0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 1>through a mock draft here today. This will be our

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>own mock draft. We won't be talking about somebody else's.

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm gonna start this for using the NFL

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>mock draft database today. Matt. Okay, so this is a

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>new one. So we'll see what they turn up here,

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 1>see if this one is any good. Um, I've been hit.

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I've tried this on a few times and been a

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>little hit and miss at times in terms of guys

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>who are still available in the Steelers picking, Like there's

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>no way that guy is gonna be available, Like, Okay,

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>so in this instance, Anthony Richardson is still available. Okay,

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>there could happen possibility on this one. Uh yeah, so

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you got Michael Mayer. There are trades. Michael Mayor is

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>also available, Jackson Smith and Gigba, Brian Breesy, Roderick Jones,

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Cam Smith, Kaylee Ringo, Lucas van ness O, Cyrus Torrence

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Trent and Simpson, Jamir Gibbs, Clark Phillips, Jalen Hyatt, Isaiah Fosky,

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Drew Sanders, A Flowers, Nolan Smith, Anton Harrison. I'm not

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna go any farther down than that. Anybody jumping out

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>there on you and that one, well, I mean, I

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know how realistic the software is or the site is,

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 1>but I think people would be calling for Richardson right now.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's after him. It's just such a big

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 1>gap I have. Yeah, I'm with you. I think that

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.839
<v Speaker 1>they could definitely get at this point something for Richardson. Now.

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>We could look at that and say, you can offer

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>trades on this one. Okay that they don't want to

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 1>say five teams are offering us to trade. They don't

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>do it that way. No, Actually, I think they might left.

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>You might just last week. I don't know, the left

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>tackles a glaring, glaring need. But the names you mentioned,

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Jones from Georgia is my favorite. Here's my theory on this, Matt. Yeah,

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I think the Steelers feel comfortable with the offensive line

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>that they have built. I feel like they feel they

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>think that these guys are all young, getting better playing

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>together playing together. Um, I think if they take an

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman or two in this draft, it's going to

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>be in the middle rounds, not at the top of

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the draft, unless there's just somebody there that they just

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>can't possibly overlook pass up. And I don't know that

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Roderick Jones is somebody look and go, oh, that's that's

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>our starting left tackle for the next fifteen years. Yeah,

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 1>I see what you're saying. And he may not even

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.119
<v Speaker 1>start Week one, right, you know what I mean? Um,

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm up for offering deals though, because the group

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that was sitting there did not make me do cart wheels,

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think somebody would want Richardson. Say so, the

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>teams behind us are Detroit, can Umpa, Seattle, the Chargers,

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>and the Ravens of the group, I think Tampa or

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Seattle looking to trade up for a quarterback. So I'm

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna get I'm gonna got on the phone. Here are myself,

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna give Tampa a call. All Right, they

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 1>got nineteen fifty two, they got a bunch of picks.

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>What if what if we let them keep their second?

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Right we take nineteen. I wouldn't mind picking up something

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>in that You know that that one to one six

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>range where they have four picks, I wouldn't mind picking

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>up two picks there, like if you've got two and

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>one of those they're saying right now, that's too much. Okay,

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>even the cheapest of those picks in that everyone, let

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>me see you're so nineteen. We're gonna throw in our

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>always throw in our last big Yeah, we're gonna throw

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>into forty three. We're gonna ask for eighty two. They

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>would do one, nineteen, they would do nineteen and eight, two, four, seventeen,

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and to forty three. I guess only moving down to spots,

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>only moving down two spots. So if we pick up

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>a third for a seventh, yeah, man, that's good value.

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're getting reading two potential starters. We're only

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 1>moving down two spots. Yeah. I'm in on that too.

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. And we're moving on further than that.

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. So we moved down to spots. Roderick

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Jones is still available. Okay, what are the other names though?

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Um you got on the list or the best corner

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>in the LISTA is camp Smith or Kaylee Ringo. I

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>think I'll take Smith over Ringo. Let me look, let

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>me look at see what other corners are available. Here

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>might be So you got Cam Smith, Kayley Ringo, Clark Phillips,

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Forbes, Deante Banks, Tyreek Stevenson, Julius Brentce, Cat You Blue, Kelly,

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.159
<v Speaker 1>DJ Turner, Eli Ricks or the corner is still available.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Not a bad group, but they're gonna go quick. A linebacker,

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Trent Simpsons, Drew Sanders still available. Sanders is an interesting guy.

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I know we're gonna tease this and we both did

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>it and along with Mike Purseudo did mocks and I

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>left him out of the first round and I kind

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>of regret it. He kind of reminds me of He's

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>not Michael Parsons, but he's no one is. But he's

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of that Timmins Parsons, big guy that can come

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.599
<v Speaker 1>off the edge too, and there's a lot of stuff

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 1>that he does. Yeah, he's expected to run sub four four. Yeah.

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've already foolishly have just assumed they're going

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to sign a linebacker and never had a linebacker is

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>one of my targets. But we don't know that. I

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 1>mean it's February, you know. I mean, he's a good player.

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>At a probably the biggest need as it stands right now,

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I would I would say it is. Yeah, I mean

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>that and maybe a safety, you know, depending again that

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>they don't sign anybody, which I expect that to happen,

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's cheaper to sign safeties into his linebackers. Yeah,

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 1>and if you line up and say, okay, this guy's uh,

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>we take Trent Simpson here and we when we line

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 1>them up next to Miles Jack. Yeah, and then maybe

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>next year is the year that you know Jack has

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>gone and you go with the two young guys or

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>something like. I think Simpsons is extremely intriguing. I think

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I might prefer Sanders though. Well there's that too. I

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>mean they're both they're both good players, right, they're both

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Camp's best. Intriguing too. I mean his first round corners

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>a nice situation. We've never gone linebacker though, that corner,

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>that corner spot is deeper though. Yeah, and we picked

0:06:54.240 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>up an extra pick. What else? What else do we? Uh?

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>If we're looking here, because I really think the Steelers

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>first round pick is going to be a defensive player.

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.840
<v Speaker 1>M I just think that's where they're that's where they're

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>they're leaning towards um. That's where the biggest need is

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>at defensive lineman. Too early for any of those guys. Uh,

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>if they were an edge he got van Ness there,

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>but he's not a full time player. Foskey is there,

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Nolan Smith is available, key On White is available, Derek

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Calls available. They're all fine. I just don't I don't know.

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>That's that's not the glaring need that you know. The

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>two spots are either like I think that. I think

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>there's basically two linebackers in this draft that are immediate starters.

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 1>And that's fine. I prefer Sanders just because of the size.

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>We could take Sanders. That's fine, all right, we moved back,

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>we got something and we take Drew Sanders. We've gotta

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>be plus for that. By the way, we got a

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>third round picking them, and we got a third round

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>pick ev and now we picking in at thirty two.

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>We did get a trade offer for thirty two. The

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Jaguars are on the phone. They're offering fifty pick, a

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>fourth round pick, which is first round pick and round pick.

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>This is the beauty of having that thirty second pick.

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Somebody is going to be on the phone with you

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Friday night, Saturday morning, making you all kinds of offers.

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, a future first is wonderful. Who's on the

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.079
<v Speaker 1>board that we love though, Well, let's take a look

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>at it. I'm gonna close that for now here. And alright,

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 1>so Cam Smith is still available. That's a home run. Yeah,

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that's that's a home run. Yeah. Uh could

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>be pretty late too, yeah, also available as Anton Harrison, Um,

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Taiwan Jones, all the tight ends basically not named. So

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you must Grave and and and those guys. But I

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>think you, I think you take Cam Smith here. Yeah, yeah,

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 1>thanks for the offer, Jack. That one got an A

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>plus grade. Yea, if we if we have flip flop

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>those we have been. We're back up at forty nine

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and we have three trade offers, Matt, all right. The

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Bills are on the phone. They're offering one that's way

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>too low and the second rounder, which again is probably

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be pretty low. The Bears are offering a

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:40.319
<v Speaker 1>fourth round pick, first round pick, round pick, and a

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 1>sixth round pick for two nine. Yes, I knew you would.

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I knew you would say that. The Colts are on

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>the phone as well. They're offering three seventy nine by

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.439
<v Speaker 1>their fifth round pick this year and a twenty two

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>first round pick for They have a chance to be

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:09.079
<v Speaker 1>pretty bad too, they do. I think the Bears will

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>be worse than the Colts though, But we're gonna we're

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna give up. We're moving back a hundred spots in

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>this draft. Oh, I get it, moving back for the

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>third first round pick. We're moving back thirty spots for

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the Colt's first round pick. I just think, I just

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>think for the sake of of good radio, we reject

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>those offers and make the pick. Okay, that's one of

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>my faults for good radio. Part is if you're gonna

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>give me future first, I'm just gonna say yes and

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>yes and yes. Well yeah, I mean I get it.

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>We're oh hey, we we came out of this with

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the with the Bears first, third, and six round picks

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>next year. Okay, but that doesn't that doesn't fill our

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>radio time here. We're not taking any players and talking

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.599
<v Speaker 1>about them. We got someone in the fourth round is

0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>all we brought in this year. Realistically, if somebody called

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>you up and offered you a US round pick for

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>your second round pick this year, you probably take it,

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Especially a bad team like the Colts are. I'm with you.

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you. Okay, so we're back up here. Let's

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>make another rule though. Okay, we already traded down. I mean,

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>the chances of a team trading down more than once

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in a draft is probably pretty slim unless you're the Vikings.

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Unless you have Vikings. So most won more trade but

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe none. Yeah, I'm with you. That's what works alright.

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 1>So the top player available here at nine, the top

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>players Darnell Washington, Derek Hall, Mazie Smith, Noah Sewool. We're

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 1>not taking another linebacker, k Sewn Butte, Cody Malchklijah Cancie,

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Deante banks Well McDonald, Devin A. Cane, Irvan Dexterandre Carter,

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Keian new Benton, Matthew bergeron. Um, that's what we're looking

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>at here. See, I didn't have a problem taking a

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>once you've made your first two picks and they're both

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>defensive guys at fort nine, I wouldn't have a problem

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>taking an offensive lineman. I wrote down three names. Okay,

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>it might be a five position player, he might be none.

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's a little short armed. Cody Mush Yeah

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:29.559
<v Speaker 1>that here, the North dakost State. Yeah, yeah, um Washington,

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the tight end from Georgia. I mean, the Chiefs just

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>won the Super Bowl playing tons of twelve personnel and

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>thirteen personnel. He's a rare dude. We have an extra pick.

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's kind of a luxury. McDonald the edge guy,

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>is also a bit of a luxury, but we have

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 1>the extra pick and he probably would have one of

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the highest grades. And Benton from Wisconsin the detackle. I mean,

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 1>I like Derek Call a lot too. I don't think

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be Stondald now I think about I don't.

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's going to be available at fort nine.

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I think he goes in the first round somewhere. Yeah,

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>when he goes to the combine and runs a sub um,

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>he might be the best player on board in terms

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>of in my eyes, I think he is um. I like,

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I like the idea with Washington there, especially since we

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>got you know, I do think that again, he's six

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>seven and can block and can catch the football and stretch.

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Like you could just live him in twelve personnel, all right,

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>that would be my my thought. You know, it's right.

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>It really alleviates your receiver need. I can live with Miller, Austin,

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 1>whomever is my third guy if he's gonna be on

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.959
<v Speaker 1>the field like fifteen snaps the game exactly exactly what

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Washington brings compared to Gentry is night and day, just

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in terms of weaponry, you know, the ability to affect

0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:00.559
<v Speaker 1>the game. You would do it. Yeah, let's not like

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>your whole call, but Washington me was would help more.

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we got an A for that pick. Wait

0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 1>does we got a B plus and A plus and

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a A. So I think we're getting an A in

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 1>this draft thus far. A Uh, we're cruising down here.

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>We got picks eight and eighty two. That's which is

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>why we meet that trade. So we are back up here.

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 1>The top players available. You're gonna love this. The top

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>players available. Elijah Cancy, Will McDonald, Gervin Dexter, Tucker Craft,

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Henry two to, Chris Smith, safety at Georgia, Jack Campbell,

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the linebacker out of Iowa, Zach Harrison, the edge rusher

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>out of Ohio State. Jacqueline roy uh defensive lineman out

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of l s U. He's an interesting guy we haven't

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 1>talked a lot about yet. All right, big body, nose tackle,

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 1>he fits them. Old um, you said, I'm gonna love this.

0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I like the McDonald you know, still being there situation

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>right here. You say a no lineman though, I mean, well,

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>we can look and see what's there at the at

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the old line you're looking at, uh some kind of alignement.

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Jared Patterson out of Notre Dame, Andrew Vorhees out of USC.

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the interior guys right now. Uh Ola,

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>what Teamy in the center out of Michigan. Um, there's

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a top interior guys on the outside. You're looking at

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Nick Broker, Why, Wayne and Morris, Ryan Hayes, Jackson Kirkland's,

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Zion Nelson, Trevor Reachs. So that's that's dried up a

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Yeah, it has. We kind of missed a

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:43.840
<v Speaker 1>boat there. Um, I'm fine with Roy. We'll get another

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>pick here in two pigs. I think I think you

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>take McDonald here and hope that nobody takes Like there's

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>one Detroit's up next. Were the chances that Detroit takes Roy?

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I think they might take McDonald do it? I mean

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 1>we talked about him around ago, and we didn't talk

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>about Roy around to go. Yeah, let's take him. It's

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a gift we got an ad for that one. Look

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 1>at us UH defensive line, Jacqueline Roy is still there.

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Do we take him? Yeah? We didn't start worrying about

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>offense here at some point, but all right, the rest

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, at this point, the rest of the draft

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>can be offense. We still need a safety, but I

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>think we address that. We got an a for taking

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Jacqueline Roy. So we got two picks left one and

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 1>two thirty six, So these basically kind of have to

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>be offensive. Flaman. I guess I think the next pec

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 1>has to be a line. Yeah. I don't even look

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>at the other stuff. Something you like and not do it.

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 1>We did get another trade offer here for four one

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>t the Chiefs. Well, this isn't realistic. The Chiefs are

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>offering us for a fourth round pick. There are five

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>seven to seven seven to first round draft pick and

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>its twenty round back draft picks. That's not realistic. The

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals are offering UH second round draft pick and round

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>draft pick. Yeah. I don't think that's where you're not

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 1>getting a You're not getting a second round for a

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>future second for a fourth round pick. But obviously there's

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>somebody here that they like. We'll call Brooks is available. Um,

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I like Brooks, but we just took We just took it.

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.160
<v Speaker 1>We just took a notice tackle. Uh, interior offensive line.

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Jared Patterson still there, Andrew Voorhees still there? Ola what

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:41.639
<v Speaker 1>Teamy the center out of Michigan, Still there? Mhm. Bradford

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Bradford from l s U, Brandon Daniels from Utah

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 1>umpeting done as some lower rated guys. Uh at offensive

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>tackle you're looking at Nick Broker from Mississippi, Janya Morris

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 1>from Oklahoma, Ryan Hayes from Michigan, Jackson Kirkland from Washington,

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 1>Zion Nelson from Miami. Nelson and Kirkland have been on

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 1>list forever. Yeah, I'd like to take a tackle here.

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I would too. I think if the tackle is a

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>bigger need, you'd like to have a young tackle available.

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know enough about the crop to pick one,

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with you. Well, let's take Jackson Kirkland then, Okay,

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I heard good things about his Shrine Bowl appearance. We

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.199
<v Speaker 1>gotta c plus for that pick. All right, now we

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 1>need a tackle. Now we get a little bit of

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a wait here. So right now we've got Drew Sanders,

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Cam Smith, Darnell Washington, Will McDonald, Jacqueline Roy, and Jackson Kirkland. Okay,

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know we have to go any direction here.

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 1>We could probably just take best available, best available with

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>this next one might even be a quarterback. Yeah, you're

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna you're gonna you're gonna need a third quarterback right

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 1>as you're taking off to the board here. This is

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna be again the the tough part of the Steelers draft.

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 1>But if they made this, if they did what we

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 1>did at this point, they ended up with a six

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of the top hunter twenty players that would have ended

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:21.440
<v Speaker 1>up Okay, Yeah, which you take that all down round

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.400
<v Speaker 1>now I'm warming up to the idea of trading back

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.200
<v Speaker 1>in the first round. All Right, we're back up again.

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Pop players available. Bryce Ford Wheaton, the wide receiver out

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>of West Virginia, the Mario Douglas, the wide receiver out

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>of Liberty, tie On Evans, the running back out of Louisville.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Justin Shorter, wide receiver out of Florida. Brandon Daniels, the

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:51.359
<v Speaker 1>interior offensive lineman out of Utah, Michael Wilson, the wide

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 1>receiver out of Stanford, Robert Beale Jr. And edge rusher

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>out of Georgia. Mike Jones Jr. The linebacker from l

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 1>s U. Jerome Carbon offensive tackle out of Tennessee. Cavon Merryweather,

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the safety out of Iowa. M Mars Shawn Ford, tight

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 1>end from Louisville. Auprey Miller Jr. The linebacker out Jackson State.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I know we took Drew Sanders. He was impressive, though,

0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 1>but I liked him a lot, a lot a lot.

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.439
<v Speaker 1>If I knew he was gonna be there, I probably

0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.159
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't taken Sanders in the first round. You know, I

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 1>probably taken um This is kind of a shortcut and

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the highest graded dudes were. There were a couple of receivers,

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.160
<v Speaker 1>which I'd be fine with. I don't know much about

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Daniels the interior alignment, but he was like the third

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.919
<v Speaker 1>or fourth highest rank guy that you named off. I

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>think grab grabbing a guard slash center here would make

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 1>some sense. Brady Daniels. Yeah, Okay, grade isn't great on

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 1>those guys in this neighborhood, but you know there's there's

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>a need. There is a lot for him. If you know, Um,

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I I have tough time passed on Hubery Miller. I

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.439
<v Speaker 1>think at the very least you're getting a stud special

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 1>teams guy. Yeah. I don't think it would really be

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>there after the Senior Bowl week, but let's just take him.

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:23.880
<v Speaker 1>You'll take him. Yeah, same thing with Merryweather for that matter.

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought he had a good scene. Yeah, but I

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 1>could see, I could see. I mean, you could make

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 1>this kind of like the two thousand seven draft when

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 1>they took Lawrence Timmins and said, well, he might play

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 1>an outside linebacker, and then they took Woodley with the

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 1>next pick in the second round and said, Okay, Tim

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:48.320
<v Speaker 1>is gonna go inside, Woodley is gonna be outside. You

0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.400
<v Speaker 1>can you can take Yeah. I mean you're you've you've

0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 1>increased your linebacker depth exponentially. Yeah. If one of these

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.880
<v Speaker 1>guys can bounce inside and outside, if he's not gonna

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:00.560
<v Speaker 1>play right now, if if Abur Miller is not going

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:02.719
<v Speaker 1>to play right away, say okay, Aubrey, we're gonna we're

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna start you inside, then we're gonna put you outside

0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and learn that as well. Well you're well you're a

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 1>special team demon. Yeah, and fighting Mark Robinson really for

0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:18.119
<v Speaker 1>that role, right, I know everybody's penciling Mark Robinson in

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>for for like this huge role, and I don't know

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 1>that that's not going to be the case. I mean,

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>but we still haven't seen him go backwards yet. No, No,

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I would I look at him ideally as breaks or

0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:38.199
<v Speaker 1>goes into camp as your three, right, you know, or

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 1>fighting Spillane for the third spot, because you know what

0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Spellane is, and you're hoping and hoping and hoping that

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:46.600
<v Speaker 1>he goes right past Baline in no time, you know. Yeah,

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.439
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm gonna pick Aubrey Miller here, just best player,

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>best player available. We gotta b plus for Aubrey Miller

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:57.200
<v Speaker 1>there there, Like you told me in real life, you

0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 1>can get Aubrey Miller with his pick. Would you trade

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>that pick for it? And I said, yeah, absolutely absolutely. Okay,

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>So our draft, we got Drew Sanders, Cam Smith, Darnell

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Washington at remember we also traded back. We got Will

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>McDonald at eighty, which is a steel, Jacqueline Roy at

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:19.959
<v Speaker 1>eighty two, that was a pick we traded for Jackson

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Kirkland at one twenty, and then Aubrey Miller at two

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:28.439
<v Speaker 1>thirty six. Um really defensive oriented obviously, but yeah, but

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:32.639
<v Speaker 1>we're really surprised him, no, And we really kind of

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>beefed up our bench, beefed up our special teams. Um. Yeah,

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:42.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'd be in the market for maybe bringing

0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:46.600
<v Speaker 1>back Scott at tackle or Davis or you know, a

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:48.840
<v Speaker 1>veteran O lineman. I'd be on the phone with half

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.680
<v Speaker 1>of the draft probably. But then you can get those

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>guys relatively cheaply. Yeah oh yeah, yeah, I mean you

0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 1>could probably get those two names will probably still be

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 1>available after the draft. That's the other thing we haven't

0:23:57.520 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>talked about yet. Matt, and I know this is mock draft,

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 1>nay madness. Um, but if you know people are looking

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>at the Steelers salary cap right now, how could they

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 1>be under the or over the cap right now? Well,

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:15.359
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. So when I call it these uh,

0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm just calling out spot track as we're sitting here,

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 1>and I hit managed roster. Mhm Okay, right now they

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 1>have estimated three They're estimated minus uh four point two

0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:31.520
<v Speaker 1>million dollars four point three million dollars. Well, if I

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 1>release William Jackson, now I've got seven point eight million

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 1>dollars to spend. Um, if I release a killow weatherspoon,

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>which I expect to happen at some point, now I've

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:46.960
<v Speaker 1>got eleven point nine million dollars to spend. I'm cutting

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Generosowski as well. Okay, that frees up. That gets us

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a third teen point eight million dollars. I think there's

0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 1>another name anymore. War two. I'm keeping trabisky. I know

0:24:56.800 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that everyone. Yeah, but you gotta go. If somebody overwhelms

0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 1>me and I want to trade, it's risky. Oh I'm interested.

0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:07.160
<v Speaker 1>That's different. You know, if somebody says I will get

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 1>and my my price tag four, I think a four

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>gets it done. Yeah, that lits into a five. But

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I think a four gets it done. Like the four's reasonable.

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:22.199
<v Speaker 1>But I don't need to cut anybody else. I'm at

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:24.400
<v Speaker 1>thirteen point nine and I can still. I can still

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>restructure t J. Hayward or t J. Watt, Cam Hayward,

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Making Fitzpatrick, Deante Johnson, Chokes, James Daniel Mason, Cole, Chris Boswell. Well,

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 1>those are guys that are all gonna be on my team,

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 1>right right, right right? Why would those are easy restructures?

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean you could dig up ten million in no time,

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 1>without a doubt, without a doubt. Yeah, there's a lot

0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of flexibilities just by making those those couple of moves

0:25:49.920 --> 0:25:54.080
<v Speaker 1>those couple of cuts, three cuts with thirteen point nine

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. Mhm. Now I bet when it's all said

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>and done, they end up with thirty is to spend.

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 1>They could do that really easily, like a simple restructure

0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:10.639
<v Speaker 1>on let's pick one. Who do you want to restructure here? Um?

0:26:10.720 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I think Boswell is a super easy one. But that's

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.239
<v Speaker 1>not gonna get you as far. It's not gonna get

0:26:14.240 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you as much. Yeah, but his cap figure is five

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.720
<v Speaker 1>point six four million this year, right, I'm sure you

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:21.919
<v Speaker 1>could get it down to two or something. Let's do minka,

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.360
<v Speaker 1>he just signed his deal. Is he's an eighteen right now,

0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 1>simple restructure cuts him down to seven point nine million

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>next year, and now you're at twenty three point nine

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 1>million dollars in cap space. That's one restructure, one restructure

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.639
<v Speaker 1>and a guy who's going to be for a twenty

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>five year old player who's going to be on your

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:42.719
<v Speaker 1>on your ruster for the next three seasons. And how

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:44.720
<v Speaker 1>much more to what that? What'd that get us to? Total?

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:48.879
<v Speaker 1>That gets us to twenty three point nine right, and

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 1>you could easily do what you could easily do. We

0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 1>could do chokes. Let's let's throw chokes in there. He's

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty six year old, right tackle, he's gonna be on

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>your roster. That gets you to twenty six point four million.

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:03.200
<v Speaker 1>M h. The cap is gonna keep going up. It's

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:05.119
<v Speaker 1>not like, oh man, they're maxing out their credit cards.

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>If you if you restructure t J, it's going to

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:10.360
<v Speaker 1>kick the can down the road. Restructuring t J gets

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you to thirty nine million. Yeah, I think they'll do

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:18.120
<v Speaker 1>all those or several of those. Why would you not, right,

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 1>it's I mean, so it's it's not this dire need.

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:26.280
<v Speaker 1>They could restructure Mason cole Hm. That gets you to

0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 1>seven million dollars twenty almost twenty eight. I mean these

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>are easy moves, very easy moves, right, Yeah. I expect

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:38.080
<v Speaker 1>several of those to happen soon. I think that I

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>think you know, the releases will happen first, right, Okay, yeah,

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>what's because you know, you have to be under the cap.

0:27:45.320 --> 0:27:46.600
<v Speaker 1>And then if they want to do you know, if

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to make some signings, if they get through

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:50.680
<v Speaker 1>into free agency and start looking at some stuff, lout,

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 1>well we want to sign this guy. We don't have

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the cap space to do it. Okay, now we restructure. Mhm,

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:59.040
<v Speaker 1>But it's not that hard. You're probably already in touch

0:27:59.080 --> 0:28:01.160
<v Speaker 1>with t J and make a you know, those guys

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 1>agents say, well you probably you know when you when

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:07.200
<v Speaker 1>they had them signed these deals, he said, hey, we're this.

0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 1>This is why you know, the Levy on Bell situation

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't understand how the Steelers structure their deals. Okay,

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 1>they may not give you the money up front, the

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed money, but they were going to restructure him the

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 1>next year and you get guess what, you get guaranteed

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>money because when you restructure, that money becomes guaranteed. Yeah,

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the players love the restructure absolutely foundational. Guys. You get

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the money in March that you would have gotten in

0:28:36.440 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, over the course of the season, and it

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 1>becomes money that you don't have to get back right

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 1>right right, not to mention they're gonna give they're gonna

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>invest it somewhere and it's gonna turn into more money.
