1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Ye, 3 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: welcome back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with 4 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and Matt a couple of h on this segment, 5 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to go over a couple of NFL dot 6 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: com articles that are out there. The first one is 7 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: by Greg Rosenthal and he has the a f C 8 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: roster reset the conference hierarchy heading into the draft. As 9 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: we said, we're about three weeks out. Free agency is 10 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: largely but right the big dogs have landed. Yeah, it's 11 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: largely on hold now until after the draft. So what 12 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: you know, this is what based on what people's rosters 13 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: are right now. So he has two teams above everybody 14 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: else in the FC. Okay, that would be Kansas City 15 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: and Buffalo. I wouldn't argue that one bit. I'm not 16 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: sure Kansas City is better. I feel like they don't 17 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: have any tackles right now. That's a bit of an issue. 18 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: They're a powerhouse, don't get me wrong, but I think 19 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: there's a chance we could look back at Kansas City 20 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: and say, Wow, I'm surprised they only won one. You know, 21 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: like there's teams creeping up on arm. Things don't last 22 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: like don't last long if you think back about it, 23 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: like in yeah, the Packers win the super Bowl. They 24 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: beat the Steelers in the super Bowl. This is just 25 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: the first of many for Aaron Rodgers. And they've competed 26 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: pretty much every year. Rogers gotten hurt, a couple going 27 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: to be good, but they've been they've been good, they've 28 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: been competitive, but they haven't gotten back to that super Bowl. 29 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: And Rogers was that kind of talent, the same kind 30 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: of talent as my Homes without question, and the obvious 31 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: example I've never seen. I mean I'm forty seven years old. 32 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: The only quarterback that I've seen storm the league like 33 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes is Marino. I mean he was the same way, 34 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: different style, but setting records as rookies and things like that. Again, 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: super Bowl first, you know first, and then never again. 36 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: Montana and Marino are to go every year, one of them. 37 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: Kind of It's yeah, it's tough, so but the Bills 38 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: are legit. The Bills are legit, There's no doubt about that. 39 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: Um his grouping of teams, then after that he has 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: two teams at playoffs or bust Okay, Baltimore and Cleveland. 41 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: I think Baltimore's aren't that. I don't know that Cleveland 42 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: has I don't know that Baltimore is a better team 43 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: right now than they were last I think they're a 44 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,119 Speaker 1: worst team than they were. Their only upgrade has been 45 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: Zeitler Garden everywhere else, I mean, yeah, they've kept everything else. 46 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: The secondary is still the same, It's still very good. 47 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: They have been lost a lot. Yeah. Um, but guys, 48 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: they've lost a couple of Judean in new doc Way. 49 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: They didn't upgrade a wide receiver. Sammy Watkins has to play, 50 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: I mean, and even at that, and they don't. They 51 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: don't have any edg rushers, no, any addressers. No, they 52 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: do have a lot of second year players. Know, they 53 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: have a lot of draft guys that should get better. 54 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: And but I don't think this is the case. Has 55 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: the league well from a year ago, the league has 56 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: figured out their offense more than it did one year ago. 57 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: You know, it was not nearly his explosive last year's ahead. Um, 58 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: and it was Orlando Brown gonna be back? I mean, 59 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: are they gonna have to do He's still could go? Yeah? Um, 60 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: And you know you mentioned the Browns. We'll see, we'll see. 61 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I like what they've done. I think they're 62 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: a better team than when we saw it last. They 63 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: had some and you know there's well, I mean again 64 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: they get they've got some more holes to fill as well. 65 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: I think they need an addresher opposite Garrett. I think 66 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: they on need. I think that will be their first 67 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: round pick. It's funny, and now you have said that. 68 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: We did a segment with lanzer Line who mentioned twenty 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: four might be a good trade back spot. I could 70 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: see somebody wanting to come and get Jalen Phillips or 71 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: oh Way or Quitty pay to get ahead of Cleveland. Absolutely. Uh. 72 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: Then he has the teams listed his playoff contenders. It's Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, 73 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Obviously these are not in alphabetic order, but 74 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: the Titans, the Dolphins, the Patriots, the Broncos, the Raiders. 75 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that. It's a pretty big tier. 76 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: I might split that up into two tiers. It's a 77 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: big tier. And I think if you, I think you 78 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: look at that from the top four teams and in 79 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: the next four teams the Raiders. To me, yeah, your 80 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: top four teams are the Colt Steelers, Chargers, Titans. Yes, 81 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: and then the next the next Tiers Dolphins, Patriots, Broncos, Raiders. 82 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: Broncos and Raiders are clearly the last two for me, 83 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: and really Miami. I mean quarterback, Yeah, indie quarterback, you know. 84 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: I mean if if you can tell me Rivers or 85 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: Wentz Patriots quarterback, Patriots quarterback, Broncos quarterback, huge quarterback. Um. 86 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: I like the Chargers out of that group. I mean really, 87 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: if you look at it from a from a consistency standpoint, 88 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: the Steelers, Chargers, Titans, and Raiders are all pretty set 89 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: at quarterback. You know what they're gonna get from a thing? Yeah, right, 90 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: right right? You know, um, and then those other the 91 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: other four teams are all like question marks at the 92 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: biggest position on the on the field. The Steelers have 93 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of a parachute too with their defense. 94 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: You know, things go wrong, they can still they can 95 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: grind out type games and things like that. I think 96 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: that's the thing that there seems to be this feeling 97 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: among Steelers Nation that the Steelers defense has been gutted 98 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: in free agents, right right? I don't understand that. Yes, 99 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: but Dupree is a is a loss, but they knew 100 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: that was going to have. This has been prepared for right, 101 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: Cameron or I'm sorry, Steven Nelson. They cut him, they 102 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: caught him. They cut Vince william They cut Vince William. 103 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: Vince Williams played you know, fifty sixty of the snap 104 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: last year. They got Alululu back. That was one of 105 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: the ones that people were panicking over. He played the 106 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: snaps last year. Let's not forget It's not like he 107 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: was a full time players returns. Losing Mike Hilton to me, 108 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: you didn't have Mike Hilton for large stretches last year 109 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: on the field, and I'd rather have Sutton. I mean, 110 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: depth worries me and well, death is definitely, but death 111 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: was a concern last year. As I say, you and 112 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: I were very concerned, what's your biggest concern about the 113 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: Steelers going And we both said defense. Who's the who's 114 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: the backup inside linebacker, Who's the backup outside linebacker. These 115 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: are the same questions we're asking now. We still think 116 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: that the defensive line is the same group that was 117 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: there last year. They've got Lulu and they've got some 118 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: depth there. I think you're gonna get more out of 119 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: warm Warmly in his second year, and the other guys 120 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: played last year, so you have a better idea of that. 121 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to find a backup inside or inside backer, 122 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: maybe a starter, maybe a starter. You gotta find a 123 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: backup outside linebacker, a third safety. But these are six 124 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: These are things that they were going into last year 125 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: looking for and then all of a sudden, you know, 126 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: before trying they signed Sean Davis at the end of 127 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: at the end of training camp, they you know, they've 128 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 1: they've found ways to to fill those depth spots. There's 129 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: five or six veterans out there. I was looking the 130 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: other day that you can get really cheap right now, 131 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: like a name I text you signed Ryan Krrogan. Yeah, 132 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: three million, be your third outside, give us, give us 133 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: ten the fifteen rushes a game, and be a leader 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: in a young room. You know you've been around the block. 135 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: There's a lot of those type of guys that they'll 136 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: fill in those blanks. Um, I do think though you're 137 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: an extra game, it's gonna be there's gonna be tested. 138 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: There's but a defense that includes Hayward. What to it, 139 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: um Fitzpatrick, hay This this is still this is still 140 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: a very good defense, folks. I mean all your fantasy drafts. 141 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: This might be the first defense taken. They've led the 142 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: league in sacks with three years in a row. You 143 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: know that, they get takeaways. You know there there's a 144 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: lot there to like. Um. Yeah. So the fact that 145 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: for people thinking that Steelers defense is suddenly going to 146 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: go to being twentie in the league, get out of here. Mediocre. Yeah, 147 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: get out of here. It's still gonna be a top 148 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: ten defenseely be on that. Um. And I think the 149 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: Chargers are a team that's on. But I like what 150 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: they're doing a lot. Would you put money on the 151 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: Chargers winning the a f C West if you gave 152 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: me great odds? Um? Have they? They've closed the gap 153 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: though a little bit, and they you know it's yeah, 154 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: it's it's there. It's four to one or something like that. 155 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's a big payoff, I would put 156 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: money on the Charges to go the playoffs. And I 157 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: think they're one of the top seven. I think only 158 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: one comes out of the South. Yeah, I think a 159 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: South bag. I mean, when when you're the Colts and 160 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: you're betting on Carson Wentz, there's a reason why the Colts, 161 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: the Titans there in this grouping. Oh yeah, those are 162 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: your top two teams in the a f C South 163 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: And if they were in if they were in any 164 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: other division, I don't know if they make the playoffs. 165 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not predicting this, but I mentioned it 166 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: off the air. I might put ten bucks on the 167 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: Jags to win that division because you'll get some kind 168 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: of long gone They're not gonna finish last What if 169 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: went picks, you know, I mean, or yeah, or what 170 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: if wins gets hurt? What's their what's their backup plan? Yeah? 171 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: The kid they drafted last year, Yeah, he's not very good. 172 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: I think Tennessee took a big step back, and I 173 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: think Tennessee's got issues. Yeah. So, uh, then you're looking 174 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: at ull pill battle to the playoffs and they might 175 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,599 Speaker 1: as well, say, no chance in hell of making the playoffs. 176 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: That would be the Jets, Bengals, Jaguars, Texans. The Texans 177 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: are the worst of that group. I mean, we haven't 178 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: talked much about the Watson situation, but at a minimum, 179 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna be suspended, don't you think I would think? Yeah, 180 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna miss some time. And even even 181 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: if he plays. He's not happy there to begin with, 182 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: and he was remarkable last year, but I don't know 183 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: how they win three games at this point for him, 184 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: he almost has to play for the Texas this year 185 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: and put up good tape and say, okay, look, this 186 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: is all behind me. Now, this is who I am 187 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: on the field. You know, if he doesn't play a snap, 188 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna pick first. Yeah, if he plays a snap, 189 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: they might win five. Yeah, they might pick fifth if 190 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: he superman. They've signed a bunch of table scraps and 191 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: they're hoping to turn it into a five course meal, 192 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: and that's just not gonna happen. New coach. I mean, 193 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: it's bad. And the Bengals, you know, they've done some 194 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: good things, but they were starting they were starting from 195 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: so low that you know, they basically blew it up. 196 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: This is going in the right now. This is what 197 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: happens when you when you quote unquote blow it up, 198 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: just blow it up and start over. It's a nightmare. 199 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: It's a climb to get back out of that because 200 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: everybody else can sign free agents and draft people too. 201 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: It's not just you're not the only team in Miami 202 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: is starting to climb out of theirs. The brown have 203 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: finally climbed up. Miami's climbing out of it because they 204 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: got fortunate that some teams decided, Hey, we're gonna you know, 205 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: give you a the the Texans, they were lucky Texans. Yeah, 206 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: the Texas, Hey we're gonna give you seventeen draft picks 207 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: for you know this guyn't have a terrible year and 208 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: give you a third pick in the draft, which is 209 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: very helpful. I mean, they're very quarterback dependent too. Yeah, 210 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: you know, so it's interesting, but Jacksonville is a team 211 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: of that group I would have the highest hope for 212 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: for this year. First time head coach at the NFL went. Yeah, 213 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: it makes it makes me a little nervous when you 214 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: know you've never First of all, you've left every other 215 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: coaching job that you've ever had because it's been too stressful. 216 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna take on an NFL team where the 217 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: players you've got players who are making as much, if 218 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: not more than you, and you've got to try to 219 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: massage those egos. It's a different game. That is a 220 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: different game, and Lawrence could be the savior, um, but 221 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: he could also go out there in his first year 222 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning or Troy Aikman options had a really 223 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: rough first year, or even Joe Burrow Burrow was great. 224 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: How many games have Cincinnati win last year? Four before 225 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: he get killed? Yeah? Yeah, I mean, can you last 226 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: the whole seventeen and it's tough, it's tough. Yeah, interesting 227 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: though that that, Yeah, that's how they break out, how 228 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: things come out right now, we'll see what that's like 229 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: after the jury. Disagree with much of it though, no, 230 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, but again, the people saying that the Steelers 231 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: are are well, they have got no chance of making 232 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And this is seven of those sixteen or 233 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: going to the postseason. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure there 234 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: was last four you mentioned aren't gonna be one of them. 235 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: So seven of those twelves are going yeah, yeah, take 236 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: your chances. Daniel Jeremiah put out his mock Draft, Part three, 237 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: his third one. I want to throw something out there 238 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: because this more. Yesterday I was listening to Evan Silva's 239 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: podcast and the whole podcast was on making bets, draft beats, 240 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: draft prop bets, and they had this expert on who's 241 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: broken down mocks for like the last ten years, and 242 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: they asked him I'm like, who's the most predictive guy 243 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: out there? And they're like, used to be Mayock, Now 244 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: it's Jeremiah by a light years, you know, like and 245 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: and and DJ always says he mocks with his ears. 246 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: He does his fifty with his eyes. So this is 247 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: just what he's hearing. And there's a lot of proof 248 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: for these people that really put time into it that 249 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: if he's hearing these things, I bet he's not as 250 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: far off his most box he has. He does have 251 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: a little note here at the top of his mock. 252 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: He said, this mock is a projection of where I 253 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: believe players will go right. What he's hearing not necessarily 254 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: a reflection of my opinion as to where a players 255 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: should go right. I bet he has mac Jones going third, 256 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: but he has Mac Jones like his thirty second best players, right. 257 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: It's perfect example, right, Okay, So he has Trevor Lawrence one, 258 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson to Mac Jones three, trade Lance four. See, 259 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 1: I just did a mock to and I put a 260 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: quarterback there. I didn't do any trades. So I think 261 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: there's a real good chance or a chance Atlanta takes 262 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: a quarterback. I think it's a fifty fifty conversation, but 263 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 1: I think it's a better than fifty percent chance a 264 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: quarterback goes there. It's interesting as well, just this week, 265 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: both Fields and Lance said that they're going to have 266 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: a second pro day. Now, Lance didn't run in his 267 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: pro day, right, we know that he's We know that 268 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: he's fast. We just don't know how fast. Because Fields 269 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: did run and he was fast four four fast, Um, 270 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: so you may see, yeah, you may see that. So 271 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: that's why that's happening now, like all of a sudden 272 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: with with everybody saying that the Forts are gonna take 273 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: Jones three. Now you've got Fields and Lands going, well, 274 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to be five. I mean dj is 275 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: saying they're gonna take Jones the three, and Schefters saying 276 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna say Jones the three. Schefter is not wrong 277 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: very often, not about something like that, you know, Um, 278 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: but you know they're yeah, it's still up in the 279 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: air for them, they know, right, So you know, I 280 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: mean the difference between being the fourth quarterback take and 281 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: in the fifth quarterback taken could be ten spots could 282 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: be and certainly some money could be at least at 283 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: least five spots and again that's you know, with with 284 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: everything slotted in there, the difference between those five spots 285 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: is four or five million dollars and signing bonus, that 286 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. It's worth run another forty for that. Yeah, 287 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: I'll it's funny too. Mike Lombardi was also doubt in 288 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: he's been reporting the last couple of days that Washington 289 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: is really considering going all in for that four spot. 290 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they'd have to give up a lot. They 291 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: would have to give up a lot, but they don't 292 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: have quarterback on the quarterback and if it doesn't mean 293 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: if it's just draft picks, you don't have to give 294 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: up Chase Young. That would be a great landing. And 295 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: everybody was talking about Carolina, you know, potentially being that 296 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: team that moves up now that they've traded for Sam. Yeah, 297 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: Pound Salt. So now maybe you trade up with Carolina 298 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: to get that fifth quarterback potentially. I mean, once, if 299 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: if someone goes at four, I think a quarterback will 300 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: go for either to Atlanta, Denver. Any of the spots 301 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: between mentioned Landscoes fourth, you're on Jeremiah's, any of the 302 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: spots between five and eight could be a quarterback could 303 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: be as soon as Atlanta makes a deal or makes 304 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: a pick. So he has Cincinnati taken Kyle Pitts. I 305 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: would take Pitts over Soul. I don't know if you 306 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: agree with that. Chase would be my third pick of 307 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: those three first and he has Dolphins the Dolphins and 308 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: at six taking Jamar Chase. Understandable. Yeah, it's als those 309 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: teams to sit back and get a great non quarterback. 310 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: It's seven. The Lions take Justin's Fields and he says 311 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: this could be a trade spot with some teams picking 312 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: get ahead of Denver. Yeah, get ahead of Denver. And 313 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if Denver consited eight and get the 314 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: fifth quarterback. They are nine, there are nine, Okay, who's 315 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: eight Carolina? Carolina at eight takes Rashawn Slater. I say 316 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: Carolina sets up really well too, that they're gonna get 317 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: a great nine quarterback. How about that? He has Slater 318 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: going at eight, Seoul goes at nine to Denver. Okay, 319 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: I would take before whatever. I mean, he's had Slater 320 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: right ahead of him from the beginning. Uh. At Tenny 321 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: has the Cowboys taking Quitty pay m hm. You always 322 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: see certain there. But something on defense makes sense. Eleven 323 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: is Davante Smith to the Giants. I don't know that 324 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: they would do that. Well. I guess if Slate, if 325 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: Slater and Seul are gone, they just signed Kenny Alliday. Yeah, 326 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: I mean they have other needs. I think that's most 327 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: likely a no lineman, but maybe it's a defensive player. 328 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: I guess pay has gone on this one too. They 329 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: need edge. At twelve, Philadelphia takes certain first cornerback off. 330 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: I bet he goes earlier than that, but understandable. At thirteen, 331 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: the Chargers take J. C. Horne, little cornerbackground here. I 332 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: love where they said they could get Slater, they could 333 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: get Horn, they could get Spot because all those quarterbacks 334 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: are gonna go ahead of you're pushing some of these 335 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: other guys. Take the best one left, and they don't 336 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: need a wide receiver. But I think it wouldn't kill him, 337 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't you know? It wouldn't hurt them to get Smith 338 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: or Wad. Yeah, yeah, I'll take that for herbs would 339 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: fall right, We'll battle with the Chiefs the first one 340 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: to fifty. Yeah. At fourteen, he has the Vikings taking 341 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips. I think he's the best edge in this class. 342 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: You always see Vera Tucker there. But if he's a guard, 343 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: you can get a guard later. I mean, if he's 344 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: truly a guard, he's uh. At fifteen, he has the 345 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: Patriots taking Mike A. Parsons. I can see that. I 346 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: don't know if i'd pass on Wattle though, on them 347 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: they have no offense. We Parsons his kind of linebacker though, 348 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: Eye Tower, you know, big um. That would be a 349 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: good pick for the Giants. Who's that they've drafted once? 350 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: His Carl Banks? Yeah? Right? Uh. Sixteen he has the 351 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: Cardinals taking Waddle. I can see that. I think they'd 352 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: love Horn. I don't think he'll be there. They've got 353 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: all kinds. I mean, they've got receivers like crazy. They do. 354 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: But can you count on aj Green? No, I don't know. 355 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: You got Kirk, you got I mean they've drained, They've 356 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: got guys. They're a hard team to mock for ye 357 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: if Horns not there. Seventeen, the Raiders take Jeremiah Auoshe 358 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: Corramoa real quick. I actually my mock I had Ari 359 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: was gonna take a Newsom just their their corner needs 360 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: pretty big Awoso Cormore to the Raiders. That's right. I 361 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: had him go to Yeah, he's a hard one to slot, 362 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: but they need everything. Yeah. The Dolphins take Gregory Rousseau. Okay, 363 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm not big on her, so um he did the 364 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,479 Speaker 1: ten yards split on him was one point five seven seconds. 365 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: So even though he didn't run a great forty two strides, Yeah, 366 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: he's quick out of a stance and boom boom, he's 367 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: there with the long arms. Yeah, that makes that. That 368 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: adds up to why he gets so many sacks. I mean, 369 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: he's he's on you quick. It's like a big long 370 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: receiver that runs past cornerbacks. Well he only runs a 371 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: four or five. Yeah, but his he's taking three strides 372 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: and he's already you know, it's like Mike Evans, like 373 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't run great, but once he opens it up, 374 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: you see his five yard markers going by pretty quick. 375 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 1: He's striding through him. Uh, Washington. Then they takes Elijah Barratak. 376 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: That would be great. Yeah, I think Derris saw is 377 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: a chance there. You know, Jenkins, they could probably take 378 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: just best offensive lineman available and plug him in somewhere 379 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: on that front. The Bears take greg Newsome, fine, yeah, 380 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: I mean full what do they cut? They're kind of 381 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: a mess. The Colts then grabbed Derris saw they would 382 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: be absolutely static that the Titans he has taking Farley. 383 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: It makes sense because they've waited on Jeffrey Simmons in 384 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: the past and their history shows that they will do that. 385 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: Very very talented player, and they've restructured their total pass defense. 386 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: You know, Bud dupri and Dorry Jackson's gone, and you know, uh, 387 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: twenty three, he has the Jets taking a zaz Olari. 388 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: I think that will be age edge type guy. Yeah. 389 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: I mean you remember that's a Robert solid defense, bosh. 390 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: You know, that's how they were built in San Francisco. 391 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: I know you're not as high on him, but I 392 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: mean there's a lot to like. He's my top, like 393 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: true three four outside line visitor, because I don't think 394 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: the other guys are. I think the other guys that 395 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: you look at as those first round type guys are 396 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: more four three ends. The two Miami guys Quity Pay 397 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: Pay and Phillips are my favorite too, and they're more 398 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: for three y. Yeah, you know, I'm not sure. I 399 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: don't know. You might have said that my Bud coming 400 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: out too. I mean, it's his weight, but he was 401 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: he was. Yeah, he was de dropped into car like 402 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: I've I've been looking. I broke these down last night. 403 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: UH dropped in and put the rankings out today, my 404 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: final rankings on the edge guys. So I went through 405 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: and looked at how much everybody dropped, UH, and that 406 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,239 Speaker 1: was a determining factor for me. And he dropped more 407 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: than more than the other guys. Yeah, he's a little 408 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: lighter too, So no, I could see that be the 409 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: Jets play. But I don't think he's not gonna be. 410 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: I don't think the Steelers are going that route. In 411 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: the first round twenty four years, the Steelers taking Tevin Jenkins. 412 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: All the running backs are available. I think that plays 413 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: a factor into this whole thing. If there's three sitting there, 414 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: if there's if all three are sitting there, then you 415 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: start thinking, okay, maybe we can get one of the 416 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: three at fifty five, or if we have to trade 417 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: up a little bit and to start to get aggressive um. 418 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: But if none go ahead of them, then you go say, okay, 419 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: we can we can take that chance and just take 420 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: the best, the guy with the highest grade on position 421 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: that's hard to find a position in need. Yeah, and 422 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: they don't need a guard. But he could be. I mean, 423 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: if the Castro gets hurt in camp or something, he 424 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: could also be. He's probably gonna be one of your 425 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: top five. Right Somewhere right other than center is a 426 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: lot of value. That's the only problem. Other than center, right, 427 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: That's that's where I keep coming. That's why I I 428 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: just why I just don't go tackle because the need 429 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: the need is is is it center? Because you don't. 430 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you got b J. Finney. With all respect 431 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: of Tevin Jenkins, is he better than Banner or Chookes 432 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? I don't. I don't know. Maybe, but 433 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: he's a rookie. Uh it's twenty five. He has the 434 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: Jaguars taking Travon Mowrag. We've seen that a lot yea 435 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: and their safeties are awful. Last year six the Brown 436 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: steak jam and Davis. M hm. I wouldn't love to 437 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: see that. I think I always put an edge guy there. 438 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: But that makes sense, Yeah, it makes sense, he said, 439 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: go in the first round. At seven, the Ravens take 440 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: Jason Oa. M hm. Maybe yeah, they that doesn't really 441 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: fit there. I mean, DJ knows better than I just 442 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: used the worst work for the Ravens but they take 443 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: Terrell Suggs, who doesn't test well and you know, but 444 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: had a bunch of sack, like he does how to 445 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: get to the quarterback numbers, but he might know something. 446 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: The Saints at take a Sante Samuel Jr. They could 447 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: use a corner. It was that five corners now in 448 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: the first round, Yeah, which is maybe a little more 449 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: realistic than some of the other stuff that we've seen 450 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: coming up. Or three go twenty nine, the Packers take 451 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: Landon Dickerson. They lost their center. Yeah, I mean, do 452 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: you always the corner or receiver there, but I don't 453 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: know who that would be. Aaron Rodgers would like a 454 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: center to a good one for a while. Yeah. At 455 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: thirty the Bills take Joe try On. I can see 456 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: that Joe try And creeping back up into the first round. Yeah, 457 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: and they have enough up front they don't have to 458 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: play that guy a lot. They could be a designated 459 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: pass rusher. Bring them along slow. At thirty one, the 460 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs take Kelvin Joseph. Wow, that's six cornerbacks in the 461 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: first round. Like I had them taking Cosmi, which made 462 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: more sense to me. Corners are valuable, Yeah, and you 463 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: do have the Chargers in your division. Denver's got some 464 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: Denver's got guys. Yeah at thirty two. Then the the 465 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: Buccaneers finish off the first round with Elijah Moore. Wow, 466 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: Richard get Richard rich we get richer. Maybe then they 467 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: don't resign Antonio Brown. Um, yeah, I would think you 468 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: wouldn't at that point, and then they could go almost 469 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: any direction. Yeah. I mean they got all twenty two 470 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 1: starters back from from last year, so you know, and 471 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: in that situation, no running backs in the first round, 472 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: which would be fine if you're the Steelers, you would 473 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: like to see that. That would allow you to me 474 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: and all the backs are still available in that situation. 475 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: If you do go tackle, then you're going running back 476 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: in the second round for sure. And you may have 477 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: to take on those three. Yeah, and you may have to. 478 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: You may have the trade up to do it, or 479 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: you might not. I mean again, you have to wait 480 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: and see what happens there early in round two. You know, 481 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: see if you have to pull the trigger, Williams could fall. 482 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: Williams could fall, and one of the other two guy A. T. 483 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: N could fall or be you never know. Um, I 484 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: mean if you if it went this way, you pick four. 485 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: Three of those twenty three would have to be running backs, 486 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: and that I could easily come with twenty names that 487 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: could go. And then in round three, you're definitely probably 488 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: looking at a Kendrick Green type as yours your center. Possibly, Yeah, 489 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: I mean, could be good linebackers there too. There could 490 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: be good linebackers. But that's that's that's one of the problems. 491 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: Taking a tack on one right, Yeah, like you could 492 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: get tackles. You could get a Walker little in you know, 493 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: round two or three, you could get the brown kid 494 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: from from Northern Iowa. Northern Iowa. In round three, you're 495 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: not getting a great inside linebacker's running. You're not getting 496 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: a running back the only back. And I'm starting to 497 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: warm up to him a little. It's Tray Sermon. He's 498 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: definitely my four for the Steelers. I don't know if 499 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: he would be on a generic board with Carter and 500 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: Gainwell in those types. I could if you told me, 501 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: I can promise you Sermon will be there in the 502 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: third round, which I don't know that you can. I 503 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: don't think i'd use a two on him. I take 504 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: Ramunde Stevenson there too. Yeah, I think he's also in 505 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: that mold like if you miss out one of those 506 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: two in the third round, but I'm not using my 507 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: second on him, you know, once so once. Once you 508 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: get through round two, if none of those three guys 509 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: are there, you're you're taking a passion round two on 510 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: a running back position. Then you're really playing musical chairs, 511 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, and hope and hoping and hoping. You're waiting 512 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: around and for him to fall because it's a long way. 513 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: It's a long drop to go from fifty five done 514 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: seven it's thirty two picks. I mean, you look around 515 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: the league and say, six teams need running backs, and 516 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: three of them already took them. Probably safe, you can see. 517 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: But could somebody else just take one just because hey, 518 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: we're going to seventeen games this year, we need to 519 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: get somebody else. Buffalo grabs one our backup guys making 520 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: some money here we can get cheaper at the position, 521 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: or Miami or the Jets have a million picks and 522 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: we can't believe he's able take. We're just taking it's 523 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: a good value. So it's all it's all based on that. Again, 524 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 1: that's that's largely why I'm kind of shying away from tackle. 525 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: The tackle position here. I don't like the ripple effects. 526 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: It's nothing on Steven Jenkins, right, good football player, and 527 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: first round tackles make a lot of economic sense. I mean, 528 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: you don't want to have to pay those guys. It's 529 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: just I'm not sure that that works out as well 530 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: for the big picture draft. Yeah, well we will do 531 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: our Mark Draft, our Friday Lock Draft right after this, 532 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: but we're going to take a break here where that'll 533 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: do it.
