<v Speaker 1>flag now here to preview the offensive lineman. The writers

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>of Patriots dot Com Time once again for another draft

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>podcast preview offensive line. You know my favorite micd so

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman. The big guys up front. Those are the

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>guys that make the engine go, don't you know, the

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>big guys up front on both sides of the ball.

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It's all about line play, said no one anywhere ever,

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>except for Mike dou sou defensive line. I could get

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>at the offensive lines a little bit of a slog,

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>but hey, position of need for the Patriots. They ted

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Harris has gone, Shack Mason got traded, so so definitely

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>need a guard and then you know a tackle. You

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>brought Trump brownback, but Isaiah went entering the last year

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>of his deal, so you have some injury concerns with

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the two guys that are there. Justin Harran showed some promise,

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's a long term need as well.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>So I think a lot of these positions are on

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the table for them early and often. Absolutely, and we

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>are wrapping up offense today. This is our final position

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>on offense only because I couldn't put it off any longer.

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>We will do the offensive line. And as has been

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the case throughout our twenty twenty two draft A preview podcasts,

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Matise Bauman is with us as well, probably not as

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>eager on this one Mike as he has been with

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, running backs and wide receivers, and I don't know,

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.199
<v Speaker 1>he's pretty excited upstairs all the Glen response. But tease,

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>what say you of the Specifically, it's start off with tackle.

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll spend most of our time with tackle. And I

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>think Mike is right. I think this is an area

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.479
<v Speaker 1>that the Patriots could absolutely call upon at pick number

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Offensive line, as Mike mapped out, is in

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 1>need for the Patriots. Any of these guys stick out

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 1>to you at the top, Definitely, Evan Neil. I mean

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>he's just a behemoth six seven, three hundred and thirty

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>seven pounds, very quick for his overall size. I think

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that might be one of the number one picks off

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the board. I don't know how he wasted three hundred

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and thirty seven pounds and he's just looking at him.

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's not much fat at all on him,

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>no bad weight at all. Another Alabama guy, but absolutely

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>him and if if he could also be a potential

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, top five pick. I think those two guys,

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>those guys top ten anyway, And I agree with you

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>another thing that really stuck out, and not just with

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.839
<v Speaker 1>these top two guys, and they clearly with the top

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>two guys, but um, a lot of nasty in some

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of these guys. Just tossing dudes around after you know

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>at or as they say in the draft, draft speak

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 1>to the echo of the whistle. They like to play

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to the echo of the whistle. I agree with you

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 1>guys about both of those players. Evan Neil, I think

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>is going to be another one on the long line

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>of just solid prospects coming out the Alabama offensive line.

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>But moving a little bit further down the line here,

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>there were reports last week that the Patriots had some

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>had one of the visits, one of the thirty visits

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>with Trevor Penning right, that was the the offensive him.

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 1>You know me, they are all blending together. Offensive. Where

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>do I tell you you're dead on, do it on

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>your own time, but this is my time, so I'm here.

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I might as well talk about Penning a little bit.

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>My one concern there, And I don't know how you

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>guys felt about this. It's just the level of competition.

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Just you watch the Northern Iowa tape and not that

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>we have extensive you know, catalogs of tape that we're watching,

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>but you see the highlights. He's so much bigger than

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>anybody else on the field. Yeah, and you just wonder,

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, if if it was a little bit more

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>of an even playing field, which obviously it will be

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>next year, does the same kind of dominance, you know,

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>shine through. Yeah. I think he showed up well at

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>the Senior Bowl. I know, watching some of those practices,

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>he had a little extra business for everybody a little

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>after the whistle, getting guys, So you know, how's that

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>going to carry over as well? But but you gotta

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>love the attitude and I think, you know, depending on

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>what you look at. Again, a lot of these mock

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>drafts are all over the place, but I feel like

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Penning could could definitely be a guy that that's kind

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>of in their range along with with the the guy

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>from Austria. Bernard Raymond, who who I talked to with

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the combine, asked him a little bit of, you know

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>about about his inspiration along the international journey, and you know,

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>he specifically called out Jacob Johnson and Sebastian Volmer. It's

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.119
<v Speaker 1>hard not to, you know, see shades of Volmer, see

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>shades a little bit of Nate Solder with his you know,

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>start as a tight end. So he's got some athletic

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>feat but um, you know again, everybody's gotten some concerns

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>and I think he's one who's late to the game.

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>He's learning it a little bit. So I think Penning Raymond,

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>those guys seem to potentially make sense in that twenty

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>one area if they were to fall. Both could be

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>a third tackled as a rookie backup, get their feet

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>wet a little bit and learn the pro game. So

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>like both those guys, I think they're they're sort of

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a made soldier profile. You know. The idea was to

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>bring him in Havenim be the third guy, uh and

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>then you know rustled in. But yeah, you get an

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>injury and you get thrust into it like Solder did.

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>But um, which one of those two did? You like

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 1>tease out of Penning Penning in Raymond, I like Penning more.

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I think just with the small skoy is a little

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>bit of a a chip on his shoulder. As Mike said

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>at the Senior Bowl, he was getting into it after

0:04:58.080 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the whistle. Didn't want people to know that he's from

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a all school. It's not gonna hold him back. Yeah,

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and I did. Like you know, Mike referenced the tight

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>end background for Raymond, it wasn't just like that he

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>was a high school you know, these guys are all

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>high school somethings. Yet twenty catches at Central Michigan as

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a tight end in his first couple of seasons, So

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more athleticism there, I would say, than

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>what you're going to typically get at that poses. I

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>mean not to you know, jump down the list a

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit. But you know, the other guy who played

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>on the other side, Lucadecki, is another former tight end

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>that they moved there at Central Michigan UM and and

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little bit of a later round process prospect,

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>but a guy that that I also liked and you know,

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 1>stuck out to me. You kind of get stuck watching Raymond.

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>But but I think he got highlighted with with some

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 1>of his good plays over at the right tackle spot.

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I think ideally you'd love to get a guy who

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 1>has those athletic features to play potentially left tackle, that would,

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, give you some long term excitement about developing somebody.

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>But but he was another guy just to kind of

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>tie it in real quick with the central Michigan connection. Yeah,

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and I do think tackle would be a position at

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty one that I would would make some sense, and

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, moving further down if they don't, if they're

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>not able to get it in the first round, because

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I really think they could take anything. We've talked about

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>this at all of the different podcasts we've already done.

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>They could take almost anything at twenty one. I'd rather

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>see a tackle though, than an interior guy if they're

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>going to go really at the top of the draft.

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>And some people disagree with that because we're gonna start

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>talking about some guards now too. And Zion Johnson, the

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>kid from Boston College right here in our backyard. You know,

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a guy that a lot of people are very

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>high on. He looks the part I mean, he could play.

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not telling you this guy's not going to be

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>able to play. I just I don't know if if

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>taking a guard. You know, like a lot of people said, well,

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Logan Mankins was a guard. Well, there's two things involved

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>in that pick that to me are a little bit different.

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Number One, he was a tackle in college, and I

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think Bill Belichick knew when he drafted him he

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>was automatically going to be a guard. That happened great,

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.479
<v Speaker 1>worked out one of the best offensive linemen in the

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>history of the franchise. But the second part of that

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is taken with the thirty second overall pick. So twenty

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that doesn't seem like that much, but twenty

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>one and thirty two, to me, that that's a significant difference.

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I just I feel like you can get guards. I

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like tackles are tougher to find, So if you're

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna go offensive line, I'd rather it be tackle. I

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you guys feeling that. I'm with you

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>on that one, and I throw it in two. You know,

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that was a Patriots team thirty two, coming off a

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl championship. Maybe not quite the vast number of

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>needs that this team kind of needs right now, but

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, to to Kenyan Green is another one I'd

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>throw in the mix, and you know, I think he

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>almost plays a little bit more of a chip on

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>his shoulder. He's played all over the line, which is

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>something that I always kind of have my radar out

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>for with these guys on the inside, and you know,

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>having that ability and design has the ability too, I

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>think to fill in outside in a pinch. But but

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I think those two were kind of the top two guards,

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and I think that by the time they get to

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty one, they're probably going to be around. So it's

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely something to talk about. I like Charles Cross

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and I think he plays tackle, but he can also

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>play a bit of guard. I think, as we say,

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 1>versatility is key and if you can really move along

0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the line helps. I would put the kid from Kentucky

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>there too, Dari and Knard. I think it is um

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>He played all tackle at Kentucky and kind of a

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>different kind of offense too, that Liam Cohen offense. You

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>know who's starting to get a lot of buzz now

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the former UMass quarterback who is now did he get

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:22.679
<v Speaker 1>the offensive coordinator job where I'm not sure I forget well, anyway,

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>he was UMass quarterbacks was, yeah, we'll get it in.

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>He went to he coached all throughout New England and

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>then he got the offensive coordinator job at Kentucky, so

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a different kind of offense that he ran. I think

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Canard is better suited for guard based on what I read.

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Not going to try to pretend that I made the

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>evaluation because I don't do that. I don't pretend I

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>make these evaluations. I rely on others to do show

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>for me, and he did. He did look like he

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>had those kinds of skill sets. Maybe works a little

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>bit better in tighter quarters. Um, you know, in terms

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of the other interior guys. You know a little bit

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 1>further down, another small school guy out of Chattanooga, Cole Strange,

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>love that name. Cole stopular one. Um, you know out

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of Chattanooga. He's another one that you guys talked about.

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Went to the Senior Bowl, um, you know, which is

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>good for those you know, the lower level Division one guys,

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the FCS guys. It gives him a chance to compete

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>against the best and he can sort of evaluate a

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit. So he's a maybe a Day three guy

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>or you know, maybe a late Day two guy at best. Um.

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, so if you're looking a little bit further

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>down the line, those are some of the guys that

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at. Jamari Sailor from Uh he's a favorite

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of himself. He uh yeah, remind me a little bit

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of on when you you know thickness like just one

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you just seemed so wide to us. I remember when

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>him rock walking out the training camp as a rookie

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and just like big Mike there he is. You can

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>just see this massive square kind of water rectangle walking

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>onto the field. UM. I felt that way with him.

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 1>He just felt like a big brute um that that

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe could be complimentary to that style. Cold

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Cole Strange, I definitely put a check mark next to him.

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>He's been a popular one. Just thought he was a

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.320
<v Speaker 1>good athlete and uh and one other was Dylan Parham.

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Um I wrote Ted Carris down a little bit of

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 1>reminder there another versatile guy for your starter. UM a

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of experience. But you know, I think these interior

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>guys you mentioned Strange, Sallier, even Tyrese Robinson from Oklahoma

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and guy I talked too with the Combine about Romandre Um.

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>There's just these mid round kind of guys that you

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>think may might even be able to come in and start.

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look over the mind you did so put

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>some center too at the Senior Bowl. So again to

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Matisa's point about the versatility, if you can move around

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>those interior guys, it really helps you. If you could

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>play all three of those spots. Yep, for sure, but

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>lots of options and you know, as I just find,

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.959
<v Speaker 1>these are the hardest positions to to really get a

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.719
<v Speaker 1>beat on. You certainly like guys who are versatile, guys

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>who have been captains, you know, guys who can move

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty well. I think that's something they look at with,

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, like a model of Shack Mason, not the

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 1>biggest guy, but can really run so any of those

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>things that they can do. But you know who was

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>on will Sherman last year, or it's you get down

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>in these day three guys don't need to be it's

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of it's trying to find, you know, that that

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>random guy that that they like. But but I think

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of options and you know, hopefully they

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>can come out, I really do. I think they've got

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>some depth, but I think they need to solidify things,

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>especially for the long term at tackle. I think you

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>could get two offensive lineman in this draft class. It's

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.319
<v Speaker 1>always a spot that that Belichick likes to tap at

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the draft anyway, but they have a need and just

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>it would be remiss if you didn't mention Tyler Linderbaum

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>only because here's the top rated center in the class

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and he went to Iowa. So it's all those Belichick

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of things like what could be better? But it

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>looks like he may be a little bit higher than

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.719
<v Speaker 1>the way they would draft him. But he's like one

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of those step right in. He's your guy for for

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the foreseeable future. Yeah, so, uh, I'm not going to

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 1>spend too much time on the centers, but we all agree, Uh,

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the offensive line is a need. There are

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>some tackles here. I know the Patriots have looked at

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>some of them, They've had some of them come in.

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>So we'll have to try to figure out if that's

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>smokescreen or how much reality there is to it. And

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it just kind of comes down to how the

0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>board unfolds and who they like the most. But this

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>is a position of need, even though I don't care

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it anymore, that I happen. So I'll

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>leave that with you. Guys. And now that's going to

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 1>wrap up offense, but we have a long way to

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>go because there's some positions on defense too. We'll get

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to those next. Thank you for downloading this podcast, Subscribe
