WEBVTT - Mock Draft Season Begins | Road to the Draft 2025 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Road to the Draft, coming to you from

0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks Studio, presented by Ticketmaster Casey Phillips. Here were

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>a senior writer and editor, Scott Smith. We love this

0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>series every year.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I love the Draft.

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Who doesn't love the Draft.

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>It's the excitement of the future, the potential.

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 2>And every player you pick is going to be a star.

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, every player is the one piece you were missing

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it would have gotten you there. And that's what's so

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>fun about this. And you know, especially we know since

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:25.799
<v Speaker 1>it is a road to the Draft, it's a little

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:27.639
<v Speaker 1>bit of a long road. This is our first we're

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>just getting on the road.

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>We're on the on ramp.

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>We're on the on ramp here, which means we have

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot more of these coming up. We have a

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:33.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of different ways we're going to talk about it.

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 2>This year.

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:35.639
<v Speaker 1>We've got a whole new setup as well, so we're

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to incorporate some film studies, some mock drafts.

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>But this first week, we felt like the perfect place

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to start was who are a lot of the guys

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.480
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing very frequently mocked in that first round to us?

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>And I know, not just that, but you also have

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a theme behind the idea of why

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you chose these particular guys.

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 3>What is that?

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, believe me, the mock draft season is well underway.

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 4>You can find endless numbers of them already here in

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.959
<v Speaker 4>mid February. But it's probably gonna change a lot, right,

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 4>And the three players that I picked are showing up

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 4>in a lot of these mock drafts. But also I

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 4>have a feeling that any or all three of them,

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 4>you could see their draft stock change significantly, either up

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 4>or down before the draft. So this is just a

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 4>starting point, and it may not even you know, we

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 4>may look at it back at this two months later.

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>No, Bucks aren't a drafting any of these, but.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 4>Right now they're popular picks for the Bucks. And I'll

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 4>explain why I mean that with each player.

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>As we go.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so tell me about who we have here.

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean a team that clearly no one ever gets

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>drafted from in the NFL.

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna say having this up here while we

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 4>started might have been a giveaway, except how many Alabama

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 4>players are gonna get drafted?

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.559
<v Speaker 3>Probably all of everybody on the whole screen.

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, in this case, we're looking at g Hot Campbell.

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>The off ball linebacker right here, number one.

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Also, look at our fun technology of this year. Who

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 3>doesn't love it?

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Never used to? I know, I'm cooking Kidney candy star.

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 4>So this is g Hot Campbell, number eleven, six three

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 4>and forty four pounds. He's an off ball linebacker, but

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 4>he does have some pass rushing ability. He had one

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 4>hundred and seventeen tackles last year, but also five sacks.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 4>So some analysts believe you take this player to play

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 4>like a Levante David type position, but you might get

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 4>some edge rush out of in two Like not, I'm

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 4>not gonna call Michael Parsons, but that kind of idea.

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Sounds perfect for a Todd Bowles defense too, in terms

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>of what we want to.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Use you here and the sky splits Yes.

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 4>So he's like I said, six three two forty four.

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 4>He was a semi finalist for the Buckets Award, which

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 4>is the best linebacker in the nation. So let's take

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:23.239
<v Speaker 4>a look at here at some of his plays.

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 2>This one.

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 4>You're going to see him in coverage because he does

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 4>have some pretty well developed coverage skills. You'll see that

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 4>he really figures out where he's supposed to go on

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 4>the zone, So you'll see me he's got his eyes

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 4>in the quarterback, he's reading where he's going with it.

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, that's pretty good instinctive there. He clearly wanted

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 4>to get the interception, of course. And here's another one.

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.519
<v Speaker 4>G Hot Campbell's right here this time. It's going to

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 4>be another example of dropping into coverage. And as you know,

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 4>whenever you're playing cover two with two safeties, your middle

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 4>linebacker has to be able to drive down the middle

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 4>to make the cover two works. So you'll see him

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 4>here dropping coverage, which is an important thing for scouting.

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 4>G Hot Campbell reads the play, gets the pick. You know,

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 4>that was pretty much thrown right to him, but we've

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 4>seen defenders don't always catch them.

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not a given, and it was great again for

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it to be thrown right to him means he was

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>right in the exact spot he was supposed to be in.

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 4>And now we want to see him tackling, right. He's

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 4>a he's a sure tackler. He rarely miss his tackles.

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 4>So you'll see him right here. This is obviously going

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 4>to be they're gonna run it. They're gonna try to

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 4>run it in and you'll see him make a really

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.839
<v Speaker 4>nice play, read it and get the shoot the gap

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 4>there and get him wrapped up well behind the end zone.

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 4>So anyway, a couple more players can run here while

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.399
<v Speaker 4>we're talking. But you know, the idea here is that

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 4>kJ Britt j R. Russell, and Levante David, they're all

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 4>they're all free agents. We're hoping, of course, that Levante

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 4>decides to come back, but yeah, your.

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Whole inside linebacker room practically is potentially a free agent.

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I think that not not surprising to think

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that could be an area that they target this year.

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 4>So the thing is, even we're hoping Levonte comes back,

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 4>right even if he does come back, you know, as

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 4>great as he's been, he still has been the last

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 4>couple years, at some point he's going to hang him up.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 4>He's clearly been thinking about it the last couple of years.

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.680
<v Speaker 4>So you do want to think about the future of

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 4>that position. But as I was saying the theme of

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 4>how these guys draft stock may riser fall out, I

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 4>think right now a lot of analysts out there are

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 4>doing the connection thing. They're doing what we just did.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Buccaneers could lose a lot of linebackers. It's a really

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 4>big position to need. What's the best linebacker on the board.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 4>Put them at number ninety, right, But as we've seen

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 4>a lot through the years, unless this off ball linebacker

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 4>is something has some really special skills, like maybe if

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 4>you do think you can be a good edge rusher,

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 4>you don't usually have to spend a first round pick

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 4>on that position. So I could see as the time

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 4>goes on, as we get closer, more analysts saying no,

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 4>that's a player teams will probably target in the second round. Yeah,

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 4>or maybe they'll discover that, yeah, he has these other

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 4>talents that he could rise even high.

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>And then of course what are the Bucks do in

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.799
<v Speaker 1>free agency of Ladante or not? And then other outside

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>people in terms of are bringing back your inside that

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>that's always the interesting thing about ho much free agency

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>can change a position of need like this as well,

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that suddenly you can go from wow, we had three

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>potential free agents to we we apparently no free agency.

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good point.

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 4>So, like we said before, we're really early on this

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 4>road and there's a lot of factors still to go.

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 4>But let's take a look at another player, and to

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 4>stay on defense. In fact, that's going to another thing today.

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to guess that's a theme a lot in

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 3>the next few months.

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>And you can see here.

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 4>Now we're looking at Georgia, which has sent roughly a

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 4>million defenders to the NFL, most to Philly in the

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 4>last couple of years, and we're gonna look at another guy. Now,

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 4>this is a guy considered more of an edge rusher

0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 4>than an off ball linebacker, and that's right here. It's

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 4>Jalen Walker. Now, the history with him is the previous

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 4>two years he was a rotational guy and mostly a

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 4>third down guy as an edge rusher.

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 2>So last year was the first.

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 4>Year that he played a lot of off ball linebacker

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 4>and all he did was win the Buckets Award, which

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 4>we were talking about Jihad being a semi finals for

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 4>He won it, so obviously it went very well. This

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 4>is a very very talented, quick, explosive guy. That's why

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 4>there's a lot of thought that he could be a

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.359
<v Speaker 4>really productive edge rusher, but he hasn't played there for

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 4>very long, and you know, there's sometimes there's there's cops

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 4>or expectations you're going to get this out of a player,

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 4>and he doesn't get there. So I'm reminded of a

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 4>couple of years ago when the Jaguars took Trayvon Walker

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 4>of Georgia, very similar.

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they're related.

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Over Aiden Hutchinson based simply on Tree and he's been

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 4>pretty good, but he hasn't been eight hutches in. So

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 4>let's take a look at some of his plays. Here,

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 4>he's you know, obviously it's a good chance to see

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 4>him coming off the edge becomes more of a run blitz.

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Good pursuit.

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 4>You saw how fast he was and how he recognized

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 4>the play. Now what you're gonna like about this is

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna see how well he sets the edge. Because

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 4>he's not the biggest guy. He's kind of a tweener

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 4>like six three two forty five, which was one of

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 4>the reasons why some people think he might play some

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 4>off ball as well. So he's not the biggest guy.

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 4>But watch how will he sets the edge here against

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 4>the tackle and then disengages. So we're talking about this

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.159
<v Speaker 4>guy right here, he's gonna he's gonna engage with the

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 4>with the tackle. It's a lot bigger than he is,

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 4>and he's gonna.

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Stand him up.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 4>They're trying to they're trying to do the option. The

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 4>read option quarterback runs. You see how he stood him

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 4>up there for a little while and then sheds him

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 4>at just the right moment to get the play.

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Looks like maybe there's a little pretty excited.

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Look.

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.039
<v Speaker 4>That's a that I really wanted to show you that

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 4>one because I thought that was very impressive. So anyway, again,

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 4>this is a guy that you might consider. He's being

0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 4>compared to Nolan Smith, also from Georgia, who drafted by

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 4>the Eagles, and he kind of came on this year,

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 4>so it could you could be talking about a guy

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 4>that needs a little bit to develop to be a

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.359
<v Speaker 4>top notch edge rusher. He's he's a little bit. He's

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 4>very quick and explosive and I think you'll see that

0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 4>here as he comes around the edge. So obviously he

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 4>ran right around that guy dipped the shoulder at the

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 4>right moment. Really good play, right, So you do see

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 4>the explosiveness and the and the idea that he'd be

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 4>able to be a really that bend.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Effective edge rusher.

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 4>But he doesn't have a lot of moves yet. He

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 4>doesn't have a big tool set of pass rush moves.

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 4>But that's what NFL coaches like.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, So if you're.

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Getting that kind of success without even having that many tools.

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Think about once they give you more.

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and so this is kind of a deep class

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 4>in the first round for EDG rushers. I think he's

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 4>the when when we're getting him in these mock drafts,

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 4>he's like the fourth or fifth EDG drusher off the board.

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 4>So it could be that the Buccaneers are targeting that

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 4>position and it might he might go higher. Like I

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 4>said before, I could see these guys really moving around

0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 4>a lot, and if people if he goes the combine

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 4>and blows it away with his with his forty yard

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 4>dash and his agility drills, I could see his stock

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 4>going up and he may end up being out of

0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 4>range for the Buccaneers unless they move on. So that's

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 4>why I think he's a guy again volatile draft stock

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 4>between now and then. And one more clip of him

0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 4>right here. This is like a power move, so you

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 4>just kind of that guy has a lot of weight

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 4>on him. Yeah, and he was pushing him back, so

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 4>that was pretty impressive from another angle here, and.

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Even when he's kind of on the ground, still goes

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>in trying to make that.

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's got a motor, that's for sure. Now, we're

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 4>gonna be talking in a position that I think, you know,

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:34.479
<v Speaker 4>I'm very fond.

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Of, yeah, and that you can never ever have enough of.

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>According to Scott, that will be put on your tombstone someday.

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, we never have enough corners?

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Did we not see that?

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 3>This past year and the year before that, and all

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 3>the years we.

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Were going down to fourth to six?

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I actually wish you wouldn't have said that so often.

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>It's starting to feel like maybe it's your fault.

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 3>But you have been right.

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe I spoke it into existence.

0:08:55.960 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but this is Benjamin Morrison of Notre Dame, and

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 4>he's the guy that I actually gave.

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 2>To us in my first mock draft of the year.

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>That's just how it fell. He was there.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm like a good cornerback. I can't help myself. So

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.439
<v Speaker 4>I took that over an Ed Druscher. So we're talking

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 4>about number twenty here, Benjamin Morrison. Obviously pretty easy to

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 4>pick him up. Let's see him on this coverage. Just

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.959
<v Speaker 4>a quick reaction there. So he's got very quick feet,

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, he's got he's very fluid in his motions,

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, and you can play inside and outside what

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 4>you see? Yeah, what you see there is a really

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 4>good to be able to mirror and close quickly on routes.

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 4>That's very important when you're playing.

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 3>In the slot.

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 2>That's like a big deal, right.

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 4>This one reminds me of something that Raheem Morris said

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 4>when he was coaching defensive backs. I didn't really need

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 4>to circle him there because.

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 3>It's a lot of nice of him.

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Watch this back again. Raheem Moore so always used to

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 4>tell those cornerbacks look and lean. It's kind of like

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 4>using the sideline to help you in the coverage. So

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 4>as you're running with your guy, you're also kind of

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 4>leaning towards him and forcing him more and more to

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.440
<v Speaker 4>the sideline. And that was always something that Raheem Moore said. Oh,

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 4>it's maybe all the coaches do, but I just remember

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 4>him saying it. So as you see the guy goes

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 4>to the sideline, he's able to run with him, and

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>he's keeping his eyes on the football, but he's also

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 4>kind of directing him towards the sideline. Yeah, and so

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 4>he's making him run on a room. You'll see that

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 4>even better on this next clip, which is from another angle.

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 4>See how he's he's forced him towards the sideline.

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>That Yeah, No, it's now he's the only one that

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 1>could make that catch.

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it's nothing that's going to be called a penalty.

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.839
<v Speaker 4>They're not hand fighting or anything. They're just he's he's

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 4>leaning on him.

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, use the sideline to your advantage.

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 2>So that's a really nice play there.

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 4>He Now here's the deal. So we're talking about guys

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:28.240
<v Speaker 4>whose draft stock could go up and down.

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 4>He had hip surgery in October and missed the rest

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 4>of the season, was having a good season, had a

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.319
<v Speaker 4>really good twenty twenty three season. But anytime a guy

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 4>has a medical issue like that, you have to wonder

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 4>if that's gonna how are they you know?

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 3>And that's when the combine becomes.

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>So you're exactly right. It's exactly what I was going

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to say. You hit.

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 4>What happens to him at the combine, running and all that,

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.680
<v Speaker 4>it will be far less important than what his medical show.

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.559
<v Speaker 4>So if you feel good about him, he could go

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 4>higher because good cornerbacks are hard to find, and they're

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 4>they're they're going to rise up the draft if they do.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, So great stuff for sure.

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Those a breakdown to some of these guys, and again

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>this is just the beginning of the road of the draft.

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.719
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have several more of these where we look

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.160
<v Speaker 1>at it every which way to Sunday, so that you

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>are ready to know what the Bucks might do, not

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>just in the first round, but the draft overall.

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see you next time.
