WEBVTT - Segment 3: Mock Drafts 0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:10.080 Welcome back guy. This Williams and we are live from 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:14.640 the Hall of Honor Museum here at Akershore Stadium, and 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.599 of course, uh, you know, there are historic archives you're 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:21.119 met collected from ninety years of Steelers football and the 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.200 fans can view each of the six championship rings, artifacts 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.400 and game warm jerseys, uh and uniforms from some of 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.440 the greatest players in Steelers history. Which pretty good group. 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.800 It's a pretty good group. Yeah, and some of you guys, 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.880 you know yourself. Mike Pursuita mentioned earlier, you're really gonna 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:39.839 like this. I mean it's really well done. And so 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.160 my expectations were high. They exceeded them. I mean again, 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.159 that's the size of the place, all the stuff in it, 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:46.919 the way it's laid out. You gotta check it out 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.040 because I had heard the size matter to you. And 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.120 when we start looking at the draft here there we go. 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.000 Size does matter. And we have a new draft here 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.240 on NFL dot Com. This one done by Chad Reuter. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.120 He did a three round mock. God bless him. Let's go. 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.440 Yeah it is, but we'll go through this and run 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.920 through the first round here. So he has the Chicago 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.760 Bears making a projected trade with the Houston Texans for 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:15.160 the number one pick and taking Bryce Young. He then 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.319 has the Colts making a trade, the Bears being active here, 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.040 that Bears trading back again. The Colts coming up to 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.520 get c. J. Stroud at the number two would be awesome. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.480 If you're the Bears, you can move the forward. You're 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.640 gonna still get Anderson or Carter. You've taken it one 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.880 and you've got all kinds of other stuff and two deals. 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:34.440 He then has the Cardinals taking Jalen Carter, the Bears 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.600 taking Will Anderson. Okay, the Bears get Will Anderson and 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.039 extra stuff. Now you're talking now happy the Carolina Panthers 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.240 and moving up the five with the trade with the 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.600 Seattle Seahawks to take Will love us. I can see 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.720 these things happening. I mean, I've done a little bit 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.400 of quarterback research. I have a lot of questions about 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:55.800 all four of those top guys, including Richardson, but I 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.480 think they're to go really high. Quarterbacks go yeah, I 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.160 think high. But they'll all be long gone when the 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.360 Steelers pick, which is exactly what they want. At six, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.560 the Lions take Christian Gonzalez. I think he's gonna be 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.239 long gone too by seventeen. At seven, the Raiders take 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.919 Paris Johnson. Okay, makes sense it eight, the Falcons in 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.760 take Miles Murphy. I say, best defensive player available, whoever 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:23.280 that is. At nine, the Seahawks take Tyree Wilson. Okay, 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.640 A lot of people project them to get him at six, 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.000 so that must have met a trade here, huh yeah. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.280 At ten the Eagles, he has them taking Jean Robinson. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.520 That's really fascinating to me, because like they're the best 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.240 running team in the league and if you give them 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.760 an elite running back prospect, wow. But it's not what 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.040 they do at all. Not what they do. But Miles 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.399 Sanders a free agent. Miles Sanders was a second round 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.960 draft picker. He was. It's not like they have an 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:56.000 extra pick. At eleven, little shocker here, the Tennessee Titans 0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.920 take Dalton Kinkaide, the tight end out of Utah. I 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.520 can't see that one. I think Chick is a guy. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.160 I think Chick is a guy too. Yeah, and they 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.400 have so many needs. I can't see that. I think 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.600 Chick is a fine. At twelve, the Houston Texans take 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.360 Elijah can See, defensive tackle at a pit. He's a 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.160 guy you're starting to see bump hire and higher and higher. Um, 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.400 he's in a lot of first round marks. Now. At thirteen, 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:29.200 he has the New York Jets taking Anthony Richardson, the 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:35.360 quarterback out of Florida. Wow, that's startling, I mean, because 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.560 you just used the second overall pick gun Zack Wilson. 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.720 He's implying they're not gonna get car Jimmy Rogers, whomever 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.560 this this pick may be used on a quarterback. It 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.800 just might not be right right, might be green Baby, 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:52.080 a veteran quarterback. Um, so we'll see. At fourteen, he 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:56.280 has the Patriots taking Rodrick Jones. Totally understandable when is 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.960 a free agent and they could use help. At fifteen, 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.640 the Green Bay Packers take Dejection Smith and Jigba. Again, 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.680 not what they do at all. I mean, in the 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.760 last twelve years, the only first round pick they've used 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.480 on offense, let alone a receiver is Love. This is 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.520 setting up for the Steelers to take you know who, 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.240 actually who is taking. I don't see them taking the 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.120 guy that he has them taking, either, but that's here, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:25.280 here and there. At sixteen, the Washington Commanders take Pete Scronsky. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.520 I bet they'd be very happy with him. They listen. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.760 He listened as a guard, which makes sense. Yeah, you 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.960 could do something for them. It's seventeen. He has the 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:38.599 Pittsburgh Steelers taking Lucas van Nesse, the edge rusher from Iowa. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.080 They have his height and weight there. I think he's 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.400 like to seventy five. He might be a little big. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.840 I'm not saying that's even wrong, because I mean Bud 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:51.120 was a big five. I mean, I wouldn't think you'd 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.880 draft him trying to turn him in the Aaron Smith 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.760 move like. I don't think you try to do that 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.719 with him. Um. I think he'd leave him on his 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.920 feet in a Bud the pre move. But he'd still 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.240 be your three. I mean, you could get all three 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.839 of those guys on the field in packages, of course, 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.440 but I don't know about that. He's a test well. 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.640 He is uh eighteen. He has the Lines taking Michael 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.839 Mayor the tight end out of Notre Dame. It seems 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.920 to be be pretty popular in this scenario. This sence that 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.000 this draft scenario that just happened here, I would have 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.560 the Steelers taking the guy he takes at nineteen for 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:30.719 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers corner cornerback safety Brian Branch out 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.279 of Obama. So you're saying you would take Branch ahead 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.200 of Porter any court true or false, you'd take Branch 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:43.200 over any pure corner not named Gonzales. Okay, I haven't 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.120 thought of that angle, but I'm not disagreeing with you. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.760 I think he's that good. Yeah, I mean he can't 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:52.720 line up and do Porter Witherspoons. Uh yeah, Witherspoon, the 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.360 Illinois guy that he might be my starting slot tomorrow. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.039 I think he's better at what he does than those guys. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.920 And he can also drop back, can play safety. It 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.080 gives you a lot of flexibility. Oh, it sure does. 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:07.640 He's a good player. At twenty that he has the 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:11.040 Bills taking Jordan Addison. They need more trade up with 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.040 the Seattle Seahawks to do that. Is that first receiver 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.960 off the board. Yes, yes, okay, the bad receiver class dude, 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.120 just like free agency. At twenty one, he is the 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.520 Chargers taking Joey Porter Jr. They could use them, I 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.680 mean opposite JC Jackson, who is a disaster for them too. 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:31.960 At twenty two, the Giants trade up with the Ravens 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:36.760 and take Devin Witherspoon understandable. I mean they leave their 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.359 corners and man coverage and play a lot of defensive 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.880 backs and they're weak there. Twenty three he has the 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:48.600 Vikings taking key On White out of Georgia Tech. Okay, yeah, 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.640 he's not test really well too. At twenty four, he 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.000 has the Jaguars taking Cam Smith. I didn't have a 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.640 fit for the Jags when I did, but that's it's 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.360 not a bad on right, can't played well for the 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.239 projected him to take. I think van Neesse actually did. Actually, 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.719 don't take a tight I took Washington. It's twenty five. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.640 The Ravens with that draft pick take Jalen Hyatt. That 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.320 would make some sense. I mean I always had mixed 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.600 feelings about Marquis Brown there because they don't block anybody, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:23.120 but that speed, yeah, I mean just the thought processes. Okay, 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.120 doesn't block anybody, but he makes room for my run 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.520 game with his speed because people have chants to play off, 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.040 you know. At twenty six, the Cowboys take Trent and Simpson, 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:36.080 the linebacker out of Clemson. Simpson Simpson. Yeah, Van van 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.360 h vander Esh is up at he has the Seahawks 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.160 who traded down here. Taking Osiris Torrance. That would make 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:48.520 perfect sounds. He took two tackles and he's a plug 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.760 and play type of dude. The Bengals take Cody much 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:57.040 the North Dakota State. I could see that interior. They 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:01.760 could go a lot of directions safety, tight end, running back. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.440 I mean they could be out of there, both their 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.600 running backs anywhere on the old line. So there there. 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.000 It's a critical off season for since it is. At 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:16.680 twenty nine, he has the Saints taking Tally to Apollo too. Okay, yeah, 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.320 I guess he's their their style. That's a little early 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:23.800 for me from uh. At thirty he has the Eagles 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.040 taking they I'll remember they already took Jean Robinson Ronnie Hickman, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.080 the safety out of Ohio State. That's by far the 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.839 highest I've seen him go. Yeah, but they have safeties up. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.360 You know, at'd be shocked if one of their two 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:39.319 first rounders isn't a big person. Just history shows. Thirty one, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.680 the Bears take and then projected trade with the Chiefs. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.400 How did that happen? Oh, they must have traded up trading. 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.640 I was taking those two Bear trades at the top 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.480 of the draft. But that wouldn't even include the Chiefs. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.679 They take Rashi Rice, the wide receiver out of s 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.360 m U. So that's ahead of like Johnston Hyatt. Johnston 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.920 didn't go right right, right, Addison, I think the only 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.440 receiver you mentioned that brings us to round two and 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.840 he has at thirty two. The Steelers taking Eka the 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.319 defensive tackle out of Baylor. I don't think he's ever 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.680 ended up as a Steeler in our mocks. But he's 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.760 a big, powerful dude that you can move. I mean, 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.400 he's yeah, he would fit in very well. I'm just 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.360 looking here. The Cardinals get Daiwan Jones, the offense, big 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.439 offensive tackle out of Ohio State. Understandable. The chief Sent 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:32.160 take Darnell Right the other offensive tackle, another massive offensive 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.960 tackle at a Tennessee wouldn't shock me if you one 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.559 of those guys ends up in the first round. Yeah, 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.720 that's who they get with by trading down that bonus problems. Right, 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.960 So there's their left tackle. Is he doing that just 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.079 because he's a big left he's a big tackle when 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:48.360 you can you know, I guess uh. Nolan Smith goes 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.800 to the Rams, Okay, they might have the draft a 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.839 line Darnell Washington to the Panthers. A couple of good 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:59.880 tight ends left. The Browns take Mazie Smith. He worries me, 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.960 maybe I just watched the wrong games because it was 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.080 the Saturdays that were on because and I knew he 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.160 was on list. But it didn't make a lot of plays, 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.960 and that just seems like a Michigan thing. Yeah, I 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.000 mean there are these super freak athletes that don't make 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.080 a ton of plays, like Shawn Gary uh the At 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:19.880 forty six, the New England Patriots get Quentin Johnston. That 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.640 would be helpful. So they got a left tackle and 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.160 a big receiver that could be their number one that 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.240 would help. At forty seven, the Commander's got Emmanuel Forbes. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.960 That makes sense to Yeah, they're they're short corner. The 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:39.800 Steelers pick at forty nine Anton Harrison. I would take 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.240 that right now, the offensive tackle from Yeah, yeah, I 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.040 would trade you the forty nine pick for him, right. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.600 I still don't like the fact that you haven't drafted 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.199 a corner yet, right, but fair enough. I mean that's 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.959 a value there, especially when Clark Phillips goes from the 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:58.000 next pick. Yeah, um, just looking at your Hendon Hooker 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.160 goes to the Seahawks. I think he's gonna go. Are 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.120 the people think too? I know he's old and he's hurt, 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:06.360 but he could play ten years. Yeah, you know, Seattle 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.920 is a perfect platform. Resigned Gino at fifty four. He 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.240 has the Chargers taking Brian Brecy. I have no idea 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.480 where he's gonna go. His combine is going to be 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:21.080 so important, medicals in particular. I look at the medicals though. Okay, 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.120 so two years ago is an a c L that 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.520 doesn't bother right, I'm sure he's over that. This past 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.599 season he's still He played in ten games before the 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:33.400 kidney issue cropped up. Yeah, is the kidney issue gonna 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.719 be that so bad that he never plays? He's he 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.920 doesn't live because three years ago he was the best 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.640 player on clempses defense, right right, five star, He was 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.440 the best recruiting the country. His tapes very good. You know, Yeah, 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.720 I have no idea. I mean, I hate commenting on injuries, 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.200 but especially ones like kidneys and livers and hearts, and 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.160 you know, I don't know. I have no idea. Just 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.440 I'm guessing here. But if the Steelers took him at seventeen, 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.960 I wouldn't blink an eye, but maybe they could give 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.199 a forty seven you know what I mean? Yeah, if 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.760 you passed on him there, I'd be like, right, you know, 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.200 for him to go at fifty four means that something 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.800 did happen, something was bad, absolutely or they think. And 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.360 usually the case with those type of things are he 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.240 could have a short career because he's young. Because he's young, 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.719 I mean, he's a true, true junior. I have no 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.960 idea where to mock him. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. Um, 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:22.720 so that that's gonna be one that's gonna be interesting 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.240 to watch here coming out of Uh. I mean, I'm 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.719 you didn't see many mock drafts a month ago or 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.560 six weeks ago, but if you did, he was always 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.120 a top twenty pig. Yeah. Yeah. The Bengals take Deante 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:38.800 Banks to Maryland cornerback their corner situations not wonderful. Uh 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.280 Kayleie Ringo goes to the Eagles. That's really worth it there? 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.760 Uh Going moving on to round three, Let's see what 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.560 what crops up here. UM know, third round is gonna 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.600 be a pretty quality player too, I would think so. 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.720 Um this neighborhood of the draft, to me, isn't that 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.400 much different? Than all that much. I mean, you know, 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.679 the first pick of the round three is Byron Young, 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.800 the defensive tackle out of Alabama and a nice player. 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:11.319 Felix in duque Isoma out of r K Steak. Cedric 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.400 Tillman goes the third um just looking here. Drew Sanders 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.760 goes at sixty the last long Yeah, that's hard to believe. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.320 Derek Call goes at seventy. There's no way he knows. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.960 Uh ty. Jay Spears was at seventy one to the Saints. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.880 Second back. I mean you even named every one, and 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.959 he's like the fourth back, the Bama guy, but I 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:36.400 think he could be the third or fourth back. It's 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.360 a good running back class too. I really like the 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.720 free agents we talked about last segment and this draft class. 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:44.199 We're running back. The Bears take Luke Whilper, the Ohio 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.440 State Center, the center. Um Riley Moss goes to the 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.760 Patriots at seventy six. I'm sure John Michael Schmitt is 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.080 long gone and we just didn't touch on him. But 0:13:54.600 --> 0:14:00.319 his yea, this is this to me. Okay, So at 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:05.520 eighty he has the Steelers taking Rashawn Johnson, running back 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.720 out of Texas. I love the player, but makes no 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.320 sense right right now. I'm a big fan. I like 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.559 him a lot, but why would you use a third 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.600 round draft pick when you have two running backs that 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.760 you really like? So I'm not picking on NFL dot 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.520 com people, but m j D put out his top 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.880 seventy five running backs or whatever it was, might even 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.640 be a hundred. Warren wasn't even on the list. Like 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.400 I know, he's undrafted, but he's the number two, a 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.840 clear number two. You know did good thing, and he 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.680 did good things and there's plenty of tape to evaluate. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:39.560 You may not know what he looks like if he 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.880 walks past you, if you're a national dude or no 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.440 his background, but you have to recognize the analysis stuff. Right, 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.080 He's a two, I mean a clear two. He's probably, 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:54.560 if you're being hard on him, sixtieth and he was 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.080 like Boston Scott right right exactly, or some of these 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.960 old dudes that last forever that I never Hilaire. He 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:05.000 was a healthy scratch two days ago in the Super Bowl. Yeah, 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.960 that doesn't make any sense. I'm just looking here, who 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.920 would I pick given this? Carl Brooks got two. He's 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.920 a lot different than the Baylor knows that they are 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.920 already taken. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there's a corner 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.240 or two that wouldn't be you know, wouldn't turn your 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.840 nose up either. Blake Freeland goes to the Dolphins, the 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.480 offensive tackle for you, Isaiah Fosky was still available. He 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.040 goes to the Ravens. He's a second rounder. Yeah, cay 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.480 you blue Kelly, No, I would take Kelly there. Yeah. Yeah. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.640 Joe Tipman was still available. Wow, some people think he's 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.880 still the number one center. Yeah, um, there are lots 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:44.480 of guys. Kanu Benton was still available. So the running 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.720 back pick aside, which wouldn't happen, and we wouldn't do 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.360 it either either way. You just listed five good names. Yes, 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.320 and it's easy to sit here and say, oh, they 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.840 wouldn't still be there. But one mit one mite, you 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.560 know what I mean? Like that third pick, third rounder, 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.280 the fourth healer pick. It could be better than people 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.520 think in this particular draft. Yeah, they too, is a 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:06.600 quality spot to be picking after. He also did the 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:10.400 comp pics here, he's done the projected compics. So he's 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.920 got Washington with a compic, Cleveland with the third round 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.760 com pick. I'd have to think about what they lost. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.920 But taking Michael Wilson, there's Michael of the receiver, the receiver, 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:22.920 and I like Michael. He has the forty Niners with 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.120 a comp pic. They're they have a bunch of the 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.720 Ravens with a compic. That'd be the Ravens. By the way, 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.720 that's the Niners first pick. They have none in the 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:35.480 top ninety nine. They have three. Yeah, it's amazing how 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.920 they've done work that up. Uh they can? Uh Yeah, 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.120 So that's those are the compics. So the Ravens are 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.080 the Ravens have one, the forty Niners with three. Uh. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.600 I think it's like a FOURDN conclusion that Cleveland. I 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.160 think the Niners get three no matter what because because 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.680 the coaches stuff. I think that's like setting stone. Yeah, 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.440 and no, folks of Steelers do not get a compensatory 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.680 pick for Brian Flores leave because he needs to be 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.560 or two years instead of one. The two years old. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.080 But what the Nighters have done is ridiculous. I mean, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.200 they've traded so many picks to go get Lance and 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.280 McCaffrey that they don't pick forever. But they continually get 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.120 people poached from their organization that yield them compis, which 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:20.040 is tremendous. Yeah. Well but you're losing people. You're losing people, 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.520 I mean left and right. Um, that's a and they're 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.520 gonna lose. They're gonna get more for Damiko Ryan's that's 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.280 next year's grab, that's next year's Yeah. And that's why 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.160 I get it. And that's why people will talk about 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.960 the coaching trees and all that stuff. Sometimes I think 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.440 that gets overrated a little bit. You know. The thing 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.440 with the one that kills me is the Ravens getting 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:43.480 a compic for a guy who is no longer the 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.840 head coach of the team that hired him away in 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.080 the Yeah, I didn't think where that Ravens didn't didn't 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:53.960 develop David Culley David Kelly coach thirty years in the league, 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.000 and the Ravens happened to hire him. And the Texans 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.119 were stupid enough to not stupid enough because he's a 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.439 good coach. Yeah yeah, but no one he was going 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.000 to be the head guy, you know. I mean that 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.600 was a shocker at the time too. An they kept 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.480 them around for one year and they get to draft. 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.640 They get two third round draft picks for it nothing, Yeah, 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.880 I know, for really not anything that they did, so 0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.439 swell right, right, right right. I mean there's flaws in 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.840 the system, of course, Yeah, yeah, it's flaws in any 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:20.680 system like that. One just drives me a little nuts. 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.920 But I gotta tell you, I don't I don't love 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.120 this draft for the Steelers. But if we could pick 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:30.080 who we wanted looking at the board, you know, if 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.119 we would have made the picks. Not not because I'm 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:35.600 cheating and I know what's gonna be there in the 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.920 third round, but like, if here's the first sixteen picks, 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.399 who do you want? Okay, we took you know, the 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.760 we took Branch, and then thirty two rules around and 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:46.400 maybe we would take like or one of the corners. 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.800 I mean, we would have got four really quality picks there, 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.840 and we wouldn't take a running The great thing about 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.760 Branches that you can play him a corner, you can 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:58.560 play safety. I mean, I made no bones that Dax 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.360 Hill was one of my favorite players of Drive last 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.840 year for those reasons, right right right. I mean, and 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.320 again Ravens come to town Docks. You have Mark Andrews, 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.320 and I think Branches. Branch is a better prospect to 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.120 me than I think I think he has more versatility. 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.280 I don't feel test as well as he'll he'll test 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.879 it really really well, and he's over six foot but 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.080 more productive players. I think Branch is a better football player, yeah, 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.880 without that, and I mean a leader on that Alabama defense. 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.800 I mean, Saban is known for secondary to the secondary, 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.199 says baby, and he always has one guy. It was 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.200 Mica one, it was his turn, and this is Branch, 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.800 who's really the quarterback of the offense. You know that, 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.440 I'm not going to light No, he's similar. He's very 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.439 similarly similar as prospects, you know, coming out of Obama 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.520 at the same age. Right, Micky got drafted higher than 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.440 he probably will. But who knows. If he goes and 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.240 runs a four four flat, you can see him at 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.600 seven eight, you know, in that neighborhood soap he runs 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.200 a four five and so he's available. I know he's 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.639 your new crush, and I understand it. Yeah, I just 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:55.400 I think the things that you could do with him 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.000 to a chess piece, and if you take him, you 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.760 still could take a corner a thirty two, and he 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.360 still probably should yeah, because you do need a safety 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.040 and you know, so I mean again, flexibility in the 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:11.239 back end, of this year, the Steelers didn't have they 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.240 didn't have to play a lot of different offensive linemen. 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:15.800 They did have to play a lot of corners and safety. 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.680 So right, guys like Pierre, to me, you're valuable and 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.680 got more valuable over the last year than I thought 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.399 they'd be. You know, absolutely, But Matt, that's going to 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.600 do it on our special show here live from the 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.560 Hall of Honor Museums. Again.

And of course 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.479 two weeks from today we'll be doing shows in a 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:57.080 completely different setting because we'll be in Indiana.

And to see 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.639 in the whole NFL community our shows from from Indie, 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.280 I mean, we get the best guests in the NFL. 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.920 Oh yeah, humongous ones. Yeah, and then we'll do it again. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:09.600 They're just knocking at the door to come on there, 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.439 they line up, they're like, Hey, do we get to 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.920 go on your show next? I guess we'll let you. Yeah, 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.160
