I am your host, Travis Wingfield. 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.960 And on today's show, we're gonna go around the web 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.480 and the mock draft universe to see who has who 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.479 coming to South Florida for the Dolphins and the draft 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.199 now just over two weeks out. We'll take a look 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.400 at the reported draft visits, talk about those players. We'll 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.840 talk about Mike McDaniel's spot on Mike Silver's podcast, and 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:19.319 finish up with the NFL's global outreach expanding into Kenya 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.400 and the entire continent of Africa, with one of our 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.120 own players, Emmanuel Ogba, going over as a guest for 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.280 the program from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:36.960 Health Training Complex. This is the Drivetime podcast. Caroline gets 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.040 us going as she does daily and we are now 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.479 full go into draft season. Really, the draft season begins 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.320 in the summertime, right, but now just two and a 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.800 half weeks out or two days and some change even, 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.520 it's time to start finalizing those boards, stack your position 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.680 groups and needs and just get everything ready for more 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.280 than two hundred and fifty selections during the NFL's ual 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.880 selection meeting, a massive crop of undrafted players, and the 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.520 final major player acquisition period of the off season. We 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.440 know better though than to think that's just limited to 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.880 the draft. We get post June one acquisitions, training camp 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.200 moves and then of course cut down day after camp 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.880 is usually a pretty busy day for the roster, but 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:23.119 every year every team is allotted thirty player visits into 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.440 their building for that big moment for the draft, and 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.200 those visits can be utilized in a variety of reasonings, right, Like, 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.280 could a player you're dying to get into your program 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.920 be a reason you bring them in? That's would make 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.440 the most sense. Could it be part of a smoke screen? 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.120 And there's a million things in between. That's the beauty 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.160 of the draft, right. Everyone's got the hand they were 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.520 dealt and now they're trying to play it the best 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.640 they can. I can win a hand, I can win 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.320 a pot with aces, I can win a pot with 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.120 seven deuce off suit. It just depends on how you 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.799 play it. I think the gamesmanship at the top is 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.120 a little more intense, Like the Cardinals, who Adam Scheft 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.800 reported on Monday have fielded as many as six calls. 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.320 But even that is that part of the smoke screen 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.560 is that someone with a certain level of interest in 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.799 that information getting out there providing it For someone as 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.880 big of a name as Adam Schefter is what's the point? 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.680 What does it mean? You know, who's the Brian Windhorse? 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.600 Why would the Cardinals do that? So the Cardinals in 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.240 that third spot, to me, they are in the catbird 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.280 seat of this draft, much of the way the Dolphins 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.520 were in that same position back in twenty twenty one. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.840 Part of it is a luck of the draw for sure, 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.799 but you typically wind up with this formula to get 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.880 that ideal draft position, good quarterback class. You already have 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.160 your quarterback and your sandwiched by teams that have needs 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.760 at quarterbacks. So the quarterback kind of a big deal. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.840 But you know that if you're a football fan. In 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.320 our situation back in twenty twenty one, Drevor Lawrence was 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.960 billed as in John Elway Andrew Luck level prospects, so 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.040 that was always a given. Then the Jets had the 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.120 second pick and could have been Fields, it could have 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.840 been Lance, but it was Zach Wilson. Then you had Fields, 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.760 Lands and mac Jones as players who were rumored to 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.800 be worthy of that third overall pick for the Niners. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.520 After a trade up. There was a long period of 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.120 time when folks were convinced it was mac Jones, but 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.760 sure enough it was Trey Lance, so so much so 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.679 that Miami was able to extract some extra picks still Land, 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.240 Jalen Wattle, which in hindsight, aren't you glad that move happened, 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.040 and later use those picks in part to get players 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.840 like Tyreek Hill, Javon Holland, and Bradley Chubb not bad? Right? 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.440 Can the Cardinals do that now? Because with the Colts 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.000 picking fourth and Gardner Minshew go Coogs as their current 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.680 QB one, they're pretty clearly in the quarterback market. I mean, 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.400 unless you think Sam Ellingar is going to be a 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.159 superstar quarterback or has already showing you so much, or 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.760 Gardner Minshew is a guy that you build your program around, 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.760 you'd be surprised if it's not a quarterback in that spot. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.000 But that's how the draft b Sometimes they're surprises. Every 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.719 single time we get into this period of the year. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.920 Most people think it's going to be Shroud young one too. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.360 In some order to Caroline and Houston, the Panthers make 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.920 that move to find their franchise quarterback for Frank Reich, 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.640 no doubt about that. They're not going to go up 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.880 there and take an offensive tackle or Will Anderson, the 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.120 top pass rusher in this year's class. But I'm so 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.320 happy for Reich that he finally gets a young, really 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.760 good quarterback to groom and to develop, because he never 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.760 had that in Indianapolis, and it was just year after 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.880 year a veteran quarterback that didn't work out. Really Rivers did. 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.520 But after that not so much. Now. The Texans could 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.120 conceivably pass and come back later for someone like Will 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.120 Levis or maybe Hendon Hooker, but if they love one 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.360 of the top two quarterbacks in the draft, it's pretty 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.520 hard to imagine they would do that. Even still, that 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.000 would just push another quarterback into the third spot, one 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.560 of the top two quarterbacks, rather for the Cardinals to 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.360 move off of. So they have to find a way 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.920 to either get the most capital from a team who 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.839 wants to come up or stick and pick. I think 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.880 the value says make the trade. But that's what makes 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.560 the draft great, right, especially when you get trade activity 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.400 to the top. And that's what quarterbacks do for a 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.560 draft class. That's why last year's draft class to me, 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.240 not as much fun twenty twenty one and this year 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.400 much more fun. The poker game very fun. And that's 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.760 all a prelude into the Miami Dolphins draft visits. These 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.000 visits are akin going back to our theme to the 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.920 rounds of a poker game, before you turn your cards 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.600 up and reveal what everybody possesses. Do you have those aces? 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.400 Do you have that seven deuce? And those are the 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:28.760 most generic card combinations you can possibly have. For the 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.359 top level, and then the outhouse on the other end, 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:36.679 castle versus out house. But gamesmanship, reading of situations, predictive thinking. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.120 I mean, the former poker dealer in me has a 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.560 ry smile just talking about how much fun all that 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.200 is to execute. Even as a dealer, I would try 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.440 to predict people's hands based upon their actions. That's kind 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.040 of what NFL gms and decision makers have to do 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.080 for the next couple of weeks here. Over the course 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.480 of the draft. It's it's all hearsay and finding out 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.640 what's actually true and what does smoke. It's fun, man. 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:02.400 So it's a thirty visits who knows what they actually 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.360 mean outside of the people conducting the visits and the 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.680 draft prep process. And then there's the fact that there's 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.880 reported visits compared to confirmed visits, because we only know 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.960 about what's been reported so far and reported to be. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.040 Checking in with the Dolphins and talking about these four 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.320 players and their games. We heard about these reports from 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.760 defensive tackle Carl Brooks from Bowling Green and my buddy 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.040 Kevin Dern's a big fan of Carl Brooks's games, but 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:31.520 I chance to go back and watch him a while 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.520 back and if you haven't had a chance to watch him, 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.400 go ahead and rectify that he might be a bit 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.280 of a tweener because he's at two hundred and ninety 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.800 six pounds, and that's kind of where you know, Wilkins 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.760 and Seeler, they're a little bit heavier than that, But 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.280 that's kind of the idea of that weight class and 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.680 that position and more of a you know, three technique 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.200 five technique out to you know, potentially a six or seven. 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.440 But he led Bowling green and sacks all five years 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.200 of his college career. He was first team All Conference 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.360 this year plays at six three two ninety six. But 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.600 what really pops off the tape when you watch him 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.760 is the quickness in that first step. Do you remember 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.160 how much I marveled over how fast Adam Butler got 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.720 off the football that one year down here? It really 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.520 reminds me of that. Plus you can just see the 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.960 experience of those five years in college with how he 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.080 attacks different blockers with a unique rush plan every single rep. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.160 But how he understands how to convert speed to power, 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.880 how to go from run game to pass game. All 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.360 of that I thought really translated well to the one 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.560 on one drills. At the Senior Bowl when he was 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.440 pretty dominant against the offensive line on the other side 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.240 across from him. His hands and feet are really hardwired together, 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.199 and that's something that can take a lot of time 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.600 for players to develop. So for Carl Brooks having five 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.959 years there in college, he kind of figured that out 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.599 a little bit and I think it makes him a 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.960 potentially productive player from day number one in the NFL 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:57.079 at the edge position. Garrett Wilson from Nebraska tried typing 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.720 this guy's aiming on Google and it kept coming up 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.719 Garrett Wilson, So if you try to find him, he 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.880 might have some difficulty of doing that. But the pride 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.360 of the corn Huskers program the last six years. He 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.360 was their emotional leader, not to mention their production leader. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.000 He kind of reminds me of Hubert Wyatt from Kansas 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.560 State a few years ago, and you just see the effort, 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.439 like pop off tape, like hair on fire. You recognize 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.920 where he is every single snap. He talied twenty and 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.480 a half tackles for lost last two seasons. That was 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.880 his claim to fame upfront, playing a big, big edge role. 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.160 I'm not talking about his role, but as a player 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.319 his size, he was a big player off that position. 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.200 Linebacker to marv An Overshown from Texas was rumored to 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.400 be a thirty visit. I love these safety converted to 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.960 linebacker players. Man. He comes with exceptional length and twitchy 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:44.040 athletic ability, and that combination together always intrigues me. To me, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.640 you turn on the tape and you see a immediate 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.960 core special teamer, a guy that you can sign as 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.840 a u DFA, makes your club and gives you eighteen 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.200 snaps a week on special teams because he flies all 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.000 over the field, plays with tons of passion, and can 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.240 contribute in that area. I think right away as a rookie, 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.319 and you think he's also a candidate talking about the 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.520 length and athletic sism combo for those sub package roles 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.440 early on in his career, and we know the coach 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.319 Fangio in the past has rolled out a lot of 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.439 dB linebacker heavy packages where you pull your defensive lineman 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.760 or your non pass rushers off the field and get 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.120 more pass coverage guys in those long down distances. That's 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.520 what I think of when I think of to marv 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.679 An Overshowing from Texas and then cornerback Anthony Johnson from 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.720 Virginia is a local product, went to Nova High School 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.520 here in Davy, transferred to a private school in Hollywood, 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.240 shamanad Madonna. Prepp began his career at Louisville before transferring 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.320 to Virginia and seeing in his scattering report from Dane 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:45.280 Brugler that his ability to disrupt at the line causes 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.720 a lot of timing issues for opposing offenses. We've seen 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.319 both X and Jalen excel with this for years at 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.040 the cornerback position. I thought kater co who was very good, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.240 especially in the way he attacks the running game and 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.080 is the screen game as a cornerback pressed up on 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.920 the line of scrimmage. But Johnson's a great tackle or 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.240 two with premier ball production. That's kind of two traits 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.120 of the modern cornerback. Find the football and tackle the football. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.320 And that's what our guys do. I think, really, you know, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:11.839 so makes sense that Anthony Johnson would be on the 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.680 Dolphins radar in that sense. But everybody praises this aspect 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.760 as well, which goes a long way under coach Fangio. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.120 How studied he is and how smart of a player 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.120 he is, that's so paramount in this man match zone 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.240 match coverage scheme of Vic Fangio that can be heavy 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.439 in rules and different portions of the playbook that require 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.800 you to know what the hell you're doing out there. 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.000 So a fun exercise, a chance to look at some 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.800 players that I had previously not except for Carl Brooks. 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.000 Let's go ahead and take our first break right there 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.040 and come back on the other side and talk about 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.680 the major draft publications, what are they saying, and do 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.360 a little mock draft roundup as well. That's next Drivetime Podcast, 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.360 your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.000 It's a Tuesday here on the Drivetime Podcast. We're talking 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.000 all things draft and I wanted to go around the 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.800 web here a little bit. Not a whole lot going 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.320 on in terms of the big time riders that you've 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.600 grown accustomed to. It's just kind of a quiet time 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.839 right now in the NFL. Free agency has kind of 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.920 slowed down. The draft is you know, boards are not finalized. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.320 We are starting to get some of the draft guides 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.120 coming out though, and Dane Brugler talked about him a 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.880 little bit earlier from the Athletic just dropped the beast. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.000 If you don't have an athletic subscription. The Beast alone 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.480 is worth it because he just puts in so much 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.040 work and there's great detail there. Not just about there. 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.679 They're scouting the players in terms of what they are 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.280 in the football field, but the behind the scenes, which 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:39.599 I love that stuff from Dane. He gives. It's a 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.480 great job every year of really getting good intel on 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.480 all of these players before we do that through real 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.600 quick a quick departure. I think A big tip of 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.960 the cap to John Ram for his performance and the 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.880 Masters over the weekend. Also Viva Lapga Man was great 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.600 to see him pulled out over brooks Kepka, who I actually, 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.440 you know, brooks kep gets a lot of crap for, 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:03.280 you know, his confidence and his brash attitude, but I 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:04.960 tend to, you know, think he's a pretty good golfer 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.080 and I like that confidence in any athlete. The Heat 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.600 play in game tonight. Let's go Heat. Let's get that win. 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.040 Even though this year has been exhausting. As a Heat fan, 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.520 I kind of I hope they get upsets when in 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.520 the first series of the year of the playoffs, but 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.640 we'll see. I do expect him to roll over the 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.160 Hawks and the Mariners got it rolling again, but a 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.800 brutal loss on Sunday where they blew two a pair 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.640 of two run leads in the extra frame. That was 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.600 that was rough to see. Let's go back to football 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.400 here and go around the web. Peter King didn't have 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.080 anything Dolphins related this week, but I always enjoy, enjoy, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.440 enjoy draft scuttle, but this time of year, he says 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.840 that Bryce Young and the Panthers is seemingly becoming more likely, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.160 which to me is funny because we just talked about 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.240 on the Friday podcast from Bruce Feldman on The Athletic 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.240 that it was going to be c J. Stroud. So 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:51.920 that's why the draft was fun. Man. We never know 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.520 what's going to happen. But Peter also said the more 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.240 people he talks to, the more he thinks that these 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.960 mocks are going to wind up laughable, which they usually are. 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.560 Expect surprises, he says, which is also interesting, paired with 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.120 a tweet that I saw on Monday morning. I forget 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.640 the author and forgive me for blanking on this. Look. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.520 I'm a tired father of two right now. Man. He 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:17.640 said they expect maybe two but likely one receiver to 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.800 go in the first round. Compared to the mock drafts 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.440 that have four or five guys going off the board, 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.120 and he said, the one guy to look for is 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.680 Jackson Smith and jigbu So I guess for Quinton Johnston, 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.880 Zay Flowers and all those guys. I hope that happens 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.120 because to me, the Dolphins with that second round pick, 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.800 I think you're gonna look at the start of Day 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.720 two is potential trade up territory where typically teams do 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.040 want to come up and get whatever position group has been. 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.040 You know, I guess solely from the first round at 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.440 that point, and if a couple of big time receivers fall, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.080 maybe that means some tackles didn't go that high, or 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.040 you know, tight ends or whatever it might be, could 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.120 be the ones that fill in those spots a little 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.280 bit later on into the fifties where the Dolphins pick. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.480 How about this fact, it's a total random fact. Mississippi 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.280 States Emmanuel Forbes. We talked to him at the combine. 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.280 He had a Florida Marlin's hat on. He used to 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.200 throw ninety five miles per hour on the arm until 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.240 he had an arm injury and decided to just go 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.840 exclusively to football in his sports career. That's that's crazy. 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.880 One hundred and seventy eight pound cornerback. He's throw ninety 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.280 five mile an hour. Jetta. That's like chet Steadman manque 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.160 the guitar. No no, no no, no, no, no no woo. Do 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.480 you guys get that reference I do before we go 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.720 to these mocks. I'm not gonna lie. I'm happy that 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.120 O b J chose Baltimore and we don't have to 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.040 see him with the Jets. I still think he's one 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.480 of the best route runners in the game, and he's 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.000 always a challenge to cover. So we will see him 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.160 once this year, but not twice unless it's in the playoffs. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.280 So Baltimore, if you can pick the playoffs, you might 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.120 see him twice. Also run the web. How about mock 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.240 draft season. Let's go ahead and go over a few 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.880 of these. Pro Football Focus has the Dolphins taking Jamir 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.960 Gibbs at fifty one, the running back out of Obama, 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:55.520 and wide receiver Tank Dell out of Houston at eighty four. Now, Gibbs, 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.000 I talked about him a lot here, electric great pass catcher. 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.440 I listened to the Movie Sticks podcast over the weekend 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.760 and Daniel Jeremiah talked about him being a guy that 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.720 they focus you focus getting touches too overcarries, and that 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.480 he will contribute in the passing game just as much 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.800 as the running game. Tank Dell would be just a 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:19.520 ridiculous addition to this wide receiver corps. I know that's 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.960 a position that doesn't seem like a need, but I'm 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.400 all about adding to your strengths. And I think that 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.560 Dell does two things as well as anybody else in 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.560 this draft, and they are the things that I think 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.120 separate Tyreek and Jalen from the rest of the football world. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.280 The speed and the mastery of the craft of route running. 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.120 Go back and watch Dell's college tape or the Senior Bowl. 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.400 It doesn't matter. There's just not much blanket coverage at 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.760 any phase of the route. At the line of scrimmage, 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.840 up the stem, at the top of the route, at 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.960 the catchpoint. Guys have a hard time staying close to him, 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.520 and people will say that he's so slight that he 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.400 can't get off the line. Go watch the tape, man, 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.960 like I'm tired of these takes that don't include watching tape. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.360 Just I'll raise you. Go watch the tape and tell 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:03.800 me if that's all the commentary you have, because if 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:05.639 you watch the tape, you're not going to have that impression. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.480 He could off the line just fine, in the same 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:12.479 way DeVante Smith did at Alabama. ESPN's Todd McShay has 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.920 us taking Dewan Jones, the offensive tackle out of Ohio State, 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.280 at pick fifty one. And this one's interesting to me 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.679 because remember we talked on the Friday Show about that 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.920 Bruce Felban mock once again that only had four offensive 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.280 linemen going in the first round, and in that scenario, 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.520 you could potentially see a player with this type of 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:37.199 upside that Dewan Jones features at pick fifty one. He's massive, 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.359 biggest player and biggest wingspan in the draft, but he 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.480 can get off the ball and that's important. And I 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.800 played this sound by on the podcast back when he 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.880 was hired with Mike McDaniel talking about offensive line prototypes 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.439 over a year ago. Now we heard him talk about 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.960 several times this year firing off the football and having 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.200 to relearn how to play the position that's a little 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.240 more reactive, whereas in this he wants you to come off, 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.639 you know, proactive, and go fire off the football and 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.160 go hit somebody and run. He talked about the offensive 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.320 line in San Francisco having a smaller group, but how 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.639 that wasn't by design and they didn't just invest, you know, 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:18.080 top two round picks to get the players where that's 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.840 typically where you find your physical marvels. Right. The guys 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.840 that go on top of the draft typically have something 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.040 that produces high level upside. So if they can run, jump, 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:27.960 and they're huge, that typically puts them in a good 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.200 position to do that. But he had this comment with 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.440 regards to a question about the drafting of Aaron Banks, 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.160 who is six ft five, three hundred and forty pounds, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.520 and if it signals a potential change, and coach had said, 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.160 we'd prefer everyone to be four hundred pounds six foot 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.480 ten if you can engineer that. It's a great coach 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.359 quote right there. But he talked further about the selection 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.679 of Banks and if that was a hint towards a 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:52.600 change in scheme, and he said, we weren't looking through 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.840 a vision of changing anything. We thought this is a 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:57.679 guy quick enough that on that second level could attach 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.880 to the defenders. Yeah, we like that he's big. He's 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.240 just going to have to run fast while being big. 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.359 And we felt like he's a candidate to do that 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:10.680 end quote. So Jones, going back to the Ohio State prospect, 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.480 is six foot eight, He's three hundred and seventy four pounds. 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.000 His forty and twenty splits were in the thirty six 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.560 and forty first percent tile. His ten split just sixteenth 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.639 percent TILE. But you can see those movement skills in 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.760 the first two times because he's packing an extra thirty 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.679 or forty pounds of weight more than most of his 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.840 contemporary He's like, remember Jake Long got drafted by US 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.000 back in O eight and he was six ft six, 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.920 three thirty and had six pack abs, which was crazy, 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.720 but three hundred and thirty pounds. Duwan Jones has thirty 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.840 four pounds on that, which should honestly equate to a 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.200 much worse time, but it didn't. He wasn't that far 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.560 off from being like average time. That's great. So I 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:53.479 saw that his relative athletics score profile compares pretty similar 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.359
