00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody Today Monday edition of Texans All Access

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: from the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your hostess Evening

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: John Harris joining me to kick off the shows. The

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: voice of the Texans, Mark Vanni. Mere Mark, how are you.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: It's been a great day, Johnny, and I really am

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: looking forward to the Draft. I mean, I cannot tell

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: you it's funny because without a first and second round pick,

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: you'd think, well, you know this here, there's just something

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: about it. You know what you've got already, You've got

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: a good situation already. You're just aching to see what

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna add to it. Not that these guys are

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: gonna be world beaters right off the block, but new

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: players coming in. There's always an air of excitement about it.

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: But before that, the schedules come out preseason this week,

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: in all likelihood, regular season next week. All right, I'm

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: gonna ask you a question I got all right. I

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: was on radio in Mississippi and my guys having me on,

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: and they asked me, and they said, do you sense

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: that there is not as much buzz this year for

20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: the draft then in previous years? My answer to them was, well, okay,

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: let's consider our littlecations. They're in Mississippi, right, we're in Houston. Houston,

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: there's no first or second round pick. Yeah, so I do.

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: I sensed that around here that there's not as much

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: excitement about the draft per se, not the twenty eighteen season.

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: I think people are really excited about that. I get

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: that that impression like, let's just get the season here.

27
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: They're in Mississippi, they don't really have. You know, a

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: few years ago they had at Kim Dicy and Shredwell

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: Larry tunsl class where they were getting really excited about

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: first round picks. They had a lot of names and

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: people that get excited about they don't neither school has

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: it this year. So I get seen in our areas well.

33
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Without a first round pick here locally, you're just not

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: going to get the same kind of conversation about it, right.

35
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: I guess that equates to buzz. I think like the

36
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: Texans though, you know, you listen to John McClain, he's

37
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: done seven mocks or something like that, and you know

38
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out who the Texans are going

39
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: to take in the third round normally third round, and

40
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, you're well into the draft. I mean,

41
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: that's the where you're gonna begin the draft this year.

42
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: But it's the fourth pick of the third round. So

43
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: there's that. I just I think last year though, they

44
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: weren't drafting you know, they traded up to number twelve

45
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: to get Watson, so they weren't drafting that high. Where

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: were they there were the twenties or whatever. Yeah, because

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: you had the divisional round showing against the New England Patriots,

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: so you weren't drafting that high, and you knew that

49
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: they probably weren't going to pick a quarterback right quarterback

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: pick because they would have been straight up the yeah

51
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: they hadn't done, were like, it's not gonna happen. And

52
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: quarterback pick potential anyway always sort of piques your interest,

53
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, Like twenty fourteen, they needed a quarterback. They

54
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: had the number one overall pick. There's none that you

55
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: were going to take that high, but they took Clowning.

56
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I guess there's not the kind of same

57
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: conversation going on yet. There's just something about New Texans

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: coming in and knowing that you already have Watson, you

59
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: already have your first round pick. This is who you

60
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: got with that deal. You feel pretty good about that situation. Yeah,

61
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: no question. I get the sense that people are really

62
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: excited about what will happen in twenty eighteen. Yeah, and

63
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: the season itself, let's get it going. Not as much

64
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: about the draft, but that's fine. I think once draft

65
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: weekend rolls around, I think people will be playing excited.

66
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: So I think we just figured it out. I think

67
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: as part of the season, as part of the season

68
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: build up, you're excited about it. Exactly Now I'm excited

69
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: about it. Twenty four seven, three sixty five. Now you're strange.

70
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: You have completed Vandermock two point zero. Yes, I did, Johnny.

71
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: This is you know, years of work go into this

72
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: sort of thing, preparation, Vandermock drafts. I have not looked

73
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: at it. You have not looked at it. I have

74
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: not looked at it because I wanted to save it.

75
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: It's completely different from one point. Oh I really honestly

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have changed a whole lot. But Eric side

77
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: of the Cencio, who directs content for the website and everything,

78
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: he said, do a Vandermock two point zero or else.

79
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: So here I am with it. You didn't want to

80
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: get to the arm. But I do like some of

81
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: these picks, and we'll go over the Okay, So with

82
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: pick number one in the third round, which would be

83
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: picked number sixty five, you went with Orlando Brown, the

84
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: tackle from Oklahoma. I still see him dropping on some

85
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: of the mock sites this much. And Johnny, if he's there,

86
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm taking him. I'm taking him. I'm with you. Okay.

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: If if he's there, I'm with you. I don't think

88
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: he'll be there. I think I think he's being talked down.

89
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: And often when this happens, it's like, no, you know

90
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: who else was talked down? Because I had a bet

91
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: with a local radio host who we know very well about,

92
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Tyrand Matthew. When he went he went in the third round.

93
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: He's like, no way, he's going in the third round.

94
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: No way, no way, you know, based on everything that

95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: happened in college, I'm like, the guy's too good, You're

96
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: too talented, too good, somebody's gonna take a shot. If

97
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: somebody took a shot at Maurice Clarette crying out loud,

98
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Matthew was gonna go. Not that he's Clarette. You know

99
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Though, Orlando Brown, I agree with you,

100
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be there, And the thought being,

101
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: I've always said there are three positions you must that

102
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: become a priority in the draft. The guy throws the ball,

103
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: the guy that protects the guy throwing the ball, and

104
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: the guy that goes and tackles the guy throwing the ball.

105
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: All right, didn't he do a pretty good job at

106
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: the protecting part of Oklahoma Baker Mayfield, Yes, you know,

107
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: sang his praises to me. I wrote this the most

108
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: important measurable of sacks allowed and rushing yards on your

109
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: side of the road if you're a left tackle. So

110
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: he does pretty well in those categories. I don't know

111
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: that he'll ultimately be a left tackle. I think I

112
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: could see him at right tackle. But you know, it's interesting.

113
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I watched him. I watched him against Ohio State, and

114
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: I focused mostly in the Ohio State game when he

115
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: went against Nick Bosa, Joey's brother who at the time

116
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: as a sophomore, and and Nick will be he'll be

117
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: a top five pick. I mean, Nick is a flat

118
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: out stud. And I watched him against Bosa, and Bosa's

119
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: got strength, he's got get off, He's a lot he's

120
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: just a lot like Joey. I mean, he's got everything

121
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: you're looking for. And there were times where Bosa would

122
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: just try and run, literally run around him, and Orlando

123
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: would just stick out his left arm and that just

124
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: kept Bosa from turning the corner. He was so far

125
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: away from where he wanted to go. Bosa just couldn't

126
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: get there space. And that time, all right, the second

127
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: pick you went with, Oh, I like this one. I

128
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: like it a lot. I like it. I like your

129
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: first two picks. Hayden Hurst, tight end South Carolina. Unfortunately,

130
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: what I don't think he's anyway, he's there in the

131
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: middle of the third. If he's there. If Hayton Hurst

132
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: is there at that pick, I will run down to

133
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: the draft room. Off the radio. I wrote that about

134
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: So this kid played professional baseball to the Bowls School

135
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, which I know very well. And you played

136
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: baseball at the bowl School. You're good. That's where Chipper

137
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: Jones played. Uh, it's one of the most well renowned

138
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: baseball locations. My my buddy actually coached Hayden Hurst, which

139
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: I need to get some intel from him. I haven't

140
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: talked to him. I just literally put that together a

141
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: few days ago. But Hayden Hurst is everything you want

142
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: to tight end. He's not the greatest blocker in the world,

143
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: but he's tough. He's really tough, and I think he

144
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: would get better at it. So and he's got hands

145
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: just glue sticks for hands already have Tommy John Surgery.

146
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's a stuff now he's twenty five and

147
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: James Casey, right, he is. But I think he's a

148
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: little bit more athletic, yeah, which I meant the sense

149
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: that he's played professional baseball. And by athletic, I mean

150
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: he's a little bigger, a little bigger, probably a little

151
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: bit fat Paris for Luke Wilson maybe, yeah, But I

152
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: think he's a little bit better player than Luke is.

153
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: But good Man, you can end up with wow, I liked.

154
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: I like you start. What about my third pick of

155
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: the third round? What do you think here? Oh? You

156
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: know I love this one. You know I love this

157
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: one because I think this should happen. Keim Griffin. That's

158
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: about where I have him. I think in H. Harris

159
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: one hundred version two dot. Oh, I have him. I

160
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: think seventy five eighty somewhere in that range. Here's here's

161
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: why I take him, other than the fact he could

162
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: play right, he could play. He's got no left question.

163
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: But he can play. He's a he's a baller, and

164
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anybody in the planet who's not

165
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: rooting for this guy. The other thing is this, if

166
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 1: he's on my team, no one's complaining on the team.

167
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, everything you're going through as

168
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: a player, it's like, oh, oh really, because the guy

169
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: with no hand is doing it. So do you have

170
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: a problem with this? The guy doesn't have a problem

171
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: with this? What about you? Are you kidding? I'm taking

172
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: him in a hot second, Johnny, I might take him

173
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: higher than he's expected to go based not based on

174
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: that alone, but that's a big factor to me. He's

175
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: a non complainer, put it all out there kind of guy.

176
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: I want him on my team. He runs four three eight,

177
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: He can rush the quarterback. Can you imagine him being

178
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: out there with Clowney wat Griffin, whoever you want to

179
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: put inside Scarlett, put scar rushed Scarlett from the inside.

180
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't Conny Badger, Honey Badger. I mean you got

181
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: have schem Griffin and Honey Badger rush up. Setting him

182
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: all after the courteen. But here's the other thing too.

183
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: With Shachim and Clowney and Tyron Matthew and JJ Watt

184
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: all in the field, you have all these positionless players

185
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: that you can do so much with, right, Oh, I

186
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: mean that's just I like this pick. I would I

187
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: would love it. I would absolutely love sim Griff in

188
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: the third round. There's some teams. I guarantee he's off

189
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: some team sports, whatever reason, he's gonna be off their boards.

190
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: I've seen there was a general man who was a

191
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: former general manager who said this, I can't remember where

192
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: I saw this, said they wouldn't draft him, and the

193
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: NFL they'll figure it out. Well, they certainly didn't. In college,

194
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: he ran right through a round and over everybody. And

195
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: he definitely was not at a disadvantage of the Senior Bowl.

196
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: And I understand Senior Bowl, and I mean to get

197
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: it and it's different, trust me. But this guy can play.

198
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: You're fourth three eight, Oh my gosh, you could fly

199
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: measurable in the heart category, extremely strong competitive category. All right,

200
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: let's get to the fourth round. What do you got

201
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Mark Walton running back Miami. Now you might think, all right,

202
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: with health, the Texans are pretty solid at running back.

203
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: But Walton I think is pretty good seven and a

204
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: half yards per carry before he got hurt last year,

205
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be a pro runner. I mean,

206
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: I think this guy's gonna be a feature back for

207
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: an NFL team at some point and maybe some point soon.

208
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: And I want to add to it, this whole pick

209
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: was based on he's there. He's the best player available,

210
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: and maybe you know in your other positions of need,

211
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: there's nobody else that you have ranked at high. You

212
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: don't make a deal, you're not dropping down, so go

213
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: ahead and take him. I agree with you. I like

214
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: Mark Walton at that pick. I think he's just outside

215
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: the Harris one hundred for me, and he's a very

216
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: productive guy. He's not a big guy, he's five nine,

217
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: probably two h five, but he runs hard, runs real hard.

218
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: I hated the fact that he got hurt because I

219
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: think Miami season wouldn't have gone down the drain at

220
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: the end of the year had to add him. I

221
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: think he had a reliable, reliable running game with him

222
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: taking something pressure off Rogier. He was putting up some

223
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: big numbers historically compared to some great Miami backs okay,

224
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: so four round four, So now we get into round six.

225
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Three in the sixth round, right is Perry Nicholson from

226
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: two lane around at that point he ran a four

227
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: to three two at the combine. What's he doing there

228
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: in round six? Because I see a lot of sites

229
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: projecting him into round six. Same friend you talked about

230
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: a little while ago, who also right for NFL dot Com.

231
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: That's one of his favorite players, Perry Nickerson and watching

232
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: him on tape, he is not gonna get to the

233
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: sixth round. Be shocked. Now. What could get him there

234
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: is he's He's not a big guy. He's about five

235
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: ten one seventy six if I remember size right, He's

236
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: not a big guy. But you talk about transitional quickness,

237
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: playing the ball, mirroring routes, speed, everything you're looking for

238
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: a defensive back, he's got it. I think the one

239
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: thing he could do mark right now, I don't know

240
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: how you situate this with all the guys you already

241
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: have with Aaron Colvin, with Tyrn, he could play inside

242
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: on the slot. I think he would be a perfect

243
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: guy in the slot because he's tough and he can run.

244
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: He can match routs, but he also plays the deep

245
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: ball pretty well. Perry Nickerson can absolutely play. You get

246
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: him a sixth round, you got really good. I don't

247
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: know that he'll ever play outside just because he's not

248
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: a big guy. But we've seen how often teams that

249
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: are good. I mean Jacksonville last year, boy A Ramsey Colvin.

250
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: You've got to have three guys that can cover. You

251
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: can do that. You got an opportunity. And we've all

252
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: said that even though you have these guys on paper,

253
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: all right, well more than on paper, you have them

254
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: on your roster already, it doesn't mean you're not going

255
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: to add in the draft and it's a sixth round.

256
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: If he's there, I'm taking him all right now. The

257
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: next guy is the tackle from Oklahoma State, Zachary Crabtree,

258
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: who played some basketball, and I think that I don't know,

259
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, I look at him and I'm not a

260
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: big evaluator, as you know, but people say too much

261
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: shotgun in Oklahoma State, Big whoop? You do. Guess what

262
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna play here the shotgun. Guess what Watson is

263
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: gonna take. Yeah, he's gonna take the snap out of

264
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: the shotgun. How much of the time, like sixty seventy

265
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: percent of the time. Get ready. I've said this before.

266
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't mind him taking two tackles at all. I

267
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: don't have any I don't have any problem with that.

268
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: And I think you're right on Crabtree pretty good one

269
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: round six? All right? So Davin Bellamy is the third

270
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: pick in the sixth round from me, outside linebacker from Georgia.

271
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Why isn't he going higher? This guy? They say he's

272
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: a Tasmanian devil, he's a team captain, sec ton of tackles,

273
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: gets to the quarterback. What's wrong with him? John? I

274
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: think he's gonna probably go a little bit higher than

275
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: round six. I think he's got how do I say this?

276
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: He's got everything that you would want and a pass rusher,

277
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: and he'll flash it every now and again. I think

278
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: that's the thing. You see it and you go WHOA.

279
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: I saw it when I studied him last year. I

280
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: studied him go in the summer, and I thought every

281
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: so often I would see a play and go wow.

282
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: But then I would go ten twelve plays and you

283
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: just wouldn't You wouldn't see anything. But man, you're right,

284
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: you have it absolutely dead on plays with ferocity. He

285
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: plays with ferocity and chip on his shoulder. He just

286
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: has to do it more consistently. But I think in

287
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: this defense, I think he would be running nice fit.

288
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: I like what you've done this far. And then round

289
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: seven there's one pick and you went with, well the

290
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: guy could fly line out Marcus Valdez scantling wide receiver

291
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: from South Florida and a four three seven at the combine.

292
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Look in the seventh round, you're going for those those skills.

293
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: You're looking for one elite trade. Yeah, and the trait

294
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: is speed, He's got it. I think he can maybe

295
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: return kicks. He'd certainly give him a look at that.

296
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: And why not four three seven speaks for itself a

297
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: lot of yack yards at South Florida. Wow, you did

298
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: really well? You think I did? Okay? Your vandomarks are

299
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: usually pretty good. I usually like him a lot. I

300
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: The only thing I worry about is I think some

301
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: of these are some of these players are a little

302
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: lower than probably where they're gonna go. But man, if

303
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: you end up with a third round of Orlando Brown,

304
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurston's chakem Griffin, that'd be a home run. Yes,

305
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: it would be a home run. Mark. Thanks a lot.

306
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: Drudoorty coming up next. What's the national perception what the

307
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: Texas should do with those three third round picks? Talk

308
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: about that next right here in Texans Axis. Welcome back

309
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: to Monday edition of Texas All Access from the Honday

310
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris. Drudoorty joins me. Now, Drew,

311
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: what's going on? How much? Now much? What's up to? Dude?

312
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta admit I've told you this, and

313
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: I tell you this even though you're my buddy and

314
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: even though I'm on the show with you at times.

315
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Texas three sixties freaking awesome. Man, that is really really

316
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: well done. Thanks. I'd love to take credit for that,

317
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: but that's all Jay McDevitt and Joe Amerroll and Garretts,

318
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: those guys behind the scenes making that that thing work.

319
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: And uh, you're coming on on Thursday. Yeah, I'll be

320
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: on on on Thursday with you. Saturday night. Excuse me,

321
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: Saturday night, Thursday, Saturday. It's something in our world and

322
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: I can't wait. It's gonna be good, Jome. It is

323
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I cannot wait. Draft is

324
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: seventeen days away. It feels like it. I mean, we're

325
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: at that point where, man, we're gonna hit the two

326
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: week mark come up very soon. It's never come this

327
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: quickly in my estimation. It's interesting you say that. I

328
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: kind of feel the same way. But now that we're

329
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: in April, now it started to drag along because now

330
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm now I'm curious. We will have some We should

331
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: get the preseason schedule at some point. Talk about that

332
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: a little bit with Mark, and that should be coming

333
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: this week, I would think. And then the schedule comes

334
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: out next week, next week. We don't know a date.

335
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: We don't know a date but right none of the day,

336
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: but we just know it's next week for that and

337
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: usually Wednesday or Thursday, I think I can't remember which,

338
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: but either way, those are two big events that come

339
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: up preseason as much. But then again, continue the Texans

340
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: are up at the Greenbrier. Knowing where we're gonna be

341
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: for preseason, it gives us a lot of clarity. Yeah,

342
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: it does. It really kind of lets us figure out

343
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: the rest of our summer, if you will. But then

344
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: the schedule and then the draft is coming up. Not

345
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: obviously the Texans don't have a first or a second

346
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: round pick. But you used to do an article and

347
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: I know you'll bring it back next year when the

348
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: Texas do have a first round pick. It's maybe wistful

349
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: for this article. I know it was always one of

350
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: my favorite reads because you would accumulate all the various

351
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: mock drafts and you would look at who the Texans

352
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: were going to take. And I always thought it was

353
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: a fascinating exercise to look at, you know, everybody else's

354
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: mock draft and put it in. You would do versions.

355
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: I think you almost had like eight versions of that article. Yeah,

356
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: I would do one the morning after, so the Monday

357
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: after the draft for the next year, and that's there's

358
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: like seven or eight people when it grows every year.

359
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: But and that was way way out about They'll have

360
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: a mock draft for the next year and then starting

361
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: pretty much like the week after the season ended. I

362
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: do want every two or three weeks sometimes quicker. And

363
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: you wanted up doing about seven, eight nine of these things.

364
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: And I didn't originate this thing. It started at least

365
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: on Houston Texans dot com. Nick Scuirfield started and I

366
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: don't think it was his original I think he came

367
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: he got it from someplace else. But he basically some

368
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: mock draft survey and you find out who who thinks

369
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: who thee who they think the Texans are gonna take.

370
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: Last year, I believe it was Mahomes was basically for

371
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,239
Speaker 1: that last month and a half he was on the

372
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: Texans were going to take Patrick Mahomes. I'm curious to

373
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: see if the Chiefs had not traded up and the

374
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: Texans were sitting there with Mahomes and Watson on the board,

375
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: which one they would have gone with. Obviously we can

376
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: look back at it and say, yeah, this was this

377
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: is the right thing. I In fact, I saw I

378
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: saw an article written by Gil Brandt on NFL dot

379
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: com and he ranked I think there were twelve twelve

380
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks drafted in the first round sound from two thousand

381
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: thirteen going forward. Yep, Yeah, that's right because he had EJ.

382
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: Manual in there. Yeah, twelve quarterbacks from twenty thirteen draft

383
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: going forward? Where would you put the sean? Now we're

384
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: talking about guys that have gone at the top. You

385
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: had twenty fifteen where you had James Winston and Marcus Mariota.

386
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: You had Jared Goff the next year. Three of those.

387
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: Last year you'd have three of those, you'd have three

388
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: guys that went Trubisky, Mahomes and Watson. Put them in

389
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: for those guys too. You had twelve quarterbacks taken from

390
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. Is only one of the first round EJ.

391
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: Mannual in the twenty fourteen. You had Bortles, you had Manzell,

392
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: you had Was there anybody else in Bridgewater? Right? Bridgewater

393
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: put them in front of him? Okay, where would you

394
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 1: put Watson amongst all that group? One? Not one? How

395
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: about number seven? Nope, I'm not a number seven? Wentz

396
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: Winston Okay, I could understand Wentz. I know I wouldn't

397
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: take him over. I wouldn't take Winston over Watson, Mariota, Nope,

398
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles. That's what the law. That's what the Liz

399
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: lost me. I was like, what foot interception? Really? I mean,

400
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: come on, man, really, yo? Watson seven, and it's been

401
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: he's been under center and taking his team farther in

402
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But that's that's about the only And that's

403
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. And I guess maybe what Gill say?

404
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: Oh okay, the jury still up. But his his his

405
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on Watson were all glowing. And then he had

406
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: he had n't met Oh, I'm sorry six ye because golf.

407
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: Golf was five, Bortles was four, Mariotas three, Winston was too.

408
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: Winston being two blows my mind. I can give you,

409
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: I can understand forget that GoF even, but I can't

410
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: nobody else. That's it. That's still take him over the

411
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: other two anything, I know, I absolutely would it. Tamp

412
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers had their choice right now, James Winston or

413
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I listen. I

414
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: like James Winston. I think he's gonna be a fine pro.

415
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: But man, he's dreadful. Last year any year where everybody

416
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: was healthy, Yeah, everybody was healthy, and he's got weapons

417
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: at his disposal, like like he'd never had before. Yeah, exactly.

418
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: So I started looking for You can't have first round

419
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: mock drafts because they don't help you out right, But

420
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: there are some writers out there that will end up

421
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: doing multi round mock drafts. Yeah. That's becoming more prevalent

422
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, And I mean it's it's a lot

423
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: of work. It's a lot of work to do them

424
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: multi round mock draft But there are a few guys

425
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: Dame Brouger, one of our buddies is great at it. Yeah,

426
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: he did one. Chad Reuter, who writes for NFL dot com,

427
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: he also did one. And then I don't know who

428
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: did it for for the win which the USA Today site.

429
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: I think it might have been Luke Easterling. They did

430
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: multi round mock drafts, and when you get in the

431
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 1: third round, obviously you know those people that don't follow

432
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: it all that much aren't gonna know what players are

433
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: looking at. But I was. I was intrigued by the position,

434
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: and obviously you're doing a mock draft. Sometimes the position

435
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: players that the position you're looking for is kind of

436
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: off the board. You'd go with somebody else at that point,

437
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: because oh, well, but you've got different priorities, of course,

438
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: And so I thought it'd be a good exercise to

439
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: look at in your mind, because people have asked me,

440
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: and I've said, well, I think I think the third

441
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: round ends up being offensive line, preferably at tackle. Yep.

442
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: I think it ends up being a secondary member, more

443
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: than likely a corner. And then I think the third

444
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: one can be a wildcard of a couple of positions.

445
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: I think it could be a tight end. I think

446
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: you'd be a running back. I think it could be

447
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: some sort of pass rusher, sure, some specialized player. What

448
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about those three picks in the third round?

449
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: How do you look at it? I'm gonna make you mad.

450
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: We've been getting along amicably here for this first three

451
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 1: or four minutes of this segment. I'm gonna make you mad.

452
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw all three of those picks and I'm

453
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna throw the saddle. Second round or next year, I'm

454
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: gonna put those four together and I'm gonna trade them

455
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: to New England for Rob Gronkowski. I'm gonna get the

456
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: the greatest tight end to ever suit up and play

457
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: professional football, and I'm adding him to the Texans. Well,

458
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: you know I'm making You're not making me mad with that.

459
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: You are killing my segment. But that's okay because now

460
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: we'll get back into But why not play hypothetical? And

461
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't see, but that's what I would try to

462
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: do because I think these three threes, those three threes

463
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: and then next year's two that you've gotten from Seattle

464
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: and the Dwayne Brown trade to move up or to

465
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: just trade just yeah, so you don't pick it till

466
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: the fourth round. But you get the greatest tight end

467
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: in the history of the game and one of the

468
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: premier I would say, one of the four best players

469
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: in all of the game right now, regardless of position.

470
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: You add them to this offense, with the with with

471
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: the Seaun Watson under center, with DeAndre Hopkins, you've got

472
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: a well of targets. You extend him. I think he

473
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: still has four great years. Pay and pay that man

474
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: his money and uh sort everything else out. Let's go. Now,

475
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't familiar. You know it sounds familiar.

476
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: That sounds like man adding the greatest player at his

477
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: position to a unit that is really really good, and

478
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: you add him to this. He's got great leadership skills

479
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: and he's gonna turn out end up being and man

480
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: Ed Reid turned out to be a bust. Now you

481
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: didn't have to go draft picks to do it. But right,

482
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: I know it. Listen, I know they're two different and

483
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: they're two different things. Can I understand that? But I

484
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: think he's in better shape than ed Read and still

485
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: has much more in the tank than Edred did, much younger,

486
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: much younger, and uh, I just I'm willing to take

487
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: the Gamba and I don't think. I don't think it's

488
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: anything close because when we last saw him, he was

489
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: he was fine. Here's here's here's a question to consider.

490
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: Have you put too much in the pot for that?

491
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: That's the thing, because I think to be parted with

492
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: a lot less to get or toy. They took a

493
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: lot less to give up Jimmy Garoppolo, but I think

494
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: he's accomplished a lot more and is a more important

495
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: part of the present. I think it's an interesting thought

496
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: to do you have to give up that much? If

497
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: they want to give up less, that's cool. But if

498
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: they got a one back from Brandon Cooks, Yeah, and

499
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is nowhere near as important to that offense.

500
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: And now you're looking at it going, okay, Grock, oh boy,

501
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: So like, do you have to give up a one?

502
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really want to do that. I'm

503
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: with you, I don't really want to do it. But

504
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: if that's all you had to do, and I don't

505
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: think I mean, like I'm saying, I'm just you're stoking

506
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: the fires, you know what. Uh, the triple threat came

507
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: up with and I won't I won't call him out.

508
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: Who came up with this idea. What they say, trade

509
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: Whitney merciless. I don't want to do that. I don't

510
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: do that. Here's my thought on that. That's why I

511
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: give up these You you can never I had this conversation.

512
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: In fact, he's now a GM Chris Ballard. I've had

513
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: this conversation when when the Chiefs, when he was with

514
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, they drafted d Ford and I remember when

515
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: they drafted him. I texted him at night and I

516
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: was like, wow, man d Ford, I really like I

517
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: liked for out of Holly in Houston. Yes, And he said,

518
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: you can in this league, you can never have enough

519
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: pass rushers. And I thought it was I thought it

520
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: was a fascinating thought. I think you have a fascinating thought.

521
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: Here's my my My thought with that is you have

522
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: some money while the Shawn is a rookie. And I

523
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: bring that up because in the rookie, in the rookie

524
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: wage scale, you're not being dang twenty twenty five thirty

525
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: million on your salary cap like you may down the

526
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: road with the Shawn. So you could pay Gronk now,

527
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: and I think that I think if you do, you're

528
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: adding double digit touchdown catches. I think he catches double

529
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: digit touchdowns. And I don't think you're taking away from

530
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: Hopkins either. I think he catches double I think you

531
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: have two double digit touchdown reception guys, and you got folders.

532
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an intrigue, it's an intriguing thought. The

533
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: question to me becomes, and you said it he played,

534
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: he's got four more good years. If I knew for

535
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: a fact that Grot could give me twelve plus games

536
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: a year for the next four years, I think I

537
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: would do it. Yeah, I mean I think I would

538
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: do it. So but back to your origins, go back

539
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: to the original thought here the priorities of those three picks.

540
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: If the Texans do hang off to those third round picks,

541
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm with you. At the top. You said, oh, line

542
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: with preference at left tackle or just tackle. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

543
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: And I think I think that's cool. But I don't

544
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: know that there's gonna be a left tackle right there

545
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: at the third. But I'm with you, Boom, that's my

546
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: first second. I would go tight end. Okay, I really

547
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: want to really want to get that that added in right,

548
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: because I think Griffin, I think Anderson are still maturing

549
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: and get better and going to do do nice things

550
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: for you. But then at the third pick of that round,

551
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: is there a running back there that's intriguing and kind

552
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: of such a great value and so highly rated that

553
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: you gotta take them? You know? Is there somebody like

554
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: is it? Is it gonna be more than a pass

555
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: rusher comparatively apples to apples? Yeah, And so I think

556
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: that's where I would go. I'd go left tackle, tight

557
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: end running back with obviously, if it's not a left tackle,

558
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: somebody really good on the old line that's gonna help

559
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: you out. You're gonna like Dame Bruglers. And I'll tell

560
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: you why. First of all, Chad Rugs was the first

561
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: one that I read. He had a defensive end. I

562
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: can't see that at all, like a pure three four

563
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: defensive end or just pure three for defensive end. One

564
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: of the best athletes test positions, Sean Hanna Alabama then

565
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: he had. I wouldn't I mean, okay, I'm not against that.

566
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't see it happened. I wouldn't be I wouldn't

567
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: be opposed to de Shaun hand But it does. Do

568
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: you think he lasts that long? He'll be there, He'll

569
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: be in he'll be in around that also linebacker. Then

570
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: he had in the middle middle pick, he had arden

571
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: KEITHM Lsu, which, first of all, I mean it just

572
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: there's the fit is just off, and I don't think

573
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: arden Key gets all the way the third round, even

574
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: though he does have some issues, but either way. Then

575
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: he had a wide receiver going with the third pick,

576
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: so I can I can get with the defensive end

577
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: maybe in that situation, but with defensive end out the linebacker,

578
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver, no way. So for the win, yeah, no,

579
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you. For the win. They want to Orlando

580
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: Brown at tackle, cool with me. I'm not. I'm not

581
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: at at the third round. Yeah, if you get him

582
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: in the top of third round, I'm cool with that.

583
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: The next pick, the middle pick, was Dante Jackson, cornerback,

584
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: mellish you one of the fastest guys in the draft.

585
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: And then they had Jordan Whitehead, who declared early from

586
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: Pitt it's a safety, okay, so they go tackle corner safety.

587
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: Those are more in line with what we talked about.

588
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: Do you still wait, wait, wait, do you still think

589
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: Brown is gonna last that long? No? I don't, actually,

590
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: because I don't, I really think the game tape. While

591
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: he's horrid at the COMMA, I really think the game time.

592
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyway Orlando Brown gets Yeah, like somebody, somebody,

593
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: I think in the second at the very last, yeah,

594
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: I think so too. Here Dame Brewer comes up with one.

595
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: I actually like this one. He goes with Joe note

596
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: boom Off at the tackle from TCU, the Texans coach

597
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: and the Senior Bowl. I was really impressed with him

598
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: in mobile. I like that pick makes sense. You Chennowassu

599
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: from USC outside linebacker. They also coached him at the

600
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, and I would love that in the middle pick. Now, plus,

601
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: your scouts know a lot about this guy. What were

602
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: your two back positions? I had running positions left tackle,

603
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: tight end and running back tight end running back. The

604
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: last pick of the third round, he has Jalen Samuel's

605
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: from NC State, who might be the only player in

606
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: the history of the game to ever be a tight

607
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: end slash running back. He played tight end at NC

608
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: State and then he used him as a traditional tight end.

609
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: They mean they would line him up, there's some but

610
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: they had him listened in the program as a tight end.

611
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: He would play and do tight end things. Yeah, but

612
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 1: then they would put him at running back and they

613
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: would run him at running back. He got to the

614
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl and he played all running back. He was

615
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 1: on the North squad. He didn't work with the Code Texans,

616
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: but he was on the North squad and then he

617
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: went to the Combine and he was back with the

618
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 1: tight ends. Think about this, he would be fascinating in

619
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: this offense. I told a couple of scouts as we

620
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: were watching. I was like, he would be fascinating our offense.

621
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, yeah, kind of a luxury thing.

622
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: No, No No, I don't think about think about Think about

623
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: how you seen That's a lot of reps that one player.

624
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Think about how you've seen at times Ryan Griffin lineup

625
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: as a running back but he never gets used. Now

626
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: you have that threat. If that's the case, that adds

627
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: another little dimension to your offense. Sold I mean, it's

628
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: a whole different dimension that you have with a player

629
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: like that. And I saw that right away and I went, WHOA,

630
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: that would be really interesting a tight end slash running

631
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: back and you can do a lot of different things

632
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: with yeah, or you can have Gronk. Either way, I'll

633
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: take I'll take Gronk. So you have those on the board. Nope,

634
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: boom and woe sue. Jalen Samuel's like, I like that, Yeah,

635
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: but then you gotta know who you're getting in the

636
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: second round next year. Dan did a good job. I

637
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: think Dan I have a ton of respect for and

638
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: I think he hit out of the park with those

639
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: three picks. He does a year round. I mean he's

640
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: he's not just some guy that swoops in in February.

641
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: He does a year round. He is definitely not that

642
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: Drew appreciate Stumby brother thy time. He's been a lot

643
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: of trade noise, Serronnie Rob Gronkowski, which obviously Drew referenced

644
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: in his trade proposal. Why well, we'll go round the NFL.

645
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: I'll talk about a story that broke earlier today as

646
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: it pertained to Rob Groundkowski and doing the Patriots. We

647
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: do that next to Texans access. So, of course, during

648
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: a break, I started thinking about who else has got four, five, six,

649
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: seven round mock drafts. I forgot about my friends Evan

650
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Silva and my buddy Josh Norrisilver Rotal World. They did

651
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: a seven round mock for all the AFC. This is

652
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: what they have, and I kind of like, I'll tell

653
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: you where. I like this list. In fact, one of

654
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: the names on here, it's funny. I saw today his

655
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: name and I went I got a feeling he'd make

656
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: a good fit. Top pick in the third round, Terout Crosby, Oregon,

657
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: Round three pick number eight, Choe Note Boom TCU. It

658
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: seems weird to go back to back tackles with Josh

659
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: explains about not happen this way, but to make sense

660
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: in terms of need, and that's true. I would I

661
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't be opposed to that whatsoever. I like Nope Book,

662
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: Nope Boom more than I like Crosby. That's just me.

663
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: I a lot of people do like Crosby. I don't

664
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: think he's quite the athlete that I would like. I

665
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: think Nope Boom moves a little better. I think Noe

666
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: Boom overall could be a guy that could play either position.

667
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: But it's cool. Round three, last pick of third round,

668
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: Ian Thomas, Indiana. I don't think he gets all the

669
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: way to this pick, but I love I would love

670
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: this pick. We talked about that a little bit with

671
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst. Haydon Hurst isn't gonna sniff the third round,

672
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: but I like Mark's thought. I marked it a good

673
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: job with Vandermark two point oh Crosby Nope, boom Ian Thomas.

674
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: Fourth round, he's got Taikwan Lewis from Ohio State. I

675
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: don't know that that's really the right fit. I don't

676
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: know that Taikwan is that explosive type. Now he's long.

677
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: I stood next him at the Senior bawl Oh, my goodness,

678
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: get arms for days. Lad to get him in fourth round?

679
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: He got feel pretty good. Round six Kurt Ben Kurt Virginia,

680
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: Texas worked with him at the Senior Bowl, so I

681
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: can see that. Here's the one round six running back

682
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Nall, Oregon State. He he's visited with all thirty

683
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: two teams. He's had some visits. I think he would

684
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: be very interesting as a sixth round running back. Dude

685
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: runs hard hard. He's a big back that can run hard.

686
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: Derek Carrington at Utah. I don't know if I can

687
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: see this. He had to me she's an Oregon before

688
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: he left and went to Utah. He's got some speed

689
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: down the field. But I could see him being a

690
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: guy they take late and then seventh round Traymon Henderson

691
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: was at the Senior Bowl and playing for the North squad,

692
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: and I was standing there watching the North squad. Was

693
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: right next to Marks Robertson, coaches safety's for the Broncos,

694
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: and he was coaching the guys, and I could see

695
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: him really taking a liking to Henderson. He had a

696
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: really good Senior Bowl. Not a really productive player at Hawaii.

697
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: But you get Henderson the seventh round. I think that

698
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: guy can make the team in the seventh round. He's

699
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: got some ability at safe, There's no question about that.

700
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: So interesting mocked draft from a buddy Josh Norris and

701
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: even Sila over at Rodal World. So you definitely want

702
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: to check those out, I thought. As I mentioned, and

703
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. We got one final segment left.

704
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: Chad Reuters Remembell dot Com defensive end. I'll say, a

705
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: linebacker and wide receiver. I just I don't see it.

706
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I mean, Josh had a wider

707
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: receiver going late. I could see the adding wider receiver

708
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: in the draft. I mean, look, they got eight, they

709
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: got eight selections. I think if you went terms of priority,

710
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: Avid line tackle now everybody's been giving him tackle and

711
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: I think they're I want to I don't want to

712
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: sac set a guard, but they've got a lot of

713
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: bodies at guard and center interior positions, where Zach Fulton,

714
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: Nick Martin, Um Center, Seneo Kilamente, Jeff Allen still on

715
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: a roster, you got David Questenberry still there, you got

716
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: Chad Slate still, you got a lot of bodies at guard.

717
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: But I don't I want to be surprised to see

718
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: one of the eight selections be a guy that is

719
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: specifically an interior lineman. I wouldn't be surprised by that whatsoever.

720
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: Um And I'm sure I missed a name as I

721
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 1: was kind of firing through off the top of my head,

722
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: so I apologize if I did. But I still think

723
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: it's offensive line with the focus on tackle. I think

724
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: it's secondary the focus on corner, which I don't think

725
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: Josh had he had a safety on there. I don't

726
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: know if he had corners. Then I think it's tight end.

727
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: I think running back is in that priority mix. I

728
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: think defensive end is down down the way a little

729
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: bit just me. I think with the players they have

730
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: already bringing back Angelo Blackson and Joel Heath being healthy

731
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: Christian Covington coming back healthy. JJ Watt obviously in the

732
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: fact that JD can play inside, I think pass rusher

733
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: needs to be up there in your tight end, just

734
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: to add another one to the mix. I think having

735
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: anybody with some edge speed, anybody that can get off

736
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: get get to the quarterback from the edge, and look,

737
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: Tyrn's gonna do that a little bit. There's no doubt

738
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna rush the quarterback. But I think that's probably

739
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: in terms of priority defensive end at three fort defensive

740
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: ends up down the list a little bit now. DeShawn

741
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: Hand it's a good player, and that was one of

742
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: the first players at Romo Cornell referenced and the Senior

743
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: Bowl when he interviewed him at during a break the

744
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. That's one of the guys that he mentioned.

745
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: It's hard not to miss him. I mean, he is

746
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: a physical specimen. I just don't think they're gonna go

747
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: defensive end a three fort defensive end at that point

748
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: in the draft. I think they still will focus on

749
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: of its line tackle and pick sixty five as excuse me,

750
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: sixty eight, they're gonna be Joe Noe Boom Orlando Brown.

751
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: I think those are all names that are gonna be

752
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: in a conversation. Terrell Crosby's gonna be in that conversation.

753
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be some options there in the third

754
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: round of tackle, guys that can come in and contribute

755
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: and give you something as rookie's. So looking forward to

756
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: seeing what the rest of the mock drafts have to say.

757
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: All right, Le's go around the NFL with a few

758
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: stories that have hit. This was a story that hit

759
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: early in the morning on Monday Taste Monday right yep.

760
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: Report from the Boston Herald stated that Bill Belichick chastised

761
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 1: Gronk in front of his teammates for being a TV

762
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: twelve client, an effort from Belichick to keep other players

763
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: from following the instructions of Tom Brady's trainer, Alex Guerrero

764
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: and back back. I guess it was during the season.

765
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,479
Speaker 1: I suppose during the playoffs, maybe the story broke that

766
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: there was a rift in the Alex Carrero Bill Belichick duo.

767
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: For a long time, Guerrero as a trainer of Brady,

768
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: had been accepting anything, taking our team flights, all that

769
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: kind of stuff traveled with the team, and then there

770
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: was a rift that apparently popped up for the last

771
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: couple of years. The Herald reported that Belichick got after

772
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: Gronkowski in front of his teammates. So is that what

773
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: you know? Gronk has alluded to saying, you know, he's

774
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: just had enough, he wants freedom, all that kind of stuff.

775
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: Who's who's to say what that all means. Drew proposed

776
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: that trade a little while ago in our second segment,

777
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: and I think Belichick would probably ask for all threes,

778
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: all all of the threes in the two next year,

779
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: considering they've got two ones. My goodness, I just don't think.

780
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: I don't think they would do it. I think they'd

781
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: come to their senses and real lies what they have

782
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: with Gronk and could be the greatest tight end ever

783
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: play the game. So I don't know if they'd want

784
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: to do that. But then again, he's already got a

785
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: ton of draft capital, and if they were able to

786
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: make a deal like that, my holy smoke. So Gronk

787
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: apparently not too happy about that. But the consternation that's

788
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: been there between Belichick, Guerrero and now bleeding into Gronkowski

789
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: interesting to note. What's going on in New England? All right,

790
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck met with the media for the first time

791
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: in a while, and it did so on Monday. Because

792
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: the Colts reported back to work. Teams with new coaches

793
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: can report a week earlier for the offseason than teams

794
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: that have coaches already in place, and so the Texans

795
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: will start next week with the rest of the NFL,

796
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: but teams that hired new coaches could start this week.

797
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,439
Speaker 1: And I met the Indiapolis Colts as a Frank Reich, So,

798
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck met with the media today and he said

799
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: in a quote, he's not a perfect feeling athlete right now.

800
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: He does continue to have his sights set on being

801
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: ready for training camp this summer. Luck said he thought

802
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: he quote unquote pushed a little too hard in his

803
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: attempt to return to action after having surgery last year.

804
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: He also updated his progress when it comes to throwing

805
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: to football. Frank Reich said last month, the Luck is

806
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: throwing football is Luck said on Monday he has not

807
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: yet advanced to the point that he's throwing regulations size balls.

808
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: So there's still I would think's going to be some

809
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: consternation there in Indianapolis. Now, Look, it's April. Season doesn't

810
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: start till September, but I would imagine he's got to

811
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: start throwing the football in June, sometime in June July

812
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: to even get ready for some part of training camp.

813
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: So Luck did say later on, need to stay this course.

814
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: So it's just the situation is a little different. Last year,

815
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: it was like, yes, Jim Mercy said, yes, he's gonna

816
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: be there. Yes, he's gonna be there. There's been more

817
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: positivity this year about it from Chris Ballard and even

818
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: Frank Reich. But these things you never know. I read

819
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: a report last year it said he's never coming back.

820
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. I think Andrew Luck

821
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: will come back. But if Andrew Luck does not come back,

822
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: the Cults are in some serious trouble. Now. Jacoby Brissette

823
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 1: will help. The roster has got to be improved, There's

824
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: no question. And that's why I think that Chris Ballard

825
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: will still be in a trading mood when the draft

826
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: weekend comes around. Just a hunch, but I just have

827
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: a feeling that he's gonna load up on draft picks.

828
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: He always and has always trusted himself with draft picks

829
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: to pick the right guy. And if he picks five

830
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: or six of the right guy, five or six of

831
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,800
Speaker 1: the right guys over the next how many ever drafts

832
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: he hits on three or four this year, he hits

833
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: on three or four next year. That thing gets turned

834
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: around pretty quickly if Luck can come back healthy. But

835
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: that ultimately is the key. And I know that's why

836
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: Chris took that job because they had the quarterback in place.

837
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: Shouldn't know that Andrew at that point was dealing with

838
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: the amount of injuries that he was. I mentioned the

839
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: team's report, the Oakland Raiders reported because of John Gruden's hiring,

840
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: but Khalil Mack did not. These are voluntary workouts. That

841
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: is something you're going to hear from a lot of coaches.

842
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: You hear from Bill Brown. These are voluntary workouts. Khalil

843
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: Mack doesn't have to be there. But it is worth

844
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: noting that he's going into the fifth year of his career.

845
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: In that fifty year is Keys the first rounder. So

846
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: the team did exercise that option. But my guess is

847
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: not a showing up is a sign that he would

848
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: like to get that extension. He would like to get

849
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: that and stay with the Oakland Raiders, And maybe this

850
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 1: is a sign who's to say, maybe he just missed

851
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: the day, but Khalil Mack, it's worth noting absent from workouts.

852
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: Eric Reid safety formally of the forty nine ers visiting

853
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: the Bengals and maybe we'll start to see kind of

854
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: a breakthrough on the safeties and their price tag in

855
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: free agency. There are a number of out there that

856
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: are still available. Eric Reed probably being at the top

857
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: oer list, but he's gonna visit with the Bengals. I'll

858
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 1: tell you what. You put him next to George Iloca,

859
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: you got a couple of hard hitting, physical safeties there

860
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: with the Bengals. Late Friday saw this news that Thomas

861
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: Davis have been suspended for four games with the Carolina Panthers.

862
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: That stings on a lot of different levels. I'm a

863
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: big Thomas Davis fan, have always been since his day's

864
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: back at Georgia, and I just have always thought of

865
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: him as being a guy who does the right thing.

866
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: He was, I believe the Walter Payton man a year

867
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: a year or two ago. He's just, to me everything

868
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: football should be about. But he will be suspended for

869
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: the first four games of the season for the Carolina Panthers.

870
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: So there you go some news around the NFL. Appreciate

871
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: you guys listening. Appreciate Drew and Mark for stopping by.

872

Speaker 1: I'll be here tomorrow's Mark will be out so we'll

00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: have more for you on Texans All Access. Appreciate you

874
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: guys being here. We'll see you then, everybody, and as always,
