1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: So I'm moving on to our next question.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: Mark Now, I went on dinner dates with every single

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: prospect that I'm going to present.

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: You the jazz of take.

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Courly on, I like it, Falcons fans, what's up? And

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: welcome back to the Friday five. I'm your host Will McFadden,

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: joined as always by Tory mc laney, and we've got

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: new jerseys on Tory, what's up.

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's a long time coming. I think they look great.

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad the red is back. They're very clean, very classic,

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: which is the whole reason for the change in the

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: first place, kind of going to something that is wearable

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: for a very very long time, because the Falcons don't

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: want to be back here in another five to six

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: years redesigning another set of uniforms, and so I am

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: very happy with how these turned out. Of course, there's

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: going to be everybody who has like opinions on what

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: could have been done, but like, the Falcons still have

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: uniforms that could come into the ether at a certain

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: point in the years to come, So all options, I

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: feel like are still on the table.

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and everybody, please you know we're recording this at

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: eleven eighteen Thursday morning, the Jerseys dropped just over an

24
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: hour ago.

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: An hour and eighteen minutes ago. Yeah.

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: So there's been a lot that has been put into

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: these efforts, and you can find a lot of the

28
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: descriptions to kind of the launch video, to the stories

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: that Tory did, and I want to give you the

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: floor in a little bit. I know you kind of

31
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: just gave a little summary, but I want you to

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: just talk about that process. But there's been so much

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: work put into this, and you went up to the

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: Nike facility to talk about the design process and the details,

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: and you did a podcast that I don't have the

36
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: exact date that will be releasing.

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: I think it's already up. I think, yeah, I think

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: it's already up. Yeah.

39
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: Sweet, Well, yeah, share about that process and it's just

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: kind of the work that you put into this. Yeah.

41
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: So, I think a big part of my role in this,

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: I was a very small part of a very huge operation,

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: of course, but my role in this was to explain

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: the reasoning for why the Falcons made the decisions that

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: they made, and a lot of what I kind of

46
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: found out is that a lot of the main points

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons were holding on to was this idea of

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: when it comes to uniforms, less is more like you

49
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: don't like a player makes a uniform. A uniform doesn't

50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: make a player Like you can put Bejond Robinson in

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: anything and he's going to still be Bejond Robinson. So

52
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: I think that like that was something when the Falcons

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: were thinking about the direction that they wanted to go

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: in with these new uniforms, it was always this foundation

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: of we want to look clean, we want to look classic,

56
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: and we want to look Falcons. And I think that

57
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: that was accomplished through every single minuscule point of the

58
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: design process. Heck I wrote seven hundred and fifty words

59
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: on why the Falcons made the decision that they made

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: to put the like stripe on the pants, to put

61
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: the to do the number set the way that they

62
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: did the number set. It's a brand new number set,

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: Like the reason for going back to the red like

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: there as the primary home jersey. Like there's so many

65
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: integral details about why the Falcons made the decisions that

66
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: they did that you can find on Atlanta falcons dot com.

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: You can go to our microsite, which is a beautifully

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: done project that our UIUX team just completely put together,

69
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: and I think that these are things that the organization

70
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: are proud of. And also, let's be real, the Red

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Helmets are not going anywhere. I think that was like

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: the main thing too that I wanted to make sure

73
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: if I explained nothing, I wanted to explain that that

74
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: the Red Helmets are not going anywhere, like the throwback

75
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: uniforms kind of keeping that moment in time special when

76
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: the Falcons wear those uniforms, Like that was something that

77
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: even Bjon Robinson and AJ Trail, They're very much were

78
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: like they're the called throwbacks for a reason, Like there's

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: a different for energy that kind of infuses into the

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: locker room when we have those on when the Red

81
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Helmets come out, and we want to remain in that

82
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: special novelty almost So I'm getting to ahead of myself,

83
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: like go read all the stories, go look at all

84
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: the photos, watch the videos, anything and everything that you

85
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: could possibly want around this new uniform launch we have

86
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: on Atlanta Falcons dot com.

87
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, go check it all out. And I love what

88
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: you said about the alternate uniforms staying and remaining and

89
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: it is I think important to remember because as amazing

90
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: as they are to look at like they also are

91
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: associated with usually the best games are the most kind

92
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: of compelling games each season, and so that's weirdly building

93
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: this memory bank of every time you think about those throwbacks, Hey,

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: what's the Falcons, right? Aren't they like.

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: They're fifteen and three?

96
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: Yeah?

97
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, in the red helmets since they were

98
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: introduced as a throwback option, I believe in two thousand

99
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: and nine.

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: Yep, so the.

101
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: Obviously the current iteration was introduced in twenty twenty two,

102
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: but yes, there is when they were.

103
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: First introduced back in nine, and then there was that

104
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: period where they were out of circulation, came back, and

105
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: so in totality, there's a ton of success also associated

106
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: with those. So I think that the mix they have

107
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: right now with those is really working and it kind

108
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 2: of makes them feel magical. And it made me wonder,

109
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: you know, I was kind of looking at our opponents

110
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: because I'm trying to think, Okay, if those are special

111
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: and that's what kind of what you set aside, who

112
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: would you want to see that up against maybe next year?

113
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: And then I also kind of landed on this would

114
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 2: be just an incredible I think uniform combination they play

115
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: at home at some point the Cincinnati Bengals. You know

116
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: how the Bengals sometimes do their all whites kind of

117
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: zebra stripe. Yeah, have that as their road Falcons and

118
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: their alternate. Yeah, that'd be it. That'd be I think

119
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: such a fresh.

120
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: I almost wonder to we don't know who the Falcons

121
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: are playing in Spain? Yeah, Like, could even the throwbacks

122
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: in Spain be an option?

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: See, I really like I like the red though in Spain. Yeah,

124
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I just think I think bullfighting,

125
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: I think all that stuff. I'm like, having this this

126
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: like bright red out there would be pretty cool too.

127
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: I also really love I mean, it happened last year,

128
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: and I'd be okay if we continued to do it

129
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: moving forward, or continue to see it moving forward. The

130
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: Creamsickles versus the Red Helmets with Tampa Bay and the Falcons.

131
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: I think that was arguably the best looking game esthetically

132
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: of the entire twenty twenty five season. I loved that look.

133
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: It just looked awesome and I would love to see

134
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: it again.

135
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't go wrong there, even though, like on

136
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: the surface, I don't think you would think those two

137
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: colors would look visually as cool as they do. But

138
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: you're absolutely right, all right. So that's that's it about Jerseys.

139
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: But again, there's so much more content. If you want it,

140
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: go go check it out. And the other part before

141
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: we get to kind of the main part of today's podcast,

142
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: which we're going to have a matchmaking game in honor

143
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: of the draft to continue talking about draft prospects and

144
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: give you all an idea of maybe who the Falcons

145
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: what could be a fit for Atlanta with their five

146
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: picks toy. You are at owner's meetings to start the week.

147
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: What was kind of the news you got to talk

148
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: to Ian Cunningham, Kevin's Fanski, Matt Ryan also kind of

149
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: made the media rounds. What were some of the big

150
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: stories to come out of owners meetings?

151
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that you know, after two attack of

152
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: Alilo was nice, thank you. After he was signed with

153
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: the Falcons, we heard from Ian Cunningham about this being

154
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: an open competition at the quarterback position, and you know,

155
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: we heard more from Kevin Stefanski just about what that

156
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: looks like. And while the timeline for Mike's return still

157
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: isn't something that they're willing to put a firm date

158
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: on just yet for good reason. You don't know kind

159
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: of what things are going to look like in three,

160
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: four or five months time. But what Kevin Stevanski did

161
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: say is like, the goal for Michael Pennox right now

162
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: is to get healthy. The goal for Tua is to

163
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: kind of come in here with a fresh mindset and

164
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: to lean into this fresh start. And so that was

165
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: kind of one one bucket of conversation was all about

166
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. But I think in terms of just

167
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: like the newsiness of it, a lot of talk about

168
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: extensions and fifth year options. Extension for Drake London who's

169
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: playing on his fifth year option in twenty twenty six,

170
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: and then also the conversation of picking up the fifth

171
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: year option for Jon Robinson and potentially an extension even

172
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: in that same window. That was a big conversation with

173
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: both Kevin Stefanski and Ian Cunningham. And Ian Cunningham was

174
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: very honest where he was like, it's not at this

175
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: point in time. He was like, we have free agency draft,

176
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: all of that were really focused on those two things.

177
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: But as soon as the draft's over, like absolutely these

178
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: are things that are next on the docket to really

179
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: hone in and think about. But he said, but don't

180
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: think for a second that we haven't already been thinking

181
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: about those two things. So those are like the big

182
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: main pieces of storylines that I think came out of it.

183
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: And again, just like Ian Cunningham doubling down on he

184
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: wants more swings at the plate. Yeah, on draft weekend

185
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, we may go into the

186
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six NFL Draft with five picks and we

187
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: may come out with five picks, and like, we are

188
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: prepared for that to happen. But he kind of was

189
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: very honest. He's like, I hope that doesn't happen. I

190
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: hope that there are more singings at the plate.

191
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say they're at least going

192
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: to make the effort, yes, right.

193
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he did say, like, you know, it takes

194
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: two to tango, like you gotta have some other teams

195
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: will into play ball with you a little bit, but

196
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: that's the goal. And he's very honest and open about that.

197
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: This is one other small thing that you and I

198
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: may care about more than like ninety percent of the people.

199
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: Did he say that they were planning on having kind

200
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: of a second round of free agency meetings and oh

201
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: my gosh, this is they're making a lot of moves.

202
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's in it. It was kind of

203
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: I asked him this question just about, like, going into

204
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: free agency, did you expect kind of the level of

205
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: signings that y'all were able to get pinned to paper

206
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: on And he kind of said, like, they went into

207
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: this free agency period wanting to do what they can

208
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: hopefully do in the draft in years to come, which

209
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: is building your depth, kind of having guys who are

210
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: developing behind your starters. He was like, we want to

211
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: be able to do that in the draft, not necessarily

212
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: in free agency moving forward, but that's the cards that

213
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: we've been dealt in twenty twenty six. So we had

214
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: to go out and be big players in free agency

215
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: in the event we can't make anything happen and only

216
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: bring in five guys in at the end of draft weekend.

217
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: And actually, it makes a lot of sense now that

218
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about it, when you look at specifically how

219
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: they've approached free agency. It's if you're gonna take a

220
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: lot of the bites of the apple in the draft, right,

221
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: usually that's gonna be kind of your middle rounds. You're

222
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: gonna get a lot of third round picks. You're gonna

223
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: get fourth, fifth round picks like that's that's usually I

224
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: feel like where teams accrue those extra swings. Those are

225
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: kind of the players that I feel like Atlanta has

226
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: brought in with free agency. It's like these one year

227
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: deals where you're getting value for one reason or another.

228
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: They've had a flash year, but injuries or they have

229
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: had you know, peaks and valleys, and you're looking for

230
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: consistent like they are taking that kind of swing approach

231
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 2: in free agency. Yeah. Really, Yeah, it's really interesting. All Right,

232
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: that does it for the first kind of part of

233
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: our podcast. Let's go ahead and get to the bulk

234
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: of the which is going to be more of a

235
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: draft conversation. Get ready for the Atlanta Falcons twenty twenty

236
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: six NFL Draft Matchmaker Game. All right, welcome back to

237
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: our Atlanta Falcons matchmaking game. We're gonna go through a

238
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: bunch of different positions and and really kind of lay

239
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: out a few prospects that we think would be a

240
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: good fit here in Atlanta. Yeah, doesn't mean the Falcons

241
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: are going to take them. Doesn't even really mean like

242
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: they're going to go in the rounds that we kind

243
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: of throw out like this. This is all projection and

244
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: it's really just a fun way toy to talk about

245
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: more prospects. Yeah, that's all we're trying to do this

246
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: time of year.

247
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: Right. Also, I love to be wined and dined, So

248
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: as these guys are coming through, I'm like, show me

249
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: what you got, I will. I'm looking for a match.

250
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: As the falcons are there.

251
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: You go. Yeah, anything that we can do to make

252
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: sure that we are courting them appropriately. That these are

253
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: all the most eligible bachelors out there. And yeah, so

254
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: I think that which position or you may be most

255
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: excited to talk about which one you got your eye on.

256
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: I have been very I'm very excited for linebackers. I'm

257
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: very excited to present to you a couple of receivers

258
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: and maybe even some offensive tackles. Those were my two.

259
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did. We ended up being offense defense. I

260
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: don't think that wouldn't planned or anything.

261
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it worked out.

262
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: You know, we've got our types.

263
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: We do, and I love it. I love it. I

264
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: think it's great. I'm really excited about this. I think

265
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: it's going to be a fun exercise. Again, like, we

266
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: don't even know if any of these guys are going

267
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: to be on the board when the Falcons choose wherever

268
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: it is they choose on draft weekend. But it is

269
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: a cool chance to like talk about some different body types,

270
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: some different movements, some guys who specialize in some different

271
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: things and how they can be utilized for the Falcons.

272
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: If that's something that happens.

273
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 2: Okay, well, let's go ahead and get started. Toy, how

274
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: do you feel about the names Mike, Sam and Will?

275
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: Oh? You know, they're some of my favorite names.

276
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: Are they right up there at the top?

277
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think so. Well.

278
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: As a will, I'm very happy to hear that. But

279
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: I think I've got some linebackers might just be up

280
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: your alley. First up. Yeah, Jacob Roadguez. He I think

281
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: a lot of fans are familiar with him. He was

282
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: one of the stars of the twenty twenty five college

283
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: football season, yep, for Texas Tech. I mean, their defense

284
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: was just littered with playmakers. And he's a guy who

285
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: just really like stirs the drink. He's a straw that

286
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 2: stirs the drink right there from the middle, A real

287
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: alpha in the room. I think he walks in, He's

288
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: got presence about him, and he's just an incredible kind

289
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: of mixture of talents, production, energy, charisma, like leadership. They're

290
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: really when you think of the traditional Mike linebacker, but

291
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: maybe built for today's game. I think Jacob Rodriguez.

292
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like this thought, I really do, especially because

293
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: he's a projected second rounder. If he falls to the

294
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: Falcons at forty eight, I think that's a pretty darn

295
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: good get at forty eight. If I'm sitting there at

296
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: forty eight and he's there, it's it's very enticing, and

297
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: it's enticing because unfortunately the Falcons have they no longer

298
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: have Kaden Ellis, and I think that something that the

299
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: Falcons are going to have to try to do. It's

300
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: something that Ian Cunningham and Kevin Stefanski talked about at

301
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: owners meetings this past week, is that they understand how

302
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: much Cayden Ellis provided for this defense. Someone like Jacob Rodriguez,

303
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: to me, makes a lot of sense because not that

304
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: he does a lot of what Cayden can do. I'm

305
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: not saying it's it. You're never going to find a

306
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: one for one for Caden Ellis, yep, but you can

307
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: find someone who can maybe do zero point seventy five

308
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: and then you find someone else to do point twenty

309
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: five of that and then you got one, And so

310
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: I think, like you need some more depth at linebacker.

311
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: This is a very high end guy who I think

312
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: has a good ceiling that you can you can work towards,

313
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: and I think that you could potentially get a Day

314
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: one starter with him, especially if you're going and getting

315
00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: him in the second round.

316
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean that is where you'd be getting one

317
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: of the most productive players in college football over the

318
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: last couple of seasons, I think. And I just had

319
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: a kind of position overview similar exercise go up on

320
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: our website Wednesday afternoon looking at the linebackers and looking

321
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: at guys who could be fits in each round. That'll

322
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: be a series that we're doing throughout Aprilatorial will write

323
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: some as well. But I think I said that he

324
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: gets tackles like he's a hungry, hungry hippo, just like

325
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: just gobbling up those tackles. He had one hundred and

326
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: twenty seven two years ago, one hundred and twenty eight

327
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: this past year. But then he's also really solid in coverage.

328
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: He's very good downhill rushing the past or so again

329
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: like he's he's not kateen Ellis. Nobody else is right,

330
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean you can't still find a very productive,

331
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: good player in the middle. So I think he would

332
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense. But somebody else if the

333
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: Falcons if second round, that's little too expensive, right, the

334
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: fancy est states out there. We can't be going to

335
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 2: five star restaurants every single night, you know. We got

336
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: to be able to stay in and watch a movie

337
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 2: sometimes get a little bit more value in the fourth round.

338
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: Jayshawn Barram out of Michigan. He is one of my

339
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: favorite people that I've watched so far. Frankly, when I

340
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 2: when I've been watching the college film for this, and

341
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 2: I'm not a scout or anything, but he played linebacker

342
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: for the first three years of his career. This past

343
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: year he switched to basically edge defender, kind of like

344
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: Lorenzo Carter Leonard Floyd's stand up kind of that outside line,

345
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: but but like basically your defensive end. But that just

346
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: tells me, like, if you're saying I can get a

347
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: player in a linebacker's body with pass rusher skills, who

348
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: does that remind you of?

349
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

350
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: And Jalen Walker and Jalen Walker and so that's where

351
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: I'm starting to look at. Okay, the Falcons, this is

352
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: their flavor of unique, right, everybody's got their their type.

353
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: This is the little core that everybody else might be

354
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: turned off by. But it's like, eh, yeah, I like that.

355
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 2: I like what you're bringing to the table. And he

356
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 2: is just very like, kind of elusive when he is

357
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: moving downhill. So whether that is against the run, right,

358
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: and it's an offensive lineman, he can slip them like.

359
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: He's got that bendiness, that flexibility, that length, and a

360
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: nose for the football. So Jayshon Barram is somebody who

361
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: I would if you just kind of want to have

362
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: fun while watching a college prospect, go check his tape out.

363
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 1: Do you fear or do you wonder that like already

364
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: having someone like Jayleen Walker kind of minimizes a need

365
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: for this or do you think that he's somebody who

366
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: can kind of play a more traditional linebacker role, Because

367
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: I do feel like that's where the Falcons have the

368
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: bigger need because of what Jayleen Walker can do and

369
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: because Jalen Walker has kind of had this home at

370
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: Edgresher for the last year.

371
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I think it's a great question, and that

372
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: is something that I've been trying to make sense of, right,

373
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: is is it kind of what rahem us to say

374
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: with wide receivers where it's like clones, Because my thought is,

375
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: if you're moving Jalen from the edge at any point

376
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: back to life, then you still want to have somebody

377
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: that you really feel good about on that edge and

378
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 2: not always have to kind of shift what your front

379
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: is necessarily, Right, like Zach Harrison being out there, you

380
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: would have a different body type maybe to go to

381
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 2: if you still had somebody like Leonard Floyd. Maybe this

382
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: is a ease, right, Like, maybe that's where they kind

383
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: of have him pigeon in there. But I could also

384
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: see you taking two similar players and having that interchangeability. Right,

385
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: one is back there on that second level, one is

386
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: still off the edge and you can kind of rotate

387
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 2: them around as needed and what their strengths are, right,

388
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: So passing downs, run downs, Maybe there's some maneuverability there.

389
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's a great question.

390
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what project where is he projected?

391
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: Fourth round?

392
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: Fourth round?

393
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Now again I think it depends. He's a little

394
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: bit of Beauty's in the eye of the beholder, gotcha, right? Yeah,

395
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: because you team could easily say we see you and

396
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: project you at edge, could easily say we see him

397
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: project you as a rushing linebacker on the inside for sure.

398
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: So that's I like having that versatility in the fourth

399
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: round though, Like I think that is that's kind of

400
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: what makes a fourth round pick. Why why you would

401
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: be intrigued by someone like this in the fourth round?

402
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: Yep, it's like he's got kind of all the tools there.

403
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: Maybe he hasn't put it together at the level to

404
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: be like he's a first second round pick, but there's

405
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: a lot to work with there. Yeah, I like it

406
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: all right. Last one, this is seventh round projection. Although

407
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: again at this like if he goes in the sixth round, yeah,

408
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: not gonna be shocked. This is Red Murdoch out of Buffalo,

409
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 2: and man, he like it's kind of like that guy

410
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 2: who's just maybe there's not a ton to offer there,

411
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: but he's incredibly funny and makes you laugh every single time,

412
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: and it's like such an overpowering singular trait.

413
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

414
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: That like it makes up for so much else. He

415
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: had seventeen force fumbles in his career, the most in

416
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: a career at the FPS level. Ever. Yeah, that isn't

417
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: just that is kind of like some skill, an eye

418
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: for that, a tenacity, a kind of never say die,

419
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: I'm always punching for this ball. Jeff Ulbrick like he's

420
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 2: gonna love that. Yeah, that is the mindset that he

421
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: wants to instill. And if again, you can get that

422
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: with your last pick in the draft, somebody who at

423
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: the very least has a skill that. I don't know,

424
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: if there's a defensive coordinator across the league that would

425
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: be like, no, we don't really care about punching the

426
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: ball out right. Yeah, Now, some are going to stress

427
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: it more than others, and Jeff Ulbrick is probably on

428
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: that end of the spectrum where that is what he's stressing.

429
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think Red Murdoch's he's got like, you know,

430
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: the typical he's a seventh round pick for a reason,

431
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: but he's got the traits and the tools as a

432
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: run defender. He had I think at least one hundred

433
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: and forty tackles each of the last two years, so like,

434
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 2: he's got a nose for the football. All of that,

435
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: the level of competition thing, but again I'm looking really

436
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: no further than those force fumbles.

437
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that he's somebody that I actually,

438
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: even before we did this exercise and as I was

439
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: just kind of looking over big boards across you know,

440
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: different sites, he was somebody who every time I kind

441
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: of keep going back to because right, yeah, Like I

442
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of value in you know,

443
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: if you're looking at a Day three, a late day

444
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: three pick, or even a UDFA, this is somebody who

445
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: I absolutely kind of feel is a has like diamond

446
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: in the rough type of background a little bit, and

447
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: I funny, funny enough, I don't know if you know,

448
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: do you know who held the record for the most

449
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: forced fumbles before him? Before him? He also went to Buffalo.

450
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: He's also in the league.

451
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: Oh I mean no, wh Khalil Mack Okay yeah.

452
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, which I thought was like crazy crazy, like

453
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: full circle moment that he broke the record of somebody Max.

454
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

455
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyways, I I really like, I really like,

456
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: if you get to this point in the draft, you're

457
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: looking for guys who have kind of that like one

458
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: stick that you can really hold onto that they're proven in.

459
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: And for him, it's getting his hands on the football.

460
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: Because I mean that's also a very translatable skill to

461
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: special teams absolutely, So again, like in coverage, I don't

462
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: think that's where you want him, Like you probably want

463
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: him as an early down player, special teams player, what

464
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: have you. But yeah, that that is something that is

465
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: highly valuable in the seventh round. And then my question

466
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: to you though would be Tori, if they don't go

467
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 2: linebacker early, and that's gonna be kind of a little

468
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: element to the way that we've set this up here.

469
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 2: By and large, we've got prospects in a bunch of

470
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: different rounds. I've got one position where I've got all

471
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 2: kind of early picks, and we'll get to that. But

472
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: it really is like how this draft unfolds where the

473
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 2: priorities are. So, if the Falcons choose not to to

474
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: go linebacker early, what do you think that that says

475
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: about maybe what their plan would then be. Is it

476
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 2: Christian Harrison Channing Tendall kind of there with Divine Diablo?

477
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: Do they expect a J. D. Bertrand to like step

478
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: up or Troy Anderson, you know, to come back, or

479
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: do you think it's Jalen Walker? Like, how would you

480
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: see that? What would that mean to you? Basically it would.

481
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: Kind of mean that they feel confident in what they

482
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: have in the building if it's not something where they go.

483
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: Because I feel like inside linebacker particularly is one of,

484
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: if not the biggest need on the roster right now,

485
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: just based on again what Caden Ellis provided you. And

486
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: as much as I think that even Jeff Ulbrick has

487
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: talked about like, okay, maybe using Jalen Walker's versatility a

488
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: little bit more, I don't think that means you're pulling

489
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: him completely away from what he kind of found a

490
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: home in last year. I think it's like you sprinkle

491
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: in some off ball stuff with him, But I don't

492
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: think he just automatically turns into your starting inside like

493
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: middle backer, Like, I don't think that that's I don't

494
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: foresee that being the plan. And so for that reason,

495
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: it's like you got to find a starter to compliment

496
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: and divine Diablo. And yes, you do have Troy Anderson

497
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: back this year, who I think is kind of like

498
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: he's shown the highest like upside and highest potential, but

499
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: you don't know health wise, you can't kind of rely

500
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: on him right now because you haven't been able to

501
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: rely on him in the last like the last four years.

502
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: So It's nice that you have him, but is he

503
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: your starter? I don't. I don't know. And so if

504
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: the Falcons were to go through the entire draft and

505
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: not really find a guy who I think could start

506
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: day one, it's it's it would signal to me that

507
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: they feel like whatever they have in the building right now,

508
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: whatever they did in free agency, whatever they did previously,

509
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: like they feel like they can make up for that

510
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: position without having to draft someone. But I do think

511
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: I would be very shocked if the Falcons went through

512
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: the whole draft and didn't get an inside guy.

513
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 2: Yeah I would. I would too. Yeah, So who you

514
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: think they're Uh, who would you pick for him?

515
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean I would. I think I would go with

516
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: Jacob Rodriguez.

517
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: Ye.

518
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: I think that I'm valuing, as I said, I'm valuing

519
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: valuing inside linebacker very very high on the priority list,

520
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: And I think also just looking at big boards and

521
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: who could potentially be available at forty eight, I think

522
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: if Jacob Rodriguez, I don't even know if he'll be

523
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: there at forty eight, So if he is there at

524
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: forty eight, I'm like, go get him. Like that's Ian

525
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: Cunningham has talked about being kind of a best player

526
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: available type of guy, because you don't ever know what's

527
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen. You never know what your needs are gonna be.

528
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: Someone could get hurt tomorrow. But I think, because you

529
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: know how much of a priority inside linebacker has to be,

530
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm using an early pick on an inside linebacker.

531
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes a lot of sense. I think, Actually, Jared,

532
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: will you do me a favor and kind of keep

533
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: track of who we're picking here and if at some

534
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: point you take another guy second round or what have it,

535
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: then like let's let's compare. Let's say, Okay, these two,

536
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: who would you go with? Right? Yeah, if we hit

537
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: that point now we will at some point just because

538
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: again I got a position coming up that is basically

539
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: all going to be that first pick, because I think

540
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: that's I think a clear message from the team has

541
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: been run defense so far this offseason, so I think

542
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 2: these are positions that are really gonna help with that.

543
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 2: And Jacob Rodriguez makes a lot of sense. Although I

544
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: will say there are some there are a lot of

545
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: linebackers that I like kind of right there in that

546
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: second round. Josiah Trotter another one, Jake Golday another one.

547
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 2: So Yeah, it's a good position. But I love that pick.

548
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: I would be very excited to I would too.

549
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: All right, So next up, I have our next position, Grape.

550
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: It's the offensive line, and I'm going to start with

551
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: kind of a late first round projection who could potentially

552
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: fall to early second round. He's an offensive tackle out

553
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: of Utah, Caleb Lomu. I believe is how Lomu? Yeah,

554
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: I believe that's how you pronounce I love you. Yeah,

555
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: six six, three hundred and thirteen pounds. He's pretty high ranking. Again,

556
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if he will. I can't sit here

557
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: and say that he's absolutely gonna be there in the

558
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: second round. But again, it's kind of the same conversation

559
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: that we had with Jacob Rodriguez, where if you have

560
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: him ranked really high and he does fall to you,

561
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: absolutely you're getting him, even with the understanding that you

562
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: have Jake Matthews already, that you have Caleb McGary coming

563
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: back from injury. The thing about it is is you

564
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: can't go into this season and be like, oh, we're

565
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: good at offensive tackle because we have those guys back.

566
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: You have to start thinking about a time when you

567
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: won't have those guys on the roster because the facts

568
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: are what they are. Caleb McGary is ending his his

569
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: deal that he signed a couple of years ago. Jake

570
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: Matthews is probably in they not probably is in the

571
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: twilight of his career overall. So you're talking about over

572
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 1: a decade with the Falcons that Jake Matthews has been

573
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: the guy at left tackle. So you do have to

574
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: start thinking about, like, what does a secession plan look

575
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: like for either of those guys because of how important

576
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: that tackle position is and how much of a premium

577
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: position is. I think this is somebody. Caleb is somebody

578
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: who has that longtime starter upside and he's not known

579
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: to He's known to be a really good pass protector.

580
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: He has only allowed two sacks over sixteen hundred career snaps,

581
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: zero sacks given up in twenty twenty five playing in

582
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: all playing in twelve games, he only allowed eight pressures.

583
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: This is somebody who I think has been a wall

584
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: at the college level who I would love to see

585
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 1: continue to grow in that way in the pros. Your thoughts.

586
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit fascinated by the number of offensive

587
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: line prospects who like it seems like pass protection is

588
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: their number one calling card that being said, you got

589
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: to protect the quarterback right And so I think Lomu

590
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: what I'm reading is explosive, an explosive player, somebody who

591
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: can kind of get out on the move, is square,

592
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: can really stay balanced. And I think that is what

593
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: has made Jake Matthews so consistent throughout his career. Is

594
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: he is very athletic for a left tackle, but it's

595
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: mostly his ability to play with body control and never

596
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: really kind of get one way or the other and

597
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: he can kind of suffocate. So that's what I'm seeing

598
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: in Lomu, And so yeah, I think that has all

599
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: of the makings of a player who is going to

600
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: have a long career in the NFL.

601
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And even though like his his run blocking grades

602
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: and kind of his his zone and gap grades aren't

603
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: as high as maybe you would want for a late first,

604
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: early second, I think that you have to know the

605
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: situation that you're putting him in.

606
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, is that where you are trusting

607
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: Bill Callahan.

608
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: That's where I'm trusting Bill Callahan, and it's where I'm

609
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: trusting Matthew Bergern, Chris Lynstrom, Like these are guys who

610
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: are gonna be here for at least another couple of years.

611
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: Matthew Bergron has a couple more years, and Chris Lyntrim

612
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: I think is locked in until what twenty eight, So

613
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm not worried too much about that as he grows

614
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: in his ability in run blocking.

615
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: So now, the Falcons did run outside of the tackles

616
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: at the highest cliff in the league last season, so

617
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 2: it's got to be a part of the offerings here, right.

618
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: And it's not like he's not right, He's not like.

619
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: Running down there with his hands behind his back, right.

620
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: And I also don't think that he's somebody who would

621
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: be called upon super early. Again, you still have cayleb

622
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: McGarry coming back, who we know what he's been able

623
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: to do over the last couple of seasons. In run blocking.

624
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: You still have Jake Matthews coming back. This is more

625
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: of a hey, we're thinking about the future, and I

626
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: think you have time to get him where you need

627
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: him to be. And in kind of this running.

628
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: You're telling me that Caleb Lomu contains multitudes. Yes, there's

629
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: depth to this man exactly. Hey, I like that, I'll

630
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: draw it out of him.

631
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: So I'm moving on to our next, uh bachelor question

632
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: mark Yeah, I And this is kind of an interesting

633
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: thought that I really want you to play around with

634
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: because this is not a tackle. He's not a guard,

635
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: and I know that tackling guard is kind of the

636
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: main parts of the offensive line that everybody yeah. But

637
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: up next, I have sinner Connor Lou from Auburn.

638
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: We got a Lou and a Lou.

639
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, and he is a protected third round guy.

640
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he's gonna be there. Also doesn't mean that

641
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: he won't be there. I really like this thought because

642
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: in terms of just true sinners in this draft class,

643
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: there aren't that many, and Connor is one of the

644
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: top rated ones. He is has a PFF rank of eighty,

645
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: which I realize is like kind of right in line

646
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: where the Falcons are picking at seventy nine in the

647
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: third round. He only played I will say he only

648
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: played in seven games in twenty twenty five because of

649
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: a torn ACL but he's only allowed three sacks over

650
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred total snaps through three college seasons. I like

651
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: the idea too, even though you have Ryannosel right now.

652
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 1: We saw what Drew Dollman became for not just the Falcons,

653
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: but for Chicago in his last year there, he was

654
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: a fourth round draft pick. I think that you can

655
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: find really good sinners in the third, fourth, fifth round

656
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: that can kind of grow into the position and be

657
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: something for you. It's a difficult position to kind of

658
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: be in because you are calling protections and there is

659
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: a lot on your shoulders. But I think in terms

660
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: of somebody who has done it at a high level

661
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: for a good amount of time, You're not having to

662
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: move someone who's played guard primarily over the last two years.

663
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: This is somebody who has He is a true and

664
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: true center, and I think that is is valuable. Hey,

665
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: he's also from Kennesaw, so he's a local kid. So

666
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: I love that too.

667
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: He has a hometown hometown boy. But yeah, no, I

668
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 2: see so wrestling background. I love that in a center,

669
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: you know, like as many offensive linemen as I can

670
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: have who know how to wrestle and use like get

671
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: strength from a multitude of different body positions, you know,

672
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 2: and leverage is such a huge part of both of

673
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: those sports. I'm all in on that, and I agree,

674
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: like I think center is one of those positions that

675
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: you kind of I'd be down to have that be

676
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: a pick in the mid rounds most drafts, you know,

677
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: like if you can find one, and you can kind

678
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 2: of find them at any point, like I would be curious.

679
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 2: I haven't looked into this, but just like how the

680
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: data like skews out with number of like pro bowlers

681
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: and where they fall in which round for the center position.

682
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: But if you find one, it's so invaluable, especially if

683
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: it's somebody who kind of connects and jibs with your quarterback.

684
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: And so that is where I think a benefit of

685
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: him really being a center is he probably has that

686
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: like specific language down and does I don't know if

687
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: he checked past protections and called stuff for the line

688
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: at Auburn, but like that is a skill that good

689
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: centers have. He does, Okay. Yeah, However, I will also

690
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: that could be a strike against him because I do

691
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: think a lot of teams value that interior versatility, right,

692
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 2: So yeah, however the Falcons fall on that side of it, right,

693
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 2: But having somebody who can play guard and center, they're

694
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: the negatives that come with that as well. But especially

695
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 2: because you I don't know how they feel about Ryan

696
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: Noozl as the starter kind of returning that would be

697
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: one case is like where you positioning him as a

698
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: fourth round pick, right, yeah, third round.

699
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: Pick, but potentially fourth yeah. All right, So moving forward,

700
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: I have another offensive tackle for you, and he is

701
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: also a third round projection. This is offensive tackle Brian

702
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Parker the second He is a very interesting prospect because

703
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: some people had him rated quite a bit higher. Okay,

704
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: some people had him rated quite a bit lower. So

705
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: I just kind of took everything like right there in

706
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: the third round is like a grain of salt. But

707
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: I will say that so probably someone with a high ceiling,

708
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: low floor, kind of you don't know where he's gonna

709
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: end up. But this is somebody who has a very

710
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: in terms of just like consistency, I think between his

711
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: like run block ability versus past blocking ability, Like he's

712
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: kind of been very consistent over the course of his

713
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: career at Duke. I would be interested to know kind

714
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: of where the Falcons would value him because he has

715
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: been primarily a rye tackle. But there also are a

716
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: lot of individuals who, to your point about like moving

717
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: around the offensive line, there are a lot of individuals

718
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: who project him as a goal at the pro level.

719
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 1: So he has that flexibility across the line that could

720
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: be very valuable, especially for a third fourth round pick.

721
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Yeah, better pass blocker, run blocker. I know

722
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: you say he's kind of balanced, but which which way?

723
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: Well, I mean his run block grade is eighty three

724
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: point nine, his pass block grade is eighty three point four.

725
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: It's pretty close, right, yeah, pretty close. So the reason

726
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: I'm aska is, you know, now we got two lefty quarterbacks.

727
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: This is this is blind side right, So.

728
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he doesn't have to be like right tackle. Like, yes,

729
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: he did all of the like right tackle snaps for

730
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: Duke this past year, but earlier in his career he

731
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: was on the left side.

732
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: I just we're so situated at guard. And again, I

733
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,959
Speaker 2: like Jake, I'm not I'm not pushing Jake out the door.

734
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: So I think and I'm you and I are big

735
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: fans of Cale McGary, Like I think I'm on the

736
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: record about that up but coming off of an injury, right,

737
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 2: So if if there's a place that I'm slotting him

738
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 2: to kind of look at early, it's it's probably there

739
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: on the right side.

740
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I don't think he's a slot in early

741
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: like option. That's I don't see him as all of

742
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: these year one. Yeah, I don't mean, Yeah, I don't

743
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: see any of these guys coming in on day one

744
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: and usurping the guys you already have here, unless there's

745
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: an injury at play, and then that's a whole different

746
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: type of conversation.

747
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: Usurping makes it sound so nefarious, I know, right.

748
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, scheming, right, they're scheming against everybody. But no, I

749
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: that's that's what I want to like say about all

750
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: these I'm not saying that any of these guys would

751
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: be a day one starter. If all five of the

752
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: offensive line that we already have penciled in are one

753
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy, Okay, this is like these are future

754
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: These are future guys in my brain because of the

755
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: depth that you are, what you already have at offensive line.

756
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 2: Where where do they if you had to rank him

757
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: on the bad boy scale? I know offensive lineman can

758
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 2: be bad boys and and nasty in the trenches. So

759
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 2: which one has the biggest mean streak?

760
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know. I genuinely like

761
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: I've watched film on them, but I don't know them

762
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: as people.

763
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 2: Oh you haven't. I thought you we were screening these

764
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 2: guys before we were going to suggest, you know, eligible candidates.

765
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: I went on dinner dates with every single prospect that

766
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to present to you to I've.

767
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: Been I'm a career woman. I've been busy with all

768
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: of the new uniform stuff.

769
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: This.

770
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: You're lucky that I have you.

771
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: To vet the Canada the Bachelor's you're throwing my way.

772
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: Did I vetted them?

773
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 2: You were a friend.

774
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: I vetted them through all I could vet them through

775
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: without shaking their hand.

776
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: I love it. All right, let's do I want to

777
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 2: do Connorloo because I do think if the Falcons are

778
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 2: looking to add to their offensive line, centers is a

779
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: position that I can see them looking at just that interior.

780
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: I have nothing against Ryan Neuzl, but I think you

781
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 2: saw kind of the trans transformative impact that Drew Dolman

782
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 2: had for the Bears kind of last season, and I,

783
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 2: you know, I think that would mean something to add

784
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: competition there at the very least and kind of elevate

785
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 2: the skill of Yep, there he go.

786
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: Cunningham.

787
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: All right, So let's move on to defensive tackle to

788
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 2: Connor lou in the third round there at center defensive tackle,

789
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 2: these are all going to be second third round guys

790
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: for you. Because this is as I kind of touched

791
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: on earlier. I think I could really see this being

792
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: in play. Yeah, kind of the start of day two.

793
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, So, first off, we got Lee Hunter

794
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: out of Texas Tech. Like it, man, I've thrown out

795
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 2: a bunch of Texas I really did.

796
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,479
Speaker 1: I know, Well, it's because they they had well Texas Tech.

797
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: And then, like, I mean, I think that what they

798
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: were able to do defensively over the course of the

799
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: last year was just pretty pretty special.

800
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 2: I liked it. It really us. Yeah, Jared our resident

801
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 2: BYU fan unfortunately knows that a little bit too well. Sorry, Jared,

802
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: You're just catching strays this whole podcast. So, I mean,

803
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: Lee Hunter just like Wow would turn him turn on tape.

804
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: The dude is just wrecking plays left and right, huge, six'

805
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: four three eighteen and really kind of like, Powerful like

806
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: he plays bull in A china shop style as a pass.

807
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: Rusher it's basically a bull rush because that's kind of

808
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 2: all he's. Needed BUT i don't think The falcons are

809
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,479
Speaker 2: necessarily like With Brandon, dorless what he did With Rucu,

810
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 2: roro With Zach, HARRISON i, LIKE i like the pass

811
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: rush ability of kind of their interior. Guys to, me,

812
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: again it's run. Defense it's somebody who can eat up some,

813
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: blocks who can free up the guys behind, them who

814
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: can free up somebody Like Brandon dorlys to make some.

815
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: Play so that's where first and Foremost i'm kind of

816
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 2: looking at these. Options And Lee hunter is so strong

817
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 2: and powerful that he can control any block that he's,

818
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: against and he was really really impressive At Texas.

819
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: Tech so, YEAH i think that that's like the one

820
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: thing THAT i consistently find myself looking at When i'm

821
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: looking at defensive, Tackles i'm, like what's? There how are

822
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: they against the? Run like that is the one area

823
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: of this defense, that for as good as it was

824
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, five where it needs to take the

825
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: biggest step forward in twenty twenty. Six and this is

826
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: Something Jeff ulbrick talked, about is in stopping the. Run

827
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: and you, know based on the scheme that they run

828
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: with this attack stile, front it does kind of like

829
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,439
Speaker 1: it's a give and, take ye a little, bit because

830
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: you can you can't do, everything so you give and

831
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: take a little. Bit but if you have one person

832
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: who is the core of your defensive line who has

833
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: this like major upside in stopping the. RUN i think

834
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: that's worth, pursuing especially for a second round, pick because

835
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: we've seen kind of the early returns On Brandon, dorless who,

836
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: yeah a fourth arn, pick but Also rucuroro as a

837
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: second round, Pick SO i think that. THERE i like

838
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: the idea of having these kind of like young bucks

839
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: that interior defensive line to go along With Nate ali

840
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: AND i like the culture of that. Room And Lee

841
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: hunter seems like the type of guy who has a

842
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: different set of skill sets THAT i think compliments the

843
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: room overall very.

844
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 2: Well, Absolutely and this is probably a Conversation i'd like

845
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: to get into with you at some future, point but

846
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: a real case can be made that like build up your,

847
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 2: defense yeah a little bit in this this drafts and

848
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 2: continue to add and yeah, again We philly has been

849
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: mentioned a few times this offseason on these podcasts just

850
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: because of some of the moves they've. Made but there's

851
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: some smarts to. That, yeah all. Right next one Is

852
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: Dante Corleone godfather coming in out Of, cincinnati another second round,

853
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 2: projection and he is another just like space. Eater, yeah

854
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: he's three hundred and forty pounds and is just an,

855
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 2: anchor like he will clog up the, lane and really

856
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 2: you have to dedicate bodies to move, him to uproot.

857
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: Him you can just grow roots and stay planted right.

858
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 2: There and that is where if you are looking at

859
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: ways TO i, think maintain some of the pass rush

860
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: or like attacking mentality and coverage, options you then need your,

861
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: players the guys who are out there on the, field

862
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 2: to have that kind of speciality in the run. Defense

863
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 2: and if they if offenses have to dedicate two three

864
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 2: guys to one, player that's freeing up your other ten

865
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 2: like that that changes the math a little bit in

866
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 2: the way that offenses are usually looking to change the

867
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: math in their favor on run. Plays if two three

868
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: guys got to get one dude out of, there you

869
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 2: got a numbers advantage right. Away so that that's where

870
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: with me And Dante, corleone LIKE i see the value of.

871
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: THAT i think that With, dante WHAT i like is

872
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: kind of the speed that he also, has like the

873
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: quick area, Speed like that was one of the things

874
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: in the scouting report was, that like he's quicker than

875
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: his three hundred and forty pounds Suggest and that's something

876
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: that when you're talking about like short area bursts and

877
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: you're talking about like shooting gaps and everything like, That

878
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: like that's what you need from a. Guy you need

879
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: kind of a guy who's pretty twitchy in the. INTERIOR

880
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: i know everybody wants to talk about twitch and juice

881
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: on the, edge BUT i love an interior guy who

882
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: has a little bit of twitch and. Juice and this

883
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: is somebody WHO i think embodies that in kind of

884
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: the style of which he's he's played at the college.

885
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: Level he ran a five one forty, time which is

886
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: like when you have a three hundred and forty pound

887
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: man running at you like, that going that. Fast, LIKE

888
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: i don't know about, y'all but i'd be. Scared Uh

889
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: BUT i REALLY i really like kind of the, again

890
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: the like the twitchiness THAT i feel like he's.

891
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: Displayed, yeah now he's, much, yeah much quicker than you

892
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 2: would expect when you just see him walking about.

893
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: All.

894
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 2: Right next and last week Got Darryl jackson out Of Florida.

895
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 2: State now he's kind of late second, round, right so

896
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 2: second third round kind of range is his projection and

897
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 2: he is like just look at. Him look how long

898
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: his arms, are like how broad his, Chested like he is,

899
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 2: size and so he may. Not he's three, fifteen, right

900
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: so that's definitely not, small but he's six it it's

901
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 2: Like Kalays campbell, esque, right and that is where he

902
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: has just length that you cannot. Coach and kind of

903
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 2: one hallmark Of Jeff ulbrick is he also loves. Length you,

904
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 2: KNOW i think back To DeAndre campbell at, linebacker, right

905
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: like the way that he was able to get the

906
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 2: most out of somebody just with this this rare. Size

907
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 2: and so he uses that length again to eat up,

908
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 2: blocks to control multiple gaps and free up. Others and

909
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 2: that's really kind of the theme of of What i'm

910
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 2: giving you here in the interior is the ability to

911
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 2: allow others to operate around them because they are getting

912
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: so much.

913
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: Attension, Yeah AND i think a reason why kind of

914
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: you're seeing him more as like second and third round

915
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: projection is, because like his pass rush numbers kind of

916
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: dwindled a bit from twenty fourteen to twenty twenty. Five

917
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: but the other side of that same coin was that

918
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of evaluators kind of said that even though

919
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: that fell, off his ability to like improve as an

920
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: overall tackler, improved WHICH i can appreciate that in a

921
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: young guy who is growing in the game and growing

922
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: in the. Position and as you, said he's kind of

923
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: undersized in the traditional. Sense he's not three hundred and forty,

924
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: Pounds like he's not three hundred and you, know thirty

925
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: pounds whatever these two guys were before. Him he's three.

926
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: Fifteen but again talking about that length and kind of

927
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: you seeing that length as as you, know being a

928
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: better asset in run block or in run, defense like

929
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,479
Speaker 1: those are things THAT i think like you can kind

930
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: of be okay with one and not the other at

931
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: this point in time in their career THAT i like

932
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: this pick.

933
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 2: Too, yeah and again it is it complements what you already.

934
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 2: Have Like Brandon dorless getting eight sacks last, year that's. Awesome, Yeah,

935
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: rukeuroro like he's got so MUCH i think more to

936
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 2: offer as a pass rusher because of What i've seen from,

937
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: him and SO i expect those numbers to kind of

938
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 2: continue to increase here over. Year it's like you've got

939
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 2: you've got good interior, rushers, right so you can add

940
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 2: a player like this where some other teams may not

941
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 2: be in that. Position all, Right SO i know we

942
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 2: went sack around With Jacob. RODRIGUEZ i, know.

943
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: What do you want to? Do do we want, to,

944
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 1: like say one of these guys drops to the third

945
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: but we already have a third round In connor.

946
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 2: This let's like we can sidestep that rule a little.

947
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: Bit what would you take, though defensive tackle and or? Linebacker,

948
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: like let's say any of these three are on the,

949
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 2: board AND.

950
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: I probably would STILL i think i'd still Take Jacob,

951
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: Rodriguez like just because Of Jacob, RODRIGUEZ i think that

952
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: there ARE i think there's a lot of, actual like

953
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: really good depth a defensive tackle THAT i think you

954
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: could even if you don't get the guy that you

955
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: maybe want in the second, ROUND i think there's still

956
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: a lot of like really good guys in the third.

957
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 2: Round so let's just four they slip there's a run on,

958
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 2: linebacker ye, yeah or The.

959
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: Falcons get a third round, pick like another third round.

960
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: PICK i would go With dante Corleon is because WHO

961
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: i of these THREE i gravitate towards a little bit

962
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: just that.

963
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 2: Size, YEAH i think that is ignor.

964
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: It, YEAH i think it's. Good and then again it

965
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: was that that like short area quickness and the the

966
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: the jazz OF.

967
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 2: I like the jazz. Jazzy oh my, GOSH i love. It,

968
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: corleone welcome.

969
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: In all, Right so we're switching to the other side the,

970
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 1: ball very different position. Groups as we're just moving right,

971
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: Along i've got receivers for. You and the first one

972
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: is a guy that we've already talked about in this,

973
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: podcast and it Is Jeremy bernard From alabama and he's

974
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: a multi roll. Receiver projected late second, round so maybe

975
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: you could even see him slipping into. THIRD i don't

976
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: really think. So but fourteen, games played sixty four, receptions

977
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty targets for eight hundred and sixty

978
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: two yards seven. Touchdowns he played about one hundred and

979
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: eighty six of his total five hundred and thirty nine

980
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: total snaps at, slot while three hundred and thirty five

981
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: are out. WIDE i really like this. GUY i think

982
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: THAT i know that my personal opinion about wide receivers

983
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: is THAT i don't really think that you go after

984
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: a guy like this in the second. Round i'm. Not

985
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: i'm okay with. Interesting, Yeah i'm just, well my mind

986
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: is so focused on linebacker and, Dtackle Like i'm so

987
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: zeroed in personally right there That i'm get, HIM i,

988
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: Know but ALSO i MEAN i like the idea still

989
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,919
Speaker 1: of like what you already, have you already Have Drake,

990
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: London Johann Dodson bijon plays such a role in what

991
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: you do in the past game you still Have Kyle

992
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: pitts like you're you, know potentially looking at longer extensions

993
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: For Drake, london even THOUGH i think that someone Like

994
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: Jeremy bernard can Compliment Drake london's skill set because of

995
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: all the different things That bernard did With. ALABAMA I

996
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: i Just i'm not willing to trade off a like

997
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: linebacker or a detackle for a receiver in the second round,

998
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: specifically which is where you're talking about him. Specifically does

999
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:52,959
Speaker 1: that make? Sense?

1000
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 2: No, Absolutely, yeah it's where what like why you would

1001
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: be giving up and what you're getting right, Like and

1002
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 2: that's not even about the specific, Player it's more about

1003
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: the priorities roster building for. You and, yeah that's a

1004
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 2: totally fair. ARGUMENT i think it's valid if you feel that.

1005
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: Way i'm not going to tell you how you feel

1006
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 2: one way or the.

1007
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 1: Other how do you feel, Though WILL.

1008
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 2: I feel as though you mentioned kind of liking what

1009
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 2: you've got on, OFFENSE i also. Do but what you

1010
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 2: don't really, HAVE i think is exactly the type of

1011
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: player That Jeremy bernard, is which is think Like Aman,

1012
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 2: Ross Saint brown think And Kwon bolden. Think you know

1013
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 2: a lot of rams. Receivers, yeah what A Mecca guka

1014
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 2: was last year in kind of that third receiver second

1015
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:41,240
Speaker 2: receiver role at. Times really it's a player who operates

1016
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 2: in that inter immediate part of the field over the,

1017
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 2: middle somebody who can kind of win on the muddy

1018
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 2: plays a good yards after the, catch specialists where you

1019
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 2: can get in the ball and he can keep. Running

1020
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 2: so all of those areas are Where Jermy bernard kind of.

1021
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 2: Thrives so you've got your number one In, drake you've

1022
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: got a like mismatched, nightmare and frankly BOTH i Think

1023
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 2: jana And kyle a little. BIT i want somebody who's

1024
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 2: gonna work in between the nucleus of all of, that

1025
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 2: like kind of be that intermediary. Person and that's WHERE

1026
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 2: i Think Jeremy bernard actually does make a lot of

1027
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: sense for the way this offense is. Constructed but, YEAH

1028
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:24,240
Speaker 2: i totally think it's valid to look at position value

1029
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 2: with the. Roster, well let's move.

1030
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: Forward a little bit BECAUSE i have another option for.

1031
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: You and this is someone who's projected in the third

1032
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: round wide receiverer Malech High fields out Of Notre. Dame

1033
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: he is a bit more of a like OUTSIDE x.

1034
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: Receiver he's these, pictures, yeah just LIKE i, mean and

1035
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the nature of what like you

1036
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: are getting With. Fields is this guy who his contested

1037
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: catch rait is kind of like through the roof and

1038
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: what he can do against you, know some. Guys he

1039
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: can make some guys look look a little silly and

1040
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: JUST i think the athletic ability he's one of the

1041
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: scouting reports is that he's built like a power forward

1042
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: at six four two eighteen sounds very, similar yes To

1043
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: Drake london and What Drake lennon. Provides but in the

1044
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: nature of like finding people to compliment like this is somebody, who,

1045
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: yes has a very similar type of skill. Set but

1046
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: maybe that opens things up For Drake. Lennon just different

1047
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: thought for you about and Because Drake lennon does so

1048
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: much out of the, slot like kind of finding more

1049
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: of a, tradition like more of a guy who is

1050
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: like a true ex. GUY i like. That and then

1051
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: he went to The Senior bowl this past year And

1052
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: Daniel jeremia OF Nfl network called him the best receiver

1053
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,959
Speaker 1: of the entire week of. Practice AND i think, That,

1054
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: like in terms of, STOCK i think his stock has has,

1055
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: risen not exponentially BECAUSE i think people already thought highly of,

1056
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: him BUT i think he's somebody WHO i feel Like

1057
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: i'm seeing more and more smoke.

1058
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 2: For he's got some buzz about him. Here, yeah, okay

1059
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: to me this it's really. Interesting do you remember when

1060
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 2: we were talking To Ben solak at the combine and

1061
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 2: he was kind of, like who they get out wide?

1062
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 2: RECEIVER i think indicates a little bit about what they

1063
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 2: kind of want to do. Offensively AND i think you

1064
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 2: can even add another part of that wrinkle two With

1065
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 2: tua is like the Where Michael pennix likes to go

1066
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 2: is deep outside the, numbers on the, boundary kind of

1067
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: these like jump balls, downfield deep over, them like he's

1068
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 2: a downfield. Thrower tua gets the ball out of his

1069
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 2: hands very, quickly usually on a lot of these inbreaking.

1070
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 2: Routes so in a way like the Way Jeremy bernard

1071
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 2: feels like he would fit right into TOAs bread. BASKET

1072
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 2: i really do Think Malachi fields Fits Michael, pennox and

1073
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 2: you would just have this like The brazil of soccer

1074
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 2: style of football where you're just like we're absolutely kicking

1075
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 2: through passes and just trying to sprint and go downfield and.

1076
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 2: Attack it's Like North carolina basketball With Ty lawson running.

1077
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 2: It like that's what this would. Be is we're going

1078
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 2: over the top jump balls downfield and we're stressing defenses.

1079
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: Vertically SO i Think Malachi, fields like he checks a

1080
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,479
Speaker 2: ton of those boxes in that. Way it really is about,

1081
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 2: stylistically what are you going?

1082
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: For SO i want to stay on this kind of

1083
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 1: idea of like stylistically Because i've got someone else who

1084
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: also is kind of this projected OUTSIDE x guy who

1085
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: has a lot of outside stuff doesn't have hardly any slot,

1086
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: stuff WHICH i think that was also by. Design AS

1087
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: i was thinking of receivers THAT i wanted to pull for,

1088
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: YOU i really didn't want a slot. GUY i know

1089
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are Like zacharie Branch or

1090
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: die like that's how a lot of people are kind

1091
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: of like. Living yeah, right, Yeah BUT i kind of

1092
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: wanted to think about the wide receiver position a bit

1093
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: more holistically in the way that it works with the entire.

1094
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: UNIT i have for my third player That i'm going

1095
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: to show. You he's a projected fit round. Pick but

1096
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: he's kind of like similar in a way To malachi

1097
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: feel in that like he of just what he was

1098
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: asked to. Do and this IS. Cj daniels From. Miami

1099
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,760
Speaker 1: he again projected fifth round. Guy he's a bit smaller

1100
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: than what you would get In malachi, fields not by

1101
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot, though by a couple of inches and

1102
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: a few. Pounds BUT i thought what he did for

1103
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: in the role that he played For miami this past

1104
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: year was was something to take note. OF id THAT

1105
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: i liked the seven. TOUCHDOWNS i like the you, know

1106
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: fifty receptions on sixty seven, targets so high high catch

1107
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: rate for this. GUY i think that also goes to

1108
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: your quarterback as much as like anything else. Too if

1109
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: he's thrown it in your, wheelhouse you got. It but

1110
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: he has the he's very quick four point four forty.

1111
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: Times and then his player Compser luke McCaffrey from The

1112
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: commanders And Kevin austen From junior from The, saints WHICH

1113
00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: i think could be an interesting thought about placing someone like,

1114
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: this especially a fifth round, guy into this wide receiver.

1115
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 2: Core, YEAH i, WAS i was just looking up because

1116
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 2: his name was escaping me for a. Second but almost

1117
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 2: like How jacksonville last year With Parker washington in their,

1118
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 2: offense he kind of did a little bit about you

1119
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 2: know WHAT i like With Jeremy, bernard which is like

1120
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 2: fill in the space around, everybody like he on a

1121
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: basketball court right when you're spreading around three point he's

1122
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 2: like floating kind of in that middle, range the two

1123
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 2: point range and just finding the zone. Right so he

1124
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 2: has a little bit of everything to his. Game AND

1125
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 2: i like the even though we think about wide receivers

1126
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 2: and run blocking as like a you need to get

1127
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 2: closer to the line of scrimmage to really utilize, that

1128
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 2: if he brings tenacity as a run blocker on the furthest,

1129
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: EDGES i really think that that will help create even

1130
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 2: more explosive plays than you saw on the ground last.

1131
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 2: Time and so this is an interesting wide receiver. CLASS

1132
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 2: i do think when you get into kind of like

1133
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 2: the day three, picks there is value. There and so,

1134
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 2: YEAH i THINK. Cj daniels like he brings a lot

1135
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 2: to the table versatility, wise even if he's not dominant

1136
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 2: in any one.

1137
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: Area BUT i mean it's a fit round, pick so, yeah.

1138
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 2: It really kind Of, again a lot of this to

1139
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 2: me is going to be about who you're how you're

1140
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 2: building the, roster, Right SO.

1141
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: I think a big thing THAT i like ABOUT. Cj daniels,

1142
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: too and again in the context of potentially being a

1143
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: fifth round, pick is he does have like he's a reliable.

1144
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: Guy you, KNOW i even reading you, know when he

1145
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: was WITH lsu in twenty twenty four recorded zero drops

1146
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: on forty two, catches posted in ninety one point four

1147
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: drop grade that. SEASON i, MEAN i just think that

1148
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: there's something to be said about that as. Well when

1149
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: you're looking for a guy who is filling in where

1150
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: you need him to fill, in you need to be

1151
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: able to trust that he can do what you need

1152
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: him to do and let's catch the.

1153
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 2: Law, Yeah SO i Think i'm thinking personnel, groupings, formations

1154
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 2: who's on the field when the, versatility the flexibility that

1155
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 2: you can, have AND i think, again for what this

1156
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 2: year is and the momentum you've got on the defensive

1157
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 2: side of the, Ball i'm more leaning with going WITH.

1158
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 2: Cj daniels there in the fifth, round BECAUSE i agree

1159
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 2: with you that beefing up the trenches looking defense early

1160
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 2: like that makes a lot of sense and can potentially

1161
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 2: have the biggest impact you're one while also setting you

1162
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 2: up for a couple of years down the. Road so

1163
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: for that, reason with a player LIKE. Cj daniels in

1164
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 2: the fifth round he compliments what you're, doing let's go with.

1165
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Him, YEAH i love. It all. Right let's go to

1166
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: our last last.

1167
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 2: One let's flip it to the defensive side. Again we got. Cornerbacks,

1168
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 2: yay these are. Fun this is a good cornerback, class

1169
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 2: very deep. Up all. Right so number one for, You

1170
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 2: i've got The Angelo pans out Of. Indiana he is interesting, Because,

1171
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 2: tori how you feel about short.

1172
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: KINGS i don't mind?

1173
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Them, no, yeah okay you.

1174
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: Don't my best friends are short.

1175
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 2: Kings love it. Well The Angelo pons absolutely puts the

1176
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 2: king in short king because five nine two at the.

1177
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Combine but here's where this is one of my all

1178
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 2: time favorite falcons Is Brent. Crimes the dude could like

1179
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 2: jump out of The Georgia. Dome his verticals forty three

1180
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 2: point five one hundred Percentile, yeah like that's. Insane you're

1181
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 2: in a four to three five. Forty so you look

1182
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 2: at him and you're like physically, right not like jumping

1183
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 2: off the, page but athletically he's like in a class

1184
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 2: all by. Himself and we saw how Much Brent crimes

1185
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 2: was able to make up for what a lot of

1186
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,040
Speaker 2: people on paper would be. Like he doesn't check a

1187
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 2: lot of the boxes that we like our must checks for.

1188
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 2: Us BUT i think The falcons were pretty pleased with

1189
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 2: what they got out Of Brent. Crimes and the hope

1190
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 2: here is that D'Angelo pond's can be that kind of

1191
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 2: same athletic outlier in the league because it is no

1192
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 2: secret that teams are going to isolate a player where

1193
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 2: they feel like a mismatch can be. Had and while

1194
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: it's Great Mike evans is now out of the, division

1195
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 2: you do still have some other good Players ted, McMillan

1196
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 2: like jump ball specialists who they would try to isolate

1197
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 2: on a player like. This So ken his vertical make

1198
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: up for. That he's also a feisty like. Competitor, yeah flies,

1199
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 2: downhill tackles in the run, defense lays the wood on

1200
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 2: wide receivers right up to make the, catch so he's

1201
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 2: he offers a, lot even though people might at first

1202
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 2: blush be, like, eh swipe. Left.

1203
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah AND i think that WHAT i like about him

1204
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: particularly is even if you're using a second round pick

1205
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: on him and run with me, here BUT i think

1206
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: that something THAT i like about him is that when

1207
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: you look at what he also did on special, teams

1208
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: there is something to be said about even if he's

1209
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: not ready to go day one as a starter Opposite

1210
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: Aj traill on, defense this is someone who has two

1211
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: block punt return, touchdowns has genuine returnability THAT i think

1212
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: The falcons, need they need to. That that's a part

1213
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: of kind of the shuffle of special teams that no

1214
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 1: one's really talked about is The falcons return game and

1215
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 1: who's gonna be that guy for. THEM i like the

1216
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: idea of even if he's not again ready to go day,

1217
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: one there is upside in a lot of other areas

1218
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: for him and again elevating the floor bringing in. Competition

1219
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: it's it's not the end of the world for this,

1220
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: guy even if it's not a day one. Starter but

1221
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: STILL i think if you're for, me As i'm roster,

1222
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: Building i'm going into the second round And i'm, LIKE

1223
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: i need A day one starter and AS i would

1224
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: love to see that it be, him But i'm not

1225
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: entirely sure just.

1226
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 2: Yet, yeah that makes. SENSE i, MEAN i do think

1227
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 2: the upside is very real with, him and weirdly Seeing

1228
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 2: atlanta Take Billy bowman last year makes me maybe less

1229
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 2: like locked in. On, okay they have a type THAN

1230
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 2: i might have otherwise BECAUSE i Mentioned Jeval brick likes

1231
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 2: length right like that when you look at the profile

1232
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 2: of players he has got like they're long. Guys Billy,

1233
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 2: bowman that was a knock against, him right with shorter,

1234
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 2: arms but the tenacity that kind of like fire made

1235
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 2: up for. That AND i Think ponds has a lot

1236
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 2: of those qualities that would make up for again what

1237
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 2: a lot of people would look at first and foremost. All,

1238
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 2: right next, one we've Got Davison igbinoson out Of Ohio

1239
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: state fourth round, projection AND i mentioned. Length he's, long

1240
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 2: six thirty two seven eighths inch, arms and he is

1241
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 2: just kind of a son of a gun out there

1242
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 2: at at the cornerback position like he is. Pesty, yeah

1243
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 2: he gets into the body of wide receivers and then

1244
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 2: he just like works. Them he runs them into the,

1245
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 2: sideline he stays in their back. Pocket like he is

1246
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 2: pretty feisty out. There now the flip side of, that

1247
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 2: penalties have been an issue for, him But i'm always

1248
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 2: gonna air on the side of is this something that is?

1249
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 2: Coachable can a coach have an impact in this area

1250
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 2: of the? Game and that falls under that category for,

1251
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 2: Me so that's that is a. Factor it's not going

1252
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 2: to be like an overwhelming factor for. Me he's also

1253
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 2: good against the, Run so this is an area where

1254
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 2: like the theme for the defense this offseason in my,

1255
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 2: mind is kind of that run, defense and he he

1256
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 2: has shown kind of consistent development and, improvement which is

1257
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 2: SOMETHING i think this staff is rating, really really. Highly

1258
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 2: So davidsonson offers a lot, Physically he's got the experience

1259
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 2: coming From Ohio. State, like there's there's a lot to

1260
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: like here on the beginning of day.

1261
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: Three, YEAH i like THE i like the, height AND

1262
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 1: i do like to your, point like the penalties can

1263
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: be something that you look, at but when you're looking

1264
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: at someone who's a fourth round pick or even like

1265
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: potentially moving into the fifth, round like it's something that you're, like,

1266
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: Okay like you can look past that early in their

1267
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: career as they hone in more on their, technique which

1268
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: is something that it was, saying like he. Does he

1269
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: did have a clear cleanup from twenty twenty four to

1270
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five in terms of kind of how how

1271
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 1: much he was. PENALIZED i think that he's one of

1272
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: those type of players, that like his length and how

1273
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: aggressive he does, play can kind of like get getting,

1274
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: misconstrued maybe even sometimes not saying that anyone's like.

1275
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 2: He's like not getting the benefit of the. Doubt, yeah

1276
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 2: because he's.

1277
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Just so like when you watch him, play it's, like,

1278
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: well he's all over the guy like and you and,

1279
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: yes you can't you can't Be BUT i think that

1280
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: there is something to be said about that THAT i

1281
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: would need to like look more. Into BUT i LIKE

1282
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: i like him in the fourth round. SPECIFICALLY i don't

1283
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: know if we have taken anybody in the fourth round just,

1284
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: yet have? WE i don't think.

1285
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 2: So, yeah that wasn't necessarily a requirement of this, exercise

1286
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 2: but it is nice that it's kind of working.

1287
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Out BUT i, DO i. DO i do really Like,

1288
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: DAVISON i really.

1289
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 2: Do, yeah and fun name. Too.

1290
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1291
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 2: Uh the one thing is you, know you can't really

1292
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 2: take him salsa dancing his hips. Tight that's the main

1293
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 2: knock against. Him so you, know we'll. See but, again

1294
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 2: you gotta there's always some give and take when you

1295
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 2: get into day. Three last one for, You Demani jackson

1296
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 2: out Of. Alabama, now he is from a big, program

1297
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 2: which The. Falcons you AND i were talking about this

1298
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 2: the other, day like we need to see What Ian

1299
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 2: cunningham and his, crew what their tendencies. Are but in recent,

1300
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 2: years The falcons in their later rounds have tended to

1301
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 2: like players who come from these big time programs Like,

1302
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 2: alabama Like. Georgia, yeah So Demani jackson has that on his.

1303
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 2: Resume he's got kind of everything that you would look

1304
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 2: for if you were designing a, Cornerback like he's got good,

1305
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 2: length he's got good, athleticism he looks the part out

1306
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 2: there on the. Field it's just that his production is

1307
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,680
Speaker 2: never really matched up to the sum to be the

1308
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 2: sum of those individual. Parts, Right so he's going to

1309
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 2: be a very Quintessential like how do you weigh what

1310
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 2: you're kind of seeing in what he's offering you in

1311
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 2: terms of a package of a player versus how he's

1312
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 2: actually used all of that. Together, yeah and what it's.

1313
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: Produced that's kind of the main thing that you as an,

1314
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: evaluator not SAYING i am an, evaluator but it is

1315
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,919
Speaker 1: something where it's LIKE i, tentally just in my own personal,

1316
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: thinking it's, like you got to show. Me it's the

1317
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: exact conversation that we had last week about you got

1318
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: to show it to. ME i gotta see it on

1319
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: tape To belie leave.

1320
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 2: IT i.

1321
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: Can't you can't just say, like, oh this guy has great,

1322
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: speed great arm, Length like he's, tall he's, lanky he's

1323
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: like he can play so. Well but then over a

1324
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: couple years of recent, production it's just kind of like

1325
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: he's just. There, Yeah AND i think like that's WHERE

1326
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: i am with him. Specifically it's LIKE i can watch

1327
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: him play At alabama AND i know he's. There but

1328
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: in terms of like splash, plays in terms of like

1329
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: kind of having this like really high upside that you have,

1330
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 1: SEEN i don't know if we've seen. It and so

1331
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 1: that's why in granted we are talking about a six round,

1332
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: projection so like that's, Okay but If i'm looking at

1333
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,719
Speaker 1: these three guys in, totality he's one THAT i don't

1334
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: THINK i would even like look to right. Away it

1335
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: would take a bit more convincing for, me especially knowing

1336
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: how many needs there are across across the.

1337
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 2: Team, yeah that makes. SENSE i, mean, again with only

1338
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 2: five picks at this point in, time you need guys

1339
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 2: who are going to make an impact on the. Field

1340
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 2: is he just going to be a presence on the

1341
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 2: field or is he going to make his presence felt

1342
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 2: on the, Field and that's where you look at. It

1343
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 2: that hasn't been the case so, far even though again

1344
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 2: he checks a lot of boxes for what you would look.

1345
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 2: For so it sounds to me like you have a

1346
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: pretty clear answer in this you want To.

1347
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, davison for, sure there we. Go, yeah in

1348
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: the fourth, ROUND i think that IS i think that's

1349
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: a really good pick in the fourth.

1350
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 2: ROUND i love. It, yeah so we let's See, jared

1351
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 2: just send, it let's roll through. It in the second,

1352
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 2: Round Jacob rodriguez h third, round we Had connor Lou

1353
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 2: center out Of. Auburn then we also third Round Dante.

1354
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 2: Corleone who would you feel comfortable doubling up defense or

1355
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 2: would you feel kind of convicted in going? Linebacker at second?

1356
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 2: Round and then you would want to go offensive, Line,

1357
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 2: like how would you lean between let's Say corleone's there

1358
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 2: in the third connor lou is there in the.

1359
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: THIRD i would rather put draft picks into my. Defense,

1360
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Okay that's HOW i personally.

1361
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 2: Like maybe maybe we should maybe we should pencil that

1362
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 2: in as a as a bigger conversation in a future,

1363
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 2: episode BECAUSE i feel the same, way AND i think

1364
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 2: you AND i could really have a good conversation about

1365
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 2: that as to why that makes a lot of. Sense so.

1366
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 2: Cool with our fifth round, pick we GOT. Cj daniels

1367
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:25,719
Speaker 2: out of wide receiver out Of, miami and then fourth

1368
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 2: round we Took Davison igninos and At Ohio. State so

1369
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 2: if we're going to Say corleon Over, lou that would

1370
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 2: be three defensive players and a wide. Receiver feels about,

1371
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 2: right not even including a sixth round, pick, Right, yeah

1372
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 2: so who, knows we'll see.

1373
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: That. YEAH i feel good about. IT i FEEL i

1374
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: THINK i, AGAIN i personally am leaning more towards like

1375
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: the defensive guys in this.

1376
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 2: Draft, yeah you're all defense This, YEAH i not.

1377
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: THAT i you, know don't see the need for an

1378
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,640
Speaker 1: offensive lineman an offensive. TACKLE i. DO i absolutely. Do

1379
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 1: it's not THAT i don't see any for wide. RECEIVER

1380
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 1: i just if we're talking about second and third, ROUND

1381
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: i am leaning towards the three main needs of the,
