0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Miami Dolphins podcast Network, covering your team, your

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins. How's it going everybody? I am your host,

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Travis Wingfield. And on today's show, it's the last episode

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>of Combine Reviews. We're gonna do the entire defense top

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>one hundred on this episode. Buckle in. We have a

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>lot to get to. Let's go ahead and start right

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>now from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Training Complex. This is the Drivetime podcast we did the

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>entire offense last week, and by the time you hear

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>this will probably be in Indianapolis working on lots of

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>content for y'all. This week, We've got a couple of

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>big fish come on the podcast that include NFL Networks

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Jeremiah. So keep it locked right here for plenty

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of combine coverage boots on the ground in Indianapolis. But

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>before the workouts begin, before we hear from coach, before

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>we talk with the players and many members of the media,

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>MANI members, let's take a look at the main thing,

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the players. We pivot now to the defense, which I've

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>been pouring over tape over the last couple of weeks

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and trying to catch up, as I seem to be

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>doing every time this year or every year. At this time,

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I should say, it's been flipped the schedule this year.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Defense front of the line for on field workouts, which

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>means defense first. For media availabilities, which means I will

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>only have a chance to talk to defensive players because

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>our trip is Tuesday through Thursday in Indianapolis. But go

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>back to the Wednesday episode for running backs and tight ends.

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>The Friday episode we covered offensive line and wide receivers

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>and quarterbacks, and we'll go ahead and do defense rate now.

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And if you're a fan of the podcast every day listener,

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>you know the drill. We go through the top one

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>hundred prospects on Pro Football Focus and preview, how I

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.119
<v Speaker 1>think they'll perform in Indianapolis, and how that could help

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>their draft stock. Let's go ahead and start. We always

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>go front to back, and maybe that's a little more

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>indicative of how this defense will be built heading forward

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>because in the past it was always built back to front.

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, Miami's pretty well stocked up front,

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>so we're going to go through these positions a little

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>bit quicker than we do the defensive Once we start

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>on the interior defensive line, and there are several guys

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.520
<v Speaker 1>here that, let's be honest, we don't have to go

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>too deep into their game because there's no possibility they'll

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.239
<v Speaker 1>be there when Miami picks at fifty two and they're

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>not trading up for a defensive tackle. So Jalen Carter,

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>if there is no trade for a quarterback, will be

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the first player drafted. Just an absolute monster, going to

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>have a huge combine. Probably it's hop overall player consensus.

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>That's not a quarterback. He's not mine, but he's still

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the top three for me. Brian Breese from Clemson, same deal.

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>He kind of reminds me of Seeler. Absolutely absurd length,

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>power and get off, and he could solidify a top

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>ten selection with a big week, which he is fully,

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>fully capable of. Siaki Eka from Baylor. This is a

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>player in the group that has the best chance to

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>shoot up the boards in my opinion. The way he

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>moves pops off the tape. They had a guy there

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago, Bravey on Roy, who went

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 1>in the fifth round. Similar style, but this guy Eka

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>is three hundred and fifty pounds. He's encroaching on that

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>unicorn territory. Kalijah Canty from Pittsburgh didn't watch a lot

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of pit this year. That's something about pitt games in

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the AC just not my favorite conference. I know he's

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>a Miami product. He comes off the ball hot and

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>stays that way through the end of the snap. I

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>always like a baseline with a great motor because if

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>he compare that with good testing, he could be a

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>fringe first round draft pick. Mazie Smith from Michigan I

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>really like his game. I'm partial to the seeler types

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>talks about that earlier, big rare length and enough quickness

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to also one gap can hold a point in two

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>gap defenses as well. To me, that's Smith. He's two

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ninety pound player who can kick out to

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the five technique so very strong, which at two ninety

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you probably know that he's not got the same get

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>off as some of the guys ahead of him on

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>this board, but he can hone that and show a

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>good ten split time. I think that would really move

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>him up from this forty fifth ranking number sixty five

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Carl Brooks at Bowling Green. It's might sound repetitive, but

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>he's got a chance to shoot up the boards as

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>well because he has such a polished arsenal of moves.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the benefits of going to a school

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>like you know that's not a power school, power five

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>school or whatever. You can get a lot of reps

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>in and you can see that in Carl Brooks's tape

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>heavy handed his hell and that's a great starting point

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>for a player. If he can show some flexibility and

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>pop and his movement testing, he'll be drafted very highly.

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Morow Ojomo from Texas starting to get into that range

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>where I think interior defensive line comes into play from Miami,

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>who has the fifty second pick. This is a very

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 1>deep position for the Dolphins currently though so maybe not.

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Ojomo will blow the doors off the combine.

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>He won frequently again with length, effort and quick reads

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>against the running game. Number seventy two overall on PFF's

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>top one hundred. As a player I like a lot.

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Keanu Benton from Wisconsin dominant week at the Senior Bowl,

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 1>and that's where you saw his game translate to what

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>should be a really good combine for him because he

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 1>plays with exceptional pad level under guys and got significant

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>knockback all week long, and that translates to me to

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>really good times on the ten split, the maybe even

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.239
<v Speaker 1>the forty, but also the broad and vertical jumps. Number

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>seventy three. The very next player on their list is

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Gerson Newton from Illinois. I've only watched Illinois because they

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>have an absolute stud at safety we'll talk about here

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>in a second, but just perusing the Draft Network, they

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>expect him to have a big time workout. He plays

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 1>with speed and quickness at just two hundred and ninety

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>five pounds on the interior. If you're gonna play that

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>light inside, you'd better be able to scoot. Number eighty

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>two KeAndre Coburn from Texas. Always nice when you can

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 1>watch two players on one tape next to each other.

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I probably preferred Coburn's tape to Ojomo's for the projection

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>of his game to the next level. We'll see how

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>he tests an indie. Number eighth. Jacqueline Roy from LSU

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I love this dude's game. I think the combine will

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>greatly improve the draft standing from eighty nine upwards. He's

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>going to blow the doors off indie, twitchy, explosive, get off,

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>lateral agility. I expect his RAS scorecard to be covered

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>in green, which is the upper echelon of every percentile.

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Ninety four. Gervon Dexter from Florida played a lot of

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 1>zero technique at Florida, and he has a very unique

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>build for it. He's not your events will fork like

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>your squatting body. He's kind of high cut, like you

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>would see at a defensive end, but he can really

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>play low with all that power that he generates from

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>that bass, and I think you're gonna see him near

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the top of the board in the vertical jump among

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 1>all interior defensive lineman. We go back to the acc

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>and wake force for Kobe Turner, number ninety eight. I

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.239
<v Speaker 1>didn't watch a lot of wake this year. I certainly

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.039
<v Speaker 1>haven't watched any tape, but I did see some clips

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>of him working around blocks in the running game. And

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>he has a super super quick first step, so the

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>shuttle ten split three cone. Keep an eye on that

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>for him. And if you're bored right now, because these

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>names are not doing it for you, I'm just gonna

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>go by each position here. I promise it gets a

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>little bit more intriguing as we go along, because I

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>think as you get deeper into the Dolphins defense, that's

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>where you start seeing some needs and some potential to

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>add some pieces there. But tons of names here, and

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I think this is one of the more interesting position

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>groups to look at this offseason for Miami because I

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>think you can argue that the defensive line is the

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>best position group on the Dolphins roster. Seeler only has

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>one more year left on his deal, though, and he's

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>going to get a pay raise. He's played really well,

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>especially in comparison to that contract. Wilkins currently on that

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>fifth year option, though Chris Greer did mention their desire

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to get a long term deal done. Ray Kwon's rookie

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>deal coming up, and I think you got to get

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>just better overall nose tackle play than you had in

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two because John Jenkins is also a free agent.

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>So there's a possibility that I think for a big

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>nose tackle edition. We've traditionally seen big, dominant nose tackles

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 1>make this defense go. So if you can feel really

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>good about those three guys up front and create even

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 1>more one on one situations outside, that would be a

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 1>big boon. So I'm not sure these guys check that box.

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it might be more of a free agent.

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I think a Keem Hicks makes a ton of sense

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 1>if he wants to keep playing. He loves Vic Fangio two,

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>so I'm curious see what happens there. But it's always

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>nice to be in a position where you can draft

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>players to develop them for the future so that when

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>contracts expire, you have that word. We talk about a

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>lot on this podcast, and Chris were talks about a

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 1>lot with the work Brandon Shore does flexibility right about

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 1>how you can change gears or go in the same direction. Like, yeah,

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>we have this Plan A to bring back player A,

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>B and C, but maybe player B got a better

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>contract somewhere else or wants to go get more playing

0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.839
<v Speaker 1>time somewhere else. All right, we can pivot and move

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to be and now we have a new Plan C

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>in place of that. If that wasn't too confusing here

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast. But with that said, it wouldn't surprise

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>me to see Miami pass entirely on this position or

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.959
<v Speaker 1>draft a player relatively high. But that's the type of

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>flexibility you want to have throughout your entire roster. Speaking

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>of positions that are set up well for the immediate

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and long term future, the edges, defensive ends, and outside linebackers.

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and go through this group quickly after

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>these words. That's next Draft Time podcast, your host Travis Wingfield,

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>brought to you by AutoNation. Picking things back up here

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>in segment number two. Staying up front at the edge

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 1>position number four on the PFF big board is Will

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Anderson from Alabama. He's gonna ace the test. He's probably

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the best player in the draft. He's my personal number one,

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>which means he's way out of our range. Number six overalls.

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Miles Murphy from Clemson another top five pick, and frankly,

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you don't have this high rank at the position if

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you're not built in a lab. He will test extremely well,

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>then you get some drop off, and this is kind

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>of an interesting place every year to me, in the

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>draft of those teens and those twenties into the end

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of the first round. Lucas van Ness from Iowa. Watching

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 1>a player like him, you can usually assume he was

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a two sport athlete growing up because there's typically this

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>effortless ability to move and bend among these guys, so

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>it's no surprise that he was a hockey player. And

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.839
<v Speaker 1>I think that's where his great ankle flection comes from.

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>He's really flexible and can really kind of use power

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.199
<v Speaker 1>and bend together because of that lower half, and it's

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 1>where his strength and ability to plant the tree trunk

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>against the run really show up. If he tests well

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>with his power the flashes on tape that he has

0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>at six foot five, two seventy, he probably sneaks into

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.319
<v Speaker 1>the top ten. Number twenty two overall. Nolan Smith from

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Georgia to me, this is too low for him. He's

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>going to have a monster combine if he competes. He

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>was injured late last year, and I don't know if

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>he will or not, but he's a freaky, freaky athlete.

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Number thirty two overall LA two Lato from UCLA. His

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>ability to condense inside and beat guards with quick on

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>rushdowns is very, very intriguing to me. He gave both

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Washington schools all they could handle. That translates to a

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>good three cone, which plays well in a system that

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>has lots of rush games. That's what we used to do.

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not I don't know if we'll do as much

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>of it this year, but intriguing player and an all

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>day first rounder to me. Number thirty four b j

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Ogilargijilari from LSU. I think he too was a first rounder.

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.719
<v Speaker 1>This group has tons of juice. Man Ojilari has tremendous

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 1>bend and balance around the edge. I think you'll see

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.960
<v Speaker 1>that edge leaderboard just littered with his name near the

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>top of every testing category. Those LSU guys. I talk

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 1>about this all the time. LSU Clemson, Alabama, Georgia. Those

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>guys are gonna test well because they recruit five stars

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>after five stars after five stars. Number thirty five Andrew

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Carter the second. Speaking of five stars, he wasn't that

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and he went to Army, but my goodness, he is

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a flash. Someone's gonna draft this guy on day two

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and wash him develop into a refined rusher and from

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 1>there the sky is the limit. The Conbine was built

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>for a guy like him to absolutely shop, speed, jumps, short,

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>area burst. He's gonna do very well in all of those.

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Number thirty seven Will McDonald from from Iowa State arguably

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>my biggest mover from Senior Bowl week. Had great tape

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 1>all week long. Again repetitive, but I think that his

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>times could, you know, beat even the previous two guys

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>because he plays at a smaller size. He's long, lean,

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and explosive as hell. Kind of has a Jalen Phillips

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 1>build to him. Not quite as heavy, but that long,

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>lead and explosive build like Phillips has. Number fifty is

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Mike Morris from Michigan. Another one of these power edges

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.240
<v Speaker 1>at Michigan. More of a play through guys who can

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 1>condense inside type of player. I don't think he'll blow

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>you away in shorts, but his power pops off the

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>screen on game tape. Again. We'll talk about this here

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in a second, but I just don't know if this

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>is a position where the Dolphins have to attack very heavily.

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Keyon White Number fifty six Georgia Tech. Unfamiliar with his game,

0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>but the Draft Network describes him as a first off

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the bus type of athlete, freakish athletic ability. Again, this

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>edge group is going to test very very well. Number

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty eight Felix and d and a Duke Usama from

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Kansas State. The names get tough for every single year.

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Another player I have not watched yet, but I did

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>read it his first step as his best traits, so

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on his ten split. Number sixty one

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Isaiah McGuire from Missouri combines physical traits with a really

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.559
<v Speaker 1>fun demeanor. He's just kind of a badass. He's flexible

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.839
<v Speaker 1>around the outside and has a quick move to cross

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>face inside. I think he'll time well on the speed

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>metrics from USC. Number sixty three Tuley Tupelotto, again the

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Polynesian names man. They are tough at six foot four

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.719
<v Speaker 1>to eighty His game is more power in playing the

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>run on the way to the quarterback so don't expect

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>crazy times here, but his tape is really good. Number

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>sixty four is Zach Harrison from Ohio State talked about

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>it earlier. Earlier, you can presume with these schools you're

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a great athlete, and that's the case here.

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Five star recruit, lots of traits, size, Lenk, explosiveness. He

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 1>stands a chance to shoot way up the boards this

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>week in Indianapolis. Another one of those schools, Auburn Derek Hall,

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>number sixty nine. His length is the first thing that's

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>hands out, so they'll like him on the tape measure.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>He utilizes that length through strong upper body movement and

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>heavy hands. Just didn't have a lot of pass rush

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>reps to show the repertoire, so he's gonna have to

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.079
<v Speaker 1>work out well to kind of help boost his stock.

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Number seventy five, Okay, I have this one written down.

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Audi Yap Tom Yuwa Otto Barya not even close Northwestern.

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>He's kind of an unconventional player. The tape isn't great.

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Unconventional build, but man, he has some really good physical

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>traits in terms of how he moves. I'm curious see

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>how he tested the three cone because he is a

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>jitterbug up on that defensive line. Number eighty five Isaiah

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Fosky from Notre Dame kind of the opposite of that

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>really great tape has tons of testimonials from his coaches

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>and teammates about his character and leadership that he possesses.

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 1>So if he times well, because the athletic traits aren't

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>really what it is for some other guys, if he

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>has a really good combine after a good Senior Bowl,

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>he can keep going up that draft board. And then

0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>number ninety three Byron Young from Tennessee. I think there's

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>tons of upside there and we could see the first

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>steps of unlocking that with a good workout in Indy.

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 1>He's a former JUCO transfer who just got better every

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>single year. You can see the physical skills and with

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>more seasoning can play even faster. Another deep group here,

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>but again with Phillips chub Is Ogba back this year,

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>not to mention a wait and see what happens with

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Melvin Ingram and Andrew van Ginkel. It's probably Miami's deepest

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>position at the time being. You can never have too

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>many rushers, though, and if you don't resign either Melvin

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>or Gink maybe you do look at this group on

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 1>day two, and that's why mock drafts prior to free

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 1>agency and probably after two are mostly useless. But I

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>tend to kind of pass on both of those groups.

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 1>With the first three picks the Dolphins have in the

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>first three rounds. Now, these next three position groups different story.

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Linebacker Number twenty nine Trenton Simpson from Clemson. Simpson can

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>probably step into an NFL defense from day one as

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 1>a sub package type of player and be super impactful.

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>He's very versatile. He's an explosive striker who puts himself

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in those positions with both prep but also athletic traits.

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna jump out of the gym when they work

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 1>out this week. Number forty one Drew Sanders from Arkansas.

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>The best part about Sanders game is that he's kind

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of new to the off ball linebacker position, a former

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 1>edge and you see that in his athletic profile bend,

0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>quick twitch from the new position. But man, he was

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>so good in processing in block deconstruction, which for a

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>guy that hasn't played that role to excel that quickly.

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 1>It speaks to the way he goes about his business. High,

0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>high ceiling, player who I think is going to test

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>very well, and I'm curious about him. If he can

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>get down to fifty two, might be an option there.

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Number fifty one. Jack Campbell also probably an option there

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.560
<v Speaker 1>from Iowa. He kind of reminds me of Jack Sandborn,

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, a try hard who's just damn good

0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 1>at football. I think you saw the athleticism tests a

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit when Iowa played some of the powerhouses in

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 1>their conference, you know, the Penn States, the Ohio States.

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>So the combine isn't an event that will suit his skills,

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>but he can play Number sixty seven die On Henley

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Washington State. Gokug baby. This is my preference at this

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>stage of the draft. I fully expect him to destroy

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the workouts. He's twitchy, he plays angry, has exceptional range,

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 1>going in all three directions downhill, backwards or sideline. The sideline.

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I'd put him as one of the favorites to top

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the forty ten split shuttle and three cone times. He's

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>an ex safety who's a little on the lighter side,

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 1>so he needs to have good times. But he is

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 1>such a good player. I've watched him as much as

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 1>anybody else in this class. Because I watch all their games.

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Man he is he is a hell of a football player.

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Number seventy nine demarvi an Over shown from Texas, another

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>safety convert, fifth year senior. He's gonna have to test

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.400
<v Speaker 1>well because he's a two hundred and twenty five pound linebacker,

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>but that shouldn't be the problem. But he also hits

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:45.919
<v Speaker 1>like a safety two, so he's got a fun tape.

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 1>But he's a bit of a tweener. Number ninety two

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a drop off here to Noah Sewel

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 1>from Oregon. I love his game, man. He might be

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 1>more of a B gap to B gap plotter than

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you want, but damn he is good at it. Great size,

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the ability to play stacked backer from the jump, Like

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>right away, you can draft him and probably have him play,

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, thirty five percent of your snaps in those

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>based downs. He's played all over that organ defense. Is

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>a true captain of it. And that's why I think

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 1>he'll blow teams away on the board in terms of

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the meeting stuff. As far as the on field testing,

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure that's where his best traits are shown.

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 1>And the number ninety seven Nick Herbig from Wisconsin, the

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.919
<v Speaker 1>brother of Nate Herbig, the offensive limon for the Jets.

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I wonder where his best position is going to be

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, But man, he was productive, a little

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 1>bit undersized at two thirty, but he's got more pass

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.200
<v Speaker 1>rush pelts at most or than most at this position

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:40.720
<v Speaker 1>group eighteen sacks in two years. You could see him

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.400
<v Speaker 1>being inserted in some sub package like pressure packages early on.

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 1>How he times and the three cone, the shuttle and

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.160
<v Speaker 1>ten split will all be worth watching. And then really

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>quick a quick shout out to Henry to to to

0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the Alabama linebacker. He belongs in the top one hundred

0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 1>for my money, could be a Day three suboption or

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.760
<v Speaker 1>sub package option straight away with room for growth into

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 1>an every down player. I think he'll test well as well.

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Another group of Miami has plenty of their own free agents,

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's tough to project needs ahead of seeing what

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 1>happens in free agency with Roberts, samuelgl Vaughan, and Duke

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Riley all free agents. Anytime you change the system, there

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 1>can be changes. There are some really really good players

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>in this group and this is a position that tends

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:21.919
<v Speaker 1>to slide a little bit, so we'll see what happens

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>with those guys, the free agents, and then also the

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 1>development of Channing Tindall. That's a big, big part of

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.159
<v Speaker 1>this equation as well. Do you like him for year

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>two or do you have to get better? But I

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 1>like this crop and as always I subscribe to the

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.640
<v Speaker 1>draft good players routine and the rest will take care

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>of itself. Let's go ahead and take our second break

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>right here and come back and do the DBS. That's

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 1>next Drivetime Podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 1>by Auto Nation, Final Combine preview segment of the Drift

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Time Podcast. Be talking draft all week though, with you

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:01.399
<v Speaker 1>guys and past Dolphins drafts, current Dolphins previewing the offseason.

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Trust me, this week of podcast is gonna be one

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.159
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna want to dive into. Let's go ahead and

0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>dive into the cornerback position here, an area that could

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>be a need for the Miami Dolphins. Again, it depends

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 1>on what happens coming up in the next month or

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 1>so and what happens to Byron Jones's tenure here in Miami.

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm curiously what happens with that number twelve. Is Devin

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Witherspoon from Illinois as good as it gets. He's a

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.440
<v Speaker 1>tone setting tackler off the edge with island coverage skills.

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I think he goes top ten, especially after he destroys

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Indie this week. Number fourteen. Christian Gonzalez from Oregon talked

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.919
<v Speaker 1>about him a lot on the Friday College three Packs.

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I would do just You're hard pressed to find a

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>smarter cornerback in the draft than him. He's got an

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 1>excellent trigger, working on a zone and coming up and

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>playing in the short areas, which you have to do.

0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I think in this defense you see him one on one,

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:52.400
<v Speaker 1>he takes chances because he has the recoverability that stems

0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 1>from really impressive athletic ability. He's gonna fly and he

0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 1>goes six foot two, two hundred pounds at the top

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 1>fifteen pick all day Long twenty five on the PFF

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Big Boards, Camp Smith from South Carolina. All three of

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.439
<v Speaker 1>these top guys are just football players, but unlike the

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 1>first two, Smith isn't quite the athlete. Although he's a

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 1>lock to go in round one, He's not going to

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 1>have gaudy workout numbers, but man, his tape is really

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>good out of the Dolphins range for sure. So is

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Joey Porter. Junior number twenty six overall from Penn State.

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:23.879
<v Speaker 1>He might be my top corner. He's right there with

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Witherspoon for me. I'm just curious see what his wingspan is,

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 1>because when you watch him in press, like his knuckles

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.160
<v Speaker 1>are dragging on the ground. He has the longest arms

0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen at the position, and it really allows

0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 1>him to disrupt routes. I think most years he's CB one,

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:40.880
<v Speaker 1>but this class is just so good. Number forty six

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Keiley Ringo from Georgia. This might be the player who

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 1>stands to gain the most ground of any player, not

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 1>just at cornerback, but the entire draft and athletic marvel

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.120
<v Speaker 1>six ft two, two hundred and fifteen pound player who

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>can roll baby. He has a penchant for playmaking, but

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 1>there's some boomer bust at his game. Among the top

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:03.199
<v Speaker 1>ten corners on PFF's top big Board, he allowed the

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 1>most deep receptions by a significant margin. He's very reactive,

0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 1>so he'll take chances. But I think more seasoning, more

0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.399
<v Speaker 1>coaching and learning some technique could wind up being the

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.680
<v Speaker 1>best corner in the entire class. He has that kind

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>of upside. Do not be surprised if you see him

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:20.919
<v Speaker 1>check in the four three's Number forty eight Emmanuel Forbes

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.200
<v Speaker 1>from Mississippi State. Nobody attacks the football better than Forbes

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>in this entire class. He's picked off fourteen balls and

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.200
<v Speaker 1>broke up seventeen more during his three years in college.

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Got better every year. Exceptional eyes and recognition. Take none

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 1>of those traits. Those are very important traits in this defense.

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Twitchy as hell kind of has some Bobby McCain to

0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>him when Bobby was at Memphis. Just twitchy ballhawk, played

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:44.800
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of fire. Could be a Day one

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 1>slot guy if he asked me. And three cone is

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>usually a big time for that position. So watch that

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.920
<v Speaker 1>for Emmanuel Forbes. Number sixty two. Garrett Williams from Syracuse.

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:56.160
<v Speaker 1>The prototypical press man corner. I don't think we'll see

0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.159
<v Speaker 1>him work out because he had an ACL injury late

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 1>in the year, and also those physical press corners, it's

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>not really what we do anymore. I think we'll go

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 1>more for speed, twitchiness, and playmaking a building in the

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 1>back end. Number seventy. Deonte Banks from MARYLM. If you

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:12.800
<v Speaker 1>need a press zone corner, which Miami could use those

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.120
<v Speaker 1>this is your guy. Mirror match skills for days. Another

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:20.400
<v Speaker 1>great instinctual player technically sound so again on this theme,

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.880
<v Speaker 1>if he times, he could drastically improve his stock with

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a career full of great tape. Six foot two, two

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:29.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred and five pounds, he's smooth as hell, so fluid.

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:32.879
<v Speaker 1>I think you'll see a great three cone time from him.

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of great three cone times, Trevius Hodges Tomlinson from

0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:40.320
<v Speaker 1>TCU is being stamped with a my guy stamp. This

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 1>is an interesting name, you know. Under Gary Patterson at TCU,

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 1>they had long been known for their defense and that

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.880
<v Speaker 1>defense that's built around their zone match principles. And nobody

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 1>exhibited that better than and the playmaking skills than Trevius

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Hodges Thomlinson. Plus, he's uber fluid, oily hips as they

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 1>would say. I think he needs the skills to clock

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:02.120
<v Speaker 1>good three cone time, to play in the slot, short

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.800
<v Speaker 1>shuttle and and ten split, to be able to handle

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>all these great wide receivers, especially the two we've got here,

0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think that THHT does all that. I think

0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:12.919
<v Speaker 1>seventy six is way too low for him. One of

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.639
<v Speaker 1>my guys number eighty six, Tyreek Stevenson from Miami. What

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:18.719
<v Speaker 1>a great week he had at the Senior Bowl. I

0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>think that's about all about how you compete, and he

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:23.919
<v Speaker 1>showed that he could run with anybody down there. A

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 1>big week for him testing wise, because you paired that

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 1>tape with that temperament with good athletic testing. He's another

0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:32.439
<v Speaker 1>guy that I think could rise up the board. This

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.679
<v Speaker 1>corner class is awesome if he posts good times. That

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:37.920
<v Speaker 1>eighty six is gonna rock it way up there, six foot,

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifteen pounds when he plays like it.

0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:42.399
<v Speaker 1>But his recovery spitt the Senior Bowl in one on

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 1>ones makes me think you might see him in the

0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:47.360
<v Speaker 1>four fours. So again, this is a position that got

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:50.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of off the rails for Miami in twenty twenty two.

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Just too many injuries. Never had our counterpart for X

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 1>all year. You lost a need him who would become

0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>a super dependable slot guy, and the guy who I

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:00.240
<v Speaker 1>would argue you had the most up I had to

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>potentially fill in for Byron out Wide was also lost

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.679
<v Speaker 1>in training camp and Troll Williams. But we also got

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the emergence of Katerkohu in the slot. What a great

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 1>year he had. I project him to be a long

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>time starter for us here. The free agent market doesn't

0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 1>have as many names as other positions, but I think

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:16.919
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the deepest corner drafts we've had

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.880
<v Speaker 1>in a while. This list doesn't even include Julius Branch

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 1>from k State, who I think is a hell of

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a player. Could be a good group from Miami to

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>choose from in the second and third round. A few

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 1>have really caught my eye in this group. Let's go

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.879
<v Speaker 1>ahead and finish up with the safeties. Number ten is

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Brian Branch from Alabama long gone. You will not find

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a better striker in this class, far and away safety one,

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know what else. He played a lot in

0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.159
<v Speaker 1>the slot, kind of like Minka Fitzpatrick at BAM with

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that star rule. Branch plays the run from that position.

0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Like Tarn Johnson and Buffalo. He comes from distance from

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 1>depth with a lot of explosiveness, and the finishes. The

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.920
<v Speaker 1>way or the way that he finishes his hits is

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>what you want a football player. He's my pick to

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>lead the way among that group and the Vert and

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Broad Vert and Broad Travis get through it. Number thirty

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Johnson from Texas A and M. Speaking of coming

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 1>from depth, Johnson plays downhill like that. What is the

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:10.120
<v Speaker 1>tradition they do over in the UK or they chase

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 1>blocks of cheese down the mountain and all fall and

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:15.080
<v Speaker 1>hurt themselves. He can scoot man like branch. He comes

0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 1>down and covers the slot. He's six foot three. If

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>he can time will on the shuttle and three cone,

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>he's a first round pick all day. I really like

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Number forty Jammie Robinson from Florida State, another one of

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>my guys. Smooth as hell. He's gonna test super well.

0:26:28.440 --> 0:26:30.920
<v Speaker 1>That all rhymes sound tackler, which is a theme this

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 1>year from this group, and you see his shiftiness both

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 1>on tackling in space but also in coverage. He can

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 1>do it all. Really really a fun player. Plus he's

0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 1>played almost three hundred snaps or three hundred three thousand

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>snaps in his career, so what you see is kind

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of what you get. That's a very productive player. Number

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>forty two is Eli Ricks from Alabama. He plays some

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 1>corner there, but you can see these dbs really transition

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:55.359
<v Speaker 1>to bull spots, especially with the length that he plays

0:26:55.359 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>with and the physicality. He played a lot of press corner,

0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:01.040
<v Speaker 1>but his long speed was not great. But he's listed

0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 1>here because law of folks think he will change positions

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>because if he doesn't run you know, four five or better,

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>he's probably not gonna play corner. So big forty for

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Eli Rix, depending on where he plays. Number fifty three

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.919
<v Speaker 1>is J. L. Skinner from Boise State. Finally, a different

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:17.440
<v Speaker 1>type of player. Think Kaiser White, that dimebacker type two

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:20.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty pounds rocked up, but he moves really well.

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Looks like a tight end eracer slash run supporter at

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the next stage for me, maybe what Eric Rowe kind

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.920
<v Speaker 1>of became late in his career. He always performed well

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>against bigger bodied tight ends and slots, and if he

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>runs like I think he can, he's easily a high

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 1>round two pick. I talked earlier about Illinois numbers sixties.

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Sydney Brown, the safety from Illinois. He's awesome. Coverage skills

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 1>at safety are such a boon, and this dude has him.

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 1>The Internet tells me he got out to twenty two

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 1>miles per hour on GPS readings at practice in Illinois,

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:49.399
<v Speaker 1>and the tape can kind of confirm that because he

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:51.720
<v Speaker 1>can fly. There were not very many safeties at the

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Senior Bowl who lined up and press coverage and stayed

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 1>in phase with receivers on takeoff routes. But he did that.

0:27:57.320 --> 0:27:59.879
<v Speaker 1>He'll have a big workout Indianapolis, if you ask me.

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Number eighty one's Jordan Battle from Alabama started as a

0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>true freshman, which if you can do that Alabama, you're

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good player and trusted and just never relinquish

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>the job. He's not the smooth mover some of these

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 1>other guys are, but he arrives with brute force, and

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I think you can blitz him. You can factor him

0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:17.360
<v Speaker 1>into your runfit, and you can play him the hook

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 1>zones and the curl flat zones and coverage. Plus you

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:22.639
<v Speaker 1>draft this guy, you've got a Day one special team's

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 1>ace which should not be overlooked. Combine not going to

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.399
<v Speaker 1>be where his skills shine the brightest. That's his tape.

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Number eighty three's Gay Year Brown from Penn State, big

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:33.919
<v Speaker 1>time playmaker, built like a house, loves to hit. I

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:36.720
<v Speaker 1>think he's faster than he is quick in short spaces,

0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 1>so I would expect a really good forty time. But

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>watching those three Conor shuttle times to see how much

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 1>he has in the cod bag, as it were. And

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Number ninety nine's Jalen Jones from Texas A and M

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 1>another potential position convert. He's a long, tall, physical press

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:52.239
<v Speaker 1>corner there at A and M. He's kind of like

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Jayyear Brown in the sense I think he'll fly in

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the forty, but I'm more curious to see how he

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 1>works in the three cone and shuttle the stuff that

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 1>tests your fluidity, which put him back at the safety position.

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to feel good about Miami's top

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:07.280
<v Speaker 1>two players here with Holland and Brandon Jones. Eric Rose

0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a free agent. There's some intriguing free agents have to

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 1>hit the market, like a Von Bell, like a Jesse Bates,

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 1>like a Jordan Poyer, plenty of options in that category.

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 1>You have to be smart and instinctive to play this

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:21.320
<v Speaker 1>position under coach Fangio, he disguises so well and that's

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 1>why I love what Javan and Brandon offer in this defense.

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:28.239
<v Speaker 1>But it's also traditionally rolled with pretty frequent workloads from

0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the third safety, both in big nickel and subpackage on

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:33.720
<v Speaker 1>passing down. So if Eric Row is not resigned, you

0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of have a need there. Fene. That's it. That's

0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the combined preview. The next time you guys, hear from me,

0:29:39.120 --> 0:29:41.680
