WEBVTT - HR1: Draft Focus 0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:07.680 This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.240 on your twenty four to seven Home of the Black 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:15.200 and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.639 Well, according to the drive, I am Dale Lolly, he 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:25.360 is the Matt Williamson and Matt the Steelers draft visits 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:26.759 are completed. 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.240 Everybody, Today's the last day is the last day. 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:37.920 So today they head in Junior Colson. Interesting, they head 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.320 in Penn State Center Hunter norse ed. 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:43.120 Okay, that adds up for sure, even if he wasn't 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.000 a close guy, which he doesn't count as the freebie visit, right, 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.840 I don't believe that he does. I don't think. Yeah. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.360 And then they also head in and this is from 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:56.920 the International Pathway Program, offensive tackle Travis Clayton, who's from England. 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.360 Okay, yeah, that one I can't comment on. 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.800 Don't know anything, right, Yeah. So if you look at 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.400 the overall process here of who they have had in. 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.560 So it's been released every team's visits, they're done. If 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.520 you weren't in today or can't come in again, right, 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:13.759 I mean. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:14.399 It's finished. 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:15.280 Yeah, that is done. 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.280 The guys that the Steelers have had in at the 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.080 wide receiver position, it's been a Donnie Mitchell did you. 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.360 Hear the news about him today? No? So, Bob McGinn 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.320 puts out something very good stuff, very good stuff, And 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.160 the first of the eight part series came out today. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.479 I subscribed. I'll send it to you. I haven't even 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.560 opened it yet, but three different people told me in 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:43.000 that report he had Mitchell has a diabetes problem. That 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.800 and I'm getting a certain hand information. I have not 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.960 yet read it, but it basically says when my blood 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.320 sugar is loan, it happens a lot during games. I 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.280 have a hard time giving all effort. I'm very uncoachable 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.240 and I know it, and it's a problem for him, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.400 you know. And I know some I know, like Mark 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.080 Andrews and some others have dealt with it and deal 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.720 with it better. But it's an issue right now. I mean, 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.280 and I'm sure people want to get their hands on 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.200 that and figure out how manageable it is. 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:15.600 Yeah, Uh, Luke McCaffrey, Okay, it'd be a slot. Malachi Corley, 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:20.880 he'd probably be both uh TOAJ Washington, mostly a slot, 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:21.520 I'd say. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:26.600 Yeah, yeah, Xavierly get more of a downfield outside numbers type, 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.280 but yeah, good after they catch and Ricky Pearsaw I 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.920 think he's all the above. So you have a good group. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.960 One basically one first round wide receiver. 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.519 Yeah, I think Mitchell's the only one you'd consider in 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:38.440 the first. 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.720 Then you're looking at maybe Courley Leget pearsaw is Day 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.359 two guys agreed, and then McCaffrey and TOAJ Washington more. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.440 Round four is four or five. Yeah, and they're the slots, 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.200 And I think that's not an accident that you're not 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:57.720 looking at big prototypical x's at the fifth round. Neighborhood 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.880 here to get those guys early, Yeah, makes you think 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:02.560 that might go for an outside physical die and a 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.240 slot maybe. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.000 Or they're looking day two, day they're not. Look, they're 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.880 not really looking hard at a wide receiver in round one. 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.640 A grade agree, Like if Brian Thomas Junior would have 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.840 been here, I would have been not junior to the 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.399 second or whatever. Yeah, Yeah, that would have been more 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.480 of an alarm bell. But I think Mitchell will go 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.280 in the first round. The chances he ends up with 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.880 Pittsburgh probably slim. Yeah, that may have maybe one two. 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.200 I mean it was interesting to me, and this may 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.320 have just been coincidental that the Donnie Mitchell meeting happened 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.160 right after Steffan Diggs got traded to Houston. Oh yeah, right, 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.080 like within days, like two days. Hey, Buffalo, we might 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.640 take your guy. Yeah, yeah, you might come trade up 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:46.560 on the offensive line. 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.240 A lot of guys. Graham Barton makes all the sense 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.080 in the world. Mason McCormick also makes all the sense 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.080 in the world. Hey, how comfortable you play in center, 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:02.400 Zach Frazier. You're very comfortable playing s Tyler Geyiton, Okay, 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:03.760 I mean I think you just want to get to 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.280 know him, work, ethic, love of the game. Same with 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:07.880 Mems in that type of way. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.280 Jackson powers Johnson. 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.920 These are all the top centers in the draft. Blake Fisher, yeah, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.480 I mean he could be a second round Maybe sneak 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.000 him in the third round option. 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.960 Steven Jones, that's the Oregon kid. Oh okay, yeah, I 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.359 don't know a ton about him, but he'd be a 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.919 mid rounder. Matt Goncleaves interesting. 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.720 I like him more and more too. I think he 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.839 can play in the league. You might get him at 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.440 a somewhat of a discount this year. To Lasi Fuaga. 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.080 It'd be first round mix obviously. Yeah. Travis Glover from 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.600 Georgia State interesting player too. There's some multiple clay there. 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.760 He's got a lot of traits. Maybe get him in 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:43.359 the fifth round. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.400 Yeah, Amarus Mims, we know who he is, and he'd 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.159 be a lot like Geydon. 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:49.799 Yeah, the linebackers. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.080 The only brought two linebackers and they brought Peyton Wilson 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.159 in and then Junior Colson. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.960 Yeah, that's interesting to me. I mean, I guess if 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.800 the price is right, they would pull the trigger on him. 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:00.400 I don't want to look too much ahead of it 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.800 and say that means Holcomb's not going to play for 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.720 a long time, right, because those guys will be Those 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.000 guys are probably going around two. 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.400 Yeah, but if you may bring them in and say, well, 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.480 you know, if something happened and they were available in round. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.160 Three, there's probably a They probably love the players, yeah, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.400 I mean when you could see why. I'm sure they 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.280 want to do medical checks on Wilson like crazy, whether 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.200 that's for now or when he hits free agency in 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.200 four years or whatever. But I don't know that either 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.359 one will be a Steeler. That seems far fetched, but 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.440 there is a price you would pay for them. Of course. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.000 Defensive lineman Christian. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:36.159 Boyd, we draft him all the time fit. Yeah, Jayden 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.039 Coremedi from Michigan State. That's a n zippy state I 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.800 should say. Yeah, he's a late round like yeah, nose 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:43.360 tackle type. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.599 Nose tackle type, yeah. Logan Lee from Iowa. He's not 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.680 a nose tackle type. He's more than three four D 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.800 n right. Yeah, Massan Smith, same thing. Sure, I'm sure 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.680 you want to talk to him and medicals on him too. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.000 Braden Fisk, that's a weird one for me, but he 0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:59.400 would be an end here, you know. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.839 I he's so active that I don't care that he 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.000 does everything else that you want. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.440 He's the energizer bunny, right, I mean, like you know 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:09.440 he's on the field. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.560 Yeah, he runs like he You watch Cam Young, Cam 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:19.000 Hayward when he was still really athletic. Yeah, maybe it's 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:23.080 Braden Fisk running around ten ten yards downfield you're coming down, 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.400 just destroying the running back. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.560 The energy he brings is very palatable. Yeah, it brings it. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:29.040 It's real. 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.120 Western Michigan had him and Marshawn neland on the same dame. 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.160 How about that. He's also older though, but I mean 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.359 there's so many old prospects on this there's nothing you 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:41.520 can do about that. Darius Robinson. Okay, so if we'll 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.560 talk about this on my podcast today, there's either twelve 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.159 or thirteen guys that are going to be at the draft. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.160 Yeah, he's one of them. 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.760 He's one of them. He's the one that stood out 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.039 like is he a first round or not? 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.320 Now, some other guys turned them down, of course, of. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.479 Course, I'm sure something would rather just be at home. Yeah, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.840 but you don't want a guy who's sitting around. I mean, 0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:59.840 he's going to go in first He's going the first round. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.839 Hyper said one hundred times in a row. He's going 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.240 in the first round. So if a Steelers looking at him, 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.560 it might be twenty or trade down to get him. Yeah, 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:08.600 that's I don't see. 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.000 He's in that range for them that they're just not 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.040 gonna be able to get him. At cornerback Cooper Dejan 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:17.080 of course. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.240 Yeah, we talked about that last on Monday. 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.080 Beanie Bishop from West Virginia. 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:22.800 That's a free d so you muy as well check 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.520 it out. Max Melton makes all of sense in the world. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.600 Maybe a round two guy Nate Wiggins. I don't know 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:32.600 where he fits here, you know what I mean, Like, 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.480 is it would it be bad to have an extra 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:39.200 outside only corner, of course not. He's extremely talented, but 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.760 he's not super physical. I mean he is a little lighter. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:47.360 I like the player, it's just he's not slot versatile. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.080 You'd figure it out. But I mean there's there's a 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.560 point you'd take him. But he wouldn't be in my 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:51.160 top twenty. 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:53.800 MJ. Devonshire from pitt that. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.400 Was at PREB. But he would also fit in. Andrew 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:00.840 Phillips from Kentucky. He's like Melton and day one hardy. Okay, 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.120 do you agree Melton and Phillips are probably the most 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.440 likely non Degene Steelers. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.400 Yeah, yeah, but you might have to at this point, 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.080 you might have to take them in round two. 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.400 I think Melton you have to, and Phillips is probably 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.600 pretty darn close. I don't think you can wait around 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.680 to the third round for him. They're both great testers too. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.560 Everything about this Matt so Pennix never came Everything that 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:26.960 never happened, that stuff never happened. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.800 Those Yeah, again, that's why you don't listen to Will 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.760 so and so reporting that they this guy is scheduled 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:33.400 to visit. 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.560 Not before Wednesday. They don't come in. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.600 I don't care if what visit was scheduled. 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.240 If they didn't come in, they weren't here. Yeah, and 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.240 maybe put out in the twenty teams schedule one ring 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.280 figure they must be one of them, which is probably 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.400 where a lot of that kind of stuff is. Yeah. Yeah, 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.040 but I look at this. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.960 And outside of the tackles, mm hmm, this screams trade down. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.120 Yeah, it does, it does. I mean, I think you 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:01.920 want to do all your homework on the Fuaggos of 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.280 the world. Of course, Hey, we love you. If you're there, 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.840 we're gonna run to the podium. I hate to say this, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.080 and maybe it's just late in the process, you know, 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.080 overthinking it. I'm not sure the desired tackles are going 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.200 to make it the twenty. I don't know. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:16.160 I don't think any of them are. 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.400 Yeah, and I wonder you include mimser guiding. I'm talking 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:20.760 about the fatanhos Well. 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.600 You mentioned Wiggins there as well, and I look at 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:29.600 Wiggins and I look at Mitchell as guys that hey, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:30.800 team's behind us. 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:31.880 We're looking at these guys. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.360 Ma, if you want to come up, if you really 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.640 want this guy, you really want that four to nine cornerback, 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:37.760 you got to come up and get him. 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.400 You really want to mention the bills of Mitchell. Maybe 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.760 one of the eagles could use the corner. 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.520 Somebody's really looking from them outside corner. And well, we 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.319 don't know if if must be interesting. Ye, we don't 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.120 know if the gene he might be a safety, he 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.880 might be an outside. We really like Wiggans better. You 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.000 better come up and get him. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.000 Yeah, and again I think the centers are mostly trade down, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.319 but you could live with them at twenty. So those 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.640 other positions you mentioned too, even like if you traded 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.800 down far, I could take Pearsall at thirty, you know, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.360 or something like that. I mean, remember I did my list. 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:10.959 He was like at the bottom of it. I mean, 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.760 but that was without all the edges and those type 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.679 of things. That has some other guys I'd take ahead 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:15.000 of him. 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.400 At thirty, but probably i'd take lad Mconky at thirty. 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.319 I have Maconukay ahead of them. Yeah, peer Saw was 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:21.959 right behind him on my list. He was ahead of 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:27.520 like Franklin. Even Mims and Geiton could be trade down types. Yeah, 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.960 you know, would you take him at twenty if you 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.640 had to, but be better at twenty five? Yeah, that 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:34.720 whole the whole things. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.920 With both of those two guys, in particular Mims and Geiton, 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.600 is that they're both right tackles. Yeah, and if you 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:48.040 make that move, are they gonna have enough snaps? 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.640 Because now you're gonna look at Broderck Jones. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.760 You can say, Broderick, Okay, we drafted a right tackles, 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.720 we're gonna move you in to left tackle. I hope 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.319 that you're the foundation. I hope you're the foundation. But 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.240 Mike Tom has said he's all I'm on record saying 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.240 Dan Moore is a better left tackle than he has 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:05.240 right tackles. 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.080 Where it gets sticky. Yeah, And then what if these 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.960 guys aren't ready to play at the start of the season. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.400 I know, and that is definitely Harry for those two. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.640 They're way more talented than Dan Moore. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.840 I mean, it doesn't mean they're going to be better 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.280 on day one of the September or whenever the season open. 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.240 But we did see some things with proder Jones two. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.800 I mean, like he learned in the fire. He wasn't 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.560 a day one starter either, but some of these guys 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.880 and Jones is a good example, even when he was wrong, 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.199 he was right because he was so talented. Yeah, you 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.400 know what I mean. Now, it's a leap of faith 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:36.360 on both those guys. 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.440 And oh, by the way, you've got quarter two quarterbacks 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.240 now who takes sacks? 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.880 Oh yeah, yeah, without question. So they could do things 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.000 off the charts. And it's a lot of pressure on 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.280 your own line coach too, you know, like you're turning 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.040 a kindergartener into a high schooler overnight. Yeah, I mean, 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.480 it's like it's a big, strong kindergartener. But that's a 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.720 lot and it's not a knock on O line coaches 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.320 or whatever, but you're asking a lot from them, and 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.640 it's a fun project. Every O line coach would love 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.600 to get mems and guiding and work with them, you know, 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:08.880 of course, but work with them. 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.720 But here's a deadline. Yeah, you're going to have this 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.760 guy ready by you know. I just I don't know. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.280 I just that's that's. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.439 Why I think Dylan Cook could do it for a month. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.319 Or that's what gets Harry about the whole thing. Right, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.120 Dan Moore is kind of in a tough situation. You know, 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.439 if he really isn't very right tackle capable, there's only 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.400 one spun the line. You can help me. I'm not 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.000 saying he's gonna not gonna be here. But if you're 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.480 set on having broder Jones as your left what what's 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.240 more doing? I don't even know what I mean. I 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.400 can't blame Dan Moore, not at all. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.599 Because if again, if we've talked about before his rookie year, yeah, 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.000 the plan was to have him work on both sides 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.600 right and then Zach Banner kept getting hurt and so 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.280 they kept having to play him on the left side 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.120 and left Chucks on the right side because Chukes was 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.480 the incumbent starter on the right side. And next thing 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.760 you know, Dan Moore gets no snaps. He got like 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.600 two days worth of practice snaps on the right side 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.280 last year. If you remember in training camp, he was 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.800 taking basically a snap. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.360 They would do. They would do their first less than 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:22.240 one pas. Yeah, you know, right tackle, That's what it 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.360 was about. Done it. He had done it. So if 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.320 by chance, you went the guy geting or Mims route, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.160 I think thirty seconds after that pick, you call more 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.280 up and be like, you're now a right tackle, start 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.560 working on coming right. You know that stands We like 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.280 your chance. Well, we like the chances of either you 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.800 or first round pick being able to adapt one of 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.080 them has no clue what he's doing, but super talented. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.360 One guy's been around the block but doesn't like the 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:50.600 right side. You got four months to get it right, 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.520 and the better guy wins. It's scary, right, right, leap 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:54.840 of faith? 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.719 Is that a bigger leap of faith than going and 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.720 taking Mason McCormick is saying, Okay, center. 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.000 I wish I knew more about that situation because everyone 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.600 that's in the nose seems to think he's a center 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.679 as a guard even though he hasn't played it. No, 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.559 I think it's less. I think McCormick's safer. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.640 Because everybody who talks about this switch flip flopping of 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.440 size on the line. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:24.320 Is not fun, not fun, very unnatural. It's yeah, exactly. 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.640 I mean I don't think guard to center is as 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.680 unnatural assuming he has some kind of center background right 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.920 where right the left where you've practiced every minute of 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.280 your life as a left which also makes what Roder 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.320 Jones did even more impressive as a rookie. Yeah, I 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.200 mean he was playing left handed, so to speak. 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:44.880 So I looked it up here with h the guys 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:49.680 who are currently on the Steelers roster, Nick Herbig I'm sorry. 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.480 Nate Herbig has taken forty nine naps in game at center. 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.960 Yeah, I don't see him as the answer. I think 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:57.880 he's a guard. 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:02.120 Isaac Sayamalu has played thirty four snaps at center, but bro, 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.320 those came for the Eagles. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.560 Okay, I didn't know it's all them all ever, even 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:06.800 actually or Stelsey. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.120 Yeah yeah, but he was a center in college. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.120 He has done that. Yeah. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:16.080 Yeah, James Daniels, there's also a center in college. He 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.600 played five hundred and eight snaps at center in twenty 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:19.680 nineteen for the Bears. 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.520 For the Bears. Was that his rookie years? It was 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.200 his second year. Okay, so I know the kind of 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:24.680 basically all he did of. 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.680 That's the only time he played center in the NFL. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.400 I'd have to go back at his college snaps, but 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.000 there were a lot. 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.680 And then and then you you know, you mentioned that 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:37.880 Spencer Anderson. He played one game at Maryland. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.680 At center, at center, and he did some snapping here. Yeah, 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.840 I can't remember did he play preseason snaps at center 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:44.840 or not? Did a little bit. 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.680 Yeah, right, they're moving him all over the place. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:48.440 Just can't be played everywhere. 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.040 Yeah, but that was gets you out of the game stuff. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.720 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, again, there's some puzzle pieces that 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:56.120 don't fit. 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:00.320 Yeah, but they have that flexibility for one of those 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:05.600 guys to move just to play center. You're just okay, 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.880 you've done it before, You've got four months to do it. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.560 Let's let's get it ready to go. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.280 Right, And if you're a Daniels or a Ciamalu, you'd 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:14.920 have to kind of agree to it. It's not just 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.120 like we're just shoving you in there. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.320 You're the veteran guy, you're the established did we're giving 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.400 you money. But your best, if you're putting your best 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.680 five on the field, might entail one of those guys 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:24.320 playing center. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.560 I know, and I've said for a while, I think 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.400 Daniel's best position is center, not by leaps and bounds, 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.640 and Moore's best position might be guard. Well, that still 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.920 leaves a huge hole right tackle though, Yeah, I mean 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.560 what you could find in the draft or I hate 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.320 to say, something like sign a Raven Clark like guy 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.120 that's at least been around the block, or that's pretty shallow. 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.320 You run your tackles back the way they were last year. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.640 It's another option. It's another option. I mean honestly. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.080 They they're telling us here by what they did in 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.840 the off season by letting Mason Cole go. And I 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:02.960 understand tackles are harder to find, Yeah, but they didn't 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:07.359 do anything with Dan Moore. No, I was actually Mason 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.320 cole was worse than Dan Moore. As my point, I 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.800 think so last year. So Dan Morlan is one year 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.000 and left on his contract. I think you could get 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.800 more for him than like the dots in Green Move. 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.399 He's a three year starter. But I don't want to 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.480 trade him, you know what I mean. I mean, it 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.400 would have to be a pretty nice return. I would 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:27.720 have to. 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:32.280 Get one of these top five guys in the draft. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.040 And maybe have a veteran on speed dial that's going 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.800 to make four million a year that at least doesn't stink, 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.560 you know what I mean? Yeah, like that, I mean 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.320 better than but in that mold somebody who's just a 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.040 game day swing tackle. But it's somebody gonna give you 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.640 enough for Dan Moore that you dump him because he's 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.600 not like he's a huge contract, say cost you much, right, 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.920 But there's some puzzle pieces there, But I'm curious how 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:56.480 they all end up building the puzzle. 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:02.199 Yeah, it's just it's very compel. Yeah, it is, and 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.760 it's all going to play out by what happens well 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:06.639 next week. 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:11.760 M Yeah, and there are some center options though. I 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.680 mean then you just lay them all out and Connor 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:14.199 Williams and. 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.199 You might still have Connor Williams on speed Doll. He's 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.240 another guy that gives you that kind of flexibility. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:18.880 He's done both. 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.800 Then Daniels is up after this year as well. And 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:27.159 I go back to what Omar Kahn said, the Mason 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.840 Cole is available, he is. You know, Omar con at 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:34.800 the Combine said, position flexibility always has been important to me. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.440
