WEBVTT - Complete 2024 NFL Draft Recap and UDFA Breakdowns | Ticket to the Draft Podcast | Washington Commanders 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.440 Welcome to the Ticket to the Draft podcast, presented by Seekik, 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.720 the official primary ticketing partner of the Washington Commanders. I'm 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.160 Logan Paulson here with Jess the Guy, Jason and Jason. 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:23.160 We are doing a draft recap coupled with some free 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:24.680 agency stuff, right, is that we're doing it? 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.960 Yeah, the undrafted free agents, the rookies that weren't drafted 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:29.600 but came in much like your path. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.080 Yes, that's right exactly. Yeah, So really looking forward to 0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:33.839 talking about some of those guys because I have a 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.600 obviously a special place in my heart for those types 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:37.000 of guys. 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.200 You know, Yeah, I do know you made a pretty 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.559 pretty darn good career even though you weren't drafted, and 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:45.440 so did like London Fletcher, like, there are ballplayers that 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.160 come out of the UDFA, So it's worth talking about 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:48.840 some of these guys. 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.199 Yeah, absolutely, So first off, we got an announcement though 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.880 we're going to talk about so obviously this show is 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.400 called Ticket of the Draft. Yeah, and the Draft is over, 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.319 but we feel like we can still do shows kind 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.240 of recapping how the rookie, our rookie draft class is doing, 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.920 rookie class as a whole is doing how our evaluations 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.880 are holding up. But we feel like we don't need 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.280 to do that every single week, so we're gonna do 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.240 once a month basically, right, Is that kind of the 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:14.880 gist of it. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.360 Overall, Like the response from our fans over this podcast 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.199 has been tremendous, So we don't want to just leave 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.360 you guys right where our last episode was instant reactions 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.520 after the second and third round, we thought that was 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.080 the end, so it was a little sad, but then 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.039 we looked at the numbers and we're like, man, we 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.800 can do something here, like you were saying. So, yeah, 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.480 we're going to talk about the rest of the draft, 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.280 the udfas and maybe I'm going to say once a 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.200 month ish. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.080 Yeah, give or take. 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:44.880 And yeah, we're going to look in on how the 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.520 rookies were doing here. The draft is over, but I 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.400 think it's worth keeping up with them. Let's see how 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.840 they panned out, like all this hype about them, all 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.160 these like all the analysis we did, all the hours 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.960 we spend in film, like, let's see how it pans out. Well, 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:58.800 we'll talk you through it. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.680 Yeah, And I think like one of the things I 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.000 always appreciate, I always I find very frustrating about draft 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.080 analysis in general is they give you your grade, it's 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.800 the day after the draft, but then what does that 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.800 look like a month, two months, six months from now 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.760 when they're playing football games. We can maybe revisit some 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.760 of these picks obviously internally, but some of the guys 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.120 we liked maybe that are on different teams to kind 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.080 of talk through, you know, maybe why they hit, why 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:22.960 they didn't hit, and kind of take you on our 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.160 journey as we refine our scouting process. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.240 So that's kind of that'll be that'll be fun. 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.400 Yeah, because it doesn't just end with the draft as 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.680 far as like scouting goes. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:30.959 Right. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.639 So if I'm going to do this again next year, 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.040 which I would like to do as far as like 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.600 scouting more prospects and watching film, I want to learn 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.480 from this. So how do I learn? Well, I need 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.959 to see what the result is, right, So I need 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.440 to like take a microscope to migrating process my scouting process, 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.240 or how did it pan out? Where did I get 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.320 it wrong? How can I refine so that if ticket 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.320 to the draft twenty twenty or five homes up, we're 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.600 a little more I don't want to say accurate, but 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:58.440 we're a little more. 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.680 Polished, Yeah, a little bit more refined up. But in 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.440 the meantime, let's review our draft. 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.720 Obviously, like we're gonna go quickly through kind of the 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.840 drafted guys because we did a you know what we do, 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.520 We did a first day recap, second day recap, so 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.720 a lot of these guys we've already talked about, but 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.560 just kind of as refreshers. Obviously, Jade and Daniels were 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.640 both really stoked on that. Yeah, that's probably the end 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.560 of the analysis. There'shn Newton, he falls to the Commanders 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:22.840 at the top of the second round. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.160 There, good football player. We're both excited about him. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.639 Guy that I'm probably most excited about of these top 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.880 three is Mike Sandristil. I just like loved his film, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.600 Love the kind of competitor, love the leadership, love the 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.000 ball skills, and I just think about him in this 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.520 Commander's defense, you know, kind of looking at what they 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.200 did in Dallas, and I just get really stoked for 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.400 what he means. And also I think he's interesting because 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.760 you know, what does he mean for Kwan Martin, What 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.920 does he mean for Benjamin Saint Jus. He's just this 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.720 really dynamic piece that plays Nickel and we had a 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.520 good football player in Nickel before in Kwan. Do like 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.839 what role does does Quand now take or does Mike 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.360 and Wills will take a different role? So I think 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.280 that's a really compelling decision there, honestly, you know, in 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.640 terms of the direction that the defense is going with 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:08.240 this selection. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.840 Yeah, he's a baller, and I want to see how 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.880 Emmanuel Forbes responds all this too, Not that it's like 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.000 I just wonder how it's gonna help his game because 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.120 he had a little bit of a rough rookie season, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.320 but the talent is there. Yeah, right, he's a good 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.080 player and I'm expecting a bounce back season for him, 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.720 and like just helping secure the secondary, make the secondary 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.600 another ballhawk is out there, right, So like, how does 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.839 that help Forbes his game? How does that help develop 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.680 him and grow him? And like, I think it can 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.640 only be up right, Like I think this group is 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.880 getting better. So I'm just I'm excited the impact like 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.440 you said with Benzaman Saint Juice with Kwan, I'm excited 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.760 mostly with Forbes. I'd love to see him getting ballack 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.159 ballhawk role as well. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.400 Yeah, and I think again, like The thing I'm also 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.080 excited about is this is a little bit off topic, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.080 a little bit out of the scope of this show specifically, 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.520 is just how the coaching is going to affect that group. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.039 I think everyone talking about the quarterback, but to me, 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.919 I'm really excited to see how the coaching additions of 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.840 players like Mike Sanders still impact this defense. And I 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.400 really think that if that group can come together, it's 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.880 got a bunch of talented pieces. But I think, you know, 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.080 last year, coaching wasn't maybe we were supposed to be. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.200 Hopefully this gets them corrected, obviously. And then the next 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.280 pick is Bensonatt from Kansas State, the tight end, and 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.840 I'm again really excited to see how he's going to 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.840 be used, Like is he the fullback? 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:26.719 Is he the move guy? 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.600 Ken Cliff Kingsbury use him to kind of create matchups 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.080 in the offense. I think it's going to be really interesting. 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.520 And how do you maximize his skill set because he's 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.520 not like a true inline guy, but he's not a 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.200 true off the ball guy. He's got this tremendous athletic profile. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.039 Like when you look at the force played data in 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.360 his vertical jumps didn't really show up in the forty. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:47.680 I mean, he ran a fast forty as a four 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.039 to six something, but I think the explosive measurements in 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.760 those jumps kind of make me think there's more in 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.680 the tank there from an athletic perspective. Tracks the ball well, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.599 mismatch weapon, nice physicality, so really curious to see what 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.320 he's going to be. And then Brandon Coleman, the offensive 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.000 tack from TCU, I think is maybe to me, maybe 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.159 the most interesting pick of the entire draft for the Commanders. Yeah, 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:10.880 and I would say because like you know, there was 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.039 all these names who were kind of bantering about, you know, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.680 we've got you know, you're Patrick Paul's your Kings, Usumatis, 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.320 You're Karen Amadigi from Yale, You're Roger like those kind 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.400 of four guys. And I had a conversation with Trevor 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.120 Sickoman to day actually, and one of the things he 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.279 said is that he actually had Brandon Coleman as a tackle, 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.640 like the third guy in that group, you know, as 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.679 opposed to saying, you know, I had him as a guard. 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.080 But I think when you look at the arm length, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.599 you look at the athletic profile, you look at the 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.960 basketball background. You look at the kind of the the 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.880 novelty he's been exposed to with football. He didn't play 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.840 high school football, you know, he played a juco transfer 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.520 to TCU, so he's really new to the game. And 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.360 you think if you look at the athlete, look at 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.480 the length, you say, man, maybe he could be something 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.240 pretty special here at offensive tackle. I think he's got 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.240 to develop a little bit. But you know, like we've 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.960 seen guys develop really quickly third round picks become impact 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.320 players along the offensive line. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.680 Yeah, he's seventieth percentile in the tackle position in length. Yeah, 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.600 when his measurements came in. And I think the PFF 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.400 stats that have come out that we've been talking about 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.520 with him all the time is this one. It's the 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.440 one three hundred and seven pass blocking snaps in his 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.560 college career, only fifty four QB pretchers and only three 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.240 sacks allowed when a national championship team. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.520 Yeah, and we've talked about this a lot too. Like 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.760 he you know, I think there's some novelty, like some 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.840 obviously he's new to playing football, but I think the 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.800 thing that sticks out is he does have a pretty 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.480 decent feel for like his relationship to the rusher. Now 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.680 it's now, it's not perfect all the time, but I 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.720 think you see a really nice floor. And then because 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.040 that floor is so high, and because of those athletic 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.920 measurs athletic measurables are so are also so high. You say, man, 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.800 maybe this guy can become like kind of a pretty 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.920 special left tackle. But again, there's some growth there, some 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.960 development that needs to happened. But really really curious to 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.360 see how that happens, because I know people has been 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.200 calling for left tackle, left tackle, left tackle again. I 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.400 think this is a good reason why Cornelius Lucas is here, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.960 because I think Cornelia Szucas can hold down the fort 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.400 you know, if Brandon Coleman does need to develop, and 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.120 I think also Brandon Coleman's. 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.720 Flexibility to guard is also valuable here. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.720 Let's say Cornelias Lucas comes out and plays excellent in 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.840 training camp, and then this allows you to get your 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.160 best five guys on the field, which would be which 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.200 would be pretty cool, especially if corn can get that done. 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:28.000 Next guy, Luke McCaffrey, a guy that I think we're 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:28.840 both pretty high on. 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.480 Also new to the receiver position. Some novelty there. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.640 It's funny like Mike Sanders still Brandon Coleman and Luke 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.680 McCaffrey all kind of new, not the football but to 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.520 the position that they're playing. Mike Sanders still changed from receiver, 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.600 Luke McCaffrey moved a receiver from quarterback. Kind of that tough, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:50.000 big slot guy, tremendous and contested catch situations. I think 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.800 short area quickness tested better than shows up on film. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.520 But I think as he gets more into the position, 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.280 I think they'll just grow and become more nuanced. And 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.240 a guy that I think think again has a great 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.000 floor because of the pedigree, the background, obviously his brother 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.840 and his father. His mother was a college softball player, 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.400 his grandfather was an Olympic track athlete. Like, there is 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.040 a pedigree of professionalism with him that I think sets 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:15.680 the floor. And I think when you look at his 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.160 improvement since he made the transition a wide receiver, I 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.160 think you were telling me this. He had two touchdowns 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.200 in twenty two and then fourteen or sixteen touchdowns in 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.800 twenty three. So obviously a guy that's really kind of 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.000 on this exponential learning curve, much like Jane Daniels too, right, 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.760 you just see guys on this kind of nice linear trajectory. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.480 So a guy that I think is going to make 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.480 an impact, kind of fill that big slot role, willing 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.640 to do the dirty work, but also has some nice 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.480 athletic traits in addition to good size that makes you 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.120 excited about the direction that position is going. 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:50.120 Yeah, he was. He had top six finishes in seven 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.080 per play statistical categories. I know that's kind of a 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.440 word salid, but basically what that means is he was solid. Yeah, 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.559 he was solid across the board. In twenty twenty two, 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.120 he had perfect averages in catchable pass catch rate. 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:04.600 Yeah. 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.680 According to PF it means that if the ball is 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.760 close and he should catch it, he caught it. And 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.800 he had zero drop passes in twenty twenty two. 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.439 And I think the thing about him that's really cool 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.440 is that that catch rate. Sometimes it doesn't show up 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.480 with guys with him, it shows up like he's taking 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.720 big hits, he's being physical over the middle of field. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.600 And again, a guy that five floor but really excited 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.480 about where his ceiling could be, especially with a staff 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:36.280 that's focused on developing talent like his. So now so 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.240 we've all we've talked about those guys already, so we 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.600 kind of breeze through them. If you want more detailed analysis, 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.679 make sure you go check out the last two podcasts 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.640 where we kind of recap Day one and Day two. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.560 But now we're into guys we haven't talked about. So 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:51.480 these are the fifth and seventh round selections for the team, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.920 in addition to the UDFA the rookie udfas. 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.480 So we're gonna start with it just neither drafted guys first, 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:58.240 drafted guys first. 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.360 We're new three, so obviously that's Shortan m, Dominique Campton, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:07.120 and Javonte Jean Baptiste from Notre Dame. So Jordan McGee, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:11.920 linebacker from Temple to me is I'm very excited about him. 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.600 And the reason I'm very excited about him, and I'm 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.439 not just saying that because he's now a commander, but 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.720 I was excited about him before. He's a guy that's 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.480 very instinctive. He's fast the football. He ran a four 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.280 to five two at the combine. He's got thirty two 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.800 inch arms, he's sixty three, he's two twenty five, so 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.319 kind of built like a safety, runs downhill. Physical to 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.520 the football reminds me of like Malcolm Smith He played 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.280 linebacker at USC for a while, played for Cleveland Browns, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.520 played for San Francisco. A little undersize, but tremendously instinctive 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.600 to the football, understands his reads really well, and maybe 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.280 the most important part of his game is he has 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.880 a good sense for reading the quarterback and identifying his 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.560 coverage responsibilities, which is something that like, you know, we 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.960 talked about Jeremiah Trotter junior, we talked about some of 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.440 these other linebacker prospects that Eichenberg from Ohio State. I 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.360 never saw that from them, you know, and to see 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.480 because to me, like the way the position is transitioning 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.680 is you need to have guys that are excellent coverage 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.960 players and really decisive to run fits. And I think 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.200 he does both of those things really really well. And 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.000 I think his floor right now, he's probably going to 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.319 be a rotational special teams type of guy to start, 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.280 But the ceiling because of those traits reminds me a 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.040 lot of like and they're not the same player. I'm 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:28.960 just gonna say this right now, They're not the same player, 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.679 but in terms of fitting kind of archetypal molds, like 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:34.599 Fred Warner is kind of what I look at like 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.800 he played star kind of safety, highbred linebacker in college. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.360 So the coverage ability translates, the run and hit ability translates, 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.760 and I see a lot of those similarities in terms 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.520 of a guy that can cover and a guy that 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.079 can be sideline a sideline but also isn't afraid to 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:48.360 get down. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:48.559 Hell. 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.760 Again, not a perfect prospect gets chewed up a little 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.000 bit by bigger offensive linemen. You see him get a 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.920 race a little bit, but when he sees it and 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.480 he can run, he's quick, he's decisive, which is I 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.400 think is a guy that I think is going to 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:02.960 project to something more as you move forward. 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.840 Let me ask you a question about him. Sure, when 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.880 you say undersized linebacker, the first thing that comes to 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.080 mind as a Washington fan is, well, London Fletcher was undersized. 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.040 So how much does being undersized at the linebacker position 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.000 actually matter when you have those instinctual tendencies like what 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:22.920 you're talking about. And I'm not saying he's going to 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.319 be London Fletched, Oh right, but London Fletcher went undrafted. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.840 It was probably because of his size, right, So like, 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.520 what at some point with linebacker, where do you go? 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:37.480 Okay, it's definitely becoming, in my opinion, around the league, 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.720 a little bit less important. It'd be like prototypical size. 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.679 I think, you know, like because like if you look 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.679 around the league, everyone's throwing the football. You're in sub 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.280 packages all the time, sub meaning you're in you know, 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.960 three wide receivers, a tight end in the back, more offensively, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.640 and so you're throwing the football more. You're in nickel 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.680 sixty percent of the time. Nickel offenses don't run the 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.160 football as much. So it really becomes down to like 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.040 your coverage ability, and so I don't think it's as important, 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.840 especially if you're kind of playing like a one gap defense, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.800 which Dan has always played. That's always been a part 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.240 of Dan's philosophy, is a one gap defense. You have 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.400 one gap, get there. It limits your ability to kind 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.120 of have to two gap and read and fight with 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.880 offensive lineman. So it's not as important. But I do 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.360 think the thing with him is his weight is a 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.640 little bit you know down it's two twenty five to 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.800 twenty two something like that, and it just makes it 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.400 harder when you're dealing with like bigger offensive linemen. You know, 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.480 like you just like fighting them off, and so like 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.200 when you watch NFL games and you see these guys 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.560 that are kind of like these. I think Dallas is 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:40.800 a great example. You know, they kind of I forget 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.760 where the kid was from, but he was basically a 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.960 big safety that they moved to linebacker. Great ball instincts, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.000 could run to the football and covered up, but when 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.320 he had to defeat blocks, that that skill set wasn't 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.000 there for him. Now, I think he can develop that 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.920 skill set. I'm talking about the kid from Dallas now, 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.280 but I think McGee is a little bit better in 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.160 that area. But that's something that I definitely think he 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.960 needs to work on about London Fletcher. London Fletcher was 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.960 a was a true unicorn in that way. You know, 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.680 he's five ten, five eleven whatever he is, but he's 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.520 two thirty five to forty. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:11.600 He is a fire hydrot. 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.320 Yeah, and he runs a four to four like he's 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.840 he's he's unique, and he had a very and he 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.680 understood what he did well and he Underson had to 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:24.000 defeat blocks, and again, I think McGee shows a little 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.480 bit of that, but he's going to have to get 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:26.960 better at it. But I think the thing that gets 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:28.560 you excited is the coverage ability. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.680 McGhee had to career a career best PFF grade of 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.240 eighty seven point two in twenty twenty three, which means 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.720 he's getting better as he goes along, and that seems 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.040 to be a theme of some of these guys that 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.920 are drafted or brought in here as rookies. Another one 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.200 is Dominique Campton, the safety from Washington. He had career 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.560 highs in ball production in twenty twenty three. He had 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.880 seven pass breakups, two interceptions. So guys that are getting 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.480 better throughout college and they hope that that continues here. 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.120 So let's talk about Dominique Campton. 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.800 Yeah, I mean he led the team into last year, 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.400 the Washington Huskies, and he's a guy that is I 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.680 think he's six to two, he's two fifteen. He's got 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.200 thirty three and a quarter thirty three and a half 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:10.000 inch arms, so. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.160 A big guy. He's a big player. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:13.840 It kind of looks like a spider out there running 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.920 around in the secondary. Plays with a physical mentality, plays 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.800 with great energy. He played corner when he first came 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.640 into UW. He's been there for six years. She's been 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.520 there for a long time. He's a COVID baby, right, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.920 and he has some nice coverage ability, but gets a 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.760 little bit handsy at times. But I man, I after 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.920 watching his film again, I rewatched some of the stuff 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:38.000 that was online last night and the night before. He's 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.360 to me, he's like a dark horse to make the roster. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.280 Like he's just got a very unique skill set. He 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.920 can kind of play that safety linebacker Buffalo Nickel, highbred 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.000 type role, which is kind of sweeping the NFL. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.240 Yeah, I think in an interview Adam Peters called it 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.560 the star position. Yeah, right, you're gonna call it here. 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:59.160 Yeah, So that star spot for me again, he's the energy, 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.680 the acumen, the experience that he's got. I think he'll 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.520 probably kind of fit in ats the special teams guy 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.240 to start, But I don't know, Like when I watch 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.600 this film, I like, man, this guy the projection for 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.680 him because there's times when you watch him and you're 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.920 kind of like, man, he's a little out of position. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.919 He's playing post safety, he's playing a quarter safety. But 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.159 when he's down near the line of scrimmage, I think 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.760 you see a really dynamic playmaker. And so I think 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.080 Dan and this staff understands like what guys do well 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.399 like that. That's been Dan's m since I knew him 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.359 in Atlanta, Like, what do you do? Well, let's have 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.320 you do that. And I think we're not going to 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:34.840 have him play in the post. We're gonna have him 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.359 played near the line of scrimmage where he can be 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.080 aggressive and downhill and give him clear rules because I 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:40.440 do think he can cover. I think he can match 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:44.120 up with tight ends. Arm link is definitely there. But yeah, man, 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.160 he's a guy to me, like, if you're a fan 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.000 at home, circle that name to kind of watch and 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.840 keep an eye on in training camp because I think 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.239 there's a really easy path for his physicality and for 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.320 his skill set. Again, a really nice athlete run a 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.399 four or five at the combine. He had like a 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:03.040 thirty nine in vertical jump, so twitched up, explosive, long, physical, 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:05.960 Those guys tend to kind of find a role quicker 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.240 than other guys in my opinion. 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:12.240 Yeah, the next guy the seventh round Javante Jean Baptistete, 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.200 the defensive end from Notre Dame by way of Ohio State. 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:15.560 Correct. 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.800 Yeah, And so when you're getting into the seventh round, 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.600 right and you're taking guys around here, I think you're 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.760 looking for some things like this. He was in the 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.560 ninetieth percentile. In broad jump, he had a ten foot 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:32.679 five broad jump. That's pretty darn good explosive. Reportedly, he 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.440 hit twenty miles per hour on the GPS in a game. 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.879 That's good year pretty fast. And he has an eighty 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.240 five point four PFF run defense grave So for an 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.160 end who does get pressures, he had thirty eight pressures 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.840 last season. He is a good run stopper for an end, 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.000 and so I guess those are the traits that you're 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:53.600 looking for in like the seventh round. 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.200 Right, I think he had a top five, top five 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:58.680 or top seven forty yard dash. The combined round a 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.359 four to sixty six. So he's six ' five, he's 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.199 two thirty five. So not like the biggest guy in 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:08.439 the world. He should He should be based on his 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:12.000 athletic measurables, like more productive than he is. And that's 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.760 not like a knock on him, like, but like when 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.439 you when he walks into a building, you're like, that 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.159 guy should be an amazing pass rusher. And when you 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.639 watch him, he'll show you something you're like, oh, dang, 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.200 like that, look at this dude run, look at this move, 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.520 and then he'll go through about a ten play sequence 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:27.680 where he's just kind of out there. 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:28.439 Not that he's not. 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.000 He plays hard, but he just looks a little unsure 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:32.879 certain about what his plan is on a down to 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:33.760 down basis. 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.520 Right, So do coaches look at that and go weaken? 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:37.080 I think so. I think so. 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.240 And again, like in terms of guys that I again like, 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.480 I think it was like a as Dan guys. Obviously, 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.320 the least three guys to me are like Dan guys, 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:49.239 Jordan McGee, Dominic Campton, John Baptist, Because Jean Baptiste, if 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.399 you get him with a good D line coach and 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:55.359 you say, hey, man, do like these four things really well? 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.399 As a pass rusher, he could become a guy that 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.720 makes the roster and his productive. You know, he's a 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:02.480 seventh round pick. I'm not saying he's going to change 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.240 the world here, but I think he's a guy that 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:08.679 could be very impactful in that regard. And I like 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.760 the selection because I always get mad when in the 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:15.200 seventh round you take a guy that has no opportunity 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.120 to ever play football for your team. You're like, oh, 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.800 his ceiling is a special teams guy, or his ceiling 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.439 is the third linebacker on goal line it's like I 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.280 get it, but like, let's take someone that is going 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.199 to be a good football player, like kind of at 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.479 a base you mentioned the run defense grade. That's always 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:34.040 a great metric for like just solid production at the 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.600 NFL level, Like if you can stop the run, you 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:36.560 can play footba. 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:36.920 At the NFL level. 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:38.879 Yeah, but maybe he could be something more with that 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.560 athletic frame, that kind of wiry length and the speed 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:43.119 that he's shown. 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.040 So all right, so that's the draft. 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.040 That's the draft, all right, so real quickly, let's. 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.320 Recap the draft with this with this kind of like 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.680 picture for it. All right, team needs before the draft, Yeah, 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:59.360 all right, quarterback, defensive end, offensive tackle, defensive backs, linebacker, 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.359 wide receiver. Guess what, every single one of those were filled. 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:06.280 But we had something happen that it doesn't feel like 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.679 happened here in a while. And that's we drafted the 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.679 quote unquote best player available. So what a great job 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:19.320 of getting best player available while filling team needs simultaneously. 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.080 And something I noticed when I was putting together this list, 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:26.520 all right, guys like Johnny Newton, Ben Sinat, Brandon Coleman, 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:30.720 Luke McCaffrey, these guys are going Jordan McGee. These guys 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:34.040 are going to play behind some free agents and some 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:38.080 veterans that were already here that are good, solid pros. 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.000 I mean, so you're filling a team need and you're 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:43.359 putting them in a position where they don't have to 0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.479 be stars right away, outside of maybe Jaden Daniels, but 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.720 they can learn, they can grow, they can figure out 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.240 what it means to be a pro here and get 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.640 coached up. And then like, you got talent right there. 0:21:57.640 --> 0:21:59.280 Behind these guys. 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:02.440 True, almost for the entire draft class, right, like when 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.160 you look at obviously everybody outside of Jayden and Daniels, 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:08.240 but Gerson, you know, has Alan and Payne, right, you 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:10.920 got Mike Sanders. Still, we talked about the defensive back group, 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.719 Benson and he's got zach Ertz, Brandon Coleman. 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:15.640 I think bringing in Corney's. 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.200 Lucas bringing him back, that's a big deal, right, Luke McCaffrey. 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:22.240 Obviously the receiver room, Jordan McGee, with the linebackers, Warner 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:26.760 Haven't or not Warner Wagner and yeah, and then Dominie Campton, 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:28.600 who is like, to me, like a cookie cutter mold 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.480 of Jeremy Chin, Like Jeremy Chin almost won Defensive Rookie 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.760 of the Year, like talk about a great model for him. 0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:36.040 And then John Baptiste is the seventh round pick, will 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.359 kind of mix into that defensive line room. But I 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:40.600 think it's a really smart philosophy to get leaders at 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.960 these positions. And you know, a lot of these older 0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:45.439 veterans are on one year contracts, so you know, let's say, 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:47.080 for example, Jeremy Chin, well, you know, I think he's 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:48.720 going to have a great career here and they're going 0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:50.280 to sign him to an extension hopefully, but if it 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.880 doesn't work out, hypothetically, you've got a guy in Dominie 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.560 Campton who has sat for a year as a special 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:58.560 teams guy with tremendous athletic upside that has learned in 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:01.560 the defense and could potentially kind of make an impact. 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.040 So I think it's a really good philosophy. Great job 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:05.520 by Adam Peters. And again, the other thing I want 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:09.240 to point out is they're all captains, they're all leaders, 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.600 they all have high floors, they're all self starters, and 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.960 when you're drafting players, that's one thing that I think 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:18.200 can't be can't be overvalued, is like, do are they 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:21.040 motivated to get better, and we talked about the improvement 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:22.879 that they've all shown over the course of their career. 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:25.639 Kind of the poster chitle that being Jane Daniels, but 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:27.639 really excited for this draft class. 0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:29.920 Love that it's the vision is clear. 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.360 They've identified pieces, they brought in talent to peeps pieces, 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:34.600 and I can't. 0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:35.920 Wait to see how they fit in here with the commanders. 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.320 Let's talk about the Logan Paulsons of the world and 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:41.040 the London Pitchers, just the hidden gems in there, the 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.639 undrafted free agents. We watched some of these guys in 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.280 film leaning up. Yeah, so yeah, let's we're gonna go 0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.320 down the list. I'm going to give like a couple 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:52.240 of stats about them, just so you understand it yield 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:54.320 a little bit about them. We don't have to spend 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:57.880 too much time on everybody here. We will, But who's 0:23:57.920 --> 0:23:59.919 someone that stands out right away that you're like, oh, 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.800 this is this is a great grab surprise you didn't 0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:04.440 get drafted. Glad he's here. 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:06.760 Well, there's a couple guys, but I'm gonna start with 0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.159 two guys to start, and so the first guy is 0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:15.400 I don't know how to say his name shingozier A Nusium. 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.720 I love it from Colorado State. At the corner he's 0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:21.080 six ' to one. He ran a four three nine 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:22.800 at his protae is that it's on there four three 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:23.320 nine yep. 0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:26.280 Yeah, that was eight amongst the corners at the combine. 0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:31.760 Yeah, and very explosive, very long arms. Has really solid 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:36.440 movement skills. Just wonder about his consistent compete, you know 0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:38.480 what I'm saying, Like he's playing hard, but like there's 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:40.800 times where it's like, hey, go get that tackle, go 0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:42.359 fit that run, like you know what I'm saying. But 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.320 in terms of a coverage guy, like talk about an 0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:48.199 incredibly high ceiling, like it's all there for you. Like 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:51.920 the movement skills, the ball skills. I when I saw 0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:53.679 it when I started watching film with him, because I 0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.000 didn't he wasn't on my list before I started, But 0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:58.040 when I started watching film, I was like, Oh, this 0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.520 guy can play some ball. Yeah, and so he probably 0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:03.520 starts as a again, she probably starts as a special 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:04.080 teams guy. 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.000 Whatever. But in terms of remember we. 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:09.160 Talked about it with Jean Baptista, guy that could project 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:14.080 something more like the body is there, Yeah, the athleticism 0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:16.480 is there. The instincts are there, it's just about making 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:18.680 sure that's all going in the right direction all the time. 0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:21.120 Yeah, six foot one, two hundred pounds, Like you said, 0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:25.320 seven percent body fat, thirty seven point five introvertical, ten 0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:28.200 foot two broad jump. He's explosive, A four three nine 0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:31.520 forty Like you said, I mean that's Fred Smoot wishes. 0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:32.360 Yeah, he wishes. 0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:36.159 And he was part of the All Mountain West first 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:39.600 team for PFF grades. Right, So he's a baller, he's 0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:43.200 a player. And speaking of guys who are ballers and players, 0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.119 I'm gonna go to the next guy on this list 0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:46.520 is Sam Hart. 0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:48.000 Can I just say my one other guy, My one 0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:50.160 other guy? I want to Yeah, guy, So two guys. 0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.480 He's s that's one obviously, and then the next guy 0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:55.400 for me is Noreel Pollard from Virginia Tech. And when 0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:58.760 you watch him, like if you come to practice during 0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.800 training camp, he is going to win every single pass 0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:03.879 rush one on one. Yeah, Like, there's no doubt in 0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:07.119 my defensive tackle. Defensive tackle from Virginia Tech. He's undersized, 0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:08.960 he's like I think I saw something that said he 0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:11.359 was six foot six foot like two to eighty. So 0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:14.040 talk about like outlier size. He ran a four to 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.600 seven nine at his pro DA, very explosive. They had 0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:20.840 a thirty five inch vertical jump, but has great feel 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:26.200 for like turning pads quick, quick, lightning, quick, get off. 0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.560 Like you when you think about the Dallas defense of 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:31.680 the last couple of years, like this is the type 0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:34.040 of guy that fits perfectly in there. And he's probably 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.080 just gonna be a situational pass rusher. But when you 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:40.639 have a guy that can win pass rush reps like this, yeah, consistently, 0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:43.360 it's like keep him in the program. So he might 0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:45.800 just be a practice squad guy, but he's someone that 0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:47.560 if you come to practice, you watch one on one 0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.240 and you'll be like, who the heck is that guy? 0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:50.879 Because he's gonna win all of them? You know what 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:52.520 I'm saying, Like, that's just the type of guy he is. 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:54.880 So to two names that kind of just jump out 0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:57.879 to me as like, hey, maybe maybe can make some waves. 0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:00.560 Yeah, to go in what you're saying there stats to 0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:02.240 back it up right, all right? So he was he 0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:05.480 had an eighty eight pass rush grade that's accordy and 0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:08.320 pff that's third Yeah, and better than Johnny Newton. 0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.720 He's got some he's got, Like we talked about juice. Yeah, 0:27:11.760 --> 0:27:13.400 he's got the juice. 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:16.800 He has a thirty total pressures. That's a sixteen point 0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:20.560 five percent win rate, fourth best in his class. True 0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:21.800 in true pass sets. 0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:24.000 Of everybody, of everybody, Oh my god, of. 0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:27.800 True pass sets. And that means that this is clearly 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:33.320 a pass right. It's not a RPO. It's not play 0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:36.960 action quarterbacks definitely throwing this ball a ninety point four 0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:41.040 grade and with twenty pressures, that's tied with Byron Murphy. 0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:42.720 The first defensive tackle it went off the board. 0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:44.480 So get this. I watched the Virginia game. 0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:46.280 Yeah, and I had to like scrub it because he's 0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.080 not on every play because but there was a sequence 0:27:49.080 --> 0:27:51.400 where it was like ten consecutive pass plays and he 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:54.280 was like, oh that was a pressure. It was like 0:27:54.760 --> 0:27:57.360 the guy I definitively beat the guard. And I don't 0:27:57.359 --> 0:27:59.400 know who that guard is. He might just be a guy, 0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:04.399 you know, other occupation type guy. But when you can 0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:07.200 rush the passer, yeah, let's see if it works. 0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:09.600 And it's a size that's what That's what had him 0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:12.600 not get drafted. But guess what, he's a team captain. Yeah, right, 0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:16.080 fitting that molding it, and I think it's what you're 0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:18.320 talking to. It feels like this is like, well, he's 0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:22.000 an undersized guy, but he wins like this, So maybe 0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:23.000 it's that attitude. 0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:25.280 Yea, Yeah, find a role for him. 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:30.280 And when you look at the philosophy of Dan in Seattle, 0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:35.480 in Dallas, in Atlanta, he understands probably better than I mean, 0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:37.600 at least better than any of the defense coach dropping 0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:41.280 with the importance of creating pressure to insulate coverage. Yeah, 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:43.520 and you do that by finding guys who can rush 0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:45.400 the passer. And so to get this guy's UDFA. And 0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:47.960 again he's undersized, there's lots of issues. He's got thirty 0:28:47.960 --> 0:28:51.400 two inch arms, not great length. But man, if that 0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:53.400 even pops up a little bit and you get and 0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:54.960 you're able to get some pressures out of this guy 0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:57.040 over the course of the year, that's a win, you admit, 0:28:57.080 --> 0:29:00.480 because it's not a big investment. It's a UDIFA. Just 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:01.720 you made a phone call, Hey, you want to come 0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:03.720 be a commander. He's like yeah, and it's like cool, 0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:05.280 come on up, let's do it. So I think that's 0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:07.000 those are those are two names I think are interesting. 0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:10.040 All right, here goes my segue again, Sam harton the 0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:13.600 qv from Notre Dame. So uh, probably the most handsome 0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:14.680 guy of the draft. 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.800 I mean, if you're that's a ten out of ten. 0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:19.080 I'm going to tell you a quick little story. So 0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:23.480 my wife's best friend went to Notre Dame. Okay, so 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.560 big Notre Dame fan knows who Sam Hartman is. Definitely 0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:29.040 knows who Sam Hartman is. So my wife texts me 0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:32.400 when we the we signed him. Here he goes, can 0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:35.440 I bring my friend to meet Sam Hartman? I went 0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:39.640 absolutely not, No, I will bring your friends to meet 0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:41.720 Sam Hartin. You can stay at. 0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.479 Home, they'll tell you. So my wife had similar thing. 0:29:44.560 --> 0:29:46.040 So we were talking about we were at a friend's 0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:48.360 house and they're like, oh, they drafted this quarterback, Sam Hartman. 0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:50.960 My friend is my wife's friend is a huge Commanders 0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:54.400 FANFA and she was like, who's this guy? And I 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.080 was like, he's maybe the most handsome man on her 0:29:56.120 --> 0:29:58.920 because she's like no, and she got her phone out, 0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:01.600 got really quiet and was like, oh my I was like. 0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.920 I will be etched in my brain when he ran 0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:06.400 the fourty. 0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:09.040 Oh yeah, they get slow mo with. 0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:12.800 His hair and glad he's here. The reason I'm glad 0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:13.200 he's here. 0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:14.320 Not because he's hands. 0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:17.200 It's not because he's hands, because he can play football right. 0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:20.520 One hundred and thirty four touchdowns, that's first all time 0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:24.000 in the ACC. Fifteen thousand, six hundred and fifty six yards, 0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.680 that's second all time for the ACC. One hundred and 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:29.720 one passing touchdown since twenty and twenty one, that is 0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:34.000 first among all quarterbacks and another team captain. This guy 0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:35.360 just gets it done. 0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:35.920 Ball. 0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:40.240 Yeah, the one thing, the one thing, not a strong arm, no, 0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:45.959 comparatively at the combine, Joe Milton through the ball. They 0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:48.520 clocked it at seventy two miles an hour, sixty two, 0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:49.840 sixty two was it sixty two? 0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:51.520 Yeah, and then I think he was like fifty four. 0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:54.800 Yeah, exactly, Okay, sixty two and then yeah, McCarthy was 0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:57.720 right there with Milton, and yeah, Sam Hartman was. It 0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:00.880 was a little bit low, but accurate with the ball. 0:31:01.240 --> 0:31:05.200 The ball right, So like plays the position so like. 0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:08.080 I think there's a lot of conversation about his like 0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:11.560 limited athletic tools, you know, But the thing that comes 0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:14.400 that when you watch this film, like he gets how 0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:16.880 to play quarterback, understands what to. 0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:19.280 Do with his eyes, understand his reads, understands. 0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:22.360 The protections, and you know, Adam Peters has had a 0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.400 lot of success with Rock Party. I'm not saying this 0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:27.160 is Rock Party. I think Rock Party has a little 0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.240 bit more athletic juice, a little bit. 0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:30.680 More physical talent. 0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:34.000 But there is value to basically saying, like, you know 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:35.960 how to play the position the way it's supposed to 0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:40.760 be played. Maybe if things look good through the OTA 0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:43.280 training camp process, you're the third quarterback, you're the practice 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.560 squad guy, something like that. But having someone with that 0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:48.160 level of experience, the level of college production in the 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:49.680 building is ever a bad thing. 0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:53.960 Yeah, absolutely so, Hi IQ GUYI, Hi IQ guy. Hi 0:31:54.160 --> 0:31:56.560 you guys all right, Austin Jones are running back from US. 0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:59.600 Most people know Marshawn Lloyd from US. Yeah, this was 0:31:59.640 --> 0:32:02.760 the other that was there. He had threes out three, 0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:05.320 two hundred and thirty eight total yards in his career 0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:09.800 with twenty seven touchdowns. In twenty twenty two. He had 0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:13.440 seven and one one hundred and five rushing yards, nine 0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:16.840 hundred and seventy two receiving yards I put, passing yards 0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:20.600 I met receiving yards, and six yards per touch average, 0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:22.480 So pretty productive. 0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:22.760 Pretty productive. 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:24.640 So Austin, I'm gonna put the two running backs in 0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:27.440 the same category because they are really similar to me. 0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:31.360 So Austin Jones and Michael Wiley from Arizona running back 0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:34.880 from Arizona, and so basically when you watch them as runners, 0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:37.920 they're fine. You know, there's nothing to write home about. 0:32:37.920 --> 0:32:40.800 Where they kind of excel is catching the football. Yeah, 0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:43.480 and they're not crazy athletic. They're not you know, running 0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:46.280 four twos or four threes anything like that, but they're 0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:48.520 very efficient catching the ball. So I do think they 0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:50.920 kind of identified a skill set. They said, these guys 0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:54.440 can pass, protect and catch the ball well and Wiley specifically, 0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:54.880 they kind. 0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:56.080 Of lined them up all over the formation. 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.440 He did a lot of his damage, you know, catching 0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:01.640 yards after catch screens, things like that. So you know, 0:33:01.640 --> 0:33:04.120 obviously that running back room is going to be very tight, 0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:06.920 very competitive. You know, McNichols is a very good player. 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:10.800 They're kind of in that same mold Chris Rodriguez, b 0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:15.520 Rob and obviously Austin Eckler kind of the archetypical third 0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:17.480 down back in the NFL. But they are very much 0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:21.600 third down runners, yeah, because they're not on first, second down, 0:33:21.600 --> 0:33:23.880 they're just they're okay. Like, there's certain guys you watch me, 0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:26.520 Oh look, this guy's got like Marshall Lloyd's a great example. 0:33:26.560 --> 0:33:29.080 He's got some creative ability. He can break tackles, he 0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:31.280 can do all these things. They're not really in that bucket. 0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.680 Their value is pass catchers and in pass protection. 0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:37.240 So with Wiley, the running back from Arizona, he had 0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:40.280 forty nine games in his career, twenty eight touchdowns, and 0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:43.000 he scored on every sixteen point three touches. He had 0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:46.640 a nose for the end zone. Another undrafted free agent 0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:49.200 running back that is here that has a nose for 0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:51.920 the end zone is Austin X. Yes, that's right, right, 0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:55.200 So what a great Like we were talking about earlier 0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:59.160 young guys coming in with veterans that Peters and Quinne 0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:02.479 brought in. What a great guy to have leading your 0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:04.640 running back room. Now in Eckler, with these young guys 0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:07.640 coming in undrafted, he's been through it. He knows how 0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:09.919 to get it done. He knows how to go through 0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:13.319 that process of being undrafted running back. And like, there's 0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:15.200 some guys here that have I don't want to say 0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:19.520 they're similar to Austin Eckler, but they have a nose 0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:21.880 for the end zone, right, They find a way to 0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:25.360 make plays to get yards and it's like got something 0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:25.719 here made. 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:25.960 Yeah. 0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:28.440 And Austin Eckler was a freak. Yeah. 0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:30.320 Physically you know, he was like a six hundred pounds 0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:33.520 backsquad guy, very fast, very explosive. These guys aren't that 0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:37.439 same athletes, you know, that same physicality, but in terms 0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:39.239 of catching the ball and making a career doing that, 0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:40.960 like talk about a great role model. A guy that 0:34:41.000 --> 0:34:43.000 started his career doing that, I was able to kind 0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:44.120 of develop into something more. 0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.040 There's one more running back one here, is there? 0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:47.960 You want to talk about him? Oh? 0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:49.840 Well, so yeah, we can tell. So I've actually going 0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:51.399 to include him in the other group. Okay, so we're 0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:52.839 the next The next we're going to do is we're 0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:57.920 going to do Ben Nickel wide receiver, quarterback slash quarterback 0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:00.600 from Iowa State. We're going to do Tyler oh safety 0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:05.320 from Texas Tech. And we're gonna do Coolson Yankov running 0:35:05.360 --> 0:35:07.560 back for UCLA. And the reason we're gonna put those 0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:09.920 guys in all and also we could put the receiver 0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:11.320 from Georgia in here if you want to, but I 0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:12.319 think he's going to be his own thing. 0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:13.200 Okay, we'll do him. 0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:19.279 But those three guys to me are really interesting. So 0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:21.320 let's start with Ben Nickel from I always say, basically, 0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:24.760 a non scholarship player does not play any position, defense 0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:30.280 or offense. He is a absolute lunatic. Lunatic on special teams, yes, 0:35:30.360 --> 0:35:33.000 like that is his thing. Like he is a missile 0:35:33.080 --> 0:35:35.920 on covering kicks. He's going to play gunner, He's going 0:35:36.000 --> 0:35:38.400 to play vice, He's going to do all of that stuff. 0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:40.439 And so like when I think when I see this guy, 0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:44.000 not the same athlete, but I think of like Matthew 0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.480 Slater for New England, like didn't really have a position 0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:49.080 in college. I played with him actually at UCLA, so 0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:49.960 played corner. 0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:50.120 A little bit. 0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:52.440 They're like, oh, you're not going to for corner, played receiver, uh, 0:35:52.560 --> 0:35:55.799 but was an excellent special teams guy. And there is 0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:57.800 value there. You know what I mean is Oo's the 0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:00.520 new special teams coordinator. I think he sees the value 0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.560 of a guy who's tough, competitive, made his own way, 0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:06.440 earned a scholarship. We'll figure out what he whether he's 0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:10.200 a receiver or corner at the next level, but teams teams, teams, teams, 0:36:10.200 --> 0:36:11.680 teams all day for him. 0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:14.280 And we know how important teams is here with guys 0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:18.000 like all pro Revo Jeremy comes here. So but yes, 0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:22.160 he was a walk one, earned the scholarship, a co captain. 0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:24.560 Really I didn't know that, yep, and a co captain. 0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:27.239 So like, like you said, a guy that like may 0:36:27.280 --> 0:36:32.480 not be the most athletically traded guy, but just like 0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:34.600 a maniac earns you respect. 0:36:34.640 --> 0:36:37.520 Maniac is a good way to explain it. Like it'll 0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:39.680 be interesting to see how he like where he kind 0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:42.760 of fits in. But yeah, an absolute lunatic on teams. 0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:48.400 Next guy Tyler Owens. He is a physical freak. He's 0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:52.280 six two fifteen. He's got thirty three in a quarter, 0:36:52.520 --> 0:36:56.040 like very similar to Dominic Campton. He broke the combine 0:36:56.120 --> 0:37:00.000 record for broad jumps, so maybe the most explosive different 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:01.120 and than fastest. 0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:02.399 Well foot two broad jump. 0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:04.680 It's maybe the most explosive dude in the history of 0:37:04.719 --> 0:37:07.479 the combine. I think he had forty one inch vertical right. 0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:09.120 That was first among the all safety. 0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:12.719 He is big, he's explosive, like when you see him 0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:15.120 hit people, he injects people from the screen. You see 0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:17.520 the explosive in this show up. The problem with him 0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:22.279 is on defense, not overly instinctive. He transferred from Texas. 0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:26.160 He's transferred from Texas to Texas Tech, never really got 0:37:26.160 --> 0:37:30.160 on the field, but plays special teams like an absolute 0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:32.520 insane person, you know what I'm saying. So like a 0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:39.200 guy that is frustrating because you say to yourself you athletically, physically, 0:37:39.719 --> 0:37:42.200 you are what you draw up to play that star 0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:44.200 safety position near the line of scrimmage. And here's a 0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:46.320 guy that I also think kind of in that Dominie 0:37:46.320 --> 0:37:49.319 Campton role right where it's like you were playing post 0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:51.840 safety in college. That's not your bag. Let's get you 0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:53.640 near the line of scrimmagers that you're covering tight ends. 0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:55.520 Let's get you in man coverage. But in terms of 0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:57.400 a guy that's going to have an impact right now, 0:37:57.880 --> 0:38:01.279 like it'll be on teams, like absolutely lighting people up, 0:38:01.320 --> 0:38:03.880 being the first one down on kicks. Like they definitely 0:38:03.880 --> 0:38:05.759 made it a point of emphasis to say you're a 0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:08.279 freak athlete. We'll figure out we're going to do with you. Again, 0:38:08.480 --> 0:38:10.200 I hope that they're able to kind of say, hey, 0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:12.719 you're at a position here, let's move you towards at 0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:14.719 line of scrimmage. But the reason they're all these guys 0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:18.400 are clustered together, including Coolston Yankov running back from UCLA 0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:22.680 Teams guys teams, teams, teams, teams, teams. Yankov played quarterback 0:38:23.080 --> 0:38:26.239 at udub transfer to UCLA. They moved into a running back, 0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:27.880 they moved to a receiver. He played a little bit 0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:31.120 of linebacker. He's just an athlete that hasn't been able 0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:32.800 to find like a true identity yet. 0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:34.960 But I think he led the. 0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.640 Team in special teams tackles like led So every game 0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:39.680 he was getting three to four special teams tackles. So 0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:42.840 dude is an absolute maniac. And also I think you 0:38:42.920 --> 0:38:44.640 have this on here. Return kicks. 0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:46.720 Yeah yeah, yep, return kicks. 0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:48.680 So that's why those guys are all kind of closer together. 0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:52.000 Yeah, And he had sixteen kick returns for three hundred 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.120 and thirty four yards, which is pretty darn good. And 0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:56.640 he was fifth in the Pac twelve and return yards, 0:38:56.880 --> 0:39:01.040 but he received less opportunities and the guys ahead of him, 0:39:01.040 --> 0:39:03.360 so very productive as far as kick. 0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:05.759 And also big guy. He's six ' four six four 0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:08.520 and a half to twenty five two thirty. I think 0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:10.359 he ran like a sub four or five at his PROTA. 0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:12.000 I haven't been able to confirm that because the PRODA 0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:15.919 numbers aren't coming out. But talk about big, explosive guy 0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:18.719 that made his value on teams, and it's kind of 0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:20.399 like we'll figure out what role to be. So those 0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:23.759 three guys, Ben Nickel, Tyler Owens circle that name too. 0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:28.040 Man just that athletic profile and that size is so unique, 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:29.560 is so unique. 0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:31.799 That like, as long as he's not totally an apt 0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:33.840 to playing safety, they'll find a way to keep him around. 0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:36.960 And then Colson niekov special teams ace with again the 0:39:37.000 --> 0:39:38.240 guy that kind of fits this. 0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:42.080 Positionless football, Kyle Yuschek. Where do we find value for 0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:42.640 you on the field. 0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.440 Let's talk about AJ Woods, a cornerback from pitt He 0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:48.719 went to u A High school in Germantown, Maryland, the 0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:52.239 same high school he went to. Yeah local kid, so 0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:54.279 hoping the best for him. In his career, he had 0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:57.200 one hundred and five tackles, two sacks, four interceptions, twenty 0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:01.640 nine pass defense and one for sun. What do you 0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:02.239 know about A J. 0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:03.600 Woods? I don't really know that much about him. I 0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:04.799 was able to find any film on him. 0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:06.840 Honestly, you know, when you're kind of scouring the internet, 0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:08.360 and I think that's the hard thing about some of 0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:11.400 these guys. So I put him aj Woods with our 0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:14.959 tackle buddy, David. I want to give that a shot. 0:40:15.040 --> 0:40:18.919 David will Goog from Toledo obviously with google's a former 0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:21.680 basketball player. Share expecting high end upside, but he's transferred 0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:25.040 schools multiple times. He's six ' five three ten three 0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:27.839 three oh five, so it's like, I. 0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:29.719 Don't know how he moves. I don't know anything about him. 0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:32.280 Those guys are the same bucket for me, not because 0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:34.480 I think they're bad players. I just wasn't able to 0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:37.040 find anything film related on either one of them. 0:40:37.160 --> 0:40:42.800 I mean, how good are NFL scouts that they're finding 0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:45.839 these guys who could be diamonds in the rough. I mean, 0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:49.399 for with Goog, you started all fourteen games last year 0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:53.160 in twenty twenty three for Toledo on the line. That 0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:57.000 line ranked fourth in the nation in sacks allowed only 0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:59.719 zero point seventy nine sacks per game. That's pretty good. 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:04.360 That offense in the MAC was first in scoring, total offense, 0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:06.960 and pass efficiency, and they were eighth in the nation 0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:10.120 in rushing rushing offense. So he was a part of 0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:11.879 a good offensive line. 0:41:11.960 --> 0:41:15.520 Yeah, no, absolutely, and the athletic the basketball background with 0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:18.000 offensive lineman. I'm always really intrigued by that because you're 0:41:18.040 --> 0:41:22.040 looking for big, lean athletes and he's a big lean athlete. 0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:24.879 Just depends on, you know, how he's able to develop. Again, 0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:27.279 the transfer things is a little bit interesting, but yeah, uh, 0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:29.600 you know, scouts get paid and they get paid a 0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:31.080 lot of money, a lot more than we do. So 0:41:31.080 --> 0:41:32.799 hopefully they found the right guy and that leaves one 0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:35.520 more person on our list, right, Yes, and this is 0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:37.879 maybe my I had actually had a really high grade 0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:41.040 on him coming out this So what's his name? Marcus 0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:44.160 rosemy Jack saint YEP wide receiver from Georgia. 0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:45.880 I think he's six to two. Is that correct? 0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:46.680 I can look it up. 0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:48.040 Took it up. I think he's six to two, about 0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:48.560 two ten. 0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:51.840 And I loved his film, Like I'm always looking for 0:41:51.920 --> 0:41:55.399 guys that I think embody kind of the dirty work 0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:58.680 traits of a position, and he's a guy that definitely 0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:01.200 did that for me. He's rolling the block, willing to 0:42:01.200 --> 0:42:04.920 make tough contested catches. Not kind of the guy at Georgia. 0:42:05.040 --> 0:42:08.080 Obviously that's Lad mccognity, but he was a guy that 0:42:08.440 --> 0:42:10.879 definitely I just I really enjoyed watching his film. 0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:12.320 I think he had a medical issue. 0:42:12.400 --> 0:42:14.960 I think had an acl that they were people are 0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:16.880 a knee issue that people were concerned about, which is 0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:20.719 maybe why goes undrafted. But I love the player, love 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:23.640 the way he approaches the game, loved the like the 0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:28.279 yards after catchability, blocking on screens like probably again has 0:42:28.360 --> 0:42:32.040 special teams value, but I really enjoyed he was one 0:42:32.040 --> 0:42:34.280 of my one of my kind of dark horse receiver 0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:36.840 guys that it just like I just liked him, and 0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:38.040 so I'm really happy to see him here. 0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:42.040 Yeah he's six two one ninety five. So here's something 0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:44.759 that's I think pretty good about him. Yeah, for a 0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:47.799 wide receiver. You want to see this. He's had zero 0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:51.160 drop the passes since twenty twenty two. That's with eighty 0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:55.400 eight targets. Yeah, zero drop passes in his whole career. 0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:57.160 Only two drop passes. 0:42:57.239 --> 0:42:59.120 Yeah, dude catches ball, Yeah catch. 0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:01.160 You love to see that from a wide receiver. 0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:04.800 Shows up on tape. He does the receiver stuff well, 0:43:05.080 --> 0:43:10.319 runs good routes, physical blocking, makes tough catches. I thought 0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:12.160 he did find at the Senior Bowl, like he wasn't 0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:13.880 you know, the best wasn't the worst, kind of right 0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:15.480 in the middle there, and that's what you expect from him. 0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:17.839 A guy that's going to have a nice role on 0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:20.160 the team. But I love the way he approaches it. 0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:22.480 And I wonder if his medical was better, like if 0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:24.359 he's if he's drafted to a different team. 0:43:24.440 --> 0:43:27.839 So yeah, you can really see with this process how 0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:31.320 Peters and Quinn and the whole staff here are putting 0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:34.200 the pieces of the puzzle together, from free agency bringing 0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:36.200 in the veterans that they did at the positions that 0:43:36.200 --> 0:43:39.680 they did, to the draft to the undrafted free agents. 0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:43.719 There's going to be more free agency signings that come along. 0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:46.400 I'm sure like you can start to see this team 0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:49.560 get built and in the image that they said that 0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:51.319 they were going to do it absolutely what you have 0:43:51.400 --> 0:43:53.279 here with them is all these guys are guys that 0:43:53.800 --> 0:43:59.640 love football. They either have athletic traits or just the 0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:04.600 design correct to be better all the time always, and 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:08.520 in many cases both of those things. And like there 0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:11.560 is clearly a culture with what they're building here and 0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:14.400 I'm excited to see how this plays out on the field. 0:44:14.480 --> 0:44:17.520 This draft strategy that we haven't seen in Washington in 0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:18.120 a long time. 0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:21.239 Yeah, I think it's it's extremely exciting and it's you 0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:22.920 hit the nail on the head there. It's the type 0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:26.960 of guy they're bringing in, and I think that's that's 0:44:26.960 --> 0:44:29.719 pretty encouraging. They're all kind of wired the same way. 0:44:29.800 --> 0:44:32.040 So even though I haven't seen, you know, some of 0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:34.200 these undrafted for agent guys, I know that they're going 0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:36.360 to be kind of cut from the same cloth, of 0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:39.560 the same mold, because that's kind of what they've prioritized 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:42.160 throughout the process, which is always really exciting. But I 0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:43.920 think that's going to do it for today's show, for 0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:46.279 day Yeah, and let us know, right, let us know 0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:48.000 if you're interested in seeing more of these shows, the 0:44:48.000 --> 0:44:49.879 once a month thing, the updates and what you want 0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.000 to see in those shows, We really appreciate it. But 0:44:52.000 --> 0:44:53.399 that's going to do it for today, and I think 0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:59.880 that's it.
