1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome to Move the Sticks DJ here 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: as we march towards the NFL Scouting Combine. It's our 4 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: annual conference call. So this is something I do each 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: and every year, hop on a conference call with media 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: all over the country and an answer draft questions about teams, 7 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: about players, about prospects and where they could land and 8 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: good fits, all that good stuff. So it is a 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: it's a it's a great opportunity to just get the 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: draft cranked up here with a lot of conversation. So 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: each and every year we take parts of that call 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: and we produce it into our Move the Sticks podcast. 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: So that's what we have for you today. I hope 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: you guys enjoy this as we dig deep into the 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three NFL Draft. Our first question comes from 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: Justin Rogers. J. I think you know the Lions stick 17 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: at number six. The perception is positional value wise rushers, 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: the way they would go. I think that's the way 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: you had him go in your most recent mocks. I'm 20 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: curious if you can maybe tell me the difference the 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: separators between Miles Murphy, Tyree Wilson, and I guess you 22 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: want to include him in that conversation, van Ness. Yeah, 23 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: for me, it would be Tyree Wilson, you know, by 24 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: a pretty significant margin. I think there's you know, there's 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: a lot of buzz around him around the league. I 26 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: think the league has it with him and Anderson a 27 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: lot closer than people might think. He's got just freakish 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: wingspan and burst and the ability kind of use those 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: long levers to get home. I think he's a really 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: talented rusher. I think he's a big time athlete. Unfortunately, 31 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna get see him do anything 32 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: at the Combine coming off the injury that he's had, 33 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: so probably have to wait till the Pro day on 34 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: that one. But for me, it would be him. Miles 35 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: Murphy is a tricky one because it's all in there. 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: He has it all in his body. He hasn't got 37 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: it all figured out just yet. But between his kind 38 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: of his combination of length and explosiveness, YE think there's 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: there's more there. I think he's going to develop more 40 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: as a rusher. I don't think he has a great 41 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: plan at this point in time. And then Vanes is uh. 42 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna end up moving him up in 43 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: my next update of my top fifty. I think I 44 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: have him at twenty two right now. Again, it was 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: curious when you're watching because he doesn't start, and I 46 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: know a lot of people are sitting there going how 47 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: in the world you can take a guy in the 48 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: top ten. He didn't start Iowa, but I had a 49 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: chance to do my homework on that. And look, they 50 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: that's just the way their program runs. They're gonna run 51 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: with the older upperclassmen, the leaders that have been in 52 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: those spots. They're just gonna they're gonna roll those guys 53 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: out there with starters, even though everybody knows this was 54 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: their best guy. But he's got big time, big time 55 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: explosiveness and power. Kind of a bowl in a china 56 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: shop again, somebody who's just figuring out. But when you 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: watched him against the best tackles he played against, he 58 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: got after him. So I think that is closer to 59 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: me what I'm getting at it is going to be 60 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: Murphy and Vaness is pretty close to me. I would 61 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: have Tyree Wilson ahead of those two guys. Next question 62 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: comes from Dan Whiderer. Did Ge, Thanks for this. Obviously, 63 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: the draft starts with the Bears and they're in an 64 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: intriguing spot here to try to maximize what they do 65 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: with that number one pick. If you were in Ryan 66 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: Pole's issues, what would you map out as kind of 67 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: your plan a best case scenario, and how would you, 68 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: when considering trades back, figure out where to draw your 69 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: line on how far you'd be willing to go down. Well, 70 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that because we did a little 71 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: homework on this, my buddy Jack and research. We've been 72 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: working on this for the last couple of days and 73 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: he kind of spelled it out for me. Here. If 74 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: you look at those trades trade ups for quarterbacks, usually 75 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: when you look at the trade chart, it's about one 76 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty percent give or take in terms of 77 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: the trade chart value. You have to pay a premium 78 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: if you're going to come up for a quarterback, which 79 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: is great news there for the Bears. So when you 80 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: kind of you look at some of those previous trades, which, 81 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: by the way, when you look at the names of 82 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks that teams have traded up for since twenty eleven, 83 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: it's Trey Lance, Sam Darnold, Mitchell Trubisky, Jared Golf, Carson 84 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: Wentz and g three. So you know, in other words, 85 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: don't be so concerned if you're the Bears about trading 86 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: off of a Hall of Famer and moving back. It 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: hasn't been a great list over the last few years. 88 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: But when you look at those points, here would be 89 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: the three trades. If we're gonna look at those teams 90 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: as to the Texans for the Colts and nine the Panthers, 91 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: here would be how that would shake out on the 92 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: trade chart. So if you're just gonna go back to 93 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: pick number two, you're gonna get the second pick, the 94 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: thirty third pick in next year's two. That would be 95 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: the trade you'd have there with the Texans. If you 96 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: go to four, you would have you'd have to give 97 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: up a fourth round pick this year or sorry, a 98 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: fourth round pick in twenty twenty four. As well as 99 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: you're the number one overall pick, you would get number 100 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: four overall, number thirty five overall, and a first round 101 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: pick in twenty four and a second round pick in 102 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: twenty four. And then if you want to go all 103 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: the way to nine, you're gonna get the ninth pick. 104 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna get number thirty nine pick, and you're gonna 105 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: get a first round in twenty four, and you're gonna 106 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: get a first round in twenty five. So when I 107 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: look at all those halls, and I understand you could 108 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: be trading off of the opportunity to get one of 109 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: the premier defensive players there at two or four. If 110 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: you're asking me what I would do, I would be 111 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: hoping the Carolina Panthers want to pay that price and 112 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: I'll go to nine and I'll take all those first 113 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: round picks and let's go try and fill some of 114 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: these needs. So those are the three teams I think 115 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: that will be in the mix, and those are the 116 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: three options. Next question comes from Jonathan Alexander DJ. Thanks 117 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: for doing this. I wanted to kind of piggyback, um 118 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: kind of off that question kind of the Texans and Texans. 119 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: Of course, you know, a lot depends on what the 120 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: Bears do. Let's say they stay padded at number two. 121 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: Is CJ? Do you believe Bright Young and CJ. Stroud? 122 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: Is that much of a drop off it would that be? 123 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: Consider How do you feel I feel about that as 124 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: a Constellation Prize if they ended up being CJ. Stroud 125 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: In celebration. Yeah, I'd be fine with it. I mean, 126 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: I have I have Bryce Young. Um, I like Bryce 127 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: Young better on the tape, but I think CJ. Stroud's 128 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: a really good player. And if the price, if you're 129 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: not comfortable with that price to go up, you know, 130 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: to get to that number one pick, staying where they 131 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: are and getting CJ. Strout, I'd feel just fine about that. 132 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: I think he's just a pure thrower. You know. The 133 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: big question with him, it's been talked about, was okay, 134 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: not a lot of off schedule, not a lot of playmaking, 135 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden you see the semi 136 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: final game and you're like, dude, where's where's this been? Um, 137 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: he showed you he has that ability. And the old 138 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: scouting adages if you can do it once, you can 139 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: do it. So you know he does have he does 140 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: have that ability. Now, I think Bryce is just a 141 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: little He's a little bit more of a playmaker to 142 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: me consistently when you watch him, I just love his 143 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: instincts and feel his ability maneuver within the pocket I 144 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: think is better. So I think Bryce Young is a 145 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: better player, but I would not be I would not 146 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: be totally bummed if you sat there at two and 147 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: ended up with CJ. Stroud. Our next question and comes 148 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: from Mike Chappell. This is sort of piggyback off of 149 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: the last question the Colts sitting at four in your mind, 150 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: is there a big enough cat between you're one with 151 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,559 Speaker 1: Bryschan and Stroud and leave us that you really can't 152 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: sit there and four and get what's left? Or do 153 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: you need If you believe Rysheng is the guy, do 154 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: you go get him? Yeah? I think if you have 155 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: the conviction. I think if you're the Colts right now 156 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: is they've been on this veteran carousel, as you know, 157 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: for so long. They've got to get off of it. 158 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: So if you have conviction of who that guy is, 159 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: I think we're their position as an organization. I think 160 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: it makes sense for them to be maybe more aggressive 161 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: than Houston would be. If you have that conviction, just 162 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: go up there and get him. You know, four there's 163 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: a lot that can happen. You know, you might have 164 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: one that you love, one that you really like, and 165 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: then it drops off and nobody knows what order that's in. 166 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: But I would not be comfortable. I would not be 167 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: sleeping well at night if I was just going to 168 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: sit and hold tight there at number four. Next question 169 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: comes from dabercat heym saw you had the Lions taking 170 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson at eighteen. You can you explain why Richardson? 171 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: You know, why a quarterback? I guess when golf is 172 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: coming off the season he had and then part two 173 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: of that. You know, I've had had some fans, I 174 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: guess sort of wonder why Richardson goes at high He's 175 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: obviously got the rock traits, but maybe he's a little 176 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: bit of a developmental player like Malik Willis. Some people say, so, 177 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: why would he not slide down the draft a little 178 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: bit further? I guess, well, I I guess I can 179 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: answer it this way. He's not going to be there 180 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: when it's all said and done, when the Lions pick 181 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: with their second pick, so it's not gonna be a 182 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: problem and making calls just around the league. The best 183 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: way to do, you know, the quarterback conversation is talk 184 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: to the teams that don't need one, and then you'll 185 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: get kind of an accurate field just how they evaluate him, 186 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: what they think. And Anthony Richardson is the you know, 187 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: the second quarterback for several teams that I talked to, 188 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: and and you can look at the numbers and you 189 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: know it doesn't look great on paper, and you look 190 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: at the accuracy and the set and the other He's 191 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: got e leady lead arm strength. He's a rare aff 192 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: You don't see quarterbacks, you know, running away from LSU 193 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: with adr touchdown runs like. He's got big time, big 194 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: time ceiling, big time ability. And you know you can 195 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: find the games if you want to fall in love 196 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: with the Anthony Richardson, you pop on Utah, you think 197 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: he's the first pick in the draft. Even Missouri. He 198 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: makes some big time plays in that game, so you know, 199 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: I know it's a little bit of a roller coaster. 200 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: I know he hasn't played a ton, but teams are 201 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: starting to look at some of these quarterbacks as lottery tickets, 202 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: and this one has the biggest payout. So that's why 203 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: I think you're going to see Richardson go pretty high. 204 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: The reason I had him there with the Lions is 205 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: I think sometimes when you have that those two picks, 206 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: I almost you know, I say it's a luxury because 207 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: you're trying to get good players. But when you look 208 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: at the landscape of the NFL right now and you 209 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: look at you know, the high high end quarterback play. 210 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: You know, this gives you an opportunity to, you know, 211 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: take a shot on one of those guys who could 212 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: be that. You know, he's not at that level right now, 213 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: but ceiling wise, with him and Jared Goff, his ceilings 214 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, immensely higher. Jared's is a s solid, steady 215 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: player right now. He's playing winning football. But I think 216 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: there is a ceiling on him. This. You know, with 217 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, you don't have a ceiling. So that's why 218 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: I think you'll see him go. But I don't think, 219 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, and making just calls over the last couple 220 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: of days, I don't even think he'll get there. Next 221 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: question comes from Mike kay Hey, DJ, I wanted to 222 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: ask you about a local kid from North Carolina, Nick 223 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: SALDIVII from Old Dominion. We saw him move inside to 224 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: center and guard during the Senior Bowl. I was just 225 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: curious where do you envision him playing in the league 226 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: and where do you think his ranges from a from 227 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: a draft standpoint. Yeah, I liked him as a player 228 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: and kind of reminded me of of Max Mitchell, you know, 229 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: coming out last year and people kind of wonder what 230 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: Max would do where he would play, was he physically 231 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: strong enough? And when he got out in the field 232 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: for the Jets, he played pretty well. So you know, 233 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: I think he can still hold up at tackle. Um. 234 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: I think he's got quick feet. I think he can bend, 235 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: he plays under control. I think there's gonna be times 236 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: just at that height if you're inside, I think he's 237 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: gonna get a little high and he's gonna get moved. 238 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: But he can sink, he can bend, and I think 239 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: he could play out on the edge. So I still 240 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: like him at tackle. I want to continue to see 241 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: him get stronger. But in terms of the range, I 242 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: have him like in the third round, and you know, 243 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: when you're talking offensive lineman with him in a pretty 244 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: good class of in terms of the depth, maybe not 245 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: the top end guys, third, fourth round or probably be 246 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: the range i'd put him. Next question comes from Ben 247 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: voland what's up, Daniel. Thanks for doing this man, no problem. 248 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: Very intrigued by your comment on the tight end position. 249 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Tell me why you love this year's tight end class. 250 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: How many could you see going in the first round. 251 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: The Patriots have the fourteenth pick. Is that too high 252 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: for a tight end? Please break it down for me. Yeah, 253 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: it's not too high for me. In terms of the 254 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: number of guys I can kind of count him up here. 255 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: So let me just go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. 256 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: I have eleven tight ends that I have top three 257 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 1: round grades on, which is a ridiculous number. It is 258 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: just a really really good group. And to me, I 259 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: know he's coming off of an injury right now, and 260 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: I know he's kind of more of a of a 261 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: flex tight end, But Dalton Kincaid from Utah is I 262 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: think he's a big time player. I think he's one 263 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: of He's one of my favorite players to watch in 264 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: this draft. I think he's one of the best players 265 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: in the draft. He's just sudden in everything that he does. 266 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: He separates, he's outstanding after the catch. You know, he 267 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: can win on contact over the middle of the fields. 268 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: He's really really good after the catch. You know, as 269 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: a blocker, he's gonna more shield you in wall off. 270 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't like, you know, when you compare guys to 271 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: all time great players, but just in his movement stuff 272 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: he moves, he kind of looks like Kelsey, just the 273 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: way he moves in and out of breaks. He's a 274 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: really really good player. I think he's you know, I 275 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: really like zach Ertz when he was coming out. The 276 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: year he was coming out. I think he's a better 277 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: version of zach Ertz. So he's up there. You've got Mayor, 278 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: who is just an all around tight end. Not going 279 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: to be real dynamic at a Notre Dame, but he 280 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: is kind of the king of the combat catches. He's 281 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: got a good feel on option route, just keeping guys 282 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: on his back and kind of walling him off and 283 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: making plays. But a good overall tight end, good blocker. 284 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: Darnell Washington is massive from Georgia. He's like playing with 285 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: a sixth offensive lineman in the run game, and he's 286 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: still developing and learning in the past game. You know, 287 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: I think there's more there. Obviously, they had the best 288 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: tight end of the country. They're in Bowers, who's just 289 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: an absolute freak show. So he doesn't get as many 290 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: balls as he would in another offense, but he's he's 291 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: really intriguing. Musgrave from Oregon States can probably run in 292 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: a low four fives at two hundred and fifty five pounds, 293 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: he could go in the first round. I mean, then 294 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: you just you start going through the list. Laporta from Iowa, 295 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: Tucker Craft from South Dakota State, you get Davis Allen 296 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: from Clemson's intriguing, Payne Durham from Purdue, Schoonmaker from Michigan, 297 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: Strange from Penn State, Wiley from Cincinnati. There's those are 298 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: the eleven guys it is. It is a really really 299 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: good group. Next question comes from Jordan Rodrigue. Hey, DJ, 300 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: thank you so much for doing this with us today. 301 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: Kind of a niche question, rams really, as they evaluate 302 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: um their backup quarterback situation, who are some guys that 303 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: you think are good schematic fits but also fits in 304 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: consideration with what Sean mcbay's traditionally done at quarterback. Yeah, 305 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: there's some interesting guys. You know, it's kind of you know, 306 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: you look at it, say, okay, who fits from a 307 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: traditional standpoint, and then you know who could be kind 308 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: of somebody to be fun to play with with a 309 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: creative coordinator and Sean McVay. I really like Hannon Hooker. 310 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: I think he's a good player. I think he can 311 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: do everything that Sean McVay wants to do. I think 312 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: he's you start with accuracy and decision making. You know, 313 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: he can move around, so you're going to be able 314 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: to use all that stretch boot. He's going to be 315 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: very comfortable doing that. He can think the game really well. 316 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: You know. Well, we'll see how high he ends up 317 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: going coming off of the injury. I think he would 318 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: have been a first round pick if he doesn't get hurt. 319 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: Even with the age. I know, people you know, talk 320 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: about how old he is, but he's a really really 321 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: solid player. I think would be a great fit in 322 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: that system. And you look at other guys that can 323 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: kind of you know, would be maybe a little bit 324 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: later on. Um to me would probably be be somebody 325 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: like a you know, Jared Hall, would would be a 326 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think he'll probably end up going the 327 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: fourth or fifth round. But you know, good athlete, can move, 328 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: Um can really drive the ball. Um you know, has 329 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: some things he can work on with his with his footwork. 330 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: I know, I'm sure they've been working on that and 331 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: lead up to the draft. It gets a little too 332 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: bouncy at times. Um, but he's somebody that's kind of 333 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: an intriguing project to me that you could you could 334 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: keep an eye on in that type of area of 335 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: the draft. Next question comes from Bob McManaman. Thanks DJ 336 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: for doing this. Uh. I saw you pick the tyree 337 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: to go three to the Cardinals. But given the fact 338 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: that it's a brand new staff from top to bottom 339 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: get management, do you think, um, they might go in 340 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: a different route. And if Anderson and the Georgia defensive tackler, 341 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: there is that still way way in play. UM, look 342 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: to me the way I have him stacked, like who 343 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: you know? I think Jayalen Carter is the best player 344 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: in the draft from Georgia, and I think that Will 345 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Anderson's the second best player. But I know I'm talking 346 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: to people around the league, and when I do mock drafts, 347 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: you're trying to get, you know, just a feel and 348 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: you know the potential outcomes there and not just doing 349 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: the same exact thing every single time. And I know 350 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: that there's teams that have it really really close, and 351 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: some actually even prefer Tyry Wilson to Anderson just because 352 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: of the size and the length and the attributes that 353 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: he has there. But you know, if you're asking me, 354 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be trading off of either those two guys 355 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: when we look at Jayalen Carter will Anderson. I probably 356 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to get out if I were them as 357 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: desperate as they are for defensive lineman. And I think 358 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: those are the two best guy So kind of a 359 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: two parter there, you know, what would I do? That 360 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: was what I would do. I think one of those 361 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: two guys um and then um, you know, but I 362 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: do want to make sure that Tyry Wilson kind of 363 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: gets in the mix. I remember doing a similar thing 364 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: last year, trying to trying to alert everybody that this 365 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker from Georgia, you know, like, hey, just know 366 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: who he is and be aware and don't be surprised. 367 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: So that's, uh, that's kind of the same thing, same 368 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: thing I'm doing here, same formula. Next question comes from 369 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt. Daniel, appreciate your time. Obviously a lot of 370 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: moving parts in Tennessee. When you look at their knees 371 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: and you look at the board, what's maybe a best 372 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: case scenario for them at number eleven? Well, I mean, 373 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: obviously tackles is gonna be a you know, a glaring 374 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: need for them. If you're asking me absolute best best 375 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: case scenario, I'd say somehow Scronsky gets there from Northwestern, 376 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: and I think he can play tackle. Um, you know, 377 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: I think he could be an unbelievable guard as well. 378 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: But Peter Scronsky would be my dream scenario. And while 379 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen, you start getting all 380 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks coming off the board, we end up getting 381 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: four go and you have those top defensive players. You know, 382 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: maybe it's not the craziest thing in the world that 383 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: somehow he would make it to him, but he reminds 384 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: me a lot of Elijah Vera Tucker. Remember with Vera 385 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: Tucker last year, the talk when he was coming out 386 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: into that draft was is he a guard? Is he 387 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: you know? Is he a tackle? And it turns out 388 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: he can do whatever the heck you want him to do. 389 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: He's really really good. So Scronsky would be my best 390 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: case scenario. And then you know, you're looking at receiver 391 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: as another as another need there. I don't think it's 392 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: a great receiver draft, but I really do like Jordan Addison. 393 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: You know, I think the one reason that might not 394 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: happen is because he's kind of similar to Robert Woods. 395 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: So if that wasn't wasn't what they were looking for. 396 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: If they wanted to get bigger there than I think 397 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: you could look at you know, TCU has Johnston, who's 398 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: a big, fast, physical kid. Oh, we'll go back to 399 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: Mark Podish. Thanks Djum. You indicated earlier that the Bears 400 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: could face a tough decision trading down and get it 401 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: and trading basically out of a Carter or Anderson. I guess, 402 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: just how can you kind of break down Carter as 403 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: a prospect? Is he worth the number one overall? And 404 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: also how type of decision would it be for the 405 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: Bears to trade out of that? What would their options 406 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: best options be if they traded too far down to 407 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: get Carter and or Anderson? Yeah, I mean I would 408 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: probably go back to the same guy just talked about, 409 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: would be Scuronsky. I mean this is, you know, as 410 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: bad as the Bears defenses, you've got to give justin 411 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: fields some help here going forward. So if they traded 412 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: all the way down to nine, I would think they're 413 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: probably trading theirself into the you know, their choice dealer's 414 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: choice of offensive alignement at that point in time. And yeah, look, 415 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: it would be hard to trade away from those top 416 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: two defensive players because I think they're really really good. 417 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: But if you could just get the just the sheer 418 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: haul of picks that could serve you well into the future. 419 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: I think I would go that route and probably would 420 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: switch me from the defensive side to the offensive side 421 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: with that first pick that they me going after there. 422 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: In terms of Carter is a player, man, he's a 423 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: you know, it's overused, I guess, but I don't know 424 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: how else to describe him. He's just a freak show. 425 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: When you're watching him, it just looks like he works 426 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: at a different speed than everybody else on the field. 427 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: The change of direction. You know, he can kind of 428 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: teleport from one gap to the next. And you're like, 429 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how he how he got there, but 430 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: you've got no chance. Um. The offensive line coach at 431 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: George's is a good buddy of mine and Stacy Searles, 432 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: And when I asked him about Jalen Carter, and he said, 433 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: when he when he comes to practice and doesn't want 434 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: to get blocked, he's not getting blocked. I mean, he's 435 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: just he's a he's a unique player. If you want 436 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: to see, you know, the athleticism, go uh read my 437 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: buddy Bruce Feldman's article about him and look at the 438 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 1: dunk that he posted inside the article and you can 439 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: see him with windmill dunkin over three hundred pounds. So 440 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: he's a he's a he's an absolute freak. I think 441 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: he's better than Quinny Williams coming out, and I loved 442 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: Quinn and Williams. So that's a type of player you're getting. 443 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: Next question cons one Antoine Staley. Hey, DJ, how you doing. 444 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: I know with the Jets you had them taking Roderick 445 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: Jones at number thirteen. Just talk about why you think 446 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: that'll be a good fit and also some other positions 447 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: the Jets might need in the draft as well. Sure, 448 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: when you look at Broderick Jones, I think his best 449 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: football is still ahead of him. He's an incredibly strong, 450 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: he's incredibly athletic. What he can do in the second 451 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: level stuff and the run game as well as in 452 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: the screen game is outstanding. You know, he sets a 453 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: little bit a little bit of a unique set where 454 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: he sets a little bit flat, so there are times 455 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: where guys can can get up field on him, but 456 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: then he shows you the ability to recover and hang 457 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: in there. So you know, maybe a little top heavy 458 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,239 Speaker 1: at times, he gets a little over aggressive. He's pretty uh, 459 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, he's a pretty physical player. But I think 460 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot to really like about him. I think 461 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: you could play either side. I think he played right tackle, 462 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: he could play left tackle. That would be a you know, 463 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: that's why I had them going there. I think could 464 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: be a really good fit. In terms of other needs, Um, 465 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: you know, still continuing to get more firepower. I know 466 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: they signed all those tight ends last year, but I 467 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: still don't think they have a real dynamic difference making 468 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: tight end. I think they got some good players, but 469 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: that would be uh, you know, that'd be something I'd 470 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: be trying to find as well as you know, we'll 471 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: see what they're going to do at the center position 472 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: going forward. Um, I would you know, I wouldn't mind 473 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: seeing them get one of those young centers in this draft. 474 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: It's a it's a pretty good group of interior offensive lineman. 475 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: Next question comes from Joe Rudder. Yeah, Hi, Daniel, I 476 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: saw in your last mark you had Tennessee tackle going 477 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: to the Steelers and any others at that spot that 478 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: you could see them taking at that position or could 479 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: they go defensive line or corner? Yeah, I think when 480 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: you're you're looking at. I think those are some you know, 481 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: you just nailed the three spots. I think when you're 482 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: looking at the offensive line options, if you're looking at tackle, 483 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, Darnell Wright is the one that I put there. Um, 484 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: you know, if they if they ended up waiting on tackle, 485 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: I think that Matthew bergeron could be one from Syracuse 486 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: that maybe they take a thirty two. There's some good 487 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: interior options. Steve a Vila from TCU O Cyrus, Torrence. 488 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: I think those guys are just plug and play. I mean, 489 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: it's not gonna you know, you're not gonna win the 490 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: press conference, you know, maybe not gonna win the draft 491 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: party by taking those two guys. But I think they're 492 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: just plug and play, you know, solid starters immediately. So 493 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: any combination of those three guys, and then when you 494 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: look at the corner position, I mean I would love 495 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: it just for for multiple reasons. But it would be 496 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: fun if if Porter were to get there. I don't 497 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: think he'll fall that far. Joey Porter junior, Christian Gonzalez 498 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 1: I think would probably be gone as well. Be shocked 499 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: if if Witherspoon from Illinois were there. But if any 500 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: of those guys somehow managed to get down there, those 501 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: would be easy run the card up for the Steelers. 502 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: Next question comes from Aaron Wilson. Hey, DJ, thanks for 503 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: doing this. Probably, DJ, when you look at Bryce and 504 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: we've had quarterbacks of his size be very successful in 505 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: this league, what are some reasons just watching him that 506 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: you think that maybe his lack of stature may not 507 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: matter in the NFL. Yeah, No, I was good to 508 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: see her in. Look, it's still gonna be a concern. 509 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: I think you're always going to be, you know, a 510 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: little bit nervous just about the durability because of the frame. 511 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: But you know, last I was told as of yesterday 512 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: he was right around two hundred pounds, So I think 513 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: he's getting close to two hundred pounds. I think he'll 514 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: probably show up at the combine and be two hundred pounds. 515 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: So I know some of the rumors are out there 516 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: he's gonna be one hundred and eighty pounds. That's not 517 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: you know, he's not gonna be that. We'll see how 518 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: tall he is. But you know, he's he's got such 519 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: good awareness and feel I think he'll be able to 520 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: protect himself because of that. He's uh, you know, in 521 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: terms of the ability, it's all there. I mean every 522 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: type of throw you want to make. He can drive it, 523 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: he can layer the ball, he can make plays on schedule, 524 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: off schedule. The talent is exceptional. You know, you talk 525 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: to people that have been at Alabama for a long 526 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: time and they'll say, you know what, we'll see how 527 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: it tras inslates, but this is the best football player 528 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: that we've been around. Like he's he is outstanding. So 529 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 1: you're going to have to take a risk with any 530 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks. It's just a different type of risk. 531 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: You know, some might be out, they're going to continue 532 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: to develop. The accuracy's going to improve, where the instincts 533 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: are going to get better. With Bryce, you know, the 534 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: gamble is just the durability. Is he going to be 535 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: able to physically hold up? And you know that's the 536 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: gamble I would take when you stack all these guys up. 537 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: You know, when you talk to people there, give you 538 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: one example. You know, they said they'll know he'll show 539 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: up on Monday. They'll give you on Sunday after a 540 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: game on Saturday, they'll have a game plan already for 541 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: the next week. And normally the kids would come in 542 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: and you'll start on Monday and you'll start digging into that. 543 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: And they said he would show up on Monday with 544 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,719 Speaker 1: a list of questions and suggestions of how to do 545 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: this with this protection, and how you can attack this 546 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: coverage with this, And he said a lot of times 547 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: they would incorporate his ideas. And it's this stuff he's 548 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: doing on Sunday, the day after a game. So the 549 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: wiring is pretty unique and pretty special. Next question comes 550 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: from Dave's and Garo. Hey, Dju, the Eagles have spent 551 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: so long without taking a cornerback in the first round, 552 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: just wondering if there are reasons why this year could 553 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: buck that trend and why Witherspoon might be a good 554 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: candidate for it. Well, I think, yeah, I just think 555 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: Witherspoon's a stud um and I think having been in 556 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: that building and seeing you know, Asante Samuel there um, 557 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: I think you could make an easy, easy comparison there 558 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: with just a playmaking ability to take the ball away. 559 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: You know, We'll see what Bradbury ends up doing in 560 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: the offseason. I imagine he's probably going to get paid 561 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: um somewhere, So if they don't resign him, there's a 562 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, there's going to be a need there as well. 563 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: There's a zillion free agents they've got to navigate around. 564 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: But that's one I would I would think would be 565 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: hard to retain. And I think, you know, if you're 566 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: if you're where the Eagles are right now, you're your 567 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 1: thought process going into a draft is not It's not 568 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: the division anymore, it's not even the conference. It's what 569 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: do we have to do to win a Super Bowl? 570 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: And what do we have to do to get off 571 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: the field when we're going to have to go up 572 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: against you know, Patrick Mahomes or whoever else is coming 573 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: out of the AFC, be it, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, 574 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: you know, those are the guys you're gonna have to 575 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: go through to win a championship. And in that game, 576 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: they couldn't get off the field. And I, you know, 577 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: I think they've got some really good pieces up front, 578 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: and I think finding somebody on the back end that 579 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: could take the ball away that that could help their 580 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: cause as well. So that's that's kind of my thought 581 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: process there. Everything's about winning a Super Bowl and trying 582 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: to beat these elite quarterbacks. And you do that with 583 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: pass rushers and corners, next question comes from Ben Swanson, DJ, 584 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: thank you for the time. The Broncos obviously don't pick 585 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: until the third round. How do you feel that you 586 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: know there are areas of need matchup with the uh 587 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: the the depth in this draft that you kind of 588 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: talked about. Yeah, you know, when you look at the 589 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: Broncos and look at the directions that they you know 590 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: could be looking to go. I think oh, line D 591 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: line obviously would be the places where you start. I 592 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: think from an offensive line standpoint, I feel pretty good 593 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: about the interior and some of the depth that you 594 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: could find in that portion of the draft. I think 595 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: Edge Rush is is actually a pretty good group as well. 596 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: Kind of pulling up this, pulling up this list and 597 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: guys that I think could kind of be in that 598 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: type of range. You know a kJ Henry from Clemson 599 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: would be one, Andre Carter from Army. You know, Zach 600 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: Harrison Ohio State, Dylan Horton from TCU, like those types 601 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: of guys. Those are good players and I think those 602 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: guys are probably going to be in that third fourth 603 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 1: round range. You know, Fosky would be another one. We'll see. 604 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna test, He's gonna test really well. So he 605 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: might test his way out of that range and up 606 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: a little bit higher. But I think when you're looking 607 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: at offensive lineman edge rushers, I think that's a you know, 608 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: it's not it's not bad. I think you'll be pleasantly 609 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: surprised with the quality of the depth that's going to 610 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: still be there in the third and fourth round in 611 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: this draft. Next question comes from Stooge Jackson in DJ. 612 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: Thanks for the time this morning. Curious what you see 613 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: as the Ram's biggest needs are. And you know, based 614 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: on the way you have the first round of folding 615 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: in that mouth draft as well as your top fifty, 616 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: you know what some potential options might be for them 617 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: towards the top of the second round there. Yeah, so 618 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: Rams picking thirty six needs wise, you know, continue to 619 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: look at edge offensive line wise would be another area 620 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: that I would keep an eye on those linemen that 621 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: I touched on a little bit earlier. You know, I 622 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: like Cody Mauk to me is it's a really good 623 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: player at North Dakota State has like five position flexibility. 624 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: I think that's probably the sweet spot for where he 625 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: would go. And that you know, you've seen this more 626 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: and more and talking to people around the league and 627 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: you're going through meetings and I've seen it, you know, 628 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: covering the Chargers games and doing their games and just 629 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: being around the league is Man, when you got guys 630 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: that can play in those multiple spots, it just allows 631 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: you to overcome the injuries of a seventeen game season 632 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: so much easier. And I think when you look at 633 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: guys like mauc I think that that really really ups 634 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: his value because he's able to play in those different positions. 635 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: I mentioned Burgeron from Syracuse. I think would be a 636 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: good fit. I think he's going to be a really 637 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: good tackle, could kick in if you wanted him to, 638 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: if you you know, you want to enter your offensive lineman. 639 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: Another one in that mix, John Michael Schmidtz is from 640 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota who was awesome at the Senior Bowl. So yeah, 641 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: that's where the position if you're looking for offensive lineman. 642 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: I think it's a really really good place to be. 643 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: Next question comes from Patrick Engel, Hey, DJ on the 644 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: tight ends in general, Like you touched on kind of 645 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: going off of that before. From watching yourself and talking 646 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: to teams, do you get the sense there's going to 647 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: kind of be a consensus on the T one or 648 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: more of a kind of widespread thing. And the second 649 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: part of that is, why do you think that's kind 650 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: of been a spot based on draft history where teams 651 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: are willing to overlook middling or you know, unremarkable production 652 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: and not get wowed by great production at tight end. Yeah, 653 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: it's got a great question, and we've done studies on it, 654 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: looked at it over the years, and it's just been 655 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: a traits over production position. And it goes back to 656 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: the basketball players, you know, with Antonio Gates um and 657 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. It goes to George Kittle not having a 658 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: ton of numbers. Uh, they're at Iowa. It's just you know, 659 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: can you can you separate? You have that short area quickness, 660 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: and then you have kind of that that awareness, that 661 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: spatial awareness. All that stuff is really really important versus 662 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: you being at a college team and you're playing quarters 663 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: coverage and they're throwing you, you know, bubble screens and 664 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: tunnel screens, so you catch eighty five balls like it 665 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: just doesn't The production doesn't translate is smoothly at that 666 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: position to the next level. You've got to have those traits. 667 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: But in terms of yeah, I don't think there's I 668 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: don't think there's a uniform te one in this draft. 669 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: When you talk to teams around the league, you'll hear 670 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: different names mentioned. Um usually it's it's it's Kincaid, it's Mayor, Um, 671 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: it's Musgrave, and it's Washington. Those are kind of the 672 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: four that get mentioned. And I would say I've got 673 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: back the feedback. I've got back the most most teams 674 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: I talked to have Kincaid number one because of the 675 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: passing game value. But that's you know, Mayor has his 676 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: has his sponsors around the league as well. Next question 677 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: comes from Phil Perry. Hey, Djay, thanks for doing this. 678 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: I have a Patriots question for you that right now, 679 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: guys under contract, they have DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, and 680 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: Taekwon Thornton seem like guys who have pretty different skill sets. 681 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: But I'm curious if at fourteen, and I know he 682 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: said it's not an excellent maybe receiver class, but is 683 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: there somebody available at fourteen who might compliment that group 684 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: that they may be interested in? Yeah, I mean, yeah, 685 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: it's interesting. It's I don't should they be in the 686 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: compliment issue or should they be in the substitute issue. 687 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's kind of the predicament that you're in. 688 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: I think you want the best one available, and I 689 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: don't think there's anybody that's my opinion, that's dominant or 690 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: good enough in that group that you would you would 691 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: have to play off of their skill set. I think 692 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: you just want the best one. So to me, I 693 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: look at if you're looking for high volume, you know, 694 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: catches and productivity. You know, you can make a case 695 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: for Jackson Smith and Jigbo because he's just got a 696 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: really good feel. He works really good in the middle 697 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: of the field. We know the success they've had with 698 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: guys like that, so that one, you know, I could 699 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: see making sense. To me, I just would want the 700 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: best overall guy, and that's in my opinion, it is 701 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, you know, just because I think he's a 702 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: complete route runner. I think he gives you burst and 703 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: explosiveness to make plays over the top, and I think 704 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: he's got outstanding hands, So that that to me would 705 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: be the place that I would go. But yeah, you know, 706 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: it's one thing if you've got you've got a premier, 707 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: a one level player, and you're like, okay, we got 708 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: to find the compliment to this, It's like, I don't know, substitute, 709 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: It's okay there as well. You need to find the 710 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: best guy. Next question comes from Jerry Epstein. Thanks so 711 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: much for doing this, Daniel. I was wondering, I see 712 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: that you put Jon Robinson as number four on your 713 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: top fifty nineteenth in the draft, and I was curious, 714 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: how much do you think that reflects team needs versus 715 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: the value of the running back? And in a year 716 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: when you've got potential franchise tag candidates in say Quon Barkley, 717 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, just what teams are saying about the value 718 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: of the running back posts, both in the veterans and 719 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 1: the rookies. That's a great question, And if you if 720 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: you asked around, I've done this to a bunch of teams, 721 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: the most consistently highly graded player in the draft, because 722 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: even on some of them, there's some varying opinions. You'll 723 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: get some people will say on the defensive side, oh, 724 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a Will Anderson guy, or maybe I'm 725 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: a Jalen Carter guy. Everybody says that Bijean Robinson is 726 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: not only the best running back in this class, he's 727 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: one of the five best players in this class. He's elite. 728 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: And then you then transition to, okay, where does he go? 729 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: And then all of them say, I have no idea. 730 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: You know, I have no idea. Does he go into 731 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: the twenties. There's people that say there will not be 732 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: people inside the league, and I know, and some people think, oh, 733 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: the analytics, they'll kill him. If he were to go 734 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: in the top ten, he would not get laughs around 735 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: the league because people know how good this guy is. 736 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: So I just don't know where to put him. And 737 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: you look at all the different needs that these teams have, 738 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: and my philosophy on kind of the running backs is, 739 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind taking a running back in 740 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: the first round as long as your team is ready 741 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: to win right now, because if you if you take 742 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: into account, the guy's got four or five six years 743 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: of you know, elite production. I don't mind getting him 744 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: in the first round because I get the extra year 745 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: on the contract with you know, it's easy to control it. 746 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 1: And then I've got a franchise tag number five one 747 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: that could kind of take me through all of his prime. 748 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: But I don't want to waste carries on a crappy team. 749 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: I want to have all of his carries over that 750 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: five year period count and help us push towards, you know, 751 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: a championship. So to take a big time running back 752 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: like that and your team stinks you're gonna waste his 753 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: prime and it's not gonna do anything for you. So 754 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: that's that's the conundrum there with with Bjean Robinson. But 755 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: he is no doubt about it. To me, he's one 756 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: of the premier, premier players in the draft. Next question 757 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: comes from Ray Fittipaldo Daniel list no more call on 758 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: overseeing his first draft and you know, his first offseason. 759 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: How important is this first opportunity for him? Um, you know, 760 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: the kind of set the tone for the types of 761 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,760 Speaker 1: personnel that he wants in there. And with three picks 762 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: in the top fifty, are they set up to you know, 763 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: to do pretty well in this draft. I think they're 764 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 1: really set up well, you know, and talking about them 765 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: just a little bit ago, when you look at the 766 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: needs of offensive line, corner, you know, maybe maybe even 767 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: some more pass rush. I think where their positioned with 768 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 1: their picks seventeen thirty two, forty nine eighty, like those 769 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: are four you got four starters. I think you can 770 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: get four starters of those four picks. And the good 771 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: thing is Omar's smart. Omar's been there. He knows, you know, 772 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: what Steelers are supposed to look like and how they're 773 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,439 Speaker 1: supposed to play. I think Andy Witel coming over, there's 774 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: somebody I've known forever, and he's going to kind of 775 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: bring that his background with the Ravens and with the Eagles, 776 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: and if you look at those teams and how they've 777 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: been built in sustained success similar to the Steelers, and 778 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: that it's a line of scrimmage organization. So I think 779 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: they're philosophically aligned there, you know, and Tomlin and that 780 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: group does such a good job of developing the guys 781 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,720 Speaker 1: once you bring them in. So I think there needs 782 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 1: marry up very well with this draft. And I don't 783 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: think it's something where you have a new GM coming 784 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,919 Speaker 1: in and trying to survey the landscape and figure out, 785 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, how what do we need? How do we 786 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: He knows exactly what they need. And I think they 787 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,280 Speaker 1: have the people there to not only pick the right people, 788 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: but I think they have the coaching staff to get 789 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: it out of them. I mean, I know it's not 790 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: I know this is a draft call. But what they 791 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: did last year, you know, to kick save that season 792 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: and once again Mike Tomlin goes over five hundred. That 793 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: was it was pretty remarkable. Next question comes from Eric Smith, 794 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: Hey DJ with a charger that twenty one. I think 795 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: like speed is the top need the people are talking about. 796 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: I thought you had Johnson of TCU and your mock. 797 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: Is that their number one need with getting more quickness 798 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: on the outside, Yeah, you know, and again they can 799 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 1: do that in free agency as well. Um, there's some 800 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: guys on that list that can that can move. I 801 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: just think it's an element that needs to be added. 802 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,879 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not beholden to that being the first 803 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: round pick, even if you know, if you aren't able 804 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: to do it in the free agency period. I don't 805 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: think that you have, uh, you know, an ultimatum that 806 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: it has to be your first round pick has to 807 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 1: be a speed receiver. You can find some guys throughout 808 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: the draft that can really run. It just has to 809 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: show up at some point time in the off season, 810 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: you know. I think that is a big need when 811 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: you look at the free agency situation. You know what 812 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: happens with Pipkins, I think will kind of inform a 813 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: little bit of the direction that they need to go 814 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: in the off season with the offensive line again, kind 815 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: of talking about that versatility that we're talking about earlier. 816 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: That's where Jamari Sawyer's ability to play tackle or to 817 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: play inside at guard is valuable to them. But yeah, 818 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: I do think that's a you know, that's a big, 819 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: big area of need. They need to get faster and 820 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: more dynamic and more explosive. And then you know, the 821 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: run defense has been the bugaboo for a few years now, 822 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: so continuing to get stronger and stouter at the point 823 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: of attack and uh and maybe mixing a younger edge 824 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: rusher as well. Next question comes from Q Myers, a 825 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: DJ appreciate you. Simes is Q out Las Vegas and 826 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: you have the Raiders taking Will levit's the number seven. 827 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: How would you kind of rank the quarterback class and 828 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: how many potential franchise quarterbacks do you see in this class? 829 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: I think there's I would actually say five, because you know, 830 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: we'll see where hend and Hooker lands. And again I 831 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: already went went down that road. But I know he's older, 832 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: but I think he's got a chance to be a 833 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,839 Speaker 1: starter and be a solid starter. So I would say 834 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: there's a chance to be five, and they all have concerns, 835 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: they all there's not a It's not one of those 836 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: years where you have Trevor Lawrence. It's not Joe Burrow, 837 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: it's obviously, it's not Andrew Luck. It's not that year 838 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: where you say, Okay, this is that one, and I 839 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 1: would say, can't miss, but it's gonna be hard to miss. 840 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: We don't have that. They all have warts, they all 841 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: have flaws. But I think there's five potential solid starters 842 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,840 Speaker 1: in this group. I have it Bryce Young, c J. Stroud, Levis, Richardson. 843 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: But you know, again, if you know who you have 844 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: developing these guys, and you have a plan in place, 845 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's very close when you look 846 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: at how they those guys stack up. For me, it's 847 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,799 Speaker 1: Bryce a gap and then those other three guys. I 848 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: think it's however they fit you, what plan you have 849 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: in place, and how you want to use them. If 850 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: you've got a veteran in place for a year, I 851 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: think Anthony Richardson, you can make that case. You've got 852 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: a coordinator that understands how to incorporate Will Levis's athleticism. 853 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: Right now you know, I know, and talking to the 854 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: folks that have been through there, they rave about his 855 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: ability to handle a lot of information. So if you 856 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: think about Josh McDaniels and his offense, it's been kind 857 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: of known as you know, they can put a lot 858 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 1: on your plate. It sounds like that's something he's comfortable doing. 859 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: I would put hand and hooker in that same in 860 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 1: that same realm, just in terms of when they talk 861 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: about his you know, his football acumen, He's gonna be 862 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: able to pick it up and handle a large playbook there. 863 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: And Stroud to me is just like the he's the 864 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: purest thrower of the bunch. Just accurate, you know, if 865 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: you valued decision making accuracy as pretty much everybody does, CJ. 866 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: Stroud's really really solid in that area. So that's why 867 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: he's number two for me. And then Bryce, I think 868 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: outside the size, just does everything at a very high level. 869 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: Next question comes from Karen Griggan. Hey, Daniel, appreciate you 870 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,839 Speaker 1: taking the time. I was just curious when you look 871 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: at this class, who are the four or five prospects 872 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,439 Speaker 1: that look most like Patriot type players to you? Oh, 873 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: that's a good one. Patriot type players. Well, I mean 874 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 1: Peter Scurronsky. I'll just kind of go down through the list. Here, 875 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,320 Speaker 1: Witherspoon from Illinois. Because they value you know, ball skills 876 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: and instincts and awareness so much in the secondary. He 877 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: definitely fits in that regard. I would give you key 878 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: On is one because of the versatility up front. He's 879 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: six almost six five, two hundred and eighty pounds and 880 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: he could be an edge setter, which they've always valued. 881 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: The physicality is set the edge in the run game. Um, 882 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, trying to find body types like Willie McGinnis 883 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: going all the way back, it's hard to find guys 884 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: that are that big and that strong that can still move. 885 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: So he would be one I would say that kind 886 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,960 Speaker 1: of fit that profile. A real smart player as well. Um, 887 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,800 Speaker 1: I think give you another one here, Vanes from from Iowa. 888 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: Obviously you have the connection there with Kirk Ferns and Belichick, 889 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 1: so he's always going to be comfortable with with Iowa players. 890 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: And he's a big, physical, uh defensive lineman who can 891 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 1: move inside outside. So those are some guys I think 892 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,880 Speaker 1: that would be you know, good overall fits. And then 893 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: if we want to go to the you know, non 894 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 1: power five offensive lineman that they hit on last year 895 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: with Cole Strange. Why not go back and go with 896 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,919 Speaker 1: mauc there, Cody Mauk from North Dakota State again versus 897 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of different positions. Highly tough, highly intelligent, patriot 898 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 1: type guy. Next question comes from Ben Standing. Hey, yeah, Daniel, 899 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: great to talk to you. Question about Washington's quarterback situation. 900 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: You studied Sam how last year and he's gone from 901 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: a fifth round pick with one career start to being 902 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: the projected starter this year. I'm just sort of curious 903 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: what you think of that trajectory for him, and if 904 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: Washington isn't going to spend big at quarterback but still 905 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,439 Speaker 1: need to get somebody, how do you see what makes 906 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: the most sense for them, either with the draft or 907 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: in free agency? All right now, I'm curious as I'm 908 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: going back to look it up because I know so 909 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 1: how ended up. That was a shocker to me how 910 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: late he went in the draft. So I'm looking up 911 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: to see where I had him. So he was my 912 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: forty eighth player in last year's draft, So I thought 913 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: it was I thought it was a bargain of all 914 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: bargains that they got him where they did. When I 915 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: go back through my notes with him last year, thick sturdy. 916 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 1: He's got quick, he can drive the ball, he's a 917 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: physical runner. Love the toughness just locks on at times. 918 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: But I thought he was a starting caliber quarterback. So 919 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that here we are a year later 920 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: and he's going to be their starter. I just didn't 921 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: envision that it would have would have been available to 922 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: them as late in the draft as it was. But 923 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm bullish on him. I think he's got a chance 924 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 1: to be a good player. I think that the you know, 925 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: we'll see. I think the league missed on that one, 926 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: allowing him to fall as far as they did. In 927 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 1: terms of other quarterbacks. If you're looking for somebody to 928 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,320 Speaker 1: kind of bring in and again try and find somebody 929 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 1: maybe not high in the draft but a little bit 930 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 1: later on the one that intrigues me and just as 931 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: somebody that I think there's something there. And I know 932 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: he's light, but the UCLA kid Dorian Thompson Robinson, if 933 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 1: you want to he's kind of that backup that can 934 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 1: get you out of games and can run around make plays. 935 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 1: He's ultra twitched up. He's got a live arm. I 936 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: thought he got better. He played a lot of football 937 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,359 Speaker 1: at UCLA. He got better every year. I know he's 938 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: a little bit older, and I think that's another reason 939 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 1: why you probably get a value. But if you're saying, 940 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,799 Speaker 1: who's somebody that in this next draft might be picked 941 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: in the fifth round, sixth round that could end up 942 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: starting a few games next year and would be able 943 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: to hang in there and make plays, he'd be one 944 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: that I think is kind of a fun one. Next 945 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: question comes from John Shipley d I appreciate you doing this. 946 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: When you look at the Jaguars at twenty four overall, 947 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,800 Speaker 1: how do you balance you know, potentially addressing the defense 948 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: against you know, potentially adding more pieces around Trevor Lawrence. Well, 949 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: you know, I'm always a proponent of giving the young 950 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks as much help as they can early on in 951 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 1: their careers, as they can develop their confidence, and then 952 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: once they become who they are, you can afford to 953 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: maybe cut some corners around them and allocate your resources 954 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 1: to the other side of the ball. I think, and 955 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: having a front row seat at that playoff game when 956 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 1: they're down twenty seven nothing and watching him come back 957 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: and make it happen, I think he might have turned 958 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: that corner already, so I'm not going to worry too 959 00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: much about what he has. I think he's got a 960 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 1: pretty decent group around him. Now you can continue to 961 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 1: sprinkle it in, But to me, I think right now 962 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: the defensive needs cry out, especially, you know, just more 963 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 1: pass rushers, the ability to improve on third downing or 964 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 1: twenty ninth and third down last year, so you know, 965 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 1: more corners, more pass rushers. I would probably be leaning 966 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,799 Speaker 1: more in that direction even with their second pick as well, 967 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: twenty four and fifty six. I think you can find 968 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, you can find a tight end, a wide 969 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 1: out a little bit later in the draft to just 970 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, maybe more of a niche player 971 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,200 Speaker 1: to come in there and fill in around what you 972 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,399 Speaker 1: already have. But I would be leaning defense early. Next 973 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: question comes from Angelishan Gillis. Thanks so much, Danielle. I 974 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: was just wondering your impressions of Michigan Oh Louwa, Timmy 975 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 1: and Mozzi Smith and Mike Morris. Please thanks, Sure, we'll 976 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: go through. Oh Timmy, he's just a really really solid player. 977 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: Guys that have started a zillion games offensive lineman in 978 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: the Big Ten. There's a really good hit rate of 979 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 1: those guys, especially interior offensive lineman. He started forty nine games. Um, 980 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: so it's just it translates really well. He's got an 981 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 1: instant anchor. Um, he can wipe out middle linebackers when 982 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,920 Speaker 1: he works up to the second level. Not going to 983 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: be an elite you know, redirect and space guy, but uh, 984 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: you know he's strong, he's firm. Um, he's gonna kind 985 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,359 Speaker 1: of just use that upper strength and wrestle you're there 986 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 1: at the point of attack in the run game. But uh, 987 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: you know, he can set a he can help you 988 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: set a firm pocket. So I think there's a lot 989 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: of value there with him. I have him as kind 990 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,080 Speaker 1: of a you know, third round maybe you could get 991 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: into the fourth round, but most likely a third round player. Uh. 992 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: Mike Morris is just a you know, he's a massive, 993 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:47,919 Speaker 1: stand up outside linebacker there who can really set the edge. 994 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: He got after you know, the tackle from from Maryland 995 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 1: as a as a gifted player, and he went right 996 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 1: through him with power. So he's a big, powerful guy. 997 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,439 Speaker 1: He's you know, he flashes some some up an under 998 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 1: stuff that he can do, showing he's a little more 999 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: nifty than you think. But he's you know, he's kind 1000 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 1: of got an interior body and plays out there on 1001 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: the exterior. So interesting player. I put him in that 1002 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 1: third round range. All three of these guys have the 1003 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 1: same grade on Schoonmaker is another one. The tight end 1004 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 1: who I have in that range is a you know, 1005 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 1: in line tight end. He can move, you can split 1006 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 1: him out wide, He's got some burst after the catch, 1007 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: he can adjust down the field. I don't even think 1008 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 1: you asked about him, but he's a good player as well. 1009 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,359 Speaker 1: The top the top Michigan guys though, when you look 1010 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 1: at Mazzi Smith, he's up there in my top fifty. 1011 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 1: He's three hundred and thirty plus pounds. He's got quickness, 1012 00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: he can overpower you. I know that. You know you 1013 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: look at the production, the pass rush production doesn't exist. 1014 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: He's got a half sack in his career. But then 1015 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: you watch him and he's disruptive, so it's more disruption 1016 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 1: over production. But I do think he's got upside as 1017 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: a rusher and you can't move him in the run 1018 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,880 Speaker 1: game and played really well in their biggest game of 1019 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: the year. So he's a good one. And then I'll 1020 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 1: add one more for good luck here with DJ Turner. 1021 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: The corner is going to run really fast. I think 1022 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna go in the second round. Um, he's got 1023 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 1: big time, big time burst can he can drive on 1024 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 1: balls in front. When he gets out of position, He's 1025 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 1: got the speed to recover, you know, just every now 1026 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: and then he'll get boxed out because of his size. 1027 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: But I think he's a second round corner. It's a 1028 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, I was, I was watching this group of 1029 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 1: Michigan players and they have a really good group that's 1030 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 1: coming into this draft. But you also notice the guys 1031 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: they have coming back next year, including the quarterback and 1032 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 1: the running back. And this is not a college football show, 1033 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,879 Speaker 1: but Michigan is gonna be really, really good again next year. 1034 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 1: Next question comes from John crick Hey Daniel, five Canadians 1035 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: are in the draft conversation this year. I'm hoping you 1036 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: can hold on, hold on, hold on, let me just see, 1037 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: let me see hold on it? Is it Bergier On City, 1038 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: so Chase Brown, Sydney Brown, Pavious Robinson. Is that? Am 1039 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 1: I right? I believe that's it. I was just gonna 1040 00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,320 Speaker 1: ask you about the three Ontario guys, the chase in 1041 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,000 Speaker 1: Sydney and where you see Sydney projecting position wise and 1042 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: then Tavieus Robinson. Okay, I'm always I'm always geared up 1043 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 1: and ready for the for the Canadian question. Um when 1044 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 1: I when I look at the at Sydney, to me 1045 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 1: is uh, you know, obviously the ball productions there at 1046 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 1: five ten, two hundred and thirteen pounds had six picks. 1047 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 1: He's got great range. You'll see him undercut routes. He's explosive. 1048 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna test really really well. He's outstanding 1049 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,240 Speaker 1: on special teams. Um, you'll see at a forced fumble 1050 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: on a punt one of the games that I watched, 1051 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 1: he's uh, you know. The only tape that he struggled 1052 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,600 Speaker 1: with was against the laport of the Iowa tight end. 1053 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 1: He struggled a little bit in coverage in that one, 1054 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,040 Speaker 1: but had a really good Senior Bowl week. He's gonna 1055 00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 1: go Day two. Um, I think you'll see him go 1056 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,320 Speaker 1: in the second round or you know, mid middle second 1057 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,439 Speaker 1: round to early third round, as I think when you'll 1058 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,279 Speaker 1: see him. Chase Brown the running back, he's a he's 1059 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 1: a quick stepper, he can run through contact. He's got 1060 00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: a nice little stiff arm. Um. He just runs really hard. 1061 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 1: And the production obviously was there again super productive player, 1062 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 1: good player. Pass pro is a little bit of an 1063 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,440 Speaker 1: issue there. He got crushed by some linebackers in that, 1064 00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: so that's his area to to improve. It's a really 1065 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: deep running back group, so I think probably third round 1066 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,439 Speaker 1: would be the high water mark, but I would say 1067 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 1: probably a wider range third to fifth round somewhere in 1068 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: there is where he would end up going. And then 1069 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 1: the last one was Robinson. Was that right? Yeah? Yeah? 1070 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:33,359 Speaker 1: So for Robinson get to him here? Uh yea Robinson, 1071 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,839 Speaker 1: you know, had the production, had the eight sacks. He's 1072 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: high cut, he's long. You know, he's kind of fun 1073 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 1: to watch because he's in that four point stance and 1074 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 1: just launches out of it. He's got a nifty little 1075 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,839 Speaker 1: push poll move. But I thought he's a little bit tight. 1076 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 1: He's a little bit stiff at the top of his rush, 1077 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 1: and I thought he got pinned and sealed a little 1078 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: too often the run game. So that, you know, he's 1079 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,359 Speaker 1: a later round guy for me, more of a you know, 1080 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 1: like a sixth round pick. But you've got some size 1081 00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: and you've got some production, so he's you know, he's 1082 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: definitely gonna hear his name called. Next question comes from 1083 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,479 Speaker 1: Jeff Mosher, and Jeff, you may ask you a question. Hey, DJ, 1084 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,880 Speaker 1: how's it going? Good man, gonna see him, Good to 1085 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 1: see you. Thanks for doing this. As always, I wanted 1086 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,480 Speaker 1: to ask you sort of go back a year with 1087 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 1: you if you don't mind to the Eagles taking Jordan Davis. 1088 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 1: Is it something you know, going back on your evaluations, 1089 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: that you could have seen going into his rookie year 1090 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: where it might have been a struggle or difficult because 1091 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 1: he played limited snaps at Georgia Wait I think was 1092 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,880 Speaker 1: an issue for him at times and just adjusting the 1093 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,279 Speaker 1: NFL with all those great traits, but maybe not as 1094 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 1: much snaps or experience playing the game. Is there something 1095 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,399 Speaker 1: there that you could have maybe seen him not having 1096 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: a very impactful rookie year. Well, I think he went 1097 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,960 Speaker 1: from a team with a crap ton of talent in 1098 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: college and went to a team in the NFL with 1099 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 1: the craps out of talent. So you know, they rolled, 1100 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,320 Speaker 1: they rolled all those guys through, so they kind of 1101 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 1: divvied up those reps and maybe that's why you didn't 1102 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,839 Speaker 1: see as much, you know, as much popper, as much 1103 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 1: production from him. Um, I mean Callie. It's they have 1104 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 1: such a deep group there and it's one of the 1105 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 1: reasons why they went to the Super Bowl. So I'm 1106 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,759 Speaker 1: still bullish on him. I think he's gonna be really, 1107 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 1: really good. Obviously. I think he's still learning how to 1108 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: use what's in his body. It's all there. He's got 1109 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 1: all the ability in the world. I think he's just gonna, 1110 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, he just needs to play. He gets out 1111 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 1: there and plays more. I think you'll you'll see that 1112 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 1: that start to emerge. But it was somewhat like that 1113 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,359 Speaker 1: in college, where you'll see flashes and then kay, okay, 1114 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: where did it go? But with guys like that and 1115 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:33,160 Speaker 1: defensive linemen, it's not always instantaneous either. It's just, you know, 1116 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:34,879 Speaker 1: it's a different game. Even when you're in the SEC. 1117 00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 1: As great as that conference is, it's different. It's different 1118 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 1: when you're playing against grow men every week. And I 1119 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,840 Speaker 1: think you'll see you'll see him grow and continue to develop. 1120 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 1: I mean, there's um you see that every year. I 1121 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 1: mean Quinn look at like quinnin Williams early in his 1122 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,959 Speaker 1: career and just like he's better and better and better 1123 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,239 Speaker 1: and better. I think you'll see you'll see Jordan Davis 1124 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 1: to be a better football player next year. Next question 1125 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: comes from Anthony Poisel. Hey, DJ, everyone right now seems 1126 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: to think the Browns will be targeting their defensive line 1127 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,560 Speaker 1: with their first pick in the second round. Do you 1128 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 1: agree with that? And which guys do you think are 1129 00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,719 Speaker 1: fits for them? And what Jim Schwartz likes to do 1130 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 1: with his d line. Yeah, Schwartz, he likes to get 1131 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: outside and let those guys rock and roll and really 1132 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 1: get off the ball. So when you look at where 1133 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,919 Speaker 1: the Browns are picking second round pick number forty two, 1134 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 1: if you're looking for edge rushers that have you know, 1135 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 1: kind of big time juice, Oh gosh, I know one 1136 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,839 Speaker 1: of them off the top of my head. As you 1137 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: go to Iowa State and they have a premier player 1138 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: in Will McDonald in terms of burst and athleticism. He's 1139 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 1: a little bit undersized two hundred and forty one pounds. 1140 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 1: We'll see what he weighs there, but he can really 1141 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: get off the ball. He can win with spin moves, 1142 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 1: he can win just turn in the corner, but burst 1143 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,760 Speaker 1: in bend is his calling card. And talking to Matt Campbell, 1144 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, think about the players they've had there, including 1145 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: recently Brock Prudy and Breest Hall, and he said, Will 1146 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 1: McDonald's got the most upside of anybody they've ever had 1147 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 1: come through there. He was a two hundred and six 1148 00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,360 Speaker 1: pound freshman. They couldn't block him in practice. H you know, 1149 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:01,719 Speaker 1: put him out there in a game. He has a 1150 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,839 Speaker 1: sack in the first game and like, do we we 1151 00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,880 Speaker 1: need to wretch him. He's only two hundred and six pounds, 1152 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,640 Speaker 1: but he's our best pass rusher. H. So he's got 1153 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 1: an interesting background, interesting story. UM, but he'd be one 1154 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,279 Speaker 1: that I think would fit what they do. Um, you know, 1155 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 1: really giving you some juice off the edge. I really 1156 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 1: like Felix and a duque Zama from Kansas State. He's 1157 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: kind of writing that range for me too. He can 1158 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 1: get off the ball, he can win with his hands. Um. 1159 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: He had to play a lot inside the tackle and 1160 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,800 Speaker 1: kind of a four eye there on the inside shoulder 1161 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: the tackle, so he didn't get as much runaway consistently. 1162 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,760 Speaker 1: But when you widened him out and gave him a runway, 1163 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 1: he was he was pretty dominant and had a you know, 1164 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 1: had a lot of production. Eight career force fumbles for 1165 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 1: him eight in the last two years. So those guys 1166 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,960 Speaker 1: to me would be good fits. Next question comes from 1167 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 1: Rainier say been yeah, Hi, Daniel h Yeah, it was 1168 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 1: just what I was wondering. What your impression is a 1169 00:55:55,400 --> 00:56:00,320 Speaker 1: Jayden Reid at Michigan State and end, why do you 1170 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 1: think Michigan hasn't had a skill position player drafted enough 1171 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 1: first two rounds during the hardball era? Yeah? I mean 1172 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,759 Speaker 1: hardballs has been smash it's been smashed mouth football. That's 1173 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,400 Speaker 1: been his calling card, going back to USD, to Stanford, 1174 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,400 Speaker 1: to you know, to what he did in the NFL. 1175 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 1: And I think maybe the biggest surprises that they haven't 1176 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 1: had a quarterback because he's done such, you know, a 1177 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,839 Speaker 1: good job previously of not only finding but developing quarterbacks. 1178 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: So I won't get too far ahead of me into 1179 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,520 Speaker 1: the future years, but I do think that the quarterback 1180 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,520 Speaker 1: they got there right now is pretty good. And uh, 1181 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens with them in the 1182 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 1: future with the skill guys, but I would imagine that 1183 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 1: will be something that will change as they get better quarterbacks, 1184 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 1: they'll attract better receivers and you'll see that that will change. 1185 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 1: I think they got a good one now with Jayden Reid, 1186 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,799 Speaker 1: he was excellent to Senior Bowl. He's quick, he can separate, 1187 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: he's got strength after the catch. He's tough. He's a 1188 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 1: really good blocker for for being a guy. It's not 1189 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 1: real big, just under five eleven ninety one pounds, but 1190 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 1: he's tough and he gives you the return value as well. 1191 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: So I put him in the third round area. I 1192 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,279 Speaker 1: think he's got a chance to be a really good 1193 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:15,120 Speaker 1: number three, maybe even grows into a number two. Well, 1194 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,400 Speaker 1: there you go, there's the conference call. I hope you 1195 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,200 Speaker 1: guys have enjoyed that. A lot of water, a few 1196 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 1: throat loszenges along the way to get through that conference call. 1197 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,080 Speaker 1: But I love talking about the draft.
