Speaker 1: Fact us drawing Tetole. What a win for this Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphin team. Wow? What is up? Dolphins? And welcome to
Speaker 1: the Drive Time Podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins official
Speaker 1: podcast network, covering your Miami Dolphins each and every day.
Speaker 1: How's it going. I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and
Speaker 1: I'm here to bring you your daily dose of Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins football. And on today's show, I'm riding solo once more.
Speaker 1: I am the captain. Now as we dive into a
Speaker 1: mock draft roundup episode here on Drivetime, we'll go around
Speaker 1: the web and dive into the latest mock drafts from
Speaker 1: the foremost experts around the league ESPN, NFL Network. Wherever
Speaker 1: they are, we'll find them. We'll break down their mock
Speaker 1: drafts the way the board falls, evaluate the pis, explore
Speaker 1: the options, and give you a better sense of what
Speaker 1: to expect Thursday night in well the virtual world, not
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. All of that more on this Tuesday, April
Speaker 1: edition of the Drivetime Podcast. And I want to start
Speaker 1: this episode by asking a question to the fans out there.
Speaker 1: Is it just me or has this particular draft process
Speaker 1: been the most arduous of all of them? Since basically
Speaker 1: forever for me. Maybe it's recency bias. I think we're
Speaker 1: all getting a little bit draft fatigue this time of year,
Speaker 1: especially with every single outlet having an opinion and seemingly
Speaker 1: different from the last, and all this speculation just to
Speaker 1: see the event play out in real time, truly in
Speaker 1: just two days. I'm sure the quarantine and shelter in
Speaker 1: place orders only serve to fuel that fire more. But man,
Speaker 1: this one just seems to have amplified times ten compared
Speaker 1: to pass draft classes. And that serves as a beautiful
Speaker 1: segue into our first mock draft. From a man who
Speaker 1: only does one mock draft every year. He is the
Speaker 1: o G. And I turned on the Adam Sandler version
Speaker 1: of The Longest Yard Movie the other day, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, I'd like to make another MAJA copa request
Speaker 1: here for forgiveness on leaving super Bad off of Jonah
Speaker 1: Hill's Greatest Hits list. That's my fault. That's inexcusable. And
Speaker 1: here you all came in from Scottsdale, and I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna sing for you. These eyes truly are crying in
Speaker 1: that regard. And this is what happens when I write solo. Guys,
Speaker 1: tangents evolved into other topics altogether, And back to the
Speaker 1: topic here. I was watching The Longest Yard, and that
Speaker 1: movie always reminds me of this moment. In my high
Speaker 1: school days, I had the Sports Marketing class, which was
Speaker 1: essentially twenty of the school's athletes across the major sports.
Speaker 1: And your boy was a nifty middle infielder on the
Speaker 1: baseball diamond and a solid distributing point guard on the hardwood.
Speaker 1: And the teacher of this class would allow us ten
Speaker 1: minutes of sports talk every Monday morning to recap the
Speaker 1: weekend in sports. And so naturally I love this class,
Speaker 1: my favorite class and the best experience of my entire
Speaker 1: high school education in terms of entertainment value. And why
Speaker 1: am I telling you all this because that teacher knew
Speaker 1: that I had dreams of being a sports writer from
Speaker 1: day one, back in my adolescence. And on that day,
Speaker 1: we were lucky enough to screen The Longest Yard and
Speaker 1: the scene where they cut to the press box and
Speaker 1: one particular sports writer mumbles not bad Crew as in
Speaker 1: Paul Crew, Adam Sandler's character in that film, and my
Speaker 1: teacher yells out Wingfield, who is that? I said, man,
Speaker 1: Mr J, that's child's play. That's Pete King. That's what
Speaker 1: I said in my head. What I really said, it
Speaker 1: was more of a bashful Peter King. You just don't
Speaker 1: try me on sports trivia or sports writer trivia, a
Speaker 1: lesson he learned that day. So we go back to
Speaker 1: Peter King for his mock draft, and I will dissect
Speaker 1: his mock from Miami here in just one moment. But
Speaker 1: I want to highlight a line that he wrote that
Speaker 1: I think is therapeutic. Is that the word that I
Speaker 1: want to use here. So here's the line, after he
Speaker 1: ponders the decision between the two quarterbacks that he believes
Speaker 1: are in play. Quote, I don't know if Herbert is
Speaker 1: going to be Miami's pick. My pick is based on
Speaker 1: Miami choosing to go the conservative route and dead of
Speaker 1: trying to hit a triple in the gap by picking
Speaker 1: two a tongue of ioloa. Because the Dolphins have done
Speaker 1: a good job hiding their intentions, I won't be shocked
Speaker 1: either way. And so that tells you a good story
Speaker 1: about how the Dolphins have done well to conceal their
Speaker 1: draft plans from the national media. I mean, Peter King
Speaker 1: is the one that knows all this guy has insight
Speaker 1: and plugs everywhere across the league. If he doesn't know,
Speaker 1: chances are most people do not know. So with that
Speaker 1: we get into his mock draft. He trades up from
Speaker 1: number five to three to select Justin Herbert, and I'd
Speaker 1: be curious to see the compensation on that trade going
Speaker 1: away from Miami to the Detroit Lions. Adam Schefter reported
Speaker 1: on Monday that despite some efforts from the Lions and
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, that neither has had much success
Speaker 1: generating much interest in those picks, the third and fourth
Speaker 1: picks in this year's draft. And if that's the case,
Speaker 1: there's a good chance the second quarterback on the board,
Speaker 1: if you assume Joe Burrow goes number one, could be
Speaker 1: there at number five, and a near guarantee that QB
Speaker 1: three is on the board for you there at five.
Speaker 1: So in this case you have a choice of anyone
Speaker 1: besides Burrow and Young, and with Herbert that's the pick
Speaker 1: from Peter King. You have the most polished arm in
Speaker 1: this class. He can drive the ball from multiple platforms
Speaker 1: and opens up unique plays in the playbook. The other
Speaker 1: guys simply cannot hit because he has the arm that
Speaker 1: really stands out among this entire draft class, and Oregan
Speaker 1: ran him out of the pistol and utilize some NFL
Speaker 1: play action concepts from that pistol, and that way it
Speaker 1: gets his back to the defense, It gets him a
Speaker 1: deeper drop, allows him more room to will survey the
Speaker 1: field and to deliver stepping up into the pocket or
Speaker 1: whether or not he wants to break outside the pocket.
Speaker 1: And that's where he really excelled, breaking the pocket and
Speaker 1: making plays off script with the big arm, with the
Speaker 1: athletic ability. You watch just Colorado tape, he was aces
Speaker 1: doing just that, throwing from the far hash outside the numbers,
Speaker 1: threatening tight windows down the seam. That's the game you
Speaker 1: look at if you want to see Justin Herbert's absolute best.
Speaker 1: I also liked the Wisconsin game a whole lot in
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl for the way that he managed that
Speaker 1: how he made plays with his legs, designed runs with
Speaker 1: more straight line speed than anything shifty in a phone booth,
Speaker 1: but also how he bounced back from a pick that
Speaker 1: just wasn't his fault in that game. That to me
Speaker 1: rates highly because you have to manage situations, you have
Speaker 1: to have the short memory. That's all part of playing quarterback,
Speaker 1: and he did that well that day in Pasadena. Pick eighteen,
Speaker 1: Peter King goes back to the defensive end position with
Speaker 1: a j Epanessa out of Iowa. And this is a
Speaker 1: player that I've been a big fan of since his
Speaker 1: freshman season of Iowa and I hearkened back to the
Speaker 1: team college football season. Wyoming was on the road in
Speaker 1: Iowa for a j Epinessa's freshman game. I was trying
Speaker 1: to watch that game to get a good look at
Speaker 1: Josh Allen against the toughest test that Cowboys offense would
Speaker 1: face that season, and Epanessa just flashed right away from
Speaker 1: the first moment. He was the first five star recruit
Speaker 1: that program and had in several years. I forget how
Speaker 1: long it was, but he was their first five star.
Speaker 1: He fills out that length profile. He's physically imposing as
Speaker 1: all get out. Man. He is huge, he's long, he's strong,
Speaker 1: he can rush, he can set the edge in the
Speaker 1: run game. He can condense inside and rush from that spot.
Speaker 1: He had some tapes that were just it just looked
Speaker 1: unfair out there. You watch him against Minnesota last year
Speaker 1: the Gophers game. Plug that tape on and you'll see
Speaker 1: the best version of a j Epanessa. So King takes
Speaker 1: Epinessa with Christian Fulton, Justin Jefferson to l s U
Speaker 1: Tigers and Henry Ruggs going off the board in the
Speaker 1: next three picks, And I wonder if that might make
Speaker 1: for a potential trade situation or a trade offer that
Speaker 1: comes in with one of the three top perceived receivers
Speaker 1: on the board at pick eighteen, just thinking out loud,
Speaker 1: because you've got Minnesota with picks twenty two and twenty
Speaker 1: five and no more Stefawn Digs. You've got the Eagles,
Speaker 1: who they're fan based, by the way, has been clamoring
Speaker 1: for a game breaking receiver, a speed receiver kind of
Speaker 1: like they had back into Sean Jackson back in his heyday.
Speaker 1: And you've got New Orleans who seems to need to
Speaker 1: find one more weapon for Breezes Swan Song or penultimate
Speaker 1: season this year. In some things to think about there
Speaker 1: as this board falls. And he also has a pair
Speaker 1: of offensive tackles on the board there pick eighteen with
Speaker 1: both Austin Jackson and Josh Jones. And then he comes
Speaker 1: back at twenty and takes one of those tackles. Jones
Speaker 1: goes off the board earlier, but he comes back with
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson from USC. By now you probably know my
Speaker 1: thoughts on this player. Super athletic profile projects to have
Speaker 1: his best ball ahead of him. For that reason, he
Speaker 1: tested off the charts. He had a great interview at
Speaker 1: the scouting combine. You know the story by now about
Speaker 1: him donating bone marrow in that bone marrow transfusion surgery
Speaker 1: that his sister had last offseason, which essentially robbed the
Speaker 1: entire offseason. He pretty much showed up on the start
Speaker 1: of the season without his regular offseason conditioning, so you
Speaker 1: have to imagine that his best ball could be ahead
Speaker 1: of him. And this guy is an absolute athletic freak.
Speaker 1: You tear Gross Motto's Kenneth Murray Isaiah Wilson came off
Speaker 1: the board next a couple of guys to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on their y GM for his length and ability
Speaker 1: to condense inside at defensive ent Kenneth Murray is one
Speaker 1: of the best characters in this entire draft class. His
Speaker 1: background is very unique and very cool. Check out his
Speaker 1: story and Isaiah Wilson, the other Georgia tackle who's getting
Speaker 1: some buzz along with Andrew Thomas. That a lot of
Speaker 1: folks think could come off the board in the first
Speaker 1: round like he does here for Peter King, and that
Speaker 1: guy can flat out move people off the ball, and
Speaker 1: Reese had the line of scrimmage in the running game.
Speaker 1: He is physical and strong as all get out. So
Speaker 1: that's Peter King's mock draft. We go next to the
Speaker 1: mock Draft Live on NFL Network and this aired on
Speaker 1: Sunday night before the Michael Jordan documentary, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: how great was that show? You watch the way that
Speaker 1: guy competed. That man was just created to compete, and
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes him the greatest of all time.
Speaker 1: But I do believe that Lebron is the most talented
Speaker 1: basketball player of all time. Go ahead and send your
Speaker 1: flames my way, and let those flames continue into the
Speaker 1: Hall of Mike Gara. Folo and his mock draft. No
Speaker 1: quarterback off the top. So I'm sure that gets greeted
Speaker 1: with some constern nation, but you have to consider the
Speaker 1: value he got each step of the way in this draft.
Speaker 1: He starts at pick number five with Mackay Beckton, the
Speaker 1: left tackle out of Louisville. He's played left, he's played right.
Speaker 1: He could probably play inside at guard if you want to,
Speaker 1: although I'm not sure why you would, because you have
Speaker 1: a three hundred and seventy pound mountain of a man
Speaker 1: that can throw bodies around on the outside, and he
Speaker 1: has quick enough feat to help himself and get into
Speaker 1: his past sets, and then he can use that strength
Speaker 1: as he explodes once the pass rusher leans into him
Speaker 1: initially with the patient hands and the patient punch and
Speaker 1: the explosive punch that he offers. So he gets McKay
Speaker 1: Beckton at pick number five. And most of these mock
Speaker 1: drafts have Joe Burrow Chase Young going one too, so
Speaker 1: unless I state otherwise, that's what it was. In this
Speaker 1: particular draft, Derek Brown of Auburn goes number three, Tristan
Speaker 1: Worst goes number four, so that leaves Miami with their
Speaker 1: pick of twa or Herbert. But you'll hear about both
Speaker 1: those quarterbacks on other mock drafts in this exercise on
Speaker 1: this podcast, and that, to me is an interesting situation
Speaker 1: with Beckton, Thomas, Will's, Simmons, and Okuda all available on
Speaker 1: the board. Right there. We know about Beckton, talked about
Speaker 1: his game. Andrew Thomas is the physical mawel that can
Speaker 1: play left tackle, did it at Georgia for a few years.
Speaker 1: I think he probably could play guard inside as well.
Speaker 1: Jeddrick Wills played right tackle Alabama, and he had probably
Speaker 1: some of the best tape all year consistently across the
Speaker 1: offensive line. And then Isaiah Simmons, who is just an
Speaker 1: absolute freak of nature, the ultimate chess piece on your defense,
Speaker 1: a position list defender who can play split safety, can
Speaker 1: play single high safety, can cover the slot, probably can
Speaker 1: cover out. Why is a cornerback, He can play linebacker,
Speaker 1: can play will sam, He can play pretty much anywhere
Speaker 1: you want on that defense. So he gives you plenty
Speaker 1: of options there as well out of Clemson. And then
Speaker 1: also Jeff Acuta, who has the best feat among pretty
Speaker 1: much any quarterback I think most draft experts have seen
Speaker 1: going back several years now. That guy can flat out
Speaker 1: play no penalties last year, just a really clean prospect
Speaker 1: in Jeff Okuda. So all those guys on the board,
Speaker 1: Garret Folo goes kai becked him. He then comes back
Speaker 1: at pick eighteen with Justin Herbert. Now, granted he did
Speaker 1: acknowledge on the show that he does not believe that
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert makes it that far down the board, but
Speaker 1: they were not allowed to trade in this mock aft
Speaker 1: and I think general consensus tells you that they agree
Speaker 1: with that. That Herbert being there on the board at
Speaker 1: eighteen seems unlikely because somebody probably pulls a trigger and
Speaker 1: goes up on a trade for Herbert. In this particular
Speaker 1: scenario where the quarterbacks get out of the top ten,
Speaker 1: someone else could view that as an opportunity to go
Speaker 1: up and trade up and get their quarterback in that spot.
Speaker 1: But we already broke down Herbert as the third pick
Speaker 1: in Peter King's mock, so getting him an eighteen is
Speaker 1: obviously tremendous value. Trayvon digs A, j Terrell, Patrick Queen,
Speaker 1: and your tiar gross models all come off the board
Speaker 1: after that, some positions that Miami were very active with
Speaker 1: in free agency. Then at Garafola comes back and gets
Speaker 1: the Michigan center in Caesar Ruise, So he knocks out
Speaker 1: the offensive line portion of this class pretty much out
Speaker 1: of the park, because Ruise is a damn fine center
Speaker 1: to go along with Mackay Beckton. Ruise is smart, tough,
Speaker 1: good communicator, and so so young. He'll be just twenty
Speaker 1: one years old on opening day. And his tape is
Speaker 1: full of good execution and a pure will to get
Speaker 1: the block done, regardless of the circumstance, regardless of the
Speaker 1: ask from the coaching staff. I really like this player
Speaker 1: a whole lot. He took bruise with Jackson Epanessa and
Speaker 1: Isaiah Wilson on the board, and these marks give you
Speaker 1: an idea of how so many seem to be split
Speaker 1: on how this draft could go. We are certainly in
Speaker 1: for a treat on Thursday night, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: if you haven't done so already, go ahead and sign
Speaker 1: up for the Miami Dolphins Virtual Draft on Facebook. We'll
Speaker 1: have you covered on all things Dolphins draft, all things
Speaker 1: NFL Draft on the Dolphins Facebook page. Pregame show at
Speaker 1: seven thirty. The draft, of course, kicks off at eight o'clock.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Charles Davis's mock draft, who I think
Speaker 1: is the most underrated analyst and color commentator in the business,
Speaker 1: although perhaps the commentator spot is miscast now because he's
Speaker 1: been promoted to CBS. Is number two team with I N.
Speaker 1: Eagle for the secondary game on CBS, behind Tony Romeo
Speaker 1: and Jim Nance. So good for Charles Davis and congrats
Speaker 1: on that promotion, Mr Davis. At five, he goes with
Speaker 1: two a tongue of Iloa, with both he and Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert on the board. Ward he has Simmons and Akuda
Speaker 1: going three four. So here you've got Derek Brown, who
Speaker 1: is not mocked to the Dolphins in any of these drafts.
Speaker 1: But you want to talk about an unblockable force, turn
Speaker 1: on the Auburn defensive tape and watch number five and
Speaker 1: how many blockers and how many bodies he commands in
Speaker 1: the middle of that Auburn defense. He has the power
Speaker 1: and the explosive combination that just makes such a special
Speaker 1: player on the inside, can rush the passer, defend the run,
Speaker 1: and really commands attention from the entire offensive line. So
Speaker 1: he goes. He's on the board there, I should say,
Speaker 1: and each of those four tackles are available in that
Speaker 1: spot as well, with Beckton, Worth's, Wills and Thomas and
Speaker 1: who he all has going off the board in the
Speaker 1: eight to fourteen range. He comes back at pick number
Speaker 1: eight team with Austin Jackson. We already broke down his
Speaker 1: game and Ross Blacklock, Trayvon Diggs, and Tee Higgins come
Speaker 1: off the board after that, pick of Austin Jackson. Then
Speaker 1: he comes back at pick six with DeAndre Swift, the
Speaker 1: first running back off the board here out of Georgia.
Speaker 1: And what you see with DeAndre Swifts game his suddenness,
Speaker 1: explosiveness and a versatility to play all three downs. He's
Speaker 1: not afraid to stick his face and the fan and
Speaker 1: pass protection. Very smooth operator when it comes to transitioning
Speaker 1: from pass catcher into runner after the catch, he could
Speaker 1: get up field in a hurry. A quick, one cut
Speaker 1: slasher type of runner that can make some big time plays.
Speaker 1: Has the breakaway speed, has the home run ability, but
Speaker 1: also tough and physical between the tackles. Davis in the
Speaker 1: spot had your tear, Gross mottoes Kenneth Murray and Josh
Speaker 1: Jones as the next three picks off the board. There.
Speaker 1: Mel kiper Jr. The absolute o G of draft coverage.
Speaker 1: I remember getting his blue books back in the day,
Speaker 1: and I'm always reminded of a joke a buddy told
Speaker 1: me one year about a potential surprise Dolphins pick. It
Speaker 1: might have been Brady Quinn over Ted Gain, but he said,
Speaker 1: I want to see the Dolphins pick player X, just
Speaker 1: so we can watch Kuiper's hair fall out and then
Speaker 1: immediately reform on his head. Hey man, I'd kill to
Speaker 1: have that head of hair. At Kuiper's current age, the
Speaker 1: hair still looks flawless. Keiper and his mock drafts goes
Speaker 1: two rounds and at five he goes Justin Herbert with
Speaker 1: the exact same board we talked about for Charles Davis
Speaker 1: his mock draft, so no need to divulge there. He
Speaker 1: goes Herbert over to uh where Davis goes to over
Speaker 1: Herbert at pick number eight teen a player we haven't
Speaker 1: talked about much, Javon kin Law, and boy, if he's
Speaker 1: on the board there, this is a guy projected to
Speaker 1: go top ten by most pundits across the league, the
Speaker 1: draft Network, ESPN, NFL dot com. They think Kim Law
Speaker 1: is a top ten player all day long, and if
Speaker 1: he's there at pick eight, team, that's a tough option
Speaker 1: to pass up. This guy is an absolute monster explosive,
Speaker 1: can reset the line of scrimmage in a hurry and
Speaker 1: does it over and over again. Sets a tone on
Speaker 1: your defensive line because he plays multiple positions and can
Speaker 1: pretty much run anybody over that he wants functional strength
Speaker 1: at the next level, can play the past, can play
Speaker 1: the run, can cross face and run games upfront, can
Speaker 1: convert speed to power. You watch some of his tapes,
Speaker 1: the Clemson tape, for instance, playing against one of the
Speaker 1: best teams in the country. He made a number of
Speaker 1: impact plays in that game alone. Picky six Kiper comes
Speaker 1: back with Antoine win Field Jr. And this safety can
Speaker 1: do everything out of Minnesota Antoine Winfield Senior's son Antoin
Speaker 1: Winfield Jr. He can play the split safety, the deep safety,
Speaker 1: and single high coverage. He can come down in the box.
Speaker 1: He blitzes. Anytime you watch Minnesota's big games last year,
Speaker 1: when they had to have a play on defense, it
Speaker 1: was Antoine Winfield who made it the big takeaways, rushing
Speaker 1: the quarterback, running through a running back in past protection,
Speaker 1: defending the c gaps on either side, strong side or
Speaker 1: week side in the run game. He's a lot of
Speaker 1: fun to watch. The next three picks where Caesar, Ruise,
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen and again get to your gross models. And
Speaker 1: I don't have ESPN Plus, so I cannot get you
Speaker 1: those second round picks up next here on our expert
Speaker 1: mock Draft roundup is NFL Networks Peter Schreger, who, by
Speaker 1: the way, joins the Drivetime Podcast on Thursday, so keep
Speaker 1: your ears to the ground for that final draft preview
Speaker 1: episode here on the Drivetime Podcast, part of the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins podcast network. At number five, Schreeger goes Herbert over
Speaker 1: to a and the first of our mock draft round
Speaker 1: up here that has Josh Jones at pick number eighteen.
Speaker 1: I really like the game of Josh Jones out of Houston.
Speaker 1: He's an excellent left tackle prospect, played there almost exclusively
Speaker 1: at Houston. Really good looking pass blocker. He had great
Speaker 1: improvement throughout the week at the Senior Bowl, and that
Speaker 1: shows you how coachable and how adaptable he is and
Speaker 1: how he can improve his game with a little bit
Speaker 1: of coaching type writer feet. I love that note about
Speaker 1: this guy. It helps him get into the vertical sets.
Speaker 1: It helps him win the edge in the run game
Speaker 1: or in the past game, helps him climb to the
Speaker 1: second level as a run blocker to wall off and
Speaker 1: seal off those alleys he can get in space. This
Speaker 1: guy is a good looking player. Getting him an eight
Speaker 1: team would be good. Even better, obviously, he's got Murray
Speaker 1: Chason and Patrick Queen off the board. Next Chason is
Speaker 1: the one guy in that group we haven't talked about
Speaker 1: a whole lot. He can do multiple things as a
Speaker 1: two point stance linebacker off the football. He can come
Speaker 1: down off the edge and getting that two point stance
Speaker 1: or go three four point stands rush the quarterback. Has
Speaker 1: a very strong upper body that helps him lock out
Speaker 1: the edge and diagnose from there. He can play coverage,
Speaker 1: he can rush the quarterback. And the thing you like
Speaker 1: most about him is that Chason looked super explosive last year,
Speaker 1: one year removed from a c L surgery, so you
Speaker 1: have to think that he gets even better this coming
Speaker 1: season his rookie year in the National Football League. Not
Speaker 1: that he goes off the board in this mock draft,
Speaker 1: but he was the next pick after that for Peter Schreeger.
Speaker 1: Then it picked number twenty six. Schreeger comes back and
Speaker 1: takes DeAndre Swift. We broke down his game and the
Speaker 1: mock draft of Charles Davis again you tear gross models.
Speaker 1: The next pick a j. E. Panessa and Isaiah Wilson
Speaker 1: out of Georgia. And finally, how about the goat of
Speaker 1: the game, Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Networks lead draft analyst, His
Speaker 1: last mock was April nine, so we don't want to
Speaker 1: go into that one. But he did chat with the
Speaker 1: venerable Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, and he gave
Speaker 1: Barry his ideal Dolphins draft and it goes like this
Speaker 1: off the top, number five to a tongue of Byloa.
Speaker 1: We talked about to his game a lot here on
Speaker 1: this podcast, as we do all the quarterbacks. I just
Speaker 1: continue to watch the way he can handle the football
Speaker 1: in the r P O game, the short quick game,
Speaker 1: distributes to the football to the open man, The way
Speaker 1: he processes, the way he moves people with his eyes,
Speaker 1: with his feet, with his lower half position, the way
Speaker 1: he can convince linebackers and safeties to take the cheese
Speaker 1: and get them off their spot and then attack accordingly.
Speaker 1: He fed all four of those Alabama receivers last year,
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, DeVonta Smith, Henry Ruggs and Jerry Judy. Kept
Speaker 1: them all fed, kept them all happy. That's not easy
Speaker 1: to do. He can make plays off script. He can
Speaker 1: manage the pocket very very well, erases free rushers, very
Speaker 1: good ball handler, and his fakes, his handoffs, the way
Speaker 1: he can kind of put the ball to one side
Speaker 1: to fake out a free rusher, move back the other way,
Speaker 1: reset and throw a strike over the middle down the
Speaker 1: field to the outside. He really can do a lot
Speaker 1: of things for your offense and keeps multiple things open.
Speaker 1: Very good leader of men as well as you hear
Speaker 1: Trent Dilford, Kirk, Herb Street, Nick Saban, pretty much anyone
Speaker 1: that has an opinion about this player says how much
Speaker 1: his spirit and character means to that Alabama football program
Speaker 1: the last couple of years in Tuscaloosa. Picked for eighteen
Speaker 1: for Jeremiah ideally is Henry Ruggs too. Was running mate
Speaker 1: there at wide receiver who took several of those slant
Speaker 1: routes to the house we talked about on the draft
Speaker 1: preview way back. I think at the scouting combine how
Speaker 1: Ruggs had twenty four touchdowns on one career touches at Alabama.
Speaker 1: He is instant offense ran a four to eight forty,
Speaker 1: can take the top off the defense, can run routes
Speaker 1: from any split on the field plus split mina split,
Speaker 1: nasty split condensed inside, can play, the slot, can play,
Speaker 1: the X, can play the Z. Pretty much does everything
Speaker 1: as a receiver and He's not a one trick pony
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. He's a good looking
Speaker 1: route runner. Pick twenty six and Jeremiah's ideal mock for
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins is Austin Jackson. We broke his game
Speaker 1: down the athletic profile. Figures to have a lot more
Speaker 1: growth in his game because of the fact he didn't
Speaker 1: have an off season last year ahead of USC twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen season. Super young player too, gonna be twenty one
Speaker 1: years on opening Day. Then at pick number thirty nine,
Speaker 1: he has Marlon Davidson from Auburn, a player we haven't
Speaker 1: talked about a whole lot, but you watch the way
Speaker 1: Davidson had a very good Senior Bowl week, and a
Speaker 1: reason for that was because he can rush both inside
Speaker 1: and outside, and he can cross face, and he can
Speaker 1: win with speed and he can win with power. That
Speaker 1: Auburn defensive line just bullied teams last year and Derek
Speaker 1: Brown was a big reason for that. But also Marlon
Speaker 1: Davidson the outside edge rusher and possible defensive tackle depending
Speaker 1: on your defensive alignment. Davidson can do multiple things up front.
Speaker 1: The ideal pick for Jeremiah at thirty nine at fifty six,
Speaker 1: he goes back to the offensive line and gets Lloyd
Speaker 1: Cushionberry from l s U. The angles he takes in
Speaker 1: the running game. The leadership were the eight teen jersey
Speaker 1: at l s U, a distinction given to the top
Speaker 1: captain on the offensive and defensive side of the football
Speaker 1: for the way he exudes leadership both on and off
Speaker 1: the field. This guy can anchor and pass pro kind
Speaker 1: of low center of gravity, so he can really squat
Speaker 1: and anchor that thing against power rushes. Has the side
Speaker 1: decide agility to handle the stunt game, the twist game upfront,
Speaker 1: and lateral agility of defensive lineman. So good luck and
Speaker 1: draft here for Jeremiah to a tule Byloa, Henry Rugs,
Speaker 1: Austin Jackson, Mark and Davidson and Lloyd Cushionberry. And that
Speaker 1: was a fun podcast. That's gonna be it for this podcast.
