00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: Welcome Bird Gang on today's show. Three weeks from this

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: week is the twenty twenty two NFL Draft. The Cardinals

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: have eight picks, including one in each of the first

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: three rounds, and to help us kick off our pre

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: draft coverage, Mike Direcki unveils his list of top fifty prospects,

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: beginning with players forty one to fifty. But first, J J. Watt,

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: true to his word, ventured out into the community. It's

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two, Episode five fifty, and it starts now.

9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: Welcome to Cardinals Cover two with Craig Grigolu and Mike Jarecki.

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: Cardinals Cover two is presented by Hyunday, proud partner of

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, and by Arizona Cardinals Podcasts, visit Asy

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Cardinals dot Com, Slash podcasts. Going for Hopkins one hand

13
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: to catch in a touchdown DeAndre Hopkins. Here's Craig grie

14
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Lou and Mike Jarecki. It is good to be JJ Watt.

15
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: He's living the good life, m J, and he's allowing

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: us to follow along for those that might have missed its.

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Last Thursday, March thirty first, he was at Tempe Diablo Stadium,

18
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: to watch the Angels and Brewers play one of their

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: last Cactus League games. There was Watt front row, made

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: it onto the TV broadcast, and then a whole bunch

21
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: of photos posted afterwards with both teams. Because you know,

22
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: Watt's a Milwaukee guy Wisconsin, but he's a big Angels fan,

23
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: as evidenced by his social media posts. Is that because

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: of Otani, Yeah, Johei Otani. There was a picture of

25
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: those two. And then how about this foursome wat Otani,

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: Mike Trouts and Justin Upton prior to Upton being designated

27
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: for assignment. So those were the messages, the photos posted

28
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and then Saturday, the big deal Watt posted

29
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: a video message he wanted to meet the fans, something

30
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: he had mentioned earlier that he'd think he really had

31
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: much of an opportunity because of the pandemic. He wants

32
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: to be out and about. So the message at about

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: noon on Saturday to Cardinal fans join him at a

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: local dive bar coach house in Scottsdale. And there J. J.

35
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: Watt was for a couple of hours and he lets

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: you know that you know, he obviously was going to

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: stay there for maybe an hour and hour and a

38
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: half and then he's gonna go watch the game with

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: his wife. Hit So he gave you a heads up. Yeah,

40
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: I saw pictures. I mean, this guy is a man

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: of the people. I mean, he congrates himself. Even in Wisconsin,

42
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: we don't see a lot of stuff he does there.

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Obviously played college football there, grew up. And then you

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: look at what he did for you know, Katrina raising

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: all that money, I mean over four hundred million dollars.

46
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: I think the goal he said was what one hundred

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: thousand or two hundred fifty thousand, and it just took

48
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: on a life of its own. And here, you know,

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: he has had sporting events, he does go to games,

50
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: but this is really cool that he would do this

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: obviously short notice, but you know who people took advantage

52
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: of it. But that's just who he is. And you know,

53
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: obviously we judge him on what he does on the field,

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: but you cannot knock this guy where he really wants

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: to be ingraded in the community that he's playing in,

56
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: where he lived in, or previews his hometown. I love

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: the message because he had two disclaimers. One he wasn't

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: sure how many people were going to be able to

59
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: be admitted into the bar because it's a small area.

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: And then two, he had to make sure he was

61
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: home by tip off of the Duke North Carolina game

62
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: because as he mentioned, his wife is a tar Hill,

63
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: therefore he is a tar Hill by default. You have

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: to if your wife is a fan of that, then

65
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: he has two and obviously tar Hills win. And as

66
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: jj Watt posted afterwards, happy wife, happy life. Yes, and

67
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: they're looking forward to the to the matchup tonight. But yeah,

68
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: it's nice. And the pandemic, I mean we mentioned it

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: last week when we don't know all the details, but

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: the locker room is going to be open. We really

71
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: have not met DeAndre Hopkins. I can go down the list.

72
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to bore you, but the point is

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: they've been in interviews, some have been zoom, we've been

74
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: in the room, but we haven't had to face to

75
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: face conversation. So um, for those that met JJ Watt,

76
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: we you and I got a chance to see him

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: when talk to him when he got traded correct correct,

78
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: and then after that he's coming here and done some

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: some audio stuff that you, you and Jimmy helped him

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: out on. But otherwise it's like pulling teeth when you

81
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: get when I get talked to these guys. But again,

82
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: I understand the circumstances and they obviously wanted to protect

83
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: the players. Darren Urban had a great story up on

84
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: asy Cardinals dot com. There are some pictures posted, some

85
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: videos posted, and apparently JJ Watt the big winner at

86
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: Golden Tee one of the games that was at Coach House.

87
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of fun by everyone. And

88
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: maybe if you're just there at that bar, at that

89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: dive bar, and all of a sudden and watched J

90
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: J Watt. He was sporting and authentic Steve Nash throwback

91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Sun's uniform. You're like, you're like, god, that looks like

92
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. Well, yes, it was JJ right, Yeah. And

93
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: do you think he has one of those at home,

94
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: a golden tea? Yeah, he might. We know he loves golf.

95
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: I know. I'm just saying, got a big house. Eventually,

96
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: you get a lot of nice toys. So I'm not

97
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: saying he was going there, you know, trying to take

98
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: people's money to play for drinks. I'm just saying I

99
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: wonder if he has some experience with a golden tea

100
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: A little bragging rights and if you're able to beat

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: jj Watt thing, that's what you can ride home about it.

102
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: You say, look, I'd beat jj Watt a golden tier

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: or whatever the game was, So props to jj Watt.

104
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: We'll see if he does this more often, but it

105
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: is a follow if you are a Cardinals fan and

106
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: in the area of America, PA County, the state of Arizona.

107
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: J J. Watt might make a habit of this. Don't

108
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: know that for a fact, but he might be one

109
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: of those guys you want to follow on Twitter or

110
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Instagram because you don't know where he's going to be

111
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden invite people out for

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: a meet and Greek. Well, I would think it would

113
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: be around a sporting event, correct, you know, obviously, you know,

114
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals players will be in town. I'm

115
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 1: sure there'll be a lot of Cardinal players at Suns games.

116
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,119
Speaker 1: Maybe he can do something else, but I think it's

117
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: got to be around a sporting event. For maybe it's

118
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: off site where he's going to be there, but I

119
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: anticipate a lot of those guys are going to be

120
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: going into the Sun's playoff games. April nineteenth, that's the date.

121
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday is when the Cardinals will begin their workout program.

122
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: That is the date that they have selected. They could

123
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: have started on that Monday, the eighteenth, but they're allowing

124
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: another day and beginning on Tuesday. There are a handful

125
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: of teams that are beginning on this Monday. Because offseason

126
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: workout programs are allowed for teams with new head coaches,

127
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: you get a little bit of a headstart. Dolphins, Bears, Giants,

128
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: and Saints. I saw all beginning here on this Monday,

129
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: April fourth. Yeah, and we'll put a period on jj wat.

130
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how much he's been at the facility.

131
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: He came back. I don't think he was one hundred percent,

132
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: but he obviously, you know, you know, made a commitment

133
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: to come back try to give this team a lift.

134
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know how much she's going

135
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: to do in the off season, but hopefully he could

136
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: stay healthy because they need him. I mean, you know,

137
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: after the first couple of games, you start to see

138
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: him settle in. But I'm glad that he does a

139
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: lot of cardio. He's been in the weight room with

140
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. There was a video last week, so I

141
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: think he's good to go, and he's probably got a

142
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder where he wants to come in

143
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: here and play all seventeen games, and you can't control that.

144
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: Though his numbers weren't outstanding, I mean, then jump off

145
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: the page those first seven games, but you could tell

146
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: the impact that he had his teammates making plays because

147
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: offenses had to account for jj Watt. It's no different

148
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: than the DeAndre Hopkins. His numbers weren't eye popping, but

149
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: defense had to account for number ten. And I think

150
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: that you talk about presence and there is no column

151
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: in the stat sheet that you can circle or point

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: to and say that was where that player made an impact.

153
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: But DeAndre Hopkins a JJ Watt, just them being on

154
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: the field can be the difference and a play being

155
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: made or play not being made. Well, I mean, let's

156
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: be honesty. He was on the field in week one

157
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: and who were they gonna double? Are they gonna double

158
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: jj Watt? They don't show in the stat sheet. He

159
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: split a double team and he allowed somebody else to

160
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: come in there and clean up. He did have a

161
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: tackle for loss, I want to say in the second

162
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: play of the game, and then Chandler Jones. I mean,

163
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: he had five sacks in that game. So yeah, again,

164
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: we want jj Watter the team. We want him deep

165
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: into the postseason. But obviously, you know he's getting up

166
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: there in age, and he takes care of his body.

167
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: It's this unfortunate that injury happened, and he stayed in

168
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: the game until the third quarter, and then finally you

169
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: could see he was protecting that shoulder and that's not

170
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: a good thing when you're trying to tackle. And he

171
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: was really coming into his own as far as those

172
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: numbers those last three games before the injury, nine tackles,

173
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: three tackles for loss, sacks, seven quarterback hits, two passes defense,

174
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: one force fumble. So he was making an impact even

175
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: in the stack column. But early on in the season

176
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: was all right to your point, Tennessee Titans Week one,

177
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: they're very familiar with JJ Watt. What are you gonna do?

178
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: Pay attention to ninety nine or number fifty five, which

179
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: had an outstanding Week one performance, and then all of

180
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: a sudden, teams yerk, we can't double both, so you

181
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: had to pick one or the other. Well, you know,

182
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: you look at it. If they were to run the football,

183
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: JJ Watt would have had more of an impact because

184
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: of the rush defense here. They got behind and had

185
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: to throw it, and that's where the Cardinals kind of

186
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: teaed off. But normally they thought they can run the

187
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: football down our throats and that did not happen. Now,

188
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: it did happen the following weeks till he got hurt.

189
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: But when you go into that game plan, hey we'll

190
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: just ship this guy, but we think we can run

191
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: on JJ Watt and this Cardinals defense, and it did

192
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: not happen. So hopefully a healthy for seventeen games JJ

193
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: Watt and DeAndre Hopkins. That's the goal in twenty twenty two.

194
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: As we continue here on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday,

195
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: probably partner of the Arizona Cardinals. The other item I

196
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: wanted to point out, and this was something that from Afar,

197
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: I had a thought and then I related it to

198
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: you and you had the same thought. And maybe maybe

199
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: we're not on an island here. Maybe other fans had

200
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: the same thought as well. And this was a trade

201
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: on Saturday between the Dolphins and Patriots. Forget the fact

202
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: that division in division trades don't happen a lot, but

203
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: the fact that all of a sudden, wide receiver Ante Parker,

204
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: who was not on the trade block, but his name

205
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: surfaced immediately following the Tyree Hill acquisition, that what were

206
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: the Dolphins going to do with all these weapons? And

207
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: perhaps maybe they would be open to parting with one

208
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: of those players to make it a little bit easier

209
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: for everyone else. Well. DeVante Parker, wide receiver, twenty nine

210
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: years old, He's six foot three. He does fill a

211
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: need for the Arizona Cardinals as far as that outside

212
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and the Patriots acquire him for a third

213
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: round pick, but not this year's third round pick, a

214
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three third round pick. And my question to

215
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: you over the weekend, MJ was, and again without knowing anything,

216
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: I hope that the Cardinals at least picked up the

217
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: phone and inquired, because what have we been talking about?

218
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: Edge rusher and an outside wide receiver? And I need

219
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: to qualify as far as I keep saying number two

220
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but I do think that perhaps maybe that

221
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: could be run down more, maybe that could be someone else,

222
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: Zach Kurds. As far as a pass catcher, would I say,

223
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: another wide receiver or an outside wide receiver, I'm looking

224
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: for that six foot or taller wide receiver on the

225
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: outside opposite DeAndre Hopkins that can help stretch the field

226
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: and open up the middle. Yeah, I mean, you know,

227
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: you see some of these guys come off the board,

228
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: and you know clearly that Cardinals don't have the cap

229
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: space that other teams have, and that's just part of

230
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: the you know, obviously probably waiting for the market to

231
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: dry up some guys. You know that teams are going

232
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,239
Speaker 1: in camp. Cardinals open up their camp on the sixteenth,

233
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: so maybe we'll see some more additions. Obviously you can

234
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: only have ninety men roster. But yeah, I thought the

235
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: same thing. And it's interesting they traded inside the division,

236
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: which you normally don't see. It's it's happened more this offseason.

237
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: And then you go back to when Donovan mcnabi was

238
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: traded from the Eagles to Washington. It's very unusual the

239
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: trade in the division. And obviously Belichick felt like he

240
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: was not going to overpay for one of these receivers

241
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: and he gets him on a two year deal about

242
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: six million. There's no bonus money involved, and to me,

243
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: he's an ex receiver, so he basically would be hot

244
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean he can't play on the other side.

245
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: And we don't know. I don't I don't want to

246
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: pigeonhole Rondel Moore is a number two receiver right now.

247
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: I think he's more three and then Wesley and then

248
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: he could grow into that number two as far as

249
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: being your second best threat as a pass key. Yes,

250
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: and if he if he learns a route tree like

251
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, not comparing just the fact that Sean Jefferson

252
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: had a conversation with him. I think Urch is gonna

253
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: get targeted, probably more just based on matchups. But yeah,

254
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: I think it's more of a three. But he's gonna

255
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: be on the field for all three downs. I mean

256
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: it's not like you're gonna take him off and rotate.

257
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: I mean, rondel Moore is going to have a bigger role.

258
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: I just don't want to just pigeonhole a automatically he's

259
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: a number two. I think that's unfair to him. I mean,

260
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: you can have a plan. Hey, we see him as

261
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: that next wide receiver, that number two wide receiver, meaning

262
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: he can be inside outside and perhaps be to your

263
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: comparison Cooper Cup, who moves around a lot, and he

264
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: is the Rams number one wide receiver. For the Cardinals,

265
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: it's Deander Hopkins. Then there's a question mark, there's an

266
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: honest question mark as far as your second best wide

267
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: receiver right now on paper, it's rondel Moore. And I'm

268
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: just counting wide receivers, not including tight ends and running backs,

269
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: because potentially this offense you might have Zach Ertz as

270
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: your number two wide receiver pass catcher, if you will.

271
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: How does James Connor fit into that mix to where

272
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: rondel Moore maybe when you look at the final stats,

273
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: he's your fourth best receiver in terms of catches and

274
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: receiving yards. I still think this offense needs someone else,

275
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: and it can't be Antoine Wesley. It can't be someone

276
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: you get in the draft, either in the first day

277
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: or the second day, meaning in the second or third round.

278
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: That's too much pressure to put on a young player

279
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Yeah, and we know the Cardinals have

280
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: definitely an invest it with wide receivers in the second round,

281
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: rondel Moore, Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella. And then you look

282
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: at that draft between a Kim Butler and Keyshun Johnson,

283
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: it just didn't pan out and again, they've had different

284
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers coaches. They have one of the best technicians,

285
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, look at Christian Kirk. It took

286
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: him a while to be that third receiver and last

287
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: year obviously when no longer Larry, that was just his role.

288
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: But it takes it takes a little time. But again,

289
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: I think we agree about this guy's he's got a

290
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: mature mentality. Kind of reminds me of Bolden when he

291
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: came into camp where it's all business. So I'm sure

292
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: he's working out and you know, I don't know if

293
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: it's a breakout year, but he's gonna he's definitely gonna

294
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: be used and they're gonna move him around. And that's

295
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: something that the offense got stagnant last year when hop out.

296
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: Sean Jefferson brought that up on his conversation with Paul

297
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: Calvci and Ron Wolfley on The Big Red Rage earlier

298
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: this offseason, about expanding that route tree for Rondel Moore,

299
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: putting him outside, utilizing his speed. He is fast and

300
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: if he can beat that defender off the line of

301
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: scrimmage and all of a sudden, he's got a step

302
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: or two, and that's really all he needs and not

303
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, heck, you know, in this level of football,

304
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: you don't need a lot of separation. A Quarterbacks have

305
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: to throw the football and sometimes throw you open even

306
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: though you might be quote unquote covered. Still put the

307
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: ball in position to where one of the two things

308
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: happened Rondel Moore catches it or it's out of bounds,

309
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: or it's deflected by more to where he does not

310
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: the defender doesn't get his hand on the football. All right,

311
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: So let's say hypothetically the Cardinals are able to retain

312
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: aj Green, and maybe they're waiting for the draft because

313
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: according to Daniel Jeremiah, you can go twenty deep at

314
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: edge rusher. Wow. I mean again, some guys are gonna fallow.

315
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Some guys will once you get a run in a position.

316
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: You'll see how fast they come off the board. But

317
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: if what if they if they were able to sign

318
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: an outside linebacker. Again, I don't want to throw out

319
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: a names because people start to connect. I don't have

320
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: any information, but you you think if you drafted or

321
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: receiver in the first round, he wouldn't be ready, or

322
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: just the complex of the offense. I think it's asking

323
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: too much and who knows is maybe you get through

324
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: the offseason workouts, you get through training camp in that

325
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: young wide receiver pick number twenty three, you're like, you

326
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: know what, we have something here, and maybe we do

327
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: have AJ Green, But all of a sudden, it's okay,

328
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: well we're now we're gonna split reps ie a year ago,

329
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler and Marco Wilson. You bring in a Malcolm

330
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Butler because you don't know what you're gonna have at

331
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: your roster when the draft is finished. And then you

332
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: get into training camp and you're like, this young kid,

333
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson, he's pushing for time and you know he's

334
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna he has to be on the football field. And

335
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: that's what that's part of what happened why Malcolm Butler

336
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: kind of walked away from the Arizona Cardinals in his

337
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: one year of retirement. See that, This is the way

338
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. And we've talked about twelve personnel, but I'm

339
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: thinking if you retain AJ Green, okay, and you know,

340
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: I think he made six plus. I don't know what

341
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: kind of markets out there. We know the Cardinals obviously

342
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: having sent it in a lot of contracts, you can

343
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, obviously move money around, but if you if

344
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: you retain aj Green and you draft a guy, he's

345
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to play every down. You know, you

346
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: give small sample And I know the thing is, whoever

347
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: you pick at twenty three, now, if they take a tackle,

348
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: is that guy going to see the field this year?

349
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: But also Calvin Beatson's a free agent. Humphreys is a

350
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: free agent, which you think they'll try to retain him

351
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: at some point, and the fan base would go nuts

352
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 1: because Zaven Collins didn't see the field last year as

353
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: much as you see him Simmons, and it was really

354
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. I'm not saying he's

355
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: a plug and play guy, but he can have a

356
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: role on this team where he's forty snaps and all

357
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's the speed guy. Because you and

358
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: I and Darren and Danny Serek we did a video

359
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: and they're all shapes and sizes when it comes to

360
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: these receivers, and you've been very consistent when I don't

361
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: want any more small receivers. But you look at a

362
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: couple of the Ohio State receivers, they're they're fast. I mean,

363
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: I know we got Rondale Moore and we'll see what

364
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: Anty Isabella. But there's some guy six two six three

365
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: six four, and I think that's what you're looking for.

366
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: You want someone again, it's it's my own personal want

367
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: slash need with a wide receiver. Someone who is six

368
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: two six three six four can obviously catch the ball,

369
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: strong hands and knows what they're doing as far as

370
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: running routes. Who that wide receiver is, I don't have names.

371
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert. I don't break down film. I

372
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: leave it to those individuals. That's what they do. And

373
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: obviously we just react here on Cardinals Cover two presented

374
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: by Hunday proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals. But that

375
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: is that is kind of my want. The same goes

376
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: for outside linebacker. Those two positions edge rusher and a

377
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver and outside wide receiver, those two

378
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: positions need to be addressed, and I don't know if

379
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: they will before the draft. And even if there aren't,

380
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: and even if you find that edge rusher and wide

381
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: receiver two of your top three picks first round, second round,

382
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: third round, I do want to see a veteran signed because,

383
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: as history indicates, you can't count on a rookie to

384
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: come in and be ready week one. Now, if it happens, great,

385
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: I applaud the player, I applaud the front offers for

386
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: getting it right. But you have to have a backup plan. Yeah,

387
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: we've seen this over the past though. I mean, it

388
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: sounds good on draft night and then you try to

389
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: figure out how is he gonna, you know, get on

390
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: the field. But you know, that's that's the beauty of

391
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, you know, I know Steve made that

392
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: common unseen Zavian Collins, and at the end of the day,

393
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta let the coaches decide who's going

394
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: to start. And clearly he wasn't ready, but they're they're

395
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: hoping big things from him. Yeah, so if you sign

396
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: aj Green, it's still in need though, correct, So maybe

397
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: you can go corner or pass rushing and try to

398
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: get a wide receiver in the second round. Yes, and

399
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: that's and that's where you like, all right, this class

400
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: is deep at certain positions. It's obviously, according to Darren

401
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Daniel jeremianah NFL Network that it's deep at edge rusher,

402
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: but there's a dramatic drop off between the say of

403
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: the top four top five and then everyone else. So

404
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: where do you how do you rank your board based

405
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: off positional needs? And then within those positional needs at

406
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: edge rusher, wide receiver, cornerback, how do you rank those

407
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: players and give a quote unquote grade. Can you find

408
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: that corner in the third round and be comfortable? Can

409
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: you find that edge rusher and the second round and

410
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: still be comfortable. Hey, we've got someone here. And I'm

411
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: not saying you need someone that can get you double

412
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: digit zacks, but get into the backfield, disrupt an offense

413
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: and have an impact. You know, I'm not I haven't

414
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: seen enough Victor d Mukagi to say he couldn't he

415
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: can be that guy. We got the camp on Draft

416
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,239
Speaker 1: night that he's like Marcus Golden. Well that's great, but

417
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: he's not there yet. And I'm sorry. I can't go

418
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: into Week one with Marcus Golden on one side and

419
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: d Mukagi on the other and say all right, let's

420
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: go play ball. Yeah. I don't think we're gonna see that.

421
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: But he you know, he learned to play special teams

422
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: last year. And I got a chance to talk to

423
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 1: Jeff Rogers and he said he exceeded his expectations. He said,

424
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy that works hard in camp, doesn't take

425
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: a playoff, you know. But if you want to get

426
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: with a rotation a certain package, I would bring him

427
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: in because I think he's I think he can accelerate,

428
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: he's got strong hands. Could he win one on one

429
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: matchup with a guy six five? I don't know, but

430
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying though, I would think he'd be more involved

431
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: in packages because he's going to be active on game day,

432
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: playing on teams. So you have a rotation at edge rusher,

433
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: perhaps you have a rotation at cornerback, a rotation at

434
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver, depending on how all of this shakes up,

435
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: But to me, it's edge rusher. When I say a

436
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver, an outside wide receiver, and cornerback,

437
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: those would be the three wants slash needs within this draft.

438
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: To remember, you've got eight draft picks, one in each

439
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: of the first three rounds and then not again until

440
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: the sixth rounds, So there is a long time to waits.

441
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: And it's going back to our conversation about DeVante Parker

442
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 1: was a third round pick too much next year? And

443
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: it's next year, but it was that still too high

444
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: of a price to pay for the Arizona Cards if

445
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: even if they had any interest, which I do not know,

446
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: but just looking at my personal want to need tall

447
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver. He's a known although the last two seasons

448
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: haven't been great. His best year is twenty nineteen, and

449
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: his numbers I've kind of dropped off each of the

450
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: past two seasons. So as it Davante Parker is at

451
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: AJ Green, I just want someone there and it not

452
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: be a draft pick. Well, if you're talking about tall receivers,

453
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: I don't think the Cardinals would have any interest in

454
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: to kill Harry. A lot of fans thought they would

455
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: draft him, but they went with Byron Murphy at that point,

456
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: so they wanted the corner. But yeah, I mean it

457
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: looks like this is a huge indictment on to kill Harry.

458
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's disappointing because he looks the part.

459
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: He is, that tall receiver, but he can't get off

460
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: press coverage, slow coming out of his brakes. So we'll

461
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: see if they try to trade him. But I don't

462
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: think the Cardinals would have any interest in to kill

463
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: carry Cardinals. Covered two presented by Hunday Proud, partner of

464
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. This our first show in the month

465
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: of April, and April means draft coverage, and we did

466
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: this a year ago and had a lot of fun

467
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: with it because it allowed at least allowed myself to

468
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: kind of famil your eyes myself with a lot of

469
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: these names. And when you're picking twenty three, you have

470
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: to know a lot of different names, and maybe even

471
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: with that second round pick number fifty five overall, someone

472
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: that you hope can contribute right away. So we put

473
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: Mike Jarecki to task. We gave him a homework assignment

474
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: as far as top fifty draft prospects, not a mock draft,

475
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: but his fifty best draft prospects regardless of position, and

476
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: then he ranks them and then we kind of talk

477
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: about him. And we'll do a little of this each

478
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: and every show ahead of the first round on April

479
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, as far as Day one of the NFL Draft,

480
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: but Mike Direcki's top fifty draft prospects will begin to

481
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: unveil those here on Cardinals Cover two presented by Hunday

482
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: proud partner of the Arizona Cardinals, and we'll rank him

483
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: on this show. This episode numbers fifty to forty one

484
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: top fifty prospects according to Mike Jarecki, and in at

485
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: number fifty Texas A and M defensive lineman. Then Marvin

486
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: Leall junior six foot four, two hundred and eighty three pounds. Now,

487
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: if you go back to last season, he was top

488
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: ten and a lot of different draft boards. But sadly

489
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: he didn't perform at a high level and he took

490
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: a step back. But you know, the question is can

491
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: he develop in the future. But he's got the size.

492
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: His grades were down, but you look at him. He

493
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: was the first team Associated Press All American. He went

494
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: to Texas A and M. You're gonna see a lot

495
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: of players get drafted THERAF with Jumbow Fisher, Jim bow Fisher.

496
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: He was first team All scc AP All Pro Team.

497
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: He's played in twenty nine games. He does have twenty

498
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: five tackle for losses. He is a defensive tackle. But

499
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: he's got good size. I do think he'll go in

500
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: the second round. But when he when he pop in

501
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: the tape, it looks like he took a step back,

502
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know if that was injury or not.

503
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: But like I said, he's got good size. Um, you know,

504
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: he's a he's a guy that you know when you

505
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: look at his career, and initially he only played seven

506
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: games ten and twelve. So he has played in thirty

507
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: five games with twenty nine starts and against six four

508
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: two ninety. He's got really good size and he's from

509
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: San Antonio, Texas, a finalist for the Ted Hendricks Award,

510
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 1: which is given to the nation's top defensive end. So

511
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: he did play a little bit on the edge and interior.

512
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: We'll kind of have to kind of wait and see

513
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: what that particular team would look at him as far

514
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: as all right, are you a three down or are you,

515
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, put your hand in the dirt defensive end?

516
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: Are you more inside to kind of occupy space? But

517
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: the Marvin Leall junior six foot four out of Texas

518
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: A and M number fifty on Mike Jarecki's top fifty

519
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: draft prospects, all right, another defensive lineman number forty nine

520
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: out of Houston, Logan Hall senior six six, two hundred

521
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: and eighty three, ran a sub four nine forty and

522
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: had a thirty inch vertical jump. An athletic defensive linement. Again,

523
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: can play both the edge and interior. Yeah, and we

524
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: focus so much on the edge rusher obvious because you

525
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: lost Chandler Jones, and you know you got to find

526
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: someone that can win some one on one matchups. But

527
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: let's be honest. I mean this defensive line last year,

528
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: they're gritting gash at certain times. Obviously you get a

529
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: healthy JJ Watt see more development and Richard Lawrence and

530
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: Lucky Foe two and Michael Dogbee. But you look at this.

531
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: He was a first team All American Athletic Conference career

532
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: high forty eight tackles, thirteen tackle for losses, six point

533
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: five sacks. He accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl,

534
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: and you know there he played twelve games and three

535
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: starts at nose tackle. So you're right, he can move

536
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Including Bruce Feldman. He had him

537
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: on his twenty twenty one Freak List three hundred and

538
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: seventy pound bench back, three sixty five clean and so

539
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman labeled him as kind of a freak when

540
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: you look at that size, almost six six and two

541
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pounds. Already, there are a lot of

542
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: Cardinal fans kind of putting one and one together to

543
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: get two because Vance Joseph was at Houston's Pro day

544
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: and actually spoke was asked about Logan Hall in particular.

545
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: Fox twenty six is Mark Berman, and if you go

546
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: to his social media account there is a video Advanced Joseph.

547
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: Here is what Coach Joseph had to say, specifically about

548
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: Logan Hall. Quote, the size of the movement. He's in

549
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: great shape. The league now has become a lateral game,

550
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: so to have big guys who can run and hustle constantly,

551
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: it gives a defense a huge advantage. He's a kid

552
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: who can obviously run and make plays in the backfield,

553
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: obviously rushed the passer. Due Now is Logan Hall available

554
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: at number twenty three? I think that's way too too

555
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: much of elite, But perhaps at number fifty five in

556
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: the second round, depending on did Coach Joseph like what

557
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: he had to see at a Logan Hall at Houston's

558
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: Pro day and the compass Marcus Davenport, you remember he

559
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: was kind of he went to the Saints. Everyone was surprised.

560
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: I know the Cardinals would have interested in him. Soosim

561
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: is long range defensive tackle him to add weight a password,

562
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: he comes off the ball a little bit too high,

563
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: but again I think that's a position where you can

564
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: plug and play. And we mentioned some of the guys

565
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: on the roster right now, it'd be nice to you know,

566
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen with Corey Peters, JJ

567
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: Watson not gonna play forever, so more of a second

568
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: round pick, but he has he has the upside to

569
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: where you think as long as he's in shape. And

570
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: that was good to Van said that. You know, obviously

571
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: that's our biggest interview as a protein in the combine.

572
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: So that's a name to keep an eye on. Whether

573
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 1: he gets to fifty five or not. But I do

574
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: think he's going to be in the top fifty or

575
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: top sixty. Well, he did make Mike Drecki's top fifty list.

576
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: As we continue counting down and at number forty eight,

577
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: a theme here because we've got another defensive lineman, Oklahoma

578
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: defensive tackle perry On Winfrey Senior, six foot four, two

579
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety pounds. He checks in at number fifty eight.

580
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: This is a big boy, Craig six four, as you mentioned,

581
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: three h three, his wing spans eighty six inches. Now,

582
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: he accepted an invitation to the to the Senior Bowl.

583
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: He was the second team two time All Big Conference

584
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: in twenty and twenty one. Last year he had eleven

585
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: tackle for losses five and a half sacks in twelve games.

586
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: But he's a guy hasn't played a lot of football.

587
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: He was at Iowa Western Community College the first two

588
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: years and then he transferred to play at Oklahoma. He

589
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: has twenty three games he started twenty. He has seventeen

590
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: tackle for losses, so he's more of an interior guy.

591
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: He's not really going to fill up the stat sheet,

592
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: but he does have tackle at the line of scrimmage

593
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: at least forty two. He was the MVP of the

594
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. Five tackles, one tackle for loss and two sacks.

595
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: So he was very disruptive and there are a lot

596
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: of teams that put a lot of stock in what

597
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: you do the week of and then the game itself.

598
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: Remember that's where the Cardinals kind of really fell in

599
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: love with his son, Reddick was during the Senior Bowl.

600
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: So berry On Winfrey six four two ninety, second team

601
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: All Big twelve, but the MVP of the Senior Bowl.

602
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: So the dominant performance and non contest. So your first

603
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: three draft prospects out of the gate fifty forty nine,

604
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: forty eights, all on the defensive line. Yeah, and if

605
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: I recall, they couldn't they couldn't block him. Now he

606
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: can go a lot higher. Again, I think it's gonna

607
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: be you're seeing a lot of edge rushers. You're gonna

608
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: see some wide receivers, You're gonna see offensive tackles. You

609
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: could have a couple of quarterbacks in there. I don't

610
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: know about tight end and running back. Maybe later in

611
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: the first round. But yeah, he was unblockable. So again,

612
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: this is why I think the Cardinals need They ain't

613
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: need another defensive tackle. We focus on the pass rusher.

614
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: I get that, but you know, considering the teams that

615
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: are on their schedule, you can start looking at the

616
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: running backs in their offensive line. He may go a

617
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: lot higher. Again, this is not a mock draft. I'm

618
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: just ranking players from from fifty to one. Well, we

619
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: stay on the defensive side, but now looking at edge rusher,

620
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: and this might be the one one of the more

621
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: intriguing names as far as draft prospects because you have

622
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: at number forty seven, Michigan outside linebacker David Ojabo junior,

623
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: six foot four two hundred and fifty pounds. He is

624
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: or was projected to be a Day one selection, but

625
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: a or to kill he suffered at his pro day

626
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: has many people projecting him now to be a day

627
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: to hear his name called. Well, I think if you're

628
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: a team picking in the late twenties, and I'm not

629
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: including the Cardinals, share because it looks like he may

630
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: have to red shirt. Maybe he's available in the second

631
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: half of the season. But if you have a team

632
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: that maybe you have an older veteran player playing that position,

633
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: you may want to take a flyer at him and

634
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: just a red shirt him. You're not drafting him for

635
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: one year, and plus you get that fifth year option.

636
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't. He definitely lost a lot of money. It's unfortunate. Now,

637
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, second team Associated Press All American, First

638
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: Team All Big Ten. He was a Defensive Scout Team

639
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. He started playing football in high school.

640
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: The problem is he's only played He's played in twenty games,

641
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: but he's only started seven. Again, he was born in Nigeria.

642
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: He moved to Scotland in two thousand and seven, and

643
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: then he came to the USA for high school. So

644
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: maybe a late bloomer, but he's a guy that's productive

645
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: when he's on the field. But again, he's a elite bloomer,

646
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: but he did grow up in Nigeria. And you look

647
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: at his numbers this past season, thirty five tackles, twelve

648
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: tackles for loss, eleven sacks, a school record five forced fumbles.

649
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: Now that sounds great, but you have to remember his

650
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: teammate Aiden Hutchinson. So now all of a sudden, you've

651
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: got two of these dynamic edge rushers and defense, excuse me,

652
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: offenses after go all right, well what do we do here?

653
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: So is Ojabo? Can he do it on his own

654
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: or did he need a little bit of help? Well,

655
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's an interesting because when you go

656
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: through the list, I got a ton of Georgia players

657
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: and Alabama players in Texas A and m Um. I

658
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: do think if he didn't get hurt, he could have

659
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: been a top twenty pick. I don't think there's any

660
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: question about that, right. But now it's just and again,

661
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: if there's eight teams that have two picks each in

662
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: the first round, and if you got that veteran player

663
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: that you know, let's look ahead a bit, Well, there's

664
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: a red shirt. This guy, it's as possible, but he's

665
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: not going to go as high as he everyone thought

666
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: he would. And I don't think that's an option for

667
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals because I don't think they can roll the

668
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: dice take a chance on someone for years to come.

669
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: They need that guy, especially if picked number twenty three,

670
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: to really kind of perform right now. You can't wait.

671
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: All right, We continue Mike Jarecki's top fifty draft prospects.

672
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: Still looking for our first offensive player, but it's not

673
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: going to come in at number forty six as safety.

674
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: Georgia's safety Lewin Sign junior six two one ninety nine

675
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: ran a four three seven forty the defensive MVP of

676
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: the National Championship Game. So we've seen defensive lineman, one linebacker,

677
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: and now and at number forty six our first safety

678
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: Lewin Sign. Yeah, and he's tall and lanky's as you mentioned,

679
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: six one, two hundred pounds. He played for Georgia. Maybe

680
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: you remember in the Bowl game. But this guy, as

681
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned, the defensive MVP, but also twenty twenty one

682
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: thirteam Associated Press All American twenty twenty one second team

683
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: All SEC. He leave a team in tackles in PBUs

684
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: he had seventy three tackles and nine and passes. Now

685
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: you look at a guy he's played in thirty nine games,

686
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: but over the last two years he started twenty five,

687
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: so you could see he's He's obviously a talented player.

688
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: He was highly recruited. He's a four star recruit coming

689
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: out of Texas and he was named the twenty seventeen

690
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: m A Defensive Player of the Year by the USA Today.

691
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: So this guy, obviously, when you go to Georgia, you

692
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: better bring your hard hit. And it seems like he

693
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: does play a little bit more away from the line

694
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Based off his overall numbers, two interceptions, fourteen

695
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: pass deflections, not a lot of you know, in the

696
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: backfield movement, but someone at six two one ninety nine,

697
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big, big safety for a team

698
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: that is looking for props safety. If I don't think

699
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are right now with Buddha Baker and Jalen Thomps. Yeah,

700
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: and let's not forget about James Wiggins. You know, I

701
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: know he hasn't got a chance to play, but I

702
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: ran into him the other name boy. He looks like

703
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: he's been hit in the weight room in The good

704
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: news is when you look at Lewis, I mean he

705
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: started all fifteen games, so it's not like you know,

706
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: his first year he only played in started fourteen, but

707
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: he only had two games starts that was more on

708
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: special teams. But it seems like his durability is there

709
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: and that's something that will help him. Five picks and

710
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: or i should say five draft prospects into our countdown

711
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: from number fifty and at forty five our first offensive

712
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: player and it is a wide receiver out in North

713
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: Dakota States. Christian Watson six four two o eight ran

714
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: a sub four four forty and a thirty eight and

715
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: a half inch vertical jump at the Combine. This guy

716
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: is a freak, tall and lean. As you mentioned six

717
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: to eleven. You know, you look at his career, he's

718
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: played in fifty two games start at thirty one. He

719
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: has one hundred and five receptions, two thousand yards averages

720
00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: twenty yards to catch, fourteen receiving touchdowns, and he also

721
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: has rushing touchdown, so he's using more of a gadget guy.

722
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: He accepted an invitation to the Combine. He was second

723
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: team Associated Press All American for a FC school, First

724
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: Team All Missouri. So this guy went to a small

725
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: school and we know that when you look Carson Wentz

726
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: and even you know, take a guy like Josh Allen,

727
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: if you can play football, they're gonna find you. Look

728
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: a look a Cooper Cup I mean third round, right, Yeah,

729
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: he was a mid pick that you know. Now all

730
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's one of the best, if not

731
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: the best wide receivers in all of football. And the

732
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: ability if for Watsonson not only catch the ball, but

733
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: run the ball and return kicks. So you're getting someone

734
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: that can fill three different spots on your roster. You

735
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: look at Watson's jeans and his family. His brother Trey

736
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: played linebacker at Illinois and Maryland. He eventually played in

737
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: the XFL. His father Tim played at Harvard, had a

738
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: five year career. His uncle Cedric played football at Marshall,

739
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: So he grew up playing football. Yeah, it's in his blood.

740
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: It's it's part of the family playing and not only

741
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: high college football, but also in the NFL as well.

742
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: So Christian Watson, wide receiver out of North Dakota States

743
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: in at number forty five forty four. Another wide receiver

744
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: Western Michigan sky more and sky is spelled sk y.

745
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: Why two wise, if the Cardinals select him, will have

746
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: to ask why that second? Why? But five ten one

747
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: ninety five ran a four four one forty thirty four

748
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: and a half inch vertical jump, A three year starter

749
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: out of Western Michigan. Man, I really like this guy,

750
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: and I know he's only five ten one ninety five

751
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: and we have a you know, the Cardinals have a

752
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: couple of guys in the roster light there. But yeah,

753
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about production. I mean this guy

754
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: started in twenty nine games, one hundred and seventy one catches,

755
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred yards, sixteen receiving touchdowns. He had three rushing.

756
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: He was a two time first team All Mack in

757
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Twenty twenty, he tied for ninth in college

758
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: football with ninety five receptions. He's he could fly now.

759
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: He's a two time Conference offensive player. He's also named

760
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: defensive player as a senior. Played quarterback in dB in

761
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: high school, lettered in basketball. Also an All selection as

762
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: a point guard as a junior and senior. So this

763
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: guy is fast. A little spud web out there. I

764
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: don't know if spud Web was spud Web was five ten,

765
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: would be a growth. I really like this guy, don't.

766
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be a first round pick

767
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: just because you had He's part of it though. Eight

768
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: receivers ran over four under four to four. But again

769
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: they are all come in different shapes and sizes. But

770
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: if you're a team, if he didn't have Rondel Moore Man,

771
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: this guy would be really attreating and Burgang. I'll say

772
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: this because Mike Direcki has been talking about sky More

773
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: for a while. The only reason I would lean a

774
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: little bit away from him and maybe more towards a

775
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: Christian Watson or someone is because of the difference between

776
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: five ten and six four. Now, can you catch the ball?

777
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: Can you get separation off the line of scrimmage? Then

778
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: if you can do all that, I just and and

779
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: maybe that's a fault of my own, but you kind

780
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: of get enthold as far as what you want at

781
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: certain positions, I e. You know, everyone wants that quarterback

782
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: to be six two sixty three six four. You want

783
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: your outside wide receiver to be six four. You want

784
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: corners to be a little bit taller to deal with

785
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: those taller wide receivers. So I just think these excuse me,

786
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: I just think these wide receivers are tough to cover.

787
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: Look at Cooper Cup, he's not very tall. Robert Woods,

788
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: he's not very tall. Look at look at Colebazi when

789
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: he was playing. I mean it's hard for these linebackers

790
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: to go down and tackle these guys. But I again,

791
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: I if a guy has the measurables, and you go

792
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: back to Christian Watson, I mean this guy, he competed

793
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: in track. See you and you talked about his return skills,

794
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 1: I mean he would fill a lot of different holes.

795
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: Even though I think the Cardinals are retreatd what Rondel

796
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: Moore can do on punt returning kick return. And to

797
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: your point, if you have a Rondel More, maybe you

798
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: don't need a sky More. I mean, as far as

799
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: they're basically the same player. Yeah, unless you want to

800
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: go like four wide and five wide and you got

801
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: a bunch of smurfs out there. Yeah, I think we

802
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: saw that tried and not goes so well a couple

803
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: of years back. But if you've got a zach Ertz

804
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: and a Max Williams, a healthy Max Williams, and maybe

805
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: maybe this offense is going to look a little bit different.

806
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: But sky Moore checking in at number forty four, we

807
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: go back to the defensive side of the wall and

808
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: at number forty three outside linebacker Nick Bonito out of Oklahoma,

809
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: a junior six foot three, two hundred and forty eight pounds. Yeah,

810
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: and I like the fact that you know, he's played

811
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot of football. He's played in thirty nine games

812
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,439
Speaker 1: his first year. You know, he didn't play a lot,

813
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: but he's played in thirty games. I mean tackle for

814
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 1: lost is thirty two sacks, eighteen five pass breakups, quarterback hits.

815
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: In the twenties, he was a two thousand and one

816
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: third team AP All American. Again, you look at Oklahoma

817
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: in some of those Big twelve schools, including the SEC,

818
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: was first team All Big Twelve Conference and that was

819
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: this just previous year. And in took two and twenty

820
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: he was second team APE All American. So he's a

821
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: big boy, sixty three, two forty and he looked at

822
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: he was. He actually played in that under Armor All

823
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: American Game and that's where he got his He got recruited.

824
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: He's from Florida, but he ended up going to Oklahoma

825
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: and playing at a power five school in Oklahoma checking

826
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: in at number forty three, and I don't know, perhaps

827
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: maybe someone that's Kyler Murray might have an eye on

828
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: and being bugging or at least hitting up the general manager. Hey,

829
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: pay attention to this Oklahoma sooner. It's happened before. Yeah.

830
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: He led the team with fifteen tackle for losses nine

831
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: quarterback heads Succording to Pro Football Focus, he was tied

832
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: with the Big twelve with forty eight pressures. But also

833
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: he opted out of the team's bowl game to prepare

834
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: for the draft. And they're going to say, I think

835
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: more of that happened unless you're one of those major bolls,

836
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: so you're in the semi final hoping to get a

837
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: chance to go to the national championship game. I think

838
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: more and more players are going to look towards their future.

839
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: And it's nothing against what they're their own college, but

840
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: you have to kind of examine you a bowl game

841
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: on December twentieth versus perhaps hearing my name called day

842
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: one by the commissioner in the NFL Draft. Yeah, and

843
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't begrudge anybody. Obviously, when you sign up, it

844
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: sounds good in theory, but if you're gonna make a

845
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: lot of money, and you can start working out and

846
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: getting ready for the combine and going through the interview

847
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 1: process and you know, just taking care of your body,

848
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: becoming a professional. I'm not going to bring grudge any

849
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: of these guys, all right, we continue counting down from

850
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: number fifty way or at number forty two. In our

851
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: first offensive lineman, it's a tackle out of Central Michigan,

852
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: Bernhard Raymond Senior six six three h three certainly has

853
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: the size to be either a left or right tackle. Yeah,

854
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: he's played in forty four games. He started twenty nine

855
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: All team All MAC moved a tight end to left tackles,

856
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: so he obviously when he went there early on he

857
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: played tight end actually two years, and then over the

858
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: last two years he's played on the line. He's another

859
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: he's another guy that's on Bruce Feldman's freak list reported

860
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: least four six twenty shuttle thirty thirty three verse. He

861
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: jumped nine point seven so and he benched four fifty.

862
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: It's a big boy. The Mid American Conference Offensive Linemen

863
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: of the Year, so that transition from tight end to

864
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: left tackle. Has not played tackle for Mary very many years,

865
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: but has grown into a body to where you like

866
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: that size to someone to protect either the quotteracks blind

867
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: side or the other side with this is really interesting.

868
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: Craig he so I mentioned he played at eighteen and

869
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: nineteen at tight end. In twenty and twenty one, his

870
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: pet pass block snaps seven hundred and forty three. According

871
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus, he led a one sack at

872
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: tight end and at tackle one sack, seven hundred and

873
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: forty three opportunities. Not a major program, not a Power

874
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: five program, but Central Michigan still Dan Marley, Yeah, well

875
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: you can tear. Yeah, if you can play, they'll find you.

876
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: And Cotton fitz Simmons got booed that day. Yes, they're

877
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: not saying that now. It's all right. Our final draft

878
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: prospect here is we counted down for number fift the

879
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: inn at number forty one. Another safety, this one out

880
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: of Baylor. Jalen Peatree senior five eleven one ninety eight

881
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: run of four four three forty played well in the

882
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl and had a tremendous career at Baylor and

883
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: was one of the better safeties in all of football

884
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Yeah, I think could go a

885
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: lot higher. Um as you mentioned, I mean his first

886
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: team Associated Press All American, finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award,

887
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: which is a nation's best defensive back. Big twelve Conference

888
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, first Team All Big Twelve. So

889
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: and he's he's a guy that he's kind of like

890
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: a hybrid linebacker safety. Now you look at his size

891
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: five ten one ninety six um he missed in twenty

892
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: nineteen either shoulder injury, but he's a guy that can

893
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: do a lot of different things. He could play linebacker,

894
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: he can play corner, and he could play safety. So

895
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: there's there's there's a couple you know, Hamilton from Notre

896
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: Dame that probably will go high just based on his

897
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: skill set. But I do think he'll be a first

898
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: round pick. But there's so many good players that unfortunately

899
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna go higher than him what I got him.

900
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: But as a player though, the versatility will allow him

901
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: to have a nice little career. The size at under

902
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: six feets, under two hundred pounds but certainly impressed. During

903
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl Week, Daniel Jeremiah wrote about this as

904
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: far as what Petrie was able to do in coverage,

905
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: especially when matched up against tight ends, who have a

906
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: big size advantage over him. Petrie instinctive and was able

907
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: to get his hands on some footballs. He looked like

908
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: a starting NFL safety. That's what Jared Daniel Jeremiah had

909
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: to write up on nfl dot Com. So to your point, yeah,

910
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more towards the line of scrimmage

911
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 1: and being physical enough to stay with a taller, much

912
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: bigger tight end either coming across the middle or if

913
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: you have to cover him downfield. Yeah. I mean he

914
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: was the only player in the Big Twelve with ten

915
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: tackle for losses two interception, started all fourteen games. He

916
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: had the best run defense grade ninety two point seven,

917
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: and then he also had the second highest overall offensive

918
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: grade among Big twelve defenders at eighty six. This guy's

919
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: are on the ball a lot. So we'll see if

920
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie here's his name, on Day two or perhaps

921
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: squeezes into that late late first round selection. So that

922
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: is the look at our first ten the top fifty

923
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: draft prospects, counting down from number fifty. Mike Drecki's top

924
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: fifty prospects certainly defensive heavy so far, specifically at defensive line. Yeah,

925
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: and it's interesting, Craig, because all these guys we talk about,

926
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: I think they'd be nice plug and play in the

927
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: second round. But when it comes to these receivers and

928
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: these offensive tackles and these edge rushers, I mean, that's

929
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: going to dominate the first round of the draft. I mean,

930
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of good players there and we've

931
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: only gone through ten, but these guys can be meeting

932
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: potatoes guys you try to get them in the second

933
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: or third round and plug and play. I mean, they

934
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: all have done something that sticks out at each school.

935
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: Now it's no matter of how do they translate to

936
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: the NFL, because it's a lot different. It's a job now,

937
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: and you know you got to take it serious and

938
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: hopefully they all do. But it's a lot of it's

939
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: between the years, which you have to learn because if

940
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: you're not playing fashion and you're thinking, you're probably gonna

941
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: be behind the place. So it's more about mental when

942
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: you get here. Our next episode will do thirty one

943
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: to forty as far as counting down to top fifty,

944
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: and everyone knows the big names, everyone knows the top ten,

945
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: but this exercise kind of gives you a sense of

946
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: what else is out there, especially when the Cardinals are

947
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: picking at fifty five and eighty seven, because everyone's board

948
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: is different and it's always good to kind of look

949
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: back and right, here's what we listed as our top fifty,

950
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: and perhaps maybe you get one of those fifty players

951
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: you know that you had at number forty one, and

952
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: perhaps you do select them what they pick in the

953
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: sixties or the seventies. That's every team, Every draft personnel

954
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: person sees a draft prospect differently. Yeah, I mean I've

955
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: I've seen her met number thirty one, thirty two one

956
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: on some different mocks, again in late first round. But

957
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't see safeties draft unless you're

958
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: Sean Taylor. And you know, obviously Tyr Matthew was a

959
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: third round pick. But in this day and age, the

960
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: safeties have to be able to cover the slot. They

961
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: got to make sure they come down in the box.

962
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: And that's the Cardinals having Jalen Thompson and Buddha Baker.

963
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: So it's just not hey, you can just cover the

964
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: tight end and there's so much he can do. Again,

965
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: I do think he could be a late first round pick,

966
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: depending on how many other safeties go, and I think

967
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: he could be in that picture at least in the

968
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: top three. As they always say, the more you can do,

969
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: the longer your career potentially can be in the National

970
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: Football League. So that was the first ten fifty draft

971
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: prospects that we kind of task Mike direct you to

972
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 1: count down, and we'll continue to look ahead and getting

973
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: closer and closer to that date at the end of

974
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: April four, Day one the twenty twenty two NFL Draft.

975
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: A lot of fun. We'll do it again and our

976
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: next episode and on. On that notes, we will put

977
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: a lid on this edition of Cardinals Cover two, presented
