1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson, home

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolley here with Matt Williamson.

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: It's a Monday, the day after the Super Bowl, and Matt,

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: it's time to start doing more mock draft because we're

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: after the we're into the off season now. Yeah and again, um,

7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, go around the web and try to find

8
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: some different mocks and now the draft orders set and

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: all eyes are focusing on team building, which you know

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: is right up our alley, which we're gonna do a

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: lot of that type of stuff. We'll be doing mocks

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: ourselves as usual. We'll be going over some and we

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: got one today. It's kind of fun. Yeah, this one

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: from Matt Miller. Matt he has his own website. Correct. Yeah,

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: it's called the Draft scout dot com. Um, he's very

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: good at what he does. I know Matt a little bit.

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: And and Daniel Jeremiah always says this, and Matt made

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: it really clear with his that the that you mock

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: with your ears, you do rankings with your eyes. So

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: these are things he's hearing, you know what I mean?

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: Like this is how he's guessing it would go not boy,

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: I love this player or these are he's the top

23
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: tackle in my ranks or whatever. So I thought it's interesting. Yeah,

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: at the number one overall, No surprise here. This has

25
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: kind of been getting getting Chalky at this point a

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, offensive tackle. Weban Neil from Alabama going

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars. We always say the same things about

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: the top couple picks. But here's one thing I'm gonna

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: throw at you. If if I give you your choice

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: of Neil or the field to go number one, which

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: side are you taken? Probably Neil, I would say I'll

32
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: take the field. But he's clearly the leader in the clubhouse. Yeah,

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: I think, well, I we'll know more after the combine

34
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: post com in terms of that. Yeah. At two, again

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: at Chalky pick Aidan Hutchinson out of Michigan going to

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: the Alliance. Yeah. Again, you see this everywhere and it

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't shock you if it happens. I'm sure they'd be

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: very happy to have him. At three, he has Cal

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: Hamilton's safety had a Notre Dame going to the Texans.

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: This looks like my draft. And yeah, let's say I

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: think I've been seeing this more and more, and one

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: of them was yours and what he he mentions here

43
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: are talking to some coaches and scouts. There are many

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: teams that have Hambleton's ranked as the best overall player

45
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: in this draft, which, frankly, from what I've seen, he

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: would be the guy that I think has the highest grade,

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, position value aside, I think he is the

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: best prospect in the draft. So how what does that value?

49
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: Where do you value that? Right? He is a safety though?

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: Right At four, the Jets take a defensive end, Cavon

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: Thibodeaux out of Oregon. Again, I mean there, he's not

52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: gonna fall too far. There's been some rumblings that maybe

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: he's more like five six seven as opposed of one

54
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: to three. Okay, but I mean he's super talented, plays

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: a key position. The Jets d is all about a

56
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: four man pass rush, you know. Sure. Yeah. At five

57
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: he has the Giants taking h I cam Kawanu out

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: of North Carolina State the offensive tackle. I think that's

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: a home run for them. Yeah, that's a perfect spot

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: for the what they did. I mean, it's a lot

61
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: different than Thomas last year's tackle brings some physicality, work

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: on that offensive line. I think that makes a lot

63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: of sense. It's six the Panthers take Charles Cross, the

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: offensive tackle at a v NC state. Yeah, I think

65
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: there's an outside chance. That's when you start to hear

66
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: quarterback rumblings. But if one of those three tackles is there,

67
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: with the status of that line, I don't know how

68
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: you don't do that. Yeah, I mean I could see

69
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: them signing a cheap veteran and just kind of, yeah,

70
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: live with it, living with that. At seven, the Giants,

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: this to being they're picked from Chicago. Take David A. Jabo,

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Um defensive endet of Michigan, a little higher than usually

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: see him go. And there's a lot of edge dudes

74
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: that would be three in the top seven. Um would

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: pretty much complete their defense. But I leaned towards going

76
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: to alignment. But that's a bit of overkill, I'm sure. Yeah.

77
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: It eight the Falcons take Malik Willis out of Liberty.

78
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: So it's funny because we just did a segment talking about,

79
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: you know, power ranks and whatnot, and we seem to

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: agree that, Yeah. Yeah, as opposed to betting on who

81
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champ is gonna be, I might put

82
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: a buck down on Atlanta to pick first overall next year,

83
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: in which case they're gonna have a chance that could

84
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: a much better quarterback draft class than this year's. Or

85
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: just take a guy like Willis and give him a

86
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: year's experience and really trade off whatever assets you can

87
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: and just realize you're gonna stink. Embrace the stink. Yeah,

88
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: they're kind of married to Bryan's hard to move. Yeah. Yeah. Uh.

89
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: At nine, the Broncos take Devin Lloyd, linebacker out of Utah,

90
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: and we do a lot of these marks and you

91
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: see him fall. There's a lot of place to linebackers in.

92
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: And the fact that has with my point is I

93
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: don't think it's his fault at all. I think everyone's

94
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: really high on this guy. It's just, you know, kind

95
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: of like the Hamilton argument, but not quite as good

96
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: a prospect. Is who's gonna use that pick and who

97
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: needs a linebacker more than other things attend? The Jets

98
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: take Chauncey Gardner, this cornerback out of Cincinnati. I think

99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: the news there is he could be the first corner taken,

100
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: and a lot of people in the nose seem to

101
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: think that's a Possibility's six three r um. Yeah, there's

102
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: a lot to like there. At eleven, the Commanders take

103
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett. I think there's a really good chance eleven

104
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: is a quarterback. Yeah, I think so as well. I

105
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: mean they're the defense is solid, they've got some offensive weapons. Um,

106
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: they need a quarterback in quarterback and I think that's

107
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: a good bought to start looking. At twelve, the Vikings

108
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: steake Derek Stingley, the cornerback out of l s U.

109
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: That's another team, like we talked about with the last segment,

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: they need a lot. Yeah, I mean they're not nearly

111
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: in Atlanta Land. To me, they'll win more games than that.

112
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: But whatever direction they went here, I don't think I

113
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: would argue with right. I don't know. I wouldn't either.

114
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: At thirteen, the Browns stake Trailing Burk's the wide receiver

115
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: out of Arkansas. So little teaser I mentioned, you know

116
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: that we're doing triple takes with Pursuda, and I just

117
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: turned in my receiver Ranks. I like Burks, It's all

118
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. I like Burks. Yeah, he's warming up

119
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: to this guy a lot. At fourteen, the Ravens take

120
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: offensive tackle Trevor Penning out of Northern Iowa. I just

121
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: feel like at fourteen they're gonna take someone the Steeler

122
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: fans love. Yeah, that's what happens everything, or Linda rum Or,

123
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, right, you know, somebody they love, and Penning

124
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: would be a nasty Raven and fitting quite well. Yeah.

125
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: At fifteen again, I say this, so the Ravens taking

126
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: a tackle when they signed Jown James last year and

127
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: let him sit all year hurt, and they still believe

128
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: in Ronnie Stanley. I don't know if they go tackle. Yeah,

129
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: I keep thinking linder Bomb's gonna end up there. I

130
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: keep thinking linder Bomb as well. Yeah, I mean, I'm

131
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: sure Penning would be fine at guard, you know, and

132
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: in short Town he and he did some of that

133
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl. Yeah, you know, I mean Ogden started

134
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: his career their guard. But I don't know. I think

135
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: I take linder Bomb, fire them if they both are available. Uh.

136
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: If fifteen the Eagles take Drake London, the wide receiver

137
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: at the USC, well, he'd be a good compliment to

138
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: little Davonte Smith, you know. Yeah, you put those two

139
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: together and then you have two average sized receivers. At sixteen,

140
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles them with their second pick, this one from

141
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: the Colts take Trayvon Walker, the edge rusher, out of Georgia.

142
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons I like, look at these mocks,

143
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: it's just seeing how what these guys are hearing. Were

144
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: the edge guys sort out, you know, like a job

145
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: versus Walker Verse Johnson from Florida State. There's a lot

146
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: of these edge dudes that are fighting for that three spot.

147
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: At seventeen, the Chargers take Devonte Wyatt, defensive lineman out

148
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: of Georgia. Safe to say, this is the highest we've

149
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: seen him picked. Yeah, but I like him. Oh, I mean,

150
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna say. I think, you know, and

151
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: he says that Matt Miller says, here three ten pounds,

152
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: which he does not look like he's three pounds at all.

153
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: He's expected to run in the four four seven range

154
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: in the forty. Yeah, and I think I would consider

155
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: m twenty. Yeah, Steeler fans might not have known a

156
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: lot about him right away. I like him better than

157
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: the other Davis, Yeah, the other big this guy can

158
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: this guy actually gives you a little pass rush. Yeah.

159
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: I think he's a really good prospect. Yeah. The Saints

160
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: at eighteen take Matt Corral out of Ale Mess seen

161
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: that a million times and it just adds up. I mean,

162
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll get there or if they

163
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: like him or not, but from that neck of the

164
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: woods and they need a quarterback and they don't have

165
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: resources to go spend it on somebody else, and some

166
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: quarterback will be there at eighteen four them. So the

167
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: way this is laid out, he three quarterbacks are gone

168
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: before the students pick. Right Then at nineteen the Eagles

169
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: take Tyler Lindenbaum. He's a lot like Kelsey. Yeah, and

170
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: keep a strength of strength and keep Dickerson a guard.

171
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna love this next pick the first I've looked

172
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: at it. But this is just it's the worst pick

173
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: I've seen in this in this this guy, I'm telling

174
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: you right now, is not a first round draft pick.

175
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: He's not. Yeah, I mean you saw him live and

176
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: we're not impressed. I was not impressed at all. At twenty,

177
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: he has the Steelers taking Daniel Filele, the four pound pig,

178
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: out of Minnesota. Here's how he said it, and fans

179
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: will be upset that this isn't a quarterback. But with

180
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: three off the board already, there simply isn't a value

181
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: available if I'm not taking a quarterback just to take one.

182
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: I get that that part. I'm not taking that guy

183
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: though it's twenty. No, That's the thing is I have

184
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: a problem with the player, you know, Like I would

185
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: have taken Raymond or I mean certainly would have tried

186
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: to trade down or Wilson. I'll just saying I'll take

187
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. Say Kenyan Green, give me give any of

188
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: these guys I'll take. I'll take Zion Johnson. Yeah, I

189
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: know those guys. Those guys are are nice doubles at

190
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: the very least. And Garrett Wilson maybe a superstar. Will

191
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: is one cheeseburger sure of being four or five pounds.

192
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: And how how well has that worked in history? You know? Right?

193
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: Remember like when Leonard Davis came in the league and

194
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: he was like three sixty, which was unhurt pursuit of

195
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: likes the guy. I just don't. I'm sorry. I've watched

196
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: him all week long hoping to see something more. I

197
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: just didn't, you know, I just didn't. Yeah, I am,

198
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: he's not high. He didn't make my off five tackles,

199
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't take him with twenty he's one of

200
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: the guys I am interested to watch the combine mirror

201
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: drills and shottles and change of direction stuff. Pretty don't

202
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: expect much from that. He changes directions like a lava flow.

203
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: And if that's the case and everyone sees it, then

204
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: he'll no longer be in the first round. I would

205
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: have taken I would have taken Garrett Wilson or Kenyan

206
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: Green there in a heartbeat. Yeah, even Zion John Yeah,

207
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: anybody else. Twenty one he has the Patriots taking George

208
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: Carl loftus Uh. The address rather perdue. He seems like

209
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: a Patriot. Yeah, it's one of that that edge rushing

210
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: pecking order is interesting to me. Twenty two he has

211
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: the Raiders taking Garrett Wilson. That would don't think he'll

212
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: last that long. Yeah, I like him a lot. I

213
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: consider him at twenty no matter what. Absolutely Uh. Twenty

214
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: three he has the Cardinals taking Indian Green. Yeah, it's

215
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: a need. He's a good player, quality pick. At twenty

216
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: four he has I'd take this guy over file Uh.

217
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: He has the Cowboys taking the Kobe Dean. Seeing that

218
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: more and more, which I assume means people think Parsons

219
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: could go down as an edge guy. Randy Gregory's a

220
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: free agent, so there's maybe a ripple effect there, and

221
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: some of it I think people to say Dean is

222
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: too good to get much further than this, right, she's

223
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: too good to be passed up. At twenty to take

224
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: a project offensive tackle um that has a lot of downside.

225
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: It's twenty five. He has the Bills taking Jamison Williams,

226
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: the wide receiver out of Alabama. I would rather, I

227
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: would rather wait until November to get Jamison Williams back,

228
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: then take Daniel I think we it's safe to say

229
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: that we could pretty much say everyone on this list

230
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: you would rather have than flet but did not put

231
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: words in your mouth. But I think he would not

232
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: be in the first round, and he would not be

233
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: in my first round. He wouldn't be in my second round.

234
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: Pick I might take him in the third. I hear you,

235
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: and Bill Bills will be a great spot for Williams

236
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: to sit for a while and then throw him into

237
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: that mix. Oh yeah. At twenty six, he has the

238
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: Titans taking Jermaine Johnson, the edge restaurant at Florida State.

239
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: I don't know about that one. Well, Harold Landry is

240
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: a free agent. But I would bet boy chance this

241
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: is an offensive player. I would think they try to get. Yeah,

242
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: I would think they try to sign a free sign

243
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: Harold Landry. You don't let him again. We've all done

244
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: mocks and you just want to get Johnson in there

245
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: so they relieve, you know whatever. Uh. At seven, he

246
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: has the Bucks taking cornerback Trent McDuffie Haud of Washington.

247
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: I don't know a ton about him yet. I mean

248
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: all mostly been all good that I've seen about him. Um,

249
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: the corners are a position I haven't dug a ton

250
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: into yet. You know, outside the top two or so

251
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: is a pecking order. But I'm interested to see what

252
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: he can bring. Aaron Rodgers, I love this he'd have

253
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: He would have the Packers taking boy Mafe uh edge

254
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Rusher out of Minnesota. If the Smith brothers are both gone,

255
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: or but one of them is gone, you've got to

256
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: replace them in some manner. Um. I've never seen him

257
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: mocked in the first round. But he tore up a

258
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. Yeah right, he actually he actually played well

259
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl as opposed to Filele, who the

260
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: entire Senior Bowl laying on the ground around him. I

261
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: would rather have this guy. Oh yeah, it's twenty nine.

262
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: Like this guy Bernard Raymond from Central Michigan goes to

263
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Give me that guy over the former front.

264
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: What a good fit for the Niners blocking scheme that's

265
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: coming to Miami too. Like, uh, he's another one post combine.

266
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: I think we'll be like, he's not getting the twenty nine. Yeah,

267
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't see. He's too athletic. Yeah, he'sn't run well.

268
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: You know, if thirty he has the Chiefs taking safety

269
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: Daxton Hill out of Michigan. It's first seen him seen him, Okay,

270
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: I've seen him flirted in the very end of the

271
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: first round here and there. He wasn't the Senior Bowls,

272
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: so people haven't talked about him a lot, really important

273
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: part of a really good defense. I think he's looking

274
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: at him as being the Daniel Sorenson replacement, the strong

275
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: safety type, linebacker, tight end matchup guy. I could see

276
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City go and just about anywhere but quarterback, tight end,

277
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: offensive line. Yeah, right at thirty one. Boy, the Bengals

278
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: fans would love this. They get Zion Johnson, the guard

279
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: out of Boston College. Who would be an immediate upgrade

280
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, perfect, plug and play. Let's go win

281
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: some more games. I'll tell you what trade him for

282
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: for for le Labor. Let's make that deal. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,

283
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: it gets I on Johnson. This late kind of shows

284
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: you it's a nice neighbor to pick in. I mean,

285
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it. I'm sure a lot and um

286
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: depending how the draft goes. But if the Steelers move

287
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: from twenty to thirty and there in this neighbor hood

288
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: and you get an extra couple of things in the process,

289
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: that might be a really nice move, especially if the

290
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are gone. Right, if the three quarterbacks go ahead,

291
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: you're not going to draft a quarterback, just a draft one.

292
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: You might as well. You know, somebody may have somebody,

293
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: a player that they they're in love with that they

294
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: want to move up to get. I could see again,

295
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: if you get to twenty and Karl Loftus is still available,

296
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: or Garrett Wilson is still available, I could see somebody saying, hey,

297
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: we gotta have Jamison Williams. I don't care if he's

298
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: hurting in the Kobe Dean one of those guys. I

299
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: guess I could see something or Jermaine Johnson for that matter.

300
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: I could see somebody wanting wanting to move up to

301
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: to go get one of those guys that they just

302
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: I keep reference in the edge position. But it looks

303
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: so good that maybe there's a run and a team

304
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: at twenty five. I thought they were going to get

305
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: an edge now pass to move to twenty. Yeah, and

306
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: they'll throw you a third round pick to move up

307
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: those those few spots. I'd love the Seelers to pick

308
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: up more second the fifth round picks in this draft somehow. Yeah.

309
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: The final pick of the first round now belongs to

310
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Um, how about that they'll be picking

311
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: like twice and yeah, right, three picks finish this day

312
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: and then almost lead off the next day. Yeah. Uh.

313
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: They take Chris Olave, the wide receiver out of Ohio State.

314
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: I would think they'd be very happy with that. I

315
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: think he's very safe. Yeah. I think he's a really

316
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: solid NFL Number two. And people might think that's a

317
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: discredit to him, it's not at all. I Mean, there

318
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: aren't that many number ones in the world, no, right,

319
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's probably about a dozen of them,

320
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: and that's it. Yeah, exactly, you know, and they could

321
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: use them him next to st Brown. I think we'd

322
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: give them a formidable, young, cheap pair of receivers. I

323
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: still think that if they're going to take a quarterback

324
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: in this year's draft, you're better taking the quarterback in

325
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: the first round and then the receiver in round two

326
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: as opposed to doing it the other way, because you

327
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: get that fifth year option in the quarterback and they've

328
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: got golf and that like, whatever quarterback at the Lions

329
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: would take if they're going to go that route, would

330
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: sit this year right like that would be a good

331
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: spot for me, for Ritter or how and let them learn,

332
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: let them learn, let him say, and you know, maybe

333
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: at the end of the season you throw them in

334
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: there for a few games to see what you have.

335
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Because you're not married to Jerk goff Um, but you

336
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: could certainly, you know, you get that fifth year option

337
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: for at the quarterback position. I think anytime you can

338
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: do that, it makes a lot of sense because this

339
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: guy's just start going to play right away. No, if

340
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: you're not taking you're not taking one of the top ten,

341
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. They're probably not gonna play right away,

342
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: probably not probably not, and it's not a bad situation

343
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: to learn. Behind two, there's a decent line. Um. You know,

344
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: Hawkinson and Swift are really young quarterback friendly options. You know. Um.

345
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: One last thing I on to throw, like you two

346
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: is Pro Football Focus put out another mock today. They

347
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: put them out left and right. They are the Steelers

348
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: moving from twenty to nine to take Willis. I mean,

349
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: they don't what's funny about these marks too? They're not

350
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: if you if you do those things, in my opinion,

351
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: you should be like, well, they gave up next year's

352
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: first and tell me what they're giving up, right, just

353
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: do it. They just did it, so to me, that's

354
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 1: kind of cheating, you know, like, tell me what it costs,

355
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. And I don't know that they're doubt

356
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: in any more than Matt Miller or anybody else. I mean,

357
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: but I don't think the big rumor. Of course, the

358
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: Steelers love Willis, and I get that I love Willis.

359
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: I would consider trading up for him, but at what costs?

360
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: You know that That's what I would need to know

361
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: before I could put a stamp from me and not

362
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: going from twenty to nine is pretty uh costly. Yeah,

363
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big move. That's more so than

364
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: what you did to go up and get Devin Bush move. Yeah,

365
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: what was the details of that one? Again? Was it

366
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: a first and a third? I think of the first

367
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: third and another I think it was their second involved

368
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: in there as well somewhere. I mean it was it

369
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: was costly. Yeah, there was definitely a second in there

370
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: that year. Okay, so it was costly. Yeah, that's a lot.

371
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: I mean, going up tennis spots that early in the draft.

372
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: But if it's for a quarterback, I get it. I

373
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: mean the Steelers did have they What they had that

374
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: year though that they don't have this year was they

375
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: had the extra third round pick that they got which

376
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: was the first pick of the third round for Antonio Brown,

377
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: the Deanti Johnson Dete Johnson, which made a little pal Yeah,

378
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: yeah it makes sense. So now I mean they're ld

379
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: on pick this year a little bit. Yeah right, and

380
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: they're you know, presumably only going to get one compic.

381
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: Now we'll see. I mean, the the people who are

382
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: who are guessing at the compic game are just guessing

383
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: after all. No, yeah, exactly, I mean they're there are

384
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: people who work in the NFL who don't know how

385
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: that compic formula works because it's it's like a it's

386
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: like a secret. It is like a secret, right, and

387
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: they have to give They give out X amounts every year,

388
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: so they gotta some years there's more movement and free

389
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: agency than others, and you know it's not always the

390
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: same scale, right, right, Yeah, so you do have to

391
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: figure that out. But Matt, that was Matt Miller's uh

392
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: post super Bowl mock draft again, and that's a really

393
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: good mock except for one pick I hated. I don't think.

394
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't think is the first round pick. I wouldn't

395
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: take him in the second round. Yeah, I mean, here's

396
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: more and more about him being impressive, but I understand

397
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: he's a sense of tackle. But right, I'm sorry, he's

398
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: impressive in his size. Sure, but again, I just I

399
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: didn't see much there that I liked. Maybe he had

400
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: a bad week of practice and I need to maybe

401
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: much more film. I don't know. Yeah, I keep seeing

402
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: him popping up at the first of draft knicks and

403
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: he looks like a second to me. Yeah, but that's

404
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: gonna do it for today's show. We'll be back on Wednesday.

405
