It's time 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.360 for another draft show presented by Miller Line, the only 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.320 beer of the Dallas Cowboys. As we are officially fifteen 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.680 days away from the twenty twenty three NFL Draft in 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.360 Kansas City, Missouri. Welcome into the SWBC studios at the 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.520 Star in Frisco. We've got Brian Broddis, Zack Walt, Chuck 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.560 Aysha Morrison. I'm Kyle Yeomans as we take you through 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:51.040 the next hour, breaking down, investigating, and educating from draft 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.440 prospects as we are closing in on the two week 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:58.480 mark out, how's everybody doing the anxiety? It's kicking in 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.720 then taking a deep breath. Yeah, it's like I was 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:05.399 telling to Brian about this. You've watched how many corners, 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.960 how many defensive ends, and every day it's like here 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.440 you go, here's another guy to go watch, and I'm 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.680 just starting to get I don't think I'm gonna get 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:17.720 enough players. Yeah, I'm almost a two hundred players. Wow, yeah, 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.000 that's I think to me, that's that's the anxiety you 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.360 go to. And that's the anxiety that the teams go through. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.360 You know, there gets there's certain point in time these 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.560 teams are building their boards and that the part of 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.120 it's fun. And then when it gets down to the 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.679 end where their board is complete, those last two three days, 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.800 the anxiety is now like getting ready to draft. Did 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.679 we do this right? I always said this. I'd go 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.840 in there and I'm like, please just let these tags 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.560 start blinking. Give me the good players if you just 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.360 you know, as I'm looking at them, if the tags 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.440 would just start glowing, you know, of like, hey, this 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.520 is gonna be the All Pro this year. This is 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.720 gonna be yeah the guy nobody's talking about fifth round. 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.000 You know that was always but the the the anxiety 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.559 is real because you you know, there's we I talked 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.920 about it last week. We were so locked in and 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.200 doing this job and doing it well. And you want 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.520 to be right. You want to be able to inform 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.639 people what you see and people trust you about doing this, 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.960 and you're right, Zach. I'm you know, I'm I'm looking 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.120 at a I'm looking at a corner from Southern Miss 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.680 last night that I'd already looked at twenty three other 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.400 corners and I'm like, all right, well, I see what 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.560 you know. I see the traits and stuff like that, 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:34.960 and this is where the guy is going to be. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.600 But that's that's your biggest fear, that you don't get 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.440 to all the guys. And you know, if we did 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.040 this full time for a living, I'm sure we'd have 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.760 all the guys, right, we'd have all the time to 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.640 go in there. But we have other jobs we have 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.480 to talk about and other things we have to do. 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.720 Tell me a little bit about that Southern Miss corner. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.480 Eric Scott. He was the last guy you watched coming 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.440 into today. So what do you think about him? Yeah, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.760 you know with Eric Scott, and he's a again, this 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.400 is a guy that you're you're kind of hearing, Hey, 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.799 you need to take a peek at He's six wenties 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.280 one ninety seven. He lines up as the field corner. 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.639 And when I say field, there's what we known as 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.400 the boundary, which is to the sideline, and field is 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.640 the guy that plays to the bigger side of the field. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.880 And look at Beam. He's got some highlights of him. 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.960 Yeah about this. So if you're watching along, you know, yeah, 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.679 here's Eric Scott and he's got the size and he's 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.720 got the ability right there, you'll see the tackle and 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.480 the wrap up and stuff like that. He plays a 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.680 lot of his own coverage, and you'll see him play 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.640 sideways a lot, and I mean sideways with his technique, 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.680 and then he kind of trail. He'll trail. Yeah, he'll 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.840 play with his back to the sideline. He'll trail and 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.200 then when he has to turn, he'll turn and he'll go. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.920 The movement is really really good with this guy. He's 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.640 not tight at all, and so he'll react to the 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:58.360 receiver when he's pressed. And he's not afraid to make tackles. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.040 We've seen that on the little video clips that Beam 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.640 has provided, and so you know the aggressiveness approach to 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:10.560 his game. Seventy eight tackles, he's had twelve pass breakups. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.760 He's going to be around the ball, and so at 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.920 at that size, at six ninety seven, that's a that's 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.000 a nice, nice looking player for you right there. That 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.360 has really I think a lot more zone coverage capabilities 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.080 than he does when he plays in man. What'd you 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.000 think about him? I haven't seen him yet. Less than 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.239 I was watching I watched Alex Austin the Oregon State 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.000 Corner tell me about him. So, Alex Austin good lengths 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.440 with a position. I don't think he's as good as 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:43.240 Nishan Wright, who is Nishan Wright's brother, Rajon Wright, who 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.560 plays on the other side. I think I think Rayjon's 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.440 a better player, but he mirrors receivers really well. I 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.480 think he passes off coverage in zone, has a good IQ, 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.560 supports the run, tackles well, hustles to the football. He's 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.920 not always the smoothest with his change of direction. Good 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:00.600 route runners, I think you're to be able to get 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.200 separation from him. But he can play press man, shows 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.320 good zone awareness, makes plays on the ball, and overall, 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.159 I think that he's a guy that day three sixth 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.560 round range. Maybe some people might have him a little 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.080 bit higher. I think he's gonna be a good special 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.880 teams player, work is a backup initially and then might 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.479 have the ability to end up being a starting corner 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.920 later on in his career. Like Ray Jean, I'd rather 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.440 take him, but Alex Austen had some potential. I also 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.520 I was gonna ask Brian, who do you think is 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.520 better between the kid you watched last night from Southern 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:33.400 Miss and your LSU Tiger McKay garner. I would take 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.080 the Southern Miss kill. Okay, That's what I would do, 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:39.279 because I was very unimpressed watching McKay garner. Yeah, and 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.679 he's the only LSU player so far that I've been like, oh, 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.719 I was not a big fan of Okay, So you 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.080 like Jay Wards, you like Jay Ward, and even watching 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.520 McKay garner, like, Jay Ward's still out there making. Jay's 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.320 a good player, and you guys know, I like boy 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.719 a lot, big fan of his. B Joglari's probably the 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.320 edge that's not getting enough love from I think draft 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.080 people right now. We probably should give him a little 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.240 bit more attention. But McKay gar it's just his feet 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.160 is balance, you know, I feel like he just kind 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.360 of stumbles around at times, and I just don't see 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.800 a lot of plays on the ball. Inconsistent tackler six 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.240 two two twelve, Like you can see the frame, the length, 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.359 I can see why. You know, scouts might say, right, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.800 let's get him in here, let's refine, refine the technique 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.839 a little bit. But on tape I didn't love what 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.359 I saw. Are USU who was the last guy that 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.400 you watched? And somebody that stuck out to you. I'm 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.080 laughing at myself because I'm trying to read my own 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.960 hand writing. But no, so I told you guys, ask 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.640 some questions for y'all. So we get into a point 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:43.640 with d N and Outsidelnebacker that we can knowe we 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.480 gotta stop saying these guys are undersized and this is 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.840 becoming the new norm. I'm asking that because I feel 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.880 like so many of the top dns in this draft. Sure, 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.159 when I look at like a Nick well, he's not 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:58.560 a top guy, but he I think he is. Well, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.279 I don't know where you guys have Nick campedon. But 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.640 when I look like I just and then you go 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.719 over and you look at a Nick Herbig, I mean, well, 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.280 let me stay with Nick Campton from Appalachian State. I'm 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.080 just looking at the fact that I feel like we 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.920 talk about Nolan Smith, you talk about Will McDonald, you 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:19.920 talk about maybe be Olari, Like I keep seeing undersize. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.360 I keep thinking, oh, the people consider these gentlemen under sized. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.960 But this feels like kind of this is where some 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.240 of these twitchy top athletes are from the DN position 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.760 outside linebacker position, When are we gonna start or is 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:36.000 there maybe a transition and transition happening with that position. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.160 It's a little bit different, right because you're not looking 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.880 at six foot four or six foot five and length. 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.239 You're looking at speed and about six two in strength 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.760 and bend all sorts of beds. Right. And then so 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.560 because I feel like so many knocks on so many 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.960 of the top dns that we've talked about, um is 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.880 the fact that maybe they're under sized, so you don't know, 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.400 like maybe you can run at them. Maybe similar to 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.760 the conversation of what Micah has talked about, and Micah 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.400 even has talked about that he's had to build his 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.160 callousis this past season. He's had to really take on 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.360 that physical beating of being a d N at that size, 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.640 and it's taken some time for him to develop, you know, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.480 into being able to get off of the you know, 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.160 to play that position more more. And so what I'm 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.480 asking is is, like I wonder if guys dns now 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.679 are going to start training different coming into this league 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.840 because they it just feels like I'm tired personally. I'm 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.480 tired of saying that a players undersized at the d 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.959 N position, because I feel like I just keep Oh, 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.680 he's a little undersized, but he's a playmakers he's crazy. Okay, 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.800 So which one like? Which one is it? This is? 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.600 It's funny you bring up Hampton because as I look 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.960 at my notes, the very last thing I said, need 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.679 to need to have a vision for his value, you know. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.720 And so you know, I kind of feel like that 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.600 Nick Hampton at six two two thirty six might be 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:06.760 max stout physically, but I you watch him play and 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:14.680 he never stops the redirection field, the redirection, he sees 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.920 double teams, he gets through that. He you know, he's 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.200 lightweight wise, but he sure does good a good job 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.360 of playing with power. So if you know, if you 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.200 have those abilities where you might be short or you 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.679 might be a little light, you better have other traits 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.760 that can kind of carry you for the day. And 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.760 that's where that's the beauty of scouting. I was talking 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.600 with I was talking with the guy with the Broncos 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.320 this morning on the way to the station, and I said, 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.400 tell me about these wide receivers. Tell me about all 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.480 these short wide receivers. A guy, I can't I don't 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.520 have figured out. I figured out I'm getting ready to 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.640 draft here in a couple of weeks, you know, and 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.320 you're and you're just like, but you're trying. That's the 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.079 beauty of the draft. You got to find these when 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:06.560 you're talking about these edges that might be lightweight wise, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.120 but what else do they do? Can you can their 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:15.040 skill set overcome anything that they any deficiencies that they 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.199 might have. And that's that's where we're at with that. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.920 I've never seen. I've never seen in all these years 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.000 I've been doings draft since ninety two, I don't remember 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.120 a draft where I've had to deal with more questions 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.920 about the size of a player, whether it's being the 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.800 height or the weight or you know it. Usually you 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.280 have a you this is. You know, in the old days, 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.600 there was a guy less sneat, old scout and we lost, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.200 and Less used to say this is, this is These 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:48.920 guys are part of the jockey club. And if you 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.760 know anything about horse race and jockeys are short, he says. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.880 And so you know there's that you got that jockey club. 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.200 At wide receiver, you got the I mean, one of 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.360 the best players I've seen is one hundred and sixty 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.400 six pound owner. Yep, when when have I ever seen that? 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.120 And it's undeniable too. Yeah, And that's what I'm saying. 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:09.320 I mean, this is this is the challenge of these 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:15.359 teams to find the the the you know, the Forbes 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.320 and and look at where Nick Hampton needs to be 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.600 on your board, because there's a place for these guys. 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.200 But it is so different from what old Krusty Bryant 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.439 has used to when it comes to scouting. Another thing 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:31.280 about Nick Campton, I felt like he's dependable in a 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.480 sense that when he gets a chance to make the play, 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.360 he's gonna he's gonna out. He's if he gets his 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.280 hands on you, you're probably gonna get tackles like he's yea. 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.360 And I like that dependability from a player. And I 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.679 also said he's gonna win with speed and agility, like 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.400 that's what he's gonna win with. He's not gonna I 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.240 don't think he's winning with power right now and all 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:50.960 that stuff. He can work on a shed work, but 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.320 I just I don't know. I just think that's a 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.720 conversation to be had about so many of these top dns. 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.080 I feel like it's undersized all he's a little underweight, 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.880 he's a little and I'm like, okay, is that becoming 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.720 a new norm? Is that becoming? Is d ND becoming? 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.840 Like when I look at Tank and I'll look at 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.800 some of these guys, I'm like, is night and day, 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.120 I guess what's You're one of the first, one of 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.920 the first guys. When we started this journey many many 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.680 weeks ago, one of the first guys that you talked 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:23.000 about was Will McDonald from Iowa State, YEP. And at 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.360 two hundred and thirty nine pounds. I will stand here 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.439 right now and tell you that that Will McDonald is 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.520 a consideration for them at twenty six. Yeah, at six four, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.040 two thirty nine, I will tell you that. Now, we'll 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:41.040 see how the board plays. But the fact that Will McDonald, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.800 who people saying he's a little bit of this, a 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.960 little bit. No, guy's a good football player, really good 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.040 football player. That is a guy if they go for 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:53.160 a defensive end at twenty six, I wouldn't be surprised 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:58.839 if it's Will McDonald. Yeah, and you talk about all 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.640 but that's what I'm saying. But I see the potential. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.360 There's the people in the room, there's people in that 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.880 room that will fight for Will McDonald. Yeah, And there's 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.720 and that's a great thing about it. If we were 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.840 in a draft room, she would fight for Will McDonald, 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.520 and you would fight against her for Will McDonald. Yeah, 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.920 that you wouldn't want to go that is this a 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.160 byproduct because you do see it on film. You see 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.120 some of the flashes like Zach stops with McDonald specifically, 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.439 but he's a great example in any other draft class. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.560 Is he out of the first round, but because he's 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.559 sitting at six foot four, two forty, he has that size, 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.959 he has the frame, he has the potential. She's talking 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.440 about the trace I'm talking about and a draft class 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.840 that doesn't match up the same time. I don't even know, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.319 but I think this that's what I'm saying though this 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.920 draft class. This is a very D D N heavy drafts. Yes, 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.440 and that's part of it. That's part of why there's 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.720 so much discussion. But also too, I think when you 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.000 start it's even to a point of where we look 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.320 at linebacker. If you're just a regular linebacker and all 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.320 you do is linebacker stuff, we're bored, which you yeah, 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.199 you gotta be able to So what That's what I'm 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:06.720 saying is like, is the DN outside linebacker position becoming 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.559 something where you can get Like we're talking about if 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.839 you're a little undersized or whatever the case may be, 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.280 maybe teams are like, we can put some weight on him, 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:15.960 we can we can help him get better in that 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.440 position or whatever. I just feel like, I'm just I'm 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.920 personally right. I'm not gonna I'm tired of labeling so 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.120 many of these great athletes at edge is undersized. Yeah, 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.440 it's too many of them that are undersized that are good. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.840 So we can play like there's certain traits that I 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.360 don't think you can coach. That's like a Nick Hampton 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.760 for example. We're just comparing Nick Hampton app state Will McDonald. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.920 Will McDonald's a guy. The reason he frustrates me when 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.680 he wants to turn it on, it's there. It's just 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:45.920 not consistent to me. There's times where he's getting blocked 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.720 by guys he has no business being blocked by. But 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.120 then the next snap, all of a sudden, here you go. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.080 You've got the bend, you've got the dipping rip. You 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.840 see the burst off the line of scrimmage. The talents there, 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.960 there's no question with a Will McDonalds just gotta get 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.400 him agitated, right, But the differences, Nick Hampton, he's not 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.200 quitting on any play. This dude hustled him to the football. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.240 You watch him against Texas A and M. He recovers 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.600 two fumbles, one of them's ten plus yards down the field. 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.600 Ye right, I can't teach the motor. I can't teach 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.880 that relentless type of play. You have it or you don't. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.280 Where would you take Will McDonald second round is so 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.320 you've got a second round grade? Would you take him 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.800 early second round? Like if you let's say the Cowboys 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.600 trade it out, they trade it out, they pulled the 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.560 parachute at twenty six, and we'll talk about some trade 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.240 scenarios in our third segment. It could be interesting. Would 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.600 you take him at thirty five? You can get a 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.640 pick at thirty five, or he's my thirty eighth best 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:35.440 player on my board? Yeah, I think I went through 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.600 my top one hundred because I just knew that I 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.720 wasn't going to be able to add anybody else into 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.720 that top one hundred. Sure, so I'm gonna I'm gonna stack. 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.600 I'm stacking my board. I stacked it. He's my thirty 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.960 eighth best player, and I'll tell you how I got him. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.680 You're talking about guys like the guys you maybe realistically 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.960 have a shot at Noland Smith. I got old Smith 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.120 at twenty one, Jelari at twenty nine, McDonald at thirty eight, 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.600 and I'm gonna be really wrong about van Ness, but 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.920 I got him at forty one. Hey, I'm just saying McDonald. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.120 But that's what I'm saying. Where do you have Miles 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.040 Murphy from Clemson? Just fourteen? Okay, so he's up there. See, 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.480 that's what I'm saying. If you're talking about second round guys, 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.600 if they were and again, I think that if they 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.480 went into a trade back mode and I don't know 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.520 if they're going to trade out of the first round, 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.760 I'm just I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.880 McDonald is a pick if they if they traded back 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.120 into the top of the second round in that McDonald 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.120 would be there would be a guy, and that I 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.800 would But you have to compare him to whatever else 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.320 does tight ends the guards. I think we're getting really 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.880 close the fact that we're hearing reports that they visited 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.440 with Darnel Wright the Tennessee and we've talked about him. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.840 I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go on, Ricord Darnel writes 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.520 the nineteenth best player on my board. There you go, okay. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.000 So with that being said, With that being said, he's 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.360 better than Tyler Smith, who you took it the same 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:02.160 you know, the Ta Tames, same spot last year. So 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:06.040 if they took Darnell right the tackle from Tennessee at 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.000 twenty six, I wouldn't be happier than that than them 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:15.120 taking Towards or or TCU. Kid you said, you said 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:18.920 right high. Yeah, I have right at nineteen, Towards at 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:23.160 thirty and at thirty four on my top one hundred. Yes, 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.720 I mean going back to McDonald, I just have edges 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.760 that I like more like I like King Felix at 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.159 a case state more. I would take him before that, 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.560 I think O Gilari is better. I would take b 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.320 Jo Gilari as well. Certainly Nolan Smith and Miles Murphy. 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.239 I've got ahead of both of those guys. But if 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.800 you were to trade back and Felix and a dk 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.920 Zoma is sitting there, I'd rather take him than a 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.600 Will McDonald. So it's it's interesting because and I you 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:52.080 should mentioned this earlier. It is such an edge heavy class, 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.480 the top heavy parts of this edge. I have fourteen 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.320 addreshers in my top one hundred right now. Yeah, fourteen. 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.840 It's very that's talented group. There's a lot of guys there. 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:05.479 So does that deter you away from who is your 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.359 last guy? Who is your last just squeaked in, yeah, 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.800 uh Colby Wooden from Auburn, Okay, I have a third 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.760 round grade on Colby Wooden from Auburn. I think the 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.440 last guy for me would be Young from Tennessee. Byron 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.000 Young from Tennessee would be He's number ninety five on 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.200 my board right now. He's one oh four on mine, 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.679 so he's not too far off. What do you What 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.040 do you like about Byron Young? I'll tell you what 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.159 Byron Young to me. I mean, if you if you 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.920 just watch him play against some of the better, uh 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.280 the better tackles that they had in the sec This 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.399 guy made plays he uh you know, his pass rush. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.600 I think there's I think when you when you when 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.880 you when you really really study him, and that ability 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.040 that he has to finish the way he does. I 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.240 mean because he plays on both sides of the defense, 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.480 and I think his ability to close when he has 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.040 a chance to run, he can really make to play 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.479 the burst, the explosive. This he can capture the edge 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.359 you talk about, the dip underneath the blockers and the 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.760 free himself the length to keep blockers off his body. 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.320 He plays with his hands. I really like that. So 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.120 he could I said, you know, maybe if he has 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.240 a knock, he does a decent job of holding the 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.280 point of attack, but you could, you know, but you 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.520 don't see him getting driven off the ball all that much. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.840 So I think when you put him on the move, 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:26.800 you can use him in the twist game and stuff 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.520 like that. I think that's where Byron Young can really 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.560 really help you. Big fan of Byron Yellingham and we 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.040 talked about this last week. I think you look at 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.119 the timing of his get off off the snap, he 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.440 might have some of the best explosion burst get off 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.080 amongst any of the edge rushers. For me, it was 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.560 it is he doesn't get knocked off the ball, but 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.520 he needs to play with more power and maybe needs 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.560 to put on a little bit of strength to He 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.560 just doesn't get off blocks as consistently as you'd like 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.280 to see. But he's a splash player for me, like 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.320 I think Byron Young, if you if you don't take 0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.560 an edge early, you want to take a guy in 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:01.919 that third round range, I'd be a big fan of 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.639 taking him out of Tennessee. What do you think about Amisha? Um? 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.480 I let his hands like you talked about, I wrote 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.400 down heavy hands, yep. So when he's chopping that hill 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.280 or he's he's hand fighting, and I think that's advanced 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.199 to some degree for you know, asolutely he talked. I 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.760 listened to Tank talk about hand tech. That's not something 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.120 he really mixed into his game until the latter part. 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:25.840
