WEBVTT - Mock Draft Round Up Final Edition 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:08.039 Fact us drawing Tetole. What a win for this Miami 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:14.240 Dolphin team. Wow? What is up? Dolphins? And welcome to 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:18.040 the Drive Time Podcast, part of the Miami Dolphins official 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.800 podcast network, covering your Miami Dolphins each and every day. 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.720 How's it going. I am your host, Travis Wingfield, and 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.640 I'm here to bring you your daily dose of Miami 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.440 Dolphins football. And on today's show, I'm riding solo once more. 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.320 I am the captain. Now as we dive into a 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.320 mock draft roundup episode here on Drivetime, we'll go around 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.919 the web and dive into the latest mock drafts from 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:46.040 the foremost experts around the league ESPN, NFL Network. Wherever 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.279 they are, we'll find them. We'll break down their mock 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.720 drafts the way the board falls, evaluate the pis, explore 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.080 the options, and give you a better sense of what 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.880 to expect Thursday night in well the virtual world, not 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.880 Las Vegas. All of that more on this Tuesday, April 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:09.400 edition of the Drivetime Podcast. And I want to start 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:13.000 this episode by asking a question to the fans out there. 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:16.200 Is it just me or has this particular draft process 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.400 been the most arduous of all of them? Since basically 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.800 forever for me. Maybe it's recency bias. I think we're 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.560 all getting a little bit draft fatigue this time of year, 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:30.120 especially with every single outlet having an opinion and seemingly 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.440 different from the last, and all this speculation just to 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.440 see the event play out in real time, truly in 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.360 just two days. I'm sure the quarantine and shelter in 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.920 place orders only serve to fuel that fire more. But man, 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.920 this one just seems to have amplified times ten compared 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.240 to pass draft classes. And that serves as a beautiful 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.600 segue into our first mock draft. From a man who 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.120 only does one mock draft every year. He is the 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.960 o G. And I turned on the Adam Sandler version 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.600 of The Longest Yard Movie the other day, which, by 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.480 the way, I'd like to make another MAJA copa request 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.600 here for forgiveness on leaving super Bad off of Jonah 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.320 Hill's Greatest Hits list. That's my fault. That's inexcusable. And 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.000 here you all came in from Scottsdale, and I'm not 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.160 gonna sing for you. These eyes truly are crying in 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.880 that regard. And this is what happens when I write solo. Guys, 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.400 tangents evolved into other topics altogether, And back to the 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.200 topic here. I was watching The Longest Yard, and that 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.799 movie always reminds me of this moment. In my high 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.520 school days, I had the Sports Marketing class, which was 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.240 essentially twenty of the school's athletes across the major sports. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.840 And your boy was a nifty middle infielder on the 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.800 baseball diamond and a solid distributing point guard on the hardwood. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.480 And the teacher of this class would allow us ten 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.880 minutes of sports talk every Monday morning to recap the 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.960 weekend in sports. And so naturally I love this class, 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.919 my favorite class and the best experience of my entire 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.320 high school education in terms of entertainment value. And why 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.919 am I telling you all this because that teacher knew 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.200 that I had dreams of being a sports writer from 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.680 day one, back in my adolescence. And on that day, 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.840 we were lucky enough to screen The Longest Yard and 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.840 the scene where they cut to the press box and 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.400 one particular sports writer mumbles not bad Crew as in 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.440 Paul Crew, Adam Sandler's character in that film, and my 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.639 teacher yells out Wingfield, who is that? I said, man, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.840 Mr J, that's child's play. That's Pete King. That's what 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.720 I said in my head. What I really said, it 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.720 was more of a bashful Peter King. You just don't 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.600 try me on sports trivia or sports writer trivia, a 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.080 lesson he learned that day. So we go back to 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.880 Peter King for his mock draft, and I will dissect 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.080 his mock from Miami here in just one moment. But 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.360 I want to highlight a line that he wrote that 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.280 I think is therapeutic. Is that the word that I 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.240 want to use here. So here's the line, after he 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.360 ponders the decision between the two quarterbacks that he believes 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.200 are in play. Quote, I don't know if Herbert is 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.640 going to be Miami's pick. My pick is based on 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.560 Miami choosing to go the conservative route and dead of 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.680 trying to hit a triple in the gap by picking 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.000 two a tongue of ioloa. Because the Dolphins have done 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.160 a good job hiding their intentions, I won't be shocked 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.800 either way. And so that tells you a good story 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.240 about how the Dolphins have done well to conceal their 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.400 draft plans from the national media. I mean, Peter King 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.560 is the one that knows all this guy has insight 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.560 and plugs everywhere across the league. If he doesn't know, 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.520 chances are most people do not know. So with that 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.840 we get into his mock draft. He trades up from 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.159 number five to three to select Justin Herbert, and I'd 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.960 be curious to see the compensation on that trade going 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.640 away from Miami to the Detroit Lions. Adam Schefter reported 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.400 on Monday that despite some efforts from the Lions and 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.440 the New York Giants, that neither has had much success 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.679 generating much interest in those picks, the third and fourth 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.880 picks in this year's draft. And if that's the case, 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.480 there's a good chance the second quarterback on the board, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.359 if you assume Joe Burrow goes number one, could be 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.360 there at number five, and a near guarantee that QB 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.040 three is on the board for you there at five. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.440 So in this case you have a choice of anyone 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.360 besides Burrow and Young, and with Herbert that's the pick 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.640 from Peter King. You have the most polished arm in 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.719 this class. He can drive the ball from multiple platforms 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.520 and opens up unique plays in the playbook. The other 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.400 guys simply cannot hit because he has the arm that 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.599 really stands out among this entire draft class, and Oregan 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.040 ran him out of the pistol and utilize some NFL 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.479 play action concepts from that pistol, and that way it 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.640 gets his back to the defense, It gets him a 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.200 deeper drop, allows him more room to will survey the 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.920 field and to deliver stepping up into the pocket or 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.920 whether or not he wants to break outside the pocket. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.760 And that's where he really excelled, breaking the pocket and 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.080 making plays off script with the big arm, with the 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.360 athletic ability. You watch just Colorado tape, he was aces 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.919 doing just that, throwing from the far hash outside the numbers, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.479 threatening tight windows down the seam. That's the game you 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.359 look at if you want to see Justin Herbert's absolute best. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.800 I also liked the Wisconsin game a whole lot in 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.840 the Rose Bowl for the way that he managed that 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.880 how he made plays with his legs, designed runs with 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.039 more straight line speed than anything shifty in a phone booth, 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.839 but also how he bounced back from a pick that 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.159 just wasn't his fault in that game. That to me 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.400 rates highly because you have to manage situations, you have 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.000 to have the short memory. That's all part of playing quarterback, 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.360 and he did that well that day in Pasadena. Pick eighteen, 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.960 Peter King goes back to the defensive end position with 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.839 a j Epanessa out of Iowa. And this is a 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.279 player that I've been a big fan of since his 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.240 freshman season of Iowa and I hearkened back to the 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.240 team college football season. Wyoming was on the road in 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.520 Iowa for a j Epinessa's freshman game. I was trying 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.240 to watch that game to get a good look at 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.159 Josh Allen against the toughest test that Cowboys offense would 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.880 face that season, and Epanessa just flashed right away from 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.640 the first moment. He was the first five star recruit 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.279 that program and had in several years. I forget how 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.600 long it was, but he was their first five star. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.039 He fills out that length profile. He's physically imposing as 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.960 all get out. Man. He is huge, he's long, he's strong, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.040 he can rush, he can set the edge in the 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.080 run game. He can condense inside and rush from that spot. 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.560 He had some tapes that were just it just looked 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.400 unfair out there. You watch him against Minnesota last year 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.240 the Gophers game. Plug that tape on and you'll see 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.120 the best version of a j Epanessa. So King takes 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.480 Epinessa with Christian Fulton, Justin Jefferson to l s U 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.480 Tigers and Henry Ruggs going off the board in the 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.720 next three picks, And I wonder if that might make 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.640 for a potential trade situation or a trade offer that 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.200 comes in with one of the three top perceived receivers 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.000 on the board at pick eighteen, just thinking out loud, 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:36.200 because you've got Minnesota with picks twenty two and twenty 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.080 five and no more Stefawn Digs. You've got the Eagles, 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.840 who they're fan based, by the way, has been clamoring 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.400 for a game breaking receiver, a speed receiver kind of 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.360 like they had back into Sean Jackson back in his heyday. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.840 And you've got New Orleans who seems to need to 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.320 find one more weapon for Breezes Swan Song or penultimate 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.560 season this year. In some things to think about there 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.960 as this board falls. And he also has a pair 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.960 of offensive tackles on the board there pick eighteen with 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.080 both Austin Jackson and Josh Jones. And then he comes 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.800 back at twenty and takes one of those tackles. Jones 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.880 goes off the board earlier, but he comes back with 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.360 Austin Jackson from USC. By now you probably know my 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.800 thoughts on this player. Super athletic profile projects to have 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.600 his best ball ahead of him. For that reason, he 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.800 tested off the charts. He had a great interview at 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.239 the scouting combine. You know the story by now about 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.240 him donating bone marrow in that bone marrow transfusion surgery 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.360 that his sister had last offseason, which essentially robbed the 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.680 entire offseason. He pretty much showed up on the start 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.120 of the season without his regular offseason conditioning, so you 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.160 have to imagine that his best ball could be ahead 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.560 of him. And this guy is an absolute athletic freak. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.880 You tear Gross Motto's Kenneth Murray Isaiah Wilson came off 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.800 the board next a couple of guys to keep an 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.360 eye on their y GM for his length and ability 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.280 to condense inside at defensive ent Kenneth Murray is one 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.800 of the best characters in this entire draft class. His 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.680 background is very unique and very cool. Check out his 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.240 story and Isaiah Wilson, the other Georgia tackle who's getting 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.559 some buzz along with Andrew Thomas. That a lot of 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.600 folks think could come off the board in the first 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.800 round like he does here for Peter King, and that 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.600 guy can flat out move people off the ball, and 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.679 Reese had the line of scrimmage in the running game. 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.800 He is physical and strong as all get out. So 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.960 that's Peter King's mock draft. We go next to the 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.000 mock Draft Live on NFL Network and this aired on 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.360 Sunday night before the Michael Jordan documentary, which, by the way, 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.320 how great was that show? You watch the way that 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.200 guy competed. That man was just created to compete, and 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.400 I think that's what makes him the greatest of all time. 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.400 But I do believe that Lebron is the most talented 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.120 basketball player of all time. Go ahead and send your 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.360 flames my way, and let those flames continue into the 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.120 Hall of Mike Gara. Folo and his mock draft. No 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.120 quarterback off the top. So I'm sure that gets greeted 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.760 with some constern nation, but you have to consider the 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.680 value he got each step of the way in this draft. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.679 He starts at pick number five with Mackay Beckton, the 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.679 left tackle out of Louisville. He's played left, he's played right. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.880 He could probably play inside at guard if you want to, 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.000 although I'm not sure why you would, because you have 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.520 a three hundred and seventy pound mountain of a man 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.080 that can throw bodies around on the outside, and he 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.520 has quick enough feat to help himself and get into 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.520 his past sets, and then he can use that strength 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.079 as he explodes once the pass rusher leans into him 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.800 initially with the patient hands and the patient punch and 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.840 the explosive punch that he offers. So he gets McKay 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.280 Beckton at pick number five. And most of these mock 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.280 drafts have Joe Burrow Chase Young going one too, so 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.560 unless I state otherwise, that's what it was. In this 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:37.439 particular draft, Derek Brown of Auburn goes number three, Tristan 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.319 Worst goes number four, so that leaves Miami with their 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.760 pick of twa or Herbert. But you'll hear about both 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.040 those quarterbacks on other mock drafts in this exercise on 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.719 this podcast, and that, to me is an interesting situation 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:54.120 with Beckton, Thomas, Will's, Simmons, and Okuda all available on 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.800 the board. Right there. We know about Beckton, talked about 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.520 his game. Andrew Thomas is the physical mawel that can 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.160 play left tackle, did it at Georgia for a few years. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.360 I think he probably could play guard inside as well. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.520 Jeddrick Wills played right tackle Alabama, and he had probably 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.800 some of the best tape all year consistently across the 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.320 offensive line. And then Isaiah Simmons, who is just an 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.840 absolute freak of nature, the ultimate chess piece on your defense, 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.720 a position list defender who can play split safety, can 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.520 play single high safety, can cover the slot, probably can 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.079 cover out. Why is a cornerback, He can play linebacker, 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.920 can play will sam, He can play pretty much anywhere 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.160 you want on that defense. So he gives you plenty 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.400 of options there as well out of Clemson. And then 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.920 also Jeff Acuta, who has the best feat among pretty 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.800 much any quarterback I think most draft experts have seen 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.560 going back several years now. That guy can flat out 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.959 play no penalties last year, just a really clean prospect 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.400 in Jeff Okuda. So all those guys on the board, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.360 Garret Folo goes kai becked him. He then comes back 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.199 at pick eighteen with Justin Herbert. Now, granted he did 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.480 acknowledge on the show that he does not believe that 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.840 Justin Herbert makes it that far down the board, but 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.280 they were not allowed to trade in this mock aft 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.160 and I think general consensus tells you that they agree 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.440 with that. That Herbert being there on the board at 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.440 eighteen seems unlikely because somebody probably pulls a trigger and 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.319 goes up on a trade for Herbert. In this particular 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.720 scenario where the quarterbacks get out of the top ten, 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.600 someone else could view that as an opportunity to go 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:19.880 up and trade up and get their quarterback in that spot. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.120 But we already broke down Herbert as the third pick 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.560 in Peter King's mock, so getting him an eighteen is 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:28.800 obviously tremendous value. Trayvon digs A, j Terrell, Patrick Queen, 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.960 and your tiar gross models all come off the board 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.280 after that, some positions that Miami were very active with 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.360 in free agency. Then at Garafola comes back and gets 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.640 the Michigan center in Caesar Ruise, So he knocks out 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.319 the offensive line portion of this class pretty much out 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.960 of the park, because Ruise is a damn fine center 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.280 to go along with Mackay Beckton. Ruise is smart, tough, 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.720 good communicator, and so so young. He'll be just twenty 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.200 one years old on opening day. And his tape is 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.480 full of good execution and a pure will to get 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.600 the block done, regardless of the circumstance, regardless of the 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.760 ask from the coaching staff. I really like this player 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.880 a whole lot. He took bruise with Jackson Epanessa and 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.360 Isaiah Wilson on the board, and these marks give you 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.920 an idea of how so many seem to be split 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.400 on how this draft could go. We are certainly in 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.640 for a treat on Thursday night, which, by the way, 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.760 if you haven't done so already, go ahead and sign 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.920 up for the Miami Dolphins Virtual Draft on Facebook. We'll 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.839 have you covered on all things Dolphins draft, all things 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.720 NFL Draft on the Dolphins Facebook page. Pregame show at 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.640 seven thirty. The draft, of course, kicks off at eight o'clock. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.520 Let's talk about Charles Davis's mock draft, who I think 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.520 is the most underrated analyst and color commentator in the business, 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.360 although perhaps the commentator spot is miscast now because he's 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.640 been promoted to CBS. Is number two team with I N. 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.280 Eagle for the secondary game on CBS, behind Tony Romeo 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.120 and Jim Nance. So good for Charles Davis and congrats 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.240 on that promotion, Mr Davis. At five, he goes with 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.120 two a tongue of Iloa, with both he and Justin 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.640 Herbert on the board. Ward he has Simmons and Akuda 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.040 going three four. So here you've got Derek Brown, who 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.760 is not mocked to the Dolphins in any of these drafts. 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.200 But you want to talk about an unblockable force, turn 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.200 on the Auburn defensive tape and watch number five and 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.960 how many blockers and how many bodies he commands in 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.560 the middle of that Auburn defense. He has the power 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.160 and the explosive combination that just makes such a special 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.920 player on the inside, can rush the passer, defend the run, 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.440 and really commands attention from the entire offensive line. So 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.240 he goes. He's on the board there, I should say, 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.600 and each of those four tackles are available in that 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.800 spot as well, with Beckton, Worth's, Wills and Thomas and 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.120 who he all has going off the board in the 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.960 eight to fourteen range. He comes back at pick number 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.160 eight team with Austin Jackson. We already broke down his 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.680 game and Ross Blacklock, Trayvon Diggs, and Tee Higgins come 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.880 off the board after that, pick of Austin Jackson. Then 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.040 he comes back at pick six with DeAndre Swift, the 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.760 first running back off the board here out of Georgia. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.000 And what you see with DeAndre Swifts game his suddenness, 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.520 explosiveness and a versatility to play all three downs. He's 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.320 not afraid to stick his face and the fan and 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:10.120 pass protection. Very smooth operator when it comes to transitioning 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.760 from pass catcher into runner after the catch, he could 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.040 get up field in a hurry. A quick, one cut 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.800 slasher type of runner that can make some big time plays. 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.400 Has the breakaway speed, has the home run ability, but 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.840 also tough and physical between the tackles. Davis in the 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.920 spot had your tear, Gross mottoes Kenneth Murray and Josh 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.480 Jones as the next three picks off the board. There. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.800 Mel kiper Jr. The absolute o G of draft coverage. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.520 I remember getting his blue books back in the day, 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.920 and I'm always reminded of a joke a buddy told 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.880 me one year about a potential surprise Dolphins pick. It 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.720 might have been Brady Quinn over Ted Gain, but he said, 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.280 I want to see the Dolphins pick player X, just 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.520 so we can watch Kuiper's hair fall out and then 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.720 immediately reform on his head. Hey man, I'd kill to 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.400 have that head of hair. At Kuiper's current age, the 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.000 hair still looks flawless. Keiper and his mock drafts goes 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.000 two rounds and at five he goes Justin Herbert with 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.560 the exact same board we talked about for Charles Davis 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.080 his mock draft, so no need to divulge there. He 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.960 goes Herbert over to uh where Davis goes to over 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.680 Herbert at pick number eight teen a player we haven't 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.480 talked about much, Javon kin Law, and boy, if he's 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.560 on the board there, this is a guy projected to 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.200 go top ten by most pundits across the league, the 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.520 draft Network, ESPN, NFL dot com. They think Kim Law 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.720 is a top ten player all day long, and if 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.040 he's there at pick eight, team, that's a tough option 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.840 to pass up. This guy is an absolute monster explosive, 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.480 can reset the line of scrimmage in a hurry and 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.920 does it over and over again. Sets a tone on 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.960 your defensive line because he plays multiple positions and can 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.360 pretty much run anybody over that he wants functional strength 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.520 at the next level, can play the past, can play 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.440 the run, can cross face and run games upfront, can 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.960 convert speed to power. You watch some of his tapes, 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.240 the Clemson tape, for instance, playing against one of the 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.240 best teams in the country. He made a number of 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.680 impact plays in that game alone. Picky six Kiper comes 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.920 back with Antoine win Field Jr. And this safety can 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:07.040 do everything out of Minnesota Antoine Winfield Senior's son Antoin 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.200 Winfield Jr. He can play the split safety, the deep safety, 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.679 and single high coverage. He can come down in the box. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.960 He blitzes. Anytime you watch Minnesota's big games last year, 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.080 when they had to have a play on defense, it 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.399 was Antoine Winfield who made it the big takeaways, rushing 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.000 the quarterback, running through a running back in past protection, 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.760 defending the c gaps on either side, strong side or 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.879 week side in the run game. He's a lot of 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.679 fun to watch. The next three picks where Caesar, Ruise, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.679 Patrick Queen and again get to your gross models. And 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.320 I don't have ESPN Plus, so I cannot get you 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.720 those second round picks up next here on our expert 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.000 mock Draft roundup is NFL Networks Peter Schreger, who, by 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:47.840 the way, joins the Drivetime Podcast on Thursday, so keep 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.680 your ears to the ground for that final draft preview 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.000 episode here on the Drivetime Podcast, part of the Miami 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.840 Dolphins podcast network. At number five, Schreeger goes Herbert over 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.320 to a and the first of our mock draft round 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.560 up here that has Josh Jones at pick number eighteen. 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.400 I really like the game of Josh Jones out of Houston. 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.360 He's an excellent left tackle prospect, played there almost exclusively 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.760 at Houston. Really good looking pass blocker. He had great 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.399 improvement throughout the week at the Senior Bowl, and that 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.399 shows you how coachable and how adaptable he is and 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.359 how he can improve his game with a little bit 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.080 of coaching type writer feet. I love that note about 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.520 this guy. It helps him get into the vertical sets. 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.800 It helps him win the edge in the run game 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:30.840 or in the past game, helps him climb to the 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.439 second level as a run blocker to wall off and 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.960 seal off those alleys he can get in space. This 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.080 guy is a good looking player. Getting him an eight 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.760 team would be good. Even better, obviously, he's got Murray 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.040 Chason and Patrick Queen off the board. Next Chason is 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:46.800 the one guy in that group we haven't talked about 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.159 a whole lot. He can do multiple things as a 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.320 two point stance linebacker off the football. He can come 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.400 down off the edge and getting that two point stance 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.320 or go three four point stands rush the quarterback. Has 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.840 a very strong upper body that helps him lock out 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.800 the edge and diagnose from there. He can play coverage, 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:04.919 he can rush the quarterback. And the thing you like 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.680 most about him is that Chason looked super explosive last year, 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.000 one year removed from a c L surgery, so you 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.359 have to think that he gets even better this coming 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.200 season his rookie year in the National Football League. Not 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.119 that he goes off the board in this mock draft, 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.040 but he was the next pick after that for Peter Schreeger. 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.719 Then it picked number twenty six. Schreeger comes back and 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.280 takes DeAndre Swift. We broke down his game and the 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.600 mock draft of Charles Davis again you tear gross models. 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.560 The next pick a j. E. Panessa and Isaiah Wilson 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.359 out of Georgia. And finally, how about the goat of 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:39.959
