So she and Ashley 15 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: Farrell are on that assignment. That is something they have 16 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: done the last five years. They have accompanied the prospect. Normally, 17 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: the prospect has been with them at the draft, whether 18 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: it be Chicago or Philadelphia or Dallas, and they've come 19 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: back here. In this case, Jeffrey Simmons was not in 20 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: Nashville last night, and so they are going to Mississippi 21 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: and we'll be back with him later today, and it's 22 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: going to be an interesting day as people meet the 23 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: Titans first round pick.

Oh yeah, I 29 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: mean it was that was such a look, it was 30 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: such a big thing, and let's get down to what 31 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: we can talk about the other things surrounding it. But 32 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: when you make your football team better, that's a huge thing. League. 33 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: That's that's what this was about. I mean this we'll 34 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: tell I know, we'll talk about Jeffrey Simmons, but you 35 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: and I've been talking about him for a long time. 36 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: And the event itself, oh wow, I mean it was 37 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: not what anyone expected. People thought one hundred thousand. The 38 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: commissioner announced last night that that figure is probably more 39 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: like two hundred thousand people. And the house band and 40 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: the lights and everybody everywhere, the shots all the way 41 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: down Broadway. It was so phenomenal to see it and 42 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: to experience it. And the league has admitted that they've 43 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. Well, I haven't either, and 44 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: I've been in this league along. I mean I would 45 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: just you know, where we were on the General Jackson, 46 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: and of course we had the huge screen. But when 47 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: you looked and saw first of all, the General Jackson 48 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: was jammed, it was great. I mean there was you know, 49 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: there were not enough life jackets. I mean it was 50 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: they would point out there were enough, more enough. I mean, 51 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: you were just jammed with I mean it was. It 52 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: was so intense and so great, and the and the 53 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: feeling and the vibe was just so upbeat. And but 54 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: then you look down town and saw the masses of people. 55 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: It was. It was astounding, It really was. I mean 56 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: it kind of one of those things like even if 57 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: you've done a lot of things, it's been to a 58 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: lot of events, you know, which we all have, you 59 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: looked at that and you went wow, Wow, it was 60 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: a wow.

And of course 120 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: I've got a real affinity for Joe Green because you know, 121 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: he was my defensive line coach for eight years there, 122 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, when I was there at Arizona, and just 123 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: the number of people and the quality of people.

A lot of times it's 128 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: exaggeration in numbers when you have a big event and 129 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: years later someone will say, well I was there, and 130 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: you'll you say, well, maybe you were, maybe you weren't. 131 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: You know where they say two hundred thousand people, Well, 132 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand people were there.

He is a defensive 136 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: tackle from Mississippi State. Let me go through just a 137 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: couple of things about him in case you don't know. 138 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: He'll be twenty two on July the twenty eighth, two 139 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: time all sec.

He is from Knoxaby County High School, 142 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: Knoxaby County, Mississippi. That is making Mississippi, which is right 143 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: around not far from Stark starts in that Golden Triangle, 144 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: Columbus Starkville area. Wouldn't surprise me if they are flying 145 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: into and out of Golden Triangle Airport this morning. You've 146 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: been in there before. I've been to Golden Triangle Airport too. 147 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: I've done ball games at State, and I like that 148 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: area very much. Making, Mississippi is a town of roughly 149 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: three thousand people. Ironically, though as small as it is, 150 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: it has produced six NFL players and an NBA player 151 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: who name you will know never nervous pervious short short, 152 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: really seventeen points a game in the National Basketball Association 153 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: for seventeen years. So there's been some athletes come out 154 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: of Making Mississippi. Last two seasons. This player, Jeffrey Simmons 155 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: one hundred, twenty three tackles, twenty nine for loss, seven 156 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: quarterback sacks. He won Mississippi State's Newsome Award for his 157 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen work on the field, in the classroom, and 158 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: in the community, so he was their outstanding overall student athlete. 159 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: He tore his left ACL training in Boca Raton, Florida 160 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: for Boca Raton, Florida on February the twelfth, so that 161 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: was two and a half months ago. He is in 162 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: the process of rehabbing that as we speak six four 163 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: three oh one, and again that dominant defender with a 164 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: very different sort of body than most twenty one year 165 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: old defensive tackles. Coachmack Well, look, and I know we 166 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: referred a lot to this notebook. I mean, I've got 167 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: a handwritten notebook that I've been working three months on 168 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: with these players, and you can look and see. I mean, 169 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: I know we've got cameras in here. But when I 170 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: was talking of writing him up, looking at tape, how 171 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: many stars did I put out there? By five stars? Yeah, 172 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: because once you start looking at it and you really 173 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: watch it, I'm just watching the football part of it, 174 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: not knowing anything else. I just wanted to watch football. 175 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: And the first thing that I wrote down when I 176 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: was watching him was a powerful player. I put double 177 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: teams a lot, crushes one on one matchups, which he does. 178 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: And then I put nasty and and and moves easy 179 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: for a big man. And here's what else I put, 180 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: will be an instant starter, full grown man with attitude 181 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: and on the and the linear explosion that he has, 182 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: and also the ability we saw in some of those clips, 183 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,119 Speaker 1: the ability to get horizontal and move. This is exactly 184 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: I coached and called defenses in this league for a 185 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: long time. I spoke with Danps before you and I 186 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: came on this, and he just and we both looked 187 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: at each other and I said, when I was calling defenses, 188 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: I love to call defenses around this type of person. 189 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: And he just smiled because he's had a lot of 190 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: them too. But you know it. You know it when 191 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: you see it on tape. You understand what it is, 192 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: and you also understand what it means to your defense. 193 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: Once you have someone like this paired with some other 194 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: really good players what they can do. I love the pick. 195 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean I hit the table once they're at the 196 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: at our broadcast table. Because you and I have talked 197 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: about this guy for a while. Let's take a look 198 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: at I think this is courtesy of Mississippi State. By 199 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: the way, Jeffrey Simmons getting the call from the Titans 200 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: last night that he was going to be the pick, 201 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: he was. I think he was in Starkville. Actually, a 202 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: lot of things go wrong for that twenty eighteen poys. 203 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: You wonder where they go on their board because there's 204 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: a lot of ways to go, but all they feel 205 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: the board of shaking up. Yeah, you know what off 206 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: the line. That makes sense when these football teams are 207 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: willing to continue to the girl you're doing run the 208 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: ball before a better habit, prepare clip. We'll see. All right, 209 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: let's find out the biggest in Let's go to Commission Goodell. 210 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: We're the eighteenth bank in the two thousand nineteen driving 211 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Garrett Bradbury, Yes, sir, I will I want 212 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: an alter field to shoot. There are a lot of 213 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: teams taking the yes that are gray, so key fans 214 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: store the side store all the way. This keid is interesting. 215 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: You graduated supported Shan introduction systems thereby. By the way, 216 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: how are you doing? That's man? Thank you. I'm glad 217 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: a good titan. I'm glad to be a Titan. Talking 218 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: obviously to Amy Adams Strunk. That's emotional. That is emotional. 219 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: And he's on his way here today and we'll meet 220 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: the media. He did a conference call last night, and 221 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: you know, there are a couple of parts of him 222 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: that we mentioned the ac L and we've talked on 223 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: the OTP about the off field incident that he had 224 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: back as a senior in high school. And I mean 225 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: there's no doubt it's bad, and there's there's video, and 226 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: many of you watching us right now have seen it, 227 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: and some of you listening to the podcast you've seen it. 228 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's not a secret, and he has 229 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: not tried to make a secret out of it. I 230 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: think Amy Wells had a great quote because we began 231 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: talking about him three weeks ago on this show and 232 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: having some discussion about him as a possible prospect because 233 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: from a football standpoint, he totally fit what the Titans 234 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: were looking for, and so, you know, we discussed him 235 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: and Amy Wells said something I thought was really important. 236 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: She said, I trust the people here who are doing 237 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: the vetting and making the call, from the security people, 238 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: to the scouting people, to John Robinson, to Mike Vrabel 239 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: and to Amy Adam Strunks, because let me tell you, 240 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: that decision doesn't get made without the owner one hundred 241 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: percent being on board. Nobody goes in and takes this 242 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: halfway based on the fact that it's I mean, it's awful. 243 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: I just know there's no other way to put it. 244 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: And so I think what Amy Wells said was so 245 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: fitting and so important. The other thing I think about, too, 246 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: is the Titans had a very tough decision to make, 247 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: but a young man and he's still young to me. 248 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: Who had a tougher decision to make was Scott Strickland. 249 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: Scott Strickland is somebody I have known for thirty years 250 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: since he was in college at Mississippi State and I 251 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: was in college at Tennessee and as sort of interns, 252 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: we became friends doing different things. Scott Strickland is now 253 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: the athletic director at Florida. He's been more of an 254 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: achiever than me. He's He's done a lot with his life. 255 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: He's a he is a person that I have fantastic 256 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: admiration for as a human being and as a professional. 257 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: He has done. He's good at everything, and he's a 258 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: he's an equality human being. Before he was the athletic 259 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: director at Florida, he was the athletic director at Mississippi State. 260 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: He is a State guy. He graduated from State. He 261 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: loves State. He's the person who had to make the 262 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: decision do we let Jeffrey Simmons in school? Right? That 263 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: was a tougher decision because it was at the moment. 264 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: It wasn't three years ago. It was at the moment. 265 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: That's Scott Strickland's job as the athletic director, that's his school, 266 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: that's his state. He's got to and he's a person too. 267 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: He's got to think about what his family thinks, because 268 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: that's important to him. I can assure you that Scott 269 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: Strickland vetted this thing like nobody's business just to let 270 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: him in state, and for for them to let him 271 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: attend Mississippi State after what happened, they had to know 272 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: that there was something really on the positive side to 273 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: this young man. Just to give him that chance. That's 274 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: such a that's such a real point. And for this 275 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: human being, Scott Strickland to do this, he had to 276 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: have He had to say, I believe that I'm gonna 277 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: put it on the line right here for this kid, 278 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: for my school and my people, because I think there's 279 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: something more there and I don't think this incident defines 280 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: exactly who he is. As it turned out, the young 281 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: man's been at State for three years, and again, what 282 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: did he do in twenty eighteen The Newsome Award for 283 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: his twenty eighteen work on field, in the classroom, in 284 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: the community. The only thing this kid can keep doing 285 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: is to keep proving. As time goes on that that 286 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 1: was a one time thing, that he learned from it 287 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: and that he grew from it, because there's no justifying it, 288 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, there's no fixing that in that way. He 289 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: did it for three years at State, and now the 290 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: Titans are counting on him with the same sort of vetting, 291 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: with the same sort of people who care, with an 292 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: owner who certainly cares. Absolutely, they're counting on him to 293 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: do the same thing that Scott Strickland counted on him 294 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: to do three years ago. Look, I've I've been a 295 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: head coach in this league. I've I've made these types 296 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: of decisions also because this and I thought Mike Rabel 297 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: was very succinct last night when when when when when 298 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: he said, this is not a there's a difference between 299 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: bad people and good people that sometimes in life do 300 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: a bad thing, and and and that resonated with me 301 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: because I've made these types of decisions. But you have 302 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: to vet very deep, and you have to go really 303 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: deep into what you believe, and you cover everything that 304 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: you can. But just the story you bring up with Strickland, 305 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: when you have people that have made that decision even 306 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: closer to an incident like that, and then have it 307 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: work out and people that you trust and you know, 308 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: to me, this is, this is And just when you 309 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: watch that video, you can tell how much he still 310 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: realizes how much of a great chance this is for 311 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: his life. Seeing him there with his little young son 312 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: sitting right next to him, this is at the end 313 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: of the day, we're all human beings. Where all human beings. 314 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: There's just more spotlight put on some of us that 315 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: get involved in this business. But when you vet something 316 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: like this and you have people that have everything on it, 317 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: Strickland made a career decision, as you were saying, he 318 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: sure did. He made a career decision. And when you 319 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: have people that are making career decisions, giving people chances, 320 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: it's very very important. Because that's his school. That's his school. 321 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: It's not just his job. That's his school, that's his heart. 322 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: And he's gone on to become ad at Florida, which 323 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: is obviously one of the four or five best jobs 324 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: in America. And I mean it's a great university and 325 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: a great athletic but he's still a state guy. But 326 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: he's that'll always be in his heart a heart and 327 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: for him to make that call, I just um that 328 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: reinforces what Amy Wells said about the vetting process. Yes, 329 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: it does. It absolutely does. So we shall see and 330 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: we shall see with this young man. And it's a 331 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he's an exciting player. I'm looking forward to 332 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: to meeting him. I'm looking forward to to seeing him 333 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: come in here, and I'm looking forward to seeing him 334 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: getting incorporated into this community. Yeah, I really am. All right, 335 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: So let's I got a couple of questions here. I'm 336 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: having to do this today. So well, Amy's better at 337 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: that than you are. She's a lot better than that 338 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: than I am. Okay. Norah from YouTube wants to know, Mike, 339 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: do you theoretically think he could be ready for Week 340 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen with the type of injury he have. 341 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: Having him ready for a deep playoff run would be great. 342 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: Could he be ready by then? He could be? It's 343 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, acls are are individually, I mean individual things 344 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: and and and players. Look, I've been involved with something 345 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: like this very recently, Mike. When I was at the Rams, 346 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: we drafted Todd Gurley, Okay, coming off of an ACL, 347 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: and we we drafted him with the ninth pick, knowing 348 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: that we were gonna have to wait on him, and 349 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: we waited and he came. He came back and played 350 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 1: the last nine games of the season. Now, his injury 351 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: happened earlier then then Jeffreys happened. But my point being, 352 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: he came back, you know, and and played nine games 353 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: after seating him seven and then and then through also 354 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: an open date and was offensive Rookie of the Year, right, 355 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: And now we know what Todd Gurley has done, what 356 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: I am and and we all know how Adrian Peterson 357 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: rehabbed his ACL So it's it's it's individual. But the 358 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: technology now and the way the medical profession is and 359 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: what they what they can do with these injuries, not 360 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: only with the surgical process but with the rehab it 361 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: is possible that he would be ready to play by then. 362 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: But I do know the US, this organization, this trading staff, 363 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: this coaching staff, they will not play him until he's 364 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: ready to play. And that's the right step to take, 365 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: all right, Garland Hudgens. I trust this organization. I'm proud 366 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: of the culture of the locker room and the people 367 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: of integrity and the Titans organization. Bring Simmons in, love him, 368 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: challenge him, and invest in his football skill set and 369 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: let's make the quarterbacks in our division fear our defensive line. Mcgarland, 370 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you. One nice statement, Garland, all right, I 371 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: like that. Aaron wants to know thoughts on the Titans 372 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 1: trading up for Greedy Williams in the second round. I'm 373 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: not sure that that he's Again, I can never be 374 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: sure what John Robinson's going to do, but I know 375 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: what he's going to do is going to help this 376 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: football team. There are going to be and we talk 377 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 1: about him, We'll talk about the second third rounds, you know, 378 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: later on. But there are pods of players, especially with 379 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: interior offensive lineman that we're getting ready to see come 380 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: up in this in this second day. And also, these 381 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: corners are going to start to go. These corners are 382 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: gonna start to go. Greedy Williams is a specific type 383 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: of corner, Okay. Greedy Williams is a is a linear 384 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: man to man cover corner. All right. I don't think 385 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: Greedy Williams is the player of Dory Jackson was, you know, 386 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: coming out of coming out of out of USC. But 387 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: he's a very good player. I just don't see John 388 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: Robinson trading up to get that player. Okay, let's see 389 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: you got coach, you got coach Mike here to take 390 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: your questions. So go crazy, go crazy sentiment. I'm figuring. 391 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm figuring out how to do it without Amy. Let's 392 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: run through the first round very quickly to make sure 393 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: all right. Kyler Murray goes one to Arizona, the quarterback 394 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: from Oklahoma and no surprise, coach, Yeah, no surprise. But 395 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: what a mess that is out there? Now, have you 396 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: already seen everything? That tell me that's rolling with with 397 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen. Josh Rosen has completely and again has completely 398 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: unfollowed the Cardinals on all social media. Whatever that means. 399 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: It means he's mad, he's out, he's at out. It 400 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 1: means he's mad. And I and we talked about it 401 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: last night on our broadcast, and I'll say it again. 402 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: They better have talked to Joys Rosen before they made 403 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 1: this decision. But they didn't. I bet they didn't. And 404 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: if they didn't, you know, they've got they got a 405 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: mess on their hands. They better get rid of him 406 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: between now and six o'clock tonight Central time. They they 407 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: that's absolutely right, and they missed a window. They missed 408 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: a window to get to to get something foreign because 409 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: now everybody knows that he's out and this guy's in. 410 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: This guy's an electric player, he really is. And for 411 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: and for the air raid offense, he's good. But just organizationally, 412 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: they still got some things to straighten up there. You 413 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: like San Francisco's pick at number two even better? That's 414 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: the look that to me was the most slam dunk 415 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: pick right there. I mean it was this. You watch 416 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: you watch this, you watch Bossa play. He is the 417 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: most technically sound defensive player in this draft. Technically sound 418 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: and plus he's extremely extremely talented, run and pass equally strong. Yeah, 419 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: this is a This is a really big time player here. 420 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: The Bosses are the second NFL family where dad was 421 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: a number one pick and two sons were number one picks. 422 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: The Bosses now joined the Mannings as the only two 423 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: families that can say that. Let me, can I say 424 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: something with that? Sure? How about the how about how 425 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: he longed and Chris Long and Kyle Long? Was Kyle 426 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: Longer first round pick? I think it was the first 427 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: or second round. I think I don't think he was 428 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: a first round pick. Okay, Chris Long was, Yes, he 429 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: knows that. That's why I'm saying I'm very well, I'm 430 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: very well know what the Long family is about. So 431 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: I was just asking, all right, quinnin Williams goes number three, 432 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: the Jets get their big defensive tackle from Alabama. You 433 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: like this pick as well. Although the commissioner called him 434 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: a nose tackle, you say he's not a nose tackle 435 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: and Greg Williams will not make a nose tackle out 436 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: of him. He'll be a three technique. When we were 437 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: broadcasting last night, you asked me before the pick what 438 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: Greg Williams was doing. Who is now the defensive coordinator 439 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: of there? And I said he had a he had 440 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: both hands around mccagnet's throat, because this is a this 441 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: this guy will make a difference on the defense and 442 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: space of the way Greg Williams runs defense. Kyle Long 443 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: was first, That's what I thought. So they're three family. 444 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: Well that's good. But how He Long was not a 445 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: first round pick? Was how he not first round? I 446 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: think Howe Long was a first round pick out of Villanova. 447 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, Okay, I knew the two boys were 448 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: all right, Well, you've questioned me. Now you've you've put 449 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: it on me. Raiders throw the first curveball Cleveland. Farrell 450 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: or Ferral is how you actually say it? I wish 451 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: you had gotten to the commissioner. What's that say? Say 452 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: his name right? Yeah. Todd mcshade taught us that at 453 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: the at the combine. He said, you know it's Furrel. 454 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it looks like Ferrel to me, but Furrel. 455 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: He's a good player, is a good player. That surprises 456 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: me that they took him there. You know, just as 457 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: far as when you start stacking the board with defense, 458 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a he's a quintessential four three defensive 459 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: end that is going to You're gonna get the same 460 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: play out of him the first play of the season 461 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: to the five hundred and sixtieth play of the season. 462 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: Very very solid player. All Right, we're gonna fly through him. Now, 463 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: let's go to Tampa at five. Devin White, linebacker lsu 464 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: good pick Yes, Giants at six. With the surprise, they 465 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: take Daniel Jones the quarterback. Wow. Seven, Jacksonville cannot pass 466 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: up a pass rusher, so they take Josh Allen, the 467 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: big man from Kentucky. Could have to deal with him 468 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: twice a year. That's not good. I was hoping they'd 469 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: go over line there. So moving to number eight, Detroit 470 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: ran the card up there to get their tight end 471 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: t J. Hawkinson, best tight end of the draft, is 472 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: great pick one of the five best players in the draft. 473 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Buffalo Bills at number nine get 474 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: their defensive tackle at Oliver Scheme specific free technique, just 475 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: keep rolling them. Pittsburgh trades up Devin Bush, linebacker from Michigan. 476 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: Take Ranshaziers place all right. At number eleven, Cincinnati needs 477 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: Jonah Williams. Are they going to play him at tackle? 478 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: I think they will play him at tackle to start with. 479 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: And again here this is another technique. Sound guy completely 480 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: across the board, all right. Moving to twelve, that's Green Bay. 481 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: They go for outside linebacker Rashan Gary. More potential than production, 482 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: probably one of more more physically talented players in this draft. 483 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to stop our runthrough right here just to say, 484 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: Howie Long was the second round? Mike, you're right then, okay, 485 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: So it's the Mannings and the Bosses. Manning's in the Bosses. 486 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: We thank you for performing Amy Wells's role of arguing 487 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: with me yes and plus doing it well. Then, so 488 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: the family can't have three number one picks. It's how 489 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: he's fault not the kids. That's right. Miami was thirteen. 490 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: They took Christian Wilkins. So two Clemson defenders off the board. 491 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: Like this player a lot. Atlanta Falcons first of two 492 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: offensive line I mean, Chris Lendstrom. This was the best 493 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: guard in the draft, best pure garden the draft, best 494 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: pier guard, right guard, best pure garden the draft. All right, 495 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: keep rolling. Washington takes the third quarterback of the first round, 496 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins, and and they know they need they needed 497 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: to take the quarterback. I like, I like this pick. 498 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: Haskins is probably the most NFL ready quarterback right now. 499 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: All right. At sixteen, Carolina gets coach's favorite edge rusher 500 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: of this style, the two hundred and forty pound Brian 501 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: Burns from Florida State. Pure speed guy, gumby motorcycle, lean 502 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: off of the edge if he gets a little bit 503 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: more mask to him. I really like this player, all right. 504 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: Seventeen the Giants with the big man, three hundred forty 505 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: two pound Dexter Lawrence. The Giants with a giant Yes, nice, 506 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: how you did that? Eighteen Minnesota Garrett Bradberry, the talented 507 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: center from NC State. We know. The Titans at nineteen 508 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: took Jeffrey Simmons. Denver at twenty after trading Sound goes 509 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: for Noah Fant to matchup Nightmare. Give Joe Flacco a target. Yep, 510 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: Seattle was gonna pick twenty one. They traded the pick 511 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: to Green Bay. Darnell Savage. Good looking safety. He is 512 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: a savage. He comes downhill and fills that alley hard. 513 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: He's a hard hitting safety. Now we moved to twenty two. 514 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: Philadelphia trades up for Andre Dillard, the tackle from Washington State. 515 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: Best feat for a big man in this draft. Twenty 516 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: three Houston, they get a big mant really great kid, 517 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: Titus Howard, a great story out of the South part 518 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: of Alabama. Wonderful tackle. Hate that he's in the division. No, 519 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna take a qualle to develop him, but I 520 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: love this Guy's got a lot of upside talent, especially 521 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: coming from a smaller school. He sure does. At twenty four, 522 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: Oakland with their second first round pick, is running back 523 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, best all round back in the draft, and 524 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't have a lot of wear on his tires either. 525 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: Twenty five is Baltimore. They go for Hollywood Brown that's 526 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: your guy right there. That's it. That's it. The best 527 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: dress guy in Nashville last night, without a doubt. That 528 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: kid is electric. He is electric. Five nine, one seventy one. 529 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: At twenty six, Washington trades back into the first round 530 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: to grab Edgeman Montes. Sweat might have dropped a little 531 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: bit because of the medical the heart condition that now 532 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: they're saying is not as bad as they originally thought 533 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: it was. I liked the player. Twenty seven. Oakland, with 534 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: their third first round pick, takes the third Mississippi State 535 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: Bulldog safety Jonathan Abraham. Mississippi State had a physical, physical 536 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: defense and this guy, this guy was the lynchpin of 537 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: it from the back end. Twenty eight, the Chargers go 538 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: with the Big five technique, as they like to say, 539 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: Jerry Tillery, defensive lineman from Notre Dame. Very nice, Mike. 540 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: This guy's got a ton of talent, just is inconsistent 541 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: in his play. They need to straighten that up. Seattle, 542 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: with Kansas City's pick at twenty nine, takes the Frog 543 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: Yeah frogs lu He He'll work up and down the 544 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: line for them. I like this pick. And this is 545 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: a small town kid too, that is going to be 546 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: a good player in the LJ called your is his name. 547 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: Seattle had number thirty. They traded that for more picks. 548 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: The Giants get a corner DeAndre Baker from Georgia, one 549 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: of the most savvy, technique sound corners going, can play 550 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: man and zone equally well. Not blessed with great speed, 551 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: but a good pick. Rams get out of the first 552 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: round and trade it to the Falcons. So the Falcons 553 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: take another defensive or another offensive lineman. Caleb McGarry, big 554 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: tackle from Washington, six seven plus three hundred and eleven pounds. 555 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: This is Atlanta needed offensive line help. They got it. 556 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: And the New England Patriots they do draft at number 557 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: thirty two. They're gonna have a busy day two, by 558 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: the way. But they take and kill Harry wide receiver 559 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,719 Speaker 1: from Arizona State, a big, white out, big combat catcher. 560 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: All right, questions for the coach from social media. Let's go, 561 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: what position of need should we address in the second round. 562 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: I think they'll look at interior offensive lineman. There's still 563 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman in this draft. The run on cornerbacks, that's, 564 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: as we have previously talked, that's going to start happening. 565 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: But this is still a big man draft. We talked 566 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: about it earlier. I'm still going to talk about it today. 567 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: There's quality picks for big men on both sides of 568 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: the ball. Stephen wants to know think John will trade 569 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: up for Old miss wide receiver A. J. Browns. I don't. 570 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: I don't see John trading up, you know. And again, 571 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: so it's me saying that tonight what he's gonna do 572 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: probably trade up. I don't think he will. Michael wants 573 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: to know, Coach Mack what about tight end prospects. I 574 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: like Hal Wearing, big, fast, tight end with great hands. 575 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: Now he's he's a good receiver. I like him that. 576 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: That guy's a developmental guy. He's got some niftiness to him, 577 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: and he also has got some real spatial awareness. Justin 578 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: wants to know. Is Simmons a run stuffing d tackle, 579 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: a pass rushing d tackle or both? What type of 580 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: player are we getting all of the above? All of 581 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: the above. He is a game wrecker from the inside. 582 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: This is why he was so as I said, this 583 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: is to me, this was the most This was the 584 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: best disruptor in the draft into your defensive line. By 585 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: the way, this isn't a question, but they sent this 586 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: to me. It's Kyle Long's tweet. He says, if my 587 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 1: dad wasn't such a scrub, we would all be first rounders. Love. 588 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: I love Kyle Long, I love the Longs. I love 589 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: those guys. That's awesome. Great family man, great family. All right, 590 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: let's see, coach, what draft pick that is still available 591 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: that you think would make an immediate impact that would 592 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 1: be help the Titans go from good to great. Working 593 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: in the theory there from the coach working in working 594 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: in the theory there again. Good to great is when 595 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: you is when you surround your team with people that 596 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: can contribute in a lot of different ways. As I said, 597 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it again, there's still some good big 598 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: men left in this draft. Mickey Ryan, by the way, 599 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: thank you for shooting me the bit about how he Long. 600 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Ryan.

Drew Locke, quarterback Missouri. Uh, you know 603 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: the reason quickness he go. He'll go pretty quick, and 604 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: the reason he dropped is because of his accuracy. Eric 605 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: McCoy offensive lineman, Texas saying this guy, that's why I'm 606 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: talking about the big man, this guy, this guy being 607 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: instant starter. DK Metcalf wide receiver Mississippi linear linear, physical freak. 608 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: The linear is good, the rest of it not so good. 609 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: A Keem Butler wide receiver. I which like this guy. 610 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: That's a big, big time combat catcher with a with 611 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,399 Speaker 1: a little bit of speed. Irv Smith junior tight end, 612 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: all the best tight end on the board right now. 613 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,720 Speaker 1: Nasir Adderley safety Delaware, the middle of the field safety 614 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: that can also drop down and cover the slot. I 615 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: like him. Cody Forward, offensive line Oklahoma, and he played 616 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: he played tackle, he can play tackle, he can play guard. 617 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: This is a big, thick, massive guy, wide body, wide body, 618 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: guy that can move his feet.
