Tory and I are just going to put 63 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: our heads together and go through each of the Falcons 64 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: picks as they stand right now, all five of them, 65 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: and just kind of say, all right, what are you 66 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: thinking here? And we're gonna look at the players on 67 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: the table and really just go through some scenarios. 68 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: So it's gonna be fun. I'm really excited about this. 69 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 3: So this is something that Will has been pitching for 70 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: a little bit, and so I'm glad that we're finally 71 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: sitting down to do it. 72 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: I did it last year a couple of times and 73 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: it was it is fun. Yeah, like it's just great conversation. 74 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, we're excited to share that with you. But 75 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: quickly at the Top Owner's meeting, So Kirk Cousins, I 76 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: think was the big story coming out that you talked 77 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: to Arthur Blank, you talked to Rahee Morris. What did 78 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: they say? 79 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: So as I suck down the coffee, but they were 80 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: very adamant about this is kind of we're kind of 81 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: in a holding pattern and I'm probably putting words in 82 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: their mouth a little bit, But that was the gist 83 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 3: of what I got from the conversations with both Raheem 84 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: Morris and Arthur Blank was that, look, kirk Cousins has 85 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 3: had every conversation he needs to have with Terry Fontineau 86 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: and mister Blank. He has expressed to them, Hey, I 87 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: understand the situation that we're all in both sides, both 88 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: parties are in. The Falcons have a starting quarterback in 89 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: Michael PENNOCKX. Kirk Cousins wants to be a starting quarterback 90 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 3: in the league. 91 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: Yep, these are facts. 92 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: These are two things that are happening right now. 93 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: You're these are the facts, is the case. 94 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 2: These are the facts of the case. 95 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 3: So that fundamentally is at odds with each other because 96 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: Kirk wants to be a starting quarterback, but the Falcons 97 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: already have a starting quarterback. So there's all this mechanics 98 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 3: and the no trade clause and finding a trade partner 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 3: and everything like that. 100 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: So I felt like when we were talking to. 101 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 3: Arthur Blank, when we were talking to Raheem Morris about this, 102 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: I felt very strongly that and it was even I 103 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 3: believe it was Raheem Morris who was specifically asked about 104 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 3: like Okay, where do you go from here and do 105 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: you understand and why Kirk would want this? 106 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: And He's like, of course, I understand why Kirk would 107 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: want this. 108 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: Kirk is a very competitive guy. He's been a starting 109 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 3: quarterback in this league for many a years. And this 110 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 3: was the part that this was the quote. If I'm 111 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 3: pulling one quote for you to hear coming out of 112 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: owners meetings, it's this one where Raheem said, you want 113 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 3: Kirk to go out and be the best version of himself. 114 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: This is not a thing where the Falcons are holding 115 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: Kirk back them and an opportunity presents itself as something 116 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: that's good for both the Falcons and Kirk Cousins. Raheem 117 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: was like, we'd certainly like to. 118 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: See that happen. So to me, that's the. 119 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 3: Writing is on the wall with all of this, And 120 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 3: I think I've written time and time again about Kirk Cousins. 121 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: Ye, the writing's on the wall. 122 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: They are at odds about what they want moving forward 123 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: because Kirk wants to be a start and the Falcons 124 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 3: have a starter. 125 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: So where does that go from here? 126 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: Well, you need Kirk to waive the no trade clause 127 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: and the Falcons need a trade partner that's willing to 128 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 3: take one at least a bit. 129 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: Of Kirk Cousins contract. 130 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, for it to make sense for them, because they 131 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 3: have a forty million dollar cap hit regardless of what 132 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 3: happens ultimately with him. The only way that you can 133 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 3: kind of accrue a little bit of cap savings, I believe, 134 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: is by having by trading him after June one, your 135 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: way the post June one designations, you'd. 136 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: Get like twenty seven and a half million, which is 137 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: in cap savings, which is yes, and then you would also, 138 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: you know, incur some of that over the course of 139 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: three years, which spreads it out and makes it easier. 140 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 3: So I think that's where things are. And that's what 141 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: kind of I wrote is. I was like, we're in 142 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 3: this holding pattern and. 143 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: It's where things have been since January. 144 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: Literally nothing has changed. The Falcon stance on Kirk Cousins 145 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: hasn't changed. I think Kirk cousins stance on Kirk Cousins 146 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 3: hasn't changed. 147 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: This is one of those rare situations where it's almost 148 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: like everything is played out as predicted and you understand 149 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: all sides and you can kind of like game theory 150 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: at you can like play this game of chess in 151 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: your mind and you're like, okay, so this piece happens. 152 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: They they say, okay, we'll take that ten million dollars 153 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: like bonus, Sure, we'll pay that. We're comfortable having you 154 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: as a backup. Now the ball's kind of in your court, Kirk. 155 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: If you want to be a starter, all right, if 156 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: you don't want to have a draft situation happen and 157 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: you want to wait, all right, Like that maybe shifts 158 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: a little bit in the end. It's like back and 159 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: forth and back and forth. And it's interesting. 160 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: That's the thing is, like there are so many I 161 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: think it was even tarn who said this on a 162 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: podcast not too long ago, where like, there are so 163 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: many dominoes that need to fall in the quarterback market. Yep, 164 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: to the point of even like Aaron Rodgers making a 165 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 3: decision what happens in. 166 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: The draft, He's going to join a team before the 167 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: postseason started, right, He's gonna be like, all right, it's 168 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: week seventeen. Who do I want to go to? Okay, 169 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: he needs me. I want to join a playoff team. 170 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: It was always what I said, I wanted to join 171 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: a playoff team. All right, it's the goal. 172 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 3: But for real, like all of these things need to happen, 173 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: I think before the Kirk Cousins domino falls. So that 174 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: means we're just gonna wait around, talk about it on podcasts, 175 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: talk about it at owners meetings, and then you know, 176 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: just see what happens. 177 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: Kick back in the kill palm, yeah, the palm, beach breeze, 178 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: and wait on the kirk Cousins of it all. But 179 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: that wasn't the only thing to come out of the 180 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: annual league meetings. What else did you kind of learn. 181 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would recommend I'm going to go quickly 182 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 3: through this, but I would recommend that everybody go on 183 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons dot com. I basically emptied my notebook there 184 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 3: with quotes from Arthur Blank, quotes from Raheem Morris about 185 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 3: everything we kind of learned at owners meetings. 186 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: It's exhaustive, it is, yeah, but it. 187 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: Kind of encompasses everything that we were able to gather 188 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: down there. I think the main points that you need 189 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 3: to know in terms of roster construction, which is I 190 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 3: think the point that we're at the in the off 191 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 3: season is as expected, the Falcons are going to move 192 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 3: forward with Ryan Noosel as the starting center. Now, Raheem 193 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: Morris said, of course you're going to bring in competition, 194 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 3: and there's going to be competition, but they do feel 195 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 3: really good about the fact that he has started eight 196 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: games for this organized in twenty twenty four. With the 197 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 3: offensive line as it's currently constructed. 198 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: And the other part of it that I. 199 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 3: Think people are missing is Ryan Neuzle and Michael Panicks 200 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 3: probably have actually not probably they do have a lot 201 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: of reps together because they are both the twos at 202 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 3: one point, like all of training camp, all basically all 203 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: the first part of the season until Drew Doman was 204 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 3: injured and Ryan Noozle was slotted into that starting spot. 205 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: So there's a familiarity there too. So Ryan Noozle that's 206 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: the starting center in twenty twenty five. 207 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: I mean he showed you, like you just laid out 208 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: both of the sides of the coin that like he 209 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: kind of had to answer for you. He's got that 210 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: relationship in chemistry with Michael PENNOCKX and he did it 211 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: for eight games as the starter with that unit and 212 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: they they looked great out there, you know. So yeah, 213 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: I think everybody should be comfortable with Ryan Neuzll going in. 214 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: You know, he was somebody that even Arthur Smith I think, 215 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: thought very highly of. So it's kind of transcended, I 216 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: think regime here, which speaks to the player. 217 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 3: Yes, So moving to defense, which is basically that's the 218 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 3: one note I had on the offense, it was like 219 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins and Ryan Noosel and that was that was it. 220 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: But moving more to the defense, the we talked to 221 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 3: Raheem a little bit about resigning Mike Cues and the 222 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 3: position flexibility that he has and how that allows them 223 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 3: the opportunity to kind of be very specific as to 224 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: what the best option is for them because they can 225 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: move Mike where they need to. 226 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: And I think I even spoke about that on a podcast. 227 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 3: But something that was very interesting is Raheem Morris made 228 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 3: it seem that Clark Phillips, who is somebody that I 229 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: think all last year I was very much pushing the like, 230 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 3: Mike Cues versus Clark Phillips training camp. 231 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 2: Battle was going to be the biggest battle. 232 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: That's what I remember when I walked in the door 233 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: last summer. Yeah, to start, you guys just like immediately 234 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: hit me over the head with Mike Cues versus Clark Phillips. 235 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: Everybody buy your tickets. It's going to be the battle 236 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: of the century. And Mike, he kind of took the job. 237 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: He absolutely you saw flashes of what Clark Phillips could do. 238 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: He was our camp he was our camp chap. 239 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 3: I really enjoyed watching him all throughout training camp. But 240 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 3: in terms of what the coaching staff saw from Mike Cues, 241 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 3: and I think also what we saw for Mike Cues 242 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 3: and the consistency that he provided play in and play 243 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 3: out was the reason he ultimately won the starting job. 244 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: But what's interesting now is. 245 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 3: Clark Phillips, who did play outside when Mike Hughes was 246 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: hurt or needed to come off or he was kind 247 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 3: of that CB three, if. 248 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: You will, and I so I was curious to see 249 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: kind of what his role would be moving forward. 250 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 3: And Rahee Morris actually said that they're going to give 251 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: him a rip and that was what he said. It 252 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: was like, we're gonna give Clark Phillips a rip at 253 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: being the nickel and moving inside and kind. 254 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: Of his size makes a little bit more sense. 255 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 3: There exactly, especially when you don't bring back d Alford 256 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: who was the starting nickel for majority of twenty twenty 257 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: five and twenty twenty four or twenty twenty four and 258 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 3: twenty twenty fe. 259 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: Clark is smart, Yeah, he's a good communicator. 260 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: Right, so makes sense. 261 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: And this was something that Raheem Morris said that he's 262 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: spoken to Clark Phillips about that he really wants him 263 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 3: to take hold of this change and this new opportunity 264 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: and look at it as that a new opportunity, all right. 265 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: So that was that that was an interesting Layer two. 266 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: I think what we're talking about that could affect things down. 267 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: There because it could have just been a my qu's conversation. 268 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: Again it couldn't, but no, we learned something new about 269 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: the maybe vision for Clark Phillips. 270 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: Right, And I think if I'm going with the third 271 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 3: kind of a third thing is Raheem Moore seems to 272 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 3: have a whole lot of confidence in the young core 273 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 3: of this defensive line. 274 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: I would hope so. 275 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 3: And I'm talking about right, and I'm talking about Braylin 276 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: tries to Guerrero, Brandon Dorles and even beyond the defensive front, 277 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 3: talking about DeMarco Hellms him coming back. 278 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 2: I mean, Raheem said he was like, some of those 279 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: guys in. 280 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 3: The twenty twenty four draft class specifically are really going 281 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: to be helpful in us getting better. And then some 282 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 3: of the things that we can do. And then he said, 283 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 3: and then we're adding to the defense. And that was 284 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 3: something Arthur Blank was like. Obviously, it was so funny 285 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: because Arthur Blank was a bit like, I mean, the 286 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 3: emphasis is on defense in the draft. 287 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: I think everyone knows that. 288 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: Man, I love him for that. That just lets us 289 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: be here and call a spade a spade and be 290 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: like his defense, it's got to be defense. You got Drake, 291 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: he got Jean, you got Michael Pennix. Let's go get 292 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: some defensive players. 293 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 2: He literally like, I think that's obvious to everybody. 294 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 3: And I think that that you know Raheem's comments too, 295 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: like we're gonna add to this side of the ball, 296 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 3: Like this is not what this quiet time and free 297 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 3: agency is not the end for what this defense could 298 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 3: ultimately look like. And uh so, but to the point 299 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 3: of like feeling confident in this defense, Like what gives 300 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: you the confidence in this defense considering you lost kind 301 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 3: of the heart and soul of your defense. 302 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: And Grady Jarrett with. 303 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 3: The whole idea that this there's a lot riding on 304 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: the development and production of the twenty twenty four draft class. 305 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, point blank period. 306 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, I think that's that is a great kind 307 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: of underscore for this offseason a little bit, because it's 308 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: not like they ignored defense last year, right they did, 309 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: even though Michael Pennix gets the headline when we talk 310 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: about the draft class, which and in hindsight, like, hey, 311 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: that's a great maybe have on your draft class. But 312 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: when they went on the run of defensive players right 313 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: after that, like it was very clear Yeah, we are 314 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: looking at overhauling kind of this this group, and I 315 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: mean we talked about it, just knowing kind of the 316 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: change in the fronts that they've had the last few years. 317 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: You go from Dnp's to Ryan Nielsen now back to 318 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: kind of this hybrid look, and you needed some different bodies. 319 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: But it couldn't happen overnight. So I do. I am 320 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: excited to see brayln Trice. I am excited to see honestly, 321 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: like Ruke had a really good rookie season. I think 322 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: at times the injury he's played around. 323 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: The ankle injury, I think kind of set him back 324 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: a little. 325 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, but there were flashes where I was like, all right, 326 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: I see it. This is going to make sense. 327 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: Right. 328 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: Brandon Dorless though, is somebody that I feel like I 329 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: don't have a real clear in my mind. We never 330 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: saw him exactly. 331 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: Like he was a healthy scratch and you know, wasn't 332 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: he was an active more than he was active, We 333 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 3: didn't see him, and so being able to see kind of, Okay, 334 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: who is this guy? 335 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: I want to see that, Like I'm excited to see 336 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: what Brandon Dorlyst brings. So anything else that you want 337 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: to mention from meetings before we pivot to the mock drafts. 338 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: Honestly, No, that's that's pretty much in terms. Again, there's 339 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 3: a lot more within the story that you can go 340 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 3: and read. But I'm kind of really excited to get 341 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: to the mock draft as we're talking, as we're talking 342 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 3: about drafting strategies and everything. 343 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: Like that, I'm very excited. I almost feel like an 344 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: evil villain, Like there, you got very excited. 345 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: While I get our kind of simulator up and running, 346 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: I just want to ask you. You do mock drafts 347 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: every week on Atlanta Falcons dot com. Your fourth one 348 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: went out last week, You'll have your fifth one coming 349 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: up Thursday, And I just wanted, you know, to kind 350 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: of set the table with what goes through your mind 351 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: as you're doing these exercises. 352 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think first things first is I have 353 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 3: a document on my laptop that has every single team 354 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: the order of the draft, their biggest needs, the key 355 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 3: free agency moves that they made, what type of contracts 356 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: have been doled out to specific players, and then also 357 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 3: who I have drafted previously, because and I do this 358 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: for every single team, And I also have kind of 359 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: a list of like top fifty prospects because majority of these, 360 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 3: outside of maybe one or two I use where I 361 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 3: kind of go into the second round majority of the 362 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: mock drafts that I'm doing or the first round. Yeah, 363 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 3: and so it's like top fifty prospects and who. 364 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: Can kind of slot in. 365 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 3: But a lot of what I do is is researching 366 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 3: other teams. I feel very confident in knowing exactly what 367 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 3: the Falcons need and knowing exactly who the Falcons are 368 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 3: and what type of architect they are looking at in 369 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 3: the draft, particularly at number fifteen or you know, if 370 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 3: a trade presents itself, but when it comes to other teams. 371 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: It's really the Bengals take it right. 372 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 2: It's really difficult. 373 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: So I have to have this document in place to 374 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 3: keep all of my thoughts in one spot, as well 375 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 3: as the strategy of Okay, I don't want to just 376 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 3: give the fans the same mock draft every single week, 377 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: Like that's not fun. 378 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: You don't want to see that. 379 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 3: So it's all about like layering the decisions and justifying 380 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: different decisions every single week. It's a very complicated process, 381 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 3: but in a lot of times it gets more difficult. 382 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 3: I say this, the first one you do is difficult 383 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: because you're. 384 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: You're like setting the foundation. 385 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the. 386 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: Hardest one is the one after the first wave of 387 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 3: a free agency because things are so up in the air. 388 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 3: There have been a lot of moves made, so you're 389 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 3: having to look at every free agency move that every 390 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 3: single team in the league made in order to justify 391 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 3: what pick you're making in the. 392 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 2: Proverbial draft shuffled the board, it did, Yeah. 393 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 3: And it changes that sometimes it can change things dramatically 394 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 3: according to free agency moves. And then the most difficult 395 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 3: one after those two is the closer you get to 396 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 3: the draft, because things get more specific. 397 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: More things stay, more smoke in the air. 398 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 3: Way, more smoke in the air And I think a 399 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 3: lot of times at that point you've kind of run 400 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 3: through I do eight of these, You've run through so 401 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: many different simulations, You've run through so many different options 402 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 3: and ways that this thing could fall that by the 403 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 3: end of it you're just like, just get me to 404 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 3: the dang draft so I can see how this actually 405 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 3: plays out. But that's that's kind of what goes into 406 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 3: it in my prep for this every single week. 407 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: It's it's awesome hearing you say that, because it's a 408 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: very similar process throughout the season with like power rankings. 409 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: For me is I've got them all in a big 410 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: Excel sheet and it's like I keep all my notes 411 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: and I see where they were and because yeah, you'll 412 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: lose track of it, and it's all it's so important 413 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: to keep referring back and understanding and growing as you go. 414 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,239 Speaker 1: Right right, so as we turn our attention to this 415 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: exercise that we're about to do, what's your goal in 416 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: all of this? Is it to have just kind of 417 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: like the most fun mock draft possible? Or is it 418 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: to create maybe the most realistic version of what a 419 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: draft with you and I as the GM would would be. 420 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 3: I think for me, it's like trying to be realistic here, 421 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 3: like trying I know, I wish I could be more fun, 422 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 3: like I do wish right, Like I wish I could 423 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 3: be more fun. But I do think this is an 424 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 3: incredibly important draft for Terry Vontnau, for Rahee Morris, for 425 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 3: the Falcons, and honestly just everybody prepare. I'm going to 426 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: take all defenders, like if I have the option, I'm 427 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: only taking defensive guys. 428 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: I'm just telling you all that right now. 429 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: All right, we he could honestly be here all day 430 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: doing this exercise. So I'm gonna put us on a 431 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: on a little bit of a limit here. We're gonna 432 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,719 Speaker 1: be you know, about three to four minutes perfect. Okay, 433 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: so we were on the clock truly. Let's uh set 434 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: some real quick settings though, do we want to I'm 435 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: gonna up the randomness a little bit. 436 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, do some big time randomness. 437 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: Okay, big time randomness. All right, we'll slide that over here. 438 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: Do we want We're gonna have teams draft for needs 439 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: a little bit less than they have set and uh yeah, 440 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: let's let's go from here. So we'll enter the draft. 441 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: The Titans are on the clock. We are starting the draft, 442 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Wow, that was fast. Now 443 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: the Falcons are on the clock at pick fifteen. Wow, 444 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: the fastest draft in history. I mean, Trey Wingo can't 445 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: even keep up. It's crazy. Rich Eisen is just like who? 446 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: All right? So Jalen Walker went one pick before the Falcons. 447 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: He went a pick fourteen, Jahad Campbell went pick thirteen, 448 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: and mar Stewart is off the board. It picks ten, 449 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: so we're looking. 450 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me, tell me what who the best Edgrusher. 451 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: Is so the best edge rusher according to PFF, is 452 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: Mike Green. Okay, he's on the board, all right. We 453 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: have James Pierce, we have Donovan Azeraku. Yeah, and then 454 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: you know those are probably MIKEL Williams still on the board. 455 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: PFF is lower on Mikeel Williams. 456 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: I know, I'm not. 457 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm not either. I was watching both he and Jaylen 458 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: Walker again today on the treadmill this morning. Man, I 459 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: appreciate both of them. They are like so strong and 460 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: just like immovable forces. He's like Frankenstein's Monster. He just 461 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: kind of like can't be stopped. He's a force of nature. 462 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: So but I'm a big Mike Green fan. 463 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: I know you are. 464 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 3: I like my Green too, especially after watching what he 465 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 3: did at the Senior Bowl. 466 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: So running through dude's faces. 467 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 2: Okay, so who who's the corners? Still on the board. 468 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: Will Johnson is still there, Malachi Starks, you know, safety 469 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: But everybody likes him. 470 00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 2: Everybody likes him. 471 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Will Johnson is pretty much the number one guy. 472 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: But we do then have and this is what is like. 473 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: I know you like tre amos. I like tremos. Maxwell Harriston, 474 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: Chavon ravel. Those guys are there, but could they be 475 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: there in the second round? 476 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: Correct? 477 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I do think looking at the premiere edge rushers, Yes, 478 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: is the way to go. This is the strength of 479 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: the class, I think. So you got a couple here. 480 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: So I think we're between Michael Williams and Mike Green. 481 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: Yes, And honestly, I'm I'm happy with either. Okay, I 482 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: wonder Arnold a Wakatie a little bit more of a 483 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: pass rusher first, right, I don't think he's a true 484 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: run defender. Leonard Floyd he can do both. I don't 485 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: think he can do both at the same time at 486 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: his age now, right, So if you're gonna have him 487 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: be one or the other, he's your most proven pass rusher. 488 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: Keep him there. Braylan Trice, I do think can play 489 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: the run. I think that's partially why he's here. I 490 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: think Matthew Judon was kind of a similar type of player. Edgeesetter. 491 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: Do you have another one of those? 492 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 3: So? 493 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: I do think bottom line, Michael Williams is like coming 494 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: into the league and he is going to be a 495 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: force in the run game's age. 496 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, ready made guy, right, I would take him. 497 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: Can you develop him as a pass rusher. But right now, 498 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: maybe you've got the two guys that you need tienth 499 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: ground running. 500 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: All right, Michael Williams, let's. 501 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: Do Michael Williams, look at that. 502 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 2: Congratulations you're a falcon. 503 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: Wow. That was a down road in several ways. But 504 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: all right, so wow, oh my gosh. Again we're on 505 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: the clock. Pick forty six. Hope you can catch your breath, 506 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: you can drink your coffee. I'll vamp here for a second. 507 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: We had jtuh tomlowuh Man. I butchered that last name. 508 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: But it's hard. Everybody out of Ohio state went to 509 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: pick before, so an edge defender off the board. Tray 510 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: Amos went the pick forty three. So sorry, Sevon Revel. 511 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: This is why the Maxwell Harriston is off the board. 512 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: No, well loves Maxwell. 513 00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: Yes. 514 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 3: What's so funny is will and I could not be 515 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 3: in the war room because we would just. 516 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: Be like, it's shaking fist at this guy. 517 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: No, the camera would just like be on us the 518 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: whole time. I'd be like in the corner. All right, 519 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: So who do we have? 520 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 2: Give me some secondary options? 521 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: The secondary all right, we do still have We've got it. 522 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of good edge defenders still on 523 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: the board, which again that's the weird, interesting part of 524 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: this exercise. But what makes it so much fun is 525 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: like just seeing how the draft could unfold. And we 526 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: were talking about, hey, grab your corner in the second round. 527 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: But edge defenders like I really like Brayden Swinson for example, 528 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: out of LSU. He's somebody who's grown on me. Landon 529 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: Jackson is an interesting body type, but like, I think 530 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: he could be a good player. But let's look at 531 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: some of the secondary players. Darian Porter out of Iowa State, 532 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: who you know, bigger body. I kind of think he 533 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: is an interesting player. Benjamin Morrison out of Notre Dame. 534 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: He is kind of more of your slighter, typical cover 535 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: corner man, corner kind of guy. But man, that's that's that's. 536 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 2: What about some interior defensive lineman. 537 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Walter Nolan is on the board. 538 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: Take him, Take him right now. You have led with that, 539 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: and we didn't even need to get into anything else. 540 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: Take him, you said, and I quote, who are the 541 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: cornerbacks on the board. I did do that, all right, 542 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: Walter Nolan. Welcome to the Atlanta Falcons. So we have 543 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: started our draft with two sec defensive linemen. We got 544 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: Michael Williams and Walter Nolan. I'm liking the strength and 545 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: the power that we're adding to this this defense. 546 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: If this actually happened, people. 547 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: Should be very happy with us. All right, So now 548 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: we're at pick one eighteen. You know this is on me. 549 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: We never really entertained a trade, but I think everybody 550 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: Tory's eyes just got so big when when she saw 551 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: the players who were still on the board, she just 552 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: ripped that draft card right out of a ye, right 553 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: out of Terry's hand and ran it on up there. 554 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: So we are one eighteen. There's where do you want 555 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: to go here? This is I think in round four 556 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: all options are on the table, especially because you like 557 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: what you've done with your past rush and your defensive front. 558 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 3: I will say that I wish we could have gotten 559 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 3: into the third, like I know that for this exercise, 560 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 3: but I want to go on the record that like, 561 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 3: I'm trying to get back in the third. 562 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: So we will have a podcast coming in the near 563 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: future that will kind of go through I think a 564 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: few scenarios that'll let you really dig into that part 565 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: of the conversation. So everybody just stay tuned for that 566 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: a little future plug. But yet I agree is that 567 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: would have been nice because if you give me like 568 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: four picks between the second and fourth rounds, like, I'm fine, 569 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm super happy with that. So I agree with you there. 570 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so we've fourth rounds. 571 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got Charles Grant is the top prospect on 572 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: the board right now. I like Charles Grant a lot 573 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: out of William and Mary. He is raw, but he 574 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: has like all of the tools, yeah, that you would 575 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: want in a tackle. So maybe developmental guy Sebastian Castro 576 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: safety out of Iowa kind of a nickel, can play 577 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: down by the box, like brings something there. He would 578 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: be interesting. Gunner Helm, I feel like that is the 579 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: name I've heard more than like anybody else's really during 580 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: draft season. Yeah. Uh, you know, we've got Willy Lampkin, 581 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: a guard, but like I know, there's some question about 582 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: his his size. Jack Kaiser Captain Jack out of Notre 583 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: Dame is still on the board. I don't know, Edge Rusher, 584 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: Savion Jones, like he's got some interesting developmental traits. Is 585 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: there anybody that I have named that, you know? I say, 586 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: Will Howard out of a host. 587 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: Oh Man, I don't know where are you leaning, because 588 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 3: once we get into this, I'm a bit more like 589 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 3: I could play ball a little bit more. 590 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 2: It's not as straightforward too. 591 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: I'm looking I'm looking at Jonas Sanker here. They don't 592 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: really have much on him. The only reason I wanted 593 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: to look at him is I don't know much about him. 594 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: So I do really like Charles Krant though, and I 595 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: have been behind the scenes, like laying the groundwork of 596 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: like does it make sense to go offensive line in 597 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 1: the fourth round? You know? I do think right, it 598 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: never hurts to have somebody waiting in the wings to develop. Yeah, 599 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: I know, Jake Matthews did just sign an extension, but 600 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: he he is on the later stages of his career, 601 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: even though his dad played for ever. 602 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: And I mean the question too is like can you 603 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 2: crosstrain him as well? 604 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: Exactly know? 605 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 3: And I think that's the big thing, is like can 606 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 3: you cross trainman enough to where if anything happens to 607 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 3: anybody maybe outside of center, but anything happens to anybody 608 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 3: on that line of scrimmage? Can this guy be an 609 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: interesting piece of depth as he developed? 610 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: And I think the upside is really high. Yeah, based 611 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: on right, cool, It's an interesting yeah. But again, given 612 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: who's on the board here, I like there's nobody that 613 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: jumps out. There's a couple of Kansas corners, but like 614 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't super impressed with either of them with what 615 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: I've seen. So Charles Grant, we went offense, we went off, 616 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: let's go. 617 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 3: He talked me into it. I said, I said, five minutes. 618 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 3: I'm not taking any offensive. 619 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: Players screaming in their cars there. No, we just created 620 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: a traffic jam on it. All right, So we're back 621 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: on the clock round seven to eighteen. Honestly, I think 622 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm getting rid. 623 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 3: Of these pigs. Like, first off, I'm telling this right now, 624 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: I'm done. I'm not doing I don't want to be 625 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 3: on the clock in the seventh round at all. 626 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: I'm very much all right, let's. 627 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: Let's go for since I'm not gonna lie to anybody, 628 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: I don't think you and I are really up to 629 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: date on our seventh round. 630 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: No, unfortunately, let's go with let's go with. 631 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: Some fun names then out that uh so good luck 632 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: Lejohonte wester ooh a wide receiver out of Colorado. Okay, 633 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: Smail London, I do take back all right? Yeah, we 634 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: want to make it. You'd be a good special teams player. 635 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: He's athletic, right, yeah, all right? Cool Smail London man, 636 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: you just are Georgia HOMERSM. 637 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 3: I mean, well, that's the thing is, I know, I 638 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: feel like I know them the best. 639 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 2: I feel like I know the SEC the best I've watched. 640 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 3: You know exactly what type of caliber player is coming 641 00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: out of those programs. 642 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: You you know, the less. 643 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 3: Competition that they faced week in and week out. I 644 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 3: also think that the Falcons have a history of taking 645 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: Georgia and or SEC players in the later rounds of 646 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 3: the draft. 647 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: Yep. 648 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 2: Because of that, I do. 649 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm looking to see. Femi Oladaju is somebody who I've 650 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: recently discovered. Love him out of UCLA and he's a 651 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: former linebacker kind of turned edge. He only has ten 652 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: starts at edge this past season, but like he it's 653 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: like his primary objective is just to get past the 654 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: dude in front of him, which I'm like it should 655 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: be yeah, but it's like he plays with that as 656 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: his number one thought and I love it. I'm like 657 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: he is just so focused on beating the guy in 658 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: front of him that I but I think he is 659 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: off the board. I do think he's going to be 660 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: like an early Day three guy. Yeah, what about we've 661 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: got a Iowa tight end, Luke Latchie. We could do 662 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: Hunter Waller, the safety out of Wisconsin. I kind of 663 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: like Benhrell Cyprus the second that's a name. 664 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 2: I kind of like the idea of Wisconsin safety. 665 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: Okay, Hunter Waller, Yeah, all right? N or Dan Jackson, 666 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: you know we could just all right, we'll do We'll 667 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: do Wisconsin's version of Dan Jackson. Hunter Waller. Welcome to 668 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. You were the final pick. That is 669 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: our full draft. Let's see what PFF gave us as 670 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: a grade. They gave us an A minus. He the 671 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: Michael Williams pick a B. Which on you PFF? Come on, Trevor, 672 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to have some words.
