1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Can you ask coach the first question? Geane, please go ahead.

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: Could you just talk a little bit about why you

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: had to you felt like you had to wait this

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: long to get to get a cornerback? Is it just

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: a was was trade up? Trading up not an option

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: in the second round? Just is it just the way

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: the board fell?

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really the way the board fell. I mean

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: we looked at opportunities to trade up in the in

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: the second round and that didn't go our way. And

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: really excited about the player we got. You know, he

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: was someone that we had targeted. We we spent a

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: lot of time with him. We sent a couple of

14
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: coaches to work him out personally on a private workout

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: which went exceptionally well. Uh, you know, he's one hundred

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: percent cleared from the from the knee that he suffered

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: two years ago. And uh, you know again, like like

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: I've always said, you follow your board and you got

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: more than one need. You know, we had a need

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: at that position and we filled it.

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: How much does what he did this past year seemed

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: to be much better as a as a nickel? I mean,

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: how much did that and seems to be better in

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: man coverage as well, how much did that impact your

25
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: decision to take a guy that quite frankly, a lot

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: of other people didn't have as highly rated.

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: Well, again, I don't know how other people rate the players,

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, and where he was on everybody's board. I

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: just know he's a good football player. You know. We

30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with him when he came

31
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: in for the local pro day and hung out with

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: the coaches, stayed, stayed extra, spent a couple hours with him,

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, and sat down with them personally. Coach I know,

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: sat down with him. You know. He's a young guy

35
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: that converted wide receiver learning the cornerback position, and he showed,

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, through the course of the year, especially as

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: the year went on, that he has a real knack

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: for it and he can play inside and outside. He's

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: not just a nickel. He's five to eleven and change.

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: He's one hundred night andy plus pollens. He runs four

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: three nine. He can play outside and inside, but he

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: happened to play primarily inside. There.

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 3: What is it about Mason Smith that you loved?

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 4: Six five six five, real five big guy, you know,

45
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: just again, another player that that is explosive, can move

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: his lateral quickness. You know, you just watch his tape

47
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 4: and you see him, you know, chasing chasing some ball

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 4: carriers down. He can hold the point of attack. He's

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 4: a he's a space eater in there. He can push

50
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: the interior of the pocket. He's long, obviously, you know,

51
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 4: and and obviously he had the injury, but I think

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: prior to the injury, he's a you know, he was

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 4: talked about going you know, possibly in one, you know,

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 4: and things of that nature. So I feel like we've

55
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: got a really good player there obviously, and looking forward

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: to getting both these guys here how much.

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I know, obviously he's a big dude, but

58
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 5: is there.

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 6: Some stuff there?

60
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: I think there's some things you can develop, you know,

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: with his athletics, and it's his power, you know, and

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: and just being able to just push the pocket and

63
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: just you know, sometimes you don't have to hit the

64
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: quarterback as much as just disrupt and and and get

65
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: him off his spot. And then that's what he's capable

66
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: of doing.

67
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: On the edge to a little bit or.

68
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: Just well, I mean, not like Josh Allen, but yeah, no,

69
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: you're not like that. I mean, obviously we got the

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 4: edge kind of covered. But uh, you know right now,

71
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: just would we would keep him at one position, you know,

72
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: and and and see if see where where he plugs

73
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: in and and and look he's he is coming off

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: the entry to and and you know, he did play.

75
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: So there's gonna be some a little bit of a

76
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: little bit of growing with him, you know, as we

77
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: as we get him, you know, mixed in with our players.

78
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: How much did Matt House and Ryan Nielsen and even

79
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: Garrett I think how much did they play in in

80
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: in him coming here.

81
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 7: Having guys on staff who know him knowing.

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 6: Pretty well, Oh it helps, Yeah, yeah, I mean that's

83
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 6: obviously Matt was the decordinator there for two years and

84
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 6: understands him well, spoke very highly of him, you know,

85
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 6: his football, his passion for the game and stuff, and

86
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 6: we got to realize.

87
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's coming off that. But he did play

88
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: this year, and as the end as he got to

89
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: the end of the tape, you know, he was he

90
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: was probably ninety percent by the time the end of

91
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: the year came around, and one hundred percent when we

92
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: went and worked him out. You know, he's running full speed.

93
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: There's no there's no lingering issues, you know, he's a

94
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: young man that's you know, got to have a little

95
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: more time on task, but he's his upside substantial.

96
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: I think Mason said he felt like it was uncommon

97
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: favor that let him here, and he talked about how

98
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: the when he got the phone call, his heart hunter

99
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: drop because he just felt like this was a perfect thing.

100
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: When you guys, hear a guy that on night one

101
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: is that ready to go and it's so ready to

102
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: play for this organization just doesn't mean to you both.

103
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: Well, it means a lot. You know, you hope they

104
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: have a great experience, whether we meet him here, you know,

105
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: on one of the thirty visits, or at the Combine

106
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: or wherever. You hope you present the organization well, and

107
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: you hope they they they see that, you know, they

108
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: see the passion that we have for this organization and

109
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: the jobs that we do. And you hope they understand that,

110
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: see that, feel that and want to be a part

111
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: of it.

112
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: How much you can help a guy like Mason coming

113
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 3: into a room with veterans like Eric and Roy.

114
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 4: And all those guys, I think it's huge. I think

115
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 4: it's huge, you know, to have guys that have been there,

116
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: done that you know, have battled a diversity themselves, you know,

117
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 4: the course of their careers, and it's a really good room.

118
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 4: There's some great leaders in there, and he's coming into

119
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 4: that room and and he can just soak up all

120
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: that knowledge and just learn from those guys you mentioned.

121
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: Ear the first thing you mentioned about when Mason's name

122
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: was brought up and started with the sis factor, and

123
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: Trent made it clear at the season ending press conference

124
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: about how much you wanted to get more physical inside.

125
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: How much of taking Mason was really about that.

126
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: That's part of it. You know, you definitely have to

127
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 4: control the line of scrimmage, both sides of the ball,

128
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 4: offense and defensive lines. And and obviously we feel that

129
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 4: adding Mason to that, to that room, you know, gets

130
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 4: us to that point where we can control, you know,

131
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. And and you have to be physical.

132
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a physical position as a you know,

133
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 4: uh anyway, and and you know, again a guy that

134
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: that is that is big, powerful athletic as he is.

135
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's just a great addition to to an

136
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: already good room.

137
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: You can kind of walk through the process with Jerry

138
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: and a little bit more how you guys identify him

139
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: and if you believe he is a club and play

140
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: guy that could play, we won well. We identified him

141
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: early on in the process. I mean, we had the

142
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: scouts in there, you know, during the fall of the year,

143
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: identified him as a as a prospect and upper level prospect,

144
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: and then you go through the whole process with him.

145
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: You know, you go through the pro days and in

146
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: the combine and all the things that go with at

147
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: the thirty visits. He wasn't one of the thirty visits

148
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: because he came here on the local pro day, so

149
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: we got a chance to spend a lot of time

150
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: with him. You know, you love his energy. You know

151
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel it. We just got off a zoom

152
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: call with him. You'll feel his energy as soon as

153
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: he gets here. He loves football, you know, and you

154
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: can't have enough of those guys. The game's hard, and

155
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: you know guys that just just like it, struggle when

156
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: things get tough. When guys love it, they fight through adversity.

157
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: And he's a young man that's had a lot of

158
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: adversity in his life, will continue to fight through it.

159
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: And you just love the passion. You evaluated the quarterback

160
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: class have you found yourself maybe looking at this class.

161
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned the flavors.

162
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 5: Have you been looking at it through a different lensdowing

163
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 5: that Ryan is the defense for Mayor and the style

164
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 5: defense and wants.

165
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryan and Chris and Corey, they've played a big

166
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: role in the evaluation of these guys, you know. And

167
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: the board fell pretty true to what he felt that

168
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: was gonna fall, you know. And I never worry about

169
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: the players we didn't get. You know, you can spend

170
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: hours and hours thinking through all the things you could

171
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: have done or but you worry about the ones you

172
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: got because that's the most important thing. And we're excited

173
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: about these three guys that we've added up to, you know.

174
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: And then we got a big day tomorrow to add

175
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: some more guys to this locker room leadership.

176
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

177
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: Jones won the Leadership Award at FSU.

178
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: How much of the person he is off the field

179
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 3: ways into bringing the guy in with a pick.

180
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: Well again, I think, you know, I'll let you all

181
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: judge for yourself when he gets here. The energy that

182
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: he has and just just the way he approaches the game.

183
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a this is a loved guy

184
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: and he's gonna bring to bring the energy on a

185
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: daily basis, you know. And you'd rather have those guys

186
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: that you got to say whoa and pull them back

187
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: a little bit sometimes rather than always have to kick

188
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: them in the side. And he's one of those guys

189
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: that you're never gonna have to worry about coming to

190
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: work work.

191
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: Was there some concern on your I'm sorry, let's go.

192
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 5: Mason has obviously incredible length, arm, wingspan, uh private, best

193
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 5: of all the defensive tackles in the draft. How important

194
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 5: is that when you evaluate a player and does he

195
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 5: use that well when you watch him on film? How

196
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 5: much of a challenge cannot be for the opponent?

197
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he certainly does, and to me, it's

198
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: a huge advantage, especially if they use it. And he's

199
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: a young man that uses it. You know. When I

200
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: was in San Francisco, we drafted Buckner and Armstead, both

201
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: taller interior players. You know, we studied Chris Jones, one

202
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: of the better interior players in the league right now.

203
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: And with that kind of size and that kind of length,

204
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying this guy is going to be

205
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: any of those three, you know, but he certainly has

206
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: a chance to be a very good football player. So

207
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: I think all those traits played play to his advantage.

208
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Now you've got to take advantage of it and use

209
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: him a couple more.

210
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 7: When when four cornerbacks went off the board in succession

211
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 7: fairly early in the second round, did you sort of

212
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 7: just kind of was kind of hoping that that wasn't

213
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 7: going to happen, or did you fully expect there was

214
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 7: going to be a run before you get to forty eight.

215
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: Well, if you look historically at the draft in the

216
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: second round, there's a run and on corners usually, you know,

217
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: and when they start coming, they come off quick, you know.

218
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: So it wasn't something that was not expected, you know.

219
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: And again you try to you look at things, you

220
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: try to move. Sometimes you can move, sometimes you can't.

221
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Houston obviously wasn't going to trade their pick, you know.

222
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: See you just again, the board is the board, you know.

223
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: And we feel really good about the players we got

224
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: and Jerrying the addition to Jerrian, we feel very strong

225
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: you can come in here and compete and help fairly

226
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: early on.

227
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: You've said before that sometimes you've got to get lucky

228
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: in the draft. Was that it did you feel that

229
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: was an instance where you got maybe a little bit unlucky.

230
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: No, no, again, you know, we had Mason targeted as well,

231
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: and you know you can't, you can't. We have a

232
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: need there as well. You know, it's not like we

233
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: didn't have other needs other than corners. You know, you know,

234
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: we got another another day in this draft, you know,

235
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: with I think what we got five or six picks left.

236
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what the number is, but uh,

237
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: you know there's there's a lot of guys left on

238
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: the board that can help us.

239
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 5: Where do you envision Jerry and starting day one?

240
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: I see him. You know, he is definitely a position

241
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 4: fke sky. I could see him playing inside you know,

242
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 4: day one. He's also a really good special teams player,

243
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: so he's gonna give us value there as well.

244
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: You would want to stick to one position to start with,

245
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: similar to Mason, or would you move him around?

246
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 4: You know, it depends on sometimes the player too, you know.

247
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 4: We we we target a position and we say, hey,

248
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: let's learn this position. Let's get good at this position.

249
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: As they grow and develop, then you can you know,

250
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 4: then you can maybe use him another in other spots,

251
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 4: and he's you know, so getting him in here. You know,

252
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 4: two weeks from now, when we have our our rookie

253
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: uh mini camp, right in a couple of weeks, you know,

254
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 4: then we can really start honing in and getting him

255
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: locked in in one position. Plus again the special teams factor, right,

256
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 4: so we add that to him as well and and

257
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: let him let him work from there.

258
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: He had one of the better combines I think for

259
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: for a quarterback.

260
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 7: How much does the traits that you saw in that,

261
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 7: you know, sort of stand out our team?

262
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 4: I mean it shows up on film, you know, that's

263
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 4: one one of the things. He's a he's a he's

264
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: a good athlete, good mover, a physical player too, you

265
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: know which which you like? You like to see the

266
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 4: tackling and getting after guys, and and as Trent mentioned,

267
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 4: he's he's a high a high energy guy. You know,

268
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: just tonight he's emotional and he's high energy, and he's

269
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 4: excited to get here.
