Speaker 2: Really excited about that, so that'd be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: But now, yeah, this is the nerd podcast.
Speaker 1: This is the Yeah, this is the nerdiest podcast we do.
Speaker 1: It is the seven round Commanders only drump mock drafts.
Speaker 1: We're going to go through every single pick, kind of
Speaker 1: talk through kind of all the choices at the pick
Speaker 1: right and then kind of make our decision kind of
Speaker 1: like we would if it was draft night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the purpose of this is not the
Speaker 3: predict the commanders are doing. We don't know what Adam Peters,
Speaker 3: Dan Quick, we don't know what they're doing. We have
Speaker 3: no idea. But you and I here, we watched a
Speaker 3: lot of prospects, we watched a lot of film. We
Speaker 3: kind of get a feel for what the identity of
Speaker 3: this team, what they want that to be being around here.
Speaker 3: So we're just going to talk about some names that
Speaker 3: are going to be that like pff smock simulator says,
Speaker 3: they're going to be in these areas sure that we're picking,
Speaker 3: So we're just going to throw them out. It's more
Speaker 3: of like we're not trying to nail this right. We're
Speaker 3: not trying to get one hundred percent right here. We're
Speaker 3: just trying to give you the fans some names. So
Speaker 3: on the night of when we're in the fifth round
Speaker 3: picking one thirty nine, you you may have heard this name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent right, that's that's our goal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent, And we're going to try and
Speaker 1: also kind of fit it to what we think they're
Speaker 1: going to do offensively or defensively, but again, like you know,
Speaker 1: we don't know for sure because it's new, new defensive staff,
Speaker 1: new offensive staff.
Speaker 2: We're going to do our best though.
Speaker 3: All right, So here's what we're doing. I'm gonna just
Speaker 3: lay it out real quick. Here are our picks. We're
Speaker 3: not going to trade in this draft. I think we
Speaker 3: may be more fluid like as an organization actual draft night, yep.
Speaker 3: But for our purposes, we're not going to take any
Speaker 3: guesses at that. We're just going to.
Speaker 2: Pick where we are sure.
Speaker 3: So those picks that we have, we have the number
Speaker 3: two overall pick. Everybody knows that. Then we have two
Speaker 3: picks in round two, the thirty sixth pick and the
Speaker 3: fortieth pick, the fortieth pick we got from Chicago. All right,
Speaker 3: third round. We have three picks in the third round,
Speaker 3: the sixty seventh, the seventy eighth, and the one hundredth yep.
Speaker 3: Then in the fifth round we have two picks. In
Speaker 3: the fifth round, the one thirty ninth, the one to
Speaker 3: fifty second, and then round seven. Nothing in round six
Speaker 3: but round seven two twenty two.
Speaker 1: So no fourth round, no fourth round, or no sixth
Speaker 1: round pick. But we got a lot of picks here.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We have one, two, three, four, or five six
Speaker 3: picks in the first one hundred.
Speaker 2: That's pretty dark, pretty awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, all right, So, uh, what we're gonna do here?
Speaker 3: Start up to simulator.
Speaker 2: Yep, here we go.
Speaker 3: We're going to be Washington. I wonder who the Bears
Speaker 3: are taking they should take, and they took Caleb Williams,
Speaker 3: so we're on the clock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I mean, I think obviously they could
Speaker 1: trade out of this spot. But the more noise you
Speaker 1: hear about the team, the more conversation there is, it
Speaker 1: feels like they're going to stick and pick.
Speaker 2: And it's one of these three quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: And first and foremost, let me just say this, and
Speaker 1: I think I speak for both of us, if they
Speaker 1: were to take JJ McCarthy, Jade Daniels or Drake May,
Speaker 1: we'd all be really excited about it.
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for whoever is a Washington commander because I
Speaker 3: think all three of these guys have the potential to
Speaker 3: be great Washington commandise.
Speaker 1: They all are really talented, they're all young, they all
Speaker 1: bring different pros and strengths to the position, which we're
Speaker 1: all really excited about. But you know, we got to
Speaker 1: make a pick right where the commanders. We've got to
Speaker 1: make a pick. So I would say I'm ever so
Speaker 1: slightly leading towards Jayden.
Speaker 2: Daniels here, all right, tell me why you like Jaden?
Speaker 1: And Okay, so first off, the guy that I like
Speaker 1: the most of these three is JJ McCarthy. Oh okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the guy that I like the most. It's his
Speaker 1: film's the most fun to watch. It's the most NFL
Speaker 1: ish in terms of like the concepts he's reading, the
Speaker 1: timing of the throws.
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of them, but he's the guy
Speaker 2: that I like the most.
Speaker 1: Jade Daniels, I think when you look at the look
Speaker 1: at his footwork, when you look at his fundamentals, when
Speaker 1: you look at his ability to push the football down
Speaker 1: the field. Now, their net's not getting pushed down the
Speaker 1: field in a diverse way. He's throwing a lot of
Speaker 1: box fades to leak Neighbors and Brian Thomas junior guys
Speaker 1: that are going to be top twenty picks in this draft,
Speaker 1: and Malik Neighbors will probably be a top five pick,
Speaker 1: you know. But he does have that ability and then
Speaker 1: the ability with his legs to kind of extend plays
Speaker 1: the complexity of the defense that he's facing, you know
Speaker 1: in the SEC. All those things kind of stack up
Speaker 1: and say, he feels like the safest pick. Right, He's
Speaker 1: played the most football, he's got the most experienced, the
Speaker 1: stories about his work ethic or legendary at this point,
Speaker 1: you know, getting in at five am, he's leaving at
Speaker 1: eight o'clock, like all those different things. So if I
Speaker 1: was going to just in terms of highest floor, it
Speaker 1: feels like Jane Daniels is that guy to me, just
Speaker 1: just from a thoudy right out of the gate. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: And again, like I like Drake may a lot. I
Speaker 1: love his ability to throw the football over the middle
Speaker 1: of the field. I love his playmaking ability, probably like
Speaker 1: the best playmaking ability outside of Caleb Williams, like the
Speaker 1: big time throwers, edge his nuts, like he's elevating a
Speaker 1: bad team there at North Carolina. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things to like there. I think his ceiling is
Speaker 1: probably the highest of this group. But again, the floor
Speaker 1: is something that gets me a little bit concerned, and
Speaker 1: I would feel a little bit better if if if
Speaker 1: Washington had a.
Speaker 2: A more established backup.
Speaker 1: Not that I don't like Marcus Mariota, but a guy
Speaker 1: like Jacoby Brissett or Gardner Minshew, I'd feel more comfortablebout
Speaker 1: selecting him. I just feel like the quarterback, whoever it is,
Speaker 1: gonna have to play right away. And not that Drake
Speaker 1: can't play right away. Let me just be clear about that.
Speaker 1: I think he can one hundred percent play right away.
Speaker 1: I just think it's better for his development long term
Speaker 1: if he weren't, if he didn't have to play right away.
Speaker 1: And so looking at that, looking at the roster construction,
Speaker 1: it feels like Jade and Daniels. But again, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: you know, I'd be happy if any one of these
Speaker 1: three guys were to go here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's real quickly go through Drake May. We'll
Speaker 3: start with McCarthy, than May, than Daniels, and it's what
Speaker 3: are the things that stand out about McCarthy and how
Speaker 3: you think he could fit in this system? Sure, then
Speaker 3: do May, and then we'll do Daniels and we'll make
Speaker 3: a pet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I think with JJ, I think he's the guy
Speaker 1: that to me sticks out is just having kind of
Speaker 1: the most the best feel feel for the position. I
Speaker 1: know that's kind of an ambiguous term, but For example,
Speaker 1: I'm watching him throw like a coe concept, which is
Speaker 1: just a corner and an out right very simple concept
Speaker 1: versus Cover two. It's a good Cover two beater, but
Speaker 1: his understanding of like of the coverage and like how
Speaker 1: I can use my eyes to manipulate the coverage, Like
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the out knowing that the corner is
Speaker 1: going to rally to the out and then I'm going
Speaker 1: to deliver an absolute laser beam to the corner.
Speaker 2: Does that all the time.
Speaker 1: The way he works the drive concept, that's an NFL concept, right,
Speaker 1: he got a five yard crossing route, you got a
Speaker 1: twelve or a fourteen yard incut. The way he's able
Speaker 1: to manipulate the underneath coverage and account for all these
Speaker 1: guys anticipate throw to spots like I love that it's
Speaker 1: a one to one corollary a couple that he does
Speaker 1: have a natural playmaking ability. I don't think it's the
Speaker 1: same level those other guys. And he's a better runner
Speaker 1: I think in terms of qrnerback designed runs than Drake.
Speaker 1: May you know what I'm saying, Like, if you want
Speaker 1: to run cornerback, power run a run zone read, he's
Speaker 1: better at that stuff And so I do think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of value there. Again, didn't have to carry
Speaker 1: the team there in Michigan. At Michigan not a lot
Speaker 1: of throw a volume. They're a run first team. But
Speaker 1: I think when you look at throw for throw, specifically
Speaker 1: on third down, third and seven plus, he's excellent. And
Speaker 1: so that's a guy that I really really like.
Speaker 3: I'm going to steal something from Connor Rogers who was
Speaker 3: on our last pod, and that was that Michigan was
Speaker 3: a run first team. Yep, right, And as all football
Speaker 3: fans know, when you do run run pass and the
Speaker 3: run run doesn't work right, you're putting a lot of
Speaker 3: pressure on that quarterback to make something happen on third
Speaker 3: down and long because everybody in the world knows that
Speaker 3: you're throwing that ball, especially the defense. And while the
Speaker 3: volume wasn't there for McCarthy, when he was in those situations,
Speaker 3: he was better than anybody. And just as a little
Speaker 3: comparison Bo Nicks, his first downs average yard per throw
Speaker 3: for first downs that he got this past year was
Speaker 3: below the marker of where the sticks was, So if
Speaker 3: he needed eight yards, he was throwing the ball six
Speaker 3: yards and getting a first down. That's not a knock
Speaker 3: on him. He's getting the ball into a playmaker's hand.
Speaker 3: That's the offense, that's what you're asking him to do.
Speaker 2: It could be schematic as well.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Now with McCarthy, he was the highest quarterback to
Speaker 3: throw beyond the stacks the most time. So when it
Speaker 3: was third and seven, he was throwing the ball eight
Speaker 3: yards nine yards, he was picking it up in the air.
Speaker 3: And that's impressive when everybody knows you're throwing the ball.
Speaker 3: And I think that's the kind of thing where there's
Speaker 3: not a large volume of that, but there's enough of it,
Speaker 3: and he does it. He succeeds at it enough times
Speaker 3: that you're like, Okay, there's definitely something here. There's trust
Speaker 3: that Harball had in him to make these plays and
Speaker 3: just be like, hey, man, go out and make a play.
Speaker 3: You're only going to have to do this maybe twice again,
Speaker 3: but I know that you're so good at it that
Speaker 3: you're not going to be fifty percent. You're gonna go
Speaker 3: out there and you're gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I also think he's got more natural arm talent
Speaker 1: that people want to give him credit for. But and again,
Speaker 1: so maybe I think you would make the argument he
Speaker 1: had to carry his team, but in a different way
Speaker 1: than the other Yes, the other quarterbacks of this class.
Speaker 1: But a guy that I like, we're very high on.
Speaker 1: I like watching his film. Got a lot of ability.
Speaker 1: Worry about his ability to kind of have every throw
Speaker 1: in the bag, you know what I mean he has.
Speaker 1: He's not played enough football, I don't think to have
Speaker 1: like kind of the layered.
Speaker 2: Throws or the touch throws.
Speaker 1: But something that he's I think definitely been working on
Speaker 1: and I would bet on him as a guy that
Speaker 1: can get that done. But a guy that I like
Speaker 1: a lot. Drake May is the next guy for me.
Speaker 1: And I really know people think I don't like Drake May.
Speaker 1: I really like Drake May. I think he's a guy
Speaker 1: that when you look at his ability to create plays,
Speaker 1: he's got that kind of it factor right. The way
Speaker 1: he can throw the ball over the middle of the
Speaker 1: field is tremendous. The tight window throws, kind of the
Speaker 1: moxie like the far Van kind of like just let
Speaker 1: this sucker rip is pretty special. I think that the
Speaker 1: only thing, the thing that gets me about him, and
Speaker 1: I've said this before and I'll say it again, is
Speaker 1: there's a lack of down to down consistency right. The
Speaker 1: highs are are very high. They rival Kleb Williams in
Speaker 1: terms of the highs. It's just, you know, in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you got to be super consistent at the position, and
Speaker 1: he's not there yet.
Speaker 2: And it's not just throwing the ball.
Speaker 1: It's kind of his pocket feel, his pocket awareness. You know,
Speaker 1: he's just out there playing ball, and I think, like
Speaker 1: there's a question in my mind about his ability to
Speaker 1: clean that stuff up quickly. And I think he can
Speaker 1: clean it all. It's all coachable, but it's just about
Speaker 1: how quickly that can happen. And if this is an
Speaker 1: environment where he can do that, you know, like if
Speaker 1: New England were to draft him, for example, I think
Speaker 1: you're probably feeling pretty good because he'll have time to
Speaker 1: sit for a couple couple of games, work on that,
Speaker 1: understand his dissections of defense and things like that to
Speaker 1: kind of grow and develop.
Speaker 2: But the talent is definitely there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I would say the counter to what you're saying,
Speaker 3: not that what you're saying is wrong, but if he
Speaker 3: were to come here, maybe what the coaches and the
Speaker 3: GMS are thinking is that, you know, what he was
Speaker 3: on a bad unc team. Right, he's coming here, we
Speaker 3: have more talent around him. He's trying to make plays there,
Speaker 3: and it's like, we're not going to pressure him to
Speaker 3: be great right out of the gate. We're going to
Speaker 3: move with the growing pains for him because at number two,
Speaker 3: where you don't get to pick very often when you
Speaker 3: need a quarterback, and there are a lot of good
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in this draft. Take the guy with the highest
Speaker 3: ceiling because we're going to basically we're swinging for four runs.
Speaker 3: We are trying to hit a grand slam, right, that's
Speaker 3: the mentality. I'm not saying that's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, if Drake May comes here, I think
Speaker 3: that's what their mentality is going to be. And he's young.
Speaker 3: See that's the other thing. He's younger than Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 3: He's only played two years. Jane Daniels has played five
Speaker 3: ye right, so Daniels has had more time to grow
Speaker 3: and to learn, which is why he's more ready right now,
Speaker 3: which is great. So that's the chance you're taking with
Speaker 3: Drake May is young guy. We're going to develop him.
Speaker 3: But the ceiling that we see, man, we're going to
Speaker 3: take a shot on that. I think that would be
Speaker 3: the mindset if he comes here, which would be super.
Speaker 2: It would be really exciting.
Speaker 1: And again, like you said, like there's a lot of
Speaker 1: bunch of different ways to ensulate a quarterback. He doesn't
Speaker 1: have to sit necessarily, but you know, if you kind
Speaker 1: of say we're going to play good defense and run
Speaker 1: the football and then limit your exposures actually earlier on
Speaker 1: in your career, that's another way to get that done.
Speaker 1: But that's kind of like I think the narrative about him.
Speaker 3: I think that's why he gets to Josh Allen comparisons, right,
Speaker 3: because when Josh Allen comes out, he's not the Josh
Speaker 3: Allen we know now right away. It took him two years.
Speaker 3: It took him two seasons and he was playing, but
Speaker 3: it just took him a little bit to kind of
Speaker 3: learn there. And I think that's why would they make
Speaker 3: the comparison. Because the body of the arm strength, that's
Speaker 3: not all quite there. But like the way he plays
Speaker 3: and the rawness of him with the high ceiling, that's
Speaker 3: kind of what you're getting with him. All right, let's
Speaker 3: move to Jaye and Daniels.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, Jayden Daniels is I don't know.
Speaker 1: We've talked about him a lot, Like I just think
Speaker 1: his mechanics are really tight, his footwork's really tight. His
Speaker 1: ball accuracy I think is pretty high level of his
Speaker 1: playmaking ability. And so it's a different type of playmaking
Speaker 1: ability than Drake May. Like he he's going to try
Speaker 1: and work in the context of the offense a little
Speaker 1: bit more and he's going to rely. He's he's gonna
Speaker 1: make plays as a scrambler, I think is the best
Speaker 1: way to kind of characterize that.
Speaker 3: And so when we say scrambler, I think sometimes people
Speaker 3: think that means I'm going to roll around like Caleb
Speaker 3: Williams and then try and throw the ball. He's I
Speaker 3: hesitate userd scrambler because they think he's going to make
Speaker 3: a passing play out of the pocket. When he decides
Speaker 3: to move, he's running the ball and he's dynamic doing that.
Speaker 3: But that's what you're getting.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, one hundred percent, he's not. Yeah, he's he
Speaker 1: makes plays with his legs. He's not like, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: not Caleb Williams. He's not drag May in that way.
Speaker 1: He's but he does have that ability, yes, to kind
Speaker 1: of elevate lecture if you watch that Alabama game, I
Speaker 1: think you see kind of how dangerous he can be.
Speaker 1: He's this long, kind of silky strider and that's one
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in football, probably outside of Michigan,
Speaker 1: and he's able to kind of make them look silly.
Speaker 1: So he's got that ability. The fundamentals are all there,
Speaker 1: the work ethics all there, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: And I think the work ethic is there for all
Speaker 1: three of these guys, but he's kind of it sounds
Speaker 1: like his work ethic is just a tick above everybody else's.
Speaker 3: Let me address one or ask you to address one
Speaker 3: thing real quick with him comes up all the time,
Speaker 3: smaller dude, skin of your frame takes a lot of
Speaker 3: big hits. What do you say to that?
Speaker 1: So for me, like, I think there's a couple of things,
Speaker 1: a couple of ways to look at it, right, Like obviously,
Speaker 1: like I in some in some ways I like it
Speaker 1: because it shows a competitiveness. The other thing I think
Speaker 1: is people think like bigger is better when it comes
Speaker 1: to collisions, But there's also a skill in terms of
Speaker 1: taking collisions, which I think he's got. And what I
Speaker 1: mean by that is like there's a amaleability to him
Speaker 1: that like, when I get hit, I'm like giving as
Speaker 1: opposed to trying to fight it. So I think Anthony
Speaker 1: Richardson's a really good example of this. Like Anthony Richardson
Speaker 1: like looks, he's like two forty, he's six ' four,
Speaker 1: like he's big, he's well put together, but he fights
Speaker 1: every hit. And so when you're fighting a hit, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're going to break a tackle, right, but you're also
Speaker 1: going to get a lot more force into your body.
Speaker 1: And Jaden Daniels doesn't really do that, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I think there's there's value to that. Now,
Speaker 1: despite that ability, which I think you see most of
Speaker 1: the time, there's like, you know, play like a Missouri
Speaker 1: I think is what it was, where he's running to
Speaker 1: his right and gets absolutely smoked.
Speaker 2: You're like, what are you doing there?
Speaker 1: But I think on hole he shows a nice ability
Speaker 1: to kind of absorb the hips for his size, and
Speaker 1: he's got the flexibility that I think and kind of
Speaker 1: the palatability that makes you feel like, Okay, maybe this
Speaker 1: is going to be an issue at the next level.
Speaker 1: Does he still need to improve with it, Absolutely, But
Speaker 1: I'm more confident that it's going to be okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the coaching staff here will do
Speaker 3: a good job at telling him you need to protect
Speaker 3: your body in certain situations. But you mentioned before what
Speaker 3: you kind of love about the way he runs is
Speaker 3: that competitiveness, that dog right. He wants that first down,
Speaker 3: he wants that touch in. You don't want to take
Speaker 3: that away from him. So I think the coaching staff
Speaker 3: is gonna have to walk in line with him where
Speaker 3: it's like, we want you to be dynamic, we want
Speaker 3: you to make these plays. We don't want to take
Speaker 3: that dog mentality, that competitive netness out of you, but
Speaker 3: we're also going to need you for the next play,
Speaker 3: So pick your moments.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the same thing like will any quarterback right,
Speaker 1: Like knowing when I got to like throw the fastball
Speaker 1: in there, knowing when I got to take a sack
Speaker 1: like those are, That's something that's gonna come in terms
Speaker 1: of decision making. But I think Alabama, I go back
Speaker 1: to that game, he scores like a ten yard touchdown,
Speaker 1: he breaks two tackles and gets in there die you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like that's what you want him
Speaker 1: to be aggressive on third and twenty. You don't want
Speaker 1: him taking a shot five yards short of the sticks,
Speaker 1: because it's.
Speaker 2: Like, come on, you've done what you need to do.
Speaker 1: We've flipped the field position, we're in a better spot
Speaker 1: for ost special teams. Unit don't get murdered here. So
Speaker 1: but again, like the knock on him, and to my
Speaker 1: opinion is something I have not been able to fully
Speaker 1: kind of mill over in terms of my mind is
Speaker 1: that offense is crazy simplistic. Like it's crazy simplistic. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he's making the throws, he's making the plays, he's standing
Speaker 1: in under pressure and delivering delivering balls down the field
Speaker 1: like he's doing the things you want him to do.
Speaker 1: But they're all box fhades, they're all outside the numbers.
Speaker 1: The throws over the middle field, they're there, but not
Speaker 1: at a very high frequency. And so it's just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just makes me nervous because like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you couldn't see any like you know, JJ's the antithesis
Speaker 1: where you see every single throw it's NFL Drake maybe
Speaker 1: fifty percent Jane.
Speaker 2: It's like a few, very few and far between. So
Speaker 2: that's my one concern.
Speaker 1: I think when you look at the other stuff, you
Speaker 1: feel really good about it, but just in terms of
Speaker 1: what you're watching on tape every single week, you're like, damn, Like,
Speaker 1: this is not a very complicated offense that he's in,
Speaker 1: and that's not his fault, but you know that that
Speaker 1: projection element with all these guys is still a little
Speaker 1: bit nerve wrecking.
Speaker 3: All right, Logan, I'm going to leave it up to you.
Speaker 3: What would you like to do? Would you like to
Speaker 3: be a wild man and bet on the thing that
Speaker 3: you saw that relates the best with JJ McCarthy. Do
Speaker 3: you want to take the Grand Slam swing from your
Speaker 3: heels with Drake may Or do you want to take
Speaker 3: the win now dynamic playmaker with Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 1: That's a good question, you know, it's a really good question,
Speaker 1: and it's a million dollar question, right, And it's stilistically
Speaker 1: like if I was the GM, I'd be talking to
Speaker 1: myc like what do we feel.
Speaker 2: Best about here? What do we need the most?
Speaker 1: And I look at you know, stuff that Dan has
Speaker 1: said about running quarterbacks, not not here but other places
Speaker 1: he's been, you know, kind of defending against them. It
Speaker 1: does make it really hard defensively.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and all three of these guys can run, but
Speaker 3: Daniels is special.
Speaker 2: As a lead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we talked about JJ's ability to run the quarterback,
Speaker 1: you know, run stuff, Drake May's ability to be creative.
Speaker 1: But I just think that speedback there. He never run
Speaker 1: a forty, but like when I watch them like this,
Speaker 1: dude runs like a four to four, maybe a four
Speaker 1: to three Jade Daniels. So I would probably because of
Speaker 1: the running ability, because the mechainis are good, because the
Speaker 1: ball accuracy, I'd probably go Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 3: All right, So at number two overall Logan and Jessic
Speaker 3: guy Jason, we're taking Jade and Daniels. Now, we'd be happy,
Speaker 3: like we said, with all three of them. And I mean, honestly,
Speaker 3: if you're listening to this for the purpose because you can,
Speaker 3: you can go ahead and like as the fan here
Speaker 3: plugging any one of those guys you like like it.
Speaker 3: I think at this point these guys are all so
Speaker 3: talented and the draft is such a coin flip. It
Speaker 3: really is. We don't have all the information. We don't
Speaker 3: know these meetings, we don't know the interviews, we don't
Speaker 3: know what is happening when they're in here in the building,
Speaker 3: when you're talking to these guys, we don't have any
Speaker 3: of that information, so we're just making this pick based
Speaker 3: off of.
Speaker 1: On film and yeah, film conversations we've had. Yeah, but again,
Speaker 1: like just to reiterate, they're all re talented. They all
Speaker 1: three have their issues in terms of evaluation that make
Speaker 1: them a projection and that's one of the reasons. That's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that quarterback is so tough. Can
Speaker 1: you scroll up to twenty four real quick, Jason, Just
Speaker 1: one thing I wanted to point out here.
Speaker 3: So, so pick twenty four was the Dallas Cowboy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So twenty three was Amarusmims to the Minnesota Vikings, and
Speaker 1: pick twenty five was Tyler Geyton out of Oklahoma to
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Those are two guys that I would kind
Speaker 1: of if you're a fan circle. We're not doing trades
Speaker 1: in this draft, but as potential trade up opportunities, and
Speaker 1: especially with the Mariusmims at twenty three, that's not crazy
Speaker 1: in terms of reaching up to go get that right
Speaker 1: because like the offensive tackle run is supposed to start
Speaker 1: around twenty I believe, Yeah, with Pittsburgh it could start
Speaker 1: around there. If they start falling down the board, for example,
Speaker 1: and you think you can get above you, above Dallas,
Speaker 1: who needs an offensive lineman at twenty three. I think
Speaker 1: you would jump on that opportunity. And what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is, like we've talked about Amarusmims a lot
Speaker 1: on this podcast. I think could be the best player
Speaker 1: physically coming out of this draft, not just offensive line,
Speaker 1: but but the best player physically coming out of this draft.
Speaker 1: And I just thought i'd call that a call attention
Speaker 1: to that, Like, he could be really really special. And
Speaker 1: so if there's an opportunity to trade up and that
Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty seven range, I think I would
Speaker 1: probably jump on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, But we're not doing the trades here, so
Speaker 3: we're picking at thirty six. And I love Himarusmims played
Speaker 3: seven games, but boy were they good.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: We were watching some clips of him yesterday and you
Speaker 3: were just.
Speaker 2: Like, look at this, Look at this guy.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So yeah, he's definitely a name I would circle. I
Speaker 3: think a lot of teams have him circled. But I
Speaker 3: think if you're going to make a trade up, it
Speaker 3: would be for a guy of that caliber. Yeah, somewhere
Speaker 3: in there. But yeah, so we're on the clock in
Speaker 3: the second round. Pick thirty six. Now, because we had
Speaker 3: a tackle run in this simulator that you were talking about,
Speaker 3: do you want to still try and take a tackle
Speaker 3: here or focus on another area of need.
Speaker 2: So best tackle available is Jordan Morgan from Arizona. He's
Speaker 2: a tackle. He played left tackle there.
Speaker 1: He's an interesting guy because he's got like kind of
Speaker 1: these thirty two and a half inch arms. He's got
Speaker 1: great feet, right, and so usually they say, if you've
Speaker 1: got great feet, you can overcome subpar length. I think
Speaker 1: he definitely falls in that category. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's your kind of blue chip left tackle prospect of
Speaker 1: the future. To me, he might move in a guard,
Speaker 1: which is fine getting a good football player. But the
Speaker 1: problem that the Commanders are running into is they need
Speaker 1: a left tackle right, They need a left tackle, which
Speaker 1: is a very specific thing. So Carrie on Adigi from
Speaker 1: Yale is another guy. I have my qualms about him. Physically,
Speaker 1: he's got everything you want. He's got thirty five in charms,
Speaker 1: he's six y five, he's three twenty five.
Speaker 2: He moves well. But he's playing at Yale.
Speaker 3: So but he does dominate the competition.
Speaker 2: But it does does he dominate it enough?
Speaker 1: Is my question that would be and again, like I
Speaker 1: you know, you watch as much film as anybody, Jason, like,
Speaker 1: that would be my question.
Speaker 2: He is like, is it there?
Speaker 1: And so you know, this is obviously PFF's list that
Speaker 1: we're looking at right now. And so you've got Brandon
Speaker 1: Colbyn from TCU. I think he's more of a guard,
Speaker 1: Blake Fisher from Notre Dame exclusively right, Roger Rosengarden, We've
Speaker 1: talked about him a lot. I think he could play
Speaker 1: left from a footwork standpoint. And then Patrick Paul is
Speaker 1: the next guy that everyone's kind of got circled. Played
Speaker 1: left tackle at Houston, very high pass blocking percentage in
Speaker 1: terms of PFF. He's rated lower on this board at
Speaker 1: PFF than I would probably have him rated. He's the
Speaker 1: one hundredth player on here. I probably have a little
Speaker 1: bit higher. Can we just go to the overall big
Speaker 1: board and see who's available, because again, Jordan Morgan would
Speaker 1: be possibly the pick here for me. But you know,
Speaker 1: they've got Troy Franken the receiver from Oregon. They've got
Speaker 1: Peyton Willis the linebacker, very very talented from North Carolina State,
Speaker 1: and then Tyler Nuban from Minnesota and then Zach Fraser
Speaker 1: would be the center from West Virginia. So all very
Speaker 1: talented guys. I don't know, it's interesting here because like
Speaker 1: all of these guys are good, but it's like, who
Speaker 1: do you think is the best on your board at
Speaker 1: this point?
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this. Another position of need
Speaker 3: we're gonna have is going to be edge. Now we
Speaker 3: pick again, right because forty at forty we're only four
Speaker 3: picks after this we're picking again. So do we want
Speaker 3: to go edge which has a desa Isaac from Penn State,
Speaker 3: Jenna Ellis from Utah, Chris braswell Alabama, Marsha and Neeland
Speaker 3: from Western Michigan. These are all very good players. We
Speaker 3: could probably get our pick of the litter here. Or
Speaker 3: do you want to try and grab someone. Do you
Speaker 3: feel like the tackle is a little thinner and we
Speaker 3: need to grab him now and we can wait on
Speaker 3: this for four picks or do you think vice versa,
Speaker 3: let's grab this edge here and what we see at
Speaker 3: tackle we can grab in four picks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably go tackle here. I think the edge
Speaker 1: class is a little bit deeper, like just as an example,
Speaker 1: go back to the edge class real quick, Jason if
Speaker 1: you just look at a guy a name like Jlex
Speaker 1: Hunt from Houston Christian, Like he played safety and then
Speaker 1: transferred to Houston Christian and is a very high level
Speaker 1: athlete that I think has a lot of traits to
Speaker 1: get you excited.
Speaker 2: I think you get a guy like that later.
Speaker 1: Reletive Prices as a guy we like a lot from you,
Speaker 1: dub Mohammed Kamara from Colorado State. So there's guys that
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Marshaw Nieland is a guy that
Speaker 1: we love, you know, like there's there's guys that I
Speaker 1: think you can get later. Yeah, yeah, and again I
Speaker 1: don't know if the difference between them and the first
Speaker 1: guy at this point, but you know, like we talked
Speaker 1: about to me, this is this becomes a question of
Speaker 1: who's the best player on your board.
Speaker 2: It is Jordan Morgan the best player on your board.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Can you go the top list real quick? Let me
Speaker 1: just hit this real quick and then we'll Yeah, so
Speaker 1: he's close to me because right now it's Troy Franklin,
Speaker 1: Peyton Woolson, Tyler Newman, Zach Fraser, Mike Sanders, Still Boonix,
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix, and Jordan Morgan So if those are the
Speaker 1: guys that are available, I don't know if I have
Speaker 1: anybody great and higher than him, And I don't know
Speaker 1: even if he bumps into guard, he's still a good
Speaker 1: football player. So if we do draft him, I'd probably
Speaker 1: keep my eye out for a guy like Rosengarden later maybe,
Speaker 1: but he's the best player on the board.
Speaker 2: I'd probably go in that direction. How do you feel
Speaker 2: about that, Jason.
Speaker 3: You are really good. Patrick Paul's the other one that
Speaker 3: sticks out, But I feel like he's going to be
Speaker 3: a little more of a work in progress you want.
Speaker 3: And if you're saying we need a left tackle right now,
Speaker 3: someone that we feel like can step in, I mean
Speaker 3: maybe he's going to need a little work, but feels
Speaker 3: a little more polished right.
Speaker 1: Def I mean he's a three year starter at Anisoda
Speaker 1: and the athletic upside is something that I think you
Speaker 1: feel really good about.
Speaker 2: So Jordan Morgan would probably be the pick here for me.
Speaker 1: Again, I think this illustrates the issue of going into
Speaker 1: the draft addressing all of your needs, Like this isn't
Speaker 1: a reach here.
Speaker 2: This feels like a really good selection.
Speaker 1: For this team, But a guy that you know, again
Speaker 1: might end up being a guard in a couple of years.
Speaker 3: So yeah, big guy six six three twenty.
Speaker 1: Six six three twenty moves like a dancing bear. Really
Speaker 1: a really exciting prospect. But to me kind of feels
Speaker 1: like could be Sam Cosby, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there, all.
Speaker 3: Right, So now we have four picks later at number forty,
Speaker 3: just to let you know what happened after we picked
Speaker 3: Morgan maximil and went off the board sanders Hill and
Speaker 3: then Kamari Lassiter. So a little run on the corners
Speaker 3: right there. Now we would like to add a corner,
Speaker 3: but I don't. I think that this lines up perfectly
Speaker 3: for us. We can still take another tackle if we wanted, if.
Speaker 2: We wanted to, Yeah, if we wanted to hear, or
Speaker 2: we go edge.
Speaker 3: Or we could go at. We have options.
Speaker 1: I just keep seeing Peyton Wilson's name here and I
Speaker 1: think he's a He's a first round player.
Speaker 2: He's right here on the board. I like him a lot.
Speaker 1: Another one is Keon Coleman in terms of adding size
Speaker 1: and contested catchability the receiving group. I'm I'm hit or
Speaker 1: miss on ke On Coleban, But I do think, you know,
Speaker 1: can he develop? Can he get a little bit better.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of taking a receiver here.
Speaker 2: TJ.
Speaker 1: Tampa's a guy that I love as corner. Yes, can
Speaker 1: play outside, would dude wants to hit too?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Interesting depth piece there, So it kind of again, it
Speaker 1: just depends on where your evaluation is. Right now, the
Speaker 1: best player according to my draft board that I have
Speaker 1: is Peyton Wilson. Yeah, so I would probably lean that way,
Speaker 1: but you know, we've got a lot of linebackers on the.
Speaker 3: We have a lot of linebackers. I feel like he
Speaker 3: would be he would kind of him and Jamin may
Speaker 3: be kind of the same in a way, right, because
Speaker 3: they're they're fast and they're athletic. Right, So what role
Speaker 3: is he going to fill with Bobby Wagner, Luvu and
Speaker 3: Jamon What is Peyton Wilson going to do? Now? I
Speaker 3: get what you're saying, best player available, right, Like we
Speaker 3: have a high or you have a high grade on him,
Speaker 3: Just take them. We'll figure it out later. Right, I'm
Speaker 3: one hundred percent down for that. But is is he
Speaker 3: so good here that you're willing to not take a
Speaker 3: piece at another key position that we do need to
Speaker 3: fill at.
Speaker 1: Is edgern Cooper I'm assuming he is still on the
Speaker 1: board here right at linebacker.
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick look at linebacker.
Speaker 3: There we go, Edrin Cooper is still there.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: I'm a Jeremiah Trotter guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Edrin Cooper is interesting because I think he fits
Speaker 1: what Dan wants to be a little bit more past
Speaker 1: rush ability. Can have two kind of guys in the
Speaker 1: middle there. Yeah, I personally think he probably is rated
Speaker 1: too low. He's the fifty ninth player on PFF board.
Speaker 1: This seems a little bit too low for him. So
Speaker 1: if Washington ended up taking him here, I think that
Speaker 1: would be a great pick at forty. But it really
Speaker 1: comes down to like value and so do you want
Speaker 1: to take a receiver here?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's this is a little bit messy edge rusher, any
Speaker 1: elite edge rusher here? Adisa Isaac is interesting.
Speaker 3: So we don't pick again until sixty seven, so we
Speaker 3: don't have the luxury I think of waiting for certain
Speaker 3: positions now with edge with Isaac, Elis braswell Nielan. I
Speaker 3: like Solomon to away, but Trice Mo Kamara Like with
Speaker 3: these guys here, I feel comfortable that one of them
Speaker 3: is going to be there in the next round at
Speaker 3: the very least.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I really same thing with wide receiver.
Speaker 2: I really like Marshawn Nielan.
Speaker 1: I really like marsha Nielan quite a bit, and I
Speaker 1: would probably some people would say this is a reach,
Speaker 1: but I would think about going that direction here, honestly,
Speaker 1: and then TJ.
Speaker 2: Tampa.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably the direction I would go, Honestly.
Speaker 1: I love marsha nieland, but having TJ. Tampa as part
Speaker 1: of this team, especially with that being a need a
Speaker 1: guy that I think is a difference maker.
Speaker 2: I really like him as a player.
Speaker 3: I like Tampa a lot. I like how physical he is.
Speaker 3: I think he brings something that that maybe we don't
Speaker 3: quite have as far as a mentality corner.
Speaker 1: Right, and also you worry, you know, does he fit
Speaker 1: here exactly because of the lack of great ball production.
Speaker 2: I don't know. But in terms of being a good
Speaker 2: football player that's physically that's what Forbes is for got
Speaker 2: that dog mentality. I think this is a good pick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm happy with TJ. Tampa here and adding him
Speaker 3: to our corner room, sure, especially for wit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 3: All right, so now we're moving on to forty six.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be did I say forty six?
Speaker 2: I mean that's sixty sixty seven.
Speaker 3: I think this is where we're going to have to
Speaker 3: look at edge.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: We'll see how it plays out, but I think I
Speaker 3: have to get in.
Speaker 1: Oh, Eddrian Cooper went a sixty five. That's that's a
Speaker 1: tough deal there, that's a tough deal.
Speaker 2: All right. So again, who's our guy? Marshall Nieland's off
Speaker 2: the board.
Speaker 1: But Chris Braswell still here. And I don't love Chris Braswell,
Speaker 1: like he's not my favorite edge of all time. But
Speaker 1: if he's here at sixty seven, I love it pretty stoked.
Speaker 3: I love it for where he is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's a physical guy. He's bet at a
Speaker 1: very NFL ish type scheme. He's dropped into coverage. He's
Speaker 1: got I think he's got I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: got a lead power, but he's got very good power.
Speaker 1: He's got good athletic traits. This feels like the right
Speaker 1: pick for me comes from a winning program. Oh shoot,
Speaker 1: carrying on a DGS still here?
Speaker 3: Geez, that's a tackle from Yale that we were.
Speaker 1: Yeah tackling from Yeah, Yeah, that's interesting. That's really interesting
Speaker 1: to me. I don't know how you feel about that.
Speaker 3: Because I still like Trice, I still like Mo Kamara
Speaker 3: who are on the board. As far as edge rushers like,
Speaker 3: I think that there braswell may have a higher ceiling
Speaker 3: maybe those guys.
Speaker 2: But but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like what we were talking about, where
Speaker 3: we weren't going to take U Karen, I'm a DG.
Speaker 2: I'm a DG.
Speaker 3: Yeah, where we weren't going to take him earlier. I
Speaker 3: think now that we've dropped to this third round, it's like, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: now it's worth taking a little more rich with him.
Speaker 2: Let's see what we got.
Speaker 3: I think it's worth it.
Speaker 2: I think it's worth it. This guy, again is one
Speaker 2: of those guys that.
Speaker 1: You know, a little green, comes from a small school,
Speaker 1: but has got it.
Speaker 3: There's something there.
Speaker 2: So could you imagine if Morgan and him developed the
Speaker 2: way you think?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and then we have our quarterback of the future
Speaker 3: behind a nice young offensive way. Yeah absolutely, I say
Speaker 3: we take a chance. We weren't expecting this and this
Speaker 3: is kind of the best player available kind of mentality.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's exactly right. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again it's close there between braswell, but just
Speaker 1: speaks to Abadiji's upside and ceiling and trust the offensive
Speaker 1: line coach to get those boys right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we get to pick at seventy eight. Again,
Speaker 3: again a great draft picks here. All these six in
Speaker 3: the top one hundred is great in helping us.
Speaker 2: Can you leave it on the top proal quick, Yes,
Speaker 2: absolutely absolutely. So this is really interesting because it's seventy eight.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of really cool football players here, a
Speaker 1: lot of really cool skill position guys. Trey Benson from
Speaker 1: Florida State is maybe, like I've talked to multiple people
Speaker 1: around the NFL, I don't think he's here at this point,
Speaker 1: but if you were, like I've had people told me
Speaker 1: that he's the guy they think would be a true
Speaker 1: bell cow back in the NFL, that elite talent. And
Speaker 1: so I know we've got a lot of running backs
Speaker 1: on this team, but like in terms of just getting
Speaker 1: more talented running back value in the third round is very,
Speaker 1: very high. That's really really interesting and compelling. Javon Teeswalther
Speaker 1: Walker for North Carolina speeds down the field. Javon Baker again,
Speaker 1: the kind of that savvy route runner got all the
Speaker 1: tricks in the bag, a little inconsistent, and has some
Speaker 1: personality stuff that's weird, but good football player. Bucky Irving
Speaker 1: from Oregon. Interesting football player. Johnny Wilson, the freaky tall
Speaker 1: guy from Florida State. I mean, there's this is a
Speaker 1: really interesting list of guys here at seven A and
Speaker 1: they all feel The crazy thing is they all feel
Speaker 1: like really good value.
Speaker 3: So I love Johnny Wilson. But here's the thing. I've
Speaker 3: taken Johnny Wilson and all the mock drafts that I do,
Speaker 3: I kind of don't want to take him. I'm like,
Speaker 3: see what happens with a bigger receiver down the line,
Speaker 3: just only because I've taken them all the time. I
Speaker 3: love him so much, I'm constantly drafting them in these
Speaker 3: mic drafts set. I kind of want to see what
Speaker 3: happens because they're the wide receiver class is so deep.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we should take him. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to point out that at seventy eight. I think it
Speaker 1: just shows you the value of not taking a receiver earlier,
Speaker 1: because I do think devontees Walker, for all of his shortcomings,
Speaker 1: can be a true too if he develops correctly. Javal
Speaker 1: Baker can be a true too. Johnny Wilson, I think
Speaker 1: can be a true too. I think Trey Benson at
Speaker 1: seventy eight maybe the best running back in the class.
Speaker 2: So really interesting selection here is my point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I think that we're Our dilemma here in
Speaker 3: the war room with you and me is going to
Speaker 3: be do we want to add to this offense to
Speaker 3: try and make it super dynamic because we've done nothing
Speaker 3: but pick offense right now it's up for TJ Tampa
Speaker 3: or do we want to say, you know what, Trey Benson, Yeah,
Speaker 3: a possible home run here. But you know what, Marshawn Lloyd,
Speaker 3: Ray Davis, will Shipley like these guys, they're like, there's
Speaker 3: solid guys that we can get later.
Speaker 2: Thing with wide receiver, we just look on the receiver.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to read some guys that were down
Speaker 1: the list, just for people to kind of here because
Speaker 1: obviously the guys we just mentioned, but then you got
Speaker 1: Jalen McMillan from you, dub Malik Washington, kind of that shorter,
Speaker 1: super shifty slot player, Jamari Thrash. Again, I think a
Speaker 1: very skilled receiver Jacob Cowing gets a lot of comps
Speaker 1: to Deshaun Jackson in terms of explosive ability, Brendan Rice
Speaker 1: a big receiver, later TODs Washington small. So the point is,
Speaker 1: you know, even Cornelius Johnson at one forty seven in
Speaker 1: terms of player rank, a lot of really talented guys.
Speaker 1: Jalen Cocher from Holy Cross, very skilled rat runner. That's
Speaker 1: a bigger receiver. So as tempting it, it is here
Speaker 1: to take a playmaker, I think there are playmakers down
Speaker 1: the road. It just depends on our tiers. Right, are
Speaker 1: we more locked into the talent of some of these
Speaker 1: other guys And then that's that's a question that you
Speaker 1: know we would only have to do is consulting our
Speaker 1: big board.
Speaker 3: So I think we just go with how the draft
Speaker 3: has fallen to us to be us here and do
Speaker 3: kind of the same thing we did with TJ Tampa
Speaker 3: and just before where we weren't expecting this guy to
Speaker 3: be here. Let's just let's just go for it. I
Speaker 3: know we still need an ed rusher, but Trice is
Speaker 3: still there, Mo Kamara is still there. I'm I feel
Speaker 3: like I'm going to take a chance here, go with
Speaker 3: the home run hitter on offense and trust in wit
Speaker 3: and they're going to be able to grab a guy
Speaker 3: a little bit later that has the mentality they like
Speaker 3: and get something out of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I agree, I think Yeah, trade Batson
Speaker 1: seems like a very And again this is where the
Speaker 1: you know, valuing the board and letting the draft come
Speaker 1: to you is interesting and running back value of the
Speaker 1: third round is great.
Speaker 2: So I like this pick quite a lot.
Speaker 3: He's he could be something really special with the new
Speaker 3: kickoff rules too.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, getting the guy like back that back there. I
Speaker 3: know we re sign Crowder, but we haven't seen this
Speaker 3: in the NFL yet, So maybe having both those guys
Speaker 3: back there or at different like maybe crowds are punk
Speaker 3: guy and is a return guy. I don't know, there
Speaker 3: could be something pretty special there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And again here we're on our board and you got
Speaker 1: Jallex Hunt just sitting here staring right at you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: seems like it's too good to pass up from an
Speaker 1: athletic upside ability, you know what I'm saying. Like he's
Speaker 1: pretty special. Brendan Jackson, Mohammed Kamara either one of those guys.
Speaker 1: I prefer Mohammed Kamara from the pass rush up.
Speaker 3: I like Mohammad Khmara a lot, But.
Speaker 1: I think Jallex hunt Is maybe gives you some more
Speaker 1: flexibility in terms of and has that kind of freaky
Speaker 1: athletic profile.
Speaker 2: You know, pass rushers aren't built like that very often.
Speaker 1: So that would be again to me at what is this?
Speaker 1: This is pick one hundred and the third.
Speaker 3: Round, take one hundred, we pick again at one thirty nine.
Speaker 1: You know, he fits to me, he fits kind of
Speaker 1: the vision for Dan. And what I mean by that
Speaker 1: is he he played like a stand up three four
Speaker 1: SAM linebacker, you know. And you know he's six ' four,
Speaker 1: two forty eight, he's got really long arms, and he
Speaker 1: and he has pass rushed juice. Now he's on not
Speaker 1: always super productive, he's super raw. But I just look
Speaker 1: at those traits and I look at how he was
Speaker 1: in college, and I look how.
Speaker 2: He was at the Cedar Bolly.
Speaker 1: He's little quite at the Cedar Bowl, and I say
Speaker 1: to myself, like, man, that could be something pretty special
Speaker 1: given the right coaching, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So we were talking about Mo Kamara and now he's here,
Speaker 3: we can take him. And you're pivoting a little bit
Speaker 3: here on Hunt. Is that because like you're like, well,
Speaker 3: Mo Kamara is good at this certain spot, and I
Speaker 3: didn't expect to Hunt to be here. Yeah, Like, who
Speaker 3: would you rather take in this spot? Kamara or Hunt?
Speaker 1: I think, you know, like I'm getting a little bit
Speaker 1: swayed by the PFF rankings here. I think in terms
Speaker 1: of my board, I probably have Kamara.
Speaker 3: I'm with you there. I have him higher than Hunt
Speaker 3: on mine too.
Speaker 1: But I think they're both. They both fit, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think they both fit. I know they like
Speaker 1: Hunt because of the things I just mentioned. But in
Speaker 1: terms of being this is our draft, Yeah, we're being
Speaker 1: true to ourself.
Speaker 2: I probably this is our draft. I think he's got
Speaker 2: a little bit Mohammed Kamara has got a little more juice.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go with him. And while we're scrolling
Speaker 3: down the one thirty nine, why don't you tell me
Speaker 3: a little bit about Mo Camara.
Speaker 2: Yes, so, Mohama Kamara is a smaller guy.
Speaker 1: I think he's like he's just under six to one,
Speaker 1: like two forty five, so kind of a low center
Speaker 1: gravity guy. But man, he gets off the football. Been
Speaker 1: very productive at Colorado State in terms of sack production,
Speaker 1: which is always great to see. And like we've always
Speaker 1: we talked about this a ton on this show with
Speaker 1: edge rushers, Like the number one thing is production and traits.
Speaker 2: And so when he runs a four or five at
Speaker 2: the combine, you see that.
Speaker 1: You see the athletic traits there when he runs, when
Speaker 1: he when he's been very productive, you know that he's
Speaker 1: got the feel required to be productive at the next level.
Speaker 1: I just think he could be a chess piece for
Speaker 1: dan Quinn and went in this defense, uh to put
Speaker 1: them to put themselves in the best position to be successful.
Speaker 3: All right, so we're at pick one thirty nine. Let's
Speaker 3: look at some tight ends. Okay, Uh cause Theo Johnson
Speaker 3: sitting here and he's the tight end freak in this class.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the tight end freak for sure. You know.
Speaker 1: I just think I think the thing I have a
Speaker 1: hard time with is like, what's what are they looking for?
Speaker 1: You know, because if you want a blocking y with
Speaker 1: past game upside, like, that's the direction you want to go, right,
Speaker 1: Tim Ryman also kind of same thing. But if you're
Speaker 1: looking for a true f you know, jaheem Bell I
Speaker 1: think tested like disappointed me a little bit, but is
Speaker 1: explosive and dynamic in that way in terms of best
Speaker 1: player available. Maybe that's the direction we go. I look
Speaker 1: at Cole Bishop, you know, from Utah. I love cold
Speaker 1: Bishop from Utah, Dwayne Carter as a kind of rotational
Speaker 1: guy with pass rush upside on the interior from Duke. Interesting,
Speaker 1: We've drafted two offensive linemens, so that seems redundant to draft.
Speaker 2: Isaiah Adams from Illinois.
Speaker 1: Maurice Lufau is a guy linebacker that I absolutely love.
Speaker 1: I love and four the fourth round might be a
Speaker 1: little rich, but I really really like him, really like him.
Speaker 3: I like him a lot too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He's very aggressive, very hills, very physical, and he's long too.
Speaker 1: He's six ' three, he's three forty two forty excuse me,
Speaker 1: very traditional in terms of I'm back or build.
Speaker 2: And so I do like him quite a bit.
Speaker 3: All right, So what do you think we could go?
Speaker 3: I think Cole Bishop is intriguing. I think THEO Johnson's intriguing,
Speaker 3: or at least a tight end is intriguing in this area.
Speaker 3: I think we can kind of do whatever we want.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't want to be married here to
Speaker 3: the best available in the PFF big board, because we're
Speaker 3: getting in the fifth round. Here to where I think
Speaker 3: we just need to take guys that are our guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I mean, you know, Cold Bishop is my guy.
Speaker 2: I really like.
Speaker 3: I like col Bishop.
Speaker 2: I think we're forgetting. What about receivers, is there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go. Look. I know I was hoping for
Speaker 3: Brandon Rice, but he went just a little bit early earlier.
Speaker 3: Just fine.
Speaker 1: So if you want big receivers, you got Cornelius Johnson
Speaker 1: from Michigan. I think he's sixty three about to ten.
Speaker 1: Jalen Coker is really interesting too, big big fella six
Speaker 1: three two thirteen runs good routes right, a little slow
Speaker 1: at the combine, but you know, if you wanted to
Speaker 1: go that direction, I don't know if anybody knocks your
Speaker 1: socks off there as a playmaker at the position. I'm honestly, dude, like,
Speaker 1: just looking at this list, I think Cold Bishop I
Speaker 1: have a I have a third round grade on him.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you feel about him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Cold Bishop a lot. So here's here's
Speaker 3: what I'm debating between. So talk me into one or
Speaker 3: the other. All right, Yeah, we were looking at wide receivers,
Speaker 3: and uh, for me, I would want a bigger wide
Speaker 3: receiver to pair with Terry and john Right, So why
Speaker 3: not go with like a Theo Johnson.
Speaker 2: Here in terms of just such.
Speaker 3: Just a size that can catch the ball. I wonder
Speaker 3: if over some of those other wide receivers and over
Speaker 3: Cole Bishop or I am I like Cole Bishop a lot.
Speaker 3: So talk me into if you're if you're Joe witt Right,
Speaker 3: talk me into we need to take a defensive guy here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's a guy that ran a four
Speaker 1: four five at the combine. He's six ' three, he's
Speaker 1: two hundred and five pounds, and he can he can run.
Speaker 1: He's got great He's got really fantastic instincts to the football.
Speaker 1: You know, he reminds me a lot of like Eric Weddle,
Speaker 1: his ability to like play near the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: play back, kind of this like hybrid star player that
Speaker 1: I think is is a lot of fun to watch.
Speaker 1: My only question with him is like is he redundant?
Speaker 1: You know, does he add enough value? Because we've got
Speaker 1: you know, we got the Percy Butler's, we got the forests,
Speaker 1: we've got the quond Martins.
Speaker 2: He's very much in that mold.
Speaker 1: I think he gives you a little bit more flexibility
Speaker 1: than those guys in certain instances specifically, like I think
Speaker 1: he's very similar to kwond you know, And how much
Speaker 1: are you going to use those guys in this system
Speaker 1: would be my question because when you watch Dallas, right,
Speaker 1: they have all these safeties that do multiple different things.
Speaker 1: They're playing linebacker, they're playing safety, they're playing nickel. He
Speaker 1: has that skill set, so I think he's the one
Speaker 1: thing I would say is he lacks elite arm length,
Speaker 1: which you know makes it tough to match up with
Speaker 1: tight ends. I think THEO Johnson, you know, So that's
Speaker 1: kind of my argument defensively, okay, and then THEO Johnson
Speaker 1: I like him, I don't love him in the sense
Speaker 1: that he doesn't He's not a super flexible athlete. He's fast, straight,
Speaker 1: he can block a little bit, Just like, what are
Speaker 1: you going to use him for? I think, you know,
Speaker 1: you have John Bates, who I think is probably better
Speaker 1: than him in that and that in that way he doesn't.
Speaker 1: He is a special athlete. And you know, one of
Speaker 1: the things that drive tight end production is traits. He's
Speaker 1: got the traits.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, all right, last one to throw
Speaker 3: at you, I know, I'm throwing a couple out there,
Speaker 3: all right. So I just while you were talking, I
Speaker 3: went and looked at my big board, and I have
Speaker 3: Cold Bishop as a fourth round, So this would be
Speaker 3: ideal here, right. Also, what about the foul here?
Speaker 2: The foul? I mean, I like the foul A lot.
Speaker 1: He's a little too rich, you think I don't. I like,
Speaker 1: what is this fifth round? It feels right for me
Speaker 1: of where I would take him, you know, like in
Speaker 1: terms of value, not overly instinctive but physical. Yes, And
Speaker 1: he can rush the passer. Reminds me a lot of
Speaker 1: Lavao or Luvu excuse me.
Speaker 3: So so that's why I'm bringing it up, because what
Speaker 3: if you bring in a guy uh here like Lafoul
Speaker 3: with Luvu and Wagner who can like coach him up
Speaker 3: a little bit, right, Because that's what he didn't lack
Speaker 3: one motor, He doesn't lack one will right, like trades. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's got all those things. So it's like, all right,
Speaker 3: well he's going to get in here in a good
Speaker 3: linebacker room, and we're going to teach him. So when
Speaker 3: Bobby Wagner moves on right and decides to go get
Speaker 3: his gold jacket, there's a young guy ready to step up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think of that?
Speaker 1: I like that actually because I think he can. I
Speaker 1: think you're at this point in the fifth round, you're
Speaker 1: looking for guys that can project to starting roles. We
Speaker 1: talked about I think taking a linebacker and Peyton Wilson
Speaker 1: in the second round. I think this is kind of
Speaker 1: the best of both worlds because I in terms of
Speaker 1: guys that I think could start in the NFL, I
Speaker 1: think he can start in the NFL. He just needs
Speaker 1: the right environment.
Speaker 3: And this good environment.
Speaker 2: Good environment.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so this is this was a good exercise
Speaker 3: because Cole Bishop, we both have his quote unquote the
Speaker 3: best player available, if you will. But the foul fits
Speaker 3: so well here that like, even though we're not getting
Speaker 3: the same value quote unquote according to our personal big boards,
Speaker 3: it just to fit makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, it makes sense.
Speaker 3: So uh and we talk all the time it's about
Speaker 3: bringing a guy in and what do you do with
Speaker 3: that guy because he can be the most talented thing
Speaker 3: in the world. But if he doesn't fit with what
Speaker 3: you're trying to do. Yeah, right, so he feels like
Speaker 3: more of a fit here, So let's go with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that. That was actually a nice call
Speaker 2: out by you. That was fun.
Speaker 3: All right, So we're going the one fifty two and
Speaker 3: only two picks left, So round five, one fifty two.
Speaker 3: THEO Johnson's still here. I mean it's intriguing.
Speaker 2: It is intriguing.
Speaker 1: The only one, the only other day i'd see out
Speaker 1: here that I just would give a shout out to
Speaker 1: would be like Cam Heart.
Speaker 2: If you wanted some quarterback depth, we got TJ.
Speaker 3: Tampa. Cam Hart is like Benjamin Saint just to me
Speaker 3: in kind of like his build and maybe how you'll play,
Speaker 3: got a.
Speaker 1: Little bit better competitive like mentality, like when I watched
Speaker 1: Am on physics.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm saying I know what you mean. That's
Speaker 3: not knocking sane, it's just a different type.
Speaker 2: Of place dynamic coverage player.
Speaker 1: I think Cam Hunt Hart, excuse me, has like a
Speaker 1: little he's a little galltle more edge to him, which
Speaker 1: I enjoy watching, right, But I think if you need
Speaker 1: a tight end NTHEO Johnson's here, I think that's the pick.
Speaker 2: Honestly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I agree. We were just debating over him.
Speaker 3: So let's just he's here, Let's go take him. Yeah,
Speaker 3: all right, one more pick left, two twenty two, so
Speaker 3: we got a little bit of time to time to
Speaker 3: kill here because we don't have a.
Speaker 2: Set another tight end to just keep an eye.
Speaker 1: It would be like jail At Hulker because he did
Speaker 1: basically play like wide receiver at Colorado State, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like just he's interesting for sure.
Speaker 3: So all right, so now I think this is where
Speaker 3: we find a guy with a tree that we like yep,
Speaker 3: and all those other flaws that we may see in
Speaker 3: or whatever push him to the side. We're in the
Speaker 3: seventh round, last pick in the draft. We're going to
Speaker 3: try and hit on a tree.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, if we're talking to traits obviously.
Speaker 1: James Williams, who's then everyone player on pff sport, is
Speaker 1: a linebacker that converted to our safety that converted the linebacker.
Speaker 1: He's six ' five, he's two thirty. Very physical, downhill
Speaker 1: style linebacker, you know what I mean. A guy that
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun to watch. You know, he's
Speaker 1: going to have to transition to the next level, but
Speaker 1: could play teams for you. I think Tanner McLaughlin here,
Speaker 1: that tight end from Arizona, is really interesting because he's
Speaker 1: a converted wide receiver. He's six ' five, he's two
Speaker 1: forty five, little in size for tight end, but has
Speaker 1: good ball ability. Joe Milton, the quarterback, is extremely interesting
Speaker 1: because he's a freak.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want that would be cool to pair
Speaker 3: him with Jaden, I know, but I don't want to.
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that to my young guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want.
Speaker 1: Let's go down a little bit. So those are a
Speaker 1: couple of names that stick out here. Who else we got?
Speaker 1: We got a lot of quarterbacks, but Meads is a
Speaker 1: big receiver that has some good physicality to him from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: Who else?
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't say his name? MBI, okay, Omanami, let's
Speaker 1: look right to you, Omanama.
Speaker 3: Sure the edge from Charlotte.
Speaker 2: He's got some juice. What's his measurables?
Speaker 1: I don't even know, but I watched this film the
Speaker 1: other day. He's got a little bit of like that.
Speaker 1: I think he transferred from a different school to Charlotte.
Speaker 1: I think it was Miami if I remember correctly. He's
Speaker 1: older prospect, but a guy. Again, if you're looking for
Speaker 1: some pastros upside, not a bad idea here.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3: He's a project, but they mostly are in this area.
Speaker 1: Mostly a project yeah, Sam Hartman, if we want an
Speaker 1: attractive guy, he's right there.
Speaker 2: Frank Crumb from Wyoming is very interesting to me here.
Speaker 3: All right, this is a name that not a lot
Speaker 3: of people know, but I a excellent name. Frank Crumb
Speaker 3: from Wyoming. He's a tackle. Tell me about Frank Crumb.
Speaker 2: So, Frank Crumb is I think he's six eight? Is
Speaker 2: he six? A out therea six seven three?
Speaker 1: I think he's measured at three twenty at the mine.
Speaker 2: He ran the.
Speaker 1: Fastest forty at the combine. You know that excellent change
Speaker 1: of direction for what for an offensive lineman? So I
Speaker 1: ran a four to nine four nine forty fastest fastest
Speaker 1: forty for the position. And so that's that's with guys
Speaker 1: like Amarius Mims and all these other guys like he's
Speaker 1: a freak, Yeah, a little bit of a wild horse,
Speaker 1: but a guy that you say, like, if you're looking
Speaker 1: for someone who could project to the NFL and we
Speaker 1: want to make sure that they can get him on
Speaker 1: our team, we.
Speaker 2: Get him on our roster.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that I wouldn't hate taking a flyer
Speaker 1: on of the seventh you know, as a guy that so,
Speaker 1: so what's.
Speaker 3: The trait that you're buying the six, seven, three, fifteen.
Speaker 2: Runs that big. He's big.
Speaker 1: He's just an athlete's bigger athlete. I think he's got
Speaker 1: decent arm link. They don't remember off the top of
Speaker 1: my head, but a guy that because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of these offensive lineman he drafted the seventh and are
Speaker 1: free agents. They don't turn into anything, right, they don't
Speaker 1: become anything. And one of the reasons they don't become
Speaker 1: anything is because they don't They physically can't do it.
Speaker 2: He can physically can do it.
Speaker 1: And so if you've got an offensive line coach that
Speaker 1: you think can develop and turn him into something, I
Speaker 1: don't hate that at the seventh round spot, especially if
Speaker 1: you're unsure that you can get him as a as
Speaker 1: a udf A.
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Frank Crumb from absolutely that's a name.
Speaker 2: That's a name, that's a name and a half.
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, wild horse. Okay, So here's the results
Speaker 3: of our seven round commanders mock and draft that we did.
Speaker 3: And uh, I'll just I'll walk this down Adam Peter's
Speaker 3: office when we're.
Speaker 2: Done and be like he got just so you know,
Speaker 2: laugh at your face.
Speaker 3: No, I'm just kidding. Much smarter than me.
Speaker 2: Peters is such a nice guy. Oh, thank you consideration.
Speaker 3: He doesn't know who I am, and let's keep it
Speaker 3: that way, all right. So round one, pick two we
Speaker 3: went with Jade and Daniels. We'd be happy with Drake
Speaker 3: Jaden McCarthy right, like McCarthy, Like, I think our fans
Speaker 3: are going to be like, what, but really it's not
Speaker 3: that shocking if you think it. Right, then we did
Speaker 3: Jordan Morgan the tackle from Arizona, followed by TJ. Tampa
Speaker 3: from Iowas eight. We felt like he was there, he's
Speaker 3: a good player, let's just take him, which then went
Speaker 3: into the best player available on that board because we
Speaker 3: were debating them just a couple of picks before Kieran
Speaker 3: I am a jigbie.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, buddy, we're wor Karen.
Speaker 3: We'll get it when you're here. I promise you. I'll
Speaker 3: get it. You're from Yale. Uh then, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, like really athletic upside.
Speaker 3: Yeah great, And I love that we have two tackles
Speaker 3: the in the.
Speaker 1: First especially with Jordan who is a good football player
Speaker 1: but might ended up being a guard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. We have we you know what,
Speaker 3: two chances right from talented guys. And then uh hey,
Speaker 3: we saw a home run in the making, so why
Speaker 3: not try it here with Tray Benson, the hat back
Speaker 3: from Florida State. Then the edge Mo Camara. We like
Speaker 3: this guy. We are glad we got him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, then you know, obviously PFF think I think that's
Speaker 1: a reach, but I think both of us are higher
Speaker 1: on him than PFF.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't care what PFF says. This is our guys.
Speaker 3: We trust our evaluation. We did this for so long.
Speaker 3: I'm trusting evaluation here. Okay, the linebacker say his name
Speaker 3: for foul. We think he's gonna be great here with Bobby.
Speaker 2: And especially the fifth round, that's great.
Speaker 3: Bobby Swagner is going to teach him something. And then
Speaker 3: we have the tight end, Theo Johnson from Penn Estate.
Speaker 2: Of the draft honestly, yeah, he really fell.
Speaker 3: And we're starting to take traits here right These last
Speaker 3: two like just athletes. Hopefully we can get some to
Speaker 3: work out. And that's why you took Frank Crumb, who
Speaker 3: I watched the zero film of. But because you are
Speaker 3: Logan Paulson, the dude, do you watch him? I don't
Speaker 3: care what Fred Smoot says Fred Smout has no idea
Speaker 3: who Frank Crumb is, and that's why you're the draft guru,
Speaker 3: because you know who Frank Krumb from Wyoming.
Speaker 1: Is got with some traits that you know, you know,
Speaker 1: long shots of developing is something.
Speaker 2: But at least he ken development of something.
Speaker 3: So that's our mock draft.
Speaker 2: That's what I feel pretty good about it. That's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think I think we got to hit
Speaker 1: the notes, you know, quarterback, offensive line, quarterback. We've done
Speaker 1: a couple of these over the core, you know, just
Speaker 1: us hanging out together, and I feel like this is
Speaker 1: the one that we kind of hit everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we kind of got everything we needed.
Speaker 3: And it's just I think we did a really good
Speaker 3: job of putting strategy into it. How do we win
Speaker 3: right now with some of these guys? How do we
Speaker 3: take the guy that fits what we need? How do
Speaker 3: we when do we take a guy that's like, oh man,
Speaker 3: we didn't expect him to be here, Let's just grab him, right,
Speaker 3: betting on that, betting on trades, Like just our draft
Speaker 3: strategy changed as we went through. And that's real.
Speaker 2: That's fluid.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, draft rooms got to be fluid.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, this is pretty good.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty happy.
Speaker 1: Especially after honestly, like I'm not kidding, after the third round.
Speaker 1: So Trey Benson, Mohamed Kamara, Maurice Luafu, Theo Johnson and
Speaker 1: Frank from Lafou excuse me, those four guys while they're
Speaker 1: they're third round and below because of their athletic upside,
Speaker 1: could be starters.
Speaker 3: For this It could be something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's pretty exciting.
Speaker 3: Not everybody pans out, but we've been on some traits
Speaker 3: here that could be something.
Speaker 2: Feeling good, man, it could be something.
Speaker 3: What a draft man, what a process? What a draft season?
Speaker 2: Yep? Absolutely, I tell you what.
Speaker 3: My wife has never been matter at the amount of
Speaker 3: football that I've been watching the off season.
Speaker 2: It's the off season. We feel the same.
Speaker 3: So happy. But uh, you know, one of the biggest
Speaker 3: blessings was having a baby during this time because she
Speaker 3: gets up in the middle of the night and I
Speaker 3: just crank out some film at three am. She's just resting,
Speaker 3: trying to fall asleep in my arms, and I'm just
Speaker 3: I just got Frank Cruft. Just watch look at that hit,
Speaker 3: look at the look at that look at that mentality.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: Right, Absolutely, let's go do it, and then you know
Speaker 1: this is going to be your Like those those draft
Speaker 1: nerds out there, this is your last little bit of
Speaker 1: drug before the actual thing happens. So we're really excited
Speaker 1: for the for the actual draft this week.
Speaker 3: Let's tune in the Facebook YouTube x. We will be
Speaker 3: live when we're on the clock. Commander's Only, Commanders Centric.
Speaker 3: We don't care what the cowboys are doing.
Speaker 2: We don't care.
Speaker 3: It's about us and what's best for our team. And
Speaker 3: nobody can talk about that more than the guys who
Speaker 3: are in the building and played for this wonderful organization.
