Speaker 2: from the twenty twenty four NFL Draft. The Steelers are

Speaker 2: continuing this week to host some visitors. Today was Troy

Speaker 2: Fatanu love it, the offensive lineman out of Washington and

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: Mason McCormick from South Dakota State love it another interior

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: offensive lineman. Well, an interior offensive lineman. Again. Where the

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: Steelers are looking at here is not They're not hiding anything.

12
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: They're all the names we've been talking about forever. Get

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: kind of the firms. Maybe you and I have a

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: clue that we're talking about. Beautiful day in the burg

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: by the way, Yeah, avoided some weather over the weekend

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: and things are turning.

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: On today at the start of my pony season as well.

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 3: Oh nice, that's fine.

19
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: Good. I'll be umpiring two baseball games tonight.

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: How about that doubleheader? A bunch of guardwork. This's this

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 3: weekend for me and that kind of stuff. So good,

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: good stuff. Fatanu to me, is maybe the most fun

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: offensive line tape I've ever watched. I mean, he plays

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: the position like a running back. I mean he's so

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: quick out of his stance, the long arms he used

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: as well, he's aggressive he's running downfield. I mean, like

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: here my kind of I hate to say this. I'm

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: sure it's somebody great.

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: But his effort reminds me of Dermanti Dawson. Yeah, with

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: the way he gets out and finishes, and he gets

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: out and just he kills.

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: People super aggressive, and it changes directions so abruptly. I

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: mean he's sometimes he has two steps in the ground

34
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: and protection as of the pass rushers putting his first

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: one in the ground, you know. I mean, like his

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: quickness is really really impressive. I meant to bring this

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: up to you, like a month.

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: Of course with him though, Matt, Yeah, yeah, do you

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: see him playing left tackle in the NFL? Or is

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: he could? You? Would you shift him the right tackle?

41
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: Shift him the right? Well, I think that's why he's here.

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: That's I mean, I think you have that conversation because.

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: He I mean he is like like Jones has been

44
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: a left tackle left throughout his college s career In

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: fact he has more starting experience than Broderick Jones at

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: left tackle and his quickness why that type of thing, right,

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: Is he a better prospect than Broderick Jones could be?

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: That's actually what's similar to what I was about to

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: throw out of you is if he's six six, he

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: goes ahead of Alt he's number one. I mean he

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: might go fourth in the draft. Do I want Marvin

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: or I want him?

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: You know?

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: I mean, like that's the conversation. I really think he's

55
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: that good. That's the only negative I could find. I

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 3: honestly don't care. I mean, if he wants to play

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 3: left and Jones wants to play left, let's flip a coin.

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: I mean, whatever it is, it.

59
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: Might it might depend on what you want you out

60
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: of your tackles too.

61
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: Right right right? Yeah? And they both are very good

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: run blockers. There different styles obviously. I think Jones is

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: more physical, stronger bury you into the ground where FATANDU

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: might be. It's definitely better getting downfield quickness off the ball, though.

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to pull with your left tackle.

66
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: And yeah, fine, I mean brought Jones did a lot

67
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: of pulling, and I think you figure that out down

68
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: the road, but I think you have that conversation with

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: him today while he's in the building. Yeah, do you care?

70
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 3: I mean, And what we don't know is it sure

71
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: seems like Jones would prefer the left. He was drafted

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: for the left.

73
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: He said he prefers left.

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't think that's a secret. But

75
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean he wouldn't play right.

76
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: Right. He now has a year starting experience under his

77
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: playing tackle.

78
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: Right, so I'd figure that out when down the road.

79
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: And McCormick has played exclusively left guard in South Dakota State.

80
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: But but everyone seems to project them at center now

81
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: and I can't find his center history, evening.

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: The Beast and stuff or nothing there, even.

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: Like Barton started at center, then they bumped them to

84
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: the left tackle, you know, because he wouldn't be a

85
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: left tackle with Georgia because he's a duke. He was

86
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: a left tackle. Yeah, McCormick. I don't know if he

87
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: was a center in high school or what, but everyone

88
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: calling him center.

89
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: You know, at some of those smaller schools, they have

90
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: those guys do multiple things just in case because you

91
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: only have so many you might have four offensive linemen

92
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: or actually any good.

93
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: Especially when they're like freshmen before they're set as the

94
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: left guard or right guard, like do a bunch of

95
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: stuff and when someone gets hurt, you're gonna be a

96
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: first guy out there no matter what. Right, Because no

97
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: one seems to be worried about him playing center athletically

98
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: and everything I've seen from him, it translates tremendously, And

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: he's a great tester. Watching his film, he doesn't look

100
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: as athletic as his testing was, but he's like in

101
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: the top five percent testers in terms. I mean, like

102
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: that's a high praise. Where fatan who actually looks maybe

103
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: more athletic than is testing, I.

104
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: Mean, wow, but Atana looks like he can play defense lineman.

105
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and he wears his pads weird about them,

106
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: weird as he's a very unconventional player. But McCormick to me,

107
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: is someone I've warmed up to heavily and just thinking

108
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: him as a center third round in that neighborhood, you know,

109
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot to work with there.

110
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: It's it's funny that you mentioned the third round thing

111
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: because we were talking off the air and I ran

112
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: a bunch of walk drafts over the weekend It's basically

113
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: what I did while I watch baseball or whatever. You

114
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: and I've just seemed to find that if the tackles

115
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: are gone, the top five tackles are not there.

116
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: Aton who's sitting there?

117
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: Do you grab? Then you take? But if it's if

118
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: it doesn't work out that way, I like to build

119
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: better taking uh the gene, the gene at that twenty spot.

120
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I certainly see where you're coming from. And I

121
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: know people they hate hearing this, but I think the

122
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: worst way to build is center in round one. Yeah,

123
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: you know what I mean how it all ends up

124
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: more often than not.

125
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: I find my if I do that. If you do

126
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: it that way, you find yourself lacking.

127
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 3: You're missing something, You're missing something.

128
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: When by the time you get through the pick one nineteen,

129
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: you're still missing something. Because the beauty of de Gene

130
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: is that he kills multiple things. Birds one yeah right,

131
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: he can play outside, he can play inside, he can

132
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: play safety for you.

133
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 3: I mean, of course, you could take another defensive back

134
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 3: at any point if you already drafted the Gene, but

135
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: you don't have to. Yeah, I mean, he your secondary

136
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 3: is complete in some way, shape or form. My opinion

137
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: and that's really attractive, you know, that's really attracted.

138
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: And the other the other thing now that that I'm

139
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: seeing is is people are firming up their their boards. Now. Yeah,

140
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: some of the the cornerbacks, the guys that we liked

141
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: that we're getting in rounds three and four early in

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 2: the process.

143
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're gone.

144
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: They're gone by the third round.

145
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: Like you're not getting Max Melt, you don't get Phillips,

146
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: you're not getting right exactly.

147
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: These guys are gone. So you have to take them

148
00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 2: around in round two, and then you miss on a.

149
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: Receiver, right, I really like the receiver in round two, right,

150
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, Pearcell's there. I'm not taking a corner.

151
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: You know, it gets there. I'm not taking a corner

152
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: right right. And that's the problem is so I I

153
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: if you, if you wait now, you're taking a corner

154
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: back in round three that you're probably gonna have to

155
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: take another guy or sign or do something to.

156
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: Somebody like that. That's a placeholder. And Patrick Peterson you

157
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: want to come back or somebody like that.

158
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: But if I take Dejene in the first round, you're done.

159
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: Not my slot, My slot's filled. He can play outside,

160
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: he can play inside. I can do a lot of

161
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: different stuff with him. I'll get a center, I'll get

162
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: a Mason McCormick. Yeah, I'll get a bowl limit, right.

163
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: You know, you know one of those guys that.

164
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: Maybe even the fourth Yeah, I mean they don't necessarily

165
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: even day two guys. I mean some of them that

166
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: you can live with that you.

167
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Get him at ninety eight.

168
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, I'm with you. And Corner can be

169
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: a little sticky at times. Yeah, I mean sometimes it's

170
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: like third round, I'm settling for a true slot. I

171
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: like him, you know, the Florida state.

172
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: But then you're looking later in the draft, like I

173
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: should probably draft another one in case either if this

174
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: guy doesn't work out or I often know an outside

175
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: guy safety then.

176
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: Quickly after they can play the slot in the fourth, fifth,

177
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: in that in that neighborhood too. And I always think

178
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: of it through the lens of well, I'm giving more

179
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: special teamers too. But I hear what you're saying on Dejeene,

180
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: But he's the only defensive back that fits that criteria

181
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: to yeah, you know.

182
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, like cool lay McKinstry doesn't do that for me.

183
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: No, No, And Arnold probably won't be there Mitchell would

184
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: be really hard to pass on. I think he'll be there,

185
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: but it's not really a true true need.

186
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I'm just talking about the guys who

187
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: I think will be there. Yeah, and I think Degene

188
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: will be there.

189
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: I give him a sixty percent chance.

190
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: Like I would take him. I would take him over

191
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: Mims or Guiton.

192
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 3: I would take him over Geyton. Mims is a tough

193
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: one for me. I see what you're saying. We always

194
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: go back and forth on Mims. I think Mems is

195
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: noticeably better than Guyton. That's a tough one for me.

196
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 3: That's a that's the true point flip as it sits

197
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: right now. That's like my line of demarcation. But I'm

198
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: taking them ahead of the centers. Yeah, I mean, I

199
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: love Barton, I love JPJ. It's just you don't get

200
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: a great advantage of a fifth year option with those guys.

201
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: There's other centers. What's also sticky too, is kind of

202
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: a piggyback off this. It's not always really clean. If

203
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 3: Fraser gets to fifty one to take him.

204
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the other coming of passion on a good

205
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: receiver pitching it.

206
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like if it's pure sool or Fraser. It's

207
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: like everyone's hoping, you know, your fingers across the Fraser's

208
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 3: gonna make the fifty one, which I give him maybe

209
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: a thirty percent chance of, and I hope he's there.

210
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: But the team build isn't always great when you when

211
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: you take him, you know, you're not always thrilled with

212
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: the results.

213
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: No, I'm with you. I just think that that Again,

214
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: I probably believe.

215
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: Why centers don't go in the top fifty very often.

216
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: I probably ran forty mark drafts from Friday through Sunday,

217
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: and that just seemed to be the best way to build.

218
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: It's an interesting way unless you want to start trading

219
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: next year's picks. And I don't necessarily want to do that.

220
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, hey, you can have one of the

221
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: sevens or one to six or something like that.

222
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: That's different, but you're gonna have to trade. I'm not

223
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: trading a Day one or two pick next year.

224
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: And now things Again, we brought this up a thousand times.

225
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: But if you trade from twenty to twenty two to

226
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 3: twenty three to twenty five, whatever, a lot of these

227
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: problems go away. Yeah, and you still may end up

228
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: with the Degene mimes conundrum.

229
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: Were several times where I did that and traded down

230
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: until you know, twenty five or something like that, and

231
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: still got degene. I'm like, now, really.

232
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 3: Everything's gravy from that, right, Yeah, I hear you, because

233
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: then you're gonna get the receiver and a center and

234
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: then you get the D lineman. Then yeah, because the

235
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: sometimes you don't get the D lineman, right, you know,

236
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: it's like, well, I gotta be short on something and

237
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: you end up with the fifth round D lineman or

238
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: something like that, which is okay, you know, but it's

239
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: not a difference maker probably, you know.

240
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just uh, Distrap's a lot of fun.

241
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: It's a lot of fun.

242
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun.

243
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: And I know there's all this conversation like Ayuke's getting

244
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: traded and all that, and hey, I'd love to have him,

245
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: But I went these picks, you know what I mean.

246
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: I just don't see how you getting moved.

247
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: I don't think they move them. I don't think they

248
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: want to move them. No. You know, like my Niners

249
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: guy was talked to is like why would we trade them?

250
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: You know, like we would win the Super Bowl this

251
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: year and then trade Deebo after next year, I will

252
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: give i UK a ton of money trade Deebo after

253
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: this year. That that makes so much more more sensible move.

254
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: It's way more sensible. Yeah right, I mean they're trying

255
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: to win the whole thing.

256
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: It's the same thing with the Eagles. Now, they just

257
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: signed DeVante Smith to a three year, seventy five million

258
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: dollar deal.

259
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: I think that's not a bad deal for him, but

260
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: they've got two.

261
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: Fifty million dollars in receivers.

262
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

263
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: You can't that can't You can't sustain that?

264
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? Can Miami do that with Wattle and hill R?

265
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: I mean I immediately thought of Wattle when signed their teammates.

266
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: That's what Wattle's gonna want. That's what Yuk's gonna want

267
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: if he gets traded.

268
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would want a little more if I might. Right,

269
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: all those guys are gonna say, well, we'll start at

270
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: DeVante Smith contract go from there. I mean I an

271
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: Auk or a Wattle or a trade like that. The

272
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: contract doesn't bother me as much as the compensation. Yeah,

273
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: I want to use these picks on this draft class. Yeah,

274
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: you know.

275
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: And the other thing is is you're giving up Let's

276
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: say it's a two, which is probably more than they're

277
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 2: probably gonna want more than that. Yeah, yeah, but you're

278
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: giving up that and you're paying the guy.

279
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: Right, It's worked out for receivers much more than other

280
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: positions of late, but it's still a double whammie. Yeah,

281
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: it's rough. Yeah.

282
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 2: So yeah, I just I just find this draft. The

283
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: pockets in this draft there where we think they're going

284
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: things are going to how we think things are going

285
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: to fall.

286
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: We started thing with pre draft visits. They're not hiding

287
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: much there. No, it's not a wide they're not bringing

288
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: a lot of safeties and guards and tight ends. I mean,

289
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: they're not wasting their time with the positions no one

290
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: knows they're going to take.

291
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's fascinating, it's a it's a fun Uh.

292
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: We got ten more days left here and really nine

293
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: after we do this show. But it starts to heat

294
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: up fast and furious after this week. Like the visits

295
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: stop on Wednesday?

296
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: Is there? I'm sure there's a limit of when you

297
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: can't visit anything.

298
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: Wednesday. Wednesdays Wednesdays the last day for visits.

299
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: So like the Pinnix one that's quote scheduled, probably never happened.

300
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: Right yeah, and you know may just been.

301
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: Who knows what they are. These aren't official the Steelers

302
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: putting out exactly who the visits are either, well they are,

303
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 3: but they haven't mentioned him.

304
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: He has not been mentioned, right right, Yeah, So you

305
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: know that's why you no no offense, That's why you

306
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 2: follow people like me on Twitter. Right, I'm going to

307
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: give you exactly who these guys are, and I'm going

308
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: to speculate about this guy has rumored to be coming. No,

309
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: these are the guys who have come in today on

310
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: this day.

311
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 3: We saw Max Melton in person a couple of days

312
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: ago in there is he's here.

313
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyways, let's get to a break. He is Matt Williamson.

314
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: I'm Dale Lollie. You're listening to the Drive here on

315
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: Steelers Nation Radio. We'll be back with more right after

316
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: this this.

317
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt will on

318
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

319
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

320
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: And we are fat. I'm Dale Lalli. He is the

321
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and Matt Marcus Mosher on the thirty third

322
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: teams put together a seven round mock draft with trades.

323
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: And you talk about an ambitious undertaking.

324
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: Now, when I say with trades, there's only a couple.

325
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: He's not trading the fourth round trades are those?

326
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: Those aren't like that gets Insand yeah, we got to

327
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: be rain man to do the things. But Marcus is

328
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: a good dude. Actually tune in every Wednesday, him and

329
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: I host a lockdown dynasty. They do all days. I

330
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: just do the one. He actually lives reasonably close right

331
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: outside of Erie, so he does good work. He does

332
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff for them and Pro Football Focus.

333
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: So okay, so a Cowboys guy he has that makes

334
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: sense since he's an eerie.

335
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 3: That's I don't know if he grew up there or not.

336
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: To be honest with him, Big got Caleb Williams going

337
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: to the Bears at two. He's got Jaden Daniels to

338
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: Washington at three. He's got a trade. Okay, the Vikings

339
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: come up, they trade, They get picked number three and

340
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: pick one oh three. The Patriots get eleven twenty three

341
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: and a twenty twenty five first round draft pick.

342
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: That seems to be like the standard situation. You know,

343
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: if that, if that, those two teams make a trade.

344
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: And they come up and take Drake May.

345
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: And for New England. I think that's smart.

346
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: That would be the move to make.

347
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would not want to throw I like Drake

348
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: May more than you do. I would not want to

349
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 3: throw him into New England. I mean that is he

350
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: would that's throwing him in a deep end with an anchor.

351
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: Arizona then takes Marvin Harrison gladly I would Imagineeah, then

352
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: we have another trade. At five, I think the Chargers

353
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: should try to get out. The Chargers get number ten,

354
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: number one to eleven, number one, eighty five and a

355
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five second round draft pick. The Jets received

356
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: the fifth overall pick.

357
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: Ooh, the Jets.

358
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: They come up to get Molik neighbors.

359
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: Wow. I mean, I guess Williams zillion one year deal, right,

360
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson and neighbors for the next so long?

361
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: Who's the quarterback? Two years?

362
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: Right? Right? It's a nice pickup. Wow.

363
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: At six, the Giants in take Romadoon.

364
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: Jay makes sense, so McCarthy's still there, yes, okay.

365
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: The Titans take Joe Alt Okay, the Falcons take Dallas Turner,

366
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: those get Chalky.

367
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want it to I would like to get

368
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: out of eight if I was the Falcons, then we

369
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: have another trade. Okay, this has to be McCarthy. The

370
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: Raiders come up.

371
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: They get number nine and a twenty twenty five fifth

372
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: round draft pick for pick thirteen and pick forty four,

373
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: so for their first and.

374
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: Second round draft picks, it's not too bad.

375
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: This year. They move up five or four spots and

376
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: take their quarterback, and they take JJ McCarthy.

377
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: Okay, Jake, that's a lot more feasible to me if

378
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: I'm the Raiders or Broncos if i can move up

379
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: five spots. Okay, I get it, you know.

380
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: Okay. The Chargers then take JC Latham.

381
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: See, I was gonna say that when I said that

382
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 3: I'd like to get out of five from the Chargers,

383
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: but I hesitated because the receiver needs are so bad.

384
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: I think Harbor and Latham are like a match rade Heaven,

385
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: which breaks my heart because I want Latham to be

386
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 3: there twenty.

387
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: He probably recruited them out of high school, I'm sure.

388
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

389
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: At eleven, the Patriots, after trading Town, take fashion.

390
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 3: U nice left tackle. Just play them right.

391
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 2: Then we've got another trade. The Eagles come up to twelve,

392
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: they give up to the Broncos. Picks twenty two and

393
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: fifty from Denver.

394
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 3: I'd be really strong getting backwards.

395
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And did they come up to get Terry and Arnold?

396
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: I would say, is this for Mitchell? Maybe? But Arnold

397
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 3: would make all the sense in the world too, a

398
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: corner for them.

399
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 2: The Bears then take Byron Murphy at thirteen. Okay, the Saints.

400
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: Felt like that for the Bears, you're not gonna get

401
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: a doon today and move back a little bit, pack

402
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 3: some Metra stuff. Yeah, yeah, they don't have a second anyway.

403
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: The Saints take to Lacy Fluaga.

404
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna like him a lot. Yeah.

405
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: The Colts in take brock Bauers.

406
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: Nice, Okay, what's that well for them?

407
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: At sixteen, the Seahawks take Troy Fetanu, who is visiting

408
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: the Steelers today.

409
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: Yuck.

410
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: And this is what I fear with this whole thing. Now,

411
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: Now your top five offensive tackles all they're gone.

412
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're gonna be highly sought after, and there's

413
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: so many landing spots for them between one and nineteen.

414
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: Of course, one thing on Seattle though, because I think

415
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 3: Seattle could definitely be in the Fetanhu market. This might

416
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: not be enough but they did sign Lake and Tomlinson today,

417
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 3: they did yesterday. I mean that's if they draft Fatano,

418
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: they would start him at guard. Yes, and they signed

419
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: a guard today, so I don't know. I'm hoping they

420
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: love Pennix.

421
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: At seventeen, Jacksonville takes Quinya Mitchell.

422
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: That makes sense too, it's a little early. I'd take

423
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: Murphy ahead of them, but or not Murphia lsu dude.

424
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: At eighteen, the Bengals take Amarius Mims.

425
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 3: That works out well for them, yeah, I mean, if

426
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 3: you want to sit him a year, maybe even play

427
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 3: some guard, but you don't have to ask him to

428
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: play now, yeah, right.

429
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: Or I mean they don't really have a tight end either,

430
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: so when they use those, they use six offensive line packages.

431
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 3: A lot of that. Yeah, yeah, and they obviously like

432
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: size of tackle. Yes.

433
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: Uh. At nineteen, the Rams take Jared Verse.

434
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: Good, Okay, you want him off the board. He's the

435
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: first second edge.

436
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: A second edge. So at twenty the stage there the

437
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: Steelers take Cooper Dejeene.

438
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 3: Really okay, Yeah, and let's see how the rest of

439
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: it works out.

440
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: Because six offensive tackles taken ahead.

441
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: Of you, yeah, then I got no qualms with it.

442
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: All yea and Mimes versus the Gene to me is tough.

443
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think just everything that the Steelers have done

444
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: this year tells me that they are all in on

445
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: this season. Degene isn't all in on this season.

446
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: Play going to help a lot. I mean, I know whereas.

447
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: Mems maybe maybe not right.

448
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 3: And I know they assigned quarter Roll Patterson, but someone's

449
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 3: gonna love Degene for this kickoff roll too. Oh yeah,

450
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: I mean there's no question about that.

451
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 2: Well, and you're right now you're using you know, Austin

452
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: as your punt returner.

453
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: Austin makes the team.

454
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 2: Degene could do that. You could do that too, not

455
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: let alone. I know Mike Tomlin doesn't like to use

456
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: defensive players to do that, but he's.

457
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: Your best guy. Yeah. I don't think Thomas from LSU

458
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: went yet.

459
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: He is not.

460
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: He's the only one I would have considered, Like none

461
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 3: of the other offensive lineman would I consider over to Gene.

462
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 3: We didn't have that conversation. Like if for me, if Mems,

463
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: Dejeene and Thomas are all sitting there, my brain would explode,

464
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: like I just go, Eagles, give me anything of twenty

465
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: two so I don't have to make this decision, alrighty.

466
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: At twenty one, the Dolphins take Xavier Worthy Speed Speed Speed?

467
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: Do they really need Xavier Worthy? That? Now? I would

468
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,320

00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 3: Right? I put that on on Twitter and Dolphins fans crucified,

471
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 3: you know, like they would Yeah, they want nothing to

472
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 3: do with it. But I'm like, they have cat problems.

473
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: They haven't signed to. They're gonna be rolling the tyree.

474
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: They're trying to have to look at what just happened

475
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: with DeVante Smith and say we can't afford.

476
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: To Kim We match that, all right, He's gonna want

477
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: the exact same thing now, I mean, the exact same class,

478
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: are the same college. I'd love to get Waltlem but

479
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: I understand them not wanting to move them. But I

480
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: don't know they're gonna have a choice.

481
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: At twenty two, the Broncos, after trading back, take Bo Nicks.

482
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: Okay, that works out real well? Yeah, I mean I

483
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 3: don't love Knicks, but I could see they at least

484
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: have a quarterback.

485
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: At twenty three, after trading back or getting the extra pick,

486
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: the Patriots take Brian Thomas.

487
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 3: Great, so they got forshawan who and Thomas Those are

488
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 3: building blocks, right.

489
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: At twenty four, the Cowboys take Tyler Geyiton.

490
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 3: That sure adds up to Yeah, like Tyler Smith not

491
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: Tyron Smith is such a good guard, and I know

492
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: he could play tackle, but I would hate to move

493
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: him to tackle. I mean, just he got Zach Martin

494
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 3: and him. I mean I would love to draft a

495
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: tackle if them.

496
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: At twenty five, the Packers take Graham Barton.

497
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, boy, that fits them.

498
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: At twenty six, Tampa Bay takes Nate Wiggins.

499
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: Wow, that's pretty good value this late.

500
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Twenty seven, the Cardinals take Chop Robinson.

501
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 3: They could go so any directions with that spot.

502
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 2: At twenty eight, Buffalo takes a Donni Mitchell.

503
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: They should be thrilled about that. Yeah, I thought Jacksonville

504
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 3: took a Donni Mitchell.

505
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: No, they took the corner.

506
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 3: Mitchell, that mitchll the other Mitchell. Oh yeah, that's why

507
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 3: I got screwed up.

508
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: At twenty nine, Detroit takes Darius Robinson.

509
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 3: He would fit in. They play them all over that line.

510
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 2: At thirty, the Ravens take Jordan Morgan. He's not really

511
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: their kind of player.

512
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: He's not he'd be a guard for him. Yeah, I mean,

513
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: I don't think he's rugged enough for that.

514
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: He's not a glass eater.

515
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: No, I don't know if he's an AFC North.

516
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: No, I don't know that he is.

517
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah right, Yeah, he's not a bad prospect. No, it's

518
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: that's it seems like a West coast Now.

519
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: I could see them taking this next guy dead at

520
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: thirty one. San Francisco takes Layout too late. Two.

521
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm you gonna win now. Yeah, that's I

522
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 3: think he's a big time win now pick.

523
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: And then at thirty two, the Chiefs take Kingsley Sue Mattaiah.

524
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: They can wait on him. Yeah, that's a smart pick

525
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: looking here.

526
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: Then at the Steelers pick in round two, he has

527
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: at fifty one, the Steelers taking Xavier Legette. This is

528
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about with the bill. Yeah, I hadn't

529
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 2: even looked at this one yet.

530
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: But you got your you got you're done a D back,

531
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: You've done a D back, you got your receiver. Yeah,

532
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you'd love an offensive lineman, but I'm sure

533
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 3: that's coming.

534
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: The next The next pick, however, is Blake Fisher.

535
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 3: Where was Fraser?

536
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 2: Uh? Fraser went thirty nine to the Panthers.

537
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 3: And Okay, let's say hypothetically you have the gene right,

538
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: and Fraser and legetto there. Who you take? Well, Fraser's

539
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: not there, I know, But I mean, if if it

540
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 3: came down to it, I think I would I would

541
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 3: take Yet I would.

542
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 2: Have to see what else is available at wide receiver yea.

543
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: As I say too. If Pearsall's there and the others.

544
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: If there are other receivers there, then then I'd take

545
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 2: a look at it. But in this Pearsall went at

546
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: forty nine to the Bengals.

547
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 3: It gets a great pick there. Yeah, I got no

548
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 3: cloms with that at all.

549
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: So at fifty two goes Blake Fisher. I think, you know,

550
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: just looking at who was still available here. Ruke Arororo

551
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: went at fifty five.

552
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 3: Consider it.

553
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris Jenkins went at fifty four to the to

554
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: the Browns, like both those guys. Roger Rosengarten went to

555
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: the to the Packers at fifty eight.

556
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 3: That's where I think he belongs.

557
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sayers still went to the huge Houston Texans at

558
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: fifty nine.

559
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: I'm taking to get over all those guys.

560
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: But I once you take this is the beauty of

561
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: the gene. Once I take the gene, I'm out of

562
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: the sand stroll.

563
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't need that in that right, all right.

564
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: We're inis rach Straar some of these other guys that

565
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 2: were so available there.

566
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 3: In round two, Lassiter, you know, right, yeah.

567
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: In round three the Steelers take at eighty four. Well,

568
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: I don't like this Cedric van Prant.

569
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: I'm just he's not for me. But if that, Frankly,

570
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 3: if that was McCormick, i'd be like, Okay, it's a

571
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: little early, but yeah, I'm cool with it.

572
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: Because here are the guys. Seventy seven, Raiders took Max Milton.

573
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: Well, you would have been in that market anyway.

574
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: Not in that market. It's at eighty two. The Colts

575
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 2: took Andrew Phillips. Yeah, that that market.

576
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of scenarios. You'd be like keeping

577
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,959
Speaker 3: your fingers crossed. So if you hadn't taken the g right,

578
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: either one of those guys gets to me run the podium,

579
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, I'm just not big on Van Pran,

580
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: but I don't mind the center there.

581
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Malachai Corley was still there. Bo Limmer went at

582
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: eighty nine.

583
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 3: I might say I like Limmer more than Van Prant.

584
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: I just I think he's a better fit.

585
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: Probably probably is.

586
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Massan Smith went at ninety five, so we just

587
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: missed out on him at ninety eight. Johnny Wilson goes

588
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: at ninety six. At ninety eight, the Steelers take Matt

589
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 2: Gonclave's the offensive tackle to pit.

590
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 3: I don't hate it. Yeah, I think he's a better

591
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: prospect than we've We just haven't brought him up much. Yeah,

592
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: I mean that then we've given him at the end

593
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: of last year. Yeah no, but he moves people in

594
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: the run game. He's but I think it compete for

595
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: the right tackle spot, probably early.

596
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 2: The pick after him was Dominic Pooney. Then Tyke Smith

597
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: went one hundred. Moving on to round four, Mace McCormick

598
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 2: went at one o four. I'd rather have Mason McCormick.

599
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: Than Van Priyan.

600
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. Think I'd rather Bowlimmer than Bran. I

601
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: think he fits the I think he fits the scheme better.

602
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 3: I'm a Norzade fan too. I like Bordolini too.

603
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, who else goes here? Let's see a Bordolini goes

604
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 2: at one fifteen.

605
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 3: That's see, that's I mean, that's not a bad place

606
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 3: to shop that area.

607
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 2: Is not like if I picked, if I take the

608
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: center at ninety eight, I probably have my choice of

609
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: the which guy do I like the best of that group?

610
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right right? Like if in this instance, who would

611
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 3: we have taken instead of van Pran and then we

612
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: would have got a center with the next pick, probably,

613
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 3: well I would have taken it.

614
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: I would have taken one of the centers instead of

615
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: van Pran. Yeah, that's what you're saying ninety eight, Yeah,

616
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: because you'd still have your you'd have your pick, right

617
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: right right. We missed out I think we missed out

618
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: on Did I say we missed out on Limber? I

619
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: think we Yeah, we missed out on the Yah. Yeah,

620
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: with the second of that, with that pick at ninety eight,

621
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: we would have had our pick of McCormick obviously Bordelini.

622
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, right right right that I've been fine, uh at.

623
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: One nineteen Yeah, the Steelers taking kal and King the

624
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 2: corner cornerback out of Penn State. You don't need him,

625
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: you don't need him.

626
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 3: Would I be fine with that? In a vacuum maybe

627
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: I know they'd know a ton about them. They end

628
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 3: up with the pit guy, the Penn State guy. You know,

629
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 3: I mean if you take the gene though that.

630
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 2: You don't need him, you know, that's an Yeah. So

631
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 2: the pics right after that, Malik Washington, Jamari Thrash, Cole Bishop,

632
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 2: I take coold Bishop.

633
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: I take this cool Bishop. And even though we'd say

634
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: that's done available, you said you're done in.

635
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: The one twenty three, Luke McCaffrey.

636
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 3: Okay, here's a receiver. They end up a lot different.

637
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, be a lot different. Yeah, I'm just looking here.

638
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: To see Washington and McCaffrey behavior.

639
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: Thomas Goes, McKinley, Jackson, Mohammed Kamara, Chris Jones, Christian Jones.

640
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: I'd rather I'd go Christian Jones if we had gone

641
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: with a different center there at ninety eight, Yeah, taking

642
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 2: who'd we look at there at ninety at the eighty

643
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: four instead.

644
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: So we don't have a we have conclaves. Yeah, but

645
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 3: you could have him and Jones battle it out right,

646
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: both make.

647
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: So if we took if we if we'd have gone

648
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: let's say we'd have gone with the Center at eighty four, okay,

649
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: because we took Van Prian there. Well, at that point,

650
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: Limmer was still there. All the Senate basically all the

651
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: centers are still there. Yeah, we just taken a different

652
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: center there. Then it at ninety eight.

653
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: We wouldn't have taken King.

654
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: We wouldn't have taken King.

655
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 3: Who they give us.

656
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: That was gone Cleaves.

657
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: That's okay, that's fine. Yeah, we needed to tackle King

658
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: is where we would have not taken the same position.

659
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, King, King would not have been the pick there.

660
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: It had been center tackle, something different than a corner. Yeah,

661
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 3: with those three.

662
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: Picks, maybe it's the edge m hmm. The star player

663
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: for you too good, there's still an edge need there.

664
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: There's definitely still an edge need. I still think Golden

665
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: could be in the mix for that. But if there's

666
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: a good, good one there, I think I'm all years

667
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: Mom macamara. Would he would fit in really well? Yeah?

668
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: Or you take one of the slot receiver, or you

669
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 3: take one of the other slot receivers. So they were

670
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: like four in a row that went right after that,

671
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 3: Washington or mcconk or not mconkee, McCaffrey.

672
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: Uh, moving into all those guys. Well, Steelers don't have

673
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: a pick in a round five again in the early

674
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: round six picks, So at one seventy eight, the Steelers

675
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: take Javon Solomon edge sure out of Troy.

676
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 3: I know very little about him, but he was I

677
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 3: know he's a bit of a project from a small school.

678
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: But an edge there makes some sense to you know.

679
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: And then at one ninety five the Steelers take Kenny

680
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: Gallup safety out of Howard. Well, he's got three defensive

681
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: backs on it. They're not taking three defensive backs.

682
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I'm fine with a safety this late

683
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: if you have the gene. My only part of the thing,

684
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: the King is pick is the only one that's good.

685
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, two picks after three picks after that the

686
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: pick or two picks after a one ninety seven, Atlanta

687
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: takes Gabe Haul. I'd rather have you. I'd rather have

688
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: Gaye Hal I don't didn't have an added d Lineman.

689
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Like I have no problem with their last

690
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: pick being a safety. That makes all sense in the world,

691
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: even if you have the gene. But of all the

692
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: picks that he made, the king one. Positionally we can

693
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 3: argue about the players, you know, But a center with

694
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: the van Pran pick, Okay, maybe it's not van Pran,

695
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 3: but it's a center. King at the corner spot is

696
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: where is the only one that doesn't just redundant. Yeah,

697
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: that one's the only one does.

698
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: It's super redundant. And maybe he did that. Well, he's

699
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: a Pittsburgh guy, so we just take him. They're not

700
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: going to do that just to take the guy.

701
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: No. No, he's such an interesting player though too. I mean,

702
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 3: if you can get the player from two years ago

703
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: and maybe you know way more about King than everybody else,

704
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: and you can explain what happened to him over the

705
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 3: last year, maybe he's worth it. But not if you

706
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: have the gene you know. I'm just saying in general.

707
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: I mean, if you can get him in that area

708
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: and you haven't addressed corner much or you have a

709
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: slot or something like that, only yeah, maybe, but I

710
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 3: have a hard time with him.

711
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point in there, I would like to

712
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: address the defensive line.

713
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: Like instead of King pick if it was best defensive

714
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: lineman available, Yeah, that would have worked out.

715
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: If it's Christian Boyd or someone like that.

716
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: I was thinking Boyd, I don't know where he's landed.

717
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: And then he went at one to Denver.

718
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: Right, So if the draft is exactly the same, you

719
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: put Boyd in instead of King, and we just swapped

720
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: centers show. Yeah, I mean the builds still good. Yeah,

721
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 3: Like to your Degene points earlier, it just it just

722
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: fits so much better when you do it that way. No,

723
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: I hear you. He needs to be there, He needs

724
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: to be there. But I hear what you're saying. I

725
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 3: mean it has a lot of ripple effect. You know,

726
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 3: you're setting yourself up for the best player available in

727
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: the fourth round. You know that your first round pick

728
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: and do that.

729
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, if you know you'll play a lot of

730
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: that three whatever you want to call de Gene, I

731
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: don't care if you call him a corner, if you

732
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: call him a safety.

733
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: He's on the field.

734
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: He's just a defensive back.

735
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: Probably eighty percent of that might be out there one

736
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: hundred percent. He could be your second corner opposite porter

737
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 3: when you're just.

738
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 2: Or you could just you can live in three nickel

739
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: or or three safety packages right right, you know, I.

740
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 3: Mean you'd be a nickel a lot. Yeah. I think

741
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 3: that's the way to get.

742
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: Because there were times when he played linebacker.

743
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 3: Oh he could creep in an eye, oks and what's

744
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: his face? That the safety they signed from Miami, he

745
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: could play it in the box. A lot of elly Yeah,

746
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: he's got size and you know you're not light KZ.

747
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: Why I wouldn't see the.

748
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: Field much unless there's an injury.

749
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean he's a good death piece.

750
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 2: So absolutely, yeah, yeah, no, I'd love that Degene.

751
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been our crush for six months, but

752
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 3: it is starting to add up to It's a it's

753
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 3: a nice starting formula, you know what I mean.

754
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: Yes, the bill just worked because I think those centers

755
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: in round three, you got two third round picks. One

756
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 2: of those can be a center.

757
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah who almost undoubtedly.

758
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: Undoubtedly, and he will come in and play right away for.

759
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: You, probably probably or at least compete.

760
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: Because all those guys have a ton well, other than McCormick,

761
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: they all have a ton of experience at center.

762
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: McCormick has a lot of experience, but not a period.

763
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, maybe he's a little more of a project.

764
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: But those other guys should be able to be pretty

765
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: NFL ready. Yeah, or fight with Spencer Anderson.

766
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: We're talking about Bordolini before the before the Senior Bowl,

767
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: like how many how many centers or offensive lineman period

768
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: from Wisconsin.

769
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: Being failures, right, Yeah, and it's pretty safe road and

770
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: he's fits athletically and all that. He had a rough

771
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 3: Senior Bowl, but a lot of those guys do and

772
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: one on one.

773
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: One on one.

774
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not gonna asked to do that.

775
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely not.

776
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: Take that all in all. Yeah, let's swap out King right,

777
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: have a different center. Yeah, maybe we're too hard on

778
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: Van Prim to be honest with you. I mean, he'd

779
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 3: probably not playing in the league a long time. I

780
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 3: had some love them.

Speaker 2: Steelers dot Com and Matt the We had twenty five

795
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 2: teams I believe today opened up there the first phase

796
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 2: of their OTAs the Steelers. And so we have already

797
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 2: news trickling out that this person didn't attend, that person

798
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: didn't attend.

799
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 3: First of all, these voluntary they're voluntary, and not a

800
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 3: lot happens. Yeah, it's barely news, but we mean something

801
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 3: to talk about.

802
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you look at so Justine Contract, Justin Jefferson

803
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: didn't show up at you know, the Vikings for the

804
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 2: first one, and and mikeay Parson's skipped out and see

805
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 2: Lamb and some of these guys.

806
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 3: So what so what it doesn't matter at all? I mean,

807
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 3: what did everybody show up for the Steelers? Do we

808
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 3: know or do we care? I mean I don't care

809
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, But I was saying, if

810
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 3: there's someone notable not there, I wouldn't care.

811
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 2: When sporters aren't even allowed in the building today, really,

812
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: you know, I could go down if I wanted to.

813
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 3: I don't.

814
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't care.

815
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's there's nothing to see it.

816
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: It's right, there's not there's nothing going on in the

817
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: practice field. It's classroom work, it's lifting that kind of stuff.

818
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 2: And if a guy misses that, so be it.

819
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: So be it. Yeah, if they have anything going on contractually,

820
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 3: financially or personally, that they should skip it.

821
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 2: So what the only thing that matters. Some of these

822
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: guys have incentives tied into their contracts to show up

823
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 2: at these things. That's between them and the team.

824
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 3: Them and the team. But no team should hold it

825
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: against guys that don't show up. And especially if you're

826
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 3: a Jefferson or a Lamb on the cusp of getting

827
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 3: a huge contract, you don't want tweak an ankle or

828
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 3: get hurt or whatever too. I mean, it's a smart move.

829
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 2: So justin Jefferson's so he's in fifty year, he get

830
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: his fifty year option here nineteen point seventy four to

831
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: three million dollars. Yeah, he wants more than that. There's this,

832
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 2: I mean he's a thirty Who are we kidding here? Yeah?

833
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: And what DeVante Smith got twenty five?

834
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: Right? Right?

835
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 3: I think Lamb will get the if Defendser's next, you know,

836
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: like right, it won't be Ayukn next. I think that

837
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 3: has the wait if they were to add more to him,

838
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: I don't Wattle. It won't be Wattle. I don't think

839
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 3: they can do it right now, won't be Higgins. I

840
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 3: think it'll be Lamb and Jefferson. Jefferson's going to get

841
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 3: more than Lamb, but Lamb's going to be near the

842
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 3: top of the league.

843
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: The Vikings would be smart to make Lamb or I'm

844
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: sorry Jefferson first.

845
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: That would be too right because what if Dallas has

846
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 3: so I hadn't thought about this, but Dallas has done

847
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: a really good job job drafting and developing. I think

848
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 3: they're one of the better drafting teams in the league

849
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 3: over the last six, seven, eight years. But they overpay

850
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 3: their guys heavily, right, Yeah, I mean.

851
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 2: Which is why if I'm the Vikings, I want to

852
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: get Jefferson done.

853
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to have to jump off a bad contract.

854
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to when Dallas signed a CD Lamb

855
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: to a four year one hundred and think of him thirty.

856
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Jefferson's worth more, right, I mean, there's I

857
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 3: think Lamb is worth more than DeVante Smith. I mean,

858
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 3: we talked about this bunch on my podcast, Like wh

859
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 3: when to me Smith is like the definition of is

860
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: he a one or A two. I think he's right

861
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 3: on that line. And by that, I mean there's only

862
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 3: like twelve ones in the world fifteens. I mean like,

863
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,479
Speaker 3: I mean, to me, he's right there and awesome two

864
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 3: or borderline one. Lamb's better than that. I mean, Lamb's

865
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 3: probably the fifth best receiver in the league. And when

866
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: you factor in age, one of the most valuable Jefferson

867
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 3: is number one or right there in terms of who

868
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna pay, it's him and Jamar Chase a the

869
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 3: ones you when you factor in age. Yeah, so he's

870
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 3: gonna get more than Lamb for sure.

871
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 2: So I'm looking here at Wattle. Wattle's fifty year option

872
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: is fifteen point five.

873
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: Nine to one, which is a nice deal for them.

874
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 2: It's a nice deal for them. Yeah, yeah, not a

875
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: good deal for him necessarily, although.

876
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: That's are making almost double that.

877
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 2: I mean, well, it's his signing bonus was seventeen million,

878
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: so he's made more money than that in his career.

879
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: I mean, he can pay the electric bills. I mean, yeah, yeah,

880
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 3: he's okay.

881
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you give up a two right now?

882
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 3: I would definitely give up next just two. Yeah, I'd

883
00:38:58,920 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 3: give up a two right now.

884
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: And if you're the Dolphins, you want to make a

885
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 2: deal like that because if he walks after this year,

886
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna get a three. Maybe if you don't go

887
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 2: sign a bunch of people yourselves in the offseason.

888
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 3: But if we think as they think, they might not

889
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 3: care and they might be the Saints. All I care

890
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 3: about is trying to win this year, which I think

891
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: is dumb.

892
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: They could certainly use that fifteen point big fifteen point

893
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: six million dollars they get to sign the quarterback.

894
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 3: So two is up after this year? Yes, so yeah,

895
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 3: I believe Yeah. No, it's because Burrow and Herbert have

896
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: already got extended, right can is this pick up? Two is?

897
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 3: Did they? I think they picked up his fifth year option.

898
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 3: He's gonna play on it.

899
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 2: So he's he's nineteen Oh no, I'm sorry, he's twenty

900
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: three point basically twenty three point two million.

901
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 3: But they have to get a deal down with him

902
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: this year.

903
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 2: He's a free agent after this season as they can't.

904
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: They can't keep.

905
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 3: Back to the thing is, it's really and they have

906
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 3: a lot of bad contracts. Do me a favor, though,

907
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 3: I mean, I know, just like this, you can always

908
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 3: massage things and Frankly, this time last year, I thought

909
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: the Chargers would get hit harder than they did this offseason.

910
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: But the Dolphins cap after this regular season is about

911
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 3: as bad as I have ever seen, you know, for

912
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 3: an April situation. I mean, it is horrific. It's like

913
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 3: the Chargers was last year, or like the Saints always are.

914
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: They have a lot of bad deals and they just

915
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: pushed everything in. I think they have like the least

916
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 3: cap space in the league.

917
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: A year from that, they're saying it looks from here on,

918
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm looking at spots track estimated cap space is eight

919
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 2: point eight million dollars.

920
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: But that's the thing where I saw it was over

921
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: the cap, and then you hit on cap space and

922
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 3: it comes up twenty twenty four. If you go to

923
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, they looked like the worst in the league. Yeah,

924
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, that stuff can be hairy, but.

925
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: I mean I do know that they've got like Tyreek

926
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 2: Hill's thirty four million dollars, Bradley Chubb is twenty nine

927
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 2: million dollars. It's not twenty nine million dollar players. Ramsey's

928
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: twenty six.

929
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got a lot of big tickets.

930
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, Xavian Howard still on the still on the bus

931
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 2: for twenty two point nine million, Okay, like holy mackerel.

932
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's without two is contract. And yeah, I mean,

933
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 3: I mean, you do know the first year of a

934
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 3: big quarterback contract can be some help. It can help

935
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 3: the cap, but it's you're still gonna have to pay

936
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 3: him long term.

937
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: But if I'm Miami and I'm looking down the road,

938
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 2: a I might want to draft my receiver this year.

939
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 3: They've been linked to Odell a lot, right, That's why

940
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: I thought that might be the town to strike if

941
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 3: they if they sign.

942
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: Odell, go ahead and sign Odell a waste of time.

943
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 3: Well, I know, but that might open up and might

944
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 3: make them more willing to move Wattle.

945
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 2: But I would just like, hey, look, you want to

946
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 2: go get back into you know, you can go draft

947
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: another one.

948
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 3: Oh, they probably would and they get somebody.

949
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: Now you get cheaper, and you know, maybe that maybe

950
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: that would change what they would do at twenty one.

951
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 3: Maybe certainly could put you in the day two receiver market. Yeah,

952
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 3: I know Ty has come out and said something along

953
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: the lines of I'm only playing two more years or

954
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 3: whatever that was. And I don't know if that was

955
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 3: last year and then this upcoming one and then he's done.

956
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 3: But he's publicly talked about retirement. Maybe they think when

957
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 3: he goes they can switch the old waddle. You don't

958
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: want to lose both.

959
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: Where's the thing Wattle's already twenty seven?

960
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's not as you know, he's gonna

961
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 3: get paid once.

962
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: He's gonna get paid once he paid one. He's not

963
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: gonna you know, he's not gonna get He's gonna be

964
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 2: twenty hitting the free agent market next year, twenty eight.

965
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 2: He's not gonna get a four year you know.

966
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, multi. I think he'll get a deal a lot

967
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 3: like DeVante Smith. Yeah, it'll be a three year deal,

968
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 3: probably a three year deal. Yeah'll probably be higher than

969
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 3: that if he actually hits the open market.

970
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just be I'd be on the phone

971
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 2: with him.

972
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: No, what's a good one?

973
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: What's the take here?

974
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 3: What are we?

975
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 2: What are we talking here?

976
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 3: Can you do one contract? Look up while we're having

977
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 3: this conversation too? What's Chris Godwin cost? They just gave

978
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 3: Evans money. I could see them taking a receiver sort

979
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 3: of early because those guys aren't young. I think you

980
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 3: can get Godwin cheaper than some of these names in

981
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 3: terms of draft compensation too.

982
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 2: Because of his age.

983
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 3: Eighteen five doesn't break my heart. I mean, Steelers could

984
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 3: easily stomach that this is the last year of his deal.

985
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: That's why I bring him out because I think he's

986
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 3: gonna be tough to resign too. He's had some injuries.

987
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 3: I think he's a high quality receiver that gets slept

988
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 3: on a little bit slot. But more than that, tough.

989
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 3: He's an interesting one to me.

990
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I do think if if things don't happen

991
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 2: necessarily during the draft, you know, Davante Adams is sixteen million.

992
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 2: Who now he goes he goes way up after this,

993
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: but there's you're out of it. Yeah, I mean he's

994
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: like thirty million next.

995
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 3: They'd be smart to move him. And they gave up

996
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 3: a first and a third for him. Like, I'm not

997
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 3: in that market for him because of his age. I

998
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 3: mean he's worth less now. I don't know, he's a

999
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 3: lesser player, right, I mean I would give you a

1000
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 3: next year second for DeVante Adams and gladly pay him

1001
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 3: or massages contract from here on out or whatever. He's

1002
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 3: better and stuff on Diggs, Yeah, definitely better and.

1003
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: He's got the old man game.

1004
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 3: He does a good one. I mean, even if you

1005
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 3: got pure Saul in round two, I'd still kick the

1006
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 3: tires on all these guys. Yeah, you know, for future

1007
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 3: picks after the draft ends. What do you want?

1008
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if you're in it, you're in it.

1009
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: Let's go win it.

1010
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 3: You can put Pear Saul, Godwin and Pickings out there,

1011
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 3: or yeah, some combination of the pretty scary right friar

1012
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 3: mooth in the back.

1013
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyways, I just thought that was interesting. But let's

1014
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: get to another break. That's going to do it for

1015
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: our number one of the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio.

1016
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 2: We'll be back with our number two and you know

1017
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 2: what that means. Oh yeah, right after this
