0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>What is up, Dolphins, And welcome to the Draft Time Podcast.

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I am your host, Travis Wingfield, And on today's show,

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the draft is a rap. We're gonna deep dive two

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>more prospects, tell you about the entire class, hear from

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Mike McDaniel and Chris Greer one more time, and then

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>call it a weekend. But plenty more coverage coming away

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>next week on the Dolphins twenty twenty five Draft from

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 1>the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 2>This is the Draft Time Podcast.

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:41.959
<v Speaker 1>Heye, So the deep dives are coming, much like the dragons,

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>they are coming. I promise you trust that. But I

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want to rush it and push something out without

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>studying it deeply. And I can't possibly get to six

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>deep dives on the podcast today, So I'll give you

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>a quick report on the last fifth round pick, the

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>sixth round pick, and the two seventh rounders. We'll come

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>back next week on the show and do a comprehensive

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>deep dive on those guys like we'll do today with

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Phillips out of Maryland, the defensive tackle and Jason

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Marshall Junior, the cornerback out of Florida. Let's go ahead

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>and start the podcast this.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Way, though.

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>So we first made a trade at the top of

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the fourth round to go back in the draft and

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>recoup a third round draft pick next year from the

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Houston Texas. The details are, we gave up pick one

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>six team and two twenty four in the seventh round.

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>The Texans gave us back pick one seventy nine at

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the top of the fifth round, and then next year's

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six third round draft pick, which could be

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>anywhere from let's see that would be pick sixty five

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>if they finished dead last, and if they win the

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>championship would be oh gosh, live math ninety six before

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the comp picks, right, So anywhere from yeah, sixty five

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to ninety six for next year's third round draft pick,

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>plus you get your own third round draft pick next

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>year as well. So our final twenty twenty five Miami

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins draft class like this number one, pick thirteen defensive

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>tackle Kenneth Grant out of Michigan, Number two thirty seven

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>overall offensive lineman Jonah Savanaiah from Arizona. Pick number in

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the fifth round one forty three defensive tackle Jordan Phillips

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>out of Maryland, number one fifty overall, also in the

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>fifth round, cornerback Jason Marshall Junior out of Florida pick

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>number one fifty five in the fifth round, safety Dante Trader,

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Junior from Maryland in the sixth round, pick one seventy

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>nine overall, running back Ollie Gordon from Oklahoma State. In

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the seventh round, pick two thirty one, quarterback Quinnywers out

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>of Texas, and then the final pick for the Miami

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins in twenty twenty five, defensive tackle Zeke Biggers out

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of Georgia Tech. We covered Kenneth Grant on Thursday night

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast. He also joined us on the Friday

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>podcast where we covered the second round pick, Jonah Slovaniah.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And we'll get to two more guys today and finish

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>up next week on the rest of the draft. Luckily,

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>as I write this up at two fifteen on a

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Saturday afternoon, though, I am three for three on having

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>studied all of the guys that the Dolphins took so

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>far in the draft, so I have the detailed reports

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>already posted on Grant and Jonah. I will have an

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in depth report on this podcast on Jordan Phillips and

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I had to get in the film room on Jason

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Marshall Junior. So we'll do a quick word on the

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.519
<v Speaker 1>rest of the picks and then come back for those

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 1>deeper dives.

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Sound good to you guys, all right? Cool?

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Also, I think we'll go with McDaniel and Greer at

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 1>the end of the podcast for the sake of quickness

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and pumping the podcast out to you all expeditiously. So

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>we finished up here with the final four picks. Safety

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Dante Trader from Maryland. This from Dane Brugler. With his

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>urgent competitive mentality. Trader has a twitchy response to plays

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>in front of him and loves to be around the action.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>His long speed is not as impressive as his short

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>area burst. He's a tough, instinctive defender at his best

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>driving downhill, although he can't patrol the DP half and

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>matchup in man coverage versus tight ends. He talked about

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>this is me talking now. Trader talked about Buddha Baker

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>as the guy that he models his game after on

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>his zoom call with the South Florida Media, and man,

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>what a sharp session that was. In the interview, talking

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>about coverage, shells and different responsibilities. He talked about the

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>non negotiable of being a core four special teamer at

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Maryland when he first arrived and how that kind of

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>set him up for success. To learn about everything you

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>get you have to earn at this sport, at this level,

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and all the hard work that goes into that just

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>continues to track with the character in love of the game.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>He also was a lacrosse player at Maryland, like a

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>highly recruited one, and split his attention between two sports,

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and Brugler writes that he thinks that with a full

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>dedication out to football, that Trader can take another step.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Running Back Ali Gordon from Oklahoma State. Now I do

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>know Olie tape. In fact, I had a deep dive

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>written up on him. I'm gonna save the deeper dive

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and just give you my pre draft ride up here

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>on Ali Gordon. Here's what I've got, super high cut,

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and twenty five pound running back with a

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>highlight reel of high hurling defenders.

0:04:59.400 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Think about that too.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Twenty five and high hurdling guys, not too bad. He

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>is an upright runner, takes long strides, has long legs.

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what high cut means. Doesn't mess around with movement,

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>but seeks out contact and punishment.

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Getting downhill.

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Not really gonna make you miss in short spaces, but

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>he'll try to go through you instead. Exceptional pass protector

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>who really takes it upon himself to be the last

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>nine of defense for the quarterback. Almost takes it personal

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>if you try to hurt his quarterback or hit his quarterback.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Has a vertical lean that can push back defenders or

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>run through tackles with plus contact balance, and has the

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 1>ability to find the cutback lane the bend back lane

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>in zone schemes. Builds to speed, not quick in short spaces.

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Vicious pass protector was a big part of the screen

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>game there, but was not asked to do a whole

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>lot otherwise in the passing game at Oklahoma State. Staying

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>there in the Big twelve, No, that's sec Now shoot

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Texas quarterback Quinn viewers from Dane Brugler overall viewers has

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the arm, intelligence and employees that will translate to the

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>next level, although his up and down decision making limitations

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>as a play extender and durability concerns create question marks

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>for his pro ceiling. I remember when Quinn yours was

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like talked about as a future number one draft pick.

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>This last season did not go very well for him

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>at Texas, but perhaps that creates a chip on his

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 1>shoulder to come in here and light light the world

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>on fire. And then finally defensive tackles Zeke Biggers from

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Georgia Tech from Brugler. Once again, Biggers passes the eye

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>test with flying colors and flashes with spurts of power

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to create knockback or force his momentum through gaps. He

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 1>can handle himself for double teams, but does not have

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the quickness to get through single blocks to extend his range.

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll have more for you guys on those two players,

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Ali Gordon and Dante Trader, as well as of course

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Youwers and Biggers. Let's go ahead and take a quick

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>break early in the show right here, come back on

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the other side and get into the deep dive the

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>profiles here on both Jordan Phillips and Jason Marshall Junior.

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.039
<v Speaker 1>That's Next Draft Time podcast brought to you by Auto Nation.

0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>All R Let's go ahead and get into this now.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>First off, the theme continues right three players over one

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>thousand pounds of humanity and Jordan Phillips from Maryland is

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>another one of these high character, team first type of

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>guys that helps you set your foundation in the middle.

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>We did an entire segment on it last night on

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the show, and now we get a toss another three

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty pound player with grit, power determination to

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the mix. And I wrote all of this before we

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>just turn in the pick for running back Olie Gordon from.

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State, who is a butt kicker.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I want to use the word that starts

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>with A, but it's a family friendly show here. That's

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>what he is, which continues that theme of getting tougher,

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>more physical, stronger, bigger, shortyardage conversion ability, bad weather ability

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>on the road, all that stuff. All these moves give

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you a chance, give you the opportunity to quell that

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 1>question you've had for a couple of years now, right,

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that comes up every December in media talking points and

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the results as well. So I think you've done a

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>good job of getting yourself a chance to correct that

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>and add some stake to the sizzle you've enjoyed for

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of years here in Miami. But I

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>want to do this first because of the theme talking

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>about the background of Jordan Phillips. We'll get to the

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>film here in a minute, but just a quick background.

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 1>He won the Pat Tillman Award at the Shrine Bowl

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>this year, which is a player who embodies character, intelligence, sportsmanship,

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and service, recognizing their impact on and off the field.

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Here's what Dane Brugler at The Athletic wrote about him.

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Phillips is a dancing bear with big man twitch and

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>commanding power, but his immense talent needs to be unlocked

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>unlocked rather by more mature timing and technique, which to

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>me is Austin Clark's specialty. Back to Dane, although he

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.320
<v Speaker 1>will need time, he has the traits and work ethic

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to become a rotational nose with the upside of an

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>NFL starter man that seems just like the guy you

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>want in the fifth round. I mean, he's also a

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 1>Florida guy. He played hoop and was on a swimming

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and diving team as a youth and a wrestler throughout

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.839
<v Speaker 1>the course of heist. Cool, so very well versed in

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>multiple sports, and that's where you can see the movement skills. Right.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>We always talk about, or for a long time, the

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>conversation about specializing in one or two in one sport,

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, don't do that, because you're robbing your body's

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>ability to learn natural movements. And when you watch Jordan

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Phillips play, it is so apparent that he was playing sports,

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of sports throughout his entire youth. I mean

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the way swimming teaches your body to move differently versus wrestling,

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>versus basketball. All of that stuff pays off, and I

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>think it has for Jordan Phillips. The film on this

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.079
<v Speaker 1>guy is really fun to watch. Kyle Krabs had him

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 1>as his ninety eighth overall player. Simon Clancy from the

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Three Yards Per Carry podcast wrote that he would be

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a classic Howie Roseman Steele in the third round. Instead,

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 1>he goes off the board in the fifth round to

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Chris Greer in the Miami Dolphins, which the fifth round

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in the past, I mean Rashad Jones, Jaya Jaye, even

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the one year we got of Tony Lippitt, Bobby McCain.

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.559
<v Speaker 1>It's been a pretty fruitful round for the Miami Dolphins

0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>over the years. Here's what I wrote pre draft about Phillips.

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm three for three on guys that I was pretty

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.560
<v Speaker 1>big on three guys that were on my guy's list

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>go first three picks to the Miami Dolphins. I think

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Phillips is going to be one of the first picks

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>on day three. I was wrong about that, but he

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>was a Day three pick and be a stud who

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 1>falls because of the depth of this class. Squatty body,

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>six foot one, three hundred and twenty pounds. He can

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>play the nose, but has the flexibility to win with

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>quickness and bend. He's able to generate momentum, then pull

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the string and get guys off balance. A lot of

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>that grip strength you see from his wrestling background. He's

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>so powerful with superb core strength. That combo with his

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>quickness and pliability tell you, yep, this guy did wrestle

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>back in high school. They're always so easy to spot

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 1>to me with their toughness in the way they play

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the game. He kicked butt at the Shrine Bowl. Guys

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 1>could not handle his speed. Reading some of the draft

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>reports on him, the common knock is a lack of length,

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.599
<v Speaker 1>which you know, six foot one not terribly long in

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 1>terms of the wingspan to stack some blocks on the nose.

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe shows up a little bit on the tape, but

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>That's why to me, he wasn't you know, a top

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.079
<v Speaker 1>five defensive tack gold in this class, didn't get picked

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>among the top five guys. And the guy you drafted

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday can do that to anyone. And oh, by

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the way, so can Vinitio Jones. So I think that

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>there is an opportunity here for him to play multiple

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>spots across a defensive line, even here in year one,

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>should he earn those reps.

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 2>More on that in the fit.

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.080
<v Speaker 1>But man, the pass rush twitch, he's got a wicked

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 1>spin movie. He sets up with a quick first step. Really,

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the first two or three steps of his pass rushes

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>or his get off in general is where he can win.

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 1>And then from there he plays with such a natural leverage,

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.559
<v Speaker 1>and he can really generate power through that pad level

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.839
<v Speaker 1>and through his quickness. I just love a wrestler down

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 1>in the trenches.

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 1>We talked with Kenny g about dabbling and wrestling back

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>in high school. Jordan was a full on stud in

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the sport. I think you see that in the hand

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 1>usage and the grappling that he has. Sometimes it would

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>look like a rep would come to a stalemate against

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>his man that he's rushing versus and then he just

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>bowls him over and the guy goes down like sniper style,

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and that a lot of times can be attributed to

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 1>super heavy hands, which again the grappling and the fact

0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:01.719
<v Speaker 1>that he's a powerlifter. You got to have pretty good

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>grip strength to be a powerlifter. I think that his

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>usage at Maryland was, how do I say, maybe not

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the best use of his skill set. And you're gonna

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>learn about this guy being a very selfless player and

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 1>how he was able to do whatever the team needed

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>him to do to win games. But I thought maybe

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>his best position might be the three technique and where

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he could play in the next level because

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>we do have those guys that are twenty plus pounds

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 1>heavier than him with Kenneth Grant and Benito Jones, so

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.199
<v Speaker 1>he does have that nose tackle experience. I think the

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins have done a good job so far in this

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>draft of getting good foundational pieces inside but also providing

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 1>like options beyond them, like James Daniels can play center

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>in a pinch if you need him to. You know,

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about Larry Borham with garden tackle experience on the

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, and now with the defensive guys you got

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>with Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips, like you have nose

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>tackle options and three tech options. I remember last year

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I always say, like, man if Zach Seeler goes down,

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>like we don't have the bodies to fill out that position,

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Like I like deseean Hand and you know Benito Jones,

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 1>But when you lose one of those top line guys,

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 1>like it really cuts into your depth. I think Miami

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 1>is better equipped now with the guys they have up

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>front to be able to withstand the attrition of an

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.839
<v Speaker 1>NFL season. So to me, I think this figure is

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to be a rotational piece across multiple spots in different

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 1>fronts and different packages. But with his real chance to

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.719
<v Speaker 1>shine being as a true three technique. You've got all

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>kinds of edges on this team that can impact football games.

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>And now with Grant and Phillips, you have two guys

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>that can really play the three. Grant can play the nose,

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Jordan can in a pinch as well. But you really

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 1>deep into your front and the options you have there.

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>With Jordan, I think the only thing that's lacking is

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>just seasoning. I mean, he's twenty years old, like all

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the things you look at, you know that maybe don't

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>jump off the tape. The stuff that makes him last

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>until the fifth round is to me, because he's so young,

0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty years old. His best ball is ahead of him.

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Super mature young man, as we heard on his media

0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 1>his press conference with the media down here, with upside

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 1>things like finishing an eye. Discipline is where I think

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you can get some improvement from him. But that, to me,

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that comes with time and hard work, which he is

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.760
<v Speaker 1>not afraid of. And then he also has a really

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>good pass rush arsenal, which tells you, like, you know,

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not like he's just his raw prospect, like he's

0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>put the time in to do certain things and get

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>better in the game that way, And that's pretty impressive

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>for a twenty year old man. His fit here, you know,

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the scheme fit.

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Here in a moment.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 1>But how about this quote from Maryland Head coach Mike Loxley,

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>who by the way, was an OC for TUA back

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in the day and once was a big fan of

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Oosa's game and still is quote, he has pulled guys

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>along with him that didn't always do things the right way.

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Now they're following him. That's where player led comes in.

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>And from that same article I read on umturps dot

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>com something that hit one of his teammates said, quote,

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Coach Locksley always said, if you make it about the team,

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody benefits. If you make it about yourself, only you benefit.

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>If everyone wins, the team wins. And I feel like

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Jordan embodied that. It just goes to show selflessness and

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>shows that the team is his focus. That's the kind

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of guy that Jordan is. End quote. And we kind

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of covered this in the fit in terms of where

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I think he has his best chance to shine. And

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the thing that keeps standing out to me is the

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>quickness off the snap in his pad level, and you know,

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>he really uproots guys from underneath their shoulder pads, and

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 1>that lateral explosiveness will play really, really well. And the

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>thing we talk about all the time here, all the

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 1>rush games the Dolphins run up front, they are one

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>of the most prominent teams in terms of stunts and

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>slants and twist and with him with Steeler and Grant

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>setting picks and him looping in off those picks with quickness.

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>We saw Christian Wilkins get like, what did you have

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>seven or eight sacks that last year here, half of

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>those were off of free runs from stunt pick stunts

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>that Zach Seedler said for him, I think that he

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 1>can do that as well. For Jordan Phillips, so his

0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 1>stats in advanced metrics. He's played one thousand and forty

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>five college snaps over like two years and some change

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>was he played his first year barely played in the

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 1>snaps at all, just twenty years old. So youth and

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 1>beef has been a theme here for the first three picks.

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Grant's twenty one, so is Savinaya Savinaya.

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get that right.

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Eventually you're going to hear about his sack total a

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.440
<v Speaker 1>whole lot, which was zero, and I get it, Like

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the you know, when you don't know about a player,

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you go look at the stat sheet, you see that

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you're like, hey, what's what's the deal with that? But

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that was the same thing with Chop Robinson last year,

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>who had just a couple of sacks as his final

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>europe Penn State. And anyone that you know, really evaluates

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>football knows that sacks, like without context is not a

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 1>very telling statistic. His presence was felt as a pass

0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>rusher sixteen pressures last year ten the year prior, so

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty six on five hundred and eighteen pass rush reps,

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>almost exclusively over the nose, which is the toughest place

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to win your pass rush from. Like the best centers

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL have pass block efficiency scores of ninety

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>nine plus. The best tackles are like ninety six plus,

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>so it's harder to get pressures from that position. But

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 1>his alignment last year two hundred and eighty three snaps

0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 1>in either a gap which is you know, nose tackle

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>zero technique one technique did play two forty three in

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>the B gaps which can be two two I and

0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 1>three techniques, So I guess not exclusively, but man a

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of the pass rush production I see comes on

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the tape from the zero one technique alignments. He also

0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.359
<v Speaker 1>made twenty stops on two hundred and sixty five rundown reps.

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Those are tackles within that are considered wins for the defense,

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, percentage of the yards to gain in the

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>defense's favor. He was an eightieth percent tile weight measurement

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 1>at three to twelve at the combine, but guys typically

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>drop weight at the combine, and he'll probably put some

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>more weight back on eightieth percent tile in bench in

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine reps eighty second with a thirty one inch vertical.

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 1>You see the explosiveness all over his tape. Seventy second

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>percent tile broad jump that's a nine flat broad jump,

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.399
<v Speaker 1>and sixty fifth percent tile in the shuttle.

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.119
<v Speaker 2>He did not run a forty yard dash.

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.919
<v Speaker 1>And then we picked again just seven slots later and

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 1>pulled a cornerback off the board. And admittedly this was

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.640
<v Speaker 1>a player that I had not watched in the pre

0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>draft process. So there's some film work to be done

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>here and coming back on the air. Now the film

0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>work has been done. Jason Marshall, Junior, the cornerback out

0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 1>of Florida. Now this is interesting to me because the

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 1>team has played a lot of zone and never get

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 1>this twisted the teams that play more man. It's like

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a maximum fifty percent man coverage versus zone coverage.

0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 2>It's his zone league.

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 1>But we've been a seventy plus percent zone team over

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of years and last year for coach Weaver.

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.000
<v Speaker 1>But this dude excels in man coverage and he has

0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.919
<v Speaker 1>an imposing look when he comes up and press. His

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 1>length and aggression. Those both stand out to me. He

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>likes to get hands on guys at the line of

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.159
<v Speaker 1>scrimmage and can really reroute and hand fight up the

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.360
<v Speaker 1>stem as well as at the top of the route.

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't lose his balance through contact. I did think

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>there were some times where he would get stacked and

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>struggle to recover, but that's also kind of the nature

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of the position, right especially in the sec you're going

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to lose to some of those guys at LSU, at

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Alabama and all those schools that produce all these big

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>time wide receivers. The athleticism that he showed and his

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.199
<v Speaker 1>testing shows up on tape. He's a good mover with

0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 1>smooth transition and change of directions. He gets his hands

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 1>on footballs. He led the team in pass breakups two

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of the last three years. He was leading this year

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 1>when he got so it could have been three for three,

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.240
<v Speaker 1>but his last interception was in twenty twenty two, so

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought the ball production would kind of match that

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a little closer, but it hasn't the last couple of years.

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens as a pro I think there's

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.800
<v Speaker 1>room to grow in zone coverage. I mean, there's room

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.199
<v Speaker 1>for every player to grow at every level, especially for

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.199
<v Speaker 1>a rookie. But where all the experience he has and

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 1>all the press that he's played, you can see that

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 1>all over the tape. But there is some gambling from

0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>off positions, which you know that was the case for

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Will Johnson, who was rumored to be a top fifteen

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 1>pick this year. I think his eyes can get caught

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 1>in the backfield from time to time, Like there's a

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.119
<v Speaker 1>rep in a game last year where they double moved

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.439
<v Speaker 1>against the Hurricanes and he bites pretty hard downhill and

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.960
<v Speaker 1>they hit a wheel up the field for a long touchdown.

0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't feel the tackling ability really jumped off the

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 1>tape one way or the other. I wasn't blown away

0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 1>by it. I wasn't turned off by it. I think

0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>his experience and all those reps shows up in the

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 1>way he processes from off positions. He can sort of

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 1>start to cheat based on the information that he gathers

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:57.800
<v Speaker 1>from the post snap movement and start to kind of

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>cap the vertical routes before they develop. The hands and

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the length up and press to me are his calling card,

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 1>his ability to inside hand jam with eyes on the quarterback,

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and then crossover step and stay in trail position.

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:12.400
<v Speaker 2>It's all very fluid with.

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 1>How he does like he's really a lot of times

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 1>you see guys like the shorts and the T shirt

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:19.879
<v Speaker 1>workouts are great, then they get pads on and the

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.200
<v Speaker 1>contact starts to happen and their game changes.

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't happen for him.

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.440
<v Speaker 1>He can really play like football, which is good for

0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a football player. That's where I think he's the best, though,

0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.200
<v Speaker 1>press funnel to your help from trail technique and disrupt

0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>with constant contact and physicality throughout the stem without getting flagged. Obviously,

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.120
<v Speaker 1>he really does trust his eyes again, sometimes for the better,

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and making the big jump on the football, sometimes for

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the worst, and gambling and getting caught with your hand

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>in the cookie jar. The best example of that was

0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 1>a third down of him his physicality and trusting his eyes.

0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>A best example of that was a third down rap

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.160
<v Speaker 1>against Mississippi State this year where they tried to get

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.000
<v Speaker 1>free access to their best receiver after a day of

0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>really struggling to get any offense going, and a lot

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of that was because he was taking this receiver out

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 1>of the game. But he had been manned up on

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 1>this player the entire game and just wasn't getting anything going.

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>So they stack this huge tight end.

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.359
<v Speaker 1>A stack is where you put one player up on

0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the line of scrimmage and then a player right behind

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.160
<v Speaker 1>him so you can't jam him. So they stack him

0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to try to get a free access route, and Marshall

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.399
<v Speaker 1>fights through the tight end and gets around him like

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.679
<v Speaker 1>gets through the pick right and then drives on the

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.120
<v Speaker 1>throw and breaks the ball up from behind the receiver

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.000
<v Speaker 1>and just makes a real like will not be denied

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.440
<v Speaker 1>temperament from that cornerback position type of play. I love

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 1>why I saw on tape from him in that regard

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 1>his fit here. I think there's some interesting flexibility here,

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and not in the sense of playing inside and outside,

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:42.400
<v Speaker 1>but how I think with how much inverted two we run,

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>which is where your cornerback step down or rather flip

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>deep and go play high coverage show and your safety

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:50.440
<v Speaker 1>has come down and cover the curl flat and the

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.400
<v Speaker 1>hook zones and play man coverage underneath. And seeing cater

0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Coe who excel with that inversion coverage and with Jalen

0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Ramsey to a separate degree, I think there's a lot

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>of ability for him in Marshall's game to do the

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.440
<v Speaker 1>same thing. I think that his length and his physicality

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>again bigger route runners or even the jitterbug guys, is

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>what really impresses me. He's just imposing. He looks the part,

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and when he can play with defined leverage, he can

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.119
<v Speaker 1>really run the receiver off his stem and take him

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 1>out of the equation as he disrupts the timing. But

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:21.880
<v Speaker 1>all of those traits tell me that he could probably

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:24.640
<v Speaker 1>be a really good tight end matchup piece and cover

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 1>running backs too. That's a unique skill set that a

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of cornerbacks don't have as well as play the

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 1>crossers you know in zone coverage, or play like a

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 1>robber role from depth. A lot of different ideas I

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 1>think you can roll with Jason Marshall Junior. I'm curious

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 1>toe where he winds up fitting during his rookie season.

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 1>One thing he's going to have to GetUp to speed

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>quickly on that he didn't do in college. And this

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:46.879
<v Speaker 1>is the case when you're a four year starter at

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a big time position at a big time program. Not

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a ton of special teams reps there for Jason Marshall Junior. Now,

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:56.439
<v Speaker 1>as far as the statistics and the advanced metrics. He

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.400
<v Speaker 1>played forty five games, started thirty nine of those over

0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:03.280
<v Speaker 1>four years at Florida, another no transfers player. That's three

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>of our first four picks that didn't have any transfers

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 1>in their background. It's kind of a unique fact about

0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>players these days. Ninety eight career tackles, seven and a

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:14.399
<v Speaker 1>half for loss, one sack, twenty seven passes defense, and

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>two picks. In his career, he played two four hundred

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and eighteen career snaps, including twelve hundred and twenty eight

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>in coverage, and teams completed just sixty eight of the

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and forty three targets they threw at him.

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 1>That's a forty seven point six percent completion rate. And

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>at one thousand, one hundred ninety two yards, that's less

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 1>than a yard per coverage snap. That's point nine seven

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.119
<v Speaker 1>yards per snap. And you guys know on the podcast

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 1>here anything under one is top top tier in that statistic.

0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:46.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's career too, by the way, not just this year.

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 2>That's four years.

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 1>This year, despite missing six games, he had three quarterback

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 1>pressures on his five blitz attempts. He made eight stops

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:56.919
<v Speaker 1>against the run, a career high in half of a season,

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and he allowed just one hundred and seventy three yards

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.400
<v Speaker 1>on two hundred six coverage STAPs. He was the guy

0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that dictated their coverage. They would play him off the

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:06.959
<v Speaker 1>ex position and kind of take away the other team's

0:24:07.000 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>best receiver in the sec there. He's also been almost

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:14.920
<v Speaker 1>exclusively a perimeter corner in college twenty one ninety eight

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 1>snaps out wide, sixty two in the slot, one thirty

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:20.479
<v Speaker 1>six in the box, and he even had fourteen as

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.159
<v Speaker 1>a safety. That's typically you know in third and a

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>mile dime packages where everybody's away from the football. So

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:29.119
<v Speaker 1>don't read too much into that one. As for the measurables,

0:24:29.160 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 1>six zho three, that's eighty first percent tile. In terms

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.040
<v Speaker 1>of his height, one hundred and ninety four pounds a

0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:37.400
<v Speaker 1>seventy third percent tile. He was eighty first percent tile

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.400
<v Speaker 1>in his explosive metrics, thirty seven and a half inch

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:43.400
<v Speaker 1>vertical ten to oh five on the broad a four

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:46.760
<v Speaker 1>four nine forty was seventy third percent tile, and his

0:24:46.880 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 1>quick ten split at one five to four was eighty

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:53.679
<v Speaker 1>third percent tile. Eric Galco, talking about background now, the

0:24:53.720 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 1>director of the Shrine Bowl wrote, Dolphins land an immediate

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>versatile in A versatile contributor to the defensive back room

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:02.119
<v Speaker 1>in Florida's j Jason Marshall junior. He impressed clubs with

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the Shrine both his football IQ and coverage and team interviews,

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and he had a very busy week there. At six

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 1>percent title among cornerbacks in the twenty twenty five draft.

0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Would have been a fourth or fifth round pick last year,

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and if not for injury during this season, was trending

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 1>towards being a top one hundred pick. Great value for

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins here Miami guy Right went to Palmeto High

0:25:23.920 --> 0:25:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in Miami. He had offers from Florida, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon,

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:30.920
<v Speaker 1>penns at USC Tennessee, all the great colleges. He earned

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>sec academic honor roll and graduate with a degree in

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 1>education Sciences. That's Jason Marshall junior, Dolphins fifth round draft pick,

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the three they made on this day from Florida.

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Once again, we're gonna have the other four deep dives

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 1>on these prospects that were drafted by your Miami Dolphins.

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>On I believe a Monday and Tuesday edition of the

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Draft Time podcast is my plan. Let's go ahead and

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 1>take our last break right there, come back on the

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>other side, and here from Mike McDaniel and Chris Greer

0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>one last time to recap Day three of the draft

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 1>and the entire draft Draft Time Podcast brought to you

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:07.320
<v Speaker 1>by Auto Nation. So Mike McDaniel and Chris Career, after

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 1>a long weekend. Man, these draft weekends, they they'll take

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:13.439
<v Speaker 1>a toll on you in terms of the work that

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 1>goes into it for everybody involved, content creators, draft selection makers, scouts.

0:26:19.160 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just a long weekend.

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:23.120
<v Speaker 1>The entire NFL is kind of on for the entire

0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 1>seventy two hours.

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 2>But got through it all.

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>They spoke to us here after Day three and let's

0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and kick it off with this, because the

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins did not address the cornerback position until the fifth

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:36.880
<v Speaker 1>round of this year's draft, with Florida's Jason Marshall Junior,

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a spot that many folks thought could be a first

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>round pick, maybe you'd come back in the second round,

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 1>but it didn't happen until the fifth round. And so

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Mike McDaniel was asked about the idea of doing that

0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:50.159
<v Speaker 1>and what went into the decision for that and what

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 1>it means going forward here at the cornerback position.

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:55.920
<v Speaker 3>We were very prepared for the multiple scenarios that can

0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 3>come up. You know, I think when we talk about

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:05.360
<v Speaker 3>players adding to our football team, you're there's a lot

0:27:05.400 --> 0:27:08.120
<v Speaker 3>of needs. You're trying to make sure that you improve

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:12.400
<v Speaker 3>with every player, that the opportunity that you have matches

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 3>what that player can provide. And realistically, there there was

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 3>scenarios where we could see, you know, this wasn't the

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:25.360
<v Speaker 3>how it played out wasn't wasn't foreign to us. It's

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:29.160
<v Speaker 3>important that you have people valued appropriately and you don't

0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 3>overvalue players because that's where you can run into some trouble.

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 3>So the way I was very happy with, you know,

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:41.680
<v Speaker 3>the things, the needs that were able to be met

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 3>because to me, the you know, for instance, you feel

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:51.120
<v Speaker 3>good about the offensive line. You know you want to improve.

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 3>But it wasn't just the idea of improving. We feel

0:27:54.359 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 3>like we targeted players at all the positions that we

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.880
<v Speaker 3>knew that could help us, and you know, as our

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.040
<v Speaker 3>picks came up and as we were able to have

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to go different places, we attacked those processes, so

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 3>very aware of the possibility of a you know, the

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.360
<v Speaker 3>guy that we like being being in the fourth round

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:24.879
<v Speaker 3>or the fifth and you're just trying to focus on

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 3>the entire team and make sure that you get better

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:29.439
<v Speaker 3>with each and every selection.

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I like that point about how you get you know,

0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.760
<v Speaker 1>forcing things can wind up making you make wrong decisions.

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:37.200
<v Speaker 1>And I was texting with good buddy Kyle Krab's Front

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>of the Show here on Saturday morning, like I was like,

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like Kobe Bryant, I kind of like

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Denzel Burke in that first spot in the fourth round,

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and he was like, it kind of feels like going

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>cornerback would be going cornerback just to go cornerback because

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 1>he felt there was better options on the board. And

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>so to the Dolphins and they trade back, they get

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>defensive tackle with the next pick, and they come back

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 1>with a couple of defensive backs later on after that.

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 1>So I think that, you know, I think that that

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:05.760
<v Speaker 1>concept is right, because when you do wind up saying

0:29:05.760 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>like we have to take this position in this spot,

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 1>that's that's how you make poor decisions. And for the

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins to stick to their board and stick to just

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 1>making the football team better, like over a long period

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 1>of time. That's the best mode of team building, right

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 1>It's you put enough, you make up the margin for

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 1>better players opposed to maybe taking a lesser player that

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:27.600
<v Speaker 1>fits a need. Over a long period of time, you're

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a better team at the end of the day.

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 1>And we talk about us all the time on the show,

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Like in modern NFL, the way short term contracts are

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 1>handed out, the way guys change teams on the rag nowadays,

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're drafting for need today, your needs will be

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 1>different six months down the road or even two months

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 1>down the road, right, Like, it just changes all the time.

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 2>It's very fluid.

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 1>So take the best players and try to build your

0:29:48.800 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 1>team through a similar vision rather than say we need

0:29:50.680 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a cornerback here, it's got to be cornerback. I really

0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>like that concept. They had the vision, you know, getting bigger,

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 1>but getting stronger, all that stuff, getting more physical and

0:29:58.240 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>finding guys that love football.

0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:01.479
<v Speaker 2>All those things were key's in this draft.

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think that when you start to go off

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 1>of that and say I need to pivot from that

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 1>strategy and take this position, that's when you could get

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>in trouble.

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Quarterback coming to Miami. Quinn, you were from Texas.

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and hear from Chris Greer on the

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>decision to select.

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Quinn was obviously he had a very good college career.

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.000
<v Speaker 4>Mike and I we met him the year before at

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:27.120
<v Speaker 4>the Texas workout and we spent some time. We've talked

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 4>to coach Scarn scarnaka that's the Sarkasian going back to

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 4>my New England stuff. Coach Sarkisian about him, and you know,

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:39.320
<v Speaker 4>sark really likes him. Was high and was talking about

0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 4>him playing through the injuries this year which affected his

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:45.080
<v Speaker 4>play a little bit, but talked about it's just toughness,

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:48.360
<v Speaker 4>his mental toughness of pushing through with the injury, of

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 4>the expectations, all the pressure, you know, with Manning there

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 4>coming in and and so he loved his competitiveness and

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 4>how he plays and how his teammates respond to him.

0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:00.360
<v Speaker 4>So he was someone that we always had an eye

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 4>on looking at and at the opportunity to point in

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 4>the draft just made sense for us to pull the pick.

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 1>And now we are officially to one of my favorite

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:10.360
<v Speaker 1>parts of the entire calendar, the UDFAS.

0:31:10.400 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I love this time of year.

0:31:11.200 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll have Emory Hunt on the podcast later on to

0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:16.720
<v Speaker 1>once again, for like the fifth consecutive year, probably accurately

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 1>predict which udf as will make the roster. Let's go

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:21.040
<v Speaker 1>ahead and hear from Chris Greer on what that process

0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:23.360
<v Speaker 1>looks like. Turn your touch from the draft now to

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the udf as it did not get selected.

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, as soon as our last pick went, you know,

0:31:28.440 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 4>we're waiting for the end of the draft, but you

0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:35.360
<v Speaker 4>start getting ready to communicate with players and agents to

0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 4>try and see if we can find a spot from

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:42.920
<v Speaker 4>here and make it a mutual agreement. And so for us,

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 4>it's it's it's always something you communicate with, you know,

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 4>the agents throughout the spring too as well about interest

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:52.760
<v Speaker 4>in players. And so for us, we're actively going I said,

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.360
<v Speaker 4>my phone's been going off here as we've been sitting

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 4>here a bunch, and so, yeah, we're excited about some

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 4>of the players we're trying to and hopefully we can

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 4>close some.

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Of those deals.

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Chris was also asked about the veteran free agent market.

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 1>He once again confirmed for us that they have had

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a number of conversations with players on that market. All

0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 1>kinds of guys exist out there, whether it's a Sante

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Samuel Junior. Jack Jones was cut by the Raiders. You

0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:17.400
<v Speaker 1>got Mike Hilton, a really good slot cornerback formerly of

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals and Steelers before that. You got Stefan Gilmour

0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:22.120
<v Speaker 1>out there, who's still doing it at age thirty four.

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 1>You got Rasul Douglas who's been very good for the

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills for a couple of years. You got safeties

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Williams, Julian Blackman as well. So defensive backfield seems

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 1>to be the spot in freegency right now that that

0:32:32.440 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>has the most options available, and it sounds like the

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Dolphins have been in contact with those pieces. I loved

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 1>this question and answer because I've heard a lot about

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it so far about where should James Daniels play in

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>terms of his ability to play left guard right guard.

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Jonas Sylvanah has also played both positions across the offensive line.

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Are both sides, i should say, as well as tackle

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:52.200
<v Speaker 1>and guard. And you kind of get this concept like

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:54.720
<v Speaker 1>you should put James Daniels next to Patrick Paul because

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>he's young and James is older and has experience. And

0:32:57.400 --> 0:32:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought this answer from Mike McDaniel was a really

0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:02.000
<v Speaker 1>good explanation into how the team views it with regards

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 1>to how you put out the best five guys. And

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not necessarily about communication and youth and veteran experienced

0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>about body mechanics and other things. And this is just

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a good answer here from coach McDaniel.

0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think there's a lot that goes into that.

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I think the starting point is the body mechanics and

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:23.480
<v Speaker 3>the comfort level of the individual players. To uh, and

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:29.120
<v Speaker 3>because really a confident, convicted player, the residuals can be

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 3>as powerful as what you're alluding to in terms of experience.

0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 3>I think communication within in that room is key. We

0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 3>pay attention to that. If there is a reason of

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:47.240
<v Speaker 3>communication that dictates maybe a trial, you know, with different

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:49.720
<v Speaker 3>people playing next to each other, flipping sides and stuff,

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 3>we would always do that. I don't uh, I don't foresee,

0:33:55.480 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, the the current players communicator should issue dictating

0:34:01.240 --> 0:34:03.720
<v Speaker 3>where they play. I think it's more of their where

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:07.880
<v Speaker 3>their comfort level is. Simply because of the individuals we

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:14.240
<v Speaker 3>do have are great communicators. Where they are young, they

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:17.120
<v Speaker 3>happen to be pretty good at being able to talk

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:19.399
<v Speaker 3>to each other next to each other, and you all

0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 3>have to have ownership of your job across the board,

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:25.880
<v Speaker 3>regardless if you're a rookie or a veteran. I feel

0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:30.320
<v Speaker 3>comfortable as it stands. But you know, I think we

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 3>try to fashion ourselves as problem solver, So if that

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:37.839
<v Speaker 3>became a problem, I'm sure we'd try to fix it.

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I've got two more here for you.

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to give you this one about the concept

0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:46.360
<v Speaker 1>or the vision I should say to go after players

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 1>in the mold of leaders guys that didn't bail on programs.

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:53.320
<v Speaker 1>There was a very few amount of guys that transferred.

0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:54.960
<v Speaker 1>And not that if you transfer, you like you're a

0:34:54.960 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 1>bad prospect, but like there's examples of guys that refuse

0:34:58.200 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to transfer because they wanted to build that current pro

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:02.320
<v Speaker 1>GM And to me, that says a lot about someone's character.

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 1>We talked about that with with Jonah last night, so

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:06.799
<v Speaker 1>I asked him about that. All the team captains are

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.319
<v Speaker 1>on the on the roster from college, as well as

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the concept of leadership. And I've heard so much about

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the leadership, so I asked Mike and Chris about that.

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 1>And here's Chris Career talking about getting the right type

0:35:17.080 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of player in your building. Here for the Miami Dolphins

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:21.279
<v Speaker 1>to help set that culture. We heard Mike McDaniel back

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>at the owners meetings talking about how the draft can

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.279
<v Speaker 1>set your culture. Well, Miami told you what they want

0:35:25.320 --> 0:35:27.280
<v Speaker 1>their culture to be through this year's draft.

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're always when you investigating the background, you're just

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:33.680
<v Speaker 4>it's the quality of the people and the guys that

0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 4>love football and the teammates and the and the drive.

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:41.600
<v Speaker 4>Like Jordan Phillips. Every time we asked anyone about him,

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:43.720
<v Speaker 4>they're like, you know, what's he doing? Then he's probably

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:45.399
<v Speaker 4>in the weight room working out. They're like, the guys

0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 4>are working out always. And literally the first thing he

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:50.200
<v Speaker 4>said to me on the phone when I said to

0:35:50.200 --> 0:35:52.359
<v Speaker 4>your a Dolphin goes, that's great, coach. Can I get

0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:55.279
<v Speaker 4>the playbook right away? You know, like, hey pay the

0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:58.200
<v Speaker 4>first like just take it, take it down and enjoy

0:35:58.239 --> 0:35:58.800
<v Speaker 4>the day.

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 1>But he's yeah.

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:03.960
<v Speaker 4>So those guys like Jonah, they were awesome just talking

0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 4>about those stories about you know, when adversity hit them

0:36:08.200 --> 0:36:10.959
<v Speaker 4>with the teams and how what they did to stay

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:12.959
<v Speaker 4>there and try and help their teams to get better

0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 4>and win. So those tite You're always drawn to those

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:19.239
<v Speaker 4>kinds of stories with players and yes, these kids are

0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:20.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, quality kids are excited to.

0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's conclude with this because if you're not familiar with

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Mike McDaniel's history going back to the Niners and you know,

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the Texans and the Commanders or the Washington football team,

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:33.880
<v Speaker 1>like his entire career, he's kind of been a running

0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:37.240
<v Speaker 1>back like Savant, he finds running backs late in drafts

0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:39.279
<v Speaker 1>and udfa's Jeff Wilson one of those guys that he

0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:42.319
<v Speaker 1>was big on. And the Dolphins have found running backs

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 1>here in the draft under Mike McDaniel's watch. And now

0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Ollie Gordon, the Oklahoma State monster running back, is here.

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 1>And when you turn in a draft card for running

0:36:51.160 --> 0:36:53.239
<v Speaker 1>back on Day three, as Miami Dolphins like, you should

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:54.879
<v Speaker 1>probably listen to what Mike mcdoniel has to say. Let's

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:56.879
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and throw it to coach about Olie Gordon's tape.

0:36:57.160 --> 0:37:00.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, saw a lot of really good stuff I saw.

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's not the first time that we've come

0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:09.360
<v Speaker 3>across an evaluation, you know, even at that particular school

0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:13.440
<v Speaker 3>where you have someone have a really big year followed

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:18.120
<v Speaker 3>by maybe a year that they didn't anticipate or is

0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 3>underwhelming for for them, and you know, what's interesting is

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, really unpacking that you watch the despair, any

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:34.080
<v Speaker 3>differences in play, You try to really understand the totality

0:37:34.080 --> 0:37:37.399
<v Speaker 3>of the environments. But the biggest thing is you try

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:40.560
<v Speaker 3>to meet meet the player and engage with him and

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:43.920
<v Speaker 3>and see if you know what they experience, how it's

0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 3>affected him. You're hoping that it burns a fire inside.

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 3>And I think it was pretty evident when we visited

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 3>with him that he he was eager to prove himself.

0:37:54.960 --> 0:38:01.040
<v Speaker 3>So I think that the twenty three tape was very impressive,

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 3>and you know, based upon our interactions with them, we

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:13.080
<v Speaker 3>feel optimistic that is the version that we're going to

0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 3>improve upon moving forward, and which will be up to

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:18.839
<v Speaker 3>him and what he does with this opportunity.

0:38:19.040 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 1>And that is a wrap on the twenty twenty five

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins NFL Draft. We have plenty to come your way, though,

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:26.880
<v Speaker 1>don't don't get it twisted. I have four more player

0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:29.120
<v Speaker 1>breakdowns to give you, guys. We're going to do two

0:38:29.160 --> 0:38:32.600
<v Speaker 1>more of those tomorrow. I gotta find the players. Let

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:34.480
<v Speaker 1>me scroll up my document real quick, because it's all

0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of scat our brain right now.
