We have got a 10 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: jam pack show today. Yeah, absolutely, jam Pack. We're going 11 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: to discuss some interesting things. So perfect parents. We're trying 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: to match up the perfect parents for some of these teams. 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: And then I had a little sit down. No, you 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: gotta sit down with a general manager. We're gonna roll 15 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: your your talk there with Rick Smith from the Texans. 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: Interesting conversation you guys had at the comment talking about 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback because which is relevant now after they made 18 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: the trade of Brock Osweller. Also have our scouting competition. 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna reveal the winners of that a little bit 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: later on in the show. But before we get to 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: those things, Bucky some some interesting stories have come down. 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: I think obviously gonna have a big effect on the draft. Uh. 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: Number one I know as a cornerback that you really like, 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: Cindy Jones from the University of Washington going down with 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: an achilles injury doing his pro day. It's a very 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: significant injury because he was one of the top corners 27 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: in the draft and some people had him viewed as 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: the number one corner in terms of his ability to 29 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: play and do a lot of different things. The interesting 30 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: thing that will come out about out this injury coming 31 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: out of pro day how many guys will continue to 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: work at pro days after they work at the combine. 33 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: You and I have talked off air about maybe guys 34 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: are shutting down and not necessarily due to private workouts. 35 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: But this is a significant injury. Yes, for him specifically, 36 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: it probably drops him down into Day three consideration because 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: he hasn't a killed It's a deep intalented draft class. 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: You have a bunch of one as they can come 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: right in and play and he's unavailable. But the longer, 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: long ranging ramifications from this could change the way that 41 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: scouts and agents and everybody else kind of used the process. Yeah, 42 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: I had him going at fourteen to the Philadelphi Eagles. Previously, 43 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: before he got hurt, he was in my top fifteen 44 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: as a player. I think we're gonna see ten corners 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: go on the first fifty picks at a minimum, that's 46 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: how loaded this classes. So I think that's gonna slide 47 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: him down. I think the third round is probably the 48 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: earliest we would see him go off the board. You 49 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: hate it because he's such a great player and had 50 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: aced every test. The tape was great. You look at 51 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: what he did at the combine, had a solid work 52 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: out there. Uh it was all hey was in the barn. 53 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: So hate it for the kid, but hopefully he recast 54 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: some time to recover, goes to a good situation and 55 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: we'll see the same player he wasn't watching at the 56 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: next level. Well hopefully, So we saw this similar Uh, 57 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: Aeron Coleman from Oklahoma and goes to the Jackson and 58 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: Jaguar was as a later pig mid round pick, and 59 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: he has success. He's now did nickelback Cindey generals. A 60 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: team that likes him will continue to take him, but 61 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: they're just kind of try and put the right valuation 62 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: where to select him. I think it's unfortunate. You do 63 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: have to do all of the work, you have to 64 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: kind of be seen. Teams wants to see you go 65 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: through their stuff. It's just one of those things along 66 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: the way that you just hate to see. With the 67 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: injury facts, all right, Another thing that happened. I thought 68 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: it was interesting Rubert Foster. A lot was made about 69 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: the fact he was sent home from the Combine. There 70 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: was an issue there at the at the medical center. Uh, 71 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: kind of two different stories that emerged from it. But 72 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: going to the Alabama Pro Day, I wasn't there, but 73 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: talked to a bunch of scouts that were there. They 74 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: got the Foster side of the story from all the 75 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: Alabama people. Talk to Foster himself, and really they kind 76 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: of felt like much ado about nothing, not a big deal, 77 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: not gonna affect his draft stock in anyway. He's still 78 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: clearly the top inside linebacker in this draft class, and 79 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: I'll be surprised if he's not a top fifteen pick. 80 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: Buck Well, I mean, I think he's the top dude. 81 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: I think obviously you have to check out what happened, 82 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: because whenever something like that happens at the Combine and 83 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: someone is sent home, you just have some questions about 84 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: their emotional control. How are they going to be away 85 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: from the facility when they get a bunch of money 86 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: and have a bunch of free time. I think that 87 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: when we bring it back to the field, his personality 88 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: is says that he is a dog on the field. 89 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: He plays on the edge. He told the line. He 90 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: brings a lot of physicality and toughness. He is a 91 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: dominant strike you player between the hashes. You love what 92 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: he brings on the field. You just want to make 93 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: sure that he can manage everything off the field when 94 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: you're trying to invest kind of money that you're gonna 95 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: invest in him as a top pic. He definitely has 96 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: an edge on the field, apparently a little bit of 97 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: an edge off the field. All right, next thing we've 98 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: got here is we got the big trade which really 99 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: came out of left field. Talked about all you know, 100 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: Tony Romo could be traded. What's gonna happen with him? 101 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: You know where Jake Cutler're gonna sign? How about brock 102 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: Osweiler and a second round pick and that sixteen million 103 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: dollar price tag go to the Cleveland Browns in the trade? 104 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: That one, that one definitely caught my attention. You know, 105 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: it's funny when you were talking about the trade, into 106 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: my mind, I thought Cleveland Cavaliers. Because this is an 107 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: NBA trade. This is something that you typically see in 108 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: the NBA where people will absorb a contract someone in 109 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: the last year to deal so they can free up 110 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: some money to do some other things. For the Cleveland Browns, 111 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: they acquire another pick, which gives him eight picks in 112 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: the first second round over the next two years. That's 113 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: a lot of cow put a lot of ammunition to 114 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: make some moves up and down the board the next 115 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: few years. And if you're looking ahead based on what 116 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: they're talking about, eating the sixteen million dollars, it gives 117 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: them another pick to maybe be in play for Jimmy 118 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 1: Garoppolo swap. I like this move from to Cleveland Browns 119 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: because you now have so much capital that you have 120 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: the ability to really control your destiny when it comes 121 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: to selecting the right players to get you back on track. 122 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: All right. Interesting thing though, Oswaror, they committed a lot 123 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: of money to him in Houston, brought him in there, 124 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: thought he would be the long term answer. That did 125 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: not work out for them. They have since just tried 126 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: to wipe it off the books, erase it. It It never happened. 127 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: Move on. It cost him a second round pick. But 128 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: they're moving on down the line to to somebody else 129 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. We'll see if that's Tom Savage 130 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: or if that's Tony Romo, who who it's gonna be. 131 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: But I know you had a chance at the combine 132 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: to sit down with the Houston Texans general manager Rick 133 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: Smith and kind of talk about what he's looking for 134 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: in a quarterback. So when you talk about those prototypes 135 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: and the things the characteristics that you look for by position, 136 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: obviously in this league, the quarter position is key, and 137 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: trying to find a franchise quarterback, what are the traits 138 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: that you look for in that position? Well, if you 139 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: could tell me that you could find that you have 140 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: my job number one at that position, you know you 141 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: need leadership obviously. Leadership is is probably the most important 142 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: prerequisite for that role in our league. And and then 143 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: there are some physical things that I think a little 144 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: bit more important in other some people, like you know, 145 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: a specific height or a way. I think accuracy is important. Um, 146 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that arm strength is as 147 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: important as people think it is. Growing up in Denver. 148 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: You know, I spent a lot of time with Jack 149 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: Elway when I made the transition from uh, you know, 150 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: being a coach in Denver to the personnel department. And 151 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: one of the most important things that I learned from 152 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: Jack Elway and in terms of evaluating quarterbacks, is this 153 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,679 Speaker 1: idea that how quickly when when when the quarterback's brain 154 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: tells him to throw, how quickly does the ball get 155 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: out of his hand and then how accurately does it 156 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: get there? That might be the most important thing when 157 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: you're evaluating the quarterback. But look, you know, we've got 158 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: thirty one other g him's out here who will tell 159 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: you another thing. But but but because there's just so 160 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: many different things and nuances that you look for, because 161 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: that position is so important and you've got to have consistent, 162 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: productive play in order to win a championship. I say 163 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna win. We're gonna win. When you look at 164 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: our entire football team, I think we thought last year 165 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: that we you know, we built this team right. And 166 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: so you know, this is my my I think eleventh 167 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: draft that I'll run ten nine of the ten first 168 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: round picks that we've taken since we've been there are 169 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: still on our football team. So we built this team 170 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: and so we felt like we felt pretty good on 171 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: defense and that we needed to address the offense. And 172 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: so we had a new quarterback, we had a new 173 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: running back, we had a new guard, we had a 174 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: new number two wide receiver, we had a new slot receiver. 175 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: It takes time for that to jail, all those new 176 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: pieces to jail. A big part of our offense is 177 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: continuity and that guy see the same thing, so wide 178 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: receiver sees the same thing that the quarterback sees. Those 179 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: kind of things take time. That type of coordination takes time. 180 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: We felt like we could be good on defense. We 181 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: work good on defense, and our offense just has to 182 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: catch up with that. Our entire offense has to improve. 183 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we all recognize. I think 184 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: our entire group um understands that, and I think they're 185 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: committed to getting better. That's great stuff there, Buck, And 186 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 1: to me, it's fascinating when you look at the quarterback 187 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: situation and what you're looking to evaluate in the position. 188 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: To me, I think what gets lost is being able 189 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: to create a structure and put that in place, no 190 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: no matter who you bring at the quarterback position, they 191 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: can be successful. Yeah, you have to build it around 192 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: the quarterback. You have to look at what they can 193 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: do and what they're very, very comfortable with doing and 194 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: make sure you kind of build it with those things 195 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: in mind. You want to challenge them and hope that 196 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: they can learn more of what your ideal system is. 197 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: But for them to have success, you have to make 198 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: sure you put them in their comfort zone and hopefully 199 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: that's good enough to win enough games where you can 200 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: continue to build upon what they've being able to show 201 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of the chicken or egg, Right, you 202 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: gotta you want to try and get the quarterback and 203 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: build around the where you wanna try and set everything 204 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: up and then drop the quarterback in two different theories 205 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: on how you do it. Now, one other quarterback that's 206 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: out there that we're just waiting on to see what 207 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: happens is Tony Romo. Is he gonna be a Texan? 208 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: Is he gonna be a Denver Bronco? Or is he 209 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: gonna pick up one of these microphones and and be 210 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: with the network? I guess those are the three options 211 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: we're looking at right now. Although the Cowboys, uh, they've 212 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: yet to release him. Let's assume they do what makes 213 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: the most sense for Romo. You know it's tough. Obviously, 214 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans make a lot of sense for them 215 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: because they have a defense that's prime and readio championship 216 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: caliber defense. They play in a division that is very, 217 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: very winnable by any standards. There's not a dominant team 218 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: within the division, and they're trying to do some things 219 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: where they fortify the offensive line, surrounding with enough weapons 220 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: on the outside, and have a running game where he 221 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily have to do everything. I believe that is 222 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: the best situation, even though there's some other teams that 223 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: will find him intriguing, just because of his veteran presence 224 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: and the experience and savvy that he's displayed throughout his career. 225 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: And I think though you look at Denver needed to 226 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: upgrade the offensive line. They're working on that in free agency. 227 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: I think you'll see them continue to address that maybe 228 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: later in free agency as well as the draft. And 229 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: if you put a Tony Romo in there with the 230 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: skill position players they have on the outside, again, a 231 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: really really good defense there. I know the division is tougher, 232 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: but I think that could make the Denver Broncos instantly 233 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl contender as well. Well, I think it 234 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: certainly can. I think the big thing for Tony Romos 235 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: we have to remember he hasn't been healthy for very while, 236 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: and how can he hold up if he gets knocked 237 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: around a little bit. You like the good in Tony Romo, 238 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: but you also have to remember at his age, he's 239 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: not very necessarily a doable or dependable commodity because every 240 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: time he gets hit, he gets hurt. All right, Let's 241 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: let's move on now to perfect pairs. And this is 242 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: something we've done over the last couple of years. We 243 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: kind of go division by division and we try and 244 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: find with their first two picks what we think would 245 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: be ideal fits for a football team. So let's start 246 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: off today. We do a FC North and let's start 247 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: with the Cleveland Browns. They own the number one overall picks, 248 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: so let's go perfect pairs. You're up first on who 249 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: would be the perfect fit for them at number one. 250 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: When you're picking number one, you want to make sure 251 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: that you get us stud a rock star, a blue 252 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: chip player, someone that can kind of change the face 253 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: of the franchise. Myles Garrett in this draft class, is 254 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: that guy you're talking about? An explosive pass rusher off 255 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: the edge of guy who has remarkable athletic traits. He's big, 256 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: he's fast, he's physical, he can rush off the edge. 257 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: He has the ability to not the quarterback down. And 258 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: when you compare him to some of the other number 259 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: one picks that have come off the board as passed 260 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: versus MARYO. Williams, Jadeveon Clowney, He's certainly in that grouping 261 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: when it comes to his athleticism. When I look at him, 262 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: he reminds me very much of Julius Peppers number two 263 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: overall pick. We took him when I was with the 264 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. He has been a dominant player for a 265 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: long time in this league. I believe Myles Garrett has 266 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: that kind of natural athleticism where he could be that 267 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 1: kind of difference maker for the Cleveland Brown Now that's 268 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: a good place to start at number twelve, their second 269 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: first round pick. I would say, O. J. Howard to 270 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: me would be a perfect pair there with a Miles Scarrett. O. J. 271 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: Howard had a chance, they had a chance to coach 272 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: him in the Senior Bowl. Bucky, He's one of those 273 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: rare guys who I think has a high ceiling and 274 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: a high floor. I think there's a very little bust 275 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: factor with him. He can do everything. He's he's He's 276 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: productive as a blocker. In the run game, he can 277 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: run every route you want from the tight end position. 278 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: He's great after the catch. He's got big time speed 279 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: to get down the seam and hit home runs. We 280 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: saw him do it a bunch uh last year, really 281 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: the last two years in the in the postseason, in 282 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: their playoff games there for Alabama. So I think at 283 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: pick number twelve, you pair up O. J. Howard and 284 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. The Browns cannot afford to miss there in 285 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: this mess because they've missed on so many first round picks. 286 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: I think these are two rock solid picks for this FOT. 287 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: I think they are absolutely rock solid. For O. J. Howard, 288 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: He's a guy that I call a solar system player. 289 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: He is a guy that I believe in the passing game, 290 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: you can build it around him. He's the son everything 291 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: revolves around him. He will make the other pieces around 292 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: him better. He also will help any quarterback improved because 293 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: he's a big or in the middle of the field. 294 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Cincinnati Bengals next up here. 295 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: They have the ninth overall. Pick a lot of different 296 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: areas they can go, but I look at somebody that 297 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: would just fit in perfectly with with what they are offensively. 298 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: I look at Mike Williams, look at some of the 299 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: receivers they lost last year. I think they had a 300 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: tough time replacing, but they lost with some new and 301 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: with Marvin Jones. I think you get Mike Williams from Clemson, 302 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: a big, physical wide receiver who's gonna get man coverage 303 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: because of a J. Green on the other side of 304 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: the field, and he will make you pay you you 305 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: try to one are out there in the red zone. 306 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: Leave Malone. Mike Williams gonna go up and make a 307 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: lot of plays. I think you'll make a lot of plays. 308 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: And when the Cincinnati being goes go back and look 309 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: at when they've been at their best, they've had multiple 310 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: playmakers on the perimeter uh the run that they've most 311 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: recently had when they had a lot of weapons, Marvin Jones, 312 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: mohammedan new a J. Green that could attack you in 313 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: a variety of different ways. If you go all the 314 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: way back to when they had Oteo Sinko and T. J. 315 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: Hushman Zada and had success. It's because they had dual 316 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: threats on the outside, players that could do a variety 317 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: of different things. A. J. Green is that guy, and 318 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: he's established. Mike Williams is another guy that I think 319 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: can do it in a variety of different ways. Even 320 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: though they questions about his speed, I love what he 321 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: is as a dominant player on the outside. All right, 322 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: how about pick number forty one, how about we talk 323 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: about it add an explosive weapons. How about Alvin Kamar. 324 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamar, coming out of Tennessee, is another one of 325 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: those triple threat players, runner, receiver, returner, a guy that 326 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: is explosive with the ball in his hands. And what 327 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: I really like about him in the passing game, I 328 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: think he is one of those matchup options where you 329 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: really can exploit the coverage of the defense. I know 330 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: he only didn't have any games where he carried him 331 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: more than eighteen times a game, but I believe you 332 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: can get him twenty touches in any variety. I believe 333 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: he's going to make enough explosive plays to change the game. 334 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: You add him, you had Mike Williams to go with 335 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: a A. J. Green and I continue to improve Andy Dalton. 336 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: I like this offense. Yeah, he's kind of a mixture 337 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: of what they have with their other two backs. He 338 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: can do a little bit of everything there. All right. 339 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens, Uh, let's go pick number sixteen for them. 340 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: You like a wide receiver there, Buck, Yeah, I'm gonna 341 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: go with a polished wide receiver, Corey Davis. Corey Davis, 342 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: coming out of Western Michigan, is one of the more 343 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: polished route runners in this draft. And even though he 344 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: comes from a place where they say, oh, it's a 345 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: small school standout, he kind of did it against mac competition. 346 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: Kenny sustain it. When you look at the tape, you 347 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: really like what he brings to the table. Outstanding route runner, 348 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: strong hands has a knack for making acrobatic catches. To me, 349 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: he's a natural number one receiver, someone that you certainly 350 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: can hang your hat on in the passing MP Yeah, 351 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: I like him a lot. At pick number forty eight, 352 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: let's go to a corner and add Fabian Morrow from U. C. 353 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: L A who height, weight, speed is there had some 354 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: durability issue earlier on but played great this year. Buck. 355 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: He's always in position, always in phase, can find and 356 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: locate the football. He's tough and physical. I think he's 357 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: a first round corner in any other draft. This year, 358 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: maybe he slides down because of the depth man at 359 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: pick number forty eight, you talk about a home run 360 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: that would be phenomenal. You certainly like him six foot 361 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: over two pounds. He's a guy that was a running 362 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: back when initially came into u c l A made 363 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: the transition to cornerback. I like the lift. I like 364 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: the explosives at the comment four three, five thirty eight 365 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: in vertical levin for a broad jump, you can see 366 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: the explosives and he's rocked up. He likes to tackle. 367 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: He is all those things that you look for and 368 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: based on what we know about how you have to 369 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: play in that a f C North, you need to 370 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: have big, physical players on the edges. He's one of 371 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: those guys. All right, let's move on now to the 372 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. They have pick number thirty overall, and there's 373 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: some guys. You watch him and you're just like, this 374 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: guy's at Pittsburgh steel He Philler. I remember watching him 375 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: when he came out. That's a that's a Pittsburgh Steeler. 376 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick from Temple to me is a classic Pittsburgh 377 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: Steeler football player. You talk about somebody that's instinctive, somebody 378 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: that's tough, physical, and he's versatile. That's the added bonus 379 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: you have with him. Could play with his hand down, 380 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: what she's done, you can stand him up and being 381 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: an outside linebacker, but I think his home, especially in 382 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: this scheme, is as an inside linebacker. He showed at 383 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl when he lined up in there Buck 384 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: he was outstanding in coverage. Blitz Roe's great to me 385 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: watching him though a nine on seven and team drills, 386 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: being able to sort through the trash for not having 387 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: spent much time in there, he was outstanding. So to me, 388 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: I think he's a plug and play guy and man 389 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: he'd make their defense go very natural. And in fact, 390 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: his background is very similar to the guy that he 391 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: would replace his background in Lawrence Timans. Lawrence Timmins was 392 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: an outside player at Florida State. They move him inside. 393 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: He has a lot of success. Reddick is a guy 394 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: that has worked his way from being a safety to 395 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: an edge Russian to being able to play inside. The 396 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: versatility was certainly helped him Umber sixty two here, second round, 397 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. They still need to find like someone 398 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: big on the inside that can affect the passing game. 399 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: I like Jesse James, but I'm looking to get better. 400 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: How about Adam Shaheen? Oh my Ashland guy? How about 401 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: talk about six six six been two d and seventy pounds, 402 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: can run like the win is a guy that is 403 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: right here. I mean that's two hundred and seventy seven pounds. 404 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: That's a lot of that moving and you think about 405 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: being in the run game, being a very very physical 406 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: blocker so you can still get leave Bilt on the edges. 407 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: He is a Pittsburgh Steeler type guy, someone that is physical, 408 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: it's aggressive, has nice hands. He kind of fists the 409 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: mold as at Pittsburgh tight end. Yeah. My comparison was 410 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: an old school Steeler tight end was Eric Green who 411 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: was that big, physical blocker but could also get out 412 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: and get down the seam and make some plays. So 413 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: to me, man he would be a great fit there 414 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. All Right, we've gone perfect pairs, 415 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: We've gone through the a f C. North will continue 416 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: to march through all these divisions as we get towards 417 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: the draft. Buck. But now we'll talk about interesting quarterback. 418 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: We we talk a lot about kind of the big 419 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: four that we've labeled in this draft. Right, We've got Watson, Troubisky, 420 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: Kaiser Mahomes has kind of joined that group. But there's 421 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: another guy that's quite intriguing from California, Davis Webb. You 422 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: had a chance to sit down and chat with him, Bucky, 423 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: I did. I love All right, let's let's roll it. 424 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm excited because I have my man top quarterback Senior 425 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: Bowl m v P, Davis Webb from cal How are 426 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: you doing? Doing well? Excide to be here at the 427 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: studio NFL Network. So how has the process been because 428 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: you've kind of been on the extended journey. You went 429 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: from playing your last game KL to go into the 430 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl to doing the combine and getting ready for 431 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: the pro the How is the process being for you? 432 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: It's been unbelievable. You know, my process is a little 433 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: different than most. Obviously, playing your first couple of years 434 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: of Texas Tech as a true freshman and true sophomore, 435 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: battles of injuries, had to leave fashion Mahomes came in 436 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: and when I was hurt and played great, so Uh, 437 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: Coach kings Barry and I had a little talk and 438 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: you know, transferring was the best decision for me and 439 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: landed up on cal and went from Levick, Texas to Berkeley, California, 440 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: which is a complete one eighty. Um. You got to 441 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: experience new teammates and new environment, UM, new offense a 442 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: little bit, and beat around coach Jake Spabotol coach Dike's UM. 443 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: It was a great experience. And uh, you know, going 444 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: to the Senior Bowl Phil Savage and his crew was 445 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: a great week. Went to coach Jackson, the Brown staff 446 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: wished a lot of fun and um, just throwing a 447 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: bunch at the Senior Bowl. I think had more completions 448 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: and all the other quarterbacks at attempts UM. So that 449 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 1: they are giving me a hard time for that, but 450 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: it it's it's been a lot of fun. You know, 451 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: get up on the board showing all these teams and 452 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: formal meetings at the Combine and at the Senior Bowl, 453 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: and now I got private workouts schedule. All these teams 454 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: will showing my football i Q and they've been blown away. UM. 455 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: Every after every interview, most GMS and owners and coaches 456 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: said that was the best one we've had at the combine. UM, 457 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: But I I don't really look at that way, you know. 458 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: I just want to get to a team that believes 459 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: in me, and whoever draft me, they're gonna get the 460 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: hardest working guy in the facility, the guy who's want 461 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: to prove them right every day. Because I'm not worried 462 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: about that at thirty one teams that didn't draft me. 463 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: I'm just worried about the one team that did, and 464 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 1: they stuck their heads had out there and put their 465 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: jobs online for me. So I take it that way 466 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: and I want to work every day for them. So 467 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: one of the things I know that most scouts will 468 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: always ask when they sit down with you, being at 469 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: the All Star Game or even at the Combine, they asked, 470 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: who do you pad in your game after? Who are 471 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: some of the guys that you look at on Sundays 472 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: that you say, Hey, I want to play like this 473 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: guy at the next level. Yeah. Every year since as 474 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: a freshman in college, I've kind of watched the top 475 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: five offenses in n C Double A as well as 476 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: the NFL, so obviously ill watch guys like Big Ben Um, 477 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan. There's so many guys 478 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: I've kind of just watched trying to steal schemes, find 479 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: new footwork, opportunities to get better there, and new ways 480 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: of throwing the football in different platforms, new drills. Um. 481 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: So I kind of modeled my game after a lot 482 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: of guys. I wouldn't say there's one particularly, but the 483 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: one guy always you know, is my favorite quarterback in 484 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: the world as Tom Brady, just the way Um he 485 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: persevered through so much in college, UM and in the NFL, 486 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: and it has his opportunity made the most of it. 487 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: Just I think we have a similar backstory when we'll 488 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: dealing with adversity and um, he's killed it and he's 489 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: the best guar I to ever play this game. So 490 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: it's interesting that you brought up the adversity, uh question, 491 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: because I want to ask you about this. One of 492 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: the things that we do on the podcast, we always 493 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: ask people what has been the biggest hardship that you've 494 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: had to overcome. Yeah, obviously, being the guy for two 495 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: years and then being demoted to the backup junior year 496 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: is not an easy situation to go to being a 497 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: captain at Texas Tech. Um being the backup quarterback that 498 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: junior year. Um, it was hard, it was it wasn't easy, 499 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: And UM, I had two ways ago about it. Could 500 00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: have had a bad teammate and let everyone around me 501 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: get really down and just kind of private one down 502 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: around me. Or I could have been a great teammate 503 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: and waited from opportunity to come. And boy did I 504 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: wanted to come in Texas Tech. I was excited every 505 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: day at practice, every meeting, in every game. I was 506 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: ready to go. Just never came to Texas Tech. So 507 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: I left for Cal and UM eight weeks later as 508 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: voted to captain bere by Cal. And that's why the 509 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: greatest I've ever received. And UM had an opportunity this 510 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: year and made the most of it. And now I'm 511 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: just looking forward to my pro day and UM knocking 512 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: that out of the park. And then private workouts have 513 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: a bunch scheduled and uh, you know, ready for the 514 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: draft night. Okay, So we talked about the horseship. So 515 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: now I have to ask you because you talked about 516 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: me in a captain in a KL being one of 517 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: the biggest honors, But what has been the biggest highlight 518 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: of your career. There's a bunch you know. I think 519 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: you know everyone's talked about my freshman year beating in 520 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: Arizona State and the Holiday Bowl. I think we were, um, 521 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: not favored by at all by anybody. Um, They're a 522 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: top twelve team in the country. Had Will Sutton, Carl Bradford, 523 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 1: um Darby was one of the good stities. They had 524 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: Taylor Kelly playing quarterback. Todd Graham's a great Defen's of mine. Um, 525 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: that was a bunch of fun. Um. My first really 526 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: game I've ever played in was TCU. They were ranked 527 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: top twenty five and I came in do the game 528 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: when he touchedown passed to win that game. And UM, 529 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: but I think the best moment I think college for me, 530 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: Um because I went to Texas Tech for three years, 531 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: never got the chance to play Texas, never did and 532 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: I grew up loving Texas, love Colte McCoy, love Vince Young, Um, 533 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: Jamal Charles Limons Sweet and there's so many guys I 534 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: watched growing up and never played him in Texas Tech. 535 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: And then cal I get a chance of playhim at 536 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: home in Berkeley, and um, it was a shootout and 537 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: it came down to the last minute, and uh, that 538 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: was a great win for our program. I have to 539 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: ask you who's your hero. Who's the one person that 540 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: you look up to. I would say my dad. Um, 541 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: he's a high school football coach at Frisco Centinnial. Now, Um, 542 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: just the way I've watched him over the years, being 543 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: the bat boy or the ball boy growing up, Seeing 544 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: the way he brings teams together, his team bonding to 545 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: get the way his guys respect him and still contact 546 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: him today when they have families, you know, fifteen years later. Um, 547 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: the way he coached me and was you know, hard 548 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: on me growing up. At the same time, that's why 549 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm here today and he's I talked to him every 550 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: single day. Um, around five o'clock, gives me a call, 551 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: I give him a call, and we have a really 552 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: good relationship. And the biggest you know thing that coaches 553 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL ask me is how's your dad involved? 554 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: And I said, well, honestly, he's not my football coach anymore. 555 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: So he's more concerned if I do right on and 556 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: off the field. And when I'm playing my game, make 557 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: sure you're not cussing because your little cousins out there watching. 558 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: So I just try to be the best um son 559 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: I can be because they raised me right my parents did, 560 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: and be a good quarterback on the side. So what 561 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: do you think Bucky Davis Webb as a player? How 562 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: does he stack up with those other four we mentioned 563 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: before we talked to him. I like him a lot. 564 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: I like him because he's experienced. He's throwing the ball 565 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: a lot, so those reps really really matter. I like 566 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: his arm I like his footwork. I think he has 567 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: a high football like you. And he was really impressive 568 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: to me at the Senior Bowl. His ability to adapt 569 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: to a pro style system to me erases some of 570 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: the questions that we may have had about his ability 571 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: to go from the testas tech offense to the kal 572 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: offense too now an NFL team, I like him a lot. 573 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: I think somewhere in the second round is a nice 574 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: sweet spot for him to come off the board. Yeah, 575 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: A couple of things. Look, it's not complicated, A couple 576 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: of basic things you look at when you're evaluating these quarterbacks. 577 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: And number one, can he make rethrow we need him 578 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: to make? He checks that right. Number two is can 579 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: he learn everything we want him to learn. I think 580 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: he checks that box. So to me, it's just about 581 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: getting him some time and some reps in a pro system, 582 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: and I think eventually could have a nice payoff. Yeah, 583 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I love his football like you. 584 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: His ability to go to Cow emerge as a captain, 585 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: learned that offense and be a master of that offense. 586 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: I think it speaks volumes about what he is as player. 587 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: All right, So let me just to see what what 588 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: happens with David's Webb in the draft of Bucky. We've 589 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: been in the middle of kind of it's going on 590 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: for over a month now, the scouting competition that we 591 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: cranked up. So what we did is we kind of 592 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: put the challenge out there to the folks on Twitter 593 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: and said, if you want to be a scout, let 594 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: just send us a report on a player, and me 595 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: and Bucky are gonna get a chance to look at 596 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: your reports, and we're gonna pare it down. We're gonna 597 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: try and get five finalists. We started, we almost had 598 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: three hundred entries into our scouting competition. We paired it 599 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: down to five. We brought the five in on audio 600 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: podcast and did a little video with them a couple 601 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and then we were able to out 602 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: of that five, we're trying to get it down to 603 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: two winners, and so part of that process was we 604 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: assigned a player, Eric Weddle, same player to all five guys. 605 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: We actually had one unfortunately had to drop out, so 606 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: we ended up going down to four finalists, and so 607 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: we needed those four guys to submit a report on 608 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: Eric Weddle. And then we wanted to also kind of 609 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: simulate if you're in the draft room, right, so you 610 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: have to get the draft, you have to make your 611 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: case for a player. So we gave him each thirty seconds. 612 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: Our four finalists thirty seconds to make their case for 613 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: Eric Weddle, what he's about and how that would make 614 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: sense and why you should pick him. So let's go 615 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: ahead and see what our four finalists had to say 616 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: about Mr Weddle. I believe that with my reporter on 617 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: Eric Weddle, I covered every trade accurately and descriptively. I 618 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: really painted a picture, as they say, And not only 619 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: did I do film work, I did all the background 620 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: research that goes into really building a scouting report, so 621 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: I could accurately describe how I thought about him on 622 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: film and off the field than any issues he had 623 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: their medically and anything else that he had. Eric Weddle 624 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: can be your defensive leader. He's extremely versatile covering tight ends, 625 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: wide receivers and running backs. He plays center field and 626 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: he plays run fits very well, lose pretty well for 627 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: his age, still um super active before the snap. Can 628 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: even Bliss and who else can say they've sacked and 629 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: intercepted Tom Brady in the same game. Eric Weddle is 630 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: a versatile coverage chess piece with fantastic reading reactability. His 631 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: knack for not only anticipating route development and play design 632 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: in all areas of the field, but to act on 633 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: it really quickly is what makes them so special. Baltimore 634 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: uses them all over too, and his versatility is really 635 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: problematic because it allows Baltimore shift in disguiser looks at 636 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: the line. If I had to nitpick, though, I'd say 637 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: what's main drawback is the lack of physicality. He's not 638 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: a traditional in the box thumper, and he can get 639 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: box out of times by bigger tight ends. It's more 640 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: of a stylistic thing than a flaw, but had showed 641 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: itself in the run game as well. Overall, though, I'd 642 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: say Well is a back end Swiss Army knife with 643 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: top in mental processing skills and one of the best 644 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: safeties in the game today. Saric Weddles a versatile instinctive safety. Um. 645 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,239 Speaker 1: He's a guy who plays with good instincts and that 646 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: makes up for his uh, you know, average speeding explosiveness. 647 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: He makes good moves towards the ball and has good 648 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: solid tackling. His eyes always in the backfield, and because 649 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: of that he's able to put himself in position to 650 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: make good place both in the box and coverage and 651 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: out in the slot. Um. He got. He quickly diagnoses 652 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: and reacts to plays and keeps like I said, keeps 653 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: his eyes in the backfield, on the quarterback uh and 654 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: puts himself in the right spot. He's a highly versatile player. UH. 655 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: And he's fun to watch. And he might call him 656 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: the around the NFL Podcast of safeties. All right, Bucky, Well, 657 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: it's not easy. Pairing this down not easy.

But Ethan Young, if you have a stamp, 687 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: we give you one stamp. You get to put it 688 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: on one player in this draft class. I know you're 689 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: all in on this process, so I need one player. 690 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: Put your stamp on him. Oh, okay. One guy I've 691 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: really liked on tape and I'm really curious to see 692 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: how he runs in his pro day. Is Mike Williams 693 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: at a Clemson Okay, that's just hang your head on. Yeah. 694 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: I really like his physicality at the catch point. You know, 695 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: he's a dog in the red zone. You know, you 696 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: throw it up the ball, he's gonna go up and 697 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: get it. And I love that and sort of the 698 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, the split in receiver. That's what I want. 699 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think at the next level 700 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna be physically dominant. You know, the fort is 701 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,719 Speaker 1: gonna be a question is pro day. You know, hopefully 702 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: he's not the treadwell long speed guy. But Ethan, you 703 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: know what, you know what Mike Williams is you know 704 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: what he is. He's the same as you.

That was 758 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: our first scouting competition, Bucky. I'm gonna call it a 759 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: six as we've got a lot of people involved in 760 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: a lot of interaction. It was fun give everybody a 761 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: chance to be a scout for a day. Yeah, it 762 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: was exciting. Maybe we can get more people, more participants, 763 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: have been bigger class, more competition. We're gonna go for 764 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: a thousand. We want a thousand entrants in the in 765 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: our contest next year. All right. We got some some 766 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: big newses came down today and that's Eddie Lacey has 767 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: signed with the Seattle Seahawks. Surprised by that one. I 768 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: am a little surprised by that because they had a 769 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: lot of running backs come through the Adrian Peterson. I 770 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: know Jamal Charles is on his way to come through there, 771 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: but they elected to go with Eddie Lace. And Eddie 772 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: Lacey had two outstanding years at the beginning of his career, 773 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: over a thousand and both of those years. But since 774 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: then we've seen him kind of struggle with Waite, struggle 775 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: with injuries and some of the like I wonder if 776 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: he can get back on track. One of the reports 777 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: that I heard two and sixty seven pound, he was 778 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: listed at two thirty four. Now, I and m J 779 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: D used to give me a tough time on game 780 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: day Blitz because I would call him Honey Bun. But 781 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: until he gets under that two sixty mark, yeah, well 782 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: he is forever known as Honey. But so as we 783 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: spend it towards the draft. Buck first of all, obviously 784 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: no longer in Green Bay time Montgomery, I mean they 785 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: got I think they him up with the back in 786 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: the draft, gentimate running back. I think they need a 787 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: legitimate running back because when they've been at their best 788 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: when they went to Super Bowl, they hey, Ryan Grant, 789 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: they just need a bail cow back, someone that can 790 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of do it all from the dot position. I 791 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: don't know if Time Montgomery is that the lawn term. 792 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: We talked to a running back from b y U 793 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: that I thought would look pretty pretty good for the 794 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,239 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers in the middle rounds. So there'll be 795 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: some plenty of options for them there. Uh as we 796 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: as we go along, I'm sure the Packers maybe bringing 797 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: a free agent or so, but lots of draft options 798 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: as well. Oh, Bucky, we did it. It's our our 799 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: first video shows. Thanks to the to the U. S. 800 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: Marine Corps.
