Here we go. Welcome 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, Jags drive Time. Cloudy, rainy, or you can 5 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: see for yourself. It's one of those days. It looks 6 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: like we're gonna be in it all day long, so 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: try to keep a smile on your face. Welcome Jack's 8 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: drive Time. Uh. Brian Sexton along with John Osier and 9 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: Ashlyn Sullivan. And Ashlyn liked sitting here at the desk 10 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: so much that she decided she was just gonna join 11 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: us from now on here. I like being close to John. 12 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: I get you know. For a minute there he was 13 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: hesitant about the idea, and then you mentioned being close 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: to John, and then he kind of understood. He doesn't 15 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: have as much for him to flap his arms and such, 16 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: but he'll be okay. Well, it is a raining in Jackson. 17 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: How are you guys this morning? Great? God keeping smiles 18 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: on faces. This still feels like an off season week. 19 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: Next week is shaping up like it's not going to 20 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: be an off season week. There was a lot on 21 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: the docket for next week. It starts with Paulpa's Lesnie's 22 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: retirement ceremony. Uh. Then there's the big state of the 23 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: franchise with a uniform unveiling, and we anticipate the schedule 24 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: to come sometime next week. I mean, all of a sudden, 25 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: these quiet, sort of lazy days of the off season 26 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: are slipping away well, and from media standpoint, I believe 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: the is the opening of the off season program. I 28 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: believe we're getting one of my reasons on Tuesday, and 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: on Friday is the draft if it's a luncheon but availability, 30 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: so yeah, it's it's the regular season, or it's the 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: it's the off season busiest week. And then the week 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: after that is the draft, and then O T A 33 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: s too follow So I guess getting to the end 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: of January made the offseason seem even shorter. All right, 35 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: how it is time for big things? What are you selling? 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: You don't want to work? So I'm ready, I'm ready away. 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: I have to get used at this. I'm normally here 38 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: right and now I have to go here. It's what 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: a professional has to do, and I will somehow endure it. 40 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: But it's time for big things and Ashlyn Sullivan is 41 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: right over here instead of right over there. We'll get 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: through hi big thing. Number one, heavy on the quarterbacks. 43 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: Recent moth drafts have almost six quarterbacks going in the 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: first round. That means a lot of talented players will 45 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: be pushed down a number twenty nine, not number twenty nine. 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: Of one of those six is there? Do you take them? Well, 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: here's the big picture on this one, John. If you 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: look at four quarterbacks going in the top ten, right, 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: then that that means that the Packers at number fourteen 50 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: have a top ten pick excluding quarterback. Right. I mean 51 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback position is going to change the dynamic of 52 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: the first round because you've got Lamar Jackson and now 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: people are talking abou Mason Rudolph, you know, the quarterback 54 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: from Oklahoma State being a first round guy. Guy who 55 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: could go anywhere from you know, fifteen at Arizona on 56 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: down to the end of the first round. So that's 57 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: six guys, non quarterbacks that are going to be pushed 58 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: down the board. One of those might be a guy 59 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: that Jaguars really like and didn't know that he would 60 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: be close to them. The other could be a guy 61 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: that someone else really likes and thinks I'm gonna jump 62 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: back into the first round and see if I can't 63 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: get him at nine. Well, and I think that's the point. Um. 64 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't think the answer to with the Jaguars take 65 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback if he felt the number twenty nine is 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: necessarily a yes, But if it's the right quarterback, if 67 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: the guy that they think is one of the top 68 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: two or three players in the draft and is an 69 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: all the time. Um. But I don't think they're at 70 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: all in a situation where they take any quarterback. I 71 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: don't think they will take a quarterback because I can't 72 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: imagine one of the top two or three guys, the 73 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: true prototypes, the true can't mess that they would just 74 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: fall in love with with slides. So I think the 75 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: more likely scenario is that their draft is dramatically affected 76 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: by the fact that there could be I think it's 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: more likely five ahead of them. I don't think Rudolph 78 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: will go that high, but if he does, then all 79 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're right. It means instead of picking 80 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: twenty nine, they're actually picking twenty three out of the 81 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: positions that they would actually come it. Well. I talked 82 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: to a guy yesterday that I trust have known for 83 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: a long time. Who believes that Rudolph will go in 84 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: front of the Jaguars. There are enough teams that like 85 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: him and think that they need a quarterback that he'll go. 86 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: But regardless, five quarterbacks is enough that it could create 87 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: depending on who goes where, you could see a flurry 88 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: of trades. And what what this area was just playing 89 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: to me was was that teams who want a quarterback 90 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: and there are a couple of them sitting in that range, 91 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: are going to feel the heat and want to get 92 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: a guy. And so you're gonna see teams vaulting and 93 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: talking about getting up in front of Buffalo at eleven 94 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: or it was Owner at fifteen, or whomever it might be. 95 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: It could create a firestorm of trades. Now we say 96 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: that all the time, there'll be a lot of trades, 97 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: and then that doesn't always happen. But her quarterback, if 98 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, it's easily gonna happen for quarterback. Uh. 99 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: And if chaos are gonna happen in the first rounds, 100 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: easily gonna happen for quarterback. And again, I think you've 101 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: got a combination of at least five guys who are 102 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: worth coveting, and you have a lot of teams this 103 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: year who actually covered them. When Aaron Rodgers slid, remember, 104 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: a big issue was, well, one team needed a quarterback, 105 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you got to arrange 106 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: where you knew he was gonna slide because there weren't 107 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: a lot of teams who were quote seeking quarterbacks. So 108 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: it's a lot less apt to have a long slide 109 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: this year. I believe it's just interesting that you say 110 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: five quarterbacks that teams are covering. Is anybody covering Lamar Jackson? Well, 111 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: somebody's going to do you think so? I mean if 112 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: he goes in the first round, somebody covering, Well, okay, 113 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: I mean I guess that's that. Maybe that's the very 114 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: definition of covering that you but the quarter the cover back, 115 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: the quarter cover You got me twisted quarterbacks in the 116 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: first round. You can use the fifth year option on right. 117 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: So that's why teams would take a guy like Lamar 118 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: Jackson maybe if they thought he belonged to nine instead 119 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: of taking him in the second round, because you get 120 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: that fifth year leverage towards the position. I just wonder 121 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: if there are enough teams that think, wow, I've got 122 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: to have Lamar Jackson or if he's a guy that, 123 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: outside of the fact that he's a quarterback, would sit 124 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: at the top of the second round instead. You see 125 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I don't know that there's enough questions 126 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: about him. I don't know does anyone covered him well, 127 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean he put butts some seats, that's for sure. 128 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: He's an exciting player to watch. Well, if you think 129 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: that a guy that throws a lot of interceptions right 130 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: in his first year is because rookie quarterbacks, he's going 131 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: to go in the first round. Uh, he's gonna take 132 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: the first round pick, the round pick. Uh. Yeah, I 133 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: think he'll go before the Jaguars select. And I'm not 134 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: trying to suggest that the Jaguars would select him. If 135 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: there's the four guys that no one questions, and then 136 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: there's Lamar Jackson and seems like he could go anywhere 137 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: from eleven to thirty two, and I think Rudolph could 138 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: go anywhere from twenty to somewhere in the second. So 139 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: we'll see. Well, it's gonna be an interesting first round. 140 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: It always is because of the quarterbacks, as you mentioned, 141 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: and then there's another position group that you might see 142 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,239 Speaker 1: in that's offensive linement. That's the next group that could 143 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: start a run, because as we've talked about, there's only 144 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: thirty three that were drafted last year, thirty three in 145 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: the entire draft. There at a premium, and there's a 146 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: number of dynamic of guys getting pushed up. When we 147 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: first started doing mock drafts in February, Uh, Mike mcglinchley, 148 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: for example, was a guy that you saw mock to 149 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: the Jaguars at twenty nine. Now all of a sudden 150 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: you're seeing him eight fift somewhere in there, which I 151 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: don't think. I think that is a example of a 152 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: guy being pushed up. I don't know that he's necessarily 153 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: a quote top ten pick, but the need for that 154 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: position is very great. Well, it's also pushing other guys 155 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: up the board. To the Colton Miller kid from u 156 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: C l A, the Brian O'Neil kid from Pitt the 157 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: converted tight end are both guys who are on the 158 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: fringes now of the first round. Sitting there between you know, 159 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: twenty eight and thirty two. There's some guards. Will Hernandez 160 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: from UTEP, Billy Price who heard himself at the combine. Yeah, 161 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, so you're seeing Quinton Nelson obviously 162 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: is very very very high in this thing, but you're 163 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: gonna see offensive linemen and quarterbacks that I think we'll 164 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: create an interesting dynamic in the first round. And I 165 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: think the jack always go offensive line. Yeah, I think 166 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: that makes the most sense for this team. Although I'm 167 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: a best available player guy.

Brian Sex to John Oz, 194 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,599 Speaker 1: you're Ashland Sullivan here, quiet before the storm. As we 195 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: mentioned off the top, But busy week next week, not 196 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: the least of which is the start of the off 197 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: season program which takes us a big thing Number two 198 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: one to watch. We all picked one player that we're 199 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: intrigued and interested to see entered this building. Players will 200 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: enter this building on Monday. My player that I'm excited 201 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: to watch is austin Severian Jenkins so excited on Twitter 202 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: to be coming to Jacksonville, especially with the departure Marcedes Louis. 203 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him getting this building and see 204 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: if he'll get that tight end number one spot. For sure, 205 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: Austafarian Jenkins is my guy. Well, they're paying him to 206 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: be that guy, so you better get that. I'm interested 207 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: in him because when they cut Mercedes, they were taking 208 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: a guy who they counted on to seal the edge 209 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: in the running game. If you go back and look 210 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: at the nineteen yard touchdown run in Pittsburgh in the 211 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: playoffs that Leonard had, you can see Bud Dupree just 212 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: be pushed out of the picture by Mercedes. That's something 213 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: they've counted on around here. And I asked Dave called, well, 214 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: he said he's two d seventy pounds he can block. 215 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: So I just watching him last year in New York 216 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: when we played the Jets, I didn't see two seventy. 217 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see him when he gets back. Absolutely 218 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: exciting guy to watch, that's for sure. What do you think? 219 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: What sure? Why not? Yeah? I mean I think what 220 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: they absolutely need in the position if he can give 221 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: them if Mercedes was a seven, which I don't think 222 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: he was a ten anymore by the time he left 223 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: in terms of run blos. But if Mercedes was a 224 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: six or seven, if Safari and Jenkins can give them 225 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: a four or five and get close and give them 226 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: some sort of edge in the passing game. Uh, it's 227 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: important for every quarterback. I think it's really important for 228 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: Blake Bortles, and it's if he can give them anything 229 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: in that in that area, it would be a huge 230 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: boost because the Jaguar you know, it has been a 231 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: dry area for the Jaguars for too long. So if 232 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: they can get anything out of it, if they can 233 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: get a twenty two yard game in the middle of 234 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: the game that they weren't getting before, goodness, what does 235 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: that open up? And I think that's a really big 236 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: thing that there I was a counting on them to bring. 237 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: I wonder I still like what you threw out there 238 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: three or four weeks ago of drafting somebody and going 239 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: full board to receiving tight ends, like the Pager's still 240 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: very intriguing to me. Uh, Usually things you say aren't, 241 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: but that one is. And I'm kidding, but that one 242 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: is stuck with me because there's an element where you think, 243 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: if they're gonna go this route, do you draft aligneman, 244 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: draft a tight end, and draft a running back and 245 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: go really full board to this idea. We're gonna use 246 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: the tight ends, We're gonna use the running backs, and 247 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: this is gonna be our offense, and the wider c 248 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: vers are going to be supplemental rather than the main 249 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: part of the offense. Well in conjection with the running game, 250 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: especially if you go back and I did this week 251 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: and look at the Patriots in two thousand and eleven, 252 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: two thousand and ten, they drafted Gronkowski in the second 253 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: round and Aaron Hernandez from Florida in the fourth round 254 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eleven, so their second year together, 255 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: which should have been the epic tight end draft of 256 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: all time because Aaron Hernandez, despite everything else, was really good. 257 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: He was a tremendous player. Tremendous player. Um they combined, 258 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: Gronkowski had ninety catches in two thousand and eleven, Hernandez 259 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: had seventy three. That's a hundred and sixty three. That's 260 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith, Keen and McCardell territory, right, So It makes 261 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: sense to me because Marone and Belichick think alike many 262 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: in many respects they do. And if you have a 263 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: quarterback whose deep accuracy isn't a strong suit, which the 264 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: Jaguars do, and yet the underneath stuff and the play action, 265 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: which it is. But I think it could be a 266 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: winning town. And there are some good tight end that 267 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: will be sitting there at twenty nine, and probably there'll 268 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: be a good one at sixty one also, But I mean, 269 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: I don't rank the players, so we'll let them decide 270 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: where the guy fits. But I just have this hunch 271 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: that that New England offense, which if you go back 272 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: and look again at that season eleven, they were very 273 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: difficult to match up with. It's a little dicey to 274 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: think that they would do it immediately, only because tight 275 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: end can be a tough position to transition to and 276 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: that's the one thing that sort of keeps you out 277 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: of it. But it didn't take long for them to 278 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: get that thing up and running. And uh, of course 279 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: they had a quarterback named Brady, So it's never hard 280 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: when you got a guy like that, for sure. Um, 281 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: how about you who you interested in looking at? Well, 282 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's uh I stay away from Wineman when 283 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking about O t A s because the obvious 284 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: one is say Andrew Norwell, but what are you really 285 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: going to see? Uh? I would say Dante Moncrief and 286 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: the rest of the receiving corps. How that's going to 287 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: play out. That's something you can watch in the off 288 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: seasons and something you can watch no T A S. 289 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: Can he bring an element of what they lacked last 290 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: year in terms of big play down field? Can he 291 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: be a viable replaced from Fallen Robinson? And then just 292 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: sort of overall, how it's all going to fit together? 293 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: I think markis Lee, Healing, Cole d d Westbrook, Dante Moncrief, 294 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: how that's going to play out? Where these guys fit. 295 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: You get the feeling that it's going to be a 296 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: very split rotation between those four guys. But how it's 297 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: gonna play I think it's it's intriguing for this offense. 298 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: I will go with Cam Robinson and I get it. 299 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you really you can't see a lot from 300 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: the big guys until the pads go on. So how 301 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: do I say this kindly? He's this great, big kid, 302 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: great player at Alabama, but still in a big kid's body. Um, 303 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: they didn't have the time in Alabama in College Bowl 304 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: to build him up like they are doing right now 305 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: with Tom miss Linsky, and that strengths draft. Um. I'm 306 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: really interested to see what he looks like when he 307 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: gets a full year. So not really in terms of 308 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, how he's pushing guys off the line of scrimmage, 309 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: but if they can take especially his upper body, if 310 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: they can take it and really use and maximize the time. 311 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: Well one, right, Yeah, he's a young kid, so there's 312 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: a lot of man's strength that comes about in an 313 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: offensive lineman that young as they grow from twenty I 314 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: expect that to happen for him. Good player, played well, um, 315 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: but always looked at him and thought, all right, let's 316 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: see what you got in two years when Tom and 317 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: his crew down in the weight room have had more 318 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: time to work with you. So we'll see back to you, 319 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: Ashley for big thing three. We're looking at players again, 320 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: this time to the college kids or at least positions. Yes, 321 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: we're draft digging here, so first and second round all exciting. 322 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: We're looking way deep into the third round here. Not 323 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: with me, I think it's depth, especially with the defense. 324 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: Maybe linebacker there. I think you're really looking at building 325 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: depth on that job. Start. Um, I don't spend that 326 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: much time looking beyond one and two because it's so 327 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: tough to names. They're going to do names are My 328 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: guess is they go. You know, it's gonna depend on 329 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: what they do. And in in one and two I 330 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: think they're gonna go offensive line and tight end early, 331 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: So that's where you might see linebacker. Uh, it makes 332 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: sense because they need depth there. I agree with Ashton 333 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: that death will be the key, and I do think 334 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: they're gonna want to try to find at least one 335 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: special teams guy out of that third and fourth. So 336 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: I think somewhere in that third and fourth there's going 337 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: to be a secondary player or a linebacker that is 338 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: expected to be involved at least somewhat in the rotation 339 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: by the end of the season. Yeah. See, I mean 340 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: I didn't want to get names specific necessarily here because 341 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, we don't go to the depth 342 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: like these guys do. I I could throw out DeShawn Elliott, 343 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: the safety from Texas right or Tim Settle, the defensive 344 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: tackle from Virginia Tech. And I only know it because 345 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: I've done some time on it, but that I don't 346 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: go any deeper than that. But position wise, I look 347 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: at safety because you look at the two safeties the 348 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: Jaguars have. Both of them are now getting older, obviously, 349 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: both of them were undrafted rookie free agents, and both 350 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: of them started on arguably the best defensive football last year. 351 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: So safety is a position where in the later rounds 352 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: and in an undrafted free agency, they should be able 353 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: to start looking for these guys replacements and find good 354 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: young players, whether they leave after next season or the 355 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: year after whenever. But developed these guys behind Barry Church 356 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: and to Shaun Gibson, the end of the first the 357 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: end of the third day, and the start of rookie 358 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: free agency should be fertile ground for a position like safety. 359 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: And those are guys who contribute on special All right, 360 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: we'll take a break when we come back here right here, Okay, 361 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: when we come back, we got this little thing we're 362 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: working on.

You might even call little sinister 395 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: your sinister guy. Um wait, we're used to the whole 396 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: ozone thing, right, I mean we do it shamelessly at times. 397 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: But when you were gone two weeks ago, he really 398 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: wasn't the ozone because you weren't with us. So we 399 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: tried something different. We called it the Sullivan Oshan Sexton 400 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: Zone because we were answering the question. Really a lot 401 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,719 Speaker 1: of feedback on it amazing, amazing, Yeah, I mean at 402 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: least from the people that matters, which was actually right, 403 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 1: So we changed it up a little bit. Okay, are 404 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: you okay? Are you upset? All right? We knew we 405 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: could count on that. Um, so actually is going to 406 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: ask the first question and then she might answer it. Okay, 407 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. We will good. Thanks, thanks 408 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: for your approval. All right, Chris, I'm worried that there's 409 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: a smoke screen effort by the Jackson make everyone think 410 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: we won't draft quarterback in round one when I was 411 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: their hope and plan. Now knowing Dug Maron, I don't 412 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: think he is doing any smoke screens. I think he 413 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: would tell it how it is and there's no plan 414 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: behind that. Well, I don't think they would say. Um, 415 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: it's always funny to talk about smoke screens in the 416 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: draft because there's sort of this perception that if something's 417 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: out there, which is basically all analytics from the outside, 418 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: that is the team sending out smoke signals. Um. The 419 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: only smoke signal that you see is the fact that 420 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: every time they've talked about anything, they say that Blake 421 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: boys of their quarterback, and everybody I've talked to said, 422 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: there's very little chance that they're going to draft a 423 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: quarterback to compete with Blake or give any sort of 424 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: a semblance of uh, you know, this guy is here 425 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: to take his job. So, um, no, I don't think 426 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: this guy has to worry about smokescreen. You know, the 427 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: beautiful things about smoke screen is that now that teams 428 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: don't have to send them out, there's enough of this, 429 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: there's enough talking and tweeting, and there's enough social media 430 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: that teams can just sit back and say nothing. They 431 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about letting the packers know, for instance, 432 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: that the Jaguars are interested in the tight end or 433 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: I mean, those games used to be played because there 434 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: was no viable means by which teams could have a 435 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: little bit of disconnect, right. Um. Nowadays they just sit 436 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: and shut up and let it happen. Here's the thing. 437 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: You may have said this just because we think it 438 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. Right, we can say, look, this is 439 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: the best tight end on the board. Hayton Hurst is 440 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: absolutely a first round pick. They should take him. And 441 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: they may say we have a third round grade on 442 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: the guy. Right, we don't know what their grades are neither, 443 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: by the way to the Dame Bruglers and the Matt 444 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: Miller's and and those you know, um guys at ESPN um, 445 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: they don't know. They don't So the smokescreen thing doesn't 446 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: have the same meeting that it wants. Did right, They're 447 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: not taking a quarterback in the first round. I would 448 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: be stunned if they did. Stunned. Well, there you go, Chris, 449 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: All right, let's go Tarry from Jacksonville. Did the Jags 450 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: address their needs and free agency? If so, best available 451 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: receiver or titan should be the choice? Who would you pick? Brian? 452 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: I talked about this about these kind of questions should 453 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: be the choice? Yeah, well, and it's nice that the 454 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: reader feels so passionately, but I don't know that that 455 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: should be the pick. Um. I don't know. I believe 456 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: it will be if if I'm putting percentages on it, 457 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: I think offensive line in the first round. Um. Again, 458 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: when you say that, they may get to the point 459 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: where when it drops and plays out and they're at 460 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: twenty nine, you don't want to take an offensive lineman. 461 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,719 Speaker 1: If you're the GM, you want to take the right 462 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. If the right offensive lineman is not there, 463 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: then you have to have other options to come off 464 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: the position. But when you're looking at it for the draft, 465 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: you don't know how it's gonna slide. So I think 466 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: the percentage chance would probably go tight end, I mean 467 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: offensive line, and then probably tight end and then receiver. 468 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: But if they've got a guy ranked number seven, he's 469 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: a pass rushing defensive end, all of a sudden he slides, well, 470 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna take that guy, and then it doesn't matter 471 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: what Johnny's percentage. I'm totally with you on that and 472 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: that I made the point last week best available player, 473 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: when don't you need the best available player If it 474 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: happens to be one of those guys those offensive lineman 475 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: that is sitting there and it's an offensive lineman and 476 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: they have the same grade the tight end of receiver, 477 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: I take the offensive lineman because of positional value. However, 478 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: if the best available player, if Dron Payne, the defensive 479 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: tackle from Alabama, slides, you're going to have a need 480 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: because you have two very highly paid guys and you 481 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: don't want to damage your salary cap for the long term. 482 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: You better have some young guys behind Malie Jackson and 483 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: Marcel Darius after this season, and you don't know necessarily 484 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: if Michael Bennett's that guy, right, So if you have 485 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: a highly ranked player that slides down the board, even 486 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: though the perception is when I've got to go offense. Uh, 487 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: you don't pass on a guy you have ranked way 488 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: up here to take a guy you have way down 489 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: here because you need it. You take the best available player, 490 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: and you adjust in other places around the draft. So 491 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put anything past them other than quarterback. I 492 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: don't see quarterback anything else, and I don't see running 493 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: back at twenty nine either. Anything else though, I would 494 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: say is on the table. Fair game, all right? Last one, 495 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: Brandon Asheville, North Carolina. Do you think Healing Cole, indeed 496 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: Westbrook can have a similar impact the A and Bros 497 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: didn't when they both had over one thousand yards receiving 498 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: in their sophomore year. I think yes. When you look 499 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: at how much Healing Cole improved us in his first year, 500 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: it was drastic. It's not given another year maybe so UM, 501 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: I think no, because I don't think you're gonna have UM. 502 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: I think they'd be throwing the tight ends. Well, yeah, 503 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: I will keep them from being able to reach that 504 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: thousand member. Allen Robins had fourteen touchdowns four hundred yards. 505 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: Now the numbers are going to be skewed because I 506 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna pass enough to get to those numbers. 507 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: But even the impact, I think Westbrook and Cole will 508 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: have a tough time making the impact that Hearns and 509 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: Robinson did because those guys were starting well in terms 510 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: of numbers. Right, Okay, yeah, you're right, You're right. I 511 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: think the receivers as a whole could but Healing Cole, 512 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: Indeedy Westbrook right now, I don't think we'll be starting 513 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: except in case of injury. Um So I think they'll 514 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: have a tough time. I think they will have an impact. 515 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: I think they can have a significant impact, but I 516 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: don't think they will be the frontline receivers who are 517 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: the star who are the fantasy football guys that those 518 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: guys weren't agree The one thing they bring that neither 519 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: Alan had was explosive speed. Both of those guys have 520 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: the ability to get up the field in a hurry, 521 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: so we could see some big plays, some explosive place. 522 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: But I'm with you, John, I don't see either one 523 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: of them having a thousand yards receiving. But if you're 524 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: doing this height end things we're talking about, you don't 525 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: need that. No, And I, just like I said, I 526 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: had this hunch at the tight end we saw the 527 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: way that Nathaniel Hackett put the game plan together for 528 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: the Steelers game in the playoffs. I mean it was 529 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 1: the short underneath, the short underneath stuff that dump off 530 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: to koyak Um and they took their shot right to 531 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: Helan Cole. I think that game showed us the way 532 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: they want to play offense, and and it it worked. 533 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: It played to Blake strength, It played to the running game, 534 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: which played to the defense, which is your you know, 535 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: your trump card. So I I see that tight end 536 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: being an important position first or second pick for sure, 537 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: because it gives you more options for the underneath stuff 538 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: that Blake does so well. Here's how much they would 539 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: like to use it. Mercedes Lewis played here twelve years 540 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: and had a great career or a very very good 541 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: career here. I don't think you would say in his 542 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: last couple of years that he was a dynamic receiving 543 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: tight end. They schemed enough last year to get him 544 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Ah, that was a very high number considering 545 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: that he was not a great receiving tight end anymore. 546 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: If if you have a couple of players who are 547 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: better at getting open and more dynamic receiving tight ends, 548 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: I think you'll see that number for the tight end 549 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: spot go up significantly as you go forward. So for 550 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: a quiet day, but we ran over lost the set. 551 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: You like sitting there, yink? Alright, folks, for these two, 552 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: For Joe, for Max Honkman, thanks for joining us at 553 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time.
