Welcome in everybody to the Draft Show, 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.360 presented by Miller, Like the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys. 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:39.320 It's Miller time and it's time to talk draft. Might 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.479 be time to hire a new head coach. We'll know 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.560 very surely here. 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:44.800 Over the next couple of days. 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.479 I think we're starting to get a pretty good fixture 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.800 of it all. But we've got Nick, Harris, Voch Lombardi, 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.320 Tommy Yarsh, Brian brought us. I'm Kyle Yeoman's glad you're 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.560 with us. Lots still to be decided in the building. 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.160 It's kind of tough to really dive in until that 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.480 decision has been made, but we'll hit that later on. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.560 One thing I do want to talk about, Nick, you 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.600 you sent me a quote from the new GM of 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.880 the Tennessee Titans speaking on what it's going to take 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:13.479 up at the front of the draft. And that's one 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.959 thing we haven't mentioned yet is what could happen in 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:20.720 front of the Cowboys at twelve. He said, you don't 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.840 want to pass on a generational talent at the. 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:24.680 Number one pace. 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.080 We are not going to we are not going to 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.319 pass on in terms of the Tennessee Titans. 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.160 So that kind of begs the question, who's the generational 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.280 talent that they're not going to pass on and what else. 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.440 Could fall in front of the first eleven picks. 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.240 There's there's a very clear generational talent in this draft. 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.120 And his name rhymes with Bravis Bunner, you know, And 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.440 I think I think that's the I think that's the 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.600 obvious one. You could make the case that there's three, though. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.240 You can make the case for Abdul Carter, make the case. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:54.800 I'm not necessarily saying that. I'm saying you can make 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.080 the case. And I think you can make the case 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.120 for gent. Yeah, those are the guys you can make 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.240 the case for. You're not making the You're not making 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.800 the case for cam Ward. I don't think you're making 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.280 the case for any of these other guys that are 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.160 you know, rumored to go top five. I think I 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.680 think that they eventually follow on one of those three guys. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.200 But if he's if he's coming out with a statement 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.800 like that, and the odds yesterday in Vegas flip heavily 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.400 into Travis Hunter's favor, I don't know. I think we 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.960 might see Hunter to go to Nashville. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.160 They need a quarterback though they do more than anything, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.120 but they've whipp done some quarterbacks recently. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.320 I mean, maybe Travis Hunter can air that thing out. 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.440 Oh yeah, speaking of generation, we'll Salent, we'll see. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.600 Did you ever hear that type of talk from a 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.720 brand new GM Brian Becket. 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.680 Oh, it's absolutely, you know, it's one of the things 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.560 that when you know, I had the opportunity to run 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.160 the draft in Philadelphia in ninety eight. We were sitting 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:47.519 there in the eleven hole, and you know, if I 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.800 remember working with the scouts in Philadelphia and thinking that 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.399 way about Randy Moss, you know, and Jeff Lurie made 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.920 the statement that you know, listen, Brian, I'm not comfortable 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.320 taking the player, and I'm thinking, okay, well, sir, just 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.960 know that he is this type of a player. He 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.120 can be an absolute difference maker's I just don't feel 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.959 comfortable taking him. Brian and I'll and I'll wear that one. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.680 He goes, I'll wear that one if that's where we're 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.320 going to go, and I said, well, yes, sir, you 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.120 own this team, and and we moved on. But yeah, 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.799 I think that every general manager, you know, the older 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.399 I've gotten, the more I want the I want the 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.880 the the best player, I want the healthiest player, and 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.320 I want the most stable player my first round pick. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.000 And I think if you find a guy that has 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.640 all three of those traits, he's got a chance to 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.920 be that type of player for you. So yeah, I 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.720 can I surely appreciate, Uh what the what the r 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.800 GM there in Tennessee is trying to do? What were 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.960 the three elements there? You said, Yeah, give me, give 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.320 me a guy it's got give me a guy it's 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.200 an outstanding the ability as a player, give me the 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.200 guy that's got the health and give me the guy 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.320 that's the stable guy. Absolutely, you think Travis Hunter fits 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.160 all three of those? I think did Travis Hunter? Absolutely does? 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.840 I think Travis Hunter if you if you really really 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.840 dive into Travis Hunter, you know you could see the 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.840 fact that he plays at such a high level that 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.600 you know, I the only player I kind of remember 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.960 was a Charles Woodson, and I think Charles Woodson to 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.359 me was a generational player. As matter of fact, it 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.320 cost me my job here that with Charles Woodson, that 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.719 I fought for him so hard that Bill Parcells wanted 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.480 nothing to do with me after that point. But Charles 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.760 Woodson went on even later with Green Bay and had 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.120 a tremendous career. But I do believe that. And so, yeah, 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.040 Travis Hunter, you watch how he you know, how he 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.880 plays these games. You watch how he interacts with people. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.000 You know. I mean there's a lot of people he's 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.880 having to deal with because of what social media is nowadays. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.360 He's having to know his own personal life is kind 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.560 of getting drug through the mud a little bit. And 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.520 I think he's handling things very very well. Very stable guy, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.839 you know, outstanding player, and you know the health of 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.880 the guy. He's been banged up a little bit, not 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.960 to the point where it would take you make you 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.159 think about, you know, is he a guy that's always 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.000 going to be hurt. I don't think that's the case 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.520 for Travis Hunter. What do you guys think about outside 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.880 of Hunter? The guys that fit those three different molds. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.880 In terms of a generational type of player, I. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.320 Don't really use generational a lot because I would like 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:18.040 for there to be a whole generation of players, you know, 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.200 prior to you know you being the next dude. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.120 Right. So, Ashton Jentsy, right, fantastic. 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.760 I can't call him generational because two drafts ago would 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.720 have another fantastic running back like this. 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.760 Is John a couple weeks or a couple of years ago. 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.240 Sure, So I think what you got to ask yourself 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.720 with this? First of all, the GM on where he's 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.320 probably lying, right, it's January. You know you're not gonna 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.840 show your hand in early January, late January, February, right, 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.960 But let's just ask, just heal a little game, play 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.680 a little game. Do you take with hindsight Jayden Daniels, 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.200 we know who Jayden Daniels is, franchise quarterback? 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.919 Or do you take generational Travis Hunter. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.480 If I'm Washington, or is assist in general if. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.839 You Tennessee, and we have this time machine where we 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.359 know who Jayden and Daniels is, he's in this draft, 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.960 he's versus let's assume they don't like cam Ward that's 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.920 why he said, oh okay, yeah, right, So let's take 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.359 a generational player versus a quarterback that you feel like 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.080 it's gonna hit and take any quarterback. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.920 Yeah, I'm taking Daniels. Yeah, so it it. 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.400 I mean, you don't want to be Pittsburgh saying okay, well, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.080 let's take Kenny Pickett just because he's a quarterback. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.520 And Kenny Pickett is that a whole nothering And that 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:22.920 was at. 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.800 The twenty fourth overall pick. Now the first overall pick. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.880 So that makes it even worse. So if it's me, man, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.000 if you trust the quarterback, take the quarterback. If you 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.719 don't trust the quarterback, then take the player that you trust. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.279 I'm trusting Travis over cam or Chador or whatever. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.120 Do you trust these quarterbacks? 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.359 I trust cam Ward at number one. I think that 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.600 makes the most sense. And I'm with Vatch. I think 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.000 there's a little bit of coach speaks slash GM speak. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:47.799 Going on little Lyons. 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.680 I think it's a little hashtag lying season because later 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.599 on in this press conference, he also said that they're 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.000 going to turn over every rock to find their franchise 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.479 changing quarterback. And I think for the Titans tennis camp 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.680 Ward makes the sense. Yeah, how much are they gonna 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:03.919 pay im? 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.840 What is it? Forty million dollars? All the money, all 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:06.159 the money? 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.120 Okay, No, I think that, you know, if for them 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.480 in their in their situation, I think quarterback makes the 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:13.000 most sense. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:13.880 And I think that. 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.280 If they if they draft a guy like cam Ward, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.440 then your GM's going to come back out and be like, oh, well, 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.920 he's a generational talent. Because there's your GM speak, because 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.440 they want to sell it to the fan base. So 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.000 I think they're just trying to sell it to the 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.040 fan base. It's his first day on the job. Try 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.320 and generate as much hype as you can. If he's 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.800 If they're going to draft generational player, it's going to 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.520 be Travis Hunter. But if they're going to draft their 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.120 franchise changing quarterback after they turn every rock, I think 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:37.760 it's camp board. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:38.280 Okay. 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.360 I ran in the cam woard last night. He was 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.760 at the North Texas basketball game. I asked him to 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.720 be on the show. He said, no, he's a media can. Okay, 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:46.800 he's just hanging out. 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.560 He's hanging out with his former head coach, Eric Morris. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.000 Yeah, watch the recruit watches just be a situation It's 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.800 like when the Calves have the number one overall pick 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.120 in twenty thirteen and they drafted Anthony Bennett when there 0:07:55.160 --> 0:08:01.360 was they're gonna draft like Nick Scourton first overall. We're 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.120 gonna look back on that quote. Generational. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.280 Okay, all right, wow, he is generation but but like 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.280 those kind of guys, they don't really save the day really, 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.400 like Miles Garrett, right, generational guy. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.000 Yeah, he's not the guy saving Cleveland. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.240 Right, Like they got to look for quarterback and they 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.520 kind of let Baker going. Baker's doing great things somewhere else. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.280 But you know, like Mac didn't change the Raiders, Like 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.000 what generational guy recently has changed that team so much? 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.760 Where Hey, this generational dude changed the whole face of 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.880 what we do quarterback or not? 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:30.800 Are we talking number one overall? Because I think Mahomes, 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:31.680 for sure. 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.439 That's different. He's a generational quarterback. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.240 I think that's kind of outside of a non quarterback 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:37.120 generational player. 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:38.160 When was the last time. 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.720 One of the guys at the top of the list 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.240 might be across the hallway? Micah look at the way 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.280 that this twenty twenty Cowboys defense was and then what 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.960 it has become, said then he changed the face of 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.720 the identity of the Cowboys franchise as the edge rusher, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.640 and a lot of that was dan Quinn too. Don't 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.319 get me wrong, they've they changed the identity, but I 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:57.280 don't think you do that. 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.839 Without Micah in the fold. But I get your point. 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:03.120 And that's just one example along the way. Maybe Jamar 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.319 Chase and what he did. But he's got a generational 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.679 quarterback up there. He's got a great quarterback and John 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.680 say that guy, let me, let me say this, and 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.680 this is going to be way off that probably like 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.079 at a left field, that kid at the Raiders, that 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.679 tight end has got power, rock powers. I mean, if 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.719 they get things kind of fixed up where they get 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.199 the offensive line and you get a quarterback, and that 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.640 kid has a chance to be a player that for 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.640 you know, he could be as great as the Tony 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.080 Gonzalezes and the guys, all those great tight ends that 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.440 we've seen throughout history, you know, I mean the way 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.679 that he makes plays, the way I mean, if he 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.000 stays healthy, I mean he is going to break a 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.120 lot of tight end records. I mean, we saw a 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:43.800 great one here for a number of years. But Chasing 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.040 Witten this kid's got a chance to be even better 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.959 than that. And when you look at numbers and touchdowns 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.120 and all those things, I think he could be a 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:56.800 generational player for the for the Raiders. What happens after Tennessee, 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.560 then if we're talking about generational, we're talking about the 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.040 possibility there of a quarterback. 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:03.440 Or Travis Hunter. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.000 I think we can maybe say that's fair outside of 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.600 nick scenario A moment ago, what happens. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:13.400 With Cleveland, New York, New England, Jacksonville to round out 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.320 that top five? Where do you feel like they could lean. 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.000 Yeah, there's a need kind of across the board from 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.600 two to eleven. I think there's two positions that really 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.440 stick out as edge and receiver. And I see the 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.600 Browns going after Abdual quarter I think that makes the 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.679 most sense. Unless they really like one of these two 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.480 quarterbacks and they fall to them Giants, they're gonna be 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.360 looking for a quarterback. Patriots, they are gonna be looking 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.080 for an edge. Jaguars, you could be making the case 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:38.960 that they could be looking for secondary. I mean, there's 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.720 gonna be some different positions that go before the Cowboys 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.400 pick as well. But I see receiver and edge as 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:45.880 most likely. 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:47.640 Okay, what do you think? 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:48.720 Yeah, I'd agree with that. 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.280 I think Giants and Vegas you're looking at you're looking 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.079 at quarterback and then receiver and edge gonna be something 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.800 offensive line too. I could definitely see be in a 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.040 position that goes at run. You know those those top 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.720 end tackles, like a Will Campbell from LSU or Kelvin 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.760 Banks from Texas. It wouldn't surprised me at all if 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.280 they don't get out of the top ten. I mean, 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.640 you look at teams like Chicago that could use one, Jacksonville, 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.160 maybe even Vegas if they if they really like a 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.040 guy and don't want to go to the quarterback route, 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.120 you can take one there. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.760 You have any positions up top votch that have to 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:21.840 go before. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.480 Twelve, honestly, no, man, Just personally, I think they're just 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.560 gonna take the best dude, like whoever they think the 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.439 best do. I don't think there's a the best wide 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.720 receiver has to go here because they need wide receiver. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.320 I think all these teams kind of suck equally or whatever, 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.319 you know, so they're just gonna go, Okay, we can 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.320 use a lot of things, right, so we'll just take 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.120 Carter right here, we could use a lot. So let's 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.040 just take Mason Graham right here and just take the 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.079 best guy. Because I got to BPA early. If you're 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.800 in that two to five range, you can't go. I 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:50.720 need a receiver. 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:51.280 There you go. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.560 But Mason Graham is much better than this receiver. So 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.720 I'm gonna take the receiver. I think maybe when you 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.680 get down to like eight or nine, that's when those 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.120 guys start to go in for knee more. But I 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.400 think when once you get past Graham and Carter and 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.880 those guys, and you know, t Mac and all that, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:08.920 then it'll kind of open up the board just a 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.360 little bit. But you're not taking Kelvin Banks over over 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.000 Carter or over Yeah. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.560 To me, there's a lot of questions about this offensive 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.880 tackle group. Yeah, and then I think that's going to 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.199 scare some people. I mean especially, and I keep saying this. 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.480 I think, though, when you get to the top of 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.040 that board, you want to take the best player, and 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.439 you want to take the healthiest one, the most stable one. 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.559 That's the three things that I gave you right there. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.520 You want to do everything in your power to eliminate 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.040 any potential mistakes that you're gonna make and that when 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.760 you're in the top five, there's no reason to gamble 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.880 on guys. You take the guy that looks like to 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.760 be and there's no reason not to take the hunters 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.319 and the carters and the gent's and to my point, 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.199 even McMillan, you know from Arizona, there's guys like that. 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.760 I tell you what, if Simmons with the tackle from 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.880 from Ohio State was healthy, he would be in the 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.680 mix for me too. But there's a lot of corners. 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.559 I just think you take the guy that can absolutely 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.680 cover all and check all those boxes we talk about 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.120 all the time, and then now worry about things at 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:13.760 the top of the second round, the top of the 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.319 third round, and then work your draft from there. 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.439 So does that approach where I know in the past 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:20.400 we've wanted. 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.839 Quarterbacks to go early. Every quarterback possible. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.200 Go in the top ten picks, the top eleven picks, 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.200 or whatever it is leading into the Cowboys. Does that 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.959 BPA mindset of we don't want to risk it in 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.880 the top ten top eleven. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.480 Picks help or hurt the Cowboys? I think if anything, 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.520 it probably hurts them. Yeah, it definitely hurts because what 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.360 you're going to have to do is now you're trying 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.760 to kind of figure out, you know, the other teams 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.400 if they're taking their best players off their board, that's 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.040 going to hurt you for where you're going to as well, 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.520 because you're all looking at the same players. But you 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.240 know you're going to be you're going to be on 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.760 the very edge of your window potentially of a first 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.520 round grade on your board. Not to say that taking 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.880 it players sixteen on your border seventeen is a bad thing, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.640 but you would like ultimately to try and navigate this 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.439 thing where you take somebody out of your first round stack. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:11.520 Have you done a mock draft yet? 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:11.800 Nick? 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:12.199 No? 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.040 No, no, no, not this early on. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:14.320 No. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.400 I try to stay away until after combine. 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.080 Okay, has anybody done one yet? Looking at just where 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:21.800 it's gonna end up? I don't vatch you do a 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:22.560 couple on the YouTube. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.160 I do that. Mock drafts are goofy. I hate them. 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.760 And if you know everybody's not gonna they just oh, 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.600 they'll never take a dual carter second over, you'll know 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.960 what you're talking about. Like, people hate mock drafts, but 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:35.800 they love to look at them, but they hate you 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:36.320 for picking. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:37.560 Nobody knows what. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.320 How many are in your mentions right now. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.240 I don't even count them because they're not gonna upset 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.800 my soul. But we do look at other people do 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.560 mocks and sure, sure, and that's why we kind of 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.560 have a feeling that, Okay, well Carter may be the first, 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.560 you know, nun Travis Hunter got to go, oh well, 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.800 Mason Graham is always righting at Jacksonville Range. You know 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.240 Campbell from LSU, he's he's always a bear, and this 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.280 ind three jet or always one of those guys, right, Yeah, 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.760 So I think the mock drafts are what they are 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.200 right now. I think Senior Bowling combine is going to happen. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:09.800 I think it's going to shake it up one more time. 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.120 But I think the top twelve or so guys I 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.400 want to say, is locked in. But I think people 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.640 are going to poke some more holes in some of these. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:18.400 Edges up there. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.720 You know, yeah, Mike, I've been seeing him a lot 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.360 in these top tensers, so I think they're going to 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.040 keep poke some holes in him. He may end up 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.080 out of their top twelve so conversation, But for the 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.480 most part, I think the top five or seven is 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:30.160 going to be the same. 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.960 What do you feel like the safest bet is for 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:34.880 Dallas to have their available at twelve. 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.960 It's a good question. I feel like GENTI will be there. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.200 You think so, I think so? 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:42.760 Okay. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.720 Any reason, yeah, any reason the Bears would take him 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:47.600 with the new head coach that they have, the fact 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.240 that they the way that they draft or the way 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.640 they signed running backs, the way they use running backs, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.360 they got a block for they Well, I'll tell you 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.800 one thing though, if you've ever watched Barry Sanders play 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.560 football or Walter Payton, they need they you know what 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.760 they blocking. Like I say to me, when you take 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.400 a guy like Ashton Genty, say here and Dallas's offensive 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.400 line I think has got some promise. It's not anywhere 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.200 where it needs to be like what you have in 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.920 Philadelphia's some of these other teams that run the ball 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:19.840 really really well. I think the back, a back that 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.880 can make people miss, I think is really really important 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.000 because Ashton Genty will allow you to be able to 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.040 run the ball as you're developing your offensive line. And 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.400 so that's why when people say you can't take it 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.520 back in the first round, Well, if you have if 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.480 you have an offensive line that isn't great. A great 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.160 back will make a bad offensive line or a poor 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.080 offensive line better. What do you think now, I'm with you. 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.040 I think I completely agree, and that's why I think 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.560 he you know, he could be there for Dallas. I 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.800 just think the Bears. They just signed DeAndre Swift last office, 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.560 sure drafted Roston Johnson a couple of years ago. I 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.400 think they like what he's done for them so far, 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.200 use them a little bit more towards the end of 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.880 the season. Caleb Williams got sacked eight times last year. 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.840 No question, they really need help on the offensive line. 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.959 So I think that's kind of the direction that they 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:06.359 would lean. 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.680 Yeah, no, I you know, I yeah, I understand to 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:11.800 think about the line and all that stuff. But you 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.480
