This is the Dallas 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.960 Cowboys dot Com Draft Show, your war room for insider 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:43.320 news and drafted analysis. M Smith running back from Florida. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:48.400 It is an early Tuesday edition of the Dallas Cowboys 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.320 dot Com Draft Show, as we get you set for 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:56.640 this week's twenty twenty NFL Draft. It's just two days away, 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.320 and it's crazy to think that we are just over 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:04.240 I guess under seventy two hours away from the NFL Draft. 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.759 It's been a long journey, it's been an odd journey, 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.360 but we are just about to that point. Kyle Yeoman's 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.319 here alongside Jeff Kavanaugh, the great David Hellman, and also 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.920 the incredible Kevin kat Turner down in the bottom corner, 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.120 and so glad you're with us. Hope you're still saying 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.920 staying safe out there, and guys overall, this is just 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.000 kind of crazy to think that we're you're finally leading 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:34.839 into that elusive day and really weekend of the NFL Draft. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:41.480 But the realists, it really is just right around the corner. Yeah, 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.320 I tried to watching wrestling last night, so I was 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:50.240 looking for anybody, and it was weird man kind of wrestling. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.400 They're like in the end, right, yeah, they're in the 0:01:55.400 --> 0:02:02.360 empty arena and for awkward real touttoos driving. So yeah, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.800 let's get some sports. Yeah yeah, I meant sporting. Yeah, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.200 I mean sport. And this is what we got. We 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.240 got a mapel grow other than the week before the 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.399 season starts. This is like the best of Stars. Don't 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:22.720 care like the draft on its real draft. Yeah, let's draft. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.880 I saw a YouTube video of two bears in the 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.760 street getting after it, and it was like Tristan Worth's 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.240 is taken on calevan Chase on. In my mind, I 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:37.200 was just creating all these like football references. I don't know, 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.160 but yeah, let's get this thing going. Dude. I saw 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:44.160 that video and Bear number one, who was really you know, 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.919 trying to make this thing happen. Beair number two was 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.320 like backpedaling, but they were both doing the like I 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.640 will fight you, but Bare number two with backpedaling like no, 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.359 we don't have food, bro. But when Bear one finally 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.880 went to it, Bear two man handled Bear one despite 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.280 trying to tell a row we don't have to do this. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.880 See he stayed low with the line of scrimmage. He 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.440 was able to get good leverage underneath and then able 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.440 to drive back with a strong lower body. That was 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.480 the biggest thing. I think that was kind of the 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.200 takeaway that we took out of that tape session. However, 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.400 there's still plenty to get to around just draft buzz 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.920 in general. Of course, we will have Twitter on the 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.600 twenty coming up in just a little bit. I will 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.760 also tell you that Kat has a strategy that's gonna 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.079 make the Cowboys a Super Bowl contender. We're gonna talk 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.840 about that coming up in the third segments. So you 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.679 don't want to go around anywhere for that. But let's 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.880 get to some of these draft buzz points overall, just 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.720 kind of leading in to this final week, in this 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.120 final lead up to the draft, and I've got a 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.720 couple points here. I kind of want to just roundtable 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.160 with you guys, and we're gonna start things off with 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.280 kind of the technology, and of course we've talked about 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.160 the draft beating virtual this season, We've talked about the 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.560 overall kind of issues that could arise, and then they 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.280 had the mock draft there yesterday or the day before, 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:05.040 and in that mock draft there was issues with the 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.200 first overall pick. The Bengals at the first overall pick 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.080 had a little bit of a hiccup. They did not 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.520 get their pick off in two and a half minutes 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.960 of a delay. There was that hiccup there, but after 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.720 that it seemingly went smooth. According to John Elway, who 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.760 was a part of the whole organization, it was a 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.279 mock draft that was scheduled out between the thirty two 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.480 teams and even included the Cowboys in the script, trading 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.599 up to the number one overall pick, where they took 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.520 offensive tackle Trey Adams out of Washington with the first 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.120 overall pick. So there was some Cowboys fun with that. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.640 I mean, they took Trey Adams, but it was a 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.560 scripted thing that way. It wasn't Joe Burrow, but just 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.120 kind of funny overall. But it kind of just leads 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.920 to that worry overall of the fact that we don't 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.479 really know how things are gonna go whenever Thursday rolls around. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:56.880 Yeah we do, Kyle, it's gonna be a trade. Rick 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:03.480 and I just made it. Oh man, I think not immediately. 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.120 And I don't know if it'll be your favorite team. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.440 I don't know whose team it'll be but absolutely we 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.320 will have the a lot of time for a pick 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.400 and it will go over that in the first round 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.040 at least four or five pounds, whether it's working out 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.560 of trade, because what I saw was that the owners 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.680 the gym for blaming bandwid for what went wrong. That's 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.240 what you blame. If you don't know what went wrong, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.000 you get bandwidth is not the problem. There was not 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.640 a bandwidth. There was the problem with somebody, you know, 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.680 there was a problem with a mute button that somebody 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.880 didn't hit. There was it's gonna be a trademar and 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:47.360 I can't wait your time. Thirty thirty front offices. You 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.600 know you've seen the Cowboys War Run. You know you 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.480 watching the Cowboys War Front. You've ever watched it? Somewhere 0:05:53.560 --> 0:06:01.200 eighteen somewhere between. All of them separated, you know, because 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.560 of COVID restrictions, none of them having you know, in 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.960 person access to their IT departments, and the vast majority 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.960 of these people do not know how technology works as 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.000 well as you would prefer. If it goes off without 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.599 a hitch, I will be shocked. Like if it goes 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.680 off without a hitch, that'll be one of the most 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.080 impressive things the NFL has ever pulled off. I think 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.599 it's gonna be hilarious. It's hilarious. Well, I think another 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.520 thing that they have to contend with is that the 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.240 draft historically has been a made for TV event. So 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.760 what you see is they have it kind of scheduled 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.120 out with their commercial breaks and things like that. So 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.720 you have ten minutes to make a pick, but if 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.600 we need to catch up on spot time, we need 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.240 to make this a four hour night one, which they 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.360 normally do, or three and a half hour night one. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:49.880 Then the commissioner can put on the brakes and then 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.080 we'll announce the pick after commercial. If you're doing this 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.800 like everyone does our fantasy football draft, and we're just 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.640 moving on the next pick, then it should move faster, 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.920 and the NFL is going to take their proper steps 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.120 to make it move a little slower to work at 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.800 their pace. So there's a lot going on with that 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.200 as well, with some teams going, wait, I had fifteen 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.360 minutes to make a pick, or I only had five 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.120 minutes to get my pick in because the way it 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.560 was all it all worked out, and it's just gonna 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.400 be really, really awkward. It's gonna be really bad. And 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.800 another thing is too and I mean no disrespect, you 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.080 do start asking for a lot of problems when you 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.280 start putting really old people in charge of technology. I 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.000 don't know what the kids are doing on TikTok. I'm 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.040 not I'm just as guilty, but you really do start 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:47.000 asking for problems when when you're saying, hey, older person, 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:56.720 handle the Internet. Okay, okay, boomer looker, it does present 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.560 a problem. And you will probably see some of the 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.240 IT professionals at least involved. I don't know if they'll 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.560 be directly in the house the entire time, but I'm 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.000 sure they'll have kind of an emergency contingency plan going 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.040 into it. I feel like you have to have a 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.560 safety net should some of those issues arise. But moving 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.000 on to some of the players and some of the 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.240 rumors that are circling some of the selections that could 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.640 come early in this draft. Let's start with Jeffrey Okuda, 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.560 one of our favorites out of Ohio State. The cornerback 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.880 top on the board, I believe across the board here 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.080 for the draft show in terms of the top corner 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.800 on the board, and it's really not a competition. However, 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.360 there's some rumors that he may slide back a little bit, 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.960 and corner may not be as early of a draft 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.079 need as teams may have thought originally, or as media 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.559 may have thought originally. If he ends up sliding back, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.280 I'm not necessarily saying he would slide back to seventeen, 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.280 or at least within range of seventeen. But is it 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.599 a possibility that that maybe push C. J. Henderson to seventeen? 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.440 Maybe a Christian Fulton there maybe a little bit further 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.640 back if you wanted to trade back a little bit. 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.240 What does this do as a domino effect with a 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:08.160 cornerback position. I think that's where these rumors are great. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.320 I mean I think I think you're still putting money 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.199 on it, and I still think you think Okuda goes 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.400 at number three if that pick doesn't get traded, and 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.920 I think there's a chance that that does happen. But 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.160 I do think it's interesting, and it's first of all, 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.400 it's like disclaimer, it is smoke screen sison like yet 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:28.559 to remember that, right. But the Derek Brown, the Derek 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.360 Brown to the Lions rumors that popped up out of 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.840 nowhere yesterday are very interesting. I always kind of thought 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.560 they might keep it quiet on Isaiah Simmons that they 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.560 would like him and maybe try to keep that down. 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.839 So if Okuda does go back though the next landing spot, 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.240 you kind of look around. It's like, okay, if you 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.719 get past the quarterback teams, the Chargers and the and 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.880 the Dolphins at five and six, maybe the Cardinals are eight, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.200 Jacksonville at nine, Like, you get a couple of teams 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:00.920 who would make sense and take a corner back, and 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.160 maybe that does push someone back back to you a 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.880 little bit. No, I god, why nobody's good at mock 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.480 drafts because what we do and I do too, So 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:15.720 I'm talking to me you uh like, we'll talk about 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.120 what you get the best player and find the best 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.640 value in the draft, but then we'll mock every other 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.360 team to pick their biggest need instead of necessarily picking 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.439 the best player where it's like, well Henderson, uh, you know, 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.080 maybe he goes nine because they need a corner or maybe, 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.080 and that's the way that we do it. And then 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.520 somebody's gonna break the whole thing by just picking their 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.719 best player even though it's not their biggest position in 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.360 need and ruin everybody's buck draft. So I really don't know, 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.280 And that's the fun of it. That's I was gonna say. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.760 I mean, who's the type of player, Like, even if 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.600 he slides, I can't imagine him having a crazy slide 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.400 because at some point somebody's gonna say the best corner 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.520 in the draft is sitting here at pick eight, Like, 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.720 of course we're gonna take him. Who cares what we need? 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.439 Like that's how that works. So I don't think I 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.480 see it. And I mean I've been suspecting for a 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:07.160 while that CJ. Henderson is going to go higher than 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.760 a lot of us initially thought. And I know you 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.040 can't trust draft week rumors completely, but you know, the 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.040 buzz seems to indicate that that's a total possibility. There's 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.360 a lot of chatter about Atlanta wanting to trade up 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:24.079 they could use a cornerback. Talked about Jackson Bill drafting CJ. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:28.559 Henderson at ninth overall, and you know, Jeff Okuda could 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.000 slide to seven or eight and then CJ. Henderson goes 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.040 nine or ten, Like that wouldn't shock me even slightly. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.120 I definitely think he's talented enough to be picked that highly. 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:41.319 You hit somebody who likes him well, also kind of 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.040 going off of that a little bit, there's the dangling 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.120 of picks kind of going on. At the same time, 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.400 you've got the Giants at four that are saying, hey, 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:52.360 we've got some prime spot, some prime real estate right here. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.160 I know the Lions are just ahead of us, but 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:55.959 we still got a pretty good spot here if you 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.000 wanted to trade up and see what we could do there. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.400 So I mean, even if he gets past three and 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.520 then you move on the later parts of the draft, 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.640 which I think he will get past the third overall pick, 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.400 because I don't expect maybe the Lions to sit there 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.559 and select. But then you've also got teams like the 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.640 forty nine ers who could potentially trade the thirteenth pick. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.800 I know, like you said, Atlanta has a chance to 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.040 be a suitor the Cowboys, are they interested? Depending on 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.080 who falls, it would be kind of a tough sell 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.240 to me. But at least there's those conversations being had 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.439 between these teams about these picks early in the draft 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.360 and kind of dangling them out there. Any of them 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.000 kind of surprise you or at least pique your interest 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:39.680 a little bit. Can we talk about the laziest smoke 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.160 screen in the history of the World that came out yesterday. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:47.400 I'm still laughing about Justin Herbert. The Giants are doing 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:51.959 homework on Justin Herbert. Be my guest, y'all. If you 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.280 want to have three top ten picks in the last 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.679 three years and spend them on a running back and 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.559 two quarterbacks that nobody's sold on, you go right ahead. 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.400 But if you expect me to believe that you're talking 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.560 to Justin Herbert because you're actually going to draft him, 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.160 you're stupid. Or if you actually draft him, you're even 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:14.160 stupider than that. So have all the fun in the world, Giants. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.920 I hope it works for you. I hope somebody comes 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.080 to get your pick, but I doubt they will because 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.760 nobody actually believes you would do that. What's a dumb rumor, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.400 because if you're the Giants, let's just pretend that they're 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.760 let's pretend they're really smart, right, and so in their 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.200 mind they're really smart, and so get them and sitting 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:34.760 there and he goes, boys, you know what we gotta do. 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.760 Hold on, they move my binder, talk to you, guys, 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.800 but we got to do just tell people we're interested 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.800 in a quarterback. That way people will want to trade 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:48.920 with us to come get the quarterback. But then somebody 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.400 smarter than him would be like, well they've actually what 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.880 would happen if teams thought we were interested in that 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.120 quarterback is they would jump ahead of us. So we're 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.520 actually just creating even more demand for the pick in 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.080 front of us, not for our pick. So we're really 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:08.439 accomplishing nothing with this rumor. But Dave, what in the 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.400 middle of that? Would what in the middle of that? 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.400 Assume that the Giants were being smart though, that's the question. 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.280 Maybe Gettleman is trying to help the Lions. Maybe he's 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.000 trying to help you know, Patricia and uh and bab O'Quinn, 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.920 you know, get something for that third overall pick. Good 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.080 job day, a good team player. You know the owners 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.040 are in this together. Well, think about this. Maybe they're trying. 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.400 Maybe they're trying to pique the interest of a team 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.960 that might have to get ahead of them to get 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.800 trade with Washington at two, so that Washington goes back 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.320 and doesn't have Chase Young and you're not playing against 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:52.160 Chase Young twice a year? Is that crazy? What does 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.400 that have to do with the Giant? Well, if i'm 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.760 if I'm talking about a quarterback. If I'm talking about 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.160 a quarterback at three and then I'm another team, I'm well, 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.000 I gotta get ahead of I gotta get ahead of them, 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.680 or at four, I gotta get ahead of them. Now, 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.000 I don't know, Maybe I'm crazy, I am What do 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.280 you guys think the Giants? What do you guys think 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.120 the Giants are gonna do it for? Y'all think they'll 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.920 go like one of the tackles, either one of the 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.360 tackles or Isaiah Simmons. Yeah, tackle or Simmons would be 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:24.920 my guests. Probably there, probably tackle. I don't know. It's 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.840 kind of tough to look at whenever you see it 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.880 goes back to kind of what Jeff's point was at 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.240 the beginning of the segment. Our team's gonna draft best 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.160 player they're gonna draft need. A lot of people have 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.840 offensive tackles slated to the Giants at pick number four. 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.840 Best player available most likely is gonna be Isaiah Simmons 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.880 at four instead, So if they do end up selecting 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.080 there would be interesting. Now some of the other players 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.000 that could end up going in the first part of 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.880 the round. This will be the last point before we 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:55.120 take our first break, but javon Kin Law to tungul Byloa. 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.320 Of course, health concerns. We've had some a little bit 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.320 with them over the course of the draft process that 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.960 Naton and Ninis for ken Law the hip for TWA, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.480 that apparently both were cleared during the NFL combine. Now 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.280 are they still clear? Is kind of the question going 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.160 into this. Are these physicals being failed? Are these teams 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.520 potentially going to let them drop a little bit more 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.600 than we earlier anticipated. Do you see a drop from 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.200 either one of these just because of the oddity of 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.000 this draft process moving into the final league, kind of 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:28.880 hoping for a TWA drop based on some of my 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:33.280 activities that I did yesterday, because those rumor rooskis are 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.920 getting floated around there, so I went with it. The 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.840 thing about like medically cleared is it means different things 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.480 to different people, Like you could have twenty three teams 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.600 that said, tah, good to go, and then you could 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.440 have ninither are like, we ain't touching him no matter what. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.760 So even cleared is a weird term because it's like 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.640 you get the initial report that to his medicals checked out, 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.040 it's clear he's ready to play, but you've probably got 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.080 somewhere between five and ten or maybe five and twenty 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.960 five team who are like, yeah, that's cool, he's clear 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.679 to work out. That dude getting hurt. He's banged up, 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:13.720 so you just you never know what it means for 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.480 your teeth. I'm gonna put a dollarp of hand sanitizer 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.200 on right now because I'm about to get my hands 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.200 dirty and break off a piece of truth for you guys. 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.240 Let's do it. Let me get a little high with you. Okay, 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.040 get a little tun with you. Tuah is not just 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.560 a quarterback, and that's what makes him valuable. He is 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:38.199 a very good quarterback. And let's be honest. I think 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.840 it's probably fifty fifty that we're playing less than sixteen 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.879 games this year. I think there's a chance. I am 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.359 not scared of drafting two because there's a chance. A. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.560 I don't have to play him at all. B I 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.679 don't play him at all because there is no season. 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.280 But see if it's in the best interest for the team, 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.600 I can still develop him for one year. Much like 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.680 Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson. None of those guys 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.359 played in year one. I do not have to play him, 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.159 just because I drafted him. So if you're worried of it, 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.000 he just got hurt. But okay, yeah, I hear you. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.080 If you're but if you're worried about if you're worried 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.320 about the hip, like you think it's degenerative, and he's well, 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.760 then he doesn't need to be in the league. Then okay, fine, 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.200 he's a good player. He draft him and he needs 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:26.000 to go high because he's not you know, Kyle Bohler. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:32.520 He's not Jake Locker. He's an excellent player. He's he 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:39.000 was not good enough. Wait but ta ta kat oh 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:43.040 on kat, let me ask you this with Tuah. But 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.520 let me get another doubt. Let me get one more doubt, 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:50.840 and then we'll have this conversation. So the bar sun 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:55.440 realize hand sanitizer was necessary today. Okay, So are we 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.560 pretending that teams who are medically worried about Tuah are 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.719 worried about this year too. They're worried about his career, 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:08.000 they're worried about two years and hip, knee ankle. They're 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:09.800 not worried about will he be able to play this 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.000 year or will he able to renhart this year? They're 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.119 worried about are we picking a franchise quarterback. It's not 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:20.840 gonna be available bunch, not today, but forever you weigh 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.200 the you weigh the risk reward of that. Isn't it 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:28.399 worth it anyway? Yeah? Fine, I'll roll with Tyrod Taylor. Fine, 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:35.360 you got me. If if there's not very good, he's 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.360 not as good as two ah could be. If there's 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:41.119 any chance that to uh plays like the guy that 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.119 we saw at Bama when he was healthy, like you 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.560 have to draft him, and I understand the concern. I 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:50.320 get it, But if we're again quarterbacks different, everything about 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.359 evaluating the position is different. If the pick hits, you 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.280 transform your franchise, and that's worth the risk to me, 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:01.280 even I totally at it, like he never he didn't 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.120 like play one hundred percent of any of his college seasons. 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:08.480 But if you even feel slightly optimistic about his medicals, 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.280 you just do it. I'm not going to criticize anybody 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.920 for trying to transform their franchise. You know, if you 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.240 if he was a running back or really any other position, 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.680 I feel a lot less secure taking that risk. But 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.000 if he hits, you change your franchise. So you just 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:29.720 roll the dice and hope for the best. Hey, guys, 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.800 what if you make the seventeen do it all day? 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.840 Let's go well with that being said, I don't want 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:41.119 to tea Sorry, Kyle, go ahead, Oh, go for it. 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:45.879 I mean either way, whenever you're going into pick seventeen, 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.200 I mean, it's best player available or your needs. And 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.600 I don't know if a need is quarterback right now 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.320 or anything. However, we do have a twitter on the 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.800 twenty question coming up that's going on addressed if the 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.040 Cowboys could actually pull a trigger on a second day quarterback. 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.040 We'll address that when we come back here in just 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.640 a moment here on the Dallas Cowboys dot Com Draft Show. 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.520 I'm Jay Novachik, former tight end for the Dallas Cowboys 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:12.800 back in the day.
