Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody?
Speaker 1: Welcome to move the Sticks, DJ and Rhett with you.
Speaker 1: Bucky is uh, he is out. He is at the
Speaker 1: HBCU Bowl, So he's doing some good work there and
Speaker 1: checking out some of those players. And we'll have an
Speaker 1: update for him when we get him back on the show.
Speaker 1: But today, Rhett, I mean, it's a pretty simple one.
Speaker 1: We've got a new mock draft that's out, which I
Speaker 1: will say I am excited because I thought the reaction
Speaker 1: to the first one somewhat team timid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so much so that. I mean, you send out
Speaker 2: a post last night where you had a member of
Speaker 2: the household, you know, kind of wondering like that, are
Speaker 2: we gonna up the ante here a little bit? We're
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna put in some rage bait into this.
Speaker 2: I never heard that.
Speaker 1: I guess that's a term I had never heard. It
Speaker 1: struck me as so funny. Yeah, my son is he's
Speaker 1: he's seventeen years old, and I've this is what happens.
Speaker 1: So give you a little peek behind the curtain. I mean,
Speaker 1: is incredibly long days trying to get all these players
Speaker 1: watched to get ready for the combine, and so to
Speaker 1: keep from going crazy, I can't just sit in my
Speaker 1: office and watch the video. I end up having to
Speaker 1: move around. So one day I'll just go out to
Speaker 1: the family room and I'll just set everything up out
Speaker 1: there and sit in the chair and then do it there.
Speaker 1: And then but then we have another kind of a
Speaker 1: living room area, which is where he plays the xbox.
Speaker 1: So I was like, I just got to get a
Speaker 1: new I got to get a different view for the day.
Speaker 1: So I went and sat in there. So he's just playing,
Speaker 1: he's playing college football with his friend online or whatever,
Speaker 1: and I go, oh, well, I just just knocked out
Speaker 1: the mock draft. Got that one's done. He goes, you
Speaker 1: put some good rage bait in there, like, wait, what
Speaker 1: do you need to start marketing for me? I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think I did on purpose at least.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, surely as we get closer and as
Speaker 2: more people get to consume this mock draft, which of
Speaker 2: course is out now on NFL dot com, I yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, like that's kind of what you know. Social
Speaker 2: media is one of the one of the things that's
Speaker 2: known for these days is rage.
Speaker 1: So I was on the lookout for rage. My rage
Speaker 1: radar was up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I look at some of the comments. I saw some rage.
Speaker 1: I was like, apparently there was a rage bit in there.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know it. You ready to rip into it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the first five with a quick thought
Speaker 1: on the first five, and then I'll open it up
Speaker 1: to you to give me some some feedback here. First off,
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, first pick. I was talking to some folks
Speaker 1: around the league and trying to canvas just like your opinions,
Speaker 1: guys who know people in the decision making process there
Speaker 1: and not with direct information. But the same theme kept
Speaker 1: coming up over and over and over again, which was
Speaker 1: this is new. You know a lot of times we
Speaker 1: hear new regime accompanied with a new quarterback, but this
Speaker 1: was the feedback. I was like, look, we're not completely
Speaker 1: sold slamm dunk quarterbacks here in this draft, which has
Speaker 1: been pretty universal across the board. They're going to have time.
Speaker 1: They're going to get time to eventually get their quarterback.
Speaker 1: And with a plethora of needs, like do you really
Speaker 1: want to look back and say your first pick you
Speaker 1: had to replace a year later or two years later like,
Speaker 1: let's just park one in the fairway here, Let's just
Speaker 1: get the best player available and then they can you know,
Speaker 1: hunt for a quarterback in the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: But they're where they are in their process. That was
Speaker 1: the feedback. So boom, I pump in Abdul Carter and
Speaker 1: I'll kind of give you the lowdown on these first
Speaker 1: five revenue you can, yeah, come back in so next Cleveland. Now,
Speaker 1: this was again mock drafts doing it from talking to
Speaker 1: people using my ears was Okay, they need a cheap quarterback.
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is dead things, he's not playing. That whole
Speaker 1: thing's a mess and all the money committed there. I
Speaker 1: had previously put them without a quarterback because the kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins connection was Tofanski, and then okay, that could make sense,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have to pay kirk Cousins much. But this
Speaker 1: was more like, you know, their roster with where it is,
Speaker 1: and if they're not going to trade Miles Garrett, there's
Speaker 1: no guarantees they're going to be up here. Again, this
Speaker 1: was a playoff team two years ago. They just need
Speaker 1: to get they need an upgraded quarterback. Can they get somebody?
Speaker 1: This was the phrase it was used. Can they get
Speaker 1: you know, bow Knicks, you know, style upside with the player,
Speaker 1: and you know what, I think absolutely cam Ward can
Speaker 1: eventually get to, you know where bo Nicks has already
Speaker 1: gotten to with the Denver Broncos. So it's a cheap
Speaker 1: quarterback makes sense. The Giants, this was a simple You
Speaker 1: just watched a Super Bowl with an electric player that
Speaker 1: used to wear your uniform, you know, playing for your rival,
Speaker 1: and this feels like trying to right or wrong to
Speaker 1: some degree of like, hey, while we're still trying to
Speaker 1: win and we need to win, we go go get
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford in a trade, which I'm not saying that's
Speaker 1: going to happen, but that that rumor is definitely floating
Speaker 1: around as a possibility around the league. You go get
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. Now you get Travis Hunter to provide some
Speaker 1: excitement wherever you want to play him offense, defense. He's
Speaker 1: an electric player. The Patriots, I could see them as
Speaker 1: a trade down candidate. Again, a team that needs a lot,
Speaker 1: a team that has to upgrade the offensive line. I
Speaker 1: think there's a there's kind of maybe you could even
Speaker 1: slide back a few picks and still get an off
Speaker 1: defensive lineman. I just don't do trades this early on
Speaker 1: in the process, so didn't want to do that. And
Speaker 1: then Jacksonville kicked around a lot of different ideas for them.
Speaker 1: I just ended up settling on Mason Gramm. It just again,
Speaker 1: new new regime coming in there, and it just feels
Speaker 1: like a fair way pick. So those are my first
Speaker 1: five Brett.
Speaker 2: I love it, and I think the more that we
Speaker 2: look at the Tennessee Titans and where they are, the
Speaker 2: more that abdual Carter makes complete sense. Right here, go
Speaker 2: get a win right now. I mean, like, this is
Speaker 2: a surefire impactful player that you're going to get with
Speaker 2: the number one pick. You're going to team him up.
Speaker 2: There's probably gonna make Harold Landry better. On the other side,
Speaker 2: you've got the two beasts on the interior and Simmons
Speaker 2: and Defandre Sweat and played really well last year. Like
Speaker 2: you've now all of a sudden, like you've got a
Speaker 2: unit like you you could probably win some games with
Speaker 2: right there up front. With that group that that feels like,
Speaker 2: all right, we're going to continue to throw some resources
Speaker 2: even though we've got some good players up there. Let's
Speaker 2: continue to make that and build that pozzosition of strength
Speaker 2: again similar to the way that the reigning Super Bowl
Speaker 2: champions have done. Makes a ton of sense. Cam Ward,
Speaker 2: I totally get it. So I guess he's only going
Speaker 2: to be mad at the Titans then, since.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he came out there and said he's going to
Speaker 1: have it against everybody who doesn't pick them.
Speaker 2: So that does make a lot of sense. We're one
Speaker 2: for limiting anger in the world, and that feels like
Speaker 2: you've done that right there. He's only going to be
Speaker 2: upset at the Titans, you know.
Speaker 1: You know what's hilarious, by the way, is that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'll watch games, you watch NFL games during the season,
Speaker 1: and you'll see, you know, Aman Ross Saint Brown, who
Speaker 1: can tell you the names of all the receivers that's
Speaker 1: right ahead of him, and he was disrespected. And then
Speaker 1: you hear other people talk about, you know, the Brady
Speaker 1: the group was the Brady six or however many quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: You know what you don't hear about the every year
Speaker 1: when you're in the combine and fifty players you end
Speaker 1: up talking to, you say, anybody that passes on me,
Speaker 1: you're gonna grete it. And those guys that don't end
Speaker 1: up being any good that have promised the league that
Speaker 1: they would be scorn. Don't hear those stories any Yeah,
Speaker 1: as if it's the only time that that's ever happened,
Speaker 1: is those plays that hit it big.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And then quickly on Travis Hunter, I
Speaker 2: totally understand that selection there, but I would also say, like,
Speaker 2: look at you know, you've had cam Ward and Shador
Speaker 2: Sanders attached in your top fifty, right. I believe at
Speaker 2: ten and eleven would certainly understand if that's the way
Speaker 2: the Giants choose to go is to go get a
Speaker 2: quarterback there, you know, especially as it like you look
Speaker 2: further and look, we've all heard the Matthew Stafford rumors.
Speaker 2: Certainly we also like, look back at how dang close
Speaker 2: the Rams word playing a Super Bowl? They are really close?
Speaker 2: Do they want to really start over a quarterback? I
Speaker 2: feel like is a is a legitimate They could have nip.
Speaker 1: That in the bud though. Yeah, they could have nipped
Speaker 1: that conversation right in the bud right right when they
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, when they were given
Speaker 1: the opportunity to say he's not going anywhere. Never heard
Speaker 1: those words.
Speaker 2: And as it stands now, would certainly love to see
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter at times with Malik Neighbors. I would certainly
Speaker 2: love to see him.
Speaker 1: Think about that, if you're a Giants fan and and
Speaker 1: the pain and anguish you just had watching the Eagles,
Speaker 1: and now you're you get to come and you got
Speaker 1: your first mini camp and it's Matthew Stafford throwing the
Speaker 1: ball to a little bit to Travis Hunter and a
Speaker 1: lot to Malik Neighbors, and all of a sudden, it's like, whoa,
Speaker 1: we were back.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the fan apathy certainly set in there,
Speaker 2: and and apathy quickly turned to anger, you know with
Speaker 2: the Saquon Barkley things. So you're right, you know what
Speaker 2: at number four, like, don't even mess around with the trades.
Speaker 2: It's like the most sensible pick in the entire draft.
Speaker 1: They need they need offensive line. And again it's like
Speaker 1: you can look at I kind of come back to
Speaker 1: the charge Messing last year, the Chargers member last year.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, they could tie end, they could take
Speaker 1: your receiver, they could do it. It's like we're going
Speaker 1: to take the best offensive line, go make that unit better.
Speaker 2: Just take they got to have it. Love love Mason
Speaker 2: Graham there as well, just an impactful player that I
Speaker 2: don't know that we've really seen, you know, in the interior.
Speaker 2: They tried it with Eric Armstead, you know, Kalaias Campbell
Speaker 2: before that, and this feels like a nice, homegrown way
Speaker 2: to not spend one hundred million dollars on a free
Speaker 2: agent defense.
Speaker 1: Can I give him. I put my my thought on
Speaker 1: Mason though, is that he is one of my candidates,
Speaker 1: and again I have him highly high rateed in my
Speaker 1: top fifty. He is one of the candidates keep an
Speaker 1: eye on in the spring who can take on some
Speaker 1: water in the spring. Because he's not going to be long,
Speaker 1: He's going to get measured. You're going to see he's
Speaker 1: got short arms. He doesn't have a great body compared
Speaker 1: to some of these other guys you're going to look
Speaker 1: at in this class. He doesn't really pass the eye test.
Speaker 1: And I trust me, I know a firsthand because I
Speaker 1: went and saw him play live and I watched warm
Speaker 1: ups and I went, oh, my gosh, I am way
Speaker 1: too high on this kid. Yeah, I did not know.
Speaker 1: I thought it was something and then then I then
Speaker 1: I watched the game and I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he's good. He's fine, but it's not going to be
Speaker 1: He's not made for the spring.
Speaker 2: No. No, that's a good point. That's a good way
Speaker 2: to put it. We have those every year.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I almost feel like this is
Speaker 1: where the fun starts. And that's why it's time for
Speaker 1: the lead block presented by T Mobile for Business. Football
Speaker 1: needs a network willing to go the extra yard. So
Speaker 1: do you go further with T Mobile for Business? And
Speaker 1: this is where we get to the Raiders where I
Speaker 1: think now, it's like it's like a it's like being
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and the freeways can go in like
Speaker 1: you know, eight different directions, and it kind of changes
Speaker 1: what happens from here going forward. I did the same
Speaker 1: thing I did in the first one. I put Shudoor
Speaker 1: Sanders there, Chip Kelly coming in there. You think about
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly. You know the offense they ran kind of
Speaker 1: a run heavy offense at Ohio State, which people don't
Speaker 1: think of because of all the receivers they ran the football.
Speaker 1: Well there, they are committed to it. They're going to
Speaker 1: play with tight ends. It's not and ship even there
Speaker 1: was an article about this where Chip Even talked about
Speaker 1: this is not his first iteration of offense that he
Speaker 1: introduced when he was in the NFL. So it's a
Speaker 1: little more physical approach, but then an emphasis on decision
Speaker 1: making at quarterback. And I think Shadoor accurate, you know,
Speaker 1: good decision maker. They're going to be out there and
Speaker 1: playing twelve personnel. I think he you know, I for
Speaker 1: someone who played in like a spread set up at Colorado,
Speaker 1: I think Shador he fits that that style. Just let's
Speaker 1: get work on a little bit quicker.
Speaker 2: But that's why I have a six and look and
Speaker 2: that is the SEC. That is a sexy pick right there.
Speaker 2: I mean, it feels like there's just like there's a
Speaker 2: marriage of philosophy and like style Allen like edge, and
Speaker 2: it all kind of fits right there. With the Raiders,
Speaker 2: I could certainly see that. I could certainly see them,
Speaker 2: you know, wanting to again kind of follow suit with
Speaker 2: the Patriots and continue to stack on the offensive line.
Speaker 2: I could see that. I don't know if there's a
Speaker 2: player that fits that, Bill Kelvin Banks probably the next one.
Speaker 2: Probably a little high for an interior player like Memboo.
Speaker 2: But will or Or from Alabama Booker right, yeah, but
Speaker 2: I yeah, I mean that's that's a fun one. That's
Speaker 2: the one we're going to see a lot over the
Speaker 2: course of the next couple of weeks. I do feel
Speaker 2: like the one thing that we could we feel pretty
Speaker 2: good about is that they're not going to go get
Speaker 2: Tyler Warren at number six.
Speaker 1: Or or or are they Let's let's go thirteen personnel.
Speaker 1: Let's cook, let's cook.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Next I had speaking of Tyler Warren, Tyler Warren again,
Speaker 1: I think the second time in a row going to
Speaker 1: the Jets. When I was looking at the Jets stuff,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm just looking at them and from last year.
Speaker 1: I was pulling up their numbers here, so thirty first
Speaker 1: rushing and yards per game last year offensively tie for
Speaker 1: twenty fourth points per game. And I'm looking at what
Speaker 1: they have and you're going to have to make over
Speaker 1: the receiver room a little bit, because you know you're
Speaker 1: gonna have all the Rogers friends, friends of friends of
Speaker 1: Aaron are going to be gone, so you and but
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there going, Okay, well you need a receiver
Speaker 1: and you need to help the run game. Well, the
Speaker 1: backs aren't the issue. I think they've got three quality
Speaker 1: NFL backs. Oh yeah, so and the offensive line, I
Speaker 1: think They've made some improvements there. They need to stay
Speaker 1: healthy obviously, but I'm like, who helps both, Like, who's
Speaker 1: a guy that can come in here and help the
Speaker 1: run game as well as give you another weapon in
Speaker 1: the passing game. And I'm like, that's that's Tyler Warren Man.
Speaker 1: He helped both the run game and the pass game.
Speaker 2: And look, they have not had major production at the
Speaker 2: tight end spot in a while, right, and it just
Speaker 2: and look at look at what you know, you go
Speaker 2: back to where Aaron Glenn comes from Detroit. Look what
Speaker 2: Sam Laporta did for that offense in Detroit too. You know,
Speaker 2: a little bit different players here, but you know, laport
Speaker 2: I can't do everything that that Warren does.
Speaker 1: But it's a bit, it's a it's a bite your
Speaker 1: knee caps type pick too.
Speaker 2: Oh with that question, you know, Yeah, if you're trying
Speaker 2: to instill some culture and some and some toughness and
Speaker 2: some edge and some you know, like foundational type building
Speaker 2: there in that in that franchise, that's a winner. Pick
Speaker 2: at seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's why I went there, Carolina. I even
Speaker 1: mentioned this in the blurb. They're a prime trade trade
Speaker 1: candidate as well.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The nice thing you know, it sucks when you have
Speaker 1: a lot of needs on, you know, on your team.
Speaker 1: The nice thing is you can afford to slide around
Speaker 1: and move around a little bit because you're STI gonna
Speaker 1: get somebody that's gonna help you out right, You're.
Speaker 2: Trying to drop in a championship team player too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think with with them, I think trying
Speaker 1: to again find guys that have won. I think when
Speaker 1: you've had a team that hasn't won a lot lately,
Speaker 1: I do think there is something to that. You know,
Speaker 1: Bryce has been through the fire a little bit, but
Speaker 1: he came out of it stronger. He's got a winning background,
Speaker 1: winning pedigree. Now we go get somebody on the other
Speaker 1: side of the ball here in Jalen Walker, who's won
Speaker 1: a bunch, who's dynamic and explosive, a versatile piece there.
Speaker 1: I think it kind of gives him a chess piece,
Speaker 1: you know, for that group. And get Derek Brown back healthy,
Speaker 1: this defense could take a major step forward next year.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I look at the defense that lost Frankie Luvu, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, and longs for the days of Luke, Keithley
Speaker 2: and Jack Thompson, you know, at the second level and
Speaker 2: that John Beeson, let's go Yeah, sure, let's go line
Speaker 2: it up. That would certainly make sense. Your next one, though,
Speaker 2: is the one that that really caught you know, raised
Speaker 2: my eyebrows a little bit and got me excited. Yep.
Speaker 1: So the next one probably the earliest you've seen Mike
Speaker 1: Green from Marshall go uh and the tape is really good,
Speaker 1: the production is excellent. Goes down to the Senior Bowl,
Speaker 1: had a really really good week down there before he
Speaker 1: got his Senior Bowl diploma and graduated in the middle
Speaker 1: of the week. But I I, you know, Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: being the being the coach there, My my thought was, well,
Speaker 1: what did he just witness up close in person? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he witnessed defensive destruction based off of defensive line play.
Speaker 1: So it feels like D line's a way they could
Speaker 1: go there. Now, mikel Williams is a is an interesting one.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sleep on that pick there, but this gives
Speaker 1: him a proven pass rusher with production.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. And again that also feels like
Speaker 2: a play where again with Kellen's influence and with his
Speaker 2: background again seeing you know, seeing what worked and what won.
Speaker 2: It wasn't just D line, right, it was O line two.
Speaker 2: And do you feel good enough about Trevor Penning at
Speaker 2: right tackle or do you feel like there's somebody in
Speaker 2: that range that could upgrade where you're at right there,
Speaker 2: knowing the issues that Ryan Ramcheck has had, and so
Speaker 2: I could I could see that being a piece. I'm
Speaker 2: also kind of curious DJ, you know, because and I
Speaker 2: know your top fifty is how you grade these players?
Speaker 2: How do you evaluate them if you're watching the tape,
Speaker 2: your mock drafts are often things you're hearing, right, and
Speaker 2: so let's just go back to your top fifty. You've
Speaker 2: got Mike Green, I believe a twenty twenty three, so
Speaker 2: yet James Pierce from Tennessee a little bit ahead and
Speaker 2: Derek Harmon from Oregon obviously different player interior player. Don't
Speaker 2: know if the values there, but when you when you
Speaker 2: look at Green and Pierce, let's say, what kind of
Speaker 2: rings differently about Green?
Speaker 1: Well that was that was pre seniorble too. That's so
Speaker 1: that's the first iteration. So we've had a chance to
Speaker 1: see Green go up against good competition and be pretty dominant.
Speaker 2: So he's up.
Speaker 1: He got he got a little bump, he got a
Speaker 1: little bump, coming out of the Senior Bowl. That's kind
Speaker 1: of what that was. And we'll see what happens with Pierce.
Speaker 1: You know, teams get a chance to visit with him
Speaker 1: and you know see how they are with him. But
Speaker 1: he's somebody that's definitely a dynamic talent. So yeah, that's
Speaker 1: uh that that's all going to shake out in the wash.
Speaker 1: But the Mike Green bump, really we see it every year.
Speaker 1: We saw it last year, quiny and Mitchell was the
Speaker 1: guy last year who made that, who got the bump.
Speaker 1: So I think you'll see a nice bump there.
Speaker 2: Teaser another Toledo defensive player. And how about that, I
Speaker 2: know we'll get there. How about let's get to number
Speaker 2: ten Chicago Kelvin Banks. Offensive line wise, I know interiors
Speaker 2: to focus and I know Banks played tackle. He could
Speaker 2: play inside if you needed him to, no problem. And
Speaker 2: I think he's personally an upgrade form at tackle. But
Speaker 2: you know, I kind of again, I don't want to
Speaker 2: mention the Eagles five million times here, but it's hard
Speaker 2: not to win with what we just.
Speaker 1: Saw and and how many how many of those guys
Speaker 1: on that offensive line. Beckton was a tackle who moved
Speaker 1: to guard Dickerson played center. He can play guard. He's played,
Speaker 1: he can play anywhere along the offensive line. Jurgen's started
Speaker 1: at guard while he had to wait to get his
Speaker 1: I mean, like this whole like we got to be
Speaker 1: locked in. He is this and only this. Get five
Speaker 1: talented versatile offensive lineman and then.
Speaker 2: Get away if you get tired of mentioning the Eagles
Speaker 2: just mentioned the Bucks in the COVID year. Very similar situation. Yeah,
Speaker 2: although not all draft picks, but I mean it's all
Speaker 2: it's all there for you. Offensive line, defensive line.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question. All right, let's do five more and
Speaker 1: then we'll take a break here. So eleven Will Johnson
Speaker 1: to the Niners like that. I'm curious on him because
Speaker 1: he is a tough one.
Speaker 2: That's the first corner off the board, I guess.
Speaker 1: But he's not. Yeah, with Travis Hunter, he's not. I
Speaker 1: actually have baron over him as a player on my
Speaker 1: top fifty. I think you're going to see some splits
Speaker 1: on Will Johnson and the challenges. The tape was good
Speaker 1: in twenty three to go along with all the traits
Speaker 1: and you know, production, all that stuff. This year, the
Speaker 1: tape was not good.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: There was very very up and downed too. Yes, I
Speaker 1: mean so, and then I'm you know, maybe he'll maybe
Speaker 1: he'll surprise me. I'm curious to see what he runs.
Speaker 1: I do have some concerns about him deep speed wise,
Speaker 1: so couple with not having a lot of tape and
Speaker 1: not having a lot of great tape this year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some tackling concerns and questioning the deep speed, and maybe
Speaker 1: he goes out and surprises me, and he he runs
Speaker 1: four fours in in India and he's gonna go good.
Speaker 1: He's gonna go all the way up there. Nonetheless, that
Speaker 1: was a fit to me with how they play in
Speaker 1: San France.
Speaker 2: But that's also a great way to look at the
Speaker 2: forty two, right, I mean, it's look a lot of
Speaker 2: it is entertainment value for us when we get there.
Speaker 2: We're and we're watching it and we're going through the
Speaker 2: simulcams and all that stuff on NFL Network. But for
Speaker 2: a player like that, it actually can be a real
Speaker 2: positive metric depending on where we see that long speed.
Speaker 1: It's the corners, and I'll say this is the comment
Speaker 1: every year, corners the forty matters more than any other position.
Speaker 1: And now the overall importance of the forty has diminished
Speaker 1: greatly because the GPS information that we have, but it's
Speaker 1: still at that position. It carries weight, so we'll see there.
Speaker 1: But I had him going to the Niners. Walter Nolan
Speaker 1: a little bit higher than I had him, But this
Speaker 1: is ODIGAZOOA is a free agent, and so I'm like, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: who's an upfield disruptor and that's that's Walter Nolan from
Speaker 1: Old miss thirteen. Miami's got to get better along the
Speaker 1: offensive line, especially in the interior. Tyler Booker, I love
Speaker 1: him as a player. I think he's one of the
Speaker 1: safest guys out of Alabama. Membo from Missouri going to
Speaker 1: the Colts. He could start it right tackle when Braden
Speaker 1: Smith's days are done, he can start at guard until that's.
Speaker 2: A great versattle piece there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really really good player. And then fifteen the Falcons,
Speaker 1: I just why not pass rusher? Got to throw a
Speaker 1: pass there? Every year they never take one, but why
Speaker 1: not not going to be deterred RTT Gonna keep trying
Speaker 1: until they eventually do.
Speaker 2: At some point, we're gonna make that thing work. And
Speaker 2: it does feel like this is a really good draft
Speaker 2: to find that match and look at fifteen to feel
Speaker 2: like you got a good one. I mean, look at
Speaker 2: where the Rams got versed last year, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: like this is you're gonna You're gonna be in a
Speaker 2: good spot right there to get a really good, impactful
Speaker 2: player off the edge to make that work for Rhem Morris.
Speaker 1: And by the way, on the Rams, I was talking
Speaker 1: with somebody this morning and brought up a great point
Speaker 1: on the Rams, which will you know what, I'll put
Speaker 1: a pin in that because I'll we'll get them. I'll
Speaker 1: do that when we get to the Rams. But there's
Speaker 1: a nugget on them that I love. But I told
Speaker 1: you that was the interesting part of the draft, and
Speaker 1: that was where the thing really got going, was there
Speaker 1: at six with the Raiders. So that's that's kind of
Speaker 1: the top part there. That's the wrap for the lead
Speaker 1: Black presented by T Mobile for Business Football Needs and
Speaker 1: network willing to go the extra yard? So do you
Speaker 1: go further with T Mobile for Business quick break, we
Speaker 1: come back. We'll get to the second half of this
Speaker 1: mock draft right for this all right, right, let's keep
Speaker 1: it rolling here. Sixteen through twenty sixteen Arizona Cardinals Kenneth
Speaker 1: Grant it just to me, it's like the talent is
Speaker 1: there and then having somebody that you can just plug
Speaker 1: right into that defense. I got some other interesting pieces there,
Speaker 1: but overall, defensively for Arizona they were twenty eighth third
Speaker 1: down defense, twenty fifth in yards per carry, twenty eighth
Speaker 1: or twenty sixth the pressure rate. So defensively is where
Speaker 1: you focus, and I think you get a lot of
Speaker 1: help there with Kenneth Grant.
Speaker 2: How do you view knowing the way that Jonathan the
Speaker 2: Ganannon runs, you know, runs that defense and how they
Speaker 2: want to run it in Arizona, Like, how do you
Speaker 2: view Grant? Like can you play him as a nose?
Speaker 2: Can you play him out? Can you move him out
Speaker 2: a little bit? You know and play him over the guard?
Speaker 2: Like how do you see where he fits in there?
Speaker 1: Well, when I look at him, you know, one of
Speaker 1: the comps, it's kind of interesting of what he can be.
Speaker 1: I know, Dexter Lawrence is the name that I've mentioned before.
Speaker 1: That's what you're hoping, you know, he could somehow get
Speaker 1: to that level. Would be incredible, would be insane. But
Speaker 1: you got somebody that I think can play the nose,
Speaker 1: can handle that. But I also think someone who you
Speaker 1: can move around on pass downs, Like if you go
Speaker 1: back to the Albert Hainsworth years when he was with
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Vandenbosch and they used to flip them. They
Speaker 1: used to let Van den Bosch rush over the guard
Speaker 1: and they would let him Hainesworth rush out over the
Speaker 1: edge where I'm just envisioning you could have some fun
Speaker 1: if you gave him a runway at three hundred and
Speaker 1: forty pounds. I think right now he helps the run game.
Speaker 1: Right now, he's your nose, he's stacked, and he can
Speaker 1: take on doubles all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Darius, I think it starts to show up a little
Speaker 2: bit too there.
Speaker 1: With Darius Robinson plays off him, you know who can
Speaker 1: really get upfield. So I think it would be a
Speaker 1: fun piece there for them to play with. We get
Speaker 1: keep it going here at seventeen one of my favorite
Speaker 1: players in the draft and Jaday I got to get it,
Speaker 1: Jaday Jedi. I'm going to figure that out before we
Speaker 1: get there. Baron from Texas had a fun discussion with
Speaker 1: a buddy in the league the other day about him
Speaker 1: because he was like, well, I just don't know if
Speaker 1: he could hold up outside at outside, at corner. I
Speaker 1: have my concerns there and I said, well, he is
Speaker 1: a dominant, dominant nickel, like he is outstanding in coverage.
Speaker 1: He makes a ton of plays on the football and oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, he does not miss tackles. So then
Speaker 1: start thinking about it, and we're going to do something
Speaker 1: on this at the combine. Think about some of the
Speaker 1: teams in the in the tournament, some of the teams
Speaker 1: that were some of the last teams in the tournament.
Speaker 2: Let's go with.
Speaker 1: And I know they used him differently this year, but
Speaker 1: McDuffie is at his best when he's in that nickels spot,
Speaker 1: in the nickels on a great defense. Cooper dejen on
Speaker 1: the team that just won the Super Bowl, dominant nickel
Speaker 1: the Ravens when they put Hamilton and moved him down there,
Speaker 1: Look how that changed their their defense. He can play
Speaker 1: back at safety, he can do everything. He actually went
Speaker 1: from front to back and their defense even got better.
Speaker 1: But to me, he's someone who has that skill set
Speaker 1: to be an impact player down low. I look at
Speaker 1: Irwin James for the Charters, a playoff team, dominant player
Speaker 1: in that big nickel role. Whether the size, you know,
Speaker 1: big Nickel, Reagannickel, whatever you have it. Almost every defense
Speaker 1: has had an impact player that can play in that spot.
Speaker 1: So I told him this was the point that I
Speaker 1: made is I was like, look, the rest of the league,
Speaker 1: the rest of the league blew it on Branch and
Speaker 1: on Degene and allowed those guys to fall in the
Speaker 1: draft and watch them take off. I can't imagine the
Speaker 1: league is going to be this dumb. Three years, you know,
Speaker 1: three years in a row doing this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's too good. Yep. Yeah, Now this is a team.
Speaker 2: This kind of reminds me a little bit of where
Speaker 2: Tampa was before they went to the Super Bowl. They've
Speaker 2: spent some resources now on the defensive backfield in recent drafts.
Speaker 2: Right second rounder on Dj Turner, second rounder on Cam
Speaker 2: Taylor Britt, the third rounder on Jordan Battle. But the
Speaker 2: point is like, you keep swinging right until you find
Speaker 2: that impactful.
Speaker 1: Dude and their Nickels gone, He'll Mike Hill. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of the thing that makes a lot. But again,
Speaker 1: and the other thing is defensive tackle needs to be addressed.
Speaker 1: But I think they I think their next pick is
Speaker 1: forty two. I have that right here. Their next pick
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati is forty nine. They can get ad tackle
Speaker 1: at forty nine this draft is.
Speaker 2: In this draft yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's where I had them going. Uh, Seattle
Speaker 1: dressed the interior of the offensive line. I wish Gray
Speaker 1: is able could clone himself, but he takes care of
Speaker 1: one of those positions somewhere. Yeah, it's a big one
Speaker 1: for him. Uh. And then I've got McMillan, Ted McMillan
Speaker 1: from Arizona, the big wide receiver.
Speaker 2: Baby. Look, he could go.
Speaker 1: He could go in the top ten easy. But I
Speaker 1: also think there's so many teams looking to address Biggs
Speaker 1: early in this draft that I think there's a chance
Speaker 1: he could slip a little bit. And that's the scenario
Speaker 1: that I ran through here.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And with Tampa with Chris Godwin, a free agent Mike
Speaker 1: Mike Evans there with a bigger frame. Yeah, you get
Speaker 1: somebody that that Baker likes playing with this style of receiver.
Speaker 1: And then with Denver, I gave him the joker that
Speaker 1: they appear are wanting there, and that's that's a very
Speaker 1: talented tight end Coulston Levin. I almost flipped it and
Speaker 1: went Colston levelin to the Jets up there, Like if
Speaker 1: you told me Colston Lovelan went in the top ten,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. I think he's one of the
Speaker 1: ten best players in the draft.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's interesting to me. So like that could actually
Speaker 2: end up being closer with Warren and Loveland. Obviously still
Speaker 2: giving the nod to Warren and number at the first
Speaker 2: tight end all I.
Speaker 1: Gave him the same grade. Right, they're totally They're totally
Speaker 1: different stylistically, right. But that's why I did that whole
Speaker 1: tweet the other day about you've got the Gronk tree
Speaker 1: and the Kelsey Tree, and there's some hybrids, but you know,
Speaker 1: you try and say which one of these guys is it?
Speaker 1: And with Warren you get the seam runner. Keep him
Speaker 1: on the move. He's a rolling billboard down the seam.
Speaker 1: He obviously does his stuff in the run game. He's
Speaker 1: going to be more physicality after the catch than make
Speaker 1: a miss. And then the Gronk tree, and then you
Speaker 1: get leveland from the Kelsey tree, you want to run
Speaker 1: option routes, choice routes, whip routes, get in and out.
Speaker 1: You can split him out wide, let him run routes
Speaker 1: out there, and he's going to make you miss after
Speaker 1: the catch. So think he's got realistically too, like oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're there stylistically as how you will use them
Speaker 1: in terms of route running are polar opposite, but I
Speaker 1: do think they both have an edge to them to
Speaker 1: your point, yes, yeah, so, uh that's what I had there.
Speaker 2: That was like that. I mean the elevation for Zabel,
Speaker 2: I just again speaks to opportunity and and you know,
Speaker 2: taking advantage of it at the Senior Bowl, like I
Speaker 2: just if not, if not for the Senior Bowl. Do
Speaker 2: you think we're still talking about Gray Zabel as the
Speaker 2: eighteenth player off the board here?
Speaker 1: No, because I think you just wonder how he would
Speaker 1: have done against the competition. You don't have won anymore.
Speaker 2: Bottom of the first maybe top of the site. But yeah,
Speaker 2: there there he goes at eighteen. Good for him and
Speaker 2: the Seahawks are going to be very happy to be
Speaker 2: able to have a player like that.
Speaker 1: All right, right, it's time for Hot or Not, brought
Speaker 1: to you by with Sabi Hot Cloud Storage, because this
Speaker 1: one got a little hot hot on the on the
Speaker 1: internet streets. When I put this one out there a
Speaker 1: lot of reactions on this next pick. The Pittsburgh Steelers
Speaker 1: taking Ashton Genty running back from Boise and State.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. I think we've seen
Speaker 2: enough of what this offense looks like with Najee Harris
Speaker 2: and it's not a needle mover. And I think this
Speaker 2: this moves the needle. I'm actually getting a chance. And
Speaker 2: we've talked to Spencer Danielson, his head coach, you know
Speaker 2: here on Move the Sticks a couple of times. I remember,
Speaker 2: you know, listening to him as a defensive coach, right
Speaker 2: before he was elevated to the intermad coach and like understanding,
Speaker 2: all right, as a defensive guy, like when did you
Speaker 2: notice Ashton Genty, Like when he got to camp, when
Speaker 2: he was like, oh I noticed it in the spring.
Speaker 2: You know, they're ripped off an eighty yard run against
Speaker 2: the number one defense and it wasn't particularly close and
Speaker 2: it was like no, okay, yeah, still, like you know,
Speaker 2: you know, for a guy who rushes for you know,
Speaker 2: twenty six hundred yards, you know, including the playoffs in
Speaker 2: college football, Like I think you're you're forecasting a guy
Speaker 2: who can be a bell cow type and just to me,
Speaker 2: fits perfectly with what Pittsburgh want. Major work ethic, major toughness,
Speaker 2: incredible dude, and a really talented player in the backfield.
Speaker 2: That's going to make a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get all the toughness in the physicality, but
Speaker 1: then you get the home run ability. To me, it's
Speaker 1: like if the two backs that they had had a
Speaker 1: baby's it gives you the Jalen Warrang juice, and it
Speaker 1: gives you the power that you had with Najie Harris
Speaker 1: all on one guy, and I just think he matches
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh beautifully. A little many many run here on running
Speaker 1: backs at a maryin Hampton going next to the Chargers
Speaker 1: and again thinking playmakers not positions and just saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: they need speed, they need dynamic players offensively to surround with.
Speaker 1: Lad McConkey in that to me, when I stack him
Speaker 1: up and like he's the most dynamic skill player that's
Speaker 1: there at this time.
Speaker 2: I loved watching him against Florida State, Like, I mean
Speaker 2: the way he's got some vision now too to get
Speaker 2: through there, and then when he gets when he busts out,
Speaker 2: like not only does he have that kind of like
Speaker 2: game breaking, playmaking type of skill, but he's got some
Speaker 2: shock absorbers too, Like those guys coming to take kill
Speaker 2: shots on him from the side and just kind of,
Speaker 2: you know, just kind of absorbs and continues on. That's
Speaker 2: how you you know, that's what you're talking about when
Speaker 2: you go from twelve to thirty two in term, twelve
Speaker 2: yards to thirty two to fifty two yards in a run,
Speaker 2: when you can get past that third level.
Speaker 1: He's going to be at the combine around two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five pounds. He's going to run in the
Speaker 1: mid four fours, and he's going to have six percent
Speaker 1: body fat. Come on, come on, you're going to start
Speaker 1: hearing a lot more. You're going to start hearing a
Speaker 1: lot more about a mari and Hampton. Is the point
Speaker 1: I'm making here, all right, let's keep it rolling here.
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers Josh Simmons, who if he's clean
Speaker 1: and healthy and finishes out the years, no chance he's
Speaker 1: there at this point in time. But he's someone I
Speaker 1: think can be or he can be or left tackle
Speaker 1: of the future. But he can also you know, play
Speaker 1: any of the other spots. He's really really good feet,
Speaker 1: he can bend, so I had him go to Green Bay.
Speaker 1: Feels like their style of guy. The next one I
Speaker 1: do want to spend a little time on here, and
Speaker 1: this is going to kind of wrap up our little
Speaker 1: hot or not section here because this is another one
Speaker 1: that got a little bit of buzz on the streets here.
Speaker 1: Trayvon Henderson go into the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2: Wow. I mean it's like Dalvin Cook comes back in
Speaker 2: the form of an absolute home run hitter at the
Speaker 2: running back spot. And that's I think what we all
Speaker 2: saw in the college football playoff each was this. This
Speaker 2: dude absolutely gets after it and I would love to
Speaker 2: see what he could do. That's a pretty dang good
Speaker 2: offensive line when healthy now too, so like he's going
Speaker 2: to have some opportunities like that almost feels like that
Speaker 2: almost feels like in like an Eagles light type of
Speaker 2: running game with what Trayveon could do. Like he's not Saquon,
Speaker 2: we get it, but that offensive line maybe not quite
Speaker 2: as good as Philly, But like again, if you're trying
Speaker 2: to find some similarities and some pathways to success, like
Speaker 2: that feels like a great way to support whoever your
Speaker 2: quarterback is. They're in Minnesota this year. I really like
Speaker 2: that pairing of Trayveon to Minnesota and in the style
Speaker 2: in which they run again in which they want to,
Speaker 2: you know, execute run game like that makes a lot.
Speaker 1: Of sense to him who took the division away from
Speaker 1: him last year at the end of the year.
Speaker 2: Away from the Vikings. Yeah, the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do the Detroit Lions have a running back
Speaker 1: when we have an up close view to see in
Speaker 1: that one? Yeah, they saw what that? And and by
Speaker 1: the way, back when when you had Randy Moss and
Speaker 1: Chris Carter and that dynamic passing, who did they run back?
Speaker 1: He can run a little bit, little jeez. So this
Speaker 1: is a blast to the past here. So I just
Speaker 1: I love that fit. That's what got a little spicy there.
Speaker 1: But you laid down the case as well as as
Speaker 1: I could have right there. I'm a big fan of that.
Speaker 1: That was this week's Hot or Not segment, brought to
Speaker 1: you by with Sabi Hot Cloud Storage, store more and
Speaker 1: do more with your data. Try them for free at
Speaker 1: with Sabi dot Com. Running Backs who knew running backs
Speaker 1: would create a little bit, Let's let's finish this up
Speaker 1: here a Mecca Buka. He gets reunited with his college
Speaker 1: quarterback C J. Stroud Houston. I wrote down in there
Speaker 1: like to me, you have a cerebral quarterback. Now you
Speaker 1: have someone who's a cerebral receiver who he has history with,
Speaker 1: who's just a pros pro.
Speaker 2: He just what did they hit?
Speaker 1: What did they hit on?
Speaker 2: They hit on?
Speaker 1: Will Anderson pro like, just a pro c. J. Stroud
Speaker 1: is a pro like. You're starting to build that culture.
Speaker 1: It's the image of Demico Ryans. That's what Demiko Ryans was,
Speaker 1: just professional in every which way, is a player and
Speaker 1: as a coach. So I love that match there with
Speaker 1: the Texans. All right, this is the one you tease
Speaker 1: this a little earlier about the Rams. Darius Alexander, big,
Speaker 1: long rangey athletic. You watch if you want to have
Speaker 1: some fun, just go watch some of his cutups and
Speaker 1: watch some of the plays that he makes incredible, including
Speaker 1: a pick six. But the Rams best young defensive line
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I feel confident saying that just in
Speaker 1: terms of the young guys that they have so many
Speaker 1: of them. And I had some people say, well, they
Speaker 1: already are good at defensive line, why would they take
Speaker 1: another one? Well, my answer is, again reference a team
Speaker 1: that just won it. You can't have enough. He just
Speaker 1: keeps stacking them. And this was the point that was
Speaker 1: brought up to me by a mutual friend of ours.
Speaker 1: This is the rams nug, which was, uh, where is it? Hare,
Speaker 1: let me find it? Pull it up. It is right here, okay. Uh.
Speaker 1: If you look at a lot of their front seven
Speaker 1: picks from the last few years, they have something in common.
Speaker 1: They were small school transfers and players who were doubted.
Speaker 1: Think about Kobe, was it Richmond? You know? First Fisk
Speaker 1: Byron Young. Byron Young came Georgia Military. I mean like
Speaker 1: he worked at the you know, he was just doing
Speaker 1: blue collar work. And these guys have and that's how
Speaker 1: they kind of play. So let's go to the Mac
Speaker 1: and let's go get another one of these angry dudes
Speaker 1: that didn't get treated properly.
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that. That's that makes a
Speaker 2: lot of sense to me. And we saw this dude
Speaker 2: at the Senior Bowl as well and did not disappoint
Speaker 2: he is. He is a guy that fits right in
Speaker 2: with like the havoc that that group reeks on the
Speaker 2: off on the defensive front for Chris Shula and Sean McVay,
Speaker 2: and like that is they would I mean, you'd be sick.
Speaker 2: I do not want to be sitting around in the
Speaker 2: NFC West, having to deal with that group twice a year.
Speaker 2: Let's just be yeah.
Speaker 1: But now, one thing I did, I have to confirm
Speaker 1: his age because I was told that he's a little
Speaker 1: bit older.
Speaker 2: So I'll, uh, yeah, he got in. I mean his
Speaker 2: first year at college was twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's going to be a little bit older,
Speaker 1: which that could end up some teams have issues with that,
Speaker 1: that could slight him down. But as a player, I
Speaker 1: think he's he's in that border line there.
Speaker 2: But as an alternate, you're you. You would not be
Speaker 2: shocked to see an offensive lineman come off the board
Speaker 2: here for the Rams right.
Speaker 1: A left tackle. But I just here's my thing, and
Speaker 1: I've got the Chiefs taking one here in a minute.
Speaker 1: But usually the tackles you get at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the first round, you'll leave your wanting a little bit
Speaker 1: more because it's such a premium position. It's so hard
Speaker 1: to find. They all go real high, and so you
Speaker 1: almost in some ways, if you don't get one at
Speaker 1: the top of the first round, you almost better off
Speaker 1: just taking a flyer maybe on someone on Day two
Speaker 1: at some point in time. It's just a that's a
Speaker 1: theory and a thought that's out there. The Ravens Shamar Stewart, Hey,
Speaker 1: what do you know, have we ever seen them take
Speaker 1: an explosive ed rusher who for years we always talked about.
Speaker 1: The Ravens were obsessed with production at pass with pass rushers.
Speaker 1: That was Ozzy's thing. The Jason Oway they went, they
Speaker 1: went away from that. Jason Oway has been a good
Speaker 1: player for him. Shamar Stewart again, just big, long, physical, fast,
Speaker 1: He kind of plays hard. Reminded me of a Raven
Speaker 1: type player. Detroit Donovan Jackson who can slide right in
Speaker 1: and replace Zeidler who's a free agent. And then Washington
Speaker 1: Jahad Campbell. I'm curious we see at the combine. I
Speaker 1: know he's you know, he's played off the ball primarily,
Speaker 1: but they let him rush a little bit. And I
Speaker 1: was really intrigued by watching him rush and then I
Speaker 1: do the background on him to figure out, oh, this
Speaker 1: guy was an edge rusher in high school. They moved
Speaker 1: him off the ball at Alabama because they had two
Speaker 1: first round ed rush Dallas Carter and uh yeah, Dallas Dallas,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, and Will Anderson. So I mean that Wash
Speaker 1: that was kind of a no brainer there in terms
Speaker 1: of just I think it's a chess piece, an explosive,
Speaker 1: dynamic player for for dan Quinn, Matthew Golden, one of
Speaker 1: my favorites in the draft or sever out of Texas.
Speaker 1: He goes to Buffalo. Again, they have a lot of
Speaker 1: defensive needs there in Buffalo that would lead you to
Speaker 1: believe they could go in that direction. But this one
Speaker 1: was just this one was too fun, you know, for
Speaker 1: a team last year that defensively, I mean again, you
Speaker 1: can go through all the different holes, but you got
Speaker 1: a Mark Cooper is a free agent. I figured this
Speaker 1: is a nice one to plug in there.
Speaker 2: If if Derek Harmon were to get into the first round,
Speaker 2: could you see that as a spot for him.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, absolutely. Again, when I look at
Speaker 1: their defensive stuff, they were twenty ninth and third downs
Speaker 1: last year, so getting better, and that department twenty fourth
Speaker 1: and passing yards per game.
Speaker 2: Defensive much longer. Does Von Miller want to play? I
Speaker 2: don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much. If we see him this year,
Speaker 1: it would be a question. I mentioned it teased that
Speaker 1: Josh Connor and the tackle goes to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Everybody's going to focus on the one bad rep against
Speaker 1: Mike Green at the Senior Bowl where he got flat backed.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that bad the whole week.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not quite as high on him as some other
Speaker 1: people are. But if you're if you're desperate in watching that,
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl would lead you to believe they're pretty
Speaker 1: desperate to upgrade the left tackle position. Josh Connor to me,
Speaker 1: connorly to me a much better player than Sue Mattia
Speaker 1: coming out of b YU.
Speaker 2: Who they Yeah, you've got to win there.
Speaker 1: You got an upgrade. And then finally the Philadelphia Eagles,
Speaker 1: after all this talk and bluster from yours truly about
Speaker 1: offensive line and defensive line, I'm taking a safety, uh.
Speaker 2: But from Georgia.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Malachi starks Is is an interesting one. He's
Speaker 1: he's someone that is still you know, he's a young player.
Speaker 1: He's played a lot of football, and he's impactful right
Speaker 1: when he got on the field there at Georgia. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, another Georgia Bulldog for Howie Roseman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna be even better as we
Speaker 1: as we go along here in his career. I think
Speaker 1: the Eagles have the luxury of drafting for two years
Speaker 1: from now and not having year one.
Speaker 2: That's a great way to put it too. And you know,
Speaker 2: I think as you put like a he kind of
Speaker 2: put this whole thing into context, Like this simulation that
Speaker 2: you've put together here speaks to the identity of this draft.
Speaker 2: Like it's a little bit of a gritty draft. Right.
Speaker 2: You've got you've got four interior defensive linemen going here,
Speaker 2: You've got two off the ball backers. You've got three
Speaker 2: running backs and two tight ends. Right, I mean this
Speaker 2: fee feels like a big, physical draft. And you know,
Speaker 2: we're not going to see an incredible run on receivers
Speaker 2: and and maybe not even you know, on corners. I
Speaker 2: think there's only three dbs when we I mean four
Speaker 2: depending on how we're going to classify Travis Hunter. So
Speaker 2: I think it's it's a really good kind of lesson
Speaker 2: to learn about where this draft class sits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean three of my top seven players are
Speaker 1: two tight ends and a running back. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: in the draft like on the top fifty. So that's
Speaker 1: that's kind of where we are, all right, there you
Speaker 1: have it, right, this was a fun one man kind
Speaker 1: of jumped in.
Speaker 2: Great. Yeah, great, great food for thought with that, with
Speaker 2: that mock draft, and obviously it's it's a little more
Speaker 2: than food for thought. I know there's some there's some
Speaker 2: buzz in there, and there's some there's some talk around
Speaker 2: the league in there too, which is all it's interesting
Speaker 2: to see how it works.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. We'll hope you guys have enjoyed this.
Speaker 1: Later this week we'll have the conference call. So I
Speaker 1: do a conference call a bunch of media folks, so
Speaker 1: we'll answer a lot of draft questions on.
Speaker 2: Have you watched the Canadian players yet?
