1
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back guy. This Williams and we are live from

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: the Hall of Honor Museum here at Akershore Stadium, and

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: of course, uh, you know, there are historic archives you're

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: met collected from ninety years of Steelers football and the

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: fans can view each of the six championship rings, artifacts

6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: and game warm jerseys, uh and uniforms from some of

7
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: the greatest players in Steelers history. Which pretty good group.

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good group. Yeah, and some of you guys,

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: you know yourself. Mike Pursuita mentioned earlier, you're really gonna

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: like this. I mean it's really well done. And so

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: my expectations were high. They exceeded them. I mean again,

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: that's the size of the place, all the stuff in it,

13
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: the way it's laid out. You gotta check it out

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: because I had heard the size matter to you. And

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: when we start looking at the draft here there we go.

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Size does matter. And we have a new draft here

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. This one done by Chad Reuter.

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: He did a three round mock. God bless him. Let's go.

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah it is, but we'll go through this and run

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: through the first round here. So he has the Chicago

21
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: Bears making a projected trade with the Houston Texans for

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: the number one pick and taking Bryce Young. He then

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: has the Colts making a trade, the Bears being active here,

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: that Bears trading back again. The Colts coming up to

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: get c. J. Stroud at the number two would be awesome.

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: If you're the Bears, you can move the forward. You're

27
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna still get Anderson or Carter. You've taken it one

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: and you've got all kinds of other stuff and two deals.

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: He then has the Cardinals taking Jalen Carter, the Bears

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: taking Will Anderson. Okay, the Bears get Will Anderson and

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: extra stuff. Now you're talking now happy the Carolina Panthers

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: and moving up the five with the trade with the

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks to take Will love us. I can see

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: these things happening. I mean, I've done a little bit

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: of quarterback research. I have a lot of questions about

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: all four of those top guys, including Richardson, but I

37
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: think they're to go really high. Quarterbacks go yeah, I

38
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: think high. But they'll all be long gone when the

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Steelers pick, which is exactly what they want. At six,

40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: the Lions take Christian Gonzalez. I think he's gonna be

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: long gone too by seventeen. At seven, the Raiders take

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: Paris Johnson. Okay, makes sense it eight, the Falcons in

43
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: take Miles Murphy. I say, best defensive player available, whoever

44
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: that is. At nine, the Seahawks take Tyree Wilson. Okay,

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: A lot of people project them to get him at six,

46
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: so that must have met a trade here, huh yeah.

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: At ten the Eagles, he has them taking Jean Robinson.

48
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: That's really fascinating to me, because like they're the best

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: running team in the league and if you give them

50
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: an elite running back prospect, wow. But it's not what

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: they do at all. Not what they do. But Miles

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: Sanders a free agent. Miles Sanders was a second round

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: draft picker. He was. It's not like they have an

54
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: extra pick. At eleven, little shocker here, the Tennessee Titans

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: take Dalton Kinkaide, the tight end out of Utah. I

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: can't see that one. I think Chick is a guy.

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I think Chick is a guy too. Yeah, and they

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: have so many needs. I can't see that. I think

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: Chick is a fine. At twelve, the Houston Texans take

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: Elijah can See, defensive tackle at a pit. He's a

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: guy you're starting to see bump hire and higher and higher. Um,

62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: he's in a lot of first round marks. Now. At thirteen,

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: he has the New York Jets taking Anthony Richardson, the

64
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: quarterback out of Florida. Wow, that's startling, I mean, because

65
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: you just used the second overall pick gun Zack Wilson.

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: He's implying they're not gonna get car Jimmy Rogers, whomever

67
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: this this pick may be used on a quarterback. It

68
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: just might not be right right, might be green Baby,

69
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback. Um, so we'll see. At fourteen, he

70
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: has the Patriots taking Rodrick Jones. Totally understandable when is

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: a free agent and they could use help. At fifteen,

72
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers take Dejection Smith and Jigba. Again,

73
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: not what they do at all. I mean, in the

74
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: last twelve years, the only first round pick they've used

75
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: on offense, let alone a receiver is Love. This is

76
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: setting up for the Steelers to take you know who,

77
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: actually who is taking. I don't see them taking the

78
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: guy that he has them taking, either, but that's here,

79
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: here and there. At sixteen, the Washington Commanders take Pete Scronsky.

80
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: I bet they'd be very happy with him. They listen.

81
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: He listened as a guard, which makes sense. Yeah, you

82
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: could do something for them. It's seventeen. He has the

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers taking Lucas van Nesse, the edge rusher from Iowa.

84
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: They have his height and weight there. I think he's

85
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: like to seventy five. He might be a little big.

86
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's even wrong, because I mean Bud

87
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: was a big five. I mean, I wouldn't think you'd

88
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: draft him trying to turn him in the Aaron Smith

89
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: move like. I don't think you try to do that

90
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: with him. Um. I think he'd leave him on his

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: feet in a Bud the pre move. But he'd still

92
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: be your three. I mean, you could get all three

93
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: of those guys on the field in packages, of course,

94
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: but I don't know about that. He's a test well.

95
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: He is uh eighteen. He has the Lines taking Michael

96
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: Mayor the tight end out of Notre Dame. It seems

97
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: to be be pretty popular in this scenario. This sence that

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: this draft scenario that just happened here, I would have

99
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers taking the guy he takes at nineteen for

100
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers corner cornerback safety Brian Branch out

101
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: of Obama. So you're saying you would take Branch ahead

102
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: of Porter any court true or false, you'd take Branch

103
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: over any pure corner not named Gonzales. Okay, I haven't

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: thought of that angle, but I'm not disagreeing with you.

105
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: I think he's that good. Yeah, I mean he can't

106
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: line up and do Porter Witherspoons. Uh yeah, Witherspoon, the

107
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: Illinois guy that he might be my starting slot tomorrow.

108
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: I think he's better at what he does than those guys.

109
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: And he can also drop back, can play safety. It

110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: gives you a lot of flexibility. Oh, it sure does.

111
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: He's a good player. At twenty that he has the

112
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: Bills taking Jordan Addison. They need more trade up with

113
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks to do that. Is that first receiver

114
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: off the board. Yes, yes, okay, the bad receiver class dude,

115
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: just like free agency. At twenty one, he is the

116
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Chargers taking Joey Porter Jr. They could use them, I

117
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: mean opposite JC Jackson, who is a disaster for them too.

118
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: At twenty two, the Giants trade up with the Ravens

119
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: and take Devin Witherspoon understandable. I mean they leave their

120
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: corners and man coverage and play a lot of defensive

121
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: backs and they're weak there. Twenty three he has the

122
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: Vikings taking key On White out of Georgia Tech. Okay, yeah,

123
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: he's not test really well too. At twenty four, he

124
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: has the Jaguars taking Cam Smith. I didn't have a

125
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: fit for the Jags when I did, but that's it's

126
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: not a bad on right, can't played well for the

127
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: projected him to take. I think van Neesse actually did. Actually,

128
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: don't take a tight I took Washington. It's twenty five.

129
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: The Ravens with that draft pick take Jalen Hyatt. That

130
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: would make some sense. I mean I always had mixed

131
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: feelings about Marquis Brown there because they don't block anybody,

132
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: but that speed, yeah, I mean just the thought processes. Okay,

133
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: doesn't block anybody, but he makes room for my run

134
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: game with his speed because people have chants to play off,

135
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: you know. At twenty six, the Cowboys take Trent and Simpson,

136
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: the linebacker out of Clemson. Simpson Simpson. Yeah, Van van

137
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: h vander Esh is up at he has the Seahawks

138
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: who traded down here. Taking Osiris Torrance. That would make

139
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: perfect sounds. He took two tackles and he's a plug

140
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: and play type of dude. The Bengals take Cody much

141
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: the North Dakota State. I could see that interior. They

142
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: could go a lot of directions safety, tight end, running back.

143
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean they could be out of there, both their

144
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: running backs anywhere on the old line. So there there.

145
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: It's a critical off season for since it is. At

146
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: twenty nine, he has the Saints taking Tally to Apollo too. Okay, yeah,

147
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: I guess he's their their style. That's a little early

148
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: for me from uh. At thirty he has the Eagles

149
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: taking they I'll remember they already took Jean Robinson Ronnie Hickman,

150
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: the safety out of Ohio State. That's by far the

151
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: highest I've seen him go. Yeah, but they have safeties up.

152
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: You know, at'd be shocked if one of their two

153
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: first rounders isn't a big person. Just history shows. Thirty one,

154
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: the Bears take and then projected trade with the Chiefs.

155
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: How did that happen? Oh, they must have traded up trading.

156
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: I was taking those two Bear trades at the top

157
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: of the draft. But that wouldn't even include the Chiefs.

158
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: They take Rashi Rice, the wide receiver out of s

159
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: m U. So that's ahead of like Johnston Hyatt. Johnston

160
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: didn't go right right, right, Addison, I think the only

161
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: receiver you mentioned that brings us to round two and

162
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: he has at thirty two. The Steelers taking Eka the

163
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: defensive tackle out of Baylor. I don't think he's ever

164
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: ended up as a Steeler in our mocks. But he's

165
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: a big, powerful dude that you can move. I mean,

166
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he would fit in very well. I'm just

167
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: looking here. The Cardinals get Daiwan Jones, the offense, big

168
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: offensive tackle out of Ohio State. Understandable. The chief Sent

169
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: take Darnell Right the other offensive tackle, another massive offensive

170
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: tackle at a Tennessee wouldn't shock me if you one

171
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: of those guys ends up in the first round. Yeah,

172
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: that's who they get with by trading down that bonus problems. Right,

173
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: So there's their left tackle. Is he doing that just

174
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: because he's a big left he's a big tackle when

175
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: you can you know, I guess uh. Nolan Smith goes

176
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: to the Rams, Okay, they might have the draft a

177
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: line Darnell Washington to the Panthers. A couple of good

178
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: tight ends left. The Browns take Mazie Smith. He worries me,

179
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: maybe I just watched the wrong games because it was

180
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: the Saturdays that were on because and I knew he

181
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: was on list. But it didn't make a lot of plays,

182
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: and that just seems like a Michigan thing. Yeah, I

183
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: mean there are these super freak athletes that don't make

184
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: a ton of plays, like Shawn Gary uh the At

185
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: forty six, the New England Patriots get Quentin Johnston. That

186
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: would be helpful. So they got a left tackle and

187
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: a big receiver that could be their number one that

188
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: would help. At forty seven, the Commander's got Emmanuel Forbes.

189
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: That makes sense to Yeah, they're they're short corner. The

190
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: Steelers pick at forty nine Anton Harrison. I would take

191
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: that right now, the offensive tackle from Yeah, yeah, I

192
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: would trade you the forty nine pick for him, right.

193
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: I still don't like the fact that you haven't drafted

194
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: a corner yet, right, but fair enough. I mean that's

195
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: a value there, especially when Clark Phillips goes from the

196
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: next pick. Yeah, um, just looking at your Hendon Hooker

197
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: goes to the Seahawks. I think he's gonna go. Are

198
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: the people think too? I know he's old and he's hurt,

199
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: but he could play ten years. Yeah, you know, Seattle

200
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: is a perfect platform. Resigned Gino at fifty four. He

201
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: has the Chargers taking Brian Brecy. I have no idea

202
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: where he's gonna go. His combine is going to be

203
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: so important, medicals in particular. I look at the medicals though. Okay,

204
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: so two years ago is an a c L that

205
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: doesn't bother right, I'm sure he's over that. This past

206
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 1: season he's still He played in ten games before the

207
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: kidney issue cropped up. Yeah, is the kidney issue gonna

208
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 1: be that so bad that he never plays? He's he

209
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: doesn't live because three years ago he was the best

210
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: player on clempses defense, right right, five star, He was

211
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: the best recruiting the country. His tapes very good. You know, Yeah,

212
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, I hate commenting on injuries,

213
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: but especially ones like kidneys and livers and hearts, and

214
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I have no idea. Just

215
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm guessing here. But if the Steelers took him at seventeen,

216
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blink an eye, but maybe they could give

217
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: a forty seven you know what I mean? Yeah, if

218
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: you passed on him there, I'd be like, right, you know,

219
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: for him to go at fifty four means that something

220
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: did happen, something was bad, absolutely or they think. And

221
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: usually the case with those type of things are he

222
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: could have a short career because he's young. Because he's young,

223
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a true, true junior. I have no

224
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: idea where to mock him. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. Um,

225
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: so that that's gonna be one that's gonna be interesting

226
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: to watch here coming out of Uh. I mean, I'm

227
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: you didn't see many mock drafts a month ago or

228
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: six weeks ago, but if you did, he was always

229
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: a top twenty pig. Yeah. Yeah. The Bengals take Deante

230
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: Banks to Maryland cornerback their corner situations not wonderful. Uh

231
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: Kayleie Ringo goes to the Eagles. That's really worth it there?

232
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: Uh Going moving on to round three, Let's see what

233
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: what crops up here. UM know, third round is gonna

234
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: be a pretty quality player too, I would think so.

235
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: Um this neighborhood of the draft, to me, isn't that

236
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: much different? Than all that much. I mean, you know,

237
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: the first pick of the round three is Byron Young,

238
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle out of Alabama and a nice player.

239
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: Felix in duque Isoma out of r K Steak. Cedric

240
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: Tillman goes the third um just looking here. Drew Sanders

241
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: goes at sixty the last long Yeah, that's hard to believe.

242
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: Derek Call goes at seventy. There's no way he knows.

243
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: Uh ty. Jay Spears was at seventy one to the Saints.

244
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Second back. I mean you even named every one, and

245
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: he's like the fourth back, the Bama guy, but I

246
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: think he could be the third or fourth back. It's

247
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: a good running back class too. I really like the

248
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: free agents we talked about last segment and this draft class.

249
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: We're running back. The Bears take Luke Whilper, the Ohio

250
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: State Center, the center. Um Riley Moss goes to the

251
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: Patriots at seventy six. I'm sure John Michael Schmitt is

252
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: long gone and we just didn't touch on him. But

253
00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: his yea, this is this to me. Okay, So at

254
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: eighty he has the Steelers taking Rashawn Johnson, running back

255
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: out of Texas. I love the player, but makes no

256
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: sense right right now. I'm a big fan. I like

257
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: him a lot, but why would you use a third

258
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: round draft pick when you have two running backs that

259
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: you really like? So I'm not picking on NFL dot

260
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: com people, but m j D put out his top

261
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: seventy five running backs or whatever it was, might even

262
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: be a hundred. Warren wasn't even on the list. Like

263
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: I know, he's undrafted, but he's the number two, a

264
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: clear number two. You know did good thing, and he

265
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: did good things and there's plenty of tape to evaluate.

266
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: You may not know what he looks like if he

267
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: walks past you, if you're a national dude or no

268
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: his background, but you have to recognize the analysis stuff. Right,

269
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: He's a two, I mean a clear two. He's probably,

270
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: if you're being hard on him, sixtieth and he was

271
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: like Boston Scott right right exactly, or some of these

272
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: old dudes that last forever that I never Hilaire. He

273
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: was a healthy scratch two days ago in the Super Bowl. Yeah,

274
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't make any sense. I'm just looking here, who

275
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: would I pick given this? Carl Brooks got two. He's

276
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: a lot different than the Baylor knows that they are

277
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: already taken. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there's a corner

278
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: or two that wouldn't be you know, wouldn't turn your

279
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: nose up either. Blake Freeland goes to the Dolphins, the

280
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: offensive tackle for you, Isaiah Fosky was still available. He

281
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: goes to the Ravens. He's a second rounder. Yeah, cay

282
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: you blue Kelly, No, I would take Kelly there. Yeah. Yeah.

283
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Joe Tipman was still available. Wow, some people think he's

284
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: still the number one center. Yeah, um, there are lots

285
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: of guys. Kanu Benton was still available. So the running

286
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: back pick aside, which wouldn't happen, and we wouldn't do

287
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: it either either way. You just listed five good names. Yes,

288
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: and it's easy to sit here and say, oh, they

289
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't still be there. But one mit one mite, you

290
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like that third pick, third rounder,

291
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: the fourth healer pick. It could be better than people

292
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: think in this particular draft. Yeah, they too, is a

293
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: quality spot to be picking after. He also did the

294
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: comp pics here, he's done the projected compics. So he's

295
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: got Washington with a compic, Cleveland with the third round

296
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: com pick. I'd have to think about what they lost.

297
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: But taking Michael Wilson, there's Michael of the receiver, the receiver,

298
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: and I like Michael. He has the forty Niners with

299
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: a comp pic. They're they have a bunch of the

300
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: Ravens with a compic. That'd be the Ravens. By the way,

301
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: that's the Niners first pick. They have none in the

302
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: top ninety nine. They have three. Yeah, it's amazing how

303
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: they've done work that up. Uh they can? Uh Yeah,

304
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: So that's those are the compics. So the Ravens are

305
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens have one, the forty Niners with three. Uh.

306
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: I think it's like a FOURDN conclusion that Cleveland. I

307
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: think the Niners get three no matter what because because

308
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: the coaches stuff. I think that's like setting stone. Yeah,

309
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: and no, folks of Steelers do not get a compensatory

310
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: pick for Brian Flores leave because he needs to be

311
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: or two years instead of one. The two years old.

312
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: But what the Nighters have done is ridiculous. I mean,

313
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: they've traded so many picks to go get Lance and

314
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: McCaffrey that they don't pick forever. But they continually get

315
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: people poached from their organization that yield them compis, which

316
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: is tremendous. Yeah. Well but you're losing people. You're losing people,

317
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean left and right. Um, that's a and they're

318
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: gonna lose. They're gonna get more for Damiko Ryan's that's

319
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: next year's grab, that's next year's Yeah. And that's why

320
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: I get it. And that's why people will talk about

321
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: the coaching trees and all that stuff. Sometimes I think

322
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: that gets overrated a little bit. You know. The thing

323
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: with the one that kills me is the Ravens getting

324
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: a compic for a guy who is no longer the

325
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: head coach of the team that hired him away in

326
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I didn't think where that Ravens didn't didn't

327
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: develop David Culley David Kelly coach thirty years in the league,

328
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: and the Ravens happened to hire him. And the Texans

329
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: were stupid enough to not stupid enough because he's a

330
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: good coach. Yeah yeah, but no one he was going

331
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: to be the head guy, you know. I mean that

332
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: was a shocker at the time too. An they kept

333
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: them around for one year and they get to draft.

334
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: They get two third round draft picks for it nothing, Yeah,

335
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: I know, for really not anything that they did, so

336
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: swell right, right, right right. I mean there's flaws in

337
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: the system, of course, Yeah, yeah, it's flaws in any

338
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: system like that. One just drives me a little nuts.

339
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you, I don't I don't love

340
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: this draft for the Steelers. But if we could pick

341
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: who we wanted looking at the board, you know, if

342
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: we would have made the picks. Not not because I'm

343
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: cheating and I know what's gonna be there in the

344
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: third round, but like, if here's the first sixteen picks,

345
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: who do you want? Okay, we took you know, the

346
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: we took Branch, and then thirty two rules around and

347
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: maybe we would take like or one of the corners.

348
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we would have got four really quality picks there,

349
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: and we wouldn't take a running The great thing about

350
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: Branches that you can play him a corner, you can

351
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: play safety. I mean, I made no bones that Dax

352
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: Hill was one of my favorite players of Drive last

353
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: year for those reasons, right right right. I mean, and

354
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: again Ravens come to town Docks. You have Mark Andrews,

355
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: and I think Branches. Branch is a better prospect to

356
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: me than I think I think he has more versatility.

357
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't feel test as well as he'll he'll test

358
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: it really really well, and he's over six foot but

359
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: more productive players. I think Branch is a better football player, yeah,

360
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 1: without that, and I mean a leader on that Alabama defense.

361
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Saban is known for secondary to the secondary,

362
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: says baby, and he always has one guy. It was

363
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: Mica one, it was his turn, and this is Branch,

364
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: who's really the quarterback of the offense. You know that,

365
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to light No, he's similar. He's very

366
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: similarly similar as prospects, you know, coming out of Obama

367
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: at the same age. Right, Micky got drafted higher than

368
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: he probably will. But who knows. If he goes and

369
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: runs a four four flat, you can see him at

370
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: seven eight, you know, in that neighborhood soap he runs

371
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: a four five and so he's available. I know he's

372
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: your new crush, and I understand it. Yeah, I just

373
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: I think the things that you could do with him

374
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: to a chess piece, and if you take him, you

375
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: still could take a corner a thirty two, and he

376
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: still probably should yeah, because you do need a safety

377
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: and you know, so I mean again, flexibility in the

378
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 1: back end, of this year, the Steelers didn't have they

379
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: didn't have to play a lot of different offensive linemen.

380
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: They did have to play a lot of corners and safety.

381
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: So right, guys like Pierre, to me, you're valuable and

382
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: got more valuable over the last year than I thought

383
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: they'd be. You know, absolutely, But Matt, that's going to

384
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: do it on our special show here live from the

390
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: right away. But uh, I've enjoyed this. It's fun. Gives

391
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: still somewhere different to do a show. And of course

392
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 1: two weeks from today we'll be doing shows in a

393
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: completely different setting because we'll be in Indiana. That's one

394
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: of the best weeks of the year. And to see

395
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: in the whole NFL community our shows from from Indie,

396
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we get the best guests in the NFL.

397
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, humongous ones. Yeah, and then we'll do it again.

398
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: They're just knocking at the door to come on there,

399
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: they line up, they're like, Hey, do we get to

400
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: go on your show next? I guess we'll let you. Yeah,

401
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: we'll probably. We probably squeeze you in. That's the way

402
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: that works, because Matthew Berry, we've had great ones. But yeah,

403
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for our show today. So for
