1
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: This is the OTP presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans.

2
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: Farm Bureau Health Plans has been serving members and protecting

3
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: their health for seventy six years. Learned about our Tennessee

4
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: roots at FBHP dot com. It's Tuesday. We are roughly

5
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: forty eight hours away from the NFL Draft. With coach

6
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis and Rhetbrian. We call them our Titans Radio

7
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: Draft duo. I'm Mike Keith, and here we go. Yesterday

8
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: we talked about six questions towards drafting defense. Today six

9
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: questions towards drafting offense. Rhetbrian and coach Dave McGinnis have

10
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: graded roughly three hundred players for the draft, and so

11
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: we start with this. Rhett, what stood out to you

12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: about this crop of offensive players that will be drafted

13
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: this weekend.

14
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: The first thing for me is the tight end class.

15
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: It's the richest it's been in probably over ten years.

16
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: In our top one hundred, if I'm not mistaken, Mac,

17
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: we've got six tight ends in the top one hundred picks.

18
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: And it starts with a you know, Michael Mayer from

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Notre Dame goes through all these guys that we have

20
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: looked at whether it's Luke Musgrave or Dalton Kincaid from Utah,

21
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: there's a wealth of talent there, and when you get

22
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: to the bottom part of that one hundred, there is

23
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 2: even I mean, it's just it's rich throughout this whole

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: thing of really good talent, and not just straight up

25
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: you know, big receiver type tight ends. I'm talking about blockers,

26
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: you know, traditional wide type tight ends in this all

27
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: different shapes and sizes.

28
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: Totally agree. But I want to put the offensive lineman

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: in there too. There's some quality offensive lineman both on

30
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: the edge and in that triangle in this draft, and

31
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: I think fairly deep into this draft too. So those

32
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: two positions, to me are what stood out the most.

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: All Right, Coach Mack, you lead with question two. Who

34
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: is the best offensive player in the twenty twenty three draft?

35
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: John Robinson running back from Texas. Wow, just pure running,

36
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: just pure football player.

37
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: Do you have a comp I know you hate comps,

38
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: but many people haven't seen Bjon.

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: Robinson, Ladadian Tomlinson.

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: Okay, that's pretty good. This guy is just a football player,

41
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: really good football player. Texas is really an anomaly for

42
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: a lot of us that watch a lot of college

43
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: football because they've got talent that sometimes doesn't perform up

44
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 3: to the five star that they are coming out. This

45
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: guy's a really talented football player at a position that

46
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: is not as highly valued anymore in today's National Football

47
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: League as it was in the past, but really good

48
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: player Red Bryant.

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: It's quarterback Bryce Young for me, and it's just you know,

50
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: you see the body of work he did at Alabama,

51
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: and I don't care what size he is, all of

52
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: those things. When you look at the quarterback and the

53
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: leader that he is and the body of work he's

54
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: put together, he's the top of the list. And I

55
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: think the mainly my my answer and my reason for

56
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: that answer is because it's scific position specific quarterback is

57
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: you know where all this leads with and anticipating he'll be.

58
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: The first pick taken, all right, taking out b Jeon

59
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Robinson and Bryce Jahn, who is the second best offensive

60
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: player in this draft.

61
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: Rerat you can't take out b Jeon Robinson because that's

62
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: who I had as the.

63
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Second it is I mean, yes, I have yeah, yeah,

64
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: oppos It didn't work.

65
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: Who wrote this? It worked? I don't know who wrote this.

66
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: No, it's terrible because no it worked because these are

67
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: two legitimate answers.

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 5: Well and Bijon just ridiculous.

69
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: He's the most talented running back coming out of college

70
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: since the twenty eighteen draft when we saw Kuon Barkley.

71
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: This guy's a three down back. I mean tons of

72
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: yards after contact and just a natural talent. And honestly,

73
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: I think he is the different is the definition of

74
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: what the modern current day NFL running back is, being

75
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: a three down back who can help you out of

76
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: the backfield.

77
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: There are some people who believe he will fall to

78
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: like twenty. There's a lot of speculation right now too

79
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: that Atlanta might take him at eight. You know, Arthur Smith,

80
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: you helped to train Arthur Smith as a coach in

81
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: this league. Dave McGinnis, does he get past Atlanta? Who'd

82
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: Arthur take last year?

83
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: You know, he took the tidy end right and nobody

84
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: thought everybody, but this was an offensive weapon that could

85
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: be used multiple ways. Arthur uses his players multiple ways.

86
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 3: This is an Arthur Smith kind.

87
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 5: Of guy, easily. Yeah, you think that happens. RHT.

88
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 2: If it doesn't happen there, I mean, their speculation about

89
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: it being pick ten with the Philadelphia Eagles which.

90
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: Would make a lot of sense because in terms of

91
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: what his cap cost would be. And remember for first

92
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: round picks, they're basically slotted in essence two to two

93
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: and a half percent above what they got last year.

94
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: So you can just look at what guy's got last

95
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: year in that slot, add two to two and a

96
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: half percent and that's going to be it.

97
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 5: And Miles Sanders is in Carolina, well, and that's it.

98
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: I mean, their whole running back room last year cost

99
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: less than six million dollars in cap cost. If you

100
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: took Bjon Robinson, not only would you upgrade for Jalen Hurts,

101
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: which is crazy to think he would have a better

102
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: back play behind him than the group that played with

103
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: him last year, but.

104
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: It would actually be cheaper. It's huge. I mean, it

105
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: makes total sense.

106
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he falls past Philadelphia, especially considering that

107
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 1: Philly also has the thirtieth pick.

108
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 5: Overall, they've got two picks on night one.

109
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 3: Now, see something you bring up, something that really educates

110
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: the listeners, the OT people here when you're in draft rooms,

111
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: not just on draft day. These are the conversations that

112
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 3: general managers, head coaches and staffs have leading up the

113
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: months leading up to this draft, about cap fits, about

114
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: cap fits in the future, and about stacking your roster

115
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: position wise so that it starts to interlock with one another.

116
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: That's a very very valid point, Mike.

117
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 5: We're through two questions.

118
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: We've got four more to go on offense on this

119
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: edition of the OTP with Dave McGinnis and Rhett Bryan.

120
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Hey Titans fans, It's hard to decide what's the best

121
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: part of a dunkin run. Is it the coffee or

122
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: is it the one dollar classic donut or the two

123
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: dollars stuffed bagel minis or the three dollars sausage, egg

124
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: and cheese that you can add to that coffee, or

125
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: the fact that you can leave the office. The answer,

126
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: of course is yes, time for a dunkin run. Great

127
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: deals on food for one, two or three dollars with

128
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: a medium or larger coffee. America runs on duncan. Let's

129
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: get running with question number three. All right, Coach Mack,

130
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: who is the most highly rated offensive player that might

131
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: drop for whatever reason? Jackson Smith and Gieba from Ohio

132
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: State the wide receiver because of his hamstring issues miss

133
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: a significant amount of time last year, the year before

134
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: and you put the year before tape on, you can

135
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: see what this guy is. This guy is going to

136
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: be a starting receiver in the National Football League as

137
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: soon as he steps on sampus.

138
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 4: But when you start.

139
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: Looking at soft tissue issues that have kept a player

140
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: out that long, it's gonna make it's gonna make some

141
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: people pause. And again it's it's per draft room and

142
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: it's per organization what you are willing to risk.

143
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: But that's the guy to me, Coach Mack says, Jackson

144
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba.

145
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 5: What does Rhet Bryan say?

146
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean mine was b Jon Robinson just because

147
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: of the position that he plays at, and you know

148
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: how the running back is somewhat devalued in this and

149
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: we talked about him not falling past ten to the

150
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles, but I mean, if they don't take him

151
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: there and they take a defensive prospect, there's a chance

152
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: he falls pretty far, not out of the first round.

153
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: But at eighteen to the Detroit Lions is another place

154
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: for him because they've they've always been looking for a

155
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: running back since Barry Sanders hung them up. And then

156
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: at twenty six for the Cowboys and at twenty seven

157
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: for the Buffalo Bills are also spots he could fall to.

158
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: I think Detroit is really interesting because they have six

159
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: and eighteen, and so they can get in a situation.

160
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: I think they stick and pick at six because I

161
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: think they're going to want to get a great player.

162
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: But if he he being Bjon Robinson, doesn't go at ten,

163
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: I wonder if Detroit is not the team that calls

164
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee and says we want a trade to eleven to

165
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: go up and get Bjon Robinson. Because they have five

166
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: picks in the first three rounds. I mean, they've got

167
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a lot of depth. They're certainly a much better team.

168
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: Adding weapons right now for that team where they are

169
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: in their development would make a ton of sense.

170
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: And remember this, just on your scenario, Brad Holmes and

171
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: Ran Carthon work together in the same building for five years,

172
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: very closely on putting the Rams team together, all right,

173
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: you know?

174
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: And so.

175
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: Who knows watch Detroit? Yeah, I don't listen. I don't

176
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: think they're in love with DeAndre Swift. And how many

177
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: picks have we seen them over the years row at

178
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: a running back position to try to come up with

179
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 2: an answer. Now they've done more with wide receiver than anything.

180
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: But they have a pretty good history with a couple

181
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: of running backs throughout their time. I mean, especially Barry Sanders,

182
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: understanding what a difference a guy like that could make

183
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: to golf or whatever they're going to do going forward.

184
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean they've they've hit on some receivers, certainly haven't

185
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: quite hit where they want to on tight ends, but

186
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: they may be able to get a guy like that

187
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: going forward. We'll see. That's pretty good ball club. They

188
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: went nine to eight, and you have to feel like

189
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: the NFC North is wide open. So that's why I say,

190
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: I think you've got to watch them. I think again,

191
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: I think they stick and pick at six and then

192
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: I think they use eighteen to potentially leverage back up.

193
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 3: Well, I think discounting what they've done in the past, right,

194
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: you've got a second year GM and you've got a

195
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 3: first year GM that. Believe me, I was in the

196
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: same building with them for five years doing this right here.

197
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: They work very very closely together along with Ray Agnew,

198
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: who is the assistant GM for Brad Now in Detroit.

199
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: So these guys understand one another and their draft philosophy

200
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: very well.

201
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: All right, So let me go through that before I

202
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: ask the next question on our list about offense. So

203
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: those guys have that kind of relationship. Absolutely, Again, you

204
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: work with people who you have those relationships with, understanding

205
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: that you might have to set something up before it

206
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: is that something they would say, listen, if our player

207
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: is there at eleven, here's what we're willing to offer you,

208
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: so you could make the call that quickly to the

209
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: league and get the trade in.

210
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

211
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I've the terms may be lined up theoretically.

212
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: No, No, yeah, I mean, but I'm just saying the

213
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: only reason I can say this.

214
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: With some pretty good clarity.

215
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 3: I've done it, right, I've done it, and that's exactly

216
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: what you do do. I mean, we did it with

217
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: the Titans with Jared Goff, right, So I mean that's

218
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: just the most recent, you know, that I've been involved in,

219
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 3: and there's been several others.

220
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 5: All right.

221
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: Question four, what is the best case scenario for an

222
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: offensive player for the Titans at number eleven?

223
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 2: Read for me, naturally, if one of those quarterbacks are

224
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: sitting there for multiple reasons, one, if it's one they

225
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: like and want to take, okay go, and if not,

226
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: maybe someone calls Ran Carthon and you get some more

227
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: capital that you need. That's the first thing. Second thing,

228
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: if one of these top tackles, like if Peter Scronsky

229
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: is sitting there, go same thing with Broderick Jones. I mean,

230
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: I think you know there's a chance you might have

231
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: one of those sitting there. You could have the pick

232
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: of the litter with these tight ends that we started

233
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: this podcast with. But a top tackle maybe quarterback for

234
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: for those reasons.

235
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: Paris Johnson, junior, Okay Mohio State. Uh, that to me

236
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: is the best scenario.

237
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: He's a big tackle. You see, he's a big athletic tackle.

238
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: People saw the footwork at the Ohio State workout and

239
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: that was shown over and over and over again on Twitter,

240
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: and people are like, what's this. I mean, he's he's

241
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: pretty special.

242
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: It's a dude.

243
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: Let me go back to something Red mentioned tight ends

244
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: and I want to see because it feels like you've

245
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: alluded to this, but I want to I want to

246
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: sort of dive down on a little bit more. Are

247
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: there more elite tight ends very safely in your top

248
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: one hundred than there are elite wide receiver prospects.

249
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I'll give you the tight ends that we've got.

250
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: We keep talking about this mythical top one hundred. I mean,

251
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: here's what Ret and I came up with. Michael Mayer

252
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: from Notre Dame, Dalton ken Kid from Utah, Luke Musgrave

253
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: from Oregon State, who we were we're gonna. Can I

254
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: just say I love him? Yeah, And that's why I

255
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: looked at you, Uh, Darnell. I can tell who you

256
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 3: like when we go to see you.

257
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 5: When I hugged him and he didn't know it.

258
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: Uncomfortable when you know, when you yelled at me across

259
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: the ballrooms.

260
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 4: Had come over here and talk to this guy, cause.

261
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 5: I did want you to meet Yeah, because he because

262
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: you know his.

263
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: Uncle I do.

264
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: I didn't hire his uncle, uh Darnell, not for any

265
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: bad reasons. Darnell Washington from Georgia, Tucker Craft from South

266
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: Dakota State, Sam Laporta from Iowa. I'm in the top

267
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: one hundred now, Luke Schoonmaker from Michigan, and then right

268
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: on the fringe of this, Brenton Strange from Penn State.

269
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: So let me see if I feel this right. If

270
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: if you're if you're sticking with your board and you're

271
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: talking about an elite player, you could theoretically take a

272
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: tight end over a wide receiver, you know, in terms

273
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: of first, second round, whatever, with the thought process being

274
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: this is just a more elite player who stays on.

275
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 5: The field more.

276
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: I think so, yes, yeah, And again at eleven, which

277
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: is what the question is. I believe you'd have your

278
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: pick of the litter there of the Titans.

279
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 5: Would one be worth that? Mmmm? Okay?

280
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: All right, all right, so I'm gonna move on. I know,

281
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm just asking questions. That's all I'm doing. We're on

282
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: the OTP. This is how we're doing it, all right.

283
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: Question five is this Nicholas Pettifrere was an incredible draft

284
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: bargain for the Tennessee Titans early in the third round

285
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: last year. Each of you give me two offensive prospects

286
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: that could be there for the Titans at number seventy two,

287
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: the Titans picking the third round that would have the

288
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: same type of value as Patifree.

289
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 5: We'll go Sam.

290
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: Laporta, the tight end from Iowa that I just said,

291
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: and then go to the receiver route Marvin Mahams Junior

292
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: from Oklahoma. This is a speed guy. This is a

293
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 3: vertical speed fast, fast, fast dude. It's got a pretty

294
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: nice catch radius.

295
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 5: Even.

296
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: The thing about this wide receiver group, Mike, for our listeners,

297
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: I know you know this because you study this hard too.

298
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: It's completely different than it has been in the last

299
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: several years. There's not that many six two, six, three

300
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: sixty four big long receivers. Now they're the five to nine,

301
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: five ten speed guys. Great short area of quickness guys.

302
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: This is one of them.

303
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: For me, Mike, I'm gonna go receiver and tight end

304
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: on mine, and I'm going to go with one of

305
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: the bigger receivers in this that would be a value

306
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: in day two, and that's Jonathan Mingo from Old Miss.

307
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: He's six two plus two twenty five seventeen yards per

308
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: catch average in his career at Old Miss. I think

309
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: that's somebody that can help the Titans. And then the

310
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: last tight end that Mack mentioned in our top one hundred,

311
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: Luke Schoonmaker from Michigan.

312
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 5: What do you like about him?

313
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: He is, First of all, he is quick than he

314
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: appears to be in this all right. First of all,

315
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: he's six five two fifty one arms thirty two and

316
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: seven eights inches, hands, nine wings seventy eight and an

317
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: eighth four to six three in the forties. What he

318
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: did the combine but he had a thirty three and

319
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 2: a half inch forvert had a ten to seven broad

320
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: and you see him. He's he can block. But he

321
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: also was used as a red zone threat from Michigan

322
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. Average ten yards per catch in

323
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: his last two years at Michigan and six touchdowns in

324
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: there and not a lot of drops. He's just a

325
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: guy I think that you could get in probably round

326
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: three that is of value.

327
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,119

328

Speaker 1: all right, are we ready for question six?

337
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely? I love this these.

338
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about offense. Yesterday was defense, Today is offense Day.

339
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 5: Three.

340
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: Give me an offensive position group where the Titans can

341
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: find great value on Saturday goes First.

342
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to start with the interior offensive line. There

343
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: are some guards and centers, like Mac has said when

344
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: we started this OTP, the triangle players, they run pretty

345
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: deep in this. And I'm going to start with a

346
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: couple of guys, one of which is a Michigan Wolverine

347
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: olu Ola with Teamy. We saw him at the Senior Bowl.

348
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: He's a Virginia transfer six two and a half three

349
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: oh nine. He was the Remington and the Outland Trophy

350
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: winner in his one year at Michigan. And it's a

351
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 2: guy that played I think most of his games at

352
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: right guard, but had played some games at tackle as well,

353
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 2: so there's some versatility there. And then there's another one

354
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 2: that I really like from LSU, Anthony Bradford. He had

355
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 2: twelve games at right guard, five at left tackle. He's

356
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: six four three thirty two and as coach Mack would say,

357
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: he's not an empty chairs. He's certainly somebody that I

358
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: would look for as a late round pick in this.

359
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: And then I'm going to go also wide receiver at

360
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: Perry from wake Forest six three and a half one

361
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 2: ninety eight twenty four hundred plus yards in his last

362
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: two years at Wake Forest, eleven touchdowns, good long speed

363
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 2: on vertical routes. Has had some dropsy issues, but I

364
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: think that's something that Rob Moore could work with him on.

365
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: There's a wealth of stuff in the back end of

366
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: this draft.

367
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: On offense, Okay Brett gave us three, I'll give you four.

368
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: Wide receiver, Let's stay there. Xavier Hutchison from Iowa State,

369
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: got some length to him, got a little bit of speed,

370
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: Pretty crafty receiver. Offensive tackle Nick Salaverari from Old Dominion.

371
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: This is a big athletic dude, raw, but you're talking

372
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 3: about day three here. Can he also play guard? I

373
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: possibly could. He's a big dude. Mike tight end I

374
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: got loos Luke schoon Maker right here. Luke Schoonmaker to

375
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: me is a guy that can do a pretty good

376
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: of both, just as Rhett gave a great description of him.

377
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: But his blocking is better than some of these guys

378
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: that will probably go before him, just because that's the

379
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: way it works right now with people you know using

380
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: tight ends to be sometimes primary receivers in their offense.

381
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 5: And then my.

382
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 3: Offensive guard that I've got written right here. And Rett

383
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 3: and I don't talk before this. We talk a lot

384
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: in the last three months. We're sick of each other.

385
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: But is Anthony Bradford the guard from LSU both like yes,

386
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 3: you both like schoonmaker?

387
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 4: Yes?

388
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 5: Interesting?

389
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: All right, So let me quiz you on one ratt

390
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: another guy that I really like at the Senior Bowl

391
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: and think he's a good player also, so I'm play

392
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: in the Southeastern Conference. Does a Meal Echi center guard

393
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: out of Alabama have a chance to fall into Day

394
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: three or do you think he goes the first two days? No?

395
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: I think he would be a Day three candidate in this.

396
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 2: And you know, we heard the story from Jim Naggy,

397
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: the senior director of the Senior Bowl, you know, in

398
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 2: that you know, Nick Saban calls him and says, hey,

399
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 2: give him a shot at center, right, he can do this.

400
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: So it's a versatile guy in him. Man, he's a

401
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: big dude, big anchor who played in a massive, you

402
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: know program in the Southeastern Conference. Yeah, he absolutely somebody

403
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 2: that would be of value for someone in Day three.

404
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: Emiliek you are we have him around the one twenty range,

405
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: so that's fourth round.

406
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: You know kind of at the top of that fourth round.

407
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Uh.

408
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 3: He's six two three fourteen and he is versatile because

409
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: he proved that he could snap the ball and still

410
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 3: get to his blocks at the Senior Bowl.

411
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 5: Another interior alignment.

412
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm interested in Jerome Carvin from Tennessee played sixty games there.

413
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: Don't know if I don't know if he's a drafted player.

414
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if he goes later than that, But

415
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: he's that type of guy you're trying to find who

416
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: can make your practice squad, can eventually make your roster,

417
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: can play more than one position. You're always looking for

418
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: those O linemen who always seems always seem to drop

419
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: because there are more of them and because teams sort

420
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: of get fixated on. Oh I can't believe this edge

421
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: rusher's still here. Oh, I can't believe this safety is

422
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: still here.

423
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 4: Well, we're doing the draft with a guy right here

424
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 4: that that happened with. Who's that Ramone Foster?

425
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 5: Yes, that's right.

426
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: Ramone Foster wasn't undrafted and only spent eleven years with

427
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers.

428
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 5: So there we go. That was pretty good.

429
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,720
