Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to another edition of the Triple Take,
Speaker 1: brought to you by up MC. I'm Mike Pursuita from
Speaker 1: Steelers dot Com and the Steelers Audio Network, joined us
Speaker 1: always by the tag team from the Drive on SNR
Speaker 1: and the Steelers Audio Network. You can also catch Dale
Speaker 1: Lawley's work and Matt Williamson's work on Steelers dot Com. Guys,
Speaker 1: how are we doing?
Speaker 2: We're doing.
Speaker 3: We're getting closer to the draft now, we're basically a
Speaker 3: two months out. I guess it's time.
Speaker 4: Tight A wave a free agency has hit us and gone,
Speaker 4: and there's still some trickling effects. But it is about
Speaker 4: draft season, it is.
Speaker 1: Indeed, that's why we're here to do another mock draft.
Speaker 1: I believe this is mock three. I think so, yes,
Speaker 1: where Matt Dale and myself go through our picks, and
Speaker 1: this is the time before we get into it, where
Speaker 1: I remind everyone that these are our picks, not Mike Tomlins,
Speaker 1: not Omar Khan's not, Sheldon White's not, Danny Colbert's not
Speaker 1: anybody who matters. It's what we think might happen.
Speaker 2: We kind of matter.
Speaker 1: Great scheme of things so much not in comparison to
Speaker 1: those guys. But just to remind everyone in case you're
Speaker 1: new to this type of programming here on the Steelers'
Speaker 1: social media outlets, we go through the first round of
Speaker 1: the draft basically one through ten. I know it's not
Speaker 1: exactly ten ten, ten, but we divide it up into
Speaker 1: thirds and kind of kick around what we think is
Speaker 1: significant in that portion of the first round. So Dale,
Speaker 1: let's lead it off with you. Anything surprised or delight
Speaker 1: you going through this for a third time?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think armand Membo is starting to get some
Speaker 3: steam as maybe being the top offensive tackle in this draft.
Speaker 3: Arm length was a little bit longer than Will Campbell
Speaker 3: out of LSU. Moved really well down at at the
Speaker 3: combine and all the interview stuff. It's not a knock
Speaker 3: on Campbell at all, but he does have some shorter arms.
Speaker 3: Membo might be getting again some steam as that top
Speaker 3: offensive tackle in this draft.
Speaker 4: And along those lines, you have Campbell sticking in the
Speaker 4: Bayou and they took a tackle in the first round
Speaker 4: last year, so that worked out quite well too. Mason
Speaker 4: Graham Will Johnson have some things to work out at
Speaker 4: their pro day, but I can see them in the
Speaker 4: top ten for sure.
Speaker 1: Well let's let's see if you did, in fact put
Speaker 1: them in the top ten. As we switched it over
Speaker 1: to Matt Williamson's first round picks one through ten, and
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, uh, look at that Shor Sanders all
Speaker 1: the way down to number nine to number nine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the last time the Saints used a first
Speaker 4: round pick on a quarterback Archie Manning, so.
Speaker 2: It was exactly a while run our third generation.
Speaker 4: His grandson might be their next one. But anyway, I
Speaker 4: wouldn't mind putting Chador at two or three because I
Speaker 4: really feel strongly that Campbell going to the Titans at
Speaker 4: one and they might not even be open for business,
Speaker 4: and that puts a lot of pressure on the Browns
Speaker 4: and Giants to take a quarterback, even if Carter or
Speaker 4: Hunter is a more highly ranked guy. And as Dale mentioned,
Speaker 4: I have Membo going high too. I mean, he's the
Speaker 4: first of those three that I think are kind of
Speaker 4: pigeonholed as the top three guys coming off the board.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're starting to hear at least you don't know
Speaker 1: what to believe at this time of year, but kind
Speaker 1: of the pecking order going into the process, the draft
Speaker 1: of others the process was Ward Sanders and then everybody
Speaker 1: else's the quarterback. Now we're starting to hear some buzz
Speaker 1: that maybe Sanders is potentially not in that club either.
Speaker 4: It sure seems like Ward stands alone, and he does
Speaker 4: in my personal rankings too. I think he's in competition
Speaker 4: from the guys last year he may have been the
Speaker 4: third or fourth off the board, where Sanders to me
Speaker 4: is more like a Pennix or a McCarthy prospect, maybe
Speaker 4: even slightly behind. But we just know how this works.
Speaker 4: I mean, where else are the Browns, Giants, et cetera
Speaker 4: going to get their guy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's such a quarterback star of league.
Speaker 3: And you know, we have a number of teams out
Speaker 3: there as we tape this that still don't have a
Speaker 3: starter in place, really surprisingly enough, and so you know,
Speaker 3: but there are still what four teams that don't have one,
Speaker 3: and there just aren't enough free agent quarterbacks out there
Speaker 3: to get one. So somebody's going to be going to
Speaker 3: fish in these waters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of the theory I'm employing. In my
Speaker 1: one through ten. I've still got Ward one and Sanders three.
Speaker 1: I've got them in that order, and I've got them
Speaker 1: both going rapidly. Because of that, I don't know that
Speaker 1: Sanders is necessarily my second quarterback, but I think he's
Speaker 1: going to be the second one.
Speaker 3: Where is he like the second or third best player
Speaker 3: in this draft? No, but the position value dictates.
Speaker 1: I've got the two Georgia edge guys that are going
Speaker 1: in succession. It's any difference between those two A.
Speaker 2: Lot of different style, but stylistically there are a lot different.
Speaker 1: The quality of player, and it depends what you're looking for,
Speaker 1: projecting more at the NFL level than you got at
Speaker 1: the college level just because of the depth of rotation.
Speaker 3: To add I look at Walker Moore as an inside
Speaker 3: linebacker who can play outside, whereas Michael Williams. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's six five, two sixty, He's an edge all day long.
Speaker 4: The Saints have traditionally taken those huge edge guys too,
Speaker 4: the Cam Jordan's and those types.
Speaker 2: If that fits pretty well.
Speaker 1: Dale, If I'm remembering correctly, you had genty going to
Speaker 1: the Raiders as well, I believe, so, yeah, not too
Speaker 1: high for back if it's that.
Speaker 3: Back right, right, I mean, if he's the guy and
Speaker 3: people were talking about him as being a top five
Speaker 3: talent in this draft, then you don't let him slide.
Speaker 3: You know, sayt Kwon Barkley was one of the top
Speaker 3: picks in his draft. Christian McCaffery was one of the
Speaker 3: top picks in his draft. Not saying genty is those guys,
Speaker 3: but in this particular draft, when you don't have clear
Speaker 3: cut top line talent, which this one doesn't.
Speaker 2: It's deep, but it doesn't have the blue chippers. If
Speaker 2: he's the best player, you take the best player.
Speaker 4: I think you make the argument he is the best
Speaker 4: player in the draft. He's not my number one, but
Speaker 4: he's right there with Carter and Hunter and Ward's.
Speaker 2: Obviously a different beast.
Speaker 4: But at Dale's point, I don't see a lot of
Speaker 4: sure fire blue chip no matter when they come out.
Speaker 4: Top five picks in this draft.
Speaker 1: You know, we're all listing Travis Hunter as quarterback slash
Speaker 1: wide receiver.
Speaker 2: If anyway he lands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's cornerback first because I think that's
Speaker 3: the tougher position to find.
Speaker 2: Whereas wide receivers.
Speaker 3: You know, you can find those guys, and it's more
Speaker 3: difficult in my opinion, to play out of the gate
Speaker 3: at cornerback, and then you can also then do some
Speaker 3: wide receiver stuff. You only have so many cornerbacks you
Speaker 3: can suit up on game day. You can suit up
Speaker 3: five or six wide receivers.
Speaker 2: You may not have that many cornerbacks.
Speaker 4: The only caveat to me is if he lands with
Speaker 4: New England because they're corners.
Speaker 2: They have two really good.
Speaker 4: Corners now and they're really lacking a receiver. I would
Speaker 4: think if he ends up at FOURD in New England,
Speaker 4: why don't you start running routes Travis?
Speaker 1: Yeah, could you see him becoming a gu Not that
Speaker 1: he's going to go both ways as he did at Colorado,
Speaker 1: but situationally played the other position.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I absolutely could.
Speaker 1: Either in a package type of deal or out of necessity.
Speaker 4: Yes, that being said to me, he's the best corner
Speaker 4: in the draft and the best receiver in the draft.
Speaker 4: If he can do some of both, he could be special.
Speaker 1: But let's stick with you as we move it along
Speaker 1: and check out picks eleven through twenty. You got a
Speaker 1: little Texas thing going on here early.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Dolphins signed James Daniels, who were all familiar with,
Speaker 4: but they could use Moro line help, that's for sure.
Speaker 4: One thing you'll notice in mind, which I didn't do
Speaker 4: on purpose is I only had two receivers going in
Speaker 4: the entire first round, and this is the first one
Speaker 4: golden one to be named later here. Didn't do it
Speaker 4: on purpose, but just kind of worked that way. Josh
Speaker 4: Simmons at eleven, and I don't know what to do
Speaker 4: with them. I mean, he's a pure tackle. Free agency
Speaker 4: has shown us that tackles make a ton of money,
Speaker 4: and I think they're gonna get Rien up the board,
Speaker 4: but he has to get cleared medically first.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing too with this tackle class. You
Speaker 2: know a lot of these guys, you look.
Speaker 3: At them, well, he might be a tackle, but his
Speaker 3: future might be at guard. And Simmons is a tackle
Speaker 3: like He's got the arm link, he's got the height,
Speaker 3: the weight, and the experience in the movement.
Speaker 2: You know, some of these other guys they're alone the
Speaker 2: shorter side or they get some shorter arms.
Speaker 3: They're gonna try him at tackle first and then decide
Speaker 3: whether they can stick there or not. Whereas a guy
Speaker 3: like Simmons, he's gonna play tackle.
Speaker 1: And from what I heard, you guys were at the combine,
Speaker 1: I was watching it on the NFL network. With the
Speaker 1: reports about his medical were highly encouraging it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: had his schedule and availability is not going to be
Speaker 1: a problem, and he's doing apparently very well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the only thing that you wonder where
Speaker 3: he falls in at on.
Speaker 2: You know, one.
Speaker 3: Team's medical is not the next team's medicals, and so
Speaker 3: you know, he's kind of one of the wild guards.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of them in this year's draft.
Speaker 3: A lot of the cornerbacks have some kind of injury
Speaker 3: that they're fighting through. And where do those guys go.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look now at Dale's picks eleven through twenty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, to me, the Golden versus Tech McMillan
Speaker 3: conversation is one that you know, we know Golden's fast.
Speaker 3: He ran a four two nine forty. He's he's got size.
Speaker 3: McMillan ran a four to four eight at his pro day.
Speaker 3: He didn't run, you know, at the combine, and typically
Speaker 3: those pro day times are faster than what you see
Speaker 3: at the combine. So I just think he's an explosive player.
Speaker 3: I think he's the first receiver drafted this year.
Speaker 1: You've also got derk Harmon maybe a little higher than
Speaker 1: I've seen him mocked most places.
Speaker 3: He's a good player, and you know, the Seahawks should
Speaker 3: know all about him.
Speaker 2: He played last year at Oregon.
Speaker 3: I just think that, you know, when you need big
Speaker 3: guys that can move like him, who you know, play
Speaker 3: with a certain style.
Speaker 2: I don't know where he learned that at because of
Speaker 2: Michigan State initially.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, you know, I think he's a good
Speaker 3: player and we'll see where that balls at.
Speaker 2: The defensive tackle class this year is deep. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure exactly how they'll fall though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure exactly. It's going to depend on
Speaker 3: what you're looking for. I think it's like that.
Speaker 1: At a lot of positions. I mean, the word I
Speaker 1: heard going into this at the very beginning of the
Speaker 1: process was it's not necessarily star studded, right, But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of depth and a lot of quality. And
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing this in a lot of these positions.
Speaker 1: How do you stack them a receiver, defensive tackle, offensive tackle,
Speaker 1: edge rusher, all kind of depends on what you appreciate
Speaker 1: and what style do you plaint.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this exercise that we do, we put thirty
Speaker 4: two in the first round three different times. Now, I
Speaker 4: bet there's been a lot of names cumulively between the
Speaker 4: three of us, you know, nine different mock drafts, and
Speaker 4: that makes sense because a lot of them are kind
Speaker 4: of similar.
Speaker 1: It's more about fit necessarily maybe than can you do
Speaker 1: it or not.
Speaker 2: I believe that's so be So yeah, let's.
Speaker 1: Take a look at what I came up with eleven
Speaker 1: through twenty. Now, there you see, i've got McMillan going twelve.
Speaker 1: That's my first receiver. Assuming Hunters a quarter, you never
Speaker 1: really know. I really like these edge guys, all of them.
Speaker 1: I don't really I'm differentiating because I have to r Green, Pierce, Stewart.
Speaker 1: They're all players of great potential. They have great skill sets.
Speaker 1: Hampton running back at twenty, that just feels like a
Speaker 1: Denver position.
Speaker 4: I think I did the same thing, and they do
Speaker 4: have a need there. Now they signed Ingram, so I
Speaker 4: think they're out of the tight end market. And I
Speaker 4: wanted to mention the tight end Warren too. I think
Speaker 4: two of us had Warren lasting to fourteen. I just
Speaker 4: don't know where tight ends are going to go. I
Speaker 4: think he's one of the best players in this draft.
Speaker 4: I think that's about as low as he could go.
Speaker 4: I think I have just a well right, he's a
Speaker 4: really good football.
Speaker 1: Do you see him as do a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: as he did at ped State or yea, even the
Speaker 1: wildcat quarterback.
Speaker 4: And anywhere an occasional pass and he could be the
Speaker 4: toush push guy and do those things too. And he
Speaker 4: has a quarterback background, and when he does go really high,
Speaker 4: he probably should send brock Bowers of fruit basket too,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: And then just getting back to Membo in general or
Speaker 1: in particular in tackle in general, Matt, the armle like thing.
Speaker 1: Thirty four is ideal. Thirty three you could live with
Speaker 1: thirty two and you might be thinking about guard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are works exactly. Thirty four is what you're
Speaker 4: looking for when you draw it up in the draft room. Boy,
Speaker 4: won our tackles have thirty four inch arms, and last
Speaker 4: year's class they pretty much all did across the board,
Speaker 4: including who the Steelers took. There's a lot of examples
Speaker 4: of between thirty three and thirty four where you know,
Speaker 4: Penney Seoul, Joe Thomas have had great careers, but it's
Speaker 4: a little more difficult. Under thirty three.
Speaker 2: There's like zero examples of tackles doing well.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, that's amazing.
Speaker 2: It's amazing. I mean it's an inch.
Speaker 4: Right, right, But these guys that they'd have to block
Speaker 4: with the long arms, I mean, they get the first
Speaker 4: and you're kind of sitting there swimming without any you know, contact,
Speaker 4: amazing difference.
Speaker 3: You have to be an extreme athlete to get by,
Speaker 3: you know, in that situation, technician, all that stuff.
Speaker 2: And if you you could say it is a game
Speaker 2: of inches.
Speaker 3: And you know, if Troy Filotano was in this draft,
Speaker 3: he'd be the number one tackle. I mean that that's
Speaker 3: just how deep that that tackle class was last year.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the bottom third and
Speaker 1: uh well, let's let's get right to it.
Speaker 3: I went there, You went there, elect the player a lot,
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 1: Think for the team that's making the selection, it's time.
Speaker 3: I don't disagree that it's time, and it's been that
Speaker 3: way for several years now.
Speaker 2: I just don't know that that's the guy now. I
Speaker 2: say that.
Speaker 3: And we talked about this draft not being top heavy
Speaker 3: at all, but deep, and so what's going to happen
Speaker 3: in this particular draft.
Speaker 2: Like year, we'll we get.
Speaker 3: Twenty six in our final mock draft, twenty six players
Speaker 3: who went in the first round.
Speaker 2: We got right, it might be twenty.
Speaker 3: This year because because you know, the difference between player
Speaker 3: number twelve and player number sixty in this particular year's
Speaker 3: draft might not be all that different on team boards.
Speaker 2: So I get it.
Speaker 3: You know, Dart being somewhere in the first round, he
Speaker 3: may have the same grade as a guy who went fifteenth.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I don't know that I like
Speaker 2: him that much.
Speaker 4: Daniel Jeremiah, the NFL network, very very plugged in. His
Speaker 4: mock came out the morning we recorded this, twenty one
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart.
Speaker 1: To the Steelers. I actually gave the better information.
Speaker 3: I figured I got it from I think I think
Speaker 3: Tiper's draft that came out today had him ninth.
Speaker 4: They really yeah, okay, And they both do the most
Speaker 4: plugged in guys out there, So I mean, when in
Speaker 4: Dal take a quarterback, I understand it.
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things I can't remember if
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this sold of these shows before, but I
Speaker 1: heard an interview with Jackson Dart around the Senior Bowl
Speaker 1: before or during or after, and he talked about his
Speaker 1: opinion of playing at Old Miss and it's a very
Speaker 1: sophisticated position. It's not as easy as people think, and
Speaker 1: he talked about the coaching incredibly difficult. The coaching, Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe get one of the fans to do it. He's
Speaker 1: talked about the coaching he's gotten from Kiff and Lane
Speaker 1: Kiffin and Joe Judge and Charlie Weiss and how detail
Speaker 1: you have to be on your details to play there,
Speaker 1: and that made an impression on me. Maybe it's uh,
Speaker 1: maybe he's coming from a good place that way.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been around big time quarterback developers that
Speaker 4: have a lot of NFL experience and there's no question
Speaker 4: about that, and he's got traits. So, as we mentioned
Speaker 4: ten minutes ago, there's a lot of teams in the quarterbacks,
Speaker 4: including the team picking at twenty one.
Speaker 2: Where are you gonna get him?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are talking about receiver earlier. I've got
Speaker 1: a couple going late. You see, I love a book.
Speaker 1: I've mucked into the Steelers before, can't do that this time.
Speaker 1: I love Walter Nolan, I've mucked into the Steelers before,
Speaker 1: but hate to see him go to Baltimore because I
Speaker 1: like that guy a lot too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the you know the problem with some
Speaker 3: of this stuff, like guys who again, once you get
Speaker 3: past those first eleven, ten, eleven, twelve guys. Is like,
Speaker 3: all right, now, what does that particular team need, and
Speaker 3: that has changed and continues to change throughout free agency.
Speaker 1: It's take a look at mister Williamson's twenty one through
Speaker 1: thirty two and defensive tackle. Can't argue that's a need.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's a remarkable specimen that would be more
Speaker 4: nos than he would three four end, but that you
Speaker 4: can move him all over the line of scrimmage. He
Speaker 4: has immense upside. I wanted to mention Maxwell Harriston as well.
Speaker 4: It's the first time I put him in the first round.
Speaker 4: Interrest the big need for the rams at corner. He
Speaker 4: had a phenomenal testing he takes the ball away.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's one of those guys you guys
Speaker 1: were referencing a moment ago about the first round could
Speaker 1: not work out the way we think it's gonna cause
Speaker 1: there are a number of those guys that are maybes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the last guy I wanted to mention too is
Speaker 4: the Chiefs. Because they traded Joe Toney all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: they got a gaping hole at left guard. Jackson was
Speaker 4: forced to play left tackle. Because of the Simmons injury.
Speaker 4: But he's really a guard. I think they'd be thrilled
Speaker 4: with him.
Speaker 1: There what an advantage, So you know he can do it,
Speaker 1: do both, right, I mean, because.
Speaker 2: Those was a problem for him.
Speaker 1: Lest guys have to be positioned flexible. Yeah maybe this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would have been least tuney to go from
Speaker 4: left guard to left tackle and the Super Bowl and
Speaker 4: playoffs and.
Speaker 2: Well he can do that too.
Speaker 1: He just kind of tried. Dale. Let's see what you've
Speaker 1: got twenty one through thirty two.
Speaker 3: I also have Kenneth Grant. You haven't killed the Kenneth
Speaker 3: Grant pick. And he's a Michigan guy.
Speaker 1: No, Hey, I'm you know, I take them as they come.
Speaker 1: I was a pretty big fan of Devin Bush, and
Speaker 1: I still wonder how his crew would have worked out
Speaker 1: had he not gotten injured when he did, and how
Speaker 1: he did. But Grant, to me, he's kind of the
Speaker 1: new age into your defensive line. He gets push. He
Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of sacks, but he gets pressure.
Speaker 4: Reminds me like a Hilodinada or a Vita Vea. Those
Speaker 4: guys you don't have to take them off. They don't
Speaker 4: they're not just a stump in the middle, and they're
Speaker 4: taller and bigger and disrupt passing lanes and they push
Speaker 4: people around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he definitely pushes people around. The other guys.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about their great Zabel going to
Speaker 3: the Ravens there.
Speaker 1: The other guys may first round.
Speaker 4: I hated leaving them out of my first round. Ye,
Speaker 4: I think he is going to end up in the
Speaker 4: top thirty.
Speaker 3: Two and landon Jackson to the Eagles, to me just
Speaker 3: made a lot of sense, just in the fact.
Speaker 2: That he is a freak, a physical freak like six
Speaker 2: seven to seventy two, sixty five to seventy and tested
Speaker 2: like crazy. They'll figure out what to do with them
Speaker 2: there though. Pretty good, just add to the track record
Speaker 2: developing hits.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've lost some guys there, and he would certainly
Speaker 3: be the next guy to kind of step into that
Speaker 3: role and maybe and maybe flourish in that kind of system.
Speaker 1: My only problem, no, I know, we didn't do trades
Speaker 1: in this, but if this is going to play out
Speaker 1: this way, they're going to in your circumstance, they're going
Speaker 1: to trade up to twenty six and get Jayla Walker
Speaker 1: because he went to Georgia.
Speaker 2: Well there's that. Yeah, good point, Georgia.
Speaker 1: Guy gotta go to Philly.
Speaker 3: Right, This is the first time, like since the draft
Speaker 3: in the modern era, that were at this point in
Speaker 3: the season and none of the first round picks have
Speaker 3: been traded.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy. Now. I don't expect that to happen day.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I think there'll be some teams moving around to get
Speaker 3: those players that they really.
Speaker 2: Have a higher grade on, maybe than some other teams do.
Speaker 3: And I think that could you know, maybe push some
Speaker 3: of the offensive tackles up. Maybe it's the cornerbacks or
Speaker 3: the receivers that get that kind of motion.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the defensive lineman. Who knows.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be shocked if we get two Draft day
Speaker 4: and they're still was all thirty two where they're sitting.
Speaker 4: You know, it might take trades during the draft to
Speaker 4: make that happen.
Speaker 3: Because nobody Typically when you see those trade ups ahead
Speaker 3: of time, people are moving.
Speaker 2: Up for a course or specific guy and you don't know.
Speaker 1: And this is maybe a less specific, more team need
Speaker 1: Well we got to get this guy or this guy
Speaker 1: at age we didn't get Yeah, we didn't get this
Speaker 1: or this receiver. But it doesn't have to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe it'll be less movie before we get out of here.
Speaker 1: Deal lug retreat to number twenty three because that's the name.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've talked about yet, but certainly
Speaker 1: a possibility.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, he went from Purdue to Texas A and M.
Speaker 2: Last year in A and M.
Speaker 3: Asked him to put on about fifteen pounds and play
Speaker 3: on the edge, and it wasn't as good as it
Speaker 3: had been at Purdue. Then he showed up at the
Speaker 3: combine back down to two sixty.
Speaker 2: Five and moved really well.
Speaker 3: And you start looking at that tape going from put
Speaker 3: the Purdue tape when he played at that weight, and
Speaker 3: you're going, Okay, this is a really good football player.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about the Texas A
Speaker 2: and M guys. You know, they all are highly recruited guys.
Speaker 3: They're all, you know, extreme athletes, and then they get
Speaker 3: to Texas A and M and you look at them.
Speaker 2: Where's the production at.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they you know, how they play
Speaker 3: their defense down there. But I think Scowerton's kind of
Speaker 3: a wild card in this.
Speaker 2: Draft as well.
Speaker 4: If you look at the Packers to last year in
Speaker 4: Jordan Love are the only times they've used first round
Speaker 4: picks in like the last fourteen years.
Speaker 2: Oh, they just draft defense, defense. Defense. Probably not gonna
Speaker 2: be a receiver, right, wouldn't they.
Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for this edition of the Triple Take,
Speaker 1: I want to remind everybody what you just heard. Those
