardson is also a kind of a project in that um,

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you know as size. Obviously a lot of running ability,

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 1>dual threat guy, Um, a lot of speed, big arm

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>quote make can make all the throws. But you look

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's you know, down in the in the mid

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>fifties for completion percentage. So some projections there. I didn't

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>want to spend too much time just I wanted to

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously talk about Young and Stroud because they're clearly, uh,

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, the top of this draft. Um. I wanted

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to get some opinions first. I'll ask both of you guys,

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>do you think the Patriots will select a quarterback in

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 1>this draft? I think later, I think later on as

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>we get to some of those later guys. I don't

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>know about earlier on. I didn't mean. I didn't mean

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>it fourteen okay, making sure that um, but both those guys,

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's, uh, it's kind of like a cold

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>play kick. We're gonna try to We're gonna try to

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>fix you. I think like Josh Allen is now probably

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like the model of you know, hey, we can get

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>these guys with all the traits, the size, the arm everything,

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>physically walking off the bus looks like an NFL quarterback.

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.039
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you know, I just I think that you

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta be a little bit cautious about that. I think

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen's a little bit of a unique story. I

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>don't think that it's so easy to just you know,

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>strap these guys in and and all right, we're gonna

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>teach them how to you know, take the checkdowns and

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, make the easy plays and you know, have

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>that short accuracy and get getting the ball out quick

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>that that you need to do. So um, both are

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>just impressive, huge dudes. I mean Richardson looking at him

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>at the combine, I mean he just you know, it's

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>like he sculpted from Since Mike's not listening to my questions,

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>do you think the Patriots will select a quarterback in

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>this draft yet? Know? Somewhere I'm gonna go on my

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Richardson, No, you don't know. I don't thank you.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>One of those guys is going to be available. Pots

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 1>might be you're interesting. I think it might be off

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the board by the fourth pick in the draft. Yeah,

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that guy's phenomenal. But in terms of your question, yes,

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.239
<v Speaker 1>I do think the Patriots should and will draft another

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>quarterback because every single time he talks about Mac Jones,

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Bill Belichick sounds less sold every single time we hear

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>from him. And if you really are not all in

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>on the guy that you already have, then you've got

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>to keep throwing darts at the board. And I'm not

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>necessarily saying that they're going to take a quarterback in

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the top one hundred. I think that's a little bit rich,

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>but around where they took Bailey Zappy last year and

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Day three, fourth round, I think that that's where we're

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>looking at another quarterback. And I think a lot of

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 1>people are asking, well, why when you have Mac Jones

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and then you've already hedged it with Bailey Zappy. But

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I think somebody that I'm sure some of the guys

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>will talk about that are a little bit more athletic,

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>that can create a little bit more out of structure,

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>that have a little bit more arm talent than the

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>two guys that they already have on the ross to

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of round out their their talent pool at that position.

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>You got the pocket passers, you got the timing guys,

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 1>the accuracy guys. Maybe somebody that brings a little bit

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>more of that Jalen Hurt type of skill set to

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the table. Wouldn't necessarily Hurt. We'll talk about dtr from

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, UCLA. It's a guy we've talked about plenty

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>in the predat process. Was out at the Shrine Bowl

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>with all the coaches, and I mean it's everything Evan said.

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, not the biggest guy, certainly, not a prototypical

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>body type, but an arm like a cannon, you know,

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and has that athleticism. And I might not look at

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 1>urience to a lot of games under his belt, five

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>year starter, and I look at it just as even

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're not talking about trying to compete with Mac

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>for the starting position, it's a guy on the roster

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that can maybe help you prepare for some of these

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.679
<v Speaker 1>mobile quarterbacks that have given you such a hard time

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>over the last few years. So there's that element to it,

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you know. Jake Hayner from the Senior Bowl was another one.

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, just these mid round guys that your thoughts

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>on Jake Hayner in particular, he was one of the

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>sort of mid to late round guys that stood out

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.839
<v Speaker 1>to me. I'm just curious you guys thought, yeah, a

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>little older. I mean, I think he's, you know, that

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy and the you know, mid range kind

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>of has the Patriots. He kind of smart, you know,

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>understands how to get the ball out. You know, that's

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 1>what I tend to look. Yeah, he's not that guy,

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's and that's probably maybe maybe that's a knock

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>against him, but he's very Taylor heineke E to me,

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>where he has a little bit of I saw that

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>comparison to him a couple of times in reading about him.

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>He's got a little bit of moxie, right, he runs

0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>around a little bit and can't create out of structure

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to a degree. He's not going to go and roll

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>out of the pocket and throw it fifty yards on

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>a rope down the field. That's not his game. And

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I think the one thing that you looked at that

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.079
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit concerning what the arm strength and

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the arm talent in general is when he had to

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>reset in the pocket, come off his first read, reset

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>his feet, get to the second the ball knows dives

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>right because he doesn't have that that just natural velocity

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to stand in there and reposition his feet and let

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it go. But I love the games. He's a gamer

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 1>like competitive. I love that element of his game. You

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>mentioned DTR. If there's a mid round quarterback that the

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Patriots are going to draft, I would be just absolutely

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>stunted if it's not DTR because there's a guy that

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 1>they worked for a week with at the Shrine Bowl,

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>played five years for Chip Kelly, who we know is

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a friend of Belichick, and got better every year at UCLA.

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he's really somebody that processes and sees the

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 1>field pretty well. Not as much against zone, but against man.

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>He finds those open guys a single coverage against man

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and throws away from leverage and help and things like that.

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Against zone, he loses guys from times to time. That

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>that was one concern that I saw with him on

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 1>film was you know those lurkers, those ball hawkers, you

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>know that are kind of just trying to hide themselves

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the field. He can lose those

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 1>guys from time to time and throw some bad interceptions.

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's starting to come along for him from all levels,

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, terms of his athleticism, his ability to throw

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the football, and then also the processing and things like that,

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and they don't know anything more Like this is a

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>guy that they know the most I think maybe out

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>of any prospect that they've ever seen, right, I mean

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.679
<v Speaker 1>they worked with him for a week he played for

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Chip Kelly. I just can't imagine they have more homework

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>done on another guy. Besides, yeah, I'm with you guys,

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and it's Dorian Thompson Robinson just in case people haven't

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>time is well versed on the on the initials. But yeah,

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>he's been the starter at UCLA forever. You know, Evan

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>mentioned really five years as the starter, and he did

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>get better every year. He kind of came in. When

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>he first started playing, he was more of an athlete

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>playing quarterback, running around just trying to play schoolyard ball,

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, by the time his career ended, he

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>was much more refined as a passer. I think he

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>still has some accuracy issues from time to time. Evan,

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you talked about, you know, the zones and things like

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that that maybe he struggles with. But I think you know,

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>you're talking fifth or sixth round, fourth fifth sixth round somewhere,

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.199
<v Speaker 1>you know in day three. Yeah, I mean I think

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>there's obviously quarterbacks that you're thinking about it that level.

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>There there were drawbacks, right, there were red flag it's

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>it's size problems. And you look at this whole list.

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jarren Hall from b YU, he's you know,

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>he's you know, I think you kind of have a

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>hard time watching a b YU quarterback without thinking Zach Wilson, right,

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you know it's a little smaller, uh, you know, good athlete.

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Another competitive guy we talked about Hanter. Did you guys

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>watch the Division two kids from Shephard at all Tyson Bay? Yeah, yeah,

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>not so much. I watched him a lot of the

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Senior Bowl of Senior Bowl practices and uh, you know,

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>smaller guy the overte Bowl practices. What else was I

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna do? But we just clossed over Jared Hall. Yeah

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>well no, Jaren Hall, go ahead, go into Jarren Hall.

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Then discount Kyler Murray. That's what I would call him.

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>The guy that can really create out of structure, got

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a live arm. I mean, this is somebody that from

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 1>far hash is gonna hit hit the hit the fifteen

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 1>yard out from the far Hash right, There's not that

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>many guys that do that consistently as well as him.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>But what I really like about him is his ability

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>to throw out of structure and on the move. This

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.440
<v Speaker 1>is somebody that can roll out of the pocket to

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 1>his arm side against his arm side and flick the

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 1>wrist and just get the football there. He's under size

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 1>though he's you know, six feet tall, he's two hundred pounds,

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, discount Kyler. I love that comparison. I've heard that.

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to take credit for Draft Network. Kyle

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Krabs is the first one that I saw have that one.

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>It's difficult to find a guy that's his size that

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>has that arm other than Kyler. He's not as athletic

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 1>as Kyler. Like Kyler's you know, top number one overall

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>pick in football, top ten pick in baseball, Like, there's

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>not very many guys like that. But Jaren Hall, I

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>think it's got something to him. Might he to me?

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 1>The BYU thing is a little bit of a concern, though,

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.679
<v Speaker 1>I will admit that that those guys, they play in

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a very simplified system for quarterbacks. They're not under pressure

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot. It's all the Zach Wilson issues that

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 1>we had coming in. But if you just want somebody

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 1>that's got tools, he's definitely someone that category. Yeah, the

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>consistency definitely lacking. But I wrote down the same thing

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that Evan just said, I put, I put off platform ability,

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 1>And maybe it's something that I'm a little bit more

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>conscious of watching after seeing Mac Jones, who I think

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>struggles in those kinds of situations. So maybe that's kind

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>of a trait that I've been looking for. But yeah,

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I think these are all these day three kind of

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks that could all be in the mix. I think

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>we all agree that if the Patriots are targeting one,

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>it's one that they have as much information on as

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>anybody with DTR. Yeah, I think, you know, and just

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>to you know, go back real quick. I mean, I'm

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 1>just I'm interested in what happens with will Levis and

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Henn and Hooker. You know, where do they go because

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm right now I feel like it's I mean, I know,

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>we're in the misinformation stage right now where everybody's like

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 1>he's not a first round, Oh, he's a first round,

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 1>so you know, But I mean I really liked Hooker too.

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Hooker would be my pick. I just think

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna go too early, I know, And and he's

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>in he's old, and but you know, I just again

0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>go back to the Senior Bowl. Wasn't participating, but you

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 1>got to just hear a lot from him, and he just,

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, sounds like a really good kid kind of guy.

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>He'd love to have in um, you know. And the

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>other guy just would maybe bring up Tanner McKee from

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 1>from Stanford, which I kind of I was like really

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>because I was like, I was like this this Drewe

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:17.480
<v Speaker 1>bloodstoe like a big statue in that one was funny.

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 1>But I Tanner McKee was the one guy throughout this

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>whole process with the quarterbacks. I was like, really like

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>this is this is there basically the consensus behind Hooker.

0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>This is the next guy for the consensus. And I

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>was shocked that that would be the case, because he's

0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a statue in the pocket. His arm talent's not fantastic.

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't see it with him. But

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:42.239
<v Speaker 1>with Hooker, I find the Hooker discord is very fascinating

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>because this is not a player that's perfect on film

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>by any means. And I feel like he gets discussed like, oh, well,

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>if he didn't have the ACL and he wasn't twenty

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>five years old, and this would be a lock first

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>round pick. The processing with him is is a concern

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 1>that I had, especially watching him in games against like LSU,

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>for example, in the first to half, or he just

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>holds the ball, man, Like he just holds the ball

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>for a really really long time and you're just like,

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>you get you got to get rid of the ball, dude,

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Like he's just a predetermined stuff. Yeah, Like at his best,

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>it's system, because that's a little bit of a different

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>system they have. You want to talk up tempo, that's us.

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 1>You know how quickly they get their plays off with

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Josh Hypel's offense at Tennessee. So I think the red

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 1>flags that Evan's talking about beyond the twenty cl in age, um,

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you know that there are some I think some refinements

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>there as well. But I like the idea of bringing

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 1>him Like if you dropped a quarterback. He's not playing

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>for the Patriots this year, right, So I like the

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 1>idea of being able to nurse him from his twenty

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>cl get him in your system. There's no pressure to

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 1>watch him play, but if you could get third fourth round.

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.360
<v Speaker 1>If you could get him in that like interesting, I

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 1>think he's going before that. I think he's gonna go

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>probably early day too, and some people, some people even

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 1>have him in the first round. You know. I think

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 1>that's my concern with Hooker and that that vein is

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 1>that he's already twenty five years old. He's gonna have

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 1>the torn acl which means that he's probably not actually

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 1>going to practice or play at all in camp or

0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>anything like that or in the preseason, and then he's

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.399
<v Speaker 1>still got a ways to go as a processor. So

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>by the time he's hitting his ceiling, we're probably talking

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 1>about year three or year four, and he's twenty eight

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 1>years old now and he's already going on that second contract.

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 1>It just the timeline doesn't add up for me. I mean,

0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.479
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it's a great point. And you're

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about a team that's gonna maybe spend a second

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 1>round pick on him, and then they're dealing with those

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:40.919
<v Speaker 1>issues too, And that's why it's like, Man, if he

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>was just in the fourth round, there's some stuff you

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 1>could work with. Maybe he has some maturity, and hey,

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>if he is twenty eight when you finally get him,

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>out there, but he's good. You know. It's a tough one.

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>But I just think that people need to recognize that

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.399
<v Speaker 1>the timeline that the Eagles took Jalen Hurts with Carson

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Wentz already there is we're a few years from that

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.960
<v Speaker 1>with Mac Jones. Carson Wentz was going into his fifth

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.639
<v Speaker 1>year on his fifth year option in twenty twenty when

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>they took Jalen Hurts, so you're still two years removed

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 1>from that, and so I think somebody like Hooker is

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.439
<v Speaker 1>a little bit older. I still think he needs some refinement.

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're just instances where he's holding the football

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and he gets blindsided and striped, sacked, or he's late

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 1>to a throw deep. I actually don't think he's a

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.960
<v Speaker 1>really accurate deep ball thrower. I think he's just throwing

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 1>open guys all the time, throwing deep. So the comparison

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>that I used for him was Marcus Mariota because I

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 1>really feel like he's somebody that in the short and

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 1>intermediate that those rhythm throws like that's where he lives,

0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>like that's where his comfort zone is. And then he

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 1>obviously adds the athleticism, but when he has to throw

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.360
<v Speaker 1>into tighter coverage down the field, it gets a little

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>bit wonky. The fact that you know, Jalen High it's

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.679
<v Speaker 1>five yards behind everybody. I'm not really great in those throws.

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Is like, oh wow, great throw by the quarterback. So

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I like Cooker. I think that he's going to be

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>a potential starter down the road. I just don't know

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.280
<v Speaker 1>if the timeline necessarily matches up. So Deuce, I made

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the mistake before we started here because Evan hasn't done

0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 1>these before, and I was explaining how we try to

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 1>keep these a little bit tight. You know, about ten minutes,

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 1>no chance, without question. The quarterback one should have been

0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the shortest. It's not. So we're gonna put a nice

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 1>little bow on on our phone. It will be the shortest.

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Just wait till wide receivers and tight ends. Well that one, well,

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.919
<v Speaker 1>that one's a little bit longer. You know, usually the

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 1>offensive line we should be able to I don't tighten

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit, but that's gonna put a wrap

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:43.400
<v Speaker 1>on our quarterbacks. Edition of our Draft prospect review, will

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 1>we preview the prospects with the twenty twenty three draft.

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.119
