<v Speaker 1>the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. Always

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>good to have Bob Labriola on with us, says we

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>did in the last segment. Lots of lots of good

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff there from Bob. But we are now rolling through

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>our mock draft here. We're using the Draft Networks draft

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>machine and the first nine team picks are in and

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>it looks a lot like my my list of guys,

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>every player taken ahead of them. Uh is was on

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>my list of twenty Wow. Uh, including Andrew Booth at thirteen.

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>About that Trent McDuffie at eighteen, So Booth went ahead

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>of McDuffie. Jamison Williams went at nineteen. So who has

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>left off of my list? Devin Lloyd? Wow, it kept

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Kenny Pickett went as well, So there has to

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 1>be somebody else on here as well. And I'm looking

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Dax Hill, Dax Hills. It's if we go by my list,

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>it's Dax Dax Hill and Devin Lloyd would be the

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>decision there Um Yeah, seen as there at uh they

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>have him ranked thirty second. Again, if you look at

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>just they're off of their rankings. They have Lloyd at six,

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Excel is thirty, Scene is thirty two. So it's very close. Yeah,

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a strong case for all three of them.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Think their rank according to their rankings. Again, this is

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the Draft Network. Davante Wyatt is the highest rated player.

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I see that all the way up to twenty. We

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't get into the first segment, and I think maybe

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>it was to be a Monday conversation. But I can

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>make a case for Ritter at twenty. I'm not suggesting

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>we do it right now. I can make a case

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>for it, and I'm warming up to it more and more.

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that's he's in my top twenty, but

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I can make a case. Yeah, the other top rated

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>players still available, z I on Johnson, Tyler Linderbaum. I

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>don't see either one of those guys being Steelers Kenyan.

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Those are guys we wanted to get drafted. Yeah, George

0:02:55.040 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>carl Loft is still available, Johan Dotson, Crystal Lava, Cayer, Elam.

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>This would be fun, though. This was kind of worst

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>case scenarios. This kind of what segment one was all about.

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>So you want to take Hill or do you want

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>to take Seen? Hell? You prefer Hill to Scene? Yeah,

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm torn, So I think I think Seeing. I think

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Hill is the better overall, like just freaky player. Yeah, right,

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>If we're building a team and I have nothing on defense,

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I would take Hill over Seeing. But if I need

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>a strong safety, I'll take Seed. All right, let me

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>get the there's other trades available here, huh uh No,

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he can trade on this one unless

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>you by their package. We're not doing that, so we'll

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>just stick where we're at. So we take Dax Hill

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>at twenty. Okay, so again like we did last time,

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 1>we took Dax Hill. Defensive back in general is weight

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>on the list now unless it's a late round corner.

0:03:54.720 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Who's right? We're back up now at fifty two. Cook boy,

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>topic I'm looking at Dax Hill? Is my Andrew's a

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>racer when we play the Ravens Joku guy. You know

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be interesting because the top guy

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>still available at fifty two is Quay Walker. Wow. Yeah, boy,

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the back seven would look really good and the fronts

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>on too shabby either. Yeah. Let me see who else

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:30.239
<v Speaker 1>is available? Bernard Raymond's Bernard Raymonds still available? Uh, George

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Pickens still available, Chad Movement still available, Travis Jones still available.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Holy mackerel, this is a tough conversation. Oh my goodness,

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>MATCHI still available. Pascal from Kentucky still like. There's some

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>really good football players here in round two, as is Sam.

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>How was arid or to be different for me? But

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>how it moves the needle? But not enough over those names?

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Who I think Walker is the best player of the group.

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I agree? Is that just the way you should draft

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>and be smart and take the guy with the highest

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>grade might not even players, you know. Here's the thing,

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>so they have to pick up they have to make

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a decision on on Devin Bush's fifth year option by

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>May three. There's a reason why the NFL made that

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>fifth round option date after the draft, right, right, right,

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.359
<v Speaker 1>They're probably leaning towards no anyway. Yeah, well they are,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>they definitely are. Here's the question. Could quay Walker line

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 1>up kind of like the Cowboys did last year? Could

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>he be an outside? Could he come off the edge

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>for you a little bit? Maybe a little, But he's

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>not better than Highsmith or Watt Adams, I'm saying, is

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a rotation like, okay, so how you know he gets

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>fifteen snaps a game coming off the edge? He's probably

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.280
<v Speaker 1>he might be. He's certainly more explosive than any of

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the other guys that you have on the roster coming

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>off the backup outside linebackers. I've never been in the

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Steelers war room, but if this was how things were going,

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and he's sitting your pick forty five or so, and

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>he's still out there, he's still out there, he's standing

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>out like a sore thumb on your board as the

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>highest rank guy. I think you start to have a

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>conversation with Brian Flores and say your training cap camp

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>pet project might be coach up some pass rush moves

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 1>off the edge for Walker that he can that he

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>can play ten the fifteen snaps coming off the edge.

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>And because he's got the case, he's got, he's got

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the size, he's got the speed. I mean, I mean,

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>he could be a Timmins for you in a way. Yeah,

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>And remember Lawrence Timmins didn't play much as rookie year.

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>That was mcdomlin's first draft. This guy's every he's every

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>bittest talented as Lawrence Timmins was. Tims went in the

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>eighteenth through whatever he went that year. I mean, it's

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>rare in today's NFL that you see a true four

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 1>three with three stack linebackers. But I could come up

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>with a package you get all three of those guys

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>on the field. Well, again, when you're playing the Ravens

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and the Browns, and the Browns, he's probably gonna he'll

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>be that third lineback. If you're gonna play three outside linebackers,

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>he's probably one of them. You take a corner off

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the field, or you take a safety off the field.

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>So but the conversation we're having is all the wonderful

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>things Walker does. Right, that's easy. You know what's hard

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>is what am I gonna do with receiver? Now? You

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>know what am I? Well, let's take a look and

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>see what's still available at receiver before we make that decision.

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there was a couple of good names, but

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I hope there's eight good names. George Pickens, John Makier

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>still there, guys that might be their next round. Calvin Austin,

0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Tilbert, Kyle Phillips, One Dale Robinson, Khalil Shakir, Alec, Pierce,

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>bow Melton. There's guys there. Yeah, we might get one

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>around from now. We might, but we might not. We'll

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>get nothing resembling Walker and the round from now, right,

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>just in terms of difference makers and probably get We'll

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 1>get nothing resembling Pickens or Machi around from now. Probably not.

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>But if Hulbert's there and that's not that far off,

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that's not far off. Yeah right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>think you take Walker because he's the best guy. He's

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the best guy available by almost heading shoulders, you know, Yeah,

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know that there's a market. But

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>if somebody would offer you a fourth or fifth round

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>pick for Bush, do you do that after this pick?

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe I'd prefer not to give up on somebody

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.719
<v Speaker 1>gave up that much for it to turn into and

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I don't think they would go that

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.319
<v Speaker 1>direction either. So but quay Walkers too, just too good

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>to pass up. And you'll find Jack Miles jack knee

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>issues are real. Yeah, he's the pick. Okay, probably should

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>be done with defense for a while, I think so. Yeah,

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.559
<v Speaker 1>I think people will be going, what the hell is

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>going on here? Why? Holy maca, we're down into the

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>seventies and thank goodness, and there's Travis Jones just just

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 1>finally went. That would have been hard. We couldn't pass

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>on him either. So we get down to we get

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.679
<v Speaker 1>down to our pick here at eight eight four, and

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Leo Shanal is still available. Channing Channing Tindo is still

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>available traders and is still available. We should have looked

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 1>at that. They should have told us that five minutes ago. Yeah,

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 1>we probably should have looked at the linebacker glass because

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>if if kay Walker was still available, we probably would

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>have looked at that and said, oh man, there's seven

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 1>linebackers off ball linebackers there that if we get them

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>in around three, we'd be happy with it. Yeah, and

0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you're right. But Walker might go in the first round. Yeah, okay,

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>so they may have a first round grade on him,

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's too good to pass up. It just is. Uh.

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 1>At wide receiver, the guys available here at eighty four,

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Tilbert, Kyle Phillips with that one, Dell Robinson, Khalil Shakir,

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Alec Pierce. I like Shakier, Pierce, and Talbert of that

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>group in that order. Uh No, I would probably go

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Pierced Holbert, Shakier. I might go Tilbert, Pierced Shakier. So

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna take Shakier, right, so shaquires out. So

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 1>then it comes down Albert first. Pierce is similar to me.

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>It is it is if we if we're looking at

0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.719
<v Speaker 1>their rankings, they have Tolbert as the higher rated guy.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>He's six, he's a little bit well, I don't know

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>if he's a little faster, but I think Pierce is faster.

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Pierce is faster on a track, and he was a

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>track guy, the volleyball guy. Yeah, either is cool with me,

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.199
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very happy both are available, to be honest,

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 1>considering how the first two picks went, that's told work.

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we've ever owned him. We'll get We'll

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>give it a shot, all right. You know, small school guy.

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>They liked their small school wide receivers as well. He's

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a pretty well rounded player. We've given him a lot

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>of airtime in the last month or so. Yeah, South

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Alabama guys, he he uh played. He did really well

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the Senior Bowl practices. Yeah, he was on his home field.

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>That helps, um, But well, well, Alec Pierce just went

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>at so okay. I would still consider a slot if

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>there's one that falls through would as well. Yeah, it's

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of returner skills or a dynamic playmaker

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of the ball in their hands. You take that guy

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>here because you don't have a fifth round pick, right, Um,

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to look at the tackles playmaker

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>on offense as a why out to probably still be

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>my top priority. We've been heavy on defense, but I

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 1>would consider a nose So what what name would make

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>me jump out of my chair though? It knows? Yeah,

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the top guys available. Zamir White at A Georgia The

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>back out of Arizona State UM Jerome Ford at A Cincinnati,

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Sincere McCormick, the running back out of U T s A.

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>That level of running back. I'm starting to warm up

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>two more and more. But the way this went. I

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think you can take a running back with your

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 1>fourth pick. Hassan Haskins out of Michigan. Player they brought.

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 1>They're bringing him in for a visit. They had, they

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>had dinner with him as well. Okay, um, yep again,

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 1>if you don't take him here, you're not gonna get him. No.

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I get that. They got seventy picks before they their

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>next pick. So um. Defensive lineman, you're looking at uh

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 1>w A Rique from Iowa State, Agbania out of U C.

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>L A. Matt Henniganson out of Wisconsin. He's an end.

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Haskell Garrett out of Ohio State, another end type. It's

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>really no true, right, yeah, I mean if Farrell was there,

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 1>farrel still Farrell still available. Okay, I still might take

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a receiver here. Looking at the wide receivers, it's Vellis Jones,

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Danny Gray. You want to add some speed, you're interesting. Yeah.

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Romeo Dobbs at of Nevada. I think he's a good

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>player too. He's a little too similar to Tilbert though, right,

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>he already took him. Yeah, so you don't want the

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 1>jitterbug and the burner, you know. Yeah, Reggie Robertson out

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>of SMU as well, Jalen Naylor out of Michigan State.

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Danny Gray kind of stands out. Yeah, a little touch

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>of Gray, I think is the call. Yeah. I mean

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>he's a pure slot, he's super fast. He probably he'll

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>get on the field before Tilbert will. I actually heard

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>an interview with Jim Naggy today, who's in charge of

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the Senior Bowl. Yeah, and you know how they have

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the GPS, you are the bile power things on him there.

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess Gray was only there for one day. No

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>one noticed this until because he wasn't there that long,

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>but he ended up being the fastest guy, fastest recording time.

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>If anyone to senior boy. Yeah, he's ridiculous. He's ridiculously fast.

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I think let's take him and he's a return guy.

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 1>H So there you go. And he's three years younger

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 1>than Vellas Shones. Yeah, that's a problem. That's a huge

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I like Vellas Shones as a player. He

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>can fly to he can fly, he blocks, he does

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>all the like. He's he's a really good football player.

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 1>But he's twenty five years old as a rookie, Like,

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know his backstory, well enough that how did

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.480
<v Speaker 1>he get a super senior? I don't know. Yeah, he's

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 1>a super senior. And then he read shirt of a year.

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>So you know, that's just end up spending six or

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 1>seven years in college. That's yeah, that's the Blue Tarski plan. Yeah,

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>you were an overage kid coming into it. All right,

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>we're back up here at too. I spent about that

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 1>much time in college. Looking here at the running backs

0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>available in this area. J Seawan Corby. This could be

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a trick, yeah, j Sean Corbyn at a Florida State,

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Abraham Smith at a Baylor Jerry and Eliot at old

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Miss L s U Kid. There. A little birdie was

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 1>telling me that everyone is sleeping on the L. S

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 1>U Kid. Up his name. There's no L s U

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Kid available, Okay, all right, I'm just scrolling through a

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>list here to come up with the names for people.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>But whatever, I can't find it. He has three names.

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>DeVante Price at a Florida International, Zonovan Bam Knight at

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of NC State, Hi Chandler at a North Carolina Kennedy

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Brooks out of Oklahoma, Kron Harris out of Miami. And

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>we're getting down to the bottom. There. Ti Davis Pierce

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Price is the name I've been okay for, but fair

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>enough he's not there. Um, none of those running backs

0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 1>let me up, you know? Yeah, I mean I have

0:16:55.800 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a hunch that there'll be more intriguing running backs there

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>when the draft really does come aroundably. Probably think a

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of these guys are gonna get Let's take a

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:09.560
<v Speaker 1>look at some of the offensive tackles. We haven't done that. Yeah, Uh,

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Stupor out of Michigan, it's not bad. Luke get

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Key out of Central Michigan. I think we've owned him

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 1>before drafting for I don't know problem with that. Luke

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to Nouda out of Virginia Tech. Uh, Tyler Tyler Rabel

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>out of Boston College. That's Mike Rabel's kid. Um, that's

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty much looking here at that, that's pretty much just

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.680
<v Speaker 1>let's take a look here at defensive tackle position, just

0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 1>for the heck of it. Neil Ferrell is still available.

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I think I do that get Key is interesting to me.

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Of the old line names. They could be a right

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.000
<v Speaker 1>tackle for you down the line. Yeah, he also might

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>be a guard only when it might be a garden league,

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.400
<v Speaker 1>but he could. There's maybe a little bit of Ramon

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Foster there, Okay, more athletic though, yeah, Ramon was a

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>little bigger, yeah, especially at the end. But yeah, I'm

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.399
<v Speaker 1>just pulling up his number six, five, three, twelve short

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 1>our arms, the thirty two inch arms, Yeah, which is

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.960
<v Speaker 1>why people look at him possibly as he's he may

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 1>have to, but he he might be Joe hag And

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean that in a good way. Right, you play

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 1>three or for a long time, right and in this,

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, in this in the sixth round, that's what

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 1>you're you know, that's you're looking for. I'd rather Farell though, alright,

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 1>so Ferrell's to pick and that could happen, you know,

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 1>interior defensive lineman it don't you know, rush the pass

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.400
<v Speaker 1>or super well, that's that's kind of where they go. Yeah,

0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean if you can run and do freaky things,

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.640
<v Speaker 1>people love you. But yeah, you know, we're back up

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.919
<v Speaker 1>and get Key is still on the board here at

0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 1>just make good. Yeah, I think you take it. That's

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a gift. We'll take that. The back end of

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the draft treating us pretty well, actually back in the

0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.400
<v Speaker 1>draft being pretty friendly. Uh, and we're back up. Who's

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the best player available or do we just go ahead

0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>and take a little little cancer. Uh Kyler McMichael cornerback

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>at North Carolina, Sam Webb out of ms A Loo

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. Um Mike cal Right out of Oregon. We

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't take a corner corner. We did not. It's never

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a bad idea where we take an edge that wouldn't

0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>hurt either. Uh Otto mu from Minnesota is available. He's

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the other edge here. Um Michael Clemens out of Texas

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 1>A And m Amari Barno at of Virginia Tech. Hear

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 1>knows that guy that ran an unbelievable forty he hasn't

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 1>really have any idea what he's doing, but none super fast.

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean he might run down on kickoff story in

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the meantime, Fast Jerry and Elee DeVante prisons Onoving Night

0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 1>are also still available. You take a shot at a

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 1>at a seventh round running back. I think so. I

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of like Bam Bam Knight was made it onto

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>our triple take. He was a guy that he turns, kicks,

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>catches the ball pretty well. We're in. We're in a

0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty decent It was a four or five pounds. There's

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 1>some stuff there that you could there's some stuff there

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.400
<v Speaker 1>right in the average thirty yards of kick return, took

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 1>three back for touchdowns the last two seasons. Yeah, I

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 1>think that's worth the risk there. Take a shot. Yeah, yeah,

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.360
<v Speaker 1>give him a lot of preseason carries and see what happens. Yeah.

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>If he you know, he's faster than Benny Snell at

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the essentially the same size, right, and you might end

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 1>up with both of them on the roster, you know. Yeah.

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, So that's that takes us through the end

0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:47.399
<v Speaker 1>of our draft. So we took uh pretty well, I

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of I kind of like this draft actually, yeah,

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and this was just staying at our picks. There's no

0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 1>trades or anything like that funny business. We came out

0:20:56.080 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 1>of this with Dax Hill. We got Quay Walker at

0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 1>fifty two, which is a complete gift. It's a total

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>steel Yeah, just figure it out from there, right. Uh.

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Then we took back big on the Walker pick. You know,

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers never admit this. Steel Fans don't want to

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>hear it. But I think the realism is, folks are

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.479
<v Speaker 1>probably not winning the Super Bowls year, You're probably not

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.119
<v Speaker 1>picking first overall for the bammer Ohio state quarterback. I

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know that when in doubt, it's gonna be a

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>bad idea to just take the best player on the board,

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>no matter what your position is, and just bring in

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:30.000
<v Speaker 1>good football players. And it's really not a bad idea

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 1>football players, right, Yeah. Absolutely, I got Jalen Tilbert and

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Danny Gray with our third fourth round picks. Then we

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 1>got Neil Farrell at the end of the sixth round.

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.919
<v Speaker 1>Uh Luke get Key, the offensive tackle guard out of

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Central Michigan. He could just stick in the league for

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a while. Oh yeah, those those those those mac offensive tackles. Yeah,

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>just the small school offensive tackles. Just have a way

0:21:55.119 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Because again, he's another another converted tight end, right,

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you can move that something smart. I'm sure he'll play

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.640
<v Speaker 1>some garden camp, some tackle and camp figure it out

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:09.119
<v Speaker 1>from there. Yeah. And then Zonovan Bam Knight at forty

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.159
<v Speaker 1>one in the last round. Together we really helped a

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>return game presumer. Yeah, I think you're right. I mean

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 1>with with Gray and Night, um, those two guys will

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.479
<v Speaker 1>handle those duties. Yeah, I think once upon return, once

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a kickoff turn right, Yeah, yeah, that's good for them

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>on you know, getting hat on game day and all

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that too. Absolutely, and I kind of like that draft,

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's easier when you don't take a quarterback.

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I say the exact same thing, like, boy, the whole

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 1>package the puzzle better. There's always you look at the

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 1>puzzle and there's like some gaps where did I lose

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 1>that piece down the drain somewhere? You know, when you

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 1>when you draft a quarterback but you can't them, and

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a case for its definitely a case for it.

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 1>An important position, you know, right, Yeah, but yeah, I

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 1>just worked doubt kind of like that draft. But that's

0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 1>going to do it for today's show. So for my
