Speaker 1: This is your NFL Draft special edition of the Minnesota

Speaker 1: Vikings Podcast. I'm Tatum Everett. We've got Gabe Henderson, We've

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: got Ron Johnson, and I'm really excited to have you

9
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: two on board because the why because you guys are

10
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: former wide receivers and the Vikings with the number twenty

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: three pick and the twenty twenty three draft, go Jordan Addison.

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: What was your initial thoughts, Gabe.

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: It's the Jordan year number twenty three.

14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: Hellover right, twenty three and twenty three.

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: It makes sense. And Jordan Addison was a guy that

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: I know, I hate people people say banging the table

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: for it, but like he was a guy that I

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: was banging the table for about two months ago. I'm like,

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 3: this is a guy who has a doctorate in running routes,

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: he has a doctor in pass catching, like he under

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: I mean, look at it. I mean, he was the

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: best receiver in college football two years ago, and I

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: thought he was going to be able. I thought he

24
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: was gonna be like a top fifteen guy that we

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: couldn't get to the fact that he slipped to twenty three.

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: This is a guy that can pretty much do whatever

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: you need him to do, take the pressure off of

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson, but also add an element in the return

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: game if we use him as a punt returner. This

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: is this is a home run win for this Minnesota

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: Vikings team.

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had.

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: Mixed emotions because I wanted a cornerback in that position,

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 4: But as I thought about it, and even Gay pointed

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: that out being a top fifteen guy because he was,

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: I mean, he was a blitankof winner hunter catch guy

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: fifteen sixteen hundred yards, seventeen touchdowns, And so when you

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: see that going to USC for his nil money, of

39
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: course people assume at that point he was a top

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 4: ten pick. They thought he was better, you know, right

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: up there with a guy like DeVonta Smith, and they're

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 4: you know, they're throwing all these comparisons out at five

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: to eleven, skinny frame, but can run. You think about

44
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: all the other receivers in his type of draft rangs

45
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson failed down to the twenties. Randy Moss failed

46
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: down to not saying he's Randy Moss. So I don't

47
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: want to be a proposterous statement person, but you know,

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 4: when you think about getting value at that pick, it

49
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: adds another weapon. And I tweeted out why I think

50
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 4: the Vikings did it, and everybody's telling me, oh, what

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: about defense, Like you didn't have a bad defense, Well,

52
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 4: if you can keep the ball longer than the other team,

53
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: that's actually a good defense. And I think that's what

54
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: Kevin O'Connell was thinking, is like, you know what we had,

55
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 4: Adam Thielen, he departed. I'm going to add another weapon

56
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: to Kirk Cousins and then we'll figure out this defense.

57
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 4: Because I think Byron Murphy, for one, is a guy

58
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: Ryan Clark told me there's maspn He's a guy that

59
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 4: can play outside and inside. So I think they have

60
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 4: their nickel and their outside corner figured out. Caleb Evans

61
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: healthy to me at six three, six y four, I

62
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: think he's a starting corner. I think he's a little

63
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: bit stronger than Cam Danceler, and that's probably why they

64
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: part of ways with Cam Danceler.

65
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: Well, I think people and I think this has kind

66
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: of been frustrating for me to listen to as far

67
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: as go go corners, as important as that position is,

68
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: I think people aren't realizing that we did just sign

69
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: Juwan Williams, who is a former second round pick, has

70
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: proven talent but hasn't lived up to his potential. So

71
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: you're getting a second round corner from just a few

72
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: years ago, alongside Biern Raphy, alongside of Calevan's Andrew Booth

73
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: in this you know, unproven secondary so far. But back

74
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: to Jordan Madison, I also loved this pick. I think

75
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: when you watch some of his tape, he reminds me

76
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 1: of a maybe shorter Justin Jefferson at times. He's great

77
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: at route running and who better to learn from than

78
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: the guy that's been reinventing it himself in the league

79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: right now. I think that this could be a great

80
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: top off of the offense. He can go in the middle,

81
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: he can be in the slot. I think that he's

82
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: just so versatile and I am a little surprised actually

83
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: what you guys kept saying, like you know, you know,

84
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: he dropped down he dropped out. Why do you think

85
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: he was, you know, the fourth receiver off the.

86
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: Board because a bunch of offense and defensive linemen were

87
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: valued higher than skill positions this year, I mean running backs,

88
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 3: when all the board before wide receivers, we haven't we

89
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: didn't see a tight end off the board. I just

90
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: believe teams are valuing building inside out and that's the

91
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: reason why why receivers were not as valued as highly.

92
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: I mean we, I mean Ron brought it up early.

93
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: This wide receiver draft felt like a couple of years

94
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: ago when Lawan Treadwell and Josh stockson all three. I think,

95
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: I can't think of the third receiver, but they went

96
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 3: what seventeen eighteen nineteen. I mean it, It's one of

97
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: those years where you just look at it and say,

98
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: look the Vikings, they want a wide receiver. The guy

99
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: they wanted fell down to them and they don't have

100
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: to to I guess overthink it if a guy that

101
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: you really want false to you. So Candice, she just

102
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 3: walked over here and basically showed a text message and said,

103
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: Jordan Addison will be were wearing number three this year,

104
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: so wearing his college number was my number in college

105
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 3: exactly going to get a jersey.

106
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: I gotta get to Jordanadas a jersey. This is what

107
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 4: I say, though, And I think you both pointed this

108
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: out why you dropped. This is why when TJ. Straud

109
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 4: went number two and the Texans did that. I think

110
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 4: it through everybody's draft board. Off Will Anderson. We knew

111
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: he's gonna go high. Anthony Richardson going to the coach.

112
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: I think that started to throw it off. Devin Witherspoon

113
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: being the first cornerback, and then all the dominoes start

114
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: falling from there. And I think this is what it's

115
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 4: about when you think about every year, something happens in

116
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: the draft, a player still in the room or he's

117
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: still in the green room, and everybody's like Aaron Rodgers

118
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: Yere for instance, Everybody's like, Oh, what the heck's going on?

119
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 4: Why is this guy Joey Porter Junior still in the

120
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 4: green room. People are trying to figure this out. So

121
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: whatever rumors come out, whatever, you know, GM start talking

122
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 4: behind the scenes for whatever reason. Jordan Addison, because running

123
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: back was not supposed to be ever in the first

124
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: round this year, people were like, Oh, all the running

125
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: backs gonna be second round picks, Well Jon exactly, Bjon

126
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: went off and then the kid to the Lions. Yeah,

127
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 4: and so you know, I think that's what changes a

128
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: draft where people thought the Lions might get a receiver

129
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: because they're like, well, you got one receiver who's suspended

130
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: for gambling, go get another receiver. And that was what

131
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 4: people thought Dan Campbell might do. Well he didn't. So

132
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: I think Jordan Addison he's right where he should be.

133
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 4: He's gonna have an approven quarterback and Kirk Cousins and

134
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 4: he's gonna have an offensive coordinator, hit coach who wants

135
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: to work the ball down the field. And I mean,

136
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 4: what guy better? Like you said, when you watch his film,

137
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: you watch him in the slot, you watch his corner rows.

138
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: He gets lost because he has the uncanny way of

139
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 4: finding that blind spot of a defender, and I like

140
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: the way he moves within that scheme. So if you

141
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 4: think about Justin Jefferson on the outside, him in the slot,

142
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 4: he knows how to run routes to not be noticed

143
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: to where you do forget about him. And that's I mean,

144
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: which is weird to say. Usc he was the best guy,

145
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 4: but he also had a down year fifty nine catches.

146
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: He went from a hundred catches at pitt to fifty

147
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: nine at USC because guys were finding him, but then

148
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: when he would come open, he would be wide open.

149
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 4: And that's that could be huge for Kirk Cousins.

150
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: I think that ankle injury kind of riddick. I guess

151
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: it kind of mitigated some of his production last year. Also,

152
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: he missed three games due to an ankle injury ankle injury,

153
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 3: and then missed the Bowl game that he could have

154
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 3: played in but opted to train for the draft. So

155
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 3: he still had a big year fifty nine catches in

156
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: ten games. Like that's not a bad year for a

157
00:06:59,000 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: new offense.

158
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: You see a suit though, like the pink suit, the glasses,

159
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 4: Like him and Justin Jefferson are gonna have like a

160
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: fashion show every week. Like it's gonna be like I

161
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: can see Tatum walking up to both of them every week,

162
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: like who's wearing what? Because I mean right away he

163
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: had the pink suit, he had the glasses. I mean,

164
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: he reminds me of a kid from Detroit, Like I

165
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: know Jalen Rose is somewhere like cheering that on, but

166
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: just the swag too, like to have that confidence that swag.

167
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: That's what you need to come into the NFL and

168
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 4: be a guy to play along a guy alongside of

169
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 4: a guy with huge swag, and Justin Jefferson, I think

170
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: they're gonna fit well together.

171
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean he has to be excited about that. You

172
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: have to think. I mean, Justin Jefferson obviously a global brand,

173
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: and now all these guys are trying to they do

174
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: his dances, they do, they dress like him, they want

175
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: to be like him, and now he gets to play

176
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: alongside him. It's got to be somewhat of a dream

177
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: come true for that guy. Not only we drafted, but

178
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: we drafted on the same team as Justin Jefferson. AJ

179
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Brown actually was on the same broadcast that Kirk Cousin

180
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: was on like reacting to picks, and obviously Kirk was

181
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: very excited but Jordan Edison. But AJ Brown called Addison

182
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: the steel of the draft, called him a smooth criminal,

183
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: which I thought was which was always really good to

184
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: hear from the guy like AJ Brown about that. I

185
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: look at what Aj Brown exactly, I mean receiver, right, And.

186
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: That's why I started off with like, Jordan Addison has

187
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: a doctorate in running routes and he has a doctorate

188
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: in making spectacular catches. Like not every receiver has both

189
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: of those traits. And I mean, just we're not even

190
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: talking about out getting off the line of scrimmage, like

191
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: shaking a defender at the line of scrimmage, at creating

192
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: space like this is a complete wide receiver. And I'm

193
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: not going to compare him to Justin Jefferson just yet,

194
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: like because what JJ did in his rookie season is generational.

195
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 3: But Jordan Addison has traits. If you turn on the film,

196
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: you can say, Okay, this guy can be special if

197
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: he really puts it all together and Kevin O'Connell uses

198
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: him to the ability that us right here on this podcast,

199
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: I know that Jordan Addison can be here with this

200
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings team.

201
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Ron, Now that we have the first round finish,

202
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: of course we react to that, but we can depletely

203
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: start thinking about the next few picks in the next

204
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: couple of rounds. Vikings have four picks between rounds three

205
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: and seven, so they have one tomorrow. Obviously in the

206
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: latter half of the day. Where do you think, needs wise,

207
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: do the Vikings should go? Need to go in the

208
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: third round?

209
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if he'll still be there, but of

210
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 4: course I love Hindon Hooker, like I like that pick.

211
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: But then also the kid out of Stanford six six,

212
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 4: two hundred and thirty one pounds, not sure because I

213
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: mean I think he's in the two but he's in

214
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 4: the two hundreds. So that's a guy you can get

215
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: later in the fifth or whatever. But that's the guy's

216
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: name is Tanner what is it Tanner McNee? I think, yeah,

217
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: Tanner McKey out of Stanford. Like he's six ' six,

218
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: you know, kind of built like Kevin O'Connell. And I'm

219
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: talking about a guy that can get with Kevin O'Connell.

220
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 4: He can teach him for the next two years behind

221
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins to learn and could be really good. But honestly,

222
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: when you look at the knees, I'm going to say,

223
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: you know, d tackle because when you look at teams

224
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: and teams that really dominate the Eagles, it was upfront

225
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, it was upfront the Buffalo Bill, it was

226
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: Von Miller getting you know, it was teams like that.

227
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: All we're trying to figure out how to get pressure

228
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 4: on the quarterback. And I think that's where the Vikings

229
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: have to start looking now, is whether it's figuring out

230
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 4: a defensive end that's gonna play can play a five

231
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 4: technique and play tackle, but yeah, you got to You

232
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: got to solidify the front to stop the run, but

233
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 4: also be able to get off the quarterback. So I

234
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 4: like the kid Elijah, but he you know, Cancy from

235
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 4: pitt You know the Darren Aaron Donald look alike, but

236
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: they already took him early in the first round. So

237
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: you gotta find you a guy out there. You know

238
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: you talked about the kid from Clemson. You gotta find

239
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 4: a guy like that. You got to find a beef

240
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 4: eater that's gonna you know, eat gunpowder and yeah, clog

241
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 4: up the middle, but just be a be a bully

242
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: like you got. I mean, I watched the Baltimore Ravens

243
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 4: thirty for thirty bullies in Baltimore, and I mean Sarah Goosa,

244
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: Sam Adams, you know you go to when I played

245
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: when you know with Anthony Weavers, those guys were bullies,

246
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: like they bully the front the Steelers like the whole time,

247
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: the Steelers, they've always had a front seven that was

248
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: bullies all the way back to the Steel Curtain. And

249
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 4: then all the way to now with TJ.

250
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: Watt.

251
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 4: It's just what those teams do and that's why they

252
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 4: end up backing the playoffs every year or two. And

253
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 4: I think that's what the Vikers need to do next.

254
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 4: You gotta solidfy their front seven.

255
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more game.

256
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you don't go defensive lineman, you got to

257
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: go linebacker. I still think there's a void at that

258
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: spot and the guy and Demarrion Overshown. I think a

259
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: six five, two hundred and fifty pounds linebacker from Texas.

260
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: His freakish athleticism I believe fits this Minnesota Vikings and

261
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: Brian Floor as defense, you definitely have to shore up

262
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball. If the Vikings go

263
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: offense again in this draft, I will be fairly surprised.

264
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: You got the wide receiver that you want, you fill

265
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: that void, So use those next four or five or

266
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 3: three picks on the defender. So we'll see what they do.

267
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: But you got to show up linebacker Brian Asimoi. Yeah,

268
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: he did finish the season off strong last year.

269
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: But you need depth.

270
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 3: You need depth. Who do you have behind Jordan Hicks,

271
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: Who's going to be that next guy in line. Since

272
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: Jordan Hicks is only on a one year deal, I

273
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: think a big time linebacker in the third round like

274
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: we did last year. Can suffice that that that void right.

275
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: There could not agree with you guys. Well, this is

276
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: only just the beginning of the reaction that we will

277
