How you can get those two 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.560 things to make them part of your draft, coach. But 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:56.920 I want to I want to have some time some 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.000 of move some things around on you guys, slightly different, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.520 slightly different. I want you to hit me with a 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.640 little tell me more today. I mean, yeah, I think 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.280 that I want to start to stop with from telling 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.000 me more. We'll hit our Twitter and then we'll have 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.280 a chance for Dane's a little bit of game at 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.000 the at the end of the show. So I'm gonna 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:14.840 throw it over to you right now, David Helmont, if 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.919 you can do that, I can do that. And I 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.040 listened to the people. I'm a man of the people. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.880 Man of the people. We've gotten a lot of requests 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.320 about this guy. He has been linked to the Cowboys. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.240 We've definitely mentioned his name at some point during this 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.720 draft process. But just a little thumbnail, little deeper dive, 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.800 tell me more about Edo Smith, the Southern miss running 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.000 back whose name you have probably heard if you've been 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.079 following the Cowboys Senior Bowl guy. Yeah, a player we 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.959 didn't can see at the combine. It was one of 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.560 those snubs, sure talking about We're talking a lot about 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:50.760 these snubs. Really productive, these second all time in Southern 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:55.440 MISSI history and rushing yards. A little under sized, sure, 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.440 five nine two pounds, sure, underpowered, He's not that inside 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.160 runners going to consistently you know, breakthrough tackles. But I 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.239 like investing in space. Yeah, screen game, Yeah, that's where 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.320 he really shine. Catches the football absolutely, one hunifty catches 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.079 in his college career. It's a really good player out 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.399 of the backfield. If he can improve as a blocker, 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.120 I mean, that's your lansdoone bar. I mean that's yeah, 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.440 that's your guy that can be in on third down. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.880 And this team they've shown some interest in him. Yeah, 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.080 don't you kind of get the vibe that that's the 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.560 running back that they want, that that guy that could Yeah, 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.720 you know if you look at who they've also visited 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.280 with with Hines from North Carolina State. Hines is the 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.280 third round version. This is the late round. This is 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.200 the late round version. Absolutely, so yeah, I totally agree 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.080 with Dane. I feel like, though, if you can find 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.600 a way a lot of these guys, with the way 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:45.760 football in college football is nowadays, a lot of these 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.000 guys run the football well, they learn to catch the football, 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:50.920 but they don't know a lot about the pass block. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.280 And because they've been doing things, it's very rare that 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.080 you see a guy now there's you know, we've talked about, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:00.000 you know, Walton and Kelly and those guys as possible 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.800 guys is in the mixes that shorter quicker. I personally 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.480 would rather have one of those guys. Hines would be 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.600 my list of the top guy when it comes to 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.240 say Smith, but you're right, he's more of a later 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.200 round guy. You know, we've talked about as a later 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.080 round guy. This might be a consideration for them. They 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.400 hit it one of those fourth round picks, which would 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.400 probably be a little rich for me. But I kind 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.440 of have a feeling with they're picking on this board. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.280 We might see them on draft day when we start 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.040 talking about this, Hey, maybe it's a round high for us, 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.640 but to them, where they're thinking about in the order 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.760 that they might have to snag that guy, maybe they 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.679 don't get him the second time around. This is actually 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.960 a twitter on the twenty question from Paolo, but it 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.960 fits what we're talking about so well. I'm just curious. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.040 He's not as small, but I mean if if Hines 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.760 is the third round version of that, Sony Michelle is 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.080 what I mean. He's not as small, but he I 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.840 think of him as that type of back too. Yeah, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.600 but he's also I think a little more where he's 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.280 not a specialized when you know, you feel comfortable to 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.560 do a lot more right feel. I think him starts 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.600 shy Michelle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, North South Runner. Yeah. I 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.159 mean that's yeah. But he can also do those thing 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:12.920 and that's why he's gonna be. Sony's gonna be a 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.360 second pick to these other guys. One thing I really 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.440 liked about Edo two. Only the tenth player in FBS 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.880 history to rush for over four thousand yards in his 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.599 career and a thousand yards receiving its Yeah there you go, 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.400 one of ten players to ever do it. I mean 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.320 that says something about his versatility as an offensive player. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.800 I dig the sound of that. Yeah, I mean I know. Okay, 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.000 let's compare him, then we because we tend to like 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.760 maybe Williams from Ella Shoe a little more, which okay, 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:43.279 is Williamson the is the the round earlier than Edo Smith? Yeah? 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.120 And I think they're a little different because like Darrel Williams, 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.520 you feel comfortable on third and one. He can probably 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.360 get you that one yard Riedo Smith, Yeah, he probably 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:55.600 don't feel that way, but uh d, the space is different. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.800 And I mean, I won't shut up about Darryl Williams. Right, 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.840 But that's kind of my point is that they're not 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.200 looking they don't appear to be looking at that type 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.159 of running back, right. Look, they are, They're comfortable with 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.160 Rod Smith, but a second running back, Okay, who is 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.080 the guy that they could be? That which the difference 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.480 and I would rather I would rather just have a 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.880 well rounded guy who can do a little bit of everything. 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.960 I think everyone team won, right, But dud Okay, let 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.080 me let me ask you a question. Since you cover 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.080 the team full time, Rod Smith enough for you feel 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.600 like that when you had to play him that yes, well, 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.000 what you saw maybe with the Giants game late the 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.840 year or is this all? Yes? Yes, the thing about 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.120 Rod Smith and people always ask me about this, like, well, 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.320 why don't you just give Rod Smith any credit? It's 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.080 just that he's he's on a one year deal. He's 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.560 got one year left on his contract. Do you want 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.359 to bring him back? How expensive will it be to 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.440 bring him back? And you know it's the age old thing. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.520 Would you rather you know, pay a vetter and more 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.680 money or just drafting him? You draft Daryl Williams in 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.560 the fourth or fifth round, You got him for four years, 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.200 he can probably even he could probably be your backup. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:57.720 I don't but I don't have a beef. I don't 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.680 have a problem with Rod Smith. I think he's he's 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.640 very underrated. I think he played well when he had 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.040 his chances last year. And if that's what they want 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.680 to do, that's fine with me. It doesn't bother me. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.039 Would a fourth round pick be too rich though for 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.240 a guy that might be just a part time player. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.720 If you talk about it Edo Smith, I mean, is 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.280 Rod Smith gonna be the primary backup that's going to 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.160 see or do you feel like that this staff could 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.280 do something with Edo Smith or any other back that 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.480 they they kind of you know, the Kelly's. Yeah, well, 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.040 let's look at last year's fourth round pick. Yeah, you know, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.040 I mean with Ryan Switzer. You know, if you're gonna 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:30.800 use him correctly and you're gonna he's gonna make an 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.120 impact on your team, then that's that's that's a good 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.600 point right there. But we can argue that Ryan Switzer 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.320 wasn't used maybe to his full capacity as a rookie. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.680 So we'll see moving forward how he's used. But yeah, 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.160 I mean, I'm fine with Edo Smith or I guess, 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.200 I mean, I don't think he's a fourth round pick, 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.920 but that type of back definitely. Finally, is he more 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.160 of a fifth round guy for your spike six I 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.880 game a seventh round grade? Okay, but I mean, you 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.720 know we're talking. They have how many picks on day 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.920 through a seven picks on ya? Yeah, so if they 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.640 used a pick on him in the fifth or sixth round, 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.960 at it, you know, at that point, yeah, I'm not 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.200 in love with this team's or this coaching staff's ability 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.360 with specialized players. Sure, and that's why I'd rather just 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.400 have a guy who like he could be your third 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.160 running back and catch the ball out of the backfield, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.600 but he could also take eighteen carries if he needed to. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.640 Like I like a specialized guy. Don't love the sound 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.040 of that. That's just me. Okay, that was That was 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.880 purely for the fans. Good conversation, Thank you. This is 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.080 purely for me because I'm a homer. Yeah, uh New 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.880 Orleans guy. I actually I'm I feel old because I 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.319 covered this guy's high school recruitment and now he's getting 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.800 ready to go to the NFL. But tell me more 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:41.400 about UCLA linebacker Kenny Young really good against a run? 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.439 Not I mean, he tested better than I thought he would, yep, 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.760 But I don't think he'd played like on tape, the 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.079 play speed, the play athleticism. I didn't think it was 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:54.360 as impressive as the testing numbers were. Um, there were 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.840 times where you know, I thought he you know, there 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:01.400 was separation and coverage that just continued, just gained separation. 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.480 He wasn't able to close the gap. I thought he's 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.839 a late round linebacker, a guy that better against the 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.840 run in the past, or did you see anything different now? 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.640 The thing that I think he's the athletic ability is 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.920 what you saw at the at the combine. He saw 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.680 him the testing the part. One of my notes was 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.000 about the flow, the flow to the ball, the ability 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.120 to get to the ball, you know, And I did 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.080 see a guy that could get outside in a hurry. 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.600 I worried a little bit though about the you know, 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.319 in the coverage aspect of things, you know, and that's 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.320 where you see, Okay, flow to the ball, read go, 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.160 that kind of guy. But then you see him in 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.439 coverage and you don't see the same instincts and things 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.439 like that. That bothered me a little bit about him. 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.040 But I was kind of I did see a good athlete, 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.280 I really really does. So I got to step up 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.880 and take on blockers too a little bit. I thought 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.760 it's like I had a little bit more physicality. But 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.959 the coverage, I don't know if he how good he 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.559 is in coverage and so how is he going to 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.240 be a guy that's limited because all he does is 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.120 flow and make tackles running into football or can you 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.040 play him every down? That that's the concern I had 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.760 about him. Where can I get him? What are else grades? 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.040 I gave him six seven, Yeah, I was in I 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.880 gave him a sixth round grade, is what I did. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.520 Draft him late, let him play special teams and develop. 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.240 You know, if we were we were talking about if 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.719 he doesn't love it, it's fine, l round sure, I mean, well, 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.160 the thing about it is, okay, what are you gonna 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.720 do for Kyle Wilbur That's that's kind of what That's 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.040 what I'm saying, like everybody obviously, but they did it 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:30.880 also though, what did you do with Mark and Sacha? 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.720 But you mean, it seems like this team is always 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.320 looking for who's the guy that's going to be the 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:40.040 backup linebacker that you know, the kid has athletic ability. 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.240 That that's there's no question about markin Zacha shouldn't leave 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.440 a bad taste in anybody's mouth. Though he was a 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.400 seventh round pick, he played a little bit of special teams, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.840 he had some spot to right, and he got claimed 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.880 by another team like that. I mean, that's a that's 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.840 but did you know what God's been just a medical 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.360 with Mark and Sacha? A lot of that with medical. 0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:59.840 But I guess I guess my point is, you know, 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.520 we talked so much about somebody who can back up 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.400 Sean Lee and Jalen Smith and potentially start, but you 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.319 need late round linebackers who can play special teams and oh, 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.280 this team's gonna draft linebackers. Yeah, they might very well 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.920 do it with the nineteenth pick. Well yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.640 got the linebacker at two thirty six. Yeah, you still 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.400 find a role for him. He absolutely don't want him 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.040 to play. The lot to like about him. He Uh, 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.280 he's a big, raw, raw guy who's actually a member 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.400 of the UCLA debate team. Yeah. So, I mean this 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.120 is a guy who you know, he's going to have 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.080 a voice even as a rookie. So not a bad 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:31.800 guy to bring in the later round. But yeah, he's 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.800 absolutely right. I mean, just looking through the linebackers, uh, 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.800 you know, I'm just kind of just the guys I 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.679 have there, that sixth round type of guy. He's the 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.679 top of the list of those guys. Tell me more 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.520 about this small school guy at a position of need 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.160 safety out of Jacksonville State by the name of Siran Neil. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.800 Another senior Bowl guy. Uh, by the time April rolls around, 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.880 I don't remember who we even watch. Uh, guy who's 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.200 been kind of mixed and match over his career. Put 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.199 a corner, put a safety play, kind of that overhang linebacker, 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:07.959 a hybrid of all. I mean, kind of a mismatch 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.480 player because he's big, he's physical as a good athlete. Right, 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.160 The kind of the key is where you play him, right? 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.680 Is is he in the box? Can you can you 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.319 line up over the slot? That's a big question with him. 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.600 At a the Senior Bowl, he did some good things. 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:24.640 We saw him press at corner. I think that kind 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.839 of showed he's probably a better safety, right, kind of 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:31.000 his struggles there, but he's a good athlete. I think 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.880 I put him as a safety on my board, right, 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.079 Is he a safety for you? Absolutely? Yeah, I think 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.160 Danius got the guy right. I just don't know where, Okay, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.760 down back, where do you play? He could play something 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.800 that There's a lot of guys in this draft that 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:47.680 seem like they can cover. But do you want them 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.320 playing back? You know if you're yeah, you're you're trying 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.880 to find every safety in the draft. Yeah, you're trying 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.400 to find somebody, a big boy golden who can do 0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.000 no wrong. Well golden to me and I just can't 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.160 it over why people And maybe maybe I'm missing something myself, 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.280 But you throw on that Tennessee tape. He could he 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.800 could cover, he could tackle, he's got range, he's got 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.840 ball skills, why not play him deep? I mean he's 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:15.520 but they're gonna say, oh, he ran a four to 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.520 sixth one of the combine. I really don't care. It's 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.920 like Josie Jewel when you when a guy makes every 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.120 single tackle, I'm gonna I'm gonna pay attention to that guy. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.600 Sure that to me. And I didn't mean. I didn't 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.880 mean to hijackers. No, no, no, but I'm just saying. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.280 But it goes back to the safeties. It goes back 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.760 to the safe theme for this year is that the 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.760 vast majority of these safeties you don't sound excited about 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.719 their ability to cover and play, you know, back, and 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.560 that's why they're safeties. Yeah, you know, I mean that's 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.320 well with this guy, well, the I think the Southern 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.360 miss kid more. We talked a little bit about him though, 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.160 Now I think he's Yeah, the place be or the 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.120 testing was outstanding. Yeah, and he shows that on film. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.920 This is a film A lot of a lot of 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.080 folks late to that one. Van Deesh. We're talking about 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.240 being as sending player, right, the same thing with this guy. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:06.120 You know, he was a Juco kid only one year 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.880 starter or so other miss he's getting better and better. Uh. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.599 But with Saran neil Um, you know he's again I 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.800 think some teams look him as a press corner. I 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.120 think he's better as like a nickel safety, a guy 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.400 that you can move around a little bit in a pinch. 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.120 Can he go up on the line of scrimmage and 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.960 press over the slot? Shirt could do that? But I 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.600 saw it with Xavier Woods. I don't think we've talked 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.600 a bunch about Xavier Woods being a nickel corner in 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.720 the National Football League, And all of a sudden, what's 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.920 he doing after the Chargers game, He's playing press corner 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.400 in the nickel and we're all going, whoa, look out 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.840 here we go. But he didn't. You know, he wasn't 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:45.480 any worse for wear. So so I was, Yeah, at 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.120 least these safeties though, because I think the Cowboys, and 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.800 I think the Cowboys might hit when at fifty, I 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.040 really do. And it could very well be a guy 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:57.560 like more Again I talk about I talk about guys. Huh, Okay, 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.800 I'm just telling you this. When they're picking in the 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.200 middle of the board there, it's gonna be, it's gonna be. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.920 You might have to almost think around early. Yeah, really, 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.560 we're gonna dang, we're all gonna sit there on draft 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.840 Day that those three days and go well, again, I 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.560 say little early. It was little early for me. Little early, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.320 but they're thinking if we wait till, if we wait 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.720 to eighty one, we're not gonna get this guy, especially 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.520 a free safety where we know those those are endangered 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.880 species in the draft. Yeah, you know guys that can cover, 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.520 guys that have to have a speed. So yeah, if 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.920 it's like kind of not like quarterbacks, but you know, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.800 similar where if you don't have one, you better tackles, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.760 offensive tackles. If you don't get your offensive tackle in 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.880 the first round, probably not gonna get one on the 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.040 second round, right, at least start your quality. And so 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.200 with free safeties, you might have to get a guy 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.320 like more in the second round because you can't just 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.280 you know, hope and praise there at eighty one. Right, 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.400 we're not we're not gonna be surprised by the picks, 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.520 but we might be surprised by the round where they're called. Yeah. 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.600 I just I'm just trying to get fans out there 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.520 of any if you're even if you're watching from another 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.120 another market, and teams not the Cowboys and your team's 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.600 picking at the near the bottom of the board. Just 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.160 kind of don't be surprised if your team is like 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:11.520 clicking guys off that the draft experts might think. Or 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.280 I have him in the third round and all of 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.040 a suddy, he's taking the second round. Oh, I've got 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.080 him in the fourth round. He's taken in the third. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:21.160 Don't be surprised by that, because teams will say, listen, 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.120 if we don't grab this guy now, we're not gonna 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.560 get him. That's gonna be the bottom line there. Let's 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.560 hit the trifecta for Southern Miss. Shout out all my 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.840 Hattiesburg people. Tell me more about Southern Miss wide receiver 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:37.520 Corey Robertson pleasantly surprised. I turn on the tape with him. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:43.000 Big physical guy who can break tackles, stretch, you know, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.640 short gains into long gains with his ability after the catch. 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.600 Not the fastest guy, you know, he's a little bit 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.000 of a plotter into his into his routes. But there's 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:55.680 a lot to like there. I mean as a mid 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.960 round receiver, you know, I think he's some teams will 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.320 him over like a semi Cobbs. Oh no, yeah, because 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.120 there's a lot to his game that you really appreciate him. 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.080 Going over the middle is fun, right, that's the type 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.560 of receiver that defenders don't want to see him over 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.320 the middle. He makes circus place Dave, he really does. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.320 He will make some circus catches on it. He's physical 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:21.000 off the line, He'll go low for football. He's got balance, 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.040 he understands the sideline awareness and stuff like that. Somebody's 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:25.720 going to get a heck of a football player with 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.760 this kid. Those Southern miss kids are usually really tough, 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.639 hard nosed kids. They don't have like their facilities aren't 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.040 the best, and they play. They ride a bus to games. 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.000 You know, there's some toughness about those Southern miss kids. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.439 That's where we talk about the safety more. You know, 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.880 those kids kind of get it, you know, I mean 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.920 hanging around Brett Farve did that. I learned a lot 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.920 about Southern miss kids that way because he was always like, man, 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.080 we don't have anything, and this is way way back 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.560 and they still don't have as much. They still don't 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.280 have as much. But I'll tell you what, gritty kids, 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.880 tough kids. The Robinson kid goes out, he makes plays. 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.600 You throw him to football anywhere he's gonna find you're 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.119 right across the middle time point. Well, and one thing 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.119 I do worry about him is he relied on that 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.399 physicality to beat up Conference USA corners in the NFL. 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.400 That's not gonna work as much. He needs to add 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.879 a little more nuance to as well. Yeah, he's a 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.720 four or five nine guy. Here's what I mean he is. 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.960 He is a four or five nine guy. There's not 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.080 I mean, there's the quickness, explosive, this all that. It's 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.159 it's really more about physicality with him than it is 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:32.479 which is sure afthletic ability six zero zero five to twelve. Yeah, not, 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.840 I'm not I'm not bad. I'm not posting his nicknames 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.960 d block. Yes, that's bringing up what I like it. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.760 That's all I got though, Oh yeah, today, that's all 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.879 I got today? Really? Yeah? All right man, I mean 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.240 it's forty men, we're at twenty. He started five minutes 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.159 late today. Do you I mean, do you want to 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:52.840 go you want to go out? One more guy? Could 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.639 be one more the beast right here, just give me 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.520 one more guy. I can be one more guy. Just 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.239 give me. Just pick a guy out of there. Man, 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.120 all right, let's pick a guy. We've got dead We've 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:02.879 got dead air right here. That's it is. It is 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.760 interesting from Southern Miss. How many guys? Oh, sure, I didn't. 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.960
